A member of Tijuana’s local government, Delegate Genaro Lopez Moreno, said, according to Fox News, that it’s costing the municipality $30,000 to $40,000 dollars a day to take care of the migrants.
He blames the caravan organizers, who he believes sold the migrants a false hope.

Louie Gohmert: GOP 'Going to Lose' Every Election if Wall is Not Funded

Louie Gohmert: GOP 'Going to Lose' Every Election if Wall is Not Funded:

Image result for flickr commons images Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) says the Republican Party will lose every national election in the future if President Trump’s central campaign promise, a border wall, is not funded by the end of the year.
In an exclusive interview with SiriusXM Patriot’s Breitbart News Tonight, Gohmert told Senior Editors-at-Large Rebecca Mansour and Joel Pollak that the GOP must approve $25 billion in border wall funding to stop soaring illegal immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border or risk losing every election “from now on.”
Gohmert said:

Rush Limbaugh: Mueller probe 'pure poison politics' - WND:

This is pure, raw politics,” he said. “This is causing people to analyze it in terms of justice, in terms of judicial procedure. That’s not relevant here! It’s one giant scam. I’ll tell you this. Of all the things Donald Trump’s been accused of in his life, this is probably the thing of which he is the most innocent! That’s what’s laughable about this”
Limbaugh explained while people have been led to believe that the Justice Department “is above and beyond corruption,” that’s not true.

Obama takes credit for U.S. oil-and-gas boom: 'That was me, people' - Washington Times:

Mr. Obama also promoted policies designed to curb fossil-fuel usage and production, including the Clean Power Plan; the federal methane rule; federal restrictions on hydraulic fracturing; the rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline, and the Paris climate accord.
At Rice, the tuxedo-clad former president also gave himself a pat on the back for the stock market.

The Lowdown on the Miscreant Who Got Us into this Mess: Woodrow Wilson | Spengler

The Lowdown on the Miscreant Who Got Us into this Mess: Woodrow Wilson | Spengler:

Image result for flickr commons images Woodrow WilsonSo utterly utopian was Wilson’s vision that it is unfair to characterize the internationalism of Bill Clinton or George W. Bush as “Wilsonian.” Clinton and Bush threw America’s weight around after the collapse of the Soviet Union, but they did not propose—as Wilson did—to replace America’s sovereign decision-making with a global council. Wilson’s League of Nations was closer to the conspiracy theorists’ notion of the United Nations. The commonplace belief that minor concessions on his part would have won ratification of the League of Nations treaty is untenable.
A definitive Wilson biography remains to be written. To make sense of his grand overreach in 1919, historians will need to give more attention to his rancor at the U.S. Constitution and his Southerner’s sense of aggrievement over the Civil War. His was a deep, abiding passion for the Lost Cause and a smoldering hatred for those who crushed it. Of the Confederacy, Wilson rhapsodized in his history of the United States:
