154 Democrats Oppose New Criminal Penalties for Illegal Aliens Leading Border Agents on High-Speed Chases
“We appreciate House Republicans’ efforts to secure our lawless and chaotic border, protect the men and women on the frontlines, and make our communities safer,” Hector Garza, Vice President of the National Border Patrol Council, said in a statement.
The legislation, introduced by Rep. Jaun Ciscomani (R-AZ), also establishes a new criminal penalty, including a mandatory minimum prison sentence, for those who cause death or serious injury to a Border Patrol agent in a high-speed chase near the border.
Illegal aliens convicted of the crime, the legislation dictates, would be ineligible to claim asylum and deported from the U.S.
In total, 154 House Democrats voted against the legislation — including the party’s leadership, like House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and Minority Whip Katherine Clark (D-MA).
We're honestly surprised they didn't just go ahead and blame Raymond of Saint-Gilles, Godrey of Bouillon, Hugh of Vermandois, Bohemond of Otranto, and Robert of Flanders for their actions in leading the First Crusade, since they're apparently delving deep into history to justify why the deaths of these American servicemembers was the fault of someone, anyone other than President Joe Biden and his horrible foreign policy choices.
Needless to say the responses to this tweet aren't going the way they likely hoped...
Hilariously EPIC: Dem Sen. Heidi Campbell MELTS DOWN in Real-Time During School Choice Interview (Watch)
ARGLE BARGLE RAR! TEACHERS HAVE IT SO BAD!
Think about what she's saying here ... teacher's unions have done diddly squat for teachers, otherwise they wouldn't still be underpaid and underappreciated. Combine this with her interview admitting she avoided public school for her kids and she's basically PRO school choice.
She just isn't bright enough to figure it out.

Virginia Democrats Behind ‘Harassment’ Bill Really Want To Make Election Oversight A ‘Hate Crime’
A ‘Threat Narrative’ Cottage Industry
SB 364 arrives as Democrats around the nation are pushing the narrative, fueled by the hysteria that followed the unrest at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, that conservatives are a threat to democracy at large and election workers in particular.In a series of show trials, the partisan Jan. 6 Committee used what should have been an investigation into Capitol security failures to paint all Republicans and their concerns about election integrity with the brush of “insurrection.” The committee is now accused of withholding potentially exculpatory evidence, while Republican Reps. Barry Loudermilk and Clay Higgins have attested to video evidence showing law enforcement officers at the Capitol dressed as Trump supporters and egging protesters on.
“The left has created a cottage industry of this false narrative,” said election law attorney and frequent target of the left, Cleta Mitchell. “They can show no evidence of the problems they talk incessantly about. But they use this as a pretext to block and avoid transparency in the election process.”
Virginia already has criminal statutes on its books that protect election workers by imposing felony offenses for criminal threats, intimidation, or other behavior designed to impede the voting process.
Most, if not all, of the news stories that left-leaning publications and legacy media cite to underpin the “threat” narrative about election officials are sourced to a 2021 survey conducted by The Brennan Center, which was repeated in 2022 and again in 2023. The progressive think tank is among the networks funded by leftist billionaire George Soros.
The Brennan survey had a high margin of error, (+/-)6.4 percent, and claimed that “one in three local election officials are concerned about facing harassment or pressure while on the job.”
But that’s not the full picture. Election officials were asked to rate their concerns in order of severity from a preselected list of concerns about the 2020 election. Covid ranked the highest, followed by “pressure to certify results,” followed by “being harassed on the job.” Of the 35 percent who did express concern about harassment, there were only 13 percent who were “very concerned.”
Democrats Work To Strip All Opponents Of Representation In Court
After the chaotic 2020 election, leftist organizations began filing ethics and even criminal complaints against lawyers who opposed Democrats in election litigation. Democrats have recently expanded these tactics to lawyers who cross Democrats on any policy area.
“Their most sweeping goal is to discourage and chill lawyers from representing Republicans and conservatives, particularly in election law cases. They want to apply a much higher standard to them in order to punish them,” says attorney Jim Bopp Jr., who defeated a politically motivated ethics complaint after representing Wisconsin Special Counsel Michael Gableman over his 2020 investigation that unearthed “widespread election fraud.”
Disciplining conservative, or simply neutral, lawyers can strip Democrats’ opponents of high-quality legal defense, erasing justice by skewing the legal playing field. Most notorious, of course, is former President Donald Trump’s difficulties securing counsel to defend against the multiple lawsuits attempting to bankrupt him and ban voters from selecting him on the ballot.

Disagree with Democrats, Face a Tornado
Complaints and retaliatory litigation are only two of many tools Democrats are deploying to eliminate competent legal opposition to their policies. U.S. Supreme Court justices who are more likely to uphold the Constitution have been threatened with assassination and mob violence. A man with a pistol and other weapons was arrested in 2022 outside Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s home after he confessed to an assassination attempt.More than 100 lawyers have been strung up with ethics complaints from The 65 Project for opposing Democrats in election litigation. Media Matters founder David Brock, an adviser for The 65 Project, told Axios the outfit is working not only to strip law licenses from any lawyer who opposes Democrats but also to “shame them and make them toxic in their communities and in their firms. … You’re threatening their livelihood.”
A similar organization called Lawyers Defending Democracy published a memo in January urging state bar associations to initiate ethics investigations and disciplinary complaints to “regulate[] the legal profession” and “defend democracy.” The memo states outright that “ethics investigations of lawyers like John Eastman, Jeffrey Clark, and Kenneth Paxton are at the heart of what state bars can and should do.”
In 32 states and D.C., bar membership is mandatory to practice law. The American Bar Association has recommended “diversity and inclusion” provisions in lawyers’ ethics codes, effectively sanctioning complaints against those who notice men and women are different and who oppose racial preferences. Vermont, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Maine, New York, New Jersey, and some federal courts have adopted such provisions.
Stone says he’s not seen politically motivated ethics complaints in New Jersey, but litigants will sometimes file ethics charges against opponents to gain leverage in court. That’s why New Jersey’s ethics board often won’t consider complaints until litigation between the parties has concluded.
Even when those targeted can defeat such complaints, Bopp noted, “the initial allegation has a lot longer legs than the eventual response or vindication.” A lengthy legal defense is bankrupting to anyone not independently wealthy.
Even for the independently wealthy, lawsuits can aim to take everything. In the last two years, Trump has spent at least $76 million on legal fees, not to mention the potential loss of New York businesses worth hundreds of millions, if not billions, over a property estimate the legal system decided to challenge.
“The chill factor is real,” Bopp said. “These disciplinary commissions are controlled by the state supreme courts. And many state supreme courts have been taken over by hardcore leftists. What do you think they’re doing with staffing and their appointments?”
What Would We Do Without Democrats?
I thank heaven for Democrats. What would we do without them to warn of the impending doom we face if Donald Trump is returned to the White House? So, we’re fortunate that they are around to caution us about the danger of the authoritarian ambitions of “MAGA Republicans.” And where might those tyrannical impulses lead us? Perhaps to a GOP Washington micromanaging our lives to the point of dictating to us which stoves and dishwashers we can have in our kitchens and what light bulbs we can install in our lamps.
Oh, wait a minute, that’s what Democrats in Washington and state governments are already pushing on us. Then maybe those MAGA autocrats will restrict what cars we can drive. Uh ho, that’s what Democrat climate-change fanatics in the Biden cabinet, the federal administrative state and liberals running some states are already out to do. They’re busy calculating what year automakers must stop producing gasoline-powered cars and exclusively manufacture electric battery vehicles.
Okay, then surely the danger is Czar Trump and his minions of thought police will crack down on media so the big web organizations will toe the line to his messaging. Argh — the Democrats are already at it. Journalists such as Matt Taibbi have documented how petty but powerful bureaucrats in D.C. have bullied, cajoled and pressured social media sites to characterize as “misinformation” and “disinformation” any dissent from liberal groupthink to minimize or outright banish it from the public forum.
The country’s school children still haven’t recovered from damage caused by Anthony Fauci and other self-declared public health experts shutting down any national conversation about how to cope with the Covid-19 pandemic.
Okay, okay! But watch Trump try to brainwash our children with MAGA curricula from elementary to high schools and beyond. Uh, wrong again. As we’ve learned from zoom classes during the Covid-forced school closings, it’s Democrat teachers, administrators and local school boards shoving down the throats of vulnerable children woke cultural claptrap about race, gender and American history.
Prestigious universities take the ball from there and, well, the shocking outbreak of anti-semitism on their campuses pretty much sums up the results of far left-wing indoctrination. The record is clear. For all their shrieking about Trump despotism, Democrats are the agents of authoritarian, quasi-dictatorial government — from the school board to city hall to state legislatures to Washington.
The attacks on individual liberty are coming from all sides of the Democrat government complex. It’s difficult sometimes to say which is worst: The school boards that try to characterize as domestic terrorists those parents furious at the political indoctrination of their children? The government censors out to undermine the First Amendment and control who can be heard on the critical issues of the day?
The bureaucrats who wrapped themselves in “science” to shut down the economy and cripple the education of America’s children during the Covid-19 pandemic?
Perhaps the strongest assault of our republican form of government, the most powerful attack from authoritarian forces, comes from the administrative state, known in the conservative circles as the Deep State. It has bestowed on itself the authority to govern us by seizing the power to decide what our laws mean.
Why do democrats complain about teachers pay and then its reported their kids go to private school. Do they really believe it won't be found out.
Minneapolis Mayor calls remote workers ‘losers’ who sit at home with a ‘nasty cat blanket, diddling on their laptop’
“I don’t know if you saw this study the other day,” Frey told an audience of 1,000 at Minneapolis Downtown Council’s annual meeting on Wednesday. “What this study clearly showed … is that when people who have the ability to come downtown to an office don’t — when they stay home sitting on their couch, with their nasty cat blanket, diddling on their laptop — if they do that for a few months, you become a loser!”
The comment was a “complete joke” and the study was made-up, the Minneapolis Mayor’s office told Fortune, but there are serious facts to back up Frey’s worry about the impact of remote work on Minneapolis’ downtown economy.
Minneapolis ranked 64th among 66 cities in downtown recovery from the pandemic, University of Toronto’s School of Cities reported in October. Visitors to the downtown area were 56% of what they were pre-COVID, according to cell phone use data collected through the study.
Along with the collapse of large retailers in the area, the Minneapolis Foundation-commissioned “Downtown Next” report from December attributed the city’s slow recovery to remote work, which “brought tectonic shifts to the daily office population.”
But besides pushing to convert downtown empty office buildings into retail and residential spaces and building pedestrian skyways, Minneapolis must address the lack of pull factors drawing young people into the city center, the report warned.
“Unless working, youth downtown have been relegated to ‘hanging out’ in the public realm, reinforcing fear about their presence,” it read.
This is a particularly big issue for Minneapolis, which, along with St. Paul, is the most desirable location for Gen Z. Over 23,000 Zoomers moved to the Twin Cities from another state in 2022, according to Business Journal analysis of Census Bureau data.
It’s one thing to want to lure Gen Z downtown, but what happens when they don’t want to leave their houses?
Hillary Clinton's longtime aide Huma Abedin, 47, reveals she is dating George Soros' billionaire playboy son Alex, 38 - as pair take their romance public during Valentine's Day date in Paris
- Longtime Clinton aide Abedin was married to Weiner for seven years - during which time he became embroiled in multiple scandals
- She and Alex both shared an image of themselves together on Instagram today
- Alex took over his father's empire last year after a Succession-style battle
Disgraced politician Anthony Weiner's ex-wife Huma Abedin has seemingly revealed she is dating billionaire George Soros' son Alex - who is almost ten years her junior.
The longtime aide to Hillary Clinton appeared to take her romance public on Wednesday when she shared a photo of herself and Alex enjoying a Valentine's Day date at a restaurant in Paris.
In the image - which was posted on Instagram Stories by both Huma, 47, and Alex, 38 - shows the pair cuddling up in a corner booth behind a table strewn with red roses and gifts, with the billionaire playboy adding a 'Happy Valentine's Day' message above their heads.
The romance between the pair comes seven years after Huma divorced her former husband Weiner, whom she was married to for seven years - during which time the pair weathered multiple high-profile scandals.
Left unsaid? No one is supposed to support a family of four on the minimum wage. Hell, no one is supposed to fully support themselves on the minimum wage. Low-wage jobs are for first-time workers — teenagers who still live at home and need to gain the experience, work skills, and even life skills that lead to better-paying jobs.
(They need to learn to hate that FICA bastard, too, but that's a column for another day.)
And yet, at the debate, Lee insisted that people "Do the math."
OK, Congresscritter Lee, I did the math, but your constituents aren't going to like what I came up with. Wherever in the country I looked, using Mc-Menu.com, a Big Mac meal (regular, not Super Size) costs between half and two-thirds as much as the local minimum wage. There's a cast-iron relationship between what it costs to produce a Big Mac meal and what your corner McDonald's must charge for a Big Mac meal. So if California wants a $50 minimum wage, Californians had better get used to paying $25-$33 for a Big Mac with a regular fries and a medium Coke.
I get the feeling, and I'm sure you do, too, that Lee is counting on her voters being unable to do the math. That's exactly why Democrats sabotage public schools every chance they get.
But there I go again, making a dry kind of sense while Lee shouts "FREE MONEY!" to the huddled masses yearning to be kept.
That sound you hear is the gears spinning to life in yet another automated burger-flipping machine.

“I don’t know who Mike Johnson is. It’s clear Donald Trump is Speaker of the House,” Moskowitz told Al Sharpton on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” arguing Mayorkas’ impeachment would never get off the ground. “The only thing that’s going to change is his Wikipedia page.”
Moskowitz went on to attack his Republican colleagues on the foreign aid package that just passed the Senate, complaining that they had opposed both that and the recently-scrapped immigration deal because they wanted to deny Biden any possible victories. This, too, he chalked up to the House Republicans doing Trump’s bidding.
“[Trump] wants to change how the United States is viewed around the world,” Moskowitz said. “I mean, the idea that he wants to get back into office, and he wants to have better relationships with China and Russia, right, who are trying to destabilize the world should send literally shivers down Americans’ spine. You know, he talks about, Joe Biden is going to start World War II — by the way, that happened in the ’40s — but Donald Trump, what he’s talking about dealing with Russia, if Russia would start invading Europe, that would start World War III, by the way. Donald Trump is talking about that and setting the stage.”

Wait...what? This guys is smoking some good sh!t.
It is funny that European governments are playing more attention to what Trump is saying now than they are Biden.
