Report: Biden Administration to Dismantle ICE Immigration Enforcement

/1 Comment/in , /by

The Biden administration is reportedly considering overhauling Immigration and Customs Enforcement in a way that would terminate the jobs of thousands of officers tasked with arresting and deporting immigrants illegally residing in the United States.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is understood to have recently introduced a plan to do away with ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations arm and convert those officers into agents who investigate transnational crime instead of going after illegal immigrants.

The consideration comes after Mayorkas testified before senators in his confirmation hearing last month and said that he did not think ICE should be abolished.

The Biden administration’s proposal, outlined to top officials at the agency, would keep ICE’s name and its investigations side but effectively do away with its ability to enforce immigration laws. ICE would have little, if any, ability to do anything about people who choose to overstay a visa or illegally enter the U.S. at its land borders. Over the past decade, ICE officers have faced mounting challenges taking illegal immigrants into custody in sanctuary jurisdictions across the country that have enacted policies not to allow local police to turn over immigrants to ICE, as was standard practice for decades.

United Airlines Investigating After ‘Source’ Leaked Ted Cruz’s Flight Information

/0 Comments/in , /by

United Airlines is investigating who from the company leaked Sen. Ted Cruz’s flight information last week after political fallout over his trip to Cancun, Mexico, while millions of Texans were without electricity and water during record subzero temperatures.

As the media-led controversy of Cruz’s vacation unfurled last week, some reporters, after obtaining the information from someone at United Airlines, shared pictures of the senator’s flight number, arrival time, and even the fact that he was on the upgrade list for a new seat on the plane. . .

Another reporter testified on Twitter that he was in contact with a “source at United Airlines” who informed him that Cruz rearranged his travel plans to return to the United States earlier than expected. . .

Reports of the investigation by United into who shared the information suggest that releasing sensitive data is a fireable offense. The airline confirmed this to The Federalist after a request for comment but did not answer any questions about the duration of the investigation or possible penalties for whoever is responsible.

Another Boeing Plane Falls Apart Mid-Flight

/0 Comments/in , /by

A second Boeing plane was forced to conduct an emergency landing over the weekend after a flight departing the Netherlands experienced significant engine failure.

The Boeing 747-400 cargo plane, operated by the charter airline service Longtail Aviation and traveling from Maastricht, Netherlands, to New York, was forced to land shortly after taking off Saturday due to a significant engine failure, CNN reported. After airplane parts fell from the plane onto the town of Meerssen, Netherlands, injuring two people, the plane’s crew conducted an emergency landing in Belgium.

“Our flight crew dealt with this situation professionally and in accordance with the correct aviation standards, resulting in a safe and uneventful landing,” said Martin Amick, accountable manager for Longtail Aviation, according to CNN. “We are now in the process of working closely with the Dutch, Belgian, Bermuda and UK authorities to understand the cause of this incident.”

Of the injured people, one was rushed to the hospital, according to Dutch safety inspector Veiligheidsregio, CNN reported. Cars and houses were damaged from falling debris as well. (Read more from “Another Boeing Plane Falls Apart Mid-Flight” HERE)

Amazon Removes Book on Transgenderism by Conservative Author Without Explanation

/1 Comment/in , /by

Amazon’s web store has removed a best-selling book by a conservative author on the science and politics of transgenderism without notifying the author or giving him a reason why the book was deplatformed.

Ethics & Public Policy Center President Ryan T. Anderson, Ph.D., on Sunday discovered that his book, “When Harry Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender Moment” had been removed from Amazon’s online store.

The book, which was an Amazon and Washington Post best-seller, surveys the debate on gender dysphoria, sex reassignment surgeries, and anti-discrimination law and considers biology, psychology, and philosophy to address what the public policy response should be for individuals who struggle to accept their bodies.

Anderson told TheBlaze that Amazon did not provide him with notice or an explanation for why his book was made unavailable to purchase. He only found out after people attempting to buy the book told him the listings on Amazon were taken down. Customers cannot purchase a used copy, the Kindle edition, or even the Audible version of Anderson’s book.

These Businesses Are Backing Gun Control Initiatives

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms launched an initiative last year aimed at providing information to Second Amendment-loving Americans. The goal was to provide a comprehensive list of companies and/or CEOs who back gun control initiatives and legislation or have anti-firearm corporate policies in place.

“When we started this project last year, we were actually surprised, and in some cases disappointed, at some of the businesses we added to the list,” CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb said in a statement. “We discovered several brand name businesses and corporate leaders who evidently have a nefarious agenda to limit gun rights. Their current and potential patrons should have the knowledge of what their hard earned dollars are actually funding.”

The CCRKBA recently added Gucci to the list after it was revealed the high-end brand donated $500,000 to the March for Our Lives organization, which launched after the Parkland shooting in Florida. March for Our Lives quickly used the funds to advance anti-Second Amendment legislation, Gottlieb said.

U.S. Supreme Court Abdicates on Election Law Cases Yet Again; Justice Thomas: “Refusal is Inexplicable”

/0 Comments/in , , /by

This morning, U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear election law challenges in four different cases: Republican Party of Pennsylvania v. Degraffenreid (formerly Boockvar), Corman (formerly Scarnati) v. Pennsylvania Democratic Party, Congressman Mike Kelly v. Pennsylvania, and Trump v. Degraffenreid.

In two of the four cases, Justices Thomas, Gorsuch, and Alito dissented. Justice Thomas stated, “These cases provide us with an ideal opportunity to address just what authority nonlegislative officials have to set election rules, and to do so well before the next election cycle. The refusal to do so is inexplicable.”

Joining the liberal justices was, unsurprisingly, Justice Roberts. However, both Kavanaugh and newly-appointed Barrett also joined with the majority in rejecting the cases.

In two of the cases, none of the justices dissented from the denial of certiorari.

The Supreme Court’s refusal to hear election law cases is a very dangerous development for the Republic. The majority of the country knows there was widespread fraud. And the vast majority of conservatives are convinced that the election was stolen. But now it appears they have no legal recourse, at least through the federal courts.

The People must focus their efforts on their state legislatures, enacting election law fixes to prevent the type of election law fraud we saw this past cycle.

Poll: One in Six Biden Voters Would Have Changed Their Vote if They Had Known About Scandals Suppressed by Media

/0 Comments/in , /by

A new report from the Media Research Center shows that the media’s lack of coverage and big tech’s suppression of certain issues and scandals surrounding Democratic Presidential Nominee Joe Biden could have cost President Donald Trump the election.

The survey results report that 17 percent of Biden voters would not have voted for the Biden-Harris presidential ticket if they had known about at least one of the eight news stories that were suppressed by big tech and mainstream media outlets.

“This is not happenstance. This is not coincidence. This is not oversight and this is not just a mistake,” president and founder of Media Research Center Brent Bozell said at a press conference Tuesday. “These were deliberate decisions that were made thousands of times, literally thousands of times, to either twist or to not cover it at all, which we found in this case.”

The survey, conducted online by The Polling Company with a +/- 2.34 percent margin of error at a 95 percent confidence interval, asked 1,750 Biden voters living in seven swing states (Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin) if they were aware of certain issues surrounding Biden, his family, and some of the Trump administration’s successes.

Some of these topics include former Biden staffer Tara Reade and her sexual assault allegations against Biden, the Hunter Biden scandal, VP Nominee Kamala Harris’s extreme liberal voting record in the Senate, the U.S.’s economic jump in the third quarter, millions of jobs added, America’s energy independence, Operation Warp Speed successes, and Trump’s facilitation of multiple peace deals in the Middle East.

Family of Boy Who Died in Frigid Texas Trailer Sues ERCOT for $100M

/0 Comments/in , /by

The family of a Texas boy who apparently froze to death — after the family’s mobile home lost power during an intense cold snap — have filed a $100 million lawsuit against the region’s utility providers, blaming them for the tragedy.

Cristian Pavon Pineda, 11, was found lifeless in a bed next to his toddler brother Monday, as temperatures inside plunged into the single digits and the family struggled to keep warm.

Power grid operator ERCOT and electricity provider Entergy failed to warn people of the dangerous conditions and gave incomplete guidance to customers during the recent historic cold, the family charges, according to reports.

New Bill Would Grant Biological Fathers Veto Power Over Abortion

/1 Comment/in , /by

Tennessee lawmakers have proposed a bill that would enable a biological father to stop a woman from getting an abortion.

Republican state Sen. Mark Pody introduced SB0494 on Feb. 8 that calls for:

As introduced, permits a person to petition a court for an injunction to prohibit a woman who is pregnant with the person’s unborn child from obtaining an abortion; requires the petitioner to execute a voluntary acknowledgement of paternity that is not subject to being rescinded or challenged.

Once the injunction is issued, the court must hold a hearing with both parties within 14 days, The Hill reported. Should the woman violate the injunction and get an abortion, “The court may hold the respondent in civil or criminal contempt and punish the respondent in accordance with the law.”

“The voluntary acknowledgement of paternity may be executed without the signature of the child’s mother,” the bill states. “The voluntary acknowledgement of paternity must be proven by filing a certified copy with the court.” (Read more from “New Bill Would Grant Biological Fathers Veto Power Over Abortion” HERE)

Let’s Hope Fauci Is Wrong Again With This Latest Prediction

/1 Comment/in , /by

Dr. Anthony Fauci doesn’t see Americans outgrowing their face diapers anytime soon. The director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said on Sunday that he can’t rule out Americans wearing face masks in 2022. Hopefully, the nation’s top “expert” flip-flops on this as he has with so many other things in the past.

“I think it is possible that that’s the case and, again, it really depends on what you mean by normality,” Fauci said on CNN’s “State of the Union,” when asked whether Americans will still be wearing face masks next year.

Fauci said he would like to see the level of coronavirus infections come down in communities to a level where “there’s virtually no threat.”

“If you see the level coming down really, really very low, I want it to keep going down to a baseline that’s so low that there’s virtually no threat,” said Fauci.

“It’ll never be zero,” Fauci conceded, “but a minimal, minimal threat that you will be exposed to someone who is infected.” (Read more from “Let’s Hope Fauci Is Wrong Again With This Latest Prediction” HERE)
