Travel Ban 2.0
After consideration of a horrible attack on elderly Jewish American citizens by someone in the country illegally, President Trump signed his second travel ban late yesterday. You may all recall Trump's first travel ban that was tied up for months by district court judges launching injunctions. That ended up in the Supreme Court and to the surprise of none, the high Court in the summer of 2018 cited the president's broad authority to restrict the entry of foreigners on national security grounds. There will likely be legal challenges again but this time the ban will easily withstand them.
Right now, the President has imposed a travel ban on: Afghanistan, Chad, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Myanmar, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. He also imposed visa restrictions on other countries.
When it starts: The ban goes into effect on Monday.
Will it last? A travel ban in Trump’s first term led to chaos and court battles. This time, the ban appears to be rock solid.
The reason : In announcing the ban, Trump declared that foreigners who were not properly vetted posed a risk. It is impossible to vet people from certain places. He cited the recent arrest of an Egyptian man who overstayed a tourist visa and was charged with attacking Jewish protesters in Colorado.
There’s also a list of exceptions, including green card holders, dual citizens, athletes traveling to the U.S. for the World Cup or the Olympics, and others.
Now maybe we might be a bit safer.

Good morning and welcome to the news.
Trump ordered the White House counsel and the attorney general to investigate Joe Biden and his staff. The government will examine if some of Biden’s presidential actions were legally invalid because his aides enacted those policies without his knowledge.
And Biden has come out stating that he made all decisions. I said yesterday that unless someone comes out and states that they themselves used the autopen to get around Biden, nothing much will come of this. I think the best we can hope for is that future use of the autopen will be regulated and tightly controlled and very transparent in it's use. But somehow I doubt we will see any change.
This is going to be one of those things like the OJ trial. We all know what really happened, and they're going to walk away.
I don't know about anyone else, but this is exactly what I voted for.
It's so good!
There is a lot being done differently than from his 1st term. A lot more is being backed by the SCOTUS despite the whining and crying from the left.
As I recall, his first ban was based on putting it into effect quickly. Despite the challenges and injunctions, we knew that a President has such authority. It took what seemed like forever to get it to the Supreme Court and democrats even when the Court eventually sided with Trump, gloated over the fact that they had tied up the ban for so long that it was almost meaningless. Now, however Trump can pick it up from there already with the win under his belt. I'm so glad he did this.
Democrats are still trying to figure out how to get workers back and men back.
Democrats frustrated over party’s plan to take men from Trump
Have to keep them from entering because Democratic activists refuse to deport them no matter what they do once they get in.
That's 100% right.
Another amazing fact. Just like the guy with the flamethrower AND his family. They were all marked for deportation.
I guess Egypt hasnt quite made it into the category of "shithole country" yet.

"A federal judge has dismissed Jewish students' lawsuit against the University of Pennsylvania over antisemitism, but allowed them to file an amended complaint to flesh out a couple of their claims.
The lawsuit, which was originally filed by two UPenn students and an alumnus in December with the nonprofit Students Against Antisemitism, alleges that after the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel, the university "has permitted, tolerated and/or facilitated multiple antisemitic incidents on its campus that have created a hostile educational environment for Jewish students."

Trump, Xi hold call amid stalled tariff talks
Whoop de doo.
What did the New York Times say this morning? Did they ask why he didn't put a ban on Egypt after citing an Egyptian terrorist?
I read that at about 7:15 AM. You have to get up very early to try and outdo old Vic.
People dont have to get up to out do Vic. They can do it in their sleep.
If there are such people, you certainly aren't one of them
You are precious Vic. Everyone who wants to step on you does.
Immature personal attacks sure would not lead one to believe that is true.
That is something the left refuses to acknowledge. The reciprocal tariffs are having a positive effect.
