"All this history vanished from memory, as if it had never happened, as the Western intelligentia of the Cold War era repeated Neville Chamberlain's oft-reiterated emphasis on 'personal contact' between leaders of opposing nations by celebrating 'summit meeting' after 'summit meeting' between American and Soviet leaders, christening the after-glow of thse meetings as 'the spirit of Geneva', 'the spirit of Camp David', and of other sites of similar meetings and pacts.   It was as if the causes of war were hostile emotions that could be defused by a better understanding between peoples, or misundertandings between governments that could be cleared up by meetings of opposing heads of state.   But the desire of A to ruin B is not an 'issue' that can be resolved amicably around a conference table." --- Thomas Sowell 2010 _Intellectuals & Society_ pg257 (citing Neville Chamberlain 1939, 2005 _In Search of Peace_ pp34, 40, 120, 209, 216, 230, 240, 242, 250, 271)

Americans are listening to Trump truth
"What got him the attention were the words he spoke about illegal aliens in this country, the state of our immigration laws, the virtually non-existent border with Mexico and the fact -- yes, fact -- that illegal aliens are responsible for much crime in this country.   He said many illegals are drug dealers and rapists.   What there is left of local talk radio in the San Francisco area reeks of [leftists] at a loss for how to describe the people who support Donald Trump and what he said about illegal aliens..."

USA borders are not safe, not secure
"The 'safe' statistics are based off an out-dated 1930s model called UCR (Uniform Crime Report) that the FBI is trying to push out of operation because of the many holes it has.   'So when agencies switch to the (National Incident Based Reporting System), it may seem like crime within their region has increased by that perception of an increase is due to the greater level of reporting specificity in NIBRS data compared to that for summary data.', the FBI announced last year when they kicked off their NIBRS in an effort to add transparency to the obscure data game.   In the border city of El Paso, the local newspaper El Paso Times wrote extensively about the city being ranked the safest large city in the U.S. for the fourth year in a row.   The reporting backing up that article is based on a listing by CQ Press and the authors of that report based their listing on the out-dated UCR report.   The old system known as the Uniform Crime Report or UCR, since its implementation on 1930 January, has been run by the FBI and the stats were seen in the past as the gold standard in tracking some crimes for almost a century...   kidnappings... drug trafficking offenses, human trafficking, extortion, racketeering and other activities that have become synonymous with Mexican drug cartel activity..."
Even through the 1980s, many police departments did not conscientiously record and retain and report UCR data -- even though it was aimed at gaiing statistics on only the worst crimes it was considered to be additional, extraneous paper-work of little value -- though they have been getting better about it all along.   I expect NCIBR to follow the same pattern.

"[ObummerDoesn'tCare] required Americans to turn over their health records to the government, [Communist Corpse] forces them to turn over their children's education records and [idiot meters] installed on their homes reveal real-time water and energy usage to [government and] government-regulated utilities [and people who resisted installation of idiot meters were jailed].   With all that data being collected on every American, now the government wants something else.   It wants to track your driving habits.   On July 1, Oregon became the first U.S. state to roll out a 'vehicle miles traveled' tax, or VMT.   Oregon's program, WND has learned, will serve as a global model.   It is being closely watched by other states and by Congress as they search for an alternative to the sales taxes drivers pay on each gallon of gas.   Germany and several other industrialized countries are also experimenting with the concept.   How does it work? Think of it as a smart meter for your car.   The more you drive, as tabulated by the GPS in your car, the more you pay.   And the government would set the rate.   Oregon is charging 1.5 cents per mile as the introductory rate for drivers who opt into the voluntary program..."

"['Damn the torpedoes!   Four bells.   Captain Drayton, go ahead!   Jouett, full speed!'] was an approach fortunately justified by events during the Battle of Mobile Bay, but as a strategy for managing a nation's economy it is folly.   [Obummer's] mission to destroy America's economy is complete.   The damage he has done is irreversible.   The dollar is history.   The American economy is going down, and soon.   The posh commentators say the collapse will be gradual rather than sudden.   But few are now predicting there will not be collapse at all.   Here are just some of the pointers.   First and foremost, U.S. [government] public debt is $18.3T.   By the time [Barack Hussein Obummer] leaves the White House late next year, he will have doubled it in a single 'presidency'.   On top of that, Uncle Sam has unfunded liabilities of at least $100T -- [ObummerDoesn'tCare], Medicare, Medicaid, Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, [Socialist Insecurity]..."

Dodd-Frank and CFPB are blows against protection of consumers
"...One of the most obvious is the [Obummer regime's] gargantuan effort to 'protect us' from the evils of success and money.   The Dodd-Frank Act was mischaracterized as an effort to regulate Wall Street and big banks.   Senator Elizabeth Warren and her cronies at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) created a blizzard of new paperwork, burying us all with confusing and duplicative regulations.   Each of these forms, rules and restrictions is intent on protecting Americans from ourselves and the evils of the access to capital -- whether for mortgages, entrepreneurs or simply paying unexpected bills.   This is an example of [possibly] good intentions [or more likely political fakery] but a not-so-good outcome..."

"CIS's report, authored by Jessica Vaughan, reveals that 63% of the 8,145 released criminal immigrants -- in 276 jurisdictions from 2014 January 1 to 2014 August 31 -- had 'serious prior criminal records' and a fourth had a prior felony charge or conviction.   5,132 were previously convicted or charged with a crime or were labeled a public safety concern.   Of these, 2,984 had a prior felony conviction or charge;   1,909 had a prior misdemeanor conviction or charge related to violence, assault, sexual abuse, DUI, weapons, or drug distribution or trafficking; and   239 had 3 or more other misdemeanor convictions.   According to the report, 1,867 of those release were arrested 4,300 times again -- on some 7,491 charges -- within that 8-month timeframe.   The report notes US ICE took custody of 40% of the recidivists but as of the time of the report, 60% remained at large..."

what Trump, Walker, Huckabee, Cruz... did not say, but should have
"The case Donald Trump and every Republican candidate have failed to make is that unrestricted immigration increases the poverty levels of native-born Americans and bars growth of the middle class.   Consider these gleanings from the Department of Homeland Security [DHS], the Bureau of Labor Statistics [BLS], and others:   1.   As of 2000, 'unauthorized' immigrants amounted to 8.5M, and is just under 12M today (DHS).   2.   The annual cost 'in outlays for services and benefits to illegal aliens and their families' is about $113G (Federation for American Immigration Reform).   3.   As of 2013, there were 41.3M immigrants in the US, and 19M, or 46%, reported Hispanic or Latino origins.   'Immigrants' [in this particular case, but not generally] are defined as naturalized citizens, lawful permanent residents, refugees and asylees, those on temporary visas, and the 'unauthorized' (DHS & Migration Policy Institute).   4.   Hispanic-Latinos make up over 48% of the foreign-born labor force, and over 40% have less than a HS diploma, while less than 10% of native Blacks fall into that category.   More than 75% of the Hispanic-Latinos are in their prime earning years, between the ages of 25 and 54 (BLS).   5.   As of 2012, foreign-born Hispanic-Latinos earned over $100 less than their native counterparts, a fact suggesting foreign-born persons are willing to work the same jobs for less money (BLS).   6.   Compared to native-born Blacks, foreign-born Hispanic-Latinos have 4-5 times the presence in construction and maintenance jobs, and occupy a over a fourth of management and professional jobs.   Similarly, again compared to native-born Blacks, they occupy a third of sales and office jobs, and about 60% of service, production, and transportation positions (BLS).   7.   According to Chapman & Bernstein in 2003, 'poverty rates fell faster for immigrants than for natives' (Economic Policy Institute).   8.   BLS says that the employment to population ratio has shrunk from 64.4% in 2001 to 59.3% in 2015.   Are many more millions unemployed, retired, or on welfare?   9.   Hourly earnings of production and non-supervisory employees rose, cumulatively, 24% from 2001 to 2008, but only 17% from 2008 to 2015 (BLS)."

illegal alien accused of kidnapping and raping a 13-year-old girl
Katie McHugh: Breitbart
A 23-year-old illegal immigrant, Aurelio Hernandez-Gomez, was arrested and charged with kidnapping and sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl who went missing from her Florida home.   The Van Buren county sheriff's office in southwestern Michigan said Gomez is from Chiapas, Mexico, but was in the United States illegally.   The girl had been reported missing to the Polk county sheriff's office in Florida nearly a week ago, the Associated Press reported...   The arrest comes as growing voter angst over the porous borders has given presidential hopeful Donald Trump a boost in recent polls.   On Saturday, he told a packed FreedomFest crowd in Phoenix, 'We have to take back the heart of our country.'   He went on, speaking of illegal immigration, the Washington Post reported: 'These are people that shouldn't be in our country.   They flow in like water.'"

"...'There are visa programs available for them, like H-2A.', said Joe Guzzardi, national media director of Californians for Population Stabilization.   'I know the agricultural industry says it's cumbersome and impossible to work with, but I could say it's cumbersome to file my federal income tax returns...   You are talking about big corporations that are saying it's just too cumbersome [and it doesn't even require a proper background investigation of visa applicants].'"

So, the illegal alien invaders know where the CBP people are; the CBP knows where they're invading, but they're refusing to repel them at the border.   DHS knows where fencing is most needed, but they're refusing to build it.   This is lawless, anti-constitutional, oath-breaking ObummerLand.

socialism, RIP: tottering European economies prove again the Keynesian (and neo-Keynesian) model is a failure
"A few years ago, the prestigious economic publication, _Journal of Economic Literature_, dubbed the period from 1980 to 2005 'the age of Milton Friedman'.   Harvard University economist Andrei Schleifer described this era of greater reliance on free markets and privatization, as arguably the period of greatest economic advance for mankind in world history.   It would be hard to argue against that.   As freedom and free markets were on the march, more than 1G people worldwide, mostly in [Red China] and India, moved out of poverty.   Tens of trillions of dollars of new wealth were created worldwide.   But the last decade could be described as the come-back of socialism.   In response to the financial crisis, nations foolheartedly turned to central governments to steer them out of crisis.   Government debt, spending and regulatory activity soared all across Europe and in the United States.   The Keynesian model that government welfare spending as a 'stimulus' came storming back in vogue -- nowhere more so than in the USA.   Many countries, including Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal and France -- as well as the [United States of America] -- experimented with quasi-socialist governments.   Now the bitter price is being paid..."

Bernie Sanders
"Because for many years the only TV station I could get in my corner of New Hampshire was Channel 3 Vermont (with its excellent local news show anchored by the late and much missed Marselis Parsons), I've been watching Bernie Sanders since he was Mayor of Burlington.   His rise from mayor to congressman to senator embodies what one might call the Ben&Jerrification of a once great and rock-ribbed Republican state.   A New York Jew with a very urban accent, Bernie started in the latte enclave of Chittenden county, expanded to other semi-flat-landered quartiers of the state, but eventually conquered the plaid-clad hold-out of the North-East Kingdom.   He did all this as an 'independent socialist' without any party machine.   So he's not just an attractive gadfly but an extremely well organized one.   Which is why a man who is largely unknown to the national media is pulling the largest crowds of this campaign -- 10K in Wisconsin, 8K in Maine.   And he's being very positive -- it's all about Bernie, very little about Hillary.   He would be the oldest man ever elected president and 83 years old at the end of two terms - which we won't have to worry about because the entire country will have slid off the cliff long before then.   But he's enthusing the base, and any base wants to be enthused.   Hillary, by contrast, is in trouble not because she's a sleazy, corrupt, cronyist, money-laundering, Saud-kissing liar.   Democrats have a strong stomach and boundless tolerance for all of that and wouldn't care were it not for the fact that she's a dud and a bore.   A 'Hillary rally' is a contradiction in terms: the thin, vetted crowd leave more demoralized and depressed than when they went in..."

"Helicopter parents are famous for micro-managing their children's affairs.   There are two kinds.   One kind indulges children to the point of near imbecility.   No demands are ever placed, no chores required.   The parents see their role as obedient servant, concierge and above all, banker.   The children eventually become wards of the family estate.   The other kind pushes their offspring to excel in every nook and cranny of the American reward system.   The goal post is a high-paying job, typically in finance or tech.   Such children become what Yale educator William Deresiewicz calls 'excellent sheep' in his book of the same name..."

"Should a resolution disapproving the agreement be passed, [Obummer] is expected to veto it.   [Because of the GOP losership's duplicity in ramming through TPA] 34 votes in the senate would be enough to uphold the veto.   Cotton said the tens of billions of dollars that may be released to Iran when the [treaty] is implemented will be used to support terrorists in the region and Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), 'which has been in the vanguard of Iran's campaign of terror for 35 years.   [The nuclear agreement] will do nothing to address the fact that Iran already holds hostage four Americans and that they're continuing to destabilize the Middle East.', he added, in reference to pastor Saeed Abedini, former U.S. Marine Amir Hekmati, retired FBI agent Bob Levinson, and Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian..."

"...I'm writing this early in the morning, 2 hours before we hit the road in Rawlins, Wyoming.   We're returning home from our RV caravan from CA to Kirkland, Illinois and back.   When my wife and I told others about our 4K mile trek through fly-over country with my son and his wife, his in-laws, our four grandkids, and my sister with her family of five, we received two basic responses: 'Why would you do that?' and 'What a memory-making adventure!'   There's history to our decision to hit the road as a family.   27 years ago, my parents invited their kids and families to take the same trip.   They led the way in their large Winnebago RV, and we followed in our Dodge Caravans and tents.   We visited the Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, the Badlands, and Mt. Rushmore.   We took a raft trip down the Snake River rapids and a never-ending side-trip to the 'Wonderland Cave'.   But it was the time together that mattered most.   The journey was a vehicle to make our family bond even stronger..."

Marco Rubio doggedly continues his jihad against USA's middle class STEM professionals: MSFT dumping another 7,800 US citizen STEM professionals
"...ComputerWorld [published by IDG] notes that during a speech in Chicago last week, Rubio emphasized the false narrative that a lack of skilled American workers is the cause of these massive lay-offs, using the phrase 'skills gap' as his hook; a code phrase which is also employed by MSFT, Southern California Edison and other companies that have laid-off American workers and replaced them with cheaper foreign guest-workers.   In reality, says Nazarian, there is a surplus, not shortage, of skilled U.S. workers and not enough STEM jobs to accommodate these citizens.   11 senators, including Rubio's fellow senator from Florida Democrat Bill Nelson [who have known about such abuses for more than a decade], have for an investigation of the obvious abuses of the H-1B program by companies such as Disney, but Rubio has so far declined to join them.   Breitbart's Nazarian quotes a skeptical congressional aide saying, 'Mr. Rubio's staff says they don't want to investigate Disney because they do not trust [Obummer] to handle the H-1B program.   But if that is true, then how do they explain why Mr. Rubio is pushing to triple the number of H-1B visas given to [Obummer] to hand out?   If Mr. Rubio didn't trust [Obummer] with H-1Bs wouldn't he be pushing to suspend the program -- rather than joining Corporate America’s crusade to triple it?'   Of course Rubio's support for expanding the H-1B visa program that Disney is apparently abusing probably has nothing to do with the fact that H1-B visa expansion is endorsed by Disney CEO Bob Iger, who serves on the board of the Partnership for the New American Economy, arguably the largest immigration lobbying group in the nation in terms of its reach.   PNAE has strongly endorsed H-1B increases and legislation to that effect.   Disney has laid off hundreds of American workers, forcing them to train their H-1B visa-holding replacements.   A New York Times report detailed the situation at Disney and other companies where positions are outsourced to companies that hire foreign workers who come to the United States on H-1B visas.   That particular visa is often described as a way to employ foreign workers when companies can't find enough skilled Americans to do the work.   But that's a lie.   In reality, says Beth Kassab of The Orlando Sentinel, companies have come to view workers on these visas like generic drugs -- just as effective, but a lot cheaper.   It's all about profit, says Ron Hira of the Economic Policy Institute and who testified before congress in March about the ramifications of the visa program.   Hira said he made a Freedom of Information Act request for the wages of the employees of the [cross-border bodyshops] used by Disney.   The median was about $62K.   But he says he spoke to a laid-off Disney employee who was making about $100K.   'H-1B guest workers are cheaper than American workers and don't have much bargaining power, and any company would be foolish not to take advantage of this highly lucrative business model that has been inadvertently created by 'ongress and multiple presidential administrations', writes Hira, who recently published a book on outsourcing and also teaches at Howard University.   Professor Hira is being much too polite or is just plain naïve about how congress works -- congress didn’t 'inadvertently' create this highly lucrative business model -- it was lobbied into it and Marco Rubio just voted to expand it, no doubt at the bidding of Disney and other beneficiaries.   As senator Jeff Sessions noted in his post fast track vote statement, 'This econometarian ideology holds that if a company can increase its bottom line -- [whether ethically or unethically,] whether by in-sourcing foreign workers or [off-shoring] production -- then it's always a win, never a down-side.   President Obummer], and allies in congress, have won this fast-track vote.   But, in exchange, they may find that they are losing something far greater: the trust of the American people.   Americans have a fundamental, decent, and just demand: that the people they elect defend their interests.   And every issue to come before us in the coming months will have to pass this test: does this strengthen, or weaken, the position of the everyday, loyal American citizen?'   Some 250 Orlando-based Disney workers were not only let go and replaced by cheaper (and younger) foreign workers -- they were also required to train their foreign worker replacements.   'I just couldn't believe they could fly people in to sit at our desks and take over our jobs exactly.', one former worker, who wasn't named and is now unemployed, told The New York Times.   'It was so humiliating to train somebody else to take over your job.   I still can't grasp it.'   Neither, apparently, can Marco Rubio."

Scott Walker's unique selling proposition (USP)
"...Walker's speech had none of the conservative fire of Ted Cruz's passionate announcement, or the rambling populism of Donald Trump's, or the pedantic lethargy of [Yebbie Booosh's].   Rather it was reflective of the governor himself -- focused, rather than passionate, yet hitting all of the right conservative themes.   And one of the most important themes -- perhaps the most important theme -- had nothing to do with conservative policy or his vision for the future of America.   It was, 'My record shows that I know how to fight and win.'   'I know how to fight and win' is what marketers call Scott Walker's 'unique selling proposition' or USP and it is the most compelling argument for his candidacy.   Entrepreneur.com defines USP as, 'The factor or consideration presented by a seller as the reason that one product or service is different from and better than that of the competition.'   And in a field of 16 to 20 candidates, almost all of whom will claim to be 'conservatives', especially 'fiscal conservatives', Walker has hit upon the one factor that consumers (Republican voters) are desperate for and that distinguishes him from all of the others: fighting for a conservative agenda and winning.   By selecting 'I know how to fight and win' as his USP Walker has also gone straight at his federal office-holding opponents, such as Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio..."

Mark Levin: immigration numbers we often hear are lies
"Levin, whose new book Plunder and Deceit will be published next month, told host and Breitbart News executive-chairman Stephen K. Bannon in a wide-ranging interview that conservatives 'cannot accept' in this election cycle any candidate who 'just wants to get along, show that they can manage' America's decline.   'We want to elect the most conservative person we can, not [someone] who's going to support [Communist Corpse], who's going to tell us we have to figure out how to get around the base.', Levin said, in reference to [Yebbie Booosh's] remarks about the need to 'lose the primary to win the general' election.   Levin, who is one of the intellectual leaders of the conservative movement, said conservatives need a nominee who 'believes in American sovereignty and talks about the Constitution'.   He said there are only 4 or 5 of those candidates in the field, and 'those are the guys I'm going to promote as time goes on'...   In the STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) fields, Levin mentioned that studies have found that for every two students who gets a STEM degree, only one is hired in a STEM job.   He noted that another study has found that 32% of computer science graduates who are not entering the 'information technology' ('IT') work-force say it is because 'IT' jobs are not available, while 53% say they found 'other job opportunities'.   That is why Levin said it is a lie when Silicon Valley companies lobby congress for more H-1b visas and claim that they need more 'importation of people from other countries'...   'We are literally forcing out American citizens [from both ends of the economic and jobs spectrum, and age ranges].', Levin said...   'We need to start making our voices heard everywhere -- Hollywood, the media, the class-room.', Levin emphasized.   'They are going to have to put up with us whether they like it or not.'"

"The 1783 Treaty of Paris ended the war between the colonies and Great Britain.   Its first article declared the 13 colonies 'to be free, sovereign and independent states'.   These 13 sovereign nations came together in 1787 as principals and created the federal government as their agent.   Principals have always held the right to fire agents.   IOW, states held a right to withdraw from the pact -- secede.   During the 1787 Constitutional Convention, a proposal was made that would allow the federal government to suppress a seceding state.   James Madison rejected it, saying, 'A union of the states containing such an ingredient seemed to provide for its own destruction.   The use of force against a state would look more like a declaration of war than an infliction of punishment and would probably be considered by the party attacked as a dissolution of all previous compacts by which it might be bound.'   In fact, the ratification documents of Virginia, New York and Rhode Island explicitly said they held the right to resume powers delegated should the federal government become abusive of those powers.   The Constitution never would have been ratified if states thought they could not regain their sovereignty -- in a word, secede..."

Bible of the American Revolution: among rarest of books
"On 1782 Sept. 12, Congress approved of Robert Aitken's printing of the Bible.   Called 'the Bible of the Revolution', it was the first English-language Bible printed in America and the only Bible ever authorized by an act of Congress...   Robert Aitken's _Bible of the Revolution_ is one of the rarest books.   In 1940, the reverend Edwin A.R. Rumball-Petre located 28 copies in institutions in America and abroad, and 22 in private collections.   Copies of the _Bible of the Revolution_ are in the possession of the American Bible Society's Museum of Biblical Art in New York; Houston Baptist University's Dunham Bible Museum; and Hobby Lobby's Green family which is planning on opening a museum in Washington, DC to display the Green collection -- the world's largest private collection of rare biblical texts and artifacts..."

top 5 tasks for a GOP president... if you're really serious
"...So, GOPers, listen up if you truly wish to win and end this anti-American insanity.   It is not time to speak softly and carry a big stick.   It is time to speak loud, clear and passionately and use that big stick to smash down hard on the bully pulpit like you mean it, declaring emphatically that we are not going to take it anymore from the community organizer gone mad or his Democrat successor that will continue and even increase this bizarre ruination of the greatest country humankind has ever known.   Job 1: Annihilate anybody and everybody who publicly declares hate or danger to America, Americans or our allies.   Unleash the greatest military might upon them with a fury that is inescapable.   No more playing 'containment' games.   Wipe them out and send a clear message to the whole world that America will never again act like a weakling that doesn’t care.   Equal to that responsibility is the end of government spending like a gang of drunken pigs.   Our debt is a crime and everyone participating in it criminal.   If anyone actually cares that America should once again be that shining city on the hill, it's time to act like it and stop the gluttony, the waste, the fraud, the deceit, the insane run-away pork and the numbnut spending beyond our means.   We the people have to be accountable, so do our elected employees.   Next, end the scourge of bribing Americans and illegal invaders to be blood-sucking, non-productive leaches riding on the backs of hard-working, sacrificing American families.   End welfare and all the vote bribes and thereby end the rewards for 'giving up looking for work' and 'jobs Americans aren't willing to perform'.   The current welfare scam is phenomenally anti-American...   Secure the borders for God's sake, and for the sake of a safe, excellent American America.   Invaders must return home or face painful, extremely uncomfortable punishing jail time.   Legal good, illegal bad.   Know it, enforce it...

only 3 out of 20 candidates for president are message carriers
"One of the most powerful -- if not THE most powerful -- political themes in American politics is 'send them a message'.   Yet, in an election year when the 'them' in [Washington DC] are the target of voter wrath from both Left and Right, only 3 of the 20+ candidates running for president are 'message carriers'.   The 3 message carriers; Democrat Bernie Sanders and Republicans Donald Trump and Ted Cruz have different messages, but they have one thing in common -- voting for them is a clear rejection of the status quo in their parties, and in the conduct of the federal government.   While their opponents may occasionally attempt to image themselves as the candidates of change, none at this point in the campaign claims to stand for a radical change in how [Washington DC's] ruling elite conduct the affairs of government..."

excessive, insecure immigration: the problem cluster that main-stream must not name
"It's frustratingly common: The main-stream media discusses a social problem obviously impacted by immigration -- over-crowding, low wages, increasing poverty, etc. -- but assiduously avoids any mention of immigration. To much of the media, using the word immigration in the context of any social problem has become a taboo, roughly equivalent to saying 'Voldemort' in a Hogwarts classroom. This past Independence Day, the New York Times offered another example. In an article titled, 'It's Summer, but Where Are the Teenage Workers?', a Times reporter lamented that teenage summer employment rates have been trending generally downward since the late 1980s. The decrease has been especially sharp since 2000... The research linking immigration with the decline in teenage employment is fairly compelling. A 2012 study by Federal Reserve economist Christopher L. Smith found empirical evidence that low-skill immigrants and teens are highly substitutable in the labor market: A 1% increase in low-skill immigration reduces native teenage work hours by 0.3%. He also found that teens -- not being bread-winners for whom work is essential -- are more likely than adults to drop out of the work-force altogether when the prevailing wage declines due to immigration. Similarly, a CIS study from 2006 found that a 1% increase in the labor force due to new immigration was associated with a 1.2 percentage-point decrease in the probability that the average native between the ages of 16 and 24 would be employed. In addition, a more recent CIS report from 2010 estimated that a one percentage-point increase in the immigrant share of the work-force between 1994 and 2007 led to a 0.8 percentage-point decline in the share of teens employed over that period. So the connection between immigration and youth employment is both intuitively plausible and backed by empirical research. We imagine that the Times would have readily mentioned that connection, except that immigration is the 'Problem-That-Must-Not-Be-Named'. That's regrettable. The decline in youth employment is a serious problem that deserves a serious examination. After all, a number of studies have found that the lack of early labor market experience can have a significant negative impact on employment and wages later in life. If we are unable to have a complete discussion about this problem, how can we ever solve it?..."

a quarter of UK new-borns have immigrant mothers
"huge increase in immigration that began after the last Labour government took office in 1997.   That year 13% of babies were born to a mother who was herself born over-seas, compared to 27% in 2014.   In addition to allowing large numbers of asylum seekers into the country around half a billion people have the right to settle in the UK as a result of European Union rules on free movement of labor.   Any citizen of a European Union country can settle in the UK and claim welfare checks in the same way as the British.   The right extends to a number of countries that were members of the Soviet Union, and yet more that were communist allies of the USSR through the Warsaw Pact.   Most of them have average family incomes of less than $10k compared to an average UK family income of nearly $40k...   The current government has put curbs on immigration, but this has done little to quell overall numbers because it can only clamp down on non-EU countries.   So qualified professional migrants from the USA and other developed countries are effectively being turned away to make room for unskilled Romanians who cannot speak English."

in Trump vs. Rove, we're going with Trump
"...That is a convenient lie put out by Rove and his allies to mask the fact that what really cost Republicans control of the Senate was the content-free campaigns run by Rove-backed establishment 2012 losers such as George Allen in Virginia, Tommy Thompson in Wisconsin, Connie Mack in Florida, Heather Wilson in New Mexico and especially Rick Berg who lost in North Dakota and Denny Rehberg who lost in Montana, even while Romney was carrying both of those states.   Republicans who ran as conservatives in 2012; Ted Cruz in Texas, Deb Fischer in Nebraska and Jeff Flake in Arizona, all won -- even if Cruz is the only 1 of the 3 who has subsequently delivered on his conservative campaign rhetoric.   If Rove insists on precision in analysis of his record then here it is: He spent $428M over 2 cycles to win 29 elections, a number of which were gimmes.   That works out to something in excess of $14.75M per win, an abysmal rate of return on investment.   Trump may have been imprecise in his language, but his larger point that Rove and his establishment Republican allies are 'clowns' who have wasted hundreds of millions of dollars in content-free campaigns on behalf of empty suit establishment Republican candidates was right on the mark.   In the escalating war of words between the Washington establishment's favorite political guru, Karl Rove, and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump we're going with Trump."

"The train wreck that passes for federal immigration and nationality policy has once again collided into reality with bloody consequences.   The fact is that it happens every day, but most of the instances rarely get more than local coverage.   Yet in the last few weeks the entire nation has been riveted by 2 egregious instances of the disastrous and fatal consequences of the government's flawed policies.   First we had the murder of Kate Steinle by the serial felon/multiple illegal reentrant from Mexico who was released by the San Francisco Sheriff's Office in its zeal to uphold the Bay City-county's 'principled' stand against co-operating with immigration enforcement agents—a stand that has been tolerated by the administration, even as it has proliferated like poisonous mushrooms in sanctuary jurisdictions throughout the country, and even as tens of thousand of alien criminals are released all over the country to commit thousands of new crimes, including murder.   Now we once again are forced to confront a situation in which a young man whose family, originally from Kuwait, was granted shelter in the United States and ultimately naturalized, giving him all the rights and privileges of anyone who is native-born.   He repaid the kindness by murdering four Marines, and injuring a number of other innocents in Chattanooga.   This man is not the first refugee/naturalized citizen to show what he really thinks of the country that gave him a future which he chose to throw away with murderous terrorist violence.   Sadly, it has happened with great regularity.   The president promises the nation a prompt and thorough investigation.   One wonders, will a part of that investigation be a careful look into the 'culture of yes' that presides at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services [USCIS], the organization charged with vetting and overseeing immigration and citizenship benefits?   Almost certainly not.   After all, it is this administration that has pushed that culture of approvals to extremes.   No such examination happened after the Boston Marathon bombings either.   Here's one quick clue as to how the whitewash will occur in this most recent case, at least where any kind of post-mortem of refugee admission or naturalization procedures is concerned: the United States Attorney's Office [under Obummer and Loretta Lynch] is already describing it as a case of 'domestic terrorism'.   Really.   So let's not concern ourselves over the fact that he was a foreign-born man who failed to assimilate, despite naturalization, and murderously vented his rage and disappointment on the country that took in his entire family.   And, for God's sake, let us not allow any close scrutiny into present refugee and asylee vetting procedures—even as the country braces to accept more such refugees from Syria, home to the Islamic State, and a hotbed of the latest wave of Islamic fundamentalism that is rocking the entire region from Central Asia to North Africa, and which has slopped over into Western societies with outrageous attacks everywhere from Canada to France to Australia, to the [United States of America].   The colloquial definition of insanity is 'doing the same thing the same way over and over again, but somehow expecting a new result each time you do it'.   Kinda describes immigration and nationality policies under the [anti-USA Obummer regime] doesn't it?   As long as that's the case, we can certainly expect more of the same kind of murderous repayment of our willingness to grant shelter and safe haven to virtually anyone.   But don't get your nose out of joint: it's a 'domestic' problem."

Jewish World Review
"Four U.S. Marines, [anti-constitutionally] barred from carrying weapons at naval training facilities despite explicit ISIS threats against our military, are dead in Tennessee.   Another service member and a Chattanooga police officer survived gun-shots after Thursday's 2-stage massacre allegedly at the hands of 24-year-old jihadist Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez.   Navy secretary Ray Mabus called the terrorist's spree 'insidious and unfathomable'.   [President Barack Hussein Obummer] bemoaned the 'heartbreaking circumstance' in which the murdered Marines found themselves.   'Unfathomable'? Not if you've been paying attention.   Islam-inspired hate crimes against our troops have continued unabated since the [Obummer] White House first dismissed the 2009 Fort Hood massacre as 'work-place violence'.   Here's what's unfathomable: While the social justice warriors in Washington bend over backward to appease CAIR and Muslim civil rights absolutists, Americans in uniform are dying on American soil at the hands of Allah's homicidal avengers -- but the commander in chief couldn't even bother to deliver a live statement to the nation yesterday about the bloodshed.   Instead, [Obummer] issued another bland, bloodless pronouncement about the assassinations of our disarmed troops..."

"[Clinton, Shrub and Obummer insanely declared military facilities to be 'gun-free zones'.]   It is time to say plainly that what killed the 4 Marines at the Navy and Marine Corps Reserve Center in Chattanooga, Tennessee was not 'violent extremism'.   It was [president Barack Hussein Obummer's] policy of importing jihad by bringing thousands of Muslim immigrants into the United States, and the Capitol Hill Republicans' criminal culpability for being so politically correct and feckless that they won't even talk about the existential threat this policy offers to constitutional liberty, let alone stop it.   The gunman who killed the 4 as yet unidentified Marines is 24-year-old Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez.   He was killed by local police.   Abdulazeez was born in Kuwait, immigrated to the United States as a child and was given every benefit our society has to offer; a quality education, a comfortable middle class lifestyle and freedom to practice Islam and possibly join a known hot-bed of Islamist radicals operating in Tennessee.   (CBS Boston says one of the Marines killed was gunnery-sergeant Thomas Sullivan, 40, a native of Springfield, MA.   The station cites the India Battery 3rd Battalion 12th Marines FB page as its source.)   In 2011, Americans for Peace and Tolerance (APT) released a documentary film -- 'Losing Our Sons' -- about the 2009 murder of private Andy Long at an Army-Navy recruitment center in Little Rock, Arkansas by a Tennessee man, Carlos Bledsoe, who converted to Islam and was radicalized in Tennessee.   The documentary investigated and warned about an extremist network of mosques and imams in Tennessee that had indoctrinated Carlos and sent him for training with Al Qaeda in Yemen.   This network remains in place in Tennessee.   Despite multiple congressional hearings on the Little Rock recruitment center attack, the safeguards that could have prevented the Chattanooga terrorist attack on the Navy recruitment centers were not put in place.   'Losing Our Sons' explicitly warned that such attacks will happen again and again.   APT has been warning for 4 years about the threat to the men and women in uniform in the Volunteer State from the Tennessee Islamist network They've uncovered during the course of producing 'Losing Our Sons'.   These warnings went unheeded by the [Obummer regime] and the local and national media.   The trailer for 'Losing Our Sons' contains scenes eerily similar to yesterday's news coverage in Chattanooga.   However, in the face of a mountain of evidence that [Obummer's] policy of massively increasing the number of Muslim immigrants to America jeopardizes constitutional liberty Capitol Hill Republicans have done nothing to stop this tidal wave of anti-constitutional invaders.   We note that Yemen is the birthplace of Chattanooga terrorist Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez and a center of Islamist terrorism.   Officials confirmed to CBS News that his father was under investigation several years ago over possible ties to a foreign terrorist organization.   From 2000 to 2013 some 54,233 Yemenis were allowed legally into the United States, and more are expected as 'refugees' as Yemen has spiraled into chaos in the face of an Iranian-inspired Islamist civil war.   Chattanooga terrorist Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez and the Tsarnaev brothers, perpetrators of the Boston Marathon bombing, were all in the country legally.   During the time the time the Tsarnaevs and Abdulazeez came to America, from 2000 to 2013 (the last year for which statistics are available) some 2,338,013 legal immigrants arrived in America from Muslim countries.   Why does America need over 2.3M Muslim immigrants?   What is the benefit to America?   Moreover, what are the risks?   Which government agency is vetting who arrives, who gets to stay and who qualifies for US citizenship?   [USCIS]   Transferring murder, mayhem and radicalism from dysfunctional Islamic countries to Europe and America, and in so doing voluntarily putting our own citizens at great risk is not a requirement of being a compassionate, open-minded, enlightened and tolerant human being..."

former CIA officer says attacker will be tied to ISIL/ISIS/Daesh/IS/caliphate
"[The attacker] was not on any terror watch list.   But his father once was, various media reported.   The New York Times reported: 'Mr. Abdulazeez was not under investigation by the FBI before the shooting, according to a source in the agency.   But a law enforcement official said that his father had been investigated years ago for contributing money to an organization that may have had ties to terrorists.   The investigation did not result in charges, the official said.'   Investigators also found Abdulazeez, who was born in Kuwait and who had emigrated to America and naturalized as a citizen, had made an appeal to fellow Muslims on his blog just a few days ago..."

price-seeking and regulator diktat in intellectual property
"I know from experience that I can charge $2,500 per speaking engagement, and get about 5 or 6 such engagements per year.   Or I can charge $20K per speaking engagement, and get zero each year.   Or, should congress appoint a board of experts to make this decision for me?   That is what congress has done for the newly developing digital music industry.   But do the experts have any idea what they are doing?..."
The same applies to government-enforced utility monopolies (including telecomm).   When CDs were going from early adopters ($500 for a player in the mid-1980s according to a mass comm text) to main-stream consumer markets, vinyl records were being driven up in price from $3-$4 per disk in the late-1970s to $10 in the early-1980s, while the effects of stagflation and attempts to choke it off were under-way.   Cassette tapes and pirating and specialized collections were proliferating among teens, sometimes recording from radio (even theme songs of their favorite shows), among those who couldn't afford the vinyl disks or low-quality pre-recorded cassettes.   At the same time, legitimate disk purchasers were using cassettes for custom collections, back-up/preservation of the disk, and use in vehicles, and it was impossible to separate the pirates from paying customers.   Sales of blank cassette tapes soared.   Late adopters of CDs (and DVDs) considered the big mark-ups far from worth the price, and were learning that claims of indestructibility, and sound quality of the various kinds of laser-disks were greatly exaggerated.   (A similar pattern is clear with the incandescent light-bulb makers' successful lobbying efforts to have the government ban incandescents so they could move on to technologies with much higher mark-ups, and unknown and varying quality differences.)   Of course, the solution is an open and honest market.   But these days, sellers don't want open and honest markets -- they've been fighting against it with some success, and greater costs to retail custimers, since at least 1907.

"...Simply put, lawns are on the way out as are pools, the ultimate California life-style symbol.   But the broader looming question is whether California will eventually be forced to impose a ban -- or at least sharp reductions -- on single-and multi-family housing.   Over the next 3 years, California is expected to add 472K units with a combined 20K acres of new landscaping.   Even allowing for the revised guidelines, those units will consume significant amounts of precious and increasingly scarce water..."

red heifers in Israel prompt 3rd Temple speculation
"The altar and sacred vessels have been reconstructed.   The architectural plans are being drawn up.   Now a group is taking another step toward fulfilling the biblical prophecy of a restored Temple by raising a group of red heifers in the land of Israel..."
But some believe only HaShem will re-build the Temple, in the blink of an eye, and at an unpredictable time, when He judges people worthy of sending his 2 Messiahs/Moshiachim.
