In addition to the Progressive-Democrats’ disdain for national borders and their desire to abolish ICE, there’s this from Jennifer Wexton (D, VA), with 60,000 civilian veterans and thousands more active duty vets in her district. The Congresswoman
removed the POW/MIA flag in front of her office….
Apparently, only some of the Party’s constituents are to be represented.
The EU is pressing its effort to punish Great Britain for the latter’s effrontery in leaving the EU.
German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas has reiterated that the EU finds a hard border between Ireland and Northern Ireland “unacceptable.” He warned of “serious damage” in the event of a no deal scenario.
Because the EU wants to split Northern Ireland away from Great Britain.
No threat there.
Extending their perpetuation of the existing partial government shutdown, now the Progressive-Democrats won’t even allow the Senate to function.
Senate Democrats on Tuesday blocked the chamber from considering bipartisan foreign-policy legislation in a bid to pressure Republicans to reopen the government….
This is of a piece with their “rebuttal” of President Donald Trump’s Oval Office speech calling for negotiations on a border wall and border security generally, wherein the Progressive-Democrats reiterated their refusal to negotiate at all, and they denied the facts presented regarding our border situation while cynically declining to present their own facts.
And their Wimpy-esque promise to gladly negotiate the wall later for a government opening today? Trump tweeted of Wednesday’s abbreviated meeting with Progressive-Democrat and Republican leaders,
I asked what is going to happen in 30 days if I quickly open things up, are you going to approve Border Security which includes a Wall or Steel Barrier? Nancy said, NO.
So much for the believability of Progressive-Democrat commitments.
Remember this in the coming election season.
Here come the Progressive-Democrats, and they’ve made their priorities clear in the House with the first things they want to get done. Here’s some of what’s in their HR1:
For Progressive-Democrats, it’s all about personal political power. Remember this in the coming election season.
A Fox News piece centered on the refusal of some “caravan” participants’ refusal to leave a closed Tijuana warehouse and go to a better shelter facility—but a few miles farther away from our border—closed with this comment from 40-yr-old Honduran Norma Perez, who traveled with her 5-yr-old child. She wants President Donald Trump to
personally go to Honduras so he can see with his own eyes that we simply can’t go back, that there are no jobs, no companies, nothing.
Never mind that all the foreign aid we’ve been sending to Honduras to help with precisely those conditions has been going into the pockets of Honduran authorities; very little of it has made it to folks like Perez. Since she’s never seen any of the money or any of the economic benefits from the money, there’s no reason she would know of it in the first place.
However, it is well-known that the Mexican government has offered all of the “caravan” participants asylum and work permits. Perhaps Perez should personally go to those Mexican authorities and accept the asylum and work permit offers. And stop holding her child at risk.
