FLASHBACK VIDEO: The Barack Obama Video That Anti-ICE Dems Want Buried Forever and That Trump Should Run on TV 24/7

FLASHBACK VIDEO: The Barack Obama Video That Anti-ICE Dems Want Buried Forever and That Trump Should Run on TV 24/7: 

“I’m the president of the United States; I’m not the emperor of the United States,” Obama began. “My job is to execute laws that are passed.”

Can you feel the irony building? After all, in a comment about illegal immigration, Obama admitted that he had no choice but to enforce existing laws. To do otherwise — and this surely will confuse the “No Kings” morons — would make him an emperor!

Minnesota anti-ICE activists get $3.3 million from Soros-backed charity you've never heard of * WorldNetDaily * by Hudson Crozier, Daily Caller News Foundation

Minnesota anti-ICE activists get $3.3 million from Soros-backed charity you've never heard of * WorldNetDaily * by Hudson Crozier, Daily Caller News Foundation: 

Sixteen activist groups mobilizing against immigration agents in Minnesota have one thing in common: financial support from a nonprofit backed by the Soros family's Open Society Foundations. The Minneapolis-based Headwaters Foundation for Justice awarded $3,321,013 in funds and non-cash assistance since 2014 to groups that now seek to monitor Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or protest the agency, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation analysis of tax filings, activists' websites and their social media posts. One related protest at the Minneapolis-St. Paul (MSP) airport led to around 100 arrests on Jan. 23.

The master Muslim takeover plan: Bo French on the scheme for domination | Blaze Media: 

“I’m like, ‘Guys, just look in history. Just read their books. Just read their own holy books. It’s clearly the goal. They’re not being quiet about that,” she says, adding that Americans will claim “freedom of religion” in defense of Muslims.

“It’s not a religion,” French says. “It’s a political structure.”

It was the Vikings fault!

• On 12 August 2017, a neo-Nazi deliberately drove his car into a crowd of left-wing protestors in Charlottesville, Virginia, killing 32-year-old Heather Heyer and injuring 35 others...
• The victims were assembled to counter the Unite The Right rally - a demonstration against the proposed removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee, a Confederate general...

At a press conference in the immediate aftermath, President Trump made a series of incendiary comments, including saying that “there were very fine people on both sides”.
Like many people, I was horrified and outraged by the fact that instead of trying to bring calm, Trump chose to further inflame a highly volatile situation.

• But not nearly as horrified and outraged as when I later discovered that this was all an orchestrated media hoax.
•  In actual fact, at that very press conference President Trump made it clear that his comments were describing peaceful protestors who opposed the removal of the statue, saying “I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally”. 

But the media cut his comments out of context and ran headline after headline claiming he was defending the very people he had just condemned.

To this day, millions believe this lie.
Last week, I saw it again...

From the leftist rag that idolized every past First Lady but refuses to have Melania on cover. Or anywhere else.

A mob of roughly 30 to 40 left-leaning agitators, joined by former CNN anchor Don Lemon, interrupted a Sunday service at the Christian church on January 18. 

New Poll Crushes Dem, Media Narrative: Americans Demand Mass Deportations, Back ICE Overwhelmingly

If you've consumed a moment of news from the legacy media in recent weeks, one might forgive you for developing the impression that the American people despise U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). - Rusty Weiss

• But that is a view held almost exclusively by radicals in the Democrat party, then amplified by their sycophant worshippers in the field of journalism.
• In a stunning rebuke to the left's relentless portrayal of immigration enforcement as divisive and extreme, a brand new national poll from Cygnal reveals overwhelming American support for mass deportations and ICE's role in upholding the law.
• The results show that, by a two-to-one margin (61-34 percent), voters back the deportation of illegal immigrants, while a massive 73 percent agree that crossing the border illegally constitutes—you're not going to believe this—breaking the law!

HUD secretary breaks down how illegal immigration affects housing market * WorldNetDaily * by Mariane Angela, Daily Caller News Foundation

HUD secretary breaks down how illegal immigration affects housing market * WorldNetDaily * by Mariane Angela, Daily Caller News Foundation: 

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Scott Turner said Thursday that illegal immigration is squeezing housing supply and driving up rents and home prices for American families. Appearing on "The Record with Greta Van Susteren," Turner said more than 12 million illegal immigrants have entered the country without adequate screening, adding immediate pressure to already constrained housing markets. He said that when millions of people arrive outside the legal system, demand spikes while supply fails to keep pace, driving up rents and home prices for working families.
