VOTING IS A FREE WILL PRIVILEDGE, OBLIGATION AND INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY

VOTING AT THE 5 YARD LINE: GET AN ABSENTEE OR GET YOUR ASS THERE ON THE DAY!

Here’s A Text A Voter Received In Georgia Asking For Provisional Ballots ... THERE SHOULD BE NO! ABSOLUTELY NO! VOTING AFTER THE DAY! IF FACT THERE SHOULD BE NO EARLY VOTING ONLY ABSENTEE BALLOTS AND VOTING ON THE DAY (PERIOD)!!!

THIS WOMAN -- STACEY ABRAMS -- IS THE FACE OF VOTER FRAUD

The situation in Georgia is still not settled, with Democrats in desperation mode trying to get more provisional votes over the goal line on Saturday, the final day Democrats claim that provisional ballots are being accepted in some locations.
The Stacey Abrams campaign has set up an entire phone-banking and email operation to Find votes, as we discuss below.

Here is a text message received from a Jonesboro, Georgia number. The phone number of the sender has been removed.

Does this seem like a get-out-the-vote operation, or a vote-finding operation?

Trending: President Trump: ‘The Ninth Circuit — We’re Going To Have To Look At That’
 


As reported earlier:

The blatant push by Democrats to extend voting after Election Day in certain counties is in full swing, with the liberal mainstream media taking the side of the Democrat cause and the American people scrambling to preserve our Republic in the face of radical left-wing attacks on our election integrity.

The Stacey Abrams campaign is actively phone-banking to find provisional ballots, and voters are also receiving text messages asking them if they filed provisional ballots.


Big League Politics has obtained one of the text messages to voters: “URGENT: GA gov vote is TOO close to call. Today is the last day provisional ballots can still be counted. Did you submit a PROVISIONAL ballot at polls on Tues?”

Here is an email that her campaign is sending out:

“Today is our LAST DAY to find and count every single provisional ballot.

So if you cast a provisional ballot on Tuesday, we need you to call our Voter Protection Hotline at 1-888-730-5816 immediately. Our team can tell you if your ballot was counted, and if it was not, we can help you with next steps.

And please, help us spread the word to every Georgian you know. Forward this email to your friends, post on Facebook, call your relatives. Everyone needs to know this information.

We’re going to make sure every vote is counted.

Thanks for your help,

– Team Abrams”

BIRDS OF THE FEATHER ... DON'T FALL FAR FROM THE NEST ... HIDEN' BIDEN DON'T THINK ABOUT IT

Armed With Assault Rifles, Black Panthers March For Stacey Abrams
12:16 PM 11/04/2018 | Politics

I RECALL SOMETHING ABOUT A KNIFE FIGHT AND WE BRING ...
Members of the Black Panther Party marched through the city of Atlanta, strapped with assault rifles and brandishing Stacey Abrams campaign signs.


In a video posted on the group’s Facebook page on Saturday, members of the Black Panther Party are seen marching through the West End neighborhood of Atlanta in support of Stacey Abrams gubernatorial campaign. As they marched, the Black Panthers carried assault rifles and continually shouted slogans such as “black power” and “power to the people.”

Abrams, a former Democratic state representative, is running in a tight election against Republican Brian Kemp, Georgia’s current Secretary of State. The Real Clear Politics average of recent polls shows Kemp up by 1.1 percentage points, well within the margin of error.

The video shows the panthers marching for nearly 30 minutes through the city of Atlanta until they enter a local radio station.

When reached for comment by The Daily Caller News Foundation, the Abrams campaign forwarded a statement from spokeswoman Abigail Collazo. Her statement did not specifically address the Panthers’ march, but instead attacked Kemp.

“Brian Kemp is the only candidate in this race who has posed for pictures with supporters wearing racist, hate-filled t-shirts and refused to denounce them, while Abrams continues to condemn any racist, anti-Semitic, or otherwise discriminatory words and actions,” Collazo said.

“Unlike Kemp, Abrams is a leader committed to running an inclusive campaign focused on bringing all Georgians together to find bold solutions on critical issues like health care, education, and the economy,” she continued.

At one point during the march, someone driving a vehicle stopped momentarily to speak to the Panthers.

One of the members can be heard saying afterward: “You need to march in your neighborhood. When we was [sic] in West Virginia, 99 percent crackers, stone cold crackers.”

Kemp’s campaign called on Abrams to immediately denounce the Black Panthers.
“It’s no surprise that militant Black Panthers are armed and patrolling the streets of Georgia for Stacey Abrams. The Black Panthers are a radical hate group with a racist and anti-semitic agenda. They are dangerous and encourage violence against our men and women in uniform,” Kemp spokesman Ryan Mahoney said in a statement to TheDCNF.
“Stacey Abrams should immediately denounce the Black Panthers and their hateful record of racism,” he continued. “She should stand against and condemn their attempts to intimidate hardworking Georgia voters just days before the election.”

The close race has brought star power from both sides of the aisle. Vice President Mike Pence campaigned for Kemp on Thursday — the same day Oprah Winfrey knocked on doors on behalf of Abrams.

The Panthers did not respond to a request for comment by TheDCNF.

12 CARAVANERS WATCHED THIS ON THEIR SMARTPHONE AND DISLIKED THIS!

No welfare, no housing, no food stamps, no health care, no schooling, no jobs ... And will they still come? Perhaps moving the UN to the EU will fix part of the problem along with the United States leaving the UN a failed enterprise!!!
UN agency assists Central American caravan migrants, voices concern for receiving countries

In the Siglo XXI Migratory Station of Tapachula, Mexico, IOM and the Mexican Secretary of Foreign Affairs are supplying food and basic hygiene kits to over 1,500 migrants seeking asylum in the country.

IOM said on Friday that after walking some 850 kilometres from Honduras, exhaustion and the challenges ahead have caused many to opt for voluntary return, offered by Mexican authorities and Honduran consular officials.

“IOM maintains its position that the human rights and basic needs of all migrants must be respected, regardless of their migratory status,” said Christopher Gascon, UN Migration’s Chief of Mission in Mexico.


All migrants must be respected, regardless of their migratory status – IOM Chief of Mission in Mexico

In coordination with UN refugee agency UNHCR, he said "we will continue to monitor the situation of the caravan counting on field staff, the Mexican Office of Assistance for Migrants and Refugees, and partner NGOs, providing information regarding alternatives for regular and safe migration, as well as options for voluntary returns,” he added.

Counting on its Mesoamerica Program – funded by the US State Department’s Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration – IOM is now also able to provide voluntary return assistance to migrants.

“The caravan phenomenon in Central America is another expression of a migration process that the region has been facing for quite some time,” Marcelo Pisani, IOM Regional Director for Central America, North America and the Caribbean explained, saying the “mixed migration flow” was driven by economic factors, family reunification, violence and the search for international protection.

“Nevertheless,” he added, “we are concerned about the stress and demands that caravans place on the humanitarian community and the asylum systems of receiving countries, which ultimately have limited resources to face this challenge or to properly care for and protect migrants.”

According to local authorities, on Monday the Mexican government admitted a second caravan of approximately 1,800 Central Americans who initially started the regularization process, but later opted to continue the trek north without seeking asylum; a third caravan of around 500 Salvadorians crossed in on Tuesday, where most requested asylum; and a fourth group of some 1,700 individuals spent Thursday night in the Guatemalan town of Tecún Umán, on the border with Mexico.

“The effective protection of human rights for all is based on the respect of processes conveyed in international treaties and national laws, which must be the frame of reference for any action that may be implemented in this situation,” Mr. Pisani concluded.

DEMOCRATIC POSITION ON IMMIGRATION ... DUH!



THIS COULD BE A REAL CAN OF WORMS ... JUST NEED THE HOOK

ANOTHER PIN IN THE VOODOO DOLL ...

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 85, breaks ribs in fall 
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg fell in her office and fractured three ribs. The 85-year-old liberal justice was admitted to a hospital Thursday.

Ginsburg’s health has been a matter of intense speculation in recent years. The court’s oldest member, Ginsburg has survived multiple bouts with cancer, and in 2014 underwent a procedure to have a stent placed in her right coronary artery.

The fall happened Wednesday evening.

“She went home, but after experiencing discomfort overnight, went to George Washington University Hospital early this morning,” the court said in a statement Thursday. “Tests showed that she fractured three ribs on her left side and she was admitted for observation and treatment.”

It is not the first time that Ginsburg has fractured her ribs while on the court. In June 2012, Ginsburg fractured two ribs in a fall and did not disclose the injury to the public until months later. The court said at the time that despite the fracture, Ginsburg “did not skip a beat.”

The Brooklyn-native, one of four liberal justices on the nine-member court, has said she plans to serve on the bench until she is 90, and has hired law clerks through 2020.

Her approach to the law has been described as cautious, though she has been influential in shaping jurisprudence in cases involving gender discrimination, women’s reproductive health and international law.
She was the principal author of a landmark brief that led Supreme Court in 1971 to apply the the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment to women.

Ginsburg, the second of four women to serve on the high court, was appointed by President Bill Clinton in 1993. Before joining the court, she worked as the director of the ACLU’s Women’s Rights Project.

News of Ginsburg’s fall comes on the same morning as the formal investiture of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, President Donald Trump’s second nominee to the high court.

The court said that more information would be provided as it became available.

MAD MAGAZINE "I SPY" ... REMEMBER THEM?

THE COST OF THE WALL IS A THIRD OF AND ANNUAL COST OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ...

Each Illegal Immigrant Costs $70K, According To Center For Immigration Studies Report
OAN Newsroom
UPDATED 11:04 AM PT — Wed. Oct. 31, 2018


According to the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), the cost of illegal immigration is rising as the border surge reaches its highest level since 2011.

In a report published Wednesday, the organization said the cost to taxpayers is around $70,000 per illegal immigrant, which is about seven times more than the cost of deportation.
The CIS also reported the taxes paid by illegal immigrants are not enough to offset the cost of the services they consume, in turn, leaving a net cost of $70 billion dollars per year.

The organization also said immigration as a whole in 2016 was equal to the highest numbers on record, with over 1.7 million people coming to the U.S. through legal and illegal means.

This report comes as President Trump continues to double-down on his stance on immigration amid the influx of non-citizens charging toward the border in a so-called migrant caravan.

In a series of tweets Wednesday, the president told the thousands of Central American migrants making their way to the southern border to go home.

He pointed out that many in the caravan are violently assaulting Mexican authorities as they attempt, with many succeeding, to cross into Mexico from Guatemala.

President Trump called the U.S. border “sacred” and assured members of the caravan will not be let into the country.

Our military is being mobilized at the Southern Border. Many more troops coming. We will NOT let these Caravans, which are also made up of some very bad thugs and gang members, into the U.S. Our Border is sacred, must come in legally. TURN AROUND!

MAD MAX THREATENS TO GET EVEN ... AND THAT'S NOT ALL




Schiff: House Intel will ramp up probe of Trump's Russia ties if Dems take the House

Schiff: We'll get answers Republicans didn't
Washington (CNN) — If Democrats take back the House, the Intelligence Committee will investigate questions involving Russian money laundering and President Donald Trump's businesses, Rep. Adam Schiff of California said on Tuesday.

Schiff, the top Democrat on the intelligence panel, told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on "The Situation Room" that Russian money laundering is one area he wants to probe tied to Russia's 2016 election interference. Schiff said it's one issue where he didn't know whether special counsel Robert Mueller had been given authority to look into the matter.

"The question, though, that I don't know whether Mueller has been able to answer -- because I don't know whether he's been given the license to look into it -- is were the Russians laundering money through the Trump Organization?" he said.

"And that will be a very high priority to get an answer to. For the reason that if they were doing this, it's not only a crime, but it's something provable," Schiff continued, noting something of that nature is an issue the Russians "could hold over the head" of the President and "that might be influencing US policy in a way that is against our national interest."

Schiff's comments are another sign of the different ways House Democrats intend to investigate Trump if they are in the majority next year.

Schiff said that although "Republicans walked away from the investigation, the Democratic minority has continued" its probe.

"And that work won't stop when we take the majority," Schiff told Blitzer, just two weeks ahead of the midterm elections.

"But we will be able to get answers the Republicans were unwilling to pursue. Records that the Republicans wouldn't ask for," he said.

Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee ended their Russia investigation in March, concluding they had found no evidence of collusion between Trump's team and Russia.

But Democrats accused Republicans of failing to conduct a thorough investigation, and Schiff has signaled he would reopen the probe if Democrats controlled the committee. Democrats on the committee have continued to interview a handful of witnesses without Republicans over the past six months.

Schiff on Tuesday specifically pointed to calls involving Trump's son to set up the infamous Trump Tower meeting with Russians that took place during the 2016 campaign.

"We know that there were calls back and forth between the President's son in the setup of the Trump Tower meeting, and sandwiched between these calls was a call from a blocked number. And we know the President used a blocked number so we asked for a subpoena of the phone records. But the Republicans said, 'No, we don't want to know if the President was in the loop and approved that meeting in Trump Tower,' " Schiff said, adding that Democrats would handle things "very differently."

Previously, in response to the end of the investigation, Schiff issued a "status report" that detailed documents he would request, witnesses he would call and subpoenas he would issue if Democrats had control of the probe. That included an examination of Russian money laundering tied to former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his onetime deputy Rick Gates, who both have pleaded guilty as part of Mueller's investigation.

"The Committee's investigation must seek to determine whether Mr. Manafort and Mr. Gates's money-laundering activities, tied to pro-Russian interests, constituted a point of leverage that Russia sought to benefit from or exploit to gain access to the Trump campaign, particularly given that Mr. Manafort reportedly offered private briefings about the Trump campaign to these contacts," the House Intelligence Committee's Democrats wrote.

In their report, House Intelligence Republicans argued those crimes had occurred before Manafort and Gates joined the Trump campaign.

"All of the financial crimes took place prior to Manafort serving as Trump campaign manager, and nothing in the indictment relates to any potential collusion, conspiracy, or conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Russian government," the Republicans wrote of Manafort and Gates' charges.

RIVETING, FEARLESS, GRIPPING AND VERY STUPID!

Clinton Crony Corruption: More Questionable Behavior Revealed In Hillary Clinton’s “Deleted” Emails
By Elizabeth Vaughn - on October 24, 2018


Clinton Corruption <--- i="">BUT I DIGRESS
...

Hillary Clinton is good to her friends. But what’s $47 million to her when it doesn’t come out of her own pocket?

It’s been so long that we almost forgot about the 32,000 emails that Hillary claimed were personal back in 2015. You remember, the ones about yoga and Chelsea’s wedding. They were irrelevant, she told us, so she ordered them to be deleted and then destroyed. Unfortunately for Hill, the FBI was able to retrieve a portion of them.

The Daily Caller’s Chuck Ross reported on a series of emails that were released on August 28th in response to a FOIA request. Among them are emails between Hillary and longtime friend and former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, who had been heavily lobbying her to drum up business for Symbion Power, located in Africa. He had recently become the company’s Director. (Wilson had been the ambassador to Gabon and São Tomé and Príncipe.)

Hillary Clinton’s emails as secretary of state have revealed that her longtime friend, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, lobbied her heavily on behalf of Symbion Power.
Soon after Wilson began contacting Clinton about Symbion, a foreign aid agency chaired by Clinton awarded the company $47 million in contracts to build a power plant in Tanzania.
A newly released email shows Clinton told Wilson she visited the power plant at his urging.

While serving as secretary of state in 2011, Hillary Clinton visited a power company in Africa at the urging of former Ambassador Joe Wilson, a longtime Clinton friend who happened to serve as a director at the company Symbion Power.

A year after Wilson’s lobbying efforts began, “a foreign aid agency chaired by Clinton, awarded the company a $47 million contract to build a power plant in Tanzania.”

Both the foreign aid agency, Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) and Symbion “have downplayed Wilson’s influence on Clinton, however, an email recently released by the Department of State shows Clinton heard of the company through Wilson.”

Following a diplomatic visit to the company’s energy plant in Dar es Salaam in 2011, Clinton sent the following email to Wilson on June 12, 2011:


You did not oversell Symbion. I was very impressed by the project and the people who are part of the team. Thx for bringing the company to my attention and then pushing for me to make the stop.

Unsurprisingly, Sidney Blumenthal, who was a mutual friend of both Clinton and Wilson initiated the communications. In an email routed through Blumenthal, Wilson wrote, “We will be bidding on all of the upcoming MCC financed power generation and distribution projects.”

Clinton appeared interested in the topic, writing to aides: “Pls be sure I see Joe.”


Wilson’s emailed Clinton on November 10, 2009. “As I wrote to you earlier, I am a director for Symbion Power and may soon assume more direct responsibility for all of Africa as Symbion expands there from its current operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.”

(Wilson noted that Blumenthal had previously given Clinton information detailing Symbion’s “success in the most difficult and dangerous environments.”)

We now want to bring that business model and philosophy to Africa where the social entrepreneurship and the development of skilled labor is imperative for Africa’s long term economic prospects, as you have so forcefully articulated in past comments.

The Daily Caller’s Chuck Ross reports:

Clinton also forwarded one inquiry from Wilson to Jacob Lew, who served at the time as deputy secretary of state for management and resources. In the Dec. 22, 2009 email, Wilson pressed Clinton and Lew on the process to obtain U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) contracts in Afghanistan.

Clinton and Wilson also met at the State Department in December 2009, according to Clinton’s calendars.

It is unclear whether Wilson’s relentless lobbying helped Symbion, but he has argued in a lawsuit he filed against Symbion in 2015 that his work for the company helped it secure federal contracts.

In an Oct. 15, 2015 court filing, Wilson claimed he “was directly and deeply involved on behalf of Symbion in pursuing and developing the business opportunities for Symbion, including the Millennium Challenge Fund.”

Symbion disputed Wilson’s claims, saying his contacts with Clinton did not contribute to the firm winning the $50 million MCC contract. Instead, Symbion called the revelation of Wilson’s emails “embarrassing.” MCC has also denied that Clinton helped Symbion win the Tanzania contract.

But other emails show Clinton could likely be taking direct action to help Symbion at Wilson’s request.

In one series of emails from July 2011, Wilson asked Clinton to intervene in a business dispute between Symbion and Jeffrey Immelt, who then served as CEO of General Electric.

“I know that you mentioned that you were going to call Jeff lmmelt after your trip,” Wilson wrote in a July 20, 2011 email.

“When you make that call, I would appreciate your telling him that Symbion, which is already operating a GE plant in [Tanzania’s capital, Dar es Salaam] can only expand that plant to meet the challenge if GE is prepared to share some of the inherent risk with us and waives the payment guarantee requirement.”

It is unclear whether Clinton spoke to Immelt about Symbion, but emails show that she did forward Wilson’s request to Johnnie Carson, the then-Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs. Carson then contacted Alfonso Lenhardt, the U.S.’s ambassador to Tanzania, who then reached out to GE.

There’s nothing illegal about these actions. This type of backscratching goes on every day in Washington and it pales in comparison to Hillary’s many criminal offenses. But it demonstrates the way Hillary conducted her affairs at both the State Department and the Clinton Foundation. And if I represented one of the rival bidders for this project, I would be extremely disturbed.

Hillary would argue that she was correct to delete these emails because they were personal business.

This story makes us wonder what other items of interest might be found in the emails that her minions were instructed to destroy. These emails are being released in tranches, the last one occurring on October 4th. We’ll stay tuned.

One thing is certain. Hillary Clinton makes it rain for her friends.


IF A PRIVATE OR PUBLIC COMPANY GETS GOVERNMENT SUBSIDY MUST THEY ABIDE BY THE U.S. CONSTITUTION




ACTIVE DENIAL SYSTEM ... CROWD CONTROL

Mattis: Military already moving equipment to southern border

The U.S. military has already begun delivering jersey barriers to the southern border in conjunction with plans to deploy active duty troops there, U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said Sunday as a caravan of Central Americans slowly heads across Mexico toward the United States.

Mattis told reporters traveling with him that details of the deployment are still being worked out but he should have them Sunday night. They will include exactly how many forces are needed. It was unclear when the details will be made public.

The additional troops will provide logistical and other support to the Border Patrol, and will bolster the efforts of the approximately 2,000 National Guard forces already there. The new forces are expected to provide logistical assistance such as air support and equipment, including vehicles and tents.

National Guard troops routinely perform those same functions, so it is not clear why active duty forces are being used.

President Donald Trump for the past week has been calling attention to the caravan heading by foot into southern Mexico, but it is still hundreds of miles from U.S. soil.

The National Guard is often used by states to help with border security. But active duty troops are rarely deployed within the United States except for domestic emergencies like hurricanes or floods.

RULES OF THE ROAD ... WE DON'T NEED NO STINK'N RULES


THE CARAVAN OF Mysteries and losers! 
Where do they crap?

The Hondurans in the caravan, the 7,000 people walking north to America, where do they go to the bathroom?

And eat and sleep and store their clothes?

And how is it that after a week on the road they are clean and their hair and clothes are well kept?

How is any of this possible?

And why do these people, supposedly fleeing intolerable conditions in their homeland, carry little flags from their homeland and break into its national anthem when the TV cameras show up?

And speaking of which, for oppressed people, they all seem to be pretty well fed, well groomed and well dressed. Their hair is neat and newly cut, their clothes are clean and in good repair, and they are built like people who have had ample nutrition all their lives, being well developed and, many of them, overweight.

And none of them look dirty or unkempt, like they had been sleeping on the ground for the last week.

There’s just nothing in any of this that makes sense.

Supposedly, these several thousand people spontaneously decided to leave Honduras, walking north in a group, hoping to trek the length of gang-plagued Mexico and present themselves as refugees and prospective Democrats at the American border.

Which, again, makes no sense whatsoever.

And leaves a lot of big questions unanswered, and ignored by the press. 
  • Such as, who organized this? 
  • Who is paying for it? 
  • How have they covered 500 miles in a week?
Seriously. Any number of American “reporters” have walked beside a sympathetic walker and talked about how this particular woman and her children had trekked half a thousand miles over the last week or so.

That’s 71 miles a day!

The best soldiers through history have been able to march 25 miles a day.
 
HOLY SHIT!
3 TONS OF FECES EACH DAY ... WHERE? 
  • How have 7,000 people been fed and watered? 
  • And how have they gone to the bathroom? 
  • Where is the toliet paper sourced and stored?
  • If the average person across the world produces about a pound of solid waste a day, that means that these folks are somehow disposing of more than three tons of feces each day.
That’s a heck of a lot of crap, even for a Central American roadway.

Provisioning such an army of people – the equivalent of 10 combat battalions in most of the world’s militaries – is a large task. Transporting and distributing the food and water necessary to keep those people moving is a massive chore which the press says nothing about.
HOLLYWOOD SQUARES

The entire enterprise, as a spontaneous ad hoc event, is implausible.

As an orchestrated international attempt to influence an American election, it starts to make sense.

And ought to alarm us.

Unless it’s only Russians we don’t want screwing with our democracy.

THE U.S. YELLOW NEWS IS COMPLICIT!
Unfortunately, none of this has made the evening news. It’s almost as if the press, in whatever scheme is afoot, gladly accepts its role as propagandists to the American people.
 

THE REAL SYMPATHETIC STORY HAS YET TO BE TOLD ... WHO'S GOING TO PAY FOR THESE PEOPLE TO GET BACK HOME!?
Every story is sympathetic, as if an attempt to enlist viewers and readers in this caravan and the politics it symbolizes.

And so the story is not about an orchestrated attempt to manipulate electoral opinion and violate the borders and laws of the United States, it is about compassion and Trump and xenophobia and racism. It is the October surprise, it is the Blue Wave.

And it is all nonsense.
Because all of these people, if legitimate, have the ability to apply for American asylum in their own country – as do the residents of most nations of the world. We have consulates and embassies for a reason, and this is one of those reasons.

We also have laws and an oath of office for a reason.

Laws, so that “we the people” through our elected representatives clearly and systematically govern our society. Law is the means by which the people express and exercise their sovereignty. Disobedience to law is disobedience to the will of the people, it is the subverting of their sovereignty and franchise.

Breaking the law is denying you the vote. Your vote elects representatives – lets you pick the country’s direction – and the representatives write the law. If that law is ignored, your representation becomes meaningless.

You get screwed.

And the oath of office?

Members of Congress – even Democrats – swear an oath to “bear true faith and allegiance” to the Constitution, which establishes our system of laws and specifically charges the Congress with making the rules of naturalization and immigration.

Who comes across the border and under what conditions they can stay is a constitutional responsibility of the Congress. That is to be determined by a congressional vote, not by a Honduran mob.

Failure to insist on that – even for Democrats – is a violation of your congressman’s oath of office.

So there is not a Democrat or Republican response to this travelling army of invaders – there is only an American response.
DOES ANYONE HAVE AAA AUTOMOBILE ROAD SIDE SERVICE?
And that is: Turn around and go home.

Because the law of the United States does not allow a mass entry like this. The law does not declare the borders open.

If Democrats and progressives don’t like that, they can try to change the law. If America’s progressives want open borders and believe all the world’s people have a right to live in the United States – as they say they do – then they should adjust immigration law accordingly.

But until then, if they are to keep their oaths of office, they must stand for the law and the border.


And they must tell their surrogates to turn around and go home.

Because this caravan is nothing more than a bunch of political crap. And that's a lot of crap!!!

TWO FUTURES DIVERGED IN TIME ... AND CHINA IS TRAPPED IN HER PASTED DECISIONS


TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood, 
And sorry I could not travel both 
And be one traveler, long I stood 
And looked down one as far as I could 
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair, 
And having perhaps the better claim, 
Because it was grassy and wanted wear; 
Though as for that the passing there 
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay 
In leaves no step had trodden black. 
Oh, I kept the first for another day! 
Yet knowing how way leads on to way, 
I doubted if I should ever come back. 

I shall be telling this with a sigh 
Somewhere ages and ages hence: 
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— 
I took the one less traveled by, 
And that has made all the difference.




THIS LITTLE PIGGY WENT TO MARKET ... AND THIS LITTLE PIGGY ... WELL LET'S SAY HAS A BIGGER TRUMP CARD






How Africa Has Become a Second Front in the US–China Struggle

On September 3, Chinese President Xi Jinping declared at the opening ceremony of the Forum on China–Africa Cooperation Beijing Summit in 2018 that China is willing to provide to African countries $60 billion through various channels including government assistance, financial institutions, and corporate investment. Some of the countries in this list are among Africa’s least developed, or the most heavily in debt, and now Beijing has exempted them from making loan payments that were originally due at the end of this year.

Xi’s statements sparked negative responses in Chinese online circles, with many people accusing the leader of “want only showering coins.”

Behind this overly generous largess, however, lies Beijing’s calculus for a shift in its international economic strategy.

China Cannot Face the US Head-on

A careful examination of the specifications and time points of Xi Jinping’s proposed $60 billion investment suggest a twofold purpose. 

  1. One is to seize opportunity during a period of adjustment in the American economic strategy. 
  2. The second is that the trade war has put China in a very difficult position. Rather than conceding to U.S. demands, the Chinese regime opened a second front in Africa.
Let us first examine why the investment or aid package is valued at $60 billion. On Aug. 31, the Wall Street Journal published an article titled “To Counter China, U.S. Looks to Invest Billions More Overseas,” which the U.S. government’s decision to merge several little-known government agencies into a new agency—the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (USIDFC), which is authorized to make $60 billion in investments. Its parent body, the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), was established in 1971 by President Nixon to help U.S. companies invest in the development of emerging economies with a mind to realize Washington’s foreign policy goals.

Following its establishment, the USIDFC took charge of several projects managed by the U.S. Agency for International Development, among which the largest is the Development Credit Authority. Having these rights helps U.S. companies compete evenly with China in terms of financing options for major infrastructure and development projects in third-party countries.

The contest between China and the United States in terms of power construction in Africa began as early as during the Obama era. In the final year of Obama’s term, Washington launched the “Electrify Africa Act of 2016.” Additionally, the African Growth and Opportunity Act, first introduced in 2000, was vastly altered to comply with World Trade Organization regulations, its period of effect was extended until September 2025. These bills became the two pillars of the United States’ new Africa strategy.

Not to be outdone, in 2017 China announced that it would, at “Chinese speed,” build Africa’s largest hydroelectric power plant, the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam.

After Trump took office, he originally planned to make major adjustments to his Africa policy. Citing the dilapidation of U.S. infrastructure, he argued against large non-military aid commitments for other countries. Believing U.S. infrastructure to be dilapidated, he found large amounts of non-military aid unnecessary. He even proposed that the “food for peace” project that mainly targets Africa be removed from this year’s budget entirely. Later, amidst the Sino–American trade war and as his understanding of China gradually deepened, Trump came to realize that Africa was the lynchpin of the “Belt and Road” initiative. He thus supported the bill proposed by the House of Representatives to merge several functionally similar institutions into the USIDFC and expand its funding ceiling to give the institution the right to provide up to $60 billion in development financing. This bill has successfully passed in the House of Representatives and now only needs to pass the Senate vote. Nowadays, the attitude on China in the U.S. legislature is relatively united, so the bill should go through without much resistance.

China’s $60 billion Africa investment is in direct response to the $60 billion figure floated by the USIDFC, and Beijing apparently sees no need to hide this point. Shortly after Xi announced the investment, China’s overseas state mouthpieces began heavily reporting on how due to the rising global influence of China’s “Belt and Road” project, the United States would soon finalize a law to merge several financial institutions.

Why Africa?

The Sino-US trade war is currently progressing at moderate intensity. Nov. 6 is the day of the U.S. midterm election. As Trump continues to deal with resistance from the Democratic Party and the mainstream media, the Chinese regime is banking its hopes on the Republican Party losing control of Congress, thus giving power to Democrats who might loosen up on trade.

At a Beijing seminar on Aug. 28, Wei Jianguo, former vice minister of commerce of China and current vice president of the China Center for International Economic Exchange, explained the Chinese regime’s intentions: in the next five years, China plans to increase the value of its exports to Africa to $500 billion annually, and thus use Africa to replace the United States as China’s largest export market. In this way, even if the United States puts tariffs on all $500 billion of goods that China exports to it, China would gain the final victory as its own imports of U.S. goods are worth only $150 billion. Wei did, however, concede that Chinese exports to Africa are not wholly comparable to that of exporting to the United States.

In addition to the export substitution role, Beijing also bears in mind the fact that China and Africa have cooperated on economics and trade for many years, whether through loans or trade, and many African countries have already deposited the yuan into their own financial systems. With the yuan weakening against the dollar, and facing a difficult situation where total foreign exchange reserves are being maintained at 3 trillion yuan, promoting the internationalization of the renminbi can help alleviate pressure. More than 60 countries and regions—including 14 in Africa—have included the yuan in their foreign exchange reserves since its 2016 recognition by the International Monetary Fund as one of the five major reserve currencies. Some countries, such as Nigeria, are also willing to use the yuan as a settlement currency.

Can China Win in Africa?

Owing to its prestige and momentum, I believe that China would prevail over the United States in Africa. In China’s African investments, the government is the financial backer, so the investments are being made regardless of their profitability. The absence of a dividing line between aid and investment is not only a unique characteristic, but also a strength. Included in Xi Jinping’s $60 billion commitment is $15 billion in grants, zero-interest loans and concessional loans; $20 billion in credit lines; $10 billion in a special fund for China-Africa development financing; and a $5 billion special fund for financing Chinese imports from Africa. The Chinese regime has long practiced this sort of non-distinction between aid and investment. For example, in 2013, a Chinese representative said at the African Investment Summit that before 2025, China will provide Africa a total of $1 trillion dollars’ worth of loans, including direct investment, soft loans, various types of business loans, aid, and the like.

The United States cannot do things this way, as it defines aid and investment very clearly. Efforts to market aid as investment will inevitably hit resistance, so it is impossible for the U.S. government to act as overtly as the Chinese.
That being said, it remains to be seen if China’s investments will have the desired effect.

The mainstay of China’s foreign investment is the state-owned enterprise, and over the years, overseas investments by SOEs have mostly been squandered. In 2016, China’s state-run media Yangguang.com openly acknowledged the failure rate of China’s overseas mining investments as exceeding 95 percent.

During the same year, I said in the article “Why Are China’s Overseas Investments so Trouble-Ridden?” that the main countries included in the “Belt and Road” initiative are in Southeast Asia, South Asia, West Asia, North Africa, and Europe. Excluding Europe, most of these countries have poor international reputations due to their fairly high political risk. From the credit ratings provided by international rating agencies such as Standard & Poor’s and Fitch, most of these countries have credit ratings below B. Iran did not even have a rating.

Reality has also shown that China’s Belt and Road is vulnerable to major setbacks. Prime Minister Mahathir of Malaysia visited Beijing in August to seek China’s understanding: because Malaysia’s national debt had soared to $250 billion, it had no choice but to suspend three major infrastructure projects. About 70 countries are currently participating in China’s One Belt One Road plan, many of which owe large debts. The Washington-based think tank “Center for Global Development” estimated in March this year that the Belt and Road Initiative has mired eight countries in severe debt.

Compared with Chinese state-owned enterprises, the US Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), which will become the main body of the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation, has had a good profit record for the past 40 years. Thus, the United States’s restructuring of the corporation to undertake projects from the U.S. Agency for International Development is also taking into consideration the corporation’s profitability.

Whether for Western countries or China, it is not difficult to reach an agreement when investing in third-world economies. The problem lies in reclaiming those investments and ensuring profitability. China has no means of punishing countries that fail to repay their debts. Meanwhile, most Western companies have investments in developing countries, but those countries do not dare casually owe debts to Western companies because the local political and socioeconomic elites often store their money in Western banks, and their children study in Western schools. The United States, United Kingdom, and the European Union have many options for punishing countries that do not hold up their end of the deal. But China is not a place for the children of a country’s rulers to study, nor is China’s financial system able to become a safe deposit box for dictators as it is in Western countries. China has no leverage against countries that fail to honor economic agreements.

From Beijing’s perspective, as the China–U.S. trade war proves difficult to resolve, increasing investment and exports to Africa can be seen as an attempt to reposition the Chinese economy’s strategic position globally. But whether it can achieve its intended purpose is another matter.
