Due Process is for American citizens! The media and the dems twisted this. Now, let's discuss Due Process for RED FLAG LAWS! | |||

| Laugh or Die |
I recently saw a quote referencing the 4th amendment regarding that it doesn't specify that you have to be an American citizen for the constitution to apply to you. It applies to everybody. It struck me as phenomenal considering that the second amendment says the exact same thing and wouldn't you just know it, they never make that same argument there. ________________________________________________ | |||

Due Process under the Constitution applies to all persons within the United States, citizens and non-citizens alike, including those here illegally. You can look it up, as I did. | |||

Besides USAID there was another big agency targeted for shutdown by DOGE. I want to check its status on the web, but can’t remember its name. Could use some help for that. Thanks. Some two-bit judge is likely trying to prevent its shutdown. Serious about crackers. | |||

Trump Signs Orders Ending DEI in University Accreditation, Requiring Foreign Gift Disclosure The list includes foreign donation disclosure requirements at universities and an end to ’restorative justice' practices in public schools. Trump Signs Orders Ending DEI in University Accreditation, Requiring Foreign Gift Disclosure President Donald Trump displays a signed executive order titled "Reinstating Commonsense School Discipline Policies" in the Oval Office at the White House on April 23, 2025. President Donald Trump on April 23 announced additional education reform measures that he said will promote transparency and meritocracy over diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives; boost technology and innovation; and improve learning environments. During the signing ceremony and news conference in his office, he was flanked by Education Secretary Linda McMahon, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, and several disabled military veterans. The first executive order, “Transparency Regarding Foreign Influence at American Universities,” requires higher education institutions to disclose donors’ nation of origin and other information. The president did not disclose the rules for compliance. Trump accused his predecessor, President Joe Biden, of allowing China and Qatar to funnel billions of dollars to U.S. universities, stealing taxpayer-funded intellectual property, and using American schools to host foreign propaganda. The second executive order signed April 23 called for ending DEI in the accreditation of colleges and universities. In a statement issued after the ceremony, the Department of Education said it will work to include new accrediting agencies in the process and push existing accreditors to focus on lowering college costs, foster innovation, and deliver a high-quality education. Under the 1965 Higher Education Act, college majors are required to be accredited in order to get federal money for research, student Pell grants, and other functions. While the agencies that evaluate college and university programs and issue the certifications are independent nonprofit agencies, the U.S. government accredits. “The existing accreditation monopoly raises costs, contributes to the ever-increasing tuition and fees faced by American families, favors legacy four-year institutions, blocks new accreditors from the market, interferes with states’ governing board decisions, and pushes universities in ideological directions when they should be focused on core subjects,” McMahon said in the statement. “The result is more bureaucracy, less innovation, sprawling DEI administrative complexes, and burdensome oversight by unaccountable accreditors rather than state education leaders and duly appointed governing board members.” In an email response to The Epoch Times, Council for Higher Education Accreditation President Cynthia Jackson-Hammond said Trump’s actions undermine a long-established system for assuring the quality of college and university programs of study. “Institutions are capable of fulfilling their missions and are consistently incorporating innovation to provide the best possible experiences for students,” Jackson-Hammond said. “When there is a shortfall in outcomes, accreditors work with institutions to establish benchmarks for achievements. The relationship between institutions and accrediting organizations is one of trust and responsible actions. The public respects this relationship, and it should not be diminished without thoughtful consideration and due diligence.” The third order reaffirmed Trump’s commitment to supporting historically black colleges and universities. The fourth order called for a strong federal commitment to supporting artificial intelligence as a learning tool in public education. “That’s a big deal,” Trump said. “We have trillions of dollars today invested in AI.” The fifth order challenges learning institutions and employers to create 1 million new apprenticeships to boost the U.S. workforce. “We’re going to remake that American dream,” Lutnick said. The final order calls for an end to “restorative justice” policies at public schools. Focused on diversity ideology, the restorative justice approach promotes alternatives to traditional discipline methods such as suspensions and expulsions. Annette Albright, a former teacher from Charlotte, North Carolina, who was present at the signing ceremony, applauded the measure and thanked Trump for giving teachers back control of the classroom. She noted school shootings and other violent incidents in her district that happened after school officials continually failed to discipline troublemakers. “Public schools have to be safe environments,” she said. https://www.theepochtimes.com/...ng-education-5846598 | |||

Chinese Exporters Begin to Feel Pain of Tariffs as Containers Stack Up With up to 245 percent U.S. tariffs, Chinese manufacturers are losing orders from foreign buyers and trying to find ways to offload their goods. China’s exporters are scrambling to find domestic buyers for their consumer goods as orders from the United States have dried up during an escalating trade war. On Chinese social media platforms, exporters joined the domestic direct-to-consumer livestream market, attempting to offload products that were initially meant for foreign customers. Some factories have slowed or halted production. A raft of China’s e-commerce giants launched plans to help exporters pivot toward domestic markets, but some experts say China’s domestic consumers won’t be able to fill the gap. If the trade war persists, “the damage to the Chinese economy will be far greater than the impact to the U.S. economy,” U.S.-based China affairs commentator Wang He told The Epoch Times. On April 9, U.S. President Donald Trump hiked the reciprocal tariff rate on most Chinese products to 125 percent. A White House fact sheet published on April 15 noted that the latest increase meant some Chinese products now face U.S. tariffs of up to 245 percent. The rate includes a 20 percent tariff that Trump previously announced, as well as Section 301 tariffs of up to 100 percent that had been imposed during the Biden administration. Beijing retaliated on April 11, raising tariffs on U.S. imports from 84 percent to 125 percent. According to Chinese financial publication Caixin, by April 10, there were almost no U.S.-bound container ships at ports in Shanghai, and containers that didn’t make it before the deadline were left stranded. https://www.theepochtimes.com/...&ea_med=desktop_newsThis message has been edited.

^^^^ Typical size of a flag for this height of pole would be 30-feet in length of the fly end by 20-feet in the hoist end (20’ x 30’). Official size ratio is 1 x 1.9 (i.e. 5’ x 9.5’—burial flag size). The 15-star Star Spangled Banner over Ft McHenry was 30’ x 42’. --------------------- DJT-45/47 MAGA !!!!!

I aways thought it was kind of strange that the WH never had a proper flagpole, only the one attached to the roof. Can't wait for Trump to start trolling the Left with maybe a Don't Tread On Me or Appeal To Heaven flag flying from one of those poles. Why not? Didn't Joe Biden bathe the WH in gay rainbow floodlights? | |||

Two more outstanding Maryland men. Bet this gets zero MSM attention. Two Illegal Aliens Arrested After Young Mother Found Murdered in Maryland Woods https://slaynews.com/news/two-...ign=daily-newsletter  Authorities have arrested two illegal aliens who have been charged with the murder of a woman who was found dead in a forest in Maryland. The Charles County Sheriff’s Office in Maryland announced that two Guatemalan nationals have been charged over the death of 23-year-old Lesbia Mileth Ramirez Guerra. 24-year-old Keycy Robinson Alexi Barrera-Rosa was charged with murdering Guerra, his girlfriend. Barrera-Rosa’s uncle, 37-year-old Rolvin Eduardo Barrera-Barrera, was charged as an accessory. Deputies said Guerra’s body was found on April 17. She has been missing since March 31. Guerra’s body was found lazily buried in a “heavily wooded area” of the forest just outside of Cedarville State Forest in Prince George’s County, Maryland. Officials said Guerra was the mother of two young children. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said its agents arrested Barrera-Rosa on April 5 in La Plata, Maryland. ICE confirmed that Barrera-Rosa and Barrera-Barrera had both entered the country illegally and are originally from Guatemala. According to immigration officials, Barrera-Rosa and Barrera-Barrera were apprehended on April 10, 2019, near El Paso, Texas. They were served notices to appear before a Department of Justice (DOJ) immigration judge at the time. ICE placed an immigration detainer on Barrera-Barrera with the Charles County Detention Center after he was arrested. Barrera-Rosa is being held by the agency at its Farmville Detention Center in Farmville, Virginia, ICE said. He currently awaits extradition to the Charles County Detention Center for the murder charge. According to FOX 5, the sheriff’s office found suspicious and unusual activity at Guerra’s home just one day after she was last seen. During their investigation, authorities found fake federal documents belonging to Barrera-Rosa. Vernon Liggins, ICE Baltimore acting field office director, said this “marks a significant step toward justice.” “This heinous crime not only devastated a community but also reinforced the urgent need to prioritize public safety by identifying, arresting, and removing egregious illegal aliens who threaten our neighborhoods,” Liggins said. “ICE will continue to work tirelessly, side by side with our law enforcement partners, to safeguard our communities and uphold the rule of law.” In a statement, Charles County Sheriff Troy D. Berry said: “While this was not the ending that we all hoped for, I am grateful to all those who worked so hard to find Ms. Guerra. “On behalf of the Charles County Sheriff’s Office, I offer our most sincere condolences to all of her family and friends.” The issue of dangerous illegal aliens has been a flash point in Maryland recently. Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) drew criticism for flying to El Salvador last week to defend Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Abrego Garcia is a deported illegal alien who is known to U.S. authorities as a human trafficker, MS-13 street gang member, and violent domestic abuser. Reps. Robert Garcia (D-CA), Maxwell Frost (D-FL), Yassamin Ansari (D-AZ), and Maxine Dexter (D-OR) then flew to El Salvador on Monday to capitalize on the doomed campaign to support Abrego Garcia. Patty Morin, whose daughter Rachel Morin was killed in Maryland by an illegal immigrant from El Salvador in 2023, called the visits “despicable.” “They would rather champion his cause, a criminal, than the victim,” she said in a statement. _________________________ | |||

So that brings up a variant of the “old Army joke” of “How many trucks are at the White House?” In this case of the WH, it would be “2”  --------------------- DJT-45/47 MAGA !!!!!

Another nice stroke by President Trump's administration: Trump Captures ISIS-K Mastermind Behind Abbey Gate Bombing—'Swift American Justice' After Biden’s Three Years of Failure "During President Trump’s Tuesday night address to Congress, he dropped a bombshell of an announcement that no one saw coming. American and Pakistani authorities reportedly captured ISIS-K terrorist Mohammad Sharifullah, also known as Jafar, who allegedly plotted the Abbey Gate terrorist bombing in August 2021 that took 13 American lives. “Tonight, I am pleased to announce that we have just apprehended the top terrorist responsible for that atrocity, and he is right now on his way here to face the swift sword of American justice. And I want to thank especially the government of Pakistan for helping arrest this monster,” Trump announced. “This was a very momentous day for those 13 families, who I actually got to know very well, most of them, whose children were murdered… What a horrible day.” Link | |||
