Watch–Mo Brooks: Democrats Demand $15 Minimum Wage While Supporting ‘Tsunami’ of Wage-Crushing Immigration

Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) says “Socialist Democrats” are advocating a $15 minimum wage while supporting a “tsunami of illegal alien labor” that crushes the wages of American workers.

During a speech on the House floor, Brooks blasted Democrat proponents of a $15 minimum wage for their support of wage suppression via the country’s mass illegal and legal immigration policy that brings more than 1.5 million mostly low-skilled foreign nationals to the U.S. every year to compete for jobs and lower wages for America’s working and middle class.

Brooks said:

Socialist Democrats support open borders. Open borders mean a literal tsunami of illegal alien labor that artificially inflates the labor supply and suppresses American wages. This is Economics 101. [Emphasis added]

If the supply goes up, everything else being constant, the price goes down. The way to raise wages is simple. America must stop importing cheap foreign labor that takes American jobs from American workers and suppresses the wages of hard-working Americans who need that money for their families. [Emphasis added]

The question is, do we care enough about American family incomes to secure our borders and stop the flood of illegal alien labor that suppresses American wages? Of course not. Instead, there are those who seek an imperial decree for a $15/hour minimum wage. [Emphasis added]

Brooks noted Congressional Budget Office (CBO) analysis which estimates that nearly four million American workers will lose their jobs due to an increase of the minimum wage to $15.

“The policies being advocated today really are advocating the firing of as many as 3.7 million American workers from their jobs,” Brooks said. “That’s like firing the entire population of the State of Oklahoma … If the advocates of this legislation really cared about American workers, they would not fire them.”

Extensive research by economists like George Borjas and analyst Steven Camarota reveals that the country’s current mass legal immigration system burdens U.S. taxpayers and America’s working and middle class while redistributing about $500 billion in wealth every year to major employers and newly arrived immigrants. Similarly, research has revealed how Americans’ wages are crushed by the country’s high immigration levels.

For every one-percent increase in the immigrant portion of American workers’ occupations, their weekly wages are cut by about 0.5 percent, Camarota finds. This means the average native-born American worker today has his weekly wages reduced by perhaps 8.75 percent.

Today, about 17.5 percent of the American workforce is made up of foreign born workers. About 7.8 million of these foreign born workers are illegal aliens living in the U.S., according to the latest analysis by Pew Research Center.

CNN’s Chris Cuomo Loses His Cool, Repeatedly Demands Trump is Racist — Get’s Wrecked By Kayleigh McEnany

CNN’s Chris Cuomo couldn’t hold it together on Wednesday night’s Cuomo Primetime while interviewing Trump 2020 Campaign National Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany.

Cuomo appeared to completely lose his mind as he repeatedly demanded to know if McEnany would still support President Trump if he declared that he was a racist. McEnany refused to answer the absurd question, which visibly frustrated the CNN talking head.

“Kayleigh, if the president said ‘the reason I’m saying these things is because I’m a racist,’ I know he hasn’t said that, I know he doesn’t believe that — hypothetically, if he said that, would it change your support for him?” Cuomo asked.

McEnany responded by telling the CNN host that it was absurd for him to “even ask that question.” She pointed out that the Democrats have been attempting to paint the president as a racist since June of 2015, when he first came down the escalator to announce that he was running.

Still, Cuomo kept interrupting her and demanding to know why she wouldn’t answer the question.

“I’m not going to play these games,” an exasperated McEnany finally declared. “I won’t allow you to attach a label to the president, even hypothetically, that is patently false and untrue.”

Cuomo, growing more visibly angry, demanded, “how is it patently false when what he just said is patently racist?”

McEnany went on to list the ways in which Trump has shown that he is not racist over the years — and noting how the perception of him only changed “when you at CNN, and others, started calling him a racist. That is false. It is untrue. President Trump’s history defeats that.” As the host kept interrupting, she held her ground and asserted that they continuously take him out of context.

BOVARD: Planned Parenthood Has Revealed Its True Self For The World To See

One unanticipated side effect of the political moment we are currently living through is that it has made all participants very honest — particularly Democrats and leftists.

The party that, for years, eye-rolled at allegations of socialism is now practically being run by a self-identified Democratic Socialist. Democratic candidates for president are open and eager to eliminate private health insurance, embracing a position even further to the left than systems in the United Kingdom and Canada. All 10 candidates in the second Democrat debate last month went on record supporting open borders. And Bernie Sanders earnestly believes that most Americans actually want to pay more in taxes.

In just the latest episode of truth-telling this week, Planned Parenthood is finally giving up its long-running charade as a women’s health organization and is admitting that it is merely a for-profit abortion advocacy group.

The organization publicly dismissed its president over “philosophical differences.” Those differences, according to a letter posted by the ousted head, Dr. Leana Wen, stem from the fact that Wen apparently thought she was working for a women’s healthcare organization that also performed abortions — rather than an abortion advocacy organization with an overtly political agenda.

“I came to Planned Parenthood to run a national healthcare organization,” Wen said in her resignation letter. “The new board has determined that the priority of Planned Parenthood moving forward is to double down on abortion rights advocacy.”

This is a startling admission from Planned Parenthood, which for years has insisted that it is, first and foremost, focused on an all-encompassing view of women’s health. “This is health care,” claimed a recent public relations campaign. The group has maintained for years that abortion only constitutes 3% of its services.

In Wen, Planned Parenthood found an unapologetic advocate for abortion services. However, she also reportedly balked at the rapacious way the organization wanted to advocate, and celebrate, abortions — in addition to its emphatic embrace of a deeply progressive over-arching philosophy. According to reporting from BuzzFeed, Wen routinely deleted the word “sexual” from the phrase “sexual and reproductive healthcare” in Planned Parenthood press releases and documents, and resisted using abortion as a stand-alone term — adding “abortion care” or rewording it entirely.

Wen also apparently refused to use “trans-inclusive” language, like saying “people,” instead of “women,” and worried that such a progressive posture would “isolate people in the Midwest.”

All of this, including alleged mismanagement, led to Wen’s dismissal.

Her departure comes on the heels of Planned Parenthood stating it is “not going to comply” with new rules from the Trump administration, which block federal funds from organizations that refer women for abortion. After stating for years that this money was critical to its healthcare mission of breast cancer screenings, wellness exams, and screening for sexually transmitted diseases, Planned Parenthood is now forgoing the funds — solely so it can continue to refer women for abortions.

In taking these steps, Planned Parenthood finally unmasks itself as the abortion-focused advocacy group it has always been, and joins the Democratic Party in being honest about the terms of the abortion debate in America.

Abortion that is “safe, legal, and rare” — the mantra of the Clinton years — has been enthusiastically replaced by abortion that is unlimited, unrestricted, and unregulated. Earlier this year, 44 Senate Democrats went on the record opposing medical care to infants born alive after a botched abortion. Democrats for president are now attacking consensus policies which, for decades, have prevented Congress from using taxpayer money for abortion.

The Democrats and their allies are no longer hiding behind a veil of moderation when it comes to abortion. At least they’re finally being honest with voters about it.

New Poll Shreds ‘Squad,’ Even ICE More Popular Than 4 Congresswomen

According to recent polling, “the squad” of four outspoken leftist congresswomen are “toxic” to the Democratic Party and far less popular among voters than the liberal establishment media has portrayed them to be. The group of freshmen representatives — comprised of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, and…

Trump Rips AOC for Calling America ‘Garbage’: ‘I Think That’s Worse’ than ‘Deplorables’

President Trump ripped the far-left members of the Squad during Wednesday night’s rally in Greenville, North Carolina and took shots at ringleader Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), particularly for calling contemporary America “garbage,” noting that the comment might be worse than Hillary Clinton’s infamous “deplorables” gaffe.

Trump went after Ocasio-Cortez – shortened to “Cortez” for the sake of brevity – for launching “outrageous” attacks against U.S. border agents, and he called out Democrats for refusing to initially acknowledge the humanitarian crisis on the southern border.

“So Cortez also– she said essentially Nazis are running concentration camps,” Trump said to a chorus of boos.

“And when Mike Pence went down just a few days ago with members of Congress and the media, and you look at those so-called horrible concentration camps, they said, ‘Wow. These places are clean. Wow. They have air conditioning. They have water,’” he continued.

“These people come from rough places, and I’ll tell you what. Some of them said we’ve never lived like this before. They have water. They have air-conditioning. They have things they have never seen,” he said before slamming Ocasio-Cortez for perpetuating the lie that migrants are forced to drink from toilets.

“And we listen to her talking about drinking water from toilets, which was a lie, which was a lie,” Trump said, triggering additional boos.

From there, Trump called out the New York lawmaker for putting illegal immigrants above American citizens.

“Cortez said that illegal immigrants are more American than any person who seeks to keep them out, ever will be. Can you believe that?” Trump asked. “That’s what she said.”

“She described contemporary America as – that’s you, that’s me, that’s all of us– as ‘garbage.’ Remember deplorables? That sounds worse. I think that’s worse. But we’ll save it for whoever’s going to be the nominee,” he added.

During an appearance at the South by Southwest Conference in Austin, Texas in March, Ocasio-Cortez said (emphasis added):

I think the thing that is really hard for people to sometimes see is that when we are on this path of a slow erosion and a slow, slow, slow, just like move away from what we’ve always been … you know, you won’t even realize that you’ve drifted a hundred miles. So, when someone’s talking about our core, it’s like ‘oh this is radical,’ but this isn’t radical, this is what we’ve always been.

“It’s just that now we’ve strayed so far away from what has really made us powerful, and just, and good, and equitable, and productive. And so I think all of these things sound radical compared to where we are, but where we are is not a good thing. And this idea of like 10 percent better from garbage, is, shouldn’t be what we settle for. It’s like this like—it feels like ‘moderate’ is not a stance, it’s just an attitude toward life of like ‘hmmm.’

In January, the freshman Democrat told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow that illegal immigrants who are “trying to seek refuge and seek opportunity in the United States of America with nothing but the shirt on their backs are acting more American than any person who seeks to keep them out ever will be.”

EPA Finalizes the Affordable Clean Energy Rule, Replacing Clean Power Plan

EPA Finalizes the Affordable Clean Energy Rule, Replacing Clean Power PlanThe Affordable Clean Energy Rule (ACE) provides a plan for states to make realistic assessments and upgrade their power plants with clean technologies so that they can operate in a more environmentally friendly manner. ACE refocuses the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on sound science, transparency, supply diversity, and the rule of law, rather than bureaucratic overreach and politics. Obama’s Clean Power Plan, which ACE replaces, was never implemented. The United States Supreme Court stopped the rule, partly due to claims from over half the states that they would suffer “irreparable injury” without intervention. The stay on implementation was an extraordinary step for the Supreme Court, which many Court-watchers at the time said indicated displeasure with a vast rule with enormous consequences.

Trump draws blood from the Four Horsewomen of the Apocalypse

Revelations is the last book in the New Testament. It portends the end of days, created by four men on horseback. It was foretold they created chaos through pestilence, war, famine and death.

This script has been played out through millennia. Sometimes civilization is set back centuries. Sometimes the evil is vanquished swiftly – but never without cost. Thankfully, the final knockout blow has not yet been cast.

We are now seeing the latest incarnation of the apocalypse: the four horsewomen are Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Omar Ilhan, Rashida Talib and Ayanna Presley, malevolent Congressional Representatives who refer to themselves as the “Squad.”

YouTube screen grab.

Not in the benign colloquial sense of social media influencers or pop stars with female entourages. Not in the rah-rah sense of a cheerleading or sports team. Rather this squad is the modern version of the Nazi death camps, and China’s, Russia’s and Cuba’s re-educational drives, mass population relocations and imprisonment and murder of dissidents.

Their goal is not the immediate destruction of the whole world. Their immediate goal is the destruction of America. If America falls, so goes civilization as we now know it. They have fertilized the ground in Western Europe. And while Americans were busy pointing “over there,” the seeds of our own destruction were being planted under our myopic eyes, as a brainwashed youth increasingly support the elimination of sovereignty, the Constitution, rule of law, and capitalism.

The Squad’s war is espoused through their vile, disdainful anti- American philosophies, anti-rule of law, ugly anti-Semitism and concomitant dismissal of the beliefs of others — be they President Trump, Amazon, elected Republican officials or anyone of “color” who disagrees with them. Their handmaidens include US universities, tax-funded entities who have facilitated their lies of BDS, anti/Semitism, and white male privilege; media who provide a platform for their propaganda; and, a heretofore mostly somnambulant public who couldn’t believe “it could happen here.”  They are also emboldened by the cowardly silence of the Democrats in Congress, and weak Democrat Presidential candidates who race to the moral bottom to follow them.

Due to their destructive policies on illegal immigration, welcoming illegals — criminal or otherwise — while ignoring the American homeless in California, pestilence has re-emerged. Human waste is polluting ground water. Concomitantly, certain diseases previously eradicated, such as measles and chickenpox, have resurfaced.

War is not just armed combat. It is also the stealing of one’s power. The Four Horsewomen, until Trump pushed back, had stolen our power. They had stolen it by abridging our right to free speech through their insidious implementation of political correctness, extreme distortions of history, and their outright lies about Palestine.

After all, we have heard for years that “people of color” cannot be racist. Heretofore, if a minorities were challenged on a political or cultural statement, their response was always the same: you are a racist, a sexist, Islamophobic, a toxic male, a privileged white male and/or an harasser.

This power grab has been accompanied with violent random attacks against Republicans from their muscle group, Antifa. These tactics also suppressed the wearing of Trump themed campaign products in public, for fear of physical attack; many other pro-Trump voices have been silenced for the same fear of violence.

And then Trump tweeted. And bellowed. And doubled down in more tweets and at a rally. He fought back. And he drew blood. Not literally, but figuratively.

They may not know it yet, but President Trump has knocked the four horsewomen off their steeds.

He has signaled that the double standard regarding racism is over. He has eviscerated the myth that people of color can’t be racist. They are. He has stripped them of the knee-jerk power of their false accusations of racism, harassment, gender bias, toxic male, and white male privilege.

And by so doing, Trump’s approval ratings have gone up.

Of course, this battle for America’ soul is not yet over. But a seismic shift in attitude is ”trending” well. All thanks to President Trump’

Politician Pushing ‘Gender Neutral’ Toilets Charged with Child Sex Crimes

A politician who pushed for the introduction of “gender neutral” toilets shortly after his election has been charged with nine counts of sexual touching of a child.

David Smith successfully petitioned the Mayor of Middlesborough to trial gender neutral toilets at Middlesbrough Council shortly after his election to the local authority in Teeside, Yorkshire, as a politician representing the Conservative Party, according to the BBC.

Councillor Smith resigned from the notionally right-leaning party — described as “not really conservative” by Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage in a recent interview with Breitbart News — with “immediate effect in light of the allegations” against him.

He added that he “completely reject[s]” the “spurious allegations”, however, claiming that he was only “removing myself from the party [to] ensure I can focus all my efforts on fighting to clear my name.”

Nevertheless, reports suggest he intends to remain on the council — allowing him to continue receiving a reported £6,378 in basic allowance — for the time being.

Smith said he had “worked hard to ensure I serve the people of Coulby Newham” — the ward to which he was elected only around two months ago — “to the best of my ability.”

The 30-year-old claimed “tackling the issue of pot holes”, “ordering bollards to be installed”, and “being a very proud advocate of the local LGBTQ community” as career highlights.

“This is who I am as a person and a community activist,” he said, insisting that “The allegations made against my character are nothing more than damaging lies and moving forward, I will seek to prove this is the case in a court of law.”

Smith was previously the subject of controversy when it emerged that he had suggested the country has issues with “rotten pond life families that should be sterilised and washed” while posting on an association football forum under the moniker “Smoggy89”.

A spokesman for Cleveland Police confirmed that Smith it “due to appear at Teesside Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday 7 August.”
