A win for common sense and national security. Watch, therefore, for the howls of rage from the Left and hysteria from the establishment media.
“Supreme Court: Trump admin can keep travel ban on most refugees,” by Ariane de Vogue, CNN, September 12, 2017:
Washington (CNN)The Supreme Court granted Tuesday a Trump administration request to continue to bar most refugees under its travel ban.
Without comment, the court blocked a federal appeals court ruling from last week that would have exempted refugees who have a contractual commitment from resettlement organizations from the travel ban while the justices consider its legality. The ruling could impact roughly 24,000 people.
The travel ban bars certain people from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen from entering the US….
Stan Lee says
The Leftists and their own 9th Circuit Court which has favored decisions in behalf of Leftists is most likely contemplating its next maneuver to appeal to Leftists and defy the Trump Administration.
They will find something, anything, to realize their mission against conservatism. For this conservative, the decision by the Supreme Court is encouraging, and President Trump’s foresight in battling the establishment successfully, leading to the installation of Judge Gorsuch is an advancement giving the “good guys” a well-deserved decision. After all, the decision is on behalf of all loyal Americans, whatever their political persuasions.

How could the Supreme Court not have upheld what President Trump did unless it was ready to engage in “fake law,” which is even more of a threat to freedom than “fake news”? And yet more than one lower court federal judge did exactly this, i.e., engage in “fake law.”
The American Constitution, all the West and freedom, yes all three of these, are on the cusp right now. This was a victory today to be sure, but the fact that this particular Executive Order of Trump’s, perfectly constitutional as even an old liberal like Alan Dershowitz pointed out from the get-go, had to go all the way to the Supreme Court to be validated is itself indicative of the peril that not just America but all of the West is in right now.
And the chief culprits for this peril? Islam and the modern Western Left of course. Two greater enemies of freedom, made more powerful because of their alliance, would be difficult to find in all of the pages of history.
Freedom is fragile. Very. Both Islam and the modern Western Left, each a die-hard enemy of freedom, mean to destroy this particular fragility. Indeed, seen from the perspective of these two deficiencies, doing so is an imperative of the first order because as long as real freedom exists Islam and the modern Western Left can’t get their way. And I, for one, have only contempt for “their way.”
Wyldeirishman says
Very well spoken.
Westman says
Well written, Wellington.
Consider the following:
“We were not born critical of existing society. There was a moment in our lives (or a month, or a year) when certain facts appeared before us, startled us, and then caused us to question beliefs that were strongly fixed in our consciousness – embedded there by years of family prejudices, orthodox schooling, imbibing of newspapers, radio, and television. This would seem to lead to a simple conclusion: that we all have an enormous responsibility to bring to the attention of others information they do not have, which has the potential of causing them to rethink long-held ideas.”
Isn’t it amazing how things can reverse in 12 years? This description now fits todays leftist society yet it was penned in 2005 by one of the most noted socialists of America – Howard Zinn.
Now we are trying to “bring to the attention of others(liberals) information they do not have” about the dangers from Islam after their years of indoctrination by the MSM and the Church Of The Socialist University.
And here we are; even the POTUS having to fight for the Constitution’s guaranteed legal rights as if we were yesterday’s minority caught in a bannana republic.

Great comments guys
Darmanad says
RS often and correctly remarks that our media and most of the populace erroneously conflate criticism of Islamic ideology with racially or religiously motivated bigotry against all Muslims. Perhaps now that a (Republican), anti-Muslim immigrationist, hardcore captialist, political conservative, right side of the political spectrum,anti-abortionist, pathological liar, idiot has been elected President of the USA , Mr Spencer can stop conflating “leftist” with dhimmi. So-called leftists, liberals, and progressives are not ipso facto dhimmis any more than critics of Islamic ideology are bigots. Where one stands on the political spectrum does not define dhimmitude.
Moreover, by continuing to so conflate leftist and dhimmi and to rail against leftists as water carriers and errand boys for jihadists only serves to alienate many who would otherwise pay closer attention to RS’s principle analyses. Let me quickly add that the principle message of RS’s work is not to place one religion on a pedestal above others. Religious beliefs are irrelevant. Jihad Watch is about the derogation of human and civil rights inherent in Islam as it it is practiced today. It is not about your god vs my god.To the extent comments here invoke religious arguments in the core Jihad Watch message, it gets blurred if not downright polluted.

Fitting decision in light of the fact that today, September 12, is the anniversary of the Battle of Vienna in which Mustafa’s Islamic 120,000 Jihadists were defeated by the Polish army and German and Lithuanian Knights. The battle raged for weeks leading up to the defeat on the 12th. See the movie “Day of the Siege” (released in 2012) which tells the story of the battle.

The recent change in language from the President and his administration, omitting the Islamic qualifier in relation to ‘Islamic Terrorism’, may have been linked to these Supreme Court deliberations concerning the travel ban directives. If so, then it may have been worthwhile, as this national security initiative is a top priority with long term benefits to the nation.
eduardo odraude says
Excellent catch, to notice that. Precisely because Trump has been having such trouble getting the travel ban through for months and months, he and his admin will have no doubt been conscious of a need to tone down any reference to Islam at least till the Supreme Court ruled. This shows that for politicians to yell about about Islam from the rooftops can sometimes be counterproductive. I don’t support the obscene self-censorship about Islam that is going on — I am just saying that even politicians determined to resist Islam may sometimes be help the resistance more by discretion than by openly stating the position. For a journalist or author, who does not have to worry about getting elected, and who does not have to convince all kinds of groups to back his programs and policies, the situation is very different. A journalist can, and should, just say what he thinks.
Carolyne says
I am content to assume that the intelligence and advice the President receives is far more comprehensive than any of us here know and his actions reflect that. I feel he understands the threats facing the US and is acting in accordance with that knowledge insofar as he is allowed by those denigrating him and opposing him. His choice of words are, IMO, words calculated to help him achieve his goals which are, I believe, the saving of the US From those who would destroy us. Rome was not built In a day and it will take years to correct the damage done by Obama.

Ah, maybe the decision was concluded after a study although not a complete solution, it is at least some recognition.

The main problem we have (other than Trump) is with the rest of our politicians, who naively see Islam in general as a ‘religion’ (it’s not, it’s a cult) of ‘peace’, and that it’s simply being tarnished by a few’ radicals’ who other ‘moderate’ Muslims denounce by saying ‘not in my name’ or with other similar such sayings!
The fact is, the common denominator of ‘Islam’ runs through the veins of ALL Muslims. Both ‘radicals’ and so called ‘moderates’. BUT at the end of the day, they ALL follow the preachings of Muhamed from the Quran and the Hadith etc. and we all know what evil instructions they contain. Instructions that threaten the lives of ALL non Muslims. These evil instructions have relentlessly been carried out for the last 1,400 years and it’ll never be any different. This is the fundamental purpose of Islam. World domination by deception, coersion and violence. It’s non negotiable, although our stupid leaders like Merkel are too pig ignorant to accept it for what it is!
While the ‘moderates’ remain as such for the time being, what will they then become when they are in a majority? Well, as the 4 stages of Jihad clearly explain,
https://civilusdefendus.wordpress.com/civil-defense/4-stages-of-islamic-conquest/
whilst Muslims are in a minority, they are instructed to remain passive, friendly and accommodating towards the infidels (us). BUT when they are in the majority (and at the rate they breed i.e. locusts) that time will not be long off!.
Already, there are dozens and dozens of ‘no go’ areas all over Europe where they have literally taken over already. Needless to say, the lefties are also there in their deluded thousands, protecting, aiding and abetting their takeover! Trump alos needs to target this traitorous horde of worthless trash too if the ‘enemy within’ is to be defeated, while our pathetic liberal leaders need to educated with the reality of Islam, or for the electorate to be widely educated of the threat, so that they can vote out the ‘Clintons’, ”Obamas’ and ‘Merkels’ of the West who have allowed this invasion to happen under the false guise of ‘poor refugees’!
I good knowledgeable leader would have said from day one, “we will offer refuge ONLY to women and children (under 12) on a TEMPORARY basis until the unrest ends. ALL men shall remain and fight for their country. NO exceptions!!! But no, the fools leading us allowed hordes of young single males in, all fizzing with testosterone and hatred towards us, and our women who they openly say they want to rape and use like pieces of meat for their own perverted evil pleasure. What on Earth could have gone wrong, eh?
Yes, there should be a ban on ALL Muslims entering the West, and those already in removed immediately before our societies are overwhelmed and crushed by their evil!
JawsV says
Islam is a totalitarian political ideology. Islam’s goal is Jihad, the expansion of Islam, control of the Infidels’ governments and enforcing Sharia. See “Wholly Different” by Nonie Darwish (2017).

All those who want to expose ISLAM as a fascist ideology need to first look inwards and ask themselves how peaceful and loving a country they live in. All you White Nationalist, Neo Nazis who live in America, do you know that your country has existed for 241 years. Out of those 241 years, they have been in a war for 224 years and counting. Now if your country was founded on Christian principle of Brotherly love yada yada, then explain the 224 years of wars. Explain to the world how your GUN culture violence is responsible for more deaths in your country then the world combined. How your largest industry is the weapons industry readily selling arms and ammunition to Saudi Arabia the Chief sponsor of Terrorism. If ISLAM is so bad as you say it, then explain why your White President went to the heart of Islam and sold them $110 BILLION dollars worth of weapons, WHY DID HE DO THAT, when he has said ISLAM HATES US?? You FOOLS like to blame someone else for your problems, first fix yourselves then worry about the rest of the World!!!!

Rant to the suckers on the Supreme Court allowing cousins of temporarily banned countries to immigrate. Here are percentages of consanguineous marriages (between cousins) in countries being banned: Iran: 20-29%, Libya: 30-39%, Somalia-unknown, Sudan-50%+, Syria: 30-39% and Yemen: 40-49%. It’s a good bet that each immigrant’s entire tribe are cousins. Welcome y’all!
