PDJT is the only thing standing between us and the deep state azzbags

Okay.  Yes.  I was disappointed in PDJT opening the government with seemingly no quid.  Upon further review, all that has occurred is a return to status quo ante.  Nothing has been lost.  Further, it makes PDJT look like the reasonable one willing to try anything to move the discussion.  Now the ball is deep in Grand Nan from San Fran Peloser’s court.

My guess is that, given the rabid nature of the far-left, nothing is going to be settled in the next three weeks. When that occurs, PDJT should announce that funding for the border wall will come from money already appropriated and redirected from other government agencies. Among the funds identified should be revocation and redirection of any foreign aid to any county contributing to the border chaos. 

Barry The Empty Suit paid off the Iranians with billions in unappropriated funds.  PDJT should be able to redirect this small amount of money for security of the American people. 

The left will howl and get a nation-wide court injunction within 30 seconds.  At that point PDJT should ask the Supreme Court for an expedited hearing. The Supremes are likely to refuse.  Then PDJT could take one of two tacks.  He could pull an Andy Jackson and tell the 9^th Circus, “Okay, now enforce your foolishness,” or he can declare an emergency.

The emergency rout would result in another immediate court challenge and appeal to the Supremes.  Declaring an emergency might force the Supremes’ hand.  It doesn’t guarantee a fair outcome.  Johnny Roberts is as wild a card as every other joker in the deck.

Worst case is that PDJT tries everything under the sun to get the wall he promised and is cut short by Dopes, Rat establishment Republicans and unelected activist judges.  That lines him up to run on the immigration issue again in 2020.

What I am absolutely unwilling to do is pull an Ann Coulter, Stewart Varney et al and dump on PDJT.  Ride the Trump tiger.  The only thing standing between us and a predawn raid on our homes by deep state FBI f*cks is PDJT. 

There’s nothing else.  So Ann and Stew can be purists and call for dumping PDJT, but there is nothing else.  NOTHING!  What? Marco Rubio? Mitch McConnell? Kevin McCarthy?  They’d sell us out in a heartbeat if they thought they could get 20 minutes of positive coverage on CNN.  

I’m riding the tiger.  There is no alternative.        

Today’s JG rant
Re: Marlin Culy’s letter, “Berlin stark reminder of walls’ true purpose” of Jan 27, 2019.

Hey Marlin, let me tell you what the Berlin Wall is a “stark reminder” of:  It’s a reminder of the unqualified failure of socialism and its big brother with a gun – communism - everywhere in the history of man that it has been tried. 

Idiot leftists (rapidly approaching a set of the whole these days) are so obtuse that they’ve become unable to distinguish between a prison wall designed to keep people in and locking the front door of your home, designed to keep people out.

What seems a tossup to me about Culy’s letter is this: Is Culy really so ill informed as to actually believe the Berlin Wall was constructed to keep fascists out, or does he think JG readers are stupid enough to believe such farfetched, demonstrably false and laughable nonsense?

Culy’s letter proves how difficult it is going to be to reach an agreement on border security.  It would seem that leftists either truly have no sense of history concerning the function of the Berlin Wall (Sadly, given the state of public education that is quite possible.), or they are proudly willing to feign a colossal ignorance on the subject for the purpose denying PDJT funds for border security – funds they have previously voted in favor of time and again. 

Culy’s letter, long on personal invectives directed at PDJT and short on logic and understanding of history, proves that leftists probably object to PDJT a whole lot more than they object to a border barrier.

  

Berlin stark reminder of walls' true purpose

On Oct. 12, 1960, Soviet Premier Nikita Krushchev threw a temper tantrum at the United Nations in New York City. He pounded on the table with his shoe.

Ten months later, on Aug. 13, 1961, this tyrant began construction of the Berlin Wall. This wall, portrayed as protecting the population from fascist elements in the west, divided the German city in half.

The United States countered, increasing our military presence in Europe considerably. I was part of this buildup, spending 26 months in Germany maintaining and repairing helicopters and  helping secure the West Germany border – not our border. Our local Air National Guard was deployed to France for 12 months, disrupting many lives.

Now we have our own tyrant who rants, raves and belittles others, pouting when he doesn't get his way.

He hasn't pounded on the table yet, but he alone has shut down our government, blaming it on the Congress we elected to prevent a self-appointed supreme leader from taking complete control of our country.

He so desperately wants a wall on our southern border that he is willing to destroy millions of lives to get one. Any wall that gets built will only succeed in dividing our country more, which is what our enemies want.

We have laws that can solve our immigration problems if we just demand our judicial system use them as written. One such law allows for the expedited removal of those guilty of illegal entry and for overstayed visas. We have a Constitution that needs to be strictly followed or amended as allowed by law, not bypassed by executive order or toyed with by Congress.

Lest we forget, the Berlin Wall stood for fewer than 30 years but is remembered as an evil eyesore that cost many lives.

I am sure that the shutdown of our government and any wall we might build will only be remembered in history for the damage it is doing and has already done to our great nation.

God bless the USA and save us from ourselves.
