People who like Obama thought he was great. Those of us who felt he was damaging
the economy, being a goofball bowing to Arabian leaders and kissing their rings, and all the other stupid things he did --well, it just was downright embarrassing to REAL AMERICANS. Now Michelle Obama has interviewed with the Smollett trial by talking to the DA ahead of time, and as media has reported, she spoke in favor of Smollett. When will the Clintons and Obamas realize we are tired of them, their arrogance and their interference. Frankly I hope Hillary runs for office again so we can teach her once and for all that NO ONE wants her in politics.

Why lie about your father's place of birth?

Trump keeps claiming his father was born in Germany. It was the Bronx.

"Speaking to reporters in the White House Tuesday, President Trump misstated his father’s place of birth as Germany, rather than New York City.

“My father is German, right? Was German. And born in a very wonderful place in Germany, so I have a great feeling for Germany,” Trump said during a meeting with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, who is from Norway.

Trump’s father, Frederick Christ Trump, was born in the Bronx on Oct. 11, 1905".
Tuesday’s misstatement was not the first time that the president has incorrectly identified his father’s birthplace. In a 2018 interview with “Fox News Sunday,” Trump did the same.

U.S.-Mexico border shutdown could impact $611 billion in trade, 5 million jobs

"The Department of Homeland Security may reassign up to 2,000 more officers to handle a surge of immigrant families entering the U.S. illegally through Mexico. The potential shift of personnel follows President Trump's threat to shut down the border with Mexico. Manuel Bojorquez reports"

I wondered if he would be dumb enough to do this?

Trump steps back from Mexico border threat as companies warn of economic fallout

"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump took a step back on Tuesday from his threat to close the U.S. southern border to fight illegal immigration, as pressure mounted from companies worried that a shutdown would cause chaos to supply chains".

Hmmm, I wouldnt think being a goofball, OR arrogance OR interference were really a concern for Trump supporters,

Mr. "I know more than military generals or our intelligence community"
Mr. "I have a genius IQ but don't want you to see my grades.
Mr. "Players who kneel during the anthem should be fired"

as far as the economy. Facts are facts. It totally depends upon which facts people focus on. But considering what economy WAS when he came in. I find it hard to not laugh at the idea that he was 'damaging' what he came into.

I still personally think he is like the Emperor with No Clothes, his PREVIOUS 'success' has been reinvented so others believe he is STILL at that level. He seems to be like most other elders who are facing senility, IMHO. but his gold toilet reputation creates the illusion of mere eccentricity instead.

Thank you for making my point! If you are 30 years old and still needing that handup, it is a waste of effort! When welfare is multi-generational, they didn't turn their lives around. Being drug dependent and returning to drugs after treatment is a personal failure - don't waste more effort on them.

If we teach a person to fish, how to clean the fish, how to cook the fish and then provide them the equipment needed and they take what we have given them to the pawn shop, who has failed? What should we do with that person? Should we try again or put our efforts to someone else who might be a success? It seems there is a large group of people we should just let go hungry and live under a bridge; they will either die or change their lives for the better. Society improves either way!!

Mental health issues are an area with potential that society has totally failed at. We did a great disservice to those people when we kicked most of them out on the street instead of providing a controlled environment for them. Some, with ongoing treatment, can lead a productive life while others need constant oversight and supervision. Our regulations prevent the existence of a controlled environment for the mentally ill except when we declare them a danger to themselves or society; we continue to just throw the rest back out in the street to fend for themselves. Often they end up involved with the legal system instead of the health system where they should be.

Trump had several thousand for his rally in Michigan, whereas O'Rourke only had about 500 at his rally in El Paso. There are so many Dems wanting to be president that they are spending all their money a year before election rallies even start.

Al Jazeera's Andy Gallacher has this report from rural Florida.:

affordable housing in the US is not just a problem in big cities. US housing crisis: New focus on rural area.
More and more Americans are struggling to pay their rent - and the problem is not just limited to major cities. Politicians met on Tuesday to discuss the growing housing crisis in rural areas which leaves millions without a decent place to live.
*********
If we have problems now, think how much worse it will be with people pouring over our southern border. Are we to displace Americans and give their apartments to illegals?

And he accomplished this with major push-back from Congress !

And i dont see your sources regarding "Michelle Obama intervening on behalf of Smollet "
Cause CNN reports that it was a former employee of Mitchell Obama by the name of Tina Tchen that contacted the prosecutors on behalf of Smollet and did not have any bearring on the outcome

That just isn't true. Way more than 500

EL PASO – More than 6,000 people showed up in downtown El Paso, just blocks away from the U.S. Mexico border Saturday morning to support the launch of Beto O'Rourke's presidential campaign.

The above statement isn't true.

Former Michelle Obama aide tried to intervene in Jussie Smollett probe

"After being contacted by a Chicago attorney who served as former first lady Michelle Obama’s chief of staff, the top prosecutor in Cook County asked the city’s top cop to turn over the Jussie Smollett probe to the FBI, according to reports".

ONE issue with that concern is there are NOT people 'pouring' over our southern border. Even as the housing problem has increased , border crossings have been DECREASING.




And I dont think its as simple as difference in political parties.
We see that in the following years, there were over a million illegal crossings
2000, 2004-2006

If we look at leadership in those years that correspond:

2000, Clinton(D) president 2004-2006, GW Bush(R) president

2000, Senate and house Majority Republican 2004-2006 Senate and house Majority Republican



the border has been used for a smokescreen in elections whether the numbers go up or down, unfortunately


ANOTHER issue is that apartments are not GIVEN away, either one affords them or they dont. And though Americans are struggling to pay rent, they still MAKE quite a bit more on average than someone here illegally, making it unlikely the illegal will be any more capable of affording those apartments either.

The need for housing in southwest Iowa is so acute that each new obituary reads like a real estate listing.

"The joke is that good homes sell at the funeral home," said Manning City Clerk Dawn Meyer.

This story of Iowans desperately looking for suitable housing is hardly unique to Manning.

At the inaugural Iowa Rural Development Summit in 2016, organizers heard the same complaint over and over: There just is not enough housing outside of Iowa's booming metropolitan areas.

The problem is widespread, affecting small communities in every corner of the state. And it runs deep.

"It's owner-occupied housing. It's new construction. It's rehab of existing homes. It's multi-unit rentals. It's affordable housing. It's senior housing," said Bill Menner, director of the Iowa Rural Development Council. "Communities are struggling with every one of those elements."

Demand is so great that many Iowa communities have already taken matters into their own hands, offering creative financing or incentives for new homes and renovations. And one Des Moines-area builder is considering an entire division devoted to building new homes in rural Iowa.

Just what we don't need more homeless people we have no idea who they are with no jobs most can't speak the language or have social security cards..I wonder how they will feed themselves or obtain needed necessities..not like any of them will turn to crime to do so..

NATION IN TOTAL ROCKED WHEN TRUMP FINALLY DID THIS TO SHUT DOWN THE ENTIRE BORDER


Personally If any harm comes to any American due to illegals they should be able to sue the democratic party or any other government members who vote for an open border..more than obvious the Dems have to import votes..

Pee tape UNFOUNDED
treason UNFOUNDED
Collusion UNFOUNDED
obstruction UNFOUNDED

should tell people something... BUILD THE WALL AND DEPORT THEM ALL (illegals)

BUSH, OBAMA and Hillary Clinton three of the biggest TRAITORS of this country

President Trump has tried to halt the arrival of undocumented migrants by beefing up border security, limiting who qualifies for asylum and, for a while, separating migrant children from their parents at the border. However, figures released on Tuesday suggest that those measures are failing to deter tens of thousands of migrants from journeying over land to the United States.

Indeed, after shriveling to the smallest total in five decades, the number of migrants intercepted at the southern border — the best indicator of how many undocumented people are entering the United States — is soaring again.

Border authorities detained nearly twice as many migrants — 268,044 — in the first five months of the fiscal year that started in October than were detained in the same period the previous year.

there has been no one 'voting' for an 'open border'.

But more to the point, The US is already too litigious. What would be next, suing all those who vote for arming cops every time one of them shoots an 'innocent' or unarmed citizen? or sue those who vote to for deregulations every time a product ends in a user dying?

perhaps putting out the image that we will be becoming anti immigrant is causing people to feel a bit more pressured to get here while they can ..?

Maybe what was already working should be left to continue working?
