bigleaguepolitics--2020-03-08--19 States Sue to Derail President Trump’s America First Agenda at the Border

19 states have banded together to file a lawsuit against the Trump administration over its recent allocation of $ 3.8 billion in defense funding for the border wall .
According to Luis Miguel of The New American , the argument these states made was that this action was unconstitutional and could bring about harmful environmental consequences .

19 States Sue to Derail President Trump’s America First Agenda at the Border
19 states have banded together to file a lawsuit against the Trump administration over its recent allocation of $3.8 billion in defense funding for the border wall.
According to Luis Miguel of The New American, the argument these states made was that this action was unconstitutional and could bring about harmful environmental consequences.
“Use of these additional federal funds for the construction of a border wall is contrary to Congress’s intent and in violation of the U.S. Constitution,” read the lawsuit, filed on March 3, 2020 in federal court in California.
In 2019, President Trump declared a national emergency in response to a large wave of migrants coming across the southern border.
In addition to the declaration, the president announced he would use Department of Defense (DOD) funds to build the border wall because Congress did not allocate the full amount he wanted in the federal budget.
The Pentagon revealed to Congress last month that it would transfer an additional $3.8 billion for the wall by drawing out money from weapons programs.
The 19 states sustain that the allocation is unconstitutional because it is in violation of the separation of powers and Congress’ power of the purse.
In the lawsuit, the plaintiffs argue that using DOD funds negatively impacts communities whose economies depend on military spending.
The lawsuit reads:
Defense spending in Connecticut is critical not just to national military readiness but to Connecticut’s economy. The Administration’s planned funding diversions threaten to harm the State’s economy, employment, and tax revenues. As of 2017, annual defense spending injected $15 billion into Connecticut’s economy, accounting for 5.6 percent of the State’s per capita GDP — a higher percentage than in all but two other states. DOD’s reprogramming action diverts funding away from critical military projects for which Connecticut-based companies produce key components.
Further, the states claim that the Trump administration did not factor in environmental impacts. They described the White House’s decision as a violation of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
“President Trump is risking the safety of every American by diverting taxpayer dollars from our military to fund the same xenophobic campaign promises he’s made for the last four years,” said New York Attorney General Letitia James in a statement.
Luis Miguel noted that in addition to New York, “the states participating in the lawsuit are California, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, and Wisconsin.”
The suit also asserts that the wall will cause environmental damage in some of the states where it will be built.
“Defendants’ use of the diverted funds to construct parts of their border wall in New Mexico will also harm New Mexico’s sovereign interests by imposing environmental harm to the State. The environmental damage caused by a border wall in New Mexico would include the blocking of wildlife migration, flooding, and habitat loss,” the suit states.
Last week, the Sierra Club, American Civil Liberties Union, and Southern Border Communities Coalition also took legal action regarding the reallocation of funds for the wall.
“The president is doubling down on his unlawful scheme to raid taxpayer funds for a xenophobic campaign promise that is destroying national treasures, harming the environment, and desecrating tribal lands,” an ACLU attorney declared.
The Left is working overtime to derail President Trump’s America First agenda.
Immigration is the most crucial of our time.
From maintaining a cohesive nation state to protecting political traditions such as the right to bear arms, immigration bleeds into so many areas — politics, economics, and culture.

Facebook Bans Advertisements for Medical Face Masks Amid Coronavirus Pandemic

Facebook Director of Product Management Rob Leathern made the announcement in a Twitter post last week.
Update: We’re banning ads and commerce listings selling medical face masks. We’re monitoring COVID19 closely and will make necessary updates to our policies if we see people trying to exploit this public health emergency. We’ll start rolling out this change in the days ahead. — Rob Leathern (@robleathern) March 7, 2020
There has been a controversy over whether or not face masks do anything prevent the spread of coronavirus in recent weeks, as people have rushed to buy them in an attempt to stop themselves from being infected.
The Guardian admitted on Sunday that face masks are an effective, if not foolproof, way of preventing the spread of the disease:
Wearing a face mask is certainly not an iron-clad guarantee that you won’t get sick – viruses can also transmit through the eyes and tiny viral particles, known as aerosols, can penetrate masks. However, masks are effective at capturing droplets, which is a main transmission route of coronavirus, and some studies have estimated a roughly fivefold protection versus no barrier alone (although others have found lower levels of effectiveness). If you are likely to be in close contact with someone infected, a mask cuts the chance of the disease being passed on. If you’re showing symptoms of coronavirus, or have been diagnosed, wearing a mask can also protect others. So masks are crucial for health and social care workers looking after patients and are also recommended for family members who need to care for someone who is ill – ideally both the patient and carer should have a mask.
This hasn’t stopped tirades from so-called medical experts chiding concerned individuals for buying face masks in an attempt to prevent infection.
“There are severe strains on protective equipment around the world,” said Dr. Michael J. Ryan, who works as executive director for the health emergency program at the World Health Organization, during a briefing in February. “Our primary concern is to ensure that our front line health workers are protected and that they have the equipment they need to do their jobs.”
“Not having a mask does not necessarily put you at any increased risk of contracting this disease,” Dr. Ryan said.
“There is no role for these masks in the community,” said Robert Redfield, who works as the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, to the House Foreign Affairs Committee. “These masks need to be prioritized for health care professionals that as part of their job are taking care of individuals.”
“Seriously people- STOP BUYING MASKS!” the U.S. Surgeon General wrote in a tweet. “They are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching #Coronavirus, but if healthcare providers can’t get them to care for sick patients, it puts them and our communities at risk!”
The masks are only for the official health care experts, the government bureaucrats claim, while the ordinary person should not have access to the additional protection. Facebook is yet again serving the globalists by making it more difficult for individuals to access face masks, as they try to protect themselves as coronavirus continues to spread throughout the world with no sign of slowing.

Google Tracked an Innocent Biker who Rode Past a Burglarized Home, Then He Became a Suspect
In January, a Florida resident received a shocking email from Google’s legal investigations support team.
Zachary McCoy was preparing to leave for work at a restaurant in Gainesville, Florida.
NBC News reported that local police were demanding that McCoy turn over information related to his Google account.
The company said it would hand over the data unless he went to court and tried to block it. He only had seven days to get this settled.

McCoy had an Android phone, which was connected to his Google account, which has a wide array of Google products, including Gmail and YouTube. At the time, law enforcement wanted access to all of it.
“I didn’t know what it was about, but I knew the police wanted to get something from me,” McCoy said during a recent interview. “I was afraid I was going to get charged with something, I don’t know what.”

McCoy checked his phone again. McCoy enjoys biking and he used an exercise-tracking app, RunKeeper, to keep a record of his rides. The app used his phone’s location services, which gave Google a record of his movement. He took a look at the route on the day of the March 29, 2019, burglary and realized that he had passed by the victim’s house three times within an hour. According to McCoy, this is part of the frequent loops he took through his neighborhood,
“It was a nightmare scenario,” McCoy recounted. “I was using an app to see how many miles I rode my bike and now it was putting me at the scene of the crime. And I was the lead suspect.”
The victim of the burglary was a 97-year-old woman who informed police she had several pieces of jewelry, including an engagement ring, worth more than $2,000, stolen. Four days after she reported the burglary, Gainesville police went to an Alachua County judge with the warrant for Google.
In the warrant request, the police officer demanded records of all devices using Google services that were in the vicinity of the woman’s home when the burglary was supposed to have occured
Police agencies across the nation, including the FBI, have been using Google geofence warrants. In a court filing, Google revealed that geofence warrants requests from state and federal law enforcement authorities have been on the uptick recently. According to the NBC News article, “more than 1,500 percent from 2017 to 2018, and by 500 percent from 2018 to 2019.”
Thankfully, McCoy was no longer considered a suspect.
However, this should have privacy advocates concerned.
Big Tech has already built a reputation for shutting out right wing organization such as gun groups and mass migration skeptics.
On the civil liberties front, Big Tech is also dangerous because of its unprecedented ability to track people’s movements. Combined with a power-hungry government, Big Tech could form an unholy alliance with the sole focus of controlling people’s behavior.
For political elites, this could be a dream come true. But for everyday Americans, this would be a dystopian nightmare.

Zachary McCoy was preparing to leave for work at a restaurant in Gainesville , Florida .

WHOOPS: Amy Klobuchar Misspeaks Before Crowd by Saying She’ll be Joe Biden’s VP
While on the campaign trail advocating for former Vice President Joe Biden, Minnesota Senator and failed 2020 presidential hopeful Amy Klobuchar committed an embarrassing gaffe when she accidentally revealed to a crowd of Biden supporters that she would be part of the 2020 Democrat presidential ticket.
According to Amanda Golden of NBC News, Klobuchar had somewhat “of a Freudian slip” when the Minnesota Senator said she “couldn’t think of a better way to end my candidacy than join the ticket.”
Golden tweeted, “Bit of a Freudian slip…while stumping for @JoeBiden just now in Grand Rapids, MI @amyklobuchar says she “couldn’t think of a better way to end my candidacy than join the ticket…” to big applause. She quickly corrected to say ‘join the terrific campaign of Joe Biden’”

After making the statement, the crowd applauded Klobuchar. The Minnesota Senator, however, quickly retracted, and changed her comments to clarify that she was joining the “terrific campaign of Joe Biden,” not the Democrats’ presidential ticket.
Klobuchar dropped out of the 2020 right before Super Tuesday, quickly supporting Biden, which probably had an impact on former vice president’s victory in her home state of Minnesota.
Although the Biden campaign has not announced that they have a vice presidential candidate in line, Biden has told reporters before that he wants a woman on the ticket.
Regardless of who Biden chooses, the current Democrat Party is too culturally radical for any sensible American who wants to preserve traditional American liberties like gun rights and free speech.
This is one election where the Republican incumbent, President Donald Trump, is actually worth re-electing.


bigleaguepolitics--2020-03-09--Rep. Paul Gosar to Self-Quarantine After Coming Into Contact With CPAC Coronavirus Patient

The New Mexico supreme court has determined by a 4-1 decision to restore Republican Congressional candidate Anise Golden Morper to the ballot after the state ’ s liberal Secretary of State attempted to toss her from the 3rd District race .
New Mexico secretary of state Maggie Toulouse Oliver , a far-left Democrat , attempted to toss Morper from the ballot , alleging that Morper ’ s campaign used improper forms to collect signatures .
Morper maintained that her campaign used the forms printed off of the state website and was completely lawful in her conduct .
“ It ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they want to represent them .
Let ’ s leave it up to the voters , ” Morper said while the case was ongoing .
“ I believe that they have a fear that I can beat their Democrat nominee , and therefore they are attempting to remove me so I can not be a threat and there ’ s no chance for me to win this seat .
“ It ’ s unfair game playing .
If the field was equal , we would allow everyone ’ s petitions to be seen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” she added .
take our poll - story continues below The state supreme court found Morper ’ s arguments to be convincing , and they in turn ordered for the district court to vacate their previous order disqualifying Morper and entered in a new order directing the Secretary of State to allow her on the ballots .
Morper talked to Big League Politics about the challenges that have resulted from the Secretary of State attempting to torpedo her rising campaign .
“ In a way , it set me back , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ amazing the support I had , and to see the people that wanted their voices heard , ” she told Big League Politics .
“ It was bittersweet because I was moving in a certain direction and had to divert attention away from running my campaign , but it was more sweet than bitter because of the support of the people , ” she added .
Morper sees the fight as being more than about her campaign and having broader 1st Amendment implication .
She felt that all of the people who signed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the secretary of state ’ s unjust order that was overturned .
“ We have a right to petition the government , and that ’ s what this case was all about , ” she explained .
“ It wasn ’ t just me who won .
This was a victory for the 1st Amendment.
” Morper explained that this victory is emblematic of how she will successfully defend the rights of the people once she elected in Washington D.C. “ I am the strongest candidate .
I am the candidate that will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Constitutional rights of the people , ” she said .
Following the New Mexico supreme court ruling , Morper is back on the ballot for the 3rd Congressional race , which is an open seat due to the departure of influential Democrat Rep. Ben Ray Luján , who is running for U.S. Senate .
Morper ’ s GOP primary opponents include Navajo Nation member Karen Bedonie , cattle rancher Audra Brown , former Santa Fe County Commissioner Harry Montoya , and engineer Alexis Johnson .

Rep. Paul Gosar to Self-Quarantine After Coming Into Contact With CPAC Coronavirus Patient
Arizona Congressman Paul Gosar announced he will be personally self-quarantining after coming into contact with a person infected with the Chinese Coronavirus at last month’s CPAC conference.
Individuals who attended the conference have been receiving testing and evaluation for possible coronavirus symptoms, after it was revealed that an individual affected with the pandemic disease did in fact attend the conference.
Texas Senator Ted Cruz also announced he’s spending time at home, making sure that he doesn’t have the viral illness after coming into contact with the anonymous person who is infected.
Gosar’s contact with the coronavirus patient seems to have been more serious, as Cruz has clarified he only briefly interacted with the individual. His statement on the matter confirms he was in the presence of the individual for an “extended” period of time, and that he shook hands with him or her.
Three of Gosar’s staff members are also self-quarantining. None of them are currently experiencing any of the symptoms commonly demonstrated by Chinese Coronavirus patients, such as fatigue, fever and sore throat.
Italy today announced a public transportation and quarantine throughout several northern provinces of the country, demonstrating just how quickly the respiratory disease can spread. More than 16 million Italians will be locked down by the mass quarantine.
Fortunately, there probably isn’t any real cause for alarm. But Northern Arizona community members will keep their Prescott-area Representative in their thoughts all the while.

Border Authorities Catch 328 Chinese Nationals Illegally Trying to Enter the U.S.
The Washington Examiner reported that at least 328 Chinese nationals who attempted to enter the United States illegally since January have now been caught by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials.
This apprehension is part of an increased awareness effort on the border to keep the coronavirus from spreading into America.
According to official reports, 328 Chinese were “apprehended” and sent back across the border or repatriated in accordance with current policy and procedure. Additionally, another three South Korean nationals, where the virus is also spreading, were apprehended by border authorities.
About 227 foreign nationals from other countries who attempted to enter through legal border points from February 2 through March 3 have been turned back because of travel restrictions imposed by the president and carried out by the Department of Homeland Security, officials stated.
Previously, the White House announced travel restrictions for China, saying the U.S. would keep any foreign national who’s been in China within 14 days from entering the country.
Several agencies within the DHS’s umbrella have been incorporated in President Trump’s “whole of government” attack on the virus. Additionally, more than 700 officials have been assigned to these tasks.
Senior administration officials assert that President Trump’s emphasis on border policy, the new wall, and moves to keep illegal immigrants in Mexico while waiting for permission to enter the U.S., have helped keep the virus from spreading into the U.S., especially at the southern border.
However, Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf brought forth concerns about a court challenge to the Migrant Protection Protocols policy of keeping migrants in Mexico on March 3, 2020. The coronavirus has also spread to Mexico.
“MPP has an uncertain future. We know from experience that the journey to the U.S. border puts migrants in poor conditions — and they often arrive with no passports, medical histories, or travel manifests. The administration will continue to closely monitor the virus globally, as well as in our hemisphere, and will adjust our proactive measures as necessary,” he stated.
A senior administration official added: “We have a unique public health threat posed by individuals arriving unlawfully at the border. Any halting of MPP would exacerbate that threat.”
DHS acting Deputy Secretary Ken Cuccinelli declared, “The department’s top priority is the safety of the American people, and President Trump has directed an aggressive, coordinated interagency response to fulfill that mission.”
He told the Examiner: “The American people can be assured that we’re doing everything we can to protect our homeland. While the general risk to the American public remains low, DHS has mobilized a department-wide response to keep Americans safe, secure, and informed. Fortunately, we were able to engage DHS assistance early to prevent the spread of this virus in the U.S. We remain locked arm-in-arm with our interagency partners, HHS and CDC health professionals, and state and local officials acting as one to safeguard the health and safety of the American people.”
The Examiner provided stats for some the migrants caught so far:
Illegal immigrants apprehended at the southern border since Jan. 1:
China: 328
South Korea: 3
Foreign nationals refused at land ports of entry by CBP from Feb. 2 to March 3:
Canada: 113
China: 90
India: 9
Mexico: 6
Germany: 4
Bangladesh: 2
Japan: 2
Norway: 1
Singapore: 1
The coronavirus illustrates the importance of borders and a government’s willingness to enforce them.
Without proper border enforcement a country will destabilize and its citizens could suffer from potential pandemics and other types of crises that are magnified because of globalism.
