Senior DOD Official John Rood: Three Migrant Caravans Headed to U.S.

Senior DOD Official John Rood: Three Migrant Caravans Headed to U.S.:

Reps. Hartzler and Mo Brooks (R-AL) noted that there is existing authority the administration could use to have the military build a border barrier without declaring a national emergency, through Section 284 of Title 10 of the United States Code.
“Congress has actually given the DOD the ability to provide military support to law enforcement agencies specifically for countering the counter-drug purposes. Section 284 of Title 10 of the United States Code authorizes the DOD to provide support to counter drug activities to control the transnational organized crime,” she said.
“The law clearly identifies various activities that DOD is authorized to conduct including the construction of road and construction of fences. Light installation along smuggling corridors, aerial, ground reconnaissance and transportation,” she said.
Rood responded that Hartzler was correct.

Fitton: Documents Detail Nancy Pelosi’s Love of Flying at Our Expense

Fitton: Documents Detail Nancy Pelosi’s Love of Flying at Our Expense:

Nancy Pelosi’s plan to fly into a war zone to thank the troops, which President Trump put on hold, was d j vu all over again. We’ve been watching her taxpayer-supported travel for years. Earlier, I discussed Judicial Watch’s prior work here in an op-ed for Fox News.
Just this week, Judicial Watch released documents they obtained through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Air Force that detail $134,587.81 plus $50,000 for an advance of funds for an “escort officer” for a total of $184.587.81 for then-House Minority Leader Pelosi’s Congressional delegation (CODEL) to Italy and Ukraine in 2015.

The Left Is Shunning Liberals With Concerns About Transgender Agenda | The Heritage Foundation

The Left Is Shunning Liberals With Concerns About Transgender Agenda | The Heritage Foundation:

“Gender identity” refers to an individual’s inner sense of being a man or a woman or both or neither. It exists along a spectrum and can be fluid. It’s entirely arbitrary and self-disclosed. And rather incoherent, as it’s not at all clear what it means to “feel like” a woman, or how I would know if I felt like one, or why my feeling like a woman (whatever that means) would make me a woman.
As a result, if “gender identity” becomes a protected class in federal civil rights law, as Pelosi’s Equality Act would result in, there will be serious negative consequences. That’s where we agree. And that’s where we can work together.

Dems to strike 'so help you God' from oath taken in front of key House committee, draft shows | Fox News:

A key committee in the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives is moving to eliminate the God reference from the oath administered to witnesses testifying before the panel, as part of a new rules package expected to be approved this week, according to a draft obtained exclusively by Fox News.
The draft shows that the House Committee on Natural Resources would ask witnesses to recite only, "Do you solemnly swear or affirm, under penalty of law, that the testimony that you are about to give is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?"

Election Reform Fraud: Democrats' Plan Would End American Democracy As We Know It | Investor's Business Daily:

'Election Reform' Fraud: The media have already started a drumbeat in favor of the first major legislation proposed by the new Democratic Congress, the so-called "For The People Act Of 2019." It is, in fact, a dangerous piece of legislation that, if enacted, would end American democracy as it has existed for over over 240 years.

Crisis at our southern border is real and growing worse without the wall | TheHill

Crisis at our southern border is real and growing worse without the wall | TheHill:

The federal government has reopened, but the talking points pushed by the Democrats about the southern border remain the same. They falsely say “there is no crisis.”  They claim that a barrier or wall would do nothing to curb illegal immigration or drug smuggling, which is demonstrably untrue. The “humanitarian challenge” that members of Congress refer to is actually an inundation of migrants at the border that hurts the overall mission of law enforcement officials and threatens to crash the system.
What is new here is the unprecedented and growing surge of migrant family arrivals at our border with Mexico over the past year. Last month alone, more than 27,000 family units, defined as at least one adult and child together, were processed into custody.

3 Ways Economic Freedom Improves Quality of Life | The Heritage Foundation:

Big-government environmentalists who predict the demise of humanity if we do not hand them the keys to the world economy would be surprised to learn it is economic freedom that better supports a sustainable environment, not government control.
Environmental stewardship does not start with centralized control of an economy. Rather, the protection of property rights promotes environmental stewardship. As seen in the aaccompanying chart, economic freedom strongly correlates with clean environments.

How socialism turned Venezuela from the wealthiest country in South America into an economic basket case | Fox News:

Venezuela was once the wealthiest country in South America, but in recent years millions have fled the country amid mass starvation and violence after socialist policies were enacted and government seized private industries.

Former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy said special counsel Robert Mueller has still failed to prove collusion between President Donald Trump and Russia, on “Fox & Friends” Monday.

Ocasio-Cortez just latest in 100 years of warnings earth 'doomed' - WND:

“It is becoming obvious that the only authentic climate ‘tipping point’ we can rely is this one: Flashback 2007: New Zealand Scientist on Global Warming: ‘It’s All Going to be a Joke in 5 Years.'” Morano wrote.
“The Boston Globe noted on April 16, 2014: ‘The world now has a rough deadline for action on climate change. Nations need to take aggressive action in the next 15 years to cut carbon emissions, in order to forestall the worst effects of global warming, says the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.'”
Such warnings also were issued in 1982, 1989 and 2000.
“In 2007, U.N. IPCC chief Pachauri declared 2012 as the climate deadline to act or it would be ‘too late,'” Morano reported. “Not to be outdone by the U.N., Former Irish President Mary Robinson weighed in this week, issuing a more generous 20 year tipping point. ‘Former president says we have 20 years to save the world from climate change effects. …Robinson calls for climate agreement by 2015.’ Robinson noted that global leaders have ‘at most two decades to save the world.'”

Under Trump, U.S. Economic Freedom Rises Significantly | The Heritage Foundation:

The job market is hot, unemployment is down to record lows, and small business optimism is soaring.
But this newfound dynamism didn’t come from nowhere. It required a package of market and consumer-friendly reforms passed by Congress and adopted by the Trump administration. These reforms have boosted economic freedom.

Voter Fraud Leads to Removal of Alabama Mayor | The Heritage Foundation

Voter Fraud Leads to Removal of Alabama Mayor | The Heritage Foundation:

The mayor of Gordon, Alabama, was removed from office last week after a jury found him guilty on two felony counts of absentee ballot fraud. Both he and his one-time constituents are learning firsthand the high price of voter fraud.
Of course, to hear many on the left tell the story, voter fraud isn’t real. They say fraud is just a myth designed by conservatives to suppress liberal voters. On the rare occasion that they acknowledge that voter fraud exists, they claim it is “vanishingly rare” and entirely insignificant.
Tell that to the residents of Gordon.

The double standards of the Mueller investigation - Chicago Tribune

The double standards of the Mueller investigation - Chicago Tribune:

The oncoming train is slower but also larger. It involves congressional investigations, Department of Justice referrals and inspector general's reports — mostly focused on improper or illegal FBI and DOJ behavior during the 2016 election.
Why are the two now about to collide?
By charging former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn for lying to the FBI, Mueller emphasized that even the appearance of false testimony is felonious behavior.
If that is so, then the DOJ will likely have to charge

What Warren failed to mention is that although he certainly spent a fair amount on his “superyacht,” Snyder has donated millions to charitable causes over the years — from disaster relief efforts after Hurricane Katrina and the tsunami in Indonesia to community-based organizations such as Youth For Tomorrow, a residential facility for at-risk kids in Manassas, Virginia.
Snyder also donated the $6 million emergency wing of Children’s National Medical Center — after his own daughter was born at just 27 weeks and survived —

Sarah Sanders Asks Whether Hillary Clinton Be Arrested If Lying To the FBI Is A Crime | The Daily Caller:

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders responded to the Roger Stone news Friday in an early interview with CNN. Sanders wondered if the same standards the FBI is employing with Stone would apply to other players in the 2016 election who have lied to the FBI.
When asked by CNN about the recent arrest, Sanders said, “We’ll let the courts make the decision. A bigger question is: If this is the standard, will the same standard apply to people like Hillary Clinton, James Comey and [James] Clapper?”

Democrat Ilhan Omar Blames Sanctions, Not Socialism, for Venezuela's Woes | Breitbart:

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) appointed Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) to the House Foreign Relations Committee, and the radical “Justice Democrat” is already drawing mockery for her position on Venezuela.
On Wednesday, the U.S. and many other nations recognized the president of the Venezuelan National Assembly, Juan Guaid, as the interim president of Venezuela, on the basis of provisions in the Venezuelan constitution that declare any government that destroys democracy or violates human rights in the country to be illegitimate.

Mark Levin: ‘Nancy Pelosi Is America’s First Fascist’:

“It is a fascism that not only accepts but embraces anti-Semitism – because that’s what fascists do. It is a fascism that embraces Farrakhan. It is a fascism that embraces Hamas and Hezbollah. It is a fascism that embraces Antifa and Black Lives Matter. It’s a fascism that embraces William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn and Khalidi, and you name them. It’s a fascism that tries to destroy an honorable man, Brett Kavanaugh. It’s a fascism that tries to destroy the children of the president of the United States. It’s a fascism that wants to take 70 percent of your wealth. It’s a fascism that destroys the Constitution, while waving it around.
“Nancy Pelosi is America’s first fascist. And that’s a fact.

Disease at border puts migrants at risk: 'There’s a crisis here'

Disease at border puts migrants at risk: 'There’s a crisis here':

There is a health crisis on the U.S.-Mexico border that was deliberately covered up during a visit by members of Congress, according to the head of a sanitation company supplying outposts there.
Tricia Elbrock, the owner of Elbrock Water Systems in Animas, N.M., supplies portable bathrooms at facilities near the border. She told the Washington Examiner that after she dropped off two portable toilets near the border at the request of the Border Patrol, her cleaning staff was "overwhelmed" after hundreds of migrants used them.

Dershowitz on Mueller move against Roger Stone: 'Trump is the target':

Robert Mueller is trying to force Roger Stone to "flip" and incriminate President Trump by indicting the veteran Republican operative on charges that leave him facing the prospect of dying in jail, according to Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz.
"The obvious purpose of indicting him on these obstructing and false statement charges is to put pressure on him to flip. That's the goal,” said Dershowitz, a Harvard Law School professor emeritus.
