more on San Francisco CA/Beacon Reader H-1B project funded by tech executives
"...Actually, upon a second reading of their announcement, I see their focus will be totally on H-1Bs [i.e. people who have been granted H-1B guest-work visas] and would-be H-1Bs (the latter being those who are not [able] to secure a visa), rather than also covering the adversely impacted US citizens and permanent residents.   That's fine (though disappointing), but there is something much more important -- Beacon has strong ties to the tech industry.   Its initial funding is from Y Combinator a famous incubator for tech start-ups.   Y Combinator incubated Dropbox, one of the major driving forces in [Zuckerberg's lobbying outfit].   IN addition, Beacon co-founder Dan Fletcher was formerly managing editor at FB.   Small world, eh?   IOW, to some degree, the tech industry [executives are] determining what Chronicle readers see.   The situation is just as troubling as the Washington Monthly project I mentioned in my last posting..."

USA, the camel is in the tent!
"There is a very interesting Middle Eastern proverb America would do well to observe.   I learned it during four United States Air Force tours in the Middle East:   'Never let a camel get his nose in the tent, if he gets his nose in he will get his head in, if he gets his head in, he will get his hump in, and if he gets his hump in then he will get his rump in and you will have a camel in your tent.'   This is happening at the borders of many European countries and America's border with Mexico.   We must stop the camel at the tent entrance.   The question is how?   First, we must understand the nature of our adversaries.   Unlike us, they see compassion, understanding, forbearance and restraint not as humanitarian but as weakness.   The ISIL/ ISIS/ Daesh/ IS/ caliphate terrorists and other jihadis have little regard for human life and Western culture.   Women, children and even their own kind (Sunni versus Shiite) are targeted without hesitation by the radicals who launch cowardly attacks against unarmed citizens.   They have a standard modus operandi: They negotiate cease-fires, armistices and treaties until they are prepared to launch their attacks.   This cycle will continue until they achieve their oft-stated goal -- the subjugation of all unbelievers.   America and European countries should beware that many even so-called 'moderates' hate us.   We must recognize that regardless of their present leadership (and the leftist media's expressed desire for acceptance), most non-democratic forms of government and practically all Islamic dictatorships hate the U.S.A. and Western Europe precisely because of who and what we are.   Our freedoms threaten their very existence..."

"The woman and her family had fled to Austria to escape Chechnya's civil war when she was 4 years old.   Her family found work, and she was educated in Austrian system in Graz.   However, 2 years ago she became more religious and came into contact with a German radical who had converted to Islam several years before.   They decided to travel to Syria and get married there, with the man planning to join the terror group while the woman looked after their home.   She flew to Istanbul to meet him in March, from where they travelled to the city of Gaziantep.   They then planned to take a taxi across the Syrian border, but were detained by police before they could leave the city..."

senator Tom Cotton: if Obummer had lived in Red China, he would likely be in prison... or much, much worse
"[President Obummer] is welcoming Xi to the United States in the grandest diplomatic fashion.', Cotton said during a Congressional-Executive Commission on [Red China] hearing on Friday, which saw dissidents and law-makers slam [Red China's] human rights record and urge Obama to tackle the subject with his guest.   'But as they sit next to each other in that state dinner', Cotton continued, 'I hope [president Obummer] recognizes what is perhaps the starkest irony of Xi's trip to the United States:   If [president Obummer] had lived his life not in the United States but in [Red China] -- as a Christian, a community organizer, a civil rights lawyer, and a constitutional law professor -- he wouldn't be enjoying a grand fete with Xi Jingping.'...   Xi is expected to meet with [executives] from U.S. technology giants in Seattle, while in [Red China] those same companies were unable to deliver uncensored information to the Chinese people, and authorities deprive journalists and civil-rights activists access to Internet technology for fear they would use it to organize, share information and undermine the regime, he said.   Cotton contrasted a scheduled visit to Boeing's factory in Washington state [where his entourage can engage in industrial espionage and] where skilled American adult workers enjoy 'labor rights', with violent abuses against labor 'organizers' and child labor practices in [Red China]..."

cowards joined forces to attack the alleged "bully" in last Wednesday's debate
"...The CNN moderators reminded me of the really scared kids who -- too afraid to even talk about the bully -- get others to do the talking for them...   A real man doesn't need to say much.   Three hours? Hardly.   Three minutes would be more than enough time.   He doesn't need a lot of fancy words, either.   His spirit speaks for itself...   And God bless Ben Carson, a good and decent man.   Unfortunately, he was raised without a father.   As good a job as I'm sure his mother did with him, she just couldn't replace the presence of a good father.   I'm not fighting here for Trump.   I'm fighting for you to see how politicians have used and deceived us for years.   I'm not saying that Trump will do everything he's promised.   I don't know.   I do believe that he would build a wall, increase job opportunities for Americans of every race, cut taxes, increase gun rights and deal strongly with our enemies.   I know how it feels to be attacked the way Trump was in the two debates.   For the last 25 years, I've been set up in the same manner.   Many years ago, I was invited to be a panelist at the National Association of Black Journalists' Conference.   The audience was stacked against me, as were all of my fellow panelists – Michael Eric Dyson and other extreme racist [leftists].   I was called a 'white man's boy' and worse.   Thank God, I was able to blow them out of the water with simple truth.   If you are on the side of truth, you can endure things you would not have imagined.   Evil must bring a lot of little demons to the fight -- but God only needs one on His side.   Seeing the way Donald Trump is handling the media, other candidates, and the Republican Party leadership is refreshing, and has already given Americans a shot in the arm.   I don't know how far Trump will go.   But in giving confidence to the American people and exposing establishment hypocrisy -- much like a certain past president from California -- he has already done a great service for our country."

the best disagreement of last Wednesday's debate
"While many have debated the winner of the last presidential, I've been focused on the 'best fight'.   As a 6-time world karate champion, I know fighting and what makes up a good match, and this one tops them all.   The reason I call the moment I'm about to detail as 'the best fight' is because it turned away from the media-orchestrated sparring between candidates and addressed advocacy for others and issues too often overlooked or shelved by political correctness.   My choice for 'best fight' was Carly Fiorina's fight for the character of our nation and against the callousing of the American conscience via the harvesting of baby organs through abortion...   As the Declaration of Independence affirms: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.   -- That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed...'   Debate over de-funding Planned Parenthood started on Friday in the U.S. congress.   Write your representatives today, and let them know where you stand."

$85K salary for someone with 7 years of Java experience, in Sili Valley? Really!?!
"...My reader considered this $85K figure fishy, an impression that was worsened by the ad's statement, 'H-1B transfers welcome'...   To put this into perspective, consider the current Quora discussion as to whether a salary of $120K-$130K is enough to live on in Sili Valley.   Almost all of the respondents say No (unless one is extremely frugal).   They give grim dollars-and-cents expense break-downs, and some note that the situation drove them out of the Valley, indeed out of the state, so that they could own a home and raise a family.   And again remember, careers tend to be short.   So, what is going on with that $85K figure?   Could be lots of things, since there are loop-holes in the statutes and regs, both for H-1B and green cards.   I suspect, actually, that this is a 'green card ad'.   Whatever the route taken, it certainly shows the huge incentives employers have to hire foreign workers.   Meanwhile, the US citizens and permanent residents are getting squeezed.   The influx of foreign workers (a) holds down salaries and (b) raises real estate prices to exorbitant levels.   Ouch!   I've made public suggestions before for economists to address this issue (b).   As a Bay Area home-owner, I'm a major beneficiary, but it is making life tough for those -- Americans and others -- who want to live the American Dream of a house and family.   So, (b) is something that is crying out for quantification, a sadly over-looked issue in the immigration debate."

get lost, you palace-guard creeps
"As the week ended, [Obummer's] palace guard in the American media were demanding that every other Republican candidate distance himself from Donald Trump's failure to correct, among thousands of attendees at his events, one who apparently is under the reprehensible illusion that the president is a Muslim.   Any candidate who plays this game with the Obamamedia is a fool.   Assuming for the sake of argument that the questioner is genuine and not a plant (like, say, the 14-year old all-American school-boy clock-maker who didn't make a clock at all and is the son of a belligerent Muslim activist and perennial Sudanese presidential candidate whose brother runs a trucking company amusingly called 'Twin Towers Transportation'), putting all of that to one side, there are several entirely reasonable responses one could make to the gentlemen of the press..."

so, is Barack Hussein Obummer a Muslim or what?
"...Strange but true, reporters pride themselves on knowing nothing about [Obummer's] roots.   Last month, for instance, Catherine Thompson of the popular [leftist web-log], Talking Points Memo, interviewed me about an article I had written on the subject of Republican presidential eligibility.   Weary of her obvious condescension, I asked her where [Obummer] spent the first year of his life.   'Indonesia?', she answered.   'No', I said, 'Seattle'.   I asked her to survey her colleagues on the same question.   Not surprisingly, this was the one exchange she edited out of the interview.   [Obummer's] word, whether on his birth or his faith, is good enough for the [left] media.   Although they have chosen to know as little as possible about [Obummer's] Muslim legacy, the legacy is real.   'Barry was a Muslim', his third grade teacher told the Los Angeles Times in 2007, and he did, in fact, register in school in Indonesia as one.   In his 1995 memoir, _Dreams from My Father_, [Obummer] gratuitously used the Arabic 'Andalusia' when referring to Spain.   In 2008 September, in a conversation with George Stephanopoulos set up to quell such rumors, [Obummer] slipped up and referred to 'my Muslim faith' before Stephanopoulos quickly intervened to correct him.   Slip up or no, [Obumer claimed to find] it 'deeply offensive' that the Republican camp was suggesting 'that perhaps I'm not who I say I am when it comes to my faith'..."

Alicia Colon _Jewish World Review_
George Santayana was correct
"A recent article in American Thinker caught my eye but only because the headline contained a word I feel many Americans younger than I may not recognize.   The headline, Ted Cruz Fighting Vichy Republicans on Planned Parenthood was clever but I venture to guess that Vichy went over the heads of the low info voter.   I did an impersonal poll of my own children who went to private school and others who did not.   I was disappointed that while mine recalled hearing that name, they didn't remember its importance.   Those who went to public school, never remember studying much about WW2 and I was not surprised by that at all.   It is therefore necessary to paraphrase Santanaya's quote to, 'Those who are never taught the past are condemned to repeat it.'   While historical facts are easily available through multiple sources on the Internet, the thirst for knowledge among the young is limited to cheat sheets of popular video games or social apps for iphones.   That this ignorance in academia is deliberate should alarm us but this inertia to undo the damage has real consequences.   The Vichy government In France during the Nazi occupation surrendered to the Germans and collaborated with the Nazi rule over the French citizens.   This term is a symbol of cowardice and betrayal and this American Thinker article was correct in comparing it to what the GOP establishment is doing in congress.   Remaining in congress appears to these RINOs to be more important than to keeping the promises made to the electorate who voted them in.   Those of my advanced age, regardless of where they were educated, are aware of important historical facts.   Whether we remember all the details is beside the point.   Ask a senior citizen if they know that Spain was once invaded by the Islamic Moors of Arab and Berber descent and they may not know the specifics or how long the occupation lasted but they will know that it did.   We also know the meaning of the word Caliphate and because we do, we can recognize that Europe is being invaded by a very different kind of Muslim.   This time, they are invading and are being welcomed by pretending to be Syrian war 'refugees'..."

GAO highlights USCIS's "need" for more H-1B fees
"Two unconnected recent events remind us of USCIS's desperate 'need' for more fees:   The Government Accountability Office (GAO) issued a 'watch b log' calling attention to a May GAO report that said USCIS's new electronic decision-making system has been delayed and will cost 6 times as much as once predicted, for a new total of $3.1G.   A pro-H1-B web-site, MyVisaJobs.com, announced that, as of October 1, the $2K and $2,250 extra fees for H-1B and L-1 petitions filed by employers will no longer apply.   The GAO report said that the new USCIS system will also take years longer to be implemented than planned.   Meanwhile, the extra fees for firms addicted to foreign workers ('H-1B and L-1 dependent' is the formal term) are producing $100M to $250M a year.   Those fees could go a long way to finance the agency's new Electronic Immigration System (or ELIS, a play on Ellis Island).   I have seen nothing in the general or specialized media that links those two subjects.   While I must admit that I missed the GAO report when it emerged in May, a couple of weeks ago CIS published a [web-log] of mine reporting on a USCIS decision to move backward from electronic filings to paper ones, which made me think the electronic system was in trouble.   The MyVisaJobs announcement said that the special fees (created largely by senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) 5 years ago) would end on the last day of this month.   That may indeed happen, but Congress has an opportunity to fix that in the next dozen days and, presumably, it could do so retroactively later this fall.   MyVisaJobs did not report on this possibility.   I am not terribly enthusiastic about providing a lot more funding to USCIS, but if it does not get more fees from aliens and employers it will go the taxpayers for relief.   USCIS is about 95% funded by fees.   Better that corporations who get bargain-rate professional talent from the H-1B program should pay rather than sticking the rest of us with the bill.   The immigration agencies, first the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) and then its successor USCIS, have long been behind the rest of the government in the use of electronic application and decision-making systems.   The matter of many thousands of lost (or misplaced) paper files has been gumming up decision-making for decades.   This delays both the provision of benefits to aliens (and their employers) and the referral of problem cases to law enforcement...   [Move to 'agile' software development is giving them some trouble.]   Government does a lot of things pretty well, but buying comprehensive electronic systems is apparently not one of them."
Over 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 Department annual reports.

the cynical use of citizenship
" September 17, the [Obummer regime] celebrated Constitution Day by administering the naturalization oath to more than 36K newly minted citizens in 200 events throughout all 50 states.   The president used the occasion to kick off the new Stand Stronger Citizenship Awareness Campaign.   I would like to say I found this heart-warming evidence of 36K people fulfilling their aspirations to share in the American Dream.   I didn't. Instead, I found myself thinking, 'On Constitution Day of all days? You're kidding! How cynical can you get?'   The officials of this White House have consistently used, abused, misused, and ignored the Constitution in every way possible...   Whatever they choose to call this naturalization initiative, it's the same cynical power play we've seen used by Democratic administrations previously in run-ups to presidential elections -- stuff the voter rolls with new, presumably Democratic-leaning, citizens in time to cast their ballots.   Last time it was called 'Citizenship USA', a scandal-plagued naturalization mill with few internal controls that churned out 1.2M new citizens, including thousands of convicted criminals and other ineligible applicants..."

"...The news comes shortly after a glowing reference by a UK Imam for a rapist who is said to have taken advantage of young girls.   As reported by Breitbart London, letters of reference were written on rapist Adbul Fulat's behalf by an imam, family members and friends were presented to Leeds Crown Court.   The new research was carried out across England and Wales, and the findings included that a lack of awareness about what constitutes criminal behaviour was endemic among first generation immigrant families from Bangladesh, Pakistan and India...   In 2007, researchers found that many British Muslims held intolerant views at odds with Western society, including 36% of 16 to 24-year-olds believing that if a Muslim converted to another religion they should be punished by death.   Shockingly, 74% of 16 to 24-year-olds said they would prefer Muslim women to choose to wear the veil..."

"Renowned scientist and notable atheist commentator Richard Dawkins has rounded on 'clock boy' Ahmed Mohamed, the now infamous Muslim teen who disassembled and reassembled a clock and was subsequently invited to the White House after being taken into police custody for possessing a 'hoax bomb'.   Dawkins took to Twitter to pull apart the facts of the case before finally posting a spoof video of an 'inventor' doing precisely what Mohamed had done -- remove the casing from a retail clock and placing it, wires protruding, inside a metallic brief-case..."

NFL team owners sack tax-victims, line their own pockets in a perverse crony socialist scheme that amounts to illfare for billionaires
"...Between 1995 and 2013 (the most recent year for which data are available), the median household income decreased, in constant dollars, in 65% of the counties that spent tax dollars on NFL stadiums.   During the same time, median income rose nationally.   Over the same time, the national poverty rate rose 0.7%.   In counties that housed [tax-victim]-funded NFL stadiums, however, poverty increased at a rate 26.3% greater than the national average.   In Cincinnati, for example, home of one of the most irresponsible stadium deals in history, the Bengals stadium devoured 16% of the Hamilton county, Ohio, budget, leading to a financial crisis and a rise in property taxes.   [Corrupt politicians and bureaubums chose to spend tax-victims'] $425M on the stadium, and have little to show for it besides massive debt and a 60% increase in the county's poverty rate..."

"refugee"/ "migrant"/ terrorist crisis is modern version of Trojan Horse
"Currently, there is a 'crisis' in Syria [and Iraq and Afghanistan and Lebanon and Jordan and Yemen], and the people are fleeing the multi-faceted civil war going on in that small Middle East nation.   There are at least 3 major factions fighting each other, and it is creating havoc for the people of that nation, so much so that the men, women, and children are fleeing for their lives.   They are flooding European nations that are near to Syria.   Or are they really?   Some studies have suggested that, in many groups of refugees, the make-up of the people include women and children and elderly but that 80% are men between the ages of 18 and 30.   That just so happens to be the age of a soldier.   In fact, we have reason to believe that some of those young men are indeed members of ISIL/ ISIS/ Daesh/ IS/ caliphate, al-Qaeda, and other Muslim extremist groups that are bent on the West's destruction.   The problem is, we don't know which of them are or how many there are.   The media has portrayed this as a mass human exodus with unimaginable suffering.   What we hear from people on the ground in the areas affected is that this is not true..."

even the real Republicans wimp out
"...House Republicans appear instead to be shifting their anger to the Senate and its majority leader, Mitch McConnell, R-KY, who has been [actively opposing] key GOP legislation sent from the House [instead of leveraging the rules to pass it]..."
There's some verbiage about changing the rules about what can be filibustered, but no one has filibustered for decades.   Why not require the Dems/Reds/leftists in the senate to actually filibuster, instead of simply accepting lack of cloture.   Demand that the bill either be voted on or they have to hold the floor for days on end to block votes?   But the current GOP losership lacks the brains, the will, and the back-bone to so much as attempt to do anything good and effective.

RINO losership's new rules to attempt to rig the nomination back-fired
"After the disastrous 2012 election, in which establishment Republican nominee Mitt Romney tanked, fairing worse even than John McCain in 2008, the powers that be within the Republican National Committee knew they would face significant challenges from non-establishment candidates in 2016.   So they hatched a devious plan to ensure they could continue to nominate establishment 'losers', as Donald Trump would say -- the kind of candidates that have been selected consistently by the party since 1988.   While not all of those nominees ultimately lost the presidential race, they were still 'losers' because they betrayed Republican principles.   They had one other common denominator: They were both named Bush.   The Republican establishment correctly figured there would be many challengers in the 2016 campaign.   The plan was to select one establishment candidate with high name recognition and a huge political war chest who would do well enough to sew up the nomination under new rules to speed up the process.   It would help, of course, if the candidate's name was Bush.   The new rules crafted by the Republican elite would enable their pick to win the nomination by only getting 30% of the vote in early primaries.   What they weren't counting on, however, were 2 things -- the Donald Trump factor and the shocking popularity of another anti-establishment candidate, Dr. Ben Carson..."

** differences between left and right (part 9): is "national identity" necessary? **
World Net Daily
"...The rejection of national identities began with the founder of Leftism, Karl Marx.   He ends his major work, _Das Kapital_, with the famous left-wing motto, 'Proletariat of the world, unite; you have nothing to lose but your chains'.   [The similarly collectivist leftist 'Wobblies' (IWW) changed it to 'workers of the world, unite'.   The word 'proletariat' derives from from Latin words meaning, progeny or children, since the proletariat were not self-responsible like adult US citizens, but more like irresponsible children.]   Marx regarded national identities as backward and useless.   In his view, the only identities that mattered were class identities -- the working class and the ruling class.   If a worker thought of himself first as a German or Englishman, rather than as a worker, Communism would never be achieved.   The rejection of nationalism in Europe became main-stream after World War 1.   Many Europeans, especially among the intellectuals, concluded that the unprecedented loss of life caused by the Great War was a result, first and foremost, of nationalism.   They concluded that Europeans slaughtered each other for nothing more than a flag and a national identity.   Therefore, the argument went, by abolishing nationalism, war could be abolished.   That is the belief that led to the creation of the European Union: The more Europeans identified with Europe rather than with a particular country the less likely were the chances of war between European countries.   In the United States, however, a national American identity has always been a major part of what it means to be an American.   The 3 [or 4] pillars of Americanism, constituting what I have called the 'American Trinity' ['USA quaternity'] -- are found on every American coin and bank-note: 'Liberty, 'In God We Trust', 'e pluribus unum' [and 'Mind Your Business'].   The latter is Latin for 'out of many, one'.   Because America has always been a nation of immigrants, it has no ethnic identity.   Therefore, unlike almost all other nations, America could not depend on an ethnic identity to keep its people together.   In fact, if all Americans retained their ethnic identities, America would simply splinter.   So a non-ethnic American national identity had to be forged and preserved.   To this day, foreigners in the United States are struck by how patriotic Americans are in comparison to whatever country they come from.   They marvel, for example, at the fact that before almost every sporting event -- from professional down to high school -- the American National Anthem is played and/or sung.   'Conservatives' [in the USA] wish to conserve all these manifestations of American patriotism and nationalism because they believe a sense of national unity is essential to the political and social health of the country.   On the other hand, the American Left, like the Left in Europe, is opposed to nationalism, and it generally finds patriotic expressions corny at best and dangerous at worst.   [Whereas in Europe, 'conservatism' is seen as conserving monarchy or feudalism and the 'divine right of kings' (which developed rather late, around the 1600s through the 1800s).]   This is easily seen.   Just visit 'conservative' and [leftist] areas on July Fourth, America's Independence Day.   You will see American flags displayed throughout 'conservative' areas and virtually none displayed in [leftist] areas such as Manhattan, NY, or Santa Monica or Berkeley, CA.   Left-wing opposition to American nationalism is exemplified by the Left's embrace of 'multiculturalism' -- the cultivation of all ethnic and racial identities except American.   It has even reached the point wherein some American colleges no longer display the American flag.   In lieu of an American national identity, the Left prefers an international identity.   Thus, ideally, United Nations authority would supersede American authority, and the World Court [and WTO court] would supersede American courts..."

triple-play will bring in still more L-1 guest-workers
"The most recent admissions data (for FY2013) show more than 500K entries of such workers and more than 200K admissions of L-1 dependents, who also may work in the United States.   [149,621 L visas were issued through consular offices in FY2013; 71,513 L-1 visas for guest-workers, and 78,108 L-2 visas for family members, but they can enter and leave the USA multiple times in a year.]   The workers are supposed to have been employed over-seas before their transfer here.   The 3 elements that are combining to expand the already large program are these:   Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) has reported that the [Obummer regime] is contemplating policy changes that could, to quote an earlier statement by the president, 'benefit hundreds of thousands of non-immigrant workers'.   Unless congress acts by September 30, the extra fee of $2,250 per L-1 worker will disappear, making these workers that much more attractive to employers.   And, as we noted in another posting, an L-1 employer faced with violations can demand that a government inspector come back to the work site on another day.   The L-1 [perversion] (without any change in law) that senator Grassley warned of relates to the definition of the 'specialized knowledge' that these workers must have.   The already loose interpretation of this phrase may become even looser, allowing virtually all requested L-1 foreign workers' applications to be approved.   What often happens is that big, multi-national firms with offices in, say, India and the United States will bring in computer programmers and pay them at Indian rates rather than at U.S.A. rates, thus squeezing resident workers out of their jobs.   Like many other recent changes in immigration policy, loosening the definition of 'specialized knowledge' would be done through White House edict alone, without any congressional authorization.   [As with H-1B visas, there is no skill level requirement for L visas.]"

Obummer nominee Susan Coppedge Amato told senators she wouldn't pplay politics with corrupt Obummer/Kerry State Department's human trafficking report
"...The confirmation hearing for Amato, an Assistant U.S. Attorney in Georgia who has prosecuted trafficking-related cases, comes at a time when the administration is under fire over claims that it upgraded certain countries in this year's human trafficking report for political reasons.   The annual TIP report ranks each country according to its progress in the fight against modern slavery.   Those given the lowest ranking, 'tier 3', can face sanctions.   In the preparation of this year's report, senior U.S. diplomats were reported to have over-ruled the State Department's TIP office in more than a dozen cases.   According to the claims, Malaysia and Cuba were among countries that received better rankings for their compliance with anti-trafficking efforts than the TIP office felt they deserved.   Malaysia is a partner in the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) free-trade negotiations, while 'normalization' of diplomatic relations with Cuba is another administration foreign policy priority.   Malaysia's upgrading -- months after the discovery there of mass graves of suspected human trafficking victims -- was especially controversial, since a Menendez-authored amendment to trade promotion authority legislation that became law this year prohibits 'tier 3' countries from getting preferential access into the U.S.A. market.   Had Malaysia remained 'tier 3' that could have placed hurdles in the way of the TPP process..."

an average of 149 "youths" invaded USA each day in August
"The number of Latin American migrants crossing the southern border increased this August compared to last August, boosting the total migrant inflow to more than 240K since 2011.   According to Border Patrol's apprehension data, a cross-border flow of 4,632 'unaccompanied minors' and 5,158 people in 'family units' was recorded arrested last month.   The Associated Press notes that is a 52% increase over last August's total of 6,424 people.   The flow of migrants had, until the late summer, been lower than the 2014 surge when Border Patrol tracked the arrival of 62,977 youths -- some of whom likely are adults older than 18 -- plus 62,848 people in 'family units' -- largely from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras.   [President Barack Hussein Obummer] allowed his deputies to release the vast majority of the migrants into the United States to join their extended families, file for work permits, and enter U.S. schools.   The total for the 2 years -- not counting the September 2015 in-flow -- will be 203,319 migrants.   In 2011, 2012, and 2013 an additional 34,984 Central American 'youths' crossed the border.   That's a 5-year total of at least 243,303 migrants...   By the end of August in 2015, another 35,494 'youths' and 34,565 people in family groups -- mostly women and girls -- had successfully crossed into the United States.   That adds up to 70,059 additional migrants, or more than half the 2014 in-flow of 135,825 migrants..."

Vaclav Klaus: politicians inviting "migrants"/ "refugees"/ "asylum seekers"/ invaders/ terrorists into Europe want disintegration
"...He warned that the purpose of the welcoming policy is the disintegration of Europe as it is known, and the creation of a new society.   Vaclav Klaus was writing in German newspaper, Die Welt, taking aim at 'irresponsible' European politicians such as Germany's chancellor Angela Merkel and president Joachim Gauck.   He lays the blame on them for 'hundreds dead in the Mediterranean' as migrants, their children and family members heed their call to come to Europe and pay exorbitant sums to smugglers unaware of the risks and threats of such journeys...   'Befuddled by the ideology of multiculturalism.', Klaus warns 'today's debate on immigration ignores these elementary facts'.   Instead, migration's proponents believe individual European states can 'replenish' the work-force without problems.   They therefore seek to welcome and accommodate migrants with the promise of a 'new, better life'...   Klaus also identifies the 'fatal mistake' of believing that short term problems caused by migration are out-weighed by long-term effects.   He says that Germany's own experiences to date with immigrants and guest workers stands in 'stark contrast' to the idea.   Klaus refers to comments made by economist Wolfgang Kasper, a German who has lived in Australia for half a century.   He believes acculturation -- the process of cultural and psychological change when cultures meet -- tales several generations.   In addition, Klaus says Kasper 'draws attention to the fact that the second generation of immigrants rejects their integration into European society, and very often the entire Western community of values.'...   'I have deep concerns about the future of European civilisation.'"

Hitlery's server ISP & admin firms were hacked from abroad during her term at DoSs
"Hillary Clinton used the company Internap as the internet service provider for her private email account during her tenure as Secretary of State.   Internap, based in Atlanta, has a facility in Manhattan, near the the physical location of the IP address for clintonemail.com.   In 2011 March, the security company RSA was hacked.   The hackers got into the company's system through a malware-infested e-mail sent to an employee, then installed a 'back-door' and stole data.   RSA called it 'an extremely sophisticated cyber attack'.   RSA was not the only victim of the attack.   A victim list showed that more than 760 other organizations were also 'compromised'.   Internap appeared 5 times on the full victim list...   [Red China] was the home source of 299 of the 338 command and control networks that the hackers used to carry out the attacks, according to an analysis at the time by cyber security expert Brian Krebbs...   Clinton's e-mail domain clintonemail.com is managed by a company called Network Solutions, which manages domains and provides a service that Clinton uses to protect the anonymity of the people running her server from mandatory disclosures on databases.   In 2010, potentially 500K Network Solutions domains hosted malware on their sites as part of a hack involving a Ukranian 'attack server'."

Obummer regime's extreme leftist "college score-card" tried to shut out non-leftists schools
"...Left off the list were such well-known conservative schools as Michigan's Hillsdale College -- ranked in the top 75 by U.S. News & World Report -- and Pennsylvania's Grove City College.   Also omitted were Wyoming Catholic College, Idaho's New Saint Andrews College and Christendom College in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley...   Department of Education spokeswoman Denise Horn told FoxNews.com in a statement that some schools were left out because they did not take [unconstitutional] federal funding, which comes with a requirement that they provide data used in crafting the score-card...   Title IV participating institution is a school that accepts [unconstitutional] funding from federal sources including the Stafford, Perkins and Federal Supplemental loans, the Federal Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students and grants from the Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity and Pell programs...   'Hillsdale issues only 4-year under-graduate degrees as well as master's degrees, and does not issue certificates of any kind for academic credit'...   'Such a scorecard designed by statists will naturally cast independent private institutions in a negative light.', Olson said.   'That's either intentional or is byproduct of the schools' unwillingness to play by the statists' rules.   Parents and prospective students don't need any seal of approval from [president Barack Hussein Obummer] or some DoE bureaucrat to decide whether a school is good or not.   The prospective student and his or her parents can make that determination just fine.'"

why a Muslim president would be unacceptable
"Islam is not just a religious faith, like Catholicism or Judaism.   It's a way of life that guides every aspect of a true believer's values and actions -- political, legal, economic.   For those Muslims who take their faith seriously, their commitment to the Quranic tenets comes first, even when it conflicts with the U.S. Constitution, which it does frequently.   For instance, in Islam forced conversions are not just acceptable but appropriate.   Not so for Jews and Christians.   Lying for the purpose of furthering the strategic goal of advancing the spread of Islam is not only acceptable but appropriate.   Not so for Christians and Jews.   Subjugation of women is not only acceptable but appropriate.   Not so for Christians and Jews..."

why legislators rely on inspectors-general
"...To assist in oversight, law-makers rely on inspectors-general (IGs), the independent agency watch-dogs who are uniquely positioned within the executive branch to report problems to Congress.   Congress passed laws explicitly allowing IGs to have 'timely access to all records' in order to fully and independently review the agency's work.   This authority was granted by the Inspector General Act of 1978 and reaffirmed in subsequent bipartisan government funding measures.   However, in the last 5 years, a handful of agencies, led by the FBI General Counsel's office, have taken issue with the definition of the word 'all', and have refused to provide timely access to records requested by the IG.   In February alone, the Justice Department's IG notified Congress on three separate occasions in which the FBI failed to provide access to records requested for oversight investigations.   IGs for the Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Commerce and the Peace Corps have experienced similar stone-walling.   In a July memo, the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel suggested that IGs need the permission from the agency to obtain documents from that agency.   The OLC claims that congress didn't really mean IGs have access to all records, even though the statute specifically states 'all records'.   The law was written this way to ensure that agencies can't pick and choose when to cooperate with IGs and when to withhold inconvenient or potentially embarrassing records.   For these watch-dogs to truly provide the independent oversight that the law intended, they need unfettered access to agency documents..."

"There's only one time when you can depend on the chronically backlogged, recklessly inefficient Department of Homeland Security to perform smoothly: election season. While hundreds of thousands of visa over-stayers and deportation fugitives remain on the loose, federal bureaucrats at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) are hastily recruiting tens of thousands of foreigners for the [corrupt Obummer regime's] new 'U.S. citizenship and immigrant civic integration' campaign. For the past week, the agency has staged more than 200 naturalization ceremonies for more than 36K new citizens. In partnership with the Interior Department (the same one that blocked American veterans from visiting war memorials during the 2013 federal government stand-off over spending), the feds hosted camera-ready events at national parks -- and encouraged their new political pawns to post propaganda photos across 'social media'. Local law enforcement agencies have a hell of a time getting hold of federal agents to help screen and detain criminal aliens. Finger-print data-bases spread across DHS, the State Department and the Justice Department still don't talk to each other. There's still no comprehensive data-base to track the exits and entries of temporary visa holders -- let alone any functional system to kick out over-stayers and keep them out..."

"To equate the plight of aliens who choose to cross our borders unlawfully with the civil rights issues raised by slavery and its aftermath bears the same kind of tone-deafness [not to say outright corruption] people exhibit when comparing lesser modern social or political ills with the evils of the Holocaust.   For this reason, I am suspicious of the 'U.S. Civil Rights Commission''s motives in tackling a controversial issue such as detention of aliens in pursuit of border control in recent report, 'With Liberty and Justice for All: The State of Civil Rights and Immigration Detention Facilities'.   Why not leave this subject to other government entities better poised to examine the matter in-depth and with dispassion -- for instance, watch-dog agencies such as the Government Accountability Office (GAO) or the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Inspector General (DHS OIG)?   The answer, I fear, is in pursuing agendas, in the most pejorative sense of the word.   The report is a nasty piece of work; the words 'deceptive' and 'sleazy' leap to mind because it is replete with innuendo, unproven allegations, allegations that were in fact determined to be unfounded by the DHS OIG when investigated, and specious arguments masquerading as 'fact'.   It is also a hefty tome at 124 pages, not counting appendices and commissioner statements..."

"All we limited government constitutional conservatives want (really) is for Republican leaders to fulfill the constitutional role the Framers envisioned for congress to act as a check on an over-ambitious and overweening president through the power of the purse.   Phyllis Schlafly spoke for that simple demand in a recent column -- senator Ted Cruz gets it, so do representatives Jim Bridenstine, Louie Gohmert, Mark Meadows and a few others.   Why is it so hard for the 'sophisticated' insiders of the Republican establishment to understand this?   Our long-time friend Phyllis Schlafly, the First Lady of the Conservative Movement, has issued an inspiring challenge to Capitol Hill Republicans to step-up and fulfill their constitutional duty to exercise the power of the purse and use it to defund baby body parts trafficker Planned Parenthood.   The moral case for defunding Planned Parenthood is overwhelming, and Mrs. Schalfly states it succinctly, but to us the most interesting part of her column was her stinging rebuke of the current Republican [losership] on Capitol Hill and the lies by which they maintain their increasingly tenuous grip on power.   Our system is built on checks and balances, said Phyllis Schlafly, yet congress is standing by while the president and the supreme court are encroaching on congress' powers.   Congress should use its spending power to push back against overreaching by the other branches.   Mrs. Schlafly also reminded readers that most Republicans ran on a promise to return our government to the Constitution.   Our founding document clearly vests in congress the power of the purse by providing that 'the congress shall have power to... provide for the... general welfare of the United States' and that 'no money shall be drawn from the treasury, but in consequence of appropriations made by law'.   But the key point in the article from our perspective was her indictment of the Republican Party's Capitol Hill [losership] and their tactics on Planned Parenthood and many other issues where they would have to actually fight [Obummer] and the Dems/Reds/leftists...   it takes just 41 votes in the U.S. senate to block any bill that funds Planned Parenthood [and only 34 votes to block bad treaties], and the American people elected 54 Republicans to the U.S. senate.   So Republicans have the votes to block Planned Parenthood [and Obummer's treaty to let Iran develop nuclear weapons]...   Memo to Mitch McConnell [and John Boehner]: Grass-roots limited government constitutional conservatives really don't want much from the GOP's Capitol Hill establishment.   All we want (really) is for Republican 'leaders' to fulfill the constitutional role the Framers envisioned for congress -- especially the House -- to act as a check on an over-ambitious and overweening president through the power of the purse..."

why aren't the GOP losership and RINOs thanking Donald Trump?
"...Mr. Walker went from the top of the pack in the Republican presidential race to barely registering in polls in an amazingly short time.   Mr. Walker quickly identified the problem: It was Donald Trump.   It was not the Walker campaign's amazingly poor management skills.   It could not have been his flip-flopping on major issues.   It could not have been his incredibly poor debate performances or his unbelievably bad political strategy...   The early Republican debates are drawing record audiences.   Both the Fox News and CNN debates set ratings records.   The obvious question is why and the equally obvious answer is Donald Trump.   Mr. Trump is fueling interest in the debates and, by extension, exposing the Republican presidential candidates to a greater audience.   The Republicans should be thrilled about this.   But they aren't.   The fact that Donald Trump is driving viewers to the debates is far less important to the Grand Old Party elites than the fact he is not one of their anointed candidates.   Instead of being grateful for this opportunity to expose the Republican Party and its beliefs to new people, the GOP just wants to complain about Trump...   Mr. Trump isn't under the control of the establishment.   He also is against the top priority of the Republican Party.   He is for protecting America against illegal aliens.   The Republican establishment takes its orders from the [Chamber of Crony Socialists] and they want amnesty [and 'infinite' cheap, young, pliant guest-workers with flexible ethics]..."

when a better pope explained the blessings of private property
"In 1818, when only 8 years old, Gioacchino Pecci began his studies with the Jesuits at a school in Italy.   73 years later, as Pope Leo 13, he published Rerum Novarum, an encyclical letter simultaneously defending the rights of working people and private property.   As this pope saw it, they were inseparable.   'It is surely undeniable that, when a man engages in remunerative labor, the impelling reason and motive for his work is to obtain property, and thereafter to hold it as his own.', he wrote..."

it is continuing resolution season in the USA capital
"It's that time of year; CR season has arrived in Washington and that has immigration policy implications.   No, the initials do not stand for Crisp, Refreshing weather, which is welcome.   Rather, they stand for Continuing Resolution, which is not welcome, as it has become a near-annual symbol of political dead-lock.   If congress neglects its duty and fails to pass budget bills for the various parts of government before the fiscal year ends on September 30, then the solution -- other than closing the government, which happens from time to time -- is to pass an omnibus continuing resolution to keep the government going for a stated period of time, with expenditures running at the current levels.   The budget bills have not been passed and September 30 is almost upon us, so a CR seems highly likely.   It so happens that five different segments of the immigration system are also due to sunset (a terrible Washington verb) on the same date.   Each of the five should be considered separately on its merits and either be allowed to die, become a permanent part of government, or be extended for another period of time.   As with the budget bills, no action has been taken on these sunsetting provisions of the immigration law.   What is likely to happen is that some (or maybe all) of the 5 elements will be simply extended for the duration of the CR -- now expected to expire on December 11.   The extensions will be riders on that big spending bill and will get little public attention.   The 5 program elements that will sunset on September 30 are:   E-Verify.   This is the electronic data system that employers may use to check on the legal status of people they hire, an extremely useful part of the law.   EB-5 Regional Centers.   This issue is a key part of the current, broader immigrant investor program that allows conditional green cards to be granted to rich aliens.   It is the segment that allows the mandatory creation of 10 jobs for each investment to be satisfied in part by estimates of the indirect creation of jobs, a hazy and controversial matter that has been heavily exploited by some business interests.   Non-minister Religious Worker Visa Program.   This allows a thousand or so alien church workers to convert from nonimmigrant to permanent legal status each year.   Conrad-30 Waiver.   This allows several hundred foreign medical graduates working as nonimmigrant physicians in under-served areas to become legal residents each year.   Higher H-1B and L-1 Fees.   This levies extra fees ($2K and $2,250, respectively) on employers whose work-force consists primarily of these workers, and thus it applies mainly to foreign-owned or international corporations [but though they were touted, in part, as being to fund re-training of US citizens displaced by cheap, young, pliant guest-workers with flexible ethics, the funds were diverted in typical crony socialist fashion]..."

"Wanted: terrific, classy foreign workers. Americans need not apply"
"The CBS affiliate in Miami reports that Donald Trump's Mar-A-Lago estate & resort in Palm Beach has requested hundreds of foreign worker visas for jobs such as cooks, waitresses, and housekeepers.   This would appear to conflict with his boast that 'I will be the greatest jobs president that God ever created.', and with the assertion in his immigration policy paper that 'we need companies to hire from the domestic pool of unemployed'.   I'd guess that Trump's reply (his people didn't respond to the TV reporter) would be a version of what he said about bankruptcy laws in the first debate: 'I've used immigration laws to do a great job for my companies.'   The reporter notes that since airing the story, Mar-A-Lago has reached out to a local job-placement service.   Now that we've all got that thrill up our leg about Trump's hypocrisy, it might be worth asking which of his rivals is in a position to call him on it?   Cruz?   He favors quintupling H-1B visas, which are the same kind of indentured-servitude visas Trump used, but for run-of-the-mill tech workers (not the best-and-brightest workers lobbyists claim) rather than waitresses.   Rubio? He still supports his Gang of Eight [the 8 gangsters] bill's [S744's] doubling of guest-worker visas, which included a detailed schedule of wage rates for unskilled workers — negotiated, corporatist-style, between lobbyists for Big Business and Big Labor.   And since then he's signed onto a bill that would triple H-1B visas.   Hillary or Biden? The shamelessness of administration apparatchiks attacking Trump for not putting American workers first might be too much even for Obama's semi-official spokesmen in the MSM.   (For more on all the candidates, see Numbers USA's immigration grade cards, specifically the row on work visas.)   The candidates would do well to heed a woman in the story who just got a waitressing job through the job-placement office in Palm Beach county: 'Why are you going to bring other people from a foreign country, take care of them, when you're not even going to take care of people that are here?'   Of course, we don't need the government to 'take care' of us, but it would be nice if it would stop screwing us over quite so much."

pope Francis, tear down the Vatican wall!
"Nevertheless, until I learned this morning that Francis visited with the Little Sisters of the Poor, the nuns suing the [Obummer regime] for relief from the persecution of a law ([ObummerDoesn'tCare]) that forces Catholics to violate their conscience, I was beyond frustrated with this pope.   As our own government gives hundreds of millions of dollars to Planned Parenthood, an organization that butchers millions of innocent babies and sells off their body parts, the pope ignoring that issue (and I hope the 'Holy Father' will eventually address it) in favor of the unicorn of Global Warming is an abomination...   this is coming from a man who lives in a city-state completely surrounded, literally, by giant walls.   Vatican City is a literal fortress.   What would happen to Vatican City if it was to do what Francis is asking [the USA] to do?   I'm assuming pope Francis could order such a thing tomorrow, and after the walls came down he could also choose to greet the wave of 'pilgrims' with the 'warmth of the love of Christ'.   Of course pope Francis would never do such a thing because he knows what would happen: Vatican City would be no more, everyone's security and well-being would be compromised, and the standard of living for close to a thousand residents would be destroyed.   Chaos would completely destroy the home of St. Peter.   Just as the loss of Vatican City would be detrimental to the world, so too will the loss of an America as we know it if our culture and free enterprise system is exploded into a giant welfare state by waves of immigrants embraced by mercenary, power-hungry Dems/Reds/leftists desperate to use them to increase the power of the State..."

rebutting Planned Parenthood's clumsy attempt at a cover-up
"...As our friend Phyllis Schlafly put it, while other candidates resorted to Inside-the-Beltway jargon about de-funding Planned Parenthood, Fiorina cut to the chase with her vivid declaration:   'I dare [Hitlery Rotten Clinton] and [Barack Hussein Obummer] to watch these tapes.   Watch a fully formed fetus on the table, its heart beating, its legs kicking, while someone says we have to keep it alive to harvest its brain.   This is about the character of our nation.'   The element of her remarks that Planned Parenthood and those Democrats and [leftists] in the media who support killing babies and ghoulishly 'harvesting' their organs are saying is a lie is the claim that the Planned Parenthood video shows 'a fully formed fetus on the table, its heart beating, its legs kicking, while someone says we have to keep it alive to harvest its brain'.   As Inside the Beltway journalist Sarah Ferris writing for The Hill put it, 'Fiorina has ignored criticism by Planned Parenthood supporters -- as well as independent fact-checkers -- since the debate, standing by her comments.'   After the [leftist] media attacks began in earnest Fiorina released her own counter-attack video that includes 'several graphic images of aborted fetuses'....   To see for yourself the truth of what Fiorina said, Phyllis Schlafly suggests you just point your computer to the seventh video released by the Center for Medical Progress and advance to the 5:56 mark.   There you can watch as Holly O'Donnell, a former employee of Planned Parenthood's body-parts customer StemExpress, explains what her job required her to do.   So who is lying now Mr. Ferrero?   Here's a link to the Center for Medical Progress web-page that has links to all the videos.   We urge you to watch the videos if you haven't seen them and then demand -- as Carly Fiorina did -- that those who defend Planned Parenthood and trafficking in human baby parts see them too.   We also urge you call your senators and representative, the Capitol Switchboard is 1-866-220-0044, to demand they see the Planned Parenthood videos.  Then, please sign our letter to congress demanding that the Republican leadership actually follow through and conduct an investigation of Planned Parenthood's human organ and tissue trafficking rather than engage in their usual 'go nowhere' political posturing and tell them to stop funding for Planned Parenthood in the upcoming Continuing Resolution."

why Mitch McConnell is already in the process of betraying non-leftists and helping Obummer fund Planned Parenthood
"Senator Ted Cruz made a powerful case against the Republican Party's Capitol Hill [losership] in an op-ed in yesterday's Politico, '[President Barack Hussein Obummer] fights relentlessly for his [extreme leftist] priorities.   Like the Terminator, he never gives up, he never stops.   And Republican [losership] responds to every challenge by surrendering at the outset.'...   The observation that we found powerful -- and completely ignored by the [leftist] media -- was Ted Cruz's point about who would actually be responsible for the shutdown if Republicans pass a Continuing Resolution that defunded Planned Parenthood and Obama vetoed it.   It wouldn't be Republicans, it would be [Obummer].   As senator Cruz outlined in a proposed strategy to beat [president Barack Hussein Obummer] and defund Planned Parenthood, 'On the upcoming continuing resolution, we should fund the entire federal government, but we should decline to fund Planned Parenthood...'   Cruz went on to explain that many [GOP losership and RINOs] fear we could never win this fight.   The premise of that belief is that [Obummer] will never, ever give in, so it must be Republicans who ultimately surrender.   But, if we cannot win on these issues, with the facts overwhelmingly in our favor, then what possibly can we win?   Nothing? Ever? Asked senator Cruz.   Pro-life conservatives can win said senator Cruz if we take the case to the American people.   Show the Planned Parenthood videos.   Stand united.   If [Obummer] follows through on his threat to veto funding for the federal government, senator Cruz said Republicans should force him to defend that radical position.   After all, Planned Parenthood is a private organization, not even part of the government...   Or, as Ken Cuccinelli, president of 'Senate Conservatives Action' put it, McConnell wants you to think he's surrendering because his hands are tied, but it's really because he supports funding for the abortion industry -- and he always has..."

supremes to consider whether state arson convictions are "aggravated felonies"
"A case involving an alien ordered removed after being convicted of an aggravated felony (arson) will be heard by the supreme court after the federal 2nd circuit court of appeals upheld the order of the presiding immigration judge and affirmance of the order by the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA).   The alien's petition for certiorari was most probably granted by the court because circuit courts are split on whether the definition of 'aggravated felony' encompasses the crime for which the alien was convicted in New York -- attempted arson.   Section 101(a)(43) of the Immigration & Nationality Act (INA), 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(43), defines the crimes that constitute an aggravated felony, including '(U) an attempt or conspiracy to commit an offense described in this paragraph'.   The section also says 'The term [aggravated felony] applies to an offense described in this paragraph whether in violation of Federal or State law.'   That is the crux of the appeal -- the portion of the aggravated felony definition dealing with arson cites to a federal statute (18 U.S.C. 844(i)), which says, 'Whoever maliciously damages or destroys, or attempts to damage or destroy, by means of fire or an explosive, any building, vehicle, or other real or personal property used in inter-state or foreign commerce or in any activity affecting interstate or foreign commerce'..."

"Audrey Cooper, the editor-in-chief [idioter-in-chief] of the San Francisco CA Chronicle, has been thinking a lot about H-1B visas [but mainly what STEM executives tell her to think].   The visa type allows [employers] to hire [guest-workers] in specialty occupations like engineering, and it is especially relevant to the tech-heavy business population of Sili Valley.   But Cooper's job is to tell the story of Northern California, and sending reporters abroad to talk with would-be [guest-workers] and their families [nor talking with displaced US citizen STEM workers] doesn't quite fall into the priority list...   Earlier this month, The Chronicl launched a crowd-funding campaign to raise the $15K budget for [biased] multi-media reporting on H-1B visas.   The campaign is part of an experiment, run by a platform called Beacon, that will match up to $3M of crowd-funded contributions for reporting projects about immigration...   Beacon co-founder Adrian Sanders '[But] I think people are waking up and realixing they don't feel connected to the content and journalism out there...   It's that there's no enough about what they're interested in particularly.'...   Asking individuals and companies to fund journalism is an ethical mine-field...   'in general the quality of journalism about immigration will go up if there's $3M available to journalists.', Sanders says [though experience says otherwise].   [...a bunch of leftist propaganda campaigns...] It has raised about 25% of its goal...   [To which 'Jake Leone' responded:] 'Not so easy to get the major news orgs to write an unbiased piece on the H-1b visa.   Many have ties to big-tech interests that have, for decades, squashed the truth about how the H-1b is actually used [and abused].   The lobbyists filled the reporters and politicians with sound-bites and talking points.   Like the lie, repeated by Joe Biden, that companies have to look for local workers before getting [guest-workers] in on an H-1b.   If that were true, the massive replacement of local workers by workers on an H-1b visa at Disney, SCE [GE, MSFT, Apple, John Deere, Siemens], and countless other companies would not have happened.   And the lie that H-1b workers create jobs.   We know, from publicly available data, that most H-1b workers are employed at [cross-border bodyshops and off-shoring firms], that have, as their business model, the planned removal of entire departments to India [Red China, VietNam...]...'"

"bacha bazi": the corrupt Obummer's silence on punishment of US soldiers for defending children against rape in Afghanistan
Human Events
"American soldiers are being punished for blowing the whistle on the systematic rape and enslavement of young boys at the hands of brutal Afghan Muslim military officials.   Honorable men in uniform risked their careers and lives to stop the abuse.   Yet, the White House -- which was busy tweeting about its new feminism-pandering 'It's On Us' campaign against an alleged college rape crisis based on debunked statistics -- is AWOL on the actual pedophilia epidemic known as 'bacha bazi'.   On Thursday, [Obummer regime] flacks went out of their way to down-play Afghan child rape as 'abhorrent', but 'fundamentally' a local 'law enforcement matter'.   This is the price the innocents pay for blind multi-culturalism...   The United Nations has known and done nothing as Taliban warlords and Afghan police groomed, sodomized and sexually trafficked generations of young boys.   The U.S. State Department acknowledged last year that 'there were reports security officials and those connected to the ANP (Afghan National Police) raped children with impunity'...   A White House bent on whitewashing away radical Islam's sins against Christians, Jews, gays, apostates, cartoonists, genitally mutilated women and child brides would rather celebrate 'diversity' than lift a finger to protect the victims of political correctness run amok."

a solution to the Veterans Administration corruption and inefficiency problem
"There is only one guaranteed way to get fired from the Department of Veterans Affairs.   Falsifying records won't do it.   Prescribing obsolete drugs won't do it.   Cutting all manner of corners on health and safety is, at worst, going to get you a reprimand.   No, the only sure-fire way to get canned at the VA is to report any of these matters to authorities who might do something about it.   That, at least, is what the U.S. Office of Special Counsel recently reported to the president of the United States.   The Special Counsel's office is the agency to which government whistle-blowers go to report wrong-doing..."

Lois Lerner's "partners"
"On October 5, the same day the Supreme Court opens its term, across town at the Washington Marriott Georgetown a group of bureaucrats that has lost 4 times before that court will huddle in a three-day meeting open only one day to the public or the people and entities they regulate.   Unless you are a lawyer representing nonprofit organizations, it's unlikely you've ever heard of NASCO, which is the National Association of State Charity Officials.   These are state officials who work together and even collaborate with federal officials to regulate your favorite charities or nonprofit groups advocating for your constitutional rights.   A 2007 letter from NASCO's then-president Hugh Jones to Lois Lerner describes NASCO as Lerner's 'partner in the regulation of charities'.   Especially in retrospect, that's some admission against interest, as lawyers might say.   Lois Lerner, of course, is the now-former IRS official held in contempt of Congress for refusing to testify about how her Tax Exempt Division targeted and abused conservative nonprofit organizations, and illegally disclosed the names and addresses of donors to at least one.   NASCO members wield influence over citizens' right of private association with causes, the importance of which was described in 1831 by Alexis de Toqueville, and constitutional protections of which were emphasized in the 1958 land-mark decision NAACP v. Alabama.   They enforce charitable solicitation laws, which are a 'prior restraint' on First Amendment rights requiring non-profits to obtain 'solicitation licenses' in about four-fifths of the states.   Prior restraints are the most dangerous form of regulation of First Amendment rights, and indeed some argue are the most important reason why we have the First Amendment protection of the press.   Going back to Blackstone's 1769 Commentaries, we know prior restraints are dangerous because they are a method for censorship.   To know NASCO is to understand why Mr. Jones' 2007 letter to Lois Lerner, in which he discusses a 'sentiment' for charities to become more transparent, is so typical of NASCO's hypocrisy about transparency, honesty and ethics.   Their annual conference was once completely closed off from representatives of non-profit organizations because NASCO did not like being criticized for their questionable and over-bearing tactics.   Indeed, in his 2007 letter to Ms. Lerner, Jones criticizes 'push-back from the non-profit sector'. These bureaucrats do not like criticism from those they regulate, and they are effective at chastening their critics..."

Asia's coal-power climate joke
"As [previously reported at WUWT], there is currently a coal-energy rush occurring in Asia -- both [Red China] and Japan are competing to finance massive industrialization and increased coal-generator capacity in poor countries...   As Japan helpfully explained, they consider building coal plants in poor countries to be 'climate finance', when the coal plants in question are high-efficiency super-critical coal generators..."
