(Natural News) Politics is a blood sport and politicians are hypocrites and neither of these facts is in dispute.
But sometimes the lying and hypocrisy reach a critical level and must be pointed out for the good of the country. This is one of those times.
Earlier this week, House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., met with POTUS Donald Trump in the Oval Office for a highly anticipated public discussion about funding for the president’s long-sought U.S.-Mexico border wall.
Most seasoned politicos never really believed that anything productive was going to come of those talks given that a) POTUS Trump appears dead-set on getting his funding and b) No Democrat is going to vote to give the president one red cent in border funding because the party of the donkey has become the party of open borders.
And, in fact, the talks devolved into chaotic back-and-forth exchanges between all three participants without anything getting resolved.
But Democrats’ new concerns about the cost of the wall are not just laughable, they are hypocritical on a whole new level.
“To the extent that he could do so at all, it would be reckless and irresponsible to waste national security resources on a border wall that is nothing more than an in-kind contribution to his re-election campaign,” said Rep. Nita Lowey, D-N.Y., said following the Oval Office meeting. “No matter how many years you spread it over, $5 billion for President Trump’s wasteful wall is too much money.”
“Democrats have criticized a full-length version of Trump’s proposed border wall as a waste of money,” noted Politifact in a “fact check” article claiming that Democratic opposition to border security is “false” (no, it’s not — it’s true).
Not surprisingly, many of these newfound Democratic penny pinchers had no problems when their president, Barack Obama, paid the terrorist-supporting Iranian regime billions of dollars as part of the “nuclear deal” that POTUS has since canceled.

Paying off Iran was just fine but Democrats are complaining about paying for a wall?

As noted by conservative pundit Tammy Bruce Tuesday night in an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, the Obama administration gave Iran “$150 billion” as part of that deal, but somehow they are balking at $5 billion to secure our country from potential terrorist infiltration and deadly drugs.
On Wednesday, the president tweeted about it: “The Democrats and President Obama gave Iran 150 Billion Dollars and got nothing, but they can’t give 5 Billion Dollars for National Security and a Wall?”

Indeed, there is a case to be made for the president’s claims, though Democrats won’t believe it or want to hear it.
First of all, recall that the Obama regime sent the Iranians $1.7 billion in cold, hard cash — on a transport plane in the middle of the night — as a ransom for American hostages Iran was holding. Obama and the Democrat-aligned “mainstream” press said it wasn’t a ransom but when you pay captors cash to get them to release captives, well, that’s ransom.
The administration spun it as a ‘refund’ plus interest on an arms deal that was scrapped following the 1979 Iranian revolution; $400 million plus 25 years’ worth of interest. But of course, Iranian ‘revolutionaries’ captured and held American diplomatic staff hostage for 444 days afterward. And let’s not forget that Iran has long been a state sponsor of terrorism.
There’s more. President Obama lied about how Iran would remain barred from the U.S. banking system as part of the nuclear deal. That gave Tehran access to unknown billions of dollars.
Bottom line: For Democrats to now complain that a $5 billion investment in securing our country is “too much” while giving the Obama White House a pass for enriching a terrorist-sponsoring regime is unacceptable hypocrisy.

Calling their bluff

President Trump hasn't dismissed his promise to build the wall and is willing to accept full responsibility to shut down the government in order to get funding.

December 14, 2018
By Anna L. Stark

Much has been said about President Trump's recent meeting at the White House with presumptive House majority leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer. While Pelosi talks a good game about the need for transparency in government, she balked at the idea of the media broadcasting her visit to the Oval Office. When the media cameras failed to leave after the obligatory pleasantries, she remarked, "I don't think we should have a debate in front of the American people." After a second failed request to meet in private, Pelosi remarked, "Let's call a halt to this. We have come in here ... in good faith to negotiate with you about how we can keep the government open." It's clear to even the casual observer that Speaker Pelosi doesn't want the American public to see or hear her defending the Democrats' desire to flood the country with illegals, in addition to thwarting President Trump's campaign promise to build a wall.
Pelosi's request to have a debate in private, behind closed doors and beyond the hearing of the American people, doesn't indicate she's willing to discuss anything in good faith, much less in a transparent manner. As a matter of fact, she was downright uncomfortable, and for good reason. First of all, President Trump is a world-class debater. He wasn't about to be lectured to by Nancy Pelosi, nor let her set the meeting agenda. Furthermore, Pelosi must have realized rather quickly that President Trump's intention was to not only control the course of the discussion in front of the cameras, but also to draw both her and Chuck Schumer into a conversation, in which the two Democrat leaders would be forced to admit they advocate for open borders, unfettered illegal immigration, and dismissing border security. Not exactly a troika of policy platitudes supported by the American people, nor in the economic best interest of the United States.

President Trump hasn't dismissed his promise to build the wall and is willing to accept full responsibility to shut down the government in order to get funding. It was, as they say in hockey, a hat trick -- three goals in quick succession. In plain speak, both Pelosi and Schumer were cleverly outmaneuvered, given that Trump has learned the game play of his opponents, turned their notorious strategy back on them, and then called their bluff. Maybe that explains Chuck Schumer's slouched posture during the meeting, head bent down, looking at his shoes, while Pelosi squirmed on the couch, prattling incoherently. The president is not going to compromise. Pelosi's post-meeting posturing and name-calling is par for the course. Not willing to admit that she was tremendously upstaged, she resorted to insults.
Unlike most politicians, who make a plethora of unobtainable and, in some cases, downright ridiculous campaign promises, President Trump is actually following through. After all, that's what his supporters elected him to do, and his business acumen is all about getting things done. Much to the chagrin of even the most virulent Trump-hater, the list of Trump's accomplishments is long, from the vastly improved economy and lowered unemployment rate to foreign trade policy favoring the United States to increased security and military defense spending, not to mention rolling back Obama's multitude of red-tape regulations and executive orders. And if shutting down the government in order to get Congress to pass funding for the border wall is the only tactic the Democrats understand, so be it. The migrant caravan fiasco couldn't have occurred at a more opportune time. If the goal of the caravan sponsors was to embarrass President Trump, they failed spectacularly. The American public isn't in favor of throwing open the border to thousands of uneducated, unskilled, and largely unemployable military-age young men despite the best efforts of a disingenuous MSM, attempting to portray the migrant mobs as displaced women with kids, fleeing violence in their home countries.
Whether or not the government will shut down in the next couple of weeks remains to be seen. If Pelosi and Schumer thought their White House meeting with President Trump was an opportunity to outsmart the president, they thought wrong. Donald Trump has said from day one he's working in the best interest of the American people, and apparently, he intends to build the wall.
