FakeNews went nuts reporting that Manafort ‘colluded’ with Russians, but then…

…Breitbart.com headline: “News Outlets Correct ‘Bombshell’ Reports on Manafort: Wanted Info Sent to Ukrainians Not Russians” Oopsie daisy. (underline added)

Funny thing is, we all know during the 2016 presidential campaigning, there was a political Party colluding with Russian intelligence operatives, through FusionGPS.

But rather than caterwauling news outlets blaring that fact, we get…crickets…?

When a mule-team refuses to pull the load, whipping them bloody is useless.

Someone should explain that to the conservatives arguing against President Trump’s threat to declare the southern border crisis a national emergency so a wall gets funded.

Usually, folks at National Review Online (NRO) offer thoughtful, cogent views on the issues, but their stand against the President acting when Congress won’t is perplexing.

It’s painfully clear that Congress refuses to pull the load.

For too long, Congress politicians have used the illegal immigration issue as a partisan vote/fund-raising ploy, never willing to go the final distance to solve the problems.

All the political leaders against the building of a wall now voted for doing just that when the political expedient forced the issue…but then failed to fund what they voted for later.

Wringing their hands and wailing about what Congress should do is not an answer; nor is warning darkly against a ‘unilateral executive action’ in the face of such recalcitrance.

And dismissing such a presidential executive action as a “…a dispute involving a core congressional power, spending…” without acknowledging that a core executive power is to ensure our Nation’s national security is journalistic malfeasance.

No one can deny the huge cost America incurs because of the current border crisis.

No one can deny the huge national security threat posed by open borders.

No one can deny as long as the border remains porous, illegal immigration continues.

No one can deny Congress has failed to do it’s job.

No one can deny the President has tried to get them to do their job for two years.

You can only whip that mule for so long.

Sorry NRO – you’re wrong…a country without border defenses isn’t a country.

And, without national security, ‘congressional spending power’ is a moot point.

Mr. President, give Congress a deadline…if they fail, take unilateral executive action.

Democrats heap scorn on the border crisis President Trump addressed, which is richly bizarre when one considers the fact they manufactured the crisis in the first place.

By obstructing reasonable border security, calling for open borders, and endorsing sanctuary policies, they’ve encouraged the illegal immigrants to continue their efforts.

When it comes to a manufactured crisis…no one holds a candle to Democrats.

The Washington Times (emphasis added in all excerpts):

“Border authorities are referring 50 people a day for urgent medical care, including tuberculosis, flu and even pregnant women about to give birth, a top official said Monday, saying it’s unlike anything they’ve ever seen before.”

“Most of those in need of care are children, and a staggering 28 percent are under age 5, having been dragged along for the trip by parents who in many cases are hoping to use the children as a shield against speedy deportation from the U.S.”

NOT A CRISIS?

Of the 60,000 illegal immigrants caught/encountered at border crossings in December, over 22,000 were kids. “Since Dec. 22 there have been 450 medical cases that needed treatment, including flu, parasites, blood infections, abscesses, tuberculosis and pneumonia…” How can this be defined as anything but a crisis?

President Trump has (rightly) demanded that Congress do their job.

Failing that, with executive action he must do what’s necessary to stop this madness.

Answer – when those 4000 homicides were committed by illegal immigrants.

As President Trump noted, over the last two years U.S. ICE (Immigration & Customs Enforcement) officers arrested aliens responsible for over 4000 homicides.

But to Democrats, there’s no crisis here. Yet, over the last two years, school shootings  resulting in 53 homicides (not counting the perpetrator) DOES qualify as a crisis?

It’s not an humanitarian crisis when they end their journey at the U.S. border…

…it’s when they START their journey.

Everyone knows luring women and children into danger is criminal.

But that’s exactly what the Democrat open-borders rhetoric does…enticing thousands of women/kids who will be used as emotional shields (or worse), and will be sexually molested and otherwise physically endangered along a torturous journey to the USA.

Clearly, open-border and sanctuary policies encourage such criminal endangerment.

It’s no different than online sex predation, or luring children across busy roads with an enticement of candy or toys…it endangers those who are enticed into bad choices…

…and should be prosecuted similarly.

PERIOD.

FULL.STOP.

As for the Left defining a crisis as the journey’s end, rather than it’s beginning, that’s like saying a child hit by a car was the crisis, but not the act of luring them into the road.

Or…

…are they saying sex assaults and physical hardships endured on the way don’t count?

Arguably, Obama stretched executive action powers thin during his 8-year reign.

And, despite incessant Left ranting that President Trump is similarly dictatorial, his speech last evening proves he believes in the Constitutional framework of government.

He didn’t threaten executive action. He didn’t threaten to declare a national emergency.

He called on Congress to DO THEIR JOB.

It’s a proven fact that physical barriers work – call it a wall, call it a fence, call it a barrier, it doesn’t matter how it’s described, physical barriers work. Any doubts, just ask Israel.

And the President’s right to point out that members of Congress themselves live behind such physical barriers…“They don’t build walls because they hate the people on the outside, but because they love the people on the inside.” (bold emphasis added)

How is it that American citizens don’t deserve similar protective measures?

Liberals heads are exploding over our earlier blog ridiculing Democrat demands for ‘equal airtime’ to respond after President Trump addresses the border security issue.

Some are taking up the official Democrat meme that there’s no national emergency.

What’s not a national emergency that entails over 130k illegals arrested annually for physical crimes? 4,000 homicides; 100,000 assault crimes; 30,000 sex crimes.

Did we mention…THEY’RE ILLEGAL?

How is that any different than an invading force that attacks a Nation, kills 4,000 of its citizens, rapes 30,000 of its citizens, and assaults 100,000 of its citizens?

The only difference is they aren’t in uniform.

National emergency? You bet.

“Pelosi: I Get the Sense Trump Would Like to ‘Abolish Congress’“

Fact is, time after time the President has pushed Congress to do its job.

The border-security issue is a great example.

If he really wanted to bypass Congress, he could have done that a long time ago. His efforts to date have all been toward pushing Congress to act so he wouldn’t have to.

Prepare for confusion.
