I thought a wall was needed before I knew of any of those people and Faux. What good is it to deport people if they just come back? How many should the US take? Give me a number. Fifty million?
Trump campaigned on the wall construction. Think he would just forget about it?
If the wall doesn't work, tear it down. "Senator Pelosi, tear down this wall." What would happen without it?

WH Releases Mueller Report

A politician spouting "...nonsense and lies..." is tolerable if that is what it took to get the changes Trump has made and will make. It does boggle a mind but almost half of the voters disliked Hillary and her politics that much.

He panders to those who feed his ego and the people he needs to be building alliances with he alienates instead. He's not a great deal maker; he's not a good negotiator; he's not a good leader; he's not a self-made man, he is, however, the least qualified person to ever hold the office of POTUS. If current trends continue, he may be the first POTUS ever to be indicted while in office too.
"...chaotic irrational narcissism panders not a good negotiator not self made maybe indicted..."

Yep, and preference goes to a president that is all of that but does five or six conservative things that Hillary would not do while preventing anything she would do! What a country!

$5 billion for a wall

Posted By Mel Maki
The media and Dems did their best to hype the caravan as a crisis giving it wall to wall coverage.

Hardly. Rush and Coulter are drops in a bucket compared to the rest of the media with the people that organized the caravan. This was a big push from liberals.

And if you read the transcript of Coulter saying she wants to invade Mexico you can see the headline writers used some hype. One interview quotes her saying one yard into Mexico and another interview shows her saying ten yards into Mexico. Whatever she said doesn't rate the headlines those outlets gave her.

Trump Teens Harass Native American/Vietnam Vet

Posted By Mel Maki
I watched some of it. This group of protesters has a history of not being Boys Scouts. It looked like they walked up to the teens, one (later saying with concern the teens were free to rip him apart) placing a drum close to a teen's face while other protesters yelled invectives. Didn't look like the teens moved forward. Nobody has shown the teens yelled insults. The media was good and ready to show that white teens with red hats were racists. Red hats are the new white hoods.

I'm giving the "adult" protesters most of the blame for this one.

Beyond Stupid...

Crazy. Some thoughtful officers. Maybe we are not getting enough information to make sense of this.

Looks like two on duty cops left their area and met with an off duty cop at a house. Who believes they met to play that game with their guns? That is the best story they had? This dept. has recently had scandals.

California's Mysterious Gas Surcharge...

Too bad for the working stiff that drove to work. The politicians that CA voters elect have not cared that your gas is more expensive. The left thinks gas is still too cheap. If it cost enough alternatives would be more viable. 
It would probably cost more today if Trump had not increased our production.
