“We’re on a path to having a million, a million people stopped at the border trying to come into the country, and many get here illegally. We have also weaponized the laws in the United States, whereas, with human trafficking, if they bring a child and call themselves a family unit, then they say they can only be held 20 days. That’s what the law is, released into the United States. And they don’t come back for a hearing, and they stay forever. So our laws are being used against us, and the system is broken.”
Drugs, under-staffing of agents and processing areas, slow hearing process, human trafficking, lack of adequate barriers and technology, criminal incursion into US society, heavy burden of expense on cities, states and the federal government in all societal institutions.

Outstanding interview conducted with Lin Wood, attorney for Nick Sandmann.

'Sandmann was collateral damage in the media's efforts to GET TRUMP.'

Great, great, great discussion on the media's responsibility in reporting and 'freedom of the press'.



If the media can get away with doing this to a 16 year-old minor, they can do it to anyone.

Four More Originalist Judges Confirmed to the Federal Bench

Date: March 10, 2019

The American Bar Association (ABA) has rated all of Trump's recent nominees as either “Qualified” or “Well Qualified.”

Considered left leaning in their politics, the ABA is usually cheered by Democrats as being of the highest of integrity and thoroughness when evaluating judicial nominees. Despite that, not one Democrat voted to confirm any of Trump's appointees. The Resistance still plays BECAUSE TRUMP.

Democrats want activists on the bench who will make up law. Trump has not appointed any LIB activists.

One of Trump's greatest accomplishments has been his continued nomination of great Originalist judges to the courts. In the weeks ahead, there are at least 42 judicial nominees on the Senate calendar.

Senator Lindsey Graham, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has been doing a great job getting these nominees through the confirmation process.

I look forward to the continued nominations and confirmations of Originalist Judges to the Federal Court!

So now, Democrats in the House will investigate anyone who knows Trump, worked with Trump, etc. to find anything in the hopes that they can at least smear him before the 2020 election.

Governor Matt Bevin Eliminates Concealed Permit Requirement in Kentucky

Date: March 11, 2019

Republican Governor Bevin signed into law that the 2nd Amendment gives citizens the right to concealed carry in Kentucky.
“On behalf of the NRA’s five million members, we would like to thank Governor Bevin for his leadership on this critical issue. This law is a common sense measure that allows law-abiding citizens to exercise their fundamental right of self-protection in the manner that best suits their needs.”

Cramer: Why Monday’s rally won’t be the market’s only good session

March 11, 2019
CNBC
Wall Street could be in line for a string of good trading days as sentiment shifts and analysts get more bullish about stocks, CNBC’s Jim Cramer said Monday.

The major indexes caught a spark during the session with the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbing more than 200 points, the Nasdaq adding almost 150 points, and the S&P 500 growing about 1.5 percent.

Cramer said he expected the market to increase because of the way stocks fell and rebounded on Friday.

“Last week, sentiment just got too negative, and when everybody’s negative that means there’s hardly anyone left to sell,” the “Mad Money” host said. “With no natural sellers, the market can roar across the board.”

“If I’m right that the sellers have exhausted themselves, then today won’t be the last good session we have, especially with the wave of positive analyst notes that I’m expecting this week,” he added.

Three tech stocks catapulted the market to start the week, Cramer said. He noted that analysts have turned bullish on names like Apple and Facebook. Additionally, Nvidia’s $6.9 billion bid for Israeli chipmaker Mellanox could yield more upgrades, he said.

Bank of America made an upgrade on Apple and revealed 10 reasons why its bullish about the iPhone maker. The bank liked that Apple flipped its gross profit from negative in the first half of 2018 to positive in the second half, its loyal user base, and the potential for an acquisition. Apple added 3.5 percent to its stock before the market closed, which helped offset Boeing’s losses on the Dow in the wake of the tragic Ethiopian Airlines crash.

“The only thing new here is the possibility of a re-acceleration in Apple’s service revenues, but it’s still—I found it fatuous—because it was about the Chinese no longer cracking down hard on gaming,” Cramer said. “I call that thin gruel, people. Don’t get me wrong, I agree with the upgrade—I still think you own Apple and you don’t trade it—but there was nothing revelatory here.”

Cramer also pointed out that Facebook got a hold-to-buy upgrade from Nomura Instinet. But as in Apple’s case, the host said there’s nothing much new in the assessment on the social media giant. Facebook has been shaking off negative headlines and CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced his plans for a “privacy-focused” future on Friday.

The stock gained almost 1.5 percent on Monday.

“Nomura recognizes that most people use Instagram to tell stories to everyone,” Cramer said. “Despite all of the negative press, Facebook hasn’t lost users, it’s gained them, and … it’s become almost a really cheap stock, especially now that the company’s planning to slash costs over time.”

Nvidia’s play for Mellanox gave a boost to the chipmaker’s artificial intelligence and data businesses, Cramer said. If the acquisition goes through, he said it could give the company an advantage over Intel.

“The deal may be defensive versus Intel, but it allows Nvidia to play offense,” he said. “It’s been on defense for so long, which is why I predict a slew of upgrades on the heels of this takeover.”

“Rallies based on a sentiment switch are often arbiters of some amazing moves, the best moves ... With Nvidia’s stock rallying more than target Mellanox, with the negatives for Facebook pretty well spelled out, and with Apple rallying on something that’s been true for years,” investors should be upgrading as well, Cramer said.
By coincidence, my stock market advisor sent me a "BUY" signal for new money Sunday evening and expects the S&P 500 to clear the 3,000 plateau in 2019. The bull market ain't over.

Cramer was former partners with Larry Kudlow, Trump's financial advisor, so I'm not surprised that Cramer is still bullish.

However, there's still some pessimism out there -- much of it media driven -- and that always comes into play.

As usual, I expect Democrats to be their own undoing. Antisemitism, open borders, socialism, illegal aliens voting, killing babies who survive abortions, elimination of all fossil fuels -- and now a faction within the party is pushing back against Pelosi for realizing that impeachment of Trump is a non starter.

Mad Maxine is the tip of the spear.



You would think that with all of the unlimited, annual and semi annual audits by the IRS over the course of Trump's business history, there would have been things found that are illegal. However, that does't matter to LIBs. They attempt at almost every turn to criminalize LEGAL behavior -- taking advantage of tax deductions, paying companies within the corporation for services, writing off legal business expenses.

The entire fiasco will be to find as many things as they can to smear Trump going into 2020. They're looking for "gotcha" political points.

McJeb gets hit with almost $400,000 fine from Federal Election Commission

The FEC hit Jeb Bush's super PAC with a $390,000 fine for illegally accepting $1.3 million in donations from a Chinese-owned company.

No one goes to jail? No. It's rare unless it can be proven that the candidate knowingly broke the law.

So the piddly accusation regarding Trump paying a nuisance claim to Stormy, et al is peanuts compared to this. Big yawn then. Big yawn now.
