Joy Behar just sunk to a hysterical new low. She lashed out at President Trump on “The View” over the planned ICE raids for this weekend.

In comparison to what was happening a few years ago, the media and most of the left were silent when Obama deported mass amounts of illegal immigrants during his days.

No one said a word when Obama had to get rough after he faced a similar flood of immigrants and families at the southern border. Not one word about the cages he had to put children in when faced with the extraordinary emergency.

The Western Journal reported that Joy Behar crossed the line on Thursday’s program when she compared impending Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency “raids” to collect deportable criminal illegal aliens to the roundup of innocent Jews in Nazi Germany while a descendant of Polish Jews who survived the Holocaust was sitting right next to her.

“So here’s another outrage for you — there are reports today that Trump intends to move forward with his immigration raids targeting migrant families this weekend,” Joy Behar said to Bennet.

“I thought it was supposed to be gangs coming from these places, not families with children. He’s gonna raid these people’s houses and what have you, and it’s very reminiscent of Nazi Germany, just saying.”

“I know you’re not supposed to make that connection, but I’ve been around long enough and read enough to know that this is very similar to what happened to the Jews — go in and take them out of their houses,” Joy Behar added. “What are the Democrats going to do?”

Bennet, who appeared to have a forced, straight face while host Joy Behar made the shocking comparison, replied, “Well, we need to stand up to him.”

“Look, my mom and her parents were Polish Jews who survived the Holocaust. She was separated from her family during the course of the war,” he said.

“I’m not equating the Holocaust to this, but I do know something about what happens to somebody permanently if they’ve been separated,” Bennet added.

Last Wednesday, the co-founder of Home Depot, Bernie Marcus, slammed his critics who trashed him after he openly stated that he will vote for President Trump in 2020.

Bernie Marcus shared a post on Facebook in which he said that he was enjoying the celebration of his 90th birthday and the $117 million raised to honor him that were donated to four charities when he heard about the rampant criticism of him for the report he was supporting President Trump.

“Am I in China? Argentina? Russia? That’s what it feels like to me. It saddens me that our country has come to this, where I, as a private citizen, cannot express my feelings. It angers me and it saddens me, but it sure as hell is not going to stop me. If you thought it would, you’ve got the wrong guy.” He wrote on Facebook.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution published an interview with Bernie Marcus back in June 30 in which they noted that the Home Depot co-founder had donated roughly $250 million to build the Georgia Aquarium and millions more for an autistic center in Atlanta. AJC reported, “Marcus told the AJC that he plans to support the president’s re-election bid.”

This comment triggered anti-Trump partisans to attack Bernie Marcus on Twitter, calling for a boycott of Home Depot.

Forbes reported that Bernie Marcus has stated that he has donated over $2 billion to charitable organizations around the world. “It’s estimated he could give away over $6 billion in his lifetime.” Forbes added.

Marcus had told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, “Everything I live for now is finding the right things to put my money into and that can give me a rate of return in emotion and doing good things for this world.”

The complete text of Bernie Marcus’ Facebook post read:

I woke up this morning thinking it was going to be another great day. I’ve been celebrating with friends, family and the community since I turned 90. I’ve told you about the gracious gift of $117 million that was collected and given in my honor to four charities that mean a lot to me. All that happiness blew up because I said in a newspaper interview that I have supported and will continue to support Donald Trump.

Boom!

Negative stories… vicious threats, without cause, to boycott the company that has enabled my foundation to give billions to support autism, medical research, education, heart and neurological issues like stroke, and to help our veterans. The company that I retired from in 2002 and have not had a business relationship with in almost 20 years. A company that has employed more than a half-million people. The people who work there are affiliated with both political parties or no party at all. They are of all religions and all colors and backgrounds. Why would people want to hurt them?

All because I give my voice and some of my money to our President. Am I in China? Argentina? Russia? That’s what it feels like to me.

It saddens me that our country has come to this, where I, as a private citizen, cannot express my feelings. It angers me and it saddens me, but it sure as hell is not going to stop me. If you thought it would, you’ve got the wrong guy.

In the next ten years, God willing, I will accomplish more to save this world than my critics will do even if they had forty lifetimes.

The Toronto Sun reported that an electrical engineering professor from the University of California, Los Angeles has been found guilty by a jury of sending stolen U.S military technology to China.

On June 26 the 64-year-old professor, Yi-Chi Shih, was convicted on 18 federal charges, meaning he now faces fines of hundreds of thousands of dollars and up to 219 years in prison, as Newsweek reported.

News release from the Department of Justice show that the charges included conspiracy to break the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), committing mail and wire fraud, subscribing to a false tax return, making false statements to a government agency, and conspiring to gain unauthorized access to information on a protected computer.

Campus Reform reported that the professor has been serving as an adjunct prof. at the University of California and while he faces prison time, his sentencing hearing has not been set yet.

Assistant Attorney General Demers stated in the news release that “the defendant has been found guilty of conspiring to export sensitive semiconductor chips with military applications to China.”

“This defendant schemed to export to China semiconductors with military and civilian uses, then he lied about it to federal authorities and failed to report income generated by the scheme on his tax returns.” United States Attorney Nick Hanna stated.

Semiconductor chips called monolithic microwave integrated circuits are used in a variety of military tech including missiles, fighter jets, missile guidance systems, electronic warfare and countermeasures, radar applications etc.

Former Trump’s senior adviser and current Salem radio host, Sebastian Gorka, took on the liberal media and won big time yesterday.

Gorka was attending President Trump’s social media summit and when the President invited the attendees to sit for his press conference announcing his new executive order, the media was not happy.

The media complained about the seating and sparks flew as President Trump concluded his comments. Sebastian Gorka was not having CNN and Playboy reporter Brian Karem’s nonsense and called him out.

The Washington Examiner reported that several videos caught former White House staffer Sebastian Gorka shouting and getting into the face of a journalist who taunted him inside the Rose Garden on Thursday.

The confrontation took place after President Trump hosted a press conference announcing an executive order to tally non-citizens through the Commerce Department.

In a video leading up to the confrontation, Karem said the audience was a “group of people that are eager for demonic possession.” When Gorka shouted back at Karem, he said, “We can go outside and have a long conversation.”

“You’re a punk! You’re not a journalist! You’re a punk!” Sebastian Gorka shouted at Brian Karem, a CNN political analyst and reporter for Playboy.

Many guests who were invited to the social media summit cheered on Sebastian Gorka; another person can be heard saying he should not be “attacking journalists like this.”

A Secret Service agent then made an attempt to keep the two groups separate. It was a real show.

House Minority Whip Steve Scalise chimed in on the dispute that has broken out across the political aisle between Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Nancy Pelosi and Ocasio-Cortez thrust their fight into overdrive this week. The freshman representative claimed that the speaker was “singling out” the newly elected progressives — including herself and Reps. Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley, because they are young women of color.

Obviously, this fight is not a great look for the Democrats as Nancy Pelosi is trying to show her caucus as unified front against President Trump.

During an interview on Fox News with “America’s Newsroom,” Steve Scalise was asked about the infighting across the aisle. Scalise noted that he expects the rhetoric being used by both sides to keep “getting uglier.”

“Well, it’s ugly and getting uglier. And you are seeing this fight between the far left socialists and liberals. It used to be, in the Democratic Party, a fight between liberals and moderates.” He said.

“There are no moderates left. It’s literally liberals versus socialists and the socialists are winning. And for Nancy Pelosi to think that she can silence A.O.C. and these others these other far left socialists, just shows that she’s out of touch with what is happening in her own conference. And that, I think, is shocking a lot of people.” Scalise said.

He also reiterated that he believes Nancy Pelosi is “misreading” the “grip” Rep. Ocasio-Cortez and her peers have on the Democrats in Congress. Scalise also claimed that the Dems in moderate districts have been trying to appease the far-left side of the party by fully supporting issues like gun control and abortion, but it isn’t enough to keep Rep. Ocasio-Cortez happy.

“A.O.C. is threatening some of the liberals that she’s going to run somebody in their primary if they don’t vote for mainstream policies. I mean, a lot of them ran saying they were going to be pro-life, pro-gun, and anti-Pelosi. And they’re all voting to allow a baby to be murdered after it is born alive.” He said.

“They’re voting to raise taxes, they’re voting to take away your gun rights, and they’re voting down the line with Nancy Pelosi. And yet, that is not enough for A.O.C. it and the socialist. So, they’re having this internal struggle.” Scalise claimed.

Although Steve Scalise criticized Nancy Pelosi, he didn’t have many kind words for Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, either. Scalise claimed that she is making this issue “all about her,” rather than the work of the American people.

President Trump’s lawyers took an extraordinary step and released a video that calls into question the honesty of one of his accusers.

Alva Johnson, a former campaign staffer, sued him over an unwanted kiss, and now her lawsuit is in trouble. Shockingly, Johnson’s lawyers say the video proves their point and is not damaging to their case.

The New York Post reported that President Trump’s lawyers have released a video showing him kissing a former campaign staffer on the cheek — and arguing that it contradicts her claims that he forcibly kissed her on the mouth.

The 15-second video shows the then-presidential candidate interacting with staffer Alva Johnson on a crowded RV in August 2016 and was filed in response to her lawsuit.

Johnson, wearing a white hat, can be heard telling him that she’s been “away from my family for eight months for you.”

President Trump then grabs her by the shoulders and kisses her right cheek, as she says, “We’re going to get you in the White House. I’ll see you in February.”

In a motion filed Wednesday in Florida federal court, the President’s legal team argued that the video proves that Alva Johnson and her lawyer have “lied repeatedly” about the brief interaction.

Johnson, a mother of four from Alabama, claimed President Trump “forcibly” planted a kiss on her mouth and grabbed her hand without letting go.

“The two have a very brief, innocent interaction that is mutual — and not forcible,” President Trump’s lawyers said in court papers.

“If Plaintiff had been attacked, as she alleges, one would expect a far different response than telling him she’ll help him get elected President of the United States,” they said. “That is the response of a person who is moved in a positive way by her candidate’s show of appreciation and recognition of her dedicated service to his campaign.”

The video was recorded by Brian Hayes, a campaign volunteer who was in the RV at the time and made the recording on his phone, according to court papers.

When it comes to who he will be backing up in the 2020 presidential election, Oscar winner Jon Voight made it clear that it will be President Trump.

The actor wrote on Tuesday to his “fellow Americans,” and posted a video about his continued support of President Trump.

“I say this truly from a place of God’s truths — our nation is stronger and wiser because we have taken a chance on a man who has become the greatest president,” Jon Voight said.

As for the upcoming presidential election, Jon Voight called on Americans to “continue this race of truths and stand with President Trump for his next win.”

Voight called the possibility of President Trump’s reelection “more than a win” for Americans.

“This is God’s honor, God’s trust for this nation,” Voight stated.

“This is America. This land of the free. This is our president, Donald Trump, that will set the nation to be the greatest land of peace and love — great again. God bless.”

“Thank you so much [Jon Voight]!” President Trump tweeted in response.

This wasn’t Voight’s first time to show his support for President Trump. As previously reported, the actor noted in another video that Trump “has [his] utmost respect,” while calling on Americans to “stand with [the] president.”

“Don’t be fooled by the political left because we are the people of this nation that is witnessing triumph. So let us stand with our president,” Voight previously said. “Let us stand up for this truth: that President Trump is the greatest president since Abraham Lincoln.”

Many Hollywood celebrities have tossed their money and support for Democratic candidates. However, President Trump garnered several celebrity supporters as well. The president, though, seems very thankful to have Jon Voight’s support ahead of his 2020 race for reelection.

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claimed that the complete U.S. Department of Homeland Security should be scrapped for the situation at the southern border.

The DHS was created following the September 11 terrorist attacks. Less than two weeks after the attack, then-President George W. Bush started an Office of Homeland Security within the White House. That office became an official department of the U.S. government following the Homeland Security Act in November 2002, with its official start in March 2003.

Today, the DHS is responsible for many areas of security within our country, including counter-terrorism, protecting cyber-security, securing the borders and training states to prepare against various attacks.

As the agency settled into its role within our government, it also became the home for many other agencies, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

These two agencies have been the center of the public’s attention, as immigrants continue to pour over our southern border from Central America and Mexico. Rep. Ocasio-Cortez has been one of the loudest critics of ICE and CBP, especially following her recent visit to an overcrowded detention facility at the border with Mexico.

As previously reported, the freshman representative was said to have shouted at agents during her visit and accused the agency of maintaining unacceptable conditions for the immigrants.

The feud between the agencies and Rep. Ocasio-Cortez became even more hostile after a Facebook page of border patrol agents was found to have many sexists and threatening comments about Ocasio-Cortez.

Rep. Ocasio-Cortez appeared on an interview with The New Yorker Radio, and told host David Remnick that she believes Congress should “get rid” of the whole Department of Homeland Security, including ICE and CBP. (audio at bottom)

Ocasio-Cortez: ICE is not under [the Department of Justice], it’s under the Department of Homeland Security and so…

Remnick: Would you get rid of Homeland Security, too?

Ocasio-Cortez: I think so.

Ocasio-Cortez said that she want’s congress to “undo” the “egregious mistakes of the Bush administration.” She concluded by saying that Congress should have “never created” DHS.

Mike Rowe is a wise man. He decided to weigh in on the Colin Kaepernick controversy and boy does his words make sense. While showing respect for Colin Kaepernick’s right to do whatever ever he pleases, Mike Rowe took apart his argument piece by piece.

Rowe took to Facebook and posted his answer one of his followers’ questions: why would Nike listen to washed up quarterback Colin Kaepernick?

“I think Nike has the right to decorate their shoes with whatever flag they desire. I think Kaepernick has the right to offer marketing advice to any company that’ll take it. And I think you and I have the right to purchase whatever brand of tennis shoes we choose,” he explained in a long Facebook post.

“In other words, I’m tempted on this day to remind you that there’s nothing inherently dangerous about a sneaker company currying favor with a woke athlete, or fellow citizens complaining about displays of patriotism and military might. On the other hand, I think Ronald Reagan was right when he said we’re always one generation away from losing the freedoms we currently enjoy,” Rowe said.

“Along with the siren song of socialism, the persistent promise of ‘free’ stuff, and the breathtaking level of censorship on our college campuses, I worry about the growing belief among many that we can somehow improve our present by erasing our past; by toppling statues, outlawing ‘problematic’ symbols, or rewriting specific pieces of our history in ways that leave us feeling less offended.” He continued.

Mike Rowe has a point. We are having an extreme shift in our country. Being patriotic, loving our nation and our flag is seen as a bad thing. The Left has dubbed “nationalism” as a bad thing, comparable to the time of Nazi Germany, which is the furthest thing from reality. And the comparison is extremely rude to people who love our country.

Those who love our nation and are willing to fight for her are patriots. They’re people who understand that the United States has an incredible system. No, it’s not 100% perfect, but it’s pretty darn flawless and rewarding for hard working people.

“People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf,” Mike Rowe finished, praising the U.S. military and our veterans for their sacrifice.

Coffee giant Starbucks is facing a boycott as many of its customers are angry at the response to police presence in one of their stores.

Starbucks caught the media’s attention earlier, when a store in Tempe, Arizona kicked out a bunch of police officers for the crime of being police offices.

“This treatment of public safety workers could not be more disheartening,” the police union wrote. “While the barista was polite, making such a request at all was offensive. Unfortunately, such treatment has become all too common in 2019.”

Now customers are furious with Starbucks, and their corporate, for not stepping in to do something for the police officers and the charge was led by Tomi Lahren.

“If you “don’t feel safe” around police, wait till you don’t have them to rely on. The disrespect for law enforcement in this country is disgusting.” Tomi Lahren posted on Twitter.

Many social media users joined Lahren and expressed their dissatisfaction about the incident.

“I feel unsafe around people who feel unsafe around police.” said a post on Twitter.

“I dumped Starbucks 2yrs ago. Their lack of respect for those who serve is 1 reason. The self entitled punks they hire is another. I support local cawfee shops” said another tweet.

“So disappointed Starbucks asked my coworkers to leave because a customer was uncomfortable with so many cops in one place. They were just taking a breather with some coffee before fireworks started. #starbucks is garbage. Support small businesses instead!” said another tweet.
