In a matter of weeks, President Joe Biden has rolled back a substantial part of the gains it took years for the Trump Administration to achieve in the fight to stop illegal immigration.
The refusal to continue building the border wall and changing Trump asylum policies requiring migrants to wait in Mexico for their court date are formulas for disaster and will create massive future runs on the border.
The caravans will start to flow again, and America will be under siege once again by new waves of migrants responding to the Biden Administration’s weak policies on immigration.

These policies also undercut bipartisan immigration solutions.
Finally, Democrats should realize – in spite of their intense personal dislike for him – that what President Trump did in securing our border and reforming our asylum laws worked.

This punishment trivializes what I believe to be a stunning breach of duty to the Court and to the American people.

foxnews.com/politics/fbi-l…
Lawyers in the chain of prosecution altering documents – to mislead the Court – is one of the most damning things that can be done to the Rule of Law.
They clearly altered documents and withheld exculpatory information from the FISA Court to continue a false narrative against an American citizen: Carter Page.

I completely support the process laid out by Leader McConnell regarding the upcoming impeachment trial. I hope my Democratic colleagues will agree.

The process being proposed is acceptable to the former President’s legal team and fair to the Senate, the House, and the nation.
It will provide the former President’s lawyers and House managers with the appropriate amount of time to brief the Senate and prepare for trial.
As I have continuously stated, I believe this is an unconstitutional exercise of impeachment power, and this process will allow that argument to be made in a timely fashion.

We had a very good briefing today hosted by Governor @henrymcmaster along with input from the South Carolina Hospital Association, S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) and others, regarding South Carolina’s vaccine distribution program.
@henrymcmaster Providing assistance to nursing homes, long-term facilities, and other at-risk populations such as those over the age of 70 remains a high priority.
@henrymcmaster More vaccine doses are on the way, and I expect hospitals and other providers will provide the necessary resources to ramp up distribution in the days to come.

President Trump’s statement tonight hit the mark.

He rejected violence, unequivocally condemned those who defiled our Capitol, called for full accountability, and emphasized those who engage in violence tarnish the movement.

His speech helps move the country move forward.
It is now time for President-elect Biden to rise to the occasion and instruct his party to call off post-presidential impeachment proceedings.
The House impeached President Trump without a hearing or witness, and the Senate Democrats would be willing to continue this division and legitimize the House procedures.

Senator McConnell’s decision to withhold consent to start the trial before inauguration is the right call.

Supporting the impeachment of President Trump under these circumstances will do great damage to the institutions of government and could invite further violence at a time the President is calling for calm.
If there was a time for America’s political leaders to bend a knee and ask for God’s counsel and guidance, it is now. The most important thing for leaders to do in times of crisis is to make things better, not worse.
The process being used in the House to impeach President Trump is an affront to any concept of due process and will further divide the country.

Twitter may ban me for this but I willingly accept that fate: Your decision to permanently ban President Trump is a serious mistake.

The Ayatollah can tweet, but Trump can’t. Says a lot about the people who run Twitter.
I’m more determined than ever to strip Section 230 protections from Big Tech (Twitter) that let them be immune from lawsuits.
Big Tech are the only companies in America that virtually have absolute immunity from being sued for their actions, and it’s only because Congress gave them that protection.
