In a free society, laws are made to assist a citizenry in living together with the least friction. Otherwise, there becomes a ruling class…and then everyone else.

Americans will have little patience being lumped in the latter category.

As an Investor’s Business Daily editorial notes, concerning the deep-state acts against a sitting President: “What they did was plainly illegal, outside the scope of their duties, a violation of the Constitution…McCabe, Rosenstein and others lied repeatedly. They lied about what they were doing against Trump, to hide it from closer scrutiny.”

And the IBD editorial doesn’t stop there: “But, at the same time, we also need to investigate the Deep State’s efforts on behalf of Hillary Clinton during the 2016 campaign. Congress should spend some time on the real collusion that occurred between Hillary Clinton’s campaign, the CIA, the FBI and the Justice Department, as part of a larger effort to remove President Trump from office.” 

Not to mention that “Her ties and favors to the Russians while secretary of state — and even as the Clinton Foundation received Russian money — looks a lot like old-fashioned graft. There is ample evidence that Hillary Clinton committed actual crimes. She did so both as Secretary of State and as an officer in the Clinton Family Foundation. If so, they warrant prosecution. And yet, the Justice Department has done nothing but pursue what, at least up to now, appear to be phantom, politically motivated charges of “collusion” against Trump.”

Will ‘equal justice under the law’ prevail?

From the ‘hands up, don’t shoot‘ lie to false MAGA-hate, the Left and their extremist hate groups show there’s no hoax too far-fetched in their effort to stir up racial angst.

And yet, black Americans by a large majority still support the Party that plays them?

Can anyone explain that?

(Latest irony? The motivation behind the MAGA-hat-hate-hoax was the fact that a hoax hate-letter mailed to the same perpetrator didn’t yield the moral outrage he trolled for.)

Probably the most lucid legal argument confirming the President’s power to build the wall comes from Jonathan Turley, who has argued cases at the Supreme Court:

“Why Trump will win the wall fight“

Turley’s take on ‘the limited role of courts in challenges to federal law’…“It is not the task of judges to sit as a super legislature to question…agendas of…political branches.”

His article points out that Congress legislated the powers President Trump just used.

“This is the making of Congress. For decades, Congress frittered away control over its authority, including the power of the purse. I have testified before Congress, warning about the expansion of executive power and the failure of Congress to guard its own authority. The two primary objections have been Congress giving presidents largely unchecked authority and undedicated money. The wall funding controversy today is a grotesque result of both of these failures.”

BOOM!

And his condemnation of Congress doesn’t stop there. He (rightly) points out that “Congress has yielded more and more power to the executive branch over decades. In many areas, it has reduced the legislative branch to a mere pedestrian in government, leaving real governing decisions to a kind of “fourth branch” of federal agencies. For their part, presidents have thus become more and more bold in circumventing Congress. When Obama gave a State of the Union proclaiming his intention to bypass Congress after it failed to pass immigration reform, Democrats applauded loudly.”

(But then, of course, that was Obama…so it was okay.)

Now, irony of ironies – Democrats condemn the emergency declaration as “…an effort to use executive power to get what Congress would not give Trump”…but then go to the courts “…to use judicial power to do much the same thing“…since Congress evidently can’t even convince it’s own members to override this latest Presidential action.

The Democrat Party is the poster-child for political hypocrisy, and Turley points it out.

(Not that anyone needed help in recognizing this latest pathetic ploy for what it is.)

If the article isn’t convincing, consider this:

For a federal court to rule against this emergency action is to rule

• President’s aren’t empowered to do what they’re lawfully empowered to do, and
• Congress isn’t empowered to legislate.

Can’t wait to see how this turns out.

But, then, why the surprise?

Considering the collusion-hoax being perpetrated on a sitting President…

…this Smollett hoax, by comparison, is small-time.

Surprise!! Yet another Obama-holdover deep-stater, former acting FBI Director McCabe has written a book, in which he lays out his ‘patriotic’ defense of attacks against Trump.

But, let’s cut to the chase…

If contacts with Russia and/or its agents, or financial transactions with Russia and/or its agents justify investigating presidential candidates, why wasn’t Hillary their target?

After all, as secretary of state she was behind efforts to allow Russia and/or its agents to acquire critical American uranium assets, and during/after her stint in the Obama administration, the Clinton Foundation took in $145+ million from Russia/agents.

We’re all grown-ups here:

Who doesn’t acknowledge that giving Russia and/or its agents control of critical United States uranium assets might be a tad more important than beauty pageants, or hotels?

Anyone? Anyone?

Those who accept Deep-State justifications for undermining Trump are lying to us or lying to themselves, but either way…the fact is…THEY’RE LYING.

The fact that Hillary Clinton is STILL WALKING FREE is living proof of that.

So, sure, want some fantasy fiction to read…here’s your chance.

But we won’t indulge: we already know how low they can go.

There’s a huge reason not to sign that bill.

According to reports, the spending bill has language that will further endanger minors by not allowing detainment or deportation of any illegal trying to get in with children.

Signing this bill into law GUARANTEES that use of minors will be escalated.

Don’t misunderstand…the restrictive landmines in this bill only pertain to funding from this bill, so it’s restrictions have nothing to do with funds taken from other areas.

This bill shouldn’t be signed on a MORAL basis.

And, the President should point out the specific language Democrats are using to force this issue AT THE EXPENSE OF THOSE HURT BY THE SHUTDOWN.

Then, he should point out he’ll sign once those areas of language are removed, and it should take them just a day or two to revise it.

Otherwise, Democrats are exposing themselves to be the REAL cause of the shutdown.

“Pelosi warns GOP: Next president could declare national emergency on guns“

Seriously? Does she think a president can overturn the Bill of Rights arbitrarily?

Existing law tasks an Executive branch with directing immigration, customs, border control, law enforcement, and nat’l security agencies, all of which Trump’s trying to do.

Existing law, we might add, that Democrats legislated…including border wall funding.

It’s amazing that Nancy Pelosi has a problem with the President enforcing existing law and then conflates that with a hypothetical where a future president can violate law.

Is it scary that the Democrat House speaker doesn’t see the difference?

Or, understand the Constitution?

Democrats just came out with their ‘If-1-Life-Can-Be-Saved’ justification criteria and when it can be applied, as reported in the following NewsBusters.org article:

“CNN Lets Dem Guest Push Gun Control, ‘If It Saves Just One Life'”

See, it’s not an okay justification if it comes to border walls to stop the deadly effects of vicious gangs and drug-trafficking illegals, but, sure, it’s fine if it takes your guns. 

Class dismissed.

Democrats  claim voter ID requirements stop minorities and elderly from voting.

But, as reported in the Washington Times, a new, extensive study shows “…strict voter ID laws have no significant effect on voter turnout, don’t keep interested voters from being able to vote, and for that matter don’t prevent them from registering.”

BOOM.

And it should come as no surprise that Americans still don’t have much confidence in the system even when ID is required, as many states issue ID to illegals anyway.

But don’t conflate a vote of ‘no confidence’ with negative aspects of requiring voter ID, because individual trust in a system is a subjective standard with no measurable basis.

It certainly shouldn’t be used by anti-voter-ID groups as a reason to stop voter ID.

Look at it this way: ID is required to buy cigarettes/liquor, get on an airplane, or enter a gov’t building…even though we’re aware there are ways to game those necessities.

Voter ID is crucial for obvious reasons: voting gives every citizen an important voice in the type of gov’t they want…and ID deters fraudulent votes from negating your vote.

Parents know their kids bring up last-minute issues for a reason.

Developing a 1200-page House legislative budget ‘deal’ at the last minute can only mean one thing…Democrats snuck in ‘landmines’ with no time to read and catch them.

Senate Republicans better man up, because if they won’t…the President will.

The first government shutdown, despite reports to the contrary, actually worked in the President’s favor – it brought into sharp focus a very real border security problem.

As Pres Trump said a day or so ago, there’s no reason for a shutdown this time and he wants to get budget legislation signed, but rest assured Democrats have mined the bill.

They believe with media behind them they can lie and blame the GOP as responsible for the next shutdown, should one occur as a result of their legislative malfeasance.

There’s no reason for last-minute legislation, and it doesn’t serve the American public well for such deceptive practices to occur…just because one Party pushes an agenda.

Congress should be required to pass budget measures with adequate time for review.

Until common sense strikes, Republicans should get in front of this deceptive chicanery, expose it for what it is in specific terms, and smoke out the deceit in this legislation.
