VIDEO Live Stream of the Screech To Impeach protest in Miami, Florida at 1:00 PM in Miami, Florida on June 15, 2019. The Fort Lauderdale Screech to Impeach protest in downtown Fort Lauderdale on June 14 turned out to be pretty much a dud with no more than a dozen protestors showing up. All they did was screech at cars driving by. Hopefully the Miami Screech To Impeach protest will prove more interesting. It is supposed to last 4 hours but don't be surprised if it fizzles out long before then.

VIDEO A live stream of the June 14 Impeachment protest at the Federal Courthouse in Fort Lauderdale, Florida starting at 5 PM. Most of these impeachment rallies will take place the next day so this protest will give viewers a heads up on what is going to happen. Of course, Nancy Pelosi knows such an impeachment based on nothing would completely boomerang on the Democrats so these protests are just shouts in the dark but they could be FUnnie!

Bystanders started yelling at Allford to stop as she drove through the crowd, but she kept going toward where the band was playing and ran over the guitarist’s...

Implementing Occam's Razor: The so-called logic behind keeping and maintaining sanctuary city designations, in defiance of what Trump has been calling for - and his suppport for what Governor Ron Desantis (R) did in signing the bill banning sanctuary cities in the state of Florida - is that sanctuary cities allow law-abiding illegal aliens to report crime(s) committed by non law-abiding illegal aliens with out fear of reprisal. Problem is, illegal aliens (even if they somehow do commit less crimes on average than U.S. citizens do and the jury may be out on that on many crimes) still lead to...

Ron DeSantis signed a new bill into law Friday, banning sanctuary cities from forming in the state.Governor DeSantis fulfilled his campaign pledge to tackle the migrant crisis, marking a big win for ICE and the fight against illegal immigration.At a ceremony in the Okaloosa County Board of Commissioners alongside Florida GOP Rep.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Friday signed a controversial bill that prevents cities throughout the Sunshine State to declare themselves "sanctuary cities." Instead, the bill mandates cities and law enforcement personnel cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).“I am proud to sign the bill presented to me by the Florida Legislature to uphold the rule of law and ensure that no city or county jurisdiction can get in the way of Florida’s cooperation with our federal partners to enforce immigration law," DeSantis said in a statement on Friday. "This is about public safety, not about politics. We must do...

Shortly after the Civil War and the passage of the 14th Amendment, the US Supreme Court decided the Slaughter-House cases.  Historically, many people have looked at these decisions as severely limiting the ability of the federal government and federal courts from interfering with state government functions by using the Privileges and Immunities clause of the 14th Amendment.  Regardless of your position on that debate, this article looks at how the decision by Justice Miller in 1873 actually provides a strong precedent for using the Privileges and Immunities clause of the 14th Amendment against all sanctuary states, counties, and cities. Privileges...

Ron DeSantis signed a controversial measure on Friday that blocks localities from becoming sanctuary cities and mandates they cooperate with federal immigration enforcement. “I am proud to sign the bill presented to me by the Florida Legislature to uphold the rule of law and ensure that no city or county jurisdiction can get in the way of Florida’s cooperation with our federal partners to enforce immigration law," DeSantis said in a statement on Friday.

The California senator’s new immigration plan is a statement of her intent to govern through egregiously unconstitutional executive action. I’m going to let you in on a secret about the 2020 presidential contest: Unless unforeseen circumstances lead to a true wave election, the legislative stakes will be extremely low. The odds are heavily stacked against Democrats’ retaking the Senate, and that means that even if a Democrat wins the White House, there will be no Medicare for All, no free college, and no “democratic socialism.” Democratic candidates are racing to the legislative left for the sake of programs they’ll never...

Three years ago today, 49 men headed to a thriving gay nightclub in Orlando, unaware it was the last thing they would ever do. The next morning, our nation would be united in grief and horror at the 49 lives that would be taken that night in a carefully calculated plot by a follower of a demonic religion. That shooter, who carried out what at the time was the worst shooting in US history, thought that the death and carnage he created would bring glory to his false god. What he never counted on was the way God would work...
