The fall of Lindsey Graham into the dark Trumpian pit of demagoguery, division and incitement is complete. No one should ever take Graham seriously on a military matter again as Trump abuses the US military with his political stunts and incitement at the border.

Finally, a president willing to take on this absurd policy of birthright citizenship.

Trump says number of military troops deployed to US-Mexican border could go as high as 15,000
President Donald Trump says the number of military troops deployed to the U.S.-Mexican border could go as high as 15,000.
Trump told reporters at the White House on Wednesday that “we’ll go up to anywhere between 10 and 15,000 military personnel on top of Border Patrol, ICE and everybody else at the border.”
He says the move would be aimed at preventing the entry of a caravan of migrants traveling from Central America. The caravan is still nearly 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers) from the border.
Trump says that the U.S. was “going to be prepared” and that the migrants are “not coming into our country.”
Currently there are 2,100 National Guard helping at the border. The Pentagon says an additional 5,200 active-duty troops could join them.

"The president is self-destructing," an official said.
A wave of optimism reportedly swept the White House after the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, reports Vanity Fair. But that feeling was short lived.
According to the magazine, insiders say Trump has been frustrated by the current news cycle. After a week in which one of his supporters sent packages containing pipe bombs to his critics—and a virulent anti-Semite murdered 11 people at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh—the president appears to be alarmed at the prospect of Democrats sweeping Congress.
“The president is self-destructing,” an official said.
If the expected blue wave does materialize, that likely means Trump administration officials will be buried in investigations. That, in turn, is making some officials likely to leave the White House, Vanity Fair reports. “There’s going to be a lot of departures,” a former West Wing official told the magazine.
White House officials have suggested the president give an address emphasizing unity.

Dems continue to get net increases in favorable ratings changes in Congressional races.
But none of this matters if folks don't vote. If you want to change the direction of our country & put a check and balance on @realDonaldTrump, vote & get others to vote.

Paul Ryan should be focusing on holding the Majority rather than giving his opinions on Birthright Citizenship, something he knows nothing about! Our new Republican Majority will work on this, Closing the Immigration Loopholes and Securing our Border!

So-called Birthright Citizenship, which costs our Country billions of dollars and is very unfair to our citizens, will be ended one way or the other. It is not covered by the 14th Amendment because of the words “subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” Many legal scholars agree.....
