Trump was right to send troops to our border – Presidents of both parties have done it
Gen. Anthony J. Tata
From the comments on Lucianne:
To those who have no knowledge of history, or those who choose to ignore history, everything is new, without precedent, and too often subject to criticism.
FTA:
...
In 1989, President George H.W. Bush deployed U.S. military forces to the border to work in concert with the Border Patrol to strengthen our defenses against increasingly problematic infiltrators. This organization was named Task Force 6, now Task Force North, and has continuously provided the U.S. Border Patrol with intelligence, support and necessary shows of force.
...
Why does President Trump now receive criticism for securing our borders? Three reasons:
First, whatever President Trump does, the left reflexively supports the opposing position.
...
Second, the progressive left no longer sees America as the beacon of hope for the rest of the world.
...
Third, progressives view every success achieved by President Trump as the further unraveling of President Obama’s legacy.
...
Remember the “fundamental change” Obama promised? That change was the dismantling of American ideals.
The left’s plaintive wail today is not only the echoing sound of protesters kneeling in the streets and screaming on November 9, 2016 – the day after President Trump was elected; it is also the sound of the aircraft carrier turning on a dime.
...
And they have the nerve to call Trump Hitler?????

Merkel: EU States Must Prepare to Hand National Sovereignty over to Brussels
FTA:
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has said that European Union (EU) member states must be prepared to transfer powers over to Brussels at a debate on the ‘tensions’ between globalisation and national sovereignty.
“Nation states must today be prepared to give up their sovereignty,” Merkel said, speaking at an event organised by the Konrad Adenauer Foundation in Berlin on Wednesday.
“In an orderly fashion of course,” Merkel said, explaining that — while Germany had given up some of its sovereignty in order to join the EU, national parliaments were in charge of deciding whether to sign up to international treaties.
Trust and the willingness to compromise are vital in addressing tensions between sovereignty and globalisation, asserted the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) leader, highlighting the controversial UN migration pact, debate over which has continued to split her own party.
Merkel condemned the fact that, in discussions over whether Germany should join a fast-growing number of nations pulling out of the agreement, “there were [politicians] who believed that they could decide when these agreements are no longer valid because they are representing The People”.
