Greg Abbott Tries to Secure Border

BREAKING: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has just authorized the state National Guard and state troopers to APPREHEND AND RETURN to the border anyone encountered after illegally crossing from Mexico.

First time a state has ever done this.

The southern border is not closed. It's not secured. The entire country is suffering due to this lawlessness. Every day, the situation grows more dire.

The Biden regime is refusing to uphold the law. It's right for Governor Abbott to take measures to protect the citizens.

Reasons To Vote For Democrats

Mark Levin explains:

Levin noted that incumbent Democrats who are now pretending they don’t support Obama have supported his policies – ObamaCare, amnesty, and massive deficit spending.

“And all this is coming home now, and it is a disaster. The country’s going to hell under this president, under the Democrat Party, everybody knows it,” he said.

Levin also cautioned that the Democrats running aren’t moderates – they’re radicals who want massive centralized government and do not believe in the working man.

“Do you want chaos on the border? Do you want immigration amnesty? Do you want massive debt? Do you want more distribution of wealth? Do you want more nationalization of health care? Destruction of jobs? Outsourcing of jobs? If you like it, then vote for your Democrat.”

It really is that simple.

The country is going in the wrong direction.

But, if you like the disaster, if you're happy with the country going to hell, vote DEMOCRAT.

In my opinion, sitting out this election if you aren't happy with what Democrat "leadership" has achieved is the most selfish, irresponsible thing you can do.

If you're a conservative and you choose to stay home, you are voting DEMOCRAT. You are voting for chaos on the border, immigration amnesty, massive debt, destruction of jobs, more government-run health care, and higher taxes.

All those things are made possible by voting DEMOCRAT or not voting at all.

Ebola: Obama Weekly Address (Video)

Sadly, I suspect much of what Obama is offering as education for the public will be tossed out as rubbish.

Some choice quotations:

"Ebola is actually a difficult disease to catch. It's not transmitted through the air like the flu. You cannot get it from just riding on a plane or a bus."

Oh, now you CANNOT get it from riding on a plane or a bus.

So why is the CDC scrambling to contact everyone who was on the planes used by Amber Vinson?

It's easy for Obama to say not to fear public transportation when he and his family trot around the globe on Air Force One. When he pays a visit to Gwyneth Paltrow, Obama doesn't take a Frontier Airlines flight.

The White House needs to call the CDC and tell them to change the information on the CDC website. Obama is feeding the public different information.

I hate the comparison to the flu. The flu does not have a 70 percent, or higher, mortality rate.

The flu/Ebola comparison can't be called an "apples and oranges" thing. It's more of an "apples and toxic waste" matter.

"We know how to fight this disease. We know the protocols. And we know that when they're followed, they work."

If that's the case, why hasn't Obama expressed anger and extreme regret over the breakdown in protocols in Dallas, and the failure of the U.S. government to adequately prepare for the inevitable? Obama refuses to be held accountable, and hold buffoons like Tom Frieden accountable.

"We can't just cut ourselves off from West Africa, where this disease is raging. Our medical experts tell us that the best way to stop this disease is to stop it at its source-before it spreads even wider and becomes even more difficult to contain. Trying to seal off an entire region of the world-if that were even possible-could actually make the situation worse. It would make it harder to move health workers and supplies back and forth. Experience shows that it could also cause people in the affected region to change their travel, to evade screening, and make the disease even harder to track."

Of course, we need to stop the virus at its source. There is an enormous difference between "sealing off an entire region," as if to abandon it, and being responsible in terms of free travel by infected individuals. The screeing process didn't keep Liberian Thomas Eric Duncan from lying to his government and getting through to infect American healthcare workers.

What's working in Africa, dramatic measures like closing borders and severely restricting travel, should be done here to protect our homeland.

Obama doesn't get that his first job is to protect Americans, not expose us to a lethal virus.

This has been a disaster. Obama and his administration have screwed up royally.

I am praying that Nina Pham and Amber Vinson fully recover. In order to survive, they have to beat long odds. The video of Nina in her hospital bed is heartbreaking. It is awful.

Nina didn't get on a plane or go on a cruise. She did the right thing. God, my heart goes out to her and her family. Amber, too.

Has Obama called Nina? Has he called Amber?

If Ebola is so hard to get, I want to see photos of Obama visiting Nina and Amber in the hospital.

Would an image of Obama in a hazmat suit be kind of bad?

Probably.

If Obama golfs tomorrow, I will flip out. I swear to God, I will go berserk.

Ebola: Contamination

Remember this?

JESSE PINKMAN: When you say it's contamination, I mean, I'm thinking like a, like an Ebola leak or something.

WALTER WHITE: Ebola...

JESSE: Yeah, it's a disease on the Discovery Channel, where all your intestines sort of just slip right out of your butt.

WALT: Thank you. I know what Ebola is.

JESSE: Uh huh.

WALT: Now tell me, what would a west African virus be doing in our lab? Hmm?

JESSE: So, you're chasing around a fly, and in your world, I'm the idiot.

The good old days-- when a hazmat suit was used for cooking meth.


What's insane is that our government is not stopping people from countries with raging Ebola epidemics from entering the U.S. before being certain they are no threat to Americans.

Is the goal an Ebola pandemic?

That appears to be the case.

The protocol is in place - Contamination for Dummies.

OBAMA: Yes we can!

Obama's Ebola Plan

Ebola solutions thus far: Open borders, climate change legislation, continued flights from West Africa, and flyers from the CDC.

— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) October 15, 2014

After 9/11, the Bush Administration shut down U.S. airspace. There were no flights.

That was done to protect us.

What has Obama done to protect us from Ebola?

Nothing.

Duncan Lied on Ebola Screening Form

Thomas Eric Duncan, the Liberian who brought Ebola to the U.S., lied on an airport questionnaire in Liberia, meant to contain the disease.

The more information that comes out about this, the angrier I get.

From the New York Times:

Thomas E. Duncan, the Liberian man who developed Ebola symptoms in Dallas after flying from Liberia to the United States last month, lied about his history of contact with the disease on an airport questionnaire meant to screen out passengers who might be carrying the virus and is subject to prosecution when he returns, Binyah Kesselly, chairman of the Liberia Airport Authority, said Thursday.

When Mr. Duncan flew out of Roberts International Airport in Monrovia, the Liberian capital, on Sept. 19, he answered “no” to a question about whether he had had contact with any person who might have been stricken with Ebola in the past 21 days, the maximum period of incubation for Ebola, Mr. Kesselly said.

“He lied on his form,” Mr. Kesselly said. “If he had answered truthfully, he would have been sent to secondary screening immediately and not allowed to leave.”

Mr. Kesselly said Mr. Duncan would be prosecuted upon his return for lying on the questionnaire.

Duncan should be prosecuted for his lies.

At least Liberian authorities have the decency and the integrity to do it.

I can't say the same for the U.S. authorities. Obama is allowing the free flow of disease into the U.S. thanks to his intentional failure to secure our borders.

I do not trust the information about Ebola coming from the CDC and the Obama administration.

Everything is a cover-up with them. Everything is a pack of lies. There is no trust.

Why the hell hasn't Obama addressed the nation about the Ebola situation in America?

Is he personally calling the parents of Dallas school children possibly exposed to the Ebola virus, to check if they're OK?

After all, Obama took the time to make a personal call to Sandra Fluke.

With all due respect, what a jerk!

Ebola: Parents Remove Children From School

If I had a child attending a school where a student had contact with the diagnosed Ebola patient, I would definitely pull my child out immediately.

Is that overreacting?

I really wouldn't care.

I would do anything to protect my child.

I also wouldn't trust what the school district or the government is telling me.

From the Star-Telegram:

Parents on Wednesday were removing their children from a Dallas school where a student may have had contact with the Ebola patient diagnosed Tuesday.

A letter to parents of children at L.L. Hotchkiss Elementary School, 6929 Town North Drive, says in part:

“This morning, we were made aware that one of our students may have had contact with an individual who was recently diagnosed with the Ebola virus. This student is currently not showing any symptoms and is under close observation by the Dallas County Health and Human Services Department. As a precautionary measure, the student has been advised to stay home from school. Since this student is not presenting any symptoms, there is nothing to suggest that the disease was spread to others, including students and staff.”

At a news conference at noon Wednesday, Dallas Independent School District Superintendent Mike Miles said students attending four different Dallas Independent School District schools possibly have been exposed to the Ebola virus.

He said the district was informed the five students were in contact with the Ebola patient over the weekend. They have been in school since, but are now at home and likely will be kept there for 21 days.

This Ebola patient gets around, doesn't he?

The parents keeping their children out of school are doing the right thing.

I expect the government to keep people from Ebola hotspots out of my country.

Period.

If such steps aren't taken, I don't think it's a good idea to go out to eat or use public transportation. God forbid you find yourself in need of a public restroom.

And if you go out in public, hope no one sneezes anywhere near you.

The line is the flu is much more of a threat to the public than Ebola.

That's stupid.

We have a flu vaccine. I already got my shot for this season, and so have all members of my immediate family.

The flu isn't a death sentence. The odds of recovering from the flu are dramatically better than surviving Ebola.

Give me an Ebola vaccine and I'll relax.

ISIS, Obama, and the Border

We have a problem.

The problem is Obama.

From the New York Times:

Militants for the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria have traveled to Mexico and are just miles from the United States. They plan to cross over the porous border and will “imminently” launch car bomb attacks. And the threat is so real that federal law enforcement officers have been placed at a heightened state of alert, and an American military base near the border has increased its security.

As the Obama administration and the American public have focused their attention on ISIS in recent weeks, conservative groups and leading Republicans have issued stark warnings like those that ISIS and other extremists from Syria are planning to enter the country illegally from Mexico. But the Homeland Security Department, the F.B.I. and lawmakers who represent areas near the border say there is no truth to the warnings.

“There is no credible intelligence to suggest that there is an active plot by ISIL to attempt to cross the southern border,” Homeland Security officials said in a written statement, using an alternative acronym for the group.

Democrats say opponents of President Obama are simply playing on concerns about terrorism as part of their attempt to portray Mr. Obama as having failed to secure the border against illegal immigration.

I have no tolerance for this bickering and political posturing.

I'm so sick of the "party before country" stuff.

Having a porous border is a weakness. It's dangerous.

"No credible intelligence" -- Give me a break!

It's impossible for us to be assured that terrorists aren't entering the country through Mexico. We don't know who's coming in.

Obama wants it that way.

"Give me your extremists, your terrorists,
Your huddled jihadis yearning to kill Americans."

ISIS, ISIL, IS: ISLAMIC

ISIS (ISLAMIC State of Iraq and Syria)

or

ISIL (ISLAMIC State of Iraq and the Levant)

or

IS (ISLAMIC State)

There isn't consensus as to what to call the terrorist organization that Obama vows to destroy, with the help of that "broad coalition."

Who, exactly, is included in that coalition?

We don't know that either.

On Wednesday, Obama told the American people that "ISIL" is the enemy.

What is ISIL?

It's the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.

But Obama insists that ISIL is not Islamic.

OBAMA: Now let’s make two things clear: ISIL is not “Islamic.” No religion condones the killing of innocents.

I think the members of ISIL (or ISIS, or IS) would beg to differ.

My guess is they don't like Obama telling them they aren't "Islamic." Just a guess.

Greg Gutfeld tells Obama:

We get it. Not all Muslims are terrorists. But the I in ISIL doesn't stand for igloo. Delinking ISIS from what drives it insults the moderates you seek to address.

Obama made a mistake when he chose to declare that ISIL is not "Islamic," even though that's clearly not the case.

We can't pretend that ISIL (or ISIS, or IS) is not driven by religion. It's unrealistic.

Obama's decision to attempt to reconstruct reality makes him look utterly impotent.

The president of the United States shouldn't have to tiptoe around the truth when he's discussing DESTROYING the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.

OBAMA: Our objective is clear: We will degrade, and ultimately destroy, ISIL through a comprehensive and sustained counterterrorism strategy.

Here's a suggestion for that "comprehensive and sustained counterterrorism strategy":

SECURE OUR BORDERS.

Fallon: Ted Cruz, Obama Golf Joke

JIMMY FALLON: Senator Ted Cruz has invited President Obama to play golf on the U.S.-Mexico border. Cruz thought it was a funny way to point out the problems the president hasn't fixed yet; while Obama was like, 'So are we playing or not?'

Obama Open Borders

Illegal Immigrant Children Housed in Milwaukee

"Temporary housing" for 300 children for 120 days?

Yeah, right.

If all these children were living in such deplorable conditions in their home countries that their parents actually abandoned them and sent them to ANOTHER COUNTRY alone, why wasn't Catholic Charities tending to their needs before this drastic move?

Why the exodus now?

And when will the exodus stop?

Never?

What is our government doing?

Shipping children to Wisconsin because they were sent to the U.S. by their parents to require us to assume responsibility for them?

It's insane.

Who came up with the plan to send 300 kids to Milwaukee? Who is behind this? Why Milwaukee? Why 300? Why not 1,000? Why not 10,000?

Unbelievable.


This has never happened before in our country, not on this scale, not in such a chaotic fashion.

In the past, people adopted children from poor countries. People donated to charities to help suffering children and give them better lives in their home countries. We didn't encourage them to be ripped from their parents and shipped here without an orderly process in place.

This is not a good plan. It's no plan at all. This creates far more problems than it solves.  There's no reason to feel good about accepting these children.

What about all the children living in hellholes across the globe? Tough luck if you're on the wrong side of the ocean, kids! Losers!

Will caring for the children forced by their parents over our border really be a sign of our compassion and greatness as a nation?

Aren't there millions and millions of kids in need? Don't they matter?

I don't think housing these kids in Milwaukee is solving the "humanitarian crisis" Obama created.

Don't these children miss their parents? Do the parents expect to join their kids shortly?

Governors across the country, including DEMOCRAT governors, are not cooperating with the Obama administration's plan to dump the children in their states.

Will Scott Walker voice an objection to dumping hundreds of children in Wisconsin?

He should.

If he's interested in being a national leader, he can't afford to be silent on this one. Walker is up for election in November. I don't think he can afford to tick off his supporters. 

Since Obama did away with the southern border of the U.S., I wonder if he plans on erasing the borders of the states. Borders, shmorders.

Would Walker expect Wisconsinites to foot the bill of education and health care and housing for Illinois citizens?

Just let Illinois children pour into the state and have the Milwaukee Archdiocese find empty schools to use as shelters for them.

Is that a reasonable plan?

The answer is NO.

Obama: 'Worst President Ever'

Obama and the Border

Obama Doesn't Care About American Children

Why is it acceptable for Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador to dump their children in the United States? Why is it OK for children from those countries to be sent to drain the resources of our country?

The governments of those countries have stringent guidelines and severe restrictions when it comes to permitting individuals to come and live there.

Dan O'Donnell reports that those countries would not be willing to simply take in and care for Americans if we would show up at their borders.

Just How Hard is it to Legally Move to Honduras?



Moving to Guatemala



Moving to El Salvador




I think Obama should pressure these countries to stop sending their children to the U.S.

He should use his damn phone and his damn pen and secure our borders and protect the American people.

He should care about the diseases and the criminals that he's welcoming into our country.

Obama always says he will act if Congress doesn't.

So why is Obama failing to address the open borders crisis that he created?

Suddenly, the imperial president is powerless.

What a crock!

Obama is a terrible president, worse than Jimmy Carter.

Jimmy Fallon: Rick Perry Joke

JIMMY FALLON: President Obama was in Texas yesterday to address this immigration crisis. And get this-- Texas Governor Rick Perry said he wasn't gonna greet the president when he arrived at the airport. He made like a big deal about it. And then Governor Perry finally caved in and in fact did go meet the president when he landed. But I thought this was a little petty. Look at this photo:



It's disrespectful. The man is the president. It's rude! It is so rude!

So instead of ripping Obama for the crisis he created on what once was the border of the United States, Fallon mocks Rick Perry.

Obama went to Texas to "address this immigration crisis"?

Really? That's news to me. Does Obama address a crisis by fundraising after playing pool and drinking beer in Colorado? Leading from behind a cue ball?

Fallon's monologue didn't include ANY jokes making fun of Obama, not one.

Enough with the stale Rob Ford crap.

For half a century, The Tonight Show monologue included jokes about the president. That was just standard stuff.

But now, nothing. It's insane. Fallon's monologue would be nonexistent without Rob Ford and Chris Christie. The monologue really, really sucks.

By the way, the show got an Emmy nomination for writing.

Bernadette Lancelin: 'What About the Kids Here?' (Video)

Bernadette Lancelin was interviewed on KRIV FOX 26, Houston.

She expressed her outrage over what's happening at our border, and Obama's call to spend BILLIONS of dollars to manage the crisis while we have our own problems.

Here's video:

BERNADETTE LANCELIN: It's not right. Now billions of dollars want to be borrowed from the White House to help feed and house them.

What about the [bleep] kids here, in our neighborhood, in our country? Not just in this neighborhood but in our country!

All these kids-- Really? Why can't they go back?

I'm sorry that the parents are in poor living conditions or surroundings or whatever's going on out there. I don't care!

I care about what's going on right here in my own back yard, my neighborhood.

Am I the only one in this community that's out here that watches the news every [bleep] morning? Oh, my God! I feel alone right now in this, and I'm very saddened by it.

Lancelin is right.

She shouldn't feel alone.

Millions of people share her concerns.

What we aren't getting is proper media coverage. I understand why she feels the way she does.

Under normal circumstances, the president would be held accountable for not managing the anarchy. Americans would demand action, and the media would be leading the charge.

Where the hell is Oprah? Why isn't she crying at the border? Where's Geraldo? Shouldn't he be apprehending the criminals pouring into the country?

Obama's Leftist propagandists are glossing over Obama's border crisis, and failing to report on the threats and the risks that his "no borders" policy presents.

I don't think they'll be successful in propping up Obama on this one much longer.

If you're one of those parents who don't believe in getting your kids vaccinated, you might want to reconsider that choice.

Obama: No Border Visit

Obama is making yet another huge mistake, but his flunkies continue to support him. Obama can do no wrong. If Obama does it, it must be right.

At the moment, his Leftist media and his Democrat allies may not be too critical of his refusal to visit the site of the disaster he created by failing to secure our borders and encouraging countries to dump children and criminals in our country.

Protecting this lawless, imperial president will not end well for the Obama hacks.

The American people know that this mess is Obama's fault, and he refuses to visit the site of crisis.

Playing pool and drinking beer in Colorado?

Fundraising in Texas?

Plenty of time for that.

Obama can't even muster up a hashtag to address the crisis.

People are ticked off, and rightly so.

I don't think you can call this Obama's "Katrina moment."

Katrina was a natural disaster.

Obama has permitted and encouraged this disaster.

A hurricane can't be avoided.

A president deciding to open our borders and put our people at risk is another matter altogether.

It's a disgrace that Obama refuses to go to the site of his disaster.

He was crawling all over the devastation from Hurricane Sandy, but he just can't make it to the border.

What a leader!
