Illegal Alien Convicted of Raping Dog to Death RELEASED by Sanctuary State

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. An illegal alien convicted of raping a dog to death was released by the sanctuary state of Oregon after being sentenced to just 60 days in prison.

As Breitbart News reported, illegal alien Fidel Lopez, 52-years-old, was convicted last month and sentenced to 60 days in prison after raping his girlfriend’s small Lhasa Apso which led to the dog’s death. The judge in the case said he would have given the illegal alien more prison time but that 60 days is the maximum sentence allowed in Oregon.

Following his sentence, Lopez was immediately released because he had already served 60 days while waiting to stand trial. Despite his illegal alien status, Multnomah County, Oregon officials released Lopez back into the community.

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency had requested that the illegal alien be turned over to them for deportation should he be released from prison. The sanctuary state officials ignored the ICE request and released the illegal alien into the public.

Man Convicted of Raping His Fiancee’s Dog to Death

By NY Daily News. Federal immigration officials lashed out at authorities in Multnomah County, Oregon, and local sanctuary laws Thursday after a man residing in the U.S. illegally was set free upon serving 60 days for raping a dog to death. . .

But ICE says the county should have notified the agency at least 48 hours before Lopez was let go so they could apprehend him on immigration violations.

“On April 8, Lopez was convicted of sexual assault of an animal and aggravated animal abuse and sentenced to 60 days in jail with credit for time served,” said Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) spokeswoman Tanya J. Roman in a statement. “The Multnomah County Jail did not honor the immigration detainer and released him without notice to ICE.” (Read more from “Man Convicted of Raping His Fiancee’s Dog to Death” HERE)

Here’s What Michael Cohen Told House Intelligence Committee Behind Closed Doors

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Townhall. The House Intelligence Committee on Monday released transcripts of Michael Cohen’s closed-door testimony that took place in February and March. The Committee voted 12-7 to make the transcripts public.

The first transcript, from Feb. 28, focuses on Cohen’s business dealings on behalf of Donald Trump. He talks about how Trump often had him renegotiate deals after they were set in stone. The general rule of thumb for negotiations was to pay 20 cents on the dollar. . .

The second transcript, from March 6, focuses on how Trump’s other attorney, Jay Sekulow, had reviewed and edited the written statement about the Moscow project. (Read more from “Here’s What Michael Cohen Told House Intelligence Committee Behind Closed Doors” HERE)

Cohen Claimed Trump’s Lawyer Shaped His False Statement to Congress

By AP. President Donald Trump’s former fixer, Michael Cohen, told Congress it was Mr. Trump’s personal attorney, Jay Sekulow, who suggested he tell lawmakers that the negotiations for Trump Tower Moscow ended in January 2016, even though they continued for months after that.

The House Intelligence Committee on Monday released two transcripts of closed-door interviews with Cohen from earlier this year, along with some exhibits from the testimony. Cohen, who is serving a three-year prison sentence, pleaded guilty last year and admitted that he misled Congress by saying he had abandoned the Trump Tower Moscow project months earlier than he actually did.

During the interviews, legislators repeatedly pressed Cohen for details on his false statement to Congress and tried to nail down whether he was directly told by Mr. Trump’s legal team to mislead the committee, but the transcripts provide no slam-dunk evidence.

President Trump Lashes out at Fox News

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Blaze. President Donald Trump railed against Fox News during his rally Monday for holding a town hall event with one of his presidential opponents, South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg.

“What is going on with Fox? What is going on there?” he said at the Pennsylvania rally.

Fox News held a town hall event with Buttigieg, who is in third place among the more than two dozen candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination.

“They’re putting more Democrats on than you have Republicans,” Trump lamented.

“I did want to watch, you always have to watch the competition, if you want to call it,” Trump continued. “And he was knocking the hell out of Fox and Fox has put him there. Someone’s going to have to explain the whole Fox deal to me.” (Read more from “President Trump Lashes out at Fox News” HERE)

Trump hits Fox News after Buttigieg town hall: ‘What is going on with Fox?’

By The Hill. President Trump took a swipe at Fox News during his campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Monday night, questioning the network for hosting a town hall with Democratic presidential candidates such as South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg. . .

“I did want to watch, you always have to watch the competition, if you want to call it,” Trump continued referring to Buttigieg’s town hall Sunday evening. “And he was knocking the hell out of Fox and Fox has put him there. Someone’s going to have to explain the whole Fox deal to me.”

The criticism comes as a surprise from Trump, who frequently hits so-called “fake news” networks but mostly praises Fox News. In 2017, Trump praised “Fox & Friends” for being named “most influential” because he watches the show, and has appeared for over a dozen interviews on the network since becoming president.

WATCH: Americans Gladly Offer The Most Insane, Disgusting Arguments For Abortion

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Blaze. “Slightly Offens*ve” host Elijah Schaffer headed to the Hollywood Walk of Fame to ask fellow Californians what they think about Georgia’s new abortion bill, which bans all abortions once a fetal heartbeat can be detected, and Alabama’s new law that effectively bans all abortions. . .

“I don’t want a baby. I’m already struggling to lose weight,” said one of the women.

“I don’t think a baby is a baby. It’s a parasite,” added the other. . .

The conversation took an bizarre and unexpected turn when the woman suddenly announced, “I think if I saw a baby on the street in a trash can, I’d probably pick it up.”

The two women then compared abortion to euthanizing animals for “population control.”

Ultrasound photo brings wrath of abortion-supporters

By Life Site News. Abortion activists tried to cover the image of an unborn baby smiling in the womb Tuesday during a rally in the Rhode Island statehouse over a controversial proposed bill to expand abortion in state law.

Hundreds of pro-life advocates and abortion-supporters convened at the state’s capitol Tuesday as the Senate Judiciary Committee was set to vote on the legislation. The bill, which pro-life residents termed as extreme and going far beyond Roe v. Wade, failed to pass the committee.

The image that the abortion activists wanted covered was a smiling baby captured in a 4-D ultrasound, on a roughly 4’x 4’ sign that also included the text “Save me.”

During the demonstration, pro-abortion activists tried to cover the image of the smiling unborn child, primarily with Planned Parenthood-produced promotional signs that stated, “Protect safe, legal abortion.” . . .

While several states, such as Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, Georgia, and Ohio, have passed strong pro-life laws to protect the unborn from abortion, and others like Louisiana and Missouri are close to joining them, a number have followed New York’s lead from January of this year, moving to codify unrestricted abortion on demand until birth in their state laws should Roe v. Wade be overturned. Rhode Island is among these latter states with its “Reproductive Healthcare Act.” (Read more from “Ultrasound photo brings wrath of abortion-supporters” HERE)

Gorsuch Sides with Liberal Justices in Hunting Case

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Townhall. Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch broke with conservatives and sided with the liberal wing of the Court on Monday.

The case, Herrera v. Wyoming, called into question a federal treaty from 1868 that allowed members of the Crow Tribe of Indians to hunt on “unoccupied lands of the United States” when Wyoming was admitted to the Union. Clayvin Herrera is a tribal member who hunted in the Bighorn National Forest and was charged for hunting during the off season. The Supreme Court had to decide if the treaty was still in effect or were nullified when Wyoming became a state in 1890. (Read more from “Gorsuch Sides with Liberal Justices in Hunting Case” HERE)

Gorsuch Breaks with Conservative Justices, Delivering Win to Native American Hunter

By Fox News. One of President Trump’s nominees sided Monday with the liberal wing of the Supreme Court for the second time in two weeks, as Justice Neil Gorsuch joined a narrow majority in support of a Native American man convicted for hunting in a national forest. . .

The opinion by Justice Sonia Sotomayor – and joined by Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Elena Kagan, Stephen Breyer, and Gorsuch – ruled that the treaty indeed still applies, and that Crow member Clayvin Herrera was improperly convicted of off-season hunting in Bighorn National Forest in 2014.

The court’s 5-4 ruling, which vacated the decision from the state appellate court, is based on the 1999 decision in Minnesota v. Mille Lacs Band of Chippewa Indians. In that case, the Supreme Court said that a territory gaining statehood is not enough “to extinguish Indian treaty rights to hunt, fish, and gather on land within state boundaries.” The court went further in that case, stating that Congress “must clearly express” an intention to end a treaty with a Native American tribe in order for the treaty’s rights to expire.

By siding with the traditionally liberal justices, Gorsuch gave them a 5-4 majority in the case.

The opinion came exactly one week after Trump’s other nominee, Justice Brett Kavanaugh, sided with liberals in a 5-4 decision that he wrote, ruling that Apple could be sued by iPhone owners over high prices in their App Store.

A Pregnant ‘Man’s’ Medical Emergency Proves a HUGE ISSUE with Transgenderism

/0 Comments/in , , /by

When the [woman] arrived at the hospital with severe abdominal pains, a nurse didn’t consider it an emergency, noting that [she] was obese and had stopped taking blood pressure medicines. In reality, [she] was pregnant — a transgender man in labor that was about to end in a stillbirth.

The tragic case, described in Wednesday’s New England Journal of Medicine, points to larger issues about assigning labels or making assumptions in a society increasingly confronting gender variations in sports, entertainment and government. In medicine, there’s a similar danger of missing diseases such as sickle cell and cystic fibrosis that largely affect specific racial groups, the authors write. . .

Transgender men, who are considered female at birth but who identify as male, may or may not be using masculinizing hormones or have had surgical alterations, such as womb removal.

The 32-year-old patient told the nurse [she] was transgender when [she] arrived at the emergency room and [her[ electronic medical record listed [her] as male. [She] hadn’t had a period in several years and had been taking testosterone, a hormone that has masculinizing effects and can decrease ovulation and menstruation. But [she] quit taking the hormone and blood pressure medication after he lost insurance. . .

Several hours later, a doctor evaluated [her] and the hospital test confirmed pregnancy. An ultrasound showed unclear signs of fetal heart activity, and an exam revealed that part of the umbilical cord had slipped into the birth canal. Doctors prepared to do an emergency cesarean delivery, but in the operating room no fetal heartbeat was heard. Moments later, the [woman] delivered a stillborn baby.

Recent Poll Reveals Trump Is KILLING IT

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Wire. According to a new Zogby poll, President Trump is killing it. His job approval has climbed over 50%, (51%) the highest of his tenure as president, higher than Barack Obama’s (48%) was at the same time in his presidency.

Additionally, the majority of millennials (18-29) approve of the president (51%); even more of the age group from 25-34 approves of him (53%), and even more of those aged 35-54 (59%). 58% of men approved of Trump, a slim minority of women (48%) approved of him. . .

Zogby wrote, “President Trump’s job approval rating has seen a post Mueller report boost! We called it a few weeks ago. But that’s not the complete story as to why the president has reached a peak in his job approval rating. Trump is also riding high on positive economic news-a record high stock market, low unemployment, and solid GDP growth at home.” (Read more from “Recent Poll Reveals Trump Is Killing It” HERE)

Poll: Most Americans Say Trump’s Trade Talks with China Won’t Improve U.S. Economy

By The Hill. Two-thirds of registered voters said they don’t expect President Trump’s trade negotiations with China to result in better economic conditions for Americans, according to a poll.

In a Hill-HarrisX survey released Monday, 36 percent said the talks would make things worse while 31 percent said they don’t think the negotiations will make a difference. Thirty-three percent said the talks will lead to more jobs and economic opportunities.

Democrats and Republicans were divided in their predictions, but not as starkly as they were on other matters, such as approval of president’s job performance.

Fifty-eight percent of Democrats said they believed Trump’s China negotiations would result in fewer jobs and economic opportunities, compared with 59 percent of Republicans who said they would improve things.

Today’s Deep State Crisis Was Predicted 100 Years Ago

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Paid Agitators? Deep State? Calvin Coolidge exposes their plan to have “authority over everybody” and “responsible to nobody”.

President Calvin Coolidge warned in a speech given May 15, 1926, at the College of William and Mary: “But there is another … recent development … the greatly disproportionate influence of organized minorities. Artificial propaganda, paid agitators, selfish interests, all impinge upon members of legislative bodies to force them to represent special elements rather than the great body of their constituency. When they are successful, minority rule is established. … The result is an extravagance on the part of the Government which is ruinous to the people and a multiplicity of regulations and restrictions for the conduct of all kinds of necessary business, which becomes little less than oppressive. …”

Coolidge continued, exposing the autocratic deep-state bureaucracy: “No plan of centralization has ever been adopted which did not result in bureaucracy, tyranny, inflexibility, reaction, and decline. Of all forms of government, those administered by bureaus are about the least satisfactory to an enlightened and progressive people. Being irresponsible they become autocratic. … Unless bureaucracy is constantly resisted it breaks down representative government and overwhelms democracy. It … sets up the pretense of having authority over everybody and being responsible to nobody. …”

. . . Calvin Coolidge gave insight into America’s success at maintaining order in his address at the 150th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, Philadelphia, July 5, 1926: “The principles … which went into the Declaration of Independence … are found in … the sermons … of the early colonial clergy who were earnestly undertaking to instruct their congregations in the great mystery of how to live. They preached equality because they believed in the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. They justified freedom by the text that we are all created in the divine image. … Placing every man on a plane where he acknowledged no superiors, where no one possessed any right to rule over him, he must inevitably choose his own rulers through a system of self-government. … In order that they might have freedom to express these thoughts and opportunity to put them into action, whole congregations with their pastors migrated to the colonies. …”

Coolidge concluded: “The Declaration of Independence is a great spiritual document. … Equality, liberty, popular sovereignty, the rights of man – these are … ideals. They have their source and their roots in the religious convictions. They belong to the unseen world. Unless the faith of the American in these religious convictions is to endure, the principles of our Declaration will perish. We can not continue to enjoy the result if we neglect and abandon the cause.” (Read more from “Today’s Deep State Crisis Was Predicted 100 Years Ago” HERE)

WATCH: Reporter Fires Hostile Question at Pro-Life Governor. Governor Flattens Her.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Before she signed the strongest anti-abortion bill in the nation on Wednesday, Alabama Governor Kay Ivey faced down a hostile question from a CBS reporter and immediately flattened her. CBS reporter Jericka Duncan asked, “Where is the money coming from to support people who aren’t ready to be mothers or aren’t financially stable to take care of a child?” Ivey fired back, “You simply cannot defer protecting the lives of unborn children because of costs.”

Ivey served as Alabama State Treasurer from 2003 to 2011, then served as lieutenant governor from 2011 to 2017. She became Alabama’s second female governor and first female Republican governor after the resignation of Governor Robert Bentley; she won a full term in 2018.

Ivey has not flinched from holding staunchly conservative positions; in April 2017 she signed into law a bill stating that juries that imposed capital punishment could not be overruled by judges. Frank Knaack, executive director of Alabama Appleseed, asserted, “We should all agree that if we have a death penalty then the process should be fair and accurate. SB 16 will help minimize unreliable and arbitrary death sentences and move Alabama one step closer to ending its outlier status. We commend Senator Brewbaker, Senator Sanders, and Representative England for their leadership in this effort. And, we thank Governor Ivey for her quick action to finally put an end to judicial override in Alabama.” (Read more from “WATCH: Reporter Fires Hostile Question at Pro-Life Governor.

This Is the GOP Senator Who Is Keeping The Russian Collusion Myth Alive

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Townhall. Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC), what the he** is going on? No, seriously, why did you subpoena Donald Trump Jr. over this Russian collusion nonsense? Special Counsel Robert Mueller has debunked this story. The report was definitive. There was no Trump-Russia collusion. There was zero evidence to back up any of the claims the liberal media has peddled for two years. A lot of us knew this from the get-go. When no evidence was unearthed to back up the Russian collusion myth, which was a massive red flag that the Left ignored, that was the sign. Liberals hoped for a smoking gun and got a nothing burger. Trump won. And even the Senate Intelligence Committee, which Burr chairs, noted that there was zero evidence to back up Russia-Trump collusion. Yet, Burr wishes to keep the conspiracy theory wingnuts of the Left thirsty for more when he issued a subpoena for Donald Trump Jr.’s testimony.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) channeled his inner 2.0-self and advised Trump Jr. to ignore it. We’ve already won. But now it’s being reported that a deal has been hashed out for the president’s son to answer two-to-four hours worth of questions. It won’t be an open-ended session and it’s most likely going to be behind closed doors. A June date has been set (via NYT):

Donald Trump Jr. and the Republican-controlled Senate Intelligence Committee reached a deal on Tuesday for the president’s eldest son to sit for a private interview with senators in the coming weeks that will be limited in time, an accord that should cool a heated intraparty standoff.

The deal came after an aggressive push by the younger Trump’s allies, who accused the Intelligence Committee’s chairman, Senator Richard M. Burr of North Carolina, of caving to Democrats by issuing a subpoena for the president’s son’s testimony. They called the effort a political hit job against the White House, using the president’s son as fodder.

At odds on many fronts, U.S. and Russia hope for better ties

By The Associated Press. Russia and the United States voiced hope Tuesday that badly strained relations could begin to improve despite wide differences on multiple fronts and deep mutual suspicion deepened by Russian meddling in American elections.

With tensions running high over Iran, Syria, Ukraine and Venezuela, Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed vindication from the investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election and said he thought it was time to move on. Meanwhile, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo conveyed President Donald Trump’s interest in restoring better ties.

In the highest-level face-to-face contact between the two countries since special counsel Robert Mueller’s report was released last month, Putin told Pompeo he hoped relations with the U.S. would now improve. (Read more from “At odds on many fronts, U.S. and Russia hope for better ties” HERE)
