Landslide, in case your friend missed events from a year ago, the Shapiro – Fields incident is in Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Shapiro#Breitbart.com
‘In 2012, Shapiro became editor-at-large of Breitbart.com, a news and opinion website founded by Andrew Breitbart.[15] In March 2016, Shapiro resigned from his position as editor-at-large of Breitbart.com following what he characterized as the website’s lack of support for reporter Michelle Fields in response to her alleged assault by Corey Lewandowski, Donald Trump’s former campaign manager.[16][17]’

Billionaire and Pastor… Pastor Farris Wilks and his Billionaire brother Dan Wilks
worth an estimated $1.4 billion – each
For most part, the brothers sold their interest in Frac Tech in May 2011 to investors led by Temasek Holdings (of Singapore). The brothers had owned 68% of Frac Tech, and made about $3.2 billion of the total $3.5 sale.
Google and you will most likely find:
Wilks Masonry, a family-run masonry operating in Texas and Oklahoma. And, you will see google mention the Assembly of Yahweh 7th Day, a Christian church in Rising Star, TX where Farris served as pastor.

Busy day. Fox & Friends interview in the Oval Office, lunch with the enemy Press, revoked the Clean Water Rule, signed H.R. 321 & H.R. 255 Bills into law (Women for STEM), and he’s still got to give a prime time speech to Congress covering his budget and possibly huge cuts to various government agencies.
The winning never stops, the work accelerates daily, the Congress better get their butts in gear and start passing some legislation or Trump will address the public to contact their representatives. Forget email, pick up the phone people it’s more effective.

Trump had Trapper over for dinner yesterday and trapper quoted him. But NYT went on to make inferences about what reform has meant historically. Tonight, I heard Trump refer to an overhaul of the system from the ground up, meaning that we first take into consideration the potential immigrant’s ability to support himself or herself and family. An entirely different type of immigrant than we have known in decades. Those who contribute to our country instead of exploiting Americans. It’s all in the interpretation and NYT is, once again, spinning. Because that is what they do.

What I heard was that the President is going to say we need to fix the immigration system and that will require compromise from both side. I’d be all for kicking every illegal out on their ear but we have to face facts, and one of those facts is that past politicians have allowed our economy to be reliant on their labor, so the President is in a precarious situation. He runs the risk of the economy tanking by throwing everyone out. But on the other hand we don’t want people here illegally either.
So it’s not as simple as rounding all the illegals up and sending them back to where they came from. I’m ok with a certain type of “amnesty” for people who have been here a certain amount of time and haven’t committed crimes. This will have to include removing them from and not allowing them any public assistance until they become citizens. They would have to pay to go through the process of becoming legal with the requirement they become naturalized citizens within a certain time period. If they cannot provide documentation from their nation of origin of exactly who they are they will be deported and not allowed to participate. Anyone who doesn’t complete the process by a certain amount of time will automatically be deported.
Once completing the process of becoming a legal resident they would be issued a card that would allow them to obtain a specific drivers license and insurance. Both will have an expiration date that coincides with the date they must become a citizen.
I would be ok with something like this as long as it goes along with strict rules about completing the process or being deported, along with limiting future immigration and closing our borders, both our Southern one and the one at airports and tough voter id laws.

I would also like to see the President tell Congress to pick up the pace. I am already tired of the excuses coming from Congress. We control everything. Enough is enough. We should be able to get tax reform, an Obamacare replacement, and one other big ticket piece of legislation done prior to the mid-terms. The president continues to work at the speed of the private sector while Congress continues at the speed of government. Do Republicans not understand that if they don’t deliver on their commitments that they will be swept from office – by fellow republicans!
