Donald Trump Creates A New Political Party -- The Trumpets

New York -- Just days after turning in his Republican membership card and secret decoder ring, real estate developer Donald Trump has launched his own personal political party.

“It’s called the Trumpets, because I’m a guy who likes to toot his own horn,” Trump told a crowd of reporters at a hastily arranged press briefing. “Plus, Trumpets is a play on my name. So it shows how clever I am and that I have a sense of humor -- a man of the people. I think the voters will like that.”

Only weeks ago, Trump offered to host a debate featuring all of the Republican presidential hopefuls. But most declined his invitation, citing dentist appointments, IRS audits and “a good chance of rain” on the scheduled date.

Trump was further stung by Republican Party leaders and analysts who described his planned event as a circus or a sideshow.

“I thought my choice of Gary Busey as moderator was a good one,” he said. “But they didn’t want a host who was smarter than their candidates.

“The Republicans wouldn’t let me play in their game, so now I’m starting my own,” the Donald declared.

Trump stopped just short of announcing his third-party candidacy, however. “I’m not saying I’m running, people,” he said. “But If I were a presidential candidate, you’d see a campaign that achieves the highest ratings in the history of politics.”

Trump explained that he would hire the staff of his reality TV show, The Apprentice, to run his campaign. “As far as I’m concerned I’m already the boss and everyone else is my apprentice. So I would go to China and tell them: ‘You’re fired. From now on Americans are making the iPhones.’

“And I would go to Europe and tell that ugly German broad to start bailing or else you’re outta here.”

Asked to outline his domestic policy, Trump says he favors what he calls The Universal Plan. “It addresses all the issues: the deficit, immigration, unemployment, with one simple law,” Trump said. “Anyone who is not making at least $40,000 a year will be fired. We want to reserve America for paying customers.”New York -- Just days after turning in his Republican membership card and secret... more

BREAKING: Federal Judge Blocks Key Provisions Of South Carolina's Anti-Immigrant Law

United States District Judge Richard Mark Gergel just handed down a preliminary injunction blocking several key parts of South Carolina’s anti-immigrant law. The provisions blocked by Judge Gergel’s opinion include:

•Papers Please: The SC law makes it unlawful for immigrants to fail to carry immigration papers. This provision is now blocked under Judge Gergel’s order. Additionally, Judge Gergel’s order suspends a provision prohibiting immigrants from presenting fake immigration papers to law enforcement.
•No Rides For Undocumented Immigrants: The SC law makes it a felony punishable by up to five years in prison to “transport, move or attempt to transport” an undocumented immigrant “with intent to further that person’s unlawful entry into the United States” or to help that person avoid detection by authorities. This provision is now blocked.
•No Shelter For Undocumented Immigrants: Finally, the provision of the SC law making it a felony to “conceal, harbor or shelter” an immigrant for the same purposes forbidden under the provision prohibiting transportation is also blocked.
Judge Gergel’s opinion hews closely to longstanding precedents establishing that the federal government — and not the states — must be in charge of our nation’s immigration policy. For this reason, it is an important reaffirmation of the fact that America has one policy towards foreign nationals, just like it has one policy toward trade with China or one policy towards war with Iraq, not fifty different foreign policies for fifty different states.

Moreover, while Gergel leaves some parts of the law in effect, it is possible that more provisions of the law could be struck down at a future date. Although a challenge brought by several immigrant rights groups challenged the entire law, Gergel found that they did not have legal standing to bring such a broad challenge. Accordingly, he did not reach the merits of the question of whether the entire law is unconstitutional, and a future lawsuit could do so.

Today, I Changed My Mind… Because it Can Never be too Late or too Hard to do What’s Right

Today, I changed my mind. Although I’d teetered with the issues of illegal immigration and border control, I hadn’t fully resolved where I stood… until today. So, today, what happened to change my mind? And from what to what?

Today, I decided to stop and have a salad at my favorite deli, Jason’s Deli. As I pulled up, two police officers were talking with two young men who looked to be from Mexico. After about ten minutes or so, very calmly, one of the officers pulled out his handcuffs and gently took the right arm of one of the men. The man didn’t resist. Instead, he turned around and extended his left arm to the officer. He was handcuffed and within minutes, he was sitting in the back seat of the police car – arrested. Now I don’t know why he was arrested, but I imagined it was because he was illegally in this Country. But, the truth didn’t matter. He could have been wanted for murder or any less serious crime. The reason for his arrest was irrelevant to me at that moment. Only my thoughts of what could have been true mattered.

Tears welled up in my eyes as I considered the inhumanity of being arrested for simply ‘being’. ‘Being’ in a place where a group of people decided he didn’t belong. I began to feel overwhelmed as I walked by the police car, imagining what would happen to the young man in the back seat. Will he be deported and sent to a land he may not know? Will he be separated from his family? What will be the cost of his arrest?
Everything within me – my humanity – feels it’s not right to confine a human being to only one part of this vast land we live on. Everything within me – my humanity – feels it’s not right to build a man-made border across any part of this God-given earth. I know, I know, I know. I’ve heard all the arguments against open borders. I’m not even sure that’s what I’m saying. But, it’s what I’m feeling. Maybe I’m feeling the spirits of the Native Americans who believed they did not and could not own or prevent others from sharing the land they were blessed to inhabit. So, they welcomed the European immigrants, knowing that the land and natural resources were vast and plenty enough for everybody. If only we believed that way. I’m beginning to feel it. I haven’t worked it out in my head, but my spirit says the Natives were right. And it can never be too late or too hard to do what’s right.

I know you’re saying, ‘But, Deborah, if the young man was here illegally, he should be sent back to his country.' Well, we determine what’s legal and illegal. My humanistic view on life puts humanity first above everything, even the law – especially the law. But to keep humans from breaking the law, maybe it’s time we decided that simply ‘being’ wherever you want to be could never be illegal.
Today, I changed my mind, because it can never be too late or too hard to do what’s right.
