I guess he doesn't understand the different between legal immigrant and illegal immigrant. It all has to do with a person's attitude. Some believe that should receive favor and be able to go to the head of the line OR just skip the line completely. The other attitude is no favors, no going to the head of the line, and will do what is right to become a legal immigrant. Gee, who do you think Democrats, liberals, or RINO's prefer?

Low IQ but a good speaking voice apparently. These communist morons that don't make a distinction between legal and illegal immigration are picking at my last good nerve. If you follow the rules and come to the US the right way no reasonable person should be after you. But if your first act entering the country is to break our immigration laws, you've demonstrated a moral flexibility that makes you suspect; what other laws are you willing to break?

Acosta seems to forget that Ivanna and Melania did not sneak into the US by wading across the Rio Grande River, pay the Mexican Cartels to get here, or overstay their tourist or student visas to be here. They came here the legal way.

We all see by using the word immigrant instead of illegal alien, is an attempt to convince people that the illegals are just innocent migrators. PRESIDENT Trumps former wife came here legally, as did his present wife. Little Jimmy left that info out of his reporting. On purpose. And the people laughing, are just as corrupt as Acosta.

There is a big difference between a legal immigrant and an illegal alien. When the leftist progressive Democrats call both just “Immigrants” they are wrong and are simply attempting to confuse the American public most of who do not have very much knowledge of how immigration to the USA has worked since before the US Civil War. I do, and I have my Mother’s foreign passport that was issued to her in her homeland one hundred years ago. Inside the passport is a US Immigrant visa, a stamp showing when she entered the USA, and a very old US alien registration card showing that she was a permanent resident alien, in other words she was a legal immigrant. She passed away almost fifty years ago. Without having that passport and immigrant visa she never would have been able to get on the ship to come to America not alone enter the USA. That’s the way most American’s ancestors legally entered the USA. Today, each year, the USA allows about 1.8 legal immigrants from all over the world to permanently immigrate to the USA. All those legal immigrants can easily identify themselves by showing their alien registration card that all are issued. Before mass uncontrolled illegal immigration started in the mid 1960’s after President Johnson did away with the old so-called “Bracero” program to mollify Cesar Chavez and his United Farmworkers Union, the “Bracero” temporary farm worker program, that was an understanding between Mexico and the USA was used by US Farmers to obtain seasonal agricultural workers on a seasonal basis from Mexico. The way that seasonal agricultural program worked, was that each year farmers could have Mexican farmworkers enter the USA at the beginning of each growing season to work on their farms until after the harvest, whereupon the Mexican Agricultural workers would return to Mexico to most of the time tend their own farms. That is not to say that a number of “Bracero” workers did not violate the terms of their admission to the USA, by not returning to Mexico as required and instead sought to gain unauthorized US employment in non-agricultural industries. But that number was minuscule compared to the tens of millions of illegal aliens over the years since, and especially where during the Biden years when the leftist and progressive Democrats announced to the world “with a wink and a nod” that they had essentially “opened” the US Borders to all comers regardless of the intent of the US immigration laws obviously to create a new future leftist and progressive Democrat foreign born support and voter base made up of mostly Third World origin illegal aliens who the Democrats can claim are members of minority groups in accordance with Democrat identity politics to permanently change the ethnic, racial, and political population demographics of the USA in the years ahead.

Iran’s supreme leader Khamenei warns

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei declared “the battle begins” in an ominous post Tuesday, hours after President Trump called for Iran’s “unconditional surrender.” “In the name of #Haider, the battle begins. Ali returns to #Khaybar with his Zulfiqar.” Khamenei wrote on X in Farsi, referring to Islam’s first imam, Ali, who won the Battle of Khaybar with the sword Zulfiqar. Khamenei’s sinister message comes hours after the Islamic Republic’s state media also warned of a “surprise” on Tuesday night into Wednesday that the “world will remember for centuries.” The Israeli Defense Force reported multiple air raid sirens in northern Israel early Wednesday morning due to a “hostile aircraft infiltration.”

President Trump warned Iran that it would face the US military “at levels never seen before” if it attacked America’s forces or land in a scathing message to the Islamic regime. Trump said early Sunday the US was not involved in Israel’s overnight attack on its Middle East foe as the two countries continue to exchange aerial assaults on each other. “The US had nothing to do with the attack on Iran, tonight,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “If we are attacked in any way, shape or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the US Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before.
BOOM! Elise Stefanik May Have Ended Kathy
Hochul’s Career

In what I can only describe as a masterclass in political demolition, Rep. Elise Stefanik delivered a withering takedown of New York Gov. Kathy Hochul during a House committee hearing on sanctuary state policies. The exchange was so brutal and methodical that it may have effectively ended Hochul's political career before it even had a chance to flourish. Stefanik, who is reportedly considering a gubernatorial run herself, came armed with facts while Hochul appeared woefully unprepared to defend her own policies. From the opening moments, this wouldn't be a typical political theater exchange — this was a prosecutor methodically building her case against a defendant who had no viable defense.

Justice is coming to the Justice Department under Attorney General Pam Bondi as prosecutors involved in the Biden administration’s lawfare against Donald Trump and his supporters are gradually rooted out. The latest is Ahmed Baset, one of the DOJ team who dusted off an old Civil War era charge of “seditious conspiracy” against members of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers to align with the fake Dem narrative that Trump was an insurrectionist. He also teamed up with Jack Smith on the Get-Trump Special Counsel investigation, which they hoped would land Trump in jail.

The Israeli Air Force launched its attack late Thursday on Iran’s nuclear program, according to The Times of Israel. “Home Front Command spokesman says Israel could experience ‘heavy missile attack’ in coming hours, but no fire from Iran as yet and no need to go to bomb shelter," the outlet noted, adding that Israel has closed its airspace.

Israel launched air strikes inside Iran late Thursday, the latest effort by the Jewish state to destroy Tehran’s nuclear program. The targets of the operation, the extent of the damage, and any casualties were not immediately clear. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed the attack, saying in a statement: “Following the State of Israel’s preemptive strike against Iran, a missile and drone attack against the State of Israel and its civilian population is expected in the immediate future.” At the White House earlier Thursday, President Trump said an Israeli airstrike “looks like it’s something that could very well happen” — but stopped short of saying an operation was “imminent.”

Don't blame Gavin Newsom for the violent L.A. ICE "protests."

He's supported and endorsed the people running these protests (see my story nearby). Newsom would like you to believe, however, that it's President Donald Trump's fault that these bullhorn-spewing, pre-produced-sign-waving "protesters" have become violent. Indeed, these agents provocateur hope that the rabble take the bait and cause more pain. That’s Trump’s fault, naturally.

Physics, not politics, tells us that man’s CO2 emissions will not cause catastrophic climate change nor an increase in extreme weather. “The common belief that CO2 is the main driver of climate change and the EPA Endangerment Finding assertion that ‘elevated concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere may reasonably be anticipated’ to endanger the public health and welfare are scientifically false,” conclude the authors of a new paper.

The court concluded that the state's measure, enacted in 2023, does not run afoul of the 14th Amendment.

For political junkies who cut their teeth on “60 Minutes,” “Meet the Press,” CNN, and Fox News, longform podcasts were a godsend. Finally freed of commercial restraints and surface-level superficialities, longform podcasts took you beyond the talking points, treating audiences to a deep dive of a topic’s intricacies. Even when the podcast host had limited knowledge of the subject matter (Joe Rogan, I’m looking at you), the benefit of the longform platform was that it facilitated an open-ended, free-floating conversation where both sides learned more about the other. But there was an important catch: It only worked when both sides were acting in good faith.

Israel needs a 15-ton ‘bunker buster’ bomb to destroy the last untouched nuclear facility in Iran, but only the US has one. Such a powerful weapon – the largest non-nuclear bomb in the US arsenal – is needed because the target, Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant, is built some 300 feet inside a mountain near the city of Qom, two hours south of Tehran. The heavyweight explosive is known as a GBU-57A/B Massive Ordnance Penetrator and was designed by Boeing for the United States Air Force. Its huge weight means it can only be delivered with a B-2 Spirit stealth bomber – a jet Israel’s air force does not possess.
