Trump crackdown on sanctuary cities permanently blocked by federal judge By Lukas Mikelionis | Fox News
The latest decision is in line with the argument Orrick made in April that temporarily halted the administration’s attempt to crack down on sanctuary cities, prompting an appeal.
Trump has campaigned on ending sanctuary cities. He issued an executive order that called on cutting federal funds from cities as a penalty for shielding illegal immigrants.
"The District Court exceeded its authority today when it barred the President from instructing his cabinet members to enforce existing law," a Department of Justice spokesman said in a statement. "The Justice Department will vindicate the President's lawful authority to direct the executive branch."

A federal judge in California on Monday permanently blocked President Trump’s executive order to withhold federal funding from sanctuary cities that do not cooperate with U.S. immigration authorities.
U.S. District Court Judge William Orrick ruled that the White House does not have the authority to impose new conditions on spending already approved by Congress.
“The Counties have demonstrated that the Executive Order has caused and will cause them constitutional injuries by violating the separation of powers doctrine and depriving them of their Tenth and Fifth Amendment rights,” the judge wrote in his order.The latest decision is in line with the argument Orrick made in April that temporarily halted the administration’s attempt to crack down on sanctuary cities, prompting an appeal.

You Won't Believe Who The Liberal Media Compared Trump To TODAY 11/21/2017 Source: AAN by: Remington Strelivo
White House (Public Domain)
Infamous mass murderer Charles Manson died yesterday, and Newsweek wasted no time comparing the psychopathic killer to President Donald Trump.
In an article published by the failing newsmagazine, titled, “How Murderer Charles Manson and Donald Trump Used Language to Gain Followers,” columnist Melissa Matthews draws comparisons between the evil cult leader and the president.
“Manson orchestrated the brutal deaths of actress Sharon Tate and six other innocent people in the 1960s, which leave many wondering how he convinced followers, made up of a former Sunday school teacher, a church choir singer and a one-time homecoming princess, into committing such brutal acts,” Matthews wrote.
She continued: “According to psychoanalyst Mark Smaller, past president of the American Psychoanalytic Association, part of Manson’s power lay in the type of language he used. Notably, Manson was able to speak in a way that engaged those who felt marginalized or alienated.”
Though she added that her source, Smaller does not believe there’s any comparison between Trump and Manson, Matthews attempts to make one anyway:
“Smaller is clear that he does not believe President Donald Trump is similar to the convicted killer, or that their followers have any shared beliefs or characteristics, but he did say we can look to the current president to see how language is used to form a bond with followers,” she continued.
“‘Our current president speaks in an emotional or effective way to large numbers of people in our country who feel a kind of alienation or disconnection from the government,’ [Smaller] said. ‘They feel very responded to and become his political base.’”
“According to the psychoanalyst, cult followers like those in the Manson family are so seduced by feelings of acceptance and understanding that they accept their leaders’ ideologies regardless of how destructive or dangerous they may be. ‘It’s not even the content of what that charismatic leader says,’ [Smaller] said. ‘He or she is able to do it in an emotional way.’”
Matthews relied on another psychiatrist – Dr. Carrie Barron of Columbia University – to connect Smaller’s analysis to Trump.
Matthews wrote: “‘There’s a very distorted dark side of empathy,’ [Barron] said. ‘You can use empathy to get inside another person and manipulate. You know the inner workings of another person. You’re able to perceive that without thinking about it.’
“For example, manipulators might connect to their followers by holding their hands while speaking or looking them in the eyes.”
“But while it’s clear that manipulators, like cult leaders, prey on people using language, Barron said there’s usually a combination of factors that make them successful. And she warns that many times the perpetrators appear more vulnerable than they really are, though there’s still a lot that we don’t know about these types of people, according to Barron.”

Soros, Pelosi headline hush-hush 'Resistance'
conference in California
Fox News
Business magnate George Soros arrives to speak at the Open Russia Club in London, June 20, 2016. (Reuters)
Liberal billionaire George Soros and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi were listed as the main attractions Friday at a California gathering of the anti-Trump elite.
The four-day event in Carlsbad, titled “Beyond #Resistance: Reclaiming our Progressive Future,” asked that guests refrain from contacting the media or posting to social media, the agenda shows.
Other speakers appearing in person or via video were expected to include U.S. Sens. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., and Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn.; U.S. Rep. Ben Ray Lujan, D-Minn.; and Democrats Gov. Tom Wolf of Pennsylvania and governor-elect Ralph Northam of Virginia.The conference, which began Wednesday and runs through Saturday at La Costa Resort, was organized by the Democracy Alliance, a network of liberal donors, the Washington Free Beacon reported.
The purpose “is to generate support for Alliance Partner Organizations and engage in diverging perspectives connected to shaping political and policy transformation in America,” the report said.
Soros made headlines in October when he transferred $18 billion -- or "the bulk of his wealth" -- into his activist charity arm, making the philanthropic organization second only to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in U.S. assets.
So how could these remarks be interpreted ? Couldn't this mean more trouble for him ?

“To those of you who were digging my political grave so you could jump into my seat, I know who you are and I won’t forget you,” the senior senator said outside of Newark federal court on Thursday.
“I’ve made my share of mistakes but my mistakes were never a crime,” he said.
Menendez made the comments after Newark federal judge William Walls declared a mistrial because the jury said it remained hopelessly deadlocked following four days of deliberations.
“I find you are unable to reach a verdict and that further deliberations are futile,” Judge William Walls said shortly before 1 pm on Thursday. “There is no alternative but to declare a mistrial,” he said before dismissing the jurors after more than two

The Japanese ship reportedly lost propulsion.
ABC News reported:
A U.S. warship collided with a Japanese commercial tug boat in Japan’s Sagami Bay on Saturday, marking the fifth time this year that a ship in the U.S. Navy’s 7th Fleet in the Pacific has been involved in a crash. The Japanese tug boat lost propulsion and drifted into the USS Benfold during a towing exercise. The U.S. guided-missile destroyer sustained minimal damage, and there were no reported injuries on either vessel, according to a press release from the U.S. Navy’s 7th Fleet.
The USS Benfold, which is awaiting a full damage assessment, remains at sea under its own power. The incident will be investigated, the 7th Fleet said.
A senate investigation in 2012 found over one million counterfeit parts used in the US military.

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand Says Bill Clinton Should’ve Resigned Over Lewinsky Scandal By Carla Herreria
The New York Democrat said the former president would’ve had to step down if the revelations occurred today.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) said that President Bill Clinton should have resigned from the Oval Office after news broke of his infamous affair with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
In an interview with The New York Times, Gillibrand said that Clinton stepping down after the scandal was made public would have been “the appropriate response.”
Gillibrand, who fervently supported Hillary Clinton during her 2016 campaign for the presidency, added that the standard for behavior has changed since her husband’s presidential term ended in 2001.
“Things have changed today, and I think under those circumstances there should be a very different reaction,” she said, apparently nodding to the watershed conversation happening nationally in the U.S. on powerful men and sexual abuse.
“And I think in light of this conversation, we should have a very different conversation about President Trump, and a very different conversation about allegations against him.”
Gillibrand’s spokesman later clarified to the Times that the senator was trying to express that if the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal had happened now, Bill Clinton would’ve felt more pressure to resign.
Gillibrand has publicly expressed her admiration of the Clintons in the past.
In an essay published on Medium in 2016, she endorsed Hillary Clinton’s Democratic presidential bid. In the essay, she wrote adoringly of Hillary Clinton, who mentored Gillibrand during her own run for office and said she was “truly honored” that Bill Clinton had campaigned for her congressional run in 2006.
As senator, her government website reads, Gillibrand is “leading the fight to reform the justice system for sexual assault survivors in the military and on college campuses.”
On Wednesday, Gillibrand co-sponsored a bill, known as the “Me Too” Act, with Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) to make the process of reporting sexual harassment by lawmakers and staffers easier. The bill, which gained bipartisan support, is a part of Speier’s efforts to address the issue of sexual harassment and abuse within Congress.
Gillibrand has also publicly denounced Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.), who was recently accused of groping and kissing broadcaster Leeann Tweeden without consent during a USO tour in 2006.
There has been an outpouring of sexual abuse or harassment accusations against men in powerful positions since The New York Times and The New Yorker published explosive reports last month on film mogul Harvey Weinstein’s alleged history of sexual abuse and manipulation.
Accusations have since stretched across industries to include political circles, with Senate nominee Roy Moore of Alabama also at the center of sexual misconduct allegations.
U.S. Navy pilot draws obscene pictures over Washington state

A U.S. Navy pilot drew obscene pictures in the sky over Washington state on Thursday, CBS affiliate KREM-TV reports.
Viewers contacted the station after watching a plane draw what appeared to be crude depictions of a penis in the sky in Okanogan County, which borders Canada. The station posted pictures of the drawings on its website. (Warning: Some viewers may find the pictures offensive.)
A mother in Okanogan, Washington, told the station she was upset because she might have to explain the drawings to her kids.
The Navy told the station that the aircraft involved was based at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island off the Washington coast. The air station's website describes it as the "premier naval aviation installation in the Pacific Northwest."

"The Navy holds its aircrew to the highest standards and we find this absolutely unacceptable, of zero training value and we are holding the crew accountable," the Navy said.
An FAA official told the station there was nothing the agency could do about the incident because it "cannot police morality."

Muslim Athlete Disrespecting Anthem Pays BIG TIME 11/17/2017 Source: AAN by: Remington Strelivo
A Muslim college student has been kicked off Kansas's Garden City Community College basketball team – for disrespecting the National Anthem.
Rasool Samir, 19, refused to leave the court during the National Anthem, which was a team rule, during a game on November 1. He continued to practice shooting baskets as "The Star-Spangled Banner" played.
The day after his dismissal, Samir apologized for what happened, saying he did not "mean any disrespect at all to the fans or the flag at last night's game. I am truly sorry to anyone that felt disrespected, and I am also sorry to the school. I apologize for what happened."
Samir has since filed a complaint with the American Civil Liberties Union, claiming that the college violated his First Amendment rights.
The ACLU sent a letter to Garden City Community College, demanding that they give detailed answers about why Samir lost his spot on the team, arguing that, because Garden City is a public school, it must honor Samir's First Amendment rights.
The ACLU cited Samir's religion claiming, "he refrained from participating in the anthem because he is a Muslim and his faith prohibits acts of reverence to anything but God." Their representatives also asserted that the school had stifled freedom of speech, arguing that Samir was forced to engage in "a kind of compelled patriotic salute" to play sports.

Fox News host tore into Sessions in private meeting with Trump: report By John Bowden - 11/14/17
During a private meeting with President Trump, Fox News host Jeanine Pirro reportedly tore into Attorney General Jeff Sessions for his refusal thus far to appoint a special prosecutor to probe former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton over the Uranium One deal.
The New York Times reported Tuesday that Pirro met with Trump early this month, during which she “excoriated” the attorney general for not investigating Clinton, Trump’s Democratic opponent in the 2016 presidential race.
The report follows weeks of critical coverage on Pirro’s show, “Justice with Judge Jeanine,” and elsewhere on Fox, of the 2016 deal that allowed a Russian nuclear agency to purchase Uranium One, a Canadian company that owns access to uranium in the U.S.
Clinton ran the State Department under former President Obama when the deal was approved by the interagency Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States.

REVEALED: Paul Ryan blocking vote on National Concealed Carry Reciprocity By D.E
Go HERE right now to sign the petition to tell Speaker Ryan to drop his anti-gun schemes and pass National Concealed Carry Reciprocity.
President Trump is waiting at his desk to sign National Concealed Carry Reciprocity
Half of the U.S. House has co-sponsored National Concealed Carry Reciprocity.
So why hasn’t there been a vote on it?
A D.C. insider reveals that Speaker Paul Ryan, hoping to placate the anti-gun media, demanded Republicans agree to pass anti-gun laws in exchange for passing National Concealed Carry Reciprocity. After the June 14, 2017, Alexandria attack. Ryan told Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) that “he didn’t think the time was right” for legislation revolving around reciprocity.
It’s apparently because of H.R. 2909, the D.C. Personal Protection Reciprocity Act. Seems Ryan only wants security-protected people like him to have guns – oh, and the criminals! He’s conveniently ignoring the fact that Rep. Scales would have stood a chance if he had been allowed to carry in D.C. where he was headed after his baseball practice in Virginia, which allows concealed carry.
If it’s true that Ryan is blocking this vote: that’s betrayal.
If you want to stop violence, pass National Concealed Carry Reciprocity. States that adopted concealed carry have seen their crime rates drop faster than states that didn’t.If National Concealed Carry Reciprocity, it could likely pass the Senate even with Democrats holding enough seats to filibuster. Many of those Democrats are in pro-gun “red” states, and Democrat leaders are willing to cave on this one issue if it means helping keep the seat in Democrat hands.
Our friends at American Liberty PAC are leading the charge for National Concealed Carry Reciprocity.
