Hugh Hewitt explains why building the wall is imperative

Hugh Hewitt is one of the smartest people when it comes to policies. Frankly, I wish he was in the Senate right now so he could shake some sense into Senate Republicans who seem intent on throwing the GOP's best issue away. (In Iowa and New Hampshire, immigration/border security was the top issue in FNC's Voter Survey. Last week, 41% of voters in Iowa rated immigration/border security as their top priority. Last night in New Hampshire, 41% of New Hampshire voters named immigration/border security as their top issue.)

In this op-ed, Hewitt writes "The Wall isn’t one of five things that need doing. It is the first thing that must be done if the other things that need to be done are going to work. The Wall is a necessary but not sufficient national security measure. To repeat: It is the first thing that must be done. Other things are useful —more Border Patrol, more return flights, more detention facilities, more Administrative Law Judges and changes to the actual asylum and refugee law. All of it."

Here's Hugh's next paragraph in the op-ed:

But none of it matters without the Wall. The Wall is the "signal" amid the noise. It actually gets the message to the endless column of millions trudging north. That message is "Closed save by appointment."
Build the wall that Trump started building in 2017. As for Sen. McConnell, he said that the issue has has flipped. When Republicans started negotiating the border security/Ukraine bill, Ukraine was the sticking point. Now immigration is the sticking point. (It's 28:00 into this video:

According to Bret Baier, "Jake Sherman at Punchbowl News had this to say about a McConnell meeting with Republican senators. Sen. McConnell told a closed meeting of Republican senators today that 'the politics of the border has flipped and has cast doubt about linking Ukraine and the border.' He quotes McConnell as saying 'When we started this, the border united us and Ukraine divided us.'"

Sen. McConnell characterized Trump as the nominee, then said that Trump wanted to campaign on the issue. Trump has said publicly that the bill being negotiated by Sen. Jim Langford, Sen. Chris Murphy and Sen Kirsten Sinema wasn't a good bill, which it isn't. That's because the bill doesn't appropriate a penny for finishing building the wall. Until Democrats step forward and say that they're willing to build the wall, Republicans should break off negotiations with Democrats.

Slapping a bill together that doesn't fix this administration's open border's policies is worthless. This MSNBC interview is a pile of BS:

The Democrats aren't negotiating in good faith. They've said fromm the start that building the wall is a deal-breaker. That's proof that Biden's Democrats aren't negotiating in good faith. The bill that Democrats are pushing won't fix Biden's open borders.

This is the Democrats' attempt to codify into law the Democrats' open borders policies. If Democrats aren't serious about fixing the border, Democrats in the House and Senate should be forced into defending their open borders policies to the American people from now until Election Day.

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio
