This guest was unable to appear, and caused some confusion at the beginning. Then things smoothed out.

Mexican Congressman Climbs Border Fence to Show Trump’s Wall Is ‘Totally Absurd’, by Manolo Garibay

Leave a reply

March 3, 2017

When Geo. W. Bush first brought up the idea of a border wall the joke here in the Valley was that Mexicans would then start selling ladders that would allow people to climb over the wall and get across which would provide a business and employment for many Mexicans in need of work ! !

But as you can see by example this Congressman from Mexico and two companions–one a woman–were able to climb the wall and easily climb down on the US side without any problem ! !

Bottom line is that a border wall to “secure” our Southern border is only a talking point that is promoted primarily by republicans and does not provide the security that they always want to talk about to use in their campaign speeches ! ! Then they take the liberty in using that point to expand it to spread fear and terror about unproven events where there has been damage to property owned by American citizens or even claiming that “many” Americans have been killed or injured by undocumented people that cross into the US illegally which is part and parcel of the now famous “alternative facts” ! ! !

Let me tell you, I have lived here in deep South Texas not 10 miles from the Mexican border for over twenty years; isn’t it obvious that we would be the FIRST to know about such a thing happening ? ? So when I tell you that those stories are highly exaggerated it is the truth ! !

“We don’t need more confirmation that there’s something wrong with Donald Trump. Let’s instead find ways to rebuild what is rational. And the Democrats, goddamn it, get a little backbone, get a little spine. The only person I can trust anymore is Al Franken, who has a great brain and a great heart.

“Police falsely told a man he couldn’t film them. ‘I’m an attorney,’ he said. ‘I know what the law is.’” By Peter Holley March 10, 2017 [WASHINGTON POST]

Know your rights when recording police actions. – Mike

Police falsely told a man he couldn’t film them. ‘I’m an attorney,’ he said. ‘I know what the law is.’ (with VIDEOS),

One of the first things Jesse Bright did after being pulled over by police on a recent Sunday afternoon was turn on his phone and begin filming.

Bright was driving for Uber to make some extra cash, but he works full-time as criminal defense attorney in North Carolina. As a lawyer, he said, he believes strongly that when people record their interactions with police, it helps reduce confusion if their cases end up in court.

As he aimed his phone in the direction of officers and recorded, Bright was surprised to hear Wilmington police Sgt. Kenneth Becker tell him that there was a new state law that prohibited him from recording police.

“Our concern was military members showing a partisan political allegiance to a person as opposed to the Constitution or the country .They simply cannot — in uniform in military vehicles and in an official capacity — show partisan political leanings.” ~ Lt. Jacqui Maxwell, a spokeswoman for Naval Special Warfare Group 2, said in a statement to The Washington Post that punitive actions were taken but declined to comment on the precise nature of the punishment or how many individuals were affected. (from “A special warfare unit flew a Trump flag in public. Now the Navy is punishing its members.” March 1, 2017)
