Ask PolitiFact: Is Tren de Aragua invading the US, as Trump says? Legal experts say no.– www.politifact.com

Excerpt:

As justification for deporting some immigrants in the country illegally without due process, President Donald Trump said the U.S. is under invasion.

“Evidence irrefutably demonstrates that (Tren de Aragua) has invaded the United States,” a March 15 White House proclamation said. Tren de Aragua is a Venezuela-based gang with some U.S. presence.

The proclamation says Tren de Aragua “is a hybrid criminal state that is perpetrating an invasion of and predatory incursion into the United States,” and so any person 14 years or older who is a Tren de Aragua member and who has neither U.S. citizenship nor permanent residency can be arrested, detained and deported using the Alien Enemies Act.

Trump and his allies have referred to illegal immigration as an invasion for years, and Trump’s move to use the 1798 Alien Enemies Act for deportations hinges on this characterization. To invoke the law, the U.S. has to be at war or under invasion by a foreign

Roberts’ Obsession With SCOTUS Legitimacy Has Delegitimized It– thefederalist.com

Excerpt:

The chief irony of Chief Justice John Roberts’ tenure at the Supreme Court is that the man so doggedly devoted to defending the judiciary has done so much to undermine it. In so doing, he has threatened not only the court’s legitimacy but the republic itself.

His latest such act wasn’t an abomination of a ruling on the level of Obamacare, the census citizenship question, or DACA; a faulty probe into a devastating leak; or a defense of the indefensible censorship-industrial complex. It was a terse three-line statement that may prove the most consequential — and corrosive — move of them all.

“For more than two centuries,” the chief justice wrote, “it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose.”

US Navy, Coast Guard end abortion funding after Trump executive order– www.lifesitenews.com

Excerpt:

In 2022, the Pentagon said it would pay for service members’ abortion-related travel. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin stated that the overturning of Roe v. Wade, along with pro-life laws in some states, would affect “readiness, recruiting, and retention implications” for the U.S. military. Therefore, service members and their defendants would be reimbursed for expenses incurred when seeking induced abortions to intentionally end the lives of their preborn children.

After President Donald Trump was inaugurated for the second time in January, he issued an executive order reinforcing the Hyde Amendment, which prevents federal dollars from funding most abortions. As a result, the DOD released a memo confirming it would no longer fund abortion-related travel.

Earlier in March, the Navy announced it would halt abortion-related leave and funding for abortion travel, following the DOD directive. Now, in a memo, the Coast Guard has also confirmed that abortion travel expenses will not be reimbursed, and Coast Guardsmen will not be granted administrative leave for abortion.

Luigi Mangione court date postponed as his lawyers question evidence– www.washingtonexaminer.com

Excerpt:

Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old accused of killing United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, was scheduled to appear in federal court in New York City on Wednesday, but his court date was postponed to next month.

Mangione’s legal team has argued that Mangione’s rights were violated when he was arrested because they say he wasn’t read his Miranda rights and that authorities collected his DNA illegally by offering him a snack and drink before he was arrested. His next federal court appearance is scheduled for April 18.

The accused assassin was apprehended at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, five days after Thompson was shot in the back in New York City on his way to an investor conference on Dec. 4.

Anti-DOGE site appears to dox Tesla owners, map out possible targets for destructive protests– www.theblaze.com

A now-removed website, “Dogequest,” purportedly doxxed Tesla owners around the nation and mapped out possible targets for destructive protesters.

A report by 404 Media stated that the website featured a searchable map that claimed to display the locations of Tesla dealerships and charging stations, as well as the names, home addresses, phone numbers, and emails of Tesla owners. It also reportedly included the personal information of Department of Government Efficiency employees.

‘This extreme amount of hatred and violence is because we’re actually succeeding in getting rid of corruption and waste.’

It is unclear how this information was collected.

Spoiler Alert — Trump Is Going to Outlast Wearisome Activist Judges – PJ Media– pjmedia.com

Excerpt:

One of the greatest political books I’ve ever read was written almost thirty years ago by the late, great Robert Bork, the brilliant jurist who was kept off the of the Supreme Court in 1987 by a couple of lying scumbag United States Senators named Ted Kennedy and Joe Biden. Yeah, that’s a painful reminder that the younger, semi-coherent (he was always a little off) Biden was just as bad for America as the drooling spaz who spent the last four years autopenning the country into oblivion.

The book was titled “Slouching Towards Gomorrah: Modern Liberalism and American Decline.” As far as prophetic political tomes written in my adult lifetime go, it was surpassed only by Mark Steyn’s “America Alone: The End of the World As We Know It.”

The thing that stuck with me the most when I read “Slouching Towards Gomorrah” shortly after it was published was Bork’s warning about the growing, dangerous role that liberal activist judges would play in wreaking havoc here in the United States. There were already signs of that when the book was published in the late ’90s. However, what we’re dealing with today makes Bork look like the second coming of Nostradamus.

We’ve been subjected to the tawdry spectacle of activist judges doing whatever they wish with the law in order to keep Donald Trump from returning to the presidency. Since that didn’t work and he’s once again President Trump, the hyperactive, extrajudicial loons are throwing tantrums in an effort to thwart his agenda.

Jimmy Kimmel Seemingly Endorses Violence Against Tesla Dealers, Owners– trendingpoliticsnews.com

Excerpt:

Jimmy Kimmel appeared to endorse violent attacks on Tesla dealerships and owners — some of which have involved homemade explosive devices — during Tuesday’s edition of Jimmy Kimmel Live.

The alleged comedian began by pointing to the recent dip in the Musk-owned company’s stock price, which comes amidst a market-wide rough couple of weeks. “Our co-president Elon Musk sent a SpaceX vehicle to bring the astronauts back and when they landed he fired them immediately upon landing. Tesla stock is way down, almost disastrously so,” Kimmel claimed.

The joke drew loud cheers from the audience, even though Tesla’s stock price is still up 38 percent over the past year. Kimmel then addressed the recent acts of vandalism against Tesla vehicles that have been plaguing the country in recent weeks.

“People have been vandalizing Tesla vehicles, new Tesla vehicles. Please don’t vandalize, don’t ever vandalize Tesla vehicles,” Kimmel said before briefly pausing and looking into the camera. The crowd then laughed at the ABC host’s wink and nod at political violence.

Tough road to impeaching judges runs through House Judiciary Committee– www.washingtonexaminer.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

The House Judiciary Committee will take early steps to investigate federal judges who have blocked President Donald Trump‘s executive agenda as the president and hard-line House Republicans push for impeachment.

After weeks of House GOP lawmakers and Trump blasting federal judges for blocking executive actions such as illegal immigrant deportations, Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) heeded the president’s calls and filed articles of impeachment against James E. Boasberg, the chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

A handful of other judges face impeachment attempts from House Republicans after ruling against Trump this year, including Judge Paul Engelmayer of the Southern District of New York and Judges Amir Ali and John Bates out of Washington, D.C.

House Republicans could take initial steps on investigating judges as soon as next week when they return to Washington, though an exact time frame has not been established.

Farmer uses his chickens to illustrate a 15-minute city– www.louderwithcrowder.com

Excerpt:

You may have heard of the concept of a 15-minute city and are wondering what one is. Here is a farmer to explain with chickens.

Before we start, the idea of a “15-minute city” tends to be fodder for conspiracy theorists. As if there is a grand cabal of global elites looking to control people by limiting them to a fifteen-minute radius and use other dystopian methods to control every aspect of their lives. Get those dark thoughts out of your head.

As WikiPedia tells us, a 15-minute city is nothing more than an “urban planning concept in which most daily necessities and services, such as work, shopping, education, healthcare, and leisure can be easily reached by a 15-minute walk or bike ride from any point in the city” to “reduce car dependency, promote healthy and sustainable living, and improve the overall quality of life for city dwellers.”

Got it? Now here is the farmer with his chickens.

Yes, Dems’ Favorability Just Hit Record Lows, But 1992 Offers a Cautionary Tale– legalinsurrection.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

Republicans are celebrating new polls from NBC News and CNN, which show the Democratic Party at its lowest favorability since 1990 and 1992, respectively. While this is encouraging for the GOP, history serves as a reminder that despite similarly bleak numbers, Bill Clinton still won the presidency in 1992.

An NBC News poll released on Sunday found that only 27% of respondents have a positive view of the Democratic Party—the lowest rating since 1990. Among them, just 7% described their views as ‘very’ positive.

That same day, a CNN poll found that 29% of respondents had a “favorable” view of the Democratic Party—a level not seen since 1992. For context, when President Joe Biden took office in January 2021, just two weeks after the January 6 Capitol riot, the party’s favorability stood at 49%.

These results are certainly encouraging for Republicans. Given the Democratic Party’s increasingly aggressive “whatever it takes” approach to politics over the past decade—an approach that some argue is both unethical and potentially illegal—this decline in favorability is hardly surprising. Rather than offering original policy ideas or working with Republicans on issues that matter to most voters, Democratic lawmakers have focused their efforts almost entirely on obstructing President Donald Trump’s agenda.

Biden Claimed He Created Jobs, But Almost ALL of Them went to Illegals– lidblog.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

 

Joe Biden repeatedly claimed he created millions of jobs as president, but it turns out almost all of them went to illegal aliens.

Peter Navarro, the senior counselor for trade and manufacturing for President Donald Trump, told Breitbart News that the Biden administration told a lot of lies about the economy under Biden.

Per Breitbart News:

“Both capital and labor are mobile, okay. Now think about that. So, depending on conditions, you’re in Britain, right, labor is mobile, and the next thing you know, you got the world coming in to your factories willing to undercut your wages by a significant amount,” Navarro said. “And then soon, everybody in these blue-collar English towns are speaking Polish or Czechoslovakian and whatever.”

Under former President Joe Biden, Navarro said, roughly all new job growth went to illegal aliens and legal immigrants, not American citizens.

“Immigration is fine if it benefits a country, but [not] if it totally destroys a country,” Navarro said.
