truepundit--2020-02-27--Court hands Trump win in sanctuary city fight, says administration can deny grant money

A federal appeals court on Wednesday handed a major win to the Trump administration in its fight against “ sanctuary ” jurisdictions , ruling that it can deny grant money to states that refuse to cooperate with federal immigration authorities .
The 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals in New York overturned a lower court ruling that stopped the administration ’ s 2017 move to withhold grant money from the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program , which dispenses over $ 250 million a year to state and local criminal justice efforts .
“ Today ’ s decision rightfully recognizes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to ensure that Department of Justice grant recipients are not at the same time thwarting federal law enforcement priorities , ” a DOJ spokesman said in a statement .
“ The grant conditions here require states and cities that receive DOJ grants to share information about criminals in custody .
The federal government uses this information to enforce national immigration laws–policies supported by successive Democrat and Republican administrations.
” “ All Americans will benefit from increased public safety as this Administration is able to implement its lawful immigration and public safety policies , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ decision conflicts with rulings from other appeals courts across the country concerning sanctuary policies , indicating a Supreme Court review is ultimately likely .
New York City and liberal states including New York , Washington , Massachusetts and Connecticut sued the government , and the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York backed them — ordering the money be released and stopping the government from putting immigration-related conditions on grants .

EXCLUSIVE: DOJ Blocks FBI Investigation of Clinton’s SWINDLE of BILL GATES Charity Cash; Fuming Microsoft Mogul Duped Out of Untold Millions by Clinton Foundation Schemes

When FBI agents working the Clinton Foundation investigation developed intelligence that tech pioneer and philanthropist Bill Gates was beyond angry at Bill and Hillary Clinton for duping his charitable foundation out of as much as $ 200 million , FBI brass wanted to arrange a sit down with the Microsoft mogul .
Gates , after all , is the second wealthiest man in the United States , running a close second behind Amazon king Jeff Bezos .
That is the kind of fact witness FBI agents dream about .
Would Gates flip on the Clinton ’ s and spill the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to their sham foundation ?
Bad blood between Gates and the Clinton ’ s would certainly help fortify a criminal case against the Clinton Foundation .
But as Thomas Paine revealed on his Moore Paine Show on Patreon Tuesday night as well as the Thomas Paine Podcast on Wednesday — FBI agents never got the chance to pick Gates ’ brain .

That ’ s a number the FBI was never truly allowed to develop .
The criminal case has since been spiked by Attorney General William Barr .
It appears Barr ’ s Justice Department too was responsible for blocking the FBI from allowing Gates to talk about his reported problems with the Clinton charities .
Gates — both directly through his charity foundation and through other charitable proxies he is linked to — provided the Clinton ’ s with well over $ 200 million , perhaps @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) The Clinton Foundation ’ s financials detail the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has donated “ greater ” than $ 25 million to the Clinton ’ s charity , though no exact figure was provided .
The Clinton Foundation lists contributors by money tiers and “ Greater than $ 25 Million ” is the top category where the Gates charity is listed .
However , another top-tier contributor is Unitaid — a charity where the Gates ’ have pumped over $ 150 million into which then turned around and donated “ greater @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Clinton Foundation .
Similar arrangements tied to the Clinton ’ s with other global Gates-backed charities likewise exist , netting untold millions in revenue for the Clinton ’ s .

Following in the media’s kowtowing to abortion activists who seek to change the language to make abortion sound less horrific, CNN is now suggesting there is a difference between a baby who survived an abortion and all other babies.
In an article slanted heavily toward abortion CNN actually described the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act as requiring “abortion providers to work to ‘preserve the life and health’ of a fetus that was born following an attempted abortion as they would for a newborn baby, or face up to five years in prison.”
In CNN’s world, a “fetus that was born” is not the same as a “newborn baby,” apparently simply due to the fact that one was wanted and the other was nearly killed.
Beyond the disturbing euphemism that tries to dehumanize a baby that survives an abortion, CNN also referred to the Born-Alive Act as an “anti-abortion” bill, even though the bill doesn’t place any restrictions on a woman’s ability to get an abortion, it only states that newborn babies should get health care. The media has been deliberately misrepresenting this bill for more than a year in an attempt to paint supporters as trying to limit a woman’s ability to choose. Despite their best efforts, even two Democrat senators – Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Doug Jones of Alabama – have supported the bill previously and indicated this week they will do so again. – READ MORE

Virginia Democrats blocked a pay raise for sheriff departments across the commonwealth over the law enforcement officers’ staunch opposition to gun control, a state lawmaker has claimed.
During passage of the Virginia budget last week, state Sen. Bill Stanley (R) introduced an amendment to give each Virginia sheriff’s department a 3% pay raise. Unfortunately, every Democrat rejected his proposal.
According to Stanley, state Senate Majority Leader Dick Saslaw (D) admitted that his party rejected the pay raise because law enforcement across Virginia so openly opposed Virginia Democrats’ aggressive gun control agenda, the majority of which even went to far as to declare their jurisdictions “sanctuary counties.”
“Hey Stanley, you want to know why your sheriffs didn’t get a raise? — because they came to our committees and said that they weren’t going to enforce our laws,” Stanley claimed he was told. – READ MORE
