Shutdown Agreement Released! This Is a Temporary Deal

The President addressed the nation Friday from the Rose Garden to describe the shutdown deal agreed to Friday. The historic shutdown has caused significant problems.

Earlier today, the airports were affected by air traffic controllers calling in sick, delaying flights. More than just the 800,000 federal workers are now affected.

It’s dangerous when planes are affected, but it’s risky politically for both Nancy Pelosi and Donald Trump.

The Air traffic controllers issued a statement. They said they did not condone any demonstrations that affect their ability to function. But they added that they are exhausted and in fear over their difficulties meeting demands.

Other agencies have also been severely impacted. FBI Director Wray is as angry as he has ever been.

“Making some people stay home when they don’t want to,” Wray says, “and making others show up without pay – it’s mind-boggling, it’s short-sighted, and it’s unfair,” Wray said. “It takes a lot to get me angry, but I’m about as angry as I’ve been in a long, long time.”

THE THREE-WEEK AGREEMENT

A three-week CR will re-open the government temporarily. It must still go through Congress and the funding must be appropriated. In exchange, a bipartisan committee will review the requests from the Department of Homeland Security and other law enforcement for border security.

If nothing reasonable is agreed to in three weeks, the President will either shut the government down again or declare a national emergency.

This week, the President gave in on the State of the Union as Nancy Pelosi insisted. It was viewed as a cave by some. Some might think this is too.

A national emergency declaration will be held up in court and that’s his last card to play, which is why he has hesitated in using that tactic.

Many will see this as a cave to the evil Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, but the guilty people here are the deceitful Democrats who have kept our borders open despite the dangers. They insist on claiming falsely that the border is safer than ever.

Lindsey Graham said the President’s deal is the best thing to do. The President is willing to give amnesty or legalization to 1.1 million DACA. Graham was integral to convincing the President to go ahead with the three-week CR [continuing resolution].

We have some of the President’s speech here:

This is the bottom line at the end of his speech. If he doesn’t get a fair deal, he can either shut down the government again or declare a national emergency:

The RINO’s got their millions in tax breaks, lowered regulations, thousands from the donors and Wall street, they had no reason to back Trump anymore, he was left alone. Let me not forget the infamous Koch Brothers.

It is the same old BS, different day. Many of us are feeling duped today. Wall, what wall? There was a time in early 2017, right after the election, that border arrivals were at their lowest. We had a new sheriff in town and he meant business or so everyone thought. Something happened during these last two years and now we have the worst invasion of our lifetime, according to some border patrol agents. I’m afraid to think that this was the plan all along. We can thank McConnell and Ryan for playing a part in the destruction of our wonderful country. Pray for our President and pray for our country…….

Same old ‘BS’ since 1965 Immigration Bill, ‘Alien Nation,’ continues unabated.

At least Jack Posobiec on his periscope is actually putting the blame on the SENATORS for failing the President. As he says, WHY is no one talking about Mitch McConnell.

For those who are calling for the National Emergency track, I’m not so sure that is an option. There WAS language in the CR that “prevented” the Administration from building certain types of structures along the border. This may supersede any national emergency declaration, or at least give the courts authority to intervene in the interim.

Since I’m not on social media I was able to spend FIVE minutes to consider the reason behind the decision and alternatives. As stated here there is more than just Pelosi and Trump, and even more than what is stated here, namely Republican Senators, and specifically Romney. Even though many around the country view Romney in disgust it is not the case in the Senate. As a former Presidential candidate he will become the “lion of the Senate” by his colleagues. Many of those Senators are beginning to waiver in support and it was only a matter of time before a rebellion would occur. This would have been a far bigger disaster then Trump’s remarks today.

Trump is pretty much alone in his efforts on capital hill. The lackluster support by Congress shows how difficult a position Trump is in. Those like Will Chamberlain and Cernovich who pile on that this is the end of Trump without considering members of Congress’ role are of no help. If Trump would have stood his ground amidst a Senate rebellion of his own party that would have definitely spelled the end. These people are TOO busy with their tweets and retweets to spend time looking at all the angles. How many have predicted the end of the other party after Every election, no matter the outcome.

I certainly hated to see Trump come out and give that speech because it Does give aid and ammunition to the other side. I really get Fed UP with so many people in pundit land giving “advice” as if they could do so much better themselves. It always reminds me of those who are at the bottom of a company believing and saying that management and owners of a company have little effect on the bottom line. They are So Far removed from the daily operations and have no clue with all that is involved. So is it with this. It is no different among those who say they have “sources”. Every “source” has a “purpose”, and most people’s purpose is “self-serving”. What I find almost amusing is how so many of these pontificators “claim” they were THE ones who got Trump elected, as if without “them” he could not have won. Yeah Right!

It is all over for building any real wall, I do not care hear anymore threats from Trump for it is empty words, it will take some sort of 9/11 with thousands dead before Americans wake up to reality of their country being destroyed. God have mercy on this country!
