It’s Friday, June 22nd, 2018…but before we begin, two quick notes.\u00a0 First, 77 years ago today, at 0300 local time, the glare from some six thousand pieces of artillery heralded not only the start of the greatest land battle in history…<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

…but, thankfully<\/em><\/span>, the beginning of the end for Hitler’s\u00a0Tausendj\u00e4hriges\u00a0<\/em>Reich<\/em>.<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

Second, Larry Hogan’s just demonstrated<\/em><\/span><\/a> he’s no different than any other pandering politician:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cImmigration enforcement efforts should focus on criminals<\/em><\/span>, not separating innocent children from their families.\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0Silly us, here we thought anyone<\/em><\/span> attempting to illegally<\/em><\/span> enter the country\u00a0was<\/em><\/span> a criminal; guess it depends upon what your definition of “criminal” is!<\/strong><\/p>\n

By the way, if this report from NRO’s Jack Crowe is accurate<\/span><\/em>, we’re equally disappointed in The Donald:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trump Administration Will Reportedly No Longer Prosecute Migrants who Cross the Border Illegally with Children<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/h1>\n

“…\u201cWe\u2019re suspending prosecutions of adults who are members of family units until ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) can accelerate resource capability to allow us to maintain custody,\u201d a senior U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CPB) official told the\u00a0Post.<\/em><\/p>\n

The unnamed official further explained that many adults and children currently in federal custody will be released<\/span> due to the lack of adequate family detention centers<\/span><\/em>, where they could be held together in compliance with Trump\u2019s executive order<\/span><\/em>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

…CPB officials plan<\/span> to watch<\/span> migration patterns\u00a0<\/em>(Note: they plan to “watch”…not<\/span> “disrupt”!<\/em>)<\/span>\u00a0to determine if the failure to prosecute parents leads to a surge in family crossings<\/span><\/em>.<\/span> \u201cWe\u2019re going to watch closely<\/span> and do what we need to do<\/span><\/em>,\u201d the official said.<\/strong><\/span>“<\/p>\n

Whatever\u00a0that<\/em><\/span> means!\u00a0 Does the right hand in this Administration have even the faintest idea<\/em><\/span>\u00a0what the left is doing?!?\u00a0 Hells bells, why not just lay out a welcome mat:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is a curious capitulation, particularly given the latest polling data<\/em><\/span><\/a>…<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

…and<\/em><\/span> the fact\u00a0neither The Disloyal Opposition nor their MSM shills are giving him any credit at all<\/em><\/span> for his retreat.\u00a0 One begins to wonder whether the man’s lacking commitment to any<\/em><\/span> core principle at all<\/em><\/span>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Contrary to what Tim Swarens wrote at the\u00a0Indianapolis Star<\/em><\/span><\/a>, w<\/strong>e say:<\/strong><\/p>\n
