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…)

In an effort to change the political appearances of the Republican party away from the stodgy old white male all boys club – you actually see Tucker Carlson, Karl Rove and Ann Coulter protecting one of the most representative examples of the ‘stodgy old white male all boys club’ in Thad Cochran.
It’s beyond a parody of itself.
More evidence continues to surface that Mississippi Senator Thad Cochran, born in 1937, is losing his cognitive marbles.   But the establishment GOP has invested so much of their political capital in retaining their ability to hold his arm up while he signs his name, they are flailing around desperately to try and hide the obvious.
The evidence of manipulation of the vote in Mississippi is overwhelming.
The NRSC (National Republican Senatorial Campaign) spent tens of thousands of dollars in attack ads against Cochran’s primary opponent, Chris McDaniels, making him appear racist.  Even Democrat Charlie Rangel was praising the efforts of the NRSC. (more…)

Well, you decide.

(Reason.com via iOTW) A mother in Bristol, Connecticut, was charged with leaving a child unsupervised in a car Wednesday. How old was the helpless tyke?
Eleven.
Why was she in the car? She asked her mom if she could stay there.
Was she in danger of boiling to death? According to WFSB:

When officers opened the car doors, they said the child was responsive and not in distress, and that the car was not “excessively hot.”

In other words, the 11-year-old girl was indisputably fine. Not overheated, not abandoned, not upset—nothing.
So don’t just ask why the mom was charged with a crime, ask why is this a crime?  Why does the law get to decide how a mom should raise her kids? Why does the law treat a self-sufficient 11 year old as a helpless forsaken baby? Why does the law allow cops to harass tweens and moms just going about their day?  (continue reading)

A “billion” is a thousand millions.   President Obama asking for $3.8 Billion to finance his ongoing efforts at collecting, supporting and housing his Central American “refugees”, ie. illegal aliens.
Yes, not only does he actively support them, but he also wants YOU to pay to support them.   And like the blind idiots they are, congress will give Obama your payroll taxes.
We can’t afford the social welfare programs we currently have (we are forced to borrow .40¢ on every dollar), and yet we’re going to throw an even larger number of fully dependent non-productive illegal aliens into the broken melting pot. 
WASHINGTON DC –  The White House on Tuesday will request $3.8 billion from Congress in emergency funding to deal with an influx of unaccompanied minors from Central America, a far higher amount than the Obama administration had previously signaled, according to a Capitol Hill source familiar with the plans.
The money would go to several federal agencies, including the Departments of Justice, Homeland Security, State and Health and Human Services. Funds would be allocated to send more immigration judges to the southern border, build additional detention facilities and add border patrol agents, said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the administration had not formally made the request.

Feds move to limit reporters on official visit to Oklahoma holding site for border kids http://t.co/MSWCTPT7ir

WASHINGTON DC – As members of Congress and reporters ask to visit federal facilities housing children who have been apprehended by the U.S. in recent months, federal officials are slapping limits on members of the news media who want a glimpse inside.

For example, an email sent to news organizations by Jesus Garcia, a public affairs officer for the Administration for Children and Families, a division of the Department of Health and Human Services, sets out a number of restrictions on reporters if they want to visit “Unaccompanied Alien Children” being held at Fort Sill in Oklahoma.
“The purpose of this 40-minute tour is to show members of the press the interior of the shelter and explain the care we provide while these children remain in our custody,” Garcia’s email told reporters. (more…)

Important factoid as you watch – “Illinois” Senator Dick Durbin blocked the use a Chicago facility to house some of the disease infested illegals.

I could spend all day deconstructing these insufferable dolts.
You’ll note he said “Bush signed law in 2008” ? I’m assuming you heard that.
That would be the “William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008“, or more specifically signed by Bush December 23rd of 2008.
Hmmm… wait a minute….  December 2008?  By chance, what do you think happened in November of 2008 ?
(Hint: Election)
HR7311 – William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008 – Wait, that makes this a lame duck signing right before leaving office….. and who was in control of both Houses of Congress – who would have constructed such a bill ?
Hmmmm… perhaps, maybe, per chance… Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid in the Senate with… wait for it,… a filibuster proof super-majority.
And when was the bill HR7311 voted and passed by the Democrats in congress…. wait for it… Brought to floor on December 9th 2008 and voted upon on December 10th 2008. After the previous month’s election that President Elect Barack Obama won. And as the Democrats knew they now held the House of Reps (Pelosi), the Senate (Reid) and the White House (Obama)….. Boy they moved fast on that one !
But wait, it gets even better…. (more…)

The USPS has a new slogan about shipping: “if it fits, it ships, for one fixed low rate” but -to be fair- technically they don’t actually promise the ‘delivery‘ part.
*NOTE* If you are watching this from Alabama, and you are waiting on a delivery of something, y’all might just need a Snickers bar.

RELATED:  7/7/14 – The Postal Regulatory Commission’s report says that 78.4 percent of USPS’s customers – either from households or small- to medium-sized businesses – said they were either very or mostly satisfied with the agency’s service.
USPS had been shooting for an 82.5 percent satisfaction rating. The agency conducts its own surveys to gauge customer approval that also include larger businesses. But those bigger companies were not included in the Postal Service’s overall satisfaction score.
The regulator’s report comes shortly after the Postal Service announced that it would shutter as many as another 82 mail processing centers starting early next year. (read more)

WASHINGTON DC – A member of Congress used to have to specifically report the details if they traveled on someone else’s dime. As of last week, that rule was lifted with no public announcement. National Journal reports:

The move, made behind closed doors and without a public announcement by the House Ethics Committee, reverses more than three decades of precedent. Gifts of free travel to lawmakers have appeared on the yearly financial form dating back its creation in the late 1970s, after the Watergate scandal. National Journal uncovered the deleted disclosure requirement when analyzing the most recent batch of yearly filings.  (link)

For a group of officials that considers an adjustment to their burrito order worthy of a press release and a television appearance, that this change was made literally behind closed doors tells us everything we need to know about it. Members of both parties reached across the aisle and kept their mouths shut about it. (more…)

MEMO

To:                   House Colleagues

From:              Speaker Boehner

Re:                  “[T]hat the Laws Be Faithfully Executed. . .”

Date:               June 25, 2014

For years Americans have watched with concern as President Barack Obama has declined to faithfully execute the laws of our country – ignoring some statutes completely, selectively enforcing others, and at times, creating laws of his own.

Article II, Section III of the Constitution of the United States dictates that the president, as head of the Executive Branch of our government, “shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed,” even if the president does not agree with the purpose of that law.  Under the Constitution’s separation of powers principle, only the Legislative Branch has the power to legislate.

On one matter after another during his presidency, President Obama has circumvented the Congress through executive action, creating his own laws and excusing himself from executing statutes he is sworn to enforce – at times even boasting about his willingness to do it, as if daring the America people to stop him.  On matters ranging from health care and energy to foreign policy and education, President Obama has repeatedly run an end-around on the American people and their elected legislators, straining the boundaries of the solemn oath he took on Inauguration Day.

WISCONSIN – The United States government is actually suing a private American business for discriminating against Hispanic and Asian employees because they don’t speak English on the job.
It involves a Green Bay Wisconsin metal and plastic manufacturer that fired a group of Hmong and Hispanic workers over their English skills, “even though those skills were not needed to perform their jobs,” according to the feds. More importantly, forcing employees to speak English in the U.S. violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, says the Obama administration.
Here’s the twisted explanation from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the federal agency that enforces the nation’s workplace discrimination laws; the Civil Rights Act protects employees from discrimination based on national origin, which includes the linguistic characteristics of a national origin group.
Therefore, according to this reasoning, foreigners have the right to speak their native language even during work hours at an American company that requires English. (more…)
