Mr. Fitzgerald ran for Congress in California as a Democrat in 2010 and 2012, but did not receive the party’s endorsement in either case. He is running as a Republican in November but said he identifies more as an independent.

Omarosa, too crazy for even the Donald. "The presidential apprentice", blurred lines between reality TV and reality. Entertaining but getting a bit tedious. Just bomb Iran, throw out the illegals, and leave in two years.

Talking about a suicidal death cult! Just two messed up a marathon. Just one destroyed a gay bar. A couple dozen brought down an iconic landmark along with frying thousands of innocents. A good many like the travel ban and a stricter enforcement of immigration laws. Dems should stick to economics and social programs and support the great job being done by ICE and The Border Patrol if they want to win national elections.

Yes I have seen enough of Franky and Noah. If they can be jettisoned to give time and space to talented newbies another rebuild year would be palatable.

The two wrongs make a right argument? We have violent crazies in the US so why not bring in cultural crazies from around the globe?

The first metered taxi cab was introduced on this day...in 2007, in New York City.
Prior to this day the cabs were coloured red and green. After this day they were coloured yellow, for easier recognition.

1907, only missed by a century.

The real news from the last couple days is that Luee and Kid are now quoting The Atlantic.   One has to wonder if they get past the opening paragraph, though...


Quote
  By historical standards, this isn’t a “mass movement.” It’s the opposite. And illegal immigration is unlikely to return to the levels of the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s anytime soon for one simple, and under appreciated, reason: Mexican women are having fewer children. Since the early 2000s, the number of Mexicans being caught at the border has collapsed. Even a strengthening U.S. economy hasn’t lifted the numbers, because the young Mexican men who in past decades crossed the border today don’t exist in the same numbers. That’s because, since 1960, the Mexican birthrate has dropped from almost seven children per mother to just over two. Which means the pool of potential migrants is far smaller.
Migrants are still coming from violence-plagued Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador. The children Trump separated from their parents are overwhelmingly Central American. But Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador don’t have large populations. Combined, they contain about one-quarter as many people as Mexico. Frum and Sullivan both link America’s immigration crisis to Europe’s. But in scale, the problems are quite different. Europe is near large countries with high fertility rates. (The fertility rate is close to three in the Middle East and North Africa and near five in sub-Saharan Africa). The United States is not....   

The US is in a lot better and more secure situation because the immigration laws are being enforced. Which of the Latin American countries persecutes because of religious or political beliefs? In Muslim countries it is just a matter of which group is more violent and xenophobic. Love thy neighbor and separation of church and state is not part of their belief matrix.

No immigration crisis in the US? Immigration laws now in place have kept America relatively safe from the human tidal wave now sweeping European shores.

---There Is No Immigration Crisis
While it may benefit Democrats politically to take a harder line on immigration, that doesn’t mean it’s better policy—and political commentators should stop saying otherwise.---

One only has to look toward Europe where they refer to it as a migrant crisis. Millions and millions have come over bringing with them a little of the old sod in the form of violence, poverty, and a failed xenophobic medieval culture that does not allow assimilation.

If it is such a terrible country why are peoples of other countries swarming to enter? We are no longer an agrarian, mining society as in the 19th to mid 20th centuries. The US needs illegal immigrants like Puerto Rico needs more hurricanes.

---ISRAEL-SYRIA BORDER –  Syria’s official news agency says the government is deploying ground troops preparing to launch an attack against ISIS forces in Suwayda Province in the southeastern portion of the country.

According to local media reports, ISIS has been eradicated from most parts of southern Syria and is operating from a small sliver of territory. Earlier this week, the Syrian military launched air strikes targeting remaining ISIS forces.

Last month, ISIS in what appears to be an act of desperation, killed more than 200 civilians and abducted more than two dozen mostly women and children from Suwayda. The attack is considered the deadliest in the predominantly government held province. Most of the victims are Druze, a minority group of about 700,000.---

---Iran crowds reportedly chant 'death to the dictator!' as US sanctions increase economic unrest---


http://www.foxnews.com/world/2018/08/07/iran-crowds-reportedly-chant-death-to-dictator-as-us-sanctions-increase-economic-unrest.html

Now this is truly wonderful news. Like Reagan saying tear down that wall. Stop exporting terrorism and keeping your people locked up in a medieval shithole, Mr. Ayatollah.
Do you realize, Luee, that if the Iranian government were to somehow fall your chum, the always wonderful Assad, is finished too?

Too late for ISIS, so sad for the youths of Islam who left their homes to build a new caliphate, rape females of all species, and kill infidels in novel and horrible ways as written in the book?
