Rand Paul SILENCES liberals for latest Trump attack
Leftist critics suggested last week that Trump called Haitian people a derogatory term because he allegedly refered to the country as a “sh*thole” — so, rather than help lead the country the president has spent almost a full week answering questions about his “tough language.”
Paul served up the facts that Democrats were hoping would never get out. Trump isn’t a racist — and there’s proof. He spent thousands and thousands of dollars of his own money, in private, to help give vision back to over hundreds of people in Haiti post-earthquake.
This is before Trump was a politician. He gave the donation because he cared, not because he wanted to score political points.
“I think it is unfair to all of a sudden, paint him, ‘well, he’s a racist,’ when I know for a fact he cares very deeply about the people in Haiti because he helped to finance a trip, we were able to give vision back for 200 people in Haiti,” he said, according to the Washington Examiner.
Paul, an ophthalmologist, planned a medical mission trip to Haiti and Trump donated a large amount of money to help make that trip happen.
Speaking further about this trip while appearing on Fox News, Paul stated, “When I went to Haiti a few years ago, I went on a medical mission trip and we did cataract surgery for about 200 people who were largely blind before their surgery,” he said.
Take a look —
Would a person who has racist feeling towards the people of Haiti have funded a trip and surgeries for residents of that country? Of course not.
Did former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton donate thousands from her own checking account to help make surgeries happen for people in Haiti?
No, she would have used those donations towards her daughter’s wedding.

.@RandPaul: "I went to Haiti a few years ago, I went on a medical mission trip...I asked for donations before I went on the trip & one of those was to businessman @realdonaldtrump, who not only helped with the trip to Haiti but also helped with a previous trip that we took."

YOUNG ILLEGAL ALIENS COMMIT TWICE THE NUMBER OF CRIMES AS THEIR AMERICAN COUNTERPARTS
The report punctures claims by pro-amnesty advocates that young ‘dreamer’ illegals are vital to U.S. industry and civic life, and indicate that any amnesty will ensure that many more crimes — including murders and rapes — will be inflicted against Americans and legal immigrants, including Hispanics and blacks.
The report says:
Unfortunately, if the goal of DACA is to give citizenship to a particularly law-abiding group of undocumented immigrants, it is accomplishing the opposite of what was intended. As Table 8 shows, DACA age eligible undocumented immigrants are 250% more likely to be convicted of crimes than their share of the population. Those too old for DACA status are convicted at a relatively low rates (45.7% more than their share of the Arizona population).
The summary of the report, titled “Undocumented Immigrants, U.S. Citizens, and Convicted Criminals in Arizona,” says:
Using newly released detailed data on all prisoners who entered the Arizona state prison from January 1985 through June 2017, we are able to separate non-U.S. citizens by whether they are illegal or legal residents. These data do not rely on self-reporting by criminals. Undocumented immigrants are at least 142% more likely to be convicted of a crime than other Arizonans. They also tend to commit more serious crimes and serve 10.5% longer sentences, more likely to be classified as dangerous, and 45% more likely to be gang members than U.S. citizens …
If undocumented immigrants committed crime nationally as they do in Arizona, in 2016 they would have been responsible for over 1,000 more murders, 5,200 rapes, 8,900 robberies, 25,300 aggravated assaults, and 26,900 burglaries.
The report was prepared by John R. Lott Jr. at the Crime Prevention Research Center, in Alexandria, Va. He told Breitbart News:
The data there shows the convictions for everybody who entered the prisons system from...
Pew: US media bias ranks worst in the world
The Pew Research Center’s study found moreover that supporters of President Trump believe the media is doing a worse job than the supporters of any of the other international political figures in countries surveyed.
It may not come as a surprise since US politics are divisive as ever.
“Large gaps in ratings of the media emerge between governing party supporters and non-supporters. On the question of whether their news media cover political issues fairly, for example, partisan differences appear in 20 of the 38 countries surveyed. In five countries, the gap is at least 20 percentage points, with the largest by far in the US at 34 percentage points,” Pew noted.
Most in the US would agree that the top five media organisastions based in the US are CNN, Fox, MSNBC, ABC News, and CBS. According to Media Bias/Fact Check, 2 of these websites, CNN and MSNBC, have a left-wing bias, ABC and CBS have a center-left bias, and Fox has a right-wing bias. Thus, the five major US sources are showing a definite right or left bias.
The survey found that only 21 percent of Americans supportive of Trump and Republicans believe the media is reporting fairly. But it also found that only 55 percent of those who that voted against Trump also believe the media is biased in their reporting on US politics.
In every other case, those numbers are reversed, Pew said.
“The US is also one of only a few countries where governing party supporters are less satisfied with their news media than are non-supporters. In most countries, people who support the political party currently in power are more satisfied with the performance of their news media than those who do not support the governing party,” the study revealed.
Some 2 in 3 American adults say fabricated news stories cause a great deal of confusion about the basic facts of current affairs, according to Pew. The survey found that Republicans and Democrats are about equally likely to say that “fake news” leaves Americans deeply confused about...
OBAMA UNDONE: Trump DESTROYS Barack’s Legacy
As promised, President Trump is unraveling the unilateral – and largely unconstitutional – orders that were set in place by the previous eight years, to the delight of his supporters.
Anyone surprised at this should take a second look. During the campaign, Trump labeled Obama a “disaster,” a “catastrophe,” and “the most ignorant president in our history.”
Obamacare
President Trump promised to “repeal and replace” Obamacare as soon as “day one.” With a recalcitrant Congress, that proved impossible, but President Trump managed to knock out one of the three legs of the Affordable Care Act.
Within the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, Trump and Congress managed to do away with the so-called “individual mandate,” which required Americans to get health insurance or pay a penalty.
The president also used his executive power to end cost sharing-reduction payments, government payments under Obamacare that helped insurers offset the cost of providing healthcare to some of the poorest Americans.
