Trump Hits Federal Reserve as ‘Most Difficult Problem’ Facing US

Decades of fiat currency and money manipulation backing U.S. into fiscal corner President Trump took aim at the Federal Reserve on Saturday, labeling it the “most difficult problem” the U.S. faces and again criticizing the independent central bank for raising interest rates.

“Strong jobs report, low inflation, and other countries around the world doing anything possible to take advantage of the United States, knowing that our Federal Reserve doesn’t have a clue!” Trump tweeted late Friday night. “They raised rates too soon, too often, & tightened, while others did just the opposite.

“As well as we are doing from the day after the great Election, when the Market shot right up, it could have been even better — massive additional wealth would have been created, & used very well,” he continued. “Our most difficult problem is not our competitors, it is the Federal Reserve!”

[Comment: Telling the truth is a good tactic. Should a globalist engineered financial collapse occur, then the blame may be attributed to where is belongs — privately owned banks — instead of upon Trump, nationalism, patriots, etc. ]

Antifa Defector: Zero Tolerance Needed During 2020 Election Cycle

A defector from Antifa says the time has come to protect Americans generally and college students in particular from the terror group. As well, the authorities must stop it from intimidating voters during the 2020 election.

Recounting his time as an Antifa goon in an op-ed for Fox News, Gabriel Nadales (shown) says that the recent attack on journalist Andy Ngo in Portland, Oregon, shows just how dangerous the group has become. Yet even college professors who should know better are defending its tactics, he writes.

The group apparently attacked the young journalist, who is an avowed homosexual, because he disproved claims that the city’s homosexuals had been targeted in a wave of hate crimes…

Nadales claims the attack on Ngo is a “re-run of what’s been taking place on college campuses, where similar attacks and intimidation have been happening for the past decade.”

And, just as the police did nothing to protect Ngo, so have they been filmed standing idle while Antifa thugs brutally attack their victims.

At the University of California Berkeley two years ago, police were told to stand down as Antifa set fires and burned down the community, causing over $100,000 in damage. At UC Berkeley, UT Austin, and many others, administrators have done little if anything to hold violent agitators accountable. The universities’ failures to act have only emboldened leftist activists who think they can get away with threatening and assaulting conservatives.

Heading into the 2020 election cycle, Nadales writes, the attack on Ngo “is only the beginning.”

Antifa Doofus Tries to Burn American Flag in DC, Gives Up When He Can’t Figure Out How to Light Matches (Video)

An Antifa protester in DC attempted to light the American flag on fire on Saturday, but gave up when they could not figure out how to use the matches.

The aggressive far-left demonstrators were in the city to whine about the Demand Free Speech rally being held by supporters of President Donald Trump who were protesting against Big Tech censorship. Speakers included Laura Loomer, Gavin McInnes and congressional candidate/YouTuber Joey Saldino.

Authorities Investigate Explosion at Florida Shopping Plaza

LANTATION, Fla. (AP) — Police and firefighters are investigating an explosion at a Florida shopping plaza that injured multiple people.

The explosion happened Saturday morning at a shopping center in Plantation, west of Fort Lauderdale in Broward County. The blast sent large pieces of debris about 100 yards (about 91 meters) across the street.

The Plantation fire and police departments said on Twitter that the street was closed to traffic. The fire department called it a gas explosion with “multiple patients.”

Big Tech and the Deep History of Free Speech

The speed at which many conservatives have unified in calling for a governmental response to Silicon Valley’s censorship may be surprising to some. After all, many of those calling for an intervention are the same ones who have spent their political lives preaching the gospel of laisse faire government. This seeming about-face is easily explained: the tech world’s frequent attempts to control the public dialogue have been so aggressive, so democratically unprecedented, so blatant, and so nakedly ideological, that conservatives recognize that the continued existence of open deliberation will likely depend on some regulation.

The purging of conservative Twitter accounts. Facebook’s algorithmic “tweaks,” designed to obscure and conceal news and ideas that challenge the narrative of the cultural left. Google’s routine manipulations of search results, aimed at ensuring that wrongthink and inconvenient events for progressives are shoved down the digital memory hole. When Project Veritas’ James O’Keefe recently released a shocking video that documents Google’s deliberate subversion of the electoral process in this country, Google went so far as to remove the video from YouTube. After all, Google owns YouTube. Their platform, their choice, right?

As James D. Miller argues in a recent Quillette essay, there are compelling reasons to restrict Big Tech’s viewpoint discrimination on economic grounds. But there is also ample evidence that we are dealing with a situation that is historically singular and uniquely threatening to the idea of democracy. Throughout western history, political philosophers have consistently reaffirmed the essential roles of free speech and open deliberation in democratic governance. Because democracy empowers “the people” — a class of non-experts — there is a myriad of competing ideas for how to best pursue the public good.

California Quake Storm: There Have Been 1,217 Earthquakes in the Ridgecrest Area Within the Last 24 Hours

What in the world is happening to southern California? Could it be possible that all of the shaking that we have seen over the past couple of days is leading up to something even bigger? I was curious, and so I went to the USGS website and I pulled up a map that is very tightly focused on the Ridgecrest area. According to that map, there have been 1,217 aftershocks in the Ridgecrest area in the last 24 hours. By the time you view the map, that number will inevitably have changed. Normally aftershocks begin to subside after a while, but right now they just keep hitting one after another. In fact, a rather sizable aftershock rattled Ridgecrest at the same moment when Ridgecrest Police Chief Jed McLaughlin was briefing reporters about the aftershocks…

In a Tuesday tweet, the Texas Republican said that people who were offended by the Betsy Ross flag might be better served in a place that would carve out safe spaces for those offended.

De Blasio: Free ‘3-K Education’ Should be ‘Universal Right’

Addressing the National Education Association’s presidential forum in Texas, the 2020 presidential candidate said the best time to reach a child “is between birth and five years old.”

Elimination of Alternative Media Could Spell Civil War in the United States

  • (Tea Party 247) — They Came For The Independent Media And Nobody Said Anything
  • Then They Came For The President And Nobody Said Anything
  • Then They Came For Our Guns And Nobody Said Anything
  • Then They Came For You And All Your Defenses Were Gone

This is the chilling warning being issued by Dave Hodges of CommonSenseShow.com, and it is a warning we should heed.

We are in the middle of the first stage of the complete takeover of our nation at the hands of the Deep State globalists, and most are unaware, he says.

Most people in this country fail to recognize where they are at with regard to history. The majority do not see that we are already in a state of rebellion, a civil war, if you will. However, most people if they heard these words would believe that it was the average American that will be involved in a civil war, and they would be wrong!

Today, the rebellion has to do with the Deep State and their followers who rebelling against the legitimate authority, namely, the US government and its people. It is the George Soros’ who are in a state of rebellion.

This rebellion will occur in three stages, and we are currently in the first stage. It is a war of words, he says, the total destruction of truth at the hands of a manipulative and censorial mainstream media complex.

Feds Say El Chapo Owes the US Government $12BILLION: Drug Kingpin Will be Forced to Hand Over His Wealth and Lavish Property as He Languishes in a Supermax Prison

Federal prosecutors are seeking a staggering $12.7 billion from convicted drug kingpin Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzman, the amount they believe his cartel made from drug sales in the US.

Filed by prosecutors on Friday, the motion state authorities are ‘entitled to forfeiture of all property that constitutes or is derived from the defendant’s narcotics-related crimes.’

Based on prices for drugs quoted by various witnesses, Guzman’s 25-year reign atop the murderous Sinaloa cartel netted sales of some $11.8 billion in cocaine, $846 million in marijuana and $11 million in heroin, authorities said.

Financier Jeffrey Epstein Arrested for Sex Trafficking of Minors

Jeffrey Epstein, a billionaire financier with Hollywood and political ties, has been arrested on charges of sex trafficking of minors in New York and Florida between 2002 and 2005, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. Epstein is scheduled to appear in a New York court on Monday.

When reached by THR, The New York Police Department declined to comment.

The arrest comes 11 years after Epstein, 66, was sentenced to 18 months jail time after he pled guilty to one charge of prostitute solicitation of minors. Later, his sentence was reduced to a 13 months, with one year of parole; while incarcerated, Epstein lived in the private wing of a county jail and was able to leave confinement for 12 hours a day to go to his office, a situation that raised eyebrows for legal analysts.

Five Police Officers Are Kicked Out of an Arizona Starbucks After a Customer Complained to Staff That She ‘Didn’t Feel Safe’ With Them Being Inside

A group of Arizona police officers were asked to leave a Starbucks coffee shop on July 4 after a customer complained to staff that she ‘didn’t feel safe’ with them being there, reports say.

Five cops from the Tempe Police Department were drinking at a branch of the coffee chain in the city when they were approached by a barista and told that a customer had made a complaint about their presence.

The worker is said to have told them to either move out of the complaining customer’s line of sight or leave the premises entirely, the Tempe Officers Association claimed in a series of tweets.

President of the union, Rob Ferraro, believes the treatment the officers were subjected to is an unfortunate sign of the times.

Nolte: Democrats Just Had Their Worst Week in 47 Years

Not since the 1972 discovery that George McGovern’s vice presidential pick, Thomas Eagleton, had been hospitalized and given electroshock treatments have the Democrats had a worse week than the one we just concluded.

Because Democrats live on social media and watch CNN, they don’t know this yet…

But they had a catastrophic week — hoo, boy, did they ever — a week that will haunt them straight through to November 2020.

Let us count the ways…

The Fake News Media Is the Only Shrinking Institution in America’s Booming Economy

Before 2019 is over, there will be upwards of 12,000 job cuts within the American media. That’s 12,000 fewer Democrat foot soldiers; 12,000 fewer propagandists, serial liars, cheerleaders, and toadies to hold Antifa’s jacket as they beat elderly Trump supporters to death with crowbars.

Every industry in Trump’s America is expanding and thriving … except for the media.

Residents on Edge After 7.1 Magnitude Earthquake Rocks Southern California; Second Major Quake in 24 Hours

Ridgecrest in Kern County was the epicenter of a 7.1 magnitude earthquake that rocked Southern California Friday evening, shaking the earth for 25 seconds. Experts from the U.S. Geological Survey said the quake that hit the area on Thursday was a “foreshock” that preceded Friday’s more powerful earthquake. At publishing time no fatalities had been reported, but emergency responders are reporting injuries, significant property damage, fires, and power outages across the area.

At 8:19 p.m. Pacific, the USGS recorded an earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 7.1 centered in Ridgecrest, about 150 miles north of Los Angeles, calling it the “mainshock” that came after the 6.4 magnitude Fourth of July quake. People across Southern California—and even as far away as Las Vegas and Mexico—felt tremors from the event.

Suspect Reportedly Tried to Kidnap 13-Year-Old Girl. But She Put Up One Heck of a Fight.

A 13-year-old New York girl reportedly gave the fight of her life after a male suspect apparently attempted to kidnap her in broad daylight.

What are the details?

The incident took place after school in Long Island on Tuesday.

According to WLNY-TV, police arrested the suspect —24-year-old Jarrod James of Roosevelt — after he reportedly tried to kidnap the girl as she was on her way home from school.

The unnamed teen — who had just wrapped up summer classes — said that she noticed the man following her after she left the school. As the young girl turned down a street, James reportedly began chasing the girl, grabbed her from behind, and covered her mouth with his hand.

Authorities say that the girl was able to break free from James’ grip, but he grabbed her a second time and attempted to drag her away. The station reported that the girl “fought back and ran into her house.”

The Haunting Last Words of Isaac Kappy: “Now, I Am One of Them”

Isaac Kappy — the actor who accused several Hollywood figures of child abuse — died after throwing himself off a bridge. A few days prior to this fateful day, Kappy posted a haunting video about him “crossing the line” and becoming “one of them”. What actually happened to Isaac Kappy?

Isaac Kappy was an actor who appeared in several Hollywood productions such as Thor, Terminator Salvation, and the series Breaking Bad. However, in the past years, he was mostly known for accusing several Hollywood personalities of pedophilia and satanic ritual abuse. Some of the names he named throughout his videos and social media posts are Tom Hanks, Steven Speilberg, James Gunn, Kathie Griffith, and Seth Green.

On May 14th, Kappy found a violent death after plunging from a bridge onto the Interstate 40 highway in Arizona. According to police sources, Kappy “forced himself” off the bridge after two teenagers physically attempted to stop him from doing so. After the fatal jump, Kappy was struck by a passing vehicle…

For years now, Tom Hanks has been creeping people out with bizarre pictures of random single gloves, shoes or boots found on the ground, combined with strange captions. Many of the comments on these pictures state that these pictures actually represent people who were killed or abducted by the occult elite.

About a month prior to Kappy’s death, Hanks (who was accused by Kappy of pedophilia) posted the above picture of a glove on Route 66 (Kappy died on Route 66) with the caption:

“Historic Route 66. Roadkill? I hope not! Hanx.”

Strange.

One thing is for sure, Kappy was convinced that he had a fateful (and fatal) run-in with the occult elite in the days prior to his death and that he irredeemably sold out. He was convinced that he betrayed his followers and was very aware that his days were numbered.

Farage: Britain Will ‘Shut Down Paris, Frankfurt’ If EU Plays Bully

Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage has said that if the European Union tries to force the City of London into regulatory alignment for financial services, the British can take the recent example of the Swiss, “undercut” the bloc, and, within a year, Paris and Frankfurt would be closed down as financial centres.

The European Commission froze Swiss stock exchanges out of the EU’s market this month; however, rather than forcing the non-EU nation into submitting to a new partnership treaty, Switzerland banned EU stock exchanges from trading its shares. As a result, EU traders were forced to use intermediaries, making trading with the country more expensive and slower.

The EU may attempt similar tactics if the United Kingdom finally leaves the bloc on October 31st in a clean, no-deal break, with the bloc insisting it will maintain its Single Market rules. Mr Farage believes Brussels will not be too aggressive, due to the strength of the City of London, the world’s second-most preeminent financial centre after New York City, and that the British could simply cut EU firms out of its markets like the Swiss.

German Priest Causes Church Walkout as Preaches for Predator Priest Forgiveness

The cleric said he wanted to tell parishioners about the biblically important meaning of forgiveness. He regretted that predator priests were labelled “criminals” but many of his congregation walked out of the church.

Retired priest Ulrich Zurkuhlen caused consternation in the city of Münster, northwest Germany, when he dedicated his sermon to the concept of forgiving priests who had sexually abused minors.

Zurkuhlen’s remarks come at a difficult time for the Roman Catholic Church, as it grapples with continued allegations, from various parts of the world, of priests’ predatory conduct and church attempts to cover it up.

In 2018, the German Bishops’ Conference published a report revealing that 1,670 priests, roughly 4.4% of clerics, had abused 3,677 people between 1946 and 2014 in Germany.

Italian Police Strike Against Elite Network That “Brainwashes and Sells Children”

Italian police arrested 18 individuals for allegedly brainwashing children into thinking that their parents abused them in order to sell them to “foster parents” (abusers). The network included the mayor of Bibbiano, doctors, psychotherapists, and social workers. According to Italian media, the transactions involving children amounted to hundreds of thousands of Euros. Furthermore, it was discovered that some of the foster parents were sexually abusing the children they bought.

The network used horrific techniques to brainwash children — all of which are used in Monarch Programming.

“To brainwash the children, those arrested allegedly forged child-like drawings with sexual connotations and used electroshock therapy as a “little memory machine” to create fake abuse memories, while the therapists are accused of dressing up as “wicked” children’s story characters.” — France24, Italy arrests 18 for allegedly brainwashing and selling children

After selling the children, the network stored the gifts and the letters sent to the children by their biological parents in a warehouse that was discovered by police.

Codenamed “Angels and Demons”, the investigation began in 2018 and revealed that the network operated under the pretenses of helping children in difficult situations by placing them in foster families. However, the scheme was essentially a front for child trafficking. An article in the Corriere della Sera newspaper explains how any excuse was used to remove children from their families in order to justify their abduction and brainwashing. Here’s a free translation:

“They removed them from their families using an emergency measure, supported by signs of suffering but almost never abuse. Any discomfort expressed by minors was enough to remove them from their parents. A pretext was enough, a simple suspicion, like the moans of a child while she was in the bathroom, would cause social workers to accuse parents of sexual abuse.”

The epicenter of the network was the public structure of the city of Bibbiano. Indeed, it was conducted by Cura di Bibbiano — the regional service that is supposed to actually help abused children. Among the masterminds are Claudio Foti and his wife Nadia Bolognini — “renowned” psychotherapists who are also the founders of the non-profit organization Hansel and Gretel. Other suspects include Fausto Nicolini, a lawyer and the general director of the Hospital of Reggio,

The mayor of Bibbiano Andrea Carletti is accused of covering the crimes of the various social workers and city employees involved in the schemes.

While the political sphere of Italy claims that the network was the product of “rogue elements” within the system, it is, in actuality, only the tip of an extremely disgusting iceberg.

Khan’s London: Bus Driver Crashes Into Depot After Smoking Crack

A London bus driver has been sentenced for crashing one of the city’s iconic red double-deckers into a depot after smoking crack cocaine, injuring several people.

62-year-old Anderson Worrell first smashed into the rear of a car carrying a one-year-old baby, then veered off-road into West Croydon bus station — a depot covered by a wrought-iron canopy which crashed through the top deck of the vehicle and injured several passengers.

“This collision would have been terrifying for all those on the 198 bus and could have resulted in injuries that were far more serious or even fatal,” prosecutor Andrew Ramsubhag told the court.

A 15-year-old schoolgirl had her lungs punctured, liver ruptured, and an arm broken by debris crashing through the front window of the bus, while a seven-year-old boy was knocked unconscious after being stuck in the head by broken glass.

All told, 12 people were injured, including four children and a pregnant woman.

Report: 81% of ‘Suspects’ Flagged by UK Police Facial Recognition Are Innocent

The report concludes that it is “highly possible” that the Met’s usage of the system would be found unlawful if challenged.

According to a recent report, approximately four out of five people identified by the London Metropolitan Police’s facial recognition system as possible suspects are totally innocent.

A recent report by Sky News has revealed that approximately four out of five people identified by the U.K.’s Metropolitan Police force’s as possible suspects are innocent. Researchers discovered that the system has an 81 percent inaccuracy rate which means that the vast majority of people flagged by the system are not on any wanted lists. The report states that this raises “significant concerns” about Scotland Yard’s use of the technology.

The report concludes that it is “highly possible” that the Met’s usage of the system would be found unlawful if challenged in court due to a number of technical, operational and legal issues. The Live Facial Recognition (LFR) system has been utilized since August 2016 by the Met to monitor crowds, testing the system first at Notting Hill Carnival.

Professor Pete Fussey and Dr. Daragh Murray studied the technologies accuracy rate at six of ten police trials, finding that of 42 individuals identified by the system only eight were verified to be correct. This gave the system an error rate of 81 percent. The Met has an alternative way of determining the error rate, measuring instead the number of successful and unsuccessful matches with the total number of faces processed by the system, given it an error rate of just 0.1 percent.

Swiss Set to Cut All Ties With EU if Brussels Hardline One-Size-Fits All Policy Enforced

SWITZERLAND could vote to have its own “Swissexit” from a raft of agreements with the EU next year if tensions aren’t resolved, senior union officials warned last night.

It follows the launching of a “trade war” by Brussels as it tries to force the Alpine country to accept EU laws. “The EU commission is playing a dangerous game which could bring a new crisis in the heart of one of the most dynamic economic areas the EU has,” warned Luca Cirigliano, Head of the International Department of the Swiss Trade Union Confederation, last night. Switzerland, which prides itself on its high wages and good working practices, voted by referendum not to join the EU, European Economic Area (EEA) or be subjected to European Court of Justice rule. In return for Freedom of Movement, Brussels agreed to a set of 70 bespoke deals. But EU companies pressured for change against a law which allows Switzerland an eight-day grace period before accepting a foreign worker to ensure domestic salaries aren’t being undercut. Though the Swiss Government agreed to a deal which would allow ECJ rule, it suffered the same fate as Theresa May’s Withdrawal Agreement when it was rejected by parliament and its federal cantons.

Tunisia Bans Niqab in Government Offices

Tunisia’s prime minister has banned the full-face veil in all government buildings due to security concerns. It comes after a deadly double suicide bombing in Tunis in late June.

Prime Minister Youssef Chahed has barred women from wearing the full-face veil — or niqab — after the latest suicide attack in the capital, Tunis, at the end of June left two dead and seven wounded.

Chahed signed a government circular “banning access to public administrations and institutions to anyone with their face covered,” his office said. The decision was made for “security reasons.”

On Tuesday, the mastermind of those bombings blew himself up in a Tunis suburb to evade capture, the Interior Ministry said. But it denies that he was wearing a niqab to disguise himself, which witnesses had claimed.

Reviewing Bukovsky: Part One

by Diana West

This is the opening installment in an occasional series.

I begin this review of Judgment in Moscow: Soviet Crimes and Western Complicity by Vladimir Bukovsky with a confession: I despair of doing justice to this monumental work.

Why? Judgment in Moscow is not a book only. Its very release is a historic event. Its top-secret contents were never supposed to see light of day. Its author is one of the great heroes who ever walked the earth. Such extraordinary attributes call for special treatment; however, that’s not even the end of the book’s special challenges. There is also the perplexing fact that the magnitude of this publication will not be readily evident to most “younger” readers — say, people under the age of 60. This means that the written equivalent of a crisp, sustained drum roll is not only insufficient by way of introduction, but as the curtain rises, most people are not going to recognize what it is that appears in the spotlight.

The reason for this mass myopia is almost literally atmospheric. There is an all-enveloping “narrative” of our nation’s life and times that most Americans breathe in, internalize, and breathe out again. The resulting miasma hides facts, beclouds perspective, dulls thought, chokes dissent. Judgment in Moscow comes along, throws a lit match, and the whole thing explodes.

Hallelujah.

Of course, the rubble the book leaves behind is difficult for most people to understand, too…

Presence of Muslims in Defense or Police in Non-Muslim Countries May be Highly Dangerous

Upananda Brahmachari | HENB | Haridwar | July 6, 2019:: Few days ago Jihadi Muslims vandalized an old and traditional Hindu Temple at Lal Kuan near Chawri Bazar+, out of a trifling issue like bike parking in front a house, which turned as a communal violence at once on 30th June Night+.

Hundred of local and outsider Muslims attacked on a minority Hindu pocket encircled by Muslim majority and destroyed the Hindu houses and properties including the 100 yrs old Gali Durga Mata Temple of Houz Quazi area of Chandni Chowk. Since then a 17 yrs old boy named Keshab was missing and his parents feared that he could be murdered after the Jihadi abduction during the chaos was going on. But, the missing boy Keshab returned home 72 hrs after held captive by Muslims+.

The video of the incident of attacking Hindu temple by Jihadi mob while shouting ‘Naraye Takbeer Allha ho Akbar’, went viral in social media.

On one such post, a Muslim man named Yousuf Ali derogatorily commented against Hindus. In his facebook timeline Yousuf wrote: “Sale, abhi murtiya tore hai ab tomare muh v torega….. Namardo sale” (Now the Hindu idols are being destroyed. We will destroy your faces also. You impotent bitch).

Gun Control Fail: Mexico Homicides Nearly Three Times Higher Than U.S.

Mexico has one gun store, stringent gun controls, and nearly three times the number of homicides witnessed in the U.S.

The Sun reports that there have been 94 homicides a day, on average, in Mexico during 2019. In the U.S., there are approximately 90 firearm-related deaths a day, on average, but only one-third of those are homicides. This means while heavily gun-controlled Mexico is seeing 94 homicides a day, the U.S. is seeing 30 to 40. And U.S. firearm homicides are largely driven by gun violence in heavily gun-controlled, Democrat-run cities.

On May 24, 2018, the Los Angeles Times noted that Mexico only has one gun store. The store is called the “Directorate of Arms and Munitions Sales,” and Mexican citizens who wish to enter must pass a background check, which includes various stages of documentation.

CBS News reports that the background check process requires six documents:

A birth certificate, a letter confirming employment, proof of a clean criminal record from the attorney general’s office in the applicant’s home state, a utility bill with current address, a copy of a government-issued ID and a federal social security number.

On August 17, 2016, Breitbart News reported that Mexico had a homicide rate over five times that in the U.S.

Democrats Now Actively Assisting Illegal Immigration, Campaign in Mexico

Democrats Now Actively Assisting Illegal Immigration, Campaign In Mexico. Cory Booker accompanied illegal immigrants into the US recently. The story is a bit complicated, the women had previously been sent back to Mexico under the Migration Protection Policy and according to the Washington Examiner were seeking to bypass the law to gain entry to the US.

In what I would call an odd PR stunt Booker provided political and PR protection for the migrants as they entered the US.

Oddly, Beto O’Rourke was also campaigning in Mexico. He traveled there to meet asylum seekers recently.

Outside of Democrats campaigning in Mexico other odd instances are Democrats advising illegal immigrants on how to avoid federal authorities or in one instance a Judge being indicted for aiding in the escape of several illegal immigrants. The far left posturing will likely ensure Trumps landslide victory in 2020 as the New York Times says that this rhetoric is “making Americans feel like strangers in their own country”

Ocasio-Cortez for instance is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America who routinely advocate for open borders. It seems now that the rest of the Democrats are falling in line and tacitly agreeing with loose open borders policy.

Germany Urges Italy to Open Up Ports to Migrant Rescue Ships

German Interior Minster Horst Seehofer has urged his Italian counterpart Matteo Salvini to open ports to boats carrying rescued migrants. Meanwhile, a second rescue boat landed without permission in port at Lampedusa.

German Interior Minister Horst Seehofer implored his opposite number in Italy to reopen the country’s ports to rescue vessels carrying migrants.

In a letter to Italy’s far-right Interior Minister Mario Salvini, Seehofer said the situation as it stood — with boats often at sea for weeks before they are allowed to dock — was untenable.

Since Italy elected a populist coalition to power in 2018, Salvini has effectively closed the country’s ports to rescue ships, meaning boats have had to stay at sea for extended periods.

The Latest: Spain Rescues 300 Migrants; 3 Were on a Kayak

MILAN (AP) — The Latest on migration into Europe (all times local):

Spain’s Maritime Rescue Service says that nearly 300 African migrants have been rescued in two days trying to reach Europe’s southernmost shores, including three men who had spent the night at sea on a kayak.

Nearly 100 migrants from the kayak and two boats were taken to the southern Spanish port of Algeciras, a spokesman from the service who wasn’t authorized to be quoted by name told The Associated Press.

A third boat with water leaks was carrying 56 Africans, including 13 women, and was rescued Saturday afternoon by a Civil Guard patrol boat in waters further east into the Mediterranean, the spokesman said.

Trump’s Response to Condition of Migrant Detention Centers: ‘Tell Them Not to Come’

“I think they do a great job with those facilities, but you know how it can be taken care of? Number one: Tell them not to come because it’s illegal.”

President Donald Trump suggested the best solution for poor quality migrant detention centers is to tell would-be immigrants not to illegally cross the border.

“I think they do a great job with those facilities, but you know how it can be taken care of? Number one: Tell them not to come because it’s illegal,” the president said Friday when a reporter asked about a report from the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General that found migrant detention centers to be overcrowded and unclean.

The president said it’s not fair for a legal immigrant to wait “seven or eight” years for citizenship while an illegal alien is able to “walk in” and be allowed to remain in the U.S. He then said “thousands and thousands” of illegal migrants would soon be deported — and that the process has already begun.

“Amnesties do not work, as Spain and Italy have proved.”

Declaring Independence From the Enemy Within

Have you ever had someone lie to your face, and pretend they were telling the absolute truth?

Have you ever had someone at work shift blame to you or someone else in order to not get into trouble, and for which they should have taken responsibility?

Have you ever witnessed someone being accused of wrongdoing unfairly because of personal jealousy or resentment against the accused person?

Americans often see or witness these types of actions on a regular basis…

So, if you have ever been offended by someone lying to you and pretending they were telling the absolute truth, there is now a cancerous criminal cabal in our nation that has no qualms with doing it on a regular basis. It may have been one of the infamous dictators in the 20th century that said, “if you repeat a lie often enough, it will ultimately be accepted as the truth. But, this is the current mode of operation of the criminal political cabal.

If you get upset when someone shifts blame in order to not get into trouble, and in the aftermath of something they should have taken responsibility, note that operatives of the criminal political cabal have been discovered in the Deep State attempting to overthrow a legitimate election. Not only this has been discovered via documented evidence, but the criminals are still walking about freely as if they did nothing wrong. Not only this is happening, but the coverup is continuing to this day. The criminals are shifting the blame to the current Administration, the ones who are in the Justice Department who remain true to the rule of law, and to the general public who value the rule of law in a civil society.

UK: Student Expelled From University for Quoting Bible

The Court of Appeal in the United Kingdom has issued a landmark victory for a Christian student who was expelled from Sheffield University for citing the Bible’s view of sexuality and marriage in social media conversations.

The university learned of Felix Ngole’s social media posts through an anonymous complaint.

The new court ruling reversing the punishment is a “statement of the law likely to be relied upon in hundreds of cases,” according to the U.K. activist group Christian Concern.

The decision affirmed the rights of British Christians “to freely express their faith,” the group said.

Calling it a “major development of the law,” Christian Concern said it’s “now clear that Christians have the legal right to express Biblical views on social media and elsewhere in public without fear for their professional careers.”

“This is the first Court of Appeal judgment regarding freedom of expression of biblical views which sets limits on the rights of professional regulators to limit free speech on social media,” the group said.

Ngole was expelled in 2016 from his social-work studies at Sheffield University after quoting Bible verses on Facebook that were deemed critical of homosexuality, the organization said.

    1) Long-term, I think that we’ll either see mass civil disobedience, or the complete disappearance of freedom in the UK.

    2) The authorities are scared of making “trouble” in Muslim areas.

    I wonder how they would react if THOUSANDS of Tommy supporters decided to GUARD him against arrest, on a mass “COME AND ARREST US ALL IF YOU DARE!” concept?

    Sounds extreme? When the rule of law breaks down, it’s the next step that people will come up with. This isn’t a suggestion – it’s an observation.

    • Why not enough arrested to be in jail with Tommy R, so that they can have their own wing in a prison?
      Could even be done by a roster? 🙂
