[Does anyone know what leverage would Trump have to get Dems to agree to border security funding were he to agree on first giving them all they want on illegal aliens in a bill that would also terminate the shutdown?  gjr]

    It really is remarkable. I never thought that the War Party, especially the newfangled open borders version, would get knocked off the dais for a while. Personally, I think that the rot in the West is too deep for a single politician to correct, but ya never know.

    Trump wants 5.9 Billion, one time, for construction. The federal government spends that amount every 10 hours and will continue to spend at least that much every 10 hours in perpetuity. Build the ‘effin wall now and get it over with. L

    re: L@9:13
    Obviously it ain’t the money. Trump could be asking for $500 for the wall and the same thing would result.
    This is the shadow government pushing back. The Wall is more symbolic at this point than it is real.
    Personally, I’d like to see Trump go all the way on it. Close the .gov for 6 months if need be. Maybe throw a few dollars at the Coast Guard in the meantime.

    The enemy of the people: Fakenews deliverec by real people…bad people.
    The old Grey Lady (and his Lardship) are only interested in protecting themselves, not in the seeking the truth, fairness, or accuracy. My, they make the term “journalistic ethics” sound so quaint.
    “At 8:30 yesterday morning, as I was typing this essay, The New York Times emailed me. The subject line was “Ethics Reminders for Freelance Journalists.” (I have occasionally published essays and reviews in the Times). It informed me, inter alia, that the Times expected all of its journalists, both freelance and staff, “to protect the integrity and credibility of Times journalism.” This meant, in part, safeguarding the Times’ “reputation for fairness and impartiality.”
    I am prompted to issue my own ethics reminders for The New York Times. Here they are: You were partly responsible for the election of Trump because you are the most influential newspaper in the country, and you are not fair or impartial. Millions of Americans believe you hate them and that you will casually harm them. Two years ago, they fought back against you, and they won. If Trump wins again, you will once again have played a small but important role in that victory.”

    And the damage to their credibility will be lasting.

    Candace Owens, Jesse Kelly, and Roger Stone are just a few of the users banned either permanently or temporarily, sometimes for speech labeled “harassment,” and sometimes for no given reason at all. It is not just a coincidence that all of these names are associated with alternative political views, and yet someone who espouses similar hate speech on Twitter but the “correct” political views is never punished.

    It is time to stop the circus. America is under a cloud as our once very trusted FBI has become a rogue organization of government power. All these millions of dollars spent by the Special Counsel of Mueller have brought nothing to the fore. Only a bunch of Russians and of course they won’t be coming here anytime soon. Americans indicted would never have been so if they were not Trump acquaintances. The “witch hunt” is real and many lives are disrupted and bankrupted with this phony baloney investigation.
    I suggest the investigation be stopped and all the people involved sent home. Nothing to see here. But what Mueller is doing has been done in numerous movies over the years. Can’t find the principal being investigated guilty of anything? Then smear him/her with allegations and distractions. Mueller is a disgrace and his tactics belong in the old KGB and Statsi Secret police of the now gone East German Communist state.
    The problem I see is the government secret police are trying to find a crime where none exists. So they do all these socalled “process” crime indictments. They quiz people over and over and if you don’t say the same thing they charge you with perjury or lying to to the FBI. This is “show trial” crap that banana republics are known for. America is better than this and that is why this “investigation” must end now. It is making American justice no better than a dictatorship.
    I recall listening to Candidate Trump say in a humorous statement, “Hey Russia, if you find the emails contact the press”. That is what started this witch hunt. All based on a humorous comment.
    Americans of good will are fed up with all this crap and the Attorney General needs to end it now. I can tell you it will go on forever and it is being done to discredit Trump and cause him top lose in 2020 or to resign. If the left thinks these things being done to Trump won’t happen to them they are crazy. All Americans need to say STOP!

    Play it again Sam. When Peter went to interview Flynn, they already had the tapes of everything Flynn said to the Russian Ambassador. They did not go to see Flynn over any crime because it was perfectly acceptable, legal, and expected for the incoming administration to discuss foreign policy…with anyone. No crime unti Meuller, McCabe, Comey, Clapper, Rice, Powers, got involved.
    When the FBI went to see George the Greek, the Greek had committed no crime. What the Australian foreign service emloyee to the British embassy overheard was not a crime.
    When Meuller starting investigating and harassing (terrorizing) all of Stone’s young millennial employees and even his life big time friend and neighbor the Manhattan Madame, Roger had not committed a crime.
    The indictments against Stone do not even mention ‘Russia’, ‘Russians’ spying, Collusion, or real crimes. Obstruction of Justice is just a catch all phrase to hold people, like that Russia gal who was working at a bank in the US.
    By the way, the Russian lady spy never offered sex to anyone for loose lips as reported in the fakenews media….unlike the hot babe that that walked into the bar and just happened to sit next to George the Greek and tried to butter him up to talk using her best assets (with the British informant sitting nearby listening and paying for the drinks…along with the Australian foreign service agent….who subquently was appointed to Ambassador to England. He done good, but I digress.
    Opps. The point? None of the above committed a crime until Meuller got involved, lol.
    I would feel more trusting the day the FBI does a predawn raid on Cherly Mills home. She lied to the FBI several times and was promptly granted impunity…….and she indeed obstructed Justice….real obstruction of justice. Smashed blackberries and destroyed 30,000 e-mail under Congressional subpoena. Talk about obstruction of justice, ROFLMAO…..not to mention it is crime for Hillary to even show Cheryl (or anyone) classified information who does not have clearance. What’s up with dat? Yep, CA is Hillary Country. Let me count the ways.
    Thus it is the way it be. When the 17 agencies want you to walk, you walk. When the 17 agents want you screwed, blued, and tattooed, they have 6 ways to Sunday to sodimize ya. They will tear ya a new one.

    Think it was Sutter Couty or Marysville that poured all the money (100s of 1000s of dollars and resources) to help the homeless down by the river. Let them live there. Had every agency under the sun catering to their every need.
    Unfortunately, all the trash, Crime , drugs, poop, and harassing of families venturing down to the river to enjoy a picnic or take the kids to began to complain. So, the county (or city) reversed course and started to move the people out of the river banks so the good taypaying citizens could enjoy the river once again…in safey.
    Now, here is the catch. The homeless advocates sued and a judge declared that the local government must provide a place for the homeless to “rest”. Sutter County has about the same population as Nevada County and about the same number of homeless per capita. The county is spending a few million to house the homeless, but only will house a third of the homeless, if that. Thus, no place to “rest” for all the homeless who were camping down by the river. This will cost the county more than giving each of the homeless 50k a piece to go away. Luckily, our homeless find the river too far away to take over the place. Always a silver lining. :).

    AOC will not like this one bit.
    Most of our votes are pretty straightforward, but today was a tough/nuanced call,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote on her Instagram story showing her walking to House votes with her policy team. “We didn’t vote with the party because one of the spending bills included ICE funding, and our community felt strongly about not funding that.”
    Ocasio-Cortez and some other progressives want to defund or eliminate Immigration and Customs Enforcement. She has supported previous Democratic spending bills that provided funding for the agency.
    The House on Wednesday also passed, 234-180, a spending package comprised of six bills that members of both parties in the House and Senate negotiated last year. The package provides full fiscal 2019 funding for all non-funded departments other than Homeland Security. Since it includes no funding for ICE, it’s unclear why Ocasio-Cortez voted against it.

    this is Trumps FBI Director Wray;s reaction to Trumps government shutdown.
    “FBI Director Christopher Wray, handpicked by President Donald Trump to replace Jim Comey, has just publicly released a video expressing his anger over the federal government shutdown, while verbalizing his support and empathy for what his employees are having to go through.
    Director Wray calls the shutdown, which was started by President Trump and supported by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, “mind-boggling” and “short-sighted.”
    The Director tells agents and other employees, “It takes a lot to get me angry, but I’m about as angry as I’ve been in a long, long time.”
    “Sure, I get it. You’re public servants, and I know I can count on you to keep doing everything you can to help others, however you can,” he adds. “But you’re also people with bills to pay. You’re also moms and dads. You’ve also got rent payments and mortgages, and utilities and car payments and gas and groceries to buy. And you can’t put those worries aside just because you serve the public.”

    Most Americans on Main St USA don’t care a lick about the Federal employees, all in all. I certainly don’t. Government is the employer of last resort. Some got paid for staying home collecting unemployment, lol. Others took nice trip and have to hurry back. They have proven to be the grifters they are. Not all, but too many. If nothing else, the shutdown proved that we don’t need a bigger government. It’s too big and too many employees are unneccary.
    Let’s wait until the next shutdown on February 15. The Dems have already said no new barriers, so we will be right back where we started, duh.
    Personally, I have little faith in the n ew high tech barriers. It won’t stop one lawbreakers from entering the USA., won’t stop one single self centered self seeking asshole cutting in line. Those who play by the rules are screwed again.
    Tell Israel that all they need is new tangled technology. All the technology in the world did not stop one suicide bomber entering Israel. Their wall stopped all of them
    The reason I have little faith in electronic surveillance exclusively is because a agent sitting in booth somewhere sees, say, 80 illegals sneaking in. That’s all the agent can do. He/she watches them break into our country and reports it. Big deal. Time personnel are sent they ones who enter illegally are touching sacred US soil and we don’t even know how they are at tha point. It’s too late.
    For example, a rancher recently called the border patrol because all these illegal entery foreign nationals knocked on his door wanting water (and leaving heaps of trash on his property). The ranch is 80 miles from the nearest border patrol office. The agents check in the morning, have their daily briefs, check their weapons, and it takes 2-3 hours to reach the ranch. And the agents patrol in pairs for safety reasons. Anyway, there were too many illegal alien line jumpers for the two to handle. Larger vehicles and more personel are called in. Beforet the bus arrives, it’s time to head back to the office, end of shift.
    One kid, whose parent had not given his own child food or water for a few days, falls ill. Suddenly the Border Agent has to become an EMT. The agents do what they can, calling in a medical helicopter because an ambulance would take hours to pick up the neglected (neglected by the child’s own flesh and blood parent) kid. The kid dies and the assholes around here say “He dies in Border Patrol custody.” A needless death because of no physical barrier. That kid may be alive today if 1) he had ever seen a doctor once in his entire life 2) the father could speak a language that was either Spanish or English to communicate in route 3) the parent had checked on the kid’s health during the trek 4) and there was a barrier to prevent the kid from dying on US sacred soil.
    The rancher also said there are 200 trails cutting through his ranch. So, what is electronic survellience going to do besides watching folks cross at will? We already have cameras in the bushes photographing the mules packing in pot on their backs…miles north of the border. Cartel routes. Dangerous for the public to get near. We got pics, we know some of trails, and all we can do is watch the scum break our laws…with impunity. Of course, if one is an open border advocate, you don’t care about any of this…besides! “No barriers!”
    —————
    For whatever reason, the Deep State does NOT want any barriers on the southern border. They are bigger than the Dems and Republicans and run this country, not any one man or Congress. But the real news today is Mueller sent 17 cars with lights flashing to arrest Roger Stone, a gossip hound, rumor monger, and bit player. 17 cars and a big show or force to sent a message to Trump. The Deep State employed unneccary gestopo tactics.
    As much as the Leftinistas decry Putin this, Putin that, Putin, Putin, Putin….the Leftinistas and DeepState employes the exact fascist tactics that Putin employes on his political opponents. Threaten to jail their family members, investigate the family members, their taxes, their income, hold hearing how “The Greaser” got his clearance, spread lies, rumors, bear false witness, and insinuate they are beholden or agents of a foreign power. Putin does the exact same facist tactics that the Leftinistas cheer and do…save outright murder and sent them off to labor camps. To the gulag!
    You can hear the facist Leftinistas wilding applauding the Deep State facist tactics from here. A law unto themselves. It’s their way or else. They never do anything like negotiate in good faith. Not in their plans or desires. Never have, never will.
