Angry Tijuana Residents March Against Migrant Caravan, ‘This Is An Invasion’


Obviously racists.

Via Daily Caller:

Hundreds of angry residents took to the streets of downtown Tijuana on Sunday to protest the caravan of Central American migrants that has been streaming into the city in recent weeks.

Carrying Mexican flags and singing the national anthem, the demonstrators marched to a sports complex where about 2,000 of the migrants are being housed. There, held back by a wall of riot police, they denounced the mostly Honduran migrants as “criminals” and “freeloaders” who were openly flouting Mexican law.

“This is an invasion!” shouted local carpenter Luis Alexis Mendoza, according to the Los Angeles Times. “We demand respect. We demand that our laws be followed.”

Sunday’s anti-caravan march reflected simmering tensions in Tijuana, a sprawling border city of about 1.6 million, over the arrival of the latest Central American caravan. While the city has long been a waypoint for migrants of all stripes heading to the U.S., it has not had to deal with the presence of thousands of homeless Central Americans who are waiting indefinitely to apply for asylum at the ports of entry.

Exclusive – Sec. Ryan Zinke Backs Trump: Years of Mismanagement Led to California Fires


Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke backed President Donald Trump on the years of forest mismanagement that led to the California fires as Zinke joined Breitbart News Sunday radio with host Amanda House.

He suggested that even photos of the devastation don’t do justice to what it was like to see it in person. Pointing to years of neglect and dead and dying timber, he observed, “It was like a flamethrower of embers shooting through the forests.”

Zinke said many people were unprepared for the fire. He described situations where firefighters were fighting back fire encroaching on commercial buildings with people still inside of them. 

He said the area of Paradise may never return to the way it was before the inferno.

“The president is absolutely engaged,” said Zinke. He pointed also to the Sheriff and firefighters who fought the fire while their own homes were in jeopardy.

“Forests need active management,” he went on speaking of beetle kills and drought. “The amount of fuel in the forest is at historic highs.”

“The president is absolutely right. This is as much about mismanagement over time,” said Zinke who pointed to not only the previous administration but that the problem had been “going on for years.” He suggested going “back to prescribed burns late in the season,” removed dead and dying timber, and sustainable harvest. He pointed to Finland and Germany as examples.

He said “radical environmentalists” have filed lawsuits to let “nature take its course” and that these fires are the consequence of allowing nature to do so.

Democrat entrepreneur Andrew Yang proposes government-run ‘social credits’ system akin to China’s

Andrew Yang, a New York entrepreneur and Democrat who hopes to run in the 2020 presidential election, wants to implement a government-run app to reward citizens with “digital social credits” for good behavior, according to his website.

What does this include?

Although not identical, the system echoes of China’s so-called social credit system. Rolled out in 2014, China’s system rates people on everything from breaking laws to how they act in public and what they post on the Internet. It also imposes punishments such as restricting travel by air or train, for people with poor scores.
Under Yang’s proposal, Americans could receive points for activities such as coaching little league or volunteering at a local homeless shelter. He likens it to banking or retail rewards programs.
His website states: “As individuals rack up DSCs, they would have both a permanent balance they’ve earned over their lifetime and a current balance. They could cash the points in for experiences, purchases with participating vendors, support for causes, and transfer points to others for special occasions. As their permanent balance gets higher, they might qualify for various perks like throwing a pitch at a local ballgame, an audience with their local Congressperson or meeting their state’s most civic-minded athlete or celebrity.”
“The most socially detached would be the most likely to ignore all of this. But many people love rewards and feeling valued.”
Yang campaign chairman Matter Shinners told The Daily Caller that punishments are not a part of his proposal.

"My understanding of the Chinese system (which is admittedly limited) is that it’s more of a rating that’s externally imposed based on a number of non-opt-in factors, almost like a credit rating, and collates information captured from public surveillance, economic and social media activity, etc… to create a ‘score’ that would then, possibly, be used to ‘blacklist’ people from certain activities," he wrote in an email to the news outlet. "Under my understanding, the Chinese system is more of a score/rating than a system of credits. Andrew’s platform calls for a system that’s much more akin to time banking, or to points that people earn on their credit cards. There’s no general monitoring of individual activity, and no scraping of social media sites to see what people are up to. Instead, activities such as volunteering or helping your neighbors would earn you credits that could then be traded with others for receiving similar help. For example, I spend 4 hours/week coaching a hockey team in my community, and I use the credits I earn to have a local electrician (who possibly has a kid on the team) help me install a garage door opener. There would also be backing by the federal government for conversion to currency (that would be taxed), or traded in for “fun” activities (such as getting to attend a bill signing)."

Anything else?

In addition to social credits, Yang advocates on his website for a “Universal Basic Income.” Under the plan, the federal government would give “ $1,000 per month, or $12,000 per year, to all U.S. citizens between the ages of 18 and 64. Yes, that means you and everyone you know would get another $1,000/month every month from the U.S. government, no questions asked,” according to his website. Yang claims that new technologies could place one out of three American workers at risk of losing their jobs.

Far-Left Antifa Attacks Gay Asian Reporter in Portland – Hurls Racist Taunts “Gook,” “Chink”


Far-Left Antifa Attacks Gay Asian Reporter in Portland – Hurls Racist Taunts “Gook,” “Chink”


by Brock Simmons
November 18, 2018

Portland area freelance reporter Andy Ngo covered the #HimToo event and counter protest Saturday, only to face multiple instances of intimidation, threats, ridicule, and even racist taunts from the far left antifa thugs, calling him a “gook” and a “chink” telling him to “get the F*** in your cage”. Apparently the Portland “police” stood by and did nothing to intervene.

The user @TheflytingShow on twitter poses the question “How far right wing does an Asian have to be before its okay to call him a gook and a chink?” on the Rose City Antifa twitter feed.

Ngo writes for the Wall Street Journal, Quillette, and has started his own podcast called Things You Should Ngo. He first made national news after getting fired by the Portland State University student newspaper for posting a video of a muslim cleric saying that non muslims would be killed in islamic society.

Ngo attempted to file a report with Portland “police” but officers refused to take the report.

Only in Portland is perfectly acceptable for a gang of spoiled rich white kids to attack and berate a gay Asian reporter in the name of social justice and battling “white supremacy.”

Trump Campaign Reportedly Zeroes In On Nickname For Joe Biden


President Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign team is reportedly coming up with nicknames for opponents he may face in the presidential race and they appear to have settled on one for former Vice President Joe Biden.

The New York Post reports that “the current favorite for the former veep is ‘Creepy Joe’ — a reference to Biden’s supposed habit of touching and kissing strangers and staffers alike.”

Trump has often used nicknames to brand political opponents — a tactic that has proven to be successful in the past, most notably with “Crooked” Hillary Clinton.

If the campaign decides to use “Creepy Joe” on Biden, the former Vice President may have a hard time shaking the label as even left-wing media outlets have admitted he has a disturbing pattern of touching people:

  • The Washington Post: “What are we going to do about Creepy Uncle Joe Biden?”
  • Daily Beast: “Dear Lord Would Joe Biden Be a Terrible Candidate for These Times”
  • Huffington Post: “Joe Biden 2020 Is A Terrible Idea In A Post-Weinstein America”
  • VICE: “Joe Biden Is the Last Person the Democrats Should Run in 2020”

Another issue that Biden will face are allegations that he repeatedly got naked in front of female Secret Service agents who found his behavior to be highly offensive.

Last year, Turning Point USA’s Richard Armande Mills compiled a list of many of the instances where Biden engaged in touching that many have found to be disturbing:

After playing it off fails, Florida Democrats lawyer up over ‘irregularities’

Florida Democrats — along with CNN news anchors, reporters, and chyrons — have made the case for the last 10 days or so that President Trump and Gov. Rick Scott are lying when they make claims about ballot issues, malfeasance, or fraud in Florida’s election results tallying. When Florida’s Department of State asked federeral prosecutors to look into "irregularities" in official documents, the Florida Democratic Party (FDP) tried to play it off. "The courts have already forced Rick Scott to drop a lawsuit after false claims of fraud, and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement rejected his desperate attempts to interfere with the important work of counting ballots,” said spokesperson Caroline Rowland, in an emai to Politico. “Now, Scott is once again trying to divert attention and resources from a smooth and successful recount."
That sentiment has been thematic in Florida and in CNN coverage of Florida, despite actual evidence, court findings, and an accountable record of serious problems and more than questionable decisions made by Democrats in the state. That tune changed on Friday, though, at least as far as the FDP is concerned. They lawyered up.
Politico reports:

“Upon receiving notice of the allegations that the form was incorrect, FDP took immediate steps, including hiring an independent investigator to review the issues at hand,” attorney Mark Herron said in a statement provided by a party spokeswoman. “As soon as we know the results of the investigation we will advise you.”
Herron went to CNN to break the news Friday morning, one week after the vote-by-mail “cure affidavits” were sent to U.S. Attorneys Christopher P. Canova of the Northern District of Florida, Maria Chapa Lopez of the Middle District of Florida and Ariana Fajardo Orshan of the Southern District of Florida.

To put in simplest terms, so there can be no confusion for any CNN contributors or analysts, the fact that Democrats in the State altered the date on forms mailed to voters is a “fraudulent practice" under Florida law. Remember, nearly every day since the election the media has been on flatly stating there is no evidence or allegation of fraud in the state, and that everyone claiming otherwise is a liar. Borrowing from FDP, the media has used the word "false" relentlessly.
But Politico notes that it’s a third-degree felony to “knowingly and willfully … make or use any false document, knowing the same to contain any false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or entry." Note the word "fraudulent" there.
Another cherry line from Politico’s article: "The use of altered documents to reach out to voters whose mail ballots were initially rejected is the cherry on top of a disastrous election cycle for Florida Democrats."
There are more details here, or at the Naples Daily News here.
Politico’s article parses, arguing that accusations of fraud from Republicans have centered on Broward and Palm Beach Counties — where, one should note, the fact that no fraud investigation is currently underway is not a definitive case that none took place — and that because this fraud investigation is at the state level, it is not evidence that the GOP was correct to say there were problems in Florida. The reader may judge whether that stands to reason.
The facts in Florida are that, in addition to rejected ballots being mixed with accepted ones, missed deadlines that cost the Republican votes which would increase his lead, boxes of ballots showing up late, attempts to accept non-citizen ballots, and more, Democrats in Florida also literally tampered with official documents in their effort to alter the outcome of the election.
The Florida Democratic Party is lawyering up because they have a lot to answer for, and are now rightly on defense.

NYT, CNN wildly skew story on sexual harassment, Pence’s Press Secretary busts them

Both the New York Times and CNN have deliberately misled readers about two sexual harassment-related formal rebukes issued by the House Ethics Committee on Friday. In the case of the Times, they hid the fact that the rebukes addressed one Republican and one Democrat (guess which part they hid), and in the case of CNN, attempted to smear the Republican as being charged with sexual harassment himself (he wasn’t.)
Alyssa Farah, press secretary to Vice President Mike Pence, caught it, and said so on her personal Twitter account.
THIS IS CNN
Staring with CNN, which committed an arguably lesser offense, here are screenshots of the tweet and the article.


WHAT’S THE PROBLEM?
This obviously implies to sexual harassment offenses committed by two men. That is not, however, the case. This is from the second paragraph of the article (which placement is why it’s arguably a lesser offense):

Republican Rep. Mark Meadows of North Carolina was cited for "failure to take prompt and decisive action to deal with the alleged sexual harassment in his congressional office" and Democratic Rep. Ruben Kihuen of Nevada for making "persistent and unwanted advances towards women who were required to interact with him as part of their professional responsibilities."

Republican Meadows was reprimanded for failing to take prompt and decisive action over someone else’s offense; Democrat Kihuen for making advances and committed offenses himself. And although we here are aware of the circumstance, even that explantory paragraph is less than clear. Although it says "failure to take prompt and decisive action" it does not actually spell out that it wasn’t his behavior that required action.
Alyssa Farah clarified.

Farah is one of the women in the report that was issued. So to be clear, one of the complainants had to now complain about the coverage of her complaint, because CNN.
ALL THE NEWS THAT’S FIT TO NOT PRINT
The New York Times decided to bypass being misleading and opt instead for just missing and leaving out. Here are their screenshots:


WHAT’S THE PROBLEM?
You may notice the distinct lack of the words "Democrat", "two", and "Democratic Rep. Ruben Kihuen of Nevada." You have to go pretty far into the article to find any of them. In fact, as Newbusters counted out, you have to go to the tenth paragraph to find any mention of the Democrat who actually sexually harassed someone.

The committee also released a report on Friday reproving Representative Ruben Kihuen, Democrat of Nevada. Mr. Kihuen, a freshman lawmaker, did not seek re-election after Buzzfeed News reported that he had repeatedly harassed and made sexual advances toward his finance director. Two other women, one an aide, the other a lobbyist, testified before the committee that Mr. Kihuen made repeated unwanted physical and verbal advances toward them and, in one case, suggested “through the use of emojis” that they make a sex tape together.

There really is no excuse for this.

Politico Accuses Trump of ‘Cyberbullying’ ‘Little Adam Schitt’


Politico accused President Donald Trump of “cyberbullying” Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) with an apparently deliberate typo on Sunday in which he referred to the incoming House Intelligence Committee chair as “little Adam Schiff.”

In covering Trump’s tweet, Politico’s Quint Forgey called the president’s tweet “his crudest nickname yet for a political rival,” and suggested Trump was guilty of “cyberbullying”:

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on whether the president’s misspelling of Schiff’s name was intentional. The office of first lady Melania Trump, who has championed anti-cyberbullying efforts through her “Be Best” initiative, also did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The “f” key is near the “t” key on a typical QWERTY keyboard, but the president’s errant spelling of Schiff’s surname was almost certainly deliberate.

In his post-midterm election press conference, Trump stressed that he wanted to work with Democrats in the U.S. House, but would fight them if they insisted on crippling his administration through investigations. Trump warned Democrats against a “warlike posture.”

Schiff has insisted for two years that there is “more than circumstantial evidence” of “collusion” between Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and the Russian government, though such evidence has yet to emerge. On Sunday, he objected to the appointment of Matthew Whitaker as Acting Attorney General in place of Jeff Sessions, who resigned earlier this month and had recused himself from the Russia investigation after taking office in 2017.

In response to Trump’s tweet, Schiff responded:

Schiff’s own Twitter feed is full of anti-Trump tweets, including a claim that Trump is the “worst president in modern history.”

Trump Trolls Adam Schiff with New Nickname: ‘Little Adam Schitt’


President Donald Trump mocked Rep. Adam Schiff, the California Democrat who is expected to become chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, in a tweet on Sunday, calling him “little Adam Schitt.”

“So funny to see little Adam Schitt (D-CA) talking about the fact that Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker was not approved by the Senate, but not mentioning the fact that Bob Mueller (who is highly conflicted) was not approved by the Senate!” Trump tweeted around 1 p.m.

About 30 minutes after the president’s tweet, Schiff tweeted:

Schiff appeared earlier Sunday on ABC’s This Week, vowing to challenge President Trump’s appointment of acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker.

“I think the appointment is unconstitutional. He is clearly a principle officer and the fact that he is a temporary principle officer doesn’t mean that that is any less subject to Senate confirmation,” he said.

The Vacancies Reform Act of 1998 allows for someone to serve in an acting capacity for 210 days as long as that official served in in the same department in a fairly high-ranking position for at least 90 days. Schiff argued there are special rules at the Justice Department to determine who becomes acting attorney general.

He also threatened to “expose” whether Whitaker has had any involvement in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of the Trump campaign.

Before joining the Justice Department as former Attorney General Jeff Sessions’s chief of staff in 2017, Whitaker wrote op-eds and appeared on TV discussing his views about the investigation. He has said the investigation should not investigate the president’s finances that are unrelated to the question of whether there was collusion with the Russians.

“We will expose any involvement he has in it. He needs to know that if he takes any action to curb what Mr. Mueller does, we’re going to find out about it. We’re going to expose it. And I would certainly call on my colleagues right now to avoid the constitutional crisis, take action now, speak out against this appointment,” Schiff said.

It is not the first time Trump has trolled Schiff with a nickname. He has previously called him “Liddle Adam Schiff.”

Technician Reportedly Witnessed Florida Officials’ Surreal Incompetence with Voting Machines


At some point, this has to be a sick practical joke, right?

There’s no possible way that the state of Florida can be this bad at voting, is there? For crying out loud, voting is “only” one of the most important practices this country was founded on.

And yet, just when you think Florida couldn’t get any worse when it comes to tallying votes, the Sunshine State finds ways to put a cloud over its  reputation.

It’s no secret that there is extreme incompetence at the top, with Broward County election official Brenda Snipes being a chief example. Whether she’s giving laughably bad interviews or exhibiting borderline malicious incompetence, Snipes represents the very worst of what’s wrong with voting in Florida.

But she’s far from the only problem — and Broward County isn’t the only place in Florida that’s embarrassing itself on the national state.

TRENDING: Trump Points Out the ‘Ironic’ ‘Con’ of the Migrant Caravan

One county to the north of Broward, Palm Beach County’s election supervisor is Susan Bucher, a women who gives Snipes a run for her money in the incompetence sweepstakes.

And Palm Beach is providing the latest troubling example of what happens when incompetence trickles down to election workers, according to a New York Times report from Friday.

The Times reports that Palm Beach County found “dozens of precincts missing a significant number” of votes during the machine recount.

Bucher, apparently immune to any potential wrongdoing, pointed the blame at an “overheated and outdated ballot-scanning machine.”

Dominion Voting, the manufacturer of that machine, fired back, pointing the finger of blame at Bucher’s oversights.

Having sent technicians over to help address the various technical issues the ballot machines were facing, those technicians reportedly saw some jaw-dropping incompetence from Bucher’s staff.

The technicians reportedly “witnessed Palm Beach County elections workers, apparently worried that one of the machines was running too fast, jam a paper clip into the scanner’s ‘enter’ button in an effort to slow it down.”

That is the kind of solution a 5-year-old child comes up with when his PlayStation controller isn’t working properly. It should not be the go-to response for election workers.

RELATED: Leftists Claim Gillum Lost Florida Because of Racists, Forget Obama Won State Twice

Worse yet, technicians were literally there, seeing as how they witnessed it. So instead of bothering to ask for help from people who are eminently qualified, these election workers chose to jam a paper clip into a voting machine. Utterly unbelievable.

Is this an example of bad leadership practicies spilling downward?

“That, in turn, caused a short circuit that cut off the power” to the voting machine, according to what the company spokeswoman told the Times.

Kay Stimson, Dominion Voting’s vice president for government affiars, summed up the situation in dry terms, according to the Miami Herald:

“Based on what our technicians witnessed on site and reported to the company thus far, there is a strong indication that nonstandard operation of the equipment and human error did more to contribute to the issues than the equipment itself.”

(It’s pretty clear that jamming a paper clip into the “enter” button qualifies as “nonstandard operation of the equipment.” The phrase “human error” is putting it charitably.)

While there is a tinge of humor to the general idiocy of these election workers, it’s a gravely serious matter. The issues from breaking the machine were so serious “that the county was unable to complete its machine recount on time and its results were not included in the state vote totals.”

Those are honest American voters whose voice is being squelched by sheer incompetence. That is not okay, in any way, shape or form.
