  1. Want to know the difference between legal immigrants and illegal aliens?
    STUNNING! 94% of Immigrants in US Federal Prisons, Over 35,000 Individuals, Are Criminal Illegal Aliens
    http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2018/04/stunning-94-of-immigrants-in-us-federal-prisons-over-35000-individuals-are-criminal-illegal-aliens-video/
    My only quarrel with that headline is I won’t call illegal aliens “immigrants.” However, the point is cogent. Of the non-native born in federal prisons, and they are there for violent crimes, 6% came here legally and 94% came here illegally. And the Democrats and msm try to pretend there is no difference between them — “what difference does a piece of paper make?” Oh about a 1 to 48 ratio in violent crimes.
    Let me break that down. The ratio of legal to illegal immigrants in federal prisons is about 1 to 16. But there are 37M legal immigrants, and at most 12.5M illegal immigrants (an estimate made by FAIR, a self described national progressive media watch group). That is about a 3 to 1 ratio. So a group with 1/3 the people ends up in federal prisons 16 times as much.
    As a legal immigrant myself from long ago, (and long since naturalized), I strenuously protest being confused with those who came here illegally. There is a simple reason for that 1 to 48 ratio. One group is so law abiding that it goes through years and years of red tapes and consulate visits to acquire the legal status, whereas the other group flouts U.S. laws from the get go. They are basically two very different kinds of people.

    We can’t go from one province to another with alcohol. We can’t send oil
    across provincial borders. But illegal migrants can cross our national borders
    without problem. And we’re busy signing free trade agreements with the whole
    world. What’s wrong with this picture?

    “Jews Flee France”

    “Today, France is the only country in the Western world where Jews are murdered simply for being Jews.

    Jews may be the main victims, but they are not the only ones. In just five years, 250 people in France have been murdered by Islamic terrorists.

    The main problem is the spread of hatred against Jews, France and the Western world. Many Muslim extremists incite murder; and more and more often, murders occur.

    A year ago, in Paris, on April 4, 2017, Sarah Halimi, an elderly Jewish retired physician, was horribly tortured and murdered in her home in Paris, then thrown from her window by a man shouting “Allahu Akbar” (“Allah is the greatest”) . She had reported to the police several times that she was the victim of anti-Semitic threats — in vain.

    Less than a year later in Paris, another elderly — and disabled — Jew, Mireille Knoll, was raped, tortured and murdered in her apartment by another Muslim extremist. Mrs. Knoll, a Holocaust survivor, had also contacted the police to say that she had been threatened. Again, the police did nothing.

    For months, the French justice system tried to cover-up the anti-Semitic nature of Sarah Halimi’s murder; the judge in charge of Mireille Knoll’s case at least recognized the anti-Semitic nature of her murder at once.”

    “Canada’s Economic Growth Projections Downgraded”

    “Our growth will be far lower than in the United States.

    Policies have consequences.

    If one country cuts taxes, reduces regulations, and encourages the development of natural resources, it will start to grow faster.

    If another country increases taxes, fails to develop resources, and imposes onerous regulations on businesses, then growth will slow.

    And that’s exactly what’s happening.

    The IMF has downgraded their projections for Canada’s economic growth in 2018 and 2019 from the already low level of 2.3%, to 2.1% this year, and 2.0% in 2019.”

    “Israel’s First 70 Years Have Surprised the World

    In November 1947, one day prior to the expected United Nations vote on partitioning Palestine into Jewish and Arab states, the CIA urged President Harry Truman not to throw his weight behind the idea. America would have to defend the new Jewish state when it faltered, the CIA’s secret memorandum warned, adding that “the Jews will be able to hold out no longer than two years.”

    Several months later, David Ben-Gurion was about to declare the establishment of the State of Israel. Seated among the dozen or so men who would determine the fate of the state-to-be, he famously turned to one of his top military commanders, Yigael Yadin, and asked him if he thought a new Jewish state would survive the military onslaught that the Arabs would inevitably launch. Yadin, who would later serve as chief of staff of the Israeli Defense Forces, replied that he thought the Jewish state would have a 50-50 chance.

    Today, those bleak assessments feel like ancient history. As the modern Israeli state celebrates 70 years, the prevailing sentiment is one of extraordinary accomplishment. American Jewish leaders were incensed in 1948 when Ben-Gurion came to the U.S. and spoke about the fledgling state as the new center of the Jewish world; today, that status is nowhere in doubt.

    In 1948, there were some 650,000 Jews in Israel, who represented about 5 percent of the world’s Jews. Today, Israel’s Jewish population has grown ten-fold and stands at about 6.8 million people. Some 43 percent of the world’s Jews live in Israel; this population overtook American Jews several years ago and is now the world’s largest Jewish community.”

    1. I walk around campus with a ‘I support Israel’ tag on my gym bag.
      I have been weight lifting for >40 years and it shows.
      any time I get a comment on the tag (which consists of the Star of David) I tell them Israel reminds me of myself:
      ‘I used to get beat up a lot but now I carry a couple nukes with me and now it doesn’t happen’.

      this place is swarming with muslims by they way.

    “Wounded tigers

    Robert Kagan told a Washington Post reporter that the liberal world order was in trouble “because the jungle is starting to grow back”. He described, with a sense of poignant loss, the magnificent edifice that the Deplorables had by inattention let the seeds of nationalism overgrow. But perhaps it not the noise of the jungle that is responsible for the present cacophony. At least some of the frenzy rocking the West stems from the efforts of an ideology trying to hold on to its old dominance.

    Wounded tigers can be dangerous. Russia, as former president Obama famously pointed out, was objectively quite weak. But he was wrong to dismiss it as a source of mischief, failing to realize as George Friedman pointed out that “weak powers … need to exaggerate their power”. They, as with wounded tigers can sometimes become more volatile in decline.”
