Equality, Justice, and Freedom: A Constitutional Perspective
Post Date: 2018-01-28 20:13:17 by buckeroo

Implementing policies like those proposed by Thomas Piketty would undermine the government’s legitimacy, which depends on the limits to its powers. The publication of Thomas Piketty’s best-selling book Capital in the Twenty-First Century (2014) has raised awareness of the rising inequality of income and wealth. The author argues that such inequality threatens democratic values and should be reversed by imposing steeply progressive income and wealth taxes on the rich and near-rich. His policies, if implemented, would create more equal outcomes but undermine the principles of freedom and justice that are the essence of the U.S. Constitution. The notion of equality is central to ...
Trump’s First Year Was a Successful War on Obama’s Eight

If you wanted to celebrate Donald Trump’s first full year in office, there are a number of ways you could go about it. You could talk about how he presided over one of the most remarkable economic boom periods in recent American memory, all but erasing the stain of the Great Recession. You could talk about how he let the military loose on ISIS, finally destroying the last remnants of their so-called Caliphate in Syria and Iraq. Or you could talk about the recently-passed tax reform bill, which will give millions of Americans immediate, important relief from the long arm of the IRS. You could even start and stop with the nomination and confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Neil ...
Israel criticises Poland over proposed Holocaust law

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has criticised a proposed bill that would make it illegal to describe Nazi death camps as Polish. "I strongly oppose it. One cannot change history and the Holocaust cannot be denied," he said in a statement. Under the bill, which is an amendment to an existing Polish law, anyone who suggests Poland was responsible for Nazi crimes could face a prison term. It is expected to pass in the Senate before being signed by the president. The Polish charge d'affaires to Israel has been summoned by the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem. Poland was attacked and occupied by Nazi Germany during World War Two. Millions of its citizens were killed, ...

Sheriff Joe Arpaio may agree with "95 percent" of President Donald Trump's policies, but he has his own plan for the Dreamers. "I would deport these Dreamers and let them see the country they came from, be ambassadors to our country, and later on give them kind of a fast track to come back into the United States legally and that would take care of a lot of issues," he told ABC News, talking about recipients of the Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals. "A lot of these Dreamers have a good education and all that and they can go into [their home] country and be ambassadors and talk how great America is and also see their country. And maybe some of them ...

And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.(Revelation 12:1-4) The enemy of God and of man comes to us either as a serpent or a dragon.

Democratic Congressman: Yeah, The Shutdown Hurt Us

There is very little doubt that the Democrats fumbled the ball at the goal line with their shutdown antics last week. They had no message, no strategy, and no exit. At the very least have a message—and not one that will be picked apart by CNN and MSNBC over the weekend. The rallying cry was that this is all the GOP’s fault because they control Congress and the White House. Yeah, except it takes 60 votes in the Senate to do anything. There was an agreement that recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) will be addressed. The Children’s Health Insurance Program was funded for six years, and FISA is going to be renewed. Everything was agreed to between ...
An illegal alien says goodbye to America [self-deported]
Post Date: 2018-01-27 21:23:58 by Tooconservative

The Washington Post has published another one of their heartwrenching testimonial pieces designed to elicit sympathy for illegal aliens and highlight how terrible the Trump administration is. This one has a twist, however. Rather than featuring some illegal who is found and deported, separating them from their family, this is a goodbye note from an illegal alien who voluntarily decided to go back to Mexico along with his parents and siblings. The author is Ariel Rodriguez, who is described as, “a freelance journalist living in Mexico City.” Of course, that’s a rather recent update. For the past ten years, he was attending school and getting a degree in journalism from an ...
Exclusive: ICE is about to start tracking license plates across the US
Post Date: 2018-01-27 20:03:03 by Gatlin

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency has officially gained agency- wide access to a nationwide license plate recognition database, according to a contract finalized earlier this month. The system gives the agency access to billions of license plate records and new powers of real-time location tracking, raising significant concerns from civil libertarians. The source of the data is not named in the contract, but an ICE representative said the data came from Vigilant Solutions, the leading network for license plate recognition data. “Like most other law enforcement agencies, ICE uses information obtained from license plate readers as one tool in support of its ...

With the latest information revealing that FBI Agent Peter Strzok and DOJ/FBI Attorney Lisa Page were specifically leaking to their media sources to shape the underlying story of their political efforts, everything presented by the recipients of those leaks should now be questioned. Page and Strzok were the “sources” for stories written by Devlin Barrett of the Washington Post. As such, obviously the network of Page and Strzok’s professional colleagues, would also be considered part of a grouping of people who would benefit from specific leaks intended to shape the stories. One of those initial stories was a December 2nd, 2017, WaPo outline describing Page and Strzok ...

Peter Strzok, the top FBI agent under fire for allegedly sending anti-Donald Trump texts, is married to Melissa Hodgman, an official at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
An obituary confirms that Strzok is married to Hodgman, 49, who was named to her position with the SEC in October 2016. Peter Strzok, a top counter- terrorism agent in the FBI, was quietly removed from Robert Mueller’s probe into President Donald Trump and his associates when Mueller learned that Strzok had allegedly sent the texts. “Bosses discovered he and another member of Mueller’s team had exchanged politically charged texts disparaging President Trump and supporting Hillary Clinton,” The Washington Post ...

Entire SWAT Team Dispatched to Handle One Unarmed Drunk Old Man

A Utah couple is suing the West Utah City Police Department (WUCPD) for excessive use of force after Fernando Coronado was tased by police. The deployment of the taser caused Coronado to fall on his head leaving him permanently disabled from the resulting brain damage, according to the lawsuit. Tabetha Coronado called police in 2016 after her husband got drunk and threatened to kill himself. Instead of sending in a few officers to take the man into custody and presumably to either jail or receive mental health, the WUCPD sent in their swat team, evacuated the entire apartment complex, and engaged in a standoff with an unarmed, shirtless, drunk old man. From recently released body ...

Blown Away . . . for Not Complying
Post Date: 2018-01-27 10:04:44 by Deckard
23 Comments
In addition to “officer safety,” another de facto capital offense in this country is “failure to comply.” This past fall, a Northern Virginia man named Bijan Ghaisar was executed by armed government workers after a brief car chase. Apparently, the man had been involved in a minor accident – no injuries and he wasn’t the driver who caused the accident – but he left the scene regardless. It’s possible he had an expired license or some other thing on his mind and feared (rightly) what the “heroes” might do to him if he stuck around. Given the run-amokness of “heroes” these days, avoiding them is reasonable self-preservation. We ...

Dave Brubeck played piano. He became the most famous jazz piano master in the second half of the twentieth century.He got started in 1942. He played until he died in 2012. That was a 70-year career.He studied music at the College of the Pacific. Only toward the end did one of his professors discover that he could not sight-read music. He was allowed to graduate only by promising never to teach piano. That was in 1942.He was immediately inducted into the Army. He got started with jazz when he was stationed in Europe. He played for the troops at a Red Cross show one evening. They were so enthusiastic that the Army had him create a jazz band. That was one of the truly brilliant military ...
Trump's Immigration Crackdown Means ICE Will Track Your License Plate Even if You're Not an Immigrant

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) now has access to a national database of license plates, allowing it to track millions of cars on a daily basis regardless of the owners' immigration status. A no-bid contract awarded in December by the Department of Homeland Security will allow ICE "access to a commercially available License Plate Reader (LPR) database." Though the contract recipient is not identified in public documents, The Verge (which first uncovered the contract's existence) reports that ICE will use a database built and maintained by Vigilant Solutions, a California-based company that partners with law enforcement agencies across the country to collect scans ...
Trump's 'go-yuuuuge' 'in-their-face' DACA deal
Post Date: 2018-01-27 08:52:59 by Gatlin

President Trump's proposed deal with the Democrats on legalizing the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients in exchange for a border wall, an end to the visa lottery, and an end to chain migration, is drawing some cautions from the right, as Ed Straker's piece on radio host Mark Levin's thoughts shows. But I think another radio host, Bill Mitchell, paints what's going on better. Far from this being a classic Republican cave-in, the DACA proposal probably a clever Trumpian deal to outsmart the Democrats and leave them out on their ear. After all, while ending illegal immigration and restoring rule of law is important to conservatives, it's not going to be easy ...

When a Black Lives Matter thug was arrested for calling for people to “riot” and “start killing cops,” he pleaded with the court to let him go because it was only a joke. However, as soon as the judge heard his claim, he wiped the smirk off the thug’s face with 2 simple words. After claiming that his call for people to “start killing cops” wasn’t serious, Darryl Hibbler (left) discovered that the judge didn’t share his sense of humor.

Cops Now Charge Businesses Thousands to Provide Them Police ‘Protection’—Just Like the Mafia

etroit, MI — Everyone who’s ever watched a Hollywood mob film has seen the scenarios in which the mobsters offer “protection” to local businesses in exchange for money. The scheme is called a protection racket and is usually conducted by criminals. However, as a case in Detroit illustrates, police officers have recently gotten in on the game. Sadek Kaid, who owns a Marathon gas station in northwest Detroit called police last month to report a crime in progress which was taking place inside his store. An irate customer, who was upset with the price of an item, lost it and began smashing up the store and throwing items off the shelves. Kaid called 911. Several minutes ...
