Trump fired off a tweet Sunday, noting that “The Democrats are everywhere but Washington as people await their pay.”


Trump was following up on a previous tweet asking Democrats to return from vacationing:

The President was referring to the fact that some congressional Democrats spent the weekend in Puerto Rico, while the shutdown became the longest on record.
As The Washington Examiner reported, over 30 Democrats headed to the Caribbean island with 109 lobbyists and corporate executives in tow, claiming that they were scheduled to discuss their “shared priorities.”
Those priorities included seeing the Broadway show Hamilton and attending at least three parties.

Sen. Bob Menendez was spotted on the beach, discussing his own priorities:

Of course, the leftist media has not reported on any of this, instead blaming Trump for the shutdown gridlock.
The White House also slammed Democrats, with Press Secretary Sarah Sanders accusing Democrats of “partying on the beach instead of negotiating a compromise.”

In an interview with Fox News, Trump told Jeanine Pirro that he does not want to have to call a national emergency at the southern border.
“I’d rather see the Democrats come back from their vacation and act. They’re not acting, and they’re the ones that are holding it up,” he said. “It would take me 15 minutes to get a deal done, and everybody could go back to work. But I’d like to see them act responsibly, and they’re not acting responsibly, and that’s it. I’m in the White House, and most of them are in different locations. They’re watching a certain musical in a very nice location.”
Trump followed up the tweet Monday, again asserting that the shutdown could be ended within 15 minutes:


“I don’t want the next national emergency to be that some Democrat President says we have to build transgender bathrooms in every elementary school in America,” Gaetz said.
Trump has been teasing the decision for days, saying Thursday that he “can’t imagine any reason” not to declare a national emergency.

“His ultimate goal is, as you said, to make America pure in the sense of not having immigrants, not having folks of color here, shutting down every form of legal immigration, all to throw a bone to those people,” said Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) on “All In With Chris Hayes.”
There were no brakes on the insane train, as Hayes made no attempt to interject or slow the congresswoman down. Aside from the obvious lie, this represents a new level of vile anti-Trump rhetoric from the left.
MSNBC flashed a graphic during the segment that claimed “it was never about a wall,” with which Jayapal vocally agreed, despite the fact that it has – quite literally – always been about a wall. The only party that has ever interjected race into this equation is Democratic Party, which thrives off of race-pimping and racial warfare.

Hundreds of studies, by the way, (here’s one) have shown that illegal immigration disproportionately affects blacks and Hispanics, a fact which Trump noted during his border wall address on Tuesday night. In fact, building a wall demonstrably help “folks of color,” as Jayapal calls them. The only group that would significantly negatively impacted would be big business owners, who would have to stop employing illegals at half the rate they would employ Americans, forcing them to give those low-skilled jobs to low-skilled American employees.
But the liberal elite like Jayapal and Hayes refuse to acknowledge these basic facts, instead choosing to brand Republicans as “racists,” or in this case claim that they are advocating for genocide.
All the Democrats have to do is not be insane, and they cannot even manage that.

On the flip side, Republicans overwhelmingly favor both pulling out of Syria and drawing down troops from Afghanistan.


On the religious front, non-evangelical Catholics were the most supportive of pulling out of Syria (64%/24%) while Jews were the most opposed (34%/52%).

Though “conservative” Erick Erickson suggested last month that our soldiers were ready to stage a coup to overthrow president Trump in order to keep the war in Syria going, the poll found military households were also overwhelmingly in favor of ending the war (55%/35%).
Most Democrats were against the war in Syria in 2017 before the latest media blitz ordered them to support it:

As I reported earlier this week, over the past two years neocons have begun shifting over to the Democratic Party.

MSNBC also recently celebrated that the “military-industrial complex is now run by women”— as well as the CIA.



CNS News – JANUARY 11, 2019
Speaking at a Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) reception in honor of himself and Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) and Ihlan Omar (D-Minn.), Carson also spoke in defense of his “sister Rashida,” who has been under fire for using a vulgar expletive to describe President Trump.
Asked by a reporter what he thought about Tlaib “and what she said,” Carson said he had replied, “I love her, I’ve known her for decades. She’s a fighter and I stand with her.”
“And we should stand with her,” he added, drawing applause from the CAIR gathering at a hotel in Arlington, Va.

Carson likened Tlaib and Omar to superheroes who arrived at a time when he was feeling “all alone” after his then sole Muslim colleague, Rep. Keith Ellison, had stepped down to run for attorney general of Minnesota. (Ellison took up the post on Monday; Omar won the election in November to succeed him as representative for Minnesota’s 5th District.)
“All of a sudden I looked in the sky and saw Wonderwoman come out of nowhere,” Carson said. “And then I looked on the other side and I saw Storm from the X-Men come out of nowhere.”
“We’ve got firepower in Congress. We’ve got sister Rashida [Tlaib] in the House, and she’s tough.”
“She’s the kind of sister you take to a debate with scholars with you, because she’ll rock the house,” Carson continued. “She’s also the kind of sister you take with you if you’re about to get jumped, because she’ll fight too. That sister’s tough.”
Carson said it was important to have three Muslims in Congress, but that he would not rest until there were five more Muslims in Congress in 2020, and ten more by 2022 or 2024.
“In 2030 we may have about 30, 35 Muslims in Congress,” he said.
“Then we’re talking about Madame Chair Rashida. We’re talking about Madame Chair Ilhan,” Carson continued.
“Hell, we could be saying Speaker of the House Ilhan, Speaker of the House Rashida, Senator Rashida, Governor Ilhan, President Fatima, Vice President Aziza. Inshallah [Allah willing].”
Carson described Tlaib and Omar as “powerful” and “smart.”
“They’re ready. They represent the next generation of Democratic leadership. They’re unapologetic about who they are, and they won’t bow down and they’ll never, never sell you out.”
Concluding his speech, Carson said every American Muslim has “a directive to represent Islam, in all of our imperfections, but to represent Islam and let the world know that Muslims are here to stay, and Muslims are a part of America. And we will have a Muslim caucus that is sizeable, that is formidable, and that is there for you.”
