http://wtvr.com/2017/01/26/hen...d-for-rioting-in-dc/ Henrico firefighter reassigned after being arrested for rioting in DC HENRICO COUNTY, Va. – A Henrico County firefighter has been reassigned after she was arrested for rioting in Washington DC on Inauguration Day. Court documents stated Rosa Roncales was a part of an anarchist group that disrupted inauguration events by smashing windows and setting things on fire. Roncales was charged with felony rioting in connection to the incidents that caused in excess of $100,000, according to court documents. The documents said officers with the Metropolitan Police Department were monitoring a planned assembly of individuals that were known to be associated with an anarchist group. They said they had prior knowledge of the group’s intent to disrupt Inauguration-related activities, in part because of social media postings. Many members of the group, estimated to be in excess of 300 people, were carrying anarchist flags, wearing black clothing, and black bandanas and masks, police said. Members of the group were also carrying weapons, like a hammer and a baseball bat, according to court documents. The incident in question happened around 10 a.m. Inauguration morning near the intersection of 13th and O Street. Officers observed members of the group tear trash cans and newspaper boxes off of the street, drag them onto the road, and set them on fire, according to court documents. Those documents stated the group then proceeded to smash out the windows of a DC Fire and EMS vehicle outside of a fire house. Then, after following the group for approximately 28 minutes, officers said members of the group smashed out large plate glass windows from Starbucks Coffee, Sun-Trust Bank and Wells Fargo Bank and lit a limousine on fire. Police said the group incited a riot by organizing, promoting, encouraging and participating in acts of violence. Someone in human resources said Roncales was still employed, but has been reassigned to an administrative position. They also say Roncales would remain in that role until a decision was made in the case, but she likely would not be able to remain a firefighter if she was convicted of a felony. She is scheduled to appear in court for a preliminary hearing on March 9, 2017. https://youtu.be/QA3ts0ZwhjM | |||

Glorious SPAM! |
So dragging things out into the street and lighting them on fire wasn't enough? They had to follow for another 28 minutes and watch them bust out windows and set fire to EMS vehicles? Are you kidding me? | |||

Well, look on the bright side. They now have plenty of evidence against them. Trash cans thrown over and stuff tossed around is one thing...But breaking out store windows and setting fire to emergency vehicles is quite another. I hope this angry, ignorant woman along with all the rest of them go down hard with felony convictions. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||

So then do we vet the claim they have ambition, resources, and a higher education or do we just take their word for it? Once they are vetted do we just let them in or do we require them to go through the legal requirements to become US citizens? What vetting process did the 9/11 hijackers go through before they were allowed in the country? Yes, I know it happened on the GWB watch but the system has been broken for quite a while, why not fix it while we have the chance? Trust but verify. | |||

Most were on student visas, IIRC. There was an ingenious "firewall" between the FBI which connected a few dots, and the CIA which were connecting other dots, so they could not know about each others dots, connected or not. The firewall was the brainchild of Jamie Gorelik, then a lawyer in DOJ, later the mistress of destruction at Fannie Mae where she made $25-30 million as Vice Chairman. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

You answered a rhetorical question Sir but I appreciate the insight, another DOJ democrat making a decision for the benefit of the party. I think this reset will affect a lot of people but we need to err on the side of the US. | |||

Let's hope the Rep uses this. (sorry it is a WSJ if you're article) A GOP Regulatory Game Changer Legal experts say that Congress can overrule Obama regulations going back to 2009. By Kimberley A. Strassel Todd Gaziano on Wednesday stepped into a meeting of free-market attorneys, think tankers and Republican congressional staff to unveil a big idea. By the time he stepped out, he had reset Washington’s regulatory battle lines. These days Mr. Gaziano is a senior fellow in constitutional law at the Pacific Legal Foundation. But in 1996 he was counsel to then-Republican Rep. David McIntosh. He was intimately involved in drafting and passing a bill Mr. McIntosh sponsored: the Congressional Review Act. No one knows the law better. Everyone right now is talking about the CRA, which gives Congress the ability, with simple majorities, to overrule regulations from the executive branch. Republicans are eager to use the law, and House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy this week unveiled the first five Obama rules that his chamber intends to nix. The accepted wisdom in Washington is that the CRA can be used only against new regulations, those finalized in the past 60 legislative days. That gets Republicans back to June, teeing up 180 rules or so for override. Included are biggies like the Interior Department’s “streams” rule, the Labor Department’s overtime-pay rule, and the Environmental Protection Agency’s methane rule. More By Kimberley Strassel But what Mr. Gaziano told Republicans on Wednesday was that the CRA grants them far greater powers, including the extraordinary ability to overrule regulations even back to the start of the Obama administration. The CRA also would allow the GOP to dismantle these regulations quickly, and to ensure those rules can’t come back, even under a future Democratic president. No kidding. Here’s how it works: It turns out that the first line of the CRA requires any federal agency promulgating a rule to submit a “report” on it to the House and Senate. The 60-day clock starts either when the rule is published or when Congress receives the report—whichever comes later. “There was always intended to be consequences if agencies didn’t deliver these reports,” Mr. Gaziano tells me. “And while some Obama agencies may have been better at sending reports, others, through incompetence or spite, likely didn’t.” Bottom line: There are rules for which there are no reports. And if the Trump administration were now to submit those reports—for rules implemented long ago—Congress would be free to vote the regulations down. There’s more. It turns out the CRA has a expansive definition of what counts as a “rule”—and it isn’t limited to those published in the Federal Register. The CRA also applies to “guidance” that agencies issue. Think the Obama administration’s controversial guidance on transgender bathrooms in schools or on Title IX and campus sexual assault. It is highly unlikely agencies submitted reports to lawmakers on these actions. “If they haven’t reported it to Congress, it can now be challenged,” says Paul Larkin, a senior legal research fellow at the Heritage Foundation. Mr. Larkin, also at Wednesday’s meeting, told me challenges could be leveled against any rule or guidance back to 1996, when the CRA was passed. The best part? Once Congress overrides a rule, agencies cannot reissue it in “substantially the same form” unless specifically authorized by future legislation. The CRA can keep bad regs and guidance off the books even in future Democratic administrations—a far safer approach than if the Mr. Trump simply rescinded them. Republicans in both chambers—particularly in the Senate—worry that a great use of the CRA could eat up valuable floor time, as Democrats drag out the review process. But Mr. Gaziano points out another hidden gem: The law allows a simple majority to limit debate time. Republicans could easily whip through a regulation an hour. Imagine this scenario: The Trump administration orders its agencies to make a list of any regulations or guidance issued without a report. Those agencies coordinate with Congress about when to finally submit reports and start the clock. The GOP puts aside one day a month to hold CRA votes. Mr. Obama’s regulatory legacy is systematically dismantled—for good. This is aggressive, sure, and would take intestinal fortitude. Some Republicans briefed on the plan are already fretting that Democrats will howl. They will. But the law is the law, and failing to use its full power would be utterly irresponsible. Democrats certainly would show no such restraint were the situation reversed. Witness their treatment of Mr. Trump’s cabinet nominees. The entire point of the CRA was to help legislators rein in administrations that ignored statutes and the will of Congress. Few White House occupants ever showed more contempt for the law and lawmakers than Mr. Obama. Republicans if anything should take pride in using a duly passed statue to dispose of his wayward regulatory regime. It’d be a fitting and just end to Mr. Obama’s abuse of authority—and one of the better investments of time this Congress could ever make. http://www.wsj.com/articles/a-...e-changer-1485478085 Donald Trump is not a politician, he is a leader, politicians are a dime a dozen, leaders are priceless. | |||

many of the 9/11 hijackers came into the US prior to Bush taking office and those that didn't came in within the first few months after he took office. They were already taking flight training before he took office. “Everybody wants a Sig in the sheets but a Glock on the streets.” -bionic218 04-02-2014 | |||

Learn from the past but let's fix this shit. Some returning people will eat a shit sandwich but so be it. I'm expecting once the layers of the economic coverup becomes exposed it will hurt a lot more. Members have been praying for Para's comet but I don't think they suspected it would be named Trump.

4 years of this shit to go. Assholes with no clue protesting at PDX airport. They're protesting Trump and us deplorables, not the actual immigration actions. A green card, A type visa I believe, is just a visa granting one an indefinite stay and right to work status. It can be revoked. IN fact, you can't really leave the U.S. for more than 1 year - you're supposed to surrender it if you do, and you might get it back. You also need to renew the green card every 10 years - I know, because I sort of missed the renewal date once and had a slight delay coming back in, 30 odd years ago. The INS officer was pretty nice to me and had me on my way after 45 minutes of paper work. At least customs took pity on me and waved me thru during a really slow time (I think I was ok, but I did have a lot of goodies I brought back - nothing illegal.) BTW - as the INS officer was processing my paperwork, I witnessed a young lady from Nicaragua being held up, because the INS officers there believed her only reason for entry in to the U.S. was to get married. It was not that she had an invalid visa. She had quite a few people waiting for her. No clue if she ever made it in. Naturalized Citizenship is the only real permanent visa, although what the government giveth the government could taketh. Looks like, possibly on initial reports, some Canadians do not seem to share their PM's open border policy for muslims to come in to Canada. Oops. -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- It only stands to reason that where there's sacrifice, there's someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where there's service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master.

Yup, that nancy boy PM opens the gates and welcomes all the refugees being denied entry here in the US, and then a few hours later...Well, hopefully we'll have more details soon. And yes, the green card is no guarantee that you're always going to be allowed entry into the US. My wife and I make sure we have every piece of paper imaginable in case of a problem whenever we leave the country. Unless you have that US Passport, your entrance into this country is always under extra scrutiny. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||

The president of the university I work at sent an email to everyone on campus today telling us about a professor (or someone, I was laughing too hard before I deleted it to notice) that is stuck at JFK airport and can't get "back into the country" and how the campus community is is handling this. More liberal bullshit, trying to rile them up some more. _____________________________________________________ Sliced bread, the greatest thing since the 1911. | |||

So kimber1911, are you suggesting that although those that favor open boarders and immigration for all may actually be causing more harm than good? Why yes kimber1911, although their motivation may be to be compassionate they are likely extending the misery of the less fortunate left behind. Strange but in the long run maybe it is more compassionate to not allow immigration, and encouraging those wishing to immigrate to stay where they are and work for change. Some how my second paragraph got detached from the third.
