[Get ready for President Trump's speech from the Oval Office tonight in which he'll try to convince us that there is national security crisis on our southern border, and that spending money to reduce border porosity is now a national priority which the Constitution allows, nay, requires him to exercise executive powers to defend America against an unending influx of poor, ignorant, and destitute foreigners who are told they have the right to illegally enter the country and establish a new life in America. gjr]

The White House is urging outside allies to be prepared for another bruising confirmation battle should Ginsberg’s health take a sudden turn for the worse, according to four sources with knowledge of the overtures. Outside groups, led by the Federalist Society and the Judicial Crisis Network, played a leading role in helping to confirm Kavanaugh and, before that, Justice Neil Gorsuch.
The groups have advised the Trump team on everything from potential nominees to political and media strategy, producing television advertisements and blitzing reporters with supportive messaging. Together, the conservative groups spent over $7 million on ads supporting Kavanaugh’s nomination.

What is your source for that Toad, or did you just make it up? Perhaps Robert’s is recognizing that his job is beyond politics and legislating from the bench, as the Robert’s court has done on so many occasions prior, and the rule of law takes precedent over politics. Not uncommon for justices all of whom were originally chosen for their political/social views but many of whom later figured out what their job was really about, and it wasn’t the political agenda of the party that appointed them onto the court.

Well spoken George. That’s why we have elections to try to act from within some boundaries of practical reality. That’s why it should be of concern to the Republicans that Trump may be going beyond zone of popular acceptance and the party will be irrelevant as it is under his control. Polls do matter. Elections do matter. The Repubs lost 40 seats under Trumps leadership and he’s losing ground as we speak because of his wall stance. It took Obama two election cycles to loses it all and that seems to be the schedule. The difference is that Trump may loose his Presidency which would be a whole new level him being a one term President.

The city of San Francisco is not standing down in California’s latest water war, joining a lawsuit against the state on Thursday to stop it from directing more of the Sierra Nevada’s cool, crisp flows to fish instead of people.
City officials contend the State Water Board is overreaching with a new, sweeping plan to restore California’s depleted river system by limiting draws on such water supplies as San Francisco’s Hetchy Hetchy Reservoir in Yosemite. The plan, according to city estimates, will force Bay Area households to cut water use by 20 percent or more.
The city signed on to the lawsuit with several Central Valley farm communities, making for unlikely allies who rarely see eye-to-eye on water policy. But those communities also fear being hit with drastic water reductions. While the plaintiffs have been working with state officials to try to come up with a compromise, the water users don’t want to forfeit their right to a legal challenge. The deadline to sue is the end of the week.

Hello gentlemen and fine lady.
Finally Trump is taking his agrument for the Wall and Border Security to the American people. The longer the shutdown continues, the more Trump’s message gets out in public. You can bet your sweet bippie that Nanchuck and the entire Democrat Socialist Party does not want this debate to happen in public. They prefer the Border Crisis is talked about in private, behind closed doors, and neatly disappear as always.
As long as the shutdown continues, President Donald J. Trump will continue to take his message of the crisis directly to the American people through addresses, press conferences, and talking it to the American people. This is a good thing, a most necessary imperative.
The fakenews was busy today with their new narrative: this is a MANUFACTURED CRISIS! I beg to differ. President Obama did not think it was a manufactured crisis, not in the least.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QLhY6KkhEq0
Obama went on to say that unaccompanied minors would likely be turned way after processing. We all remember kids showing up at the porous border walking around with a phone number of a contact in the US pinned to their clothing, with no ID or their hometowns. We all remember Mexicans telling their kids as they were dumped off on the border to tell the Border Patrol they are from Central America.
The new wrinkle is that if minor show up with parents from countries Other than Mexico, the family gets in. The new wrinkle is that 90% of those who come from unaccompanied minors are themselves illegal aliens.
Bottomline: The Leftinistas do not want to stop illegal immigration. No way, no how. The longer Trump holds the debate in the public forum, the more folks are being persuaded that there is a big problem at the border and with illegal immigration…and the Left cannot reasonably defend their position and risk having their arguments being exposed as a g of horse pucky.

More made up fakenews from the Washington Compost. What can we be offended by today and who is the victim today? Wa Compost: The enemy of good journalism.
“But here’s the kicker. The Trump administration’s “downgrade” of the EU ambassador simply restores him to the spot in the diplomatic pecking order he held until 2016. For seven years, the Obama administration treated the EU ambassador as a second-class diplomat (or whatever).”
Did this bother the Washington Post? Were there any mainstream media stories about how Obama was slighting Europe? Not that I recall.
I was also amused by this passage in the Post’s story:
“No longer will the European Union be as exalted as equivalent to a country. Instead it will be back alongside the African Union, after the rest of the national ambassadors.”
You mean to tell me that Obama exalted the EU over the African Union? Does the Congressional Black Caucus know about this?
If Birnbaum and Hudson were more woke, they would be offended that the EU ambassador is offended that he no longer outranks his African counterpart. I thought such Euro-centrism was outdated, if not racist.

Is that why botox naccy and cryin chuck looked that way Tuesday, their out of gas?
President Trump is the voice of the American people. The press represents an elite who loathe the very word. They denigrate President Trump as a ‘populist,’ a word derived from the Latin word for “the people.’
With a growing economy, tax cuts, more jobs higher wages, better trade deals for the country, the appointment of conservative judges, peace negotiations with North Korea, a new Mideast policy and in advocating immigration reform, President Trump can honestly state he has covered the backs of the American people.
His feistiness is reminiscent of another outspoken president, Harry S.Truman.
Truman also ignored manufactured polls. During his 1948 campaign, which the press predicted Truman was supposed to lose, someone yelled out from the crowd he was addressing, “Give ‘em hell Harry!” which became a rallying cry. Trump’s campaign slogan should be “Tell it like it is, Trump” as he continues to speak and tweet the truth to the American people.
The Democratic Party is running on fumes. They are not articulating any policies for the advancement of our country. Democrats have substituted ideology for policy and slogans as a means of stifling any intelligent discussion.
Their response to President Trump’s address for a humanitarian wall to protect our borders was bereft of any substance and consisted of low demagoguery and personal attacks on the office of the president.
