Knew It!
Black Liars Matter
Who Knows
Maybe I’ve been to harsh on the Trumpster….maybe not….I don’t really know. The spending bill is only good through September, Trump forced congress to do their jobs, they did not. He goes the “emergency” route with the knowledge that he gave congress every opportunity to give him what he wanted and they failed.
Now if it was me, I would rob and steal from every pet project the Democrats covet for as many billions as I could get my hands on and build the wall from the Pacific to the Gulf. The “emergency” monies are not tied to the spending bill, fuck ’em and feed ’em fish eggs.
A stroke of genius or he’s settling for the best he can get….who knows.

We Can Destroy and Rebuild Entire Countries…….
……but we can’t protect our own border, something has got to change.
Curiously, however, unlike in the 1880s, the lands being colonized in this new Scramble are richer, technologically superior, and militarily stronger than those doing the colonizing. In other words, there isn’t anything inevitable about the Scramble for America. It’s well within our capabilities to defend our homeland.
As evidence, a few self-confident countries, such as Israel and Hungary, have virtually eliminated illegal immigration through simple expedients such as border barriers. Israeli prime minister Bibi Netanyahu, for instance, routinely tweets out photographs of the ferocious fences and walls Israel has quickly erected in recent years.
But much of the rest of the First World is paralyzed by the widespread assumption that its peoples don’t deserve to protect themselves from being colonized. For example, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi recently proclaimed, “The fact is, a wall is an immorality. It’s not who we are as a nation.”
Who we are, evidently, are the people who aren’t here yet. keep reading……

I will NEVER sign another spending bill like this.
Continuation of the Shit Show
The “Border Budget Deal” is a piece of shit, if POTUS signs it, it is proof he does not have anyone in his administration giving him solid advice. Sundance and the Daily Caller highlight the “land mines” Trump was worried about.
I hope Trump has something up his sleeve, if not, this was all kabuki theater and a waste of time, anxiety, and money. NEVER trust the uni-party.
From Sundance:
WARNING: This is a bad deal, but it reflects the UniParty reality within congress. Take a deep breath; don’t lash out. Remember, there are very few MAGA minded representatives. This was negotiated by two wings of the same corporate bird and both want open borders. keep reading…
From The Daily Caller:
Krikorian urged Trump not to sign the provision, saying that it was one of the “land mines” the president had feared. Instead, he advocated for a short-term continuing resolution while the administration is able to carefully review the current legislation.
“He should make clear he will veto it in this form,” he declared.
Homan similarly warned that the expanded protections will encourage child smuggling from Central America, saying it is “condoning the trafficking of children.” He said he is absolutely certain that if this bill passes a corresponding increase in unaccompanied migrant children at the border will be seen.
National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd said the provision incentives law-breaking, stating, “One of, if not the biggest magnet [for illegal immigration], are the loopholes that allow violators of our immigration laws to escape consequences.” keep reading….
Just Another Brick In The Wall
My apologies to Roger Waters for stealing his verse, even though he’s a raving liberal from England who should shut his pie hole about American politics, but I digress.
The lie about the border wall is that we have 700 miles already built, well OK, but it’s the type of fencing that’s misleading about the claim. There are altogether about 650 miles of fencing along the southern border: 352 miles of primary fencing, 36 miles of secondary fencing and 299 miles of vehicle barrier fencing.
- Primary or pedestrian fencing. (pictured below) This type of fencing is considered “front-line” fencing and it focuses on preventing individuals on foot from crossing the border. Several different styles of primary or pedestrian fencing line the border, including wire-mesh, bollard and landing mat. There are 352.8 miles of primary or pedestrian fencing.
- Secondary fencing. (pictured below) This is a second layer of fencing that sits behind a layer of primary or pedestrian fencing. There are 36 miles of secondary fencing located in various regions of Arizona, Texas and California.
- Vehicle barrier fencing. (pictured below) This type of fencing focuses on preventing vehicle crossings. According to Ron Johnson’s report, “vehicle barrier fence consists of barriers used primarily in remote areas to prohibit vehicles engaged in drug trafficking and human smuggling operations to cross the border. These fences can be easily navigated by those on foot. There are 299.8 miles of vehicle barrier fencing.
There are 2000 miles along the border with Mexico, congress approved 50 billion for fence construction in 2006, of which 2.3 billion has been spent. Obama’s Homeland Security shut down any further appropriations in 2010.
If I have this correct, only 388 miles of “effective” barrier has been erected, this excludes the vehicle barrier fencing which does nothing to stop foot traffic.
The remaining 1350 miles of border security? How does that $1.3 billion sound now?
Finding Utopia
Where Is RBG?
I’m not quite sure what’s going on, how can a Supreme Court Justice disappear with no photo’s or interviews for two months?
If you remember Republicans refused to let Obama have his SCOTUS pick because it was an election year, if Ginsburg is in fact debilitated and can’t function as a justice, Trump needs to know and get a replacement named and hearings started immediately. If it goes into next year I can see Democrats doing what the Republicans did in 2015.
This seems like kind of a big deal, not so much “if” Trump wins in 2020…..but if he doesn’t. The Supreme Court may be conservatives last hope if the radical left take control of all three branches, which I think is very possible due to the rampant and obvious voter fraud in the mid-terms last year. It will only be worse in 2020.
Let’s Make A Deal
