congress plans to re-stock Air Force and Navy

Tomahawk -- before a new cruise missile is put into production...   persistent complaints from military officials that the Air Force does not fly a sufficient number of remotely piloted aircraft (RPA).   The committee increased spending on the MQ-9 Reaper to over $1G for 24 strike drones on top of the 29 requested...   310K [Air Force personnel]..."

yes, you actually can... change
"The central question animating [Carol S. Dweck's] work is: Why do some students give up when they encounter difficulty, whereas others who are not more skilled continue to strive and learn.   Part of the answer lies in the explanations lay in individuals' beliefs about why they failed.   Those who believe that they failed because of a lack of ability and that ability is fixed develop a state of helplessness.   Mastery-oriented kids, however, think that intelligence is malleable and can be developed through education and hard work.   The students with a growth mind-set feel that learning is a more important goal in school than high grades...   Confronted with set-backs, such as a poor test grade, those with a growth mind-set, whose focus is on the learning itself, resolve to study harder or look for new strategies to master the material.   Those who have a fixed mind-set may decide never to take that subject again..."

executives are favoring foreign workers over US citizens: Disney's employees must endure the indignity of training their replacements
"Considering the fact that a record 92M Americans are out of the work-force, one would think employing our own 'best and brightest' might be a better place to start, let alone importing workers and condemning even more Americans to unending joblessness.   The latest case of the unfortunate, growing number of examples comes from 'the Happiest Place on Earth' in Orlando, FL...   In Columbia, MO, local television station KMIZ reported last month that Republican senator Charles Grassley of Iowa was investigating allegations that IBM is engaging in the firing of American workers and replacing them with H1-B visa holders.   A local ABC affiliate in Sacramento, CA, the state capital, is investigating just how many Americans have lost California state jobs to foreign HB-1 visa holders.   In response to The New York Times report on the Disney allegations, Democratic senator Bill Nelson of Florida called on the Department of Homeland Security [DHS] to investigate 'potential misuses' of the program [which Nelson's office have been repeatedly told about oveer the last 15 years].   Answers are not hard to find.   Ron Hira, a professor of public policy at Rochester Institute of Technology spoke with NPR about the issue.   'For the past decade, he's been studying how consulting firms use temporary work visas to help American companies cut costs.   He says they use the visas to supply cheaper workers here, but also to smooth the transfer of American jobs to information-technology centers over-seas', said the radio network.   'What these firms have done is exploit the loop-holes in the H-1B program to bring in on-site workers to learn the jobs [of] the Americans to then ship it back off-shore.', [professor] Hira told NPR..."
153,794 new/initial H-1B visas were actually issued through consular offices in Fiscal Year 2013, and 162,239 new/initial H-1B visas were issued in FY2014.   Over 2,589,226 H-1B visas have been issued from FY1990 to FY2014 according to the State Department annual reports.

"...But there's something about a [bright, knowledgeable] 40ish man at the happiest place on Earth losing his 6-figure salary to a 20-something from India who will do the job for a lot less that is particularly jarring.   The whole image disrupts the idea that Disney is one of the nation's most muscular job creators.   The company is the largest employer in Central Florida with 74K people.   And CEO Bob Iger serves on [president Obummer's] Export Council, which [disingenuously claims to be] focused on expanding job opportunities for Americans..."

with North American illegal aliens, distance does not make the heart grow fonder
"While working with DHS enforcement data for FY2010, I noticed a pattern: Among North American illegals, the number of borders one has to cross using land routes has a nice negative correlation with the numbers of deportable aliens located by authorities...   The concept 'deportable aliens located' should not be confused with deportations, a term that applies to a smaller population; many deportable aliens are granted voluntary departure and would not be included in the numbers of deportations.   Others were simply released..."

Jon Feere _Center for Immigration Studies_
media still claiming Obummer's unconstitutional and illegal DACA amnesties are only for people "brought" here
"...In reality, DACA isn't just for 'children' and the program doesn't require that illegal aliens prove they were brought here.   Advocates of the program frame it as such because they want to make beneficiaries sound as sympathetic as possible, thereby making the program sound more justifiable.   But DACA benefits people who will start turning 34 this month.   And people who knowingly and willingly entered the country on their own volition are, in fact, eligible (provided they claim they entered before reaching 16)...   The White House could have limited the scope of DACA to people who actually were 'brought' here at very young ages, but it chose not to.   The DACA program also benefitted a man who is currently behind bars for allegedly murdering four people, including a contestant in the 'America's Next Top Model', reality show.   Using the logic of some journalists, one could describe DACA as a program 'for alleged murderers' -- after all, some recipients are alleged murderers! [And gangsters!]..."

from big mass-charges to tiny moves, the thrust is always for more immigrants
"The Green Card.   This document should offer as many protections against misuse as possible, but DHS's U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has just announced that in many cases it does not need the carrier's signature.   If the person is an infant or lacks the physical ability to sign anything, that's totally appropriate.   But USCIS has just taken a backward step, as it declares in this bulletin: Since 2015 February we have been waiving the signature requirement for people entering the U.S.A. for the first time as lawful permanent residents after obtaining an immigrant visa abroad from a U.S. Embassy or consulate.   There is no explanation offered regarding the missing signature, but the new rule must make it easier, less expensive, or both to manufacture the green cards.   It is easy to outline scenarios in which the lack of a signature compromises security.   For example, a carrier of the document is stopped at one of those Border Patrol highway stations just north of the Mexican border.   The agent, suspecting something, as a preliminary, non-electronic maneuver could ask the alien to sign his or her name.   If the alien cannot do so, because of illiteracy, or signs it in a different way, that could lead to further questions.   Fee Waiver and the [SIN].   In the case above, the administration has dropped an earlier, more secure requirement.   It has done the same thing with the I-912, the application for a fee waiver.   (A list of the forms for which fees may be waived (pdf).)   I believe that in some cases USCIS fees should be waived, but the exploding amount of money lost to the government by increasingly widespread use of these waivers is, or should be, a major problem.   As I reported last month, DHS lost about $200M in 2012 in this way and the figure is probably much higher now, but that's a statistic that DHS suppresses.   Recently, I found that until 2012 aliens filing the fee-waiver form had to record their [Socialist Insecurity Number (SIN)], but that the current I-912 has dropped this feature..."

Tzipi Hotovely defending Israel's right to exist
"The land of Israel belongs to the Jewish people, she declared, and their claim to it is as old as the Bible.   'It's important to say this' when making Israel's case before the world, and not to focus solely on Israel's security interests.   Of course security is a profound concern, Hotovely observed, but arguments grounded in justice, morality, and deep historical rights are stronger.   She even quoted the medieval Jewish sage Rashi, who wrote that Genesis opens with God's creation of the world to preempt any subsequent charge that the Jewish claim to the land was without merit...   Though modern Zionism didn't arise as a political movement until the 1800s, the land of Israel has always been at the core of Jews' national consciousness.   Even during 19 centuries of exile, Jewish life in Israel ([it was the Roman invaders who stretched the name 'Palestine', a coastal region to Israel's SW along the Mediterranean which historically ran from between Ashqelon and Gaza down to the Sinai]) never ceased.   In all those years, no other people ever claimed the land as their country, or built it into their own nation-state..."

US citizens should not be punished for depositing or withdrawing their own money
"...The law that requires the reporting was first passed as the [Orwellian-double-speak named] Bank Secrecy Act in 1970 and later amended by the USA Patriot Act.   The $10K threshold for reporting has remained constant despite the lessened value of a dollar.   Assuming that the withdrawal of $10K in 1970 was so aberrant that it warranted some type of government notification, the same cannot be said today.   (At an annual inflation rate of 4.15%, that amount today is worth $62,284.35.)   Congress should end the requirement for reporting cash transactions from one's own account to the government.   Barring such a move, at a minimum, it must raise the threshold."

"NEETs refer to young people who are 'neither employed nor in education or training'.   There are roughly 39M NEETs in 33 of the world's advanced industrial countries, according to a new report from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).   I have written before about the problems of U.S. millennials -- young adults born after 1980.   They are the victims of poor timing and indifferent public policies.   Coming of age in a harsh economy, they find it hard to get work (especially work for which they're qualified).   By the millions, they're living with parents and postponing marriage, children and home-buying.   Many are burdened with heavy student loans.   Those with jobs subsidize their usually better-off elders through [Socialist Insecurity] and Medicare pay-roll taxes...   In each of Britain, France and the United States, NEETs were 16% of the 15-to-29-year-old population in 2013, reports the OECD.   In South Korea and Ireland, their share was 19%; in Italy, Spain and Greece it was slightly more than 25%.   As disturbing, a quarter of those with jobs had temporary work..."

"First, it under-scores that the [Red Chinese] are waging against us what they call unrestricted warfare...   In addition to cyber-enabled intelligence collection and recruitment, these include currency manipulation and other forms of economic warfare and taking steps to control the strategic South China Sea.   Second, Americans should not be required to give the government immense amounts of personal data -- from our children's DNA and educational performance to our health histories..."

Trans-Pacific Partnership and world government -- our perspective
"from the perspective of our modest suburban DC office building the continued erosion of American sovereignty -- which has accelerated to a dizzying pace during the [Barack Hussein Obummer] presidency -- can only be stopped in one place: the House Republican Conference.   As our friend Alabama's principled limited government constitutional conservative Jeff Sessions recently observed, '...the United States is a country—not an economy.   And a country's job is to protect its citizens—whether from military attacks, or from unfair trade policies that threaten the economic well-being of its own people.'   What's more says Sessions, 'Under fast-track, congress transfers its authority to the executive and agrees to give up several of its most basic powers.   These concessions include: the power to write legislation, the power to amend legislation, the power to fully consider legislation on the floor, the power to keep debate open until Senate cloture is invoked, and the constitutional requirement that treaties receive a two-thirds vote.'...   In addition to appointing officials (and Supreme Court Justices) who believe 'international law' can and should trump the U.S. Constitution, [corrupt Obummer regime] officials have also embraced a whole series of international treaties that undermine American sovereignty.   The model for these pernicious attacks on American sovereignty is the Law of the Sea Treaty [and the similar Moon Treaty] which transfers jurisdiction over the high seas to a new United Nations entity (the Seabed Authority) that would be self-governing without an American veto power over its actions.   By imposing taxes on mineral production it will provide an endless stream of revenue for all kinds of international mischief and corruption, mostly at the expense of American companies as Jeffrey B. Gayner, Chairman of Americans for Sovereignty noted in remarks to CPAC back in 2010..."

dangerous cyber-warfare: no regime today plays the industrial espionage game more skillfully and persistently than Red China
"...The newest [Red Chinese] fighter, the J-31, bears an uncanny resemblance to our latest stealth jet, the F-35.   The reason: [Red Chinese] espionage is like a gigantic vacuum cleaner, trolling not only for our secret stealth technology but also ready to pilfer anything that might convey strategic advantages.   In late 2011, computers at the U.S. Chamber of [Crony Socialists] inexplicably began printing Chinese characters.   Security experts later determined that the [Red Chinese] penetration was so thorough that hackers controlled not only the chamber's computers but also their fax machines and even their thermostats.   Their probable take: U.S. trade policies and industrial secrets...   2013 commission on the loss of U.S. intellectual property, chaired by Jon Huntsman, former U.S. ambassador to [Red China], and admiral Dennis Blair, former head of the U.S. Pacific Command.   Both men are highly respected public servants who know [Red China] well.   They compiled shocking evidence that [Red China] was annually stealing $300G in U.S. intellectual property -- 70% of the global total and representing millions of lost jobs..."
Ken Allard's only mistake is in believing that cyberwar with Red China, and industrial espionage and plain old-fashioned spying by them can be avoided. It has been going on for several decades. The issue is how effectively we can defend ourselves, and whether those in the US government have the will to defend ourselves.

expert: Disney rewards productive employees for record profits by replacing them with cheap, young, pliant foreign guest-workers with questionable ethics
"The contractor Disney hired to replace the laid off employees, HCL, according to Hira, was the sixth largest recipient of H-1B visas in 2013 with 1,713 visas.   'Like most top H-1B employers, government data reveal that HCL uses the program for cheap, temporary labor rather than as bridge to permanent immigration.   In fiscal 2013 it applied for only 128 green cards, compared to its 1,713 new H-1B workers, or 7% of the H-1Bs it hired that year (because H-1B visas are valid for up to 6 years [up to 3 years initially, another 3 year renewal, then an unlimited number of year-to-year extensions], HCL's total H-1B work-force is much larger, but it does not disclose this information)...   According to government data acquired through a Freedom of Information Act request, the median wage HCL paid those 1,713 H-1B workers was $61,984, which is essentially the entry level wage for an information technology (IT) worker, and more importantly, a 25% discount on the median wage of $82,710 for Computer Systems Analysts in the United States.   Moreover, it's almost certain that Disney's 25 percent H-1B discount is an understatement, because many of the laid off Disney workers I spoke with were earning approximately $100K, and had been employed there for many years, so they had also earned and accumulated benefits packages based on their seniority.'... [All perfectly legal under the current 'prevaling wage' definitions and requirements.]"

TSA incentives, H-1B visas jeopardize American STEM professionals
"The poor performance of Transportation Security Administration baggage checkers is inevitable for this repetitive-type job...   What is needed to make a difference in this type of setting is to create an incentive to make individuals more aware.   For example, how much closer might workers search if they knew there would be fake FBI weapons periodically planted that carried a $1K bonus if found? I've always found that one gets better performance when there is a positive incentive involved and more-interested employees...   H-1B visas jeopardize American IT workers.   After Saturday's article associating Disney CEO Robert Iger with a leadership role in seeking more H-1B visas ('Nelson wants Disney visa program examined'), the Sentinel was quick to run on its web-site that afternoon a blog post praising Iger for his role in making Disney a more profitable company.   However, the connection between the 2 was not acknowledged.   Companies such as Disney have been arguing for years that they have had difficulty in obtaining employees with necessary technical skills to run the business.   So they have sought and been granted access to foreign nationals who enter the country through the H-1B visa program with these 'missing' skills to work in American companies.   But the [
153,794 new/initial H-1B visas were issued through consular offices in FY2013, and 162,239 new/initial H-1B visas issued in FY2014; the over 2,589,226 H-1B visas FY1990 to FY2014 according to the State Department annual reports is still insufficient to please them]; they want to increase that number.   As the recent Disney episode has shown, this is particularly troublesome for information-technology [and science and engineering] careers.   With the decline in American manufacturing positions, the 'IT' job path remains a primary way for Americans to enter and stay in the upper middle class.   But many of these positions [have long been] under attack with H-1B replacements.   And why? I maintain that the top 1-percenters, such as Iger, use the H-1B program to enrich their positions, reduce the middle class to lower economic status and foster class conflicts.   Rather than praise for Iger (and people like him), he should be vilified for his hypocritical stance of claiming to need more technically skilled people from abroad, and at same time firing Americans who are doing the job with excellent results."

50 hospitals in USA mark up prices 1000% (ie. 10x) for some patients
"50 hospitals in the United States are charging uninsured consumers more than 10 times the actual cost of patient care, according to research published Monday. All but one of the facilities are owned by for-profit entities and the largest number of hospitals -- 20 -- are in Florida. For the most part, researchers said, the hospitals with the highest markups are not in pricey neighborhoods or big cities, where the market might explain the higher prices."
There is some very important ambiguity on display, here.   Are people with cash-in-hand being charged 10 times as much as the "insured"?   Or is it the people who simply cannot pay, i.e. where the hospital is relying on government footing part of the costs?

propaganda has been driving USA leftward down the abyss for over a century; here's how we can defend ourselves
"Many on the right seem to believe that being right, in the sense of being logically correct, is sufficient to win, and that if we conservatives can logically demonstrate that our candidates are of higher character and our ideas are logically sound then voters will agree that conservative policies would be better for our country, and somehow victory will fall into our deserving hands like a ripe fruit from a tree.   The left almost never relies on logic to support their ideas and policies, which are almost all based on feelings and emotions -- and their candidates win by appealing to those great motivators of human conduct.   This is how, for example, Dems/Reds/leftists can claim to support equal rights for women and homosexuals at the same time they actively work to bring millions of Muslim immigrants to America, who engage in female genital mutilation and would execute homosexuals by throwing them off buildings [or stoning], as they do in ISIL/ISIS/Daesh/IS/caliphate, if they could.   The logic of not allowing immigrants in who oppose everything liberty under the Constitution stands for is completely eclipsed by the emotional appeal of helping the allegedly oppressed people from the war-torn Middle East.   And this is also why political correctness, 'hate' speech labels and laws and other attempts to limit free expression and First Amendment liberty is essential to the left's agenda...   'The totalitarian mind is like the schizophrenic individual; it has a contempt for reality.   Think for a moment of Lysenko's theory and its denial of the influence of heredity.   The totalitarian mind does not observe and verify its impressions of reality [i.e. use the scientific method]; it dictates to reality how it shall behave, it compels reality to conform to its fantasies.'..."

Disney black-listed Florida workers from tech jobs, replacing them with foreign guest-workers
Rachel Stoltzfoos: Daily Caller
"The American tech workers Disney laid off in January after forcing them to train their foreign replacements were put on a 'black list' that disqualified them from hire by any contractor that works with Disney, e-mails obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation between one of the laid off workers and a recruiting firm show. The worker, who asked to remain anonymous because he is waiting on legal advice, learned of the black list when he sent his resume and performance review to a local 'IT' recruiting firm that wanted to place him with a company contracting with Disney. He had plenty of past experience doing similar work for Disney contractors, and had received the highest possible rating on his performance review, so he thought he would be a top candidate for the job. But in an e-mail sent last week and obtained by [Daily Caller], the recruiting firm informed him that he is out of the running because he is on a black list, since he is one of the hundreds of tech workers Disney displaced in January... 'Any Disney employee who leaves Disney or has a contract end (after being on 18 Months) unless it is a unique circumstance, has to wait a certain amount of time before they can be eligible for re-hire.', the recruiter said in the e-mail. 'Usually that time frame is a year to a year and a half. In this situation it was indeed a year.'   [Meanwhile, many firms, and many employment agencies who work with STEM professionals refuse to consider or refer anyone who has been out of work for 2 months or more.]   A spokeswoman for Disney denied the current existence of a black list that includes those workers 'impacted by the reorganization'...   Florida senator Marco Rubio and former Florida governor Jeb Bush are both proponents of dramatically expanding the [H-1B visa] program...   Nearly 75% of Americans with STEM degrees are not working in STEM Fields, according to Census data, and only 3.8M Americans with STEM degrees actually hold STEM jobs..."

"According to the National Assessment of Educational Progress, sometimes called the Nation's Report Card, nationally, most black 12th-graders' test scores are either basic or below basic in reading, writing, math and science.   'Below basic' is the score received when a student is unable to demonstrate even partial mastery of knowledge and skills fundamental for proficient work at his grade level.   'Basic' indicates only partial mastery.   Put another way, the average black 12th-grader has the academic achievement level of the average white seventh- or eighth-grader.   In some cities, there's even a larger achievement gap.   Black students and their parents believe that their high-school diplomas are equivalent to those received by whites.   Therefore, differences in employment or college admittance outcomes are likely to be seen as racial discrimination.   The fact of business is that if seventh- or eighth-graders of any race compete with 12th-graders of any race on civil service exams or the SAT, one should not be surprised by the outcome..."

"'Between 2000 and 2013', researchers at the National Educational Policy Center reported, 'TFA's yearly operating expenditures increased 1,930% -- from $10M to $193.5M.   Of those expenditures, TFA annual reports show that about a third of operating costs are borne by the public [tax-victims].' Individual TFA chapters have raked in millions in federal [AmeriCorpse] grants, supported by leaders in both political parties.   Large corporations (including $100M donor WM), philanthropic foundations, and individuals have pitched in nearly $500M in tax-deductible 'charitable' private donations...   Teach for America spends copious amounts on advertising, lobbying and public relations...but its record on producing benefits for students is mixed...   But those concerns pale in comparison to the divisive, grievance-mongering activities of the group's increasingly radicalized officials and alumni...   In Durham, North Carolina, two 'Teach for America' officials led costly traffic blockades over the Ferguson, MO, shooting last December.   North Carolina blogger A.P. Dillon identified protester Rachel Schankula as a TFA executive coach and program director dating back to 2001.   Protester Robert Terrell Stephens, cited by police for attempting to incite a riot, is currently TFA's director of 'alumni teacher leadership' and also served as a 'community organizer' for [Obummer against America].   Deray McKesson, described by TFA as a 'protestor'...   He briefly taught sixth-grade math for the program before graduating to full-time racial rabble-rousing...   This week, McKesson scurried to McKinney, Texas, along with the National of Islam, New Black Panther Party, and assorted rent-a-mob professionals, to turn a pool party fight into an international incident...   When a government-funded outfit abandons education as its mission in favor of social agitation, it's time to cut off the [tax-victim] pipe-line."

corrupt senators push for uniformly lax standards for "made in the USA" labels
"The [NOT] Reinforcing American-Made Products Act of 2015 is sponsored by Senators Angus King (I-ME), Susan Collins (R-ME), Mike Lee (R-UT), and Deb Fischer (R-NB).   The bill would give the federal government control over country-of-origin labels rather than the states.   'It is critical to do everything that we can to protect the intent of this standard, which allows for products to be labeled Made in the USA even if a small piece, such as a screw or a shoelace [or 90% of the rest], is sourced from a foreign country.', senator Collins said in a press release.   This common sense legislation will ensure a uniform standard across the nation and avoid unnecessary and costly hardships for companies who choose to support American jobs rather than ship them over-seas.'   'The Made in USA label carries a great deal of importance and influence and many companies strive to boast that their products meet the country's rigorous standard.', according to a statement by senator Lee.   'Without weakening the standard [wink wink nudge nudge], my colleagues and I hope to make use of the label less complicated, thus supporting American manufacturing jobs, limiting frivolous law-suits, and strengthening the U.S. economy.'   Increasing American manufacturing is a bipartisan goal.   According to a National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) report, 77% of Americans fear losing manufacturing jobs to other countries.   Last month, CNSNews.com reported that manufacturing jobs in the United States have declined by 37% since they peaked in 1979, according to data published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics [BLS].   There are now 7.2M fewer manufacturing jobs in the U.S.A.   The proposed congressional legislation would allow the 'Made in America' label to be used on a product if a 'substantial part' of it is 'of domestic origin'.   It was filed in response to a California state law which only allows 'Made in USA' labels to be placed on items that are 100% produced in the United States."
Why not be honest?   Why not label something assembled in the USA from parts and material imported from Red China, Singapore, Malaysia, etc. as "assembled in the USA; parts and materials 80% from Red China, 5% from Singapore, 4% from Malaysia..."?   The answer, of course, is that the weasels don't want to be honest, don't want customers in the USA or UK or whereverk to know the states, provinces and countries of origin of what appears on retail shelves.

"Adam was just 15 years old and was fighting the battle of his young life.   Like way too many youngsters in the world, stricken with the dreaded disease of cancer, he showed courage beyond measure as he trooped like a warrior through his agonizing chemo and radiation treatments.   Losing his hair, bloated, suffering and weakened to the point where he could barely walk, he knew deep down inside that all the powerful love and positive daily gush of encouragement from family, friends and doctors was a façade and that the inevitable end was near.   Adam was a hunter, a fisherman and a gungho outdoorsman, so before his time was up he wanted one more hunt to take with him to the big spirit campfire in the sky.   In my estimation, there is only one disease worse than cancer, and that would be the self-inflicted curse of political correctness.   And if you want to know just how soulless, mindless and heartless those that have chosen this curse can be, I give you the Make A Wish Foundation, which denies dying children's last wish for legal hunting trips..."

"The video now more accurately states: 'In 1947, the UN created a plan to split [Israel] into two countries, one for Jews and one for the Arab people.'   Unfortunately, though, the amended text, though now technically accurate, is incomplete because it does not inform readers that Gaza[=Palestine], and the rest of [the Levant], were a British Mandate at the time of the 1947 partition plan.   That is essential history for CNN's viewers to understand.   In fact, the segment about 'The history of Gaza' does not at all mention Britain's nearly 3-decades long presence in the territory, a serious flaw...   Israel unilaterally pulled its forces out of Gaza[=Palestine] in 2005 (not 2006, as reported), before Hamas gained control of the Gaza Strip[=Palestine].   Again, in response to CAMERA's request, the on-line video was amended and now correctly reports: 'Israel pulled its forces out of Gaza[=Palestine] in 2005.   In 2006, Hamas, a group that wants to destroy Israel, and listed by the United States and European Union and others as a terrorist group, won a landslide victory in Palestinian legislative elections'..."

what makes the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) so bad
"The Guardian Reports: A decade in the making, the controversial Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is reaching its climax and as Congress hotly debates the biggest trade deal in a generation, its backers have turned on the cash spigot in the hopes of getting it passed.   'We're very much in the end-game.', US trade representative Michael Froman told reporters over the weekend at a meeting of the 21-member Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum on the resort island of Boracay.   His comments came days after TPP passed another crucial vote in the senate.   That vote, to give [Barack Hussein Obummer] the authority to speed the bill through congress, comes as the president's own supporters, senior economists and a host of activists have lobbied against a pact they argue will favor big business but harm US jobs, fail to secure better conditions for workers over-seas and undermine free speech on-line...   How about this doubling the amnesty [for illegal aliens] thing?...   Republicans are about to make a huge mistake.   They are moving to pass the Trans-Pacific Partnership fast track legislation favored by [Obummer].   [Obummer] must be laughing his ass off at how easy it is to fool the morons in the senate.   You see, there is a clause in the agreement with Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, and VietNam that allows those countries to send workers into this country at will, much like the agreement that's causing so much havoc in the EU countries.   Basically it would open our borders up to unlimited immigration. To make matters worse, and something the average citizen may not realize is that the treaty actually trumps US laws [because US presidents conressmen have already repeatedly caved in to similar boards such as the WTO]..."

"I'm impressed by the coolness and steadiness of our media in suppressing any news about immigration.   It's as if they've built a triple-layer fence with border guards around immigration topics.   And guess what?   Their fence is working!   How many thousands of news stories have there been on Ferguson, ISIL/ISIS/Daesh/IS/caliphate, Chris Christie's 'Bridgegate' or men becoming women?   But the media will never tell you about Mexicans gang-raping a lesbian in Richmond, California, an Indian immigrant in San Francisco importing 12-year-old girls he bought from their parents for sex, or 3 children being beheaded by Mexicans in Baltimore.   Don't Americans have a right to know about the cultures flooding into our country?   This isn't a natural transformation.   It is purely the result of government policy.   But our media don't care to discuss the issue.   In fact, they get mad whenever Americans find out what they're doing with immigration.   When Americans do think about immigration, they're against it.   In polls earlier this year, more Americans had a favorable opinion of North Korea than wanted to increase immigration.   That's why the media's approach to immigration is to never talk about it.   Three times in the last decade, Democrats and Republicans conspired to grant illegal aliens amnesty.   All 3 times, the American people rose up in blind rage and shut it down.   The only way they were tipped off to the proposed amnesties was through the hard work of about 3 bloggers, 4 talk-radio hosts and the Drudge Report..."

"...I'm told that tracking a single individual 24/7 takes up to 30 agents.   As shocking as this may be to many, it doesn't seem overly high, given the need for three shifts to maintain close physical surveillance and concurrently track the subject's telephonic and on-line activities.   But with the large number of terrorists and sympathizers abroad in the land, there just aren't enough FBI agents nationwide to do that for everyone, and there never will be.   And though they have force multipliers in their Joint Terrorism Task Forces, those resources are also finite...   The resolve -- and the speed -- of the Canadian government in Ansari's case has been remarkable.   Just a few days ago, it was reported that he will be deported within the month.   Proceedings from arrest to a final appellate adjudication by Canada's Immigration and Refugee Board took a bit longer than 4 months...   Nor is Ansari's case the only one moving through Canada's immigration and appellate review bureaucracy with due speed.   Jahanzeb Malik, another Pakistani, who was charged with plotting to blow up American diplomatic facilities in Canada, has also been ordered deported on national security grounds.   Our Canadian friends seem to have learned the important lesson that deportation can be a viable alternative in cases involving terror and national security.   Is it a perfect solution?   No.   But it's far preferable to a perpetual game of playing chicken with would-be jihadists, trying to catch them just at the cusp of the act, but before anyone really gets hurt..."

Obummer loves private schools... but only for himself, his family, and those of a few privileged friends

"[Barack Hussein Obummer ii], for his own education, never set foot in a public school.   When he was 10 years of age, his mother shipped him back from Indonesia to his grand-parents in Hawaii so that young Barack could get a first-class American education.   He entered Punahou, the expensive and most prestigious prep school in the islands.   From there, despite his admittedly indifferent grades, [Obummer] was admitted to Occidental, an elite private college in Los Angeles.   He spent two years there, after which he transferred to Columbia University, one of the private Ivy League schools.   After Columbia, Obama attended Harvard Law, another private Ivy League school.   What about Michelle, then Michelle Robinson?   Doesn't she often brag that she attended public schools?   But her public school cheerleading requires an asterisk.   True, Michelle attended a public high school.   But it was Chicago's first magnet school, and admission was a selective and highly competitive process.   Michelle spent close to three hours each day on a bus to escape her subpar local public school.   So Michelle, in essence, attended an exclusive high school, an option available to her because of her proactive, pro-education parents and her willingness to sacrifice the time to go to and from this superior school...   Sidwell Friends...   Polls show 80% of inner-city parents want vouchers.   In Philadelphia, 44% of public-school teachers with school-age children send their kids to a private school.   In Chicago, it's 39%.   Nationwide, about 11% of all parents enroll their children in private schools; only 6% of black parents do so..."

Ashton Carter's remarks suggest an Obummer policy shift on Red China; Red Chinese general's visit protested; State cyberfraud warning
Washington DC Times
"...Paul Heer, who for years held the influential post of national intelligence officer for East Asia, retired recently, a spokesman for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence [DNI] said.   From his position as the most senior intelligence official on [Red China], Mr. Heer was known for a steadfast bias that sought to play down the various threats posed by [Red China] in favor of more conciliatory views.   His influence also is said to have extended to personnel appointments within the CIA's analytical section, which critics say resulted in 'groupthink' on [Red China].   A second major personnel change was the departure last week of the White House's senior [Red China] specialist, Evan Medeiros, who left after a reported dispute with White House National Security Adviser Susan E. Rice.   Ms. Rice has a reputation as a prickly manager known for swearing profusely at subordinates.   Mr. Medeiros was regarded by critics as among the most [pro-Red China] policy-makers in the White House's highly centralized foreign policy and national security power structure...   Amid all the controversies of recent actions from Beijing, a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee is criticizing the Pentagon for hosting [Red China's] top general.   People's Liberation Army general Fan Changlong, vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, the ultimate military authority within the communist system, on Monday visited the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan in San Diego, and then stopped at Boeing Company in Seattle -- despite the fact that [Red Chinese] military hackers have carried out what U.S. officials say were major cyber-attacks against U.S. defense firms in the past...   Rick Fisher, a China affairs analyst with the International Assessment and Strategy Center, noted that [Red China] frequently down-grades military ties with [Washington DC] to express anger over U.S. arms sales to Taiwan.   'Now [Washington DC] has plenty cause to downgrade these ties over [Red China's] invasion of the South China Sea, [arms] proliferation and hacking.', Mr. Fisher said.   '[Red China] is invading the South China Sea and is at cyberwar with the world, but general Fan gets generous intelligence visits to an aircraft carrier and Boeing.   This is very wrong.'   The State Department is warning American embassies and companies over-seas that cybercriminals are using fake social media sites to pose as U.S. ambassadors who then offer ambassadorships to the United Nations for a fee..."

how many of your senators and representatives belong in jail for fraud?

House voted against truth in labeling; that's NOT COOL
Mary Clare Jalonick: My Way
"Under threat of trade retaliation from Canada and Mexico, the House has voted to to repeal a law requiring country-of-origin labels on packages of beef, pork and poultry.   The World Trade Organization rejected a U.S. appeal last month, ruling the labels that say where animals were born, raised and slaughtered are discriminatory against the 2 U.S. border countries.   Both have said they plan to ask the WTO for permission to impose billions of dollars in tariffs on American goods.   The House voted 300-131 to repeal labels that tell consumers what countries the meat is from -- for example, 'born in Canada, raised and slaughtered in the United States' or 'born, raised and slaughtered in the United States'.   The WTO ruled against the labels last year.   The [corrupt Obummer regime] has already revised the labels once to try to comply with previous WTO rulings.   Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has said it's up to congress to change the law to [counter] retaliation from the 2 countries...   Representative Marcy Kaptur (D-OH), said repeal would be premature, adding, 'Our people deserve a right to know where their food is produced and where it comes from.'..."

establishing accountability at DHS
"federal law provides for disciplinary sanctions against Department of State consular officers ("conoffs") who screw up in particular ways during the visa vetting and issuing process.   The staffer wondered why there were no similar provisions for Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officers and agents working the spectrum of immigration benefits-granting and enforcement.   The provision the staffer was referring to is embedded in Public Law 105-236, the Foreign Relations Authorization Act of 1994-95.   Section 140(c) requires conoffs to certify in writing that they have checked alien applicants against all applicable lookout systems and that no basis exists in any system to believe the alien is excludable; it further says that if the conoff fails to do so, a record will be made of the failure and adversely affect performance evaluations...   What has also become painfully obvious during the course of this administration's two terms is that, where DHS and its subordinate agencies are concerned, such a law would also have to encompass leaders up to the highest levels of the department, given their propensity to meddle in cases, reverse benefits denials to achieve political or personal aims, or order inappropriate releases of criminal aliens from detention and the public welfare be damned.   With this in mind, we created a draft DHS accountability bill.   This language is, of course, only one of many ways to skin the cat..."

fast track authority/trade promotion authority is bribery as usual in DC

"Free trade deals can [theoretically] permit Americans to earn higher wages by exporting more goods and services that require highly skilled workers and R&D -- like pharmaceuticals and software -- [only if they require open competition and honest trade, not if they allow less obvious barriers and dishonesty].   Even workers displaced by imports [might be able to] find better jobs if exports grew as much as imports and instigated faster growth with more emphasis on spending for skills-focused education...   [Unfortunately, the record of the last 25 years and more suggest the results of such agreements are not so rosy.]...   Imports from South Korea are up $3.6G, U.S. exports are down marginally and the U.S. trade deficit with the Asian nation has swelled to $5G.   That free trade deal alone has killed about 25K American jobs—mostly in high paying manufacturing activities—and added to downward pressures on wages and worsened income inequality.   President Clinton negotiated a complex bilateral deal to permit [Red China's] entry into the World Trade Organization [WTO, which just cheated Americans, again], but American companies like GM, GE and MSFT still must manufacture, form joint-ventures with local companies and undertake product development in the Middle Kingdom, and American intellectual property still gets ripped off...   [Executives of] U.S. multi-nationals, like GE and IBM, would still profit from the TPP by moving production to Asia to advantage labor and other resources made cheaper by manipulated currencies but ordinary working Americans would face more unfairly advantaged foreign competitors, unemployment and even lower wages.   As the president has framed the TPP negotiations, it is simply a bad deal for ordinary Americans."

phony "jobs boom"
Washington DC Times
"In 1983, after a severe recession when unemployment climbed to more than 10% at one point, the Reagan economy created 1.1M jobs just in September. That's a jobs boom. But this isn't. Not when 'there are still more than 8.6M workers without jobs who want them', says the Business Insider web site [and we're running about 30M below historical full employment proportions]..."

we need to develop wisdom -- both individually and culturally
"Wisdom is like a peak performance.   It's arguably the highest state of knowledge and its development.   As a vital source of social capital, don't we under-value it today at our peril?   Wisdom is hard to define succinctly, in part because it's not one trait so much as the blending of a number of traits.   For me, wisdom might be best understood as the use of reason to make and encourage good decisions.   Researchers Paul Baltes and Jacqui Smith describe everyday wisdom as 'good judgment and advice about important but uncertain matters of life'..."

Mark Levin: Obummer regime is in full cover-up mode over Red Chinese hacking (video, transcript)
"'The [Obummer regime] is in full cover-up mode as it always is.   It's in full cover-up mode, it's in full propaganda mode, as it is whether it's [ObummerDoesn'tCare], as it is whether it's illegal immigration [and legal immigration], as it is whether it's the Freedom of Information Act, the nukes that the IslamoNazis in Tehran are getting -- full cover-up mode.', Levin stated...   'But this is huge.   This is an act of war.   I say it over and over again: this is an act of war by the communist police state in China...   you've all been hacked by the Red Chinese.   And...the federal government, failed to put in place the necessary, the effective tools to prevent it and to alert them to it in a timely manner.   And I don't want to hear anymore that they don't have enough money.   They waste over $120G a year [the rest of the government wastes and abuses more like $1T/year].   Now: the rest of us.   You need to understand that the Internal Revenue Service has an enormous amount of information on we the people.   Bank accounts, credit card information, family information, charitable information, you name it.   More than that.   Under [ObummerDoesn'tCare], the federal government is centralizing data information on the most personal aspects of your health.   And I can assure you that a government that can't create a web-site, can't protect the data...'"
