Democrats are calling President Trump every name in the book and threatening multiple lawsuits to overturn his Friday declaration of a national emergency on our southern border.
The president is using the declaration to enable him to shift funds already in the federal budget to border security. The shifting of money from one set of priorities to the more urgent priority of border security will allow the president to spend over $8.1 billion to build barriers along part of our border with Mexico and fund other border security measures.
But listen to the angry denunciations of the president by outraged Democrats. You’d think he’s throwing out the Constitution, banishing every member of Congress to the wilderness, and proclaiming himself an all-powerful dictator for life – an American version of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
It should go without saying that President Trump is doing no such thing. In truth, the president is using his constitutional authority in the same way other presidents have, in order to find money to deal with an emergency.
And make no mistake, the crisis on the U.S.-Mexico border is a real emergency – not a figment of Trump’s imagination.
Think of what the president is doing in terms of your family budget. You have money set aside to buy a new car. Then a member of your family gets seriously ill and requires emergency medical treatment that costs you several thousand dollars not covered by your health insurance. What do you do? You postpone buying the new car and use the money for emergency medical care.
It’s a shame that it has come to this.
The legislation to fund government operations – averting another partial government shutdown – was passed by Congress and signed into law by the president Friday.

The Turtle’s family is owned by the Chi-Coms.
“Has the government once secured our borders? This is where we really are as a nation and we need to recognize it and say so.”
It’s staggering. The chicoms could take advantage of infiltrating through our southern border by the millions and nothing would be done about it.
FReeper, the US government is in rebellion against the Republic. And by that I mean the citizens of the this nation.
Sadly you are correct. I believe FReepers would do something but that is about it. The Chi-Coms own the Turtle’s family.
Yes, they want compliant, dependant, voting bodies ... who they can forget about after they get their power back.
and those compliant voting bodies don’t care as long as they get their free schools for their kids, free health care, a place to stay and food on their tables... then a car and license to drive.... i’d say they had it made when they get here.
But I don’t like it... not any of it. we are run by corruption never before existed to this point.. and it’s all out for everyone to see.
I remember the day I realized everyone around, lied. to lie was as natural as breathing.. it doesn’t cross their minds to tell the truth. I can’t deal with that logic..
For the ones who do tell the truth, it’s suspect and not believed.. we all are cast into the same lying net!
What a country this is!
obama stood/stands for the epitome of evil who brought in a way that the media, congress and most of Washington, welcomed and celebrated! it was misery for those of us who could see it and despise it.
IF the D’s hadn’t lied to Reagan in ‘86-’87 the border security issue would have been fixed and we wouldn’t have 20, 30 or 40 million ILLEGAL ALIENS here right now and more coming and killing, raping, robbing our American Citizens . . . while we the taxpayers foot their bills for education, medical and welfare.
The D’s and The Media obviously HATE our country and they hate us.
I’m disgusted by them all.
Trump has to fight the R’s, the D’s, the Judiciary and the Media . . . with very little help.
More specifically, after decades of unthinkingly promoting the murder of unborn Democrats for the instant gratification of winning elections with the votes of misguided, post-17th Amendment ratification women voters consider this.
Sly fox Democrats now need to keep the border open so that they have illegal votes of illegal immigrants to swing close election races in favor of Democrats to stay in power imo.
From other threads …
Patriots need to support PDJT in putting a stop to Democratic ballot box fraud by working with the states to enforce the 12th Amendment (12A) and Section 2 of the 14th Amendment (14A).
Enforcing 12A will put an end to unconstitutional state winner-take-all electoral votes laws imo.
"Excerpted from the 12th Amendment: "The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice- President, and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate [emphasis added]; …"
Regarding Section 2 of the 14th Amendment, that section specifies a penalty for states that weaken the voting rights of their citizens.
”14th Amendment, Section 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens [emphases added] twenty-one years of age in such State."
Note that voting rights amendments ratified after 14A effectively change how the express voting eligibility criteria of 14A is to be interpreted imo.
Regarding Section 2, the congressional record shows that post-Civil War federal lawmakers had pointed out not only that only citizens have the right to vote, but when a renegade state lets undocumented Democrats vote (my wording) the state is effectively nullifying the Constitution’s “uniform Rule of Naturalization” clause (1.8.4).
"Article I, Section 8, Clause 4: To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;"
" If the States can admit to the elective franchise those who are not citizens, thereby neutralizing the votes of citizens, not only the Federal power of naturalization becomes a nullity, but” * * * * "a minority of citizens by the aid of aliens may control the government of the States, and through the States the government of the Union [emphasis added]." —Appendix to the Congressional Globe, 1868. (See near middle of 1st column.)
" Whatever difference there may be as to what other right appertain to a citizen, all must agree that he has the right to petition and also to claim the Protection of the Government. These belong to him as a member the body politic, and the possession of them is what separates citizens of the lowest condition from aliens and slaves. To suppose that a State can make an alien a citizen or confer on him the right of voting would involve the absurdity of giving him the direct and immediate control of the action of the General Government [emphasis added], from which he can claim no protection and to which he has no right to present a petition." —Appendix to the Congressional Globe, 1868. (See bottom half of 1st column.)
PDJT needs to work with the states to make sure that only people who present valid citizenship / photo ID cards will be allowed to vote. Such cards need to be made scannable and / or include a security chip to facilitate Democratic ballot box officials with “poor” eyesight.
Insights welcome.
I was just reading about the apprehension numbers for 2019
FY 2019: 242,217
That’s astonishing for a month and a half. I know a lot of them are just surrendering claiming asylum(then released into the interior) but imagine the number that are not apprehended.
It’s a free for all. A full on invasion.
McConnell set up POTUS. It was a beltway hit job. Nothing incompetent about it. Amazing betrayal after POTUS gave his wife a cabinet position.
The D’s and The Media obviously HATE our country and they hate us.
I’m disgusted by them all.
The beltway Republicans hate Trump and us every bit as much as the Democrats do.
Look how Amnesty Ryan gift wrapped the House to seditious Democrats while his fellow Americans lay dead in the streets of Democrat sanctuary cities. Only someone who truly hates his country would do such a thing.
Paul Ryan is a traitor to the R Party and to Americans.
“Look how Amnesty Ryan gift wrapped the House to seditious Democrats while his fellow Americans lay dead in the streets of Democrat sanctuary cities. Only someone who truly hates his country would do such a thing.”
Exactly. That smug traitorous punk needs to be brought to justice.
Revolutionary democrats and many pubbies are exactly why we need to use the Constitution to stop this invasion and to cut the federal government by 80%.
Let the Democrats fight against this one I can’t wait to see this play out
Hey San Diego and in El Paso you want to rip down that wall?
How many more times is Trump going to fall for these Hit Jobs?
McConnel
Ryan
Shelby
Sessions
Priebus
Wray
Mueller..
The only thing the Dems care about is their Leftist agenda - Global Totalitarian Government.
America is the only entity standing in the way of their wet dream and they will do whatever they can to take down America.
The Dems, the Left, Jihadism - it’s all run by the same satanic spirit - the spirit of antichrist.
With Obama they thought their time was now. But for now, God has other plans, hence, Trump.
It will be awhile before the Left gets their way - a few decades IMO. But when it happens, it will happen suddenly - right after Jesus takes his saints and the Holy Spirit outta here. The horror that follows - the Leftist wet dream turned into a nightmare - will be unimaginable.
The real reason is the only thing the Dems care about - their Leftist agenda of Global Totalitarian Government and America and her national sovereignty are the only things standing in their way.
With Obama they thought their time was now. But for now, God has other plans, hence, Trump.
It will be awhile before the Left gets their way - a few decades IMO. But when it happens, it will happen suddenly - right after Jesus takes his saints and the Holy Spirit outta here. The horror that follows - the Leftist wet dream turned into a nightmare - will be unimaginable.
Fact is, the Constitution, art. IV, sec. 4, is the strongest, unassailable legal grounds for Trump’s action.
Trumps advisers need to get with it.
