Bridenstine: I couldn't get in to see illegal minors at Fort Sill (OK Rep)
NewsOK ^ | July 2, 2014

Rep. Jim Bridenstine, R-Tulsa, said he was denied access Tuesday to the Fort Sill facility housing unaccompanied minors who have illegally crossed the U.S. border.

Bridenstine made a visit to the Health and Human Services Department facility at the U.S. Army post in southwestern Oklahoma and was told he couldn’t enter and should email an HHS official to make an appointment. He was told July 21 would be the earliest date he could visit.

Gov. Mary Fallin and Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Tulsa, visited the facility on June 20.

Bridenstine said, “There is no excuse for denying a federal representative from Oklahoma access to a federal facility in Oklahoma where unaccompanied children are being held.

I watched the Ayers-Kelly dialogue with great interest. Obviously, Ayers and his comrades soon figured out that bombs were less effective (especially P.R.-wise), compared to burrowing into the govt and .edu.

Ayers and his comrades have correctly learned that much more damage could be done to the great evil Amerikkkan Empire (in their eyes)by working from the inside, and every day, pouring poison on the very roots of the USA.

So much more damage than unpopular pin-prick bombs.

They won the “long march through the institutions” and they won. Or have nearly won, pulling off a virtual coup against the Constitution, with .gov and .edu aided and abetted by the fellow travelers in the Mainstream Media, ABCNNBCBS and the WPNYTLAT.

Precisely. Abe agrees. But says the fault is ours. Abe will explain from "the other side."

You initiated a policy to tolerate the Marxist-Alinsky radicals and let them rant; not only has it not ceased but was constantly augmented by decades of infiltration and indoctrination. You now have two Americas. In my opinion, it will not cease until a crisis shall have been reached and passed. A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure, permanently, half statist and half free; I do not expect the house to fall; but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing, or all the other.

It’s time for the citizens and media of OK to mass in front of this facility then storm it with video cameras in hand.

“Bridenstine made a visit to the Health and Human Services Department facility at the U.S. Army post in southwestern Oklahoma and was told he couldn’t enter and should email an HHS official to make an appointment.

Excuse me?!? If I were him I would say “The only appointment I am making is an appointment to subpoena you to appear before a Congressional committee, if you don’t allow me access today.”

That’s because the few “minors” they have in custody need to be shifted around the country for photo ops with the “media”. The ‘RATS prop up “the churldren” right in front of the news cameras like a cardboard box full of puppies or kittens out in front of Walmart. Hell, even Pelosi wanted to take a puppy home with her when she went down to the border last week to do a ‘RAT photo op with “the churldren”. Most of the mob invading the country right now are young adults, gangbangers. Gangstahs!

I’m curious. Can a congressman walk into ANY federal facility and automatically be given access?

That has been my experience.

They don’t usually throw their weight around and make arrangements ahead of time.

BUT!

These flat foots certainly don’t have the authority to restrict him.

Quite the smack-down, Jim. Your title means nothing to totalitarians or their brownshirt minions. Be thankful you left with your life. RESIGN and know that you did your very best.

You should do some research on him before you say something like that.

Really.

I mean, you know how to do research. Why not?

I hope OK has updated and reviewed their quarantine protocols for any infectious, third-world diseases that might mysteriously show up within their borders.

Look, it’s simple. He’s a congressman. From timidity or whatever, he left when some goon said “Boo” to him.

Now he’s had 24 hours to pull up his big boy pants, look in the mirror, see a real member of congress, and go back there with camera crews in tow, and DARE them to bar his path.

He will, or he won’t. And then we’ll know if he’s a man, or a mouse.
