Congress Members Go To Border And Help Asylum Seekers Get Into The Country


They are literally working to have open borders. Now, everyone is suddenly not an illegal alien but an “asylum seeker” who will then be released pending their hearing and disappear into the United States.

Via San Diego Union Tribune:

Customs and Border Protection officers on Tuesday morning took in the final members of a group of asylum seekers who, accompanied by attorneys and two members of Congress, sat on U.S. soil outside the Otay Mesa Port of Entry for hours, some overnight.

Reps. Nanette Barragan and Jimmy Gomez, both of the Los Angeles area, walked with the group of about 15 asylum seekers up the path to the port of entry around 2:30 p.m. on Monday. When they passed a placard that indicated they had reached the U.S., all of the migrants sat down on the concrete in front of the port’s gate.

At some point, an additional family that happened to be trying to request asylum at the port joined the group.

Volunteers, mostly attorneys and law students, shielded the migrants to keep them from being forced back into Mexico while the two members of Congress questioned officials about whether they would take the group into the port for processing.

House Freedom Caucus Launches Last-Minute Plan To Force Border Wall into Any Spending Bill


“Build the Wall” might have been the rallying cry of Donald Trump and his supporters during the 2016 presidential election, but it looks like that promise could be dead in the water.

Two years after voters sent Trump to the White House, his most well-known proposal hasn’t made much headway. With Democrats set to take control of the House in January and even the Republican-run Senate hesitant about including the requested border funding in the congressional budget, it looks like the wall has stalled.

But the House Freedom Caucus isn’t giving in without a fight. The group of 34 conservatives in Congress said they intend a last-minute push on Wednesday night to get the wall funded — and they acknowledge that it might be the final chance to make it happen.

“HFC members will be holding a special order tonight to call for wall funding and reforms to end catch and release,” James Braid, the policy director for the group, told The Western Journal.

“HFC will try to amend any spending bill so that it 1) funds President Trump’s border wall and 2) closes asylum loopholes by ending ‘catch and release,’” Braid said.

“This would secure our borders by drastically reducing the inflow of illegal immigration while simultaneously allowing our laws to work as intended,” he continued.

Do you support the late push for border wall funding?

“We need to stop cartels from bringing drugs across an open border, and we need to disincentivize abuse of our generous asylum policies so that we can make our immigration system work as intended,” Braid said.

North Carolina Rep. Mark Meadows, who also serves as the chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, echoed that statement.

“The bottom line is simple: It’s deeply irresponsible for this Congress to keep sending the president status quo funding bills, without any of his promises included, and essentially say, ‘Sign this, or shut down the government,’” Meadows said.

“The president doesn’t pass bills — that’s our job, and for Congress to surrender and accept defeat before the hard work even starts is wrong. The time to fight is now,” he said.

Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio was just as upset. “This is frustrating. We should have pushed this in March,” he told The Daily Signal.

“What we know is that this is not what we told the voters we were going to do,” Jordan said.

His frustration makes perfect sense. After all, Republicans controlled both chambers of Congress and the White House for two years. They had ample opportunity to tackle the border wall issue, which was undeniably a major part of Trump’s electoral win.

Instead they hemmed and hawed, making shockingly slow progress on securing the border.

It’s one thing to blame Democrats when they control the House; it’s nothing but excuse-making when conservatives had a clear path to the proverbial end zone but didn’t move the ball.

As recent events along the southern border have shown, keeping it secure and properly funded is more important than ever.

“It’s Bullschiff!” – Roger Stone Responds to Latest Media Attack, “It’s Adam Schiff’s Wet Dream”


“It’s Bullschiff!” – Roger Stone Responds to Latest Media Attack, “It’s Adam Schiff’s Wet Dream”

December 19, 2018

The liberal media continued their attacks on conservative author and Trump adviser Roger Stone. The Democrat-media complex is hoping Roger Stone will be the missing link between Trump and Russia in their ongoing collusion conspiracy. This is despite all of the evidence to the contrary.

On Wednesday news broke that Special Counsel Robert Mueller asked the House Intelligence Committee on Friday to turn over the official transcript of Roger Stone’s testimony.

MSN reported:

Special counsel Robert S. Mueller III asked the House Intelligence Committee on Friday for an official transcript of Trump adviser Roger Stone’s testimony, according to people familiar with the request, a sign that prosecutors could be moving to charge him with a crime.

It is the first time Mueller has formally asked the committee to turn over material the panel has gathered in its investigation of Russian interference of the 2016 campaign, according to the people.

The move suggests that the special counsel is moving to finalize his months-long investigation of Stone — a key part of Mueller’s inquiry into whether anyone in President Trump’s orbit coordinated with the Russians.

On Wednesday we reached out to Roger Stone for comment.

The political consultant told The Gateway Pundit, “This is Adam Schiff’s wet dream.”

Roger Stone continued, “Where is the Russian Collusion? Where is the Wikileaks collaboration? Where is the proof or evidence that I received allegedly hacked or allegedly stolen emails from Wikileaks or Julian Assange or anyone else and passed them on to Donald Trump or the Trump campaign or anyone else? Oh they don’t have them?
So this is devolved into semantical word games, partisan hair splitting and non material perjury. My testimony is entirely accurate and truthful.”

“It’s bullschiff!”

You can quote me as calling it’ Adam Schiff’s wet dream”. Where is the RussIan Collusion? Where is the Wikileaks collaboration? Where is the proof or evidence that I received allegedly hacked or allegedly stolen emails from Wikileaks or Julian Assange or anyone else and passed them on to Donald Trump or the Trump campaign or anyone else? Oh they don’t have them?
So this is devolved into semantical word games, partisan hair splitting and non material perjury. My testimony is entirely accurate and truthful.

It’s bullschiff !

FED CHAIR SCREWS AMERICA: Announces New Rate Hike — DOW PLUNGES 670 Points in an Hour — Updated


FED CHAIR SCREWS AMERICA: Announces New Rate Hike — DOW PLUNGES 350 Points in 10 Minutes

December 19, 2018

The Fed announced on Wednesday afternoon that they will increase rates and will also increase rates next year.

The Dow immediately dropped 350 points in 10 minutes.

The Fed is clearly a political machine not working in the interest of President Trump or the American people.  As a result of Fed policies Americans are being bound with massive interest payments on Obama debt for years to come.

The Dow Jones shrank by 3,200 points since the Fed’s Jerome Powell’s insidious comments in early October to continue to increase interest rates.

The DOW reached another all-time high on October 3rd reaching 26,829.  It was up for the 103rd time since Donald Trump was elected President and 46% since the November 2016 election.

This was clearly too much for the Fed’s Powell who then scared investors with his message that he will raise rates well into next year.

On Monday after the president’s tweet the Fed announced it would likely raise rates — The Dow immediately dropped another 507 points.

1/8th of the US economy is gone thanks to the Federal Reserve.

$4 Trillion in Wealth has been erased!

On Tuesday Stephen Moore said if the Fed raises rates on Wednesday they should all be fired.

Indictment: Three Illegal Aliens Murdered American for Reporting Illegal Hiring Scheme


Three illegal aliens have been indicted for murdering an American citizen who reported the illegal aliens’ ten-year business scheme wherein illegal aliens were hired instead of U.S. workers.

According to an unsealed indictment out of Savannah, Georgia, illegal alien brothers 49-year-old Pablo Rangel-Rubio and 42-year-old Juan Rangel-Rubio, along with 49-year-old illegal alien Higinio Perez-Bravo have been charged with the murder of 41-year-old Eliud Montoya — a naturalized U.S. citizen — after he reported illegal hiring practices.

Prosecutors say the Pablo Rangel-Rubio paid Perez-Bravo to help his brother in murdering Montoya just days after the American filed a formal complaint with federal officials claiming that Pablo Rangel-Rubio had been operating a ten-year illegal hiring scheme at a tree service company and had profited more than $3.5 million in the process.

Montoya was found shot dead in his home in August 2017. Four months before his murder, Montoya had notified the tree service company’s executives of the illegal hiring scheme.

“Eliud Montoya was a naturalized citizen of the United States who worked hard and raised a family,” U.S. Attorney Bobby Christine said in a statement.

“He went to the proper authorities to report a federal crime and for that, he was murdered,” Christine said. “Our office is committed to ensuring justice for Eliud Montoya, a man killed for doing the right thing, by those intent on protecting their illegal profits.”

The illegal alien Rangel-Rubio brothers have been charged with conspiracy to retaliate against a witness, conspiracy to kill a witness, conspiracy to conceal, harbor, and shield illegal aliens, and money laundering.

Pablo Rangel-Rubio and Perez-Bravo have been charged with conspiracy to commit murder. Rangel-Rubio has been hit with further charges: three counts of money laundering for operating the illegal hiring scheme.

Triple Amputee Vet Raises $1,361,421 to Build Wall in Two Days — $1 Billion Goal


Brian Kolfage, a triple amputee veteran and Purple Heart recipient has raised more than $1 million on a Go Fund Me campaign to pay for a wall on the U.S. border with Mexico.

Kolfage, who has a verified Facebook page, wrote on the Go Fund Me page:

Like a  majority of those American citizens who voted to elect President Donald J Trump, we voted for him to Make America Great Again. President Trump’s main campaign promise was to BUILD THE WALL. And as he’s followed through on just about every promise so far, this wall project needs to be completed still.

As a veteran who has given so much, 3 limbs, I feel deeply invested to this nation to ensure future generations have everything we have today. Too many Americans have been murdered by illegal aliens and too many illegals are taking advantage of  the United States taxpayers with no means of ever contributing to our society.

I have grandparents who immigrated to America legally, they did it the correct way and it’s time we uphold our laws, and get this wall BUILT! It’s up to Americans to help out and pitch in to get this project rolling.

If the 63 million people who voted for Trump each pledge $80, we can build the wall. That equates to roughly 5 Billion Dollars, even if we get half, that’s half the wall. We can do this.

“We have contacted the Trump Administration to secure a point of contact where all funds will go upon completion. When [we] get this information secured we will update. We have many very high-level contacts already helping,” the Go Fund Me page states.

Kolfage writes that the Democrats will go to any lengths to deny Trump a victory on his wall promise and goes on to ensure the validity of his cause to those who want to donate, including sharing a link to his Facebook page and his website, BrianKolfage.com.

“This won’t be easy, but it’s our duty as citizens,” Kolfage writes. “This needs to be shared every single day by each of you on social media. We can do it, and we can help President Trump make America safe again!”

CNN’s Carpenter: Democrats ‘Broke’ Trump in Fight Over the Wall


Wednesday on CNN’s “The Lead,” the panel discussed the temporary deal that finances the government through New Year’s Day without funding for President Donald Trump‘s wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.

CNN contributor Amanda Carpenter was critical of Trump’s negotiating tack.

She said, “The Democrats just broke him before they’re even sworn in to take over the House. He threatened a shutdown, and then he ran away from that fight. This was his last best chance to get big funding for that wall, and it’s over. People are waking up to the fact that after two years of the Trump presidency, he got a tax cut, he got judges, and now you get investigations as far as the eye can see. There’s just a lot of fatigue that comes with that. Republicans take a lot of incoming supporting Trump. If they’re not getting anything out of it, they’re going to start to go away.”

Mark Meadows: President Trump, Veto this Spending Bill, Fight for the Wall


The House Freedom Caucus and Chairman Mark Meadows (R-NC) delivered a series of fiery speeches Wednesday night, calling on President Donald Trump and Congress to fund his promised border wall; Meadows said they will back Trump if he vetoes the spending bill.

The House Freedom Caucus led a special order on the House floor on Wednesday night, urging Congress and the president to continue fighting for the border wall.

Meadows said, “I rise to encourage my colleagues to stay in the fight to have the president deliver on a promise.”

The House Freedom Caucus proposed an amendment to the proposed spending bill that would fund $5 billion in border wall funding and close asylum loopholes, ending “catch and release.”

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said on Wednesday that he will sponsor a continuing resolution (CR) that would fund the government through February 8, and kick the border wall funding fight to when Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) likely becomes the next Speaker of the House.

Meadows, along with Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), have often been described as President Trump’s “pit bulls,” noting their strong will to fight for Trump’s America First agenda.

The North Carolina conservative noted that the president said that he would not sign another spending bill that does not include border wall funding.

Rep. Meadows charged:

The president many, many, months ago said that he would not sign another funding bill unless we gave him wall funding. So what did this House do? It passed a bill to fund the Department of Defense, a short-term CR, and they said you know what, we’re going to have that fight after the midterms.

Mr. Speaker, it is after the midterms and we are here with a number of my colleagues tonight to say that we’re ready to fight on behalf of all the freedom loving americans to make sure that we have secure borders and to make sure that never again do we have to worry about terrorists and drug traffickers coming across our southern borders.

Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) spoke after Meadows, saying, “Securing the border is a fundamental constitutional duty of the federal government.”

Congressman Paul Gosar (R-AZ), a doctor, spoke of the opioid crisis and how the lack of a border wall has only led to more American addiction and death through the opioid crisis.

“A study came out earlier this year that said that the opioid crisis is deadlier than the Vietnam war in 1968,” Gosar explained. “The study said that the opioid crisis cost more than 1.7 million years of life.”

Gosar said, “Securing the border is a matter of life and death.”

Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA), said, “We are here to talk about the promise we made to the American people.”

Perry said that “this is our last chance, Nancy Pelosi will not do this.”

“The American people are counting on us to do what we said we would do,” Perry said.

Congressman Jim Jordan (R-OH), a co-founder of the Freedom Caucus, slammed House Republican and Democrat leadership for fooling the American people into thinking that they would fund Trump’s proposed border wall.

“Everyone knows the line ‘fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me,’” Jordan said. “The new line should be, ‘fool the American people four times, shame on Congress.”

Jordan continued, “Now they’re talking about kicking it to February 8th, you got to be kidding me. February 8th? When Nancy Pelosi is Speaker? Four different times we promised something and then kicked the can down the road.”

Rep. Jordan said, “The House Freedom Caucus is sick of the games. The American people are sick of the games.”

A Morning Consult poll released on Wednesday found that building a wall on America’s southern border and immigration reform rank as two of the top issues for Republican voters.

Congressman Steve Pearce (R-NM), whose district lies on America’s southern border, said, “All we’re asking is secure the border. Will we secure the border? The answer should be yes.”

Congressman Jody Hice (R-GA), said, “We have the opportunity in the spending bill to finally deliver for the American people.”

“The border crisis is for real. The wall is not the whole answer, but it is the first step,” Hice added.

Hice then noted, “Walls work, wherever walls have been placed there have been great results. For example, a 92 percent reduction in traffic in San Diego.”

Meadows then wrapped up the special order, calling on President Trump to veto the proposed CR, contending that House conservatives will fight with him to secure America’s border.

Chairman Meadows said:

I think that it’s appropriate to remind the American people that there is a bad case of Potomac fever up here in Washington, D.C. They forget what they promised the American people and yet what they must do is not forget it this time. Mr. President we’re going to back you up if you veto this bill, we’ll be there, but more importantly, the American people will be there, they’ll be there to support you. [Emphasis added.]

“Let’s build the wall and make sure that we do our job in Congress,” Meadows said.

Senate Passes Two-Month Stopgap Spending Bill in Late Night Vote – No New Money For Border Wall

The Senate passed a two-month stopgap funding bill in a late night vote Wednesday to avoid a Saturday government shutdown.

The bill was then quickly sent to the House just two days before the funding was set to expire; the House is expected to approve the bill right away.

“The Senate ok’d the plan by voice vote. The measure keeps the government open for the outstanding seven appropriations bills at existing levels…through February 8. Doesn’t fund wall,” reported Chad Pergram.

Outgoing Arizona Senator Jeff Flake presided over the vote. Senators were singing Christmas carols as they stiffed President Trump on border wall funding. 

The $1.6 billion for border security is not new money.

President Trump is the wild card because it is still not known whether he will sign the bill or veto it.

The President wanted $5 billion in funding to pay for border wall construction which was not included in the stopgap funding bill the Senate passed Wednesday night.

The Democrats take back the gavel on January 3rd, so if Trump can’t get border wall funding before then, he will never get the money; the Dems are digging in their heels.

Earlier Wednesday, Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows (R-NC) warned President Trump of the political fallout if he doesn’t veto the bill. Meadows said, “If Trump signs the bill there will be “major damage” to his re-election in 2020.”

The President said this week he would use the military to build the border wall if he didn’t get funding from Congress.

Facebook Blocks Christmas Ads from ‘Christ Centered Gamer’


Facebook recently refused to run Christmas buying guide advertisements from Christian gaming review website “Christ Centered Gamer,” a decision the social media giant told Breitbart News was an “error,” but the company has made no move to reverse the decision and has not contacted Christ Centered Gamer since.

Popular Christian video game review website  Christ Centered Gamer ran into issues when attempting to advertise on Facebook recently when the social media platform refused to publish their advertisement. Christ Centered Gamer (CCG) publishes a yearly Christmas buying guide, listing some of the most fun and family-friendly games for Christian parents to purchase. The website attempted to run an advertisement on Facebook to promote its buying guide but the ad was refused by Mark Zuckerberg’s platform, the second largest digital advertiser in the world.

Christ Centered Gamer described the aim of its website in an email to Breitbart News stating: “When we review a game, we look at many factors, including gameplay, graphics, sound, stability, and controls, like many traditional reviews do.  From the moral perspective, we include violence, language, sexual content, occult/supernatural, and cultural/moral/ethical issues. ”

“As for sexual content, we point out any sex outside of Biblical marriage, including homosexual content.  Like other moral factors, we mention its presence and leave it up to the reader to decide if it’s for them or not.  Some readers may take offense to pointing these things out, but we strongly believe that following the Bible on what is right and wrong is very important to us.  On the flip side, it is often our attempt to be as objective as we can be that has drawn in many non-believers to our site.”

Christ Centered Gamer’s unique approach is to give video games separate scores for the two categories — a traditional gaming review score and a morality score. This has come to be appreciated even by non-religious gamers, who frequently struggle with progressive gaming blogs that mix politics with gaming.

Below is a screenshot of the advertisement provided by Christ Centered Gamer to Breitbart News. Below the advertisement, the words “Not Approved” can be seen highlighted in red, indicating that the ad was not approved to be shared on Facebook’s advertising network.

Breitbart News reached out to Facebook to question why Christ Centered Gamer’s advertisement was not allowed on the platform. Facebook responded that the refusal was, in fact, an “error.” A Facebook spokesperson told Breitbart News: “The ad was incorrectly rejected and we apologize for the error. We review millions of posts each week and sometimes we make mistakes. The ad is now live on Facebook.”

However, Christ Centered Gamer says they have yet to receive a notification that their advertisement is running on the platform. As of publication, the editorial staff of the site has not been contacted by Facebook.

Breitbart News will be following this story closely and updating as the situation develops.
