Washington-The Trump administration pressured the Department of Homeland Security to release immigrants detained at the southern border into so-called sanctuary cities in part to retaliate against Democrats who oppose President Donald Trump´s plans for a border wall, a source familiar with the discussions told CNN on Thursday. Trump personally pushed Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen to follow through on the plan, the source said. Nielsen resisted and the DHS legal team eventually produced an analysis that killed the plan, which was first reported by The Washington Post. The proposal is another example of Trump´s willingness to enact hardline

This should make the sanctuary city folks angry with Nielsen for resisting and killing the plan to keep their precious guests from coming to their cities. Sanctuary cities are the places for the precious illegals to run to for shelter, security, and taxpayer funded everything. Right?

In 1989, Actor Martin Sheen was named honorary mayor of Malibu and proclaimed that Malibu will be "a sanctuary for aliens and the homeless". Because of what Sheen said back then ,Rush wanted to rent a big bus and load it with Homeless folks from LA and take them to Malibu and dump them off. It never happened, but it was basically the idea Trump´s administration wants to do.

So what? As Obama and his crew actually did release so-called “immigrants” into what are Republican areas.

The Democrats actually want as many poor, uneducated, and socialist minded illegal aliens as possible from underdeveloped countries to continue to gain entry to the USA by hook or by crook. Most of those illegal aliens, who are pursuing bogus asylum claims travel by themselves to immigrant communities in the interior of the USA and reunite with illegal alien friends and relatives already illegally in the USA who help the new arrivals when they arrive to procure bogus or fraudulent identification documents that allow them to defraud the incompetent government run I-9 employee verification system and to get hired to American jobs.

Just about all those locations are in low income Congressional Districts that have been represented by leftist or liberal Democrats for a very long time. The Democrat covert and ultimate plan is to legalize and eventually grant US voting rights to the 22 million and growing illegal alien population who they believe would be natural future Democrat socialist voters, in order to cancel out enough “Deplorable” Republican votes to keep the leftist and liberal Democrats in dominant and permanent political power and drive the clueless cheap foreign labor loving Republicans into political oblivion.

That makes perfect sense. If you are going to flaunt federal immigration laws, you should have to deal with the consequences. You have made it clear that you welcome illegal aliens, so you get your wish.

None of these "sanctuary cities" voted for Trump in 2016. This will make them dislike him even more (especially as their crime rates explode). But it will definitely make him a hero in the rest of the country!!!!!

President Donald Trump on Tuesday questioned a CNN report that Kim Jong-un’s health is reportedly in “grave danger” following a surgery. “With CNN, they come out with a report — I don’t put too much credence in it,” Trump said.Trump did not confirm or deny the report but said that he does not know if the reports are true. The president expressed concerns for Kim’s health after meeting him on three different occasions to negotiate a peace deal with North Korea. “I wish him well,” Trump said. “If he is in the kind of condition that the reports say, that the news is saying, that’s a very serious condition.”

One of the weirdest things about the modern left isn’t how much the activist class despises people who succeed, it’s how many of those activists actually come from money themselves. Not that they want you to know it, they pretend it isn’t true while enjoying the freedoms that come from their family’s accomplishments. The latest example of this comes from the New York Post, which exposed a guy named Carlos Maza as a hypocrite on Saturday. Maza, who goes by the name “gay wonk,” is known for whining about people who’ve earned a lot of money and trying to “cancel” conservatives for making fun of him.

You’ve noticed it right? The Democratic leadership of 2020 will not tell you the truth about almost anything. They lie to everyone, at nearly every moment, about almost everything, all the time. They lie to their opponents, to the voters, and of course, they lie to each other. For instance, after clearly naming two associate Supreme Court justices, and pledging that they “would not know what hit” them, the highest-ranking Senate democrat claimed he never said what he in fact said. From the same event, a congresswoman with a straight face, said to reporters that “abortions are safer than the extraction

What should be done about Senator Schumer’s threats to two members of the United States Supreme Court? Everyone agrees that the senator’s words were shocking. Mr. Schumer, while addressing an abortion rights rally in front of the Court, issued threats against two justices over a case on abortion. “I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price,” Mr. Schumer boomed. The Baltimore Sun, in an editorial today, reckons that Mr. Schumer was merely echoing Justice Kavanaugh’s expression, during his confirmation hearing, of fear of the whirlwind the Democrats had sewed.

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.
