John Barrasso breaks news on Trey Gowdy's program

Dr. Sen. John Barrasso broke some news while being interviewed by Trey Gowdy on Gowdy's Sunday Night In America program. Early in the interview, Gowdy asked Sen. Barrasso "How does this end. Democrats think that they have a political advantage right now. How do we get out of this?" Barrasso replied "Democrats care more about protecting criminal illegal immigrants than they care about protecting the American people. That's why we're in this situation right now. They want open borders and they want to shut down Immigration and Customs Enforcement and they voted that way in the Senate 7 times in the last couple of weeks. It's disgraceful. ... My hats off to President Trump for decisively telling Democrats 'Look, we're not going to be held hostage by the Democrats, by Chuck Schumer. We're going to pay the TSA agents, which is what he's done. The paychecks will go out tomorrow. I was on the phone with him Thursday night and we agreed we'd move ahead with reconciliation in the Senate. It is something that can be done with party lines alone. Republicans in the House, Republicans in the Senate, getting it to the President's desk and funding DHS, ICE Border Patrol, all of those way into the year 2030." That's major news, people:

It isn't surprising that they're opting for reconciliation. What's surprising is that Republicans opted to fund DHS through 2030. Saying that's unusual is understatement. Then again, this wouldn't have been required if Democrats had negotiated in good faith. They didn't. Now, they'll be known as the Democrats who a) own the 2 longest shutdowns in U.S. history and b) put the Democrat Party ahead of this nation's security.

There's no disputing that. It's out in the open for all the world to see. As a partisan Republican, I don't like this tactic being required. That being said, it's required because Democrats negotiated in bad faith. Democrats moved the goalposts multiple times. With a nation at war, it's irresponsible to not fund a major part of the national security apparatus. Finally, this will be part of Republicans' campaigns.

Proof that Tim Walz doesn't care about fraud or other crime

Anyone that thinks that Tim Walz, Minnesota's DFL governor, doesn't care about preventing crime or fraud hasn't read this article . Alpha News is reporting that "The Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) has confirmed that Dylan Adams, the fiscal policy analyst caught on video vandalizing Teslas in Minneapolis, is still employed by the state — meaning Minnesota taxpayers are footing the bill for his salary. In response to Alpha News inquiries, a DHS spokesperson said: "Dylan Adams is a current employee." Apparently, the Walz administration doesn't care that it's employing a vandal in its Department of Human Services. As for whether Adams "has faced consequences for racking up more than $21,000 in damage during work hours , the agency offered little transparency. 'No public data exists with respect to disciplinary action,' the spokesperson said." This reminds me of the old phrase I coined, which says 'It's impossible to...

Tim Walz doubling down on Gestapo speech

Image
When Tim Walz, Minnesota's DFL governor, delivered the commencement address for the University of Minnesota Law school, he didn't deliver the typical commencement speech. He delivered a highly partisan speech instead. Gov. Walz compared "federal law enforcement agents implementing President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown to a Nazi-era political police force." He called ICE agents Gestapo. Let's compare the 2. The Gestapo's mission was to rid Germany of Jews. To the Gestapo, it didn't matter that these Jews were German citizens and had been decades. Thanks to the Aryan Clauses, Jews were considered subhuman and weren't really Germans. That's an awfully racist viewpoint. Is Gov. Walz accusing law enforcement officers of being racists? I.C.E. I.C.E. agents enforce laws that bipartisan majorities in both houses of Congress have passed and that the president has signed. These immigration bills were negotiated between the 2 parties. The Aryan Clau...
