Good morning kids. President Donald Trump's magnificent first week continues to make all the right wrong heads explode, especially when it comes to the numero uno issue that gave him an unqualified landslide victory this past November, the destruction of anything resembling sane immigration policy by the intentional erasure of our border and concomitant erosion of our internal security, safety and as intended by those who did this starting well before Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants Biden and his handlers kicked it into overdrive, our national identity as a society and culture.
“I think what he’s done with the military in addition to the legal aspects that may be involved has a lot to do with a publicity stunt. The point is cruelty. the point is instilling fear.”
I believe the word you're looking for, genius is "deterrence." And as we know, or at least most of us were taught, if you do something wrong, you are going to get punished. From a spanking, to being grounded all the way up to the electric chair. At least, that's how it used to work until Leftists thought one way to achieve utopia meant decriminalization of crime - that and making any opposition to their quest for absolute power a crime against humanity. 100 million martyred souls in just over 100 years (and counting!) is proof positive of that observation.
New York City, Chicago and Boston are among the sanctuary cities collapsing after waves of migrants stormed across the open borders. Even cities that once boasted of providing sanctuary to illegal aliens from federal immigration enforcement are now running away from the name.
Sanctuary cities were always intended to be destructive. They were not, as many Democrats now wrongly claim, about providing safe harbor to refugees, but about bringing down America.
The sanctuary cities did not emerge in response to the Holocaust, the Rwandan genocide or any actual genocide, but to provide support and sanctuary for Marxists fleeing the civil wars they had started in Latin America, and then later for Islamic terrorists after September 11.
Sanctuary cities were not about helping refugees, but about harboring America’s enemies. . .
. . . The larger agenda had less to do with refugees and more to do with aiding Marxist revolutions. . .
. . . The sanctuary movement was smuggling migrants and then publicly announcing it to undermine the Reagan administration’s foreign policy and challenge American opposition to Communism.
Et Voila, somehow Bernie Sanders becomes a US Senator and more amazingly (to me anyway) John Brennan not only becomes a CIA agent but rises to ultimately become head of the corporation itself!
Invasion USA (1952) and Red Dawn (1985) have got nothing on this madness, my friends. And speaking of invasion USA . . .
US Border Patrol agents and suspected Mexican cartel members traded gunfire near the southern border Monday as a group of migrants tried to enter the US illegally, according to a report.
The shooting took place around 1:30 p.m. near Fronton, Texas, but no injuries were reported, Customs and Border Protection said in a statement without revealing more details.
A group of migrants were trying to cross the Rio Grande when shots first rang out, according to Fox News. Border patrol agents then returned fire at suspected cartel members, Fox News reporter Bill Melugin tweeted earlier Monday, citing law enforcement sources.
The scene where the shooting took place remains active with the Customs and Border Protection Office of Professional Responsibility, DHS Office of Inspector General, the FBI and Texas Department of Public Safety all involved in the probe, Customs and Border Protection said Monday night.
The shooting comes as President Trump makes cracking down on illegal immigration and fortifying the southern border an early hallmark of his second term in the Oval Office.
US officials said last week the Pentagon would start shipping up to 1,500 active duty troops to the Mexican border to join about 2,200 US National Guard and Reserve personnel already in place.
Trump was also considering sending up to 10,000 troops to the border as part of the country’s effort to seal the borders, the Washington Post reported last week.
Putting aside however many tens of thousands of the more than 40 million illegal aliens already in country are dangerous violent criminals and/or terrorists, the fact is that Mexico or at least large swathes of its territory are controlled by narco-terrorists and that in and of itself presents a grave national security threat that President Trump's response vis a vis sending our military to the border is wholly appropriate and in keeping with his oath of office.
Regardless of whether or not you're merely an illiterate peasant coming here to pick lettuce or a drug or human trafficker coming here to rape, murder and pillage, if mass deportations, the deploying of our military to the border and if need be the use of deadly force to stop this makes even one foreigner from even daring to dip a toe into the Rio Grande, then Ana Navarro, you have proven the point!
Film and TV star Selena Gomez deleted a video of herself crying over the mass deportation of accused child rapists, human and drug traffickers, gang members, and other violent criminals after receiving public backlash. “Apparently it’s not ok to show empathy for people,” the Emilia Pérez star said.
. . . “Shame on you, Selena Gomez, for fake crying over illegal aliens being deported back to their homeland. I’ve never seen you cry over the missing and exploited women and children that get trafficked through the Southern border,” another social media user declared.
“If Selena Gomez is crying just imagine how Laken Riley’s mom feels,” another commented.
“Did Selena Gomez cry like this when Laken Riley was brutally murdered?” another asked.
On another front, which is getting little coverage because of the border, Donald Trump has proposed some intriguing solutions that can address not only our insane national debt but the metastasis of an ever intrusive and oppressive bureaucracy that threatens our prosperity and liberty that are of course linked.
President Trump has once again demonstrated his unwavering commitment to making America great again by proposing a return to the economic policies that once made the United States the wealthiest and most powerful nation in the world, namely ending the federal income tax.
In a speech Monday evening, Trump outlined his vision for reviving America's economic golden age through a strategic use of tariffs, a policy that has historically proven to be immensely beneficial for the country.
Trump began by emphasizing the potential for rapid economic growth, stating, "America is going to be very rich again and it's going to happen very quickly." He then delved into the historical context, highlighting the period from 1870 to 1913 as "the richest period in the history of the United States." During this era, the United States relied heavily on tariffs, which Trump noted was a key factor in the nation's prosperity.
One of the most compelling points Trump made was the establishment of the Great Tariff Commission of 1887. This commission was tasked with a unique and enviable problem: deciding what to do with the enormous sums of money generated by tariffs. Trump explained, "And this commission had one function, what to do with all the money that we took in. It was so enormous that they had no idea—it was a blue ribbon committee set up in 1887—and what to do with all of the money that we had." This historical context underscores the immense wealth that tariffs brought to the United States.
It raises questions that we here have debated and discussed for a long time. Namely, what is supposed to be the purpose of the federal government and what are we willing to cede to it in the name of our safety and security, personal and national? It is one thing, and indeed a very good thing to pay down the national debt that will one day destroy us. That is if erased borders and naked tyranny in and out of government doesn't turn the next generation into brainwashed zombies as it did perhaps much of the last two or three.
Have a great day.
