From Steve Kruiser:
“Trump is also aware that there is no guarantee that the GOP will continue his work when this term is done, so he knows that he has to assume that making America great again is all on him. It would be nice to believe that he’s getting things moving in the right direction for years to come, but we have all met the Republican Party.”
…which explains all the Democrat screaming about deportations:
REMINDER: The reason Democrat judges are fighting so hard to keep illegals – even the criminal aliens – is all about control of the House. If illegals were removed or not counted for apportionment Democrats would lose 10 seats in the house giving the GOP a 27 seat advantage.
I forget who said it (Bierce and Mencken are the two major candidates), but it’s only half-true:
“When politicians talk, no matter the topic, it’s always about money.”
I’d modify that only slightly, to make it true:
“When Democrat politicians talk, no matter the topic, it’s always about power.”
Sent to me by Reader Greg S., this little pearl from Julius Malema, head of South Africa’s Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) political party:
“I’m willing to condemn murder, but not of white people.”
Fair enough; but I’m likewise willing to condemn political assassination, but not of Julius Malema.
See how that works, asshole?
From Pam Geller:
“Islam’s modus operandi is as follows: when Muslims are in a minority in countries to which they have migrated they claim Islam is a religion of peace. Once their numbers increase they start to agitate for considerations unavailable to non-Muslims in those countries under the guise of obtaining civil liberties. When they gain power it’s, ‘Do as we say or we will kill you.’ That is how a country loses its culture, its values and its traditions.”
This taken from here, which follows on from several articles on Islamist expansion and Shari’a promotion, mine included.
My opinion? It’s time we put an asterisk on the First Amendment, in that “religion” paragraph.
From Reader Mike L., in response to this article‘s headline:
Toy prices in the US could increase by ‘high double digits’ because of tariffs on China | CNN Business
“Oh no! I can’t buy plastic toys with lead paint on them from China cheaply anymore??? Oh, the humanity!”
From Rick Moran:
“It’s not immoral to refuse to take people in. Those who claim we have an ‘obligation’ to feed, house, clothe, educate, and cure tens of millions of suffering people do not live in the real world.”
Yeah, the “Give me your poor” etc. words on the Statue of Liberty are just words on a statue, not official U.S. policy.
