When Biden took office, one of his first acts was the elimination of our border security. Like a power-hungry dictator, Biden simply decided to ignore our immigration laws. His catastrophic border policy resulted in untold millions of unidentified foreign citizens from around the world pouring into our country. Its impact is now being felt in cities across the country. The worst is yet to come. PETER LEMISKA - AND WE'RE ALREADY THERE!!!

Josh Hawley Introduces Resolution to Dismiss Pelosi’s ‘Bogus Impeachment’ Trial

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) introduced a resolution Monday to dismiss the impeachment trial against President Donald Trump, which features robust Senate Republican support.
Sen. Hawley introduced a resolution to update the Senate rules to allow a motion to dismiss articles of impeachment for lack of prosecution. The bill features strong support across the Senate Republican conference, including Sens. Rick Scott (R-FL), Mike Braun (R-IN), Marsha Blackburn (R-IN), Ted Cruz (R-TX), Steve Daines (R-MT), John Barrasso (R-WY), Tom Cotton (R-AR), Joni Ernst (R-IA), David Perdue (R-GA), and Jim Inhofe (R-OK).
The Missouri conservative said that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has stalled on sending the articles of impeachment to the Senate after a bipartisan group of lawmakers opposed impeachment in the House and the American people have soured on it.
Sen. Hawley said in a statement Monday:
Speaker Pelosi started this bogus impeachment by claiming President Trump was an urgent “threat to democracy” who had to be removed now. But after a bipartisan vote against the articles in the House, and with the public opposed to the Democrats’ partisan games, Pelosi has changed her tune. Now she wants to prevent a Senate trial, perhaps indefinitely. But the Constitution gives the Senate sole power to adjudicate articles of impeachment, not the House. If Speaker Pelosi is afraid to try her case, the articles should be dismissed for failure to prosecute and Congress should get back to doing the people’s business.
The Senate has adopted 26 rules that govern impeachment proceedings, known as the “Rules of Procedure and Practice in the Senate Sitting on Impeachment Trials.” The current Senate rules presume that the articles of impeachment would immediately be sent to Congress’s upper chamber if the House votes on impeachment. For instance, during the Bill Clinton impeachment proceedings, the articles were sent to the Senate the same day that the House voted to impeach Clinton.
After the House approved both articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, Pelosi has delayed sending the articles to Senate, believing that Congress’s upper chamber would not hold a fair trial of the president. However, Pelosi’s decision to postpone a Senate impeachment trial infringes on the Senate’s constitutional prerogative to conduct a trial.
Sen. Hawley’s resolution would allow the Senate to address this current standoff between Pelosi and the Senate by allowing a majority of senators to dismiss the articles of impeachment for lack of prosecution. The House of Representatives would have up to 25 calendar days to transmit the articles to the Senate.
The Missouri Republican’s proposal quickly gained steam from grassroots conservatives such as the Club for Growth and the Tea Party Patriots.
“If Nancy Pelosi doesn’t want to send the articles to the Senate, we should dismiss the articles of impeachment and get back to work on all the things that aren’t getting done, like securing the border, passing No Budget, No Pay and lowering the cost of prescription drugs,” Sen. Scott said in a statement.
Sen. Braun said in a statement:
Nearly three weeks ago, Nancy Pelosi and her liberal cohorts voted to impeach President Trump, but rather than fulfill their constitutional duty and send the articles of impeachment to the Senate they’ve opted to play more partisan games. In the real world, it’s put up or shut up, which is why I’m introducing a mandate that forces Speaker Pelosi to deliver the articles of impeachment within 25 days. If Pelosi doesn’t think her case is strong enough to deliver within that timeframe then the Senate should be allowed to dismiss the case so we can get back to real problems like lowering the price of prescription drugs and passing USMCA.”
Sen. Ernst remarked:
Iowans are fed up with this political exercise that’s slowing us down from getting important things done, like passing the USMCA — a trade deal that will create over 175,000 jobs across this country. Speaker Pelosi and House Democrats have been trying to impeach President Trump since day one, and now after voting on the articles, she’s stalling. Why? Because she knows she made a mistake. Iowans aren’t going to put up with this. Speaker Pelosi and her squad need to send over the articles so that we can get back to the people’s business. This resolution sets an important timetable that will allow us to do just that.”
According to Cruz:
Since the start of the impeachment process, Speaker Pelosi and House Democrats have made a mockery of our Constitution and abused impeachment for political gain. Now, they’re undermining the role of the Senate by attempting to dictate the terms of the Senate’s trial. Under our Constitution, the Senate has the sole authority to try impeachment. It is the Senate’s duty to take up these articles without delay, and to resolve them in a timely and constitutionally appropriate manner.”
Sen. Daines said:
It’s time to put up or shut up, and stand up to Nancy Pelosi. House Democrats have been obsessed with impeaching President Trump before he was even sworn into office. First, they rushed through a rigged process, now they have cold feet. Enough with the political games. It’s time to get back to work for Montana and the American people.
Sen. Cotton said, “By failing to deliver the articles of impeachment, the Democrats are admitting they bumbled their partisan impeachment. If the articles aren’t delivered in a timely manner, they should be dismissed.”

Klein: Nancy Pelosi Celebrated Killing of Gaddafi, Slams Trump for Eliminating Soleimani

6:21
JERUSALEM — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi slammed President Trump’s decision to target arch Iranian terrorist Qassem Soleimani as “provocative and disproportionate” and announced the House will soon vote on a resolution to limit Trump’s war powers.
Rewind nine years. On October 20, 2011, an excited Pelosi released a statement celebrating the death of Libya’s Moammar Gaddafi during the Obama administration’s U.S.-led NATO operation targeting Gaddafi’s government. Back then, Pelosi did not seek legislation to limit Obama’s war powers during the seven month Libya conflict even though there was no imminent threat against America in that country at the time.
Unlike Soleimani, who was reportedly plotting an immediate attack on Americans, there was no information that Gaddafi was directly threatening the U.S. at the time of his death. Gaddafi was an extremist with anti-American views who was involved in terrorist bombings in the 1980s but he was not considered an immediate danger to America when he was killed in 2011 during the so-called Arab Spring.
There is no information the U.S. was directly involved in death of Gaddafi, but the strongman was killed as a result of the U.S.-led NATO invasion in Libya.
Pelosi hailed the killing just after news broke of Gaddafi’s October 2011 death.
She released the following statement on her Congressional website:
Today’s news marks the next phase of Libya’s march toward democracy. After decades of tyrannical rule in Libya, the world is hopeful that the next generation of Libyan leaders will bring their country out of this dark chapter. The strong action taken by the United States, led by President Obama, and NATO, the United Nations and the Arab League proves the power of the world community working together.
Pelosi further supported the Obama White House’s military actions in Libya but also called for continued consultation between the president and Congress on the matter. The Democrats largely backed Obama on Libya.
This even though Obama bypassed Congress to commit the U.S. to NATO’s seven month operation in Libya aimed at regime change without any pressing national security justification.
As a result of the U.S.-led NATO intervention, Libya was left in tatters with an instable government and a witch’s brew of rebels competing for cantons of territory in the country. Libya became a failed state and many analysts say that helped lead to the spread of the Islamic State.
As this reporter documented at the time, the U.S.-NATO campaign resulted in the largest terrorist looting of Man-Portable-Air-Defense-Systems, or MANPADS, with those weapons reportedly being proliferated around the Middle East.
Gaddafi had hoarded Africa’s biggest-known reserve of MANPADS, with a stock said to number between 15,000 and 20,000. Many of the missiles were stolen by militias fighting in Libya, including those backed by the U.S. in their anti-Gaddafi efforts. There were reports of a Western effort to secure the MANPADS, including collecting some from rebels in Libya.
Let’s contrast Pelosi’s celebration of Gaddafi’s death and her support for Obama’s extended military campaign in Libya to the House Speaker’s furious response to Trump’s decision to eliminate Soleimani.
The U.S. took out Soleimani after Iran-backed militias crossed all red lines with last week’s organized assault on the U.S. embassy in Iraq. Failing to swiftly and strongly respond would have signaled that Iran could get away with future attacks on America.
Unlike the Libya war, where there was no immediate threat, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo explained Soleimani was terminated to disrupt an “imminent attack” he was planning that would have endangered the lives of Americans.
“He was actively plotting in the region to take actions – a big action as he described it — that would have put dozens if not hundreds of American lives at risk. We know it was imminent,” Pompeo told CNN.
“These were threats that were located in the region,” Pompeo added. “Last night was the time that we needed to strike to make sure that this imminent attack … was disrupted.”
Soleimani was responsible for plotting deadly attacks on Americans. He commanded the al-Quds force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, where he oversaw a vast terrorist apparatus for Iran — the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism. He essentially controlled Hezbollah and supervised the expansion of Hamas, Islamic Jihad and jihadist militias in Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, the Gaza Strip and West Bank. This reporter referred to Soleimani as the “Osama bin Laden of the Shiite world.”
Instead of hailing Soleimani’s death a watershed moment for the war on terror, Pelosi characterized the elimination of Soleimani thusly: “Last week, the Trump administration conducted a provocative and disproportionate military airstrike targeting high-level Iranian military officials.”
“This action endangered our service members, diplomats and others by risking a serious escalation of tensions with Iran,” she wrote while ignoring Pompeo’s remarks that Soleimani was plotting imminent attacks on Americans.
While essentially giving Obama cart blanch to launch a seven month war in Libya, Pelosi wont give Trump more than 30 days for actions targeting Iran, perhaps the most dangerous threat to the free world.
Pelosi explained her House resolution: “It reasserts Congress’s long-established oversight responsibilities by mandating that if no further Congressional action is taken, the Administration’s military hostilities with regard to Iran cease within 30 days.”
What a far cry from the war hungry Pelosi of 2011. “The United States has and will continue to work with the Libyan people to achieve their aspirations for freedom, a democratic government and the rule of law,” Pelosi said in her October 2011 statement supporting further U.S. action in Libya.

Nolte: Media Hate Trump So Much, They Glorify Terrorist Qasem Soleimani
The American political media is a truly evil institution capable of anything, including the glorification of Iranian Gen. Qasem Soleimani, a terrorist animal responsible for hundreds of American deaths.
The thing about the American media is that once you realize how evil, and I mean truly evil, the institution is, nothing surprises you anymore.
Look at what the media did in Ferguson and Baltimore: used lies to launch race riots in predominantly black neighborhoods, in working class neighborhoods. You have to be evil to do such a thing, to destroy other people’s communities. There’s no other word for it.
What’s more, look at how CNN repeatedly promotes the idea of assassinating the President of the United States and encourages violence against Trump supporters.
Anyway, every sane person knows there is no moral difference between Soleimani and Osama bin Liden. Both men were unrepentant terrorists and tyrants willing to use torture, the murder of innocents, and international terror in a bid for cold, raw power. If that’s not enough of a comparison for you, Soleimani had gone so far as to plot terrorist attacks on American soil and undoubtedly helped at least ten of the 9/11 hijackers to find their way to America.
And yet, the evil American media would have you believe President Trump just assassinated a statesman.
You know, when bin Laden was killed in 2011, I despised and disliked then-President Obama as much as I do now, but I was still thrilled. I also gave Obama credit for making the call, which was a tough call, which could have easily gone sideways to a point where his re-election chances could have died in the sand just like Jimmy Carter’s did when he authorized a doomed mission to rescue 52 American hostages held in Iran.
How do you not celebrate the death of a monster like bin Laden? The American media certainly did. They praised Obama for making the call and managed to avoid terms like “revered scholar” and “religious leader” while describing bin Laden. There were also no concerns about “escalation” or “illegal assassinations” or “World War III” or “reinstituting the draft” or any of the tired but predictable hysterics we’ve been hearing all week.
Honestly, how many Americans must a terrorist kill before the media take just a moment to say, “Good job, Mr. President.”
And you know what? Trump is doing a good job with Iran. Sure, Iran is a tough and complicated situation filled with only bad choices, but we can’t have a terrorist country killing American contractors and openly attacking our embassies without retaliation. We just can’t. At the same time, no one wants to launch what would almost certainly be another endless ground war. Given the situation, Trump made a good choice. He took out not just a monster, but a monster who was effective (like bin Laden) at attracting followers and wreaking murderous havoc throughout the region.
Strategically and symbolically, Soleimani was the perfect choice. If nothing else, every big shot in Iran is currently wondering if they are next, which could deescalate this situation out of self-interest.
But an evil media just can’t look at things this way. The number of eggs necessary to break to produce an anti-Trump omelet is of no consequence to the media, even if we are talking about hundreds of American eggs. The media are so deranged and vile, so unhinged and furious, any opportunity to express their hatred for Trump is an opportunity that cannot be passed up, which is why we get lunacy like this…
Washington Post: “Airstrike at Baghdad airport kills Iran’s most revered military leader, Qasem Soleimani.”
And that sentence wasn’t in a longer piece detailing Soleimani’s crimes against humanity. Nope, it was how the far-left Post described this war criminal in its tweet breaking the news.
CNN: “Imagine the French Foreign Legion, at the height of the French empire. This guy is regarded in Iran as a completely heroic figure.”
“I was trying to think of somebody, and I was thinking of [Charles] de Gaulle.”
“He is regarded as personally incredibly brave. The troops love him.”
New Yorker: “a flamboyant former construction worker and bodybuilder with snowy white hair, a dapper beard, and arching salt-and-pepper eyebrows”
New York Times: “Many saw him as a larger-than-life hero, particularly within security circles. Anecdotes about his asceticism and quiet charisma joined to create an image of a warrior-philosopher who became the backbone of a nation’s defense against a host of enemies.”
Keep in mind that these same news outlets have never once described our own president in this way.
Think about that.
When it comes to a wicked, cold-blooded murderer, terrorist, and tyrant, all of a sudden the media are concerned with context, with how he is seen by his supporters, which is the excuse to justify all this flowery language. But Trump, our own president, has never received the benefit of this “context.”
If the above does not convince you of just how unhinged the media are, get a load of this…
Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, wept openly at the funeral for Gen. Qassem Soleimani. His tears give insight into how the death of the commander killed in a U.S. strike is being felt personally by the supreme leader. http://apne.ws/UPiORs3
An emotional Khamenei shows Iran general's death is personal
That’s not journalism. It’s trolling. CNN is trolling the president while he’s in the middle of an incredibly dangerous and potentially explosive situation.
And then there’s the hysteria. Trump doesn’t have a plan! Trump doesn’t know what he’s doing!
We’ve been hearing this shit for four years now…
Trump didn’t have a plan to win the Republican nomination. Then he won it.
Trump didn’t have a plan to win the presidency. Then he won it.
Trump didn’t have a plan to jumpstart the economy, to replace NAFTA, to get the Chinese to agree to a trade deal, to solve the border crisis between Syria and Turkey, to build the border wall, to bring back manufacturing jobs, to make American energy independent, and on and on and on and on…
And yet he did and does have a plan. But still, no matter what he does: bomb Syria for using chemical weapons, move the American embassy to Syria, withdraw our troops from Syria, it’s…
WORLD WAR III!
RECKLESS!
SHOOTING FROM THE HIP!
THE DRAFT’S GOING TO BE REINSTATED!!!
TARIFFS WILL DOOM US!!!
A RECESSION IS IMMINENT!!!
And yet, here we are enjoying the first real era of peace and prosperity in nearly 20 years, since September 11, 2001.
You know what?
Trump has turned out to be a very good president, and nothing frustrates the evil media more than that, and it’s that frustration that drives them to side with and glorify a terrorist.

Nancy Pelosi to Introduce Resolution Implying Pre-emptive Surrender to Iran
Win McNamee / Getty
1:41
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) wrote a letter to her Democrat colleagues in the House on Sunday to reveal a new “War Powers Resolution” that amounts to a pre-emptive surrender to Iran in ongoing hostilities.
Pelosi’s letter begins with the declaration that President Donald Trump’s airstrike last week targeting Iranian General Qasem Suleimani, leader of the terrorist Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IGRC) Quds Force, responsible for the murders of hundreds of Americans and for recent attacks on the U.S. embassy in Baghdad, was “provocative and disproportionate,” terms suggesting the attack was illegal under international law and could constitute a war crime.
Harvard Law School professor emeritus (and Democrat) Alan Dershowitz argued in Monday’s Wall Street Journal that the strike was not only lawful, but an “easy call”: “The president has the constitutional authority to take military actions, short of declaring war, that he and his advisers deem necessary to protect American citizens. This authority is extremely broad, especially when the actions must, by their nature, be kept secret from the intended target.”
Nonetheless, Pelosi’s letter indicates that the House will declare the president’s action illegal under international law.
The letter further claims that Trump’s action “endangered our servicemembers, diplomats and others by risking a serious escalation of tensions with Iran” — placing the responsibility for violence not on Iran, which recently attacked a U.S. Navy drone; a Saudi oil field; and, via proxies, Americans soldiers and civilians in Iraq; but on the United States, which had restrained itself until the recent assault by an Iranian-backed militia on the embassy.
The letter goes on to describe a new resolution that would “limit the President’s military actions regarding Iran,” essentially signaling a surrender in the potential conflict before the Iranian regime itself had managed to respond.
Pelosi adds that the resolution “reasserts Congress’s long-established oversight responsibilities by mandating that if no further Congressional action is taken, the Administration’s military hostilities with regard to Iran cease within 30 days.” Under current law, the War Powers Act of 1973 limits the time that a president can lead a military effort, without formal authorization, to 60 days following a required presidential report to Congress when hostilities begin.
The new resolution, which Pelosi says mirrors a similar Senate bill by Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA), would amount to an effective surrender by signaling that the president had no congressional support for striking back against Iran, and imposing a new deadline for any military action that would give Iran greater freedom of action. Paradoxically, the resolution could force the president to choose more drastic measures of conducting a war effort before the deadline.
By declaring the attack “provocative and disproportionate,” the resolution also invites international prosecution of the president, as well as members of the administration and the military itself, who carry out his orders. The U.S. does not recognize the authority of the International Criminal Court (ICC) to prosecute Americans for war crimes, but the ICC takes a different view, and a future Democratic administration might well side with the ICC instead.
Pelosi’s letter indicates that the new “War Powers Resolution” will be introduced and voted on this week. She has not yet indicated when she will transfer the articles of impeachment passed by the House on Dec. 18 to the Senate, which she claims is a necessary prerequisite to the Senate holding a trial on the president’s removal from office.
