1…………> Confirm Kavanaugh: WJ

 

Wall Street Journal Editorial Board: Confirm Brett Kavanaugh

“Judge Kavanaugh was right to call the confirmation process a ‘disgrace’ in his passionate self-defense,” The Wall Street Journal editorial board writes. Dr. Christine Blasey Ford’s “allegation should have been vetted privately, in confidence, as she said she would have preferred. Instead of ranking Democrat Dianne Feinstein held it for six weeks, and it was leaked—perhaps to cause precisely such a hearing circus.”

2…………> Trump’s ICE Broom: MA

 

ICE officers arrested 40 criminal aliens and immigration violators throughout the New England region during a 3-day enforcement action from Sept. 20-22.

Some of the cities and towns that ERO deportation officers made arrests in during the operation, were: Bridgeport, Bristol, Danbury, Hartford, and Waterbury, Connecticut; in Boston, Brighton, Chelsea, Lowell, Lynn, Malden, Mattapan, Woburn, Revere, and Somerville, and Quincy, Massachusetts; in Brentwood, Manchester, Nashua, and Northwood, New Hampshire; and in East Providence and Providence, Rhode Island.

Foreign nationals from the following countries were arrested during the operation: Mexico, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, Vietnam, Portugal, Ireland, Brazil, Jamaica, Cuba, Ecuador, among others. Most of the aliens targeted by ERO deportation officers during this operation had prior criminal histories that included convictions for crimes such as: assault, burglary, drug trafficking, possession of narcotics, discharge of a firearm, domestic violence, sexual exploitation of minor ,driving under the influence, fraud, illegal entry, hit and run, larceny, weapons possession, and sex offenses, among other charges.

“This operation has removed many dangerous individuals from the community and will help contribute to the safety and security throughout the entire region,” said Todd M. Lyons, acting field office director, ERO Boston. “Part of the ICE/ERO mission is to make our communities safer places to live in by removing criminals; operations like this do exactly that. I applaud the hard work and sheer determination of the dedicated professionals of ICE ERO Boston who make these vital operations possible.”

Eight of those arrested in this operation illegally re-entered the United States after having been previously deported, which is a felony. Depending on an alien’s criminality, an alien who re-enters the United States after having been previously deported commits a crime punishable by up to 20 years in federal prison, if convicted. Four of those arrested have been presented for federal prosecution for re-entry after deportation so far.

3…………> Trump’s ICE Broom: LA

 

A man with a conviction for attempted murder and a woman who has seven convictions for driving under the influence are among the 150 criminal aliens and immigration violators arrested by ICE officers this week. Approximately 40 percent of those aliens apprehended had previously been released by local law enforcement agencies despite ICE placing a detainer, which asks an arresting agency to notify immigration officers before an alien’s release from custody. Of those arrested in Los Angeles and surrounding areas from Sunday through Tuesday, approximately 90 percent had criminal convictions.

“The state laws preventing ICE from working in the jails is significantly impacting public safety by letting serious repeat offenders back out onto our streets,” said Thomas Giles, Acting Field Office Director for ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Los Angeles.

“Our presence would be focused in the jails, rather than in the streets, and safer for all involved, if ICE could again coordinate transfers of criminal aliens with local jails.”

The operation targeted public safety threats, such as convicted criminal aliens and individuals who have violated the immigration laws of the United States – including those who re-entered the country after being deported and immigration fugitives ordered deported by federal immigration judges. Among those arrested during the operation are: A 36-year old citizen of Mexico apprehended in Huntington Beach, Calif. on Sept. 24, who had been arrested and released by local law enforcement agencies three times this year despite ICE having a detainer lodged. His convictions include attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, failure to register as a sex offender, driving under the influence and possession of a controlled substance.

5…………> Kavanaugh Nomination: The Struggle

 

At a news conference with the president of Chile, President Trump says he’s going to “let the Senate handle” Kavanaugh.

“They’ll make their decision, and they’ve been doing a good job,” he says. When asked about Ford, Trump says he thought her testimony “was very compelling.”

“I thought that Brett’s testimony, likewise, was something that I haven’t seen before, it was incredible, it was an incredible moment I think in the history of our country.”

He reminds reporters that he isn’t up to speed with all the details given his meeting with Chile’s president, but that he wants “it to work out well for the country.”

As for Senators Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins, two possible Republican swing votes? Trump has no message for them. “They have to do what they think is right,” he says. The president ended the Kavanaugh questions by saying he’s going to rely on what the senators want to do. “I’ll be reliant on what Senator Grassley and the group decide to do.”

2………..> Tariff Pain: Donald Trump MD

 

After a nasty exchange of tariff threats worth billions of dollars that finally became a reality, unsettling the markets between China and the US, many companies are starting to evaluate the cost increases, and profit fall due to the new “MAGA” world.

The US also started charging levies on the imports of steel and aluminium from the European Union, Mexico, and Canada and now cars and motorbikes manufacturers seem to have been the most affected so far, with three largest automakers recently warning that changes to trade policies are hurting performance, with Ford, Fiat Chrysler and General Motors lowering profit forecasts for 2018, citing higher steel and aluminum prices caused by new US tariffs.

3…………> CNN Reporters Threatened: The Price Of Arrogance

 

“It all started when Trump got elected. [Stelter and Lemon] don’t even know us. They don’t even know these Americans out here, and they’re calling us racist because we voted for Trump. They started the war. If I see them, I’m going to shoot them. Bye,” an enraged caller identified as “Don from State College, Pennsylvania,” had phoned into a CNN show to express support for Trump’s criticism of the media.

President’s anti-media rhetoric has drawn concern from lawmakers and journalists in newsrooms nationwide, yet the “Deep State” media has not halted the endless attacks on Mr.Trump and his supporters, labelling them as “trash people”, the “deplorable” and more.

4…………> Patriots vs Antifa: Portland

 

When crowds of proto-fascists who came to the town Portland, Oregon and did not hide their intentions to use riot control weapons, flash-bang grenades and chemical irritants against anti-fascist counter-protesters aka Antifa punks, dozens of police officers in full riot gear stood across a closed section of Naito Parkway along the Willamette River, keeping the two sides apart.

Hundreds of members of the “Proud Boys”, a far-right group of self-described “Western chauvinists” dressed in helmets and body armour, joined “Patriot Prayer” and its leader Joey Gibson, with both groups accused of having deep ties to white supremacists, stood against hundreds of counter-protesters belonging to a broad coalition of local anti-fascist, anti-racist and social justice groups.

5…………> My Car, My Only Home: Disguised US Homelessness

 

The number of Americans living in their vehicles due to the jump in the price of housing is sharply on the rise, even though the practice remains illegal in many US states, with the number of people living in campers and vehicles increased an astonishing 46%  over the last year alone.

The rise in people living in their cars is especially pertinent in cities with expensive housing markets, such as Los Angeles, Portland, and San Francisco, according to Sara Rankin, an assistant professor of law at Seattle University and the director of Homeless Rights Advocacy Project.
