monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

We don't deserve our national parks.

What the NYT believes Trump could learn from the shutdown. Who cares to read the bias crap thy push in opinion pieces? The Democrats are the ones who could learn something.

If you don’t want to be blamed for one, don’t say you’re going to own it. Mr. Trump sacrificed that option when he boasted how “proud” he’d be to grind the government to a halt.

The WP just said last week there was a crisis on the border.

The MSM did that.

You can't offer one counterargument!

Lindsey Graham is a constant disappointment.

Before joining President Donald Trump's administration, right-wing commentator Robert W. Patterson argued against contraceptives because “condom use robs” women of the “remarkable chemicals” in semen; said married women in the workplace have undermined society; and suggested that homosexuality is a mental disorder and sexual orientation can be forcibly changed.

I can't think of one candidate from a major party who ever called for limiting immigration based on race, religion, and nationality.

Trump's immigration order pales to Roosevelt's

The legislation Theodore signed into law prohibited the entry into the United States any person who was identified as an anarchist, had seizures, begs for food or money, or is a pimp. The actual language for the last part was "importers of prostitutes."

Sen. Chuck Schumer would still be crying in his milk.

Mecca’s Grand Mosque plagued by swarm of locusts

According to CNN, officials identified the locusts as migratory “black grasshoppers” and said that 22 teams consisting of 138 people were dispatched to deal with the infestation.

Think again.

To what, an opinion?

1. A failure to grasp how divided government works. The president somehow came to believe that he’d have more leverage once the Democrats took control of the House. Maybe someone convinced him that, after the transfer of power, he could shift blame for the impasse onto Speaker Nancy Pelosi — a favorite villain of Republicans. Or maybe he assumed that Pelosi & Company would fold in the face of the dysfunction and public outcry a shutdown would bring. Whatever the logic, Team Trump assumed Democrats would become more pliable, and a deal would emerge.

I see no mention 0f race, religion, or nationality. Roosevelt was screening for criminal behavior not discriminating on the basis of ethnicity.

Read again: "race, religion, nationality".

Maybe you could explain why Trump chose this path. Why don't you try to convince us that the long shutdown was precisely what Trump had in mind. You're not even trying.

And no religion was banned

"Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on," a campaign press release said.

No, because it would have been unconstitutional.

I can't think of one candidate from a major party who ever called for limiting immigration based on race, religion, and nationality.
