Two days ago, President Trump signed an Executive Order about visa entry procedures and refugees from Syria. Although leftists’ heads are exploding,their claims are either totally exaggerated or flat out FAKE NEWS.
I have read the Executive Order and summarized it below in simple terms.
First, there there is no “Muslim Ban.”There is a postponement of entry from 7 countries (Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen) previously identified by the Obama administration as posing extraordinary risks. Most of the Muslim countries are not on the list.
Second, the list has nothing to do with Trump’s foreign business concerns.It was PRESIDENT OBAMA who first restricted visa waivers for those seven Muslim-majority countries. Funny how nobody complained or marched in protest, but now Trump does it and heads are exploding?
Third, it’s a suspension, not a ban.Trump has ordered an immediate evaluation of our visa procedures to better screen out those who would pose a risk to our safety.
Fourth, the suspension does not affectforeign nationals traveling on diplomatic visas, North Atlantic Treaty Organization visas, C-2 visas for travel to the United Nations, and G-1, G-2, G-3, and G-4 visas. Also, it allows waivers on a case-by-case basis.
Fifth, they’re also going to create a biometric entry-exit system to track travelers,as was recommended by the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States.
Sixth, refugees will be limited to 50,000 for 2017 and the feds will no longer dump them on state and local communities without their consent.
Seventh, the Attorney General is going to begin collecting and making publicinformation regarding foreign nationals who have been charged with or convicted of terrorism-related offenses and/or gender-based violence against women, including honor killings.
There’s nothing here that should warrant all the hyperbole and sign waving. The order is about keeping Americans safe from people who want to hurt us. Anybody who has a problem with that needs to get his head examined.
TEXT OF January 27, 2017: Executive Order signed by President Trump
PROTECTING THE NATION FROM FOREIGN TERRORIST ENTRY INTO THE UNITED STATES
CtH 1/29/17: For some reason, this one is not posted yet at the White House web site. Maybe the web gremlins don’t work weekends. CNN says this is the full text.
It remains to be seen when a day will pass without the protesters/rioters turning out en masse over an order POTUS Trump has issued. It seems to have been every day since at least his inauguration. He brings out the full potential in everyone! Yesterday was no different.
Under the stay, none of the travelers held at airports across the nation can be sent back. However, the measure doesn’t mean they have to be allowed into the country – leaving them in a grey area.
A senior Homeland Security official told Reuters that roughly 375 travelers were affected by the order. Of these, 109 were in transit to the US and denied entry. Another 173 people were stopped by airlines from boarding an aircraft to the US. 81 others who had green cards or special immigrant visas received waivers.
A team of lawyers from the U.S. Attorney’s Office argued against the emergency stay, deeming it “moot” because detained plaintiffs and Iraqi nationals Hameed Khalid Darweesh and Haider Sameer Abdulkhaleq Alshawi had since been released. The two were held for several hours on Saturday at JFK airport.
“I’m assuming there will be more people this has an impact on,” Donnelly fired back.
CAN YOU GUESS WHO THE DEMOCRATS RAN TO FOR A RESTRAINING ORDER???
Democratic congressmen like Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) showed up in solidarity with the demonstrators. Eventually, one detainee, Hameed Khalid Darweesh, who worked for the U.S. government in Iraq for a decade, was released. He thanked his supporters for their effort and noted America was still “the land of freedom.”
Yet, it seems more refugees are currently stuck in Washington Dulles International airport in Virginia. Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) just held a press conference with Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring, where he said he intends to help free the refugees, despite the president’s mandate.
There are some stark policy difference about immigration and refugees over which people can disagree — those were argued at length during the election season. But the hyperbole and frenzy being exhibited in the media and by leftist pundits is hyperbole at best, fakery and lying at worst.
They said they would be standing in solidarity with the ‘Muslim ban’ protesters. But Uber said they would be reducing surge pricing to the airport.
People accused them of ‘colluding with Trump’ and failing to take a stand against policy, and Twitter users urged others to delete the app from their phone.
Uber CEO Travis Kalanick responded by pledging to compensate ‘thousands of its drivers’ affected by the immigration ban.
Kalanick said Uber will compensate its drivers who may be barred from entering the US for 90 days as a result of Donald Trump’s executive order.
Putting this post together I was thinking about what a week it’s been and I remembered a TV show from 1963-64 called that That Was The Week That Was. It was a comedy show seasoned with political satire. Here’s a sort clip:
In this first incredible week of the Trump presidency he’s made it clear who’s in charge. The unborn have a protector; the terrorists of the world have a sworn enemy; Israel has a friend who won’t betray them; and persecuted Christians have hope of escaping Islamic genocide.
As far as our relationship with Mexico goes, everybody it seems is worried about his proposed 20% tax on Mexican imports. He’s always been an advocate of tariffs, which can mean higher prices on things like avocados and beer.
Keep in mind Trump is a world class negotiator. He’s not going to tip his hand and announce what he plans to do. He knows Mexico has far more to lose than we do. I think they’ll hammer out something palatable to both sides. Nieto must realize some of the criminals and the welfare cases they sent here will be coming home for them to support.
At some point the liberals will realize they won’t get away with the shameful way they report the news. It doesn’t work anymore thanks to social media. They’ll never stop trying, though because they’re a dedicated lot.
THE DEMOCRATS UP FOR RE-ELECTION IN 2018 WERE AT A RETREAT THIS WEEK, LEARNING HOW TO CON THE IGNORANT HICKS WHO VOTED TRUMP INTO OFFICE. SOME OF THE LESSONS WERE ON HOW TO PRETEND YOU’RE REALLY INTERESTED IN WHAT THESE COUNTRY-ASS HILLBILLIES HAVE TO SAY, PUTTING UP WITH ICEBERG LETTUCE IN YOUR SALAD INSTEAD OF ARUGULA, TAKING A SELFIE ON A TRACTOR, AND PRETENDING YOU’RE AGAINST GOVERNMENT INTRUSION INTO EVERY ASPECT OF THEIR LIVES.
“We didn’t tell the stories of all Americans,” the Meet the Press host admitted Thursday to former Bush White House press secretary Ari Fleischer in a interview for the “1947” podcast.
“Where I think political correctness got in the way of what we all knew as reporters and didn’t fully deliver was how hated the Clintons were in the heartland.”
“And I think it was a fear of, ‘Oh, is it going to look like it’s sexist, anti-woman if we say that?’” he added, pointing out that on the hustings he saw numerous “Hillary for Prison” signs adorning the front yards of rural America.
“Tears are running down the cheeks of the Statue of Liberty tonight as a grand tradition of America, welcoming immigrants, that has existed since America was founded has been stomped upon,” Schumer, a Democrat from New York, said in a statement. “Taking in immigrants and refugees is not only humanitarian but has also boosted our economy and created jobs decade after decade. This is one of the most backward and nasty executive orders that the president has issued.”
“Forty-one years ago that couple from Haiti could have made the choice to abort, but they didn’t,” Love said. “They chose life. I’m certain that this couple would never have thought that that child would become the first black female Republican ever to be elected to Congress.”
I HESITATED TO POST THIS. THIS GUY IS A PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A SUBHUMAN MONGREL.
The play, titled, “Barron Trump Up Past Bedtime”, stars comedian Shannon Noll as Barron and is set for the Revival Theater in Hyde Park, the neighborhood of Trump’s predecessor former President Barack Obama. Melania Trump will also be targeted in character on stage. But the main target, of course, is President Trump.
[CtH: From the article linked below: “I specifically created this character so that he bears no resemblance in personality to what we’ve seen of Barron Trump. I’m just playing him as a generic kid.” Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh … the lead looks like Barron Trump and the character is named Barron Trump, but he’s “a generic kid”? Riiiiiiiiiiiight. What. A. Load. Of. Crap. They would NEVER have done this about the Obama girls. Not. Ever.]
THIS IS WHAT PASSES FOR COMEDY IN THE SOCIALIST WORLD. AND THEY WONDER HOW THEY LOST.
Noll said that Barron Trump “is absolutely not the butt of a joke.”
YEAH, RIGHT.
“It’s a variety show in the style of ‘Pee-wee’s Playhouse’ and it’s basically Barron Trump getting read a bedtime story, and then deciding to stay up past his bedtime and play with his imaginary friends,” Noll said Friday.
THERE’S ANOTHER POST AT GATEWAY THAT INCLUDE SOME REALLY VILE TWEETS ABOUT THE LITTLE BOY. I WOULDN’T BOTHER TO LOOK.
Executive departments and agencies shall employ all lawful means to enforce the immigration laws of the United States .
Executive departments and agencies shall remove all removable aliens, with priority given to removable aliens who have committed criminal offenses or abused any program related to receipt of public benefits.
The Secretary shall immediately take all appropriate steps to immediately plan, design, and construct a physical wall along the southern border.
The Secretary shall issue new policy to terminate “catch and release” and the abuse of parole and asylum provisions. Unaccompanied alien children shall be properly processed, receive appropriate care and placement, and, when appropriate, be safely repatriated.
The Secretary shall, on a weekly basis, make public all sanctuary cities. Jurisdictions that fail to comply with applicable Federal law shall not receive Federal funds, except as mandated by law.
The Secretary shall, on a weekly basis, make public a comprehensive list of criminal actions committed by aliens. Victims of crimes committed by removable aliens shall receive support.
Trump’s order to start building the wall is not by-passing Congress. Back in 2006, Congress passed a law authorizing the construction of 700 miles of fencing along the southern border, as well as additional lights, cameras and sensors to enhance security.
Then, Democrats got control of Congress a few months later and put an amendment into a 2008 spending bill that took all the teeth out of the 2006 law.
IOW, Democrats buried an unpopular measure they wanted inside a spending bill so they could avoid standing up and taking responsibility for blocking something Americans want done.
But, and this is a big but, the original law was never repealed. Congress doesn’t have to pass a new law to begin construction. All they have to do is package the funds necessary to build the original and substantial law into a massive spending bill.
Democrats would have a politically hard time blocking construction, since it would require them to block the spending bill and shut down the government, something they mocked Republicans for doing in the past.
Barack Obama, Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton all voted for the 2006 law. So did Chuck Schumer and a whole host of other Democrats in the House and Senate, many of whom are still in Congress.
President Trump has said the wall will be from 35 to 50 feet high and made of pre-cast concrete. He also plans to figure out a way to make Mexico pay for it.
Lots of good stuff in this video welcoming General John Kelly to his new job heading up DHS.
“When it comes to public safety, there’s no room for politics.”
“I will be a president for everyone.”
“We will heal our country.”
President Trump at the Dept of Homeland Security [16:31]
On Fox News Wednesday night, Laura Wilkerson of https://www.enforcethelaw.org/ debated immigration activist (and illegal immigrant) Jose Antonio Vargas on President Donald Trump’s new executive orders on immigration.
Vargas said that yesterday was a “tough” day for him because of Trump’s executive action. Wilkerson, whose son was killed by an illegal, responded, “I don’t know if you understand what a tough day is in the life of a parent who’s lost a child at the hands of an illegal in this country.”
The trouble with having severe sleep apnea is that you sleep a lot during the day, so it’s sometimes difficult to sleep at night. It happens to me a lot. Since I have to get up about 12:30 AM anyway, I thought I’d do something constructive.
BEFORE I START, YOU MUST SEE THE LATEST BLR VIDEO. HILLARY IS HILARIOUS.
Trump, Mike Pence, Barack Obama, Clarence Thomas, John Roberts and George W. Bush were all featured in the video, but nobody got it worse than Secretary Hillary Clinton.
‘Angel’ Families to Meet with Trump as New Immigration Policy Orders Signed
THIS IS BRILLIANT. THE MEDIA WILL FOCUS ON THE POOR ILLEGAL FAMILIES THAT WILL BE FORCED TO GO BACK HOME.
TRUMP IS FOCUSING ON THE FAMILIES WHO HAVE BEEN VICTIMIZED BY THESE MONGRELS.
“Angel” parents Mary Ann Mendoza and Steve Ronnebeck traveled to Washington, D.C. from Arizona to meet with the President on Wednesday. They count among the parents to whom Trump gave the opportunity to tell their stories as he campaigned across the United States.
Economist Says Stock Market Gained $2 TRILLION in Wealth Since Trump Elected Elizabeth MacDonald recounted how former President Barack Obama told a crowd in 2016 that Trump would need a “magic wand” to bring lost jobs and manufacturing back to America.
Moore said that statement, compounded with Democrats’ becoming “subservient” to billionaire Tom Steyer and his climate-change-advocate allies, have opened the door for union cooperation with the White House.
Obama ordered a crack dealer freed. Masked gunmen stormed in and executed him first Convicted crack cocaine dealer Damarlon Thomas was executed Monday night, police said, when two masked men came looking for him. President Obama had commuted his sentence. He was scheduled to be released.
He’d been sentenced twice to probation for selling drugs before the big Sunnyside bust in 2007, in which he admitted to selling 14 grams of crack to a government informant.
Spicer: White House May Want a National Voter ID Law IN 2008 AND 2012, OBAMA WON EVERY STATE WITHOUT VOTER I.D. HE LOST EVERY STATE THAT DID REQUIRE I.D. IF THIS PASSES,THE DEMOCRATS ARE IN DEEP SHIT. THEY CAN’T WIN IF THEY CAN’T CHEAT.
The press secretary noted that people often vote twice and even dead people are some states’ voter rolls. As such, the White House is ready to take necessary steps to “study to understand the scope of the problem and to stop the problem going forward.”
One solution President Trump may propose, Spicer mused, is a national voter ID law for all Americans.
“Voting is most sacred right that we have,” Spicer insisted, adding they “must ensure that we know every person’s vote counts equally.”
Liberals desperately fight demoralization
The Women’s March was more a mass group therapy than the launch of a new “resistance” movement We have seen such demoralization play itself out in the crying, group cry-ins, and generally hysterical reaction to Trump’s victory.
It’s likely to get worse before it gets better.
Trump is fast out of the gate, and throwing out so much change so fast, it has liberals demoralized.
MORE IN THE COMMENT SECTION.
I SPEND A LOT OF TIME DOING THIS AND RARELY ASK FOR ANYTHING.
I HOPE YOU ALL READ THE POST I DID YESTERDAY WITH THE VETERANS’ OPEN LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT.
I THINK YOU’LL BE RENEWED AS MUCH AS I WAS.
A lot of people in D.C. are waking to the realization that Donald Trump means what he says. He is making good on his promises at a dizzying rate. No time for speeches or useless puffery. He’s all business and it’s already making some skeptics tired trying to keep up.
Congress Reintroduces Bill That Gives Governors the Option to Reject Refugees Under the State Refugee Security Act of 2017, the federal government must give states at least 21 days’ notice that they plan to resettle a refugee there. If a governor maintains that the government has failed to prove the refugee presents no security threat, they can refuse to accept him or her.
GOP Senators Unveil Patient Freedom Act to Replace Obamacare “We need comprehensive legislation,” Collins continued. “It’s still a work in progress. … But if we don’t start putting specific legislation on the table that can be debated, refined, amended and enacted, then we will fail the American people.”
Days Into Trump Admin, Corrupt Employees Are Already Being Fired At The VA Days into Donald Trump’s administration, heads are finally beginning to roll at the Department of Veterans Affairs. Two notoriously corrupt employees in Puerto Rico were fired this week, indicating that more may be on the way.
One is the hospital’s CEO, DeWayne Hamlin, who offered an employee $305,000 to quit after she played a role in exposing his drug arrest.
“Mr. DeWayne Hamlin was removed from federal service effective January 20, 2017,” the VA said. Jan. 20 was Inauguration Day.
Trump: ‘We Are Bringing Manufacturing Back to the United States Big League’
Bringing manufacturing jobs back to the United States was a cornerstone of Trump’s campaign. On Monday, the president signed an executive order withdrawing the U.S. from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, another facet of his pro-worker campaign promises.
U.S. House votes to permanently ban taxpayer funding of abortion The No Taxpayer Funding of Abortion Act (HR 7), introduced by Rep. Chris Smith, R-NJ, makes permanent the so-called Hyde Amendment permanent. Thus far the amendment, which prohibits federal money from being used to fund abortions through Medicaid, has been subject to annual renewal.
The Charlotte Lozier Institute estimates the Hyde Amendment has saved over two million lives since it was enacted in 1976.

Democrats And Republicans Unite To Rescind Last-Minute Obama Order Seeking Federal Election Takeover All 50 state secretaries of state are urging the Trump administration to rescind a last-minute Department of Homeland Security directive calling state election systems “critical infrastructure.”
Many state officials fear this is the first step toward a federal takeover of state-run elections, The Daily Caller News Foundation has learned.
E-Verify Use May Soon Be Required Of All Employers THIS WOULD BE YUGE
Every employer in America may soon have to use E-Verify to check the legal status of their employees.
Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley introduced a bill Tuesday requiring all employers to use the now-voluntary, internet-based E-Verify system to certify employee immigration status and terminate anyone who fails the test.
Tuesday at the White House press briefing when Breitbart’s Charlie Spiering asked press secretary Sean Spicer about the Trump administration’s plans for Friday’s March for Life, Spicer said, “Obviously we’re going to have heavy administration presence there.”
Trump Orders EPA To Take Down Global Warming Web-Page “If the website goes dark, years of work we have done on climate change will disappear,” the staffer told Reuters Tuesday. The staffer was not authorized to speak to the media and claimed EPA employees were scrambling to save data on the website.
Trump told El-Sisi his administration is committed to maintaining the US’s annual military aid to Egypt.
El-Sisi stressed to Trump Egypt’s commitment in the fight against terrorism despite economic burdens the country faced in the past three years.
Meanwhile, Trump reiterated to the Egyptian president his appreciation for the difficulties Egypt endured in the fight against terrorism, and commended El-Sisi on the country’s economic reform program.
The two presidents affirmed their belief in the strategic nature of the relationship between Cairo and Washington.
Egypt annually receives $1.3 billion in military aid from the United States.
Trump State Department Freezes Obama’s $221 Million Parting Gift To The Palestinians The Trump administration has frozen Obama’s parting gift to the the Palestinians.
Former US President Barack Obama, in his waning hours, quietly released $221 million to the Palestinian Authority (PA), which Congress had been blocking.
The Trump administration announced it is freezing the move.
It begins. The inquisition against Jeff Sessions, a moral and Godly man strictly for the purposes of political posturing will be forced to defend himself against phony racism charges from people who have worked beside him for 20 years. The hearing is in progress as I bang on this keyboard, so this is an ongoing process. I have it on in the background and it is difficult to listen to the likes of Leahy, Durbin and Feinstein pontificate when they’re all as crooked as a dog’s hind leg.
Sen. Jeff Sessions’ granddaughter captured hearts at his Tuesday attorney general confirmation hearing. While opening statements were read, Sessions played with his granddaughter, who occasionally interrupted proceedings with adorable toddler babbling.
Senator Jeff Sessions desegregated schools in Alabama and took on the KKK in the state. Democrats are desperate to stop the Alabama Senator’s confirmation. This morning Code Pink activists greeted Senator Sessions dressed as KKK members.
Cory Booker to Testify Against Sessions in Unprecedented Move So much for the ‘peaceful transition’ that the Democrats said they would facilitate. Democrat Senator Cory Booker is set to testify against Republican Senator Jeff Sessions in an unprecedented move during his attorney general confirmation.
This is going to be the first time in history that a sitting senator will testify against another sitting senator for a Cabinet post during a confirmation.
Democratic Sen. Cory Booker (N.J.) thanked his colleague Sen. Jeff Sessions (R., Ala.) last year at the Capitol for his help celebrating the 1965 “Foot Soldiers,” those who marched from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama to promote civil rights for African Americans.
THAT WAS THEN. THIS IS NOW. GOT TO MAKE POLITICAL HAY.
The incident set the stage for what will no doubt be an ugly attempt by Democrats to assassinate the character of the gentleman from Alabama.
Some Democrats are calling him by his given name, Jefferson Beauregard Sessions – a wink-wink, nod-nod to the Civil War – as if he’s a slave-holding plantation owner.
[CtH: Remember when they were offended by people calling Candidate Obama “Barack Hussein Obama”?]
Hans Von Spakovsky: Democrats Oppose Jeff Sessions Because He’ll Enforce Our Immigration Laws “But Democrats really don’t like him because of his views on issues,” he continued. “For example, they really don’t want someone who’s actually going to enforce our immigration laws. They’ve been giving him a hard time in the civil rights area too, even though many of their criticisms really have been false.
SiriusXM host Raheem Kassam suggested that Democrats would be “uncouth” to Sessions to gin up donations and political support from their base.
Sessions Tells Senators: ‘You Know I Believe in Fairness, Impartiality and Equal Justice’ “You know who I am,” he said. “You know what I believe in. You know that I am a man of my word and can be trusted to do what I say I will do. You know that I revere our Constitution and that I am committed to the rule of law. And you know that I believe in fairness, impartiality, and equal justice under the law.”
In particular, Feinstein insisted that Sessions’ job does not include the prosecution of former secretary of state Hillary Clinton, who we all know abused her email use and put national security at risk. During the 2016 presidential campaign, Trump suggested that he was going to hire a special prosecutor to “look into her situation.”
“The attorney general must put aside loyalty to the president,” she said. The law and Constitution, she emphasized, must come first and foremost.

Report: Trump orders Obama-appointed ambassadors to leave posts by inauguration DON’T LET THE DOOR HIT YOU ON THE WAY OUT
President-elect Trump’s transition team has reportedly ordered all ambassadors appointed by President Obama to leave their posts by the time the billionaire is sworn in — no exceptions.
That plan could leave the United States without Senate-confirmed diplomats in critical countries for months.
But several American diplomats familiar with the order told the New York Times that Trump’s team will not allow any extensions.
Joe Biden: No, Syria ‘Is Not a Failure’ Listen to the question from PBS’s Judy Woodruff. She clearly believes Syria is one of the great failures of this Administration. Biden will have none of it.

MOST PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT FROM ILLINOIS ARE NOT AWARE THAT OBAMA RAN FOR U.S. REP IN 1992. HE WAS BEATEN BADLY BY RUSH, A FORMER BLACK PANTHER. GUESS BARRY WASN’T BLACK ENOUGH THEN. JUST ANOTHER CORRUPT BLACK DEMOCRAT.
[CtH: I did not know Obama had ever lost an election.]
Rep. Bobby Rush (D., Ill.) made payments to four family members that combined to more than $100,000 during the 2016 election cycle, campaign finance records show.
A wellness center associated with the church the congressman founded also received more than $2 million in government grants last year.
Oops, Yahoo Says Trump Wants What Kind Of A Navy? Yahoo subsequently apologized for the ‘spelling error’.
When President Obama took office in January 2009, 80,529,000 Americans were not in the labor force, the highest number on record. That number rose steadily during his two terms, reaching a record 95,055,000 in November 2016, then setting another record (95,102,000) in December.
In an interview with a Chicago reporter yesterday, Obama said he has done “an enormous amount” to create greater economic opportunity for Americans.
“I took an economy that was about to go into a Great Depression, and we’ve now had a little over six years of straight economic job growth, an unemployment rate that’s down below 5 percent, and incomes that have gone up and poverty that has gone down.”
But people who stop looking for a job are no longer counted as unemployed.
New Sheriff Who Defeated Arpaio (With Help of Soros) Calls Illegal Aliens “Guests” Newly sworn-in Maricopa County, Arizona, Sheriff Paul Penzone, in a January 4 interview with Phoenix TV station ABC 15, referred to illegal aliens as “guests.”
Penzone defeated Arpaio by 665,478 votes (55.6 percent) to Arpaio’s 531,674 votes (44.4 percent).
Leftist billionaire George Soros spent $2 million of his own money to get Arpaio out of office.

FROM THE PENTHOUSE TO THE OUTHOUSE…WHAT A JOKE
Send in the Head Clowns The delusional Democrats of 2017
Republicans control the House, the Senate, 34 governor’s mansions, and 4,100 seats in state legislatures. But Democrats act like they run Washington. Nancy Pelosi’s speech to the 115th House of Representatives was a long-winded recitation of the same liberal agenda that has brought her party to its current low. Give her points for consistency I guess. Chuck Schumer is just being delusional.
Linking the higher power, Milbank fawned, “Watching the final days of the Obama administration, one suspects the Hawaiian-born president could empathize with Maui.”
If that kind of slobbering praise wasn’t enough, the journalist strained to connect the President to George Washington: “Announcing he was following in George Washington’s footsteps, he scheduled a farewell address next week.”
