[Breitbart] Illinois’ Republican Governor Bruce Rauner signed legislation shielding the nearly 500,000 illegal aliens from federal immigration law.
Rauner signed the sanctuary state bill into law on Monday, making it illegal for law enforcement to arrest or detain illegal aliens solely based on their immigration status, the Chicago Tribune noted.
The new law will essentially make it impossible for Illinois police to notify Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) when they have a suspected criminal illegal alien on their hands, thus increasing the possibility that they will be freed back into the general public.

Unfortunately nothing new here. Sustaining tax revenues and federal aid money trumps the Rule of Law. Not unlike California, Illinois is bleeding taxpayers.

Conspiracy to obstruct. And here I though Calexit would happen first. People floating crap paper as bonds, shouldn't set fires in the house they live.

•Trump said: 'This was of epic proportion. Nobody's ever seen anything like this'
[DAILYCALLER] The March to DC from Charlottesville, Va., started with nearly 200 marchers Monday, but by Tuesday morning there were only 35 marchers.
“Over 200 people came together today to take a stand against bigotry and hate,” march organizers said on Twitter. “We’re marching from #Cville2DC. Join us: cville2dc.us.”
The overnight rains were enough to keep all but “about 35” from marching Monday morning, the day after the pep talk when police escorted the group from Emancipation Park downtown Sunday.
“We have started the day!” the group tweeted shortly after 10:00am. “We have about 35 folks marching against white supremacy.”
Despite the drastic decrease in numbers, the group still declared a victory, saying “not rain nor sleet nor snow nor hail will stop us from marching from #Cville2DC.
The march was planned as a direct response to the “Unite the Right” rally held earlier this month in which protesters and white supremacists clashed, resulting in 19 injured and one dead in the violence that followed.
“This is the time to confront white supremacy in our government and throughout our history,” the group says on its website about the march. “We demand that President Trump be removed from office for allying himself with this ideology of hate and we demand an agenda that repairs the damage it’s done to our country and its people.”

It's roughly 115 miles from Charlottesville to downtown DC. They scheduled 10 days to make their journey.
I remember Meade noted that the 6th corps marched approximately 32 miles overnight to get to Gettysburg. Jackson's 'Foot Cavalry' usually marched 25-35 miles in a day.
A 'leisurely' march for most units was around 15 miles per day.
With gear.
And undeveloped roads and/or trails.
But there were no Starbuck's.

In a country with 300mm+ people, I care about stories about 35 people because????
There are more people at a Little League baseball game. Cover that, instead.

You have this all wrong!
You see those people who left are showing Trump how to resign - by example!
On Monday, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) ,hate group,
removed the historic Iowa town Amana Colonies from its "hate map" that inspired a terrorist attack in 2012. The SPLC had targeted Amana Colonies as a refuge of "hate" because of an alleged link to the neo-Nazi website Daily Stormer. The Amana Colonies is a historic landmark, the site of seven German Pietist villages that produced a self-sustaining local economy for eighty years. Proving once again the SPLC is not an organization that helps poor people.
"We're thrilled for them changing the map and correcting it to what it should be, and not having the Amanas as a hate group," David Rettig, executive director of the Amana Colonies Convention and Visitors Bureau, told the Iowa City Press-Bulletin. Allegations = conviction.
The SPLC "had previously designated the historic settlement as the home of the Daily Stormer, a neo-Nazi and white supremacy news and commentary organization," the Press-Bulletin reported. On Monday, one of the Amanas leaders received word that the SPLC had changed Daily Stormer's designation to "statewide."
The town had previously contested the claim, but the SPLC had stood by its marking the Amanas on the "hate map." Why? The organization claimed "it had confirmation that a group of individuals met sometime in September 2016 at a restaurant in the Amanas." Big Brother is watching.
"The First Iowa Stormer Bookclub was a success!" a user with the screen name Concerned Troll posted in a September 26, 2016, thread. Concerned Troll did not provide specific details about the visit, but went on to suggest a subsequent meeting in Des Moines.
Local officials shot back, explaining that there are no such groups active in Iowa County. Amanas leaders denounced hate groups and their activities, saying none of their messages or activities are welcome in their town. They demanded that the SPLC remove their community from the "hate map." Sue them for inciting terrorism.
While Amana had been previously marked on the "hate map," the local leaders remained unaware of this designation until Daily Stormer became infamous following the white nationalist riots in Charlottesville, Va., on August 12.
On Monday, the SPLC finally agreed, removing the town from the map.
This incident should not be lightly brushed over, however. The SPLC's "hate map" inspired a terror attack in 2012.

Of course it is - it helps them reproduce and become multitudes.
[Newsweek] Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe attacked South Africa over the weekend for affording white people too much power and pointed the finger of blame at Nelson Mandela, the country’s first black president.
Mugabe, 93, spoke Saturday at the funeral of two former members of Zimbabwe’s ruling ZANU-PF coalition in Harare, Zimbabwe’s capital.
South Africa abandoned apartheid, a system of enforced racial segregation and white-minority rule, in 1994, when Mandela, then president of the African National Congress (ANC), was elected as president for South Africa’s first multiethnic government. But racial inequality remains a hot-button issue in South Africa.
"I asked one of the ANC ministers, ’How come whites have been left with so much power [in South Africa]?’" Mugabe said Saturday, South African news site eNCA reported. "And he said it was because of your friend Mandela. He is the one who made mistakes."

Maybe south africa waited and watched to see how well Mugabe's all black government would work out
Zim surely isn't the only example. The continent is chucked full of such colossal failures. Of course most are blamed on 18th through 20th century colonialism, not 40,000 years of genetically tuned tribal history.

Hypothesis: Agricultural tribes will spread along banks of rivers. Step 2: European Governments split territories along rivers (convenient geography feature marked on maps) separating tribes and arbitrarily mixing them with other tribes similarly split. Step 3: Chaos ensues.
Repeat this throughout Africa...

Please read the following book, it will explain why everything is happening today in Europe and Africa. Mandela was a good president.

[NEWSBUSTERS.ORG] If Trump raised a walking stick and the water receded back into the gulf, and the fishes baked themselves on the sidewalks for the hungry, they'd bytch and moan that he'd forgotten the beer and chips.

[NYPOST] Many on the left are starting to see the goons of Antifa ...the armed wing of the Democratic Party... as the menace they are. Too bad the Berkeley, Calif., Police Department remains clueless.
The college town saw a large Rally Against Hate on Sunday, initially planned as a response to a right-wing demonstration that wound up canceled over security concerns.
A few pro-Trumpers and other miscellaneous rightists still turned out to show their flags -- and so did the ninja-wannabes.
Yet when hundreds of masked, armored thugs arrived in quasi-military formation, carrying shields banned under police rules, the cops were ordered to retreat.
Some 400 officers from the Berkeley, Oakland, UC Berkeley and Alameda County forces had been keeping control, confiscating anything that could be used as a weapon.
But when the goons broke through police barricades and checkpoints and started beating and pepper-spraying others, "We made a strategic decision to move our officers," said Berkeley police spokeswoman Officer Jennifer Coats.
As the police left, the Socialist paradise of San Francisco ...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964... Chronicle news hound Lizzie Johnson tweeted: "A sea of black masks as far as I can see. This is what WAS NOT supposed to happen."
Berkeley’s police chief, Andrew Greenwood, argued that his orders avoided violence: "The potential use of force became very problematic," and he didn’t see a "need for a confrontation over a grass patch."
Huh? It’s the duty of the police to use force responsibly to protect the peace. Facing a horde bent on violence, cops must protect the law-abiding from the law-breaking.
Instead, at least five people were attacked, while the police wound up arresting 13 for assault with a deadly weapon, obstructing a police officer and other charges.
Oh and here’s another tweet from the Chonicle’s Johnson: " ’Take his camera, take his phone,’ they are shouting at a journalist."
From the Los Angeles Times’ James Queally: "There is a complete mob mentality here. People are randomly accusing random people of being Nazis."

These masked punks are terrorists. Sessions needs to get off his arse and declare them as such.

What does it tell us that Nancy Pelosi has a better position on "Antifa" than Ryan, McConnell, Rubio, Sasse and Romney among others? (even though her stance is entirely poll-driven).
I guess Trump was just prematurely anti-Antifa.
This is also why I don't get cocky when I hear about record-breaking fundraising and better poll numbers for the GOP.
What's it worth with people like CuckRyan My-Liberal-Democratic-Wife-Has-The-Balls-In-The-Family in charge?

Trump calling both sides bad more or less put ignorant Trump haters in the pro-Antifa camp. Now they'll have to find a way to get clear of that without being covered in Communist blood and slime or looking like idiots. Good luck with that.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing

Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
