Yes, Unvetted Illegal Caravans Threaten Public Health

The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not represent the views of Townhall.com.

We live in bizarro times. Suddenly, it is controversial to state obvious, neon-bright truths. This week, it has become newsworthy to observe that illegal border-crossers who circumvent required medical screenings are a threat to America's public health and safety.

Just look at these hyperventilating headlines and tweets.

From Newsweek, which is supposed to, you know, report actual news of the week: "'We don't know what people have': Laura Ingraham calls migrant caravan a health issue."

And from The Daily Beast: "Fox & Friends Host Brian Kilmeade Fears 'Diseases' Brought By Migrant Caravan."

This is not "news." It's propaganda recycled and regurgitated by lazy political operatives masquerading as journalists. At least the Newsweek writer gave credit to his zealous hitmen sources: "Ingraham's comments," he dutifully wrote, "were first highlighted by Media Matters for America."

The so-called “populist” movement, which is condemned by the left as “racist,” “Islamophobic,” “xenophobic” and the like, has been gaining momentum in many Western countries, and now in Brazil.

Op-ed:
It's an Invasion Not a Caravan
By: Diane Sori and Craig Andresen / Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio

We've always known an October surprise would be coming...a surprise orchestrated by the Democrats who are desperate for something...for anything...to turn the midterms expected “Red Tide” blue. And now lo and behold a walking mass of humanity suddenly appears out of nowhere all in an attempt to force President Trump into a corner...a corner they hope he cannot escape from unscathed...damned forever by the media for whatever he does or does not do.

And that October surprise was an “invasion”...a caravan the media calls it...a caravan that is anything but. Started in Honduras and being joined by mostly young men from El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, and now being reported a scattering of Middle Eastern young men too, know that all those walking to our border are anything but refugees. And why...because a “refugee” is defined as, “a person who has been forced to leave their country in order to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster,” and an “asylum seeker” is someone defined as, “a person who has left their home country as a political refugee and is seeking asylum in another.”

Liberals would have us believe that those who make up the caravan currently heading for the U.S. border are a collection of “refugees” and “asylum seekers,” but that is far from the truth. What is heading our way by the thousands...and with a second wave now being formed... is an “invasion”...and there are ways to tell the difference.

First, nobody has forced any of these people to “flee” their own countries or to seek asylum elsewhere. Were that really the case, there are plenty of countries surrounding their countries of origin where such people could travel, and for that matter Mexico would be a quicker and closer destination.

Certainly socialism, with its built-in oppression and economic disasters would drive people away, but were that the case with the caravan why come to a country in which the only political party rolling out the welcome mat is championing socialist candidates? Wouldn’t that be the political equivalent of leaping from the fire into the proverbial frying pan knowing all the while that the party of welcome will force you to jump back into the fire?

Second, “asylum seekers” and “refugees” do not march more than 1,700 miles towards a new home based upon the idea of a new life with more opportunities while carrying the flags of the countries from which they are supposedly fleeing or from which they seek asylum.

Furthermore, while on your journey to the land of promise and opportunity neither a “refugee” nor the “seekers of asylum” would exhibit such decided disrespect toward the country of their destination as burning the flag of that country...the very country in which they supposedly hope will welcome them with open arms.

Invaders, however, would do all of those things and would further not care an iota about the destination country’s laws.

True “asylum seekers” and “refugees” also do not amass in groups of 10,000 or more and embark on a 1,700 mile trek with camera and media crews lined up to document the event nor do they embark without any way or means of sustaining themselves while on their long trek...but that is exactly what this supposed caravan has done. Real “refugees” and real “asylum seekers” do respect the laws of the country of their destination and they seek permission to stay, hoping to be granted such an opportunity.

Invaders, on the other hand, demand entrance, have no respect for the laws of their destination country, and rely on intimidation through numbers to force their way into a country.

In fact, by liberal definition, Genghis Khan was a “refugee” or an “asylum seeker,” who immigrated to one country after another.

The difference between Genghis Kahn’s mongrel forces and this caravan are simple...Khan stole whatever he needed along the way to finance his “invasion,” while this caravan is being financed by outside entities. Somebody or some entity is funding the caravan and providing those in it with food, water, and in some cases transportation, and we suggest they're paying the families of those in the caravan for the services of their husbands and sons.

“For the services of their fathers and sons”...true words that can be seen by the very makeup of the caravan itself...an “invasion” actually for there is not a camel in sight. And also not in sight is women and children save for a few well placed for photo-ops within the invading masses of healthy and strong mostly young men. And with many an angry fist raised in the air demanding what they say is their right to enter our country, these folks most assuredly are anything but “refugees.” Lured here by the Democrats promise of lots of “free stuff” they now march 7000+ strong with flags of their home countries held high with pride, as they stop along the way to set fire to our beloved stars and stripes...the very symbol of freedom true refugees claim they want. Yet more times than not their violent actions prove all they want is the aforementioned Democrats promised “free stuff,” and all they have to do in return is give the Democrats their vote.

So with our border drawing ever near the question that remains paramount above all else is exactly who is not only feeding but funding this mass “invasion” of the uneducated and angry all with their hands out.

“In Honduras, the government wants to minimize why people are leaving — they know they are going to leave and they want to say they are doing so because of lies and the opposition, not the conditions that they created.” So said ex-Honduran congressional lawmaker and radio host Bartolo Fuentes...the very man who is ground zero of this current “invasion”...the very man who coordinated logistics back in September with small groups of folks seeking to make the risky trek north. Claiming the initial group was comprised of just 200 people but that after a television report on HCH (the Honduran news channel) it “inspired others” to form “caravans” of their own...including one of about about 1,000 people...and then to join up and merge together with others making the dangerous trip north.

And while Fuentes claims that “No one expected this human avalanche,” he is denying claims made by a reporter that it was he who promised to pay what he called “migrants” food and transportation costs. And while his words hold some truth...he might have helped fund or helped to secure funds...for the original group of 200, but in no way did this one man fund an “invasion” of the scope it is now...an “invasion” just about 1,000 miles away from our southern border.

So if not Bartolo Fuentes than who could fund such a mass of humanity now threatening to breech what should be our sovereign southern border?

Only one name comes to mind...George Soros...the very man who is spending billions of dollars to shift the world’s population to “brown” as he works to spread his ever so vile agenda across the globe. Nazi eugenics of sorts, but minus the overt butchery and savagery of course.

And know that while George Soros is not directly funneling money...as in he's not writing a personal check...to keep this current “invasion” moving ever forward, he certainly is doing so through a backdoor if you will for we know that Soros is directly connected to big time leftist immigration sorts. And it's believed he has already funded past caravans, in fact according to a May report in WND (World News Daily) regarding a previous caravan...“the caravan was organized by a group called Pueblo Sin Fronteras, [b]ut the effort is supported by the coalition CARA Family Detention Pro Bono Project.” And what is CARA...it's a uniting of the Catholic Legal Immigration Network (CLIN), the American Immigration Council (AIC), the Refugee and Immigration Center for Education and Legal Services (RICELS) and the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA)...all now joined together under the acronym CARA.

And guess who directly funded then and still funds now these specific groups and their banner coalition CARA... George Soros’ Open Society Foundation (OSF)...a foundation with an estimated $19.59 billion endowment used to fund “civil society” groups and who states on their web page that their goal is to create, “vibrant and tolerant democracies whose governments are accountable to their citizens”...in other words they want to create “mob rule.” And that goes hand-in-hand with Pueblo Sin Fronteras' Initiative to give preferential treatment to migrants over that of a county's citizens. And with Soros' OSF funding CARA, it's CARA who is now believed to be funding this current 7000+ “invasion,” which actually makes perfect sense for supporting an “invasion” of this magnitude requires big money...and Soros' OSF surely has big money...big money not only needed to feed this mass of humanity but big money to pay them to keep going forward if they waiver and want to return home.

And while in a recent interview with the Washington Post, Vice President Mike Pence not only defended President Trump’s belief that Middle Eastern men are part of this newest caravan, but stated that Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández told him that the caravan was being financed by the Venezuelan government. But this counters what reporters traveling with the caravan are saying for they see no signs of Venezuelan involvement nor of Middle Eastern men. And while that might or might not turn out to be true, we still believe it's George Soros' feet as to where the blame and the funding lies.

But no matter the source of funding or the Democrat's shadow lurking over the caravan, the fact remains from violence they came, with violence they march, as these invaders have threatened violence if we don't let them in. And this is why President Trump has rightfully called this caravan an “assault on the United States.”

And to that affect, last week President Trump, via the Pentagon, ordered 800 members of the U.S. military to our southern border...a move many pundits and certainly liberals view as unconstitutional. They are right, but only in a narrow scope of things.

The 1878 Posse Comitatus Act bans the use of the military as domestic law enforcement, and in that narrow scope the military could not be sent by the president to the border...but what we’re dealing with in this case is far from “domestic law enforcement.” What we’re dealing with is an “invasion” by international entities, but there is a much bigger problem for President Trump’s critics where the Posse Comitatus Act is concerned...

It doesn’t exist.

That’s correct...there is no such thing as the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act. What we have is a Posse Comitatus Policy, which was in fact a simple statement within an 1878 army appropriations bill. And it may well come as a surprise to some that the policy was actually initiated by Democrats and meant to end funding for the U.S. army with regard to keeping the peace and maintaining open and fair elections in our former confederate states.

In that light, it is no wonder that today’s liberals are citing Posse Comitatus as a way to help ensure the prospect of future illegal aliens voting for Democrats.

That said, President Trump or for that matter any president, does have the authority to send our troops to the border, especially in a time of a national emergency of which a foreign “invasion” most clearly constitutes.

To be clear, back in the late 1870’s Republicans managed to include language into the Posse Comitatus policy that allowed the military to be deployed as law enforcement when “expressly authorized by the Constitution or act of Congress.” This also is being cited by liberals and pundits as a reason why President Trump cannot send our troops to the border...they claim it must be authorized by Congress.

That alone would be enough for the president to authorize sending our military to the border at this time, but for those who still claim it is unconstitutional, allow us to provide the Constitutional basis for presidential authorization.

It is found in Section IV, Article IV of the U.S. Constitution which promised protection against “invasion” or domestic insurrection and thus justifies the use of the military as domestic law enforcement. And if that’s not clear enough, consider 8 U.S.C. § 1182 which is far too long to be reproduced here and yet contains several parts that deal with exactly what’s happening right now, including this specific language:

(7) Documentation requirements
(A) Immigrants
(i) In general Except as otherwise specifically provided in this chapter, any immigrant at the time of application for admission—
(I)
who is not in possession of a valid unexpired immigrant visa, reentry permit, border crossing identification card, or other valid entry document required by this chapter, and a valid unexpired passport, or other suitable travel document, or document of identity and nationality if such document is required under the regulations issued by the Attorney General under section 1181(a) of this title, or
(II)
whose visa has been issued without compliance with the provisions of section 1153 of this title, is inadmissible.

Also included in 8 U.S.C. § 1182 is this: “Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period a she shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.”

While we are calling this caravan as we see it...an “invasion”...it would be incumbent upon President Trump to identify it as such for the sake of legal authorization to use the military to repel it, which begs the question...how is “invasion” defined?

The very definition of “invasion” is as follows: “An incursion by a large number of people or things into a place or sphere of activity,” or as “An unwelcome intrusion into another's domain.”

As the United States is indeed the domain of U.S. citizens and this caravan constitutes a planned “incursion by a large number of people,” it seems to clearly fit the definition of “invasion.” And as we previously stated, illegal aliens do not come here to add to our society either culturally or economically...in fact they are bleeding our nation dry. The cost to our taxpayers is staggering as it is, with U.S. taxpayers funding illegal aliens to the tune of some $116 billion dollars every year...that’s what’s in it for members of the caravan. And that's money down the drain not going to American citizens...not going to our veterans.

For liberals, the expense of funding this caravan is worth it in votes, as those getting "free stuff" will always vote for the party that vows to maintain their "free stuff."

The fact is that 66% of the bill for illegal aliens, such as those traveling in this so-called caravan, is borne by local and state economies. And as their coffers strain to the breaking point and their citizen residents rise up against increasing property, sales, and excise taxes, liberals will be right there to promise a bailout, thus making those states as beholding to liberals as are to the illegal aliens themselves.

Americans, whether by local, state, or federal taxes, are being economically raped by illegal aliens as it is, and liberals want to add more of them into the mix. To say it is unsustainable would be a gross understatement, and it would be criminal to not protect our citizens, our state, local and federal economies or our southern border with military force if need be.

If need be...for these are folks too cowardly to stay home and fight to set their home countries free choosing instead to invade ours with violence if need be. But then maybe their threat of violence does need to be met with physical force...as in armed American troops stationed at the border...as cutting off foreign-aid funding to their said countries is not enough...for no “invasion” has ever been stopped by diplomacy alone or by a cutting off of funds... after all...where there's a will there's always a way. And we all know what needs to be done whether we outwardly say it or not for these folks have no right to be here...we are not now nor should we ever be the world's dumping ground for folks who knowingly and willingly make a mockery of our judicial system and laws.

These folks are laughing at us as they relish in abusing what they think is their “right to asylum,” and the world is laughing along with them as we are really doing nothing of substance to stop this “invasion,” and it's all because we are not standing united as one.

Make no mistake, if actions are not taken now to stop this “invasion”...and remember the Democrats are also using family separations and Trump’s rightfully harsh anti-illegal immigration stance in general as a prime ploy to get out the Democrat vote...we could very will see a “Blue Wave” in November as President Trump will unfortunately be perceived as weak.

These invaders have openly admitted their intention to cross into the U.S. illegally and with us having any idea who these people really are, we are facing a serious national security threat. Now more than ever we need President Trump to take matters into his own hands and lock our southern border down until we either fix our currently...thanks of course to the Democrats...broken immigration system or at the very least enforce the laws already on the books.

We cannot say it any plainer than that.

Democrats Blaming Normal Americans for Nuts Will Blow Up In Their Faces at the Ballot Box

Kurt Schlichter / Townhall Columnist

The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not represent the views of Townhall.com.

You know, there's nothing that Normal Americans can identify with more than a guy living in a Ford panel van covered with Trump memes and soccer manifestoes who sends bombs that don't work to Democrats who support policies that don't work. Likewise, Normal people totally identify with – let me get the liberal narrative du jour right here – a Trump-hating freak who shoots up a synagogue. And I think it’s a terrific midterm strategy for our Democrat friends is to keep making that idiotic case. (extreme sarcasm for the benefit of the willfully obtuse.

The Official Media is in a frenzy explaining how Donald Trump personally instructed Kooky Weirdo de Florida to mail pipe bombs to washed up Dem hacks and that nameless garbage being in Pittsburgh via a series of cunningly encrypted dog whistles. “Make America Great Again” is apparently code for “Mail bombs!” Nothing says “Murder Jews” like moving the embassy to Jerusalem and ending the Iran deal.

Analysis: Trump Is Not Responsible For the Actions of a Mentally-Disturbed Supporter

Guy Benson / Townhall Tipsheet

The biggest story of the day is the arrest of a Florida man, in connection with the series of mail bombs sent to prominent critics of President Trump. In addition to reportedly having a criminal record for minor offenses and threats, the suspect appears to be a mentally unstable and cartoonishly-fanatical Trump supporter. This is unsurprising information. As I wrote yesterday, based on the identities of the bomb targets, Occam's Razor suggested that these acts of terrorism were politically-motivated. It now seems likelier than ever that they were. Allow me to make a handful of non-mutually-exclusive observations:

(1) Our country would be better off if our public officials and other prominent political figures debated issues with more substance, greater civility, and less hysteria. This very much applies to the president, who likes to claim -- among other things -- that his opponents "favor" or "love" ruthless gangs who murder Americans. It also very much applies to Democrats, who frequently frame Republican proposals as world-ending, or tantamount to mass killings.

(2) Overheated partisan rhetoric that falls well short of direct incitement to violence can be grotesque and counter-productive, but it should not be blamed for the actions of disturbed people. It's possible, if not likely, that this bomber heard Trump's words and decided to take it upon himself to punish or eliminate Trump's opponents. If so, that's a reflection on the bomber's evilness or mental illness, not Trump. Similarly, it's quite likely that the Congressional baseball shooter heard the words of numerous high-profile leftists and decided he needed to save the country by assassinating Republicans. That was a reflection on the shooter's evilness or mental illness, not the leftists he followed or favored.

NBC Hid Information That Proved Kavanaugh Not Part Of An Abuse Ring

Steven Ahle / Steadfast and Loyal

NBC sat on exculpatory evidence that proved that the accusations made by Julie Swetnick were a lie. They interviewed a woman who had become friends with Swetnick almost a decade after the alleged rapes, but she was around during the parties and knew of Brett Kavanaugh. She had told NBC that she never saw Kavanaugh spike the drinks and also that she didn’t believe he did.

She also told them that she never witnessed Kavanaugh touching women inappropriately. NBC knew all of this but chose to keep quiet, proving once again that it is not a news site, but rather an arm of the DNC.

From Breitbart News

NBC News and Avenatti played a huge role in this obscene smear campaign. One notable example was NBC breathlessly publishing and airing an assault allegation against Kavanaugh that was quickly exposed as a hoax.

Op-ed:

Castro/Gillum...Is This the Democrats 2020 Ticket

By Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio

"I'm likely to do it. I have a strong vision for the country. I believe that our country's going in the wrong direction and that it needs new leadership. I'll make a final decision after November, but I'm inclined to do it."

- Julian Castro in a recent Rolling Stone interview on his probability of a presidential run in 2020

My fellow Floridians please listen up...we cannot vote Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum in as our next governor for some very important key reasons. Reason number one...his platform. If elected Andrew Gillum has promised to make Florida a sanctuary state; he's promised a one billion dollar business tax increase (which equates to roughly 40%) to help fund his“medicare for all” nonsense thus forcing many existing businesses to close and others to stay clear of Florida; he wants to do away with school choice policies; he's joined forces with those wishing to abolish I.C.E. and also stated he wants to do away with Florida's 'Stand Your Ground' law; he supports either taking our guns away or at the very least to heavily restrict their ownership; he wants even stricter environmental regulations; and he's part of the impeach Trump crowd.

Also, under Gillum's mayorship, Tallahassee...Florida's capital city...has garnered the dubious distinction of being number one in the state in crime, with Mr. Mayor doing little except to hire a few more officers to try and help solve the still escalating crime numbers, ignoring both police and sheriff's departments numerous suggestions on how to permanently bring those numbers down.

But more importantly is reason number two...as I believe we Floridians are being “played” by gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum and his handlers. How so...by his using Florida as a stepping stone to becoming Julian Castro's running mate in 2020, and that this entire scenario is being orchestrated by Barack HUSSEIN Obama and funded by George Soros. And why do I believe this...because the Democrat hierarchy believe that a minority driven ticket might be the only way they can retake the White House in 2020.

Now let's add in that Julian Castro recently announced that he's “likely” to challenge Donald Trump in the next presidential go round. And with Castro being all about minority entitlement as is Gillum just imagine what a team these two characters would make...the socialism-wanting Hispanic former mayor of San Antonio, Texas and former HUD secretary in the Obama administration who still has some questionable actions in his background concerning seven-figure “seed money” for his first mayoral campaign (If chosen for HUD, Julian Castro's work, big payday could face scrutiny)...coupled with the socialism driven, gun control touting, currently under an F.B.I investigation concerning ethics violations (Mayor Gillum faces ethics complaint over NYC trip) black mayor of Florida's capital city...a minority “twofer” jackpot if ever there was one.

And a ticket of this make up would surely see the ever increasing minority vote going solely into the Democrat's column for we all know that when push comes to shove no matter a person's qualifications or lack thereof, color and ethnicity unfortunately does still matter to many and does so to such a degree that it becomes the sole deciding factor in how they will cast their vote.

Truly sad indeed...just ask Republican former Secretary of State Gen. Colin Powell how well his 'I'm voting for Obama because his skin color is the same as mine' vote worked out for our country.

Now let that reality really sink in folks...the reality that the ever increasing minority vote would be locked up for the Democrats based for the most part on skin color and ancestral origins alone with white liberals joining in on that vote as a one-sided minority ticket would serve their progressive agenda well. And with two socialist leaning candidates promising both illegals and society's what I call “sponges” even more “free stuff” in exchange for their votes...in other words “redistribution of wealth”...they and others of the “gimme-gimme you owe me sorts” would flock to the polls in record numbers, while it's we on the other side of the political aisle who would be footing the bill via tax increases to the nth degree.

And while some will counter by saying that in no way would two southern males ever comprise a presidential ticket...neither a Democrat nor a Republican ticket...I say it indeed could happen especially on the Democrat side when and if they felt that demographics alone could be used to their advantage. And for the Democrats the 2020 presidential election if played right, as in if they can garner the vast majority of minority black and Hispanic votes...via a Castro/Gillum ticket... they unfortunately do stand a chance of taking the White House back.

Yet another reason why voter I.D. must, before the next presidential election. become the law of our land for if the ever-growing number of illegals continue to be allowed to vote; if the dead still make it to the polls or have their vote tallied via absentee ballots; and if Democrats are still voting more than once; the outcome of said election truly might not be to our liking.

And with Hillary Clinton and her infamous blame game having basically ruined the Democrats chances of getting another woman to this time lead a successful Democrat presidential ticket, and with 2020 fast approaching and their supposed woman front runner (MA) Sen. Elizabeth Warren having been exposed as a fake Native America (read about that in Elizabeth Warren...A 100% Real, Genuine Fake Indian); the other women contenders of note like Kamila Harris who is but a grandstanding joke as easily seen by her theatrics during the Kavanaugh hearings; and debate hedging N.Y. Sen. Kristin Gillibrand all might not be the Democrat masses palatable cup of liberal tea.

So why not two men from the south if their ethnicity would serve the Democrats and their agenda well...with color and ethnicity in the 2020 election being way more important to them than where logistically the candidates chosen come from.

And know that I have been warning folks for years about Julian Castro, his agenda, and his foibles. Please read my previous article, If Not Hillary Then Who: The Truth Exposed - Part 2, to see just what I'm talking about for this man...a man still being groomed to someday be president by Obama's very handlers...was in serious contention to be Hillary Clinton's running mate, and that alone should tell you a lot about the man.

Briefly, Hillary Clinton so wanted uber liberal HUD Secretary Julian Castro as her running mate and Julian Castro wanted desperately to be her running mate. Young, dynamic, and most importantly Hispanic, Castro would have been the perfect pick to bring in the Hispanic and millennial vote. But as the decision was at the cusp of being made in his favor, Castro committed a big no-no when he violated the Hatch Act…an act that prohibits federal employees from engaging in political activity while in their administrative role. And this Julian Castro most assuredly did when in an April 2016 interview with Katie Couric, Castro said he was supporting Hillary Clinton’s presidential aspirations while discussing HUD programs in his official capacity as its secretary..

And that ended a Hillary/Castro 2016 ticket but left open the possibility of a Castro run in 2020 for Julian Castro knows well that the masses have short memories when it comes to political faux-pas, especially if it relates to someone they consider “of color.”

And so now we have entering center stage a dynamic young black man who is hoping to become Florida's first black governor...a black man with faux-pas of his own...including the fact that as per public records he failed to disclose (until caught) two mortgages on legally required financial disclosure forms going back to 2014, along with the above stated current ethics violations and possibly more...faux-pas he hopes the masses will overlook now in 2018, for if he wins and then with having two years of governorship under his belt, Andrew Gillum could easily become Julian Castro's 2020 Vice Presidential running mate...a minority dream team from liberal hell.

And these two men with decidedly socialist agendas have already formed a mutual admiration society of sorts. Not only did Julian Castro hold a fundraiser for then primary candidate Andrew Gillum, but he also has now officially endorsed Gillum in his Florida governors run. Saying of Castro's endorsement, “It is an honor to have his endorsement as we continue sharing our vision for a Florida that works for everyone,” more than hints at Julian Castro also having a specific “vision” for Florida...a scary thought indeed for maybe a foundation for a future presidential ticket might just have been born.

“The world can feel scary enough, without so-called leaders inciting fear for political gain.”

- Andrew Gillum speaking about then candidate Donald Trump at the 2016 DNC Nominating Convention.

And so Andrew Gillum, yet but another once community organizer whose rise to national prominence happened only after he spoke at the 2016 Democratic National Convention...parallels Obama's infamous rise to power which only happened after he gave the Key Note speech at Billy-Boy's second nominating convention. And now he has Julian Castro...an avowed socialist with presidential aspirations whose mother just happens to be one of the founders of the militant anti-American chicano group La Raza...and who not so coincidentally also gave a key speech at the same convention in 2016...in his corner.

But the question is why would Julian Castro...the man who serves on the board of Voto Latino and a man who thinks predominately in terms of brown and black entitlement alone...come out publicly in support of a man whose governor's race might or might not go as hoped for? Because if it does go as hoped for Andrew Gillum then in his position as governor could help a then presidential candidate Julian Castro turn the swing state of Florida 'blue,' and would do so most assuredly if together they ran on the presidential ticket in 2020...a scary thought indeed.

So planning, or should I say “plotting,” ahead of time never hurts, but I'm sure a presidential ticket with what amounts to two socialists comprising it would have our Founders and Framers turning over in their graves as their beloved republic, if this ticket won, would become not even a “pure” democracy but a socialist supposed utopia where we Americans would all be equal...equal at the bottom rung of the economic ladder that is.

And so the bottom line is this...Andrew Gillum...the progressives darling and Mr. “If we don’t kick Republicans out of office they’ll repeal Obamacare,” whose main “in the open campaign financier” is uber liberal California billionaire Tom Steyer, is not someone we need as Florida's next governor...his above stated platform and agenda alone should tell all Floridians that.

But of paramount importance is the fact that Andrew Gillum appears to be in the process of being “groomed” for "bigger things" than just Florida. And his recent debate on CNN with his Republican opponent Ron DeSantis showed him to be virulently anti-Trump and an Obama clone...whose endorsement he also has...proving that the only way to stop those “bigger things”...as in a 2020 VP slot and possibly the top slot in 2028...is to stop him from becoming governor now. Without the governorship under his belt the chances of Andrew Gillum being the Democrats VP nominee in 2020 or beyond go way down to almost zero, and the one thing our country surely does not need now or in the future is Obama part 2, especially when part one could very well be Julian Castro, a very politically dangerous man in his own right.
