Joe Biden Demands Billions to Fly, Bus More Migrants into U.S. Communities

#1  It appears the locals have taken up a collection to address the issue.

#2  I don’t see a reason to say yes. I do see a reason to hold hearings on all the costs of illegal immigration.

#3  I maybe could be persuaded if he's talking about New York and Chicago.

Why do I think this is not the case?

#1  Nice. Suave and yet blunt. And that 'journalist' thought he'd just get by with liberal keywords and the mention of DJT.

#2  My theory is that Left is for stupid people who like to think they're intellectuals.
Posted by: Grom the Reflective || 10/21/2023 3:01 Comments || Top||

#3  But at their heart they are conscious of being hopelessly inept, incompetent and mediocre as individuals. Which is probably why they have to submit to a group identity and fight for its relevance.

#4  Don't forget the stress of higher education to minds unsuitable for it: it's like trying to teach calculus to a dog - drives it crazy.

If anyone could provide a transcript, I would appreciate it!

Thanks.

#12  Poilievre pointed out that Trudeau had left his job as a drama teacher in mid semester without explanation during a Parliament debate. He is gangster. I am not sure whether he is a real or fake conservative, but he will fight.

#13  I'll tell you one page he took from the Trump play book. He had his own people recording that interview just like when Trump had his own crew on hand for his interview with Leslie Stahl.

How do I know this? Easy. The media folks would never show one of their own being embarrassed that way.

#14  ^ Yeah. Innit funny the FBI doesn't believe in recorded interviews?

#15  #14- 30 yrs with the FBI and never recorded an interview. Impossible to take accurate notes and follow your interview plan and absorb the content.

Jesse Watters: The White House is panicking (video)
[FOX] FOX News host Jesse Watters reacts to President Biden’s handling of the Hamas' terror attack in Israel and his Thursday primetime address on "Jesse Watters Primetime."

JESSE WATTERS: Tonight, the world is on the brink and the White House is panicking because Joe Biden is president. The United States, now sponsoring a double proxy war against the Iranians and the Russians. China is eyeing Taiwan, and North Korean weapons were just discovered in Gaza. The State Department has just issued a worldwide travel warning to all countries.

Judge rules California assault weapons ban is unconstitutional, violates Second Amendment
[NYPOST] Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,’s 33-year-old law banning assault weapons is unconstitutional, violating the right to bear arms, a federal judge declared Thursday.

US District Judge Roger Benitez pointed to the Second Amendment’s right to "keep and bear arms" and the Supreme Court’s 2022 ruling in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen, which established that gun restriction measures must be "consistent with this nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation" in ruling against California’s assault weapons ban.

"Like the Bowie Knife which was commonly carried by citizens and soldiers in the 1800s, ’assault weapons’ are dangerous, but useful," Benitez wrote in his 79-page decision.

"But unlike the Bowie Knife, the United States Supreme Court has said, ’[t]here is a long tradition of widespread lawful gun ownership by private individuals in this country.’"

Benitez argued that the 1989 law, which prohibits the ownership of high-capacity, semi-automatic rifles, such as the AR-15, in the Golden State, creates "the extreme policy that a handful of criminals can dictate the conduct and infringe on the freedom of law-abiding citizens."

"California’s answer to the criminal misuse of a few is to disarm its many good residents. That knee-jerk reaction is constitutionally untenable, just as it was 250 years ago," he added.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta filed a notice of appeal immediately after the San Diego-based judge’s ruling, arguing that the decision is "dangerous and misguided."

"Weapons of war have no place on California’s streets," Bonta said in a statement. "This has been state law in California for decades, and we will continue to fight for our authority to keep our citizens safe from firearms that cause mass casualties."

#3  It goes before a 3-Judge Appeal Ct, then an en banc hearing, then SCOTUS
Posted by: Frank G || 10/21/2023 8:05 Comments || Top||

#4  The 9th Circuit has changed enough that it is no longer as bad as the DC Circuit.
Posted by: Super Hose || 10/21/2023 8:47 Comments || Top||

#5  ^ That ain't saying much but I guess we have to take what we can get. Still holding out for SCOTUS.
Posted by: Abu Uluque || 10/21/2023 13:07 Comments || Top||

#6  If it goes to SCOTUS it will be 5 to 4 to uphold the Judge.
Posted by: Deacon Blues || 10/21/2023 13:19 Comments || Top||

#7  It goes before a 3-Judge Appeal Ct, then an en banc hearing, then SCOTUS

Not likely. With the overturning of the magazine ban by Benitez, the 9th circus went against their rules and traditions and bypassed the en banc hearing straight onto the court docket. Were it will sit until it expires or they get a different Supreme Court.
