"One study of horse-back riding injures in England found that riding horses was 20 times more dangerous than riding motor-cycles.   Another study broke the risk down by type of riding: 1 injury for every 10 hours of leisure riding, 1 injury for every 5 hours of amateur racing over jumps, 1 injury for each hour of cross-country eventing (Evenging is a 2- to 3-day competition that includes dressage, cross-country riding, and show jumping.   Christopher Reeve's fall happened during the cross-country portion of an eventing competition, which is the most dangerous.)" --- Temple Grandin & Catherine Johnson 2000 _Animals Make Us Human_ pg120

Africans hoping to invade the USA have invaded Costa Rica
"Cuban migrants are not the only ones trying to cross through Central America on their way to the USA.   On Friday morning over 200 African illegal aliens were returned to Panama, but then they forced their way back into Costa Rican territory.   The African migrants were first intercepted on Thursday at Costa Rica's northern border with Nicaragua, where they closed down a road in protest because they were not allowed to enter Nicaragua to continue their journey to the USA.   On Friday morning they were bussed to the southern border to be returned to Panama, from where they had presumably crossed into Costa Rica days earlier.   However, Panama also did not let them pass.   This left the African aliens in the border zone between the 2 countries, from where they forced their way back into Costa Rica..."

2 USA citizen women in "IT" at NY Life tell how they are losing their jobs to cross-border bodyshops, and being coerced to train their replacements
ComputerWorld
"One...has been told by management not to ask the [foreign] contract workers any questions.   Even simple queries, like, 'Did you have a chance to read this document?', or, 'Are you familiar with this technology?', to the contract workers [i.e. bodies shopped], from India-based Tata Consultancy Services, are not allowed.   [paraphrasing: We were ordered to assume that they thoroughly know both the specific tools, and the application area.   Any questions to ensure we were communicating clearly and were in synch would be taken as insults or challenges to the training scheme.]   There's also a regular survey process...   As the replacement training moves along, the [USA] workers have to rate the off-shore contractors [and at the same time the off-shore contractors are rating the USA STEM workers for their training] on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest [but, apparently, without any basis on which to do the rating].   If the contractor receives the highest score, the thinking among the [USA STEM professionals] is it may accelerate their replacement [and suggest that the USA STEM professionals are not very bright while the foreign workers are all and always brilliant].   If the [foreign] contractor gets a low score, the [USA] employee may be blamed for providing poor training [for being a vicious xenophobe], which may also accelerate job loss...   The [USA STEM professionals] also must be 'pleasant' on the calls with [off-shore] contractors, not just matter-of-fact [equable], but 'pleasant'.   The process is anything but that...   Meanwhile, the off-shore contractor on the calls is beginning to use possessive pronouns, saying 'our' or 'my' to show he is taking ownership of her job...   'I've been telling high school students and college students that you should not major in computer science anymore.   [STEM work has] turned into a factory job [producing nothing of value and offering no future]...'...   What NY Life is doing is [going on] at many other companies [and has been for 26 years].   The employer offers a [small] severance package to [dumped USA STEM professionals] contingent on a 'successful' 'knowledge transfer'...   A NY Life spokesman said the company began last year [dumping] about 1,400 [USA STEM professionals].   By the end of the [euphemistically named] transition process in 2018, it expects that number to decline to about 1K, including departures and new hires...   'we will be adding hundreds more NY Life emplyees with cutting-edge skills in [privacy violation tools & procedures]...'...   The company [executives know] that [USA STEM professionals will suffer pain and grief] along the way Werfelman said [but that's no skin off our noses; it's not our pain, and besides, the cheaper labor will fatten our personal finances]...   The contractors are also bringing in 'proprietary technology skills' they don't have, he said...   'We are importing bad work cultures along with this cheaper labor.   USA women will walk off the job rather than be treated like dirt.', [engineering professor Karen Panetta] said..."

age discrimination and the wisdom of gray-beard STEM professionals
"The HR departments and hiring managers in Sili Valley [consider it a challenge].   They can't [legally] ask an applicant's age because their companies have lost brutal discrimination law-suits over the years.   Instead, they develop little tricks like tossing in an oblique reference to 'The Brady Bunch'... and seeing if the candidate gets the joke [or reference to old technology still covered in 'history of computers' portions of current text-books].   Candidates who chuckle are deemed a 'poor cultural fit' and are tossed aside.   Alas, the computer industry has a...fascination with new technologies, new paradigms, and of course, new [cheap, young, pliant] programmers.   It's more fascination than reality because old tech [even hideously obsolete tech] never truly dies.   Old inventions like the mainframe may stop getting headlines, but they run and run [even via emulators].   As I write this, Dice shows more than 5 times as many jobs postings for the key-word 'Cobol' [which was obsolete in the 1960s] (522) than 'OCaml', 'Erlang', and 'Haskell' combined (11, 52, and 27, respectively).   The stories of age discrimination are common, as are the rationalizations...   there's evidence [the rationalizations are not true] -- programming geezers have valuable wisdom you can't absorb by watching [a video] or fast-forwarding through a MOOC.   They understand better computers work because they had to back when computers had front panels with [indicator lights and] switches [or massive amounts of wiring rather than monolithic chips].   They [participated in or worked with the development of] the layers of IDEs, optimizing compilers, [machine-code, micro-code, assembly languages, static and dynamic linkers and loaders, version/configuration management] and continuous integration to save their bacon..."

and lo, the ground opened before him
"The Border Patrol continues to discover tunnels under the USA-Mexico border in, shall we say, a low-tech manner.   The most recent Border Patrol press release on the discovery of a tunnel said, in effect, that one of its agents encountered the tunnel when the ground opened up before him, or to quote the release:   'As the agent approached the anomaly [a depression] in the soil on foot, it began to give way exposing a hole 18 inches in diameter.'   This happened along the border 2 miles east of the Calexico port of entry, in southern California.   The three-by-three tunnel was about 142 feet long, with 82 feet of it under USA soil.   The Border Patrol recently learned of another tunnel in Nogales, AZ, when Mexican authorities told them about it.   Apparently the Border Patrol's high-tech tool kit does not include [enough] reliable devices to record underground digging at the border."

Texas law that forbids harboring illegal aliens temporarily blocked by federal district judge
"A federal judge in San Antonio has issued a temporary injunction against a Texas statute signed into law nearly a year ago that forbids harboring illegal aliens.     According to Breitbart, the injunction is the result of a lawsuit filed by the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund on behalf of a migrant center.   The center claims not to inquire into the immigration status of its clientele, but says forthrightly in its complaint: 'In his role as Executive Director of RAICES, Plaintiff Ryan provides shelter to immigrant women and children who are not authorized to be present in the USA and lack lawful immigration status.'   So clearly the assertion that the individuals aren't being asked anything about their status is a legal fiction designed to provide a fig leaf of protection against enforcement activities at either the state or federal level.     The decision to issue the injunction seems curious to me.   It is well settled that state and local governments may not go their own path and intrude on uniquely federal prerogatives in the arena of immigration (except, apparently, where 'sanctuary' rules are concerned, which [the corrupt Obummer regime] has been so obligingly inclined to ignore).   But where harboring is concerned, congress doesn't seem to have been inclined to singularly occupy the field.     The federal anti-smuggling/anti-harboring statute, 8 U.S.C. Section 1324, says this at sub-section (c):   'Authority to arrest.   No officer or person shall have authority to make any arrests for a violation of any provision of this section except officers and employees of the Service designated by the attorney-general, either individually or as a member of a class, and all other officers whose duty it is to enforce criminal laws.'     This provision has been repeatedly held to permit sworn state and local law enforcement officers to enforce the statute.   It has been particularly useful, for instance, as a force multiplier for federal immigration and border agents when state highway patrol vehicles pull over vans, cars, and buses for vehicular infractions, only to discover that they are in fact smuggling aliens.   The same has held true when neighbors call local police to report strange comings and goings in a subdivision home, only to discover that it is a safe house for an alien smuggling ring.     Under these circumstances, one can only wonder why the federal judge thinks that the state of Texas is forbidden from enacting a law that appears to be consonant with what federal law already permits its officers to do.     But if the injunction ends up being permanent, my strong suggestion to Texas is to enact a policy directing its state and local law enforcement officers to continue doing what they must and should be doing to interdict alien smuggling and harboring, and simply present the charges to the USA attorneys for federal prosecution under 8 U.S.C. § 1324."

will the supremes elect Donald Trump president today?
"While the establishment media has largely ignored this story, and its profound implications for constitutional liberty, today the supreme court will hear United States v. Texas.   This case is the challenge to [Obummer's] amnesty for illegal aliens...   The lawsuit was brought by governors and attorneys general from Texas and 25 other states.   Under these unconstitutional programs, [Obummer] claims the [power] to, by executive fiat, make an illegal alien 'lawfully present' in the USA and eligible to receive a 'work permit' [EAD] after an application is reviewed (typically merely rubber stamped) and a fee is paid...   Nearly all the media attention has been focused on the discretion issue to the exclusion of all the others.   But is it really just discretion to not prosecute when, under [Obummer's uniateral, unconstitutional decrees], the government is handing out work permits and making illegal aliens eligible to work in the USA as well as to receive [Socialist Insecurity], unemployment [insurance benefits], and disability benefits?   [Obummer] explicitly claims that he has unlimited authority to allow any alien to work -- unless congress explicitly prohibits it.   Except that even when congress [existing llaw, passed by both Houses, signed by a president, upheld by curts] explicitly prohibits such work (as with illegal aliens) the president still claims authority to grant it.   [Obummer] also claims authority to make any alien 'lawfully present' in the USA.   IOW, [Obummer] claims to have the power to allow any alien to be in and to work in the USA.   The real issue in this case is not 'discretion', but whether or not there is any limit at all on presidential power...   From unilaterally granting amnesty to a select group of illegal aliens, to trampling on the religious freedom and freedom of conscience of American Catholics and other Christians, to using [without probable cause and without warrants] unmanned drones to gather information for federal regulatory and law enforcement agencies, to ignoring congressional sub-poenas, to trying to use the FCC to regulate the internet even after a federal court held it had no authority to do so this endemic government law-breaking has gotten progressively worse under [Obummer].   In the Federalist #44 James Madison wrote that: 'the success of the usurpation [of power by the congress] will depend on the executive and judiciary departments, which are to expound and give effect to the legislative acts; and in the last resort a remedy must be obtained from the people who can, by the election of more faithful representatives, annul the acts of the usurpers.'..."

tourism in Palestinian-occupied Eastern Israel
"The bullet-proof tour bus, filled with retirees, groaned up the narrow dirt road to meet some of Israel's most 'notorious' Jewish settlers, renegade young fire-brands known as the 'hill-top youth'.   'The stereotype is of monsters, high school drop-outs, Arab killers, thieves of Arab land and uprooters of Arab olive trees.', the host, Rabbi Meir Goldmintz, told his visitors.   'The truth is they are the greatest kids, they love this land and want to make their lives here.'   As vacation season approaches, Israeli settlers are opening a bold new front in their battle for legitimacy: tourism.   The zealous hospitality comes as Europe demands special labels identifying products from settlements they consider illegal footholds of the [Palestinian occupation of Eastern Israel].   The [leftists in the USA disparage] the growth of the settlements and blames them in part for the failure of the '2-state solution', which envisions Israel living side by side with a Palestinian state.   The settlers are fighting back -- by rolling out the welcome mat.   They are offering a sampling of 'the good life', with fine cabernets and artisanal cheese on the hill-tops of the rugged, rural Bible land populated by the gun-toting children of Abraham (armed, they say, to protect themselves from Palestinian attackers).   They are welcoming biblical tourists -- evangelical Christians and Jews who want to vacation at ancient sites that appear in the Hebrew Bible and Torah -- and 'geo-political tourists', travelers who want to see the reality behind the headlines.   There are about 400K settlers living in [Eastern Israel], in what Israelis call Judea and Samaria, the biblical names. About 15% hail from the USA..."

Israel & Palestinians clash in UN over terrorism and incitement, especially in Palestinian-occupied Eastern Israel
"During the council's regular meeting on 'the situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question', Israel's permanent representative Danny Danon used his address to challenge his Palestinian counterpart directly to issue a simple condemnation of terrorism.   Danon did so after relating the story of Dafna Meir, a nurse and mother of 6 who was stabbed to death in her home in the disputed West Bank south of Jerusalem last January -- one of 29 Israelis and 4 foreign nationals killed in a spate of terror attacks that began last Fall.   The Israeli government says incitement by Palestinian leaders and media outlets is fueling the violence.   Behind the Israeli diplomat in the council chamber sat Meir's widower and eldest daughter.   Danon noted that her killer, a 16-year-old Palestinian, had said afterwards 'that what made him want to kill a Jew -- any Jew -- was a TV show on Palestinian television'-A 'culture of hate and constant brainwashing' among Palestinians is responsible for the loss of too many Israeli lives, Danon said..."

"...pursuing overly-ambitious goals can be harmful.   When researchers study organizations that set stretch goals for employees -- goals intended to motivate high performance -- they find that these lofty goals often have significant negative side effects.   In particular, they find that when people are focused on a goal, and failure to achieve that goal has high costs, unethical behavior increases...   As Nobel Laureate Daniel Kahneman puts it: 'Success = Talent + Luck.   Great success = A little more talent + A Lot of Luck'.   While Kahneman acknowledges that skill is a key part of success, his work emphasizes that chance plays a predominant role...   Of course, there are many who don't work hard to develop their skills and pursue opportunities -- and who therefore are unlikely to achieve success if chance comes knocking - but the reverse is not true...   people with average resumes are not necessarily less outstanding or deserving...   Conversely, those who do achieve prominent success may over-estimate their role in it...   That said, it's a statistical fact that not every child can grow up to be a supreme court justice, a sports star, or a best-selling author.   Our futures are shaped by many forces beyond our control, including chance, genetics, and other accidents of birth.   Then too, statistically speaking, most of us will be average (that's the definition of average after all).   But so what?..."

more Obummer lawlessness on ObummerDoesn'tCare
"The sub-committee on Oversight and Investigations, chaired by representative Tim Murphy (R-PA), on Friday continued its oversight of [ObummerDoesn'tCare], with a hearing examining its reinsurance program.   The program was created to provide financial assistance to insurers offering [ObummerDoesn'tCare] plans, ultimately incentivizing insurers to enroll high-risk individuals.   The statute states that a portion of the contributions 'shall be deposited into the general fund of the Treasury of the United States and may not be used for the reinsurance program'.   Full committee chairman Fred Upton (R-MI) commented, 'Today, the $3.5G question is why CMS is now diverting taxpayer dollars to insurance companies without any legal authority to do so.'   'On 2014 March 11, CMS issued a rule that spelled out how to divide the fund between Treasury, insurance companies and administrative costs.   CMS wrote that Treasury would receive about 25% of the fund in 2015.   But while insurers have received billions of dollars from the program, the Treasury has still received nothing.', stated chairman Murphy..."

the corrupt Dems/leftists/Reds on the supreme court
"If anyone really expected the supreme court's 4 Red/leftist/Dem appointees to impartially weigh the constitutional issues in the [Obummer] amnesty for illegal aliens case (United States v. Texas), yesterday's oral arguments disclosed the true depth of their political corruption.   Justices Breyer, Sotomayor, Ginsburg and Kagan clearly had no interest in exploring the constitutional limits on executive power or [Obummer's] clear violation of the Administrative Procedures Act in promulgating rules without the requisite notice and public input.   Their interest was in upholding the result of [Obummer's] Far-Left [power-mad] agenda, no matter what the constitutional implications.     While conservative justice Samuel Alito said flatly, 'I don't see how there is not injury in fact here.', the [leftist judges] were intentionally blind to the cost to states of [Obummer's] actions.     'I'm focusing on the narrow question of how Texas is hurt, specifically, and not a political disagreement.', justice Breyer said, adding, 'How are they specifically hurt by giving these people driver's licenses?'     Aside from the plain common sense conclusion that conducting government business, e.g. issuing a drives license costs money, there are plenty of studies showing the vast cost to states of illegal immigration.     Back in 2011 our friends at the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) did a study that concluded, 'California, facing a budget deficit of $14.4G in 2010-2011, is hit with an estimated $21.8G in annual expenditures on illegal aliens.   New York's $6.8G deficit is smaller than its $9.5G in yearly illegal alien costs.'     But the whole point of the [leftist/Dem/Red] appointees was not to plumb the depths of the economic impact of illegal immigration, but rather to invoke the judge-made doctrine of 'standing' to dismiss the case and essentially to bar the states from suing Obama in the first place.   Likewise, the important constitutional issue of 'faithful execution' was not really explored -- it was a given among the Democratic appointees that [Obummer] could simply refuse to enforce any law he chose not to enforce.     Justice Anthony Kennedy, as abc Radio noted in its reporting who is often seen as the supreme court's swing vote, was the only one to really question the scope of presidential discretion.     'What we're doing is defining the limits of discretion and it seems to me that is a legislative, not an executive act.', he said, continuing, 'It's as if...the president is setting the policy and the congress is executing it.   That's just upside down.'     Justice Kagan and the court's more [leftist] justices argued the phrase 'lawfully present' didn't expand federal laws for immigrants.   Justice Kagan said the federal government still has the right to deport at any time.   She described the effect of the policy as 'you will not be deported unless we change our minds'.     'You will not be deported unless we change our minds' turns the rule of law on its head and is the essence of the kind of arbitrary and capricious rule that kings and tyrants use to enforce their will.     But justice Kagan's point did make it clear that the real issue in this case is not 'discretion', but whether or not there is any limit at all on presidential power.     And it was clear from yesterday's hearings that the [Dem/Red/Leftist] appointees to the supreme court would answer that question as 'NO' the Constitution does not limit the president's executive power, as long as there's a [Red/leftist/Dem] in the White House.     As CHQ chairman Richard A. Viguerie and attorney Mark J. Fitzgibbons pointed out in their e-pamphlet 'The Law the Governs Government', for many years the political establishment has shown contempt for the Constitution and rigged the rules to protect and hide its law-breaking..."

H-1B bait and switch
"The shilling for the H-1B program is always shameless, but an example with real chutzpah.   Our intrepid author writes: 'In December congress included a provision in the omnibus [over-spending] bill that doubled the H-1B processing fee from $2K to $4K for certain immigrant-intensive companies.   All these visa fees hit hardest businesses without the resources to pay these escalating costs -- typically smaller, younger businesses struggling to break in against their larger rivals.'   We are to believe that visa fees are killing poor startup companies.   Hmmm.   I looked up the offending bill, Pubic Law #114-113, and found the offending provision in § 411: '(b) Temporary H-1b Visa Fee Increase -- Notwithstanding section 281 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1351) or any other provision of law, during the period beginning on the date of the enactment of this section and ending on 2025 September 30, the combined filing fee and fraud prevention and detection fee required to be submitted with an application for admission as a nonimmigrant under section 101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b)), including an application for an extension of such status, shall be increased by $ 4K for applicants that employ 50 or more employees in the United States if more than 50% of the applicant's employees are such nonimmigrants or non-immigrants described in section 101(a)(15)(L) of such Act.'     So the fees in question only affect companies that have more than 50 employees and over half of the companies' total employees are on H-1B or L visas.   IOW, we're talking about the companies whose business is importing H-1B workers; not poor start-up companies.   Holy bait and switch, Batman!     This Friday is the last day for 'IT' workers at Abbott Labs who are getting the H-1Boot.   Sara Blackwell is holding an event for the soon-to-be-former Abbott Labs workers on April 22 at 17:30 at Flanagans in North Chicago [?Flanigan's SeaFood Bar & Grill; 3201 Buckley Road/US41 & Illinois 137; between Great Lakes Motel & Red Carpet Inn; East of I-94/Tri-State toll-way; SW of Willow Glen Golf Club; NE of Libertyville; SSW of Waukegan; well NNW of Evanston?].   I and my Sold Out co-author, Michelle Malkin, will be there along with many other individuals the hired H-1B shills would like to see go away.   Come and join us if you are in the area."

Trey Gowdy: the number of illegal aliens who commit additional crimes is more than the entire population of Pittsburgh
"'Today there are over 350K known criminal aliens in the USA who are not detained by USAICE.   350K.' Gowdy, the chairman of the [House] Immigration and Border Security sub-committee, said opening a hearing examining the victims of illegal immigrant crime.   'That number may not get your attention -- statistics rarely do -- so I want you to think about it this way.   The number of criminal aliens living in the United States, not in custody, not separated from society, it larger than the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.   Larger than the city of Lexington, Kentucky, larger than the city of Anaheim, California.', he asked.   'Can you imagine a city the size of Pittsburgh, comprised solely of people who are here unlawfully who have also committed another crime?'   Gowdy noted that, according to USAICE, between 2011 October and 2014 December, USAICE released criminal aliens over 100K times.   'According to USAICE those released have been convicted of more than 10K assaults, more than 800 sexual assaults, more than 400 homicide-related offenses, and more than 300 kidnappings.', he said.   Gowdy slammed the [Obummer regime's] effort to provide unilateral amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants as immigration enforcement falls by the wayside.   The South Carolina law-maker took particular umbrage at an argument solicitor-general Donald Verrilli made before the supreme court Monday, arguing for [Obummer's] executive amnesty programs [Obummer regime v. Texas + 25 other states].   'Just yesterday the lawyer for the president was at it again, this time at the USA supreme court, arguing for the nonenforcement of the law, arguing for the wholesale failure to enforce the law.', Gowdy said..."

rabid bobcats, a rural hospital, and EB-5 funding
"This particular EB-5 conflict is between folks who want to protect us against rabid bobcats, on one hand, and the green-eyeshade types at USCIS, on the other; it is rural health providers vs. urban regulators, and my initial sympathies are with the former, but it is more complicated than that.   Those who want to protect us from rabid bobcats in rural Alabama are allied with a Manhattan lawyer, who writes from the 24th floor of a skyscraper, and a batch of rich Chinese who want to buy their way into this [the USA] via the EB-5 program.   The urban regulators are feds who pay attention to financial reports and who expect them, reasonably, not to contradict each other.   The conflict is now in its third round -- it is in the federal district court for the District of Columbia, and so far the first two rounds have gone to the feds.   It is case 1:16-cv-00711-RMC in the PACER system of court records.   While USCIS has unwittingly permitted $50M in EB-5 funds to be stolen by a Miami millionaire operating in northern Vermont, as we reported earlier, another part of the system is saying no to a request to invest $6M in the struggling hospital in Crenshaw County, AL.   There were 13,665 people living in the county in 2010, and the median household income was $26,054, a hair above half the national median.   Clearly this is the kind of rural poverty that is supposed to attract EB-5 funding.   But neither the staff of the EB-5 program nor the appeals staff of the Administrative Appeals Office are moved by these considerations.   The AAO decision against the investors relies, to a large extent, on contradictory financial statements provided by the Crenshaw hospital.   I worry that slick, urban proposals, even if they hide managerial misbehavior carefully, are more likely to be funded than heart-felt but clumsy ones for rural hospitals.   I also wonder about for-profit hospitals, generally, and the strong possibility that we have too many small-scale rural hospitals.   Funding the Crenshaw hospital, with 65 beds, may not be in the public interest.   This hospital is located an hour's drive from the many hospitals in Montgomery and is within about 25 minutes of 2 slightly larger hospitals in the nearby county seats of Pike and Butler Counties.   It is nice to have a hospital a few minutes drive from one's home (my situation), but can we afford it...

Birchfield v. ND oral arguments to supremes Wednesday: drive a vehicle, implicitly waive your constitutional rights?
"In recent years, the legislatures of some states have criminalized a driver's choice to assert his constitutional right not to be subject to an unlawful search and seizure.   These legislatures have enacted laws which make it a crime for a driver to refuse to consent to searches and seizures via breathalyzer and blood chemical tests after being placed under arrest after a routine traffic stop [but, the corrupt Obummer regime, asserts, checking whether such a person stopped is an illegal alien constitutes a severe violation of privacy].   On 2016 February 11, our firm filed an amicus curiae brief in the USA supreme court, opposing such state laws in North Dakota and Minnesota, and explaining, once again, to the high court the historic property basis of the Fourth Amendment.   In a recent case decided in 2013, the USA supreme court refused to expand the 'exigent circumstances' exception to the Fourth Amendment's warrant requirement for DUI arrests, rejecting the government's theory that every DUI case involved exigent circumstances because in a short time, alcohol passes out of the blood stream.   Certain state legislatures were so displeased with this ruling that they decided to create an end run on the Fourth Amendment.   Unable to compel drivers to give blood or breathe into a machine, these states made it a crime for a person to refuse to submit to a police demand to do so.   These states justify their laws based on 2 legal fictions -- that driving is a 'privilege, not a right' [which was invented by judges a considerable while after wagons and automobiles and trucks had been driven by right of liberty], and that by driving a car that the driver impliedly consents to have his blood and breath searched.   In effect, these states give a driver the choice to either surrender his rights or go directly to jail..."

delusional choom-gangster, oath-breaker, anti-USA, anti-USA-Constitution Barack Hussein Obummer doesn't consider Golan Heights part of Israel...
"...after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed that the Golan 'will forever remain under Israeli sovereignty'...   Republican presidential candidate senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) expressed support for Netanyahu's comments, saying, 'The government of Israel reiterated the reality that the Golan Heights are part of Israel's sovereign territory.'   'Given the presence of hostile terrorist organizations ranging from ISIL/ ISIS/ Daesh/ IS/ caliphate to Hezbollah on Israel's northern border, it is foolhardy and dangerous for the international community to try to pressure Israel to abandon the Golan to the chaos engulfing Syria.', Cruz added.   Kirby's comment followed condemnation by Germany which said the 1981 annexation of the territory was in violation of international law [though, after Syrian artillery and other attacks on Israel since 1948 (a year after England and France granted them to the newly-created state of Syria), and especially shelling in 1967 April, it was regained in 1967 June 9th & 10th (along with Eastern Israel in the 6-Day War).   The Knesset offered to give it to Syria later that month in return for guarantees of peace, but negotiations failed.   Syria tried to take the Heights from Israel in 1973 (Yom Kippur War) and failed.   Now, Palestinians are occupying Eastern Israel, while Syria and Israel both claim the Golan Heights from an argument of it being theirs first and theirs from the need to have defensible borders, and the others being, or having been, occupying their rightful territory.]"

yes, of course we need a border wall/fence with Canada, and the Coast Guard and Navy
"Canada's sloppy, rushed and reckless 'Syrian' 'refugee' resettlement program is America's looming national security nightmare.   Donald Trump shouldn't just be promising to build a Mexican border wall.   He (and any other sovereignty-minded presidential candidate) should be vowing to re-build the decimated 'wall' of first-line watch-dogs, field enforcement and patrol officers on our northern border.   The urgency could not be greater.   The Canadian liberal government has fast-tracked tens of thousands of Syrian Muslims into its country over the past 5 months and now plans to double its interim 25K goal by 2019.   The bleeding-heart Canucks are forging ahead despite reports this week of the country's failed $16M screening program to stop Islamic terrorists from slipping through the cracks.   Multiple data-bases are not interoperable.   [I'm shocked, shocked!, to learn it might be a good idea to have some scripts and remote procedures to trigger multiple queries.]   Information is out-dated or useless...

rights vs. privileges vs. whims & wishes
"...In the standard historical usage of the term, a 'right' is something that exists simultaneously among people [simply because they are people].   As such, a right imposes no obligation on another.   For example, the right to free speech is something we all possess.   My right to free speech imposes no obligation upon another except that of non-interference.   Similarly, I have a right to travel freely.   Again, that right imposes no obligation upon another except that of non-interference.   Contrast those rights to free speech and travel with the supposed rights to medical care and decent housing.   Those supposed rights do impose obligations upon others.   We see that by recognizing that there is no Santa Claus or tooth fairy.   If one does not have money to pay for a medical service or decent housing and the government provides it, where do you think the government gets the money?   If you agree that there is no Santa Claus or tooth fairy and that congress does not have any resources of its very own, the only way for congress to give one American something is to first take it from some other American.   IOW, if one person has a right to something he did not earn, it requires another person's not having a right to something he did earn.   Let's apply this bogus concept of rights to my right to speak and travel freely.   Doing so, in the case of my right to free speech, it might impose obligations on others to supply me with an auditorium, microphone and audience.   My right to travel freely might require that others provide me with resources to purchase airplane tickets and hotel accommodations.   If I were to demand that others make sacrifices so that I can exercise my free speech and travel rights, I suspect that most Americans would say, 'Williams, yes, you have rights to free speech and traveling freely, but I'm not obligated to pay for them!'   As human beings, we all have certain natural rights [and powers].   Of the rights we possess, we have a right to delegate [powers] to government.   For example, we all have a natural right to defend ourselves against predators.   Because we possess that right, we can delegate [the power to assist and co-ordinate that defense] to government.   By contrast, I do not have a right to take one person's earnings to give to another.   Because I have no such right, I cannot delegate [the power to take someone else's earnings] to government.   If I did take your earnings to provide medical services for another, it would rightfully be described and condemned as an act of theft [and you would deserve restitution and penalties].   When government does the same, it's still theft, albeit legalized theft.   If you're a Christian or a Jew [or a Muslim/Mohmmedan], you should be against these so-called rights.   When God gave Moses the eighth commandment -- 'Thou shalt not steal' [and do not kidnap, take reasonable precautions against endangering others, don't intentionally assault peaceful people, curb your animals, penalize thieves, make restitution for damages, governments must guard against initiations of force and fraud, use honest weights and measures, courts should not discriminate for or against people based on their wealth nor widows nor orphans, do not cheat converts in monetary transactions either, be reasonable about collateral for loans so they can pay you back, guard against any remote possibility of bribery of judges, pay employees promptly and in full and do no put liens on pay to recover debts, officials who err must publicly apologize and make restitution, be charitable especially to widows and orphans] -- I am sure that he did not mean 'thou shalt not steal unless there is a majority vote in congress'.   The bottom line is medical care, housing and decent jobs are not rights at all, at least not in a free society; they are wishes..."

"I write this from the hospital.   Seems I have lung cancer.   My doctors tell me my growth was caught early and I'll be fine.   Soon I will barely notice that a fifth of my lung is gone.   I believe them.   After all, I'm at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital.   US News & World Report ranked it #1 in New York.   I get excellent medical care here.   But as a consumer reporter, I have to say, the hospital's customer service stinks.   Doctors keep me waiting for hours, and no one bothers to call or [e-mail message or twit or txt] to say, 'I'm running late.'   Few doctors give out their e-mail address.   Patients can't communicate using modern technology.   I get X-rays, EKG tests, echocardiograms, blood tests.   Are all needed? I doubt it.   But no one discusses that with me or mentions the cost.   Why would they? The patient rarely pays directly.   Government or insurance companies pay.   I fill out long medical history forms by hand and, in the next office, do it again.   Same wording: name, address, insurance, etc. [i.e. massive privacy violation + bureaucracy].   I shouldn't be surprised that hospitals are lousy at customer service.   The Detroit Medical Center once bragged that it was one of [the USA's] first hospitals to track medication with barcodes.   Good! But wait -- ordinary supermarkets did that decades before.   Customer service is sclerotic because hospitals are largely socialist bureaucracies.   Instead of answering to consumers, which forces businesses to be nimble, hospitals report to government, lawyers and [protection rackets]..."

2016-04-21 (5776 Nisan 13)
judge Andrew P. Napolitano _Jewish World Review_
the president, congress, the states, the courts, and immigration
"In 2014, [president Barack Hussein Obummer] signed 12 executive orders directing various agencies in the departments of State, Justice and Homeland Security to refrain from deporting some 4M adult immigrants illegally present in the United States if they are the parents of children born here or legally present here and if they hold a job, obtain a high-school diploma or its equivalent, pay taxes and stay out of prison.   Unfortunately for the president, the conditions he established for avoiding deportation had been rejected by congress.   In response to the executive orders, 26 states and the House of Representatives sued the president and the recipients of the orders, seeking to prevent them from being enforced.   The states and the House argued that the president effectively rewrote the immigration laws and changed the standards for the deportation of unlawfully present adult immigrants.   The states also argued that because [federal judges require] them to offer the same safety net of social services for those illegally present as they do for those lawfully present, the financial burden that the enforcement of those orders would put upon them would be far beyond their budgetary limits.   Moreover, they argued, enforcement of the president's orders would effectively constitute a presidential command to the states to spend their own tax dollars against their wishes, and the president lacks the power to do that...   Statutes are presumed to be constitutional [but only 'presumed' to be, in part because congress-people have a sworn duty to write only constitutional laws, and to challenge any unconstitutional bills...   a function in which they have grown more derelict, and even statutes presumed to be constitutional are subject to thorough challenge].   Executive orders that contradict statutes are presumed to be unconstitutional, and the court has no business trying to save them.   All presidents from time to time have exercised discretion upon individuals when it comes to enforcing laws that pose hardships [when evidence-gathering would be prohibitively costly, etc.].   But none has done so for 4M people, and none has written substitute laws of his own making.   Until now."

a brief chronology of the Sierra Club's retreat from the connection between immigration and over-population & over-crowding
"1980.   A Sierra Club representative testified to the federal Select Commission on Immigration and Refugee Policy, saying: 'It is obvious that the number of immigrants the United States accepts affects our population size and growth rate.   It is perhaps less well known the extent to which immigration policy, even more than the number of children per family, is the determinant of the future numbers of Americans.'     1989.   The club's board adopted this policy position: 'Immigration to the United States should be no greater than that which will permit achievement of population stabilization in the United States.'   The board sought to avoid offending ethnic sensibilities with the further declaration: 'The Sierra Club will lend its voice to the congressional debate on legal immigration issues when appropriate, and then only on the issue of the number of immigrants -- not where they come from or their category, since it is the fact of increasing numbers that affects population growth and ultimately, the quality of the environment.'     1992.   A few weeks after Carl Pope became the club's executive director, he presented his views in a letter to the editor of the New York Times.   Pope wrote that the club believed that all nations 'should act to curb their own population growth'.   He added: 'The United States and other developed nations have a special responsibility because of our disproportionate per capita consumption of world resources.   Our goal in the USA should be achieving domestic population stabilization.'     1996. Under pressure from immigration activists, the club's board adopted a position of neutrality..."

stop drinking the media's leftist ideological poison
"...In truth, it is not remarkable at all that a group of people from a variety of ethnic, racial or cultural backgrounds find themselves in the same place at any given point in time in the USA.   Nor is it remarkable that all of those people would pull together -- literally -- to save another man's life.   What is remarkable -- and deplorable -- is that that kind of cooperation and collaboration goes on every day in this country, and at some level, we all know this.   We see it.   Yet we ignore it in favor of popular negative narratives that are slowly but surely poisoning public morale..."

the atomic-bombing of Hiroshima & Nagasaki in context
"...Japan had just demonstrated with its nihilistic defense of Okinawa -- where more than 12K Americans died and more than 50K were wounded, along with perhaps 200K Japanese military and civilian casualties...   Tens of thousands of Americans had already died in taking the Pacific islands as a way to get close enough to bomb Japan.   On March 9-10, 1945, B-29 bombers dropped an estimated 1,665 tons of napalm on Tokyo, causing at least as many deaths as later at Hiroshima...   Over the next three months, American attacks leveled huge swaths of urban Japan.   USA planes dropped about 60M leaflets on Japanese cities, telling citizens to evacuate and to call upon their leaders to cease the war.   Japan still refused to surrender and upped its resistance with thousands of Kamikaze air-strikes...   World War 2 was the most deadly event in human history.   Some 60M people perished in the 6 years between Germany's surprise invasion of Poland on 1939 Sept. 1 and the official Japanese surrender on 1945 Sept. 2...   Perhaps 80% of the [WW2] dead were civilians...   Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan started the respective European and Pacific theaters of World War 2 with surprise attacks on neutral nations.   Their uniquely barbaric war-making led to the deaths of some 50M Allied soldiers, civilians and neutrals..."

does "demonizing" the other side promote constructive debate?
Watts Up With That
I'm not certain what he means by "demonizing".   I know people often seem to think that the other side simply stating the plain truth from their POV is "extreme", or "demonizing".   But if the debate persists through the heat, this can lead to understanding the fine distinctions each side is making in its premises that are different from the premises and lines of reasoning the other side is making, and thus lead to consensus.   But it often takes several passes, as the old ambiguities and errors in denotations of words tend to come back, and the new corrections are easily forgotten.

USA citizen ivy leaguer dumped, but cheap, young, pliant H-1B guest-workers keep jobs
"One of the reasons our rulers are rarely worried about foreign worker programs is that such programs never adversely impact them, their relatives, or their college class-mates.   If you are in congress or one of the big foundations or universities, the likelihood is that no one you know personally ever lost a job to an under-paid foreign farm worker or had their wages reduced by a contractor's use of H-2B temporary workers.   And if you can't identify with the victims, it is hard for you to see -- as you should -- that something is very wrong.   An exception to that rule emerged from an e-mail I received the other day -- an Ivy League graduate, a well-paid and long-time employee of the company in question, lost his or her job in a lay-off while H-1B workers in the unit concerned kept their jobs.   Our informant would lose a valuable severance package were the specifics to surface.   So instead of having an open discussion of the company's practices, as we have, for instance, in the Verizon strike, a fog of silence covers the matter.   So the name of the employer and the industry, and the name, gender, age, college, and specific skill of the worker in this case will remain under shrouds.   The person involved is a USA citizen by birth.   I suspect, given the size of the H-1B program, that the CIS informant is not the only Ivy Leaguer who has been treated in this manner, though I have not heard of it happening to any of my own Princeton colleagues.   If the reader knows of other Ivy Leaguers who have suffered this fate, please e-mail us, with 'attention David North' in the subject line.   The H-1B program is something that needs substantial shrinking, if not a complete abolition; this is the case not because it harms the occasional Ivy Leaguer, but because it floods our labor markets and allows big corporations to hire nearly indentured, cheap foreign workers rather than American ones.   There are close to a million H-1B workers in the country at any one time; the government has been careful not to let us know exactly how many there are, or how adversely they effect the American labor market."

where the UN and ISIL/ ISIS/ Daesh/ IS/ caliphate converge: shining a spotlight on do-badders & do-gooder hypocrisy
"...Last week, UNESCO's executive board passed a resolution unanimously outlining the steps the organization would take to rebuild the devastated site, whose major monuments were destroyed or damaged during the city's 10 months under ISIL/ ISIS/ Daesh/ IS/ caliphate rule.   All of this, is all very well and nice.   The problem is that UNESCO commits the very crimes for which it condemns ISIL/ ISIS/ Daesh/ IS/ caliphate.   Indeed, it committed the crime of seeking to wipe out history, whose preservation is 'an essential condition for peace and the future of the region', the day it passed its resolution on Palmyra.   Right after UNESCO's board unanimously passed its resolution on Palmyra, it also passed a resolution whose goal is to erase Jewish history in the land of Israel.   The resolution, titled merely 'Occupied Palestine', [pointedly inverting reality as they were referring to Palestinian-occupied Eastern Israel, and years ago gave Palestine=Gaza Strip to the Palestinians], defined the Temple Mount, Judaism's most sacred site, as an exclusively Muslim site.   Jews who visit it were referred to derisively as 'right wing extremists'.   The Western Wall, Judaism's second holiest site, was similarly referred to as an exclusively Islamic site.   The resolution [repeated] a previous resolution's false claim that the tombs of the patriarchs and matriarchs of the Jewish people in Hebron and Bethlehem are mosques.   The resolution, like the one from last week, was also a war crime, where UNESCO acted with malice to destroy the historical record.   In another act of cultural aggression, whose goal is to destroy the historical record, in last week's resolution UNESCO falsely and maliciously referred to Jewish cemeteries as 'fake graves', in 'Muslim cemeteries'..."

IRS and congress ignore job-related felonies -- as long as they are committed by illegal aliens
"During a recent Senate hearing chaired by senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT), senator Dan Coats (R-IN) focused on the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) support of identity theft by illegal aliens and the IRS's total disregard for the American citizen victims of these crimes.   Coats defined employment-related identity theft as occurring when someone uses another person's identity -- their name or their [Socialist Insecurity number (SIN)] -- to get a job illegally.   The hearing also exposed the failure of congress to do anything to protect USA citizens from massive illegal alien job-related identity theft, leading me to think that what needs to be done is to provide the [Socialist Insecurity numbers (SINs)] of all members of congress plus the [Socialist Insecurity numbers (SINs)] of all IRS officials and their staffs to illegal aliens so they can 'file' their taxes without stealing the identities of average USA citizens...   Three key points came from the interchange between senator Coates and IRS [chief racketeer] John Koskinen.   The IRS encourages and facilitates the commission of job-related felonies, including [Socialist Insecurity] fraud, forgery, perjury, and identity theft as long as these crimes are committed by illegal aliens and their employers.   The IRS places the interests of illegal aliens ahead of those of USA citizens by forbidding its employees from notifying USA citizens, including millions of American children, that their [Socialist Insecurity numbers (SINs)] are being fraudulently used by illegal aliens in spite of the fact that these Americans suffer serious harm.   Congress is complicit since it has long been aware of the problem but has done nothing to protect American citizens from illegal alien, job-related felonies.   I wrote about this in 2009 in a CIS Backgrounder: 'Illegal, but not Undocumented: Identity Theft, Document Fraud, and Illegal Employment', and yet like Captain Renault in the film classic, 'Casablanca', every time this comes up our elected officials all repeat in unison 'I'm shocked, shocked to find that illegal alien driven identity theft is going on in here!'   IRS Does Not Notify Victims.   As Coats explained, when a stolen [Socialist Insecurity number (SIN)] is used, a W-2 form with this false information is then sent to the IRS and [Socialist Insecurity Abomination (SIA)] by an employer and the W-2 may be attached to the tax return of the illegal alien worker.   The average person would naturally assume that when the IRS or [SIA] receives the phony W-2 they would flag it and take action against the employer and employee submitting it.   However, they don't and this is what really happens:   The IRS processes tax returns with false W-2 information and issues refunds as if they were routine tax returns.   When the IRS marks the account of a victim, it does not notify the [Socialist Insecurity Abomination] that the victims did not earn the income reported on a W-2.   The IRS forbids its employees from notifying victims that their information has been stolen.   The IRS identified 200K new cases of employment-related identity theft last year and marked the victims' accounts, yet did not notify the victims.   According to the IRS officials, their job is simply to process tax returns and issue tax refunds or collect taxes due.   The IRS ignores notifications from the [Socialist Insecurity Abomination] that a name does not match a [Socialist Insecurity number (SIN)] and may use its own system to determine whether or not a number is valid.   Employers are liable for IRS-imposed fines and penalties if they submit false W-2 information, yet neither the IRS nor the Social Security Administration notifies employers that the information they are submitting is false, and they don't fine or otherwise penalize the employers..."
