Awound the Web

ONT: "I believe in immigration reform. What if I persuaded my caucus to say I’m going to shut the government down, I’m going to not pay our bills unless I get my way? It’s a politics of idiocy, of confrontation, of paralysis.”Sen. Charles Schumer (Hypocrite-New York)

Don Surber: Democrats end shutdown -- Republicans cut taxes another $31 billion

Daniel Greenfield: The Schumer Shutdown Puts Illegals Over Americans

"Democrats don’t care about illegal aliens out of the goodness of their crooked hearts. If the average illegal alien crossing the border were Republican, the wall would be up yesterday. And it would be topped with heavy artillery and surrounded by a moat filled with piranhas and crocodiles. Drones would fire Hellfire missiles at anyone even looking at it the wrong way because he might be a Republican.
That’s the shameful, disgusting truth.
Is there anything that the Democrats care more about than exploiting illegal aliens for political power?".......


Daniel McCarthy: The problem with America is not Donald Trump
"Something has gone horribly wrong in America, but it isn’t Donald Trump. The 45th president’s first year has in fact been a very good year for the country. ...

Trump’s domestic record is superb, and in foreign policy he has yet to repeat the follies of his predecessors, though the task of reorienting American strategy—away from hegemonism and delusions of global policing—of necessity proceeds at a painfully slow pace.
Similarly slow is the pace of changing other politicians’ minds about infrastructure and industrial policy. Trump understands the need for greater investment in infrastructure, and the sheer insanity of the United States attempting ‘nation building’ abroad while roads, bridges, and schools fall to pieces at home was one of Trump’s most effective themes on the campaign trail. Trump likewise knows better than the lifelong politicians in both parties that American workers suffer as a result of being abandoned by their government while other countries practice open or covert economic nationalism. Yet very little will happen on either of these fronts until Republican politicians in Congress and the states wise up. Donald Trump is only the beginning of a populist retrenchment, one that faces great adversity from a well-entrenched globalist political class.
And that, rather than anything to do with Trump’s presidency, is what has gone horribly wrong in America. The broader ruling class in the country, the wealthy and politically connected, the best educated and most widely heard, have abandoned their countrymen. The very concept of citizenship, to say nothing of placing one’s fellow citizens above those whose loyalties are to other states and cultures, has fallen out of vogue among America’s most privileged. The nation and the citizen have been the core of Donald Trump’s appeal-the common denominator in his emphasis on immigration, jobs, industry, and America First in foreign policy—yet even within his own party, the globalist ideology of the 1990s staggers on. This, and not Donald Trump’s temperament or tweets, is the real menace to the country: an elite that has lost the trust of the people because the people knows what the elite will not admit—namely, that it despises them.".......


Free Beacon: State Department Spending $592,500 to ‘Explore Gender Identities of Boys and Men in Kenya Taxpayer-funded study blames terrorism on 'ideals of masculinity'

592,500 dollars.

That could have bought a water treatment plant or a new ambulance or much-needed guardrails for a lot of small towns in America. Even if you wanted to spend it in Kenya, it could have built dozens of fresh-water wells for the people there. Instead, it is pissed away by State Department ideologues who want to blame terrorism on masculinity rather than Islamic Supremacism. The only real area of study is whether they are trying to fool you or just themselves.

Besides, we already had a very expensive study in Exploring Gender Identities of Boys and Men in Kenya.

It was called "the Obama Administration".
