First they want the 30,000 they believe they were promised for this year (FY19).
See my post yesterday where I explain we are likely to reach that number by September 30th.
However, in a recent letter to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo they say they want 95,000 next year. Continue reading “167 Jewish Groups Urge President to Admit “at least 95,000 refugees” in FY2020”
Two mass shootings last weekend in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, have communist gun grabbers once again frothing at the mouth for more gun control—including an outright ban of all semi-automatic rifles. They erroneously call these rifles “assault weapons” to make the guns sound really, really bad. They are NOT assault weapons, and anyone who knows anything about guns knows it. But that doesn’t matter to the gun grabbers. Their goal is to confiscate ALL guns, not just semi-automatics, so the terms they use don’t matter one iota. Continue reading “Here We Go Again”

Gun sales are surging after the weekend mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, fueled by first-time buyers seeking pistols they can carry with them for protection.
The latest jump validated a big increase in purchases and background checks recorded by the FBI that show the four most recent months higher than the same months in 2018. Continue reading “Gun sales surge fueled by first-timers, mostly for ‘concealed’ pistols”
In the wake of multiple mass shootings over the weekend, President Trump told reporters in Morristown Airport before departing for the White House on Sunday that “hate has no place in our country and we’re going to take care of it.”
As The Hill reports, Congressional Democrats, 2020 presidential candidates and others have rushed to draw comparisons between the motives of the El Paso shooter and Trump’s immigration rhetoric and suggested he helped fuel the environment that led to the attack.

The Texas Walmart shooter—who killed at least 20 Hispanics in a racially-targeted attack yesterday—said in his online manifesto that America’s future has been destroyed by a combination of mass Hispanic immigration, corporation-driven environmental abuse, and corrupt Democrat and Republican politicians.
Patrick Crusius—who has been identified as white by the media—issued his manifesto on the 8Chan website just a short while before carrying out the attack. Continue reading “Texas Walmart Shooter: Hispanic Invaders, Corporations, Corrupt Politicians “Have Destroyed America’s Future””

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has condemned Israel and its enabling allies over “state terror… in Palestine,” declaring, “Whoever is on Israel’s side, let everyone know that we are against them.”
“We do not approve of silence on the state terror that Israel blatantly carries out in Palestine,” Erdogan said on Sunday, addressing senior provincial officials of his Justice and Development Party in Ankara, according to Iranian PressTV.

Congress member Tulsi Gabbard is feeling the heat over her vote last week in favor of a resolution that misrepresents and harshly condemns the nonviolent BDS – boycott, divestment and sanctions – movement for Palestinian rights.
The Hawaii Democrat, a candidate for her party’s presidential nomination, posted a video on Twitter on Saturday trying to spin her vote for HR 246 as a defense of free speech: Continue reading “Tulsi Gabbard tries to defend anti-Palestinian vote”
House Democrats and 39 Republicans passed a plan to provide asylum in the United States to potentially millions of Venezuelans fleeing their socialist dictator.
In a 272 to 158 House vote on Thursday, every Democrat and 39 Republicans voted to create a Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program for Venezuela’s population — allowing nationals who are already in the U.S. to remain and incentivizing more to migrate.

It is official: The Tea Party is dead. Writing for National Review, Brian Riedl rightly sums it up:
President Trump and congressional leaders are nearing a deal that would raise the discretionary-spending caps by $320 billion over two years and offset less than one-quarter of those costs (and even those offsets would take a decade to materialize). The budget deal would essentially repeal the final two years of the 2011 Budget Control Act and raise the baseline for future discretionary spending by nearly $2 trillion over the decade.

WASHINGTON (JTA) — The U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly condemned the movement to boycott, divest and sanction Israel.
The House vote Tuesday on the non-binding resolution was 398-17. Opposing were 16 Democrats, including two who back BDS, Reps. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, and one Republican, Thomas Massie of Kentucky. Continue reading “House overwhelmingly condemns Israel boycott movement in resolution vote”
Update: Given the shocking and provocative nature of Iran’s claims to have penetrated and busted up a “CIA spy ring” — announcing Monday it sentenced some to death row while also claiming to present photos of their American “handlers” (many showing family and personal photos) — it didn’t take long for President Trump to bat down the claims directly. He slammed the statements of Iranian intelligence officials and state media as “totally false”… “Just more lies and propaganda”.

Without the overwhelming support of Donald Trump by evangelical Christians, Trump would not be President today. Some 83% of self-professed evangelical Christians voted for Trump in 2016. Jerry Falwell Jr. predicts that the percentage of evangelicals who vote for Trump in 2020 will be even higher. He is probably right. Continue reading “Why Evangelicals Love Donald Trump”
The United States government said it has committed this week to provide public and private funds in the amount of $500 million to create jobs and promote development in Southern Mexico.
The Mexico News Daily reported that the massive investment is part of the agreement the country reached with the Trump administration to step up its efforts to curb the surge of migrants traveling through Mexico to reach the U.S. border.

Rep. Mark Green (R-TN) has introduced a bill that would allow Americans to directly contribute to a fund for President Donald Trump’s border wall when filing their taxes with the IRS every year, his office confirmed to Breitbart News exclusively.
“Taxpayer dollars should never be used to advance political campaigns. But keeping Americans safe must be our #1 priority,” Green said in a release provided to Breitbart News ahead of its public release. “Americans spoke loud and clear in the 2016 election that we want a wall to secure our southern border. Congress has clearly been unable to get the job done. My bill will give every American the opportunity to directly help President Trump build the wall.” Continue reading “Lawmaker Proposes Bill Allowing Americans to Directly Contribute to Funding Border Wall When Filing Taxes”
A Texas reporter in the Rio Grande Valley took her camera to Rincon Village and witnessed approximately 300 migrants crossing the border and turning themselves in to Border Patrol agents. The crossings occurred Tuesday night between 6 p.m. and midnight.
KGBT CBS4 Reporter Sydney Hernandez traveled to the Texas border at Rincon Village Wednesday night at about 6 p.m. The deserted area on the banks of the Rio Grande is a well-known border crossing area. During the next six hours, Hernandez sent out a series of tweets capturing the images of migrants walking up the dirt roads from the border river where human smugglers cross them at will. The migrant walk up to the first Border Patrol agent or other law enforcement officers they can find and turn themselves in.
