UPDATE: As I expected the CR went down in flames.  5 Dems defected and voted for the CR.  Good for them.  Whose fault is the failure?  Even the New York Times is reporting,

“Seeking Concessions, Democrats Block Bill to Fund Government“

The US Senate is about to vote on a Continuing Resolution budget to keep the government running for yet another “short term”. Our esteemed lawmakers know that they cannot obtain 60 votes in the senate to pass a “full” budget. This is mostly because the Democrats want the leverage of shutting down the United States to bully ALL OF US to get their left-leaning agenda into law.

The above mentioned resolution is expected to FAIL in just a few hours and a government shutdown plan will need to be executed.
What are the Democrats willing to shut down when they shutdown the United States? Here’s one.

Hold hostage 6 years of funding for these kid.

These 8.9 million kids are part of the Children’s Health Insurance Program, CHIP.  What do they expect to achieve?

Change the status for these “no longer” kids.

The “no longer” kids, most of them are now adults, are the DACA recipient class of illegal immigrants that President Obama created by an Constitutionally illegal Executive Order. This whole DACA flap has nothing to do with the BUDGET. It’s all about POLITICAL leverage. Again, the Democrats want a change in immigration law, as part of a short term budget resolution, and to get their way they are willing to hold the United States HOSTAGE.

8.9 million children who are UNITED STATES CITIZENS are held hostage for a change in status for 800,000 ILLEGAL immigrants.

And that’s not all who are HELD HOSTAGE.  Those in the military will need to continue defending our freedoms WITHOUT PAY.  The Border Patrol Agents will be securing our borders from terrorists and drug cartels WITHOUT PAY.

And guess who still gets paid if the government shuts down?  ALL MEMBERS OF CONGRESS STILL GET PAID!  The bastards that crash the government still get their paychecks.  Pretty neat trick.

Again, ALL of this is about the LEFT trying to leverage PAIN ON ALL OF US to get their “progressive” agenda into the law of the land.  It has nothing to do with what is good for you and me.

To be clear on my position, we need to find a solution to the DACA fiasco created by President Obama, because right or wrong, our government (one stupid leader) created the problem.  The people in the DACA class are here illegally, but they did not create this mess in government.  We also need to fix our BROKEN immigration system and then ENFORCE THE LAW OF THE LAND.

You can probably tell from the title what I’m going to write about today.

“Shit hole”.  “The President said a naughty word!”

This whole fake controversy and fake outrage over what President Trump MAY or MAY NOT have said is absurd. The lunatic left will jump on anything they can to disparage the President.

First, Dick Durbin is the knucklehead that tattled to the press, after a CLOSED DOOR meeting, that President Trump MAY have called some shit hole third world COUNTRIES (not people), shit holes. Remember Dick Durbin has previously lied and made up stories about what people have said in his checkered past. Durbin called out a “Republican” who Durbin claims, supposedly said to President Obama’s face that he (the racist Repulican) “couldn’t even stand to look at him”. Turns out this event was just fiction in Durbin’s pea sized brain. The great American Durbin has also equated the members of our military to a bunch of Nazis. Makes Durbin a pretty reputable source, at least to the left

Second, Durbin is acting like a second grader in my book. “Teacher, Donald said ‘shit hole'”.  What an F’in weenie.  I can’t believe that knuckleheads like this actually make the laws in this great country.  Once again, the lefties will use anything they can to try to bring down the President.  Their favorite card to play is of course the race card.

Which bring me to point Three, Since when did the expression shit hole become a racist word? Every day, I find out that more and more of the English language is racist.  I’ve heard lots of people use the term and never once have I considered it racist. I had the director at a company I worked for, walk into my office once and say, “Lots of great ideas come out of this shit hole.” He called it that because my office has always looked like a tornado just hit. I took it as my office was “messed up“.  My boss was white and I’m of Asian ancestry, but I’ve never considered what he said as racist. I found it humorous.  It aptly described my work methodology. Now that I’ve become educated by CNN and MSNBC in Social Justice Speak, I can apply the Lefty Logic and conclude that my boss must have been saying my office looks like a black guy owns it.  That’s the only conclusion I can come to IF shit hole is a racist term deriding Haitian and African PEOPLE and doesn’t refer to “messed up” COUNTRIES with failed governments.  More fake outrage by the fake news bobble-heads. Maybe our President could have used a more accurate description. “Economically fucked up third-world cesspools which may be harboring terrorists“.  I can’t believe that all of the brain power on the left cannot distinguish between PEOPLE and FAILED STATES.  It has nothing to do with skin color.  Of course perhaps this outrage demonstrates the grand total of the left’s brain power.

All of this shit storm is base upon the unverified tattling of a known liar and hater of America, fueled by the fake outrage of the fake news mass media.  The term, even if was used, is  NOT racist.

This mock outrage by the lunatic left misses the bigger point that the President was making. And that is, why are we using a lottery to give visas and green cards to people from failed states, i.e. shit hole countries, with no regard as to whether or not the people randomly chosen benefit our country? Don’t forget we already had one of these upstanding green card holding Diversity Visa Lottery winners kill 8 and injure 11 people in New York City by running them over with a truck, thanks to the existing wonderful immigration system.  This diversity added maniac killed these people just a few months ago in October 2017, but this FACT is ignored by the fake new media.  Several more upstanding members of the Diversity Visa Lottery system have also been identified as terrorist in our country.  Ah what’s a few more Americans dead if we can import thousands of future Democrat voters and fast track them to citizenship. Cost benefit ratio if you’re a Lefty.

How about this fun fact.  In 2004 the State Department warned that the Diversity Visa Lottery poses a,  “significant threats to national security as hostile intelligence officers, criminals, and terrorists attempt to use it” to get into the US.

When it comes to stopping the Diversity Visa Lottery, I say  # METOO !!!
