The Official Thread Dedicated to "Trump Winning"

and they still can't GET OVER IT


CNN's Fareed Zakaria Zakaria: Trump's Win Was a Slap in the Face to us Elites

Donald Trump became President Trump, the host mused, because Americans wanted to stick it to the elites.

"The election of Donald Trump is really a kind of class rebellion against people like us, educated professionals who live in cities, who have cosmopolitan views about things," Zakaria said.

"There's a part of America that is sick and tired of being told what to do by this overeducated population that Hillary Clinton perfectly represented. That's why they're sticking with him," he continued

Now, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is finally admitting what the rest of us already knew - Hillary was an awful candidate. They had the right message, he argued. They just didn't have the right messenger.

Yet, too many "astute" analysts like Zakaria fail to consider that maybe Americans voted Trump into office because they liked his ideas and the direction he wanted to take the country.

Trump Administration Expediting Border Wall Construction

Despite opposition from the media, Democrats and RINO Republicans, President Trump is moving forward with construction of the border wall. U.S. officials will begin easing environment laws for the border near San Diego.

Reuters reports:

"The U.S. Department of Homeland Security said on Tuesday it would waive environmental and related laws in order to expedite building security-related barriers and roads along the nation’s border with Mexico near San Diego.

The projects would focus on about 15 miles (24 km) of the frontier extending eastward from the Pacific Ocean as part of President Donald Trump’s planned wall between the United States and Mexico, the DHS said in a statement. It said the area is one of the busiest U.S. border sections.

“The sector remains an area of high illegal entry for which there is an immediate need to improve current infrastructure and construct additional border barriers and roads,” the DHS said.

The department will oversee the installation of extra barriers, roads, lights, cameras and sensors on the border under the authority of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA) of 1996, the statement said.

The act grants the secretary of homeland security authority to waive requirements to comply with various laws to ensure the building of barriers and roads, while being mindful of cultural and environmental impacts, the statement said."

The Great Wall of China was built between 200 B.C and 220 B.C.. That tells you how backwards a wall is.
Not too difficult to get over or under a wall, particularly with the kind of money the Mexican cartels have.

We have many high -tech methods we could be deploying to protect the border that are 10% of the cost of a Wall
and more effective in detecting crossers.
 
WINNING!


Liberals Outraged After DOJ Starts Calling Illegal Immigrants 'Illegal Aliens'

The Justice Department began calling illegal immigrants "illegal aliens," breaking from the Obama-era language of "undocumented," "unauthorized," or "migrants."

The change came last month in a press release announcing Attorney General Jeff Sessions' meeting with the families of victims of crimes by illegal immigrants. This week an official statement heralding tougher rules for sanctuary cities also used the term.

"So-called 'sanctuary' policies make all of us less safe because they intentionally undermine our laws and protect illegal aliens who have committed crimes," the document read.

Some were outraged at the language switch, noting that "word choice is important," as Chicago Tribune writer Todd Slowik wrote.

People put fences up around their houses daily. You know why? To keep people out. Are they backward?
 
I heard an interview with the head of border control in the Southwest and he said the walls help. That's good enough for me. We already have 700 miles of wall/fence up. It just needs to be improved and manned.

And Mexico can and will pay for it though a simple tax on wire transfers from the U.S. to anywhere south of the border.

This whole issue has and is much ado about nothing. The money needed yearly to expand the wall isn't all the great in the scheme of things. Trump's election to office has already drastically changed illegal immigration. The wall has needed upgrade and expansion since it's construction in the 1990's (under Clinton). Border control now has the respite in crossing attempts to finally ******* breath and take measure of the situation and FINALLY improve methods and operations.

ICE is finally doing their job, which is to prioritize (but not pass over) capture and deportation of illegal immigrants. That means EVERYONE that is here illegally. For every illegal, they destroy and circumvent the system that so many good people are trying to follow. Illegals artificially lower wages because so many are paid "off the books". If we need more worker visas, issue them (which we have already done and that's a GOOD thing).

If the worker visa adjustments don't solve the problems of labor shortages, then ******* high time Congress gets off their *** the revamps the immigration process.

That's what a Democratic Republic would do. That's what a competent country would do. It would not just throw the rules out the window and reward all those people that have jerked the system around and put them ahead of so many people that tried (and sometimes failed) to enter this country legally.

Coal Is No. 1

Quick: What was the No. 1 source of electricity production in the U.S. during the first half of 2017? If you answered renewable energy, you were wrong by a mile.

According to the Energy Information Administration, which tracks energy use in production on a monthly basis, the single largest source of electric power for the first half of 2017 was coal.

That's not all. The Department of Commerce's Bureau of Economic Analysis released reports on July 21, 2017, that "mining increased 21.6 percent. ... The first quarter growth primarily reflected increases in oil and gas extraction, as well as support activities for mining. This was the largest increase since the fourth quarter of 2014." No other major American industry had such gains, and across all industries output was up less than 2 percent.

But coal jobs are not just tied to the actual mining of coal. Coal is tied to steel jobs, trucking jobs and manufacturing jobs. Using cheap and efficient energy makes every other American industry more productive and thus makes American employers far more competitive in global markets. Productivity creates higher-paying jobs in America; it doesn't destroy them.

With fifth judge confirmed, Trump outpaces Obama and Bush

President Trump may be facing a roadblock on the rest of his nominees but he’s outpacing his predecessors when it comes to getting federal judges confirmed after his fifth court pick was approved by the Senate on Tuesday.

Alabama lawyer Kevin Christopher Newsom was confirmed to a seat on the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on a 66-31 vote, with 16 Democrats joining the GOP. He’s the third circuit judge approved so far, and combined with one district judge and Supreme Court Justice Neil M. Gorsuch, it puts the president and the GOP-led Senate well ahead of pace.

By comparison, Obama had zero judges confirmed in his first six months in office and it took him until November of 2009 to get three circuit court nominees cleared through the Senate.

Pelosi is on that team's roster while McCain, who is supposedly batting for the other team outdid himself this time. He has always held hands with Liberman in the Dems locker room but now he has brought his true team colors out into the light .

Libs Heads Asploding Alert!


Trump Administration Sets Up Inquiry Into Discrimination of White College Students

The Trump administration is preparing to redirect resources of the Justice Department’s civil rights division toward investigating and suing universities over affirmative action admissions policies deemed to discriminate against white applicants, according to a document obtained by The New York Times.

The document, an internal announcement to the civil rights division, seeks current lawyers interested in working for a new project on “investigations and possible litigation related to intentional race-based discrimination in college and university admissions.” The announcement suggests that the project will be run out of the division’s front office, where the Trump administration’s political appointees work, rather than its Educational Opportunities Section, which is run by career civil servants and normally handles work involving schools and universities.

The document does not explicitly identify whom the Justice Department considers at risk of discrimination because of affirmative action admissions policies. But the phrasing it uses, “intentional race-based discrimination,” cuts to the heart of programs designed to bring more minorities to university campuses. Supporters and critics of the project said it was clearly targeting admissions programs that can give members of generally disadvantaged groups, like black and Latino students, an edge over other applicants with comparable or higher test scores.

Libs love quotas. If the population is 60% white, 14% Hispanic, 12% black, and 6% Asian, then dammit every college student body should be 60% white, 14% Hispanic, 12% black, and 6% Asian.

(Yes I'm aware that 8-10 years ago California did away with race-based state hiring quotas because it meant they would have had to hire more white people.)

You get the point of the question. Continue to be willfully ignorant.
 
Trump, GOP senators to introduce bill to slash legal immigration levels

President Trump will appear with a pair of conservative Republican senators at the White House on Wednesday to unveil legislation aimed at slashing legal immigration levels over a decade, a goal Trump endorsed on the campaign trail.

Sens. Tom Cotton (Ark.) and David Perdue (Ga.) have been working with the Trump administration to refine a bill they first introduced in February that aims to cut immigration by half from the current level of more than 1 million green cards per year granting foreigners permanent legal residence in the United States. The revised legislation also is expected to put stricter limits on temporary work visas for lower skilled immigrants.

The outlines of the legislation reflect the aims Trump touted on the campaign trail, when he argued that the rapid growth of immigration over the past half century had harmed job opportunities for American workers and led to risks to national security. Trump has met twice at the White House with Cotton and Perdue to discuss the details of their legislation, which is titled the Reforming American Immigration for Strong Employment (RAISE) Act.

In a speech last week in Youngstown, Ohio, Trump praised the senators' efforts, calling their legislation a pathway to creating a “merit-based” immigration system.
