Her parents owe their lives to the United States accepting them as asylum seekers fleeing religious persecution in Iraq in the 1980s. She wouldn't be here if we had not offered her family safe haven.

The hypocrisy is stunning.
Habba: There were individuals that were saying that this should be a safe harbor, a safe haven. Why? America is America because we protect our own.

Senator Kelly is correct.

Plus a Public Service Announcement:

KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.

The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet.

The War on Christmas is not a fight against Christianity, tradition, or joy—it’s a battle against billionaires and corporations who believe obscene wealth entitles them to buy policy, widen income inequality, and push the rest of us into servitude. Your wallet is your weapon. Use it wisely.

If you agree, call or e-mail your reps in DC and tell them to do something about it. It only takes a few minutes and it doesn't cost any money. We don't need money in politics. We just need people to participate. Also see Initiative No. 1 on my website: www.nationalfinancialplan.com
