D.J.T.

Let’s pause and take a long, honest look at this man. A man who should be resting comfortably in a retirement most people can only dream of—a billionaire in his late seventies, with every reason to disappear from public life and enjoy the fruits of his labor. He built a real estate empire, raised a strong family, created jobs, earned the respect of business leaders across the globe, and lived in luxury most of us will never experience.

And yet—he didn’t fade away. He didn’t chase beach houses and board seats. He didn’t cash in like so many others. No. This man walked straight into the political furnace and offered to work for us.

 

Donald J. Trump didn’t need power. He already had it. He didn’t need fame. He was already a household name. And he certainly didn’t need the money—he gave up billions to serve as President. In fact, he did the job for just one dollar a year. Name one other leader—Republican, Democrat, or Independent—who ever sacrificed so much, just to be ridiculed by the very people he was trying to help.

Most men his age are waking up late, playing golf, spending time with grandchildren, and enjoying a quiet life in one of their many homes. Not Trump. He’s up before the sun and coming home well past midnight. Exhausted. Tie undone. Hat in hand. And still—he fights. Not for recognition. Not for power. But for us.

For the hardworking Americans forgotten by both parties. For the small-town families crushed by inflation and elitist policies. For the inner-city kids robbed of opportunity. For the unborn. For the factory worker, the truck driver, the police officer, the farmer, the single mom. He fights for them all—and asks for nothing in return.

And what does he get in exchange?

Lies. Smears. Endless investigations. Personal attacks. Mockery of his wife and young son. Disrespect from a media class that worships every word of corrupt career politicians but tears down a man who actually does what he promises.

They call him racist while he passed criminal justice reform, funded HBCUs permanently, and created the lowest Black and Hispanic unemployment rates in recorded history.

They call him greedy while he lost more personal wealth as President than any leader in modern history.

They call him authoritarian while he slashed government red tape and gave more freedom back to the people than any administration in decades.
They mock his speaking style, his tweets, his rough edges—because he doesn’t sound like the polished phonies they’re used to. But you know what? America doesn’t need another smooth-talking liar. We’ve had enough of those. We needed someone real. Someone willing to be hated for doing the right thing.

He’s not perfect—but he’s the perfect man for the job.

Trump wasn’t created in a political lab. He doesn’t come with pre-packaged talking points and photo ops. He’s a fighter. Flawed, yes. But fearless. And fiercely loyal to the American people.

What other leader has endured so much hatred and still kept going? What other man would step back into the fire again after being burned so many times—just to finish what he started?

He could have walked away. He had every reason to. But he didn’t. He’s back. And he’s not back for himself—he’s back for you.

And still, there are people who claim they “just don’t like him,” but when pressed for why, they mumble half-truths spoon-fed to them by CNN and late-night comedians. They’ve been told what to think. Programmed to hate. Conditioned to sneer at the man who gave up everything to protect their future.

And yet—he keeps showing up.

So before you write your next snarky tweet or parrot another media talking point, ask yourself this:

Would you give up everything you had, risk your safety and your family’s peace, just to be insulted and harassed every single day by people you’re trying to help?

Would you show up to work at 2:00 AM if your job was thankless, dangerous, and despised by half the country?

Would you run into the fire for people who hate you?
He did. And he’s doing it again.

Not because he has to.

But because he believes in you.

Donald J. Trump is not the problem. He is the mirror. And some people hate what they see reflected back at them—courage, loyalty, sacrifice, and conviction.

He is the man standing between you and a political class that thinks you’re too dumb to decide your own future.

He is the man who refused to bow to the global elites, the media mob, or the corrupt establishment.

And whether they like it or not… he’s the man coming back to finish the job.

Thank you, Mr. President. For every long night. For every sacrifice. For never giving up.

America sees you. And real Americans stand with you.

BREAKING: President Trump is not holding back on his criticism of former President Barack Obama as the perpetrator of the 2016 election fraud and "coup" attempt. July 22, 2025  Caleb Parke

"He's guilty," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.

"This is treason, Trump added. "This was every word you can think of. They tried to steal the election. They tried to obfuscate the election."

Trump continued, "And we have all of the documents. From what Tulsi told me, she's got thousands of additional documents coming."

"So President Obama, it was his concept, his idea. But he also got it from Crooked Hillary Clinton – crooked as a $3 bill."

"Hillary Clinton and her group, the Democrats, spent $12 million to Christopher Steele to write up a report that was a total fake report. Took two years to figure that out, but it came out that it was a total fake report."

It was made up fiction, and they used that. The one thing they weren't able to do was to — and probably the only thing I respect about the press in years — is the press refused to write it before the election."

"They refused to put it in. The Steele report was a disaster. All lies, all fabrication, all admitted and admitted fraud."

"This is like proof, irrefutable proof that Obama was seditious, that Obama was trying to lead a coup," Trump said. "And it was with Hillary Clinton, with all these other people. But Obama headed it up. And, you know, I get a kick when I hear everyone talks about people I've never even heard of. It was this one."

"No, no, it was Obama. He headed it up and it says so right in the papers. Got everything, got everything. This is the biggest scandal in the history of our country. And it really goes on to even the autopen."

Trump said he wants to see "very severe consequences" for all the election fraudsters.

"What they did to this country in 2016, starting in 2016, but going up all the way, going up to 2020 and the election, they tried to rig the election and they got caught. And there should be very severe consequences for that."

"You know, when we caught Hillary Clinton, I said, you know what? Let's not go too far here. It's the ex-wife of a president. And I thought it was sort of terrible. And I let her off the hook, and I'm very happy I did."

Trump admitted the gloves are off after the lawfare he had faced from the same Obama-guided group.

"But it's time to start, after what they did to me, and whether it's right or wrong, it's time to go after people," Trump said. "Obama's been caught directly. So people say, 'oh, you know, a group.'

"It's not a group, it's Obama. His orders are on the paper. The papers are signed. The papers came right out of their office. They sent everything to be highly classified."

"Well, the highly classified has been released. And what they did in 2016 and in 2020 is very criminal. It's criminal at the highest level. So that's really the things you should be talking about."

The Russians had dirt on Hillary Clinton the entire time… and Obama knew it!

Ken Blackwell July 23 2025

That’s the real story. Not Trump. Not fake dossiers. Not collusion.
The Russians were sitting on damaging intel about Hillary’s mental health, drug use, and obsession with power during the 2016 election. And Tulsi Gabbard just released the documents to prove it.

According to the intelligence report, Russia knew that the DNC was concerned about Clinton’s health.

She reportedly had “intensified psycho-emotional problems,” was on heavy tranquilizers, and was obsessed with power.”

This wasn’t speculation. It wasn’t Republican talking points.
It was Russian intelligence. And the Obama administration had it in hand.
So let’s ask the obvious question:
If Putin wanted Trump to win, why didn’t he leak that?

Why didn’t he blast Hillary’s health problems all over the media?

Why didn’t he use that dirt to crush her candidacy?

Because Russia probably thought Clinton was going to win, which would be good for them because they had all this dirt on her.

That is how foreign adversaries operate. They don’t support the outsider they can’t predict. They bet on the corrupt insider they already own.

But rather than tell the truth, President Obama ordered the Intelligence Community to make it look like Trump’s a Russian puppet.

He flipped the story. He ignored the real threat. He covered for Clinton. And he weaponized American intelligence to frame Donald Trump.

This was a planned and coordinated coup.

Obama didn’t act to protect democracy. He acted to protect Hillary, himself, and the entire political machine that was about to lose control of Washington.

They spent four years chasing a lie.

They wasted $40 million on a fake investigation.

They destroyed lives.

And they called anyone who questioned it a traitor.

Meanwhile, the Russians had leverage on the one person they were all protecting.

Hillary Clinton.

Let that sink in.

Tulsi Gabbard just did what no one else in government had the guts to do. She released the truth. She exposed the real story. And now Obama, Clinton, and every deep state hack involved should be facing legal consequences.

Obama lied. Clinton was compromised. Brennan obeyed. And the country paid the price.

They told us Trump was the risk.

They told us he was the foreign agent.

Now we know who really was.

And we are not going to forget.

The Founding of the United States

On This Day in History > July 5, 1775:

Congress adopts Olive Branch Petition

"On July 5, 1775, the Continental Congress adopts the Olive Branch Petition, written by John Dickinson, which appeals directly to King George III and expresses hope for reconciliation between the colonies and Great Britain. Dickinson, who hoped desperately to avoid a final break with Britain, phrased colonial opposition to British policy as follows: “Your Majesty’s Ministers, persevering in their measures, and proceeding to open hostilities for enforcing them, have compelled us to arm in our own defence, and have engaged us in a controversy so peculiarly abhorrent to the affections of your still faithful Colonists, that when we consider whom we must oppose in this contest, and if it continues, what may be the consequences, our own particular misfortunes are accounted by us only as parts of our distress.”

By phrasing their discontent this way, Congress attempted to notify the king that American colonists were unhappy with ministerial policy, not his own. They concluded their plea with a final statement of fidelity to the crown: “That your Majesty may enjoy long and prosperous reign, and that your descendants may govern your Dominions with honour to themselves and happiness to their subjects, is our sincere prayer.”

By July 1776, the Declaration of Independence proclaimed something very different: “The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.” Congress’ language is critical to understanding the seismic shift that had occurred in American thought in just 12 months. Indeed, Congress insisted that Thomas Jefferson remove any language from the declaration that implicated the people of Great Britain or their elected representatives in Parliament. The fundamental grounds upon which Americans were taking up arms had shifted. The militia that had fired upon Redcoats at Lexington and Concord had been angry with Parliament, not the king, who they still trusted to desire only good for all of his subjects around the globe.

This belief changed after King George refused to so much as receive the Olive Branch Petition. Patriots had hoped that Parliament had curtailed colonial rights without the kings full knowledge, and that the petition would cause him to come to his subjects’ defense. When George III refused to read the petition, Patriots realized that Parliament was acting with royal knowledge and support. Americans’ patriotic rage was intensified by the January 1776 publication by English-born radical Thomas Paine of Common Sense, an influential pamphlet that attacked the monarchy, which Paine claimed had allowed crowned ruffians to impoverish the nation and set it together by the ears."

Kachelman: Celebrating Life Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness this 4th ofJuly  thegatewaypundit. 

This Declaration poignantly asserted the Colonies’ “inalienable rights” to be independent. These are natural rights of all mankind. It is the responsibility of the government to protect those rights. No longer would King George III dictate what the national citizenry’s sovereignty should decide in the North American colonies.

The Preamble is internationally known and respected. It outlines how the individual and not the Monarchy is independent to act and choose equality, the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. A significant part of the Preamble asserts that the government derives its power from the consent of the governed citizens!

This was a revolutionary concept.

It dared suggest that citizens hold the power to direct government instead of the government holding power to direct the citizens; the individual decides what the State is to do rather than the State deciding what the individual is to do!

In the era of the “divine right of Kings,” this was a treasonous concept.

Our Declaration of Independence stresses the inherent rights of individuals. These rights must not be surrendered or taken away. These inalienable rights confirm the individual is more valuable than the State. When these rights are violated, the Declaration argues it is the duty of the people to alter or abolish a government seeking to remove the role of the citizen and destroy individualism replacing it with onerous State Government regulations.

 THE FABULOUS FIFTIES

Born between 1930 and 1946 places you in an exceptionally small group – just 1% of your generation remains today. Ranging in age from 77 to 93, your lifetime represents a singular period in human history

Consider this....

You entered a world of difficulty. Your generation emerged from the Great Depression and witnessed a global war. You experienced rationing, collected scrap metal, and practiced resourcefulness – waste was avoided.jsYou recall home delivery of fresh milk. Life was less complex, focused on essential needs. Discipline was a consistent element from both parents and educators, with little tolerance for justifications.

Your imagination served as your entertainment. Without television, you engaged in outdoor play and constructed elaborate mental worlds based on radio broadcasts. Families gathered to listen to news and programs together.

Technology was rudimentary. Telephones were shared, calculations were manual, and newspapers were the main source of information. Thoughts were recorded on typewriters, not computers.

Your early years were stable. The post-WWII period ushered in a hopeful future – absent of terrorism, the internet, and discussions about global warming. It was a prosperous time marked by optimism, progress, and security.

You are the final generation to have lived when:

Black-and-white television was advanced technology.

Major roads were not yet freeways.

Shopping involved visits to central business districts.Polio was a significant health threat.

While your parents dedicated themselves to rebuilding after the war, you matured in an environment of abundant opportunities. You flourished during an era of peace, advancement, and safety that the world may never again experience.If you are beyond 77 years old, feel a sense of pride in having navigated these remarkable times. You are among the fortunate 1% who can truthfully say, “I lived through the best of times.”

Obama and Bush Unite in Rare Move Against Trump  Story by Leigh Kimmins...The Daily Beast

Former presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush have joined forces to shoot down President Trump’s “colossal mistake” to shutter the U.S. Agency for International Development.The Trump administration
cut
around 90 percent of USAID’s foreign aid contracts during Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) rampage back in February. Musk oversaw the depletion of the workforce from 10,000 to less than 300.
The agency will be absorbed by the state department, where it will be replaced by a new organization called America First.

In a farewell video message to staffers on Monday, USAID’s last day before it is folded into the state department, the two former presidents decried its treatment by Trump.

“Gutting USAID is a travesty, and it’s a tragedy. Because it’s some of the most important work happening anywhere in the world,” said Obama, in private comments obtained by Associated Press.

The former president, who served from 2009 to 2017, predicted that “sooner or later, leaders on both sides of the aisle will realise how much you are needed.” He added that “your work has mattered and will matter for generations to come.”

Bush, the 43rd president of the United States from 2001 to 2009, was even stronger-handed in his message.

The Republican spoke about cuts to the President’s Emergency Plan for Aids Relief (Pepfar), saying: “Is it in our national interests that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is, and so do you.”

He added: “You’ve showed the great strength of America through your work – and that is your good heart.”

Singer and activist Bono got in on the act, too. He recited a poem, specially written for the occasion, telling the crowd: “They called you crooks/When you were the best of us.”

Meanwhile, a study published inThe Lancet medical journal claims that USAID cuts could lead to 14 million avoidable deaths by 2030.

“Beyond causing millions of avoidable deaths — particularly among the most vulnerable — these cuts risk reversing decades of progress in health and socioeconomic development in LMICs [low and middle-income countries],” the report added.

The study surmised that the agency had already prevented the deaths of more than 91 million people, many of them children.

In response to the comments from Obama and Bush, the White House told the Daily Beast that America’s international partners “want to be self-reliant.”

“America remains the most generous country in the world because President Trump has a humanitarian heart, and partner countries want to be self-reliant in addressing the needs of their people,” a spokesperson said.

“The Trump administration is ensuring all programs funded by American taxpayers align with American interests, just as this President was elected to do.”

Belated but genuine

 

 Why the riots are so bad in L A

Herbert J. Baumann March 21, 2018 This teacher really lays it out - it can’t get much worse.

Nine hundred teachers just got laid off from the Los Angeles Unified School District. They are $650,000 over their annual budget.

The following comments by an English teacher help to explain one area that looms large over California's educational crisis. I hope each person receiving this mail will read it carefully, all the way to the end. It is sad what is happening to our great country, all because our politicians are afraid they will miss out on a vote. What a travesty!

This English teacher has phrased it the best I've seen yet and it should make everyone think, be you Democrat, Republican or
Independent.

From a California school teacher....
As you listen to the news about the student protests over illegal immigration, there are some things that you should be aware of: I am in charge of the English-as-a-second-language department at a large southern California high school which is designated a Title-1 school, meaning that its students average in the lower socio-economic and income levels.

Most of the schools you are hearing about are Compton, South Gate High, Bell Gardens, Huntington Park, etc., where their students are protesting – these are also Title-1 schools.

Title-1 schools are on the free-breakfast and free-lunch program. When I say free breakfast, I'm not talking about a glass of milk and a roll. But a full breakfast and cereal bar with fruits and juices that would make the Marriott proud. The waste of this food is monumental, with trays and trays of it being dumped in the trash uneaten. (Our tax dollars at work!)

I estimate that well over 50% of these students are obese or at least moderately overweight. About 75% or more have cell phones. The school also provides day care centers for the unwed teenage pregnant girls (some as young as 13) so they can attend class without the inconvenience of having to arrange for babysitters or having family watch their kids. (More of our tax dollars at work!)

I was ordered to spend $700,000 on my department, or risk losing funding for the upcoming year even though there was little need for anything. My budget was already substantial, but I ended up buying new computers for the Computer Learning Center, half of which, one month later, were carved with graffiti by the appreciative students who obviously feel humbled and grateful to have a free education in America. (More and more of our tax dollars at work!)

I have had to intervene several times for young substitute teachers whose classes consist of many illegal immigrant students here in the country less than 3 months, who raised so much hell with the female teachers, calling them putas (whores) and throwing things, that the teachers were in tears.

Free medical care, free education, free food, free day care, etc., etc., etc. Is it any wonder they feel entitled not only to be in this country, but also to demand rights, privileges and entitlements?

To those who want to point out how much these illegal immigrants contribute to our society, because they happen to like their gardener and/or housekeeper, and they like to pay less for tomatoes, I say: Spend some time in the real world of illegal immigration and see the true costs.

Higher insurance, medical facilities closing, higher medical costs, more crime, lower standards of education in our schools, overcrowding, new diseases, etc., etc., etc. For me, I'll pay more for tomatoes.

Americans, we need to wake up. The guest worker program will be a disaster because we won't have the guts to enforce it. Does anyone in their right mind really think they will voluntarily leave and return?
It does, however, have everything to do with culture: A third-world culture that does not value education, that accepts children getting pregnant and dropping out of school by age 15, and that refuses to assimilate, plus an American culture that has become so weak and worried about "political correctness," that we don't have the will to do what is needed.

If this makes your blood boil, as it did mine, forward this to everyone you know including your Congressman and Senators.

Cheap labor? Isn't that what the whole immigration issue is about? Business doesn't want to pay a decent wage.

Consumers don't want expensive produce. Government will tell you 'Americans don't want the jobs.'

But the bottom line is cheap labor. The phrase "cheap labor" is a myth, a farce, and a lie. There is no such thing as "cheap labor."
Take, for example, an illegal alien with a wife and five children. He takes a job for $5.00 or $6.00/hour. At that wage, with six
dependents, he pays no income tax, yet at the end of the year, if he files an income tax return, he gets an "earned income credit" of up to $3,200, free.

Also....
1 He qualifies for Section-8 housing and subsidized rent;
2 He qualifies for food stamps;
3 He qualifies for free (no deductible, no co-pay) health care;
4 His children get free breakfasts and lunches at school;
6 He requires bilingual teachers and books;
7 He qualifies for relief from high energy bills;
8 If they are, or become aged, blind or disabled, they qualify for SSI;
9 Once qualified for SSI they can qualify for Medicare (All of this at taxpayer's {our} expense);
10 He doesn't worry about car insurance, life insurance, or
homeowner’s insurance;
11 Taxpayers provide Spanish language signs, bulletins and printed material;
12 He and his family receive the equivalent of $20.00 to $30.00/hour
in benefits;
13 Working Americans are lucky to have $5.00 or $6.00/hour left after
paying their bills and his;
14 The American taxpayers also pays for increased crime, graffiti and
trash clean-up.

Cheap labor? Yeah right! Wake up people! These are the questions we
should be addressing to the Presidential candidates for either party.
We must take action or we will all go down the drain because a few don't care. And if you think this is bad, just wait until a Democrat becomes President and the redistribution of wealth becomes the norm in this ex-Democracy.

Drain The Swamp

The Mexican Rioters in California claim they are fighting to take back THEIR STOLEN land. They claim California is Mexico and it is Stolen Land. That's why they're carrying Mexican flags and burning the American flag.

Guess what? NO!\

The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, signed on February 2, 1848, officially ended the Mexican-American War (1846–1848). Under its terms, Mexico ceded 55% of its territory to the United States, including present-day California, Nevada, Utah, most of Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and parts of Wyoming, Kansas, and Oklahoma.

Mexico also relinquished all claims to Texas and recognized the Rio Grande as its southern boundary.

In exchange, the United States paid Mexico $15,000,000 and agreed to settle claims made by U.S. citizens against Mexico. The treaty was negotiated by Nicholas Trist, a U.S. diplomat, despite being recalled by President James K. Polk. The U.S. Senate ratified the treaty on March 10, 1848, and Mexico ratified it on May 19, 1848.

In 1853 the USA offered Mexico $10,000,000 to make the Gadsen Purchase.

The Gadsden Purchase was an agreement between the United States and Mexico in 1854, in which the United States paid Mexico $10,000,000 for a 29,670 square mile portion of Mexico that later became part of Arizona and New Mexico. The purchase was made to secure a good route for a railroad across the Southwest to California. It is named after James Gadsden, a U.S. businessman who helped bring about the purchase.

This treaty significantly shaped the modern U.S.-Mexico border and had lasting political consequences in both countries

Additional USA land purchases: Louisiana Purchase from the French for $15,000,000, Alaska from the Russians for $7,200,000, and the Panama Canal Zone from Panama for $10,000,000 plus $250,000 yearly. The US paid France $40,000,000 for their failed work on the canal.

All told, the US spent over $350,000,000 just bringing the Panama Canal to Market. The human toll was about 25,000 dead. Many were Americans, but most were West Indians.

 

 

EXCLUSIVEDR PHIL: I know what REALLY led to the ICE raids that triggered the LA riots... and it's not what the reckless media is telling you

By DR PHIL MCGRAW FOR DAILYMAIL.COM
Published: 17:05 EDT, 12 June 2025 | Updated: 17:27 EDT, 12 June 2025

Over the past several days, all manner of allegations have been made about legal and targeted federal immigration enforcement operations in Los Angeles — and my apparent involvement in them.

So many of these claims are untrue, provoking unnecessary distractions and more of the destructive rage that already pervades too much of our political dialogue.

So allow me to set the record straight.

Despite the so-called 'reporting,' I was not actually 'embedded' with Immigration and Customs enforcement officers making arrests during the raids in LA on Friday, June 6.

I was privy to the parameters of the operation and conducted an on-camera interview with Border Czar Tom Homan the evening before the Friday operation and on the Saturday morning afterward for broadcast on MeritTV.

I was also present for a multi-agency briefing early Friday morning at ICE's LA headquarters involving the FBI, ATF, US Marshal Service and the IRS. I garnered additional insights from Mr. Homan as we drove through the area Friday.

And contrary to what's been reported — or more accurately, not reported — in the mainstream media, federal activities on June 6 did not conduct a random round-up of illegal immigrants in Los Angeles.

Rather, their coordinated multi-agency operations were conducted pursuant to a duly authorized federal search warrant — not a rumor nor hunch.

To obtain a search warrant, the government is required to present evidence to a federal judge who will evaluate if there is probable cause to issue such a warrant and that was done regarding a particular company in LA.

The primary business targeted in Friday's operations was Ambiance Apparel, which, I'm told, is suspected of involvement in criminal activity.

And this is not the first time that this company has been in hot water. In 2020, the business and its owner, Sang Bum 'Ed' Noh were accused by federal prosecutors of undervaluing imports and skirting millions of dollars in tariffs. Ambiance Apparel pleaded guilty to eight offenses, such as conspiracy and money laundering, and Noh was sentenced to a year in prison.

Now, according to the White House border czar Tom Homan, the troubled manufacturer is being investigated again for alleged money laundering, tax evasion and customs fraud.After federal officers raided that company facility, they audited the workforce and reportedly encountered some 40 individuals believed to be in the US illegally. Following US law, they took those individuals into custody.

Following US law, they took those individuals into custody.

I was at ICE's LA headquarters when these individuals were brought in, and I can report that these people were treated with dignity and respect, offered food and water and then interviewed.

In short, Friday operations were a strategic enforcement of the law — deliberate and legally sanctioned. But the response of some so-called activists, on the other hand, have been dangerous, destructive and utterly lawless.

Rioters attacked law enforcement officers throwing chunks of broken concrete and other projectiles at moving vehicles. Others blocked agents from doing their jobs. Still more rampaged through the city looting, destroying public property and even torching cars in the streets.

For what?

I've spoken extensively to Border czar Homan and President Donald Trump about their immigration enforcement goals, which are to close the southern border with Mexico, prioritize the deportations of the most dangerous illegal immigrants in the country, finally, to find an estimated 300,000 undocumented children who have gone missing over the last several years.

Some of these children have very likely found their way to families, but an untold number of these vulnerable minors have been pushed into prostitution and forced labor, and they need to be rescued.

Additionally, after these children are located, they'll require medical, psychological and sociological services to help them recover from the inevitable trauma that they've suffered.

Who among us would object to these priorities? Yet, Los Angeles erupted into chaos.

Where were these protesters when President Barack Obama was deporting 2.8 million illegal immigrants during his administration? Perhaps, today's 'activists' are motivated more by politics than principle.

The truth, though it may be hard to hear, can't be avoided: laws are not suggestions. They aren't 'optional,' and being a good person or worker does not grant immunity from them.

If these impassioned protesters really want change, they should show up in Washington, DC, to protest Congress or write to their representatives to demand legislative reform.

While the right to peaceful protest is the cornerstone of our democracy, the ICE agents who risked their safety to perform their jobs are neither politicians nor lawmakers. They did not put pen to paper to propose these policies – they are merely operating under a sworn duty to enforce the law, not rewrite it.

But throwing rocks at law enforcement officers? Blocking vehicles? That's not speech, it is criminal conduct, plain and simple — and it certainly should not deter ICE operations.

Make no mistake the violence perpetrated against ICE and other law enforcement officers is not a negotiation for justice. It is a demand for surrender. But that cannot happen.

If you want to change immigration policy — fine. Let's have that debate. Let's talk reform.

We need more truth, not more rage. And we need a media willing to inform, not inflame.

Ambassador Stevens was sent to Benghazi to secretly retrieve US made Stinger Missiles that the State Dept had supplied to Ansar al Sharia in Libya WITHOUT Congressional oversight or permission.

Sec State Hillary Clinton had brokered the Libya deal through Ambassador Stevens and a Private Arms Dealer named Marc Turi, but some of the shoulder fired Stinger Missiles ended up in Afghanistan where they were used against our own military. On July 25th, 2012, a US Chinook helicopter was downed by one of them. Not destroyed only because the idiot Taliban didn't arm the missile. The helicopter didn't explode, but it had to land and an ordnance team recovered the missile’s serial number which led back to a cache of Stinger Missiles kept in

Qatar by the CIA.

Obama and Hillary were in full panic mode, so Ambassador Stevens was sent to Benghazi to retrieve the rest of the Stinger Missiles. This was a "do-or-die" mission, which explains the Stand Down Orders given to multiple rescue teams during the siege of the US Embassy.

It was the State Dept, NOT the CIA, that supplied the Stinger Missiles to our sworn enemies because Gen. Petraeus at CIA would not approve supplying the deadly missiles due to their potential use against commercial aircraft. So then, Obama threw Gen. Petraeus under the bus when he refused to testify in support of Obama’s phony claim of a “spontaneous uprising caused by a YouTube video that insulted Muslims.”

Obama and Hillary committed TREASON!

THIS is what the investigation is all about, WHY she had a Private Server, (in order to delete the digital evidence), and WHY Obama, two weeks after the attack, told the UN that the attack was the result of the YouTube video, even though everyone KNEW it was not.

Furthermore, the Taliban knew that the administration had aided and abetted the enemy WITHOUT Congressional oversight or permission, so they began pressuring (blackmailing) the Obama Administration to release five Taliban generals being held at Guantanamo.

Bowe Bergdahl was just a useful pawn used to cover the release of the Taliban generals. Everyone knew Bergdahl was a traitor but Obama used Bergdahl’s exchange for the five Taliban generals to cover that Obama was being coerced by the Taliban about the unauthorized Stinger Missile deal.

So we have a traitor as POTUS that is not only corrupt, but compromised, as well and a Sec of State that is a serial liar, who perjured herself multiple times at the Congressional Hearings on Benghazi. Perhaps this is why no military aircraft were called upon for help in Benghazi: because the administration knew that our enemies had Stinger Missiles that, if used to down those planes, would likely be traced back to the CIA cache in Qatar and then to the State Dept’s illegitimate arms deal in Libya.
