True. When you get discouraged just remember it would have been all over with ... forever ... if Hillary had been elected.

IT’S THE BORDER, STUPID.

It is not the bore and never has been, it is what doesn't happen to those who cross it illegally.

There would be no Yellow Jackets in France

Just got back after a few days in Paris. Didn't see a single protest, yellow jacket or not. What I did see was a million Parisians out & about enjoying themselves.

One just needs to look past the massive para-military street presence, or little reminders like the new glass perimeter wall around the Eiffel tower.

And as I always ask myself, where's the payoff? Why did the French allow this to happen? What's in it for them? And the answer is always the same: increased immigration mean housing pressure means escalating homes prices - especially in the nicer parts - means people have more equity capital than they ever dreamed possible.

This is the secret the globalists are promoting. People are short-term thinkers and will always take the money today vs anticipating the costs further down the road. Or, in this case, the future generations who will be damning them to the fate which they have been consigned.

But until the point is reached, the band most certainly plays on.

Paul Ryan was concerned with keeping his boy scout image in tack for DC liberals to praise him... and have their war rooms write beautiful fake letters to him telling him how ‘ethical’ he was.

In short, he was too busy being played for a fool to be able to help Trump with our big issues like illegals flooding across our borders.

Wasn't Ryan in the 'who will pick the cherries' group? As if 40 Million Illegals couldn't pick the damn cherries if that was why they were coming here.

Ryan was a fool...

I know my parents went through it and that the country was united in spite of suffering the inconvenience.

I also know that anything done to help our country will be sold by the media as opposite of what is being done.

Maybe it's just time to give up, eh?

You pretty much nailed it.

President Trump is leading by informing the self centered, short term focused populations that there are hidden costs near term costs and catastrophic long term costs to the status quo.

People are getting the message slowly, but they are getting it

Those forces elected Trump, he didn’t create them. He has only betrayed them.

Two years wasted. Worse numbers than Obama. Trumps Border Patrol standing down, not firing tear gas or rubber bullets, just handing out bus tickets (by the hundreds of thousands.)

Reality and numbers. Not promises and spin.

“Coulter is old”. “Coulter is skinny”

And Coulter is correct.

Correct. Swift removals will stop the invasion far better than some improved fencing. The Obama/Trump catch and release practices are a flashing “welcome” sign.

All best keep in mind it is congress.

It is not in Trumps character to point the finger at congress. He is expecting us to use our noggins and blame congress. It IS like congress to blame others including the president

No, when you're fighting for the unique freedoms we have in our country - we never give up.

Have you noticed the downsizing in the press? They can either give their customers fairness or they'll go out of business... that shows we ARE winning. It's not easy changing back from the corrupt liberal culture...

We elected Trump. I suspect that choice has ‘made a difference’...

I'm disappointed, too, but why did you have to cause an eye bleach moment with Skelator?

What did WE do to deserve that?

Must respectfully disagree.

Things are bad but they can be much worse.

Look at Europe for just how bad. The Syrian Refugee Crisis was an organized, planned invasion of Europe.

The same groups that pulled that off are trying to do the same here and Trump has managed to head off a much worse disaster

Sadly, in our system it’s going to have to get worse before it gets better. Nothing will change until the misinformed, the virtue signaling and disinterested people wake up to just how badly they have been played and until the costs to the people who currently benefit from the status quo begin it outweigh the benefits.

President Trump is leading the charge on both fronts

On one hand, we need to be angry and worried about abuses of the asylum process where the illegals fake refugee status and disappear after being released on their own recognizance and never show up in court for their asylum hearings. On the other hand, we need to be thankful because asylum cases take years to adjudicate, but if you don’t show up you lose by default and are subject to deportation

The fake asylum seekers who disappear after being caught and released are cutting their own throats and are saving us a lot of time and expense when it come time to finally deport them

Have read Cardinal Sarah’s work and he is spot on.

Something wicked this way comes and it may be coming much sooner and more suddenly than anyone can anticipate

Don’t be too concerned about not being Catholic, much of the Catholic Church isn’t either anymore.

We are losing badly. Our population is being replaced by one that doesn’t particularly care for the USA. Everything else is downstream from that reality.
