America will never resist abortion until America sees abortion. . . . The pro-life movement is not primarily a response to Roe v. Wade. It is a response to Jesus Christ. — Father Frank Pavone, national director, Priests for Life

Will Mexico Pay for The Wall?

Washington, D.C. - May 30, 2019 - (The Ponder News) -- President Trump tweeted,

"On June 10th, the United States will impose a 5% Tariff on all goods coming into our Country from Mexico, until such time as illegal migrants coming through Mexico, and into our Country, STOP. The Tariff will gradually increase until the Illegal Immigration problem is remedied,.."

This will undoubtedly cause a financial hardship on Mexico, in which paying to build the wall would seem like a less costly solution.

The Ponder holds that stopping illegals from crossing the border is just as much the responsibility of Mexico as it is ours. Mexico has not been doing their part.

Too Much Paper Work for Border Patrol Agents

Washington, D.C. - May 30, 2019 - (The Ponder News) -- U.S. Congressman Glenn Grothman (R-WI, 6th) commented on Twitter, "I just met with border patrol agents at the Falfurrias checkpoint in Texas. 50% of their agents are tied up doing paperwork instead of protecting our border. This needs to change."

The Ponder agrees.

Shonda Ponder responded with, "Well, when you got that many people coming across, you got paperwork. Secure our border so they can't come across with a wall, and the paperwork will lessen."

Earlier today, President Trump commented on USA.Life, "Yesterday, Border Patrol agents apprehended the largest group of illegal aliens ever: 1,036 people who illegally crossed the border in El Paso around 4am. Democrats need to stand by our incredible Border Patrol and finally fix the loopholes at our Border!"

Surely someone can put two and two together.

Amid censorship fears, Trump campaign 'checking out' alternative social network

May 28, 2019
They've been banned from Facebook, purged from Twitter and blocked from Instagram. Some of them have been barred from setting foot on the continent of Australia. But you can still find them all on the fledgling social media network Parler.

The Twitter-like platform was initially hatched last year as a tool for digital news outlets to claw revenue back from big social networks like Facebook. But as those platforms purge some of the internet’s most inflammatory supporters of President Donald Trump over posts deemed dangerous or offensive, Parler has carved out a niche among these banned right-wing influencers — like Gavin McInnes, Laura Loomer and Milo Yiannopoulos.

Introducing The American Conservative Union

ACU says, "We believe that the Constitution of the United States is the best political charter yet created by men for governing themselves. It is our belief that the Constitution is designed to guarantee the free exercise of the inherent rights of the individual through strictly limiting the power of government."

They believe also that Conservative is the belief of the sovereignty of the individual.

AT The Ponder, we believe, also, in the sovereignty of the individual. God made us all Priests and Kings over our own lives. The Constitution as much as reaffirms that by saying that all men are created equal with certain inalienable rights -- that is, rights that are given us by God through birth.

Censorship is the Issue

by: Shonda Ponder
CNN has recently held an interview with Jane Coaston, and Irin Carmon about Censorship. They hold that there is no proof of Censorship and that Facebook and Twitter have the right to do with their platform what they like because it is about THEIR freedom and not the user's freedom, and if we don't like Facebook and Twitter, we should move elsewhere.

While they have a point about choosing another platform, it looks as if CNN, a leftist news outlet, is downplaying the importance of allowing free speech and room for debate on sensitive topics.

The Ponder is about proving that Censorship exists and with who and how, and we are posting the reasons cited for the censorship.

Google said on Monday that it would limit the software services it provides to Huawei, the telecommunications giant, after a White House order last week restricted the Chinese company’s access to American technology.

Social media titans such as Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg have more influence over our freedom than Supreme Court justices or U.S. presidents. But these internet executives are selling out core American principles for the almighty dollar. They’ll do whatever a host country demands. In China, Russia and even capitalist Singapore, internet freedom is already dead, without a murmur of protest by Zuckerberg and others.
