Smoke signals say Elizabeth Warren’s presidential dreams are over
When the fake Indian loses both The New York Times and The Boston Globe on the same day, you know she’s lost America.
Well, her America anyway – the virtue-signaling PC America of trust funds, grievance peddlers, fake hate crimes, candlelight vigils, Harvard Square cheese shops and smug yard signs proclaiming “Hate Has No Home Here.”
What an ignominious end for Harvard Law School’s “first woman of color,” and just because it turned out that Elizabeth Warren’s color was white – alabaster in fact. She’s whiter than Casper the Friendly Ghost dipped in a vat of Elmer’s Glue. More

Denmark Has Had Enough
Foreign criminals sentenced to deportation are to be banished to a remote island off the coast of Denmark, the country's government has announced.
Finance minister Kristian Jensen said the criminals will be detained at a facility on Lindholm, an uninhabited seven-hectare island in the province of Vordingborg.
The tough scheme was set up as part of an agreement between Denmark’s conservative coalition government and its anti-immigration ally, the Danish People’s Party (DF). A spokesman for the party said: "Foreign criminals have no reason to be in Denmark. Until we can get rid of them, we will move them to the island of Lindholm, where they will be obliged to stay at the new deportation centre at night. "There will be police there around the clock."

Caravan Update

In an interview with Fox News last Friday, the mayor of Tijuana said the people responsible for putting together the migrant caravans “are the real criminals.”
Mayor Manuel Gastélum did not hold back when he described that those who people who put this march together should be held accountable. He said the leaders of the caravan should face criminal charges.“Those are the real criminals because they're dealing with the lives of people,” he says.

On Saturday, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador aka AMLO who is the new president of Mexico officially took office and in one of this first acts, dealt a stunning blow to open borders advocates.
AMLO signed a deal with three other Latin American countries to work to choke off the flow of migrants to the U.S. in a move that will also benefit his own country by keeping the migrant caravans out of Mexico. “Mexico’s new president signs deal to stop migrants”:

I guess the people of Mexico don’t like the illegal alien caravan invaders either. Especially since right now, they aren’t just bypassing Mexico and hopping right into the U.S. A poll from Mexican newspaper El Universal shows that 73.1% of Mexican citizens have a negative view of the illegal alien caravan invasion. 46% of those surveyed think crime will increase in Mexico because of these invaders and 27.1% would think the caravan invaders would “take jobs away from Mexicans”.
