The Democrats have repeatedly voted to block funding for the Department of Homeland Security. Repeatedly has now reached 12 times with Friday’s vote.
American travelers are spending endless hours in security check lines and missing flights because the Democrats are refusing to fund the DHS. And now the Democrats are admitting their refusal to fund the Department of Homeland Security is “making people hurt.”
According to the Democrats they are doing this to end the practice by ICE of deporting violent criminals, rapists, murderers, sex traffickers, etc. And the Democrats say that they are on the right side of history when it comes to ICE.
This is just looney tunes. Where is their leadership on this?
Rules for thee but not for me.
Did Congressman Eric Swalwell engage in illegal patterns of conduct that reflect his disregard for federal law and a potential abuse of campaign funds for personal benefit?
At issue are two distinct but closely related allegations by Joel Gilbert: first, that Swalwell continued employing a foreign national nanny illegally for two years after her legal work authorization expired; and second, that he illegally used campaign funds to cover what appear to be ongoing personal childcare expenses totaling more than $300,000.
Taken together, these allegations suggest a sustained pattern in which legal requirements were well understood by Swalwell, and then ignored for personal gain.
Federal election law is clear under 52 U.S.C. § 30114(b): campaign funds may not be converted to personal use. Campaign funds may only be used for expenses that arise directly from campaign activity and would not exist otherwise. Personal expenses, those that would exist regardless of candidacy, are strictly prohibited.
But Swalwell is a Democrat so we know that such laws are merely suggestions to them.
Iran is winning the war. We hear this every day from people on the Left and from their allies in the media. These people say that Trump must stop before America is exposed as a paper tiger. What is the situation on the ground?
The fog of war makes this a difficult assessment. However, this is an important note. The US and Israel have full control of Iranian airspace and can hit anything they want with pretty much any weapon they want, as has been noted by the way they have drones taking out individual Basij checkpoints or buildings. Some US/Israeli drones get shot down, but that’s why you fly unmanned drones not manned planes for such missions.
And the life expectancy of Iranian leadership seems to be in the weeks and days range. If Iran is winning, where is the leadership who are leading this winning campaign?
