Trump Buries Pelosi’s ‘Walls are Immoral’ Argument: If Walls are Immoral, ‘Then Why Do Wealthy American Politicians Build Walls, Fences and Gates Around Their Homes?’
President Trump Makes Moral Case For Border Wall, Democrats Chuck and Nancy Claim Border Crisis Doesn’t Exist.
We will endorse the Democrat position as soon as Democrats pledge to remove the Pelosi, Obama, Kerry, etc. walls.
The President did precisely what he recommended in The Art of Making a Deal. When you reach an impasse. There was no temper tantrum. Just reality.

James Woods Levels Pelosi With 7-Word Bombshell
James Woods Levels Pelosi With 7-Word Bombshell Few people deserve to be excoriated more than Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. Few people are better at excoriating leftist nonsense than conservative actor and producer James Woods. Worse than not making sense, Pelosi’s remarks are the utter height of hypocrisy. It only took Woods seven words to nail her on it. Here’s the thing, Mrs. Pelosi. President Trump is not the one diverting attention from a problem here. He is the one facing the reality of a major problem, as the recent, tragic death of a policeman in California showed. And he’s striving to protect the country in the process. That’s far more preferable than a hypocritical hack who’d rather not get anything done.

Few people deserve to be excoriated more than Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.
Few people are better at excoriating leftist nonsense than conservative actor and producer James Woods.
It’s a perfect match.
As she is wont to do, Pelosi opted to grandstand publicly in an interview last week about why President Donald Trump’s border wall is, in her mind, such a horrific idea.

“The fact is, a wall is an immorality,” Pelosi said shortly after being sworn in on Thursday. “It’s not who we are as a nation.”
An immorality? I’m sorry, but it completely eludes me as to how and why wanting to secure the borders of a sovereign nation is “immoral.”
Worse than not making sense, Pelosi’s remarks are the utter height of hypocrisy. It only took Woods seven words to nail her on it.

Well, then, why do you have one?

“Well, then, why do you have one?” Woods sharply retorted.
It’s a question many leftists would struggle to answer. If security and protection are so immoral, why have any at all surrounding their homes?
Woods’ remark echoes a tweet Trump sent in late December skewering former President Barack Obama for a wall around his Washington property.
Donald J. Trump ✔@realDonaldTrump
President and Mrs. Obama built/has a ten foot Wall around their D.C. mansion/compound. I agree, totally necessary for their safety and security. The U.S. needs the same thing, slightly larger version!

And just to be clear, this isn’t some nutty right-wing conspiracy theory. Even the left-leaning fact-checkers at Snopes admitted that there was at least some truth about these walls leftists had around their homes.

It’s true that there have been some debunked memes about a wall surrounding Pelosi’s home that turned out to be false, because it was not actually her residence. But a different Snopes fact check noted that Pelosi owned property “along the banks of the Napa River on Zinfandel Lane in Northern California” that did have some sort of fencing or gates around the enclosure.
Snopes noted that the shorter walls likely provide no additional security, but at the very least Pelosi wanted to make it clear exactly where the rest of the world ends and her own land begins.
And anyone crossing that border without permission would be trespassing — and could be dealt with accordingly.
Gee, why does that sound so familiar?
Oh that’s right. It’s because that basic idea is one of the many reasons Trump has been touting border security in the face of hypocrites like Pelosi for the last several years.
Pelosi and her ilk, of course, deny that.
“And this is not a wall between Mexico and the United States that the president is creating here,” Pelosi also said in the ABC News clip. “It’s a wall between reality and his constituents, his supporters.”
Pelosi, as classy as ever, also had time the throw in a jab at the president.
“He’s a master of diversion,” she added.
Here’s the thing, Mrs. Pelosi. President Trump is not the one diverting attention from a problem here. He is the one facing the reality of a major problem, as the recent, tragic death of a policeman in California showed.

Chuck Schumer Walked Head First In This Massive Defeat That He Never Saw Coming --- What a Jerk
Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, and the rest of their fellow Democrats were thunderstruck.
They marched into the White House expecting Donald Trump to fold on his promise to secure the border.
But Schumer and Pelosi walked head first into a massive defeat they never saw coming.
Rather than provide any votes for the five billion dollars Trump requested to build the border wall, Democrats decided to shut down the government.
Schumer and Pelosi figured the GOP would not be able to endure weeks of fabricated stories in the fake news media blaming them for the shutdown.
However, Donald Trump sent another message.
The President told the Democrats he was willing to keep their shutdown going for months or even years if that was what it took to secure funding for the border wall.
Schumer met with reporters after the meeting with the President and informed them that, “he said he’d keep the government closed for a very long period of time, months or even years.”
Trump later held a press conference in the Rose Garden where he confirmed Schumer’s account.
“I did say that. Absolutely I said that,” the President said. “I don’t think it will, but I am prepared.”
Trump also stunned the Democrats by stating he could declare a state of emergency on the Southern border and use the military to build the wall.
“But we can call a national emergency and build it very quickly. And it’s another way of doing it. But if we can do it through a negotiated process, we’re giving that a shot,” the President declared.
President Trump met with reporters over the weekend before leaving for Camp David and said he was seriously considering declaring a national emergency if talks to resolve the shutdown and fund the border wall broke down.
“I may declare a national emergency dependent on what’s going to happen on the next few days,” Trump told a group of assembled reporters.
President Trump continued, “We have a meeting. Vice President Pence and a group…will be having another meeting. I don’t expect to have anything happen at that meeting, but I think we’re going to have some very serious talks come Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.”
“We have to have border security. If we don’t have border security we will be crime ridden and it’s just going to get worse and worse,” Trump concluded.
This was not what Democrats were expecting.
They thought Trump would try and hunt around for a face-saving way to retreat from the fight.
Instead, the President threw down the gauntlet.
Democrats left the meeting dazed and confused not knowing what hit them.
They thought Trump would fold quickly as Republicans broke ranks.
That did not happen.
In fact, the President only made it even clearer that he was in this for the long haul and was prepared to use every tool at his disposal to build the wall and finally secure the Southern border.

The oomgalagala is endless (and odiferous). Democrats block pro-Israel bill to protest shutdown.
by Susan Ferrechio
Senate Democrats on Tuesday blocked a bipartisan, pro-Israel bill that many of them support to protest the government shutdown, and they said they'd vote down any bill that doesn't reopen the government.
Sixty votes were needed to open debate on the Middle East security legislation, which includes language allowing states to stop doing business with companies that boycott Israel as part of the boycott, divestment, and sanctions movement.
Most Democrats voted against it, and the bill failed to move ahead in a 57-43 vote. (60 needed for passage.)
Republicans contend Democrats blocked the bill not because of the government shutdown fight, but because their party is divided over the BDS movement, which aims to end Israel’s occupation of the West Bank. Republicans decried the Democratic filibuster.
“I expected today’s action to be a big bipartisan vote, not some partisan showdown,” said Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.
McConnell pointed out that the bill includes provisions broadly backed by Democrats, many of whom cosponsored the provisions in the previous Congress.
Sen. Cory Gardner, R-Colo., who supports voting on legislation to fund the government, said Democrats were employing “a partisan double standard.”
Democrats argued that lawmakers should vote to fund the federal government, even though President Trump has pledged not to sign a funding bill unless it includes money for a border wall.
Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., who represents thousands of government employees who will not receive paychecks during the shutdown beginning on Friday, said on the Senate floor that “the first order of business should be to reopen the federal government … then we can have a discussion on how to best secure our borders.”
Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md., a co-sponsor of the blocked legislation who also represents thousands of federal workers, also voted to filibuster the bill.
“Let’s put aside what is currently pending,” Cardin said. “We can return to that calendar immediately thereafter, but let’s make sure we get these bills passed so we can open government now.”
Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., whose state is home to many federal workers and two major airports, warned TSA sick-outs will begin to increase beginning Friday when paychecks don't arrive.
But McConnell called the Democratic filibuster "a partisan tantrum, being prioritized over the public interest," and he pointed out that Democrats have in the past voted to spend federal money to construct 700 miles of border wall.
"Enforcing our laws wasn’t immoral back in 2006 when then-Senator Clinton, then-Senator Obama, and my friend the Democratic Leader were proud to vote for physical barriers," McConnell said.
A lead sponsor, Senate Foreign Relations Chairman Jim Risch, R-Idaho, called the provisions in the bill "about as unanimous as anything around here gets," adding the Senate "can walk and chew gum at the same time" and can consider the measure while dealing with the shutdown fight.
The bill in question was S.1, and Republicans were hoping it would be the first bill debated in the Senate in the 116th Congress. In addition to the BDS provision, the legislation would have provided a decade of security-related funding to Israel and would have renewed the U.S.-Jordan Defense Cooperation Act of 2015.
Sarah Sanders says Trump could find another way to fund the border wall if Dems don’t cooperate
Sarah Sanders says Trump could find another way to fund the border wall if Dems don’t cooperate
by Jerry McCormick
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders had a busy weekend sending Democrats into a tizzy.
During an interview with Chris Wallace of Fox News, Sanders said Trump is ready and willing to do anything necessary to get funding for his border wall.
One Way or Another
In a bid to secure funding for his border wall, the president has said he’ll let the partial government shutdown last as long as is necessary — and it’s already approaching the record of being the longest shutdown in American history.
That has not deterred President Trump, though.
Trump has said he is prepared to take it months or even years if necessary.
In all likelihood, though, this will be cleared up long before that.
That’s because, according to Sanders, if Dems refuse to negotiate with Trump on border wall financing, he will more than likely pursue other options to get the wall built.
Numerous Possibilities
The first and most popular option is for Democrats to get on board with the program and approve wall funding.
Trump has even hinted that if Democrats come to the table in good faith with a plan to fund the wall over several years, he would be more than willing to negotiate with them.
But it doesn’t seem like Dems are willing to budge.
That means Trump and co. must look into other options, including re allocating funds to build the wall.
Trump could use funds from another budget or sell off government loans to the private sector for the funding.
That may actually be the best option, as our agriculture department is currently holding hundreds of billions of dollars in loans.
Trump could sell off somewhere in the range of $10 billion and have more than enough to pay for the wall.
One thing we do know, though, is that one way or another, Trump is going to get this wall built, just as promised.
REPORT: Rosenstein Will Leave DOJ

by: TTN Staff
Rod Rosenstein is reportedly departing the Justice Department. The Deputy Attorney General will reportedly leave in the near future after Bill Barr is confirmed as the next Attorney General of the United States.
According to Fox News:
According to Fox News:
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is expected to leave his role in the coming weeks, sources familiar with the matter told Fox News.
Rosenstein wants to ensure a smooth transition for incoming Attorney General nominee Bill Barr and plans to transition out of the job in the coming weeks, the sources said.
Rosenstein long thought of his role as a two-year position and the two-year mark is coming soon, officials close to the departing attorney general told Fox News.
Speculation of Rosenstein’s departure mounted after the firing of former Attorney General Jeff Sessions in November. He has, until recently, overseen Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into whether Russia meddled in the 2016 presidential election and has been a target of Trump on Twitter.
Trump has cited frustration over Rosenstein's handling of a FISA application involving former Trump campaign staffer Carter Page.
Rosenstein is a Trump nominee to the Justice Department.

‘GINGERLY PREPARATIONS’ UNDERWAY IN CASE OF GINSBURG VACANCY
Saagar Enjeti | White House Correspondent

Quiet preparations are underway within conservative legal circles and the White House counsel’s office in the event that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg retires, two sources familiar with the process tell The Daily Caller.
The 85-year-old Ginsburg did not appear for oral arguments at the Supreme Court on Monday, missing the first session in her 25 years on the court for reasons of ill health. Ginsburg is currently recuperating from recent surgery to remove cancerous nodules from her lungs, marking her third bout with the disease.

“Gingerly preparations are underway, not just for Ginsburg but for any SCOTUS retirement,” a source directly involved in the Supreme Court nominations of Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh told TheDC.
Another source emphasized to TheDC that the quiet preparations are all that is realistically needed in case of a vacancy on the court because much of the required infrastructurealready exists within the White House. (RELATED: How The Supreme Court Selection Process Went Down, As Told By Brett Kavanaugh)
Both sources said that the White House counsel’s office and its conservative legal allies have now been through two successful confirmation processes, and that they have developed an intimate and professional feel for how to run the process again, if necessary.
Trump is particularly proud of his handling of the Gorsuch and Kavanaugh nominations, a source close to the White House said, noting that the president views proper handling of the Supreme Court as a necessary part of maintaining the support of his voters.

The opening would be the first under White House counsel Pat Cipollone, who assumed the position after Don McGahn. Cipollone is a longtime Washington lawyer intimately familiar with the conservative legal ecosystem.
“By appointing Pat, Trump made sure he has a White House counsel who is both able to handle the investigation and a movement conservative philosophically aligned with the base of the party,” American Conservative Union Chairman Matt Schlapp told TheDC.
Pressed on Trump’s lack of public discussion of any potential Supreme Court nomination, Schlapp noted that “Trump has figured out there are some things you keep close to the vest. He likes to be the explainer-in-chief but understands there’s a downside to sharing too much.”
John Malcolm, Senior Legal Fellow at the Heritage Foundation, similarly told TheDC that Cipollone has “very bright movement conservatives” around him as staffers, and expressed confidence in his preparations to fill a vacancy on the court.
Malcolm speculated that if Ginsburg’s seat becomes vacant, “there would be a lot of pressure to appoint a woman, I would think that one person the president would seriously look at would be Amy Coney Barett.”
