[WASHINGTON—President Trump is elevating the issue of immigration, which drove his 2016 campaign, with the aim of animating Republican voters in a midterm election that threatens to derail his agenda if Democrats retake the House.  Mr. Trump’s latest comments came Thursday as he warned about an “onslaught” of migrants reaching the southern U.S. border with Mexico and threatened to deploy the military if the caravan isn’t stopped.]

    Victor Hansen Davis nails it. Wish I could articulate the point 1/4th as well as he does. I do laugh now and then when our white grumpy old liberals go on and on about the dreaded “White Priilege” because I know they will be thrown in the wood chipper in due time by their pupils. They will not be exempt. History repeats itself. Whether you look at the Russian Civil War, The Khmer Rouge, the French Revolution, Mao Tse-Tung, Castro, fill in the blank….they always go after the “intellectuals”. The children will eat their parents.
    Too many money quotes to list. Great read, IMHO.

    See, here is your basic problem in a nutshell.
    https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/23/politics/donald-trump-nationalism/index.html
    Donald Trump used a word he’s ‘not supposed to.’
    …because it’s bad to be a nationalist.
    I admit that it feels odd to share a country with people who don’t have their fellow citizens’ interests at heart. Watching your back can get exhausting.

    @ 4:02 pm…..another view. The 2020 Election began on Monday night in Houston:
    Trump 2020 will be Trump 2016 on Steriods: 🙂
    “He mercilessly attacked Democratic leaders, calling Rep. Maxine Waters a “low-I.Q. individual” and savaging Sen. Elizabeth Warren, whose recent DNA test revealed she has about as much Native American ancestry as the average white person. Warren, he said, “was exposed as a total fraud. I can no longer call her Pocahontas because she has no Indian blood. She doesn’t qualify.”
    “He also hit everything else, if only in passing: preserving religious liberty, respecting law enforcement, appointing judges who respect the Constitution, ensuring that schools teach children to be proud of their country. At the end of one such rant, as if to sum it all up, he declared, “We kneel in prayer and stand for the national anthem.” Of course the crowd went wild.
    But the crowd understood the purpose of the exercise—and they were game for playing along. They thrilled at every applause line, booed at every mentioned of the hated Democrats. At the mention of the “fake news media,” they thundered in unison, “CNN sucks!” for nearly a minute. (Music to me ears)
    http://thefederalist.com/2018/10/23/trumps-rally-houston-preview-2020/
    Scenes, CNN is soooo depressing. The ole glum lot, the gloom and doomers, the naysayers. No wonder nobody wants to be around them. Same for those who think the Old Grey Lady is the definitive word and last say on the matter.

    Put that stuff out of your mind, put on your Mega cap, and let’s do the Lord of the Flies dance, chanting in unison, “Nationalist, Nationalist, nationist”. Maybe light a torch to get Steve and M and Tricky the Pig Farmer’s tongues a’ waggin. It’s more fun that way. Oh yeah, they really hate being referred to as the mob. They take offense to that word and characterization, lol. Kill the Mob, Kill the Beast, Kill the Beastly Mob.

    OF course socialists like free stuff –
    Corey’s lawyer, Chris Kise, released the records today, just two weeks before the election, because the state ethics commission issued a subpoena for the records just last week.
    The text messages show that, contrary to what his campaign has said, Gillum knew the tickets came from “Mike Miller,” who was an FBI agent posing as a developer looking into city corruption.
    “Mike Miller and the crew have tickets for us for Hamilton tonight at 8 p.m.,” Corey texted Gillum on Aug. 10, 2016.
    “Awesome news about Hamilton,” Gillum replied, according to the records.

    “If the FBI did not disclose that evidence to the FISA court a month later when it sought the surveillance warrant, it likely committed a grave abuse that furthers the narrative that this probe was infected more by politics than evidence.”

    Hey! It appears the Union has banned me from commenting onlinefor 30 days. They are calling me a troll. Of course I am not but that is the way they can keep my ideas and voice from being heard. I simply am political and of course the other side comes after me all the time. I am like Trump in that if you attack me I hit back twice as hard. Hit as in comments and ords. This week I was threatened with bodily injury by a commenter and I turned it in to the Union and the Sheriff. The results are they banned ME! You cannot make this stuff up. So I will use the FB groups and connections to get the conservative messages out as best I cam. I told the Editor of the Union that he is simply biased and with only two more weeks until the election he thinks it will be good to silence me on their venue. I have asked why the attackers of moi are still there and of course I get a generic answer. Besides, not one comment I made was cited. I did call a communist a communist and that upset the Union but hey when it walks like a duck! So I will be off the Union for 30 days and now maybe even longer since their bias is against the right.

    Oh Todd, consider yourself lucky. There are a lot better places than that to be booted from….er….account temporary suspended. Yubetube banned Diamonds and Silk for being a threat to the community, lol. I could go on and on. The Lefties are bullies and illiberal. Fascists. Contrary opinions not appreciated. And they bear false witness about you and turn you in for…..not being nice. It’s all your fault. You are a bad person. Berry, berry bad. And uppity to boot. You best know your place. It’s for your own good, stud muffin. 🙂
    I can’t post either, but it’s a glitch and I refuse to call and have them throw the switch. It’s what Dr. Rebane found out. One day you can post, next day it says you have to be signed in to post….hey, I am signed in because I am behind the paywall, you grunt sandwiches. And even if I sign out of my account and log back in, its still a no-go. I also refuse to sign up for their news with all those advertisers which solved the problem last time. Heck, I just read the police blotter and the occasional opinion piece when brought to my attention on this site. I sorta like it that way, but that’s just me.
    I haven’t checked out Pelline’s blog but once months ago. Forgot the name of it. Never go to Crabbs and maybe three months ago I skimmed Roadkill one night. In fact, I finally noticed that Dr. Rebane removed his links to other sites and I have no idea how long that has gone missing. That tells you something cause I used those links to check those other places out….on occasion, but not lately.
    In fact, when somebody gave me a heads up about somebody saying I am 51-50 somewhere, I never bothered to check it out. “Frankly my dear, I just don’t give a damn.” Hmmm. Bet it was the Baltimore Foot Stomper video targeted to my dearly departed
    Melnna Stiletto👠👠 Freakout Popinjay dude. Some folks just don’t recognize genius.:)
    Todd, I do visit your site and actually read your posts which good and timely. And if I am feeling mischievous, I will make a targeted comment that gets the Pillsbury Dough Boy or some designated reader running over here the next day in a contraire mood….or whoever is on call that night. Works everytime, never has failed. Even do it here sometimes. Just click your heels together and say ‘Mob’ three times. 51-50? “Welcome to my parlor, said the spider to the fly”. They been punked.
    It’s all good Todd. Consider yourself now a proud member of the Dangerous Faggot Tour. It’s all good considering who they are.

    Todd 6:11 The Union isn’t biased to the left Todd. The fact that they regularly publish the absurd right wing talking points as submitted by the local extreme right wing noise makers and their wives is proof. Do the wives really write those columns or do their husbands just use their names to get around the ‘once a month publication’ rule? I would submit that The Union is, in fact, biased to the right. I know several different people who have submitted letters to the editor that have never gotten published, yet the same old right wing voices show up like clockwork, month after month. Apparently there is only a small handful of rightwing commenters who can write a cohesive sentence or make a cogent point as the blog posts on RR testify. Then there is the instant barrage of mean spirited BS responses to any MOR or left leaning writings from the public in general. You weren’t banned for your politics. You were banned because you lack the ability to form intelligent rebuttals and instead resort to the kind of bullying and trash talk one would hear on an elementary school playground. They banned you because you are an embarrassment and your “I know you are but what am I” comments cause way more damage to the extreme rightwing causes you espouse than good.

    Climate change is not a hoax, as the climate has been changing since the earth was created. The hoax is the idea and messaging from then left that CO2 is the climate control knob and humans can change the climate by controlling a few parts per million of greenhouse gases generated by humans. The sun, oceans, and water vapor (clouds) control the climate on this planet and humans cannot control any of these. The strategy of our surviving ancestors was to adapt, once they stopped killing witches who they claimed were cooking [controling] the weather.

    Russ 1258pm – Russ, I admire your persistence to educate, and now and then I’m guilty of it myself. But for the Left, especially their innumerate cohort, ‘climate change’ is a mantra to be repeated and understood in its black&white utter simplicity. It’s either an epochal change caused by humans, and therefore totally preventable, or the earth’s climate has been a constant for eons – nothing in between. So to be a skeptic about preventable man made global warming, in their mind, makes one an unbeliever and a knuckle dragging Neanderthal. Their scriptures allow neither science nor nuances to inject doubt, let alone another possible science-supported view of the currently changing climate.

Former FBI Assistant Director Chris Swecker told Fox News that the mailed makeshift bombs could have been the work of someone “trying to get the Democratic vote out,” Mediaite reported.
    “And as you correctly pointed out earlier, this doesn’t necessarily mean someone is espousing some sort of conservative ideology and targeting Democrats,” Swecker told Fox News co-host Melissa Francis. “It could be someone who is trying to get the Democratic vote out and incur sympathy.”
