Original Article

You might have thought that Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) would be back by now after he got rejected from seeing or talking with El Salvadoran national Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. That would have been smart. But he appears to still be there and still grandstanding. After being told bluntly by the Central American nation's vice president that the senator wasn't going to be able to get in to see Garcia at CECOT, it looks like Van Hollen decided to go there anyway to try to get in. It didn't go well. He says he was stopped by soldiers.

Comments:

If his persists in pizzing off the government of El Salvador, I can see Bukele pulling his visa application and ordering him deported!! Now, THAT would be something to talk about!!

El Salvador does not have to let him stay in the country and can kick him out for causing problems. As to the other idiot democrats planning to go there, El Salvador can deny them entry to the country or if they are allowed in under a visa for one reason and then play politics, they can kick them out for violating their visas.

Maybe Van Hollen sees the Democratic field wide open for 2028 and he’s getting free publicity and a chance to look like a righteous warrior for the little guy and the Great White Hope. I suspect he’s planning to run for president and needs to appear to do great deeds for Latinos to set himself apart from Newsom, AOC and Hakeem Jeffries. Next stop: Guantanamo. Expect more of stunts like this to fuel the “Trump is a tyrant” hysteria going forward.

I am beyond words at the stupidity of this. A sitting US Senator is actually in El Salvador trying to get a wife beating MS13 gang member with a deportation order returned to the United States to be deported again. These people have lost their minds. I can’t even imagine what motivated this. Does he think the American people are cheering him on? He’s insane.

Yeah, According to the latest news, apparently somehow Van Hollen has somehow prevailed: https://x.com/ChrisVanHollen/status/1913034619710034094 Included with the text, there is a photo of Van Hollen apparently alone with Garcia in some restaurant or maybe an embassy lunch room. ........................................................................................................................... Now that I think about it some, I’d be willing to let ‘Killmore’ Garcia come back, and even make him a citizen and give him a a nice collection of guns...... If Bukele would lock up Van Hollen in CECOT forever. Because it is clear to me now that Van Hollen is much more of a Clear and Present Danger to America and Americans as a sitting Senator than is some minor MS-13 thug.

Hollen DOES know that El Salvador is a sovereign nation; that is, has its own laws, legal system and it has NO obligation to do what the US wants. Right? As a sovereign nation, it could go to war with the US if it felt the US was violating that sovereignity.

It’s hard to express how much cruel delight I take in the current dilemma of porcine New York Attorney General Letitia James. You see, the malignant Democrat, who ran specifically on the electoral promise that she was going to find something to sue or convict Donald Trump over, just got herself caught up in a little jam. Actually, it’s a big jam. And it’s hilarious.

A crazed motorist allegedly tried to run a Tesla off a Utah freeway while speeding over 100 mph. Oscar Fayani, 27, was arrested Friday after Utah Highway Patrol troopers say he intentionally hit a Tesla while driving at speeds over 100 mph on Interstate 80 near Tooele, about 40 miles southwest of Salt Lake City, KSL.com reported. Troopers were asked to be on the lookout for a “reckless driver” driving westbound on the interstate as calls came in saying a gold sedan was “road raging with a black Tesla” and driving 115-120 mph, a police booking affidavit said.

A Sunshine State resident took to Reddit to share their frightening experience with two creepy reptiles that came up to their home’s front door, which was all captured on the family’s Ring camera. The footage shows two enormous alligators dilly-dallying around the home’s front porch. When one of the alligators saw that no one was coming to the door to welcome them into their home, they lingered a little bit longer before growing impatient.

An illegal alien from Guatemala has been indicted for his alleged role in smuggling a teenager into the country and “inducing” her to say she was his sister. The suspect in the case is identified as 26-year-old Juan Tiul Xi, while the victim is a 14-year-old girl who is also from Guatemala, Fox News reported on Saturday.

A Democrat judge in New Mexico resigned from his bench last month after immigration agents arrested an alleged Tren de Aragua gang member living in his home. The illegal alien entered the U.S. in Eagle Pass, Texas, before being released on an immigration parole due to overcrowding. He eventually moved to New Mexico. Federal prosecutors in the District of New Mexico allege that 23-year-old Cristhian Ortega-Lopez was illegally in possession of a firearm and has ties to the hyperviolent Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua. Earlier this year, President Donald Trump and the U.S. State Department declared the gang to be a foreign terrorist organization.

Hillary Clinton is once again drawing criticism for her controversial stance on immigration, this time defending an accused MS-13 member who was deported without trial. The former Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic presidential candidate has come under fire for her remarks, in which she prioritized the so-called “rights” of illegal immigrants over the safety of American citizens. This latest defense of a known gang member only adds to the growing concern among many Americans that the political elite are more focused on protecting criminals than securing the safety of law-abiding citizens. In a social media post, Clinton called on “Americans of conscience”

There’s not a darker day in human history than the day Christ died. But there’s not a brighter dawn than the one that followed three days later. Because early that Sunday morning, when the women approached the tomb, the earth shook again—not in judgment, but in victory. Not because hell was howling, but because heaven was roaring. And the stone was already rolled away. The tomb wasn’t opened to let Jesus out. It was opened to let us see in. And what we saw? Nothing. No body. No bones. No grave clothes with a corpse. Just the remnants of death… left behind by Life Himself. Jesus Christ—bodily, physically, and historically—rose from the dead. And that changes everything.

Walz appeared to be making a reference to 29-year-old Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal alien who was deported to El Salvador and is suspected of being a member of the violent MS-13 gang. Democrats have sought for Garcia to be sent back to the United States, claiming that he has been denied due process.

Pope Francis has died aged 88, the Vatican announced today. The Pontiff spent his final weeks in hospital with an infection that developed into pneumonia in both lungs. The Conclave - where cardinals gather in the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican to choose a successor - will not happen for at least 15 days. Francis just yesterday greeted Catholic faithful who had gathered to see him at St Peter's Square on Easter Sunday. He delivered his 'Urbi et Orbi' benediction from a balcony overlooking the square following mass to mark the high holiday.

The twelve-year reign of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, Pope Francis, as the head of the Roman Catholic Church began shortly after the strange and still-unexplained resignation of Pope Benedict XVI, and seven weeks into the second term of Barack Obama as president of the United States. It was fitting that Obama was president during the first four years of Francis’ papacy, as Francis was the Barack Obama of popes: just as Obama did as president of the United States, Pope Francis worked to weaken, instead of strengthen, the institution he was leading, and to provide aid and comfort to its enemies, while confusing and maddening its ardent supporters.
