Tatiana Laborde, the managing director of SAMU First Response, a relief agency working with the city of Washington to assist the aliens, told The New York Post that they were informed by nonprofit groups on the border that the buses would arrive in D.C. on Saturday instead of New York on Sunday, as initially planned.

This, she believes, was owing to heavy snowfall in the north of the country, which has bought transport to a standstill and left thousands without power.

Madhvi Bahl, an organizer with the Migrant Solidarity Mutual Aid Network, also told The New York Times that the buses were rerouted owing to freezing temperatures and road closures.

It has only been one year since the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.  Whether intended or not it was a pivotal moment in world events.  For the United States to manage such a debacle after years of occupation, the stockpiling of weapons and vehicles and the construction of one of the most capable airbases on earth, was shattering to America’s reputation.  There are stories of our modern weaponry being sold to the highest bidder on the international arms market.  Lots of it.  That debacle alone casts the U. S. in a weak light, and every would-be enemy on earth took note.  

Now every rotten actor is on the rampage.  They probably watched that reprehensible speech last night and gleaned accurately that the president is involved in an emotional war with the country he’s supposed to represent.  The Marines, at ease, were silhouetted at the flanks to tell us what?  That this angry old man can enforce his mental illness with military might?  He’s at war with those ultra-maga people who are a threat to our democracy!  Really?  That’s the problem?

Insanity reigns on television and the internet.  Conventional wisdom says much that’s just not true.  We’ve got agencies, seemingly out of control while they wield anti-American power and then don’t bother to explain themselves.  You wouldn’t understand anyway.

We’re supposed to ignore inconsistencies in logic, and believe the mainstream no matter what.  The people in charge have it all figured out.  Apparently they’re going to wait until after the mid-terms to announce Donald Trump’s indictment.  For three years they’ve made false accusations for which they’ve never apologized and now this? Anchors sneered at “deniers” of all stripes.  Notice how many “deniers” there are?  Years ago the only time you heard the word was in connection with the holocaust  and that came with anti-Semitic baggage.  Let’s just say it carried a mighty negative connotation. 

If you’re a denier, you must be bad, wrong, even evil.  So now we’ve got climate change deniers and election deniers, and probably holocaust deniers!  They’re all bad, all terribly misguided and probably a threat to democracy.  That’s the phrase now, you hear it everywhere sometimes with a lisp.  

It’s official.  If you love the United States and want to salvage our traditions and laws you must be some kind of terrorist, or a denier of some sort.  If you don’t agree with gender transitions, global warming, and Donald Trump being the worst traitor, document mishandling criminal the world has ever seen, you’re a threat to democracy.  He condemned Trump supporters as the greatest national danger.  It took him less than 24 hours to walk it back, and he did.  Too late.  You don’t suppose somebody pointed out the folly of calling half the country a danger to democracy?

The Texas governor, Gregg Abbott is sending busloads of illegal aliens to New York, and now Chicago.  The mayors couldn’t be happier.  Well, maybe they could if they could figure out who’s going to pay for all the hotel rooms and food.  But they’re welcoming, while calling our governor a racist for sending illegals up there.  How dare he?!?  Meanwhile, they’re just happy to have them.  Good.  

Whatever you do, don’t use your head.  That will get you labeled if not banned.  Suddenly you’re an idiot if you don’t buy what the mainstream is selling.  Count me in.  

We can’t believe California, or its governance could get any more ridiculous.  Stand by.  Not only are they outlawing internal combustion cars, but the grid is overloaded.  So, please don’t charge your electric cars between the hours of…  

It’s looking likely that the political power that demands the people of the world worship their false system is probably going to be saving the planet.  If it becomes a global movement, look out.  We’re already being called a bunch of names if we don’t support things we know are condemned in the Word of God.   Already the technology firms do the government’s bidding.  They’ll decide what is and isn’t fit for human consumption.  Never mind that they’ve been wrong on critical subjects.  If something violates the mainstream narrative, it must be racist, homophobic, climate denial or Covid misinformation. We’ve got larger concerns.  We don’t go by their rules.

Some 267,258 illegal aliens were removed from the U.S. in 2019, up from 256,085 in 2018. Some 5,497 known or suspected gang members were among those removed by ICE in the past year.

The ICE report also detailed some of the changing patterns in illegal immigration efforts over the years.

Of those deported, 85,958 of those illegal aliens were deported from within the interior of the U.S. while the more than 181,000 remaining illegal aliens were stopped at the border. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) served as the arresting agency for the majority of those arrests made.

In 2018, CBP made up around 63 percent of the arrests for removal, having apprehended 160,725 of the 256,085 total for that year. In 2019 that number increased to 68 percent of the arrests.

Of those 85,958 illegal aliens removed from the U.S. interior in 2019, more than 75 percent – 64,991 – had criminal convictions. Another 13,498 had pending criminal charges.

In total, between those removed from the interior and those stopped at the border, 173,799 illegal aliens were either had criminal convictions or pending criminal charges, a total of 65 percent.

ICE also reportedly handled removals for 58 known or suspected terrorists (KSTs), up from 45 in 2017 and 42 in 2018.

Ali Caby, also known as “Alex Caby” was among those terrorist suspects in the U.S. who was deported in 2019. Caby, a 41-year-old Iranian, reportedly took part in an effort to aircraft parts and equipment to the Hizballah terrorist organization as well as the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, which the U.S. labeled as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) in April.

Houcine Ghoul, a 45-year-old Tunisian man, was also removed on terror suspicions after an investigation revealed 2014 photos indicating support for ISIS. Ghoul had been in the U.S. since 2001 on an overstayed visa. According to ICE, he remained in the U.S. through a fraudulent marriage.

Yassin Muhiddin Aref, a 38-year-old Iraqi national was also removed following an FBI investigation which began in 2003 after his name reportedly appeared in three different terror group phone records. Aref was subsequently arrested after the FBI determined he had tried to conceal the proceeds of the sale of a surface-to-air-missile expected to be sold to Jaish-E-Mohammed terror group.

After serving a prison sentence since 2007, a judge ordered Aref be deported back to Iraq in October of 2018.

The post ICE deported 267,000 illegal aliens in 2019, including gang members and terrorists first appeared on Garner Ted Armstrong Evangelistic Association.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection said 33,510 people were arrested for border crossing in November, the sixth straight month of decline since May, when 132,000 people — a 13-year high — tried to illegally cross into the U.S. from Mexico, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal.

The majority of migrants detained were families and unaccompanied minors, mostly from Central America and seeking asylum in the U.S. About 9,000 of those arrested in November were families traveling together.

Border crossing arrests typically fall in the winter and pick up in the spring as it gets warmer, but the May-to-November decline this year was still the biggest in “absolute numbers” and second-largest of any six-month period ever by percentage in the last century.

From the last few months of the Obama administration into the first few months of the Trump administration, there was a 76% drop, with a smaller peak of 47,211.

“This is a direct result due to this president’s strategies to address the historic flood of Central Americans, families, illegally crossing the border,” CBP Commissioner Mark Morgan said Monday at a press conference. “The network of initiatives have worked and continues to work.”

According to TWSJ, a migrant shelter in Tuscon, Arizona, has seen its arrivals fall from more than 100 a day to less than 40 a day, while a shelter in McAllen, Texas, that opened for migrants, ended up serving other homeless people in the community because it had so much extra space.

“We had a cold front, we had space to allow the homeless to come in and we opened the doors,” Catholic Charities Executive Director and Sister Norma Pimentel told TWSJ.

A shelter in Tijuana, Mexico, also reported its number of migrants housed has dropped from 170 people over the summer to 98 currently, many of which are awaiting their asylum cases to be resolved by the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) program, which has sent 54,000 migrants back to Mexico since January.

Immigration experts say the MPP, otherwise known as “Remain in Mexico,” is one of the single biggest factors in the decline in border arrests because those arrested know they’ll have to then remain in Mexico for several months while their cases are decided.

The Trump administration also is looking at ending birthright citizenship.

“I think the big factor has been the Trump administration policies,” Migration Policy Institute Director of Research Randy Capps told TWSJ.

Now, the ACLU is also jumping on board with their own coaching. They’re also calling illegal aliens, who have been through the court system and determined to have broken federal immigration law, “refugee families.”

“A new wave of ICE arrests is expected to begin this Sunday in at least 10 cities across the country. We’re fighting back by suing to stop mass deportations of refugee families,” the ACLU sent in a fundraising email Friday. “Know this: We don’t have to open the door if ICE comes knocking. If the agents don’t have a warrant signed by a judge, then we can refuse to let them in. We have the right to remain silent. And we shouldn’t sign anything before speaking to a lawyer.”

“ICE raids are nothing new. But for over two years now, the Trump administration has been terrorizing our communities at a new level – tearing thousands of families apart, spreading fear and hate. If this isn’t the kind of country we want to live in, then we must keep fighting to defend our communities,” the email continues. “The best way to fight back? Know your rights. And help your family, friends, and neighbors to know theirs.”

On Friday morning, President Trump told reporters at the White House he has an obligation to carry out ICE raids against those who have already been told to leave.

“People come into our country illegally.  We’re taking them out legally.  It’s very simple.  It’s not something I like doing, but people have come into our country illegally,” Trump said. “We’re focused on criminals.  We’re focused on — if you look at MS-13 — but when people come into our country, we take those people out and we take them out very legally.  They all have papers.  And it’s a process.  And I have an obligation to do it.  They came in illegally; they go out legally.”

Countless migrants from the Congo and Angola are continuing to pour into San Antonio, Texas as local officials are expressing their concerns over a lack of resources to handle the situation.

A group of about 350 migrants have arrived so far in the Lone Star State, many of whom are saying they traveled by boat from Africa to Ecuador, then headed north through Central America, Mexico and eventually arrived at the U.S. southern border.

Upon their arrival, immigration authorities said members in the group immediately claimed asylum. The migrants were then bused to San Antonio, where they are currently waiting for further assistance from city and state officials to aid them in reaching their primary destination (which is unknown at this time).

Local news outlets are reporting Travis Park Church and the Frank Garrett Multi-Service Center are assisting in housing the African migrants until a more long-term plan can be put in place.

Another 200 to 300 migrants from the region are expected to arrive in the city at any time.

Facebook account ‘The New Revolution II’ posted a message on Sunday giving their take on the situation:

It appears that Congolese migrants fleeing their Ebola-stricken country are being sent to San Antonio, Texas after making their way to the U.S. via Ecuador.

They aren’t ‘asylum seekers’ – they had to pass through multiple countries in which they would have been safe before getting here. This is not how the asylum system is supposed to work.

Their claim about Ebola is not unwarranted.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) currently shows a ‘Level 2’ alert for ‘Ebola in Democratic Republic of the Congo’:

• There is an outbreak of Ebola in the North Kivu (Kivu Nord) and Ituri provinces in the northeastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
• Travelers to this area could be infected with Ebola if they come into contact with an infected person’s blood or other body fluids.
• Travelers should seek medical care immediately if they develop fever, headache, body aches, sore throat, diarrhea, weakness, vomiting, stomach pain, rash, or red eyes during or after travel.
• CDC has provided recommendations to ensure workers with potential occupational exposure to Ebola are healthy when they return to the United States.

Additionally, the World Health Organization (WHO) recently found one in four Congolese Ebola cases “could be going undetected.” Aljazeera reports:

One-quarter of Ebola infections in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo’s latest outbreak of the disease may be going undetected.Michael Ryan, executive director of WHO’s Health Emergencies Programme, said on Thursday the epidemic was “not out of control, but it is certainly not under control,” with insecurity and community mistrust hampering emergency responders’ efforts.“We believe we are probably detecting in excess of 75 percent of cases. We may be missing up to a quarter of cases,” Ryan said at a press conference in the Swiss city of Geneva.“We must get earlier detection of cases, [and] have more exhaustive identification of contacts,” he added.Apparently more than 2,000 cases – including 1,357 deaths – have been recorded since the outbreak first started last August.Main Image Credit: News24, iStock

It’s a rare day when even the mainstream news contains something to celebrate. The re-election of Benjamin Netanyahu as Prime Minister of Israel definitely falls into that category. The previous election saw the former president send his top election consultants to make sure Netanyahu lost. You may recall how awkward the relationship between the Obama administration and Israeli leadership had become. The Iran “deal” was a major complication, as were nearly all of Israel’s policies toward its neighbors.

Recent months have seen all manner of accusations leveled against Prime Minister Netanyahu. American news sources have accused him of accepting gifts from foreigners, and all kinds of corruption in Israel’s domestic affairs. Just over a month ago the primary flagship publications that drive public opinion in the U. S. and around the world carried ominous reports of impending indictments and criminal charges against the Prime Minister. Israelis elected him in spite of all that, and likely plenty else that went on behind the scenes. It’s almost as if a parallel scenario is playing out in that tiny bastion of western civilization in the Middle East, eerily similar to what we’ve seen in American media and agencies of law enforcement. And with nearly identical results!

There is little doubt that EU leadership is severely disappointed with the outcome. For months if not years they’ve bought into the media hyped expectation that both President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu would be defending criminal indictments, ejected from office and staring down the barrel of a lifetime of incarceration. It looks as though the detailed articles derived from anonymous sources; the dark suspicions passionately embraced by most media organizations were all for naught. All their hopes and dreams are collapsing, despite the fact that they’re clinging to the faint possibility that somehow their darkest predictions will yet be born out.

This time last week the recently confirmed attorney general William Barr was one of the most respected legal minds on earth. Since he dared release the results of one of the most intensive investigations of all time he’s called a political hack, doing the bidding of President Trump by everyone who hoped for impeachment and prosecution. That’s what they’ve lined up to say on all the mainstream networks. The man was a straight arrow, beyond any hint of ill repute only a few days ago, now he’s the enemy of every former “intelligence” official demanding our beliefs line up with their false narrative.

Have you noticed that these two and three letter words manage to confound famous people with brilliant minds? First it was that two letter monster “is.” Now we’re subjected to all manner of confusion over the word “spy.” The definition was widely understood without argument last week. Now however, it has connotations that baffle even those in the business. We’ll have to break out the dictionary or thesaurus to find that “secret surveillance” with the use of informants, electronic interception and wiretaps is widely known as “spying.” Meanwhile we’re subjected to expressions of mysterious confusion on the faces of all the usual suspects. They just can’t understand!

The scandal of enormous proportions that broke today revolves around news that the Trump administration considered transporting some of the hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens assailing our borders to those wonderful cities that have warmly embraced sanctuary policies, protecting foreign criminals from detention or deportation by federal immigration agents. On its face, the idea would appear logical. But, no. The mainstream media is beside itself with outrage.

Why wouldn’t those who want open borders be thrilled to have thousands more foreigners in their “sanctuary” cities? They’ve called our President and all of us racist for expecting a secure border. The critics don’t believe in borders. And they love diversity! Why wouldn’t they be thrilled at the prospect of welcoming bus-loads more illegal aliens to enrich their own culture? It looks like the President may be prepared to test the authenticity of their boundless compassion. This should be good.

We’re betting you’re sick to death of the twists and turns of so-called Brexit. British Prime Minister Theresa May is still negotiating with members of Parliament, hoping to forge an outcome they can claim to have fulfilled the results of the referendum. It has been almost three full years since that fateful vote that saw a majority of the British people vote to become sovereign once again. They’re still waiting. It became clear quite some time before that that the EU was heading into serious trouble. Not only do they now have millions of “migrants” in their midst, they’ve got economic troubles that may be insurmountable. Problems that will intensify once Britain finally pulls out, and may prove ruinous if any other member should follow suit.

It’s still an open question as to whether western civilization can survive the onslaught of socialist/communist propaganda and mass migration embraced by many world leaders and nearly all mainstream media, academia and multi-national corporations. But the ongoing battle is a lot more enjoyable than it was just one week ago! Have a great Sabbath,

Mark
