The Congress and Homeland Security selected these countries in 2016 and before (Screenshot of visa waiver categories, US Customs and Border Protection)
Where is the “Muslim ban”? It turns out this was a form of fake news, or alternative facts. Trump didn’t select seven “Muslim-majority” countries. US President Barack Obama’s administration selected these seven Muslim-majority countries.
The Department of Homeland Security targeted these seven countries over the last years as countries of concern. In February 2016 “The Department of Homeland Security today announced that it is continuing its implementation of the Visa Waiver Program Improvement and Terrorist Travel Prevention Act of 2015 with the addition of Libya, Somalia, and Yemen as three countries of concern, limiting Visa Waiver Program travel for certain individuals who have traveled to these countries.” It noted “the three additional countries designated today join Iran, Iraq, Sudan and Syria as countries subject to restrictions for Visa Waiver Program travel for certain individuals.” It was the US policy under Obama to restrict and target people “who have been present in Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, at any time on or after March 1, 2011 (with limited government/military exceptions).” This was text of the US Customs and Border Protection in 2015 relating to “the Visa Waiver Program and Terrorist Travel Protection Act of 2015“. The link even includes the seven nation list in it: “Iraq, Syria, Iran, SUdan, Somalia or Yemen.” And the media knew this back in May 2016 when some civil rights groups complained about it. | Seth J.

The communists are trying to twist it into a religious restriction which is of course a violation of the 1st amendment.
To all communists, the first response always is to lie.
And they don't even lie very well.

Overall, the Trump election has turned down the heat on the scalding cauldron of silly chili but at the same time dumped a ton of capsaicin in that churning vat of doom.
The temperature heat has slightly decreased but the chemical heat has greatly increased and accelerated.
The pot still has to blow before the kitchen can be scoured.
Hunker down, tooter up.
Posted by: ghostsniper at January 29, 2017 8:35 AMAll Trump is doing so far is enforcing laws that Obama opted not to enforce, or at best pretended to enforce. If the rads don't like these laws, they can lobby to have them amended or rescinded, or go to court and try to get them declared unconstitutional, which would have an effect. All this screaming and sign waving is just so much hot air without effect.
Posted by: BillH at January 29, 2017 9:28 AMUsing the Trumpian method of negotiation, I say we just put a bullet in their heads when they land on the tarmac. Then the Executive Order doesn't look so bad, does it?
I got the sh#t kicked out of me on this website a couple of years ago for suggesting that queers are fascists because they force you to bake their dam cakes "or else."
By Trumpian negotiation terms, you'd line the bastards up and shoot them ... that position alone forces the Left to revert back to the center, thus maintaining the simple status quo.
Problem with the Repubs is that they always negotiate from the middle. Trump just forces the Left back to the Right, and voila ... and we end up back in the middle where we ought to be.
Posted by: edaddy at January 29, 2017 6:49 PMThere is no such thing as left and right, dem and rep.
Just communists and freedomists, and no, there are no variables.

This is where the Nazis made a fatal mistake. They should have created the Nazi religion not the Nazi political system. Everyone with two or more brain cells knows that Islam is a political system under the guise of a religion. I would not try to argue it is not a religion but first and foremost it is a political system whose agenda is to take over states and populations and either convert them to their Islamic political system or enslave and kill them. Our constitution protects private/individual practice of religion. Some interpret this as a suicide pact which says if an enemy disguised as a religion seeks to overthrow you any action on our part to rebuff this effort is unconstitutional. It is not of course. At the most the constitution allows Muslims to pray and observe their religion but it does not force us to bow to their religion or to give up our country to them. This penchant by the left to interpret anything and everything in terms most harmful to our republic is going to get a lot of people killed. But, that seems to be the agenda of the left. Most of the MSM, the entire Democrat party and a number of cuckservatives are for their own reasons willing and even eager to support the left in this effort. I'm not sure we can fix this. Between Trump derangement syndrome and the far left activists and useful idiots I don't think we can stop this suicide mission of the left. It will take a wakeup call like 9/11 but bigger. The pause from the left after 9/11 was measured in a few months before they were back on their anti-American crusade. I don't think the occasional night club or airport shooting will slow their efforts. I see only two possibilities: A. We suffer a horrendous terrorist attack that wakes up the silent majority and those on the left who are merely useful idiots, or B. We gradually become an occupied country much as we see happening in France, England, Italy, Germany, etc. until a critical mass of anti-Americans and muslims is reached and we have full scale jihad right here in the good old US of A. I truly do not believe that there is a possibility of a third option where we stop the slow motion invasion and revert to a constitutional Republic once again.
