More Democrat grandstanding – this time on the border!
....
U.S. Representative Chip Roy (R-TX) told Breitbart News Dailythat many of the claims made by his Democrat colleagues and media about the Border Patrol facilities housing migrant families and unaccompanied minors are false.
....
He blamed the Democrats for not properly funding the facilities despite months of warnings from Border Patrol officials about the crisis.
....
The congressman explained this was the same thing he was told and witnessed in McAllen, where Democrat representatives, in particular, toured the facility, praised the Border Patrol agents inside,
....
and then “walked right across the street to a camera and looked at the camera and said ‘kids in cages, kids in cages’.”
....
“The idea that they are turning this into a political stunt just tells you everything you need to know about politics in 2019,” Roy concluded, “about their actual concern and compassion for the kids and the safety and sovereignty of our country and the American people, ….”
....
and that they are doing this for cynical political purposes and I’m tired of it.”

Rule of thumb: put a Democrat in front of a camera, and brazen lies will spew forth in service of their political objectives. EVERYTHING is negotiable toward that end!

The Left have been trying to access POTUS’s financial records by hook & by crook. One attempt has been the frivolous lawsuit by two Democrat state AGs that the president violated the Constitution’s emoluments clause. Not so fast, said a 3-judge panel of the 4th Circuit Court:
....
The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Wed dismissed a lawsuit filed by Maryland and the District of Columbia alleging that President Trump is violating the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution, finding that they did not have the standing to sue the president.
....
Maryland and D.C. filed the lawsuit two years ago, alleging that Trump has violated both the foreign and domestic emoluments clauses of the Constitution by continuing to profit from his ownership of the Trump International Hotel while in office.
....
A district court in Maryland originally ruled in their favor, finding that the local governments had standing to file the complaints, as the president’s hotel may draw guests away from government-owned properties.
....
But Wednesday’s ruling found that the lower court did not fully consider the “novel” legal questions raised by such a lawsuit.
....
“To allow such a suit to go forward in the district court without a resolution of the controlling issues by a court of appeals could result in an unnecessary intrusion into the duties and affairs of a sitting President,” [4th Circuit Judge] Niemeyer wrote.
....
The attorneys general of Maryland and Washington, D.C., said shortly after the lawsuit’s filing that they would seek Trump’s tax returns as part of the legal proceedings.

This is the Democrats’ lawfare in operation again, folks. What they can’t win at the ballot box (in this case the presidency) they attack via the legal system through frivolous lawsuits.

Remember the Notre Dame cathedral fire and the legacy media’s pointed lack of context about the rise in anti-Christian attacks in France? Check this out.
....
When fire ravaged the Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris last Apr, many Americans were surprised to hear speculation that the blaze might be tied to a wave of anti-Christian attacks in France & across Europe. It wasn’t — but a wave of anti-Christian attacks? That was news to many.
....
As Richard Bernstein reports for RealClearInvestigations, the violence is all too real & at record levels. And those raising alarms have to contend not just with what they call rising Christianophobia but the near-silence of politicians & major media outlets in the face of it.
....
Anti-Christian attacks have quadrupled since 2008: The French police in 2018 recorded 129 thefts and 877 acts of vandalism at Catholic sites – mostly churches and cemeteries – and there has been no respite this year.
....
The Conference of French Bishops reported 228 “violent anti-Christian acts” in France in the first three months of 2019 alone, taking place in every region of the country – 45 in the Southwest, 20 in the area along the English Channel, 24 in Brittany.
....
The Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination Against Christians, based in Vienna, documented 275 anti-Christian incidents in Europe in 2017, up from 250 the year before.

Chances of legacy media follow-up on this story? Zip, zero, nada. It is axiomatic that the legacy media are the enemy.

Next, we learn that much of the Russian dossier was “made up.” Surely not, Democrats!
....
Rep. Devin Nunes, the ranking Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, said Tuesday he believes the public will soon see that much of the Trump-Russia dossier compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele was “made up.”
....
According to a NY Times report, FBI officials questioned one of Steele’s sources and “came to suspect that the man might have added his own interpretations to reports from his own sources that he passed on to Mr. Steele, calling into question the reliability of the info.”
....
Steele was interviewed as part of Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s probe of how the FBI used the unverified dossier, including its role in obtaining a surveillance warrant against then-Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
....
“The fact remains that they used that garbage that was paid for by a political campaign before a court,” said Nunes, adding that there is info that is “equally as bad or worse” that has not been made public about Steele’s work.

Don’t you just wonder what Steele disclosed to DoJ questioners – especially given the rumors that he figured out that he was being set up as the “fall guy” for the whole #Spygate affair?
