SCOFFLAWS: Radical Left 9th Circuit Forces Arizona to Grant Driver's Licenses to Illegal Aliens

By Daniel Horowitz

Over the past few weeks, we’ve highlighted the growing trend of judicial amnesty for illegal immigrants at the hands of unelected judges.  Among the many stories you won’t read in the mainstream media today is that the Ninth Circuit has just taken judicial amnesty a step further.  It has ratified Obama’s amnesty by forcing Arizona to grant driver’s licenses to recipients of the DACA amnesty – a complete violation of both national and state sovereignty.

America 1956 vs. America 2016

By Michael Snyder

Is America a better place today than it was back in 1956? Of course many Americans living right now couldn’t even imagine a world without cell phones, Facebook or cable television, but was life really so bad back then? 60 years ago, families would actually spend time on their front porches and people would actually have dinner with their neighbors. 60 years ago, cars were still cars, football was still football and it still meant something to be an American. In our country today, it is considered odd to greet someone as they are walking down the street, and if someone tries to be helpful it is usually because they want something from you. But things were very different in the middle of the last century. Men aspired to be gentlemen and women aspired to be ladies, and nobody had ever heard of “bling”, “sexting” or “twerking”. Of course life was far from perfect, but people actually had standards and they tried to live up to them.

So how did it all go so wrong?

GOOD NEWS: Obama Tells Landlords They Must Rent to Murderers, Rapists and Other Felons

By Blake Neff

The Obama administration released a warning Monday telling the nation’s landlords that it may be discriminatory for them to refuse to rent to those with criminal records.

The Fair Housing Act doesn’t include criminals as a protected class, but the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) says refusing to rent based on a criminal record is a form of racial discrimination, due to racial imbalances in the U.S. justice system [Editor's Note: perhaps someday HUD could examine "racial imbalances" in single-parent families].

The Iran Scandal and Obama's Consiglieri

By Wallace Bruschweiler

This past week, to our astonishment, we learned that the Obama administration is seriously considering further concessions to Iran, and allowing U.S. dollars to be used to facilitate trade with the terrorist-supporting regime.  Behind this latest concession - behind every action having to do with Iran, and for that matter most other actions of this so-called "Presidency" - we observe the power of a "consigliere," in name Valerie Jarrett.

Jarrett is the Iranian-born "Senior Advisor" to Barack Hussein Obama, but her true influence is akin to a "consigliere."  

LIFE UNDER THE FASCISTS: Senior Adviser Threatens GOP Delegates Who "Steal" Election From Trump

Well, this seems rather, eh, brown-shirty:

Roger Stone, a veteran Republican strategist and ally to Donald Trump, urged Trump supporters on Tuesday to hunt down any delegates who might try to deny him the nomination at the party's convention in July.

"We will disclose the hotels and the room numbers of those delegates who are directly involved in the steal," Stone said, referring to any attempts by rival campaigns to sway delegate votes away from Trump. "We'll tell you who the culprits are. We urge you to visit their hotel and find them."

Stone also called for any and all Trump supporters, who are not delegates, to gather at the convention in Cleveland where "we're going to have protests, demonstrations."

SCANDAL: V.A. Stiffing Doctors, Abusing Vets to End Challenge to Government Unions

By Luke Rosiak

A free-choice program implemented to get veterans crucial medical care is under siege because the Department of Veterans Affairs has not paid millions of dollars owed to the doctors providing it.

Now, the VA employee union, which opposes letting veterans get care outside their system in the first place, is citing VA employees’ failure as the reason to abort the fix.

Congress approved the Choice Card program in 2014 after a flood of media reports of veterans dying as VA facilities across the nation manipulated official data to conceal long delays in scheduling appointments.

UNEXPECTEDLY: Iran Caught Shipping Massive Weapons Cache to Yemeni Islamist Terrorists

By Investigative Project

A U.S. naval vessel intercepted a large Iranian weapons shipment, seizing massive quantities of arms and sophisticated weaponry destined for Yemen, the Pentagon announced Monday.

The seizure occurred in the Arabian Sea on March 28, officials said, marking the third interception of an Iranian weapons shipment in recent weeks. The ship was carrying 1,500 AK-47 rifles, 200 rocket-propelled grenade launchers, and 21 .50-caliber machine guns. They were en route to Houthi insurgents battling in Yemen's civil war at Iran's behest.

The U.S. Navy let the crew go after seizing the weapons, in line with current rules of engagement, according to a U.S. official speaking with Fox News.

OBAMA SCOTUS NOMINEE MERRICK GARLAND: Just another radical, leftist, antigun kook

By Institute for Legislative Action

Probably one of the earliest lessons most people learn in life is, “What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.” Nobody likes a hypocrite, and when you apply a standard to someone else, don’t expect much sympathy when that same standard gets applied to you.

Take Judge Merrick Garland, Barack Obama’s pick to replace Justice Scalia on the U.S. Supreme Court. We’ve heard a lot recently from the president’s cheerleaders about who Judge Garland is.

THE OBJECTIVE STANDARD: Ted Cruz for President

By Craig Biddle

I haven’t said much about the 2016 U.S. presidential race, and I probably won’t say much more about it after this article, as I want to focus on more fundamental philosophic issues. But I’d like to say a few words about why I unequivocally support Ted Cruz for president and why I think all liberty loving Americans should as well.

Although not all of Cruz’s ideas are grounded in reality, and although some of them are dangerously false, Cruz regards ideas as important, and he has a body of principles that guide his thinking on political matters. Chief among these is his recognition of the fact that the U.S. Constitution is, as he puts it, “the supreme law of the land” and that the job of the president is to uphold and enforce it. “I will defend the Constitution—all of it,” promises Cruz.

Of course, I and other lovers of liberty take issue with Cruz about what the Constitution means in certain areas and about how best to enforce it. But many of Cruz’s ideas in this regard are substantially if not entirely good. Here are some representative instances (all quotations are Cruz’s own words unless otherwise noted):

OBAMA'S WAR ON CHEAP ENERGY: Media Silent as America's Largest Coal Mines Begin Mass Layoffs

By Jennifer

America’s two largest coal mines each laid off 15 percent of their workforce -- 465 employees -- in one day.

Not one national news outlet ran the story. This travesty deserves national attention.

Barack Obama and his EPA are continuing their War on Coal and War on Jobs... and no one in America -- except the miners, their families, and their communities -- seems to care.

ENDLESS CONCESSIONS: How Barack Obama Continues to Empower the World's Most Dangerous Terror State

By Omri Ceren

For the last several weeks the administration has been working on a plan to provide Iran with new non-nuclear sanctions relief, above and beyond what's required under the nuclear deal. The new concession involves giving Iran access to the U.S. financial system and the U.S. dollar. Reporters started sniffing around the story mid-month, then the AP managed to confirm some of the details, then the administration publicly no-commented while privately leaking details to its validators, then finally this morning the AP locked down most of the rest of the plan [a].

And so coverage and analysis of the concession has been scattered across several weeks. Just to make sure you have everything (mostly) in one place, this how the story is playing as of this afternoon across politics, press, and policy.

SURPRISE! "Grassroots" Effort to Push $15 Minimum Wage Actually a Massive Astroturf Campaign Funded by SEIU

By Connor D. Wolf

Critics are pointing to a financial disclosure report as evidence that the self-proclaimed grassroots movement Fight for $15 was actually orchestrated by a major labor union.

The Fight for $15 movement has fought since 2012 to raise the national minimum wage to $15 an hour. The movement has seen several successes on the local level from across the country. It has been marketed as a grassroots rise of low-wage workers, but the movement is highly paid by the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), according to a recent federal expenditure report.

“SEIU’s latest financial disclosure once again exposes the remarkable degree to which the ‘Fight for $15’ campaign is bought and paid for by big labor bosses trying to stay relevant in the 21st century,” America Rising Squared Executive Director Brian Rogers said in a statement provided to The Daily Caller News Foundation.

Media Finding it Harder and Harder to Ignore Hillary's Metastasizing Scandals

By Roger Aronoff

Hillary Clinton’s email scandal keeps on growing, with new revelations that offer more justification for an indictment. Yet the mainstream media have long maintained that Mrs. Clinton is not the target of the two ongoing FBI investigations, and they seem very uninterested in the latest evidence to be revealed.

However, a grand jury may be forthcoming. “My sources tell me that the Justice Department is close to empaneling a grand jury and deciding whether to grant statutory immunity to Huma Abedin, Hillary’s closest adviser,” writes [1] Ed Klein for NewsMax. Klein is a former foreign editor of Newsweek, and was editor-in-chief of The New York Times Magazine from 1977 to 1987. “That things have gotten this far in the investigation indicates that FBI director James Comey is moving inexorably toward recommending to Attorney General Loretta Lynch that Hillary be indicted,” added Klein.

CON ARTISTS: How the Democrat Party Eviscerated the Black Family Unit

By Crystal Wright; adapted from her book Con Job: How Democrats Gave Us Crime, Sanctuary Cities, Abortion Profiteering, and Racial Division.

It’s well known how in 1965 Daniel Patrick Moynihan, assistant secretary of labor to Democrat President Johnson, warned that the black family was on the verge of a “complete breakdown” because of growing illegitimacy rates: in 1963 the out-of-wedlock birth rate for whites was 3 percent, and for blacks it was 23.6 percent.

Moynihan was part of a generation of Democrats who cared about lifting blacks up into the ranks of equal opportunity with whites, back in the days before the Democrat Party became completely morally corrupt.

THE NOOSE TIGHTENS: Second Judge Grants Discovery in Hillary's Ever-Expanding Email Scandal

By Tyler Durden

There have been some interesting developments in the Hillary Clinton e-mail saga over the past two weeks.

In response to an FOIA request, conservative legal advocacy group Judicial Watch obtained documents which seem to show that Clinton was well aware her BlackBerry wasn’t secure from the very beginning of her tenure as the nation’s top diplomat. Correspondence between Senior Coordinator for Security Infrastructure Donald Reid, long-time Clinton aide Cheryl Mills and the NSA suggests the former First Lady had become “addicted” to her BlackBerry and essentially refused to use the secure desktop computer provided to her by security officials.

THANKS, OBAMA AND HILLARY! Escaped Women Describe Their Horrific Lives Under ISIS Rule

By Michaela Whitton

A group of activists, bloggers, and filmmakers are raising their voices against the propaganda machine of the Islamic State (ISIS) by sharing personal stories of those who have experienced the group’s terror first hand.

The self-declared caliphate’s recruitment strategy promises a fantastic life under their control to those wanting to serve what they consider to be a noble cause. To counter the fictitious and sensationalist propaganda, the Open Your Eyes movement exposes the reality of life under the Islamic State with the aim of showing potential new recruits they are actually joining a death cult — and that what they are being told is lies.

JUSTICE CLARENCE THOMAS: Why are Americans' Second Amendment Rights So Easily Ripped Away?

By George Leef

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas had not asked a question during oral arguments since 2006 when, during the arguments in Voisine v. United States on February 29, he posed a question to the government’s counsel, Assistant to the Solicitor General Ilana Eisenstein.

Immediately, the anti-Thomas press, always eager to portray the justice as a clueless incompetent (after all, he rejects most of the leftist notions about the role of government), indulged in nasty headlines such as “It Speaks!” Imagine the furor if a leftist icon were called “it.”

Exactly what is Voisine about and what did Justice Thomas ask?

SECRET ALLIANCE: George Soros and Donald Trump

By Jen Kuznicki

Not only has Trump funded open borders politicians like Schumer, Durbin, McCain, Graham and Menendez, but he’s also been bailed out by George Soros.

Trump actually spent Christmas Eve with George Soros in 2009, according to the New York Post.  But hey, billionaires gotta stick together, you know?  Nevermind that Soros is for a One World Order, an anti-Zionist and an anti-constitutional funder of all things unholy.

The funder of all things unholy also funded the Trump Tower in Chicago. According to the Chicago Tribune:
