A teenager who was brutally murdered and then chopped into pieces, allegedly by a suspected MS-13 gang member, could still be alive today if local authorities had honored an ICE detainer, the agency said.

Carlos Orlando Iraheta-Vega, an illegal alien from El Salvador, was charged for the murder of a teenage boy in King County, Washington. Officials with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) noted Iraheta-Vega, who has a history of arrests, would likely have been unable to allegedly commit the gruesome crime if local authorities had honored a detainer request by their agency.

What doesn’t fit neatly into GoFundMe’s salvation narratives are the limits of private efforts like Matt White’s. GoFundMe campaigns blend the well-intentioned with the cringeworthy, and not infrequently bring to mind the “White Savior Industrial Complex”—the writer Teju Cole’s phrase for the way sentimental stories of uplift can hide underlying structural problems. “The White Savior Industrial Complex is not about justice,” Cole wrote in 2012. “It is about having a big emotional experience that validates privilege.”

The project you’re funding had also better be something that appeals to ‘progressives’ or you will be de-platformed in a heartbeat..

The poor face typhoid and other debilitating diseases that were eliminated in civilized nations. People poop in the street for lack of indoor plumbing.

Instead of meeting the basic sanitation needs of its cities, the corrupt, one-party government squanders billions on an unneeded high-speed train. It will never be built but contracts are awarded to political insiders for work that will never be done. Because of this corruption, President Donald John Trump wants to curtail U.S. aid to the land.

Elsewhere in this nation state, electricity is a luxury as the power has been cut off to hundreds of thousands of citizens in preparation for a natural disaster.

In case you haven’t been keeping track of the behavioral sink that is modern Britain, they have a bit of a drug problem.

Children as young as nine are being recruited by county lines gangs as they increasingly target middle class “clean skins” to run drugs, the crime chief for Britain’s biggest children’s charity has revealed.

County lines gangs “exploit children and teenagers to take drugs from urban centres to country towns.” (No, I have no idea where they got that name — I suppose it’s a British thing.)

Ms Gradwell cited one case of a middle class child whose parents had disciplined him by “grounding him” at home and taken away his mobile phone.

So sophisticated is the intelligence networks of the gangs that he was identified and befriended. “The young lad got chatting with a gang member who offered him his spare phone,” said Ms Gradwell.

“They got friendly, then the next stage was: ‘I gave you a phone when you most needed it, now can you do me a favour and drop this package off.’”

After a series of similar jobs, he started getting a cut of the money, at which point the gang set up a “mugging” in which the drugs were stolen from the child. “He could not pay for them and became indebted,” said Ms Gradwell.

How long before this trick shows up in De Blasio’s New York City?

Washington Post headline:

No refugees allowed? Trump’s plan to give states and cities a veto prompts an outcry.

The president’s executive order is unprecedented in the history of U.S. refugee resettlements, a system that has long had bipartisan support. Advocates fear ugly debates if politicians try to restrict who can move in.

For some reason, none of the 12,900 residents of Malibu, with its 21 miles of coastline, were available for comment about how awful it would be if the citizens of states and localities would be allowed to debate whether to allow themselves to be targeted by private organizations planning upon influxes of outsiders.

That’s because most panels are designed to supply power to the grid — not directly to houses. During the heat of the day, solar systems can crank out more juice than a home can handle. Conversely, they don’t produce power at all at night. So systems are tied into the grid, and the vast majority aren’t working this week as PG&E Corp. cuts power to much of Northern California to prevent wildfires.

I was somewhere around Malmö on the edge of the tundra when the drugs began to take hold. I’m not a drug taker, but drugs must have played some role in the decision to turn this quaint Swedish city into the Beirut of the north. A third of the city population is foreign born, according to government reports. Given the nature of the Swedish government, those numbers are most likely wrong. Malmö now has the reputation for being the rape capital of the world, which is entirely due to immigration.

Hunter Biden is the ultimate fail-son, or black sheep.

For those who are unfamiliar with the term, it has emerged in recent years to describe the spoiled, sloppy and clumsily power-hungry offspring of powerful individuals. Hunter Biden is more infamous for his often drug-fueled antics, and the brief and embarrassingly public romance he shared with his deceased brother’s widow, than he is for being a successful businessman. But now his business career has been exposed for what it truly is: Foreign players hoping to use the younger Biden as a backdoor connection to the White House, and the American political elite.

Massachusetts Senator and 2020 hopeful Elizabeth Warren was no stranger to spreading tall tales about her life, just look at her false claims of being Native American. On Monday, The Washington Free Beacon caught her in another apparent lie. This time it was about allegedly being fired from a teaching gig for being “visibly pregnant”. The broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) were so obsessed with President Trump’s impeachment that they failed to report it on their flagship morning and evening newscasts.

A United Kingdom tribunal ruled against a Christian doctor’s discrimination claim, saying his view of what it means to be male and female is “incompatible with human dignity.”

Dr. David Mackereth, 56, a former disability claim assessor, had filed a claim that the Department for Work and Pensions discriminated against him after he was suspended for refusing to use transgender pronouns. The Christian doctor said he is “deeply concerned” by the July ruling, the BBC reported Wednesday.

The increasingly “woke” values of the educated upper classes reflect, as Alvin Toffler predicted almost half a century ago, the inevitable consequence of mass affluence, corporate concentration, and the shift to a service economy. The new elite, Toffler foresaw, would abandon traditional bourgeois values of hard work and family for “more aesthetic goals, self-fulfillment as well as unbridled hedonism.” Affluence, he observed, “serves as a base from which men begin to strive for post economic goals.”

The Other McCain is on the case.

Remember that the firing of Comey was the pretext for launching the Mueller “Russian collusion” witch-hunt.

Mr. Diaz’s attitude would, of course have been absolutely inconceivable to members of earlier classes at Yale. Students from humble backgrounds fortunate enough to have been admitted to this elite college in earlier (and better) days thanked their lucky stars at having been given the priceless opportunity to move upward in the world and were only too happy to work hard to earn it.

Unlike Dave, I didn’t have to work while at Yale — because I had spent the previous six years (during the Vietnam War) in the Navy, qualifying for the GI BIll (which covered about a third of it) and saving my money (which covered another third), as well as factory work over the summers. Yale also had (and probably still has) a generous student loan program, so I spent the ten years after I graduated paying off the remaining third.

Well, maybe.

Dreadlocks, by the way, are not a good look on a girl. They are associated with the patriarchal Rastafarians, like the late Bob Marley, who wore dreadlocks to resemble the Lion of Judah with a massive head. As of 2012, about 180 NFL players wore dreadlocks.

So it would hardly be surprising if a sixth-grade girl, or one of her friends, started trying to modify her hairdo, then discovered that cutting your own hair is typically not a good idea, especially in case, if I might speculate, your grandparents might have paid for an expensive dreadlocks weave.

On July 7, a young man from China crossed the border into Hong Kong, found the nearest KFC, and locked himself in the bathroom. He took out a pen and a paper sign, trembling at the thought of how his life was about to change. “I come from the mainland,” he wrote. “Thank you, Hongkongers! Don’t give up, fight for freedom!” Then he joined the protesters marching from Tsim Sha Tsui to West Kowloon, and held up his sign. When he returned to China the police arrested him, stripped him naked, forced him to sing “There is no new China without the Communist Party,” and held him in a room with forty other prisoners. They threatened to beat him to death for betraying the Chinese “race.”
