Pelosi: Vote-by-Mail Will Be in Next Coronavirus Stimulus
2:18
Sunday on “Full Court Press,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) told host Greta van Susteren vote-by-mail would be in the next coronavirus stimulus legislation.
Pelosi said, “Well, let me stay a couple of things. First of all, I’m proud of our state of California. Jerry Brown, when he left, scores of billions of dollars of surplus. That’s all gone because of the virus. That’s all gone because of the virus. So, to those who make that charge about, ‘oh, they had problems before,’ it has nothing to do with that. This is strictly, what are your outlays for the coronavirus? What is your revenue loss for the coronavirus? That’s what has the support of Democratic and Republican governors across the country. It strictly about this, and it’s about nothing else. It has nothing to do with anything else in the budget of the governors. And we will come and our bill, also have funding for vote by mail, which we think is essential and supported by Republicans across the country. They like voting by mail. They have more of a habit of voting by mail.”
Van Susteren asked, “How our vote by mail and absentee voting different?”
Pelosi said, “This is related to COVID for the reason that we are trying to keep people at home, vote at home and the rest, vote by mail does one thing—I was a former chair of the California party, and our goal was to remove all obstacles to participation.”
She added, “This is an opportunity to remove obstacles of participation by calling upon the governing bodies to send a ballot to every registered voter by having same-day registration, by having adequate polling places for those who want to or need in person, but to reduce the number of people who will be gathering in such places on election day. We had some elections coming up soon. In the state of Wisconsin, they had a number of COVID cases that were immediately traced to people having to stand in line for a long time to vote, so this is not only the health of our democracy commits the health of our people, and it makes the argument, there are states like Oregon that have had vote by mail for a number of years, and they claim success, and it certainly pleases the people there.”

Pollak: Barack Obama Himself Was the Threat to the Rule of Law
2:47
Former President Barack Obama warned Friday that the “rule of law is at risk” because former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn will no longer be prosecuted.
Obama’s remarks, leaked from a private conference call with members of something called the “Obama Alumni Association,” show a breathtaking lack of self-awareness.
Obama himself was the threat to the rule of law, both during his presidency and as it ended.
As Breitbart News has previously noted, Obama routinely violated the Constitution’s separation of powers, challenging America’s constitutional foundation in a way no president before him had done in peacetime.
“I’ve got a pen, and I’ve got a phone,” Obama said, threatening to use — and abuse — his executive power — rather than allow the constitutional process of legislation to proceed.
Here are just a few of Obama’s more egregious violations:
- Refusing to submit the Iran deal to the Senate for ratification
- Declaring the Senate in recess when it was not (struck down, later, in a 9-0 Supreme Court decision)
- Defying the courts when told to renew oil and gas activity in the Gulf of Mexico, or to stop giving amnesty to illegal aliens
- Threatening the Supreme Court after Citizens United, and before the Obamacare decision
- Altering Obamacare’s statutory deadline unilaterally
- Creating the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and Deferred Action for Parents of Americans (DAPA) programs after admitting it was unconstitutional
- Trying to wipe out the coal industry
Moreover, the Flynn investigation itself undermined the rule of law by targeting a man the government knew was innocent of any crime. Similarly, Obama’s own effort to protect Hillary Clinton, and his administration’s attempt to undermine Trump through false allegations of “Russia collusion,” also violated the rule of law.
Last week it emerged that it was Obama himself who told then-Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates about Flynn’s lawful conversation with the Russian ambassador, which set the investigative wheels in motion.
Obama’s phony protest suggests he is feeling desperate as attention turns, finally, to his own role in the affair.

Obama: DACA Illegal Aliens Deserve Amnesty During Coronavirus Crisis
Former President Barack Obama says the time is now, during the Chinese coronavirus crisis, to provide amnesty to about 3.5 million illegal aliens who are enrolled and eligible for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
While about ten million Americans have filed for unemployment in just three weeks, Obama took to Twitter to call for an amnesty for DACA illegal aliens in the midst of the coronavirus crisis.
“Dreamers have contributed so much to our country, and they are risking their lives fighting on the frontlines of this pandemic,” Obama said. “They deserve permanent immigration status and a pathway to citizenship—as they are Americans in every way but on paper.”
Dreamers have contributed so much to our country, and they are risking their lives fighting on the frontlines of this pandemic. They deserve permanent immigration status and a pathway to citizenship—as they are Americans in every way but on paper. https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/dreamers-risk-lives-on-pandemics-front-lines-while-they-await-court-ruling/2020/04/11/d34a7b58-76c4-11ea-85cb-8670579b863d_story.html …
‘Dreamers’ risk lives on pandemic’s front lines while they await a decision on their own futures
Center for Immigration Studies Research Director Steven Camarotta has noted that DACA illegal aliens make up about 0.2 percent of the nation’s nearly 15 million healthcare workers. In New York, where a staggering number of DACA illegal aliens reside, they still only account for about 0.2 percent of the state’s healthcare workers, according to Camarotta.
Obama’s lobbying for a DACA amnesty in the middle of the coronavirus crisis comes as House Democrats — including Congressional Hispanic Caucus Chair Joaquin Castro (D-TX), Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) — have sent a letter to the Trump administration demanding DACA illegal aliens have their work authorizations extended.
“Support of DACA recipients during the current pandemic is particularly critical as over 200,000 DACA recipients are in occupations and industry groups that render them ‘essential critical infrastructure workers,’ according to DHS guidance,” the House Democrats wrote in their letter.
A DACA amnesty would put more citizen children of illegal aliens — known as “anchor babies” — on federal welfare, as Breitbart News reported, while American taxpayers would be left potentially with a $26 billion bill.
Additionally, about one-in-five DACA illegal aliens, after an amnesty, would end up on food stamps, while at least one-in-seven would go on Medicaid.
Any plan to give amnesty to DACA illegal aliens that does not also include provisions to halve legal immigration levels — the U.S. admits about 1.2 million legal immigrants a year at the expense of America’s working and middle class — would give amnestied illegal aliens the opportunity to bring an unlimited number of foreign relatives to the country.
At the southern border, a DACA amnesty has the potential to trigger a border surge that could triple the number of illegal aliens pouring through the border. Since DACA’s inception, more than 2,100 recipients of the program have been kicked off because they were found to either be criminals or gang members.

Jeff Flake and John McCain.
“The cost of the Dream Act is far bigger than the Democrats or their media allies admit. Instead of covering 690,000 younger illegals now enrolled in former President Barack Obama’s 2012 “DACA” amnesty, the Dream Act would legalize at least 3.3 million illegals, according to a pro-immigration group, the Migration Policy Institute.”

Joe Biden: ‘Absolutely Bizarre’ to Suggest Limit on U.S. Capacity to Absorb Immigrants
LAS VEGAS, Nevada — Former Vice President Joe Biden campaigned inside a Chinese restaurant on Tuesday evening, telling supporters it was “bizarre” to suggest a limit on immigration to the U.S.
Biden promised to expand immigration to the U.S. if elected president.
“Folks, look — the idea that there’s some limitation on the capacity of anyone who — on the immigrants in this country is absolutely bizarre! It’s absolutely bizarre.”
Biden, speaking to a packed crowd inside the Harbor Palace Seafood Restaurant on the eve of the next Democratic debate, addressed members of the Asian-American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community, urging them to turn out the vote ahead of Saturday’s caucuses.
Last month, the AAPI Victory Fund super PAC endorsed Biden for president, citing his ability to defeat President Donald Trump and his experience working with immigrant communities from South Asia, East Asia and the Pacific generally.
Though the AAPI immigrant community is politically diverse, it has trended Democratic in recent years.
Last year, Breitbart News reported, another local AAPI organization in Las Vegas expressed opposition to President Trump’s proposed merit-based system for legal immigration.
On Tuesday, Biden promised, if elected, to allow family reunification visas.
“We should be able to increase, to three million people, the people who could come for family reunification. Period, period, period, period.”
He called the idea that the U.S. could not “reunite” more families “absolutely bizarre.”
Biden also reminded his audience that Latinos were not the only beneficiaries of President Barack Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which applied to those brought to the country illegally as children.
He said there were “thousands and thousands of AAPI ‘Dreamers'” who had benefited from DACA as well.
Afterwards, Biden greeted attendees, some of whom proceeded to the Chinatown Mall to cast early votes before the polling place there closed.
Biden hopes to finish in the top three in Nevada, and to win South Carolina on Feb. 29, to make the case that he is still a top contender for his party’s nomination. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) now leads national polls, as well as Nevada polls.

ICE ignores California laws and arrests illegal aliens at the courthouse door
In 2018, California implemented the California Values Act, which gave special protection to illegal aliens by mandating that California law enforcement agencies cannot cooperate with federal immigration authorities. Last week, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”) thumbed its nose at California and arrested two people in Sonoma County Superior Court.
BLOG: CALIFORNIA HAS 15 MILLION ILLEGALS!
California has lots of reasons to hang onto its roughly 2.2 – 3.5 million illegal immigrants. They provide cheap, easily-exploited labor. They swell the state’s population, which matters for electors and congresspeople, as well as the distribution of certain federal funds. As illegal immigrants are fed into the system, they provide reliable (legal or illegal) Democrat votes. And they make Californians feel virtuous even as they allow corrupt Latin American states to continue exploiting their own citizens and destroying their economies by relying on remittances from people illegally in America.
For these reasons, California enacted the pompously named “California Values Act.” Although the act refers to “immigrants,” it’s obviously intended to affect only illegal aliens because the Act’s entire purpose is to use the agencies of the state to prevent ICE from gaining access to people illegally in California – including people who have committed crimes in California. This is the type of law that could only come from legislators and other virtue signalers ensconced in comfortable middle- and upper-middle-class enclaves unaffected by felonies that would never have happened but for open borders and sanctuaries.
Throughout the Obama administration, sanctuary cities and states were able to get away with these policies because the Obama administration, despite Obama’s sworn obligation to upload the laws of the United States, approved of open borders. Trump promised to change all that.
During the first three years of his administration, rather disappointingly, Trump was able to have little effect on illegal immigration or on deportation. However, Trump was just getting his ducks in a row. He was hampered by a reluctant Republican Congress, which was superseded by a violently resisting Democrat House. He also had to deal with “resistance” judges who blocked every immigration initiative he made.
Finally, though, things are changing. Trump was able to squeeze money out of Congress for his wall and, even more importantly, with help from Mitch McConnell, he’s changing the judiciary:
Great news for the U.S. Constitution! @realDonaldTrump has flipped the 9th Circuit — and some new judges are causing a 'shock wave' https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-02-22/trump-conservative-judges-9th-circuit …
Trump has flipped the 9th Circuit — and some new judges are causing a 'shock wave'
With a judiciary that believes in interpreting the law, not making it, Trump’s administration is able to act in accordance with the Supremacy Clause (Constitution, Art. VI, Clause 2):
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
In other words, when there’s a direct conflict between state laws and federal laws, federal laws prevail.
Because the critical mass of judges is no longer deliberately inserting itself as an obstacle between federal laws and illegal immigrants, ICE is beginning to carry out its duty as written under the law:
U.S. immigration agents arrested two people at a Northern California courthouse, including a man detained in a hallway on his way to a hearing, flouting a new state law requiring a judicial warrant to make immigration arrests inside such facilities.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents made the arrests Tuesday at Sonoma County Superior Court, prompting an outcry from criminal justice and court officials who said the action undermines local authority and deters immigrants who are in the country illegally from participating in the U.S. justice system.
ICE said California's law doesn't supersede federal law and “will not govern the conduct of federal officers acting pursuant to duly-enacted laws passed by Congress that provide the authority to make administrative arrests of removable aliens inside the United States."
“Our officers will not have their hands tied by sanctuary rules when enforcing immigration laws to remove criminal aliens from our communities," David Jennings, ICE's field office director in San Francisco, said in the statement.
At long last, in Trump’s America, the rule of law matters again. The reliability of law is one of the essential ingredients of a just and successful civilization. In that context, if you don’t like the law, you change it through the democratic process, not through illegal and unconstitutional resistance.
Former President Barack Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder
admitted he saw coronavirus as “an opportunity” to permanently change the way
Americans voted.
“Coronavirus gives us an
opportunity to revamp our electoral system so that it permanently becomes more
inclusive and becomes easier for the American people to access,” Holder said in
an interview with TIME magazine.
He called for a “sea change” in
voting systems, allowing Americans to vote from home, using prepaid mail-in
ballots and unlimited absentee voting. Holder did not discuss concerns about
voter fraud in his interview but posited that any special exceptions made to
the voting process during the coronavirus should remain permanent.
“It would be foolhardy to take
these pro-democracy measures off the table after we get on the other side of
the virus,” he said. “These are changes that we should make permanent because
it will enhance our democracy.”
Holder’s comments align with
former President Barack Obama, who voiced support for mail-in voting and
joined forces with former First Lady Michelle Obama and prominent celebrities
to press the United States for more
mail-in voting.
Failed presidential candidate
Hillary Clinton and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi have also called for mail-in voting in the
2020 election.
“Judicial Watch’s records request is designed
to expose how California state
legislators are
wasting tax dollars to take
care of another
corrupt politician – Eric
Holder – under the
guise of resisting the rule of
law on
immigration and other matters,” stated
Judicial Watch president Tom
Fitton. “His
record at the Clinton and Obama
Justice
Departments demonstrates a
willingness to
bend the law in order to
protect his political
patrons.”
CALIFORNIA COMRADES CHOOSE
COMRADE HOLDER
https://sacramentocitizen.wordpress.com/2017/01/11/california-comrades-choose-comrade-holder/
Any attorney general who is not an activist is not doing his or
her job.
Eric Holder
In Part One of this series, we exposed the Chicano Marxist take over
of the California legislature and their plans to defy federal immigration
laws and expected actions of the incoming Trump administration. Gov. Jerry
Brown’s nomination of Xavier Becerra to be California’s next Attorney General was the first of
many steps to protect the pervasive lawlessness of the radical left. Becerra
has already taken an aggressive and combative stance against President-elect
Donald Trump, vowing to fight Trump’s efforts to enforce immigration laws, and
even block attempts to deport criminal illegal aliens. Trump’s campaign
centered on building a wall along the United States border with Mexico to
keep out illegal immigrants, violent gangs, and terrorists posing as
immigrants.
Xavier Becerra, currently a
12-year member of Congress, is an admitted member of MEChA, or “Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan,”
often likened to a Latino KKK.
Becerra has publicly defended MEChA, even though the Chicano supremacist group
evangelizes discrimination against non-Hispanics and calls for the killing
of Border Patrol “pigs.” MEChA’s rallying cry is: “For the race, everything; For
those outside the race, nothing.”
Becerra’s Radical Plans
Recently, the State Assembly
Committee on the Office of the Attorney General asked nominee Becerra to
detail his plans on the issues of immigration, civil rights, the environment,
policing and consumer protection – apparently the only issues the California
Legislature is interested in Becerra defending.
In a letter released Saturday, Becerra praised California’s policies
helping illegal aliens get driver’s licenses, free college tuition, and free
lawyers to represent them in deportation cases, calling it “national
leadership.”
“All of these policies and
programs are representative of California’s values as a welcoming state,”
Becerra wrote to the Assembly committee.
Becerra also took a shot at
Trump for proposing to create a registry of Muslim immigrants during the
campaign.”Disturbing statements uttered during the recent Presidential campaign
have given rise to legitimate fears that the new federal administration might
seek to adopt policies that would discriminate against people based on factors
such as their religious belief,” Becerra wrote. “Any such policies would be
antithetical to the deepest constitutional values and traditions of this nation
— a nation founded in part by men and women fleeing religious
persecution.”
“I have no intention of
allowing this policy through the doors of California,” he wrote.
Like a good
progressive foot soldier, Becerra also vowed to fight for abortion,
calling it “reproductive freedom.”
Becerra said he will support
California’s recent legislation expanding voter registration and participation
in elections. He might want to look into the 650,000 newly registered
California voters, registered online only weeks before the election. According to the Los Angeles Times, “98% of all the growth in
California’s voter ranks in 2016 happened in just the last 45 days of the
registration season.”
As Attorney General,
Becerra has vowed to continue enforcing policies to combat climate change and
work to “transition Californians to a low-carbon way of life.” Becerra added
that a part of environmental protections is safe drinking water and vowed to
“pursue the goal of providing safe drinking water to all Californians.” Perhaps
Becerra can begin by supporting the safe drinking water bills that Assemblyman
Devon Mathis has tried to get passed over the last two years? In Mathis’
district, wells began going dry in East Porterville more than three years ago,
with more continuing to dry up every day.
Assemblyman Devon Mathis,
R-Porterville, authored the bills to provide $10 million to
homeowners (not farmers) to dig deeper wells and clean contaminated ones.
Both bills passed through the
Assembly and a state Senate committee without opposition, only to have Senate
Appropriations Chairman Ricardo Lara, D-Los Angeles and Mecha activist, put
both bills on suspense– one after the other, killing them and depriving 10,000+
low-income individuals access to running water. Sen. Lara was playing politics
with this Republican bill, despite the 10,000 poor people who need the clean
water.
Sanctuary Cities
California, through its 35
Sanctuary Cities, is clearly violating U.S. Federal Immigration law. Recently,
Democrat members of the State Legislature proposed two bills: SB 6 by Sen. Ben
Hueso, to create a state program to fund legal representation for illegal
aliens facing deportation, and AB 3 by Assemblyman Rob Bonta to create taxpayer-funded training
for defense attorneys and public defenders on immigration law for illegal
aliens.
And now California is going
to try to prevent the new Presidential administration from enforcing federal
immigration law despite the fact that the Constitution clearly imposes a duty
on the president and the executive branch, to enforce the law.
Hiring Eric Holder… for what?
Democrats in the California
State Legislature apparently decided Becerra isn’t enough legal muscle, and
recently hired former Obama Attorney General Eric Holder to fight a “clear and
present danger” from President-elect Trump… the same former Attorney General
Eric Holder who was once blasted for helping to
trigger a “war” on police and called America
“a nation of cowards” on the issue of race. However, he now says he sees his
“younger” self in Black Lives Matter activists… this is who California hired to
assist California’s top law enforcement officer?
Since Trump — who is not
referring to himself as “The Office of President-Elect,” as his predecessor did — has not yet taken office, nor
any official actions, it is hard to see specifically for what purpose Holder
has been hired.
There certainly is poetic
justice in hiring the failed Attorney General of the failed Obama
Administration to defend the failed and deteriorating policies of the Jerry
Brown administration and radical Democrats running the state.
Described as a “devious,
power-hungry, racial zealot,” Eric Holder is also a dubious choice since he is
the only U.S. Attorney General in history to be held in contempt of Congress,
when he refused to turn over Operation Fast and Furious documents to Congress. One of the most reckless law
enforcement operations ever conducted by the Justice Department, it involved
selling guns to Mexican drug cartels, and resulted in the death of a U.S.
border patrol agent, Brian Terry, as well as hundreds of Mexican citizens.
Under Holder’s watch at the
DOJ Civil Rights Division, more than half of all the lawyers hired were chosen
from four radical, anti-American organizations: the ACLU, National Council of
La Raza, NAACP, Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund, and the
Lawyer’s Committee for Civil Rights, John Fund and Hans von Spakovsky outlined
in their 2014 book, “Obama’s Enforcer: Eric Holder’s
Justice Department.”
Additionally, the Justice
Department under Holder, and now Loretta Lynch, has one of the worst records before the U.S. Supreme Court, losing
significantly more cases than either of the Bush or Clinton Departments of
Justice. “In most administrations, the department wins about 70 percent of the
cases before the Supreme Court; Mr. Holder’s department has a losing record and
has lost at least nine cases 9-0–even with Obama appointees Elena Kagen and
Sonia Sotomayor on the court,” wrote Jared Taylor of American Renaissance, in a review of “Obama’s Enforcer: Eric Holder’s
Justice Department.”
Judicial Watch announced today
that it filed a records request with the California Legislature Joint Rules Committee
seeking to examine legislative records regarding the state’s employment of
former Obama U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. The record request
includes:
All
contracts between the California Legislature and former U.S. Attorney General
Eric Holder Jr. or Covington and Burling.
All
communications between the California Legislature and former U. S. Attorney
General Eric Holder Jr. or Covington and Burling about the Legislature’s
retention of Holder and/or Covington and Burling.
“Judicial Watch’s records request is designed to expose how
California state legislators are wasting tax dollars to take care of another
corrupt politician – Eric Holder – under the guise of resisting the rule of law
on immigration and other matters,” stated Judicial Watch president
Tom Fitton. “His
record at the Clinton and Obama Justice Departments demonstrates a willingness
to bend the law in order to protect his political patrons.”
The hiring of Eric Holder by
the California Legislature confirms a lack of confidence in Xavier Becerra
by Gov. Brown and Democrats in the Legislature–which must be quite humiliating
for Becerra, especially after his promise to uphold California’s “progressive”
policies on immigration, Obamacare, energy, and criminal justice. “If you want
to take on a forward-leaning state that is prepared to defend its rights and interests,
then come at us,” Becerra said, directing his comment to Trump. Choosing
Holder also reiterates the anti-American, anti-Constitution, anti-religion
movement of Marxists in America, but particularly in California.
The biggest obstacle standing between Marxism and Marxist domination
of the world is America, and the U.S. Constitution. And standing between a
Marxist takeover of America is California – only when California is destroyed
can Marxists proceed.
