Pennacchio: Nanny's Murder Demands Action Now!

New Jersey State Senator Joe Pennacchio (R-26) called for immediate legislative hearings in response to news of the rape and murder of a New Jersey nanny, Carolina Cano, by an illegal immigrant. This comes in the wake of the State Attorney General’s “Sanctuary State” directive, which when into effect last month:

“A nanny was brutally strangled, raped, and tossed into a New Jersey lake by someone who shouldn’t even have been in the country in the first place,” Pennacchio said. “The administration’s dangerous Sanctuary State policy encourages illegal immigrants to seek harbor within our state’s borders.

“My legislation would ensure local law enforcement cooperate with federal authorities to stop these criminals from putting our residents in danger. For the safety of our families, I am calling for immediate legislative hearings to assess these alarming policies. We cannot turn a blind eye to those who have no respect for U.S. law or the sanctity of human life.”

In an effort to combat the NJ Attorney General’s Sanctuary State policies, Senator Pennacchio recently introduced legislation, S-3572, to ensure illegal immigrants who have been convicted or are fleeing a sex crime charge from another country are required to register under Megan’s Law when they are apprehended in New Jersey.

The bill also states that if local police are unable to confirm the legal immigration status of a convicted sex offender, they must notify and cooperate with the appropriate federal authority.

Under Attorney General Grewal’s 2018 “New Jersey Immigrant Trust Directive,” commonly referred to as the Sanctuary State directive, law enforcement is not required to cooperate with federal immigration authorities under any circumstances, even in cases where an illegal immigrant has been convicted of a sex crime or murder on U.S. soil. The directive was issued late last year, and went into effect on March 15, 2019.

Pennacchio noted that his legislation would have required local law enforcement to cooperate with federal authorities in this case. Under the present law and the Attorney General’s directive, cooperation between the two would be optional.

“Sanctuary State policies undermine the effectiveness of law enforcement and put our communities in harm’s way,” Pennacchio said. “The rape and murder of Carolina Cano was a completely preventable tragedy. If your first act in entering our country is breaking the law, you should be placed in the hands of federal authorities. Period. Full Stop.”

Watch -- Then Tell Us It's Not A Crisis . . .

Congressional Democrats claim that replacing existing barriers on our southern border isn’t necessary. Maybe they haven't seen how these old fence sections actually work. In just one example, on December 22, smugglers pushed a group of adults and children through a hole in the Sanchez Canal border infrastructure—an area of the wall that’s partially underwater. These smugglers profit off thousands of children brought along by adults on this terrifying journey.    🎬  Watch: Smugglers push children underwater to cross the border The Trump Administration is treating the crisis on our southern border as the true national emergency that it is. Last night, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen explained how U.S. law enforcement has broken up so-called “child recycling rings,” a horrid practice where smugglers kidnap children, give them to adults to cross the border posing as a family, and pass them back to other illegal immigrants, repeating the process. “The smugglers . . . they are sicker than we have ever seen before,” Secretary Nielsen says. Meanwhile, border apprehensions are skyrocketing, and U.S. facilities are overwhelmed. In February, more than 76,000 people crossed the border without authorization, the highest number in more than a decade. Today, we are quickly approaching a new era of 100,000 or more illegal immigrants apprehended per month. A long-term solution can come only from Congress, but the Trump Administration is using the full extent of its executive authority to address the immediate crisis. This week, the Department of Homeland Security announced that 750 personnel would be temporarily reassigned to the southwest border. “We are doing everything we can to simply avoid a tragedy in a CBP facility,” U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin McAleenan says. President Trump is also using his presidential authority to properly enforce the immigration laws passed—and then ignored—by Congress. His national emergency declaration allocates up to $3.6 billion for barrier construction along our southwest border. That’s good, because the state of America’s border is a disgrace for a modern republic. Breaking: Illegal immigrant arrested on 100+ child sex crime charges

The new NATO under President Trump Yesterday, President Trump welcomed NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg to the White House, commemorating tomorrow’s 70th anniversary of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. “Over the past two years, the Secretary General and I have developed a very strong working relationship. It’s been as good as it can be,” the President said yesterday. “We’re both committed to ensuring that NATO can address the full range of threats facing the Alliance today.”  From day one, President Trump promised that America would no longer foot the bill for NATO while other countries shirked their obligations. The message to our allies in Europe was simple: They should care about our collective security just as much as the United States does. Message received. Since 2016, our NATO allies have added more than $40 billion in defense investments. By 2020, that figure will reach $100 billion. Watch: President Trump meets with the Secretary General of NATO

Uncle Joe Explains It All: 'It's A Good Thing!'

Social norms are changing. I understand that, and I’ve heard what these women are saying. Politics to me has always been about making connections, but I will be more mindful about respecting personal space in the future. That’s my responsibility and I will meet it. pic.twitter.com/Ya2mf5ODts

— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) April 3, 2019

It's a sort of cozy, fireside chat with Uncle Joe.
It seems straightforward and unrehearsed as Joe tries to catch up with the 21st century.
Two observations: His up-to-the-minute cobalt blue suit notwithstanding, Joe looks old in this video -- really old. Doubtless, they wanted this to be a natural, authentic looking take with soft, gentle lighting, But Joe Biden is an old man who's seen and been through an awful lot, and it shows.
Second, Donald Trump comes across as younger, sharper and crisper in such appearances. There's no "worn out" look about Donald Trump because he's a former TV star who's had the best people tending to his image and because he's got good instincts when it comes to such matters. What's more, Trump's delivery is nimble and usually flawless. His voice is strong and he doesn't hesitate when making his points.
You'll notice that the camera never moves in too close on Biden. Presumably, they feared making this look too slick. OK, but that compromises the intimacy of the piece.
Finally, when Uncle Joe says "it's a good thing" and repeats the phrase again, all we could think of is Martha Stewart.
Will this video put the matter to rest?
Maybe -- if there are no more objections raised by additional women.

Was He Really Trying To 'Cop A Feel' -- Or What?

We always knew it as copping a feel.
That's what generations before ours called it and what we learned to call it as we grew into adulthood.
It's a subtle touching or grazing of someone else's anatomy in the hopes of "felling them up" preferably at or near the sexual organs.
One has to wonder if this is what Joe Biden has been trying to do, or has been thinking about doing, or coming close to doing all this time.
Because it sure as hell looks like the coward's version of copping a feel -- sort of like: "Let me see what I can get away with . . . let me see how far I can go . . . "
When you think about it, it's really rather pathetic. And now the guy's in his 70s.  Yuck!
Now, we're not even sure whether "copping a feel" means anything at all to millennials. For them, we suppose, it's all about invading space or awkward or inappropriate behavior or however they choose to term it.
In movies of a certain era, we've all seen the scene where a guy stretches his arms over the back of a chair while yawning. And maybe touching the back of that chair meant grazing the shoulder of a gal he'd been longing to touch. And if the gal doesn't object, that's a big first step toward the ultimate goal.
But what was Biden's motive?
Remember, most if not all of this grazing, hugging, whispering, squeezing, breathing and touching was done not just in public but also under bright lights and in front of cameras. Which is to say it was done in the most obvious sort of public, mass-media environment. And it was documented.
Did Biden get a thrill out of that?
Did that make it more exciting for him?
Or did he feel the mass exposure would give him a strange set of cover? "Oh, that's not what he was doing. He would never do something like that in such an obviously public moment!"
And didn't it occur to Uncle Joe that the women in question (or little girls, as the case may be) would in some way indicate their displeasure through their body language and/or facial expressions?
In short, what was he thinking?
Your guess is as good as ours.

Presenting The Democrat Party Platform For 2020!

How Radical Can Dems Get? Outrageously Radical!

From our friends at Save Jersey (reprinted with permission)
Note - The "today" referenced in this article was yesterday, April 3:

No less than eight current 2020 Democrat presidential candidates are visiting the Warner Theater in Washington D.C. for today’s “We the People” summit.

According to Fox News, the conference of far-left activists opened with Jamal Watkins, Vice President of “Civic Engagement” for the NAACP, leading attendees in a chant of “We have nothing to lose but our chains.” That slogan is associated with notorious cop-killer Joanne Chesimard who murdered New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster on the New Jersey Turnpike back in 1973.

Chesimard is presently hiding in Cuba despite her conviction in absentia.

NJSP Colonel Patrick Callahan issued a fiery statement after the Fox story broke.

“It is an affront to every man and woman who wears the badge that someone would chose to evoke the words of a convicted cop killer and fugitive from justice at a political conference,” said Callahan. “The men and women of the New Jersey State Police will never forget the sacrifice made by Trooper Werner Foerster on May 2, 1973 nor will we forget that the person convicted of his murder remains a fugitive for nearly 40 years. We will remain steadfast, both in the pursuit of Joanne Chesimard and in the preservation of the memory of Trooper Werner Foerster, Badge #2608.”

Notwithstanding her heinous history, Chesimard remains a pop culture icon in certain Leftist circles, having been honored by both the Women’s March and, later, Jet Blue before the airline giant apologized.

Obama's Own Border Control Chief Supports Trump!

Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen announced yesterday that more than 750 U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers will be temporarily reassigned to America’s southwest border. “The situation at our southern border has gone from a crisis to near system-wide meltdown,” the Secretary wrote yesterday. While President Donald J. Trump has taken action to address our national emergency at the border, Congressional Democrats still refuse to acknowledge a problem even exists—much less present any serious plan to address it. They should listen to Mark Morgan, head of the U.S. Border Patrol under former President Obama.    🎬  Watch: Obama Border Patrol Chief on America’s asylum crisis The problem starts with glaring loopholes in America’s immigration laws, particularly those governing the asylum process. The intelligence shows that most asylum-seekers “are coming here for two reasons,” Morgan says. “Economic equality and family reunification. They are not fleeing persecution or violence, and the stats show that.” But it gets worse. “The incentives to come here are overwhelming,” he says. “They’re willing to take this dangerous trek because they know: Grab a kid, set one foot on American soil, and you’re allowed . . . to remain here unchecked.”  No modern immigration system should function that way. “The crisis at our border is worsening, and DHS will do everything in its power to end it,” Secretary Nielsen says. “We will not stand idly by while Congress fails to act yet again, so all options are on the table.” Immigration official: We are facing an unprecedented crisis.

A message on World Autism Awareness Day “On World Autism Awareness Day, we honor the millions of Americans living with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), who, in spite of the challenges they may face, continue to make extraordinary contributions to their families, their communities, our Nation, and the world,” President Trump writes in his Proclamation this week. “We also express our sincere appreciation to the families, friends, medical professionals, and caregivers who help Americans with ASD pursue the American Dream.” As a country, it’s crucial that we continue to support all Americans with ASD. The Trump Administration has secured funding for cutting-edge research while enhancing all available resources and treatments to help both those affected by ASD and their families, communities, and caregivers.   “Today, we celebrate the tremendous accomplishments of Americans with ASD and reaffirm our commitment to work together to ensure that every member of our society is afforded equal opportunities to reach their full potential.” Read President Trump’s Proclamation for Autism Awareness Day.

Video of the day: First Lady takes ‘Be Best’ to Florida

First Lady Melania Trump visits with students at West Gate Elementary School.

Last week, First Lady Melania Trump took time to visit with students at West Gate Elementary School in Palm Beach, Florida. Dovetailing with the First Lady’s Be Best initiative, the school offers a unique program specifically designed to eliminate bullying in the classroom. The First Lady has placed a heavy emphasis on the well-being of children, and she continually highlights programs that live up to this calling. West Gate Elementary School commits itself to removing bullying from the learning environment by setting aside time for biweekly meetings between teachers and students. The goal of their program is to develop strong emotional intelligence through peer-to-peer interactions. “I believe it is important for schools to focus on the overall well-being of our youngest citizens, which will help them develop in their earliest years so that they can reach their full potential as our next generation,” the First Lady said.

And Now, Let's Get To The Nut Of The Matter . . .

For 22 months, Democrats said there was “actual evidence” of collusion. Their principle Russia narrative was not truthful or credible.

Is Biden Bid Kaput? Two More Women Accuse!

Two more women have accused former Vice President Joe Biden of touching them inappropriately at events, bringing the total number of women who have complained publicly about the prospective 2020 Democratic candidate to four.
