Government Open… …And Border No Wall Still No SOTU!

By Charlie Spiering

President Donald Trump announced Friday a plan to end the partial government shutdown, by temporarily caving to Democrat demands to reopen the government.

Trump agreed to reopen the government for three weeks while negotiations continued — with no apparent wall funding concessions from Democrats.

The president warned that if Congress could not successfully negotiate a deal including wall funding in three weeks, he would be forced to announce a State of Emergency, which would allow him to shift funds to build border structures without Congress.

“If we don’t get a fair deal from Congress, the government either shuts down on February 15th again or I will use the powers afforded to me under the laws and the Constitution of the United States to address this emergency,” he said.

He argued that he had heard from enough Democrats during the shutdown who were willing to support border security including physical barriers as part of the solution, allowing him to reopen the government temporarily.

“Many disagree, but I really feel that working with Democrats and Republicans, we can make a truly great and secure deal happen for everyone,” he said.

The president announced a bipartisan congressional committee to review border patrol requests for security and asked them to come up with a compromise deal.

“They will put together a homeland security package for me to shortly sign into law,” Trump said. He urged both parties to work together to solve the problems at the border. He defended the idea of a wall or a physical barrier as part of the negotiations.

“Walls should not be controversial,” Trump said.

The president delivered his remarks in the Rose Garden at the White House. Vice President Mike Pence together with several members of Trump’s cabinet attended the speech including Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Other White House staff including senior adviser Jared Kushner watched the speech. They clapped as Trump announced his decision.

Trump announced his decision as Federal workers face a second missed paycheck as the government shutdown enters its 35th day.

The president thanked federal workers who suffered financial difficulties as a result of the shutdown, vowing that they would receive back pay.

“You are very, very special people. I am so proud that you are citizens of our country,” he said. “When I say ‘Make America Great Again,’ it could never be done without you.”

Trump made his announcement after Congress reached an impasse on a bill to reopen the government. Both Senate measures failed to meet the necessary 60-vote threshold needed to move a bill forward. Speaker Nancy Pelosi refused to compromise with Trump on any wall funding, demanding unconditionally that the government be reopened first.

The White House finally caved to Democrats demands, despite Trump’s repeated assertions this week that he would not do so.

YET ANOTHER LEFT-WING COUPLE VISITS DANGEROUS COUNTRY TO SPREAD LOVE, DISAPPEARS

Yet Another Left-Wing Couple Visits Dangerous Country to Spread Love, Disappears

Tragedy of cultural relativism strikes again

 | Infowars.com – JANUARY 10, 2019

Yet another left-wing couple visited a dangerous foreign country to spread love and engage in utopian activism before promptly disappearing in another tragic case of cultural relativism.

Canadian Edith Blais and her Italian boyfriend Luca Tacchetto were traveling in the West African country of Burkina Faso when all communications with their families abruptly ceased on December 15. It is thought that their pair were kidnapped, although their whereabouts remain unknown.

The couple traveled through Burkina Faso despite a Canadian government travel advisory warning to “avoid all unnecessary travel” in the country. They were also on their way to the capital of Ouagadougou despite six Canadians being killed in a 2016 attack in the city when Islamic jihadists stormed a hotel.

“Canada’s travel advisory for Burkina Faso is about as explicit as you can make these things,” said Gar Pardy, a former director-general of consular affairs who also served as ambassador to multiple countries. “It’s a very troubled country.”

The couple had also arrived in Burkina Faso from Mali, despite the Canadian government warning to “avoid all travel” to Mali due to the severe threat of terrorism and violent carjackings.

“Armed criminals don’t hesitate to shoot at vehicles to stop and rob their occupants …. Such incidents can happen …. day or night, on both main and secondary roads,” states Global Affairs Canada.

Although unconfirmed whether she personally wrote the words, a screenshot of a Facebook post circulating on the on social media shows Blais holding an ‘Iraq’ sign in Arabic while the post reads, “HITCHHIKING IRAQ – I just wanted to share that there is love and warmth everywhere in the world. You just need the wisdom and courage to reach out and grasp it. Open your minds and hearts! We are the people showing others that the world is a place in which solo females can travel to its far corners. Happy 2019. Let’s hit the road.”

According to reports, Blais was intending to travel on to Togo, where she “planned to volunteer with an organization attempting to reforest parts of Togo.”

As I highlight in the video at the end of this article, there have been innumerable instances of left-wingers with a utopian idea of the world who visit dangerous countries trying to spread peace, love and understanding who end up dead.

Others who have expressed support for mass immigration have been brutally raped and murdered by migrants in their own countries.

The most recent example was two female Scandinavian tourists, one of whom urged her Facebook followers to “never judge people by their appearance” alongside a video which decried Islamophobia.

Both women ended up being raped and beheaded by ISIS supporters while on a hiking trip in Morocco.

Another case involved two left-wing cyclists who biked around the world while arguing that there was no evil in the world and that our view of other cultures being more intolerant or dangerous was just a product of our own bigotry.

They ended up being mowed down by vehicles and then stabbed to death by Islamic terrorists in Tajikistan.

Until leftists dispense with their utopian delusions and truly realize that the world is a dangerous place which is full of people intent on doing harm, and that the danger is far greater in countries located in Africa and the Middle East, more innocent people will suffer pointless deaths.

Don’t forget that this is also why we have borders; to keep out dangerous violent criminals – and yet the left does everything in its power to dismantle them.

Swedish media blasted for playing down horrific details of hikers’ IS-inspired murders in Morocco

Swedish state broadcaster SVT has come under fire for what some viewers are calling an effort to downplay the horrendous details of the murders of two Scandinavian backpackers in Morocco last week.

Louisa Vesterager Jespersen, 24, from Denmark, and Maren Ueland, 28, from Norway were killed while backpacking in Morocco’s High Atlas mountains. While both girls were stabbed multiple times, one of them was also beheaded on camera, shown in a video that has spread like wildfire around social media.

Previously recorded footage, which was authenticated by investigators, also shows the suspects in the brutal double murder pledging allegiance to the Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, further confirming that the murders were an act of terrorism.

On Christmas Eve, the national public broadcaster in Sweden aired a report about the barbaric killings, but chose not to focus on the actual details of the crime or the now-established links to Islamic terrorism. The SVT report made no mention of the fact that one of the young women was beheaded, said nothing about the ISIS link and simply referred to “knife damage” on the woman’s neck.

Bizarrely, the report focused almost entirely on how it is a punishable offence to share the disturbing video. Written reports on SVT’s website did mention the fact that the murders have been linked to Islamic terrorism, but that fact was nowhere to be found in its strange Christmas Eve report.

The odd angle taken by SVT prompted suggestions from viewers that the broadcaster seemed to be more worried about the possibility of the video spreading further than the actual murders themselves – and annoyed viewers quickly took to social media to denounce what they said was a case of the media being overly concerned with political correctness.

One person noted that there was a significant difference between how SVT covered the 2015 Trollhättan school attack, in which the Swedish perpetrator had been motivated by racism and chose a school in an area with a high immigrant population to commit his murders. While in that case, SVT recounted “minute by minute” what the killer did, publishing graphics and detailed information, in the case of the Scandinavian girls, the coverage was far more vague.

One Twitter user wrote that at first he thought the use of the phrase “knife damage” instead of ‘beheaded’ or ‘decapitated’ was just some kind of unfortunate formulation of words until he realized the channel had repeated the phrase more than once.

“I myself would never watch such a film, let alone share it. But now we are more upset about the crime of proliferation than the crime of beheading,” another user wrote, denouncing overly “PC” people.

“Have these IS killers already been given jobs at SVT?” asked another angry tweeter, while another asked had the SVT reporters seen the footage of the woman dying and in pain as her neck is cut. “Knife damage is indeed a euphemism,” they wrote.

“225 years ago Marie Antoinette suffered ‘knife damage to her neck’ during the French Revolution,” another user sarcastically wrote.

Ungrateful Honduran Illegal Migrant Who Complained About Mexican “Pig Food” — Is Seen Dining in Dallas, Texas

By Jim Hoft

In November ungrateful Honduran migrant “Lady Frijoles” upset her Mexican caretakers when she complained to reporters about the free beans and tortillas provided to the members of the caravan camping out in Tijuana, Mexico.

The Honduran woman interviewed by the reporter described the free meals given to her as ‘pig food.’

“The food that they’re handing out here is terrible. Refried beans? As if they were feeding the pigs. If we don’t eat this, we will die of hunger,” the ungrateful Honduran migrant said.

It was later discovered the woman was hardly a “refugee” and lived a comfortable life in Honduras.

Mirian Celaya, the infamous “Lady Frijoles,” later went missing. Of course, many leftists and illegal migrant supporters thought she was the victim of violence.

Nope.

This weekend Mirian was filmed in Dallas, Texas eating at a local restaurant.

Her sister posted video on Instagram of the two sisters in Dallas.

When everyone wondered where Mirian Celaya is, the Honduran migrant who despised Mexican beans, she was already crossing to the US.

And in the last hours have circulated videos of the Honduran controversy with his sister, celebrating his arrival in the ‘American dream’.

“Here is my sister, for all those who hurt my sister, all those who said she was dead,” says Mirian’s sister in tears.

Mirian Yamileth !! La señora Hondureña que decían que estaba desaparecida … ya está en Estados Unidos con sus hermana !!

The two sisters even posted a photo from inside the Dallas restaurant.

CNN’s Chris Cuomo Compares Criminal Illegal Aliens to Baby Jesus (VIDEO)

CNN’s Chris Cuomo compared criminal illegal aliens storming the US border to Baby Jesus.

In his closing comments on Wednesday’s broadcast, CNN’s Chris Cuomo compared the criminal illegal aliens’ border troubles to Mary, Joseph… and even BABY JESUS.

For some reason, CNN’s Chris Cuomo thinks that criminal aliens seeking to illegally across the border are LITERALLY Mary / Joseph / BABY JESUS.

Yes. What you just read is a disturbing reality instead of a fantastical joke. The mainstream media and leftist movement against traditional Americana is so deranged that they would compare Jesus Christ to thousands of criminal illegals putting children in danger with dangerous outbursts.

Cuomo made these statements in spite of several biblical passages addressing strong borders and respect for sovereignty. Video producer Sean Campbell pointed out the hypocrisy by providing the following text.

Campbell develops the video content for Jewish journalist and truth teller Laura Loomer, who was recently silenced on Twitter for calling out the Jew hate showcased by Muslim Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.

Deuteronomy 19:14

“You shall not move your neighbor’s boundary mark, which the ancestors have set, in your inheritance which you will inherit in the land that the LORD your God gives you to possess.”

OR
“Deuteronomy 27:17

‘Cursed is he who moves his neighbor’s boundary mark.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’”

OR

“Isaiah 19:19

In that day there will be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the LORD at its border.”

Furthermore, the point should be made that denying access to asylum on several occasions does not feature you along side JESUS CHRIST in the history books. To do so showcases Cuomo’s lack of understanding in regards to the Biblical text and a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

CNN needs to do a wellness check on Cuomo.

SWEDEN: 70-YEAR-OLD WOMAN INTERROGATED, CONVICTED FOR ANTI-MUSLIM FACEBOOK POST

Sweden: 70-Year-Old Woman Interrogated, Convicted For Anti-Muslim Facebook Post

Pensioner expressed concern about Islamic takeover

Paul Joseph Watson | Infowars.com – NOVEMBER 29, 2018

A 70-year-old woman in Sweden was interrogated by police and later convicted for an anti-Muslim Facebook post in which she expressed fear that Islam was taking over the country.

The post, made in May 2018 on the Facebook group Stand Up For Sweden, appeared as a comment underneath an article about violence towards women.

“Is this not Sweden or have we turned over the country to some Muslim damned vermin?,” the woman wrote.

The post was flagged by taxpayer funded hate speech watchdog group Näthats-inspector and the woman was subsequently interrogated by police in Hudiksvall.

She admitted that she could have framed the post better but asserted that she was merely upset after reading material about the mistreatment of women in Islamic countries.

“I am against the fact that they are bad to women. We have so many Muslims coming. I must have meant that they are battering women. I’m afraid of that,” she told police, adding that she had been “provoked” by news headlines about the issue.

The woman as later convicted and ordered to pay 40 daily fines of 120 kronor.

The judge in the case said that the Facebook post was more of an assertion than a question and therefore violated Sweden’s hate speech laws.

Similar laws that would officially make “Islamophobia” a racist hate crime are now being discussed in the United Kingdom.

Earlier this year, a 65-year-old woman in Sweden who was previously the victim of a brutal beating by migrants was sentenced to prison for posting that “the IQ level in Sweden will fall as a result of immigration.”

In another case, a 32-year-old woman from Gothernburg was interrogated by police, had her DNA taken and was subsequently imprisoned for the “crime” of sharing a joke meme about Islam on Facebook.

Last year, a 70-year-old Swedish woman was prosecuted for hate speech for saying she saw migrants setting fire to cars, something that happens all the time in Sweden.

Also last year, Sweden put YouTube star PewDiePie, their biggest export since Abba and Ikea furniture, on an official hate list.

CARAVAN MIGRANTS DODGE TIJUANA JOBS HOPING TO ENTER US

Caravan Migrants Dodge Tijuana Jobs Hoping to Enter US

Reportedly 10,000 jobs available to integrate migrants into local economy

Deutsche Welle – NOVEMBER 23, 2018

With many migrants stranded in Tijuana, local authorities are trying to offer them jobs in the Mexican border town.

But most migrants are determined to reach the US. Tobias Käufer reports from Tijuana.

Jose Rodriguez from Siguatepeque in Honduras has been carrying his white flag for more than 3,000 kilometers now. “I have two kids in Honduras. I want them to have a better life,” the 29-year-old tells DW. The white flag has become the symbol of the migrant caravan, which started from the Honduran city of San Pedro Sula on October 12 with the aim of reaching the US. “The flag symbolizes that we mean no harm, and that we have good intentions,” Rodriguez explains.

“Let Us Cross”

On Thursday, Jose Rodriguez, his companions and their flags reach El Chaparral in Tijuana, the main border point from Tijuana, Mexico, into the US. That day, 300 migrants are camped here, demanding that US authorities accept their requests for asylum. “We can’t wait any longer,” the migrants shout, “let us cross.”

Mexican security forces, meanwhile, have cordoned off the area and blocked the main access road, causing traffic chaos in the Mexican border town of Tijuana because cross-border traffic is especially heavy on Thanksgiving, the US holiday.

Many Tijuana locals, meanwhile, are fed up with the migrants. Some sport red President  Donald Trump-like baseball caps reading “Make Tijuana great again”. Last Sunday, about 1,000 locals gathered to protest against the influx if migrants, chanting “No to invasion, yes to migration.” Many Mexicans cheered them on. Local media report that an additional 7,000 migrants are set to arrive in the coming week.

Muddy Camps

The 5,000 migrants who have already made it to Tijuana with the first caravan from Honduras are struggling, the atmosphere is tense.

“It’s chaos, Jose Rodriguez says. “There is no coordination, no one is leading us. We all just start running around when a rumor starts circulating,” he adds.

Heavy rains have made conditions in the camp even worse. The Benito Juarez sports arena, where the makeshift camp has been set up, is turning into a muddy swamp. Most migrants have to sleep in the open, and many are sick. The catastrophic conditions are particularly hard on the 1,000 children there.caravan

10,000 Jobs Available

Meanwhile, the regional government is doing what it can to integrate the migrants into the local economy. Luis Rodolfo Enriquez runs a kind of job agency near the emergency camp.

“In the first couple of days, only a few dozen came to find out about vacancies,” he tells DW. But soon, he adds, they came to trust him, and more migrants inquired about work. There are some 10,000 unfilled vacancies in Tijuana. Enriquez is convinced that half the migrants can get a job if they want. He says people with and without qualifications have a chance of getting work.

Although Rodolfo Enriquez’ recruitment agency is an improvised operation, everything is well-organized. There are plastic chairs and wooden tables. Employers can meet potential workers, and down the hall, immigration councilors issue temporary work permits. All over the city, shops display signs reading “staff wanted.”.

Trying to Ease the Tensions

Mexican authorities have been working hard to placate angry migrants demanding to enter the US. At the border crossing, one of them tells the migrants that Tijuana has plenty of job opportunities. But most migrants are determined to reach the US.

Jose Rodriguez remains optimistic that he will make it across the border, no matter how hard the circumstances. “I cannot give up hope, I want a better future for my children. That’s why I won’t give up.”

As night falls, tensions flare up in El Chaparral. A few dozen migrants insist on spending the night at the border crossing throughout the night.

While the migrants discuss their situation after nightfall, they watch as TV screens nearby show US President Donald Trump – subtitled in Spanish – explain that he plans to shut the entire US-Mexico border if the situation gets out of control.

This is followed by a report on Mexican TV that another group of migrants had left the makeshift camp in Mexico City. Their destination: The United States of America.

HUNDREDS OF MIGRANTS PUSH ON TO US-MEXICO BORDER BRIDGE

Hundreds of migrants push on to US-Mexico border bridge

Trump on Thursday threatened to close the border altogether

By AFP

Tijuana (Mexico) (AFP) – Tension mounted as hundreds of Central American migrants massed at a Mexican border town headed on Thursday for a bridge crossing to the United States as President Donald Trump renewed his threats to repel them.

With US helicopters hovering overhead, a group made up mostly of men headed just after midday from the shelter they have been staying at since last week to the El Chaparral bridge around a kilometer (half a mile) away in Tijuana, just across the border from San Diego, California.

Trump on Thursday threatened to close the border altogether, having previously deployed nearly 6,000 troops to erect concrete barriers and razor-wire fences to deter what he has called an “invasion.”

“If we find that it gets to a level where we are going to lose control or where people are going to start getting hurt, we will close entry into the country for a period of time until we can get it under control,” Trump told reporters, before firing a warning to Mexico.

“The whole border. I mean the whole border,” he said, adding that “Mexico will not be able to sell their cars into the United States.” 

Tensions rose at the border when a local official and a human rights activist tried to convince the migrants both of the benefits of remaining in Mexico, and to submit their US asylum requests through official channels.

“We don’t want to!” shouted the migrants before continuing on to the bridge.

“Let us cross now, we’re already desperate, we’ve left family in Honduras, we need to work,” said a man called Wilson.

Authorities in Tijuana set up a job fair in an attempt to recruit skilled workers amongst the migrants for the benefit of local companies, while Mexico’s migration agency has offered them temporary residency papers.

Some have taken advantage of the offers but others are simply determined to reach the US.

Since setting out more than a month ago, mostly from from Honduras, thousands of migrants — including many women and children — have covered about 4,400 kilometers (2,700 miles), either walking or hitchhiking, before the first groups began reaching Tijuana at the end of last week.

But there have been tensions since they started arriving at the border town, particularly in the shelter housing around 4,500 Central Americans.

The migrants are mostly fleeing poverty and unrest in Central America’s “Northern Triangle” — El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, where gang violence has fueled some of the highest murder rates in the world.
