The Trump administration gained a rare victory this summer in the most unlikely of venues—the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which is widely viewed as the most liberal federal appeals court.
One big reason: President Donald Trump’s appointments to the 9th Circuit have moved it closer to ideological balance.
The court, long known for being both liberal and among the most overturned circuits, has been a thorn in Trump’s side, ruling against
Cuba has a sad history. It traded a regular dictatorship for a communist dictatorship six decades ago, and the results have been predictably awful.

Cuba has a very sad history. It traded a regular dictatorship for a communist dictatorship six decades ago, and the results have been predictably awful.
Oppression, persecution, rationing, spying, deprivation, and suffering are facts of life.
For a while, it was subsidized by the Soviet Union, but that communist system eventually collapsed. More recently, it’s been subsidized by Venezuela, but now that socialist system also is collapsing.
And this means extra hardship for the people of Cuba.

The Washington Post gave Senator Cory Booker (D., N.J.) four pinocchios for his claim that voter suppression was responsible for Democrats losing Michigan in 2016.
“We lost the state of Michigan because everybody from Republicans to Russians were targeting the suppression of African American voters,” Booker said during the Democratic debate on Wednesday, a claim that the Post says is supported by no evidence. “Election experts say they see little or no evidence that the activities by the Russians and the Trump campaign actually swayed the election in

Democratic presidential candidates like Elizabeth Warren and Cory Booker have made inequality a central issue in the campaign. But their plans for minimum-wage hikes, wealth taxes and income-tax rates of 50% to 70% would restrain the economy and hurt all Americans. At least they have ideas. Republicans seem to have few of their own to boost the wealth of working- and middle-class people, ceding the debate to the Democrats and their ill designs.
Fortunately, a simple solution exists: Help workers become owners and grow their investment income. Mr. Booker was exactly right when he said recently: “A paycheck will help
It’s true: Baltimore ranked No. 9 on Orkin’s list of American cities with the worst rat problems in 2018.
But so is this: Washington, D.C., ranked No. 4.
President Donald Trump’s tweets attacking U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings and calling his 7th District “disgusting, rat and rodent infested” spurred outrage on Twitter. But some observers noted that Baltimore does indeed struggle with rats.
While Baltimore’s rat population seems to have decreased in recent years, experts say the neighborhoods struggling with rodents are often victims of poverty, racist housing policies and problematic urban planning.
The city’s relationship with rats was the subject of Baltimore filmmaker Theo Anthony’s 2017 documentary “Rat Film.”
A federal judge ordered the deportation Monday of a Mexican national living in Laredo, Texas, under the DACA program, according to U.S. attorney Ryan K. Patrick.
U.S. District Judge Diana Saldana revoked Jose Yepez-Vega’s status as a recipient of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program and orderedhis deportation, KVEO reports. Prior to the arrest, Yepez-Vega, 22, had lived in Laredo since the age of 16.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been a disaster for New York and the United States as a whole. Her hateful rhetoric against the men and women of ICE directly led to an attack on an ICE detention center in Washington, and her hairbrained policies such as the Green New Deal would lead to the collapse of our country if ever enacted.
It’s no surprise, then, that many voters (and Democrat ones at that) have been quick to rally behind Scherie Murray – the woman who is looking to challenge Ocasio-Cortez in the 2020 election.
Scherie Murray has all of the qualities to present a real challenge to Ocasio-Cortez. She’s a black female immigrant, which automatically takes all of Ocasio-Cortez’s identity politics cards
For a normal American, “Aliens vs. Predators” is a movie.
For the Democrats, it’s their two most important constituencies.
All the Democratic Party’s campaign promises are about rewarding illegal aliens… and the mainstream media ignores that a huge chunk of their funding comes from accused sex criminals — including pedophilia, human trafficking, and sick sex games that ended in a few deaths.
Here are three of the top accused predators doling out cash to the Left.
