"Those
who enter the country illegally and those who employ them disrespect the rule
of law, and they are showing disregard for those who are following the law. We

country." A) Adolf Hitler B) Donald Trump C) Barack Obama

"All
Americans, not only in the states most heavily affected but in every place in

Que pasó?
Another good read, finally, an honest Democrat: Mark Penn,
Democratic pollster: “I
have no idea what is in this memo, but it’s a memo. It’s speech. It’s from the
very staff and people our Constitution assigns to oversee the Justice
Department and the FBI. And the elected officials who wrote it think I should
see it. The people who don’t want me to see it are the elected officials and
leaders of the Democratic Party, the institutions and individuals whose actions
are being reviewed, and several of the same newspapers that went to court to
publish the “Pentagon Papers.”……For about a year, anyone who wanted to could
read the secret “dossier” prepared by GPS Fusion and paid for by the Hillary
Clinton campaign and the Democratic Party. I urge people to read
it. It’s obvious nonsense. It’s not “unverified.” It’s been discredited. Its
major allegations, aside from being preposterous, have no basis in fact. And, despite crystal-clear federal election
rulings that campaigns must identify the ultimate recipient of the funds for
opposition research, the fact that Democrats paid for the dossier was
stonewalled for a year — and we found out about the source of funds only after
the very same House Intelligence Committee went to court and pried it out.”

“Indeed, it is clear that many senior members of the FBI,
DOJ, and the intelligence community considered it their right to intervene in
the election in order to prevent Trump’s election, and failing that, to kneecap
his presidency. And virtually all of the political class in the US is on their
side. This is the real Constitutional crisis.”
-Clarice
Feldman
“The purpose of a free press is for them to shed light on
what's been going on in our government no matter which political party
benefits...Apparently the Washington Post has already forgotten their Trump-era
motto ‘Democracy Dies in Darkness.’”

“During Pelosi’s [marathon speech] … she was brought to
tears talking about her young grandson’s birthday party. According to Pelosi,
after her grandson blew out the candles on his cake, he said he wished for
‘brown skin and brown eyes like Antonio,’ his friend from Guatemala. … Given
the Left’s eager embrace of cultural chaos, Pelosi’s grandson can choose to be
a Guatemalan woman if he wants to!”

“Mexico’s Immigration
Law: Let’s Try It Here at Home”….Mexico, which annually deports more illegal
aliens than the United States does, has much to teach us about how it handles
the immigration issue. Under Mexican law, it is a felony to be an illegal alien
in Mexico…..In fact the Mexican Constitution bars foreigners if their presence
upsets “the equilibrium of the national demographics,” when foreigners are
deemed detrimental to “economic or national interests,” when they do not behave
like good citizens in their own country, when they have broken Mexican laws,
and when “they are not found to be physically or mentally healthy.”
