ICE Throws Down the Gauntlet, Arresting Two Illegal Aliens in a California Courthouse
PJ via Instapundit
ICE agents arrested two illegal aliens in a courthouse in Northern California, defying a state law that says they needed a warrant from a judge to do so.

ICE flouted a new state law that requires the warrant before arresting an illegal on courthouse grounds. After the predictable outcry from courthouse officials and others, ICE calmly gave their rationale.

Los Angeles Times:

    ICE said in a statement that California’s law doesn’t supersede federal law and "will not govern the conduct of federal officers acting pursuant to duly enacted laws passed by Congress that provide the authority to make administrative arrests of removable aliens inside the United States."

    "Our officers will not have their hands tied by sanctuary rules when enforcing immigration laws to remove criminal aliens from our communities," David Jennings, ICE’s field office director in San Francisco, said in the statement.

Schweizer Explains How Bernie Sanders ‘Turned Socialism Into A Profession' That Has Profited His Family
Post News via Gates of Vienna
In a recent discussion with Glenn Beck, bestselling author and investigative journalist Peter Schweizer described democratic socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-VT) successful, decades-long attempt to turn socialism "into a profession" that has ultimately "generated a lot of money" for his family.

Sanders, Beck said on his show Friday, is "the model" every politician "in every corrupt communist country" is seeking to emulate. "Here’s a guy who’s only worked in public service, or as a ’public servant’ ... and yet he’s a millionaire that owns three different houses."

Darth Bolton slams Dems for impeachment malpractice, says his testimony wouldn't have mattered…
[Right Scoop] Bolton spoke last night about impeachment in a bit more of a candid way than he has thus far. Essentially, he slammed the House for making impeachment so partisan that no Republican would vote for it. But in the end, he said his testimony would not have mattered:

NBC NEWS
Former national security adviser John Bolton said Wednesday he was surprised that Senate Republicans rejected his offer to testify in President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial. But he said that even if he had testified, it wouldn’t have changed the outcome of the trial because of how House Democrats handled their investigation.

"I think the House committed impeachment malpractice," Bolton said at an event at Vanderbilt University with Susan Rice, who was national security adviser during the administration of former President Barack Obama. "The process drove Republicans who might have voted for impeachment away" because "it was so partisan," he said.

But, he added, "my testimony would have made no difference to the ultimate outcome."

The way he describes it, I wonder if he wanted Republicans to vote for impeachment.

Former Rep. Katie Hill Says ‘Biphobia’ Caused Her Resignation
[DAILYCALLER] Former Democratic Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, Rep. Katie Nice Boobies! Hill
...Dem representative from California who ran as a bisexual, resingned from Congress when nude pictures of her came to light, along with information that she was being bisexual with one of her aides. Katie appears to be unacquainted with the word shame...
claimed Thursday that "biphobia" played a major role in her resignation from Congress for allegedly violating House ethics rules.

In an interview on Good Morning America with George Stephanopoulos, Hill said that she "made the right call" in stepping down from her position, blaming "biphobic" rhetoric and the "sensationalization" of bisexuality on the end of her career in Congress.

"There’s a fantasy element of it. There’s biphobia that is rampant still, and certainly a misunderstanding of what bisexuality is." (’Misogynistic Culture’: Rep. Katie Hill Calls Her Decision To Resign A ’Double Standard’)

She also blamed misogyny for her resignation, saying that it was because "we haven’t seen as many sex scandals with women."
"I feel so empowered"
Hill resigned from Congress last October days after explicit photos of her with a female campaign staffer were published by the conservative blog RedState, along with allegations of an affair with a male congressional aide. She denied the affair with her aide but admitted to and apologized for having a sexual relationship with the campaign staffer.

The House Ethics Committee
...think of a nudibranch pretending to be a vertebrate...
was investigating the alleged affair with her congressional aide, which would have violated House ethics rules, at the time of Hill’s resignation. Speaker of the House Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi
Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. On-again-off-again Speaker of the House. It's not her fault when they lose, but it's her accomplishment when they win. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace and occasional senior... uhhh... moments...
also said at the time that Hill made "some errors in judgment that made her continued service as a Member untenable."

The former congresswoman also told Stephanopoulos that she contemplated suicide over the scandal but was stopped by the support of her family and maiden of tender yearss looking up to her.

"Of all the girls and young women that looked up to me... if the ultimate outcome was that this destroyed me and I did away with himself then what does that tell them? That couldn’t be my final story."

Ilhan Omar DID marry her brother and said she would 'do what she had to do to get him "papers" to keep him in U.S.', reveals Somali community leader
[Daily Mail] What's the Somali word for WH0RE?
    * Ilhan Omar told friends years ago that the man who went on to become her second husband was in fact her brother, DailyMail.com can confirm

    * Abdihakim Osman is the first person to go on record to speak of how Omar said she wanted to get her brother papers so he could stay in the United States

    * It has long been rumored that Omar and Ahmed Elmi are siblings, but because of a lack of paperwork in war-torn Somalia, proof has never been uncovered

    * Osman said: 'She said she needed to get papers for her brother to go to school. We all thought she was just getting papers to allow him to stay in this country'

    * Omar was married to her second husband Elmi in 2009 by a Christian minister - although she is Muslim

    * She was first married to Ahmed Hirsi in 2002 in a Muslim ceremony, before they split in 2008 - but she later had another child with Hirsi while legally wed to Elmi

    * Osman said: 'When [Hirsi] and Ilhan got married, a lot of people were invited. It was a big Islamic wedding uniting two large clans in the community'

    * He added: 'When she married Elmi, no one even knew about it... No one knew there had been a wedding until the media turned up the certificate years later'

Her spokesman told DailyMail.com that Omar, 37, does not comment on her family or personal life.

'The Congresswoman is focused on the work her constituents sent her to Washington to accomplish,' he said.

Omar married her first husband Hirsi in 2002 in a Muslim ceremony that, like many in the immigrant community, was not registered with the state.

Their first child Isra was born the following year and a second followed.

But in the late 2000s Elmi appeared in Minneapolis, said Osman, who referred to Hirsi by his nickname 'Southside' throughout the interview.

'People began noticing that Ilhan and Southside (Hirsi) were often with a very effeminate young guy,' Osman said, who spoke in Somali through an interpreter.

'He was very feminine in the way he dressed ‐ he would wear light lipstick and pink clothes and very, very, short shorts in the summer. People started whispering about him.

'[Hirsi] and Ilhan both told me it was Ilhan's brother and he had been living in London but he was mixing with what were seen as bad influences that the family did not like.

'So they sent him to Minneapolis as ''rehab''.'

Osman, who runs a popular Facebook blog called Xerta Shekh, which comments on Somali issues, said that Omar kept her marriage to Elmi quiet, with no one from the Somali community invited to the wedding.

He explained: 'When [Hirsi] and Ilhan got married, a lot of people were invited. It was a big Islamic wedding uniting two large clans in the Minneapolis community.

'I would say there were 100-150 people there.'

But, he said: 'When she married Elmi, no one even knew about it.'

Osman said at the time Hirsi was better known than Omar among Somalis. 'He was a footballer, he promoted a lot of Somali shows, he was very popular.

'So the scandal was about [Hirsi's] brother-in-law more than Ilhan's brother.'

It has long been rumored that Omar and Elmi are brother and sister.

But because of a lack of paperwork in war-torn Somalia where they were both born, positive proof of their relationship has never been uncovered.

#2  You could pay a few dozen somalis to come forward and claim she married them too. At least until their very own imaams and somalis in Minnesota begin to hate her, and the somali word for WHORE becomes Ilhan.

#3  What's the Somali word for WH0RE? That would be "Omar".

"Some people did some things and I did my gay brother for fun and (prophet)." Omar sounds like is fun for the whole inbred Somali family. How about looking into Omar’s brother. If she nefariously kept him in the country, deport him too.

This racist Jew hating anti-Christian muslim is complaining about anti-muslim Christians? And I'm not just referring to Osama Bin Obama.

Omar was also on the defensive when reports surfaced that she also married two of her dad's goats.

Joe Biden Says Kids ‘Hide Under Desks’ Because ‘Guns’
[BREITBART] During his closing statement at the February 19, 2020, Democrat debate in Las Vegas, Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...Failed seeker of the Democratic presidential nomination on multiple occasions, vice president under Barack Obama, giving it a last try in his dotage for 2020...
suggested kids "hide under desks" and run evasively in corridors because of "guns."
Sissies. When I was a kid, we hid under our desks because of nuclear weapons.
Biden said:

I’ve been knocked down a whole hell of a lot. I know what it’s like to get knocked down, but I know you have to get back up. We have to provide some safety and security for the American people. Right here in Nevada, the sight of the most significant mass murder in American history. Guns. Our kids are getting sent to school having to hide under desks, learning how to run down corridors to keep from getting shot. It’s immoral. I’m the only one who beat the NRA nationally, and I beat them twice.

Earlier in the debate, Biden doubled down on his push to open up gun manufacturers to lawsuits and hold them liable for the criminal use of their products.

NBC News reported him gesturing toward Sen. Bernie Sanders
...The only first openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords. He ran for the 2016 nomination for president, to be cheated out of it by Hillary Clinton, then went back to being a socialist, waiting for 2020 to roll around...
and saying, "The only companies we can’t go after are gun companies because of my buddy here."

Warren scalps Bloomberg while he's down
[Politico] Bloomberg stumbled badly under the barrage of criticism from Warren and others on stage.

Elizabeth Warren spent Wednesday night pummeling Mike Bloomberg on the debate stage. On Thursday morning, she swung even harder.

The Massachusetts senator expanded on her criticism of the billionaire former New York mayor, driving home her attacks on his past comments about women, record on law enforcement and his request that other candidates step aside so that he can take on Donald Trump in November.
