Democrats Attack Trump For Enforcing Their Own Immigration Law | Stock News & Stock Market Analysis - IBD:

"In any case, the memos make clear that DHS still intends to prioritize their deportation efforts on illegals who are 1) criminals, 2) drug traffickers or 3) national security risks. Anyone want to object to that?

If Democrats don't like the 1965 law — which their party wrote and passed — they should try to convince the public that it needs to be changed, rather than mindlessly attack the president who tries to enforce its provisions."

Trump’s Immigration Enforcement Guidance: Deportation Warranted by Any Unlawful Behavior | National Review

Trump’s Immigration Enforcement Guidance: Deportation Warranted by Any Unlawful Behavior | National Review:

"In 2014, under the guise of setting out “immigration enforcement priorities,” Obama’s Department of Homeland Security established a three-tier system for deportation. This was quite advisedly done under the rubric of “prosecutorial discretion.” Federal agents were instructed to apply prosecutorial discretion as early in the evaluation process as possible, mindful of how sparse were resources to arrest, detain, and deport removable aliens.

The message was clear: "

Education secretary criticizes professors as telling students 'what to think'

Education secretary criticizes professors as telling students 'what to think'
"Professors tell students "what to say, and more ominously, what to think," new education secretary says in her first sustained criticism of higher education."
Education Secretary Betsy DeVos offered few details of her views on higher education during her confirmation hearings.
But on Thursday, in a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference, she sharply criticized faculty members and accused them trying to indoctrinate students.
She devoted only a paragraph to higher education in a relatively short speech, but she captured lots of attention.
Here's what she said, after asking how many in the audience were college students:
"The fight against the education establishment extends to you too.
 The faculty, from adjunct professors to deans, tell you what to do, what to say, and more ominously, what to think. 
They say that if you voted for Donald Trump, you’re a threat to the university community. 
But the real threat is silencing the First Amendment rights of people with whom you disagree."..."

Articles: How to Tell if News Is Really News

Articles: How to Tell if News Is Really News:
"Media approval ratings are at an all time low and the public is routinely confronted by what ultimately turns out to be ‘faux’ news. 
But this is not a surprise because we have been aware of this for some time. 
In fact, it all started with Watergate.  
Although I was in London in 1972 and never had a chance to vote against Richard Nixon, the Watergate scandal was all over the press in Europe so I didn’t miss a bit of the sordid details. 
For the first time ever, however, a major news story made a big deal of the reporters behind it. 
The media became the star and even had a major film applauding their work sinking Nixon. All the President’s Men was a film celebrating the two Washington Post reporters, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, who then became millionaire authors.

What worried me then about Watergate was the fact that the new powerful media was demanding that all government secrets should be revealed to the public. 
I felt this was unwise, and I still do.  
Since we were still in the middle of the war in Vietnam, such disclosures would be available to our enemy.  
We, the people, do not really want to know everything about the government as long as they are looking out for our security.
...BDS, or Bush derangement syndrome was in full bloom and now TDS or Trump derangement syndrome is fully behind the ‘fake news’ engulfing the mainstream media sources.  
If individuals only get their news from the mainstream media, they assume that the Trump administration is in disarray and chaotic. 
Trump supporters know that this focus on the negative is emanating from faux news reports. Recently, an article by John Nolte in the Daily Wire, listed how the MSM was caught telling 40 lies. How is the average American supposed to weed out the truth?  
Unless one has access to the Internet and certain new cable television stations one will be inundated with misinformation.
I routinely search sites like lucianne.com and the Drudge report to read the articles posted from all sources...(LOTS MORE HERE!)...
Wake up, America! 
You’re being had. 
Start asking the right questions. 
How did the Democrats come up with that 40,000,000 uninsured Americans to pass Obamacare?
When CNN’s Don Lemon asks his panel about how much the Trump family’s secret service is costing taxpayers, ask him where’s his research and why didn’t he question that about Michele Obama’s huge entourage when she traveled? 
We need to hold these sycophants masquerading as journalists’ feet to the fire.
We’re mad as hell and that’s why we voted for Trump."

Government can't get us off sugar: Glenn Reynolds

Government can't get us off sugar: Glenn Reynolds:
"Should food stamp programs allow people to buy sugary drinks and snacks with taxpayer money? That’s a question that a lot of people are debating, but it raises more questions of its own.
There seems to be little remaining doubt that sugar is bad for you.
I’ve been reading Gary Taubes’ new book, The Case Against Sugar, and he draws a compelling connection between the spread of sugary foods and drinks and the explosive growth of disease like diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
As Taubes notes, “When sugar and sugar-rich products spread around the globe, so did diabetes. . . .
...But what to do?
On the one hand, many would like the government to get involved with new regulation.
But — as Taubes’ history of government nutrition recommendations demonstrates — government involvement is part of the problem. 
Government policies promoting sugar, in no small part, got us into this mess.
Without the government’s recommendations to avoid dietary fat that led to increased sugar consumption, many Americans would probably be thinner, or at least less obese. 
And then there are the subsidies.
If the government doesn’t want to pay for sodas and cookies with food stamp dollars, that’s fine with me.
Taxpayer money should go for essentials, and there’s nothing essential about a Moon Pie washed down with an RC Cola, despite that combo’s popularity in my part of the world..."

French Voters Call On Obama To Run For President To "Give French People Hope"

French Voters Call On Obama To Run For President To "Give French People Hope" | Zero Hedge:
"As French voters look set to make a massive swing to the right in their upcoming presidential election (see our notes on the topic here and here), a group of frightened liberal protesters have decided to back a relatively surprising, if impossible, presidential candidate in 2017, Barack Obama. 

And, lest you thing this is a joke, a quick walk around Paris even reveals campaign posters for "Obama17" plastered all around the city..."

Poll: Majority Want Fewer Refugees, Support Donald Trump's Migration Cuts - Breitbart

Poll: Majority Want Fewer Refugees, Support Donald Trump's Migration Cuts - Breitbart:

"Another poll shows a majority of voters support President Donald Trump’s executive order curbing travelers from seven terror-exporting countries, and shows that a majority want fewer refugees imported into American communities overall.
Pollsters found that 51 percent of respondents want the U.S. to accept fewer refugees than the 100,000 per year President Barack Obama wanted to import. Trump’s new White House plan trims that number to 50,000 per year."

Donald Trump’s Immigration Position Is Popular Unless He Deports Law Abiding Residents

Donald Trump’s Immigration Position Is Popular Unless He Deports Law Abiding Residents | National Review:
"Navigating self-interest, ideals, and public opinion in the debate about illegal immigration.
Activists portray illegal immigration solely as a human story of the desperately poor from south of the border fleeing misery to start new, productive lives in the U.S. — despite exploitation and America’s nativist immigration laws.
But the truth is always more complex — and can reveal self-interested as well as idealistic parties.

• Employers have long sought to undercut the wages of the American underclass by preference for cheaper imported labor. 
• The upper-middle classes have developed aristocratic ideas of hiring inexpensive “help” to relieve them of domestic chores. 
• The Mexican government keeps taxes low on its elite in part by exporting, rather than helping, its own poor. It causes little worry that some $25 billion in remittances sent from Mexican citizens working in America puts hardship on those expatriates, who are often subsidized by generous U.S. social services...
• The Democratic party is also invested in illegal immigration, worried that its current agendas cannot win in the Electoral College without new constituents who appreciate liberal support for open borders and generous social services... 
• Immigration activists often fault the U.S. as historically racist and colonialist while insisting that millions of foreigners have an innate right to enter illegally and reside in such a supposedly dreadful place. 
• Undocumented immigrants themselves are not unaware that their own illegal entry, in self-interested fashion, crowds out legal immigrants who often wait years to enter the U.S. Increased demands on social services often affect Mexican-American communities the most grievously — a fact that explains why sizable numbers of Latinos support border enforcement. 

What does all this complexity mean for the Trump administration’s plans to return to the enforcement of existing immigration statutes?
There is one red line to Trump immigration policies that otherwise are widely supported.
Most Americans want the border enforced.
And, depending on how the question is worded, most voters likewise favor the completion of a wall on the southern border and an end to all illegal immigration.
There is little public support for sanctuary cities..."

U.S. troops found nearly 5,000 abandoned chemical weapons in Iraq from 2004 to 2011: report

U.S. troops found nearly 5,000 abandoned chemical weapons in Iraq from 2004 to 2011: report: "American troops found nearly 5,000 abandoned chemical weapons in Iraq from 2004 to 2011, but their discoveries were kept secret by the U.S. government, the New York Times reports.
According to the 10,000-word, eight-part interactive report ("The Secret Casualties of Iraq's Abandoned  Chemical Weapons") by C.J. Chivers published on the paper's website late Tuesday, at least 17 American service members and seven Iraqi police officers were exposed to nerve or mustard agents in Iraq after 2003.
On at least six occasions, American troops and American-trained Iraqi troops were wounded by the abandoned munitions, but news of the encounters was neither shared publicly nor widely circulated among the troops, the victims told the Times. 
Others said they were told to be vague or deceptive about what they found.
"'Nothing of significance’ is what I was ordered to say,” Jarrod Lampier, a retired Army major, said of the 2006 discovery of 2,400 nerve-agent rockets at a former Republican Guard compound, the largest chemical weapons discovery of the war..."

DELINGPOLE: NASA to Stop Shilling for Big Green, Restart Exploring Space...

DELINGPOLE: NASA to Stop Shilling for Big Green, Restart Exploring Space...:
"...Yes, as we predicted, NASA is going to be stripped of the two main roles it enjoyed under the Obama administration – Muslim outreach and green propaganda – and return to its original day (and night) job as an agency dedicated to space exploration.

The U.S. Senate passed legislation recently cutting funding for NASA’s global warming research.

The House is expected to pass the bill, and President Trump will likely sign it. Supporters say it “re-balances” NASA’s budget back toward space exploration and away from global warming and earth science research. Republicans plan to end the more than $2 billion NASA spends on its Earth Science Mission Directorate.

“By rebalancing, I’d like for more funds to go into space exploration; we’re not going to zero out earth sciences,” Texas Republican Rep. Lamar Smith, who chairs the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology, told E&E News. “I’d like for us to remember what our priorities are, and there are another dozen agencies that study earth science and climate change, and they can continue to do that.”

Before we shed too many tears for the plight of Gavin Schmidt and the rest of his global warming research team, though, let’s just pause to reflect on how much damage they have done to the cause of honest science over the years and what eye-wateringly vast quantities of our money they have wasted.

A good place to start is this excellent piece by Steve Goddard, entitled The Pause Is Real: NASA Temperatures Aren’t.

Here is the damning chart that says it all:

How did a supposedly respectable government agency get away with such blatant fraud?

Well, one answer is that it was encouraged to do so by the US government which paid its Earth Science research division $2 billion a year, while giving only $781.5 million and $826.7 million to its astrophysics and space technology divisions. Obama wanted “global warming” to be real and dangerous: and – lo! – thanks to the magic of his crack prestidigitators at NASA, NOAA and the rest, it was.

But the longer answer is that this is what happens when green ideologues are allowed to infiltrate and hijack government institutions..."

NAACP requires photo ID to attend anti voter ID protest march | Herman Cain

NAACP requires photo ID to attend anti voter ID protest march | Herman Cain:

"You would think that, at some point, we'd run out of "you can't make this stuff up" moments.

In 2011 Elon University conducted a poll which revealed that 75% of North Carolina residents supported a wide swath of new voter ID regulations that were, at the time, making their way through the legislature. With such broad support, the measures were a no-brainer.  They eventually passed and were signed into law last August.

Obviously these laws are extremely racist. Requiring minority voters to show ID to cast a ballot is, clearly, a way for old white men to oppress them. So, as usual, the NAACP has been foaming at the mouth as it continues its completely genuine, not-at-all-phony, struggle for "equality."

Each year the civil rights watchdogs hold a so-called "Moral March on Raleigh." The annual event is designed to protest any laws that Republicans may have passed during the preceding 12 months. This year’s march took place this weekend, and it focused extensively on the Voter ID regs.

So, what did you need if you wanted to attend?"
