J Christian Adams and Thomas Lifson are two of my favorite reads for understandable context behind complex issues.

(Via J Christian Adams) The murder of Kathryn Steinle on the Embarcadero in San Francisco by an illegal alien is the most familiar example of a crime committed by an alien. But an unreleased internal report by the Texas Department of Public Safety reveals that aliens have been involved in thousands of crimes in Texas alone, including nearly 3,000 homicides.

PJ Media obtained an never-before-released copy of a Texas DPS report on human smuggling containing the numbers of crimes committed by aliens in Texas. According to the analysis conducted by the Texas Department of Public Safety, foreign aliens committed 611,234 unique crimes in Texas from 2008 to 2014, including thousands of homicides and sexual assaults.

The report describes an alien crime wave of staggering proportions exacerbated by Federal officials unwilling to enforce immigration laws. (more…)

Much to the angst of the media, the establishment GOP, the professionally republican and the left-wing moonbats, Donald Trump not only leads the poll, but favorable opinion of him is higher than Jeb Bush.

Mr. (202)228-0292 scores a complete ZERO. And Mr Smarty Glasses goes from his all time high of 3% back to his customary 1%.

Toilets that don’t flush; washing machines that don’t wash; light bulbs that don’t illuminate; electric cars that don’t drive; exploding windmills; useless solar panels, and now….   

(Via The Hill) Companies that make dishwashers are warning that the Obama administration’s latest efficiency standards for their industry would backfire.

The Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers is accusing the Department of Energy (DOE) of a politically motivated drive to increase dishwasher efficiency standards, which are so bad that they would cause consumers to re-wash dishes, erasing any efficiency gains.

Rob McAver, the group’s head lobbyist, said regulators are going too far and the new rules will allow only 3.1 gallons to be used to wash each load of dishes.  “At some point, they’re trying to squeeze blood from a stone that just doesn’t have any blood left in it,” McAver said. (more…)

Things just got a whole lot more interesting folks. Uncle Asaad Ibrahim Asaad Haj Ali, has been detained in Jordan since the day after the shootings in Tennessee. Uncle Ali is represented in Jordan by the Muslim Brotherhood.

I’m now 99.9% certain that Abdulazeez’s father’s previous investigation, which put him on the terrorist watch list, is connected to the Holy Land Foundation terrorist financing investigation – as a direct tie to his mosque’s involvement. That pre-Obama DOJ investigation was wrapped around the Muslim Brotherhood infiltration of North America Islamic groups.

Despite their protestations to the contrary, the Muslim Brotherhood is the political umbrella over ISIS.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) — An uncle of the man who killed four Marines and a sailor in Tennessee has been in custody in Jordan since a day after the attacks on two military sites, a lawyer said Tuesday.

Abed al-Kader Ahmad al-Khateeb told The Associated Press that he was barred from seeing his client and that family members were also prevented from visiting the detainee.

Computers and cellphones were taken from the man’s home, but he has not been charged with anything, the attorney said. (more…)

The mother of a murder victim, Laura Wilkerson, delivered powerful testimony today before congress, and thanked Donald Trump during her remarks at the hearing. Breitbart.com reported:

During the hearing, titled “Oversight of the Administration’s Misdirected Immigration Enforcement Policies: Examining the Impact on Public Safety and Honoring the Victims,” Wilkerson broke from her written testimony to deliver a dire warning.

“This was our family’s 9/11 terrorist attack by a foreign invader,” she said at the most pivotal point in her testimony. “It is going to take another life lost by a Senator, a Congressman, the President, even another of today’s heroes, someone from Hollywood before someone in a position moves on this.”

The Center for Medical Progress has released another video of Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s Medical Directors’ Council President Mary Gatter seemingly haggling over the price of fetal tissue. “What would you expect for intact tissue?” an undercover actor asks her.

“Well, why don’t you start by telling me what you’re used to paying,” Gatter says. “…You know, in negotiations whoever throws out the figure first is at a loss, right?”

“What I want to know is, what would work for you? Don’t lowball it, tell me–”

“$75 a specimen,” Gatter cuts across. (more…)

D’oh – Yet again, Marilyn Mosby fails to make a legal and intellectual argument that has merit.  The judge swatted this “protective order” down rather brutally.  Apparently Mosby is unaware of the difference between “probative” and “prejudicial”.  

BALTIMORE – A judge has denied the request of State’s Attorney Marilyn J. Mosby to keep attorneys in the Freddie Case from publicizing evidence before the trial.

Mosby, who is prosecuting six police officers in Gray’s death, wanted a court hearing to argue for a protective order that would bar the release of any evidence — or, if the officers’ attorneys agreed, to post all of it online.

Mosby said she was concerned that the defense attorneys would leak only evidence that supported their clients’ defense, jeopardizing the ability to conduct a fair trial.

[…] In a ruling issued Monday, Judge Barry G. Williams rejected Mosby’s request without a hearing. He wrote that the state “does not suggest there is anything in discovery that warrants restricting disclosure.” (more…)

You just can’t make this stuff up. Baltimore Mayor Rawlings-Blake claims many cities are jealous of the duration of the arson, looting, riots and lawlessness. It only lasted a “few hours”, and “many cities would be proud of that accomplishment”….

Of course the looted and burned businesses might have a divergent perspective. But I digress. (video in tweet)

Great interview with Ann Coulter and Larry Elder. While the primary topic is immigration and all of the ramifications from illegal aliens and legal aliens, much of the conversation is also discussing presidential politics.

Ann Coulter’s pick is @25:50

*In an affirmation moment, Ann Coulter also talks about CPAC being entirely owned/operated by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce now.
