Trump announces Plan B...

Since Pelosi and Schumer seem hellbent on unsecured borders and endlessly holding up government employees' pay with their Pravda-like media painting Trump as the cause of it all, the President turns to Plan B...
TRS: Trump announced an end to the government shutdown that will only last until February 15.

It will allow government workers to get paid AND will allow Congress time to fund the border wall.

But if they don’t get him a fair deal on the border wall, Trump says the government will shutdown again:
As you can see, Trump suggests the emergency option as well as another government shutdown. I think that’s because he wants to wait and see the political climate in three weeks.

But my expectation is if the Congress doesn’t give him a fair deal on the wall, he’ll shut the government down again. After having gone through this once, I don’t think anyone will want to go through it again, which means the pressure will be mounting quite heavily as we get closer to February 15th. And Trump will likely continue to hold that over the head of Democrats to use as leverage.

As I said in the comments, I think it’s a good strategy and I think it’s potentially a winning strategy.
My theory:

Trump reopens the government temporarily and tells Democrats that we’re gonna be right back here in another government shutdown in a few weeks if they don’t fund the border wall. I don’t expect a National Emergency order yet.
Pelosi's already basking in the glow of her media sycophants, as are neo-cons raving about Trump caving, but there is strategy here, folks, that plays out in just a few short weeks. Hang tight.

Levin on the radical authoritarianism of Pelosi and the sycophantic yellow press

"For all their talk against Vladimir Putin, they are collectively Vladimir Putin."
Spot on daily...

...it is the House that is responsible for appropriating funds, not President Trump. Therefore, it is the Democrats in the House who are responsible for keeping the government shut down.

“Nancy Pelosi effectively controls the appropriation process in the House of Representatives. It falls to the House. She rules the House like Kim Jong Un,” Levin started.

“So she controls whether or not the government will be funded fully. She controls whether or not we’ll get a measly 5.7 billion dollars to build barriers, among other things, in some of these gap areas on the … border. So she’s blocking the spending. She’s blocking the wall. She is blocking everything.”

[Mark] lit into the American media for their lack of standards and the blurred line between fact and opinion rampant in journalism today.

“Freedom of speech and freedom of the press go hand in hand. And when you have almost a monopolistic, pack mentality — groupthink — in the mass media and the major media, it undermines a republic. Look at it as free speech: If speech pretty much only went one way, you wouldn’t have a free society, now would you?” Levin said.

Levin pointed out that unlike lawyers, doctors, or other professionals, journalists are not held to rules of professional conduct.

“They’re the ones destroying freedom of the press. The mass media are committed, in this country, to sabotaging this presidency, and that undermines this republic. I’m not talking about tough, aggressive reporting, I’m talking about advocacy. ... And so you have the BuzzFeed situation. You have the Covington situation. You have the Kavanaugh situation. You have endless false reporting about the president and Russia; about his children and Russia. And so they issue their apologies and their corrections — if they issue their apologies and corrections — and they move on.”

“These people will self-servingly tell you that ‘we can still be objective.’ But as they say, the proof is in the pudding, and they’re not. ... And so we get what we get, and in my view, we’re back to yellow journalism.”

Put another way, as Levin finalized:
"The fourth estate (the media) has become the fifth column, undermining the country from within. That, in a thumbnail sketch, is what's taking place in the country."
[Mark] tore into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., for disinviting President Trump from giving a State of the Union address in Congress during the government shutdown.

“Nancy Pelosi has hijacked the federal government; that’s why part of it is closed. She has unilaterally decided that our borders will be open, and now she has undermined this tradition of a president speaking before both Houses of Congress,” Levin said.

“The speaker of the House is an American fascist.”
CR: Although Pelosi was elected as one of 435 members of the House, representing only San Francisco, she climbed her way to the top of leadership only to hijack the government appropriations process and shut down part of the government; block the president from delivering the State of the Union address in the House for the first time ever; and obstruct border security to protect the American citizenry and immigrants alike and uphold national sovereignty. It is Pelosi, not Trump, who is the authoritarian.

'Angel Moms' challenge Pelosi, Schumer, Dem opposition to border security

Meet the faces of those whose families have been impacted by the utter lawlessness propagated on Capitol Hill by leftist Democrats, and crony capitalist Republicans alike, because those voices in highest opposition, namely Schumer and Pelosi, won't! And let me go ahead and preface this by stating what will be the obvious: these are legal immigrant mothers speaking out!
FNin: A mother whose son was killed by an illegal immigrant challenged top Democrats Monday on Fox News @ Night over their opposition to fund a border wall.

Sabine Durden's son, Dominic, was killed in 2012 when a truck slammed into his motorcycle. The truck’s driver, Juan Zacarias Tzun, was an illegal immigrant with two felonies and two DUIs.

"Meet me face to face. Give me five minutes," she asked of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. "I just want to, mother-to-mother, look you in the eyes and ask you if you want to feel this way."

Durden said that the "crisis" at the country's southern border is not manufactured, the claim of many Democrats opposed to funding a wall.
"I'm tired of being insulted and re-victimized by politicians who don't speak up for us," she said. "They speak up for illegals, for law-breakers."

She also criticized the "absolute insanity" of those who believe a border wall would make America less safe...


As an aside, so CATO's point is to continue compounding our nation's crime with illegal immigration?! Obfuscation and distraction from the issue at hand that we can absolutely prevent with enforcement and the rule of law!

Angel Mom Sabine Durden: I Would ‘Bring my Son’s Ashes’ for ‘Show and Tell’

Angel Moms attempted to speak on behalf of their lost loved ones to Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who flagrantly offered a mere dollar towards border security efforts. Unfortunately, Nance couldn't be bother or even fake acknowledge their loved ones. Disgraceful.
BB: Angel Moms described the moment they confronted Pelosi’s congressional staff and tried to meet with her over her opposition to stopping illegal immigration.



Sabine Durden, who lost her son Dominic when he was murdered by an illegal alien, said Pelosi’s ignoring the American victims of illegal alien crime was nothing short of “hurtful.”

“The doors stayed closed, we got this bored look from her receptionist,” Durden described of the protest. “We just knew that she was somewhere in there and they just didn’t want to give us the time of day. We didn’t want to have a long meeting and at least have her acknowledge us, but nothing. Nothing, none of that.”

“It’s so disrespectful, it’s unbelievably hurtful, and you feel re-victimized by her because of her flippant statements and acting like this is not a serious problem,” Durden said.

By midweek, an Angel Mom spoke up when Chuck Schumer had the audacity to mock the moms' plight by carting out enlarged photos of furloughed federal workers, that he and Pelosi have put in such a state by the way, because THEY have shutdown the government in opposition to border security and lawful immigration enforcement! You can guess which effort the lib media covered...
BB: “Angel Mom” Agnes Gibboney blasted Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Wednesday for a media event earlier in the day in which he and fellow Senate Democrats appeared before press cameras on Capitol Hill with large photographs of furloughed federal workers.
Gibboney and fellow “Angel Families” had visited Capitol Hill the day before, carrying similar photos of loved ones who had been killed by illegal aliens.

They had attempted to speak with Schumer and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-NY) — but as members of the group told Breitbart News, neither Democrat leader would speak with them.
Appearing on a Facebook Live video Wednesday afternoon, Gibboney — herself a legal immigrant — declared that she was “frustrated” that Democrats “bring attention to those missing a paycheck” but not “those missing a loved one.”

“How about the many stories about those of us that have been hurt by illegal aliens. … Is a paycheck more important than a life?” she asked.

“Schumer wants the president to see the faces of those affected by the shutdown. Oh, my God. … When have Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi looked at our faces? … Never.”
And the corporatists are right their alongside their Democratic colleagues. Angel Moms have taken note as well...
BB: Angel Mom Agnes Gibboney is blasting the hypocrisy of U.S. corporations who have vowed to help furloughed federal workers during the government shutdown, saying she “never” received an ounce of help when her son was murdered by an illegal alien.

Banks, wireless phone companies, and restaurants have set up hotlines where furloughed federal workers can call and receive help during the government shutdown as House and Senate Democrats refuse to fund a border wall to stop illegal immigration.

Gibboney — whose 29-year-old son Ronald Da Silva was killed by an illegal alien in 2002 in El Monte, California — says that help from corporate America was never extended to her when she lost her sons.

“Never, never,” Gibboney said when asked if any businesses had stepped in to help her pay for her son’s funeral services. “In fact, it was all a business. Buy a casket, make the funeral arrangements, and if you want to be present for the opening and the closing of the ground, they charge you $350.”

“Everything was charged,” Gibboney said. I was given nothing.”



Gibboney also slammed Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) after he appeared to mock Angel Families by holding up giant portraits of furloughed federal employees on Capitol Hill. Angel Families are known to protest and rally for immigration enforcement by carrying photos of their loved ones who have been killed and murdered by illegal aliens.


“Look, my son was murdered. He will never have a paycheck,” Gibboney said:
He will never get a back paycheck. And they’re complaining because this is the second or third week … how insane is that. America ought to be outraged with Congress, and I hope any Democrat out there would turn against [Democrat leadership] and say “You guys have gone too far. You do not mock families who have lost a loved one and compare them to someone who is losing a paycheck.”
“He’s mocking Angel Families,” Gibboney said. “He’s mocking those of us who have lost a child to an illegal alien. How condescending, how rude, how cold can a grown man, an old man, be and so childish at the same time. This was an insult, an insult. If they want to end this government shutdown, all [the Democrats] have to do is agree to something they agreed with before President Trump was the president.”
If you play anything on this post, make sure it's Agnes' FBlive message!

The vast majority of Americans should be standing alongside these brave women and DEMAND border security NOW!

ADDENDUM: And ditto on Levin's sentiments...

This New Year is the time for secure borders!

This repeated battle to secure our border wasn't the bang we wanted to start out the New Year...



But Newt was right a few months back...



And Pres. Trump is right NOW...
TRS: President Trump just addressed the nation [last night] on the border crisis in an effort to explain to the American people why we desperately need both to secure the border and create border barriers on the southern border. And why Democrats who refuse to fund it, must do so.


BRAVO! Of course, Democrats care nothing for border security. Just anti-Trump, all the time, and they've shown it so much so that the left's own can't ignore the leadership's absurdity...

TRS: Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer didn’t win any awards last night for their ‘disappointing’ response to Trump’s Oval Office speech last night, not even from the left.


Mark Levin went on to explain how the President CAN declare a national emergency to build the wall and he made last night’s episode of LevinTV on the border wall standoff FREE!
The border wall standoff exposes the Democrats’ vile hypocrisy, and the leftist propaganda is flowing like a river. Levin discusses and explains the important facts.

NOW is the time for secure borders, folks!
