McConnell Proves Meadows Right in His Effort to Depose Boehner
Perhaps the most enlightening, yet underreported moment during last Thursday’s debate was when the crowd started cheering at the mention of Texas Senator Ted Cruz calling Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell a liar. Yes, indeed the GOP base is more offended by the GOP establishment than any outrageous and offensive thing Donald Trump has said. It’s time for elected Republicans and the rest of the presidential field to follow their base.
At this point, there is nothing more important than using the power of the purse to stop Obama’s increasingly dangerous lawlessness. But that will never occur unless there is an immediate change in leadership. Mitch McConnell has made it clear to Obama that he will never force a budget fight – no matter what Obama chooses to do in the coming weeks. Not even the thousands of lost coal jobs in his state will prompt him to fulfill his campaign promises.
After several bloody weeks last month of murders at the hands of illegal aliens, nothing illustrates the crisis at hand more than the story of Marilyn Pharis. On July 24, Victor Aureliano Martinez Ramirez, an illegal alien from Mexico, broke into Pharis’ home at night with an accomplice and beat her with a claw hammer, raped her, and strangled her to death.
So who is Victor Ramirez? Fox reports:
Ramirez has been arrested six times in last 15 months, for crimes including sexual assault, possession of methamphetamine and weapons and driving without a license. His most recent arrest occurred just eight days before the attack on Pharis.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement admitted in a statement it did not issue an immigration detainer, which would have led to deportation, for Ramirez following the most recent arrest. The agency said its decision was “based on the agency’s enforcement priorities after a thorough review of his case history showed he had no prior deportations or felony criminal convictions.”
You read that correctly. Even an illegal alien with six arrests, for crimes including sexual assault, was not considered a priority under Obama’s amnesty and new “Priority Enforcement Program (PEP)” that Obama established to supplant the effective Secure Communities program. As Santa Maria Police Chief Ralph Martin candidly said, “I am not remiss to say that from Washington DC to Sacramento, there is a blood trail to Marilyn Pharis’ bedroom.”
There is a trail of blood flowing from the White House across America – the blood of thousands of aborted babies funded by taxpayers and the blood of Americans killed by illegal aliens who were set free by Obama’s lawlessness.
Both the GOP presidential candidates and congressional Republicans have a choice to make as it relates to this issue.
For presidential candidates, will they get sucked in to the “flowing blood” tabloid scandal between Trump and Megyn Kelly or will they focus on the blood trail of Obama’s amnesty and hold rallies with victims of illegal immigration?
It is truly a shame that every American has heard about Megyn Kelly but so few know about Marilyn Pharis and Margaret Kostelnik – the two most recent victims of illegal aliens. But here’s the good news: all of those candidates and elected officials trying to run as conservatives have the opportunity to change that.
For congressional Republicans, will they fight to defund Obama’s amnesty and tie all DHS funding to the restoration of the Secure Communities program or will they be complicit in this avoidable lawlessness? Will they continue to follow their failed leaders and the current course into an electoral abyss, as proven by the decline in Republicans favorability rating?
Last week, Mitch McConnell reiterated has fervent opposition to any budget battle with Obama, once again revoking the power of the purse from the hands of the people’s representatives. Unfortunately, there is no practical way, unlike in the House, to remove McConnell from power because he is appointed by the party, not the entire Senate body. This is why it is even more important to preserve the power of the purse in the people’s House and use it as the last remaining deterrent against Obama’s dangerous and lawless policies for the next 17 months. And in the House, where Speaker John Boehner is elected by the full body, conservatives have the ability to join with Democrats and vote him out any time, as Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) has demonstrated.
When Meadows introduced the resolution to toss out Boehner, some of his “conservative colleagues” trashed him to the liberal media, insinuating that he acted irresponsibly. But they are the ones who are irresponsible for keeping a leader who will be complicit in the literal bloodletting of Americans – both at the hands of illegal aliens and Planned Parenthood – by not using the congressional power of the purse in September. McConnell’s recent comments about ceding that power to Obama should make it clear that Meadows was right to go after Boehner so that there is at least one leader in one house of Congress committed to fighting this insanity.
