Something Huge Was Just Revealed Involving the Death of the Migrant Boy in U.S. Custody

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Daily Wire. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials said on Wednesday that the 8-year-old Guatemalan boy who died in U.S. custody this week did so after his alleged father declined additional medical treatment.

The boy, Felipe Gomez Alonzo, was initially taken to the hospital after CBP agents noticed that he was sick and was “diagnosed with the common cold, given prescription medications and discharged,” ABC St. Louis reported.

A spokesperson for DHS said on Wednesday that the boy later continued to complain about not feeling well and started vomiting, “but the man claiming to be his father told agents that the boy did not need to return to the hospital and that ‘he had been feeling better.'”

The agents later checked on the boy and noticed that his condition had worsened, at which point they decided to take him back to the hospital where he later died. (Read more from “Something Huge Was Just Revealed Involving the Death of the Migrant Boy in U.S. Custody” HERE)

DHS: Father of Boy Who Died in Custody Told Agents Boy Didn’t Need More Medical Treatment

By ABC St. Louis. The father of the 8-year-old Guatemalan boy who died in U.S. custody this week denied further medical treatment of his son, according to a spokesperson with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Wednesday.

The boy is the second child to die of an illness in U.S. custody after being brought into the country illegally by an alleged parent.

First reports indicated that the boy, Felipe Gomez Alonzo, was taken to an area hospital for a medical examination when border agents noticed his condition. He was diagnosed with the common cold, given prescription medications and discharged. The boy and the man who brought him into the U.S., who claims to be his father, were transferred to a holding facility. . .

DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen blamed “smugglers, traffickers, and their own parents” for putting children at risk. She also took aim at Congress over U.S. border security. “Our system has been pushed to a breaking point by those who seek open borders,” she said.

President Trump Announces When the Shutdown Will End

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Blaze. During a Christmas call with U.S. troops, President Donald Trump made it clear that there won’t be a quick end to the partial shutdown of the government unless Democrats cave on their refusal to fund the border wall that was a signature promise of his campaign.

President Trump made the remarks on Tuesday morning in response to a question about when he thought the government would be reopened. In response, Trump said, “I can’t tell you when the government is going to be open. I can tell you it’s not going to be open until we have a wall, a fence, whatever they would like to call it.”

In response to a question from a reporter in the Oval Office, President Trump touted some of the progress that has recently been made on border security, and also explained some of the claims he has made on Twitter in recent days about sections of the wall that are already under construction.

“One other thing people don’t understand or know… we’ve renovated massive amounts of very good wall — wall that was good but was in bad shape…. And in addition to that, and I think very, very importantly, we’ve built a lot of new wall. So it’s all being built; the new piece, the new section, it’s very, very exciting what’s going on there, and you’ll see it because in January I’m going there. … So, while we’re fighting over funding, we’re also building, and it’s my hope to have this done, or completed — all five hundred to five hundred-fifty miles — to have it either renovated or brand new by election time,” Trump said.

Trump also reiterated his claim that he already has sufficient funding to build a wall in the $25 billion that Congress approved for border security during the last round of funding talks, but that “We want the wall money to be increased, because I want to finish it.” (Read more from “President Trump Announces When the Shutdown Will End” HERE)

Trump’s Christmas message to Democrats: Government shutdown will last ‘until we have a wall’

By Fox News. President Trump has a Christmas message for Democrats – the government is going to remain partially shut down “until we have a wall [or] fence.”

Trump, speaking to reporters Tuesday in the Oval Office during the fourth day of the impasse, also revealed that he will be going to the border in Texas for a “groundbreaking” ceremony for a portion of the project at the end of January.

“While we’re fighting over funding, we’re also building, and it’s my hope to have this done, completed, all 500 to 550 miles, to have it either renovated or brand new by Election Day,” he said.

Democrats, though, remain opposed to approving additional funding for a border wall as part of a new government spending package — and their hand only strengthens once the party takes control of the House next month. The White House warned over the weekend that the shutdown standoff could extend into the new year, and Trump on Tuesday made clear he’s not planning to budge either.

Trump the Disrupter Pivots Back to Trumpism – and the Establishment Freaks Out

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Americans who voted for Donald Trump wanted a disrupter, and that’s what Santa brought them this Christmas/Hanukah/Kwanzaa. After two years of denying his inner Donald, and under fire from all sides, Trump finally went full Trump. That is, he actually did what he promised, and the establishment lost its collective Schiff.

They really thought this was it for Trump. They thought they finally had him. The GOP just lost the House. The Fed raised interest rates as the market slumped – for totally economic reasons and not to hurt Trump’s chances, and if you say different you are a crazy traitor Russian emoluments treason guy. Ann Coulter was dissing him about the wall so hard he unfollowed her on Twitter. The Mueller festival of elite onanism peaked with the Flynn fiasco.

But when all hell breaks loose, Trump thrives. And he thrives through disruption. He stopped trying to behave – yeah, the last two years was him behaving in an attempt to work with the establishment – and started doing what he said he would do. He went back to disrupting the elite consensus. And that has freaked out the squares.

Trump campaigned on his promise to build a wall. He told Frisco Nancy and Chuck Odd that he would shut down the government if he didn’t get his wall money. The Republican establishment, which does not really want a wall because the GOP corporate donor class doesn’t want to turn off the spigot of cheap foreign peasant labor even though those illegals are all future Democrat voters, led Trump on and on. They put continuing resolution after continuing resolution in front of him, each time promising to really, truly, cross-my-heart-and-hope-you-die fight next time. He gave them a chance. He gave them too many chances. And they expected he’d go along again this time. But conservatives drew the line and Trump realized that he needed to do what he did best to get back inside the ruling class’s decision cycle.

He needed to disrupt, so he kept his promise. He refused to play along with the wall scam anymore. And the gleeful Dem senators singing carols as they expected to get away with another grift ended their serenade with a sad trombone. Now the government is going to shut down, and Trump has zero to lose by holding out. (Read more from “Trump the Disrupter Pivots Back to Trumpism – and the Establishment Freaks Out” HERE)

Son of President Reagan Has Urgent Warning for Trump Concerning the Border Wall

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Blaze. Michael Reagan, son of former President Ronald Reagan, voiced a dire warning to President Donald Trump Thursday, one day before the government temporarily shut down over a budget battle between Republicans and Democrats.

Despite Democrats’ insistence to thwart any and all effort to build a wall on the southern U.S. border, Reagan — who hasn’t always been a Trump supporter — urged Trump to not back down from border security. . .

One of Trump’s central campaign promises was border security and erecting a border wall. However, politics in Washington have proved to be a powerful roadblock to seeing the realization of that promise.

Ronald Reagan’s Son Warns Trump About Border Wall

By Daily Wire. The son of former President Ronald Reagan issued a warning for President Donald Trump this week, telling the president that this is his last chance to get the funding that he needs to build the border wall.

“Hey @POTUS in 1986 my father made a deal with the Democrats Amnesty for Border Security my father is still waiting,” Michael Reagan tweeted on Thursday. “U have no choice its now or never. #BuildTheWallNow.”

“The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 allowed any illegal immigrants who had been in the U.S. since 1982 to receive temporary legal status and eventually become eligible for green cards if they learned English,” The Washington Examiner reported. “The legislation also attempted to boost border security by increasing funding for the Immigration and Naturalization Service and the U.S. Border Patrol. … The measure also sought to crack down on illegal immigration by barring employers from knowingly hiring illegal immigrants.”

The number of illegal immigrants currently in the U.S. has more than doubled since 1986, from approximately 5 million to 11.1 million, according to The Washington Post. . .

UPDATE: This Air Force Veteran Started a GoFundMe Campaign for Trump’s Wall…and Raised How Much Again?

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Editor’s note: see the updated story below about how the GoFundMe wall funding has now surpassed $15 million!

By Townhall. Well, there could be a government shutdown this week, or not. Either way, whatever is cooked up on the Hill; there will be probably be no wall funding. The Senate has put forward a stopgap measure will fund the government until February, but we don’t know what the president is going to do. Still, there have to be mounting frustration over the lack of progress with regards to the wall, a key and must-do action item for the administration. It formed the cornerstone of his 2016 campaign. So, with no wall, one Air Force veteran decided to take matters in his own hands, starting a GoFundMe campaign that amassed over $500,000 in two days.

Purple Heart Air Force Veteran, 37, Who Lost Both His Legs and an Arm, Creates GoFundMe Campaign to Build Trump’s Border Wall, Raising Nearly $1MILLION

By Daily Mail. A Florida Air Force veteran has raised nearly $1million to build President Donald Trump’s promised border wall.

Triple amputee Brian Kolfage, 37, created the GoFundMe account on Sunday titled We The People Will Fund The Wall, and in three days has already raised over $900,000 of its $1billion goal.

‘It’s up to Americans to help out and pitch in to get this project rolling,’ the page reads. ‘If the 63 million people who voted for Trump each pledge $80, we can build the wall.’

Trump is demanding $5billion to build the southern border wall with Mexico, and is threatening to shut down the government if he can’t get the funding.

The fundraising page says it has contacted the Trump Administration to secure a point of contact where all the funds will go, but adds it has ‘many very high level contacts already helping’.

Air Force Veteran’s GoFundMe Campaign Now Exceeds $15,000,000. Transgender’s GoFundMe Raises $127k

Two competing GoFundMe pages – one raising money to fund President Trump’s border wall and another raising money for ladders for migrants to use to surmount that wall – are both continuing to rack up quite a bit of cash.

The original crowdfunding campaign, entitled We The People Will Fund The Wall, surpassed $15million on Saturday, on its way to lofty $1billion goal.

More than 250,000 people have donated to the page since it was created on Sunday by Brian Kolfage, a triple amputee Air Force veteran.

The campaign description says in part: ‘It’s time we uphold our laws, and get this wall BUILT! It’s up to Americans to help out and pitch in to get this project rolling.’

On Wednesday Charlotte Clymer, a transgender woman and human rights activist from Texas, launched her own fundraising page in response, titled Ladders to Get Over Trump’s Wall. (Read more about the Air Force Veteran’s GoFundMe HERE)

Christmas Review: The Promises Trump and Republicans Kept — and the Ones They Didn’t

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Which campaign promises did President Donald Trump deliver for conservatives before Christmas 2018? At the end of 2017, the Republican majority and the president delivered on some of their promises, but failed to keep most of them. In 2018, sadly, Republicans lost control of the House of Representatives after spending the last year of their majority failing to do what they said they would do.

Let’s review the unfinished promises from 2017 and see what was kept:

1. Full repeal of Obamacare

Republicans did not fully repeal Obamacare in 2018, as was promised in 2010 and every election thereafter. After reducing the individual mandate tax penalty to zero in the 2017 tax bill, the Republican Congress did not act on health insurance reform, putting the burden on the Trump administration to enact changes to the law by executive order.

President Trump worked with Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., to develop regulations to expand access to association health plans, offering cheaper insurance plans for small businesses and collectives of people who band together to purchase health insurance. The administration also expanded the length of time Americans are permitted to purchase cheaper short-term health insurance plans to three years. However, these executive branch workarounds are not permanent solutions and can be reversed by a future Democratic president.

Several lawsuits have moved forward against Obamacare, and in December, a Texas federal judge declared the entire law unconstitutional based on the Republicans’ change to the individual mandate. That ruling is likely to be challenged, however, giving the Roberts Supreme Court another opportunity to save Obamacare next year.

President Trump and the Republicans have not kept their promise to fully repeal Obamacare yet.

2. Border security and the wall

President Trump’s border wall has not been fully funded by Congress, though parts of it were constructed in 2018. In a March spending bill, Congress authorized $641 million to be spent to build 33 miles of physical barriers in Southern Texas’ Rio Grande Valley. Construction there will begin in February.

Congress also appropriated $292 million to the Department of Homeland Security to replace pre-existing “ineffective” fencing in Southern California, New Mexico, and western parts of Texas. But the Republican majority in Congress did not fund the full $25 billion requested by President Trump, unable to overcome Democratic opposition in the Senate.

There is an ongoing debate as the year ends over attaching $5 billion as a down payment for the wall in a spending bill needed to pass Congress by midnight tonight to keep the government fully open. President Trump says he will not sign a bill without wall funding, and Democrats refuse to vote for wall funding. The unfunded parts of government are likely to shut down, and Congress will need to negotiate wall funding in 2019 to open them back up.

For now, the wall is not built or fully funded.

3. Repeal Dodd-Frank

In June 2017, the House of Representatives voted to repeal the “Obamacare of financial markets” along party lines. The U.S. Senate killed the House bill, and Congress went back to the drawing board. In May 2018, Congress passed and President Trump signed a bipartisan agreement to roll back parts of the law, but it was not fully repealed.

Most disappointing, the unconstitutional Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was not eliminated. This is a promise half-kept and unlikely to be revisited in Trump’s first term.

4. Nominate a pro-life justice to the Supreme Court

President Trump kept this promise with the nomination of Justice Gorsuch in 2017, but in 2018 he had another opportunity to keep it by appointing a second pro-life justice. He chose Justice Brett Kavanaugh. The court with Kavanaugh has not yet taken up an abortion case, but it did reject one. Justice Kavanaugh cast the deciding vote to reject a case dealing with state funding for Planned Parenthood. Justice Neil Gorsuch, Trump’s 2017 appointee, voted in favor of hearing the case.

Does that mean Trump failed to nominate a pro-life justice in Kavanaugh? It’s still too early to tell, but that decision by the court was a troubling sign.

5. Pain-capable abortion ban

In January, the United States Senate voted to end debate and advance a federal ban on abortions after 20 weeks of gestation, the point at which scientists believe an unborn baby can feel pain. The vote failed to reach the 60-vote threshold to overcome obstruction from Democrats, and Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, voted to block the bill as well.

Had Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., invoked the two-speech rule to overcome Democratic obstruction, the bill would have passed Congress and have been sent to President Donald Trump’s desk for his signature.

6. Defund Planned Parenthood

Planned Parenthood was not defunded in 2018, and in fact, congressional Republicans say they will give up attempts to defund the nation’s largest abortion provider in 2019 now that the Democrats have control of the House of Representatives. This is the most disappointing broken promise from Republicans under President Trump.

7. First Amendment Defense Act

A federal version of laws designed to protect religious liberty by preventing the government from penalizing Americans for affirming that marriage is only the union between a man and a woman was introduced by Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, in the Senate and by Rep. Raul Labrador, R-Idaho, in the House.

The president supports this legislation. “If Congress considers the First Amendment Defense Act a priority, then I will do all I can to make sure it comes to my desk for signatures and enactment,” Trump wrote in a letter in 2016.

Congress still hasn’t moved on it and likely won’t pass it with Democrats in control of the House.

8. Fixing the Fed

Congress did not pass or even vote on legislation to audit the Federal Reserve in 2018, despite efforts from Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., to push the issue. And despite President Donald Trump’s campaign preference for auditing the Fed and abandoning fiat currency for a gold standard, he has not championed the issue as president.

9. Tax reform

In 2017, President Trump signed a tax reform plan that, while short of a fundamental restructuring of the American tax system, gave most Americans a solid tax cut and gave American businesses a huge competitive edge. In 2018, the House of Representatives voted to make the tax cuts permanent. The Senate has not yet considered that legislation.

10. Scrap Obama’s unconstitutional executive orders (DACA to start)

In 2017 President Trump canceled Obama’s unconstitutional amnesty, but since then federal courts have undone Trump’s executive action. It is Congress’ responsibility to pass immigration reform that will undo Obama’s damage to the Constitution and put the courts in their place. Republicans must rein in the courts to keep this promise.

11. Repeal the EPA “Waters of the United States” rule

The Trump administration began the formal process of repealing this tyrannical regulation permitting the government to seize control of puddles last year, and earlier this year the EPA rule was suspended. Sens. Mike Lee, R-Utah, and Rand Paul, R-Ky., lead an effort to permanently repeal the rule in June, but their bill was defeated in the Senate.

Trump’s administration is working to replace the rule, but a future Democratic president may be able to bring it back unless Congress ends it permanently.

12. National right to carry

President Trump was a strong advocate for the Second Amendment on the campaign trail. As president, he has not yet pushed for Congress to pass legislation guaranteeing concealed carry reciprocity nationwide.

Instead, Trump’s administration is advancing a sweeping gun control regulation to ban bump stocks, a gun accessory that uses recoil energy from semi-automatic rifles to increase the firearms’ rate of fire. Contrary to popular belief and lies from gun control advocates, bump stocks do not turn rifles into machine guns. Sean Davis, writing for The Federalist, warns that the Trump administration’s gun control effort “could eventually be used as a basis for a presidential administration unilaterally banning and confiscating all semi-automatic weapons.”

President Trump is not only breaking his promise to protect and advance the Second Amendment, his administration is working to undermine it.

In the remaining two years of Trump’s presidency, Democrats will control the House of Representatives, and President Trump and the Republican majority in the Senate will need to fight harder than ever to keep these promises ahead of the 2020 election. Conservatives must keep pressuring Congress and the president to fulfill their pledges to the American people.

By Townhall. President Trump announced Thursday afternoon Secretary of Defense James Mattis will be leaving his position at the beginning of next year.

The move comes less than 24-hours after President Trump announced U.S. troops will be leaving Syria, a decision Mattis, along with a number of other military leaders, strongly disagrees with.

In Characteristic Fashion, Trump Hits Back After Mattis’ Resignation

By Quint Forgey. President Donald Trump claimed Saturday he gave outgoing Defense Secretary James Mattis “a second chance” after the retired Marine general was ousted from military leadership under the Obama administration.

“When President Obama ingloriously fired Jim Mattis, I gave him a second chance. Some thought I shouldn’t, I thought I should,” Trump tweeted Saturday evening.

Former President Barack Obama fired Mattis as head of U.S. Central Command in 2013 in large part because of Mattis’ increasingly hawkish posture toward Iran.

. . .Trump wrote that he made sure Mattis was better equipped and more empowered in his role leading the Pentagon since January 2017.

“Interesting relationship-but I also gave all of the resources that he never really had. Allies are very important-but not when they take advantage of U.S.,” Trump tweeted. (Read more about how Trump reacted to Mattis’ unexpected news HERE)

US Defense Secretary James Mattis left a stark message for his successor in his resignation letter: Wake up and smell the threat

By Business Insider. US Defense Secretary James Mattis announced his resignation from the Trump administration on Thursday, setting in motion the end of what has been a tumultuous tenure working with President Donald Trump.

In his resignation letter, Mattis told Trump, without saying his name, that the president has a “right to have a Secretary of Defense whose views are better aligned” with his own. . .

But it was the outgoing defense secretary’s warning about the shifting nature of great-power relations he hopes his successor will study closely. . .

“I believe we must be resolute and unambiguous to those countries whose strategic interests are increasingly at odds with our own,” Mattis wrote in his resignation letter.

“It is clear that China and Russia, for example, want to shape a world consistent with their authoritarian model — gaining veto authority over other nations’ economic, diplomatic and security decisions — to promote their own interests at the expense of their neighbours, America and our allies.” (Read more from “US Defense Secretary James Mattis left a stark message for his successor in his resignation letter: Wake up and smell the threat” HERE)

Video Captures Retired Marine Taking Robber’s Gun, Beating Him With It

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Daily Caller. A would-be armed robber picked on the wrong bartender early Tuesday morning when he tried to rob an Altoona, Pennsylvania, bar only to be disarmed and beaten with his own gun.

The yet-unidentified black male suspect walked into Ajay’s Bar around 1 a.m. Tuesday morning, armed and demanding money from the bartender, WTAJ reported.

Surveillance video posted by Liveleak shows the bartender going to get the money, followed by the suspect. But as he was about to hand over the cash, the bartender — who happened to be a “highly trained” former Marine Corps combat veteran — promptly disarmed the would-be robber.

A shot was fired toward the ceiling before the bartender hit the suspect in the head with his own weapon, which police say had actually been reported stolen months earlier.

Bar Robber Stopped by Retired Marine Veteran

By WTAJ. Police are looking for a suspect who attempted to rob a local bar, but was stopped by their bartender.

Altoona police say a suspect came to Ajays Bar about 1 a.m. this morning with a gun and demanded money. That’s when the bartender, a retired marine Corp combat veteran, stepped in.

Police say the suspect pointed the gun at the bartender demanding cash from the register. The bartender then went to get the money, and as he was handing it to the suspect, the bartender disarmed them. That’s when a single shot was fired towards the ceiling of the bar. The bartender then proceeded to hit the suspect in the back of the head with the gun and punch them repeatedly in the face.

“I am very familiar with him. He is highly trained. The suspect definitely picked the wrong guy to mess with,” said Sgt. Matt Plummer, Altoona Police Department. (Read more from “Bar Robber Stopped by Retired Marine Veteran” HERE)

The Evidence Coming out of the Flynn Case Makes Mueller Look Worse and Worse

/0 Comments/in , , /by

As Michael Flynn stood for sentencing Tuesday, you could imagine the special counsel attorneys audibly exhale in relief as he declined to withdraw his guilty plea. Until that moment, it was an open question whether Judge Emmet Sullivan would excuse the government’s now apparent misconduct.

Instead, the judge blasted Flynn for “selling out” his country and wondered whether a “treason” charge might have been considered at some point. The Federalist’s Sean Davis hypothesized that the judge was frustrated by the Flynn team attempting to have his cake and eat it too. If Flynn wanted to attack the government’s abuse of constitutional rights, fine—then withdraw the plea. If not, then drop it. . .

Flynn is a big boy with big boy attorneys. He’s the only one who can legally object to the mishandling of his case, and he chose not to do so. But as Americans, we should nevertheless be concerned. . .

Flynn entered his guilty plea on November 30, 2017. Judge Rudolph Contreras, who accepted Flynn’s plea, mysteriously recused himself approximately one week later. Then, in March of 2018, newly public Strzok texts revealed one possible explanation for the mysterious recusal: the new texts showed Strzok was so friendly with Contreras that Strzok wondered whether there might be a conflict of interest for the judge to rule upon warrant applications involving Strzok. Since Strzok was the key witness in the Flynn lying case, some have speculated that Contreras was ordered off the case.

We’ve also known for some time that McCabe had a vendetta against Flynn because Flynn helped a woman accusing McCabe of retaliating for a discrimination complaint. What Flynn may not have known at the time he entered the plea is the government’s case relied on McCabe’s reliability.
