The democrats are demonstrating, again, that they have no shame, no level they won’t stoop to, and no lie they aren’t willing to tell to cover their tracks, or to promote their disingenuous positions and narratives.
The most recent examples are the false narratives surrounding this latest “border security” bill, and border security in general.
We are hearing claims from “President” Biden that he needs this latest border bill, or something like it, to help him secure the border.
Lie.
In truth, the border was very secure when he assumed office in 2021, and it was his executive actions on day one of his administration that opened the illegal immigrant floodgates. These actions could just as easily be reversed without any help from congress.
At a recent campaign event in South Carolina, Biden said Democrats and Republicans are “making real progress” on a bill that would include new border security measures.
“It would also give me, as president, the emergency authority to shut down the border until it can get back under control,” Biden said at South Carolina’s “First in the Nation” dinner. “If that bill were the law today, I’d shut down the border right now and fix it quickly.”
Lies, lies, and more lies.
The truth is, expecting the creator of the problem to fix the problem they created is insanity.
In addition, the president, any president, already has the emergency authority to close down the border, if they really want to.
The democrats have now actually resorted to blaming former President Trump for our border woes, and the complicit mainstream media is more than happy to allow them to perpetrate these lies without challenging anything they claim.
Hopefully people will more and more begin to believe their own lying eyes, and hold the democrats accountable for their anti-American policies.

Let me start out by saying we don’t need an “official” impeachment inquiry.
And we don’t need all of these hearings and investigations into Joe Biden’s obvious corruptness.
We don’t need to tie this check to that account, or that money to this person.
We just really need to stop playing these legislative games, which it seems, only republicans feel obligated to observe.
All we have to do is bring attention to the unquestionable “high crimes and misdemeanors” conducted by Joseph R. Biden and his cast of treasonists, regarding the colossal mess he has created on our southern border, and go from there.
But, what exactly are “high crimes and misdemeanors?”
According to Madeleine Carlisle, for Time Magazine, reporting regarding the impending impeachment of then President Donald Trump at the time, “The House of Representatives voted in favor of two articles of impeachment — accusations of abusing the power of his office and obstructing Congress’s investigation into his relationship with Ukraine — that Democrats argue fall under the umbrella of ‘high crimes and misdemeanors.’”
“According to the U.S. Constitution, a President can be impeached for committing ‘Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.’ Treason and bribery are relatively clear, but what exactly are ‘high crimes and misdemeanors?’ The answer, it turns out, is complicated, and has been evolving for hundreds of years.”
“The phrase ‘high crimes and misdemeanors’ appears in Article II section 4 of the U.S. Constitution.”
“There are currently two major legal disputes over the definition of ‘high crimes and misdemeanors.’ The first is whether or not something in that category actually has to be a crime. Frank Bowman, a law professor at the University of Missouri School of Law and the author of High Crimes & Misdemeanors: A History of Impeachment for the Age of Trump, tells TIME he believes it doesn’t. ‘The defenders of the impeached officer always argue, always, that a crime is required,’ he says. ‘And every time that misconception has to be knocked down again.’”
“He offers this example: ‘Let’s say the President were to wake up tomorrow morning and says, “All this impeachment stuff is kind of getting on my nerves. I think I’m going to go to Barbados for six months. Don’t call me, I’ll call you,” and just cuts off all contact and refuses to do his duty,’ Bowman theorizes. ‘That’s not a crime. It’s not violating a law. But could we impeach him? Of course we could — otherwise what’s the remedy? We have a country without a President.’”
“What’s the Constitutional history of the term?”
“The concept of impeachment was used by the British Parliament as early as 1376, as a legislative safeguard against overreach by the aristocracy, and the terms in question were part of the process early on.”
‘“In England a lot of the impeachment cases had relied on this language of “high crimes and misdemeanors” from the 1640s onward,’ Bernadette Meyler, a law professor at Stanford Law School, explains.”
“But the phrase didn’t have a set definition in British practice; it was used to describe whatever thing the person was being impeached for, according to Bowman. There were several things for which people were impeached during this era: ordinary crimes, treason, corruption, abuse of power, ordinary incompetence and misbehavior in relation to foreign policy.”
“When the framers of the U.S. Constitution realized they needed a way to remove executive officials who abused the nature of their positions, they decided to add a definition for an impeachable offense. Though many suggestions were made at the Constitutional Convention in 1787, by the end of the summer they’d winnowed it down to two examples: treason and bribery.”
“But George Mason of Virginia took issue with limiting it to the two definitions, arguing they were too narrow. At the same time the Constitution was being drafted, newspapers were covering the impeachment of a statesman named Warren Hastings for misconduct during his time the Governor General of India. Mason pointed out that under their current definition, Hasting wouldn’t be impeachable. Mason suggest they broaden the definition to include ‘maladministration,’ meaning mismanagement or ineffective governance. James Madison argued back that the word would be too broad, and make it so the President would be serving at the ‘pleasure of the Senate.’ He worried Senators could remove the President if they disliked a policy move.”
“George Mason then proposed including the phrase ‘high crimes and misdemeanors’ instead, and that’s the term they settled on.”
“To understand what the framers thought ‘high crimes and misdemeanors’ meant, Harvard Law professor Jennifer Taub points to Alexander Hamilton’s Federalist Paper No. 65, in which he explains the impeachment process. ‘The subjects of its jurisdiction are those offenses which proceed from the misconduct of public men, or, in other words, from the abuse or violation of some public trust,’ Hamilton wrote in 1788.”
Soooo, a “high crime” is just a term deemed to recognize something negative a person of power is capable of doing, which the typical person isn’t even in the position to do, or even capable of doing.
It’s a “high crime.”
It’s a special kind of crime.
So, again, we don’t need an “official” impeachment inquiry.
And we don’t need all of these hearings and investigations into Joe Biden’s obvious corruptness.
We don’t need to tie this check to that account, or that money to this person.
We just really need to stop playing these legislative games, which it seems, only republicans feel obligated to observe.
All we have to do is bring attention to the unquestionable “high crimes and misdemeanors” conducted by Joseph R. Biden and his cast of treasonists, and go from there.
This is exactly what Colorado Representative, Lauren Boebert, did on 06/13/2023, when she introduced House Resolution 503, to impeach Joseph R. Biden, Jr., President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.
The latest action by the House, regarding this resolution, was to refer it to the Subcommittee on Border Security and Enforcement.
Submitted articles of impeachment:
ARTICLE I: ABUSE OF POWER
The Constitution provides that the House of Representatives “shall have the sole Power of Impeachment” and that the President of the United States “shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors”. In his conduct as President of the United States—and in violation of his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the office of the President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed—Joseph R. Biden, Jr., has abused the powers of the office of the President of the United States, in that:
Using the powers of his high office, President Biden has knowingly presided over an executive branch that has continuously, overtly, and consistently violated Federal immigration law by pursuing an aggressive, open-borders agenda by purposefully and knowingly releasing more than 2,000,000 illegal aliens into the interior of the United States without the intention or ability to ensure that they appear in immigration court to face asylum or deportation proceedings.
President Biden has intentionally facilitated a complete and total invasion at the southern border. President Biden ended the Migrant Protection Protocols to require aliens seeking asylum to remain in Mexico while being processed by the Department of Homeland Security. President Biden has closed Department of Homeland Security detention facilities and refused to cooperate with State and local law enforcement officials in securing the border. He has allowed illegal aliens to enter the United States as asylum seekers despite knowing they did not qualify for asylum. President Biden has pursued this open-border agenda purposefully and willfully, circumventing every safeguard, check, and balance required by law, resulting in mass illegal immigration into the United States, to the detriment of the American people.
President Biden, with such conduct, has demonstrated a failure to uphold Federal immigration law, violating his oath to the Constitution if allowed to remain in office, and has acted in a manner grossly incompatible with the rule of law and to the manifest injury of the people of the United States.
Wherefore, President Biden, by such conduct, warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States.
ARTICLE II: DERELICTION OF DUTY
The Constitution provides that the House of Representatives “shall have the sole Power of Impeachment” and that the President of the United States “shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors”. In his conduct as President of the United States—and in violation of his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the office of the President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed—Joseph R. Biden, Jr., has neglected the constitutional duty of the office of the President of the United States, in that:
Neglecting the powers of his high office, President Biden has abandoned his duties to ensure that the laws are faithfully executed and upheld, by presiding over an executive branch that has continually, overtly, and consistently refused to enforce the Nation’s immigration laws and secure the southern border. President Biden has endangered the security of the United States and the health and safety of the American people. President Biden has caused a national security crisis and is endangering the lives of the American people.
President Biden has presided over the largest influx of illegal immigrants in American history, and as evidence of his dereliction, the deportation cases pursued by his administration are at historic lows. President Biden’s negligence of duty has resulted in the surrender of operational control of the border to the complete and total control of foreign, criminal cartels—putting the lives of American citizens in jeopardy. On President Biden’s watch, illegal aliens have been processed and released into the interior of the country under a mass system of parole, contrary to the clear terms of Federal immigration law. Utilizing the “CBP ONE” program, the executive branch will release nearly 40,000 illegal aliens per month into the United States. He has failed to uphold the mandatory detention and deportation provisions of immigration laws, resulting in the mass entry of inadmissible aliens and the continued presence of deportable aliens. Through this complete and total dereliction of duty and extreme absence in oversight of his own administration’s policies, President Biden has allowed more than 1,500,000 illegal immigrants to invade the southern border. On Joe Biden’s watch, illicit fentanyl has killed more than 100,000 American citizens. In fiscal year 2023, U.S. Customs and Border Patrol seized more than 9,000 pounds of fentanyl at the southern border.
In his failure to uphold the rule of law, President Biden has demonstrated that he will neglect his duty to execute the office to which he has been entrusted, violating his oath to the Constitution if allowed to remain in office, and has acted in a manner grossly incompatible with his constitutional duty to take care that the laws of the United States be faithfully executed.
Wherefore, President Biden, by such conduct, warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States.
I believe that about sums it up.
If these aren’t the clearest, and most valid, reasons to impeach Joseph Biden, I really don’t know what would be.
Can someone please explain to me what the House Subcommittee on Border Security and Enforcement is doing with this referral?
Can someone please explain to me what our Speaker of the House is doing with this proposal?
Does anyone in Washington D.C. give a damn about our country anymore, save a handful of patriotic conservative House representatives?!
We don’t have time for political games anymore.
Who can reasonably argue against Biden’s “high crimes,” as laid out by Representative Boebert?
IMPEACH JOE BIDEN NOW!
IMPEACH JOE BIDEN NOW!!
IMPEACH JOE BIDEN NOW!!!

The democrats don’t deal in truths. They deal in a series of power hungry charades.
There is a God.
And if God exists, so does Satan.
We see evidence of God and Satan around us every day.
An abortion takes the life of an innocent human being.
Those who promote abortions are puppets of the Devil.
Women who have had a change of heart about abortion deserve our love and prayers, and the knowledge that God and their unborn child has already forgiven them and loves them.
We are all human. We all have sinned. We all have fallen short of the glory of God.
“If you’re going through hell, just keep moving. You might get out before the Devil even knows you’re there.”
It is true that money (which equates to power) is the root of all evil.
Sex is not far behind money. Sexual deviancy (Pedophilia in particular) needs to be crushed and eradicated like the cultural cancer it is.
Crude oil IS NOT a product of long dead dinosaurs and animals. It is a natural product of the Earth, and we will not run out of it.
Elite Climate alarmists don’t really think they can change our climate, while their foolish followers believe they can.
Today’s democrats would have supported the British in The Revolutionary War.
Today’s democrats have more in common with Hitler and the Nazis than the allied countries that opposed him at the time.
John F. Kennedy’s assassination was orchestrated by elements within our own government, and then covered up by elements within our own government. Specifically the CIA, LBJ, and other cooperative establishment politicians and bureaucrats. And you can probably say that for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as well.
Donald Trump winning the 2016 presidential election over Hillary Clinton caught the democrats completely off guard. They would not allow this scenario to happen again, by any means.
Joe Biden did not legitimately win the 2020 presidential election.
The COVID-19 virus was developed in a Chinese lab, with the help of American funding, to be released into the world, by global fascist forces, when needed to mitigate a threat to their power and control, namely President Trump.
Dogs are more loyal and loving than most people.
The United States has seen its last free and fair national election, relatively speaking, back in 2016.
Any government entity distinguished by three letters, four in some cases, (eg: DOJ, FBI, CIA, IRS) are corrupt and politically weaponized beyond your wildest imagination.
Jeffrey Epstein DID NOT commit suicide, nor did Vince Foster. I’m sorry if some of you may need to look Vince Foster up.
Our government is currently run by unelected bureaucrats (The Swamp), not our elected representatives.
Any topic the corrupt DOJ or FBI does not want to talk about is described as “an ongoing investigation.”
It is unethical and immoral for our government to borrow money in order to give it away, especially to foreign countries, leaving the American taxpayers with the burden of paying this money back.
People coming into our country illegally should not get preferential treatment over our military veterans and current citizens.
Our founding fathers meant the “free press” to watchdogs over our politicians and our government, not propagandist lapdogs.
Think about how ignorant and ill-informed the average American is, then understand that half of all Americans are more ignorant and ill-informed than that.
We should all support our police, but we all have also seen how quickly the police can flip from crime fighters and protectors to political mandate enforcers and adversaries of our Constitutional freedoms.
Humans, generally, don’t handle freedom well. That’s why, sadly, America was doomed from the start.
We should all learn how to speak Chinese.

These are places in the United States where you won’t find Afghan refugees, or illegal immigrants of any kind, for that matter, who came over our southern border and were then shipped (viruses and all) all over the country, courtesy of the Biden administration.
These places all have some things in common…, they are all favorite hangouts or getaways for democrats…, affluent democrats…, very affluent democrats.
Oh, and by the way…, you won’t see any of those green windmills obstructing their views in these places either.
So…, these rich democrats beat everyone else over the head if they don’t want to welcome these refugees and illegal immigrants into their communities, but these same affluent democrats aren’t leading by example either. Another prime example of “do as I say, not as I do.”
You won’t find these unfortunate people being relocated to:
The Hamptons in New York State, living anywhere near Alec Baldwin, Robert De Niro, Katie Couric, Anderson Cooper, Gwyneth Paltrow, or the Clintons, just to name a few.
Vail, Colorado.
Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts, living anywhere near the Obamas, the Clintons, David Letterman, Chelsea Handler, or Rosie O’Donnell, just to name a few.
Palm Springs, California.
Aspen, Colorado, known as “mini Hollywood” or “Hollywood East.”
Newport, Rhode Island.
Nantucket, Massachusetts.
And last but not least, Malibu, California.
You also won’t find these people being relocated to our “President’s” place of residence, Wilmington, Delaware, or the state of Delaware for that matter.
You won’t find these people being relocated to the affluent neighborhoods where all of the Washington bureaucrats live either.
“What’s good for thee may not be good for me.”
It’s a two-tiered consideration system to go right along with their two-tiered justice system.
Maybe we could ship some refugees to Pedophile Island? At least the young girls!

Does anyone, besides “the Covid walking dead,” really believe anything the CDC puts out anymore?
That answer would be, NO.
It’s a shame, but the CDC has no real credibility left.
Who, besides “the Covid walking dead,” doesn’t believe the CDC is just another propagandistic and weaponized arm of the deep state, anti-America, government?
Who, besides “the Covid walking dead,” the “useful idiots,” and the generally ignorant, believes ANYTHING the government says anymore?
Now Illegitimate Joe and the corrupt CDC are preparing to implement vaccination requirements, more mask mandates, and even more potential lockdowns!
Anthony Fauci and the current head of the CDC, Rochelle Wolensky, apparently got their marching orders, and they’re prepared to lie, lie, lie, in an effort to support their Marxist actions.
This while left wing district attorneys and liberal judges let the real criminals back out onto the streets without prosecution or being held accountable.
Here are some questions I’d like to see asked of Fauci and Wolensky:
How many people have been murdered in Chicago over the last few months versus how many people have really died solely from covid?
How many children have died from suicides, resulting from social isolation, versus how many children have died solely from covid?
How many children have died from receiving the vaccination, versus how many children have died solely from covid?
What health risks, besides covid, do our children face from being forced to breathe through a mask, for 7-8 hours a day?
Why doesn’t the CDC ever qualify their vaccination requirement remarks, regarding those who have had the virus, and thus acquired the virus antibodies and natural immunity, when the science shows natural immunity is much more effective against the virus than the vaccines are?
Why are medications for cancer, heart disease, and diabetes not provided freely by the government, like covid vaccinations are, in the name of public safety?
These are just a few of the question that should be asked.
Why haven’t they?
We have the Biden administration, the CDC, and the fake news mainstream media sounding a national alarm about the dangers of the covid delta variant, and implementing all of these freedom limiting mandates for American citizens, while at the same time shipping thousands and thousands of covid infested illegal immigrants all over the country to spread the same virus.
It doesn’t make any sense…, unless you really don’t care about public safety, and all you want to do is perpetuate the virus so you can continue your policies of governmental overreach.
Oh, by the way, does the CDC recommend body armor to go along with the masks for Chicagoans?
Just sayin’.

Based on what the Biden administration is doing, regarding the border wall and their immigration policy changes, Texans are going to suffer safety-wise and economically, while all other state resources and services will be strained as well.
So, what is Texas to do?
Do Texans have to sit back and accept what the federal government is imposing on them, or can they defend themselves?
Can Texans continue to build the wall that’s located in their own state?
Can Texans defend themselves by deploying their own border guards?
Can Texans refuse to allow a federal presence in their state, like federal troops were not allowed in Seattle, Portland, and elsewhere?
I wonder if these are questions that Texas’ Governor (Greg Abbott) and Attorney General (Ken Paxton) have been considering?
Because it may be time for the state of Texas to go “maverick.”
It may be time for Texas to stand-up and tell the federal government that they’re not going to put up with their foolishness and disregard for the welfare of the people in their state any longer.
It may be time for Texas to tell the radical democrats back in Washington D.C. to go to hell, and “don’t mess with Texas!”

Our presidential election is only a few weeks away.
We have the choice between the democrat/liberal, Joe Biden, and the republican/conservative, Donald Trump.
Yes, we have to vote for one of these two men, but we also need to consider what these two men represent.
Let’s review what you apparently support by voting for either the democrat/liberal, Joe Biden, or the republican/conservative, Donald Trump.
Democrats/liberals believe it is a woman’s right to abort a baby right up to the moment before birth.
Republicans/conservatives believe all babies have a right to be born and live.
…
Democrats/liberals support defunding police departments. All criminals are fans of this!
Republicans/conservatives believe if anything, police department support needs to be increased.
…
Democrats/liberals support taking guns away from law abiding citizens. Again, all criminals are fans of this!
Republicans/conservatives believe law abiding citizens have the right to protect themselves and bear arms, as guaranteed in The Constitution.
…
Democrats/liberals believe anyone from anywhere should be able to freely walk right into our country whenever they feel like it. The drug cartels and human traffickers love this.
Republicans/conservatives believe our borders should be secure, limiting who can and who can’t come in at any given time, while affording us an orderly and managed legal immigration process.
…
Democrats/liberals believe in tearing down monuments to our history as a country.
Republicans/conservatives believe in honoring and learning from our history, not trying to erase it.
…
Democrats/liberals support “sanctuary” cities and states, where illegal immigrants can live without fear of being taken into Federal custody and charged with crimes or be deported.
Republicans/conservatives believe illegal immigrants are “illegal” and are here illegally, and should be treated as such. Republicans/conservatives also believe that the concerns of legal citizens should come before those of illegal immigrants.
…
Democrats/liberals support raising taxes across the board. They claim working class people won’t be affected, but we all know higher tax rates for companies and corporations are just passed down to us.
Republicans/conservatives support the continued reduction of taxes across the board.
…
Democrats/liberals immediately take money from the military at their earliest opportunity, weakening our nation’s defense.
Republicans/conservatives believe a strong military is an absolute necessity in today’s global environment. The defense of our country is also the federal government’s primary responsibility per The Constitution.
…
Democrats/liberals love implementing a seemingly never-ending list of federal regulations designed to suffocate construction, business operations, and whatever else they can think of to stifle our civil liberties.
Republicans/conservatives believe some regulations are necessary, but that less regulation is preferable in order promote businesses and maintain a strong economy.
…
Democrats/liberals feel it is a good idea to allow anyone living in our country to vote, regardless of whether they are here legally or not, and regardless of whether the voter has any proper ID to prove who they are.
Republicans/conservatives believe only legal citizens should be allowed to vote, and that an ID should be required.
…
Democrats/liberals believe that government should be the “end all be all” for anyone living in America.
Republicans/conservatives believe that government is a “necessary evil,” and that most things are done more efficiently and cheaper by the private sector.
…
Democrats/liberals believe in a person’s dependence on government, and that having some form of a socialist government is more desirable that our capitalist system, even though no socialist government in the past can be pointed to as a successful government.
Republicans/conservatives believe in our capitalist way of doing things, providing for ourselves as a rule, and system which allows individuals to rise to any level of success, dependent on the individuals’ desire to attain it.
…
Democrats/liberals believe in free speech as long as your speech agrees with their beliefs, if not, they have no problem with censoring or silencing you.
Republicans/conservatives believe in the 1st Amendment, and that everyone has a right to their own opinions and that they have a right to voice those opinions.
…
Democrats/liberals believe rioting, burning, and looting are acceptable forms of “peaceful protesting.” They believe in deferring to the desires of “the mob” as opposed to following the law.
Republicans/conservatives believe in law and order, and that no one has the right to harm other people or their property as part of their “protest.”
…
Democrats/liberals prefer to operate in a way that highlights a person’s racial identity, gender identity, or sexual preference above all else…, except their political leaning.
Republicans/conservatives prefer to identify people by the quality of their character and by their actions and beliefs, without concern for race, color, or creed.
…
Democrats/liberals believe the United States’ industry, people and economy need to be punished and restricted due to “climate change,” while the rest of the world is allowed to keep right on polluting and taking advantage of us.
Republicans/conservatives believe if “climate change” is real, it wasn’t caused by us and we have no real way of affecting “climate change” one way or the other.
…
Democrats/liberals believe fossil fuels are evil and need to be done away with.
Republicans/conservatives believe fossil fuels are still the energy souce of choice right now, at least until other options become viable. Republicans/consrvatives like the US having energy independence, not having to rely on the Middle East for anything, contolling our own energy pricing.
…
Democrats/liberals believe it’s okay for the “media” to operate as an arm of the democrat party, reporting only things that support their narrative, while attacking republicans/conservatives, and especially President Trump on a daily basis.
Republicans/conservatives believe the “media” should report from an unbiased point of view, acting as a watchdog against all government improprieties, regardless of which party it is.
…
And what about the economy?
Democrats/liberals point to the economy after China, and the democrats I believe, dropped the coronavirus bomb on us.
Republicans/conservatives point the hottest economy in history, prior to the China virus, and believe President Trump can get our econmy humming again. Without the release of “The virus,” the democrats would not have stood a chance in this election.
…
So, like I said in the beginning, “The choice is really quite simple.”
The differences between democrats/liberals and republicans/conservatives have never been more obvious.
The question is which side are you on?
If you’re having a hard time deciding who to vote for, you are obviously one confused individual!
There should be no undecided voters at this point.
If you really are undecided, then maybe you shouldn’t even bother voting.
Just sayin’.

We’re all entitled to our opinions. I value yours and your feedback as well.
A couple politicians have actually been discovered using their heads and coming up with some creative ideas!
Imagine that?
This is the kind of stuff that could start giving politicians a good name!
The first idea was proposed by Senator Ted Cruz of Texas.
His idea is to use confiscated drug money to help build the wall on our southern border with Mexico…, since the Democrats in Congress can’t see fit to allocate any money for this endeavor, even though President Trump was elected amid cries at his rallies to “BUILD THAT WALL!”
Dominick Mastrangelo of The Washington Examiner reported that “Ted Cruz wants to use money from the ‘El Chapo’ drug empire to ‘build the wall!’”
“The reparations to the U.S. taxpayer are justified, prosecutors said, because Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzman acquired his billions as part of his drug empire that directly led to the death of thousands of drug-addicted Americans and victims of violent drug-related crime.”
I would say that “reparations” by Guzman are not only justified…, they should be considered a small and required attempt at compensation for all of the suffering he has caused.
“Prosecutors stated Guzman can pay the sum because ‘criminal forfeiture is viewed as part of the sentencing process,’ according to Newsweek.”
“After a lengthy trial, Guzman was found guilty on multiple drug-related felonies and will likely face life in prison.”
Representative Mo Brooks of Alabama also deserves some credit for introducing legislation earlier in the year, “that would reserve up to $14 billion seized from ‘El Chapo’ for the construction project.”
‘“People across the United States are desperate for a sign that Washington is ready and willing to protect them from dangerous criminals and porous borders,’ Cruz wrote a month later in an op-ed for the Washington Post. ‘Congress has two clear mandates from the American people: secure the border and save money. So let’s build a wall, and make El Chapo pay for it.’”
Absolutely…, who could argue with that?
The second idea was proposed by Representative Lance Gooden from Texas.
His idea is to use DNA testing to aid border officials in determining whether children are really with their families, or being used by child traffickers to get across the border.
Brilliant!
Adam Shaw of Fox News reported that, “Rep. Lance Gooden, R-Texas., introduced the End Child Trafficking Now Act on Monday. The bill would implement DNA testing at the border, and punish those caught trying to cheat the system with up to 10 years in prison.”
I’d say 10 years would be a good start.
“The proposal comes in response to growing awareness of the fraudulent use of children by adult migrants to gain access to the U.S. The 1997 Flores court settlement limits how long children can be held in custody to just 20 days, meaning that adult migrants claiming to be family members will also be released into the homeland as their asylum cases are considered.”
‘“Unfortunately we see that all too often now … adults that are bringing children with them that are not their own to try and take advantage of what they perceive as a loophole in our law that would allow them to be released into the United States,’ Acting DHS Secretary Kevin McAleenan told the House Oversight Committee last week, as he described how a DNA test helped thwart one migrant who allegedly ‘bought’ a child in a bid to exploit loopholes.”
‘“We’ve had egregious cases, including a 51-year-old man who bought a six-month child for $80 in Guatemala and admitted that when confronted with a DNA test by a Homeland Security Investigations agent conducting a pilot at one of our border stations,’ he said.”
“He also testified about the problem of ‘child recycling’ that authorities were investigating, where children are used multiple times to get adults into the U.S.”
‘“There are one in five cases, according to ICE, of groups of people coming over with children, saying “these are our children” — when they say that they get preferential treatment through the asylum process — and then we have later found out they are not even related, so the DNA testing helps us to determine if they’re telling the truth or not,’ Gooden told Fox News.”
“Tests would consist of mouth swabs similar to those already in use by the State Department. The agency says that such tests are 99.5 percent accurate.”
Representative Gooden added, “I would be shocked to hear of anyone being opposed to preventing child trafficking, but I’ve been shocked before.”
Yes…, I’m afraid we’re all getting used to being “shocked” by how low and by how political some of our democrat friend will stoop.
You have to wonder sometimes if these loopholes are really loopholes, or if these ways of beating the system were intentionally built into the law?
Some people might be surprised by that accusation, but the law is there to be changed and corrected at any time, and Congress is refusing to do so.
Doesn’t their inaction indicate that they are okay with what’s happening with these children at the border?
What else could their inaction indicate?
Like I said in the beginning…, these are two ideas which make way too much sense to ever happen.

According to David Montanaro of Fox News, “New York Times op-ed writer calls for public shaming of US Border Patrol agents.”
Ahh yes, “the failing” New York Times, as President Trump likes to say.
“A human rights professor called for the identities of U.S. Border Patrol agents to be made public so they can be ‘shamed’ for the mistreatment of migrants, saying a ‘mass atrocity’ may be taking place.”
“Kate Cronin-Furman, an assistant professor of human rights at University College London, wrote in the New York Times over the weekend that Border Patrol and other federal agents must be pressured into ending their participation.”
Okay…, I’ve got all kinds of problems with this guest op-ed writer.
First of all, she’s not even from the United States!
Second of all, she’s a college professor, an assistant professor actually, a profession otherwise known as a liberal activist and propagandist!
And lastly, she has a hyphenated name.
She wants to “shame” our border agents, as well as make their identities public, because of their “mistreatment of migrants?”
Exactly what kind of “mistreatment” are you accusing them of Ms. Cronin-Furman?
These agents are dealing with tens of thousands of illegal immigrants every month, and I haven’t heard of any cases of “mistreatment.”
They are just doing their job according to the law, as handed down by our dysfunctional houses of elected morons.
In fact…, I hear more cases of them going above and beyond what’s required of them.
I would contend that our congressional representatives have a much harder time doing their jobs, while causing much more pain and suffering to actual American citizens in our country.
These aren’t mean people, Ms. Cronin-Furman…, not like you and your liberal propagandist friends.
‘“The identities of the individual Customs and Border Protection agents who are physically separating children from their families and staffing the detention centers are not undiscoverable,’ she wrote.”
Oh really? Could I just mention that YOUR personal information and the personal information of all of YOUR comrades is also “not undiscoverable.”
‘“Immigration lawyers have agent names; journalists reporting at the border have names, photos and even videos. These agents’ actions should be publicized, particularly in their home communities,’ she added.”
Lawyers and “journalists.” Now there’s a motley crew for you!
“Cronin-Furman claimed she was not making ‘an argument for doxxing’ but wants to see an effort to expose the ‘midlevel functionaries who make the system run.’”
What a disingenuous liar.
So you say you’re not making “an argument for doxxing,” but on the other hand you’re calling for the publication of their personal information. What do you think doxxing is?
Just another typical fascist liberal calling out to other fascist liberals.
‘“The knowledge, for instance, that when you go to church on Sunday, your entire congregation will have seen you on TV ripping a child out of her father’s arms is a serious social cost to bear. The desire to avoid this kind of social shame may be enough to persuade some agents to quit and may hinder the recruitment of replacements,’ she argued.”
The problem is Ms. Cronin-Furman…, how do you know the arms the child is being taken from is their father’s arms?
Are you aware Ms. Cronin-Furman that it is becoming more and more common for children to be used just to cross the border?
Are you aware Ms. Cronin-Furman that in many cases these children are not traveling with their families?
So in all actuality, the picture you want to publicize is more likely to be a border agent RESCUING a child from a human trafficker or worse.
For someone who is an assistant professor of human rights, you seem more interested in promoting the liberal agenda than “human rights.”
‘“For someone who is ‘just following orders,’ the prospect of being internationally shamed as a rights abuser and being unable to travel freely may be significant enough to persuade them to stop participating.’”
Wow! You’re just full of great ideas aren’t you, Ms. Cronin-Furman?!
Again…, these border agents are just people doing their job, and it’s a dangerous job…, and it’s a thankless job…, and these media hustlers just want to make their job even more difficult, and expose them and their families to additional harassment at home.
According to American Military News, “During Obama’s two-term presidency, from 2008 to 2016, border deaths ranged from 251 to 471 each year. The 471 deaths occurred in 2012, and that is the second highest number of border deaths in the last 20 years. In the first two years of Trump’s presidency, border deaths have actually decreased [per Border Patrol data].”
I don’t recall hearing any outage during Obama’s presidency. I don’t recall hearing one word about it actually. Nothing.
So what changed?
We all know “what” changed Ms. Cronin-Furman.
We all know what changed.
And it wasn’t your concern about “human rights.”
And it wasn’t your concern about these migrant children and families.

Who is this Benedict Arnold and why is he still employed?!
Brooke Singman, of Fox News, reported that, “Acting [Department of] Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kevin McAleenan is being accused of leaking plans last week for scheduled Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids, after expressing fierce opposition and allegedly ordering top officials to ‘stand down’ on the operation.”
“A source familiar with the matter told Fox News that when the operation was in its planning phase two weeks ago, McAleenan ordered ICE Acting Director Mark Morgan to call off the deportation operation that was expected to target 2,000 families in up to 10 cities across the country. President Trump, however, ordered that Morgan continue as planned.”
If this is true…, Kevin McAleenan should at the very least be fired, along with being charged with reckless endangerment of the lives of the men and women who are to execute these raids on illegal immigrants who had already been ordered to leave the United States. It is anyone’s right to disagree with any given operation, but it IS NOT anyone’s right to intentionally sabotage an authorized operation and place people’s lives at risk!
What is wrong with these people!
In the military, disobeying a direct order, especially from The Commander in Chief, would get you a court martial.
This is just another example of an unelected, deep state, “swamp monster” deciding to take matters in their own hands against the administration’s wishes.
I’m sure former President Obama is finding the whole thing quite entertaining, as these holdover traitors from his administration continually cause these types of self-inflicted embarrassments for the Trump administration.
It’s a shame, but it really can be avoided either. You just can’t fire thousands and thousands of people from all of these different departments. The problem is that Washington D.C. is infested with liberals, and therein lies the problem. That’s “the swamp.”
Also…, saying that 2,000 “families” are being targeted is misinformation being used as a way of ginning up some level of sympathy for these individuals…, and that’s what they are…, individuals. We have no way of knowing what their “family” situation may or may not be.
Singman added that, “On Friday, The Washington Post published a story with explicit details of the planned raids, citing U.S. officials familiar with the operation. The story, written by Post immigration reporter Nick Miroff, said the raids would take place before dawn, in major cities including Houston, Chicago, Miami and Los Angeles. Miroff also reported that the planned raids would begin on Sunday.”
And everyone at the Washington Post thought this was a good idea as well?
Do you think The Washington Post would have printed the plans for D-Day if they could have gotten their hands on them?
This whole situation really makes me wonder.
Tom Homan, the former head of ICE, stated, ‘“You’ve got the acting secretary of Homeland Security resisting what ICE is trying to do,’ Homan said. ‘He does not support this operation, and I tell you what, if that’s his position, then he’s on the wrong side of this issue.’”
And that, I would say is putting it mildly.
“He noted that the leaked story ‘gave the location of the cities, the day this was supposed to start, how many targets’ and added: ‘This leak — which I know where the leak came from, I think we all know where the leak came from, that story only benefits one person — put these officers at greater risk of harm.’”
‘“To have somebody within DHS leak this information that would have put the general public, as well as our officers in danger—that is one of the most egregious leaks I have ever seen in my life,’ the source told Fox News, noting that ‘you can’t go forward with an operation once everyone knows the time, the place, the details. ICE officers and other law enforcement would have been put directly in harm’s way.’”
“Sources also told The Washington Examiner that McAleenan was behind the leak.”
If Kevin McAleenan was behind the leak, I would suggest to him that he not turn his back to any ICE agents if he happens to be out in the field for any reason.
The President has since announced that the plan would be delayed for two weeks to give congressional Democrats and Republicans time to come to a bipartisan solution on the border crisis. Trump warned though that if an agreement could not be reached, deportations would begin.
“The change of plans came after [President] Trump, earlier in the week, said that ICE would ‘begin the process of removing millions of illegal aliens who have illicitly found their way into the United States.’”
Delaying the raids by two weeks was a good call Mr. President. Not only does it put the onus back on Congress…, but it allows the administration time re-plan the raids, with an emphasis on keeping sensitive information away from these saboteurs and rats.
“DemoRATS” to be specific!
WINNING!
