Trump Is Leading on This Major,

Often-Overlooked Security Threat

by Michaela Dodge

{ dailysignal.com } ~ One of the most potentially devastating threats to American security is the threat of an electromagnetic pulse. Such an event could be life-changing and could ruin electronic devices in large sections of the country... Thankfully, the Trump administration is alert to this threat and is taking steps to confront it. Last week, the White House unveiled an executive order titled “Coordinating National Resilience to Electromagnetic Pulses.” This is a necessary first step in what will be a difficult road to creating full protection from an electromagnetic pulse. An electromagnetic pulse is a burst of electromagnetic energy. The potentially most devastating pulse would be caused by a nuclear weapon detonated at a high altitude, though the sun can also generate bursts of energy just as damaging during solar storms. An electromagnetic pulse or similar event would paralyze the country, since it would fry electric circuits and damage critical infrastructure. Our life now depends on a stable supply of electricity more than at any other point in our history. Suddenly losing electricity would be truly devastating—think Jericho or “The Walking Dead” (minus the zombies). This is not pie-in-the-sky business. North Korea’s ballistic missiles are now capable of reaching the United States. It also possesses nuclear weapons, and its official documents talk about using the electromagnetic pulse against the United States...

Democrats Introduce Bill to Abolish America

by Don Feder

{ barbwire.com } ~ Saying they’ve had it, Congressional Democrats introduced a bill to abolish America. “We’ve tried bankrupting the country with mega-deficits. We’ve tried swamping the lifeboat with open borders... Our allies in academia, Hollywood and the news media have indoctrinated millennials in anti-Americanism. We’re trying to give America the economy of Venezuela with the Green New Deal. We’re trying to change the ground rules by abolishing the Electoral College and court-packing schemes. But the process is taking too long – like a slow-acting poison.” “We need to be bold and lay our cards on the table:” Said House Babbler Nancy Pulosi. “America is hopelessly, homophobic, xenophobic, racist, sexist and every other “ist” and “ic” you can think of – a bastion of incorrigibles and deplorables .” “After the dirty cop-Muller Report, we can’t impeach the president, who appears to be headed for a second term. Our field of candidates resembles circus clowns getting out of a midget car. Justices who can read are being appointed to the Supreme Court. It’s hopeless. It’s time to call it quits.” “In place of The United States of America, we propose the Delusional States of commie-Bernie –One Nation under a Commie Codger, with censorship and servitude for all.”... Boy this people are sick and need to be told the true facts.

Things Go Downhill Quick When Tucker

Asks Mexican Official Why Mexico

Won't Keep Migrants

by Scott Morefield

{ dailycaller.com } ~ Things got awkward fast when Tucker Carlson asked a Mexican official why Central Americans migrating through Mexico shouldn’t be allowed to remain there... Speaking with Guanajuato Secretary of Migration Juan Hernandez on Wednesday night’s edition of “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” the Fox News host began by asking why Hernandez’s own words from the past wouldn’t constitute a “hostile act” against the United States.“I want to read three quotes from a Mexican government official, and these are direct quotes,” Carlson said. “‘We are betting Mexican-Americans will think ‘Mexico first,’ even unto the seventh generation. Mexican immigrants to the United States are going to keep one foot in Mexico. They are not going to assimilate in the sense of not being Mexican,’ and final quote, ‘We recognize the Mexican population is 100 million in Mexico and 23 million who live in the United States. We are a united nation.'” “Those quotes are from you,” Carlson told Hernandez. “And I wonder if a government takes that position, that it’s sending foreign nationals to your country. That is a hostile act. So why are we sending money to a country committing hostile acts against us?” “No, it’s not, my friend, no, no it’s not a hostile act at all,” Hernandez said before stating that the quote was from “about 15 years ago.”... https://dailycaller.com/2019/04/03/tucker-carlson-juan-hernandez-mexico-immigration/

Lindsey Burke, Mary Clare Amselem:

Trump’s education budget cuts justified

by Lindsey M. Burke and Mary Clare Amselem

{foxnews.com} ~ Since 1965, federal taxpayers have poured an estimated $2 trillion into education programs associated with President Lyndon Johnson’s War on Poverty... But despite this staggering expenditure – which represents just a fraction of combined federal, state and local K-12 spending – education attainment gaps between upper-income students and their less-affluent peers remain as wide as ever. For example, new research shows that toward the beginning of the War on Poverty, 14-year-old students from the poorest families were three to four years behind those from more affluent families. But unfortunately, researchers concluded that current efforts rooted in federal programs and spending have not reduced this socioeconomic gap in education achievement. The study was conducted by Paul Peterson of Harvard University, Ludger Woessmann of the University of Munich, and Eric Hanushek and Laura Talpey of Stanford University. After $2 trillion and nothing to show for it, one starts to question the wisdom of throwing good money after bad. Enter the federal budget proposed by President Trump in March. It would cut the Department of Education’s budget by $7.1 billion – a 10% reduction from 2019 spending...

Mr. President, Disregard Judge's

Oil-Drilling Ruling

by Brent Smith

{ wnd.com } ~ The radical environmental lobby recently got a shot in the arm by means of a judge’s ruling. Last Friday, U.S. District Court Judge Sharon Gleason, an scumbag/liar-nObama appointee... slapped down President Trump’s move to open up the Chukchi Sea in the Arctic, north of the Bering Strait, as well as other places, in the Atlantic, for oil and gas drilling. CNBC wrote, “The judge ruled that Trump exceeded his authority when he reversed scumbag/liar-nObama-era restrictions on offshore drilling in the Arctic and Atlantic oceans.” Well, not to mince words or anything, but it sounds like CNBC wrote this to imply to its readers that these scumbag/liar-nObama-era restrictions were actual laws passed by Congress. If there’s any doubt, they continued, writing, “Judge Sharon Gleason in a decision late Friday threw out Trump’s executive order that overturned the bans that comprised a key part of scumbag/liar-nObama’s environmental legacy.” Time after time CNBC had the opportunity to elucidate, but did not. The reporter described the actions by scumbag/liar-nObama as “scumbag/liar-nObama-era restrictions” and “withdrawals,” when they were in fact just executive orders, the same as Trump’s... https://www.wnd.com/2019/04/trump-must-assert-his-executive-order-authority/

Identification Over Qualification

Michael Swartz: It’s been nearly 15 years since Democrats last nominated a white male for president. Since then, the party’s leadership has continuously pandered to the multitude of special-interest groups that revolve in its orbit, and the fledgling 2020 presidential campaign continues as Exhibit A: practically all of the traditional Democrat subgroups (except for the ever-shrinking “Blue Dog” contingent) have a candidate or two in the race — and if not, well, we’re still a couple months away from the first debate.

In a rare moment of Democrat candor, 2018 Georgia gubernatorial loser Stacey Abrams, who vehemently shot down any talk of being a running mate for loose lips-Joe Biden in order to balance out the white-maleness at the top of that ticket, declared to scumbag-Al Sharpton’s National Action Network earlier this week, “I lean in to identity politics. I believe in identity politics. And I believe identity politics are the politics that win.”

Abrams hasn’t closed the door on fighting against socialist-Beto O'Rourke for the votes representing the “recent high-profile statewide race losers” interest group in the 2020 Democrat White House race. But she’s considered more of a longer-term presidential prospect after a possible Senate run next year or a 2022 rematch with Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp. In her remarks before Sharpton’s group, Abrams also remained defiant about her 2018 electoral loss:

“Despite the final tally and the inauguration and the situation we find ourselves in,” said Abrams, “I do have a very affirmative statement to make: We won.” She continued her claim that Republicans “stole [the election] from the voters of Georgia.” This despite her losing by nearly 55,000 votes, not an insignificant number.

At this point, all that Pyrrhic victory has given her is a speaking slot before scumbag-Sharpton’s race-baiting group, but what she’s really trying to win is the sympathy of white leftists, many of whom see her as a victim of The Man. (Not necessarily Brian Kemp, who happens to be male, but The Man.) And there’s a great deal of conventional wisdom that plays into what Abrams said. The Resurgent’s Merrie Soltis recently pointed to an analysis by pollster Frank Luntz on whether the 2020 Democrat nominee should try to appeal to the whites who switched from Barack scumbag/liar-nObama in 2012 to Trump in 2016, or try to woo back the black voters who didn’t come out for scumbag/liar-Hillary in 2016.

For decades, Democrats relied on their appeal to those and many others. In some cases, it’s worked. But while Abrams espouses her belief in identity politics — and had the bonafides to cater to several such groups as this 2017 profile illustrates — she didn’t attract quite enough “identity” votes to turn Georgia blue.

There’s a reason that E Pluribus Unum — “out of many, one” — stood as our national motto from 1782 to 1956. It’s because these 13 letters represented the coming together of 13 distinct and diverse colonies for the collective good of a single new nation.

Our Founders’ willingness to find common ground thus stands in stark contrast to the toxic and divisive approach of today’s Democrat Party. ~The Patriot Post
