Rising murders of citizens by illegal aliens blamed on White House ignoring laws

Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson stumbled to answer questions from Rep. Smith regarding whether sanctuary cities violate federal law at recent oversight hearing. 

“Sanctuary city policies needlessly endanger American lives by refusing to honor the federal government’s authority to enforce immigration laws,” Goodlatte indicated. “Unfortunately, the Obama Administration’s own foolish policies enable rogue local governments to defy federal immigration laws. All too often, these reckless policies create preventable tragedies.”

Somehow this used to be funny but is kinda revolting to me now.

NOT GOOD: The Donald Trump Problem — And the Naive Voters Who Support Him

 

Clash Daily   "Whenever I hear Donald Trump discuss the issues I feel like I’m listening to an immature 15-year- old.  His outrageous over-statements and bragging are irresponsible and childlike.  However, they sometimes appeal to equally immature and/or uninformed voters – not good!

"A lot of under-informed voters like Donald Trump because of his bold and confident and bombastic pronouncements that he would make America great again by fixing all of our problems. "

Trump: a Third Party? UPDATED

 Donald Trump: I'll stay a Republican 'if I'm treated fairly' - otherwise I could still run a third-party White House bid  . . . "The businessman-turned-politician has indicated all along that he could seek the Oval Office as a third-party candidate, no more prominently so than at last week's presidential debate, where the admission was met with boos by a feisty audience.

He said earlier this summer that he did not want to go that route, however, because he feared he could play spoiler to the GOP and hand the election to presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

"As his GOP competitors have ratcheted up their attacks on him, Trump's warnings that the Republican Party better play nice with him - or else - have taken on a more serious nature."

 Ross Perot's try at a third party gave us Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton for over  two decades.

 

Trump's Bridge Over the River Kwai   "Should circumstances arise, will Trump check his ego for the good of the country or build a bridge to victory for the enemy?

"Bill Clinton learned a thing or two in 1992. He was elected by only 43% of the vote. Reason: Ross Perot garnered 19% of the vote to George H.W. Bush's 38%. The turnout was just over 55%. Though Perot won no electoral votes to the Electoral College, he skewed the vote in such a way as to thwart the reelection of his perceived nemesis for, of all things, disturbing his daughter’s wedding. Small man. Yet, he didn't start out that way." . . .

Third parties have often given the victory to the lesser in U.S. history.

The Iran Deal Update

All The Right Snark   "Wow, a lot has happened in the few weeks since the Iran nuclear weapons deal was signed.  Some standouts include some more random shootings, Donald Trump’s braying at the ‘Pubs, Obama’s war on coal sends another volley via the EPA, Miss Piggy and Kermit breakup, and Planned Parenthood is selling the organs of aborted unborn babies.
"And I wonder why I drink…
"So what’s happening in the Iran “deal”?  Democratic senator Chuck Schumer has come out against the deal. (read here) and Mohammad Ali Jafari, the Iranian military chief has come out in support of the deal. (read more here).
"I’m no rocket scientist or some sort of answer man, but ol’ Reiuxcat is still thinking His O’liness, Obama, has sold out the free world again."

Megyn Kelly on Trump: ‘I certainly will not apologize for doing good journalism’; former aide says he still supports Trump

Ann Althouse introduced this post with the following commentary:
 . . . "So I'll continue doing my job without fear or favor."
"Said Megyn Kelly, on her show last night, taking the least time possible to kick Donald Trump to the side. Watch the clip, because her good humor and style shine.
"For some reason — and for the first time — she reminded me of Katharine Hepburn."

NY Daily News  . . . "Trump had called for her to say sorry for asking an “inappropriate” question on quotes he's made in the past about women. Trump’s top advisor left his campaign over the weekend after the candidate bashed Kelly.
"She told "Kelly File" viewers Trump is “an interesting man who has captured the attention of the electorate” but won’t be getting any apology from her."



. . . "Former Trump aide Roger Stone also agreed to disagree with him. The longtime GOP operative says he quit Trump’s campaign over the “diversion to food fight” with Kelly even though his former boss says he fired him. Stone submitted a resignation letter to Trump after running a draft by five friends, he told CNN’s Anderson Cooper Monday night.
"But regardless of the quarrels over his departure and the candidate’s tactics, he still supports Trump, Stone said."

Debra Heine   . . . "Note that this is the same administration that is apparently considering charges against a Navy officer for defending himself and other military personnel during a terrorist attack on the Navy Operational Support Center in Chattanooga, TN, last month. 

"It is the same administration that traded five dangerous Taliban commanders for one pot-addled Army deserter in the spring of 2014.

"It is the same administration that sides with the Islamist government of Turkey over the secular Kurds who are fighting the ISIS terrorists."
