Omar Calls For Advertisers To Boycott Tucker Carlson After He Tells Her Immigration Story
“Probably no person in this country has benefited more from American generosity than Ilhan Omar. Instead of being grateful, though, she’s bitter.
“She hates this country. It says a lot about our current immigration system,” Carlson said in describing how the refugee became a representative,” he said.
“In fact the United States is the kindest, most open-minded place on the country. The U.S. Has done more for other people and receive less in return than any nation in history by five.
“Americans like to help. It makes us feel good. Some of our deepest satisfaction as a country comes from watching penniless immigrants arriving on our shores, buy into our values, and thrive.
“Recall the American dream and nothing makes us prouder. It was in that spirit that a 1992, the United States welcomed 10-year-old Ilhan Omar and her family.
“Omar was born in Somalia, one of the world’s poorest countries, then ruled by a Marxist military dictatorship. When she was six, she and her parents and siblings fled a...
How a Record-Breaking Economy Is Helping Those Who Need It Most
The U.S. economy is in the midst of the longest economic expansion in our history—more than 10 years of consecutive growth.
The climb out of the Great Recession has been prolonged and strengthened by pro-growth policies, such as tax cuts and deregulation.
Rolling back those reforms or burdening workers with new restrictions would present the biggest threats to continued prosperity for American workers.
The strong U.S. economy continues to offer new opportunities to people who have historically been left behind.
Average wages have grown above 3% for 10 straight months—twice as fast as inflation. And since the tax cuts of 2017, wage growth for the poorest 25% of workers has reached post-recession highs of 4.4%.
In the most recent data from the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, the highest-income workers’ wages are growing at a more modest rate, more than a percentage point lower than those of low-wage workers.
June’s unemployment rate remains close to its 50-year low at 3.7%, and the 224,000 jobs created last month is more than double the number needed to keep pace with population growth and demographic change.
For Americans who want a job, they are readily available. June’s employment numbers were particularly good for African Americans, with the rate dropping to 6%, nearing the historic 2018 low of 5.9%. Women, Hispanics, and workers without a college degree are seeing similar trends.
Previously unemployed Hispanic and black working-age women are finding jobs faster than any other demographic group.
Washington politicians don’t have the ability to create jobs or long-run opportunity. When they try, they most often fail. However, as we are seeing today, when Washington takes even a small step back, businesses thrive, and the prosperity is shared with working Americans.
On the other hand, proposals such as a national $15-an-hour minimum wage could wipe out close to all the jobs gains over the past year, according to...
Previously Deported Illegal Alien MS-13 Member Gets 17 For Years for Discussing Racketeering Conspiracy During Prison Calls With Clique Leader
Nelson Cruz Rodriguez Cartagena, a/k/a “Inquieto,” 25, a Salvadoran national illegally residing in Everett, was sentenced to 17 years in prison and three years of supervised release. Rodriguez will be subject to deportation proceedings upon completion of his sentence.
In April 2019, Rodriguez pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to conduct enterprise affairs through a pattern of racketeering activity, commonly referred to as RICO conspiracy. Rodriguez was arrested in Everett after law enforcement determined that he had reentered the United States after having been deported in 2016.
Rodriguez is a full member, or “homeboy,” in MS-13’s Everett Locos Salvatrucha (ELS) clique. On recorded prison calls with a detained ELS clique leader, Rodriguez discussed buying guns for the ELS clique; maintaining and supervising the clique’s marijuana trafficking business; the need to collect dues from clique members; the need to send money to MS-13 leaders in El Salvador due on the 13th of each month; and reporting on the clique’s day-to-day racketeering activities. When the clique leader began to suspect that a member of the ELS clique had cooperated with...
DEVASTATING: Video Shows 'Battery' Trump Was Accused Of Committing by Former Campaign Staffer Alva Johnson
On Wednesday, Trump's lawyer released video of the interaction showing they both appeared to have air kissed each other on the cheek:
This staffer said Trump grabbed her by the shoulders and forcibly kissed her at a campaign event. She is now suing Trump for "violating norms of decency."— Boomieleaks (@notwokieleaks) July 11, 2019
Someone else captured this video, just released tonight.
The instance seems to have been greatly mischaracterized. pic.twitter.com/qAxJjPyrnN
From Politico:
Trump’s attorneys posted the 15-second video online Wednesday and cited it in pleadings filed with a federal judge handling a lawsuit Johnson filed in February claiming trauma from the interaction with Trump. Johnson also claimed that sex and racial discrimination impacted her pay while working as...
