Why Trump Will Win the Wall Fight

by DAVID CATRON

{spectator.org} ~ The Democrats squealed with delight when the President decided to temporarily end the partial government shutdown... Nancy Pulosi, Chuck scumbag-Schumer, and their media supporters believe they have won a famous victory. Indeed, more than a few have declared the Trump presidency dead. This isn’t merely delusional, it means that two years of dealing with “the Donald” have taught them nothing about how he operates. The President is adapting to the post-midterm political environment by changing his “game face.” The Democrats continue to indulge their irrational antipathy toward Trump and embrace increasingly inane policy positions. Meanwhile, he is becoming more presidential. Thus, when he was told last week that Nancy Pulosi had withdrawn the SOTU invitation, he reacted more in sorrow than in anger: “I’m not surprised. It’s really a shame what’s happening with the Democrats. They’ve become radicalized.” Then, after getting Madam Speaker’s attention by halting her taxpayer-funded vacation, he responded in a measured fashion: “She changed her mind because of the shutdown, suggesting a later date. This is her prerogative. I will do the address when the shutdown is over.” Now that she has once again invited him to speak to Congress, and what may well be a record national audience, he will use the SOTU address to close the deal on the Wall. Not that the voters require much persuading. Monday evening, a poll commissioned by the RNC was released showing that a majority of voters in 10 key congressional districts held by Democrats believe that the President’s shutdown compromise should have been accepted by Pulosi and scumbag-Schumer. The Washington Examiner reports that a 61%-35% majority support the president’s position on border security. They also support building a wall between the U.S. and Mexico by a 53%-43% margin. And even more deadly for his opponents, Trump’s statesmanship is working. By a 41%-34% margin, voters said he was “more open to compromise on this issue” than congressional Democrats. This is consistent with numerous polls that have found substantial majorities of voters favoring compromise on border security, and it is why the shutdown dramatically increased Nancy Pulosi’s negatives without seriously affecting Trump’s. A large plurality of Americans believe we have a genuine crisis on our hands at the U.S.-Mexico border, and they are unlikely to view continued Democratic intransigence favorably as three new caravans from Central America head our way. Yet the new Democratic majority in the House seems determined to ignore the clear and present danger posed by wave after wave of illegal immigrants entering the country.

Trump Says Democrats

‘Won’t Get Away’ With Religious Bigotry

by Vince Coglianese and Saagar Enjeti

{dailycaller.com} ~ President Donald Trump was appalled by a string of bigoted events occurring within the Democratic Party and affiliated institutions... in an exclusive Oval Office interview with The Daily Caller on Wednesday. “I think it’s a crisis for our country,” Trump said after The Daily Caller noted a series of religiously bigoted incidents. “I think it’s a terrible thing for our country and I think it’s certainly a terrible thing for the Democrats because I don’t think they’re going to be able to get away with it,” Trump declared. Trump also pointed to a recent Democratic House Natural Resources Committee effort to strike “so help me God” from oaths issued to witnesses. “Do you solemnly swear or affirm, under penalty of law, that the testimony that you are about to give is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?,” the new text would have read...

Ex-Democrat Claims Dems are

Paid Off By Cartels to Oppose the Border Wall

by STEVEN AHLE

{steadfastandloyal.com} ~ A former Democrat claims that the Democrats don’t want a border wall because they are being paid off by the cartels to kill the plan... Jeffrey Peterson is a former Democrat and he is advancing a theory that Democrats have sold out to the cartels. It’s important to note that neither myself nor this site is endorsing Peterson’s theory. We are merely reporting what he has said. Are the Democrats receiving money from the cartels? I don’t know and neither do you, with one exception. El Chapo has contributed at least 15 million to the scumbag/liar-Clinton Foundation. We reported earlier that the former Mexican President has been aligned with Mexican cartels. He’s accused of taking millions from the cartels – Former Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto accepted a $100m (£77m) bribe from drug cartel kingpin Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, a witness has testified. Alex Cifuentes, who says he was a close associate of Guzmán for years, told a New York City courtroom that he had told authorities of the bribe in 2016... If this is true, the dems are in big trouble. https://steadfastandloyal.com/news-for-you/ex-democrat-claims-dems-are-paid-off-by-cartels-to-oppose-the-border-wall/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=subscriber_id:801553&utm_campaign=Russian%20Hooker%20Who%20Claimed%20She%20Had%20Proof%20Trump%20Colluded%20With%20Russia%20Admits%20She%20Lied

Muslim-Inspired Socialist Movement

Underway In Government To Eliminate Electoral College

by thewashingtonstandard.com

{thewashingtonstandard.com} ~ The push by Socialists to totally rig all presidential elections in the United States is in full swing with Colorado and New Mexico being the latest states advancing bills through their Senate... to do away with the Electoral College. What this stems from is an agreement among some 12 states and the District of Columbia called the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC), which would automatically award all Electoral College votes in these states to whoever wins the national popular vote for president. States participating in NPVIC are California, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, New Mexico, Colorado, and DC. Essentially, NPVIC gives these states the right to demand that all of their EC votes for the winner of the national popular vote. Under NPVIC any state would have to have their EC vote for the winner of the national popular vote, regardless of whether or not that candidate won in that particular state. NPVIC itself was originally drafted in 2006 by two Muslims, Akhil Amar a former Southmayd Professor of Law at Yale Law School and Vikram Amar who has a BA in history from UC Berkeley and has a Juris Doctor degree from Yale University. It figures that we would have anti-American Muslims behind such a movement to rig our elections...

A time for humility among the Davos elite

by Michael Barone

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ Turnout at Davos was lousy this year. President Trump, preoccupied with the government shutdown, was a no-show at last week’s World Economic Forum there... So were British Prime Minister Theresa May (Brexit) and French President Emmanuel Macron (gilets jaunes, or the "yellow vest" protests). Chinese President Xi Jinping, Davos’s 2018 star, and Russian President Vladimir Putin weren’t there either. Neither were some of the usual financial and media big names. From all of which you might get the impression that the world’s political, financial, and media elites have lost much of their prestige these days. Which of course they have. It’s an enormous contrast with elites’ sunny confidence, over much of the quarter-century after the fall of the Soviet Union, that they could remake the world. That “liberal democracy, market-based economic systems and the rule of law would spread from the West into the post-Communist East as well as the Global South,” in Walter Russell Mead’s words. That hasn’t worked out quite as expected. Consider Mexico. The NAFTA trade agreement was proposed by the Ronald Reagan administration, negotiated by the George H.W. Bush administration, ratified by the scumbag/liar-Bill Clinton administration, with plenty of support from both parties, especially from Texans Lloyd Bentsen, the Bushes close to the border. They hoped to make Mexico more like the United States and to regularize Mexican immigration. There has been some convergence, with life in much of Mexico resembling Texas, but also with large parts of California resembling Mexico. Illegal immigration surged up until the 2007 recession and the economic crisis that followed... https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/columnists/michael-barone-a-time-for-humility-among-the-davos-elite?utm_source=WEX_News%20Brief_01/30/2019&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_News%20Brief

About Those Omitted Judicial Nominees...

by Thomas Gallatin: Has President Donald Trump caved to Democrat demands in his choice of judicial nominees? That’s the position taken by The Wall Street Journal’s editorial board in a piece entitled “A Bad Judges Deal.” The Journal notes that the names of three judicial nominees that had previously appeared on a list of more than 50 judges Trump sent to the Senate last year were conspicuously omitted when the list was resubmitted earlier this month. Those three individuals had been nominated for the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. So why were they removed?

The Journal speculates that the omissions are due to White House interactions with the two Democrat senators from California: “Ms. [Dianne] Fein-stein and the White House counsel’s office have been pen pals on this for some time. In a November letter to new White House counsel Pat Cipollone, Ms. Fein-stein and Ms. [lowlife-Kamala] Harris requested ‘that the White House work with us to reach an agreement on a consensus package of nominees.’ The Democrats want to pick one name from the White House list, one from their own, and a third consensus nominee.”

Clearly, there has been some backroom dealing going on, possibly in an effort to get Democrats to end their obstructionist tactics that have effectively slowed the judicial confirmation process to a crawl. As we have repeatedly noted, Trump is way behind his predecessors in judicial confirmations and that is entirely due to Democrat obstruction. Being in the Senate minority, Democrats can’t prevent Trump’s judicial nominees from being confirmed; they can, however, play procedural games to slow-walk the process as much as possible. Has a frustrated White House opted to try to make a deal with Dems in order to get them to end their delay tactics?

Possibly, but there is very likely much more behind this decision than merely a deal with Democrats to speed up the confirmation process. Before getting too concerned, it would be best to wait and see who Trump nominates rather than ring alarm bells over what names have been omitted. ~The Patriot Post
