The Republican party has received another huge gift from the incumbent president. And now it’s up to them to use his generosity wisely. For if they do, its possible that the Democrats won’t recover from the damage he’s done for years to come, perhaps never.

While two thirds of the nation is against amnesty for illegal aliens, the incumbent granted it to them anyway. Add that mistake to the increasingly costly, unwieldy, increasingly costly health care tax and the unpopularity increases dramatically. Then there’s the botched foreign policy regarding the rise of ISIS in Iraq and Syria, which can only be curtailed, according to military experts, by putting “boots on the ground,” something the incumbent’s vowed not to do.

Regarding amnesty itself, according to dailymail.co.uk/news, the incumbent said last night in a televised speech directed towards Hispanics, “'We’re going to offer the following deal. If you’ve been in America for more than five years; if you have children who are American citizens or legal residents; if you register, pass a criminal background check, and you’re willing to pay your fair share of taxes – you’ll be able to apply to stay in this country temporarily, without fear of deportation.”

 

What’s quite interesting is, if you read his promises very carefully, he really didn't offer illegals very much. Because while it's likely those granted “temporary” amnesty would have beaten the porous system any way, he went further to assure that: “'This deal does not apply to anyone who has come to this country recently. It does not apply to anyone who might come to America illegally in the future. It does not grant citizenship, or the right to stay here permanently, or offer the same benefits that citizens receive – only Congress can do that.

 

“All we’re saying is we’re not going to deport you”

 

Therefore, it would be wise for Republican leadership to take a very measured, calm and collected approach in their response. Because, a knee-jerk, overboard reaction seems to be what the incumbent’s trying to entice them to do. But, they’d be far better off to wait until after year-end when they take control of both houses of congress, and stay away from sure self-inflicted disasters like shutting down the government again.

Furthermore, taking too much time to rally against a rather innocuous amnesty deal will take away opportunities to take on other colossal errors made by the administration that present much more serious worldwide threats. 

For example, today the washingtonfreebeacon.com/national-security reports that, “[An} analysis, endorsed by leading former American and European officials, bolsters research conducted by the United Nations indicating that Iran continues to hide a great deal of its nuclear work. 

 

"The findings coincide with comments issued Thursday by the head of the U.N.’s nuclear agency, the International Atomic Energy Agency, stating that Iran still refuses to explain its research into an atomic weapon. 

 

“Iran has vigorously pursued its ambitions to obtain nuclear weapons,” according to the report, published by the International Committee in Search of Justice. 

 

“No serious indications that Tehran has stopped or abandoned this project or intends to do so were observed” in multiple internal reports issued by the U.N. over the past years, according to the report. 

 

“On the contrary, all the available information points to the conclusion that it has resorted to further secrecy and concealment to keep its program intact and unhindered,” the report concludes. “Further revelations and information all point to the fact that a military program and military related activities are at the heart of the Iranian nuclear program. 

 

“The report was endorsed by former U.S. Ambassador the UN John Bolton and former U.S. Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security Robert Joseph. It was authored by former European Parliament Vice President Alejo Vidal Quadras.”

 

So, here we have additional evidence that Iran has never really intended to curtail its nuclear weapon activity, which was almost assuredly known all along by the incumbent president and his bumbling Secretary of State, John Kerry. All of which most certainly suggests that both were planning from the very beginning to pay only lip service to decrying Iran’s nuclear buildup, while distancing the U.S. from long-time ally and friend, Israel, who now stands all alone again.

 

That’s it for today folks.
