December 12, 2018
“To date, there is no plan to build sections of the wall. However, Congress has provided options under Title 10 U.S. Code that could permit the Department of Defense to fund border barrier projects, such as in support of counter drug operations or national emergencies,” Pentagon spokesman Army Lt. Col. Jamie Davis said.
The Pentagon statement came after President Trump on Tuesday morning said the military could build remaining sections of a border wall.

December 12, 2018
Two groups of Central American migrants made separate marches on the U.S. Consulate in Tijuana Tuesday, demanding that they be processed through the asylum system more quickly and in greater numbers, that deportations be halted and that President Trump either let them into the country or pay them $50,000 each to go home.
On the one-month anniversary of their arrival into Tijuana, caravan members are pressing the United States to take action but they are dwindling in numbers since more than 6,000 first arrived to the city’s shelters.

They were removed from the building and CPR was administered. One person was pronounced dead at the scene by medical personnel who arrived from the McMurdo clinic. The other was flown to the McMurdo clinic and pronounced dead there a short time later.In First Major Purchase Since “Trade War Truce”, China Buy 500,000 Tonnes Of US Soybeans…

Three Clinton Foundation Whistleblowers To Testify About Tax Crimes, Pay-For-Play
December 12, 2018
Following allegations of sloppy accounting, potential tax fraud and pay-to-play, the Clinton Foundation will be under a Congressional microscope this week after three whistleblowers have come forward and agreed to testify - one of whom secretly submitted 6,000 pages of documents to the IRS and FBI in August of 2017, and all three of whom have submitted various documents to Congressional investigators.
Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC), Chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, told Fox News's Martha MacCallum on Monday night that there are three whistleblowers who have spent the past two years investigating the Clinton Foundation, and have "explosive" allegations which they will share during Thursday testimony on Capitol Hill.

President Trump Signs Genocide Relief Act Protecting Christians in Iraq and Syria…
December 12, 2018
President Donald Trump signed a law on Tuesday combatting genocide of Christians in the Middle East, legislation supported by the Knights of Columbus and a broad array of faith-based organizations.
Christians are being systematically wiped out in Syria and Iraq, along with other religious minorities in parts of the Middle East. Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ) and former Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA) spearheaded the passage of H.R. 390, the Iraq and Syria Genocide Relief and Accountability Act of 2018, which the president signed in an Oval Office ceremony. Both congressmen stood with the president as he signed the bill.
New Academic Study Concludes: All Americans Must Lose Their 2nd Amendment Rights Because Blacks Can’t Stop Shooting Each Other…

As long as the nation’s patchwork of gun laws means guns can flow from states with lax laws to states with more gun control—as School of Public Health researchers have found—gun violence will continue to increase across the country, Kalesan says. “I’m not saying don’t push for gun laws that do work. Get them done by all means.”
[...]
The answer to assaultive gun violence, Kalesan says, is not simply more policing, either. Heavily policing—and disproportionately reinforcing gun laws—in Black communities “is just going to create more animosity,” she says. Research by her SPH colleagues has also illustrated how structural racism increases the odds of unarmed African Americans being shot and killed by police, and the wider mental health toll of that form of gun violence.Isn't it amazing how they carefully craft their sentences to fool those NPC's that get activated by buzzwords like "Structural Racism" (institutional racism, which doesn't exist on paper)? Also, isn't it also convenient for this report to not mention how police kill more whites than blacks, but minority deaths generate more outrage.? It's almost as if this report has an agenda.
Whether gun suicide or gun assault, Kalesan says, “you can’t just treat the symptoms away. You have to treat the disease from the base.”
This agenda-driven report strategically bypasses the fact that Liberal run cities have removed the 2nd amendment rights from Black citizens. That is the real base of all these problems. They've essentially removed the rights for blacks to defend themselves, and yet, they have carefully crafted their report to blame "whites". But it goes much deeper than that. These Liberal Run cities have teamed up with profit-driven private prisons that have essentially created a business from turning blacks into criminals. This side-effect removes the rights from blacks by denying them purchases of firearms when doing background checks. And all this is only a fraction of what Democrats have been able to get away with.
Reports like these don't help blacks, by denying their right to self defense, they further oppress them. #BlackGunsMatter too.

Stat of the day: Walls work…
December 12, 2018
Democrats claim America doesn’t need a wall to protect its southern border. Common sense says otherwise—and so do the numbers.
Building walls at key sections of the border caused illegal traffic to drop by 90 percent or more in the years that followed:
- San Diego, CA (built in 1992): Illegal traffic dropped 92 percent over 23 years
- El Paso, TX (built in 1993): Illegal traffic dropped 95 percent in 22 years
- Tucson, AZ (built in 2000): Illegal traffic dropped 90 percent over 15 years
- Yuma, AZ (built in 2005): Illegal traffic dropped 95 percent over 9 years

"It's hard though because he was a prominent public figure. They have to prove malice and that it wasn't a mistake.

December 12, 2018
Employees working in Amazon’s new Staten Island fulfillment center have announced their intention to unionize, reports Bloomberg. Through a partnership with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU), the employees said that they’re aiming to address numerous issues, including safety concerns, lengthy unpaid security checks, unreasonable hourly quotas, and insufficient breaks.
It will be interesting to see how it'll work out given that Amazon avoids directly hiring employees and instead uses contracting agencies they can freely fire and rinse and repeat.
