1…………> Back To Drawing Board: Shutdown

Following U.S. Congress fiasco following the collapse of the deal on the 700,000 “DACA Dreamer” immigrants caused by the treachery of Democratic Senate minority leader Charles “I cried tears for the Muslims” Schumer,  President Donald Trump indicated that  a resolution “could very well not happen” by a deadline next month.

“We want to make a deal. I think they want to use it for political purposes for elections. I really am not happy with the way it’s going from the standpoint of the Democrats,” Trump said at an event in Virginia with U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials, not missing the opportunity to blame the Democratic lawmakers for the failure to reach an agreement.

 GOP are trying to answer Democrats’ bluff on DACA, but the Democrats look even more willing to allow a shutdown than they were last month. 
 

“What this has become is a very absurd game of chicken,” analysts said

2…………> US Not Alone: Israel Deportations

Despite the fact Israel erected barriers along its border with Egypt, 60,000 migrants managed to slip into the country, out of which 20,000 were sent back. The others were locked up in Holots large detention center in Israel’s remote southern desert, and now authorities have started notifying African asylum seekers that they have two months to leave, an action that have outraged liberal Israelis and international rights groups. 

The “Go Back Carrot” letter is offering a plane ticket and $3,500 (€2,800) to some 15,000 to 20,000 African migrants, mostly single men from Eritrea and Sudan.

They were told to leave had until late March or face jail and eventual forced deportation.

3………..> “Fake News” Pocahontas: Natives

A Cherokee woman criticized Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) for refusing to back down on her claim of Cherokee ancestry, and using it to secure a Harvard University minority female faculty membership, applying for the job as a Native American.

“As a mixed Native woman, I get to relive the stereotypes that Warren perpetuates every day. I’m not ‘part-Cherokee’, I am Cherokee. [We’re] not bit fractions of imagined Indians that used to exist. [Warren should] take responsibility for her false claim. I call her Pocahontas, and that’s an insult to Pocahontas. She’s a hopeless case.” Rebecca Nagle of Oklahoma told Fox News Jesse Watters.

1…………> Our Man Trump: Ratings Up

“Rasmussen just announced that my approval rating jumped to 49%, a far better number than I had in winning the Election, and higher than certain ‘sacred cows’. Other Trump polls are way up also. So why does the media refuse to write this? Oh well, someday!” Trump tweeted in response to a whiff of a fresh political air of a recently released poll that gave him an approval rating of 49% among likely U.S. voters, the highest approval rating Trump has earned since March 7, 2017. Another 49% of respondents disapprove of Trump’s performance, according to Rasmussen.

An NBC/Wall Street Journal “Fake News & Friends” poll from the same time time frame, found that only 36% of registered voters would support Trump for reelection in 2020.

2…………> US Coast Guard:”Good Job”

“The threat of transnational organized crime is a danger no one ship, agency, country or person can address alone. We stand alongside our interagency and international partners resolved in a shared purpose to protect those harmed by these dangerous drugs and bring the criminals who smuggle them to justice,” declared Vice Adm. Fred Midgette, commander, U.S. Coast Guard Pacific Area, as more than 47,000 pounds of cocaine worth over $721 million from the Coast Guard Cutter Stratton were offloaded in San Diego. The drug bundle was seized in 23 separate interdictions in the eastern Pacific Ocean by U.S. and Canadian forces operating in international waters off the coast of Central and South America.

 Former U.S. Senator from Nebraska, 35th governor of Nebraska and Medal of Honor recipient, the Honorable Bob Kerrey will deliver the ceremonies principal address, and Susie Buffett, an Omaha philanthropist and daughter of Warren Buffett, will serve as the sponsor in the commissioning of USS Omaha (LCS 12). In a time-honored Navy tradition, she will give the order to, “man our ship and bring her to life!”
 

The ship is the 11th littoral combat ship to enter the fleet and the sixth of the Independence-variant design. It is the fourth warship named for the Nebraska city. The first ship was a propeller-driven sloop-of-war. The second ship was a light cruiser and the third Omaha was an attack submarine.

 

4…………> A Message Of Peace

Turn of the channel on people who have offended and demeaned the teachings of our beloved Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, also known as Rabbi Emmanuel. Walk away, let them dry on the scorching sun. Listen to the sound of Christus Vincit, a message of peace and hope. 

 

 

5…………> “Obama’s Boys” Down Su-25: Handheld Missile

The Russian MOD has released video of the downing of an Su-25 flying over the Idlib de-escalation zone in Syria after the jet fighter was allegedly shot down by a handheld air-defense missile on February 3.

Following the attack, Russian Air Forces conducted a high-precision missile strike in an area controlled by terrorist group Jabhat Fatah al-Sham [previously known as al-Nusra Front aka “Obama Boys”, a terrorist organization that for years fought against the West shoulder to shoulder with the Islamic State “throat slasher” punks], from where the missile that downed the Su-25 Russian jet fighter was reportedly launched.

1…………> Money Laundering: VA

A former Vienna, Virginia attorney named Raymond Juiwen Ho, 48, was sentenced to 84 months in prison for conspiring to launder over $2 million dollars from the proceeds of smuggling illegal aliens into the United States and trafficking firearms in Africa.

According to the complaint, Ho engaged in a large-scale money laundering scheme that resulted in millions of dollars being moved through bank accounts (some of which were attorney trust accounts) that Ho or his co-conspirators controlled. Specifically, between July and November 2014, Ho participated in a conspiracy in which co-conspirators sent emails from compromised or imitation accounts that duped victims into transferring money to accounts controlled by Ho and others. Ho then laundered these stolen funds, moving them through and to accounts located in the United States and abroad. Ho, who recruited others to aid his laundering activities, laundered over $2 million in unlawfully obtained funds.

4…………> Forgotten Cities: Maya

Researchers using a high-tech laser based LiDAR aerial mapping technique have found 60,000 of previously undetected Mayan houses, buildings, defence fortifications and pyramids in the dense jungle of Guatemala’s Peten region, suggesting that 10 millions people have lived there.

The “archaeological treasure trove” included industrial-sized agricultural fields and irrigation canals, indicating that a massive food production infrastructure was employed by the Maya.

5…………> CA Brooming: ICE

DHS ICE police units raided 77 California businesses in many cities including San Francisco, Sacramento and San Jose, an attack on a “sanctuary state” where law enforcement has been mostly prohibited from working with federal officials seeking to arrest undocumented immigrants.

“The actions taken this week reflect … stepped-up efforts to enforce the laws that prohibit businesses from hiring illegal workers,” with a focus on “protecting jobs for US citizens and others who are lawfully employed,” US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said in a statement.

In 2017, the government carried out 1,360 similar raids and arrested more than 300 people — with businesses paying out over $100 million in restitution and fines, ICE said.
