using illegal immigration for political advantage: Shrub and Obummer regimes have imported a new more leftist electorate by the millions
Town Hall
"...announcing a national campaign by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to naturalize legal immigrants and turn them into millions of new voters by 2016.   That's right.   Tax dollars allotted to the agency responsible for safeguarding our borders and ensuring national security are being spent [instead] to facilitate a permanent political sea change next year.   Reporting on the campaign, The New York Times noted that 'about 60% of immigrants eligible to naturalize are Latino and about 20% are Asian, both groups that voted overwhelmingly for [President Obummer].   Nearly a third of legal permanent residents eligible to naturalize are Mexican.'...   J. Christian Adams, a former Justice Department Voting Section attorney and a Policy Board member of the American Civil Rights Union, wrote on April 23rd in PJMedia.com that, 'DHS sources report that racial interest groups such as La Raza (translated to The Race) and the American Immigration Lawyers Association [AILA] have been playing a central and influential role in rewriting [worsening] the [Obummer regime's] immigration policies -- both the public policies as well as internal and largely unseen guide-lines.'   The National Council of La Raza's former senior-vice-president for the Office of Research, Advocacy and Legislation, Cecilia Munoz, an assistant to the president and director of the Domestic Policy Council, co-chairs the Task Force on New Americans...   DHS is funneling millions of tax dollars to groups that back amnesty and naturalization [of illegal aliens]..."

John Boehner: one of USA's failures; is Mitch McConnell the next to go?
"God is truly merciful -- John Boehner has announced he will step down as speaker of the House at the end of October!   Boehner -- like senate [majority-loser] Mitch McConnell -- has long conspired against the will of the voters.   And scrutiny of their weak and destructive deeds has intensified since the people overwhelmingly voted in a conservative majority in both the House and senate to stop [Barack Hussein Obummer's] relentless push to destroy America.   What does it say about us that we end up with leaders like John Boehner?   Boehner promised to defund [ObummerDoesn'tCare], yet funded it, as he has helped fund [Obummer's] entire wish list.   On 2014 November 21, the Hill quoted Boehner regarding [Obummer's unconstitutional and illegal] executive-order amnesty: '[T]he House will, in fact, act.'   If the House acted, apparently we all missed it.   The House provided little government oversight over Benghazi, the IRS, the Veterans Administration health-care scandal, NSA spying, Hillary Clinton's e-mail scandal or anything else of importance to the American people.   In fact, it's safe to say that corruption grew under Boehner's [losership]...   I hope the American people will see that while Boehner's coming departure is great news, replacing him with another unprincipled deal-maker is not going to cut it.   We must pay close attention to our government, and choose only men and women of character to represent us.   But to do that, we ourselves must be men and women of character.   Ultimately, John Boehner is not a failure -- he is [the USA's] failure."

top 6 reasons GOP wins in federal government shut-down
"As voters watch another potential government shut-down, they expect Republicans to fold.   Even though voters sent them to Washington in a historic landslide, they still didn't get the message.   The government shut down 5 times under Jimmy Carter's administration.   Democrats had control of both houses of Congress, and they apparently were afraid of a shut-down.   The government has been shut down 18 times since 1976...   Sadly, too many Washington politicians subsist so deep inside the Washington bubble that they don't hear the rumble of the conservatives marching for their heads.   Boehner was just the head of the octopus.   Americans don't understand why politicians are so afraid to shut down the government, and why any politician would support the funding of Planned Parenthood.   If there were ever an issue to warrant a shut-down, it is Planned Parenthood selling baby body parts for profit...

Mark Levin to RINO sycophants & leftist media: Boehner is not courageous
"'You want to see courageous? You go to the Arlington National Cemetery.   That's courageous.', Levin said.   'You want to see courageous? You go to the [National Law Enforcement Officers] Memorial in Washington DC.   Go to Walter Reed.   That's where courageous is.'   Levin continued by saying, 'don't tell me some Speaker of the House who is going to retire on a 25-year pension and then go to K Street and make a million or two bucks is courageous.   One thing John Boehner is not is courageous'.   He said House majority-whip representative Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), who many in the GOP establishment think will replace Boehner as speaker, is 'Eric Cantor with 10 less IQ points' and was 'concerned that Republicans don't learn their lesson on Capitol Hill...   We are smarter than the leaders of the Republican Party.   We are better than the leaders of the Republican Party.', Levin said.   'We understand what is going on in this country and we are sick and tired of them funding the [Obummer] agenda.'   Levin said that we need need a movement of constitutionalists, people who love the country, people who insist that the Constitution be followed, and 'if that means the government is shut down for 3 weeks, then by God the government is shut down for 3 weeks'.   'You put those bills on his desk and let him shut down the government.', Levin told GOP law-makers.   '[Obummer] may have a pen and he may have an [ObummerPhone] but we have a Constitution.   Now use it.'..."

Obummer plans to give jobs, and citizenship to foreign students
"...If [Obummer] succeeds, he would make life tougher for young and middle-aged American graduates, who are already facing wage-cutting competition from the roughly 1M white-collar guest-workers that the U.S. government allows to live in the United States.   The extra foreign graduates would also deter young Americans from high-tech careers, and provide the Democratic Party with more donations and more voters.   But [Obummer's] hack would also spotlight a large opportunity for any GOP 2016 candidate eager to win votes from [the USA's] young college-grads, their parents and the hard-pressed professional sector.   So far, only Donald Trump has seized the opportunity by promising to make foreign guest-workers more expensive to hire.   If he is elected, and reforms the H-1B program, he'd likely transfer roughly 600K guest-worker jobs [back] to American graduates [or at least some proportion of them]..."

German Jews fear results of welcome of "migrants"/ "refugees"/ "asylees"/ invaders/ terrorists
"They have come to this city by the tens of thousands, propelled by German chancellor Angela Merkel's pledge to welcome at least 800K asylum seekers into the country.   Many are Syrians, but there also are migrants from Iraq, Pakistan, Albania, Afghanistan and other countries...   But many Jews are watching the wave of migrants flocking to Germany with some measure of alarm, concerned with what a massive influx of Arabs could mean for Germany's Jews and the country's relationship with Israel.   'This is not yet France, this is not yet London/' said one Israeli who has lived in Berlin for about 10 years and asked not to be identified.   'Yet', he added pointedly..."

emperor Obummer's moral narcissism
"12 years ago, it was said that the western armies in Iraq would be welcomed as liberators.   (They were -- for a while.)   Today in Germany, another conquering army are being welcomed as liberators -- liberators from the residual moral stain of what remains of ethnic nationalism and cultural identity.   Watching European news broadcasts right now is like an insane demotic inversion of the Emperor's new clothes.   'To a fool these thousands of fit young Muslim men appear well dressed and well fed.   But a wise man such as Your Majesty can easily see that they are desperate starving refugees in rags.'   And so as the trains pull in to German railway stations to disgorge men who meet no known definition of 'refugees' they are greeted on the platform by volunteers offering food and second-hand clothes.   The cameras do their best to alight on a telegenic moppet or a covered woman, but, even when they do, you notice that they're surrounded by a sea of confident vigorous males -- who, according to the UN, make up 75% of the 'refugees'.   That would be an unusual demographic distortion in most emergency situations.   If 75% of the Titanic's survivors had been men who'd left their women and children back on the ship, there might have been a few disapproving comments.   But not here.   And why complain that the Syrian refugees aren't really 'refugees'?   After all, they're not Syrian either.   Only 1 in 5 of the arriving migrants are Syrians fleeing the implosion of their country.   To be sure, there are a lot of Syrian refugees.   1 in 4 people in Lebanon right now is a displaced Syrian.   That's the equivalent of America taking in 100M Mexicans -- or Canadians, if there were such a thing as 100M Canadians.   But the vast majority of those marching across the Continent to the bountiful welfare states of the north-west are economic migrants lured by western weakness..."

integrating immigration controls into daily life
"My wife and I are frequent watchers of the television show 'House Hunters International'...   Contrary to the usual obliqueness toward visas and permits exhibited by the show, the work visa was mentioned repeatedly during this episode, and for an interesting reason: In Namibia foreigners need to attach physical evidence of their legal status with their sale or rental documents to purchase or rent a home.   In fact, you can't apply for a job, open a bank account, or obtain a mobile phone without providing proof of your legal status...   Can you imagine? A nation that takes its immigration laws seriously enough that it integrates enforcement into daily living, making it extremely difficult, if not impossible, for aliens to reside and work illegally.   Here in the United States we can't even get our act together enough to require E-Verify as a means to impede aliens from working unlawfully.   And we wonder why we have a population of 11M-12M [even 30M by some estimates] aliens living illegally in the country.   Perhaps we could learn a thing or two from other nations, including those in the developing world, where they obviously care enough for the native workforce to want to protect their ability and right to live decently and raise their families without competing against individuals with no right to be in the country."

secretive alien millionaires file EB-5 class-action case
"...Ah, but then there is Zhang v.

how Obummer can get the "migrants"/ "refugees"/ "asylees"/ invaders/ terrorists to leave
"If Dr. Jonas Salk [were Obummer], he would have spent the early 1950s crafting wheel-chairs rather than curing polio.   Similarly missing the point, [Obummer] wants to accept 100K [to 250K] Syrian and Iraqi refugees who have washed up on Europe's shores.   Alas, wheel-chairs cannot kill viruses, and refugee camps cannot erase the root cause of this humanitarian catastrophe: ISIL/ ISIS/ Daesh/ IS/ caliphate and its mayhem in Syria and Iraq.   [Obummer] should lead the west in killing ISIL/ ISIS/ Daesh/ IS/ caliphate, so that these refugees can go home, and their countrymen need not dash madly across the Mediterranean.   While ISIL/ ISIS/ Daesh/ IS/ caliphate chops heads and blasts villages, [Obummer] bears much blame for this blood-shed.   Desperate to 'end' rather than win the Iraq War, [Obummer] yanked out all American troops, failing to leave behind a stabilization force of perhaps 10K GIs -- much like those brave Americans in uniform who still help maintain the post-World War 2 peace in Germany, Italy, and Japan.   Just as dirt rushes into a vacuum cleaner, ISIL/ ISIS/ Daesh/ IS/ caliphate raced into the void created when [Obummer] prematurely withdrew from Iraq.   The ensuing battle against ISIL/ ISIS/ Daesh/ IS/ caliphate oscillates between the cosmetic and the inadequate.   '[Obummer] mostly has stiffed the Kurdish Peshmerga on armored vehicles, weapons, and ammunition.', says J.D. Gordon, former Pentagon spokesman and executive director of Protect America Today.   'Even though they are the most effective ground force fighting ISIL/ ISIS/ Daesh/ IS/ caliphate, the Iraqi government offers just a fraction of what Peshmerga needs.   Baghdad worries that, post-ISIS, heavily armed Kurds will declare independence.'   ISIL/ ISIS/ Daesh/ IS/ caliphate fighters rolled into Ramadi, Iraq last May 17.   On a bright desert highway, they rode unchallenged in pickup trucks and triumphantly waved their black flags of death in broad daylight -- far from civilians and potential collateral damage.   With their two-ton Gatling guns firing 70 rounds per second, a few well-placed A-10 Warthog jets could have converted these scumbags into burger, never to bother anyone again.   What a wasted opportunity..."
What does it take for people to add 2 + 2 and realize that Obummer wants ISIL/ ISIS/ Daesh/ IS/ caliphate, wants the shiites and the sunnis to be victorious, just as Boehner and McConnell want the leftists/Reds/Dems in the USA congress to be victorious?

the "affordable housing" fraud American Spectator Human Events Town Hall National Review Real Clear Politics
"One of the first things taught in an introductory economics course is supply and demand.   When a growing population creates a growing demand for housing, and the government blocks housing from being built, the price of existing housing goes up.   This is not a breakthrough on the frontiers of knowledge.   Economists have understood supply and demand for centuries -- and so have many other people who never studied economics.   Housing prices in San Francisco, and in many other communities for miles around, were once no higher than in the rest of the United States.   But, beginning in the 1970s, housing prices in these communities skyrocketed to 3 or 4 times the national average.   Why? Because local government laws and policies severely restricted, or banned outright, the building of anything on vast areas of land.   This is called preserving 'open space'...   Was it just a coincidence that some other parts of the country saw skyrocketing housing prices when similar severe restrictions on building went into effect?   Or that similar policies in other countries have had the same effect?   How 'complex' is that?"

half-baked reflections on speaker John Boehner and the House Republicans
Yes, Obummer can veto, and a Republican House with a back-bone can come back with more cuts to chastise Obummer and the Reds/Dems/leftists. And if he vetoes that, they can subtract more from the leftists/Reds/Dems' unconstitutional crony socialist agenda... until they get the message.

Capitol Hill GOP must clean house to unify the party
"Grass-roots conservatives watched in [reserved hopefulness] as speaker of the House John Boehner formally declared that he was resigning as speaker and from congress 'to protect this institution that we all love'.   During John Boehner's tenure as speaker, the House as an institution ceded to the president more of its institutional power -- as defined by the Constitution -- than at any other time in the history of our constitutional republic.   Boehner's squandering of the 2014 landslide victory, lack of principle and absolute refusal to stand for and defend the vital role of the House of Representatives in our three coequal branch system of government is the direct cause of the grass-roots conservative rebellion that ultimately drove him from the speaker's office.   What's more, John Boehner's lies and failures to stand for the conservative principles Republicans campaign on have caused a major schism in the Republican Party, and under his stewardship Congress has some of the lowest approval ratings since Mark Twain famously said, 'There is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress.'   Here are just a few examples of why the conservative grass-roots of the GOP has been threatening to bolt the Republican Party..."

Republican leaders must stop holding themselves hostage
"One of the hall-marks of John Boehner's speakership has been the complete failure of regular order in the House, despite his many promises for a 'return to regular order'.   Rather than move bills through committee, have Members move amendments and have up or down votes on those amendments there has been a closed process in the Boehner-run House -- especially on spending bills.   Bills were for all practical purposes written in the speaker's office, moved only through the Rules committee (chaired by Boehner do-boy Texas representative Pete Sessions) and then submitted at the last minute on a take it or leave it basis to reluctant House Members.   The result was not a check on the overweening ambition and lawless lust for power of [president Barack Hussein Obummer], but a legislative branch that lurched from one crisis to another, even as House establishment Republican [losers] constantly talked about the need to show voters they could 'govern'.   Yet back in 2010, just as the Tea Party wave election was about to elevate Boehner to the speakership, this is what Boehner had to say about the lack of regular order when Democrats ran congress and San Francisco [leftist] Nancy Pelosi was speaker: 'We need to stop writing bills in the speaker's office and let members of congress be legislators again...'...   Boehner in 2010 was right -- there was nothing to fear from the battle of ideas and more scrutiny from congressional committees.   Unless, that is, you are one of the special interests that benefit from the Big Government alliance between congressional insiders of both political parties and Big Business.   If you want the Ex-Im Bank to continue to operate to subsidize your exports to shady Third World dictators, if you want the 'No Child Left Behind' program (originally authored by John Boehner we note for the record) to grow into [Communist Corpse], or if you want budget busting highway and farm bills, then the last thing you want is the battle of ideas and more scrutiny from committees and Members who will uphold the Constitution, vote their conscience, and represent the 600K-odd people in their districts.   And the reason you don't want an open 'battle of ideas' process that allows Members to uphold the Constitution, vote their conscience, and represent the 600K-odd people in their districts is because more often than not under such a process the conservative ideas of less spending, less government and more liberty would win and Big Government would lose.   The only way Boehner and his Big Government [regressive] Republican [losership] team could possibly satisfy the demands of their paymasters in the Wall Street + Washington + Silicon Valley Axis was to constantly hold conservatives, and themselves, hostage to a seemingly endless series of government shutdown crises, where the only alternative given a vote was to cave in to the demands for more spending and more power for [Obummer].   This was true on the fight to de-fund [ObummerDoesn'tCare], the various debt ceiling battles, the CRomnibus, the non-fight to de-fund [Obumer's unconstitutional and illegal] executive amnesty [for illegal aliens], the Corker [anti-constitution bill to try to work around the constitutional requirement for two-thirds of the US senate to approve treaties, including the Trans-Pacific Partnership and Obummer's treaty to let Iran develop nuclear weapons] and a host of other issues large and small.   As Republicans weigh the candidates in the coming leadership elections that will set the tone in the House for the post-Boehner era the most important quality they should look for is a commitment to regular order that will return each Member to his or her rightful status as a 'Representative', not a hostage to the special interests who benefit from government by crisis.   The first test of whether or not the new House Republican leaders are willing to abandon Boehner's policy of government by crisis and taking himself hostage is how the Continuing Resolution (CR) to fund the government in the post-Boehner era is handled.   If there's a short term CR that goes through the first part of 2016 January and gives Congress time to work its will and set the stage for the presidential election with a conservative spending plan for Fiscal Year 2016, then that is a sign the new leaders are ready stop holding themselves hostage, abandon government by crisis, and that the Boehner era is truly over.   If, however, the CR ends on 2015 December 11, the last day congress is scheduled to be in session before the Christmas holiday break, then you should understand that while the names may have changed, the failed Boehner government by crisis strategy hasn't, and the need for a thorough house cleaning in the top ranks of the Capitol Hill GOP is stronger than ever."

Lois Lerner's "partners" and her "mini-me"
"Conservatives who now know about the lawless, arrogant ex-federal bureaucrat lawyer Lois Lerner may wish to know that her 'farm team' meets at the Washington Marriott Georgetown October 5-7.   Last week I wrote at American Thinker about the little-known organization called NASCO, the National Association of State Charity Officials.   NASCO consists of government bureaucrats who, like Lois Lerner, are supposed to be nonpartisan, but frequently are statist partisans who abuse government power.   They operate between conservatives and the causes they support, and too many show contempt for -- even ignorance of -- constitutional rights and the rule of law over them.   You'll find few if any conservatives among NASCO's most influential members, and they are particularly harsh on non-profit organizations that don't rely on government funding [i.e. initiated force, fraud, and crony socialism]..."

Donald Trump: I don't believe Marco Rubio read Obummer's TAA + TPA + TPP package before voting for it
Seth McLaughlin: Washington DC Times
"The TPP text was locked away inside a secret room in the basement of the U.S. Capitol -- as Breitbart News reported time and again -- and the only place members could read it was inside that room.   So, to have actually read it before voting for it, since TPP was around 800 pages long according to senator Rand Paul (R-KY), Rubio would have had to spend around 2 full business days [or 1 or 2 hours if he were a speed-reader] inside the room reading the bill [but even then the 'side-agreements' were supposedly never shown to anyone in the USA congress]...   What's more, Rubio's vote for TPA fast-tracked 2 other trade deals that it's impossible for him to have known what's in them -- the Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA) and the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TATIP) -- since the text of those deals wasn't even available to members of congress never mind the public in the way that TPP was available to elected members of congress..."

"...Our national heritage is being destroyed and our national security is in danger.   Our constitutional republic founded on Judeo-Christian principles is totally incompatible with Islam and Shariah law...   Japan has chosen to approach Islam differently, both officially and publicly and so has avoided the problems of the West.   At the diplomatic level, senior officials in Japan rarely entertain Muslim leaders and rarely visit Muslim countries.   The relationship extends only to the Japanese importation of oil and gas products from some Muslim countries.   Muslims who go to Japan are usually employees of foreign companies, although the official policy is to deny entry to Muslims, even engineers, doctors and managers.   Japanese corporations seeking foreign workers let it be known that Muslims need not apply.   Construction workers brought in through foreign contractors keep a very low profile.."

global push to increase government extortion

"...Like the Scots in Britain, the Walloons in Belgium and the Italians of Veneto, they want to live apart, not together.   While the pope called on America and Europe to welcome the migrant millions of the Third World, bishop Laszlo Kiss-Rigo, whose diocese stretches across the southern reaches of Catholic Hungary, says of those pouring into Europe: 'They're not refugees.   This is an invasion.   They come here with cries of Allahu Akbar.   They want to take over.'   The bishop hailed prime-minister Viktor Orban, who denounced any open door: 'Everything which is now taking place before our eyes threatens to have explosive consequences for the whole of Europe.   We must acknowledge that the European Union's misguided immigration policy is responsible for this situation.   We shouldn't forget that the people who are coming here grew up in a different religion and represent a completely different culture.   Most are not Christian, but Muslim...   That is an important question, because Europe and European culture have Christian roots.'   The Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland joined Hungary in voting to reject EU quotas for migrants.   Under pressure from her allies in Bavaria, even Angela Merkel is re-imposing border controls.   A back-lash against 'refugees', 'migrants' and 'asylum seekers' from Africa and the Islamic world is sweeping Europe.   Marine Le Pen, leader of the National Front, the strongest anti-EU party in Europe, has called on Paris to ship all migrants back across the Mediterranean.   This was the solution Dwight Eisenhower settled on in 'Operation Wetback', when he ordered general Joseph Swing to send the million aliens in Texas illegally back to Mexico in 1954.   Swing did as ordered.   Indeed, the call to repatriate the 12M aliens here illegally has been a propellant behind the candidacy of GOP front-runner Donald Trump.   Behind this rising resistance to illegal and mass migration is human nature -- the innate desire of peoples of one tribe or nation, who share a common language, history, faith, culture, traditions and identity, to live together -- and to live apart from all the rest..."

Obummer brought 1,519 known terrorists into the USA
Caroline May: Breitbart
"The [Obummer regime] allowed 1,519 terror-stained foreign refugees into the U.S.A. last year because their crimes were allegedly committed 'while under duress'.   The administration last year eased federal restrictions against terrorist activity for refugees and asylum seekers.   Under the old rules, these 1,519 foreign nationals would have been banned from entering the country because they supported terrorist causes.   But under the new rules for vetting refugees, the secretary of Homeland Security [Jeh Johnson] has 'discretionary authority' to waive certain cases of inadmissibility relating to terrorist activity.   A person could have provided shelter or sold a weapon to a terrorist, for instance, then claimed he did not know that the person being helped was a terrorist or that he was forced to provide the aid under duress.   'We've seen this discretionary authority abused in the last few years and, in fact, the administration has eliminated a zero-tolerance policy for granting asylum or residency to individuals who have provided any sort of terrorism-related support', said a release from Judicial Watch Tuesday.   The watch-dog agency said the federal government's latest available figures for granting asylum or residency to foreigners participating in terrorist causes are 'incredibly disturbing, especially since the agency charged with keeping the nation safe, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), appears to downplay the seriousness of the crimes'.   Judicial Watch obtained the numbers from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services [USCIS] annual report to congress on the DHS secretary's application of discretionary authority.   The biggest chunk of exemptions was processed for refugee applicants and lawful permanent resident status with 806 and 614, respectively.   The [Obummer regime] took in 70K foreign 'refugees' in FY2015, which ends Sept. 30, and [the corrupt Obummer] has decided to increase that number to 85,000 in 2016 and 100K in 2017.   In addition to the 'refugees', the U.S. takes in about 25K 'asylees' every year..."

ombudsmen, sinecures, and non-enforcement (disguised or not)
"The Oxford Dictionary defines the word ombudsman as 'an official appointed to investigate individuals' complaints against mal-administration, especially that of public authorities'.   In theory this is an excellent concept, particularly since it occupies a gap not usually filled by watch-dog organizations like inspectors-general, which generally focus on issues such as outright malfeasance, crimes, and internal corruption rather than on poor administrative practices.   But where immigration matters are concerned, leave it to the [Obummer regime] to skew even the most fundamentally sound concepts.   It placed ombudsman positions in two key Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agencies: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), which is responsible for adjudicating immigration benefits applications, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (US ICE), which handles immigration enforcement throughout the interior of the country.   The exclusive focus of each of these ombudsman offices is complaints filed by aliens and/or their attorneys.   Complaints about agency practices or biases in favor of illegal aliens and beneficiary applicants over citizens or lawful residents have been uniformly ignored.   This should not be a surprise given that the individuals were hand-picked for the jobs by White House and DHS leaders whose own focus is skewed in favor of applicants and illegal aliens.   The lopsidedness at US ICE was particularly outrageous.   Agency practices involving the release of criminal aliens, or acceptance of sanctuary practices by states and local governments also involving release of criminal aliens, resulted in recidivists hitting the streets and committing horrific crimes.   The US ICE ombudsman, Andrew Lorenzen-Strait, while oozing sympathy for aliens in detention or facing removal proceedings, turned a blind eye to the pain of victims and survivors of the alien recidivists.   As I observed in a 2014 March posting, the agency has been so callous about the rights of victims that it even denied a Freedom of Information Act request for data about an illegal alien by the citizen who was maimed by that alien, falsely claiming that providing the information would violate the alien's privacy rights.   (Illegal aliens have no privacy rights under the federal Privacy Act.)   CIS Director of Policy Studies Jessica Vaughan noted in May that, 'ICE devotes very few resources to victim assistance and notification programs, and these meager efforts are focused primarily on helping victims of human trafficking rather than those who have been harmed by alien criminals.   In fact, the only ombudsman type of position US ICE has established -- and maintained even in the face of specific congressional de-funding of the position -- focuses on aiding illegal aliens, not their victims.'   The imbalance in Lorenzen-Strait's ombudsman role was so obvious that Congress voted to abolish the position; because the vote was a rider to a budget bill, it was signed into law by the president.   But what do you do with such a faithful lapdog when his position has been eliminated? Easy-peasy! You create a new position for him.   Meet Andrew Lorenzen-Strait Version 2.0, the ICE deputy assistant director for custody programs, in which role he will be doing... well, pretty much what he was doing before: ensuring that no alien ever gets deported.   Last week Breitbart News reported that, under Lorenzen-Strait's steadfast direction, US ICE is initiating a comprehensive (translate 'expensive') new program that pairs illegal aliens with social workers, at government expense..."

Oklahoma again reports increased revenue from taxes on wired remittances
"With the U.S.A. congress apparently poised to reduce fees on employers who hire massive numbers of foreign workers, a 'loss' to the government of between $100M and $250M, it is a pleasure to note that Oklahoma continues to collect increasing amounts of money from its tax on wire transfers of money made by individuals (many of whom are illegal aliens).   Oklahoma, as we report every year at about this time, collects 1% from all out-going, out-of-state, person-to-person wire transfers of money; many of these transfers are remittances from illegal aliens in Oklahoma to their relatives in their homelands.   It is the only state to do so.   The money is not, strictly speaking, a tax; it is a deduction, much like what most Americans find in their regular pay stubs.   If you pay your state income taxes, you can use these 1 percent deductions as a tax credit.   In that case the whole procedure is a wash.   But Oklahoma tax officials told us a year or so ago that 96% of the wire transfer fees are not used as income tax credits -- so the great bulk of the funds are additional revenues to the state, all taken from people who do not pay their state income taxes.   This should be a dream for politicians -- 96% of this funding source is being collected from people who are tax cheats and who cannot vote..."

for decades, Libertarian and Green party candidates have sought the same participation in debates, freebie media exposure the Reps and Dems get
"The Libertarian and Green parties -- along with their respective presidential candidates Gary Johnson and Jill Stein -- filed a law-suit Tuesday in federal court, charging that the exclusion of 'qualified candidates' from the general election presidential debates by the Commission on Presidential Debates violates federal anti-trust laws. 'For over 25 years, the Commission on Presidential Debates has used millions of dollars in tax-deductible contributions from big corporations to rig the rules, keeping Americans from hearing from anyone but the two old parties in debates.', said Nicholas Sarwark, chairman of the National Libertarian Committee. 'If 2 teams got together to make sure that only they could make it to the Super Bowl, people would be outraged at the cheating. With this lawsuit, we're standing up for the right of Americans to have fair debates between all candidates who are on enough ballots to become president.', Mr. Sarwark noted."

senator Ted Cruz: the real story of what is happening in Washington DC
"AllahPundit": Hot Air
"Mr. President, there is a reason the American people are fed up with Washington.   There is a reason the American people are frustrated.   The frustration is not simply mild or passing or ephemeral.   It is volcanic.   Over and over again, the American people go to the ballot box, over and over again, the American people rise up and say the direction we're going doesn't make sense.   We want change.   Over and over again, the American people win elections.   In 2010, a tidal wave election.   In 2014, a tidal wave election.   And yet, nothing changes in Washington.   Mr. President, I'd like to share with you and the American people the real story of what is happening in Washington [DC].   Why is it that our 'leaders' cannot stop bankrupting this country, cannot stop the assault on our constitutional rights, cannot stop America's retreat from leadership in the world?   It's a very simple dynamic when you have two sides allegedly in a political battle.   One side that is relentlessly, unshakably committed to its principles, and the other side [whose losership] reflexively surrenders at the outset.   The outcome is fore other detained.   I will give [president Obummer] and the senate Dems/Reds/leftists credit.   They believe in principles of big government.   They believe in this relentless assault on our constitutional rights, and they are willing to crawl over broken glass with a knife between their teeth to fight for those principles.   Unfortunately, leadership on my side of the aisle does not demonstrate the same commitment to principles.   Now, how is it you might wonder that a preemptive surrender is put in place? Well, it all begins with the relatively innocuous statement there shall be no shut-downs.   That is a statement leadership in both houses, Republican [losership] in both houses has said: 'We're not going to shut the government down.'   You could understand the folks in the private sector, folks at home -- that sounds perfectly reasonable.   Except here's the reality in Washington.   In today's Washington, there are 3 kinds of votes.   There are, number one, show votes, show votes, show votes.   Votes that are brought up largely to placate the voters where the outcome is fore-ordained, where most Republicans will vote one way, Democrats will vote the other, Republicans will lose, and the conservatives who elected Republican majorities in both houses are supposed to be thrilled that they have been patted on the head and given their show vote that was destined to lose.   We had a vote like that in recent weeks on Planned Parenthood.   [Losership] told us: 'You should be thrilled.   We voted on it.   What else do you want?'   We voted on it in a context where it would never happen.   And indeed it didn't.   The second kind of vote are votes that simply grow government, that dramatically expend spending, expand corporate welfare, and those votes, Mr. President, those votes passed.   Because you get a bipartisan coalition of Republican [losership] and Democrat, both of whom are convinced that career politicians will get re-elected if they keep growing and growing government, and in particular, handing out corporate welfare to giant corporations.   Oh, boy, if you have got the lobbyists on K street pushing for something, you can get 60, 70, 80 votes in this chamber because Republican [losership] loves it, and Democrats are always willing to grow government.   And then there's a third kind of vote.   Votes on must-pass legislation.   In an era when one side, the Democratic Party, is adamantly committed to continuing down this path that is causing so many millions of Americans to hurt, must-pass votes are the only votes that have real consequence in this chamber.   They typically fall into one of 3 categories -- either continuing resolution or an omnibus appropriation bill or a debt ceiling increase.   Each of those 3 are deemed must-pass votes, and if you actually want to change law, those are the only hopes of doing so.   But I mentioned before you have got one side that has preemptively surrendered.   Republican leadership has said: 'We will never, ever, ever shut down the government.'   And suddenly, [president Barack Hussein Obummer] understands the easy key to winning every battle.   He simply has to utter the word 'shut-down', and Republican [losership] runs to the hills.   So [president Barack Hussein Obummer] demands of congress fund every bit of [the evil unconstitutional national socialist ObummerDoesn'tCare], 100% of it, and do nothing, zero, for the millions of Americans who are hurting, millions of Americans who have lost their jobs, who have lost their health care, who have lost their doctors, who have been worsted into part-time work, millions of young people who have seen their premiums sky-rocket.   [President Barack Hussein Obummer] says you can do nothing for the people that are hurting.   Senate Democrats say: 'We don't care about the people who are hurting.   We'll do nothing for them.'   And here's the kicker.   [President Barack Hussein Obummer] promises, 'if you try to do anything on [ObummerDoesn'tcare], I, [Barack Hussein Obummer], will veto funding for the entire federal government and shut it down,’ and Republican leadership compliantly says, 'Okay, fine, we'll fund Obamacare.'   [President Barack Hussein Obummer] then -- understanding he's got a pretty good trump card here he can pull out any time -- next he says, 'Okay, Republicans, fund my unconstitutional executive amnesty.   It's contrary to law.   It's flouting federal immigration law.   But you, Republicans, fund it anyway, or else I, [Barack Hussein Obummer], will veto funding for the entire federal government and shut it down.', and Republican [losership] says at the outset, 'Okay, we'll fund amnesty.'   And now you turn to Planned Parenthood.   [Barack Obummer], this will surprise no one, says, 'Fund 100% of Planned Parenthood with [tax-victim] money.'   Mind you, Planned Parenthood is a private organization.   It's not even part of the government, but it happens to be politically favored by [president Barack Hussein Obummer] and the Reds/Dems/leftists.   Planned Parenthood is also the subject of multiple criminal investigations for being caught on [video-recordings] apparently carrying out a pattern of on-going felonies.   In ordinary times, the proposition that we should not be sending your and my father's [tax-victim] money to fund a private organization under multiple criminal investigations, that ought to be a 100-0 vote.   But I mentioned before [Baarack Hussein Obummer] is absolutely committed to his partisan objectives.   He is like The Terminator.   He never stops.   He never gives up.   He moves forward and forward and forward.   So what does he say?   'If you don't fund this one private organization that's not part of the government, that's under multiple criminal investigations, I, [Barack Hussein Obummer], will veto funding for the entire federal government and shut it down.'   And what does Republican [losership] say?   Well, it will surprise no one.   Republican [losership] says, 'We surrender.   We will fund Planned Parenthood.'   You know, [president Obummer] has negotiated a catastrophic nuclear [treaty] with Iran..."
They should have been fighting ObummerDoesn'tCare tooth-and-nail, back in 2009 and the Spring of 2010, but instead they surrendered.   They should have fought the federal over-spending every single week of every single month of every single year, but instead they surrendered.   They should have been and should continue to fight against Obummer's treaty to let Iran develop nuclear weapons and delivery systems, every single day, every single week, every single month. They should have been opposing Obummer's appointments, every one of them, every day, but instead they surrendered.

never again? really?
"...Barna Research conducted the poll, asking the question: 'Think back to World War 2 when Jews in Europe were forced into concentration camps and many were killed by the Nazis.   If you were living in this time period, would you have risked the possible imprisonment and death of yourself and your family to hide Jews?'   69% said they would while 31% said they would not, with males more likely than females to answer in the affirmative.   I saw a statistic recently that blew my mind: According to the latest FBI hate-crimes statistics, Jews are consistently targeted for their faith more often than members of any other religious group, with anti-Semitic crimes accounted for roughly 60% of religious hate crimes last year.   That's in [the USA] -- in 2014.   We hear so much about supposed 'hate crimes' against Muslims in [the USA] following 2001/09/11.   Yet, by comparison, 13 percent of religious hate crimes are said to be perpetrated against Muslims -- slightly ahead of those committed against Catholics.   Anti-Semitism is alive and well in the USA.   It's truly shocking -- as is this poll.   Of course, worldwide there is, again, a movement fomented in nations like Iran, [organizations like] the Palestinian Authority and terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah to destroy Israel and kill all the Jews.   The tentacles of this movement are global..."

4 ways we're enabling, even exalting child abuse
"America has become desensitized to sexual abuse of the children we have a duty to protect.   Many Americans are now comfortable with -- or indifferent to -- the normalization and white-washing of child corruption.   Here are some recent examples I hope stir some minds and hearts.   Example #1: A full-page ad appeared in USA Today on Sept. 23 from a group that has grown in power even as its message, at its core, has become more radical and child-endangering.   GLSEN, the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, ran the ad to encourage support for its 'Ally Week' (Sept. 28- Oct. 2) with the headline, 'Respect My Pronouns'.   Middle- and high-school students are needed as allies to peers who are 'LGBTQ'.   Don't we really know what that means?   Pat your friend on the back and respect that growing attraction to high-risk sodomy or his/her intention to amputate healthy body parts as soon as a willing surgeon can be found.   A teen 'he' should be respected as 'she' in GLSEN's deviant world..."

argument over federal government over-spending likely to continue
"...the 3rd congress only met from 1793 December to 1794 June, and then again from 1794 November to 1795 March.   The 18th congress deliberated for 5 months in 1823-1824, and less than 90 days in 1824-1825.   Even as late as the 1880s, as squabbling over industrial and agricultural problems mushroomed, sessions averaged only about 5 months per year.   Conversely, whenever presidents in the 19th century attempted to spend too much money, congress frequently retaliated by proposing cuts to the executive branch.   It tried seven times to abolish the office of vice president.   Not only would money be saved from such action, sponsors argued, but it would also prevent the office from 'being carried into the market to be exchanged for the votes of some large states' for president...   president Chester Arthur. The 'extravagant expenditure of public money', he wrote, 'is an evil not to be measured by the value of the money to the people who are taxed for it'.   Much clearer was Calvin Coolidge's observation that 'if the federal government should go out of existence, the common run of the people would not detect the difference...for a considerable length of time'.   William McKinley wanted the government to be businesslike, with the model being 'to pay as it goes -- not by resorting to loans, but by keeping out of debt -- through an adequate income secured by a system of taxation, external or internal, or both.'   And it was Grover Cleveland who first cautioned against what government could do for [and to] the average citizen.   'The lessons of paternalism', he argued, 'ought to be unlearned and the better lesson taught that while the people should patriotically and cheerfully support their government, its functions do not include support of the people.'...   Benjamin Harrison believed that a little surplus wasn’t a bad idea..."

Ted Kennedy's war against the USA turns 50
"Half a century ago, Democrats looked at the country and realized they were never going to convince Americans to agree with them.   But they noticed that people in most other countries of the world already agreed with them.   The solution was obvious.   So in 1965 -- 50 years ago this week -- senator Ted Kennedy passed an immigration law that has brought 59M foreigners to our shores, who happened to vote 8-2 for the Democrats.   Democrats haven't won any arguments; they changed the voters.   If anything, the Democrats have stopped bothering to appeal to Americans.   The new feminized Democratic Party says, 'That's too bad about those steel-workers in Ohio losing their jobs, but THERE'S A WOMAN AT A LAW FIRM IN NEW YORK CITY WHO DESERVES TO MAKE PARTNER!'   Republicans should be sweeping the country, but they aren't, because of Kennedy's immigration law.   Without post-1965 immigrants bloc-voting for the Democrats, [Obummer] never would have been elected president, and Romney would have won a bigger land-slide against him in 2012 than Reagan did against Carter in 1980.   This isn't a guess; it's a provable fact.   [Obummer] beat Romney by about 5M votes in a presidential election in which about 125M votes were cast.   More than 30M of [Obummer's] votes came from people who arrived under Teddy Kennedy's immigration law; fewer than 10M of Romney's did.   The 1965 act brought in the poorest of the poor from around the globe.   Non-English-speaking peasants from wildly backward cultures could be counted on to be dependent on government assistance for generations to come.   Kennedy and other Dems/Reds/leftists swore up and down that the new immigration law would not change the country's demographics, but post-1965-act immigrants are nothing like the people who already lived here..."

"Among the flurry of support that the latest Muslim provocateur -- 14-year-old faux-clock-bomb maker Ahmed Mohamed -- received earlier this month was a posting by facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg, reading, 'Having the skill and ambition to build something cool should lead to applause, not arrest. The future belongs to people like Ahmed.'   He can say that again. The future belongs to young Muslim males making what look like bombs. That writing has been on the wall for so long, it's fading. Moral of the story: If you see something, say something. Unless of course you're a teacher and one of your students brings something that looks like a bomb to class. Then you definitely shouldn't say anything. Especially if the student has a Muslim name..."

assassination of a Libyan smuggling boss will change nothing
"A friend sent me a curious news item from the British on-line Telegraph outlining the assassination of a Libyan 'migrant' smuggler and 8 of his bodyguards.   The man was apparently at the apex of this dirty trade.   The article goes on to cite speculation that the [killing] was the 'wet work' of Italian security services in retaliation for the tens of thousands of migrants sent to Italian shores in the past several months.   I'm not one to automatically reject theories just because they skew heavily on the dark-and-sinister scale, but on the other hand probabilities must be weighed, and they mitigate against this notion.   Surely the Italians are smart enough to know that such a hit is like cutting off the Hydra's head: Two more will spring up to replace the one lost.   More likely, this was the act of a ruthless competitor or ambitious underling.   Libya is a lawless, failed state akin to Somalia, rife with extremists and out of control militias thanks to the intervention of Western powers who aided in the overthrow of strongman Muamar Qaddafi during the glorious Arab Spring -- you know, the one that brought so many flowering democracies to countries throughout the Middle East and North Africa.   (Don't you bet the Europeans wish they could put that herd of cats back in the bag.)   But one thing is a near certainty: The murders will not change by an iota the number of migrants being sent to sea in overcrowded dinghies and leaky floating garbage scows from the northern coast of Africa by profit-mongering smugglers, in no small measure because of the stunningly ineffectual collective reaction by European Union member states.   One can also guess with reasonable statistical likelihood that the EU nations will, in the fullness of time, come to rue how they have responded for many reasons.   Not least of which will be having invited jihadists into their midst, because European authorities' asylum vetting processes will prove to be as ineffectual as ours where rooting out present and future terrorists is concerned."

welcome to wealthy Middle Eastern thug privilege
Cybercast News Service
"The latest case of WMET privilege involves a well-connected Saudi prince arrested on Wednesday after allegedly sexually assaulting a woman at his $40M Beverly Hills rental mansion.   Witnesses reported seeing a bloodied woman screaming for help as she scrambled over an 8-foot wall surrounding the property.   LAPD officers charged 28-year-old Majed Abdulaziz al-Saud with sodomy, battery and false imprisonment.   Celebrate diversity!   (No word, by the way, on whether or how this accused brute is related to Saudi princess Buniah al-Saud, who pleaded no contest in 2002 to charges of beating her Indonesian maid in Florida.   She was fined a measly $1K and let loose.)   So, where is al-Saud now? Long gone, no doubt.   His royal benefactors forked over $300K to bail out the privileged jet-setter.   Neighbors say the estate has been evacuated.   Al-Saud has an October 19 court date.   But don't expect him to show any more respect for our laws than another fellow wealthy Middle Eastern thug who has recently gone on the lam.   Sheikh Khalid bin Hamad Al Thani of Qatar, owner of a Ferrari caught racing illegally through another Beverly Hills enclave, is nowhere to be found.   A driver believed to be either Al Thani or one of his drag-racing opponents bragged to a witness that he had diplomatic immunity and could get away with murder, and then spat 'F*** America' before disappearing.   Meanwhile, three other women have stepped forward to file a civil complaint against al-Saud alleging 'extreme', 'outrageous' and 'despicable' behavior by the prince at the sprawling compound.   The workers say they were 'deprived of their freedom of movement by use of physical barriers, force, threats of force, menace, fraud, deceit and unreasonable duress'.   Feckless Foggy Bottom bureaucrats at [the Obummer/Kerry] State Department, as usual, have no comment on either case..."

RFK, Theodore White, and the great debate over immigration
"...Over the past several months, as I researched the transformative 1965 Hart-Celler Immigration Act to write the paper we will release Thursday at the National Press Club, I thought often of Kennedy's famous quote.   The Hart-Celler Act was an expression of a [partisan] commitment to [partisan] 'ideals' that had been contradicted by the...discriminatory immigration policy congress adopted 41 years earlier.   Under that earlier legislation immigrants were admitted not according to merit, but under a system that issued visas on the basis of national origin.   As Kennedy wrote in a 1964 letter to the New York Times: 'This national origins system was conceived in a spirit of mistrust of certain racial groups, in southern and eastern Europe and elsewhere...   It violates our basic national philosophy because it judges individuals not on their [individual] worth, but solely on their place of birth.'   The Hart-Celler Act is a historic example of American leaders who saw injustice in our national civic life and took action eliminate it.   But its legacy illustrates the unintended consequences that 'reforms' can produce when they are shaped by other, less noble agendas and driven by a sense of urgency that renders advocates unable or unwilling to look beyond anticipated benefits and to probe potential costs.   Convinced of [what they believed were] good intentions and driven by idealism and political interest, the congress that passed the Hart-Celler Act and the president who signed it failed to anticipate how it would create a system of mass immigration that continues to transform the country a half century later.   In his 1964 letter to the Times, Kennedy insisted that the legislation 'would increase the amount of authorized immigration by only a fraction'.   Meanwhile, his brother, senator Edward Kennedy, who skillfully managed the bill to passage, told his colleagues, 'It will not upset the ethnic mix of our society.'   Both those predictions had proved to be erroneous by 1982, when journalist Theodore White called Hart-Celler 'noble, revolutionary -- and probably the most thoughtless of the many acts of the Great Society'.   Robert Kennedy gave poetic expression to [leftist] idealism to right [what they considered to be] historic wrongs..."

"migrants", "refugees", "asylees", "invaders", and/or "terrorists"?
"The 'migrant crisis' in Europe has been making headlines lately as reports abound on the hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children crossing its borders.   These large flows of migrants (coming mostly from the Middle East and North Africa) are putting the European Union to the test as Europe faces its largest mass migration since the end of World War 2.   Public outrage escalated (especially following the picture of the drowned three-year-old boy on the Turkish shore), with calls to welcome everyone as EU leaders argue over logistics and numbers.   This migrant crisis has given rise to another type of controversy, one over semantics.   A debate over the appropriate use of words when referring to the recent influx of migrants into Europe was started by the al-Jazeera media network.   The network recently announced that it will no longer use the word 'migrant' when covering people crossing the Mediterranean...   According to the article, the news director at al-Jazeera English has decided that, since the term migrant has come to equate 'nuisance', the network will 'instead, where appropriate, say refugee'.   UNHCR joined the debate soon after, stressing the difference between a refugee and a migrant: 'Refugees are persons fleeing armed conflict or persecution.   They are defined and protected in international law.'...   UNHCR explains why this labelling distinction is crucial.   Individual countries treat migrants according to their own immigration laws and policies, whereas 'they have to deal with refugees through norms of refugee protection and asylum that are defined in both national legislation and international law'.   According to the agency, the use of the term migrant by certain governments can be politically motivated since undocumented migrants can be deported and denied protection, unlike refugees.   Going back to the correct labelling of people crossing the Mediterranean, UNHCR suggests the use of both 'refugees and migrants', as some are refugees and some migrants.   In a post titled 'Refugees are also Migrants and All Migrants Matter', Norwegian professor Jorgen Carling finds this 'two kinds of people' rhetoric troubling.   Carling stresses first the humanitarian aspect of our response to emergencies, asking: 'When people drown at sea or suffocate in lorries, our first question should not be so, which kind were they, refugees or migrants?'.   He adds that the 'two kinds of people' accounts are ironically what define many of the wars these people had to run away from.   Carling reminds us also that an international migrant is, if one is to follow the [corrupt] United Nation's recommendations, 'any person who changes his or her country of usual residence'.   Multiple factors can be behind this move, people migrate in search of a job, a better life, or to join a family member (these are not exclusive categories).   They can also leave their country because of fear of persecution or to flee a conflict zone.   A migrant, under these life-threatening circumstances, can apply for asylum and if granted, receive a refugee status.   Migration push factors are complex and often overlapping.   A person may have fled a country of war, but the decision to continue one's journey may be linked to other factors, such as job opportunities or benefits, welcoming family members or networks, a change in the host country's immigration policy, etc.   In the words of Carling, 'motivations can be blurred and over-lapping, defying neat categorization'.   Even the common and seemingly clear-cut distinction between migrants and refugees, which stipulates that the former choose to move while the latter have to move, is not as obvious.   Again, what part is pressure and part personal choice? In the midst of wars, and under the same circumstances, some stay while others leave.   Some flee immediate life-threatening circumstances while others, like Syrians in Jordan or Lebanon, might feel propelled to continue on to Europe if only because of constraining camp-life conditions that were supposed to be temporary but now appear everlasting.   Carling is right to remind us that the determination of a refugee status 'can be a messy and unpredictable process' and that each application needs to be reviewed with the utmost attention and care.   What we really need, he adds, 'is a migration policy that takes the starting point that migrants may or may not have well-founded fears of persecution'.   After all and to summarize matters for the sake of semantics, a migrant can become a refugee (or not), but all refugees are migrants.   Barry Malone, Al Jazeera's on-line editor (author of the article quoted above) told the Washington Post that the network would happily revert to using the word migrant should the perceived negative connotation be dismissed.   He added: 'In an ideal world, perhaps neither refugee nor migrant would be used or twisted...perhaps we would all just be people.'   We do agree, all migrants are human beings.   And yes, we should be driven by our humanitarian sensibility and compassion.   But what we cannot do is welcome all those who want or need to come here.   Immigration policy is not to be reduced to an immense humanitarian program.   In Carling's words: 'Unlike motivations, immigration legislation is clear-cut' [but, inreality, not so much, so as to leave huge barn-doors of width for discretion by bureaubums, and political cover for legislators].   And, even in a not-so-ideal world, immigration legislation needs to be implemented, every step of the way."

the UN has become an unethical wasteland
"...Were it my call, the US ambassador to the United Nations would never cast a vote in the General Assembly.   The suggestion isn't original.   It was proposed in the 1960s by the political theorist James Burnham, who died in 1987.   To vote on General Assembly resolutions, he argued, is to lend them an authority which serious countries like the United States know they aren't entitled.   If that was true in Burnham's day, it is even truer now, when the General Assembly is dominated by corrupt, authoritarian, or tyrannical governments that are hostile to democratic liberties and contemptuous of human dignity.   We should not indulge the pretense that there is moral significance to any proposition merely because a majority of the UN's membership endorses it...   Look at UN today and what do you see? The world's cruelest dictatorships seated on the Human Rights Council.   A monomaniacal hostility toward Israel.   Global financial and sexual scandals.   Thundering applause for speeches by tyrants and terorrists.   The General Assembly has become a moral wasteland and a monument to hypocrisy..."

"...Boehner's biggest problem was Boehner.   And it is a recurring Republican problem.   Nothing epitomized Boehner's wrong-headedness like an occasion when he emerged from the White House, after a conference with [president Obummer] and others, to face a vast battery of microphones and television cameras.   Here was a golden opportunity for speaker Boehner to make his case directly to the American people, unfiltered by the media.   Instead, he just walked over to the microphones and cameras, briefly expressed his disgust with the conference he had just come from, and then walked on away.   Surely Boehner knew, going into this White House conference, that it could fail.   And, surely, he knew that there would be an opportunity immediately afterwards to present his case to the public.   But, like so many Republican leaders over the years, he seemed to have no sense of the importance of doing so -- or for the time and efforts needed to prepare for such an opportunity before-hand.   Whoever the next speaker of the House is, someone should have a plaque made up to put on his desk -- a plaque reading: TALK, DAMMIT!..."

a speaker from the right
"...In 2010, Republicans took nearly 70 seats from the Democrats and elected Boehner as speaker, only to be betrayed by him over and over -- sometimes Boehner even tried to discipline those who were responsible for his election.   In 2014, they gave McConnell his majority only to be ignored again.   These Republicans do not forget that Bush 41 gave them justice David Souter and that Bush 43 put justice John Roberts on the court -- a move that allowed him to cast the deciding vote in favor of [ObummerDoesn'tCare].   If the Republican leadership asks their rank and file to accept another go along, get along speaker, they will reap the fruits in bitter primary challenges from the right, challenges that all the money in the world will not be enough to defeat."
The trouble with Boehner is that he gave in to the left before the negotiations truly began.   He didn't fight for better rules nor adherence to the US constitution, but repeatedly supported bad rules that favor the left.   He went along with violations of processes specified in the US constitution.   And then he continued to surrender until the left got exactly what they wanted.   The notion of "half a loaf" was never a possibility with Boehner, so libertarians and liberal republicans [intentionally mis-labeled as "conservative" or "red" by the Reds/Dems/leftists] repeatedly got none, while the left repeatedly got all they asked for, and then repeatedly demanded more.

Jason Chaffetz (R-UT): Planned Parenthood is the new ACORN
"Chaffetz said, 'I want the American to know that the revenue to Planned Parenthood was $127M more than their expenses.   And as we go into these budget battles about should we give more [tax-victim] dollars to Planned Parenthood, they don't need the money.   They are flush with cash.   They have so much cash that they're sending that money over-seas.   They're spending it on political activities.   They're spending it on first class airfare.   They're spending that money on private planes and chartered planes.   They obviously don't need the federal [tax-victim] dollars...   I think that the American public needs to know that these funds are often going to this non-profit, are going to the very political campaigns to get out the vote.   They're using shared services.   They're using shared personnel.   They're using these same offices.   There's -- there are PACs involved.   All of this money is going to the Dems/Reds/leftists.   Why should federal [tax-victims] pay for that?...   There are more than 13K community health [centers] would love this money...'"

lower-cost (but not quite low enough for the retail market), higher-quality (but not quite high enough for most purposes) 3D printers driving massive growth... just not in the USA
ComputerWorld
"Red China's sales of 3D printers up 172.9%... 3D printer shipments are forecast to more than double every year between 2016 and 2019, by which time worldwide shipments are expected to reach more than 5.6M, according to new research from Gartner. Last year, 106,761 3D printers were sold worldwide. This year, 3D printer shipments are expected to reach 244,533 units; next year, shipments are projected to reach 490K. The primary market drivers for 'consumer' 3D printers, with prices under $2,500, are acquisitions of low-cost devices by schools and universities... Consumer machines with prices at under $1,000-to-$2,500 range have particularly high rates of sales... sub-$1,000 3D printers make up 25.5% of the sales, but are expected to grow to 40.7% of that market by 2019. North America and Western Europe continue to dominate 3D printer sales with 66.2% of the total shipments in 2014, however, both regions will experience lower shipment growth rates compared to other regions. Historically, 3D printers were sold in the regions where they were made: North America, Western Europe, Japan and, more recently, [Red China]."

the only thing we learned from the Planned Parenthood hearing is that these Republicans are not serious; incompetent, uprepared, un-co-ordinated, inexcusably lazy
"An effectie showing -- something resembling a smart prosecution -- might have allayed a bit of the percolating discontent.   Yet there they were, facing a CEO whose organization performs vivisections on humans and harvests baby brains, and the best they could do most of the time was throw her soft-balls or ensure her martyrdom [in the eyes of the extreme left]...   aimless grand-standing...   finances...   'market penetration' and 'unit prices'...   Republicans brought up Richards's compensation, which was fine, as she and the fetus disposal business she manages benefit generously from [tax-victim] hand-outs.   But bring it up once..."

Obummer, Richards and their lies about the Muslim terrorist attack on the USA consulate at Benghazi and mammograms
"The second 2012 presidential debate, the one in which Mitt Romney faced off against [Barack Hussein Obummer] and CNN's Candy Crowley, is best remembered for [Obummer's and Susan Rice's] Benghazi lie.   The lie was so consequential people quickly forgot about [Obummer's] Planned Parenthood deceit, but first a refresher on Benghazi.   'You said in the Rose Garden the day after the attack it was an act of terror?   It was not a spontaneous demonstration, is that what you are saying?', Romney pressed [Obummer].   [Obummer] had long counted on the media to manage his corner, but this time Crowley climbed into the ring to help tag team the unsuspecting Mormon.   After a moment's hesitation, [Obummer] shouted out, 'Get the transcript.', and the camera panned to Crowley waving a piece of paper.   'He did in fact, sir, call...', said Crowley hesitantly to Romney, 'so let me call it an act of terror.'   [Obummer] jumped back in, 'Can you say that a little louder, Candy.'   She obliged, 'He did call it an act of terror.'   With that spectacular bit of media malpractice, Crowley and CNN preserved the political future of [Barack Hussein Obummer].   On the question of women's health, [Obummer] proved as deceitful as he had on Benghazi.   'When governor Romney says that we should eliminate funding for Planned Parenthood', Obummer pontificated, 'there are millions of women all across the country, who rely on Planned Parenthood for, not just contraceptive care, they rely on it for mammograms.'   [Obummer] was, if not in good company, at least in plentiful company.   This was a fraud Planned Parenthood had been feasting on for years...   Well, not entirely clean.   'We do not have mammogram machines at our health centers and we've never stated that we did.', Richards fudged...   As a 'primary source' of health care the neighborhood CVS MiniClinic serves women better than Planned Parenthood..."

GOP candidates must confront ever-increasing federal government debt
"Give or take a few million here and there, with anywhere between 10M and 20M illegal aliens living in [the USA], the self-inflicted engineered scourge of illegal immigration overwhelming American today is indeed a serious issue that needs to be identified, debated and solved by the presidential candidates of both political stripes.   Remembering the words of Ronald Maximus Reagan that 'a nation that cannot control its borders is not a nation', the radars of ordinary Americans are finely tuned to the various solutions proposed by the candidates.   Where a candidate stands on the Second Amendment is also a critical political bellwether among the patriots who are proud members of the NRA [National Rifle Association], Gun Owners of America [GOA], Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership [JPFO] and numerous other national, state and local gun-rights organizations.   Tens of millions of other gun owners and those addicted to self-evident truth, logic and common sense also give a damn about this life-and-death issue, as we know full well that more gun laws won't stop the Democrat-engineered blood-bath in Baltimore, Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis and everywhere else they create unarmed and helpless victims.   The [ObummerDoesn'tCare] is a cancerous law that has already sent health-care costs sky-rocketing and will ultimately limit access to medical staff and procedures.   The tenet of ObamaScam is: First, do harm; second, lie...   America is already experiencing stagnating growth.   Real wages have fallen, and the middle class has shrunk under [president Obummer].   Things are even worse for black Americans.   Let's be honest: [To the left] Black economic lives don't matter..."

disgraced Obummer adviser Jonathan Gruber coached journalists how to promote ObummerDoesn'tCare!
"So it's only natural that Gruber was telling reporters how to report on the law at the 2013 Association of Health Care Journalists (AHCJ) conference in Boston.   The AHCJ board of directors includes journalists from NPR [National Socialist Radio], The Philadelphia Inquirer, The Boston Globe, MedPage Today, and Kaiser Health News.   Current Vox medical reporter Julia Belluz attended the conference, according to a tweet she sent, though she did not mention Gruber.   Journalists now writing for Reuters and The Philadelphia Inquirer attended Gruber's session, among others...   'Focus on how the law affects everyone.   Be cautious when reporting individual anecdotes because they may not represent the typical experience [and opponents can probably bring up just as many harmed by the scheme as we come up with claiming it helps them].   Look for academic experts and who funds them.   Beware of experts that represent interest groups or have strong ideological positions [different from the regime's].   Chaos in the earliest stages of implementation is probably inevitable, so use caution in framing stories.   (Keep calm and carry on., he said.)   Back in 2006, the [Shrub's evil, unconstitutional] Medicare prescription drug benefit, called Part D, had a rocky launch, but is generally considered popular [by the millions deluded into thinking they're getting something for nothing or something they've already paid-in-full for].'... The Commonwealth Fund, which did research that 'helped lay the ground-work' for [ObummerDoesn'tCare], also put together a symposium in 2013 teaching business reporters from outlets including Reuters and Money magazine how to report on [ObummerDoesn'tCare]."
