More than 7-in-10 households headed by immigrants in the state
of California are on taxpayer-funded welfare, a new study reveals.
The
latest Census Bureau data analyzed by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) finds that about
72 percent of households headed by noncitizens and immigrants use one or more
forms of taxpayer-funded welfare programs in California — the number one
immigrant-receiving state in the U.S. JOHN BINDER

Two groups of
Central American migrants made separate marches on the U.S. Consulate in
Tijuana Tuesday, demanding that they be processed through the asylum system
more quickly and in greater numbers, that deportations be halted and that President Trump either let them

Who would have ever thought the United States could lose its way and find itself on a slippery slope to becoming a banana republic in which political power is typically determined by coups rather than elections? But it appears that many in the Democrat Party are willing to go down this road and risk the nation’s continuity and stability in a desperate effort to regain power and control.
Since there is simply no greater crime against the United States, its Constitution and its people than subverting the government that is duly elected by the people, Americans need to clearly remind Washington that the legitimacy of our government comes exclusively from the people.
Think about it… why should Democrats in Congress be ignoring their legislative responsibilities, and wasting their time and the nation’s scarce resources with impeachment proceedings less than a year away from the next presidential election on November 3, 2020? And why would Democrats think impeachment a wise course to follow, particularly after putting the country through nearly two years of the Mueller investigation -- which proved to be a hoax?
What many are now realizing is that Democrat Party leadership has lost its bearings by surrendering control to the extreme left -- an amalgam of pro-Islamic and Marxist views as represented by the so-called “squad.” The impeachment effort is not just an attack against Donald Trump; it’s also meant to dishearten and disenfranchise nearly half the country who voted for him.
The American Republic established by the Constitution provided for a more stable system of government based on honoring the results of scheduled elections than the parliamentary form of democracy, where politics and a no-confidence vote could bring a government down and require a new one to be formed on an unscheduled basis. Relative political stability and continuity of the American Republic has been the chief contributing factor to the nation’s civility, as well as its meteoric economic rise over the last 240 years.
Alexander Hamilton, in The Federalist No. 65, warns that impeachment hearings are highly divisive and bring a quandary to Congress of whether it helps the nation to remove the people’s choice in a president. Thus, the cause for impeachment must be a clearly recognizable high crime that mobilizes action across party lines starting in the House of Representatives, with the trial and outcome determined by a supermajority of 66 in the Senate.
Initial testimony from Chairman Adam Schiff’s lead witnesses suggest that the charges against President Trump’s actions and involvement with Ukraine matters are more based on hearsay and political differences than any high crime. Moreover, referral of a Trump impeachment to the Republican-controlled Senate will simply be dead on arrival. So why proceed?
Impeachment hearings are a show driven by desperation -- a “hail Mary” pass to smear Trump and generate smoke such that people won’t be able to see and understand what’s going on. And by creating continuous smoke around Donald Trump, they hope that the average voter will conclude that there must be fire that needs to be doused by voting him out of office in November 2020.
The Democrats’ trivialization of impeachment runs totally contrary to what the framers of the Constitution intended. They specifically required a Senate supermajority because it made impeachment rare and strengthened the central role of elections in which the government’s sole legitimacy came from the people. It was elections that were to be the sole mechanism for the peaceful transition of power, and not coups and impeachments from party passion and partisanship.
What will happen to the United States if there is no corrective to the hyperpartisan coup-impeachment path that has been unfolding from day 1 after President Trump’s election in November 2016? The fact is that we have seen an unprecedented abuse of power by Democrats even while they have been in the minority, such as what was exhibited in the Senate’s Supreme Court justice confirmation hearings of candidate Judge Brett Kavanaugh.
The Democrat Party has become more intolerant as it has become more radical, even embracing and encouraging mob action against political opponents. Much of the Constitution’s Bill of Rights has become irrelevant. In many instances, due process and the presumption of innocence has been turned on its head. Gone is free speech on most university campuses. And the bulk of the legacy press in America has become an arm of the Democratic Party and has ceased reporting news. Social media, where the majority of Americans under 50 now get their news, has also followed suit -- censoring individuals and views that challenge the politically correct narrative.
Much of this has happened when the Democrats have been the minority party. Why would Americans want to give more power to a party that embraces this kind of abuse, including the ways of banana republics?

Opinion: Trump’s
emoluments transgressions don’t stop with the Doral fiasco
By NORMAN J. ORNSTEIN
When the
White House announced that Donald Trump would host the 2020 Group of Seven
meeting at his Doral golf resort in Florida — an in-your-face bit of self-dealing and a blatant violation of the Constitution’s foreign
emoluments clause — Republicans and Democrats howled. Reporters had only just
begun to tally the ways awarding himself a government contract could enrich
Trump and the Trump Organization when the president backed down, but not before
he publicly decried the “phony” emoluments clause.
The Doral
reversal dimmed the spotlight on emoluments, but that should not lead us to
drop the focus on the rest of Trump’s self-dealing and conflicts of interest.
For strategic reasons, the House of Representatives may not include emoluments
transgressions among potential impeachment charges. Nonetheless, the number of
Trump’s violations are staggering, and growing by the day.
There are two
separate emoluments sections in the Constitution; neither are phony, and both reflect the deep concern the Framers
had about possible corruption in the highest offices in the land.
“Emoluments”
are anything of value. The first constitutional clause, forbidding any officer
of the United States from taking “any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of
any kind whatever” from a foreign government, is in Article I. It has no
loopholes; the Framers feared that a rich foreign government could influence or
sway American policy by giving something of value to a policy-maker. It is not
limited to the president or vice president, but to all holding an office of
trust in the U.S. government.
The second
emoluments clause is in Article II and is limited to the president. It reads,
“The President shall, at stated Times, receive for his Services, a Compensation,
which shall neither be increased nor diminished during the Period for which he
shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that Period any other
Emolument from the United States, or any of them.” Here, the fear was
that Congress could shake down the president by withholding his salary or bribe
him by increasing it, and that a president could use the leverage of his office
with states or the federal government to enrich himself.
We have never
had occasion in our history to be deeply concerned about violations of these
constitutional clauses. Most previous presidents have scrupulously adhered to
them in spirit and letter. Jimmy Carter, to pick one example, put his peanut
farm in a blind trust to avoid any appearance of conflict or attempt to profit
via his office.
Trump, whose
chief of staff on Sunday said the president still thought of himself as an
innkeeper, has kept ownership of all his properties and has lied about not
participating in their operations. He pushed officials at the General Services
Administration to allow him to keep his federal lease for his Washington hotel
while pressuring the District of Columbia to lower his property taxes. Trump’s
daughter, Ivanka, holding an office in his administration, has taken valuable
trademarks, including, staggeringly, one on voting machines, from China.
Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, holding an office of trust in the
administration, has promoted Trump and Kushner properties and solicited loans
from foreign governments.
In other
words, the president is unique in his corruption in American history. The watchdog group Citizens
for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington has regularly compiled a tally of
Trump’s conflicts of interest and violations of the emoluments clauses. The
latest numbers are stark: 1,493 trips to Trump properties by government
officials, usually spending taxpayer money that will enrich the president; 292
promotions of Trump properties by White House officials; 63 foreign trademarks
awarded to Trump brands, mostly from China and Brazil, while he has been
president.
The president
himself had made 387 trips to his properties, 240 of them to play golf. He
regularly does semi-official infomercials for his properties, and he’s told
couples considering staging a wedding reception at Mar-a-Lago in Florida or the
Trump country club in Bedminster, N.H., that, if they do, he might be available
for a photo op. He famously doubled the initiation fee at Mar-a-Lago, to $200,000, when he became president,
enabling foreign figures (and others) to gain entrée to the president for a
price his businesses collect.
The message
has been received: Foreign governments, including Romania, Kuwait and Saudi
Arabia, moved events from other venues to Trump properties, and foreign
countries or other foreign-connected entities have held 13 events at his
properties, surely enriching him along the way. (He claims profits from
foreigners are repaid to the Treasury; without his tax records, this can’t be
checked). One hundred and twenty-one foreign officials from 71 foreign
governments have visited his properties; lobbyists of all stripes have
scheduled events there. Trump has openly talked about his ventures in places
like Saudi Arabia and Turkey even as he has bent American foreign policy in
ways that benefit those countries’ autocrats.
The president
likes to pretend that there is no such thing as a conflict of interest, that
his actions are ”perfect” and “innocent.” But we should not let his lies
obscure what are ongoing, direct and outrageous abuses of the Constitution for
financial gain by the president and his cronies. The House impeachment hearings
are concentrating on other abuses of power, but there is no doubt our Framers
would see the emoluments violations as a long series of impeachable and
unconscionable offenses.

Trump: New York AG ‘Deliberately
Mischaracterizing’ $2 Million Settlement ‘For Political Purposes’
Share
President Donald Trump accused New York Attorney General Letitia James of
“deliberately mischaracterizing” the details of a $2 million settlement reached
on Thursday.
New York Judge Saliann Scarpulla ruled that Trump must pay $2 million as part of a settlement he, the Trump Foundation, and James’s
office reached in a lawsuit alleging Trump misused his charitable foundation
during the 2016 campaign.
Scarpulla said
Trump let his campaign hold a foundation fundraiser in January 2016 and used it
“to further Mr. Trump’s political campaign.”
The foundation
received $2.8 million from the fundraiser and the money “did ultimately reach
their intended destinations, i.e., charitable organizations supporting
veterans,” Scarpulla ruled.
Instead of
the entire $2.8 million that James’s office pushed for, Scarpulla ordered
Trump to pay $2 million. She also declined a statutory penalty of $5.2 million
that James’s office wanted the president to pay.
James
celebrated the ruling on Wednesday.
“We’ve secured
a court order forcing President Trump to pay $2M in damages after admitting to
illegally using the Trump Foundation to help him intervene in the 2016
presidential election and further his own political interests. No one is above
the law,” she said in a statement.
In another
statement, she wrote, “The court’s decision, together with the settlements we
negotiated, are a major victory in our efforts to protect charitable assets and
hold accountable those who would abuse charities for personal gain. My office
will continue to fight for accountability because no one is above the law—not a
businessman, not a candidate for office, and not even the President of the
United States.”
Scarborough then launched
into his own conspiracy theory:
But I think we all will be absolutely fascinated when we finally
figure out what Vladimir Putin has on Donald Trump and why Donald Trump has surrendered the Middle East,
helped ISIS, helped Iran, helped Russia, helped Turkey, helped all of our
enemies and betrayed all of our allies. You know, a lot of people think that it’s – he has
compromising pictures or something happened in a hotel in Russia years ago. No.
It goes back to money. It’s always about money.

Eric Trump on paying contractors: We pay ‘people when they do
great jobs’
The Trump
Organization has been criticized for stiffing contractors. Contractors have
filed hundreds of
complaints, which date back to the 1980s, alleging that the real estate company
did not pay them.
“We
believe in paying people when they do great jobs. And we get people paid
incredibly quickly. And we pay contractors,” said Eric Trump, executive vice
president of The Trump Organization at Yahoo Finance’s All Market
Summit, adding that the organization only refuses to pay contractors
who fail to complete a job.
“Yeah,
well, they [the unpaid contractors] didn't finish a job. And they didn't do a
good job. And they flaked out. And they were two months behind schedule. And so
you had to let go of them. And you had to bring somebody else in to do the job
that they otherwise would have. And it's called the real world,” he said,
referring to the allegations. “People like to take cheap shots at us.”

During the

President Donald Trump said something very similar. “Maybe he didn’t do a good

accusations.
Eric Trump
also noted to Yahoo Finance that The Trump Organization has developed
institutional knowledge about getting the best deals with contractors. “In New
York, we know what contractors are going to be incredible, what contractors are
going to — I won't use a word, but — take advantage of you,” he said. “And, you

Morning Joe: Trump Is ‘Owned by Putin,’ Head of ‘Criminal
Organization’
Listen to
the Article!
Following a discussion of President
Trump’s decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria, on Thursday, MSNBC’s Morning
Joe went far beyond standard criticism of the controversial foreign
policy move and wildly claimed it was proof that Trump was “owned by Putin” and
heading up a “criminal organization” that had been “laundering money” for the
Russian autocrat for decades.
As the 6:00 a.m. ET hour segment
about Syria was wrapping up and co-host Mika Brzezinski was starting to go to a
commercial break, left-wing pundit Donny Deutsch interrupted to squeeze in an
unfounded conspiratorial rant in which he accused the President of multiple
crimes: “Let’s not forget it. This is all about failed casinos. He is
owned by Putin because he’s been laundering money, Russian money for the last
20, 30 years. He’s owned by him. That’s what this is.”
Brzezinski voiced her agreement with
irresponsible and unsubstantiated attack: “Oh, my lord....Yeah.”
Deutsch continued his tirade
unchallenged:
You talk to any banker in New York,
any business person in New York, any real estate person in New York, we
have a president that’s selling out our military, that’s costing lives because
he is owned by our geopolitical enemy because he’s been laundering money for
him as a criminal organization for the last 30 years. That will come out in
time.
Co-host Joe Scarborough seemed to offer
a small dose of sanity in response: “That is – that is speculation and only
speculation right now.” However, he quickly added: “I will say that it is
speculation among New York bankers who have loaned Donald Trump money in the
past and who have been following his business career for 30, 40 years.”
Brzezinski chimed in: “Who know a lot.”
Scarborough then launched into his
own conspiracy theory:
But I think we all will be absolutely
fascinated when we finally figure out what Vladimir Putin has on Donald Trump and why Donald Trump has
surrendered the Middle East, helped ISIS, helped Iran, helped Russia, helped
Turkey, helped all of our enemies and betrayed all of our allies. You
know, a lot of people think that it’s – he has compromising pictures or something
happened in a hotel in Russia years ago. No. It goes back to money. It’s always
about money.
He concluded the unhinged discussion
by asserting: “And this president is selling not only America, but its
most important allies, down the river for money he wants to make either while
in office or when he leaves office, period, end of story.”
It’s never enough for the liberal
media to simply express a policy disagreement with Trump and say that the U.S.
abandoning its Kurdish allies in northern Syria would have a negative outcome.
Instead, journalists and pundits must always try to outdo each other to make
the most outrageous declarations imaginable to prove their bona fides as
members of the resistance.
Here is a full transcript of the
October 24 exchange:
6:48 AM ET
DONNY DEUTSCH: Make no mistake,
because it’s easy to forget. Let’s not forget it. This is all about failed
casinos. He is owned by Putin...
