January 6 – “Insurrection” Part 2

It has been stated more times than I can count by the media and Biden, that Trump led an insurrection on January 6th, 2021. You judge, but please look at the evidence this time…

The January 6th committee has said countless times that Trump did NOT order 10,000 troops to ensure an event like what happened on January 6th. This is 100% true, that Trump did not order troops to descend on Washington D.C. So now what?

Prior to January 6th, Trump “offered” 10,000 to

Chief of Staff Mark Meadows stated that Trump ordered the Secretary of Defense to make available 10,000 National Guardsmen for the City of Washington for January 6th. Acting Secretary of Defense, Mr. Miller then told Trump that the Department of Defense (DoD) was going to provide any number of Guard personnel that Washington officials requested. The then mayor of Washington D.C. on January 5th said they would not request any federal law enforcement – which would include the National Guard.

What happens now, is that the offer for these 10,000 National Guardsmen would then go to the Capitol Police. This offer was turned down by the House Sergeant-at-Arms, Paul Irving turned down the offer. His reasoning was that he was concerned by the “optics” of having National Guard present and didn’t feel that the intelligence supported it.

On CNN live, Trump mentioned that “Crazy” Nancy Pelosi (over the Capitol Police) and the Mayor both turned down his offer. “I offered them soldiers, National Guard, I offered them whatever they want and they turned me down.”

The result from the January 6th committee was, and I quote, “President Trump had authority and responsibility to direct deployment of the National Guard in the District of Columbia, but never gave any order to deploy the National Guard on January 6th or on any other day.”

And so now, for what actually happened.

According to Miller’s testimony, Trump asked during that meeting whether the District of Columbia’s mayor had requested National Guard troops for Jan. 6, the day Congress was to ratify Joe Biden’s presidential election victory.
Trump told Miller to “fill” the request, the former defense secretary testified. Miller said Trump told him: “Do whatever is necessary to protect demonstrators that were executing their constitutionally protected rights.”

What’s left out in every piece of new media is that the National Guard were actually nearby. You heard me right. The U.S. Military was deliberately restrained on January 6th from responding to the events of January 6th, because there were fears that there would be a military coup. Smoke and mirrors from the Democratic leadership, Nancy Pelosi and gang. The U.S. Military did show up that day, but only have some of the protestors and a Capitol Police officer died. Only one person was shot by the Capitol Police and that was a 5’2″ 115lb lady who used to serve our military.

Trump has offered Military troops to several states during the BLM protests and all of those were rejected as well. Trump wasn’t going to force the military to overrun cities like Washington D.C. But he offerend them all support. Seems that no Democrat wanted help from Trump even though it would have been the right thing to do and a lot of people died and a lot of business were burned down because of it. If you are going to place blame – do the right thing. Vote for Trump 2024.

January 6 – “Insurrection”

A guy recently and smugly I might add, asked me the question…

As a matter of fact, he was on to something. So, I did more research and came up with the following. Some I was already aware of, but some was new and may be of interest, whether you are left, right or center…

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called the Capitol riot on Jan. 6 a “terror attack,” which resulted in “almost 10 dead.”

That’s terrible. AOC is a progressive democrat, so she MUST be talking about how many people the Trump supporters killed, right? Right?

Here are the first two who were killed. Oh, I mean, died of heart attacks. “Stop the Steal” protesters Kevin and Benjamin – both in their 50’s. 1 Kevin a two time voter of Barack Obama, but now Trump supporter who “had a history of high blood pressure…suffered a heart attack” prior to the Capitol being breached. Benjamin was “in the area of the United States Capitol in attendance of first amendment activities” when he died, also of natural causes.

Philips, a computer programmer, died due to a “medical emergency…hypertensive atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease” which resulted in heart failure due to high blood pressure.

That’s 3 dead so far. Died of natural causes and at the moment of their death, NOT Democrats. Shall I continue? Yes, lets.

“Rosesanne Boyland, 34 was crushed by fellow rioters.” First, she was part of the crowd and not against them. Then after HUNDREDS OF REPORTS that she was crushed by the chaotic rioters like she “was dying after being trampled by the mob” it was quietly made known that she had died of “acute amphetamine intoxication” or more clearly stated, self poisoned herself either unintentionally or intentionally, but the result is the same, which leads to hypertension, tachycardia, as well as other less lethal side effect. She was not pushed down, she did not die from being trampled. That’s fact. But the damage was done and people believed it, because the news said so.

Then there is Ashli Babbit a 35 year old woman, an Air Force veteran who was shot an killed by a Capitol Police officer. As you watch the video, watch how the Capitol Police step aside to let the crowd continue to break down the door with a wooden flag pole with a flag on it and some guys helmet. Then another Capitol police officer, in a business suit, behind the door shoots the 5’2″ and 115lb unarmed woman as she was climbing up the door. She hadn’t attacked the Capitol Police that were standing right next to the doors on the outside. There was no indication that she was a physical threat. But, again, right or wrong, she was one more stat of a dead Trump fan. NOT a democrat. 2

Now, we have 5 police officers “killed” during the Capitol attack on January 6. Remember? This was big in the news. Multiple police killed during Jan 6 Insurrection!

USCP Officer Brian Sicknick “passed away due to injuries sustained while on-duty…was injured while physically engaging with protesers. He returned to his division office and collapsed.” That’s what was reported. It was further stated that he had been struck by a fire extinguisher. But medical experts LATER determined his death was not caused by any such thing. In fact, on APRIL 19th, more than 3 months later,

District of Columbia Chief Medical Examiner Francisco J. Diaz found that Sicknick suffered two strokes nearly eight hours after being sprayed with a chemical irritant during the riot. Diaz told the Post that Sicknick died of natural causes, but “all that transpired played a role in his condition.”

That day, US. Capitol Police released a statement that read: “The USCP accepts the findings from the District of Columbia’s Office of the Chief Medical Examiner that Officer Brian Sicknick died of natural causes. This does not change the fact Officer Sicknick died in the line of duty, courageously defending Congress and the Capitol.”

Don’t want to forget that he was defending Congress. Ok. The report was that he was killed. That’s what the media reported HUNDREDS OF TIMES, but did you know he had two strokes after being sprayed with a chemical irritant? Well then it was the Trump protestors that sprayed him, right? Even as of Jan 20, 2023 NPR was reporting that Trump supporters were throwing smoke bombs and gas bombs. 3

CBS is still pushing the narrative that Sicknick was a victim of Trump supporters killing him. 4 And even though it was ruled natural causes, there were still two people sentenced to years behind bars for the attack on Sicknick. Go figure. NY Times reported that, Brian “died the day after he was overpowered and beaten by rioters from the mob at the Capitol.” 5 They finished with, ““He returned to his division office and collapsed,” the Capitol Police said in a statement. “He was taken to a local hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.” which turned out to be untrue. But the damage was done.

Here we see it was Capitol Police using tear gas, flashbangs, etc. It’s inciting a riot by hurting civilians just standing there. Most of which were peaceful, right? 6

So, was it Insurrectionists or was it Capitol Police that were indicated as being deployed against Sicknick?

The Hill (left leaning) on the day of Jan. 6th wrote a piece, “Police using tear gas, smoke grenades to clear Capitol grounds ahead of curfew.”9

USCP Officer Howard, 51 who had worked there for 15 years, committed suicide three days after the event. Then DC Police Officer Jeffrey, 35 committed suicide because “he was afraid that he might die,” as reported by his wife. Two more, 6 months later, who were not there during the mob, but there after hours also committed suicide – Kyle 26 and Gunther (age unknown).

Well.. There is AOCs list of people who died at the Insurrection. One tiny unarmed lady shot and killed by an out of uniform Capitol Police officer and a smattering of heart attacks and suicides.

What was the Insurrection again? A bunch of people carrying flags, charged by Donald Trump to go down and “peacefully and patriotically” protest. None of them were armed. They were doused in chemical smoke while outside of the building, tear gassed and some reports of other items thrown into the crowd.

And then… we have evidence that there were many FBI and other government officials in the crowd, “INCITING VIOLENCE.”

Aside from that, Trump had asked to have the National Guard on hand, but Pelosi and the Democrats said no.

Capitol Police officers stepped aside. Opened doors for these protestors and the list goes on and on…

What’s the truth? You decide. But don’t for one minute think that the media didn’t shape your opinion and the opinion of millions in the United States to think that there was so much more going on January 6th than there was…..

You have heard so many things about Trump that are patently false. This agenda that I laid out for you here is such a clear example of what the media and Democrat darlings said, vs. what was actually the truth, in order to derail Trump from ever running for president again. However, there are too many people who rely on truth to live out their lives, rather than listening to the crap fed to them by fake news media…

I’ll end with this. During the impeachment trials, it was clear that the Democrats were skewing what Trump had said during his Jan 6th speech. Even cutting out words from Trump’s speech to make is sound like it was him inciting everyone. But in fact, it was revealed in open chambers by the House Republicans that Trump did in fact say these very clear and poignant words… “Peacefully and Patriotically make your voices heard!!!”

Snopes, known for being far left and skewing their facts is actually in full agreement that during the second impeachment trial on Feb. 9, 2021 of sitting U.S. President Donald Trump that

House Democrats did not show footage of Trump telling supporters on Jan. 6 to “peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”10

They cut out spots where Trump was clear with his direction and then assigned nefarious intentions of other words he said. You judge, but make it a good judgement.

“Trump Didn’t Pay Taxes,” so they said.

I’ve been hearing this forever. They wanted Trump’s tax returns for years. Well, Trump delivered. But before he did, he had a conversation with Hillary, which answered what they found all that time later.

Trump did pay millions in taxes. However, due to Hillary and the Dems, there are tons of loopholes that her donors get and Trump said that he uses those loopholes too. At least he is honest.

Remember this???

Trump’s Tax Cuts Primarily for the Top 1%

So they say, Trump’s Tax Cuts in 2027 were 87% for the benefit of the top 1%?

I heard this the other night and I gave my typical anecdote that I had received benefit by seeing a reduction in taxes as well as some of my friends. I pointed out, we are lower-middle and at the time we were a single-income family. He continued to protest. The conversation dove back into the 80’s with Reagan and his trickle-down economics and there were all kinds of factoids presented. The one source me mentioned was, “I heard it on NPR.” To which I was exacerbated and ended the conversation because the was no fruit.

This morning, as I almost always do, I reflect in conversations that I have to evaluate my thinking. Was I right in saying something? Should I reevaluate my perspective? What are actually the facts of the matter? Was the manner in which I communicated, friendly or even useful? What was I trying to accomplish?

I recognized the guy I was speaking with and I even knew his name. Very pleasant guy and we have had random chit chat conversations in the past. Started with primarily a conversation about interest rates, with him sharing some rates his family had experienced and I with my current house which I had bought within the last year. I’m rather not pleased with interest rates and expressed the resemblance to years long gone by where rates were going up up up. At the writing of this article, in prime real estate it’s high 7’s and even 8 and up, depending on the investment. My friend then said, yeah, we won’t see interest rates low like we did only a couple years ago, for a long time, or something to that effect. But this is where I revealed all my cards in one statement… “I bet if Trump were to be elected again, he would turn the interest rates back down.”. That’s what set the trajectory of our conversation to crap.

My mistake.

Be that at it may. I am still going to go through and evaluate the conversation…

First, I should have tested the waters for political leanings, without something as inflammatory as mentioning Trump’s name. Sets people off in a weird way sometimes. Short answer to myself, be patient and don’t assume that everyone in “small-town USA” is going to support former Republican presidents. Truth be told, I am less fond of some of the former Republican presidents now, than I ever was. But ironically, I voted independent, up until Obama. Fun fact. Also, another fun fact, Trump wasn’t who I voted for in the primaries, leading up to his initial presidency.

Back to how I responded… When my friend told me that NPR was his source, I responded very poorly. I didn’t start calling him names, but I scoffed for sure. That was a big woops moment for me. I owe him an apology for that, to be sure. I did go to shake his hand, to which he looked me in the face and shook my hand as well… But it was not the way I like to end conversations at all. I screwed up.

What was I trying to accomplish? Looking back, and for some odd reason, I just assumed the man I was speaking with would find it, at the very least, mildly humorous or entertaining to suggest that Trump could turn things around with interest rates. Nope. Conversation went tilt, from then on. I will need to address at some point.

Now to the meat of the factoids my friend presented… Beginning with the tax cuts mostly benefitting the tip 1%.

CNN reports (efn_note)https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/26/politics/fact-check-sanders-town-hall-tax-cuts/index.html

 (Su_quote) Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont appeared at a CNN presidential town hall Monday night. After his first question from the audience, Sanders argued that President Donald Trump “said he’d have a tax plan to benefit the middle class, but 83% of the benefits go to the 1%.”

CNN states, (su_quote)Facts First: This isn’t true right now, but if certain tax cuts are not extended it will be the case in 2027, according to the Tax Policy Center.

2027. Ok. So, technically, Trump did Not cut taxes primarily for the rich. But let’s read more from CNN.

The tax reform passed in December 2017 included tax cuts for corporations as well as individuals – but while the benefits for business were permanent, the individual taxpayer cuts will expire by 2027. If Congress does nothing to extend them, the top 1% will at that point receive roughly 83% of the tax cut benefits, according to estimates from the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center.

The same study said that for the 2018 tax year, the top 1% would receive 20.5% of the benefits from the tax cuts.

Why the 10-year timeline? That’s thanks to Senate rules that allow tax cuts to pass with fewer than 60 votes if they won’t increase the deficit in 10 years – a necessity for Republicans to get the tax reform through.

But it’s possible that a future Congress and President would vote to extend Trump’s tax cuts – even if Democrats are in charge. A vast majority of the last major round of tax cuts passed by President George W. Bush were made permanent under President Barack Obama.

Who else was talking about Trump’s Tax Cuts for the 1%?

Simple evaluation is that this was a media and Dem false talking point.

Presidents and Confidential Information

Biden chastised Trump for Trump having Classified documents at his house in Maro Lago.

https://youtu.be/tMuFCdrwJRU

Biden asked by Peter Doocy, “You have Classified material next to your Corvette?” Biden responds, “My Corvette’s in a locked garage, not like it was out in the street.”

What do you do with this kind of information? Some will say, well, I like Biden, so it’s ok for him. Others will say they hate Trump, so it’s one standard for one and not for the other. And yet others will perhaps change their tune about Trump on yet another hyped up charge against him. We’ll see.

Is Trump a racist?

Seems that CNN, MSNBC, CBS and all the others on the left keep telling us, “Trump is a Racist.” What’s the truth? Does Trump hate Black people? Does Trump hate Mexicans? Does Trump hate Jews? Does Trump hate any race of people?

I’m going to address a couple of these and will add on as I have time. Here’s the first one…

People keep saying that Trump hates Jews. Let’s set aside the fact that Trump’s daughter is a Jewish convert and his son-in-law is Jewish. How about if you just hear it from the prime minister of Israel, Netanyahu? He says, “No greater supporter to Jewish people than Trump.” Just listen for yourself.

https://studio.youtube.com/video/Vc6bE9WT_y4/edit

It seems we can cancel those who say that Trump doesn’t like Jews. This is one off the list. Let’s see what else we can come up with.

MSNBC reported the following as what Trump said. Do please notice where the quotes are and what is in the brackets.

Read the Youtube headline “Donald Trump’s Comments on Immigrants: They’re Rapists. They All Have AIDS | Velshi & Ruhle |MSNBC”

Now, if Trump actually said this, I’d fire Trump in an instant. The announcer Ali Velshi states the lead up and the clip continues, “Back when he announced his candidacy, the day he announced his candidacy in 2015 he made inflammatory remarks about Mexican immigrants” and the next words out of Trump’s mouth – mid-sentence, just as the headline showed were “they’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime, they’re rapists and some I assume are good people.” That’s it, that’s all that was shown at that moment, to bookend the point made about Trump being racist as he turns and rushes to the next feed of information.

What about what came before that mid sentence clip that Kenyan-born Muslim Ali Velshi set this up for? (giving context for those opposing Trump and any potential bias) MSNBC doesn’t want you to know the truth.

Here is one of the pieces that Ali Velshi has for us. One of Ali’s quotes leading into many different comments against Trump, everyone one which he only gives a snippet, while concealing ALL CONTEXT. “Long list of incendiary remarks from Donald Trump.” – Ali Velshi

Incomplete clip

C-Span2 – here is what Trump actually said. “The U.S. has become a dumping ground for everyone else’s problems.” He’s not wrong. Countries all over the world are broken and many are in war or overrun with crime. Mexico being one of them. Entire Mexican border towns filled with cartel. Tell me… Do you have a trip scheduled to go to Tijuana or Nuevo Laredo anytime soon? If you do, you should really consider that Tijuana is officially the highest murder rate in the world. This is a border town in California, right next to San Diego.

Many of the people in those countries are broke and have no options and FLEE their country in hopes of something better. These aren’t primarily the elite of these countries. Really think about that. This is reality. Trump also said, “When Mexico sends it’s people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending YOU.” Process this as well. He looks around, most likely at other immigrants who are solid contributors to our society and our country.

Complete 57 minute clip starting at 10:38

Trump said “When do we beat Mexico at the border? They’re laughing at us at our stupidity. And now they’re beating us economically. They are not our friend. Believe me. But they’re killing us economically. The U.S. has become a dumping ground for everybody else’s problems.” (someone yelled out something) “It’s true,” Trump continued. “And these aren’t the best and the finest. When Mexico sends it’s people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people who have lots of problems. And they’re bringing those problems with us. (I would assume me meant -with them – but you decide) They’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime, they’re rapists and some I assume are good people.”

Ali Velshi/MSNBC says – Trump just said “Mexican immigrants” – when what Trump actually said was “The U.S. has become a dumping ground for everybody else’s problems.” & “And these aren’t the best and the finest. When Mexico sends it’s people, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending people who have lots of problems. And they’re bringing those problems with us. (them)”

Why are people leaving Mexico? They aren’t in a war are they? NBCNEWS reported October of 2021, “Violent crimes rise in Mexico; 94.8% go unpunished.” 1

Why doesn’t anyone give a crap about the problem and just solve the problem by taking on everyone else’s problems?

Back to it. Who are the people coming across the border illegally? It’s not the industrious family guy who works every day taking care of his family and has a great community to back him. It’s not the rich executives. It’s not those that have much of anything, but this do the often have to scrape up some money to come across. Why?

The destitute are coming across. But how do they get across? Do they just decide to head north and swim across the river and walk into the United States? NOT THAT EASY. Here’s what they aren’t telling you or at least what most of you are not seeing:

Cartel decides who comes across the border – from Texas to California. Let that sink in.

Mexican cartels exploiting border chaos to smuggle fentanyl into US 3NY Post 2022/06/10

A couple million people have illegally come across the border this year alone. In this chaos, fentanyl is being strapped onto migrants and these migrants are indebted to the cartels to deliver these drugs to some recipients already on our side of the border. It’s drug trafficking.

Greedy cartels are holding migrants for $10K ransom in stash houses after crossing 4NY Post 2022/07/13

The same Mexican cartels are holding more and more migrants for ransom as well, once they illegally get them across the border. The cartels are kidnapping these people and holding them in Texas cities in deplorable conditions. Remember, these migrants already paid once, to even get across the border, then they are tricked, kidnapped and held for ransom.

Drug cartels decide who crosses, and people in their organization use the children to enter the U.S. 5

I question this source above.

Legal immigrants commit crimes as a lesser percentage than US citizens – sources: The Sentencing Project and Cano Institute (libertarian). Perhaps this is true. And I hope it is. Legal immigrants are vetted before they are inducted into the United States and if they were found to have a criminal background, they would likely be ineligible.

The same is not true of illegal aliens. First, crossing the border is by it’s very nature illegal. Then getting a job, they are often committing a felony to obtain the proper documents to get a job, to drive and obtain benefits that are generally restricted to U.S. citizens. This includes documents like fraudulent Social Security numbers, which is a Federal offense, which they are actually utilizing other citizen’s numbers in the United States that they obtain to live in the U.S. This means fraud and U.S. citizens are directly impacted, sues, jailed and otherwise, because of the acts of illegal immigrants that stole their information. Destroys people’s credit scores, destroys people’s lives and can take away their freedom.

The Social Security Administration estimates that in 2019 the administration made $7.9 billion in improper payments due to fraud. 6

REPHRASE THIS – when dealing with illegals – It can take U.S. citizens YEARS to unscrew themselves from all the problems of illegal aliens using their Social Security numbers.

Here were other headlines – in 2015

Now, many may not like that Trump doesn’t see Mexico as our friend. And many may disagree and say that Mexico isn’t benefitting off of us economically, in an unfair way.

“I like Mexico. I love the Mexican people. I do business with the Mexican people, but you have people coming through the border that are from all over. And they’re bad. They’re really bad,” he said. “You have people coming in, and I’m not just saying Mexicans, I’m talking about people that are from all over that are killers and rapists and they’re coming into this country.” 7

During Trump’s presidential campaign for the 2016 election was a flurry of news reports of Trump “Quotes” and they were all pointing at Trump being a racist. Let’s look at what was said.

Ora, which is owned by the world’s second-richest man, Carlos Slim, described Trump’s comments as “racist”.8

Who is Carlos Slim? Other than owning Ora a Mexican television network,

The New York Times & Carlos Slim

Business Insider did a piece showing Trump talking about Carlos Slim on October 14th, 2016, where Trump indicated that Carlos owned 17% of The New York Time.9 Accessed on 10/26/2020

Quick review of The New York Times itself showed Trump’s assertion to be true 10.

Carlos Slim invested $250 million into The New York Times, while there were in financial crisis due to enormous amounts of debt, in 2009 where he original obtained 6.9% of the company. But between imposing a 14% interest rate including other criterion, his shares reached the current 17% after exercising what are called “warrants” which doubled his stake overnight.11 The Sulzberger family, which were the controlling family, let their ownership slip from 19% down to 13%. Carlos Slim is in the majority control now.12

Background of Carlos Slim Helu’:

Son of Catholic Lebanese immigrants to Mexico. As of this year, he is at about $50 billion of net worth.13 However another report is that as of 2017, he was at $65 billion, per Forbes.14

You say “lies”. What on earth do I have to gain? I’m a researcher. Genealogy, Biblical/Theological studies, Historical. I go to where the evidence leads me. If my mind has to be changed – like James Morris has helped me to form new views, then I evaluate, judge and change my mind. But see, people just keep blaming Trump. FOR EVERYTHING. When he is just doing it better and doing what he said he’d do, unlike the jokers from before him.
Hillary wanted a wall. (Dem) – Good for her. Obama wanted a wall and even voted for a wall. (Dem) – Good for him. Biden wanted a wall and even voted for a wall. (Dem) – Good for him.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6denkE_Cxk&t=43s
Let me be more clear. Biden says that people coming across the border illegally are bringing tons, tons, tons of methamphetamines to cocaine to heroin. Does that mean that Biden says all Mexicans are drug pushers?
But then Trump wants a wall and actually builds a wall. (Ind/Rep) – Racist.
Absolutely Hypocrisy.
Obama had the cages built in 2014. Just go look. Illegal immigration was on the rise with
Just as many on average immigrant people coming in lawfully. Trump isn’t stopping people of different races and religions from coming to our country. Trump is on average, has welcomed immigrants in numbers similar to Obama – at about 1% of our total population allowed in, every 3 years. https://www.dhs.gov/immigration-statistics/yearbook/2019/table1

Trump completely disavowed hatred, bigotry and violence. But CNN didn’t show this. MSNBC didn’t show this. They only showed you the clip where he says – “there were good people on both sides.” Trump does and always has wanted equality for all people of all colors.

Indians say that even “REDSKINS” is not racist

American Indians today see the term “Redskins” as being a sign of respect and admiration of the American Indian culture. So, woke left – You seem to be the one’s hating on the American Indians and taking away places where they are being respected. You made up your own facts, which are just flat out lies and you are devaluing yet another race of people.

Example: “Redskins…That’s a historic, that’s a fighter.” This same man then refers to Apache helicopters, Navajo Code Talkers and even citing “Geronimo”

There are some who are offended and are very vocal. However, a study states that 9 out of 10 Native Americans are NOT offended. Over 504 people were polled. One such person polled said, “The Washington Redskins team, our fans and community have always believed our name represents honor, respect and pride. Today’s Washing Post polling shows Native Americans agree.

Special note, is that some of the activists refer to George Floyd as being a catalyst for the “victory” they received in getting the Washington Redskins name changed.

Kids in Cages – Separated at the Border – or not?

Trump told us in 2020 that the pictures that were shown with “kids in cages” was actually a set of pictures from Obama’s administration. Biden then went on the record to say that Trump was responsible for the splitting up children from their families. Trump however said that it was cartels that were bringing in children and dumping them into the U.S. So, what is actually true? 1

Trump was clear and Biden was clear. But it seems that Trump was a bad man, doing something that no president had done before.

But now, it seems that hindsight it 20/20. Or should I say 20/22.

New York Post is clear – “Mexican drug cartels using kids as decoys in to smuggle its members into US: sheriff” 2

Mexico’s ruthless drug cartels are using helpless children as decoys to smuggle their members into the US — courtesy of the Biden administration’s relaxed immigration policies, law enforcement told The Post.

CNN is reporting it – April of 2021 “Border patrol video shows young children being dropped over 14-foot border fence into the US”3

It’s crystal clear. Trump was telling the truth. Biden was lying. And the “Woke” left believed Biden. So, it’s worse today that it was 2 years ago. Just let that marinate.

Beto for Trashing Texas

Beto is a real class act. He’s seemingly anti-second amendment. He’s clearly the foulest mouth of most any politician. He doesn’t speak for me. And he certainly does not speak for a united Texas. Not only did Beto drop an f-bomb, he actually called someone a “motherf&cker.”

But is that enough to discard someone from candidacy? Maybe not.

Beto is coming after Texan guns. We all know here in the great state of Texas that Texans support constitutional carry. Let me ask you this. Are you good with Beto taking your AR-15 or any other guns you might have? Well he said and CNN quoted, “Hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15” 1

Then there are things that are even more alarming about Beto.

Do you want a person who fantasized murdering children to run your great state of Texas? Do you want someone who complains about the rich, yet who is a multi-millionaire himself?

Read on from what Savanna posted yesterday on Facebook and all of the commonly accepted sources- 10/30/2022

Let’s not forget that he (Beto) fantasizes about mùřd.er.!nğ children. He is a walking red flag law. 2
And that he rails against the wealthy, when he himself is super-rich. 3
And he was a main member in a hacking group. 4
Just a poser with zero integrity.

That pretty much encapsulates the Democrat runner for Governor of Texas. Beto is not for Texas. Perhaps he should give Gavin Newsom a run for his money. I mean, Beto has tons of money, why not?

Fun little Beto support crew parody – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJzOZuPgcMc

Thank you!!!

Thanks and good riddance… Again.

DOJ lying, FBI lying or just Norah O’Donnell?

Multiple sources on both sides of the aisle report that Trump said FBI confiscated his passports. All of the left leaning use phrase, “allegedly confiscated,” suggesting maybe Trump was wrong.

The media got a hold of this and speculation that they were wanting to keep Trump from being able to escape the U.S. and every other spectrum of false speculation came up. But there was a theme, Trump is lying.

Immediately, this comes out.

According to Norah O’Donnel, “the FBI is NOT in possession of former President Trump’s passports. Trump has accused the FBI of stealing his three passports…” The entire note below.

It would appear that Norah set the record straight that Trump was lying. Case closed, right?

Which headline debunks all of the left media and Norah the best? You choose.
