"1.   The women who want to work in tech already do...   2.   Most women aren't interested in tech, and they never will be...   3.   [Most] Women's brains are not as well suited to [computer] programming as men's...   4.   There is no evidence that 'diversity' improves company performance...   5.   Feminist campaigners lie about the numbers and re-classify "science" to make things look worse than they are...   the complaints only ever cut one way...   6.   There's vanishing little sexism in the tech industry...   7.   Identifying as a 'woman in tech' is the kiss of death for your career...   8.   Women already have a massive advantage when applying for tech jobs...   9.   Arbitrary quotas are discriminatory and sexist...   10.   The vast majority of women in tech work in marketing and PR, and that's totally fine...   11.   Being a woman in tech is a competitive advantage...   12.   Stroppiness [easily offended or annoyed, angry, someone who is hard to deal with, ill-tempered, belligerent, bad-tempered, argumentative, complaining, overly dramatic, unpleasant, rude] and self-pity will not get you hired...   13.   You can't have it all...   14.   The #1 reqason women don't work in tech is: other women..."

Obummer's treaty which encourages Iran to develop nuclear weapons and delivery systems; a better option
"To the president, here are 10 options to get him started on what a better deal would look like:   One that doesn't make a slew of permanent concessions on our side in exchange for temporary concessions on the part of the Iranians;   Doesn't lift the ban on arms sales to Iran;   Doesn't reduce in 10 years Iran's break-out time for having a nuclear bomb to zero days;   Frees U.S. citizens being unjustly imprisoned by Iran. These include a U.S. Marine, a pastor and a reporter;   Penalizes Iran financially for any activity to over-throw foreign governments and sponsor terror. Keeps money in escrow as an insurance policy to ensure compliance;   Doesn't trigger a nuclear arms race in the Middle East;   If Iran won't agree to eliminate their stockpiles of uranium and centrifuges, then these must at the very least be reduced to no more than what is absolutely necessary for peaceful use;   Stops Iran's development of intercontinental ballistic missiles;   Actually gives 24/7 anytime, anywhere [surprise] inspections of Iran's nuclear sites. The current agreement has a convoluted process that absolutely does not, contrary to what [president Obummer] alleges, provide for 24/7 anytime, anywhere inspections;..."

CIO
"Specifically, senate bill 211, says that a business with state operations that 'out-sources work from this state to another state or country' is ineligible to receive any grants or loans from a state agency, as well as a tax exemption.   The bill would also bar any benefits 'for a period of 5 years'.   The impetus for this legislation follows Eaton Corp.'s decision to lay off workers at a state plant and move the jobs to Mexico, according to a spokesman for Hansen.   There were 93 jobs affected and Eaton, reported ABC affiliate WKOW in Madison, had collected nearly $370K in job creation tax credits from the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. Eaton is a maker of electrical systems, among other products..."

Sili Valley's housing affordability crisis continues to worsen
alternate link
"Compiled by Peninsula-based Collaborative Economics, the data show that the average rent in May for a two-bedroom apartment in metro San Jose was $2,917 -- and that residents would need to earn $116,680 annually to afford that.   Yet the median income in the area was $57,400 for individual workers and $91,500 for households, according to the most recently available statistics, the study says...   Citing data from the California Association of Realtors for the first quarter of 2015, the report says only 44% of Santa Clara county households could afford to purchase an entry-level home -- defined as costing $833,850, or 85$ of the county's median sale price.   That percentage shrank to 29% in San Mateo county (where an entry-level home was $1.11M in the first quarter) and 27% in San Francisco ($1.15M).   Even 'well-paid' technology and science workers are feeling the impact.   With a median salary of $121K in 2014, they are generally able to rent in the region, according to the new data, though less than half would be able to buy a home of median value in metro San Jose.   The median home value there is close to $925K, according to a Bloomberg analysis cited by the study..."

oath-breaking race-obsessed extremist force initiator Obummer and Mike McCaul claim you could be a "violent extremist" if you are ready to defend yourself
"Who are these 'violent extremists' [president Barack Hussein Obummer] and his Republican allies on Capitol Hill, such as House Homeland Security committee chairman Mike McCaul of Texas, keep talking about?   Are they actually Islamists, such as Yemeni native Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez who killed the four Marines in Chattanooga, Tennessee?   Or are they Americans who support the right-to-life movement, Fourth Amendment property rights, the Second Amendment and strict constitutional limits on the size and scope of the federal government?   If you are [anti-US constitution, oath-breaking president Barack Hussein Obummer] and congressman McCaul you apparently believe either or both are equal threats to constitutional government and need to be 'countered' with new legislation that passed out of McCaul's Homeland Security committee on a voice vote no less.   McCaul's bill would create a 'countering violent extremism' office at the Department of Homeland Security, but who or what would be 'countered' is not just undefined, [Obummer regime] policy would make defining it in terms most Americans would deem appropriate to the threat of Islamism almost impossible.   And that's the way Dems/Reds/leftists on McCaul's committee and Muslim apologists want it.   Seamus Hughes, who recently left [Obummer's] National Counterterrorism Center, and is now deputy director of the Program on Extremism at George Washington University's Center for Cyber and Homeland Security, 'Islamist extremism is hardly the only form of extremism that poses a threat.'   Non-Islamist extremism needs to be aggressively addressed too, Hughes told abc News' James Gordon Meek...   Their goal is to make our counter-terrorism strategy not one of countering Islam ad Islamism, but countering anyone who objects to [Obummer regime's anti-constitutionals] policy..."

federal agencies assume power to seize medical records in fishing expeditions, with no warrant or sub-poena from a judge

2015-07-20 (5775 Ab 04)
_Conservatie HQ_
another assault on your rights as recognized in the 4th amendment to the US constitution
"In his latest piece on the Fourth Amendment in The American Thinker our colleague constitutional lawyer Mark J. FitzGibbons details how the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) has appropriated the power to seize medical records on 'Fishing Expedition' investigations with no sub-poena [or warrant] from a judge.   A United States District Court judge in Texas has ruled for the Drug Enforcement Agency that an 'administrative sub-poena' may be used to search medical records.   It was inevitable, says FitzGibbons, given the march towards illegally nullifying the Fourth Amendment through use of these judge-less bureaucrat warrants authorized by congress.   Administrative sub-poenas are issued unilaterally by government agencies -- meaning without approval by neutral judges -- and without probable cause stated under oath and affirmation as required by the Fourth Amendment.   According to FitzGibbons there are now 336 federal statutes [unconstitutionally] authorizing 'administrative sub-poenas', according to the [corrupt Obummer/Lynch DoJ].   The latest case illustrative of the institutionalization of violations of the Fourth Amendment to draw FitzGibbons' attention is U.S. v Zadeh.   In Zadeh, the DEA obtained the records of 35 patient files without showing probable cause or obtaining a warrant issued by a judge.   Citing New Deal [Raw Deal]-era case law, judge Reed O'Connor noted that '[t]he Supreme Court has refused to require that [a federal] agency have probable cause to justify issuance of an administrative sub-poena', and that they may be issued 'merely on suspicion that the law is being violated, or even just because it wants assurance that it is not'..."

Scott Walker's reforms have benefitted workers
"The Badger State's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate fell from 7.4% in 2011 January (the month of Walker's inauguration) to 4.6% in 2015 May (the latest available figure).   U.S.A. joblessness dropped from 9.0% to 5.5% over that period.   Wisconsin's unemployment, thus, stands well below America's.   May's labor-force participation rate also was higher in Wisconsin (67.9%) than across America (62.9%).   These figures are down in both places, compared with when Walker arrived.   In 2011 January, 69.1% of working-age Wisconsinites held jobs, versus 64.2% of Americans.   This key metric has slipped 1.7% in Wisconsin but has slid 2.0% nationwide...   Wisconsin's inflation-adjusted median household income grew 2.7%, from $53,795 in 2010 to $55,258 in 2013.   During those years, America's equivalent household income shrank 1.3%, from $52,646 to $51,939..."

American values in the Midwest
"...The stark contrast in values and attitudes [between NY, DC, LA, SF, Chicagoland and the real world] was brought home to me earlier this month during a Missouri River fishing trip near Fort Benton, Montana.   A friend was bitten by a huge rattlesnake in a remote area with no cellphone service.   By the time we found a ferryman with a land line, he was in pain and mostly numb.   We were still at least an hour from the nearest hospital.   The hospital dispatched a helicopter for what they call a 'mercy flight' while the dispatcher told us to get to the highest meadow so they could spot us and land when they arrived.   As we waited, first one and then more vehicles came roaring up the mountain.   The driver of the first told us that when he heard what happened he was playing in the yard with his kids, but since his wife is a registered nurse, he told the kids to get in the truck, ran into the house to get her and brought her up to help.   By the time the helicopter arrived, there were 3 other nurses on hand.   It was incredible.   Everyone who heard there was a problem rushed out not to gape, but to help..."

Congressional Black Caucus should lead investigations of Planned Parenthood
"Dear Congressional Black Caucus, I am writing to you today because my heart is heavy over the deafening silence coming from you regarding a recent video that has gone viral exposing Planned Parenthood's practice of harvesting and selling aborted babies' body parts.   If they or anyone else had been exposed for harvesting and selling animal body parts, there would be such an outrage from the left and right.   'Save the whales! Save the dolphins! Save the doggies and cats!', people would declare.   But for some reason it seems to be okay to chop up the unborn babies and harvest their body parts.   It's been a week since the video that shocked a nation was released and not a word from the CBC.   CBC, I ask you, 'Are you so beholden to the abortion lobby that you are totally paralyzed and unable to garner the necessary will to denounce their behavior?'   The National Black Pro-Life Coalition, of which I am a founding member, has addressed you before, challenging your support of the abortion industry that targets Blacks -- those you profess to be protecting and fighting for.   You never responded.   But I thought surely this current gruesome behavior on the part of PPH would be the catalyst for change.   I thought to myself, 'Surely, now the CBC will yank their support of an industry that is involved in the illegal harvesting and selling of body parts of aborted babies.'   But yet we hear nothing.   Your silence is defeating.   My mother Naomi King and I visited the new Center for Civil and Human Rights Museum in Atlanta.   There among the treasured artifacts we read 'Secrets of Married Happiness', Uncle MLK's hand-written sermon about holy matrimony.   There were many displays throughout the museum, not just about MLK.   Yet, like your position of silence, there is nothing there about the helpless mothers and babies who are victims of the abortion mills of our times.   Their plight screams of human injustice and human trafficking at their work.   Yet you remain silent.   For the record, my Uncle MLK was pro-life.   Even though his wife attended the awards ceremony where a plaque was attributed to MLK, he didn't attend.   MLK, my Daddy AD King and their father ML 'Daddy' King were pro-life.   Granddaddy even saved me and one of my children from abortion.   Thank God he did..."

This is ironic.   For several years, lawyers have been complaining about the surplus of lawyers, while claiming a turrrible shortage of STEM professionals (especially the immigration lawyers).   Some new grads have sued their law schools for misrepresenting how great the job market for lawyers was.   BLS figures, OTOH, suggest that unemployment rates for lawyers have been running only 20%-40% above the levels they typically have in times of full employment, while STEM professionals have been contending with unemployment rates 100%-200% above full employment levels (i.e. twice to thrice the full employment unemployment rates).

GAO examined processing of illegal aliens under 22-years-old, housing... but misses the mark
"...I saw nothing dire in the report, but did see several things that suggest a kind of subtle shading in the way the report has been presented.   I might expect such shading from certain offices of inspector general that have shown themselves amenable to political influences, but seeing them in a GAO report is new and troubling.   Much of the shading revolves around what is not said or analyzed or even, perhaps, closely examined...   But the phrase masks the reality.   Take a look at the pie chart on page 16 of the report: 61% of the unaccompanied "children" were aged 16 or 17, and another 23% were 14 or 15 years old; collectively this represents 84 percent of the arrivals, who were overwhelmingly male (78%).   In Mexico and other countries south of the border, the harsh reality is that by the age of 15 or 16, most such individuals are pretty much fully formed and, for purposes other than legal definition, responsible for making their way in the world as adults..."

murder uncovers illegal aliens in the mushroom business in Louisiana (just like was found a couple decades ago in northern Florida)
"Here's a helpful memorandum to those thinking about hiring illegal aliens:   If you are going to hire illegal aliens, see to it that they do not murder each other.   If the feds catch you with a bunch of illegals on your pay-roll, don't re-hire them under other names.   A big mushroom farm did not follow those simple rules and now has to forfeit more than $1M in ill-gotten gains.   Typically, employers of illegal aliens, if penalized at all, are simply fined by the government, and in many cases they can, and do, appeal the level of the fines to an entity called the Office of the Chief Administrative Hearing Officer (OCAHO) in the Department of Justice.   That organization often reduces, but rarely eliminates the fines.   But the mushroom farmer in Tangipahoa Parish, LA, got a lot more than a slap on the wrist..."

"...'I will not arm and train those who wish to do harm to my fellow patriots.', Florida Gun Supply owner Andy Hallinan said in the video, which caused at least one of his employee to quit.   'Our leaders are telling you that Islam is a peaceful religion full of tolerance and love and hope.   Don't believe their lies.', he said, after giving a brief history on the Confederate battle flag.   Mr. Hallinan said last week's deadly shooting in Chattanooga, Tennessee, was the final straw for him.   If Muslims want to come to his store, he said, they will have to verbally denounce jihad.   'If they come in here and they say, Hey, I don’t believe in jihad.   And I don’t believe that killing some innocent people in the name of religion is the right thing to do., [then] they're as American as you or I.', Mr. Hallinan told a local CBS affiliate.   He claimed Americans are in a battle against 'extreme political correctness that threatens our lives'..."

senate reaches a proposal for a bill for long-term highway funding
Sooo, the about $800G Porkulus 1 for "shovel-ready jobs" wasn't used for highway and bridge construction, repair and maintenance.   The about $900G Porkulus 2 for "shovel-ready jobs" was not used for highway and bridge construction, maintenance and repair.   But the privacy-violating "intelligent transportation systems" scam moves forward, making vehicles more hackable and trackable, and huge piles found their way to Obummer regime and Dem/Red/leftist crony socialists.   And we're supposed to believe that this time it will really truly go to actual highway maintenance, repair and construction.   Yah, sure, and I've got the perfect bridge to sell them, just to get them started, don't you know.

Louie Gohmert out-classed Trump, got it right on John McCain
"While the left-wing media and their do-boys in the Republican establishment thrash about trying to out-do themselves defending the indefensible senator John McCain in his battle of words with Donald Trump, principled limited government constitutional conservative representative Louie Gohmert quietly got things right on McCain and his record as a senator.   'As far as senator McCain, I have nothing but respect and great sympathy for the pain and suffering he endured...but that doesn't mean that you get to become a senator and ruin the country.', Gohmert said Monday on 'The Steve Malzberg Show' on Newsmax TV.   Gohmert's comments came in the wake of the uproar over Donald Trump's comments about the war record of McCain, who spent more than 5 years as a prisoner in North VietNam.   Gohmert said he wasn't going to be the auditor of who owes whom and apology in the Trump -- McCain smack-down, but he sure has it right on McCain's record as a senator.   'It [distinguished military service] may give you a chance to be a senator, but once you're there, your merits have to stand on their own.   In recent years he's been pro-amnesty, he's been wrong on so many things.', said congressman Gohmert of senator McCain.   This would be the same Senator John McCain who advocated cutting-off American aid to Egypt after the popular revolt that ousted anti-American Muslim Brotherhood-aligned president Mohammed Morsi, and replaced him with pro-Western Abdel Fattah al-Sisi..."

At the outset of his presidency I looked back on Barack’s barren years of preparation for the most demanding job in the world and I called him ['Barack the Unrede'] after the English King, ['Ethelred the Unrede'], whose futile life extended from 968CE until 1016CE.   Now, after observing the spread of heretofore unimaginable pathologies throughout the Republic, I shall steal another page from history.   Once there was William the Silent (1533 to 1584CE).   Why can we not have Barack the Silent?..."

corrupt Obummer regime damages yet another immigration enforcement tool
"One of the best tools used to un-cover fraud in the H-1B and L-1 non-immigrant worker programs has just been hurt by yet another effort by the [regime] to under-cut the enforcement of immigrant law.   This tool is an unannounced visit by a DHS official who will (a) make sure that the entity exists as stated on an application, and (b) look at documentation such as pay slips.   In the past the employer in question had to work with the investigators; now, according to immigration lawyer Alan Lee, cooperation with these visits is voluntary...   While I can see situations in which an unexpected visit by a DHS official might complicate life for a law-abiding firm (such as a conflict with an off-site retreat by all staff members) I worry that such postponements would simply give the employer and opportunity to destroy and/or tamper with evidence."

"America will have to answer for the shedding of innocent un-born life.   That's just a fact.   If justice is ultimately to be served -- and I have no doubts that's what God intends -- the deaths of 55M un-born babies at the hands abortion must be dealt with as a national crime, much like it was addressed with ancient Israel when the nation allowed babies to be sacrificed to Baal and Molech.   This gruesome practice in America on a scale unknown and unimaginable when Israel was judged is even worse because, one way or another, every American, like it or not, subsidizes the practice with their tax dollars.   We do this through what is euphemistically referred to as Abortion Inc. -- or Planned Parenthood.   That organization is not only a tax-deductible 'charity', it also received hundreds of millions of dollars from the U.S. government to further its work..."

you're either for Americans, or you're not
"During yesterday's senate committee on the Judiciary hearing regarding the [regime's] failure to enforce immigration law against criminal illegal aliens senator Ted Cruz led the fight for justice for the families and the victims of the illegal alien crime wave sweeping America that has been not just allowed, but created by federal policy during the [Barack Hussein Obummer] presidency.   Cruz finally got an admission from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (US ICE) Director Sarah Saldaña that he's right about [Obummer's] murderous policy of releasing criminal illegal aliens.   'Ms. Saldaña, I will note in your opening statement here, you said after listening to the victims' families you were so sorry for their losses, and yet the [Obummer regime] keeps doing it.   When I asked you how many murderers were released yesterday, you don’t know.', senator Cruz asked.   'There is a reason the American people are upset.   If [president Obummer] had the courage of his convictions, he would come and look in the eyes of these men and women who have lost their sons, their daughters, their mothers, their sisters, their brothers, and the [regime] would stop releasing murderers and rapists.'   Senator Cruz cited the following numbers for the 88K total convictions among criminal illegal aliens released into the public in 2013:   193 had homicide convictions.   426 had sexual assault convictions.   More than 16K drunk or drugged driving convictions.   Cruz further interrogated the US ICE director in a contentious exchange our friend Jason Howerton of Glenn Beck's The Blaze brought to our attention.   One particularly interesting back-and-forth occurred when US ICE director Saldana disputed Cruz's assertion that the [Obummer regime] released 104K 'criminal illegal aliens'.   'When I asked you how many criminals ICE released in 2013, you were off by a factor of 3.', Cruz said.   'You said 30K -- the correct answer is 104K.'   Saldana argued she thought she was asked about 2014 and claimed the number was actually 30,558 released illegal aliens that were not prosecuted.   The 'good news is', she continued, 'at least that went down from 2013.'   'But you're omitting the 68K criminal illegal aliens that US ICE did not begin deportation proceedings against at all.', Cruz shot back.   'You've got to add both of those together -- it's over 100K.'   Saldana then admitted, 'Yes sir, that's absolutely right.'   She added, 'All done pursuant to this statute that congress has outlined [but not enacted, and not signed by any president].'   'There are too many politicians in Washington that talk a good game but don't act.   If you want to honor [Josh Wilkerson], if you want to honor Kate Steinle, start enforcing the law and stop releasing murderers, and rapists, and drunk drivers.   I don't want to hear from the [Obummer regime] they're sorry while they continue to do the exact same thing because what we know -- more people will be murdered, more people will be raped, more people will be killed by drunk drivers because this [regime] refuses to enforce the law.   That is wrong.   No man is above the law, and that includes [president Obummer].', Cruz said.   Several family members of victims testified at the hearing..."

[7:26]   You breathe every second, there are so many things that come there's so many losses after the initial loss of your son that I can't even begin to describe, and that includes extended family, friends, and certainly the core family your in, your husband, your surviving children.   You don't know who you are, you almost have to learn to breathe again, and crawl, then walk, and you just feel disoriented from this life.   You just try your best each day to heal, so you can manage what you're going through.   It's not going away but I know in another 5 years it will be a little easier to manage than it is today. [8:17]   It comes from the top; you can't really blame anyone but the people at the top...   you cannot tie the policemen's hands from doing the job they swore to uphold...'"

"JAY SEKULOW: Yeah, well, a U.S. Court of Appeals in the District of Columbia has acknowledged the targeting scheme.   And here's the other thing...   Lois Lerner admitted it happened.   She said that they targeted based on names and policy positions...   we do know from e-mails that we have found that in fact Lois Lerner was in cahoots with the Department of Justice to, in their words, quote, 'piece together' -- this is what she said -- 'potential criminal cases' against our clients for exercising their freedom of speech...   it's his [Obummer's] IRS that has done this, and they should be held accountable...   Department of Justice, supposedly, there's an ongoing investigation.   He would also find out in a case called Z Street, which was targeted because they are a pro-Israel group.   They were targeted because they took the position that was different from the administration's on the Middle East.   They were targeted.   The IRS admitted to targeting here.   The FEC and the Department of Justice were in conversations with Lois Lerner and the IRS...   we already have the smoke, we already have the fire.   We'd like to get the rest of the evidence, because I suspect it's a five-alarm fire when we see the rest of these e-mails..."

the fact-free left (part 1)
"There is no way to know what is going on in someone else's mind.   But sometimes their behavior tells you more than their words.   The political left's great claim to authenticity and honor is that what they advocate is for the benefit of the less fortunate.   But how could we test that?   T.S. Eliot once said, 'Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important.   They don't mean to do harm -- but the harm does not interest them.   Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.'   This suggests that one way to find out if those who claim to be trying to help the less fortunate are for real is to see if they are satisfied to simply advocate a given policy, and see it through to being imposed -- without also testing empirically whether the policy is accomplishing what [they alleged it was intended] to do."

It takes almost twice as long for the unemployed to find work than it did before the recession, and those with jobs do not see raises as often as in the past.

straight talk about immigrant and illegal alien crime
"...The truth is more complex. In a detailed report, a colleague and I have explained why it is very difficult to measure immigrant crime. There is research showing that immigrants do commit a disproportionate share of crime, but there is also research showing that the opposite is the case. Census Bureau data collected on the institutional population (such as those in prisons and jails) might be a way to at least measure incarnation rates in an unbiased fashion. But as we explained in the report mentioned above, the Bureau's ability to record whether the institutionalized are immigrant or native broke down in the past and it is still not clear if this problem has been entirely corrected.."

all the illegal aliens get to stay under Obummer's unconstitutional and illegal amnesties
"The Migration Policy Institute, CIS's opposite number on the high-immigration side, has released a report estimating that fully 87% of the illegal population is exempt from immigration law following [president Barack Hussein Obummer's] November amnesty decrees.   This is a change from the 2010-2011 decrees, under which only 73% of illegals enjoyed de facto amnesty.   That means the number of illegal aliens at least theoretically subject to immigration enforcement went from about 4M before the latest round of lawless decrees to a mere 1.4M now.   And as a practical matter, few even of those will be sent home.   One of the main ways the new decrees expand the amnesty pool is by moving up the dates to cover more people.   As the report notes:   'In contrast with the 2010-11 guidelines, which prioritized immigrants who entered or re-entered the United States during the previous three years, the 2014 guidelines tie the second- and third-priority categories to the fixed date of 2014 January 1, targeting for enforcement those who entered on or after that date.'   This is important because new illegals keep coming even as old ones stop being illegal (either by going home or finagling a green card).   Since [Obummer] was sworn in, some 2.5M illegals have settled, so if he'd stuck to his earlier amnesty guidelines, they wouldn't qualify.   What do you want to bet that a year from now he'll issue another decree moving up the effective amnesty date further?   The report dryly notes that, 'The net effect of the new policy guidance likely will be a reduction in deportations from within the interior of the United States.'   Ya think?"

House slammed door on funding of "sanctuary" jurisdictions: corrupt anti-USA, anti-constitution, oath-breaker Obummer vows veto
"The bill ended up passing 241-179.   It would withhold certain federal law enforcement grants to cities that have policies designed to shelter illegal immigrants from deportation.   [President Barack Hussein Obummer] has vowed to veto it...   Representative Steve King (R-IA), said [president Obummer] relaxed the rules on US ICE detainers, making it optional instead of mandatory for cities to comply.   This opened the door for the ACLU to file law-suits on behalf of illegal aliens, he said...   In 2011, King said 25K criminal aliens had been arrested in the U.S.A. and released.   'So how many crimes committed? I did the math, and it's 48K.', he said.   Another 30K were arrested and released in 2014.   They committed thousands more violent crimes...   At one point in the hearing representative John Ratcliffe (R-TX), asked Jim Steinle if President Obama had ever contacted him since his daughter’s death on July 1 in San Francisco.   'Has the president in the last three weeks expressed his condolences to you?'   Steinle, unable to give voice to his answer, simply shook his head no...   Indeed, the [Obummer regime] played a key role in expanding the number of sanctuary cities by changing rules in how detainment orders are applied, expert witnesses such as Jessica Vaughan testified.   'I believe it was set off by the policy change at ICE to accept that detainers were optional, not mandatory, and they did it with no legal interpretation whatsoever as to what legal reasoning they had to change that policy, but once that was done that provided legal cover for all these cities to change their policies and stop complying with detainers.', said Vaughan, a research fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies...   Representative Ken Buck (R-CO), a former district-attorney in Colorado, said he has seen changes in the morale of ICE agents.   'Many of the agents I deal with feel they have been handcuffed by this administration.   Is that the same thing you see?', he asked Sheriff Scott Jones of Sacramento county, who testified at Thursday's hearing.   'Yes most definitely.   Even though they raised the pay.', Jones said.   'Can you raise the salary of a law enforcement officer enough to ignore crime?', Buck asked.   'No, sir.   It's a calling.   We don't choose law enforcement; it chooses us.'...   'These things are fixable.', said Jones, the Sacramento sheriff.   'There just has to be a desire and a political will.'   Representative Trey Gowdy (R-SC), said he thought congress was 'missing the boat' if they focus solely on felonies for immigrants who want to be in this country.   'All misdemeanors are not the same.', Gowdy said.   'This obsession we have with felons, that we can only deport felons, is that something that needs to be changed?'   'The best predictor of future behavior is past experience.', [Sheriff Scott Jones] said.   Gowdy said that of the 11M illegal aliens now in the country, about 2M have committed felonies or serious misdemeanors..."

legal and evil: Planned Parenthood sales of baby tissues
"It is interesting to watch the scramble to denounce Planned Parenthood for the potentially illegal sale of body parts of unborn babies aborted in their facilities.   First, the law in question, 42 U.S. Code 289g-2, is weak, and was deliberately written that way.   Notwithstanding the 'haggling' of Planned Parenthood's medical directors in the offensive video-tapes, arguments are already being made that Planned Parenthood is not 'compensated' for the body parts, merely 'reimbursed' for storage, shipping and handling, as it were.   Second, even if it became necessary to change the law, does anyone seriously think that Planned Parenthood wouldn't find ways to divert funds into the right congressional coffers to make that happen?   Or that these transactions couldn't otherwise be made instantly 'legal' by a stroke of [Barack Hussein Obummer's] or Anthony Kennedy's sympathetic pens?..."

"Nucatola sounds as though she were reading from a film script about a 1940s clinic in Nazi Germany devoted to the disposal of 'useless eaters' in the Third Reich.   Watching these tapes, one name comes to mind: Mengele...   Do Americans want hundreds of millions of tax dollars provided to an organization that harvests and sells the body parts of aborted babies as a potentially lucrative sideline business?   Do Americans want to be associated in any way with an organization with the moral mindset exhibited by Nucatola?...   Speaking after the fall of France, at the beginning of the Battle of Britain, Winston Churchill said, 'But if we fail, then the whole world...including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science.'   Those phrases, 'perverted science', and 'a new Dark Age', do they not fairly describe our future if the views and values of [Deborah Nucatola's and Mary Gatter's] Planned Parenthood are the future of America and her people?"

handicapping the efforts to sun-set the current tax code
US citizens have been trying to sun-set the socialist income extortion scheme since at least 1893.   It was over-turned in 1894, but brought back in 1912, when new efforts began to get rid of it.   New efforts were launched at least twice in the 1930s, in the 1940s, again in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s.   But as Hanna recognizes, vested interests were drafted into the legislation in an effort to lock in and ratchet up the evil.   We must recognize those gimmicks, directly challenge and over-turn them.

Seattle mayor seeks to set aside federal and state laws in favor of sharia to accommodate Muslims
"Seattle's local governing authorities are pressing forward with a plan to give Muslims with Sharia-compliant beliefs a financial option to buy homes.   The idea comes in recognition of the current purchasing and financing laws that Muslims say lock them out of home buying, due to their Sharia principles..."
How shocking!   They may have to save before they try to buy, just as many non-Muslims in the USA do, instead of taking out traditional mortgages at interest.   There have been whole counties which retained this practice after immigration from Europe, well into the 20th century.

Defunding fugitive felons sounds like a mostly good idea... if we didn't have so many actions ridiculously declared to be felonies that should not be and other actions which should obviously be felonies declared to be misdemeanors, while some felonies go unprosecuted.   But it's not worth dickering over.

"In the U.S.A., at least 34 Americans have been killed in terror attacks since 2001/09/11.   Those attacks include the 2009 killing of 13 people at Fort Hood, Texas, the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, and the Chattanooga, Tennessee shootings last week which cost the lives of 4 U.S. Marines and a sailor.   Abroad, another 363 U.S. citizens have been killed in terror attacks since 2001/09/11, according to data accumulated from State Department country reports on terrorism -- or in years where data is incomplete, from the department's Bureau of Consular Affairs' record of citizens killed due to 'terrorist action'. The annual break-down of terrorist fatalities [of US citizens abroad but outside of areas were USA troops have been battling Muslim terrorists] abroad is 24 in 2014, 16 in 2013, 10 in 2012, 17 in 2011, 15 in 2010, 9 in 2009, 33 in 2008, 19 in 2007, 28 in 2006, 56 in 2005, 74 in 2004, 35 in 2003 and 27 in 2002."

eminent domain turns dream into nightmare
Matt Gelb: Philadelpha PA Inquirer
"...He invested about $75K of his own funds in 2020 Master.   He hoped to rent the first two floors and move into the third floor with his fiancee.   Those plans are now scuttled.   Soon, the PHA will own his 2 properties, and 1,300 others in the neighborhood, through the process of eminent domain.   The agency offered Mancini $5,500 for each building.   These were 'estimates of just compensation' -- the market value PHA assigned to the homes.   Mancini, 53, is in disbelief.   'I mean', he said, 'the front steps are probably worth more than $5,500.'...   Mancini expected to spend about $150K to rehab 2020 Master before starting a similar project at 2022.   In comparison, it costs the PHA more than $300K to build one affordable home.   He bought in Sharswood because it was an area he could afford.   (He spent $13K to purchase 2020 and $12K for 2022.)   His fiancee, Xin Lu, has also invested money.   'I didn't see it as a risk.', Mancini said.   'I didn't see the neighborhood getting worse.'   On Feb. 10, Mancini purchased new triple-pane windows and doors for $4,695, his ledger shows.   A week later, Mancini contacted PRA officials to provide an update of work completed.   Tracy Pinson-Reviere, a project manager at the PRA, told Mancini she advised the PHA of Mancini's plans..."

"Spanish Explorers Hernando de Soto in 1540, and Juan Pardo in 1567, traveled inland from North America's eastern coast and passed through a Native American village named 'Tanasqui'.   A century and a half later, British traders encountered a Cherokee town named Tanasi.   After the Revolutionary War, attempts were made to turn the area into the 'state of Franklin' in honor of Ben Franklin.   At the state's Constitutional Convention, it is said general Andrew Jackson suggested the Indian name 'Tennessee'.   In 1796, President George Washington signed congress' bill accepting Tennessee as the 16th State, which is significant as the Tennessee Constitution acknowledged God: 'Article 11, Section 3...   All men have a natural and indefeasible right to worship Almighty God according to the dictates of their own consciences.'   Tennessee's Constitution stated in Article 11, Section 4: 'No religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under this State...'   Yet Tennessee's Constitution also stated in Article 8, Section 2: 'No person who denies the being of God, or a future state of rewards and punishments, shall hold any office in the civil department of this State.'   Evidently, acknowledging God was not considered a 'religious test'...."

hammering "sanctuaries" with law-suits
"...It has forced a public reckoning of a shameful but open secret about how many state and local governments have been free to thumb their noses at federal immigration authorities.   Many of those jurisdictions -- San Francisco is one of them -- are unrepentant even when something horrible happens.   Ms. Steinle's murder was not the first to take place there at the hands of an illegal alien.   A man and his two sons were brutally killed several years ago, but rather than take responsibility, the city-county continued on its misguided path.   At least one solution to the sanctuary problem has always been hiding in plain sight.   The federal statute that makes it a felony to smuggle or transport aliens also penalizes harboring or shielding aliens who are in the United States in violation of law.   The statute, which can be found at Title 8 of the U.S. Code, Section 1324, makes no exception for state or local officials, including law enforcement personnel.   They are as vulnerable to prosecution for violating the statute as anyone.   It might even be reasonably argued that law enforcement officers and other state and local officials should be held to a higher standard of conduct than the average man.   One cannot imagine a more clear-cut case to be made than in the extraordinary actions taken by San Francisco officials to shield Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez (the confessed killer of Ms. Steinle) from the reach of immigration agents, and to be sure he was returned to the streets in the days and weeks leading up to the murder.   Now, do I think that such officials will in fact be prosecuted by the federal government under the [Obummer regime]?   I do not.   I simply raise the possibility.   If state or local officials were prosecuted once, just once, it would send the loudest possible message about the folly of attempts to obstruct federal law through sanctuary policies.   Failing a prosecution, however, a variety of politicians have belatedly leaped into the fray to introduce bills in Congress that would punish sanctuary cities by taking away federal funds of one sort or another, although many of these self-same politicians have been aware of, and indifferent to tackling, sanctuary policies until now, with the needle tilted strongly toward the 'outrage' setting on the meter of public opinion.   (A weak defunding bill passed the House this week.)   We at CIS have expressed our concern that some of these bills will be ineffectual; some may be worse than ineffectual by actually dissuading law enforcement agencies that now uniformly cooperate with immigration enforcement efforts.   But at least the number of serious crimes committed by aliens, most particularly including murder, is now getting the public airing it deserves instead of being hidden in the closet like a dirty family secret no one wants to talk about because it's somehow politically incorrect and embarrassing -- which reaction is, in itself, deeply embarrassing.   Few other nations in the world would try to gloss over such shocking criminality and try to silence the victims (including society's most vulnerable such as women and children or ethnic and racial minorities) for fear it will somehow damage the ongoing [leftist] narrative of multi-culturalism at any cost.   For individuals of a certain mind-set, it's an easy position to take as long as the pain of that cost is not borne by you or a member of your family, I suppose.   Some of that disgraceful mindset was on display at a senate Judiciary committee hearing held on July 21 entitled 'Oversight of the Administration's Misdirected Immigration Enforcement Policies: Examining the Impact on Public Safety and Honoring the Victims'.   A number of law enforcement organizations have stopped honoring detainers out of fear of lawsuits, even at the risk of inappropriate release of alien criminals back into our communities.   Advocacy groups such as the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) have led the charge, looking specifically for flawed examples of detainers filed (such as erroneously against U.S. citizens) in order to bring suits aimed at intimidating police and sheriff offices.   In fact, the ACLU has sent heavy-handed letters to enforcement agencies all over the country threatening such suits.   One way to curb this trend is to put such agencies between the hammer and the anvil.   Victims and families of the murdered must begin filing lawsuits that are just as aggressive at halting law enforcement from releasing alien criminals as there have been by advocacy groups bent on dismantling immigration enforcement.   Recently, an attorney in private practice in the Carolinas, alarmed at the trend he has seen develop, took the time to write to the Center to suggest that such victims look specifically at Title 42 of the United States Code, Section 1983 when considering tort actions based on sanctuary laws or policies.   It says this in pertinent part (emphasis added): 'Every person who, under color of any statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage, of any State or Territory or the District of Columbia, subjects, or causes to be subjected, any citizen of the United States or other person within the jurisdiction thereof to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws, shall be liable to the party injured in an action at law, suit in equity, or other proper proceeding for redress.'   Because the statute refers specifically to depriving individuals of their rights (which, of course, includes the right to life) under color of law, the attorney believes, and I agree, that it appears to be directly applicable to the situation of Kate Steinle and the hundreds of others who have been injured, maimed, or killed by aliens who were released to the streets by ill-considered sanctuary rules and policies...

Texas border: life-long Dem Hispanic voter says he would vote for Donald Trump
"...Diaz reflected on the increasing violence of violence in the Nuevo Laredo region.   'In the last 9, 10 years it's been so violent, the violence in Nuevo Laredo.   It's been so bad and you can't even hear about it on the local news...   Something needs to happen, this border is so porous and so not secure its amazing we haven't had a major terrorist attack.'   He repeated that sentiment later..."

GOP losers trying to lie their way through another crisis
"The cue that the House Republican [losership] is lying about their intentions on ending so-called 'sanctuary cities' is that House [losership] has decided to bypass the committee process and ignore the time and work the members of the Judiciary committee put into marking up and passing the Davis-Oliver Act (HR1148)...   as the sole legislative response of congress to this criminal alien crisis, HR3009 is wholly inadequate..."

it's not about Trump; it's about the failures of the GOP losership
"...It was the failure of the Republican establishment to fight [Obummer], as much as it was grass-roots opposition to [Obummer's] policies, such as the bail-outs, [ObummerDoes'tCare] and the growth of spending and the debt that fueled the rise of the Tea Party.   In 2009 country class voters looked at what [Obummer] was doing and thought, 'We're losing our country and Republican [losership] won't even fight for it.', and the Tea Party movement was born...   It's about the failures of the Republican establishment, especially the GOP's Capitol Hill [losership], to do what they promised to do and fight [Obummer's vile] policies with all the tools the Constitution gives them...   They promised to de-fund [ObummerDoesn'tCare] -- they fully funded it.   They promised to secure the border and end amnesty [for illegal aliens] -- they engaged in a transparent fraud on voters and backed down when [Obummer] held his ground, so when it came time to pass the Department of Homeland Security [DHS] appropriation they gave [Obummer] everything he wanted, and then some.   They promised to block the Iran nuclear weapons program -- instead they passed the [unconstitutional and inapplicable] Corker bill..."

Tom Howell ii: Washington DC Times
Cybercast News Service (video)
"McConnell -- despite telling the entire GOP conference there was no such secret deal with the Democrats during the Obamatrade [TPA+TAA+TPP] process to later bring up Ex-Im reauthorization—actually did cut a deal with Democrats, specifically senator Patty Murray (D-WA)...   Cruz noted that McConnell made the promise that 'there is no deal' 3 times in public and then again in a private discussion with him and senator Mike Lee (R-UT)...   Cruz then hammered GOP leadership for putting forward nothing more than a show vote—a meaningless vote—on repealing [ObummerDoesn'tCare]...   Cruz then proceeded to detail how the 2010 and 2014 elections handing the GOP majorities in the House then senate didn't matter one bit at all [because of the losership's perfidy].   'First thing we did, in December, is we came back and passed a $1T Cromnibus plan filled with pork and corporate welfare [including ObummerDoesn'tCare].', Cruz said..."

the questionable sanity and patriotism of the Obummer regime
"...What planet are some of these people from? The purpose of the military is to carry arms.   The military exists to use guns.   Yet the military are not allowed to carry their own weapons? Such logical failures should not surprise anyone who sees the [Obummer] regime fawning all over itself, trying to help Iran get nuclear weapons.   Iran can be trusted with nukes, but Marines can't be trusted with guns?   It is long past time to question both the patriotism and the sanity of the Obama regime.   Immediately after the shooting, armed Americans began showing up at recruiting stations.   These real Americans were appalled that the soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines who served at these recruiting stations, which have been attacked before by Islamic terrorists, could not carry guns for force protection.   These real Americans showed up with their guns and stood watch for the recruiters.   Photos quickly appeared in social media and in the news media, showing these real Americans along side recruiters who appeared to be grateful for the support.   Now the [Obummer] Defense Department has warned recruiters that the real threat is not Islamic fanatics who have shot up Americans in American military installations.   No, [leftist Obummer fanatics] say, the real danger is the real Americans who are standing up for the defenseless soldiers.."
