THE SWAMP DRAINING HAS BEGUN.

While Rex Tillerson is on his first overseas trip as Secretary of State, his aides laid off staff at the State Department on Thursday. 
Much of seventh-floor staff, who work for the Deputy Secretary of State for Management and Resources and the Counselor offices, were told today that their services were no longer needed. 

These staffers in particular are often the conduit between the secretary’s office to the country bureaus, where the regional expertise is centered. Inside the State Department, some officials fear that this is a politically-minded purge that cuts out much-needed expertise from the policy-making, rather than simply reorganizing the bureaucracy.

There are clear signals being sent that many key foreign policy portfolios will be controlled directly by the White House, rather than through the professional diplomats.

THIS IS A GREAT IDEA.

Break up the 9^th Circuit Court.
Republican Senators Jeff Flake and John McCain of Arizona introduced legislation last month to carve six states out of the San Francisco-based court circuit and create a brand new 12th Circuit.

They argue that the 9^th is too big, too liberal and too slow resolving cases. If they succeed, only California, Oregon, Hawaii and two island districts would remain in the 9th's judicial fiefdom.

We have been talking about Immigration Reform FOREVER.

Does Anyone Remember The Immigration Act of 1990, or the U.S. Commission on Immigration Reform?
The U.S. Commission on Immigration Reform was mandated by the Immigration Act of 1990 in order to examine and evaluate U.S. immigration policy, and to provide recommendations for its improvement. The Commission’s initial recommendations were released in 1995, and were endorsed by President Clinton. The final report was presented to Congress in 1997. 

President Clinton said the proposals “reflect a balanced immigration policy that makes the most of our diversity while protecting the American work force so that we can better compete in the emerging global economy.”

– “Clinton Embraces a Proposal to Cut Immigration by a Third,”
The New York Times, June 8, 1995

The Commission’s Guiding Principles

1) Clear goals and priorities must define U.S. immigration policy;
2) Effective policy means enforcement of immigration limits;
3) Regular review is needed to ensure flexibility to adjust to changing circumstances in the United States;
4) Immigration policy should be comprehensible and its implementation efficient;
5) Sponsors are responsible for ensuring that immigrants do not become burdens on the American taxpayer;
6) Immigration policy must protect U.S. workers against unfair competition from foreign workers, with an appropriately higher level of protection for the most vulnerable in our society;
7) Both temporary and permanent admissions categories must be seen as integral parts of a cohesive immigration policy;
8) A sound immigration policy supports Americanization, meaning that immigrants share with Americans such values as the belief in liberty, democracy, and equal opportunity;
9) Fundamental immigration reform requires a period of transition to get from the present system to the new one.

The Commission’s Recommendations
Following the above principles, the Commission recommended the creation of a “credible, coherent immigrant and immigration policy” and a “credible, efficient naturalization process” which included the following:

• A scale back of family chain-migration by implementing a prioritization of nuclear family relationships to determine who will be admitted through family-based immigration. Spouses and minor children of US citizens would continue to be admitted as first priority.
• Elimination of other family-based admission categories, including:
• Adult children of U.S. citizens;
• Adult children of legal permanent residents, and;
• Siblings of U.S. citizens.
• A focus on the admission of highly-skilled individuals whose skills would benefit our society. Recommended the elimination of the admission of unskilled workers and elimination of the diversity visa lottery.
• Immigration admissions level of 550,000 per year, to be divided as follows:
• Nuclear family immigration 400,000;
• Skill-based immigration 100,000;
• Refugee resettlement 50,000.
• Stressed that deportation is crucial. “Credibility in immigration policy can be summed up in one sentence: those who should get in, get in; those who should be kept out, are kept out; and those who should not be here will be required to leave.”

This is completely mind blowing. We as a nation need to stop this.

What would you do if Hundreds of Muslim “refugees” flooded your town? 

WATCH THIS VIDEO.

Refugee resettlement schemes have brought havoc on entire American neighborhoods and towns. This is completely mind blowing. We as a nation need to stop this by supporting President Donald Trump’s policies.

OBEY THE LAW...

PLEASE read the current LAW which was passed by Congress and signed into law by the President YEARS ago. 

To whom does that law give the authority to decide who can enter the country, The President, or the courts?

The ONLY LEGAL way to stop this executive order is to challenge this laws constitutionality in the Supreme Court.

It is not a ban and it is not racial profiling.

The Trump administration has faced an faced an uphill battle from the get-go on the extreme vetting executive order, beginning in Judge James Robert’s court.
More than a dozen lawsuits and counting have been filed against President Donald Trump’s executive order that temporarily blocks visas from Iraq, Iran, Syria, Libya, Sudan, Somalia, and Yemen.  It has become pretty obvious who is behind all the obstruction by the Left.   The lawsuits largely stem from organizations bankrolled by billionaire leftist George Soros and Democratic state attorneys general.

The claim of the lawsuits is that the Executive order is unconstitutional, which is of course ridiculous.  It clearly states in U.S. Code 1182, which concerns inadmissible aliens under subtitle (f) Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by President.

Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or non immigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.

That in itself justifies the Presidents actions, but it that isn’t enough, consider all the previous Presidents who have taken similar actions.

Democrats are even raising money off the lawsuits. In a Facebook post, the Democratic Attorneys General Association said, "Stand with Attorney General Bob Ferguson and all Democratic State Attorneys General fighting for what's right!" It added, "Chip in to support Democratic AGs fighting for progressive rights and freedoms."

Outside of the politicians, Soros' Open Society Foundations, which advocates for open borders, is financing several advocacy groups that initiated litigation against the order.
Leading the way in these lawsuits in several states is the ACLU, which has gotten at least $35.5 million from the Open Society Foundations, according to the Capital Research Center, a Washington think tank that investigates nonprofits.

Soros also gave $4.6 million to the National Immigration Law Center, which has been involved in litigation, according to the CRC; and $621,000 to the Urban Justice Center, which has an appendage known as the International Refugee Assistance Project that has jumped into the lawsuits, according to the CRC.

Groups funded by George Soros are litigating to keep U.S. ports-of-entry wide open to terrorists and other people who hate America," Matthew Vadum, senior vice president of the CRC, told LifeZette. "Soros has said he wants to bring America down. Flooding the country with Muslim aliens who won't assimilate is one way to do that."

The Trump administration appealed the decision to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. (Sometimes referred to as the 9^th Circus Court)  The appeals court denied the Justice Department's request for an immediate reinstatement of the executive order. It asked challengers of the ban to respond to the appeal, and for the Justice Department to file a counter-response by Monday afternoon.

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, based in San Francisco, is the nations most liberal, with 18 judges named by Democratic presidents and only seven by Republicans.
And if the issue eventually gets to the Supreme Court, five of the eight justices would need to agree to block Robert’s order. The court is now divided 4-4 between liberal and conservative justices while it awaits confirmation hearings on federal appeals court Judge Neil Gorsuch, Trump's nominee to succeed the late Antonin Scalia.

Republicans had better hurry and get Judge Gorsuch confirmed because with a 4-4 tie, the 9th Circus Court decision remains the law of the land…

I hope and pray that we do not have another terrorist attacked here in the United States.  But God forbid, if we do, all of these Left wing protesters and the Liberal judges that are preventing us from doing proper vetting will be responsible.

The flood gates are open my friends, and the liberal judges have tied our hands.  This matter may go to the Supreme Court, and it is crucial that they overturn the lower courts rulings, unfortunately, it may be too late.

President Trump is going to leave his mark on the U.S. Supreme Court. In addition to Justice Scalia's replacement, it is likely that another seat will be vacated during his term.  If he is re-elected for a second term, he could very well appoint one or two more.

Donald Trump's nominees could the court back toward limited constitutional government for an entire generation. An opportunity exists to undo the Progressive judicial activism that has undermined our Constitution the past century. This court's docket will certainly include controversial issues--such as Obamacare and immigration--and Donald Trump's nominees will play an important role in the direction of our country.

Whatever Happened to the Loyal Opposition Party.

For many years we had the governing party, and the loyal opposition party. 
The purpose of the loyal opposition party is supposed to be, by the use of checks and balances, restrain the president and the excess of one-party rule.  It has become quite obvious there is absolutely nothing loyal about the current opposition party.

We now have to contend with a third party, a party which you couldn’t vote for even if you wanted to because they do not hold elections.  The party to which I am referring is the main stream ultra liberal news media.  They, at least during this current administration, are the “Enemy Party”.

You think that is an exaggeration?   Look at how they use words like “Muslim ban” to describe an executive order that is no such thing.  Look fat how they praise the anti-Trump protesters, and Republican critics.

Look at the Twitter feeds of editors and reporters from those papers and the major networks. You’ll see their embrace of everything anti-Trump, further evidence they are part of a movement to obstruct the president, not cover him.  That report of the Bust of Martin Luther Jr. being removed from the oval office was a classic example.

Look at their rediscovered love for Republican Sen. John McCain, a man whom they ignored during Obama’s eight year.   McCain is again the newsworthy maverick because he is bucking the Republicans.

Look at how they refer to Neil Gorsuch as the nominee for the “Stolen Seat” on the Supreme Court rather than the nominee for the vacant seat.

Look at this excerpt from the New York Times.

President Trump had a great opportunity to repair some of that damage by nominating a moderate candidate for the vacancy, which was created when Justice Antonin Scalia died last February. Instead, he chose Neil Gorsuch, a very conservative judge from the federal Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit whose jurisprudence and writing style are often compared to those of Justice Scalia.

WELL DUH; he is replacing Scalia, not Gingsburg.  Even if he did nominate someone a bit less conservative, the leftist news media would still be upset.
