President Trump is “manufacturing a crisis,” Pelosi said. (Pelosi in 2008: “We need to address the issue of illegal immigration and the challenge we have of undocumented people in our country—we certainly don’t want any more coming in.”) Trump’s border wall is “ineffective” and “unnecessary,” Schumer added. (Chuck Schumer in 2009: “630 miles of border fence” made […]

“Mr. President, Keep the Government Closed.”
At The American Spectator, Dov Fischer asks President Trump to keep the government closed for two years if that’s what it takes to get the funding he’s requesting for the wall on the southern border. Fischer writes (abridged): I don’t know about you, but I am enjoying the 25% Government shutdown. I really am. This is […]
A “Wall” for Israel and Hungary Worked Great
David Harsanyi, Senior Editor at The Federalist wonders if Democrats can explain their position that a wall is “immoral.” He writes (abridged): “A wall, in my view, is an immorality.

Biden/Pelosi Raised in a Catholic Church

Can Blue Dogs Survive in Nancy Pelosi’s Congress?
With media attention squarely focused on the foul mouthed and naive Democratic-Socialists elected in 2018, it is easy to forget that the contingent of Democrats who won Nancy Pelosi back her Speakership were from red and purple districts. These more conservative “Blue Dog” Democrats, now make up a decent sized bloc in the new majority. […]

Of Deplorables and Déclassés
Emmanuel Macron, heralded upon his inauguration in France, is now facing the wrath of a people who feel he has forgotten them.

Not about Politics? A Fence or a Wall
What is the difference between a fence and a wall? On immigration, the position of the Nancy Pelosi House (along with many Senate Democrats) is that “fences between countries are sensible and worthy of 10-figure appropriations of taxpayer dollars, but walls in the same locations and serving the same purpose are immoral,” James Freeman notes […]
A Federal Pay Raise – a Terrible Idea
Are Democrats making themselves less believable? Opposing President Trump’s wall between the border of the U.S. and Mexico for budgetary reasons while approving a pay raise for every federal bureaucrat, “only exacerbates the Pelosi/Schumer credibility problem,” explains James Freeman in the WSJ. Regardless of the wall debate, a federal pay raise is a terrible idea […]
