Make California Great Again: No DACA! No "DREAM Act"!

Arthur,
Yesterday, President Trump said he would sign a DACA bill that would grant amnesty to DREAMers. We must not let this happen!
If a DACA amnesty of any kind is granted, it will surely mean another conservative president will never be elected again. Overwhelmingly, 65-80% of those granted amnesty will vote Democrat no matter what. Please remember that President Trump won states like Michigan by very slim margins. Even after Reagan granted amnesty, Republicans never won the Latino vote and illegal immigration actually increased.

As it is, our lawful immigration rates are over 1 Million per year and are completely unsustainable, not counting those here illegally. The vast majority will vote Democrat.
THAT'S WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP! Will you help us stop DACA by contacting Republicans legislators?
  1. Call the White House comment line: 202-456-1111
  2. Call your Representative: 202-883-4964
  3. Call Speaker Ryan: 202-858-3626
  4. Call Majority Leader McConnell: 202-759-7684
  5. Message President Trump and his kids, your Congressman, Speaker Ryan, and Majority Leader McConnell on social media.

Business hours are 9am-4pm EST. Let's melt their phone lines every day this week!
We must act now and make our voices heard! Visit www.stopdaca.org to help stop DACA.

Maine GOP Releases Statement on President Trump's SOTU Address

PRESS RELEASE
For Immediate Release: January 30, 2018
Contact: Garrett Murch, garrettmurch@mainegop.com
 
Maine GOP Chair Statement on State of the Union Address

AUGUSTA—Today, Maine Republican Party Chair Dr. Demi Kouzounas made the following statement following tonight's State of the Union Address:

"Tonight we heard great news from the President on Maine's and America's future. Our economy is in a major upswing, with unemployment at a 17-year low and wages rising after decades of stagnation. Paychecks are growing even more due to tax cuts for working people and small businesses that Senator Collins and Congressman Poliquin played crucial roles in fine-tuning. Unfair trade practices that have particularly hurt Maine are finally being addressed instead of being ignored. Our military is being rebuilt to give us peace through strength. And for the first time in a decade, we are getting back to a 'new normal' of hope and prosperity for the future. Our ship of state is now heading back in the right direction."

#TrainCrash: Rep. Bruce Poliquin is in Good Shape

A terrible train crash occurred in Virginia. The car was filled with House Reps and US Senators who were withdrawing for a retreat in West Virginia.

The train crashed into a dump truck on the tracks, and despite the shameful chorus of praise from evil liberal opponents, all the House Reps and US Senators are safe.



There has been one fatality, sadly. More news will be forthcoming from the public soon.

Here is a statement from the Maine Republican Party regarding the safety of Rep. Bruce Poliquin:


Friends,

I know there is concern about how Bruce is doing after the train he was on this morning crashed. Here is what he told me about it himself:

"My heart aches for the families of the truck driver who perished and for the man now struggling for his life. We who were on the train are shaken, but we will be fine.

Life is precious and fragile. Every day is a blessing. Please hug your kids and loved ones every chance you get."

-Congressman Bruce Poliquin (ME-02)

The White House: The State of Our Union

This eblast was a welcome statement from the White House.

I am so proud of our President, who recognizes the state of OUR union!

Please enjoy!

The state of our union 
“Less than one year has passed since I first stood at this podium, in this majestic chamber, to speak on behalf of the American People,” President Donald J. Trump began his address last night. “Each day since, we have gone forward with a clear vision and a righteous mission—to make America great again for all Americans.”
The President’s speech is available in full here. He spoke from the heart about a core set of issues that unite Americans of all stripes in both their values and their patriotism:
  • Tax reform and the economy: “Just as I promised the American people from this podium 11 months ago, we enacted the biggest tax cuts and reform in American history. . . . Roughly 3 million workers have already gotten tax cut bonuses.”
  • Reshaping Washington: “In our drive to make Washington accountable, we have eliminated more regulations in our first year than any administration in the history of our country.”
  • Immigration reform: “Struggling communities, especially immigrant communities, will also be helped by immigration policies that focus on the best interests of American workers and American families.”
  • Getting trade right: “America has also finally turned the page on decades of unfair trade deals that sacrificed our prosperity and shipped away our companies, our jobs, and our wealth.”
  • Rebuilding our infrastructure: “America is a nation of builders. We built the Empire State Building in just one year – isn’t it a disgrace that it can now take ten years just to get a minor permit approved for the building of a simple road?”
  • Keeping America safe: “I am proud to report that the coalition to defeat ISIS has liberated very close to 100 percent of the territory just recently held by these killers in Iraq and in Syria.”

“As long as we are proud of who we are and what we are fighting for, there is nothing we cannot achieve,” the President said. “As long as we have confidence in our values, faith in our citizens, and trust in our God, we will never fail.”
“Together, we are building a safe, strong, and proud America.”

Trolling Jimmy Kimmel: Trump Supporters Take On Liberal Hollywood Talk Show Host

Jimmy Kimmel is an arrogant, hard-nosed liberal. He has turned his late-night comedy show into a social justice warrior anti-Trump hate-fest. He worked overtime to take down Judge Roy Moore during his general election bid for Alabama's open US Senate seat.

It was really shameful how he behaved. Not only that, but for the last six months, he has sought to shame Republicans and conservatives in general for repealing Obamacare. He brought his own children into the mix in a brazen attempt to shame elected officials and bait the public.

I got to meet him--and meet his arrogant, elitist attitude head on.

ABC Casting had reached out to me during Election 2016 and then another time. They were hoping to get me and other Trump supporters in Los Angeles County to speak out in support for President Trump and his agenda.

I am glad that I was not on his show two years ago. I have no idea how he would have reacted then, especially because he like many of the arrogant, Hollywood liberal glitterati, were convinced that Trump didn't stand a chance of winning the election.

We all know how that turned out. Someone needs to remind me if Kimmel pledged to move to Canada when Trump became President ...

Anyway, the casting director invited us to Kimmel's theater because we were opponents to DACA, the Deferred Action of Childhood Arrivals progrram imposed on this country by Barack Obama, which was unconstitutional at the outset.

All six of us know where we stand on illegal immigration, and we intended to make it clear to Kimmel and his prospective audience that we are about American citizens and the needs of our countrymen. We want to put Americans First, and we want to ensure that the whole country understands where we stand on the enforcement of our borders and the integrity of our nation’s sovereignty.

Kimmel's theater is right next to the El Capitan on Hollywood Blvd. Both are owned by the Disney Company, which also owns ABC.

I wore a t-shirt with a picture of Ruben Morfin, the 13-year old American boy killed by an illegal alien. I also proudly wore my Make California Great Again cap.



Here's the image of Ruben on a larger quilt:




The six of us walked into this event, prepared for anything.

The other five participants with me were:

Celeste Grieg
Robin Hvidston
Chanell Temple
Laurie Monsanto
Wes Parker

We have debated and discussed this issue from every angle, and we were prepared to the every end to defend the United States, both its people and its culture, as well as the rule of law.

The security detail outside of the theater informed all of us to go to the back of the building. We arrived and we signed in, then we went through a long corridor in the back.

This photo was the first one along the wall:




It's quite clear to anyone paying attention where Kimmel's alliances lie. He just loves Obama, everything about him, enough that he cherishes this photo above all the others.

Immediately, I decided to fix it:




All of us knew what we were stepping into. We know the abject liberalism of Kimmel, and the photo above proved it all.

The staff were kind to us, and they made us feel at home. They interviewed each of us separately in an editing room so that we would feel comfortable. They also asked our opinion about the different Presidential candidates who had run against Trump in 2016.

Then the casting director called each of us to go outside, and we sat on the steps in front of Kimmel's theater. I recorded a few moments right before I had the interview:



My friends and I then went into "The Green Room" for a little break until all six of us had been interviewed by Kimmel on the steps.

We all started talking with one another, and we were convinced that Kimmel was going to have a young DACA recipient. He was going to try and shame us for our views on enforcing immigration laws.

And we were right!

A young lady name Esmeralda came to one of the couches, and she was holding a young child. Before Kimmel began speaking, I showed Esmeralda the picture of Young Ruben Morfin on my shirt:



Kimmel basically tried to shame us, making it seem like we were a bunch of heartless bigots.

But he made a huge mistake. We were all well-educated on the games that the media try to play on conservatives. For me, I did not even believe that this "Esmeralda" lady was actually a DACA recipient.

One of the first things I mentioned was that we need to put the needs of American children first, not illegals. I pointed out that the Republicans have funded the CHIP program for another six years, despite the Democrats’ attempts to shut down the government and prevent the funding from going forward. I knew that was going to set off Kimmel, since he had demagogued the issue for the last month, claiming that Republicans were determined to cut funding for children’s health programs.

HA HA!

Esmeralda was presented to us as someone who had been brought into this country at two years old by her parents, who had entered illegally. The little child in her arms would move around and show her arms, too. We learned that she has committed no (other) crimes. She pays taxes. She is also studying to be a nurse. Of course we knew that Kimmel would go to great lengths to provide the best type of "DACA" recipient. 

He refused to acknowledge that up to 50% of DACA recipients are fraudulent. He also didn't want to hear that more illegals are committing crimes that native-born residents.

Kimmel wanted us to justify our determination for our nation's immigration laws to be enforced. Wes Parker slammed Kimmel for trying to put our compassion on trial. This country has been good to illegals, especially considering that Mexico furnishes the national guard along their country's southern border--and they shoot at anyone who tries to enter the country from Central America.

Chanell Temple provided us a picture of her five-year old daughter, who passed away because she could not get adequate health coverage, yet illegals have access of all kinds to taxpayer subsidized health insurance, food stamps, housing vouchers, etc. Where is the justice for black communities ravaged by illegal immigration?

Chanell Temple was unstoppable. She referenced the civil rights issues, the plight of black communities, and the need for safety for American citizens.

Celeste Grieg is an immigrant herself, born in Barcelona, Spain. It took her six months to achieve legal residency. She became a fully naturalized citizen five years later. It took her five years. Why should illegal aliens be permitted to jump ahead of all the law-abiding legal residents?

Robin Hvidston insisted on ensuring that Americans in need were placed first in terms of priority for all Americans. She provided a calm, poised set of facts, and refused to be bullied on her point of view. 

I added that American dreamers like Ruben would never have their dreams come true. A few times, Kimmel told me to shut up, though, when I was offering some reasons why it's fully within the citizens' rights in this country to put the needs of Americans first and fully enforce our immigration laws.

Then Kimmel brought in Esmeralda's fiancé. He introduced himself as an American working for the Kansas Correctional System. He is a citizen who also serves in this country's military. The two adults facing us went to great lengths to present themselves as conservatives, as hearty down-to-earth people. It really seemed like an act at the point.

The liberal talk-show host really thought he had us backed into a corner. He would learn very quickly that we could--and would--turn the tables on him.

At one point, Kimmel mocked me, saying "I don't think you have any friends." He then asked if I had had a lobotomy. It was pretty obvious he was doing everything he could to make me angry. Instead of getting upset, I laughed at him and called out his intolerance. He really didn't want me to speak because I was knowledgeable on the issues. I talked about how illegal aliens are committing twice the rate of crimes compared to American citizens. When I cited an article published in the Washington Times, he dismissed it as "fake news." Laurie countered back with "The New York Times if fake news."

From the outset, Kimmel intended to shut me down about my "Set of facts." No matter what he tried to do, I refused to let him bully me or silence me.

Wes Parker made a great statement in the midst of the focus group discussion: "The rule of law is the most compassionate form of government." Mexico is falling into a violent, failed state precisely because the corrupt federal and state governments.

Chanell talked at great length about the terrible crimes which black Americans have endured because of illegal immigration. Her children were forced to move out of state because they  could not find work. Chanell herself lost her job because she could not speak Spanish. Why does she have to speak a foreign language in her own country to find work? This is ridiculous.

Kimmel would eventually try one more time to shut me down--and I do admit I had to give my fellow panelists time to speak. When Laurie talked about the need to put Americans first, including our homeless veterans and foster children, Kimmel started talking over her at length. I called him out on that: "What is it, Jimmy? Why won't you let her speak? Is it because of the color of her skin, that she is a Latina for Trump?"

Immediately, Kimmel yelled at me: "Shut up, you asshole!"

I laughed out loud—Kimmel was TRIGGERED!

At the end of the forum, all of us got up and left. I felt no ill will toward Kimmel or the crew. In fact, John the production director gave me a high-five and said: "You guys did great! You held your ground!"

Indeed we did!

Even Kimmel went over to shake my hand. I asked him to apologize, and he did.

Then I trolled him!



You will hear him say "I think that California is already great."

For whom?

And here's a great photo for posterity:



Final Reflection

Just like President Trump, his supporters in California are prepared to take on the left-wing media and entertainment industries with grace and aplomb. We know that we need to get the message out, and especially in blue areas as well as blue states.

Kimmel thought that he would have us all lined up like sitting decks when he presented us with a sympathy case of a DACA recipient, her daughter, and her husband to be. A number of times, we urged the man to marry Esmeralda right on the spot. That arrangement would place her on a legal pathway to citizenship. My father is ordained to administer weddings, and I even offered to call him to officiate!

Celeste Grieg said that she would raise the money for them to have a wonderful wedding, too. At one point, I urged Kimmel to adopt the child if he was so worried about the little girl being separate from her mother or having to go back to live in Mexico.

At another point, when Kimmel was mocking me about dangerous conditions, I announced to everyone who Hollywood has been frequently defending rapists and pedophiles, along with the whole #MeToo allegations. Everyone was shocked when I called the industry out on all of that!

All in all, the focus group with Kimmel and the "DACA recipient" was a big win for us, regardless of whatever the editors put together for tonight's episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act: How Did Your Senator Vote?

The United States Congress is working on curtailing abortion on demand, finally.



Despite the conservative, pro-life culture in the United States, this country has one of the most liberal abortion laws in the world. North Korea and China have similar abortion laws, sadly:
It's truly heart-breaking to see this legislation not get passed cloture.


Here is how the US Senators voted on preserving human life ex utero:

Whitehouse (D-RI)
Wyden (D-OR)
Not Voting - 3
Baldwin (D-WI)
McCain (R-AZ)

Nelson (D-FL)

Two Republicans voted no: Collins and Murkowski, who are very liberal Republicans. John McCain is still missing votes because of his long-term illness. At some point, he need to announce his retirement. The people of Arizona deserve an active representative in the US Senate.

Only Two Democrats voted for the bill: Bob Casey of Pennsyvlania, and Joe Manchin of West Virginia. They need to ensure some kind of independence in their tough re-election bids this year. I am surprised that Heidi Heitkamp and other Red State Democrats would vote against this piece of legislation. It is so common-sense, it is nonsensical to reject it.

Two other Red State Democrats sat out the vote: Bill Nelson of Florida and Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin. Where's the courage?



These Democrats are making a big mistake not voting for this bill ... and then again, even if they do vote for it, their votes against Tax Reform, Obamacare Repeal, and security of our borders is going to hurt them immensely in November.
