GOP to Dems: Enough Obstruction
On Wednesday, Democrat obstructionists in the Senate started right where they left off on Tuesday, when they boycotted nominees Tom Price and Steven Mnuchin, leaving them in limbo. They tried the same stunt again, only this time they snubbed EPA nominee Scott Pruitt too. They even used the same excuses by claiming to be stuck in an ethical quandary. Sen. Tom Carper stated, "If Scott Pruitt is serious about serving as our next EPA Administrator, he should be more than willing to provide [Democrats] complete answers." Nice try, but this faux reasoning has nothing to do with the boycotts. As we've stated, these shenanigans are ultimately about derailing the GOP's momentum.
Therefore, Republicans were left with little choice but to take action. According to The Hill, "The Senate Finance Committee advanced a pair of Trump's nominees with only Republican members present — Steven Mnuchin to head the Treasury Department, and Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga.) as secretary of Health and Human Services. By unanimous consent, the Republicans gathered in the hearing room agreed to change the committee's standing rules, which normally require at least one member of each party to be in attendance for committee work to proceed." It only stands to reason that other committees, like the one tasked with approving Pruitt, will be forced to do the same thing.
Meanwhile, there was additional progress elsewhere. Despite Democrats' best efforts to sabotage and delay his vote, The Hill also reports that "[a] Senate committee voted to confirm Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) to be attorney general on Wednesday, two days after the growing controversy surrounding President Trump's travel ban on seven Muslim nations led to the firing of an acting attorney general for insubordination. The Senate Judiciary Committee approved Sessions 11-9 along party lines. His nomination now goes to the floor, where he is widely expected to be confirmed given the GOP's 52-seat majority." Imagine that — a group of Democrats that decided boycotting wasn't the answer.

Mike Ditka Unloads On “Journalists”
Pressuring Brady To Betray Trump
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ Coach Mike Ditka is not politically correct in his thinking. He’s not always able to express his thought the way he would like to, but on Thursday he was in a free-speech zone, on the Bernie and Sid Show on (77WABC Radio)... He addressed the leftist establishment media types who are serving their globalist masters, working Tom Brady over real good for his friendship with President Trump. They want him to renounce him, something Brady has refused to do. Ditka is asked, “What do you make, Iron Mike, Coach Ditka, of this crusade on the part of some sports ‘journalists’ to get Tom Brady to denounce his friend Donald Trump? Ditka replies, “Well, I think these people are, can I say this, that they’re assholes?” He says, “Yeah, well you don’t have a choice anymore in our country and if people disagree with my choice – fine.” If he disagrees with their choice that should be fine as well, that’s what made America great...

There’s Nothing New About Fake News
by Joseph Bottum
{freebeacon.com} ~ You’ve seen or heard the famous passage from Edmund Burke, of course. How could you not? “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing”—and what a line it is... So balanced and Burkean. So pithy and wise. So applicable to any moment when people on our side (obviously the good guys) seem divided and ambivalent while folk on the other side (a.k.a. the bad guys) pursue their nefarious schemes unhindered. The line is so good, it seems almost petty to point out that Edmund Burke never actually said it. For nearly twenty years, the Weekly Standard editor Richard Starr has been fighting the lonely battle to teach us that Burke didn’t say “The only thing necessary, etc.” For that matter, William Safire spent the prior twenty years insisting that the line was misattributed. And you can measure their success by the fact that Don Willett—the all-time social-media champion, among Texas Supreme Court justices—used the anniversary of Burke’s birth this January to tweet to his thousands of followers “The only thing necessary for the triumph . . . ” and so on... http://freebeacon.com/culture/theres-nothing-new-fake-news/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=8f1113302e-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_02_03&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-8f1113302e-45611665

Libtard Judge Sides With Terrorists
To Halt Travel Ban – Usurps President Trump
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ A state that is possibly more screwed up than California, Washington, is the source of the latest assault against the rights of the American people to live our lives as we choose without the fear of Islamic terrorism and it’s facilitators intruding... Washington has chosen to oppose the American people and to assist in the invasion of our nation and the creation of a caliphate in North America. A corrupt judge, clearly a political tool of the global establishment and the assault on the American people, has ruled that foreigners have a right to come to the United States as they choose, and if there is a terrorist risk, so be it, that’s life and death in America. Seattle and Washington State in general are certainly distinguishing themselves as worthy locations for the next terror attack. They’re begging for it and they richly deserve to feel the consequences of their reckless actions that are putting the rest of the nation at risk. There should be repercussions to aiding and abetting the enemy, terrorists and their supporters. Maybe they’re just trying to spread the risk to the rest of us... http://rickwells.us/libtard-judge-sides-terrorists-halt-travel-ban-usurps-president-trump/

Belgian judge blocks extradition and
releases terrorist affiliate

Pro-ISIS Belgian Muslims protesting
{gatestone.eu} ~ Belgian Secretary of State for Immigration Theo Francken announced today on his private weblog he will engage in legal action against the Court of Liège’s decision on Friday, ruling a suspected terrorist must be released... “I will appeal as a private citizen against this incomprehensible court order to release this dangerous, illegal Algerian a few hours before his repatriation, which voids months of hard work. I will do all in my power to win, so I can extradite him. Of course, it won’t be obvious that we’ll be able to find him…” Arrested on 5 December 2016 in Verviers, a small town in Eastern Belgium, near the German border, for staying in Belgium without valid papers, Algerian Mohamed B. is a person of interest for Belgian Intelligence because of his marriage. His wife, convert to Islam Rosliana G., nicknamed Oum Uthmaan, lives in the Netherlands and was the first female Jihad recruiter arrested in Belgium three years ago... https://gatestone.eu/belgians-know-best/

Carlson, Bruce – US Left Has Been Handing
Out Visas Like Candy To Recruit Dems
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ Tammy Bruce joins Tucker Carlson for a discussion of how President Trump’s executive order banning makes us safer, a critical point in view of the fact that a liberal agitator federal judge just placed a stay upon it... She says, “Obviously there’s a reason for the order on those nations. It was failed nation states and then two nation states that are state sponsors of terror, Sudan and Iran. These are nations as a result, all seven of them, where there’s no real infrastructural way to tell who it is that we’re allowing into the country, first of all. And then you’ve got, of course, these are the nations that are consumed with civil war, with terrorism, where terrorist groups have the majority of the land mass.” "In addition,” says Bruce, “that ISIS, through the three cities that it’s taken, Mosul and Raqqa and other areas in Libya, have what’s called a fake passport industry. They have tens of thousands of blank passports in addition to state-based machinery to make identification papers...

Count this refugee in favor of
Trump's immigration protections
by Tom Nowak
{jewishworldreview.com} ~ In November 1985 I arrived in New York as a refugee. My family's refugee status and permission to come to the U.S. had been denied once before. I missed seeing the Statute of Liberty out of my plane window because it was night time and I was 6 years old and not sure what to look for.
However, we were stopped on our way to Dallas. We spent the better part of the next day proving that our paperwork and affairs were in order, including getting another round of shots, before we were allowed to go on to Texas. I met my father for the first time that night.
From that time, until I was in college, I was a permanent resident. However slim, there was always a chance that if I left the country, I would not be allowed back in, if things in the world changed; we always knew of the risk but didn't think it important enough at the time.
I didn't get around to becoming a citizen as a teenager because I was more interested in football and girls than standing in line at the INS offices.
It was time to become a citizen when I knew my future career was in the law. Citizenship was my first oath to defend the Constitution. I became a lawyer with the second oath. A prosecutor with the third. And when I joined the Air Force, the fourth. When I was promoted, the fifth.
I have seen people denied visas of all types based on silly things and bad employees of the State Department. I have had to wait while my bags were searched when coming home as though I was a threat or a smuggler. I know of friends and family who have been denied admittance. And, yes, I know of permanent residents who were turned away before stepping on U.S. soil due to bureaucratic screw-ups.
Is it hard sometimes to be from somewhere else? Nope. I'm happy to be different. What's more, I'm willing to subject myself to all of these tests and reaffirm my oaths to protect this country, my home. Just ask.
The recent uninformed outrage is merely a byproduct of sour grapes. The people complaining today have been silent through decades and even centuries about these types of actions taking place every day, but they suddenly find their voice in 2017. People are denied entry every day.
Protesting today is on par with the mannequin challenge, a social media version to see who's cool. The fact that you are outraged that someone campaigned, won and is following through on the things promised to his electorate is humorous and sad at the same time.
The fact that our government wants to take a few months to come up with a better way to make sure the people coming here love our country as much as I do is fine by me. If it causes some discomfort for those wishing to join us, then so be it. Our country is worth protecting.
Good for President Donald Trump for believing in his oath as much as I do.
I truly pray G0D blesses all Americans tonight, even more than he already has, and may G0D bless those that will soon be joining us as Americans on their journey.
