Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott Signs Bill Prohibiting Sanctuary Cities In His State

Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott has just signed a vigorously aggressive anti-sanctuary bill for Texas into law.

Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott has just signed a bill that outlaws sanctuary cities in his state.

Here’s an HD version of the video:

Here’s CNN’s sanctuary cities video which explains what these cities do and do not do.

Here’s the HD of that video:

If this doesn’t show you how racist Republicans are when it comes to independent migrants (as introduced by Sheldon Richman back in 2006), I don’t know what will.

Real Time with Bill Maher Host Bill Maher’s Interview with Limousine Liberal Democrat (and Hollywood Actress) America Ferrera

HBO‘s Real Time with Bill Maher host Bill Maher interviewed ubiquitous limousine liberal Democrat, Hillary Clinton supporter, and Hollywood actress America Ferrera on his Friday, July 22, 2016 show (Episode 398) and discussed why she’s behind Clinton all the way, which led to a panel discussion that became superficially heated. She comes off as very insulting, very condescending, and very obtuse during the interview, although she initially had me on the immigration issue considering she correctly addressed the lies that Republicans have been spilling on so-called “illegal immigrants.”* [*Note: I prefer to call them “independent migrants” thanks to my old left-libertarian mentor Sheldon Richman who understands the issue better than *ANY* Republican known on record.]

The panel line-up included MTV News and New York Times progressive author and blogger Ana Marie Cox, progressive “Superpower: Three Choices for America’s Role in the World” author and Eurasia Group President Ian Bremmer,  and Trump supporter and former U.S. Representative Jack Kingston (R-GA) (who was incidentally receiving more flak from Ferrera, Maher, and Cox during the last segment of the show).

Here’s the YouTube of the interview portion of the show, broadcasted on July 22, 2016:

That’s pretty much the size of everything.

Prominent Libertarian Sheldon Richman Unfortunately Supports Bernie Sanders

On February 9 on my Facebook feed, prominent libertarian (well, more of a leftist libertarian) Sheldon Richman unfortunately, with shocking surprise to all within what’s left of the libertarian movement, supports Bernie Sanders.

Yes, I’m talking about *THE* Sheldon Richman who works for the Future of Freedom Foundation (FFF), who has worked for the Foundation on Economic Education, who happens to be the Center for a Stateless Society (C4SS)’s Chair of the C4SS Trustees, and who writes his own blog Free Association.

I must say I am disheartened, dismayed, and disappointed. While I’ve seen a deteriorating effect having been placed on the entire libertarian movement for the longest time, it’s worse now than ever, simply because one of my greatest mentors is supporting a socialist who is vile, diabolical, and tyrannical in every way from an economic and, to a certain extent, social standpoint.

Here’s what he posted on Facebook:

My reaction on my Facebook  feed was less than kind, so to speak.

Victor Bozzo, who is an Anarchist friend of mine on FB, was both disgusted and wretched over what Sheldon stated and had this to say:

Victor Bozzo Response to Sheldon and Sharing My Post Clip

To see this nonsense from an old mentor is just insanity.

I hate to say this, but Sheldon Richman is no longer my mentor. I’m done with him. He’s been a left-libertarian loon for quite some time, and I’ve held back from stating how I truly felt about him, but his betrayal of his principles was the sledgehammer that broke the camel’s…..or is it Donkey’s?…..back.
