"The conquering Vandals have left their name as a generic term of disgrace, but many other conquerors have also delighted in destruction, quite aside from those who deliberately sought to stamp out the cultures of the conquered people, when they had nothing better with which to replace it.   If one looks far enough back through history, virtually all people have been conquered people.   But a study of race & culture is concerned with those conquests which have made a cultural difference in the lives & history of the conquered & the conquerors." --- Thomas Sowell 1994 _Race & Culture_ pg 63

the 3 biggest mistakes the USA ever made
"In her 239-year history, America has made 3 colossal mistakes.   These do not, however, overwhelm the fact that the idea of America is wholly unique to mankind.   America was the first moral government based on individual rights and freedom.   No other government in the history of mankind was based on such a concept.   Man's value and his inalienable rights were paramount to the Founding Fathers.   Extraordinary.   Everything noble and magnificent that this great nation achieved was in accord with the principle of individual rights.   The idea of American exceptionalism -- a concept that [president Barack Hussein Obummer] not only scorns but has absolutely no understanding of -- is synonymous with the concept of individualism.   What is American exceptionalism except individual exceptionalism?   Individualism regards every man as an independent being who possesses an unalienable right to live his own life, dream his own dream and be the master of his own destiny; no group, no mob, no special interest has rights other then the individual rights of all of its citizens.   The social system of a nation based on individualism is capitalism.   The best description that comes to mind is from _Atlas Shrugged_: 'I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.'   Indeed, this is what made America great.   But there have been these three principal mistakes: 1) Slavery.   At the time of the American founding, slavery was common practice.   Blacks were sold into slavery by other black tribes.   Africans and Muslims sold slaves to European and American slave traders [and took 'white' Europeans as slaves].   But slavery was an assault on the very idea of America.   A country based on individual rights could hardly reconcile that with the idea of slavery.   Capitalism is the only system incompatible with slavery.   Our Founding Fathers knew this [but failed to exercise the required integrity and courage to eliminate it when it began in 1650]...   2) Jimmy Carter...   3) Barack Hussein Obummer..."

"This past week, I actually had a student come forward after a university chapel service and complain because he felt 'victimized' by a sermon on the topic of 1 Corinthians 13.   It appears that this young 'scholar' felt offended because a homily on love made him feel bad for not showing love!   In his mind, the speaker was wrong for making him, and his peers, feel uncomfortable.   I'm not making this up.   Our culture has actually taught our kids to be this self-absorbed and narcissistic!   Any time their feelings are hurt, they are the victims!   Anyone who dares challenge them and, thus, makes them 'feel bad' about themselves, is a 'hater', a 'bigot', an 'oppressor', and a 'victimizer'.   I have a message for this young man and all others who care to listen.   That feeling of discomfort you have after listening to a sermon is called a conscience!   An altar call is supposed to make you feel bad! It is supposed to make you feel guilty!   The goal of many a good sermon is to get you to confess your sins—not coddle you in your selfishness.   The primary objective of the Church and the Christian faith is your confession, not your self-actualization!..."

Republicans must save cities from corrupt leftists
"A Chicago police officer has been charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of Laquan McDonald, a black teenager who was wielding a knife and who had PCP in his system.   Chicago authorities apparently went to some trouble to sweep the case under the rug: A $5M settlement to his family already had been approved; the officer wasn't charged until nearly a year after the fact; a police-camera video of the shooting was suppressed for more than a year, until an FOIA law-suit forced its release.   Chicago is a city under impeccably progressive governance.   Its mayor is Rahm Emanuel, former right hand to [president Barack Hussein Obummer].   So in response to the shooting of a young black hooligan by a police officer in one of the nation's most corrupt cities and the dodgy handling of that by the city's Dem/leftist/Red mayor, we have a thousand protesters harassing shoppers and blocking retailers' entrances down on the Magnificent Mile, wherein is found Neiman Marcus and Cartier.   It takes a special kind of nose to detect the connection between Cartier shoppers, police shootings of young black criminals elsewhere in Chicago, and the municipal maladministration of mayor Rahm Emanuel, but such a nose has the reverend Jesse Jackson, who can sniff out a pay-day with the reliability of a French hog hunting truffles.   Our friends in the community-organizing racket -- whether from Chicago's South Side or the campus of Yale -- are a remarkably consistent bunch: Whatever the real or perceived social problem, the answer is the same: Write a very large check that eventually will make its way into the pockets of such people and organizations as those that organize these protests.   Protesters are chanting '16 shots', in reference to the number of police bullets that struck McDonald.   But the criminal question as regards Chicago police officer Jason Van Dyke, who is charged in the shooting, isn't whether he was justified in shooting the young man 16 times, but whether he was justified in shooting him once.   Lethal force is lethal force, and the standard practice in most police departments is to aim for the target's center mass and keep firing.   Chicago police commonly carry the Glock 17 pistol, which has a magazine capacity of 19 rounds.   If the first shot was justified, then 16 shots were justified.   It is much more difficult to think of a justification for the way in which the Emanuel administration has handled the episode..."

reforming "migrants"/ "refugees"/ "asylum seekers"/ invaders/ terrorists/ cross-border criminals re-settlement program to make isolation difficult and integration and assimilation easy
"Despite the exposure refugee re-settlement has received lately, there has been little discussion of how the program actually operates.   Each year the [regime] establishes source regions and numbers for next year's quota.   The UN refugee agency refers most of the refugees that come through the system, though embassy staff and State Department contractors may also make referrals.   An influential network of private contractors implements the program.   Speaking of the contractors running refugee resettlement, David M. Robinson, a former acting director of the refugee bureau in the State Department, wrote in 2000, 'The agencies form a single body [that] wields enormous influence over the [Clinton, Shrub, & Obummer regime's] refugee admissions policy.   It lobbies the hill effectively to increase the number of refugees admitted for permanent resettlement each year and at the same time provides overseas processing for admissions under contract to the State Department.   In fact, the federal government provides about 90% of its collective budget.   If there is a conflict of interest, it is never mentioned.   [Its] solution to every refugee crisis is simplistic and the same: increase the number of admissions to the United States without regard to budgets or competing foreign policy considerations...'...   Today, the money is even better and for many of the private contractors the taxpayer portion of their income tops 95%.   They are free to lobby law-makers with what little money they raise from donations.   $250K executive salaries are the norm at the roughly 350 organizations affiliated with the 9 major contractors.   There are additional hundreds of supporting NGOs -- most started and staffed by refugees and recent immigrants -- soaking up grants from every agency of government except NASA.   The USA government, according to its own audits, finds 'USA re-settlement communities awash with refugee NGOs that exist in name only but provide little meaningful assistance'.   Think ACORN without borders..."

border crossing cards: seeking zone of free movement throughout border states
"Due to the giant financial influx provided by Mexican shoppers across the border, Arizona extends special privileges to Mexican nationals who possess a Border Crossing Card, essentially extending the border 75 miles into the state.   However, a multi-agency push could extend that imaginary border to cover the entire state of Arizona, allowing roughly 1.2M Mexican visitors to travel freely throughout the state without having to file an I-94 form.   This 'border zone' has existed for decades for mostly commercial purposes, and extends 25 miles into USA territory along the length of the USA-Mexico border.   That zone was extended to 75 miles in Arizona in 1999, which includes the outlets in Tubac, AZ along Interstate 19 and the city of Tucson.   According to Nogales International, The Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) is proposing to extend the current border zone to the entire state in an effort to strengthen the statewide economy.   The City of Phoenix is located in Maricopa county, and the metro area is home to roughly 4.5M people—along with many retail stores...   According to the US State Department, the Border Crossing Card (BCC) also serves as a B1/B2 visitor's visa, and is usually valid for ten years after it is issued.   Potential recipients must be Mexican citizens (and possess a valid Mexican passport), meet all eligibility requirements for the B1/B2 visa, and 'must demonstrate that they have ties to Mexico that would compel them to return after a temporary stay in [the United States of America]'..."

"Syrian" refugees since 2015-11-13 Muslim terrorist attacks in Paris: 132 Sunni Muslims, 0 Shiites, 0 Christians; 72 male, 60 female; 29.5% men between the ages of 14 and 50; 40% children under 14
Laura Ingraham
"Since FY2016 began 2 months ago, 423 'Syrian' refugees have been admitted into the U.S.A., of whom 418 (98.8%) were Sunni Muslims.   The remaining five (1.2%) were Christians -- 3 Catholic, 1 Orthodox and 1 simply described as 'Christian'.   111 of them (26%) are men aged between 14 and 50...   Syrian Christians -- like other non-Sunni minorities [including shiites] -- have been singled out for persecution by ISIS and other jihadist groups fighting there.   Yet the Christian cohort among the Syrian refugees accepted into the U.S.A. since the war began (2.3%) is considerably smaller than the proportion of Christians in the Syrian population -- 10%, according to the CIA World Factbook.   At the same time, the proportion of Sunni Muslims among the accepted refugees (93% since the war began) is significantly higher than the proportion of Sunni Muslims in the Syrian population -- 74%..."

fertility among immigrants varies significantly "Fertility among immigrants varies significantly.   Some groups of immigrants or those from some regions tend to have birth rates that are much higher than that of natives, while others are more similar.   The table below reports the number of births per thousand for immigrant and native women based on the recently released 2014 American Community Survey.   The survey asks women in their child-bearing years if they gave birth in the prior year.   The table reads as follows: In 2014, there were 59 births for every 1K native-born women ages 15 to 44, compared to 75 births per thousand for immigrant women in the same age group.   The table shows that immigrants have higher fertility than natives, but that this higher fertility makes little difference to the overall birth rate in the United States.   In 2014, the total birth rate for all women (immigrant and native) was 61 births per thousand.   This is very similar to the rate for natives (59 births per thousand).   In short, immigrants in the United States, who comprise almost 17% of women ages 15 to 44, only increase the birth rate by only about 4.4%.   (The top part of the table presents rounded values, so the actual increase in births per thousand as a result of immigration is 2.6.)   This is another reminder that, although immigration makes the U.S.A. population larger, it does not make it significantly younger..."

tightening L-1 rules in weak Grassley/Durgin proposal and Canada's approach (part 3)
"The proposed S2266, as introduced by senators Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Dick Durbin (D-IL), will, in addition to the previously described H-1B reforms, make some major changes in the L-1 foreign workers program, which up to now has had no labor market protections at all.   The L-1 program allows multinational firms to move professional employees into the United States on a temporary basis.   In most years the admissions of such workers have been at about the level of H-1B admissions, which in FY2013 were a little above 500K for the L-1s and a little below that for the H-1Bs.   The best news is that S2266 will (unless the lobbyists kill this provision) introduce wage standards into the L-1 program for the first time.   The key provision reads as follows:   '(K) (i) An employer that employs a nonimmigrant described in section 101(a)(15)(L) for a cumulative period of time in excess of 1 year shall—   (I) offer such nonimmigrant, during the period of authorized employment, wages, based on the best information available at the time the application is filed, which are not less than the highest of—   (aa) the locally determined prevailing wage level for the occupational classification in the area of employment;   (bb) the median wage for all workers in the occupational classification in the area of employment; and   (cc) the median wage for skill level 2 in the occupational classification found in the most recent Occupational Employment Statistics survey'.   Too often in the past employers have brought alien workers into this country and continued to pay them at home country rates (i.e., with very low wages) rather than either hiring a resident worker, or even an H1-B, at a more appropriate rate of pay.   This provision, if it lasts and if it is enforced, should cause some employers to hire resident workers rather than foreign ones.   The new bill also offers:   Stiffer penalties for abusing employers (but not as stiff as the Canadian ones noted below);   Much tighter rules for the opening of a new branch office in the United States, which had served as a loop-hole for aliens who simply moved the former business in the home country to the United States;   A narrower definition of the 'specialized knowledge' that L-1 workers are supposed to have, which has been broadened to a ridiculous extent by immigration lawyers and some judges [which still says nothing about skill LEVEL];   A better enforcement scheme, including protection for whistle-blowers; and   A provision banning the replacement of incumbent U.S.A. workers by L-1s.   The replacement provision, while welcome, is a bit of window dressing.   In both the L-1 and the H-1B programs the basic problem is that the foreign workers, rather than American workers, are persistently hired into new jobs, not the replacement of incumbent workers.   When replacement happens, as with the Disney case in Florida, it draws a lot of understandable attention.   The Canadian Approach   Meanwhile, on the other side of our northern border, both the incoming Liberal regime and the outgoing Conservative one have taken numerous steps to tighten Canada's foreign worker program.   Without going into these new rules in depth, it is fair to say that the regulations are much stricter than anything proposed in the States.   As samples, we have these provisions from regulations laid down earlier this year by the Conservatives:   'As of December 1, employers who fail to comply with the new ... requirements will be subject to the following sanctions:   warnings;   fines ranging from $500 to $100K per violation, up to a maximum of $1 million over one year, per employer;   being banned from accessing the programs for 1, 2, 5, or 10 years or permanently; and   publication of the employer's name on a public list with details of the violation(s) and sanction(s).'   See more here.   In comparison, there is a provision for a fine up to $25K per violation and a two-year debarment in S2266 regarding willful misbehavior of L-1 employers.   As for the Liberals, the newly elected government has decided that there should be monthly censuses of temporary alien workers..."

Obummer sets stage for rape of USA
"A rape epidemic is coming to America.   No, this is not the feminazi version of rape, where a woman can decide much later that a consensual sexual encounter was actually rape.   No, this is the worst form of violent, non-consensual, criminal rape.   And the future American victims of rape can thank [Barack Hussein Obummer] for the crimes against them.   The president wants to bring in a huge number of Islamic 'refugees'.   That is the problem.   Rape has been an Islamic tradition since the beginning of Islam.   The Koran allows this...   Insanity is defined as trying the same thing over and over again, while expecting a different result.   Every nation that has opened its doors to Muslim 'refugees' has seen a huge and stunning increase in rape..."

senator James Lankford (R-OK) challenges Donald Trump historic hotel project in Washington, DC as government waste: $40M in National Historic Tax Credits
"The report notes that the Internal Revenue Service reduced the cost by $40M through the National Historic Tax Credit. Companies that renovate old and historic buildings are eligible for federal funding or tax credits for the cost of repairs. Lankford argues the credit program should be eliminated. Lankford's report cites the Trump Organization, which purchased the Old Post Office in Washington, DC in 2013, 'in what the organization claims to be the most sought-after hotel redevelopment opportunity in the country'. The Trump Organization is investing roughly $200M in renovations, but Lankford argues, 'When all is said and done, American taxpayers will chip in $40M to help cover the costs to restore this magnificent building to even well beyond its original grandeur'..."

senator/ princess/ slave/ leader of the rebellion against the evil empire; Leia is the heroine feminists need, but do not deserve
"...because of what happens next.   Leia takes the chain binding her to her captor, and she snuffs out the Tony Montana of Tattooine with it.   Leia doesn't let her clothes get in her way.   She plots, she waits for the perfect moment, and then she chokes one of the biggest crime lords in the galaxy to death with the very chain he enslaved her with.   His death was not swift -- this was not a lightsaber chop.   He wasn't shot.   Jabba the Hutt struggled and flailed.   You looked in his eyes while he was dying, and Leia held on until the end.   This was an extremely intimate, personal, and dark death, arguably one of the darkest in the entirety of the Star Wars franchise.   Then she helped Luke blow up [Jabba's] ship, and looked damn good doing it..."
