">Newly elected senator Tom Cotton used his first post-election appearance on NBC's 'Meet The Press' to urge immigration reforms that help American get better wages...   'The president just lost an election in no small measure because wages for working families are declining and unemployment is still too high in too many places.', Cotton told the anchor...   'And the first big action he took after the election was to make it easier for illegal immigrants to get jobs, not for working families to get jobs...   I'm reluctant to cede the spending power that a Congress has under the Constitution.   What we might also do is pass a short-term spending measure into the new year to let a new and accountable congress, not a lame-duck congress, make a difference.'...   at least 60 members of the GOP caucus want to block the amnesty -- and their numbers were increased by the November elections..."

enforcement of USA immigration laws would not be "afflicting the stranger"
"In all matters the Bible teaches discernment, and there is a distinct difference between not afflicting another, as opposed to requiring that we provide them citizenship and subsidize an entire life, especially when the burden of that support falls on the shoulders of over-taxed families, themselves not beneficiaries of such 'entitlements'.   Basic respect and kindness is one thing -- it is a sign of our humanity; onerous sacrifice and national bankruptcy is another, something not required.   The Bible's primary interest in this matter is a moral one: we all start out as children of God and should thus be treated with civility.   In contrast to the biblical community, many ancient societies viewed strangers as fair game to be robbed, incarcerated, or as fodder for harsh sport and brutality.   This, the Bible exhorts, was the way of Sodom.   Even today there are cultures and nations where 'infidels' and strangers are oppressed and treated as sub-human and as dhimmis...   God said, 'And I shall protect your borders so that strangers and enemies will not fill your camp and become a thorn in your side.' (Exodus/Shemos/שמות/Shemuth/Names 34:12)..."

Obummer years for a world without the USA
"Did the president watch Dinesh D'Souza's recent documentary as a how-to guide to weaken the republic?   In Marked for Death, Geert Wilders argues that Islam has marked not only him but ultimately every freedom-loving individual and so-called 'Islamophobe' for death because of the supremacist nature of its doctrines.   What outrages Wilders, in addition to the Islamic threat and the demographic inroads the religion of war is carving into the European urban landscape, is the scandalous complicity of Europe's governing elites, leading to the eventual subversion of the continent.   Although Wilders does not address American vulnerability in any detailed way, what must surely strike a disinterested observer is the equal complicity with which the commander in chief of the United States is pursuing a program of American decline.   On the domestic, economic, military, and foreign policy fronts, [Obummer] is energetically and probably irretrievably weakening the country he has sworn to defend, with surprisingly little concerted opposition, or even awareness, from many politicians or from the still-infatuated members of his constituency..."

Dan Cadman _Center for Immigration Studies_
analysis of Obummer's unconstitutional and illegal amnesty scheme for illegal aliens: US ICE personnel reform
"Unknown to most of the public, there is in fact a 3-tiered personnel system in place at ICE among the officer corps.   At the top of the pyramid are special agents of ICE's Homeland Security Investigations division (HSI).   This division is top-heavy with former Customs agents, whose distaste for any kind of Title 8 (immigration) enforcement activity is a poorly kept secret -- and it shows in the statistics.   In 'Deportation Numbers Unwrapped', a 2013 CIS Backgrounder, Jessica Vaughan wrote, 'In 2008, HSI arrests produced 17% of ICE-initiated deportations; in 2013 they are projected to produce only 4% of ICE-initiated deportations.'...   This is shocking because a number of extremely important immigration-related enforcement activities are assigned to this division, among them alien smuggling, worksite enforcement (which has become virtually invisible), policing of the foreign student and overstay populations (a laughable effort under HSI), and anti-gang efforts against such violent criminal organizations as Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) and others that are heavily alien-oriented.   Below HSI agents on the pay grade pyramid are ERO's deportation officers, and further below them yet are ERO's immigration enforcement agents.   These latter two types of officers perform virtually all of the immigration enforcement conducted in the interior of the United States today -- at least as much as this administration is willing to permit, which is by any objective measure an ever-narrowing window...   First, it's notable that DHS -- and ICE particularly -- routinely scores in the gutter on the yearly Office of Personnel Management surveys of federal agency employee morale...   Second, it's even more notable that the ICE agents' union twice issued an overwhelming vote of no confidence in their leaders (see here and here), and then followed those up by taking the extraordinary step of filing a federal lawsuit against the federal government for being prohibited from doing their sworn duties as officers of the law..."

Doctors Without Borders: ebola epidemic continues to expand
"Ebola has infected nearly 17K people, of which about 6K have died, according to the World Health Organization... It reiterated its call for countries with biological-disaster response teams to deploy them. In addition to killing to thousands, the Ebola outbreak, which was identified in March in Guinea, has shut hospitals, schools and markets, hampered cross-border trade and resulted in the suspension of many of the airline flights. In response, the World Bank lowered again on Tuesday its growth projections for the hardest-hit countries. It had already cut them in October. [Note that their economies are still 'growing', not shrinking.]"

the case for the 10 commandments: you can kill, but don't murder
Town Hall
PJMedia (video)
"the Hebrew original does not say, 'Do not kill'.   It says, 'Do not murder'.   Both Hebrew and English have 2 words for taking a life -- one is 'kill' (harag, in Hebrew) and the other is 'murder' (ratzach [(לא תררח) la tertzech, don't murder] in Hebrew)...   murder can only mean one thing: The illegal or immoral taking of a human life.   That's why we say, 'I killed a mosquito', not, 'I murdered a mosquito.' And that's why we would say that 'the worker was accidentally killed', not that 'the worker was accidentally murdered'...   However, you don't have to know how the English language has evolved to understand that the Ten Commandments could not have prohibited all killing.   The very same part of the Bible that contains the Ten Commandments -- the 5 Books of Moses, the Torah as it is known by Jews -- commands the death penalty for murder, allows killing in war, prescribes animal sacrifice and allows eating meat.   A correct understanding of the commandment against murder is crucial because, while virtually every modern translation correctly translates the commandment as 'Do not murder', many people cite the King James translation to justify 2 positions that have no biblical basis: opposition to capital punishment and pacifism.   Regarding capital punishment and the Bible, the only law that appears in each one of the 5 Books of Moses is that murderers be put to death.   Opponents of the death penalty are free to hold the view that all murderers should be allowed to live.   But they are not free to cite the Bible to support their view...   it is dishonest to cite the commandment against murder to justify pacifism.   There is moral killing -- most obviously when done in self-defense against an aggressor -- and there is immoral killing.   And the word for that is 'murder'..."

conservative lawyers question whether patent-holders who charge licensing fees should be forced to loosen up
"Congress is likely to move forward with legislation next year targeting legal maneuvers often used by patent trolls, generally defined as patent holding companies that use questionable legal methods to extract licensing fees from other businesses...   Not so fast, said other speakers at the Federalist Society, a conservative legal advocacy group.   While Federalist Society members and congressional Republicans are natural allies on many issues, many conservative lawyers see the Innovation Act as an erosion of intellectual property rights, speakers said.   Problems with the U.S. patent system and law-suits by patent holding firms, or nonpracticing entities, appear to be exaggerated, said Adam Mossoff, a law professor focused on intellectual property at George Mason University in Virginia.   In recent years, less than 2% of patents ended up in litigation, holding steady with long-term historical trends, Mossoff said.   There is no 'explosion' of patent infringement lawsuits, and studies suggesting the cost of patent law-suits run into the tens of billions of dollars a year are 'entirely made up', he said."
It appears that what the others want is for inventors who don't have the resources to manufacture to give away their patents more cheaply rather than hanging on for a better deal.

"So, who is Terry Bean?

Richard iii's DNA creates paternity question
"Their analysis shows that DNA passed down on the maternal side matches that of living relatives, but genetic information passed down on the male side does not.   However, there are a wealth of other details linking the body to the Plantagenet king.   'If you put all the data together, the evidence is overwhelming that these are the remains of Richard iii.', said Dr. Turi King from Leicester University, who led the study.   Speaking at a news briefing at the Wellcome Trust in London, she said that the lack of a match on the male side was not unexpected; Dr. King's previous research has shown there is a 1%-2% rate of 'false paternity' per generation...   Investigation of the male genealogy focused on the Y chromosome, a package of DNA that is passed down from father to son, much like a surname.   Most living male heirs of the 5th Duke of Beaufort were found to carry a relatively common Y chromosome type, which is different from the rare lineage found in the car park remains.   Richard iii and his royal rival, Henry Tudor (later Henry vii), were both descendants of king Edward iii.   The infidelity could, in theory, have occurred either on the branch leading back from Henry to Edward or on the branch leading from Richard to Edward.   Henry's ancestor John of Gaunt was plagued by rumours of illegitimacy throughout his life, apparently prompted by the absence of Edward iii at his birth.   He was reportedly enraged by gossip suggesting he was the son of a Flemish butcher..."

Erica Werner & Andrew Taylor: Cybercast News Service/AP
"...does nothing to stop [president Barack Hussein Obummer] from granting amnesty to millions of illegal aliens.   Instead, the Yoho -- Price proposal funds the Department of Homeland Security [DHS] through March with the funds necessary to begin implementation of [president Barack Hussein Obummer's] planned amnesty -- a plan that will open the way for illegal aliens to legally compete with Americans for jobs and to obtain [Socialist Insecurity], Medicare and other government benefits.   There is only one way to prevent [president Barack Hussein Obummer] from implementing his plan, and that is for Congress to use the power of the purse the Framers of the Constitution vested in the House to prohibit the executive branch from spending any funds on carrying out this illegal scheme.   As senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama noted in a recent statement, 'This is a perfectly sound and routine application of congressional authority.   In fact, the non-partisan Congressional Research Service reports that last year's omnibus spending bill included 16 such funding restrictions on fee-based programs.'..."

a proposal to end illegal immigration
"it is wrong to both promote and reward illegal immigration.   No matter what I write on my appreciation and support for vigorous legal immigration, the open boarders' lobby has always been there to paint me as a right-wing nut or racist.   In the entire sad, [sordid] history of the political conspiracy between the two major parties to support illegal immigration, I have never once heard -- not one time -- a proposal that I could support that would address the root causes of illegal immigration and eliminate them permanently...   Immigration policy is for the citizens, not for the immigrants.   This is our house, and we decide who gets to visit and who gets to stay.   We make value judgments because we can and because we should.   Any immigration reform that rewards illegal immigration and does not destroy the incentives for more illegal immigration is a dead letter to me and most Americans...   My immigration reform starts with eliminating birth-right citizenship for people whose parents came here illegally.   My immigration reform requires proof of lawful presence here to attend any school, effectively repealing Plyler v. Doe, a Supreme Court case that gives illegal aliens a Constitutional right to a public education...   The third requirement would be that anyone found in the USA illegally after the reform period would be forever banned from obtaining citizenship, the right to work, or even a visa to visit the USA.   Finally, my immigration reform would make it illegal, subject to criminal penalties, for any state or locality to offer sanctuary programs or incentives to illegal aliens.   If a violation is found, that state or locality would lose all federal funding for the year of the violation...   Once complete, we can address what to do with the 20M plus illegal aliens in the United States..."

Obummer's unconstitutional and illegal amnesty for illegal aliens must be defunded NOW
"When [Obummer's DHS] secretary Jeh Johnson testified before the House Homeland Security committee a few days ago he said a short-term funding measure for his agency will be a 'very bad idea', telling congress that such a bill would hold up everything from hiring Secret Service agents to paying for border security.   But it would not, according to Stephen Dinan of The Washington Times, pose a problem for Department of Homeland Security officials who wasted little time in ramping up for [Obummer's] amnesty, by posting 1K job openings the day after his announcement and announcing it already has space for hundreds of employees at a new location in Arlington, Virginia -- an indication that it had laid its plans well before [Obumer's] announcement.   And even though [Obummer] said his policy is temporary, according to Dinan, the USA Citizenship and Immigration Services [USCIS] is hiring the employees for permanent positions, at salaries of up to $157K a year, according to the job postings listed on the official federal jobs web-site.   'USCIS is taking steps to open a new operational center in Crystal City, a neighborhood in Arlington, Virginia, to accommodate about 1K full-time, permanent federal and contract employees in a variety of positions and grade levels.', Dinan reported the agency said in an internal email to employees on Monday.   'The initial work-load will include cases filed as a result of the executive actions on immigration announced on 2014 Nov. 20.'...   Ken Palinkas, head of the labor union that represents USCIS employees said the large scale of the hiring and the new office space suggests to him that the White House had its plans in place for some time ahead of [Obummer's] announcement last month.   'It's so orchestrated it's pathetic.', he said.   Yet, in response to [Obummer's] well-orchestrated plan to move forward with hiring 1K new bureaucrats to process his illegal amnesty paper-work House Republican [losers] are pitching a plan that would fund the DHS through March -- more than enough time for Obama to begin handing out green cards and [Socialist Insecurity cards and Socialist Insecurity Numbers, SINs] unless congress prohibits him from doing so..."

DHS memo suggests even less border and port security
"Only the most naive believe that fines and jail time will ever be imposed on dishonest employers who hire illegal immigrants.   Ditto for those who buy into the beefed-up border security deceit.   Both enforcement measures have been routinely promised and subsequently ignored since the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act.   As for earned citizenship, [Obummer] insists that it would require background checks [not proper background investigations], learning English [some day] and going to the back of the line [but ahead of those with proper pending visa applications] -- pie-in-the-sky nonsense.   Meanwhile, back in the real world, Pima county sheriff Paul Babeu made public a memorandum he received from Department of Homeland Security secretary Jeh Johnson dated November 20, the same day as [Obummer's] White House amnesty announcement.   In the memo, DHS ordered Customs and Border Protection to continue exercising prosecutorial discretion while Immigration and Customs Enforcement is expected to release more criminals under the guise that they're non-violent offenders...   While [Obummer] pledges more border security, he's advising border agents to ignore illegal immigration, limit the numbers of 'orders to appear' and release aliens into the public...   Please go to the CAPS Action Alert page here and call congress to demand that your representatives block [Obummer's] administrative amnesty that preempts U.S. immigration law."

Yuri Sagalov claims pay to some interns is evidence of STEM talent shortage
"I did use the qualifier some here twice, but let me assure you, if you are, say, an MIT student interning at Google, the firm is going to pay you quite handsomely.   But of course, Sagalov has set up a straw man here, a variation of the old 'programmers make more than bus drivers argument'.   As I've often pointed out, the attraction of the H-1B program, at least in Silicon Valley, stems mainly from two factors:   The program supplies them with a YOUNG labor pool, and since younger is generally cheaper, H-1Bs are cheap relative to older (over age 35) U.S. citizens and permanent residents.   Yes, young H-1Bs do also come somewhat cheaper than Americans of comparable quality (verified by, among others, 2 congressionally-commissioned employer surveys), but the real wage savings comes from the young nature of the H-1Bs.   Green card sponsorship provides employers with IMMOBILE labor, which is extremely valuable to the firms.   In fact, this is pitched by immigration attorneys as a major virtue of hiring foreign workers.   So, hiring H-1Bs is indeed more than an issue of simply obtaining talent.   I'd add, as I sometimes do, that another factor is convenience; firms like Sagalov's like just recruiting foreign students from a local university, rather than having to spend genuine effort finding Americans to hire.   Worse, Sagalov's firm, and his comments, follow the pattern so familiar by now in the industry:   His company defines a Senior Software Engineer title as corresponding to only 4 years of experience, so you can see that 35 is way past 'senior'..."

Obummer attempts, again, to weaken Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel
"The animus bordering on hatred felt by [president Barack Hussein Obummer's] inner circle toward prime-minister Benjamin Netanyahu is not exactly a secret.   But it didn't take long for a leak to an Israeli newspaper that is among the PM's most rabid foes to dispel any doubts about the administration's hopes that it could somehow derail his bid for a fourth term.   The report from Barak Ravid, HaAretz's diplomatic correspondent that the White House held a meeting whose purpose was to plan possible future sanctions against Israel to punish it for continuing to build homes for Jews in [Israel], is a shot fired over Netanyahu's bow..."

November jobs... immigrants are the only winners... again
"[It is] the increased availability of low-wage immigrant labor that is suppressing wage growth in this country...   Total employment rose a mere 4K according the Household Survey, a figure totally out of sync with the 300K+ growth reported by the survey of business establishments.   But behind the miniscule gain in total Household employment is a significant acceleration of two trends we have often noted.   Immigrants are gaining ground, while native-born Americans are losing.   In November: Total employment rose by 4K or by less than 0.00%; Native-born American employment fell by 166K or by 0.14%; Foreign-born employment rose by 170K or by 0.66%...   With total employment running at about 147M, every one percentage point gain in employment share translates to 1.47M more workers.   From 2009 February to 2014 November the immigrant share of total employment rose from 14.97% to 17.00% -- a gain of 2.03 percentage points.   Implication: Since the start of the [Obummer regime] as many as 2.98M (2.03 times 1.47M) native-born Americans may have lost jobs due to immigration..."

November jobs: not enough to keep up with Obummer's unconstitutional and illegal amnesties of illegal aliens
"average hourly earnings rose by 9 cents to $24.66, and the average work-week, labor force participation rate and employment-population ratio were little changed at, respectively, 34.6 hours, 62.8% and 59.2%...   From the third quarter of 2007 through the third quarter of 2014, the share of Americans age 25 to 54 with a job declined by 3.1 percentage points, with some states experiencing a decline of 7% or more...   [Obummer's latest unconstitutional and illegal amnesty for illegal aliens] would add 5M newly legalized workers to the existing labor pool that already adds 1M work-authorized legal immigrants annually.   The [Obummer scheme] will further dilute the employment market, depress wages and put American workers at risk of job displacement.   The economy would have to generate more than 15 months of 321K new jobs monthly to off-set the negative employment damage of [Obummer's] amnesty [and close to 15 years at that level to return the USA to full employment].   Please go to the CAPS Action Alert page here to tell Congress to use its power of the purse to defund [president Obummer's] amnesty that pre-empts America's immigration laws and harms U.S. workers."

"Americans can defund [president Barack Hussein Obummer's amnesty [for illegal aliens] by calling their GOP legislators to demand changes in the 2015 budget bill, says Arkansas GOP representative Tom Cotton, who won election to the Senate in November.   'Call your congressman and call your senator.', Cotton told radio host Laura Ingraham.   'I assure you having been in the congress that congressman and senators listen when the people they serve, their bosses, are calling them and asking them to vote in a certain way.', said Cotton, who campaigned against amnesty during his successful campaign against an incumbent Democrat senator.   'In 2007...the Capitol switchboard actually stopped working because so many people called, and asked their senators and congressmen to stop an amnesty bill going through at the time, and it stopped.'..."

displaced US citizen "IT" workers are being silenced, censored
"A major problem with the H-1B debate is the absence of displaced 'IT' workers in news media accounts.   Much of the reporting is one-sided -- and there's a reason for this.   An 'IT' worker who is fired because he or she has been replaced by a foreign, visa-holding employee of an off-shore out-sourcing firm will sign a severance agreement.   This severance agreement will likely include a non-disparagement clause that will make the fired worker extremely cautious about what they say on FB, let alone to the media.   On-the-record interviews with displaced workers are difficult to get.   While a restrictive severance package may be one hand-cuff, some are simply fearful of jeopardizing future job prospects by talking to reporters.   Now silenced, displaced 'IT' workers become invisible and easy to ignore.   This situation has a major impact on how the news media covers the H-1B issue and off-shore out-sourcing issues generally."

there are dishonest people like Gruber all around the USA, using lies and information suppression to implement their agendas
"Recently Americans were shocked by the surfacing of video clearly revealing the blatant arrogance of White House consultant Jonathon Gruber as he described how [ObummerDoesn'tCare] proponents were able to lie to the American people to get the law passed.   'Lack of transparency', he smugly stated, 'is a huge political advantage.'   Gruber went on to pound his chest over the 'very clever' basic [abuse] of the 'lack of economic understanding of the American voter'.   'Stupid', was his favorite word.   The fact is, what Americans actually witnessed in those videos is the way the insiders actually talk to each other behind closed doors and how they really regard the American people.   This is their attitude as they force a complete agenda down our throats to radically change the American system.   And when they get caught with their pants on fire, [Barack Hussein Obummer] and Nancy Pelosi look at reporters with dead-pan faces, saying, 'I don't know who that guy is.'   And these deliberate deceptions are not just connected to the passing of [ObummerDoesn'tCare].   A blatant case in point is our nationwide fight to stop Agenda 21.   We [defenders of individual rights] aren't fortunate enough to have such revealing, dramatic video to instantly shock Americans awake.   But we do have a whole lot of evidence to prove the same tactics are being employed, all the while, the proponents deny it even exists.   Agenda 21?

Illinois legislature voted through unconstitutional bill to make it illegal to record police
"the proposed law would likely not make it illegal to record police interactions 'in public'... The new bill attempts to protect people from surreptitious and improper recording of their conversations without infringing on free-speech rights, its sponsors claim... The bill is designed to scare citizens from recording police interactions, the institute claims, thanks to steeper punishments for recording the private conversations of on-duty police and court officers than private citizens..."

do falling gasoline prices tell us anything about the impact of illegal immigration on consumer prices?
"illegal labor has little or no positive impact on the price of food or just about anything else made with the help of illegal labor.   The national average for a gallon of gas has plunged to $2.69 and the cost of jet fuel has dipped 18% just since September.   Jet fuel is the single biggest operating expense for airlines, representing 27% to 38% of total expenses, depending on the airline.   So airfares must be going down, right? Nope.   Thanks to strong demand and an improving economy, fares are still rising, to the tune of 3.5% so far this year according to the industry trade group Airlines for America.   The airline industry is not an out-lier...   [fuel] prices are roughly twice as big an expense for the airline industry as human labor is to farmers as a percentage of their overall operating expenses...   [Company executives] want to charge the highest prices possible.   Give them access to cheaper labor (cheaper for them, that is, not the [tax-victim]) and they will only pass those savings to you, the consumer, if they have to in order to sell the product."

sheriff Joe Arpaio has filed for injunction to stop Obummer's schemes to stop enforcement of immigration laws
"The timing is crucial, his complaint argues, because the government already is pouring resources into meeting the orders, and the offer of amnesty likely will draw a whole new flood of illegal aliens.   But Department of Justice [DoJ] attorneys Adam Kirschner and Brad Cohen argued to a federal court in Washington, DC, that Christmas is coming, and they need a lot more time.   The attorneys are asking that they be allowed until the second half of January even to submit an initial response to Arpaio's motion for a preliminary injunction [in order to create a fait accompli]...   A filing last week requested a preliminary injunction to protect the nation while the case is in court.   The judge ordered the two sides to submit a time-line for the proceedings, but in Tuesday's submission, Klayman said agreement was impossible.   'The parties have not reached agreement as to the timetable for briefing and hearing plaintiffs' motion for preliminary injunction.', he told the judge.   He noted that local court rules normally would have required a hearing already, but he was willing to have the defendants file their response by Dec. 15, and his follow-up then would be available to the court Dec. 22...   programs and procedures are being changed already to meet [Obummer's and Johnson's] demands.   The president's decision, Klayman wrote, 'orders direct DHS personnel including the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and ICE to immediately suspend enforcement of immigration laws with regard to any who appear to be eligible for the new deferred action programs, even though such persons might not yet be able to apply for formal recognition'.   The instructions also tell law enforcement officials to immediately begin identifying those who could be given the special benefit.   Klayman also argued that the federal government already has leased office space and begun the process of hiring 1K new workers to process the illegals through Obama's [unconstitutional and illegal] amnesty program.   All of those actions would be for nothing if a court rules that the program doesn't meet the Constitution's requirements, he wrote.   'By contrast if the implementation is simply delayed until a court decision, there will be no such harm.', he said.   Another injury would result from a new flood of illegals drawn by the promise of amnesty, he said..."

State Dept. assistant-secretary for Diplomatic Security Greg Starr stonewalled committee investigating attack on US consulate at Benghazi
"Jim Jordan (R-OH)...repeatedly asked the State Department witness, 'Why were we in Benghazi?'   And, repeatedly, the witness dodged the question...   personnel at the Benghazi compound had repeatedly asked for additional security before the attack [but were refused by those in Starr's office].   Jordan pressed on, asking: 'We were in Tripoli (Libya), why did we have to be in Benghazi?   What was so important that we didn't follow (security) standards?'...   the 'fundamental question the American people want to know' was still why the U.S.A. even had a special diplomatic outpost in Benghazi...   Gowdy thanked him for providing a name and later asked Starr if he knew who had denied requests from the Benghazi personnel for a machine gun to place on the outpost roof-top, among other security improvements...   while questioning Todd Keil, who spent 23 years as a special agent with State Department security and was a member of the Best Practices panel...Jordan established: The State Department refused numerous requests for additional security support at the Benghazi facility made by the ambassador Stevens and others.   Instead, the State Department actually reduced the number of security forces in Benghazi.   The State Department also ignored its own safety standards in the months before the attack on Benghazi.   And, the State Department did not follow its own procedure to exempt the Benghazi mission from the safety standards required for all over-seas facilities...   Representative Lynn Westmoreland (R-GA)...asked him what measures had been taken as the security situation at Benghazi increasingly worsened in the weeks prior to the attack, including an explosion that blew a hole in the wall of the mission...   ARB...failed to interview either former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton or her then-chief of staff, Cheryl Mills...   In fact, Jordan noted, Mills was actually getting tipped off as to what was in the report and effectively got to vet it, before it's release...   2 members of the former secretary of state's inner circle supervised the removal of damaging documents from those turned over to the ARB..."

"The most famous practitioner of eugenics on these shores was perhaps Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, whose Birth Control Review frequently cast the National Socialists in a positive light.   It published such articles as 'Eugenic Sterilization: An Urgent Need' by Ernst Ruedin, Hitler's director of sterilization and a founder of the German Society for Racial Hygiene.   Sadly, this doctrine whose birth preceded and informed so much of the Hitlerian horror did not perish with National Socialism, either.   An example is former Colorado governor Richard Lamm, who famously asserted that ill elderly people 'have a duty to die and get out of the way'.   More recently, Ezekiel Emanuel -- brother of Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel and major proponent of [ObummerDoesn'tCare] and other rationing schemes -- has declared 75 to be the optimal age for one to die.   Dr. Emanuel, who was born in 1957, claims that he will not be in line at the euthanasia clinic on his 75th birthday..."

"...Haven't heard of the Triple Frontier? It's a troubling brew of crime, contraband, drug smuggling, and document fraud manufactory and a safe haven to jihadists...   dozens of former Guantanamo detainees have returned to jihad.   In fact, Spain has just announced the indictment of a former Guantanamo detainee, Moroccan Lahcen Ikassrien, on charges of acting as a recruiter for ISIL/ISIS/Daesh/IS/caliphate...   the Pentagon's Guantanamo review board has recommended that Mahmoud Abd Al Aziz Al Mujahid, Osama bin Laden's bodyguard, be released to Yemen, that happy place that was home to firebrand cleric Anwar al Awlaki until a U.S. drone killed him, and where American hostage Luke Somers and his fellow captive, South African Pierre Korkie, were held and killed by al Qaeda operatives...   Perhaps on arrival, he can become roomies with fellow associate Salim Ahmed Hamdan, bin Laden's driver, who was sent there by the United States in 2008..."

a few Republicans are raking in the dough from Obummer's crooked handling of EB-5 program
"The turn-pike, which is controlled by local [Pennsylvania] Republicans, can raise money in any number of ways for its construction needs (moneys to be repaid, ultimately, by tolls).   Typically, this is done by selling bonds to investors via Wall Street, but this does not produce much in the way of benefits for one's friends, as bond placement fees are depressed by competition among the bond firms.   OTOH, there is the EB-5 route.   The turn-pike, as the developer, has selected as its exclusive EB-5 broker the Delaware Valley Regional Center, a for-profit entity closely tied to, but separate from, the Swarthmore Group, which according to the Inquirer is 'a Philadelphia investment-management firm headed by James E. Nevels, a prominent Republican donor and fund-raiser'.   The only way for a foreign investor to get a set of visas by way of this deal is to work with DVRC.   An Examination of Those Fees.   Meanwhile, the all-too-tolerant Department of Homeland Security [DHS] does not even try to regulate the fees that its regional centers, such as DVRC, charge to aliens, so that entity is able to, and does, charge each investor $50K in fees plus another $15K in legal fees...   I called Scottrade's local office here in Arlington and asked what the commission would be if I bought one hundred of the $5K turn-pike bonds, totaling $500K.   The answer was $100!..."

Obummer-Reid-Boehner criminal over-spending bill
"Obama - Boehner spending plan, or 'Cromnibus'...   The 'CRomnibus gives our [Socialist Insecurity] to illegal aliens.   The 'CRomnibus returns to the legalized bribery of pork/ear-marks that Republicans promised to abandon years ago.   The 'CRomnibus further busts the spending caps that Republicans already broke in the Ryan - Murray budget deal.   The 'CRomnibus funds [Obummer's war against] farmers and energy producers by giving $250M more than [Obummer] requested to the EPA.   The 'CRomnibus gives $4M to the DoJ to process the amnesty applications of illegal aliens.   The 'CRomnibus gives millions of dollars for job training and education grants to train illegal aliens to compete with American workers for jobs."

another futile call to remedy the problem of too many people being stuck in post-docs, not enough new tenured/tenure-track principal investigator opportunities
"In this case, those powerful interests are [university executives and administrators] and research [institute executives and administrators], hiring cheap labor, both domestic and foreign.   And yes, the latter typically hold H-1B work visas, and according to one figure, about 60% of the post docs are foreign.   The salary and working conditions tend toward the Dickensian, clearly showing a huge surplus of labor -- and yet congress wants to give all foreign STEM students earning U.S. degrees automatic green cards.   As the article...points out, this is hardly news.   Many national science organizations have noted it for years..."

Vichy Republicans
"The Republican collaborators who forced through congress the hated 'CRomnibus' [criminal over-spending bill] and not only voted with [president Barack Hussein Obummer] to destroy the quality of life for millions of American workers, but used their leadership positions to thwart conservative efforts to stop [Obummer], remind us all too much of the Vichy French government leaders of the World War II Nazi occupation era.   Not only did they drop their rifles without firing a shot and run in the face of the enemy, they then joined the tyranny of the enemy in oppressing the patriots who wanted to keep fighting.   And make no mistake about it; Republicans who joined with [Obummer] to pass the hated 'CRomnibus' [criminal over-spending bill] did join the enemy.   This isn't a polite family disagreement over tactics or obscure House and Senate rules, this is an existential fight to the finish over the direction that this country, and the Republican Party, will take.   Will the Republican Party remain the Party of grassroots conservatives, entrepreneurs and liberty-minded voters, or will it become -- as it seems to be trending -- the Party of Big Business and Big Government?   Will Republican elected officials go to Washington DC to reform government and rein-in spending, or will they go to Washington DC to hold power for power's sake?...   In a government of the insiders, by the insiders and for the insiders, the 'compromise' is never to reduce spending by 10% instead of 20%, or to eliminate 10 wasteful programs instead of 20 -- a Washington DC insider 'compromise' is always to march at a slightly slower pace toward bigger government, national bankruptcy and the loss of liberty."

why is there so little interior [and borders, and ports] immigration enforcement? the Shrub and Obummer regimes have not been interested in doing so
"The first thing to notice is the incredibly long list of ways that people try to beat the immigration law, considerably condensed in the table below.   Aliens, employers, and middlemen of various kinds have devised a plethora of ways to try to violate the law, and some of them are harder to handle than others.   In some cases, the crime is hard to identify; in others, the violators have large lobbies rooting for them; and some violations have no political support.   Further, some of these techniques are much more common than others..."

a few restrained comments about the attempt by bad guys at NYTimes & SPLC to smear Roy Beck of NumbersUSA
"She failed to note Census Bureau projections that immigration-driven population growth could easily double the nation's population before the end of the century, to more than 600M...   posted on the NumbersUSA website a photo of Barbara Jordan, a Texas congresswoman and civil rights leader who was the chairwoman of an immigration commission.   But she failed to note the fact about Jordan that is most salient to the story of Roy Beck.   The recommendations that Jordan presented to congress in 1994 -- a cut in legal immigration and firm action to stop illegal immigration -- are close to what Beck is seeking today...   Beck, who became interested in immigration as an environmental reporter, has written books.   Had she wanted to acknowledge the substance of his work, she might have quoted the review of Beck's _The Case Against Immigration_ that was written by Francis Fukuyama and published in -- the New York Times!   Fukuyama said the book 'fosters serious debate rather than name-calling' and that Beck's arguments 'are presented carefully and dispassionately and deserve serious answers'.   Yes, that review actually appeared in the New York Times.   But, of course, Francis Fukuyama is not a reporter for the Times.   Neither was the reviewer for Foreign Affairs, who wrote that 'as persuasively as anyone he states the case and marshals the evidence for restricting the high levels of legal immigration'."

Texas senator Ted Cruz answered some of his critics, including Charles Krauthammer and George Will, who say he does not understand how the corrupt game is played in DC
"'You know, on some level I'll agree with what they said.   I am not trying to play [by the corrupt rules] of Washington because I think Washington's broken.   I think it's profoundly broken.   And I think the only answer is to change Washington...   Let's take, for example, Uber coming in or Lyft coming into a city.   Whenever that happens, the existing providers fight like cats and dogs.   The taxi commissions have done everything they can to kill Uber and Lyft...   What we're trying to do in the political world is very much the same thing, which is change the means of decision-making, take it out of the smoke-filled rooms, where decision-making is done in Washington between career politicians and lobbyists -- and instead empower the people.   In my view, the only way we can turn this country around is if the American people rise up and hold every one of us accountable...   If they want to come after me, fine.   Knock yourself out.   That is not my concern.   My concern is honoring the oath of office.'"

more about the attempt by bad guys at NYTimes & SPLC to smear Roy Beck of NumbersUSA: what was not reported
"she failed to report what is most important about Jordan for a profile of Beck.   As head of the presidential Commission on Immigration Reform during the Clinton administration, Jordan recommended that legal immigration be reduced and that laws against illegal immigration be enforced.   With those recommendations, Jordan, a civil rights leader and a towering moral authority in American culture and politics, exerted a powerful influence on Roy Beck.   As a matter of fact, as Beck told me when I asked him about the article -- and as he said he told Hirschfeld Davis -- he formed NumbersUSA shortly after Jordan died in 1996 because he wanted to be an advocate for her policies...   'I explain to them that I started NumbersUSA specifically to carry out the recommendations of the Jordan Commission, that I formed the organization a few months after she died.   I always explain that the Jordan Commission is central to what NumbersUSA is, that what we are advocating is not on some ideological fringe.   I don't believe any reporter has ever reported that.   I've thought about it.   I've wondered: Why is that? It's not as if the reporters are part of a conspiracy, where they meet and decide what not to report.   But I think it's interesting.   As a former reporter, I think it's interesting that a group that is primarily working with conservative Republicans started off with someone like Barbara Jordan.   And I've wondered why it doesn't get reported.   I came to the conclusion that it creates a cognitive disconnect and that most reporters, almost regardless of their own ideology, want to compartmentalize everything.   They see immigration as a story of liberals who want more immigration and conservatives who want less.   So when you see an organization like ours, you think it's a conservative organization.   And when you hear that a black civil rights leader had a tremendous influence on us, there is some kind of disconnect, especially when you compare that with what comes out of the SPLC.   Maybe it's some unconscious thing in reporters' minds where they just don't hear it, or they slough it off.   I think that's unfortunate.'...   Maybe the reporters were talking to Roy Beck with their minds closed."

criminal over-spending by federal government
"A 1977 survey revealed that the average congressman spends only 11 minutes a day reading at work.   The results of that survey were so embarrassing that no follow-up has been done in subsequent decades.   There is no evidence that today's representatives are more bookish than their 11-minute-a-day predecessors...   But do congressmen not recognize that they have 'out-Grubered' Gruber by carelessly rubber-stamping a 1600-page Pandora's Box?..."

"In 1964, Ayn Rand wrote that American society was quickly heading toward what she called 'the stage of ultimate inversion', in which 'the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission'.   Rand, who came to America to escape the tyranny of the Soviet Union, saw in mid-20th Century America a country following a similar course as the one she escaped; in which government ruled by 'brute force' and increased its power as it eroded individual rights.   Now, more than three decades after her death, and with the age of the Internet in full swing, Rand's fears of government 'inversion' have become truer than ever.   Last week's bipartisan congressional passage of the FY2015 Intelligence Authorization Act is clear proof of how far we have travelled down the road Rand predicted..."

"For the first step, researchers took 20 volunteers, fed them with the dietary fiber inulin-propionate ester (IPE), and then released them in front of a buffet.   Propionate is produced when dietary fibers breakdown in the gut, but IPE produces much larger quantities than normal.   They told them to eat as much as they wanted while they observed.   Those who had IPE ate 14% less food on average and when their blood was tested they found higher concentrations of the appetite-reducing hormone leptin in their blood.   'These exciting findings could at last open up new ways to manipulate gut microbes to improve health and prevent disease.', Morrison said..."

doing stupid things with Iran: the Obummer regime has obviously decided to go silent on human rights abuses in Iran
"Carter was trying, sincerely if ineffectually, to advance the cause of human rights...   More people lost their freedom during the Carter years than at any time since China fell under Communist rule...   As a result of Biden and Lugar's hamhandedness, thousands were thrown into the Gulag.   And we had to wait another decade for arms control...   When Ronald Reagan entered office, a new direction was signaled...   The KGB took note and they reported to Brezhnev and Andropov, their Kremlin bosses: 'With Reagan, words are deeds!'   That sent a message to Moscow of U.S. determination and Reagan's seriousness of purpose.   When Reagan finally met with Gorbachev, in 1985, he brought a list of dissidents and unjustly imprisoned Russians.   He pressed Gorbachev to release Jewish refusenik Natan Scharansky.   Reagan had worked from the first days of his administration to gain freedom for the Siberian 7, Pentecostal Christians who had taken refuge in the U.S. Embassy in Moscow.   President Reagan always linked human rights to arms control.   And he built up U.S. defenses even as he put in place American Cruise and Pershing missiles.   He publicly condemned Soviet oppression -- of their own people and others.   He reminded Westerners daily of the suppression of religious freedom by the atheist rulers of the USSR...   [Obummer is] doing stupid things.   [Obummer is] giving up the ship.   This administration, for example, is failing to press Tehran on the cruel and brutal imprisonment of Pastor Saeed Abedini, an American.   Thus, they show the mullahs in Tehran they can seize our embassy, imprison our people, murder our Marines and Navy Corpsmen -- and still get away with it..."

another visa mill zapped, but not by DHS... again
"Gwinnett county (GA) Police Department; the lawyer is Richard Samms...   The visa mill, which was called most recently... the New Life Technical Academy on Jimmie Carter Boulevard in Norcross, GA, a suburb of Atlanta...   There is a legitimate institution elsewhere in the Atlanta suburbs called New Life Technical Academy.   One of its former employees, Yessica Jean and her husband, Stanley Jean, used that name, apparently without permission, for their own school, which pitched its services to illegal aliens...   about 800 students paid the couple from $800 to $5K for fake diplomas, some for the GED, and some for certificates for training as medical assistants..."

"Now, she is trying to influence her students.   But her self-declared 'hate' for Republicans has back-fired.   She has exposed the real purpose of her 'educational' pursuits.   The Detroit News reports that Andrea Fischer Newman, a member of the UM Board of Regents, said she found Douglas's column 'extremely troubling and offensive', and that it condoned 'hatred toward an entire segment of individuals in our society based solely on their political views...'   Grant Strobl, head of Young Americans for Freedom at the school, called the Douglas piece 'ugly and full of hatred'..."

leftist anti-rationality
"Conservatives are perpetually puzzled by the left's lack of consistency.   [Leftists] voted for the measure before they voted against it;   they embargoed Cuba, they unembargoed Cuba;   they say that [unconstitutional] give-away programs are necessary for the 'no fault of their own' folks, then they remove the requirement to look for work;   they pay ransom to terrorists, then blame Sony for acceding to terrorists;   and they firmly believe that 'Black Lives Matter' except inside an abortion clinic.   As others have pointed out, the only discernable motif in their policy collage is the demand for more power for the government -- more power for them.   Leftists do not have principles; they have an agenda.   They have wants.   'What do we want? Fill in the blank! When do we want it? Now!', is the infantile cry that goes up everywhere that leftists gather..."

"A transient retail business is defined as a business that 'engages in peddling, canvassing, soliciting or taking of orders, either by sample or otherwise, for any goods, wares or merchandise upon any public street, public alley, public sidewalk or public ground or from house to house within the Borough of Carlisle'...   Margeson said the two businesses may apply for permission to conduct business under this section of the code, but because of the fixed location prohibition, he didn't believe that they would be granted the permit.   The chapter said no transient retail business shall be conducted for any length of time from a fixed location within the municipal limits of the borough..."
So, they're demanding that they go through an additional application process as a "transient" business, but the government will deny them the special permission... because they are NOT transient, but doing business at fixed locations.

sometimes the Obummer regime prefers congressional inaction: That kind of inaction is "decisive"
"I am no lawyer, but I can spot a blatant inconsistency when I see one, and one such has emerged from the Justice Department in a case involving the OPT program, which defines recent foreign college graduates as foreign students without labor market protections and gives employers up to a $10K bonus for hiring the aliens over comparable U.S. workers.   (The bonus comes because the employers are charged no payroll taxes if they hire the aliens, but do pay such taxes if they hire Americans.)   John Miano, my colleague as a CIS fellow, won a preliminary round in this case in the DC federal district court, as I reported earlier...   a brief filed by the Justice Department it says that it is totally appropriate that there are no labor market protections for American workers competing with the OPT workers...   The hidden consistency, on the other hand, is that U.S. workers are hurt by both the White House edict and by the DoJ lawyers..."

"'The Jungle' only scratches the surface of the growing homelessness problem in San Jose and Santa Clara counties.   In 2013 February, shortly after it came into being, the Mercury News reported that the city had an 'estimated 60 encampments'.   The December 3 Times story on its dismantling cited the city's homelessness response manager's statement that 'the capital of Silicon Valley' is, in the paper's words, 'veined by a network of at least 200 other outdoor encampments' -- a tripling in less than 2 years.   The latest estimate of the county's homeless population is 7,600, placing it seventh in the nation...   the number of sheltered homeless has risen by a bit over 2%, while the harder to count population of those without shelter has somehow dropped by 25%."

blacks progress and regress
Town Hall
"...In the late 1800s, depending on the city, 70% to 80% of black households were 2-parent.   In 1925 New York City, 85% of black households were 2-parent.   As late as 1950, only 18% of black households were single-parent.   From 1890 to 1940, a slightly higher percentage of black adults had married than white adults.   In 1940, black illegitimacy was about 14%.   Today it's an entirely different story.   Black illegitimacy is 75%.   Close to 50% of marriage-age blacks never marry.   Close to 70% of black households are female-headed.   If one thinks family structure doesn't matter, consider that the poverty rate among black female-headed families is about 47% but among married families it has been in the single digits for more than 2 decades.   It's not just poverty.   Children raised by single parents are likelier to be physically abused; use drugs; engage in violent, delinquent and criminal behavior; have emotional and behavioral problems; and drop out of school...   Every census from 1890 to 1950 showed that black labor force participation rates were higher than those of whites.   Today it's a mere fraction.   Prior to the mid-1950s, the unemployment rate for black 16- and 17-year-olds was under 10% and less than that of whites..."

contrary to Obummer regime claims, only a tiny fraction of "surge" border-jumpers between 2012 & 2014 are being deported and returned
"An investigative report by a Houston television station [KPRC 2]...   The number of family units arriving illegally was larger than the number of UACs during this time period, although the administration, its allies, and the media typically described the surge as an influx of children.   At least 92% of the family arrivals in this sample of cases were released after apprehension rather than detained in the border area.   Nearly all of those released (5,575 out of 6,093 total families and UACs, or 91%) subsequently failed to appear at their immigration hearings and are now part of the illegal population.   According to these figures, 43% of those family members classified as 'detained' (9 people) also failed to appear for their hearings, suggesting that they actually were released at some point.   Even under the current very generous interpretations of immigration law, only 3% of these illegal aliens were found qualified to stay in the United States (204 out of 6,093 completed cases).   Only 314 of the 6,093 cases completed (5%) were present for their hearing and could actually be removed by authorities after receiving the order from the judge."

Tyrrell, an immigrant from Ireland who as a Secret Service officer broke the plot to steal Abraham Lincoln's body in 1876..."

US visa system is broken: immigration reform should address the millions of able and willing US citizen STEM professionals who are unemployed... or under-employed involuntarily outside of their fields
While illegal immigration -- both barbarian invaders and visa over-stayers -- need to be addressed, the long, drawn-out economic doldrums in the USA raise another, certainly more important question: What can and should the USA do to end the waste of US citizen talent?
 
Let's be clear: Unemployed talent harms the US economy.   It drags it down from both ends -- from the foregone productivity, and from the impoverishment of the affected individuals.
 
And despite the tens of millions of US citizens still looking for full-time, long-term employment, many executives in business and academia are interested only in bodies to shop -- temps, contingent labor, disposables -- and are actively resisting interviewing job-seekers, actively resisting investment in talent relocation (both new-hires and retained employees), and are actively opposing any significant investments in training (again, for both new-hires and retained US citizen employees).
 
At the same time, many firms which turn out intentionally low-quality products, and firms whose business models center around unethical activities, or facilitating unethical activities, are amazed that self-respecting US citizens do not want to aid them in their nefarious deeds.   Why not let firms such as MSFT, IBM, Oracle, SAP, FB, Siemens, and LinkedIn die rather than distort the job markets for their executives' personal benefit?
 
Ending these abuses and waste would boost our economy, creating additional legitimate jobs for US citizens in the process.
 
But meanwhile, many executives and HR personnel, and immigration lawyers they retain, are actively constructing artificial barriers to fabricate pretexts on which to reject all US job applicants.   They are striving mightily, at the wrong aims.   Instead of actively seeking and knocking down barriers to employing able and willing US citizens, they are constructing "applicant management systems" or "candidate management systems" to automatically bury the vast majority of job applications from US citizens where they will never see the light of day, and thus fend off questions about discrimination on the basis of nationality, race, age, sex.
 
And yet there are plenty of possible job candidates who are proficient in scientific, engineering, and technology fields, who are intelligent, creative, and industrious.   And the vast majority of whom have degrees from respectable US universities with much additional study and experience outside of academia... only to be rendered idle and impoverished and/or severely under-employed.   And they're already here... if only employers were willing to move them from one state to another, as they did before the H-1B visa program was hatched.
 
As BLS figures who, unemployment rates in these STEM fields have been running twice to thrice worse than full employment levels for these fields.
 
The unemployment rates for both the novice and those with 15 years or more experience are unusually elevated in the historicla context.   Dozens of academic research efforts, by the PhD-set from several universities and independent institutes, to examine the STEM job markets have shown no signs of talent shortage.   Several have indicated that only one-third to one-half of new STEM grads have been able to land STEM employment over the last 15 years and more.
 
United States employers should put out the welcome mat for US citizen workers with specific scientific, engineering and technical skills genuinely needed here...   but those executives have belligerently refused to do so.
 
The H-1B visa program clearly is undermining the US economy, since millions of able and willing US citizen STEM professionals' talents are being wasted.   If politics don't get in the way, it shouldn't be too difficult to create agreeable reforms for such a program.
 
Meanwhile, the United States of America needs to do more -- much more -- to employ American students and experienced US citizen professionals in scientific, technical and engineering careers.

supremes again erode key check on government power-madness
"Our colleague, Mark Fitzgibbons says in a recent article for The Washington Examiner that Americans have good reason to fear and loathe the latest creative interpretation of the Fourth Amendment bt the Roberts Court because it weakens the rule of law over government.   The Supreme Court's recent 8-1 decision in Heien v. North Carolina says Fitzgibbons 'sadly turns the old slight close enough for government work into Fourth Amendment jurisprudence'.   Briefly, the facts in Heien v. North Carolina are that a North Carolina police officer pulled over Nicholas Heien because one of his car's brake lights was out.   The state's law requires only one light to be working, so the stop was based on a mistake of law.   After Heien was pulled over, he gave consent for the officer to search his car..."

feral cats spreading parasite to deer in Ohio
"'...make absolutely certain that any deer meat planned for consumption is thoroughly and properly cooked.', said Gregory Ballash of the Department of Veterinary Preventive Medicine at Ohio State University and lead author of the study.   200 free-roaming cats and 444 white-tailed deer were tested for the parasite Toxoplasma gondii, which causes toxoplasmosis.   Almost 60% (261) of the deer showed evidence of infection and more than 65% (164) of the studied cats tested positive.   According to the report, approximately 14% [about one-seventh] of the United States' human population is infected with toxoplasmosis by the age of 40, with an estimated 1M new cases diagnosed each year.   Cats, both domestic and wild (such as bobcats), play a critical role in the spread of toxoplasmosis because they serve as the definitive hosts, fulfilling the requirements needed for the parasite to sexually reproduce and complete its life cycle.   Domestic cats are often infected at less than one year of age.   Once infected, they can contaminate the environment by shedding hundreds of millions of infectious eggs (called 'oocysts') via their feces...   Similar estimates for white-tailed deer infections have been found in Iowa (53.5%-64.2%), Pennsylvania (60%), Mississippi (46.5%), and Ohio (44%), suggesting widespread environmental contamination...   The parasite is believed to infect about one-third of the world's population and one study has shown a decline in working memory in infected humans over age 65."

"Greg Wendt and Lisa Wendt of San Francisco, CA...   Wendt's donations are on the unusual side.   He donated to [Obummer's] senate campaign and to Ted Cruz's senate campaign.   He donated to Barbara Feinstein and Kelly Ayotte.   He donated to Act Blue and Freedom First.   And he is a steady McCain donor...   Greg Maffei is from Colorado and while he is a steadier Republican donor (though he also donated to Democrats like Maria Cantwell, Salazar and Jay Rockerfeller) and he's also a pal of Colorado gun control governor Hickenlooper.   And responsible for $100K of McCain's anti-Tea Party war chest.   That was his biggest donation of the campaign cycle..."

Ted Cruz seems to have a good agenda, background, popular support for president in 2016
"A son of a Cuban immigrant, Cruz's upbringing and historical perspective is an important factor in his current thinking.   It's hard to imagine a speech where Cruz doesn't reflect and draw on his family's experience and desire to seek freedom and liberty.   Escaping an oppressive regime, his family epitomizes the American dream.   His father, Rafael, labored to put food on the table, became a born again Christian and is now a minister.   Ted's mother, Eleanor, was one of 17 children, was the first to go to college where she majored in mathematics and was an early entrant as a woman in the field of computer science..."

stunning data on the outrageously excessive average compensation of municipal employees in California
"Some highlights: The average full-time compensation for employees of 55 North Bay cities was $130,172 in 2013, with thousands [paid] more than $200K a year and hundreds more earning more than $50K in over-time alone.   Such compensation is significantly higher than that of peers in the private sector.   2,006 North Bay municipal employees earned at least $200K.   Walter Shuld, San Pablo Police Chief, earned $440,983.   Malcolm E. Miller, Oakland Police Officer, earned $436,256.   George R. Silva, Hayward Battalion Chief, earned $428,457.   488 North Bay municipal employees earned at least $50,000 in over-time alone.   AB, Richmond Fire Captain, made $279,105 in overtime and $508,893 in total compensation.   MP, Richmond Fire Captain, made $241,578 in overtime and $450,942 in total compensation.   SE, Vallejo Police Corporal, made $221,073 in over-time and $425,660 in total compensation."

1. 153,794 H-1B visas were issued via consular offices in Fiscal Year 2013, according to the State Department (and additional grants of H-1B status were made by other processes). 135,991 in FY2012. Those numbers Graham is throwing around are irrelevant.
2. The professorial set who have examined indicators of skill levels of H-1B grantees have estimated that only between 2% and 8% of them have above-average skills, intelligence, knowledge, etc.
3. The 2014 May report by Karen Zeigler & Steven A. Camarota pointed out that there is no evidence of STEM skills shortage. Michael S. Teitelbaum, in multiple studies from 1996 through 2014 July, found no evidence of STEM skills shortage, and some evidence of a surplus of STEM grads. The 2013 April study by Hal Salzman, Daniel Kuehn & B. Lindsay Lowell repeated that only between one-third and one-half of new US citizen STEM grads are finding STEM employment.

Paul Graham: H-1Bs to undermine your career, but not mine
"'He was already aware of a few -- investors tended to be biased against older founders, for instance.   The cut-off in investors' heads is 32., Graham says.   After 32, they start to be a little skeptical.   And Graham knew that he had his own biases...   But after ranking every Y.C. company by its valuation, Graham discovered a more significant correlation.   You have to go far down the list to find a CEO with a strong foreign accent., Graham told me.   Alarmingly far down -- like 100th place.   I asked him to clarify.   You can sound like you're from Russia., he said, in the voice of an evil Soviet henchman.   It's just fine, as long as everyone can understand you.'...   The reality is that billionaires just want code-fodder."

"Now that [Barack Hussein Obummer] is ruling by decree, he seems more like a king than a president.   Maybe it is time we change the way we address him.   'Your Majesty' may be a little too much, but perhaps 'Your Royal Glibness' might be appropriate.   It tells us a lot about academia that the president of Smith College quickly apologized for saying, 'All lives matter', after being criticized by those who are pushing the slogan, 'Black lives matter'.   If science [biomedical engineering] could cross breed a jellyfish with a parrot, it could create academic administrators..."

vile Obummer regime repeatedly says Israel is "unacceptable"
Patriot Factor
"In an article explaining why North Korea is not a state sponsor of terrorism, Foreign Policy calls for the U.S.A. to do away with this old classification in favor of a new designation: the 'Unacceptables List'.   'This category would cover all foreign governments whose actions U.S. officials routinely deride as unacceptable, but then do very little in response to prevent or deter those actions from reoccurring.', the article states before going on provide a few examples.   'This would provide diplomatically interesting results.   For example, using the State Department search engine, the top 10 countries for whom unacceptable was most often used in conjunction with since the start of the [Obummer regime]: Syria (147), Iran (118), North Korea (115), Israel (87), Pakistan (83), Russia (78), Egypt (77), China (74), Afghanistan (66), and Iraq (63).'   Hmm, notice how our 'strongest ally and greatest friend' is sandwiched nicely between a communist dictatorship and a safe haven for terrorists?
