President Donald Trump arrived in the United Kingdom on Monday for an official state visit, and despite a prominent British leader’s attempt to sow dissent against the American leader, he was nevertheless warmly received by royalty and many Londoners alike. Prior to Trump’s arrival, London Mayor Sadiq Khan — who has made his hatred of…
Judge Trevor McFadden, a Trump appointee, ruled against House Democrats who tried to temporarily stop the President from using Pentagon funds for the border wall.
Judge McFadden ruled that House Democrats cannot go to court to block Trump from using military funds to build the wall “because the Constitution grants the House no standing to litigate these claims,” reported The Hill.
“To be clear, the Court does not imply that Congress may never sue the Executive to protect its powers,” McFadden wrote.
“This is a case about whether one chamber of Congress has the “constitutional means” to conscript the Judiciary in a political turf war with the President over the implementation of legislation. … [W]hile the Constitution bestows upon Members of the House many powers, it does not grant them standing to hale the Executive Branch into court claiming a dilution of Congress’s legislative authority. The Court therefore lacks jurisdiction to hear the House’s claims and will deny its motion.” – Judge Trevor McFadden
In February, President Trump declared a national emergency to divert funds from the Defense Department to pay for a portion of the border wall.
The crisis at the US-Mexico border is the worst it has ever been as over 100,000 illegal aliens flood across the border every month and the Democrats along with their activist judges are doing everything they can to prevent Trump from stopping the invasion.
Last week, California US District Court Judge Haywood Gilliam, an Obama appointee, issued a preliminary injunction on partially blocking President Trump’s $1 billion border wall plan.
The number of African-American students in New York’s selective high schools has crashed as more immigrant Asian students win seats — yet the problem is not the federal policy of mass immigration, says the New York Times.
The real cause is that fewer African-American and Latino students are enrolling in commercial cram courses, the newspaper insists:
For years, most who took the admissions test had little to no preparation. Today, test prep is a rapidly expanding local industry. At the same time, many accelerated academic programs in mostly black and Hispanic neighborhoods have closed as Asian immigrants have embraced the specialized high schools as tickets out of poverty.
…
As test prep has become all but a prerequisite over the last decade, advanced academic classes have evaporated for many black and Hispanic students.
The schools, such as Stuyvesant High School, play an outsized role in the city’s politics and culture because they have helped generations of clever working-class kids jump into the middle class. The article noted:
In interviews, more than a dozen black and Hispanic students who graduated from New York City’s specialized high schools from 1975 to 1995 described the schools as oases for smart children from troubled neighborhoods. But the alumni said they were anguished that the schools have since lost nearly all of their black and Hispanic students.
But the article’s graphics and the text undermine the ‘blame test-prep’ explanation.
Instead, the article reveals how the African-American and Latino shares of the schools have declined as the immigrant Asian share has risen.
The article’s text acknowledges the population shift:
White enrollment has also fallen while Asian enrollment has ballooned. Among the most drastic shifts: Brooklyn Technical High School’s black population dropped to 6 percent in 2016 from 51 percent in 1982 …
Black and Hispanic students currently represent 70 percent of the school system, but make up just 10 percent of the enrollment in the specialized schools.
…
From 1970 to 2011, the number of Asia-born immigrants living in New York City increased about eightfold to 843,000 from 105,000.
The New York Times article tries to hide another big shift amid the immigration — a huge drop in the share of school slots going to white students. For example, the percentage of white students in Stuyvesant fell from roughly 65 percent in 1976 to just 19 percent in 2016. During the same period, the percentage of black and Latino students fell from roughly 14 percent to just 4 percent, while the Asian percentage spiked to from roughly 17 percent to 74 percent.
While trying to blame test prep courses, the New York Times article tiptoes close to the central issue — immigration — which it indirectly and passively describes as “demographics.”
Since … 1978, the specialized school admissions process has been transformed by changes in the city’s demographics, its public school system and the culture around the schools’ entrance exam, which is at the center of the debate over the future of the elite schools.
Yet the city’s demographics are not a passive, inanimate thing, like gravity, earthquakes or the tides.
The city’s demographics are shaped by federal, state, and city policies, for example, which could try to encourage Americans to migrate to New York and to get married and have more kids.
But federal, state and city policies are instead encouraging the inflow of Asian immigrants, as part of the deliberate federal policy of stimulating the economy by legally importing 1 million foreign workers, consumers, and residents each year.
That huge foreign influx adds roughly one new legal immigrant for every four Americans who turn 18 each year. That influx is welcomed in New York City which has declared itself a “sanctuary city” to shield its roughly 500,000 cheap-labor illegal immigrant service workers from deportation. The illegal and legal cheap workers are a boon to the city’s elite, which gains cheaper services, higher rents and more wealth as more migrants crowd into the city’s labor market, apartments and groceries.
The federal policy also makes it difficult for Americans to have kids — especially in New York — because the flood of legal and illegal migrants cuts their wages and drives up their housing costs, especially for blue-collar Americans of every color and hue.
Two teenagers arrested months ago for allegedly gang-raping a 13-year-old girl in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, are illegal aliens, Breitbart News has confirmed.
Allan Rafael Cardenas Delcid, an 18-year-old illegal alien, and Jose Kevin Ortiz-Torres, a 19-year-old illegal alien, were arrested in April after police said they allegedly raped a 13-year-old girl at a local park trail.
Records obtained by Breitbart News reveal that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency has placed a detainer on Delcid, demanding that he be turned over to federal agents for deportation should he be released from custody at any time.
Likewise, ICE has also placed a detainer on Ortiz-Torres. A law enforcement official told Breitbart News that the illegal alien was in the process of being deported when he was arrested for rape.
In 2015, Ortiz-Torres was arrested by ICE after entering the country through the U.S.-Mexico border as an Unaccompanied Minor Child (UAC). His last immigration hearing was on April 4, 2018.
Police officers said they first discovered the 13-year-old girl in a car with the two illegal aliens while they were patrolling the area, but did not witness the alleged rape. Further evidence in the case led to the statutory rape charges against Delcid and Ortiz-Torres.

Actress and vocal Trump hater Bette Midler offered a quasi-apology after she was ripped online for sharing a widely-debunked meme of President Donald Trump with her 1.6 million Twitter followers. Offering her non-apology apology, the actress suggested it was Trump’s fault she shared the fake meme because he “lies” so much; she also spread another lie about Trump in the process of her “apology.”

The good news is… The thug got arrested.
And at one point one of the attackers tried to steal a skateboard and US flag from the Trump supporters.
The attacker was not able to get away with his crime. He got whacked instead.

Brandon told The Gateway Pundit — “It was a pro-Trump rally at the Federal Building in Los Angeles. At first it was just a pro-Trump rally.

Then later after Antifa left the area this guy parked his car and got out and started threatening people as the video shows.

In April, House Democrats sued the Trump administration claiming the President was violating Congress’ constitutional authority to appropriate funds by re-allocating money for his border wall. Today, a federal judge rejected that claim:
A federal judge in Washington on Monday denied a request by House Democrats to block President Donald Trump from transferring funds from appropriated accounts to construct his wall.
Judge Trevor McFadden said the House lacks standing to bring the challenge and also he does not believe the court should step into the fight between the President and Congress.
“The Court declines to take sides in this fight between the House and the President,” McFadden wrote.
Fox News reports that Judge McFadden found Congress had other means to address Trump’s spending if it was so inclined:
McFadden noted in particular that Democrats retained the power to modify or even repeal the appropriations law if they wanted to “exempt future appropriations” from the Trump administration’s reach…
“Congress has several political arrows in its quiver to counter perceived threats to its sphere of power,” McFadden wrote. “These tools show that this lawsuit is not a last resort for the House. And this fact is also exemplified by the many other cases across the country challenging the administration’s planned construction of the border wall.”
McFadden continued: “The House retains the institutional tools necessary to remedy any harm caused to this power by the Administration’s actions. Its Members can, with a two-thirds majority, override the President’s veto of the resolution voiding the National Emergency Declaration. They did not. It can amend appropriations laws to expressly restrict the transfer or spending of funds for a border wall under Sections 284 and 2808. Indeed, it appears to be doing so.”
Back in February, President Trump issued an emergency declaration on the border and announced his intent to redirect money that had already been appropriated by Congress toward the construction of the wall. Democrats, with some help from Republicans, passed a bill aimed at blocking President Trump from spending the money in March. President Trump vetoed the bill the day after it passed the Senate. It was the first veto of his presidency. With that effort having failed, Democrats sued the administration.
Judge McFadden himself expected the case would be appealed regardless of what decision he reached. “I’m not sure how much necessarily our views will carry the day for the courts above us,” he said at a hearing last month.
