On Friday afternoon, within minutes of President Trump ending the shutdown, the left declared victory.
Dancing up and down on his perceived “grave” the fund raising requests were e-blasted to supporters promising that the day’s events insured already assumed doom for a President they hate.
Don’t tell them... but the opposite is now on its way.
To see leftwing activists so eagerly cheer the defeat (even temporarily) of some of the most broad-based (and in many instances—Democrat initiated) objectives as it pertains to common sense border security was disheartening.
Why Congressional and Senate Democrats would refuse the opportunity to take partial credit of creating an orderly border process is mystifying. Especially so when 78%-90% of Americans seek tougher border measures. Most of whom also believe that a border barrier is a key component to the multi-lateral security strategy.
Directing people to the end of the fence, to the “point of entry” is rational—not immoral—as Speaker Pelosi asserts.
She asserts as much because of the sinister forces stirring the Democrat base at present.
The hard left has such hooks into the party’s base that they have literally forced leadership to completely abandon policy that they supported under President Obama.
Remember in 2013 Senator Schumer got the entire Democrat caucus to vote in lock step approval for a $40 billion border security package that included upwards of $8 billion in building additional miles of barriers.
So what’s changed?
Donald Trump became President.
I don’t say that in some sort of predictable defense-of-partisan-position reaction.
In fact it has very little to do with Donald Trump being a Republican.
It’s about something much more specific — Donald J. Trump — to be hyper specific.
The progressive wing of the Democrat party believed Barack Obama would remake the landscape of American politics. Though he tried, she remains a center-right nation.
Obama tried to do his part. As Charlie Kirk pointed out this weekend: “He picked his successor, weaponized the FBI, DOJ, & IRS against his opponents. Controlled 90% of the media. Had double the ad budget. Colluded with foreign powers against the challenger. Yet they lost to a billionaire they claimed was beneath them.”
But that was only the beginning.
Once he was sworn in he deregulated largely progressive and politically motivated regulations on small businesses. He rewrote the tax code. We saw manufacturing and production come pouring back into the country. Lowest unemployment and highest labor participation in history.
These reforms armed and continue to empower more individuals to have more personal economic options than they had known in the stagnant “recovery” the previous administration oversaw.
When a party has a tight leash on the purse strings they are able to bully the masses into subjection on issues of conscience. Trump not only broke that chokehold he also simultaneously completely shifted the direction of the federal judiciary for a generation or more. Working quite closely with Majority Leader McConnell, Trump has nominated and has seen confirmed nearly as many judges in federal, appellate, and Supreme Court(s) in two years as the previous administration did in eight.
The left understands this, they were unprepared and are now fighting hard and dirty. Their precious vision of peacenik socialism, coupled with an ample servings of sexual anarchy, religious bigotry, and self superiority is once again slipping through their fingers.

oops,
But he has calculated the risks and knows that though he may lose here and there (and may lose big from time to time), he can win the game in the end.
Is he absolutely certain? Of course not.
No one is absolutely certain about anything.
But he knows the fix our country is in and he knows that, if he plays it safe, we run a greater risk of losing everything (the Dems are playing for keeps after all).
Are the Democrats scared of Trump?
Take a look at their faces. Do they look confident?
They know that Trump is playing for keeps too. And he plans to win.
Actually, yes it does.
Actually, yes it does.
The entire article is printed twice.
The entire article is printed twice.
Then just WHERE is that money today?
Get it and use it.
Well, I think that you don’t win by losing, and this was probably a loss. “No wall” might come back to bite him in the next election. However, Pres Trump is such a master negotiator that I’ll say that “the jury is still out”. We’ll see.
We’re still much, much better off than we would have been with a Hillary! Presidency. I’ll take one step back, so long as we keep running ten steps forward as well.
Fret not, or worry.
This duplicitous repetition has been reported to the
Department of Redundancy Department.
Don’t tweak your monitor. Those actually are two huge and mobile hemorrhoids.
Yeah, I was in and endless loop.
He hasn’t me but you should have read the posts on here last week.
Thanks a little elbow grease.
Ugh. Anyone can see that it repeats itself
Trump is a winner and these people are power mongers. They project that onto him
But just because he has money it doesn’t mean he is power mad or even greedy or corrupt
He doesn’t play their game. He is in this to win for us they are in it to take for them. Hell corner them I predict
The problem for the Demonrats is that they keep ultimately coming out on the losing end of these “victories”.
Yep. If people believed the media, Hillary would’ve won a landslide. They said she had a 9-point lead in Utah, hahaha!!!! They’ve only made their situation worse since election day.
Interesting picture, there’s a vampire stalking Pelosi.
It’s been pointed out many times that the GOP sat on their.....hands when they had both Houses and POTUS.
Of course the Dems realize that if he has to go the way of declaring a National Emergency, DACA etc is off the table.
///////////////////////
Do they care? No.
Once the emergency is declared a 5 ft 5 inch tall judge in Hawaii or Oregon will clamp it down with a judicial ruling. Then while weeks or months of legal wrangling show Trump was within his right, the Dems and TV MSM will have 24 hour a day psychologist interviews about how Trump is now crazy and Dems are now right to ask to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove him by the cabinet getting him out of the White House.
And we know “February” is when Mueller’s report will blacken Trump’s name so much that impeachment will be a relief—they promise.
If they go too far I am afraid we will be able to read the report by the flickering orange light of burning major cities in the distance.
But why should they be "Panicked" according to this article? I don't see anything new.
