A Few Headlines

Cruz urges Senate to pass bill to make 'El Chapo,' drug lords pay for border wall
"By leveraging any criminally forfeited assets of El Chapo and other murderous drug lords, we can offset the cost of securing our border and make meaningful progress toward delivering on the promises made to the American people."

"The U.S. government is reportedly seeking $14 billion from Guzmán as part of its prosecution of the drug kingpin."

Seeking $14 billion, which means they ain't got it or have any guarantees of getting it. What a clown show. Here's a clue: you gutless congress critters simply forgo a few liquid lunches and fund the border wall out of this year's $3.2 TRILLION budget.

California loses border wall challenge at appeals court
"Appeals on Monday rejected arguments by the state of California and environmental groups who tried to block work that has mostly been completed near San Diego and Calexico.

The 2-1 opinion upheld a lower court decision that found the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 allows the Department of Homeland Security to avoid lengthy environmental reviews to speed construction of border barriers."

'Environmental groups' is just a fig leaf for the open border cabal; By any means necessary.

Trump job approval up 7 points after shutdown: Gallup
"The survey found that the president's approval rating jumped from 37 percent in mid-January during the heart of the shutdown to 44 percent in early February after he agreed to reopen the government.

The increase is largely attributable to more positive remarks among independents, pollsters found. That group's approval of Trump rose 6 percentage points from the January poll to the February poll, Gallup said."

It's been rumored that Trump could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and people would still re-elect him.

Afghanistan's young Lionel Messi fan is now a Taliban target
Good grief. Targeting for assassination a 7 year old boy because he likes soccer. Islam is a barbaric ideology. Afghanistan is a disaster of a country. What the hell are we still doing there after 18 years??

Tell The Social Justice Warrior Mobs To Go Pound Sand
"It’s called “Alinsky Rule No. 4,” pals. “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” Cue the sad trombone. Somewhere, Brett Kavanaugh is laughing into his Budweiser.

I know I am, except it’s Dos Equis.

But this hilarity does bring up something serious we need to consider on the conservative side. We need to prepare for the next time some Republican gets besieged by SJW witch-burners, and be ready with our response to their unwarranted demands for his/her/xir’s head.

Our response should be, “Go pound sand.”

Like I said, "Danger zone morality is in affect until further notice."
