After Cali Passes Sanctuary Law, Trump’s Feds Hit Illegals With Dose of Reality

Illegal immigrants in California shouldn’t get too comfortable. Despite the “sanctuary state” law signed by Gov. Jerry Brown last week, Immigration and Customs Enforcement will still be enforcing federal immigration laws in the Golden State.

The sanctuary law forbids authorities from asking people about their legal status and prevents California law enforcement from cooperating with federal officials on immigration, according to the Los Angeles Times.

ICE Acting Director Thomas Homan said the new law, which takes effect Jan. 1, does not prevent his agency from operating in the state, although it does make those operations a little more difficult.

“Ultimately, SB54 helps shield removable aliens from immigration enforcement and creates another magnet for more illegal immigration, all at the expense of the safety and security of the very people it purports to protect,” Homan said in a statement on the ICE website.

In a statement after signing the law, Brown acknowledged that the sanctuary measure would not prevent ICE from conducting operations in California.

“They are free to use their own considerable resources to enforce federal immigration law in California,” Brown wrote, according to The Associated Press.

The governor went on to argue that the law would “protect public safety” and bring a “measure of comfort” to families living in fear.

Apparently, law-abiding American citizens who are understandably fearful of criminals — particularly those with little to no documentation — are not a priority to the governor or California lawmakers.

Arguing that protecting criminals somehow makes the public “safer” isn’t just a liberal fairy tale; it’s contrary to the most basic of common sense.

When will families, such as Kate Steinle’s, be given a “measure of comfort” by these liberals?

Fortunately, this isn’t the Obama era, when the federal government ignored blatant violations of federal law for the sake of illegal immigrants — and future Democrat voters. ICE officials will still be working to protect Americans from those who break our laws, despite California’s resistance to their efforts.

“Despite the severe challenges that this law creates for ICE, we remain committed to our public safety mission and we will continue to do our sworn duty to seek out dangerous criminal aliens and other immigration violators,” Homan said.

REPORT: Bill Clinton Hated Hillary’s New Book, Threw It In Garbage

Hillary Clinton didn’t lose the 2016 election. Everyone else lost it for her.

So far she’s blamed: FBI director James Comey, Russia, computer bots, Wikileaks, Bernie Sanders, Facebook, Joe Biden, fake news, Twitter, voter ID laws, the vast right-wing conspiracy, sexism, Barack Obama, ageism, Anthony Weiner, white women, xenophobia, black people, the electoral college, the DNC, misogyny, women cowed by their husbands — even former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

The two-time loser is now on a tour selling her new book “What Happened” (as if she needs more money). She’s wandering the country and, for some reason, Canada, telling a few hundred people at a time that the world conspired against her when she got absolutely pummeled by Donald Trump in the presidential race.

Now, Edward Klein, an author who has written several books about the Clintons, reports that Bill Clinton tried to dissuade Hillary on her blame-filled book, the New York Post reports. Klein’s got a new book, “All Out War: The Plot to Destroy Trump,” coming out Oct. 30 and he’s got some tasty nuggets in there.

“Before Hillary sent the manuscript to her publisher, she gave it to Bill to read, and he made major changes with a red pencil,” said a close Clinton family friend. “But she refused to even read his corrections, and he got so furious that he tossed the entire manuscript into the garbage.

“He told her the book made her look bewildered, angry and confused, and that those were poor qualities in a person who aspired to be a world leader,” the friend continued.

“He hated the title because calling it ‘What Happened’ would only make people say, ‘You lost.’ He urged her to postpone the pub date and rewrite the book, but she yelled at him and said, ‘The book is finished and that’s how it’s going to be published.’ ”

Klein also writes that Bill told Hillary just a month before the election that she was losing, urging her to campaign in Rust Belt states like Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania — all of which she lost to Trump.

“She told him he was delusional,” Klein writes.

We’ve often thought the same thing, but in this case, Bubba was spot on.

New Details In Las Vegas Shooting Change Timeline Of Events, Raise Questions

Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo announced on Monday a major change in the timeline of events on the night of the Las Vegas shooting that raises serious questions.

Lombardo said during the press conference that security guard Jesus Campos, who was the first on scene and who gunman Stephen Paddock shot in the leg, was shot six-minutes before Paddock fired on the country music concert killing 58 and injuring over 400.

Now the official timeline is that Paddock shot Campos at 9:59 p.m.; whereas last week officials said that Campos told police that Paddock shot him at 10:18 p.m., approximately three minutes after the shooting ended, The New York Times reported.

WATCH:

VIDEO

Authorities also said last week that Paddock fired well over 200 shots at Campos and that Campos was lucky to be alive.

This new information begs the obvious question: How were 200-plus shots fired 6 minutes before the massacre and authorities couldn’t respond in time?

Las Vegas is known for its casinos and resorts which feature high-end security measures – primarily surveillance cameras – throughout the properties. Anyone who has ever visited Las Vegas also knows that police are all over the Vegas strip.

For perspective, it is important to remember that Paddock was firing an AR-15, a semi-automatic rifle that creates a noise level of approximately 167 dBA. That is a noise level so high the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) doesn’t even list it in their chart comparison of decibel levels. A decibel level that high is comparable to a space shuttle launch from the perimeter of the launch pad.

In short, AR-15s are extremely loud, so why did it take two-law enforcement officers approximately 19-minutes to get to the 32nd floor? It took another 10 minutes before back-up arrived; Paddock’s room wasn’t even breached for nearly another hour.

Fox News Op-Ed: “The Democrats’ IT Scandal Just Got Even More Bizarre”

Fox News Op-Ed: “The Democrats’ IT Scandal Just Got Even More Bizarre”

October 10, 2017
by Joshua Caplan

A new report by Luke Rosiak of the Daily Caller reveals Imran Awan, a former DNC IT aide, feels very strongly,’ that his ‘attorney client privilege,’ be respected in connection to a laptop with the username ‘RepDWS.’ 

The Daily Caller reports:

Lawyers for Imran Awan, an ex-aide who ran information technology (IT) for Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, “feel very strongly” that a laptop with the username “RepDWS” should not be valid as evidence because he put a note that said “attorney client privilege” near it before leaving it in a phone booth on Capitol Hill, they said in federal court Friday.

Prosecutors revealed that when they arrested Imran at the airport in July as he tried to board a flight to Pakistan, he was carrying a resume with an alias in the Jackson Heights, Queens neighborhood of New York City. Imran may have planned to “relocate” there, seemingly under a different identity, Prosecutors suggested. They said he had wiped his cell phone hours before the arrest, suggesting that he was taking “active measures” to hide evidence.

Hina Alvi, Imran’s wife, was arraigned on four felony counts of bank fraud. Wasserman Schultz of Florida added Alvi to her payroll after the couple was already the focus of a criminal investigation into misconduct on Capitol Hill.

Click here to read the rest of Luke Rosiak’s report.

With each passing day, we learn more and more about the dark and murky past of Pakistani IT staffer Imran Awan. The former employee of Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz is accused of stealing hardware from ranking Democrats and sending sensitive intel to foreign groups like the Muslim Brotherhood. A new reports says Awan was “sending money and gifts to government officials in Pakistan and received protection from the Pakistani police, multiple relatives claim.”

Now we learn Awan wiped his phone clean just hours before he was arrested.

Zerohedge reports:

Gowen tried to counter this by telling the judge: “Awan had recently bought the phone, so of course it didn’t have any data on it.”

But Mirando countered by saying the FBI found that the phone had been wiped on purpose. A time stamp on the iPhone indicated it had been wiped at 6:30 p.m. that evening (Awan was arrested around 10 p.m.). Awan also had a laptop on him, but one of the few things on the computer was a resume. Mirando used this and other details—such as that the Awan’s quickly sold many of their Virginia properties—to explain that Imran had no intention of returning.

The iPhone Awan was carrying has a feature built in that allows someone to wipe it before they sell it. Investigators were nevertheless able to determine when it was wiped because the phone created a “.obliterated” file with a time stamp.

There are some cases where an iPhone won’t create a .obliterated file that can be easily found, but there are other techniques used by investigators to uncover and see when an iPhone was wiped.

Click here to read the whole report.

According to Fox News’ Frank Miniter, the DNC IT scandal is getting more bizarre by the day.

From Fox News:

In another twist, Gowen brought up a computer that Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz wants back so badly she actually threatened the chief of the Capitol Police in a public hearing with “consequences” if she didn’t get it back.

[…]

Gowen, however, didn’t answer what Imran was doing in the Longworth congressional building late at night and long after he’d been fired by every Democrat aside from Rep. Wasserman Schultz (Wasserman Schultz’s office isn’t in Longworth).

The deeper you dig the more it becomes clear this case is about much more than bank fraud. Capitol Police are investigating possible theft of congressional computer equipment, massive amounts of data moved off the congressional system, alleged fake computer data created to throw investigators off the trail, and data mined by the Awans that could include emails from many members of Congress and more.

Rep. Wasserman Schultz, who lost her post at the DNC when Wikileaks published emails showing that under her leadership the DNC worked to sabotage Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign, might be exposed to even more revelations.

Meanwhile, Congress has been asked to open an ethics investigation to answer why Rep. Wasserman Schultz kept Imran on her payroll even after the Capitol Police investigation became known.

WOW! James O’Keefe Reveals to POTUS Trump That He Has Undercover Tapes of the NYT

Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe took to Twitter last Wednesday to tease a ‘groundbreaking video’ from an undercover operation that exposes the ‘holy grail’ of the mainstream media — slated for release this week. The video is part of Project Veritas’ “#AmericanPravda” series.

“NEXT WEEK: Our next groundbreaking  video targets the holy grail of the MSM. Undercover ops still in the field…Stay tuned,” teased O’Keefe.

In a video announcement released recently, Project Veritas founder and guerrilla journalist James O’Keefe warned his organization is currently operating one of the biggest ever investigations into the mainstream media’s ‘holy grail,’ promising media people will likely lose their jobs over the imminent exposé.

JAMES O’KEEFE: “In the coming weeks, you’re gonna see one of the biggest investigations this organization has ever done. It’s a continuation of American Pravda series. It’s aimed at the media. We’re going after their holy grail. We have tripled our journalists in the field. They are not even here, they are out there everyday. It’s gonna be big, it’s gonna be massive. If they think they can shut us down with this crap [lawsuit] they’re sorely mistaken. Because not only are people in the media probably going to lose their jobs and be exposed for what they are, but this [lawsuit] is going to be exposed for what it is. So stay tuned ladies and gentleman. Fireworks are coming,” 

O’Keefe, recently exposed numerous CNN staffers admitting they don’t believe the ‘Russian interference’ narrative the network has pushed since Donald Trump became President.

Many have been wondering which mainstream media outlet will be next on O’Keefe’s hit list. In a recent tweet, the Project Veritas head teased the New York Times is next!

President Trump asked his followers today “How much longer will the failing NY Times, with its big losses and massive unfunded liability (and non-existent sources), remain in business?”

O’Keefe replied “Stay tuned..”

Now this…

In a stunning admission on Tuesday, Project Veritas head James O’Keefe tweeted to President Trump that he recorded the New York Times.

“The Failing @nytimes set Liddle’ Bob Corker up by recording his conversation. Was made to sound a fool, and that’s what I am dealing with!,” Tweeted President Trump.

“Don’t worry, @realDonaldTrump, we recorded the @nytimes…,” replied O’Keefe.

Watch: Marine Grabs Mic, Leaves Pelosi Stammering

Advertisement – story continues below

In the aftermath of the horrific Las Vegas massacre last week, Democrats have steadily begun the beat the drums of gun control once again, claiming that any number of pieces of legislation could have stopped this tragedy from occurring.

During a town hall debate hosted by CNN on Wednesday, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi fielded questions on gun control. During the program, a former Marine stepped up and asked a question that appeared to simply break Pelosi.

“My question is … what new law can we put out there that would stop something like this?” asked retired Marine Capt. Dan Hinkson, who now owns a gun store in Virginia.

Advertisement – story continues below

“That is to have background checks, gun violence prevention, background checks, and to have them be effective,” Pelosi stated, apparently unaware that background checks are already being conducted.

Hinkson noted from the audience that “they all get checked,” after Pelosi stated that she was “sure” the people he sold guns to wouldn’t mind having a background check conducted.

“They all get checked. They all get checked. They all get checked. But there are loopholes,” she said, repeating herself like a broken record.

Pelosi then began stammering on about closing gun show loopholes and expanding background checks — the usual liberal talking points that have no basis in reality.

Probably recognizing just how nonsensical Pelosi’s answer sounded, CNN host Chris Coumo decided to answer for her, introducing bump stocks into the conversation. It didn’t help Pelosi sound any more sensible.

“Well, that is something that we should do right away,” she said about passing legislation to ban bump stocks, which can make a semi-automatic weapon fire like an automatic weapon. Pelosi even tried adding the word “bipartisan” to try to make her answer seem more appealing.

“People were not aware of the bump stock or the bump fire stock, whatever, people call it one thing or another,” she said, vomiting out a jumble of words.

Why is it that Democrats can never seem to actually understand the things they want to ban? If you’re planning to make an argument about banning something, you really should know what you are talking about.

Pelosi really is well past her prime. She can’t even hold a town hall on gun control, an issue she has been crowing about for years, without sounding like a machine that is broken.

Maybe it is time for her to step aside and let people who are capable of forming complete sentences continue this debate.

Share this on Facebook and Twitter and let us know if you think any sort of gun legislation should be passed in the aftermath of Las Vegas.

MSM: Christian Prayers Along Polish Border a ‘Problematic Expression of Islamophobia’

MSM: Christian Prayers Along Polish Border a ‘Problematic Expression of Islamophobia’

Reporting on the extraordinary turnout for the “Rosary on the Borders” prayer campaign in Poland, the Associated Press (AP) suggested that the event smacked of “a problematic expression of Islamophobia.”

On-the-ground sources said that over a million Poles turned out Saturday to pray the rosary along the country’s 2,000-mile border for the salvation of their country.

According to the spokesman for the Polish Bishops’ Conference, Father Pawel Rytel-Andrianik, the event drew “millions of people” to pray the rosary together and was the second-largest prayer event ever held in Europe, after the 2016 World Youth Day.

“This exceeded the boldest expectations of the organizers,” he said.

Organizers scheduled the event for Oct.7, the Feast of the Holy Rosary, which commemorates the anniversary of the Battle of Lepanto, where “the Christian fleet overcame the Muslim armada, saving Europe from Islamization.”

The feast day, originally called “Our Lady of Victory,” was established by Pope Pius V in 1571 after the so-called Holy League won a landmark victory over the invading Ottoman Turks at the Battle of Lepanto. At the time, much of Europe was under siege from the Islamic forces, which sought to win the entire continent for Allah.

The AP warned that Saturday’s national event, which was endorsed by Polish church authorities, had “anti-Muslim overtones.”

Citing an “expert on xenophobia,” the AP said that the border prayer event “reinforces the ethno-religious, xenophobic model of national identity,” and represents a “problematic expression of Islamophobia” in the country.

The AP wasn’t the only mainstream media outlet to take issue with the overtly Christian commemoration, which was openly supported by Poland’s prime minister, Beata Szydło.

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) called the rosary prayer “controversial,” suggesting that the event could be seen “as support for the government’s refusal to accept Muslim migrants.”

Drawing together these expressions, Newsweek magazine proclaimed that the border prayer was a “controversial event seen as anti-Muslim,” and repeated the AP story that “the prayers seemed like a way to express Islamophobia.”

The AP reported that one of the participants, 45-year-old Krzysztof Januszewski, expressed concerns that Europe is being threatened by Islamic extremists and a loss of faith in once Christian societies.

“In the past, there were raids by sultans and Turks and people of other faiths against us Christians,” said Januszewski.

“Today Islam is flooding us and we are afraid of this too,” he added. “We are afraid of terrorist threats and we are afraid of people departing from the faith.”

California Law: Calling Transgenders the Wrong Gender Pronoun Can Send You to Jail

California Law: Calling Transgenders the Wrong Gender Pronoun Can Send You to Jail

A newly signed law signed by California Gov. Jerry Brown last week states that health care workers who choose not to address transgender patients by their preferred pronouns could face fines or jail time.

The bill, which was signed into law Wednesday, is designed to protect transgender and LGBT individuals in hospitals, assisted living facilities, long-term care facilities, and retirement homes from discrimination and ensure their needs are met, such as letting them use the bathroom of their preferred gender.

“It shall be unlawful for a long-term care facility or facility staff to take any of the following actions wholly or partially on the basis of a person’s actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) status,” the bill reads.

The law states that health care workers who “willfully and repeatedly” fail to address transgender people by their “preferred name or pronouns” if they were “clearly informed of the preferred name or pronouns” would be in violation of the law.

According to the newly-signed law, violators could be punished with a fine “not to exceed one thousand dollars,” sent to prison “in the county jail for a period not to exceed one year,” or both.

State Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco), who introduced the bill to the California Senate in August, argued that people would not be criminally prosecuted despite the law’s wording.

“It’s just more scare tactics by people who oppose all LGBT civil rights and protections,” he said in a statement last month.

Wiener’s office claimed that the law “does not create any new criminal provisions,” but instead creates “new rights within an existing structure.”

Those who opposed the law, including Greg Burt of the California Family Council, criticized the measure when it was in its early stages for being a violation of free speech.

“How can you believe in free speech, but think the government can compel people to use certain pronouns when talking to others?” Burt told the California Assembly Judiciary Committee in August,  according to CBN News.

Anti-Gun Nut Chelsea Handler to Shooting Victim Rep. Scalise: ‘F**k You, A**Hole’

The October 6 episode of Netflix’s Chelsea, titled “Hart of the Matter,” included a segment devoted to the extreme liberal rhetoric associated with the anti-gun crowd. The guests were Igor Volsky, Director of Guns Down and co-host of a podcast, and Kris Brown, co-president of The Brady Campaign and Center to Prevent Gun Violence. As expected, the scapegoats were Republicans and the gun lobby, specifically the NRA.

Beginning the segment with the newly popular response from the left – “thoughts and prayers are not enough” – Igor Volsky praised the knee-jerk responses of Hillary Clinton and Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) in the media. Republicans and the NRA are “really complicit in the murder that happened in Vegas, in the everyday gun violence we see in this country, that we can no longer kind of put away into some box, we’ll return to this later. We have to act now, and we have to act in a way to make sure we have fewer guns in America.” There it is. Just take away guns and life is perfect, right?

Kris Brown jumped in with, “We shouldn’t live in a country where people can’t go to concerts or church or baseball fields, or elementary schools without the fear of being shot.” Where does this woman live? Sounds like she’s describing Chicago, which has the highest number of gun deaths, even though the city has the strictest gun control laws in the nation. Funny, none of these three lefties brought up Chicago.

“So, our main problem here is Republicans getting money from the NRA. They care more about money than human lives. That’s what it is.” How ironic coming from a pro-abortion Planned Parenthood supporter. Continuing on her anti-Republican, anti-Second Amendment narrative, Chelsea Handler questioned the compassion Republicans felt for the shooting victims in Vegas as she said congressmen take money from the NRA so “they don’t give a shit about those people. I mean, Scalise, the congressman that was shot, still says it enforced his belief in guns even more. It’s like, “Fuck you, asshole.”

She noted that Scalise received $25,000 in NRA donations – seriously? She thinks the NRA bought off a Congressman for a measly $25,000? “These people don’t value human life at all,” claims the woman who has had 3 abortions.

Proving utterly clueless that Americans hunt, Chelsea asks, “Does anyone still make a living as hunters in this country?” Handler doesn’t seem to understand the definition of a military state, either. She claims if Americans have guns, “that’s a military state.” Bless her heart.

Kris Brown cites the old Brady Campaign statistic that Americans with a gun in the home are “22% more likely to be harmed by that gun than to have it be used in self-defense,” but, considering there are millions of instances of defensive gun use per year, that is demonstrably false.

Handler ended the show with a rolling list of congress members who have taken money from the NRA. She instructed her viewers to get out and make their opinions on guns known. “It’s time for us to start voting for politicians who do not live in the pockets of the NRA, so we can start with the 2018 midterm elections. You can get off your asses, register to vote and show up at the polls, because that’s how we make change happen.”

VIDEO

Maybe before her audience does any of those things, they should read a copy of The Constitution, specifically The Bill of Rights. Chelsea Handler could use a refresher course, too.
