Right to Due Process. How we solve this.
Yes, the illegals have most of the same Constitional rights as American citizens. But due process is a slippery slope. Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996. does allow this. Under the expedited removal process, immigrants who have been in the country illegally for less than two years and are apprehended within 100 miles of the border can be deported almost immediately without going through a court hearing.

The exception is asylum seekers, who must be granted a hearing. But you have many on the left are demamnding a full-blown trial for the millions of undocumented. Here’s how you fix that. Give it to them, but they must wait in their home country for that trial. Problem solved.

DC Court Bitch slaps local Federal Judge. Again.

DC Court Bitch slaps local Federal Judge. Again.

As you know, there is a low level of federal judges who are no more than traffic court judges. Well since January they have been making decisions and claiming that they are to be observed nation wide. Well Saturday a decision was made that may put a stop to this nationwide.

The DC Court of Appeals entered a stay of Lamberth’s injunction and suspended the first-instance decision, blocking the order that allowed them to return to work. The DC Court of Appeals entered a stay of Lamberth’s injunction and suspended the first-instance decision, blocking the order that allowed them to return to work. “The Court of Appeals decision is based on fundamental issue of “jurisdiction.”

Judge Lamberth made another fundamental error, as the Court of Appeals pointed out: that the district court lacked jurisdiction to restore grants because Congress gave that authority to the Court of Claims. The Court of Appeals also stated how the SCOTUS decision compels that result, yet Lamberth ignored the SCOTUS.

America's Heartland Commentary Crime January 6 Links from other news sources.

Is there finally justice for Ashli? Settlement in Principle Reached in Ashli Babbitt Lawsuit — The Young Woman Gunned Down in US Capitol on Jan. 6.

Ashli Babbitt, American patriot and victim of government violence.

Is there finally justice for Ashli? Settlement in Principle Reached in Ashli Babbitt Lawsuit — The Young Woman Gunned Down in US Capitol on Jan. 6.

After being unarmed and gunned down by a rogue cop with numerous citations in his file of incompetence, the family of Ashli has come to a settlement with the government.

The lawsuit extensively details the history of incompetence and multiple revocations of firearm privileges for previous dangerous incidents involving Officer Michael Byrd, the Capitol Police officer who murdered Babbitt in cold blood.

This includes a failure “to meet or complete semiannual firearms qualification requirements,” leaving a “loaded Glock 22—the same firearm he used to shoot and kill Ashli Babbitt – in a bathroom in the Capitol Visitor Center,” and a shooting into a moving vehicle stolen by teenagers, where the off-duty cop reportedly struck homes nearby with his bullets.

If true, off to jail. Sen. Grassley Releases Emails of Biden FBI Agents Plotting and Celebrating Peter Navarro’s Indictment.

On Thursday, Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) made public internal emails from Trump-hating FBI agents “planning and celebrating” the indictment of Trump advisor Dr. Peter Navarro. However, Grassley noted, when a criminal referral was issued for Nellie Ohr the FBI and DOJ chose not to press charges against her.

Nellie Ohr is a notable figure linked to Fusion GPS, a research and intelligence firm that played a crucial role in the creation of the infamous Steele dossier. This dossier contained allegations of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian officials during the 2016 presidential election. Steele dossier was actually written by a Russian Spy.

Is this a Federal crime? Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers’ guidance for dealing with ICE agents.

Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers calls on state employees to defy the US federal government and help illegal aliens avoid ICE.

Is this a Federal crime? Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers’ guidance for dealing with ICE agents.
Among the so-called “guidance” given to state workers: From CBS News.

Refuse to answer any questions, even about known individuals ICE is seeking.
Deny agents access to paper files and computers, even if they present a warrant.
Block agents from entering non-public areas, unless they produce a judicial warrant.
Demand agents sit in isolated public areas and force them to wait indefinitely while contacting attorneys.
Order agents to leave and return later if a state lawyer isn’t immediately reachable.

The Wisconsin Assembly last month passed a bill requiring county sheriffs to comply with federal immigration authorities. Evers has said he is likely to veto the measure.

Democrats introduced a competing proposal that would block state and local government officials from cooperating with federal deportation efforts unless there is a judicial warrant.

Why this is a good thing.Gen Z workers increasingly opt out of college and into the trades: ‘There are about 2 million fewer college students.

First that’s 2 million less protestors. But all kidding aside, these young folks are seeing that they not only can make as much if not more, but also are finding it easier to start their own business.

“Industries like construction, manufacturing, and trade, transportation, and utilities have had lower termination rates than sectors where many white collar workers are concentrated, like professional and business services,” he says.

And with Baby Boomers slowly exiting the workforce, more opportunities could open up. “As these folks age out,” says Tremper, “Gen Z workers are going to be able to move into a space where they’re building their own businesses, adding to the dynamism of the economy and really providing a lot more opportunity for themselves financially.”

Thousands of Members of the Amish Community Are Helping to Rebuild Western North Carolina.

Teamwork.

Thousands of Members of the Amish Community Are Helping to Rebuild Western North Carolina.

North Carolina is still reeling from the massive damage caused by Hurricane Helene last fall. While the cleanup and rebuilding has been slow and steady, there is still a ton of work to do.

One group that has stepped in to lend their tremendous building skills is the Amish community. There are currently thousands of Amish people, mainly from Pennsylvania, who are helping to rebuild in the western part of the state, where the most damage is.

The national media has completely ignored this amazing contribution from the Amish. These people deserve praise for their help.

Local NBC affiliate WCNC has reported on it:

‘We still see tremendous damage’ | Amish community becomes part of Chimney Rock’s comeback story

It’s been more than six months since Hurricane Helene swept through western North Carolina, leaving behind destruction and hardship. Few places were hit as hard as Chimney Rock Village, but now, signs of progress are everywhere.

The recovery effort has been powered by an outpouring of support, with volunteers and donations helping to restore the beloved mountain town.

“When we look around, we still see tremendous damage and realize it will take a long time to build back,” Mayor Peter O’Leary said. “But at the same time, we have made tremendous progress, and that is very encouraging.”

Chimney Rock Village is not just rebuilding, it is redefining itself. Every business in the village sustained some level of damage. While full recovery will take time, Chimney Rock is finding its footing again through the kindness of others.

“We come out here every morning, working mostly in Chimney Rock and in Bat Cave,” Amos Stoltzfus, a volunteer with an Amish community from Pennsylvania called Great Needs Trust, said.

The Amish are master builders. Just take a look at this:
