Trump’s Chile Pepper Recipe

By Ben Garrison

We finally have a president who is willing to stand up to China and Mexico. Trump’s tariffs are well justified.

For far too long, the Communist Chinese tyrants took advantage of our country at every turn, thanks to the Clintons, both Bush presidents, and Obama.

Congress has been complicit. Large campaign donations from China were involved.

Now it’s Mexico’s turn. Also for far too long, the corrupt, quasi-narco state of Mexico has allowed a free flow of drugs across our southern border along with tens of millions of illegal aliens–Mexican and otherwise. Congress has been complicit and possibly bribed to allow this.

President Trump’s campaign cornerstone was the wall. Very little of it has been built because Congress (including some Republicans) just won’t go along. The Democrats subscribe to Merkel’s multilateral globalism. Soros and Merkel helped flood Europe with multi races, multi religions, and multi-cultural diversity. As a result, there has been a nationalist uprising due to the rising crime rates. Merkel hates nationalism and walls. She said as much during a speech at Harvard—that vile institution that keeps our country well plied with globalist functionaries.

Trump claims to be a nationalist. That’s a good thing. ‘America first’ is a good thing. There’s nothing wrong with making America great again. The left hates this—they hate America and have never thought it was great, nor do they want to see Trump succeed. They want America’s destruction. They want America to become another socialist hellhole. They want to focus on bunk such as the costly ‘climate change’ as well as ‘diversity’ and ‘equality.’

The stock market looks crashy as a result of Trump’s tactic, but that’s just too bad. Avocados may become pricier. Also boo hoo, too bad. Nobody said there wouldn’t be pain involved.

It’s necessary to stop the Republic’s downfall, which will be a lot more painful.

The Mexicans, Guatemalans, Hondurans, and every other young Tom, Dick and José come here waving their own flags.

They’re not going to help America become great again. They’re coming here to replace American culture with their own.

They’re conquerors out to take advantage of our egalitarianism, which they must see as weakness. (It is weakness). The invaders won’t appreciate the free stuff they receive. As stated in the movie, Starship Troopers, “Something given has no basis in value!”

To me, that means if it’s not earned, it’s not appreciated. They need to earn citizenship like the legal immigrants do.

The latter want to become Americans and to do so they must learn our language, our customs, our Constitution, and our heritage. If they’re much more proud of their own countries and culture than America, then that’s fine.

Becoming an American citizen should not be as easy as stepping over a border illegally.

China and Mexico are not, and never have been our friends. Trump is doing the right thing.

Facebook Handed Over Private Data To A Convicted Hacker, Who Used It To Dox A Private Citizen

Via Big League Politics

Facebook has thus far not commented to Big League Politics regarding the assistance they provided Daily Beast journalist and former convicted hacker Kevin Poulsen in doxxing the formerly private citizen who shared the viral meme of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi appearing to speak even less clearly than usual.

Poulsen bragged about receiving private information directly from Facebook about Shawn Brooks, the man who uploaded the viral video of Pelosi that was slightly edited to make her appear less coherent than usual from big tech platform Facebook in his hit piece.

But a Facebook official, confirming a Daily Beast investigation, said the video was first posted on Politics WatchDog directly from Brooks’ personal Facebook account.

From this it is unclear exactly how much information Facebook provided about Brooks, but it appears Facebook may have completely outed Brooks’ identity.

Facebook has a history of compromising user data through leaks and accidental overreaches of third party application developers, but this may represent the first time Facebook has ever willingly turned over user data.

It is not entirely clear whether Facebook furnished Poulsen, a former black hat hacker who fled charges after he “was indicted on 19 counts of conspiracy, fraud, wiretapping and money laundering,” with the information regarding his identity, and thus far Facebook has declined to provide comment to Big League Politics.

In Poulsen’s article, he writes that “According to the [Facebook] official, there were indeed six other accounts registered alongside Brooks as page administrators,” and goes on to say that “the company determined last week that all six of them were controlled by Brooks.”

This would appear to suggest Facebook provided a great deal of information to Poulsen that he would otherwise have had little access to.

America Looks Increasingly Like a One Party State

Via American Greatness

There was a time, perhaps last in the mid-1960s, when this country had two viable political parties that represented two practical views of government. Both had many principles in common and both regularly were granted executive power from the voters.

Since that time one party, the Republicans, in its befuddled and often frustrating way, has continued to represent at least some semblance of a cogent set of ideals and practical political arrangements.

The Democrats, no longer an actual political party as we commonly understand the term, has devolved into a rabid alliance of grievance mongers more concerned with getting federal loot than they are in the welfare of the nation as a whole.

We won’t count the Libertarian Party, because really . . . who does?

The Democrats have achieved this status by cleverly exploiting the resentment and bitterness of groups that at one time had bona fide grievances with American society. To name two, blacks and women.

Chinese Communist Party Funding Campus ‘Confucius Institutes’ Around America

Via Campus Reform

Over the past several years, Chinese government-funded Confucius Institutes have received scrutiny from legislators and the broader public over their agreements with U.S. colleges to teach Chinese language and culture to students across the country.

U.S. intelligence agencies have labeled Confucius Institutes as threats because of their associations with the Chinese Communist Party, according to reports obtained by the Washington Free Beacon last year.

“The [Chinese Communist Party] provides ‘strings-attached’ funding to academic institutions and think tanks to deter research that casts it in a negative light,” the unclassified portion of the report reads. “It has used this tactic to reward pro-China viewpoints and coerce Western academic publications and conferences to self-censor. The CCP often denies visas to academics who criticize the regime, encouraging many China scholars to preemptively self-censor so they can maintain access to the country on which their research depends.”

First, They Came for Mark Twain. Now, They’re Coming for Mel Brooks

Via PJ Media

Forty-five years ago, Mel Brooks made what many critics agree is the single, funniest film in Hollywood history. Blazing Saddles is not only an iconic comedy, but its social message about racism is also among the finest examples of using satire to make a serious point that you could find.

Now, four decades after it was released, the film has come under fire by social justice warriors because of its portrayal of white racism as comedy. Indeed, it’s hysterically funny.
