There is no depth to your single-minded absurdity. I don't you know if you know this, but there hasn't been a bill that addressed a single issue since George Washington was in diapers. I mean, the Inflation Reduction Act allocated $8 billion for cow fart studies.


And since it's all so very entertaining for us, I'll reframe your crazy response above as an equally ridiculous argument.

FATE: "I love microwaves, they heat things up in a jiffy!"
Pitty: "Only that's not what they do.................. they drive up your electric bill!"

See how that works? Both things can be true. Only problem is you said my statement was false.

That's troll tactic #4329


This bill 100% could allow organizations receiving millions in taxpayer dollars to hide from scrutiny by labeling any critical filming as "harassment".

If the "reporter" doesn't take down the post, they can be fined $10,000.


And the sad irony of your ICE statement points to the rampant disfunction with you lefties... ICE should take their masks off so they can be doxxed and their families assaulted, but criminals should have new laws passed to give them every possible shred of immunity. You know, punish the ones enforcing the law, reward the ones that shred it.

Only that's not what it does..................

Assembly Bill 2624, authored by Assemblymember Mia Bonta, D-Oakland, would exempt records that include an employee’s name, address, employment history and other identifiable information from public records law to avoid those employees being doxxed or harassed, according to a legislative analysis.

You know, the way ICE does?

There is no depth to what you will post in your trolling these days.

Can't make it up. These lefties LOVE themselves some fraud. The answer? Outlaw investigative journalism!

Since this is a SCOTUS thread I thought I would just post this here. I'm wondering how anyone who espouses this kind of BS over the public airwaves could ever be an impartial juror on the SCOTUS?.............

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas blasts progressivism as threat to America

He said values in the Declaration of Independence have "fallen out of favor."

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas on Wednesday delivered a televised broadside against progressivism, a political philosophy he described as an existential threat to America and the principles that founded it 250 years ago.

“Progressivism seeks to replace the basic premises of the Declaration of Independence and hence our form of government,” Thomas said in a speech at the University of Texas Austin Law School pegged to the nation’s upcoming milestone birthday.

A spirit of “cynicism, rejection, hostility and animus” toward America -- by Americans -- has taken hold, Thomas said in remarks carried live on CSPAN.

Thomas, the Supreme Court’s senior conservative member, spoke broadly, not referencing specific contemporary events or political figures to make his case. But his comments come at a critical time for the sharply divided country and the Court.

He said that the values enshrined in the 1776 Declaration of Independence have “fallen out of favor” among Americans -- a trend perpetrated, he argued, by “intellectuals” and the nation’s colleges and universities.

Thomas also said he believes many people no longer believe “all men are created equal” and deserving of “unalienable rights” protected by a limited government.

“[Progressivism] holds that our rights and our dignities come not from God, but from government,” he said. “It requires of the people a subservience and weakness incompatible with a constitution premised on the transcendent origin of our rights.”

The 77-year-old justice was appointed by Republican President George H.W. Bush in 1991 and is one of the longest-serving justices in history. He is a staunch conservative and has been a reliable vote in favor of the Trump administration's positions in cases.

Thomas said Washington has been overrun by elected and appointed officials who lack commitment to “righteous cause, to traditional morality, to national defense, to free enterprise, to religious piety or to the original meaning of the Constitution.”

“They recast themselves as Institutionalists, pragmatists or thoughtful moderates, all as a way of justifying their failures to themselves, their consciences, and their country,” he said.

Thomas called on Americans to stand up for their principles and endure personal "sacrifices," if necessary, to preserve the nation's democracy.

“In my view, we must find in ourselves that same level of courage that the signers of the Declaration have so that we can do for our future what they did for theirs,” he said.

Iran declares Strait of Hormuz ‘completely open’ for remainder of truce

A 10-day pause in fighting between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon could help pave the way for a deal with Tehran.

Here's the latest
• Strait of Hormuz: Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says the vital trade chokepoint is now open to all commercial vessels for the remaining period of the truce, adding that this is in line with the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire.

• Ceasefire in effect: A 10-day truce in Lebanon appears to be holding despite the Lebanese army accusing Israel of violations. Israel said its forces would not withdraw from southern Lebanon, and Iran-backed Hezbollah warned it would only abide by the truce if Israeli attacks stopped.

• Diplomacy push: US President Donald Trump said a White House meeting between Israel and Lebanon could take place within two weeks. The conflict with Hezbollah has been a key sticking point in negotiations on the war with Iran. Trump also voiced confidence that a deal with Tehran will come soon, saying talks could happen this weekend.

• Israeli embassy: British police are investigating after an unnamed group said it would target the Israeli embassy in London with drones carrying dangerous substances.

Guardians rookie Parker Messick has no-hit bid broken up in 9th inning of 4-2 win over Orioles

Updated: Apr 16, 2026, 11:19 pm

CLEVELAND -- — Parker Messick took a no-hitter into the ninth inning, José Ramírez homered for the third time in four games and the Cleveland Guardians opened a seven-game homestand with a 4-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday night.

Making his 11th major league start, Messick (3-0) faced one batter more than the minimum through eight innings before Leody Taveras led off the ninth with a grounder that just eluded diving second baseman Juan Brito and went into right field for a single.

Blaze Alexander followed with a line-drive single to center before the rookie left-hander was removed to a standing ovation from the crowd of 14,748.

Taylor Ward's single off closer Cade Smith loaded the bases, and Gunnar Henderson's sacrifice fly drove in Taveras. Pete Alonso hit an RBI double that put runners at second and third with one out.

Smith then retired pinch-hitter Colton Cowser on a fly to center and Samuel Basallo on a grounder for his fourth save.

The 25-year-old Messick walked two and equaled a career best with nine strikeouts. He was charged with two runs in eight-plus innings, his longest outing in the majors. He threw 112 pitches, 78 for strikes.

The most recent no-hitter in the majors was Sept. 4, 2024, when Shota Imanaga and two Chicago Cubs relievers combined to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 12-0 at Wrigley Field.

Cleveland has the longest current gap between no-hitters. The team’s last one was Len Barker’s perfect game on May 15, 1981, against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Chase DeLauter walked in the first and Ramírez drove a first-pitch fastball from Shane Baz (0-2) into the right-center stands to give Cleveland a 2-0 lead.

Steven Kwan hit an RBI single in the fifth and George Valera added a run-scoring single in the sixth.

AC/DC.......Hells Bells

I fell for the crap that all those people are dead??

I fell for the crap that all those networks chose not to report it or minimize it??

Do you read anything before during or after you foam at the mouth? Anything??

Again, SEEK HELP.

You are full of it.. They exaggerate those stats.. Fox and Newmax and others lie to you by talking about folks like Sheriday Gorman, truly sad but no typical


Near as I can tell, they do this to garner favor with Trump and his supporters....

Here...

There is no definitive, comprehensive national database tracking the total number of Americans killed by undocumented immigrants, making an exact figure unavailable. While specific, high-profile cases exist, studies often show that undocumented immigrants are less likely to commit violent crimes, including homicide, compared to native-born Americans, according to reports from the Cato Institute and American Immigration Council.
Key Data Points and Context:

Texas Data (2013-2022): A Cato Institute analysis of Texas data found that the homicide conviction rate for illegal immigrants was lower than that of native-born Americans. In 2022, there were 67 homicide convictions for illegal immigrants in Texas, compared to 1,209 for native-born citizens.
Homicide Rates: A study looking at 2012-2018 data found the arrest rate for homicide was 1.9 per 100,000 for undocumented immigrants, compared to 4.8 per 100,000 for U.S.-born citizens.
Debunked Claims: Claims that tens of thousands of Americans are murdered annually by illegal immigrants are often described as unsupported by research, says a Politifact fact-check.
Victim Support: The federal government operates the Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement (VOICE) Office to assist families of those killed by individuals in the country illegally.

While instances of homicide by undocumented immigrants occur, empirical data suggests they are not disproportionately represented in such crimes, according to a report by Policing Institute.

There is plenty of other data out there. If you don't like my source, Get up off your butt and look for it.


Main Stream media like NBC and ABC don't cater to Trump and his loyalists... CBS used to be that way until they were taken over by a Trump financier and I think the Big Daddy to JD Vance.


I can't believe you fell for this crap... AMAZING

It is BY FAR, more likely that a citizen kills more than a Alien.... BY A HUGE MARGIN....

Dumb as a box of rocks.

DNA? You haven't even shown so much as a shred of evidence. None, zilch, nada. Then claim someone else is dumb as a box of rocks because they don't believe a baseless accusation?

As I said earlier, every accusation you make is a confession. You just confessed.

Please explain what "common sense" you are using to arrive at your conclusion. Don't worry I'll wait......

Try taking some medication for that.

With all of your bluster and trump like rambling you still have nothing. Just a bag of noise.

No, I can't. You know why? I have no DNA evidence. That's your criteria of proof on everything you want to argue about.

Ironically, when you want to argue for your own cause you'll frequently site things like "common sense" or call others gullible. We could all watch a car crash, live, and you would argue that it's possible it was an illusion or we are all experiencing mass hypnosis. I actually think it may have a mental disorder. Have you ever been screened?

To be blunt; if you don't think they were having a relationship you are literally dumb as a box of rocks.

So now that trump is mad at the Pope he takes it out on innocent children. That's who this guy is and who he has always been. A disgusting piece of human flesh who is more than willing to hurt the innocent in his thirst for revenge.......

Trump administration funding cut threatens future of Catholic Charities program for migrant children in Miami

The Trump administration has canceled an $11 million federal contract that helps shelter and care for migrant children who enter the United States without a parent or legal guardian — putting a decades-long program in South Florida at risk of shutting down within months.

The decision affects Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Miami, which has provided services to unaccompanied minors for more than 60 years. Church officials say the sudden loss of funding could force the organization to end its operations tied to migrant children within three months.

The move comes amid broader tensions between President Donald Trump and Pope Leo XIV, the first American pontiff, over issues including migration. However, Miami Archbishop Thomas Wenski indicated the situation is ultimately about federal funding decisions and how resources are allocated.

South Florida parishioners express their disappointment over the funding cut

Speaking to CBS News Miami, Father Federico Capdepon expressed frustration and disappointment over the cancellation.

"I feel very sad, disappointed," Capdepon said. "The children that we have helped for so many, many years, to cancel abruptly $11 million for helping migrants, I think is totally unacceptable."

Capdepon, who led Mass at Corpus Christi Church in Miami on Wednesday, said the funding cut could have immediate consequences for vulnerable children who rely on these services.

Parishioner Jenniffer de Jesus Sanchez echoed similar concerns.

"This is disgraceful because the children are a creation of God. They are sons of God," Sanchez said.

The archbishop speaks out about the cuts to our news partners at the Miami Herald

Wenski, who was not available for comment on the funding cut, addressed the broader impact of such programs in a recent opinion article shared with the Miami Herald. In it, he pointed to the historical success of government partnerships with Catholic Charities, referencing Operation Pedro Pan, which brought thousands of unaccompanied Cuban children to the United States in the '60s.

"The positive impact of this cooperation between the federal government and Catholic Charities can be readily seen in the lives of former Pedro Pan children," Wenski wrote. "Who, through this intervention, grew up to be successful members of our communities."

He also warned that the current funding decision could end a long-standing support system for vulnerable youth.

"Our track record in serving this vulnerable population is unmatched. Yet, the Archdiocese of Miami's Catholic Charities' services for unaccompanied minors have been stripped of funding and will be forced to shut down within three months," Wenski added.

For years, the Office of Refugee Resettlement, part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, has contracted Catholic Charities in Miami to provide housing and care for migrant children arriving alone at the border. According to church officials, the federal government notified the organization in late March that the funding would be terminated.

Capdepon said the consequences extend beyond politics.

"It's very sad that this is happening, that the poor, the migrants that we are helping are paying the price for what's going on in our country," he said.

The Archdiocese of Miami announced it will hold a press conference on Thursday afternoon to address the situation and discuss whether there are any alternatives to continue the program.

I think that is in the Trump Bible that was brought to you by Dr. Jesus. I'm pretty sure that's the only Bible Kegsbreath reads.

And then there is the "war crusader" Pete Hegseth who quotes the "Biblical verse" from Pulp Fiction.

Pete Fiction

Quentin Tarantino must be having a field day today...

I think we could alleviate a lot of this by removing trolls from the internet but that's not going to happen.

I get it. That's how you wish to portray pointing out the ignorance of your post about the "liberal media".

Pay attention for a change FATE. Nothing in any of your posts even indicate this is true while you keep throwing your tantrum.


Can you show anywhere in all of your ramblings that Christine Fang was Swalwell's mistress? No you can't. You obviously don't even know what you're trying to defend here. Typical trumpian.

The pride/trans/woke community seems to be becoming super-famous in the child sex and mass shooting arenas.

I think we can alleviate a lot of the issue by letting woke teachers help them to explore their optional genders in kindergarten.
