Saying 80-90% of illegal drugs are seized at ports of entry is like saying over 90% of jaywalking tickets are issued near policemen.
Trump is the first president in decades who openly defends the interests of white people. That is why he is hated. That is why he will always be a racist to leftists. They know white people are the final line of defense against global communism. Sounds strange, but it’s true.

Bill Barrs Hot Mess
He arrives at a Justice Department that is in desperate needs of an infusion of credibility.
By Kimberley A. Strassel

Its fitting that William Barrs confirmation as attorney general happened just as two powerful law-enforcement figures were trading accusations involving President Trump. Mr. Barrs greatest challenge isnt antitrust deals, immigration policy or even handling special counsel Robert Mueller. His overriding challenge is to reboot a Justice Department that has shredded its reputation and lost the confidence of Congress and the public.
Its hard to feel confident in law enforcement when a former deputy director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Andrew McCabe, reveals that a small cabal of unelected senior law-enforcement officers held meetings in May 2017 to plot Mr. Trumps removal from office. In an interview with 60 Minutes that aired Thursday and a forthcoming book, Mr. McCabe says he and other officials, including Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, did head-counts of which cabinet officials might vote to declare the president unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office under the 25th Amendment. Mr. McCabe claims Mr. Rosenstein repeatedly offered to wear a wire when meeting with Mr. Trump.
Mr. Rosenstein, whos expected to resign soon, responded Thursday with a Justice Department statement blasting the claims as factually incorrect and highlighting that Mr. McCabe was fired for lying to the departments inspector general. The rest of the statement was pure spin, in which Mr. Rosenstein never denied the McCabe claims.
Thats the Justice Department Mr. Barr arrives to leada hot mess of finger-pointing, leaks, planted press narratives, obstruction and extraordinary self-righteousness. Since the FBI presumed to investigate two active presidential campaigns, more than two dozen Justice and FBI officials have been fired, demoted or resigned. Yet no one in authority has acknowledged the mistakes that led to this bloodbath, explained how these institutions failed so spectacularly, or offered a plan for ending the dysfunction.
Thats Mr. Barrs opening. For the first time in this presidency, the Justice Department will have a leader who is apart from the Russia stinkneither accused of collusion nor obsessed with finding it. Hes also uniquely suited to understand the importance of credibility and accountability, having worked in the 1970s at the Central Intelligence Agency, then under intense fire. The first measure of the independence Mr. Barr promised in his confirmation hearings will be his ability to assess ruthlessly the institution hes about to join and come clean with the public on two key questionsthe whether and the how of 2016.
Whether the Justice Departments and FBIs most controversial actions were appropriate. Is it acceptable for the FBI to use opposition research as an excuse to surveil a political campaign? To use back channels to stay in touch with sources it fired? To open counterintelligence investigations (as opposed to criminal ones) into political figures? To actively hide those investigations from congressional overseers? To hold meetings about removing presidents? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, Americans deserve to know that this is the brave new world they live in.
If not, how did it happen, and how can leaders make sure it never happens again? What protections are there against the clear bias that permeated law enforcements upper ranks (Peter Strzok), or insubordination (Jim Comey) or obsessive media cultivation (Mr. McCabe)? What are the lines of authority, and what are the consequences for breaking the rules? How is it (as we learned this week from newly revealed emails) that Hillary Clintons lawyer, David Kendall, was able to reach the FBIs general counsel on the phone? How many Americans get that courtesy? The public will never trust a law-enforcement agency that has different standards for the powerful, or appears to prosecute only in one political direction, or operates as a law unto itself.
This accounting is important for the country, but also for the Justice Department and FBI themselvesand their ability to protect the country. Lawmakers, for instance, remain furious about the abuse of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Its a bedrock tool for combating terrorism, yet it was stretched for use against American citizens involved in political campaigns. Top Republicans have made clear they will refuse to reauthorize parts of FISA until the Justice Department acknowledges that it overstepped its bounds and explains what reforms it will take.
Mr. Barr may be tempted to fob all this off on the investigations by the U.S. attorney for Utah, John Huber, or the Justice Department inspector general. But Mr. Huber appears to have done little by way of investigation, the inspector generals report could still be a long way out, and in any event these questions merit answers from the nations top legal officer. Mr. Barr needs this job like he needs a hole in the head. But if he spends the next years rebuilding trust in federal law enforcement, hell have performed an immense public service.
