Illegal Alien Healthcare Costs Taxpayers an Alarming Amount

/0 Comments/in , /by

Every year, American taxpayers are forced to subsidize the cost of health care for illegal aliens who have been arrested by federal immigration officials to the sum of about a quarter of a billion dollars.

In data obtained by Breitbart News, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reveals that more than $250 million in U.S. tax dollars goes towards providing medical, dental, and mental health care for illegal aliens and border crossers who are in ICE custody at any given time.

This cost does not include the cost of illegal aliens and their U.S.-born children living throughout the country. Separately, these illegal aliens and their children cost the American taxpayer more than $17 billion a year in medical expenses, according to research by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR).

The cost of providing health care to illegal aliens arrested by ICE at American taxpayers’ expense has slightly increased between 2016 to 2018. For instance, the cost of health care for illegal aliens in ICE custody in Fiscal Year 2017 was less than $248 million in Fiscal Year 2017. By Fiscal Year 2018, that total had increased about $20 million, as illegal immigration continues souring in the U.S. . .

Currently, the nation’s Washington, DC-imposed mass legal immigration policy — whereby about 1.5 million unskilled legal immigrants are admitted to the U.S. every year — is a boon to corporate executives, Wall Street, big business, and multinational conglomerates, as America’s working and middle class have their wealth redistributed to the country’s top earners through wage stagnation.

Top U.S. General Makes Revelation About Google and China’s Relationship

/0 Comments/in , /by

During his testimony to the Senate Armed Services Committee on Thursday, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Joseph Dunford said while Google continues to not work with the U.S. military, they will work with China. He said their work with China in turn benefits the Chinese military.

“The work that Google is doing with China is indirectly benefiting the Chinese military and I’ve been very public on this issue as well,” Dunford said. “The way I described it to our industry partners is look we’re the good guys and the values we represent and the system we represent is the one that will allow, and has allowed you, to thrive.”

“We watch with great concern when industry partners work in China, knowing there is that indirect benefit, and frankly ‘indirect’ maybe not a full characterization of the way it really is,” he continued. “It’s more of a direct benefit to the Chinese military.” . . .

Acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan also warned about China’s increased spending on its military.

“China’s defense spending approaches that of the U.S., when we take into account purchasing power and the portion of our budget going to military pay and benefits. “That, coupled with China’s organized approach to steal foreign technology, has allowed China to modernize its missile, space, and cyber capabilities, as well as project power far beyond its borders,” he said.

Beto O’Rourke’s Disturbing Poetry Revealed

/0 Comments/in , /by

Beto O’Rourke’s youthful artistic experiments included a poem pleading for genital grooming and a sacred cow to lactate, according to newly unearthed documents.

At age 16 in 1988, under the pseudonym – “Psychedelic Warlord” – O’Rourke, now 46, authored “The Song of the Cow” — a bizarre piece of experimental writing that included lines asking for a cow to “buff” and “scrub my balls.” . . .

“The Song of the Cow” isn’t the only odd piece of written work recently excavated from the former Texas congressman’s past. As part of a Reuters investigation published Friday, it was discovered that O’Rourke — who was a member of the hacking group “Cult of the Dead Cow” — wrote a short story about deliberately running over a group of children in his car.

“As I neared the young ones, I put all my weight on my right foot, keeping the accelerator pedal on the floor until I heard the crashing of the two children on the hood, and then the sharp cry of pain from one of the two. I was so fascinated for a moment, that when after I had stopped my vehicle, I just sat in a daze, sweet visions filling my head,” O’Rourke wrote.

CAIR Attempts to Blame Trump for New Zealand Massacre

/1 Comment/in , /by

By ABC News. A top Muslim organization is blasting President Donald Trump after a mass shooting at two mosques in New Zealand left 49 people dead and dozens more injured.

“During your presidency and during your election campaign, Islamophobia took a sharp rise and attacks on innocent Muslims, innocent immigrants and mosques have skyrocketed,” Nihad Awad the Executive Director and co-founder of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a Muslim civil rights and advocacy group, said at a press conference.

Police in New Zealand say the alleged gunman, described as being in his late 20s, opened fire inside a mosque in Christchurch and that a shooting at a different mosque killed a total of at least 49 worshipers gathered for Friday prayers. Authorities say a lengthy online document, posted after the shooting and linked to the alleged gunman’s video of the shooting, praised other mass shooters, advocated white supremacy and detailed hatred for immigrants.

“We hold you responsible for this growing anti-Muslim sentiment in the country and in Europe, but we also do not excuse those terrorist attackers against minorities at home and abroad,” he continued. (Read more from “CAIR Attempts to Blame Trump for New Zealand Massacre” HERE)

New Zealand Terrorist Attack Suspect Grins in Court

By Al Jazeera. The Australian suspect arrested after dozens of worshippers were gunned down in two mosques appeared unrepentant in court in New Zealand on Saturday, staring down media members with a smirk on his face.

Brenton Tarrant, 28, appeared in a Christchurch District Court and was charged with murder. He was remanded without a plea until his next appearance in the South Island city’s High Court on April 5.

Handcuffed, shoeless, and wearing a white prison suit, Tarrant did not speak. His court-appointed lawyer made no application for bail or name suppression.

He made an “okay” hand gesture during his court appearance, a symbol often used for signalling support for the white supremacist ideology. . .

“He came into court, he didn’t say anything at all. He stood there looking directly at the media in the courtroom and was smirking throughout his appearance,” Thomas reported. (Read more from “New Zealand Terrorist Attack Suspect Grins in Court” HERE)

Ocasio-Cortez Favorability Inches up — but the Same Poll Has Very Bad News for Her

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Blaze. In a new poll released on Friday, the upstart congresswoman showed a small improvement in her favorability rating, but also a large leap in her unfavorability rating.

Of Americans polled by the survey, 31 percent said that they saw her favorably, an increase of 7 percentage points from September when 24 percent said they saw her favorably.

However, about 41 percent saw her in an unfavorable light, a leap of 15 percentage points from 26 percent in September.

The Socialist Democrat shocked the political world in 2018 when she defeated a Democratic party boss in the primary for New York’s 14th congressional district.

Since then she has used her social media savvy to push the party to the far left, garnering high praise from progressives but also facing scorn from party establishment loyalists. (Read more from “Ocasio-Cortez Favorability Inches up — but the Same Poll Has Very Bad News for Her” HERE)

Ocasio-Cortez Hits NRA After New Zealand Shooting: ‘What Good Are Your Thoughts and Prayers?’

By The Hill. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on Friday tore into the National Rifle Association (NRA) after at least one gunman opened fire at two New Zealand mosques, leaving at least 49 people dead.

The New York lawmaker condemned the fatal attack on Twitter, focusing her message on the American gun group.

At 1st I thought of saying, ‘Imagine being told your house of faith isn’t safe anymore.’ But I couldn’t say ‘imagine,’” the lawmaker wrote, citing the deadly shootings at a Charleston, S.C., church, a Pittsburgh synagogue and a Sutherland Springs, Texas, church.

“What good are your thoughts & prayers when they don’t even keep the pews safe?” She added.

Ocasio-Cortez noted that “thoughts and prayers” is a reference to the NRA phrase she says is “used to deflect conversation away from policy change during tragedies.” (Read more from “Ocasio-Cortez Hits NRA After New Zealand Shooting: ‘What Good Are Your Thoughts and Prayers?'” HERE)

Trump Vetoes Resolution to Block National Emergency

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump vetoed a resolution Friday that sought to block his national emergency declaration to fund the southern border wall, according to The New York Times.

After Democrats and 12 Republican senators supported the resolution to block the declaration, President Trump immediately issued the first veto of his presidency, calling the resolution “dangerous” and “reckless.”

“It is a dangerous resolution that would undermine United States sovereignty and threaten the lives and safety of countless Americans,” President Trump said in a White House statement. “It is, therefore, my duty to return it to the House of Representatives without my approval.” . . .

President Trump said he was not bothered by the number of Republicans who opposed his national emergency declaration, because he knew there weren’t enough votes in Congress to override a veto.

“They’re doing what they have to do, and I put no pressure on anybody,” President Trump said. “I actually said, ‘I could have gotten some of them to come along.’ I said, ‘I want for you to vote your heart. Do what you want to do. I’m not putting any pressure.’ … I didn’t need the votes. We all knew it’s going to be a veto, and there’s not going to be an override.” (Read more from “Trump Vetoes Resolution to Block National Emergency” HERE)

Whistleblower Exposes Google’s Religious Bias in Labeling Christian Videos ‘Homophobic’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Whistleblower and Google software engineer Mike Wacker revealed evidence that the human resources department of the giant corporation exhibits bias against Christians, labeling Christian YouTube ads “homophobic.”

Wacker tweeted Wednesday, “Let me give an example related to religion this time, one where HR is involved in describing sincere religious beliefs as ‘homophobic.’” He referred to two videos that LGBT advocates regarded as objectionable, thus complaining to Google, which owns YouTube.

Wacker included in his tweet a video by Christian radio host Dr. Michael Brown “Can You Be Gay and Christian?” and one by the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) titled “Barronelle Stutzman’s Story.” Homosexualist objections stemmed from a 2018 story in PinkNews about LGBT activist and author Gaby Dunn, who had asked fans whether they had seen any “anti-LGBT” ads on her YouTube videos. . .

In retaliation for the perceived offense on the part of LGBT advocates, Google ruled that Brown’s video violated its policies for advertisements on its platform. He was barred from paying YouTube to promote his video. Currently, his video does not appear as an advertisement before any other video on YouTube.

Brown explained to LifeSiteNews that YouTube has demonetized his video channel where he has posted 1,600 videos explaining Biblical and Christian teachings on issues ranging from abortion to sexuality. He wrote that there is no appealing YouTube’s decision.

U.S. Town Becomes ‘Sanctuary City for the Unborn’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The City Council of Roswell, New Mexico passed a resolution Thursday declaring its jurisdiction to be in support of “fetal life,” something local pro-life activists say makes Roswell a “sanctuary city for the unborn.”

In a seven to one vote, with one council member abstaining, the City Council passed Resolution 19-28, which declares “that innocent human life, including fetal life, must always be protected and that Society must protect those who cannot protect themselves.”

The resolution also states that the City Council declares “its opposition to any diminution by the New Mexico Legislature of the limitations on abortion” and “honors the rights of healthcare providers to object on moral grounds to performing abortions and opposes any regulation or law seeking to violate that right.”

This week, the New Mexico Senate was considering a pro-abortion bill that would have forced doctors to commit abortions. It also would have repealed old, unenforced sections of the law criminalizing abortion – preparation for a possible overturning of Roe v. Wade. New Mexico is home to an infamous late-term abortion facility, Southwestern Women’s Options, and has some of the loosest abortion laws in the country. Southwestern Women’s Options commits abortions throughout the third trimester of pregnancy. (Read more from “U.S. Town Becomes ‘Sanctuary City for the Unborn'” HERE)

All-Female Court Panel Overturns Rape Conviction Because Woman Is Too Ugly to Be Credible Victim

/0 Comments/in , /by

Three female judges in an appeals court in Italy overturned a 2015 rape conviction in part because the victim in question was deemed too ugly to have been raped. The alleged victim, then 20 years old, was not found to be a credible rape victim because she was too unattractive and “masculine,” according to the three female judges. The Daily Mail reports:

Two Peruvian men were initially convicted of the 2015 rape of a Peruvian woman in Ancona, but the Italian appeals court overturned the verdict and absolved them, finding that she was not a credible witness. In part of the ruling, the court noted that the suspects had found her unattractive and too “masculine” to be a credible rape victim.

The conviction was overturned by an all-female panel in 2017 despite medics reportedly claiming the woman’s injuries were consistent with rape. The details concerning the reasoning behind the overturned conviction only became public earlier this month, however, according to The Daily Mail. “The Court of Cassation said Wednesday its own reasons for ordering the retrial will be issued next month,” noted the outlet. . .

The lawyer said the judges who overturned the conviction claimed his client was not credible because the men she accused “didn’t find her attractive, she was too masculine.”

Molinaro also said that the female judges further supported their ruling by noting that one of the accused men “saved the woman’s number in his phone as ‘Viking,’ and stated that the ‘photograph present in her file would appear to confirm this,’” CNN reports.

Aunt Becky Booted From ‘Fuller House’ for College Bribery Scandal

/0 Comments/in , /by

Page Six reports that Netflix has removed Aunt Becky from “Fuller House,” the spin-off to the ’90s sitcom “Full House” that made stars of John Stamos and the Olsen twins. “The streaming service has booted actress Lori Loughlin from her role in ‘Fuller House’ in the wake of this week’s college admissions scandal,” reports the outlet. . .

Loughlin being dropped from the iconic show that catapulted her to success comes one day after the Hallmark channel announced she would no longer be a featured talent.

“We are saddened by the recent news surrounding the college admissions allegations,” Hallmark Channel’s parent-company Crown Media said in a statement to Fox News. “We are no longer working with Lori Loughlin and have stopped development of all productions that air on the Crown Media Family Network channels involving Lori Loughlin, including ‘Garage Sale Mysteries,’ an independent third-party production. We are evaluating all creative options related to ‘When Calls the Heart’ series.”

Loughlin was released from police custody on a $1 million bond this week after being charged for participating in a massive college bribery scheme the FBI code-named “Operation Varsity Blues.” She and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, have been accused of “agreeing to pay $500,000 in bribes to have their two daughters designated as recruits for the University of Southern California crew team,” according to a Fox News report on Thursday.

As a result of the charges, E News reports that a source says Loughlin and her husband’s life has become a “terrible nightmare,” with the family now living in seclusion. (Read more from “Aunt Becky Booted From ‘Fuller House’ for College Bribery Scandal” HERE)
