It’s Starting – I Told You It Would!
Chuck Schumer Backs Reparations Commission: Racism Is âin the American Bonesâ
By Joshua Caplan
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) announced his support Tuesday for establishing a commission to study reparations proposals for black descendants of African slaves.
âRacism is the poison in America, itâs in the American bones, unfortunately,â Schumer said as voiced support for H.R 40, a bill championed by Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) that would create a commission to study the issue of reparations. âThe legacy of slavery and Jim Crow is still with us,â added Schumer.
The debate over reparations catapulted from the campaign trail to Congress last month when lawmakers heard testimony for and against the idea of providing compensation for slavery. On June 19th, the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties held a hearing on Jackson Leeâs bill. The panel invited 2020 White House hopeful Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), Hollywood actor and left-wing activist Danny Glover, author Ta-Nehisi Coates, and others to discuss the measure re-introduced in January.
Booker, who testified first before the panel, said the country has âyet to truly acknowledge and grapple with the racism and white supremacy that tainted this countryâs founding and continues to cause persistent and deep racial disparities and inequality.â
âThe stain of slavery was not just inked in bloodshed, but in policies that have disadvantaged African Americans for generations,â the lawmaker added.
Earlier this year, Booker introduced a version of Jackson Leeâs measure to the Senate.
Following Booker was Glover, who called establishing a national policy on reparations a âmoral, democratic, and economic imperative.â
âDespite much progress over the last centuries, this hearing is yet another important step in the long and heroic struggle of African-Americans to cure the damages inflicted by enslavement, post-emancipation and forced racial exclusionary policies,â Glover told lawmakers
The hearing came amid a growing discussion in the Democrat Party about reparations. Several of the partyâs presidential candidates have endorsed looking at the idea.
In a Point Taken-Marist poll conducted in 2016, 68 percent of Americans said the country should not pay cash reparations to African American descendants of slaves to make up for the harm caused by slavery and racial discrimination. About 8 in 10 white Americans said they were opposed to reparations, while about 6 in 10 black Americans said they were in favor.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has said that he opposes reparations, telling reporters: âI donât want reparations for something that happened 150 years ago. Weâve tried to deal with the original sin of slavery by passing civil rights legislation.â
âIt would be hard to figure out who to compensateâ for slavery, the Kentucky Republican noted. âNo one currently alive was responsible for that.â
Last week, McConnell said his familyâs history of slave ownership doesnât change his opposition to reparations.
The Kentucky Republican noted that he and former President Barack Obama have opposed reparations, and âboth are the descendants of slave owners.â

AMERICANS RALLY BEHIND TRUMP AS HE TELLS AMERICA HATERS THEY âCANâT LEAVE FAST ENOUGHâ
POTUS calls out Democrats for trying to turn America into sh**hole
By David Knight

President Trump sent a message to Democrats Sunday, calling out âProgressiveâ Congresswomen who came from failing countries only to tell America how to run its government.
PEW RESEARCH: AVERAGE ILLEGAL ALIEN LIVED IN AMERICA FOR 15 YEARS
Of the roughly 11 to 22 million illegal aliens living in the U.S., the average illegal alien has lived in the country for 15 years â imposing an enormous financial burden on American taxpayers
By John Binder
The average illegal alien in the United States has lived in the country for 15 years, a new analysis finds.
The latest research by Pew Research Center reveals that, of the roughly 11 to 22 million illegal aliens living in the U.S., the average illegal alien has lived in the country for 15 years â imposing an enormous financial burden on American taxpayers.
In 2000, the average illegal alien lived in the U.S. for about 7.2 years. Today, the average time that an illegal alien lives in the country has more than doubled just two decades later.
âIn 2017, only 20% of unauthorized immigrant adults lived in the U.S. for five years or less, down from 30% a decade earlier,â Pew analysts write. âAbout two-thirds of unauthorized immigrants have been in the U.S. for more than 10 years; a decade earlier, less than half had.â
In the U.S. workforce, there are at least 7.6 million illegal aliens holding American jobs that would have otherwise gone to American citizens and legal immigrants. This is more than double the number of illegal aliens who were in the U.S. workforce in 1995 when just 3.6 million held American jobs.
The research uncovers the level to which the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is overburdened with being tasked with deporting all 11 to 22 million illegal aliens â a job that is severely limited due to their lack of resources.
As Breitbart News reported, the cost of illegal aliens to American taxpayers over a lifetime is about $746.3 billion. Compare this to the cost of a single deportation, which is about $10,854 per illegal alien based on Fiscal Year 2016 totals.
Overall, deporting every illegal alien in the country would amount to a cost savings of about $622 billion over the course of a lifetime. This indicates that deporting illegal aliens is six times less costly than what it costs American taxpayers to currently subsidize the millions of illegal aliens living in the U.S.
The Trump administration has attempted to conduct mass deportations and ICE raids over the last month, though much of the operations have been allegedly plagued by leaks out of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), sources tell Breitbart News, that put ICE agents at risk and tip off illegal aliens and sanctuary cities.
Cruz: DNA Testing Shows Kids Are Being Used As âPawnsâ By Traffickers
By Patrick Howley
Texas Republican senator Ted Cruzâs recent Senate floor speech addressed the success President Trump has had in catching human traffickers with his âRapid DNA testingâ program. Implemented by the Department of Homeland Security as a pilot program at select locations, the DNA testing â which involves a cheek swab and roughly 90 minutes of testing time â is already catching human traffickers and making some smugglers admit their wrongdoing before even taking the test.
âI also learned of a recent pilot program that used rapid DNA tests to discover whether these family units were real. Nearly 30 percent were found to be fraudulent in the Rio Grande Valley-in other words, the adults bringing kids into the United States illegally werenât related to the children,â Cruz stated.
âThis is one of the most tragic elements of the crisis: the number of children who are being trafficked, who are being physically abused, sexually abused, and neglected. Often, they are being used as pawns,â Cruz said.
Former Republican Arizona governor Jan Brewer also said that President Donald Trumpâs program is catching human traffickers and âfraudsters.â
Opponents of the program include CNN and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
If Trump was supposedly separating families as the Left claims, why fight a test to ensure parenthood so that these âfamiliesâ can stay together?
Former Republican Arizona governor Jan Brewer said that President Donald Trumpâs program â so far tested as a pilot â to test the DNA of adult migrants who bring children to the southern border is already catching human traffickers and âfraudsters.â
The Department of Homeland Security has rolled out a âpilotâ program at a few select locations on the border that involves cheek-swabbing the migrants who come over the border and analyzing the results in the space of about an hour and a half.
Opponents of the program include CNN and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
If Trump was supposedly separating families as the Left claims, why fight a test to ensure parenthood so that these âfamiliesâ can stay together?

WATCH: Matt Gaetz Exposes Democratic Party Leadership for Laughing at Border Crisis
The freshman Congressman repeatedly played a clip showing the hypocrisy of the Democrats.
By Shane Trejo
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) took Congressional Democrats to task over their lies regarding the national emergency at the U.S. southern border, which they have allowed to worsen in order to blame the crisis on President Donald Trump.
Gaetz played a clip on a loop of House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-SC) laughing off the notion of a humanitarian crisis at the border while being asked about it in an interview from January before the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday.
Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-PA) issued a point of order suggesting Gaetz repeating the âout of contextâ clip was inappropriate. She was informed by the parliamentarian that he was not out of order.
âI just think thatâs quite something when youâre fed back your own words from your own leadership from earlier this year, you think thatâs out of context and inappropriate and not allowed,â Gaetz said referring to the clip.
âAgain, we didnât raise the issue. It was the gentlelady from Texas that said these allegations from Republicans that we were in denial, theyâre offensive, weâve always known of the crisis, and the Democratic whip laughed,â Gaetz continued.
Clyburn was not the only Congressional Democratic leader who denied the reality of the crisis at the U.S. southern border. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) did so as well.
âMost presidents have used Oval Office addresses for noble purposes,â Schumer said in January. âThis president just used the backdrop of the Oval Office to manufacture a crisis, stoke fear, and divert attention from the turmoil in his administration.â
Sen. Elizabeth âPocahontasâ Warren (D-MA) denied the order crisis as well while it was unfolding, only to virtue-signal and blame Trump when it became politically convenient for her to do so.
So Elizabeth Warren says she went to the border in June 2018 and saw a humanitarian crisis, but then in March 2019… twitter.com/i/web/status/1⊗
(@neontaster) June 26, 2019
Gaetz made note that the Trump administration has been sounding the alarm bells the entire time.
âYou know who doesnât think itâs funny? The Trump administration, because [Acting United States Secretary of Homeland Security] Secretary [Kevin] McAleenan has been ringing the warning bell for months about the crisis. He begged you all to take action more quickly,â Gaetz said.
âIt should be very clear from these numbers that we âre facing alarming trends and a rising volume of people illegally crossing our southwest border, or arriving at our ports of entry without documents,â McAleenan said back in March. âThe system is well beyond capacity and remains at the breaking point.â
Democrats have ignored the warnings from the Trump administration, instead choosing to play politics with the issue of border security with U.S. communities and migrant children suffering mightily as a result.
âOne of the reasons why so many young people, so many vulnerable people are in tragic conditions is because we didnât act when the administration wanted us to provide funding that was absolutely necessary to care for people,â Gaetz explained.
âIt wasnât the Republicans that were in denial. It was all of you, and it was in your own words from your own leadership. Be offended with the Democratic whip, not the House Republicans,â Gaetz concluded.

Book: Paul Ryan Opens Up About Contempt for Trump Couldnât Stand 2 More Years with POTUS⊠Retirement Was âEscape Hatchâ! âŠFox Board Member White Knights for âHorse Faceâ Stormy!
By Joshua Caplan
An upcoming book reveals former House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) has returned to attacking President Donald Trumpâs character, taking particular offense to his dismissive nickname for pornographic actress Stormy Daniels.
Politico Magazineâs Tim Alberta writes in American Carnage: On the Front Lines of the Republican Civil War and the Rise of President Trump that Ryan âNow out of office and trading in his power suits for a blue vestâ is once again criticizing the president and âsaw retirement as the âescape hatch,’â according to an excerpt obtained by the Washington Post.
âWeâve gotten so numbed by it all,â Ryan said. âNot in government, but where we live our lives, we have a responsibility to try and rebuild. Donât call a woman a âhorse face.â Donât cheat on your wife. Donât cheat on anything. Be a good person. Set a good example.â
President Trump ridiculed Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, in October 2018 after a federal judge dismissed her defamation lawsuit against him, tweeting: âGreat, now I can go after Horseface and her 3rd rate lawyer in the Great State of Texas.â In January 2018, a Wall Street Journal report alleged that Daniels, prior to the 2016 presidential election, was paid $130,000 to sign a nondisclosure agreement regarding an affair with the president in 2006.
The book details how Ryan was frustrated with the presidentâs approach to governing.
âI told myself I gotta have a relationship with this guy to help him get his mind right,â the former speaker recounted. âBecause, Iâm telling you, he didnât know anything about government⊠I wanted to scold him all the time.â
âThose of us around him really helped to stop him from making bad decisions. All the time,â he continued. âWe helped him make much better decisions, which were contrary to kind of what his knee-jerk reaction was. Now I think heâs making some of these knee-jerk reactions.â
President Trump, according to the book, is largely dismissive of Ryanâs attacks, often referring to him as a âfucking Boy Scout.â
Ryan retired from the House in January after serving three years as the chamberâs speaker. Under his watch, Republicans lost a House majority in the 2018 midterm election. Since leaving Congress, he joined Fox Corp. as a member of its board of directors.
Itâs no secret that President Trump and Ryan shared an uneasy relationship. In an interview with the Daily Caller, the president blamed the Wisconsin Republican for failing secure funding from Congress to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
âWell, I was going to veto the omnibus bill and Paul told me in the strongest of language, âPlease donât do that, weâll get you the wall.â And I said, âI hope you mean that, because I donât like this bill,ââ the president told the outlet.
âPaul told me in the strongest of terms that, âPlease sign this and if you sign this we will get you that wall.â Which is desperately needed by our country. Humanitarian crisis, trafficking, drugs, you know, everything â people, criminals, gangs, so, you know, we need the wall,â he added. âAnd then he went lame duck.â
In October 2016, Breitbart News published audio in which Ryan pledged not to defend then-Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump following the release of the Access Hollywood tape. âHis comments are not anywhere in keeping with our partyâs principles and values,â Ryan is heard telling Republican lawmakers during a conference call. âThere are basically two things that I want to make really clear, as for myself as your Speaker. I am not going to defend Donald Trumpânot now, not in the future. As you probably heard, I disinvited him from my first congressional district GOP event this weekendâa thing I do every year.â
Of course, President Trump went on to defeat his Democrat rival Hillary Clinton despite Ryanâs desertion.
Obama Tweets Selfie Wearing U.S. Women’s Soccer Team Jersey, Calls Them âAmerica’s Best Teamâ
By Hank Berrien
On Wednesday, former president Barack Obama, eager to signify his support for the U.S. national womenâs soccer team, some of whose members have expressed open hostility for President Trump and disrespect for the American flag, proudly tweeted a selfie showing him with a custom jersey of the team with his name emblazoned on it while calling the team, âAmericaâs best team.â Obama wrote, âProud to rep Americaâs best team! Congrats @USWNT and thanks for being such a strong inspiration for women and girlsâand everybodyâall across the country.â
On Sunday, Obama had celebrated the team, tweeting, âYes! Fourth star. Back to back. Congrats to the record breakers on the @USWNT, an incredible team thatâs always pushing themselvesâand the rest of usâto be even better. Love this team. #OneNationOneTeam.â
Last week, after teammate Megan Rapinoe had said she would not visit the White House, Alex Morgan of the U.S. womenâs soccer team seemed to indicate that even if the team got an invitation from President Trump, they might not visit the White House, saying, âI think we will make that decision after we finish Sundayâs game. I think there has been a lot of talk prematurely about the White House and about Trump but first we have to do business and then I think you guys know the answer to the question anyways.â Morgan added that it was unlikely some members might go and some might not, asserting, âI canât say 100 percent but this team is very close and we have always made decisions together so I canât really see us deciding to part in that way but at the same time if someone feels strongly then who are we to tell them to do or not do something.â
On Tuesday night, Rapinoe stated that the team would not go to the White House, telling Anderson Cooper of CNN, âI would not go and every teammate that Iâve talked to explicitly about it would not go.â She added, âI donât think anyone on the team has any interest in lending the platform weâve worked so hard to build and the things that we fight for and the way that we live our lives â I donât think we want that to be co-opted or corrupted by this administration. There are so many other people that I would rather talk to and have meaningful conversations that could really affect change in Washington than go to the White House.â
Rapinoe also stated to reporters, âWeâve said publicly â at least Iâve said publicly, I think most of the team, if not everybody, I think everybody is with me. We donât want to go to the White House. So I figure thatâs why the invitation hasnât come.â
GOAL reported in June, âIn 2017 it emerged that German club Darmstadt 84 were the only European club Obama followed on Twitter, sparking a frenzy of speculation as to why that was the case. armstadt, who now play in 2. Bundesliga, are not exactly powerhouses of European football, so the fact that USMNT player Terrence Boyd played for them (he has since moved on) was held up as one potential reason.â
