Donald Trump: Immigration raids begin Sunday, will target criminals 'as much as we can'-[USA TODAY]-David Jackson and Alan Gomez-July 12, 2019

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump confirmed Friday that border agents will begin raids in selected American cities this weekend to remove people who are in the United States illegally."It starts on Sunday and they're going to take people out and they're going to bring them back to their countries," Trump told reporters at the White House."We are focused on criminals as much as we can before we do anything else," he said.Trump's opponents have urged him to hold off on the raids, calling them an unnecessary overreaction and arguing that they are likely to ensnare innocent people, including migrants who missed court dates they didn't know they had."Every person in America has rights," said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. "These families are hard-working members of our communities and our country. This brutal action will terrorize children and tear families apart."Border hearing: Mike Pence heads to border to defend migrant facilities as Democrats decry 'unconscionable' conditionsThe raids are expected to target ten yet-to-be-disclosed cities.Trump discussed the raid as Vice President Mike Pence visited the southern border to tour a migrant detention facility in Texas. House Democrats, meanwhile, held hearings on what observers have described as poor living conditions at those facilities.Promoting Pence's trip, Trump defended the detention facilities by saying "they are crowded because we have a lot of people. But they're in good shape."Speaking at the White House before a trip to Milwaukee and Cleveland, Trump talked about the raids even as administration officials have complained about leaks regarding their plans."There's nothing to be secret about," Trump said. "ICE is a law enforcement. They are great patriots. They have a tough job ... If the word gets out, it gets out because hundreds of people know about it. It's a major operation. So if the word gets out, it gets out."Matthew Bourke, a spokesman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, has said the agency would not discuss details of the operations, “due to law-enforcement sensitivities and the safety and security of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel."Contributing: Alan Gomez.

Ilhan Omar calls Tucker Carlson 'racist fool' after he says she proves 'immigration has become dangerous'-[USA TODAY]-July 11, 2019

Rep. Ilman Omar tore into Tucker Carlson on Twitter, calling him a "racist fool" after the Fox News host said she was "living proof that the way we practice immigration has become dangerous to this country" on his show Tuesday night. "Not gonna lie, it’s kinda fun watching a racist fool like this weeping about my presence in Congress," Omar said in her tweet.Carlson made the remarks during a segment in which he disputed some Democratic presidential candidates' criticisms of the United States, citing as an example former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke's recent comment that America and its institutions were "founded on white supremacy.""In fact, the United States is the kindest, most open-minded place on the planet," Carlson said. "Some of our deepest satisfaction as a country comes from watching penniless immigrants arrive on our shores, buy into our values, and thrive."The 2020 candidates: Who is running for president? An interactive guideNot gonna lie, it’s kinda fun watching a racist fool like this weeping about my presence in Congress-No lies will stamp out my love for this country or my resolve to make our union more perfect.They will just have to get used to calling me Congresswoman! https://t.co/nRS13yWivK— Ilhan Omar (@IlhanMN) July 10, 2019-Carlson said it was "in that spirit" that the United States granted Omar and her family asylum from Somalia. "Ilhan Omar has an awful lot to be grateful for. But she isn't grateful, not at all. After everything America has done for Omar, and her family, she hates this country more than ever," Carlson said. Carlson claimed that Omar accused Americans of "bigotry and racism" in "virtually every public statement she makes" and said she "has undisguised contempt for the United States and for its people.""That should worry you, and not just because Omar is now a sitting member of Congress," Carlson told his viewers. "Ilhan Omar is living proof that the way we practice immigration has become dangerous to this country. A system designed to strengthen America is instead undermining it." Carlson wondered whether the problem he sees with immigrants was due to a failure to "make them assimilate so they never feel fully American" or if it was the result of "importing people from places whose values are simply antithetical to ours." But he said that if the problem was not addressed, America could suffer the same fate as the Roman Empire. In her tweet responding to Carlson's comments, Omar said, "No lies will stamp out my love for this country or my resolve to make our union more perfect. "They will just have to get used to calling me Congresswoman!" Others condemned Carlson's comments as well."It’s common for Tucker Carlson to make racist & sexist comments on his show, but this is a new low," tweeted Rep. Katie Hill, D-Calif. She also called for Carlson to apologize to Omar and for Fox News to fire him."This kind of hate is inexcusable, and it’s on all of us to call it out and demand better," Hill said.It’s common for Tucker Carlson to make racist & sexist comments on his show, but this is a new low. @IlhanMN deserves an apology — Tucker deserves to be fired. This kind of hate is inexcusable, and it’s on all of us to call it out and demand better. https://t.co/lP2eUJ2u8x— Katie Hill (@KatieHill4CA) July 10, 2019-Carlson "is living proof that xenophobia and bigotry have become dangerous to this country," tweeted conservative commentator Max Boot..@TuckerCarlson is living proof that xenophobia and bigotry have become dangerous to this country. https://t.co/tbmS0bdroL— Max Boot (@MaxBoot) July 10, 2019-The civil rights group Muslim Advocates also called for Fox News to fire Carlson and called on companies to pull to their ads from his show. "This is not a critique of Omar's ideas or politics. This is hate speech directed at her as a Muslim and as an immigrant," the group's public advocacy director Scott Simpson said in a statement. "This is not the first time he has shown such naked bigotry on his show, and it won't be the last as long as Fox gives him a platform." Unlike immigrants, natural-born citizens such as Carlson are neither screened nor forced to pass a citizenship test nor made to swear an oath. And when they stray from the American way, no one thinks to tell them that they’re failing to assimilate," wrote The Atlantic's Conor Friedersdorf. Friedersdorf pointed to a list of Omar's public statements and said they show that Carlson's claim wasn't true because while her comments are "frequently critical of the United States, she tends to attack what she regards as the country’s failure to live up to its lofty values."Conservative Mark Levin, on the other hand, went after CNN for criticizing his fellow Fox News host, saying in a tweet, "Once again, CNN comes to the defense of rabid anti-Semite Ilhan Omar."President Donald Trump retweeted Levin's post to his 61.8 million followers without additional comment..Once again, CNN comes to the defense of rabid anti-Semite Ilhan Omar https://t.co/XNuN4HC4vj— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) July 10, 2019-Carlson responded to the criticism on "Tucker Carlson Tonight" Wednesday, saying the "left went berserk""lhan Omar and her allies in Congress immediately demanded that this show be pulled off the air. They didn’t rebut our points, or even acknowledge them. They just tried to silence us. That’s how they operate. And of course they called us racist."Carlson called the charge of racism was "absurd." He said that his show, "more than any other on television, has taken an aggressive position in favor of colorblind equality, and against racism""Omar has made a career of denouncing anyone and anything in her way as racist," he said, adding that she "may be from another country, but she learned young that crying racism pays."Both Carlson and Omar have generated a lot of controversy in recent months.Omar had to apologize for comments she made criticizing the influence of the pro-Israel lobby, which were widely condemned as anti-Semitic. One of her statements caused the House to pass a resolution condemning hate. 'This is endangering lives': Ilhan Omar claims spike in death threats after Trump tweet-Carlson has taken heat for past comments he made about women and sexual assault during radio interviews with a "shock jock" named Bubba the Love Sponge more than a decade ago. More recently, he defended Trump's apparent affinity for North Korean leader Kim Jong Un by saying leading a country "means killing people" and for calling African-American Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., one of the "whitest candidates" in the presidential race.This article originally appeared on USA TODAY: Ilhan Omar calls Tucker Carlson 'racist fool' for immigration rant

THE FIRST JUDGEMENT OF THE EARTH STARTED WITH WATER-IT ONLY MAKES SENSE THE LAST GENERATION WILL BE HAVING FLOODING
GENESIS 7:6-12
6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
GOD PROMISED BY A RAINBOW-THE EARTH WOULD NEVER BE DESTROYED TOTALLY WITH A FLOOD AGAIN.BUT FLOODIING IS A SIGN OF JUDGEMENT.

Monsoon rains kill 30 people in Nepal, others missing-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-July 13, 2019-By Gopal Sharma

KATHMANDU, July 13 (Reuters) - Flash floods and landslides in Nepal triggered by monsoon rains killed 15 people and injured 12 overnight while another 18 have gone missing, officials said on Saturday.The latest deaths took to 30 the number of people killed in incessant rain that since Thursday has pounded much of the Himalayan nation tucked between China and India.Officials said the Kosi River in eastern Nepal, which flows into the eastern Indian state of Bihar, had risen above the danger mark.The Kosi has been a serious concern for both India and Nepal since it broke its banks in 2008 and changed course, submerging swathes of land and affecting more than two million people in Bihar. About 500 people died in that disaster.Thirty of the 56 sluice gates at a barrage along the Kosi at the Indo-Nepal border have been opened, and rescue teams deployed to evacuate villagers, officials said.The weather office urged residents to remain alert, saying heavy rains were expected to continue through the weekend.“Though rains have eased in some areas, people should remain very careful as there are chances of heavy rains through Sunday,” weather department official Bibhuti Pokharel told Reuters.The annual monsoon rains, which normally start in June and continue through September, are crucial for Nepal, a country of 30 million people, and India, which both depend on the annual downpours for farming. But landslides and floods often result, killing scores of people every year. (Reporting by Gopal Sharma Editing by Martin Howell and Mark Heinrich)

Hurricane Barry hits Gulf Coast with rain and surging water-[Associated Press]-YAHOONEWS-July 13, 2019

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The Latest on Hurricane Barry (all times local) :11:10 a.m.The heaviest rains on land from lopsided Hurricane Barry have hit coastal Alabama and Mississippi the hardest.Dauphin Island Mayor Jeff Collier said Saturday that parts of his barrier island in Alabama are flooded from both the driving rain early Saturday and surging water from the Gulf of Mexico.Collier was driving around in a Humvee to survey the damage. He said the island still has power and wind damage was minimal.The Category 1 hurricane was nearing shore some 200 miles (320 kilometers) from Dauphin Island, but Collier says the island often sees impacts from storms far away.___10:10 a.m.The storm threatening the Louisiana coast has strengthened to a Category 1 hurricane.The U.S. National Hurricane Center said in its 11 a.m. Saturday advisory that Barry had reached maximum sustained winds of 75 mph (120 kph), with higher gusts.Hurricane-force winds were measured some 45 miles (75 km) to the east of the storm's center, which was located 40 miles (65 kilometers) south of Lafayette, Louisiana. It was moving northwest at 6 mph (9 kph).Weather forecasters said a hurricane warning is in effect for Intracoastal City to Grand Isle. Such a warning means that hurricane conditions are expected within the warning area.___9:55 a.m.Authorities say water is flowing over the tops of a few levees in areas south of New Orleans as Tropical Storm Barry nears the coast.Officials said Saturday morning the levees are in lower Plaquemines Parish and are not the main levees protecting the Mississippi River.Plaquemines Parish emergency workers told news outlets they are getting crews to check the levees and make any repairs needed.The levees are near Myrtle Grove and Pointe Celeste, and the water is threatening Highway 23, one of the main roads through the parish.Louisiana Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser told WVUE-TV anyone who remains south of Myrtle Grove should evacuate from the finger of low-lying, flood prone land that follows the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico.Much of Plaquemines Parish had been under an evacuation order since Thursday.___8:05 a.m.National Hurricane Center director Ken Graham said Tropical Storm Barry is gathering "a big slough of moisture" just off the central Louisiana coast and is taking its time to come ashore Saturday morning, meaning "a lot of rain is on the way."Graham delivered a storm update using Facebook Live from the hurricane center, where he pointed to a computer screen showing a big swirling mess of airborne water. "That is just an amazing amount of moisture," he said. "That is off the chart."He said the storm is moving so slowly that heavy rain will likely continue throughout the weekend across Louisiana. He said the highest tornado threat is on the east side of the storm, along the Mississippi coast, and Mobile Bay. And the Mississippi River isn't the only waterway to worry about: He says other rivers and creeks will be overflowing across several states.Graham reminded viewers that "83 percent of fatalities from these systems have been from inland rain. So let's stay off the roads. Let's prevent these preventable fatalities."___7:30 a.m.The Coast Guard says it is in the process of rescuing more than a dozen people stranded on a remote Louisiana island by flooding from Tropical Storm Barry.Petty Officer Lexie Preston said some of the people were on rooftops Saturday on the Isle de Jean Charles, about 45 miles (72 kilometers) south of New Orleans.Preston told The Associated Press the rescue is ongoing and four people and a cat have been taken from the island on a helicopter. She said a boat is also heading to the area to help get the rest of the people off the island.Preston says she does not know the condition of the people rescued.Terrebonne Parrish placed the island under a voluntary evacuation and the only two-lane road to it was cut off by floodwaters.The island is the home of the Isle de Jean Charles Band of Biloxi-Chitimacha-Choctaw Tribe and is part of the southern Louisiana bayous threatened by rising sea levels.___7 a.m.Tropical Storm Barry is strengthening as it approaches the Louisiana coast.The U.S. National Hurricane Center said in its 8 a.m. Saturday advisory that the storm's maximum sustained winds have increased 5 mph over the past several hours to 70 mph (115 kph), with higher gusts.Barry is expected to reach hurricane strength by the time its center reaches the Louisiana coast, expected before noon local time.

People were using cellphones to see in the dark and opening doors and windows to let the warm, sticky tropical air circulate.Barry's center is expected to slowly move onshore near Morgan City later Saturday.East of Morgan City in New Orleans, only scattered showers and a light breeze stirred up the famous French Quarter. But forecasters warned that heavy rains and possible flooding were coming within hours.In the New Orleans suburbs, the storm's approach filled Lake Pontchartrain 3 feet (1 meter) above typical levels. Winds pushed water onto streets on the north side of the lake near Mandeville.___4:45 a.m.Tropical Storm Barry cut short a predominantly black sorority's convention, but meals left over from the conference will help feed tens of thousands of people in Louisiana.Second Harvest Food Bank spokesman Jay Vise says a caterer had more than 17,000 uneaten meals after the storm caused Delta Sigma Theta Sorority to end its New Orleans convention a day early.Vice says Second Harvest was able to get a truck and take the meals back to its headquarters Friday.Vice told The Times-Picayune/The New Orleans Advocate the meals will be put in a freezer until the storm passes Monday, and then delivered throughout southern Louisiana.___4:10 a.m.Nearly 50,000 people are without power as Tropical Storm Barry nears landfall on Louisiana's south-central coast.According to Entergy Louisiana's outages map, more than 45,800 people had been affected by power outages as of 4:11 a.m. Saturday.

The edges of the storm have already started lashing Louisiana with rain and left some coastal roads underwater.The storm was 165 miles (260 kilometers) west of the mouth of the Mississippi River, with maximum sustained winds of 65 mph (105 kph) and higher gusts.___3:05 a.m.A federal judge has issued a temporary restraining order barring Iberville Parish from deploying AquaDams that East Baton Rouge Parish says could increase flooding within its own borders.Late Friday and hours before Tropical Storm Barry was expected to make landfall on the southern Louisiana coast, a judge ruled that the water-filled flood control barriers could cause substantial property damage and loss of life in the neighboring parish.Iberville Parish President Mitch Ourso had planned to erect the AquaDams along Bayou Manchac, to prevent flooding in the Spanish Lake area. East Baton Rouge Parish Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome told The Advocate she didn't want to sue but had heard from worried constituents.Ourso told WBRZ-TV he would abide by the ruling.The judge set a hearing for Monday afternoon.___2:15 a.m.More than 30,000 people have lost power in Louisiana as Tropical Storm Barry moves closer to landfall on the south-central coast.According to Entergy Louisiana's outages map, more than 29,000 customers had been affected by power outages as of 2:11 a.m., local time, Saturday.
