Democrats Move Further Left 
On Gun-Grabbing In 2020 Debate

{thefederalist.com} ~ Democratic candidates collectively came out for more gun control in the first debates of the 2020 election cycle... seemingly trying to one-up each other with stricter gun-grabbing policy proposals. Thanks to gun control activists centered around mass shootings, like March For Our Lives, even candidates who previously held conservative or moderate positions on Second Amendment rights—like commie-Bernie Sanders, loose lips liar-Joe Biden, and Kirsten Gillibrand—seemed to be pulled left as they unveiled their new gun control talking points. Vice President loose lips liar-Joe Biden proposed banning the sale of any firearm that does not feature biometric locks, which are often referred to as “smart guns.” “We should have smart guns,” he said in Thursday night’s debate. “No gun should be able to be sold unless your biometric measure could pull that trigger. It’s within our right to do that. We can do that. Our enemy is the gun manufacturers, not the NRA.” There are no guns with said biometric locks currently for sale on the American market. loose lips liar-Biden’s policy would effectively outlaw the sale of every firearm currently available in U.S. stores. California Congressman scumbag-Eric Swalwell, who has previously  threatened to nuke Americans who don’t want to turn their guns over to the government, advocated for his proposal for a mandatory national ban and buyback of “military-style semiautomatic assault weapons.” That would mean confiscating over 15 million guns. “Keep your pistols, keep your rifles, keep your shotguns, but we can take the most dangerous weapons from the most dangerous people,” scumbag-Swalwell said. Senator lowlife-Kamala Harris said scumbag-Swalwell’s idea was “great,” but threatened to take executive action on gun control because Congress lacks “the courage to act.”... You dems can take actions by reading the constitution on the 2nd Amendment.

Europe's Missing Islamic State Fighters

gatestoneinstitute.org } ~ The German government has lost track of scores of Germans who travelled to Iraq and Syria in recent years to join the Islamic State (IS)... The revelation comes amid growing fears that some of these fighters are returning to Germany undetected by authorities. The German Interior Ministry, in response to a question from the Secretary General of the classical liberal Free Democratic Party (FDP), Linda Teuteberg, revealed that German authorities lack information on the whereabouts of at least 160 Germans who left to fight with the IS, according to Welt am Sonntag. The ministry said that while some had probably been killed in combat, others have gone into hiding and may be trying to resettle in Germany. "In view of the very fragmented protection of the EU's external borders, it is particularly worrying that the federal government appears to have taken no further measures to prevent the uncontrolled re-entry of underground IS fighters," Teuteberg told Welt am Sonntag. She added that the government "still has no concept" for dealing with former IS fighters from Germany, including "Germans detained in the war zone as well as the more than 200 former IS supporters who are now back in Germany." Teuteberg said that the Interior Ministry should come up with a plan for how to deal with IS returnees and how to hold them accountable, by, for example, strengthening the legal capacity to investigate and prosecute war crimes abroad. Of the estimated 1,050 Germans who travelled to Iraq and Syria to fight in recent years, approximately one-third (350) have returned to Germany. Another 220 are believed to have been killed on the battlefield. According to government sources  cited by the German television program Tagesschau, approximately 120 are being detained in Iraq and Syria. In addition, at least 138 children of German IS fighters are being held Iraq and Syria. The whereabouts of the others are unknown. The German government downplayed Teuteberg's concerns that IS fighters can return to Germany unnoticed: "Given the different measures including most-wanted lists or entry barriers that make uncontrolled re-entry significantly more difficult, it is also assumed in the future that entry without the knowledge of the German security authorities should remain the exception."...

{aei.org} ~There is a lot of money, or at least the prospect of it, flowing into East Africa and the Horn from the Gulf Arab states these days... The UAE  deposited $1 billion into the central bank of Ethiopia in the last year. The UAE and Saudi Arabia have committed $3 billion to Sudan and the UAE has committed another $2 billion to Ethiopia in aid and foreign direct investment. The Emirati investment push into Ethiopia has been  ramping up at least since 2013. The numbers are overwhelming, and their deployment will be fraught with challenges of governance and transparency. But a more pressing transfer is also underway. The movement of people across the Red Sea corridor is a destabilizing force in the domestic politics of countries like Ethiopia. As Saudi Arabia continues to calibrate its labor and immigration policies in an effort to increase employment among nationals, the ripple effects are reaching the other side of the Red Sea. According to reports by Arab News, the Saudi government has been on an immigration crackdown, particularly targeting Ethiopian and Yemeni illegal migrants in the kingdom. Three million migrants have been arrested, deported, or fined for overstaying visas or entering illegally in the past two years.There has long been a pattern of migration from the Horn to the Arabian Peninsula, often via Yemen. But new patterns suggest a return of migrants from the Gulf is stressing the fragile social and physical infrastructure of Ethiopia, particularly in its frenetic capital city, Addis Ababa. In conversations in Addis last week, analysts and international organization officials reported a visible increase among homeless and unemployed people on the streets of the capital, especially of young men returning from the Gulf. There are informal estimates of hundreds of thousands of Ethiopian migrants returning from the Gulf in the last two years. Arrests in Saudi Arabia for illegal border crossing are on the rise, targeting Yemeni and Ethiopian migrants. The Ethiopian government is struggling to generate jobs and opportunity for citizens, even with the wide interest of foreign investors, many of whom are constructing high rise apartment buildings and taking stakes in manufacturing and retail interests. China is also part of the surge to invest in Ethiopia, with its own $2.3 billion in FDI  announced in May...  http://www.aei.org/publication/people-problems-between-the-gulf-and-the-horn-of-africa/?mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTnpjd05HUTVaVEEzTldVMiIsInQiOiJSTExzdVZKSjQ2eWpEelRWWW1EalVKSGpZZkdrYU5UZjB2TnYwVGhwSWRCR3hGY2Rvbk5NY0JJY21wZmdYWU04ajJxbWlLWUdqVEdYZ0FLVVwvMCtDcDg5bVR6OTk4bzJyRlhGcUt5TE9xanpUYkcwVnVKd2NRam0zVHJBdEF4RCsifQ%3D%3D

Islam, Terrorism, and Censorship

americanthinker.com } ~ In his newest book, Paul Cliteur, author and jurisprudence professor at Leiden University, examines a largely forgotten 1987 German television comedy skit that sparked Muslim protests... Cliteur asserts that the incident, involving Dutch comedian Rudi Carrell, became the forerunner for other protests, many of them deadly violent, that now characterize the ongoing conflict between Islamic theoterrorism and Western free speech. In Theoterrorism v. Freedom of Speech:  From Incident to Precedent Amsterdam University Press, 2019, Cliteur calls the Carrell incident a turning point in global politics. It made the West conclude that offending Islam was a global capital offense and it brought about the start of a precipitous decline in Western civil liberties. Born in the Netherlands, Carrell began appearing on German television in the mid-1960s, ultimately attracting 20 million viewers. In 1987, eight years after the Ayatollah Khomeini established an anti-Western theocracy in Iran and instituted strict Islamic sharia, Carrell depicted women throwing their underwear at Khomeini’s feet. The sketch poked fun at the Ayatollah’s edict forbidding Iranian women to show their hair or body shape.  After the show aired, an Iranian ambassador complained to the German government that Muslims “all over the world” had hurt feelings. Iranian consulates in West Berlin and Hamburg closed. A Frankfurt-to-Tehran flight was delayed for six hours while the ground crew, under Tehran’s command, protested. Iran expelled two West German diplomats and Iranian students demanded an apology during a government-incited protest at the West German Embassy. Carrell received death threats and required police protection. The German Foreign Ministry apologized for Carrell’s insensitivity but restated the German government’s commitment to freedom of the press and artistic expression. The entertainer feared for his life and issued a public apology, saying he hadn’t meant to “offend the feelings of believers.” He also expressed regret to the Iranian ambassador. The Carrell broadcast also impacted the Netherlands. Eight days after the German program, Dutch radio scheduled a rebroadcast. Minutes before it began, the Dutch Minister of Foreign Affairs asked the broadcaster to reconsider, even though shutting down the program violated Dutch laws guaranteeing freedom of the press from government interference. The Dutch Minister was concerned a rebroadcast would cause repercussions, especially for Dutch citizens living in Tehran after the Dutch embassy had said embassy workers were at risk...

Gone with the Wind: Inefficiency and Hazardous Nature of Wind Energy Impedes Renewable Crusade
By Vijay Jayaraj
americanthinker.com } ~ Wind energy is infinite, clean, a friend of climate, and the future of our energy sector... That is the green gospel we hear from renewable-obsessed environmentalists and politicians every day. If wind energy is what they claim it is, why are the economic powerhouses of the world increasingly turning toward fossil fuels and nuclear, not toward wind? If wind is affordable and efficient, as they claim, why does it need subsidies to flourish? The answers to these questions reveal that wind energy is not what it is portrayed to be. It is a well known fact that wind energy is intermittent — i.e., it can generate stable electricity only when the wind speed is at an optimum level. This is known as rated wind speed, which is around 26–30 miles per hour, or 12–14 meters per second. A little slower, and the generation is inefficient. A little faster, and turbines risk getting damaged.  Unfortunately, average wind speeds are not stable, so neither is the energy generated. Wind changes direction and speed minute by minute for various reasons. Furthermore, geographical regions have different wind-generating capabilities during different seasons. Some turbines remain non-operational for months when average wind speeds are lower than 10 miles per hour. Energy generation can also be affected by cold weather and storms. This was the case earlier this year when the cold weather from a polar vortex affected wind operation in America's Midwest, impacting the only season when wind energy generation is optimum there. Besides rendering them incapable of generating electricity, the cold weather also damages the turbines and other parts. Canada, a country familiar with cold weather limitations of wind, estimates that cold weather accounts for a loss of $85 million USD annually. The loss is attributed to three main factors: accumulation of ice on wind turbine blades, resulting in reduced power output and increased rotor loads; cold weather shutdown to prevent equipment failure; and limited or reduced access for maintenance activities...

The True Story of Two Dead Migrants

Jordan Candler:  “Photo of drowned migrants triggers fight over Trump asylum clampdown.” That’s how Reuters headlined the fallout following this week’s revelation that two Salvadorans, a father and his two-year-old child, failed in their attempt to traverse the Rio Grande. The photo is unequivocally heartbreaking. It’s the kind of picture that makes one sick to his stomach. But like most things in life, emotional incidents without proper context inevitably result in irrational knee-jerk reactions.

According to The Daily Mail, the family’s journey began on April 3, when they departed El Salvador. For the next two months, the family — which was seeking asylum in the U.S. — was lodged in a migrant camp in southern Mexico. Restless and intent on engineering a more expeditious asylum process, they jumped onto a bus that took them to the U.S. border this past weekend. “When they arrived, the consulate was closed but they also learned they were far down a list of hundreds of migrants in line for interviews,” the Mail reports. “They decided to make the crossing illegally rather than wait — a decision that led to their deaths.”

Bad choices have consequences. Furthermore, as The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh observes, “This was not a family turned coldly away as it fled violence and oppression. They were not turned away at all. They simply grew impatient waiting for the bureaucratic wheels to turn. Indeed, family members confirm that the family was not being persecuted in its home country.”

Which gets us to the other half of the story. The Mail goes on to reveal that the father had been employed at Papa John’s Pizza. Granted, his income of $350 per month was paltry, but seeking entry based on low or insufficient income, as Walsh explains, “isn’t how the asylum program is traditionally meant to be used.”

Yet Democrats are hell-bent on hanging the incident around President Donald Trump’s neck. Sen. commie-Bernie Sanders bellowed, “Trump’s policy of making it harder and harder to seek asylum — and separating families who do — is cruel, inhumane and leads to tragedies like this.” And according to NBC News, presidential candidate Julian Castro “pointed to the Trump administration’s metering policy as what ‘prompted’ the father and daughter who were found dead Monday to cross the Rio Grande illegally.” (Side note: An NBC “fact check” absurdly labeled this assertion as “true.”)

Actually, to commie-Sanders’s point, other countries’ failure to enforce their own borders is what leads to tragedies like this. And to Castro’s point, Democrats are prompting this behavior — both with open-borders advocacy and legislative malfeasance. As Trump put it, “If they fixed the laws you wouldn’t have that. People are coming up, they’re running through the Rio Grande. They can change it very easily so people don’t come up, and people won’t get killed.”

But that would mean losing an important narrative leading up to the 2020 elections. Can’t have that.

Part of the Democrat effort to push Trump out of the Oval Office and to take over both chambers of Congress is to suggest that “Republicans don’t care about kids.” They point to this week’s photo of two drowned people as proof. Yet it’s Democrats who won’t budge on fixing the laws. And that’s to say nothing of the people who really  don’t care about kids — the ones trafficking them. The Department of Homeland Security has so far flagged 316 fraudulent families. Sadly, our lawmakers have also perpetuated this fraud.  ~The Patriot Post
