A federal judge who's been a critical ally to the deep state has preemptively blocked the Trump administration from deporting five Venezuelan nationals under the Alien Enemies Act (AEA) of 1978.

US District Judge James Boasberg (more on that below) issued his preemptive ruling a few hours after the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed a motion on the Venezuelans' behalf against Trump's reported plan to invoke the AEA to accelerate the removal of illegals from the US.

The ACLU asked Boasberg to block the use of the law, though Trump has yet to invoke it. Boasberg, of course, complied, granting a restraining order Saturday morning that prevents the administration from removing the five Venezuelan nationals for two weeks so the judge can hold a hearing on their challenge.

In their filing, the ACLU, alongside Democracy Forward and the ACLU of the District of Columbia, stated that the government has moved the Venezuelans - alleged members of Tren De Aragua, to a facility in Texas, which they state are being used "as staging facilities to remove Venezuelan men under the AEA."

Of note, the Trump administration officially declared Tren de Aragua a terrorist organization last month.

If the name Boasberg rings a bell, refresh your memory below...
Boasberg is the judge who was in charge of FISA when it was being used to illegally spy on Trump as part of an operation to overthrow the president. https://t.co/btXKlSfqB6

The ACLU's wish is his command!
At what point does Trump just tells the activist judge class to fuck off. If they wanna enforce their orders, come up and get me.
 
Inspira Health Network in NJ is giving this out to new parents as part of their "required" forms to fill out. They are attempting to state that its required by the state, but no other health care system is sending these notices out.

Just looking at how republicans were president for almost the entire cold war era, its rather telling that it didn't do shit for this country, the march through institutions mainly occurred during that era with the pushback only starting once Clinton got in office.
Funny how making a single issue (anti-communism) your Party's brand for 45 years exposes you as domestic do-nothings when your geopolitical foe implodes.

Domestically (and especially once the evangelicals began to vote), the GOP whined about abortion and "smaller government" while doing bugger all about them. (Although he would never have admitted it, abortion became to Republicans what Rush Limbaugh said other issues were to Democrats, i.e., not a problem to be solved, but a problem to fundraise off of.)

Then the GWOT and interventionism on a retarded scale became the GOP's brand, and to the Establishment Republicans, it still is. Trump’s overturning their nice tea cart has exposed them for what they really are and about whom they really care (hint: it's not about people below the highest ranks of the PMC).

There is no fucking plausible way this isn't some kind of advanced trolling, but I suppose insurance companies force such kind of questions to see which newborn is going to be a liability (healthy) or a cash cow (potential troon/fag)

another thing to point out is how the GOP only won the popular vote twice after the berlin wall fell, they went from winning near every state in the electoral college, to not even winning the popular vote because of how badly they were caught with their pants down once the cold war ended.

by all accounts the GOP was slowly but surely dying until trump came along.
 
After slaying ISIS, apparently the POTUS is going hellfire on the houthis. Open season!

'Hell will rain down upon you,' Trump orders US military to launch 'powerful' action against Houthis in Yemen (A)
US President Donald Trump on Saturday (March 15) wrote on his Truth Social media platform that he has ordered the US military to launch “decisive and powerful Military action” against Houthi rebels in Yemen.

The US president accused the Iranian-backed militia of waging “an unrelenting campaign of piracy, violence, and terrorism against American, and other, ships, aircraft, and drones.”

He also accused his predecessor “weak” Joe Biden of keeping the “unrestrained” Houthis going.


“It has been over a year since a U.S. flagged commercial ship safely sailed through the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, or the Gulf of Aden. The last American Warship to go through the Red Sea, four months ago, was attacked by the Houthis over a dozen times. Funded by Iran, the Houthi thugs have fired missiles at U.S. aircraft, and targeted our Troops and Allies. These relentless assaults have cost the U.S. and World Economy many BILLIONS of Dollars while, at the same time, putting innocent lives at risk,” Trump wrote.

Unfortunately that's what the dems want. They're essentially trying to get Trump into an Andrew Johnson situation, where even though Trump would be completely within his rights as President to do these things, it would still lead to yet another impeachment and despite the last two times going nowhere, congress can't really be trusted to side with Trump and at best it would lead to the dems trying to crash and gridlock everything.

Andrew Johnson was completely within his rights to do what he did but congress was hostile to him and infringed on the power of the Executive branch to try and impeach him. All these judges are making these bullshit rulings right now in an attempt to do the same, they are willingly and knowingly infringing on the power of the Executive branch but know that if Trump does something it will end up looking far worse for him.

I feel bad for Andrew Johnson since despite other things he's probably one of the most wrongly hated Presidents we've had.

Asking for the baby's gender identity isn't nearly as ghoulish as them asking for its sexual orientation a little further down. There really isn't any reconciling the left and right anymore.
