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.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Image
Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

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

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
