Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
Warning to all my Houston friends – downtown’s going to be a mess today. – With more than 100,000 ticket requests having now come in for spots in the 19,000-seat Toyota Center, supporters of President Donald Trump and Texas Senator Ted Cruz began lining up for admission at 8:00 Sunday morning for tonight’s rally. City officials announced Sunday night that portions of six different downtown streets will be blocked off all day today as part of the Secret Service’s security operation for the event.
Downtown Houston’s traffic scene is a mess on any weekday. Today, it’s going to be a nightmare. If your employer lets you work from home, today would be a great day to take advantage of that benefit.
By the way, your fake news media wants you to believe that most of these people lining up to wait more than 24 hours to get into that arena to attend a political rally aren’t going to take the hour or so necessary to actually cast votes in this election. Your fake news media is in for a very rude awakening over the next couple of weeks.
Um…Jim…we’re “skeptics” because the leftwing bias shows in the media’s reporting, not its social media snark. – Jim VandeHei, the CEO and co-Founder of Axios, has a little piece this morning in which he gives his fellow fakenewsers this advice:
“News organizations should ban their reporters from doing anything on social media — especially Twitter — beyond sharing stories. Snark, jokes and blatant opinion are showing your hand, and it always seems to be the left one. This makes it impossible to win back the skeptics.”
As is typical of these fake news media moguls, this completely misses the point. People are “skeptics” because of all of the news faking that goes on in the media’s reporting, not in its social media snarking. All the social media activity does is demonstrate clearly what we already know, which is that 98% of our national news media has a strong leftwing, anti-Trump bias, and that bias shows up every day in its fake reporting. Mr. VandeHei’s advice here is not to do something to get that bias out of the reporting, but to make the confirmation of it stop showing up in social media.
In other words, as has become sadly typical of fake news media executives, his goal is to eliminate transparency in the media. And these people wonder why tens of millions of ordinary Americans consider them to be an enemy.
This isn’t a “caravan of migrants”, it’s an invasion. – After being briefly halted at the border between Mexico and Guatemala, the invading force of overwhelmingly-military-aged males from Central America was allowed to restart its progress northwards by Mexican officials on Sunday.
The force of supposed “asylum seekers” mainly from Honduras began the day 2,000 strong, but somehow had ballooned to more than 7,000 by nightfall. So obviously, this is now a caravan made up mainly of Mexican citizens, yet our fake news media continues to characterize it as a bunch of Honduran asylum-seekers.
Let’s be honest about what this really is: This is not a “caravan of asylum-seekers,” it is an invasion. Virtually all of the people interviewed by the fake U.S. media openly state they are coming to America for work, not out of any fear or mistreatment in their home country. Wanting a better job is not a valid reason to seek asylum in the U.S. or pretty much any other country on earth, yet our fake news media continues to misinform the public.
This is an invasion, and the truth is that neither the Democrats nor establishment, Chamber of Commerce Republicans care to do anything about it. The Republicans want the cheap labor, the Democrats want what they view as future voters, and they’re all just fine with having the public schools in border states overwhelmed with non-English-speaking children and our housing and social services overwhelmed by people who lack the skills to fend for themselves.
Mexican officials have obviously lied to President Trump about their ability – or, more likely, willingness – to prevent the invading force from transiting the length of their country to the U.S./Mexico border, so it appears likely that a force far larger than its current 7,000 will arrive at the border sometime around Election Day. Which, of course, has been the plan all along by those who have organized and funded the invasion.
President Trump has few real options on how to deal with the problem. He could honestly declare a state of emergency given that this truly is an invasion of our Southern border, and bring in U.S. military forces to actually shut the border down. But would shut down not just illegal immigration, but also the massive amounts of trade that takes place across that border every day, exacting a major economic cost. It’s a real conundrum, but U.S. immigration law leaves the President with few other choices.
Make no mistake about it: This is what the whole media/Democrat-generated hysteria over “we can’t separate the families!” was all about earlier this year. They wanted to force the re-implementation of the Bush/Obama-era “catch and release” program in which illegal immigrants are processed, held briefly at the border, and then simply released into the general population, never to be seen again. And they succeeded in forcing that policy back into place.
Thus, when this invading force – which could grow immensely larger than its current size as it transits Mexico – arrives at the border in early November, this is what the law will require the Trump Administration to do absent shutting down the border.
And remember: On December 1, a new President, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO), will take office in Mexico. Mr. Obrador has long advocated not just that Mexican citizens should be allowed into the United States, but that they have an absolute “human right” to do so at their own volition. Here is what AMLO had to say about this matter in June:
“Soon, very soon, after the victory of our movement, we will defend migrants all over the American continent and the migrants of the world who, by necessity, must abandon their towns to find life in the United States,” Lopez Obrador said during a rally in the Mexican city of Culiacán, eluniversal.com reports. “It’s a human right we will defend,” he added.
It’s an invasion, plain and simple: Highly-organized, well-funded, and President Trump appears to be the only person in Washington, D.C. interested in doing anything to bring it to a halt.
That is all.

It should be a matter of national security to expose who is the driving force behind the systematic movement of human beings into our southern border.
The media would have us believe that’s all genuine grassroots exodus from places with bad conditions, part of which is not untrue. But half truths are not truth. The other parts of the story are that there are people/entities/organizations that are spurring them and even organizing them, and the other part is that these “migrations” are a shield for the movement of more than just migrants. If this is a conspiracy theory, prove it;
DRUGS
CRIME
You don’t take matters of national security of the output of the media narrative. Intelligence is about information. As much of it as possible, and drilling down to causal factors.
The only positive thing is that it is right around the election, with a mad Republican base.

The whole thing is scripted... the trail north is only the first chapter(s). What happens at the border is already being planned out. The media will be there in droves. The narratives are already on paper ready to go. If the people behind this thing that you seem to indicate is coincidentally timed with the election have their way, this will be family separation type drama x10. Coincidence? hah

Any legislator who advocates “open borders” invalidates their authority under the Constitution of These United States. They should be tried for sedition as they are subverting the very document that establishes their authority.
Invaded is correct. Build the damned wall, and shoot anyone coming around or over it.
“It’s an invasion, plain and simple: Highly-organized, well-funded,”
I sincerely hope that they are trying to find the funding source for these invaders.
“But would shut down not just illegal immigration, but also the massive amounts of trade that takes place across that border every day, exacting a major economic cost.”
I don’t think they would have to shut down the entire border. They are travelling, at least for the moment, in a pack and their point of entry would be limited. The entire border does not need to be shut down, only the likely crossing points.
1. Bring in the military to reduce illegal entry in the surrounding area and help enforce process.
2. Isolate the applicants from normal traffic as much as possible.
3. Tell them we will give them one week of food while they sit in Mexico (a very humanitarian act). They can sleep on the ground.
4. Put them through the normal legal process no matter how long it takes.
5. It may be practical to deliver the rejects somewhere far away to disperse the crowd (Venezuela?). Maybe take their DNA for future immigration efficiency.
Above all, uphold the law. No exceptions.
There is only one way this is going to be stopped: Some of them are going to have to be shot/killed....period.
So, with that said, post expert snipers to take out the thug males, and then warn the women/children that they will be next IF they do not turn around and leave.
After a few of em are shot, the rest will gladly, and quickly, return back to their shit holes.
You are correct! This is an all out assault on our National Security and our Sovereignty. It MUST be stopped and personally, I do not care a whit how this is accomplished.
If our Federal Government is unwilling to do that which is required of them, then it is up to us, the American People to take matters into our own hands.
REMEMBER THE ALAMO! REMEMBER GOLIAD!
When I say that it’s a matter of National Security to find out who is behind the organizing of these fake, media-centric migrations, it’s not to to come to the conclusion that the last two posts did. If you are advocating the sniping of anyone who is not on the field of battle engaged in hostilities toward Americans as a solution... I don’t even have words. Killing “migrants” whether real or fake is both un-american as well as political suicide.
We need to get to the bottom of who is behind all this (funding, leadership, organization) because it is promoting a situation that compromises national security for a whole slew of reasons. I didn’t even bring up terrorism in my first post because it sounds like alarmist conspiracy theory on it’s face, but in point of fact if people debating a topic online somewhere can think of using it a point of entry, then any terrorist organization or cell can certainly think it up... because well, that’s what they do!
Creating a huge show out of our porous border is actually a potential benefit, but you cannot let them frame it as a humanitarian problem because the reasons behind it are far far far more nefarious than hungry people looking for freedom.
This whole thing needs to be exposed, and the time to do it is yesterday.
You’re not shooting anyone. Enough of that is being done already, with cameras
The wall doesn’t even stop most of these people. The media let them in by showing pictures of children without their parents in our custody.
IF ANYONE IN THE MEDIA AND IN THE COUNTRY CARED ABOUT THE HUMANITARIAN STATE OF THESE PEOPLE, THEY WOULD BE GOING WALL-TO-WALL ON THE CRISIS IN THOSE COUNTRIES.
But they don’t care about any of that.
Organized by the democrat mob, with money from soros, and probably with the willing help of bho.
Timed to become a “crisis” just before the elections. They will probably stage some kind of disaster to jerk as many tears from the hysterics as possible and blame Trump.
Lopez you Mexican bastard did it ever occur to you to provide your people with a better life, tu puto!
What happened to the group in Mar/Apr that came up from down Honduras way?
Didn’t they make it to the border somewhere south of San Diego?
“...You’re not shooting anyone. Enough of that is being done already, with cameras...”
BS. Until they are STOPPED, they will continue....and continue...and continue with their numbers getting larger and larger with every trip until the entire country is totally invaded and overrun.
FWIW, they are not “migrants”. Migrants have a legal means to migrate. They’re paid invaders on the “field of battle” to invade our country. And now, we hearing that there are possibly middle-eastern terrorists among them. It is NOT un-American to repel an invasion force by defending our borders and our country. It is UN-American NOT TO!!
The time has come to use the BIG STICK (both financially and militarily) but with a very fair and clear warning to stop this once and for all.
Who’s behind it? Most likely Soros and his Globalist trash along with assistance from Obama and his ilk. They timed it with the mid-terms...that ought to tell you something.
We need to find out who is organizing this. They f they are foreign withhold all funds for their government until they are jailed, if they are natural citizens of the US arrest them and put them on trial for subversion. If they are naturalized pull their citizenship papers and deport them.
Find out who is financing this and fine them in the amount this has cost us over the years.
This situation has angered me, spent all weekend being in a semi-rage about it.
I think the POTUS MUST close the border for at least a few weeks. He has threatened to do so, and I think he needs to act on that threat.
No doubt some leftist judge will grant a delay. Then POTUS needs to go to the SCOTUS on an emergency basis. I expect they will find that he has the authority to protect the border.
He should announce, say this afternoon, that the southern border will be closed indefinitely, beginning in 24 hours. Then maybe some of those would seek asylum in Mexico or turn around and return to their homes.
JMHO. If this is a flawed strategy, please set me straight.
Ok,sounds like Mexico just declared war on the United States,so let’s have at it,a plus is we obliterate the drug cartels as the Mexican government
