Harry Reid declares unequivocally (@:50) “The border is secure”…
….. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain…. move along, move along, nothing to see here folks…. Look at the cute squirrels playing bocce ball behind the camera man. “Secure border” folks, “Secure Border”….. “S-E-C-U-R-E B-O-R-D-E-R”.. Yessireee!
“The Border Is Secure”…
Here we go again. Remember the debates in congress about the definition of “is” ?
We’ll keep repeating this because it takes a lot of effort to break through the lame stream media narrative AS THEY AVOID – AVOID – AVOID. President Obama, and by consequence his water-carrying cohorts, are on the wrong side of the majority of Americans on the border crisis. This recent article in The Hill, highlights the disconnect and the problem for Democrats in general. In 2011 President Obama stood on the banks of the Rio Grande and announced “the border is secure”. He went on to shout opposite opinion in that regard, “they want a moat – alligators in the moat”, was silly. In 2014 the unsecure border reality has become the “border crisis”, and is now haunting President Obama and his cohorts in ideology. They are beginning to twitch, visibly. A similar analogy would be to compare the controversial issue around the Islamic Mosque proposed for New York, at Ground Zero. The media and Dems worked feverishly to portray opposition as “bigoted and nativist”. But the reality was the majority of Americans opposed the entire premise. Try as hard as they would, it remained a losing issue for the Dems, but they held on to it as long as they could; eventually conceding collapse under the sheer weight of opposition. Quietly the issue disappeared. So too is this claim that expecting the border to be secure -from infiltrators of any ideology- is a bigoted position. It just won’t sell. Americans of all persuasions can see the depth of stupid; and when we say ‘of all persuasions’ we mean regardless of political tendencies. (more…)
The ridiculous claims by Attorney General Eric Holder are belied by a wide range of diverse aspects; I’m going to point out two. First, as Holder admits he plays the race-card directed toward “some people”, not all people. However, the stupidity of this deflection is inherent when you think of the result as compared to the approach.
Stating he can direct the playing of the race-card, toward specific personages is counter intuitive to the reality that the policy he shields behind it cannot be similarly divided.
You cannot defend legal policy, or the application therein, by saying “fill-in-the-blank people” won’t like this, ergo my policy is subject to attack by racist recipients, without yourself being racist as you consider its construction.
Either the policy stands scrutiny regardless of contingent or coalition or it does not.
If you assemble the legal policy based on the color of the skin carried by the recipient of the policy, then the policy itself is racist. (more…)
Several key empirical facts do not lend credibility to the White House claim of a “surprise crisis”.
Actually quite the opposite – But to really absorb the issue we must analyze current year events through the reality of prior events; we must look into the way-back machine. To that end we have read the entirety of:
A March 2014 Final Report from the National Center For Border Security – HERE
A June 2014 (Declassified) Intelligence Report on UAC’s and Central America – HERE
A June 2014 Congressional Research Report analyzing the prior four years of Central American UAC’s (Unaccompanied Alien Children) – HERE
A July 2014 internal White House and Dept. Of Homeland Security communique outlining the UAC crisis. – HERE
A January 2014 DHS and HHS Summary of UAC directives to include Contract Needs – HERE
Because these reports are so critical to the full understanding we have also embedded them in their pdf. entirety near the end of the timeline: April 2009 – After a Mid-East trip to Egypt to deliver his Cairo speech, President Barack Obama travels to South America for the “Summit of the Americas“. The summit included thirty-four South American countries. Obama wanted to promote his point that relations in North and South America can be heavily improved, especially after age old ideals on immigration and commerce are dropped. Hugo Chavez warmly embraced Obama and provided a gift, a book titled “The Open Veins of Latin America“. (link) December 2009 – November 2010 – 100% of all political effort was leveraged to create and institute the ACA or ObamaCare. All media oxygen is focused on ObamaCare 24/7. November 2010 – President Obama is “shellacked” in Mid-Term elections. Loses control of the House of Representatives to Republicans. Biggest electoral defeat since 1918. January 2011 – Emphasis, and political strategy changes. “Comprehensive Immigration Reform“, ie. “amnesty” becomes the mainstay approach toward retention of political power. Throughout a contentious Republican primary season, to assist their ideological traveler, the U.S. media kept the issue on the front burner. May 2011 – President Obama travels to the Rio Grande sector of the border to push for his immigration platform (ie. Amnesty). He proclaims the border is safe and secure and famously attacks his opposition for wanting an “alligator moat”. (more…)
SEATTLE – City Attorney Pete Holmes has apologized for bringing marijuana to his “drug-free workplace,” the city of Seattle.
“When I brought the unopened marijuana to city offices — trying to keep up with a busy schedule — I nonetheless violated the city’s rules,” Holmes said in a news release this afternoon. “I apologize to my employees, all city employees and to the public.”
In the news release, Holmes said he “volunteered to donate $3,000 to the Downtown Emergency Service Center” as penance.
Holmes purchased marijuana at Cannabis City Tuesday, the first day pot could be sold at legal retail stores.
“Today marijuana sales became legal,” he told the eager crowd of future pot purchasers and media Tuesday. “I’m here to personally exercise that new freedom.” (more…)

MICHIGAN – The immigration crisis on the southern border, involving tens of thousands of minors from El Salvador, Honduras,and Guatemala, has become a concern for Michiganders who live in a rural community with fewer than 3,000 people.
Wolverine Human Services, a social services agency that typically helps needy Michigan children, is in the process of securing a contract and negotiating with the Office of Refugee Resettlement to bring between 60-120 male illegal immigrants, between the ages of 12-17 [pictured above], to the small city of Vassar without any input from residents of the community.

Costco has ordered the removal of Dinesh D’Souza’s book, “America: Imagine A World Without Her” from its bookshelves nationwide as reported the Washington Times.
The owners of Costco have donated heavily to Obama and the Democrats but if they think banning it will harm the sales of the book (and the documentary movie of the same title) they are seriously in error. A Washington Post political reporter has noted Obama’s “romance” with the nation’s second-largest retailer. According to that Washington Post reporter, Costco has contributed $100,000 to Obama and another $100,000 to Priorities USA, the pro-Obama super PAC. In addition, Susan Brotman, wife of Costco co-founder Jeff Brotman was an Obama campaign bundler in 2012 who collected over $500,000 in donations. (more…)
