Sill”"},"content":{"rendered":"

For those of you not familiar with Bridenstine, he’s a staunch TEA Party conservative — and one wonders why it is that he was essentially barred from a federal facility in the state he represents at the federal level. Including Rep Bridenstine:<\/a><\/p>\n

Congressman Jim Bridenstine (OK) was denied access yesterday to the HHS facility at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma currently housing up to 1,200 unaccompanied alien children (UAC) who illegally crossed the southern border into the United States.<\/p>\n

Congressman Bridenstine said, \u201cThere is no excuse for denying a Federal Representative from Oklahoma access to a federal facility in Oklahoma where unaccompanied children are being held. \u00a0Any Member of Congress should have the legal authority to visit a federal youth detention facility without waiting three weeks.”<\/b><\/p>\n

The Health and Human Services (HHS) official who appears to be in charge of the facility told Congressman Bridenstine he could schedule an appointment for July 21. \u00a0HHS Deputy Director of the Office of Public Affairs, Ken Wolfe, would not take the Congressman’s phone call. \u00a0The Congressman was told to send Mr. Wolfe an email as that was the preferred method of communication. \u00a0Congressman Bridenstine’s email to Mr. Wolfe included this press release.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter my visit today with the base commander, I approached the barracks where the children are housed.\u00a0 A new fence has been erected by HHS, completely surrounding the barracks and covered with material to totally obscure the view. \u00a0Every gate is chained closed. \u00a0<\/b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cI approached a security guard and asked to speak with the manager of the facility.\u00a0 The guard called his supervisor who said no visitors were allowed.\u00a0 I asked if they were aware that I am a Member of Congress.\u00a0 Eventually the manager came out and said that I would have to go through HHS legislative affairs and that the first chance to visit would be July 21st.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat are they trying to hide? \u00a0Do they not want the children to speak with Members of Congress? \u00a0As a Navy pilot, I have been involved in operations countering illicit human trafficking. \u00a0I would like to know to whom these children are being released.”<\/b><\/p>\n

Ft. Sill is one of three facilities in the U.S. currently housing the unaccompanied alien children.\u00a0 The Administration policy is that after they are apprehended on the border by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the children are transferred to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for transport, and then placed in the custody of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) until released to a so-called \u201csponsor\u201d in the U.S.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The next step, I suppose, would be for Bridenstine to confer with the Governor and use local law enforcement to counter federal HHS law enforcement (and tell me again why we have HHS enforcement officers who are not answerable to members of Congress — particularly the peoples’ representatives?) attempting to keep the Congressman out.<\/p>\n

We no longer live under any consistent rule of law.\u00a0 We are in full societal breakdown mode as the progressive Marxist coup continues apace, this latest stage masquerading as a populist “year of action.”\u00a0 Obama essentially said so during a rare cabinet meeting yesterday, pretending that a frustrated America wanted him to, grudgingly of course, step up and appoint himself King.\u00a0 For the Greater Good.<\/p>\n

Because stuff must be done.\u00a0 And people who block stuff being done are anti-stuff, and we can’t have that here in the land of stuff doing — no matter what a bunch of old white slaveowners who’d seen aristocracy and tyranny and set about placing checks on such governing paradigms have to say about it.<\/p>\n

They<\/em> hadn’t met Obama.\u00a0 Who is the Won and Only.<\/p>\n

Caaaannnn youuuuu diggggg ittttttt….?<\/em><\/p>\n
