Original Article

Posted By: DW626, 4/29/2022 11:39:02 AM

What the hell is going on up on the Hill? What the hell are Republicans thinking with this move? We have every issue playing in our favor. The Left’s culture wars are turning off swaths of voters who are flocking to the GOP. We have the start of the Biden recession. We have high gas prices, inflation, and a southern border crisis—and what do Senate Republicans decide to do? Hold immigration reform talks with the Democrats.

Comments:

Snatching defeat from the jaws of, potential, victory? Perhaps this is perfect timing.

If they want to return to the offer presented by President Trump, that may be a good start. Also, every person being allowed to stay should be required to register, apply, be screened, and put at the back of the current list waiting their turn to become U.S. citizens. It would hardly be amnesty since that list is about 10-12 year waiting time. But then, the Democrats didn't want to give Trump the win, and remove the issue they thought would be a winning issue against Republicans. Democrats decided the pain, abuse and sacrifice of those immigrating was just collateral damage, and just part of the political calculus, it would seem. I think that message is getting out into the Latino community, and why many have soured on the Democrat party.

Have to get all these new crossers registered to vote plus deflate enthusiasm. They did the same thing in 1990 giving the Democrats a last minute "deficit reduction" package right before the off year election that was hung around Bush Senior's neck again two years later. They rotate between stupid and criminally diabolical.

This is why I'm non-affiliated. After my reps voted for the pork and spend bills last year, I told them I might as vote for democrats. However, I don't plan to. The point I would like to make is that democrats generally vote 100% for a democrat sponsored bill, whereas the republicans are always stumbling across the aisle to vote against their own best interests. SMH. Term limits is the answer.

One of the things Ronaldus Magnus came to regret was the 1986 amnesty deal which included documenting people and controlling the border from what we see now. The Dems NEVER did the other part of the deal, and they are untrustworthy to EVER hold up their part of an "bargain" or "deal" W Bush had money approved and ready to build a wall-- what happened with that? There is often a quote about only 20 million or so illegals here now-- at the present time, that has probably in the 40-50 million range. Adding 3 million since last October, and 223,000 just last month is unsustainable and will crash our economy. Take the 14th amendment being used to justify births now will increase the rate of overturning our nation and the GRANTING OF AMNESTY to those already here will create an immediate effect the citizenry having their rights to vote taken away to stop any of this. Laura Ingraham an others stopped the mid-90's effort to give amnesty, but just wait, they will bring back the very thing President came to the conclusion that it was a bad idea when the other part of the deal made did not come to fruition--

After reading this article, it is easy to see why half the country has been calling the wimpy Republican Party “the Stupid Party” for so long. These days any legalization program for tens of millions of poor and uneducated illegal aliens, created by the leftist, progressive, or socialist Democrats, that the Democrats usually call “a path to citizenship” legalization program (amnesty) has a duel purpose. To legalize as many poor and uneducated illegal aliens as possible who the Democrats believe are bound to become future Democrat supporters and voters; and that the Democrats believe will cause many of the wimpy Republicans to end up committing long-term political suicide after they cross the aisle and support such a Democrat amnesty.

The laws are fine as they are, just enforce them. Until the present laws are followed I say take a hike to anyone that wants new laws that won't be followed.

Did Sen. Mitch McConnell want a riot on

It’s possible that, without Julie Kelly’s dogged journalistic efforts, almost no one would remember the January 6 martyrs, immured in dirty, cruelly-managed D.C. prisons for the sin of entering the Capitol last January. For 15 months, Kelly has lived and breathed the story, ferreting out every bit of information that the government isn’t hiding from defendants and journalists alike. That knowledge, combined with a book revealing Sen. Mitch McConnell’s feelings about Trump, lead her to suggest that McConnell encouraged the breakdown on January 6 to avoid protest votes against Biden’s assuming the presidency.

From the moment Donald Trump rode down that escalator, the American left began their campaign to destroy the man and prevent him from being elected. Their efforts included falsifying a fraudulent banking scheme, wiretapping his phones, and the fabrication of the Russia hoax. Despite all their devious and illegal plans, to their horror Trump won the election, so they doubled down, determined to drive him from office. For nearly three years, with the aid of the FBI, the DOJ and the CIA, they sought to make absolutely certain he could not be re-elected.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Tuesday said the only way to reduce inflation caused by Joe Biden and the Democrats is to raise taxes on Americans. Senators Schumer and Manchin discussed a new tax hike and deficit reduction bill as a way to combat inflation.

From Breitbart News, April 19: RIVERSIDE COUNTY, California — Four times as much fentanyl is flowing across the United States-Mexico border under President Joe Biden compared to two years prior when former President Trump was in office. The U.S.-Mexican border exists in name only. Joe Biden erased it. His is a wanton act of disregard for the welfare, safety, and security of Americans. Impeachment is a must, should Republicans take charge of the U.S. House next January. Biden’s actions amount to willful dereliction of duty that constitutes “high crimes.” Ranking Biden administration officials running national security or law enforcement departments and agencies are culpable, too.

Conservatives rarely get opportunities to gloat as delicious as the rapid demise of the streaming service CNN+, reportedly the brainchild of Jeff Zucker, the now ex-head of CNN, the man who dragged the cable news pioneer far to the left. The humiliation stains not just Zucker and CNN, but also Chris Wallace, who left Fox News on a high horse, taking aim at Tucker Carlson and the prime-time opinion hosts at the cable news leader. Already shamed by the fact that Fox News Sunday ratings went up after he left, Wallace now has to contend with savage mockery by the two notable ratings champions at his former employer.

The war in Ukraine is a tragedy to watch. Whether or not like Sean Penn, who claims he’s thinking of taking arms to fight Russia, or like most of the corporate media you are rooting for Ukraine and demonizing Russia, you have to admire Ukrainian pluck. You also have to be astonished at the poor performance of the Russian military, who apparently lost their flagship missile cruiser Moskva in the Black Sea either by missile strike (U.S. claim) or accidental fire (Russian claim).

Huber was captured on video chasing Rittenhouse and attempting to hit him with a skateboard before Rittenhouse fatally shot him in the chest during protests on Aug. 25, 2020.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Friday dismissed the shrinking economy and crippling inflation caused by Joe Biden and the Democrat party. The Bureau of Economic Analysis reported Thursday that Biden’s economy is shrinking. The first-quarter GDP contracted 1.4%. Crippling inflation is at a 40-year high. The Biden Regime claims the US inflation rate rose to 8.5% but everyone knows that number is cooked. A reporter asked Pelosi if the shrinking economy and record high inflation is going to have an effect on the 2022 election. Pelosi dismissed the US GDP contracting 1.4% and said the financial woes are just an “aberration.”
