Basketball Legend Charles Barkley Sparks Backlash After Launching an Idiotic Attack on Trump’s Immigration Policies During March Madness (VIDEO)

Americans who were tuning in to watch Sunday’s classic Duke-UConn Elite Eight NCAA Tournament matchup were treated to an immigration lecture from legendary NBA player and broadcaster Charles Barkley. And they were not happy.
As Fox News reported, CBS shared a legal immigration story concerning UConn star forward Alex Karaban during the pregame. They talked about how his mother arrived in Massachusetts from Ukraine with her parents and grandparents in 1996.
Meanwhile, Karaban’s father, Alexei, immigrated to the U.S. from Belarus on a work visa in 2001. One year later, Alex was born in Southborough.
Despite the story’s non-political nature, Sir Charles used the moment to launch an ill-informed attack on President Trump’s immigration policies, calling the treatment of immigrants in America “a travesty and disgrace.”
In the process, he not only failed to provide a single example of immigrants being abused, but also made no distinction between illegal and legal migrants.
Barkley then closed by saying that immigrants built America and said everyone should respect them. Once again, he failed to distinguish between legal and illegal aliens.
WATCH:
“The way some of these other immigrants are getting treated in our country right now is a travesty and a disgrace… I think what’s going on in our country, what we’re doing to some of these amazing immigrants, is really unfortunate and it’s really sad.” – Charles Barkley on CBS pic.twitter.com/uEllZpD57u

BARKLEY: I want to be careful with my words right now because this is a really touchy subject for me. I love that kid and his family, but the way some of these other immigrants are getting treated in our country right now is a travesty and a disgrace.
I think there’s a difference between amazing immigrants and criminal immigrants. I think what’s going on in our country, what we’re doing to some of these amazing immigrants, is really unfortunate, and it’s really sad.
And that’s a great immigrant story. We have a lot of great immigrant stories out there that their stories need to be told, but some of the stuff that’s happening to immigrants in our country right now is really unfortunate, and it’s really unfair.
But immigrants built this country, and we should admire them and respect them.
Unlike UConn’s miraculous game-winning three with 0.4 seconds left following a Duke turnover, this take from Barkley proved a complete airball with Americans.
Charles Barkley: “There’s a difference between amazing immigrants and criminal immigrants.”
No, Chuck.
The real difference is between LEGAL immigrants and ILLEGAL immigrants.

I can appreciate Charles Barkley’s heart, but this is inappropriate and unprofessional.
He made the segment overtly political when it didn’t need to be.
Wanna share your thoughts about illegal immigration and ICE? Do it elsewhere.
Keep March Madness coverage apolitical.

Charles Barkley is too dumb to know the difference between a legal immigrant and an illegal immigrant.

Charles Barkley: this is MARCH MADNESS. We don’t want to hear your unintelligent, indecipherable takes on politics. You’ve always been great with entertaining us (regarding basketball—even when you’ve not done your homework) but you’re bollocks when it comes to politics. STHU.

GTFO Chuck, stop the moral grandstanding. When Obama was being called the “Deporter in Chief” none of these people said a fucking word. They didn’t give one single fuck about the illegals. Now they just parrot all of these bullshit claims that all illegals are somehow being…

ULTIMATUM: President Trump Issues Chilling 48-Hour Warning to Iran as Deadline Looms — ‘All Hell Will Reign Down’

President Donald J. Trump took to Truth Social on Saturday to deliver a final, bone-chilling warning to the radical mullahs in Tehran: Open the Strait of Hormuz now, or face total annihilation.
Trump has been playing nuclear-level chess with the Iranian regime ever since they tried to choke off one-fifth of the world’s oil supply in retaliation for America and Israel’s decisive strikes that left their military in ruins.
Back on March 21, Trump issued his first iron-fisted 48-hour ultimatum, warning that the U.S. would “obliterate” Iran’s power plants, starting with the biggest ones, if the Strait wasn’t opened “FULLY, WITHOUT THREAT.”
The regime responded with hysterical threats to wipe out Middle East water supplies and desalination plants, proving once again they are nothing but a bunch of apocalyptic fanatics who hate civilization.
Trump graciously extended the deadline by 10 days at Iran’s request to give them a chance to negotiate, setting a new drop-dead date for Monday, April 6.
But the ayatollahs have continued to play games, allowing limited oil to flow to everyone EXCEPT the U.S., Israel, and key Gulf allies while keeping the world on the brink of an energy crisis.
Now, with the extended deadline looming, President Trump is reminding the world, and especially the mad mullahs in Tehran, that his patience has limits.
“Remember when I gave Iran ten days to MAKE A DEAL or OPEN UP THE HORMUZ STRAIT. Time is running out – 48 hours before all Hell will reign down on them. Glory be to GOD! President DONALD J. TRUMP”
President Trump on Thursday posted a video of Iran’s B1 bridge in Karaj, the tallest bridge in the Middle East, being destroyed in an airstrike.
Trump posted the video on Truth Social, writing, “The biggest bridge in Iran comes tumbling down, never to be used again — Much more to follow! IT IS TIME FOR IRAN TO MAKE A DEAL BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE, AND THERE IS NOTHING LEFT OF WHAT STILL COULD BECOME A GREAT COUNTRY! President DONALD J. TRUMP.”

POWDER KEG EUROPE: German Men Now Have to Ask the Army for Permission to Leave the Country for More Than Three Months

Welcome to the Bundeswehr, young men.
German fighting-age males are getting an early taste of the military escalation on the old continent.
We have been reporting here on TGP how the Euro-Globalist ‘leaders’ in Europe have been pushing their countries through a military buildup not seen since the end of the Cold War.
But it did take us by surprise just how fast Germany escalated their military service rules into draconian demands.
It has now been reported that German men ‘of fighting age’ must now ask the Bundeswehr for permission to leave the country for more than three months.

The Telegraph reported:
“The government has introduced a new military service scheme this year that stops short of conscription but requires men born from 2008 onwards to take a medical exam and fill in a survey about their fitness for service.
It has emerged that a clause in the law also requires men aged between 17 and 45 to obtain a permit from the Bundeswehr, the German armed forces, before leaving the country for extended periods.”
Germany is tightening oversight of potential conscripts.

“The purpose of the new rule in Germany is to restrict the movements of men of fighting age in the event of a national crisis such as a war, which may require emergency conscription.
The rule says: ‘Male persons who have reached the age of 17 must obtain permission from the responsible career center of the German armed forces if they wish to leave the Federal Republic of Germany for more than three months’.”
