President Trump Takes a Victory Lap, Radical Democrats Prevent Border Security, and Biden Wants to Scrap the American Judicial System

PRESIDENT TRUMP GAVE A STEMWINDER OF A SPEECH IN GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN, ON THURSDAY. The President finally was able to vent about the two-year ordeal the Obama Deep State and Democrats put him through. • • • THE "COLLUSION DELUSION" IS OVER. Fox News reported on the Grand Rapids rally, calling it Trump's "fiery first rally since Mueller vindication." Fox said : "President Trump took the stage before a boisterous full house at the Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Thursday night -- and proceeded to tear into Democrats and the FBI as unintelligent "frauds" who tried desperately to undermine the results of the 2016 election. 'The Democrats have to now decide whether they will continue defrauding the public with ridiculous bullsh--,' Trump said to thunderous applause, '-- partisan investigations, or whether they will apologize to the American people." A Fox News video of a part of the President's speech is available at < http://video.foxnews.com/v/6019621639001 >. • The President said : "I have a better education than them, I'm smarter than them, I went to the best schools; they didn't. Much more beautiful house, much more beautiful apartment. Much more beautiful everything. And I'm President and they're not." • It warms the heart to hear Donald Trump let loose again, as he did before the Deep State began its cabal to destroy him. The President even addressed protesters outside the arena and Progressives in general, asking : "What do you think of their signs, 'Resist?' What the hell? Let's get something done." • Get something done is what America is waiting for, and Americans know that President Trump is the man who can do it. He talked about the border crisis and vowed to "close the damn border" unless Mexico halts two new caravans he said have been approaching the United States rapidly. Trump also took on fraudulent asylum applicants, saying Progressive lawyers often coach them in a "big fat con job" to claim they've feared for their lives when they make it to the border. The economy, Trump said to roaring, long cheers, "is roaring, the ISIS caliphate is defeated 100 percent, and after three years of lies and smears and slander, the Russia hoax is finally dead. The collusion delusion is over....The single greatest political hoax in the history of our country. And guess what? We won." • Fox News said : "Trump predicted that the former DOJ and FBI officials who pushed the collusion theory and authorized secret surveillance warrants against members of his campaign -- whom he incidentally called 'major losers' -- would soon have 'big problems.' " • And, I hope Adam Schiff can take as much heat as he has dished out for the last two years, because President Trump is hot on his trail, characterizing the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee as "little pencil-neck Adam Schiff, who has the smallest, thinnest neck I've ever seen," and someone who is "not a long-ball hitter." Schiff, D-Calif., wrote Fox News, "who fiercely pushed collusion claims, has vowed to continue investigating Trump despite Mueller's findings -- even as Republicans have called for his resignation." • Fox also reported that President Trump's rally : "prompted thousands of supporters to line the streets hours beforehand in a festive atmosphere that included vendors selling 'Make America Great Again' hats and holding supportive signs. The evening was something of a homecoming : Trump became the first Republican in over two decades to win Michigan in the 2016 presidential election, edging out Hillary Clinton thanks, in part, to his decision to cap off his campaign with a final rally in Grand Rapids shortly after midnight on Election Day. 'This is our Independence Day,' Trump told roaring attendees then. Thursday night's event, though, was a mixture of homecoming and all-out victory parade, in the wake of Mueller's conclusions. Enthusiastic fans -- including many who stood by Trump amid a torrent of unproven allegations that he conspired with Russia to sway the 2016 election -- began to encircle the Van Andel Arena as early as 3:30 a.m. Trump relived the Election Day rally on Thursday, telling the crowd that he got home at 4 a.m. in the morning and told Melania Trump that he had an 'incredible crowd' late into the evening and thought, 'How the hell can I lose Michigan? And guess what: We didn't lose Michigan.' Trump also dropped what he called 'breaking news' for locals, promising, 'I'm going to get full funding of $300 million for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, which you've been trying to get for over 30 years. It's time.'....Retired cabinet maker Ron Smith, 51, was one of the supporters who arrived to Thursday's rally early. He told the Detroit News outside the arena that although 'Republicans in Congress are trying to put stumbling blocks in his path,' nevertheless, 'Donald Trump comes in here and gets stuff done.' ” • The President also called out Virginia Governor Ralph Northam, a Democrat doctor turned politician who seemed to endorse the practice of killing some infants after birth earlier this year. President Trump said : "In recent months, the Democrat Party has also been aggressively pushing extreme late-term abortion, allowing children to be ripped from their mother’s womb up until the moment of birth. In Virginia, the governor stated he would even allow a newborn baby to be executed." • Before he left for Grand Rapids, the President told reporters at the White House : "The Special Olympics will be funded. I just told my people, I want to fund the Special Olympics and I just authorized a funding of the Special Olympics. I've been to the Special Olympics. I think it's incredible and I just authorized a funding. I heard about it this morning. I have overridden my people. We're funding the Special Olympics." • Republicans have maintained, according to Fox News, that President Trump has a good chance to win Michigan again in 2020, although changing demographics could present some headwinds. In November, Democrat Gretchen Whitmer defeated a Trump-backed candidate to claim the state's governorship. [BUT] Brian "Boomer" Patrick, communications director for GOP Michigan Representative Bill Huizenga, told Fox : "Democrats are in a pickle and they put themselves here by trumpeting the investigation. All the eggs were in one basket on the Mueller report." • At the end of the rally, Trump told the Michigan audience : "the Democrats took the people of Michigan for granted. With us, you will never be forgotten again." • • • THE PRESIDENT IS RIGHT -- "CLOSE THE DAMN BORDER." BlabberBuzz published an article by Karen Townsend on Wednesday titled "Border Crisis At Near System-Wide Meltdown - Numbers Are Jaw Dropping." Townsend wrote : "The crisis at our southern border is real and it is getting worse. While Democrats continue to stick their heads in the sand and call it a manufactured crisis for political reasons, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen now says we no longer have a national crisis on our hands, we are approaching 'a near system-wide meltdown.' 'Make no mistake-- our border crisis has gone from a national emergency to a near system-wide meltdown. We must be able to secure our borders AND protect vulnerable populations fleeing persecution. But we can’t do this effectively without action to fix our laws.— Sec. Kirstjen Nielsen (@SecNielsen) March 27, 2019." • Townsend said : "This Wednesday morning tweet from Secretary Nielsen follows up on a couple of articles I’ve read in the last few days. NBC News reports that the number of daily attempts by illegal aliens to cross over the border has reached a level not seen since 2006. The numbers have increased to well above 3,000 a day. Not a week, but a day. The surge has maxed out the capacity of existing detention centers, and the Department of Homeland Security is now in negotiations with the Department of Defense to detain and care for the overflow on US military bases, according to a DHS official and two other US officials familiar with the discussions. The Department of Health and Human Services has requested DOD support for bed space for up to 5,000 children, but DOD has not yet approved the request, according to a defense official." • Townsend asked : "How can our border patrol and checkpoint system possibly keep up with this invasion? The simple truth is that they can not keep up and an article caught my eye over the weekend that now border security checkpoints have been ordered closed at the El Paso section. Border Patrol agents are not allowed to speak on the record to the press, according to Texas Monthly, but several did speak to the publication on the condition of remaining anonymous. 'We were told to go ahead and close down all the checkpoints,' one official said Saturday morning. Agents assigned to checkpoints were told they would be sent indefinitely to assist in efforts to process and transport hundreds of families and unaccompanied children crossing the border each day in El Paso, a surge that is overwhelming available resources. 'It’s really out of control. It’s bad,' the official said. A Border Patrol spokesman said the agency was preparing a statement on the checkpoint issue but as of Saturday evening the agency hadn’t responded to Texas Monthly inquiries." • Townsend stated that : "US Representative Henry Cuellar, D-Laredo, confirmed reports of the checkpoints shutting down and said he is also receiving reports that agents with Customs and Border Protection who usually inspect cross-border cargo and other trade are also being redeployed to help with asylum claims. 'We’re seeing an impact on the traditional work Border Patrol and CBP do to handle a large number of asylum cases,' he said. He added that he is already looking at future appropriations to see if more incentive can be provided for Mexico and other Latin American countries to work more diligently to fend off the flow of migration from Central Americans." • Checkpoints are closed. Detention centers are over capacity. Children are no longer separated from their families, or those claiming to be family (human trafficking is rampant on the border). What is the solution? Homeland Security has turned to the Department of Defense for help, though troops on the border is tricky because of the Posse Comitatus Act. Townsend reports : "The US officials and a DHS official told NBC News they are working on a plan that would allow defense funds and personnel to be used in transporting immigrants in need of medical transport. The request from the DHS includes the use of DOD land to build facilities that would house detained migrants while they await deportation or an asylum hearing. The Trump administration has already deployed thousands of US troops to the border to help reinforce existing barriers, such as by hanging wire over fencing, and has plans to keep them there into September. Those troops do not have direct involvement with immigrants, and Defense officials are wary of having uniformed military personnel come in contact with or transport migrants, two officials told NBC News. How about using more DOD land like Fort Bliss and Goodfellow Air Force Base? That is under consideration. Illegal aliens can be housed there, whether it is family detentions or single person detentions. A Pentagon spokesperson confirmed site surveys were completed at both Goodfellow AFB and Fort Bliss last year but said there has still been no request to begin housing migrants on US military bases. 'DOD will not begin constructing additional shelters until DOD receives a notice of intent from either DHS or HHS requesting that DOD start construction,' Lieutenant Colonel Jamie Davis said. 'At this time, DOD has not received notification.' ” • • • DEMOCRAT OPPOSITION TO BORDER SECURITY. Democrats can no longer use the old argument that "border detentions are down and more aggressive measures, like a border wall, are not necessary," says Karen Townsend. "Everything is on the table and border security should include a mix of border barriers, border patrol agents, and technology. Over the first five months of fiscal 2019, CBP had apprehended 268,044 migrants, on pace for more than 643,300 this year. If reached, that total would be the most since 705,005 in 2008 and more than twice as high as the 310,531 migrants taken into custody two years ago. Adding to the Democrats woes on border security is the fact that their attempt to override President Trump’s Executive Order directing $1B of money from the Pentagon budget towards border wall construction failed Tuesday. Representative Adam Smith (D-WA), chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, tried to deny the move Monday and sent a letter to DOD to that effect. As Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan was testifying before his committee Monday, Smith released his letter as the Secretary was still testifying. On Monday night, Shanahan announced that he had authorized the US Army Corps of Engineers to spend up to $1 billion to support the Department of Homeland Security’s request 'to build 57 miles of 18-foot-high pedestrian fencing, constructing and improving roads, and installing lighting within the Yuma and El Paso Sectors of the border.' The reprogramming was directly in response to President Donald Trump’s declaration of a national emergency in February. Bu...Smith released [his] letter informing DoD it would not be allowed to do any such reprogramming : 'The committee denies this request. The committee does not approve the proposed use of Department of Defense funds to construct additional barriers and roads or install lighting in the vicinity of the United States border.' The failure of the House Democrats to override President Trump’s Executive Order leaves [Chairman] Smith impotent here. The money can be used for the border wall." • Townsend ended her article with DHS Secretary Nielson's tweet : "Hard to argue with the numbers, no matter how hard the President’s opposition tries. There is no 'manufactured' crisis at our Southern Border. There is a real-life humanitarian & security catastrophe. The numbers are trending from bad to worse, which is why we need Congress to act to fix outdated laws to address today’s migrant flows. pic.twitter.com/rH7eDLIt0G — Sec. Kirstjen Nielsen (@SecNielsen) March 26, 2019." • • • RELEASING ILLEGAL ALIENS INTO THE US BECAUSE OF DEMOCRAT OPPOSITION TO BORDER SECURITY. Breitbart reported on Wednesday : "The Department of Homeland Security released 24,000 foreign family members who crossed through the United States-Mexico border into the US over the course of two weeks this month....In newly confirmed federal data from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency, Breitbart News has learned that the country’s Catch and Release program has resulted in the mass release of border crossers and illegal aliens on a weekly basis. For months, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials have said privately that the Catch and Release program has been taken to new heights, while ICE union officials declared this week that the program was in 'overdrive' under the direction of DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen. Between March 5 and March 20, about 24,000 border crossers and illegal aliens have been released into the interior of the US while they await their immigration and asylum hearings. The vast majority of these foreign nationals never appear at their hearings and the overwhelming majority are never deported from the country after release by DHS. The Catch and Release process often entails federal immigration officials busing border crossers into nearby border cities and dropping them off with the promise that they will show up for their immigration and asylum hearings, sometimes years later. The data obtained by Breitbart News reveals those 24,000 individuals were released through these areas : 2,500 border crossers released in San Diego, California; 4,000 border crossers released in Phoenix, Arizona; 7,500 border crossers released in El Paso, Texas; 10,000 border crossers released in San Antonio, Texas. Overall, in the last three months, 108,500 border crossers and illegal aliens have been released by DHS into the interior of the country. Nearly 50,000 of these border crossers and illegal aliens, alone, were released in the San Antonia area since the beginning of the year." • Breitbart reports that : "ICE officials said their detention capacity to detain border crossers and illegal aliens has been strained by the enormous levels of illegal immigrants arriving in the country every month. In a statement to Breitbart News, officials said : 'Since December 21, ICE has released approximately 108,500 family members into the interior of the United States; recently, for the first time during the influx, the agency has seen multiple days culminating in over 1,000 individuals released in the Rio Grande Valley alone. The sheer volume of family units (FAMU) crossing the border has overwhelmed ICE’s limited transportation resources; combined with a requirement to detain these individuals for no more than 20 days, the agency has no option but to expeditiously arrange for their release. ICE makes every attempt to coordinate the release of these individuals with NGOs that provide assistance with basic needs, but the heavy influx in recent months has inundated these organizations as well." • "At this current rate," says Breitbart, "DHS is releasing more than 36,000 border crossers and illegal aliens into the country every single month. For the year, DHS is on pace to release more than 430,000 border crossers and illegal aliens into the country. This concludes that about half of the illegal aliens apprehended at the US-Mexico border are eventually released by DHS into the U.S. where they have a high probability of never being deported. Federal immigration officials expect the Catch and Release program to be supercharged this year as the Trump administration most recently expanded the program and cut back on ICE detention space. Current illegal immigration projections predict that aside from the border crossers and illegal aliens who are caught by Border Patrol, then released into the interior of the country, there could be about half a million illegal aliens who successfully cross into the US through the southern border, undetected, this year." • Breitbart also quoted Customs and Border Protection leaders, who said Wednesday that apprehensions of asylum seekers and illegal immigrants at the southern border spiked in March to levels unseen in a decade : 'We are now on pace for over 100,000 apprehensions and encounters with migrants -- with 90% (90,000) crossing the border illegally between ports of entry. March will be the highest month in over a decade,' CPB Commissioner Kevin McAleenan tweeted. Most of the increase is because of the number of Central American families seeking to flee violence in their homelands and seek asylum in the US. 'In March, we will see over 55,000 family units apprehended and encountered. In March of 2017, when we saw historic lows, we saw 50,342 crossings total -- including all demographics, not just families,' he added. The commissioner added that the surge in families had overwhelmed ICE and the Department of Health and Human Services. 'This stark and increasing shift to more vulnerable populations, combined with the overwhelming numbers, and inadequate capacity to detain families and children at ICE and HHS, respectively, has created a humanitarian crisis,' McAleenan wrote, echoing President Trump’s description of conditions at the border. He also posted that unspecified changes in the law were needed to step the migrant flow. 'Changes in the law and closing the vulnerabilities in our legal framework is the only way that this flow is going to be reduced,' he wrote. His tweets came days after more than 3,700 people were apprehended along the border on Monday. 'Border Patrol recorded more than 3,700 apprehensions along the Southwest Border yesterday -- the largest single day total in more than a decade,' CBP tweeted Tuesday." • President Trump has now declared a national emergency to secure Defense cash for his long-promised border wall. So many asylum seekers have recently crossed the Mexican border into Texas that the Border Patrol had started releasing some of those it catches. AND, the Democrat-controlled Hosue was unable to muster the 2/3 vote needed to override President Trump’s veto of a national emergency border security measure that will now stand. The New York Post said : "Democrats tried to cancel the emergency declaration, but Trump vetoed their vote. Tuesday, the House voted again, 248 to 181, to override the veto. However, the vote needed 38 more votes to earn the two-thirds majority to override the President’s veto. According to Fox News, 14 Republicans voted in favor of the override." • When America’s top border security official says the US-Mexico border is at its "breaking point," with insufficient numbers of agents "to adequately respond" -- Fox News reported this on Wednesday, quoting US Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin K. McAleenan -- it is time to call the bluff of the radically Insane Democrats. • It is perfectly obvious that House and Senate Democrats are unwilling to do anything to stop the flow of illegal aliens into the United States. We need to turn the anti-Trump talk around and label these Democrats as the "anti-Americans" they are. They have violated their duty to uphold the Constitution by allowing the United States to be invaded by illegal aliens. Republicans in both the House and Senate must support and pass resolutions condemning their acts and naming them individually. Americans must stop voting for them. The 2020 House elections are just around the corner -- the congressional GOP must give us the ammunition we need to go after these radical Democrat Open-Border anti-Americans. • • • DEAR READERS, These Democrat swines in Congress are sitting on the same bench as the growing horde of radical Democrat presidential wannabes -- Harris, Warren, Booker, Sanders, Holder, Buttigieg, Gillibrand, O'Rourke, Yang -- and they all bear the same mark of anti Americanism. The worst may be Joe Biden -- he's the guy who once said Germany attacked Pearl Harbor -- because Uncle Joe is both old enough and experienced enough to know better, so we must assume that he is pandering -- a word whose origins are in the name Pandarus, who in Homer's Iliad breaks the truce between the Trojans and the Greeks by treacherously wounding Menelaus, the king of Sparta and is ultimately slain, and who in medieval literature became a licentious figure who is the procurer of Cressida for Troilus. Joe Biden took to the stump this week to proclaim that he apologizes for his role in the Supreme Court confirmation hearing of Clarence Thomas more than a quarter-century ago, which involved sexual harassment claims made by Anita Hill. Biden tried to say he was helpless to prevent Anita Hill from being cross examined by the Senate Judiciary Committee -- he was Committee chairman at the time !! • It is truly amazing to me that these Democrats, lately turned radical for the love of position and power, can say 'I was in charge but I'm innocent.' BUT, Biden took his apology a huge step further. He blamed the Anita Hill affair on this : "It's an English jurisprudential culture, a white man's culture. It's got to change." American Thinker's Nick Kaster wrote : "In an attempt to outflank other Democrat contenders in the identity politics sweepstakes, Biden became the first presidential candidate to openly question the entire system of law upon which our country is based. And while it is tempting to dismiss Biden's remarks's as desperate opportunism, it is important to remind all Americans that the British legal system is America's greatest inheritance." That heritage began at Runnymede, on June 15, 1215 -- 804 years ago. It was where, wrote author and parliamentarian Daniel Hannan : "The idea of the law standing above the government first took contractual form. King John accepted that he would no longer get to make the rules up as he went along. From that acceptance flowed, ultimately, all the rights and freedoms that we now take for granted : uncensored newspapers, security of property, equality before the law, habeas corpus, regular elections, sanctity of contract, jury trials." Kaster adds that the Founders "built on the rights enunciated in the Magna Carta and on other significant British documents, such as the Petition of Right (1628) and the Massachusetts Body of Liberties (1641). The British Constitution is unwritten and is based on the English 'common law' -- law built through precedent, case by case, which has long served as a protection against excessive state power. And while the people who originated this system may have been 'white,' the common law is practiced all over the world, in some eighty countries, including India and Hong Kong. The Framers went one step farther and codified the US Constitution and Bill of Rights. 'The rights we now take for granted -- freedom of speech, religion, assembly and so on -- are not the natural condition of an advanced society,' Hannan concludes. 'They were developed overwhelmingly in the language in which you are reading these words.' " • But, Joe Biden doesn't seem to remember his law school lessons, preferring to toss into the trash barrel a system of law that has given us all the freedoms and protections "that are our birthright. Biden's attack is an attack on America itself." Kaster asks : "What would Biden replace our 'English jurisprudential culture' with?....Will any member of the Fourth Estate have the courage to ask him : 'Sir, if you jettison English jurisprudence, then what would you have us replace it with?' " • Based on current experience with these radical Democrat swine, we can assume that Joe Biden prefers the putrid stench of American jurisprudence being burned at the stake in Chicago in what has all the earmarks of a classic Chicago Democrat "fix." And, we can feel pretty sure that Biden would prefer to replace American jurisprudence with the uncontrolled radical Democrat elitist outlaws who thought they could appoint Robert Mueller to destroy a President they didn't agree with. • White man's culture??? If Joe Biden wants to deep-six our English judicial system, what exactly does he want to eliminate? Trial by jury? Innocence until proven guilty? Right to counsel? Right to a jury of one's peers? Right to confront one's accusers? Equal treatment under the law? Right to own property? Right to vote? Right to religious freedom? Right of peaceful assembly? Right to speak one's mind? • BEWARE, America. Joe Biden may guffaw and sound silly when he says Germany attacked Pearl Harbor. But, he and his fellow travelers are far from silly. They are the advance troops of radical marxist socialism who mean to bring down America and her Republic.
