This is quite stunning even for a politician as low as Ted Cruz.  Senator Cruz has a prime opportunity to highlight the intolerance of the left.  Instead he choses to attack Donald Trump:

At a media availability in Chicago, Ted Cruz basically blamed Donald Trump for the violence and protests that occurred earlier in the day at a Donald Trump rally at the University of Illinois-Chicago. The rally had to be cancelled due to safety concerns (link)

Yes, Ted Cruz advocates the political equivalent of her skirt was too short, and she deserved to be raped for it.

Ted Cruz is such a self-serving, self-righteous opportunist that he just doesn't even know when he's making a fool of himself.

But Senator Ted Cruz wasn’t alone taking the opportunity to blame Donald Trump and praise the behavior of leftists, MoveOn.Org, Black Lives Matter, F**k The Police, Occupy Wall Street and professional Anarchists.

Fox News pundits, led by Megyn Kelly, were quick with the narrative to pile on, claiming Donald Trump should reasonably accept the United States no longer allows freedom of association, and free speech should be curtailed in favor of inclusive, more politically sensitive, speech.

“Released after an ICE error”? – Five people were killed by a man named Pablo Serrano-Vitorino.  Most of the media have refused to identify Vitorino as an illegal alien with repeat deportations.

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Mo. — After a massive manhunt, Pablo Antonio Serrano-Vitorino, suspected of four Kansas City, Kan., murders and another one in New Florence, Mo., was found in Montgomery County and taken into custody early Wednesday morning.  Montgomery County is located between Columbia and St. Louis.

“Released after ICE error”  ?

Serrano-Vitorino, 40, has been charged with four counts of first degree murder in Wyandotte County for allegedly shooting four men in KCK late Monday night. The victims are Clint Harter, Austin Harter, Mike Capps and Jake Waters. They were all killed at a home in the 3000 block of South 36th Street around 11 p.m., Monday.   (more…)

The word “accidentally” has to be used in the headline because while Vitter’s bill doesn’t specifically mention the southern border security wall, the intent of the revenue is to provide border security measures.

As far as we can tell only our analysis of the potential Mexican remittance fees have outlined the very plausible way to pay for the Mexican border wall.  However, Louisiana Senator David Vitter has now presented a bill targeting the transfer of U.S. funds out of the country by illegal aliens.

Vitter has penned an Op-Ed in the Washington Times which includes two Governmental Accounting office reports – One HERE – and – Another HERE – which show the volume of removed revenue, remittances, as calculated/described by the GAO.

Representative Vitter explains his proposal thusly: (more…)

During the debate last night Senator Ted Cruz was asked a direct question by Megyn Kelly about why didn’t Senator Jeff Sessions endorse him.  Cruz artfully avoided answering and instead deflecting his response  to falsely accuse Donald Trump of sending Hillary Clinton four campaign contributions in 2008.

Senator Cruz never answered the question.

So why doesn’t Senator Jeff Sessions support Ted Cruz?  The answer is within this video:

Well, it’s game over.  When it comes to the Southern Border Wall, Donald Trump has officially won the argument; the rest is just details.

This is what winning looks like folks!

Why do we say this?  Because what’s not written in this story is the Mexican political leadership arguing about the viability of the Southern Security Wall being built.  They have conceded the most important aspect.

The argument has moved beyond ‘will the wall be built’, and now is focusing on ‘who is going to pay for it‘.  The media will skip noticing that little nuance.

In an interview Thursday with Jorge Ramos on Fusion, former Mexican president Vicente Fox responds to Donald Trump’s plan to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexican border.

“I’m not going to pay for that fucking wall! He should pay for it. He’s got the money,” Fox said. (read more)

Marcobot, the heavily scripted robotic candidate and current favorite of the professional political class, had another malfunction last night during the Bill O’Reilly interview.  Mr. O’Reilly asked if presidential candidate Marco Rubio was willing to deport the illegal aliens, or those who overstay their visas’, and stay in the U.S. illegally.

Watch:

Fox owner, Mr. Rupert Murdoch, will not be happy.  Neither will Fox’s Political News Executive, Bill Sammon.  His daughter is Marco Rubio’s press secretary.

As predicted The Vatican is now in full clean-up mode after Pope Francis made alarmingly political comments about Donald Trump and questioning his “Christianity”.

However, the remarkable twist today is not found in the walk-back or clean-up per se, but rather in the severity of the papal retreat.  The spokesman for Pope Francis now claiming the Pope’s comments were based on “what he was told” about Donald Trump.  

To understand how much backlash the Vatican has received in Italy and the larger EU, we only need to look at how far back they are pulling the words.  Quite remarkable headline text below via U.K Daily Mail: 

(Via Daily Mail)  The Vatican today executed a speedy climb-down in its feud with Donald Trump – handing the Republican White House hopeful a major political victory. (more…)

The latest insufferable corporate media meme is to reshape current events and proclaim Pope Francis was not talking about candidate Donald J Trump today.

In an effort to dismiss Trump’s eloquent response (defense of his position), and in an exhaustive effort to protect the embarrassment of the Marxist papacy the leftist media adore, those media entities are now claiming Donald Trump projected himself into the comments.

Thankfully Reverend Franklin Graham articulates all that is wrong in the day’s events.

[Via Franklin Graham FB] “The Pope has suggested that Donald J. Trump is not Christian because he wants to build a wall between the U.S. and Mexico. He said, “A person who thinks only about building walls wherever they may be and not building bridges is not Christian.”

“I agree that as Christians we should try to build bridges with everyone that we possibly can, but that doesn’t mean that we should compromise our national security”.

Friends, this is so unprecedented and so unbelievable we had to insure accuracy with direct sourcing for context, via exact quotes, and comprehension, via video of events.

For the vicar of Christ, Pope Francis, to say another man “is not Christian” entirely because the pope disagrees with a specific point of political opinion – is unprecedented in historic Catholicism, Christianity and ancient-to-modern expressions of faith.

It is almost certain the Vatican will try to clean up this political mess with intense urgency [opinion follows content].  The Pope was asked the following question by a Reuters reporter, Phil Pullella:

Phil Pullella, Reuters: Today, you spoke very eloquently about the problems of immigration. On the other side of the border, there is a very tough electoral battle. One of the candidates for the White House, Republican Donald Trump, in an interview recently said that you are a political man and he even said that you are a pawn, an instrument of the Mexican government for migration politics.

Trump said that if he’s elected, he wants to build 2,500 kilometers of wall along the border. He wants to deport 11 million illegal immigrants, separating families, etcetera. I would like to ask you, what do you think of these accusations against you and if a North American Catholic can vote for a person like this? (citation link)

Here is the exact response by Pope Francis today: (more…)

Six months ago every talking head on TV and print media was decrying the Trump proposal to build a border wall as impossible hyperbole.   It is amazing just how far the conversation has turned.

Yesterday CNN ran a segment on how the border wall would possibly be constructed, what materials would be used, and how much it would potentially cost.

However, what CNN apparently missed was a December explanation where candidate Donald Trump actually explained exactly what products would be used to build the Southern Border Wall. (more…)
