“To do otherwise sacrifices accuracy to ideology.” – Graham Hillard
Chain migration may involve international migration, but the term is also applied to migration within a nation, say from a rural setting to an urban setting.
Words matter. The Left has already hijacked and made over too much of our language to advance their policies. Don’t let them get away with turning “chain migration” into a racist epithet.

A majority of Americans approved of President Trump’s SOTU speech. But Democrats in the audience refused to even APPLAUD when he mentioned issues that have (or should have) bipartisan support.
I’m beyond disgusted, but I’m not sure what else I should have expected from 21st century Democrats.
When Bush was president, CIA interrogators poured water on the faces of three terrorists faces (for about five minutes total) to scare them into talking.
Years after it had been done and the information obtained saved lives, Democrats decided to make a huge stink about how eeeevil waterboarding is and how eeeevil it was of Bush and the military for allowing it to be done.
Lost on the Left were the FACTS that:
Democrats in the 115th Congress … including Nancy Pelosi … have now voted IN FAVOR OF allowing pain-capable, unborn human beings to be torn limb from limb.
So let’s just sum up the Democrat Party’s positions:
- Pouring water on the faces of evil people is evil.
- Ripping the arms and legs off of innocent people is compassionate.
Also, a majority of Americans APPROVE of banning pain-capable fetuses … just like a majority of Americans APPROVED of President Trump’s speech.
Remember when Obama told us we should be more like the other nations of the world? I think that, when it comes to pain-capable and even viable unborn human beings, he meant other nations should be more like us … and kill as many as possible.
At twenty weeks, the developing baby is about 6 inches long (13.2 cm) and may weigh about 10 ounces. The baby may begin to make movements that the mother can feel at about 19 to 21 weeks; this baby movement is termed “quickening”. The baby at this stage of development can move its facial muscles, yawn, and suck its thumb. The expanding uterus at 20 weeks is felt at the level of the belly button.
The House passed, then the Senate voted down a bill that would have banned abortions on pain-capable fetuses.
There was an exception for those little people who were conceived in rape or incest. Apparently, the sins of the fathers are supposed to be visited upon the children. Or something.
Eighteen states have passed similar legislation. Idaho and Arizona have, too, but are unable to enforce them “thanks” to ongoing court cases.
The votes broke down almost entirely on party lines with these exceptions:
Pro-Abortion Republicans = 4 NAYS
- House: Dent, Frelinghuysen
- Senate: Collins, Murkowski
Pro-Life Democrats = 6 AYES
- House: Cuellar, Lipinski, Peterson
- Senate: Casey, Donnelly, Manchin

The Democrats treated George W. Bush shabbily for eight years because they never got over his refusing to let Al Gore steal the 2000 election. Their souls are empty, so they lash out at anything that doesn’t comport with whatever beliefs they have. But there has never been the volume of visceral rage against a single human being that they display against Donald Trump. Their behavior last night was nothing short of reprehensible. They refused to stand for any reason, including for our troops.

“Freedom stands tall over one more monument: this one. This Capitol, this living monument to the American people. A people whose heroes live not only in the past, but all around us — defending hope, pride, and the American way.”
The president ended his speech with calls for bipartisanship saying, “I call upon all of us to set aside our differences, to seek out common ground, and to summon the unity we need to deliver for the people we were elected to serve.”

The Shabby, Sophomoric Behavior of Democrats at the SOTU
It is difficult to imagine a more galling demonstration of incivility than the Democrats in the room for Trump’s SOTU speech. They scowled, frowned, and sat on their hands throughout the speech. They could hardly be bothered to acknowledge the heroes in the audience when they were introduced. While the Dems brought illegal immigrants, Trump invited actual paragons of American character and the families of victims of illegal immigrant crimes, as well as a victim of North Korea. It was embarrassing, like watching the anti-Semites in the UN stomp out of the room when Benjamin Netanyahu speaks. How is it any different? Our Democrats behave exactly like the most racist, intolerant people on the planet, and in their own Capitol.
New Liberal SOTU Rule: Don’t Call President Trump’s Speech Presidential
A New York University journalism professor, a New York Times columnist, and others preemptively attacked any pundits who may praise President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address as presidential.
NYU professor Jay Rosen mocked the tendency to call Trump’s speeches “presidential,” and called out the Washington Post for a story indicating the speech could help reset his presidency.

Why Didn’t Democrats Stand – Or Even Clap – For This SOTU Line?
It’s typical for lawmakers to resist clapping during the president’s annual State of the Union address when he mentions policies they oppose. But, when the president touches on issues that are clearly bipartisan, both sides of the aisle usually acknowledge it with at least a golf clap. For instance, supporting our military, investing in infrastructure, combating the opioid crisis, and a budding economy can typically be considered bipartisan issues.

Rep. Luis Gutierrez walks out of Trump’s State of the Union as progressives write off bipartisanship permanently
Historically, progressives have championed a permanent solution for the so-called “Dreamers,” immigrants brought to this country illegally as children. But they are already balking at any amnesty deal.
Generally, progressives are willing to negotiate at least at the margins of a Republican agenda. But they see anything less than a complete and total scorched-earth strategy as unacceptable.
Shortly after exiting the chamber, Gutierrez summarized his position. “I was hoping to get through my life without having to witness an outwardly, explicitly racist American President,” he wrote in a statement. “My luck ran out.”
With that, Gutierrez managed to do something normally quite impossible. By writing off compromise completely, barely a week after the government shutdown, the progressive has made Trump look like the good-faith, honest adult in the room

WaPo Changes SOTU Headline After Liberals Freak Out That It’s Too Positive For Trump
The Washington Post changed its front page headline for President Donald Trump’s first State of the Union address Tuesday evening after liberals erupted in anger.
The paper tweeted roughly one hour before Trump’s speech a picture of the Wednesday edition, featuring a front page headline that read, “A call for bipartisanship.”
Readers responded with vitriol, calling out the newspaper for printing a headline it “will regret tomorrow,” along with a host of other negative comments.

President Trump will give his first State of the Union speech tonight. It should be far more interesting than Barky’s last one, even just for the agita the progtards will be suffering.
I never watched Obama spew his platitudes and outright lies, mostly because his voice was offensive to me. I may watch part of the speech tonight, but chances are I’ll just recap tomorrow.
Basically it’s a chance for him to tout his successful leadership in growing the economy, stemming the flood of illegal, and promoting America to the world instead of apologizing for her greatness.
The Democrats plan to have at least six — count ’em, six — rebuttals after his speech. The official response will be by some Kennedy (yes,one of THOSE). The most interesting will be by Gasoline Maxine, whose rebuttal will be repeating “Impeach 45! Impeach 45!” over and over until she has a seizure and passes out.
State of the Union To Emphasize Economy, Military Strength
It will focus on five broad topics: the economy, a $1-trillion-plus plan to rebuild infrastructure, Mr. Trump’s new immigration proposal that includes a pathway to citizenship 1.8 million young illegal immigrants, trade policy and a plan to rebuild the military.
“To Congress, the tone will be one of bipartisanship and very forward-looking,” a senior administration official said. “The economic upswing is helping everybody — all groups are benefiting.”

Donald Trump’s State of the Union address is coming up this Tuesday, but some students must have gotten a sneak peek, because they already hated it.
THIS IS WHAT THE MEDIA AND THE SOCIALIST INDOCTRINATION CENTERS KNOWN AS COLLEGES HAVE PRODUCED
Critics of Trump have already begun to express displeasure with his actions in the days leading up to the speech, leading some to wonder whether this opposition is substantive, or rooted in a distaste of Trump as a person.
Wanting to find out, Campus Reform headed to New York University to ask students their opinions of President Trump’s State of the Union. The only problem for them was that the speech would not take place for another seven days.
Would that stop them from giving strong, condemnatory opinions on the speech?

Now they tell us. More than a year after President Obama left office, a journalist is finally revealing a photograph he deliberately hid from the American public for well over a decade, for the explicit purpose of shielding Obama from political backlash. Talking Points Memo has the details, including the story of a ‘panicked’ phone call placed by a Congressional Black Caucus representative, who was desperate to prevent the photo from going public.
Clinton–Obama Emails: The Key to Understanding Why Hillary Wasn’t Indicted

If Clinton had been charged, Obama’s culpable involvement would have been patent. In any prosecution of Clinton, the Clinton–Obama emails would have been in the spotlight. For the prosecution, they would be more proof of willful (or, if you prefer, grossly negligent) mishandling of intelligence. More significantly, for Clinton’s defense, they would show that Obama was complicit in Clinton’s conduct yet faced no criminal charges.
Trump slams report he tried to fire Robert Mueller as ‘fake news’
President Trump on Friday slammed as “fake news” a bombshell report that he ordered the firing of special counsel Robert Mueller last year – backing down only when the White House lawyer threatened to quit.
“Fake news, fake news. Typical New York Times. Fake stories,” Trump told reporters before he was to deliver a major speech to world and business leaders at the World Economic Forum summit in Davos, Switzerland.

Don’t Answer His Questions, Mr. President
Take it from a veteran of Watergate.
One: There is no such crime as Russia/U.S. “Collusion.” The man who is running for President can talk to anyone he pleases. So can anyone who works for him. They can talk about anything except to disclose secret defense material.
Two: The Special Prosecutor is not a friend of Mr. Trump. He’s been in bed with Trump haters from the word “go”. He has no special place in history unless he hurts Trump very badly. He’s not going to just walk away from this without the trophy of inflicting heavy duty damage on Trump.
Three: Mr. Trump does not have to answer anyone’s f–king questions. He’s President. He can’t be cited for contempt. He can’t be indicted. He cannot be prosecuted especially for the non-existent crime of “collusion.” If he does not have to answer the questions and if the media will hurt him as much as they possibly can no matter what he does, why should he answer questions — especially under oath?
Mr. Trump, sir, this man wants to hurt you. Don’t help him. When you get back to D.C. from Davos, explain that you spoke too hastily, that you had not consulted your counsel. That you will have a look at written interrogatories and consider answering them with the help of your lawyers. Mr. Trump, this man, Mr. Mueller, is part of a conspiracy to drive you from office.

CNN commentator Symone Sanders said Thursday that Donald Trump reportedly attempting to fire special counsel Robert Mueller is “something you just can’t come back from.”
She added, “I think it goes to show that things coming out of this White House cannot be trusted. That’s something I have thought for a really long time, and these are real political implications. If Donald Trump did in fact ask for the special counsel to be fired, that’s something you just can’t come back from, in my opinion.”

McConnell Announces Vote on Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) announced Wednesday that the Senate will vote next week on the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act which would ban abortion at 20 weeks, the point at which science increasingly shows unborn babies feel pain.
“Last week Americans from all across the country, including many from Kentucky, came here to Washington to speak up for unborn children whom our legal system has denied the right to life,” McConnell said, referencing the recent March for Life.

Hennepin County Attorney Convening Grand Jury In Justine Damond Shooting
Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman is convening a grand jury to gather evidence in the 2017 shooting of Justine Ruszczyk Damond, but said he still will decide whether Minneapolis police officer Mohamed Noor will face charges in her death
THE LAWS OF SHARIA SAY NOOR CAN RAPE OR MURDER ANY WOMAN WHO IS NOT A MUSLIM. I PREDICT HE WILL NEVER, EVER BE CHARGED FOR A COLD BLOODED MURDER.
Freeman said nearly two years ago that he would stop using grand juries in police shooting cases. The announcement first came in March 2016 when he was deciding whether to charge two officers in the officer-involved shooting death of Jamar Clark in north Minneapolis the previous November.
In December 2016, Freeman said one of the biggest regrets of his career was using grand juries to investigate police-involved shootings.

“While the president is busy mingling with the biggest beneficiaries of the GOP tax scam in Davos, Stephen Miller is once again running loose in the White House with his own hateful anti-immigrant agenda,” Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill said, referring to the World Economic Forum in Switzerland. “Now, Miller is trying to ransom the lives of innocent Dreamers for a $25 billion anti-immigrant wish list.

House Republican: White House’s Amnesty Plan ‘Beginning of the End of GOP Majority In the House’
According to Politico reporter Rachael Bade, House Republicans are enraged by an amnesty plan — crafted by Marc Short, Gen. John Kelly, Kirstjen Nielsen, and Stephen Miller — leaked on Thursday that gives a pathway to U.S. citizenship to at least 1.8 million illegal aliens who are enrolled and eligible for President Obama’s DACA program.
“This is the beginning of the end of the GOP majority in the House,” a House Republican told Bade, alluding to the fact that GOP voters would be less likely to support Republicans in the 2018 midterm elections when they are backing an amnesty plan that does not benefit Americans. “In a year when the Democrats impeach Trump, we can point to this moment.”

Dirty Cop Mueller Gunning For Trump – Seeks to Question POTUS About General Flynn and Comey
New Strzok-Page text messages are shaking Mueller’s witch hunt to the core, however; the Special Counsel continues to proceed with his witch hunt against President Trump.
The 4 page FISA memo is set to be released soon so Robert Mueller is moving as fast as he can to interview President Trump. He is gunning for the president.
Robert Mueller previously grilled James Comey and Attorney General Jeff Sessions according to a New York Times report.
Now he wants Trump. The ultimate goal of the Russia witch hunt is to remove a duly elected president.
Dirty Cop Mueller Gunning For Trump – Seeks to Question POTUS About General Flynn and Comey
The president thinks he has nothing to fear because he’s done nothing wrong. That is of little import to liberals. Mueller is sharpening his knives and licking his chops over the prospect of Trump saying anything he can attack him with.
Recall when Scooter Libby was convicted of not remembering something the same way another witness did. One of the jurors carped that they were disappointed they only got Libby when it was Cheney’s blood they wanted. If Trump goes through with this, Mueller will charge him with something.

New California Policy Opens Door To Illegal Immigrant Voting
California this spring will begin automatically registering adults who obtain or renew a driver’s license to vote, including potentially large numbers of noncitizens and immigrants illegally living in the state.
“You’re setting the state up for a disaster. They don’t seem to have a process in place to verify that people are who they say they are. It’s a free-for-all, a process that can be manipulated,” said Catherine Engelbrecht, founder of True the Vote, a national organization that unsuccessfully pressed Gov. Jerry Brown to veto the law allowing automatic voter registration.

Swing State Florida Could Add More Than One Million Felons To Voting Rolls
ADD THAT TO THE HALF MILLION HAITIANS WHO FLED HERE
If passed, the ballot measure could have a significant impact on election outcomes in the state.
President Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton in Florida by 112,911 votes in the 2016 election. That’s less than one tenth of the number of felons who would rejoin voting rolls if the measure passes. Just under 1.5 million Floridians were barred from voting in the 2016 election due to felony convictions, according to The Sentencing Project.

Bad news for GOP: Pennsylvania Supreme Court tosses state’s congressional maps
It is difficult to exaggerate how damaging this ruling is to the GOP chances of holding the House.
The GOP may have just lost as many as four seats in the House—certainly at least one.
Yesterday, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania ruled, by a vote of 5–2, that the state’s congressional districts amounted to an unconstitutional partisan gerrymander.
And here’s an even greater shock— the PA Supreme Court just so happens to have five Democrats and two Republicans
It is difficult to exaggerate how damaging this ruling is to the GOP.
Democrats need to win a net of 23 seats to take back the House. This decision may hand them 3 or 4 right off the bat.
But here is what happened in Pennsylvania: in 2015 Democrats won three supreme court vacancies in a clean sweep, ending the Republican majority. Democratic organizations, like the League of Women Voters that spearheaded the lawsuit in this case, realized they could exploit the results to circumvent the legislature and get a new map, all while never setting foot in a federal courthouse.

N.Y. Democrats unveil ad campaign to ‘replace and repeal’ federal tax law
ALBANY — The state Democratic Party — controlled by Gov. Cuomo — unveiled a “replace and repeal” ad campaign tied to the federal tax act.
Cuomo previously announced a campaign that would target at least six New York congressional Republicans as part of an effort to help flip the House to the Democrats in the November elections.
Again accusing Republicans in Washington of “having declared war on New York,” Cuomo, as part of the upcoming state budget talks, wants to find a way to revamp New York’s tax code to limit the impact of the federal law.

California To Business Owners: Half Of Your Savings From Trump’s Tax Bill Belongs To Us
The Democratic Party thinks your money is their money (typical) and the state legislature in California is making that explicitly clear. They’re pushing for business to fork over half of their tax savings to the state because this is what you get when Democrats are in charge.
As a constitutional amendment, the bill would require approval from two-thirds of the Legislature to pass, a difficult hurdle now that Democrats have lost their supermajority. If passed and signed by Gov. Jerry Brown, it would then go to voters for final approval.
Yeah, this would be a sure thing, but a few state Democratic representatives in Sacramento have been accused of gross sexual misconduct, which has led to chaos within the state party. This fiasco has cost the party their supermajority—at least for the beginning of 2018. How dare businesses get tax relief: the motto of a California Democrat.

Democrats just got rolled. They can blame Barack Obama.
During his 2008 campaign, Obama promised in a conversation with Univision anchor Jorge Ramos to make passing immigration reform one of his first legislative priorities, and even set a timetable. “I cannot guarantee that it is going to be in the first 100 days,” he said. “But what I can guarantee is that we will have in the first year an immigration bill that I strongly support and that I’m promoting. And I want to move that forward as quickly as possible.”
If he had wanted to act, he could have. Obama’s party controlled the House, and Democrats had a 60-vote filibuster-proof Senate majority. If Obama really wanted to pass either the Dream Act or comprehensive immigration reform, Republicans were powerless to stop him. But he didn’t do it.

DEMOCRATS DON’T PROSECUTE DEMOCRATS

Democrats Lose Big Time As Shutdown Ends
They tried to shoehorn a big immigration amnesty into stopgap funding and paid a heavy price.
Democrats got essentially nothing in exchange for voting to re-open the government, which made the Republican triumph even sweeter. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) made an unenforceable promise to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) to bring an immigration bill to the floor – he said merely that it was his intention to do so – if a compromise cannot be made regarding the illegals before government funding runs out again.

Never play Chicken with the Trump Train
This embarrassing game of Chicken shows that — for the first time in decades — a Republican won the Narrative War.
Republicans never win the Narrative War.
And that’s why Schumer and the Dems were so certain they’d succeed at hanging this shutdown around Donald Trump’s neck.
But they failed miserably.
No. Trump went much further than that. He successfully labeled this shutdown as Democrats choosing illegal aliens over American citizens.
And because of that, losing this game of Chicken isn’t just a minor setback for Chuck Schumer and the Democrats.
They went all-in for non-citizens over Americans. And now, no matter what they do, Trump has succeeded in labeling them the Party of Illegals.

Trump releases statement on Democrats coming to their senses over government shutdown
Trump just released a statement to the press on the government shutdown, praising Democrats for ‘coming to their senses’ to fund the government:
In a campaign email, the message from the Trump campaign is that “Democrats CAVED”:
Democrats caved on the shutdown, and they’re admitting it
🔥Kamala Harris on McConnell: “I don’t believe he made any commitment whatsoever and I think it would be foolhardy to believe he made a commitment.”
Cc: Democratic leadership
And here’s a statement from OFA, the political offshoot of Barack Obama’s presidential campaigns: “Let’s be clear: This stopgap measure is not a solution. It’s merely a band-aid for a self-inflicted wound that remains untreated.” Another liberal group, CREDO Action, offered this:

Fun: MoveOn rips Dems for “bad, outrageous” shutdown deal
“This is a bad, outrageous deal. Trump and Republicans in Congress stood with their anti-immigrant nativist base, and too many Democrats backed down, abandoned Dreamers, and failed to fight for their values.”
Lotta anger out there!

We Are Outraged:’ Illegal Alien Activists Turn on Democrats After Amnesty-or-Shutdown Fail
In a protest outside of the U.S Capitol, open borders advocates and illegal alien activists slammed Democrats after they originally shut down the federal government to push amnesty for illegal aliens, but then caved to President Trump and voted to reopen the government without an amnesty attached to the funding bill.
Illegal aliens shielded from deportation by the President Obama-created Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program with the open borders group “United We Dream,” which is funded by globalist billionaire George Soros, said they were entitled to an immediate amnesty before the federal government was reopened.

Fresh Polling: Shutting Down Government Over DACA Was Not Good For Democrats
“Would you favor or oppose Democrats voting to shut the government down if the continuing budget resolution does not include restoring so-called DACA work permits for undocumented immigrants brought here illegally by their parents?”
58% responded with “oppose.”
Polling also showed a majority back White House priorities on ending the Diversity Visa Lottery Program, eliminating chain migration and building a border wall.

Nancy Pelosi to Democrats: Shutdown deal does not ‘diminish our leverage’
“While today’s vote ends the Trump Shutdown, it does not diminish our leverage,” Pelosi said in a “Dear Democratic Colleague” note to her caucus members. “While Members may vote differently on this bill, we are unified in our determination to meet the needs of the American people with our Better Deal: Better Jobs, Better Wages, Better Future.”
[CtH: BWAHAHAHAHA! Delusional Nancy opens her gob again. TRUMP is MEETING every one of those needs already … without any support whatsoever from the Democrats OR the MSM.]
CNN Asks Wasserman Schultz What Was The Point Of The Shutdown — Her Answer Is Stunning
When Schultz was asked point-blank what the point of the government shutdown was her response left Baldwin’s jaw on the floor. “What one thing did [Schumer] get, you know, from Republicans, to justify shutting down the government in the first place?” Baldwin asked.
DWS replied: “The one thing, I would say, that [Schumer] did get is the potential for momentum.”
[CtH; What on Earth does “potential for momentum” mean?]
CNN Host Incredulous When Wasserman Schultz Says Schumer Got ‘Potential for Momentum’ Out of Shutdown Deal
[DWS: “We’re five months down the road and we still don’t have a budget.” Wow. And how many YEARS did Democrats REFUSE to pass a budget?! I’d say “unbelievable” but this is a Democrat.]
