    The intersectionality of White Supremacists and Leftinistas: baby killers and killing babies. Both supping from the same cup.
    “One need only do the barest amount of research to discover that Richard Spencer, a leading white supremacist, is highly supportive of legalized abortion, because, as he puts it, “the people who are having abortions are generally very often black or Hispanic or from very poor circumstances.” White women, Spencer notes, avail themselves of abortion “when you have a situation like Down Syndrome” — an acceptable use, in his twisted view. Meanwhile, Spencer says, “the unintelligent and blacks and Hispanics . . . use abortion as birth control.”
    “Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, wanted “to make the coming generation into such physically fit, mentally capable, socially alert individuals as are the ideal of a democracy.” In other words, she sought to improve the human race.
    “However, she faced an obstacle — the same one that so troubles Richard Spencer and his acolytes: “The feebleminded are notoriously prolific in reproduction,” wrote Sanger in Woman and the New Race. This would be a problem with a solution to which Sanger devoted her life’s work: controlling the birth rate, especially among the “unfit” (read: the poor, blacks, and Catholic immigrants).
    “Not only is Tribe wrong about white supremacists opposing abortion, then, but he ignores the eugenic roots of the pro-abortion movement. The earliest advocates of loosening restrictions on abortion were closely tied to the population-control movement, and many of today’s most vigorous abortion-rights organizations spend much of their time and resources pushing abortion and contraception on women in Africa who want none of it.”

    Ted Cruz Educates His Former Law Professor On Abortion After Professor Makes Claim About White Supremacy
    “My old con law prof, sadly, being deeply deceptive,” Cruz replied. “Abortion targets in particular minority women.”
    A slight correction,” Cruz said. “Although some cities (eg NYC) see over 50% abortion rates (in 2012-16 black mothers terminated 136,426 pregnancies [and] gave birth to 118,127 babies), nationally the total is just over 40%.”
    “This particular photo is an internet fabrication,” Cruz said. “What is TRUE is that in 1926 Sanger addressed the Women’s Auxiliary of the KKK in Silver Lake, [New Jersey] (she admits this in her autobiography).”
    Also, I’m pretty sure that guy in the front row [of Sagen addressing the KKK] is the guy from Ralph Northam’s yearbook,” he added, taking a dig at the embattled Virginia governor.

    Biden:
    “Front-runner Joe Biden, despite leading with the majority that doesn’t live online, is as susceptible as the rest. Given the renewed discussion about gun control, he had this to say on Thursday: “It violates no one’s Second Amendment rights to say you can’t own certain weapons. You’re not allowed to own a bazooka; you can’t own a flamethrower.”
    “There are several problems with this. First, it completely ignores the plight of Wile E. Coyote, for whom bazookas, explosives, and various rocket- and flame-powered devices procured from the Acme Corporation are integral to his quest to get the Roadrunner.
    “Second, it’s totally legal to own flamethrowers in every state in the union, with only a license required in Maryland and a modified nozzle for California purchases. Elon Musk’s Boring Company even sold 20,000 of them back in 2018.”

    The Trump administration’s new green-card rule could be ‘a backdoor’ to immigration reform, experts say
    Joseph Zeballos-Roig,Business Insider 6 hours ago
    The Trump administration announced a sweeping rule change on Monday to make it harder for immigrants using or deemed likely to use public benefits, such as food stamps, housing vouchers, and Medicaid, to obtain a green card and American citizenship.
    It was emblematic of the administration’s yearslong effort to erect additional bureaucratic hurdles in the US immigration process.
    Immigration experts say the change could help overhaul the nation’s immigration laws by prioritizing wealthier, better-educated immigrants over those with low incomes.

CA is a prime example of that. Regulation is a prime example of that has we have a whole class of renters that can’t afford the rent or buy a home. Education is a prime example of that as we have a whole generation of people who got worthless degrees with high debt…which of course means they can’t afford to buy a home and have no skills.

    The Public Charge Rule:
    “The newly finalized rule about immigrant welfare use is 837 pages long, but it boils down to two things: Foreigners who can’t pay their bills shouldn’t be allowed to move here, and “welfare” doesn’t just mean cash benefits.
    “As to the first: The first comprehensive immigration law at the federal level was the 1882 Immigration Act, which, among other things, excluded anyone who was “unable to take care of himself or herself without becoming a public charge.” That principle — the “public-charge doctrine,” as it’s called — has been included in all subsequent immigration legislation, including the 1996 immigration and welfare-reform laws.
    “But the exclusion of “public charges” didn’t start in the 19th century, but well before that, when immigration law was handled by the states. In fact, preventing the immigration of people who couldn’t support themselves was the subject of the very first immigration law ever passed in the colonies, in Massachusetts Bay in 1645. It’s not too much to say that the public-charge doctrine is the founding principle of American immigration policy. So those arguing for the admission of foreigners (other than refugees) who can’t earn enough to feed their own children without taxpayer subsidies are arguing for a radical break with 400 years of practice.
    “The second point involves a more recent issue. In 1996 Congress passed welfare-reform and immigration laws that sought to put more teeth in the existing public-charge rules. These measures had no lasting impact on the share of immigrants using welfare; within five years, the rate of immigration welfare use was right back where it had been before the changes. Today, some 63 percent of households headed by non-citizens use at least one welfare program, including an astonishing 80 percent of non-citizen households with children.
    “But a third reason may have been the Clinton administration’s dishonest definition of welfare. In order to minimize the impact of the Republican Congress’s 1996 changes, the Clinton administration issued guidance that barred consideration of anything other than cash benefits for purposes of determining self-sufficiency. In other words, an immigrant using food stamps, Medicaid, free school lunch, and public housing — but not cash benefits such as TANF or SSI — was to be considered self-supporting, and his welfare use would not affect his future green-card and visa applications.
    https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/08/immigrant-welfare-use-common-sense-rule/
    ————-
    A side effect of the new rule is that the left has abandoned its talking point that immigrants don’t use welfare. A report by the pro-immigration Migration Policy Institute that 47 percent of immigrants use benefits the new rule might apply to.
    ———————
    Of course CA would be the first to sue to block the new (old) rules. How dare we say that illegals who cannot afford to stay here should leave!

    Carving out the middle class: Medicaid for All
    As Haskins reveals, if the federal government is going to fully fund Medicare for All, the middle class and wealthy would likely need to bear nearly all of the increased tax burden required to cover its costs. In many cases, tax burdens would double, and for tens of millions of families, the increased taxes would far outweigh the financial benefits gained by not needing to pay for health insurance premiums and out-of-pocket costs.
    For example, in 2022, Haskins estimates Americans earning $50,000–$74,999 would likely need to pay on average $7,773 to $9,171 more in new taxes every year. Those earning $75,000–$100,000 would likely pay an astounding $12,915–$14,880 in increased federal taxes. That means Bernie’s plan would financially decimate many in the middle class.

    A survey conducted by academics at Iowa State University of farmers in Iowa, Illinois and Minnesota found that 57 percent somewhat or strongly support tariffs on Chinese goods, according to NBC News. Fourteen percent were neutral. Just 30 percent somewhat or strongly oppose the tariffs.
    The very high level of support for the tariffs is all the more striking because it is selflessly patriotic. Seventy-six percent of those surveyed say farmers will bear the brunt of the trade war. Just 14 percent say they will be better off because of the trade fight.
    U.S. agriculture exports to China plummeted from $19.5 billion in 2017 to just $9.2 billion in 2018. But overall farm exports rose slightly, suggesting that other countries have taken to buying products that China is avoiding.

    In exclusive footage captured by Breitbart News, protesters with Never Again Action, Miramar Circle of Protection Friends of Miami-Dade Detainees, Food Not Bombs Fort Lauderdale, Students Working for Equal Rights, and the Black Lives Matter Alliance of Broward County shouted threats at workers and former employees of the GEO Group, a private contractor used by ICE for facility and detention space.
    One protester specifically threatened GEO Group’s former general counsel John Bulfin, shouting the locations and addresses of where his children live in the United States.
    “We know where all your children live throughout the country … John Bulfin you have kids in [bleeped out], you have kids in [bleeped out],” the protester shouted. “We know everything about you and you won’t just be seeing us here.”
    “We know where you sleep at night,” another protester shouted. “We know what kind of dog food you buy your dogs.”
    “We’re not actually joking,” the protester said before shouting the location of where Bulfin lives. “John Bulfin you go to [bleeped out], you go to church on [bleeped out], you live on [bleeped out the] road. We are not joking.”
    The threats came just a day before gunmen allegedly fired shots into local ICE offices and GEO Group offices in San Antonio, Texas in what the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is describing as a “targeted attack.”
