Donald Trump Walks Out of White House Meeting with Chuck and Nancy ‘a total waste of time’
By Charlie Spiering
President Donald Trump walked out of a White House meeting with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi after they made it clear they were not willing to negotiate with Republicans to reopen the government and fund construction of a border wall.
“Just left a meeting with Chuck and Nancy, a total waste of time,” Trump wrote on Twitter.
Trump asked Nancy Pelosi if she would bring up a vote for border security within 30 days if he signed a bill to reopen the government.
According to Trump, Pelosi said, “No.”
“I said bye-bye, nothing else works!” Trump wrote.
Vice President Mike Pence noted that Democrats remained unwilling to negotiate a deal with the president and confirmed Trump’s account of the meeting.
“When she said no, the president said, ‘goodbye,’” Pence recalled.
Pence urged Americans to call their representatives to get them back to the table.
“The door here at the White House is wide open,” he said.
Congressional Republicans confirmed the account after the meeting, noting that Schumer and Pelosi refused to commit to any funding for a wall within 30 days, even if the government was reopened.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said that the president was in a good mood and wanted to make a deal with Democrats.
“He even brought a little candy for everybody,” he said.
But McCarthy said Pelosi refused to acknowledge the border crisis and that Schumer raised his voice while addressing the president.
“Their behavior is embarrassing to me,” McCarthy said, accusing them of lying about the nature of the meeting. He added that the media should bring their cameras into the next meetings so that everyone could see for themselves the nature of the conversations.
Pelosi and Schumer also spoke to reporters after the meeting.
“It’s cold out here and the temperature wasn’t much warmer in the Situation Room,” Pelosi said with a shiver, speaking to reporters outside the White House.
Schumer said that the president slammed the table in anger, a claim that Republicans disputed. Schumer said he felt like Trump’s behavior was “unbecoming of the presidency.”

Border authorities are referring 50 people a day for urgent medical care, including tuberculosis, flu and even pregnant women about to give birth, a top official said Monday, saying it’s unlike anything they’ve ever seen before.
Most of those in need of care are children, and a staggering 28 percent are under age 5, having been dragged along for the trip by parents who in many cases are hoping to use the children as a shield against speedy deportation from the U.S.
The numbers were released after a full review was done of all children in the custody of Customs and Border Protection in the wake of two illegal-immigrant children who died in U.S. hospitals in December.
CBP Commissioner Kevin McAleenan said most of those needing help were ill when they arrived at the border, and some appear to have made the initial decision to leave even while ailing.
“Many were ill before they departed their homes,” the commissioner said. “We’re talking about cases of pneumonia, tuberculosis, parasites. These are not things that developed urgently in a matter of days.”
Tweet Delete: Rep. Steve Cohen Implies Trump’s ‘Audience’ Is ‘Similar’ to KKK Dems Go Low for Open Borders
By Robert Kraychik
Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) implied that President Donald Trump’s Tuesday-night Oval Office address resembled Ku Klux Klan “tactics,” further deriding the president’s “audience” as similar to Ku Klux Klan membership.
Cohen tweeted — then soon deleted — a response to presidential biographer Jon Meacham shortly after Trump’s video address to the nation:
Cohen further described Trump as a “national emergency”:
Cohen also derided Americans as “plain folks of the land” whose inner souls are embodied by “a downright and complete narcissistic moron” like Trump:
Cohen’s now-deleted post was a response to one from Jon Meacham, who, hours before Trump’s address to the nation regarding border security, linked calls for a border wall to the Ku Klux Klan:
During a discussion panel with former President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State James Baker in November, Meacham refused to state Trump’s name in a discussion of the president’s policies.
Breitbart News reported at the time:
Both Meacham and Obama refused to say Trump’s name, despite both referring to him implicitly. “He’s Voldemort. I’m not going to say his name,” Meacham said of Trump while asking Obama a question about Trump’s presidency.
Also in November, Meacham said Chief Justice John Roberts had a “moral obligation” to speak out against Trump.
Meacham is regularly featured across cable and network television news as a non-partisan and politically objective analyst.
Democrats Funded a 287 Mile Wall in Jordan – LAST YEAR! But Won’t Fund Border Wall in US!
by Jim Hoft January 9, 2019
Nancy Pelosi argued this week that “walls are immoral.”
Chuck Schumer called President Trump’s stand against open borders a “manufactured crisis!”
But less than one year ago Pelosi and Schumer approved funding on a 287 mile long border wall — in JORDAN!
Neil Munro at Breitbart.com reported at the time.
The 2018 omnibus provides just enough funds to build 33 miles of fencing on the Texas border — but it also provides $500 million to help Jordan build a wall and defense line against jihad terrorists trying to cross its 287-mile border with Iraq and Syria.
The omnibus budget says on page 394:
SEC. 9011. Up to $500,000,000 of funds appropriated by this Act for the Defense Security Cooperation Agency in ‘‘Operation and Maintenance, Defense-Wide’’ may be used to provide assistance to the Government of Jordan to support the armed forces of Jordan and to enhance security along its borders.
Democrats had no problem funding the wall in Jordan.
It was not an “immoral wall.”
And that was only 10 months ago!

Democrats Preview Response to Trump Oval Office Speech: ‘There Is No National Emergency on the Southern Border’
By Joel B. Pollak
Democrats have already dropped hints of what their response to President Donald Trump’s address Tuesday evening from the Oval Office on the border crisis will be.
The networks have granted Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) airtime to respond. Their message will be that there is no crisis that merits building a barrier on the border. The only crisis, to them, is the partial government shutdown.
As Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) said last week, responding to the suggestion Trump may declare an emergency so he can order the military to build the barrier: “There is no national emergency on the southern border.” He described the idea as “stealing resources from the Defense Department.”
The real solution to what he called the “complex issues at our southern border” — which are not an emergency, mind you — is “comprehensive immigration reform.”
The idea that there is no crisis at the border will be a tough sell, especially as Democrats and the media described the situation as a crisis last summer, when the Trump administration started enforcing its “zero tolerance” policy toward illegal crossings that resulted — thanks to existing rules dating to the Obama administration — in children being separated from adults. Pelosi even questioned “why there aren’t uprisings all over the country” about it.
To Democrats, the only “crisis” — aside from the government being partially closed for two weeks — results from the enforcement of existing laws at the border. To resolve that “crisis,” they want to pass more laws — which, they insist, include provisions for “border security,” though they do not want to enforce the laws already on the books.
Here are some other arguments Democrats will likely use, based on their statements over the past several days.
1. Trump is a liar. “I expect the president to lie to the American people,” said Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), the new chair of the House Judiciary Committee, during a visit to the border yesterday. (Nadler added: “There’s no security crisis at the border.”) Nadler echoed the CNN line, which is that the president’s speeches should not enjoy live coverage because he might say inaccurate things — a problem journalists never had with President Barack Obama.
2. Border walls and fences do not work. This is another weak argument, since many House and Senate Democrats — including Schumer — voted for the Secure Fence Act of 2006. Other variants of this argument is that a wall would be “immoral” (Pelosi) and “racist” (Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)). However, given examples of walls or fences to stop migrants in the European Union, Israel, and even Botswana, these arguments are also easily defeated.
3. Trump’s $5 billion proposal is wasteful. This is a tough argument to sustain after Democrats’ own proposals to end the partial shutdown and re-open the government. Democrats want “over $12 billion more in foreign aid than the Trump administration requested,” according to Breitbart News’ Rebecca Mansour. Democrats also asked for a combined $10 billion in extra funding for the United Nations and other supposed priorities. $5 billion is nothing.
4. Mexico should be paying for it. Democrats have been taking potshots at the president for months by reminding him of his refrain from the campaign trail in 2016. Trump has argued that Mexico is paying for the wall through its concessions on trade. But the U.S. could also tax remittances Mexican workers in the U.S. send home, or raise fees for crossing the border. There are many ways to collect in future, if needed; what the wall needs is a down payment.
5. Government shutdowns are wrong. This used to be a winning argument for Democrats — until they shut down the government themselves last year in an effort to force President Trump and the Republicans to legalize the so-called “Dreamers,” i.e. illegal aliens brought to the country as minors. The contrast also works in favor of Trump: Democrats shut down the government to protect illegal aliens, while the president is doing so to protect Americans.
The fact is that the Democrats’ best and only case against the border wall is that Trump proposed it. They know if he fails to deliver on his core campaign promise, he will lose his voter base. And they know if he buckles and re-opens the government without the funding he wants, they can walk all over him for the next two years.
What they may not realize is those reasons also make him stronger: he cannot compromise, therefore he has the advantage.
Angel Mom Julie Golvach to Trump: ‘Tired of the Talk,’ Take Action on Border
By John Binder
Angel Mom Julie Golvach — whose 25-year-old son Spencer was shot in the head four years ago by an illegal alien — says she is “tired of the talk” from President Trump and wants immediate action on the border and illegal immigration.
During an exclusive interview with SiriusXM Patriot’s Breitbart News Daily, Golvach told Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow that she wants less talk and more action from the Trump administration on illegal immigration.
Golvach said:
I’m tired of the tweets myself. I’m tired of saying what might happen, what’s going to happen. I want some action done. I sat in his office and announced I want action. The congressmen haven’t done anything, I want him to do action. I’m tired of the talk. Action should have been done a long time ago. [Emphasis added]
If you’re going to make it a national emergency, just make it a national emergency. Don’t step it up, step it up, step it up, and do nothing about it. Make it a national emergency. [Emphasis added]
Listen to Golvach’s full interview here:
Golvach, whose son was murdered by a four-time deported illegal alien, said she wants Trump to “Stop listening and getting caught up in the swamp, yourself, and do your job” when it comes to stopping illegal immigration.
“He’s listened to Paul Ryan too long,” Golvach said.
“When we were saying ‘build the wall’ we weren’t saying ‘and free them all,’ we didn’t say that,” Golvach said of a deal being floated that would give amnesty to illegal aliens in exchange for some border wall funding.
“We said ‘Build the wall.’ And that’s what we elected Donald Trump to do,” Golvach said. “That needs to be the done.”
“I’m tired of Americans’ money going to help everybody else and not taking care of Americans,” she continued.
The federal government has been partially shut down for more than 15 days now as Republicans, Democrats, and the Trump administration have yet to reach a deal to fund a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border to stop illegal immigration.
In the meantime, there have been two high-profile murders of Americans allegedly killed by illegal aliens.
Days before New Year’s Eve, 22-year-old Pierce Corcoran of Knoxville, Tennessee was killed in a car crash allegedly caused by 44-year-old illegal alien Franco Cambrany Francisco-Eduardo. Likewise, the day after Christmas, 33-year-old Newman, California police officer Ronil Singh was allegedly gunned down during a traffic stop and killed by 32-year-old illegal alien Gustavo Perez Arriaga.
At the southern border, there were close to 52,000 border crossings in November 2018, alone, marking the highest level of illegal immigration in the month of November since 2006. Projections indicate that illegal immigration for next year will reach 600,000 border crossings, the highest level of illegal immigration in more than a decade.
FENCE WITHIN STONE WALL, ‘MOAT’ SURROUND PELOSI VINEYARD ESTATE
“It’s surrounded by a massive stone wall.”
American Mirror – JANUARY 8, 2019
A fence within a wall and a “moat” protect Nancy Pelosi from the unwashed masses who would like a taste of her vineyard life.
Twitter user @KernUnited recently visited the new House Speaker’s property, and despite calling a wall along the southern border “immoral,” Pelosi has no problem keeping one around her estate.
The property on Zinfandel Lane north of Napa, California features a stone wall across the front of the property, and a large iron gate across the driveway.
“It’s surrounded by a massive stone wall,” the camerman notes.
“As you can see, it’s bounded by the … Napa River,” he says, “so the river forms a boundary, so she has a moat, as well.”
Approaching the gate, the man says, “As you can see here, she’s got a fence inside the stone wall. Two layers of fences, a big metal stone gate, and a river that acts as a moat,” he summarizes.
In a second video, the same man attempts to call Pelosi on the call box accompanying the gate.
Offered two call options — the residence and the “cottage” — the man attempts to call both, but they go unanswered.
As the federal government remains partially shut down, Pelosi has frequently invoked morality in the debate.
“The fact is, a wall is an immorality,” she said shortly after being named Speaker. “It’s not who we are as a nation.”
Schumer says ‘enough with the memes’ in attack on Trump, gets bombarded by sea of memes
US Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer inadvertently activated the meme-generating powers of President Donald Trump‘s supporters after criticizing his handling of the government shutdown on Twitter.
“Enough with the memes. Just quit hurting innocent people and re-open the government,” Schumer tweeted on Saturday in response to a ‘Game of Thrones’-inspired meme that Trump had tweeted earlier to champion his border security fence project.
Trump tweeted a photo showing a barrier of steel slats below an image of his frowning face. The photo was captioned “The Wall is Coming,” channeling the famous “Winter is Coming” motto from the popular HBO series.

It was not the first time that Trump altered the Stark House slogan to bolster his agenda. Back when he reintroduced sanctions against Iran in November, the president tweeted a photo with “Sanctions are Coming. November 5” transposed over his image.
The president’s clumsy meme-making was entirely lost on Schumer, who chided Trump for indulging in picture-editing instead of working to reopen the government, now in its third week of shutdown.
The Twittersphere’s response was instantaneous: Schumer’s comments were flooded with dozens of memes.
The unproven ‘Russia collusion’ allegations were also brought up.
The anti-Trump resistance crowd entered the meme battle with a few sorties of their own, dragging the Mueller investigation, the “blue wave,” and impeachment calls into the snowballing thread.
