President Trump Readies Pen to Reverse Anti-gun Executive Orders

   Gun Owners of America

Washington, DC -(Ammoland.com)- In one of the first pro-gun actions of his administration, President Donald Trump is expected to shortly move to revoke Barack Obama’s illegal actions to effectively outlaw gun collecting.
Obama’s anti-gun “executive action” was announced on January 6, 2016 — in the wake of Obama’s unsuccessful attempt to scapegoat law-abiding gun owners for the actions of a Muslim terrorist in San Bernardino.
Obama’s action was implemented as a “clarification” because he knew that his lawless moves could never pass muster under the rule-making procedures of the Administrative Procedures Act.
Under Obama’s now-moribund “clarification,” a gun owner could have been imprisoned for up to five years and fined $250,000 for “only one or two [firearms] transactions,” according to a White House fact sheet.
Note that, under Clinton, tens of thousands of licensees lost their licenses because they didn’t have “brick-or-mortar” stores.

Now, in a Clinton/Obama Mutt-and-Jeff routine, Obama proposed to imprison hobbyists who didn’t have licenses because the government refused to issue licenses to them.

Hence, a hobbyist who bought a firearm one day and sold it the next day at a profit could go to prison for five years. Obviously, the intent was to create such a cloud of ambiguity that gun owners would refrain from constitutionally protected activity (private firearms sales), for fear that they would run afoul of Obama’s amorphous rules.
Tragically, in some cases, Obama’s unlawful actions had exactly the intended effect.
But, thanks to President Donald Trump, Obama’s unlawful action will soon be repealed — as one of the priority actions of the incoming administration.
Gun Owners of America is optimistic that this is only the first in a series of Trump actions overturning illegal Obama actions.

We are also asking for Trump administration action:

• Removing the U.S. from the Anti-Gun UN Arms Trade Treaty;
• Repealing bullet and gun import bans going from Obama back to George H. W. Bush’s semi-auto import ban;
• Repealing the suspension of health privacy laws with respect to gun owners;
• Repealing executive actions encouraging doctors to inquire about gun ownership and to enter this information into a federal health database;
• Restoring gun rights for 257,000 law-abiding veterans;
• Repealing Obama’s efforts to strip Social Security recipients of their guns, merely because a guardian processes their checks.

There is an old joke that goes: “What do you call 10,000 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean? Answer: A good start.”

The work of restoring the Second Amendment to its God-given status has only just begun.
But the important thing is that it has begun.

TRUMP BANS CANADIAN-BRITISH DUAL CITIZENS FROM 7 MUSLIM COUNTRIES FROM U.S.

TRUMP BANS CANADIAN-BRITISH DUAL CITIZENS FROM 7 MUSLIM COUNTRIES FROM U.S.

Says the Toronto Star:

U.S. President Donald Trump’s new executive order has created mass confusion around the world.

Trump’s “America first” policy is a decisive rejection of the mess that Angela Merkel and other European leaders have created in Europe. But the same cannot be said for Canada. Trudeau’s reaction:

On Twitter, Trudeau posted photos of himself greeting Syrian refugees, adding the words “#WelcomeToCanada.”
“To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength #WelcomeToCanada,”

Trump’s order also applies to Britain. While it led to uproar from British MP’s, Prime Minister Theresa May surprisingly commented: “The United States is responsible for the United States’s policy on refugees.” In fact, she “refused twice to publicly condemn Mr Trump’s ban on refugees from those seven countries earlier in the day during a press conference in Turkey.”
Although May has expressed open support for Sharia courts in Britain despite their shocking abuses, she has also made it clear that she is reserved on flinging open the doors of the UK completely. Some of her stated views:

She warned that “millions” of people wanted to migrate to the UK.
She said Britain should focus on aid rather than helping refugees who had travelled to Europe.
She argued that immigrants could make society less “cohesive”.
She blamed immigrants for pressures on public services.
She blamed unemployment, the housing crisis, and under-investment in schools on immigration.
She claimed EU immigration was “unbalanced” and “unsustainable” – and that the rules had to change.
She suggested asylum seekers should not even be allowed into Britain before their claims were assessed.

“Trump bans Canadian dual citizens from 7 Muslim-majority countries from U.S.”, Toronto Star, by Daniel Dale, January 28, 2017:

WASHINGTON—Canadian citizens who are also citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries have been banned from entering the United States by President Donald Trump in a massive break from the traditional free flow of travelers between citizens of the two countries.
The countries targeted by Trump’s 90-day ban are Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. Tens of thousands of Canadians have dual citizenship in one of them.
Trump’s Friday order even bars entry to the U.S. by permanent residents with “green cards” who are also citizens of one of the countries. That means, for example, that an Iranian-Canadian green card holder who makes her home in Chicago cannot come to Canada to visit her parents and then cross back over the U.S. border.
The order has created mass confusion around the world as governments, businesses and ordinary people attempted to decipher just what Trump meant. It is still not exactly clear. After the Homeland Security Department said green card holders would be banned, a Trump official told U.S. outlets that they could be approved on a “case-by-case basis” and would have to check in with a government official before leaving each time.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his ministers had not commented directly on the order as of Saturday at 5 p.m. On Twitter, Trudeau posted photos of himself greeting Syrian refugees, adding the words “#WelcomeToCanada.”
“To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength #WelcomeToCanada,” Trudeau wrote.

3:20 PM – 28 Jan 2017
The order has resulted in travelers with visas to enter America being turned away from their flights and detained at U.S. airports upon landing. One of the people detained, according to multiple U.S. news reports, worked as an interpreter for the U.S. military in Iraq.
Air Canada, WestJet and Porter Airlines are no longer letting people carrying passports from the seven countries board flights to the U.S. All three are waiving their cancellation fees.
The order is a modified version of the “total” ban on Muslim entry that Trump proposed during his campaign. It was greeted with dismay, horror and panic by Canadians from the affected countries…..

“British passport holders in US entry battle as Donald Trump bans travelers from seven Muslim countries and court rules those who arrived with visas can stay”, by Ben Riley-Smith, UK Telegraph, January 28, 2017:

British citizens traveling to America on UK passports will be blocked from entering if they have dual-citizenship with countries targeted in Donald Trump’s refugees banned.
The US State Department said that Britons with dual nationality with the countries Syria, Iraq, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen will be stopped at the American border for the next 90 days.
The revelation, which broke late on Saturday night, sent Downing Street scrambling for a response and has triggered uproar from MPs.
Politicians said tens of thousands of Britons could be caught up in the border chaos as Mr Trump’s new immigration rules impact on holidays and business trips.
It was unclear last night whether Theresa May was aware the rules change was going to affect Britons despite spending hours meeting Mr Trump and his top staff in the White House on Friday.
The US State Department said: “Travelers who have nationality or dual nationality of one of these countries will not be permitted for 90 days to enter the United States or be issued an immigrant or non-immigrant visa.
“Those nationals or dual nationals holding valid immigrant or non-immigrant visas will not be permitted to enter the United States during this period. Visa interviews will generally not be scheduled for nationals of these countries during this period.”
Mrs. May had refused twice to publicly condemn Mr Trump’s ban on refugees from those seven countries earlier in the day during a press conference in Turkey….

MERKEL TELLS TRUMP THAT THE GLOBAL FIGHT AGAINST TERRORISM IS NO EXCUSE FOR BANNING MUSLIM MIGRANTS

MERKEL TELLS TRUMP THAT THE GLOBAL FIGHT AGAINST TERRORISM IS NO EXCUSE 

FOR BANNING MUSLIM MIGRANTS

Trump’s executive order isn’t really a ban on Muslims entering. It is a temporary halt on immigration from seven jihad terror hotspots. But that is too much for Merkel, who would rather see her citizens murdered in jihad attacks than stop the Muslim migrant influx, even though there is an unknowable number of jihadis among the migrants. The Berlin truck jihad massacre was not enough for Merkel. And she will see much, much more.

“Merkel says fight against terrorism no excuse for U.S. entry ban,” by Andrea Shalal and Andreas Rinke, Reuters, January 29, 2017:

German Chancellor Angela Merkel told U.S. President Donald Trump that the global fight against terrorism was no excuse for banning refugees or people from Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States, her spokesman said on Sunday.
Steffen Seibert said Merkel had expressed her concerns to Trump during a telephone call on Saturday and reminded him that the Geneva Conventions require the international community to take in war refugees on humanitarian grounds.
“She is convinced that even the necessary, decisive battle against terrorism does not justify putting people of a specific background or faith under general suspicion,” he said.
Seibert said the German government regrets the U.S. entry travel ban, would review the consequences for German citizens with dual nationalities, and would “represent their interests, if needed, vis a vis our U.S. partners”.
The German and Dutch foreign ministers issued a joint statement on Sunday saying they were pressing U.S. authorities to determine what the order meant for their dual nationals.
“We are determined to protect the rights of our citizens and will take rapid action within the European Union about the steps that are now needed,” Germany’s Sigmar Gabriel and his Dutch counterpart Bert Koenders said.
Trump ordered on Friday a four-month hold on allowing refugees into the United States and temporarily banned travelers from Syria and six other mainly Muslim countries.
Seibert’s comments were the first indication of discord over the issue between Merkel and Trump, who had highlighted common interests such as strengthening NATO and combating Islamist militancy in a joint statement after their 45-minute phone call.
Thomas Oppermann, who heads the parliamentary faction of the Social Democrats, the junior partner in Merkel’s right-center coalition, called Trump’s order “inhumane and foolhardy” and said it would result in significant damage to the U.S. economy.
“The order contradicts everything that makes up the United States’ good reputation as a country of immigration,” he told Die Welt newspaper. “No one should be discriminated against because of their religious beliefs.”…

U.S. CONFERENCE OF CATHOLIC BISHOPS DENOUNCES TRUMP'S PLAN TO FAVOR REFUGEES FROM PERSECUTED RELIGIOUS MINORITIES

 "The USCCB may have a monetary interest here. This corrupt and authoritarian fraternity received $79,590,512 in 2014 alone — that’s right, nearly 80 million dollars — from the federal government for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops Migration Fund."

“‘We believe in assisting all, regardless of their religious beliefs,’ said Bishop Joe S. Vásquez, the chairman of the committee on migration for the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.”
That sounds very high-minded until one realizes that the Trump plan is to favor refugees who are fleeing being persecuted for their religious beliefs. This includes Christians, Yazidis, and other non-Muslims. The USCCB, by opposing this, is essentially calling upon Trump to admit people among whom will be the persecutors as well as the persecuted.

“Leave them; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” (Matthew 15:14)

“Christian Leaders Denounce Trump’s Plan to Favor Christian Immigrants,” by Laurie Goodstein, New York Times, January 29, 2017:

…Now Mr. Trump has followed through on his campaign promise to rescue Christians who are suffering. The executive order he signed on Friday gives preference to refugees who belong to a religious minority in their country, and have been persecuted for their religion. The president detailed his intentions during an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network on Friday, saying his administration is giving priority to Christians because they had suffered “more so” than others, “so we are going to help them.”
But if Mr. Trump had hoped for Christian leaders to break out in cheers, that is, for the most part, not what he has heard so far. A broad array of clergy members has strongly denounced Mr. Trump’s order as discriminatory, misguided and inhumane. Outrage has also come from some of the evangelical, Roman Catholic and mainline Protestant leaders who represent the churches most active in trying to aid persecuted Christians.
By giving preference to Christians over Muslims, religious leaders have said the executive order pits one faith against another. By barring any refugees from entering the United States for nearly four months, it leaves people to suffer longer in camps, and prevents families from reuniting. Also, many religious leaders have said that putting an indefinite freeze on refugees from Syria, and cutting the total number of refugees admitted this year by 60,000, shuts the door to those most in need.
“We believe in assisting all, regardless of their religious beliefs,” said Bishop Joe S. Vásquez, the chairman of the committee on migration for the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.
Jen Smyers, the director of policy and advocacy for the immigration and refugee program of Church World Service, a ministry affiliated with dozens of Christian denominations, called Friday a “shameful day” in America’s history….

IMPORTANCE OF TRUMP'S EXECUTIVE ORDER MIGHT NOT BE FULLY UNDERSTOOD FOR GENERATIONS

 

IMPORTANCE OF TRUMP'S EXECUTIVE ORDER MIGHT NOT BE FULLY UNDERSTOOD FOR GENERATIONS 

BY BRIAN THOMAS

Separating ourselves from the hysteria over Trump’s Executive Order on immigration, this is the crucial paragraph if you want to understand what Trump’s Administration is doing (full text of the statement here). At the end of this article I’ll explain it line by line.

In order to protect Americans, the United States must ensure that those admitted to this country do not bear hostile attitudes toward it and its founding principles. The United States cannot, and should not, admit those who do not support the Constitution, or those who would place violent ideologies over American law. In addition, the United States should not admit those who engage in acts of bigotry or hatred (including “honor” killings, other forms of violence against women, or the persecution of those who practice religions different from their own) or those who would oppress Americans of any race, gender, or sexual orientation.

As we find ourselves at the end of the first week of the Trump era, we see this weekend’s screaming press outrage over Trump’s Executive Order and the complete shock that he’s enacting one of the core planks of his campaign. For some reason people have been conditioned to believe that promises made by politicians during election campaigns will all be broken.
There’s only one thing that’s happened this weekend which anyone should be mildly concerned about; it has to do with reports of Green Card holders having issues at airports. It’s reasonably clear from the text of the order that this shouldn’t be happening; either the reports are false or rogue elements in the Immigration Service are deliberately being overzealous to cause public issues. David French at National Review has a very good article on the hysterical overreaction:

However, there are reports that the ban is being applied even to green-card holders. This is madness. The plain language of the order doesn’t apply to legal permanent residents of the U.S., and green-card holders have been through round after round of vetting and security checks. The administration should intervene, immediately, to stop misapplication. If, however, the Trump administration continues to apply the order to legal permanent residents, it should indeed be condemned.

The press have gone into a meltdown over the immediate clamping down on movements of people from seven specific countries. Interestingly, the only country mentioned by name in the order is Syria. Seth Frantzman also noticed this and dug a millimetre deeper than the entire rest of the press:

Go back and read it again. Do a “ctrl-f” to find “Iraq”. Where is “Iraq” in the order. It’s not there. Only Syria is there. So where are the seven nations? Where is the “Muslim ban”? It turns out this was a form of fake news, or alternative facts. Trump didn’t select seven “Muslim-majority” countries. US President Barack Obama’s administration selected these seven Muslim-majority countries.
The Department of Homeland Security targeted these seven countries over the last few years as countries of concern. In February 2016, “the Department of Homeland Security today announced that it is continuing its implementation of the Visa Waiver Program Improvement and Terrorist Travel Prevention Act of 2015 with the addition of Libya, Somalia, and Yemen as three countries of concern, limiting Visa Waiver Program travel for certain individuals who have traveled to these countries.” It noted “the three additional countries designated today join Iran, Iraq, Sudan and Syria as countries subject to restrictions for Visa Waiver Program travel for certain individuals.” [read the rest]

Central to what the press and the usual grievance mongers (CAIR, ACLU, ADL and the usual alphabet soup of far left groups) are doing is to draw a false analogy between refugees from the Middle East today and Jews who tried to flee the genocide of the Nazis. Signing the order on International Holocaust Memorial day (and making a mistake by not specifically mentioning Jews) ensured that the press would jump on this bandwagon. This is done with carefully constructed (sometimes faked) photographs, especially of children. Dead child on a beach and dazed child in a hospital: I don’t even need to include photos, these are etched into your heads.
Back when I wrote about this in September 2015, I pointed out the enormity of this false equivalence.

So I was just wondering if I could ask something of all those people quick to claim that Syrian refugees are the new 1930’s Jews.
UNHCR persons of concern refugee numberFor those Jews who managed to escape Nazi Germany, where were the refugee camps, like the ones in Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan today hosting 4,088,099 registered refugees (6th Sept). Because I’ve never heard anyone mention them. I’m sure a lot of Jews must have been saved in those camps.
As far as I know, in 1939 there were precisely zero Jewish countries and zero safe and secure refugee camps. I suspect if there had been a Jewish country or even a refugee camp it would have taken in some refugees. Worse: the major nations of the world, especially Britain, blocked Jews from reaching safety and sent them back to be murdered by Hitler.

Interestingly, the UNHCR “Persons of concern” website where I got my numbers from doesn’t seem to be working right now, so I can’t check for new numbers. The main number still stands: there were no refugee camps for Jews in 1939 and there are today many millions of Muslim refugees in (relatively) safe camps across the Middle East.
What has changed since I wrote that post is the seething societal problems currently ripping apart Europe. Every European nation that has accepted refugees is going through huge internal upheavals. I scarcely need to enumerate the problems, ranging from mass groping all the way up to huge mass casualty terror attacks in Nice, Berlin, Paris and elsewhere. Additionally, also since I wrote about the false equivalence, the UK voted to leave Europe and controlling immigration was one of the big factors in that.
Again, David French from National Review:

But don’t tell CNN’s chief national security correspondent, who last night tweeted this:

False. False. False. Religious considerations are by law part of refugee policy. And it is entirely reasonable to give preference (though not exclusivity) to members of minority religions. Finally, you can read the entire executive order from start to finish, reread it, then read it again, and you will not find a Muslim ban. It’s not there. Nowhere. At its most draconian, it temporarily halts entry from jihadist regions. In other words, Trump’s executive order is a dramatic climb-down from his worst campaign rhetoric.

So I’ll come back to the very first paragraph I showed you. That is the one that indicates what this new administration is actually thinking. And I believe it indicates that they know exactly what they’re doing. This isn’t something they put together in a week; this is evidence of their entire thinking on Islam and the defence of the west.
They’re going to treat Islam as a hostile political ideology. That is what has been needed for decades. It is the reversal of the “Islam is a religion of peace” doctrine set in place by Bush on September 17, 2001.

In order to protect Americans, the United States must ensure that those admitted to this country do not bear hostile attitudes toward it and its founding principles.

That statement should, quite rightly, strike terror into the hearts of anyone looking to promote Islamic law above the United States’ existing constitution. That is made even more explicit with the next sentence:

The United States cannot, and should not, admit those who do not support the Constitution, or those who would place violent ideologies over American law.

This would apply to a communist overthrow of the United States (I guess), but the only real threat on the global stage today is the ideology of Islamic supremacy.

In addition, the United States should not admit those who engage in acts of bigotry or hatred (including “honor” killings, other forms of violence against women, or the persecution of those who practice religions different from their own) or those who would oppress Americans of any race, gender, or sexual orientation.

If you read that paragraph and immediately think #MuslimBan, then you’re bringing your own impressions of Islam. The text doesn’t mention Islam, but we all know that the leading ideology that sanctions bigotry, hatred, violence against women, and oppression is not Buddhism.
This section, again without mentioning Islam or Muslims, arrives at the heart of the problem. Islamic values always lead to intolerance. Islam’s guiding texts are all fundamentally devoted to separating the world between believers and non-believers. All of our liberal freedoms and our equality stem from a Judeo-Christian belief that all men are created in the image of God and are equal before equitable laws. That is not at the heart of Islam.
That same Islamic ideology led 56 member states of the UN to ignore the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and replace it with the Cairo Declaration of Human Rights in Islam, which opens with:

Reaffirming the civilizing and historical role of the Islamic Ummah which God made the best nation that has given mankind a universal and well-balanced civilization in which harmony is established between this life and the hereafter and knowledge is combined with faith; and the role that this Ummah should play to guide a humanity confused by competing trends and ideologies and to provide solutions to the chronic problems of this materialistic civilization.

The idea that God made Islam the best nation is not a statement of equality. It is a supremacist statement. The Constitution of the United States doesn’t and obviously shouldn’t begin with “God made White America the Best Nation”. Every Islamic nation considers Islam to be superior to any other ideology.
That is what we are dealing with: 56 nation states and millions of indoctrinated followers who are religiously compelled (with a depth of fervor the godless left can no longer comprehend) bound to profess the supremacy of their civilization, whilst anyone with open eyes knows the United States Constitution is one of the greatest acts of foundational liberal freedom in history.
America is an astonishing social experiment. If it continues to open its borders, it will be overrun like Europe by those who desire its destruction, and could quite literally sink back into darkness. Whilst being so harshly condemned by those whose freedoms they are safeguarding so determinedly, Trump’s team, in its first week, has put out a document the importance of which might not be fully understood for generations.

FEDERAL "SANCTITY OF HUMAN LIFE ACT" INTRODUCED IN U.S. CONGRESS

 

FEDERAL "SANCTITY OF HUMAN LIFE ACT" INTRODUCED IN U.S. CONGRESS

 WASHINGTON — A Republican representative from 
Georgia has introduced a resolution that would recognize the unborn as 
being persons from the moment of conception.

Rep. Jody Hice, former pastor of  Bethlehem First Baptist Church and The Summit Church, presented H.R. 586 days before the 44th year of Roe v. Wade, also known as the “Sanctity of Human Life Act.”
“[T]he Congress declares that—(A) the right to life guaranteed by the Constitution is vested in each human being, and is the paramount and most fundamental right of a person; and (B) the life of each human being begins with fertilization, cloning, or its functional equivalent, irrespective of sex, health, function or disability, defect, stage of biological development, or condition of dependency, at which time every human being shall have all the legal and constitutional attributes and privileges of personhood,” it reads in part.
The resolution also affirms that Congress and each state has the authority “to protect the lives of all human beings residing in its respective jurisdictions.”

The Act has a number of co-sponsors, including Reps. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.), Phil Roe, M.D. (R-Tenn.), Trent Franks (R-Ariz.), Jeff Duncan (R-S.C.), Bill Johnson (R-Ohio) and Blake Farenthold (R-Texas).
Hice said in a statement on Tuesday that the resolution recognizes the inalienable right to life already outlined in the founding documents of the nation.

Hice

“In the Declaration of Independence, our Founding Fathers affirmed that everyone is endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, chief among them being life,” he noted. “Today, with the right to life under attack, now more than ever before, we must stand up as advocates for the unborn. Our culture must affirm the value of the weak and vulnerable in our society, beginning with our children.”

“With that in mind, I introduced the Sanctity of Human Life Act, which rightly defines life as beginning at conception,” Hice stated. “I am proud of this legislation and proud to be a voice for the unborn with clarity and conviction.”
As previously reported, just last week, the U.S. House of Representatives advanced the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act, which would place a permanent ban on taxpayer funding of abortions, as outlined in the Hyde Amendment.
The Act had been introduced by Rep. Chris Smith, R-New Jersey, a longtime supporter of the Amendment, which was first passed in 1976 to ban the use of Medicaid funds for abortion, with the exceptions of rape, incest and the life of the mother.

Smith

‘‘No funds authorized or appropriated by federal law, and none of the funds in any trust fund to which funds are authorized or appropriated by federal law, shall be expended for any abortion,” the No Taxpayer Funding Act reads in part.
‘‘None of the funds authorized or appropriated by federal law, and none of the funds in any trust fund to which funds are authorized or appropriated by federal law, shall be expended for health benefits coverage that includes coverage of abortion,” it outlines.
Hice voted in favor of the Act, remarking, “No American should ever be forced to pay for abortions. Period. The Hyde Amendment has been a staple of protecting the unborn for 40 years, saving more than two million lives, including 99,350 lives in the State of Georgia. Needless to say, it is vital that we keep it in place.”
Psalm 139:13-16 reads, “For Thou hast possessed my reins: Thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise Thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are Thy works, and that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not hid from Thee when I was made in secret and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being un-perfect, and in Thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned when as yet there was none of them.”

After three decades since Ronald Reagan opened the flood gates for illegal aliens, FINALLY both states and the federal government are starting to crack down on the myth known as sanctuary cities. Like San Francisco, the City of Sodom, where a young woman in the prime of her life was gunned down by a career criminal illegal alien. Kathleen Steinle's last words as her father held her were "Help me, dad".

That waste of human skin who killed that innocent woman claims he was using the stolen gun to shoot at sea lions and hit her instead. I guarantee you if that illegal alien had succeeded in killing a sea lion all hell would have broken loose in outrage by the same useful fools who defend protecting illegals. They would have turned on him in a NY minute.

While Americans continue to be murdered, robbed and raped by ILLEGAL aliens, the U.S. Congress regardless of which party controls both chambers, have played politics. The criminal impostor who just left the White House could care less about a white female being murdered in the City of Sodom. If the victim had a been black, Barry Soetoro aka Obama would no doubt have released a statement saying he/she could be my son or daughter.

The Carnage Continues

Fullerton (California) Police Looking For Undocumented Immigrant Suspected Of Sexually Assaulting Girl, 5, January 11, 2017. My grandparents were immigrants. Illegal aliens are not immigrants, but according to the mentally ill PC police, calling them what they are is racist.

"Cubias has an outstanding $50,000 arrest warrant for a DUI from 2014 under the name “Jose Cubias” and police say he uses multiple aliases, including Jose Cubias, Jose Cubias Arevalo, Jose Riberto Cubias, and Jose Alfonso Cubias Arevalo. Detectives say they believe that Cubias now knows he is wanted by police and is on the run from law enforcement." Another pedophile who should have been arrested and deported long ago.

Sheriff: MS-13 Gang Brings Machetes, Rape, Scalping to Texas

“We are inexperienced in seeing the level of brutality, savagery that MS-13 is doing here in Texas,” the south Texas sheriff told the listeners. “There are many cases in the Houston area. And out of 20,000 gang members in Houston, about 800 of them are MS-13, Mara Salvatrucha.”

“But the violence that they commit in Houston, Harris County, is unbelievable,” he continued. “And most of our citizens are unprepared and don't have the knowledge on what's actually going on with these gang members here in the state of Texas. And having the border here in Texas affords us a unique look into exactly what's happening to our country, which appears first most of the time here in Texas.”

They came mostly from Guatemala but many are also from Mexico.

Report: Illegals Committed 600,000 Crimes in Texas in 6 Yrs

"An internal report by the Texas Department of Public Safety obtained by PJ Media reveals that over a span of about 6 years, illegal immigrants in the state committed over 600,000 crimes and were involved in nearly 3,000 homicides.

"According to PJ Media, the Texas DPS report found that from October 2008 to April 2014, 177,588 "unique criminal alien defendants" were booked and committed 611,234 unique crimes, including 2,993 murders:
"From October 2008 to April 2014, Texas identified a total 177,588 unique criminal alien defendants booked into Texas county jails. These individuals have been identified through the Secure Communities initiative, in which Texas has participated since October 2008. A review of these 177,588 defendants shows that they are responsible for at least 611,234 individual criminal charges over their criminal careers, including 2,993 homicides and 7,695 sexual assaults."

All those lives and families destroyed so vile politicians and special interest groups can protect illegal aliens. Those are just the ones who've been caught. Think you or your loved ones won't be a victim? Think again.

The massive invasion by illegal aliens is the number one reason why my late husband and I left California in 2006. California has a personal state income tax; Texas, where I reside, doesn't have one. Taxation in California is astronomical and a massive amount is spent protecting individuals, regardless of age or country of origin, in the state illegally. They are given a free ride while hard working Californians scrimp and scrape along trying to provide for their families.

We know illegals are voting. Their state legislature has been dominated by racists and Marxists for DECADES and lunatics for governors; former cocaine snorting current governor Jerry Brown and Arnold the idiot Schwarzenegger to name two. Their former Attorney General, Kamala Harris, is a stinking communist. She took retiring Senator Barbara Boxer's seat so we have another Red in Congress.

(President Trump's Treasury pick) Steven Mnuchin Donated To One Democrat In 2016 – The Woman Who Declined To Prosecute His Bank

"Wednesday's post, Donald Trump Has an Enormous and Very Dangerous Wall Street Blind Spot, highlighted the fact that the bank run by Trump's Treasury Secretary nominee, Steven Mnuchin, was given a pass by California attorney general Kamala Harris, despite the discovery of over a thousand legal violations. Kamala Harris has since been (s)elected to the U.S. Senate. Here's what we've learned:" (Rest at link)

Gov. Jerry Brown and his Marxist buddies are so mad President Trump is doing what the U.S. Congress has refused to do for decades, they're now doing some big time chest thumping:

California Could Cut Off Feds In Response To Trump Threats, January 27, 2017: "SAN FRANCISCO (KPIX 5) – The state of California is studying ways to suspend financial transfers to Washington after the Trump administration threatened to withhold federal money from sanctuary cities, KPIX 5 has learned."

All to protect the parasites feeding off the host. That would be illegals sucking off the paychecks of hard working Californians protected by elected officials now in positions of power:

L.A. Mayor Sets Up Justice Fund to Protect Criminal Aliens

Art Torres, California Democratic Party chairman, at the Latino Summit Response to Prop 187 at U.C. Riverside (Jan. 14, 1995): "Power is not given to you, you have to take it! People say to me when I was on the Senate floor, when I was in the Senate, why do you fight so hard for affirmative action programs. And I tell my white colleagues: because you're gonna need them. Remember, 187 is the last gasp of white America." READ this column I wrote on April 30, 2010. It's far worse now.

"If anyone's going to be deported, it's going to be you! ... Get out! We are the future. You're old and tired. Go on. We have beaten you - leave like beaten rats. You old white people, it is your duty to die. Right now, we're already controlling those elections, whether it's by violence or nonviolence. Through love of having children we're going to take over." Augustin Cebada, information minister of Brown Berets, militant para-military soldiers of Aztlan shouting at U.S. citizens at an Independence Day rally in Los Angeles. In other words and also politically incorrect, they're going to out breed everyone else.

I'm also sick to death of hearing the bleeding hearts with their "breaking up families" BS. You deport the minors right along with their illegal parents. Children born of Mexican parents on U.S. soil are NOT 'anchor babies' or U.S. citizens. They are citizens of Mexico; see my column here.

SF Archbishop: Church Will Help Illegal Aliens ‘Know Their Rights’. Really? The only rights illegal aliens have is humane treatment on the way back across the border. Shame on the Catholic Church for aiding and abetting illegals.

Abandoned Walmart opens as shelter for illegals - Angry residents of U.S. city sound off: 'Bulls--t! Send them all back!' - About time people stood up and said NO. I hope you take the time to read that piece because once again, illegals are treated like royalty because there's big money in it for private organizations.

Governor Greg Abbott [R-TX] has taken a hard line against sanctuary cities in this state. Currently he's engaged in a legal battle with one sheriff who loves, adores and protects criminal illegal aliens:

Sanctuary Sheriff Faces Removal From Office For Aiding Criminal Illegals

"Travis Co. Sheriff Sally Hernandez is facing removal from office after defying Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s call to end “sanctuary city” policies which aid criminal aliens...

“First, you claim you have no legal power to comply with ICE detainers. That proves too much, of course, because by your own admission, Travis County Sheriff's Office will honor some ICE detainers, for example when the alien is charged with or convicted of capital murder,” Abbott wrote. “You have the exact same legal authority to honor ICE detainers for capital murder cases as you do for other crimes that you personally deem unworthy of enforcement.”

“…Under your reckless policy, for example, dangerous criminal aliens convicted of felonies like murder, aggravated assault, human trafficking, including child sex trafficking, aggravated kidnapping, including sexual performance by a child or indecency with a child, dangerous gang activities…,” he added."

That Sheriff had this to say: 'Hernandez declared that honoring the detainers would make the “community less safe by driving people into the shadows.”

No, Sally. It's not about driving people into the shadows. It's about upholding our federal immigration laws and getting rapists and murderers off the streets in not only Austin but the rest of our state. We want to flush them out and get them deported before they can harm one more American. Not to mention the cost to Americans being taxed into poverty: Over 300 Sanctuary Cities Are Costing State and Local Taxpayers over $7,000,000,000 Annually

If you support Gov. Abbott's strong and politically incorrect stand on this issue, give his office a quick call and thank him for standing up to the enablers: (512) 463-2000. Here in Texas thanks to our legislature and governor, illegals do NOT get birth certificates.

It's a tragedy the constitutional militia has not been reconstituted by our state legislature and put on our border. Instead, the hordes just continue to flood across the border. Dr. Edwin Vieira was my guest on my radio show, January 25th. The constitutional militia and border security was discussed. If you'd like to listen to that show or any of my shows, go to my archives here.

Trump to start deputizing sheriffs for illlegals enforcement: "To build his highly touted deportation force, President Donald Trump is reviving a long-standing program that deputizes local officers to enforce federal immigration law."

As for President Trump's executive action to stop refugees and other status individuals from terrorist states, holy smokes! The left has gone berserk. The American Communist Lawyer's Union [ACLU] immediately jumped into the fray. Two judges have temporarily blocked Trump's efforts to try and keep terrorists out of our country. However, their rulings don't strike down Trump's executive action. It simply means more BS Congressional hearings. There are bound to be some glitches and there have been, but they are being fairly resolved.

The issue here is national security and superb writer, Lawrence Sellin's piece hits the ball out of the park:

Iraqis are "offended" by Trump's temporary refugee ban?

"Joining the chorus of anonymous Iraqis is anti-Trumper Clint Watts ("A Trump victory could pave the way for Russian ascendance and American acquiescence"), who states:

"We invaded Iraq and displaced people. We have since relied on Iraqis as partners to fight against ISIS. If we don't want to deploy thousands of troops to fight these terrorist groups, then we rely on partners in Iraq and elsewhere. This [Trump's] policy sends a very negative message to countries where we will need indigenous support from translators and peacekeepers."

"That is, Iraqis have no responsibility for the security of their own country or an interest in combating radical Islam and will only accept our assistance in the effort to free Iraq from the threat of ISIS on the condition that we re-locate Iraqis to the U.S.

"Compassion has its place, but not as blackmail, especially, as in this case, when it conflicts with protecting U.S. citizens. American foreign policy has, for too long, been the captive of a liberal need for emotionally satisfying gestures and a willingness to subvert our interests by submitting to the psychological demands of another culture."

Since the foolish Prime Minister of Canada is happy to welcome refugees from terrorist supported countries, they should all head there: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canada welcomes refugees. I guess Canada's newest 'rock star' hasn't been paying attention to the destruction of Europe and countries like Sweden:

Refugees Welcome! Sweden: Two Afghan Muslim migrants revealed as those who streamed 3-hour rape on Facebook

Wait until a few thousand women in his country are raped by Muslim refugees who believe it's their right to take what they want. Here's a hint, PM Trudeau: They love blondes with blue eyes. It's a fact blondes in countries like Sweden have been dying their hair a dark color because of fear of being raped by Muslim refugees.

 Remember the San Bernadino killers? The husband and wife team? Think those San Bernadino killers swam here from Afghanistan? Now they can fly into Canada posing as refugees. We know from factual and documented incidents too many Muslim terrorists pose as refugees. OUR national security and the safety of the people of this country take precedence, as Col. Sellin said above, over 'emotionally satisfying gestures'.

Muslim Refugees are still pouring into our country: 1,960 refugees enter U.S. on Trump's watch as he battles special interest groups who don't give a damn about YOUR safety or your family. Not to mention they go straight to federal welfare because they don't speak our language, they refuse to assimilate and demand we flush our culture and traditions to suit their fake religion.

If you agree with President Trump's executive action then let him know. The White House now has a comment line. He who shouts the loudest gets heard.

TRUMP PROMISES TOUGHER POLICING IN CHICAGO

MAYOR WELCOMES FEDS, BUT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS AS WELL, AND CHICAGO WILL REMAIN 

A SANCTUARY CITY

  Rahm Emanuel Rather Have More Gun Control 

President Donald Trump once again warned Democratic Party officials in Chicago -- especially Mayor Rahm Emanuel -- and the news media that if they can’t stop the Windy City's climbing murder and violent crime rate, Trump’s Washington, D.C. team will take action to protect the people — whites, blacks, Latinos and Asians — from the street predators, gang-bangers and other criminals.

Mayor Emanuel said that he welcomes the chance to partner with federal agencies to curb violence in Chicago. Then he said that illegal immigrants are welcome, as well and his city will remain a sanctuary. He also blamed the high crime rate on the relative ease with which the people in Chicago purchase illegal weapons including assault rifles. He blames other states in the region that have less-stringent gun control policies.

While a number of conservatives claim that policing and crimefighting policies and actions -- the police function -- are relegated to the individual states, it has become commonplace for the U.S. Department of Justice to go into cities, towns and counties to investigate local cops and police agencies.

Trump believes that these so-called police racism and misconduct cases are at best unnecessary, at worst they are fraudulent based on political correctness and the liberal-left's anti-police, anti-military standards.

Trump spoke about The Windy City’s crime and violence after the Chicago Police Department released year-end crime stats on New Year’s Day. It showed that Chicago’s homicide numbers were worse than the larger cities of New York and Los Angeles combined.

“Chicago murder rate is record setting – 4,331 shooting victims with 762 murders in 2016. If Mayor can’t do it he must ask for Federal help!” the future White House occupant tweeted.

During his campaign against race-baiting Democrat Hillary Clinton, Trump often highlighted the plight of blacks in Chicago. He promised them a safer, economically sound community free from gangs, drugs and violence. Whenever he asked for their votes, Trump would say, “Give me a chance [as president]. What have you got to lose?”

2016 Chicago Crime Statistics Released

Chicago, Illinois, released its annual crime report for 2016, arguably one of the most violent years for big cities in more than a decade. According to the statistics, there were 762 homicides in 2016 with a daily average of two murders. It is the most killings committed in that city in more than two decades.

Chicago, which has the third largest city population in the country, also witnessed upwards of 1,000 more shooting incidents than it experienced in 2015, according to statistics provided by the beleaguered Chicago Police Department.

“The numbers are staggering especially the dozens of shootings and monthly death tolls that weren’t seen in perhaps 20 years. The increase in last year’s homicides compared to 2015, when 485 were reported, is the largest spike in 60 years,” noted Chicago’s Top Cop Edward “Eddie” Johnson.

Police Superintendent Johnson said during a press conference on New Year’s Day, “Chicago is among many U.S. cities that have [seen] a spike in violence, including [a spike] in attacks on police.”

He told reporters that the anger at police over their alleged use of excessive force, especially deadly physical force, has actually “emboldened criminals” to commit even more violent crimes.

While Johnson doesn’t say it — being a good Democrat in a city practically bought and paid for by the Democratic Party Machine — many believe that President Barack Obama, Attorney General Loretta Lynch, former Attorney General Eric Holder, and former Obama White House minion, now Chicago’s mayor, Rahm Emmanuel may share a large part of the blame for increased friction between minorities and law enforcement.

He also said it’s becoming clearer to criminals that they have little to fear from the criminal justice system, which is run by mostly liberal Democrats. For example, not a week goes by without a news story describing another large-scale prison release by Obama, including those illegal aliens released after serving time for violent crimes who remain on the streets of Chicago, New York, Los Angeles and other large U.S. cities.

Ironically, it’s those cities that consider themselves “sanctuary cities” that are seeing the highest increases in street crime. But rather than address that issue, Attorney General Loretta Lynch spends millions of tax dollars and man-hours investigating police departments and officers.

Also on Sunday, the CBS News show 60 Minutes made “some outlandish, and illogical accusations” against the Chicago Police Department: The report blamed the police officers for the increase in Chicago’s murder rate and violent crimes such as armed robberies, rapes, aggravated assaults and other serious offenses.

According to officials at the organization Blue Lives Matter, “The introduction to the [60 Minutes] segment described Chicago as being a city that more closely resembles a ‘war zone’ as opposed to one of America’s great cities.” They also said, “It’s [being] widely reported that Chicago had 762 murders, and 1,400 people wounded by gun shots during the year 2016. And 60 Minutes described the Chicago Police Department as being an agency on its heels.”

Blue Lives Matter is a media company, founded and run entirely by active and retired law enforcement officers. 

 “The segment was hosted by CBS Correspondent Bill Whitaker who wasted no time pinpointing what he described as being an “alarming cause” for the drastic uptick in murders on the streets of Chicago. Whitaker passionately (some might say ignorantly) placed the full blame at the feet of the courageous men and women who proudly wear the badge and patrol this described “war zone that is Chicago,” the group wrote in their statement.

Blue Lives Matter’s officials stated:

“Bill Whitaker revealed some statistics that were obtained from inside the Chicago Police Department. The data reveals an annual comparison of 2016 and 2015 pertaining to the police activity levels. It also showed that in August 2015 police officers stopped and questioned 49,257 people as a result of pro-active policing measures. A year later that number decreased to 8,859, which is about an 80% decline in people stopped and questioned.”

The data used by Whitaker can be found in the full transcript provided by CBS 60 Minutes.
