Ann Coulter<\/a>: "Third-worlders killed three Americans in Jordan over the weekend, and our political establishment is ready to start World War III. Which is more of a national security threat: terrorists 6,000 miles away, or our wide-open border?"<\/span><\/p>\n

Kurt Schlichter<\/a>: <\/span><\/p>\n

We don\u2019t know what the future will bring. We don\u2019t know what shocking events will take place between now and November, but there is one thing we can absolutely predict. Something is going to happen. Something big is going to occur that will change everything. Let\u2019s just hope our country can survive it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Civil War:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I called this, too, in my People\u2019s Republic<\/a> novels. The border situation is coming to a head with a potential confrontation between Governor Abbott of Texas (and 24 other governors) and our alleged President. The fact is that the Constitution requires Joe Biden to both enforce the laws and protect the states from invasion, but he is willfully doing neither. That makes for a constitutional crisis, one completely of Joe Biden\u2019s doing, although the regime media is screaming that it\u2019s all Texas\u2019s fault for not meekly submitting to federal abuse and neglect. I don\u2019t think we\u2019re going to have another Gettysburg, but Joe Biden is a stupid, malignant man, and his administration is full of stupid, malignant people. It is entirely possible that they push this and provoke some sort of conflict. Then it gets scary. I think the great Fred Thompson said it best in \u201cThe Hunt For Red October\u201d: \u201cThis business will get out of control. It will get out of control, and we\u2019ll be lucky to live through it.<\/a>\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
