Deal Blocked

This afternoon, the Senate voted 49 to 50 to block the terrible border deal from moving forward. That’s a victory – for now.

The last seven days have been very bad for the Deep State, the Uniparty, the Washington establishment and American elites. They thought they had this terrible deal in the bag.

Senator James Lankford (R-OK), in my opinion, unwisely took this assignment from GOP Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to be the chief negotiator for Republicans, perhaps assuming that as a strong pro-life Christian, he had a lot of goodwill among conservatives.

Sadly, Rush Limbaugh is gone, so the Swamp assumed it didn’t have to worry about his influence blowing up this bill, like he had done so many times before.

With no complaints from the media, they conducted the negotiations behind closed doors for months. Normally, the media would be attacking the lack of transparency. Normally, conservatives would be attacking liberals for concocting schemes that the voters can’t see.

But the fix was in. Democrat leaders and Republican leaders didn’t want the American people to know what was going on.

Unbelievably, when leaks occurred and people started criticizing what was in the bill, the critics were blasted because they “haven’t read the text yet.”

Ponder that for a moment. Why hadn’t they read it? Because the senators wouldn’t release the text.

Moreover, the bill is 370 pages long. Americans, who hyperventilate every time they go to the grocery store, don’t have time to read 300 pages of legislative legalese. It’s unlikely that most members of Congress fully understand it or know what’s in it.

But, in spite of all the left-wing media spin and all the elites who were behind this deal, it failed because the American people were not behind it.

What’s so astonishing is that so many politicians seem shell-shocked by this defeat.

How is it possible that they don’t realize the level of outrage as our country is being invaded on a daily basis?  

Well, they probably don’t have to wait hours in a hospital emergency room overrun with illegal aliens. Their kids probably aren’t in schools with students speaking a dozen different languages. They don’t have to worry about their wife being attacked when she’s out shopping by gangs of illegal aliens.

A good portion of the country is still working from home. Maybe we should make the politicians work at home more often. That way, they can see what life is like in carjacked Chicago and looted San Francisco. They can see the gang warfare in our schools among gangs that aren’t even American kids -- “imported” gangs!

We’ve imported foreign gangs, just as we continue to import hate.
