[TTP: This isn’t getting much notice in the press, but it is a YUGE win for Trump!]
A federal immigration board said Friday that immigrants who arrived in the United States illegally are ineligible for bond hearings while they challenge deportation proceedings in court.
The decision, rendered by Judge Keith E. Hunsucker at the Board of Immigration Appeals, affirms a previous July order from Todd M. Lyons, acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, who told ICE officers in a memo that such immigrants should be detained “for the duration of their removal proceedings,” which can take months or years.
Lawyers say the policy will apply to millions of immigrants who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border over the past few decades, including under the Biden administration.
President Donald Trump’s greatest achievement within six months was simply ending illegal immigration as we had once known it — without “comprehensive immigration reform” or any other rhetorical trickery.
It remains difficult to find, much less deport, the 10 to 12 million illegal aliens who entered in the last four years.
Those who helped break the law, by design or indifference, now believe it was moral to destroy federal immigration law but immoral to uphold it.
And it is still unclear whether former President Joe Biden’s handlers deliberately sabotaged their own border for political and demographic purposes out of sheer orneriness or utter incompetence.
Many of the left’s cherished totems — massive Green New Deal subsidies, the diversity/equity/inclusion industry, biological males competing in women’s sports, and the USAID revolving door — are either comatose or in their death throes.
The historic drop-off in military recruitment reversed shortly after Trump took office.
Republican voter registration is up, and Democratic registration is down.
Late last week NBC ran a “news” story featuring a dozen disgruntled federal judges whose rulings against various Trump administration policies have been stayed or overturned by the Supreme Court.
These lower court judges, none of whom had the courage to allow NBC to name them in the article, bewailed the failure of SCOTUS to provide sufficient justification for ruling against them.
It’s blindingly obvious, however, that the real issue they are whining about is the Court’s refusal to countenance their usurpation of the President’s Article II powers and frustrate implementation of his agenda.
Upon assuming office, the President signed a number of executive orders involving a variety of issues. Many of these EOs were challenged by lawsuits filed in district courts presided over by activist judges.
Inevitably, these judges issued “universal injunctions” that halted implementation of the EOs nationwide. The administration filed emergency appeals with SCOTUS to ensure these cases received expedited attention.
According to the NBC story, “The Supreme Court has granted Trump administration requests to block lower court rulings in more than 70 percent of cases brought by the administration that were decided via the shadow docket.” [Cue ominous Darth Vader background audio]
The Matterhorn at 14,692 ft in the Swiss Alps is arguably the most famous mountain in the world. By extreme luck, I was able to reach its summit with my guide Alfons Franzen at age 14 (in 1958!). The summit is not a point but a ridge 100 feet or so long and only 2 feet wide, like a knife blade in the sky.
For 500 years, from Ca. 1000 to 1500 AD, the Byzantine Christians on the eastern Mediterranean island of Cyprus labored with love to decorate the interior of their humble churches tucked away in hidden valleys of the Troodos Mountains.
Deep in the African rain forest where the Central African Republic, Cameroun, and the Congo come together, there is a swampy clearing of mineral and salt-rich mud where hundreds of elephants come to soak in the mud to absorb the minerals, turning their skin golden. Other forest animals congregate here as well – buffalo, sitatunga and bongo antelope. In the mountains nearby, there are an uncountable number of gorillas. The clearing is called Dzanga Bai by the native Ba’aka Pygmies who live in small encampments in the forest.
A Kyrghiz eagle-hunter doesn’t hunt for eagles to eat. He hunts with an eagle he has trained from infancy to hunt food for his family.
Female eagles adapt to training the best and are fierce huntresses. Retrieved as a young chick from their mother’s nest when she’s out hunting, it takes one or two years to train them. The eagle the hunter is holding is age six. When they are too old to hunt at around age 20, they are released back into the wild, where they can live free for up to age 50.
That would be among the high rock outcroppings dotting the high grasslands of Kyrghizstan in Central Asia. That’s where the hunter’s assistant (usually his son) climbs up with the eagle gripping his forearm high enough to launch. Upon the hunter waves thee command on horseback, the hood is removed from the eagle’s head so he can see and is released.
? HOLY CRAP! RFK Jr. just absolutely EVISCERATED Democrat Senator Ron Wyden
"Senator, you've sat in that chair for how long? 20, 25 years? While the chronic disease in our children went up to 76%. And you said NOTHING. You never ASKED the question why it's happening!"
“Tomorrow, Thursday (9/04), Kennedy will testify at a hearing of the Senate Finance Committee. We’ll see who’s in Big Pharma’s pockets by those who have a temper tantrum towards him. For all of this shows RFK, Jr. is directly over the right target.”
You just saw above how deep in those pockets Ron Wyden (D-OR) is. Then Kennedy accuses straight to Pocahontas Warren’s face, “You’ve taken $855,000 from pharmaceutical companies, Senator!”
?ROASTED: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. WRECKS Elizabeth Warren!
One after the other, the Committee Dems went wacko on Bobby as Big Pharma had instructed them to do. The result was sound and fury signifying nothing: Kennedy Turns Tables on Democrats in Fiery Hearing. The beatdown went on for three hours. At the end, The Dems demanded he resign. Bobby just laughed at them.
Get ready – frankly, this is an amazing HFR. Let’s go!
One of dozens of patriot protests across Australia yesterday (8/31)
[This Monday’s Archive was originally published on March 10, 2006. For context, log on to @elonmusk to learn what Britain’s Labor Government under Keir Starmer is doing to protect Moslem rape gangs and mass Moslem illegal migration, and on to @MarchFor Australia to see hundreds of thousands of Aussie patriots in every major city protest yesterday (8/31) what the Aussie Labor Government under Anthony Albanese is doing to promote mass Moslem immigration and smear anyone who disagrees as “racist” – just as does Starmer. Given this, I thought it timely to know about Voltaire and Mohammed.]
TTP March 10, 2006
This Monday (3/6), the Wall Street Journal had a front page article about Moslems rioting in France over the staging of a play in a small village in the French Alps called Saint-Genis-Pouilly. The play was written in 1741 by Voltaire (1694-1778), and hasn't been staged for centuries. The title of the play is Mahomet, which is an older way to spell Mohammed.
The article provided very little information about the play's content. The author of the WSJ article clearly did not see the performance himself. An internet search turns up a French edition of the play but none in English. It's far out of print, so to actually read the play, you'd have to go a large public or university library.
It just so happens, however, that I have the English translation of the complete works of Voltaire - all 42 volumes - in my personal library. So I immediately sat down and read the entire play. It is a drop dead, stone cold, mind blow. It is fantastic. And it couldn't be more perfectly written for our day than if Voltaire was a clairvoyant.
This is Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, radical left woke gay Satanist with his “husband,” who is the now-former CDC (Centers for Disease Control) official leading Big Pharma’s War on MAHA, RFK2 in particular.
Big Pharma is by far the largest and most powerful lobbying power on Capitol Hill. They are organizing an all-out effort to pressure Kennedy to resign. Any politician you see calling for his resignation, like Chuck Schumer and Bernie Sanders, is on their payroll. It’s because they are terrified he will expose their corruption.
RFK Jr. is busy disinfecting our health bureaucracy from its capture by the agricultural-medical-pharmaceutical complex. CDC officials are adopting the Rosie O’Donnell self-deportation option to protest Kennedy’s actions. Exhibit A is Dr. Demetre Daskalakis (pronouns: he/him/his)’s resignation letter, proudly posted to X.
Right, a guy who calls pregnant women “pregnant people” – meaning he’s a medical doctor claiming that men can get pregnant – says Kennedy is intentionally trying to harm us. Vaccine manufacturers previously held a monopoly on that vice.
Yesterday (9/03) in Washington DC, the lawyer for Epstein’s victims, Brad Edwards, when asked by a reporter about Epstein’s “list” replied with the victims behind him nodding in agreement, “there’s not a list.”
Democrats and liberal media have relentlessly politicized the Jeffrey Epstein case because they are more interested in trying to spin it as a Donald Trump scandal than in seeking justice for Epstein’s victims.
This political exploitation is glaringly obvious, given the Democrats’ own silence when they controlled Congress and the White House; they never released the Epstein files they claim are under wraps to protect Trump.
Despite repeated and wild insinuations, there has never been any credible evidence tying Trump to Epstein’s horrific abuses. The whole spectacle has become less about victims and more about Dem “Get Trump” political grandstanding.
If you ask a liberal how things are going right now in the United States, bring a helmet and pads, because violence is likely to ensue. Donald Trump has broken these people, and the damage may be long-lasting.
Like the nuclear facility in Fordow, Trump’s 2024 win was a political bunker buster that obliterated liberal America. They’ve become more insane, more unhinged, and more susceptible to defending atrociously unpopular public policy stances: they’re fighting to keep violent illegal aliens from being deported.
Still, this just-released (8/28) Gallup poll about satisfaction with the state of the country is peak comedy.
Almost weekly in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France, Germany, and Sweden a sensational assault committed by an illegal migrant -- often enjoying some sort of state support or with prior arrests for the same crime -- surfaces.
Until recently, European politicians and the media sought to either ignore such news or accuse those who clamored for tighter borders, more police protection, and stiffer penalties of being "racists" or "xenophobes."
Until recently, that is.
Mass protests are now common in Britain against the Labour Party's open borders policies and generous welfare entitlements for immigrants who arrive illegally and without authentic "political refugee" status.
Greek officials, also swamped by illegal immigration, now cite President Donald Trump's secure border policies as new models for their own.
The majority of European immigrants now come from majority-Muslim countries in the Middle East and North Africa. Yet many arrivals seem angrier at their newfound liberal hosts than at the dictatorships they fled back home.
Europe's immigration policies will not work in a multi-ethnic democracy.
