DHS asked prosecutors to consider charging sanctuary city leaders

So...if they were going to prosecute this guy for doing his job arresting illegals. 

Would it be too irrational to judge the dirty bastards in San Francisco who purposely released this scumbag back into society

 with 5 deportations and 7 felony convictions only to kill Kate Steinle?

Shouldn't they be held accountable?

The Department of Homeland Security has asked federal prosecutors to examine the possibility of bringing criminal charges against leaders of so-called sanctuary cities, Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen told lawmakers Tuesday. 

"The Department of Justice is reviewing what avenues may be available," Nielsen told the Senate Judiciary Committee. The secretary added that sanctuary policies were "putting my [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] officers at risk."

The Trump administration has vowed to withhold federal money from localities that refuse to give federal immigration authorities access to jails and provide advance notice when someone in the country illegally is about to be released.

Earlier this month, the acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) told Fox News' "Your World with Neil Cavuto" that politicians should be held "personally accountable" for crimes committed by illegal immigrants.

"We've got to start charging some of these politicians with crimes," Tom Homan said in the Jan. 2 appearance.

California recently passed a statewide sanctuary policy that took effect Jan. 1, and cities such as San Francisco, Chicago and Philadelphia have adopted them.

A federal judge has blocked the Justice Department's effort to halt funding to those locations.

Last month, Rep. Todd Rokita, R-Ind., introduced a bill threatening elected officials in sanctuary cities with fines and prison time.

"Politicians don't get to pick and choose what laws to comply with," Rokita told Fox News at the time "Americans are dying because politicians sworn to uphold the law refuse to do so."

Rokita introduced the bill in the wake of the Kate Steinle trial, in which an illegal immigrant who had been deported to Mexico five times was acquitted of murdering Steinle on a San Francisco pier in 2015.

Mainstream media hammers physician over Trump’s health

One thing is undeniable. 
If there was any doubt about media bias the Trump presidency made it abundantly clear what team their playing for. 

Video 389

The MSM threw everything put the kitchen sink at Trump's physician. They were so disheartened to find out Trump is in excellent health and appeared desperate to hear something other than the truth.

These were some of the comments:

"What are you hiding from us?" This was said several times.

"His PSA is low, not high?" You could feel the air going out of their ballon.

On the cognitive test, Trump got a perfect score 30 out of 30.

 It settled over the gaggle of reporters like a wet blanket.

(Oh...shit...so much for the insanity/Alzheimer's "diagnosis")

The best one was when Acosta asked about the shit-hole and the doctor responded. 

"Are you referring to his colonoscopy or Haiti?"






I was waiting for this:

Switzerland bans boiling lobsters alive

What are they going to do put a cop next to the stove?

 

Gotta love this.

"With an experienced chef, using a large, sharp knife, thrust into the right place into the head of the lobster and then cutting down along the midway -- that should kill the lobster very quickly and effectively -- "

I'm sure the lobster is looking forward to that!

(CNN) — Lobsters are a delicious delicacy loved by coastal dwellers across the world -- but is boiling them alive inhumane?

In a new law, the Swiss government has banned the common culinary practice of throwing the crustaceans into boiling water while they are still conscious.

The move is a response to studies that suggest lobsters are sentient with advanced nervous systems that may feel pain.

From March 2018, lobsters being prepared in Switzerland will need to be knocked out before they're put to death, or killed instantly. They'll also get other protections while in transit.

"Live crustaceans, including the lobster, may no longer be transported on ice or in ice water. Aquatic species must always be kept in their natural environment," says the new law, according to Swiss Info. "Crustaceans must now be stunned before they are killed," 

The new edict comes in the wake of a recent Italian law that decreed lobsters can't be kept on ice in restaurant kitchens.

Switzerland's decision is applauded by Professor Robert Elwood, emeritus professor in ecology, evolution, behavior and environmental economics at Queens University, Belfast.

Elwood has conducted a series of experiments that suggest crustaceans are sentient and that boiling them alive is inhumane.

"With the data we know, it is highly likely that the animal will be in pain," he says. "We give protection to birds and mammals, currently we give very little protection to decapod crustaceans -- lobsters and crabs -- and the question comes, why is there this difference?" 

First step

Scientists say lobsters have advanced nervous systems.

Elwood's studies suggest crustaceans will make serious life and death decisions when exposed to pain. In experiments, hermit crabs were quick to abandon a shell if it was exposed to a large electric shock.

"They are really giving up a very valuable resource that means life to them, essentially, in order to escape from the noxious stimulus," explains Elwood.

The scientist says he is pleased governments are considering this data and making changes accordingly.

"It's a positive move, the Swiss are looking at a potential problem and trying to deal with it," he says.

But for Elwood, this is only the first step in addressing this issue.

"I don't know how many lobsters are boiled in Switzerland per year, but it's probably quite a small amount compared with the billions upon billions of crustaceans that are used each year in the human food chain," he says.

Humane solutions

The new Swiss law won't make lobster rolls at thing of the past.

The new law doesn't mean taking lobster off the menu. There are methods of killing them which are considered more humane -- and which Swiss chefs might now adopt.

"With an experienced chef, using a large, sharp knife, thrust into the right place into the head of the lobster and then cutting down along the midway -- that should kill the lobster very quickly and effectively -- and is probably the most humane way in a small operation," suggests Elwood.

Elwood also pinpoints a device called the Crustastun, which destroys the lobster's nervous system.

Elwood hopes to discourage the practice of not only boiling but also dismembering while the animal is alive. "I would question the use of that in a modern society," he says.

Time will tell whether other countries will follow Switzerland's example.

“Shit Hole” and Haiti are synonymous

Haiti is a shit hole pure and simple.

The reason is corruption. 

Just about every president they EVER had was/is a crook.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_in_Haiti

Kind of reads like Jesse Jackson Jr's district in Chicago.

 Mel Reynolds, ex-congressman and jailbird, bids to replace Jesse Jackson Jr.  

 Hurricanes, mudslides, earthquakes, you name it... Haiti has received billions upon billions through the years from the U.S. and other countries and looks like little change has taken place.

Wonder where all the money went?

Type in Port-au-Prince on Bing, click images and tell me you would have the slightest inclination of visiting this fine city? 

Everyone on the planet knows Haiti is a shit hole. Both Democrats and Republicans grasp it. But you can't call it what it is because it's not politically correct. So we're left with a nagging question.

If Haiti's not a shit hole... what is it?
