Breitbart columnist Kris Kobach, who President Trump is considering appointing as his administration’s “immigration tsar,” suggested on Fox Business that creating “camps” for asylum seekers in the United States is such a brilliant idea.

He tells Lou Dobbs right there on teevee …

Number two, and this is deploy dozens of immigration judges as well as a fleet of passenger planes, and the thousands of empty mobile home trailers that the United States owns right now and is attempting to sell at bargain prices on the internet.

Instead of selling them, deploy them to the border cities, and create processing towns that are confined, and so when someone comes in and falsely claims asylum, we don’t release them for six months onto the streets of the United States.

We process them right there, in that camp, where they have the three square meals, they’re living in a nice mobile home, and then as soon as they’re done, as soon as the claim is rejected, they’re on the next plane back home, and then the people back home suddenly realize ‘Hey he just left here two weeks ago, and yet he’s back, maybe going in these caravans isn’t such a great deal anymore.’ So let’s process the claims right there at the border and not release these people into the United States where they just disappear.

The Dobbs jumps in, “And thirdly, bring all of that unused government property to use, effectively and at very little cost, if not no cost, in fact, to the Department of Homeland Security.”

It’s free.  Because we only give them three squares a day.  Not actual food – just three big cardboard squares a day. Eat ’em, wear ’em, raise them as pets, we don’t care. And we’re not going to have security because we’re building a wall around the place and Mexico is going to pay for it.

It has come to my attention that to sell any idea to Fox viewers, all you have to tell them is that it’s gonna hurt other people a whole lot, and it’s free, free, free!

Okay, I want you to meet two upstanding men in Arkansas.

Charles Ferris is 50 years old, and Chris Hicks is 36.  They are friends. Ferris describes himself as an Evangelical Anglican priest. He is the founder of a Knights Templar-inspired church.  I do not know what Hicks does for a living but I suspect it is equally distinguished.

Last Sunday they were drinking on the porch in Bentonville, Arkansas. Ferris had a bullet proof vest and a .22-caliber semi-automatic rifle so he suggested that they test the vest. Now you know right here that this is not going to turn out well, right?

Ferris on the left, Hicks on the right

Ferris owns the vest so he went first. So Hicks shot him in the chest and the vest worked but Ferris said it hurt like the dickens. He had a large bruise on his chest.  Hicks went next and Reverend Ferris “said he was angry about getting shot, and he ‘unloaded the clip’ with the remaining five rounds into Hicks’ back, according to the affidavit. None of the rounds penetrated the vest.”

But the best part comes now.

Ferris on better days

Later that night Ferris was still hurting, and apparently whining, so his wife suggested he go to the hospital.  When he got the hospital, they notified authorities about a gunshot. Ferris, who I remind you is a man of God, told authorities that he was paid $200 to protect “an asset” and that he was shot six times by a man in a white suit while guarding his charge at Hobbs State Park.

You’d think the case would be closed right there but the cops, being cops, were suspicious.

About that time, Ferris’ wife shows up at the hospital and spills the beans. The newspaper didn’t say this but you kinda get the idea that she’s ready to shoot him without the vest. I think he’s spending all their money on being a Vestment Queen.

To his credit, Ferris said he lied to protect Hicks. You know, the man he just shot in the back five times.

They were both arrested, made bond, and will be arraigned in May 13.

Thanks to Claudia for the heads up.

Trump really has a thing about windmills.  Did Don Quixote scare him as a child or something?

First he says they don’t work unless the wind is blowing at the time you want electricity.  Yeah, and solar powers doesn’t work at night.

Here’s the latest.

No, “they” don’t say that.  You just made that up.

I suspect the petro-chemical industry doesn’t hurt anybody, right?  You keep breathing oil and coal and I’ll sit out by the windmills and take my chances with ear cancer.

He doesn’t even know where his father was born.

In one of Trump’s most bewildering soliloquies since “covfefe”, trump rambled on for several minutes yesterday on national television in front of the head of NATO, repeating that we needed to know the “oranges” of the Mueller report.  It was a rehash of his whole hate Democrats, hate John McCain schtick, but the “oranges” references were confusing until just about everyone reached the conclusion that he was talking about “origins” of the report.  Never mind that we already know the oranges of the report (the dozens of contacts with the Russians, foreknowledge of WikiLeaks email dumps, bragging about how the Russians love him, and firing of James Comey for investigating the relationship), this guy’s mind is truly failing, and he confidently babbles nonsense on a pretty regular basis now.

Have a look, if you can stand it:

Orange you glad he’s our president?

Another chemical plant blew up yesterday near Houston. So far, one killed, 2 life flighted, shelter in place called, schools taping around doors and shutting off air circulation.

Yes, tightening the reins of the EPA and OSHA is working so very well.

And in related blowing-up news, the chairman of the North Carolina GOP has been indicted.

The chair of the North Carolina Republican Party, Robin Hayes, has been indicted on charges including wire fraud, bribery and aiding and abetting. Durham businessman and political donor Greg Lindberg, along with two of his associates: John Gray, and John Palermo Jr., were also indicted. Lindberg is the owner of Global Bankers Insurance Group headquartered in Durham, N.C.

Well, at least it wasn’t a sex scandal. I guess we just got lucky and aren’t forced to think about a Republican man having sex.
