We've been buying their support for years and years. They've been paying suicide bombers families for years and years. We aren't writing a check to terrorists directly. This is not new or news. The only thing that has changed is we gave them a small bump in the amount of the bribe.

I know it isn't new (hence the "still" in my comment), but it is and was incredibly fucked up, and while I suppose it's technically correct that we aren't funding their terrorist wing directly, we're giving my money and your money to the fucking brother or cousin of the terrorists who are in turn handing that loot over (essentially) while we're standing there looking with our johnsons in hand, as though there's nothing wrong with it, all the while being BFFs with Israel, too. We fund the bombers and loons who kill our friends and us, and we fund our and everyone else's attempts to fight it. It's beyond absurd, new or not.

That we now give them even more is bafflingly recockulous, and it all needs to end.

I don't care how relatively "small" such things are compared to our totals, it can be 1% or .0000001%, it's a matter of principle, and generally - fuck Palestine (and Hamas) anyway.

I heard the same bullshit stories about how Comey had such a "high moral character" being used to describe Mueller. Not to metion that he is a close personal friend of Comey's. And we are expected to believe he is going to be impartial? Give me a break.

This has hatchet job written all over it. The democrats wanted Clinton to be cleared of mishandling classified info, for violating the federal records act, and for a host of other things. And she was. Now they want Trump to be found guilty of obstruction, and I have no doubt that Mueller will deliver that exact finding to them.

Shit, we should just surrender now.

Maybe. I dunno though. I can't tell you how many times I've thought he might have made a mistake only to learn that he has everything under control and is just playing a long enough game that one can't always tell where he is headed.

Any more, when I think he may have really stepped in it, I just laugh and wait to watch it all unfold.

Our President is not playing checkers.

"Americans should exercise caution before accepting as true any stories any stories attributed to anonymous 'officials,'"(Deputy Attorney General) Rosenstein said in a statement, "particularly when they do not identify the country — let alone the branch or agency of government — with which the alleged sources supposedly are affiliated." http://www.foxnews.com/politic...onymous-reports.html

I think that to avoid further confusion, the anonymous sources need to be categorized into two basic groups.

Those who love pudding, and those who don't. For example, "anonymous sources who love pudding confirm...".

Or ignored entirely. The media uses anonymous sources and refuses at all costs to ever name any of them. In that scenario, who can say it isn't fiction, like the plot of the latest sitcom?

Trump Administration Plans Summer Announcement of Wall Prototypes

President Donald Trump’s administration plans to announce design finalists for his “big beautiful wall” soon.

The announcement will take place sometime in the summer of this year, according to a U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesperson. It will include four to eight designs for wall “prototypes” to be constructed in San Diego.

The exact date and details of the prototypes announcement have not been set, but is expected to be a major milestone for the president’s promised project.

Trump supporters will soon see for themselves exactly what the wall might look like after the contracts are awarded and constructions of the prototypes are completed.

The prototypes will allow officials to see and test the designs for themselves, according to the CBP, before making a decision on the final design for the planned wall on the Southern border.

It is unclear whether President Trump will be part of the public announcement of the prototype finalists. The White House did not respond to questions from Breitbart News about the president’s deliberations on the wall or the upcoming announcement on wall prototypes.

But some of the final designs may differ from Trump’s campaign vision of a solid wall made of “hardened concrete, rebar, and steel.”

The CBP proposal requests called for both a solid concrete wall and a see-through structure, but share the same goal of preventing illegal border crossings into the United States. Officials confirm that both types of structures may be included in the final prototype decision.

Some Trump supporters were frustrated after the administration failed to get funding for the wall in the FYI 2017 budget funding agreement, allowing Congressional Democrats to claim a key victory.

White House budget director Mick Mulvaney and White House press secretary Sean Spicer defended the administration’s progress, however, pointing out that they secured funding for “bollard” border structures, that would help prevent illegal border crossings. Department of Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly described the structures as a “see-through steel wall.”

Trump has also floated the idea of a wall covered with solar panels, suggesting that it might help the wall pay for itself.

The president’s FY2018 budget includes a $2.6 funding request for “a physical wall” on the Southern Border, but Congress has not approved it yet.

“We are absolutely dead serious about the wall,” Mulvaney said in May after releasing the budget proposal, calling it one of the president’s “top three” budget priorities.

While in office, the president has repeatedly updated the public about the wall, arguably his biggest campaign promise that his mostly loyal supporters are watching closely.

“The wall will be a great help and that will happen, believe me,” Trump said, after meeting with Republican congressional leaders in June.

While the Libs are busy with their witch hunt, President Trump just keeps on rolling

An Obama-era immigration program intended to protect parents of U.S. citizens and legal residents from deportation has been formally cancelled, fulfilling a key campaign promise from President Trump, the Homeland Security Department announced late Thursday.

Homeland Security John Kelly formally revoked a policy memo that created the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans program. The revocation came on the fifth anniversary of another effort that has protected hundreds of thousands of young immigrants from deportation.

The program to protect parents was announced by President Obama in November 2014 but was never fully launched because it was blocked by a federal court, according to Reuters.

It was intended to keep the immigrant parents safe from deportation and provide them with a renewable work permit good for two years, but it was blocked by a federal judge in Texas after 26 states filed suit against the federal government and challenged the effort’s legality.

Republicans decried the effort as “backdoor amnesty” and argued that Obama overstepped his authority by protecting a specific class of immigrants living in the United States illegally.

The protection program for parents, like the one for young immigrants, was created with a policy memo during the Obama administration. Both programs required that participants meet certain conditions, including not having a criminal history. As part of the expansion to protect immigrant parents living in the United States illegally, the Obama administration also sought to provide the young immigrants with work permits good for three years at a time. That provision was also blocked by the Texas judge.

Revoking the memo and ending the stalled program fulfill a key campaign promise by Trump, who pledged to “immediately” cancel both efforts. Trump has not said what he plans to do about the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, but so far most immigrants protected by the effort have not been targeted by stepped-up efforts to find and deport immigrants living in the country illegally. As of March 31, about 787,000 young immigrants have been approved for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, according to government data.

Arrests of immigrants in the interior of the country have increased under the Trump administration, but deportations are slightly down as fewer people have been caught crossing the Mexican border into the United States illegally.

Trump has made immigration enforcement a top priority and has vowed to continue a crackdown on those living in U.S. illegally and those trying to sneak into the country.

Reuters reported that Trump previously said that his administration was considering different options.

“They shouldn’t be very worried,” Trump told ABC News in January, referring to DACA recipients. “I do have a big heart.

It's also ironic that the left claims to be the standard bearer for appropriate behaviour, always reminding us that words hurt and how important it is to not demean or belittle anyone. Yet their favourite shows and news sources provide a constant stream of vitriol, name calling and dehumanising adjectives when discussing Trump and his family.

You call it ironic.

I call it hypocrisy.

The Rules Of Trump Club:

The first rule of Trump Club is: Don’t believe anything the Leftstream Media reports about him.

The second rule of Trump Club is: DON’T BELIEVE ANYTHING the Leftstream Media reports about him.

The third rule of Trump Club is: Check Trump’s Twitter for news about his Presidency. Bypass the leftoid gatekeepers.

The fourth rule of Trump Club is: Trust Trump’s instincts. He wrote “Art of the Deal’; understand he will do some deal-making as President that won’t mean selling his supporters down the river.

The fifth rule of Trump Club is: Don’t expect Trump to govern like a Democreep or a Recucklican. He is a Jacksonian paradigm shift.

The sixth rule of Trump Club is: Be patient. The man has enemies on all sides. The war for national sovereignty against the Globohomo Bathhouse Alliance won’t be won overnight.

The seventh rule of Trump Club is: Trust YOUR instincts, and stay loyal to Trump. The media wants to sow dissension within Trump’s ranks and among his supporters. Refuse to take their bait. This doesn’t mean criticizing Trump is off-limits, but abandoning him to the jackals every time he makes a trivial move that violates some arcane alt-tenet will betray you, not Trump, as the untrustworthy party.

The eighth rule of Trump Club is: This is our first term in Trump Club. We have to fight.

Here's a thought.

Since the left is hellbent on creating investigations about Russia, collusion, obstruction, etc...; why don't we flood The White House petition page with petitions to form a special prosecutor to investigate Obama on his ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and terrorism, Iran nuke deal, take your pick.

Start more petitions calling for the investigations of Holder, the Clinton foundation, Hillary E-mails, Low-retta Lynch and company for obstruction. Let the list go on and on. Let the people make it public that if they're going to target Trump, we want the real criminals targeted with equal fervor.

Tony.

don't forget to include Lois 'Slow' Lerner in that collection...



if they want a special prosecutor for one, lets have a special prosecutor for ALL

Any provisions for blocking tunnels in the wall contracts/designs. The IDF has problems with the Arabs tunnels under their walls.

regarding olfuzzy's post above about DAPA, a real hero here was Judge Hanen.

http://www.breitbart.com/big-g...obamas-dapa-amnesty/

Obama’s DAPA amnesty was not a law, but consisted of Oval Office instructions to deputies that they should not enforce immigration laws against illegal aliens who had children in the United States, sometimes called “anchor babies,” but must instead award work permits to the roughly 4 million illegal-alien parents.

Obama’s DAPA promise of work permits for illegals was quickly blocked by a Texas-based judge, Andre Hanen, amid a lawsuit by a coalition of Governors and Attorneys General.

The judge’s order later was backed by a Supreme Court decision in June 2016, in which all four of the Democratic-appointed judges supported Obama’s Oval Office amnesty.

Since November, the Texas judge and agency officials have been waiting to see if Trump’s administration would defend Obama’s amnesty in court.

A few days after Obama announced his DAPA policy, he showed his radical, open-borders ideology by declaring in a Chicago speech that Americans do not have the right to decide who can immigrate into the United States. He said:


"Sometimes we get attached to our particular tribe, our particular race, our particular religion, and then we start treating other folks differently. And that, sometimes, has been a bottleneck to how we think about immigration. If you look at the history of immigration in this country, each successive wave, there have been periods where the folks who were already here suddenly say, ‘Well, I don’t want those folks’ — even though the only people who have the right to say that are some Native Americans."

Balderdash! Poppycock! Once the US had expanded its bounds to both coasts and established a central government, it certainly did have the right to determine who was allowed to immigrate. Harkening back to the Native Americans was inappropriate, because they were not united with a central government. From a practical viewpoint, only entities with the ability to enforce them are able to make rules governing immigration, and the Native Americans eventually were not able to enforce their rules (although they certainly did try.)

I think we have the ability to enforce our rules, but in recent years have not had the will or guidance to do so. Hopefully, that is now changing.

Border Patrol raids Arizona desert camp that helps illegal immigrants

U.S. Border Patrol agents served a search warrant at a non-profit aid camp in the southern Arizona desert Thursday and arrested four Mexican men suspected of being in the country illegally.

The camp, about 11 miles north of the Mexican border, provides medical care for immigrants crossing into the U.S. across the miles-long Sonoran Desert. It has been in operation since 2004, run by the organization No Mas Muertes (No More Deaths).

"The raid on the medical aid camp is unacceptable and a break in our good faith agreements w/BP to respect the critical work of #NoMoreDeaths," the organization said in a tweet.

The NGO said in a statement that 30 armed agents entered the camp with 15 trucks and a helicopter searching for the migrants.

Border Patrol said agents reached out to camp representatives before the raid but the talks were unsuccessful.

In a statement posted on Twitter, the agency said it felt “compelled to seek a search warrant” to question the men and said a similar raid last month resulted in the arrest of eight undocumented men, two of whom had a criminal record.

Camp officials said that in the past few weeks, the heavy presence of law enforcement has deterred people from accessing critical humanitarian assistance.
