The checkpoints are “a means of preventing smuggling organizations from exploiting existing transportation systems to travel to the interior of the United States,” the CBP said in a statement.
The Supreme Court has affirmed that the CBP can conduct immigration checks that are a “reasonable distance” of 100 air miles from U.S. borders and coastlines. Officers also have the ability to ask about their citizenship status irrespective of any suspicion.

"Digital free speech and access activists are raising alarms that new European Union regulations under consideration will lead to massive internet censorship and a costly enforcement system that could crush innovation and competition.
It's all about online copyright enforcement and the harsh measures that content creators like media outlets and entertainment companies want the European Union to adopt in order to try to stop the uncontrolled spread of their works.
So far it seems that the European Union is agreeing with the big dogs.
Last week the European Parliament's Legislative Affairs Committee voted to advance a "Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market."
...Article 11 will grant media outlets the authority to require anybody potentially excerpting even just snippets of their content to pay them a fee or get a license first, greatly expanding how much content is covered under copyright law.
We're talking about examples like the previews of chunks of text and photos that show up when you share a link on a social media outlet like Twitter or Facebook..."

Judicial Watch files House ethics complaint against Maxine Waters for 'inciting violence' - Washington Times:
Judicial Watch filed Monday an ethics complaint against Rep. Maxine Waters for “inciting violence and assaults on the Trump Cabinet,” according to Tom Fitton, president of the watchdog organization.
The group sent a hand-delivered letter to the chairman and co-chairman of the House Office of Congressional Ethics calling for an investigation into whether the California Democrat violated House ethics rules by encouraging violence against Trump Cabinet members.

California Considers Creating A Fake News Advisory Group.

California Considers Creating A Fake News Advisory Group.
California Considers Creating A Fake News Advisory Group.
What could go wrong?
Senate Bill 1424 would require the California Attorney General to create the advisory committee by April 1, 2019. It would need to consist of at least one person from the Department of Justice, representatives from social media providers, civil liberties advocates, and First Amendment scholars.
The advisory group would be required to study how false information is spread online and come up with a plan for social media platforms to fix the problem. The Attorney General would then need to present that plan to the Legislature by December 31, 2019. The group would also need to come up with criteria establishing what is “fake news” versus what is inflammatory or one-sided.The Electronic Frontier Foundation opposes the bill, calling it “flawed” and “misguided.” The group argues the measure would make the government and advisory group responsible for deciding what is true or false. It also points out the First Amendment prevents content-based restrictions, even if the statements of “admittedly false.”
"I can't imagine anything like this surviving a Supreme Court challenge, but then only a fool pins his hopes on the shifting opinions of nine judges.
And it takes an even bigger fool to pin his hopes on a government agency deciding what is true and correct."-- STEPHEN GREEN

Trail
of Deceit
By
Tammy Derouin
The
downright nastiness which has infected our country, over the past
decade, is difficult to comprehend. But then again, we had an
administration which targeted the political opposition and weaponized
government departments to further its agenda. When they failed to
retain control, when their attempts to continue their trail of deceit
failed, they had to double down. The lack of civility towards those
who do not fall in lock step with the liberal agenda of enslavement
is extremely disturbing and very dangerous.
The
Left uses hatred as a weapon to promote their political agenda. I'd
say it's unbelievable but in today's world, certain behavior has
become common, acceptable, and quite sadly, expected. Liberals can
spew vulgar remarks and make outlandish statements regarding the
safety and well-being of others, or any other kind of distasteful
comments with little to no concern about consequences. Heck, you
stand a good chance of being rewarded and cheered on by other
like-minded individuals for participating in such wretched behavior.
Gone
are the days when true shame would follow such irresponsible
outbursts. Sometimes it makes me wonder just how many of these
tirades are planned. I don't care if people are on opposite sides of
an issue. Calling or hoping for harm to come to individuals or to
nudge others to join in on attempts to invade the personal lives of
those with whom they disagree, and their children, is beyond
irresponsible. It's downright evil.......

JOEL KOTKIN: CALIFORNIA, GREENHOUSE GAS REGULATION, AND CLIMATE CHANGE.
"California has adopted the most extensive climate change policies, laws and regulations in the United States, and the state’s climate leaders are routinely heralded for taking bold and generally unilateral action to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions within California’s borders to combat climate change. ...Governor Brown has often proclaimed that California’s GHG reductions will be “meaningless” unless other states and countries can be persuaded to follow California’s example...
"Leftism is amazingly destructive.---Posted by Glenn Reynolds"...This paper also examines the performance of California’s economy as experienced by California residents, which presents a substantially different story than the aggregated statewide data used by CARB to conclude the state is enjoying a successful boom. In fact, California has the nation’s highest poverty rate, and by far the largest number of Americans living in poverty: about 8 million Californians, and more than 2 million children, live below the federal poverty level. California also has the nation’s highest homeless rate, and again by far the largest number of homeless Americans, including more than a quarter of a million families, children, and adults..."

"Turns out that the Obama Administration paid Catholic Charities and Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service, as well as something called Southwest Key (a 'federal childcare contractor'), a lot of federal contract money to house unaccompanied alien children, from 2014 on.

"Turns out that the Obama Administration paid Catholic Charities and Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service, as well as something called Southwest Key (a 'federal childcare contractor'), a lot of federal contract money to house unaccompanied alien children, from 2014 on.
(House = substandard group homes.)
And those groups were then highly invested in keeping the kids and the money and the contracts, flowing.
To understand how this works, you must understand the very ugly "childcare contractor/refugee resettlement, government complex," in which too many groups have too much incentive to keep bringing in immigrants and refugees, of any age.
Ann Corcoran's Refugeeresettlementwatch.wordpress.com . is the single, must read, indispensable website.
Corcoran, who does this out out civic duty, tells you, daily, which groups are behind which refugee resettlement projects; how many immigrants and refugees are being put in particular places; and what the often quite unpleasant cultural outcomes are.

Her conclusion: It's not all excessive humanitarianism.
MONEY -- to religious 'non profit' groups (which pay salaries and enrich people, at taxpayer expense), is always behind this.
Stop the money flow.
Put them out of business."
Illegal alien kids are unhappy having to recite the Pledge of Allegiance
Illegal alien kids are unhappy having to recite the Pledge of Allegiance:
Not a day goes by without some headline about the suffering of illegal alien kids, nearly all of whom are eating and living better than they ever have in their lives, courtesy of the U.S. taxpayer. Most of them were sent to America unaccompanied by adults, so our tax dollars could take care of them. But apparently, some kids are unhappy.
They are being made to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. What's worse, they're being made to say it in English!

“The department determined that there was a “heightened threat against DHS employees” in response to recent government actions surrounding immigration, according to a letter sent to employees over the weekend.
“This assessment is based on specific and credible threats that have been levied against certain DHS employees and a sharp increase in the overall number of general threats against DHS employees,” Claire Grady, acting deputy secretary of Homeland Security, wrote to employees on Saturday.
[…]Around two dozen threat reports were issued in the past few days, primarily against Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, according to the same official. Each of these reports is generally related to a specific online threat. All employees are personally contacted by DHS security if they are the target of a violent threat, the official said.
In one example, a senior DHS official living in the Washington. D.C. area found a burnt and decapitated animal on his front porch, according to an official with knowledge of the incident.”

"Most of us by now understand that the Mainstream Media are not in the business of the reporting of facts but rather in the shaping of public opinion.
Across America, 24 hours a day, the media enters our homes and lives not to inform us...... but rather to tell us how we should think.
Whether the issue is Global Warming, marriage equality or civil unrest in American cities...........coverage is less determined by the facts than by what networks and reporters believe the story should be.
Journalism has become a profession peopled by social activists masquerading as impartial reporters of facts.
This however is not a new phenomena............
In fact a study of papers and periodicals of the 18th and 19th century show wildly inflammatory and misleading opinion being presented as news.
The newspaper business of that day was a wild free for all, where anyone with the resources, could set up a newspaper or periodical and publish virtually anything that they liked.
Not much different from the internet of today.
However.....in the early part of the 20th century journalism took on the mantle of a profession. Reporters and the media were now accorded an increasing respect.
Schools of journalism were set up, guidelines and codes of conduct outlined and the media took up its self-appointed role as the "fourth estate, the gate-keeper of western democracy assuring Americans that truth was their highest ideal.
Walter Cronkite changed all that.
Touted as the "most trusted man in America" Cronkite's role as CBS's news anchorman took him into American living rooms nightly, to tell the families gathered there, the events of the day, signing off with the assurance "And that's the way it is".
The public trust in Walter Cronkite cannot be underestimated.
Which is why his betrayal of that trust and its ongoing consequences is so particularly egregious.
