“All we ask is to be let alone.”
–Jefferson Davis.
Yesterday The Observations honored President Lincoln. Today’s quote is equal time.
The January jobs report is in. American employers created 130,000 jobs. WINNING!
The Federal Aviation Administration shut down the airspace surrounding El Paso, Texas for 10 days. The reason is that Mexican drug cartels have been launching drones into the United States. The shutdown ended after successful U.S. military operations.
Mexico is not our friend.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit reversed a lower court ruling, permitting the federal government to terminate Temporary Protected Status for aliens from 3 different countries. Because it is temporary.
Senator Lisa Murkowski (R. Ak.) will oppose any efforts to require photo ID or proof of citizenship, in order to vote in elections. Senator Murkowski explained that the effort to introduce more election security undermined our elections’ security. Huh? Long Live The Stupid Party!
New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte (R.) vetoed a bill that would have banned males from women’s locker rooms and restrooms. Long live The Stupid Party!
Representative Ilhan Omar (D. Mn.) called for President Trump’s execution, because that is what they do to pedophiles in Somalia. Sigh. Death to The Evil Party
“It’s a captured internal document of the Muslim Brotherhood detailing its program for the United States, where it says the brothers must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying Western Civilization from within, and sabotaging its miserable house by their own hands and the hands of the believers so that Allah’s religion is victorious over other religions.”
–Robert Spencer of the David Horowitz Freedom Center, testifying before Congress about a document released by the Muslim Brotherhood.
Surely this is not news? Surely no one is surprised? Surely everyone is in agreement that radical Islamism is a danger to the United States? Well, no.
“We’re talking about Sharia Law? I mean, this is not really relevant to this committee and what’s going on in America today. There’s so much we could be dealing with concerning the Constitution and protecting America—white Christian nationalist ideology has been put forward.”
–Representative Steve Cohen (D. Tn.), downplaying Islamism, and insisting that Christianity is the bigger threat to the United States.
Death to The Evil Party.
Representative LaMonica McIver (D. N.J.) is the member of Congress facing criminal charges for assaulting ICE agents at a detention center in New Jersey. On camera. But rather than expelling her from Congress, Representative McIver remains on the job, and the other day she got to question Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons:
MCIVER: Mr. Lyons, do you consider yourself a religious man
LYONS: Yes mam.
MCIVER: Oh, yes. Okay. Well, how do you think judgment day will work for you with so much blood on your hands?
LYONS: I’m not going to entertain that question.
MCIVER: Oh, okay. Of course, not. Do you think you’re going to hell, Mr. Lyons?
LYONS: I’m not going to entertain that.
MCIVER: Of course, not. How many government . . . .
This is a woman who gets a say on our federal government’s laws, operations, and effect on our lives. Sigh. Disgraceful.
Death to The Evil Party.
New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill (D.) just declared “war” on ICE. She signed an executive order purporting to restrict ICE operations in New Jersey (it will not work), and is spending taxpayer dollars to track ICE operations. Shades of John C. Calhoun!
Death to The Evil Party.
Testifying before Congress, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison (D.) said that illegal aliens found within the United States should not be deported. Oh. So, if you break into Keith Ellison’s house, he will arrest you and prosecute you. But if you break into America? Well that is a completely different situation.
Death to The Evil Party.
A federal judge enjoined the enforcement of a California law barring ICE agents from wearing masks during the performance of their duties. As we predicted.
How bad is the California law? An appointee of former President Clinton issued the ruling striking down the law. A Democrat judge struck down a Democrat passed law, signed into law by a Democrat Governor. That is a bad law.
Another federal judge in California ordered the Trump Administration to return several illegal alien families to the United States, at the government’s expense. The families self-deported, but now they have buyer’s remorse, and want to return. And a judge is indulging them! THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE! They were never supposed to be here!
A federal judge in Louisiana ordered 4 criminal illegal aliens who are subject to final deportation orders, released into the United States. All 4 illegal aliens have criminal convictions involving murder, rape, and child sex crimes. The judge is an Obama appointee. Shocking.
Last week, Ronald Hicks was installed as the 11th Archbishop of the Catholic Archdiocese of New York. Comrade Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D. N.Y.) became the 1st New York City Mayor to fail to attend the Archbishop’s installation. What, is it against Islamic law to enter St. Patrick’s Cathedral?
The American Nurses Association called for the abolition of ICE, and urged its members not to render healthcare to ICE agents. This is really sick, demented, and dangerous stuff.
Little Debbie is introducing 2 new treats for your enjoyment this Spring. The company is rolling out Boston Creme Pie and Strawberry Delight cookies. YUM!
Burdell’s is a restaurant in Oakland, California. The restaurant adds a mandatory 20% tip to every check, because of America’s “racist history”. NOTE TO SELF: Do not eat at Burdell’s.
Yeah, right. Like I am going to slow down, much less stop, when going through Oakland. Not going to happen.
Former Detroit Lions defensive lineman Tracy Scoggins has died at age 56. R. I. P.
Geneva Jackson was a life-long Clarke County, Virginia resident. Mrs. Jackson was the 3rd of 10 children. She was a mother, baker, and an active participant in her community. Mrs. Jackson was involved with FISH, American Cancer Society, and most prominently, with the Laurel Center, which assisted and protected abused women and children. Mrs. Jackson also baked the best biscuits, yeast rolls, pound cakes, pies, . . you name it. If you did not get to the Farmers Market early on Saturdays, the ham biscuits would be gone. Thankfully, Mrs. Jackson would cater, and bake for specific, special requests. Every year in recent memory, the Clarke County Farmers Market has held a Geneva Jackson pie baking contest whereby locals have their pies judged by Mrs. Jackson herself. Proceeds from the contest went to benefit the Laurel Center. And numerous local charities would ask her to donate an apple pie to their fundraising auctions. It was not unheard of for Mrs. Jackson’s apple pie to bring in as much as $5,000.00 at charitable auction. Sigh. Sadly for those left behind, Mrs. Jackson has died, at age 92. She was a kind woman who loved God, her family, church, friends, and community. Everyone who knew her is better off for having done so. Good-bye Mrs. Jackson. R. I. P.
