JUST IN: Germany’s intelligence agency warns of a surge in leftwing extremism.


Islamic scholar Mohammad Nusairat in Chicago drops the mask: “We did NOT come here to coexist. We are superior to everyone else and will not be surpassed. No one is above us. If other religions want to live with us, they have to worship Allah”

🔥🚨 JUST IN — The U.S. House has voted 198-224 to BLOCK an attempt to attach the SAVE America Act to the National Defense Authorization Act. The election integrity measure, which includes nationwide voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements, is now viewed as even more critical following recent Supreme Court rulings. Several Republicans opposed the attachment for a variety of reasons, some of which were unrelated to the bill itself.

The President has broad authority under INA § 212(f) to suspend entry of any class of aliens or impose any restrictions he deems appropriate whenever their entry would be detrimental to U.S. interests. The Supreme Court upheld this expansive power in Trump v. Hawaii (2018), confirming the President can decide who enters, on what conditions, and for how long. This includes the ability to require medical testing — such as pregnancy tests for women — as a condition of entry. The statute is not limited to the specific health grounds in INA § 212(a)(1). The President can define classes of aliens (including pregnant women and their spouses/families) whose entry is detrimental, for example due to birthright citizenship, public resource burdens (demonstrated through the % of them on welfare), or sovereignty concerns often described as an "invasion" through anchor babies. More, by applying the requirement to the entire family unit, equal protection issues are avoided. The plenary power over immigration gives wide latitude for such measures. This policy is fully within the President's legal authority under current law and precedent. The question is, since Congress and the @Republicans @HouseGOP and @SenateGOP are fucking USELESS, will @POTUS have the sense and the balls to actually do something?
