Let's Trigger Lefties With Talk of a Third Term for President Trump
Top O' the Briefing
Happy Friday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. The Sine Qua Non Sequitur is enjoying various olive loaf hors d’oeuvres at a Spanish-dubbed Hee Haw retrospective this weekend.
Let's enjoy a little World Cup humor before we get to the other stuff. This was floating around social media and cracked me up: England and France are the only two Muslim countries left in the World Cup.
We're going to take a quick look at a couple more reasons to enjoy this time we have with a real president in charge, then head off into that good weekend.
I continue to marvel at not only how much President Donald Trump has on his plate, but also at the vigor with which he deals with it all. Yes, it's true that presidents tend to have a lot on their plates, but this president has extra helpings because of the nightmare that preceded him in the Oval Office.
That he keeps the schedule that he does at the age of 80 should become the stuff of legend one day, on the off chance that historians decide to become honest again in the future.
President Trump has had a busy week, what with the Independence Day celebrations, NATO, and Iran all on the agenda. There were a couple of other things that I really enjoyed, and that's what we'll focus on today.
President Donald Trump has declared he is requesting a rehearing for a crucial birthright citizenship case after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against the original understanding of the Fourteenth Amendment and opened the floodgates for “birth tourists” and “anchor babies.”
The current warped view of birthright citizenship is that any child born on U.S. soil is a citizen even if his parents just walked or flew across the border, or even if the parents are affiliated with enemy governments or with international criminal organizations. After the Supreme Court majority ruled this was the right view of birthright citizenship at the end of June, ignoring historical evidence to the contrary and serious threats to our elections and national sovereignty, Trump first urged Congress to pass legislation to correct the decision. But he seems somewhat impatient with the length of time this will take and is seeking a quicker resolution.
Trump's relentless focus on cleaning up the host of horrible immigration policies that have plagued this nation for decades is what endears him to the people who were on board with him first. For those of us who live in border states, it's also some of his most important work.
It's true that the Biden years made the border situation much worse, but politicians on both sides of the aisle have been doing whatever they could to make things awful for all of my political life. Sure, there were a few Republicans here and there who were hard-nosed about border security, but too many in the GOP would pussyfoot around the issue or, worse yet, throw in with the Democrats on various amnesty schemes. That's still happening.
While many in the GOP are still unclear on just how important it is to radically overhaul our immigration policies, President Trump is telling the Supreme Court of the United States to check its work. It's not common, but that's actually a thing that presidents can do. A lesser leader would have simply thrown up his hands in resignation once the highest court in the land weighed in.
Trump's not having any of their nonsense. This is a long shot, but it's a shot that had to be taken.
My good friend and Townhall colleague Matt Vespa covered Trump’s latest baller move:
When Democrats and the liberal media finally realize this, you can bet they'll start spreading the ‘Trump is trying to steal the election’ narratives. Anything this man does is met with apocalyptic reactions from his detractors, which is both extremely annoying and somewhat entertaining. Tonight’s latest move: Trump has fired two Democrats from the federal Election Assistance Commission.
There has already been some caterwauling from the left. Matt's got one of the reactions in his post.
Election integrity is another important issue that the president is often forced to deal with on his own, where he can. Dare we once again bring up the importance of passing the SAVE America Act? Yes, we dare. And we can rest assured that President Trump isn't going to let it go.
Regarding the headline, I do love stoking third-term hysteria among the lefties. We know we're joking, but they don't.
Anything I can do to keep the ulcers humming along over there. Have a great weekend, everyone.
