Germany's H-1B visa (which they called a "green card" in 2000, now supplanted by the "blue card") for cheap, young, pliant, low-skilled foreign "IT" labor with flexible ethics turns 15
Note that just as in the USA, a "skills shortage" or "talent shortage" was merely asserted, with no evidence to support the assertion.   Mention is made of German STEM and health workers leaving Germany for greener pastures.   A degree or pay level was required, but no objective specification of skill level.   The emphasis was on quick rubber-stamping of applications, not background investigations to help ensure good people were admitted, and bad people were not.

US government to issue more green cards than the populations of IA + NH + SC over the next 10 years -- 10.5M
Breitbart (with graph)
"...The post-World War 2 boom decades of the 1950s and 1960s averaged together less than 3M green cards per decade—or about 285K annually.   Due to lower immigration rates, the total foreign-born population in the United States dropped from about 10.8M in 1945 to 9.7M in 1960 and 9.6M in 1970.   These lower midcentury immigration levels were the product of a federal policy change: after the last period of large-scale immigration that had begun in roughly 1880, immigration rates were lowered to reduce admissions.   The foreign-born share of the U.S. population fell for six consecutive decades, from 1910 through 1960.   Legislation enacted in 1965, among other factors, substantially increased low-skilled immigration.   Since 1970, the foreign-born population in the United States has increased more than four-fold—to a record 42.1M today.   The foreign-born share of the population has risen from fewer than 1 in 21 in 1970, to presently approaching 1 in 7.   As the supply of available labor has increased, so too has downward pressure on wages.   Georgetown and Hebrew University economics professor Eric Gould has observed that 'the last 4 decades have witnessed a dramatic change in the wage and employment structure in the United States...   The overall evidence suggests that the manufacturing and immigration trends have hollowed-out the overall demand for middle-skilled workers in all sectors, while increasing the supply of workers in lower skilled jobs.   Both phenomena are producing downward pressure on the relative wages of workers at the low end of the income distribution.'   During the low-immigration period from 1948-1973, real median compensation for U.S. workers increased more than 90%.   By contrast, real average hourly wages were lower in 2014 than they were in 1973, four decades earlier.   Harvard Economist George Borjas also documented the effects of high immigration rates on African-American workers, writing that 'a 10% immigration-induced increase in the supply of workers in a particular skill group reduced the black wage of that group by 2.5%'...   Polling from Gallup and Fox shows that Americans want lawmakers to reduce, not increase, immigration rates by a stark 2:1 margin.   Reuters puts it at a 3:1 margin.   And polling from GOP pollster Kellyanne Conway shows that by the huge margin of nearly 10:1 people of all backgrounds are united in their belief that U.S. companies seeking workers should raise wages for those already living here instead of bringing in new labor from abroad."

stop Obummer's flood of Muslim "refugees"
"...Babin explained: 'It is extremely unsettling that the [Obummer regime] would continue to expand the USA resettlement program at such an irresponsible pace in light of our economic and national security challenges.   While this program may be warranted in certain situations, it is continuing at an unchecked pace.   For the past decade the USA has been admitting roughly 70K new refugees a year, with little understanding of the economic and social costs on our communities.'   The social costs are incalculable.   [Obummer] has been importing hundreds of thousands of Muslims under the Refugee Resettlement Program.   Despite the spike in jihad plots and attacks in the U.S.A. and the genocide of non-Muslims under Shariah, [Obummer] remains unmoved.   Under [the hateful, race-obsesse, anti-USA, anti-US constitution Obummer], it's a world where arrogance rules..."

7 reasons Planned Parenthood's days are numbered
"...1) It's not the crime; it's the cover-up...   2) The left does not control the flow of information any longer...   3) The cat is already out of the bag.   I interviewed Dr. Gary Cass, a board member of Operation Rescue.   He told me the videos have been dispersed all over the country and the world.   Therefore, Planned Parenthood's tactic of judge shopping until they find a judge to block the Center for Medical Progress' videos won't work.   The videos are in the hands of too many, already, and as Dr. Cass told me, there is 'no stopping it now'.   4) The disturbing images are seared into our minds...   5) The left can't deny science any longer...   6) Plausible deniability of humanity excuse: Gone...   7) Democrats are about to ditch Planned Parenthood..."

it's about time the American people learned the truth about Planned Parenthood and brethren outfits
"...people who believe life begins before a baby leaves the hospital, didn't just release edited videos.   They've made available the videos in their entirety, knowing just such ludicrous claims would be made by gutless, lying sycophants like Earnest.   But the White House is counting on most Americans not bothering to watch for themselves.   And, let's face it: How many people have the stomach for it?...   It's a case of see-no-evil, hear-no-evil, speak-no-evil -- about Planned Parenthood, one of the foundational institutions of the 'progressive' left...   Clinton, by the way, won Planned Parenthood's highest award, named after founder Margaret Sanger, who created the group because of her desire to eliminate as many black babies as possible.   She was a favorite speaker on the Ku Klux Klan circuit in her day.   Should Planned Parenthood be defunded?   It should never have been funded by tax dollars in the first place.   Now the real question should be whether Planned Parenthood officials go to jail for trading in and profiting off of the sale of human baby parts.   It's about time the American people have been made aware of just what a despicable, degenerate, depraved, debased, debauched organization they've been subsidizing for so many years..."

in 1482, Columbus sailed the ocean blue: Muslims blocked trade routes, so Europeans sought alternate routes... but Spanish also banished Jews
"...Though his predictions were off, Columbus revealed his motivation for setting sail 1492 Aug. 3, with the Nina, Pinta and the Santa Maria on his first voyage to find a sea route to India and China, as an alternative to traveling by land through Muslim territories.   Muslims, called 'Moors' [or Saracens], had invaded Spain in 711CE.   With a cavalry of 80K, wielding curved scimitar swords, they 'went through all places like a desolating storm'.   The 'Mozarabic Chronicle', 754CE, recorded that thousands of churches were burned and: 'God alone knows the number of the slain.'   In 846CE, 11K Muslims sacked Rome, Italy, and looted the Basilica of St. Peter, desecrating his grave.   They then did the same to remains of St. Paul which were in San Paolo fuori le Mura (St Paul's outside the Walls).   Following this raid, Pope Leo iv decided to build a wall around the Vatican City.   In 1011, Muslims killed 2K in Cordoba, Spain.   In 1066, Muslims massacred every one of the 5K Jews in Granada, Spain.   In 1189, Muslims raided Libson, Portugal, and enslaved 3K women and children.   In 1191, Muslims attacked Silves, Portugal, enslaving another 3K.   The Catholic Orders of Montjoie, and Calatrava, were organized to ransom back Christian slaves.   It took over 700 years to drive Muslims out of Spain in what was called the 'reconquista' or re-conquest. In 1085, the kingdom of Castile freed Toledo from Muslim control. The Spanish knight Rodrigo Diaz, known as 'El Cid', drove Muslims out of Valencia in 1094. (Charlton Heston starred in the movie, 'El Cid', in 1961. [el Cid/Rodrigo Diaz de Bivar/el campeador b: c. 1040 d: 1099-07-10 in Valencia was an ancestor of prince Charles of Wales & lord of the Isles, lady Diana Spencer, duke William of Cambridge, prince Georgie Alexander Louis of Cambridge and princess Charlotte.])   In 1119, the kingdom of Aragon fought and freed the city of Zaragoza from Muslim control..."

H-1B visas: great for company executives and boards, terrible for US citizen STEM professionals
"Qualcomm, the San Diego-based cellphone smart-chip producer, announced last week that it plans to lay off 4,500 employees.   But just 4 months ago, Qualcomm was 'scrambling' to hire H-1B applicants [while refusing to interview highly-skilled US citizen workers right at their door, whom the university extension office was employing to teach their cheap, young, pliant H-1B guest-workers].   Likewise with MSFT, which announced last year that it would be laying off 18K workers and introduced plans for another 7,800 cuts three weeks ago, even as it remains an enthusiastic supporter of the resurrected I-Squared bill co-authored by Marco Rubio earlier this year.   That bill would triple the number of H-1B visas to 195K.   It's not hard to imagine that Qualcomm, MSFT, and others [have, for some 15 years, been honing the model Disney recently adopted].   Late last year, Disney, a company with significant 'IT' interests, laid off 250 workers.   They were replaced by H-1B recipients.   And, like some 400 workers laid off from Southern California Edison last year, the Disney employees were required to participate in a 'knowledge transfer' -- i.e., they were forced to train the foreign workers who took their jobs..."
153,794 new/initial H-1B visas were actually issued through consular offices in Fiscal Year 2013, and 162,239 new/initial H-1B visas were issued in FY2014.   Over 2,589,226 H-1B visas have been issued from FY1990 to FY2014 according to the State Department annual reports.   Over 57,600 H-2B visas were issued through consular offices in FY2013, and 68,102 H-2B visas were issued through consular offices in FY2014 according to State Dept. annual reports.   Altogether, over 385,051 H guest-work visas were issued through consular offices in FY2013, and 431,001 H guest-work visas were issued through consular offices in FY2014 according to State Dept. annual reports.   Over 66,700 L-1 guest-work visas were issued via consular offices in FY2013, and over 71,513 were issued in FY2015, according to State Dept. annual reports.   Over 3,946 E-3 guest-work visas were issued in FY2013, and 4,492 E-3 guest-work visas were issued in FY2014, according to State Dept. annual reports.   Over 12,359 O work visas for individuals with "extraordinary" abilities were issued in FY2013, and 12,706 O work visas were issued in FY2014 according to State Dept. annual reports.   Over 534,320 F-1 visas for students were issued in FY2013, and over 595,569 F-1 visas for students were issued in FY2014, according to State Dept. annual reports.

**** another path-way to codswallop ****
"In a thoughtful review of Ann Coulter's splendid new book, iconoclastic Democrat Mickey Kaus lists the open-borders advocates in American politics: '...the entire [Dem/Red/leftist] party, half the Republican party, half (secretly) of the politicians who claim to represent the other half of the Republican party, virtually the entire press (including Fox), virtually all of business, and virtually all big money political donors (including the Kochs!).'   The bit I've bolded helps explain the Trump bump in the GOP polls.   A significant part of the Republican base thinks half their candidates are just schmoozing them to get through primary season, genuflecting toward 'concerns' about border 'enforcement' and huffing and puffing a bit about fences and E-verify.   For example, Marco Rubio sponsored an amnestypalooza in the US senate, but now says he wouldn't vote for his own bill.   Rick Perry gave the in-state tuition rate to illegals and said if you disagree with him 'I don't think you have a heart' (i.e., you're a racist), but he's now withdrawn the charge and says that the difference between him and Trump is that the latter talks the talk and he walks the walk -- because when the [Obummer regime] dissolved the southern border the only guy standing between you and Trump's Mexican rape horde on their flat-bottomed skiffs is the tough-as-nails governor on the north bank of the Rio Grande with his posse of Texas Rangers..."

border jails facing struggles as Obummer regime releases illegal aliens
"Jails built to profit from an illegal immigration boom are weighing down the finances of rural counties in the U.S. sun-belt as border apprehensions slow and the federal government orders the release of more migrants.   In Texas, the heart of a jail-building boom over the past decade, nine of 21 counties that created agencies to issue about $1.3G in municipal bonds to build privately run correctional facilities largely for migrants have defaulted on their debt.   A dozen other facilities from Florida to Louisiana to Arizona, many that housed immigrants, have also defaulted, according to figures from Municipal Market Analytics, a bond-research firm based in Concord, MA.   The slow-down in border detentions is putting a fiscal strain on counties that rushed to build jails in anticipation that a two-decade boom in immigrant in-mates would continue.   Municipalities that banked on those facilities for revenue and jobs are desperate to keep them afloat as a glut of beds goes empty and walls gather dust.   'My fear's always been that this would happen.', said Joel Rodriguez ii, judge of La Salle County, Texas, about 67 miles (107 kilometers) north of the U.S.A.-Mexico border, who is overseeing the fate of a distressed detention center.   'When this facility was sold to the county, they sold it as a money-making facility that was going to be a great economic boon.'..."

"The senate voted 53-46 on the cloture motion -- failing to get the 60 votes needed to stop the Democratic filibuster against the de-funding measure.   Had the cloture vote been approved and the bill passed, and should the House pass its own bill to de-fund Planned Parenthood, [president Barack Hussein Obummer] said he would veto the measure."
So, make them filibuster, already.   Wear them down.   Make them stay in the chamber for hours and hours and hours, while we keep a quorum tag-team moving in and out of the chamber.   And when you get the chance, grill them on why they want to murder babies.   Let Obummer veto it, and then rag on him relentlessly for the next 15 months.

"...nothing that [Obummer] or his underlings do should surprise us, but a report from our friend lieutenant-colonel Allen West left us absolutely astonished, and as West put it 'dog fighting mad and seriously pissed off'.   It appears that during Muslim terrorist Mohammod Abdulazeez's assault on two separate military facilities, including the Navy Operational Support Center in Chattanooga where 4 Marines and 1 active-duty Navy reservist were killed, some of Abdulazeez's targets returned fire.   Our friends at the Western Journalism Center reported early on that the Navy Operational Support Center's commanding officer, lieutenant-commander Timothy White, used his personal firearm to engage the shooter during the attack, according to sources quoted in the Navy Times.   A report from The Washington Post said that one of the Marines killed in the shooting might have been carrying a 9 mm Glock [or, more likely, had it locked in his vehicle] and possibly returned fire on Abdulazeez as well.   Western Journalism's James Beattie reported back on July 22 that lieutenant-commander White could face disciplinary action for violating policy about possessing a weapon on a federal facility that was supposed to be a gun-free zone.   And on Saturday, August 1, Allen West confirmed that the United States Navy is indeed bringing charges against lieutenant-commander Timothy White for illegally discharging a firearm on federal property, and apparently an intermediary was checking to see if it would be possible for lieutenant-commander White to reach out to lieutenant-colonel West.   West is apparently on board -- and so are we -- to do anything he can to help rally support for lieutenant-commander Timothy White.   Here's what lieutenant-colonel West said about the situation lieutenant-commander White is facing:   'What kind of freaking idiots are in charge of our Armed Forces -- pardon me, our unArmed Forces?   What would they prefer that Abdulazeez had been able to kill all the Marines and Sailors at the Naval Support Reserve Center?   Let me draw an interesting contrast: Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus is more concerned about lifting the ban on transgendered Sailors.   Mabus has a problem in that for the first time since 2007 the US Navy will not have a Carrier Battle Group operating in the Persian Gulf.   But this knucklehead has no problem with the Navy seeking to destroy the career of a Sailor, a commander of an installation, returning fire against an Islamic jihadist attack.   I do not care if it was his personal weapon, he deserves a medal for facing the enemy.   Folks, this has become the [Obummer] military that will not implement policies for our men and women in uniform to be protected -- but will punish them if they do protect themselves.   What ever happened to the Navy of John Paul Jones, Farragut, Halsey, and Nimitz?   What has happened in our America where we believe that our men and women in uniform -- especially the commanders -- are just targets for these damn Islamic jihadists?'   Anyone who figured if White broke any rules the Navy would want that inconvenience to go away in the aftermath of Abdulazeez's successful terrorist attack against the American homeland must have been suffering a serious bout of amnesia and forgotten what [Barack Hussein Obummer] is all about -- normalizing the abnormal and fundamentally transforming America.   Here's what needs to happen says Allen West, and we agree: Flood the phone of SecNav Ray Mabus and SecDef Carter and ask them whose side they're.   Demand the charges being brought against lieutenant-commender White be immediately dropped.   They probably won't like real live citizens actually calling them, but to make it easy, here are some handy Pentagon phone numbers:   Secretary of Defense Ash Carter: (703) 692-7100.   Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus: (703) 695-3131.   Defense Department Public Affairs Office: (703) 697-9312.   Lieutenant-colonel Allen West's SitRep on the charges against lieutenant-commander Timothy White.   James Beatty's report for the Western Journalism Center where the story of the potential charges against White first broke."

Scott Walker, Ted Cruz, Mike Huckabee, Donald Trump, Rand Paul, Rick Perry, Rick Santorum, John Kasich... just be yourselves
"Much of this past week's political news has involved a pundit of some sort addressing some version of the following question:   'How will the other Republican presidential candidates prepare for the first debate with Donald Trump on the stage?'   Leave it to the inside the Beltway political class and their consultants and 'strategists' to reduce the preparation for the first Republican presidential debate to the equivalent of a freshman biology exam -- all cramming of facts and formulas and no actual understanding of the principles involved.   Trump isn't running at the head of the pack because he knows who the President of Ubeki-beki-beki-stan-stan is, as Herman Cain put it so memorably back in 2011 in the lead-up to the 2012 presidential primary season.   He's leading in the polls because he's speaking for millions of country class Americans who want their country back, and are furious at the 'fundamental change' a lawless president has imposed upon it in the face of feckless -- no make that cowardly -- Republican failure to execute their constitutional duty to rein-in a usurping executive..."

no second thoughts about using nuclear bomb at Hiroshima and Nagasaki
Washington DC Times
"The pointless debate continues.   As reliable as the arrival of the scorching heat and drenching humidity of August, comes the debate (mostly by academics) over whether the United States is guilty of moral outrage for having dropped the atomic bombs on Japan on 1945 Aug. 6 and 9, to put an end to the carnage of World War 2...   But for the majority, then and now, the Bomb was a gift of Providence, developed to stop the slaughter of the most horrific war of history.   Hiroshima was payback, too, for Pearl Harbor, Wake Island, the Bataan death march, the rape of China, the ravenous plunder of the Philippines, Korea and the islands that suffered in the heat, disease and squalid butchery of the South Pacific.   The plunderers and butchers had it coming...   History, unrevised and served without side dishes, reveals that President Truman, a man with a tutored Christian conscience, did the right thing.   Until the end of a long life, he never repented of his decision to drop the bomb.   Nor should he have."
And since then, Japanese have become friends, and relatives.

legalistic and acamedic equality is non-sense
Jewish World Review
"A particular act or policy might not have a discriminatory intent, but that doesn't let you off the hook.   If it has a disproportionately negative impact on so-called protected classes, it is said to have a disparate impact and risks being prohibited by law.   The uninformed assumption made by judges, lawyers and academics is that but for the fact of racial and sex discrimination, we all would be distributed across occupations, educational backgrounds and other socio-economic characteristics according to our percentages in the population.   Such a vision is absolute nonsense.   There is no evidence, anywhere, at any time, that but for the fact of discrimination, there would be proportional representation among various socio-economic characteristics.   Let's look at some disproportionalities, with an eye toward discovering the causes and then deciding what to do about them.   If one were to list the world's top 30 violinists of the 20th century, at least 25 of them would be of Jewish ancestry.   Another disparity is that despite the fact that Jews are less than 3% of the U.S. population and a mere 0.2% of the world's population, during the 20th century, Jews were 35% of American and 22% of the world's Nobel Prize winners.   Are Jews taking violin excellence and Nobel Prizes that belong to other ethnicities?   If America's diversity worshippers see under-representation as probative of racial discrimination, what do they propose be done about over-representation?...   Not a single player in the NHL's history can boast of having been born and raised in Hawaii, Louisiana or Mississippi..."

"Voters First Forum": 2 winners and a bunch of losers
"The 'Voters First Forum' Republican presidential candidate 'debate' last night had 2 clear winners and a bunch of losers -- with Donald Trump, who wasn't even there, and Ted Cruz being the winners, and most of the other candidates, who appeared to be scripted phonies, coming up way short in comparison.   Of course it is a rare person who can take 6 or 7 minutes of TV air-time and make a lasting favorable impression, but that's an important part of the winnowing process in this large Republican field.   And while there was no actual 'debate' give the organizers some credit; the one-on-one format of questions from a moderator with no give and take among the candidates did allow each candidate to put their best foot forward.   But what it also showed is that most of them are Lilliputians compared to Trump and Cruz.   First, a quick look at the highlights and low points of the program:   [Senator Lindsey Grahamnesty's] decision to hit [Hitlery Rotten Clinton] with Bill Clinton's Monica Lewinsky scandal was the most egregious example of a bottom-tier candidate desperate to find a break-through moment.   We keep saying that campaigning against Clinton scandals will not win the election -- it is [Hitlery Rotten Clinton's] policies that are the scariest thing about her -- and the zero on the applause meter for Graham's comment showed we are right.   Governor John Kasich of Ohio coopting George H.W. Bush's legacy of 'compassionate conservatism' and subtly hitting [Yebbie Booosh] was a high point that many probably missed.   Kasich is clearly angling to be, as Politico's Eli Stokols put it, [Yebbie Booosh] without baggage, and he's going out of his way to emphasize his own blue-collar background -- an implied contrast to the Bush dynasty.   Another low point was Marco Rubio's flip-flop (again) on illegal immigration and his support for amnesty for illegal aliens.   'Legal immigration must be based on merit...   on whether you are coming to be an American, rather than just to live in America.', Rubio said, trying his best to gloss over his infamous 'Gang of Eight' [8 gangsters] amnesty bill which had no mention in it of 'merit' and would have allowed millions of unvetted illegal aliens to stay in the country, and qualify for welfare and other taxpayer-funded benefits.   [Yebbie Booosh's] performance was strangely flat for the Republican establishment's preferred candidate -- but then again content-free is how the Republican political class prefers their nominee.   Bush was about as exciting as a bowl of oatmeal.   His bland characterization of the failures of [Obummer's] policies against Muslim expansionism that, 'We let our guard down a little bit in the fight against terrorism in recent years', walked right into Ted Cruz's hay-maker Ronald Reagan allusion that 'We'll win by painting in bold colors...'   There was nothing bold or colorful in [Yebbie Booosh's] plodding performance last night.   There were some other good quips and quotes; from Bobby Jindal about Bernie Sanders at least being honest enough to call himself a socialist; from Carly Fiorina about having met more world leaders than any other presidential candidate, With the possible exception of Hillary Clinton, although I didn't just do photo ops., and Rick Perry poking fun at himself while listing what federal agencies he'd eliminate.   But Cruz and Trump dominated the show -- Cruz by standing head-and-shoulders above the rest as a communicator and Trump by being the elephant in the room no one would talk about.   One of the advantages of the Voters First Forum format was that it allowed more than a quick one-liner -- the candidates had to actually string together a coherent paragraph -- and in that regard Ted Cruz shown.   Even POLITICO, not normally Cruz-friendly territory said:   'And then there was Cruz: calm, crisp and comfortable.   The former Princeton debate champion fired away in a hohum, folksy twang.   I believe this [Obummer's treaty to help Iran develop nuclear weapons] is the gravest threat facing America., he said.   And he defended his rhetoric, which some have panned for being overheated in just as a calm a tone.   Let me tell you something., he said quietly.   Speaking the truth is not rhetoric.   At the outset of the official debate season, it's clear that Cruz is head and shoulders above his rivals as a communicator, promising the audience, We'll win by painting in bold colors and we’ll reignite the promise of America and blasting the Washington cartel.   He promises to make 2016 a referendum on [ObummerDoesn'tCare].   The only question is whether he's too good -- whether his practiced cadences, dramatic pauses and innate theatricality add to his authenticity or undermine it.'   Our take is they add to Cruz's authenticity and make him arguably the best Republican communicator since Ronald Reagan.   But the real winner was Donald Trump -- who now holds twice the market share of his nearest rival in New Hampshire and who won last night by winning the comparison with the rest of the candidates.   Where the Republican establishment and the political media see bombast, country class voters see passion for the core issues, especially illegal immigration, that concern them.   Where was the passion in the rest of the candidates, save Cruz?   Where the Republican establishment and the political media see abrasiveness, country class voters see truth-telling, especially on the cost in lives and quality of life in Democrat 'sanctuary cities' and from [Obummer's unconstitutional and illegal] policies [to give amnesty to illegal aliens].   Where was that kind of truth-telling in the rest of the candidates, save Cruz?   And where the Republican establishment and the political media see a 'shoot from the lip' unguided missile in Trump, country class voters see integrity, and a willingness to challenge the establishment policies that are wrecking the country.   Where was that kind of integrity in the rest of the candidates, save Cruz?..."

"Voters First Forum": illegal aliens, border security
"Senator [Lindsey Grahamnesty] of South Carolina got in what was arguably the zinger of the night when he declared himself uniquely qualified to take on [Dem/Red/leftist Hitlery Rotten Clinton] in a general election match-up in 2016 November.   Clinton is currently the front-runner among Dems/leftists/Reds seeking the presidential nomination.   'I am fluent in Clinton-speak', [Grahamnesty] said, proceeding to bring up the Monica Lewinsky scandal that jeopardized Bill Clinton's presidency in 1996 and [Hitlery Rotten Clinton's illegal] use of a private e-mail server while conducting official business as secretary of state.   'When Bill says he didn't have sex with that woman, he did.', [Grahamnesty] said.   'When (Hillary Clinton) tells us: Trust me, you have all the e-mails you need., we haven't even scratched the surface...   I understand this crowd.'   Trump, who leads polls of Republican voters in the 2016 race for a presidential nominee, declined to appear at the event out of pique over an editorial written about him by the New Hampshire Union Leader newspaper, one of the sponsors of the event.   But the issue he has repeatedly railed about, illegal immigration, was one of the most talked-about at the forum, and all the candidates who addressed the issue said a solution must be found.   All stressed the need for ensuring the U.S.A. border is secure before taking other steps to deal with the issue, which most agreed should lead to a legal guest-worker program.   While Democratic [president Barack Obummer] says great strides have been made in securing the border, former Texas governor Rick Perry begged to differ.   'It's like a serious wound.   You want to staunch the flow.', said Perry, whose state shares a long border with Mexico...   Former senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania said it would have helped Trump and 2 other no-show candidates, Mike Huckabee, a former Arkansas governor, and Jim Gilmore, a former Virginia governor, if they had been there..."

"Voters First Forum": immigration dominates
"Immigration as a whole -- both legal and illegal immigration, high numbers of which concern Americans -- dominated the first GOP presidential candidate forum in Manchester, New Hampshire, at Saint Anselm College...   immigration is the number one issue on Americans' minds heading into the 2016 presidential primary process.   Moderator Jack Heath, of WGIR-AM and the host of 'New Hampshire Today', opened the forum with former Texas governor Rick Perry by asking three questions of Perry about immigration.   He noted before he did so that after surveying voters in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, on the most important issues to them, 'topping the list' were 2: a main-stay issue, the economy, and an issue that usually isn't as high a priority in presidential campaigns, immigration.   After Perry stumbled through answers to them making the first of a couple major gaffes, Heath moved on to the second candidate: Former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum.   Santorum, who supports a 25% reduction in ['low-skill'] immigration until the economy is under control, made sure to bring that up when he was asked about the issue..."

some economists criticize Donald Trump's promise to bring jobs back from Red China
"Since the beginning of 2000, the U.S. economy has lost 5M manufacturing jobs.   A study published last year by the National Bureau of Economic Research found that between 2M and 2.4M jobs were lost to competition from [Red China] from 1999 to 2011.   Announcing his presidential bid June 16, Trump declared: 'I'll bring back our jobs from [Red China], from Mexico, from Japan, from so many places.   I'll bring back our jobs, and I'll bring back our money.' [But he did not say how he would go about doing so.]   Economists were unimpressed.   'It's completely implausible.', says former Federal Reserve vice-chairman Alan Blinder, a Princeton University economist who has studied the off-shoring of American jobs.   Companies shifted low-skill [and high-skill] jobs to [Red China from the late 1980s through] the 2000s because American workers couldn't compete with Chinese workers earning around $1 an hour.   Now [Red China] itself is losing low-wage manufacturing jobs to poorer countries such as Bangladesh and VietNam.   If America tried to block foreign-made products and make everything at home, prices would sky-rocket [though they certainly did not fall when the work was off-shored] and foreign countries would likely retaliate...   But there's an even bigger problem for those who want to restore U.S. manufacturing employment (now 12.3M) to its 1979 peak of 19.6M.   Technology has taken many of those jobs for good.   Today's high-tech factories employ a fraction of the workers they used to [though they decreased capital/automation and increased labor when the work was off-shored].   General Motors, for example, employed 600K in the 1970s.   It has 216K now -- and sells more cars than ever...   That's especially true with U.S. unemployment at a 7-year low 5.3%, a rate close to what economists consider full employment [though, historically it was thought to be about 4% overall, and 0.6% in fields like law and software product engineering; historial USA employment/population ratios suggest we have an aggregate jobs dearth of some 25M to 31M; and we've been losing not only manufacturing jobs, but high-tech product and services jobs]...   Prasad says U.S. policy-makers should focus more on investing in things that will improve America's competitiveness over the long haul -- schools, roads and airports, for example.   And Blinder says the U.S.A. should do more to re-train American workers who lose their jobs to foreign competition.   Companies often decide where to locate factories and hire people on factors that can change: labor costs, energy bills, transportation expenses, proximity to customers..."

senator Jeff Sessions lays out USA's mandate for GOP debates on immigration & trade
"Sessions, who's widely viewed as the intellectual leader of the Republican Party, told Breitbart News that if Republicans first hash out immigration correctly, they will be able to run the tables and drive the Democrats from the White House.   'There's no issue that will bring in more new voters to the Republican side than immigration.', Sessions said.   'Our nominee needs to be crystal clear that we will end the illegality and we will produce an immigration system that serves the interest of the American citizens and that we can be proud of.   The American people want to hear that.   They have a right to hear that.   Politicians have been promising that for decades and it's time for somebody to deliver on that.   So I think that will attract new voters.'   High [vastly excessive] immigration levels and 'unwise trade policies', Sessions said, have contributed directly to the severely lowered wages and workforce participation rates—perhaps the worst since the 1970s.   It's up to the next Republican nominee -- and the GOP as a whole -- to convince Americans they will actually fix this problem rather than kicking the can down the road again.   'Wages are down over $3K from the recession in 2008 [while retail prices have continued to soar], we've got the lowest percentage of Americans working since the 1970s, wages are stuck at 1970s levels, we've had this huge flow of immigrants and we've had unwise trade policies.', Sessions said.   'Those things, the American people instinctively know, have been adverse to their financial well-being.   They want to see their leaders speak up on them.   I think that the Republican nominee should say something like We are looking at these numbers too, and they're bad.   I understand your concerns.   We can get a trade policy that ensures fairness and reciprocity and that are not one-way agreements and that we can and will establish an immigration policy that serves your interest and is honorable and we can be proud of.'   If Republicans succeed in clearly articulating what Sessions is talking about—and campaigning aggressively on it, like now representative Dave Brat (R-VA) did against now former House majority-leader Eric Cantor -- Sessions expects that the Republican Party can cut substantially into the Democratic Party's voting base, and easily win elections like the White House and other races in landslides like haven't been seen in a very long time...   When American high-tech companies like Southern California Edison, Disney, Infosys and more keep laying off American workers to replace them with lower-paid foreigners brought in by the American government on H-1B visas, Sessions said that's a travesty.   What makes it worse, he noted, is that new technological advances in robotics and automation have replaced American workers in manufacturing nationwide—more proof there's no need for any more importing of cheap foreign labor..."

senator Chuck Schumer's (and his cousin Amy's) empathy for some victims of violence, but not others
"...Accompanying Ms. Schumer at the press conference was her distant cousin, Chuck, the [leftist] Dem senator from New York.   My moral and intellectual dissonance alarms began wailing like banshees when I saw the senator take the podium.   This is the same man who, along with another senator, fellow Democrat Dick Durbin of Illinois, chose to absent himself from a senate Judiciary committee hearing on July 21 for victims of violence perpetrated by criminal aliens.   It appears that the senator's empathy for victims of violence is remote, abstract, and only applicable when it serves a pet cause; one that includes gun control, but unambiguously does not go so far as disapproval for state and local governments that, rather than surrender alien criminals to federal immigration authorities for deportation, choose to release them to the streets to reoffend with a wide variety of crimes including murder, rape, and pedophilic abuse.   The moral and intellectual disconnect of such a position is huge. Does the good senator think that guns fire themselves?"

3 things the media are pushing that are not true about the 1st GOP presidential debate
"Going into the August 6 Fox News Republican presidential debate the media is already pushing three lines that are demonstrably false:   1.   Everyone on the stage is a 'conservative'.   2.   The candidates must abide by 'the 11th Commandment' (and the media and Republican establishment [and RINOs] will be the self-appointed enforcers of it).   3.   The debate is all about Donald Trump, who is bound to make a 'gaffe'.   Let's dispense with the first un-truth -- not everyone on the stage is a 'conservative'.   The reality is that many of the candidates on the stage, like [Yebbie Booosh] and Marco Rubio, are what political commentator Stu Rothenberg once called 'pragmatic conservatives'.   A 'pragmatic conservative' is a typical establishment Republican [or RINO] who talks a good game, but when it comes to actually delivering on the conservative agenda, particularly in the areas of the growth of government and spending, their so-called 'pragmatism' always results in more spending and more government [and more depredations by the left].   Despite the claims of most of the candidates who will be on the stage Thursday, there are only 2 or 3 candidates with legitimate roots in the conservative and liberty movements; senator Ted Cruz, senator Rand Paul and arguably governor Scott Walker..."

big questions for GOP debate
"In 2008, then-candidate [Barack Hussein Obummer] promised to deliver the 'fundamental transformation of the nation'.   Has he (and the left) succeeded in changing the very nature of America, away from a self-reliant society built on individual freedom and toward a government-dependency society built on class warfare and radical wealth redistribution?   The left controls all levers of power in American culture: movies, television, music, academia, literature, news and the media.   Currently, it also controls much of the federal government.   How do we even begin to counter its overwhelming influence?   Many Americans think that the most significant split in the country is not between Republicans and Democrats, right and left, but between the elite ruling class and the rest of us.   How would you restore the power back to the American people?   Do you believe that the majority of the [losership] class -- of both parties -- is more interested in gaining and preserving power than actually solving the nation's problems? If elected, how can we trust that you will resist that temptation?   How is the break-down of respect for authority endangering the country?   This has been the worst economic recovery since World War 2.   During the Reagan recovery, growth rates were between 6% and 9%, with hundreds of thousands of jobs created each month.   In fact, there was one month during which 1M jobs were created.   Is that kind of recovery still possible? If so, how?   Given the gravitational pull of the federal Leviathan, how can we bring government spending under control?   U.S.A. policy used to require periods of time to elapse between immigrant waves to allow for assimilation, ie., Americanization.   Over the past 50 years, that policy has ceased.   Would you resurrect it, and if so, how?   Do you believe it's better for a great power to be feared than loved?   Upon becoming president, you will inherit an Iran that will either possess nuclear weapons or be close to it.   How would you manage that threat?   Iran has allies and proxies in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, Hamas and Hezbollah.   It is working with the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.   It is making mischief in Bahrain in an attempt to topple the government and remove the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet.   How would you halt Iranian expansionism?   The threats to our electrical grid -- from an electromagnetic pulse attack launched by Iran or other capable enemy to a natural occurrence from sun flares -- are particularly dangerous, and yet congress will not commit to spending the relatively modest amount (and estimated $3G) to safeguard our electrical grid.   Will you?   Our Islamic jihadi enemies -- from the regime in Tehran to the Islamic State to al Qaeda to Hezbollah, Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood -- say they are engaged in a holy war against the West in general and the United States and Israel in particular.   Do you believe we are in a holy war? If so, how would you fight it, both militarily and ideologically?   Jihad comes in several different forms: the violent jihad, an immediate threat, and the stealth jihad, the longer-term threat of Western infiltration by Islamist groups like the Muslim Brotherhood that operate largely through front groups.   How would you counter the growing stealth jihad here at home?   Our Constitution is not built to deal with this kind of threat: a religiously-driven enemy which uses our rights and freedoms against us.   How would you reconcile defending the Constitution while fighting an enemy using it to destroy us?   Given Vladimir Putin's successes in rebuilding Mother Russia, do you believe we are in a new Cold War, and if so, how would you wage it?"

"Three months ago, I blogged about the appointment of a new principal legal officer at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE): an attorney from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) who had gotten involved in a cover-up of sexual harassment and scandal at EPA, but who apparently still had enough 'mentors' in the administration that the decision was made to launder her to another organization in lieu of discipline or pushing her out of government -- even though she possessed no experience whatsoever in the practice of immigration law.   I noted that this dearth of experience extended to the new head of ICE herself, Sarah Saldana.   Well, it seems the White House also was concerned, although clearly their concerns took a different direction than mine.   In mid-July, the media reported that another attorney has now been hired as an aide to Saldana, one with plenty of immigration experience.   She is Mary Elizabeth Cedillo-Pereira, a 'Dallas immigration lawyer known for vigorous defense of immigrants [who is] well-known in the immigration bar for championing initiatives aimed at young immigrants who call themselves dreamers.'   (To get a sense of Cedillo-Pereira's views, see this op-ed for the Dallas Morning News.)   Under any other presidential administration, appointing an advocate for illegal immigrants into a senior adviser's position at an enforcement agency might seem like a curious choice.   But not this one; clearly the intent is to put the foxes in charge of the hen house.   According to the Dallas newspaper, one justification for the appointment is that 'Saldana has been criticized by activists for not being compassionate enough in her agency's dealings with unauthorized immigrants who have U.S. citizen children.'   I find that particularly amusing; the US ICE director has proven herself so thoroughly domesticated that when she made a verbal 'misstep' in front of a congressional subcommittee by actually admitting the agency needed legislative help in sustaining its critical use of detainers to hold criminal aliens, she was forced to withdraw the statement with a 'clarification' less than 24 hours later.   Of course we know what the result of state and local governments' refusal to honor ICE detainers is: murder and mayhem.   But meanwhile, as to Ms. Cedillo-Pereira's exact duties?   I just checked the official ICE website a few minutes ago and she is not to be found anywhere on the 'Who We Are' leadership board of the agency.   One assumes her official duties will be as whisperer-in-chief and go-between for Saldana with the White House's immigration wizard behind the scenes, Cecilia Munoz, formerly of the National Council of [the Racists]."

confession: I bought stock in an off-shoring and cross-border bodyshopping company -- and its price doubled
"In order to keep track of one of the patterns in the immigration field a couple of years ago, I bought 100 shares of Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation (CTSH).   It is a U.S.A.-based [& India-based off-shoring and cross-border bodyshopping] firm, best known for hiring large numbers of H-1Bs and then re-selling their services to other companies -- at a nice mark-up -- to do computer-related work.   My notion was that I might learn something about the H-1B program by simply looking at the CTSH stock price from time to time, and by reading its annual reports.   It would be both effortless and, seemingly, perfectly innocent.   Cognizant is a big player in the out-sourcing business, but neither the largest nor the worst.   In the 4 years 2011-2014 it ranked as the ninth-largest H-1B employer in the nation by filing 8,657 labor certification attestations for H-1Bs (probably using only a fraction of them as is the industry pattern) according to the myvisajobs website.   The same source, for the same years, indicates that CTSH sought 3,945 green cards, far more than the other outsourcing firms, such as Infosys, Tata, and Wipro.   (Let's give the firm half a cheer for that.)   Back to the stock: On 2013 May 10, I bought 100 shares of CTSH at $68.10 for a total of a little over $6,800; it became a subset of my modest collection of stocks and bonds.   The stock price rocked along over the last year or so, generally getting higher as time passed, and then the firm decided to split its stock, usually a sign of corporate prosperity.   For me it meant that I now had, without effort or cost on my part, 200 shares of CTSH.   At publication time this morning the (once-split) stock traded at just over $68, meaning that my little academic exercise had produced a 100% profit.   I had doubled my money in a tad more than two years.   My shares in the firm are now worth about $13,600.   I felt a little like I had put my money, deliberately, into a munitions/tobacco corporation that traded extensively with North Korea, or that I had bought into a successful casino.   It was an uncomfortable feeling.   This little story, although anecdotal in nature, suggests that we should listen to the pleas of Silicon Valley and the out-sourcing firms with a jaundiced ear.   They, like Walt Disney & Company (which hired Cognizant to bring in the H-1Bs that replaced Americans earlier this year), claim they need even more H-1Bs than the 85K-plus we take each year, because of a 'shortage' of Americans willing and able to do programming.   But Cognizant seems to be doing just fine with the current level of admissions, thank you very much."

concerns about Obummer's new "Priority Enforcement Program" (PEP)
"The implementation of ICE's new Priority Enforcement Program (PEP) is a major setback to rule of law in our country.   It further scales back immigration enforcement by ICE and it explicitly facilitates sanctuary jurisdictions in obstructing ICE efforts to take custody of criminal aliens.   This has enormous implications for public safety in Texas.   PEP has been described as a program to focus on criminal aliens.   But in fact, PEP will result in the release of even more criminal aliens back to the streets, with local communities -- and especially law enforcement agencies -- left to deal with the consequences.   While the official roll out started July 2, ICE actually started implementing the program shortly after the president's announcement of the program as part of his sweeping and controversial [unconstitutional and illegal] executive actions of 2014 November.   Already ICE arrests in Texas are down 28% over last year.   Criminal alien arrests are also down 25% since this program was implemented.   It cannot fairly be described as an over-zealous dragnet of enforcement as some opponents have alleged.   The changes that PEP brings are significant, and Texas sheriffs and government officials are right to be concerned.   We are already dealing with the fall-out from suppressed enforcement.   Even though the successful Secure Communities program gave ICE the capability to identify more criminal aliens than ever before, still the prioritization policies resulted in the release of 80K convicted criminal aliens since 2013, 170K cases of criminal aliens encountered but not charged by ICE since 2013, and 10K criminal aliens released by sanctuary jurisdictions since last year..."

mixed messages from US ICE on immigration enforcement
"Univision, the most-watched network in July, broadcast a report yesterday on US ICE's new Priority Enforcement Program (PEP).   The Univision segment (in Spanish) opens with the anchor's introduction to US ICE's new alert to immigrants on the dangers of crossing the U.S.A.-Mexico border.   According to the newscaster, ICE’s forewarning resulted from a slight increase in arrests at the border.   The segment then moves on to US ICE spokeswoman Gail Montenegro.   In Spanish, she relays a warning to immigrants: 'immigration laws, here, have not changed'.   As Montenegro continues, her message becomes clear: ICE wants to ensure that prospective illegal immigrants know it is not loosening enforcement efforts and they will suffer the consequences of breaking the law.   The warning goes further as Montenegro cautions her audience to be wary of the lies told by 'coyotes' (the colloquial term for individuals smuggling aliens into the U.S.A.).   Montenegro reiterates that the law applies to all: families, women, and children.   Unfortunately, US ICE's message is contradicted by US ICE's actions in implementing PEP, a program that focuses almost exclusively on criminal aliens -- a distinction Montenegro failed to mention and was only briefly mentioned by the reporter.   In reality, PEP doesn't even do that very well; it 'further scales back immigration enforcement by US ICE', according to the Center's Jessica Vaughan, 'and it explicitly facilitates sanctuary jurisdictions in obstructing US ICE efforts to take custody of criminal aliens'.   At best, the segment painted a muddled image of U.S.A. immigration policy, sending the message that the [United States of America] itself is un-clear about what is lawful and what is not."

"Migrants rather suddenly changed their tactics last week, on the 29th of June, when together 2K stormed the channel tunnel in Calais.   Police were overwhelmed, and said at the time they thought the attack was planned in the camp.   Since then, 200 migrants coordinated to attempt to walk through the tunnel, hundreds then performed a sit-in style protest, and some have taken to shouting familiar slogans like 'open the borders' and 'we are all human' [yes, illegal alien humans].   Others have become more violent, attacking French police.   This weekend far-left activists held a demonstration called 'No More Migrant Deaths' in Folkestone, England, when many may also be encouraging migrants to take dangerous and illegal measures to enter the country..."

Texas law-suit to restore 1 citizen, 1 vote in districting: Evenwel v. Abbott
"...The plaintiffs in Evenwel v. Abbott are challenging the traditional way of drawing electoral districts, which they argue has been unconstitutionally cutting off the political power of rural and suburban voters for decades...   Because Texas, like most states, draws its districts around residents and not voters, more districts get created in urban areas where non-citizens tend to cluster.   The effect is that urban districts, which are generally more liberal, get more representative seats than they deserve and the votes of citizens in those districts have more 'weight' than votes in districts elsewhere.   As the Immigration Reform Law Institute shows in its friend-of-the-court brief supporting the plaintiffs, a look at the census figures in Texas's senate districts seems to confirm this.   The Republican-controlled first senate district, where Sue Evenwel lives, has a citizen voting-age population (CVAP) of 568,780.   By contrast, districts 6 and 27, both largely Hispanic and [leftist], have respective CVAPs of only 372,420 and 376,495.   This means that the people who actually vote in the latter districts are getting the same amount of representation as the voters of District 1 even though their numbers are far fewer.   This also means there's less competition in these Hispanic- and [leftist-dominated] districts.   In the 2012 state-senate election in Evenwel's district, 294,353 votes were cast.   But in districts 6 and 27, only 245,032 voters combined showed up.   As the Cato Institute summarizes in its friend-of-the-court brief supporting the plaintiffs, 'a relatively small constituency of eligible Hispanic voters in other districts have their votes over-weighted and over-valuated, effectively diluting the votes of eligible voters in districts like 1 and 4'...   Will such suits become commonplace in states across the country? If current mass-immigration rates continue, maybe so."

history's complexity makes retroactive morality difficult
"Ivy League enrollment figures suggest that some of these universities have capped the number of Asian students.   Is this really much different than the effort to curtail Jewish enrollment at Ivy League schools in the 1920s?...   Under the new morality, should we not also condemn the Aztec king Montezuma as a Hitler-like war criminal? No society prior to the Nazi Third Reich had so carefully organized and institutionalized the machinery of mass death that each year executed tens of thousands of sacrificial human captives from conquered neighboring tribes.   Perhaps San Diego State University should stop using the nickname 'Aztecs' for its sports teams, given the fact that the Aztecs practiced slave-owning, human sacrifice and ritual cannibalism.   The Zulus are often portrayed as saintly indigenous people, brutally colonized by rapacious British imperialists.   That's not quite the whole story.   Earlier in their pre-British history, the Zulus' king Shaka adopted the sort of military imperialism and internal police state that would have made Josef Stalin proud.   By the time of his death in 1828, Shaka's army had killed more than 1M Africans through systematic imperial conquest and mass executions..."

Planned Parenthood: the slaughter of babies
Washington DC Times
"...The cavalier demeanor of those who profit from this slaughter is chilling, and the moral punch in the nose to the Democratic Party is excruciating.   That's because Planned Parenthood is virtually a branch of the Democratic Party.   It has a lock on the federal treasury to the tune of $500M per year.   It pays for or performs more than 325K abortions a year, which is about one-third of all abortions in America.   It contributes heavily to the campaigns of Democratic office seekers.   You can see the cycle.   Even though federal law has prohibited the use of federal funds for abortions for nearly 18 years, money is fungible.   The Planned Parenthood folks may be baby killers, but they are not dumb.   They know how to dedicate federal funds for maternal health and free up maternal health funds for the slaughter of babies -- and make it all look legal..."

Clarence Thomas
"...Here is what one of Justice Thomas' admirers -- Dan McLaughlin in The Weekly Standard -- had to say about him, 'unfashionable' as it may be in 'sophisticated' circles to give this Doubting Thomas his due:   'Thomas is not so far removed from his upbringing in segregated Georgia that he cannot remember what it was like to live in a place and time in which the government was staffed and run by people who had no intention of treating you fairly.   Two strategies are available to a citizen confronted by such a government.   One is to keep for himself as large a space as possible free of the government, in which to exercise true liberty.   The other is to insist on the punctilious observance of the letter of the law.   The whims of administrative agencies and the discretion of judges to fashion new rights and rules according to their own policy preferences threaten both of these strategies...   It is perhaps a supreme irony, but a fitting one, that the man most concerned with keeping alight the flame of these old concepts of liberty and dignity is the justice of the Supreme Court who grew up under a government that wished to accord him neither liberty nor dignity.'"

the poll you won't hear debated tonight
"You won't hear about this from the establishment media, but Pat Caddell recently conducted a national survey to get a flavor of opinions following the recent Supreme Court decision on same-sex 'marriage'.   The poll was a solid national survey of 800 respondents with an overall margin of error of + or - 3.46 percentage points and it yielded some very surprising results -- which is probably why it has been ignored by the establishment media who have already pronounced all matters related to same-sex 'marriage' to be settled now that the Supreme Court has mandated the practice in all 50 states.   What Caddell found was that there is an overwhelming sense on the part of American voters that they want to find common ground in order to protect both the expression of religious freedom and the rights of homosexuals.   What is clearly being signaled according to Caddell is an aversion to having an all-out political and cultural war between these competing interests.   That being said, when push comes to shove, the American people, in vast majorities, come down on the side of protecting religious freedom.   When Caddell asked if there can be a commonsense solution that both protects religious freedom and gay and lesbian couples from discrimination, 71% agreed and 20% disagreed.   However, when asked which was more important, by a 4 to 1 ratio, voters said protecting religious liberty (31%) over protecting gay and lesbian rights (8%).   But over half of respondents said BOTH were important (53%).   Two questions were asked in relation to the role of government in regulating these issues.   More than two-thirds (68%) disagreed that the federal and state government should be able to require by law a private citizen to provide a service or their property for an event that is contrary to their religious beliefs.   Only 18% agreed.   Indeed, 51% strongly disagreed with this.   When asked whether it should be up to the federal government to determine what constitutes legitimate religious beliefs only 11% agreed and a massive 79% disagreed.   Indeed, even two-thirds of those on the left of the segmentation disagreed.   The following question was asked on the poll: 'Suppose a Christian wedding photographer has deeply held religious beliefs opposing same-sex marriage.   If a same-sex couple wanted to hire the photographer for their wedding, should the photographer have the right to say no?'   Overall 82%, the highest percentage on the poll, said, yes, the photographer had the right to say no.   Among the segmented 'center' 84%, and among the right 97% said the photographer had the right to say no.   Even among those on the left, 40% said the photographer had the right to say no, 10% were undecided with the other half saying the photographer did not have the right to say no.   Further, we found a majority believing that the military has no right to regulate the religious actions of military chaplains.   The second part of the poll dealt with spirituality, belief in God, church attendance, and religious affiliation.   The results actually were illuminating and countered some general perceptions in the media.   If Caddell had followed what most polls do by asking major denominations the poll would have had 24% in the category of none/no preference.     This category has been rising in recent years leading to a superficial, but understandable, conclusion that close to one-fifth of the people are non-religious or non-believing.   However, in this survey Caddell specifically asked all religious denominations as well as Agnostic, Atheist and 'no preference'.   He found that 7% answered Agnostic (4.9%) or Atheist (2.6%).   Thus, that 7% of those that were not sure whether God exists or believe there is no God is a lot less than normally assumed.   Of those 13% who were 'no preference' over three-fifths are spiritual and express a belief in God.   Indeed, in a follow up question to them, 71% identify as Christian.   Therefore, the vast majority of the growing category of none/no preference are Christians who are religious, but reject any specific organized denomination of the Christian religion.   On the issue of the wedding photographer an amazing 80% of Agnostic/Atheists said the photographer had the right to say no.   So, if 82% of Americans believe the religious liberty of individuals to follow their beliefs should be protected and Christian wedding photographers and others with scruples against participating in same-sex 'marriages' should have the right to say 'NO', why is it that religious freedom has suddenly become the new 'third rail' in establishment Republican politics?..."

"While U.S. secretary of state [the haughty] John Kerry [who served in VietNam, a.k.a.

"The issues he represents cannot be subordinated to party.   One wishes he had hammered the immigration point in that first question, by saying: 'Any candidate who doesn't respond to the threat of uncontrolled immigration cannot represent me.'   He'd better understand that's his signature issue.   Other than that, he sounds informed, smart, and presidential.   Brilliant on [ObummerDoesn'tCare].   Brilliant on giving money to politicians.   Brilliant on immigration.   Cruz did the best after Trump, including pointing out that he was the only one to vote against Rubio's amnesty, which he called 'Schumer's amnesty'.   Walker was good, but his best moment came after the debate when he made a point with Hannity of saying he wanted to do something about our uncontrolled legal immigration, too.   After that, the rest of them were hapless..."

carrying arms in "gun-free zones" is patriotic civil disobedience
"When former representative/colonel Allen West reported that the Navy planned to bring charges against lieutenant-commander Timothy White for possessing and using his personal firearm against the terrorist who attacked his Chattanooga, Tennessee, Naval Reserve Center last month, the story went viral.   On Monday, the Navy denied the story, first insisting that no charges had been filed, then allowing 'unnamed officials' to make statements that charges are unlikely in the case.   Whether the Navy ever planned to bring charges, or if their apparent decision not to do so was motivated by the public outrage to the idea, will probably never be known.   In either case, West's raising of the issue, and the public loudly weighing in on it, was useful and productive.   It serves as a good reminder to the Washington elites that there are some lines that they had better not even think about crossing.   Unfortunately, it will take years to know how lieutenant-commander White's brave choice -- to be [have arms close by] in defiance of regulations -- and bold action -- exchanging gun-fire with the terrorist -- will affect his military career.   Odds are that even if the Navy doesn’t prosecute or even issues some sort of commendation for his actions that day, there will also likely be some official reprimand that will derail his naval career...   Reports say that one of the Marines killed by the terrorist was also armed with a Glock 9mm.   Whether either White or the Marine actually hit the terrorist with their shots is unknown...   But whether White or the Marine hit the terrorist or not, their actions almost certainly disrupted and slowed the terrorist, very probably saving lives...   Exactly how many Americans routinely carry guns in places where they are prohibited is unknown, but all indications are that it's a substantial number.   In this group of 20-something, at least 2 were carrying.   That's almost 10%.   While it is unlikely that number could be extrapolated to the general population, my personal experience and observations support the idea that a significant and growing number of Americans are not only carrying, but are also refusing to comply with signage -- signage that often carries the force of law -- that calls for their disarmament.   According to John Lott and the Crime Prevention Research Center, the verifiable number of people licensed by the states to carry concealed firearms was about 11.1M last year, or just under 5% of the adult population, but, Lott says, that number is low because some states won’t share their licensing numbers.   Then there are the seven states where legal concealed carry does not require a license of any kind.   Of course, not everyone who is licensed or legal to carry does so on a routine basis, but many do, and a growing number of them are refusing to disarm at the whim of congress, the president or a hoplophobic business owner.   As might be imagined, I travel in circles where a very high percentage of the people around me routinely carry a gun.   Most of us make an effort to simply avoid doing business with establishments that are posted 'No Guns'.   We even offer a 'Merchant Education Card' to leave with posted businesses to let them know why they lost our business.   But more and more of the people I know are just saying No.   They simply disregard signs, policies and laws that demand that they disarm.   They are harming no one and would never use their guns except under the most extreme circumstances, but they are willfully breaking laws and violating policies.   They have decided that the risk of being caught and punished for having a gun does not outweigh the possible consequences of being unarmed when they need it.   To them, laws against carrying a gun are as inane as would be a law prohibiting fire extinguishers in one's car..."

vastly excessive legal immigration threatens our culture
"...'Department of Homeland Security [DHS] statistics show that the U.S.A. issued 5.25M green cards in the last 5 years, for an average of 1.05M new legal permanent immigrants annually.', the report says.   This in the midst of the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression, when 21M Americans are un-employed or under-employed, work-force participation is at the lowest and long-term unemployment the highest in living memory.   All the border security in the world would do nothing to stop this flood of legal immigration that shows no sign of abating.   If current policy continues, the U.S.A. will add some 10M new permanent legal immigrants in the next decade -- greater than the populations of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina combined.   By comparison, the government issued about 285K green cards annually in the 1950s and 1960s.   The total foreign-born population in the United States dropped from about 10.8M in 1945 to 9.6M in 1970.   Today's massive influx of people has been devastating to the middle class.   'During the low-immigration period from 1948-1973, real median compensation for U.S. workers increased more than 90%.   By contrast, real average hourly wages were lower in 2014 than they were in 1973, 4 decades earlier', the report says.   And the number of green cards doesn't tell the whole story.   In addition to permanent resident green cards, Washington has been handing out 'temporary' work permits, such as H-1B and L-1 visas, referred to as 'non-immigrant' visas.   Immigration reform legislation supported by senators Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz would triple the number of guest-worker visas.   Unrestricted immigration is the holy grail sought by the corporate elite that funds both political parties.   They want cheap labor, any place, any time and to get it, they will move factories from Canton, Ohio, to Canton, China.   Barring that, they will bring 'temporary' workers to toil here.   Their vision and goal is a universal economic order in which 'people, goods and capital flow freely'.   This is precisely the language used to describe both the European Union and the Trans-Pacific Partnership [TPP and TISA] proposed by [president Obummer, and in the earlier GATT and GATS].   Its proponents idealize such a borderless world as a formula for world peace as John Lennon would imagine.   But it is the peace of slaves.   Deracinated rootless labor has been the scourge of mankind since time immemorial.   Today's Rohingya refugees harvesting palm oil on plantations in Malaysia and Filipina domestics scrubbing palace floors in the Persian Gulf are in [the same] league with the migrant labor Cecil Rhodes connived to dig diamonds from the fields of Kimberley...   a 'guest-worker' is a stateless person with no ties to any community, only to the pay-master that sponsors him.   That is whom our citizens must now compete with for jobs."

more bromides on immigration
"Thursday night's Republican debate was the most entertaining I've seen, but there was no additional light shed on the candidates' views on immigration.   The issue came up early, but both the questions and the answers were predictable.   Everybody's against illegal immigration.   Everybody wants better border enforcement.   Everybody's against 'sanctuary cities' and pretty young women being killed by illegal-alien felons protected by commies in San Francisco...   All well and good.   But what about something that everyone doesn't agree about.   The moderators' questions overall were outstanding – actual reporters asking politicians actual questions -- which is why it was so disappointing that none of them simply asked, 'Do you think legal immigration should be increased, decreased, or kept the same, and why?'   Ultimately, legal immigration is more important than illegal immigration, because most of the consequences are the same and there's just a lot more of it.   Because they weren't pressed, the candidates only alluded to the issue.   In the jayvee debate, Santorum eloquently emphasized his support for legal immigration cuts.   But in the main debate, [Scott Walker] was the only one to sort-of deviate from the K Street line that we need more immigration.   But even he merely said 'go forward with the legal immigration system that gives priority to American working families and wages'.   A direct question on numbers might have usefully elicited a more specific answer...   So we still don't have explicit statements from any of the leading candidates on one of the central policy issues of our day.   The debate was better than most, but was still disappointing."

superficial by design: immigration in the debates of candidates for president
"A number of the candidates on center stage were asked what they would do to fix the system.   Their canned answers were carefully packaged soundbites that promised quick and easy solutions conveyed in euphemisms to mask the candidates' desire to continue the status quo while not offending the party's base.   To the casual observer, the responses sounded reasonable, and after a few minutes the moderators looked relieved to move on to another topic.   The responses, however, were transparently superficial to those who study immigration.   They contained no context, no statistics, and very few specifics on our complex immigration system.   Some of this is understandable.   The debate format leaves no time to provide much detail about anything.   A candidate must speak in broad strokes.   Besides, he or she cannot be an expert on everything (which is why one must be self-confident to the point of near insanity to want to govern a nation of 320M people).   But it is one thing to delegate specifics and another not to have the vaguest clue of what they are.   And watching the exchanges on immigration, year after year, one gets the impression that most politicians have no understanding of the size and scope of immigration or how it is over-seen.   This impression was reinforced by a prominent magazine editor, who once told us that he asks senators and congressmen the most basic questions on immigration every time he gets a chance.   The vast majority do not know how many immigrants enter the United States annually or the overall size of the foreign-born population.   Many of the estimates he has received are comically off the mark.   This ignorance is coupled with a near universal belief that immigration is an absolute good that should not be restricted.   This is a serious problem given the enormity of the issue.   There are now more than 41M foreign-born residents in the United States.   More than 1M legal permanent residents are admitted each year.   The federal immigration program issues more green cards every year 'than the collective population of the 13 colonies the year Virginia's Patrick Henry was born'.   Over the next 10 years, we are on pace to welcome more newcomers than the combined populations of Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina.   And by 2060, the nation's population is projected to grow to 417M -- an increase roughly equivalent to adding the combined populations of California, Texas, New York, Florida, and Massachusetts.   Needless to say, this demographic transformation has profound social, economic, and fiscal ramifications.   It is not merely a defining narrative of modern politics or even of American history.   It is a transformation that is unprecedented in the history of the world.   That is why the superficial way in which this issue is addressed is so confounding.   Overall immigration numbers are never even mentioned, much less debated.   Candidates simply recite the 'illegal bad, legal good' mantra, usually suggesting that we double the current level of immigration, whatever that level may be.   This model is unsustainable.   As president Ronald Reagan correctly stated, 'A nation that cannot control its borders is not a nation.'   It is an aphorism as true for open-ended legal immigration as it is for illegal crossers or visa overstayers.   A self-governing republic is not compatible with an ever-expanding and rapidly changing electorate.   Among the many things that immigration does is give elected officials more power, which is why sheer ignorance does not account entirely for the superficiality of the debates.   While candidates may not know all of the numbers, they know that exponentially increasing the size of the electorate makes them more important, and less accountable.   This is the allure of politics.   Immigration gives the Washington class more authority and prestige.   That is one of the reasons why politicians and the media will not debate the impacts of this unprecedented transformation."

"It 'continues to work with an array of violent substate groups that use terrorism among other violent tactics', Daniel Byman, director of research and a senior fellow in the Center for Middle East Policy at the Brookings Institution, told congress earlier this year.   'Iran's regime sees itself as a regional and even a world power, and working with terrorists is a way for Iran to influence events far from its borders.', Mr. Byman said.   Its 'support for Lebanese Hezbollah, Palestine Islamic Jihad, and Hamas make Iran a player in the Israeli-Palestinian and Israel-Arab disputes, and Iran's backing of Houthis in Yemen give it influence on Saudi Arabia's southern border', he said.   Iran has ambitious global goals as a military power, one that it has not abandoned and never will.   'At the creation of the Islamic Republic, Iran's leaders made no secret of their desire to extend Iran's revolution throughout the Muslim world.', Mr. Byman testified.   Iran's first supreme leader and founding ideologue, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, declared that Iran 'should try hard to export our revolution to the world'.   It continues to finance a wide range of terrorist groups and has allied its country 'at times' with al Qaeda and the Taliban -- the kind of people who engage in beheadings and burning their enemies alive..."

Small businesses, new businesses, family-owned businesses.'   Fiorina said she started her career in a small real estate firm, while her husband Frank started out driving a tow-truck at a family-owned body shop.   'The truth is, most people start out the way we did.   Small businesses create two-thirds of the new jobs, they employ half the people.   We are crushing them.   So when we crush small business, we are now destroying more than we're creating for the first time in U.S.A. history.   We're crushing opportunity.'...   'Point two: crony [socialism] is alive and well.   And guess what, the bigger government gets, the more crony [socialism] succeeds...   And finally, we need to understand in the 21st Century, we've got to compete for every job, because any job, any money, any person can go anywhere.   We're not competing for jobs any more.   We have the highest tax rates in the world -- that's insanity.   We have a regulatory environment that is crushing.'..."

This is a very old military expression, intended, in part, to make clear the difference between the civilian government and military.   The civilian government declares wars, and the military carries out those wars.   I vaguely recall reading it in a book written some time between 1940 & 1980, and hearing it (again) in the late 1980s.   General Colin Powell said it in 2013.   The purpose of the military is kill people who are attacking us, and break the things they are using to attack us, and break the things they hide behind, and break the things they are using to sustain themselves in their efforts to attack us.   I really think Frances Martel failed to do his home-work.

would you pledge to vote for Yebbie Booosh if he got the Republican nomination? Hardly!
"...Every other candidate on the stage cares a lot about favorability ratings -- the 'beauty contest' element of politics.   Trump doesn't.   He appeared gleeful in saying that 'politicians are stupid' when he was talking about border security.   Corrupt, maybe...but stupid?...   Cruz was initially asked about his penchant for taking on party leaders – and the fact he called Mitch McConnell a liar (which elicited some boos -- who are these people? [They were booing the questioner, not Cruz.]).   His answer: 'I believe the American people are looking for someone to speak the truth...   I ain't your guy if you're looking for someone to get in bed with the lobbyists and special interests...   I will always tell the truth and do what I say I'm going to do.'  Cruz has the record to back up his claims.   You just sense that the other candidates don't like him, see him as an outlier and are hoping against hope that he'll just shut up..."

George Rasley _Conservative HQ_
Bush News Network (Fox) tried to take out Trump
"...Trump's answer that 'It was only Rosie O'Donnell' got the audience on his side, but Kelly assumed the prosecutorial tone that has now become her trademark and refused to let it go until she made her intended point that according to the rules the establishment media imposes upon political candidates Donald Trump is an unelectable male chauvinist.   Likewise, Chris Wallace's insistence on 'proof' that the government of Mexico is 'sending criminals -- rapists, drug dealers, across the border' was an insistence on factual corroboration that was required of no other candidate during the debate, especially [Yebbie Booosh].   Bush was given a free pass on his claims about being a fiscally conservative governor as he touted his record of cutting taxes with no mention that on [Yebbie Booosh's] watch Florida state spending ballooned by 52%, from $48.6G in 1999 to $73.9G in 2006.   And state expenditures per capita rose from $2,809 in 1999, to $3,942 in fiscal year 2006-2007...   The Trump campaign, and Trump's meteoric rise in the polls, is as CHQ chairman Richard A. Viguerie said, not so much about Donald Trump as it is about 'sending THEM a message'.   And THEM is the Republican establishment and the Washington political class in general..."

things to remember from the debate
"...Going after Trump is not the way to get his supporters – going after the duplicity, lying, weak Republican leaders and being a credible alternative deliverer of his message is the only way to get his voters and, although Cruz gave it a good try, in my view no one broke through last night...   Another surprise was that Scott Walker did not really rise to the occasion last night.   Conservatives are looking for a fighter -- which is why Carly Fiorina shined in the first debate -- and Walker's performance lacked any evidence of the zest for combat or fire that conservatives are looking for in their candidate for president.   And much the same thing could be said for Dr. Ben Carson.   He came across as very smart, likable, a nice guy, but zest for combat? No way.   Smart and funny, sure; but Dr. Carson often looked a little lost, like he -- a neurosurgeon -- had suddenly found himself on stage with a group of violinists or some other group to which he didn't belong, but he gamely played along.   The big losers last night were [Obummer and Hitlery]...   The debate had a big audience that does not normally watch Fox; 3 hours of strong articulate attacks on Obama and Hillary are bound to hurt their numbers and I expect them to go down in the polls after last night.   Carly Fiorina looked closer to Reagan than anyone else...   My bottom line [item to remember] from the early debate was that Carly Fiorina clearly deserves to be considered to be a top-tier candidate.   She looked closer to Reagan than anyone else in terms of clarity and drawing clear lines in the sand, especially on her answer to Trump.   Ted Cruz did well, but...   We can stipulate that Ted Cruz is the most articulate and consistent conservative, but his number one problem is convincing voters he can win both the nomination and the presidency.   Above all else we conservatives want to win the 2016 election and conservative voters will accept their second or third choice..."

debate question: have any of you gotten a word from God?
"...'I would also note that the scripture tells us, You shall know them by their fruit.   We see lots of campaign conservatives.   But if we're going to win in 2016, we need a consistent conservative, someone who has been a fiscal conservative, a social conservative, a national security conservative.'..."

Obummer thinks requiring photo-ID to cash a check, enter a federal government document depository, enter an NAACP gathering, board a commercial aircraft is fine, but not to vote, because it would inhibit so many vote-rigging schemes he loves, just pay no attention to those areas where more people voted than the census reported live there (video)

Michael Savage: Obummer's pure malevolence has demoralized the USA
"...That 'one radio show host' was, of course, Rush Limbaugh -- who quickly responded on the air.   'We have just learned that I, your host, am the reason the Republican House feels trapped and unable to do what they would really like to do.', Limbaugh joked to his audience...   Plus: [Aaron Klein] featured a special interview with retired talk show host and Watergate architect G. Gordon Liddy, who told Klein that Hillary Clinton's many scandals are 'much larger' that anything Richard Nixon was ever accused of doing.   'Bear in mind that nobody even caught a cold at the Watergate office building.   But 4 devoted American citizens, including an ambassador, were left to die in Benghazi.', Liddy said...   Mark Levin...   Steve Deace...   Glenn Beck..."

illegal aliens account for 30% of murders in many states
"...Between 2008 and 2014, 40% of all murder convictions in Florida were criminal aliens.   In New York it was 34% and Arizona 17.8%.   During those years, criminal aliens accounted for 38% of all murder convictions in the 5 states of California, Texas, Arizona, Florida and New York, while illegal aliens constitute only 5.6% of the total population in those states.   That 38% represents 7,085 murders out of the total of 18,643...   over 90% of incarcerated criminal aliens are illegal aliens [i.e. few of the foreign-born who are in the USA legally commit crimes, just as few citizens commit crimes]..."

ISIL/ISIS/Daesh/IS/caliphate top command dominated by former officers from Saddam Hussein's army
"While attending the Iraqi army's artillery school nearly 20 years ago, Ali Omran remembers one major well.   An Islamic hard-liner, he once chided Omran for wearing an Iraqi flag pin into the bath-room because it included the words 'God is great'.   'It is forbidden by religion to bring the name of the Almighty into a defiled place like this.', Omran recalled being told by major Taha Taher al-Ani.   Omran didn't see al-Ani again until years later, in 2003.   The Americans had invaded Iraq and were storming toward Baghdad.   Saddam Hussein's fall was imminent.   At a sprawling military base north of the capital, al-Ani was directing the loading of weapons, ammunition and ordnance into trucks to spirit away.   He took those weapons with him when he joined Tawhid wa'l-Jihad, a forerunner of al-Qaida's branch in Iraq.   Now al-Ani is a commander in [ISIL/ISIS/Daesh/IS/caliphate]..."

the writing is on the wall for USA military in the Persian Gulf
"...Without actually fighting, Israel proved to be a key security asset that allowed American troops to operate with relative freedom against Iraq.   Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles, on the other hand, will similarly constrain American military planning, but this time Israel will not be able to offer a counter-threat.   In the simplest terms, the U.S. facing a nuclear Iran will either have to significantly change how it deploys to the Middle East and Persian Gulf, or get out of harm's way.   The weakening of the overall American military posture under sequestration makes the latter most likely.   There are a number of factors that need explication: (1) Prior to the Israeli strike on Osirak, Iran had sent its own Phantom jets to try to knock out Iraq's centrifuge facility adjoining the reactor; reports have it that the Iranians also shared photo reconnaissance with Israel of their raid to help Israel pinpoint the right targets and finish the job...
