Trump May Invoke ‘Insurrection Act’ to
REMOVE Illegal Immigrants From U.S.
{ lidblog.com } ~ President Trump will do anything within the law to solve the problem of illegal immigration. The Daily Caller is reporting that he may use an obscure 1807 law called the Insurrection Act... as his next step to help solve the illegal immigration crisis. The Insurrection Act is a United States federal law that governs the ability of the President of the United States to deploy military troops within the United States to put down lawlessness, insurrection, and rebellion. The report cites multiple senior administration officials say “the president intends to invoke the “tremendous powers” of the act to remove illegal immigrants from the country.” A crucial part of the Insurrection act says: Whenever the President considers that unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellion against the authority of the United States, make it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States in any State by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, he may call into Federal service such of the militia of any State, and use such of the armed forces, as he considers necessary to enforce those laws or to suppress the rebellion. The President, by using the militia or the armed forces, or both, or by any other means, shall take such measures as he considers necessary to suppress, in a State, any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy, if it—(1) so hinders the execution of the laws of that State, and of the United States within the State, that any part or class of its people is deprived of a right, privilege, immunity, or protection named in the Constitution and secured by law, and the constituted authorities of that State are unable, fail, or refuse to protect that right, privilege, or immunity, or to give that protection; or (2) opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States or impedes the course of justice under those laws. In the past, the Act was used for everything from Lincoln’s justification for the Civil War to Eisenhower’s use of the national guard to enforce Brown v. Board of Education in Arkansas, and Bush #41 using the act to send troops to help quell the 1992 L.A. riots. Beyond the Insurrection Act, the President intends to declare the U.S. is presently full... https://lidblog.com/insurrection-act/

scumbag-Schumer Accused
of 'Unprecedented' Obstruction
by Amber Athey
{ dailycaller.com } ~ Senate Republicans are knocking Senate Minority Leader Chuck scumbag-Schumer for “unprecedented obstruction”... of Trump nominees in a new video Wednesday. The Senate Republican Communications Center points out in the video, which was provided exclusively to The Daily Caller, that Democratic filibusters on Trump nominees have forced a historic number of cloture votes in the Senate. The motion for cloture is a tool to limit debate on nominees, and is typically used to end a filibuster or other procedural techniques used by the opposition to delay or block a nominee. During his first two years in office, President Donald Trump’s judicial and executive nominees have faced 128 cloture votes. Comparatively, just 12 nominees faced cloture votes during President Barack scumbag/liar-nObama’s first two years. That means Trump’s nominees have faced more than 10 times the number of cloture votes than scumbag/liar-nObama’s nominees. “For the past two years, Senate Democrats have engaged in systematic, unprecedented obstruction by delaying qualified, uncontroversial nominees,” the video states....

Democrat-Run Cities Drown in Debt
Thomas Gallatin: Truth in Accounting, an organization founded in 2002 “to educate and empower citizens with understandable, reliable, and transparent government financial information,” recently released its report on America’s 10 most populous cities and their corresponding taxpayer burdens. The report notes, “Collectively, taxpayers in these 10 cities face an average combined per-taxpayer burden of nearly $50,000, including county, state, and ‘off-balance-sheet’ city government entities. This compares to a per-taxpayer position of $19,000 for their city government alone.”
Topping the list of cities with the highest taxpayer burden is Chicago, coming in at a whopping $119,119 per taxpayer. New York City is a distant second at $85,600. The rest of the list is as follows:
Los Angeles: $56,390
Philadelphia: $50,120
San Jose: $43,120
San Diego: $35,410
Dallas: $33,490
Houston: $22,940
San Antonio: $16,660
Phoenix: $13,290
Much of this burden is due to unfunded retirement obligations that have accumulated over a number of years. In Chicago alone, it’s $39 billion in promised retirement benefits, including $28 billion in unfunded pensions, and $842.9 million in unfunded retiree health care benefits. Interestingly but not surprisingly, of these 10 cities only two — San Diego and San Antonio — are not currently run by Democrats. In fact, Chicago last had a Republican mayor way back in 1931. For Philadelphia, it was 1948. In other words, Democrats’ big-government polices are proving to be fiscally untenable and overly burdensome to taxpayers. And that’s to say nothing of the violence and cultural degradation in these urban poverty plantations.
Meanwhile, is it any wonder many people are fleeing these high-tax locales for lower-taxed, fiscally responsible states like Tennessee? In U.S. News & World Report’s new rankings, Tennessee really is, as our Robin Smith wrote three years ago, the “model for America.” In fact, of the top 15 states in the rankings, 12 voted for Donald Trump in 2016. And the top three — Tennessee, Florida, and South Dakota — have no income tax. The general lesson is that spendthrift Democrats lead their cities and states into insurmountable debt, while low-tax Republicans tend to be more fiscally responsible. ~The Patriot Post
