Why are they determined to leave those from countries with a culture of gun violence flood across our borders?
And how come liberals can’t recognize that perplexity?

The Democrat Party: Final Power Through Gun Control
We can’t say they didn’t warn US.
As the politicians and their marketers keep US enthralled not walled with the circus like rhetoric they use to talk around this Country’s lack of security, the democrats continue to push their death by disarmament campaign and display their UNcanny ability to pick up republican support as their enslaving America effort marches on UNceasingly.
From https://www.npr.org/2019/02/27/698512397/house-passes-most-significant-gun-bill-in-2-decades
…The vote on the first bill, dubbed the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019, passed largely along party lines 240 to 190 with Democrats who control the House cheering as they carried the legislation across the finish line.
A second bill, expected to be taken up Thursday, would extend the period federal authorities have to complete a background check before a gun sale can go through. Under current law, if a check isn’t finalized in three business days, the transaction can automatically proceed
As its name suggests, the first bill did garner modest GOP support, even attracting five Republican co-sponsors. Yet, in the end, only eight Republicans crossed party lines to support the bill.
In a statement John Feinblatt, president of the anti-gun violence group Everytown for Gun Safety, praised lawmakers for “stepping up.”
“We applaud Speaker Pelosi and the bipartisan coalition of House members who supported this bill for stepping up and doing their part to close the giant — and deadly — loopholes in America’s background checks law.”
Here is a list of restricted ‘loopholes’ Feinblatt believes will make the old law new again:
1. An amendment by Mr. Sensenbrenner amending section 3 to add a provision that would exempt from the bill’s background check requirement a transfer to an individual who is the holder of a valid permit to carry a concealed firearm, which has been issued by a state was defeated by a rollcall vote of 13 to 21.
2. An amendment by Mr. Gohmert amending section 3 to add a provision that would exempt the exchange of firearms from the bill’s background check requirement was defeated by a rollcall vote of 12 to 17.
3. An amendment by Mr. Gaetz to require the Attorney General to promulgate regulations to cap the amount a firearms dealer may charge at zero dollars for any transfer for which the background check is not complete within 24 hours and is ultimately approved was defeated by a rollcall vote of 15 to 18.
4. An amendment by Mr. Chabot amending section 3 to add an exemption from the bill’s background check requirement to allow a transfer to a law enforcement officer who is authorized to carry a firearm as part of his employment was defeated by a rollcall vote of 9 to 19.
5. An amendment by Mr. Johnson of Louisiana eliminating from the bill’s background check requirement certain requirements for a temporary transfer of a firearm to qualify under the bill’s exemptions was defeated by a rollcall vote of 11 to 18.
6. An amendment by Mr. Biggs adding a new section to the bill expressing a Sense of Congress that rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution should not be hampered by financial restrictions or constraints on the exercise of those rights; that the exercise of citizens’ Second Amendment rights must not be abridged or restricted
by burdensome payments or delays in the conduct of background checks for lawful firearms transfers; and that financial constraints have no place in the exercise of constitutional rights in that a citizen’s right to bear arms, just like a citizen’s right to vote, must not be qualified by the ability to pay a certain sum of money in order to exercise those rights was defeated by a rollcall vote of 13 to 20.
7. An amendment by Mr. Steube requiring regulations promulgated pursuant to section 922 of title 18, as amended by this measure, to require notification to the field office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the local law enforcement agency, the state law enforcement agency; and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
in the case of a person illegally or unlawfully in the United States was defeated by a rollcall vote of 14 to 20.
8. An amendment by Mrs. Lesko, as amended by Mr. Gaetz, to add an exemption from the bill’s background check requirement for a transfer to a victim of domestic violence or sexual assault who is to be protected under an order of protection issued by a court of law was defeated by a rollcall vote of 15 to 19.
9. An amendment by Mr. Reschenthaler to add an exemption from the bill’s background check requirement for a transfer by an individual who, by his or her own determination, may be a risk to himself or herself or others to a person who is not prohibited by federal law from receiving a firearm was defeated by a rollcall vote
of 15 to 20.
10. An amendment by Mr. Armstrong to add an exemption for a temporary transfer of a firearm for the purpose of hunting, trapping, fishing, ranching, farming, or target practice from the bill’s background check requirement, and eliminating provisions of the temporary transfer section that require transferors to have no reason
to believe that the transferee will use the firearm in a place where that is illegal and the transferor has reason to believe that the transferee will abide by all licensing and permit requirements for such hunting, trapping, and fishing; or the transferee will use the firearm in the transferor’s presence was defeated by a rollcall
vote of 15 to 23.
CHANGES IN EXISTING LAW MADE BY THE BILL, AS REPORTED
In compliance with clause 3(e) of rule XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives, changes in existing law made by the bill, as reported, are shown as follows (existing law proposed to be omitted is enclosed in black brackets, new matter is printed in italic, and existing law in which no change is proposed is shown in
roman):
Additionally, section 3 would authorize the Attorney General to promulgate any necessary regulations to implement this legislation.
Promulgate. Democrats use that word to convince people they are required to give the democrats their brains first then their balls and then their money. Not necessarily in that order nor Constitutional.
Here is the link to https://www.congress.gov/116/crpt/hrpt11/CRPT-116hrpt11.pdf. I suggest you scroll on down to the Dissenting Views portion first. It’s about 3/4’s of the way down the page. You can’t miss it.
The opposition’s views make me believe they are not the kind of Republicans who will side with the democrats when the time comes. The democrats planned attack on the Second Amendment is one I’m certain they have much faith in and the Republican reach-a-rounds will, after their phony BS soul-searching, announce they, in good conscience, are willing to stab the citizens in the back once more and support the weapons collection.
Read it. This new gun control act is phonier than Boeing’s ‘we like social justice warriors’ flight enticements. I’m figuring the democrats are going to stage their background psychotic events again and again as the new wave, newly elected Soros leftists introduce increasingly draconian gun laws in, excuse the pun, rapid fire succession injecting higher levels of mayhem into the process until their demands are acceptable to the RINO’s who will finally respond to the bipartisan dog whistle and sell this Country down the river faster than an Ethiopian landing.
Just trying to get up to speed with the enemy.

What’s the Democrat Machine Hiding Now?
This college admissions scam and the Alan Dershowitz expectation of it gaining “Great Scandal” standing with only a very weak supporting cast of Hollywood folk was a puzzlement for me. It turns out there is, under all that democrat detritus, a stench after all.
Because it brought to mind a Clinton administration attack on the U.S. Constitution I recently learned about, I’ll relate that story first. Remember, never let a crisis, even an unknown one, go to waste.
While upsetting to academics, the Fifth Circuit’s 1996 court ruling on Hopwood v Texas found that different admission policies for blacks, whites and browns are unconstitutional.
One angry Clinton bureaucrat, Norma V Cantu, threatened to cut off Federal funds if Texas state universities complied with that law.
Although I am old enough to remember a Clinton axis member’s attack of that magnitude on our liberty, for some reason it’s not familiar. Maybe the media failed to take note of it’s rejection.
Because you may be having the same problem recalling that story here’s a refresher from https://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2017/03/the-office-for-civil-rights-volatile-power/519072/
…When George H. W. Bush took office, it initially looked as if he would continue his predecessor’s neglect of the OCR. The assistant secretary for civil rights position was left empty for over a year, but when Michael L. Williams was confirmed, he set a new tone by meeting with civil-rights groups. He declared that he would use compliance reviews to enforce the law, review policies put in place by the previous administration, make certain the office would be more transparent, and request more funding for the OCR. He had “determined upon [his] arrival that insufficient resources had been devoted to the performance of critical legal, policy, and enforcement activities.”
Williams soon lost the goodwill he earned. At the end of 1990, he declared that scholarships based on race were illegal. He did so without approval from the Bush administration and ignited furor among college administrators and civil-rights groups. Williams’s credibility was lost, and he accomplished little during the rest of his tenure. When Richard Riley, Bill Clinton’s secretary of education, took over the department, he declared that race-exclusive scholarships were legal as long as they were intended to increase diversity or redress past discrimination.
Riley took over an office that had been largely written off by much of the civil-rights community. When Norma V. Cantu, who had been a lawyer for the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, became the assistant secretary for civil rights in 1993, she told a reporter, “Staff have told me some stories about how in previous administrations, civil rights had not been dealt with in a serious manner.” She accused her predecessor of leaving the extant cases in a “state of disarray.”
A self-professed and proud “product of affirmative action,” Cantu pushed the office to be more proactive. She was accused, at the time of her appointment, by one conservative opponent of “having a zeal for social engineering.” Under her direction, the OCR undertook more investigations and broadened its scope. Instead of investigating only the schools that were the directs targets of a complaint, the office investigated the whole district and the whole state. Sounding like the critics of the Obama administration, The Weekly Standard complained at the time, “If Congress doesn’t check Norma Cantu’s runaway leftism, it won’t really be fair to complain that she holds herself above the law. Congress will have decided: Ms. Cantu is the law.”…
That sounds mii-tee familiar, dontcha think? Leftist just don’t have an acceptable bone in their body when it comes to recognizing other people rights.
Speaking of rights, back to the stench mentioned early on…

Some key information
Rick Springer’s LinkedIn page alleges he’s a stonemason but the closest connection to Rick Springer, stonemason, I could find after a search was a reference to a mason shown preparing a “springer” stone to cap the center pier.
As for me… a happy ending! Even if it turns out to be a fairy tale.
You have to scroll down even though it says “Cannot connect” otherwise you’ll miss the happy ending.
After Obama, Bushes and Clintons
Mike Pompeo’s explanation of why socialism leads to failure sounds almost like a brand new philosophical advancement. I wonder if it will shut up or enrage democrats?

You Sure Turning Your Mind Over to Socialist Leaders Is What You want?
If socialism/communism starts well at the onset of it’s transformation from a free society, it is only because capitalist produced leftovers will still function for awhile, not because those true believers who knew how to manipulate the proletariat know anything about productive work; and certainly not because the true believers respect the proletariat ability to keep society functioning.
It’s because they haven’t started shooting those who disagree with them.

Venezuela’s nationwide blackout left large areas of the country in chaos on Friday, crippling day-to-day functioning of hospitals and other public services.
Witnesses described scenes of chaos at several hospitals as relatives tried to move patients in the dark to clinics with better emergency power facilities.
Marielsi Aray, a patient at the University Hospital suffering from an aggravated infection, died at dawn on Friday after her respirator stopped working, her uncle Jose Lugo said.
“The doctors tried to help her by pumping manually, they did everything they could, but with no electricity, what were they to do?” a distraught Lugo told AFP.
Wiping away tears, he described how his niece had been brought to the bottom of the 11-story Caracas hospital on a stretcher after the elevators stopped working.
“They got her to the ground floor where they had electricity, and connected her up but because of the transfer and the waiting and everything, she faded away,” he said.
The power cut compounded an atmosphere of chaos that has gripped the South American nation, already battered by economic collapse, since opposition leader Juan Guaido declared himself interim president in January and asserted that President Nicolas Maduro was no longer legitimate.
Lugo said another patient had died in the parking lot in the chaos of the blackout, as people “tried to get sick people out of here and move them to other places where they had generators and equipment that would work.”
“The screaming was brutal,” he said.
Emergency generators fail
Backup generators at the JM de Rios children’s hospital in downtown Caracas failed to kick in when the blackout hit, said Gilbert Altuvez, whose eight-year-old boy is among the patients.
“The night was terrible. Without light. Total madness,” he said.
When more generators were brought to supply emergency power, they weren’t enough. “None managed to supply it completely,” said Altuvez, 38.
Emilse Arellano said urgent dialysis for her youngest child had to be cancelled on Friday, after a night during which staff worked by the light of cellphones.
“The children were very scared,” she told AFP.
The putrid odour of rotting flesh hung around the entrance to Caracas’ main Bello Monte morgue on Friday where the refrigeration system had stopped working.
Worried relatives gathered outside, waiting for bodies to be handed over so they could bury their dead.
“We can’t take in any more corpses,” an employee said on condition of anonymity.
Luis Moises Guerra had come to collect the body of his son, Johan, a gunshot victim killed three days ago.
“This is the second day I’ve spent here and now there is no light,” said Guerra. “If they don’t give me the body of my son today I’ll leave it here and I won’t come back anymore.”
Guaido told supporters in Caracas it wasn’t normal “that 50 percent of the hospitals in the country don’t have electric plant” to be able to cope with such an emergency.
The National Assembly leader is recognised as interim president by more than 50 countries who agree that Maduro’s re-election was illegitimate.
Technocrats Take A Big Bite of the Democrat Ass
[The late] EIR founder, Lyndon LaRouche, [was]is the leader of the global forces seeking to replace geopolitics and imperial warfare with a New Paradigm of relations among nations based upon cooperative development of science, technology and infrastructure, reaching from Earth into the galaxy.
That’s from Lyndon LaRouche
This is where the ass is served up:
My instinctual expectation is still that technocracy will be used to massively reduce the numbers of humanity and enslave the survivors.
But it does look like all they left for the rabid socialist Party youth to munch on is charred bones.
Border At ‘Breaking Point,’ New York Times Reports
Two and a half weeks after President Donald J. Trump declared a National Emergency to address the crisis on our border, mainstream media outlets have dug into the numbers—and the personal stories—surrounding America’s broken immigration system.
What they’ve found comes as a shock to many Americans who never knew the trauma felt by those living in the shadows—including both U.S. citizens and migrants alike:
“More than 76,000 migrants crossed the border without authorization in February, more than double the levels from the same period last year and approaching the largest numbers seen in any February in the last 12 years,” The New York Times reported today.
On Sunday, The New York Times published firsthand accounts of “the hidden nightmare of sexual violence on the border,” citing President Trump’s quote that “one in three women are sexually assaulted on the dangerous trek up through Mexico.”
On February 15, after President Trump’s border announcement, CNN’s Jim Acosta spoke with an “angel mom” immigrant whose only son was murdered by a previously deported criminal alien. “President Trump is completely correct on this issue—we need to protect this country,” she told CNN.
This morning, the Department of Homeland Security released staggering numbers that put these stories in context. American law enforcement officers are apprehending more than 2,000 aliens every day at our Southern border. All told, U.S. Border Patrol has apprehended over 268,000 individuals since the beginning of this fiscal year in October—a 97 percent increase from the previous year.
Democrat leaders are holding firm. “There is no crisis at the border,” the Democrat House Majority Leader insisted a little more than a week ago.
To their credit, however, more journalists are starting to simply tell the stories of what’s happening on our border—and letting Americans decide for themselves what they think about it.
These reports are welcome. The ongoing humanitarian and security disaster at our border shouldn’t be a partisan issue, and the heart-wrenching stories it causes shouldn’t be told only by conservative media. A modern, safe, and secure immigration system would be a bipartisan triumph that renews Americans’ faith in Washington.
The only thing standing in our way is the political will.
Our country is facing a growing emergency at the border.
