The Freedom Caucus took the House floor Wednesday night to demand $5 billion in congressional funding for President Donald Trump's border wall.

"The time to fight is now" declared Jim Jordan of Ohio, who joined with North Carolina's Mark Meadows in the late-night effort.

The Freedom Caucus sent a clear signal to the commander in chief President Donald Trump: if you veto the "stopgap" bill that kicks the can down the road a few pointless months, then we will have a Christmas season government shutdown. And isn't time we start saying Merry Christmas again in this Country?

"Mr. President, we're going to back you up if you veto this — back you up. If you veto this bill, we'll be there, more importantly, the American people will be there. They'll be there to support you. Let's build the wall and make sure we do our job in Congress," said Freedom Caucus heavyweight Meadows.

"The president, many, many months ago said he would not sign another funding bill unless we gave him wall funding. What did this House do? It passed the bill to fund the Department of Defense and passed a short-term C.R. And said we are going to have that fight after the mid-terms," said Meadows, who called out loser outgoing speaker Paul Ryan directly.

Here's what Jim Jordan had to say:  "Everyone knows the old line. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. But we're going to have to change that line — we're to need a new one. The new line should be Fool the American people four times, shame on Congress."

The left is losing the Wall argument, the people know what they want and the left is fighting them on it.

Quinnipiac Poll: Voter Support for Border Wall Hits Record High

Support for building a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border jumped to its highest level on record, Quinnipiac University announced Tuesday, reporting results of its latest poll:

The record 43% support represents a five-point jump from its August 15, 2018 level of 38% and is up seven points from its year-ago level of 36% (Dec. 13, 2017). Back on April 20, 2017, only 33% of voters nationwide supported building a border wall.

By party affiliation, Republicans overwhelmingly support building the wall, Democrats overwhelmingly oppose it, and Independents are divided:

It is quite gratifying to see the conservatives in the house stand up. Trump needs their support to allow him to stand by his pledge not to "kick the can down the road" on another CR. Mr. Ryan, this is your going away present. Having your final BS move shoved up your ass.

This really has to piss off the RINO now that Conservatives will soon have a voice and there is nothing the Establishment can do to stop us.

Think about where the RINO establishment will be in the house for the next two. They will have Pelosi and the democrats on one side and the conservatives on the other squeezing them. Hopefully they will understand what is going on and they are losing.
