President Trump continues to keep his promise to protect our borders and curb illegal immigration. After a recent Federal Court Ruling, the president tweeted on Thursday that his administration would be withholding federal funds from sanctuary cities.

From the New York Post:

The US Court of Appeals in Manhattan ruled on Feb. 26 that the government can withhold millions in dollars in law enforcement grants to cities and states that do not give US Immigration and Customs Enforcement access to jails and alert the agency when an illegal immigrant is being released.

Leftists will surely continue to fight the administration’s legal authority to protect Americans, but to what end? When will the left realize that open borders and sanctuary policies are detrimental to the safety and prosperity of American citizens?

In other immigration news, the southwestern border could see a rush of illegal immigrants that could potentially overwhelm the system as early as next Thursday. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against the Trump administration’s “Remain in Mexico” policy, that would require non-Mexican asylum seekers to remain in Mexico while they await their asylum claims to be processed in the United States.

After the court’s ruling, it became apparent that it could cause an influx of migrants showing up at the southern border, so at the request of the government the court stayed its injunction until the Supreme Court could weigh in. If the Supreme Court doesn’t weigh in by March 11, the stay will be lifted for California and Arizona and could lead to a rush to the border on March 12. We’ll keep you posted as details progress.

A lot can change in five days as many political pundits had written off Joe Biden's presidential campaign as dead only to see him roar back and become the favorite to win the nomination.

South Carolina voted last Saturday and was always seen as a firewall for Biden. After his struggles in Iowa and New Hampshire, there were worries Biden would lose South Carolina. Instead, an adequate debate performance coupled with the endorsement of Rep. James Clyburn propelled the former vice president to a nearly 30-point win. He will, if nominated, still lose the state in a landslide to President Trump, but hey at least Democrats like him. 

Sen. Bernie Sanders did collect some delegates in the state but struggled to expand his base beyond socialists and college students. 

The importance of the so-called Super Tuesday elections is difficult to overstate. Approximately 34% of available delegates were up for grabs meaning a candidate could grab a huge lead and build momentum. Fourteen states voted all over the nation, and candidates had to rely on either a strong ground game or momentum to succeed.

Many thought Sanders would dominate, as establishment candidates like Biden, Michael Bloomberg, Sen. Amy Klobuchar and Pete Buttigieg would split the vote.

Thankfully for Biden, Klobuchar and Buttigieg dropped out after barely registering in South Carolina and endorsed Biden. Their endorsements consolidated the establishment vote around Biden and gave voters a clear alternative to Sanders’ socialism.

Biden's momentum and the late endorsements pushed him to a big night, as he won in the South as expected, but also won states like Massachusetts, Maine and Minnesota that were supposed to be favorable for Sanders. 

Sanders did score some wins, including a big delegate haul from California. But his campaign invested heavily in Texas only to see it swing to Biden at the last moment.

The other two serious candidates, Bloomberg and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, both underperformed and failed to collect any delegates in several states. On Wednesday, Bloomberg suspended his campaign and endorsed Joe Biden, guess he could not buy the election after all. Warren also dropped out, after finishing an embarrassing third in her home state.

Biden will have to survive several more debates and primaries before all is said and done, but he has re-established himself as the frontrunner for the nomination. Sanders still has a chance but needs to turn things around after a disappointing performance.

We want to end by highlighting three ridiculous stories we have seen in the news this week.

1. Legislators in Wisconsin are attempting to block a law that would protect free speech on college campuses, even though Wisconsin students have tried to shut down conservative speakers like Ben Shapiro in the past.

2. Some pundits claim voting for Joe Biden is conservative. Timothy Carney obliterates this argument in his recent piece.

3. Former DNC Chairwoman Donna Brazile told RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel to “go to hell” because McDaniel made factual statements about how Brazile funneled Hillary Clinton debate questions in 2016. Brazile’s meltdown shows Democrats are worried Sanders’ voters might stay home or vote Trump if they feel the process has been rigged.
