WASHINGTON—The Department of Homeland Security is suspending enrollment in Global Entry and other trusted-traveler programs for New York residents in response to the state’s so-called sanctuary policies to safeguard immigrants from deportation, the acting chief of the department said.

The only surprise is it took this long. Do these people understand how this makes them look to the unaffiliated?
It's Trump's fault!
Red-faced Iowa Democrats have zeroed in on a new culprit for the botched caucuses that may cost the Hawkeye State its time-honored role as the kickoff to presidential races. After first blaming an app for the inability to declare Monday night, a problem that still lingers even as frustrated candidates have packed up and moved on to New Hampshire for the nation's first primary, the state party is blaming the president's supporters.
Workers manning the phones in Iowa after the state's disastrous caucus on Monday reportedly claim that President Trump backers flooded the hotline number for precinct chairs that led to even more confusion and disarray.
Technical problems were blamed for an unprecedented delay from the contest. The Iowa Democratic Party (IDP) has faced bipartisan backlash and has seen calls for a change to the entire primary process.
Ken Sagar, a Democratic central committee member in the state, told a conference call Wednesday that on the night of the caucus, Trump backers were calling in to voice their support for the president, Bloomberg reported. Sagar was reportedly one of the people answering the calls.
The report was based on two participants from the conference call that was between IDP staff and the party's governing body. Sagar did not comment for the report. He did not immediately respond to an after-hours email from Fox News. The IDP did not confirm that Trump supporters were to blame when reached by Bloomberg and did not respond to an email from Fox News.

"The View" co-host Meghan McCain downplayed the possibility on Tuesday that President Trump would go off-script during his State of the Union (SOTU) address.
Co-host Joy Behar said she hoped that Trump would "freak out, go off-script and be completely nuts. That's what I'm praying for."
Behar predicted that Trump would get scared with House impeachment managers Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., sitting "right in front" during Trump's speech.
"There's no way this guy knows how to be presidential," Behar said.
"I'm sorry Joy, this is a pipe dream and I love you but this is a pipe dream," she said.

Once again the so called media exposed. Look at this headline on Yahoo News: www.yahoo.com/huffpost/jimmy-kimmel-donald-trump-rush-medal-091100516.htmlPolitics Jimmy Kimmel Shows How Trump's Medal For Rush Limbaugh Is Even Worse Than You ThinkEd Mazza HuffPostFebruary 5, 2020, 1:11 AM PST So we already think the award is bad according to the headline? At what point do they do the right thing and just admit they hate Trump, they hate the GOP and will not ever give either a fair shake? |

Today's Democratic Party is unrecognizable to two-time former Obama National Finance Committee Member Don Peebles.
Appearing on "Fox & Friends" with host Steve Doocy, Peebles said that he was astonished by his party members' behavior at President Trump's State of the Union address.
On Tuesday evening House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., made waves when she unceremoniously tore up her copy of the president's speech at its conclusion. Now, Republicans are calling for ethics charges against her and even her expulsion from office.
"Look, I just don't recognize the Democratic Party right now," Peebles said. "I mean, the party has turned so far-left. Also, to see members of Congress jointly dressing up in white as some form of protest or solidarity at the State of the Union address is astonishing."
Peebles told Doocy he attended his first State of the Union address at age 17 under President Jimmy Carter and that "even then, the Republicans and Democrats respected the president."
In addition, Peebles said that Pelosi's behavior was "unprofessional," "undiplomatic," and "disrespectful" not just to the president but "to the country as a whole."
He said that he believes her conduct makes people call her leadership into question.
"I think the danger is, when you try to hold onto power too long, you start having to compromise your principles and your core values, because, generally, the politics shift," Peeples mused. "And the politics have shifted under her."

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi spent several minutes of her weekly press conference ripping President Trump’s State of the Union address.
Without evidence, Pelosi told reporters Trump looked “a little sedated” as he prepared to deliver remarks to both houses of Congress and the American people.

People are nuts. Some fitness coach dares to mention the health impact of a rapper//singer's body and she gets hammered for it. People Are Furious with Jillian Michaels for Questioning Why People Celebrate Lizzo's Body Michaels criticized Lizzo's weight in an interview on BuzzFeed News' "AM 2 DM." The show's host, Alex Berg, mentioned that Lizzo speaks out about body acceptance, mental health, and empowering women. Jillian Michaels, "AM 2 DM" "[T]here's never a moment when I'm like, 'I'm so glad she's overweight,'" Michaels said. "Why do I even care? Why is it my job to care about her weight?" People on Twitter were quick to respond to Michaels' comments. Here is a picture of the rapper/singer ![]()   I think we’re all owed something for Dan subjecting us to that... |

Sen. Tim Scott from South Carolina recently said the same thing. He also thinks President Trump could get 15% of the black vote right now. If that happens in November, goodnight dems. Blacks will vote for a klan member if he has the letter D next to him. They are a lost cause. Its a little different down here. I know a lot of black folks and I would conservatively say 25% of them are pro Trump. Many of the Black Southern Baptists are conservative...and there’s a lot of them here. I don’t think he will get 25% of the black vote in South Carolina...but I’ll bet he does better than people on MSNBC are expecting. |

Another LEO killed for trying to help a stranded motorists. My guess is the 13% once again. A Florida Highway Patrol trooper was fatally shot Wednesday by a stranded motorist who was then killed by another officer, authorities said. The shooting that killed Trooper Joseph Bullock, 42, happened around 10:15 a.m. near Palm City, located 45 minutes north of West Palm Beach. The 19-year veteran had been with the suspect for several minutes alongside Interstate 95 before the shooting, said Col. Gene Spaulding, the highway patrol commander. One cop dead, another significantly traumatized, and their families destroyed by one idiot...gotta admit I’m happy the bad guy is dead. |

The so called media will never report this:
(CNSNews.com) -- Much of the media attention garnered by the border crisis typically revolves around states that border Mexico like Arizona and Texas. Yet a February report reveals the devastating economic consequences of illegal aliens on taxpayers as far north as Montana.
Illegal aliens cost taxpayers in the ten states with the fewest immigrants around $454 million per year, which works out to a net tax deficit of $4,000 to $6,500 per illegal, according to a report by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR).
“In many ways, the influx of immigrants into less populous areas of the country has an even greater impact on long-time residents than it does in larger and more urban areas,” FAIR President Dan Stein said in the report's news release. “These areas have neither the tax base, nor the economic and social infrastructure to accommodate the needs of the growing numbers of immigrants taking up residence.”
FAIR examined migration to Alaska, Maine, Mississippi, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming in its study and found that 88,000 out of the 415,000 foreign-born residents in these states are illegal aliens, or 21 percent. Around 35,000 others are citizen children of illegal aliens.
“Many local officials tout immigration, including illegal immigration, as a remedy to economic stagnation. However, as this report reveals, the reality is precisely the opposite,” Stein continued. “Illegal immigration, in particular, drives down wages and inhibits job opportunities for legal residents, while bringing more low-skilled, low-wage workers to these states. In turn, this increases costs to state and local governments, and discourages investment by businesses seeking a skilled labor force and lower overhead.”
FAIR notes that 29 sanctuary jurisdictions exist in these 10 states, including the whole state of Vermont.
The report also examined the financial implications of immigrants more generally, noting that more than 50,000 K-12 students in the ten states examined are categorized as having limited English proficiency (LEP). FAIR estimated that taxpayers spend $96 million on the education of these students.
Nationwide, the immigration nonprofit calculated that taxpayers spent $59.8 billion educating LEP students in 2016, up from $51.2 billion in 2010.
Matt O’Brien, director of research at FAIR, expanded on the impact of immigration on Lewiston, Maine, a city the nonprofit honed in on in its analysis, while speaking with CNSNews.com.
Lewiston, which has a population under 40,000, has taken in more than 7,500 migrants during the past decade-and-a-half. Between 2004 and 2017, the percentage of LEP students in the town went from five to 30 percent.
“You’re putting all of the kids that have to go through that school system at a deficit that they have to recover from after they get out of the public school system," O’Brien told CNSNews.com. “Now they have to compete with the massive amount of immigrants...as they’re trying to get entry-level jobs.”
The FAIR report highlighted employers’ preference for hiring foreign-born workers, who demand lower wages, over American citizens.
“This report highlights the fact that the adverse effects of unchecked mass immigration, combined with an immigration selection process that does not choose people based on individual merit, job skills and education, are now being felt in all parts of the country. Americans, in every part of the nation, are being affected by antiquated and unenforced immigration policies, which is why it is at the top of the list of voter concerns heading into the 2020 elections,” Stein concluded in the release.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., apologized on Thursday after a report that six women of color who left her campaign in recent months felt marginalized by the staff, saying she is working to address the concerns but she's "also aware that racism and oppression have left a long legacy."
“I believe these women completely and without reservation, and I apologize that they have had a bad experience on this campaign,” Warren told reporters Thursday in Derry, N.H. “I take personal responsibility for this and I'm working with my team to address these concerns... It is important that we stay vigilant. These women have been courageous to come forward, and again, I apologize.”

Possibly because FAIR was founded by a white supremacist with an obvious anti-Latino and anti-catholic bent, and that racism has continued to this day? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federation_for_American_Immigration_ReformYeah, FAIR is less overt with their racism today than they were 40 ears ago but it still appears to be common within the organization. www.thedailybeast.com/only-latino-employee-resigns-from-anti-immigration-group-over-racial-slursTRO |

Now, they hand selected the ten states which means it is not a random sampling (and therefore less representative of the population) then further admit they didn’t have access to as much data as they would like further reducing the statistical rigor of their report. The report also never discusses margins or error or the statistical uncertainty of their calculations. It also cleverly tries to conflate ALL immigration costs with illegal immigration costs. The report also uses a lot of alarmist language relying on emotion rather than data to make its point. It tries to paint a picture for ten states but after the second page all that is discussed are a few worst case scenarios (which admittedly are not good situations) then tacks on some hyperbolic rhetoric to make it seem like the entire state of North Dakota is as bad as a town in Maine with a small population. The reason the media isn’t reporting on it is because it’s junk, cherry-picked statistics to promote an at best isolationist and at worst racist position on immigration. The document is easy to find on the FAIR website (at least they have that going for them) and I’m refusing to refer to it as a report on principle from here on. TRO |

No doubt this will not stop the DNC
A federal appeals court on Friday unanimously ruled that more than 200 Democratic congressional lawmakers do not have standing to sue President Trump over allegations he violated the Emoluments Clause over foreign payments to his businesses.
“Because we conclude that the Members lack standing, we reverse the district court and remand with instructions to dismiss their complaint,” the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit said in its ruling
The [House] Members can, and likely will, continue to use their weighty voices to make their case to the American people, their colleagues in the Congress and the President himself, all of whom are free to engage that argument as they see fit,” the court continued. “But we will not – indeed we cannot – participate in this debate.”
The court added that “the Constitution permits the Judiciary to speak only in the context of an Article III case or controversy and this lawsuit presents neither.”

President Trump may have finally broken Joy Behar.
"The View" co-host had a weird outburst on Friday when she appeared to violently try to pull out her earpiece, provoking a gasp from the audience.
"I'm crazy today, he's made me crazy this week," she said. "He's winning because I'm getting nuttier and nuttier." The show had just aired a clip from Trump's speech in which he mentioned his "total acquittal" in the impeachment saga.

CHICAGO -- The brutal beating of a 68-year-old man by 11 teens on a passenger train here Monday was captured in a disturbing, graphic video obtained by Fox News.
The Chicago Police Department told Fox News the beating is under investigation, but no one is in custody because the victim “was unable to identify his attacker(s) due to his injuries.” A police source told Fox that the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office “wouldn’t touch” the case if the victim can’t identify those accused or is unable to cooperate.
