I realize I could be wrong, but the “optics” keep me thinking extraction.
Hands cuffed in front. Book in cuffed hands. Allowed to flash the cover of the book. Arresting officers seen trying not to smirk.

You are a blessing and a comfort! Many thanks for that.
If you read this article, you will see that people are paid off at every single step of the journey north, which is why railroads, police, military and border guards don’t do anything to stop it. We took over Iraq because Saddam could be a pain in the ass sometimes. His regime did .01 percent of the harm to us that Mexico does eery year. We might need to consider our priorities.

Can you see their kids jumping up and down in front of the TV yelling “There’s Daddy!”
I wonder if they follow their own advice.
Maybe suggest articles to each other and discuss them.
It can really shake you up. Try to imagine a selfie of Michael J Fox.
Some of the bridges that serve that railroad might meet with an unfortunate accident (of course when not in use). That would slow things down.
“Journalists” feeling the Pain:
For the first time in recent memory, the White House Correspondents Dinner did not have a comedian emcee its annual dinner. Instead, the president of the White House Correspondents Association, Olivier Knox, delivered a solemn address to open up the usually jubilant evening.
Knox focused his remarks on the threat he said the White House is putting journalists under.
“I don’t want to dwell on the president,” Knox said while discussing President Trump. “This is not his dinner. It’s ours, and it should stay ours. But I do want to say this. In nearly 23 years as a reporter I’ve been physically assaulted by Republicans and Democrats, spat on, shoved, had crap thrown at me. I’ve been told I will never work in Washington again by both major parties.”
“And yet I still separate my career to before February 2017 and what came after,” Know continued. “And February 2017 is when the president called us the enemy of the people. A few days later my son asked me, ‘Is Donald Trump going to put you in prison?” At the end of a family trip to Mexico he mused if the president tried to keep me out of the country, at least Uncle Josh is a good lawyer and will get you home.”
Journalists in the Trump era are under physical threat, Knox said somberly.
“I’ve had to tell my family not to touch packages on our stoop,” he told the crowd. “My name is on a statement criticizing the president for celebrating a congressman’s criminal assault on a reporter. I’ve had death threats, including one this week. Too many of us have. It shouldn’t need to be said in a room full of people who understand the power of words but fake news and enemies of the people are not punch lines, pet names or presidential. And we should reject politically expedient assaults on the men and women whose hard work makes it possible to hold the powerful to account.”

I’ve consciously not done that because Lyn only responds with volumes of horrible liberal articles when I send her anything, and wants to argue with me about them. Instead, I try hard to find areas where we can agree so we can choose to disagree on areas of abortion and climate change and Trump and... Some of her positions are just hard for me to even talk about. And, yes, she does consciously look for a few conservative articles. She just doesn’t believe them.
Yeah, probably a pederast, with a the occasional boy on the side.
Like Bonnie Fwank.

I thought you might! Thanks for posting it. My picture posting is hit or miss.
Good. They should be for what they have done to our country.

...and my question to this ‘reporter’ would be: “Who caused all this???”
My answer is the Clintons and the Clinton Foundation and the demoRATS and their unsaintly way of living their lives, the lies they tell, the stories they make up...
It used to be, many years ago, that you could believe what you heard and what you read, you can’t do that anymore...nothing the media, radio, tv has on is truth, it’s all lies, and they have no one to blame along with themselves in believing in the wrong principles of life...
I don’t know anything about his personal relationships, but I have no high opinion of politicians. I would distrust him as a political sort, not as gay. My father-in-law was in the Illinois Assembly and I remember being at a bar with him in Springfield. He pointed out the head of a committee who was bunnyhopping thru the bar with a woman not his wife. I came away deeply disgusted with politicians, in general, and of the belief that politicians should always be forced to have their families with them where they legislate.
Extremely timely and fascinating thread, well worth reading, even though long. No opinoin, just fact. Note the kill box at the end.... I had forgotten about the change of succession at the DOJ!

Let’s take a moment to discuss Ben Rhodes. Ben Rhodes official White House title was Deputy National Security Adviser to the President.
I have a few thoughts i’d like to lay out.
As Dep NSA, Ben Rhodes had a very famous boss. Ben’s immediate supervisor was Obama’s Natl Security Adviser Susan Rice.
Formerly Ambassador to UN Susan Rice.
Susan Rice is famous for all the wrong reasons, starting with pushing a known lie to cover up the terror attack on Americans In Benghazi, the ones Obama admin left to die.
Rice went on TV to blame a youtube video as internal State Dept emails prove they knew it was Al Qaeda.
This report from @SharylAttkisson lays that all out beautifully. It also resulted in the Obama @FBI hacking her computers & illegally spying on her.
Susan Rice moved up in the world when Obama beat Mittens Romney. He promoted her to National Security Adviser & he chose Ben Rhodes as her deputy.

Ben Rhodes appointment. I wonder why he had problems getting a security clearance from an FBI that literally gave them to known threats?
Hacked Emails Suggest FBI Denied Security Clearance for Top Obama National Security Advisor
Emails published by Wikileaks that were purportedly hacked from an account belonging to Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta suggest a top national security
Also very interesting is who succeeded Susan Rice at the key post of UN Ambassador- Samantha J Power.

Do you know what Samantha J Power is most famous for?
Allow me to refresh your memory, readers.
Samantha Power sought to unmask Americans on almost daily basis, sources say
Samantha Power, the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, was ‘unmasking’ at such a rapid pace in the final months of the Obama administration that she averaged more than one request for ever…
Now that’s profound, & would have certainly alarmed NSA Dir Adm Rogers & NSA IG- there’s *zero* legit reason for Power to be unmasking *any* Americans. Her job had zero need to know for that info.
I have grave doubts about Power honesty, especially under oath, but this is interesting- she claims ‘others’ were unmasking in her name, but her signature is on the docs.
Trey Gowdy: Samantha Power testified that intel officials made ‘unmasking’ requests in her name
House Oversight & Government Reform Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy said Tuesday that President Obama’s former United Nations ambassador has testified that not all of the “unmasking” requests made in h…
Because Power’ job was directly related to NATSEC matters, she would have also reported to Rhodes & Rice. Interestingly, Rice denied unmasking. Rhodes never commented.
‘Absolutely false’: Top Obama adviser denies she ‘unmasked’ Trump associates for political purposes
Susan Rice said allegations she “unmasked” associates of Donald Trump for political reasons while serving in the Obama administration were “absolutely false.”
https://www.businessinsider.com/susan-rice-unmasking-trump-associates-leaks-2017-4?op=1
Susan Rice was lying. She later admitted to unmasking, but said it was legit, & very limited. Riiiight.
Rice ADMITS unmasking Trump officials over secret UAE meeting
Susan Rice told Congress she ‘unmasked’ the identity of top Trump officials over an undisclosed meeting they had with the prince of the United Arab Emirates.
Susan Rice and Sam Power unmasked HUNDREDS of US Citizens in raw electronic surveillance records, & leaked them all over the intell community & to the press.
Ahem, @genflynn calls..
But Ben Rhodes in the interview he just gave & shared by @LeeSmithDC says he knew nothing, wasnt involved.
YouTube @YouTube

Worth watching this interview with former Obama deputy Ben Rhodes: Investigating Origins of Russia Probe ‘Waste of Time’
In fact, here’s how prevalent the illegal spying was:
Massive excel spreadsheet w thousands & thousands of lines with raw intercept data & unmasked US Persons’ names-
Former US Attorney: Susan Rice Ordered Spy Agencies To Produce ‘Detailed Spreadsheets’ Involving Trump
Susan Rice ordered U.S. spy agencies to produce “detailed spreadsheets” of legal phone calls involving Donald Trump and his aides when he was running for president, according to former U.S.…
These spreadsheets were provided all across the intell community, to media outlets, & congress. Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Evelyn Farkhas openly bragged about it on MSNBC:
Right now you’re asking ‘how is this possible?! There are supposed to be safeguards against this!’ Yes there are. All of them ignored because Barack Obama issued an Executive Order suspending them.
Obama Administration Set to Expand Sharing of Data That N.S.A. Intercepts
The change would relax longstanding restrictions on access to the contents of the phone calls and email the security agency vacuums up around the world.
Now, Ben Rhodes claimed the Obama white house did everything by the book & nothing illegal or improper happened. Sound familiar? Back to his boss:
grassley.senate.gov/news/news-rele…
Note that letter is from a committee oversight chair demanding answers. You know why. That was a CYA letter Rice sent to try to legally protect herself knowing shes in criminal trouble.
Its clear the entire National Security team of the Obama White House was deeply involved in spygate before, AND AFTER the 2016 election.
There’s documentation of this. Time stamped, court admissable documentary evidence. This is just one example, note the timestamp/date:

https://nypost.com/2018/02/07/fbi-lovers-texts-obama-wants-to-know-everything-about-hillary-probe/
Now, if everything was legal, if they were looking at Valid NATSEC threats, why didn’t FBI brief Trump? Why did Obama White House & FBI & DOJ have meeting inauguration eve discussing how to hide it all from Trump?
Why did the Obama White House, by Obama executive order, change order of succession at DOJ just before leaving office?
Executive Order — Providing an Order of Succession Within the Department of Justice
EXECUTIVE ORDER - - - - - - - PROVIDING AN ORDER OF SUCCESSION WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
The incoming Trump admin knew this was to maintain control of DOJ from outside his admin & continue the coup & hide evidence, stand in way of prosecutions. Trump reversed it immediately.
Without fanfare, Trump reverses Obama order on Justice Department succession
President Trump has quietly signed an executive order changing the order of succession in the Department of Justice, reversing an executive order by President Obama signed just last month.
If this was all legal, why did DOJ Natl Security Division head John Carlin quit 1 day after certifying report that no FISA abuse occurred while Adm Rogers was briefing FISA Court on abuse by obama admin?

John Carlin was an Assistant Attorney General – and Head of the Department of Justice’s National Security Division (NSD). On September 27, 2016, Carlin announced his resignation. He formally left the…
If this spying was legal & necessary, why did two key players at FBI discuss hiding their texts from FBI data retention & seek help from FBI IT head to do it?
It’s easy to see the deception, fear, & agitation in Ben Rhodes during the interview. He knows that @JusticeOIG @USAttyHuber @TheJusticeDept AG Barr @nsagov Inspector General, FISA court judges are all looking at everything I outlined.
Ben Rhodes knows all of this. But Ben also knows he played a key part in killing #projectcassandra & illegal action that were part of the Iran Nuclear deal, & so many more crimes.

Its easy to see why Ben Rhodes is panicking.
