therightscoop--2020-01-14--House Democrats demand ICE release all transgender illegal aliens held in detention

In the latest insane demand from Democrats , they are now saying that ICE needs to release all transgender illegal aliens currently in detention .
From the Hill : House Democrats plan to call on a key immigration agency to release all transgender people who are currently being detained , arguing that the U.S. has failed to follow guidelines to protect individuals who face more perilous conditions in detention than other migrants .
“ We write to demand the release of all transgender people currently detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement ( ICE ) , ” the letter to ICE @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an early copy obtained by The Hill .
“ Transgender migrants and asylum seekers are particularly vulnerable to sexual harassment , solitary confinement , physical assault , and medical neglect .
These inhumane conditions and systematic abuses are evidenced in countless reports and accounts by formally detained people , ” continues the letter , which will be addressed to acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf and acting ICE Director Matthew Albence .
I can definitely believe that transgender detainees are at higher risk than others .
And that ’ s because many of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ very bigoted against any kind of non-traditional gender expression .
More from the Hill : The letter cites research articles from the Human Rights Campaign , Amnesty International and the Center for American Progress in arguing that due to their gender identity , transgender migrants are more likely to face “ the pervasive use of solitary confinement ” and that they are “ 97 times more likely to be sexually victimized ” compared to “ their cis-gender and straight counterparts in detention.
” Rep. Mike Quigley ( D-Ill. ) , who is leading @ @ @ @ @ @ @ other Democratic colleagues last week seeking their signatures on his ICE letter , in which he argues there is a legal basis for releasing the transgender detainees .
Now I do think that ICE should do everything within its power to respect detainees , and yes , even be sensitive to transgender needs , within reason .
BUT , I ’ m sure we can ALL figure out exactly what will happen if ICE actually begins releasing people based on the claim that they are transgenders… all of a sudden there will be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t nobody got time for that .
And I hasten to add that the framing on all immigration issues completely ignores that America already accepts about a MILLION immigrants every year !
It ’ s not like allowing or not allowing transgender illegals will show how “ compassionate ” we are .
We ’ re ALREADY living up to the words on the Statue of Liberty , but no one wants to admit it because it undermines the liberal argument .

I can definitely believe that transgender detainees are at higher risk than others. And that’s because many of those from Latin American countries are actually very bigoted against any kind of non-traditional gender expression.

Ain’t nobody got time for that.

EVIL: Pedophile says he ‘identifies’ as 6-year-old girl, defends child porn possession under 1st Amendment

A bizarre defense is being offered by a pedophile who was caught with child sexual abuse photos – he says he identifies as a 6-year-old girl and that the evil crap falls under his First Amendment right to free expression .
More about this idiot : At his sentencing , Gobrick told the judge : ‘ I ’ ve always been an eight-year-old girl .

A judge in Wisconsin has ordered the state to remove 209k names from its voter rolls or pay a daily fine until they do… FOX NEWS – A Wisconsin judge on Monday found the state ’ s Elections Commission and three of its members in contempt of court and ordered the commission to remove up to 209,000 names from the state ’ s voter rolls , in a case that could have major implications later this year in a key battleground state .

UH OH: Bernie Sanders being accused of telling Big Chief Elizabeth Warren that ‘women can’t win’ presidential election

With only a few weeks before the Iowa Caucuses , Bernie Sanders is now being accused of telling Elizabeth Warren , a year ago , that he didn ’ t believe a woman could win the race for president : CNN – The stakes were high when Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren met at Warren ’ s apartment in Washington , DC , one evening in December 2018 .
The longtime friends knew that they could soon be running against each other for president .
The two agreed that if they ultimately faced each other as presidential candidates , they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ another , so as not to hurt the progressive movement .
They also discussed how to best take on President Donald Trump , and Warren laid out two main reasons she believed she would be a strong candidate : She could make a robust argument about the economy and earn broad support from female voters .
Sanders responded that he did not believe a woman could win .
The description of that meeting is based on the accounts of four people : two people Warren spoke with directly soon after the encounter , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
That evening , Sanders expressed frustration at what he saw as a growing focus among Democrats on identity politics , according to one of the people familiar with the conversation .
Warren told Sanders she disagreed with his assessment that a woman could not win , three of the four sources said .
I had no idea that Bernie Sanders was a misogynist !
How dare he tell Harvard Law School ’ s first woman of color , in so many words , that she ’ s got no chance of winning @ @ @ @ @ @ @ meeting in a statement to CNN .
“ It is ludicrous to believe that at the same meeting where Elizabeth Warren told me she was going to run for president , I would tell her that a woman couldn ’ t win , ” Sanders said .
“ It ’ s sad that , three weeks before the Iowa caucus and a year after that private conversation , staff who weren ’ t in the room are lying about what happened .
What I did say that night was that Donald Trump is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ liar who would weaponize whatever he could .
Do I believe a woman can win in 2020 ?
Of course !
After all , Hillary Clinton beat Donald Trump by 3 million votes in 2016.
” Wow .
Berie ain ’ t taking this sitting down !
He actually used the ‘ L ’ word to describe Warren ’ s staffers .
Seriously though , this really does sound a bit like a hit job by Warren to try and hurt Bernie before the debate tomorrow night , and before the Iowa caucuses @ @ @ @ @ @ @ weighed in on the accusations , and so the big question remains as to whether she will she deny it happened tomorrow night and take up for the old socialist coot , or pile on by saying it really did happen .

The news is just breaking that Senator Cory Booker has just ended his 2020 presidential campaign:
NBC NEWS – Sen. Cory Booker. D-N.J., announced Monday he is dropping out of the Democratic presidential race. With his departure, former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick is now the only black candidate remaining in the 12-candidate Democratic primary. Booker held a staff call at his campaign headquarters in Newark before making his announcement public, a campaign official told NBC News. Booker polled at about 2 percent nationally, according to the RealClearPolitics polling average, and was knocked off the debate stage in recent months. Booker joins author Marianne Williamson and former Housing Secretary Julián Castro as candidates who have departed from the race this month. Earlier this month, Booker said the president’s looming impeachment trial, in addition to other matters in Washington, D.C., could deal a “big, big blow” to his presidential aspirations. In September, his campaign made a plea to supporters for donations, saying if Booker did not quickly raise nearly $2 million, his campaign would have no path forward.
Notice how quick NBC News is to point out that this leaves only one black man still standing in the race for president on the Democratic side. And Patrick isn’t polling well at all, so it won’t be long before he’s out too.
But I thought Democrats were the party of diversity?
What’s funny is that it’s starting to look like, based on recent polling, that the Democratic primary may end up being between the two oldest and whitest men running, Biden and Sanders. It’s not over yet, so we’ll have to wait and see how it pans out with the woman and the gay guy still running.

This should be a time for the US Congress to speak with one voice to condemn an Iranian regime that kills its own people. — Kevin McCarthy (@GOPLeader) January 14, 2020
According to Town Hall, McCarthy’s resolution…

.@senatemajldr expects Senate to receive Articles of Impeachment tomorrow. Then says Senate could take some preliminary steps: having the Chief Justice swear in Senators as jurors and then the trial could begin next Tuesday.

The Senate must still approve a resolution to provide the ground rules for the start of the impeachment trial. McConnell says all 53 GOP Senators are together but no text of that resolution has been released as yet. — Jamie Dupree (@jamiedupree) January 14, 2020
In short, McConnell says there are housekeeping measures that must be dealt with first, which puts the trial beginning on Tuesday.

WATCH: Ted Cruz says there will be NO dismissal, explains exactly how Senate impeachment trial will proceed

Ted Cruz , who sits on the Judiciary Committee , said this morning that the Senate has decided that there will be no pre-trial dismissal vote on the impeachment articles when Pelosi finally sends them over : Rather , Cruz explains how the impeachment trial will proceed in the Senate : It ’ ll start with opening arguments from the House managers .
We ’ ll give them a full and fair opportunity to present their case .
Then it will move to opening arguments from the White House defense team .
Unlike how House Democrats did it , we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a full and fair opportunity to present his case and defend himself .
We will then move to questions from Senators and the way that ’ ll work is they won ’ t be orally .
Instead Senators have to write down our questions .
We submit our questions in writing and the Chief Justice will ask the questions for us .
( 3 ) Debate on whether to dismiss , vote , or take up witnesses : It ’ s at that point then that I think the debates will happen about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or to vote to final verdict then , or whether to take up witnesses .
Cruz went on to say that he doesn ’ t believe impeachment will be dismissed at that point , but rather it will receive a final verdict of ‘ not guilty ’ : “ I think at the end of this process , these Articles of Impeachment are going to be thrown out .
And I think it ’ s going to end , not with a dismissal , but with a verdict of not guilty .
And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , when you come to vote on verdict , you vote on each article , and each senator will vote either ‘ guilty ’ or ‘ not guilty.
’ The reason why this ends with an acquittal is very simple ; the House hasn ’ t met the constitutional threshold .
The Constitution specifies for impeachment of a president that you have to demonstrate bribery , treason or other high crimes and misdemeanors .
They haven ’ t done that .
In fact , this is the first time in the history of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ without even so much as an allegation of criminal conduct .
They have not alleged in these Articles of Impeachment the president violated any criminal law .
They haven ’ t alleged he violated any civil law .

Ted Cruz, who sits on the Judiciary Committee, said this morning that the Senate has decided that there will be no pre-trial dismissal vote on the impeachment articles when Pelosi finally sends them over:

It’ll start with opening arguments from the House managers. We’ll give them a full and fair opportunity to present their case. Then it will move to opening arguments from the White House defense team. Unlike how House Democrats did it, we’re gonna give the president a full and fair opportunity to present his case and defend himself.
(2) Questions from Senators in Writing:
We will then move to questions from Senators and the way that’ll work is they won’t be orally. Instead Senators have to write down our questions. We submit our questions in writing and the Chief Justice will ask the questions for us.
(3) Debate on whether to dismiss, vote, or take up witnesses:
It’s at that point then that I think the debates will happen about whether or not to dismiss the case or to vote to final verdict then, or whether to take up witnesses.

“I think at the end of this process, these Articles of Impeachment are going to be thrown out. And I think it’s going to end, not with a dismissal, but with a verdict of not guilty.

They haven’t even alleged the president has a speeding ticket. And for that reason, this doesn’t meet the constitutional standard of high crimes and misdemeanors.

Ted Cruz just released his statement on Pelosi and the Dems finally sending over their impeachment articles:
Today, House Dems are finally handing the reins of their partisan show trial over to the Senate. For months, the American people have been lectured on the critical urgency of impeaching Trump. For weeks, Pelosi dragged her feet, refusing to send the Articles over to the Senate. — Senator Ted Cruz (@SenTedCruz) January 15, 2020
The reason is that the Articles fail to meet the constitutional standard for impeachment. They do not allege a single crime was committed – not even a speeding ticket. — Senator Ted Cruz (@SenTedCruz) January 15, 2020
It’s been disheartening to watch House Democrats subject our constitutional process and the President to relentless abuse and partisan gamesmanship for blatantly political purposes. That pattern will not continue in the Senate. — Senator Ted Cruz (@SenTedCruz) January 15, 2020
Make no mistake; the Senate will give President Trump and the American people a fair trial. One that follows precedent and respects due process. Unlike the House, we will be fair, give both sides a full opportunity to present their case, and allow the President to defend himself. — Senator Ted Cruz (@SenTedCruz) January 15, 2020
Senate should do its job quickly. I look forward to reviewing the evidence, voting on these facially-deficient Articles & continuing to deliver on promises made to the American people, like securing our border, reducing federal regulations & creating more economic opportunities. — Senator Ted Cruz (@SenTedCruz) January 15, 2020
I agree with him on all of this, but especially the quickly part. Get it done so we can all finally move on from this unfair impeachment.

The Republican governor of Tennessee has announced he will sign a bill that aims to protect faith-based adoption agencies from the LGBT crowd:
NBC NEWS – Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee announced Tuesday that he’ll sign into law a measure that would assure continued taxpayer funding of faith-based foster care and adoption agencies even if they exclude LGBT families and others based on religious beliefs. The GOP-controlled Senate gave the bill final passage on the first day of the 2020 legislative session after it was initially approved by the House last April. The bill was sent to the Republican governor amid warnings by critics of possible negative consequences for Tennessee’s reputation. Lee’s communication director, Chris Walker, confirmed in a statement Tuesday evening that the governor would sign the bill. Earlier, before the Senate vote, Lee declined to weigh in after saying he had not read the two-page bill.
“This bill is solely about freedom,” said Sen. Paul Rose, the Republican sponsor of the bill. Rose conceded he thought the bill wasn’t necessary, pointing out that President Donald Trump’s administration is currently proposing a rule that would impose the same protections. Yet he said he advanced the bill this year because there was no guarantee Trump would be reelected later this year. Trump’s proposal would rescind an Obama-era rule that prevented foster care agencies from receiving federal funds if they discriminated against families based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
Even if Trump wins and his new rule goes into effect, there’s nothing to stop another administration from undoing it. So yes, these state laws are absolutely necessary.
But you know the LGBT crowd will probably sue because they think this is an attack on their rights or something. It’s not, but you’ll never convince them of that, at least not the activist types.

The AP is reporting that three people are now in custody after pulling up to the gate of Joint Base-Pearl Harbor in Hawaii with a live mortar round in their vehicle:
#BREAKING HONOLULU (AP) — Military officials: 3 in custody after live mortar round found in their vehicle at gate to Pearl Harbor base. #fox5atl — FOX 5 Atlanta (@FOX5Atlanta) January 15, 2020
Here’s more from Star Advertiser:
Three individuals are in custody after a security guard at Joint Base-Pearl Harbor spotted potential ordnance in their vehicle at Nimitz Gate Tuesday night, prompting security forces to temporarily shut down all gates at the base, an official said. Spokesman Chuck Anthony said an Explosive Ordnance Disposal team identified the ordnance as a live mortar round.
“The guard noticed the smell of marijuana…”
Security responded to a vehicle occupied by three civilians at Nimitz Gate at about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday that did not have authorized access at the base. When the gate guard requested the driver to turn around, the guard noticed the smell of marijuana and saw potential ordnance in plain sight in the car, Anthony said. The ordnance disposal team immediately responded to the scene while security forces shut down access to the base at all gates. The team removed the mortar from the vehicle for disposal. No injuries were reported. Security forces reopened the O’Malley Gate shortly after midnight. All gates reopened to normal traffic shortly before 4 a.m. today. Anthony said the three individuals remain in the custody of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service.
At this time we don’t know anything about the people arrested, only that they were smoking dope with a live mortar round and that they did not have access to the gate of the base. Hawaii News Now adds that “hundreds of cars get turned around usually because drivers end up at the wrong gate.”
I don’t want to jump to any conclusions but it sounds like these people could have been planning something bad. After all, you can’t just drive around with a live mortar round in your vehicle. Munitions like this are tightly controlled by the military. So the question becomes how did they get it in the first place? Also, from what I understand, a mortar round doesn’t have to be fired out of a tube. It can be put somewhere and a timer can be set on it to explode later.
[MAJOR UPDATE]
It turns out that the mortar round was not live after all, that it was just an inert training round:
NAVY TIMES – It was an “inert training round,” Naval Criminal Investigative Service spokesman Jeff Houston said in an email. “NCIS does not believe that terrorism played any role in the gate incident yesterday and we don’t believe there is any threat to the community,” he wrote Wednesday. The vehicle’s occupants were released Wednesday. No information was available about them, and it’s not clear if they will face charges.
So I guess you guys we’re right. This was more Bill and Ted than anything else.

Mark Levin weighed in on the Senate impeachment process last night, warning Senators not to give credibility to a “poisonous process”:
Here’s more from Conservative Review:
Tuesday night on the radio, LevinTV host Mark Levin discussed how the ongoing impeachment process against President Donald Trump will be remembered by history — and said that members of Congress should act accordingly.
“I would tell Nancy Pelosi, who fascistically announced that we impeached Trump and that can’t be taken back, he’ll be forever impeached,” Levin said, “that it is you who are stained by your own fascism.”
Levin went on to say that Pelosi and House Democrats “will go down in history in an extraordinarily negative way.” In contrast, “Donald Trump, in this context, will be viewed as the victim of a rogue and out-of-control, small majority in the House of Representatives. It will be said that they denied him the due process that was provided to prior presidents who faced impeachment and judges who had faced impeachment.”
The host then turned to the upper chamber, which is expected to start its trial next week, per Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. More specifically, Levin turned his attention toward Senate Republicans who are likely to join with Democrats’ calls for extra witnesses during the trial.
“They will be remembered, also, like the Democrats,” Levin said. “History will tell us that they undermined the Constitution and participated in a coup against a duly elected president. And the reason is this: What was done in the House of Representatives has never been done in American history. Never before. It’s a complete ruse, a complete sham.”
By calling for extra witnesses instead of dismissing the charges, Levin explained, senators are “giving credibility to a process that is a poisonous process, rather than upholding their constitutional responsibility to serve as a check on a rogue House of Representatives.”

therightscoop--2020-01-16--Gov. Northam declares “state of emergency” ahead of gun rights rally next Monday; NRA responds…

The leftist Governor Northam of Virginia has declared an actual state of emergency over a gun rights rally being held next Monday , suggesting that there are a few credible threats from bad actors planning to attend : WASHINGTON TIMES – Virginia Gov .
Ralph Northam announced Wednesday that he was declaring a state of emergency over threats of “ armed militia groups storming our Capitol ” ahead of a gun-rights rally next week .
Northam ’ s emergency order will ban weapons of all kinds , including firearms , from the Capitol grounds starting Friday and continuing through Tuesday @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to protect public safety because of potential violence from out-of-state groups at a gun-rights rally scheduled for Monday .
“ Let me be clear .
These are considered credible , serious threats by our law enforcement agencies , ” Northam said at a Capitol news conference .
He added that some of the rhetoric used by groups planning to attend Monday ’ s rally is similar to what was said in the lead-up to a deadly 2017 white nationalist rally in Charlottesville .
“ We will not allow that mayhem and violence to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ King Jr. Day and is known as “ Lobby day ” in Virginia politics as advocates for a number of causes use the holiday to try and buttonhole lawmakers .
It ’ s also traditionally when pro-gun and gun-control advocates hold rallies .
This year , law enforcement officials are expecting thousands of gun-rights advocates to attend a rally organized by the Virginia Citizens Defense League .
The House Republican Leader affirmed that there are indeed credible threats from a few agitators , but says that this in no way reflects the busloads @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Capitol : The chairman of the Virginia GOP had a different take : I ’ m with the chairman here .
It ’ s one thing to prepare for credible threats and all , but to declare a state of emergency over a 2nd amendment rally ?
C ’ mon .
I understand the past history with Charlottesville , but a state of emergency just seems like an overreaction .
All of this is really because the Virginia legislature is passing new gun control measures that would limit how many guns someone can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ background checks on private sales .
They are also passing a new red flag gun confiscation law which would no doubt be enforced liberally .
The NRA responded to all of this , as well as compliments the governor threw their way , with the following statement : I couldn ’ t agree more .
If Northam really had respect for both the NRA and his citizenry , he ’ d refuse to sign any of these new gun control laws .
But after beating the blackface/kkk scandal nad getting reelected , there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ going to pass up the opportunity to make citizens of Virginia less safe .

The leftist Governor Northam of Virginia has declared an actual state of emergency over a gun rights rally being held next Monday, suggesting that there are a few credible threats from bad actors planning to attend:
WASHINGTON TIMES – Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam announced Wednesday that he was declaring a state of emergency over threats of “armed militia groups storming our Capitol” ahead of a gun-rights rally next week. Northam’s emergency order will ban weapons of all kinds, including firearms, from the Capitol grounds starting Friday and continuing through Tuesday. He said the order was necessary to protect public safety because of potential violence from out-of-state groups at a gun-rights rally scheduled for Monday. “Let me be clear. These are considered credible, serious threats by our law enforcement agencies,” Northam said at a Capitol news conference. He added that some of the rhetoric used by groups planning to attend Monday’s rally is similar to what was said in the lead-up to a deadly 2017 white nationalist rally in Charlottesville. “We will not allow that mayhem and violence to happen here.” Monday is Martin Luther King Jr. Day and is known as “Lobby day” in Virginia politics as advocates for a number of causes use the holiday to try and buttonhole lawmakers. It’s also traditionally when pro-gun and gun-control advocates hold rallies. This year, law enforcement officials are expecting thousands of gun-rights advocates to attend a rally organized by the Virginia Citizens Defense League.
The House Republican Leader affirmed that there are indeed credible threats from a few agitators, but says that this in no way reflects the busloads of Virginians coming to rally at the Capitol:
Statement of House Republican Leadership on Governor Northam's State of Emergency pic.twitter.com/KHeTCoX1TM — VA House GOP (@vahousegop) January 15, 2020
The chairman of the Virginia GOP had a different take:
Republican Party of Virginia Chairman Jack Wilson condemned Northam’s declaration. “Northam and the rest of the Virginia Democrats have made their session goal crystal clear: a disarmed, vulnerable, and subservient citizenry,” Wilson said in a statement.
I’m with the chairman here. It’s one thing to prepare for credible threats and all, but to declare a state of emergency over a 2nd amendment rally? C’mon. I understand the past history with Charlottesville, but a state of emergency just seems like an overreaction.
All of this is really because the Virginia legislature is passing new gun control measures that would limit how many guns someone can buy per month and it would force background checks on private sales. They are also passing a new red flag gun confiscation law which would no doubt be enforced liberally.
The NRA responded to all of this, as well as compliments the governor threw their way, with the following statement:
“If Virginia Gov. Northam sincerely respects the efforts of the NRA and its 5 million members, he can demonstrate that respect by not infringing our rights.” – Jason Ouimet, executive director, NRA Institute for Legislative Action — Stephen Gutowski (@StephenGutowski) January 16, 2020
I couldn’t agree more. If Northam really had respect for both the NRA and his citizenry, he’d refuse to sign any of these new gun control laws. But after beating the blackface/kkk scandal nad getting reelected, there’s zero chance he’s going to pass up the opportunity to make citizens of Virginia less safe.
