Texas Judge Hanen previously blocked execution of President Obama’s “executive action”, the DOJ now seeking to eliminate the injunction….  Hanen is well positioned to have his decision upheld.  However, like all Obama action – nothing is ever actually safe, just because the law is being followed.

(Via Associated Press) Federal appeals judges on Friday peppered lawyers on both sides with questions in a fight over President Barack Obama’s move to shield millions of immigrants from deportation.

A 5th Circuit Court of Appeals panel held a special hearing in a closely watched case that is holding up Obama’s immigration action.

A coalition of 26 states, led by Texas sued to block the plan. The hearing was on an appeal of a Texas judge’s injunction.

The Justice Department argued that Texas has no legal standing in the matter. Texas’ solicitor general countered that granting legal status to immigrants will be costly for Texas.

The judges did not rule and took the case under advisement. (more…)

…”[Officer] Hazeltine was shot in an “apparent ambush” Thursday (April 16) around 8:30 a.m. while directing traffic in a Paradis school zone”…

…”Other deputies were in the area and responded to the shooting, Champagne said. They took the man, whose name has not been released, into custody after a “tussle.””…

(New Orleans) A St. Charles Parish Sheriff’s deputy was shot three times Thursday morning, with one bullet penetrating his lung, authorities said. He is in stable but guarded condition at LSU Interim Hospital in New Orleans.

Sheriff Greg Champagne identified the injured deputy as Burt Hazeltine, a “solid deputy” and corporal in the traffic division who has been with the department for 12 to 15 years.

Champagne addressed reporters around 11:15 a.m. outside the ER entrance of the hospital. He said Hazeltine is in his late 30s and is married with four young children.

Hazeltine was shot in an “apparent ambush” Thursday (April 16) around 8:30 a.m. while directing traffic in a Paradis school zone, the Sheriff’s Office said. He was rushed to the hospital in New Orleans and taken into surgery.

Champagne said the deputy was shot in the face near his left eye, in his left elbow and in the right side of his chest. The bullet in his chest penetrated a lung. In addition, he has bleeding in his chest and a bullet lodged behind his eye, raising questions whether he will lose sight in it. (more…)

Garry Kasparov: Negative impact. I think we are now facing disaster beyond belief. Obama should understand that normalization of relations with any country means a two-way street. And now we can see it in only one way. The deal with Iran, we hear two opposite stories. And not just about little things here or there; not commas and a couple letters.

You know, the fundamental differences in most of the substantial points in the deal. Then he shakes hands with Raul Castro. Shaking hands with a dictator, you know a hand covered in blood. You have to get something in exchange. There are still hundreds and hundreds of political prisoners in Cuba. It seems Obama wants his PR opportunities and he’s furiously defending his policy attacking GOP, attacking… while offering an olive branch to those who are attacking the values of the free world around the globe.

Apparently some folks in the DOJ are a little fuzzy on the whole good bad concept as it relates to the use of , um, “hookers”?

(Via The Blaze) Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina said Monday that California’s water crisis is the result of “liberal environmentalists” who are “willing to sacrifice other people’s lives and livelihoods at the altar of their ideology.”

“With different policies over the last 20 years, all of this could be avoided,” Fiorina said on Glenn Beck’s radio program. “Despite the fact that California has suffered from droughts for millennia, liberal environmentalists have prevented the building of a single new reservoir or a single new water conveyance system over decades during a period in which California’s population has doubled.”

Fiorina said that as a result, 70 percent of California’s rainfall “washes out to sea” year after year.

“How is it possible that we don’t hear that story on the news at all?” Beck demanded. (more…)

Dear Citizens of Kalifornia, Comrade Governor Jerry Brown has signed emergency power authority to control water use due to an excessive drought in the state.  Part of that alarming reality was an admission by Governor Brown that citizens would be fined heavily for taking too long a shower.

Many non-California readers responded to the news with questions about how California was going to be able to enforce the length of a shower, or the use of water within the construct of personal activity taking place in the privacy of a citizen’s home.

Today some clarity begins to emerge.

Charlie LeDuff does something the entire U.S. mainstream media are afraid to do, confront the primary and visible advocate for ISIS in the United States !!

(Via IJR) On an episode of “The Americans,” host Charlie LeDuff and his crew went to track down America’s ISIS pinup boy, Ahmad Jibril.

Born and raised in Dearborn, Michigan, Jibril has become one of the most popular online preachers for those looking to join, or who are currently fighting for, the terrorist organization. (read more)

This stuff is getting beyond absurd.

To give the municipal government a fair shake they are claiming the guy wasn’t arrested for failure to mow his grass; he was technically arrested because he failed to pay the fines levied for not mowing his grass.

…”The statement also made it clear [the municipal courts] would not arrest someone for not mowing their grass”…

They arrest people (issue warrants) for not paying the fines for not mowing their grass. See the difference?

Regardless, this stuff is dangerous and absurd – stop the slippery slope, I want to get off.

The update is at the bottom of the page – we knew it was coming. Zarif accuses the Obama Administration of lying in the White House fact sheets being promoted by President Obama, Ben Rhodes, Valerie Jarrett, Denis McDonough. Secretary Kerry appears caught between the Truth and the White House.

Thankfully someone captured this video as it was being shared on live CNN TV.

This is Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif describing the deal. Note the nuances and divergences between Zarif and President Obama’s explanations. Understanding these is critical.

CNN abruptly stopped broadcasting the Iranian press conference at the conclusion of this segment – and cutaway to panel discussion in the middle of the presser.

The transparency of the CNN decision to hide the Iranian perspective is obvious, it undercuts the Obama explanations completely. (more…)

Let there be no doubt left !
