“The question that seems to be at the nub of what many of my colleagues are asking about is can and should we rule that simply not counting illegal aliens because they’re undocumented, that that is a violation of the statute and the Constitution?” Justice Sonia Sotomayor asked Dale Ho, an attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union who argued against the Trump plan. “Is that enough relief to you?”

What is MALDEF?

“We’re going to take over all the political institutions in California. In five years the Hispanics are going to be the majority population of this state.” Caller: “You also made the statement that California is going to become a Hispanic state and if anyone doesn’t like it they should leave – did you say that?” Obledo: “I did. They ought to go back to Europe.” Here.

Alejandro Mayorkas: Biden’s pick for secretary of Homeland Security – Fox five news, Atlanta.

Here is a story from Atlanta TV station, Fox Five Atlanta, found on Google alerts (we don’t watch TV news, ever) about Biden’s pick – Alejandro Mayorkus – to lead U.S.C.I.S. It was “reported from Los Angeles” with the Associated Press as contributor.

Being quite familiar with the mindlessness of the left and the dishonesty of the MSM, we assume that neither the Biden gang or the reporters involved ( forgive the repetition) are even aware of the idiocy of claiming new thinking and “unchanged habits” in selecting Mayorkas, who is a retread from the Obama administration. New thinking, indeed.

“But they also reflect the idea that we cannot meet the profound challenges of this new moment with old thinking and unchanged habits — or without diversity of background and perspective. It’s why I’ve selected them.”

Mayorkas, for his part, is already familiar with the inner workings of the Department of Homeland Security —an experience that he will call upon in his new role in an agency where he served during the Obama administration.

Career background:

Mayorkas’ experience in law enforcement has spanned three decades. He served as the deputy secretary for Homeland Security during the Obama administration from 2013 to 2016.

“New thinking”, indeed.

The liberal and often wildly inaccurate AJC crew do not want you to read a coming new conservative website. And they are willing to prove it.

While we know nothing about something called ‘Georgia Star’ (update, Jan 16, 2021 Georgia Star News here) it is apparently heavy on the Atlanta Journal Constitution editor’s minds. They have run two separate hits warning readers against what the AJC calls “really fake news.”

The editors also rely on the fellow travelers at far-left SPLC-like Media Matters to “prove” their allegation of wrong thought and the admonition to dismiss what ever you may read in a news outlet that isn’t even open yet. “So before you “like,” “subscribe,” or “forward,” a story you just can’t believe, consider the source” say the keepers of the new truth at the AJC.

The first warning we noted came in the daily “Jolt” section of the AJC’s Political Insider gossip column/blog.

Known for inaccurate, outlandish and false claims on pending state legislation and pro-enforcement immigration activists (that go without correction) the liberal AJC explains that “we fully expect outlandish claims, false accusations, and dirty tricks between now and January 5th.” You can see that here from November 10, 2020 (scroll down.)

Kevin Riley, Editor in Chief, AJC.

The AJC gang must really be worried. There is yet another item on Georgia Star – again leaning on the rabid lefties at Media matters – in the Sunday, Nov. 15 edition under a heading called “Follow up.” This page complied by a Jim Denery. I didn’t take the time to find it online, but here is a photo of copy.

Remember, the AJC editors do not want you to read Georgia Star News.

Opinion: Biden isn’t savior of a divided America

The height of hypocrisy is Sleepy Joe Biden calling for unity and asking that every American give him a chance to govern. Really?

The Democrats attacked President Trump relentlessly and viciously for four years. They spied on him and his campaign — and John Durham’s pending investigation should prove it. The Robert Mueller probe spent two years and $35 million accusing Trump of Russian collusion; it was a hoax. They impeached Trump over an innocent phone call; he was exonerated by the U.S. Senate. Biden called Trump a “clown” during the first presidential debate. If that isn’t divisive, what is?

Moreover, the biased media has told more lies and spun more conspiracy theories than they can count. And there’s no accountability except when President Trump refers to this unprincipled mob as “fake news.”

And yet Biden, our next president if the Trump legal challenges are unsuccessful, has the unmitigated gall to say things will be better if he spends the next four years in the Oval Office (highly unlikely given his declining mental acuity and low energy). An embarrassing gaffe machine who hid in his basement during most of the presidential campaign, Biden believes he’s the savior of our divided nation.

Well, check out Biden’s abysmal record:

Biden drafted the 1994 crime bill that incarcerated thousands of Black men. He told Charlamagne tha God, a Black television host, “you ain’t Black” if you don’t vote for me.

Biden watched American manufacturing plants close after supporting bad trade deals with Canada, Mexico, China, Japan and Europe.

Biden proclaimed: “If you elect me, your taxes are going to be raised, not cut.”

Biden promised repeatedly that he’d end fracking and jeopardize our energy independence, then claimed he never made such statements during the second presidential debate.

Biden supports open borders and promises amnesty to 11 million illegal immigrants, who’d compete for jobs with American citizens.

Biden opposes the ridiculous Green New Deal and free everything for all, but he’ll cave to the radical left’s demands once in office.

Biden vowed to be “the most progressive president in history,’ which is really saying something after President Obama.

As Obama’s vice president, Biden was wrong on most every foreign policy decision. Prior to the raid that killed terrorist leader Osama Bin Laden, Biden said: “Mr. President, my suggestion is, don’t go.” Joe opposed the successful Gulf War and supported the one-sided nuclear deal with Iran.

Biden oversaw America’s relationship with Ukraine during the Obama administration. Hunter Biden, Joe’s son, received millions from Barisma Holdings, a corrupt Ukrainian company. Joe threatened to withhold a $1 billion payment to Ukraine. Joe boasted: …. read the rest here.

The decision of the registrars to whom such application is made shall be presumptive evidence of a person’s residence for voting purposes.
