Traitors to the middle class: Kamala Harris, Mike Lee, Zoe Lofgren, Ken Buck, and of course the Koch Bros.
A plan known as the Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act
introduced in the Senate by Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Sen. Kamala Harris
(D-CA), as well as Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) and Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO),
would eliminate the U.S. country caps in the legal immigration system
that would fast track outsourcing of white-collar American jobs to
mostly Indian and Chinese nationals imported to the country by
businesses, outsourcing firms, and multinational corporations.
Ridiculous budget deal chops Trump's previous wimpy immigration enforcement request by 75%
This is what you get when no one is serious about the immigration problem, including Donald Judas Trump.
The tentative deal includes $1.375 billion for physical barriers — a type of fencing that resembles the “steel slats” that Trump has specifically called for, according to a congressional aide briefed on the talks. It includes a total of 55 miles, which is just 9 miles shy of Trump’s last budget request. ...
The final deal is only slightly higher than Democrats' offer of $1.3 billion for border fencing and falls far short of Trump's demand for $5.7 billion in border wall funding that led to the government shutdown in December. And if Trump doesn't agree to sign the bill, negotiators could be back at square one, staring down another potential shutdown later this week.

WaPo's just following the lead of the FBI, which gave Hillary a pass on an oath or a record
Good to be a Democrat.
Ilhan Omar is the Somali-American version of Hank Johnson, except she's armed with a dagger
The Weathermen blew themselves up, too. I'll take stupid over stupid and vicious anyday.
LOL, George Soros says European Union may go away just like Soviet Union did, blames existence of political parties and freedom!
The disappearance of the Soviet Union was a good thing, but obviously not to George Soros.
The existence of political parties is a manifestation of freedom, but Georgie Boy obviously would prefer a one-party state, complete with police-state powers to impose its will.
This guy really is as awful as people say. The socialist mushrooms popping up in the Democrat-controlled US House must mean to him it's now an opportune time to say these things openly.
In his own words:
"Europe is sleepwalking into oblivion, and the people of Europe need to wake up before it is too late. If they don’t, the European Union will go the way of the Soviet Union in 1991. ... anti-European forces will enjoy a competitive advantage in the balloting. There are several reasons for this, including the outdated party system that prevails in most European countries, the practical impossibility of treaty change, and the lack of legal tools for disciplining member states that violate the principles on which the European Union was founded."
Lol, Limbaugh keeps trying to point everyone away from the Dec 20th transcript
He just claimed the instant message story was Dec 19th when it was Dec 20th.
Check your own archives, Rush!
Rush Limbaugh 12/20/2018: "Trump had better not sign that", 10 minutes later gets instant message
Lol, Rush is pretending again today that it's just a coincidence he got the instant message right after warning Trump on 12/20:
The President Tells Me It’s Money or Nothing
... If it’s that, then Trump had better not sign that. There has to be
some serious appropriation. So, I mean, it’s time for applause.
(clapping) Yes. This is a great, great first step. But it’s not a
full-fledged veto. Not that we want a veto; don’t misunderstand. This is
simply the president telling the Republicans, “I’m not signing this.
There’s no border security in it.” So now the Republicans are gonna go
back and put some border security in their version of the continuing
resolution. We’ll know what that is soon enough.
Then when they finish doing that and they vote on it — and it will
pass — they’ll send it over to The Turtle, Mitch McConnell in the
Senate, and then they will deal with it. The Senate was very happy to
have not a penny in this CR for border security. So it looks like the
onus now is… It looks like it’s on the House, but it’s actually gonna be
on the Senate, because we have to assume the House is gonna put
something in this. Meadows was dead serious about this. Ryan? I don’t
know. But it’s still his House. He’s still speaker for a while. So
that’s where we are. But it’s great news that the president refused to
sign this.
Now we have to keep our eyes on what they come up with as border security.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Okay, folks, this is good. This is interesting. I just got a
phone call. Well, I got an instant message. It’s the equivalent of you
getting a phone call. That’s how people communicate with me,
particularly during the program. It’s impossible to use the phone during
the program. Anyway, I just said less than 10 minutes ago in my
translation of what’s happened here, “The president told Republicans
he’s not going to sign this. It’s not a veto yet, but he’s not gonna
sign it until there’s border security in it.” ...
So I get this direct message: “You tell Rush that if there’s no money
in this, it’s getting vetoed. If there’s no money — if there’s no money
for a wall — I’m vetoing this, plain and simple.” This was the message
that I just got, and I trust it and I believe it to be the case. By the
way, it’s a legitimate question. I mean, the way the media reports this —
and it was not just the media. It was Paul Ryan saying, “The president
cares deeply about border security. So we’re gonna go back and we’re
gonna get some border security in this thing.
Richard Spencer's cuckery is on display when he attacks Boomer morality when what he really means is Christian morality
Spencer is servile to the hegemony of the status quo just as much as anybody, where publicly attacking religion is still verboten, so he veils it by attaching it to an easier target, a demographic cohort, the new elderly. It's not a coincidence that the godless right and left view the most vulnerable in society as the prime enemies of the good life.
Pace Spencer, the chief impediment to the success of race identity in America isn't ideology. It's capital, stored by the 78 million who own and occupy their homes (73% of whites, 58% of Asians, 47% of Hispanics, 42% of blacks). They don't want violence in the streets in front of their homes no matter what color it takes, whether it comes from Black Lives Matter, Antifa, MS-13, the KKK or Unite the Right. They want law and order. Republicans win when they run on that.

By the way, electricity from renewables is up 268% in 2017 from 2007, but . . .
renewables still provide less than 10% of total generation.
Unfortunately, America produced less total electricity in 2017 than it did in 2007, too, by 3.1%.
And the price of a kilowatthour is up 14.8%.
Reducing energy production and making it more expensive is no way to grow an economy, son.
Condescending racism, NYT's style: People in black face can go back to being white, but not black people!
OMG! Black people have to be black ALL THE TIME. The horror, the horror.
