Migrant Caravan: A Foreign-Financed, Leftist-Led Violation Of U.S. Sovereignty | Investor's Business Daily:
In other words, the U.N. has set up shop in Mexico and is pushing these migrants to go to the U.S. Once again, the U.N. violates a member nation's right to protect its own borders. Fortunately, President Trump is having none of it. He'll send 5,200 troops to the border to stop the influx.
For those who have suggested Trump's move is illegal under the "Posse Comitatus" Act of 1878, they're wrong. That law's letter and intent was to keep the U.S. from using federal military troops against its own citizens. No one intended for this law to force our borders open to those who would violate our sovereignty.

Donald Trump Signs 5-Year Lobbying Ban for Administration | Time
Donald Trump Signs 5-Year Lobbying Ban for Administration | Time:
President Donald Trump signed a lifetime foreign-lobbying ban for members of his administration Saturday, as well as a five-year ban for all other lobbying.
The lobbying ban was a central component of Trump’s campaign pledge to “drain the swamp” in Washington, D.C., though his commitment to the slogan has wavered. Trump has hired top donors to his campaign for administration jobs, while relying on industry lobbyists for both his transition and administration staff.

The sizzling economy underpins President Trump’s final blitz for Republicans in the midterms, with dire warnings that the jobs boom and higher wages will slip away if Democrats seize Congress.

REPORT: Central American Migrants Set Fire to Mexican Immigration Facility:
A group of Central American migrants facing deportation set fire to a Mexican immigration facility in an apparent attempt to escape.

Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris accused of breaking fundraising rules over Kavanaugh vote - Washington Times:
A watchdog group filed a Senate ethics complaint Monday against Sens. Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren for sending out fundraising emails asking for donations to support their votes against Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh — even before they cast their votes against him.
While voting and then asking supporters to back that decision with cash is common, the watchdog group, the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT), says asking for money ahead of time crosses the line into vote-buying.

Migrant Caravan Exposes the Democrats | National Review
Migrant Caravan Exposes the Democrats | National Review:
The Democrats’ ability to kid themselves about their commitment to border enforcement is one of the reasons America’s debate about immigration is so deranged. Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer want to avoid the subject of the caravan for a very good reason. Because now it has become obvious. In order to pass legislation, they ask Republicans and restrictionists to believe their commitments to enforcement. Out of the other side of their mouth, to avoid primary challenges and hassle, they ask activists not to.

Planned Parenthood Says It Puts Women First. This Missouri Clinic Proves Otherwise. | The Heritage Foundation:
The state informed Planned Parenthood of these health violations and expected the organization to correct them immediately.
Not only did the clinic fail to do so, it continued operating for over a month without correcting the violations.
When the state visited the clinic again on Sept. 26, 2018, they discovered additional violations. They found “bloody single-use plastic tubing attached to the machine’s glass suction canister that was never disposed of after the last abortion procedure on Sept. 21,” along with machines covered in mold and bodily fluid. The department also found rusty machines and exam room tables with chipped paint, making them impossible to sanitize.
Unfortunately, this is not the first time state officials have discovered intolerable conditions inside an abortion facility.

So there’s nothing unconstitutional or illegal about the president doing what Woodrow Wilson did, put tens of thousands of people on the border and make sure nobody forces their way in.
RUSH: It’s a no-brainer, folks. It is a no-brainer. The president can do that and has committed to it. You da… He may not send the military into Mexico, as Congressman Gohmert says there, but there’s no law says you can’t. This isn’t… What if 7,000 Russians were about to force their way into the U.K.? What if 7,000 Russians were about to force their way through the southern border to try to affect the midterm elections?
Ha! What if we could make that case? What do you think the people would be demanding Trump do? Stand aside and let the 7,000 Russians in so they can hack our computers and make sure the Republicans win the midterms? It’s a joke, folks. It’s a joke. You never know who’s listening. I’m just asking you: What if it’s 7,000 Russian communist pinkos trying to get in? It’s an invasion either way you look at.

How Public Schools Indoctrinate Kids Without Almost Anyone Noticing
How Public Schools Indoctrinate Kids Without Almost Anyone Noticing:
While indoctrination involves pushing a certain opinion, it is also much more. It is the comprehensive effort of passively disseminating a particular viewpoint. The passive aspect is key. People who are indoctrinated with a certain narrative or ideology do not arrive at the intended conclusions through their own thinking, but hear the same thing repeated in a million different ways until they finally take it as unquestionable truth.
Because indoctrination happens in the absence of thinking, many teachers who engage in indoctrination do so unconsciously. They themselves take what they’re given and pass it along without thinking. Ideologues often intervene at this level by writing the scripts for teachers, which is how LGBT advocacy and anti-Semitic fabrications become included in their lessons.

Watch: Crowd Full of Young Black People Erupts When Trump Walks In
Watch: Crowd Full of Young Black People Erupts When Trump Walks In:
The cultural shift toward conservatism within the black community is very real … and it’s picking up steam faster than the left wants to admit.
For months, we’ve pointed to examples of how African-Americans, long considered almost guaranteed to vote Democrat, have been rejecting the left’s narratives and are increasingly climbing aboard the Trump Train.
Figures like conservative commentator Candace Owens have led the way, using sharp intelligence and world-class debate skills to dismantle liberal arguments. Cultural icons such as Kanye West, an unlikely ally, have also come on board — and the rapper’s recent meeting in the Oval Office could be seen as a pivotal moment.

Raymond Ibrahim at Jihad Watch:
Consider, for example, this Muslim cleric discussing Muhammad’s marriage to the child Aisha when she was nine. Far from blushing for shame, the cleric actually uses this anecdote to boast of the prophet’s “patience” and “magnanimity.” Translation of relevant excerpt follows:
The story of the prophet’s marriage to Aisha reveals to us aspects like the prophet’s conduct with Aisha, and more importantly the aspect regarding the relationship between the husband and wife, to show how one should treat his wife, just as the prophet did with Aisha.
We know that Asia’s mother went to take her down from the swing that she was playing on to fix her hair and prepare her for the prophet so he could enter her [have sex with her]–and she did that all on the same day.

According to Crane, “the millennial generation has been so coddled and protected from reality they are now trying to misappropriate a diagnosis primarily reserved for combat vets, first responders, sexual assault victims and individuals who have suffered from real trauma because their candidate lost an election.”

Why Democratic Senators Won’t Succeed in Attempt to Block Judicial Nominee | The Heritage Foundation:
Whenever the president makes a judicial nomination, the Judiciary Committee chairman asks the home-state senators whether they support or oppose the nominee. This practice has come to be called the “blue slip” process because those home-state senators communicate their position on a blue slip of paper.
Since the practice began in 1916, 17 of the 19 Judiciary Committee chairmen have treated the views of home-state senators as input for senators to consider rather than a veto of the nomination. Only two chairmen have treated negative or withheld blue slips as a veto that automatically prevents a hearing.

Obama actually said this: "Unlike some I actually try to state facts. I believe in facts. I believe in a fact-based reality and a fact based politics. I don't believe in just making stuff up."
