Conservatives welcome. Libs & RINOs go away. It's all of you destroying the society and conservatives must no longer appease you!
The astringently humorless "fact check" squad at Snopes.com just keeps ripping the Babylon Bee website, painting their satire as "misinformation." This time, Ellie Gardey at the Daily Caller forced Snopes to revise their "fact check" and add actual facts.

On Friday President Trump called reporters to the White House to announce he has completed a “safe third country” asylum agreement with Guatemala.
This is a game-changer if it pans out and will significantly diminish the flood of illegal aliens crossing the US southern border.
This is also more than the open border Democrats have done to the secure thee border since President Trump came into office.
President Trump then went after the radical Democrats in the US House who using their office to harass the president, his family and his associates.
Trump suggested maybe he should go after Hillary Clinton and Obama.

According to figures obtained by the OVP, 7,329 have died in prisons since Hugo Chávez took power 20 years ago, roughly equivalent to one person a day. In 2011, the regime created a Ministry of Penitentiary Affairs aimed at reducing prison violence. There have been 2,832 recorded deaths since then, comprising roughly 38.51 percent of the total deaths.
The OVP’s General Director Humberto Prado blames current Minister of Popular Power for the Prison Service Iris Valera for the dreadful state of the country’s prisons. He accused her of “lying to the country and the international community over the past eight years, as she has been unable to end the issues of overcrowding, procedural delay, lack of leisure activities, corruption, violence, health problems, drug trafficking, and the use of weapons.”
Despite describing the problems listed above as the “seven capital sins,” Prado also pointed to the lack of medical attention and the appalling quality and quantity of food provided to inmates.
Around 40 percent of the nation’s 46,775 inmates are 18 to 30 years old. Around 65 percent of inmates were convicted of robbery, 20 percent on drug charges, ten percent of homicide, and five percent of rape. A total of 59 prisoners died in the first six months of 2019, with the most common causes of death being untreated tuberculosis and internal violence.
In May, 29 inmates were killed during a prison riot at a police station jail in the town of Acarigua, Portuguesa state, while in March last year, 68 people died in a fire at a jail in the northern city of Valencia. Similarly, in August 2017, a riot at a facility in the southern Amazonas state also left 37 prisoners dead. There have also been multiple reports of various gruesome activities, such as inmates eating rats, pigeons, and turning to cannibalism to stave off their hunger.
Some of the harshest conditions and human rights abuses are reserved for political prisoners, whose numbers have skyrocketed in recent years as the Maduro regime steps up its repression of opposition activists and politicians. Numerous witnesses have testified to the widespread use of torture and humiliation against them.
Many of these allegations were recently corroborated by the United Nations Human Rights Commissioner Michelle Bachelet, who charged the regime with “grave human rights violations” that included “arbitrary detentions, ill-treatment, and torture” of anti-government activists. She also noted that allegations of extrajudicial killings were “shockingly high.”

Just more presidential venting at Big Tech? Not exactly. Donald Trump took swipes at both Apple and Google over their work in China, and not just rhetorically. Google, a favorite target for populists on both sides of the political aisle, has long been criticized for their work in enabling oppression of speech in China, but Trump amplified a recent allegation that Google presents a national-security threat beyond that. Is it true? Trump leaves that question open, but says he’ll get an answer shortly
There may or may not be National Security concerns with regard to Google and their relationship with China. If there is a problem, we will find out about it. I sincerely hope there is not!!!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 26, 2019
Trump had already agreed to look into an allegation that Google was acting in a “treasonous” manner, a charge made by Silicon Valley and political heavyweight Peter Thiel. Last week at the National Conservatism Conference, Thiel posed three questions to get asked about the Internet giant:
“Number one, how many foreign intelligence agencies have infiltrated your Manhattan Project for AI?
“Number two, does Google’s senior management consider itself to have been thoroughly infiltrated by Chinese intelligence?
“Number three, is it because they consider themselves to be so thoroughly infiltrated that they have engaged in the seemingly treasonous decision to work with the Chinese military and not with the US military… because they are making the sort of bad, short-term rationalistic [decision] that if the technology doesn’t go out the front door, it gets stolen out the backdoor anyway?”
He also added that those questions “need to be asked by the FBI, by the CIA, and I’m not sure quite how to put this, I would like them to be asked in a not excessively gentle manner.”
At that time, Trump tweeted out that “the Trump administration will take a look.” Since then, the Department of Justice announced that it would open a review of anti-trust enforcement and the Big Tech companies, Google included, but that didn’t involve nat-sec issues. This is a pointed reminder that Trump’s still thinking about Google in other ways, and that Thiel’s allegations are being taken seriously … at least for public consumption.
That’s worrisome for Google, but at least Trump hasn’t hit them in the wallet. Apple didn’t fare as well today, with Trump announcing that the tech giant won’t get tariff waivers for which they applied recently. If they don’t want to have tariffs applied on their goods, Trump tweeted, they can build in the US instead:
Apple will not be given Tariff waiver, or relief, for Mac Pro parts that are made in China. Make them in the USA, no Tariffs!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 26, 2019
The costs won’t get started immediately, the Wall Street Journal reports, because those specific tariffs have not yet come into effect. When they do, however, Apple customers will have to pay even more for the high-end-priced Mac Pros. Larry Kudlow had a suggestion for Apple:
Earlier this year, Apple shifted Mac Pro production to China—its only major device that was being assembled in the U.S.—as trade tensions escalated between the Trump administration and Beijing, The Wall Street Journal reported last month. This week, the company filed a series of requests with the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, asking that the government exempt specific products from a proposed 25% tariff on goods imported from China.
While those tariffs haven’t yet been implemented, they would include electronics, which could severely impact Apple’s bottom line. …
Asked if Mr. Trump was denying Apple’s request for a waiver, Mr. Trump’s economic adviser Lawrence Kudlow told reporters, “He said what he said. That’s the president speaking. He is the decision-maker.”
“There’s some talk that they would be moving some of their production facilities to Texas,” Mr. Kudlow added, referring to Apple. “If they do that, that’d be a very good thing.”
All of this is good politics for Trump. Attacks on big tech play well with his populist base, as does hammering outsourcing by a major manufacturer — even if it will drive up costs in the short- and long-term. Trump’s squeezing Silicon Valley to force them into a tougher negotiating position on their political agendas as well as their practices when it comes to policing speech. It helps that neither of these tweets actually go so far as to have an immediate impact, which keeps the president from dealing with much backfire. It’s inexpensive, politically speaking.
It does raise one question, however. What happens if and when Trump reaches a trade deal with China? After all, his tariff war is not cost free, as we saw in today’s Q2 GDP report from the Bureau of Economic Analysis. At some point, Trump will want to declare victory, perhaps just in time for it to impact his general-election chances. If the China trade war ends, though, Trump loses a significant amount of his leverage over the Big Tech bêtes noires. That sets up an incentive to never quite get the agreement, although it’s possible that Trump will prioritize the economic gain over the political leverage. It just … bears watching, especially for skeptics of executive power.
Addendum: Of course, this is also an indirect attack on China. Trump decided to add another more directly:
The WTO is BROKEN when the world’s RICHEST countries claim to be developing countries to avoid WTO rules and get special treatment. NO more!!! Today I directed the U.S. Trade Representative to take action so that countries stop CHEATING the system at the expense of the USA!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 26, 2019
It’s not clear what the USTR can do about this situation except pressure the WTO into tougher enforcement. They’re already under pressure in the US-China dispute, since our allies want it resolved in the WTO. It sounds more like a threat to make them completely irrelevant. That would light a bigger fire under them too.
Update: As our friend Justin from Texas reminds me, it’s the Mac Pros that are at issue in these tariffs, not the Macbooks. I’ve corrected it above. While writing on … my Mac Pro. *sigh*

For months, Democrats including New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have given the impression that U.S. immigration detention centers are tantamount to Holocaust concentration camps. The freshman congresswoman led the litany of allegations against ICE facilities, as she asserted via Twitter that law enforcement officials were treating illegal immigrants as if they’re sub-humans.

The candidate is now pandering to Trump voters in order to win the Republican primary against Saladino, despite her opposition to ending DACA, the border wall and his proposed travel ban.
In 2017, while she was running for mayor against Bill de Blasio, Malliotakis said that she had voted for Trump because he was the nominee, but wished she had wrote in Marco Rubio instead.
“I’d write in Marco Rubio…I’d write in Marco Rubio so that I could tell you I voted Marco Rubio,” Malliotakis told the Daily News about what she would do if she had a chance to change her vote.
Malliotakis’ stated reasons for disliking Trump sound more like a liberal Democrat’s than a Republican’s: “his proposed ban on transgender service members, his plans to suspend DACA, his promise to build a border wall and his travel ban.”
NeverTrumper Malliotakis also discussed her voter’s remorse on camera with Spectrum News NY1.
Now that she needs the support of the pro-Trump Republican base, she has drastically changed her tune — often praising the president in public comments. She seems to be hoping that Republican primary voters forget her radically anti-Trump positions.
Malliotakis might be in trouble, because her primary opponent, YouTube star Joseph Saladino (better known as “Joey Salads”) has an unbroken track record of supporting the Trumpist agenda.
The Staten Island native lists slowing economic opportunity for the area’s youth, ever increasing taxes, and the growing opioid addiction crisis as some of the top issues he will be addressing with his campaign. He is well-known for his comedic videos running pranks on unsuspecting strangers — they are generally not overtly political in nature.
He supports ending DACA, building a wall and does not regret voting for the president — telling TGP that he’s been “MAGA since birth.”
Got this from Trump when I was born,
I was MAGA since day one. pic.twitter.com/sziooUiW0i— Saladino for Congress (@JoeySalads) July 8, 2019
“DACA has directly lead to a massive increase in children being smuggled across the border,” Saladino told the Gateway Pundit.
Saladino has nearly 2.5 million followers on YouTube and Facebook, as well as 82,000 on Twitter. According to a statement from his campaign, his work gets over one billion views on social media per year.
Saladino recently made headlines for filing a lawsuit against Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for blocking him on Twitter. His lawsuit came in response a decision from the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals that President Donald Trump cannot block people on social media because it is a public forum.
Ocasio-Cortez blocked Saladino in May, shortly after he announced his candidacy, according to a press release from his campaign.
“I’m suing AOC because we need to be able to have a strong and vigorous debate between the parties, otherwise our fragile system of ideas and representation breaks down,” Saladino said. “Though she is not in a position of power, she is the voice of her generation of Democrat voters, and bigger than some of the Presidential candidates.”
Saladino posted a video of himself filing the lawsuit on his YouTube channel.
“If we can’t talk to one another, the whole system breaks down.” Saladino continued. “Look what is happening in my district when entrenched NeverTrumpers are confronted by America First ideas. Like it or not we live in the same city and we need to be professional.”

83-year-old U.S. District Judge William Bertelsman, a Jimmy Carter appointee dismissed the $250 million lawsuit filed by Covington Catholic student Nick Sandmann against the Washington Post.
Cincinnati.com reported:
The $250 million lawsuit filed by Nick Sandmann against the Washington Post has been dismissed by a federal judge.
U.S. District Judge William Bertelsman, who heard oral arguments earlier this month, issued the ruling on Friday in the case that garnered national attention. Nick became embroiled in a divisive response to an encounter between him, his Covington Catholic High classmates and Native Americans on the National Mall.
The Washington Post, in a statement, said it was pleased by the dismissal.
“From our first story on this incident to our last, we sought to report fairly and accurately the facts that could be established from available evidence, the perspectives of all of the participants, and the comments of the responsible church and school officials,” The Post said through a spokesperson.
Lin Wood, the high-profile attorney representing Covington Catholic student Nick Sandmann, filed a $250 million lawsuit against the Washington Post for defamation in February.
The lawsuit claims that the paper “vilified” the student that was seen in a viral video being confronted by far-left activist Nathan Phillips because of the fact that he is white.
Filed in the U.S. District Court in Kentucky, the 38-page complaint says that “the Post wrongfully targeted and bullied Nicholas because he was the white, Catholic student wearing a red ‘Make America Great Again’ souvenir cap on a school field trip to the January 18 March for Life in Washington, D.C. when he was unexpectedly and suddenly confronted by Nathan Phillips (‘Phillips’), a known Native American activist, who beat a drum and sang loudly within inches of his face (‘the January 18 incident’).”
The Sandmann family is planning to appeal Judge Bertelsman’s ruling, according to attorney L. Lin Wood.
Attorney Robert Barnes, who is representing other people involved in Covingtongate in a separate suit said Friday’s ruling will not stop the suit for the other boys he represents.
Not my suit. Different case, different facts. Will not stop the suits for the other boys I represent.
