Thousands of Migrants Crossing Remote Section of New Mexico Border
Thousands of Migrants Crossing Remote Section of New Mexico Border:
El Paso Sector Border Patrol officials report that at least 2,500 migrants illegally crossed the border along a small section of the New Mexico Border. The migrants crossed the border this fiscal year as part of large groups of Central American families and unaccompanied minors near the Antelope Wells Port of Entry.
In an area that normally only sees a few hundred illegal border crossings per year, El Paso Sector officials reported that 25 large groups of migrants crossed the border near the Antelope Wells Port of Entry in the first few months of Fiscal Year 2019.

"...Second Weasel Atrocity: Republican leaders in the House of Representatives just removed congressman Steve King from his posts on the House Judiciary Committee and the House Agricultural Committee.
...In the Senate, at the same time, GOP Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told Rep. King to "find another line of work," while Mitt Romney told King he should resign his seat.
This all followed a single remark Steve King allegedly made in a January 10th interview with the New York Times:

White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization—how did that language become offensive?[Before Trump, Steve King Set the Agenda for the Wall and Anti-Immigrant Politics, By Trip Gabriel, NYT, January 10, 2019]
Steve King insists that the last six words ("how did that language become offensive?") applied only to the previous two, "Western civilization."
The way the New York Times punctuated it, though, it looked as if they covered "white nationalist" and "white supremacist" as well.
Incredibly, and significantly, it appears that no recording exists..."

ROGER KIMBALL: Radical evil, and the online lynching of a kid from Kentucky.
Will journalists apologize if their portrayal of the Covington students vs Indian Elder incident turns out to have been wildly wrong?
Total non-sequitur of a question.
When is the DNC-MSM ever wrong?
UPDATE (FROM GLENN): When do they ever apologize? (Except to offended lefties, that is).
But some better people are apologizing:
Maybe the reason journalists assume that James O’Keefe’s videos are deceptively edited is that deceptive editing is the ordinary course of business for them.
ANOTHER UPDATE (FROM GLENN): More good people apologize:
This guy hasn’t apologized yet, though. People on the right need to be more skeptical of this kind of thing, rather than rushing to jump on the “we’re better than that” (by which they really mean “I’m better than that”) bandwagon. Lefties rely on that to give momentum to their hit pieces. Instead, hold back and wait for facts to develop. Often — possibly more often than not — the facts will show things to be different than they first appeared.
MORE (FROM GLENN):
Also, I see that NRO’s big dump on the Covington boys now returns a Page Not Found. Why doesn’t it return an apology for jumping the gun?
Or maybe it should just go to this Kyle Smith piece: Nathan Phillips Lied. The Media Bought It. Including NRO. But the media didn’t just buy it. They were co-conspirators.
Plus, from the comments: “Anyone who thinks these recent attacks on these Catholic boys and on the Knights of Columbus aren’t geared to the next Supreme Court opening is kidding themselves.”
Stand up to bigotry: Support Amy Coney Barrett!
Also from the comments: “Amazing that this story occurred just 24 hrs after the BuzzFeed/Cohen fiasco with its obligatory non-stop MSM impeach-o-rama. Gellman amnesia at its finest. And when you see the Catholic hierarchy rush to throw these innocent kids to the wolves, you begin to understand the dimensions & persistence of the Church’s pedophile crisis. They are not the faithful & reliable stewards of our children they claim to be. CYA & justice.”
NRO needs a full, sincere apology here, and better behavior in the future. I mean, otherwise what do they bring to the table? CNN will already call people on the right bigots for free. NRO piled on the people they should have been protecting, out of a cowardly reflex to assume the worst and isolate the people the media were attacking. They should have looked into the story first, rather than relying on the word of people they should have known were untrustworthy. It was just two days ago that CNN was hyping the Buzzfeed “scoop.” Gateway Pundit is all over this story — and more creditably than NRO.
MORE STILL (FROM GLENN): An Apology From Rich Lowry of NRO: “I deleted my original tweet and we also took down a strongly worded post by my colleague Nick Frankovich that relied on the incomplete video. It’s another reminder — even for an old hand like me — that it’s best not to make snap judgments and to wait for all sides of a controversy to have a chance to be heard.”
You can’t trust what the likes of CNN and Buzzfeed say about people on the right. You absolutely need to do your own due diligence before piling on.
And for the record, here’s the archive version of the now-deleted NRO piece by Nicholas Frankovich The Covington Students Might as Well Have Just Spit on the Cross.

Newt Gingrich: FBI, media give Feinstein a pass for her spy scandal, but attack Trump with no justification | Fox News
Newt Gingrich: FBI, media give Feinstein a pass for her spy scandal, but attack Trump with no justification | Fox News:
Consider the FBI’s multilayered attack on Trump compared to its dramatically different treatment of Feinstein after the bureau concluded that her driver and San Francisco office staffer of 20 years had been spying for the Chinese government.
The spying involving Feinstein wasn’t reported by any news media organizations for five years –which meant the FBI didn’t feel the need to leak it. Even when this security breach was reported, it was only mentioned in passing by Politico Magazine in a story published last July 27 about extensive Chinese-espionage in Silicon Valley.

...Now we have the truly outrageous, horrible story of what Kant called radical evil.
A white, male, Catholic teen who had been to the pro-life march and was wearing a MAGA hat smirked at an Indian Elder who was beating a drum in his face while clad in Native garb (but white Western eyeglasses).
It took place near the Lincoln Memorial Friday just after the pro-life March.
Videos of the horrible event went viral.
Videos of the horrible event went viral.
The Washington Post, natch, made it all about President Trump.
The episode, they skirled, ‘has heaped fuel on a long-running, intense argument among abortion opponents as to whether the close affiliation of many antiabortion leaders with President Trump since he took office has led to moral decay that harms the movement.’
Huh?
Meanwhile, the boy’s high school has issued a statement of apology to the Indian Elder, Nathan Phillips, and to ‘Native Americans in general,’ whatever that means.
So far, the smirking teen has not been identified.
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Covington apologized after videos emerged showing students from an all-male Catholic high school mocking Native Americans outside the Lincoln Memorial.

Meanwhile, the boy’s high school has issued a statement of apology to the Indian Elder, Nathan Phillips, and to ‘Native Americans in general,’ whatever that means.
So far, the smirking teen has not been identified.
Doubtless he will be.
And he is in big trouble.
If the Twitter Mob had its way, he’d already have been lynched and had had his MAGA hat stuffed down his throat.
His high school is ‘investigating’ the incident and promises to take ‘appropriate action, up to and including expulsion.’
Expulsion?
Expulsion?
To listen to some of the wailing, that would be too good for the kid.
He should have his life ruined.
He should be sent, like Captain Dreyfus, to Devil’s Island for a life of penal servitude.
I know that, of all human passions, the passion of moral self-righteousness is the most delicious.

The problem is, the people who are the objects of our indignation often present a more complicated reality than we first assume.
Take this MAGA-hat wearing teen.
Take this MAGA-hat wearing teen.
He is presented as taunting the Indian Elder.
Just look at the video.
But wait.
A classmate has written to a local television station to give his side of the story, which is sharply at odds with the white-boy-bad version burning up the internet.
And another video, as Daniel McCarthy points out, shows the activists taunting the kids.
According to The Narrative, it was the teen who approached Phillips.
According to The Narrative, it was the teen who approached Phillips.
But according to the letter writer, the high schoolers were, as was their wont after the March for Life, gathered together cheering.
‘In the midst of our cheers,’ he writes, ‘we were approached by a group of adults led by Nathan Phillips, with Phillips beating his drum.’
‘They forced their way into the center of our group.
‘They forced their way into the center of our group.
We initially thought this was a cultural display since he was beating along to our cheers and so we clapped to the beat.
However, after multiple minutes of Mr Phillips beating his drum directly in the face of my friend . . . we became confused and started wondering what was happening.
It was not until later that we discovered they would incriminate us as a publicity stunt.
As a result, my friend faces expulsion for simply standing still and our entire school is being disparaged for a crime we did not commit.’
Uh oh, a wrinkle, a tear in The Narrative.
Uh oh, a wrinkle, a tear in The Narrative.
And the tear gets bigger.
According to press accounts, some of the students verbally abused the Indian, some chanted ‘build the wall.’

The Left Hates You. Act Accordingly.-- Kurt Schlichter
They hate you.
Leftists don’t merely disagree with you.
They don’t merely feel you are misguided.
They don’t think you are merely wrong.
They hate you.
They want you enslaved and obedient, if not dead.
Once you get that, everything that is happening now will make sense.
And you will understand what you need to be ready to do.
You are normal, and therefore a heretic.
You refuse to bow to their idols, to subscribe to their twisted catechisms, to praise their false gods. This is unforgivable.
You must burn.
Crazy talk?
Just ask them.
Go ahead.
Go on social media.
Find a leftist – it’s easy.
Just say something positive about America or Jesus and they’ll come swarming like locusts.
Engage them and very quickly they will drop their masks and tell you what they really think.
I know.
I keep a rapidly expanding file of Twitter leftist death wish screenshots.
...So the only outcome is that one side wins and the other loses.
...Understand your enemy.
Understand that the Left will exploit your principles and morals to make you disarm yourself – figuratively and literally.
Don’t play their game; don’t fall for their manufactured outrages.
Never concede their lies, never take their side against the people defending your liberty.
Most of all, accept the truth that if we let them win we will spend the rest of our lives on our backs with a giant Birkenstock pressed into our collective face.
They hate us.
And however they come at us, we need to be prepared to fight."
Much here, read all!

Trump's Re-Election Chances May Be Better Than You Think | RealClearPolitics"What are Donald Trump's chances for re-election in 2020?
If history is any guide, pretty good.
In early 1994, Bill Clinton's approval rating after two years in office hovered around a dismal 40 percent...
Barack Obama was given a similarly dismal prognosis after the 2010 midterms, when Democrats lost 63 House seats and six Senate seats. Republicans regained majority control of the House, though Democrats clung to a narrow majority in the Senate.
At the time, Obama had an approval rating in the mid-40s..."
