Trump Options Against Sanctuary Cities,
Campuses Include Jail For Officials
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ The politically correct, “tolerant,” pro-“diversity” idea of being a sanctuary campus or a sanctuary city is irresistible to liberals who relish the opportunity to don the mantle of faux humanitarianism by flouting American immigration laws... They are able to not only rub the noses of the “simple minded redneck patriots,” as they perceive us to be, into the reality of their corrupt liberalism, but they’re able to flout the “unfair” immigration laws which exclude non-Americans from the benefits of citizenship. That scheme worked fine as long as they had an outlaw occupying the Oval Office, one who was an illegal alien himself and hated everything America represents. Those days are now coming to an end and for the criminally complicit mayors, “law enforcement” leadership space holders and others, there may be some unpleasant legal consequences. Gregg Jarrett raises the issue of sanctuary college campuses in which the illegals are protected and in some more extreme cases, are actually housed, in violation of federal law. One of his guests, attorney Jesse Weber, says that this is largely uncharted territory. Jarrett notes that the failure to comply with one particular statute, which he cited, is a felony which carries a sentence of not more than five years... http://rickwells.us/trump-options-sanctuary-cities-campuses-include-jail-officials/

Racist Commie Agitator Wants Reparations, Maybe Permanent White Slavery Is Best
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ Carl Higbie, a former Navy SEAL, somehow found himself on CNN, engaged in a debate with a trashy liberal racist named Angela Rye... Her name is of no importance, what matters is she represents the reality that attempting to reason with libtards is a hopeless waste of time, like arguing with a rock. He describes the Democrat Party accurately as seeking to divide the American people, a position championed by the commie occupying the White House, in league with both of his racist Attorneys General. Higbie says, to the shock and horror of the talking point delivery person, “The Democrat Party seeks to divide and keep this country guessing for them, playing for them. And the Republican Party wants to have people with their eyes on the horizon, achieving as much as they can, and that’s what Donald Trump represents. When you look at the New York City skyline, you see achievement, you see Donald Trump’s achievement. He wants every American to be able to achieve the same thing. The Democrat Party wants to keep people dependent on them.”... http://rickwells.us/racist-commie-agitator-wants-reparations-maybe-permanent-white-slavery-best/

Sharia in New Jersey: Muslim husband rapes wife, judge sees no sexual assault, Why?
by William Smith
{gopthedailydose.com} ~ Muhammad said: “If a husband calls his wife to his bed, i.e. to have sexual relation and she refuses and causes him to sleep in anger, the angels will curse her till morning” (Bukhari 4.54.460). He also said... “By him in Whose Hand lies my life, a woman can not carry out the right of her Lord, till she carries out the right of her husband. And if he asks her to surrender herself to him for sexual intercourse she should not refuse him even if she is on a camel’s saddle” (Ibn Majah 1854). And now a New Jersey judge sees no evidence that a Muslim committed sexual assault of his wife — not because he didn’t do it, but because he was acting on his Islamic beliefs: “This court does not feel that, under the circumstances, that this defendant had a criminal desire to or intent to sexually assault or to sexually contact the plaintiff when he did. The court believes that he was operating under his belief that it is, as the husband, his desire to have sex when and whether he wanted to, was something that was consistent with his practices and it was something that was not prohibited.”...This Sharia has no business in our courts.

liar-Clinton Foundation Donations Fall
Precipitously After Trump’s Election
by Bob Adelmann
{thenewamerican.com} ~ Thanks to revelations by Charles Ortel, Peter Schweizer, Dinesh D’Souza, WikiLeaks, and Judicial Watch, the use of the liar-Clinton Foundation by the liar-Clinton family as its own personal piggy bank has been exposed... Donations began dropping off as early as 2014 but they have all but disappeared since liar-Hillary failed to gain the White House. The “quid-pro-quo” tacit agreements were exposed by the mainstream media with the Washington Post’s revelation in February 2015 that the liar-Clinton Foundation “has given donors a way to potentially gain favor with the liar-Clintons outside the traditional political limits.” Additional confirmation of financial shenanigans came from Charles Ortel, a Wall Street financial analyst who has devoted 15 months of his life investigating the foundation in all of its complexity. He concluded that “a substantial portion of liar-Clinton Foundation activities is certainly not ‘charitable’ or ‘tax-exempt’ in the accepted legal sense” and that it instead has operated “in the guise of charity right from the beginning … all the way to the present.”... http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/politics/item/24711-clinton-foundation-donations-fall-precipitously-after-trump-s-election

liar-Clinton Campaign Will Participate
in Stein’s State Recounts
by Steven T. Dennis
{bloomberg.com} ~ liar-Hillary Clinton’s campaign lawyer announced plans to participate in vote recounts of Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan if they take place, yet doesn’t expect to overturn the election of Donald Trump as president... If Green Party candidate Jill Stein initiates recounts in all of those states as she intends, the liar-Clinton campaign “will participate in order to ensure the process proceeds in a manner that is fair to all sides,” lawyer Marc Elias said Saturday in a post on the blogging website Medium.com. Stein says on her website that she’s raised more than $5.7 million for her recount effort so far, with a $7 million goal. The funds raised so far will cover costs in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania... http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2016-11-26/clinton-campaign-will-participate-in-stein-s-state-recounts

'That's What Freedom Sounds Like'
by Suzanne Fields
{townhall.com} ~ We gather together to ask the Lord's blessing, to hasten and chasten our will to partake of turkey and the fruits of the field as we imagine the Pilgrims did at their first Thanksgiving in 1621. We actually know little of their menu, and it may not please the traditionalists or the squeamish to learn that the early settlers were also keen on dining on swan, crane and even eagle.
Legend mixes with changing culinary tastes through the ages to determine what's for dinner on Thanksgiving Day. It's fitting to serve a variety of dishes to suit different attitudes, cultures and moral poses. Appeals to diversity are not unique to the 21st century. Thanksgiving tables have always been inclusive of the tastes of the most recent immigrants, expressing their appreciation for ancestral tradition as well as taking pleasure in the melting pot they join in America.
What may be unique today is the dogmatism of diversity. We usually think of diversity as opening up minds to different tastes, different traditions and different ideas, but contemporary attitudes often turn diversity into a decree. Political correctness, which has so mangled discourse in the media, in the workplace and on the college campus, is both condescending and patronizing toward others. It suggests that half of our countrymen need to be constantly tutored in the right way to think, talk and act, and the other half are to be coddled and protected rather than required to think for themselves.
We're not even talking about the irredeemable "deplorables" that liar-Hillary Clinton made up, or the "whitelash" electorate coined by a CNN reporter looking for prejudice against a black president in campaign rhetoric. "Safe spaces" have been created on campuses across the land to assuage the feelings of young adults who can't deal with how the numbers in the Electoral College came out differently than the numbers they preferred. Such young men and women, who once would have been looked at as future leaders, are now indulged with Legos, Play-Doh, coloring books and videos of puppies to distract them from the anxiety and fear in the real world.
The Chutzpah Award of the year, if not the Tony Award, must go to the actors of the rap musical "Hamilton" who broke through the fourth wall to explain to Vice President-elect Mike Pence how he should interpret what he had just watched and heard onstage. "We, sir, are the diverse America who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us, our planet, our children, our parents or defend us and uphold our inalienable rights," actor Brandon Victor Dixon said, with the approving cast lined up behind him. (This recalls Barbara Walters' famous plea to President Jimmy Carter as she concluded an interview just after he was elected more than four decades ago -- "Please be kind to us, Mr. President.")
It's sad that the actors didn't have confidence in their work to let the magic of a wonderful Broadway show weave its spell after the finale and rather felt it necessary to undercut a dramatic and uplifting appeal with a mere protest. Pence nevertheless showed gentlemanly grace in response, praising the play.
It's particularly ironic that the actor who delivered the protest played Vice President Aaron Burr, who killed Alexander Hamilton. In the drama as in the history books, Burr was clearly a bad man. His advice to Hamilton was sly and devious, as scripted in rhyme early in the musical: "Talk less. Smile more. Don't let them know what you're against or what you're for." Whatever angry feelings toward Burr lingered in the audience had to be overcome quickly for it to empathize with the actor who spoiled the magic with the bizarre curtain call.
That's too bad. When I saw "Hamilton," there were such good feelings from watching a talented, multiracial, multicultural cast sing and dance about the Founding Fathers that I thought it would inspire pride in how the American democracy was established. Who needs to know what the actors think when they slip into the identities of the characters onstage? Or, as Shakespeare's Hamlet says, "The play's the thing."
Alas, we live in contentious times, where theater and politics overlap, sometimes for better and often for worse. When Mike Pence walked into the theatre with his family, he heard boos and cheers, signaling that the audience recognized him and wanted him to hear what they thought. He later recalled telling his daughter, "That's what freedom sounds like" -- a needed note of grace in a wounded Thanksgiving season.
