California Allegedly Threatens Police
Officers Over Deportation Compliance
Posted By: Harlowe, 11/27/2024 12:02:52 AM
Bill Wells, the mayor of El Cajon, California, claimed in a Monday post on X that the State of California “is threatening to take pensions and charge police officers with felonies if they comply with federal deportation laws. [Snip] Wells makes it clear that El Cajon, a city of approximately 100,000 people located 17 miles east of San Diego, is not a sanctuary city and that his police officers “are being put in an impossible position.” [Snip] If they comply with federal immigration authorities, they risk felony charges and losing their hard-earned pensions. [Snip] No officer should have to choose between doing their duty and jeopardizing their future.

The Fumes of the 2024 Election
3 replies
Three weeks after the election and the fallout from it, we are starting to appreciate the clarity of the vote. It explains much of the present, the past, and the future. Consider the following: 1. Even Donald Trump’s enemies are beginning, albeit sheepishly and begrudgingly, to concede he proved indestructible in a way they never imagined. [Snip]
...there is increased anxiety about the safety of Donald Trump. The post-election Left is so unhinged, so crazy and the Secret Service is so suspect in its incompetence, that the nation is rightly worried about Trump’s security, who is increasingly seen as the last great hope to stop the madness.
The growth of classical education schools is astonishing. The numbers keep rising; there is no sign that the movement is beginning to plateau. Schools open, networks are created, charters are authorized, and kids fill the seats. [Snip] The reason for the loss cannot be ignored; the departure is an indictment of leftist theories of learning. Classical schools treasure precisely what leftist principles reject: old books and Great Books, Western Civilization, memorization, religion, dead languages, high art. [Snip] Every shift of public school children to classical schools erodes the authority of progressive schooling.
This Thanksgiving, Let Us Listen

On Thanksgiving Day in 1944, a young American platoon sergeant named Mac St. Johns led his men on a scouting mission in the French countryside. They were looking for German soldiers known to be in the area. [Snip] But a voice in his head told him not to do so. [Snip] As we celebrate Thanksgiving this year, many of us are also celebrating President Trump’s election victory. [Snip] If we have been given a second chance this year, let us be supremely grateful. Let us be penitent. Let us demonstrate wisdom. [Snip] Above all else: let us be still…and listen.
Russian President Vladimir Putin praised U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday as an experienced and intelligent politician, but said he did not believe Trump was safe after attempts on his life. [Snip] Speaking to reporters in Kazakhstan...said he had been shocked by the way the U.S. election campaign had unfolded. He cited "the absolutely uncivilised methods used to battle against Trump, up to and including an assassination attempt--and more than once". [Snip] ...he had been even more shocked though by how Trump's family and children had been criticised by political opponents during the U.S. election campaign.
Trump and Thanksgiving

We’re always living in history, of course, but there are times when we’re more aware of it than usual. In the years after 9/11...America seemed increasingly adrift. Or, if not adrift, ...of being transported by some ungovernable current... [Snip] The advent of Trump was an eye-opener. [Snip] He was human. He was real. He wasn’t one of the careerist hacks we’d become used to when election time came around. He was a billionaire who’d dipped his toe into these dirty waters because he saw that America was headed in the wrong direction and realized that things were getting too urgent for him not to do anything about it.
EXCLUSIVE: Nearly a dozen of President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet nominees and other appointees tapped for the incoming administration were targeted Tuesday night with "violent, unAmerican threats to their lives and those who live with them," prompting a "swift" law enforcement response, Fox News Digital has learned. The "attacks ranged from bomb threats to ‘swatting," according to Trump-Vance transition spokeswoman and incoming White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt. Sources told Fox News Digital that John Racliffe, the nominee to be CIA director, Pete Hegseth, the nominee for secretary of defense, and Rep. Elise Stefanik, the nominee for UN ambassador, were among those targeted.

Legal Insurrection readers will recall that in my post on the United Nations climate conference in Azerbaijan this week, its president boldly declared that oil and gas were a ‘gift from God’. The eco-activists attending the event were enraged. [Snip] The Czech division of the International Climate Intelligence Group (Clintel) organized a two-day climate conference in Prague on November 12-13, 2024, where climate scientists declared that the “climate emergency” is over. The conference concluded with a communiqué drafted by the participating scientists and researchers that targeted the climate hysteria promoted by the United Nations body, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
A judge has dropped the charges against President-elect Donald Trump in the D.C. case against him, following a request that Special Counsel Jack Smith made on Monday. The decision concerns the investigation into the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol breach. [Snip] "The Government has moved to dismiss the Superseding Indictment without prejudice," U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan wrote in a decision. "Defendant does not oppose the Motion…and the court will grant it." [Snip] Over $100 Million Dollars of Taxpayer Dollars has been wasted in the Democrat Party’s fight against their Political Opponent, ME," Trump posted. "Nothing like this has ever happened in our Country before."
President-elect Trump has rounded out his picks for the top 15 positions within his Cabinet, handpicking an array of establishment and unconventional officials for top posts in just three weeks. Trump has moved at a rapid pace to shape his upcoming administration, which stands in contrast to his first run at the presidency in 2016. The president-elect's picks have diverse ideologies united under Trump's Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement.
There has been a lot of commentary about the abusiveness and unlawfulness of the International Criminal Court issuing arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. [Snip] But the ICC is more than a corrupted institution, it’s a dangerous institution. Not only were its claims substantively contrived, it reached way beyond its jurisdiction, as Israel (like the U.S., China, Russia, India, and others) is not a member. [Snip] If they can issue an arrest warrant for Bibi Netanyahu, they can issue an arrest warrant for an American president.
Two deputies are dead and a third is in critical condition following a "horrific crash" in Florida, authorities said. The incident, which occurred Thursday morning on Southern Boulevard in Palm Beach County, involved three motorcycle deputies with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office who were conducting traffic enforcement at the time, [Snip] One of the deputies had trouble getting his motorcycle started and called the two others over to help him move the bike off the road, [Snip] The deputies were waiting for further assistance on a grassy area off the road when a woman driving eastbound in the center lane tried to pass a vehicle

President Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter despite the White House saying over and over he would not do it.
The pardon includes charges Hunter faced or might have faced from January 1, 2014, through December 1, 2024.
Yes, ten years. Absolute insanity. That means anything else that pops up in that time period doesn’t count. Hunter cannot face any charges. Hunter pleaded guilty to tax evasion. He was going to face sentencing on December 16 for lying on a federal form by saying he was not using drugs or addicted to drugs when trying to buy a gun.
Biden wrote in a press release:
From the day I took
Donald Trump is on course to assemble the richest cabinet in American history, with a number of billionaires sending its total net worth soaring over $9 billion - not even including Elon Musk.
While Musk will serve in an unofficial capacity focused on slashing government waste and therefore will not need Senate approval, those that will are set to break records.
The previous mark was unsurprisingly set by Trump in 2016 when his first cabinet boasted a combined net worth of $6 billion.
Making Greenland Great Again?

It was the summer of 2019 and President Trump was about to embark on a state visit to the tiny Nordic country of Denmark.
Both parties were readying themselves for bilateral talks, but that was before President Trump floated one of his famous spontaneous trial balloons.
Trump said that he had had a conversation with the Danish prime minister, stating that the U.S. might be interested in purchasing the island of Greenland. He said that the concept came up and he said that he would be interested in the purchase from a strategic point of view.
This did not sit well with the Danish prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, who has been described
The bromance between George Clooney and Barack Obama is reportedly on the rocks, with the Hollywood star said to be “furious” with Obama for setting him up as the “patsy” to end President Joe Biden’s career and then absorb the blowback following Kamala Harris’ election defeat. Another unnamed source said: “George feels duped and vows he’s not going to be anyone’s political water boy anymore.” George Clooney emerged as a major player in the 2024 presidential election cycle when he wrote a New York Times op-ed calling for President Joe Biden to give up his re-election bid following his disastrous debate performance in June.
It's not easy being George Clooney these days.
The realization has finally hit him that Obama, his best friend forever, used him for a patsy in the recent election.
First he had him hold a fundraiser for Joe Biden, where he could clearly see Joe's senilkity, and then he had Clooney write the editorial for the New York Times calling on Democrats to get that guy out of there. Now that the electoral disaster has happened for the Democrats as a result, Obama has left Clooney holding the bag.
Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, issued a statement after he received a full and complete pardon from his father, stating that he would “never take the clemency” he received “for granted.”
In a post on X, Matt Viser, a White House reporter with the Washington Post revealed that the younger Biden had issued a statement that he had “admitted and taken responsibility” for his mistakes “during the darkest days” of his addiction. Hunter Biden added in his statement that he would “devote the life” he had rebuilt to helping others who were “still sick and suffering.”
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is kissing up to President-elect Donald Trump, trying to worm his way into the MAGA sphere and pretend he is enthusiastic for reform. But as a victim of devastating Facebook censorship warned, Zuckerberg is not to be trusted, especially since he has yet to apologize to and restore the data for multiple users whose lives were transformed by online censorship. When Zuckerberg issued a semi-apologetic letter and made a phone call to Trump over the summer, many conservatives, and Donald Trump himself, were delighted. Since then, Facebook censorship — including election-interfering censorship — continued unabated. Like many a careful businessman before him
We always knew Joe Biden would pardon his troubled son Hunter, no matter how many times he promised he wouldn’t.
So it is fitting that one of the final acts of this mendacious president before leaving office was to break yet another promise to the American people.
Thus on Sunday night, the president issued a statement from the White House declaring that he had just signed a “Full and Unconditional Pardon” for Robert Hunter Biden, 54.
The pardon Joe vowed he would never give comes just days before Hunter was due to be sentenced over a felony gun conviction in Delaware in June and California felony tax-
Democrats are looking to the governors of blue states as both a line of defense against the incoming Trump administration and a promising bench for the party in 2028.
Governors are seen as leading the charge of Democratic resistance as the GOP gets ready to take control of Congress and the White House next year: California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office promised to “Trump-proof” state laws, and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has pledged to be a “warrior” against controversial policies.
As we reported, President-elect Donald Trump has now nominated Kash Patel for the spot of FBI Director.
Patel is a big favorite of Trump supporters and it's also going to be hard to argue that he isn't qualified. He's an attorney who has handled many trials, and served as Chief of Staff at the Department of Defense, Deputy Director of National Intelligence, and Senior Director for Counterterrorism at the National Security Council. How do you know it's a good pick? All the right people are upset. They know that Patel is not just going to be a status quo, ordinary Republican, and that he's going to clean things up.

mother-daughter time during a windy beach
walk on Nantucket 13 replies
Jill and Ashley Biden enjoyed a short, windy walk on their private beach on Saturday just hours before the first family departs Nantucket.
The mother and daughter duo have been spending a lot of quality time together during the Thanksgiving holiday, including a shopping spree in the historic downtown.
The duo only spent about 12 minutes outside on Saturday but it was long enough for Ashley to bend down and pick up some items from the beach, most likely the sea shells that are scattered around the island.
George Washington law professor Jonathan Turley has now weighed in on the sweeping pardon that Joe Biden just gave his son on Sunday. It not only covers the crimes for which he was convicted or to which he pled guilty, but it also covers any other possible crimes that may have occurred over 11 years from Jan. 1, 2014, to Dec. 1, 2024. Turley just eviscerated Biden when he was asked about it by Fox News and the "bad precedent" that Biden could be setting. (X Video) Turley pointed out how this brings to mind the actions of Bill Clinton, who pardoned his brother.
