Remember – your greatest gift to President Trump is FIVE WORDS:
I AM PRAYING FOR YOU
However, awesome Chuck and Nancy memes will be accepted graciously.
See the January 1st daily thread for the rules of the road, which are few but important.
Today’s thread is dedicated to those goofy communists running the Democrat Party. May they never stop circling the drain at the bottom of their May Pole that goes STRAIGHT TO CHINA.
THE PRESIDENT: My fellow Americans: Tonight, I am speaking to you because there is a growing humanitarian and security crisis at our southern border.
Every day, Customs and Border Patrol agents encounter thousands of illegal immigrants trying to enter our country. We are out of space to hold them, and we have no way to promptly return them back home to their country.
America proudly welcomes millions of lawful immigrants who enrich our society and contribute to our nation. But all Americans are hurt by uncontrolled, illegal migration. It strains public resources and drives down jobs and wages. Among those hardest hit are African Americans and Hispanic Americans.
Our southern border is a pipeline for vast quantities of illegal drugs, including meth, heroin, cocaine, and fentanyl. Every week, 300 of our citizens are killed by heroin alone, 90 percent of which floods across from our southern border. More Americans will die from drugs this year than were killed in the entire Vietnam War.
In the last two years, ICE officers made 266,000 arrests of aliens with criminal records, including those charged or convicted of 100,000 assaults, 30,000 sex crimes, and 4,000 violent killings. Over the years, thousands of Americans have been brutally killed by those who illegally entered our country, and thousands more lives will be lost if we don’t act right now.
This is a humanitarian crisis — a crisis of the heart and a crisis of the soul.
Last month, 20,000 migrant children were illegally brought into the United States — a dramatic increase. These children are used as human pawns by vicious coyotes and ruthless gangs. One in three women are sexually assaulted on the dangerous trek up through Mexico. Women and children are the biggest victims, by far, of our broken system.
This is the tragic reality of illegal immigration on our southern border. This is the cycle of human suffering that I am determined to end.
My administration has presented Congress with a detailed proposal to secure the border and stop the criminal gangs, drug smugglers, and human traffickers. It’s a tremendous problem. Our proposal was developed by law enforcement professionals and border agents at the Department of Homeland Security. These are the resources they have requested to properly perform their mission and keep America safe. In fact, safer than ever before.
The proposal from Homeland Security includes cutting-edge technology for detecting drugs, weapons, illegal contraband, and many other things. We have requested more agents, immigration judges, and bed space to process the sharp rise in unlawful migration fueled by our very strong economy. Our plan also contains an urgent request for humanitarian assistance and medical support.
Furthermore, we have asked Congress to close border security loopholes so that illegal immigrant children can be safely and humanely returned back home.
Finally, as part of an overall approach to border security, law enforcement professionals have requested $5.7 billion for a physical barrier. At the request of Democrats, it will be a steel barrier rather than a concrete wall. This barrier is absolutely critical to border security. It’s also what our professionals at the border want and need. This is just common sense.
The border wall would very quickly pay for itself. The cost of illegal drugs exceeds $500 billion a year — vastly more than the $5.7 billion we have requested from Congress. The wall will also be paid for, indirectly, by the great new trade deal we have made with Mexico.
Senator Chuck Schumer — who you will be hearing from later tonight — has repeatedly supported a physical barrier in the past, along with many other Democrats. They changed their mind only after I was elected President.
Democrats in Congress have refused to acknowledge the crisis. And they have refused to provide our brave border agents with the tools they desperately need to protect our families and our nation.
The federal government remains shut down for one reason and one reason only: because Democrats will not fund border security.
My administration is doing everything in our power to help those impacted by the situation. But the only solution is for Democrats to pass a spending bill that defends our borders and re-opens the government.
This situation could be solved in a 45-minute meeting. I have invited Congressional leadership to the White House tomorrow to get this done. Hopefully, we can rise above partisan politics in order to support national security.
Some have suggested a barrier is immoral. Then why do wealthy politicians build walls, fences, and gates around their homes? They don’t build walls because they hate the people on the outside, but because they love the people on the inside. The only thing that is immoral is the politicians to do nothing and continue to allow more innocent people to be so horribly victimized.
America’s heart broke the day after Christmas when a young police officer in California was savagely murdered in cold blood by an illegal alien, who just came across the border. The life of an American hero was stolen by someone who had no right to be in our country.
Day after day, precious lives are cut short by those who have violated our borders. In California, an Air Force veteran was raped, murdered, and beaten to death with a hammer by an illegal alien with a long criminal history. In Georgia, an illegal alien was recently charged with murder for killing, beheading, and dismembering his neighbor. In Maryland, MS-13 gang members who arrived in the United States as unaccompanied minors were arrested and charged last year after viciously stabbing and beating a 16-year-old girl.
Over the last several years, I’ve met with dozens of families whose loved ones were stolen by illegal immigration. I’ve held the hands of the weeping mothers and embraced the grief-stricken fathers. So sad. So terrible. I will never forget the pain in their eyes, the tremble in their voices, and the sadness gripping their souls.
How much more American blood must we shed before Congress does its job?
To those who refuse to compromise in the name of border security, I would ask: Imagine if it was your child, your husband, or your wife whose life was so cruelly shattered and totally broken?
To every member of Congress: Pass a bill that ends this crisis.
To every citizen: Call Congress and tell them to finally, after all of these decades, secure our border.
This is a choice between right and wrong, justice and injustice. This is about whether we fulfill our sacred duty to the American citizens we serve.
When I took the Oath of Office, I swore to protect our country. And that is what I will always do, so help me God.
Thank you and goodnight.
END 9:11 P.M. EST
Yeah, Chuckles. 9:11
Yeah, I’d be speechless, too, if I knew that 5 billion for the WALL would cut off hundreds of billions in MONEY and POWER for Democrats, not to mention 10 or 20 billion from DRUGS sneaking toward the DNC and its allies by assorted routes.
Trump laid the groundwork for action. Very quietly, but very publicly, he COCKED THE GUN on the WALL.
And this gun fires GIANT STEEL POSTS INTO THE GROUND, BABY.

How many rounds will 5.7 billion dollars buy? Stood up from the GULF to the PACIFIC!
Why Shutdowns, Resignations, California Emergency Frauds and Cursing Communists Show that the Trump Doctrine of Assigned Responsibility is Coming Home to Roost in CONUS
OK, Snowflakes in the GOP. Time to MAN UP and put on your helmets.
Things are about to get REAL.
I have finally figured out what is going on. The totalitarian communist regimes in California and New York are about to get the KIM JONG UN TREATMENT.
Remember the TRUMP DOCTRINE?
Many different pundits and political “crustless cucumber sandwich” types have brought forth momentary takes on WHAT EXACTLY THAT IS, but only one person – SUNDANCE – who truly originated the term – ever got it right.
The whole idea centers on one term – accurately assigned ownership.
It is a very simple idea that any parent knows.
Those who make the trouble, take the trouble.
Sneaky foreign regimes like China, France and the Brennan CIA are forced to TAKE THE HEAT THAT THEY MAKE.
Remember the KHASHOGGI BOOMERANG?
Trump doesn’t just say “Curse you, villain!” He makes sure that consequences are redirected BACK onto whoever causes problems in the world.
And guess who that is, now?
Trump shortens the radius of the KARMA CURVE until the world’s bad actors hit THEMSELVES in the face.
OUCH, honey badger. OUCH.
Now, THERE WILL BE CASUALTIES on our side, as this EARLIER version of the CTH Trump Doctrine meme makes QUITE CLEAR:
If you can’t keep up with Jupiter, don’t complain when he leaves you behind in the cold and relatively uneventful parts of the solar system.
Rex Tillerson and General Mattis were both not quite able to keep up with Trump’s history-re-writing updates to war-fighting doctrines. Which, quite honestly, are merely keepin’ up with the Joneses relative to both China and Russia.
Barely keepin’ up, if you really want to be honest about it. The mixed social-cultural-economic-diplomatic-military war-fighting doctrine of China should have been confronted by NIXON, who immediately acquiesced instead, unable to see what was happening to him. Only TRUMP is finally getting it.
Tillerson could not get past the idea that our own State Department was an agency of tolerating, coddling, and even CREATING problems. Without taking effective control, Rex could not make State do the will of Trump.
Mattis was supposedly (this is just rumor) opposed to both the creation of a Space Force AND the use of the American military to build a Border Wall. The Syrian pull-out was, in essence, an EXCUSE created for him to bail on projects he REALLY didn’t want to do.
While I love General Mattis, I have to say, if the rumor is true that he opposed THE WALL, then I can stop right there and say goodbye. It is clear to me that our VSGPOTUS has a more proper historic view of the military, knowing that CHINA discovered the military utility of a properly constructed wall centuries ago. If you’re not mining history for the best in new military solutions, you’re simply not keeping up.
It’s actually interesting to see that Trump has ALREADY been bringing home the karma.
At first, it looks like this Evil HuffPo take on the Trump Doctrine is just another leftist distortion, but look closer, and you will see that the author has actually discovered a very profound truth about the Trump Doctrine.
The Trump Doctrine even works back in time.
Obama may be “in the past”, but the Trump Doctrine still operates. Everything that Obama did caused trouble in the future, so more and more of his communist misdeeds have been not only correctly assigned to him, but corrected, thereby wiping out Obama’s legacy of sabotage. Unable to resist the Trump Doctrine, due to having been Alinsky-frozen in time, Obama acquiesces to every one of Trump’s demands.
See how that works? It’s BEAUTIFUL. The Trump Doctrine has symmetries that NOBODY except TRUMP realized.
Get ready, America. This is going to be one of the coolest fights you’ve ever witnessed.
