Circular logic of ankle-biters continues, apace…

If it weren’t so serious, it would be damn funny.

On the one hand, unhinged Lefties have to CREATE hate hoaxes in order to gen up continuous outrage against Pres Trump, while political leaders stir up their base.

Then, we have the never-Trump’er crowd of so-called Republicans, so anxious to tear the President down that they portray every move he makes as somehow a failure, with no ability to see by introspection they’re using circular logic to accomplish their goal.

Latest examples:

  1. Jonah Goldberg’s article that “Trump’s National-Emergency Declaration Is an Act of Weakness” which tries to make the case that not being able to get the Congress to do their job is his failure (as he’s forced to declare an emergency);
  2. David French’s article from the 15th that “Trump’s Emergency Declaration Is Contemptuous of the Rule of Law” which is self-explanatory, but false.

Unpack this – the President makes EVERY effort to get Congress to do their job, lays out in factual detail the drug problem, human trafficking problem, sex trafficking problem and nat’l security problem open borders PLAINLY create…and Congress won’t budge.

A normal person would recognize the grave dangers imposed by open borders, realize the need to build more effective barriers, and proceed accordingly – but not Congress.

And somehow, for never-Trump’ers, this is a failure on…Trump’s part?

For TWO years he tried to avoid executive action and asked Congress to step up.

If anyone showed strength of character and respect for rule-of-law…it’s Pres Trump.

And if anyone showed weakness and contempt for rule-of-law…it’s Congress.

It never ceases to amaze that those ham-stringing this President have the audacity to complain because the President isn’t cooperating with their ham-stringing efforts.

Enforce rule-of-law equally, or live with consequences

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?

Smollett race-hoax begs the question: will black Americans ever tire of being used?

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.)

Suing to stop what THEY legislatively authorized…yeah…sounds like Democrats

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.

Sorry, it won’t wash – If $$/influence w-Russia prompted Trump collusion probe, why wasn’t one started vs Hillary?

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.

Spending bill is disgraceful, inhumane, immoral…Pres. shouldn’t sign it

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.

Pssttt…Nancy…read up on the Constitution, ok?

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?
