    Former ICE Director Thomas Homan has his plate filled with Democrat rhetoric this week and he is EATING IT alive. A video shared by Caleb Hull on Twitter shows Democrat Representative Garcia asking Homan about the migrant children. Garcia suggests that Homan doesn't care about any of the migrant children because they don't look like the kids who are around him. In other words, Garcia is suggesting that race is an issue for Homan.Then Garcia sinks to a very new low, asking if Homan ever held a deceased child in his arms. Homan explodes at Garcia over the rhetoric. Not...
  • Lawsuit outs Ellen Ratner as source for Seth Rich information

    LawFlog ^ | July 15, 2019 | Ty Clevenger
    Fox News news analyst Ellen Ratner relayed information from Wikileaks founder Julian Assange to Texas businessman Ed Butowsky regarding Seth Rich’s role in transferring emails to Wikileaks, according to an amended lawsuit that I filed this morning on behalf of Mr. Butowsky. Although Ms. Ratner appears on Fox News, she is by no means a Republican or a conservative, and her role in the Seth Rich saga (like that of journalist Sy Hersh) obliterates the Democratic narrative that right-wing zealots fabricated the story about Mr. Rich leaking emails from the Democratic National Committee. Mr. Rich, a DNC employee, was murdered...

    VIDEO Perhaps horror novelist Stephen King should consider switching to writing comedy due to his completely laughable streeeeeeeetch of the truth in order to make absurd comparisons between the character of Greg Stillson from "The Dead Zone" to Donald Trump.

    Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 14 July 2019 | John Semmens
    Casting himself as the “anti-Trump,” Democratic presidential contender former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke sought to rally illegal immigrants to his side. “America was founded on white supremacy,” the candidate argued. “As a person who was born white I could’ve aligned myself with the oppressors and reaped the benefits of exploiting the weak. But I courageously converted to Latino as an adult so I could lead an army of oppressed brown people to victory over white tyranny.” O’Rourke pleaded with his audience to “send for more of your relatives and friends to come to America and join this army. Hundreds of...
  • "It Was Impossible"— The Starry-Eyed Dream that Launched Us to the Moon 50 Years Ago This Week

    07/15/2019 6:51:19 AM PDT · by Thistooshallpass9 · 20 replies
    50 years ago this summer, the U.S. landed men on the moon. We’ve all seen the grainy video footage of Neil Armstrong. We’ve heard the recording of his famous words about the “small step" and the "giant leap." And in our imaginations, this unbelievable achievement has essentially been distilled down to that. But this accomplishment was the result of a massive team of people laboring for a decade on an effort unlike anything that came before it. And it was driven largely by a desire to keep the world from being enslaved to a most dangerous ideology. In this episode,...

    This isn't about picking on the boss or someone you know. But literally don't go out and poke a wild bear. In a video shared on Facebook by The Hunting News, here's another guy that just wants to be friends with a wild bear. Yep, a wild bear. Gee I wonder whats going to happen. A word to the wise don't go looking for trouble. Doesn't matter if you've seen this bear a million times when you were out on your nature walk. Bears are wild. Give them plenty of room and never corner one for fun, especially a bear....

    We refuse to enforce our own immigration laws, because law makers don’t “see the point.”Antifa thugs are allowed to run amok, beating up people they disagree with, with little to no push police pushback.Manhattan shuts down on a Saturday night because, well, we don’t exactly know why. Maybe because power companies have done little to harden the grid against technological and terrorist attacks in the past 30 years. Maybe because most electric companies have done little to expand their real power capacity because they’re concentrating on “alternative energy sources” favored by our government overlords. Or maybe it’s because we’ve...

    James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal ^ | July 12, 2019 | Joshua Silverstein and Robert Steinbuch
    In March 2018, the University of Arkansas Board of Trustees adopted new rules that fatally undermine academic freedom. We authored this piece for the Martin Center explaining the damage the amendments would inflict on higher education in the state. Unfortunately, the Board of Trustees ignored our warning, a warning reiterated by numerous other faculty and academic organizations. So earlier this month, three of our colleagues filed a lawsuit that seeks to bar application of the revisions to faculty with tenure or who were on the tenure track at the time the changes were adopted. Should the lawsuit succeed, some of...

It was directed at "Progressive" Democrat women in the House..... A man armed with a rifle opened fire and threw incendiary devices at a privately run prison for illegal immigrants in Tacoma, Washington early Saturday morning....

    To the editor — Sadly we see other Northwest cities fall in line with the national trend of violent intimidation and personal bodily risk for regular citizens to engage in safe basic free speech. I hear people on the left preach for decades that they were champions of free speech. It appears to me that the only free speech they really are insisting on is theirs. Last week I was standing on the corner of River Road and 40th Avenue waving a Trump sign when a young woman stopped traffic to yell vile and vulgar comments at me. OK, I...

    Subtitle: Collapse the Rule of Law. Carl Sandburg (1878-1967), winner of two Pulitzers, gave an assessment on the demise of nations in world history: “When a nation goes down, or a society perishes, one condition may always be found; they forgot where they came from. They lost sight of what had brought them along.” On closer inspection we find the unmistakable sign of a failing republic, one that lost its vision, is the collapse of just law. Just law (law) protects life and property and is consistent with the Law of Nature. When government loses sight of the purpose of...

    MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin — While communities around the country brace themselves for immigration raids promised for this weekend by President Donald Trump, Latinx voters and immigration activists say they need to hear from Democrats that they oppose not just Trump’s immigration agenda but also the raids and deportations carried out under President Barack Obama. “I also want a country that’s safe and sovereign, but my husband wasn’t a criminal, he wasn’t a rapist, he wasn’t a drug dealer,” said Cecilia Garcia, 44, a US citizen whose husband was deported in 2012 after being pulled over for an expired license plate, despite...

    More than 70 people protested outside of an ICE Detention Center and nearby Amazon Fulfillment Facility in Elizabeth on Sunday amid planned raids targeting at least 2,000 immigrants nationwide. Sweat dripping down their brows in 90 degree temperatures, protestors held signs such as “Family’s belong together” and “No Tech 4 ICE." They called for Amazon to end its partnership with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and close any federal contracts supporting the Trump administration’s “anti-immigrant agenda," they said. One protester, who asked to be identified only his first name, Mario, said he knows what it’s like to be detained by...

    On Saturday limited protests by Yellow Vests but a call on social media for Sunday protest in the center of Paris during the Bastille Day festivities. Police were deployed in the thousand seizing Yellow Vests but protesters numbering in the hundreds were on hand to shout for the resignation of President Emmanuel Macron and deliver boos his way as Macron reviewed soldiers from a command car before their holiday march down the Champs-Elysees. It was after the parade that the protest picked up in tempo on the famed avenue in Paris. Metal barriers thrown down in the streets as protesters...

    This week, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) assailed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) by accusing her of racism. "At first, I gave her the benefit of the doubt and assumed that it was just an ideological difference," AOC said. "You know, moderates vs. progressives. I have since learned that there are no real ideological differences. The differences are racial. She is targeting newly-elected women of color. That's racist." "She is also trying to weigh us down with inane demands that we spend all our time on committees and stuff instead of spending our time on Twitter and interviews with the media...

    Politico ^ | 07/12/2019 | Sarah Ferris
    Top House Democrats are eyeing a major tweak to the caucus’ signature minimum wage proposal, part of a last-minute bid to bolster support among moderates just days before a floor vote. Democratic leaders are floating a more gradual path to a federal minimum wage of $15 per hour, which would mark a concession to some centrists who had been hesitant to back the bill for fear of aggravating small businesses, according to multiple sources familiar with the ongoing discussions. Under the proposal, employers would have six years to phase in the wage hike rather than five.
