Kerry would also deny Americans guns to protect themselves while he is surrounded by armed guards with automatic weapons! Must be nice to ban the peasants from your beach because you are afraid of terrorists yet the rest of us not only can't use the beach but can't defend our own homes!
Meanwhile, fellow Democrat Sen. Chuck Schumer was all in favor of building border barriers until it became politically expedient to oppose them.
Chuck Schumer in 2009:
-Americans don't like illegal immigration -"Illegal immigration is wrong" -People illegally in the U.S. are "illegal aliens," not "undocumented" -Border fence made the southern border "far more secure...created a significant barrier to illegal immigration" pic.twitter.com/zoVyEgdrTC
It's the season of giving and it seems the only thing the left gives is hate!
Unbelievable. But we've seen time and time again how much hate the left expresses on a daily basis to ANYONE who does not share their radical, fascist views!
Brian Kolfage is a triple amputee who lost both legs and an arm serving in Iraq. He has a history of fighting censorship of conservative speech. His latest venture is a Go Fund Me page to solicit contributions to build the border wall. As of Sunday it has raised over $18 million.
Just for exercising his right to free speech he has become a target of left wing fascists, who you see from other posts here are not shy about saying some really horrific things to those with whom they disagree politically. But death threats to children have to be a new low.
The left is OUTRAGED that Brian would have the nerve to help fund a project to defend America.
Gateway Pundit reporter Cassandra Fairbanks spoke with Brian earlier this week.
Deranged leftists have been sending triple-amputee veteran Brian Kolfage mountains of abuse after he was trashed by the Daily Beast, Jimmy Kimmel, Alyssa Milano and other high-profile liberals.
The hate mail provided to the Gateway Pundit contains appalling statements such as people asking if his brain was “amputated too,” calling him a “handicapped bitch,” telling him to commit suicide, wishing harm upon his children and mocking him for having lost his limbs while fighting for this nation.
"After Alyssa Milano and Jimmy Kimmel took it upon themselves to personally attack me it blew up in their faces. The left wingers took that as their dog whistle and began attacking me, my wife and our children,” Kolfage told The Gateway Pundit," Kolfage said.
On Thursday, Kimmel used his show to trash the nearly 260,000 people who have donated nearly $16 million to the GoFundMe in less than a week, calling them “dopey people” and saying that they are “dipping into their meth money.”
On Thursday night Brian Kolfage told FOX Business Network that since Kimmel’s attacks his wife and children have been receiving death threats.
Violence against conservatives is mounting every day in the United States as left wing fascists are emboldened by their leaders to take action. It's a good thing Trump supporters are more restrained. After all, they know how to shoot!
Where did these left wing fascists get the idea that THEY can decide who shops and who doesn't? You know the answer...
If this was a Christian baker who refused to bake a cake for a gay wedding the bakery would be shut down and the entire staff put out of work. But at least this lunatic was ">fired. Clearly not the kind of person who should have any contact with the public!
Major pat on the back to Ian Ferguson, 36, who stood his ground and refused to be bullied, intimidated or threatened by this left wing cretin.
Months of Democrat leaders telling their supporters to confront Trump supporters, Hillary saying "no civility" and Antifa suggesting that violence against political opponents is justified is taking it's toll on the already limited sanity and intelligence of left wing fascists.
Time for police to start arresting these people for their own good before they do harm to themselves and others!
If Hillary were President and wanted $5 billion for a wall Dems would insist she take $10 billion!
Since Sen. John Kerry famously said "I voted for the $87 billion before I voted against it" Democrats have continued to flip flop on important issues of national security whenever they determine their is political hay to be made. Now, it's whatever Trump wants they are against. Just like the old Marx Brothers tune:
The Marxist brotherhood in the Democrat Party has no shame in signing their version of that tune even if they are exposed as the most massive hypocrites and liars of all time!
Think back just a few short weeks to where several Senate Democrats in tight re-election races suddenly expressed support for Trump's border wall. Senators Nelson, Heitkamp, Donnely, McCaskill all said in the closing months of the 2018 midterm election that they would support funding for more border security including a wall. They continue to hold office until the new Senate is sworn in and could easily vote for the appropriation. But as expected, their words were empty promises. Same for Senators Tester and Manchin who survived re-election by promising to support Trump's plan. Where are they?
Then there are the Democrats who previously voted for border barriers with the Secure Fence Act of 2006 which promised 700 miles of double layer fencing. The second layer was never built. 80 Senators voted for that bill including Feinstein, Carper and notably Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Now in the U.S. Senate Chuck Schumer and Sherrod Brown, Ron Wyden and Debbie Stabenow voted for the 2006 bill as members of the U.S. House.
That's more than ten votes right there to overcome a filibuster if you are serious about border security. Or where those previous votes just political pandering in the same way as today's refusal to fund the wall?
Obama's 2008 presidential campaign stressed the importance of border security including barriers. Hillary was no different:
HILLARY: "I voted numerous times when I was a Senator to spend money to build a barrier to try to prevent illegal immigrants from coming in and I do think you have to control your borders," Clinton said.
One of the Democrats current objections to Trump's border wall is that it costs too much. Laughable once you consider that the new crop of the Marxist brotherhood have outlined tens of trillions in NEW spending without a hint of how it might be paid for. Newly minted Representative Ocasio Cortez wants $40 TRILLION in new spending on her pet projects yet denounces $5billion for a border wall as wasteful. Who does she think she's fooling?
Trump is right to stand strong on the border wall and expose Democrats spending hypocrisy. The American people are not as foolish and forgetful as Democrats believe. At least not the Americans who voted against these fools and have no intention of changing their mind!
The generals and Obama's Secretary of Defense warned Obama not to pull all U.S. troops out of Iraq. He did anyway. His defenders claim that we didn't have the Status of Forces Agreement to keep them there. The same people said nothing when Obama sent U.S. troops BACK to Iraq without the same forces agreement.
Now, Trump is pulling U.S. forces out of Syria and the same people are complaining.... Hypocrites? You bet!
They want Trump to leave troops in Syria to confront the Russians and the Iranians. But these are the same folks who insist who denounced Reagan for confronting the Russians and attacked President George H.W. Bush for tough talk on Iran. Do they now want a war with Russia and Iran just because Trump does not?
Suddenly, the same people who have denounced nearly every move by Trump and his national security team which includes Defense Secretary Mattis are all hopping to use Mattis's resignation to bash Trump. Once again, their hypocrisy is showing.
There are good reasons to maintain a strong U.S. military presence in the Middle East. But the minute Trump advocated for that these same people who are now showing the usual signs of hysteric over reaction would object to that too even if they had advocated for it the day before.
My advice to President Trump: do what you think is right. If I were President I would keep military options in the Middle East open. But of course the moment you do that these hysteric lefties will swear the sky is falling. Don't pay them the slightest attention!
Imagine if Trump were to answer a future Democrat subpoena by saying the information had been erased!
Last week the Department of Justice Office of Inspector General took the unusual step of issuing a special report describing how 19,000 texts, many between FBI lovers Strzok and Page who are at the heart of the get Trump cabal within the FBI and Special Counsel Mueller's office were deleted.
I gave this story a week to see if it had legs. It didn't. If it was mentioned at all it was so brief that I bet most people never heard of it. I have not heard any report that the 24/7 hate Trump media even bothered to mention it. But this is a significant key to understanding the entire cabal and their desire to get Trump no matter what.
We already know that FBI's Peter Strzok and Lisa Page sent a slew of messages on FBI phones describing the "insurance policy" and how it was being arranged with Deputy FBI Director McCabe. Their goal was clear:
If they couldn't stop Trump from becoming President their goal was to fabricate a situation that would lead to his impeachment. Strzok, Page, McCabe and Comey have all been removed from their posts with cause. Yet, Democrats continue to follow this plan.
The Inspector General's extraordinary report covers the period when both Strzok and Page were working with Mueller at a time when General Flynn and other figures in the Administration were being targeted for investigation. Failure to preserve these messages makes the effort to uncover the cabal that much more difficult. Sidney Powell, former federal prosecutor writes:
This was after the inspector general informed Mueller of the extreme bias of Strzok and Page evidenced by thousands of text messages on their phones. These messages were so egregious they required their termination from Mueller’s squad. Not only did Mueller hide this development from Congress, but he destroyed evidence on Strzok’s phone and allowed DOJ to do the same for Page’s phone. That’s a crime. Mueller put Paul Manafort in solitary confinement for simply trying to contact a witness.
Any ethical law Department of Justice official would have taken custody of all electronic devices of Strzok and Page immediately upon discovery of their extreme bias and blatant misconduct — or certainly upon their termination — and preserved all the evidence. For Mueller to destroy this evidence is blatant obstruction of justice that warrants his immediate termination. The same is true for Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein who was “overseeing” it at the time.
Mueller had an obligation to turn those devices over to the Inspector General's office for examination. Instead they were erased. Just another "bureaucratic snafu"? That's the description Bill Clinton used to excuse all kinds of convenient shady goings on during his time in office. Imagine if Trump tried that. Democrats would being impeachment proceedings the next day.
If she were a Republican there would already be calls for her to resign in disgrace!
How many times have Republicans been made the butt of jokes? More than anyone can count. Saturday Night Live actually made people believe Sarah Palin said she could "see Russia from my house." But it's not permitted to either criticize or mock Democrats. Even when they are as dumb as a box of rocks like newly elected Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The woman makes former V.P. Joe Biden, the previous champion gaffe machine, look intelligent by comparison.
And now, nit-wit Ocasio-Cortez has decided that being elected to Congress means she can abuse Congresses subpoena power to target those who make fun of her. Seems she might want to at least wait until she's sworn in before she starts threatening people with police state tactics.
Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez threatened to use the powers of her elected office to retaliate against Donald Trump Jr. on Friday after the president's son posted a meme trolling her on his personal Instagram account.
I have noticed that Junior here has a habit of posting nonsense about me whenever the Mueller investigation heats up. Please, keep it coming Jr - it’s definitely a “very, very large brain” idea to troll a member of a body that will have subpoena power in a month.Have fun! https://t.co/oQ6MsdJYCk — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@Ocasio2018) December 7, 2018
Ocasio-Cortez's tweet came in response to this Instagram post from Trump Jr.:
Almost immediately, numerous political analysts, commentators, and pundits noted that Ocasio-Cortez's comments likely constituted an ethics violation.
"It's worth noting that the official House Ethics Manual explicitly prohibits the kind of threat that @Ocasio2018 just issued against @DonaldJTrumpJr for his refusal to support her political agenda," The Federalist's Sean Davis wrote on Twitter.
The House prohibition on the very kind of threat that @Ocasio2018 just made to @DonaldTrumpJr couldn't be clearer: lawmakers are "prohibited from threatening punitive action" against people/groups for not politically supporting the lawmaker. Ethics Committee should investigate. pic.twitter.com/NNIPp1vsyv

A source close to Donald Trump Jr. told The Daily Wire that they expect an ethics complaint will be filed.
Here are some of the most notable responses to Ocasio-Cortez's tweet:
So, um, if he trolls you on media, then you're going to use the power of the government to come after him? That's not fascist or anything. https://t.co/82hOJp39Ua
— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) December 7, 2018
So you stalk @DonaldJTrumpJr on Twitter and are now threatening to abuse Congressional subpoena power for a personal vendetta if he continues to point out the stupid things you say? How very progressive. https://t.co/y83M83NH55

My dislike for Jr is well-documented, but threatening a private citizen with a Congressional subpoena because he made a meme you don't like is one hell of a hot take. https://t.co/urxbAaSIbA

Sorry, did this fool just threaten to use the power of government to punish a citizen because he posted a meme? https://t.co/gnlpGAAiKs

Did you just threaten to subpoena someone for criticizing you? As a lawyer and former prosecutor I find this deeply troubling. https://t.co/OqIpBkbsIS

.@Ocasio2018, you come off as ignorant and uninformed.
Going to threaten all of with illegal retaliatory subpoenas because you’re too thin skinned to take that kind of criticism?
You are proving that you are far too emotional and immature to hold this seat. https://t.co/JHLnBBrhiT

Where is Antifa? The group sworn to oppose fascism. Shouldn't they be all over this? Well no... they are actually fascists too. I just wonder how long Dems will continue to worship this fool who beclowns herself every time she opens her ignorant and uneducated mouth?
Britain's best hope for victory was realized when the "Great Republic" joined the fight!
Seventy-seven years ago today the fate of the free world was decided when Japan attacked the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii Territory, on the morning of December 7, 1941. Up to that point and for some time after things had not gone well for Britain which fought mostly alone until the Soviet Union was attacked in June, 1941.
The threat of German invasion hung over the British Isles only just fended off by the courage and skill of the Royal Air Force. Even with that success things were bleak as Britain's vital lifeline to it's Empire and America's manufacturing might continued to suffer huge loses on the Atlantic sea routes.
With the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor the pretense of America's neutrality was swept away and the growing alliance between Britain and the United States would continue in earnest. Things were about to change for the better.
In his own words Winston Churchill describes the scene:
IT WAS SUNDAY EVENING, December 7, 1941. Winant and Averell Harriman were alone with me at the table at Chequers. I turned on my small wireless set shortly after the nine o'clock news had started. There were a number of items about the fighting on the Russian front and on the British front in Libya, at the end of which some few sentences were spoken regarding an attack by the Japanese on American shipping at Hawaii, and also Japanese attacks on British vessels in the Dutch East Indies. There followed a statement that after the news Mr. Somebody would make a commentary, and that the Brains Trust programme would then begin, or something like this. I did not personally sustain any direct impression, but Averell said there was something about the Japanese attacking the Americans, and, in spite of being tired and resting, we all sat up. By now the butler, Sawyers, who had heard what had passed, came into the room, saying, "It's quite true. We heard it ourselves outside. The Japanese have attacked the Americans." There was a silence. At the Mansion House luncheon on November 11 I had said that if Japan attacked the United States a British declaration of war would follow "within the hour." I got up from the table and walked through the hall to the office, which was always at work. I asked for a call to the President. The Ambassador followed me out, and, imagining I was about to take some irrevocable step, said, "Don't you think you'd better get confirmation first?" In two or three minutes Mr. Roosevelt came through. "Mr. President, what's this about Japan?" "It's quite true," he replied. "They have attacked us at Pearl Harbour. We are all in the same boat now." I put Winant onto the line and some interchanges took place, the Ambassador at first saying, "Good," "Good" — and then, apparently graver, "Ah!" I got on again and said, "This certainly simplifies things. God be with you," or words to that effect. We then went back into the hall and tried to adjust our thoughts to the supreme world event which had occurred, which was of so startling a nature as to make even those who were near the centre gasp. My two American friends took the shock with admirable fortitude. We had no idea that any serious losses had been inflicted on the United States Navy. They did not wail or lament that their country was at war. They wasted no words in reproach or sorrow. In fact, one might almost have thought they had been delivered from a long pain.
... No American will think it wrong of me if I proclaim that to have the United States at our side was to me the greatest joy. I could not foretell the course of events. I do not pretend to have measured accurately the martial might of Japan, but now at this very moment I knew the United States was in the war up to the neck and in to the death. So we had won after all. Yes, after Dunkirk; after the fall of France; after the horrible episode of Oran; after the threat of invasion, when, apart from the Air and the Navy, we were an almost unarmed people; after the deadly struggle of the U-boat war, the first Battle of the Atlantic, gained by a hand's-breadth; after seventeen months of lonely fighting and nineteen months of my responsibility in dire stress, we had won the war. England would live; Britain would live; the Commonwealth of Nations and the Empire would live. How long the war would last or in what fashion it would end, no man could tell, nor did I at this moment care. Once again in our long Island history we should emerge, however mauled or mutilated, sate and victorious. We should not be wiped out. Our history would not come to an end. We might not even have to die as individuals. Hitler's fate was sealed. Mussolini's fate was sealed. As for the Japanese, they would be ground to powder. All the rest was merely the proper application of overwhelming force. The British Empire, the Soviet Union, and now the United States, bound together with every scrap of their life and strength, were, according to my lights, twice or even thrice the force of their antagonists. No doubt it would take a long time. I expected terrible forfeits in the East; but all this would be merely a passing phase. United we could subdue everybody else in the world. Many disasters, immeasurable cost and tribulation lay ahead, but there was no more doubt about the end.
Silly people, and there were many, not only in enemy countries, might discount the force of the United States. Some said they were soft, others that they would never be united. They would tool around at a distance. They would never come to grips. They would never stand blood-letting. Their democracy and system of recurrent elections would paralyze their war effort. They would be just a vague blur on the horizon to friend or foe. Now we should see the weakness of this numerous but remote, wealthy, and talkative people. But I had studied the American Civil War, fought out to the last desperate inch. American blood flowed in my veins. I thought of a remark which Edward Grey had made to me more than thirty years before - that the United States is like "a gigantic boiler. Once the fire is lighted under it there is no limit to the power it can generate." Being saturated and satiated with emotion and sensation, I went to bed and slept the sleep of the saved and thankful.
December 7th should be celebrated as the day Britain and the world were saved from destruction and tyranny by a total partnership with what Churchill called "The Great Republic." Sadly, too often these lessons from history are forgotten and the horror repeats.
