Since the incumbent dithers on almost daily in speeches across the nation, while visiting golf courses and pool halls he likes, it’s doubtful that many actually listen to what he says.
That’s likely why something he uttered in a speech last Friday hasn’t been picked up on by more than a few observers. Nonetheless, according to clashdaily.com/2014, he said: “I’m just telling the truth now—I’m not running for office anymore.”
Now, whether that was an admission to years of fabrications in pursuit of elected office, a sudden short burst of honesty, or an indication of continued unbridled disregard for the disastrous ramifications of misguided policy is irrelevant. What matters most is that after years of abject dishonesty, he has now has disclosed himself as a total, unequivocal fraud.
And fraud itself seems to be the cornerstone of the Democrat party today, because Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid told reporters yesterday “The border is secure.”
He then said, according to patdollard.com/2014, ”[L]awmakers need to worry less about border security and focus instead on President Obama’s $3.7 billion request to help process the tens of thousands of children from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador who have been apprehended on the border.” And that, “[I]f the House had passed the Senate’s comprehensive immigration reform bill, there would not be a surge of illegal immigrant minors from Central America.”
However, if the border is truly secure, how did these surging illegal minors get into the country? And what does the administration need the money for if these illegals are truly being turned back?
Thus the double-talk from the Dem’s at the top is beyond incredible.
Where the whole problem started, though, is another example of administrative incompetence and the result of shortsighted thinking for purely political purposes. Because the countless thousands of illegal immigrants flocking to the U.S. in recent months, believe that the “Dream Act,” as well as a 2008 law granting an asylum hearing to any child not from a border nation applies to them. Furthermore, the White House policy known as “prosecutorial discretion” means once they arrive, they’ll never have to go back.
While legislators declined to enact the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act (Dream Act) in the 112th Congress, the incumbent himself initiated the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program on June 15, 2012.
Not bothering to issue an Executive Order or White House memorandum regarding the decision, he simply directed Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano to draft guidance on applying "prosecutorial discretion" with respect to a certain class of younger immigrants without legal status, which is what opened the doors to one and all.
So, looking at the result of this unilateral decision to attract illegals, perhaps that’s one of the reasons why the following occurrence, noted in Chris Stirewalt’s Fox News.com column, just took place.
“The National Draft Ben Carson for President Committee, a PAC promoting Dr. Ben Carson as the 2016 GOP presidential nominee, raised more than $3.3 million in the second quarter. That beats the $2.5 million raised in the quarter by the pro-Hillary presidential group, Ready for Hillary. Since last fall, the pro-Carson group has now raised more than $7.2 million.”
What’s most important here to note is that, while Dr. Carson's a highly respected Republican who may be strongly considering a presidential run, he’s not even one of the top party contenders. Therefore, if even he can significantly outperform Bill Clinton’s wife in fundraising at this stage, it looks like any of the really the big names will leave her in the dust, funds-wise and worse for her…at the polls.
That’s it for today folks.
Adios
