Senior DOD Official John Rood: Three Migrant Caravans Headed to U.S.

Senior DOD Official John Rood: Three Migrant Caravans Headed to U.S.:

Image result for flickr commons images capital hillReps. Hartzler and Mo Brooks (R-AL) noted that there is existing authority the administration could use to have the military build a border barrier without declaring a national emergency, through Section 284 of Title 10 of the United States Code.
“Congress has actually given the DOD the ability to provide military support to law enforcement agencies specifically for countering the counter-drug purposes. Section 284 of Title 10 of the United States Code authorizes the DOD to provide support to counter drug activities to control the transnational organized crime,” she said.
“The law clearly identifies various activities that DOD is authorized to conduct including the construction of road and construction of fences. Light installation along smuggling corridors, aerial, ground reconnaissance and transportation,” she said.

"I'm beginning to see the left compare Nathan Phillips (real Indian/fake victim) to Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown and even Mumia Abu Jamal, a convicted cop killer the left has canonized as a political prisoner, claiming that Phillips did nothing wrong and it was the Covington Catholic high school kids who attacked him with race hatred in their hearts.
Their evidence?
A look.

See the source image"WELL, YES:
The Covington fiasco has proved to be a clarifying moment. And here is what has been made clear: Much of the American media is no longer engaged in journalism. It is engaged in opposition research and in what is sometimes known among political operatives as “black p.r.”—the sinister twin of ordinary public relations. As Joy Behar, as profoundly dim and tedious a person as American public life has to offer, forthrightly confessed: The hysteria and outright dishonesty surrounding the Covington students had nothing to do with them. It has to do with narrowly partisan, selfish, deeply stupid, entirely unpatriotic, childish, foot-stamping, fingers-in-the-ears, weeping, cooties-loathing, teary-eyed, tremulous, quavering, pansified, gormless, deceitful, dishonorable, and cynical politics of the lowest kind — the politics of Us and Them.
...Those of you who play along with that — who enjoy being lied to and manipulated — are pathetic in the literal sense of that word. What the hell is wrong with you?

We’ve been watching her taxpayer-supported travel for years. Earlier, I discussed Judicial Watch’s prior work here in an op-ed for Fox News.
Just this week, Judicial Watch released documents they obtained through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Air Force that detail $134,587.81 plus $50,000 for an advance of funds for an “escort officer” for a total of $184.587.81 for then-House Minority Leader Pelosi’s Congressional delegation (CODEL) to Italy and Ukraine in 2015.

Who Owns America? – American Greatness
"Anywhere from 11 million to 22 million illegal aliens reside in the United States today. 
The most recent research suggests that the higher number is closest to the correct figure. 
See the source imageIn and of itself, that is a crisis.
New arrivals—legal and illegal—come to America all the time. 
Two-thirds of these... use food stamps and other forms of state-administered assistance, such as public housing, not long after they arrive in the country, leaving Americans with a $116 billion annual tab. 
Moreover, much of the savings these new arrivals manage to accumulate are sent out of the country as remittances, about $25 billion of which ends up in Mexico.
More people today speak a single non-English language—Spanish—than ever before in American history. 
... immigration is merely an instrument in a larger conflict between those who would prefer to rule us without our consent.

The Left Is Shunning Liberals With Concerns About Transgender Agenda | The Heritage Foundation

The Left Is Shunning Liberals With Concerns About Transgender Agenda | The Heritage Foundation:

Image result for flickr commons images gender signs“Gender identity” refers to an individual’s inner sense of being a man or a woman or both or neither. It exists along a spectrum and can be fluid. It’s entirely arbitrary and self-disclosed. And rather incoherent, as it’s not at all clear what it means to “feel like” a woman, or how I would know if I felt like one, or why my feeling like a woman (whatever that means) would make me a woman.
As a result, if “gender identity” becomes a protected class in federal civil rights law, as Pelosi’s Equality Act would result in, there will be serious negative consequences. That’s where we agree. And that’s where we can work together.

Why So Many ‘Tolerant’ People Are Intolerant | Intellectual Takeout
"It’s become common to point out that those who most preach “tolerance” are often themselves highly “intolerant.”
But why is that?
As University of Texas professor and ethics expert J. Budziszewski explains, it may have a lot to do with tolerance’s character as a virtue.
Let me explain. 
Why So Many ‘Tolerant’ People Are Actually IntolerantOr rather, I’ll explain Budziszewski’s explanation from his excellent article, “The Illusion of Moral Neutrality.” 
This explanation involves three steps:
1) Tolerance is a virtue.
...Thus, for instance, we may tolerate someone voicing a wrong opinion because suppressing it: 
1) could lead to further, more insidious suppressions of free speech; 
2) could eliminate the chance for truth to shine through when pitted against error.
According to Budziszewski, the extremes to be avoided in exercising tolerance are “softheadedness”—“putting up with something we should suppress”—and “narrowmindedness”—“suppressing what we should put up with.”
2) The virtues are interdependent..."

'Election Reform' Fraud: The media have already started a drumbeat in favor of the first major legislation proposed by the new Democratic Congress, the so-called "For The People Act Of 2019." It is, in fact, a dangerous piece of legislation that, if enacted, would end American democracy as it has existed for over over 240 years.

Crisis at our southern border is real and growing worse without the wall | TheHill

Crisis at our southern border is real and growing worse without the wall | TheHill:

Image result for flickr commons images illegal border crossingThe federal government has reopened, but the talking points pushed by the Democrats about the southern border remain the same. They falsely say “there is no crisis.” They claim that a barrier or wall would do nothing to curb illegal immigration or drug smuggling, which is demonstrably untrue. The “humanitarian challenge” that members of Congress refer to is actually an inundation of migrants at the border that hurts the overall mission of law enforcement officials and threatens to crash the system.
What is new here is the unprecedented and growing surge of migrant family arrivals at our border with Mexico over the past year. Last month alone, more than 27,000 family units, defined as at least one adult and child together, were processed into custody.

Can the Republic Survive the Mainstream Media?
"People complain of the cultural turmoil and upset in the country without realizing that the mainstream media – which nowadays includes almost all broadcast media as well as the digital giants Facebook, Google, and Twitter, and others – are the main determinants of the mood and cultural milieu of the United States. 
At this point it is inescapable that unless the mainstream media are happy, we cannot, as a society, be happy.  
While almost nobody fully grasps the profound cultural influence of the media, we all respond to media-fostered agitation when they’re upset – notably when conservative/Republican ideas are in the ascendance – and the relative calm and quiescence when their like-minded, left-leaning Democrats are in charge.
A sad, perhaps damning adjunct in terms of cultural survival is that while we feel the swings in mood of the culture, most of us have little idea about the media’s pivotal influence..."

"A professor at Duke University stepped down on Saturday after screenshots of an email she wrote warning Chinese students from conversing in their native language went viral on social media.
"I encourage you to commit to using English 100 percent of the time" the email written by Megan Neely read.  
Neely, who was the head of the Master of Biostatistics at the university's School of Medicine, sent the email to first and second-year students in the program.
Neely went on to urge her students to "to commit to using English 100 percent of the time" while on campus or in a professional setting.
In her email to students, Neely wrote that two faculty members had approached her to complain about several first-year international students who were speaking Chinese in the student study and lounge areas The Chronicle, Duke's campus newspaper, reported.
"They were disappointed that these students were not taking the opportunity to improve their English and were being so impolite as to have a conversation that not everyone on the floor could understand," Neely wrote in bolded, underlined typeface.

Trump's Salary On Friday, the Trump... - Terri Zandbergen-Whiteman
"Trump's Salary
On Friday, the Trump administration released their annual report to Congress on White House Office Personnel. 
It includes the name, status, salary and position title of all 377 White House employees. 
The report also said that Trump decided not to take a dime of his salary; instead he donated it to an amazing cause! See below.
The report also showed that President Trump is far better at saving money than Obama was. 
The total annual White House salaries under Trump are $35.8 million vs. $60.9 million under Obama, a savings of $25.1 million. 
Here are some other key findings:

  • There are 140 fewer employees on White House staff under Trump than under Obama at this point in their respective presidencies.
  • Thirty-nine fewer staffers are also dedicated to The First Lady of the United States (FLOTUS). Currently, there are only five staffers dedicated to Melania Trump vs. forty-four staffers who served Michelle Obama (FY2009)
  • However, it's what the report said Trump did with this salary that has everyone talking.
  • Instead of taking his salary, Trump donated all $400,000 to the Department of the Interior where it will be used for construction and repair needs at military cemeteries! AMAZING! It's so great to have a President who loves our brave military men and women so much!
Oh, and where's the media coverage of this? 
That's right, they don't cover anything decent that the President does...
BUT WE WILL! PLEASE, PASS THIS MESSAGE ON TO ALL YOUR EMAIL PALS AND OTHERS!"

"The Covington Lie offered the perfect occasion for the electronic mob to pounce—after temporarily licking its wounds following the BuzzFeed fake news hysteria.

The entire psychodrama boiled down not to what the facts on the ground showed, but rather who each party was perceived innately to be.
Add that all up and we had a Medieval morality play ripe for exploitation.
Like racing dogs leaving their starting blocks, the electronic mob sprinted out in competition to lynch the Covington kids within seconds of the initial staged video posting that purportedly showed a supposedly solitary native American “swarmed” by a crowd of young smirking Brett Kavanaughs intent on bullying and blocking the “elder’s” passage..."
