["Immigrants separated from their children after being arrested for illegally entering the U.S. at the Mexican border are being asked to choose between being deported alone or with their children."  Why in the world would we not deport the children with the adults who brought them in?  Is it because the kiddie importers may not be the kids' parents after all?  Then where is today's insane hew and cry about separating kids from arrested parents – a long practiced process for both American and illegals taken into custody?  Or are we now done with this topic?  gjr]

    Fox News is now on record as accusing Trump of smooching with Putin to destabilize NATO
    Fox News’ Shep Smith rips Trump NATO betrayal: ‘What Putin dreamed of for a long time’
    “On Fox News Monday, Associated Press reporter Lisa Lerer told Fox host Shepard Smith that the administration’s approach to NATO is sowing distrust and chaos among America’s allies.
    “The lack of trust in those communications, the Europeans don’t know who to talk to … the Trump Administration has fractured the alliance even more and made information hard to come by,” Lerer said.
    “Just as Vladimir Putin might have wanted it and dreamed of it for a long, long time,” Smith replied.”

    Punchy is unclear on the concept of words issued by people on newscasts not being the opinion of the broadcast licensee, but I suppose that means that anything he writes or says can be taken as policy statements by all the people at Victorian Mountain Radio. Perhaps they should be assembled and brought out into the open when their broadcast license is renewed.

    More bad news for the Mullahs –
    Germany remains committed to the nuclear non-proliferation agreement with Iran that was rejected by U.S. President Donald Trump, Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Monday, but it was for individual firms to decide if they wanted to invest there.
    Speaking alongside China’s Premier Li Keqiang, Merkel said companies, which could risk punitive sanctions from the U.S. if they do business with Iran, must decide for themselves if they wanted to take that risk.

    I see CNN is taking the news as well as expected. We all must pause and have a moment of silence for the two real victims here, aka. My Gal and Judge Garland.
    “After speaking with one of Judge Kavanaugh’s former clerks who gave personal insight into the nominee, Toobin interrupted and asked the panel to “think about two people who watched tonight… Brett Kavanaugh is a judge on the D.C. Circuit. You know who the chief judge of the D.C. Circuit is? It’s Merrick Garland. How do you think he feels today?”
    The second person Toobin wanted everyone to think about was Hillary Clinton. “I mean, Brett Kavanaugh made his name by investigating not just the Starr—not just Whitewater but the Monica Lewinsky part, the sexual details,” he bemoaned. “The tawdry, sorted, deep and dark stuff,” host Chris Cuomo added.”

    Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials say Contreras was supposed to be deported last year after getting arrested for drunk driving twice. Instead of being deported, though, the illegal alien was released back into the public after getting out of prison.
    As Breitbart News reported, four illegal aliens are alleged to have kidnapped and raped a 13-year-old girl and her 14-year-old sister at a Days Inn near Wooster Street in Bowling Green, Ohio.

    re PaulE’s arson – Arson is NOT arson, and terrorism is NOT terrorism, etc. Your clumsy effort here to draw on simplistic semantics is deplorably one-sided, i.e. when it suits leftwing ideals. While two separate acts of arson may come under the same legal code, each will be judged both de facto and de juris in light of their purpose and extenuating/mitigating factors.
    Asking someone whether they’re in favor of arson when referring to a specific case of arson does not further the discussion, and is simply a blatant attempt to get to a gotcha. Boring.

    ,,,for Rebane’s circle of confused,,, Kavanaugh needs to make up his mind,,,does he want anchor babies,,,or not,,,
    ”’Judge Kavanaugh’s dissenting opinion claims that the
    court has somehow broken new constitutional ground by
    authorizing “immediate abortion on demand” by “unlawful
    immigrant minors” (Judge Kavanaugh’s Dissent Op. 1). What
    new law? It cannot be J.D.’s status as an undocumented
    immigrant because the government has accepted that her status
    does not affect her constitutional right to an abortion, as Judge
    Kavanaugh’s opinion acknowledges on the next page (Dissent
    Op. 2). Accordingly, in this litigation, J.D., like other minors
    in the United States who satisfy state-approved procedures, is
    entitled under binding Supreme Court precedent to choose to
    terminate her pregnancy. See, e.g., Bellotti v. Baird, 443 U.S.
    622 (1979). The court’s opinion gives effect to that
    concession; it does not create a “radical” “new right” (Judge
    Kavanaugh Dissent Op. 1) by doing so.

    I would suggest that the fake newsman educate himself about the ranchers who were pardoned. They were illegally harassed by the feds for years because they had refused to sell out to the feds. When a wildfire approached their grazing land, it became apparent the feds were going to just let it burn. So – in desperation, they set a backfire to save some of the land. This was the pretext for the feds to charge them with arson and later even try to say that they had set the fire to cover up poaching, even though the feds had no evidence of any such thing. A pardon is the least Trump can do for these men. They had already served their sentence and then just to be vindictive, the feds hauled them back into prison for another term. So much for the Dems siding with the ‘working man’.
