In a wide ranging interview on the Christian Broadcasting Network today, Franklin Graham answered questions on North Korea and other subjects of interest to viewers.  His answers were as you would expect until the very end, when he was asked about the US government’s new policy of ripping immigrant families apart at the border.  Shockingly, he said the practice was shameful and disagreed with it completely.  He also placed the blame for this problem directly where it belonged, which is with the politicians in Washington who have just kicked the can down the road for 30 plus years on our immigration crisis.

Clearly Graham has been abducted by aliens, replaced by an avatar that was somehow mis-programmed into being humanly compassionate.  I’ve never actually ever heard Graham utter a word that wasn’t hateful and exclusionary.  It’s weird to hear the opposite.  Have a look:

Arizona Republican State Representative David Stringer addressed the Yavapai County Republican Men’s Forum this week and called immigration an “existential threat” to the United States.

Here’s how that works.

Stringer lamented that “there aren’t enough white kids to go around” in Arizona public schools right now. “Sixty percent of public school children in the state of Arizona today are minorities. That complicates racial integration because there aren’t enough white kids to go around.”

And this is what happens when there aren’t enough white kids …

And when you look at that 60 percent number for public school students, just carry that forward 10 or 15 years. It’s going to change the demographic voting base of this state. And that’s what’s going on around the country. Immigration is politically destabilizing.

You know, just like letting women vote did.

And the next thing you know, a black man might get elected president.

Here ya go —

Thanks to Carl for the heads up.  

At an old Walmart in South Texas, 1,500 immigrant boys ages 10 to 17, forcibly separated from their parents, are welcomed to the Trump Gulag by this cheerful message …

I am serious.  It says, “Sometimes by losing a battle you find a new way to win the war.”

The boys are allowed 2 hours of fresh air everyday.

If this isn’t a training ground for new terrorists who hate America, I’d be shocked.  I think these young men are likely to find a way, as Trump says, to win the war.

Not only are these gulags unsustainable, evil, dehumanizing, shameful, they are also a breeding ground for future hate.

Look, when the Southern Baptists and Catholics both agree on something, we might want to listen.

By the way, this is a private set-up so you gotta wonder who’s making money off it.

The White House Gift Shop was created in 1946 by order of President Truman to sell presidential merchandise to visitors and the general public.  It is 100% non-partisan, sells memorabilia from past presidents as well as White House specific merchandise.  The funds raised from the sale of merchandise supports the uniformed Secret Service at the White House.

The Gift Shop now has a competitor.  True to his cheesy form, Trump now has HIS OWN gift shop, selling all things Trump, from autographed portraits to replica “signing pens” that he’s used for his nonstop effort to erase the Obama presidency.  Even MORE cheesy?  He lists the address of the shop as 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.  So, to be clear – Donald Trump is running a private enterprise OUT OF OUR WHITE HOUSE to cash in on this elected office. Don’t believe it?  Here’s a screen shot of the bottom of his merchandising email for his flash sale of his replica “signing pen”.

That’s right, the address of this business is Donald J. Trump, 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., Washington, DC.  It doesn’t get much worse than this.  It seems the least he could do is put the shop address as his hotel down the street where he’s raking in millions of dollars of money paid by foreign government officials trying to curry favor.

Hurry! Only 15 more hours left to buy your replica signing pen!  Or, how about a genuwine autographed portrait of Melania (sorry, she’s clothed in these pics; I’m sure for the right price you can get one of her nude shots).  Or, how about a framed front page of inauguration day?  If you want cheese, here’s your chance.

CBS is reporting that Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Trump’s spokesperson who, more than any other WH spokesperson in history, sold her soul to daily stand before the American people and spew lies and hate in a continuous stream, has apparently found her limit.  She’s out by the end of the year.  Her underling, Raj Shah, will follow her out the door.  I can just imagine who’s next. Unfortunately, Chuck Barris, aged host of the now defunct Gong Show, died last year.

God knows what we get next.

Trump is considering opening a tent city to house all the children we are abducting from parents seeking political asylum.

The Department of Health and Human Services will visit Fort Bliss, a sprawling Army base near El Paso in the coming weeks to look at a parcel of land where the administration is considering building a tent city to hold between 1,000 and 5,000 children, according to U.S. officials and other sources familiar with the plans.

HHS officials confirmed that they’re looking at the Fort Bliss site along with Dyess Air Force Base in Abilene and Goodfellow AFB in San Angelo for potential use as temporary shelters.

I don’t think Trump knows that’s been tried before and resulted in a prison riot because conditions were so horrible.

I have been to El Paso and to Abilene (nicely referred to as the armpit of Texas).  It’s hell hot. It’s dry. There is sand everywhere. There is no vegetation. People regularly die from heat in these cities.  The only reason Abilene exists is Dyess Air Base, which is where nukes and B-1s were stored. Well, we don’t have nukes there now and the only thing a B1 can do is deliver nukes. So now they just do thunderous practicing runs over the mountains surrounding the city.

Fort Bliss is worse.

So round up the kids and stick them in a tent in Abilene.  Or a tent anydamnwhere.
