≈ Comments Off on Two Invasions
In the USSA, after 50 years of constant invasion, the fake administration is now paying people to invade.
In sane Poland, while the resolute Poles line up the tanks, even the reluctant EU prepares to build a wall.
Where do you think civilization will continue?

Ann Coulter’s bet is still out there waiting for a taker: will Trump cave on the budget and the wall (again)? It certainly looks like it.
The White House suggested Tuesday that President Donald Trump could back down from his demand for $5 billion to fund his proposed border wall in a year-end spending bill.
Trump’s push for the money has threatened a partial government shutdown when funding for seven agencies lapses after midnight Friday. Last week, the president said he would be “proud” to close parts of the government over border security.
“We have other ways that we can get to that $5 billion that we’ll work with Congress,” White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told Fox News on Tuesday morning. She added that the Trump administration could support $1.6 billion in border security funding proposed by Senate Democrats, as long as it can “couple that with other funding resources” to get to $5 billion.
We wait. And, even if there is a partial shutdown, those “essential” personnel will still keep working. One wonders if the ATF is essential because the agents will be needed ASAP to enforce Trump’s ban on bump stocks.
The Trump administration moved Tuesday to officially ban bump stocks, which allow semi-automatic weapons to fire rapidly like automatic firearms, and has made them illegal to possess beginning in late March.
The devices will be banned under a federal law that prohibits machine guns, according to a senior Justice Department official.
I feel a little foolish, now, about running those pro-Trump 2A articles at FP a few years ago.
No border security, no deportations, no repelling actual invasion, no sound budgeting, and no respect for the Second Amendment. Thank you, queen Hillary.
This new regulation is, of course, unconstitutional. But, it will stand – Ivanka’s tears can reach the Supreme Court if needed.
Be mindful that the same regulatory logic, under different laws, could be used – in one stroke of the Presidential pen – to ban aliens, gun control, and debt. All debt-holders must either destroy their debt instruments or else turn them into the Treasury for immediate destruction. All debt is now illegal. It’ll not happen though it could.
Conservative friends, the old Trump Train can’t make it far from the station if the tracks are destroyed.

Humpty Trumpty sat on The Wall,
…
Humpty’s America had a great fall.
MAGA, and all that! The ever-delightfull Ms. Coulter takes a hard look at some patterns forming in the West Wing. It ain’t pretty (Visit Taki, BTW).
Within 10 seconds of Trump’s leaving office, there will be no evidence that he was ever president. Laws will be changed, executive orders rescinded, treaties re-written and courts packed.
Trump will leave no legacy at all. Only a wall is forever.
We had no choice. No one else was promising to save America.
“On day one, we will begin working on an impenetrable, physical, tall, powerful, beautiful southern border wall. We will use the best technology, including above- and below-ground sensors, that’s the tunnels. Remember that: above and below. Towers, aerial surveillance and manpower to supplement the wall, find and dislocate tunnels and keep out criminal cartels …”
— Presidential candidate Donald J. Trump
But then he signed a spending bill expressly prohibiting him from building any part of the wall.
“I will never sign another bill like this again. I’m not going to do it again.”
— President Trump, after signing a spending bill that blocked any funding for a wall.
Today, eight months later, Trump is about to sign another spending bill that will give him no money for the wall.
Anyone want to bet me that he won’t?
Not I.
If America can’t or won’t resist open invasion, then what’s the point? Why bother having any notion of a country?
Hope remains. Perhaps Trump read all this on his working trip to Argentina. Maybe he honed in on the building of the wall inside Mexico. That’s so brilliant, I wish I had thought of it. A.C. deserves her fame.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a nursery rhyme to rewrite.
