According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, illegal crossings in San Diego have dropped 92% in the 23 years since the wall went up there. Illegal traffic dropped 95% in the 22 years following Mr. Clinton’s wall in El Paso, Texas. After the Tucson, Ariz., sector wall was finished, illegal traffic dropped 90% over 15 years. And once the Yuma, Ariz., sector wall was in place under President George W. Bush, illegal traffic dropped 95% over nine years. (Link)
Oh... and this coming year, France, Iraq, Lithuania, Estonia and Norway are putting up walls. Perhaps Pelosi and Schumer can talk them out of it? Explain to them, that just because they work, doesn't mean that they should build them. It's immoral after all.
I think we need to go no further than the Obama stimulus law (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009) where we spent somewhere in the vicinity of $40 billion on energy and green technology, only to see almost nothing tangible coming out of all those billions.
The truth is that there is nearly no logical reason to believe that spending five billion on a southern border wall expansion is the sort of colossal waste of money that requires anyone to shut down the entire government in protest over it.
We have nearly 90% of border agents, as well as the recently fired former head of the border agency who all believe that the wall would be an effective tool in combating illegal border crossings on the southern border. Not to mention, many of the Democrats currently arguing against the wall, at one time or another supported a border barrier.

Double standard anyone?
Trump 2020 campaign manager Brad Parscale said Thursday that the "number one reason" swing voters are inclined to vote for the New York Republican in 2020 is because of his crusade in favor of strengthened border security and construction of a wall.
Parscale said that the 2016 election was "very grassroots" but that the 2020 bid includes "new technology" and a "much larger ground game."
He said that his team is very closely monitoring "swing voters" who disapprove of the president for reasons of tone, personality and the like, but may be inclined to support some of his policies.
"The number one reason they will vote 'for' him is because of his stance on border security," Parscale said.

Democrats are floating Moochelle for 2020.
Run on her husband's economic record.
Roth IRA under Trump goes up to $6,000 we just fully funded ours.
If Trump’s border wall gets funding, construction would not begin for at least six months — and likely longer, Zarenski said.
Land along the border still needs to be acquired.
Soil and environmental studies need to be done.
The first thing a construction firm would build is not a wall but a road. A roadway running parallel to the border would be needed to allow the backhoes, dumptrucks and cement trucks to reach the remote construction sites.
Finding enough skilled workers in the current tight labor market also would be difficult.
And the project’s massive price tag comes with its own constraints. The construction industry’s rule of thumb, Zarenski said, is it takes 5,000 to 6,000 workers a year to build $1 billion worth of construction. But you cannot fit them all on one job site. For a project like the border wall, you would want to have dozens of different sites going at once.
Zarenski calculated how fast the work could go — assuming 10,000 workers spread equally over 50 sites. Then, they could build 37 feet of border wall each workday at each site — about 1,850 feet each workday across all the sites.
Even if these huge crews broke ground today, they would finish just 86 miles of border wall by year’s end. By Election Day 2020, 161 miles of border wall would be done. It would take 11 years to reach 1,000 miles. And that is assuming 10,000 workers going all at once, five days a week.
Cut that to 5,000 workers and a 1,000-mile long wall would take more than 20 years, Zarenski said.
About 700 miles of the 2,000-mile-long U.S.-Mexico border already has some form of fence or wall.
In October, the Trump administration touted the completion of about two miles of steel-slat and concrete border wall near Calexico, Calif., as the first section of the president’s hoped-for border wall. The project had been planned since 2009 and replaced an existing barrier. And it still took eight months from contract award to completion.
It is also increasingly clear Mexico is not going to foot the bill for the border wall, despite Trump’s insistence Tuesday night that it would pay “indirectly. LOL
rrb is upset because she's not dead.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's recovery from surgery to remove malignant nodules from her left lung is "on track," a Supreme Court spokesperson said Friday, but she will continue to work from home and miss oral arguments at the court next week.
"Her recovery from surgery is on track. Post-surgery evaluation indicates no evidence of remaining disease, and no further treatment is required," said spokesperson Kathy Arberg.
In November, Ginsburg was hospitalized after suffering fractured ribs from a fall in her office at the court. Tests done during that trip to the hospital led to the incidental discovery of the nodules on her lung, which were removed in December.
Finding enough skilled workers in the current tight labor market also would be difficult.

he hard-line House Freedom Caucus is urging President Donald Trump against the explosive step of declaring a national emergency to build his wall.
Multiple Republicans in the conservative group have privately raised their concerns with the Trump administration, fearing it would lead to a years-long legal standoff that Democrats could win while setting a dangerous precedent for the presidency, according to more than a dozen lawmakers and GOP aides. They want Trump to hold out for a deal with Democrats, regardless of how long the partial government shutdown drags on.
The government shutdown has shaved about $3.6 billion off the U.S. economy as of Friday, according to estimates by S&P Global Ratings.

No, Mr. President. It is not just “criminals” who oppose your racist border wall. It’s the majority of the American people. We will not waste $5 billion of taxpayer money on the border wall at a time when we have a crumbling infrastructure, when our veterans sleeping out on the streets and 30 million of our people have no health insurance. It is irresponsible to spend billions to fulfill a campaign pledge borne of the president’s divisive, xenophobic political posturing. We have got to get our priorities right.

When is the moment we can say that Trump has clearly gone over the line in erasing democratic and constitutional restraints on his personal power?
I’d say declaring a national emergency when there isn’t one to fund a project he can’t get through Congress pretty obviously qualifies. Wouldn’t you?
He couldn’t manage to get his wall funded when his own party controlled the entire government. He even turned down a bipartisan offer to build a “wall” in return for a path to citizenship for Dreamers last year, because he wanted a reduction in legal immigration as well. He petulantly refuses to accept greater funding for border control and immigration enforcement if his symbolic wall isn’t part of the package. He says he intends to use the military to do what a civilian border force is constitutionally designed for. He even intends to seize private land in order to construct the Great Wall of America, using a military version of “eminent domain.” And he says he has the power to do all this anyway and is only negotiating with congressional leaders because he feels like it. His benchmark for when an emergency begins? When Nancy Pelosi refuses to budge. Which is proof that this “emergency” is pulled out of his giant, shapeless ass.
Ok, we lost Roger again.

http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/01/andrew-sullivan-welcome-to-act-iii-of-the-trump-tragedy.html
give queen andrew the credit he is due, alky.
And for all this, he has shut down much of the federal government as leverage to get his way, jeopardizing public safety and health, disrupting the lives (and now paychecks) of millions.
The words he has used to justify all of this are an assault on liberal democratic norms and the rule of law. Emergency powers do exist in the event of a national security crisis — but, as David French has noted, they only apply in an actual national emergency that “may require” the use of the military and even then only for “already authorized” construction projects “essential” to “national defense.” These laws were designed to restrain the executive through the law, not to give him carte blanche to appropriate funds Congress has designated otherwise. The laws were never designed to enable the president to do things the Congress had never authorized (the 2006 funds for border fencing have already been used up), and which the Congress actively, indeed strongly, opposes.
There is indeed a crisis at the border — caused by a big increase in the numbers of families with children from Central America applying for asylum. But they are not trying to evade a wall, and even if they were, you couldn’t build one fast enough to stop them. Regular economic migration from Mexico is way down. The overwhelming majority of drugs come through routine ports of entry, not the open border, or, like fentanyl, through the mail from China. Almost everything the president has said about all of this is a lie — from his disgusting demonization of illegal immigrants as criminals and animals to the alleged record number of apprehensions at the border this year to his ludicrous insistence that he never actually said that Mexico would directly pay for the wall. He just wants his goddamn wall, and he will shut down the government and violate the Constitution if he cannot get it.
Andrew Sullivan
He could have been quoting me.
He just wants his goddamn wall, and he will shut down the government and violate the Constitution if he cannot get it.
poor queen andrew.
she really seems to have her tampon in a twist this time.
alky, why don't you and queenie go down to the local spa for a nice relaxing vagina steam, eh?
The Congress is effectively not functioning, elections merely rearrange the tribal deadlock, and reasoned discourse has been tweeted out of existence in the wider public space. This democracy has no effective means to govern itself, except through bitter paralysis or executive fiat.
Now we’ve added an instinctive tyrant to this equation, and the last two years have been blinking bright red for constitutional corrosion and collapse. And now we’re seeing Trump’s tyrannical instincts in a new, post-midterm light: another party controls the House. It was bad enough when he was fighting his own party, his own Cabinet, and all of our allies. Now he’s lost the House and fired everyone who disagreed with him in his own Cabinet. He runs the country by impulsive, often contradictory diktat, and grips other tyrants— from MBS and Sisi to Putin and Bolsonaro — more closely to his chest. With the Mueller report pending, a docile new attorney general in the wings, and a majority on the Supreme Court inclined to give the executive the benefit of the doubt, we are about to enter Act III of this tragedy.
We all knew this was coming. Our liberal democracy is in abeyance. We now wait to see what the replacement will be. It could come sooner than we think.
He is a true conservative. Not a Trumpet like Scott.

" I don’t have to agree with what somebody thinks, who they vote for, what they voted for, what they think, but I will back their right to say or believe it. That’s democracy,” Johnson told The Daily Star.
“So many good people fought for freedom and equality – but this generation are for a reason to be offended. "
“If you are not agreeing with them then they are offended – and that is not what so many great men and women fought for.”
The US House controls who gets paid. The US Constitution give them the sole power.

the only feeling i have towards him is that i wonder how he would be "feeling" right now if one of his loved ones was murdered by an illegal alien.
if i was trump i would bring every angel mom and angel dad to DC and march them up to capitol hill and let the democrats tell them to their faces that their loved one's deaths don't matter, and that the crisis is manufactured.
as a parent i cannot imagine the depths of the pain these parents must feel every single day. and the fact that scumbags like pelosi and schumer would basically tell these folks "FUCK YOU" is particularly disgusting.

You forget that the House passed a funding bill (prior to January) that included the funding for the wall, and that the Senate had over 50 votes for a spending bill that funded the way, and that the President was willing to sign it.
The Democrats in the Senate filibustered that spending bill.

The Republicans have been challenging the President finally.
ANCHORAGE (KTUU) - As the shutdown of the federal government ties for the longest in U.S. history, a group of Republican senators, including senior Alaska senator Lisa Murkowski, are proposing a bill that would permanently prevent shutdowns of this kind from ever happening again.
The bill, called the End Government Shutdowns Act, was introduced Friday by U.S. Senators Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Rob Portman (R-OH), Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Steve Daines (R-MT), Johnny Isakson (R-GA), Mike Enzi (R-WY), John Barrasso (R-WY), Jim Risch (R-ID), and Mike Lee (R-UT).
According to them, the bill will "permanently prevent the federal government from shutting down, ensuring that essential government services aren’t disrupted and protecting taxpayers who must bear the resulting cost."
The bill was promoted back to attention due to the current shutdown, which began overfunds for a border wall between the U.S. and Mexico, for which President Donald Trump wants $5 billion included in the spending budget to pay for. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Democrats opposed this.
The shutdown has impacted thousands of federal employees and their families, as many are working furloughed or without pay, including here in Alaska.
In a statement Friday, Murkowski said of the shutdown: “The ripple effect of a government shutdown has consequences for all Alaskans-- most directly on the thousands of federal employees and tens of thousands more that rely on our federal agencies."
“This legislation permanently ends government shutdowns with a commonsense solution to avoid a funding lapse, ensuring the jobs and livelihoods of federal workers and contractors are not held hostage during political disputes," she said. "For the sake of our federal employees, their families, and our nation, I’m proud to support the End Government Shutdowns Act.”
Ohio Sen. Portman has introduced this legislation in every Congress since he was first elected to the United States Senate in 2010, but with this new support and in light of the continuing turmoil of the shutdown, this year it could be realized.

Updated at 10:48 p.m. ET
The House passed a short-term funding bill Thursday night that includes the money for additional border security President Trump wants — but the measure is unlikely to pass the Senate, raising the likelihood of a partial government shutdown that would begin Friday night at midnight.
However, the House bill is expected to be dead on arrival in the Senate, where Republicans have only a two-seat majority and any legislation needs 60 votes to move forward. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's office said the Senate would begin consideration of the House version on Friday, which would require consent for expedited consideration — something Democrats could block.

Senate Advances House Spending Bill with Wall Funding
21 Dec 2018
The Senate advanced the House-passed spending bill that contains $5.7 billion in wall funding on Friday.
The Senate passed a motion to proceed on the House-passed continuing resolution (CR), 48-47, that includes $5.7 billion in border wall funding, which will put the spending bill to a full floor vote soon. Vice President Mike Pence broke the tie on the motion to proceed, which will allow the Senate to vote on the legislation.
McConnell’s spokesman, David Popp, released a statement on Friday, contending that he will not drop the filibuster. Popp said:
The Leader has said for years that the votes are not there in the Conference to use the nuclear option. Just this morning, several senators put out statements confirming their opposition, and confirming that there is not a majority in the conference to go down that road.
Retiring Sens. Jeff Flake (R-AZ), Orrin Hatch (R-UT), and Lamar Alexander (R-TN) all released statements on Friday, opposing the nuclear option to fund the wall.

So Rog - The house got a vote passed, and the Senate got a procedural vote to allow debate on the house bill. McConnell had 50 votes, but did not want to go "nuclear".

Kput'z admitted engaging in sexual acts with two calves near his mother has been sentenced to serve 60 days in jail and spend five years on probation.
On a tour of a patrol station in McAllen, Texas, this week, Trump gathered 15 agents, dressed in uniforms and tactical gear, to stand next to him as he filmed a minute-long video.
“They have done an incredible job,” said Trump, sporting a “Make America Great Again” campaign hat. “But we all want to see a wall or a barrier because that will make your job even easier . . . Everybody knows we need a barrier; we need a wall,”
The agents remained silent, but the visual message was clear: Trump wanted viewers to believe Customs and Border Protection, an agency of 59,000 employees, is firmly behind him in a political skirmish that has resulted in a partial government shutdown.
By Friday afternoon, the clip had received 2.4 million views on Trump’s personal Twitter account and 1.5 million more on his personal Instagram account.
For Trump, the episode offered the latest example of his willingness to stretch the boundaries of using law enforcement agencies for political messaging. Last week, he brought leaders of unions for Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement to the White House briefing room to tout the wall.
Scott believes that the President has the support of the men who remind silent.

Susan Glasser at The New Yorker has an interesting article on Representative Eliot Engel of New York, who is now the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Quite surprisingly, as least to me, Engel is going to turn what has traditionally been a policy shop into more of an investigatory committee.
As often happens when a new chairman takes over in Congress, Engel is reorganizing the subcommittees on Foreign Affairs. He’s eliminating the committee on Terrorism, Nonproliferation, and Trade and replacing it with a panel that will devote all its time looking into Donald Trump. We don’t yet know who will chair this subcommittee, but we do have some idea of what will be on their agenda.
[...]
Chairman Engel is willing to fight other committees for the jurisdiction to investigate these matters. The traditional investigatory committees are Judiciary, Intelligence, and Oversight & Government Reform, although many committees do maintain oversight subcommittees. In some ways, the Intelligence Committee is better armed to look into foreign affairs because they and their staff have preexisting clearances and protocols for dealing with classified materials. To do this job correctly, Engel will need to transform the Foreign Affairs Committee into something it has has never been in the past.

Roger actually believes that McConnell didn't want a vote on the budget agreement? In spite of the fact that he voted it through procedurally?
Bombshell
Following President Trump’s firing of James B. Comey as F.B.I. director, the bureau grew increasingly concerned about whether the president’s actions constituted anti-American activity.The New York Times

WASHINGTON — In the days after President Trump fired James B. Comey as F.B.I. director, law enforcement officials became so concerned by the president’s behavior that they began investigating whether he had been working on behalf of Russia against American interests, according to former law enforcement officials and others familiar with the investigation.
The inquiry carried explosive implications. Counterintelligence investigators had to consider whether the president’s own actions constituted a possible threat to national security. Agents also sought to determine whether Mr. Trump was knowingly working for Russia or had unwittingly fallen under Moscow’s influence.
The investigation the F.B.I. opened into Mr. Trump also had a criminal aspect, which has long been publicly known: whether his firing of Mr. Comey constituted obstruction of justice.
Agents and senior F.B.I. officials had grown suspicious of Mr. Trump’s ties to Russia during the 2016 campaign but held off on opening an investigation into him, the people said, in part because they were uncertain how to proceed with an inquiry of such sensitivity and magnitude. But the president’s activities before and after Mr. Comey’s firing in May 2017, particularly two instances in which Mr. Trump tied the Comey dismissal to the Russia investigation, helped prompt the counterintelligence aspect of the inquiry, the people said.
He didn't let it come to a vote because he knew he President would veto it. It would have put the Republicans in awkward position with the base.
Based upon the behavior of the President law enforcement officials became so concerned by the president’s behavior that they began investigating whether he had been working on behalf of Russia against American interests.
Lol@roger.
No shoes?
Yeah right. McCabe and gang did that.
Fired for cause
The most important words in this investigation are that Donald J. Trump was under investigation by the FBI.
It could not have been allowed to proceed without the approval of the Department of Justice.
Of course I am certain that if he says anything about this bombshell, Scott will say that it's just more evidence of the Deep State conspiracy to destroy Donald J. Trump, because he defeated Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Agents and senior F.B.I. officials had grown suspicious of Mr. Trump’s ties to Russia during the 2016 campaign but held off on opening an investigation into him, the people said, in part because they were uncertain how to proceed with an inquiry of such sensitivity and magnitude. But the president’s activities before and after Mr. Comey’s firing in May 2017, particularly two instances in which Mr. Trump tied the Comey dismissal to the Russia investigation, helped prompt the counterintelligence aspect of the inquiry, the people said.
The special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, took over the inquiry into Mr. Trump when he was appointed, days after F.B.I. officials opened it. That inquiry is part of Mr. Mueller’s broader examination of how Russian operatives interfered in the 2016 election and whether any Trump associates conspired with them. It is unclear whether Mr. Mueller is still pursuing the counterintelligence matter, and some former law enforcement officials outside the investigation have questioned whether agents overstepped in opening it.
The criminal and counterintelligence elements were coupled together into one investigation, former law enforcement officials said in interviews in recent weeks, because if Mr. Trump had ousted the head of the F.B.I. to impede or even end the Russia investigation, that was both a possible crime and a national security concern. The F.B.I.’s counterintelligence division handles national security matters.
If the president had fired Mr. Comey to stop the Russia investigation, the action would have been a national security issue because it naturally would have hurt the bureau’s effort to learn how Moscow interfered in the 2016 election and whether any Americans were involved, according to James A. Baker, who served as F.B.I. general counsel until late 2017. He privately testified in October before House investigators who were examining the F.B.I.’s handling of the full Russia inquiry.
The decision to investigate Mr. Trump himself was an aggressive move by F.B.I. officials who were confronting the chaotic aftermath of the firing of Mr. Comey and enduring the president’s verbal assaults on the Russia investigation as a “witch hunt.”
No. The important fact is that the investigation was opened by the deep staters who plotted to remove him from office.
This is what Trump is going to face. The counter intelligence inspectors were not motivated by partisan politics. They are the first responders where the country is at risk.
Mr. Trump had caught the attention of F.B.I. counterintelligence agents when he called on Russia during a campaign news conference in July 2016 to hack into the emails of his opponent, Hillary Clinton. Mr. Trump had refused to criticize Russia on the campaign trail, praising President Vladimir V. Putin. And investigators had watched with alarm as the Republican Party softened its convention platform on the Ukraine crisis in a way that seemed to benefit Russia.
I knew that you would believe it's just more evidence of the Deep State conspiracy to destroy Donald J. Trump, because he defeated Hillary Rodham Clinton.
You used to drink Bush's bathwater. You have an IV on your vagina full time.
It was. Who the hell do you think opened the investigation?
Here's a hint. They're all terminated.
The people who initiated the investigation were not fired. Two lower level investigators were fired . But you are lying again.
"Joe Lieberman says the party will lose voters in the long term if her ideas become its bread and butter 'I certainly hope she’s not the future and I don’t believe she is,' Lieberman saidOcasio-Cortez fired back on Twitter: 'New party, who dis?'
I love her so much.
Her voice is truth to power
Two lower level investigators" Roger
Name them?
The F.B.I. counterintelligence agents were not the two secret lovers who exchanged emails inappropriate to the investigation by Muller.
Roger got his ads kicked a lot as a boy.
"You have an IV on your vagina full time."
Huh???
The story doesn't name the F.B.I. counterintelligence agents who were wondering about the behavior of the President before he fired Comey.
After he fired Comey Muller was called in to investigate the allegations against Donald J. Trump.
I was over six feet tall at 15. Nobody kicked my ass
Repeatly whipped
#30 climbs aboard the crazy TrAin.
"WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand is moving aggressively toward an expected presidential bid, filling out key staff positions, traveling to key states and nearing a choice on the location for a campaign headquarters, according to multiple people familiar with the discussions."
If the president had fired Mr. Comey to stop the Russia investigation, the action would have been a national security issue.
Trump has all but confirmed that he fired Comey for refusing to terminate the investigation into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Prior to the Helsinke meeting with Vladimir Putin he was advised that the Russians had intervened into the election. After the two hour secret meeting with Putin he said that Putin denied any interference in the election.
His fashion with dictators was evident during the news conference after their meeting.
The very day after Trump canned Comey he invited the Russian FM and ambassador to the Oval Office and said the heat was off now that he canned the head of the FBI.
If true. OMG
Making up more crap.
Damn you got rag dolled ass kicked in school.
Shoes dropping right and left. Too funny. Biggest political scandal ever and Roger still thinks it's about Trump/Russia...

Obama walked out of a meeting with congressional leaders in 2011. The news media called it impassioned. But when Trump does it, it's called a tantrum.
Double standard anyone?

Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani told the Times that he had no knowledge of the inquiry but said that since it was opened a year and a half ago and they hadn't heard anything, apparently "they found nothing."
He didn't deny anything.
What we learned today:
✅ Trump’s campaign chair Paul Manafort shared political data with Russia in 2016.
✅ Russia used this data to interfere in the election & put @realDonaldTrump in office.
✅ This is direct evidence of a conspiracy between Trump’s campaign and Russia.
Pretty much all of Roger's statements are flat out lies except the Russians "interfering" with the US presidential election.
The Russians did interfere with the election but it was on behalf of Hillary Clinton at her bidding.
He didn't deny anything.
Maybe because there was nothing to deny. There is however, an open question as to whether certain senior leaders in the FBI abused their power.
@Byron York
James Comey bungled Hillary Clinton investigation. Then started sketchy Trump probe. Then did a dossier-based, Moscow hookers, J. Edgar Hoover-style 'we know about you' routine with Trump before Trump became president... 1/4
Then Comey told Trump three times he wasn't under investigation while leaving public impression that he was. Trump understandably angry. Then, when Trump fired Comey--as some advisors had advocated for months--FBI saw it as treason. 2/4
Now, NYT reports FBI reacted to justified firing of Comey by opening counterintelligence investigation, probing 'whether [Trump] had been working on behalf of Russia against American interests.' 3/4
Investigation result: 'No evidence has emerged publicly that Mr. Trump was secretly in contact with or took direction from Russian government officials.' Is NYT story about Trump, or about FBI malfeasance? 4/4 End.
Good question. My theory is that some TDS liberals at the New York Times are trying the keep the Russian collusion narrative alive. If nothing else it's pretty good click bait.
"The Federal Reserve is now projected to keep interest rates steady in the first quarter, instead of raising them, before two increases total this year -- down from four moves in 2018."
Raised rates right after President Trump was Elected.
Never raised rates in 8 years be for Trumps Election.
Fed Chair Powell has finally listen to President Trump.
Powell's radical unwarranted rate hikes nearly killed the Trump Recover .

Roger, we do really try to educate you.
It is up to you to learn.
Dennis called Hillary a "dud".
He didn't let it come to a vote because he knew he President would veto it. It would have put the Republicans in awkward position with the base.
The bill had the wall funding, Roger...
and nearly 100% GOP support.
Why would the President veto it?
You're wrong, wrong, wrong... and just keep digging your hole.
Roger has moved into full blown troll ville.
True test that President Trump is Winning.
