Here's the "money quote;"
Shaw Sr. warned of the consequences of sanctuary cities harboring criminal illegal aliens and not deporting them, of not enforcing existing immigration laws, and of open borders:
"My son, Jamiel Shaw II, was murdered while walking on his own street, three houses down from his home. An illegal alien on his first gun charge was visiting a neighbor when my son was coming home," Shaw testified. "He shot my son in the stomach and then in the head, killing him."
Shaw then asked an obvious question: "Do black lives really matter? Or does it matter only if you are shot by a white person or white policeman?"
All lives matter. So did the life of the he son of Donald Rosenberg, who would be alive today if he hadnâ„¢t in 2010 been run down while riding on his motorcycle by an illegal alien who made an illegal left turn and then ran over him three times as he tried to flee the scene. Rosenberg, who describes himself as a â lifelong, very liberal Democratâ€Â calculated that his son was among 3,000 Americans killed by illegal aliens in car crashes in 2010. In a letter quoted by the Washington Times that he wrote to President Obama, Rosenberg said:
"My son and all of the others are considered collateral damage in the quest for votes and campaign contributions", he wrote. "Illegal immigration is not a victimless crime."Â
Indeed, it is not, and the question asked by many families like, the Shaws, the Steinles, the Tibbetts and the Rosenbergs is -- wasnâ€â„¢t America supposed to be our sanctuary?"

From ]the Hill:
From the Hill article:
"President Trump Donald John Trump McCain's body arrives at Phoenix-area mortuary to cheers of 'I love you, John' Trudeau praises McCain as an 'American patriot and hero' Bush, Obama asked to give eulogies at McCain's funeral: report MORE on Friday said he has asked Secretary of State Mike Pompeo Michael (Mike) Richard Pompeo North Korea talks draw fresh scrutiny after canceled meeting South Korea: Delaying Pompeo’s trip to North Korea ‘unfortunate’ Trump plays with North Korean fire and fury by canceling Pompeo trip MORE to put off his planned visit to North Korea and accused Pyongyang of slow-walking efforts to dismantle its nuclear program.
The decision marks a rare admission from Trump that North Korea’s denuclearization is not going as well as hoped.
Trump proclaimed after his meeting in Singapore with Kim in mid-June that North Korea is "no longer a nuclear threat.â€
Trump in the same series of tweets on Friday also accused China of not "helping with the process of denuclearization as they once were,†pointing to "our much tougher Trading stance†with the nation as the cause of the rift."
[...]
"The Treasury Department on Wednesday targeted a Chinese shipping firm and its Singapore-based affiliate for violating financial sanctions meant to cut off foreign aid to North Korea’s economy.
The penalties are part of the Treasury Department’s newest effort to punish North Korea’s economic benefactors as the Trump administration looks to achieve a nuclear disarmament deal with Pyongyang."
End excerpt.
As William Katz points out at Urgent Agenda, the good liberals at The Hill turn this into a Trump-bashing exercise rather than see it for what it is - a sound negotiating technique. Of course, the Swamp doesn't want trump to succeed, and if he does they don't want him getting credit. After all, it proves that their practices and strategies are hopelessly bankrupt.
David Dickinson adds:
To all the previous presidents who still have a functioning brain and the ability to comprehend basic stuff, this is how you negotiate and deal with tyrants, particularly the North Korean ones. Also, if you've been watching, President Trump has demonstrated how to deal with China on trade as well, and his handling of our allies is a thing of beauty.
The way you guys did it? Not so much.

Humberto Fontova proves JFK exploited a 17 year old girl, plus more[link
https://townhall.com/columnists/humbertofontova/2018/08/25/president-trump-you-are-no-jfk-n2512751?utm_source=thdaily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl&newsletterad=&profileid=]
President Trump, You Are No JFK
A teaser:
"JFK had a legendary love life. Did one of his affairs connect him with the mob? (CNN, promoting its Kennedy family hagiography, March 31, 2018.)
Legendary, whether morally-neutral or complimentary or both-- is not exactly the terminology CNN is employing with regard to President Trump's love life.
Consensual and discreet adulterous affairs distant (both time-wise and geographically) from the White House do not qualify a "love lifeÂ" "legendary"Â with CNN.
But apparently, feeding amyl-nitrate poppers to a starstruck 19 year-old, taking her virginity in the very White House bed and directing her to fellate a 50-year old friend while watching does.
Or has CNN forgotten about Mimi Alford?

From Urgent Agenda
This is a brilliant excerpt from Ben Shapiro at UA. Read it all.
The end comment comes from Katz and is brilliant summation:
"One of the best comments I've heard recently is that the difference between conservatives and liberals is that conservatives believe they have the better argument, but that liberals believe they're better people. I think that's true. Liberals, as they move further left, are drifting toward a kind of master race theory...where they are the master race. We know where that has led before. It won't be any different this time."
End excerpt.
Jack Kemp adds:
And another of the best comments I've seen recently was in a recent Amer. Thinker article called "Trump, Socialism, and the Jews" by Alexander G. Markovsky.
It states: The old saw, "There are two types of Jews: those who believe that Judaism is about social justice and those who know Hebrew," contains more than a kernel of truth. END QUOTE
I say, "Ani maskim meah achuz." That's Hebrew for "I agree one hundred percent."

From Tim:
McCain was an honorable man in his youth who was seduced by adulation from the media. It's a shame, because he was once solidly conservative and a true friend of the nation. In the end he was a bitter backstabber. Oh, and his campaign finance reform will do more damage than all the good he did in life - campaign finance laws are what the Left has used against multiple conservatives (Dinesh D'Souza, for instance) and they plan to take Trump down with them, too.
McCain supported those laws as a way to cover up his dishonesty with the Keating Five scandal, of which he was a prime member.
That said, I do pray for his soul and hope he finds peace wherever he has gone.

http://www.foxnews.com/science/2018/08/22/napoleon-dynamite-how-indonesian-volcano-influenced-battle-waterloo.htmlA devastating volcanic eruption on the other side of the world contributed to Napoleon’s defeat in the Battle of Waterloo, scientists say. Fascinating new research released Wednesday makes a remarkable link between to two events.
For years, historians have cited rainy and muddy conditions on the day of the battle as a factor in the French Army’s famous defeat on June 18, 1815. Waterlogged conditions at the battle site prompted Napoleon to delay his troops’ attack until the ground dried out. The decision is regarded as a critical error, as it gave Prussian troops time to join their British-led allies in the clash with Napoleon’s army.
The battle, a decisive victory for forces led by the Duke of Wellington and the Prussian Field Marshal Blucher, changed the course of European history.

And so forth. The article, from Fox News, is here: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/08/24/ocasio-cortez-claims-solidarity-with-cab-drivers-while-campaign-buys-rides-from-uber-other-alternatives-fec-data-show.htmlNew York Socialist Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez once blamed ride-sharing giant Uber for leading a yellow cab driver to suicide. Her campaign then took $4,000 worth of Uber rides.
But Ocasio-Cortez, who rose to prominence after defeating top Democrat Joe Crowley in the party’s U.S. House primary in June, is no fan of Uber, if you read her statements on social media.
She frequently criticized the ride-hailing company for what she sees as underpaying its drivers, decrying their pay as "exploitation†if they don’t get at least $15 an hour, the so-called living wage.

The Federal Reserve is raising interest rates again, the fifth time since Donald Trump took office.
Donald Trump is not pleased.
Trump is trying to renegotiate all manner of trade agreements, and to do that he needs liquidity in the market - something raising rates will not help. As he stated: more...

http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2018/08/23/americans-stand-with-mollie-tibbetts-kate-steinle-our-deadly-status-quo-on-immigration-must-change.htmlKnowing Kate Steinle’s name has been painful enough. We know of her because she was killed by a criminal illegal alien in 2015. We now know Mollie Tibbetts’ name, murdered last month, and an illegal alien has been arrested for that crime as well.
For many who did not originally support Donald Trump for president, a turning point for us was the existential danger of our open southern border. In Trump, it became clear we had a candidate who understood and was serious about dealing with the disaster of our southern border. Being blunt about the criminals enjoying the open door into our nation, liberals and the establishment gave us our first taste of the hysteria about President Trump that would come to consume them.
And then in July of 2015, Kate Steinle was shot to death by a criminal illegal alien who had been put back onto the street through San Francisco’s sanctuary policy. If they had just turned Kate’s killer over to ICE when they wanted him, she would be alive today. A San Francisco jury inexplicably found him not guilty of both murder and manslaughter. They did find him guilty of a lesser charge of being a felon in possession of a gun.
Now we know Mollie Tibbetts’ name. Hers is a horror story of a college student going out for a jog in her small Iowa town. She was found dead in a cornfield, and authorities arrested a man who the police say confessed to stalking her, but then "blacked out†during the time he allegedly murdered her. He thought to look in his truck, found her dead body, and then buried her in the field.
He, too, is an illegal alien, living in that Iowa town for at least 4 years, perhaps as many as 7. Law enforcement doesn’t really know.
Mollie is another of so many in this country, who were victimized and harmed by people who should never have been here. Sure, there’s danger everywhere, and yet there is a simple fact: The horror of Mollie’s last moments leading to her death would not have happened had her alleged killer not been in this country.
For perspective, ‘For America,’ the grassroots conservative action group, reminded us by tweeting the toll exacted on too many families in our country: "Mollie Tibbetts, Kate Steinle,, Tessa Tranchant Dominic Durden, Grant Ronnenbeck, Jamica Williams, Kevin Will, Nabra Hassanen, Jamiel Shaw, Jose Chavez, Lauren Bump, Sarah Root, Edwin Jackson … and thousands more. None of their killers should have been in this country.â€
Liberals are already refusing to acknowledge the truth of the matter. CNN must have been in a tizzy trying to figure out how to report, but not report, the story and decided on this nonsense for a headline: "Man arrested in connection with disappearance of Mollie Tibbetts.†They couldn’t even be honest about her death. No wonder CNN is being beaten in the ratings by "Ancient Aliens.â€

The recent America First Energy Conference was a crucially important event that all Americans need to hear about. In their article, Dr. Jay Lehr and Tom Harris describe some of the fascinating presentations made at the New Orleans conference, especially those that demonstrated why inexpensive, abundant fossil fuels are critical to the freedom and prosperity of America, and ultimately the entire free world.
The results are absolutely appalling, said Kathleen Hartnett White, when the poorest people in the world are forced to use costly solar and wind energy – and are deprived of inexpensive, efficient fossil fuels. Carbon dioxide, Dr. Roy Spencer explained, is not the great threat that environmental extremists make it out to be; it is a miracle molecule that makes life possible on planet Earth. more...

AHA! A stolen ID. No system in the world, that I'm aware of at least, can withstand something like that.The Mexican national accused of murdering college student Mollie Tibbetts in Iowa last month lived in the United States illegally for several years -- but was reportedly still able to pass a government system designed to weed out illegal immigrants from obtaining American jobs by using a stolen ID.
Cristhian Rivera, 24, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder Tuesday after the body of Tibbetts, a 20-year-old University of Iowa student, was discovered in a cornfield about 12 miles southeast of Brooklyn, where she was last seen running. Police said Rivera was in the country illegally and an immigration detainer was placed on him after his arrest.
Rivera's employer, Yarrabee Farms, confirmed Tuesday that Rivera worked at the farm for four years and said Rivera passed the federal E-Verify check, which is intended to maintain a database of I-9 forms and tax records of employees across the country.
A law enforcement official told the Washington Post that Rivera used a stolen ID to thwart the E-Verify check conducted by Yarrabee Farms – which experts told Fox News is one way to show that the system is not foolproof.
4 and 7 years ago. Sigh! Part of Saint Barack's diversity initiative?"E-Verify has prevented a lot of illegal aliens from getting jobs. It’s the best system out there,†former ICE acting director Thomas Homan told "Fox & Friends†on Wednesday, though he added there are ways to beat the system in "rare circumstances.â€
"I would be interested to know is: Did they really run this person in E-Verify? And what failed?†he said.
Immigration officials have not confirmed to Fox News if Rivera’s identity was entered into the E-Verify database. Authorities have said he arrived to the U.S. illegally from Mexico at some point between 4 and 7 years ago.

New York Democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez portrays herself as "a normal, working person," but one of her positions may have helped 150 people lose their jobs.
After enduring mockery for declaring Sunday that a walk in a national park was an example of democratic socialism, Ocasio-Cortez lamented Monday the shutting down of an iconic New York coffee shop that closed mostly due to a higher minimum wage – which Ocasio-Cortez supported.
"The restaurant I used to work at is closing its doors. I swung by today to say hi one last time, and kid around with friends like old times,†the congressional candidate reminisced on Twitter. "I’m a normal, working person who chose to run for office, because I believe we can have a better future.â€
[...]
Ocasio-Cortez, who rose to prominence after defeating top Democrat Joe Crowley in the party’s primary election in June, has campaigned on the issue of minimum wage, arguing for a $15 federal minimum wage, up from $7.25, insisting that it won’t have any negative consequences for businesses.During her appearance on "The Daily Show†with Trevor Noah, Ocasio-Cortez was pressed whether her suggestion of $15 minimum wage wouldn’t tank the economy. She cited the example of Seattle, which voted four years ago to gradually increase the hourly minimum to $15 over several years.
Yet Seattle is a troubling case, as research from the University of Washington's School of Public Policy and Governance found that the higher minimum wage led to significant job declines and actually left the poorest worst off in the city, the Washington Post reported.
The study estimated that low-wage jobs in the city dropped by 9 percent since 2016 and "hourly wages in such jobs increased by around 3 percent.†As a result, the study said, the city’s average worker lost $125 a month thanks to the minimum wage hike.
