Trump Was Instrumental in Achieving Korean Peace.
Apr/30/18
Going into his presidency, Donald Trump knew that the situation in North Korea would be one of the toughest challenges he had to contend with.
Thankfully, the president approached this tough challenge with an even tougher approach, levying crippling sanctions against the country while at the same time promising “fire and fury” if North Korea’s Kim Jong-un continued his aggression and hostility.
At the time, those on the left called Trump’s approach to North Korea dangerous and ineffective, warning that he was on the verge of starting a nuclear war.
Now, those who belittled his tough stance against North Korea are singing a different tune.
In late April 2018, North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un held a historic meeting with South Korean President Moon Jae-in. During the meeting, the two leaders agreed to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula and end the war between North and South Korea that has officially persisted for over sixty years.
In media appearances since the meeting, the South Korean president has given full credit to President Trump for making it possible, and even CNN published a story saying that Trump deserved credit for bringing Korea closer to peace than it has been in decades.
Only time will tell if Kim Jong-un truly intends to hold up his end of the bargain.
Regardless, Trump’s efforts against North Korea have worked and have accomplished something that numerous Presidents before him were unable to make happen. --- video below.

Conservative Rockstar Jim Jordan Is Under Attack.                                 5/4/18  TTN Staff

 One of the most popular conservative US Representatives in the country is under attack. Despite being a front-runner for Speaker of the House, and endorsed by Freedom Works and Tea Party Patriots, challengers have lined up to take him down in his district. And it is not just the Democrats, a Republican has thrown his hat into the ring to try and take him down.
 Representative Jordan is a member of the House Freedom Caucus and works tirelessly to keep congressional leaders in check as Washington drives off the cliff on a daily basis.
 According to Cleveland.com:

He’s so popular that organizations like the Tea Party Patriots and  FreedomWorks have said they’d like Jordan to become Speaker of the House when current House Speaker Paul Ryan leaves Congress.
 “A House with Speaker Jordan at the gavel would actually pass laws,  stand on principle and cut spending,” said a statement from  FreedomWorks president and CEO Adam Brandon. “Speaker Jordan would make  Congress work again.”   
 This year’s anti-incumbent mood is so strong that even Jordan has a  primary opponent on the ballot: Joseph Miller of Marion. Miller did not respond to repeated telephone calls and text messages seeking more information about his candidacy.

 The two Democratic candidates seeking Jordan’s seat were more eager to discuss their campaigns. 

 The two challengers on the Democrat side were eager to have their 'voices' heard and have offered quite a bit of information about their campaigns. 
 Liberal professor Janet Garrett is running a third time against Jordan. She's now retired from Oberlin, which is among the most liberal colleges in the country. Garrett supports labor unions, universal health care and automatic voter registration for 18-year-olds.  
 The new challenger from the left is Democrat Cody Rose. Rose is a strong supporter of obumacare, hostile to the Second Amendment and is stridently opposed to the Tax Cut and Jobs Act. The young left winger works as a software developer and is as opposed President Trump as he is to Jim Jordan.
 Principled conservatives like Jim Jordan do not come along often, and he is an absolute asset to his district.

 November is going to be tough for Republicans all over the country, and will all need our help... But keeping Mr. Jordan in office is looking to be moving up this list of priorities.

Special Counsel to Judge: 

 You Don’t Have the Authority to Review What We’re Doing.

2:24 pm May/5/18 by streiff

 Yesterday, the special counsel had a very tough day in court. Federal district judge T. S. Ellis was openly skeptical not only of the authority of the special counsel to undertake the prosecution of Paul Manafort on crimes that are over a decade old, but he was blatantly skeptical of the honesty of the special counsel as well.

 It probably wasn’t lost on the judge that the special counsel had said in court filings that Manafort had been in contact with Russian intelligence operatives in 2016 and then had to admit, via a Brady motion, that it actually had zero evidence that this was true.

 Now the transcript has started leaking out and it looks worse than the media reports from yesterday.

NYC wanted to be a sanctuary. They just got a visit from ICE.

  4:31 pm  Apr/24/18 Jazz Shaw

Mayor de Blasio kept insisting that he would remain “defiant” and that New York City would be a sanctuary for illegal immigration.

 If you really want to be a sanctuary city, ICE is going to treat you like one. Immigration officials just wrapped up a six day operation in the Big Apple code named Operation Keep Safe and they arrested more than 200 illegal aliens.

 Federal immigration officials arrested 225 people in a sweeping six-day raid in the five boroughs and surrounding counties, officials said.

 Operation Keep Safe, as the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency called it, netted 163 people in the city between April 9 through April 14 — 45 of whom had no outstanding criminal issue.

 ICE officials said that 180 of those arrested were convicted criminals or had criminal charges pending against them, but refused to release their names. 

 Those people now face deportation.

The feds groused that the city refused to cooperate in the arrests, claiming that it only increases the amount of people arrested who pose no public safety threat.

City officials are complaining because nearly fifty of the detainees have “no other criminal issue” beyond being in the country illegally.

 But whose fault is that? The agency has been repeatedly reminding these jurisdictions that if they simply honored ICE detainers and turned over the criminals when they had them in jail, the officers wouldn’t have to go out into the community to round them up.

 But when you make them do it the hard way, they’re always going to run across some other illegals hanging out with the primary targets. At that point, there’s no sense in leaving them behind if there’s room in the van.

 Here’s the mayor promising to be the voice of defiance, resisting the President, the Justice Department and ICE.

 That isn’t working out for you too well at the moment, sir.

You can’t say they didn’t warn you this was going to happen, either.

 You were also put on notice last October that your DOJ funding was going to be cut off if you continued down this road.

Take a look around your city today. Does it look like these men are kidding?

 It's time to consider some new policies when it comes to illegal aliens. 

If not, perhaps the citizens of New York City could consider new management at City Hall before this situation gets further out of hand.

Judge issues surprise ruling on withholding funds for sanctuary state.

 By: Jazz Shaw

If you are a noncompliant jurisdiction in terms of cooperating with immigration enforcement and you take the White House to court, demanding that you receive your Justice Department grant money anyway, be careful what you wish for. 

 Mexifornia went so far as to declare that the entire state was a sanctuary for criminal illegal aliens but demanded that Uncle Sam keep dishing out the grant money anyway!

 A district judge in Northern Mexifornia has ruled that the government doesn’t have to pony up the cash until the matter can be hashed out fully in court.

 The Trump administration will not immediately have to award Mexifornia a grant being withheld over concerns the state is a sanctuary for people in the country illegally, a federal judge said Monday.

 The amount of money at issue – $1 million – was relatively small and was at this point only delayed, not denied, U.S. District Judge William Orrick said.

 While he rejected the state’s request for a preliminary injunction to turn over the money, he also rejected a request by the U.S. Department of Justice to dismiss Mexifornia’s lawsuit.

The judge said the suit raised “weighty and novel constitutional issues” that would benefit from additional argument. Judge Orrick is not only a District Judge for the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Mexifornia, but he’s an obuma appointee to boot.

 If he’s concerned about the “weighty and novel constitutional issues” raised by Mexifornia’s claim then the case is in serious trouble.

 I’ve opined here from the beginning, it’s difficult to imagine the Supreme Court siding with Mexifornia or any of the sanctuary cities.

 We’re not talking about money appropriated specifically for individual states and cities which they’re “entitled” to.

 This is money appropriated for the Justice Department to issue in the form of Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance grants. And the word “grants” is key here. As with any other grant program, there’s an application process with the applicants needing to meet certain criteria established by the agency issuing the funds. And not everyone who applies wins a grant, even if they meet all the qualifications.

2)

 If the Justice Department decides that one criteria is that you must cooperate with federal immigration enforcement officials to protect your citizens, that should be the end of the conversation.

 That wasn’t the only win that the Trump administration scored in court this week. A judge in Maryland has ruled that the White House had the right to end DACA when Trump made the call. Judge Roger W. Titus, a Bush appointee, ruled late Monday that President Trump acted within his authority in his plan to rescind an executive order former resident barry obuma announced in 2012 as a way to protect illegal immigrants who were brought to the United States as minors. 

 Trump ended the order over a period of six months until Congress could legislatively solve the problem.

“This decision took control of a pell-mell situation and provided Congress — the branch of government charged with determining immigration policy — an opportunity to remedy it.

 Given the reasonable belief that DACA was unlawful, the decision to wind down DACA in an orderly manner was rational,” Titus wrote.

 The entire DACA question should have been as clear-cut as the conversation over federal grants. It’s a matter of who holds the authority to do what between the federal and state governments or between the executive and legislative branches.

 In this case, DACA was an executive action summoned up by a president with no input from Congress. The idea that a subsequent president doesn’t have the authority to modify or even end that executive action is insane. And yet you can still find a judge willing to entertain the notion if you look in the right places.

 In any event, it was a pretty good week for Trump in the courts!

Why are attempted border crossings spiking again? 

 1:01 pm May/5/18  Jazz Shaw

While the unemployment rate news may have been good, there are some other figures out there which aren’t looking quite so rosy.

 After hitting dramatically lower levels last spring, attempted efforts at border jumping by illegal aliens have surged significantly over the past couple of months.

 Customs officials are reporting that border apprehensions are as much as three times higher than they were during the same period last year. 

 There’s clearly a mystery lurking in this story which we’ll need to figure out.----- So, we still don't know 'why' attempted border crossings spiking again!

Minnesota Liberal Also Gun Rights Advocate.
May/5/18 by Tom Knighton
Sometimes, it’s hard to remember that “liberal” isn’t always synonymous with “gun grabber.” It shouldn’t be that hard, at least for me, but it is.
After all, look who is typically coming after our guns? It’s not the libertarians or the conservatives. It’s liberals, right?
However, the Minnesota Star Tribune has a profile of a woman who is both a pro-gun activist and a liberal.
Here’s how Sarah Cade used to think of American gun owners: “old, fat, white guys, and they’re all racists and they hate everyone.”
Of course, that was before she got a gun.
Cade is young, biracial and passionately liberal. She’s also become a self-described gun nut and a staunch defender of gun ownership.
But she wants to be nice about it.
“I have a talent for disagreeing with people without being a jerk about it,” she said. “I don’t like hostility in any of my interactions. I’m very nonconfrontational.”
She writes pro-gun op-ed articles and testifies at legislative hearings. She lobbies her legislator, gets quoted in newspaper articles and interviewed on podcasts. She debates people online, speaks at public forums and appears in gun rights advocacy videos.
She defines the stereotype of a Second Amendment crusader.
She has empathy for people who are scared by AR-15 rifles, one of which she owns.
“I know why people are afraid of them. Like, I understand that. I know that it’s scary for some
people to think that other people have the capacity to cause harm,” she said.
And she understands just how negatively gun owners are often viewed. “There’s a perception that gun owners don’t care,” she said, “and that could not be farther from the truth!”
Cade is probably one of the more effective voices the gun community can have because she’s not a conservative or libertarian.
Gun control activists are used to dismissing our opinions out of hand. After all, we’re just crusty old white guys, even if we’re not. They can safely ignore us.
But they can’t ignore Cade! She’s a biracial woman who tends to be liberal in her politics.
She shatters everything the anti-gun activists believe about gun owners. Believe me, that’s important. It gets inside their OODA loop, so to speak. It disrupts their narrative and throws them for a loop. Now, suddenly, they have to address the facts outright.
I’m sure Cade is probably not a Bearing Arms fan. This site isn’t particularly friendly toward pro-gun liberals. It’s not intentionally, but I sometimes lash out at anti-gun liberals in such a way that it may well feel like I’m lumping Cade in with Shannon Watts.
I’m not, but I probably haven’t been clear enough on that. We need people like Cade! We need people like her badly! People like her, Maj Toure, and Colion Noir all contribute to undermining the idea of the 'crusty old white man-gun owner'.
With Cade, it becomes clear that gun ownership should be bipartisan.

CCI To Host Celebrities At NRA Annual Meeting In Dallas.
4:00 pm May/4/18 by Tom Knighton
People love celebrities, and while many of us in the gun community decry the celebrity culture throughout the country, we still fanboy or fangirl over Jerry Miculek or Julie Golob.
CCI apparently gets it. That’s why it plans on hosting a number of firearm-related celebrities at the NRA Annual Meeting taking place now in Dallas.
CCI Ammunition invites attendees of the 2018 NRA Meetings & Exhibits Show to the Vista Outdoor booth 7530, to meet online trick shooting superstar 22plinkster, plus legendary alligator hunters Troy and Jacob Landry. The event runs May 3-6 in Dallas, Texas.
YouTube shooting sensation 22plinkster is a familiar face to fans around the world. His incredible rimfire trick shots and other entertaining shooting demonstrations have to date drawn more than 66 million views. 22plinkster will appear in the CCI booth on Saturday, May 5, from 11 a.m. to noon.
From the hit series “Swamp People” on the History Channel, Cajuns Troy and Jacob Landry, bring a taste of the wild world of Louisiana alligator hunting to the CCI booth from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, May 5 and from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 6.
Booth 7530 will also highlight all the latest CCI Ammunition. Attendees are encouraged to stop by throughout the show to learn more about these exciting new technologies and the advantages of choosing CCI Ammunition.
CCI is a brand of Vista Outdoor Inc., an outdoor sports and recreation company. For more information on CCI Ammunition, go to www.cci-ammunition.com.
Those are pretty cool people to meet up and chat with. For those who could care less, the NRA Annual Meeting has plenty of other interesting things to see and do. Plus, if you’re there, you get to annoy the anti-gun activists who have promised to protest the meeting.
You can do that simply by existing and not bowing down to their childish demands for you to give up more of your rights so they can further their delusion that it’ll make anyone safer.
So, there’s that too.
Or, if you’re like me and stuck far away from the fun in Dallas, you can watch whatever you want and try to pretend you have no interest in attending one of the biggest firearm-related events of the year!
I’m sure CCI would rather you take a range trip and burn through some of its ammo.
That's not a half bad way to vent your frustration at not being in Dallas!
Plus, it’ll help you become an even better shot which is always a good thing. I don’t think any of us really get enough training.
But, if you’re there, stop by CCI’s booth and have a chat with some of your favorite gun celebs. You can ask those questions you’ve always wanted to know about their shows and YouTube channel and do it in an environment where they’re ready and expecting questions like that.
So check it out if you’re in town. But you'd better hurry!
The event runs May 3-6 in Dallas, Texas.
