New Poll: The Rasmussen Poll, one of the most accurate in predicting the 2016 Election, has just announced that “Trump” numbers have recently gone up by four points, to 50%. Thank you to the vicious young Socialist Congresswomen. America will never buy your act! #MAGA2020

While relaxing with friends in America’s heartland—beautiful Kansas City, Mo.—I read the most recent ugly tweets from the president. I don’t care about his fear or rage. Vigorous political dialogue ceases to exist when hate speech becomes a communication norm, and it has. We cannot shy away from calling out twisted lies, racism, or misogyny embedded in it. For the sake of democracy—never mind common decency—I call on all Americans and our elected representatives to transcend political persuasion and condemn the president’s despicable tweets. If we decide to shrug it off, we reveal that we are complicit.

…..shouting of the F…word, among many other terrible things, and the petrified Dems run for the hills. Why isn’t the House voting to rebuke the filthy and hate laced things they have said? Because they are the Radical Left, and the Democrats are afraid to take them on. Sad!

President Trump’s determination to round up and deport millions of undocumented residents is wrong on many levels, but one in particular has received little attention: the cost. During fiscal 2016, the U.S. spent $3.2 billion to identify, arrest, detain and remove undocumented immigrants, according to the Department of Homeland Security, costing taxpayers an average of $10,854 per deportee.
That’s money that would have been much better spent by law enforcement agencies across the country to arrest, try and jail murderers, thieves, rapists, sex traffickers, child molesters and others whose crimes do far greater harm than illegal entry into the U.S. It’s no mystery that Trump is taking these actions for purely political reasons, prioritizing his chances of re-election ahead of the safety of the American people. If for no other reason, these roundups should end.

Note from KBJ: Why would deportation increase President Trump’s “chances of re-election” if it were not approved by the majority of the people? Do you think before you write, Allan?
