The real time fake fact checking chyron and Nancy and Chucks rebuttal should be a hoot. Go Trump!!!

In the long run, history will validate Donald Trump's stand on a border wall to defend the sovereignty and security of the United States. Why? Because mass migration from the global South, not climate change, is the real existential crisis of the West. The American people know this, and even the elites sense it. Think not? Well, check out the leading liberal newspapers Thursday. The Washington Post and The New York Times each had two front-page stories about the president's battle with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer on funding the border wall. Inside the first section, the Post had...

The Democrats are no more serious about border security today than they were when they falsely promised Ronald Reagan in 1986 that they'd secure the border in exchange for amnesty for some 3 million illegal immigrants. Democrats are experts at seducing Republicans into abandoning their principled commitments. Over and over again, in contentious political skirmishes, Republicans relent in good faith -- after accepting the Democrats' promise to deliver on their side of the bargain in the future -- and immediately deliver their side. But that future never comes. In legal parlance, this is fraud in the inducement. In his notorious...

<p>Here’s what’s up with the partial government shutdown on Day 21.</p> <p>The shutdown sets a new record, matching the longest stoppage yet: a 21-day closure that ended Jan. 6, 1996, during President Bill Clinton’s administration.</p> <p>Financial pain hits some 800,000 federal workers who will not receive paychecks they were due on Friday.</p>

Tweets and video at link. Sarah Huckabee Sanders and CNN correspondent Jim Acosta sparred on social media on Thursday after the White House press secretary thanked Acosta for bolstering the Trump administration's argument for a border wall. Acosta posted images from the border near McAllen, Texas, of a steel-slat barrier, chain-link fence and razor-wire, and reported there was "no sign of the national emergency that the president's been talking about." His tweet came as President Trump visited the area to drum up support for his proposed wall along the U.S.-Mexico border amid an ongoing government shutdown. "When I went with...

Mexico City -- Mexican authorities said Thursday that 21 bodies, some burned, have been found in the northern Mexico border state of Tamaulipas in what appears to have been a clash between drug gangs. The bodies were found near the remains of seven burned-out vehicles near the border town of Miguel Aleman.

<p>NEW YORK - An estimated 35.3 million people saw President Donald Trump and Democratic leaders speak to the nation on border security and the partial government shutdown.</p> <p>That's about 10 million fewer viewers than Trump had for his 2018 State of the Union address. The Nielsen company said Wednesday it was similar to President Barack Obama's 2014 presidential address on fighting the Islamic state, which was seen by 34 million people.</p>

Liberal music superstar Cher is holding congressional Democrats’ feet to the fire amid the ongoing partial government shutdown. It came after President Trump delivered a prime-time address from the Oval Office on Tuesday night making the case for funding the border wall, which was followed by a response from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., who argued that the president must reopen the government in order to continue conversations about border security. Cher then took to Twitter to blast the president for promising that Mexico would pay for the wall and demanded him to...

Scott Adams has been doing the kind of investigative work that mainstream journalists won't do. This is a eye opening interview with Breitbart's Brandon Darby who is at the border gathering intelligence from anonymous sources.  Brandon is a hero and is putting his life on the line speaking out. In fact, the big takeaway from the talk is that the crisis at the border is causing massive bloodshed and crime at the border, killing tens of thousands of Mexicans and Central American citizens. Brandon, who speaks Spanish and English, reveals many interesting and unheard opinions.  The border a highly...

Congressional Democratic leaders have embraced the goal of increased border security in their fight with President Trump, proposing measures to harden the U.S. ports of entry — but omitting the barrier they supported five years ago. The ports of entry, which account for roughly 2.5 percent of the 2,000-mile U.S.-Mexico border, represent a small fraction of the security measures, including hundreds of miles of border fence, that every Senate Democrat supported before Donald Trump became president. Democrats now are limiting the security measures they back to sending more customs officials and deploying new technology at the 48 ports of entry...

The federal government has started surveying land along the border in Texas and announced plans to start construction next month. Rather than surrender their land, some property owners are digging in, vowing to reject buyout offers and preparing to fight the administration in court. "You could give me a trillion dollars and I wouldn't take it," said Cavazos, whose land sits along the Rio Grande, the river separating the U.S. and Mexico in Texas. "It's not about money." Congress in March funded 33 miles (53 kilometers) of walls and fencing in Texas. The government has laid out plans that would...

Illegal immigration across the southwest border actually ticked down in December — though the number of illegal immigrant families still shattered records with nearly 32,000 caught trying to jump the border, officials said Wednesday. The 31,901 parents and children traveling together and nabbed by Border Patrol agents last month is a 27 percent increase over November, and is nearly twice the worst months of the Obama years. But other categories of illegal immigrants dropped, with fewer unaccompanied children caught at the border or stopped at the ports of entry, Homeland Security said. The numbers came a day after President Trump...

Once again his political instincts prove accurate. But I’m glad he gave the speech anyway. We got some sweet-ass Pelosi/Schumer memes out of it. They look like rich parents being told their loutish son just got kicked out of college again pic.twitter.com/49ZUXSHbyn— Allahpundit (@allahpundit) January 9, 2019 Here’s the Times reporting on POTUS’s pre-speech lunch with TV hosts yesterday. Attendees weren’t allowed to discuss publicly what Trump said to them, but that doesn’t mean they couldn’t gossip to their colleagues in the media: Yet privately, Mr. Trump dismissed his own new strategy as pointless. In an off-the-record lunch with...

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is making herself an even bigger headache to her fellow Democrats, giving a wild third response to President Trump's speech, which pretty well eclipses the Democrats' carefully crafted messaging. Which shows just what a mess the Democrats are these days, and how she's happy to be their problem. ~snip~ But that was the least of it. Now we have incoming, buck-private-ranked, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez weighing in for a third Democratic response, the voice of the radical left, and her messaging was way out in left field compared to the other two. Pelosi and Schumer, whatever the weakness of...

The Democrats have closed their ears to the cries of anguish of their own citizenry Led by top Dem donkeys Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer Democrats tried a play last night to make as many in the masses as deranged about reality as they are. They want the masses to repeat after them that the border crisis isn’t happening—their most outrageous denial of them all. Flatly denying the border crisis hasn’t saved a single life in 40 years. Pelosi has been in public office for 31 years, Schumer for 38 years., making Almost 70 years between them.

Five Republican Senators reintroduced the WALL Act Tuesday, a bill to fully fund a wall along the U.S. southern border. “Their legislation, first introduced last December, is also the first bill that will fund the wall by identifying specific funding sources,” read a Tuesday announcement from the five senators. The five are Senators are Jim Inhofe (R-OK), Mike Rounds (R-SD), John Kennedy (R-LA), Ted Cruz (R-TX), and Bill Cassidy (R-LA)

A humanitarian and security crisis at the southern border must be addressed, President Donald Trump told the country last night in his first Oval Office address. His speech also addressed the flow of drugs and crime, the high rates of abuse associated with human trafficking, and the use of children as pawns to thwart laws protecting the U.S. border from illegal entry.“This is the tragic reality of illegal immigration on our southern border. This is the cycle of human suffering that I am determined to end,” Trump said, laying out a plan that includes drug-detection technology, increased border agents...

I tuned in to Fox TV to watch Trump's Speech on Border Security anchored by none other than Shepard Smith ( and supported by Chris Wallace ). I was hoping that Fox would at least give some balanced report on Donald Trump's speech unlike the other alphabet channel's pundits. But just like that Shep Smith, just a few seconds after Trump finished his speech gave the following "refutation" (Note the quotes) of Trump's points ( I think Smith had already prepared his talking points having seen the contents of Trump's speech before hand ): 1) On average, the crime rate...

As much as they hate to admit it now, national Democrats were against illegal immigration before they were for it. All quotes guaranteed verbatim: Barack Obama, 2005: “We simply cannot allow people to pour into the U.S. undocumented, undetected, unchecked, circumventing the people who are waiting patiently, diligently, lawfully to become immigrants in this country.” Hillary Clinton, 2014: “I voted numerous times when I was a senator to spend money to build a barrier to try to prevent illegal immigrants from coming in and I do think you have to control your borders.” Sen. Chuck Schumer, 2009: “People who enter...
