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!

The love of a father and a son: the Bush Presidents

The news of an American president's passing, regardless of political persuasion, usually gives citizens pause to reflect on the individual, American living in general and perhaps one's own mortality, seemingly surpassing the bickering of the day, if but for a fleeting moment, to restore some semblance of civility above the common discord. And the loss of 41 has been no exception.

Late Friday night, shortly after 10:10pm, the country was alerted to the passing of President George H. W. Bush. Of course, from then and throughout the week, the flags have been lowered and the media has been somewhat at bay (ok, not really), as a nation mourns the passing of it's 41st president.

By now, with such a lengthy life of 94 years, many books have covered the presidency of Bush 41, and one can sift through any number of those to find a plethora of approval and criticism for the man. If I'm honest, I've found both admirable traits and undesirable decisions of either Bush's presidencies. Nonetheless, that doesn't diminish the character of either as good Americans who wanted the best for their country. Adding to that, we've bore witness to a historic presidential relationship of father and son. And it's upon that intimate bond that's been one of the more powerful images to behold throughout 41's final send-off...
WaPo: This is new. Americans have never watched a president say goodbye to another president who was also his father. And the moment proved to be as personal as it was historic.

As George W. Bush spoke before the casket containing the body of George H.W. Bush at Washington National Cathedral on Wednesday, his face was a map of pain. He held his composure until the end of his eulogy. Then his voice shook and, finally, he broke down and sobbed. ...

“Through our tears, let us know the blessings of knowing and loving you, a great and noble man, the best father a son or daughter could have,” Bush said, tearfully slumping in his grief.

There has long been speculation about the relationship between the first father and son to reach the White House since John Adams and John Quincy Adams two centuries ago. (The younger Adams learned of the elder’s death only after his burial.) Historians have scoured the path both Bushes took...

But the reality was simpler, historians say, and was visible in George W. Bush’s grief, as the 43rd president remembered the 41st.

“We tested his patience," his oldest son told mourners. “I know I did.”

Rather than Greek drama, the Bushes had an ordinary father-son bond that played out in extraordinary settings, these scholars contend. There were good times and bad, periods of distance and rebellion, the pain of loss and the joy of triumph. But whatever the weather, the climate was always loving.
Watch this POWERFUL eulogy from a son to a father...



...and reciprocally, we see the love of a father for his son, his entire family, and undoubtedly his nation...
CP: The final words of President George H. W. Bush tell us a lot about the kind of man he was, and especially the kind of father he was.

At 94 years old and ailing from Parkinson’s and the pains of old age, Bush said he was ready to go. He told his family he wanted to be with Barbara, his wife of 73 years, and Robin, the child they lost long ago to leukemia. And in a final conversation, his oldest son, George W. Bush, told him he had been a “wonderful father.” His father’s reply—and final words—were: “I love you, too.”

These final sentiments from Bush were touching and not surprising.

The death of that little girl Robin 65 years ago was the enduring heartbreak of his and his wife’s life. ...

George H. W. Bush said he “learned the true meaning of grief when Robin died.” Though he firmly believed she was “in God’s loving arms,” the pain never went away. ...

In his final moments, George H. W. Bush was thinking about reunification with that three-year-old girl.

Also poignant was the fact that the parting words the elder Bush heard was that he had been a wonderful father. It was fitting that the oldest Bush child, now the family patriarch, would express that sentiment for the family.

George W. referred to his father as “the world’s greatest dad.” At the start of his Republican convention speech in Philadelphia in August 2000, in a subtle reference to President Bill Clinton allegedly calling him “daddy’s boy” two days earlier, George W. looked toward his father’s seat and proclaimed before a national audience, “I am proud to be your son.”

...the takeaway is this: George W. Bush considered his father his “hero.” And he certainly wasn’t the only Bush child that felt that way. And for a dad, even one of so many great achievements, that’s a pretty good way to go.
May George be reunited with his beloved Barbara and daughter Robin, glorifying the Lord God Almighty.
REMEMBER thy servant, O Lord, according to the favour which thou bearest unto thy people, and grant that, increasing in knowledge and love of thee, he may go from strength to strength, in the life of perfect service, in thy heavenly kingdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, ever, one God, world without end. Amen.

The reason to be thankful...

For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer. ~ 1 Timothy 4:4-5
Despite our constant inundations, we have a lot to be thankful for in this great nation, namely the blessings bestowed on us by God Almighty. And it is with that truth that we're reminded of the real story of Thanksgiving...


A very Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! God Bless.

A Blessed Armistice/Veterans Day!

Yesterday, we celebrated the 100th anniversary of Armistice Day, which in the U.S. later became known as Veterans Day, yet many observe the latter today. Here's why...
SL: On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, was declared between the Allied nations and Germany in the First World War, then known as “the Great War.” Though the Treaty of Versailles, signed on June 28, 1919, marked the official end of the war, the American public still viewed November 11 as the date that marked the end of the Great War. The following year, President Woodrow Wilson commemorated November 11 as Armistice Day.

Unfortunately, “the war to end all wars” did not, and the United States was soon embroiled in World War II and then the Korean War. In 1954, after lobbying efforts by veterans’ service organizations, the 83rd U.S. Congress amended the 1938 act that had made Armistice Day a holiday, striking the word “Armistice” in favor of “Veterans.” President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the legislation on June 1, 1954. From then on, November 11 became a day to honor American veterans of all wars.

In 1968 Congress passed the Uniform Holidays Bill. By celebrating Washington’s Birthday, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and Columbus Day, (all celebrated on Mondays) this ensured that federal employees would receive four three-day weekends. The observation of Veterans Day was moved to the fourth Monday in October, and the first Veterans Day under the new law was Monday, October 25, 1971. Many states disapproved of this change and continued to observe the holiday on its original date of November 11. Recognizing that the actual date of Veterans Day carried historical and patriotic significance to many Americans, in 1975 President Gerald Ford signed legislation returning the observation of Veterans Day back to November 11.
Regardless of the slight discrepancy in commemoration and observance, Veterans Day, as we've come to recognize it, honors the service of ALL American veterans, living or deceased. We especially thank our living veterans who've served honorably during times of war or peace. So despite the politics of the day, the vast majority of our grateful nation say, "THANK YOU and GOD BLESS!"

...just another leftist mob

It’s no longer the media, it’s the Democrat media mob... The hard news people on TV should just tell the truth and call themselves liberal commentators and stop pretending to be objective journalists. The way the media speaks to our President is not acceptable in any professional environment. Speaking over others, interrupting others and their snide and cynical attacks disguised as questions would never fly in the workplace, yet they continue to treat the president this way. ~ The Mark Levin Show, 11/7/18
How is it that this is unacceptable among the press corps and worthy of pulling one's press pass...



...but this is perfectly acceptable by the same gaggle of reporters, who are excoriating the White House for pulling this hack's pass?!



NEWSFLASH: These people are NOT reporters. They're exactly what Levin (and Rush) called them: the Democrat media mob.


And it continues with the same media online. Just search "Neil Munro" and "Jim Acosta". Granted, one set of articles are older than the other, but the press attitudes are obvious: disdain for the former, sympathy for the latter, in respect to both press individuals and presidents. It's undeniable, yet they claim there's no liberal bias. Riiight.

Hey, American media, here's another word to search: objective.

I know, seems like a foreign concept these days.

2018 Midterms: appears that Trumpism won and progressivism lost

So, where are we the morning after? Not sure if things ended up with anyone fully satisfied, certainly not for Dems, and we didn't get the routing we'd hoped for. However, in the most general of terms, Trumpism won and progressivism lost...
Democrats are getting the party they want, and it can’t win in purple and red states. Republicans are getting the party they didn’t want, and it can. And that made all the difference last night, in an election that turned out to be profoundly disappointing for progressives. How disappointing? Josh Kraushaar and “Abolish ICE” progressive Sean McElwee had drawn up a list pre-election of the key races as he saw them for the evening – Republicans won all nine of them.

The Blue Wave that had been so highly anticipated last night never materialized. A wave election, however you define it, does more than elect 30-35 House members and flip at this juncture just one Senate seat. A wave election is a combo punch of wins all over the place, including in places that push the margins of where you thought a party could win. We saw a true wave election in 2010 for Republicans. There was no such repudiation offered by Resistance Democrats in 2018.

Yes, Democrats took the House, as anticipated – the combination of retirements and the backlash of suburban voters overwhelmed a GOP where many of its members had become lackadaisical in their approach to doing the work required to win elections. But when your most significant statewide victories for Democrats are defeating Scott Walker and Dean Heller, it’s a far cry from how things looked pre-Kavanaugh.

So today we wake up to a Republican Party that is decidedly more Trumpian, having seen the elimination of its most moderate and Trump-critical members, and the support of those who embraced Trump emphatically on the campaign trail and in policy preferences. The only candidate to win statewide who could be fairly described as a Trump critic is Mitt Romney, and even he will arrive in Washington to play the balancing game in a period of investigations and confirmations. And on both scores, it’s full speed ahead, with subpoena power for the House and an emboldened majority in the Senate. ...

This election featured the metropolitan backlash we expected, and it delivered the House to Democrats and eradicated the suburban moderates from the GOP. It just wasn’t enough to form a wave, hampered by the economy, by Kavanaugh, and by a challenging map. It furthered President Trump’s goals of the kind of coalition he wants. After two years of often uncomfortable relationships with Paul Ryan and Congress, he now has a foil in Nancy Pelosi and the House Democrats. We shall see what use he makes of them.
And about that 'blue wave'...yeah, NO. Dems won the House, but Trump won the election...
While Tuesday night was not a complete win for Republicans, there was no blue wave, either. By most measures, Republicans beat the odds of history and nearly everyone’s expectations, while Democrats were left disappointed as the fantasy of Beto O’Rourke, Andrew Gillum, Stacey Abrams and others winning fizzled. Not one new progressive Democrat was successful bursting onto the scene. It will take a few days to process the meaning of this year’s election returns, but the instant analysis is clear: Democrats may have won the House, but Trump won the election.

As I always say, in politics, what is supposed to happen tends to happen. I predicted in August that the Democrats would take the House but that alone was not enough for most Democrats. As much as this year’s midterms offered an obvious opportunity to rebuke President Trump, little of what the arrogant Democrats and members of the mainstream media expected would happen actually did. So much of what they said turned out to be wrong that it will take a while before the significance becomes clear. And if the 2018 midterms prove anything, it is that Trump is standing strong while Democrats and their allies who thought Trump would have been affirmatively rejected are in fact the ones who have themselves been denied.

Democrats have underperformed in comparison with the historical markers and general expectations of a midterm cycle. The president’s party loses 37 seats in the House on average in midterm elections when his approval is below 50 percent — but Democrats aren’t projected to pick up nearly that many seats. No liberal will want to admit it, but Trump is an asset to the Republican Party, while President Barack Obama was a disaster for the Democratic Party.
In general terms though (which seem to historically equate to a loss of 30 House seats for a president's midterm), Obama's first midterm loss was rather historic (-63) compared to Trump's, who defied the odds with -27, averting disaster and making a little history of his own...
The 2018 midterm election wasn’t a disaster for Donald Trump like it usually is for the president’s party: Republicans strengthened their control over the Senate even as the lost command of the House for the first time in eight years.

How unusual is that? It’s only the third time in the past 104 years that the party holding the White House has gained seats in the Senate in a mid-term election while losing seats the House. The same split outcome also occurred in 1970, 1962 and 1914.
That's not without saying things won't be challenging for the president's agenda (and for Washington to simply work for the people, instead of the ensuing special interest vindettas!), but that does put things in perspective. Also in perspective, not all of the added Democratic House members were progressive darlings. Blue Dogs were certainly added to the mix. And Nance may face an impending battle of her own...
Nancy Pelosi won’t have much time to relish her party’s takeover of the House.

Though she played a key role in helping Democrats regain the majority for the first time since 2011, Pelosi faces a new battle: regaining the speaker’s gavel amid grumbling from a growing minority of rank-and-file Democrats about the need for new leadership.

The San Francisco Democrat, who has led her party in the House since 2003 including four years as speaker, said Tuesday night that she’s confident she will be elected speaker.
Despite the hearsay, I'm pretty confident that Democrats will re-seat her as Speaker out of spite! But another term of Pelosi re-wrecking the House might be what's required for a realignment in a few short years. We'll have to wait and see.

In hindsight, and despite the close races (in which we undoubtedly have work to improve), House members got the short end of the stick. Campaign promises that were passed through the Republican House often fizzled in the Senate under Mitch McConnell's leadership; yet with poor leadership of its own (quitting Ryan, I'm coining that one) and equally poor optics, regional representatives took the daggers for it. Providentially, Senate Dems made complete ASSES of themselves during the Kavanaugh hearings that woke Republican voters up (in addition to the border crisis, despite the media's insistence that it did more harm) to the kind of wacko birds that were seeking power in the U.S. Senate, thus enabling common sense Americans to assemble a Red Wall to stop their trajectory of overthrowing government under a Trump administration.

President Trump responded to the midterm results this morning...


ADDENDUM: Hmm, there could also be something to this line of thought concerning House losses...
