Illegal Immigrant Accused Of Murdering Teen Girl Was DACA Recipient

Former President Barack Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program protected an illegal alien from being deported who went on to allegedly murder a teenage girl in South Carolina last week.

Authorities arrested and charged Daniel De Jesus Rangel Sherrer, 19, with first-degree murder of 18-year-old Diana Martinez-Gonzalez, who was found shot to death in a wooded area in Greenville County on October 4.

Sherrer was one of approximately 800,000 illegal aliens protected by DACA from deportation proceedings carried out by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) agents – as U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Public Affairs Officer Anita Rios Moore confirmed to the Daily Wire.

Greenville County Sheriff Will Lewis said at a press conference that it appeared as though the victim was forced into the woods following a fight with Sherrer and was then shot.

“Immediately upon contact he confessed to one of the deputies,” Lewis said.

According to Sherrer, he allegedly murdered Martinez-Gonzalez because she spread false rumors about him. He also held another girl captive who managed to...

With NFL Protests, Trump And Pence Prove The Right Can Win The Culture Wars

Pence and Trump didn't start the battle over the national anthem. But they may have just won the biggest current-day culture war in sports.

The left wanted to mix politics with sports right up until last Sunday, when Vice President Mike Pence left an Indianapolis Colts game at the sight of the kneeling players on both sides (the San Francisco 49ers are the most kneel-happy team in the league).

For years, sports media has enjoyed injecting politics into sports, but they didn’t seem to like Pence doing the same. Which suggests that their priority was never about covering the intersection of sports and politics, as they claimed, but rather the intersection of their politics and sports.

Sports fans, in large number, think of sports as solely entertainment and largely unifying. Sure, you may be a Clemson grad who hates all things Gamecocks, but for the most part, sports are what brings communities together for high school football, colleges together during NCAA Tournament runs, and diverse cities and entire regions together for pro sports success.

Everyone enjoys an inspiring story, and sports are chock-full of them. It can be the most uplifting part of your newspaper.

What disrupts our enjoyment of sports is divisiveness, but sports media has had no time for that complaint in recent years. This was another realm of culture to claim, so they’ve made things and more political, even against its better interests.
Sports Media Have Disdained Their Audience

In 2013, the National Journal studied 200,000 interviews and charted what sports fans liked, how they leaned politically, how many fans liked a certain sport, and how likely those fans were to vote.

The sports that skewed left were the WNBA, pro tennis, the NBA, soccer, pro wrestling, horse racing, UFC, and extreme sports. Only the NBA ranks among America’s most-watched sports.

Two were right on the line of bipartisanship: motocross and grand-am road racing (I don’t know what that is, and don’t care to look it up).

All other sports skewed right: the NFL, the MLB (the closest to the bipartisan line all these), college football, college basketball, NASCAR, rodeo, bull riding, drag racing, pro golf, IndyCary, high school sports, and the Olympics.

It would be wise to take this information into consideration, right? Maybe not preach liberal politics to right-leaning sports fans, particularly at a time when...

Unable so far to achieve even a partial rollback of Obamacare from Congress, President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday that could make it easier for some consumers to buy insurance across state lines—potentially increasing competition.

“The competition will be staggering,” Trump said before signing the order. “Insurance companies will be fighting to get every single person signed up, and you will be hopefully negotiating, negotiating, negotiating, and you’ll get such low prices for such great care.”

“Should have been done a long time ago, and it could have been done a long time ago,” he said.

Trump’s executive order primarily does three things:

Allows more small businesses to form associations to buy insurance plans, with the goal of creating more competition and expanding options across state lines.\

Reviews establishment of “short-term limited duration insurance,” which would not be subject to Obamacare’s expensive and comprehensive coverage regulations.

Makes it easier for businesses to offer health reimbursement accounts, to allow more employees of small businesses to get coverage through work.

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who opposed the recent Graham-Cassidy measure in the Senate to roll back Obamacare, heralded the executive order during the White House ceremony.

“President Trump is doing what I believe is the biggest free-market reform of health care in a generation. This reform, if it works and goes as planned, will allow millions of people to...
