British jour anti-sharia a Katie Hopk Kingdom an Sabaditschtouring Am evil of mass immigration Their first-hand accounts of what has happened in their home countries Elisabeth; she is appealing the verdict.

They have been warning us for decades They have been traveling to America to alert us at their own expense They have spoken into countless deaf ears, hearing back from them, “No, this won’t happen here!”

“You can probably tell that I want to run,” Beto O’Rourke is quoted as saying in a recent piece featured in Vanity Fair“I do I think I’d be good at it ”

The former Texas Congressman enjoyed his fair share of free press when his official announcement came Footage of him stumping in Iowa, standing on a table as he addressed his audience His face splashed on screens across the nation, as he grabbed the mantle he believes is rightly his “ I’m just born to be in it, and want to do everything I humanly can for this country at this moment,” O’Rourke told Joe Hagan of Vanity Fair beauty of elections: You can’t hide from who you are,” he told Hagan This coming from the man who live-streamed a visit to the dentist

Undoubtedly, O’Rourke possesses an exciting appeal for a certain subset of voters Even his critics can admit, his charisma emanates from both the page and the stage; and yet, over the life of O’Rourke’s campaign, Americans will be forced to grapple with whether or not this is really what the country needs Offering inspiring speeches is one thing Effective governance is quite another should wake us up to the need to stand up and SAVE AMERICA

Katie, a British journalist, is best known for her fiercely opinionated, unapologetic style Katie’s speeches, backed by journalistic integrity, are delivered with humour Her key message to America is “Do not let yourselves fall as we have fallen in Britain ”

Fiercely patriotic, Katie fights hard for her country Katie describes herself as a Christian Conservative with one husband and three children, something she says puts her on the endangered species list President Trump described her as a respected columnist, and thanked her for her work exposing the madness of unchecked migration

One wonders if O’Rourke has any regrets when it comes to launching a campaign Just two days into his nascent quest for the White House, Reuters stumbled upon a fiction piece O’Rourke apparently wrote as a teenager in which he graphically depicted running over children A New York Timespiece aired criticism regarding his wife’s behavior during his campaign launch video, accusing them of playing into a long-established stereotype of the silent supportive political wife “She occasionally smiled. And gazed,” wrote Astead Herndon, as if to highlight her apparent minimization (at least in the minds of critics) His road trip, taken after his defeat in his race to unseat Texas Senator Ted Cruz, also drew mockery from the internet Not entirely a hero’s welcome

Regardless, Beto keeps on, seemingly unfazed by the inevitable media barrage that greets a newcomer to the race for the Presidency What is it that possesses a person to jump into the presidential fray, even if it means their lives will be scrutinized in such a public, even at times humiliating, way? There must be something about the American Presidency that beckons, compelling potential candidates to upend their lives just to have a shot at one day occupying the Oval Office

O’Rourke achieved national attention when he raised more than $80 million in his race to become the junior Senator from Texas He surprisingly lodged only a narrow loss, which paradoxically catapulted him into the chatter surrounding the presidential sweepstakes Known for his apparent authenticity, O’Rourke seems to believe his personality can win the day “I think that’s the

O’Rourke is also notable for his openness regarding his personal life He makes himself quite available to the American public – whether through his regularly posts during his trip after losing to Cruz, or his live-streamed road-trip with Republican Congressman Will Hurd a few years back It’s astonishing to think that after all his sharing, we still somehow want more “That’s kind of the mystique of Beto, is that he seems to be accessible,” a former girlfriend told Hagan “But there’s just this layer of protection I think it’s because he’s keeping a part of it to himself ” It’s hard to imagine anything about O’Rourke remaining a secret for much longer

Absent in much of the coverage are any explanations of his actual policies. A pattern of presidential politics – we as a country focus far more on personality than substance Voters oftentimes connect far better through the personal, rather than the intellectual As the circus rages on, the question will inevitably rise Is Beto O’Rourke fit to be President of the United States?

A question only voters can answer Until then, O’Rourke will likely keep talking, sharing bits and pieces of himself with an electorate that seemingly can never get enough of the candidates seeking the highest office in the land For a man who believes he is ripe for the occasion, he paints our shared collective moment as one of great importance “ In other words, this moment of peril produces perhaps the greatest moment of promise for this country and for everyone inside of it,” O’Rourke shared in his announcement video

Ah That explains why he was willing to bare his teeth to the world
