James Mattis Shut Down This MSNBC Host's Awful Lie

When Donald Trump tapped James "Mad Dog" Mattis to be his Secretary of Defense, conservatives

cheered.

The decision sent a signal that, unlike the Obama administration, Trump was committed

to defending America.

And when MSNBC's Rachel Maddow made the mistake of crossing Mattis, the Secretary

of Defense sent her running for the hills.

Washington has been consumed by the media's fake outrage over Donald Trump enforcing immigration

law.

Trump signed a new executive order to challenge a 1997 consent decree – the Flores decree

– that forced children to be separated from their parents if the adults were prosecuted

for illegal border crossings.

Since children can only be held for 20 days, Trump's new order calls for families to

be held together while they await criminal proceedings to be completed.

To expedite matters and get as many cases processed in the 20 day period while the administration

challenges the Flores decree, the Trump administration is beefing up the legal resources to handle

the caseload during the short time frame.

After 20 days, the children must be released, so the Obama policy of "catch and release"

could return if the Trump administration doesn't increase the number of immigration lawyers

to process the cases.

So Secretary of Defense Mattis stepped up to the plate and sent Judge Advocate Generals

(JAGS) to six cities in Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico for a six month assignment to assist

with prosecuting illegal border crossings.

MSNBC's Rachel Maddow pitched a fit about this decision.

But the Defense Department shut her down by releasing a statement that read:

"THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE HAS APPROVED A DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE (DOJ) REQUEST TO DETAIL

21 ATTORNEYS WITH CRIMINAL TRIAL EXPERIENCE TO DOJ FOR A PERIOD OF 179 DAYS.

THE DOD ATTORNEYS WILL BE APPOINTED AS SPECIAL ASSISTANT UNITED STATES ATTORNEYS AND WILL

WORK FULL TIME, ASSISTING IN PROSECUTING REACTIVE BORDER IMMIGRATION CASES, WITH A FOCUS ON

MISDEMEANOR IMPROPER ENTRY AND FELONY ILLEGAL REENTRY CASES."

SO THEY HYPED UP FAKE NEWS BY CLAIMING THIS WAS "UNPRECEDENTED" AND ONE STEP SHORT

OF TRUMP DECLARING MARTIAL LAW.

LAW PROFESSOR ORRIN KERR – WHO ALSO WORKED IN THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY'S OFFICE FOR

THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA – POINTED OUT THIS WAS ACTUALLY A COMMON PRACTICE.

Kerr tweeted:

"I DON'T GET WHY THIS @MADDOW STORY IS BIG NEWS.

JAG OFFICERS ARE DETAILED TO US ATTY'S OFFICES AS SPECIAL AUSAS ALL THE TIME.

SEVERAL JAGS WERE SAUSAS WHEN I WAS IN EDVA.

AND I DON'T THINK IT'S NEW TO BRING LOTS OF SAUSAS TO A DISTRICT TO PROSECUTE IMMIGRATION

CRIMES, EITHER."

WHAT LIBERALS LIKE MADDOW OBJECT TO IS ENFORCING IMMIGRATION LAW, PERIOD.

THE LEFT DOESN'T CARE ABOUT KIDS BEING SEPARATED FROM THEIR PARENTS.

THEY JUST WANT ILLEGAL

ALIENS TURNED LOOSE INTO THE UNITED STATES SO CONGRESS IS FORCED TO ACT AND GRANT AMNESTY.

THAT WILL ALLOW ILLEGAL ALIENS TO BECOME CITIZENS WITH VOTING RIGHTS – AND THE LEFT KNOWS

THESE NEWLY MINTED CITIZENS WILL SWELL THE VOTER ROLLS WITH MILLIONS OF NEW LOYAL DEMOCRATS.

SECRETARY OF DEFENSE MATTIS ISN'T VIOLATING ANY LAWS OR BREAKING CONSTITUTIONAL NORMS.

AND THE IMMIGRATION DEBATE HAS SHOWN, ONCE AGAIN, THAT THE LEFT DOESN'T CARE ABOUT

FACTS.

LIBERALS ARE FIGHTING FOR OPEN BORDERS AND THEY INTEND TO WIN BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY.

EU Calls on Member States to Cough up For 'Africa Trust Fund' - Duration: 1:25.

BRUSSELS (AP) – European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini is urging EU member countries to put more money into an Africa trust fund as the bloc looks to set up migrant screening centers outside Europe

 Mogherini said Monday that the fund "has proven to be useful, it has brought results and this is why we are asking for more money from member states

"  EU leaders are set later this week to greenlight plans to screen migrants for eligibility as asylum-seekers at centers in countries including Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Niger and Tunisia

 The plans mirror a deal that the EU clinched with Turkey in 2015 aimed at encouraging Ankara to stop refugees setting out for the Greek islands

That deal has cost more than 3 billion euros ($3.5 billion).

States Aim To Halt Sexual Abuse Of People With Intellectual Disabilities - Duration: 8:28.

States Aim To Halt Sexual Abuse Of People With Intellectual Disabilities

Earlier this year, that people with intellectual disabilities are victims of some of the highest rates of sexual assault.

NPR found previously undisclosed government numbers showing that they're assaulted at seven times the rate of people without disabilities.

Now states, communities and advocates, citing NPR's reporting, are making reforms aimed at improving those statistics.

In Pennsylvania, legislation passed the state House of Representatives earlier this month that would make it easier for people with intellectual disabilities to testify in court.

The proposed law, introduced by Republican Rep.

Garth Everett, would set out circumstances in which a judge could allow a person's testimony to be taken outside of a courtroom.

In Massachusetts, a proposed law would create a registry of abusive caregivers, even if the case isn't prosecuted.

Currently, when an allegation of abuse emerges, a state agency investigates to see if the claim can be substantiated, but the names of alleged perpetrators are only made public if a prosecutor decides to take the case to trial.

Advocates cited the NPR series in pushing for the law.

And in California, legislation was proposed — but ultimately stalled — that would have started a pilot program to give prosecutors extra money to devote more staff and more time to prosecute these cases.

These reforms are all aimed at making it easier for police and prosecutors to investigate cases and take them to trial.

It can be difficult to do that, in part because people with intellectual disabilities may have difficulty speaking, remembering details or recalling a time sequence.

One result: perpetrators often go unpunished, and are free to assault again.

In the U.S.

Congress, legislation was introduced that would guarantee the continuation of existing federal funding to address the sexual assault of women with intellectual disabilities.

The money is currently authorized in the Violence Against Women Act, which is set to expire at the end of this year.

When Republican Rep.

Ken Calvert of California introduced the CARE Act in April, he noted the NPR reporting and statistics: "It is absolutely shocking and disturbing that these individuals are targeted so often and I wholeheartedly believe we must do more to protect them.".

Other proposals involve training people with intellectual disabilities themselves.

Often, they didn't get sex education in schools, so they may have difficulty identifying abuse.

People with intellectual disabilities "live an isolated life and it makes you more likely to be victimized," says Jessica Oppenheim of the Arc of New Jersey, an advocacy group.

"Let's face it," she says, "Offenders are going to look for an easier target.

And someone who doesn't feel they have the right to say anything, someone who may not understand what their rights are, someone who's not comfortable — or maybe is even afraid to say anything — makes for an easier target.".

Now states, including Pennsylvania, Minnesota and Florida, are spending more money for trainings about healthy relationships and how to spot abuse.

And groups that represent people with intellectual disabilities and people who teach classes about sexuality for people with disabilities are reporting new interest in trainings.

Earlier this month, the Arc of New Jersey called a state summit to consider reforms.

About 50 people — state officials, prosecutors, parents, advocates and people who work in the disability field — gathered at the meeting in New Brunswick.

James Meadours, a man with an intellectual disability, came from Texas to deliver the keynote address.

Meadours is a rape survivor who was featured in NPR's Abused and Betrayed series.

Meadours first started speaking to disability groups about a decade ago.

Since NPR's series, Meadours has traveled around the country doing even more advocacy.

He appears in a new public service announcement from 1in6, a national nonprofit that offers support to male survivors of sexual assault.

"If you be quiet," he said, "You cannot change things.

But if you have a voice, you can change the world.".

After Meadours spoke, the people in the room brainstormed ideas.

Someone from each table stood up to report their recommendations.

Thomas Baffuto, the executive director of the Arc of New Jersey, said there was a "need for a hotline for folks with intellectual disabilities to not only report abuse and neglect but also get help and get connected to supports and services." And he suggested legislation that would require that students with disabilities get sex education in school.

Often they are pulled from those classes to get other services, or because it's assumed they can't understand the discussion.

"We think schools have to require more sex education, not less," Baffuto added.

Oppenheim, an attorney who runs the New Jersey Arc's criminal justice advocacy program, said the public needs to better understand that people with intellectual disabilities live and work in their neighborhoods and to respect their desire to be part of those communities.

One suggestion: "Essentially a public service campaign that we would call '#UsToo.
