In 1939, the SS St. Louis, a German ocean liner carrying around 900 Jews was turned away by the United States because they didn't have the proper paperwork. They were forced to return to Europe where half the passengers were murdered during the Holocaust. You could say that America was arguing it was full. Last... Continue Reading →
Eat Your Conspiracy
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen testified before the Democrat-controlled House Homeland Security Committee yesterday and insisted that the cages Customs and Border Protection (CBP) used to detain migrant and asylum-seeking kids aren’t really cages. She told Committee Chair Bennie Thompson, "Sir, they are not cages, they are areas of the border facility that... Continue Reading →
Happy New Year, Baby
Out of all the god-awful, horrifying horrible stuff Donald Trump has inflicted upon this nation, and there's been a lot, perhaps his greatest offense has been his administration's treatment of migrant children. Don't get me wrong. The past two years has been one nightmare after stupid racist nightmare, with each new one being worse than... Continue Reading →
A Grim Welcome
For the second time in December, a child has died in Border Patrol custody. For the second time in December, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen deflected blame from her department and placed it on immigrants.

A Gas For Liberty
Donald Trump has now gassed women and children. Sunday, as a group of migrants near the San Ysidro border crossing stormed a fence, Border Patrol agents launched tear gas into Mexico at the migrants. The fumes were carried by the wind to other migrants, some of whom were hundreds of feet away, who were not... Continue Reading →
Trump Toys With The Border
When Trump talks about the "caravan invasion," he's not trying to protect the nation. He's only trying to get you to vote for a Republican. This has nothing to do with border security. This is an election trick. Since Trump and the Republicans don't have any accomplishments to run on, they have to run on... Continue Reading →
Focus On Hate And Fear
Donald Trump is hoping his racist ad accusing Democrats of allowing a Mexican to murder two cops will distract voters from the fact that a Republican president incited a white supremacist to murder eleven American Jews. Trump's main concern with the synagogue murders and the mailing of pipe bombs by a lunatic in a van... Continue Reading →
