[Our leftwing commenters keep reporting that all of our border problems are nothing but rightwing propaganda, so why have the national news been reporting illegal entry numbers surging, caravans at the border trying to get in, and more caravans on the way from central America?  And how come Dems keep saying that walls don't work, and the border security authorities keep testifying and presenting data that they do?  gjr]

    Since the wannabe porn star brought it up, Yes,
    “The left has commissioned its national cricket corp”

    “We have news for you, breaking news, that for whatever reason is being downplayed or ignored by other media outlets, but we think you want to know about it. Five simple words describe it, there was no Russian collusion. There is no evidence whatsoever that the Trump campaign conspired in any way with the government of Vladimir Putin during the last presidential election.”
    “the conclusion of the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee. That Committee spent two years investigating this question. Of course, hundreds of interviews, reams of classified documents, untold millions in taxpayer dollars. No collusion at all. That is what we are hearing on Tuesday evening that they have found.”
    Let the cricket singing begin

    Nice attempted save there. Ya gotta Google to find it?
    I went to the main page! Nothing! It’s buried deep where no one will really see it. Yaa.. That’s LIB “reporting” for ya.
    You really think Proggy news would put it out for all to see when they are fully against ANY money going for the Wall? There is enough money there to build it 5 times over. And not a dime would come from the taxpayer.
    Find the story where it counts. (no one else can)

    Illegals.
    We have about 900,000 illegals awaiting to be processed right now. At this rate, the projections for next year is over a million and and 1.5 to 2 million awaiting processing in the next theee years. That is more than we can possibly handle. We just don’t have the resources. It is breaking and will bust the system. Saul Alinsky tactics, Alinsky’s wet dream.
    The Dems know all this and are pushing for less ICE detention beds. Let that sink in. Once a illegal or alyssum applicant is rejected, we are supposed to deport them. That’s the law. Pushing for less beds and less detainees in detention at the very same time unable to house/detain the ones currently in processing or ordered deported.
    The idea is to flood and overwhelm the system so that those applying for asylum can simply disappear into the country to live as they with fear of repercussions. 5% will show up for their hearing dates. The bigger picture is to throw the asylum seekers in with the DACAs and Tempory refugee status folks we let in on a temporary basis with all the Dreamers and their parents and give them whole lot of them amnesty.
    The Dems cry out there is no crisis at the border. It’s a made up crisis, not real. Well, in a couple years, the crisis at the border and inside the US will be so undeniable that only the Enemy of the People and mentally ill could deny its existence. If will be plain to the sane and everyone else sure as the noses on their faces.
    Obama called it a crisis, among other previous and current Congressional leaders and Blue Ribbon Commissions and Presidents. Suddenly, it’s not crisis.
    Alinsky is alive and well.

    Yeah Walt-
    This was a news story YESTERDAY MORNING. Where were you? It was on TV news last night and discussed on NPR this morning. FOX is either last to the trough, or they are dragging it out for hard right political purposes. Or maybe they know the average FOX viewer is very slow on the uptake.

    I knew about it more than 24 hours ago. I choose not to post it that minute. More important topics to touch on. Still haven’t commented on it,. yesterday morning nor yesterday afternoon, nor last night, nor this morning. This is not some AP wire newsfeed. Think the Brown Streak took precedent.

    So you watched it on your “morning commute”?
    If it was all that “front and center”, why did I just happen to hear about it today? I’m pretty much up on “breaking news”.
    NPR? (never listen to it) Let me guess. it got 15 seconds like any other story.
    If it’s such a GREAT idea, and LIBS “say” they are all for border security, they would be jumping up and down in favor…. But they ain’t.
    HELL!! You haven’t even come clean to back the idea.
    How dare Trump get the money, and Christ will return before Trump can say “See? MEX just paid for the wall”.
    Nope you can’t have that. Not one bit! The last thing you want is another Trump victory.
    Swallow that!

    Tell that to Rebane 10:17 or Walt 12:19. It was well over a month ago that Cruz first mentioned the idea. In my book it wasn’t big news then either.

    Gee Walt, do you really want me to answer that?? Hah! Check back on the links I provided. Some of them are from noon news – Yesterday! Bill knew about it (“more than 24 hours ago”). I knew about it. Maybe NPR gave it more play than FOX?

    The story is out now! And makes perfect sense.
    Care to give the Commie response to why it’s not?

    The Senate is calling for a vote on her grand scam. If it’s so GREAT, lets see how many LIBS run for the hills instead of voting for it. They were “all for it” the day it rolled out.

    Swallows and Walt. I have been following ‘seized asset reform’ for several months to a year as it works its way through committees and yet to be introduced to Congress. Bipartisan support. Yes, there has been abuses as some assets are seized without a conviction in court or nary a trial or even charges brought. Not to say that all assets seized are not legal or valid or Constitutional, but some abuses exist as some (operative word is SOME) Sheriff Departments or local LE across the land rely on seized asset forfeitures are part of their budgets and budgeting for the next year. Thus the incentive for abuse. Anyway, Cruz has been a point man on the reforms so it makes since he introducing a narrowly tailored bill on a topic he has expertise in….as well as his expertise in Constitutional constraints and protections of rights.
    Whose on first?

    ToddS 1253pm – Interesting that you now ascribe FN and USA Today as leftwing lamestream outlets. And at other times you lefties consider these to be unreliable rightwing purveyors of fake news. Care to pick one, or does your logic permit you to follow Yogi’s advice when encountering a fork in the road?

    A topic I find ripe for irreparable harm and ripe for PC abuse:
    “We have since moved on to the second wave, Cretella told The Federalist. “The second wave is going on now, with emergency room staff, therapists, or doctors reporting parents to Child Protective Services who refuse to affirm their child’s false gender.”
    More recently, Cretella explains, she has heard from two sets of parents who were accused of being “abusive parents” for refusing to consent to hormone treatments for their teen children. In one case, the parents sought treatment for their son’s suicidal depression. Their son was adopted out of an abusive family, had a long history of depression and anxiety, had been in therapy in the past, was on medications, and never had any sign of gender dysphoria.
    Nevertheless, the emergency room physician at the children’s hospital, after interviewing him alone, diagnosed him as “definitely transgender because he insists that he is and that [the parents’] lack of acceptance is causing his suicidal depression. He should be started on puberty blockers and estrogen to transition.”
    This was the first time the 14-year-old boy had ever said such a thing, Cretella noted, yet from this one ER visit, his parents had to fight with the children’s hospital for months against allegations of being “abusive and unsupportive” parents. The family finally found a therapist who helped them set boundaries with their son, and his complaints of feeling trapped in the wrong body have stopped. Even with this outcome, attorneys told the parents they could not sue because experts would side with the ER physician, who was following the “standard of care” guidelines.
