Former President Donald Trump hammered President Joe Biden Sunday during a speech at CPAC, just over a month after leaving office. “We all knew that the Biden administration was going to be bad, but none of us even imagined just how bad they would be and how far left they would go,” Trump said about the first weeks of the new administration. The former president focused intently on Biden’s attempt to reverse his tough immigration and refugee policies. “Biden has failed at his number one duty as chief executive — enforcing America’s laws,” Trump said. He said Biden prioritized opening up America’s borders rather than reopening the country for American citizens during the coronavirus pandemic. “Your families still cannot go out to eat at local restaurants, but Joe Biden is bringing in thousands upon thousands of refugees from all over the world,” he said. The former president also attacked Biden for trying to undo his agenda on foreign policy and domestic politics, … [Read more...] about Donald Trump Hammers First Month of Joe Biden Presidency

US judges reject Trump plan to exclude many immigrants from representation
NEW YORK: A panel of judges on Thursday (Sep 10) declared unlawful a directive from President Donald Trump to exclude people who are in the United States illegally from representation when apportioning congressional seats. The decision by a three-judge panel, which could be appealed to the US Supreme Court, is a victory for the 38 states, cities and counties, plus several immigrants rights nonprofits, that sued over the Jul 21 directive. The mostly Democratic-leaning plaintiffs, led by New York state, accused the Republican president of having a "xenophobic" purpose in pushing an unconstitutional directive that reflected "discriminatory animus" toward Hispanics and other immigrant communities. They said the directive could leave several million people uncounted and shift a few House of Representatives seats, with California, Texas and New Jersey most likely to suffer losses. In its 86-page decision, the panel said Trump exceeded his statutory authority in ordering the … [Read more...] about US judges reject Trump plan to exclude many immigrants from representation
Steve Bannon, architect of Trump’s 2016 win, charged with defrauding border-wall donors
WASHINGTON: Steve Bannon, an architect of Donald Trump's 2016 election victory, was arrested on a yacht on Thursday (Aug 20) and charged with defrauding donors in a scheme to help build the president's signature wall along the US-Mexico border. As a top adviser to Trump's presidential campaign who later served as White House chief strategist, Bannon helped articulate the "America First" right-wing populism and fierce opposition to immigration that have been hallmarks of Trump's 3.5 years in office. Trump fired Bannon from his White House post in August 2017. Bannon, 66, was among four people arrested and charged by federal prosecutors in Manhattan with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering. They each face up to 40 years in prison if convicted, but likely would get much shorter sentences. Wearing two shirts and a protective white mask, Bannon pleaded not guilty in federal court in Manhattan. Prosecutors accused the defendants of defrauding … [Read more...] about Steve Bannon, architect of Trump’s 2016 win, charged with defrauding border-wall donors
