Attorney General Jeff Sessions said.

“We are not going to let this country be invaded!

We will not be stampeded!

We will not capitulate to lawlessness!

This is NOT business as usual.

This is the Trump era!," the Attorney General said.

A look at Robert Jeffress, the controversial figure giving the prayer at the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem today.
5/14/18 by Eugene Scott
One of President Trump's closest evangelical advisers gave the prayer Monday at the opening of the new U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem. But Robert Jeffress's past comments about other faiths, including Judaism, followed him to the event.
Jeffress, pastor of First Baptist Church in Dallas, a Southern Baptist mega-church in Texas, regularly talks about the significance of Jerusalem to conservative Christians — a major component of Trump’s base of supporters.
Jerusalem welcomes the new U.S. Embassy as Palestinians decry ‘hostile’ move.
Long before Jeffress began defending Trump on cable news, he made headlines for attacking other Americans whose faith is different from his own — something former GOP presidential nominee mitt romney noted Sunday on Twitter.
“Robert Jeffress says 'you can’t be saved by being a Jew,' and 'mormonism is a heresy from the pit of hell.' He’s said the same about islam. Such a religious bigot should not be giving the prayer that opens the United States Embassy in Jerusalem,” tweeted romney, a candidate for the Senate in Utah and a moron.
Here are just five controversial things Jeffress has said in the past.
mormonism is a 'cult'
Following the 2011 Value Voters Summit, Jeffress told reporters that mormonism is a “cult” and that voting for romney for president would “give credibility to a cult” — a position he first took in the 2008 election.
At the time, Jeffress said he was planning to give a sermon in which he would talk about “how a Christian should vote.” One of his criteria for candidates: “Is be a Christian.”
Many evangelicals, he said, were afraid to talk about mormonism but would have a hard time voting for a mormon candidate!
He added, “As a pastor I am not nearly as concerned about a candidate's record on fiscal issues or immigration issues” as about social conservative bona fides.
muslims going 'to Hell'
In a 2010 Politically Incorrect lecture series, Jeffress said:
“God sends good people to Hell. Not only do religions like mormonism, islam, judaism, hinduism — not only do they lead people away from God, they lead people to an eternity of separation from God in Hell.”
Pastor Robert Jeffress of the First Baptist Church in Dallas. On his television show “Pathway” to Victory in 2010, Jeffress called the catholic church an instrument of Satan. He said:
If you want to counterfeit a dollar bill, you don’t do it with purple paper and red ink, you’re not going to fool anybody with that.
But if you want to counterfeit money, what you do is make it look closely related to the real thing as possible.
And that’s what Satan does with counterfeit religion. He uses, he steals, he appropriates all of the symbols of true biblical Christianity, and he changes it just enough in order to cause people to miss eternal life. catholicism is the result of 'corruption'
In a 2011 sermon, Jeffress called catholicism a “cult-like, pagan religion” that “infected the early Church” and “corrupted” it by showing “the genius of Satan.”
He said: “Today the Roman catholic church is the result of that corruption. Much of what you see in the catholic church today doesn't come from God's word. It comes from this cultlike pagan religion.
You say, 'Well, now, Pastor, how can you say such a thing? That is such an indictment of the catholic church.' After all, the catholic church talks about God and the Bible and Jesus and the blood of Christ and salvation. Isn't that the genius of Satan?”
clinton supporters are going to hell.
In a Fox News debate, Jeffress defending his support for Trump by telling analyst Juan Williams that backing killary clinton would send him to the lowest depths of hell.
“The other choice was killary clinton, and although my friend Juan describes her as kind of St. killary of Chappaqua, she's hardly a bastion of virtue herself.
“If I am going to hell, Juan — like you say I am for supporting Donald Trump — then that means you're going to be a hundred floors below me for supporting killary clinton,” he added.

**** MAN'S INHUMANITY TO MAN! ****

  In the U.S., There Are 219,000 Women Behind Bars.

5/14/18   BY; Elizabeth Nolan Brown

 Chaining pregnant prisoners to hospital beds as they give birth and forcing female inmates to wear blood-soiled clothes after denying them menstrual products: These are just a couple of the unjustifiable conditions common in U.S. jails and prisons, where populations of women have been skyrocketing.

 Fortunately, a number of state legislatures have mobilized this year to push criminal justice reforms aimed at the unique needs of female prisoners.

 In January, Arizona state Rep. Athena Salman introduced a measure requiring the free provision of tampons and menstrual pads to incarcerated women.

 It was blocked by the House Rules Committee chair, but this prompted an activist campaign (LetItFlow)

[ Was a Pun Intended?] and ultimately a decision from the Arizona Department of Corrections to up the allowance of such products per inmate.

 Connecticut started discussing reform after a woman gave birth in her jail cell in February.

Gov. Dannel Malloy proposed legislation that would ban shackling pregnant women during labor and create friendlier kid visitation policies for incarcerated mothers.

 Lawmakers in Kentucky—which now has the second-highest female incarceration rate in the U.S.—are also considering reforms. In March, the state Senate passed a bill that would both improve conditions for pregnant inmates and seek to send fewer women to prison in the first place, by directing pregnant women with drug problems to treatment rather than jail.

 "The criminal justice system was built for men," said the bill's sponsor, Republican state Sen. Julie Raque Adams, but her bill prioritizes "the welfare of babies and the women who are carrying them."

 More than half of all incarcerated women have children. It's past time that states stopped ignoring the needs of this group.

 There's a dark side to the reforms as well: They're gaining ground because female prison populations are exploding, the result of ineffective government policies, particularly when it comes to policing drugs and sex.

 Keeping nonviolent offenders locked up for not having bail money is also a cause. More than 60% of women incarcerated in local jails have not been convicted of a crime, according to a 2017 report from the Prison Policy Initiative (PPI) and the American Civil Liberties Union.

 There are now around 219,000 women behind bars throughout the U.S., with most in state prisons = 45% or local jails = 43%. And while men still make up the vast majority of incarcerated people—about 93% in 2015—"women's prison populations have seen much higher relative growth than men's since 1978," PPI's Wendy Sawyer wrote.

 In state prisons, the female inmate population grew 834% between 1978 and 2015, a rate more than double that of the male population. The number of women in federal prison has also grown since the 1970s, though not as quickly.

"States continue to 'widen the net' of criminal justice involvement by criminalizing women's responses to gender-based abuse and discrimination," Sawyer noted. "Policy changes have led to mandatory or 'dual' arrests for fighting back against domestic violence, increasing criminalization of school-aged girls' misbehavior—including survival efforts like running away—and the criminalization of women who support themselves through sex."

 Drug criminalization also played a role, particularly in the 1990s. These offenses contributed to the spike in female incarceration, though there has also been a significant rise in the number of women convicted of violent crimes.

 Individual states show strong variation here, with Alabama, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Texas, Wisconsin, and Washington seeing female prison populations rise even as male incarceration declined between 2009 and 2015.

 In Michigan, the men's rate shrank 8% while female incarceration grew 30%.

Idaho added 25% more women to its prisons over this period.

 A new report out of Texas found 8,500 fewer male inmates in 2016 compared to 2009, but 500 more women behind bars.

 Kudos to some states for acknowledging the challenges these surging populations create and for working to meet the specific needs of female prisoners.

 Let's hope they're also committed to addressing what's putting so many women in jail and prison in the first place.

5 Major Trump Promises Kept.

 05/14/18  by: TTN Staff

Liberals say that President Trump is a failure in public, but privately sweat when they think of what he's accomplishing.

 Compared to previous presidents, President Trump is actively working on his campaign promises!

Politifact shows that he is attempting reform, even when the swamp bogs him down. 
 5 times he delivered on his promises!

President Trump has been very successful at shredding obuma's "pen and phone" mandates, where obuma was unwilling to submit policies to the scrutiny of the elected legislature. Trump has demolished most of obuma's legacy, and number five must make obuma furious. 

1) President Trump has been fighting the border battle alone, as pro-amnesty Republicans and Democrats will not give him the funds to start construction on the wall.

 In spite of them, apprehensions are up on the southern border, and  President Trump is ending "catch and release",  deploying more National Guard, as well as immigration judges and border patrol agents, to legally address the problem at its source. This, in conjunction with his Sanctuary Cities Executive Order that is being reviewed by the Supreme Court, shows the first real promise of enforcing immigration law in decades.  
2) Last week when President Trump pulled out of the fake treaty, he spoke for most of us when he said he was "embarrassed as a citizen" by the deal. We can't get the money back that obuma used to bribe the Iranians into "pausing" their nuclear program; $150 Billion would be 37.5% of Iran's GDP. President Trump still promised to get us out of the bad deal and to reinstate sanctions on the hostile regime. 
3) Resident slick willy signed a law in 1995 that authorized the placement of an American embassy in Jerusalem. Presidents have waived the execution of this law for some time, but President Trump did not. He boldly proclaimed that Jerusalem is the eternal capital of Israel, and opened the American embassy there on Monday. The Israeli people love him for delivering on this promise, where predecessors have faltered.

4) President Trump has made the military a priority in ways that resident obuma did not. He lifted the restrictive Rules of Engagement where soldiers in the field had to ask for permission to return fire and have upped military spending from the restrictive obuma era sequestration. ISIS is now a shell of its former self, as top leaders keep getting killed or captured. 

5) Resident obuma's signature legislation, obumadon'tcare, was dealt a blow by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, as it guts the individual mandate tax on Americans to purchase health insurance. It also freed up massive amounts of capital the government was pocketing, giving President Trump an economy that put obuma's to shame. This promise makes President Trump a 'jobs president', on top of hurting obumadon'tcare, which must make obuma fume!

Protests on Gaza’s border with Israel turn deadly.

 5/14/18 | MALAKA

 Dozens of Palestinians have been killed, as Israel celebrates America’s embassy move to Jerusalem.

 THEY ran up the hill to burn tyres or cut the coils of barbed wire.

A westerly wind blew acrid smoke into Israel. Tear-gas canisters whiz...

 Such was the scene at Malaka, in northeastern Gaza, and at points all along the armistice line with Israel.

This week is the climax of two months of protests by the strip’s 2m residents. Monday was the bloodiest day yet. 

 By mid-afternoon Israeli soldiers had killed more than 40 Palestinians, according to Gaza’s health ministry, the highest single-day toll since the Gaza-Israel war of 2014. Around 2,000 others were hurt.

 Palestinians call it the “Great Return March”, an effort to go back to their historic lands (70% of Gazans are refugees or their descendants) in modern-day Israel. In fact, few tried to return.

 There was no mass attempt to storm the fence. Most people hung well back in fields and dusty lots, where vendors sold sandwiches and soft drinks. “People came to watch other people,” joked one man, himself only watching.

 

 Though it has a reputation as a war zone, Gaza is more often a place of grinding boredom. Most of its people cannot leave the 365-square-kilometre enclave because of Israeli and Egyptian blockades. The Rafah crossing with Egypt was open for just 17 days in the first four months of this year. Israel tightly controls the movement of goods and people over two crossings, at Erez and Kerem Shalom. There is little work—44% are unemployed—and little to do in crowded, impoverished cities.

 Trapped inside, Gazans lurch from one crisis to the next. The latest is self-inflicted: during a protest on Friday they torched their own gas terminal, cutting the supply from Israel. Distributors have rationed what remains. Families wonder how they will cook during Ramadan, which starts this week.

 Despair brought Mujahid Abu Shuayb to a protest last month. His story is a familiar one. Last year he lost his job at a marble factory. He cannot afford to start a family. “I was bored and this was something new in Gaza,” he says. Now Mr Abu Shuayb, 30, is in a hospital bed watching his leg swell and blacken from necrosis, the result of being shot. Doctors expect to amputate it this week.

 A better hospital could probably save it—but he cannot get permission to cross into Israel for treatment.

Most businesses were closed in support of the protests. In the few cafés that stayed open, patrons watched a surreal split screen on television: on one side, blood and smoke; on the other, well-dressed diplomats at the official opening of the new American embassy in Jerusalem.

 Donald Trump, the American president, defied decades of precedent in December and recognized the contested city as Israel’s capital. It was a diplomatic coup for Binyamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, and for the entire Israeli right, which insists that Jerusalem will never be divided in a peace agreement, should there ever be one.

 President Trump scoffed at experts who said the move would ignite the region. He was right.

There was no mass unrest in the Arab world, not even in the occupied West Bank—only in Gaza.

 A local activist dreamed up the protests, but Hamas, the militant islamist group that runs Gaza, quickly co-opted them. It sent mass text messages urging Gazans to attend and organised free buses to bring them to the frontier. “There is a wild tiger that was besieged and starved through 11 years, and now it has been set free,” says Yahya Sinwar, the group’s second-in-command.

 But some Hamas leaders fear even they cannot control the tiger. The group’s own cadres are angry that Hamas has not tried to avenge weeks of bloodshed. On a radio station run by islamic Jihad, a rival militant group, hosts urged their comrades to retaliate.

 Israeli jets carried out at least one airstrike against a Hamas outpost. An army spokesman threatened more if the protests continued—which they will. A larger one is planned for Tuesday.

 Such was the scene at Malaka, in northeastern Gaza, and at points all along the armistice line with Israel. This week is the climax of two months of protests by the strip’s 2m residents. Monday was the bloodiest day yet. By mid-afternoon Israeli soldiers had killed more than 40 Palestinians, according to Gaza’s health ministry, the highest single-day toll since the Gaza-Israel war of 2014. Around 2,000 others were hurt.

Open Borders-- Britain creates a more hostile environment for immigrants.
The country once welcomed foreigners. Now, not so much.

 5/14/18 by J.T.

“Promiscuity or sexual preference within the law. Drinking or gambling. Eccentricity, including beliefs, appearance and lifestyle.” These are just a few of the criteria that Britain can use to deny citizenship, if “by the scale and persistence of their behaviour, applicants have made themselves notorious in their local or the wider community.”

 The Home Office’s rules cover all manner of sins, from the serious to things like a police caution or failing to pay local taxes.

  Although the “notoriety clause” is almost never used, its very existence gives the Home Office wide discretion, says Nick Nason, an immigration lawyer at Edgewater Legal.

 The number of rejections on the vague grounds of “good character” has more than doubled from 2012 to 5,525 in 2016, the latest year for which data are available.

 The main cause for the surge seems to be petty misdeeds.

In one case, a Botswanan who had served with distinction in the British army failed because he had broken the speed limit on a motorway, the decision was later reversed in court.

  Solange Valdez-Symonds, head of the Project for the Registration of Children as British Citizens, an advice service, has noticed an increase in children being refused because of their parents’ mistakes.

 Applying these rules more strictly marks a major shift. A decade ago Britain was one of Europe’s most welcoming countries. It admitted 2.3m immigrants between 2008 and 2011, the highest tally on the continent.

 And it was remarkably generous when giving out passports, too. In 2009, the first year for which continental data are available, Britain granted citizenship to 4.8% of its foreign residents. That was nearly twice the average rate for countries in the European Union—and well ahead of France (3.6%), Italy (1.7%), Spain (1.5%) and Germany (1.3%).

 The workers attracted by such hospitality were hardly scroungers. Between 2001 and 2011 they contributed about £25bn more in taxes than they used in benefits, according to research from Christian Dustmann and Tommaso Frattini of University College London.                               

 Yet that hospitality has soured. In 2010 the Conservative government vowed to cut annual net migration from 250,000 to below 100,000.

 Two years later Theresa May, the home secretary, promised a “hostile environment” for illegal immigrants, starting with an advertising campaign telling them to “go home”.

  Despite this, net migration has remained at around 250,000 a year.

The bureaucrats who heeded Mrs May’s urging to make life hard for immigrants contributed to the recent Windrush scandal, in which people from the Caribbean who had been granted indefinite leave to remain in 1971 lost their jobs or were detained, since they could not prove that they had been in the country continuously since then. The Windrush generation—named after one of the first passenger ships that brought them over—are far from the only victims of the hostile climate. The Home Office’s data show that between 2013 and 2017 it has reduced the annual number of citizenship grants by more than 40%, from 208,095 to 123,229. The figure for “settlement” (which confers an indefinite leave to remain) has dropped by nearly 60%, from 154,701 to 63,941.

 The rules for settlement are even vaguer than the standards for citizenship. Home Officeguidelines instruct officials to deny indefinite leave to remain if “it is undesirable to let an applicant stay because of their character, behaviour or associations”, without offering further explanation.

 Engineers, scientists and healthcare workers have faced deportation because of minor irregularities, such as small errors in their tax returns, according to a report in the Guardian. In some cases they have been told to leave the country within 14 days.

 These judgements can even fall on people born in Britain, who do not qualify automatically for citizenship if their parents had not previously gained settlement. Such children are quite literally “citizens of nowhere”, to borrow one of Mrs May's catchphrases.

 Many eligible candidates have been discouraged from applying for settlement or citizenship altogether, creating a vast pool of people whom the state wrongly views as illegal entrants, according to Satbir Singh, the chief executive of the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants, a legal-aid and advocacy group.

 Another hurdle is that the cost of applying has been steadily increasing. Since 2006 the price of a citizenship test has risen five-fold to £1,282, according to the Migration Observatory at Oxford University, earning the Home Office more than £100m a year. A law passed in 2012 increased the financial burden further by limiting legal-aid payments to asylum seekers or crime victims. The same year also saw the introduction of an income requirement for British citizens seeking to sponsor settlement for their relatives: a minimum of £18,600 a year, rising to £22,400 if the relative wants to bring an accompanying child, plus £2,400 for every extra sibling.

 “We have gone from having a culture where the authorities didn’t erect barriers to citizenship to having one with bureaucratic and other obstacles,” explains Colin Yeo, an immigration lawyer at Garden Court Chambers. “The change in ‘good character’ rulings,” he laments, “is a moral change.”

John Kelly’s ‘assimilation’ into a hard-line stance against illegal immigrants.
05/11/18 Eugene Scott
White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly provided another reminder that he continues to support President Trump's hard-line immigration policies in an NPR interview that aired Friday.
Kelly was defending the Justice Department's policy that includes separating children from parents being prosecuted for immigrating illegally into the United States, when he told NPR that undocumented immigrants do not “easily assimilate” into American culture.
Here's what he said:
"The vast majority of the people that move illegally into the United States are criminals. They're not MS-13.
They're not people that would easily assimilate into the United States, into our modern society. They're overwhelmingly rural people. In the countries they come from, fourth-, fifth-, sixth-grade educations are kind of the norm. They don't speak English; obviously that's a big thing!
They don't integrate well; they don't have skills. They're coming here for a reason.
But the laws are the laws.
The big point is they elected to come illegally into the United States, and this is a technique that no one hopes will be used extensively or for very long.
Kelly's belief is a popular one from hard-line conservative groups, and that line of thinking often extends to claims that undocumented and legal aliens are more of a drain on the American economy than an asset.
In a 2016 welfare use by alien households cost taxpayers more than native citizens in welfare dollars than the average household of native-born citizens, and that “The greater consumption of welfare dollars by aliens can be explained in large part by their lower level of education and larger number of children compared to natives.”
Other right-leaning think tanks disputed the findings in the CIS report. The Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank, picked apart the methodology used by CIS to support their claims, calling their findings “exaggerated.”
CIS — and many hard-liners on immigration — don't want to see less illegal immigration. They want to see less immigration period, wrote Alex Nowrasteh, a senior immigration policy analyst at Cato. If they can argue that immigrants refuse to “Americanize” and instead end up draining this country's resources, they hope lawmakers will back policy ideas that keep immigration numbers as close to zero as possible.
It's true that immigrants from rural communities, with little education, no command of English and a lack of skills to gain meaningful employment do not find assimilating into “modern society” easy.
But it's not impossible. Beginning more than a century ago, nearly 2 million immigrants from Ireland — the country from which Kelly's ancestors descend — came to the United States, where they faced harsh backlash from native citizens.
People of Irish heritage now make up 10% of the U.S. population, according to the Census Bureau.
As with previous cases, not all of Kelly's statements Friday totally meshed with the president's.
In the same NPR interview, Kelly spoke in favor of granting a path to citizenship for immigrants who have been in the United States under temporary protected status from countries like El Salvador, Haiti and Honduras, if they had been here long enough to assimilate.
You take the Central Americans that have been here 20-plus years. I mean if you really start looking at them and saying, “Okay, you know you've been here 20 years. What have you done with your life?” What have you done for America?
That's what I think we should do — for the ones that have been here for shorter periods of time, the whatever it was that gave them TPS status in the first place. They should go home.
Still, Kelly's strong stance against illegal immigration will probably land well with Trump's base, and could help him remain in good favor with his boss despite frequent reports that Trump is often frustrated with Kelly's performance in other areas.
Kelly spoke to NPR the same day Trump reportedly unleashed a tirade on Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, a close Kelly ally, over what Trump views as unsatisfactory border security.
But it's worth highlighting that significant percentages of Americans share the Trump White House's hardest positions on immigration. And separating children from their parents has previously been a line that even conservatives did not want to cross.
Like Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Kelly has made it clear that “law and order” — will be the dominant philosophy he employs when responding to immigrants seeking the American Dream that Kelly's ancestors pursued.

Illegal immigration also on northern border.
By Jolene Cleaver
Amid calls from President Donald Trump to secure the nation’s borders, much of the emphasis has been on the Mexican border.
But officials say the country’s northern border is busy, too.
“Most people don’t realize, but you have over 1 million people every day at a point of entry. It’s a huge job,” said a Customs and Border Patrol spokesperson. “There are 54,000 border patrol agents nationwide.”
Between Oct. 1, 2016, and Sept. 30, 2017, U.S. Customs and Border Protection apprehended 3,027 people attempting to illegally cross into the U.S. from Canada. Of that number, 896 were in sectors that touch the northern border of New York. And of those, 140 cases were prosecuted.
From Jan. 1 to April 30 this year, 35 misdemeanor-level illegal entry cases were prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of New York.
“Sometimes, depending on the case, they are referred for prosecution,” said Richard Southwick, a public information officer for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of New York.
But many times, illegal entry cases involving first-time offenses are handled administratively without going to court, he said. “There are various levels of prosecution.”
Once in court, illegal entry conviction is a misdemeanor for the first offense and a felony for repeat offenders. For those who return after having been removed from the country, penalties increase with each additional attempt, federal prosecutors say.
Not everyone who enters the country illegally is caught at the border, however.
Sometimes, Southwick said, federal prosecutors stumble onto situations where prisoners facing other charges are found also to be in the country illegally. Typically, in those cases, “they will serve their sentence here in New York then be prosecuted in federal court for unlawful entry,” he said.
So, what happens if you show up at a port of entry and want to become a United States citizen?
“You can’t do it right there. You are referred to another part of the Department of Homeland Security, Citizenship and Immigration Services,” Southwick said.
There, you provide a lot of biographical information and are screened and processed and, if it all checks out, put on a path to naturalization. “That takes about a month,” he said.
More than million travelers arrive at U.S. borders every day to legally enter the United States, according to the Customs and Border Patrol. Travelers arrive at 328 legal ports of entry, which include airports, seaports and land crossings. Each traveler is inspected to determine admissibility to the United States.

Not One Elected Dem Attends Jerusalem Embassy Ceremony!
05/14/18 Derek Hunter
On today’s episode of The Daily Daily Caller Podcast:
It’s official, the U.S. embassy in Israel is now located in Jerusalem.
It’s been the stated intention of the U.S. government since the 1990s to move the embassy, but no president has followed through on that promise, even though they all promised it while campaigning. President Donald Trump made it happen!
http://dailycaller.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Daily-Daily-Calle...
What should be a celebratory day for Republicans and Democrats, not one elected Democrat bothered to attend the ceremony. Why do you think that is?
The only thing the liberal government does efficiently is things that make them money!






Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin (R) vetoed a “constitutional carry” bill Friday, even though it passed both houses of the Legislature with veto-proof majorities and was strongly supported by state and national gun rights groups.

The bill, SB 1212, would have allowed Oklahomans to carry firearms without having to get a permit. Fallin, in a statement, defended her stance on the Second Amendment, which came under fire after the veto.

“Oklahoma is a state that respects the Second Amendment. As governor, I have signed both concealed-carry and open-carry legislation. I support the right to bear arms and own a pistol, a rifle, and a shotgun,” Fallin said in a statement.
The bill passed the Senate 33-9 and passed the House 59-28, but concerns from law enforcement and local businesses played a part in her decision to veto.
