Why ICE OUT Makes NO Sense Whatsoever!

And, sadly, another MUST READ story: 

This is Matthew Carney. He was 42 years old. An ILLEGAL was stealing tools from Carneys pickup truck outside of the restaurant he owned. Carney came out confronted him and attempted to stop him. He then proceeded to drive into Matthew, who was critically injured and later died. The ILLEGAL was also wanted on an outstanding auto theft warrant. These are the people Democrats protest FOR. They don't care about their victims. And sadly, these defenders of those who are here illegally also include Catholic bishops and pastors.

Carney was beloved in Nashville by patrons of his restaurant and everyone who knew him.

From WZTV in Nashville: "ICE confirms a man accused of killing a popular restaurant owner is an illegal immigrant. Court records show he has had a previous run in with the law in Davidson County, but somehow his immigration status failed to raise red flags.

"Ulises Raigoz-Martinez was charged with the death of Smokin Thighs owner Matthew Carney after he died on July 4 from a hit-and-run crash at his restaurant. That hit and run happened on June 19, according to police.

"Now Martinez faces several charges including criminal homicide."

A Statement From The Secretary Of The Treasury

Trump Outlines Plan After Supreme Court Ruling

From the President of the United States:

The Supreme Court’s Ruling on TARIFFS is deeply disappointing! I am ashamed of certain Members of the Court for not having the Courage to do what is right for our Country. I would like to thank and congratulate Justices Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaugh for your Strength, Wisdom, and Love of our Country, which is right now very proud of you. When you read the dissenting opinions, there is no way that anyone can argue against them. Foreign Countries that have been ripping us off for years are ecstatic, and dancing in the streets — But they won’t be dancing for long! The Democrats on the Court are thrilled, but they will automatically vote “NO” against ANYTHING that makes America Strong and Healthy Again. They, also, are a Disgrace to our Nation. Others think they’re being “politically correct,” which has happened before, far too often, with certain Members of this Court when, in fact, they’re just FOOLS and “LAPDOGS” for the RINOS and Radical Left Democrats and, not that this should have anything to do with it, very unpatriotic, and disloyal to the Constitution. It is my opinion that the Court has been swayed by Foreign Interests, and a Political Movement that is far smaller than people would think — But obnoxious, ignorant, and loud!
 
This was an important case to me, more as a symbol of Economic and National Security, than anything else. The Good News is that there are methods, practices, Statutes, and other Authorities, as recognized by the entire Court and Congress, that are even stronger than the IEEPA TARIFFS, available to me as President of the United States of America and, in actuality, I was very modest in my “ask” of other Countries and Businesses because I wanted to do nothing that could sway the decision that has been rendered by the Court.
 
I have very effectively utilized TARIFFS over the past year to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. Our Stock Market has just recently broken the 50,000 mark on the DOW and, simultaneously, 7,000 on the S&P, two numbers that everybody thought, upon our Landslide Election Victory, could not be attained until the very end of my Administration — Four years! TARIFFS have, likewise, been used to end five of the eight Wars that I settled, have given us Great National Security and, together with our Strong Border, reduced Fentanyl coming into our Country by 30%, when I use them as a penalty against Countries illegally sending this poison to us. All of those TARIFFS remain, but other alternatives will now be used to replace the ones that the Court incorrectly rejected.

To show you how ridiculous the opinion is, the Court said that I’m not allowed to charge even $1 DOLLAR to any Country under IEEPA, I assume to protect other Countries, not the United States which they should be interested in protecting — But I am allowed to cut off any and all Trade or Business with that same Country, even imposing a Foreign Country destroying embargo, and do anything else I want to do to them — How nonsensical is that? They are saying that I have the absolute right to license, but not the right to charge a license fee. What license has ever been issued without the right to charge a fee? But now the Court has given me the unquestioned right to ban all sorts of things from coming into our Country, a much more powerful Right than many people thought we had.
 
Our Country is the “HOTTEST” anywhere in the World, but now, I am going in a different direction, which is even stronger than our original choice. As Justice Kavanaugh wrote in his Dissent:
 
“Although I firmly disagree with the Court's holding today, the decision might not substantially constrain a President's ability to order tariffs going forward. That is because numerous other federal statutes authorize the President to impose tariffs and might justify most (if not all) of the tariffs issued in this case...Those statutes include, for example, the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (Section 232); the Trade Act of 1974 (Sections 122, 201, and 301); and the Tariff Act of 1930 (Section 338).”
 
Thank you Justice Kavanaugh!
 
In actuality, while I am sure they did not mean to do so, the Supreme Court’s decision today made a President’s ability to both regulate Trade, and impose TARIFFS, more powerful and crystal clear, rather than less. There will no longer be any doubt, and the Income coming in, and the protection of our Companies and Country, will actually increase because of this decision. Based on longstanding Law and Hundreds of Victories to the contrary, the Supreme Court did not overrule TARIFFS, they merely overruled a particular use of IEEPA TARIFFS. The ability to block, embargo, restrict, license, or impose any other condition on a Foreign Country’s ability to conduct Trade with the United States under IEEPA, has been fully confirmed by this decision. In order to protect our Country, a President can actually charge more TARIFFS than I was charging in the past under the various other TARIFF authorities, which have also been confirmed, and fully allowed.
 
Therefore, effective immediately, all National Security TARIFFS, Section 232 and existing Section 301 TARIFFS, remain in place, and in full force and effect. Today I will sign an Order to impose a 10% GLOBAL TARIFF, under Section 122, over and above our normal TARIFFS already being charged, and we are also initiating several Section 301 and other Investigations to protect our Country from unfair Trading practices. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
 
PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump Economy: Shore Rentals Picking Up This Year!

Nah, Sherrill Ain't Freezin' YOUR Utility Bills!

By Matt Rooney at Save Jersey (reposted with permission):

Let’s face it: thousands of New Jerseyans voted for Mikie Sherrill last November because they actually, truly believed that she was going to “freeze” their skyrocketing utility bills. Nothing Sherrill has accomplished over the last few weeks suggests she’s serious about helping the New Jerseyans who literally pay the bills.

On Tuesday, the Sherrill Administration announced that it is initiating a pilot program funded by the American Water Charitable Foundation. The plan? “[P]rovide 1,250 New Jersey families enrolled in the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program – primarily in Camden County – to receive a one-time $200 grant to help pay their utility bills.”

“My Administration is committed to exploring every option at our disposal to drive down utility costs for New Jersey families,” said Governor Mikie Sherrill. “This pilot program targeting WIC enrollees is a great example of the innovative solutions we are bringing to our mission of delivering direct relief for those most in need.”

God bless EBT card users, Save Jerseyans, but once again, the struggling middle class isn’t priority #1 for Trenton’s generosity:

Here’s another angle that many critics haven’t touched:

As Trenton has readily admitted, “immigration status” does NOT affect WIC eligibility:

Since the families will be “randomly selected,” there doesn’t appear to be any guarantee that illegal aliens won’t receive help with their utility bills before YOU do.

Is this what you voted for?

ICE Is Doing The Right Thing In NJ!


 

A Special Message From President Trump . . .

Today, the First Lady and I join the millions of Christians in the United States and around the world in observing Ash Wednesday—a solemn day of prayer and repentance and the beginning of the Lenten season.

Every Ash Wednesday, Christians receive ashes in the shape of a cross on their foreheads as a visible reminder of our belonging to Jesus Christ and our enduring need for penance. For the next 40 days, in remembrance of Jesus’ 40 days of temptation in the desert, followers of Christ will pray, fast, and give alms to deepen their faith, reflect on His redeeming Passion and death, and prepare their hearts for the coming Easter miracle.

As the holy season of Lent begins, we are reminded that the practices of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving have been foundational to our strength from the earliest days of our national story. From the Colonists who turned to prayer and fasting in the heart of the Revolutionary War to the unmatched compassion and generosity of America’s churches, hospitals, and charitable institutions, these righteous acts of faith over the centuries have always stood at the center of our identity, our heritage, and our way of life.

This Ash Wednesday, as we remember the Passion and ultimate sacrifice of Christ on the cross, we send our best wishes for a meaningful Lenten season. Above all, as we prepare for the triumphant resurrection of Jesus Christ on Easter Sunday—the greatest miracle in the history of mankind—we pause to remember those sacred words: “This is the time of fulfillment. The Kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the Gospel.”, the First Lady and I join the millions of Christians in the United States and around the world in observing Ash Wednesday—a solemn day of prayer and repentance and the beginning of the Lenten season.
