Donald Trump’s claim that he could build a southern-border wall and have Mexico pay for it was certainly good GOP primary rhetoric. But now a former Mexican official says it’s also something the Republican nominee’s critics never suspected: a realistic policy proposal.
Jorge Castañeda, who was Mexico's secretary of foreign affairs from 2000 to 2003 and is now a New York University professor, made his comments at the Hudson Institute (video below) in Washington last Wednesday.
Ah, that pesky First Amendment. It limits the power of government, notes the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights (USCCR), “to impede individuals from practicing their religious beliefs.” This and other such laments permeate a recent USCCR report that, writes WND.com, “made the stunning claim that the nation should codify into law the Obama administration’s longtime belief that Christians and others of faith can be forced to violate their beliefs to accommodate pro-homosexual or pro-transgender ‘nondiscrimination’ laws.” It’s all part of an effort to further empower a movement that has already led to the persecution of bakers, florists, photographers, calligraphers, and other businessmen who refused to service faux weddings.
Not surprisingly, many are aghast at the commission’s constitutional contempt.
What do you call people who use foreigners to win power? The hirers of mercenaries? In today’s political campaigns (a military term, interestingly), they’re called something else: statist public officials.
And they’re hard at work, an internal Obama administration e-mail shows, trying to turn as many foreigners as possible into citizens in time to vote in the November 8 election.
In the past, I've featured information about Hillary Clinton's health from Dr. Ted Noel, who theorizes that the Democratic presidential nominee suffers from Parkinson's disease. Here he is below in a new video, an interview, in which he analyzes what many have described as Clinton's strange and asymmetric eye movements, which have been witnessed only recently.
Whatever the reality is about Clinton's eyes, she is one very sick lady — and not just mentally and spiritually.
While speaking at the United Nations last Tuesday and advocating more Muslim migration into the West, Barack Obama likened a refusal to accept the Muslims to the “turning away [of] Jews fleeing Nazi Germany,” which he called “a stain on our collective conscience.” But while Obama sought to lecture us, he actually condemned himself.
One of the characteristics of our declining civilization is that, more and more, reality seems like satire. A good example is a recent New York Times article titled “From He to She in First Grade.” Yeah, you guessed it, this is about another boy allowed to masquerade as a girl, aided and abetted by parents and teachers who belong in rubber rooms.
Hillary Clinton’s 9/11 collapse has raised many eyebrows and worried many allies, but it has done more than that to an ex-Secret Service agent who used to protect the Clintons.
It “scares me,” he says.
Gary Byrne, who served in the Secret Service Uniform Division as an officer from 1991-2003 and authored the recent book Crisis of Character, explains, “Through the lens of my 29-year-career in The Service, I can see what a naked-eyed media pundit cannot: There is something seriously wrong with Mrs. Clinton.”
How "in the tank" for Hillary Clinton is the Lamestream Media? Bill Clinton recently blurted out in a CBS interview that Hillary "frequently" faints, but then caught himself and said "rarely." Of course, this had to be a mere slip of the tongue, and not a Freudian Slip, because, you know, "frequently" and "rarely" are so close in meaning. The audience never got to decide for themselves, however, what kind of Clinton slip was showing.
You see, CBS edited out the "frequently" because the media frequently engage in propaganda.
The video below contains Slick Willie's (although he's not so slick anymore) comments in their entirely.
I've been telling people for ages that Hillary Clinton is seriously ill. We have to wonder if she'll be fit for the debates with Donald Trump and if she'll actually make it to Election Day.
Where was the question of where Obama was born, born? That is now the question. And GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump has his own answer: “Hillary Clinton, and her campaign of 2008, started the Birther controversy,” he said at a Friday campaign event. “I finished it.”
This assertion has now been backed up by a reporter, too, with former McClatchy Washington Bureau Chief James Asher revealing that Clinton surrogate Sidney Blumenthal pitched the story to him in 2008.
Furthermore, even a former Clinton campaign head admits some involvement.
"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other," said John Adams in 1798. And an "any other" is certainly what we have today, as evidenced by Georgetown University students who, in anticipation of upcoming Constitution Day, were asked their feelings on the document. And the operative word really is "feelings" because these young dunderheads have neither facts nor sound philosophy.
The video at the bottom of this post presents the interviews with these young "scholars," but first read what The Washington Timeshas to say about the matter:
Campus Reform asked Georgetown students, who have an average SAT score of 1460 and a high school GPA of 4.01, what they thought of the document George Washington said he would “never abandon.” They overwhelmingly disagreed with the nation’s first president and Revolutionary War hero.
“People definitely take [the Constitution] too seriously, it’s not 250 years ago.”
“When it was written, we were considering things that absolutely don’t apply today.”
“I feel like sometimes people use the Constitution as an excuse to not think and to not work towards progress.”
“I come from North Carolina. There are a lot of people in that area who I think take the Constitution too seriously.”
“The Constitution itself and a lot of the amendments are probably taken a little bit too seriously.”
“Sometimes we’re afraid to think, I don’t know, in more utopian ways.”
“We have to keep updating like we would anything after, you know, like, the dictionary is updated once a week.”
Ironically, the nonprofit group’s video brings to mind a famous story about Ben Franklin being asked what form of government the delegates at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia agreed upon in 1787. His answer: “A republic, if you can keep it.”
Georgetown students were not shown giving specifics as to which limits on federal power are taken “too seriously,” if they knew the proper amendment process, or which aspects of the Bill of Rights “don’t apply today.”
Wow, the stupidity...it hurts. These are people who deserve tyranny. And, unless something radically changes our culture's trajectory, that's precisely what they're going to get.
