Trump still has options in dealing with the immigration issue.
Under the Insurrection Act of 1807, the president has the authority to use the National Guard and military in order to combat “unlawful obstruction or rebellion” within U.S. borders. The act was last invoked in 1992 by George H.W. Bush to quell the Los Angeles riots, and was also used by Eisenhower in 1957 to enforce school desegregation in the south.
An official expressed concerns that Trump’s use of the act’s powers would face legal challenges, pointing to the lawsuits against the president’s travel ban from majority-Muslim countries. However, as the official noted, the travel ban ultimately prevailed in the Supreme Court.
In addition to the Insurrection Act, the president is also considering declaring the country full and insisting that the U.S. can no longer handle the massive influx of illegal immigrants. 2019 is currently on pace to reach the highest levels of illegal immigration in a decade.
“If you take a ship and it holds 1,000 people maximum — one more person and the ship is going to collapse,” the official explained. “The country is full.”
“Our hospitals are full, our detention centers are full,” they added.
ICE facilities were forced to release 100,000 illegal immigrants in the first three months of 2019 because of overcrowding in detention centers. (RELATED: Overwhelmed ICE Facilities Forced To Release Illegals)
Separately, the president unveiled a new immigration plan Thursday that focuses on border security and merit-based legal immigration. The plan, which was co-authored by top aides Jared Kushner and Stephen Miller, would increase the proportion of visas granted to highly-skilled immigrants and also establish a self-sustaining border security fund.

As Congress begins debating the Equality Act, the Heritage Foundation warns that if the bill becomes law it will prove the death knell for women’s sports.
The House is voting on the Equality Act (H.R. 5) this week which, in the words of Duke Professor Doriane Lambelet Coleman, “will be the end of girl’s and women’s only sports,” Heritage reported.General Flynn fipps on Trump or did he?

Alabama passes anti-abortion bill. What happens next?
Alabama passes an anti-abortion bill. What happens next? If the 1990s are an example, there will be mass hysteria on the Left, death threats against anyone who opposes the killing of the unborn, and open rebellion. That is what was threatened the last time abortion was threatened. This time, it is not just Alabama. Its law is the harshest, but there are more than 20 states considering "heartbeat bills" and the majority of Millennials hate abortion.
So yes, there will be violence. It is what the Left does.

The Hill gives us this story that proves the bias of the FBI in the early days of its "investigation."
The Hill: If ever there were an admission that taints the FBI’s

official.
Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec’s writtenaccount of her Oct. 11, 2016, meeting with FBI informant Christopher Steele shows the Hillary Clinton campaign-funded British intelligence operative admitted that his research was political and facing an Election Day deadline.
And that confession occurred 10 days before the FBI used Steele’s now-discredited

Bloomberg noted, “When Trump makes additional appointments for vacancies that will be left by two judges who recently announced their retirements, Dennis Jacobs and Christopher Droney, the 13-member court will be majority Republican-appointed.”

In light of this, the fired former FBI director apparently has decided that photos of him on Twitter standing amid tall trees and in the middle of empty country roads, acting all metaphysical, is no longer a sufficient strategy.
No, Comey has realized, probably too late, that

Why McGahn need not testify to the House Committee.

There is no need for McGahn to testify again.
Ken Starr and Trey Gowdy openly critical of Mueller in their appearacne on The Story.
Former special prosecutor Ken Starr called special counsel Robert Mueller’s letter to Attorney General William Barr an “unfair whiny complaint,” during his Monday appearance on “The Story With Martha MacCallum.”
Mueller wrote a letter to Barr in March, alleging that Barr’s four-page summary of the Mueller report “did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance of this office’s work and conclusions,” before adding that, “There is now public confusion about critical aspects of the results of our investigation.”
“Interms of what you said earlier, Ken Starr, I want to ask you about — you said Bob Mueller deserves the sharpest criticism for sandbagging Bill Barr. What do you think about that?” MacCallum asked.

Another preposterous UN report on climate change:

The Dems are in their "silly season."
The House Judiciary Committee issued a report citing Attorney
General William Barr for contempt over a panel subpoena seeking Special Counsel Robert Mueller's full un-redacted report.
Here is the problem, the redated portions of the Mueller Report. Vol II, totals less than 1% of the report. There is NOTHING in the report that has been hidden from the Democrat congress. There is nothing in the report that can be changed without a court order. Consequently, there is nothing leading to "contempt" that can be charged to AG Barr.

This is not an honest attempt for justice but raher a sympthetic tactic used to ban guns, in a practical/legal sense of the world.
The Connecticut Supreme Court granted gun-maker Bushmaster Firearms a stay in the Sandy Hook victims’ lawsuit, as the manufacturer readies its appeal to the nation’s highest judicial tribunal. Bushmaster produced the XM15 rifle shooter Adam Lanza used to kill 26 people at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, in December 2012.
Should the appeal be granted, the case would not be heard until 2020.
The Left simply does not care about logic or what is obviously right. Guns [still] don't kill anyone; people do . . . and that is an inescapable truth. When guns are taken away, you have the Hollacost or Venezuela or Cuba or . . . . .
Until guns are successsfully taken from evil people, the righteous must have the right of possession . . . . period.

Trump our-shines Obama's performance on the economy.
President Trump’s approval rating on the economy has soared to an all-time high, according to a CNN poll released on Thursday.
In thesurvey , 56 percent said they approve of the way Trump in handling of the economy, compared with 41 percent who disapproved. Trump has consistently been in the mid-40s and low 50s throughout his term, but the 56 percent rating is a new high.
“Here’s is the Trump card for the president: 56 percent of Americans approve how he’s handling the economy,” gushed CNN’s political director David Chalian in a report about the poll. “This is the highest number we’ve ever seen in CNN polling. … That 56 percent, if you stack it up historically, it’s the high-water mark in the entirety of the Trump presidency in CNN polling.

Trump goes after Obama ally.
President Trump considers designating Muslim Brotherhood as a terror group.
The Brotherhood maintained a six man presence in the Obama WH. When taking over Egypt and holding 9 Americans hostage, Obama paid the Brotherhood 5 million dollars for their release. Never forget. They called it a "bail bond" but the money was never recovered. It was ransom money, plain and simple.
To hear CNN talk, Mueller is on a rampage. They say Mueller said that Barr misappropreated his concluding points in the report. Actually, here is what Mueller actually said:
From the Wa/Post we have this:
"When Barr pressed him whether he thought Barr's letter was inaccurate, Mueller said he did not [think so], but felt that the media coverage of the letter was misinterpreting the investigation [outcome]
I wonder how many times this gets misreported.
Update: Turns out that this Wa/Post headline was/is a lie. The truth is above:
