Title 42: The Flood

 Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, of the Department of Homeland Security, has publicly stated that Title 42 is “driven by the public health imperative. It is not a tool of immigration. It is a tool of public health to protect not only the American people but the migrants themselves.”

Immigration 101: What is Title 42? (rootlaw.com)    "Title 42 is part of U.S. health law, specifically Section 262 of U.S. Code Title 42 which prohibits entry into the United States when the Director for Disease Control believes “there is a serious danger to the introduction of [a communicable] disease into the United States.” The rule allows any customs officers—which includes officers of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) such as Border Patrol agents—to implement any such order issued by the CDC.

"The CDC order does not apply to U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, and their spouses and children, nor does it apply to U.S. military personnel or those who arrive at a port of entry with valid travel documents, although the CDC maintains that it has the authority to expel U.S. citizens under Title 42 if it chooses. The rule also includes an exemption for anyone that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) determines should be allowed into the United States on “consideration of significant law enforcement, officer and public safety, humanitarian, and public health interests.' ”. . .

Record-Shattering Illegal Border Crossings Likely to Start After Biden Revokes Title 42 | CNSNews  "President Joe Biden is about to blow open the floodgates on illegal immigration at the border, and the governor of Texas is vowing to push back.

“ 'To help local officials whose communities are being overwhelmed by hordes of illegal immigrants who are being dropped off by the administration, Texas is providing charter buses to send these illegal immigrants who have been dropped off by the Biden administration to Washington, D.C.,” Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said at a Wednesday press conference.

"That may not resolve the issue, but at least it sends a message to Washington that this is a Washington-caused crisis that’s becoming intolerable for beleaguered border states.". . .

Media Go Wild for Child-Porn Friendly Judge

You want consistency? Read your own statements from a few years ago on the GIGANTIC difference in confirming someone to an appeals court and making a “big decision to promote him to a big job for life.” 


 Ann Coulter  "These were Google’s top headlines this week about the hearings on President Biden’s Supreme Court nominee, Ketanji Brown Jackson:

" 'White House chief of staff Ron Klain hits back at Sen. Ted Cruz — Business Insider, April 4, 2022

" 'Cory Booker demolishes GOP attempts to smear Ketanji Brown — Washington Post, April 5, 2022

" 'Lindsey Graham Throws An Impotent S–T Fit Over Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Supreme Court Nomination — Vanity Fair, April 4, 2022

" '(I can trust the media, right?)

"The hit-back consisted of the following: Ted Cruz said KBJ would be “the most extreme” justice on the court, and — get ready for the snappy comeback — Klain said that “nothing” in Jackson’s record “supports this assertion.”

" 'Thank God for our free press and the reporters who dig up stories like this!

"Sen. Booker DEMOLISHED Republicans (you can always trust the “Watch so-and-so DEMOLISH” headlines), according to Jennifer Rubin of the Post, with this biting rejoinder: “Sen. Cory Booker had heard enough. [HERE IT COMES!] … Booker compared Jackson’s confirmation hearings to the ‘Festivus’ holiday from the sitcom ‘Seinfeld.’ ‘There’s been a lot of airing of grievances.’”

" 'And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what we call, “DEMOLISHED.' ”. . .

Go Woke, Go Broke: Huge Number of Americans Dropping Disney for Radical Position on Parental Rights Bill


"However, a new survey shows that almost seven of ten Americans reject the radical position being pushed by Disney."

Go Woke, Go Broke: Huge Number of Americans Dropping Disney for Radical Position on Parental Rights Bill – RedState

"Disney is a powerful company but they may have just stepped in it big time with their position over a parents’ rights bill that they falsely call the “Don’t Say Gay” law in Florida.

"The law doesn’t say anything about “don’t say gay.” Indeed it doesn’t mention “gay” at all.

The legislative text of the House version of the bill reads, ‘Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.’ [….]

"That’s what folks on the left have been freaking out about for weeks? It’s no wonder that parents are for it — and why people once they look at the language — are questioning what’s on the agenda of the left with this.

"The crazy videos that have been posted by people, including teachers of young children, have been troubling, eye-opening, and reveal the nature of the problem — from a teacher who would tell students that she’s a gender-fluid witch to a teacher who tells students that when people are born, doctors “guess” whether they are boys or girls and sometimes they make mistakes.". . .

Disney Releases ‘Gayest Kids Movie Yet,’ Produced Long Before Florida Grooming Controversy

 Disney Releases 'Gayest Kids Movie Yet,' Produced Long Before Anti-Grooming Controversy (breitbart.com)  "

The film’s director, Tim Federle, also noted that the film was specifically intended to further the LGBTQ agenda, and recently celebrated Disney’s high rating from the radical LGBTQ organization, GLAAD.

 "Disney has released what has been described as the “gayest kid’s movie yet,” as it continues to pay fealty to radical queer activists with its attacks on Florida’s anti-grooming law that gives parents a say in their children’s education.

"This month, Disney+ released a musical comedy aimed at pre-teens titled Better Nate Than Ever. The movie features 13-year-old Nate (Rueby Wood) who is upset about losing the audition for his high school musical and who goes on a trip to New York City with dreams of winning a part in a Broadway play."

"While the movie never affixes the label of “gay” to its young star, according to the Daily Beast, the movie is an homage to every gay kid who loves stage plays and musicals.

“ 'Better Nate Than Ever, which just may be the most gay-positive and encouraging youth programming that Disney has ever released,” the Beast reported on Friday.

"Rueby Wood, the film’s 15-year-old star, is frequently seen in gender-bending garb. At the film’s premier, he wore a black frock festooned with a colorful rock necklace, fruit-tart finger rings, and colorful, long fake fingernails.". .  



I Asked What My Daughter Would Learn in Kindergarten. Then the Teachers Union Sued Me.

 I Asked What My Daughter Would Learn in Kindergarten. Then the Teachers Union Sued Me. (townhall.com)



"I’m just like any parent—when I enrolled my daughter in kindergarten, I wanted to know what she would learn. In response, our school district bullied, harassed, defamed, evaded, and stonewalled me. Then the teachers union sued me. I left public school because I no longer felt safe but I’m still taking action to get answers.

Kindergarten is a precious milestone. Our babies are not babies anymore: They go to school for full days. Parents want to know their children are safe at school, and they want to feel confident that their children are receiving a quality education. I knew many public schools across the country have been politicizing lessons, so I called my principal in the South Kingstown School District in Rhode Island to ask if they teach concepts of Critical Race Theory or gender theory. That question and the events that followed changed my life.

"The principal said they don’t call children “boys” and “girls,” and teachers embed values of gender theory into classroom lessons. They ask kindergartners, “What could have been done differently on Thanksgiving?” How can five-year-olds answer such a bizarre question that shames them for their American heritage? The principal told me these were “common practices” but could not define a “common practice” or tell me when these “practices” originated. Now I wanted to know these “common practices” and the educational pedagogy supporting them, but the school refused to answer my questions.

"Instead, my school did everything in its power to evade me. The school told me to submit public record requests, but when I submitted what they considered to be too many requests, the school publicly threatened to sue me. They held a special public meeting to target me and treated me as if I were on trial. There, they publicized my public record requests and my personal emails. They allowed community members to speak in support of me or against me, and one woman whom I’ve never met turned directly to me and called me racist. The school even hired a PR firm to smear me in the national media. Later, the local teachers’ union had a meeting with 250 teachers where they put my name and picture on slides characterizing me as “threat to public education.” Two months later, the Rhode Island branch of the National Education Association filed a frivolous lawsuit against me to silence me and send a message to other parents that they could be punished for asking questions too.

Big-guy Biden brings "Build Back Badder"

Biden: the choice of celebrities everywhere.

 Jen Psaki's schtick is to respond with "give me the names of people who are poorer today".

www.terrellaftermath.com

"Almost everyone in America is getting poorer thanks to the inflationary wave kicked off by Joe Biden taking office and immediately clamping down on energy production, which set off a continuing cycle of price rises to compensate for increased costs.

"People filling their gas tanks or buying food already are changing their habits and lowering their standard of living.  The classic question Ronald Reagan asked voters, "Are you better off now...?," has a resounding answer — "No!" — only 14 months into the Biden presidency.  Reagan was running against Jimmy Carter, during whose presidency Americans last had the experience of inflation remotely comparable to what we endure now.". . .


. . ."But Jen Paski's rhetoric about the "Putin price hike" isn't finding many takers, even at left-wing outlets like CNN.  Perhaps they realize that people have been buying gasoline and food all throughout 2021 and early 2022 before any war in Ukraine and can recognize propaganda BS when they hear it.". . .

Acceleration: Consumer price index hits highest annual inflation rate since 1981 – HotAir


. . ."The worst level of inflation in 40 years managed to get even worse in March. The consumer-price index rose 8.5% year-on-year, the worst since December 1981 — when inflation had begun to decelerate. Instead, the CPI’s internals suggest that inflation has only begun to accelerate.

 After a gang shooting, who should be deprived of guns? - American Thinker

. . ."Sacramento sheriff Scott Jones has already blamed the loss of lives on April 3 on soft-on-crime California policies that "treat criminals like victims."  The Biden administration, however, will not demand stronger prosecution, or increased sentences, for those guilty of murder, assault with a deadly weapon, and illegal possession of firearms.  Like all good leftists, it will instead call for even more of what are meaninglessly termed "commonsense gun laws": the elimination of certain types of rifles and pistols (most developed a century or more ago) and further prohibitions on the ownership or carry of all firearms by the law-abiding for self-defense.  The administration will attempt to curtail the sales of gun parts and sub-assemblies, alleging that their lack of serial numbers appeals to criminals who assemble them into "ghost guns."  Alas, criminals have all the black-market guns they need.

"None of this will stop crime.  The people affected by the new legislation the administration will propose very rarely commit crimes.  Their intent is to protect themselves from violence by the most effective means available: the private ownership and carry of a weapon.  They obey the law.  They dutifully undergo background checks, apply for permits, and take training courses as required.  They present no threat to the public.

"Like the armed citizens of any free nation, they do present a threat to those with designs on freedom.  It is for that reason that they, not criminals, have legislative targets on their backs."
