On Tuesday’s Mark Levin show, Were there any federal district judges out there who weren’t appointed by Barack Obama? It appears all of these immigration cases wind up in front of left-wing kook judges. Now another Obama judge is blocking President Trump’s cutoff of funds to sanctuary cities. It’s remarkable that we have federal judges who are appointed by the most radical leftist president in American history, who take his political philosophy, reverse what is basically 100 years of jurisprudence, that they have fought for, and then impose their will. You can’t have a centralized administrative state by allowing Congress to do its job. San Francisco is free to be a sanctuary city, even though it defies federal law. However, now the federal government is not free to withhold federal funds from a city defying federal law. After that, the one area where Trump has succeeded, is in unravelling the executive orders of Obama. He is using same power Obama did to undo what Obama did. However, the President is having a tough time with the Republican Congress. There is no excuse for what Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan are doing or not doing. It is time to roll Chuck Schumer and the Democrats. The “Art of the Deal” should be the “Art of Victory”. Why aren’t the first 100 days a measuring stick for Congress and the Democrats? Can anyone name one piece of positive bipartisan legislation that Nancy Pelosi and Schumer have put forth? In addition, the Republicans have the Presidency, House and the Senate and it is their fault the government shuts down? This is not true, but it was the same during the Obama years. No matter what they always get blamed. The Republicans need to take their case to the American people. Many of these elected Republicans don’t want to make waves, because they want to hold onto power. Finally, how about we drive down the cost of the lumber industry and make it more competitive rather than passing tariffs on Canadian lumber? Whenever you hear a tariff is enacted, that is a sales or vat tax on the American consumer. Let’s not pretend that protectionism and tariffs don’t put the American people out of work. What the Trump administration should do is open our federal lands to logging and have us compete with Canada that way.
