Radical Dem Governor Who Defends Illegal Aliens Signs Order Refusing J6 Prisoners From State Employment

Radical Dem Governor Who Defends Illegal Aliens Signs Order Refusing J6 Prisoners From State Employment

The radical Democrat Governor of Illinois, JB Pritzker, appears to be setting himself up for a discrimination suit. Gov. Pritzker has been infuriating residents of Illinois over his proud defense of illegal alien criminals in his state.

Earlier this week, law enforcement officers in the state openly condemned the Democrat governor’s protection of illegal aliens. They called him out for telling sheriffs to “stop coordinating with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement when undocumented criminals are released from prison. “This is unconscionable, dangerous and puts our most vulnerable citizens, our children, at risk,” Livingston County Sheriff Tony Childress told the media during a press conference on Saturday.

Watch:

It is amazing how many failures @GovPritzker has on his gubernatorial legacy but none will be as great as his double down harboring of illegals in Illinois.

Let me be clear: Pritzker has made our state less safe. pic.twitter.com/ryzpzsp0mq

Meanwhile, the loose cannon governor made it even more clear that he is not fit to hold the highest office in the state with a newly signed order prohibiting January 6 political prisoners from being hired to work for the state of Illinois in any capacity.

In his letter, Pritzker refers to all of the January 6 political prisoners as “rioters,” which Americans know is just not true. A large majority of the individuals imprisoned under Joe Biden’s unjust “Justice” system were non-violent offenders. Many of them entered the doors of the Capitol, which were being held open by Capitol Police officers. This gross mischaracterization of the Jan 6 political prisoners, in and of itself, is ridiculous, coming from the state’s top official.  How is the Democrat governor’s  statement any different than calling a peaceful BLM protester who walked peacefully down the streets of Chicago a “violent BLM thug?”

Governor Pritzker’s letter reads:

One of my most important duties as Governor is protecting public safety in the State of Illinois. Recently, Donald Trump issued more than 1,500 clemencies and pardons for individuals who were convicted or accused of rioting at the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.

These rioters attacked law enforcement officers protecting people in the Capitol, disrupted the peaceful transfer of power, and undermined bedrock principles of American democracy. These rioters were accused or convicted of a combination of felonies and misdemeanors, including but not limited to: violence against law enforcement officers, threats against Members of Congress, destruction of federal property, and many other crimes. These crimes attacks threatened public safety as Members of Congress, staff, and other workers who were forced to hide from the violence for hours.

I am committed to building a State workforce that upholds our shared values and delivers results for the people of Illinois. Our State workforce must reflect the values of Illinois and demonstrate honesty, integrity, and loyalty to serving the taxpayers. No one who attempts to overthrow a government should serve in government.

The State’s Personnel Code, administered by the Department of Central Management Services (CMS) and by you as its Director, requires the rejection of candidates for State employment who have engaged in infamous or disgraceful conduct (20 ILCS 415/8b.4). To protect the integrity of our workforce and safety of our State, I hereby direct CMS to apply the State Personnel Code and consider any participation in the January 6 insurrection as infamous and disgraceful conduct that is antithetical to the mission of the State.

Thank you for your leadership at CMS building a workforce that reflects our shared values, prioritizes
public safety, and prevents these rioters from attacking the rule of law in Illinois.

Does Governor Pritzker give the same treatment to all citizens of his state who have been released from jail or pardoned? Is he trying to be sued?

Here’s the image of the order signed by IL Governor Pritzker discriminating against J6 political prisoners pardoned by President Trump:

Democrat Governor Pritzker’s time would be much better spent protecting his citizens from violent criminals from other countries instead of focusing on political retribution against President Trump’s supporters.

BREAKING: HUGE SCALP: Trump Fires Head of FBI Washington Field Office David Sundberg – Cans More Than 20 Heads of FBI Field Offices

President Trump fired the head of the FBI Washington Field Office, according to NBC News reporter Ken Dilanian.

David Sundberg is the highest ranking FBI official to be fired in Trump’s second term. Trump fired FBI Director James Comey during his first term.

Sundberg oversaw the January 6 investigation and the investigation into the so-called DNC pipe bomber.

According to NBC’s Ken Dilanian, the purge is much larger than originally reported and includes more than 20 heads of FBI Field Offices.

The purge is bigger than first understood, we are told, and includes more than 20 heads of FBI field offices, including the ones in Miami and Washington, DC. https://t.co/p2ogRN8TJV

— Ken Dilanian (@KenDilanianNBC) January 31, 2025

NBC News reported:

David Sundberg, the assistant director in charge of the FBI Washington Field Office, was notified Thursday that he was going to lose his job and is preparing to leave the bureau, according to two senior law enforcement sources — the latest step in an unprecedented purge of top executives at FBI headquarters as well as leadership in FBI field offices across the country.

Sundberg is the highest-ranking field agent so far to be fired from the FBI in Trump’s second term.

Sundberg, who joined the FBI in 2002, was put in charge of the Washington Field Office by then-FBI Director Christopher Wray in December 2022. It is one of the highest-profile positions an agent can achieve in the field at the FBI.

Special agents from the Washington Field Office were heavily involved in former Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigations of now-President Donald Trump, as well as the sprawling investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol that resulted in criminal charges against hundreds.

Affordable for even the tightest budgets

And they help support American jobs and families

If you’ve never heard of them before, that’s no surprise.

The only way to shop with them is through a private invite.

Here’s what other American patriots who’ve made the switch had to say:

“I love that I can get the highest quality US made products at wholesale prices, and support American business and families. Because of this I am no longer funding the enemy! – John

“When I found out the natural family owned brands I was using were bought out by these mega-corporations, I knew I had to make the switch. – Jessie

“I reluctantly decided to test the store and was shocked to find out how much I loved the products and service. On top of that, the prices are great. They have gained a lifelong customer!” – Gene

Since everyone gets personal attention, they will take requests in the order in which they come in. So if you are ready, ask for your invite now or you might be far down on the list. They have a great team, but they can only do so much and they’ll work on a first-come, first-served basis.

WINNING! Colombian President Gustavo Petro Urges All His Country’s Illegal Aliens to Return Home ‘Immediately’

Colombian President Gustavo Petro (Credit: REPÚBLICA DE COLOMBIA)

Colombian President Gustavo Petro has urged all illegal aliens residing in the United States to return home.

In a post on the X platform, Petro promised all those who leave the U.S. “productive loans” that he said will help return the country to prosperity.

He wrote:

I ask undocumented Colombians in the US to immediately leave their jobs in that country and return to Colombia as soon as possible.

Wealth is produced only by working people.

The Department of Social Prosperity, DPS, will seek to provide productive loans to returnees who enroll in its programs.

Let’s build social wealth in Colombia.

Le solicito a las colombianas y colombianos sin documentos en EEUU dejar sus trabajos de inmediato en ese país y retornar a Colombia lo más pronto posible

La riqueza la produce solo el pueblo trabajador.

El Departamento de Prosperidad Social, DPS, buscará entregar créditos…

— Gustavo Petro (@petrogustavo) January 31, 2025

The suggestion comes less than a week after he was forced into a humiliating U-turn by Donald Trump.

After initially refusing to accept a deportation flight from the U.S. on the grounds that the “dignity” of his fellow citizens was being violated, Petro folded like a cheap suit when Trump threatened to impose tariffs and sanctions on those affiliated with the Colombian government.

“The Government of Colombia has agreed to all of President Trump’s terms, including the unrestricted acceptance of all illegal aliens from Colombia returned from the United States, including on U.S. military aircraft, without limitation or delay,” Trump’s press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement.

The Government of Colombia has agreed to all of President Trump’s terms pic.twitter.com/mQocusSGOC

— Karoline Leavitt (@PressSec) January 27, 2025

While Petro did not explicitly admit defeat, he acknowledged it by reposting the statement from Leavitt on his X profile.

A significant proportion of America’s illegal alien population comes from Colombia, as well as other socialist Latin American countries, including Venezuela and Nicaragua.

Petro’s position is quite a turnaround from what he was saying last year.

In December, he threatened to send “millions” of migrants through the Darien Gap towards the U.S. if Trump followed through on his pledge to retake the Panama Canal.

“Until the last consequences I will be on the side of Panama and the defense of its sovereignty,” he said at the time.

“If the new US government wants to talk business, we will talk business, face to face, and for the benefit of our people, but dignity will never be negotiated.”

President Trump has made a mistake and contradicted himself,” he continued. If he does not want myriads crossing the Darien, increased by millions from Panama to Mexico, he must understand that it will depend on the prosperity and freedom of our peoples.

NEW: Trump Orders Federal Workers to Remove Pronouns From Employee Signatures by 5 PM Today

President Donald Trump visited western North Carolina to meet with families affected by Hurricane Helene.

President Trump ordered federal employees to remove pronouns from their email signatures by 5 pm Friday, ABC News reported.

This is Trump’s latest move to torpedo toxic DEI policies that have infected the government.

Last week Trump signed an executive order declaring there only two sexes:

It is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female. These sexes are not changeable and are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality. Under my direction, the Executive Branch will enforce all sex-protective laws to promote this reality, and the following definitions shall govern all Executive interpretation of and application of Federal law and administration policy:

(a) “Sex” shall refer to an individual’s immutable biological classification as either male or female. “Sex” is not a synonym for and does not include the concept of “gender identity.”

(b) “Women” or “woman” and “girls” or “girl” shall mean adult and juvenile human females, respectively.

(c) “Men” or “man” and “boys” or “boy” shall mean adult and juvenile human males, respectively.

(d) “Female” means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell.

(e) “Male” means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the small reproductive cell.

(f) “Gender ideology” replaces the biological category of sex with an ever-shifting concept of self-assessed gender identity, permitting the false claim that males can identify as and thus become women and vice versa, and requiring all institutions of society to regard this false claim as true. Gender ideology includes the idea that there is a vast spectrum of genders that are disconnected from one’s sex. Gender ideology is internally inconsistent, in that it diminishes sex as an identifiable or useful category but nevertheless maintains that it is possible for a person to be born in the wrong sexed body.

(g) “Gender identity” reflects a fully internal and subjective sense of self, disconnected from biological reality and sex and existing on an infinite continuum, that does not provide a meaningful basis for identification and cannot be recognized as a replacement for sex.

ABC News reported:

Employees at multiple federal agencies were ordered to remove pronouns from their email signatures by Friday afternoon, according to internal memos obtained by ABC News that cited two executive orders signed by President Donald Trump on his first day in office seeking to curb diversity and equity programs in the federal government.

“Pronouns and any other information not permitted in the policy must be removed from CDC/ATSDR employee signatures by 5.p.m. ET on Friday,” according to one such message sent Friday morning from Jason Bonander, the CDC’s Chief Information Officer. “Staff are being asked to alter signature blocks by 5.p.m. ET today (Friday, January 31, 2025) to follow the revised policy.”

Federal employees with the Department of Transportation received a similar directive on Thursday, the same day the department was managing the fallout from the D.C. plane crash near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.

Employees were instructed to remove pronouns from everything from government grant applications to email signatures across the department, sources told ABC News.

Italian Authorities Reject Asylum Requests of 43 Illegal Migrants Shipped To Processing Centers Abroad – They Now Face Repatriation Directly From Albania

Illegal migrants deported from Italy arrive in the processing facilities in Albania.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has been widely – and rightfully – credited with ‘cracking the code’ and finding a way to tackle migration effectively from within the framework of the permissive EU ‘asylum’ policies and regulations.

Even Globalist leaders like European Commissioner Ursula von der Leyen, outgoing German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer have expressed admiration for Meloni’s approach to solving this dire problem.

Italian courts have blocked the first two attempts by the Italian government in October and November, but Meloni is persisting, and the third shipment of illegal migrants has been sent to the processing centers in Albania, and so far, no judicial decisions have overturned the process.

Yesterday (31), Italian authorities rejected the asylum requests of 43 of the asylum-seekers transferred to Albania. This was done in the new speedy procedure that – as you would expect – is drawing criticism from the inevitable NGOs.

Albanian PM Edi Rama and Italy’s Giorgia Meloni.

Read: Successful Agreement Between Italy and Albania Bears Fruit, as Two Centers in the Eastern European Country Are Ready To Receive, Screen and Accommodate Intercepted Illegals

Associated Press reported:

“’The [asylum] commission is clearly operating in line with the expressed desire of the government to refuse the asylum requests, in violation of international, European and constitutional law’, the TAI Asylum and Immigration Board said in a statement.

The migrants were among 49 people who were transferred to Albania on an Italian naval ship Tuesday under a five-year agreement with Albania to process asylum cases outside EU borders in centers built and operated by Italy. Italian media reported they were from Bangladesh, Egypt, Ivory Coast and Gambia.”

In this latest group sent to the centers, five migrants were returned to Italy immediately because they were minors or else deemed vulnerable.

43 underwent a speedy asylum hearing – all denied, and one additional case will be heard separately.

Illegal migrants boating to Italy may find themselves in Albania instead, waiting to be repatriated.

Read: Italian Government Approves Decree To Overcome Judicial Block Against Groundbreaking Deal To Send Illegal Migrants to Center in Albania for Processing Asylum Requests

The expedited way in which Italy is processing and repatriating the illegals is shocking the pro-migrant NGOs, but in March, the European Union is to review its asylum and migration policies, and the open tendency is to move towards a similar plan to the one Meloni is implementing.

“The 43 asylum-seekers did not have legal counsel, nor did they have enough time to prepare themselves properly for the hearing, the [TAI] delegation said. In all cases, authorities deemed the asylum request ’unfounded’.”

The asylum-seekers with denied requests have seven days to go to an Italian court to appeal the decision.

They face repatriation directly from Albania as per the agreement with Italy.

Shocking New Footage of US Military Helicopter Collision with American Airlines Released — Trump Says Black Hawk was Flying Above Limit

Screenshot: CNN

Newly released footage has revealed shocking details about the tragic collision between a US military helicopter and an American Airlines passenger jet near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport last Wednesday, which killed all 67 people aboard both aircraft.

The American Airlines flight 5342, operated by PSA Airlines and flying from Wichita, Kansas, collided with a military helicopter over the Potomac River while on its final approach to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. The impact caused both aircraft to crash into the Potomac River.

According to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, the Army unit involved was Bravo Company, 12th Aviation Battalion, which is based at Fort Belvoir.

The Black Hawk’s crew was operating under night vision conditions, and the purpose of the flight was to maintain required operational proficiency.

“It was an annual proficiency training flight,” said Hegseth in a video statement.

“When we look at the crew, and not all can have been notified, so we’re going to withhold the ranks and names at this point. We do know on our side who was involved.

He added, “It was a fairly experienced crew that was doing a required annual night evaluation. They did have night vision goggles.”

Exclusive information obtained earlier by Fox News revealed that the instructor pilot in command of the Black Hawk had logged over 1,000 flying hours.

Meanwhile, the co-pilot, a woman with 500 flying hours, possessed what is regarded as a standard level of experience within aviation circles.

The crew chief of the ill-fated U.S. Army helicopter has been identified as Ryan O’Hara, a 2014 graduate of Parkview High School in Lilburn, Georgia.

Chief Warrant Officer Andrew Eaves, one of the pilots aboard the Black Hawk, leaves behind a wife and children.

The American Airlines flight crew involved in the tragic midair collision has also been released. The crew members have been identified as:

Captain Jonathan Campos
First Officer Samuel Lilley
Flight Attendant Ian Epstein
Flight Attendant Danasia Elder

Newly surfaced footage obtained by CNN has provided a clearer picture of the events leading up to the disaster.

WATCH:

NEW: President Trump is questioning the situation surrounding the Black Hawk’s collision with the American Airlines flight as new footage is released.

In a post on Truth, Trump appeared to disclose that the pilot was flying above the 200 foot limit.

Preliminary investigations suggest that air traffic control had communicated with the helicopter about the incoming passenger jet seconds before the collision.

The helicopter pilot reportedly acknowledged the message, but the subsequent actions remain under scrutiny.

In the recording, an air traffic controller can be heard asking the helicopter pilot, “PAT 25, do you have the CRJ in sight?”

The controller then instructs, “PAT 25, pass behind the CRJ.” However, no response is heard from the helicopter crew.

On Friday, Trump issued a new statement regarding the tragic collision, stating, “The Blackhawk helicopter was flying too high, by a lot. It was far above the 200-foot limit. That’s not really too complicated to understand, is it???”

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has recovered the flight data recorders from both aircraft and is analyzing the information to determine the cause of the accident, according to BBC.

5-Yr-Old Boy Killed After Hyperbaric Chamber in Michigan Explodes With Him Inside [VIDEO]

Shortly before 8 a.m., a 5-year-old boy from Royal Oak, MI, was inside a hyperbaric chamber at The Oxford Center, a medical facility at 165 Kirts Blvd in Troy, MI, where he was being treated when the chamber exploded with the young boy inside.

Troy Police and the Troy Fire Department responded immediately to the scene, where they discovered the boy was already deceased. According to the Troy Police, “The mother suffered injuries to her arms as she was standing next to the cylinder when it exploded.” The name of the 5-year-old boy has not yet been released. Please pray for this little boy and his family.

Troy Police Department’s Lieutenant Ben Hancock addressed the media following the horrific explosion. “A hyperbaric chamber contains 100% oxygen, which is up to five times the amount of oxygen in a normal room. The presence of such a high amount of oxygen in a pressurized environment can make it extremely combustible,” Troy Fire Department Lieutenant Keith Young told the media. “Our initial research shows that this is not a common incident, and the scene remains under active investigation,” he added.

Watch a portion of the press conference with the Troy Police Department and Troy Fire Department, as they explain what they know so far about the explosion:

TRAGIC!!!

This informative video reveals how safety precautions are supposed to be taken to protect the patient. There have been no reports  In the video, Erika Jordan, founder of Hyperbaric Healing Treatment Center, explains how “prior to putting a patient in there,” they “maximize the chamber depth, so it’s as deep as it goes, so in the event of a fire, we have enough time to safely get the patient out of there.”

REVEALED: Air Traffic Controllers Told American Airlines Pilots to Land at Secondary, Intersecting Runway in Final Moments of Doomed Flight

The lights from the helicopter is seen before it collided with incoming flight at Reagan International Airport in Washington DC.

Air traffic controllers told the American Airlines pilots to land at a secondary runway at Reagan Airport shortly before a Blackhawk helicopter collided into the aircraft on Wednesday evening.

Reagan Airport has one main runway. There are two shorter secondary runways that are not commonly used.

According to The New York Times, the pilots were told at the last minute to land at one of Reagan’s secondary runways after they were originally told to land on the main runway.

This last minute change caused the pilots to circle around and land on an intersecting runway.

Footage shows the helicopter crash into the American Airlines plane as it came in at a different angle to land at the shorter runway:

Webcam at the Kennedy Center caught an explosion mid-air across the Potomac. https://t.co/v75sxitpH6 pic.twitter.com/HInYdhBYs5

Additionally, a preliminary FAA report indicated that staffing at the DCA Air Traffic Control tower was “not normal” at the time of the helicopter-plane collision.

According to NBC News, at the time of the collision, one controller was overseeing both helicopter and airplane traffic.

Typically, one controller focuses on helicopter activity.

The New York Times reported:

Shortly before an American Airlines regional jet and an Army helicopter collided near Reagan National Airport on Wednesday night, the plane’s pilots were asked to pivot its landing route from one runway to another, according to a person briefed on the event and conversation overheard on audio recordings of conversations that occurred between an air traffic controller and the pilots.

American Airlines Flight 5342, which was en route to Washington from Wichita, Kan., had originally been cleared by the National Airport traffic control tower to land on the airport’s main runway, called Runway 1, the person briefed on the events and the audio recordings revealed. But in the final moments of the flight, this person and these recordings also showed, the jet pilot was asked by air traffic control to instead make a circle landing on a separate, intersecting runway, Runway 33.

That decision, according to the person who was briefed on the event and two other people who are familiar with the airport’s air traffic, happens routinely when regional jets like the American Airlines aircraft are involved, and may have been made to help keep air traffic moving efficiently by not clogging the main runway. It nonetheless raised questions within the Federal Aviation Administration on Thursday morning about congestion at National Airport, one of the nation’s busiest, the person briefed on the event added.

The secondary runway theory was floated earlier this week.

Per a user on X:

Having visited the White House many times to visit the President…and Kinsey (barf)…heres some early feedback on this airspace from personal experience.

1st: Reagan has only 1 primary runway which parallels the river (north south). It does have two secondary runways which are far shorter and tend to only take regional jets.

2nd: From the look of this it appears the plane was landing on the secondary runway from the South, meaning it was basically flying up the Potomac to the North.

3rd: Just before landing, planes typically turn to align with the secondary runway at a low altitude.

4th: That turn takes place to the south east of the airport, an area that tends to have a lot of helicopter traffic, including military helicopters flying from that area.

5th: The use of the secondary runway isn’t super common, most planes land on the primary north south runway.

6th: The DCA airspace is insanely busy, and flights taking off have to contend with a very strict no fly zone over the Capitol, necessitating the river approach from the north and a quick turn when departing to the north.

7th: Given all these factors, and the fact there was a bad near collision in 2024 because of confusion between the primary and secondary runways, I wouldn’t be surprised if the helicopter and plane overlapped in an area the ATC controller doesn’t focus on nearly as much.

Not definitive or placing blame, but hopefully this helps for those who aren’t familiar with the airspace and the dynamics here.

Woke Celebs Cry On Social Media As President Trump Deports Violent Illegal Aliens | Drew Hernandez

President Trump’s mass deportations have been met with predictable hostility, from woke celebrities posting themselves cringe crying on social media to Joy Reid comparing Trump to Hitler, again. Woke talking heads on CNN have even gone as far as to categorize illegal aliens as berry pickers only on live TV, claiming American women will suffer due to the deportations of those who pick the fruit for their daily smoothies, yet refuse to acknowledge the criminality of illegal immigration. These people are completely disconnected and out of touch.

However, the Trump administration has reaffirmed its commitment to executing mass deportations, with Tom Homan, the designated “border czar,” emphasizing that operations have already begun targeting so-called sanctuary cities and deportation numbers will increase. There is also discussion among Trump’s advisors about using military assets in American cities to reverse the “Biden invasion,” indicating a serious intent to follow through on campaign promises regarding illegal immigration.

Hollywood can cry all they want, the illegals are leaving, if they don’t like it, they can go too.
