[PrisonPlanet] EU Parliament member Soraya Post has called for political parties that criticize mass immigration to be banned in Sweden.
Post, who is a part of the Feminist Initiative party in Sweden, complains that "the arrival of a very large number of migrants during the migrant crisis" has led to an increase in racism and that not enough is being done "to prevent racist and xenophobic attacks" against Muslims and other minorities.
"Sweden must ban organizations that spread hatred and advocate fascism, nazism and racism," writes Post, before making it clear that she is referring to the Sweden Democrats, which is the country’s largest anti-mass immigration party and has a chance of winning the next election.
The Party, led by Jimmie Åkesson, is polling number one amongst people aged 18-34 and causing deep consternation for both the establishment in Sweden and the European Union.

Well, considering that in many countries in Euroland it is illegal for a devout Catholic to practice medicine and that in the UK you can go to jail for calling someone a Gypsy instead of Romani, this shouldn't surprise anyone.

Congressional lawmakers made a criminal referral Wednesday to the Department of Justice Attorney General Jeff Sessions against former senior-level Obama administration officials, including employees of the FBI connected with the unverified dossier alleging collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, as well as those involved in the warrants used to spy on a former Trump campaign volunteer, this reporter has learned. The lawmakers also made a criminal referral on former Attorney General Loretta Lynch and threats made by her DOJ against the FBI informant, who provided the bureau with information on the Russian nuclear industry and the approval in 2010 to sell roughly 20 percent of American uranium mining assets to Russia.
House Oversight and Government Reform Committee member Rep. Ron DeSantis, R-Florida, along with nine other colleagues sent the letter Wednesday to Sessions and FBI Director Christopher Wray criminally referring former FBI Director James Comey, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe for their involvement in the investigations into President Trump and alleged violations of federal law. FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok and his paramour FBI lawyer Lisa Page, whose anti-Trump text messages obtained by the DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz, were also included in the referral.
"We write to refer the following individuals for investigation of potential violation(s) of federal statutes," states the letter obtained by this reporter. "In doing so, we are especially mindful of the dissimilar degrees of zealousness that has marked the investigations into Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the presidential campaign of Donald Trump, respectively. Because we believe that those in positions of high authority should be treated the same as every other American, we want to be sure that the potential violations of law outlined below are vetted appropriately."

Well, it may be enough to solidify Mr. Trumps base as well as bring some back owing to the seeming unfairness of our Legal System as led by the DOJ. Maybe bring over some Libs as well, i.e. Alan Dershowitz.
Dragging this through, slowly and with great noise, could do a lot in the upcoming elections. Lord knows, the Pubs appear to need it.
[Twitchy] Here’s a little tidbit from yesterday’s Michael Cohen hearing that’s pretty interesting...
According to reports from inside the courtroom, Judge Kimba Wood was ready to allow Michael Cohen to submit the name of his 3rd client ‐ who we now know is Sean Hannity ‐ under seal, but an attorney for CNN and the New York Times convinced her otherwise.

She probably suggested it to them: "OK, 'force' my hand, right?"

Not that there is anything saying the guy did anything for Hannity, anything at all let alone something seedy which is what the left naturally assumes.
This was not urgent enough to publish after 2pm ET, gorb, so I pulled it back for the next day.

[FoxNews] California Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown, during a Tuesday visit to Washington, blamed "low-life politicians" for the backlash over his state's "sanctuary" laws and sparred with President Trump over a push to send National Guard troops to the southern border. Lowlife == People who don't think like me.
He spoke at The National Press Club shortly after officials with the Southern California city of Los Alamitos voted to exempt the city from the state's sanctuary policy on the grounds it is unconstitutional. NPC == Liberal safe space.
But Brown defended the state law, suggesting Republicans are exploiting it for political reasons. Unlike liberals, who would never ever do such a low-life thing.
"The Republican Party has this little, narrow group of ... people that think that somehow they’re going to get elected" on the issue, Brown said of the recently enacted state law that helps protect illegal immigrants from deportation. Then be happy because they'll be out of office soon.
Los Alamitos City councilman Warren Kusumoto provides insight on 'Fox & Friends First.'
The Trump administration in early March also announced a lawsuit challenging the law. And in the ensuing weeks, Orange County and at least nine cities within its boundaries -- including Los Alamitos and Huntington Beach -- have joined the fight.
Elected officials in San Diego County also will meet Tuesday to consider joining the Trump suit.
"It’s an inflammatory football that very low-life politicians are trying to exploit," Brown said of the conservative-led backlash. Low-life? Like name-calling?
He predicted a "wave election" in the fall will give the country "new opportunities to take a different path" and said, "If Trump wants to round them up like some totalitarian, say that, say, ’Ship them out.’" Shh. Never interrupt your enemies when you think they're making a mistake.
Minutes before Brown spoke, Trump blasted the governor for agreeing to send hundreds of National Guard troops to the U.S.-Mexico border but limiting the scope of their duties. Have they been limited to obstructing everyone else yet?
"Looks like Jerry Brown and California are not looking for safety and security along their very porous Border," Trump tweeted. "He cannot come to terms for the National Guard to patrol and protect the Border. The high crime rate will only get higher. Much wanted Wall in San Diego already started!" Maybe build the wall around California?
Brown, when informed by a reporter about the tweet, attempted to downplay the disagreement between the state and the National Guard. I don't think it's the NG that disagrees with Trump.
"I think we’re already coming to terms," said Brown, who added he wants the roughly 200 to 400 Guardsmen he’s sending to focus on human trafficking and gun smuggling, amid Trump and others' concerns about illegal border crossings. "The guards are champing at the bit to get there. ... I am concerned about our borders." Why are they champing at the bit? They should have been there long ago if that's the case.
The flower child 80-year-old governor, who leaves office in January, also argued that critics of the state’s sanctuary policy have exaggerated or at least misinterpreted it, particularly the issue of local officials not being able to inform federal agents when an illegal immigrant is being released from jail. Great! Let's see the long list of the folks who have been reported then.
"There’s nothing that stops local officials from notifying U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement that a jailed person is going to be released," Brown said, who also said the releases are a matter of public record. If they want to keep their pension, that is.
He also dismissed as "outlandish" and "absolutely false" concerns that the law favors illegal immigrants over citizens, in reponse to a question from Fox News' Griff Jenkins. Let us try doing in Mexico what the illegals are actually doing here. Let's see how far we get. And it seems if the laws don't favor illegals, then they are dis-favoring citizens. And our votes. And my entitlements. Which we have to work for. And they don't.
"I’m dealing with a humanitarian crisis," said Brown, who argued the law is intended to protect the hundreds of thousands of people who arrived in California but have lived and worked in the state without problems. Like Kate Steinle's killer.
Still, he argued that "no law is perfect and always subject to change." Especially the laws that are imperfect by design and neglect.
Brown also said he supports comprehensive immigration reform and cast some of the blame on Congress for failing to resolve the issue of what to do with those brought to the United States illegally by their parents. Golly. I have several good ideas. Let me at it.

I think two announcements should be made by Trump:
1.If you are not a citizen and you vote in the next election you will be deported and NEVER be allowed to be a citizen.
2. If you are a business person and hire an illegal immigrant, your business will be taken from you! I have paid taxes and social security all my working life. Why should a dishonest business person’s employees be allowed to compete with me?

[Fox5SanDiego] The county Board of Supervisors Tuesday voted to file a court brief siding with the federal government in its lawsuit against California's so-called sanctuary state law.
With the vote, San Diego County became California's most populous county to rebuke state policies aimed at protect select immigrants from deportation. The sanctuary state law, SB 54, limits cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities.
San Diego County's approach differs from that of the Orange County supervisors, who voted last month to join the suit. Instead, the San Diego County attorney will draft an amicus brief in support of the case, which will allow officials to offer their opinion without actually becoming involved in the courtroom fight.
However, the deadline to file such a brief has passed, meaning the earliest opportunity San Diego County will have to weigh in on the case will be if and when a decision in this case is appealed by the losing party to a higher court. So much for lockstep Blue State. San Diego County: "the 2010 population was 3,095,313.[5] making it California's second-most populous county and the fifth-most populous in the United States." (Wiki)

The federal government should limit cooperation with states that flout federal law.
Which should first and foremost include severing financial cooperation. I'd start with any county or state that got all that nifty SWAT & tactical police gear under the Obama administration & confiscate it.

Yes, folks. There are those of us in this state who are not on board with Moonbeam and his destructive and treasonous policies, who want to continue to be a part of the United States of America.

the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
