Ten Immigration Laws That Will Make Liberals FURIOUS | The Federalist Papers

Ten Immigration Laws That Will Make Liberals FURIOUS | The Federalist Papers:

"These hypocritical jackasses are building a non-scalable wall around their precious little convention but they REFUSE to build a wall to keep illegals out of the COUNTRY.
It doesn’t matter that illegals cost taxpayers billions of dollars every year. It doesn’t matter that some illegals commit heinous crimes; get deported and then walk right back over the border.

Nope, Democrats don’t care about the actual country but they certainly like to keep themselves safe don’t they?"

Eight reasons Leave won the UK's referendum on the EU - BBC News

Eight reasons Leave won the UK's referendum on the EU - BBC News:
"The UK has voted to quit the European Union following a referendum on its membership.
So how did the Leave campaign win?
1. Brexit economic warnings backfire
What started off as a trickle soon became a steady stream and ended up as a flood.
The public was bombarded with warnings about how they would be poorer if they voted to leave the EU but, in the end, weren't convinced by what they were told and/or believed it was a price worth paying.
The CBI, the IMF, the OECD, the IFS - an alphabet soup of experts lined up to say economic growth would be hobbled, unemployment would go up, the pound would plummet and British business would be left in a no man's land outside the EU.
The Bank of England raised the prospect of a recession while The Treasury said it would be forced to put income tax up and slash spending on the NHS, schools and defence.
If that wasn't enough, President Obama suggested the UK would go to the "back of the queue" in terms of securing a trade deal with the US while top EU official Donald Tusk hinted at the end of Western political civilization..."

Homeland Security Chairman McCaul: The war is at our doorstep | Fox News

Homeland Security Chairman McCaul: The war is at our doorstep | Fox News:

"We are a nation at war, and our own city streets have once again become the frontlines.

The tragedy in Orlando is the worst terrorist attack on American soil since 9/11, and it reminds us that nearly 15 years after that fateful day, our enemies are still dead set on attacking us—from outside and from within.

To defend the American people, we need bold leadership and strategic thinking, including a clear-eyed assessment of the danger, a vision for how to win the wider war against Islamist terror, and a willingness to take decisive action.

On each of these accounts, the Obama administration has failed.  That is way House Republicans have put forward a strong national security agenda to get us back on track."

SUNY-Albany student confesses to making up racial attack story

SUNY-Albany student confesses to making up racial attack story - The College Fix:
"One of the three SUNY-Albany students who alleged she was a victim of a race-based attack on a bus has now confessed to fabricating the story.
Yesterday, Alexis Briggs “tearfully apologized” while pleading guilty to concocting the whole tale.
Image result for liberal liarsIn a (plea) deal she’ll avoid any jail time, but will have to do 100 hours worth of community service and avoid any new criminal charges within the year.
In late January while riding a bus, Briggs, along with fellow students Ariel Agudio and Asha Burwell, claimed they were taunted with racial slurs and then attacked.
But several videos of the “incident” showed no evidence of the trio’s tale; in fact, the women ended up being charged themselves for misdemeanor assault, while two also were tagged with “falsely reporting an incident...”

Horror and Hush-Up in Twin Falls, Idaho

Horror and Hush-Up in Twin Falls, Idaho - Michelle Malkin:
"Something wicked happened in Idaho's rural Magic Valley.
The evil has been compounded by politicians, media and special interest groups doing their damnedest to suppress the story and quell a righteous citizen rebellion.
On June 7, a brief news item appeared on local Twin Falls, Idaho-based KMVT about a "reported sexual assault that possibly occurred near the Fawnbrook Apartments" five days earlier.
...Police and the local prosecutor's office grudgingly confirmed that an investigation had begun into the incident.
The victim:
A mentally disabled 5-year-old girl. 
The alleged perpetrators:
Three boys, ages 7, 10 and 14, from Sudanese and Iraqi immigrant families (predominantly Muslim) who have been in the country for less than two years -- all but confirming that they are refugees.
What happened?
The case is under seal because it involves minors, but prosecutor Grant Loebs said there is videotape of the alleged sexual assault (a fact which local activists first divulged).
Two of the boys are in custody.
It's not clear what happened to the third.
Here's the sickening thing:
The people who should have been asking tough questions -- like, you know, mainstream journalists -- have spent more time attacking local whistleblowers and bloggers than they have spent demanding answers and holding public officials accountable.
Why?..."

Anatomy of the terror threat: Files show hundreds of US plots, refugee connection | Fox News

Anatomy of the terror threat: Files show hundreds of US plots, refugee connection | Fox News:

"The files are sure to inflame the debate over the Obama administration’s push to admit thousands more refugees from Syria and elsewhere, a proposal Donald Trump has vehemently opposed on the 2016 campaign trail.

[T]hese data make clear that the United States not only lacks the ability to properly screen individuals prior to their arrival, but also that our nation has an unprecedented assimilation problem,” Sens. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., and Ted Cruz, R-Texas, told President Obama in a June 14 letter, obtained by FoxNews.com.

The files also give fresh insight into the true scope of the terror threat and cover a wide range of cases, including:"



Free Tampons: NYC Passes Law to Require Tampons to Be Made Available in Schools, Jails, Shelters

Free Tampons: NYC Passes Law to Require Tampons to Be Made Available in Schools, Jails, Shelters | Health News | US News:
"New York City lawmakers have passed what advocates call a pioneering requirement for free tampons and sanitary pads in public schools, homeless shelters and jails.
In a first of its kind, New York City passed a law mandating the free distribution of tampons in select locations.
NEW YORK (AP) — New York City is on track to become the nation's first city to require free tampons and sanitary pads in public schools, homeless shelters and jails after lawmakers approved the idea Tuesday amid a national discussion of the costs of having a period.
The proposal, which Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio's administration supports, marks a new direction in activists' push to dismantle what they see as unfair financial barriers between women and needed sanitary products..."

"Steyn Was Right and I Was Wrong" :: SteynOnline
"Mark is overseas in connection with research for a new book. 
But his decade-old bestseller America Alone is timelier than ever. 
Tarek Fatah begins his column in today's Toronto Sun as follows:
Almost 10 years ago, Maclean's magazine published an essay by Mark Steyn titled, "The future belongs to Islam".
In it, he suggested, "the West is growing old and enfeebled, and lacks the will to rebuff those who would supplant it."
It was an extract from Steyn's then best-selling book America Alone, where he concluded, "It's the end of the world as we've known it..."
There was an outcry among Canada's Islamists, who took Steyn and Maclean's to the Ontario and British Columbia Human Rights Commissions.
My fellow Sun columnist, Farzana Hassan, and I wrote a rejoinder in Maclean's titled, "Mark Steyn has a right to be wrong."
Today, I recognize, Steyn was right and I was wrong.
Read the rest of Mr Fatah's column to see why. 
America Alone was, as he says, a bestseller, and many presidents, prime ministers and other influential politicians read it and cited it
But too few western leaders made any serious attempt to change course. 
Autographed copies are available at the SteynOnline bookstore, and approaching its tenth birthday Mark's book remains an indispensable guide to the new world now emerging.

Immigration boss who barred feds from terror suspect up for award, but agency won't say why | Fox News

Immigration boss who barred feds from terror suspect up for award, but agency won't say why | Fox News:

"A U.S. immigration official blamed in a federal report for barring law enforcement agents from a suspect in the San Bernardino terror attack has been nominated for a prestigious agency award – but her bosses in Washington refuse to say what she did to earn consideration.

Irene Martin heads the San Bernardino U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office, where last December, she allegedly blocked five armed Department of Homeland Security agents from the man authorities say supplied the firepower in the deadly attack a day earlier. Although an Inspector General's report found she acted improperly, and then lied to investigators, FoxNews.com has learned she has been nominated for the Secretary’s Award for Valor."

Instapundit » Blog Archive » YOU’D THINK THE CITY WOULD MIND, BUT YOU’D BE WRONG: After banning Uber and Lyft, DUI arrests skyro…:
YOU’D THINK THE CITY WOULD MIND, BUT YOU’D BE WRONG: 
After banning Uber and Lyft, DUI arrests skyrocket. “In the first three week after Uber and Lyft left Austin, DWI arrests were up 7.5 percent over the same time last year. 
City police made 359 DWI arrests from May 9, 2016 (the day Uber and Lyft shut down) to May 31, 2016. 
During that same period in 2015, Austin police made 334 DWI arrests.”
The thing is, these arrests generate revenue for the city. And, of course, traditional taxi services generate graft. 
So for politicians, it’s a no-brainer. If the public is worse off, tough."

Much at Steak in EPA’s Latest Beef

Much at Steak in EPA’s Latest Beef | Somewhat Reasonable:
"The recent release of the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) 600-page methane rule was the latest skirmish in the war on methane, but the next battle will be felt at your supermarket.
According to EPA, the oil and gas industry is the top methane offender, but livestock — especially cattle — is a close number-two, making ranchers and their cattle radical environmentalists’ next targets.
In November 2015, John Sutter wrote an article for CNN titled “Why Beef is the New SUV,” in which he stated reducing beef consumption is vital if the United States is going to play its part in limiting the increasing global temperatures to 2 degrees Celsius as originally set out in the 1992 U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change.
Sutter then went into great detail about how this can be done and why it’s imperative.
The “solutions” being studied range from requiring backpacks to be strapped to the backs of cattle to capture methane, injections to aid the cattle’s digest process, and genetically modifying cattle to produce less methane.
Scientists at Modern Meadow are even attempting to engineer meat from cell cultures.
Sound healthy to you?..."

Bill to Allow FBI Access to Browser History Without a Warrant Fails by Just Two Votes | TheBlaze.com

Bill to Allow FBI Access to Browser History Without a Warrant Fails by Just Two Votes | TheBlaze.com:

"WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate on Wednesday blocked an expansion of the government’s power to investigate suspected terrorists, a victory for civil libertarians and privacy advocates emboldened after a National Security Agency contractor’s revelations forced changes in how the communications of Americans are monitored.

After the massacre at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, senior Republicans had pressed for allowing the FBI to obtain a person’s digital fingerprints without first securing a judge’s permission. The mass shooting in Orlando on June 12 left 49 dead and 53 injured. The gunman had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State and other militant groups."

Young People Asked to Match Quotes to Clinton or Trump — See How They React When They Learn the Truth

Young People Asked to Match Quotes to Clinton or Trump — See How They React When They Learn the Truth | Video | TheBlaze.com:
Campus Reform polled several young people and asked them to match different quotes to either presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton or her GOP rival Donald Trump.

The “squares” in the challenge include the following:
• “This candidate wore a $12,000 suit while giving a speech about inequality.”
• “Which candidate said they carry hot sauce everywhere they go to ‘pander’ to black voters?”
• Which candidate said, “I want the Iranians to know that if I’m the president we will attack Iran if it attacks Israel. We would obliterate them”
• “Which candidate made a joke about ‘colored people time’ saying that black people are always late?”
• “Which candidate suggested a 12-year-old rape victim made up accusations because she enjoyed ‘fantasizing about older men’”
• “This candidate accepted millions of dollars from the kings of Saudi Arabia, Morocco and Oman.”
The Campus Reform reporter then informed the respondents that the answer to every single one was Hillary Clinton, leaving them stunned.
“Oh, that makes me sad,” one woman replied.
“Wow,” another said.
Several of the young people said they didn’t exactly trust Clinton. Watch the video below:
