[In the last sandbox Bro Gregory cites a WaPo story that brings up the notion that large, violent caravans heading north for the US border might become the norm. My strong belief is that they will indeed become the norm if President Trump is not able to either get Mexico to disperse them before reaching the border, or that our border security fails (due to political pressures from our anti-American Left) and thousands of illegal new migrants suddenly find themselves successfully on American soil. gjr]

Trump quote:
“It has not been easy for me. It has not been easy for me. I started off in Brooklyn. My father gave me a small loan of a million dollars,” Trump remarked. “I came into Manhattan, and I had to pay him back, and I had to pay him back with interest. But I came into Manhattan and I started buying properties, and I did great.”
Here’s a summary of the recent report from the New York Times. From an article in the Business Insider.
“A new bombshell report from The New York Times on President Donald Trump’s finances questions his claim that he’s a self-made billionaire.
The report says that Trump’s father lent him about $60 million, far more than the “small loan” of $1 million he claimed during his presidential campaign that he had received.”
So is Trump lying George when he claims he was a self made millionaire based only on his 1 million dollar loan?

Elementary, my dear Watson. You must drop everything and reply to the control freak Popinjay right this very second or, else it’s proof positive you agree with him that Trump is liar and you are not only ok with that, but you condone such behavior. You silence speaks volumes. Be not miffed, my good fellow. Remember the ruckus over Melenia’s boarding shoes? Need say more?

Do you know how dumb the NYT must feel? They spent a whole year and devoted a lot of resources digging into Trump’s State taxes and his daddy’s taxes going back to the seventies even found some receipts from the sixties….and dropped that 1,000 page bombshell right in the middle of the Kavanaugh hearings, ROFLMAO. You can’t make this stuff up.
We have already vetted the story, sorry that our crack news hawks missed it. Guess they took their eyes off the ball. Boy, the Times must be pissed.. All that money they leveraged for their Oct. surprise and all for not. Not as pissed as Woodward as his book got blown off the front pages by one of Trump’s tweets or something. Definitely not as pissed as Omarosa when her book tour launch got usurped by the Big Bad Trump doing something that hogged all the air out of the room. She couldn’t even buy an interview.
I tell ya, that man’s political instincts are a sight to behold.
NYT’s story on a little helping hand from Trump’s Daddy? Mercy. Prep School boy. Trust fund baby, eh? That is sooooo September. Consensus reached, moved on, just residue from the road now.
They need to pay more attention over there on the Lefty seedy side of the street. Talk about recycling on Election Day of things. Ya, that sure swayed a whole bunch of voters. What’s next? The NYT disabled journalist? Guess it does pass the time going over the top 50 outrages.

The lobbying begins for Sessions’s successor….or Ruthie’s successor.
She is the daughter of an Alabama sharecropper. She attended segregated schools as a black woman, put herself through college and law school in California, and became an intellectual leader on both California’s highest court and what many call the nation’s second highest court––the D.C. Circuit––because of her deep faith in America’s innate goodness, and a family commitment to hard work.
Indeed, rather than come to Washington to seek a promotion, as some do, or linger on in the hopes that fate will tap her on the shoulder for higher office, as others do, Brown retired from the D.C. Circuit Court in 2017. Her career demonstrates that Trump could count on her to be completely focused on serving his priorities and the nation well, not her own…..

This woman from the Kayan Lahwi tribe identifies as a white male involved in RICCO Act violations; member of an organization that commits multiple crimes.

The Woman of the Kayan Lahwi tribe had folks block both ends of Tucker’s street to prevent LE from the scene, which is obstruction of justice, not to mention attempted breaking and entering as they broke and splintered the front door to the residence with the little lady and children cowering in fear inside. Luckily she did not fire off a shot as she would have legally been justified to do so as hooded criminals were trying to break down her font door. A real and clear present danger.
I would have killed someone within 4 seconds. Nothing personal. A mob of black hooded thugs breaking down the front door with children inside would have been a ride to the morgue for someone other than myself, wife, or children. We do have a right to defend our homes, property, family, and persons universally.
Whether the woman of the Kayan Lahwi tribe self identifies as a white male criminal or not is not he issue. Ricco Act is. Organized crime. Justice is looking into it.

Affirmative consent and college sexual relations.
“And perhaps most striking was the story Stontland related involving a girl who initiated oral sex with another of her clients but never gave a verbal “yes”: “If you go in somebody’s dorm room and she touches you, and places your penis in her mouth, she has not conveyed consent,” she said.
Tablet’s Rosenfield argued that the current fixation on affirmative consent promoted by many feminists is in fact damaging to the same women the movement seeks to defend.
”But if your goal is to protect women at all costs from feeling bad about their choices—because you don’t think they can handle it, and they probably don’t know what they want anyway—then we already have a word for that,” she wrote.
“It’s not feminism. It’s paternalism. And it denies women a fundamental if unglamorous freedom: to not just make decisions, but to live with and learn from the consequences of their less-than-great ones.”
