Lawmakers in California on Saturday passed “sanctuary state” legislation to limit police cooperation with federal immigration authorities and give illegal immigrations additional protections from federal law enforcement.
Sabine Durden, a legal immigrant and “Angel Mom,” blasted the approved bill on Fox & Friends Monday morning.
“It’s an insult. It’s insanity on steroids to claim that this is protecting the immigrant community,” Durden said.
“They don’t protect anybody but their votes and their cheap labor, and they’re placing every American and every legal immigrant like me in danger because everybody’s gonna flood to California like they flooded to other sanctuary cities.”
“At what point will politicians, and mayors, and governors finally stand up for those who belong here, and take care of us?”
Durden is not an activist by choice. Durden’s son, Dominic, was killed five years ago in a fatal motorcycle crash involving an illegal immigrant. On July 12, 2012, Dominic, 30, was traveling to work when Juan Zacarias Lopez Tzun took a wrong turn driving an unlicensed pickup truck. Dominic was killed instantly in the crash. Tzun was an illegal immigrant from Guatemala with a record of drunk driving convictions.
Durden told the hosts of Fox & Friends that she wouldn’t be talking to them right now if the United States had enforced its immigration laws.
“My son would still be alive, so many others would still be alive if our politicians and elected officials would finally stand up for us,” an emotional Durden said. “I don’t understand it, I still don’t get it, why they fight so hard for illegals who don’t have a right to be here.”
Asked to comment on President Trump’s handling of the illegal immigration issue, Durden said, “I will stand with my president,” but “there are things I wish we would be further on.”
“I would love to extend an invitation to my president to meet with me, meet me for ten minutes, and let me refresh what we talked about on July 10, 2015, and help him understand how important it is to not allow amnesty for anybody here,” Durden said.
“We have Americans in need. We have people that need our government. I’m at loss how slow things are moving, how slow Congress and [the] Senate are moving.” (For more from the author of “‘Angel Mom’ Blasts CA Sanctuary State ‘Insanity'” please click HERE) http://joemiller.us/2017/09/angel-mom-blasts-ca-sanctuary-state-insanity/
In a new interview, Hillary Clinton revealed that she had no idea why people chanted “lock her up” during the 2016 election.
Clinton told NPR that “the first time [I was] actually aware of hearing [Lock Her Up] was at the Republican convention. I think it went on before that. I didn’t pay a lot of attention to it. I thought, ‘OK, fine. He is whipping up his crowds. He is throwing them red meat, and I’m Exhibit A of that.’”
“But when they brought it inside to their convention, so that it became, in effect, part of the historic record of the general election, I was stunned,” She continued. “I thought, What are they talking about and why are they saying this?”
Clinton also added that it was “not only wrong — because obviously there was no basis for it — but it was politics at a very high level being affected by the most dangerous partisan hyperbole.” (Read more from “Hillary Had No Idea Why People Chanted ‘Lock Her Up’ During The Election” HERE) http://joemiller.us/2017/09/hillary-no-idea-people-chanted-lock-election/
This is … this is just … there’s nothing I can write that will prepare you for what will undoubtedly be the worst campaign advertisement you’ve ever seen.
Meet Dan Helmer. He’s a Democrat running for Congress in Virginia’s 10th district against Republican Rep. Barbara Comstock. He just released this new campaign ad, and I made it 14 seconds before I had to turn it off.
Can you do better?
My editor said I had to watch the whole thing if I wanted to write about it, so, let’s discuss.
Everything is wrong with this vid. The cheesy “Top Gun” rip-off in the beginning. The “Veteran” t-shirt that lets you know, “Hey, this guy is a veteran!” Because, apparently, there was no subtler way to tell people that.
And then there’s the atmosphere. This guy pulls up on a motorcycle to a driving, crunchy guitar riff and walks into a bar. What a badass.
Then Mr. Badass Democrat breaks into off-key sing-song. “Cringe-worthy” is an understatement.
Everything you need to know about this ad can be summed up by the first YouTube comment from Ipayne5001: “Yo bro there’s still time to remove this before anyone sees it.”
It’s too late, Ipayne5001. We’ve seen it, and we can’t go back. (For more from the author of “Democrat Releases WORST Campaign Ad You Will EVER See” please click HERE) http://joemiller.us/2017/09/democrat-releases-worst-campaign-ad-will-ever-see/
By Evan Perez, Shimon Prokupecz and Pamela Brown. US investigators wiretapped former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort under secret court orders before and after the election, sources tell CNN, an extraordinary step involving a high-ranking campaign official now at the center of the Russia meddling probe.
The government snooping continued into early this year, including a period when Manafort was known to talk to President Donald Trump.
Some of the intelligence collected includes communications that sparked concerns among investigators that Manafort had encouraged the Russians to help with the campaign, according to three sources familiar with the investigation. Two of these sources, however, cautioned that the evidence is not conclusive.
Special counsel Robert Mueller’s team, which is leading the investigation into Russia’s involvement in the election, has been provided details of these communications. (Read more from “U.S. Wiretapped Former Trump Campaign Chairman” HERE)

Trump’s Former Campaign Chairman Paul Manafort Was Wiretapped by U.S. Government
By Harriet Sinclair. Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort was wiretapped by U.S. investigators prior to and following the 2016 presidential election, sources claim. The wiretapping of Manafort as part of the investigation into Russia’s alleged interference in the U.S. election came under court orders, sources with knowledge of the issue told CNN . . .
The investigation and surveillance of Manafort was subsequently dropped in 2016, the sources told CNN, but began once again under a new order from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, as part of the FBI’s investigation into possible links between Trump’s team and Russia in the lead-up to the 2016 presidential election, the sources added.
Manafort, who denied any wrongdoing in August 2016 after The New York Times revealed that he was due to receive a cash payment from Ukraine’s ruling party, was also present at the controversial meeting between Donald Trump Jr. and Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya, ahead of which Trump’s eldest son was promised damaging information about Hillary Clinton.
Although surveillance of Manafort is believed to have taken place both during the campaign and after Trump assumed office, no recordings of the meeting with Veselnitskaya — which has now become a part of the greater Russia probe – have been found. However, the surveillance period could have included times when Manafort spoke with Trump after the latter took office.

Addressing the congressman’s proposal, ACU Communication Director Ian Walter flatly stated Rep. Shuster should “withdraw the bill and start from scratch working with all stakeholders and Senate counterparts and agency officials to come up with a bill that achieves real privatization.” That sounds like a great idea — but isn’t this exactly what the current privatization bill does in the first place?
Well, no. First, the current plan lacks virtually any hint of private-sector involvement — let alone competition — and is instead a government-run effort. This is the exactly the bureaucracy against which the backlash toward privatization was formed. Second, the Department of Transportation (DOT) would be charged with populating the new enterprise with employees. Again, the point behind privatization is to cut through the decades of FAA and DOT red tape and entrenchment that have produced very little, relatively, for the money, and to provide efficient, cost-effective services to NAS stakeholders. Asking DOT to be engaged in such an effort is to invite a return to the unsatisfactory status quo. Third, the so-called “privatized” board would be comprised almost entirely of union representatives and airline industry lobbyists, rather than a cross-section of stakeholders reflecting the actual use of the nation’s airspace services.
In short, “privatization” as used in this privatization bill appears to be an Orwellian oxymoron. Further nailing down the coffin lid on this bill is an additional complication that has been standing hair up on the necks of conservative watchdogs: The rumor is Rep. Schuster has been trolling House catacombs for Dem votes, since support is substantially lacking among GOP House members. Fortunately, neither side favors the current construct and such votes are unlikely — hence, the initiative has yet to appear on the House agenda.
Despite the current bill’s fatal shortfalls, we still strongly support privatizing the U.S. National Airspace System. But that support extends only to the extent the NAS is truly privatized, meaning any privatization initiative must begin with a call for competitive private sector proposals and it must remain driven by free market forces throughout the vetting process. As for the current effort: Nice try. Try harder. ~The Patriot Post https://patriotpost.us/articles/51344

The grant also states that “the research will be the basis of systematic development and formative refinement of an online SafeZone course to provide inclusion training to engineering students and professionals nationwide.” Is this science or politically motivated social engineering?
The federal government’s use of “science” to further push the normalization of transgenderism onto the American public doesn’t stop there. The National Institutes of Health will be spending $200,000 on “exploratory or developmental research on the health of transgender and gender nonconforming people.” The NIH announcement further stated, “Transgender and gender nonconforming people encompass individuals whose gender identity differs from the sex on their original birth certificate, including individuals who are making or who have made a transition from being identified as one gender to the other, as well as individuals who are questioning their gender identity, who identify with more than one gender, or whose gender expression varies significantly from what is traditionally associated with or typical for that sex.”
It’s important to note that studying the problems of gender dysphoria and the impact it has on individuals is not unwarranted or unscientific research. But in today’s politically correct environment — where transgenderism is being celebrated as normal, and anyone questioning its normality or morality is labeled a bigot and a hater — it’s pretty clear this is an attempt to use “science” as a tool to further justify forcing the American public to accept transgenderism as normal. Even Sen. RINO-John McCain (R-AZ) is drinking the Rainbow Mafia’s Kool-Aid. He is co-sponsoring a bill that would prevent the military from banning transgenders from serving. ~The Patriot Post https://patriotpost.us/articles/51342

Many are connected to radical Communist groups, like the National Bolshevik Party (NBP)

Antifa and BLM showed up at that counter-protest with absolutely no intention of anything peaceful. They came armed with balloons full of chemicals and items to throw. They came to instigate fights.
Both sides have horrific ideology. But Antifa and BLM are the ones who have a record of riots and violence. Pointing that out in no way gives the white supremacists.
As horrific is the white supremacists are in ideology, they have not been burning things down and causing riots. Again, that does not excuse white supremacists. What it does do is keep liberals, as they have been doing, from relegating BLM and Antifa to: “Peaceful counter-protesters.”
Liberals can spout their false narrative of “simply because one side “had a permit.” They can believe the false narrative of “simply because one side “had a permit.” And they can “simply because one side “had a permit.” all you want. It BLATANTLY goes against facts on the ground.
The President was correct, both sides are vile.
Just in case you want to accuse me of making excuses for white supremacists: They are evil, vile, disgusting, and I was saying that 35 years ago.
Source: Feds have at least six open cases looking at ISIS support in Minnesota | Star Tribune
The St. Louis Park family had just started a two-month vacation with relatives in Morocco in 2015 when they noticed that their 18-year-old son was on his cellphone even more than usual.
He told them it was just a distraction while adjusting to the Casablanca area, a place he found more hectic than his suburban hometown.
But within days, Abdelhamid Al-Madioum had disappeared.
His parents now know that the young man had secretly booked a flight to Istanbul, on his way to Syria to join the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
His case, laid out in newly unsealed court filings, is the first new disclosure of a young Minnesotan attempting the terrorism pilgrimage since the high-profile prosecution of nine Twin Cities men drew national attention last year.
And while that case seemed to close a chapter on one of the FBI’s biggest terror recruitment probes, the new documents underscore what federal authorities have been quietly saying for months: Their investigation of terrorist recruiting in Minnesota is far from finished.
In addition to Al-Madioum’s case, the Star Tribune has identified at least five other open investigations alleging ISIS support in Minnesota, with cases from 2015 to as recently as late last year.
Officials from the FBI and the U.S. attorney’s office in Minneapolis would not comment on Al-Madioum’s case. But search warrant affidavits reviewed by the Star Tribune outline an intricate plan by the young man, including months of careful preparation involving money transfers and border crossings.
Searching his bedroom in St. Louis Park, FBI agents found handwritten notes with a sketch of the symbol that adorns the ISIS flag, next to the word “allegiance” written in Arabic.
In another, the young man wrote: “If we leave the U.S. with no one stopping us, we have succeeded.”
Secret plans
Al-Madioum, a naturalized U.S. citizen, was to spend two months with his family visiting relatives in Morocco in June 2015. His parents later told investigators that he skipped dinner on July 7 and said he wasn’t feeling well, but still prayed and visited with family until going to bed about 3 a.m.
The next day, finding him gone, relatives scoured local hospitals and police stations, according to the FBI’s search warrant application. Their home’s front-door key was missing, as were Al-Madioum’s cellphone and passport. His other possessions had been left behind.
Soon, Moroccan officials told the family that Al-Madioum had booked a flight to Turkey that left Casablanca hours after they last saw him. In many cases, according to an agent’s sworn affidavit, aspiring ISIS militants try to cross into Syria by first traveling to Istanbul.
After several failed attempts to reach their son by text and social media, the family went to the U.S. Consulate to ask for the FBI’s help, according to the search warrant. On Aug. 21, they returned home without him.
Meanwhile, the family allowed the FBI to search its home in St. Louis Park. Agents retrieved three laptops and two hard drives, along with pages of handwritten notes in Al-Madioum’s bedroom.
The notes showed that Al-Madioum had created a “flow chart” of how he planned to route money through alternative bank accounts to make sure he had access to funds “should his travel plans become obstructed.” He listed “Ali’s account,” PayPal, MoneyGram and “paying someone on the spot” among his options, according to the FBI’s search warrant application.
He also wrote down questions like the maximum withdrawal limit for his check card and how to prove his identity over the phone. The FBI said Al-Madioum also appeared to write out a “rehearsed backstop story” should border officials question him as he tried to enter Turkey.
Al-Madioum’s family has since moved out of St. Louis Park. A woman and man who answered the phone at a new Twin Cities-area address listed for the family declined to comment for this story.
The FBI’s investigation into the case is still open, and a spokesman declined to comment on the case.
Another well-vetted Muslim refugee?
The New York Times, like all the establishment media, takes the jihadis’ side, portraying the conflict in Myanmar as “Buddhist terrorist” raging out of control. And so here the Times quotes the imam Nazir Hossain: “As imam, I encouraged them never to step back from their mission. I told them that if they did not fight to the death, the military would come and kill their families, their women and their children.”
However, as the case also with Israel and the “Palestinians,” if the Rohingya Muslims didn’t attack the Buddhists and boast of imminent conquest, they would be left alone. The jihad imperative, once again, is what has created this conflict.
“Rohingya Militants Vow to Fight Myanmar Despite Disastrous Cost,” by Hannah Beech, New York Times, September 17, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
BALUKHALI, Bangladesh — Nazir Hossain, the imam of a village in far western Myanmar, gathered the faithful around him after evening prayers last month. In a few hours, more than a dozen Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army fighters from his village would strike a nearby police post with an assortment of handmade weapons.
The men needed their cleric’s blessing.
“As imam, I encouraged them never to step back from their mission,” Mr. Hossain recalled of his final words to the ethnic Rohingya militants. “I told them that if they did not fight to the death, the military would come and kill their families, their women and their children.”
They fought — joining an Aug. 25 assault by thousands of the group’s fighters against Myanmar’s security forces — and the retaliation came down anyway. Since then, Myanmar’s troops and vigilante mobs have unleashed a scorched-earth operation on Rohingya populations in northern Rakhine State in Myanmar, sending hundreds of thousands fleeing their homes in a campaign that the United Nations has called ethnic cleansing.
From its start four years ago as a small-scale effort to organize a Rohingya resistance, ARSA — which is known locally as Harakah al-Yaqin, or the Faith Movement — has managed to stage two deadly attacks on Myanmar’s security forces: one last October and the other last month.
But in lashing out against the government, the militants have also made their own people a target. And they have handed Myanmar’s military an attempt at public justification by saying that it is fighting terrorism, even as it has burned down dozens of villages and killed fleeing women and children.
This radicalization of a new generation of Rohingya, a Muslim minority in a Buddhist-majority country, adds fuel to an already combustible situation in Rakhine, Myanmar’s poorest state….
Muslim Pupils Take Over School To Pray, Principal Just Has PERFECT Announcement

( I have to ask are not getting tire of Hollywood call you a Nazis, racist, and white supremacist! we just keep right on supporting with our dollars! )
Principles for a FREE SOCIETY
On Sunday, Hollywood liberals gathered for the 69th Primetime Emmy Awards, which, the Daily Caller said, “got political” right from the beginning, “with mentions of President Donald Trump, the Russia investigation and global warming, just to name a few.”
Julia Louis-Dreyfus, for example, sang about how nice it would be to have a president who “was not beloved by Nazis,” the UK Daily Mail said.
Keep in mind that according to liberals, pretty much anyone who supports the president is a white supremacist and a Nazi.
The Daily Mail added:
The 56-year-old actress won Outstanding Actress in a Comedy Series for the the sixth consecutive year en route to tying a record for most acting awards ever.
The big win for HBO comedy series Veep ties her with acting legend Cloris Leachman for most ever by a performer as they both have eight gongs total.
But during her speech, she managed to get another jab at the 45th President.
“We did have a whole storyline about impeachment but we abandoned that because we were worried that someone else might get to it first,” she said while accepting her trophy.
A post at Vulture called her smear one of the “best” Trump “jokes” at the Emmys.
— “And we all know the Emmys mean a lot to Donald Trump. Because he was nominated multiple times for Celebrity Apprentice but he never won. Why didn’t you give him an Emmy? I tell you this. If he had won an Emmy, I bet he wouldn’t have run for president. So in a way this is all your fault.”
— “I thought you people loved morally compromised antiheroes. You like Walter White. He’s just Walter Much Whiter.”
— “But he didn’t. Because unlike the presidency, Emmys go to the winner of the popular vote.”
Unemployed man Sean Spicer assured Stephen Colbert that the crowds were huge — yuge! — telling him, “This will be the largest audience to witness an Emmys, period, both in person and around the world.”
“Imagine if your president was not beloved by Nazis.” — Julia Louis-Dreyfus as her Veep character Selina Meyer from the cold open
“[Winston Churchill’s] life reminds us what courage & leadership in government really looks like.” — John Lithgow during his acceptance speech
Got that? Calling 60+ million people “Nazis” is a joke, according to the Hollywood left.
Host Stephen Colbert also insinuated that Trump is a traitor.
More from the Daily Caller:
“‘The Americans’ has hotter spies, than the Russia inquiry,” Colbert added, as a shot of Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump shaking hands flashing across the screen. “Even treason’s better on TV.”
“Look on the bright side handmaids [‘The Handmaid’s Tale’] at least your healthcare is free,” he continued. “The dark futures always brighter on TV.”
“So, friends I know that the world may be the worst we’ve ever seen, but it’s never been better on your TV screen.”
Let’s face it — if you support the president, Hollywood leftists hate your guts.
( So are you surprised after all look who her parents are it runs in the family )
Chelsea Clinton falsely tweeted Friday that the Michigan House of Representatives had voted to allow emergency medical providers choice in treating patients, specifically giving EMTs the option to deny treatment to gay patients.
“Absolutely appalling,” the former First Daughter tweeted, “Michigan House Passed Bill Allowing EMTs To Refuse Treatment To Gay People.”
The story Clinton cited was from a website for the LGBT New Now Next Awards, and was posted in 2014. When followers pointed out the story was old, Clinton deleted her tweet.
Not only was the story old, but the actual premise was deeply flawed. What the Michigan House actually passed was a garden variety Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), which would have exempted religious individuals from laws that infringed on their religious beliefs.
Like most state RFRAs, the Michigan bill contained a clause that allows the state to infringe on religious beliefs when there’s a “compelling government interest.” The preservation of human life is widely considered to qualify, according to legal experts.

Sen. John McCain has teamed with Democrats to jump on the anti-Trump bandwagon once more.
The Arizona senator has co-sponsored a bill introduced by New York Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand that effectively blocks President Donald Trump’s order to ban transgender military service.
WE reports:
The stand-alone bill, which is also co-sponsored by Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., the top Armed Services Democrat, has the same language as an amendment proposed by Gillibrand and Collins this week for the National Defense Authorization Act that would prohibit the military from barring service based on gender. That amendment never received a floor vote due to a dispute between Republicans and Democrats over debate of the NDAA.
Last month, Trump ordered the military to phase out gender reassignment surgeries by March, abandon plans to begin recruiting transgender troops, and decide how to handle those already serving.
The White House said the intent of Trump’s presidential memorandum is to roll back the Obama administration decision to allow open transgender service beginning last summer.
Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said he is setting up a panel of experts to decide how to execute the president’s order.
SHARE on Facebook and Twitter if you agree that Sen. John McCain is an absolute disgrace!
State lawmakers acted Saturday to clear the last legislative hurdles to make California a “sanctuary state.”
The California Senate passed the bill early Saturday. Democrat Gov. Jerry Brown has indicated he will sign it.
Assemblyman Steven Choi, R-Irvine, who is also a first-generation immigrant from South Korea, said he came to the U.S. legally and the bill created “chaos” for a country built on law and order.
Republicans in the California Legislature remained opposed to the measure on Friday, saying it would tie the hands of law enforcement and compromise public safety.
“A lot of people talk about building a wall. This bill builds a wall between the federal government and our local partners and makes our communities less safe,” said James Gallagher, a Republican state assemblyman.
Some in law enforcement also opposed the new law.
“Our overarching concern remains that limiting local law enforcement’s ability to communicate and cooperate with federal law enforcement officers endangers public safety,” the California State Sheriffs’ Association said in a statement.
The California Values Act would forbid state and local law enforcement agencies from providing information to or acting as the deputies for federal immigration authorities. The bill also prohibits police and sheriffs’ officers from inquiring about a person’s immigration status.
The bill went through an intense amending process. The final version allows jail and prison officials to notify the federal government if they have arrested an illegal immigrant with a felony record and allows federal immigration officers to interview people in custody.
However, the law bans any local jail holding a detainee for additional jail time that would then allow federal authorities to take an illegal immigrant into custody.
The bill does include some exceptions, including suspects accused of the most violent or serious crimes.
“This bill here today helps some of us to believe that California is a safe place for immigrants, that we are a Golden State,” said Democrat Assemblyman Joaquin Arambula.
California is home to an estimated 2.3 million illegal immigrants. (For more from the author of “State Legislature OKs Law to Make California ‘Sanctuary State'” please click HERE) http://joemiller.us/2017/09/state-legislature-oks-law-make-california-sanctuary-state/
President Donald Trump is due to bring his signature “America First” message to the United Nations.
President Donald Trump’s speech to the United Nations is sure to spark fires.And don’t look for it to be received with applause and cheers. Most all the members of the United Nations are anti-sovereignty.
Just as many are anti-Trump.
The Washington Times reports:
President Trump arrives Monday at his first United Nations General Assembly on a mission to cultivate friendships and call out enemies, officials said, with a plan to aggressively put his “America First” agenda into action on the world stage.
Mr. Trump will be pushing reforms to the U.N. and rethinking America’s massive contributions, brokering economic deals around the world and trying to inspire global resolve to confront North Korea, Iran, Islamic State and other threats, top aides say.
“We can all say it is a new day at the U.N.,” said Nikki Haley, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. “It’s not just about talking. It’s about action.”
But the new course the president has charted for America has unnerved many of the roughly 120 world leaders who will gather in New York, many of whom were far more comfortable with President Obama. They will closely watch and listen for direction from the unpredictable new leader of the free world.
In eight months in office, Mr. Trump has demonstrated his willingness to use American military and economic power. Missile strikes on Syria, get-tough trade measures on China and threats of “fire and fury” against North Korea have many world leaders wondering what’s next.
“The world is still trying to take the measure of this president. World leaders still wake up in the morning if they happen to be a friend of the president of the United States, [and] they also wonder what does it mean to be a friend of the president,” said Jon Alterman, senior vice president of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington think tank. “For a number of leaders, this is going to be their first chance to see him, to judge him, to try to get on his good side.”
