Potential
Speaker Candidate Marcia Fudge: Nancy Pelosi an ‘Elitist,’ ‘Very Wealthy
Person’
Pelosi’s Pacific Heights
needs refugees
Pacific
Heights is one of San Francisco’s most expensive neighborhoods. It boasts
dramatic views of the Golden Gate Bridge, the Marin Headlands, and the blue
waters of San Francisco Bay.
Oracle
founder Larry Ellison is one of its more prominent and distinguished residents,
as is House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
For
all its attractiveness as a neighborhood with its boutique shops and upscale
restaurants, Pacific Heights lacks two vital ingredients to make it a truly
great American neighborhood -- economic and cultural diversity.
That’s
why President Donald Trump’s plan to resettle “refugees” in sanctuary cities
should be embraced by Pacific Heights’ residents.
By
inviting the refugees now stranded at the border, Pacific Heights would not
only strengthen the sinew of its community but also contribute to alleviating
the humanitarian crisis at the border.
Our
strength is our diversity, and Pacific Heights lacks that strength. It is
culturally homogenous in a city that is diverse.
In
San Francisco, earning $117,000 a year or less makes you a
low-income earner . Placing refugees in Pacific Heights
where housing and other costs are truly astronomical would require the
compassion and economic assistance of its residents. The former they have long
signaled, and the latter they are more than able to do.
Nancy
Pelosi lives in
a walled mansion on a large expanse of land with
majestic views. Her mansion could easily house thirty or forty refugee
families, and she is hardly there. The expansive grounds could house dozens of
refugee families in tents.
Imagine
refugee children who survived the arduous and life-threatening journey from
Central America playing on Pelosi’s lawn while breathing the clean and
invigorating air from off the San Francisco coastline. Imagine alleviating
the humanitarian crisis by creating additional tent cities in Pacific Heights’
splendid parks.
Pelosi, through her holdings in local restaurants
and vineyards, is reputed to be one of the largest
employers of illegal labor in Northern California.
Consequently, the people she would compassionately house might be able to find
work in her network of businesses, especially her fabled
vineyard on the banks of the Napa River.
Pelosi
also owns a second mansion in the Wine Country north of San Francisco. This too
is walled and could hold dozens of refugee families.
Neither
Pelosi herself nor the community of Pacific Heights can solve the refugee
problem, but they could set a standard that other wealthy and pro-sanctuary
communities could easily emulate.
Just
a few miles away from Pacific Heights, my liberal acquaintances “Ann” and
“Christopher” live in a complex that is more difficult to enter than the
Central Intelligence Agency. They both support the sanctuary status of San
Francisco and think the border wall, but not their complex’s barrier, is
immoral. Ann is a big DACA supporter although she has been seen adroitly
ignoring and bypassing the homeless that proliferate in her neighborhood and
sleep on her streets. Her compassion obviously has its limits.
Their
complex boasts extensive patios between the stacks of apartments. These could
host a dozen or more tents and port-a-potties that could alleviate the cagelike
situations at the border that they lament as deplorable. Although these
facilities would constitute an eyesore and block the light and view Ann and
Christopher currently enjoy, creating a tent community for refugees would
demonstrate the concern and compassion that people like Ann and Christopher
love to remind the rest of us that they possess.
Real
compassion in Western Civilization derives from the Biblical sense of the term
and means to share in the suffering and emotions of others. When Jesus saw his
friends weeping at the grave of Lazarus, He wept with them and acted.
Compassion means to suffer with and to be motivated to take immediate action to
alleviate the suffering of others.
So,
let the virtue-signaling liberals in sanctuary cities who incessantly lecture
us on their commitment to taking in everyone, liberals who find the rest of us
insensitive and heartless, let them manifest in deed the compassion they so
relentlessly embrace in word. Let them fulfill the Biblical imperative to
suffer with and take immediate action.
And
they will be rewarded for this in knowing that their upscale white communities
can find new strength in the economic and cultural diversity that the refugees
will provide. I am looking forward to the sprouting of tent cities in Pacific
Heights and elsewhere in the upscale parts of San Francisco. Diversity is truly
a community’s strength.

Conservative Activist Jumps Pelosi's Fence With
Illegal Aliens to Prove a Vital Point
Conservative
activist Laura Loomer, who is known for going undercover with James O'Keefe,
took alleged illegal aliens from Mexico and Guatemala to Speaker Nancy Pelosi's
home in California. There, the group jumped the fence and Loomer demanded the
group be let into the home. The group set up a pop up tent with the word
"morality" on it and hung the pictures of those who were killed by
illegal aliens, The Daily Caller r eported.
Illegals and the American Dream
When talking about
immigration, Democrats like to conflate illegal and legal immigration, dropping
the word “illegal” and spouting meaningless babble about no human being
illegal. They like to preach that illegal immigrants commit crimes at a
lower rate than American citizens, a factoid that has been exposed as a
lie .
The murder of legal immigrant and Newman Police Corporal Ronil Singh on
Christmas night by an illegal alien in the sanctuary state of California shows
not only that the claims by Chuck Schumer and the “bride of Chucky” Nancy
Pelosi that the Democrats support border security is a deadly and bald-faced
lie. It
highlights the difference between legal and illegal immigrants, between those who
love America and want to be Americans and those who murder them.
Ronil Singh came to the
U.S. from his native Fiji to fulfill a lifelong dream of becoming an officer,
joining a small-town police force in California and working to improve his
English. The day after Christmas, he stopped another immigrant, this one in the
country illegally, who shot and killed the corporal, authorities said Thursday…
"This suspect is in
our country illegally. He doesn't belong here. He is a criminal,"
Stanislaus County Sheriff Adam Christianson, whose agency is leading the
investigation, told reporters.
Newman Police Chief Randy
Richardson fought back tears as he described Singh, a 33-year-old with a
newborn son, as an "American patriot."
"He came to America
with one purpose, and that was to serve this country," Richardson said…
"He was living the
American dream," said Stanislaus County Sheriff's Deputy Royjinder Singh,
who is not related to the slain officer but knew him. "He loved camping,
loved hunting, loved fishing, loved his family."
And now he is dead. The
blood of Kate Steinle , Mollie Tibbetts, and
now Ronil Singh and others is on the hands of open border advocates and the
sanctuary city loons who provide no sanctuary for the American citizen victims
of illegal alien criminals.
Even if it were true that
illegal aliens commit crimes, including murder, at rates lower than American
citizens, that would be irrelevant. The murder rate for illegal aliens should
be zero because none of them should be here and the indisputable fact is that
Jamiel Shaw Jr., Kate Steinle, and Mollie Tibbetts would be alive today if the
illegal aliens who slew them were still staring at the other side of a border
wall liberals refuse to build.
One-third of the world’s
nations have border walls or barriers with their neighbors.
Pelosi believes this is
immoral.
Tell that to Israel,
Hungary, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, India, Pakistan, Spain, Greece, Cyprus, Ireland,
etc.
And Nancy Pelosi has a
wall around the backyard at her home in San Francisco.
What is immoral is a policy endorsed by Pelosi and Schumer of
sanctuary cities and even states that allows such criminal aliens in our
country to murder Americans and a Democratic caucus that would abolish I.C.E.
and those who risk their lives daily to provide some semblance of border
security.
What is immoral is politicians such as Oakland Mayor Libby
Schaaf not only refusing to cooperate with I.C.E. but giving illegal aliens a heads-up when
I.C.E. raids are imminent .
In the wake of the Singh
murder, Schaaf still insists that warning illegal aliens about I.C.E. raids was
and is the right thing to do, the lives of American citizens she is sworn to
protect be damned:
Oakland Mayor Libby
Schaaf -- who once warned Northern California residents about an impending ICE
raid -- said she has “no regrets” for her actions and said the federal
immigration agency “has gone astray.”
“I have no regrets, none.
The more time goes by, the more certain I feel that I did the right thing in
standing up for our community and pointing out our values are not aligned with
our laws,” Schaff told BuzzFeed in an interview . “That’s hopefully the
message that is sent out.”
The father of an
8-year-old Guatemalan boy who died in U.S. custody took his son to the border
after hearing rumors that parents and their children would be allowed to
migrate to the United States and escape the poverty in their homeland, the
boy's stepsister told the Associated Press.
Felipe Gomez Alonzo died
Monday at a New Mexico hospital after suffering coughing, vomiting and fever,
authorities said. It was the second such death this month. Another Guatemalan
child, 7-year-old Jakelin Caal, died in U.S. custody on Dec. 8.
The fact is that if we
had a wall, or whatever the hair-splitters want to call it, both these children
would be alive today. And it is American kids are dying too, killed and
murdered by illegal aliens who have no right to be here. Just ask the parents
of Justin Lee, 14, who was killed in a hit-and-run
accident by an illegal alien :
An illegal immigrant has
pleaded guilty to a hit and run that killed a Wixom teen in June.
Miguel Ibarra-Cerda, 22,
entered his plea Thursday, the day his trial was set to begin before Judge
Cheryl Matthews in Oakland County Circuit Court.
Ibarra-Cerda is charged
with failing to stop at the scene of an accident when at fault, resulting in
death, and reckless driving causing death for the collision which killed Justin
Lee, 14. Ibarra-Cerda faces up to 15 years in prison and a $10,000 fine for the
first charge and 15 years in prison and a $2,500-$10,000 fine on the second
charge. Matthews will sentence him Dec. 20.
Police in Connecticut
have arrested an 18-year-old undocumented immigrant from Jamaica on murder
charges related to the shooting death of an innocent 12-year-old boy a week
before Christmas.
Bridgeport Police Chief
Armando Perez on Monday announced the charges against Tajay Chambers stemming
from the December 18 death of Clinton Howell outside his family's home on
Willow Street.
Chambers has been charged
with murder; murder with special circumstances; use of a firearm during the
commission of a felony; illegal possession of a firearm without a permit; risk
of injury to a child; reckless endangerment, and larceny….
CTpost.com reported, citing
police sources, that earlier that evening, Chambers and his alleged
co-conspirators were driving in a stolen car when they got into an argument
with some people walking along Willow Street, among them Howell’s relative.
The wall would in fact
pay for itself, if only in the reduced cost of crimes that would be eliminated,
saving both dollars from overburdened social services and the cost of illegal
alien crimes, particularly the cost in human lives such as that of Ronil Singh,
who is survived by his wife and young son.
His death, the death of a
legal immigrant pursuing the American dream, and countless other American
citizens, including children, is on the hands of Nancy Pelosi and Chuck
Schumer. Perhaps Pelosi can attend Singh’s funeral and explain how his death
and the deaths of others in the absence of a wall is all President Trump’s
fault and that not building the wall is the moral thing to do.

CALIFORNIA and
the RISE OF THE LA RAZA MEXICAN FASCIST WELFARE STATE
"The
costs of illegal immigration are being carefully hidden by Democrats."
"The public schools
indoctrinate their young charges to hate this country and the rule of
law. Illegal aliens continue overwhelming the state, draining
California’s already depleted public services while endangering our lives,
the rule of law, and public safety for all citizens."
"America’s elites,
now overwhelmingly represented by the Democratic Party, have a single overriding
interest: their self-indulgent lifestyle."
Class Conflict within the
Democratic Party
Over
many decades, the American Left, the Democratic Party and their mutual
propaganda arm, the self-styled “mainstream media,” have successfully portrayed
conservatives and the Republican Party as a coalition of the wealthy and
intolerant. Further, the Democrats and the left have claimed that they
are the true champions of the working or middle class as they unceasingly fight
to defeat and marginalize this evil menace.
The
reality, however, is that this cabal has virtually no interest in defending or
aiding the working class as they are, in fact, the party of a bifurcated
constituency: the wealthy and those dependent on the largess of the government.
Of
the fifty wealthiest congressional districts throughout the country, the
Democrats now represent
forty-one . Of the remaining nine represented by
Republicans, three are in Texas, the only red state on the list of fifty
districts. Not coincidentally the residents of these same fifty districts are
supposedly among the most well-educated and sophisticated. This
transformative process is not a recent phenomenon as the trend began in the
1980’s and accelerated rapidly in the early 2000’s.
America’s
elites, now overwhelmingly represented by the Democratic Party, have a single
overriding interest: their self-indulgent lifestyle. This is
manifested in their mistaken belief that conservatives (i.e. the “right”) are
hell bent on enforcing their version of morality on the nation, thus
potentially calling into question the lifestyles of the rich and
solipsistic.
The
veracity of this claim is immaterial as it would require an element of
deliberation not emotion -- a trait in extremely short supply among the
nation’s privileged class, nearly all of whom have difficulty in generating an
original thought due to the ill-education rampant in America’s
universities. Thus, the mindless accusations of racism, misogyny and
Fascism directed at the conservative rubes in middle America are acceptable,
and in far too many instances believed, particularly as many had the temerity
to vote for Donald Trump – who, although wealthy and Ivy League educated, is
considered the ultimate unsophisticated rube.
As
conservatives are the dominant force in the Republican Party and this nation
cannot function politically with more than two major political parties, the
alternative is the Democratic Party. An entity dominated by the American
Left, an assemblage whose core philosophy is antithetical to the interests of
the wealthy and privileged. Yet, determined to protect their lifestyles
and vilify conservatives, they willingly ally with the left and overwhelmingly
support virtually any Democratic candidate. In the recent 2018 mid-terms,
Democratic House candidates outspent their Republican opponents by a two to one
margin thanks primarily to this wealthy but myopic assemblage.
Their
colleagues in the Democratic Party, and the preponderance of the membership,
are those dependent on the largess of the federal and state governments.
On the other hand, the growing segment of the citizenry who are working and
self-sufficient are increasingly joining those who believe in limited
government in migrating to the Republican Party-- a process that is
accelerating with the policies and tactics of Donald Trump in combating the
entrenched left and their determination to culturally and economically
transform the nation. The Republican Party will inevitably become the
party of the working or middle class. As such, they could potentially
dominate the political agenda for the foreseeable future.
The
left and the Democratic Party, in order to offset this possibility, must
aggressively seek to increase the number of dependents by promoting the
legalization and ultimate citizenship for untold millions of illegal immigrants
and promising all Americans cradle to grave economic security. In order
to enact this strategy to defeat the Republicans, the left must have the active
participation and financial support of the nation’s wealthy-- which they
have.
The
Democratic Party has evolved into essentially an incompatible two-tier
class-driven entity encompassing the nation’s wealthiest and the nation’s
poorest. Nonetheless, it is at present a convenient home for the elites
to hold off the imaginary horde of conservatives outside their gilded doors.
However,
the voting numbers within the party are overwhelmingly with those who generally
support the leftist philosophies of redistribution (e.g. socialized medicine
and guaranteed incomes) and curtailing of freedom (e.g. speech, assembly and
religion). While it may not manifest itself to the affluent who have cast
their lot with the Democrats, the redistribution of wealth must, by necessity,
come from the wealthy, as that is where the bulk of the nation’s wealth
resides. It is also this same small-in-numbers group that benefits
the most from freedom of speech and assembly.
Once
fully embroiled in this marriage of convenience, a divorce will be impossible
as the co-inhabitant of the Democratic Party, the dependent class, must
continue grow in order to electorally defeat the Republicans and protect the
left’s agenda. Further, the oversold expectations promulgated by the left
will never be satisfied regardless of how many promises are made or token
redistributive programs are enacted by the current ruling class. Only a
complete transformation of this nation into a failed socialist state will
satiate the left, their acolytes and their attendant army of dependency.
A goal more in reach than ever thanks to the inability of the nation’s elites
to give a damn about the future of the country.
There
is not a more short-sighted and self-absorbed group of citizens in this nation
than the white, wealthy well-educated urban and suburban voters. They are willing to rend the fabric of this nation in order to protect their
privilege and lifestyle. While the vast majority of Americans will
ultimately pay the price, the current ruling class and their progeny will have
far more to lose.

COME TO MEXIFORNIA! HALF
OF LOS ANGELES 15 MILLION ARE
ILLEGALS!
This figure
includes 2.4 million illegal aliens, although a recent study from Yale
University suggests that the true number of aliens is at least double that . Modifying
the initial figure implies that nearly one in three Californians is an
immigrant . This is not to disparage California's immigrant
population, but it is madness to deny that such a large influx of people has
changed California's society and economy.
Importantly,
immigrants vote Democrat by a ratio higher than 2:1, according to a report
from the Center for Immigration
Studies . In California, immigration has increased the pool of likely
Democrat voters by nearly 5 million people, compared to just 2.4 million
additional likely Republican voters. Not only does this almost
guarantee Democratic victories, but it also shifts California's political
midpoint to the left. This means that to remain competitive in
elections, the Republicans must abandon or soften many
conservative positions so as to cater to the center.
California became a Democratic
stronghold not because Californians became socialists, but because
millions of socialists moved there. Immigration turned
California blue, and immigration is ultimately to blame for California's high
poverty level.
It Pays to be Illegal in California
It certainly is a good time to be an illegal alien in California.
Democratic State Sen. Ricardo Lara last week pitched a bill to permit illegal
immigrants to serve on all state and local boards and commissions. This week,
lawmakers unveiled a $1 billion health
care plan that would include spending $250 million to extend health care
coverage to all illegal alien adults.
“Currently, undocumented adults are explicitly and unjustly locked out of
healthcare due to their immigration status. In a matter of weeks, California
legislators will have a decisive opportunity to reverse that cruel and
counterproductive fact,” Assemblyman Joaquin Arambula said in Monday’s Sacramento Bee .
His legislation, Assembly Bill 2965 , would give
as many as 114,000 uninsured illegal aliens access to Medi-Cal programs. A
companion bill has been sponsored by State Sen. Richard Lara.
But that could just be a drop in the bucket. The Democrats’ plan covers
more than 100,000 illegal aliens with annual incomes bless than $25,000,
however an estimated 1.3 million might be eligible based on their earnings.
In addition, it is estimated that 20 percent of those living in
California illegally are uninsured – the $250 million covers just 11 percent.
So, will politicians soon be asking California taxpayers once again to
dip into their pockets to pay for the remaining 9 percent?
Before they ask for more, Democrats have to win the approval of Gov.
Jerry Brown, who cautioned against spending away the state’s surplus when
he introduced his $190
billion budget proposal in January.
Given Brown’s openness to expanding Medi-Cal expansions in recent years,
not to mention his proclivity for blindly supporting any measure benefitting
lawbreaking immigrants, the latest fiscal irresponsibility may win approval.
And if he takes a pass, the two Democrats most
likely to succeed Brown – Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom and former Los Angeles Mayor
Antonio Villaraigosa – favor excessive social
spending and are actively courting illegal immigrant support.
COST to AMERICANS of the LA RAZA MEXICAN
OCCUPATION in CALIFORNIA ALONE: $2,370 per legal.
All that “cheap” labor is staggeringly
expensive!
"Most
Californians, who have seen their taxes increase while public services
deteriorate, already know the impact that mass illegal immigration is having on
their communities, but even they may be shocked when they learn just how much
of a drain illegal immigration has become." FAIR President Dan Stein.
Californians bear an enormous fiscal burden as a result of an illegal
alien population estimated at almost 3 million residents. The annual
expenditure of state and local tax dollars on services for that population is
$25.3 billion. That total amounts to a yearly burden of about $2,370 for a
household headed by a U.S. citizen.
The Gospel According to Nancy: No
Borders, Kill Babies (UNLESS THEY'RE LA RAZA ANCHOR BABIES!)
Tucker Carlson pointed out a few days ago how the
already insufferable leader of the Congressional Democrats has recently been
"ordained….an archbishop in the church of progressive
sanctimony." For a while now, Nancy Pelosi's been the country's
expert on morality (e.g., border wall: immoral; abortion on demand:
moral). She's now taken to telling the country how much she prays,
and she's urging others to do it, too – at least that old sinner, Donald
Trump. After last Thursday's televised squabble in the Oval Office,
Pelosi shared with reporters how she told Trump she was praying for him and urged
the president (whom she also called a " skunk " while
ridiculing his manhood) to accept the Democrats' budget proposal with no
funding for a border wall. "In fact," she said with
stomach-turning piety, "I asked him to pray over it."
When a smug person ends an argument by
telling you to "pray over it," she's really saying, "Ask
God. He knows I'm right!"
Summarizing her and Chuck Schumer's
meeting with Trump, she told the media, "I myself thought we should open
the meeting with a prayer, which I did. I told him about King
Solomon, when he was to become king of the Jews, he prayed to God, he said: 'I
need you to give me great understanding and wisdom, Lord.'"
King Solomon is Pelosi's favorite Bible
character, especially because he proposed solving a problem by cutting a baby
in half.
Now Sister Nancy's praying for Trump to keep
the government open so federal employees can finish their Christmas shopping.
It's an axiom that if a conservative
says his faith informs his political decisions, he'll be condemned for
establishing a state religion, while liberals get to veer back and forth over
the church-state centerline as freely as those motorists who love to text while
driving. Right now the liberal media are applauding the way Pelosi
" schooled President
Donald Trump about the Bible," but it's not clear why. It's not
as if they're suddenly in favor of anyone being schooled in the Bible,
especially anyone in a public classroom .
Pelosi never bats an eye without a
political motive. This Saint Nancy act might be her attempt to
occupy the spiritual high ground that, obviously, Donald Trump has shown no
interest in occupying himself. Pelosi wouldn't dare try this with a
president like George W. Bush, who, while he didn't boast about his piety on
TV, was recognized as genuine in his Christian faith – prompting the left's
usual reaction: Ross Douthat wrote in
2006 that "the fear of theocracy has become a defining panic of the Bush
era."
Theology was less of an issue for
liberals during the Obama years; he was their messiah, and they just worshiped
him. Meantime, Obama conspicuously dissed orthodox Christians with
everything from calculated snubs and criticism to
gratuitously tormenting the Little Sisters of the Poor , all the while
devotedly celebrating the unblemished virtues of Islam . In
2015, Hillary bluntly stated that
"[d]eep-seated ... religious beliefs ... have to be changed" to
accommodate the unlimited abortion license. Then, last year,
Democratic National Committee chairman Tom Perez said it is " not negotiable " that
"[e]very Democrat" support abortion. Pelosi tried to
mitigate Perez's remarks by saying " of course " there's
room for pro-lifers in the Democratic Party, but try to find one who's not
actually voting Perez-style .
This year, Pelosi watched the Democrats
lurch wildly to the extreme left. For decades before that, they were
trusted allies in the left's war on conventional morality and religion (except
Islam!) for being repressive, patriarchal, and
counterrevolutionary. It may be that, alarmed that the Democrat
brand has become too materialistic, amoral, and atheist, she thinks she can
give it religion. Maybe she can draw an unfavorable comparison between
the reprobate and undisciplined Donald Trump and herself: the "ardent,
practicing Catholic," who exhorts the President to beg for "the great
understanding and wisdom" that she (and Chuck Schumer?) have already been
granted by God. Haven't Republicans marched under the banner of
morality and Christian values long enough? Now that they've elected
the unholy Trump, why can't the Democrats seize that banner for themselves?
For one thing, because no evangelical or
conservative Catholic would ever buy it. Sure, the Democratic Party
is crowded with Catholics, but the serious ones left years ago. The
leading unserious Catholic is Pelosi herself, who professes her devotion to the
faith but does it while living in open, willful defiance of the Church's crystal-clear
teaching against abortion: "It is the teaching of the
Catholic Church from the very beginning that the killing of an unborn child is
always intrinsically evil and can never be justified."
When her duplicity threatened to become
an issue in 2004, Pelosi pretended that, moved by her "ardent"
devotion to the Church, she had been studying the Church's teaching on the
beginning of life "a long time," and she stated falsely to Tom Brokaw
on Meet the Press that the Church has never defined it . Asked when human
life begins, she replied, "We don't know," and that "[t]he point
is, that it shouldn't have an impact on the woman's right to choose" – the
"it" being when a human life begins, which shouldn't have an
impact on the decision to get an abortion. Easy mistake to
make when your catechism is Roe v. Wade .
Later, when a reporter mentioned the
Gosnell infanticides and challenged her own support for partial-birth abortion,
an agitated Pelosi snarled back that "[a]s a practicing and respectful
Catholic, this is sacred ground to me when
we talk about this[.] ... This shouldn't have anything to do with
politics." But as a politician, she never stops talking about
it, and the sacred ground she was talking about wasn't human life, but the
exercise of a mother's "free will" to terminate her
child. In response, New York's Cardinal Egan said, "Anyone
who dares to defend that [the
unborn] may be legitimately killed because another human being 'chooses' to do
so or for any other equally ridiculous reason should not be providing
leadership in a civilized democracy worthy of the name." Her
own bishop reluctantly corrected her misstatements in a public letter , necessitated
by "the widespread consternation among Catholics" of her deliberate
distortions of Catholic doctrine. Pope Benedict counseled
her, in person , on the Church's express teaching, "which
enjoins all Catholics, and especially legislators," to protect "human
life at all stages of its development." Pelosi, " the
respectful Catholic" who presumed to tell Trump to pray for wisdom,
emerged from that meeting no wiser
for it, obtusely extolling the "Church's leadership in fighting poverty,
hunger and global warming."
Jesus warned against hypocrites who make
a public display of praying "that they may be seen by
men." The way Pelosi pretends to exemplify
"prayerful" politics, and the way she told Trump "in
private" that she's praying for him – and immediately announced it in a
televised press conference – is pure Pelosi: cynical, addlebrained, phony. If
it might hurt Trump, she'll pontificate how every MS-13 killer retains a " spark of divinity ," then goes right back to
her life's work snuffing out that spark from 60 million innocents and
counting. The Bible never says it's intrinsically evil to build a
wall or protect a border, but it's still got that commandment against
murder.
Let the Democrats canonize this Pharisee
if they need a patron saint. Her feast day can fall on January 22 .

The Schumer & Pelosi show
Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi, the twin
nutters of Congress, were certain they could beat Trump at his own game, but
have made fools of themselves, as usual. The stand-off is not over
but with each passing day, the Democrats reveal more of their anti-American,
pro-illegal immigration agenda. Conservatives have been sounding the
alarm for years: Democrats do not care about American
citizens!
We are an annoying inconvenience,
especially those of us who do not buy what they are selling. We vote
against them, which makes them angry. They lash out at us, call us
names, impugn our intelligence with fervor. All of the late-night
comics, the Bill Mahers of the comedy branch of the entertainment industry, are
especially venal. Jimmy Kimmel has decried those who have
contributed to the GoFundM e page to fund
the border wall as meth addicts. It was begun by a Vet, Brad Kolfage, who lost
three limbs and it's raised nearly $15m.
It appears that Democratic members of
Congress are as snowflakey as millennials on our university campuses. They
assume that anyone who opposes their ridiculous socialist, genderless,
climate-alarmist, virtue-signaling directives is a Neanderthal, unfit to have
an opinion. It is then thoroughly acceptable to malign such people, those
of us who oppose every aspect of their anti-America-as-founded agenda, in
any and every disgusting manner they can devise.
The left is all about identity
politics. They assign all of us to a group -- racial, class, and/or
all of their fabricated gender categories. The right is all about
individuals, their character, their talent, their contributions to
society. We do not care about skin color, economic class or sexual
orientation. We do care about good vs. evil, right vs.
wrong. This makes us quite villainous in the eyes of the left for
whom everything is relative. For example, we do not think poverty causes crime,
unlearned values of Western Civilization do. Try to steal an
election? It is moral if it takes out an opponent. We are, it
appears, the left vs. the right, very different on a neurological level.
Schumer and Pelosi have armed guards
whenever they are amongst the public. But they are both fervent in
their quest to deny us the right to bear arms and to prevent a wall on the
southern border to protect us from the flood of lethal drugs that flow into the
US. They are impervious to the crimes of the barbaric gangs like
MS13, no matter how many innocent Americans they kill. They do not
give a thought to the many illegals from terrorist nations that also seek to
enter the country on a daily basis. Schumer, Pelosi and their
willing subjects in Congress ignore completely the horrific hazards that cross
the border every day. They want cheap labor, no matter how many
Americans are left jobless, and they want, more than anything, a dependent
underclass whom they mean to give the right to vote. They already
vote anyway, thanks to the Left's rejection of Common-sense voter ID.
If there were a television program based
on Schumer and Pelosi, it would have to be a comedy; the two of them are so
inept, so childish. They would be Dumb and Dumber redux. Each
of them seems to believe they run the country and can dictate to the president
how he will govern. They demand that Trump abandon the wall. They
have no intention of compromising; they only want to deny Trump and his
supporters what they want -- border security that works. So enraged,
so benighted, by Trump's presidency, they would rather see us overrun by
migrants from third-world nations, like those who have destroyed the UK,
Germany, Sweden, and the rest of Europe, than protect America as a sovereign
nation.
The "government shutdown" is
just a ploy, many times overused by now, relatively meaningless to the lives of
most Americans. The Schumer & Pelosi show will do everything they can to
hype it as a disaster, but we all know it is nothing of the kind. Trump
must hold out for funding of the wall.
While there have been some bad actors in
our government in the past, Schumer and Pelosi are the worst of the
worst. They are equally arrogant, each thoroughly ignorant of
reality beyond the bubble of wealth and privilege they inhabit. They
both believe themselves to be smarter than the rest of us, when in fact they
are both really dim bulbs, long past their sell-by date. Yes, Pelosi
is good at raising money; how and why is a mystery. That each of them
is repeatedly re-elected does not say much for their constituents'
familiarity with the Constitution, the law, American history or the facts in
their own communities.
San Francisco, Pelosi's district is now
a hell-hole but for her walled compound. New York too,
like California, is a state that residents are fleeing as fast as they
can. Both states have been destroyed by moonbatty leftists; high taxes,
dumbing down of education for political purposes, and the sacrifice of common
sense to global warming alarmists. Schumer and Pelosi have for years
been on board with every silly attempt to restructure, to transform, American
society. They both jumped on the Obama bandwagon the moment he was
elected. Along with Obama, they are responsible for incalculable
damage done to this country over the eight years of that
administration. While their constant appearances on television are
so often humorous (Pelosi's silly, practiced hand gestures and
Schumer's relentless badgering of Trump), they are not one bit
funny. They are just loathsome.
Pelosi's Stake in Illegal Immigration
The Minuteman Project, founded by Jim
Gilchrist (who is also the co-author of the book Minutemen: The Battle to
Secure America’s Borders), is made up of citizen volunteers who watch our
border with Mexico and report illegal entry to the border patrol. For
performing that thankless task in full compliance with the law, Gilchrist and
his colleagues have been falsely maligned as fascists, racists, and even
murderers. They have been driven off the speaker’s platform at Columbia
University and vilified by Leftist politicians and their handmaidens in the
liberal press.
So it was no surprise that the mainstream
media chose to ignore a recent press release, issued by his publisher, in which
Gilchrist asked the question about Nancy Pelosi’s ethics that should be on the
minds of every law-abiding American – including those immigrants who are
following the law to become citizens here the proper way: “Do we really need a
House Speaker whose every action is calculated to enhance her own financial
interests, instead of focusing on how porous borders will affect the security
of everyday American citizens?”
Gilchrist did not stop there. He demanded
an investigation into Pelosi’s “economic stake in just the kind of illegal
alien exploitation that we deplore in Minutemen.” But you would never know it
from the liberal media, who - while ignoring this demand - have had no
compunctions in calling for Speaker Hastert’s head in the wake of the Foley
page controversy.
Gilchrist was reacting to my report
several weeks ago in FrontPage Magazine that Pelosi – who owns non-union
vineyards in Napa Valley where grape-picking depends chiefly on the
availability of cheap foreign labor – is doing everything she can to help open
the floodgates to more illegal immigration. And she wants the American
taxpayers to pay their way. As even more proof of this than I previously
reported, Pelosi does not want employers like her to be required to pay the
cost of illegal aliens’ hospital care. She voted against a bill that would make
employers liable for the reimbursements if an undocumented employee seeks
medical attention. And she voted in favor of rewarding
illegal aliens from Mexico with Social Security benefits.
At the same time, Pelosi has led the
Democratic opposition to any effective border controls or documentation
requirements. She opposed the Secure Fence Act of 2006, signed into law by
President Bush, and voted against final passage of a border security and
enforcement bill in 2005 which required that all businesses must use an
electronic system to check if all new hires have the legal right to work in
this country. She voted against a bill to bar drivers' licenses for illegal
aliens in 2005. This year she opposed legislation requiring presentation of a
legitimate government-issued photo ID to prove eligibility to vote, claiming
that “there is little evidence anywhere in the country of a significant problem
with non-citizen voters.” She is dead wrong. For example, an accused terrorist
by the name of Nuradin Abdi was just recently reported to have illegally
registered to vote at the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles. Nuradin Abdi was
indicted earlier this year as part of a conspiracy to blow up the Columbus
Mall.
How many other terrorist suspects may have
slipped through the system because Leftists like Pelosi oppose any meaningful
screens? Instead she continues to advocate our recognition of the flimsy,
non-validated ID card that the Mexican consulates provide to illegal aliens
before they cross over our border, called the “matricula consular”, which gives
them phony documentation to set up bank accounts, apply for jobs, obtain social
benefits, board airplanes, identify themselves to police, enter buildings that
require IDs, obtain drivers’ licenses and then perhaps use those drivers’
licenses to try to illegally register to vote in our elections.
Pelosi also believes in giving sanctuary
to illegal aliens. She opposed legislation to deny federal homeland security
funding to state and local governments who refuse to share information they
learn about an individual's immigration status with Federal immigration
authorities. Pelosi’s hometown of San Francisco is one of the sanctuary cities
she voted to protect for the benefit of illegal aliens. Pelosi even voted
against strengthening our immigration law with regard to the deportability of
alien terrorists.
Jim Gilchrist cut to the chase with this
devastating observation that the mainstream media does not want you to read:
"As we’ve shown again and again in
‘Minutemen,’ the Democrats aren’t just hypocrites, but are working actively to
subvert our legislative system to their own ends. Their only goal is votes,
votes and more votes, no matter where they come from, no matter if they’re cast
legally, no matter whether the person casting them is dead, alive, a citizen or
an illegal alien."
Pelosi sees Jim Gilchrist’s Minutemen
Project as a threat to her pro-illegal alien agenda. More illegal aliens mean
more votes for the Democrats and more grape-pickers for Napa Valley vineyards
like hers. So she even voted against a measure that would have cut off the use of
U.S. taxpayers’ funds to tip off illegal aliens as to where the Minutemen
citizen patrols may be located! She obviously wants to see the Minutemen put
out of business – permanently. She can count on the liberal press to distort
the work of the Minutemen and to keep out of the public eye Gilchrist’s pointed
questions about her motivations for helping illegal aliens during the run-up to
the mid-term elections that may make her the next Speaker of the House.
Gilchrist, of course, is accustomed to
being vilified and prevented by the Left from getting his message out. In early
October, he was prevented from finishing his speech at the "Minutemen
Forum" sponsored by the Columbia College Republicans. Gilchrist had spoken
for just a few minutes and managed to utter the words “I love the First
Amendment” when a group of radical protestors took the stage and interrupted
him, displaying a big banner saying "There are no illegals." More
protestors then stormed the stage. Chaos erupted and the audience members who
had come to hear Gilchrist speak never got the chance, which was precisely the
protestors’ objective. As reported online by the staff of Columbia’s
undergraduate newspaper, “a mosh pit of triumphal students and community
members danced and chanted outside, "Asian, Black, Brown and White, we
smashed the Minutemen tonight!" They also put out a statement declaring:
“The Minutemen are not a legitimate voice
in the debate on immigration. They are a racist, armed militia who have
declared open hunting season on immigrants, causing countless hate crimes and
over 3000 deaths on the border. Why should exploitative corporations have free
passes between nations, but individual people not? No human being is illegal.”
(Emphasis added)
We have come to the point in this country
where a bunch of radical protestors get to decide who is and who is not a
legitimate voice in the debate on as critical a public policy issue as
immigration. Such Leftists think that migration in a borderless world is a
basic human right. They want no barriers, no guards, and no proof of lawful
residency. They certainly do not want the Minutemen watching the border and
reporting illegal entry to the authorities.
Leftist slogans like “no human being is
illegal” are red herrings. It is not the human being who is illegal; it is what
the human being does that may be illegal. One’s conduct is the test, not simply
who one is. Immigrants who follow our rules are welcome here. Those who do not
abide by our laws have no right to be here. A person who breaks into your house
without your permission does not deserve room, board and a job as a reward,
even if the intruder may be much poorer than you. He has broken the law and
deserves to be punished for what he has done. Our country’s boundaries and
rules for entry and residency similarly define who is permitted to be here and
how we choose to protect ourselves. We are a land of immigrants, but we are
also a land of laws with certain core values. Those seeking to enter our
country and remain here must learn to accommodate to our laws and values, not
the other way around. That is the way prior generations of immigrants did it,
including those who passed through Ellis Island. Why should the law be thrown
aside now?
What we are witnessing is a frontal
challenge to our nation’s sovereignty. Mexico’s Foreign Secretary wants to drag
us before the United Nations for intending to build a fence on our side of the
border with our money to keep out aliens who seek to enter our country
illegally. They will probably get a sympathetic ear as some UN bureaucrats
believe there should be no such thing as “illegal” immigrants in the first
place. For the first time in our history, Americans are being asked to cede the
right to decide how we define ourselves as a nation and protect our own borders
to a globalist governance body. Will Pelosi lead her liberal loyalists as House
Speaker to support the UN against America’s right to control its own borders?
Do we really want to risk finding out?
It is high time, as Jim Gilchrist demanded
in the press release ignored by the mainstream media, that Pelosi come clean
under oath as to her personal stake in the illegal immigration issue before she
can do even more damage as House Speaker.

OK, so President Trump’s “immigration reform plan” is nothing more than a campaign document, a talking point, to impress the likes of the Wall Street Journal (which gave him a big wet kiss of an editorial Saturday) and the Chambers of Commerce.
But as everyone knows, the problem isn’t so much who we are keeping out of the country – educated, English-speaking people with a work ethic – as opposed to the shiftless, lawless hordes we are allowing to swarm across the southern border in untold numbers.
The problem is most of these undocumented Democrats are future recipients of at least one welfare handout, and even worse, they include a sizable contingent of future MS-13 gangbangers, drive-by shooters, identity thieves and fentanyl dealers.
On Thursday, at the White House, the president halfheartedly raised the specter of these marvelously educated foreign college grads being forced to return home. But c’mon, how many MIT and CalTech grads really get the heave-ho?
When he announced for president in 2015, Trump famously said, “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best.”
Now it’s worse, much worse, because it’s not only Mexico flushing its criminal underclass into the U.S., it’s Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala and every other country where they’ve been running TV ads telling their unwed mothers, winos and freelance criminals that all they need to do is tell the gringos that they’re seeking “asylum,” and then it’s off to the welfare free-stuff office.
As the old song goes, “Everything free in America.”
The U.S. Sentencing Commission recently released its 2018 report on federal sentencing statistics: 42.7 percent of offenders were illegal aliens. Sixty-three percent of all non-citizens charged with drug trafficking last year were living in the country illegally.
Look what happened at the Quincy District Court Friday. ICE was staking it out, looking to grab a Dominican heroin/cocaine dealer with a phony Puerto Rican identity. He didn’t show.
On Thursday, in Texas, a “Dallas man,” as the Associated Press described him, was charged with the murders of 11 elderly American women between the ages of 76 and 94, as he stole their jewelry and other valuables. In the third paragraph, the AP copped to the truth – the serial killer was “a Kenyan citizen who was living in the U.S. illegally. ”
Here’s another recent headline: “ICE arrests Salvadoran murder suspect, gang associate in South Dakota.”
Question: Since when is South Dakota a border state? Answer: Since Barack Obama was president, maybe even before then.
As George W. Bush used to say, they’re only doing the jobs Americans won’t do. Jobs that apparently include fentanyl and meth dealing, not to mention dismemberment of their underworld rivals and too many instances of domestic abuse and drunken driving to even recount? In case you missed it, ICE has picked up 141 illegal immigrant drunken drivers in recent weeks, just in New England.
Here’s a recent headline from the Worcester Telegram: “Three men arrested in Millbury in alleged scheme to defraud banks.”
“Three men” – that’s the dead-giveaway phrase. The only remaining question is, in what paragraph will the paper mention the perps’ immigration status?
In this story, the answer was, the 17th: “The detective said the three suspects each had passports from Ghana. She said she was unsure of their citizenship status.”
I’m not unsure at all. Are you?
Next, a few recent press releases from the feds in New England. First, from the eastern district of Massachusetts:
“Dominican National Pleads Guilty to Identity Theft/Defendant stole identity of US Army Specialist … Dominican National Sentenced for Social Security Fraud … Dominican National Pleads Guilty to Social Security Fraud and Identity Theft … Brazilian National Sentenced for ATM Skimming.”
Here are a few from Connecticut:
“Third Nigerian National Admits Role in Business E-Mail Compromise Scheme Targeting CFO’s and Controllers … Mexican National Convicted of Illegal Reentry for a Third Time … Citizen of Peru Charged with Illegally Reentering US.”
That Peruvian illegal immigrant was a drug dealer and warrant defaulter.
Let’s not slight Rhode Island: “15 Individuals Convicted, Sentenced in Heroin and Cocaine Trafficking Conspiracy.”
Unfortunately, the R.I. U.S. Attorney’s Office buried the lede about the drug outfit headed by one Juan Valdez: “Eleven of the ‘Operation Triple Play’ defendants, many of whom had been living in the United States with stolen identities, including the three brothers who led the drug trafficking organizations, have or will face deportation proceedings … Juan Valdez was previously deported from the United States on four occasions.”
Look, I understand, every resort, restaurant and hotel owner in New England needs H2B visa workers to get through the resort season. That’s a problem, granted. But the bigger disaster is this: Illegal immigrant criminals are destroying the United States, and one of the nation’s major political parties think it’s in its interest to continue the “fundamental transformation” of America … into a Third World hellhole.
