Mexican woman in Texas sentenced to 8 years in prison for voter fraud

Here's a switch.

She's illegal and voted Republican. She actually voted for the guy who prosecuted her!!!

The mere thought you can be here illegally and get a drivers license is just mind
boggling.

In contrast, anyone remember this 'poll worker'? 

She voted for Barry 6 times. She was sentenced to 5 years in prison until a Democratic judge came to her rescue and set her free.

A Mexican citizen living in Texas was sentenced this week to eight years in prison for voting illegally in elections in 2012 and 2014.

Rosa Maria Ortega, 37, was found guilty Wednesday on two counts of illegal voting after she falsely claimed to be a United States citizen and voted at least five times between 2012 and 2014.

A jury sentenced her Thursday to eight years in prison and a $5,000 fine.

The Dallas News reported Ortega voted in the November 2012 election and May 2014 GOP primary runoff in Dallas County.

According to Fox 4 News, Ortega's identity came into question after she tried to register to vote twice in Tarrant County. Both applications were denied.

She had voted in five elections in Dallas before her registration was canceled in April 2015.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton – for whom Ortega voted in 2014 – assisted in the prosecution.

"This case shows how serious Texas is about keeping its elections secure, and the outcome sends a message that violators of the state's election law will be prosecuted to the fullest," he said.

According to the New York Times, Ortega was born in Monterrey, Mexico and brought to the U.S. by her mother as an infant. More than a decade later, her mother was deported and Ortega became a permanent resident.

In her defense, Ortega testified that she didn't understand the differences between the rights granted to citizens and the rights granted to legal residents.

"My mom just used us to get stamps. She never gave us love or guidance. She got deported," she said, according to Fox 4. "All my life since I worked, I always on my knowledge thought I was a U.S. citizen because I never knew the difference of U.S. citizen and U.S. resident. And the point is if I knew, everything would've been the correct way."

(And who paid for those stamps?)

The Dallas News reported that prosecutors showed that Ortega has checked a box on her driver's license form indicating she was not a citizen.

However, the Dallas County election administrator said Ortega had filled out a voter application and checked that she was a citizen in 2015.

Voter fraud became a hot topic after President Trump made an unsubstantiated claim that he would have won the popular vote if millions had not voted illegally.

In addition to the long prison sentence, Ortega is likely to be deported, her lawyer Clark Birdsall said.

"She'll do eight years in a Texas prison," he told the Times. "And then she'll be deported, and wake up blinking and scratching in a country she doesn't know."

Iran tests ballistic missile in defiance of UN resolution, US officials say

Time for Trump to activate that mythical 'snap back' option Barry instituted.  Khamenei stated he wanted to return Barry's $1oo billion ransom money but he was too busy self-inspecting his nuclear sites...



-----------------------------------

Iran conducted its first ballistic missile test under Donald Trump's presidency, in yet another apparent violation of a United Nations resolution, U.S. officials told Fox News on Monday.

The launch occurred Sunday at a well-known test site outside Semnan, about 140 miles east of Tehran, Fox News was first to learn.

The Khorramshahr medium-range ballistic missile flew 600 miles before exploding, in a failed test of a reentry vehicle, officials said. Iran defense minister Brigadier Gen. Hossein Dehqan said in September that Iran would start production of the missile.

U.N. resolution 2231 -- put in place days after the Iran nuclear deal was signed -- calls on the Islamic Republic not to conduct such tests. However, this is at least Iran's second such test since July. The resolution bars Iran from conducting ballistic missile tests for eight years and went into effect July 20, 2015.

Iran is "called upon not to undertake any activity related to ballistic missiles designed to be capable of delivering nuclear weapons, including launches using such ballistic missile technology," according to the text of the resolution.

The landmark nuclear deal between Iran and world powers, however, does not include provisions preventing Iran from conducting ballistic missile tests, and Iran claims the tests are legitimate because they are not designed to carry a nuclear warhead.

President Trump on Sunday spoke with King Salman of Saudi Arabia, a conversation in which the two "agreed on the importance of rigorously enforcing the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action with Iran and of addressing Iran’s destabilizing regional activities," the White House said in a statement.

A ballistic missile launch could potentially fall under "destabilizing regional activities."

The launch also came a day before Jordan’s King Abdullah arrived in Washington for meetings with Vice President Pence and Defense Secretary Mattis.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he would address the Iran issue with Trump when the two leaders meet on Feb. 15.

"I will meet President Trump in Washington soon, and among the issues I will address, is the need to renew the sanctions against Iran," Netanyahu wrote on Facebook on Monday. "Sanctions against the ballistic missiles, and other sanctions against the terror, and re addressing the failed agreement on its nuclear capabilities.

"I know that this bothers not only Israel, and not only the US but other countries in the region. Iran's aggression should not be ignored."

The U.S. intelligence community was able to identify Sunday's launch due to its robust satellite network. The overhead system can detect the heat signature of missile launches and explosions from bombs being dropped around the world.

Last March, Iran sparked international condemnation when it test-fired two ballistic missiles, one emblazoned with the phrase “Israel must be wiped out” in Hebrew.

U.S. Army Gen. Joseph Votel told lawmakers last March the United States should continue to "expose" Iran for the role that the rogue nation plays in the region, including its support for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, responsible for dropping barrel bombs on his own people.

Dehqan said in September that Iran would beef up its defense capabilities by "manufacturing three fundamental products in the area of missile [development] by the end of the year."

"Iran's missile tests are an unacceptable act of aggression-something we have seen occur time and again for the last 18 months," Ambassador Mark D. Wallace, CEO of the non-profit United Against Nuclear Iran, responded.

Here's something which bucks the norm

Poll: Travel ban is one of Trump's most popular executive orders

More popular than previously thought and for the most part neglected by the MSM.

As you're reading this bear in mind Barry ended the wet foot dry foot policy just before he left office.

Obama ends 'wet foot, dry foot' policy for Cubans

He did something that should have been done a long time ago.

Yet, there was barely a peep from the MSM. Now imagine Trump signed an Executive Order ending  wet foot dry foot!

-----------------------------------------------

President Donald Trump's executive order barring refugees and citizens from seven majority-Muslim countries from entering the US is one of his most popular so far, according to a new poll from Morning Consult and Politico.

The order has a 55% approval rating (with 35% saying they "strongly approve") with only 38% of voters polled saying they disapprove of it.

So if Politico says it's 55% it's probably closer to 65.

Opinions about the ban fall along partisan lines — 82% of Republicans support the ban, while 65% of Democrats oppose it.

AOL won't let me download the photos because it pains them to make Trump look good. Try to find these anywhere else on the internet.

You won't.

Go to Bing and type in [Trump supporters]. You'll think you typed in [Trump bashing].

The only other executive order more popular than the travel ban is the one revoking federal funding for so-called immigration sanctuary cities. That order has a 55% approval rating, with only 33% disapproving.

Morning Consult and Politico's poll was conducted between Feb. 2 and Feb. 4.

The seven countries included in Trump's executive order were first flagged by the Obama administration as "countries of particular concern" for visa screening, but critics have accused the Trump administration of targeting Muslims specifically with the travel ban.

Last week, a judge issued a stay on the executive order which suspends its implementation.

While the travel ban seems to be fairly popular, Trump's overall approval rating is slipping — only 47% of those surveyed in this poll said they approve of the job Trump is doing, which is down two points from the previous week. His disapproval rating rose five points to 46%.

They had to get a dig in somewhere.

And not all recent polls have come to the same conclusion. A CNN/ORC poll from last week showed that 53% of Americans oppose the travel ban. The poll prompted Trump to tweet on Monday that "any negative polls are fake news."

Here's how Trump's other executive orders stack up against his travel ban, according to the Morning Consult/Politico poll:

Letter from Osama bin Laden detailing when jihadists should be allowed to masturbate is revealed

Former Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden

A letter from Osama bin Laden detailing when jihadists should be allowed to masturbate has been revealed. 

The Al-Qaeda leader had such a pull on his followers that he was able to dictate when they pleasured themselves. 

In a memo marked top secret, he wrote to one of his trusted aides in North Africa saying that in the extreme conditions of being kept separate from their wives, the terrorists could masturbate. 

It was seized along with 49 other documents by the US in 2011, and now they have been made public by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI). 

In it, the one-time world's most wanted man discussed attacks on America and targeting France should efforts fail against the US. 

But, he also lifts the lid on the sexual activity of his jihadis. 

In the letter, he wrote: 'Another very special and top secret matter - it pertains to the problem of the brothers who are with you in their unfortunate celibacy and lack of availability of wives for them in the conditions that have been imposed on them. 

'We pray to God to release them.

'God is not ashamed of the truth. 

'As we see it, we have no objection to clarifying to the brothers that they may, in such conditions, masturbate, since this is an extreme case.'

Terror wrist! 

The letter sent by Osama bin Laden to his trusted aide in North Africa

The letter goes on to say: 'The ancestors approved this for the community. 

'They advised the young men at the time of the conquest to do so. 

'It has also been prescribed by the legists when needed, and there is no doubt that the brothers are in a state of extreme need.'

(Must have run out of goats)

Although the control Al-Qaeda's top terrorist had on his militants may be shocking, his liberal view on masturbation should come as no surprise.

In 2015, US officials refused to release details on the 'extensive' porn collection found in Osama bin Laden's Pakistani bolt-hole, because of the 'nature' of the smut.

The DNI released a list of books the 9/11 mastermind was reading when he was killed six years ago, as well as a trove of letters he exchanged with family members from the lair.

Osama bin Laden's lair was discovered by the US to have included a huge stash of porn 

While it was widely reported that Navy SEALs recovered a large digital collection of sex videos from the compound when they staged a secret mission to kill bin Laden in 2011, the US government said it was not going to describe or release details on any of the pornographic materials.

'We have no plans to release that at this point in time,' Brian Hale, a spokesman for the DNI, told The Telegraph. 

'Due to the nature of the content the decision was made not to release it.' 

Officials also refused to describe what kind of porn was kept in the bin Laden household.

Just two weeks after bin Laden was shot dead inside his Abbottabad compound, Reuters reported that pornography was recovered from the property. 

At the time, the collection was described as 'fairly extensive,' containing many modern videos.
