For a child is born to us, a son is given to us; upon his shoulder dominion rests. They name him Wonder-Counselor, God-Hero, Father-Forever, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:5

“Do not be afraid;for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For today in the city of David a savior has been born for you who is Messiah and Lord.” Luke 2: 10-111

“Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home. For it is through the Holy Spirit that this child has been conceived in her. She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” Matthew 1: 20-21

Mary said “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word.” Then the angel departed from her. Luke 1:38

“He has shown might with his arm,dispersed the arrogant of mind & heart. He has thrown down the rulers from their thrones but lifted up the lowly. The hungry he has filled with good things;the rich he has sent away empty.” Luke 1: 51-53

Good news. The House just agreed to pass the 6 month extension of Flood Insurance which expires tonight.

Very fair question. In Syria victory is when ISIS no longer capable of organizing or inspiring attacks against America from inside Syrian territory. The Kurds are conducting the ground combat. The US role is limited to airstrikes & support from 2000 US special operatorshttps://twitter.com/seanmdav/status/1075951998250483713 …

If gov shuts down tonight it will be because Senate Dems are refusing to fund even a small portion of the long-term border security improvement plan POTUS will have to negotiate with Sen.Schumer. But protecting America shouldn’t be something you have to negotiate about 3/3

This is what Democrats want to shut down the govt over. Not just a wall,but top 10 priorities of Comprehensive Border Security Improvement Plan. The costs of dealing with the drugs (heroin & fentanyl) crossing the border is alone enough to justify far more than $5 billion. 2/3

Some facts about House bill before Senate $5 billion would fund completion of top 10 border security priorities including (but not only) up to 215 miles of new & improved wall. The $1.3 billion Democrats say they will support would be as little as only 19 miles of wall 1/3

Securing the southern border is good for both the U.S. & Mexico An insecure border is a magnet for 3rd country migrants to transit through Mexico. It’s costing them money to deal with that And it allows cartels to ship drugs into US, allowing them to thrive inside Mexico

I am advocating for putting a wall on the border where most of the unlawful immigration is occurring & where most of the drugs which are killing Americans of every race & ethnicity is entering our country. If such an area exists on northern border we should secure it as well.https://twitter.com/ChrisMurphyCT/status/1076132760484569088 …

Border wall ALONE wouldn’t stop illegal migration or drugs. But walls funnel traffic to monitored entry points Airports have barriers to keep people from getting around TSA checkpoints. If we use barriers to keep air travel safe, why wouldn’t we use them to keep country safe?

1. This isn’t about wall,its about Dems denying POTUS a win 2. If border wall is immoral do they suggest we tear down the ones we already have? 3. On Wed the WH said they “open” to Senate bill. They should have just told us they opposed it BEFORE we wasted time voting on it

“Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb...Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled.” Luke 1: 42 & 45

Bill passed in House tonight reasonable. It has $ for 2 important priorities: border security & disaster relief. No legitimate reason for Dems to shut down government over this. They voted for $800 billion for Obama stimulus but won’t vote for $5 billion to secure our border?
