Trump and Beto Face off in Texas; Trump TAUNTS Failed Senate Candidate

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By NBC News. President Donald Trump and Beto O’Rourke faced off less than half a mile — but worlds apart — from each other on Monday night.

“A young man who’s got very little going for himself except he’s got a great first name, he challenged us,” the president told supporters, dubbing the crowd size at a nearby event headlined by the former El Paso congressman and possible 2020 Democratic presidential candidate “not too good”: “What I would say is, that may be the end of his presidential bid.” . . .

“We probably have some good news,” Trump told the crowd. “But who knows? …Just so you know, we are building the wall anyway.” . . .

He spoke soon after O’Rourke called El Paso “one of the safest cities in the United States of America…safe, not because of walls — but in spite of walls.”

“Walls do not save lives. They end lives,” he said at the “March for Truth: Stop the Wall, Stop the Lies” rally a short drive from Trump’s. (Read more from “Trump and Beto Face off in Texas; Trump TAUNTS Failed Senate Candidate” HERE)

Trump Taunts Beto: My Line Is Bigger Than Your ‘Tiny Little Line’

By Daily Wire. President Donald Trump taunted failed Democratic Senate candidate Beto O’Rourke on Monday evening over the expected crowd turnout that is expected at his rally on the Texas border.

“We have a line that is very long already, I’m mean you see what’s going on,” Trump told reporters before boarding Air Force One and flying to Texas where he will hold a rally in El Paso. “And I understand our competitor’s got a line too, but it’s a tiny little line. Of course (the media) make it sound like they have more people than we do. That’s not going to happen.”

“But we’re going there for a reason,” Trump continued. “We’re going there to keep our country safe. And we don’t want murderers and drug dealers and gang members, MS-13, and some of the worst people in the world coming into our country.”

“Now, Mexico has had the worst year they’ve ever had,” Trump noted. “Almost 40,000 killings in Mexico this year. One of the most unsafe places, unfortunately. We need a wall. And all of the other things are nice to have. But without a wall, it’s not going to work. We can have technology, we can have beautiful drones flying all over the place, but it doesn’t work without the wall.” (Read more from “Trump Taunts Beto: My Line Is Bigger Than Your ‘Tiny Little Line'” HERE)

Abortion Survivors to Democrats: We Are People, and We Have a Right to Live

/0 Comments/in , /by

Monday morning on “Fox & Friends,” a panel of three abortion survivors weighed in on the debate surrounding the legalization of late-term abortion in New Yorkand similar bills being put forward in Virginia and other states.

Melissa Ohden, founder of the Abortion Survivors Network, Josiah Presley, and Claire Culwell were each adopted and shared their stories of learning they had survived an attempted abortion.

The panel was asked about Virginia Democrat Gov. Ralph Northam’s comments suggesting that a mother and her abortionist will have a “discussion” about what to do with a child that survives an abortion attempt and is delivered alive.

“It’s really sad to hear that, but it’s not surprising to hear that when we live in a country that has arbitrary criteria for what defines personhood,” Presley said. “Abortion’s legal in the first trimester, the second trimester, I mean, the next step is why not the third trimester? Why not right after they’re born?”

Asked about New York Democrats cheering the legalization of late-term abortions, Culwell, whose mother attempted to have an abortion at five months and later learned that only one of her twins was killed, called the Democrats’ applause “shocking.”

“It’s shocking to me that people no longer in our country care about what is true and right,” Culwell said. “We know that a baby is what is inside of the mother’s womb based on medical technology and science, and so we just hope that because people can see our faces and see that we are people, we are human, we do grow up to be someone someday, that people will realize that those women do not speak for women like me.”

“This is a human rights issue,” Ohden said. “In a world that decries women’s rights, where were Claire’s rights? Where were mine? Where are the rights of those little girls that are going to have their lives ended by abortion today?”

“Without the right to life, there is no other right that comes,” she added.

Last week, Senate Democrats blocked a bill sponsored by Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., that would protect infants born alive after an attempted abortion. The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act requires that a child delivered alive after an attempted abortion be given medical care, essentially banning the infanticide of children who survive abortions so that they can grow up to live their own lives.

There are no rational grounds to oppose that legislation, and the stories told on “Fox & Friends” today re-emphasize the need for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., to move forward with a vote on Sasse’s bill to put Democrats on record on infanticide.

Ocasio-Cortez Hearing Goes Viral. Here’s What the Video Didn’t Show.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Wire. Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and her minions in the media clipped a 5-minute video of a House Oversight and Reform Committee on Wednesday which quickly went viral — but excluded a follow-up response that put a damper on Ocasio-Cortez’s pontificating.

In a video shared on Twitter by actor James Corden, and retweeted by Ocasio-Cortez, the 29-year-old politician used the opportunity at the hearing to promote her anti-establishment brand.

Ocasio-Cortez claimed that it was “already super legal, as we’ve seen, for me to be a pretty bad guy,” as she questioned several people about what she was allowed to do with her “special-interest, dark-money-funded campaign” money.

The video was retweeted over 350,000 times in under 24 hours and was viewed over 19 million times.

The video conveniently did not include the follow-up response by IFS Chairman Bradley A. Smith, who was asked by Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) to correct the record on a line of misleading questioning by Ocasio-Cortez.

White House blasts Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal: ‘Central planning disaster’

By The Hill. The White House lambasted the Green New Deal climate resolution spearheaded by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) this week slamming it as a “central planning disaster” and “a roadmap to destroy the American Economy.”

White House spokesperson Judd Deere said in a statement to The Hill that President Trump “has vowed that America would never be socialist, and this administration will fight this central planning disaster,” adding that the plan was a “roadmap to destroy the American Economy.”

Politico first reported Deere’s comments regarding the resolution.

Ocasio-Cortez introduced a resolution on Thursday that would push the U.S. to reduce carbon emissions through the economy.

The proposal has a goal of creating millions of “good, high-wage jobs” by working toward net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. (Read more from “White House blasts Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal: ‘Central planning disaster'” HERE)

WATCH: Police Chief Swears in 6-Year-Old With Cancer, Fights Back Tears

/0 Comments/in , /by

In a moment that brought the local police chief to tears, a six-year-old Texas girl was made an honorary police officer in Freeport Texas on Thursday, and she had the most compelling reason of any recruit: she has cancer which doctors say cannot be treated with chemotherapy, and she wanted to become an officer so she could fight the “bad guys” in her body and make them “go away.”

Abigail Arias, 6, has Wilms tumor, a type of kidney cancer in children. Freeport Police Chief Raymond Garivey Jr. told CNN, “The chemo and radiation hasn’t worked and basically the family is now leaving it in God’s hands and praying for a miracle.” Abigail’s mother Ilene admitted to KTRK, “They basically said it’s time to enjoy some life. Extremely tough. We cried for a few weeks.” Abigail herself said, “I have cancer. The bad guys are in my lungs. I rung the bell, but now this cancer is coming back.”

In December, Abigail met Garivey and told him about her dream to become a police officer. Garivey recalled, “She goes, ‘I want to be a police officer.’ I looked back at her dad and I said, “She probably should have never told me that.” And he kind of just winked at me and I said, “We’re going to make that happen.”

The police invited Abigail to come to the Freeport station on February 7 to become an honorary police officer. Garivey said, ““Her terrific smile and will to keep fighting ‘the bad guys’ inside of her — I wanted to make her dream come true,” according to CNN, adding, “You have to meet her to really understand what a great and inspiring young lady she is.”

Here Are Ocasio-Cortez’s Latest Idiotic Remarks About Illegal Aliens and Immigration Enforcement

/0 Comments/in , /by

It still has to deal with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and her ongoing crusade against Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Her push to abolish ICE is partially what fueled her meteoric rise to Washington. Ocasio-Cortez took out longtime Democrat Joe Crowley in an upset primary that had many saying it was the Democratic version of what Republican Congressman David Brat did to then-House Majority Leader Eric Cantor in Virginia.

We all know the game here. First, we need immigration enforcement. We need federal agents working in tandem with local officials to do it. This isn’t a serious proposal, but it gets the far left riled up. And because it isn’t a serious proposal, you get half-baked jargon from the people peddling it. Yesterday, Ocasio-Cortez declared that Latinos couldn’t be declared illegal because…they’re descendants of native people (via Free Beacon):

The self-described Democratic socialist spoke on Thursday alongside several liberal groups, including MoveOn and United We Dream, a pro-immigration group that calls for ICE to be abolished. She repeatedly slammed ICE, claiming it “repeatedly and systematically violates human rights.”

“They do not deserve a dime until they can prove that they are honoring human rights, until they can make a good faith effort to expand and embrace immigrants … Until they can prove good faith to an American ideal, they do not deserve any resources for their radical agenda. We have to have respect for children, respect for families, respect for human rights, and respect for the right of human mobility,” Ocasio-Cortez said of the agency tasked with enforcing U.S. immigration laws.

The freshman congresswoman went on to suggest ICE has not given due respect to those who enter the country illegally. The United States must “respect for the right of human mobility,” she said before adding, “because it is a right.”

Venezuelans in DC: ‘We’ve Seen What Happens When Socialism Takes to the Extreme’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Our friends over at Campus Reform attended an anti-Maduro protest in Washington, D.C., to get a sense of what real Venezuelans think about the socialist policies installed in their native country.

The Venezuelan protesters urged caution about promoting the far-left policies implemented in Caracas, where socialism has caused a full-blown economic, political, and humanitarian crisis of unprecedented proportions.

“People are eating from trash bags in the street, so how has socialism actually helped the country?” asked a woman who took part in the protests.

“I don’t think any Venezuelan can really like socialism because we’ve seen it put in place,” responded one protester.

“It’s not a game. It is not a game. It is not the route to go. It is not possible. It is not feasible. Don’t fall for it,” said another.

“We’ve seen what happens when socialism takes to the extreme,” said a woman wearing a Venezuelan hat and a Venezuelan flag.

“Check your history. Look at the news. Look at all the countries that have failed under socialist government, like Cuba, like Venezuela,” another protester responded.

Considering that a large swath of the Left is now pushing a full-blown socialist Green New Deal, it doesn’t appear that they’ve spoken to enough people who have actually been forced to live under these failed policy ideas.

Mike Rowe Has a Very Unique Response to Trump’s State of the Union Address – Every American Should Hear This

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Blaze. Mike Rowe responded to the good economic and employment news from the State of the Union address that President Donald Trump gave on Tuesday, and he had a very unique take.

Rowe was asked if he was shocked by Democrats not standing or applauding for the good announcements from the president during his speech. . .

“What the president just said,” Rowe explained, “I can’t quote him verbatim, but it was really interesting, it was ‘vengeance, this or that, this or that, this or that.’ Now, arguments aside, the fundamental choices are binary in everything, right now, he’s right, it is ‘this or that.'”

“It’s dangerous to frame everything as good or bad, right or wrong, blue collar or white collar, right? That’s where we are as a country,” he said. “As a result we simply don’t know what to stand for, because when we hear something we agree with, if it’s coming out of a source we don’t like, we’re paralyzed.” . . .

“So my thought watching the speech was,” he concluded, “he can’t do or say anything that’s gonna make anybody stand who doesn’t like him, and neither can the other side, so the question is what can we talk about?”

State of the Union 2019: President Donald Trump Calls for Unity, Renews Pledge to Build Wall

By ABC News. President Donald Trump on Tuesday night gave his second State of the Union address, one week after he originally was invited to deliver it but didn’t because of the longest-ever government shutdown.

During the speech, the president stopped short of declaring a national emergency to obtain funds to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border without congressional approval. . .

However, he did not directly threaten another government shutdown, though he called on both Republicans and Democrats to “join forces” and pass a bill in the next 10 days.

It was the first State of the Union address Trump delivered before a divided Congress. Last year, the Senate and House were controlled by the president’s own Republican party. This year, Democrats re-took the House.

Trump also delivered his nearly 90-minute address to a House chamber filled with more women and people of color than ever before. During the speech, there was a brief moment of unity propelled by congresswomen in white and their allies show solidarity with the women’s suffrage movement.

SOTU: President Trump Says USA Will NEVER Adopt Socialism. Bernie Sanders’ Face Is PRICELESS

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump took on socialism in his State of the Union address, noting its failure in Venezuela and promising America that our country will stay free.

“Here in the United States, we are alarmed by the new calls to adopt socialism in our country. America was founded on liberty and independence, and not government coercion, domination, and control,” Trump said. “We are born free, and we will stay free.”

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., a self-described “Democratic socialist,” was not thrilled.

That face is priceless.

SOTU: Trump Calls on Congress to Put Drug and Human Traffickers out of Business at the Border. Kamala Harris Shakes Her Head ‘No’

/0 Comments/in , /by

As President Donald Trump addressed the illegal immigration issue in his State of the Union address, Democrats were notably silent, refusing to stand or clap.

At one point, after Trump called on Congress to “confront an urgent national crisis” and “secure our very dangerous southern border” and said we should be committed to putting “the ruthless coyotes, cartels, drug dealers, and human traffickers out of business,” Democratic 2020 presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., actually shook her head “no.”

Trump will have no problem running against Democratic candidates this radical. (For more from the author of “SOTU: Trump Calls on Congress to Put Drug and Human Traffickers out of Business at the Border. Kamala Harris Shakes Her Head ‘No'” please click HERE)
