[0854 EST] - The Democrats want to shut down the Government over Amnesty for all and Border Security. The biggest loser will be our rapidly rebuilding Military, at a time we need it more than ever. We need a merit based system of immigration, and we need it now! No more dangerous Lottery. [0907 EST] - Do you notice the Fake News Mainstream Media never likes covering the great and record setting economic news, but rather talks about anything negative or that can be turned into the negative. The Russian Collusion Hoax is dead, except as it pertains to the Dems. Public gets it! [0919 EST] - “90% of Trump 2017 news coverage was negative” -and much of it contrived!@foxandfriends [0924 EST] - Unemployment for Black Americans is the lowest ever recorded. Trump approval ratings with Black Americans has doubled.
