Is it coming tomorrow? House Democrats are still holding the line on denying President Trump his border wall. The $5 billion proposal led to the current shutdown, now the longest in American history. Trump wants to at least get part of the border wall built. Democrats are not in a bipartisan mode. They just retook the House on the overarching promise to fight this White House not work with it.
I will be making a major announcement concerning the Humanitarian Crisis on our Southern Border, and the Shutdown, tomorrow afternoon at 3 P.M., live from the @WhiteHouse.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 18, 2019
As the two sides dig in, the crisis at the border is worsening. Yes, we do have a crisis on the southern border. The Washington Post and The New York Times reported on it. Former President Barack Obama even said there was a crisis. With another migrant horde setting off for the U.S. border, something has to get done. The president has been mulling declaring a national emergency to get it done, which isn’t facially unconstitutional, according to law experts, though how he would collect the funds to build this wall is another legal can of worms. Whatever the case, it seems now, with no deal in sight, Trump is preparing to declare a national emergency. We’ll find out for sure tomorrow around 3 P.M, but the president said that it will be about the crisis at the border.
The national emergency declaration to build the wall — which has looked like the most likely end to the shutdown for almost two weeks now — probably won’t accomplish what Trump wants.
But it gets everyone out of a shutdown without anyone having to concede.— Matt Fuller (@MEPFuller) January 18, 2019

#BREAKING #Trump suggests he would declare national emergency https://t.co/rMkHwzrrCu— Guy Elster (@guyelster) January 18, 2019
Now, it could be that, or it could be a massive head fake. We shall find out soon. Stay tuned.
Did Nancy leave the country and will he say she RAN AWAY ,LOL
Suspend aid to Mexico.
p
Liberals and Democrat snowflakes hardest hit.
I wonder if he will speak from Camp David???/
Ironically tomorrow is NATIONAL POPCORN DAY
I think he’ll announce two or three things.
Hadn't thought of that. Would make perfect sense, and be wildly popular. Remove Honduran aid also.
"As of today, I am ordering that offices and quarters housing Congress be utilized to house illegal aliens until the government shutdown is ended, due to lack of funding for border security. Congress is not currently using these facilities, preferring instead to travel abroad rather than work on resolving the budget crisis."
The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on application of the legislature, or of the executive (when the legislature cannot be convened) against domestic violence.
We have potentially a group of people equal or more than 10% of our populace inside our nation. If that isn't an invasion what is. It's still and occupation and habitation of land.
Ms. Pelosi, please get off your ass and do your job. If you refuse, please resign.
The RATS have set themselves up for a big fall here. No negotiation, no money, no wall. Trump needs to go all-in at this point and in such a way that the RATS cannot stop the effort. Let them try, scream, throw fits....all in preparation for the 2020 election and a platform of BORDER SECURITY.
Go for it !!!!
What are the chances of his 3pm announcement being about the RIF of “non essential” gummit personnel?
The required 30 day threshold will be met.
Imo, this is a much better option at this time than declaing the emergency.
They’re all dem voters anyway.
Think about it:
The next Pelosi funding bill out of the House will include a provision that outlaws the use of Defense Dept. money for the wall. You can bank on this.
It would also be great if they could somehow prevent the transfer of funds from the US to anyone in Mexico (or anywhere south of the US).
How will you feel about that bright idea when China offers to match the funds and move some of its military assets there, perhaps build some bases and a series of naval ports down there?
So? Let them override a veto and get it past the Senate.
He said he will speak live from the White House so unless that changes I assume it’s not CD.
I’m hoping for the best.
But I would be a little more optimistic is the President’s closest and most trusted advisors were not only relatives, but flaming liberals.
Unfortunately, they have his ear.
