Illegal immigrant charged in killing of grandma of 5 had been previously deported six times, ICE says

A Mexican national charged in the hit-and-run death of a Colorado grandmother was in the United States illegally. He had also been previously deported multiple times and had been arrested on suspicion of drunk driving just days before, law enforcement officials say.

Last week in Denver, Colorado, 51-year-old Annette Conquering Bear was killed in a hit-and-run collision while she was crossing the street on the way back from a Walgreens store near her apartment. On Monday, the Denver district attorney’s office announced formal charges against 39-year-old Juan Sanchez for leaving the scene of a deadly accident and vehicular homicide.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) told KUSA-TV Monday in a written statement that the suspect “is an ICE enforcement priority” with multiple previous removals from the United States spanning almost two decades. ICE says federal officials removed Sanchez two times in 2002, three times in 2008, and once again in 2012.

The KUSA report also explains that that just four days prior to the accident that killed Conquering Bear, Sanchez had previously been arrested on suspicion of DUI but released after booking because he was “uncooperative,” even though a breath test reportedly showed that his blood alcohol level was over twice the legal limit. “Sanchez refused to sit down on the booking bench,” and at one point he he “began laying down on the floor [of a jail cell] refusing to listen to any orders,” a police report says. ICE says that, in that instance, the suspect was released from custody before ICE could even lodge a detainer on him.

Now, ICE told KUSA, the agency has issued a detainer requesting that it “be given timely and specific notification before [Sanchez] is released from local custody for any reason.”

Conquering Bear was a mother of six and a grandmother of five and died just before her 52nd birthday, according to an obituary.

“I wanted to run past the tape, but you can’t. It’s a crime scene,” Daryle Conquering Bear told KDVR-TV about the scene of his mother’s untimely death. “The officer removed part of it and I seen the top of her head and I knew that was her. There’s nothing you can do.”

Unhinged Leftists Storm Church on Christmas Eve and Disrupt Service Over Pastor’s Harsh Words on Islam

Angry leftists stormed the village church in Kleinhüningen, Switzerland and disrupted the service on Christmas Eve.

The unhinged mob were outraged over Pastor Christine Dietrich‘s harsh comments on Islam.

Pi-News reported:

It was just after 10 p.m. The celebration had only just begun, the organist was playing the introductory piece when several masked people rose. “I hadn’t noticed these people before,” says Pastor Christine Dietrich, who led the service. Apparently, the young people only sat in the church like normal churchgoers and disguised themselves shortly afterwards.

“They got up, spread out their sheets and announced that they would now do a Christmas campaign,” Dietrich says. Some worshipers initially thought that the performance was part of the program. He did not, as it quickly became clear: “Our message is: peace instead of agitation,” called an activist. Dietrich would preach about the light of peace. “But this peace is hypocritical!” The pastor had run an extreme right-wing website for years and never distanced herself from it. “We urge them to take a stand against Islamophobia and racism today.”

In concrete terms, the pastor is accused of having worked as an author on the “Politically Incorrect” website until 2011. It was less about her posts than the fact that she wrote for this platform at all.

More Trump: Longest expansion in U.S. history

Want more Trump? That’s how you get More Trump. It’s something conservatives have been snickering about every time the leftists pull some kind of embarrassing excess.

Now we have some additional news about the Trump economy:

The U.S. economy proved remarkably resilient in 2019, defying recession fears that dominated the headlines throughout the year. The economy has entered the longest expansion in American history, surpassing the economic boom of the 1990s.

United States consumers, buoyed by the strong labor market, have continued to drive economic growth during the past year against a backdrop of weak business sentiment.

Increased hiring and rising wages have powered consumer spending, which accounts for more than two-thirds of the U.S. economy. The stock market also rose steadily throughout the year, boosting household income and allowing people to spend more.

Longest expansion in U.S. history? Wow! 

And there have been some bright eras we can remember for economic growth – the Reagan era, the Clinton era, the post-Kennedy tax-cut 60s, maybe even the Ike era. This Trump era tops them all. 

Promises kept. And Trump knew exactly what it took to get that job done — tax cuts, deregulation, and an end to unchecked illegal migration which tends to drive wages down.

The stock market has hit a record high, seven million jobs have been created since Trump became president, minority employment is at an all-time high, and people on the bottom rungs of the economic ladder are seeing the biggest wage gains. Holiday retail sales are showing signs so far of a blowout. Here’s something Trump tweeted just the other day:

<blockquote class=”twitter-tweet”><p lang=”en” dir=”ltr”>Democrats’ gift to American workers? Three years wasted obsessing over impeachment.<br> <br>Republicans’ gift to American workers? See for yourself! 👇 <a href=”https://t.co/HJ9Po4V88c”>pic.twitter.com/HJ9Po4V88c</a></p>&mdash; Senate Republicans (@SenateGOP) <a href=”https://twitter.com/SenateGOP/status/1207324390406414339?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>December 18, 2019</a></blockquote> <script async src=”https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js” charset=”utf-8″></script>

Democrats don’t do good economies like this. If there’s a good economy at all, it’s based on events they didn’t see coming, such as the drilling and frackin phenomenon that President Obama first tried to stop, and then claimed credit for, or else a GOP congress fully cognizant of how free markets work, as in the case of Bill Clinton.

The good economy kept Bill Clinton out of impeachment consequences, and the exact same thing is happening, probably on an even bigger scale with President Trump.

Hey, Democrats! Want More Trump! This, too, is how you get More Trump.

Pastor Darrell Scott Shoots Down Pete Buttigieg’s Politicized Christmas Greeting

Pastor Darrell Scott ridiculed Mayor Pete Buttigieg’s Christmas greeting as a “load of crap” on Wednesday after the South Bend mayor claimed Jesus came to earth as a refugee.

“Today I join millions around the world in celebrating the arrival of divinity on earth, who came into this world not in riches but in poverty, not as a citizen but as a refugee,” he wrote on Twitter.

Buttigieg’s greeting was instantly ridiculed on Twitter for trying to load up his Christmas message with heavy handed political messaging and for curiously omitting the use of the name Jesus Christ.

Pastor Darrell Scott, a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump pointed out that Jesus was not a “refugee” who came to earth from heaven.

“When did you come up with THAT load of crap?” he wrote in response to Buttigieg. “Joseph was NOT a poor man, and Jesus did NOT come into this world as a refugee from heaven. Please stop.”

Buttigieg later reshared a more meaningful Christmas message from his husband Chasten who showed off their dog playing with a stuffed avocado.

U.S. Sent 4 Spy Planes to Watch for North Korea’s ‘Christmas Gift’ Missile Launch

South Korean media reported on Wednesday that the United States flew four surveillance aircraft over the Korean Peninsula simultaneously to keep an eye out for North Korea’s promised “Christmas gift” of a provocative missile launch.

“It is unusual for four American surveillance planes to conduct missions around the Korean Peninsula at the same time. That appears to illustrate how much attention the U.S. is paying to an increasingly belligerent North Korea,” South Korea’s Yonhap News wrote.

The report was based on information from a civilian air tracking group called Aircraft Spots, which monitored three manned aircraft – an RC-135W Rivet Joint, an E-8C Joint STARS, and an RC-135S Cobra Ball – as well as an RQ-4 Global Hawk drone. A KC-135R refueling aircraft was also deployed to support the planes. The RC-135S launched from Kadena Air Base in Japan and covered the Sea of Japan, commonly known as the East Sea in Korea.

Yonhap News also noted that land and naval radar systems were on alert throughout Christmas Day. As of Thursday morning, no missile launch had been detected. 

NBC News noted a high level of U.S. surveillance activity on the Korean Peninsula this week. While the Pentagon did not respond to NBC’s request for comment, a South Korean defense spokesman said his government and the United States are working closely on “monitoring and tracking down North Korean movements.”

In early December, North Korean Vice Foreign Minister Ri Thae-song denounced American diplomacy as a “foolish trick” and declared Pyongyang was no longer interested in negotiations.

“The DPRK [North Korean regime] has done its utmost with maximum perseverance not to backtrack from the important steps it has taken on its own initiative. What is left to be done now is the U.S. option and it is entirely up to the U.S. what Christmas gift it will select to get,” he warned.

This was widely interpreted as a threat to conduct missile tests on or before Christmas Day, both to continue North Korea’s policy of ratcheting up tensions to force concessions and because such activity could prove embarrassing to U.S. President Donald Trump during his reelection campaign. 

A week after Ri’s remarks, North Korea announced it had conducted a “very important test” of rocket engines that could be used in intercontinental ballistic missiles. Commercial satellite photos later detected activity at a factory where North Korea has constructed long-range missiles and launchers.

Speaking with reporters on Christmas Eve, President Trump joked about Ri’s threat: “Maybe it’s a present where he sends me a beautiful vase as opposed to a missile test, right? I may get a vase, I may get a nice present from him. You don’t know. You never know.”

Iran Blocks Mobile Internet Access to Prepare for Another Crackdown on Protesters

International groups that monitor Internet blockades said on Wednesday mobile Internet access is going down across several provinces in Iran, most likely paving the way for another bloody crackdown on protesters.

Reuters saw all the signs of a fresh crackdown in response to calls on social media for another round of protests, including state media claims that weapons have been seized from subversives supported by the United States and more complaints from the Tehran regime that protests are being organized by agents of hostile foreign governments.

Eyewitnesses report ominous deployments of Iranian troops in urban areas to intimidate potential protesters:

Iranian officials denied giving orders to partially block the Internet, but inside sources said a blockade was indeed under way and growing, while outside monitors detected significant disruptions:

An official denied any order by the authorities to block the internet, which was shutdown for about a week in the November unrest. A news agency also cited mobile operators saying their services had not been disrupted.

The semi-official news agency ILNA quoted an informed source at the Communications and Information Technology Ministry as saying mobile internet access to overseas sites was blocked by “security authorities” in Alborz, Kurdestan and Zanjan provinces in central and western Iran and Fars in the south.

“According to this source, it is possible that more provinces will be affected by the shutdown of mobile international connectivity,” ILNA said.

Internet blockage observatory NetBlocks said on Twitter: “Confirmed: Evidence of mobile internet disruption in parts of #Iran …real-time network data show two distinct drops in connectivity this morning amid reports of regional outages; incident ongoing.”

The shutdown appeared to be spreading.

“I just checked myself and asked a friend, and the internet is off on our mobiles,” a resident in Ahvaz, the capital of the oil producing Khuzestan province, told Reuters.

Some of the areas affected by the Internet disruption featured especially vigorous protest activities and violent responses from the Iranian government, including a province where security forces shot a young protester and then arrested his parents for refusing to cancel his funeral. 

Many calls for renewed protests on social media in recent days have urged Iranians to remember the dead and denounce the government for killing them. One popular tag for online protest activity was “See You Thursday.” When Internet blackouts interfered with online coordination, protesters began handing out leaflets with hashtags and other contact information written on them.

The Iranian regime continues denying the extent of the bloodshed during the crackdown last month, but international observers report hundreds were killed. Reuters itself published the highest estimate at 1,500 people killed in less than two weeks in mid-November.

The previous crackdown included extensive government manipulation of Internet access, which the U.S. highlighted by leveling sanctions against Iranian Minister of Information and Communications Technology Mohammad Javad Azari Jahromi. 

“Iran’s leaders know that a free and open internet exposes their illegitimacy, so they seek to censor internet access to quell anti-regime protests. We are sanctioning Iran’s Minister of Information and Communications Technology for restricting internet access, including to popular messaging applications that help tens of millions of Iranians stay connected to each other and the outside world,” U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said when announcing the sanctions in November.

The Jerusalem Post reported confrontations between security forces and demonstrators in several cities on Wednesday night, some of them captured on video and uploaded to social media. Videos from multiple locations showed security troops firing into the air to disperse the protests.

On How Evangelicals Can Support Trump, Both Libs AND Conservatives Get it Wrong

On How Evangelicals Can Support Trump, Both Libs AND Conservatives Get it WrongWith both the Russia and Ukraine hoaxes having fizzled and the “legal” means for President Trump’s removal perhaps exhausted, at least for now, the Left appears to have moved on to a “moral” argument designed to influence the 2020 election. Initiated by Christianity Today and advanced by figures such as CNN’s Chris Cuomo, the idea is that Evangelicals — and by implication all Christians — should be ashamed to support Trump because he makes a “mockery” of their faith.

It’s an interesting argument not because it’s anything but a demagogic one, but because it relates to interesting issues completely eluding the very uninteresting people making the argument. Unfortunately, I’ve yet to hear them treated adequately.

Were I to apply my own purity test, I couldn’t vote for anyone, including myself. Characterizing myself, I shy away from ideological or party labels and rather say I’m sort of like Mayberry meets the Middle Ages. In fact, there’s a certain (half?) joke I sometimes make with those around me, who are very few in number, after returning from situations in which I encounter large groups of people. “I had to interact with the humans today,” I’ll say. Yet I can still vote for the humans — including the very human Donald Trump.

A Good Scapegoat is Almost as Good as a Solution

A Good Scapegoat is Almost as Good as a SolutionThe scapegoat in this case is President Donald Trump as portrayed by the Democrats.

Ever since Trump pulled off the greatest electoral upset of the century, he has become the scapegoat for the failure of the Democrat Party to “crown” Hillary Clinton as president of the United States.  For 3 years, everything President Trump has said or done (and in his whole life) has been put under a microscope in hopes of finding something—anything— to bring Articles of Impeachment against him to remove him from office.  So far, the partisan attacks have failed, even though the Democrats have put forth two phony Articles of Impeachment.

The Pentagon continues to push our soldiers in Afghanistan while bringing in more Middle Eastern military personnel to train here

Just in one week, Pentagon officials announced they see no security threat in bringing Middle Eastern personnel to train on our military bases, while they believe there is a threat if we don’t continue the Kabul urban renewal project, aka the Afghan war. At the same time, another decorated soldier died over there, just after Congress passed a defense bill dealing with everything except for defense of our soldiers. “Invade the world, invite the world” is still the guiding vision of our broken Pentagon leaders.

Sgt. 1st Class Michael Goble, a Green Beret and Bronze Star recipient, was completing his final tour in Afghanistan when he was killed Monday in the northern Kunduz province, in a roadside bombing. His remains were flown home to his family on Christmas day. Whereas in years past, a soldier solemnly removing his hat when informing the family members of the death was able to look the loved ones in the eyes and tell them how the soldier died while we were taking vital ground in a clear mission, today there are no words to describe the vanity of the mission.

This year, 24 soldiers have died in Afghanistan, the most since 2014. Every single special ops group has lost a soldier this year. This is two and a half years since Trump promised a new strategy there. But as I noted at the time, there is no strategy. The Afghans are just as compromised as ever. Our soldiers are engaged in the most dangerous combat — counterinsurgency patrolling in villages where they are ambushed, often by the very forces they are “mentoring.”

We can have the strongest military in the world, but there is no way we can send isolated units into these types of cities on foot patrol and leave them there indefinitely without any defensive lines or strategic offensive vision, while any suicide bomber dressed as a civilian can attack them directly or with a roadside bomb. This isn’t a war; this is a social work operation in a war zone – the worst combination of all.

It is truly shocking how even after the Washington Post published an exhaustive expose showing that the Pentagon brass knew Afghanistan was an incorrigible and counterintuitive mission, this administration is still pressing on. The expose, which was based on thousands of interviews compiled by the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction, found decades of deceit and obfuscation about “progress” in the theater. Nothing was done in the defense bill to rectify the situation except that more money was thrown at the Afghan military and we are bringing in thousands more to become immigrants in America! To top it off, the defense bill Trump signed last Friday even pays for Taliban expenses during negotiations.

Shockingly, Army Gen. Mark A. Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said last week he doesn’t believe the soldiers died for nothing.

“I do not. I absolutely do not,” he said at a news conference on Friday responding to the Washington Post expose. “I could not look at myself in the mirror. I couldn’t answer myself at 2 or 3 in the morning when my eyes pop open and I see the dead roll in front of my eyes. So no, I don’t think anybody has died in vain, per se.”

OK, so what did they die for? The mythical “Afghan military?”

These are the same generals Trump once referred to as being “reduced to rubble,” yet instead of draining the swamp, he has promoted them. On September 4, 2013, Milley, then a three-star general, said about the Afghan military, “This army and this police force have been very, very effective in combat against the insurgents every single day. And I think that’s an important story to be told across the board.”

Defense Secretary Mark Esper, another swamp monster promoted by Trump, said, “We have a mission in Afghanistan, and that is to ensure that it never again becomes a safe haven for terrorists.” Standing next to General Milley at Friday’s press conference, he promised to remain in the godforsaken country “until we are confident that that mission is complete, we will retain a presence to do that.”

The problem with that, as the 9/11 commission staff report said, is that 9/11 was all about visas and immigration because “terrorists cannot plan and carry out attacks in the United States if they are unable to enter the country.” Yet, thanks to these policies, we are sending our soldiers there to build up an Islamic military, and then we are bringing some here to train. This very defense bill that Trump bragged about signing added another 4,000 special immigrant visas for Afghanistan. We’ve been bringing in about 10,000 a year! Prior to 9/11, we barely had immigrants from there. Now, aside from 2,500 dead and tens of thousands of wounded soldiers, we have nothing to show for the war other than 100,000 largely unvetted new Afghani migrants. This is something George Orwell couldn’t have choreographed.

Worse, at the same time, the Pentagon is now saying it sees no threat of terrorism in the military training of foreign military personnel on our bases in light of the Pensacola attack. Last Thursday, the Pentagon announced that following background checks on all Saudi military trainees in the country, it found no “immediate threat scenario.” Remember, these are the same people who, in 2017, found no threat from Mohammad Alshamrani after he tweeted jihadist material. I guess the immediacy of a threat is all relative.

Meanwhile, these same swamp generals refuse to pay attention to our own border, even as they fund endless security programs and even border wall construction in the Middle East. At some point, conservatives must ask which swamp we are draining.

Salon Feminazi: ‘Merry Christmas!’ Is Conservative Code For ‘F*ck You!’

Who knew?

Via Newsbusters:

Most conservatives and liberals enjoy Christmas enough to just have a good time, though every once in awhile you get a Scrooge who refuses to fathom the reason of the season and badmouths the holiday and those who celebrate it. Salon’s politics writer Amanda Marcotte doubled down on her hatred for Christmas by calling those who celebrate it hypocrites who mean “fuck you” when they say “Merry Christmas.” […]

Marcotte claimed that these conservatives’ celebration of Christmas is just a part of race. It’s a political/identity used against people they don’t see as part of their tribe. “Stirred by years of Fox News lying to viewers… conservatives have increasingly embraced the phrase ‘Merry Christmas’ to mean, basically, ‘F**k you’ to anyone that they’ve deemed less than legitimate Americans.”
