News, Info and Response to Trumps Policies re. borders, immigration, etc.

[GMan]

wow, I have never had any love for Trump, always thought of him as a parody and a fool... and this was well before he slapped an R next to his name. So my disdain for him is not partisan driven. However, I am amazed by how many people drink his kool-aid. This country is filled with people making excuses for him and filling his thoughts to align with their ideology. Perhaps is party driven? I do not know.

Don't mistake it for love, but when the mainstream portrays events in dismiss-able terms for one party's agenda and jumps on the slightest flaw in the other, People are calling B.S.!
Look at the latest riots in Sweden. Yes they are happening. They are being dismissed as income inequity in some press, [[BBC e.g.) or not reported on in others, Duetch Welle and CBC. Why? Doesn't fit the globalist agenda?

What about the stories the papers choose to run, CBC: "Man without a country" refugee who can't migrate to his dream land in Canada, because of the evil U.S. or Praising Cities in Canada trying to become Sanctuaries for refugees while dismissing the rising concerns of the police that have to patrol them.

It's not along party lines, it's along lines of insanity to keep self destructing the western world that we've built up.

[Johnnny5]

This Sweden story line is the perfect example of how the media is proving its biases against Trump. President Trump mentioned Nice, Paris, Germany and a host of other places that have faced incredible acts of violence from Islamic Terrorists. Is the media talking about the implications of those events? No, of course not. For them, the story here is President Trump's two sentence mention of Sweden. They'll ignore and forget the 100's of dead and injured civilians in the terrorist attacks on Paris and Nice and will spend the next week talking and twisting what was said about Sweden.

​Goose-stepping Our Way Toward Pink Revolution by CJ Hopkins

"The point is, millions of American citizens [[as well as citizens of other countries) are prepared to support a deep state coup to remove the elected president from office … and it doesn’t get much more fascistic than that."

Good article going on to define the 'deep state' as more than a few US government spy agencies. That is what Google has tried to do in its definition perhaps trying to control the narrative. Google's definition of 'deep state': "a body of people, typically influential members of government agencies or the military, believed to be involved in the secret manipulation or control of government policy."
​
The article concludes, "The way things are going, it’s just a matter of time until they either impeach [[Putin's) puppet, Trump, or, you know, remove him by other means. I imagine, once we get to that point, Official State Satirist Stephen Colbert will cover the proceedings live on the “Late Show,” whipping his studio audience up into a frenzy of mindless patriotic merriment, as he did in the wake of the Flynn fiasco [[accusing the ruling classes’ enemies of treason being the essence of satire, of course)."

[mikehamm45]

Trump owes his rise to the media, there was a real and devastating false equivalency problem with reporting the candidates this year.

The conservative side of me is more upset about how much of our tax payer dollars have been spent on the Trump family thus far, including funding the "southern White House" as he calls it.

Now I can call out the media for underreporting this because I would like everyone to raise as big of a concern on it as I have, truth is they have reported it, it is just not as sexy as other things. And with monitoring his twitter feed, there is only so much time.

Funny how that statement pops up "drinks the kool-aid" but yet nobody seems to have a basis behind it.

We are a nation of immigrants and the favorite comeback seems to be an Ellis island reference.

What happened at Ellis island?

Immigrants would go to the gates where they would be registered and then go through the process of becoming a citizen,see the difference.

They did not come in by overstaying their visas or sneaking across the border.

Many a mob boss or henchman was deported when they committed a crime or got caught anyways and that was the way it was.

Obama deported more illegal immigrants and green card holders that committed felonies in the past then any other president,but yet nobody said a thing.

As an average American name one country that you can legally immigrate to,you will not find one.

Spain you can and others with a minimum of a $500,000 investment,other then that when caught you will do jail time then deported.

People protest about Russia but yet support China because it saves them money while they throw their fellow Americans under the bus,self centered hypocrisy.

Make a call to secure the Mexican border and you become a racist against Mexicans but yet nobody can think past the fact that it is not just Mexicans that come across the southern border it is a entry point for every other country in the world,that is a hard concept to grasp?

Get caught illegally in Mexico and go to prison before being deported.

I export to Mexico and am charged tax by Mexico for my goods going in but not coming out,and that is fair?

I am a veteran but the temporary helpers that contract with me that are here under DHS have better excess to health care then I do,no appointment or cost necessary.

Obama had 8 years to fix a broken immigration system,did he do it? No outcry or protesting there,and why not?

It goes on and on,but as of yet Trump has done nothing different then what was already being done in the past while everybody was sleeping other then his way of being a non politician and guess what,he was voted in for that exact reason.

To me when somebody says you are drinking his cool aid is code speak for I do not like the guy and anybody that does is a scumbag and I will stomp my feet and yell at the moon to show my displeasure because I did not get my way.

A lot seem to be used to a president taking them by the hand and with a little kiss on the cheek telling them,it is okay I will make it all better for you.

Sorry,saying because I do not agree with you,you must be drinking the cool-aid is a cop- out,without something solid to back it up.

↑ "Trump slashes Great Lakes funding by 97 percent in early budget plan"

Next he'll claim they're "fake lakes."

Now he's throwing a trumpertantrum claiming Obama tapped his phones. Someone responded: "No, presidents can't do that. That law is to protect citizens against people like you." LOL!

The plan also includes a $13 million cut in compliance monitoring, which the EPA uses to ensure the safety of drinking water systems. State grants for beach water quality testing would also be eliminated.



I wonder if those in Flint would miss those cuts?

Federal Budget: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver [[HBO)

Donald Trump's federal budget plan proposes large funding cuts with largely negative consequences. John Oliver examines the troubling priorities of the new administration.

I know a guy who claimed he voted for Trump "so when Hillary screws up everything I can say 'Don't blame me, I didn't vote for her'." [[Although he's a kidder. I suspect he didn't vote at all.)

After Trump won he said [[more seriously this time) "The whole country went crazy."

That pretty much nails it.

Gentlemen, we have a loose cannon — not on deck but on the bridge.

I don't know what Trump's policy is on ILLEGALS but here what they're costing us -

Below are state-by-state detailed infographics on how much illegals burden you and your state: Alabama Kentucky North Dakota Alaska Louisiana Ohio Arizona Maine Oklahoma Arkansas Maryland Oregon California Massachusetts Pennsylvania Colorado Michigan Rhode Island Connecticut Minnesota South Carolina Delaware Mississippi South Dakota District of Columbia Missouri Tennessee Florida Montana Texas Georgia Nebraska Utah Hawaii Nevada Vermont Idaho New Hampshire Virginia Illinois New Jersey Washington Indiana New Mexico West Virginia Iowa New York Wisconsin Kansas North Carolina Wyoming

[Dumpling]

So maybe illegals are costing us via government expenditures. What can be
done is to look at places where illegals are making their contributions to the
economy and shifting government revenues to places that either will discourage
hiring of illegals or will capture income that will cover the necessary government
expenditures for illegals.

This would be like asking Wal-Mart to raise wages if government expenditures
are needed for living basics for Wal-Mart employees.

[Dumpling]

"One fairly new trend that took off in 2015 involved buyers who snapped up
modest ranches or bungalows priced $150,000 to $200,000 and within
walking distance of popular suburban downtowns in Royal Oak, Ferndale,
Northville, Plymouth, or Berkley. They then bulldozed the small house to
build a larger new house for around $500,000 to $800,000 that ended up
filling much of the lot."

If Trump really wanted Obamacare Lite to succeed, Trump did suffer a big defeat. However, making Ryan look bad, possibly having Ryan replaced as House Speaker, and letting Obamacare become unaffordable without additional subsidies and illegal presidential interventions like Obama used to provide would be wins for Trump.

Trump Unveils Sprawling New Presidential Retreat Where He Can Escape From Stresses Of Mar-A-Lago


The Onion


ST. THOMAS, U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS—Speaking Wednesday from the grounds of the lavish tropical estate where he plans to spend much of his downtime while in office, Donald Trump unveiled a new presidential retreat he hopes will allow him to escape from the grueling pace of life at Mar-a-Lago.
With its sunny climate, secluded setting, and luxurious accommodations, the 45-acre Caribbean hideaway known as Isola Vista—which sits on a pristine white-sand beach along the island of St. Thomas’ southern coast—will reportedly serve as a haven where the president can find respite from his five-star Palm Beach, FL resort and its many day-to-day pressures.


“After a while, all that time spent at Mar-a-Lago starts to take a toll,” Trump said of the relentless routine of recreation and extravagance he experiences at his oceanfront Florida club. “I’m there so much that sometimes I just need to get away and clear my head. Here in St. Thomas I’ll have a place where I can simply relax and, for a little while at least, forget about all those headaches I left behind in Palm Beach.”
Added the president, “A few days in the Caribbean should be all I need to feel refreshed and ready to get right back to the usual grind of Mar-a-Lago.”

According to sources, considerable efforts have been made at Isola Vista to create a tranquil retreat far removed from the rigorous schedule of golf, fine dining, and spa treatments the commander-in-chief faces every single day he is in Florida.


His stressful days at Mar-a-Lago reportedly begin at 6 a.m. with a breakfast prepared by a Michelin-starred chef, followed by an early tee time at the award-winning Trump International Golf Club. By the time the last wearying soiree at his private club finally winds down, the president is often completely exhausted, aides say, prompting his decision to decamp to Isola Vista for some much-needed rest and leisure.


“It’ll be great to fly down here from Mar-a-Lago and have a little me time,” said Trump, describing how the new retreat will finally let him enjoy some peace and quiet away from his exclusive members-only Florida resort. “The amount of unwinding I’ve done in Palm Beach lately has left me completely drained. Hopefully Isola Vista will allow me to recharge anytime I overdo it at Mar-a-Lago and start to feel run down.”

Following his first visit to Isola Vista, presidential advisers confirmed Trump’s time away appeared to have had a positive effect on his mood and energy level.
“The new retreat seems to have worked wonders on the president,” Trump aide Jessica Ditto told reporters. “When he returned to Mar-a-Lago, he was eager to dive right back into his packed daily schedule immediately and couldn’t wait to get started on the day’s first hot-stone massage.”

Too many people that work and EARN income have to pay outrageous monthly insurance payments, then they cannot afford to BUY healthcare because of the size of their deductible. THEY HAVE INSURANCE BUT CANNOT AFFORD HEALTHCARE UNDER Obamacare because all their insurance and deductibles go to the people who earn nothing and can't afford anything that isn't given them out of somebody else's pay packet. Health welfare paid for by Socialist redistribution for "the survival of the weakest" [[apologies to Darwin).

As for dealmaking. ANYBODY can make a deal if they give away what isn't theirs to give. That's "obama style dealmaking", and results in escalating debt and weakness [[like drawing Red Lines and letting people walk all over them and bowing to "enemies"). Dealmaking includes knowing when to walk away without bowing to those that don't want to deal; to come back again later. Trump has demonstrated over and over he will be successful in the end so, don't let it worry you!

Oh, it's soooo.... good to see democrats reduced to their normal losing posture of jabbering rabid irrational hate, and puerile name calling, and know we will enjoy it for at least the next eight years. I've never enjoyed gloating so much; thanks Don, keep it going, and get back to your CNN; they have another panel full of people like you just seated.
