Nolte: NYT Says Border at ‘Breaking Point’ 1 Month After ‘Fact Check’ Claimed No Emergency

One month after claiming there is “no emergency” at the border, the far-left New York Times now concedes the border is at a “breaking point.”

In real time, as President Trump gave his State of the Union speech last month, the Times branded the president a liar over his claim that there is an “urgent national crisis” at our border.

“This is false,” the Times told its readers, using a non sequitur about individuals attempting to cross the border, while admitting — at the bottom of the fact check —  that a “record number of families have tried to cross the border in recent months.”

At the time, this phony fact check was widely ridiculed for its absurd attempt to hide the fact that a “record number of families” stressing the resources of our southern border does not somehow constitute a legitimate crisis, and now, almost exactly a month later, this very same Times is reporting our border is at a “breaking point.”

“The number of migrant families crossing the southwest border has once again broken records, with unauthorized entries nearly doubling what they were a year ago, suggesting that the Trump administration’s aggressive policies have not discouraged new migration to the United States,” the Times reports.

“More than 76,000 migrants crossed the border without authorization in February, an 11-year high and a strong sign that stepped-up prosecutions, new controls on asylum and harsher detention policies have not reversed what remains a powerful lure for thousands of families fleeing violence and poverty.”

What the corrupt establishment media are doing here is pretty obvious…

When Trump accurately informs the public about a “crisis” along our southern border, the media brand him a liar, which gives Democrats the cover they desire to not give Trump the resources he needs to contain the crisis.

Then, as the crisis worsens, the Times gleefully reports on how out of control everything is, how Trump is not able to stop of the flow of illegal immigration.

Basically, the media use propaganda to stop Trump from getting the resources he needs — so that they can then turn around and blame him for the problem.

This is all about 2020, all about the media working with Democrats in the hopes of undermining Trump’s base of support by undermining his ability to keep a central campaign promise about fixing America’s illegal immigration problem.

Delingpole: Bombshell Claim — May’s Secret Brexit Betrayal Pact with Merkel

British Prime Minister Theresa May has no intention of delivering meaningful Brexit; her June 2018 Withdrawal Agreement was drafted secretly in collusion with German Chancellor Angela Merkel with a view to keeping as many European Union (EU) laws and institutions as possible; May’s and Merkel’s ultimate game plan is for Britain to re-join the EU in full some time after the next general election…

These are the allegations of an extraordinary memo currently being circulated feverishly on social media.

To me, it smacks of a conspiracy theory to rank with those stories about the clandestine Establishment plot to murder Princess Diana.

But the fact that people seem ready to believe it speaks volumes about the state of distrust between May’s Remainer political establishment and the Brexit voting electorate. May and her Civil Servants have handled Brexit so very, very badly that for some Brexiteers the only plausible explanation is not cock-up but outright treachery.

The memo was originally published, briefly, at the website of the Eurosceptic Bruges Group. Then quickly taken down.

Now AltNews Media has re-published it here with a disclaimer that it cannot vouch for the memo’s accuracy.

It claims:

On Monday July 9th 2018, several leading French, German and Dutch senior managers were called by EU officials to an urgent meeting.

The meeting was said to be private and those present were informed that Prime Minister May and Chancellor Merkel had reached an Agreement over Brexit. Knowledge of this was attained from the actual transcript of the meeting between May and Merkel.

1) The Agreement was couched in a way to ‘appease’ the Brexit voters.

2) The Agreement would enable May to get rid of those people in her party who were against progress and unity in the EU.

3) Both Merkel and May agreed that the likely course of events would be that UK would re-join the EU in full at some time after the next general election.

4) May agreed to keep as many EU laws and institutions as she could despite the current groundswell of ‘anti-EU hysteria’ in Britain (May’s own words, apparently.)

5) Merkel and May agreed that the only realistic future for the UK was within the EU.

The original Agreement draft was completed in May 2018 in Berlin and then sent to the UK Government Cabinet Office marked ‘Secret’.

A spokesman for the Bruges Group told me that it still stands by the claims but that it had never meant to publish them in memo form. A fuller, better-supported version of the article will go up shortly, I am told.

The author of the memo is John Petley, who for many years worked for the small, cross-party Eurosceptic campaign group Campaign for Independent Britain.

Petley told me he had got the information from an impeccable source which had proved extremely reliable in the past about other matters. “I’m not a conspiracy theorist,” he said.

He said that there were a number things that appeared to back up the claims in his memo. Some of the wording in the Withdrawal Agreement – though he could not specify which – read as if it had been translated into English from German. He is also mystified by some of the concessions made in the Withdrawal Agreement, such as Britain’s support for an integrated European army – something which before 2016 it had opposed on the grounds that NATO already served this function.

“I think the backstop was just a smokescreen to distract us from the many worse problems within the Withdrawal Agreement,” Petley told me.

Me, I’m filing it under “Huge if true…”

Colorado Drops Case Against Christian Baker for Refusing to Make Transgender Cake

Colorado has announced it is dropping litigation against Christian baker Jack Phillips for his refusal on religious grounds to make a cake celebrating gender transition.

After the U.S. Supreme Court ruled last year that Mr. Phillips had been unjustly punished for refusing to make a same-sex wedding cake in 2012, Phillips was assailed with requests to make cakes celebrating Satan, marijuana, and sexually explicit imagery, with some of these requests reportedly coming from a transgender Colorado lawyer, Autumn Scardina.

Among her other requests, Ms. Scardina asked Phillips to make her a cake celebrating the anniversary of her gender transition from male to female, with a blue exterior and a pink interior. When Mr. Phillips refused, Scardina filed a complaint with the Colorado Civil Rights Commission alleging that the Christian baker’s actions were discriminatory.

The Commission then launched an administrative action against Masterpiece Cakeshop and its owner, Jack Phillips, saying there was probable cause that Phillips discriminated against Scardina based on gender identity.

By turning away Scardina, Phillips “denied her equal enjoyment of a place of public accommodation,” stated Aubrey Elenis, director of the Colorado Civil Rights Division, in her ruling.

At this point Mr. Phillips initiated a civil lawsuit against the State of Colorado, saying he was the victim of “Colorado’s unconstitutional bullying” that attacked his rights to freedom of speech, religion, equal protection, and due process.

“I know I wasn’t alone, and I know we all have the right to decline a message that we don’t support,” he said. “The Supreme Court told the Colorado Civil Rights Commission that they were hostile to my space, and they can’t do that. And here they are again showing hostility against me and my patrons.”

In a press release Tuesday, the state office announced that the Colorado Civil Rights Commission will voluntarily drop its case against Phillips and, in return, Phillips will end his federal lawsuit against the state.

Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser, whose office was representing the commission, said that “both sides agreed it was not in anyone’s best interest to move forward with these cases.”

“The larger constitutional issues might well be decided down the road, but these cases will not be the vehicle for resolving them. Equal justice for all will continue to be a core value that we will uphold as we enforce our state’s and nation’s civil rights laws,” Weiser declared.

“We’re pleased that the state will be dismissing its case against Jack,” said Kristen Waggoner, the Alliance Defending Freedom attorney who argued on behalf of Phillips before the Supreme Court.

“This is the second time the state has launched a failed effort to prosecute him. While it finally appears to be getting the message that its anti-religious hostility has no place in our country, the state’s decision to target Jack has cost him more than six-and-a-half years of his life, forcing him to spend that time tied up in legal proceedings,” she said.

CNN Panel of Dem Voters on ‘Badass’ AOC: ‘She Is the Candidate of the Future’

Wednesday CNN’s Alisyn Camerota interviewed a panel of Democrats who voted for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election.

The most excitement appeared to be for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).

Panelist Mary Reaman said, “She’s a badass.”

She added, “I don’t feel like she’s playing games. I’m so excited about her. She is smart, she is intelligent, and I cannot wait to see what else she does.”

Michael Milisits said, “She’s got the Democratic Party nervous in a way they should be nervous because she does represent the new guard, the new generation. I think she really kind of personifies where we expected things to go down the line.”

Christian Tamte said, “She is the candidate of the future.”

Establishment Media Admit Border Crisis

Media outlets are finally admitting the rapidly growing rush of migrants across the Mexico border.

“For the fourth time in five months, the number of migrant families crossing the southwest border has broken records, border enforcement authorities said Tuesday, warning that government facilities are full and agents are overwhelmed,” the New York Times said. It continued:

More than 76,000 migrants crossed the border without authorization in February, more than double the levels from the same period last year and approaching the largest numbers seen in any February in the last 12 years.

“The system is well beyond capacity, and remains at the breaking point,” Kevin K. McAleenan, commissioner of Customs and Border Protection, told reporters in announcing the new data.

National Public Radio (NPR) admitted the problem with a headline saying, “Migrant Families Arrive In Busloads As Border Crossings Hit 10-Year High,” The story continued:

The U.S. Border Patrol apprehended more than 66,000 migrants at the Southern border in February, the highest total for a single month in almost a decade.

Between October and last week, Border Patrol agents have picked up more than 260,000 people — a 90 percent jump over the same period a year ago.

The Washington Post reported: “Family migration pushes unauthorized crossings to highest levels in a decade,” adding:

The number of people taken into custody along the Mexico border jumped an additional 31 percent last month as an unprecedented mass migration of families from Central America pushes unauthorized crossings to the highest levels in a decade, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection figures released Tuesday.

Last month, the shortest of the year, was the busiest February at the border since 2007, officials said, with authorities detaining 76,103 migrants, up from 58,207 in January. The percentage of migrants who arrived as part of a family group also reached a new peak, with 40,325 parents and children taken into custody, a 67 percent leap from the previous month.

The New York Times played up the new offer of medical care for the migrants, spotlighted pleas for aid by pro-migration groups, and only briefly mentioned the incentives being offered to the migrants by Congress and the courts. “‘Crossing with a child is a guarantee of a speedy release and an indefinite release into the United States,’ Mr. McAleenan said.”

The Times also was silent about the harmful economic impact of the migration on Americans and the economic benefits that flow to business groups.

The Post, however, mentioned the ability of migrants to get jobs in the United States, saying:

An attractive job market in the United States is prompting more Central Americans to leave the poverty and insecurity of their home countries and head north, typically in groups of one parent and one child. Such pairings all but ensure the family will be processed quickly and released from U.S. custody in a matter of days.

NPR sympathetically portrayed the migrant aid groups as passive respondents to a humanitarian emergency:

“It takes an immense effort to do this,” said Ruben Garcia, the director of Annunciation House, a nonprofit organization in El Paso, Texas, that provides shelter, food and medical care to migrants after they’re released from government custody.

Most migrants spend just a few days in El Paso, Garcia said, before joining friends or relatives elsewhere in the country, where they’ll wait for their day in immigration court.

Humanitarian groups and immigration authorities are bracing for even more migrants in the months ahead. The number of people crossing the border illegally typically crests in the spring, as temperatures warm.

Suspect Charged With Three Felonies in Assault of Conservative on Berkeley Campus

Zachary Greenberg, 28, has been charged with three felonies and one misdemeanor in the assault of conservative activist Hayden Williams last month on the University of California, Berkeley campus.

Greenberg was charged with assault, battery with serious bodily injury, and criminal threats, as well as a misdemeanor count of vandalism, according to the criminal complaint obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

Greenberg will be arraigned in court on Wednesday, the Alameda County District Attorney’s office said.

Neither the suspected assailant nor Williams are students at Berkeley, but Campus Reform reported Greenberg, a software engineer according to Fox News, worked for the school as a lab assistant for three months in 2010 and was "briefly" a non-degree seeking student at the school.

The Feb. 19 attack on Williams was largely captured on camera. Williams, a field representative for the Leadership Institute, was accosted by two men while tabling on the campus’s main plaza to recruit members for the right-wing student group Turning Point. According to Williams, the men took exception to a sign referencing the alleged hate crime hoax perpetrated by Jussie Smollett.

One man flipped over Williams’s table, swore loudly at him, pushed him and eventually punched him in the face, leaving him with a black eye.

Given the charged political nature of the attack, Berkeley’s response to the assault has been under the microscope. The campus is infamous among conservatives for intolerance to right-leaning views, but in a fiery statement on Saturday the administration pushed back on the notion it treated the case with anything less than the seriousness it deserved.

President Donald Trump invited Williams up to speak during his lengthy speech at CPAC on Saturday. Trump thanked him for taking a punch on behalf of conservatives, and Williams said he would continue to fight discrimination against conservatives on college campuses.

Trump also announced he would soon sign an executive order requiring universities and colleges receiving federal research money to support free speech.

Williams penned an op-ed for USA Today where he criticized Berkeley for allowing "a culture of intolerance and violence towards conservatives to grow."

The post Suspect Charged With Three Felonies in Assault of Conservative on Berkeley Campus appeared first on Washington Free Beacon.
