Heavily-armed men are filmed escorting migrants across the US-Mexico border in Arizona under cover of darkness



Government footage obtained by Fox News showed several men armed with rifles conducting the covert operation near the town of Lukeville, Arizona at 10pm on Saturday night. In the black and white video, a Guatemalan woman and her 8-year-old child can be seen being escorted across the border by the armed smugglers. Four or five men can be made out wearing tactical gear and masks and carrying AK-47s as they take the migrants under a vehicle barrier. After the two successfully cross the border, the men can be seen turning back and leaving. But soon afterwards, the woman and child turned themselves into border agents, who responded to the incursion.

It may soon be a crime in Grand Rapids to call the police on people of color 'participating in life'

In Grand Rapids, Michigan, it may soon no longer be just unfair to call the police on people of color who have done nothing wrong. It may be downright illegal.

The City Commission held a public hearing Tuesday on a proposed human rights ordinance that would make it a criminal misdemeanor to "racially profile people of color for participating in their lives," the city said in a statement.

The charge could result in up to a $500 fine, according to CNN affiliate WOOD.

"I am appalled that I live in a city I grew up in that has to have an ordinance to tell people not to call the police on people because of the color of their skin," said one citizen at the hearing.

This is an excellent move, the UN is an extremely corrupt organization, America should never yield to its hypocrisy...I don't think the UN should have its headquarters on American soil either...

US withdrawal from UN arms trade treaty

President Trump announced Friday that his administration is withdrawing the U.S. signature from the U.N. Arms Trade Treaty, in response to concerns from gun rights activists that it could impinge on Americans’ right to bear arms

“Under my administration we will never surrender American sovereignty to anyone, we will never allow foreign bureaucrats to trample on your Second Amendment freedom and that is why my administration will never ratify the U.N. trade treaty,” Trump told an audience at the National Rifle Association's annual meeting in Indianapolis.

Justice would be for the lady to serve jail time, lose her judgeship, and be disbarred as well. The guy should also serve jail time and lose his job.

Why Trump will win in 2020 and it won't even be close

The 2020 election isn’t going to be close.

The first-quarter gross domestic product growth rate of 3.2 per cent sets up the first reality that will be noted in November 2020 because it telegraphs where the economy will be then: not in recession.

Recessions are charted when GDP growth is negative for two consecutive quarters or more. That can and has occurred in sudden fashion – financial panics don’t send “save the date” cards.

But the economy over which president Donald Trump is presiding is strong and getting stronger.


Innovation is accelerating, not declining. A recession before election day looks less and less likely by the day.

Small wonder then that Trump dominates the GOP with an approval rating above 80 per cent.

Bernie Sanders or Kamala Harris, or former vice president Joe Biden." data-reactid="16">His administration’s deregulatory push is accelerating. More and more rule-of-law judges, disinclined to accept bureaucrats’ excuses for over-regulation, are being confirmed to the bench. Readiness levels in the US military have been renewed. America’s relationship with its strongest ally, Israel, is at its closest in decades. Meanwhile, the Democrats are facing a Hobbesian choice of Bernie Sanders or Kamala Harris, or former vice president Joe Biden.

Sanders and Harris are too far to the left, Sanders by a lot. Biden is far past his best years. The nice folk lower down are looking for other rewards. The nomination going to someone such as Pete Buttigieg, mayor of Indiana’s South Bend, is possible, I suppose, but what happens when the dog chasing the car catches it?

What was an entertaining and amusing aside suddenly becomes a commitment and, with that, well, comes a barrage of attacks. Where Trump deflects incoming with ease, the Democrats scatter, some limping away, some blown out of the picture.

This will come as news to #Resistance liberals, who are certain Trump will lose, because they dislike him so much. They still haven’t figured out that 40 percent of the country love him and at least another 10 percent are very much committed to considering the alternative in comparison to Trump, not reflexively voting against him.

That decile is doing very well in this economy. Unemployment remains incredibly low. The markets are soaring. That’s not a given for the fall of 2020, but better to be soaring than falling 18 months out.

On immigration, border security has always been a legitimate concern (and Immigration and Customs Enforcement a legitimate agency).

People don’t talk much about it as they decline to state anything that will see them labelled racist, but the reality of open borders is understood to be an unqualified disaster by most of the country, and most of the country understands the Democrats to be arguing for a de facto open-border system, if not a de jure one.

Medicare-for-all is a professor Harold Hill production, headed for Iowa as was the Music Man.

There’s not a lot of serious thinking or talking among the Democrats about the People’s Republic of China and the “nine-dash line” in the South China Sea (which many may think is some sort of shorthand for their marks on the debate stage), or Huawei, which is just too complicated to try to debate in five-minute exchanges.

Last week’s message from a booming economy should have rocked the Democratic field. Alas, the party seems collectively intent on poring over the Mueller report yet again in the hope that, somehow, someway, there’s something there.

But the probe is over. No collusion. No obstruction.

Democrats have to campaign on something else besides a great economy, rising values of savings, low unemployment across every demographic, clarity about allies and enemies abroad, and a rebuilding military.

It’s a tough needle to thread, condemning everything about Trump except all that he has accomplished that President Barack Obama couldn’t or wouldn’t.

Julian Assange is jailed for 11 months for skipping bail | Daily Mail Online
WikiLeaks stood impassively with his hands clasped as 50-week sentence was read out in packed courtroom
  • Judge Deborah Taylor rejected calls for leniency based on the seven years Assange had spent in the embassy
  • Defence lawyer had said that his client was forced to act because he feared 'kidnap and torture' in America
  • Letter from Assange apologising 'unreservedly' for skipping bail also did little to sway view of Judge Taylor
  • On Thursday, has hearing about potential extradition to the US for helping Chelsea Manning hack a computer

PIERS MORGAN: I’d rather trust Bernie Madoff with my money than Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez – so why the hell did Chase bank cave to her over their very sensible financial advice?



What’s the point of a bank? To make money, take care of our money and offer us professional guidance on how best to save our money. So it was entirely unsurprising to see Chase, one of America’s largest banks, tweet the following words of advice to its customers this week: ‘You: why is my balance so low. Bank account: make coffee at home. Bank account: eat the food that’s in the fridge. Bank account: you don’t need a cab, it’s only three blocks. You: I guess we’ll never know. Bank account: seriously?’.

It seemed like sensible advice, but provoked the ire of socialist firebrand Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and prompted a very snarky response which went down a storm with her 'woke' followers. Sadly the bank caved to AOC, deleted their tweet and later posted a groveling replacement saying: ‘Our #MondayMotivation is to get better than our #MondayMotivation tweets. Thanks for the feedback, Twitter world.’ Oh please, pass me the vomit-bag!

James won the 20th straight game of Jeopardy. The final clue was ominous as if a harbinger of the near future. It's at the bottom of the article.
'Jeopardy!' contestant ties for the 2nd longest winning streak in the show's history
James Holzhauer won his 20th game of “Jeopardy!” Wednesday, which means he now ties for the second-longest winning streak in the show’s history.

Holzhauer won $101,682, bringing his 20-day total to $1,528,012.

The 34-year-old from Las Vegas now shares the second-longest winning streak title with Julia Collins, who one 20 games in 2014.

Ken Jennings holds the record of the longest streak, which lasted 74 games in 2004, according to the show’s Hall of Fame.

The episode’s final clue came from the King James Bible.

“Of the four riders mentioned in Revelation 6, only this one is explicitly named,” the clue read.

The correct answer: “Who is Death?”
