Pope describes Trump’s planned deportations
of immigrants as a ‘disgrace’
Posted By: Dreadnought, 1/19/2025 9:17:01 PM
Pope Francis has criticized US President-elect Donald Trump’s plan to deport immigrants as a “disgrace.” The pontiff, speaking during an Italian television interview, was asked about the incoming Trump administration’s plans to expel undocumented immigrants through an aggressive slate of immigration executive orders by the incoming president, who will be inaugurated Monday. “If it is true, it will be a disgrace, because it makes the poor wretches who have nothing to pay the unpaid bill. It won’t do. This is not the way to solve things,” Francis said during the Sunday interview. The Pope has made advocacy for migrants a key part of his papacy,

Border czar Tom Homan said Thursday on Fox News Channel’s “The Will Cain Show” that deportation operations have begun in sanctuary cities.
Cain said, “But, on the other hand, Tom, in order to enforce this bill or any other ICE or Border Patrol measures, you’re going to have to deal with sanctuary cities, cities like Chicago. What are you going to do with sanctuary cities?”
Homan said, “Well, President Trump’s going to take action on them and like he did the last administration, we got to remove federal funding from them. Why are we giving them SCAT funding and other law enforcement funding when we’re not performing the law enforcement
The Trump administration wants four 10,000-bed detention centers to hold illegals as they are processed for repatriation to their home countries.
The planned new facilities would more than double the current holding capacity among the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s 14 current sites.
The plans were revealed in a selection of Customs and Border Protection documents reviewed by the Washington Post.
The costs of this expansion would likely be in the billions, funds that are currently not in CBP budgets. The funds needed would have to be provided by an act of Congress.
Going Into a Dogfight Over Hegseth

I like this - I like this a LOT.

Pete Hegseth has done everything required of him, done it with aplomb and dignity.
Not a soul was fooled nor mollified into caving 'Oh, well, we got one' by the polite 'unanimous vote for Marco' in the tailpipe trick.
Some of John Thune's threats must be beginning to work because the Senate got over their Ratcliffe procedural hissy fits...

You may or may not know the name "Brent Bozell," but surely you know his work as the founder and president of the Media Research Center.
They are the guys who have worked the longest and accomplished the most to expose the Left-wing bias of the Pravda Media. Back when the only thing we could do was b* about how biased the media was, Brent went to work documenting and exposing it. No doubt you have seen tens or hundreds of MRC clips online exposing the idiocy of the Pravda propagandists. I have used those videos countless times over the years.
Trump Torches Globalist Cabal at Davos

Get out the popcorn. President Donald Trump delivered a virtual address to the Communist, globalist World Economic Forum (WEF), and it was a masterful condemnation of the worst ideology of WEF, as well as a view of a prosperous future without globalists in charge.
Trump touched on a wide range of topics in his speech, including climate alarmism, gas/oil, artificial intelligence, the Ukraine-Russia war, biased debanking, deregulation, tariffs, OPEC, crypto, China, online censorship, and foreign aid. But no matter what he was talking about, his message was strongly America First,

One of the things that makes Vice President JD Vance so interesting is that he hasn't been a career politician, coming up from a tough situation to achieve so much by his own perseverance.
He showed that newness -- and wonder -- as he was introduced to the Oval Office for the first time. Only in America can a hardworking young man from Appalachia rise from his humble circumstances to enter the Oval for first time as VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. What a country! The family also had a great time at the inauguration, with his wife Usha looking at JD like every spouse would hope

As I've watched President Donald Trump's incredible energy over the last three days and the number of issues he pledged to accomplish, a thought has run through my head several times: This must all feel like death by 1,000 cuts to the Democrat Party and left as a whole.
At least those who are rational enough to see it.
As some on our side have said, Trump accomplished more in the first 48 hours of his second term than former President Joe Biden accomplished during four years of his miserably failed presidency. Now, an unlikely admirer of Trump's fast start, former Biden pollster and top Democrat Party strategist Celinda Lake
SEATTLE — A federal district court judge on Thursday temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order aimed at limiting birthright citizenship — the first skirmish in what promises to be a protracted legal battle over the new administration’s agenda.
Senior U.S. District Judge John C. Coughenour heard 25 minutes of arguments and then issued an order from the bench blocking the policy from taking effect for 14 days. There will be a further briefing on a preliminary injunction to permanently block the executive order while the case proceeds. "I’ve been on the bench for over four decades," Coughenour, a Ronald Reagan appointee, said. "I can’t remember another case
Refugees who were slated to travel to the United States after a years-long and often cumbersome process have had their flights canceled, according to a State Department memo to resettlement partners obtained by CNN.
The memo comes on the heels of President Donald Trump’s executive order suspending refugee admissions and marks another example of the swift impact his actions are already having. The move stands to affect thousands of refugees who had flights already scheduled.
“All previously scheduled travel of refugees to the United States is being cancelled, and no new travel bookings will be made. RSCs should not request travel for any additional refugee cases at this time,
President Donald Trump issued an executive order initiating a process to redesignate the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels as a foreign terrorist organization on Wednesday, returning the group to the same status it held at the end of his first administration.
"This order sets in motion a process by which Ansar Allah, also known as the Houthis, shall be considered for designation as a Foreign Terrorist Organization," the executive order said, noting that the group has "fired at U.S. Navy warships dozens of times since 2023, endangering American men and women in uniform," and attacked more than 100 commercial ships, killing four civilian sailors.
RedState’s Teri Christoph reported back in November that Donald Trump was leaning toward naming Sean Curran as his Secret Service director, and on Wednesday, the president made it official with a social media post and an email from the White House Office of Communications. Curran was depicted in iconic photos that will go down in history when he helped Trump stand up and shielded him in July after an assassin’s bullet missed taking the then-candidate’s life by millimeters. Curran is on the right of the bleeding Trump in the photo. Here’s a different angle: n the official email and a Truth Social post, Team Trump lauded Curran’s bravery and leadership:
WASHINGTON — The Republican-led House on Wednesday passed the Laken Riley Act, a strict immigration detention measure named for a 22-year-old Georgia nursing school student who was murdered last year by an undocumented immigrant.
The legislation, aimed at clamping down on people in the U.S. illegally who commit nonviolent crimes like theft, is expected to be the first bill President Donald Trump signs into law after returning to the White House this week.
The House vote was 263-156, with 46 Democrats joining all Republicans in support of the measure. The bill passed the Senate on Monday by a vote of 64-35, winning 12 Democratic votes.

Far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) is urging civil disobedience against Donald Trump’s slew of executive orders.
Since taking office on Monday, Trump has signed a slew of executive orders targeting everything from immigration and the border all the way through to ending DEI and dismantling the deep state.
In one of her regular live stream videos in which she lays out the roadmap to a socialist America, the New York Congresswoman urged people to simply ignore or disobey executive orders signed by the president.
She explained:
Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) claimed Thursday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” that President Donald Trump had “legitimized” political violence against Democrats.
When asked about the J6 pardons, Murphy said, “I mean, let’s let’s really talk about who he let out of prison this week, who walked out of prison. The guy walked out of prison this week that pepper sprayed multiple officers to the point where one had a heart attack, he let out of jail this week. People who were beating police officers over the head with poles he let out of jail. Someone who said when he arrived in Washington that day there will be blood.

It looks like the woke bishop who tried and failed to humiliate President Trump has some explaining to do.
Bishop Marianne Budde made headlines when she went on a gaslighting LGBTQ diatribe at the National Prayer Service on Tuesday.
President Trump and First Lady Melania along with J.D. Vance, wife Usha, and family members were in attendance and graciously stomached the lecture from Budde.
Now it seems, there’s more to the story, according to Townhall columnist and “Minnesota GOP hype man” Dustin Grage.
“This chick was at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Minneapolis for almost two decades,” Grage said on X. “Guess who was in charge of the planning for inauguration? Senator Amy Klobuchar.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris is still trying to process her election loss to Donald Trump. And she's seeking counsel from the only source who can vaguely relate to the humiliation — Hillary Clinton.
While the two share the struggle of coming to terms with spectacular defeats in their own rights, it's clear Harris, at least, is still eyeing a political future. Perhaps even the presidency.
On that, there is little surprise. Reports have already surfaced indicating Harris has been actively instructing her advisers and allies to keep her political options open. That includes the possibility of a 2028 presidential run or a bid for the governorship in California in 2026.

Norah O’Donnell bid farewell to her anchor chair at “CBS Evening News” on Thursday night, calling the gig an “honor of a lifetime” — as the network prepares for an overhauled broadcast.
“It has been an incredible five and a half years,” O’Donnell said.
Oprah Winfrey surprised O’Donnell, 51, with a montage that featured interviews with Pope Francis and former Vice President Kamala Harris and on-location coverage across roughly 1,300 broadcasts. Norah O’Donnell officially signed off as the “CBS Evening News” anchor on Thursday.

“You have so much to be proud of,” Winfrey said.
As you know, President Trump kept one of his biggest promises: he pardoned all the January 6th political prisoners on day one. That’s the good news. The bad news is that reports suggest that some of these prisoners still haven’t been released, despite the fact that a presidential pardon is absolute and immediate.(snip)Now, more rumors are swirling. This time, we’re hearing unconfirmed reports that DC jail guards—suspected of abusing and beating January 6th prisoners—are in full-blown panic mode. According to the rumors, these terrified guards are worried their actions against J6 American citizens will come to light and force them to face justice.

Karine Jean-Pierre Blames Racism for Her Failures 20 replies
In perhaps the most shocking, least expected twist of the last decade, Karine Jean-Pierre, the first "black, queer, immigrant" to hold the role of White House press secretary, has figured out why she faced so much criticism on the job. You didn't guess it because it's a move that no one could have foreseen, but she's...playing the race card.
Vanity Fair is out with a new profile of Jean-Pierre (written by Jean-Pierre herself) because I guess they think Americans are dying for more information on the worst press secretary in presidential history. In it, she claims she faced unique hardships because of her race, sexual orientation, and immigration history.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski announced Thursday that she will vote against confirming Pete Hegseth to lead the Pentagon, becoming the first Republican to oppose one of President Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks ahead of a crucial test vote.
Murkowski, of Alaska, said in a lengthy statement that allegations of excessive drinking and aggressive actions toward women, which Hegseth has denied, show that his behaviors “starkly contrast” with what is expected of the U.S. military. She also noted his past statements that women should not fill military combat roles.
“I remain concerned about the message that confirming Mr. Hegseth sends to women currently serving and those aspiring to join,” Murkowski wrote on social media.
Things may not be as rosy behind the scenes as Kamala Harris tried to project while watching President Donald Trump be sworn in on Monday. Sitting next to her husband, the former vice president put on a good face, but according to a new report, Doug Emhoff is now drawing ire.
As RedState reported, Emhoff was at the center of multiple scandals during the ill-fated Harris campaign. Those include him committing adultery and getting his family's nanny pregnant as well as heavily corroborated allegation that he slapped an ex-girlfriend in public while drunk. Notably, Harris refused to address either situation, and Emhoff himself never denied either of them,

New York State has 670,000 residents who are illegal migrants – including 42,300 undocumented restaurant employees and 48,500 undocumented construction workers, an eye-opening report released Thursday said.
The report from the liberal-leaning Fiscal Policy Institute revealed an underground economy of migrant workers in the Empire State, where 1.8 million residents are non-citizens that may also include green card holders.
In total, there are 4.5 million foreign-born residents of the state, the report said. (Photo)

Jaws dropped throughout Washington’s National Cathedral when an egomaniacal female Episcopal bishop sabotaged the Inaugural Prayer Service with a left-wing rant from the pulpit about illegal migrants and LGBT issues, aimed directly at President Trump, who was sitting politely in the front pew.
What the Right Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde, 65, was supposed to do Tuesday, at the historical interfaith service, was to bless the incoming administration and pray for God’s guidance and protection for the nation.
She should have been fostering unity, not exacerbating false divides and making the ceremony all about her.
