Mexican authorities stop caravan No. 5; US plans asylum policy change

What was the payoff for failing to stop the others???

Mexican authorities stop caravan No. 5; US plans asylum policy change

"A fifth caravan of Central American migrants was stopped in its tracks yesterday by immigration agents and Federal Police after illegally crossing Mexico’s southern border.

A group of more than 300 people, mostly from El Salvador, arrived in the Guatemala border town of Tecún Umán earlier this week and yesterday morning waded across the Suchiate river to begin the long journey through Mexico to the United States border.

But the migrants only made it as far as Metapa, a town 18 kilometers north of the border, before they were intercepted by National Immigration Institute (INM) agents and anti-riot police. ...."

How Can We Miss Him When He Won't Go Away?

Gosh he really needs his teleprompter, or without it are we're seeing the real obama who had his finger on the nuke button for 8 years? Sounds to me like he needs to go into rehab.


HOW CAN WE MISS HIM WHEN HE WON’T GO AWAY?

"... In the video we can observe the hauteur and condescension that we came to loathe about Obama. He combines unearned technocratic arrogance with the will to power. He thinks we didn’t get enough of it during the eight-year reign during which he lectured us at regular intervals to demonstrate his superiority and put us in our place. The otherwise mysterious reference to “mommy issues” that John notes adds an obvious element of projection to this incredibly offensive display."

"Iran Had Secret Plans to Build Five Nuclear Warheads

You decide. I wonder if money obama transferred to them without approval of congress was to pay for it?

"Iran Had Secret Plans to Build Five Nuclear Warheads

"New report stirring Iran hawks on Capitol Hill, Trump administration

A new bombshell report based on a secret trove of seized Iranian nuclear documents shows the Islamic Republic had concrete plans to manufacture and build at least five nuclear weapons and that it was much further along in this scheme than previously known by the international community.

Iran's contested nuclear weapons program was much further along than the international community thought, according to a report based on scores of secret Iranian plans seized by Israel and publicly disclosed for the first time earlier this year......"

White House approves use of force, some law enforcement roles for border troops

From what I've read it's normal for illegals to throw rocks at border patrol, so reason follows they would take the same action against our troops. There have been reports that there are many military age men in the group, some carrying firearms. 

I'm glad to see our troops can use force if credible threat presents itself instead of being overrun by force.

House GOP 'Working With Whistleblowers' In Clinton Foundation Probe

"House Republicans will hear testimony on December 5 from the prosecutor appointed by Attorney General Jeff Sessions to investigate allegations of wrongdoing by the Clinton Foundation, according to Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC).

Meadows - chairman of the House Oversight Subcommittee on Government Operations, told The Hill that it's time to "circle back" to former Utah Attorney General John Huber's probe with the Justice Department into whether the Clinton Foundation engaged in improper activities, reports The Hill.

"Mr. [John] Huber with the Department of Justice and the FBI has been having an investigation – at least part of his task was to look at the Clinton Foundation and what may or may not have happened as it relates to improper activity with that charitable foundation, so we’ve set a hearing date for December the 5th.," Meadows told Hill.TV on Wednesday. ...."

U.S. Military Hardens Border Security – Mexico Begins Recognizing Consequences...

I guess Mexico has been lulled into complacency by 50 years or more of lax border security, especially by the spineless feckless eight years under obama. Guess they though they could mow President Trump flat and the revolving door would continue. Reality bites hard.

Now military age men are ones seeking asylum? I feel for Mexican citizens but not for the government officials who could have handled it before it got this bad. I wonder what the payoff was to order a stand down?

U.S. Military Hardens Border Security – Mexico Begins Recognizing Consequences…

"History is full of examples of what happens when illegal migration patterns are halted. We only need to look toward Tunisia, Libya and Morocco for recent examples. As the Central American migration horde begins to bottleneck within northern Mexico, it is likely President-elect Lopez-Obrador is beginning to evaluate those prior consequences.

President Trump took pro-active steps to harden the U.S. border through the deployment of U.S. military, and specifically through Corps of Engineers working in concert with U.S. Customs and Border Patrol to make illegal entry into the U.S. far more difficult.

As an outcome, the mass influx of Central American travelers is backing-up in Tijuana Mexico; and this mass collection of people -mostly military aged males- will almost certainly continue for the next six months. It did not take long for Tijuana Mayor Juan Manuel Gastelum to see the impact to his town. Local protests began within days of the first several thousand arriving. Things will likely not end well unless active steps are taken soon to turn around the migrants. ..."

Jim Acosta Breaks Silence, Says His Career Is Done

Coulda stuck a fork in him a long time ago imho. I've been impressed by his demeanor and conduct that he's a rude activist not someone trying to find out news he can report.

Swan song, poor dear. He'll eventually recover from his butthurt when he grows up.

Jim Acosta Breaks Silence, Says His Career Is Done

“I have always endeavored to conduct myself as a diligent but respectful reporter who asks probing but fair questions,” Acosta wrote.

“The revocation of my White House press credential not only destroys my ability to perform my current job, it will follow me for the rest of my career. My reputation and my future career prospects have all been significantly harmed if not completely devastated.”

Acosta wrote that he and his family have had to take “additional security measures” after receiving death threats “regularly, aimed at my work covering the President.” ...."
