ICE be upon him: Immigration judge rules that Trump may deport the leader of a large mosque due to national security concerns.

The U.S. can deport the leader of a large mosque in Wisconsin on the grounds that he is a threat to national security, an immigration judge ruled on Wednesday.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents detained Salah Sarsour, an outspoken supporter of Palestine, in March. Sarsour alleged the federal government was targeting him for speaking out against Israel and advocating for Palestinian rights. In June, a federal judge agreed and ordered Sarsour released, the Associated Press reported.

Sasour was born in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and was imprisoned in Israel in 1988 after confessing to throwing a Molotov cocktail and stones at Israeli military personnel. He was also convicted in 1995 of attempting to possess weapons.

He denies committing the crimes, and his attorneys allege he was tortured into confessing to them.

Government attorneys argue that Sarsour's convictions in Israel, along with allegations he lied on his green card application, make him a threat to national security.

Florida designates CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist groups.

Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and his administration voted Tuesday to designate the Muslim Brotherhood, the Council on American-Islamic Relations and approximately 90 other groups as domestic terrorist groups.

A 427-page document that accompanied the vote claimed "there is substantial evidence that CAIR is engaging in terrorist activity" and accused the group of having connections to Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

The vote comes after Texas and Florida labeled the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR as foreign terrorist organizations last year, which forbids both organizations and their affiliates from purchasing or acquiring land in the states and allows increased enforcement against the groups.

Florida on Tuesday expanded the designation to include the domestic terrorist group label and also labeled al-Qaeda, the Houthis and the Continuity Irish Republican Army as foreign terrorist organizations.

Florida also now considers Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, two Mexican drug cartels and Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as foreign terrorist organizations, according to CBS News.

CAIR has since sued the state over the designation, accusing DeSantis of violating the First Amendment and the due process clause of the 14th Amendment.
...

The designations will take effect Nov. 5, if no court strikes them down first.

That's the snag, isn't it?

This is how you do it: An entitled and violent asylum seeker (aren't they all) starts causing "chaos" at a Japanese airport and is deported that same day.

A judge has halted, for the moment, the communist jihadi's plan to tax so-called "pied-a-terre" residences in NYC.

If you remember, Mamdani sent out demands to everyone who owned a home valued at $1 million or more, despite his confiscatory tax only applying to homes valued at $5 million or more. He also sent these demands to people whose NYC homes are their primary homes, not secondary residences or pied-a-terres.

His intent was maximum intimidation. He's a communist like Hasan Piker who wants "capitalist blood running in the streets."

The judge did not block his tax itself, but he demanded Mamdani stop and re-do his intimidating demands sent out to everyone with a pricey apartment.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's plans to charge wealthy out-of-towners with a new tax were dealt a blow on Tuesday after a state judge ordered the administration to redo its rollout.

The ruling by state Supreme Court judge Wayne M. Ozzi sided with a group of homeowners who claimed the tax unconstitutionally discriminates against out-of-state property owners, impedes interstate commerce and retroactively creates tax liabilities for co-op boards because of actions by their shareholders.

In the ruling, Ozzi said "homeowners are being substantially harmed and penalized needlessly" by the city's new tax on second homes in New York City valued at more than $5 million.

He ordered the administration to remove the current list of property owners to whom the tax won't apply and replace it with one listing only those who will be subject to the tax.

The wack-a-doo communist BLM revolutionary running as the Democrat for the open Florida senate seat raised money for a supposedly BLM cause and then, get this, no seriously you'll never believe this, can't account for where the money went.

Hard to believe, right? Must be racism.

A charity controlled by Florida Democratic Senate nominee Angie Nixon raised more than $270,000 in 2024, tax-exempt funds that Nixon said she would use to support Cafe Resistance, the black power-themed bookstore and coffee shop she was launching in Jacksonville. But when Nixon opened the shop that same year, she placed it under the control of her for-profit LLC, and whatever became of the charitable fortune she raised in 2024 is now a mystery.

I think I can solve this mystery. The money went were all BLM "charity fundraising" money goes.

The IRS deadline for Nixon to report what she did with the money she raised in 2024 expired nearly a year ago. A Florida state disclosure she did make said she spent the majority of her charity's haul, $214,000, on "other."

I spent 83% of the charitable tax-free money I raised on "other," your honor.

I blow through a lot of "other" in a month.

And ever since Nixon opened Cafe Resistance--a squat, cinderblock building in a downtrodden part of town that appeared, to a Washington Free Beacon reporter on multiple visits, to operate on a shoestring--her personal income has skyrocketed. This has led legal and tax experts consulted by the Free Beacon to question whether the Florida Democratic Socialist could be exploiting her charity to funnel funds to her personal LLC in violation of nonprofit laws.

Can I answer?

Unanswered questions include how much of the $270,000 raised in 2024 Nixon actually spent on charitable endeavors at her ramshackle bookstore, and how she is spending the charitable donations she continues to raise for race-related "programming" at her store, such as black history classes and the distribution of free contraceptives. Nixon should have answered these questions nearly a year ago on a Form 990 tax return with the IRS by November of 2025, which would have offered a full accounting of her charity's activities in the 2024 calendar year, but she never did.

The Free Beacon contacted Nixon and her campaign on September 25 with a lengthy list of questions related to her charity and LLC, both of which she named the Moxie Group. Nixon did not respond to the inquiry; however, that same day, the Florida Department of State dissolved the Moxie charity as a business entity, and by the afternoon of Sept. 26, the charity--which allegedly "works to empower and uplift underserved and underrepresented communities," according to Nixon's charitable solicitations--had shut down its online fundraising portal, which had been active and soliciting tax-exempt funds the previous day. The Moxie charity's solicitation license in Florida expired January 28, and the Florida Department of Agriculture is now reviewing whether the charity solicited contributions while unregistered, said Aaron Keller, the department's communications director.

...

"If the IRS were to determine she is benefiting personally from the charity, its exemption could be revoked and she may have personal tax liability," Sternal added.
...

The separation between Nixon's charity and LLC in the operation of her Cafe Resistance bookstore has often been nonexistent. The email address her charity uses in its disclosures to the Florida Department of Agriculture, for example, is the same email address the bookstore uses to solicit bookings for birthday parties and private events, the revenue from which Nixon's for-profit LLC presumably collects.

Nixon's charity and LLC are both corporations, and corporations are generally prohibited from providing event space to political campaigns for free, unless they have a practice of regularly providing their spaces to outside groups for free, according to the Federal Election Commission.

I know some of you are suspicious that she launched a fake charity just to line her own pockets. I'm sorry that you are such Huge Racists. Anti-racists avoid the truth at all costs and deploy socially-promoted lies.

🚨 NOW: AG Todd Blanche just caught activist judges in Minnesota improperly running to the New York Times and fake news to TRASH ICE enforcement during ongoing cases -- and he's filing judicial misconduct complaints with the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals

"ALL BUT ONE" judge in the District of Minnesota.

Absolutely unbelievable! They should all be IMPEACHED!

"These judges talk to the media or at least to the New York Times about cases some of which are ongoing in a matter that the Department views as a clear violation of their ethical duties."

"Specifically, the former Chief Judge spoke on the record to the New York Times about the immigration surge late last year and early this year in Minneapolis."

We have a SERIOUS rogue judge problem in the US.

It's time for the House to fire up impeachments. Clean house, end the judicial coup and keep deporting!

@StephenM

Large swaths of corporate media exist at this point primarily to propagandize and radicalize subsets of the population into supporting the liquidation of national sovereignty. Willfully omitted by the CNN propagandists is that these are minors who cartels have recently tried to smuggle across the Southwest Border but who were rescued by Border Patrol. These minors will now be safely and humanely reunited with their families by dedicated public servants who have devoted their lives to combatting child trafficking. It is because of the efforts of these public servants that there is no longer a raging UAC ("unaccompanied alien child") catastrophe -- the Trump Administration swiftly, urgently and righteously ended the child trafficking nightmare.

Between ten to twenty thousand children a MONTH were successfully smuggled by cartels into the US under Biden, who worked with taxpayer NGOs to deliver the smuggled children to unknown adults in the US, whereupon they disappeared. The NGOs then submitted knowingly fraudulent asylum claims to try to keep the children from ever going home or seeing their families again.

These same Democrat-NGO networks for cartels were also ruthlessly exploited by TDA and MS-13 to insert gang members into the United States and violent criminals into our high schools (automatically allowed in merely by claiming to be 17), subjecting innocent American children to unspeakable horrors.

It was one of the darkest of many dark chapters of the Biden era. The Trump Administration put the child traffickers out of business and CNN considers this a great tragedy to be urgently reversed. New depths of "journalistic" depravity and immortality.

The left-wing media immediately trumpets the claims of far-left open borders organizations, but meanwhile cannot trust the word of "far-right" Israeli politicians about the terrorist attempt to crash the plane they were are.

After all, he might have just had a "mental health issue." He may have just been attempting suicide.

Suicide, with 150+ unwilling co-participants.

NY Times is now in FULL damage control mode after they were called out for referring to the stabbing of an airplane captain and an attempted hijacking by the co-pilot as an "altercation."

Their excuse is that they aren't "activists and partisans."

Pathetic

LOL. They sure are quick to trumpet all of the nonsense claims of Democrats, open borders NGOs, and Hamas.

But here, they're taking a cautious approach because they're not "activists and partisans."

29 Read the account of the attempted hijacking over at HA. Best part is that a maintenance man who had no flight training helped to charge the cockpit and bring the attacker down. The pilot had been stabbed and was bleeding, so they pulled him out of the cockpit. The plane was still in a steep dive, and he was for the moment alone in the cockpit.

This is the best part:

"Hayoun then returned to the cockpit. “I went back to the controls and pulled back on the yoke, because there was no one left in the cockpit,” he said.

I asked him how he had known what to do. “I had seen Air Crash Investigation on TV,” he told me, laughing. “I pulled back on the controls, and then another pilot came in and said he was taking control of the aircraft.”

You're going to be shocked to learn that during the campus rape hysteria, there was a piece of demographic information that the DEI police tried mightily to hide: the race of the parties involved.

I'm sure we are all shocked to find that white women disproportionately accused black men of rape. Oh, and get this - it was skewed to high-status athletes. A bunch of the cases were girls who had their MRS Degree guy lined up, cheated on him at a party and got found out.

Michigan State had a woman accuse a football player, who was investigated and acquitted, and then the harridans demanded he by lynched er, I mean punished anyway, so he was, his career was destroyed, and he sued the university and got millions and then she sued because he got paid and she needed money, too.

I think a lot of the boomer hate is envy - they grew up before the herpes/aids scares. They lived in safe neighborhoods and good schools and clean streets. They drove cool cars.

I feel that. I grew up at the peak of the scares, cars were econobox crap, and no jobs after graduation. But I didn't blame the boomers.

The problems come from the "greatest generation" that came back from the war and figured they would do all kinds of crazy stuff hear in pursuit of utopia. The GGs were in charge until Clinton, and by then it was already fuck -- it had to be fucked or a scumbag like him and manbearchakra would never have gotten elected.

I never knew who would come out that door, married doctor or not, but at least she did not have threesomes. At least while I was there.

At my nursing reunion, one of my two classmates (who lived above me in an 100+ year old historic home) told me a story. While I was home in MS for the summer she came into the back door to do laundry in the basement. Said roomie was stark nekkid on the couch with a guy and it freaked her out. I dare say!

I used to sit on that couch and it grosses me out 50yrs later.

133 While there is no official requirement that judges get assigned randomly to cases, there sure ought to be. It wouldn't do much good in the DC courts due to the over representation of political hacks, but in other jurisdictions it would make a huge difference.

I wouldn't be against a literal drawing from the hat in the presnece of both sides.

I am thinking that if the Minnesota judges get the judicial misconduct claims prosecuted, the DC courts will be next. Judges understand precedent.

I ended up using almost all of those nearly daily, but I didn't know that when I was learning it. Girls aren't supposed to be good at math, but there I was.

One thing we all sometimes need to be reminded of is that since day one of public school these kids have been taught that there is only so much money and the economy is a zero sum game.


With billionaires and millionaires taking more than their "fair share" that leaves less for them. I know that is both wrong and stupid but that is what they have been taught for decades in public schools.

142 Ill take their side just a bit. One of the biggest keys to wealth is breaking the rent trap. Houses are insane in value now. It is not 'save up 10 or 20k to get 10% on the balance' but more like 40 or 50k.

Thats a tough hill to climb for anyone.

I take their side a lot on this particular issue. Older Americans, for the most part, have absolutely no idea what home values are now and what it takes for a young person to crack into the homeowner category.

A number of years ago a person could find a starter home in a good neighborhood with good schools for 100-200k. That's a 10-20k down payment. If you're frugal with a decent job you can save for a couple of years and swing that and start a family.

Now? lol. Good luck. Any home in any place where there are jobs and decent schools is 500k+ and if you're trying to start a family both the husband and wife are working full time and saving everything for years and years to get a chance.

And spare me the "Oh but there are great homes in East Bumfuck, Ohio!" Yeah there are no jobs there. And the homes are still 300k+.

146 Well, first this is stuff that is HIGHLY radioactive, and also it doesn't put out as much heat as is needed to run a base. There was some very early discussion in the 50's that a mini-Thorium reactor could be jiggered with this small amount of isotope and put in series, but the problem there is still that the gamma source is highly radioactive and really bad for children, pets, and people who like their genome the was it was issued.

Muslims get 72 houris - but how does the math work out? Especially since the Prophet (pbuh) saw that most people in hell are women. I mean, some of the houris could be boys, but still . . .
Ibn Majah here says that two of the houris are from heaven and the other seventy are from hell.

That's a part of the boomer hate but the big part IMO is that typically boomers have significantly more money to spend than younger generations and that causes some serious resentment.

I have some money now but I sure didn't when I was their age.

Very True.

It took a long time before I didn't feel that I was just running in place.

I was always moving forward, but the benefits of normal life accrue fairly slowly and then they take off.

Someone whining to me that it just isn't fair that they don't have what I have, can just bite my ass.

They haven't worked as hard or as long as I have.

I think there is a misunderstanding between petulant blaming and analysis of where the mistakes were made. Everyone makes mistakes, the question is how do we avoid the same one and getting out of the situation we are in.

To do that we have to re-evaluate things, such as: is a two-income family desirable? Has no-fault divorce been a good thing? Has Free Trade lived up to its promises?

There's also the question of "who, whom?" in terms of where society should place its emphasis. Right now we have a retirement system that crushes the young with ever higher payments for every smaller returns. Similarly, we set up a tax/benefit structure based on the idea that old people would die around 62 and not need long-term care, and that families would all have 3 kids or more.

That's where the "bootstrap" thing doesn't work because the economy is completely unlike it was in 1973 or even 1993. I bought a house in my 20s in 2001, but I could not do it today and that's a problem.
