  • Julian Castro Tells Victim of Identity Theft by Illegal Alien ‘Crime Happens’

    The 2020 Democratic field for president might as well make ‘laws are only for the common folk’ their campaign slogan. Julian Castro, questioned by a woman who said an illegal immigrant stole her Social Security Number, had the crime dismissed out of hand by the White House hopeful. “He was caught and released on his on recognizance, and never to be heard from again,” she explained during a Fox News town hall Thursday night. “Would you be willing to penalize offenders taking advantage of Americans by having them not released if they’re known to be illegal?” the woman asked. Castro’s...

    In case anyone has been missing the pearls of wisdom AOC manages to spit out with far more reliability than an oyster, here’s a couple of her recent jewel quality comments: AOC Sunday: Ocasio-Cortez told Karl that part of Bezos “being a billionaire is predicated on paying people starvation wages and stripping them of their ability to access health care” as well as “taking billions of dollars of government subsidies” from having many workers on food stamps. – ABC Amazon, as you might suspect, objected. .@AOC is just wrong. Amazon is a leader on pay at $15 min wage +...

    If you're tight on budget but still want to get a scope for under $100. The good news is that there are plenty of great options available for under $100. For under $100 is it worth looking for one? Its a good thing that the overall quality of the lens and magnification factors is about the same as those for higher end scopes. Usually higher-end scopes come with extra features, settings and customization options to justify their higher cost point. A lower end rifle scope quality of the lens and magnification factors will likely be about the same as the...

    Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Well, this is interesting. – Stuff is about to get real on the border, folks. Last night, President Donald Trump sent out these tweets, sending the fake news media into yet another round of hysteria: Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump · 10h Next week ICE will begin the process of removing the millions of illegal aliens who have illicitly found their way into the United States. They will be removed as fast as they come in. Mexico, using their strong immigration laws, is doing a very good job of stopping people....... Donald...

    It wasn’t twenty years ago today, as the Beatles once sang – only four, to be exact (though at times, it feels like two decades). And while Donald Trump isn’t Sgt. Pepper, he has succeeded in making American march to a different beat. It was four years ago on this date that Trump did the improbable – he descended down a Trump Tower escalator and leapt into a busy Republican primary field. Some of us who follow these things for a living refused to take him seriously at the time. That includes yours truly. I thought Trump was trying to...

    Attention banks! Do not give a mortgage to Simon Galperin! A guy named Simon Galperin just wrote this article, which is titled, “I’m a 29-Year-Old With $235k in Student Debt. I’ll Never Pay It Back.”Galperin’s statement that he will never pay back his student debt is not because of a medical issue that has rendered him unable to work.Instead, his statement is proof that he is irresponsible, lazy, spoiled, and entitled.He also says he believes that innocent taxpayers should be forced to pay off his student debt, so that he can then get a mortgage to buy a house.If Galperin ever...
  • Stopping China’s March To World Dominance

    06/17/2019 1:11:59 PM PDT · by Liberty7732 · 9 replies
    The Hong Kong demonstrations reveal that President Trump was right in many ways to identify China early on as a threat to the United States. He saw them as an economic threat and dishonest trading partner. To a lesser degree, he saw them as a military threat. He was right, although ultimately, their military — including space and cyber warfare — are probably the largest threat. To be clear, China is a bigger, long-term threat economically and militarily than anyone else, including Russia which has aging nukes but otherwise is a virtual third-world economy and a vastly weakened military. Modern...

    Mexican Federal police have discovered an enormous marijuana plantation just south of San Diego, 6 miles over the Mexican border in the state and El Centro, and set it on fire. Border Patrol officials out of San Diego, California, estimated the 70,000 pounds had a street value of $277 million and they believe they were produced to flood the U.S. market, Customs and Border Protection said in a statement issued late Friday.

The campaign plans to kick off the event at 10:00 a.m....

    CNN has found a replacement for the slimy and now-indicted porn star lawyer Michael Avenati, who represented stripper Stormy Daniels, suing and accusing Trump of criminal and impeachable activities such as misusing funds in a nondisclosure agreement he failed to honor, as well as defaming her. Avenati’s replacement as a “source with knowledge” of Tump’s alleged crimes against humanity it would appear is one Andrew McCabe, disgraced former FBI Director, fired for lying to investigators, with multiple criminal referrals aimed at him. Avenatti appeared on CNN to the high praise of the network poobah’s so many times that one could...

    Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 16 June 2019 | John Semmens
    In a bid to out-promise his rivals for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, former Vice-President Joe Biden has pledged to cure cancer if he is elected. As it so often happens when Biden gloms onto an idea it turns out not to be an original thought. It was in 1971 that the much reviled President Richard Nixon declared “war on cancer.” He even persuaded Congress to pass the National Cancer Act (P.L. 92–218). The government’s war on cancer is now nearing its 50th year. A recent development was the Obama Administration’s “Cancer Moonshot” initiative that Biden himself announced in early...

Lots of past conventional assumptions of the Obama-Clinton-Romney-Bush generation were as unquestioned as they were suspect. No longer.</p>

    I just found out that recycling hurts the environment even more than I had thought Ever since I read this 1996 New York Times article called “Recycling Is Garbage,” I’ve known that government recycling of plastic, paper, and glass wastes more resources than it saves, and that the environment would actually be better off if we put these things into landfills instead of recycling them.Over the next 1,000 years, all of the garbage in the entire United States could fit into one landfill that was 100 yards deep, on a piece of square land which was just 35 miles on each...

    Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the soul of the Democrat Party. She represents 50 years of indoctrination in colleges, which endangers the party because she has been fed a steady diet of ignorance. An ABC News interview today underscored her simplistic view of the world. AOC and her ilk want reparations. Now! AOC and her ilk want open borders. Now! AOC and her ilk want their student loans erased. Now! AOC and her ilk want gun confiscation. Now! AOC and her ilk want the end of coal, oil and gas. Now! AOC and her ilk want whatever they want, and they want...

    On the night before DeWayne Craddock murdered eleven people, Kate Nixon debated whether to take her pistol to work the following day. According to The Virginia-Pilot, Nixon feared Craddock. She was his supervisor at the Virginia Beach Municipal Center, and told her husband the disgruntled employee “gave off ‘real bad vibes’ and she’d had to write him up several times for issues with performance and attitude.”

    (Video at link) The “poor huddled masses” coming across the southern border may not be so poor after all. Swiss journalist Urs Gehriger recently visited African migrants who breached the border and hung out on the streets of San Antonio, Texas, waiting to go elsewhere in the country, and he met hostility from people who didn’t want to share details about their experiences, conflicted each other, and had rolls of $100 bills. In a recording played on Fox News, Gehriger asks a migrant from Congo how she got to America. She refused to say. “We are here now in the...

    What, no Google Doodle today? If ever a person deserved a Silicon Valley shout-out it’s Ruth Graves Wakefield, who was born on this day in 1903. Ruth was the inventor of the chocolate chip cookie which she originally made somewhat by accident when she ran out of bakers chocolate for a batch of cookies she was making and decided to put some chopped up semi-sweet chocolate in the batter instead. So you might say she also invented the chocolate chip. The rest, as they say, is history. It’s surprising that Google would bypass the opportunity to honor such an accomplished woman...

    Campus protests started in the 1960s, but protests on today’s college campuses have a different vibe. While protests in the past pitted students against university leadership, protests in the present are supported and accommodated by presidents and administrators. At the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, for example, college officials waste resources on political activism and social justice projects housed within the Campus Y, Chapel Hill’s “hub for social justice.” Although a substantial portion of its revenues come from gifts and the University Foundation, the Campus Y benefits from its status as an official part of the university as...
