The union representing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers are suing DHS and Janet Napolitano because they are not enforcing the law. The lawsuit stems from the Obama administration’s refusal to deport illegal aliens and their children.
A Federal Judge has now affirmed the obvious, DHS cannot just randomly choose which immigration laws to enforce, and which to avoid.
But think about this the next time you are in a challenging conversation with the progressive left – Has there ever been another modern President who needed to be sued, to follow the laws that were constitutionally written? (more…)
This story, today’s headline, and how the Treepers review it, is what makes the Treehouse different – As pointed out by Treeper Woohoowee the House Report is an example of presenting information “as if” the desire of the GOP is to reveal the Truth – It is NOT. The GOP report completely skips the issues of 9/11, 9/12, 9/13 and 9/14 2012 and instead focuses on the “why did the administration change the narrative” beginning 9/15/12.
The congressional report completely skips the heart of the matter in a politically motivated attempt to rebut a series of known lies, misleading statements, and false claims. In doing so, the report, and those who wrote it, do a horrid injustice to the quest for TRUTH.
However, we hold no predisposition of avoidance.
A Typical Media Report of the Congressional finding looks like this: House Republicans have concluded that Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was responsible for cutting security at the consulate in Benghazi ahead of last year’s attack there, and that the administration lied about why it downplayed terrorism as the cause of the assault.

Originally published 4 days ago in the New York Post – Definitely worth a read:
New York Post – Somewhere near Boston early Monday morning, he packed a bomb in a bag. It was by all accounts relatively crude — a pressure cooker, explosives, some wires, ball bearings and nails . . . nails which, hours later, doctors would struggle to remove from the flesh of bleeding victims.
His motive is unclear. His intent is not: It was to maximize injury, suffering, pain, trauma and, yes, death.
Perhaps Monday’s bomber will be caught, perhaps not.
Perhaps Monday’s bomber will be offered a teaching job at Columbia University. (more…)
It is perhaps serendipity the name Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi surfaced during the investigation of the Boston Bombing, “perhaps“. A name the administration would just as soon be forgotten.
Indeed if you rely on the water-carrying media to follow the story it’s probably the last time anyone will ever discuss the Saudi national, college student, and his powerful family connections. But some within the new media, in addition to Glenn Beck, are staying on the story.
Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi was injured and hospitalized during the bombing. Subsequently two high level meetings with his family’s interested representatives were conducted by both Secretary of State John Kerry and President Obama himself. Michelle Obama even went to the hospital where Ali Al Harbi was being cared for and paid him a personal visit.
Napolitano questioned about Saudi student being “deported, due to national security concerns“…. watch:
On Monday night 4/15/13 (the day of the Boston Bombing) new media reports from the Boston area discussed that an apartment belonging to a Saudi National, Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi, in Revere Mass, was searched by FBI and Law enforcement. Abdul was in the U.S. on a student visa.
Federal search warrant is now being executed at 5th floor apt 364 Ocean Ave in Revere, MA – alot of activity, different agencies on scene.
Immediately following this report I checked this site and found Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi lived in Revere, Mass (Boston suburb) at an apartment on the 5th floor. #503 – That listing is now scrubbed, gone, disappeared…. down the rabbit hole. (more…)
WASHINGTON – The Senate will vote Wednesday afternoon on what could be the biggest change in U.S. gun laws in nearly two years.
Senators will take up the bipartisan proposal from Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) to expand background checks on firearm purchases and close the so-called gun show loophole at 4 p.m.
It will require 60 votes to pass, and the White House and Democrats still lack the final votes they need. (more…)
Delinquency referrals in schools throughout the state declined 16 percent compared to the same period the year before. School referrals declined in 46 of Florida’s 67 counties, with Miami-Dade recording the biggest numeric decline (353 cases or 60 percent) in school-related delinquency. A school-related referral is an arrest for a juvenile misdemeanor or felony committed on school grounds. (link)
Two weeks later, February 15th, 2012, the following Press Release:
Another two weeks later, Sunday February 26th, 2012, one of those improved Miami-Dade statistics decided to confront a hispanic man named George Zimmerman, in Sanford Florida. The high school junior, a diverted statistic from Krop High, punched Mr. Zimmerman in the nose, knocking him to the ground, and straddled him MMA style. (more…)
We call it “his money” because in the world of all things progressive they view wealth, or income, as belonging to the State. Progressives in a larger sense view wealth as a static amount of available resource, a single pie to be divided – the Scarcity mentality.
Therefore all production value, the income earnings of your labor, actually belongs to the State, and they alone will determine how much of their money you are allowed to receive. It is, in its most direct sense, the essential tenet of fabial-socialism; Which is, as you know, the essential ideology of modern progressives (Democrats or Liberals defined).
WASHINGTON – President Obama’s 2014 budget calls for a trillion dollars in new taxes, almost twice as much as previously thought, The Washington Examiner has learned.
“Of the more than $1 trillion in new taxes, about $800 billion is raised through the individual income tax system, about $125 billion comes from new excise taxes — including new taxes on tobacco and financial companies,” a source familiar with the president’s budget explained. “The remainder comes from reverting back to the 2009 estate tax parameters and other miscellaneous tax increases.” […] (link)
FACT: The last federal budget actually signed into law took place in September of 2007 for fiscal year 2008. It was signed by President Bush.
FACT: Since then, and due to the Democrat party spending objectives, not a single day of the Obama administration has been with any budget restrictions at all.
FACT: The ‘spend at will’ Democrats had full control of both houses of congress and the White House for Fiscal Years 2009, 2010, 2011 and they never passed a budget. The Senate never even proposed one, and the Obama budget proposal only got 2 votes in 2011, and -ZERO- votes in 2012. (more…)
