ICE Mega-Raid Planned For California
Has Corrupt Dems Outraged, Illegals Nervous
{rickwells.us} ~ The targets are identified and a warning has been issued in San Francisco and other Northern California cities... ICE is coming and they seek to arrest more than 1,500 illegals. As acting ICE Director Tom Homan said, if the sanctuary state of California won’t protect its own citizens, ICE will do it for them. It’s going to happen but like any other strike, the exact timing and other details are being kept secret in the interest of the success of the mission. The San Francisco Bay Area will be the focus of what is expected to be the largest enforcement action under President Trump to date. They must be sure to check Nancy Pulosi’s gardener and maid while they’re in the neighborhood. Individuals already designated for deportation are the primary focus, although there will be a complete willingness to arrest those who are in the area of the targeted individual who are also in the country illegally... https://rickwells.us/ice-raid-california-illegals/ .
It's Time to Bring the
Southern Poverty Law Center to Justice
by TOM DEWEESE
{familysecuritymatters.org} ~ There are many powerful forces operating today across the nation to divide the American people and silence opposing views... One of the most active of these efforts is the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). There are two very serious reasons why the SPLC is in many ways more dangerous than other organizations that are fueling the flames of the far left radicals who use violence and lies to stop honest political debate. First, the SPLC has contracts with the federal government, specifically the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), serving as advisors to help define what a domestic terrorist or hate group is, even helping to write official policy for this agency of our government. The second reason the SPLC is a dangerous threat to American freedom is its so-called "Hate List." Each year, the SPLC updates its list of "extremist" groups and individuals it declares to be dangerous. Does the list include Black Lives Matter, ICIS, ANTIFA, or any of the forces that have taken credit for opening fire on crowds attending public events? Nope... http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/its-time-to-bring-the-southern-poverty-law-center-to-justice?f=must_reads.

House committee takes step toward
making Trump dossier findings public
by Byron York
{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ One of the most vexing problems of the Trump dossier probe has been that much of the evidence involved is classified and thus hidden from public view... House and Senate investigators are tightly constrained from revealing key aspects of the dossier affair. There is, for example, the question of whether the FBI and Justice Department used the unverified allegations in the dossier as evidence to win a secret court warrant to spy on Americans. Members and staff in both House and Senate know the answer. But it is classified, and they can't talk. Now, the House Intelligence Committee has taken a first step toward what might become public disclosure of key facts in the dossier investigation. It is a halfway step, and will not immediately reveal anything to the public, but it is a beginning. At the committee's meeting Thursday morning, Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., offered a motion to allow all House members to review a brief report prepared by the Republican majority summarizing the panel's investigation into what GOP members call "FISA abuse." That is a reference to the secret court set up by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. The motion passed the committee on a party-line vote... http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/byron-york-house-committee-takes-step-toward-making-trump-dossier-findings-public/article/2646313?utm_campaign=Washington%20Examiner:%20News%20Alert&utm_source=Washington%20Examiner:%20News%20Alert%20-%2001/18/18&utm_medium=email.

Booker: Mentally Fit for Office?by Political Editors: While much of the mainstream media has been questioning the status of President Donald Trump’s mental health, it appears that it is the senator from New Jersey whose mental stability could be called into question. During a Senate hearing Tuesday, Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) erupted in rage at Kirstjen Nielsen, secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, over Trump’s alleged “s—thole countries” comment.
Pounding his fists, Booker yelled, “When scum-Dick Durbin called me, I had tears of rage when I heard about this experience in that meeting. And for you not to feel that hurt and that pain and to dismiss some of the questions of my colleagues … when tens of millions of Americans are hurting right now because they’re worried about what happened in the White House. That’s unacceptable to me.” Wow, hello snowflake-ville.
First off, it is flat out ridiculous to suggest that millions of Americans are hurting because of Trump’s alleged words. While Trump’s alleged words were crass, his point is valid. And if Booker is indeed “hurting,” then he needs to visit a mental health professional, pronto.
Secondly, and more significantly, where is the outrage from that party of outrage — those “women’s rights” feminists — over the fact that Booker, a man in a position of power, just publicly dressed down and belittled a woman? Where are the charges of sexism? Where are condemnations and demands for apologies from fellow 2020 presidential contenders Sen. Elizabeth dinky-Warren (D-MA) or Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA)? Recall how mere months ago Democrats blasted Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) for telling Warren to “sit down and shut up,” after she refused to end a speech after her allotted time had passed.
The truth is Democrats are the party of Hollywood. They play on emotions rather than truth and principles. ~The Patriot Post
