Over the last three days President Trump has posted a series of tweets aimed squarely at the Mexican government and its inaction regarding the migrant caravan working its way through their country. The mob was over a thousand illegals strong, was comprised largely of Hondurans, and was on a collision course with the U.S. southern border.
During a Saturday afternoon Town Hall in Detroit, Michigan, DNC Black Caucus Chairwoman Virgie Rollins eagerly informed DNC Deputy Chair Keith Ellison that she was a former member of the Black Panther Party.
In the past, when embattled Fox News hosts have taken a “short vacation,” it hasn’t gone well for them. For better or worse, Bill O’Reilly and Eric Bolling both took outrage-inspired “breaks” that ended up becoming permanent after a few days. It appears Laura Ingraham will not suffer the same fate, as Fox News has issued a strong statement in her defense.
For Democrats, there’s no tax increase too massive, no tax-and-spend black hole they won’t throw your money into, and no social program too fiscally irresponsible for them to support. They’ve never met a tax hike they couldn’t justify and, if they run into any trouble, they just trot out the old “the rich don’t play their fair share” line.
As you know, Hillary Clinton blew her last shot at the presidency over a year ago. Election day 2016 is now over 16 months in the past, and Trump has been in office for more than a year. Still, miraculously, Mrs. Clinton hasn’t managed to exhaust her 2017 Excuse-A-Day calendar.
Democrats want the 2nd Amendment gone. The elimination of your right to bear arms has been at or near the top of their agenda for years. For a long time, they danced around it. They’d pretend they were big 2A supporters, pay lip service to “tradition,” and film a few campaign ads where they went duck hunting in a khaki vest and a plaid hat. It was all a lie. The truth has always been that they can’t wait for the day when you no longer have the right to defend yourself.
On Tuesday, rejected 2016 wannabe Jeb! Bush gave a speech at Yale. According to the Yale News, Jeb! is trying to move past his disastrous 2016 effort ...by trashing implying that Donald Trump's kids don't love him.
It's getting hard to keep track of all the lies Democrats have told about the investigation into supposed "Russian collusion" with the Trump campaign. From the origins of "the dossier," to the FISA application, to the whole wiretapping scandal the falsehoods, half-truths, and untenable innuendo has been piling up for over a year. To keep track of them all, you'd need one of those crazy conspiracy theorist walls with red string connecting all the players.
As we told you yesterday, Democrats are in full freakout mode over the possibility that the next US Census could include one simple, easy to answer, question.
"Are you a U.S. Citizen?"
Yesterday, Dan did a nice job of eviscerating retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens' asinine mainstreaming of the idea that the United States should repeal the 2nd Amendment. If you haven't read that, you can do so here. Most of Stevens' argument centers around the District of Columbia v. Heller decision which reaffirmed the unarguable fact that firearm ownership is - and always was - an individual right.
We never thought this day would come. Pigs are flying. The cows came home. It's a blue moon. Hell has frozen over. Hear this and hear it clearly, because you may never hear it again...
They've tried to ban firearms for years. They're getting louder about eliminating the 2nd Amendment. They say they "respect the right to bear arms" and "No one wants to take your guns," but they are - unarguably - lying. That's exactly what they want.
I would love to have been in the CNN newsroom when these numbers came in. They've burned months of airtime on scandal after scandal, negative story and negative story, all in an endless quest to make the country despise Donald Trump. You're supposed to hate him. He's supposed to disgust you. His approval numbers are supposed to be down in the low 20s. Heck, he was supposed to be impeached by now.
President Trump has been pushing for "Right to Try" legislation almost since his campaign began. The idea is that terminally ill patients, who've decided they have nothing to lose, should have the right to try experimental procedures and medication that may not be ready for mass implementation. Everyone understands that there are very real risks involved with this course of action but, if you've exhausted all other options, you may be ready for one last desperation play.
If you were hoping that Barack Obama would be quiet as he watches subsequent Presidents dismantle his legacy, well, you were really kidding yourself. This is a guy who many of the "fringier" political elements have touted as the obvious choice to run the world via the UN - so he wasn't just going to wander off into the sunset. Obama intends to stick around. He's already been making his voice heard, and he’s focused on grooming an entire generation of ideological clones to help carry on that work when he finally does retire.
When Hillary Clinton wants you to think "she's just like you," she busts out her southern revival accent or eats at Chipotle. When Obama wanted you to think he was just a "regular fella" he'd get a burger and beer that his wife supposedly disapproved of. Virtually every out-of-touch politician has some contrived way of trying to make it seem that they're just one of the down-to-Earth "real people" they hope to rule with an iron fist.
Whatever you think of Rand Paul, the one thing no one can accuse him of being is 'partisan hack.' He's bucked his own party as much as anyone other than John McCain, and - unlike McCain - he's done it for the right reasons. So, when he absolutely rips into John Brennan's vitriolic comments and tears into the Mueller "Russian collusion" investigation, saying he's just toeing the party line isn't going to cut it.
Back on March 6th, Dan told you about how Libby Schaaf, Oakland's Democrat mayor, decided to warn 800 illegals of an impending ICE raid.
Arizona spends a lot of time worrying about trouble crossing its southern border. However, as GOP Rep. Martha McSally jokingly pointed out, they may need to start worrying about issues to their west as well. That's because the left coast's immigration policies (and a host of other problems) are starting to affect neighboring states, and the people running those states are none too pleased.
To recap: rural America is racist, misogynist, bigoted, backwards, and not smart enough to vote for Hillary Clinton. That's the word from the Democrats' 2016 presidential nominee. According to Hillary, only the places that voted for her are decent, forward thinking, and optimistic about the future. The rest of the country, the red part, is a hellhole filled with troglodytes.
