Bernie Sanders Has Already Drafted ‘Dozens Of Executive Orders’ To Bypass Congress If Elected President

The documents, which were obtained by the Washington Post, show that Sanders’ has executive orders prepared on a wide range of issues that include the environment, immigration, and the economy.
Sanders’ team has prepared over a dozen options for reversing President Donald Trump’s immigration policies, with one of them being the immediate halting of construction on the border wall. Another potential executive order would remove the limit for the number of refugees that could be admitted to the United States, while a third would reinstate Barack Obama’s DREAMER program, which granted legal status to undocumented immigrants who were brought to this country as children.

This is just the beginning of the executive orders that Sanders has planned. One order legalizes marijuana in the entirety of the United States, and another would allow the U.S. to import prescription drugs from Canada. Sanders would also declare climate change to be a national emergency as soon as he took office, and he would ban the export of crude oil.
This shows that Sanders is anticipating that Republicans will keep control of the Senate come November, and that he has no intention of letting this stop him from achieving his radical agenda.
Another document obtained by the post was written by Faiz Shakir, Sanders’s campaign manager; Warren Gunnels, a senior adviser; and Josh Orton, the campaign policy director, who all urge him to use the executive orders to undo the many “wrongs” of Trump’s presidency.
“We cannot accept delays from Congress on some of the most pressing issues, especially those like immigration where Trump has governed with racism and for his own corrupt benefit,” they said.

These documents make it all the more terrifying that Sanders has taken the lead in Democratic primary polls, according to The Blaze. This man clearly thinks that he is above the law, and he would destroy America as we know it if he is able to get to the White House.
Now, more than ever, it’s important that we ensure Trump is reelected in 2020, if for no other reason than to keep this nutcase Sanders out of power.

Many leftist media outlets have been caught in a lie, claiming a portion of the border wall fell over due to high winds, failing to mention that its concrete base hadn’t set.
Border Wall Falls Due to Concrete, Not Wind!
Media organizations, including CNN, NBC News, Huffington Post and others, posted articles and videos relating to a section of the border wall near Mexicali that collapsed due to high gusts of wind near Mexicali. CNN’s headline claimed that “Portion of US border wall in California falls over in high winds and lands on Mexican side,” while NBC ran with “Part of President Trump’s proposed border wall fell over because of high winds.”

Two moments on Thursday were indicative of reality slowly , finally , grabbing hold of the Democrats and bringing them face to face with their impending defeat in the impeachment trial of President Trump .
The first was when Senator Elizabeth Warren called the credibility of Chief Justice John Roberts into disrepute in a question she posed from the floor of the Senate .
The question he had to read from his perch as presiding officer was , “ At a time when large majorities of Americans have lost faith in government , does the fact that the chief justice @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which Republican senators have thus far refused to allow witnesses or evidence contribute to the loss of legitimacy of the chief justice , the Supreme Court , and the Constitution ?

The Coronavirus: Is it Time to Panic?

Unless you ’ ve been hiding under a rock , you ’ ve probably read all the front-page headlines about a deadly outbreak that started in China and has been working it ’ s way into other areas of the world despite great efforts to contain it .
In fact , last Thursday the World Health Organization declared it a “ global health emergency , ” and at the press of a button , it seems , has started quite the world-wide panic… But what are the facts ?

Dr. Trish Perl , chief of infections diseases and geographic medicine at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center says , “ So far the mortality rate for the virus is about the same as a bad year of the flu.
” So basically it ’ s just a different strain of the common flu ?
Yeah , pretty much !
According to the CDC , the worst symptoms associated with the virus include Fever , Cough , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that could arise are runny nose , headache , cough , sore throat , fever , and maybe a general feeling of being unwell .
What you won ’ t hear from the news , or many official health sources , is information about how long the symptoms last .
I find that rather interesting because the coronavirus does not kill the vast majority of the people it infects .
Telling people that the virus is similar to the common flu and will most likely put you in bed for a week and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ could calm the panic that they ’ ve started and that might be a little too anti-climatic for them .
If you read closely you ’ ll see first world countries are at little risk .
World health officials have noted several times that the highest risks were for countries with less sophisticated health care systems .
Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus , director-general of the World Health Organization commented at a recent press conference , “ Our greatest concern is the potential for the virus to spread to countries with weaker health systems @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with it.
” I don ’ t mean to take anyone ’ s health issues lightly , especially something like a virus that has taken human lives , but I also think it ’ s important to understand the reality of the situation .
And the fact is , if you are healthy and have a normal functioning immune system there is no need for panic .
The coronavirus has claimed about 140 lives at the time of this writing .
A life is a life , and I send my prayers and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ should you be worried about ?
Even though 140 lives lost is a tragedy , it ’ s important for us to keep a perspective and understanding of what the most dangerous health risks are and what we should be doing to avoid them .
…If you live in an industrialized country like America , chronic disease is the real epidemic !
This year alone worldwide , heart disease will claim 17.9 million lives , cancer 9.6 million lives , and diabetes 2.2 million lives .
Those are scary numbers !
The epidemic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ contained .

Now that Virginia ’ s annual gun rights rally is over and the catastrophic predictions have been proven unfounded , some reflection on the pre-event Democrat hyperbole is warranted .
By all accounts , the rally , held on and adjacent the state capitol grounds in Richmond was well attended and peaceful .
Police reported no disturbances or arrests .
This despite Gov .
Ralph Northam ’ s firearms freak out about “ Intel ” showing “ credible threats ” of violence by “ white supremacists/nationalists ” at the rally .
Even the Washington Post reported , “ Weapons , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rally in Virginia capital.

Why should it be any different at the state level ?
What are the odds such reports of threatened violence were either conjured or exaggerated ?
Oh , some idiot probably made online threats .
That happens all the time .
But we ’ d be ill advised not to question the honesty-challenged Gov ’ s sources , vetting , and ( over ) reaction .
Or , perhaps real fringe white @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they do ) , but did Northam and the Democrat media negligently associate the threats with the rally ’ s organizers ?

What wouldn ’ t the left do ?
The annual gathering of gun rights activists had particular significance this year because of Northam and the state ’ s newly minted majority Democrat legislature ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
According to WRIC News , “ Dozens of gun control bills are quickly moving through the 2020 legislative session.
” They include “ red flag ” laws , limiting gun purchases , so-called universal background checks , and allowing localities to establish “ gun-free zones , ” meaning allowing localities to infringe on Virginians ’ Second Amendment rights .

Mark Cheeseman reminded people , on WTVR , “ It ’ s a right , that ’ s it .
Just like your First Amendment Right , Freedom of Speech , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , 14th Amendment Right , which leads back to the Second .
There ’ s really no argument .
It ’ s non-negotiable.
” Mr. Cheeseman ’ s gun rights argument seems obvious , but the pre-rally reactions raise other concerns about Virginia ’ s Democrat-controlled government beyond the legislature .
During the run up to the rally , gun rights groups went to court to block Northam ’ s gun ban on the capitol grounds .
The judge denied their motion .
And then the state ’ s Supreme Court refused to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s ban was an obvious infringement on not only gun rights but by extension , possibly , the right to assemble .
It ’ s kind of like allowing a group of motorcyclists to hold a rally but banning their motorcycles .
Motorcycles are legal to own and possess in Virginia and so are guns ( at least , for now ) .
So , bottom line , in the Commonwealth of Virginia , today , the Governor can unilaterally ban guns on capitol grounds by declaring a dubious state of emergency , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gun rights .
Then the people go to the courts for remedy , and the courts rebuff the people ’ s plea to protect their rights .
Then the demeanor of the rally proves the over-caution was totally unwarranted , but gun-owners are left abused by their governor , legislature , and courts .
And you can toss the media in there for good measure .
Where does that leave the people , and how does it make them feel about a government supposedly of the people is unresponsive to such basic , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ talking about something arbitrary .
We ’ re talking about a bona fide constitutional right to keep and bear arms .
Regardless of what the anti-gun rights crowd thinks about that right , Americans still have a natural , unalienable right to arm themselves for self-defense .
Despite Gov .
Northam ’ s anti-Second Amendment hysteria , gun rights leaders advised attendees to obey the laws , and the House Republican leader , Todd Gilbert , admonished any “ hate ” groups , such as white supremacists who wanted to spread their “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ advised to stay away from the event .
The gun rights group organizing the rally , the Virginia Citizen ’ s Defense League , urged 10,000 people to attend the rally on state house grounds unarmed .
But they also called for “ two to five ” people to attend the rally off capitol grounds armed .
Post-rally reports estimate the rally attracted some 22,000 American gun owners affirming their rights .
President Trump endorsed the rally tweeting , “ Your 2nd Amendment is under very serious attack in the Commonwealth of Virginia @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you vote for Democrats , they will take your guns away.
” He ’ s right .
Again , this is not your grandparent ’ s Democrat Party .
And , perhaps , the Republican Party will actually put up a fight for the legislature in Virginia next election .

Where does that leave the people, and how does it make them feel about a government supposedly of the people is unresponsive to such basic, inherent rights? We’re not talking about something arbitrary. We’re talking about a bona fide constitutional right to keep and bear arms. Regardless of what the anti-gun rights crowd thinks about that right, Americans still have a natural, unalienable right to arm themselves for self-defense.
Despite Gov. Northam’s anti-Second Amendment hysteria, gun rights leaders advised attendees to obey the laws, and the House Republican leader, Todd Gilbert, admonished any “hate” groups, such as white supremacists who wanted to spread their “garbage,” were not welcome and advised to stay away from the event.
The gun rights group organizing the rally, the Virginia Citizen’s Defense League, urged 10,000 people to attend the rally on state house grounds unarmed. But they also called for “two to five” people to attend the rally off capitol grounds armed. Post-rally reports estimate the rally attracted some 22,000 American gun owners affirming their rights.
President Trump endorsed the rally tweeting, “Your 2nd Amendment is under very serious attack in the Commonwealth of Virginia. That’s what happens when you vote for Democrats, they will take your guns away.” He’s right. Again, this is not your grandparent’s Democrat Party. And, perhaps, the Republican Party will actually put up a fight for the legislature in Virginia next election.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-01-31--CNN Slams Trump For Appointing Non-Diverse White House Task Force On Coronavirus

CNN took their obsession with hating President Donald Trump to a sickening new level yesterday by publishing a story in which they shamed him for appointing a White House task force on coronavirus that lacked diversity .
On Thursday , the World Health Organization officially declared the coronavirus outbreak to be a global health emergency .
One day before that , Trump took to Twitter to post photo of a briefing he ’ d received on the situation from the task force he ’ d appointed to handle coronavirus .

We are in the midst of a health emergency that could bring the entire world to its knees and kill millions of people.

2020 Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg has said time and again that he believes Americans who voted for President Donald Trump are racist .
On Sunday , CNN ’ s Jake Tapper asked Buttigieg if he regretted saying this .
Does Pete Buttigieg Really Believe 63 Million Americans are Racist ?
“ Republicans have been seizing , including in a new Trump ad , a statement you made that ‘ Anyone who supported this president is , at best , looking the other way on racism.
’ You ’ ve also said that on my show , ” Tapper explained @ @ @ @ @ @ @ million Americans who you ’ re painting with a pretty broad brush .
Do you regret saying that at all ?
” “ No .
I ’ m very concerned about the racial division that this president has fostered , ” the former South Bend , Indiana mayor explained .
“ And I ’ m meeting a lot of voters who are no longer willing to look the other way on that , looking for a new political home.
” Polls Show Trump Approval is Up with Minority Voters If Buttigieg believes Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ host of recent polls might bely that argument .
An Emerson poll in early December put Trump at 35 percent with black voters and 38 percent with Hispanics .
“ If you add in Asian voters at 28 percent approval , ” notes Emerson ’ s director of polling Spencer Kimball , “ our number is very close to the new Marist poll , ” which finds Trump ’ s approval at 33 percent among non-white voters .
Trump received 34 percent approval among black voters in a recent RasmussenReports poll , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ approval among non-white voters at 26 percent .
Rush Limbaugh said of these polls , “ We ’ ve got three polls today showing Donald Trump at 30 percent or higher with black voters .
We ’ ve got Emerson , we ’ ve got Rasmussen and we ’ ve got Marist !
” RELATED : Biden ’ s Strange New Anti-Trump Ad : Same Old Message , Same Likely Result ‘ You can ’ t dispute the fact that African-Americans have been benefiting from President Trump ’ s policies ’ “ You @ @ @ @ @ @ @ African-Americans have been benefiting from President Trump ’ s policies , ” said Katrina Pierson with the Trump campaign .
“ Four years ago , the president asked the black community , ‘ What do you have to lose ; ’ now we are thinking , ‘ Imagine what we stand to gain !
’ ” No doubt the unemployment rate falling to a 50-year-low has something to do with Trump ’ s rising popularity with non-white voters .
Buttigieg can continue to call Trump supporters racist all he wants .
He ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Democratic nomination–much less the only poll that counts in November .

Do people that support Warren, Bernie, Buttigieg, or Biden really think that these people will vote for someone that has implied they are all racist and evil for supporting Trump? Give me a break. #YangUnitesAmerica pic.twitter.com/o5cnTASSDE — Jonathan D. Chang (@jdschang) February 2, 2020

Omar was making a point of trashing America for homelessness , a cause dear to her heart as she pushes her ‘ Homes For All Act , ’ legislation allegedly designed to make housing ‘ a human right.

“ And I remember turning to my father and saying , ‘ This doesn ’ t look like the America you promised . '

” Perhaps chillingly , in relaying her story , she mentions something her father said to her after she expressed disappointment in America .
“ My father looked at me and said , ‘ Hush , child , we are going to get to our America , ' ” Omar said .
Rep. Omar is currently reportedly under investigation by multiple federal agencies for numerous crimes including , as Fox News has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , tax fraud , student loan fraud , and possibly bigamy.
