America is Spreading ISIS Around the World

By Daniel Greenfield @ Sultan Knish Blog 

 “More than 70 repatriation missions have returned 1,500 fighters to their home countries, yet much work remains,” Adm. Brad Cooper told a UN conference in New York. “Today, I join you all in calling on every nation with detained or displaced personnel in Syria to return your citizens.”

The ‘citizens’ and ‘fighters’ in question are ISIS. And some are coming here.

Even while one arm of the Trump administration is trying to deport Islamic terrorists and their supporters, another is trying to import them into our communities and around the world.

While ISIS is rebounding in Syria, carrying out 117 attacks, the United States has adopted the position that the tens of thousands of ISIS ‘detainees’ left over from the previous defeat of the Jihadist group have to be distributed around the region and the world including to the U.S.

When an Al Qaeda group known as Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) seized control over Syria, with backing from the Islamist terror regimes in Turkey and Qatar, the Trump administration had a choice between opposing the move or supporting it as a way of getting US troops out of Syria.

The Trump administration dropped sanctions and a $10 million bounty on the head of former Al Qaeda leader and ISIS ally Ahmed al-Sharaa (formerly Abu Mohammed al-Jolani) who along with some of his former Al Qaeda associates was able to tour New York City. Widely reported attacks on Christians, Druze and other minority groups by Sunni Jihadists soon followed.

But the real and much less widely reported issue for the United States that hardly anyone was talking about were the tens of thousands of ISIS detainees being held by the Kurdish militias known as the Syrian Democratic Forces. Unlike the Sunni Jihadist groups that were touted as ‘democratic’ during the heyday of the Syrian Civil War, the SDF is non-Islamist, includes Christians and women, does have Marxist roots, but is the only non-Jihadist game in town.

Turkey’s Islamist regime is obsessed with suppressing the Kurds in its own country and in those areas that its ruler, Erdogan, wants to expand into to rebuild the Ottoman caliphate, like Syria. During the ISIS war, Turkey covertly backed Al Qaeda, ISIS and other Jihadist groups to attack the Kurds. Erdogan did not go to all this trouble just to leave the SDF intact and operational.

The ISIS camps contain at least 9,000 ISIS Jihadis and around 30,000 ISIS family members, who maintain their own mini-ISIS state within the camps, with mothers preparing their children for an endless war. They all pose a significant national security threat wherever they go.

The Trump administration might have insisted that Erdogan leave SDF alone enough to be able to control the camps and keep those inside from breaking out or detain ISIS inside Turkey.

But the man in charge of our Turkey and Syria policy is Tom Barrack, a major Lebanese Arab donor and Jeffrey Epstein associate (Epstein reportedly gifted Barrack an $11,000 watch) who had previously been in court for acting as an unregistered foreign agent of a Muslim oil country (he was acquitted) and whose speeches can be hard to distinguish from Turkish propaganda.

Barrack bemoaned that under Western colonialism, “Sykes-Picot divided Syria” by which Arab nationalists generally mean Greater Syria, but at the same time insisting that federalism for Kurds and Druze is a non-starter because “you can’t have independent non-nation states within a nation.” Barrack reportedly purged American diplomats supportive of the Kurdish militias.

Officially, the new Al Qaeda regime is supposed to take control of all the Kurdish areas, including the ISIS detention camps, but the deal hasn’t been implemented because no one trusts Al Qaeda, and meanwhile we’re pushing other countries to take their ISIS terrorists.

According to a “Syrian military strategist”, the push to export ISIS terrorists is about authorizing a “limited military operation against the SDF” by Turkey and the Al-Qaeda regime while “removing the detainee issue as a bargaining chip.” Once the ISIS terrorists are out, the Al-Qaeda-Turkey alliance is free to attack the Kurds without a mass ISIS jailbreak.

The problem is that we’re already engaging in a slow-motion ISIS jailbreak to enable Turkey’s tribal warfare against the Kurds and the centralization of an Al-Qaeda terror state in Syria.

While most of the ISIS terrorists and their families are staying in Syria or going to Iraq and other places in the region, possibly accounting for the surge in ISIS attacks, some are going to Russia and others to Western countries, including the U.S., which is a potential national security disaster.

Around 6,000 of the ISIS detainees are “third-country nationals”.

“These detainees in camps and prisons must be repatriated by their respective countries,” Turkey’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan insisted, and we’re rushing to obey him.

Not everyone is.

France rightly refused to import around 200 ISIS detainees. Other European countries, some of which previously agreed to accept a small number of ISIS people are balking at taking them all.

And while CENTCOM, which is heading up efforts to clear the ISIS detainees out to make way for a Turkish-Al Qaeda assault on the Kurds, describe them as “foreign citizens”, that’s only by the Arab Muslim definition of ‘citizenship’ that always follows the father, not the birth country.

Many of the so-called ISIS families include children who were born to one or both foreign parents a decade or more ago in Syria or Iraq and have no ties to any other country.

Over the summer, the State Department announced that the United States had “repatriated a U.S. citizen minor” from Syria and claimed that they had given “this child, who has known nothing of life outside of the camps, a future free from the influence and dangers of ISIS terrorism” and urged that “every country must take responsibility for its nationals in northeast Syria and not look to others to solve the problem for them.”

So why is America being expected to solve Syria’s problem by taking in ISIS minors?

Any ‘minors’ living in an ISIS camp were almost certainly born in Iraq or Syria, not in the United States, to a parent who abandoned their American citizenship to join an enemy force. These foreign terrorist minors have no claim on entering America: a country that they never lived in.

The name of this ‘child’ was not given, but in one previous example of “repatriation”, Abdelhamid, a Muslim immigrant living in Minneapolis, left as a teenager to join ISIS, married an ISIS widow, and had a baby with her. Abdelhamid also adopted her previous offspring. The two boys, one of whom was born in Iraq to an immigrant who had temporarily lived in Minneapolis, and the other who had absolutely no blood ties to America, were ‘repatriated’ here.

While children are born innocent, ISIS members trained theirs to hate and kill from an early age. Visitors to the ISIS camps encountered children chanting support for Jihad and violence.

Repatriation means taking in terrorist teenagers already trained to wage war on America.

While there were only 22 U.S. citizens listed in the ISIS camps, each one is a potential ticking time bomb so even one is too many. One single Islamic terrorist killed 49 people in a Florida nightclub. One single Islamic terrorist driving a truck killed 15 people in New Orleans.

“If I had a bowl of skittles and I told you just three would kill you, would you take a handful?” Donald Trump Jr. tweeted about Syrian refugees a decade ago. The advocates for ‘repatriation’ might want to recall that wisdom before they bring the next future terrorist to our community.

“Repatriating vulnerable populations before they are radicalized is not just compassion—it is a decisive blow against ISIS’s ability to regenerate,” Adm. Cooper claimed. The “populations” were long radicalized. And we’re safer with them in Syria than we are with them living next door.

Fighting ISIS by importing ISIS into America, Australia, Canada and Europe is a terrible idea.

The disastrous ‘repatriation’ campaign puts the Trump administration on the same side as the terror lawyers who have been fighting legal battles to force European countries to take in those terrorists, and the ones who want to bring Islamic terrorists into America. President Trump ran on keeping Jihadists out of America but parts of his administration are pursuing appeasement of foreign interests in a way that not only empowers Al Qaeda but imports terrorists into America.

The last thing we should be doing is risking American lives for Turkey’s national interests. And yet we’re risking the lives of our civilian population so that Turkey can expand into Syria.

ISIS repatriation is a bad deal for America and for the rest of the world. We should stop pressuring our allies to take in terrorists and their families. They’re Syria’s problem now.

Progressives Pick Another Losing Battle After Second Judge Arrested

This latest crusade against the Trump administration is going to go about as well as “Maryland man.” 

By Graham J Noble | Apr 27, 2025 @ Liberty Nation News, Tags: Articles, Opinion, Politics

When a former judge was escorted out of his New Mexico residence in handcuffs, many leftists probably thought they had been gifted a fresh angle on the “Trump is a dictator” narrative. The morning after that April 24 incident, a second judge was put in handcuffs, in Wisconsin. Already, it is beginning to appear that some Democratic politicians are going to ensnare themselves as they did with the deported El Salvadoran, Kilmar Abrego Garcia: the “Maryland man.”

Siding with lawbreakers, or suspected lawbreakers, while ignoring the will of a significant majority of Americans is politically awkward enough. Now, once again, a number of leftist lawmakers are setting themselves up to defend the indefensible – and all because their hatred of President Trump has robbed them of the ability to deal reasonably and rationally with any cultural issue or policy position.

Judge Arrested for Preventing an Arrest

Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan, the second judge arrested in as many days, allegedly facilitated the escape, from her own courtroom, of Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, an illegal alien from Mexico with a history of violence. Flores-Ruiz was at the courthouse for a pre-trial conference when federal agents arrived to detain him. Dugan reportedly obstructed the agents’ search and whisked Flores-Ruiz away to a back door. He was chased down in the street by the agents shortly thereafter.

Both judges, it appears, have committed federal crimes. Joel Cano, the former New Mexico judge arrested along with his wife, was apparently harboring an illegal alien, Cristhian Ortega-Lopez, in his home. Cano also reportedly admitted to FBI agents that he destroyed a cellphone belonging to the Venezuelan because it had incriminating photos on it, including pictures of Ortega-Lopez, allegedly a Tren de Aragua gang member, with firearms.

Ortega-Lopez was arrested in late February at Cano’s home. In March, the magistrate judge resigned and has since been permanently barred from serving on the bench by the New Mexico Supreme Court. Cano faces charges of harboring three alleged Tren de Aragua members and evidence tampering. Dugan has been charged with “obstructing and impeding a proceeding before a department or agency of the United States” and “concealing an individual to prevent his discovery and arrest.”

Much of the left’s reaction to these arrests has been astounding, to say the least. Once again, several progressives have shown they will leap headlong into any fight with President Trump, even if it means they find themselves defending something morally repugnant or legally questionable.

No One Is Buying What They Are Selling

As could have been expected, some Democratic officeholders rushed to express their outrage on X. Also, as expected, they attempted to gaslight Americans by spinning a story labeling Trump as a tyrant rather than face the fact that a judge was arrested for allegedly committing one or more felonies.

“The FBI arrested a Wisconsin judge who stood up for due process for immigrants,” wrote Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA). “This is unprecedented. All of us need to stand up and speak out against arresting judges in this country. We are living in dangerous times.”

This is not the first (or even the second) time this has happened. In 2019, a Massachusetts District Court judge was indicted, along with another officer of the court, after attempting to help an illegal alien evade arrest by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

Liberty Nation depends on the support of our readers. Donate now!

Senator Tina Smith (D-MN) decided to ignore the circumstances of the cases altogether. “Understand what this is: If Kash Patel and Donald Trump don’t like a judge, they think they can arrest them,” she posted. “This is stunning — we must stand up to this blatant power grab.”

It’s quite likely that Trump never heard of either judge arrested this past week until after the fact, and FBI Director Kash Patel may only have been vaguely aware of Cano’s existence because of an ongoing investigation relating to the illegal alien arrested at his residence.

Conservatives on X wasted no time reminding their left-wing acquaintances that “no one is above the law,” as the left has said numerous times since Donald Trump first walked into the Oval Office as President in 2017. That tiresome six-word phrase was often followed by, “Not even the president.” Yet the other senator from Minnesota, Amy Klobuchar – even after conceding that “we don’t have all the details,” described Judge Dugan’s arrest as “a grave step” that “undermines our system of checks and balances.” The X account called Republicans against Trump also weighed in: “Judges don’t get arrested in a functioning democracy.” The account did not elaborate on how a democracy functions if judges are, as the post suggests, entirely immune to the criminal justice system.

It seems, then, that presidents are not above the law, but judges are, in the eyes of Trump’s detractors.

Bored? Check This Out!

If there were a cake to take, Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) took it by writing: “The Trump Administration just arrested a sitting judge. This is what happens in authoritarian countries. Stand up now—or lose the power to do so later. The administration must drop all charges and respect separation of powers.”

The Trump administration’s every act, just about, since January, has been blocked by federal judges. These judges have interfered in almost every aspect of executive branch policy. It appears that respect for the separation of powers is not something that’s very high on the list of things about which many leftists care.

Misreading America – Again

This is another fight Trump’s political enemies will probably lose, at least in the arena of public opinion. Few Americans, it is fair to assume, will like the idea that a judge can act with impunity, even when the evidence suggests the judge actively aided a violent illegal alien. Americans traditionally have been known for a basic sense of fairness and a sense that, indeed, no one should be above the law – especially those charged with enforcing it and applying it to suspected lawbreakers.

Several anti-Trumpers are now beginning to realize that beatifying a deported illegal alien suspected of both domestic abuse and being a member of MS-13 was not the best idea. Assuming both these judges are brought to trial, the evidence will be aired for all to see. And assuming the evidence against them is compelling, it will be interesting to see how long some Democrats continue trying to pretend the judges were only arrested because Trump is a dictator. Pulling one’s hand from a fire is the sane thing to do. Holding it there and waiting for the burning to stop is not.

Another Democrat Hill to Die On: Deportation

By Rich Kozlovich

 

 

 

The hills to die on chosen by the leftist radicals in the Democrat party is absolutely mind boggling, and since they "know" it isn't their message and policies that caused them to lose the election, it was the stupidity of  on American voters who are misogynists, racists, homophobes, and xenophobes who didn't understand how wonderful their polices are.   Ergo, they're doubling down, and it would appear deporting illegal migrants, including those who are already criminals simply for being here illegally, but they belong to violent criminal gangs totally committed to all forms of criminal activity here, including murder and rape.  James Zumwalt defines who and what these monsters are like calling them, Joe Biden’s ‘killer bees’, swarming throughout the nation. 

Pam Bondi points out Democrats are detached from reality with their demands that Kilmar Abrego Garcia be returned to America.  A man who is part of a violent criminal terrorist organization.  "These people are so detached from reality that they don’t care about the victims of crimes in this country."   You can tell who and what people are by who their heroes are, they're calling Boasberg a great judicial hero, but that was Raskin, and he's as contemptible as they come.  Deporting illegal migrants, who have no right to due process, isn't a threat to legal residents or citizens as the NY Times claims.  And since when is enforcing the immigration laws passed by Congress the prelude to a police state?  

 

These monsters come to America as highly "organized crime at its worst.”.......... “These people need to be locked up as long as they can, as long as the law allows. We’re not going to let them go anywhere, and if we have to build more prisons in our country, we will do it.”  

 

And America agrees!

 

Unless of course they're leftist Democrats and their corrupt catspaws in the federal judiciary, with rogue judges like Boasberg, who is an absolute disgrace.  A political hack who wants to hold the Trump administration in contempt for not obey his unconstitutional commands, which the Democrats are all in on.  

 

(Editor's Note: Please view My Judiciary Gazette where I list the judges in cahoots with the left, and Boasberg is by far the worst. RK)

 

Then there's Judge Paula Xinis who demands this "grievous deportation order must be reversed", along with another misfit jurist, Indira Talwani, who wants to prevent Trump’s mass cancellation of Biden-Era parole program that ushered in hundreds of thousands of illegals.

Yeah, well,  don't bet on any of these things happening, and at some point if SCOTUS doesn't bring this to a halt, the Congress with it's constitutional authority to determine the jurisdiction of the federal judiciary, and even it's ability to disband federal courts, will step in and end this insanity.  At some point Trump may just take the Jacksonian view they can make all the pronouncements they like, but he is the Executive and he controls enforcement.

 

In Andrea Widburg's article, JD Vance says what needs to be said about illegal aliens and due process she states "It’s inconceivable that our system was intended to give every single alien a full trial to determine his or her right to remain in the U.S."  Their goal? 

 

The  Democrat plan regarding illegal aliens is to force them into the legal system to run out the deportation clock. Now, Vice President Vance has chimed in to make the same point.....The current Democrat approach is the immigration version of the Cloward-Piven policy: Overburden both the civil and immigration systems so much that they collapse under their own weight, allowing illegal aliens to stay in the country forever.

In the twisted irrational thinking of Democrats they seem to think these monsters are their constituents.  As Democrat Van Hollen says the M-13 gang member, Kilmar Abrego Garcia,  “shouldn’t have to spend another second away from his family [in Maryland],”.....adding: I’m flying to El Salvador tomorrow morning to check on his condition and discuss his return."  Well, he did, and it turned out to be a bust.  If this man is he brightest pebble in his brook, he's surrounding by halfwits.  

Instead of all the publicity Senator Chris Van Hollen is getting over his efforts to "bring back Abrego Garcia, an MS-13 member", here's what everyone in the media should be seeing, thinking, and writing about.  The horrible death of Rachel Morin, not their disgusting virtue signaling over the deportation of these monsters. And what was the reaction from the Pravda media?  

It was disgraceful! 

•  ABC, NBC, CBS Won’t Mention Rachel Morin Case but Spent Segment After Segment on Abrego Garcia

Listen up folks, he's not a Maryland Man, which the media insists on calling him, he's here illegally, he's a citizen of El  Salvador, and he's back home and the President of El Salvador isn't giving him back.  He's made it clear he's in in prison and he's going to stay there, and he knows about crushing these criminal gangs, as he's done it in his country, and the nation loves him.  Why?  European nations now more dangerous than El Salvador.

• Democrats line up to visit El Salvador -- seeking to bring back a foreign gangbanger -What a cause to rally around for them.   
• The Left’s Class Action Coup Against Immigration Law  This isn’t due process. It’s due manipulation. 
• DOJ Lawyers: Courts Cannot Force Illegal’s Return from El Salvador President Donald Trump’s deputies say they do not have the authority to make the national government of El Salvador return a deported illegal migrant to the United States...
• Sotomayor’s Specter: No, the Alien Enemies Act Can’t Deport Americans Sotomayor can’t change the law, but she can poison the discourse.

Let's try and get this right once, just once, please.  These people are here illegally, and they have no right to live here, that in itself is sufficient reason for deportation, without any undue interference, but most more importantly, they're monsters, and they certainly don't have a right to all these long term legal shenanigans the left is demanding.   These are the future Democrat voters they want to bring back to America. 

 

 

The question that needs asked over and over again is who's funding these lawfare suits by pro-immigration lawyers?  They're even defending foreign students who hate America but they're outraged they can't live in America in order to spread their vile philosophy.   This isn't just a local thing either, it's a national effort, a national conspiracy if  you will, and it must be expensive, so who's funding it?  Is it George Soros through groups he's funding?  It appears that's so, and I keep wondering how can all this be legal.  

How about this as a solution?  Using the RICO statute to recover the costs of fighting this going after all those involved, including those who fund it, and the judiciary, because it's clearly a criminal conspiracy. 

 

Updates, starting at 8:49 AM:  Ya just can't fix stupid:

• Bill Kristol’s Bulwark Urges ‘All Energy’ to Return Illegal Migrant Abrego Garcia - The opposition to President Donald Trump “must go to the mattresses to bring [deported migrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia] home,” says a senior writer for NeverTrump Bill Kristol’s Bulwark media site.  “Bring. Him. Home. Our cause is here; our time is now,” author Jonathan Last declared on April 15, adding:......
• Loony James Carville Wants Democrats to Make Returning Deported MS-13 Gang Member Their Top Agenda  - Democratic strategist James Carville urged Democrats on Wednesday to strongly prioritize efforts to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia — an illegal migrant and alleged MS-13 gang member deported to his home nation of El Salvador............“People say, ‘Well, should we really fight on this turf or should we fight more on ordinary people?’ And this we should fight on — you can’t pivot to an economic issue,” Carville said. “Wait a minute, this is why we think we’re a country. And if they do this to him, it’s an old saying: ‘First they came for the you know, whatever, and then whatever and then they came for me.’”......

There are consequences for stupid: 

• Trump Team Performed a Masterclass in Obliterating This Narrative About the Deported Illegal Alien- We shouldn’t expect any less from an administration and a staff that knows how the liberal media operates. When you know their playbook, you can make them do anything. I must believe that while the press ranted about how Abrego Garcia was some “Maryland man,” who did nothing wrong, the Trump team slowly lured the entire industry into a trap, only to hit them with a one-two punch that knocked the media’s teeth out.....
• Notice Anything Interesting When That Deported Illegal Alien's MS-13 Ties Were Brought Up on CNN? - It’s over. This game is over............the past few days has been littered with stories about how his MS-13 ties were dubious and how this “Maryland man” was a victim of an illegal deportation.....The Trump team knew what they were doing: they held onto the Justice Department documents exposing Garcia’s MS-13 ties, waited for some dumb liberal to fly down to El Salvador, and then drop this like an anvil. That’s precisely what happened. Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), who likely used his El Salvador trip as a fundraising ploy, can’t raise any cash of this now—he looks like an idiot. This document dump coupled with Patty Morin, the mother of Rachel Morin who was raped and murdered by an illegal from El Salvador in August of 2023, shut down the liberal media...........

P&D and The Week That Was

 

 Truth is the Sublime Convergence of History and Reality

---

De Omnibus Dubitandum, (Everything is to be questioned!)

This Link will take you to My Commentaries. 

 

By Rich Kozlovich

 

 

There are approximately 2.2 million federal civilian employees.  The average cost of a federal employee, including salary and benefits, is around $143,643.  How much money is that in salaries and benefits every year? $316,014,600,000.    

 

Recently it was reported Trump said 1 million federal workers ‘could be fired.’  That's a minimum savings of $172, 371,600,000.  That doesn't count all the other expenses involving employees, such as buildings and the cost of maintaining them.  That's a lot of money, but when you compare saving a hundred and seventy five billion and more dollars to the nation's debt of almost 37 trillion dollars, that's chump change.  But if that's the pattern that plays out in everything they do, then we're talking real money.   I'm convinced by the end of Trump's first year in office, his DOGE team and the generals he's appointed to be heads of these government bureaucracies, are capable of eliminating a trillion dollars in spending. 

I've told this story before, but I think it's  worth repeating.  Some years ago my friend Jay Lehr, who attended Princeton and met Einstein, said when Einstein first came to Princeton he gave seven lectures.  He said the first few were so packed you couldn't beg, steal, borrow, or buy a seat.  By the end of the series there were a lot of empty seats.  I was surprised and I asked him why.  He said Einstein was lecturing some of the smartest people in the world, and they didn't have a clue what he was talking about.  You can only image how that effected their egos.  They didn't dare suggest Einstein didn't know what he was talking about since he was considered the most brilliant man alive.  

Well, I will be the first to acknowledge I'm far more clueless about physics than those sitting in that lecture hall.  But by just watching from the back row there's one thing I've gleaned.  Much about physics is based on a lot of "maybes".  Maybes that can't be proven via the scientific method of observation, experimentation, and analysis.   They can observe, and they can analyze, but how do they experiment?  Take black holes for example, how do you experiment with a black hole?  Now, all of a sudden everything they "knew" about black hole astronomy might be wrong.  As I see it, it's all guess work, and they don't have a clue either, yet they're absolutely positive ..... again.  

Truth be told I find it all interesting and fascinating, and I always have, but in the final analysis, I really don't care.  I consider this to be academic welfare, like so much of what academia does, much of which should not be funded by the government since there's not one iota of practical value in so much of what they do.  If that makes me a neanderthal, I can live with it. 

Fani Willis, of Georgia prosecutor who played the bully role in her attempt to "get Trump" is now crying that Jim Jordan is bullying her.  Imagine that, and doing so in violation of his oath of office.  What? Investigating a known corrupt prosecutor is a violation of his oath?  Really? Why?  Because it's black history month, and he should be celebrating that instead of "bullying" her!  It seems her deck of race cards has no limit.  

The FBI is heading into a maelstrom from which many will not return.  If this true, and I'm betting it is, the "new" FBI has launched an investigation into James Comey, and it's being reported the FBI is destroying evidence including the files on the JFK assassination.

This is the crack national law enforcement agency that raided the home of a mom of four children,  who protested at a school board meeting resulting in an invasion of her home by a FBI SWAT team, knocking down her door, bursting into the house with guns and handcuffing her while she was homeschooling her children.  

The FBI is broken, and it's not just a matter of bad leadership; it's the system itself.  And guess what?  A lot of these miscreants are worried they're going to be thrown in jail, and they have good reason to be worried.  Remember.... no one is above the law.  Their only recourse?  Destroy the evidence! 

I really like being right, and this is one time I wished I wasn't.  The covid shots were not vaccines, not only did they not prevent infections, they weren't designed to do so, and that was right from the mouth of Deborah Birx, who designed their vaccination policy.  A person who needs to be charged with crimes against humanity, or at the very least depraved indifference, right along with Fauci.  Only Fauci has been given a pardon, Brix hasn't.  Fauci isn't immune to  non-federal criminal charges, or civil actions against him. 

 ;

We're seeing a lot of kickback from Democrats over DOGE and all they're exposing, and there's a reason why.   Here's one example,  Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse Backed Legislation That Funneled Millions to His Wife’s Nonprofit.  They're in on the take, and feeding at the government's trough is addictive.  And ya just gotta love pencil neck Schiff.  He knows there are millions of Americans who are downright ashamed of Trump.   And he's right, they're called nitwits, halfwits, dipsticks, and misfits, all of which are Democrats and RINO's.   And we should care why?

Think about this.  Someone recently pointed out: "There are 18 intelligence agencies, and somehow they had no idea that Hamas was going to attack Israel or that Syria was going to collapse. What were they doing? I would say that is a lot of duplicative waste."  Well, it appears we now know a lot about what some of them were doing.  Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard fires 100 perverts spewing out their drooling on government computers and time. 

And this is at the nation's most top secret agency, the NSA, involving the CIA and others.  The questions that now need answering is how did this happen, who in leadership knew about this, when did they know it and is it likely to happen again? Since all these people are being fired, I think I can say, not in the near future, and now, not in the military.  

As for how this happened, and it happened like a things from the left, "a slow march through the institutions", as this article There’s a Trans Cult Inside the NSA, by Christopher F. Rufo explains:

An insider tells the story of the intel agency’s ideological capture..........But according to our whistleblower, these sex chats were just the tip of the iceberg. This longtime NSA insider tells me that the ideological capture of the NSA began a decade ago. Trans activists have entrenched themselves in positions of power, pressured employees to undergo reeducation trainings, and compromised national security in the name of ideology........

It's clear this is deeply entrenched, and it's also clear that many of those who will be thrown out of these top secret agencies may well decide to commit treason in order to get back at those who fire them.  It truly is an "iceberg" problem.

Trump has made it clear any state that doesn't end transgenderism in sports will have their funds cut off, and Maine has made it clear, they don't' care.  They're even going to punish a   GOP Congressman for opposing transgenderism, and they've even attacked a female state Senator for challenging Maine's actions claiming she's done "irreparably breaking the public trust."  The left's capability to use more words in more twisted ways is mind boggling.

As a side bar...did you get a look at their governor?   How does someone that dumb, that strange, and that ugly get elected? There's just gotta be something in the water in Maine. 

 

Another favorite of mine is that great intellectual and moral giant,Michael Moore, with his latest rant filled with logical fallacies claiming one of these deported illegal migrant children might have cured cancer, or stopped an asteroid from hitting the planet.  But then again, maybe they wouldn't.   But if he can show us which ones would be able to do that, we'll keep them.  

In the meanwhile they're criminals because they're here illegally, eating up American's tax money, overwhelming our public services, committing a lot of crimes, forming criminal organizations, and even creating groups to overthrow the United States, much of which Joe Biden can take "credit".  Other than Michael Moore and his ilk, all suffering from mental delusions, the rest of this call this blame, not credit. 

Finally, I was a surprised that all of a sudden DOGE, and the President, want Fort Knox audited.  I thought... really... what's that all about?   There were two show audits in 1953 and 1974, but there's never been a real audit of the gold supply...ever.  And there's some kickback over this, why?  

What really triggered this?  I'm guessing of course, but I'm kinda getting the feeling something unexpected has turned up in one of the DOGE investigations, and I think there's something going on in the background they're not divulging, and it shook them.  But, we'll see.   

This week I've posted eight commentaries of my own, and twenty one by others.  I hope you find them worthy of your time.

Best wishes, 

Rich

 No matter what anyone says, you can’t marginalize the truth!  You can suppress it, you can ignore it, you can avoid it, you can attempt to undermine it, you can attempt to subvert it, you can attempt to organize against it, you can even laugh at it, but if we have the courage and the fortitude to stand and confront the lies, irrespective of the personal costs, the truth will stand the test of time, because truth and time are on the same side.

Mass Deportations Would Save Americans $62 Billion a Year

 The only thing more expensive than deporting illegals… is not deporting them.

By Daniel Greenfield @ Sultan Knish Blog

“It would cost hundreds of billions of dollars to deport every undocumented immigrant in our country,” Senator Dick Durbin warned. 

After losing the open borders debate and the election, Democrats and their media stopped arguing that mass migration is a right and that mass deportations violate human rights.

6 out of 10 registered voters were polled in favor of deporting illegal aliens. The American people had spoken.

So Democrats and their media instead argued that mass deportations would be too expensive. The American Immigration Council, an immigration lawyers lobby group funded by the Ford Foundation, Soros and other open borders groups, was quoted in the media as warning that mass deportations might cost $88 billion a year. None of the media outlets citing the AIC have reported what it is and who it represents, but have taken its $88 billion figure as fact.

This would still make a year of mass deportations cheaper than California’s $128 billion light rail to nowhere. And unlike the light rail to nowhere, the deportations would actually go somewhere.

Mass deportations would end cartel violence and restore national security making it a far better investment than the California train that the Biden administration had decided to fund again.

There’s no reason to take the AIC’s figure as fact. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has an $8 billion annual budget. It already ‘expels’ around a quarter of a million illegals and foreign criminals a year. ICE does more than just detain and deport illegals which our current deportation system often does in about the most expensive way possible. Illegals are currently deported on charter flights also used to fly executives around the country. There’s no reason for the ‘rock star’ treatment.

But let’s for a moment assume that the wildest estimates of open borders supporters are right.

One estimate of the costs of the border crisis ran to $150 billion in 2023. Even assuming that the $88 billion figure is correct, mass deportations would still provide a $62 billion net benefit.

But the $150 billion is likely only a part of the larger cost. Consider the story of one just city.

New York City alone has spent $5 billion in 2 years on the illegal alien invaders. Next year the city expects costs to double. And that’s just the cost of social services. The costs of the illegal alien crime wave can’t even be calculated, but the annual cost of incarceration is over half a million per criminal. The costs of the legal system are difficult to factor, but they are in the high millions. Illegal alien migrants already account for 75% of the arrests in Midtown Manhattan. Over 58,000 illegals in the city have been convicted of a crime or face charges.

New York City would have spent tens of billions of dollars on illegal criminals. That’s one city.

But those tens of billions of dollars are only the most direct costs. Illegal alien crime has forced residents and companies to leave the city. The number of vacant storefronts has doubled. The city’s economic growth has slowed and its future is being held back by the migrant invasion at a cost of further untold billions. Those are losses that easily overshadow the costs of removing the city’s massive illegal alien population beginning with its violent and corrupt criminal elements.

Deporting illegal aliens is expensive. Keeping them here is staggeringly far more expensive.

Education is just one example. Among the illegal alien invaders are over 700,000 school age minors. The cost of educating them starts at $13 billion a year and goes up from there.

NYC alone has enrolled an estimated 40,000 migrant minors. The city’s schools spend an estimated $36,000 per student. That comes to around $1.5 billion in costs. And the costs for non-English speaking students with social problems would be even higher. Chicago has an estimated 17,000 migrant minors enrolled in schools. The city’s per pupil spending is over $34,000 making for total costs of well over $500 million. (While Chicago claims to have spent only $400 million on the migrant invaders in total, the actual numbers are obviously far higher.)

Illegal alien inmates in federal prisons already cost us over $1 billion annually just to incarcerate them. While California bars reporting the legal status of criminals, it was estimated in the past that at least 15% of the state’s prisoner population were illegal aliens. Assuming these numbers still hold true, that would result in over $2 billion in annual costs from illegal alien prison inmates.

317,000 illegal aliens have passed through Texas jails over the years which potentially comes out to $7 billion. But that only tells part of the story. The illegal aliens in Texas jails committed over 1,000 murders. The cost of a single murder, the police response, investigation, trial, and imprisonment runs in the millions.

The 1,000 illegal alien murderers in Texas prisons represent a loss of billions of dollars alone.

While all government spending ultimately comes from taxpayers, mass deportations would be a primarily federal expenditure while much of the spending on illegal aliens is local. Cities have had to close parks and reduce other services to make ends meet. Property taxes have been raised which means that senior citizens are being forced out of their homes to pay for illegals.

Federal spending on mass deportations will have much less of a devastating impact on local communities than the cost of housing, feed, policing, educating and dealing with them.

Finally there is no price that can be put on the cost to the families who have lost a member to illegal alien crime, drunk driving and drug trafficking. No price that can be put on communities and a nation torn apart by open borders. No price that can be put on the existence of America.

Without secure borders and mass deportations, the United States of America has no future.

Democrats who have never shied away from record budgets only bridle at one form of government spending: national defense. Biden’s last proposed budget was a massive $7.3 trillion. The Biden administration allocated $7.5 billion to building electric car chargers. Almost none of the chargers from this subsidy for wealthy electric car owners were ever built.

Imagine how many illegal alien criminals we could have deported for that $7.5 billion.

Some open borders advocates argue that illegal aliens provide economic benefits through cheap labor. But the labor is only ‘cheap’ for their employers. It’s hideously expensive for the taxpayers who pay to house, feed and educate every single member of their large families.

Open borders cost us tenfold for every supposed benefit that some special interest gains.

The likelihood is that the illegal alien population is already a burden that costs us far more than $88 billion or even $150 billion a year. And while a year of mass deportations would not cost us $88 billion (unless we insist on flying them out on Bono’s plane) it will be a bargain at any price.

Mass deportations may be expensive, but the only thing more expensive than mass deportations is not deporting them.

Germany to Begin ‘Large Scale’ Deportations, Says Scholz as Country Faces Record Number of Illegals

Kurt Zindulka 26 Oct 2023

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has admitted that “too many people are coming” into the country illegally and vowed to begin deportations on a “large scale” as Germany is on pace to see more illegal migrants enter the country than during the European Migrant Crisis of 2016.

Amid growing calls throughout Europe to crack down on illegal immigration in the wake of Islamist terror attacks and rising incidents of antisemitic crimes, leftist German leader Olaf Scholz has joined the chorus of leaders finally acknowledging that unfettered waves of illegals breaking into Europe must stop..........To Read More.

ICE Should Deport George Soros as a Nazi Collaborator

It’s time for the Shadow Party's Godfather to face justice. 

Mon Feb 24, 2020 Daniel Greenfield 263

  The deportation of a Nazi death camp guard from his residence in Queens, New York, in 2018 by ICE was described as the removal of the "last known Nazi collaborator from the United States."
That’s not quite true.

There’s another Nazi collaborator living on Fifth Avenue. He’s a billionaire and untouchable because his dubious fortune has been used to finance the Democrat Party, radical leftists, assorted anti-Semites, and opponents of ICE: the agency that should step in to remove the aged Hungarian from the United States.

The legal basis for removing Soros is quite clear.

The Holtzman Amendment states that "Any alien… under the direction of, or in association with...  (II) any government in any area occupied by the military forces of the Nazi government of Germany, (III) any government established with the assistance or cooperation of the Nazi government of Germany, or (IV) any government which was an ally of the Nazi government of Germany, ordered, incited, assisted, or otherwise participated in the persecution of any person because of race, religion, national origin, or political opinion is inadmissible." It provides grounds for deportation even retroactively........ To Read More....

Survey: Over Half of Swedes Reject Taking More Refugees

Tomlinson, May 15, 2019

A new survey at attitudes towards migration across Europe has found more than half of Swedes say they do not want to see the country take in more refugees, making it one of the most migration-sceptic nations.  Around 8,000 people in Germany, Poland, Spain, Hungary, Italy, Belgium, France and Sweden were asked a series of questions in the survey, including "Do you agree with the statement: ‘My country should not receive more refugees from conflict areas." to which 51 per cent of the Swedish respondents said they agreed, Spanish newspaper El Pais reports.

While both Poland and Italy were tied with 53 per cent saying they agreed with the statement, the Swedish number exceeded that of Hungary, a nation noted for its strong anti-mass migration stance and policies, at 49 per cent.

More than one-third, 35 percent of the respondents across all of the countries surveyed, said that immigration was the most important issue facing the European Union today but only 14 percent said that the European Union had managed to handle the migrant crisis in 2015 and 2016 in a competent manner.

By contrast, 41 percent of Germans say they would welcome more refugees despite being the largest recipient of migrants during the height of the migrant crisis, and the challenges of rising crime, increased spending and lack of both cultural and economic integration..........To Read More....

My Take - Well, it appears in spite of the Swedish government's efforts to hide the real activities of these criminal Muslim wolves they've turned loose in their society people in Sweden are getting it, finally. But if Swedes intend to survive as a culture, they'd better be thinking of deportation, not just stopping immigration of these Muslims from the Middle East and Africa, who have no desire to integrate.  Muslims don't give.  They take.  No matter what the official position is regarding the pillars of Islam, the real pillars are greed, lust, hate and violence.  Jihad is the essence of Islam, and no action, no matter how vile, is condemned in Islam if jihad is the purpose of those vile actions, rape, murder, violence and theft.   

Greed, lust, hate and violence.  We need to get that!

Yes, We Can Deport 12 Million

By Norman Rogers

Every year the 89,000 employees of the Internal Revenue Service attempt to enforce the tax laws for well over 200 million taxpayers. Obviously this is impossible and taxpayers could ignore the law with near impunity. Yet, they don’t. Somehow the IRS persuades the vast majority of the taxpayers to pay up.

If the IRS said that it would be inhumane to prosecute tax scofflaws because they have children that need to eat and that most tax scofflaws are good people who have run into hard times, what would happen? What would happen is that the population of tax scofflaws would explode. The tax scofflaws would become shrouded in moral legitimacy. Any attempt by the IRS to step up enforcement would be seen as brutal oppression against good people.....To Read More.....
