Donald Trump's immigration policies aimed to increase enforcement and restrict immigration, including pushing for laws with mandatory minimum sentences for undocumented immigrants, rolling back birthright citizenship, banning immigration from several Muslim-majority countries, and building a wall along the US-Mexico border. These policies generated controversy and opposition from sanctuary cities like Los Angeles and Malibu that did not want local police enforcing federal immigration laws due to concerns it could damage trust with immigrant communities and hinder police work. The document discusses the specific immigration and border security proposals put forth under Trump and the resistance from some communities.
This document discusses issues around fake news, post-truth politics, and the changing media landscape. It explores how social media and online platforms have disrupted traditional journalism and allowed false or misleading information to spread more easily. Specifically, it examines how algorithms prioritize engaging content over facts, creating "filter bubbles" that influence users. This undermines the media's role in facilitating an informed public sphere.

Rand Paul gave a speech at UC Berkeley criticizing the CIA for potentially spying on Congress. He said the CIA director's denials of wrongdoing are not reassuring. Meanwhile, legislation in Kentucky would allow Paul to run for reelection to the Senate and for president simultaneously in 2016. Paul also said President Obama should be more concerned about abuses of domestic spying given the history of spying on civil rights leaders.

This document summarizes a CNN news segment that covered two topics: 1) The 2015 Iran nuclear deal and recent controversy over it, with Israel providing evidence that Iran lied about suspending its nuclear program. The US must decide by May 12th whether to continue lifting sanctions on Iran. 2) The issue of immigration in the US and a caravan of 100 Central American migrants seeking asylum at the US-Mexico border, which faces opposition from some. The document provides background on both of these complex and long-debated issues.
John Peter Zenger was a German immigrant and printer of The New York Weekly Journal who published articles accusing the colonial governor of New York, William Cosby, of corruption. When Zenger was charged with libel, Andrew Hamilton argued that truth should be a defense against libel charges. Despite the judge's instructions, the jury returned a not guilty verdict, establishing an important precedent for freedom of the press. This case demonstrated that the press could publish criticisms of public officials without punishment if what was published could be proved true. It helped lay the groundwork for freedom of the press protections in the U.S. Constitution.

- President Trump condemned the violence "on many sides" but failed to single out the white supremacists. His statement was criticized for not being strong enough against intolerance and hatred.
- The article analyzes Trump's statement and argues he should have clearly condemned the white supremacists and brought the country together instead of listing his own accomplishments.

Georgia has implemented a mandatory contact tracing program to help stop the spread of COVID-19. Under the governor's emergency order, the public health commissioner can issue directives and the contact tracing program is not voluntary. Public health officials identify people who have been in close contact with COVID-19 patients and require them to self-quarantine for 14 days. They must participate in daily symptom monitoring calls or texts or face potential legal penalties. The state has hired over 1,000 contact tracers and may get carriers to prevent people from ignoring calls as part of its effort to control the pandemic through aggressive contact tracing.

The North is now ruled by the Kim family dictatorship and faces economic struggles. The Kim regime maintains control through propaganda, isolation, and oppression of dissent. Life for North Koreans is difficult due to poverty and human rights abuses. The North Korean military remains a threat with a large conventional force but mostly outdated equipment. Christianity is among the most severely persecuted religions in North Korea.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

• “YOU HAD MILLIONS OF PEOPLE THAT NOW AREN'T INSURED
ANYMORE.” (BECAUSE OF OBAMACARE)

• CBS NEWS REPORTED THAT MORE THAN TWO MILLION AMERICANS
WERE TOLD THEY COULD NOT RENEW THEIR INSURANCE POLICIES
FOR 2014

NOTHING ABOUT THEM. THEY CAN SAY THEY VET THEM. THEY
DIDN'T VET THEM. THEY HAVE NO PAPERS. HOW CAN YOU VET
SOMEBODY WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THEM AND
YOU HAVE NO PAPERS? HOW DO YOU VET THEM? YOU CAN'T.”
FACT
• THIS IS OBVIOUSLY TRUE. NYT'S ONLY REASON GIVEN FOR WHY
THEY DECLARED IT FALSE? "VETTING LASTS UP TO TWO YEARS."
SO FOR TWO YEARS WE HAVE UNVETTED PEOPLE IN OUR COUNTRY.
10. TRUMP STATEMENT JANUARY 26, 2017
• “I CUT OFF HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OFF ONE
PARTICULAR PLANE, HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN A
SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. IT WASN'T LIKE I SPENT, LIKE, WEEKS,
HOURS, LESS THAN HOURS, AND MANY, MANY HUNDREDS OF
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. AND THE PLANE'S GOING TO BE BETTER.”
FACT
• THIS IS ALSO TRUE. NYT'S ONLY REASON GIVEN FOR WHY THEY
DECLARED IT FALSE? "MOST OF THE CUTS WERE ALREADY
PLANNED."
11. TRUMP STATEMENT FEB 3, 2017, ON RIOTS AFTER ELECTION
• “PROFESSIONAL ANARCHISTS, THUGS AND PAID PROTESTERS ARE
PROVING THE POINT OF THE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WHO VOTED TO MAKE
AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

NO EVIDENCE OF PAID PROTESTORS"

NOV. 12 2016 “TRUMP IS NOT MY PRESIDENT” RALLY IN NEW YORK.

12. TRUMP STATEMENT FEBRUARY 7, 2017
• “AND YET THE MURDER RATE IN OUR COUNTRY IS THE HIGHEST
IT’S BEEN IN 47 YEARS, RIGHT? DID YOU KNOW THAT? FORTY-
SEVEN YEARS.”
FACT
• SNOPES - "IT’S LIKELY THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP ERRED BY
CONFLATING THE MURDER RATE ITSELF WITH THE SIZE OF THE
YEAR-OVER-YEAR INCREASE IN THE MURDER RATE." IN OTHER
SPEECHES GIVEN ON THE SAME TOPIC AT THE SAME TIME TRUMP
SAID THAT THE MURDER RATE HAS HAD LARGEST INCREASE IN 45
YEARS, WHICH THEY HAVE TO ADMIT IS ACCURATE.

THE NUMBER IS EXACTLY ACCURATE
15. TRUMP STATEMENT - AUGUST 3, 2017
• “OR LET THEM LOOK AT THE URANIUM SHE SOLD THAT IS NOW IN
THE HANDS OF VERY ANGRY RUSSIANS.”
FACT
• NYT REASON FOR CALLING IT A LIE - "THERE'S NO EVIDENCE

"PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS MADE 3,251 FALSE OR
MISLEADING CLAIMS IN 497 DAYS."
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE 'LIES' THEY FOUND?
17. TRUMP STATEMENT
• “COLLUSION IS NOT A CRIME, BUT THAT DOESN’T MATTER
BECAUSE THERE WAS NO COLLUSION (EXCEPT BY CROOKED
HILLARY AND THE DEMOCRATS)!”
• COLLUSION IS A CRIME UNDER ANTITRUST LAWS. BUT COLLUSION
IN THAT CONTEXT REFERS TO COMPANIES SECRETLY WORKING
TOGETHER IN PRICE-FIXING OR BID-RIGGING SCHEMES THAT
ILLEGALLY MANIPULATE THE FREE MARKET. SINCE THE
ACCUSATION IS ELECTION RIGGING, NOT PRICE FIXING AT ISSUE
HERE, THAT LEGAL DEFINITION DOESN'T APPLY.
18. TRUMP STATEMENT
• SAID THE INDIVIDUAL MANDATE WAS UNCONSTITUTIONAL EVEN
THOUGH THE SUPREME COURT, IN AN OPINION WRITTEN BY CHIEF
JUSTICE JOHN G. ROBERTS JR., SAID IT PASSED CONSTITUTIONAL
MUSTER.
• I THINK MOST PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS
UNCONSTITUTIONAL. THE SUPREME COURT HAS MADE A NUMBER
OF BAD DECISIONS, MANY LATER REVERSED.
19. TRUMP STATEMENT
• “ONE OF THE REASONS WE NEED GREAT BORDER SECURITY IS THAT
MEXICO’S MURDER RATE IN 2017 INCREASED BY 27% TO 31,174
PEOPLE KILLED, A RECORD! THE DEMOCRATS WANT OPEN BORDERS. I
WANT MAXIMUM BORDER SECURITY AND RESPECT FOR ICE AND OUR
GREAT LAW ENFORCEMENT PROFESSIONALS!”
ONLY REASON POST GIVES AS TO WHY IT IS A 'LIE'
• UNDOCUMENTED MIGRATION FROM MEXICO HAS BEEN NEGATIVE FOR
10 YEARS. SERIOUSLY - THAT IS THE ONLY 'PROOF' THAT THEY GIVE.
• "[MEXICO] HAD 31,174 HOMICIDES IN 2017, THE INEGI REPORTS. THIS
IS AN INCREASE OF 27% COMPARED WITH 2016, WHICH SAW 24,559
HOMICIDES." - CNN
20. TRUMP STATEMENT, JULY 2018
• “LAST QUARTER, AS YOU KNOW, OUR GDP GREW 4.1 PERCENT AND
I THINK IT’S GOING TO GO A LOT HIGHER THAN THAT. ... $52
BILLION TRADE DEFICIT REDUCTION.”

QUARTERLY REPORT."
• ("FINAL READING ON Q2 GDP CONFIRMS 4.2% GAIN, THE FASTEST
RISE IN NEARLY FOUR YEARS" - CNBC, SEPTEMBER 27, 2018. YET
THIS 'LIE' IS STILL LISTED.)
21. TRUMP STATEMENT
• “SINCE THE ELECTION WE HAVE ADDED 3.7 MILLION NEW JOBS”
REASON POST GIVES AS TO WHY IT IS A 'LIE'
• TRUMP CITES HOW MANY JOBS HAVE BEEN CREATED SINCE THE
ELECTION, BUT NOT SINCE THE BEGINNING OF HIS

COMPARED WITH
2016, BUT SOME
CRIMES CONSIDERED
VIOLENT, SUCH AS
RAPE AND
AGGRAVATED
ASSAULT, WERE ON
31. CNN - TRUMP
WOULD BE RIGHT IN
SAYING THAT
VIOLENT CRIME IN
2017 WAS
DECLINING OVERALL
COMPARED TO
2016, ACCORDING
TO FBI STATISTICS.
HOWEVER, IT
AGAIN - That is
NOT what he said!
32. TRUMP - "MURDERS
IN AMERICA'S
LARGEST CITIES
DROPPED BY 6%
BETWEEN 2017 AND
2018. BUT I DO
HAVE TO ASK YOU
WHAT THE HELL IS
GOING ON IN
CHICAGO? WHAT IS
33. CNN - HOMICIDE IS
ESTIMATED TO HAVE
FALLEN IN SOME OF
AMERICA'S LARGEST
CITIES LAST YEAR
AND CHICAGO IS
ONE OF THEM
34. CNN - THE MURDER
RATE IN 30 OF THE
US'S LARGEST CITIES
DECLINED BY
NEARLY 6% BETWEEN
2017 AND 2018.
35. CNN - HOWEVER,
TRUMP'S SINGLING
OUT OF CHICAGO
SUGGESTS A HIGH
OR INCREASING
HOMICIDE RATE --
AND THAT IS NOT
SUPPORTED BY
FACTS.
36. TRUMP - "THE
NUMBER OF POLICE
OFFICERS SHOT AND
KILLED IN THE LINE
OF DUTY (IN 2017),
I'M SO HAPPY TO
REPORT, IS DOWN
21% COMPARED TO
THE YEAR BEFORE."
37. "TRUMP LOVES TO
SAY HE MAY NOT
LEAVE OFFICE AFTER
TWO TERMS, AND
IT’S DANGEROUS" -
ROLLING STONE,
JUNE 16, 2019
"... the president also floated the
idea of staying in office longer
that what is constitutionally
allowable"What did he actually say?
A poll should be done on which is the more dishonest
and deceitful newspaper, the Failing New York Times
or the Amazon (lobbyist) Washington Post! They are
both a disgrace to our Country, the Enemy of the
People, but I just can’t seem to figure out which is
worse? The good news is that at the end of 6 years,
after America has been made GREAT again and I leave
the beautiful White House (do you think the people
would demand that I stay longer? KEEP AMERICA
GREAT), both of these horrible papers will quickly go
out of business & be forever gone!
38. CNN - THE NUMBER
OF LAW
ENFORCEMENT
OFFICERS SHOT AND
KILLED IN THE LINE
OF DUTY IS
DECREASING.
39. CNN - TRUMP IS
RIGHT ... HOWEVER,
NUMBERS HAVE NOT
GONE BACK TO
2015 LEVELS,
AGAIN - That is
NOT what he said!
40. PRESIDENT’S “WORST” LIE ABOUT THE 9/11
TERROR ATTACKS.
• TRUMP CLAIMED DURING A 2016 GOP PRIMARY CAMPAIGN DEBATE
THAT HE LOST “HUNDREDS OF FRIENDS” IN THE COLLAPSE OF THE
TWIN TOWERS
• MSNBC’S LAWRENCE O’DONNELL KNEW HE WAS LYING. HOW?
• “I STILL DIDN’T KNOW HOW MANY FRIENDS DONALD TRUMP
MIGHT HAVE LOST ON 9/11,” O’DONNELL CONTINUED TUESDAY.
“BUT KNOWING THE WAY DONALD TRUMP LIES AS I DO, I
SUSPECTED THEN THAT THE REAL NUMBER WAS ZERO, AND THEN I
CHECKED, AND THE REAL NUMBER WAS ZERO. DONALD TRUMP DID
NOT ATTEND A SINGLE 9/11 FUNERAL, NOT ONE.”
41. THE BIGGEST LIE OVERALL (CURRENTLY)
• "THIS PAST WEEKEND, TRUMP REPEATED WHAT HAS BECOME ONE
OF THE MORE FRIGHTENINGLY DISHONEST CLAIMS FROM THE
RIGHT LATELY REGARDING ABORTION." THE GUARDIAN
• "TRUMP’S LIES ABOUT ABORTION TAKE AN ALARMING AND
INCENDIARY TURN" - MSNBC
• "TRUMP LETS LOOSE STUNNING FALSEHOOD THAT DOCTORS,
MOTHERS ‘EXECUTE’ BABIES'" - TPM
• "TRUMP'S DESPICABLE LIES ON ABORTION" - HUFFPOST
• "TRUMP HAS A NEW GO-TO LIE ABOUT ABORTION, AND IT'S
HORRIFIC" – MOTHER JONES
42. WHAT DID TRUMP SAY THAT HAS THEM SO
UPSET?
• “THE BABY IS BORN. THE MOTHER MEETS WITH THE
DOCTOR. THEY TAKE CARE OF THE BABY. THEY WRAP
THE BABY BEAUTIFULLY. AND THEN THE DOCTOR AND
THE MOTHER DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THEY WILL
EXECUTE THE BABY.” - DONALD TRUMP
43. WHAT DID VIRGINIA'S GOVERNOR RALPH
NORTHAM SAY ?
• "IF A MOTHER IS IN LABOR, I CAN TELL YOU EXACTLY
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN. THE INFANT WOULD BE
DELIVERED. THE INFANT WOULD BE KEPT COMFORTABLE.
THE INFANT WOULD BE RESUSCITATED IF THAT’S WHAT
THE MOTHER AND THE FAMILY DESIRED, AND THEN A
DISCUSSION WOULD ENSUE BETWEEN THE PHYSICIANS
AND THE MOTHER." - VIRGINIA'S GOVERNOR RALPH
NORTHAM
44. THE TWO STATEMENTS SIDE BY SIDE
• “THE BABY IS BORN. THE MOTHER MEETS WITH THE DOCTOR. THEY TAKE CARE
OF THE BABY. THEY WRAP THE BABY BEAUTIFULLY. AND THEN THE DOCTOR
AND THE MOTHER DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THEY WILL EXECUTE THE
BABY.” - DONALD TRUMP
• "IF A MOTHER IS IN LABOR, I CAN TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT WOULD HAPPEN.
THE INFANT WOULD BE DELIVERED. THE INFANT WOULD BE KEPT
COMFORTABLE. THE INFANT WOULD BE RESUSCITATED IF THAT’S WHAT THE
MOTHER AND THE FAMILY DESIRED, AND THEN A DISCUSSION WOULD ENSUE
BETWEEN THE PHYSICIANS AND THE MOTHER." - VIRGINIA'S GOVERNOR RALPH
NORTHAM
45. BOTTOM LINE
• REMEMBER THAT A LIE IS AN INTENTIONAL FALSEHOOD
• 99.99% OF THOSE ON THE LEFT WILL NOT CHECK ANY OF
THESE 'LIES'
• UNFORTUNATELY 95% OF THOSE ON THE RIGHT WON'T
EITHER
• WHEN SOMEONE TELLS YOU THAT TRUMP LIES "ALL THE
TIME" ASK THEM TO NAME JUST 5. OR 3. ODDS ARE
THEY CANNOT.
