GOP lawmaker: Pelosi, Schumer have 'American blood' on their hands by not funding wall

"Those Americans are dying either because they’ve been murdered by illegal aliens, vehicular homicides by illegal aliens, or the illegal narcotics that are shipped into our country by illegal aliens and their drug cartels with the drug overdoses that are in the tens of thousands of lost American lives per year," he said, without providing any evidence to support his claims. 
"And so the question’s going to be, how much American blood do you have to have on the hands of Democrat leaders like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer before they will help us with border security? Or is their craving for power such that they’re willing to accept the loss of American life?" Brooks added.

Abortion was the number one cause of death worldwide in 2018, with more than 41 million children killed before birth, Worldometers reports.

As of December 31, 2018, there have been some 41.9 million abortions performed in the course of the year, Worldometers revealed. By contrast, 8.2 million people died from cancer in 2018, 5 million from smoking, and 1.7 million died of HIV/AIDS.

The Governments Coup Against the People of America

The United States of America is unsustainable as a political unit. It is at a moment when enough of the population has been indoctrinated into the new way of thinking and enough of the population has either avoided it long enough or recovered from it to create a solid line of division.

There are no longer illusions about legitimacy on the left, what with the rampant voter fraud orchestrated by governmental units across the nation from Georgia to Texas to California and everywhere in between, if on a less conspicuous scale.

California Sheriff SLAMS Sanctuary Cities, Illegal Immigration After SEVEN More Individuals Are Arrested In Cop Slaying

 
"We were prohibited — law enforcement was prohibited because of sanctuary laws and that led to the encounter with officer Singh,” Christianson said. “The outcome could have been different if law enforcement wasn’t restricted, prohibited, or had their hands tied because of political interference.”

Seven additional men have been arrested in connection with the murder of Newman, California, Police officer Ronil Singh, for helping suspect Gustavo Perez Arriaga try to flee into Mexico, authorities say.

ABC News reports that Arriaga was hoping to escape back to his home country of Mexico with the help of his girlfriend, family members, and co-workers, after he allegedly shot and killed Singh during a routine traffic stop in northern California on Wednesday. Arriaga was in the United States illegally.

Tar Heel (Ass Hole) of the Year: The Rev. William Barber — activist, advocate and preacher

Via Cousin John

 

 North Carolina’s Rev. William J. Barber II is The News & Observer’s 2018 Tar Heel of the Year. He led the state’s Moral Monday rallies as leader of the NC NAACP. The MacArthur Fellow has since launched a rebirth of the national Poor People’s Campaign.

California’s Women’s March Rally Canceled For Being 'Overwhelming White' In Overwhelming White County

“Up to this point, the participants have been overwhelmingly white, lacking representation from several perspectives in our community.”

Organizers of the Women’s March rally for Humboldt County in northern California canceled its January march over concerns that the participants would be “overwhelmingly white.”

The march was originally scheduled to take place on January 19, in Eureka but was canceled after “many conversations between local social-change organizers and supporters of the march,” one of the organizers said in a statement on the group’s Facebook page.

Ignore the pollsters, pundits, and static noise! Trump is winning big! As Capitol Hill Blue reported earlier in fall 2018, “The establishment is in for another shock: President Trump’s administration may soon win significant breakthroughs in our trade agreements.” While alarmist ideologues write scathing op-eds about the perils of tariffs, they miss the genius and practicality of Trump’s strategy on trade. Trump has utilized tariffs, and the implied threat of greater tariffs, as a cudgel—an effective negotiating tool—to pry open essentially protectionist markets that have been lopsided and imbalanced against the United States.
 
In foreign relations, there’s a certain consummate naivety among the laissez nous faire (“let it be”) crowd who posit do-nothingism in the face of lopsided agreements. Increasingly the snarks at the now defunct Weekly Standard and declining National Review under David French are echoing the asinine critiques of Trump that parallel Libertarians.

The federal courts have shut down our ENTIRE government

 

Amid the imbroglio over a partial furloughing of nonessential workers in a handful of federal departments, the political class has ignored that the government has already been shut down – in full and permanently. Individual district judges now control our national sovereignty, border policy, and every other political question. And now Chief Justice John Roberts has essentially barred the doors of the Supreme Court shut to any judicial redress of this judicial crisis.

Just as reporters were going offline last Friday for the Christmas holiday, the Supreme Court announced that it had denied the government’s request to overturn a universal injunction on Trump’s commonsense asylum policy directing the flow of “asylum requests” to our points of entry. Northern California District Judge Jon Tigar and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals violated all rules of standing, 200 years of precedent, and John Roberts’ own recent opinion on presidential power to regulate or exclude entry into the country, yet Roberts refused to join the four conservatives in summarily staying the injunction.

Carolina’s next cash crop?: Farm bill will add hemp into more growers’ rotation

Via Cousin John

Tony Finch, a Nash County farmer, shows off some of the CBD buds from hemp plants he has drying in an old tobacco  barn at his farm near Spring Hope.

With Congress’ passage of last week’s farm bill that decriminalized the hemp plant, North Carolina farmers will have the choice of adding a needed money crop to their rotations.

“I haven’t read the whole thing. It’s 800 pages and 6 inches thick, but I think it’s going to be a good thing for North Carolina,” said Mann Mullen, who has experimented with growing hemp and processing it.

Mullen is a farmer and the owner of tobacco warehouses in Wilson and Bunn.

President Trump signed the bill, also known as the Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018, on Dec. 20.

His national security team had been trying to box him in like every other president. But he called their bluff.

They show that senior national security officials and self-interested institutions have been playing a complicated political game for months aimed at keeping Trump from wavering on our indefinite presence on the ground in Syria.

Ever since former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn was arrested for lying to FBI agents, I have argued that he had a strong defense to that charge: namely, that his lies were not material because the FBI questioned him for an illegitimate purpose — to give him an opportunity to lie, rather than to obtain information it did not already have.

The question posed by the Flynn case is whether a lie can be material if the FBI already had indisputable evidence of the truthful answer and asked him the question for the sole purpose of giving him an opportunity to lie.

Franklin Graham Says He Was Banned from Facebook over 2-Year-Old Post

 The Rev. Franklin Graham speaks May 29 at the Stanislaus County Fairgrounds in Turlock, California.

I must admit I sneered at all of the “First they came for Alex Jones …” posts right after he was banned from every social media platform save Geocities.

True, I found it anomalous that every major tech company found him in violation of its terms of service with felicitous simultaneity for doing the same things that he’d been doing for nigh on a decade and a half, but even most conservatives would agree Jones was sui generis as a fringe voice. I disagreed with the decision but couldn’t summon any outrage; Jones was a singular figure and surely the banning was a singular occurrence — even as it was obvious to anyone paying attention that social media was cracking down on conservative voices in more covert ways.

"This was the stated and strong preference that the Board of Trustees and I made in our proposal for the plan because we learned from our analyses that relocating off campus, for example to the North Carolina Museum of History, was the best way to ensure the safety and security of our people and campus and was more feasible and cost-effective."

James Comey Contradicts Brennan’s Testimony on ‘Pee’ Dossier Influencing Intel Community Report

 

In testimony, former FBI Director James Comey contradicted the claim made during previous testimony by former CIA Director John Brennan that the anti-Trump dossier was “not in any way used as the basis for the intelligence community’s assessment” that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election.

The dossier, authored by former British spy Christopher Steele, was produced by the controversial Fusion GPS firm. Fusion was paid for the dossier work by Trump’s main political opponents, namely Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) via the Perkins Coie law firm.

A January 6 U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) report released by Comey’s FBI, Brennan’s CIA and the NSA under Mike Rogers assessed that Russia attempted to interfere in the 2016 presidential election. It also claimed that Russia worked to aid Trump’s electoral victory.

Video Leaks of Mexican Cartel Ambushing Cops

The Mexican government responded to the release of a video capturing the deadly ambush of four police officers in October 2018, which was recently leaked via social media.

The Ministry of Security and the Office of the Attorney General of the State of Mexico said they are investigating the release of the video, which was seized as evidence and was otherwise in the possession of authorities, according to local reporting. The video depicts the ambush killing of four officers of the Secretariat of Security of the State of Mexico (SSEM). They were traveling on a mountain road in the municipality of Almoloya de Alquisiras on October 28 of this year at the time of their deaths. A spokesperson for the Attorney General’s Office said the video was seized from one of the suspected perpetrators of the ambush who was detained by elements of the state police.

The shocking video, which began to circulate on social media, is split into two segments. The first captures a group of approximately seven cartel gunmen believed to belong to La Familia Michoacana with their faces uncovered, dressed in tactical vests, and armed with rifles on an elevated ambush position looking down toward a dirt road, where they anticipated the passing patrol. The second segment captures the actual ambush.

Supreme Court Intervenes In Apparent Mystery Mueller Case

 Image result for Supreme Court Intervenes In Apparent Mystery Mueller Case

Chief Justice John Roberts stayed a contempt order in a case that likely arose from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation in a Sunday night order.

Sunday’s order could mark the first time that the Supreme Court has intervened in the Mueller inquiry.

Very little is known of the case, which reached the high court on Saturday, because the matter has proceeded through the federal courts under seal, meaning strict confidentiality prevails over every detail.

The scant facts which are available about the case are these: a grand jury issued a subpoena to an unnamed company owned by a foreign government some time during the summer of 2018. That firm, referred to in court filings as “the corporation” has been fighting the subpoena in federal court since August.

Vietnamese Immigrants in the United States

Via Lê Bá Dzũng

 
Large-scale immigration from Vietnam to the United States began at the end of the Vietnam War, when the fall of Saigon in 1975 led to the U.S.-sponsored evacuation of an estimated 125,000 Vietnamese refugees. As the humanitarian crisis and displacement of people in the Indochina region (Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos) intensified, more refugees and their families were admitted to the United States. The Vietnamese immigrant population has grown significantly since then, roughly doubling every decade between 1980 and 2000, and then increasing 26 percent in the 2000s. In 2017, more than 1.3 million Vietnamese resided in the United States, accounting for 3 percent of the nation’s 44.5 million immigrants and representing the sixth-largest foreign-born group in the country.

Why Trump Can't Be Airbrushed Out of the Picture

Via John
Only one sitting president who had won the first term failed to secure re-nomination by his party. He was Franklin Pierce, whose demise came in exceptional circumstances created by the division over the issue of slavery as the nation moved towards the War of Secession.

President Donald Trump has put a number of burning issues back on the agenda. These include the widening income gap in the United States, the unintended and unexpected consequences of outsourcing, and the disequilibrium created by signing trade agreements with countries with different labor laws and environmental, health and safety standards.

In foreign policy, Trump has managed to pass on an important message: don't take American heavy lifting for granted! More importantly, Trump has persuaded millions of Americans excluded or self-excluded from the political arena to end their isolation and demand a meaningful place in collective decision-making.

Thus, for the time being at least, air-brushing Trump out of the picture is a forlorn task.

CHECKMATE – Saudi Crown Prince MbS Sends Replacement Troops To Defend Kurds in Syria…

Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and the DC Decepticons are concerned about the Kurdish groups in Syria as the President Trump withdraws U.S. forces.  The concern stems from a possibility of Turkey taking hostile action toward our Kurdish allies.  However, a new report from the region highlights Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman is sending his forces to replace the U.S. troops.
SAUDI ARABIA – Saudi Arabia and the UAE have sent military forces to areas controlled by the Kurdish YPG group in north-east Syria, Turkey’s Yenisafak newspaper reported.
The paper said the forces will be stationed with US-led coalition troops and will support its tasks with huge military enforcements as well as heavy and light weapons.
