Guess How CNN Is Describing the Crisis at the Southern Border

 emocrats and their cohorts in the media chided President Donald Trump over immigration policies that resulted in holding "kids in cages" and "separating families" at the United States-Mexico border, a claim that lacked nuance. It was something the left repeatedly hammered as inhumane and wrong. But now, roughly six weeks into his administration, President Joe Biden is continuing with a policy that was first established under President Barack Obama.

Biden's holding unaccompanied minors in the administration's "first migrant child facility" – you know, the type of facility that was labeled as "kids in cages" when Trump was in office?

CNN, however, decided to cover the "first migrant child facility" in a way that downplays the severity at the border. Instead of referring to them as "kids in cages," like they have in the past, the network took a more subtle approach. 

Via CNN (emphasis mine):

The number of unaccompanied migrant children in US Border Patrol facilities, which are akin to jail cells and not intended for kids, has reached dramatic highs, according to internal agency documents reviewed by CNN, underscoring the urgent challenge facing the Biden administration.

...

As of Monday afternoon, President Joe Biden had not yet been briefed by his top aides on the weekend trip, which included a visit to a facility for unaccompanied migrant children in Carrizo Springs, Texas -- the first facility for migrant children to open since Biden took office.

CNN isn't the only network to use this kind of language. The Washington Post did the same thing when they reported on the facility reopening without COVID precautions. The border is so overwhelmed that the administration is rolling back COVID mitigation efforts, like the number of unaccompanied minors that are being housed. The number of beds went from 50 percent capacity to 100 percent capacity. 

What's taking place on our southern border is disgraceful and wrong. Biden's soft immigration policies are the reason people are flocking to the United States, even during a pandemic. The media is just doing the administration's dirty work by downplaying the consequences and severity of what's taking place.

The truth is this: most of the facilities these unaccompanied minors are being housed in are short-term facilities. They're designed to hold drug traffickers for short periods of time while they are being processed. Most have a couple of benches, a toilet and a water fountain. That's it. No beds. No showers. Disease was an issue when this was going on back in 2014 and that was without the pandemic going on. Throw in these unsanitary conditions on top of the coronavirus – which the administration refuses to allow Border Patrol to test for – and you have a petri dish for disaster. 

Our men and women that protect our southern border deserve better conditions and for the media to speak the truth about the gravity of this situation.      

Donald Trump against the Rinos

 

Donald Trump declared that a new third party led by him was not happening, but he is ramping up the pressure in starving the squishy committees and political action committees of cash. The former president made it very clear that he’s not done with politics. He might run again in 2024. But first, he has to finish house cleaning and renovations he’s doing from within the GOP tent. The first is to get rid of the anti-Trump, spineless establishment outfits that would rather help Democrats than Republicans. The Office of the Former President released a statement last night saying:

“No more money for RINOs. They do nothing but hurt the Republican Party and our great voting base—they will never lead us to greatness. Send your donation to Save America PAC at DonaldJTrump.com. We will bring it all back stronger than ever before.”

I love the energy. And yes, the squishes have to go. We still have work to do here. There is no anti-Trump Republican who can win a primary contest let alone a national race right now. That’s good. This wing is going to die out soon enough. They have too many losers. Not a single one could beat Trump in a primary. Why even bother listening to them? This isn’t two equal sides here in the debate over the future of the GOP. It’s Trump’s party. Accept that or get out of the way. It’s also not like Trumpism or Reagan conservatism are all that different. There is tons of overlap on policy action items.

Playstation 5 update

 

Soon it will be $100 above the asking price and I can purchase a PS5. I can’t find them in stores. I was on WalMart.com, and had one in my cart. It was stolen out of my cart 5 times when I was entering the pin number.

One of those times! Arrrg. Seeing how I can't use a ATV around here.

Display Cases Are Empty: February Gun Sales Hit Another Record

 

Americans turned out in droves again last month to exercise their Second Amendment rights. According to new lawful background check numbers released by the National Shooting Sports Foundation, February 2021 firearm sales increased significantly over February 2020. 

"The February 2021 NSSF-adjusted National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) figure of 1,387,076 is an increase of 7.2 percent compared to the February 2020 NSSF-adjusted NICS figure of 1,294,123. For comparison, the unadjusted February 2021 FBI NICS figure 3,394,895 reflects a 22.3 percent increase from the unadjusted FBI NICS figure of 2,776,380 in February 2020," NSSF reports.

The numbers come as Democrats on Capitol Hill plan to ram through a new gun control bill without hearings or debate and as the Biden administration plans executive actions on the issue. 

"February’s adjusted NICS data shows us that Americans continue to purchase firearms in record numbers, while at the same time, their elected representatives in Washington, D.C. and the Biden administration plot to steal away their right to purchase firearms. It’s not lost on the firearm industry that after a year of record-setting figures for gun sales, Democrats favoring gun control in both chambers of Congress are ignoring the will of their voters and introducing legislation to limit the rights of law-abiding citizens instead of concentrating efforts to reduce crime. It is staggering the tone-deaf response by politicians to attempt to curb gun owners’ rights and ignore criminals that break the law," NSSF Director of Public Affairs Mark Oliva said about the numbers. 

"February 2021 was third highest on record and showed a 7.2 percent increase over February 2019. This is positive growth in the firearm market, even when compared to double-digit and triple-digit performance that has been sustained for a year. It isn’t clear that market demand has been satisfied and there are other factors to consider. Firearm retailers in many locations are still showing empty display cases and low inventory, indicating that firearms are still sought after," he continued.

Trump Gets It Right at CPAC

 

Donald Trump showed up at CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Conference, and reminded everyone why, with all his provocations, so many are still on board with him.

Our country IS in trouble -- big trouble.

No parent reading this would not be up in arms if his or her children were threatened.

Well, all Americans, including our children, are being threatened -- threatened by the militant left now holding the reins of power. It's why passions are running high.

Trump wasted no time getting to the heart of the matter.

"(W)e're in the middle of a historic struggle for America's future, America's culture and America's institutions, borders and most cherished principles," he said. "Our security, our prosperity, and our very identity as Americans is at stake, like perhaps at no other time."

The reason Trump stirs up so many is that he is right.

And it's the reason why those on the left hate him so much. He's got their number; he fearlessly calls them out, and he speaks directly into their insidious distortions and lies targeted to crush the core institutions that hold our country together.

Last year, I wrote about Black Lives Matter intimidating billboard company Clear Channel Outdoor to take down a billboard my organization posted in a poor Milwaukee neighborhood to encourage work, marriage, and education as the path out of poverty.

BLM, whose business is about blaming everyone else, would have none of this personal-responsibility message about dealing with poverty. And Clear Channel Outdoor immediately caved.

It's what's happening across the country, and we're losing our nation.

Our largest corporations are selling out to "woke" politics and undermining the very values of capitalism that built every one of those firms.

The Wall Street Journal points out that in the $1.9 trillion spending bill that Democrats now want to be enacted, COVID-19-related provisions tally up to some $825 billion. The rest, another trillion-plus, is simply expenditures for Democratic pet programs along for the ride.

Last year, government spending at the federal, state, and local levels came to 43.3% of the U.S. economy. Almost $1 out of every $2 produced by the nation's economy went to government.

Now Democrats want to add another $1.9 trillion on top of it.

It is clear that Democrats are not letting this crisis go to waste and want to use it as an opportunity to advance their agenda of socialism, secularism, and left-wing totalitarianism.

Here's Trump again: "The future of the Republican Party is as a party that defends the social, economic, and cultural interests and values of working American families of every race, color, and creed."

"Trumpism," he said, "means low taxes and eliminating job-killing regulations."

"We are committed to defending innocent life, and to upholding the Judeo-Christian values of our founders and of our founding," he said.

Democrats and the left have succeeded in redirecting attention from the accomplishments of Trump's four years as president -- 55% of Americans polled told Gallup last September that they were "better off now" than they were four years earlier -- to one unfortunate incident on Jan. 6.

But what some rowdies who got out of hand did to bricks and mortar for a few hours Democrats and the left have been doing to our whole country for years.

The Equality Act that Democrats now push denies the insurmountable reality of every man's and every woman's sexual identity coded by God and nature into their DNA and their soul.

One needn't agree with Donald Trump 100% of the time or be happy all the time with the way in which he delivers his message. But at a time when America as a free nation under God is under siege when a nation like Iran appears to be developing nuclear weapons when China is shutting down the bastion of democracy in Hong Kong, we need strong, tough leaders.

Donald Trump is strong, tough, and right.
