Trump convenes ‘Shield of Americas’ summit with 12 Latin American leaders

Donald Trump changed the channel from Iran to the western hemisphere on Saturday, convening a gathering of Latin American leaders at his Miami-area golf club to discuss regional interests and establishing what he called a “counter-cartel coalition”.

“Just as we formed a coalition to eradicate Isis, we now need a coalition to eradicate the cartels,” he told 12 regional leaders gathered at what the White House called the “Shield of the Americas” summit.

“We must recognize that the epicenter of cartel violence is Mexico,” where “the cartels are fueling and orchestrating much of the bloodshed and chaos in this hemisphere.”

Trump and the truth about Europe’s ‘betrayal’, Part 1

WE ARE always being told by the more idiotic European and British political commentators that Donald Trump and his administration have betrayed something precious.

We are told that they have betrayed ‘the international rules-based system’. We are told that they have betrayed ‘the democratic norms’. We are told they have betrayed Nato. And we are told that they have betrayed their European partners.

China Suspected in Breach of FBI Surveillance Network

U.S. investigators believe hackers affiliated with the Chinese government are responsible for a cyber intrusion on an internal Federal Bureau of Investigation computer network that holds information related to some domestic surveillance orders, according to people familiar with the matter.

The scope and severity of the intrusion are not known, and the investigation is in its early stages, the people said. Any preliminary conclusions could change as investigators gather more information.

If China is confirmed to be responsible for the breach, it would signal the latest intrusion by Beijing’s hackers of computer systems related to law-enforcement surveillance orders, which contain highly sensitive material.

Justice Department targets Cuban officials, aims for indictments

The Justice Department has formed a working group to examine possible federal charges against officials or entities within Cuba’s government, according to an official familiar with the group.

The formation of the group could be a significant step in the Trump administration’s public push to topple the regime in Cuba.

Officials from government agencies including the Treasury Department will be part of the recently formed group. Treasury’s involvement could mean the Trump administration is considering further sanctions against Cuba, already the subject of intense U.S. economic sanctions.

South Africa’s president calls Trump’s policy to offer refuge to white Afrikaners ‘racist’

South Africa’s president, Cyril Ramaphosa, has called Donald Trump’s policy of allowing white Afrikaners to apply for refugee status in the US “racist”, saying the US president was “truly uninformed” in a rare instance of direct criticism.

Ramaphosa told the New York Times that last year’s Oval Office meeting with the US leader, when Trump turned down the lights and played a video that he falsely claimed showed there was a “white genocide” in South Africa, was a “spectacle” and an “ambush”.

“I just thought that he is so uninformed, truly uninformed,” Ramaphosa said. “I realised that he is looking at South Africa through a completely, sort of, foggy lens, without realising the real, real harm that apartheid did. In my view, he was just dismissive.”

Why Islam Seeks Shelter Under The Banner Of The Left

Dearborn Mosque

To his supporters, Donald J. Trump is the 47th president of the United States. For our enemies, he is something far more intolerable: the de facto leader of Western civilization. He is nothing less than the obstacle to a civilizational transformation they have already advanced in London, Paris, Berlin, Madrid, and Ottawa.

This enemy has a name: the Red-Green alliance. It is the political covenant between the left and Islam. Its strength is precisely that it is not external. It votes. It holds our passports. It sits in our legislatures and city halls. It shouts down, as in the example of Democrat Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, our president’s State of the Union. This is the enemy within: a left who mobilizes blocs of Islamic voters whose only shared objective is the destruction of the West.

How Federal Law Enforcement Rescued Memphis From Third-World Murder Stats

A few days ago, I was driving through downtown Memphis to go to dinner with my wife when we passed a group of National Guard soldiers out on patrol. This has become an altogether frequent and welcome sight here in Bluff City, and the Guard’s positive effect has been widely felt.

There’s been a lot of national discussion and commentary about the presence of soldiers in our city, but the truth is clear for those here on the ground. Walk around Memphis today and the community feels transformed.

Britain is Trying to Censor Americans – But America is Fighting Back

Ofcom has confirmed it is referring 4chan to a final enforcement decision under the Online Safety Act. The target is a Delaware company that runs an entirely anonymous imageboard from the United States, with no offices, staff, servers or assets in Britain. The demand: install age-verification systems and content filters so that British children cannot access the site or face daily fines levied from London on an American platform. This case is not an outlier. It is the clearest real-world demonstration of what the new generation of “online safety” laws requires: private companies must build automated filters that decide, in advance, which legal speech is too harmful for minors to see. The question the regulators never quite answer is simple: what exactly does the filter catch?

Here’s What Caused Trump to Fire DHS Secretary Kristi Noem

Okay, so for weeks, there’s been some palace intrigue regarding Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem. Is she going to get the boot? Has the ongoing public relations war between the public, press, and DHS vis-à-vis the ICE surges eroded trust? Not the case, until now. On March 3, Noem testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee and revealed something that the president reportedly did not want known. In fact, rumor has it that he’s now mulling Noem’s replacement, which is how much this irritated him. National Review had the scoop earlier this morning, which was later confirmed by the president. Markwayne Mullin will be replacing Noem at the end of the month

Pakistani man on trial in Brooklyn for Trump assassination plot says he was recruited by Iran

A Pakistani businessman accused of plotting to kill Donald Trump told a federal jury on Wednesday that he was coerced into the scheme by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps, which he said had threatened his family to secure his participation.

Asif Merchant, 47, took the unusual step of testifying in his own defense at Brooklyn federal court, where he faces terrorism and murder-for-hire charges. Speaking through an Urdu translator, he told jurors he went along with the plot only out of fear for his wife and adopted daughter in Tehran.

“I was not wanting to do this so willingly,” he said.
