Will Racke reports at the Daily Caller:

The man suspected of killing an Oregon couple in a high-speed drunk driving collision earlier in August is an illegal immigrant from Mexico, The Daily Caller News Foundation learned.

Eduardo de la Lima Vargas, 39, allegedly ran a red light on a state highway in Salem, Oregon, on Aug. 19, striking a motorcycle being driven by Logan Wilson, 34, and his wife Jessi, 32. The collision tossed the Wilsons from the motorcycle, fatally injuring both.

Research by Salem-based David Olen Cross shows that "about three-quarters of all criminal aliens in Oregon's prison system are serving time for what the FBI defines as violent crimes -- murder and non-negligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery and aggravated assault -- or sex crimes under the Oregon criminal code," the DC reports.

"Of the 943 Oregon state prison inmates with active ICE detainers as of July, 731 -- 77 percent -- have been convicted of those violent crimes or sex offenses, according to Cross's latest report," the DC reports. "That compares to about 60 percent of 'domestic' inmates who were convicted of the same offenses."

Oregon is "one of the nation's most active states when it comes to limiting cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities," according to the DC.

Comment: The crime rate for illegal aliens ought to be zero. Illegal aliens should not be in the U.S. to commit violent crimes and sex crimes in the first place.

An individual not in the U.S. clearly cannot therefore commit murder, manslaughter, rape, or any other number of violent and/or sexual offenses in the U.S. 

Open borders is an attack on American people. Those who espouse open borders are allowing a social cancer into the American body politic. Even a smidgeon can kill you or members of your family. 

Allum Bokhari writes at Breitbart:

After criticizing social media platforms for mass-censoring conservatives and the alternative media earlier this month, President Trump has turned his attention to Google. Not a moment too soon -- of all the politically biased tech giants, Google is by far the most dangerous.

Trump's critical comments about Google referenced statistics from a report in PJ Media which found that a staggering 96 percent of search results for "Trump" return results from news sites that are hostile to the President. Breitbart News’ own investigation found the same result.

Associated Press reports:

Authorities say a man wearing a wig, makeup, and women's clothing tried to take a picture of a woman from under the stall divider of a South Carolina convenience store bathroom.

Greenville Police said a woman told investigators she knocked on a stall door Sunday and heard a male voice, but wasn't initially bothered after peeking under the door and seeing women's shoes.

"But police say the woman then saw a cellphone appear under the divider from the next stall and called 911," according to AP.

"Police told media outlets they arrested 38-year-old Shawn Thomas Hallett of Levelland, Texas, after finding a video of the woman on his phone. He was charged with voyeurism," AP reports.

Trent Baker reports at Breitbart:

Monday, ESPN "First Take" co-host Max Kellerman responded to golfer Tiger Woods saying people need to "respect the presidency" when it comes to President Trump. Kellerman said Woods’ remarks bother him and make him "angry."

This is a lesson in how mind control and population control work in the great land of toleration. In this genteel country, plantation bosses and their lackeys keep close wach on highly prized slaves lest one or some gets uppity thoughts about thinking for themselves and living freely for themselves. 

And ol' Tiger Woods is showing signs of not exactly being with the program. Woods failed to condemn Trump, and the pointy heads at ESPNKKK are making it their business to remind Tiger of his place in their world. 

You see, Tiger, no matter how human you are, your'e still always just going to be just a black, a person of color, a slave -- in the eyes of those who think pigment -- not character, not mind, not you -- is what matters. That is essential to how the racism racket works today.

In today's racism, blacks as blacks have to hate Trump. They have to ask "How High" when the media say, "Hate!" 

For all the talk we hear about resistance, what we're seeing is reactionaries clutching their pearls and purses when a real rebel shows up -- Norman! There's a black man over there acting like he's something special!

Yes, Mildred:Thinking while black is very, very threatening. O the scandal of human behavior!

You play their game or get whipped. In public. Must make an example out of Tiger!

Don't want any other fellers getting strange ideas.

Slavery despises humanity.

Don't let them catch you, Tiger.

Author and radio talk show host Todd Starnes writes:

The Facebook Overlords are at it again, folks.

The latest victim is Steve Solomon -- a radio host, pastor and Army veteran from Knoxville, Tennessee. Pastor Solomon wanted to purchase Facebook ads to promote his radio program.

"Speak the truth, Love God, Defend America" -- [that] was the pastor's message. But Facebook rejected the advertisement claiming it was political.

"Nothing about the ad is political," Pastor Solomon countered as he contacted the Todd Starnes Radio Show.

"If anything, it's heavily spiritual and moral," Starnes quotes Solomon as saying.

"I'm a pastor and served in the U.S. Army in Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan), so I LITERALLY defended America," the pastor wrote, according to Starnes.

"Encouraging people to be honest, love God, and love America is nothing controversial," Solomon stated.

"There seems to be a concerted effort by a group of militant social media goons to purge any content they find offensive or contrary to their ideology," Starnes comments. "Apparently, there is no room in their freedom-stifling world for conservatives, Christians or patriots."

Presswire releases the following statement from the Mosaic Institute in Toronto: 

Today, the Mosaic Institute released its policy paper, Let's Eradicate Gun Violence by Criminalizing All Gun Possession. The piece outlines the Institute's position and recommendation on gun possession across Canada -- stating that in order to address the primary cause of gun violence (i.e. possession), the country must take a strong stance and federally criminalize possession of all firearms.

With 50% more shootings in 2018 than 2014 in Toronto and a spate of recent shootings including the Danforth, Toronto multiple incidents and the Fredericton incident, more needs to be done to keep Canadians safe. Last weekend, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau joined Canadians in extending thoughts and prayers to the victims and affected communities of the Fredericton shooting.

The Mosaic Institute encourages Canadians and the federal government to take a harder line on possession, recommending the following:

• Criminalize possession of all guns (with the exception of police, military, hunters and gun clubs)
• Set aside a fund to buy back weapons
• Ratify the United Nations Protocol on Firearms Control

Lukas Mikelionis reports at Fox News:

New York Democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez portrays herself as "a normal, working person," but one of her positions may have helped 150 people lose their jobs.

After enduring mockery for declaring Sunday that a walk in a national park was an example of democratic socialism, Ocasio-Cortez lamented Monday the shutting down of an iconic New York coffee shop that closed mostly due to a higher minimum wage -- which Ocasio-Cortez supported.

"The restaurant I used to work at is closing its doors. I swung by today to say hi one last time, and kid around with friends like old times," the congressional candidate reminisced on Twitter. "I'm a normal, working person who chose to run for office, because I believe we can have a better future."

"The Coffee Shop in Union Square, which became especially famous after regularly appearing on HBO's 'Sex and the City,' will close down this fall after nearly 28 years in business," Fox continues. "Co-owner and President Charles Milite announced the decision to shut the doors to its 150 employees last month.

"But unlike what Ocasio-Cortez wants you to believe about the closing down," Fox reports, "it wasn't the result of greedy capitalists trying to squeeze the workers, but rather government regulations that forced the company to go bust."

"The times have changed in our industry," Milite told the NYPost, according to Fox. "The rents are very high and now the minimum wage is going up and we have a huge number of employees."

Jordan Fabian reports at The Hill:

President Trump on Monday dared former CIA Director John Brennan to sue him over his decision to revoke his security clearance.

In a tweet, Trump claimed a lawsuit would reveal reams of documents that "show not only the poor job he did, but how he was involved with the Mueller Rigged Witch Hunt."

"I hope John Brennan, the worst CIA Director in our country's history, brings a lawsuit," Trump wrote.

In separate Tweets, Trump describes Brennan as a "political 'hack'" and predicts the ex-CIA boss "won't sue!"

"In a blistering indictment of her party-damaging personal ambitions, the Sacramento Bee editorial board published an editorial imploring Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi to 'forget being speaker' -- so she doesn't end up wrecking her party's chances to win back the House in November," James Barrett reports at Daily Wire. 

"The Republican Party is now clearly the party of Donald Trump," the Bee editorial board states, according to Barrett. "The Democratic Party cannot be seen as the party of Nancy Pelosi and win in November," the editorial board warns.

Mike Brest reports at the Daily Caller:

A "Morning Joe" panel mocked Gov. Andrew Cuomo for saying that America was "never really great" and his subsequent response to being called out by the president on Thursday morning.

The segment began with fill-in host Willie Geist introducing and airing the clip of Cuomo from yesterday. They went on to show President Trump’s condemnation of Cuomo, followed by the Governor's response to the president.

Geist then said, "The governor's press secretary issued a statement that reads in part, 'The governor believes America is great.' Never a good day when you have to come out and explicitly clarify that you believe America is great."

"Frankly, if we want to look at who's creating divisions in the country, I think the media has done more to divide this country, certainly far more than this president ever has," Sanders said during a press briefing at the White House.

At Investor's Business Daily:

It's beginning to look as if claims of monstrous collusion between Russian officials and U.S. political operatives were true. But it wasn't Donald Trump who was guilty of Russian collusion. It was Hillary Clinton and U.S. intelligence officials who worked with Russians and others to entrap Trump.

That's the stunning conclusion of a RealClear Investigations report by Lee Smith, who looked in-depth at the controversial June 2016 Trump Tower meeting between officials of then-candidate Donald Trump's campaign staff and a Russian lawyer known to have ties with high-level officials in Vladimir Putin's government.

The media have spun a tale of Trump selling his soul to the Russians for campaign dirt to use against Hillary, beginning with the now-infamous Trump Tower meeting.

"But 'a growing body of evidence . . . indicates that the meeting may have been a setup -- part of a broad effort to tarnish the Trump campaign involving Hillary Clinton operatives employed by Kremlin-linked figures and Department of Justice officials'," Smith writes, according to IBD.

Joshua Caplan reports at Breitbart:

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) terminated special agent Peter Strzok on Friday, according to reports. Strzok's attorney, Aitan Goelman, says the firing was ordered by FBI Deputy Director David L. Bowdich, after the department which oversees personal disciplinary matters ruled the disgraced FBI agent would face a "demotion and 60-day suspension."

Strzok was one primary subject in the highly anticipated Justice Department inspector general report released in July on the Justice Department and Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) handling of Hillary Clinton email investigation, which found the now-fired agent possessed a "biased state of mind" and a “willingness to take action” during the probe.

Text messages exchanged between Strzok and then-FBI lawyer and his alleged lover, Lisa Page, showed the now-fired agent disdained Donald Trump's candidacy during the 2016 presidential election.

Among the explosive exchanges, Page sent a text message to Strzok asking "[Trump's] not ever going to become president right? Right?!" Strzok replied, "No. No he won't. We'll stop it."

"Although Strzok is not longer an employee of the FBI, his legal troubles are far from over," according to Breitbart.

A press release from Liberty Counsel:

The East Penn School District has submitted to Liberty Counsel's demand on behalf of concerned parents and complied with Pennsylvania law, by providing the links to the YouTube videos that were shown to more than 2,000 high school students as part of the district "Unity Week" and promotion of GLSEN's "Day of Silence."

Emmaus High School required the students to watch the videos, which promoted homosexuality, same-sex "marriage" and gender dysphoria, on the school TV system without prior notice to their parents or an opportunity to opt-out.

The school counselor, Kristen Grim, who is also the Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) faculty sponsor, previously sent a suggested list of YouTube videos to a school employee to be shown during the "Unity Week." However, the school district denied parents' requests for the video links, stating the videos "were pulled from YouTube and other online sources by the students in our GSA club and sent to the TV studio as part of their 'Day of Silence' project."

The district's attorney advised "that these videos cannot be sent to parents, because they are part of a student project," despite the district playing the videos for all students. Parents were left to try to find the videos on their own based on descriptions of the video content provided by the school district and descriptions of the video content as related by their children.

The videos released in the records request are:

1 – Buzzfeed's "9 Questions Gay People Have About Straight People" 
2 - A CBS News story clip "Non-binary: The gender beyond he or she" promoting "gender fluidity" 
3 – "Bill Nye on Sexuality and Gender Spectrum" 
4 – YouTube spotlight "Show your pride. Share your love." #ProudToLove

Liberty Counsel is now reviewing all public records relating to the 2018 event. The records show significant teacher-led involvement and editorial control and faculty promotion of the "student-led" activism of the GSA. In fact, Principal Kieres rewarded faculty who showed support for "Day of Silence."

Kieres stated, "I'm all in for whatever you need. I like the idea of teachers wearing GSA or NPFH shirts if they wish. I am delighted to go on the announcements and read a script. Basically, you tell me what the kids need and I'm in!" An email from Grim to a teacher further reveals the support and promotion of the "Day of Silence" while isolating those faculty, staff and students who chose not to participate.

"The East Penn School District finally submitted to Liberty Counsel's demand and Pennsylvania law and released the links to the four videos and all public records regarding 'Unity Week' and 'Day of Silence'," said Mat Staver, Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel.

"It is outrageous that school personnel are violating parents' rights and the law regarding teacher involvement in noncurricular, politically-oriented clubs to promote special-interest propaganda to students," said Staver.

David Krayden reports at the Daily Caller:

According to a POLITICO report, mainstream media reporters are looking for protection at Trump rallies by hiring security.

It may be the first time in history that reporters have asked for such assistance at a presidential event.

Apparently, Trump's oft-repeated comments about the collusion of the mainstream media in providing negative coverage of the president as well as his warnings about "fake news" have set the alarm bells off at the offices of NBC and other big media outlets
. . . 

By the way, "None of the reporters have suggested they have been physically assaulted at any Trump rally," the DC reports.

Art Moore reports at WND:

Emails reveal high-school teachers in a tiny Boston suburb plotting to hide their political bias from parents shortly after President Trump's inauguration.

The history teachers at Newton North High School pledged to reject the "call for objectivity" in the classroom, bully conservative students for their beliefs and serve as "liberal propagandist[s]" for the cause of social justice, the emails show, according to an investigative report published by the Federalist.

Ilya Feoktistov, a board member of the non-profit Americans for Peace and Tolerance, wrote that he obtained the emails under a Massachusetts public-records law after one of the teachers arranged for what he describes as "an anti-Semitic and anti-Israel organization to show Palestinian propaganda films" at Newton North.

But he found that anti-Semitism is "not the only specter haunting the history department at Newton North."

According to WND, "the exchange of emails came after history teacher Isongesit Ibokette complained in February 2017 about new guidelines for avoiding bias in teaching that had been been sent out by Newton Norths principal that morning."

Teachers were reportedly instructed as follows:

For current controversial issues (health care, immigration, environmental policies, gun laws), teach students that there are different perspectives and present the reasoning of those who hold those different perspectives.

"Ibokette, responding to an email from a colleague, objected, declaring in an email to the entire history department his [concern] 'that the call for "objectivity" may just inadvertently become the most effective destructive weapon against social justice'," WND reports.

Joel B. Pollak writes at Breitbart:

Internet provocateur and InfoWars proprietor Alex Jones is being systematically excluded from social media platforms.

This is, plainly, an attack on free speech.

Over the weekend, Facebook removed several Alex Jones-related pages, and Apple deleted many of his podcasts. On Monday, YouTube followed suit by deleting his video channel. Pinterest closed its InfoWars page. Twitter may soon do the same.

The timing is no coincidence: all of these outlets are responding to a campaign by left-wing activists who are determined to shut down conservative voices -- including Breitbart.

It is a shameful effort -- which is why some of those responsible for the boycotts have tried to maintain their anonymity.

Travis Fedshun reports at Fox News:

An armed bystander shot a man who opened fire at a Florida park filled with over 100 people -- including children -- for a Saturday back-to-school cookout, officials said.

The Titusville Police Department said in a news release the man was involved in a fistfight with another person at the Issac Campbell Park and left around 5:20 p.m. -- only to return with a gun minutes later and start shooting.

A bystander, who was lawfully licensed to carry a firearm, then shot the gunman.

"We are extremely grateful that nobody else was injured in this incident," Deputy Chief Todd Hutchinson said, according to Fox News. "This suspect opened fire at a crowded public park. This could have been so much worse."

Terry Jeffrey writes at CNSNews.com:

People who willfully break the immigration laws of the United States are also breaking the moral law -- because they are breaking just laws.

They are not victims; they are victimizers.

Among those harmed by their lawbreaking: U.S. workers and U.S. taxpayers (including legal immigrants), and foreign nationals currently living abroad who long to immigrate to the United States but would never consider violating the laws of this country to do so.

Another victim: respect for the law itself, which is an indispensable public virtue in a free country.
