The "money line" quote from the article:

And please do not lecture me about separating families. When amnesty panderers find a way to resurrect Kate Steinle, then they can lecture about the young illegals who face deportation. At least those young radicals can still go home, embrace their families and friends, and live their lives. They will survive returning to their home countries and returning legally.

The article from Townhall.com:

https://townhall.com/columnists/arthurschaper/2017/09/08/but-i-feel-guilt-when-i-say-deport-n2378620?utm_source=thdaily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl&newsletterad=
"But I Feel Guilt When I Say ‘Deport’!”

Well, not me per se. I’m with Ann Coulter. She captured the cry of many hearts in this country following Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ announcement to rescind DACA:

"We Made Donald %#&@ Trump PRESIDENT -- What Else Can We Do?

Why the outrage? GOP leadership want to make an amnesty Satan Sandwich. Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are lining up to help. At least 18 Republicans in the House and the Senate are climbing over themselves to do something about the poor illegal kids. Their average age is 26, by the way—Obamacare metrics for maturity, perhaps?

In spot-on fashion, Coulter reported how the voters in this country—among Republicans, Tea Party activists, and even Democrats, both "moderate” as well as left-wing—have fought militantly against amnesty of any kind. The wide swath of Main Street doesn’t want more immigration. I have friends and contacts here in Los Angeles County, registered Democrats, who have told me that they will vote Republican if that candidate will stop illegal immigration. This issue is no longer Democrat v. Republican. The consensus to stop the overrunning of our borders by illegals, as well as the swarming of our labor markets with cheap labor is strong. In California, per a study conducted by uber-liberal, anti-free speech UC Berkeley, 80 percent of respondents—80 percent!-oppose sanctuary cities.

What more do we need to shove in our politicians’ faces? We pushed Trump into the White House, and even he doesn’t seem keen on keeping this key promise to repeal DACA and end the backdoor amnesty which has followed. A new report indicatesthat the fraud rates with this unconstitutional program reach as high as 50 percent! Imagine that half the people filling out forms for this temporary stay, which needs to go, are not even eligible for the program. Forget that: these individuals are not even eligible to live in the country to begin with!

Trump won the election, in spite of the most heated efforts from the corrupt media, the political class on both sides of the aisle, plus the finagling of Big Business. Trump even picked up a higher voter margin than Romney in Oakland, Compton, and Inglewood, California last year. Why? These large, urban areas contain black voting blocs, which turned out for Trump since he boldly tackled a key issue which has decimated their communities and opportunities: illegal immigration. "Sanctuary cities are racist!”exclaimed Chanell Temple during a Cudahy city council meeting earlier this year. Her battle cry went viral. Why won’t Washington listen?

It’s not big business—everyone loves seeing Silicon Valley melt into tears, especially after their harsh, fascist boardro

The Democrats likely stole Vermont in the last election - both a Senate seat and the Presidential vote. According to Breitbart:

"According to statistics released by the Speaker of the New Hampshire House of Representatives, on the date of the general election in November 2016, there were 6,540 same-day registrants who registered to vote in New Hampshire using an out-of-state driver’s license to prove their identity. In and of itself, that doesn’t prove that any fraud occurred – theoretically, each of those individuals could have been someone who recently moved to the State and had not yet had time to get a New Hampshire driver’s license. According to New Hampshire law, a new resident has 60 days to obtain a New Hampshire driver’s license.

So if those 6,540 voters were bona fide New Hampshire residents, they would get their driver’s license no later than January 7, 2017. However, the numbers tell a very different story. It turns out that, as of August 30, 2017 – nearly ten months after the election – only 1,014 of the 6,540 same-day registrants who registered with an out-of-state license had obtained a New Hampshire driver’s license. The other 5,526 individuals never obtained a New Hampshire driver’s license. And, of those 5,526, only 213 registered a vehicle in New Hampshire.

So 5,313 of those voters neither obtained a New Hampshire driver’s license nor registered a vehicle in New Hampshire. They have not followed the legal requirements for residents regarding driver’s licenses, and it appears that they are not actually residing in New Hampshire. It seems that they never were bona fide residents of the State.

5,513 is a big number – more than enough to swing two very important elections. The closest major election was the contest between incumbent Republican U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte and challenger Maggie Hassan (D). Hassan won the election by a razor-thin margin of 1,017 votes. Those 5,313 fraudulent votes were more than enough to swing the election. If 59.2 percent or more of them went for Hassan, then the election was stolen through voter fraud. That’s likely, since the surrounding states are Democrat strongholds.

It’s also possible that New Hampshire’s four electoral college votes were swung to Hillary Clinton through illegal voting by nonresidents. Clinton won New Hampshire by only 2,732 votes. If 74.8 percent of the 5,513 fraudulent votes were cast for Clinton, then the presidential election in New Hampshire was tipped as well.

If the presidential contest had been closer and had come down to a margin of three or four electoral college votes, then this voter fraud might have had extraordinary consequences. Regardless, in the Senate contest, it is highly likely that voting by nonresidents changed the result."

End excerpt.

The more we dig into this vote fraud business the more it appears that Trump was right and he may well have won the popular vote across America. It's clear the Democrats have been stealing elections for a long time and hope to do so in the future. Time we start throwing the book at vote thieves.

North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un has threated the United States with an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack. According to Breitbart:

"North Korea threatens to wipe out the United States on a regular basis through its state media. However, this is the first time North Korea has openly threatened to use an EMP weapon.

According to the Associated Press, shortly after North Korea launched its sixth nuclear test using an H-bomb, the "Hermit Kingdom’s” leader Kim Jong-un issued a statement through its state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) claiming the weapon "is a multi-functional thermonuclear nuke with great destructive power which can be detonated even at high altitudes for super-powerful EMP (electromagnetic pulse) attack according to strategic goals.”

Kim reportedly claimed that "all components of the H-bomb were homemade … thus enabling the country to produce powerful nuclear weapons as many as it wants.”

End excerpt.

While the government has probably hardened some facilities, the rest of us are SOL if this should occur, and most of us will wind up dead within the year. Suffering will be beyond description, and it is likely cannibalism will be rampant with a couple of months of the attack. This isn't a joke.

We may well have to invade Korea, whether the Chinese and Russians like it or not. Woe unto the inhabitants of the Earth, for Satan has come down to you in great wrath, for he knows his time is short.

It's kinda like that.

One piece of disagreement with the article which states:

"Protecting North American’s electrical grid against the most devastating consequences of an EMP disruption or attack is simple and would require, at its most basic, a minimal amount of resources. State by state protections are likely."

End excerpt.

Well, in theory it is easy but in practice?  You need to build a  Faraday cage around whatever it is you don't want to blow up. Or shield it with a lot of non-conducting material (like deep underground).  But the grid is MASSIVE and wherever there is a break the EMP will penetrate. It's not like you can shield parts of it; the whole thing is designed to transmit all over the country and shere the pulse hits it will move through the rest of the grid.  Certain spots can be protected, but the problem still remains that the majority of the population are still going to wind up in the dark.

This is a terrible, terrible danger. I've been warning against it for years, long before it became the hot topic it is now.  Read my article warning of this back in 2006.

Dr. Michael Brown (www.askdrbrown.org) is the host of the nationally syndicated Line of Fire radio program. His latest book is

Saving a Sick America: A Prescription for Moral and Cultural Transformation. He's a frequent contributor to Townhall.

And he writes:
Actually, It’s the Religious Left That’s Dying

No sooner had the Nashville Statement [guys, don't ask me what this is] on biblical sexuality been issued then we began

to hear a common refrain from the left. "This is another sign that the religious right is dying! This statement represents the

last gasp of the old, antiquated guard! It’s time to say good bye and good riddance! Let’s welcome the new thing the Spirit is

doing!”

In reality, it is the religious left that is dying, while those who uphold Scripture are seeing blessing and increase

around the globe. Before I back up this statement, here’s what some "progressive” Christian leaders are saying.

Writing for the Huffington Post, seminary professor Greg Lancaster scornfully claims, "Their public audience shrinking,

their public presence waning, and their credibility shot to hell, the Christian right needs attention.”

His article is titled, "The Nashville Statement and the Decline of the Religious Right,” and he concludes with this

salvo: "In the end we’re stuck with a meaningless document. It adds nothing to the conversation that hasn’t been said. If

anything, its fake compassion increases the agony of LGBT Christians. All that’s accomplished by this document is a little

press for the religious leaders who signed it, a whiff of air time for the disenfranchised. The Statement underscores the

obvious: in the age of Trump, the Christian Right has lost its moral authority. These guys — they’re almost all men – may be

have a spiffy website, but nobody’s listening.”

[...]

It is certainly true that many evangelicals, me included, are deeply concerned about the moral and spiritual condition

of our nation. And it is certainly true that we are heavily burdened for the many young people who have dropped out of church

and consider themselves "nones” – having no religious affiliation.

But, as has been demonstrated time and time again, it is the so-called progressive churches that are "leaking” and the

liberal denominations that are fading. This is true in America as well as around the world. And since the so-called progressive

Christians have pointed to numbers, let’s take a more careful look.

Out of the 100 largest churches in America, how many are conservative? The vast majority, at the least. The same with

the fastest growing churches and the fastest growing denominations. Almost all of them hold to conservative biblical values,

even if they are "progressive” and chic and cutting-edge in other ways. Almost all of them would affirm the basic tenets of the

Nashville Statement, at least in private.

Out of the most rapidly shrinking denominations, how many are liberal? Almost all of them? Which seminaries are

bleeding the most, conservative or liberal? Take a guess. And how about major youth gatherings – yes, youth gatherings – for

prayer and worship and teaching? Which events draw the biggest crowds? If you said "conservative” you’d be right again.

Just trying to whet your appetite for the whole thing, which is here:

Fay Voshell

For today’s radical Left, which now has virtually uncontested control of the Democratic Party, racism is the universal and unforgiveable sin. It is also considered a sin that so permeates society that it is ineradicable except by a societal revolution -- one that completely rearranges what is deemed an inherently oppressive hierarchy continually contaminated by microaggressions passed down from tyrannical generation to generation.

It’s well to recall that every age has had a version of a universal and unforgiveable sin, a mark of Cain signifying an ineradicable stain condemning the offending race, ethnicity or class to perpetual ostracization from the rest of society.

For the thirteenth-century poet Dante, the worst sin was betrayal. Betrayers who like the biblical Cain betrayed and slew those closest to them, were consigned to the Ninth Circle of Hell, where they were eternally frozen in ice up to their necks. Julius Caesar’s assassin Brutus lived in that circle, remorsefully and eternally -- yet ineffectively -- shedding tears of ice.

J. Robert Nash notes that for many living in England’s Victorian era, "The morality of the family, no matter what the class, was passionately clung to. To abandon the abiding concept of marriage and the family was to commit the unforgivable sin, the unpardonable betrayal.” Those who broke the code were consigned to the status of outcasts, made eternal wanderers like Cain.

In modern times, the inequities of wealth and the classes seen as wrongfully possessing too much occupied the minds of communists, who sought to rearrange social hierarchy by redistribution of goods and status.

It is also well to remember that numbers of Christians in the American South believed the mark of Cain and the curse of Ham rested on blacks in perpetuity. While the biblical story of Cain never mentions race, even some of the earliest church fathers believed Cain’s skin turned black after he murdered his brother Abel. Later theologians would perpetrate the idea that the descendants of Noah’s son Ham were perpetually doomed to be servants of others. This is to say nothing of the distortion of the New Testament admonitions to Roman slaves to obey their masters.

An entire theological edifice was erected to support the odious system of chattel slavery that once characterized the South. The idea that God intended blacks to remain subject to their owners, most but not all of whom were white, continued to be fixed in the minds and actions of many who considered themselves to be Christians. Thankfully, today virtually none who call themselves Christians continue to believe in the malignant dogmas that supported slavery.

The pernicious idea that a particular race or class of people bears the mark of Cain and so is inherently inferior and deserving of lower status than others has always been an inclination of the human race. That tendency has certainly not been confined to America, but historically has been and is found in all cultures and among all races. Every empire in history has deemed certain peoples as inferior beings who should be conquered.

The use of a single pejorative lens through which to view certain races and classes and through which to interpret all of humanity and its history always results in societal distortions and sometimes unmitigated disaster.

The Stalinist era considered the kulak class of Russia inherently wicked because of their supposedly undeserved prosperity and evil desire to keep what they had worked for. Millions of them starved to death when the Soviet government condemned them as a class, seizing their grain and livestock while collectivizing their land.

Though the genocide of Armenian Christians has never been acknowledged by the government of Turkey, hundreds of thousands were driven out of their homes into the wilderness, there to die exposure and starvation. Many were tortured; some were even crucified.

As most know, the targeting of Jews as an inherently evil race resulted in the near-extermination of European and Slavic Jewry.

Knowledge of the awful results when a particular class, ethnicity or race is deemed as leprous to society and therefore worthy of being diminished, set aside or even killed is a reason why any idea the white race alone is inherently and irretrievably -- in fact, almost genetically -- disposed to the evils of racism should be regarded with deep, deep suspicion.

The current trends in academia -- or what passes for academia -- in which whites are lectured about "white privilege;” where the separation of nonwhites into aggrieved groups which close the door to participation by whites; where whites’ contributions to literature and history are increasingly disdained; and where colonialism is viewed as a purely white phenomenon, are purely toxic and smack of deliberate racism. Every race has been guilty of colonization and oppression, not just white Europeans. It’s well to recall the history of empires. Mongols, for instance, destroyed Kievan Rus and killed or enslaved Russian whites.

Add the media’s and Hollywood’s endless virtue signaling of their own sinlessness while eternally questing for microaggressions committed by whites -- all the while busily revising or openly destroying the memory of the past, and it is difficult if not impossible not to see the onus of the mark of Cain now is being stamped on whites by radicalized fringe groups.

It is now only too common to write and speak of white people as inherently guilty of racism -- born to it, so to speak. Such a theory is a new and revisionist theological version of the older and more accurate theological doctrine of original sin, which essentially acknowledges the truth that every human being ever born, regardless of race or class, will do wrong things. The doctrine of original sin notes that every human being bears a verisimilitude of the Mark of Cain, which mark is often characterized by anger and hatred toward one’s fellow human being. Anger and resentment of the "other” is, as Christ pointed out, an indicator of murderous intent, be it killing outright or by degrees.

Singling out the white race as now bearing the mark of Cain will not rectify the sin of racism. Making whites bear eternal guilt and punishment for past and current offenses will not heal wounds and certainly will not expurgate the sins of the past -- which sins do need to be remembered, repented of and rejected.

What will be achieved is the corruption of the legal principle that every person is responsible for the sins he or she commits and that no one is to be held accountable for the sins of one’s predecessors.

What will be achieved is a caste system characterized by race, some of which are considered untouchable because of the color of their skin; some of which are considered intrinsically more wicked than others; some of which must pay reparations for the sins of the fathers from generation to generation.

What will be achieved is a rigid stratification and hierarchical order that undoes the great, ongoing, and heroic effort of America to give every person a chance to make of one’s self whatever one can. The permeability of the American classes will be vitiated, and a new version of apartheid will rise, accompanied by all the inequities inherent in such an abhorrent social system.

Benjamin Disraeli, once prime minister of England, noted in his novel Sybil what he saw as the three successive great influences in England: "…The influence of races in our early ages, of the Church in our middle, and of parties in our modern destiny are three great moving and modifying powers.”

Though he did not mean "race” in quite the same way as we moderns, it is fair to say that for the better part of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, the Church’s and political parties’ social modifying powers have given way to ideologies based on race, class, and ethnicity. Who among us can forget the odium of Nazi ideology based on hatred of so-called "inferior” races and peoples?

Such ideologies have been and are characterized by the untenable idea that one race (or class) is superior to another, and that one race or class deserves to be considered inherently unequal by reason of birth into their particular race or social class. The horrific results of such ideologies are recorded and incontestable history. Tens of millions have died because it was thought such tainted races and classes deserved to die.

A deliberate remembrance of the Jewish and Christian belief in the origin of mankind and its status as created in the image of God is the remedy to racism, not matter what form it takes.

As Dutch theologian and stateman Abraham Kuyper put it in his lectures on the influence of Calvinism on politics in the Western world, "Man is created by man, and by virtue of his birth he is organically united with the whole human race. Together we form one humanity. All the human race is from one blood.”

Martin Luther King, Jr. would echo Kuyper’s words in speech after speech. He would lose his life because of his bold proclamation of the universality of humanity and his reminder that all derive their value from their Creator. How often did King reprise the Hebrew prophet Malachi’s cry, "Have we not all one Father? Hath not one God created us?”

It is past time to recover the idea that every human being has his or her origin from the Creator. It is past time to recall that every one of us is inevitably sinful yet has access to redemption. It is past time to put aside the pernicious ideologies based on race and class -- whatever form they take.

It is past time to take on the responsibility for one another Cain rejected when he said, "Am I my brother’s keeper?” in response to God’s question, "Where is your brother Abel?”

We are one another’s keepers.

A recent survey conducted by a group called the Public Religion Research Institute claims that those self-identifying as "white Christians" has fallen below fifty percent. According to Fox News:

" The share of Americans who identify as white and Christian has dropped below 50 percent, a transformation fueled by immigration and by growing numbers of people who reject organized religion altogether, according to a new survey released Wednesday.

Christians overall remain a large majority in the U.S., at nearly 70 percent of Americans. However, white Christians, once predominant in the country's religious life, now comprise only 43 percent of the population, according to the Public Religion Research Institute, or PRRI, a polling organization based in Washington. Four decades ago, about eight in 10 Americans were white Christians.

The change has occurred across the spectrum of Christian traditions in the U.S., including sharp drops in membership in predominantly white mainline Protestant denominations such as Presbyterians and Lutherans; an increasing Latino presence in the Roman Catholic Church as some non-Hispanic white Catholics leave; and shrinking ranks of white evangelicals, who until recently had been viewed as immune to decline."

End excerpt.

Needless to say, the Fake News media is giddy with joy at the prospects of a de-Christianized America - especially a non-white deChristianized America.

Now I haven't gone through the whole report (it's very long - over forty pages) and I know Christianity and Caucasionism are waning in America, but I have my doubts about this whole thing. Over the years I've learned to spot b.s. research and this smells like bullpucky to me.

Please notice this little bit from the Fox News article:

"So often, white evangelicals have been pointing in judgment to white mainline groups, saying when you have liberal theology you decline," said Robert Jones, chief executive of PRRI. "I think this data really does challenge that interpretation of linking theological conservatism and growth."

End excerpt.

Now why would this fellow even bother to say that if he clearly had facts on his side? It is a clearly political statement.

According to Wikipedia:

"PRRI was founded in 2009 by Robert P. Jones, a scholar and author on religion and public policy who holds a Ph.D. in religion from Emory University; Jones has since served as chief executive officer.[2][3]

PRRI is a member of the National Council of Public Polls and is a founding member of the Transparency Initiative at the American Association for Public Opinion Research.

PRRI partners with media outlets, think tanks, and academic institutions. Partners include The Atlantic, The Brookings Institution’s Governance Studies Program, the American Academy of Religion (AAR), and Georgetown University’s Berkley Center for Religion, Peace & World Affairs. All PRRI data is publicly available at the PRRI website and on The Roper Center archives at Cornell University."

End excerpt.

Notice the list of left-wing outfits that PRRI is involved with. Also notice it was born during the obama years and is largley run by a single guy.

PRRI has always engaged in advocacy dressed up as unbiased polling. Take this for example:

"A case in point is a recent immigration survey from the Public Religion Research Institute, this time dealing with the Summer 2014 surge of children, families, and others seeking entry to the United States without authorization. The PRRI webpage announces their findings in a bold headline: "Nearly 7-in-10 Americans See Unaccompanied Children at Border as Refugees, Not Illegal Immigrants".

As is so often the case, other news reporters and writers picked up that headline, with no analysis. Typical was a Washington Post story that contained this sentence: "A July survey from the Public Religion Research Institute found 70 percent saying immigrant children should be offered shelter and support while beginning the process of determining legal status, and a similar number think they should be treated as refugees."

[...]

"The website headline, presented without nuance, clearly implied that the summer surge of illegal migrants was seen as different by most Americans — not as an ongoing inability to deter or stop illegal migration, but as essentially a humanitarian refugee crisis.

Reading several paragraphs into the article, we find this further analysis: "A majority (69 percent) of Americans say that children arriving from Central America should be treated as refugees and allowed to stay in the United States if authorities determine it is not safe for them to return to their home."

In the PRRI news release, the interested reader finds a clue to how the Institute got the results that they did, to wit: "7-in-10 prefer offering children support while cases are reviewed, over immediate deportation."

So, as they did with their earlier, patently misleading survey on Americans' view of immigration reform, they asked their questions in such a way as to stack the deck in favor of the answer one presumes they prefer.

They first ask how much respondents have heard "about the large number of children from Central America coming to the United States without their parents". Forty-nine percent say a lot, 31 percent say a little, and, surprisingly, 20 percent say "nothing at all".

End excerpts.

It should be pointed out that Robert P. Jones wrote a book "Progressive and Religious" which I suspect speaks volumes. He was an assistant professor of religious studies at Missouri State University. Here is a quote by the good prophessor (misspelling intended):

No segment of White Christian America has been more complicit in the nation’s fraught racial history than white evangelical Protestants.”

― Robert P. Jones, The End of White Christian America

and Jones was the guy who tried to claim Evangelicals were great fans of torture.[/link[ According to the article:

"Religion scholar Robert P. Jones, whose polling firm conducted the survey, believes evangelicals’ support for torture probably stems from two major impulses: Fear, and the understandable but unrealistic yearning for absolute safety from terrorists"

End excerpt.

I could go on, but you get the point; this seems to me to be a study conducted by a partisan hack who pretends to be nothing but a man of scholarship.

Why do it?

Well, if white Christians are declining so precipitously, then why should politicians - especially Republicans - listen to them? Better to make buds with immigrants, with Muslims and Hispanics and anyone except the old white guys. Trump is an aberration, soon to pass away. The GOP should "look to the future" and away from the past.

And it gives the Left a much needed boost to their morale. Now they are despondend, especially since they have lost most of the states of the Union. By promising a demographic shift (as James Carville did a few years ago) Jones and his group offer hope to an increasingly hopeless left.

One must ask why we should listen to these people? Polling firms had the election profoundly wrong, and at the time it was admitted that the old techniques were no longer applicable. What our good friend here has done is produce another Nate Silver piece, methinks. Remember, Silver said Hillary had a ninety percent chance of winning and yet she lost. Everyone was shocked at the outcome. But here we are generating fake news again with the same failed polling and surveying models.

Oh, I don't doubt that the numbers of people claiming to be white and Christian have declined; how could they not given the war on both by the media, by academia, and by government. Who wants to claim membership in a group that is blamed for all the world's ills? But does that make it true? In Jesus' day there were numerous disciples who kept quiet out of fear. This may well be the case today.

Well, I'm not afraid. And even if it IS true, Jesus promised that the power of Hell would not prevail against His Church.

Let us all remembr that.

Ohio's Republican governor and former Presidential candidate John Kasich (once a good conservative turned RINO) is offering to turn Ohio into a sanctuary state for DACA beneficiaries who may be getting kicked out of the U.S.

From Breitbart:

""We’re putting kids, young people in jeopardy, this is not the America that we all love, this is a melting pot,” Kasich said. "If the DREAMers want to go somewhere and live, come to Ohio, we want all the immigrants to come to Ohio, we know how much immigrants contribute.”

End excerpt.

First, the courts would overturn DACA if Trump hadn't; it was on a losing streak (the result of numerous states suing the Obama Administration for their rewriting of law). Second, DACA was unConstitutional, a pure power grab by the Obama administration. Apparently that doesn't matter to Kasich, nor does the Rule of Law. Kasich has sold out entirely to the Swamp.

Remember, Obama did this without Congressional approval. It always was a temporary measure and would eventually end.

And what is this melting pot business? It is a red herring, for it says nothing about the current situation. We used to be a melting pot (and are now more of a salad where people bring their own culture with them) but we never said anyone who wanted in could simply show up and we had to let them. Kasich isn't that big a fool. He has to know what a monumental lie he told.

John Kasich professes to be a Christian. He should look at the Ten Commandments to see what it says about lying.

Oh, and by the way, perhaps he should check out John 10:1:

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber."

End

What does that make John Kasich, who supports them?

Curse of the Woke Conservatives

New Clairol Color Crave
So what does the GOP establishment do in 2018 when it comes before us dirty, nasty normals and tries to make the case that its members deserve being reelected to Congress instead of being tarred and feathered? After seven years of solemn assurances, it couldn’t even get its act together and keep its promise to put a stake through the heart of the abomination that is Obamacare. But hey – when Donald Trump kept his promise to undo DACA, that sure spurred the True Conservatives to action. The deductibles my employees pay just went up two grand a year because if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor or something, yet that sort of real world pain for real world people doesn’t spur our righteous Conservative, Inc., stalwarts to action. But threaten to actually enforce a law Congress passed and cut the monocle-and-top-hat set off from cheap foreign serfs who will vote hard left if given the chance? Now that’s an emergency. All hands on deck!

Of the S.S. Conservative Titanic.

"Republicans, you can be proud of me! I went to Washington, left Obamacare in place, complained that Donald Trump was mean to the liberals who hate us, and started down the road to amnesty, just like you wanted! And by ‘you’ I mean the Wall Street Journal editorial board, some fussy Never Trumpers on Twitter, and the GOP wonks who used to read Ayn Rand books while normal guys were kissing girls.”

Boy oh boy, it must sure suck for you that we conservatives are now woke.

Read the rest.

WE MADE DONALD %#@ TRUMP PRESIDENT -- WHAT ELSE CAN WE DO?

Ann Coulter

Congress has tried to sneak through amnesties three times in a little more than a decade. Every time, the American people somehow found out -- despite the best efforts of the press -- rose up in a rage and killed the proposed bills.
In 2006, President Bush got the brilliant idea to push amnesty on the country. His party was wiped out the very next time voters could get to the polls.

Liberals like to claim that their brave opposition to the Iraq War led to the midterm slaughter, but, as I recall, they were against that war in the 2004 presidential election, too, and Bush won. An April 2006 Washington Post-ABC News poll -- taken about a month after Bush launched his amnesty crusade -- showed that more Americans approved of Bush's handling of the Iraq War than approved of his handling of immigration. In nearly every poll on Bush's handling of immigration that year, a huge majority of the public disapproved.

Three years ago, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor lost his seat to an unknown economics professor, Dave Brat, by a whopping 55 percent to 45 percent, despite outspending Brat 40-to-1. It was the first time in history a member of leadership had lost a primary. Brat had explicitly attacked Cantor for supporting amnesty. (This despite Cantor being one of the "Young Guns"!)
Most spectacularly, last year, an utterly implausible presidential candidate crushed all his opponents -- including the media -- and won the White House by promising to deport illegals and build a wall.

The media imagine that President Trump's deficiencies are an argument for not taking his positions seriously. Oh no -- it's just the reverse. The fact that Trump's supporters implacably stick by him, through every horror, proves they are willing to put up with any lunacy if it means getting that agenda.

How many different ways can Americans express that they want a whole lot less immigration and absolutely no amnesties?

Read the rest.

No, he's not talking about parades here.

From Power Line:

http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2017/09/de-blasio-unplugged.php

And then there’s New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio, who was interviewed a few days back by New York magazine. He was asked, "In 2013, you ran on reducing income inequality. Where has it been hardest to make progress? Wages, housing, schools?” Take in his answer good and slow:

What’s been hardest is the way our legal system is structured to favor private property. I think people all over this city, of every background, would like to have the city government be able to determine which building goes where, how high it will be, who gets to live in it, what the rent will be. I think there’s a socialistic impulse, which I hear every day, in every kind of community, that they would like things to be planned in accordance to their needs. And I would, too. Unfortunately, what stands in the way of that is hundreds of years of history that have elevated property rights and wealth to the point that that’s the reality that calls the tune on a lot of development.

Oh please, please Mr. Mayor, please start a campaign to expropriate the kulaks of New York City, starting with the upper west side. And let’s have mandatory rent control for all rental units in New York, instead of just the fraction of units still caught in the medieval hell hole of the current rent control regime. And while you’re at it, why not propose a wealth tax on the tech oligarchs of Silicon Valley and Wall Street hedge fund titans?

Jack Kemp

Here is the acknowledgement of my email letter to the Mt. Vernon Ladies Assoc. that maintains the first President's home and has educational outreach via tours and the internet. I wrote them concerning St. Paul's Chapel's dismantling of the George Washington Pew in Lower Manhattan, where Pres. Washington went to pray about a half hour after being sworn into office in 1789.

The Mt. Vernon Ladies appear to be examining the importrance of the situation in New York and they are considering contacting the Trinity Church which oversees the St. Paul Chapel. So The Ladies Assoc. is considering their next move.

Jack K.

Here is a copy of their reply:

Dear Mr. Kemp,

Thank you for reaching out to us with your concern. I have shared your email with my colleagues in our Historic Preservation & Collections department, as they would be more aware of the status of an Washington-related artifact and if that necessitated any outreach to Trinity Church.

We appreciate the high regard you have for our Founding Father era and the importance of the history of our nation.

Many thanks,
Cheryl

An example of how the Left gins up identity politics.

Now we know.

I DO remember the days when all hurricanes were given female names, and the joke was "You never hear of 'himmicanes,' do you?"

Ba-DUM-bum!

But seriously, folks, does this make you MORE or LESS likely to listen to CNN?

A quick point about DACA. Much ink and many tears have been spilled because that cold hearted troll Donald J. Trump, fulfilling a campaign promise, recently announced he would end DACA if Congress fails to pass a law to that effect (not exactly what Trump promised his base, who elected the President in no small part because of this unlawful act by Barack Obama.) But what exactly is so terrible here?

I would remind you that DACA stands for "Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. Please notice the first word in that - deferred. That means set aside for a time, not eternal. According to According to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service:

https://www.uscis.gov/archive/consideration-deferred-action-childhood-arrivals-daca

"On June 15, 2012, the Secretary of Homeland Security announced that certain people who came to the United States as children and meet several guidelines may request consideration of deferred action for a period of two years, subject to renewal. They are also eligible for work authorization. Deferred action is a use of prosecutorial discretion to defer removal action against an individual for a certain period of time. Deferred action does not provide lawful status."

End excerpt.

You have to be under 31 years old to be a "child" who is eligible for DACA. And notice they won't help with parole (like if you just got out of prison) any longer.

Again, please notice the clearly temporary nature of this. And it was done not by act of Congress but by a circumconstituional act by President Barack Hussein Obama.

You are also allowed three "non-significant misdemeanors:

"A crime is considered a non-significant misdemeanor (maximum term of imprisonment is one year or less but greater than five days) if it:

Is not an offense of domestic violence; sexual abuse or exploitation; burglary; unlawful possession or use of a firearm; drug distribution or trafficking; or, driving under the influence; and
Is one for which the individual was sentenced to time in custody of 90 days or less."

End excerpt.

Meaning that in many places you will be allowed to plea bargain to avoid deportation. But don't carry a gun, even if you need one!

In the end this is a simple case of allowing people to come colonize the country. If enough come here under such a system we cannot stop them and wind up with millions of people who do not belong here, changing our culture, using our services, and stealing the American dream while those who seek to come here legally are out in the cold.

And is it somehow unfair to enforce the law? We do it when we send a child's father to prison, or when we seize a house for being purchased with drug money or what have you. Nobdoy thinks it unfair to the Forgotten Man whose children get bumped out because lawbreakers take their spots in schools or in jobs or when he has to pay for services given to colonizing aliens.

One in five people in America were foreign born. Think about that. America cannot afford to keep letting massive numbers of aliens in to settle. Nobody wants to hurt kids but a.these aren't kids in many cases and b.we can't solve the world's problems.

Obama did this to create a political machine and to fundamentally change the demographic of the United States. We cannot allow him to succeed on either count.

And it rewards the lawbreaking done by their parents not to mention it removed parental responsibility AND took away any incentive on the part of their home countries to reform. If we pass a law enshrining DACA we will tell the world we are fools, pidgeons to be plucked, and more will come. If you ever threw bread crumbs in a park you know pidgeons show up en masse to feed. We are feeding lawbreakers.

It's time we end this thing.

Last week, as summer wound down, a news item relegated to the back pages by the dreadful events unfolding in Houston passed largely unnoticed, but bears closer examination. On the op-ed page of the Washington Post, former U.S. Sen. John C. Danforth launched a scathing attack on President Donald Trump, essentially reading the president out of the Republican Party for his "divisive” nature, his "non-inclusive” stand toward immigrants, Muslims, and the transgendered, and his supposed reluctance to condemn white supremacy and the associated fringe groups. He finishes with an exhortation to the faithful to "disassociate ourselves from Trump” by expressing opposition and shunning the Republican who just happens to be the president of the USA. Danforth stops short of calling for impeachment proceedings, but would undoubtedly support a palace coup, possibly playing Cicero to Trump’s Julius Caesar.

In order to fully understand the forces at work here, we must take a closer look at Sen. John C. Danforth. "Jack” Danforth served as a U.S. senator from Missouri from 1976-94, occupying the seat once held by Harry S. Truman. Danforth, in fact, is credited with recreating the Missouri Republican Party and making it a consequential force in state politics. In the upper chamber, Danforth became known as "St. Jack” and the "Conscience of the Senate.” St. Jack, never one to assume false modesty, loved and embraced his role.

In trying to understand Danforth and his attack on the president, however, we must look beneath the surface of successful, principled politics. Danforth, the scion of the Ralston-Purina fortune, is a Missourian via the Ivy League, equipped with a Princeton BA, and law and divinity degrees from Yale. The young Danforth completed his divinity studies and undertook holy orders, earning his appointment as an Episcopal minister. For a while he seemed uncertain about a career path, but, ultimately the lure of Wall Street held little charm for Danforth, and the prospect of giving sermons from the pulpit failed to kindle his enthusiasm, either. Accordingly, Danforth returned home, ran for and won statewide office as Attorney General in 1968.

Danforth, as has been noted earlier, has taken credit for establishing a viable GOP presence in the Show Me State, but, once again, a closer look is necessary. Danforth glories in his accomplishment, but this ignores larger trends, of which he was probably unaware, and certainly never understood. In 1969, Kevin Phillips, the political scientist wrote a book entitled, "The Emerging Republican Majority,” predicting that a coalition of traditional GOP voters and working class whites would soon become the dominant force in a nationwide political realignment. Danforth, who had found his political home among the moderate, non-threatening Republicans like Gerry Ford, Bob Dole, and George H. W. Bush never understood this phenomenon and discounted it when asked for comment. Danforth took credit for something that was bigger than himself. He rode a cresting wave at the right time, and took it straight to Washington.

In office Danforth proved to be the epitome of a non-ideological moderate Republican. He disappointed conservative supporters by trying to deliver the Missouri GOP vote to President Ford in 1976. The state party bucked their leader and supported Reagan, instead. Danforth voted for the Panama Canal Treaty in 1978, even though he admitted his constituent mail ran 12-1 against the proposed pact. He seemed stunned by the fury that his vote unleashed, and this contributed to his near loss in his 1982 re-election campaign, against a supremely unqualified opponent.

Throughout the 1980s Danforth, the ordained minister, inveighed against the dangers of religion in politics, although he confined this critique to the religious right, not the religious left. In 1991 Danforth double-crossed his Party on the Civil Rights Restoration Act, earning a stinging rebuke from Sen. Jesse Helms. Finally, St. Jack quit electoral politics on the eve of the 1994 Republican tsunami.

The op-ed piece that Danforth penned in the Washington Post misses the fact that he was rarely on the right side, and never really wanted the conservatives in his Republican Party. He established and maintained cordial relations with the traditional GOP base of upper-middle class lawyers, bankers, physicians, and corporate executives but had no use for the working middle class types who began to gravitate toward the Party by the late 1970s, namely the nurses, teachers, cops and firemen who found themselves politically homeless as the Democrats moved relentlessly leftward. This explains why Danforth failed at retail politics, eschewing county fairs and July 4th celebrations, and neglecting hand-shaking and baby kissing.

In the op-ed piece Danforth opines that Trump is divisive, but doesn’t recognize that all effective presidents have been described as such. Andrew Jackson, Lincoln, Grover Cleveland, FDR and Reagan were divisive in the sense that their supporters loved them, and their opponents hated their success. St. Jack goes on to say that Trump wants to reverse the GOP’s long-standing commitment to "inclusiveness.” One might argue that Danforth is encouraging the party to ignore immigration law. Is the GOP now the party of lawlessness? Finally, Danforth scolds the president for his insensitivity to transgendered Americans, proving that the moderate Republicans still don’t understand why many normal Americans have a problem with men in girls’ bathrooms.

Most Aviary readers, discerning folk as we are, know that Donald Trump has some sharp edges and some liabilities. His often needless bombast sows chaos and detracts from his positive agenda. Still, Trump did what many considered the impossible last November. He beat Hillary Clinton and won the Presidency, something that no other Republican would likely have accomplished. The GOP need not take unsolicited advice, most of it bad, from the likes of former Senator John C. Danforth. He, like most of his moderate, sensible, and reasonable party allies stand as the poster children for Republican futility and ultimately Republican failure.
