[It appears that on the Left bank the Bush Derangement Syndrome is on the wane. In 'The Left Learns to Love Dubya' WSJ columnist Kim Strassel integrates this little change of mood into the overall national Trash Trump program.  Perhaps the locals have yet to get their new marching orders.  Speaking of locals, has anyone else noticed that several of our rightwing commenters seem to be losing their edge in their sandbox tete-a-tetes when their arguments regress to name-calling.  We're all getting older, and I guess time takes its toll. gjr]

    PE @ 437- That’s disgusting that a druid thinks he can lecture a Christian about their values he notoriously rejects. You are just projecting Shame, shame, shame on you good ol’ PE.
    Lets get ahead of poor ol’ PE’s next politically correct hero from huffpo. Huffpo is highlighting the case of a transgender illegal who has been deported 4 times as their latest sob story. The criminal illegal was picked up at a courthouse seeking a protective order on his boyfriend. That’s all you get from huffpo.
    Yet on the other reports its noted the criminal illegal confessed to money order fraud in Jan. after getting caught with his boyfriend breaking into mail drops, a federal felony. πŸ˜‰

    Sure do wish “jon” would come back and remind us how great uncontrolled immigration from Shitholeistan was going to be for Europe and Scandinavia.

    There’s been a complaint about my first report from Sweden.
    A reader is very angry because I suggested the child raped by a 45-year-old migrant (posing as an unaccompanied minor) was 14.
    In fact, he was 12.
    This is the state of liberalism today. So determined to prove I am wrong, my observations erroneous, the stories I have on tape inaccurate, that it has lost all sight of the raped migrant child crumpled in the corner.
    Similarly, the ‘we know better brigade’ are so puffed up with smug self-importance as they point out Trump got his dates confused over the troubles in Sweden, they can’t see past their own chest to the riots in Rinkeby.
    Where cars were set alight, shops looted and shopkeepers beaten while youths went on the rampage.
    I asked Mattias Karlsson, leader of the Swedish Democrats – currently leading in the polls – why other politicians refuse to acknowledge the problems right in front of their eyes.
    He explained that to accept there is a problem would mean accepting nearly 80 years of liberal thinking was wrong. That multiculturalism doesn’t work, that mass immigration does not lead to integration, that Sweden has made a big mistake.
    A stranger came up to me in a coffee shop to say much the same thing. She had read my first report. She implored me to shout louder.
    She said Sweden cannot go on pretending it is some kind of utopia. That it is on a path to fail, that her friends fear Sweden is being overwhelmed.
    The fears are real. The areas migrants inhabit have become sink suburbs, riddled with no-go zones, even for the police, where hand-grenade attacks are the accepted norm, women stay indoors, and the ambulances and fire engines need police escorts. God help any good people forced to live here.

    There are 850,000 illegals who broke into our country that have already been ordered deported in a court of law. They are still here. Then there are the criminals who not only broke into our country, they committed criminal acts while here now sitting in jails and prisons. That is the low hanging fruit.
    Until Congress comes up with a law affecting amnesty for Dreamers, they are in our country without permission.
    Funny, immigration lawyers are like DUI lawyers. Waste of money unless there are extenuating circumstances. The Consultants are telling illegals that unless you have a current valid visa, green card, or work permit, or a special category, no can help you. You will be deported.

    Nice to see Paul struggle to take the moral highground. The defense of last resort and trump card. Who can argue with that? Certainly not the taxpayers!
    This reminds me of welfare reform. No benefits for illegals. Then the press rushed out and found a 80 year old blind Polish woman who would starve to death if we cut off her food stamps! Hmmm. Here 30 years and never once applied for legal status. 30 years here and never lifted a finger to come out of the shadows….until her benefits were threatened.. Have we no heart?

    Liberal logic. The NYT wrote a piece about Sessions (of course!) and quoted fellow Armed Service Committee member Senator Claire McC. She said she has been on the committee for 10 years and never met with the Russian Ambassador. Then two tweets surfaced over two different time periods of Claire boasting about meeting with the Russian Ambassador.
    So, what does the NYT do?? Print the evidence that Claire lied to the American people? No. The NYT reprinted the article with….drumroll please…..with no reference to Claire’s original comments, lol. Too funny. Liberals are the biggest threat to democracy.
    Poor Claire is upset. This year the DNC will not automatically anoint her and now she might…..gasp!…..might have to face a primary challenger. Good gawd, you mean she might have to campaign in the primary? But, but, but…the DNC is supposed to protect her. Foul! The game is supposed to be rigged. What the heck is going on!!

    The “this is going on” is usually the heart breaking picture of the Syrian boy washing ashore on the Greek rocks. Boy, that one picture was justification to lose an entire continent to those who feel morally and righteously superior to their gracious hosts, but I digress.
    Then the comments follow all stating Christians are worse than terrorists, need to be killed, white people suck, and are phonies….and racists. The Bible was written by old white men so add sexist and misogynistic. It gets worse when La Raza (The Race) joins in and brags about taking back the land the White Imperialists stole from Meeh-he-co, that land being much greater in size than CA, Texas, and the entire Southwest. Odd. Then BLM jumps in on the hate the Clingers and of course, check your frigging White Privelge at the door. Hmmm.

    My response to Terry Lamphier’s column. He is getting his ass kicked by a few folks.
    He certainly has the right to posit his opinions here but is it smart? Probably not. But his points are certainly easy to refute and some have responded to ensure that his points don’t go unchallenged. Trump may be aggressive and tough to the weak-kneed and simple minded but that is a leadership quality. I like a man that fights back against the liars. And the democrats are the liars. Sure Trump is not perfect but he sure is showing he stands for something and it is all about America and the forgotten man and woman. The left has decided they want a country of groups and they pit them against each other. If we are to be a strong and lasting nation the left has to get onboard the PATRIOT TRAIN and swear allegiance to America. Not some other culture or country. America first is what we long for. We are tired of the Kapernicks and Pelosi’s denigrating fellow Americans. I would rather they shut up than spew their hatred. California is a perfect example of what the difference between a democrat run government and a republican run government means. Mr Lamphier has it all backwards as far as I can tell and I, as a armchair quarterback disagree with all his conclusions.

    Scenes. Yes, it is Whack-A-Mole.
    Paul may take some comfort in this. Who knows? Too early to tell, but the signs point to obeying the existing law and making a humanitarian exception for the estimated 700,000 Dreamers. A blanket amnesty for 4 million illegals is out of the question today. Been there, done that. Time will tell.
    Like a kid bringing home a cute puppy or kitten and promising with all their little hearts they will take care of it, the promises ring hallow in short order. We were promised before border security/control if we pass amnesty (Reagen’s amnesty for 2.3? million illegals in our country) and then taking care of border control never happened. Fool me once….
    Let’s talk more AFTER we establish we are indeed a sovereign nation. Border control before “reform”.
    “The Trump order specifically excluded Dreamersβ€”illegals brought here as childrenβ€”from threat of deportation, effectively continuing Obama’s 2012 DACA exception. That’s widely popular: Americans don’t like punishing children for the sins of their parents.”

    Yes, nobody wants to throttle down Mr. Lampier’s right to say what he pleases. No problem in the least. Perhaps in the current irrational climate of PETSD here in the Darkest Deep Blue jungles of California, it might be the absolute perfect timing for Mr. Lampier to speak his mind and be a spokesperson for the Alt-Leftistas. With all the meltdown going on, a window of opportunity has open for Terry.
    With the niceties aside, let’s look at Mr. Lampier’s words:
    “If you can’t trust government, science, intelligence agencies, the media, institutions of higher learning … even your own senses when the President directly contradicts himself, where do you go?”
    Well, unless one is just coming out of a long deep coma, I would say the mistrust of government, science, Intel agencies, the media, and institutions of higher learning is a quite rational conclusion based on a mountain of evidence gleamed from recent events.

    We need a special prosecutor, Trump phone hacked by Obama Government Hackers:
    This scandal cries out for aggressive investigation. Let’s see the initial FISA application, and the court order denying it. Then let’s see the second application, and the order that approved it. Let’s put the Obama administration officials who signed the applications under oath, and find out who put them up to it. Let’s find out what judges denied the first application, and what judges granted the second one. Let’s get the details on the Obama administration’s spying. Did they tap the Trump campaign’s telephones? If so, which lines? Did they hack into the Trump campaign’s servers? If so, which ones?
    Obviously, as President Trump said, the Obama administration learned nothing of significance from its spying on the Trump campaign. But it now appears that the election of 2016 may have been hacked after all, in a far more meaningful way than an intrusion into Debbie Wasserman-Schultz’s email account. It may have been hacked by the Obama administration. We need to find out what happened. Congress should give top priority to this investigation.

    Trumpercare wants to raise your rates 22% . Rejoice!
    Older Americans could have to pay more. Enrollees in their 50s and early 60s benefited from Obamacare because insurers could only charge them three times more than younger policy holders. The bill would widen that band to five-to-one.
    That would mean that adults ages 60 to 64 would see their annual premiums soar 22%, or nearly $3,200, to nearly $18,000, according to a study by the Milliman actuarial firm on behalf of the AARP Public Policy Institute. Those in their 50s would be hit with a 13% increase, or just over $1,500, and pay an annual premium of $12,800.
    Also, the GOP bill doesn’t provide them as generous tax credits as Obamacare. A 60-year-old making $40,000 would get only $4,000 from the Republican plan, instead of an average subsidy of $6,750 from the Affordable Care Act, according the Kaiser study.
