Ha! Haiti Formally Summons US Official to Come Before Government and Explain “Sh*thole”
Via Billy
Earlier today President Donald Trump asked a group of pro-amnesty
senators why the US should welcome migrants from “sh*tholes” like Haiti
or Central America.
Ouch.
Tonight Haiti formally summoned a US official to come before the government and explain what Trump meant by “sh*thole.”

Trump's DACA deal could flip 4 states to Dems
Via Mike
'Illegal immigrants obtaining voting rights equals checkmate America! They win, we lose'
President Trump has long promised he
will secure the U.S.-Mexico border with a “big beautiful wall,” but a
major bargaining chip in his negotiations possibly could flip four or even five traditionally Republican-leaning states to Democrats in future elections.
Those states are: Texas, Arizona, Florida, Georgia and North Carolina.
Of the five, Texas, with 34 electoral votes, has the most impact on presidential election outcomes. Florida has 29; North Carolina, 15; Georgia, 16; and Arizona, 11. In 2016, Trump won Texas 52.2 percent to Hillary Clinton’s 43.2 percent. His winning margin in Florida was much tighter at 48.6 percent to 47.4 percent. Trump took North Carolina with 49.8 percent to 46.2 percent; Arizona, 48.1 percent to 44.6 percent; and Georgia, 50.4 percent to Clinton’s 45.3 percent.
But political trends in those traditionally Republican-leaning states could see a shift if illegal immigrants known as DREAMers, or illegal immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as minors, are offered amnesty and particularly if they’re eventually given voting rights. Those fives states host large numbers DREAMers, as Fortune magazine reported last January.

Louisiana school board president on teacher arrest: Everyone wants to side with the 'poor little woman'
Via Billy
A Louisiana school board president drew criticism
Wednesday for his response to a video that shows a female teacher being
forcibly removed from a school board meeting after questioning the
school superintendent’s pay raise.
The video shows middle school teacher
Deyshia Hargrave being handcuffed and led out of the building Monday
night. Critics have called out the teacher's removal, saying it was
unnecessary.
“Everybody wants to side on the poor little woman who
got thrown out,” Anthony Fontana, the Vermilion Parish School Board
president, told WAFB in a phone interview. “Well, she made a choice.
She could have walked out and nothing would have happened.”
Fontana said the public’s reaction to the video has been swift.

Russiagate Turns On Its Originators
Russiagate originated in a conspiracy between the military/security complex, the Clinton-controlled Democratic National Committee, and the liberal/progressive/left. The goal of the military/security complex is to protect its out-sized budget and power by preventing President Trump from normalizing relations with Russia. Hillary and the DNC want to explain away their election loss by blaming a Trump/Putin conspiracy to steal the election. The liberal/progressive/left want Trump driven from office.
As the presstitutes are aligned with the military/security complex, Hillary and the DNC, and the liberal/progressive/left, the Russiagate orchestration is a powerful conspiracy against the president of the United States and the “deplorables” who elected him. Nevertheless, the Russiagate Conspiracy has fallen apart and has now been turned against its originators.

Ecuador grants nationality to WikiLeaks founder
Ecuador has granted citizenship to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange after more than five years of living in asylum at the nation’s embassy in London, officials announced Thursday.
Foreign Minister Maria Fernanda Espinosa said officials accepted Assange’s request for naturalization in December, and they continue to look for a long-term resolution to a situation that has vexed officials since 2012.
“What naturalization does is provide the asylum seeker another layer of protection,” Espinosa said.

Twitter Engineer Admits to Banning Accounts that Express Interest in God, Guns, and America
Twitter direct messaging engineer Pranay Singh admitted to mass-banning accounts that express interest in God, guns, and America, during a Project Veritas investigation.
“Just go to a random [Trump] tweet and just look at the followers. They’ll all be like, guns, God, ‘Merica, and with the American flag and the cross,” declared Singh, who was secretly recorded by Project Veritas reporters. “Like, who says that? Who talks like that? It’s for sure a bot.”After being asked whether he could get rid of the accounts, he replied, “Yeah. You just delete them, but, like, the problem is there are hundreds of thousands of them, so you’ve got to, like, write algorithms that do it for you.”

Hannity: Sources Tell Me Comey or McCabe Paid for Anti-Trump Dossier

Fox News host Sean Hannity claims he has sources indicating the dossier used by officials to spy on Donald Trump was paid for either by former FBI Director James Comey or FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.
Either would constitute a legitimate bombshell.
Correspondent Sara Carter reports that the “unverified dossier” was used by the FBI as cause “to gain approval from a secret court to monitor members of Trump’s team.”

Trump administration rolls out guidelines for Medicaid work requirements
Via Billy
The guidelines out this morning would allow states to require that some Medicaid enrollees hold a job, participate in volunteer work, or enroll in classes or work training for a certain number of hours each week. States could choose to include caregiving for a disabled child or elderly adult as meeting the requirement. "This is in response to proposals we are receiving from states. It is entirely optional for states," Seema Verma, administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, said in a phone call with reporters Wednesday. "This is in no way a requirement." The guidance contains numerous exemptions, and states cannot enact programs until they are approved through a waiver by CMS.
Medicaid recipients would not need to abide by the stipulations if they are elderly, disabled, children, or pregnant. It also allows states to determine that specific populations are medically frail, such as providing exemptions for people who are undergoing treatment for an opioid addiction. Ten states — Arizona, Arkansas, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Utah, and Wisconsin — have asked to be allowed to implement the requirement. Verma declined to say which waivers were set to be approved, but did allow that "now that we have taken this big important step, we expect that you will hear from us on waivers in short order."

The number of crimes committed by “foreigners” in Austria
increased to 40 percent of the total in 2016, a new government report
says. Interior Minister Herbert Kickl says a “strict asylum policy” is
needed to tackle the issue.
The Austrian vice chancellor and head of the right-wing populist Freedom Party (FPO), Heinz-Christian Strache, also told journalists following the government meeting that asylum seekers accounted for almost 46 percent of foreign offenders. He described the figure as “significant” and called for a stricter refugee policy.
