[Daily Caller] Former ICE Director Tom Homan praised President Trump for his immigration policies, saying he was the best president for border security, in an interview with Fox News’ Harris Faulkner on Wednesday afternoon.
"I respect every president I ever worked for. No president has done more for border security and law enforcement than President Trump," Homan stated. "The first year he was in office, and we were out there enforcing law the way we’re supposed to because he allowed us to through his executive actions."
"The number of illegal border crossers dropped [from a] 40 to a 45-year low. A four-decade low. That’s not a coincidence. That’s because this president let ICE and the border patrol do their job," he continued.
Homan has worked at ICE during the last six presidential administrations.
He has been a big supporter of the Trump administration and their unwavering support of ICE even during the recent protests that have erupted around the country.

I remember a time American troops pursued Apache into Mexico. When the pressure got too hot for the Apache, they turned on the local Mexican population to loot and kill. Then, and only then, did Mexico City take measures to curb the problem.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] "We wouldn’t have gone alone, we needed him to be able to go further into the dream," this is exactly what a young man whom I met in a London hotel lobby told me.
I have seen the enthusiasm of Saudi youth after the kingdom’s Vision 2030 was announced ‐ an enthusiasm which was about to burn out before that. When I delivered a lecture in Columbia University in December 2017, this point was implicit in every question, why do the Arab youth, particularly those from Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... , love Prince Mohammed bin Salman?

It is the walk of a man whose dream will be stopped by nothing except death.
[Right Scoop] The globalist elites who own the stock market did not like the news that glorious populist leader Trump will hit China with $200 BILLION worth of tariffs!! Now they’re recoiling in horror that they won’t be able to buy all the golden toothpicks they were eyeballing!!!
I mean, to be fair, that graph is zoomed in a bunch ‐ it’s only 0.33% of a drop, which is a third of one percent. We definitely don’t want to see it go down, and who knows how bad a hit it’ll take tomorrow, but to be honest, 0.33% isn’t that much. So far.

So cheap labor, rent seeking globalists are upset at the idea President Trump is attempting to protect our jobs, domestic economy, and the common man ?

Populism is today seen both as a pejorative and positive noun. In fact, in the present age, there are two sorts of populism. Both strains originated in classical times and persisted in the West until today.
One in antiquity was known as the base populism. It involved the unfettered urban "mob," or what the Athenians disapprovingly dubbed the ochlos and the Romans disparagingly called the turba. Such popular movements were spearheaded by the so-called demagogoi ("leaders of the people") or in Roman times the more radical popular tribunes.
These were largely urban movements. Protesters focused on the redistribution of property, radical democratization, taxes on the wealthy, the cancellation of debts, vast increases in public entitlements, and civic employment. The French Revolution and European upheavals of 1848 reflect some of the same themes. Today, Occupy Wall Street, Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and the Bernie Sanders phenomenon all stand in the same current. Often, urban intellectuals, aristocrats, and elites‐from the patrician Roman Republican street agitator Publius Clodius Pulcher and the Jacobin Maximilien Robespierre, to present-day billionaires like George Soros and Tom Steyer‐have sought to assist the urban protesters. Perhaps these gentleman- agitators thought they could offer money, prestige, or greater wisdom, thereby channeling and elevating shared populist agendas.
The antithesis to such radical populism was likely thought by ancient conservative historians to be the "good" populism of the past‐and what the contemporary media might call the "bad" populism of the present: the push-back of small property owners and the middle classes against the power of oppressive government, steep taxation, and internationalism, coupled with unhappiness over imperialism and foreign wars and a preference for liberty rather than mandated equality. Think of the second century B.C. Gracchi brothers rather than Juvenal’s "bread-and-circuses" imperial Roman underclass, the American rather than the French Revolution, or the Tea Party versus Occupy Wall Street.

You hear the phrase "white privilege" nonstop in America these days, as the slogan has transcended the campus and entered popular culture.
...During the civil-rights movement of the 1960s, the nation’s racial tensions were mostly still defined as a binary of a dominant white majority and an often discriminated-against African-American minority.
Years of past prejudice had sparked the idea of affirmative action, or federal reparatory programs accorded to a historically discriminated-against black minority.
However, by the 1980s, owing to new cycles of massive immigration, other minorities likewise explained their own inequality in terms of white-majority oppressors. They lobbied to be included in government reparation programs in job hiring and college admissions.
...Sometimes even slight changes in self-identification have consequences. For the children of intermarried couples, it can be a career-changing decision to evolve from Robert Smith to Robert Garcia Smith (or even better Roberto Garcia Smith) to reflect one’s maternal Latino roots ‐ an effort especially appreciated by universities and employers.
...In some cases, the more desperate have invented minority pedigrees out of whole cloth, like the false but self-serving and opportunistic claim of Senator Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) that she was Native American (on the basis of "high cheekbones" or family mythology), or Professor Ward Churchill’s similar fake Native American get-up that got him hired as a minority at the University of Colorado.
...One of the strangest elements of the American obsession with superficial appearance is the habit of very well connected and affluent whites faulting poor whites for their "white privilege." It has become a sort of rite-of-passage virtue-signaling in which rich, white college students at tony universities damn white privilege and the supposedly racist, nativist, xenophobic, and sexist Trump Neanderthals. With this, they establish their spiritually pure fides or, more practically, earn a sort of insurance policy in case the all-seeing eye of the diversity tower turns its focus on them someday. And he doesn't even mention "war against men"
[Bayou Rennisance Man] The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!
Daniel Greenfield is a well-known commentator, blogger and author. In a speech to the South Carolina Tea Party Coalition Convention in Myrtle Beach last January, he outlined what he sees as the Second Civil War in the USA - and it's happening already. In the light of the fuss about the nomination of Justice Kavanaugh to the US Supreme Court, I thought it might be worthwhile to remind ourselves of the roots of the opposition to his appointment.

A man from South Carolina should know it is the Third Civil War. The American War of Independence feature a really nasty American on American war in the Carolinas.
