I love this. Once again the left is just not getting it. They talk to each other in their insulated left-wing world via Hollywood, academia and the enemedia, and they believe that everyone thinks like they do (except the rubes, racists, islamophobes). It’s why they lost. And it is why they will lose again next November.
I love this.

The American people do not like sore losers who riot, burn, obstruct and refuse to accept the results of free fair elections or respect rule of law. Our video shows Democrat politicians inciting to revolution. The American people are seeing the left unmasked for what they really are — totalitarian, intolerant, statist, and violent.
I love this.
The body politic is neither blind, deaf or dumb. The Muslim migration into into Europe has destroyed the continent. Europe is doomed. Thank you, President Trump, for saving us from the same fate.
Despite Protests Poll Reveals Support for Immigration Ban
Israel National News, January 31, 2017:
While a sweeping executive order signed by President Trump last Friday drew furious protests from the left and condemnation from Democratic governors and foreign leaders, American voters strongly back the move, a new poll by Rasmussen Reports shows.
Fulfilling a campaign promise to temporarily halt the entry of asylum seekers and citizens of countries identified as high-risk centers for terrorism, Trump signed the executive order suspending America’s refugee program at the end of his first full week in office until vetting procedures are in place.
Under the new directive, no asylum seekers will be permitted into the US for a period of 120 days. In addition, the order creates a general ban on refugees from Syria for an indefinite period of time. Also, all foreign nationals from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen – including green-card holders – would be barred from entering the United States for 90 days.

The order elicited vocal protest from the left, which held demonstrations at airports across the United States.
But according to a pair of new polls released on Monday, American voters approve of the executive order.
A Rasmussen Reports survey of 1,000 likely voters shows 57% back the temporary ban on refugees from the seven Muslim countries named by the order, while just 33% oppose the move. Similarly, 56% support the temporary entry ban for visa-holders from those same seven nations. Thirty-two percent oppose this measure.
Overwhelming majorities of self-identified Republicans and independents back the refugee ban, while most Democrats oppose it. Eighty-two percent of Republicans said they favored the ban, along with 59% of independents. Democrats were split 53% – 34% against the ban.
A second poll, conducted by Quinnipiac, also suggests Americans back the executive order, albeit by a narrower margin.
According to the Quinnipiac survey of registered voters, 48% back suspending immigration from “terror prone regions”, including refusing entry to refugees from those areas, while 42% opposed such a move.
Broken down by partisan affiliation, 72% of self-identified Republicans say they supported the ban, along with 49% of independents and 24% of Democrats. By contrast, 66% of Democrats, 42% of independents, and 17% of Republicans say they opposed the move.
Meanwhile, President Trump on Monday night fired acting Attorney General Sally Yates, after she instructed Justice Department lawyers not to make legal arguments defending his executive order on immigration and refugees.
“The acting Attorney General, Sally Yates, has betrayed the Department of Justice by refusing to enforce a legal order designed to protect the citizens of the United States. This order was approved as to form and legality by the Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel,” said a White House statement quoted by Politico.
“Ms. Yates is an Obama Administration appointee who is weak on borders and very weak on illegal immigration,” the statement added.
Yates was appointed by former President Barack Obama and would have served until Sen. Jeff Sessions, Trump’s nominee for attorney general, is confirmed.
She will be replaced with the U.S. Attorney in Alexandria, Virginia, Dana Boente.
In a letter to lawyers sent earlier Monday, Yates wrote, “My responsibility is to ensure that the position of the Department of Justice is not only legally defensible, but is informed by our best view of what the law is after consideration of all the facts.”
“In addition, I am responsible for ensuring that the positions we take in court remain consistent with this institution’s solemn obligation to always seek justice and stand for what is right,” she added.
Yates’ decision not to defend it came amid a flood of protests against the executive order nationwide and after four federal judges ruled against Trump’s order, staying its impact on people who were detained at U.S. airports over the weekend.
On Sunday, 16 Democratic state attorneys general blasted the executive order, vowing to fight it and calling his demands “unconstitutional, un-American and unlawful.”
Yates wrote in her letter, according to CNN, “At present, I am not convinced that the defense of the executive order is consistent with these responsibilities nor am I convinced that the executive order is lawful.”
White House policy director Stephen Miller, who helped craft the executive order, called Yates’ decision “a further demonstration of how politicized our legal system has become.”
“It’s sad that our politics have become so politicized, that you have people refusing to enforce our laws,” Miller said Monday night on MSNBC.
Trump clarified on Sunday that the executive order is about security and is not a Muslim ban.
“America is a proud nation of immigrants and we will continue to show compassion to those feeling oppression, but we will do so while protecting our own citizens and border,” he said, adding, “To be clear, this is not a Muslim ban, as the media is falsely reporting. This is not about religion – this is about terror and keeping our country safe.”
In a related development , it was reported that the state of Washington will challenge President Donald Trump’s executive order banning immigration from some Muslim-majority states in federal court, Attorney General Bob Ferguson said on Monday, according to Reuters.
In doing so, Washington will be the first state to take on the executive order that went into effect on Friday.
Washington State Governor Jay Inslee, a Democrat, said it was important for the Trump administration to face lawsuits from the state itself, and not just cases filed by individuals who have been impacted by the order.
“It is an insult and a danger to all of the people of the state of Washington, of all faiths,” Inslee was quoted by Reuters as having told reporters on Monday.
The executive order has been met with outrage among Americans who have taken to the streets to protest it.
Meanwhile on Monday, former President Barack Obama joined in the criticism of Trump, saying he supports the demonstrations which have broken out around the country against the presidential order and adding that “American values are in danger.”
Jewish organizations also weighed in with their opinions and perspective on Trump’s controversial executive order on immigration from seven Muslim countries. In a statement sent to the media via e-mail, the Agudath Israel said: “The immense contributions of immigrants to American life need no elaboration, nor does the importance of immigration to our great nation. The world refugee crisis, moreover, must compel our deep concern for those fleeing persecution, as did so many of our own forebears. President Trump’s recent executive order seeks to protect the nation’s citizens from terrorism, an unarguably honorable quest.”
Adding a note of caution, the Orthodox organization said, “We urge the administration to continue to evaluate the geopolitical situation and exercise great deliberation as it forges a permanent immigration policy, so that what results will well balance security concerns with human and religious rights.”
The Rabbinical Council of America (the nation’s leading Orthodox rabbinic organization in North America) and the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America (the nation’s largest Orthodox Jewish umbrella organization), reaffirmed the position that they took on this issue in December of 2015. In a written statement to the media on Monday, they said: “We call on all Americans to reaffirm that discrimination against any group based solely upon religion is wrong and anathema to the great traditions of religious and personal freedoms upon which this country was founded.”
They added that, “we recognize that the complex issues that face us in ensuring the safety and security from terror of innocents and free societies throughout the world need to be addressed, but need to be done in sober and responsible ways. We call upon….the United States government to recognize the threats posed by radical Islamists, while preserving and protecting the rights of all people who seek peace, no matter how they worship God.”
The leaders of the Union for Reform Judaism, the Central Conference of American Rabbis and the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, issued the following statement on behalf of the Reform Jewish Movement: “We call on President Trump to rescind this abhorrent executive order. Every member of Congress must denounce its provisions, including the imposition of a religious test for entry, and urge its immediate repeal. Every American citizen must take every possible action to oppose this violation of America’s greatness.”
They added, “In the days, weeks and years that follow, we will work with our clergy, lay leaders, institutions and congregations to provide assistance and support to immigrants, refugees, asylum-seekers and others yearning for the refuge and opportunity for a better life that we know the United States, at its best, can provide.”

Yes, the country wanted freedom over socialist central control. Like i always say, look closely at the professionally printed signs, you will see communist groups, socialist groups and soros (communist) groups. NONE of these “protesters” are good people. Best thing that could happen is that Trump round them up and send them off to cuba or some other communist crap hole. Treat them like they demand to be treated.

Trump does recognize that the winds have changed. Contrary to the prior administration here in the U.S.A., the majority of Americans are finally coming around to see for themselves that we can no longer coddle the Islamist’s who promote heinous conduct, conduct that was pooh poohed by the prior administration who would not even call that conduct the product of Islamic extremism (radicalism), and now is seen for what it is in reality. This has nothing to do with the absolute Constitutional privilege of practicing one’s religion, although so many in the media and the ultra-liberals falsely claim that the hold orders are in violation of religious rights. Though, admittedly, the order does affect Islamic believers, it does not deny them the right to practice their religious beliefs, assuming they practice those beliefs without promoting and preaching totalitarianism and dominance thru their unreasonable belief that their God, thru Sharia, has mandated that all non-Islamic’s must submit only to their belief system. Simply put, the order is in effect to stop the entry of those who would pursue death and destruction justification thru their belief system, until we can develop a vetting system that keeps the radicals within their belief system out of this country. I hope that Europe also comes to the realization that you need to immediately do likewise or suffer severe consequences.

“On Sunday, 16 Democratic state attorneys general blasted the executive order, vowing to fight it and calling his demands “unconstitutional, un-American and unlawful”. Why are state attorneys so determined to protect muslims? The rape of a 5 year old girl was mocked by the twin falls prosecutor. Shame on attorneys that are not just, but are just dhimmi.

There are so many wrongs that have to be made right, President Trump will have to be either very efficient, get lots of help, or have at least ten terms of office.

The Rabbinical Council of America faces an interesting ethical challenge. They don’t want to discriminate on the basis of religion. On the surface, that seems fine. It’s a time-honored reasoning method about political and religious tolerance. It mainly comes from the philosopher John Locke, whose ideas were very influential with the Founders.
The rule works well if the population in question is heterogeneous, but mainly moral in a Western sense. But consider the worst case, where a certain population is 100% genocidal? How will tolerance help? Early Americans faced this in the Barbary wars. The Muslim pirates were almost all dedicated to piracy, pillage, and slavery. If they demurred, they would not have become pirates. Eventually, Jefferson and the others spent years attacking the pirates and diminishing their power. They stopped worrying about tolerance.
So is it fair to exclude every immigrant who follows the Koran devoutly? I think Jefferson would say yes. The Rabbinical Council may agree eventually. But I await their opinion. Jews have thousands of years of experience dealing with genocidal religious fanatics. The Arab Nabateans preceded the Arabic Muslims. And the Israelites had to fight them too.

Funny that the rabbis love for the US to be the dumping ground for the world but want to keep Israel for their own people. In fact, Israel discriminates on who it allows to enter the country. The US has as much right to do so as Israel.
It is time to recognize the islam is not a garden variety religious, but a seditious socio-political system, which spreads and kills its host. Thank god we have the antidote, President Trump.

Hi wily,
Yes, good points. Notice that this comes from the Rabbinical Council of America. These guys are all Americans, and they are trying to conform to the fundamental American principles of tolerance for others. But as we have all learned in the last few years, ‘tolerance’ is not the same as being endlessly ‘nice’, or letting people get away with violence.
Islamists and socialists mistake tolerance for ‘niceness’, or ‘submission’. They think we are push-overs. So did the Japanese. After we bombed Japan relentlessly until the Japanese quit fighting, we were very tolerant with the Japanese people. No revenge, no genocide, just a helping hand out of the rubble. But WWII wasn’t ‘nice’.

I appreciate the title of this article calling Trump’s executive order an immigration ban since it is not a travel ban as misrepresented by the enemedia, political opponents and inadvertently some supporters, and unfortunately even Admin reps have used the media’s title of “travel ban” when they have tried to explain what it really is. The order was a 90 day suspension of new visas and immigration processing along with increased security vetting of existing visas and other immigration status like green cards. No one was barred from entering the country from any of those 7 countries if they had valid authority and didn’t pose a threat. The courts did not block or stay his order but only interfere with some of the administrative handling of detainees, and even those orders will be reversed on appeal, just for the record. Trump’s order continues to be implemented this moment and the weekend would have passed without any special attention if he didn’t announce the order and if the planned spontaneous protests didn’t happen. How do we spell fake news? This is it.

It is no small wonder that voters supported the national security measure to get immigration under control since it ranked only second to the economy as the issue most concerning to them. By that criteria and with your only choices Trump or Hillary, on whom would you rely?

Actually, 57% support Trumps’ ban, 33% oppose it, and the rest are undecided.
About 15% of the US electorate are socialists, far-left economically, and far-left socially (Pew Research). That 15% would oppose Trump if he sneezed. They are the kernel of the MSM, and the trouble makers, and they are inside the 33% who oppose the ban. They are convinced that conservatism = death camps. I’m serious.
That leaves about 18% who are not socialists, but they still oppose the ban.
And that is our job. Its that softer 18% that we need to communicate more with. They are not driven by dogma, and they can be convinced by our efforts,

Remember how accurate the polls were about the election that Donald Trump won? Using that as a basis, I would think the 60% is done with an inverted 9, and should actually read “90%”. Precedence for this amount of inaccuracy already exists.
