Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
There is just no good reason why any average citizen needs to own g…er…knives? – The murder rate in London surpassed that of New York City for the first time ever in February, as Islamic-driven knife killings continue to grow in the gun-banning metropolis. As of this writing, no one at CNN had asked David Hogg for his views on London’s pressing need to ban knives. But it seems to be just a matter of time.
Speaking of the ever-more annoying Mr. Hogg, he’s gonna have some ‘splainin’ to do with his CNN masters next time he goes in for an interview. That’s because on Sunday he made the mistake of posing for a photo with Javier Manjarres, a Republican congressional candidate who is challenging Democrat incumbent Ted Deutch.
As if the sin of paling around with a – gasp! – Republican wasn’t damning enough in the eyes of everyone at the fakest of all fake news outlets, Hogg’s error was made even more unforgivable by the fact that Manjarres was wearing a t-shirt that depicts President Donald Trump urinating on the CNN logo (see below). Oh, my, CNN might have to go find itself another gun-banning teenager to exploit.
Headlines we never saw during the Obama years… – The Wall Street Journal reports that the big economic issue facing Iowa and much of the rest of the American midwest is that there are too many jobs and not enough workers to fill them.
According to the Journal:
“It is a problem playing out in many parts of the Midwest, a region with lower unemployment and higher job-opening rates than the rest of the country. Employers, especially in more rural areas, are finding that there are just too few workers. That upends a long-running view in Washington, D.C., and many state capitals, where policy makers often say the unemployed simply lack the skills to get hired.”
Should the pace of economic growth and job creation experienced in the 14 months of the Trump Administration continue for another 14 months, this midwest-based “problem” will inevitably spread to other parts of the country. This is an almost inevitable outcome as the overall economy approaches full employment.
Of course, there will be exceptions to the rule, isolated pockets of the country where chronic unemployment levels will persist and people will remain addicted to the public dole. Those pockets of economic under-performance are easy to predict: They go by names like Chicago, Washington, DC, Baltimore, Detroit, Los Angeles, San Francisco, New Orleans, Philadelphia and other big cities that have been governed by Democrats for decades. It’s the way Democrat politicians like it to be.
DACA is dead, and NAFTA could be next, if Mexican officials don’t act to halt the caravan of more than 1200 Central American nationals that has been making its way through their country unimpeded over the last few days. At least, that’s what President Trump said on his Twitter feed yesterday and early this morning, and as we have seen so many times in the past, the President doesn’t just toss stuff like this out there for no good reason.
The tweet storm began on Sunday morning, with these two Presidential messages:
“Border Patrol Agents are not allowed to properly do their job at the Border because of ridiculous liberal (Democrat) laws like Catch & Release. Getting more dangerous. “Caravans” coming. Republicans must go to Nuclear Option to pass tough laws NOW. NO MORE DACA DEAL!”
and..
“Mexico is doing very little, if not NOTHING, at stopping people from flowing into Mexico through their Southern Border, and then into the U.S. They laugh at our dumb immigration laws. They must stop the big drug and people flows, or I will stop their cash cow, NAFTA. NEED WALL!”
Mr. Trump expanded on this theme with three more tweets this morning, concluding with:
“DACA is dead because the Democrats didn’t care or act, and now everyone wants to get onto the DACA bandwagon… No longer works. Must build Wall and secure our borders with proper Border legislation. Democrats want No Borders, hence drugs and crime!”
So, after 7 months of publicly holding out hope that the cynical Democrats might want to make a deal in which DACA gets extended in exchanged for wall funding and other immigration reforms, the President has finally figured out that the Dems never had any intention of making any such deal, preferring instead to keep the DACA kids in limbo so they can exploit the issue in the November midterm elections. Ok, he knew that all along, but it’s good to see him abandoning all pretense, and calling things as they really are.
The problem the President has here is that there is literally no reason at all to expect the Senate Republicans to “go nuclear” or even lift a finger at all in an effort to change the immigration laws. At least half of the GOP caucus in the senate favors chain migration and the insane “diversity lottery” system in their eagerness to attract campaign money from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
Sadly, it is up to the President alone to stop the ongoing invasion coming across our southern border. If the President wants to build his long-promised wall, he’ll have to find a way to get it done using his emergency powers and the defense budget, as we discussed last week. Expecting Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell to do anything about it is just a waste of time and energy.
Given the President’s past use of his Twitter feed as a prelude to taking action, we should expect him to take some form of emergency executive action to address the border situation in the coming days.
Just another day in the southern invasion continues and congress doesn’t care America.
That is all.

Today’s news moves at a faster pace than ever. Whatfinger.com is my go-to source for keeping up with all the latest events in real time.
Haven’t read the details but on the source page, noted immediately the picture of Hogg (he’s everywhere!). This time though, I think he will have p1ss3d off his CNN benefactors, pun intended.
Hope he does something, rather than just talk about it. It’s a national security issue.
Hogg looks like he’s lost weight and he didn’t have any to lose.

And there is another problem thats about as large and it is on the western border
(pacific coast). There are now about as many coming in from that area as are
crossing the southern border. The difference is these come in legally via visas
and don’t leave when the visa expires.
Hogg is an indoctrinated bully and ignorant puppet of the left who’s hardly one to judge anything..his statement calling Republicans “sick f–kers” for not meeting his demands on gun reform and other similar foul mouthed comments. He’ll be kicked to the curb as soon as his novelty wears thin.
I'd wager he knew it when he made the offer and also knew he'd be making the recent tweets....
No, his body didn’t shrink, it’s just his growing ego making his head get more inflated.
Now he's physically emaciated for life, which has a lot to do with his state of mental health.
One might find some sympathy for him if he weren't such an opportunistic punk who has never expressed a single GAF for any of the families of his dead classmates.
