The Intolerable Terms of Other People: Trump's Strategic Blunder

Today was the big announcement we have all been waiting for from President Trump. It was everything I hoped it wouldn't be. My hope was that he declare a state of emergency, end the shutdown and just start building the wall. My fear was that he would allow a million illegal immigrants to stay in a show of good faith, propose a boatload of money for "high-tech" monitoring of our southern border (which means someone is going to get insanely rich from integrating a system no one is going to use) and probably a very small portion of the border wall that would not be concrete, or beautiful.

I regret to inform you that what I feared was what we got. Fox News reported:

"Trump announced that he was prepared to back a three-year extension of protections for 700,000 immigrants who came to the country illegally as children and were shielded from deportation under the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. This, in exchange for the $5.7 billion he has requested for a barrier on the southern border with Mexico.

"Walls are not immoral," he said, adding that a wall "will save many lives and stop drugs from pouring into our country."

"This is not a concrete structure from sea to sea," he said, addressing some previously expressed concerns about the so-called "wall." "These are steel barriers in high-priority locations."

The offered deal would also extend protections for 300,000 recipients of the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program -- which protects immigrants from designated countries with conditions that prevent nationals from returning safely."

Just in case you weren't counting that is 1,000,000 illegal aliens that get to stay.

As a conservative voter you know the $ell out occurs is real when Senator Lindsey Graham weighs in and states:

"Fantastic proposal Mr. President. Let's get it done"

The confirmation that the $ell out is real is when Senator Mitch McConnell invokes the term "compromise" by stating:

“Compromise in divided government means that everyone can’t get everything they want every time," McConnell said in a statement. "The President’s proposal reflects that. It strikes a fair compromise by incorporating priorities from both sides of the aisle."

This single quote is what inspired me to create and utilize the Jim Vance meme at the top of the page. While everyone is praising Trump and assuring me that the Democrats won't accept the proposed deal (and that Trump will come out smelling like a rose), the fact remains the President has committed a strategic error by deciding to fight this battle on the enemy's terms. Which means losing, which I find intolerable.

Fake News and False Information On Mississippi Scalawag Flag Proposal

WREG News Channel 3 (Memphis , Tennessee) is reporting : Photo credit: WREG News 3 "Laurin Stennis’ flag design has gained so much popularity that even those who order the flag want her autograph. She matched the colors exactly to the United States flag. “I think those are wonderful colors and the symbolism is meaningful, but also this is a strong standalone but when you pair it with the United States flag they make a handsome couple,” said Stennis. Nineteen stars circle around a large star, which represents Mississippi as the 20th state to join the Union in 1817. The large star is called Bonnie Blue. Stennis had some help producing the flags with Complete Flag Source. To date, well over 2,000 Stennis flags have been sold." According to the report Stennis' asks: "Is our logo doing it’s job? I would argue absolutely not because every time it comes up we fight about and we get tense.” Okay, where to start? WREG reports that the flag is...

The War That Wasn't: The Real Agenda Against All Things Confederate

The illustration on the left is an artist's concept of a Union soldier. I have to admit, I'm quite perplexed by it. Why? I shall tell you why. First he has a rifle. Second he has a uniform, a canteen a bedroll and a knapsack. In other words, this would-be soldier has all of the supplies and equipment that would ready him for a military campaign / battle. Why does this perplex me? It perplexes me because recent events have led me to the conclusion that the "War Between the States" never happened. Given the events of recent years it's natural to conclude it didn't happen. Fox news compiled a running list of Confederate monuments that have been removed thus far and while the majority of those were at the hands of Democrats, there are several Republicans behind the removal of them. Below is the list compiled by Fox News correspondent Christopher Carbone. christopher.carbone@foxnews.com Annapolis, Md. Under cover of da...

How We Got Here , What Can We Do?

For as long as I can remember both the Republican and Democratic parties have had their fair share of Lincoln defenders. The Republican Party was founded with the election of Abraham Lincoln thus Lincoln has been the party's trademark so to speak. The problem with this is that the Republican Party, presents itself as the party of smaller government, states rights and defenders of the Constitution and freedom. It is a problem because Lincoln was a proponent of big government, and committed acts that violated the Constitution. Ah, but defenders of Lincoln proclaim that President Lincoln had to violate the Constitution to "save the Union." This defense of Lincoln by the Republican party has been effective from the end of the War Between the States until November , 2020 At the time of America's "Civil War" one could describe the Republicans as the Liberals and the Democrats as the Conservatives. This began to change with the election of President Franklin D. R...
