[Breitbart] Texas Federal Judge Andrew Hanen issued a temporary injunction halting the Executive Amnesty program announced last year by President Barack Obama. Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton responded to the late night decision by the judge.
The ruling came in response to a lawsuit filed on December 3rd, 2014, by then Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott (now Governor Abbott) on behalf of the State of Texas. At the time of the filing, Texas was joined by sixteen other states. That number has increased to twenty-six states, more than half of the country.
It's that damn constitution thingy again and some damn judge who can actually read it. Just remember the Progressives (limousine 1984 communists) have no use for either.

Comment on this event found somewhere on the internet "Federal Judge Who Issued Injunction Is Noted Obama Immigration Hater" No further thinking needed.

A quote from one of Texas finest Jurist; “Gentlemen, I find the law very explicit on murdering your fellow man, but there's nothing here about killing a Chinaman. Case dismissed.”

9 more states and we could have a Constitutional Convention.
[NEWS.NATIONALGEOGRAPHIC] An international network of amateur astronomers has spotted what looks like two plumes, or slender, cloudy projections, extending from the surface of Mars, and their professional counterparts have no clear idea of what they might be.
"Any explanation we can think of challenges our understanding of the upper atmosphere of Mars," says AgustĂn SĂĄnchez-Lavega, a professional astronomer at the University of the Basque Country, in Bilbao, Spain, and lead author of a report on the phenomenon in the journal Nature.
"The fact that it was seen by multiple observers suggests pretty strongly that it's real," says Bruce Jakosky, of the University of Colorado, Boulder, principal investigator for the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution Mission (MAVEN), which is currently orbiting the red planet. "But I find the observation puzzling." Jakosky was not involved in the research. It's just dust raised from where they're filling in the old canals.

"No one would have believed in the first years of the twenty-first century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own."

"Yet across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us. And early in the twentieth century came the great disillusionment."
[Dhaka Tribune] Bangla Academy authorities yesterday shut down the stalls of two publication houses at the Amar Ekushey Boi Mela, with allegations of "selling books that hurt religious sentiments" and selling pirated books.
Dr Jalal Ahmed, the fair committee member secretary, said the fair authorities shut down Rodela Prokashani's stall for selling and displaying "Nabi Muhammder 23 Bachhar" on grounds of "hurting religious sentiments" and "defamatory comments on Islam and its prophet Hazrat Muhammad."
They also shut down the stall of Boi Poka for selling pirated books, he added.
23-Years.jpgThe book, which had been published by Rodela Prokashani, is a translation of Iranian writer Ali Dashti's "23 years: a study of prophetic career of Muhammad" which was originally published in 1985. The work of translation was done by duo Abul Kashem and Saikat Chowdhury.
Dr Jalal Ahmed said: "According to article 13.13 of Fair Regulations 2015, none is allowed to sell books at the fair that can hurt religious sentiments.
"The publication house breached the guidelines of the fair and it was banned accordingly."
On Monday, the stall of Rodela Prokashani was shut down with a "closed" notice.
The website of the publication house was also hacked yesterday evening, reportedly by a group named Cyber 71 that left warning messages on the website "in protest of defamatory comment on Islam and its prophet".

[Dawn] Greece rejected a proposal by its euro zone partners on Monday that it should accept a six-month extension of its international bailout programme while sticking to the terms of its agreement with lenders, casting talks on its debt into disarray.
EU officials said the talks were over unless Athens changed its mind after a leftist-led government won power last month and vowed to scrap the 240 billion euro bailout, reverse austerity policies and end cooperation with EU/IMF inspectors.
A Greek official said Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis had rebuffed a draft statement put to him at a euro zone finance ministers' meeting in Brussels that spoke of Greece extending the current programme.

The Universal Tranzi Empire beginning to crumble?

Tribalism trumps internationalism in the end. Particularly since on the Tranzis want internationalism and usually because nationalism didn't give them enough power and control to impose their will.

Wonder how much money Putin can afford to buy them out? Certainly Putin is more likely to arrange the return of Byzantium to Greek control (and clear access through the Bosporus for Russian naval ships) than the Eruopean powers are.

We have a spate of lefty mainstream churches that will obediently push this cr*p. They also 'get political' from the pulpit (in the 'right way', of course) and will never be admonished by the feds for doing so.
However, let one pastor say something about the need for a father's involvement in a family, you'll get fireworks.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
