    Poll: 74 Percent of Californians Want to End Sanctuary Cities

     

     

    The vast majority of residents living in California would like see sanctuary cities barred, a state home to multiple jurisdictions which refuse to abide by federal immigration laws.

     

    Roughly 74 percent of California residents want to see an end to sanctuary city policies...according to a poll by UC Berkeley.

     

     

    The issue to end sanctuary cities in the state crosses racial and party lines, with 65 percent of Hispanics registering their agreement, while 70 percent of independents, 82 percent of Republicans, and 73 percent of Democrats feel the same.

     

    During President Donald Trump’s term, sanctuary cities could see a cut in federal funding and potentially even harsh pushback from the Department of Justice under likely Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

     

     

     

    Of course.........that's just the "dirt people", .......the "cloud people" disagree

    White House spokesman Sean Spicer's first official press conference

    Very good job.

     

    Short, concise answers. Called out the obvious "leading" questions.

     

    He will do well.

     

    I liked the exchange about lying to the press (something they never asked Carney or Earnest :D )

    Spicer seems 1) more broadly conversant with policy than most press secretaries 2) more willing to freely discuss policy than O flacks

    WaPo Factchecker: Maxine Waters’s ridiculous claim that Betsy DeVos ‘has never seen the inside of a classroom.’

     

    “Maybe Waters believes that private schools don’t count, but it’s clear that DeVos has seen the inside of public-school classrooms, as well. If she was trying to say DeVos had never been an educator, she still went too far. This kind of over-the-top rhetoric earns Four Pinocchios.” Only because 5 Pinocchios isn’t an option.

    President Trump's "alternate facts"

    Let's all get excited about the words "alternate facts"

     

    Because a presidential advisor using a ridiculous phrase on a Sunday morning debate show;

     

    is certainly equal to the last eight years of lies and omission by the past administration.

     

     

    or yes, any administration prior.

     

     

     

    But the "fact" that she used this poor choice of words..................That's what we all need to keep after

     

     

    Hilarious..... :lol:

    ONE OF EZRA LEVANT’S REPORTERS WAS PUNCHED AT THE WOMEN’S MARCH. Ezra put the assailant’s picture on the Internet, offered a reward, and has identified him.



    “Please turn yourself into the nearest police department, and prepare for a massive civil lawsuit.” ......................That’s how you do it.




    Plus, “Even more incredibly, the NDP women standing right there, who saw the whole thing, immediately blocked Sheila, and helped the thug scurry away. They sided with the male criminal, against the female victim.” It’s like all this feminism stuff is just lefty propaganda.


    Trump To Begin NAFTA Redo

    One notable thing about Trump’s inaugural address is that it seemed more explicit about his views on trade than he usually is. Here is the passage:

     

    Every decision on trade, on taxes, on immigration, on foreign affairs, will be made to benefit American workers and American families. We must protect our borders from the ravages of other countries making our products, stealing our companies, and destroying our jobs. Protection will lead to great prosperity and strength.

     

     

    The only way this could have been more explicit is the addition of an -ism:

     

    Protectionism will lead to great prosperity and strength.

     

     

    Usually, Trump just talks in terms of cutting better deals; this was a more fundamental statement. It, together with what we’ve seen over the last few months, makes me believe that we will see some sort of trade war–or battles–in the early-going here.

    Women's March On Washington

    It's not the size............................it's what is behind it.

     

    Predictably, the “grassroots” and “spontaneous” women’s march wasn’t so grassroots, after all. It may have started as such, but things changed rather quickly. Ultimately, more than 50 groups, PACs, and assorted organizations backed by billionaire agitator George Soros were deeply involved in the march.

    A self-declared “life-long liberal Democrat who voted for Trump” uncovered the tangled web of the money trail for the New York Times. Asra Q. Nomani explains that “the march really isn’t a ‘women’s march.’ It’s a march for women who are anti-Trump. As someone who voted for Trump, I don’t feel welcome . . . .”

    Part of the problem, she contends, is that the march is neither the spontaneous grassroots rallying cry for women nor the nonpartisan love-fest it was portrayed as being. She decided to “follow the money” and discover what, if anything, that would reveal.

    She writes:

    Following the money, I poured through documents of billionaire George Soros and his Open Society philanthropy, because I wondered: What is the link between one of Hillary Clinton’s largest donors and the “Women’s March”?

    I found out: plenty.

    By my draft research, which
    I’m opening up for crowd-sourcing
    on GoogleDocs, Soros has funded, or has close relationships with, at least 56 of the march’s “partners,” including “key partners” Planned Parenthood, which opposes Trump’s anti-abortion policy, and the National Resource Defense Council, which opposes Trump’s environmental policies.

    The other Soros ties with “Women’s March” organizations include the partisan MoveOn.org (which was fiercely pro-Clinton), the National Action Network (which has a former executive director lauded by Obama senior advisor Valerie Jarrett as “a leader of tomorrow” as a march co-chair and another official as “the head of logistics”). Other Soros grantees who are “partners” in the march are the American Civil Liberties Union, Center for Constitutional Rights, Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. March organizers and the organizations identified here haven’t yet returned queries for comment.

    On the issues I care about as a Muslim, the “Women’s March,” unfortunately, has taken a stand on the side of partisan politics that has obfuscated the issues of Islamic extremism over the eight years of the Obama administration.

    “Women’s March” partners include the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which has not only deflected on issues of Islamic extremism post-9/11, but opposes Muslim reforms that would allow women to be prayer leaders and pray in the front of mosques, without wearing headscarves as symbols of chastity.

    Partners also include the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which wrongly designated Maajid Nawaz, a Muslim reformer, an
    “anti-Muslim extremist”
    in a biased report released before the election. The SPLC confirmed to me that Soros funded its “anti-Muslim extremists” report targeting Nawaz. (Ironically, CAIR also opposes abortions, but its leader still has a
    key speaking role
    .)

     

     

    The list is extensive and Soros ties are often a few steps removed, but Nomani persevered, discovering still more ties and hitting a nerve sufficiently hard enough to evoke a formal response from Soros’ Open Society Foundation.

    THIS IS CNN

    I am spending a few hours in an airport, so CNN is being inflicted on me at the gate. A few minutes ago, a CNN analyst was agonizing over whether people will be able to trust the Trump administration, given Trump’s history of lying about things like the size of his inauguration crowd. The angst-ridden reporter wondered whether statistics produced by Trump’s agencies will be trustworthy. Trump, according to CNN, presents a unique credibility challenge.

    So I couldn’t help wondering: where were you when Barack Obama told us–to take just one example–if you like your health insurance, you can keep it?

    Next there was a discussion with a Washington Post reporter about investigative reporting. The crawler said: “NEWS MEDIA BEEFING UP INVESTIGATIVE UNITS.” Yes, I bet they are, after eight years of somnolence. The reporter said he is specializing in Trump’s purported conflicts of interest.

    That was followed by a panel where a reporter wrapped up by saying that after all, the news media and the administration are on different sides. So dissent is patriotic again! I think the reporter’s acknowledgement that he and his colleagues are not on Trump’s side had a different meaning from what he intended.

    I am left wondering: do these people not understand how unpopular they are? How untrusted? How widely they are viewed with contempt? Do they not realize that Trump got elected president largely by running against them?

    On CNN, at least, self-knowledge has not yet dawned.

    There was nothing impressive about Clinton's resume. She has the type of CV that gets thrown in the trash. All it lists is roles held, but not a single noteworthy accomplishment.

     

    In fact, she performed very poorly in each role she held.

     

     

    That's one of those "alternate facts" we are supposed to get all worked up about, isn't it ?

    :lol:
