Donald Trump. I’m still having a hard time figuring out how I feel about him. Before he announced his candidacy, I thought he was a loudmouth braggart with a ridiculous haircut, and thought about him in the same vein as I did a Kardashian. However, immigration is the number one issue with me. I live in Texas and I see the effects of it every day. Every. Single. Day. I’m also seeing the effects of the sneaky, slimy “Refugee Resettlement” racket that’s being secretly forced on us. I’m constantly running into groups of people speaking some kind of an African language, in grocery stores, department stores, Sam’s Club and the malls in the area. I live in West Texas! What are they doing here? Do we really need more people? And then there is the plethora of head scarves and Asians that do not speak English as their first language. Everywhere. I think if more people knew about this refugee racket there would be a line of pitchforks from here to Washington.
Back to Donald Trump. It pains me that he is so obnoxious and ungracious, but the fact that he’s talking without a teleprompter makes me cut him a little slack. The fact that he initiated the conversation on immigration means a lot more. Nobody else would make a peep about it if not for him. I think we do need a wall. I also think that just changing our policy and putting illegals on notice would be a game changer. Imagine if the government said “OK, we are going to start enforcing our immigration laws. If you are here illegally, you have six months to get your affairs in order and go back to your country of origin. You control your timeline. After this period of time, wherever we come in contact with you, whether it’s at the gas station, grocery store or any other public or private place, including your home, we will start the return process for you”. Now, illegals can’t even be inconvenienced. People would leave in droves. The pieces would fall in place and we could finally start to get a handle on the problem.
I’ve always considered the Democrats the party of evil and the Republicans the Stupid Party. And they are stupid. Ha, I’m starting to sound like Trump. They actually spend so much time pandering to people that will never vote for them any way, that they never take time to think of the alternative. What they don’t get, is that there are plenty of Hispanics that want the illegals to go home also. They understand that the illegals compete with them not only for jobs, but for resources. If Republicans would make a stand for the law, they would increase support not only from Hispanics, but from EVERY other group of people, including the whites that haven’t left their sofas for the last couple of elections.
I’m going to keep listening and see where all this goes. I guess if I could vote for McCain, I could vote for anybody given the right circumstance. I still feel slimy about that one and I haven’t quite forgiven myself.

I feel your pain. I really do.
When you go out into the world and see this unnatural transformation, remember one thing: no one loves an empire. Ordinary people don’t want to live in an empire. Ordinary people, of all races, prefer nations, places of social cohesion, historic roots and similar ways. America has become an empire, not a nation. But that doesn’t mean Mexicans or Africans or the Chinese want to be part of an empire. They are here in excess because they have been enticed here. They are here because very powerful globalists seek to destroy national sovereignty, make money and create a one world government. The Mexicans and Africans and Chinese are pawns in this anti-human, Machiavellian project.

Why do you think more people don’t know about this “refugee racket?” Why do you think more people don’t know that it is funded by the American government?
They don’t know because the media won’t tell them. Why won’t the media tell them? They won’t tell them because the mainstream media are as much a propaganda arm of centralized power as Pravda.
Aren’t you disquieted by the fact that the media love The Donald? Oh, yes they do. I realize Megyn gives Trump a hard time, creating the laughable illusion that somehow Fox News is against him, and he gets plenty of grief from leftists in the media, but there is one cardinal rule in advertising: Any publicity is good publicity. Even bad publicity is good publicity.
I assure you, the media would not love The Donald and give him any air-time at all if he were really an anti-establishment figure, if he was someone who was, say, calling for an end to the Federal Reserve Bank, a private institution that controls the American economy, or demanding the impeachment of Supreme Court judges for exceeding their authority or asking who blew up the World Trade Center buildings.
Open borders is a symptom, not a cause, of the problem.
I probably can’t persuade you that Trump’s nationalist rhetoric, some of which constitutes promises (such as heavy tariffs on foreign-made cars) that would be highly difficult for him to fulfill given the need for Congressional support, and some of which is truly rude, insulting and unbecoming of a potential President, is really just a way to make Americans think that they still play a part in their government and that we still have a two-party system. But I hope even so you will not become emotionally wrapped up in the issue because it’s a waste of your energy. Watch the Trump Show, if you like. Consider it entertainment. In my opinion, that’s what it is. A show. It’s not as if the media is going to lose its immense power and start suddenly reporting on the refugee racket once The Donald is elected. It’s not as if he is going to end the alarming consolidation of power in the hands of the money lenders. A gambling tycoon and unrepentant adulterer who doesn’t have the guts to ask why World Trade Center 7 collapsed to the ground in six seconds and who blames mass immigration on Mexicans and Chinese rather than on the powerful forces that have financially benefited from open borders and who says he is “1,000 percent” for Israel, as if the goyim have the perpetual obligation to send their sons to die for a foreign, Talmudic state, is not going to do great things for America. Even if he builds a wall on the border.

Our late friend Lawrence Auster called immigration “the most fateful issue.” I’ll vote for Trump because he might do something about it and because no other candidate will do anything about abortion, sodo-matrimony, etc. so it’s not like I have a conflicted choice between polices designed to save us from the demographic deluge and policies designed to save us from rampant immorality.
Trump is far from my ideal candidate. Pat Buchanan is much better but America obviously already rejected him. I guess we need a celebrity lout to get something done about immigration.

I don’t buy it at all. I just don’t trust him.

I just might vote for Trump. Trump’s biggest problem is people don’t know whether they can trust him. He comes across as a loose cannon, which no one can trust where it will go as the deck keeps rolling unpredictably. He is a tough guy who will not hesitate to turn on those who voted for him if they dare to criticize something he decides to do. If he does not like a deal he made, he won’t feel bad about breaking the deal. And he will not apologize for breaking the deal even if he knows he is wrong. (I suppose I should read his book, The Art of the Deal, before saying this. Maybe he is a man of his word.)
Because he is making grandiose promises about immigration, many like TK and me are attracted to him despite his awful faults. Even hard-nosed political reporters such as Brit Hume can’t stop watching him, as Mr. Hume confessed the other night. Hume’s confession is similar to MSNBC’s Chris Matthews saying that watching Obama made his legs tingle or something to that effect. (Obama is one of the dullest speakers I know.) I think most of our national problems are based on immigration policy since the mid-1960s. The Democratic Party would be a minor party without that immigration policy. Without the Democratic Party, we would not have liberals in the powerful positions they occupy today in the Media and Academia. There would be no women in combat roles. We would still be a 90%-95% white Christian country.
The other candidates are simply going to lessen the speed of our decay. Even my favorite candidate, Ted Cruz, gets only a B grade from Numbers USA. Santorum is the only candidate who gets an A. (I like him too.) A candidate with a B on immigration is probably not going to change things; it evidences ignorance about the enormity of the problem. I could be wrong, which is why I keep hoping Cruz will get out there and open his mouth as big as Trump has opened his. I don’t understand why only Trump is doing it. Cruz is very smart and knows far more about foreign and domestic policy than Trump, but he is trying to behave as an establishment candidate. That is not going to effect major change under our current dire circumstances.
Maybe Trump is also an establishment candidate because he is tied to the capitalistic system, which is generally a good system when controlled to some degree such as by anti-trust laws and monetary policy. But I don’t see Trump going along with what the establishment wants. The Stupid Party (an establishment party) is agreeing to support him because it has no soul. The Stupid Party sees Trump as the lesser of two evils, which is how they have gotten the country into the situation it is in.
I see Trump as a revolutionary but a revolutionary who can’t be trusted. His revolution is plain speaking. If we can’t even speak about our problems, we can never cure them. He is saying things that have been repressed for a half century. We really don’t know what he is going to do. But then we can say that about all politicians.

Unfortunately, there are no good choices here. I agree that immigration is the election issue.
I didn’t mean to suggest that somehow Trump should change our whole system; that would be impossible.
