  "It means understanding your own fast pace, to be sure, but it is more than that. The special rhythm of a gifted adult's life is the constant need to learn something new. When goals are achieved, new goals appear. A field of learning explored through long and arduous study will simply yield new questions, new fields to answer. This seems to be true regardless of age or what has already been achieved." --- Marylou Kelly Streznewski 1999 _Gifted GrownUps: The Mixed Blessings of ExtraOrdinary Potential_ pg107

USA's birth-day: preserving what makes the USA great
"All is not lost.   But all could be lost -- especially if too many of us take freedom for granted and focus our attention on other things, like electronic gadgets and the antics of celebrities, while ignoring such dangers as nuclear weapons in the hands of suicidal fanatics, with a track record of savagery, whom we are too squeamish to call anything stronger than 'militants'.   Nor are all the dangers abroad.   Within our own country there are all too many signs of people blithely ready to sacrifice the interests or freedom of Americans for the sake of symbolism or passing fashions.   When a former Speaker of the House of Representatives [Nasty Pelosi] announces that she is going down to our border to greet and welcome masses of people crossing that border illegally, you know that something is fundamentally wrong..."

"The litigants -- the Green and Hahn families, owners of Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood Specialties respectively -- did not have religious objections to contraception.   They might have if they were Catholic, but they weren't, and they didn't.   The Hahns are Mennonites and the Greens Christians of no particular denomination.   Both families provided coverage for contraceptives in their health plans.   Hobby Lobby provided coverage for 18 different methods of birth control.   What both the Greens and the Hahns objected to were the regulations promulgated by the Department of Health and Human Services that would have required them, on pain of severe fines, to cover four more methods, including the morning after pill, that the litigants (and not just they) consider abortifacients..."

"The sources said workers were guarded by a security force from the Baptist Family & Children's Services, which the Department of Health and Human Services hired to run the Lackland Camp.   The sources say security forces called themselves the 'Brown Shirts'...   As for those brown shirts, the BFCS said they are 'incident management team personnel' -- who happen to wear tan shirts.   They are acting under the orders specified in their government contract with the Department of [H377 & Human Suffering -- the ObummerDoesn'tCare] bunch...   She said the workers were stripped of their cell-phones and other communication devices.   Anyone caught with a phone was immediately fired...   She said children in the camp had measles, scabies, chicken pox and strep throat as well as mental and emotional issues...   'I would be talking to children and lice would just be climbing down their hair.'...   These kids are being shipped around all over the country, in buses and aircraft, potentially spreading their ailments around as they go.   With 3 documented cases of swine flu in the alien population in Texas already, this is a rising public health threat."

Goldman Sachs gold mine
"The never-ending Clinton money grab is more than $150M deep.   One of their most lucrative benefactors is Wall Street powerhouse Goldman Sachs.   Since leaving the White House, Bill and Hillary have collected more than $3M from the banking goliath in campaign contributions, speaking fees and donations to their private foundation.   In addition, Goldman has underwritten some of Hillary's pet projects, including a partnership with the State Department on a women's project conceived by the former first lady.   There's more -- Goldman also made commitments in the millions to the Clintons' favorite programs at the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI).   Of course, that money was peanuts for Goldman, whose profit for the first quarter of 2014 was $2G!...   Last year, Hillary gave two speeches to Goldman clients for $200K each...   Bill's piled up even more money, collecting more than $1.3M for 8 speeches to Goldman...   In addition, Goldman sponsored a panel chaired by Chelsea Clinton at the CGI last September.   For a mere $375K, Goldman's logo was prominently displayed and the company was listed as a host.   In remarks at the session, Goldman CEO Lloyd Blankfein praised the U.S. [government] for 'accepting a higher unemployment rate', even as it bailed out the banks..."

economic freedom
"To believe what the president and many others say about the market's not working requires that one be grossly uninformed or dishonest.   The key features of a free market system are private property rights and private ownership of the means of production.   In addition, there's a large measure of peaceable voluntary exchange.   By contrast, communist systems feature severely limited private property rights and government ownership or control of the means of production.   There has never been a purely free market economic system, just as there has never been a purely communist system.   However, we can rank economies and see whether ones that are closer to the free market end of the economic spectrum are better or worse than ones that are closer to the communist end...   People who live in countries closer to the free market end of the economic spectrum not only have far greater income than people who live in countries toward the communist end but also enjoy far greater [individual] human rights protections [as opposed to collectivist group 'rights'].   According to the 2012 'Economic Freedom of the World' report -- by James Gwartney, Robert Lawson and Joshua Hall -- nations ranking in the top quartile with regard to economic freedom had an average per capita GDP of $37,691 in 2010, compared with $5,188 for those in the bottom quartile.   In the freest nations, the average income of the poorest 10 percent of their populations was $11,382.   In the least free nations, it was $1,209.   Remarkably, the average income of the poorest 10 percent in the economically freer nations is more than twice the average income of those in the least free nations.   Free market benefits aren't only measured in dollars and cents.   Life expectancy is 79.5 years in the freest nations and 61.6 years in the least free..."

US citizens lose while illegal aliens, exchange visitors, guest-workers and immigrants gain
"American-born workers have had a net loss in jobs since 2000, while all of the job growth since then has gone to immigrants, according to a remarkable new study by the Center for Immigration Studies.   This revelation comes as some Republican politicians continue to flirt with amnesty and the disastrous proposal of [reprehensible immigration law perversion].   Meanwhile, a new Gallup poll proves that the American public is increasingly fed up with the high levels of immigration flooding our job market and our nation.   By nearly a 2-to-1 margin, Americans want less immigration now, rather than more: 41% would like to see a decrease in immigration, while only 22% want to see immigration increase...   In 2000, 114.8M Americans who were born in the United States had jobs here.   Nearly a decade and a half later, in 2014, that total had decreased to 114.7M, and millions of Americans have been unemployed for many years..."

resentment is behind the lack of patriotism of leftist Americans
"Contrary to what you hear daily on MSNBC, Republicans don't want to force Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas, doctor Ben Carson, senator Tim Scott, [Thomas Sowell, Walter E. Williams, Allen West, Herman Cain, Larry Elder] or any other African-American to the back of the bus...   Why [leftists] have become so comfortable running down [the USA] is no doubt complicated, but I think one part of the answer is obvious.   [Leftists] tend to equate patriotism with the government.   [the hate-filled race-obsessed anti-Semitic anti-Christian crony-socialist oath-breaker Barack Hussein Obummer] was supposed to usher in a glorious new era of European-style big government.   He's failed, though alas not entirely.   But in the attempt he aroused a populist movement -- the tea parties -- full of people who wore their traditional patriotism on their sleeves and tricorn hats.   The forces of American exceptionalism proved formidable, taking advantage of our exceptional constitutional structure to thwart European 'social' democracy.   And [leftist] resentment over that fact is palpable."

"A leaked memo from a high-ranking Border Patrol official said that only 3% of non-Mexicans apprehended at the border are being returned to their native countries... The only part he had right is that we will hold hearings. The immigrants themselves may or may not be part of them. The administration is waving the families and children into the United States, [actively, energetically] dispersing them around the country, and giving them a date -- often quite distant because of a huge back-log -- to appear in immigration court. Experience says only about a quarter of illegal immigrants released pending a court date will actually show up for the proceedings... there are roughly 800K aliens who [had their hearings and] have been ordered removed but are still here..."

when "unaccompanied illegal alien minors" are actually baby leftists
"We've wandered into this deeply corrupt territory before.   Back in the late 1990s, representative Henry Hyde, R-IL, tapped David P. Schippers to begin the oversight investigations that ultimately led to the impeachment of president Bill Clinton.   What many Americans forget is that Schippers and his staff were investigating a long list of...impeachable offenses, including 'Chinagate' (Red China's illegal contributions to the 1996 Clinton-Gore campaign), 'Filegate' (Clinton White House exploitation of hundreds of raw FBI files), 'Travelgate' (firing of long-time White House staffers to make way for a Clinton crony), [the Waco/Mt. Carmel massacre] and others.   One of the most serious abuses of power the Schippers staff looked into focused on the Clinton administration's politicization of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) to process a whopping 1M new, likely [leftist], voters by the 1996 presidential election.   As usual, craven Republican leadership was the reason the broader impeachment inquiry was stopped before completing these urgent investigations..."

"Our 1776 struggle with Great Britain should be called the War of Independence, not the Revolutionary War.   [Leftist indoctrinators] want you to believe that we Americans share a common heritage with the savageries of the French and Russian socialist revolutionaries.   Nothing could be further from the truth.   Ours was not at all a revolution in the sense of the 1789 French Revolution or the 1917 Russian Revolution.   Those were mob uprisings that wiped out the existing systems of government, society, spiritual religion, and private property rights, ending with the subordination of individual rights to the rule of an intellectual elite.   The Americans' purpose was the exact opposite: to preserve the already well-established colonial systems of self-government without in any way affecting the institutions of religion or the rights of property.   Our War of Independence was, in short, a conservative defense of well-established tradition, not a 'radical' upheaval..."

"What is the difference between Hamas terrorists kidnapping and murdering 3 Jewish teenagers and someone kidnapping and murdering one Palestinian teenager?   Quite a bit, it seems.   For one thing, the horrible murder of the Palestinian teen, thought to possibly have been done in retribution for the murders of the 3 Jewish teens, prompted an immediate condemnation from the White House -- something it took nearly three weeks to get in the first case.   It also prompted serious condemnation from the Israeli government -- something that was entirely missing from the Palestinian 'government' in the first instance.   No one in Israel is dancing in the streets, handing out candy or holding up one finger to signify their glee over anyone's kidnapping and murder.   This is a far cry from the reaction of the Palestinians to the kidnapping and murder of 3 innocent Jewish students..."

American innovation -- for export only
"A 33-year-old Oklahoma man called Jon David Sacker (right) urgently needed a double-lung transplant after his body rejected the ones he'd received two years ago.   So he went to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, but was too weak to undergo the operation.   The only possibility of saving him was something called the Hemolung Respiratory Assist System...   There was no Hemolung RAS at UPMC...   Now, if you're a patriotic American on the eve of Independence Day you're surely wondering: why the hell do we need to borrow state-of-the-art medical equipment from some cockamamie town in Canada no one's ever heard of?   But wait, it gets better: The Hemolung RAS was actually invented in Pittsburgh by a UPMC doctor and developed and sold by a Pittsburgh company founded by UPMC doctors...   The Toronto Star explains: 'Hemolungs should have been an easy option.   They are made in Pittsburgh by ALung Technologies...   So an American invention is already being used to save lives in Canada and Switzerland and Belgium and Denmark and Germany ...but has not been approved for use in America...   'At the border on the way back, the guard told them they couldn't cross into the U.S. with the Hemolung, since it wasn't FDA approved...   Then he changed tactics.   He said that he wasn't really importing the device.   Since it was an ALung product and he was ALung CEO, the Hemolung was his property and he was simply retrieving it.'...   American innovation is just fine, but the American regulatory regime is killing it..."

regulations which favor the wealthy: crony socialism is endemic in DC... especially Dems
"...At the start of his political career, senate majority-leader Harry Reid, D-NV, was a man of modest means.   After a life-time in 'public service', he has a net worth of up to $12M.   Senator Reid often sponsors legislation that benefits firms represented by lobbyist sons Rory and Key, according to Peter Schweizer, president of the Government Accountability Institute.   Between 1998 and 2002, firms connected to the Reid family earned more than $2M 'from special interests that were represented by the kids and helped by the senator in Washington [DC]', the Los Angeles Times reported.   Corruption in Washington is driven more by extortion than bribery, Mr. Schweizer says.   Bills have been introduced, 'crises' manufactured primarily to extort contributions.   They should spend at least 4 hours a day dialing for dollars, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee advised new members last year...   'The stimulus, with its emphasis on public sector jobs, did little for Main Street.   And under the banner of environmentalism, green cronyism has helped fatten the bank accounts of investment bankers and tech moguls at great public expense.'..."

our family court fiasco
"what happens between consenting adults results in the rest of us having to pay out billions of dollars when things go wrong.   It is happening year after year.   [Tax-victims] are footing the bill for countless ugly divorces, separations and couples who have babies out of wedlock.   Experts who keep track of this call it 'family fragmentation' and estimate that we, collectively, pay more than $112G annually in an oftentimes vain effort to fix the problems of troubled couples.   The Institute for American Values, a conservative group with a mission to "study and strengthen civil society," added up the public's cost of supporting divorcing and unmarried households.   Using figures from 2008, they looked at the justice system's cost of dissolving a typical marriage, the average amount of a custodial parent's reliance on government programs like food stamps, Medicaid, Head Start, housing assistance and cash payments.   Over the course of the previous decade, the institute concluded, [tax-victims] shelled out more than $1T.   The institute found the biggest annual bite was the $19.3G that went to operate our justice system...   At any given moment, there are millions of Americans in the court system fighting their partner for divorce, custody or a change in a previous order..."

2 scenes from Univision on the illegal immigrant invasion
"As someone who tries to follow how the story of illegal immigration is presented in Spanish-language media, I found two recent scenes on Univision news programs to be especially interesting.   The first provided a rare and fleeting acknowledgement of the fact that many Latinos, including some illegal immigrants, are astonished at how easy it can be to enter the United States illegally.   The other, far more common on Univision, presented a lengthy diatribe by a popular Mexican-American singer who denounced resistance to illegal immigration as anti-Latino racism...   Having worked many years in the southwestern borderlands, I know that many Latinos feel that illegal immigration has become a destructive force in their lives.   But their anxiety rarely is acknowledged on Univision, which prefers to present a united Latino front..."

Obummer regime intentionally created border "crisis"
Wausau Daily Herald
John Hinderaker: Power-Line Web Log
"The crisis on our border is the direct and predictable result of [hate-filled race-obsessed anti-Semitic anti-Christian crony-socialist oath-breaker president Barack Hussein Obummer's] sustained effort to undermine America's immigration laws.   As the president's previous director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (US ICE), John Sandweg recently acknowledged, 'if you are a run-of-the-mill immigrant here illegally, your odds of getting deported are close to zero'.   Enforcement has collapsed.
 
Today president [Obummer] says he needs $3.7G from congress to handle the crisis his lawless policies are creating.   Amazingly, the funding request further advertises his administration's amnesty efforts and our fraud-riddled asylum programs, while explicitly omitting any request for expedited deportation authority.   The request is also not paid for.   The [Obummer regime] wants to borrow every penny.
 
President [Obummer] has yielded to the demands of open borders groups, to whom he pledged amnesty in 2008.   He has dramatically abandoned his lawful duty to the American people.   Immigration enforcement for the world's most powerful nation is now held hostage by a small band of radical immigration activists.   That is why the administration still refuses to deliver the crucial message necessary to halt this flow: if you attempt to cross our border illegally, you will be apprehended and deported.
 
Most egregiously, the president has announced his intention to yet again bypass congress in order to expand his far-reaching non-enforcement directives.   His unlawful actions guarantee that the $3.7G will be only the beginning, and that the deluge of illegal immigration -- and the huge costs -- will only grow.
 
And growing with it will be the crisis for the American worker.   This flood of illegality adds to an already massive flow of low-wage labor [and the legal flood of below-market labor for young, pliant STEM labor with flexible ethics] into the USA.   Between 2000 and 2013 the federal government issued 26M visas to foreign workers and new permanent immigrants -- corresponding with falling wages, soaring joblessness, and rising poverty in our struggling communities.
 
When did we forget that a nation owes its first allegiance to her own citizens?"

Obummer might try without concurrence by congress for immigration law perversions like changes to green cards and H-1B visas
"The president could also try to make changes to the H-1B visa program, possibly by creating a priority system that favors U.S.-based firms or by setting restrictions that affect the largest users -- off-shore out-sourcing firms -- thus, making it easier for other firms competing for the [154K] H-1B visas...   [The Obummer regime] is now getting comments on a rule change to allow spouses of H-1B visa holders seeking green cards to find work.   They can't hold jobs under present rules.   Some 97K would obtain employment authorization under this regulatory change...   Critics called [Shrub's] OPT extension a defacto H-1B hike.   In the last 6 years, 560K OPT extensions have been approved, including 123K in 2013...   [The Obummer regime] has expanded the OPT extension by broadening the number of eligible degrees...   there are discussions among lawmakers about coming up with ways to make it [even] easier for U.S. firms get H-1B visas...   some law-makers could move toward a system that gives [H-1B visa] priority to USA-based firms, which could disadvantage [off-shoring and cross-border bodyshopping firms based outside the USA... which could be dodged merely by establishing and applying for H-1B visas through USA-based subsidiaries or affiliates]...   Ron Hira...'IOW, if [Obummer] gives the high-tech [executives what they want], then it is less likely that Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates will be fighting for [reprehensible immigration law perversion and against immigration reform].'"

"The president has left no photo-op unturned in his past visits to the sites of various natural disasters: floods, fires, tornadoes, you name it.   It's astounding that the president, who is usually so well-tuned to the nuances of 'optics' and 'atmospherics' (to use the words invented by pundits to refer to political theater played out in a public forum), could be so blind or tone-deaf as to go on a money junket to the same geographical region where the crisis is unfolding -- a crisis that his officials continue to refer to as driven by 'poverty and violence' in the countries of origin even though there is ample evidence to suggest otherwise, including statements contradicting that version of events from consular officials of the source countries...   After all, there is plenty of evidence of causality here: mix contempt for your immigration laws, toss in a little obstruction with their enforcement, add a dollop of unconstitutional executive action, and voila, you've got an immigration crisis on your hands at the southern border -- you know, the one the president's mandarins, past and present, have repeatedly declared more secure than ever."

"Lerner's lawyer Bill Taylor initially claimed that Lerner did not print out and file her emails, as the Federal Records Act required her to do, before they allegedly went missing in a 2011 computer crash and her hard drive was 'recycled' by the IRS.   Taylor also claimed that Lerner 'did not think it was required', despite clear instructions for employees on the IRS website.   But now the story is changing...   'During her tenure as Director of Exempt Organizations, she did print out some [e-mail messages], although not every one of the thousands she sent and received.', Taylor said."

Dave Brat strongly criticized Obummer regime on Israel
"'I am deeply troubled by the remarks from the [Obummer regime], both for the incompetence in Middle East affairs that the remarks demonstrate and for the narcissism inherent in suggesting that the [Obummer regime] knows how to protect Israeli citizens better than Israel does.   The White House just rebuked Israel for supposedly not taking advantage of the opportunity to negotiate with Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas just weeks after Abbas welcomed Hamas -- the terrorist organization now attempting to murder Jewish civilians with missile strikes on their cities -- back into his unity government.   The White House has criticized Israel's government for not offering concessions to the very terrorists who have driven Israeli citizens into bomb shelters and who choose to operate from residential areas, using innocent by-standers as human shields.   Most Americans recognize Israel's right to defend itself from the terrorist regime sworn to its destruction.   Unlike the administration, we reject the idea that terrorist missiles are somehow the fault of Israel's government and that all would be well if only Israel sacrificed even more of its security.'"

how H-1B-fueled discrimination works: 21 of 59 Infosys work-sites in the USA have 100% Asian workers, law-suit alleges
"of the approximately 100 Infosys employees working on the [ObummerDoesn'tCare medical privacy violation] project, only 3 were American, according to a civil law-suit filed in federal court...   Layla Bolten, has a degree in computer science and has been in IT since 1996.   An experienced tester, which is what she was hired for, Bolten often helped less-experienced staff.   But the law-suit contends Bolten was harassed because she was not Indian and excluded from work conversations by supervisors who spoke Hindi.   People with less experience were promoted over her, and she eventually quit.   Bolten is 1 of 4 IT workers from around the country suing Infosys for 'on-going national origin and race discrimination'.   The law-suit claims that 'roughly 90%' of Infosys work-force is South Asian, the result of 'intentional employment discrimination'...   In May, Google released its work-place data, which is otherwise known as the Employer Information Report or EEO-1.   It showed that 30% of its employees are women, 61% are white, 30% are Asian, 4% are of 2 or more races, 3% are Hispanic, and 2% are black...   For 53 of the 59 sites, at least 94.5% of the employees were Asian.   The lowest percentage of Asian employees at any site was 73.8%...   Of all the H-1B petitions approved [by USCIS] in 2012, 72% were for workers between the ages of 25 and 34; in 2011, that figure was even higher, 74%..."

Obummer regime's manufactured "crisis" or not, rolling amnesty for illegal aliens continues: paths to citizenship for illegal aliens
"About half of the new green cards issued each year do not go to new arrivals, they go to aliens already in the county in either nonimmigrant or illegal status; it is a process called 'adjustment of status'.   There are about 500K of these 'adjustments' [each] year...   Some other adjustments, at least in my eyes, are questionable in that they cause an illegal alien to become a legal one, always in spite of violations of the immigration act, and sometimes other crimes as well.   Let's look at just one of these paths to legal status, despite the violations...   Now extreme hardship is supposed to be the exception, not the rule, but you would never know it from looking at the on-going statistics of USCIS; in 5 cases out of 6, when an alien applies for a waiver of various kinds (including the fraudulent entry one) USCIS decides that bouncing that person will, in fact, create an 'extreme hardship' on some legal resident of the United States.   The percentage of approvals in these cases is a remarkable 84%...   What I have just described is an instance of an application for a Waiver on Grounds of Inadmissibility under Section 3132(I) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.   It is one of the more popular of 6 different waivers...   There were 34,925 approvals of waivers of inadmissibility of various kinds in FY2013, most of which presumably led to adjustments of status -- or about 7% of that flow..."

Jerome R. Corsi: Mexicans blame Americans for "death train": World Net Daily
"The Beast is owned and run by a Mexican wholly owned subsidiary of Kansas City Southern, a U.S. train company that acquired the Mexican equipment and routes in 2005 to create a 'NAFTA Railroad' that was intended to fit into a multi-modal transportation technology so Chinese companies could deliver products into the heartland of the United States as an alternative to utilizing the West Coast ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach..."

Hamas wants Israel to kill Palestinians
"In reaction to these indiscriminately fired missiles, Israel has bombarded targets across Gaza, killing roughly 100 people so far.   Compared with violent death rates in other parts of the Middle East, the number is small.   (More than 170K people have been killed in the Syrian civil war to date.)   But it is large enough to suggest an answer to Abbas' question: Hamas is trying to get Israel to kill as many Palestinians as possible.   Dead Palestinians represent a crucial propaganda victory for the nihilists of Hamas..."

Israel repeatedly failed to say "No!" when conscience demanded it
"Ever since its creation, the Palestinian Authority continues [indoctrinating] its population to hate Jews and to want us dead.   They run summer camps for children where, instead of baseball and arts & crafts, they teach children to shoot rifles and to kill Jews.   Their television and radio advocates destroying Israel.   Their newspapers run crossword puzzles that negate Zionism.   Their children's television...characters advocate killing Jews.   They name streets and avenues and town squares for people who kill Jews.   This is who they are, what they are...   Too many times, Israel has acceded to demands, pressed by American presidents and Secretaries of State, to release hundreds upon hundreds of convicted murderers and other convicted violent felons -- in their hundreds -- in exchange for the release of an Israeli hostage or 2 or 3.   No sane country -- least of all, [the USA] -- [should exchange] murderers whom it has arrested for hostages.   The recent uproar over the unprecedented release of five Al Qaeda murderers in exchange for Bergdahl has reflected how foreign such thinking is to Americans or to any normal people.   Only a president like [the hate-filled race-obsessed anti-Semitic anti-Christian crony-socialist oath-breaker Barack Hussein Obummer] could have done such a thing -- and only after failing [to fulfill the legal requirement] to advise congress -- presumably as part of a separate strategy aimed at closing down Gitmo...   1.   It would be [reasonable and satisfactory] if the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) right now -- actually, several days ago -- would be assigned to re-arrest every single living person whom Israel ever has released in any hostage exchange in the past thirty years.   Re-arrest them all (except, of course, for those who are deceased and for those who are outside Israel's reach).   Announce that all past hostage releases were premised on the understanding that there will be no more kidnappings.   The Other has gone back to Square One, and so must Israel.   2.   It would be [reasonable and satisfactory] if the Israeli Government would make clear that, from now on, any time an Israeli is taken hostage, the IDF will grab as many as that number of members of the political leadership of the Palestinian Authority.   If the Other takes 2 Israeli teens, then Israel takes 2 members of the Palestine Authority cabinet.   3.   It would be [reasonable and satisfactory] if the Israeli Government now would form a Prime Ministerial Special Committee to study steps for reunifying the area, Gush Etzion, into Israel (just like East Jerusalem)..."

'They know who they are, where they're sending them and again, they won't tell us whether they're arriving by bus, by plane, by car.   I have no idea and I have no idea what communities they're going to in our state.', he added.   'And then again, who's going to foot the bill?   And in all likelihood, that means legal [tax-victims] are going to pay for services for illegal individuals.'"

e-books hamper reading
"For some years, the amount of reading we assign university students has been shrinking.   A book a week [12-15 books/semester] is now at best 4 or 5 for the semester; volumes give way to chapters or articles.   Our motivation is often a last-ditch attempt to get students to actually read what's on the syllabus.   Other factors include the spiraling cost of text-books...   SparkNotes or even more scholarly versions don't substitute for _Paradise Lost_, _History of the Peloponnesian War_, or _Philosophical Investigations_.   Are students even reading Milton or Thucydides or Wittgenstein these days?...   The 2011 Freshman Survey from UCLA's Higher Education Research Institute found that the top reason for attending college was 'to be able to get a better job' (86% of respondents, up from 70% just five years earlier)...   while digital devices may be fine for reading that we don't intend to muse over or reread, text that requires what's been called 'deep reading' is nearly always better done in print...   if cost were the same, about 90% (at least in my sample) prefer hard copy for schoolwork.   If a text is long, 92% would choose hard copy.   For shorter texts, it's a toss-up...   Among American and Japanese subjects, 92% reported it was easiest to concentrate when reading in hard copy.   (The figure for Germany was 98%.)   In this country, 26% indicated they were likely to multi-task while reading in print, compared with 85% when reading on-screen..."

I don't understand, and part of it is the ambiguity in reporting.   They talk about people who have crossed the border.   But someone repelled at the border is totally different from someone in the interior.   There is no question with the ones repelled at the border; they neither need nor deserve hearings, detention, etc.   There is no doubt of their "status".   They are obviously invaders.   The angsting suggests that few are blocked by the few stretches of fence, and the rare patrols, and thus the vast majority of illegal entrants and visa over-stayers are caught in the interior of the USA...jgo

why we must gently disagree with Rich Lowry and Ramesh Ponnuru at National Review
"tensions have been part of the dynamics of Republican politics for over 100 years.   They began in 1912 when former president Teddy Roosevelt challenged president William Howard Taft for the Republican nomination for president and then bolted the GOP when he lost at the Republican National Convention in Chicago.   Teddy Roosevelt's progressivism became the governing philosophy of the Republican elite, who conveniently forgot to tell the average grassroots Republican voter that they had no intention of actually delivering on, or fighting for the limited government constitutional conservative ideas held by most Republican voters.   The result of this deception was a series of Republican presidential candidates, and presidents, from Alf Landon, who backed Teddy Roosevelt's [Regressive] 'Progressive Party' in 1912, to the GOP candidate in 1940, Wendell L. Wilkie (a former Democrat who had been a pro-Roosevelt delegate to the 1932 Democratic National Convention), to presidents Dwight Eisenhower and Richard Nixon, who all seemed to view Big Government as sometimes wasteful and inefficient, but not wrong.   A few principled conservative leaders at the national level were prepared to oppose the growth of government and the welfare state and oppose it as not just inefficient, but immoral, no matter which Party was behind it.   Senator Robert Taft, senator Barry Goldwater, then-governor Ronald Reagan and other leaders less remembered today, such as representative John Ashbrook, fought for conservative principles and against Eisenhower and Nixon's 'Modern Republicanism', policies that Goldwater derisively referred to as a 'dime store New Deal'.   This battle, which rent the Republican Party from the 1950s through 1980, saw [regressive] Republicans actively work for the defeat of conservative Barry Goldwater in the 1964 general election and defeat conservative Ronald Reagan in the 1968 and 1976 Republican National Conventions.   Big Government Republicans backed presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald R. Ford who imposed wage and price controls, created the EPA and funded the vast expansion of the federal government necessary to implement Lyndon Johnson's 'Great Society' welfare state..."

senate RINO losers paid for attacks against conservative candidates in primaries
"I can confirm that the attack ads in Mississippi run by 'All Citizens for Mississippi' were funded by senate Republicans, including senators Mitch McConnell, John Cornyn, Rob Portman, Bob Corker, and Roy Blunt.   It appears our senate Republican [losers] are willing to risk losing a senate majority so long as they can get their own re-elected...   All Citizens for Mississippi received funding from a Haley Barbour backed group called Mississippi Conservatives.   Mississippi Conservatives, in turn, was funded in part by Sally Bradshaw of the RNC's 'Growth and Opportunity Project', former RNC Chairman and Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour, the United States Chamber of Commerce, and the political action committees created for senators Mitch McConnell ($50K), John Cornyn ($50K), Rob Portman ($25K), Bob Corker ($25K), and Roy Blunt ($5K)..."

Jose Antonio Vargas: the entitled illegal alien

"During the [Shrub] years, the open-borders movement won over bleeding hearts in the White House but alienated the American public with radical displays of La Raza ('The Race') militancy, desecrated American flags and Che Guevara shirt-wearing, fist-thrusting marches across the country.   Left-wing public relations consultants taught the amnesty mob to tone it down, turn the flags right-side up and stop threatening Reconquista...   a foolish stunt... telegraphed the stunt beforehand in a piece for Politico.   He hyped sympathetic coverage from the [leftist] Huffington Post.   He tweeted...   And then Vargas' publicity minions captured and tweeted the exact moment when he was hand-cuffed, looking shocked and aggrieved that federal law enforcement officers would actually -- gasp! -- enforce the law...   Vargas had been riding high after movie theaters and CNN aired his biographical, pro-illegal immigration documentary.   His amnesty activism is backed by the [leftist] Tides Center, a project of George Soros and former ACORN chief organizer Drummond Pike...   '#DontDeportJose', they all cried in an orchestrated Twitter campaign.   Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of law-abiding people from around the world are waiting patiently for their backlogged visa and green card applications to be reviewed..."

too little transportation money spent by government goes to building and repairing roads
"As Cato Institute transportation analyst Randal O'Toole points out, the construction of the nation's federal highways was largely complete in 1982, but instead of reducing the gas tax that helped pay for them, congress raised the tax and spent much of the money on things like bicycle trails and mass transit. 'Building an interstate highway system', writes O'Toole, 'has been replaced by a complex and often contradictory set of missions: maintaining infrastructure, enhancing mobility, reducing air pollution, discouraging driving, supporting transit, building expensive rail lines, promoting economic development, stimulating the economy, stopping climate change and ending urban sprawl, among others.'   Then, when roads deteriorate, the federal government laments that it doesn't have enough money...   Often mass transit carries few passengers, while nearby roads are congested..."

"I recently returned home after two weeks of engagements in New Zealand and Australia focusing on empowerment through reading...   Many people were shocked when I relayed the facts about the deleterious effects of Obamacare on employment, skyrocketing insurance premiums and the displacement of health care providers.   Furthermore, they had little knowledge about Benghazi, the Internal Revenue Service scandal, the Veterans Affairs debacle or the depth of our financial woes...   I was delighted with the enthusiasm for reading Down Under, and with the understanding that virtually any young person, regardless of their economic background, can empower himself with the knowledge that comes from reading.   This acquisition of knowledge is the antidote to the herd mentality induced by an agenda-driven media.   Reading was emphasized so strongly among the early settlers of America that anyone who finished the second or third grade was completely literate, as is borne out in the beautiful prose that characterized the writing style and letters of the Western frontiers of America in the early 19th century.   Many Southern aristocrats also exhibited impressive writing skills and understanding of the English language.   Interestingly, the same highly educated rulers forbade under enormous penalty the teaching of slaves to read.   They fully understood how empowering education and knowledge are.   It is likely that Frederick Douglass fled the plantation to escape the wrath of his master, who was displeased that his slave was learning to read...   I am convinced that the dream of our Founding Fathers of a free nation filled with knowledgeable and caring people who trust in God and accept personal responsibility is still possible.   Each of us has a role to play in the realization of that dream.   A big part of that role is self-education..."

The real questions are (1) whether it should be split into 5 states, 6 states, 8 states, 10 states, or 12 states -- perhaps dividing north to south down the middle to separate coastal from inland areas, and then 6 boundaries running east-west to create more homogeneous states; and (2) where to establish the boundaries...jgo

happy 30th anniversary (or maybe 50th), Central American humanitarian crisis
"The 'horrendous civil wars in Central America' were a major topic during the presidential debates [in 1916, and again] between Reagan and Mondale...in 1984...   [Leftists] finally settled on complaining that if only we'd passed 'comprehensive immigration reform' [i.e. reprehensible immigration law perversion], none of this would have ever happened...   We are not dealing with a delicate point of logic here, some tiny flaw in [leftists'] reasoning, where they neglect to consider this or that aspect of a situation.   This is something I don't recall encountering before.   It's anti-logic.   The Schumer-Rubio amnesty bill [S744] would have made this crisis 10K times worse than it already is.   The precise reason our borders are besieged is that the 11M to 20M 'undocumented migrants' currently living here seem just a few more bad Marco Rubio speeches away from being legalized.   And the reason they entered the country undocumentedly is that Reagan granted amnesty to 3M illegal aliens in 1986 [and another 578K in 1994, and antoher 1M in 1997, 125K in 1998, and 1.3M in 2000]..."

what if universities provided contacts and information constantly, but only charged for classes taken now and then over a period of decades?
"More often than not, they say, students experience graduate school and its benefits in this order: 'learn-learn-learn-certify-wait-wait-wait-deploy'.   Buying the whole [Swiss army knife] up-front made sense when taking courses required students to move to Philadelphia...   What might Wharton look like in 2035?   Mr. Terwiesch agreed to speculate: Students accepted to Wharton would still take part in an immersive program right away.   But instead of 2 [or 6 or 8] years, it would last 10 months—long enough to make friends, participate in experiential parts of the program, and become members of the club.   They would pay a fee for the immersion, but not the balance of their tuition.   After that, students would graduate into the work force, but they would stay enrolled at Wharton on a subscription basis.   One day, a Wharton subscriber working in investment banking might get put on a team that oversees mergers and acquisitions.   Instead of aching to recall the lessons she learned back in business school (and later forgot), she takes an on-line 'mini-course' from Wharton.   'The new pattern becomes learn-certify-deploy, learn-certify-deploy.'..."

"Jackson said black underrepresentation in tech companies cannot be explained by a lack of technical skills... The diversity reports are typically filed with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and companies are not required to make the information public... blacks account for a very small percentage of their employees in the U.S.A. 70% of Google's employees are men and 61% of its U.S. employees are white, according to the workforce diversity report it released in May. Blacks accounted for 2% of Google's U.S. work-force. FB provided similar data. In the U.S.A., 57% of the social network's work-force is white while blacks account for 2%. But tech companies like Google find it 'difficult' to recruit and retain women and minorities, wrote Laszlo Bock, Google's senior vice president for People Operations, in a blog post in May. Women earn roughly 18% of all computer science degrees in the U.S.A., and blacks and Hispanics each account for under 10% of U.S. college graduates, and each bag fewer than 10% of degrees in computer science majors, he wrote... black people are also severely under-represented in non-technical Silicon Valley roles..."

moral clarity in Israel and Palestine: Hamas initiated this conflict on its own
"everyone knows the proudly self-declared raison d'etre of Hamas: the eradication of Israel and its Jews.   Apologists for Hamas attribute the blood lust to the Israeli occupation and blockade.   Occupation?   Does no one remember anything?   It was less than 10 years ago that worldwide television showed the Israeli army pulling die-hard settlers off synagogue roofs in [Gaza=Palestine] as Israel uprooted its settlements, expelled its citizens, withdrew its military and turned every inch of [Palestine=Gaza] over to the Palestinians.   There was not a soldier, not a settler, not a single Israeli left in [Gaza=Palestine]...   To help the [Palestine=Gaza] economy, Israel gave the Palestinians its 3K greenhouses that had produced fruit and flowers for export.   It opened border crossings and encouraged commerce...   And how did the Gaza Palestinians react to being granted by the Israelis what no previous ruler, neither Egyptian, nor British, nor Turkish, had ever given them -- an independent territory?   First, they demolished the green-houses.   Then they elected Hamas.   Then, instead of building a state with its attendant political and economic institutions, they spent the better part of a decade turning [Gaza=Palestine] into a massive military base, brimming with terror weapons, to make ceaseless war on Israel.   Where are the roads and rail, the industry and infrastructure of the new Palestinian state?   Nowhere.   Instead, they built mile upon mile of underground tunnels to hide their weapons and, when the going gets tough, their military commanders.   They spent millions importing and producing rockets, launchers, mortars, small arms, even drones.   They deliberately placed them in schools, hospitals, mosques and private homes to better expose their own civilians.   (Just Thursday, the U.N. announced that it found 20 rockets in a Gaza school.)   And from which they fire rockets at Jerusalem and Tel Aviv..."

"'Operation Choke Point is one of the most dangerous programs I have experienced in my 45 years of service as a bank regulator, bank attorney and consultant, and bank board member.   Operating without legal authority and guided by a political agenda, unelected officials at the DoJ are discouraging banks from providing basic banking services…to lawful businesses simply because they don't like them.', said William M.

Eric Holder, back off from settlements with banks from financial "crisis"
"I have described, in painstaking detail, the crimes committed by banks that led to the financial crisis, spurring one of the largest destructions of wealth in American history.   I have shown that the mortgage market of 2002 to 2006 was constructed on a mountain of fraud, and that we must do everything we can to both punish the wrong-doers and ensure that such a disaster never happens again.   But with these settlements you've reached, the Justice Department has massively distorted and perverted the notion of accountability until it no longer has meaning...   you can more responsibly achieve by taxing bank executives rather than subjecting their share-holders to penalties...   Citigroup this week agreed to pay $7G to end an inquiry into its fraudulent packaging of mortgage-backed securities during the rise of the housing bubble.   Citi sold these bonds to investors under a contractual promise that the mortgages backing them had certain quality standards, yet they knew they were peddling garbage and sold them anyway...   [But the vast majority of it is going to DoJ rather than to the victims of the fraud, and it's coming from stock-owners instead of from the executives who made the decisions.]..."

Israel must destroy Hamas tunnels no matter how long it takes
"If you're looking for a reason for the supposed impoverishment of Gaza, look no further than the maze of tunnels -- some of them miles long -- Hamas has built under their territory and beyond their borders into Israel.   It's the jihadist version of Boston's 'Big Dig'.   The construction is so extensive that nearly every able-bodied man must have been employed in the occupation of tunnel-building, not to mention the huge diversion of funds, much of it donated by the West, for material like concrete originally trucked into [Gaza=Palestine] by the Israelis and others for 'humanitarian purposes'.   A huge complex is reported to have been built under Gaza City that houses the wealthy Hamas leadership, including Ismail Haniyeh, who is said to be a multi-millionaire.   He is undoubtedly a 'strong' critic of 'income inequality', along with the Hamas capo di tutti cappi Khaled Meshal, said to be a billionaire and currently residing in a luxury hotel in Qatar safely out of harm's way.   (For those, like most members of the MSM, who are unaware, [Gaza=Palestine] before Hamas was considered one of the more opulent areas of the Arab world and was frequently used by Egyptians as a honeymoon spot.)...   But most of all, now is the time to get behind the Israeli government and troops with our support.   We need them to finish the job, to keep going until not a single Hamas tunnel is left.   That will send a message that will resonate throughout the world.   And remember -- #DefundHamas."

fascism, socialism, communism, collectivism lead to widespread poverty
Andrew B. Wilson: Ludwig von Mises Institute: Thomas Piketty has what Ludwig von Mises described as _The Anti-Capitalistic Mentality_
"Why do so many people 'loathe' capitalism?   He gives a threefold answer.   The first factor is simple ignorance.   Few people credit capitalism for the fact that they 'enjoy amenities that were denied to even the most prosperous people of earlier generations'.   Telephones, cars, steel-making, and thousands of other advancements are all 'an achievement of classical liberalism, free trade, laissez faire, and capital' -- with the driving force being the profit motive and the deployment of capital used in the development of better tools and machines and the creation of new products.   Take away capitalism and you wipe out most or all of the extraordinary progress that has been made in raising living standards and reducing poverty since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution.   The second factor is envy, the green-eyed monster...   'Capitalism grants to each the opportunity to attain the most desirable positions which, of course, can only be attained by the few...   Whatever a man may have gained for himself, there are always before his eyes people who have outstripped him...'...   And finally, the third factor is the unceasing vilification of capitalism by those who seek to constrain or destroy it..."

senator Jeff Sessions, commenting on STEM lay-offs and displacement of US citizen STEM professionals, blasted billionaires for lobbying against immigration reform
"MSFT employs about 125K people, and they are laying off 18K.   The company laid off 5K in 2009...   The U.S. Census Bureau reports that three-fourths of Americans with STEM degrees—science, technology, engineering, mathematics—don't have jobs in STEM fields.   According to a recent research paper from the Economic Policy Institute: 'Guest workers may be filling as many as half of all new information technology jobs each year.'   It goes on.   'IT workers earn the same today as they did, generally, 14 years ago.'   Wages aren't going up, and in many cases they are going down...   'Currently, only 1 of every 2 STEM college graduates is hired in a STEM job each year...   Policies that expand the supply of guest workers will discourage U.S. students from going into STEM fields, and into IT in particular.'...
 
Hal Salzman...'For the 180K or so [STEM] openings annually, U.S. colleges and universities supply 500K [STEM] graduates.'...
 
Bob Charette, at the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers [IEEE], writes, 'Wages for US workers in computer and math fields have largely stagnated since 2000...   Even as the Great Recession slowly recedes, STEM workers at every stage of the career pipeline, from freshly minted grads to mid- and late-career Ph.D.s, still struggle to find employment.'...   there are more than 11M Americans with STEM degrees who don't have STEM jobs...
 
Look at these recent headlines. Today: 'MSFT To Cut Work-Force By 18K This Year, Moving Now To Cut First 13K'.   How about this headline: '[Google-owned] Motorola To Cut 10% Of Workforce After Laying Off 20% Last Year.'   'Panasonic To Cut 10K More Workers In The Next 5 Months.'   '[On-line media and advertising company] CityGrid Lays Off 15% Of Its Employees.'   'Hewlett-Packard: 27K Job Cuts to Save Up To $3.5B By 2014.'...
 
'For example, Hewlett-Packard, whose executive-vice-president for Human Resources Tracy Keogh signed the letter [demanding more cheap, young, pliant H-1B guest-workers with flexible ethics], laid off 29K employees in 2012.   In August of this year, Cisco Systems, whose senior-vice-president and chief-human-resources-Officer Kathleen Weslock signed the letter, announced plans to lay off 4K -- in addition to 8K cut in the last 2 years.   United Technologies, whose senior-vice-president for human resources and organization Elizabeth B. Amato signed the letter, announced lay-offs of 3K this year.   American Express, whose chief-human-resources-officer L. Kevin Cox signed the letter, cut 5,400 jobs this year.   Proctor & Gamble, whose chief-human-resources-officer Mark F. Biegger signed the letter, announced plans to cut 5,700 jobs in 2012...   T-Mobile announced 2,250 lay-offs in 2012.   Archer-Daniels-Midland [ADM] laid off 1,200.   Texas Instruments [TI] nearly 2K.   Cigna 1,300.   Verizon sought to cut 1,700 jobs.   Marriott announced hundreds of lay-offs this year.   International Paper has closed plants and laid off dozens.'   Including an old, big plant with 1K workers or so in north Alabama.   'And General Mills, in what the Minneapolis Star-Tribune called a rare mass layoff, laid off 850 people last year...   Merck announced it would cut 8,500 jobs in an effort to remain competitive in a rapidly changing drug industry.   Earlier this year Merck announced plans to cut 7,500 jobs, bringing the total of workers let go to 16K.   In all, Merck intends to lay off 1 out of every 5 of its employees.'...
 
Robert Charette [of IEEE] says: 'about 15M U.S. residents hold at least a bachelor's degree in a STEM discipline, but three-fourths of them -- 11.4M -- work outside of STEM.'...   'There are 7 Unemployed Construction Workers for Every Job Opening'...   The United States let in 40M new immigrants legal and illegal—since 1970...   The share of the population today that is foreign-born has quadrupled."

"She noted Gates recently penned an op-ed calling for no limits on guest-worker visas just before his company announced lay-offs of 18K employees.   Amnesty supporters are able to build their own 'borders' through gated communities to keep out undesirables, Palin said, but they have no interest in securing the country's borders...   Palin said it would be the 'forgotten man' who would be forced to compete with illegals for work and resources and see their tax money go to pay for illegal immigrant absorption."

"You may remember Malvo was half of a two-man killing squad that terrorized, robbed and killed people in about a dozen states back in 2002.   When the pair was at the peak of their killing spree, the media incorrectly dubbed the then 17-year old Malvo and his 41-year-old accomplice, John Muhammad, 'The Beltway Snipers', and the 'D.C. Snipers'.   The pair didn't only go after targets in and around the nation's capital.   They began their murderous binge in Washington state in 2002 February.   Travelling through nearly a dozen states, their total victim count was 10 injured and 17 dead.   They didn't attract national attention until their random sniper attacks erupted close to the seat of power, in and around Washington, D.C., in 2002 October.   After their capture, Muhammad was convicted in 2003 and executed in 2009.   Young Malvo was sentenced to 6 consecutive life sentences with no possible parole...   profiting from the notoriety of a crime is against Virginia law -- Code Section 19.2-368.20, to be exact.   It states that any profits received by an inmate as a result of his notoriety, 'shall require that the defendant and the person with whom the defendant contracts pay (the court, the proceeds to)...   be placed in a special escrow account for the victims of the defendant's crime'..."

the world is returning to normal -- constant war
"Truth is, war is normal and peace very unusual.   We've lived through a happy time, ever since the Second World War.   Thanks to American super-power, and the destruction of the totalitarian regimes in Rome, Berlin and Moscow, we've had a happy period of relative peace.   Very few big wars.   Little genocides (China is exceptional, but they changed to accommodate the global pattern).   Deterrence (as in 'mutual assured destruction') mostly worked.   That was a rare time.   Now we're getting back to normal.   There's a good reason for that old Roman wisdom 'if you want peace, prepare for war'.   It's because 'peace' most always happens when somebody wins a war, and then imposes conditions on the losers.   That's what 'peace conferences' are all about.   Our recent happy time was the result of war, and our adoption of the Roman wisdom.   We smashed our enemies, we created military alliances to deter our new enemies (NATO, etcetera), we built and maintained a big arsenal on land, air and sea.   We prepared for war to make peace possible...   We have always wanted 2 incompatible things at once: we want to export the American model, and we want to stay out of other countries' affairs.   We have invariably waited until the eleventh hour before fighting..."

"First, Vladimir Putin suppresses -- sometimes violently -- virtually all dissent in Russia; and most Russians are apparently entirely comfortable with it.   Not just comfortable -- supportive.   Second, there is widespread nostalgia among Russian citizens for Stalin.   One has to wonder if there is any other example of a large body of people pining for a leader who murdered tens of millions of their own people.   Third, there is increasingly little difference between the Russian media and the Soviet media.   Both were/are saturated with lies.   Anne Applebaum, foreign affairs columnist for the Washington Post, reports that: 'Russia's state-controlled mass media...still constantly denigrate Ukraine and its Nazi government.   Just in the past week, Russian reporting on Ukraine reached a new pitch of hysteria, with fake stories about the supposed crucifixion of a child and an extraordinary documentary comparing the Ukrainian army's defense of its own country with the Rwandan genocide.'   Fourth, to the widespread acclaim of the Russian people, Putin annexed part of Ukraine, and is using Russian Ukrainians to violently annex more..."

_Conservative HQ_
Ken Cuccinelli pointed out that the federal government cannot prevent states from defending borders; the US constitution explicitly recognizes their power to do so
"While rarely discussed, Article I, Section 10, Clause 3 of the Constitution states as follows: 'No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in war, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.'   The border states that are being directly invaded by illegal immigrants -- [Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, California, Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, NY, NH, Vermont, Maine and coastal states like Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, Virginia...] -- may constitutionally deal with the invasion themselves, at least as it relates to attempting to stop the flow across their own borders.   And there is nothing [the hate-filled race-obsessed anti-Semitic anti-Christian crony-socialist oath-breaker Barack Hussein Obummer] or those in Washington [DC] can do to stop any of these states, if they are determined to act.   In the article below, Governor Perry appears to be prepared to call out the National Guard to protect the borders of Texas from the worsening invasion.   He has full constitutional authority to take that action.   Then-Democrat governor of New Mexico, Bill Richardson, did the same thing during his term as Governor.   However, in theory at least, president [Obummer] could 'federalize' the Texas National Guard, i.e., call it up into federal service, at which point it effectively becomes an active duty element of our national military answerable to the President, not the Governor of Texas.   But as I said earlier, if Texas is determined enough, they can use their own police, sheriffs, Texas rangers, and whatever else they've got aside from the National Guard, and there is truly nothing the federal government could do to stop them.   The founders [recognized the tools of states] to counter-balance a failing [or derelict] federal government..."

we like governor Perry's National Guard deployment, but...
"Texas governor Rick Perry showed real leadership and political guts when he announced yesterday that he is sending 1K Texas National Guard troops to the Rio Grande valley along the U.S.A. - Mexico border.   It would be great if the governors of the other border states, California, New Mexico and Arizona followed suit, but we don't hold out much hope of that, especially for California now that its Democratic governor Jerry Brown is considering a run for president...   Perry's action is necessary because in the strange [non-logic] that only president [Obummer] could construct, the invasion of our southern border is not a border enforcement issue, because tens of thousands of women and children are turning themselves in to the border patrol, not running away from them.   Thus they can be ushered into our country, fed and clothed at [tax-victim] expense and dispersed throughout the American heartland never to be seen again until they commit [additional crimes] or demand [tax-victim]-funded services...   Since 2008, more than 203K criminal aliens have been booked into Texas county jails.   Over the course of their criminal careers, these individuals have committed more than 640K crimes in the state of Texas alone, including more than 3K homicides and nearly 8K sexual assaults..."

Rick Perry announced details of Texas National Guard border deployment
"troops will support the Texas Department of Public Safety's (DPS) ongoing law enforcement surge, Operation Strong Safety, which is focused on combatting criminal activity in the region resulting from the federal government's failure [refusal] to adequately secure the border.   In his testimony before the House committee on Homeland Security Perry said that, 'The rapid influx of illegal immigrants has strained border resources that were already insufficient to the task at hand.   Officials who should be guarding the border are dealing with the overflow instead of fulfilling their primary tasks.   As a result, the border between the U.S.A. and Mexico is less secure today than at any time in the recent past, which is why we ordered the new surge.   We know that drug cartels and trans-national gangs are already seeking to take advantage of the situation, attempting to circumvent security and spread pain and suffering on both sides of the border through their criminal activities.   We're also in danger at the hands of those who might be slipping through from countries with known terrorist ties.'"

"Hamas is not an isolated or even an entirely independent player.   Rather, it is a member of a broader regional alliance, which is seeking to benefit from the current situation.   This is the alliance of Muslim Brotherhood forces in the Middle East.   Qatar is the main financier and cheerleader for this group.   Erdogan's Turkey is also linked to it.   The [Gaza=Palestine] war is best understood as this alliance's war on Israel...   The dead Palestinians and the dead Israelis, presumably, are seen by the Hamas leaders Mashaal and Haniyeh, both of whom own mansions in Doha, and by the rich-as-Croesus Qatari emir, as acceptable collateral damage in return for their improved diplomatic and strategic position."

"Congressional committees have a lot on their plate these days with the IRS, Benghazi, the VA fiasco, etc., but recent events dictate they must add one more -- the role of the United Nations in [Gaza=Palestine].   The United States provides more financial support to the UN than any other country.   As Claudia Rosett wrote in Forbes in 2011 ('Magic for U.S. Money for the United Nations'): 'The U.S. is by far the biggest donor to the U.N., bank-rolling 22% of the U.N.'s core budget, and roughly 25% of its far larger and murkier system-wide spending (estimated at somewhere upward of $25G).'...   It therefore behooves Congress to make sure this money is being spent for good, or at the very least benign, purposes...   The UN -- specifically the UNRWA (UN Relief and Works Agency), but other agencies as well -- may have been actively supporting terrorism and terrorists in the [Gaza Strip=Palestine], even aiding with the storage of Hamas weaponry (missiles), whether deliberately or accidentally is unclear...   'Israeli troops entering [Palestine=Gaza] last week have so far uncovered 18 tunnels used by Hamas to send armed terrorists into Israel and built using an estimated 800K tons of concrete...   Erecting Dubai's Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest tower, required 110K tons of concrete...   And that's just 18 tunnels.   Egypt, on its end, recently claimed to have destroyed an additional 1,370.'"

Liberman to Ban: Israel outraged over UNRWA turning over rockets to Hamas
"In a meeting with UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon on Wednesday, foreign-minister Avigdor Liberman decried that not only were rockets found in UNRWA schools in Gaza, but also that UNRWA then turned them over to Hamas, rather than to Israel...   Liberman pointed out that there was not a single condemnation of the killing of 3K Palestinians in the Yarmuk refugee camp in Syria, and not a single discussion about it neither in any international forum, nor even in the institutions of the Palestinian Authority...   'They are committed to death and destruction.', he said, adding that instead of investing in education, health-care and building for [Palestine's=Gaza's] future, Hamas had wasted millions of dollars on rockets and tunnels."

74% of people with STEM degrees don't get STEM jobs
"among those with college degrees in computer-related occupations, men are paid more than women ($90,354 vs. $78,859 on average), and African American workers are more likely to be unemployed than a white or Asian worker.   The unemployment rate among 'computer workers' with at least a bachelor's degree was 2.6% for people categorized as white, and 5.3% as black or African American, according to U.S. Census data...   only 26% of people with any type of 4-year STEM degree are working in a STEM field.   [Only] 49% [of those with 4-year computer, math, or statistics degrees are employed in those fields], nearly the same for engineering degrees...   The largest numbers are managers at non-STEM businesses (22.5%), or having careers in education (17.7%), business/finance (13.2%) and office support (11.5%)...   [The unemployment in STEM is nearly 3 times as bad as full employment levels now], 'but wage growth in most STEM occupations has been pretty flat for many years and employment growth has only recently shown any bounce.', said Lowell...   Stan Sorscher, labor representative at the Society for Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA), a union representing over 24K scientists, engineers, and other professional employees in the aerospace industry, said there are three factors that discourage long-term STEM careers.   The first is age discrimination, particularly in software occupations.   Second is the number of contingent positions and third is the use of foreign workers holding H-1B visas, who tend to take entry-level or near entry level jobs making it difficult for those who want to start out in the field, he said...   'You may have many career options from a STEM job, but it's very difficult to change jobs into a STEM occupation.'   Any time not in the field is career limiting, he explained."

"Nearly 70 years ago, on 1944 August 1, lieutenant-general George S. Patton took command of the American Third Army in France.   For the next 30 days they rolled straight toward the German border.   Patton almost did not get a chance at his summer of glory.   After brilliant service in North Africa and Sicily, fellow officers -- and his German enemies -- considered him the most gifted American field general of his generation.   But near the conclusion of his illustrious Sicilian campaign, the volatile Patton slapped 2 sick GIs in field hospitals, raving that they were shirkers.   In truth, both were ill and at least one was suffering from malaria..."

"The Constitution plainly recognizes the residual power of a state to respond to an actual invasion of its territory.   I have to assume, however, that governor Perry can also read the words of the constitution [which allows the federal government to call the militia into federal service].   He must know that [the hate-filled race-obsessed anti-Semitic anti-Christian crony-socialist oath-breaker Barack Hussein Obummer] can easily counter his show of independence by declaring an emergency along the Texas border and calling the Texas National Guard 'into the actual service of the United States'.   In that event, instead of serving Perry's purposes, Texans will be constitutionally required to obey the [oath-breaker] in chief..."

"Whether in [Gaza=Palestine], Lebanon, Iraq or Iran, terrorists (and their tyrant backers) have moved under-ground, carrying out their operations in tunnels, literally digging under their enemies, waiting to blow them up or kidnap them.   That's how Hamas abducted Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit in 2006.   That's how Hizballah grabbed the bodies of 2 soldiers and started a war in Lebanon in 2006.   This week they tried again.   Hamas sent teams of fighters (dressed in Israeli uniforms) into 4 tunnels from Gaza that came up not far from dining rooms of several kibbutzim inside Israel.   They wanted to grab or kill as many civilians as possible.   Terror groups in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan have similar goals...   Hamas and Hizballah have not built anything but tunnels and bunkers.   Al-Qaeda and its copy-cats have not built anything, not a road or one school..."

biased news, immigration...
"Broadcasters have offered lengthy broadcasts about Gaza and Ukraine but scant criticism about the White House role in the double crises.   On the 'Big Three' networks, in fact, the criticism amounted to less than a minute -- in almost 6 hours of recent news coverage.   'While the three evening newscasts have offered considerable coverage of the unfolding events, CBS, NBC and ABC have made almost no attempt to evaluate the performance of [president Obummer], Secretary of State John F. Kerry or the administration generally, and critics of the administration itself have been ignored.', observes Scott Whitlock, a senior news analyst at the Media Research Center.   'Since July 8, the broadcast evening newscasts have aired 79 stories totaling 169 minutes on the Gaza fighting.   Only 45 seconds of that included criticism of the administration.', Mr. Whitlock says.   'Since July 17, the three evening news-casts have aired 96 stories totaling 209 minutes on the jet shootdown; just 10 seconds of that coverage has included criticism of [Obummer] or his team.'   It's come to be a pattern.   'During the George W. Bush administration [Shrub regime], the networks routinely turned to harsh critics of the president, highlighting and blaming Bush for foreign and domestic problems.', the analyst said.   'The networks have devoted huge resources to covering these stories.   It's highly unusual -- and a huge favor to the White House -- that so little effort has been spent trying to actually evaluate the administration's performance.'...   'Long gone, evidently, are the days when the late, great Sonny Bono, asked for his position on illegal immigration, answered: My position?   What do you mean, my position?   It's illegal.   Still, I have never understood the claim that open borders is a winning political issue for the Democrats.', says Powerlineblog.com columnist John Hinderaker.   He cites a recent Rasmussen Reports poll revealing that 59% of likely U.S. voters say the primary focus of any new immigration legislation passed by congress should be to send the distressed youngsters home as quickly as possible...   'The number of voters who want to deport all illegal immigrants stands at a record 24%.   That's up from 18% in May and a low of 15% in January.', says Fox News polling analyst Dana Blanton.   'Over half of voters -- 56% -- disapprove of how president [Obummer] is dealing with the border crisis...   David Schweikert...The Arizona Republican recently introduced the Southwest Border Protection Act, which would deploy at least 10K National Guard personnel on the Southwest border region until 'operation control' is achieved, he says."

"In 2005 August, almost 32 years later, I was there when Israeli premier Ariel Sharon, finally withdrew Israel's troops from [Palestine=Gaza] and evacuated Israeli settlers from the rich fruit and vegetable producing settlements they had established along the strip.   The corrupt Palestinian Authority took over full control of [Gaza=Palestine].   Even the network of miraculously flourishing greenhouses that Israeli settlers had built became Palestinian, something Israel hoped would help convince the [Palestinian=Gaza] leadership to keep peaceful borders with the Jewish state.   That didn't happen.   The chain of greenhouses was soon looted and all but completely destroyed.   Fatah, Hamas, and half a dozen other Palestinian terrorist organizations began raiding Israeli targets again from Gaza to the point where the Israeli army had to return for three short stints to flush out terrorist nests..."

Hamas's triumph

Hamas's useful idiots
"Each civilian death in Gaza is a tragedy, but who is ultimately responsible?   The moral calculus here is simple.   Hamas precipitated the war and persisted in waging it even when Israel was willing to accept an Egyptian offer of a cease-fire.   Hamas hides its rockets in schools and places its command bunkers under hospitals.   It wants war, and it wants civilian casualties.   Josef Stalin infamously said that one death is a tragedy, a million is a statistic.   Hamas is happy with either a tragedy (the 4 kids killed on the beach by Israeli shells last week) or a statistic (the climbing civilian toll), so long as it is death and so long as it can be used in the propaganda war against Israel...   700 people were killed in Syria last weekend alone..."

survival instinct: comparing Israel and USA
World Net Daily
West provides an insight.   Neither Hamas nor the Palestinian Authority, nor many in the US federal government have much concern for the survival of the citizenry, but a lot of concern for their own survival, wealth-enhancement, and power-madness.   They build bomb shelters and establish praetorian guards for themselves, but actively resist defending the public, and often, instead, assault them.

evaluation of transmission risks associated with in vivo replication of several high containment pathogens in a bio-safety level 4 laboratory
"One examined the simultaneous infection of 6 groups of NHPs with 6 different viruses (Machupo, Junin, Rift Valley Fever, Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever, Nipah and Hendra viruses).   Washing personnel between handling each NHP group, floor to ceiling bio-bubble with HEPA filter, and plexiglass between cages were employed for partial primary containment.   The second experiment employed no primary containment around open barred cages with Ebola virus infected NHPs 0.3 meters from naïve NHPs.   Viral antigen-specific ELISAs, qRT-PCR and TCID50 infectious assays were utilized to determine antibody levels and viral loads.   No transmission of virus to neighbouring NHPs was observed suggesting limited containment protocols are sufficient for multi-viral CL4 experiments within one room.   The results support the concept that Ebola virus infection is self-contained in NHPs infected intra-muscularly, at least in the present experimental conditions, and is not transmitted to naïve NHPs via an airborne route...   In humans EBOV infection requires contact with infected bodily fluids into an open wound or mucous membrane, however, aerosol infection has been demonstrated in NHPS under experimental conditions using aerosol dispersion chambers.   One experiment reported contact free transmission between infected NHPs to one uninfected NHP although cross-contamination due to husbandry practices could not be ruled out with certainty.   Interestingly, EBOV infected swine transmitted the virus to naïve NHPs over a 0.3 meter buffer zone that prevented direct contact between the 2 species.   Overall, all four virus families have demonstrated the capacity to be transmitted via the air in different experimental protocols..."

why does USA tolerate medical fraud by third world doctors?
"The investigation took up the time of more than 100 investigators from 13 law enforcement agencies...   Zuberi isn't new to this game.   He was convicted of second and third degree charges of Medicaid fraud back in 1998.   He was sentenced to six years and barred from the Medicaid program.   On getting out, he could no longer bill the government himself.   So he started DIA's menagerie of front imaging businesses...   Several similar recent cases of Indian immigrant medical ethics have resulted in mere out-of-court financial settlements...   That might be appropriate if he had been accused of blotting his paper-work.   But he was found to have ordered unqualified non-physicians to perform invasive medical procedures...   Cases involving Indian perfidy in other professions are legion and deserve their own subspecialty.   What stands out? A tendency for these cases to end with repayments and fines rather than jail time...   Deportation, anyone?...   Many Indians obviously consider America's slovenly-managed welfare/insurance state as a resource to be milked...   The degree to which these scams are family enterprises..."

fighting parasitic bureaubums and crony socialism
"...Thus the Dodd-Frank Act gives favored financial institutions too-big-to-fail status that enables them to muscle aside potential competitors.   The Export-Import Bank provides special favors to a few giant corporations.   But there are few loans to start-up businesses.   Government subsidization of health care, even before [ObummerDoesn'tCare], and of higher education creates huge dysfunctional bureaucracies that vacuum up supposed benefits to patients and students.   Agricultural subsidies and price-fixing, 'green energy' programs, laws such as the Jones Act and Davis-Bacon that restrict work to unionized firms -- all siphon off money and resources from the productive private sector to politically well-positioned special interests..."

Gaza=Palestine continued: What should be done about the corrupt UN?
"Word came Tuesday that now a third UNRWA school in Gaza was housing rockets for Hamas.   (How the missiles were never noticed before was unclear -- maybe they were stacked beneath the erasers and paper clips or hidden under student spit-balls.)...   Further, Breitbart.com is reporting: 'This week, UNRWA supplies and building materials had been found in Hamas's tunnel infrastructure, which has been used to smuggle weapons and carry out attacks on the State of Israel.'   How'd that get there?   More of that pesky teenage pilfering when teacher turned his back?   Or was it something a bit more intentional?   No wonder The Algemeiner is asking: Are UN Agencies Fighting for Human Rights or Supporting Terrorism?..."

technical failure continues to clog up visa and passport system
"The data-processing system experienced significant performance issues, including outages, between July 19 and July 23.   The database was brought back on-line on July 23, but the system still isn't fully functional, according to the State Department.   Experts estimate tens of thousands of visas are working their way through the pipe-line...   The Consular Consolidated Database contains millions of visa files and photographs and links to other federal agency security data-bases, such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation's finger-print-identification system.   The State Department also runs facial recognition and name checks through the system.   In 2013, the Bureau of Consular Affairs issued 9.1M non-immigrant visas and nearly 500K immigrant visas...   'We believe the root cause of the problem was a combination of software optimization and hardware compatibility issues.'...   Until the system is fully back on-line, consular officers are unable to issue and print visas, which are embedded onto an applicant's passport page... In India, many high-tech workers and researchers waiting for temporary work visas, such as H-1B visas, have had their interviews canceled or rescheduled...due to report for work at major pharmaceutical, information-technology firms and academic Institutions."

"The greater point is that the lemonade stand is an American cultural icon for a reason.   Lemonade stands are private enterprise with training wheels, which is why I love them.   (Admittedly, the cuteness factor is also a selling point.)   Without small business, America's economy would not have grown so big.   Those of you born here may take this for granted.   But on the other side of the world where I grew up, a kid who set up a lemonade stand might have had rocks thrown at him... The trouble is that being an entrepreneur is a special talent not all of us have -- for example, me..."

is pres. Obummer incompetent, a scofflaw, insane, or all of the above?
News Max
"President George W. Bush [Shrub] once famously signed into law a statute prohibiting federal agents without a search warrant from reading mail sent to persons other than themselves -- and as he was literally holding his pen, he stated he had no intention of enforcing it.   That was a rejection of his presidential duties and a violation of his oath.   But today, president Obama [Obummer] has taken the concept of discretion and so distorted it, and has taken the obligation of faithful enforcement and so rejected it, that his job as chief law enforcer has become one of incompetent madness or chief lawbreaker.   Time after time, in areas as disparate as civil liberties, immigration, foreign affairs and health care, the president has demonstrated a propensity for rejecting his oath and doing damage to our fabric of liberty that cannot easily be undone by a successor..."

WW1, the not so great war
"...It is a truism that wars are started by old men who send young men (and now women) to die.   What was then called The Great War turned out to be 'great', but only in its carnage.   The figures, though still in dispute, are staggering even to this day.   According to figures compiled by the U.S. Justice Department, there were more than 37M casualties, including dead, wounded and missing.   Russia and Germany lost the most (1.7M and 1.73M respectively), followed by Austria-Hungary (1.2M), France (1.35M) and Britain (908,371).   The U.S.A., because of its late entry into the conflict, suffered 116,516 dead, 204,002 wounded..."

most illegal aliens being relocated within Texas
"Between Jan. 1 and July 7, federal authorities have released 4,280 'unaccompanied minors with sponsors' to Texas for placement in the state -- a figure which eclipses every other state.   Texas is followed by New York (3,347); Florida (3,181); California (3,150); and Virginia (2,234).   The total number of [illegal alien] minors released to the states through July 7 is 30,340. Those figures, however, only relate to children with sponsors... On July 29, Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steve McCraw told Texas state law-makers that since June 18, approximately $5.2M has been spent... The majority -- $4.4M -- of the costs have gone to overtime pay. The remaining DPS expenses have been used on travel ($918K), flight costs ($731K), fuel ($84K), and repairs ($24K), according to the Shreveport Times..."

Tea Party blocks GOP losership's amnesty bill
"[An excessive, sloppily] crafted, $659M bill to pay for...tens of thousands of Central American [illegal aliens] collapsed on Thursday...   Cruz, a potential 2016 presidential contender, had lobbied his House Republican colleagues to reject the legislation on the grounds that it was too timid.   The measure, complained Cruz, would not reverse president [Barack Hussein Obummer's unconstitutional] 2012 policy of suspending deportations of [illegal aliens] who were brought to the United States [of America when they were under 21] by their parents...   a pleased Representative Michele Bachmann, the Minnesota Tea Party activist and 2012 presidential candidate.   'The people are very clear.   They want people deported immediately.', Bachmann said.   'And they want to have the fence built up so that they don't come in.   They are tired of seeing their tax dollars spent on people who are here illegally in the United States.'...   [Obummer and Reid] engineered last October's government shut-down when [Ted Cruz] prevailed upon House Republicans to [defund or repeal ObummerDoesn'tCare].   In the end, [ObummerDoesn'tCare] was untouched, agency funding was restored after a damaging 16-day shut-down and public opinion polls showed that voters were disgusted with [extreme leftist/Dem] tactics...   The [Leftist/Democratic-led] senate is pushing a [$2.7G or $3.7G] border-security funding bill, which Republicans are lining up to oppose on the grounds that it spends too much and does not address the root of the Central American migration problem."
