Where did it come from, who does it really affect, and why does Trump want to rescind it? Can we find common ground with the Left on this issue?

Four Minutes to Destiny
While doing research for today’s screeds, I came across a tidbit that said in the event that little pig in North Korea launched a missile, the president would have approximately four minutes to decide whether it was a nuclear device and what to do about it. We all know what Obama would have done… go on vacation somewhere. Trump has largely been a disappointment, allowing one adviser after another lead him in different directions. His vacillating on a promise to deport illegals of all ages may be due to Javanka having his ear. In any case, I think he’s smart enough to leave the military decisions to the professionals, something that Barry never would have done, seeing how he’s the smartest man who ever lived and all.
The United Nations wants to do what they always do in a crisis… blame Israel and grab US taxpayer money. The resolutions they churn out are as useless as tits on a boar hog, as my grandfather used to say. W wasted 14 long months getting resolution after resolution from the UN, just to try to satisfy the democrats, which is always a fool’s errand. Saddam must have thought we were a bunch of fools as he hid his chemical weapons and military ordnance in Syria before we finally took decisive action.
My fear is that Kim Jong Un cares nothing about the consequences of an attack on Guam, Japan, or mainland USA. He’s like a modern day Caligula, having absolute power of life and death over an entire country. He allows people to starve while he hoards a massive food supply for himself and the army that keeps him in power. He has built a system of hardened shelters deep underground and could survive for a very long time if he had to. This clown is famous for killing his own family, what does he care about millions of innocent people?
Emergency Security Council Meeting Called
The latest test, which nuclear weapon experts estimated was seven times more powerful than the bomb the U.S. dropped on Hiroshima, Japan in 1945, was condemned by Secretary General Antonio Guterres, who called the act a “serious breach” of the country’s international obligations.

North Korea Nuclear Progress Puts Iran on Renewed Pathway to Bomb
Sources told the Washington Free Beacon that Pyongyang continues to stockpile illicit nuclear material on Iran’s behalf in order to help the Islamic Republic skirt restrictions implemented under the landmark nuclear deal
North Korea’s latest nuclear test of a hydrogen bomb has roiled Trump administration officials and led President Donald Trump to consider multiple options for war. However, it also has renewed fears among U.S. officials and foreign policy insiders about Pyongyang’s long-standing relationship with Iran, which centers on providing the Islamic Republic with nuclear technology and know-how.

On Tuesday North Korea was observed moving an intercontinental ballistic missile towards its west coast. The North Korean officials moved the missile at night to avoid detection.

The Best Laid Plans
The original plan for today was to concentrate on the looming threat posed by that fat little brat in NoKo who would be simply pathetic if it were not for the fact he is so dangerous. I still plan to do it, but first things first.
When AG Sessions announced that Obama’s executive order illegally creating DACA was going to be undone by Trump, the reaction was predictable, as it always is when the left doesn’t get their way 100% of the time. It would be a monumental waste of time to post even a smidgen of the wailing from media whores, bloated political layabouts, and glitterati who think their opinion is so much more important than yours, and you need to pay attention because they’re really, really smart.
It is obvious that the alternative to President Trump that we were faced with would be far, far worse, but damn, he is frustrating the hell out of us. He would sign ANY legislation Congress sent him, just to say he did it. The lazy bastards in the GOP are in no hurry to do anything they could be called on and their friends the democrats aren’t about to help.
This really pissed me off:
Trump Explicitly Calls For Amnesty, Says He Might ‘Revisit’ DACA Decision
HE SAID, ESSENTIALLY, SIT ON YOUR ASSES FOR 6 MONTHS AND I’LL REINSTATE DACA. A REAL NO-BRAINER FOR THE DO-NOTHINGS.
“Congress now has 6 months to legalize DACA (something the Obama Administration was unable to do),” Trump tweeted. “If they can’t, I will revisit this issue!”
“Congress now has the opportunity to advance responsible immigration reform that puts American jobs and American security first,” Trump said in a statement following Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ announcement about the rescinding of DACA. Trump’s call for a legislative amnesty is a departure from his campaign rhetoric in which he said there would be “no amnesty.”
Trump to Congress: Legalize DACA (or I Will Revisit)
But by late Tuesday, Trump appeared to have turned into a paper tiger on the key campaign promise to get rid of DACA, saying he would “revisit this issue” if Congress did not “legalize DACA.”
It is unlikely that Trump’s “America First” base, which supported Trump in part because of his focus on illegal immigration, will be satisfied with anything approaching a repeat of DACA — either by Congress or presidential pen.
Perhaps sensing a possible cave, conservative commentator Ann Coulter tweeted before the announcement that millions of voters “not only won’t vote for [Trump] again, but will never vote Republican again if they pass this DACA amnesty.”
Graham, Durbin To DREAMers: ‘Don’t Give Up Hope, You Have Done Nothing Wrong’

WE HAVE COME TO EXPECT NO LESS FROM THESE CARRION CROWS

There Is No Such Thing As a ‘Deserving DREAMer’
I, I, I. Me, me, me. My bills. My ego. My education. My job. My anxiety. Since when did DACA become the Depression and Anxiety Cure for Amnesty-seekers?
It’s this insatiable appetite for collective entitlement that demonstrates the perils of blanket amnesty. Give a privileged political class an inch and they’ll take, take, take until feckless public servants give away their country.

Prayers Needed
In addition to your prayers for those devastated by Hurricane Harvey, please remember to pray for those affected by the huge wildfire in LA. Last I heard, it was 30% contained.
Also continue to pray that Hurricane Irma fizzles. It’s looking like it may hit Florida on Friday. Ditto the 50+ wildfires in Montana and Idaho where more than half a million acres are going up in smoke.

Woman of the People=> Hillary to Charge Toronto Residents $2400 to Meet Her on Her Book Tour
Failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton proves once again that she truly is the woman of the people while she charges Toronto residents $2400 each to meet her on her book tour.
Hillary also announced that she would FINALLY be visiting Wisconsin, a state she ignored during the Presidential election and ultimately lost to Donald Trump-to promote her new book. Hillary has no shame. She’ll travel to places to collect money and peddle her book, but didn’t care enough to talk to the American people face to face during the election.
One thing is for sure, Hillary Clinton has been consistent about one thing her entire life–her insatiable greed
The opportunity to meet Clinton on her book tour is something that best-selling conservative author, radio host and political humorist Mark Steyn called “a hell of a steal” during a Wednesday appearance on Tucker Carlson Tonight.

A Coward Dies a Thousand Deaths
First, I’d like to ask you to join in holding our beloved Chrissy and her family up in prayer as they face a monumental struggle. We all have faced obstacles to some degree, it’s a part of life. Almighty God sets challenges before us and only complete faith in Him will see us through.
The mask is off.The true intent of elected republican officials has been exposed.Their forte is that of playing the role of Walter Mitty-like characters raging against their democrat foes when they are in the minority and have nothing to lose.Time and again,they have railed against what the ruthless Barack Obama and his co-conspirators have wrought,such as Obamacare,immigration,deregulation and tax relief.It’s easy to boast about what you would do if ‘you only had the power.’Even with control of both the House and the Senate Obama acted as a governing body unto himself.
The GOP was given everything they claimed they needed with the election of Donald Trump last November.Eight months on they have accomplished nothing.The shameful truth is that they never intended to.Leading is hard.Someone may say bad things about you.Democrats have a most powerful weapon in their most dedicated allies, the media.The Alt Right has no such help.
The true patriots of this nation face a Hobson’s Choice.Vote for these yellow cowards or allow our country to fall into the clutches of Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer once again.
“Vote them out!” you say.Won’t happen.the entrenched elite have the power to crush all challengers to maintain the status quo.During the Tea Party movement in 2010 they picked up more than 80 seats in Congress.Most had never held elected office before.When they got to Washington they were summarily ordered by McConnell,Boehner and the rest of the reptiles to shut up,do what you’re told or their tenure in DC would be a short one.They would be deprived of committee assignments and would face primary challengers fully funded by the RNC and their corporate masters.
Dianne over at Patriot Retort posted an article this morning on the real reason the republicans don’t want DACA to end:
The reason President Obama, in his unconstitutional role as pretend legislator, unilaterally created DACA was because the actual legislative branch did not have the votes to pass an actual law.
And the reason is simple.
Americans were sick and tired of Washington bending over backwards for illegal aliens while we take it up the back door.
But instead of accepting that the American people – through their representatives – were saying “no” to the DREAM Act, Barack Obama simply passed the DREAM Act with the stroke of a pen.
As if he was both the Executive branch and the Legislative branch.
In other words, Obama violated the constitutional Separation of Powers to enact a law Congress couldn’t pass.
And at the time he did this, most Republicans in Congress were outraged.
Even Paul Ryan whined like a stuck pig about how unconstitutional DACA was.
But that was all for show.
They know if Trump ends DACA, they will be forced to act on the so-called DREAM Act.
And the last thing these guys want is to once again be seen screwing over their constituents while being caught in yet another campaign lie.So if Trump ends it — and they are forced to betray their voters while siding with Democrats and illegal aliens – Republican incumbents know they’ll be in trouble in 2018.
And when the choices are war or dishonor, Congressional Republicans will always choose dishonor.

RINO Lindsey Graham: We Will Work to Find DACA Fix
In 2007 while speaking to the radical La Raza organization, Graham said he was going to tell the “bigots” who opposed amnesty to “shut up.”
“If President Trump chooses to cancel the DACA program and give Congress six months to find a legislative solution, I will be supportive of such a position,” Graham said in a statement. “I have always believed DACA was a presidential overreach. However, I equally understand the plight of the Dream Act kids who — for all practical purposes — know no other country than America.”
TRANSLATION: WE CAN PUT OFF MAKING ANY HARD DECISIONS INDEFINITELY BECAUSE WE WANT TO PRETEND WE CARE ABOUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AS MUCH AS WE CARE ABOUT OURSELVES
FROM KURT SCHLICHTER AT HOT AIR:
Yeah, so after nearly two years of tiresome finger-wagging about “the Rule of Law” and how we need to put our “principles” above our desire for “winning,” the whole sordid scam we always knew it always was is revealed for the world to see. They can’t hide it anymore and they aren’t even trying. Their glorious “conservative principles” aren’t principles at all but a skeevy ploy designed to tie our hands and keep us from pursuing policy goals our establishment coalition partners disfavor. They want open borders. They want illegals. They want cheap foreign labor that doesn’t get uppity to man their donors’ corporations so the Captains of Crony Capitalism don’t have to fuss with American workers who won’t tolerate being treated like chattel. Yeah, “we’re better than that” all right – if you mean that we are better than enforcing the laws the American people passed through a constitutional process if the ruling class decides it doesn’t like them.
“The Rule of Law” is for us, not for them. “The Rule of Law” was supposed to be a shield to protect us from the ravages of the powerful, but our Truer-Than-You Cons
use it as a sword to cut our legs out from under us and keep us from defending our own interests.
Report: Obama ready to “speak out” if Trump cancels DACA
THE FORMER PRESIDENT HAS THREATENED TO TAKE TIME OUT OF HIS BUSY VACATION SCHEDULE TO SPEAK BEFORE THE SWOONING MEDIA, WHO’VE BEEN CAST ADRIFT SINCE HE WAS FORCED TO LEAVE OFFICE.
He said he would not remain silent in the face of “efforts to round up kids who have grown up here and for all practical purposes are American kids, and send them someplace else, when they love this country.”…
“Back to a country they don’t know with a language they don’t speak?” the person close to Obama said. “It’s cruel.”
Why attack Trump now? I think there’s more to it than DACA just being near and dear to Obama’s heart. He knows that congressional Republicans are going to be jammed up here to an unusual degree. Immigration is a fraught issue for the GOP under the best of circumstances but DREAMers are an especially hard case due to their having come here as children.

They were safe, having gone out of state for the eclipse, and have a place to stay (another sister who wasn’t flooded). But they (and everyone in their neighborhood) lost EVERYTHING.

Of Course: CNN to Air New Reagan-Bashing Film on Labor Day
On Labor Day, CNN will air The Reagan Show, a new film bashing the 40th president. In case you thought it would be anything other than hostile, the ads make the goal clear. A clip of Reagan saying, “Together we will make America great again,” is paired with a blurb from the website Screen Daily: “An elaborately constructed parable for the Trump era.”
National Review exposed just how nasty the documentary is:
The continuing popularity of President Reagan is a source of profound irritation and unease to liberals. To assuage their pain, they have gone back to their initial rationalization for how Reagan became so beloved: He cheated. Though a lousy actor, he nonetheless fooled the common man with his mesmeric performing skills. It’s the old false-consciousness story: If we liked the man, trickery must have been involved.

MTP Panelist Claims DACA Opposition by Trump Base Driven by Race
DIDN’T SEE THAT ONE COMING, RIGHT?
According to the professor, Trump was only playing to his base who only cared about DACA because they were white. “We can think about the policy issues but there is this kind of cultural undertow,” he asserted.
“This is really red meat to his base that it’s really speaking to a kind of deep seated cultural anxiety about the changing nature of the country,” he claimed. “That this immigration issue is not about securing the border and it’s not about jobs, it’s not about fixing a bad immigration policy.”

Trump cuts $ for Obamacare promoters
The budget for Obamacare “navigators” is being cut by 90%.
And good riddance! Last year, they received over $62.5 million in federal grants while enrolling only 81,426 individuals. One program was paid $200,000 and signed up only one person. I haven’t done the math, but I’m thinking maybe we could have insured those people for less.
