Multiple professors at Washington State University have explicitly told students their grades will suffer if they use terms such as “illegal alien,” "male," and “female,” or if they fail to “defer” to non-white students. According to the syllabus for Selena Lester Breikss’ “Women & Popular Culture” class, students risk a failing grade if they use any common descriptors that Breikss considers “oppressive and hateful language.” The punishment for repeatedly using the banned words, Breikss warns, includes “but [is] not limited to removal from the class without attendance or participation points, failure of the assignment, and— in extreme cases— failure for...

Univision anchor Jorge Ramos was thrown out of a Donald Trump event on Tuesday when he tried to ask the GOP presidential candidate a question. Ramos, who recently accused Trump of “spreading hate” over his controversial remarks on immigration, was immediately removed from the early evening press conference by security in Iowa.

Now that Donald Trump is talking about ending birthright citizenship, other candidates who have never mentioned it before like Scott Walker are as well. But contrary to what the media would have you believe, the Constitution doesn't have to be amended to end birthright citizenship. All it would take would be an act of Congress. If an illegal alien has a child on American soil, the Constitution does not require the child be granted American citizenship. Congress can give citizenship to anyone it wants, but the Fourteenth Amendment only commands citizenship to persons born on U.S. soil to parents who...

Drug-resistant head lice are very likely coming to a school near you, U.S. investigators warn. At least 25 states host lice populations that don't respond to common over-the-counter treatments, a new analysis reveals. Permethrin, part of the pyrethroid class of insecticides, has long been the go-to weapon against head lice, mosquitoes, bedbugs and other insects. But continued exposure to permethrin has caused a huge swath of the dreaded insects to develop genetic mutations that render such drugs useless. "It's a very classic resistance story. ... Head lice, which can't jump or fly, transmit by direct physical contact. They quickly infest...

An illegal immigrant in Lee County, Florida, allegedly slaughtered three people and an unborn child in a shocking act of violence that left behind a crime scene that was “almost unimaginable,” police said. The suspect, Brian Omar Hyde, has been charged in the killings of Dorla Pitts, 37, her 17-year-old daughter Starlette Pitts and 19-year-old Michael Kelly, Jr., WBBH-TV reported. Police only said the victims were hit several times with some type of sharp object. Hyde reportedly crossed the southern border into the U.S. earlier this year. Police said he had blood on his clothes at the time of his...

Jerusalem fire in Lake County continues to increase As Cal Fire ramped up efforts Sunday night to fight Lake County’s newly raging Jerusalem fire, estimated at 5,000 acres and growing, sheriff’s deputies arrested a Lake County man suspected of starting a separate fire in the area in an attempt to protect his marijuana garden, sheriff’s officials said Monday. The Lake County Sheriff’s Office said Juan Ramos Silva, 51, of Lower Lake was arrested at about 6 p.m. Sunday. He’d told deputies and fire officials he’d been a firefighter years ago while living in Mexico and he’d wanted to set a...

Video at link, worth watching. A California lawman whose department is investigating the brutal rape and bludgeoning death of a 64-year-old Air Force veteran pointed the finger Friday at state and federal policies he said allowed the illegal immigrant suspect to roam the streets despite a lengthy arrest record. “I think this is a national issue - it starts with administration and their policies,” Santa Maria Police Chief Ralph Martin said days after Marilyn Pharis died from injuries suffered in the July 24 attack. “You can draw a direct line to this governor and Legislature. “I am not remiss to...

An illegal alien from Mexico, Juan Jimenez-Olivera, pled guilty on Wednesday to strangling 30-year-old Sviatlana Dranko in her home, stealing $6,000 from her, setting her body on fire, and lying to police about his crimes in April 2014. The two worked together in a pizza parlor; little did Dranko’s employer know, he or she would have blood on his or her hands for hiring an illegal alien in defiance of federal law. On April 29, New Jersey police and firefighters responding to a call found Dranko severely burned with a pillowcase pulled over her head. Investigators determined she had died...

"Razo admitted to being in the U.S. illegally and deputies called the U.S. Border Patrol, the report states, but the agency decided not to respond to take Razo into custody."

Even as exotic new diseases and nearly-eradicated old ones keep popping up across the nation, the Obama administration is unconcerned, or some would say, recklessly indifferent, to the public health threat that Third World illegal aliens pose to the American public. This isn't an observation from would-be GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump or some wild-eyed rube -- it's a devastating criticism that comes from two public health experts at the government's own Centers for Disease Control (CDC). It comes as deadly diseases surface or make a comeback in the U.S. Among those ailments are tuberculosis, pneumonia, paralysis-causing acute flaccid myelitis,...

Eric Gonzalez-Huerta might have been responsible for a fatal accident on Route 28 last year, but his conduct was not “directly and substantially linked” to the crime, an Allegheny County judge ruled Friday. Common Pleas Judge Beth A. Lazzara acquitted Gonzelez-Huerta, 23, of Louisville, Ky. of a third-degree felony charge of accident involving death or injury while not properly licensed, the most serious count he faced. Lazzara found him guilty of 22 summary counts, including driving without a license, operating a vehicle without insurance and operating a vehicle with unsafe equipment, for which the judge ordered him to pay mandatory...

When Jim Steinle went out for a walk with his daughter Kate Steinle on a San Francisco pier two weeks ago, he didn't expect to watch her die in his arms. But, that's exactly what happened when illegal alien Francisco Sanchez shot and killed her after racking up five deportations and a seven-felony record. Last night on The O'Reilly Factor both of Kate's parents, Jim Steinle and Liz Sullivan, spoke out exclusively for the first time about her preventable death. "She was not only beautiful but a very soulful person. A lot of depth, a lot of spirituality always from...

Seems to me Cities like San Fransisco, Denver, and every other liberal cesspool that supports the illegal aliens that break the law have in effect broken the federal laws, so when the hell is Obama gonna send in the Military to take these break away Cities and force them back into the Union like Obama Lincoln. Isn't it ironic that Denver (a Secessionist city) has a Mural of Obama as Abraham Lincoln in it that was put up around the time of his coronation in Denver in 2008... Hell the Libs in the Media always laugh and chide the Texans...

During a discussion on Thursday’s “The Kelly File” about the murder of Kate Steinle in San Francisco by an illegal alien, host Megyn Kelly asked left-leaning radio talk show host Richard Fowler why resident Obama has ignored the killing; after having spoken out on the deaths of Michael Brown, Freddie Gray and others. When Fowler wouldn’t answer the question, Kelly was all over him. She began by referring to the death of Brown: “His funeral saw three Obama officials in attendance,” she noted. “His death drew comments from resident Obama personally, and the administration sent in the DoJ and 40...

Senseless and preventable act of violence owned by an ideologically bankrupt Obama administration, corrupt San Francisco officials, and everyone else who would take the side of foreign criminals over Americans. On Monday, illegal alien Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, a 45-year-old repeat drug offender who had been deported five times, was charged with killing Kathryn Steinle, 32, at Pier 14 in the “sanctuary city” of San Francisco. The details surrounding this case are a testament to the multi-layered bankruptcy of progressive ideology. We begin with the contemptible notion of a sanctuary city itself. Despite the passage of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Responsibility...

San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimiis is defending his decision to release illegal alien, seven time felon and five time deported Francisco Sanchez onto the streets of his sanctuary city today after Sanchez shot and killed 33-year-old Kate Steinle while she was on a walk with her father last week.

By the time he can get out of prison, Mauricio Hernandez will be 77. The newborn daughter he left to drown in a portable toilet would have been 25. Hernandez will be eligible for parole in 23 years after he was sentenced Friday for the sexual assault of a teenager to whom he gave emergency contraceptive pills before she delivered his baby in the toilet. [Snip] Prosecutors portrayed the Irving man as a predator who killed the baby girl to save his own skin. But Hernandez’s attorney, Andy Beach, argued that Hernandez’s actions were an “aberration” — that he was...

The courts in New York have allowed an undocumented immigrant to practice law for the first time. Cesar Vargas, a leading voice in the immigrant rights movement, received the OK to practice his profession in a decision handed down Wednesday by a New York appeals court. "We find that the undocumented status of an individual applicant does not, alone, suggest that the applicant is not possessed of the qualities that enable attorneys to vigorously defend their client's interests within the bounds of the law," the ruling says, "nor does it suggest that the applicant cannot protect, as an officer of...
