“Yanking the plane” was a great move. It should’ve come with “Since the dems were planning to leave town for a week, it’s obvious they have no intention of solving the budget impasse” And at that point issued the EO.

I am hoping to be wrong.
But all my comments are sadly accurate .
The Trump WH did kicked all the Conservative Anti amnesty groups from the WH about a year and half ago .
And Javanka are still flying in the Thousands of Syrian muzzies and dumping them in our towns .
Both items posted here .

Thousands of DC bureaucrats are also on the table- their shelf life as a protected class expires in the near future. Wonder of POTUS will bring that up.

How many people in this thread need to be talked off the ledge?

Meaning, this thread *is* this week's (today's) Torah reading.

Today is also:

Shabbat of Song

This week's Torah reading contains the "song at the sea" sung by the Children of Israel upon their deliverance from the Egyptians, when the Red Sea split to allow them to pass and then drowned their pursuers. Hence this Shabbat is designated as Shabbat Shirah, "Shabbat of song."

Ex 14

10. And when Pharaoh drew near, the people of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were very afraid; and the people of Israel cried out to the Lord:
11. And they said to Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? why have you dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt:
12. Is not this the word that we did tell you in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness:
13. And Moses said to the people, Do not fear, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will show to you today; for the Egyptians whom you have seen today, you shall never see them again:
14. The Lord shall fight for you, and you shall hold your peace:

It's National Popcorn Day! Which is especially funny because a tradition for this Sabbath is to toss out food for the birds the evening ahead. Sunflower seeds or the usual songbird mixes might only come to mind, but whole corn kernels are a popular feed for turkeys. 50 lb. bags. We have a few.

"Gobble gobble."

"A midrash tells us that two trouble-makers, Dathan and Aviram, put out manna Friday evening so that the people would discover it on the morning of Shabbat and Moses and God would be discredited. But the birds gobbled up all the manna before the people awoke, preserving the miracle of the double portion of manna on Friday and its absence on Shabbat and, thus, confirming the leadership of Moses."

Folks need to calm down and realize what's actually happening in real time, where America is in the Bible and therefore Bible prophecy. Don't ask those guys who are cluelessly scratching their heads while peddling useless books that provide nothing but profits for their bank accounts.

5. It lights a fire under the Rats because the last thing they want is to reduce the number of union workers paying dues to Rat re-election campaigns.

national emergency?
 
 
"At what point shall we expect the approach of danger?
By what means shall we fortify against it?
Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow?
Never!
All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years.
At what point, then, is the approach of danger to be expected?
I answer, if it ever reach us it must spring up amongst us.
It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher.
As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide."
 
~Abraham Lincoln, Address Before the Young Men's Lyceum of Springfield, Illinois (January 27, 1838)

You know, my Dad used to tell me that over and over when I was a kid; I didn’t know he was paraphrasing Lincoln then. But I’m worried now, because “it must spring up amongst us” and it seems it already has. . .

I’ve learned most people really don’t care unless it happens to them. I’ve learned that the hard way. It’s quite the rude awakening.

It makes me sick to my stomach but you maybe right.

Everyday the daca illegals stay, the more anchor babies they pop out. It’s essentially amnesty.

Then again, PDJT may not be in control of anything(my suspicions for quite sometime now)

I think Florida has flipped already, DACA Amnesty or no DACA Amnesty.

In the 2018 midterm, 64% of Florida voters agreed to restore voting rights to 1 million former felons.

The former felons are overwhelmingly Black and Hispanic.

In 2016, Trump won Florida by just over 100,000 votes.

Re: “BTW the unemployment rate for IT professionals is 2.0% for people with at least a bachelor’s degree according to the BLS.”

It’s important to clarify that number.

That’s 2% of those who are actually searching for IT employment.

Approximately one third of native born Americans who have an IT degree are no longer working in the IT sector.

Re: “Wage growth in the IT sector has been stellar in the last decade...”

That is true for certain IT specialty areas, but in general, the pay for most American IT jobs has barely kept up with inflation since 1999 - which was the first year that the H-1B floodgates opened.

President Trump should offer to not start a bribery investigation of those who refuse to enact $5.7B to build the wall.

It smells like they are taking money to not fund the construction.
