Routine reminder that Bhattacharya is an economics researcher who has never practiced medicine and whose best known publication is overtly fraudulent.

I'm watching Acts of Valor, a propaganda movie made by the Navy SEALS and a Hallmark-grade team from Hollywood. The bad guy appears to be a Russian cartel gangster who was childhood best friends with a Chechen jihadist. He operates out of the Costa Rican jungle.

Pres Trump told me tonight the US had identified possible candidates to take over Iran, but they were killed in the initial attack.

"The attack was so successful it knocked out most of the candidates," Trump told me. "It's not going to be anybody that we were thinking of because they are all dead. Second or third place is dead."

Here are actual facts showing that immigrants aren't a drain on government resources – quite the opposite. They pay more in taxes than they get in benefits. (The Cato Institute, which did the study, is definitely not a liberal group – it's libertarian.)

Arriving in a Blackhawk helicopter and more, ICE raids an apartment building in Chicago. "It was scary, because I had never had a gun in my face," said one resident. "We're under siege. We're being invaded by our own military." abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chi...

Citizen app video captured the chaotic scene, and neighbors say there were dozens of ICE agents.

"As I got to my unit to stick my key in the door, I was grabbed by an officer. And, I said, 'What's going on? What's going on?' He never actually told me. He said I was being detained.," said Alicia Brooks.

Neighbors like Eboni Watson say they ducked for cover as they heard several flash bangs.

"They was terrified. The kids was crying. People was screaming. They looked very distraught. I was out there crying when I seen the little girl come around the corner, because they was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other," Watson said. "That's all I kept asking. What is the morality? Where's the human? One of them literally laughed. He was standing right here. He said, 'f*** them kids.'"
