Republican Leaders Say Putin Not Welcome in Capitol, But 87% of Republican Voters Want Another Trump-Putin Meeting

A recent poll found that 54% of Americans approved of Trump meeting again with Putin in the Fall, and an overwhelming 87% of Republicans backed the proposal. Nevertheless, top Republicans Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan have put thumbs down on the meeting, which begs the question- who are they representing if not their constituents?

When asked about the merits of Trump’s invitation to Putin to attend a meeting in the US, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) stated “Well, I can only speak for the Congress. The speaker (Paul Ryan) and I have made it clear that Putin will not be welcome up here at the Capitol.”

Neither Republican Representatives McConnell nor Ryan actually are representing their constituents in this matter. A recent poll showed that 54% of those surveyed believe Trump’s proposal to host Putin in Washington, DC, in the fall is a good idea, while 87% of Republicans and 54% of independents were among those who approve of a second summit. Trump says he will postpone meeting until 2019, at the the conclusion of the Mueller investigation.

Florida: Illegal Alien Accused of Shooting Police Officer in the Head

An illegal alien, Wisner Desmaret, 29, from Haiti has been accused of shooting a police officer in the head, nearly killing him, and leaving him in critical condition.  Police intervened to break up a fight between the illegal alien and a group of men at a gas station when Desmaret began shooting at police.  Desmaret was previously arrested in 2011 after a standoff with police and arrested multiple times for trespassing. He should have been turned over to ICE following his first arrest, but never was.

An illegal alien from Haiti has been accused of shooting a Florida police officer in the head, leaving him in critical condition.

Wisner Desmaret, a 29-year-old illegal alien from Haiti, is facing eight felonies including attempted first-degree murder after he allegedly shot and nearly killed Fort Meyers Officer Adam Jobbers-MIller in a standoff with police, according to FOX 4 Now.

When police intervened to break up a fight between the illegal alien and a group of men at a gas station, Desmaret began shooting at police, hitting and critically injuring Jobbers-Miller.

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency confirmed in a statement that Desmaret, who has been arrested multiple times in the past, has placed a detainer on the illegal alien.

“ICE filed a detainer on Wisner Desmaret, 29, a citizen and national of Haiti on July 22, after his arrest by the Fort Myers Police Department on charges including attempted murder of a law enforcement officer,” an ICE spokesperson said.

Fort Meyers Police Department officials say Jobbers-Miller is in stable but critical condition following the shooting.

600 Migrants Armed with Flamethrowers and Bags of Feces Break through Spanish Border in Morocco

An estimated 800 sub-Saharan migrants attempted to cross the border between Morocco and the Spanish enclave of Ceuta at 6:45am through a 23-foot high fence. 602 of them succeeded and now are applying for immigration. 15 law-enforcement officers were injured in the clash. The invaders with homemade shields threw stones, Molotov cocktails, and feces at police. They also used gasoline sprays to make flamethrowers. [Can’t imagine why anyone would not welcome these people into their homeland, can you?} -GEG

Migrants attempted to cross the seven-meter high fence separating Morocco from Spain at 6:35 a.m. They threw stones, homemade shielrs, Molotov cocktails, feces and hashish at law enforcement representatives and used sprays as flamethrowers. The migrants also tried to cut the barbed wire on the fence with scissors and hammers. Once inside Spanish territory, they threw stones at cars of the Civil Guard.

Border agents arrested hundreds on the Moroccan side and more were detained in Ceuta, El Pais reports.

According to The Local.es, the scramble over the barrier is the biggest in Ceuta since February 2017, when more than 850 migrants entered the overseas territory over four days.

It comes as Spain becomes the number one destination for migrants crossing the Mediterranean by boat, surpassing Italy with 19,586 arrivals so far this year, according to the International Organization for Migration.

592 migrants who managed to cross the border had applied with the International Organization for Migration; 132 of them were injured, and 11 migrants were taken to hospitals.

Irony in Portland: An Open-Borders Activist Group Built a Border Wall to Protect Their Tent Encampment

Click link below for video embedded in article.

On Wednesday, The Daily Wire reported that “Occupy ICE” protesters in Portland had been given eviction notices and were ordered to pack up their belongings and demonstrate against vague notions of tyranny and oppression elsewhere.

But while some indeed cleared out (in a manner of speaking, at least), others decided to stay and fight, erecting — ironically — a “border wall” to enclose the Occupy ICE PDX encampment and stationing “border guards” around their tiny independent nation.

No, really. The border wall, which is in fact quite high (perhaps, say, to prevent border jumpers), went up over the weekend.

On Wednesday, bystanders noticed that Occupy ICE PDX had furthered militarized their border, stationing a “border patrol” around the perimeter and charging their new “wall guards” with monitoring their makeshift border wall around the clock.

Meghan McCain Explodes at Joy Behar on ‘The View’ TV Show, Saying It’s Dangerous to Normalize Socialism! However….

Meghan McCain challenged Joy Behar, who advocates socialism, to contribute 90% of her paycheck to taxes to fund socialist programs that have a long history of economic failure and human suffering. Meghan pointed out that Venezuela is a wealthy country in terms of assets and natural resources, yet citizens there have lost an average of 24 pounds of body weight and are starving due to failed socialist policies. When Behar mentioned Scandinavian socialism, Meghan said that tiny countries with small populations cannot be compared to the US. [She didn’t explain why that is so, but she did not mention that these countries are heavily subsidized by oil production, similar to oil-rich Arab countries, and would be flat broke without that windfall. When the oil wells run dry, so will Scandinavian socialism.]  More than half of millennials identify themselves as socialists, yet only 16% can explain what it is.

[At first, we decided to skip over this shouting match but decided to keep it, not because Meghan’s critique of socialism was profound, but because Whoopee Goldberg’s opening statement about the difference between a Democrat and a socialist was hilariously characteristic of those who are politically illiterate and use words they cannot define. If anyone is interested in my attempt to put all these undefinable words into context of an ideological clash between collectivism and individualism, my essay can be found here.] -GEG
