Conservatives welcome. Libs & RINOs go away. It's all of you destroying the society and conservatives must no longer appease you!
Let the triggering begin! Via Daily Caller: The White House is considering a proposal to make it easier to deport low-income immigrants who are dependent on public benefits. The Department of Justice has written a draft regulation that, if implemented, would greatly expand the number of immigrants in the U.S. who could be subject to […]

Several abortion survivors described their accounts to the crowd ahead of the 4D ultrasound demonstration. A crowd was gathered for the event that Focus on the Family planned in just under two weeks.
Pro-life advocates took turns on the stage praying and proclaiming the sanctity of human life.
Alveda King spoke of having an ultrasound in the 1970s after having a live birth, two abortions, and a miscarriage. “I saw a little baby, a beating heart, a live baby, and I said my God, my uncle is right, injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere,” said the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. “A woman has the right to choose what she does with her body, but the baby is not her body,” King continued. “Where’s the lawyer for the baby?”
“How can the dream survive if we murder the children,” said King. She spoke in support of women’s health, adding, “There has to be a way to serve all of humanity without killing humanity.”
Family Institute of Connecticut Communications Christina Bennett told the story of a janitor who approached her mother in an abortion clinic and encouraged her before her mother chose to keep her baby against the urging of the abortion doctor. The child her mother was carrying was heself and she proclaimed how grateful she is to be alive.
March for Life President Jeanne Mancini joined in hosting the event. She commended the crowd and stressed the importance of their witness and presence there.
Marjorie Dannenfelser of the Susan B. Anthony List recalled her past pro-choice stance on abortion and the impact of looking at an ultrasound, asking herself what is that when looking at a pre-born baby. She said aborted black babies outnumber those born alive in New York City and one third of hispanic babies are aborted in the city.
One of the hosts said he had been told it was one of the largest pro-life events in New York history. He told the crowd they were a “voice for the voiceless” and how thankful they are for all of those in attendance. He added that they planned the event in 12 weeks.
Pastor Carter Conlon prayed over the event. Pastor Peter Byrne of the Archdiocese of New York thanked Focus on the Family before Archbishop of New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan addressed the event through a video message.
Dolan thanked those gathered and pointed to an “unprecedented attack against human rights of the pre-born infant” in New York. He spoke to those experiencing an unplanned pregnancy, terminal diagnosis, or grieving an abortion, “you’re not alone.” He added that “in this season of Easter we know that new life has been given, life everlasting.”
“Life is never a threat or a burden, always a profound gift to be loved, cherished, and respected,” said Dolan.
Christian recording artist Francesca Battistelli performed a number of songs live on stage at the opening of the event.
Clips of the movie Unplanned were played during parts of the live online broadcast. Lead actress in the movie Ashley Bratcher learned she was almost aborted herself. Her mom revealed the story after Ashley told her mom she took the Unplanned role.
Hosts of the event interviewed attendees who expressed the importance to them of being there.
A live stream was provided by Focus on the Family.

Fox News remained in first place.
Throughout last month, CNN’s average total audience during the all-important primetime hours was a humiliating 767,000. CNN was not even able to attract a million average viewers. Fox News more than tripled the fake news outlet with 2.4 million viewers. MSNBC more than doubled CNN with 1.66 million.
When compared to this same month last year, there is just no question CNN has collapsed further than anyone thought possible, at least when talking about a fake news outlet already in far last place and scraping a barrel bottom.
Compared to April of 2018, CNN lost an incredible 25 percent of its total day viewers, a whopping 26 percent of its primetime viewers. The Hate Network suffered an even more serious beating in the advertiser-coveted 25-54 age group.
A whopping 41 percent of that demo tuned out of CNN’s prime time schedule, while 37 percent tuned out throughout the day.
TV Newser adds, “Few, if any, cable networks experienced a similar year-over-year drop off. It’s also the most significant drop off of cable news’ big three.”
Obviously, the chickens have come home to roost.
On top of CNN’s hysterical biases and prejudices, on top of its unholy embrace of political violence against Trump supporters, the Russia Collusion Hoax was obviously the last straw with its few remaining viewers.
For more than five years, under the misguided and amoral leadership of Jeff Zucker, CNN has perpetrated one hoax after another after another against the public.
And now the public has finally had enough. The Mueller Report, the summation of a $35 million investigation waged by left-wing partisans for two years, found President Trump guilty of exactly nothing. This was a disaster for CNN, which had spent more than two years not only spreading more fake news on this hoax than any other news outlet, but repeatedly assuring its viewers the “walls are closing in” on Trump, and that he would be arrested after this word from our sponsors.
Let me put it this way… things are so bad at CNN that it could not place even one show in the top 30 on Friday. There are only three cable news networks, and CNN could not break into the top 30 with only two competitors.
Nevertheless, because 89 million suckers who don’t watch CNN still subsidize it, CNN marches on.

The Trump administration sent a sizable delegation, led by U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, who was joined by: U.S. Ambassador to Poland Georgette Mosbacher; U.S. Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell; U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See Callista Gingrich; U.S. Ambassador to Switzerland and Lichtenstein Ed McMullen; U.S. Ambassador to Spain Duke Buchan; Special Envoy for Monitoring and Combating Antisemitism Elan Carr; and Chairman of the Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad Paul Packer.
Carr had just arrived from San Diego, where he delivered a stirring eulogy at the funeral of Lori Gilbert Kaye, the woman who sacrificed her life to save her rabbi during the synagogue shooting in Poway, California, last Saturday. “We are at war” with antisemitism, Carr declared.
The March of the Living is a procession from the infamous gate (“Arbeit Macht Frei”) of the Auschwitz concentration camp to the entrance of the Birkenau death camp, three kilometers away. The march includes Holocaust survivors and their families, as well as youth groups, civil society organizations, and government officials — usually from Poland and Israel.
While somber, the March of the Living also celebrates the continuity of Jewish life, and the success of the State of Israel, in defiance of those who sought to extinguish the Jewish people during the Second World War, and those who continue to do so.

BuzzFeed reports that the proposed Mastercard human rights committee would “stop designated white supremacist groups and anti-Islam activists, such as Tommy Robinson, from getting access to money sent from donors using the company’s card payment services.”
The Board of Mastercard has opposed the proposal, urging stockholders to vote against it.
The proposal was submitted for a vote at Mastercard’s upcoming meeting of stockholders on June 25, 2019. The proposal was submitted by left-wing advocacy organization ThisIsUs, whose board members are linked to Color of Change, a group that has been pressuring banks, payment processors, and credit card companies to cut off service to right-wingers, Islam critics, and critics of progressivism.
In its supporting statement, ThisIsUs wrote:
Companies can face risks related to human rights even when they only perform support functions. Internet infrastructure companies like web host GoDaddy, social media platform Facebook and payments firm PayPal have come under pressure for doing business with or providing a forum for neo-Nazis and other hate groups. Mastercard has received negative publicity for processing of payments to white supremacist groups. “Organizers Catch Credit Card Companies Profiting From White Supremacy: Online payment companies are complicit in authorizing transactions related to hate groups,” AlterNet, August 22, 2017; and “Color Of Change Is Attacking Hate Groups At The Source: Their Funding,” Fast Company, August 21, 2017. According to the website bloodmoney.org (accessed on December 18, 2018), Mastercard continues to process payments for organizations such as American Border Patrol, League of the South, Proud Boys and Stormfront.
In response, the board of Mastercard recommended that stockholders vote against the proposal, stating that the company operates on the principle that consumers should be able to make “all lawful purchases.”
The Proposal focuses on the use of our products by certain organizations. We operate our network on the principle that consumers should be able to make all lawful purchases, and our franchise rules ensure compliance with the laws pertaining to the acceptable use of our payment processing services by merchants, acquirers and issuers. We regularly monitor activities involving our products and services for any alleged illegal use. When we process payment transactions, we do not have visibility into goods that are purchased or the use of those goods. When we are made aware of illegal activity or rules violations, we work closely with law enforcement and acquirers to shut down those activities.
Accordingly, because Mastercard has a committee with oversight over issues of corporate social responsibility and has disclosed its commitment to and oversight of human rights issues, the Board does not believe that establishing a separate human rights committee is necessary to properly exercise its oversight of this important area, nor does it add to Mastercard’s existing commitment to social responsibility and human rights.Therefore, our Board recommends that our stockholders vote AGAINST this joint proposal.
Although Mastercard’s board says it is committed to the principle of allowing “all lawful purchases,” online payments platform Patreon
that Mastercard asked it to withdraw service from Islam critic Robert Spencer, founder of JihadWatch.org, in August 2018.
Mastercard has yet to respond to a Breitbart News inquiry into why, if Patreon’s allegation is true, the company used its influence to cut off Spencer.

As the socialist country of Venezuela falls apart before our eyes — once the wealthiest country in South America, and now, after decades of socialism, a failed state — it is troubling to note that many in my generation wish to adopt the same system that led directly to the chaos we are seeing in that country. Almost half of those in the Millennial and Generation Z generations say they would prefer to live under socialism, and they are being rapidly herded to that position by the the prominent avowed socialists in the Democratic Party like Bernie Sander and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Following demographic trends, it is not inconceivable that we could have our own Venezuela moment in another 20 or 30 years.
But for anyone still on the fence about whether to advocate socialism or not, I think there is a very simple test that should clarify things for you. Take a look at the socialist countries in the world today. Would you like to live in any of these places? If socialism is a good idea — let alone a path to Utopia, which is how AOC presents it — then there should be in existence today a number of socialist countries that you, a socialist, might consider moving to. So, which one? Venezuela? North Korea? China? Tanzania? Sri Lanka? Nicaragua? Would you even want to spend a weekend in any of these places?
Of course, the socialist sympathizer in America will immediately cite Denmark or Sweden as socialist successes. The problem with calling the Nordic countries socialist successes is that they are not socialist at ll. Let the Prime Minster of Denmark speak for himself on the topic:
I know that some people in the US associate the Nordic model with some sort of socialism. Therefore I would like to make one thing clear. Denmark is far from a socialist planned economy. Denmark is a market economy.
It seems a cottage near Copenhagen is out of the picture. The closest thing you can find to a socialist success story is Bolivia, which is not really a socialist success story. And, at any rate, would you actually want to live in Bolivia? Would you prefer it to here?
We could expand this hypothetical search to include historical places. Let’s say you could take either a plane or a time machine to your destination of choice. Which State-controlled wonderland of the past would you go for? Soviet Russia? Nazi Germany? Cambodia? Socialism and communism killed 100 million in the 20th century (and counting), so you might want to think twice before heading in any of those directions.
We can talk about the economic and philosophical problems inherent to the socialist model, but the proof is in the pudding. And this particular pudding is made with misery and starvation and tyranny and death on a scale previously unknown to mankind. Perhaps we should take the hint. One or two examples of socialism failing might not be enough to discredit it. But a century of chaos, bloodshed, and poverty brought on by this system of governance should be a sufficient sample size. If you’re still not convinced, flights to North Korea are pretty affordable. Just try not to get arrested and tortured to death while you’re there.

On April 24, Breitbart News reported that the legislation, SB 7030, had passed the Florida Senate and was headed to the House. WJCT reported that SB 7030 passed by a vote of 22-17, with every Senate Democrat voting against giving teachers the option of being armed for classroom defense.
The Tampa Bay Times reported that the bill passed the House by a vote of 65-47.
SB 7030 was written in response to the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Commission, an investigatory commission which found the armed teachers could have made a difference in the February 14, 2018, Parkland shooting.
The commission was headed by Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri, who spoke out in favor of arming teachers as the investigation concluded. The Associated Press quoted Gualtieri saying, “People need to keep an open mind to it as the reality is that if someone else in that school had a gun it could have saved kids’ lives.”
One Florida House Democrat–Rep. Shevrin Jones (West Park)–unsuccessfully pushed to add “implicit bias training” to SB 7030. He said, “I asked for implicit bias training because we’re talking about black boys and girls that are getting murdered by police officers! … There are bad police officers and there are bad teachers.”

Jay DeMarcus told TODAY hosts Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager that writing his new memoir Shotgun Angels was like “being in therapy” because of having to relive the painful moments of his life.
The memoir, DeMarcus said, is really a tribute to his mother, whose strong Christian faith served as the seedbed for his own relationship with Christ.
“I attribute a lot of who I am today to the foundation that she laid early on in my life by dragging us to church like three or four times a week,” Jay DeMarcus said with a smile. “Sometimes I thought we should just have a bed there and save money on the gas and time going back and forth.”
“I realized later on in life that she was planting seeds of faith in me that would take really, really strong roots the older I got and I really, really leaned on it through some really tough times there in Nashville trying to make it in the music business,” he said.
In language rarely heard on Today, DeMarcus said that he is not ashamed of being a Christian.
“I find my hope in a relationship with Christ,” he said. “Being a believer is not about being perfect by any means. It’s simply admitting that we need help.”
“For me, I found the toughest times of my life to be better by having a strong relationship with Christ that I could lean upon,” he said.

“We’ve really gotten away from the Christian principles that the country was founded upon,” Jay DeMarcus told host Tom Shillue on Fox News Radio Tuesday. “But the further and further we get from it the more I feel like our country and our world sinks more into darkness and it’s disturbing to me.”
DeMarcus said that his Christian faith has gotten him through many tough situations in his life and he only wishes other people might give God a chance.
“I think you have to do is be real about the situation that we live in and be real about your life and I know that when people go to their rooms and their closets and they’re by themselves people deal with deep hurt and deep pain and all I’m saying is there may be another solution out there,” he said.
“Being a believer is not about being perfect,” DeMarcus said. “It’s about admitting that you need help. We’re all broken, flawed individuals put on this world that aren’t meant to do this alone.”
Saying he does not like to climb up on a “soapbox,” DeMarcus said that for him, Christianity has a powerful message of hope.
“We need somebody that I believe is greater than us that sent his Son to die for us and at the end of the day that has been a strong source of strength and hope for me in my own life and I believe it can be for other people,” he added.

State police from the Secretaría de Seguridad Pública (SSP) halted a suspicious caravan of four vehicles traveling along the Minatitlán-Acayucan Highway earlier this week in the municipality of Texistepec. State police identified six human smugglers and placed them into custody, according to local reports. The smugglers were identified as Ernesto “N,” 18, Olíver and Víctor Alonso “N,” 30, all from Chiapas. The other three smugglers were identified as René “N,” 35, Jorge “N,” 46, and Víctor Manuel “N,” 37, from Veracruz.
Authorities reported that of the 60, 29 were men, nine women, and 22 minors. The smugglers were turned over to the federal attorney general’s office. The 60 were placed into the custody of Instituto Nacional de Migración (INM).
Mexico is seeing a sharp increase in Central American migrants entering the country to reach the U.S. border and request asylum. This practice has triggered human smuggling organizations into action. The flaws in U.S. immigration law created a pull factor, leading to record-setting border apprehension statistics. The asylum tactic is expected to result in approximately 900,000 migrants entering the U.S. in 2019, per estimates by the Department of Homeland Security.
The migration has caused a humanitarian crisis in which human smuggling organizations place migrants at extreme risk while hurriedly transporting them through Mexico to avoid detection. Breitbart News recently reported about a fatal crash that killed 23 migrants and injured 33 in Chiapas. The migrants were packed into a large cargo truck that went into a ravine.
In early April, human smugglers abandoned 155 migrants on a road in Pueblo, according to local reports.
In February, Mexican security authorities arrested a human smuggler transporting 39 migrants in Veracruz who tried to bribe officials with $10,000 pesos ($530 USD).
Breitbart News is told by local contacts that human smuggling organizations make promises of safe passage but instead often hold migrants for ransom.
