Puzzled? Don’t be.

The move to hold off for two weeks on deportation of illegal aliens is just one more play by this President that shows his respect for Congress…and his disgust with Congress.

Announcing deportations was an opening gambit; then delaying the act and putting the responsibility for its necessity squarely in Congress’s lap is…well…just brilliant strategy.

Congress made immigration laws with loopholes; they need to fix that. With deportation on the table, giving Congress two weeks to do their job throws it back where it belongs.

By his act President Trump displays respect for rule-of-law and separation of powers while, at the same time (ONE week before their July 4th break) giving them TWO weeks to solve the problem. Going back to their districts absent a solution is, then, on them.

Fixing the loopholes would take one day if Democrats in Congress wanted a fix. And that’s where the President’s respect for the process comes into play. But Mr. Trump knows his opponents, and – you guessed it – that’s why he has disgust for them.

Pres. Trump knows his opponents do not want to give him a ‘win’,..even if it means the Nation as a whole would benefit from their actions. And the Nation is watching…

…with the burden placed squarely where it belongs – on Congress.

Art-of-the-Deal is alive and well in the White House.

Once again, he’s played Democrats like a Stradivarius.

Some weak-knee Trump supporters may go wobbly over his move to hold off for two weeks on deportations: those who know his strategic long game are nodding heads.

When in doubt, remember…it’s just Trump BEING Trump.

Keep the faith; trust the man…enjoy the show.

For years, we’ve made the case slavery-reparation demands are illogical considering black Americans are among the world’s most well-off black demographic…

…especially compared to all the African nations.

An article at American Thinker makes that same case: “The legal theory behind reparations is that if a person had suffered an economic loss as a result of the action of another person, he would be able to seek a civil remedy.  Critical to this process is the measurement of the degree of economic loss the first person experienced.”

That said “If one were to contrast the economic advantage of a life lived by a native of Africa whose ancestors had not been taken in slavery with a black American whose ancestors had been taken in slavery, one might be inclined to conclude that there is no advantage to having remained in Africa.  In fact, one can make a case that such actions resulted in a benefit rather than a loss.” (bold, underline emphasis added)

Can anyone claim blacks living in America are worse off than if they still lived in Africa?

Reparation hearings in Congress were barely underway before Democrat crazies spoke of black children poverty percentages as a result driven by slavery issues of long ago.

Comparing percentages of white kids living in poverty vs 3-times as many black kids, without considering the single-parent percentages of each demographic, is a convenient dodge for Democrats…because that wouldn’t fit their reparations narrative, at all.

Truth is, black American single-parent families are almost 3-times the number of whites, percentage-wise. Hmmm…3-times as many black kids live in poverty, AND in single-parent homes. Any reasoning adult knows 2-parent incomes solve poverty issues.

Or, are Democrats blaming black single-family percentages on slavery?

How does that work?

House Democrats issuing subpoenas and demanding hearings, after 3 investigations have found no evidence of collusion, is in stark contrast to Hillary Clinton’s issues.

Democrats want Pres Trump’s hide because – even if he isn’t guilty of a crime, he is guilty of trying to stop being drawn-&-quartered for it – which makes no sense at all.

But, if they want to insist on do-over rights…Hillary’s felonious conduct is fair game.

Hillary lied to FBI investigators, mishandled classified information, erased thousands of emails (after subpoenas were issued demanding they be yielded)…yet was unindicted.

Felonious? You bet.

Why no indictment? They cited ‘intent’ – which wasn’t the standard but even more importantly, was actually present…by the very act of setting up her private server.

Do-over? Okay…here’s a do-over just BEGGING to be initiated.

Those who second-guess Pres Trump’s affinity to boldly allow a hostile press interview (latest w-Clintonista George Stephanopoulos) fail to understand Donald Trump…

…even (supposedly) the inestimable Rush Limbaugh.

Mr. Trump knows how to get people talking about issues, becuase he understands the extent his opposition is willing to go to bring him down…and uses that brilliantly.

Getting the conversation on his policies started without mainstream media is extremely difficult, but tweaking them by setting verbal landmines which, at first blush, appears to be a faux pas serves the purpose – and nobody does this better than Donald Trump.

Thus, the derisive (and strident) condemnation of comments on ‘maybe listening’ to foreign dirt against opponents opens the door to Trump-salvos and Tweets that turn the issues back on FakeNews and the historic purveyors of foreign collusion…Democrats.

This man is a master at strategic field-preparation, and they fall for it every time…

…even Rush Limbaugh. (???)

(Or, is this subterfuge by Rush, using the media hate against him to help FakeNews beclown themselves, boosting the rush to deride Trump by feigning consternation?)

Kyle Kashuv was accepted at Harvard…before he was rejected by Harvard.

See, the Left will do anything to undermine a pro-gun advocate, even mine through idiotic texts sent AS A KID in order to exact their retribution, and Harvard bit on it.

Whether Kyle still feels the same as he did when he was 16 is debatable, but the larger issue is as headlined: could the Harvard powers-that-be withstand similar scrutiny?

Somehow, we doubt it.

But, unlike the Left, we don’t have a driving hate that makes us go back that far.

Even if…no worries. (See, they’re not held to the same standard as the Right.)

An article from June 14th at The Federalist: “Mayor In His Hometown Proposes Grinding Thomas Jefferson’s Birthday Into The Dust” (He was a ‘slaver’ you see.)

But, as our headline suggests…why stop at Jefferson?

End the Party that perpetuated slavery, started the KKK, and created Jim Crow laws.

Yeah, you know, the ones hiding in plain sight…the Democrat Party.

Why tear down statues of the long-dead, when there are live remnants of evil available?

What more fitting way to end that sad chapter of American history?

(And, if that’s too harsh…why not at least bill THEM for the so-called ‘reparations’?)

Hmmm…

“Obama and Former Italian PM Renzi Are Holding Secret Meeting Today – Experts Including Papadopoulos Suspect Meeting Linked to Spygate Scandal”

Just when we thought illegal immigration issues can’t get worse: “Illegal Aliens From Ebola-Stricken Congo Pouring Across Southern Border Have ‘Rolls of $100 Bills'”

Is there a better reason for strong, controllable borders?

As reported at the Gateway Pundit: “Supreme Court Tosses Ruling Against Oregon Christian Bakers Who Refused Cake For Gay Couple”…and the Left is enraged?

The Supreme Court sent the case back to the lower court, referring to a decision they entered last year in favor of a Colorado baker, suggesting the same thing applies now.

Cue the ‘homophobic outrage’. But, the hypocrisy of such outrage is on clear display.

How is it the people can resent having some baker’s religious preference pushed on them, yet feel it’s perfectly okay to push their sexuality preference onto the baker?
