He was very unnerved by her demeanor, if not frankly confused.Bravo, Alexandria.

The U.S. government is reportedly preparing to deport immigrants to Rwanda who can’t be sent back to their country of origin due to fears of prosecution.
The Handbasket newsletter reported Tuesday that a State Department cable sent from the U.S. Embassy in Rwanda’s capital, Kigali, on March 13 stated that the country would be willing to accept such people. A new cable sent Tuesday from the State Department said that a refugee from Iraq, Omar Abdulsattar Ameen, became the first person to be officially deported to Rwanda thanks to this arrangement."https://newrepublic.com/post/194312/trump-deportation-rwanda less

The Maryland police issued a report saying he is a member of MS13. One immigration judge ruled he is a member of MS13. ICE ruled that he is a member of MS-13. A 2nd immigration judge ruled he is member of MS13. The man filed for asylum from jail.The only mistake was he should have been deported to a detention center in either Mexico, Nicaragua or Egypt.His wife filed abuse charges in 2021He was pulled of for speeding and reckless driving in 2022. And suspected of human trafficking. 8 others in the car with NO luggage at all and driving from TN to NY. Biden admin said let him go. As there was a protection order not to be deported to El Salavador because of fear of retaliation from Barrio-18 the main rival gang of MS13.Gang members are deportable. less

They are found in low concentrations in Canada, higher in South Africa and Australia, but mostly in China. China isn't hitting the US with tariffs - they're stopping export altogether. These rare elements are VITAL to the US defense industry, as well as electric motors, aircraft engines etc. Unless the US can source them elsewhere (they can't, nobody else has got any), there will be no more semiconductors so there goes your electronics industry. Airbus already produces better airplanes than Boeing, but without yttrium Boeing will be forced to cease production altogether. Elon can't build his Teslas without neodymium and dysprosium. And no more stealth bombers or ammunition without tungsten. Supply chains. His Royal Orangeness has shattered them. Defend THAT, MAGAts. less

Daniel has been convicted of the production and possession of child pornography. His lawyer claims that Trump's pardon applies to this conviction as well. Will this child abuser walk free? Has Trump pardoned a nonce?

Will Hegseth also be giving out the nuclear codes?Next thing you know, the Chief White House chef will divulge secret sauce recipes. less
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum responded to Trump’s threats with a backhand:
“So, you voted to build a wall.
Well, dear Americans, even if geography isn’t your strong suit—since you consider America a country rather than a continent—you should know that beyond that wall, there are 7 billion people.
And since the word 'people' might not resonate with you, let’s call them 'consumers.'
These 7 billion consumers can switch from iPhones to Samsung or Huawei in less than two days.
They can swap Levi’s for Zara or Massimo Dutti and, within six months, replace Ford and Chevrolet with Toyota, KIA, Mazda, Honda, Hyundai, Volvo, Subaru, Renault, or BMW—brands that often outperform in quality.
They can cancel Direct TV, and though they might not want to, they can stop watching Hollywo... less
