California Dem Gov. Jerry Brown In Mexico: Send Us More Illegals
California Gov. Jerry Brown said Tuesday his state is willing to shelter more migrant children from Central America if needed but reiterated that the United States needs to find a long-term solution to the immigration crisis.
“I would do everything I could to make sure California will do its part to shelter any young children that are in need of protection,” Brown said after meeting with more than a dozen Central American religious leaders and Los Angeles Catholic Archbishop Jose Horacio Gomez in Mexico to discuss the surge of unaccompanied Central American youth and families illegally crossing into the United States.
“I would support additional shelters to deal with this particular immediate challenge we have,” Brown added.
A Naval Base in California’s Ventura County known as “Building 267″ is one of three shelters set up by federal government officials to house hundreds of Central American children. There are also shelters in Texas and Oklahoma.
While Brown’s three-day visit to Mexico was primarily aimed at business matters, the governor also took on the immigration issue.

The Government Accountability Office Report: Obamacare Website Has Cost Taxpayers $840 Million
The Government Accountability Office Report: Obamacare Website Has Cost Taxpayers $840 Million
The Obama administration has spent roughly $840 million on HealthCare.gov, including more than $150 million just in cost overruns for the version that failed so badly when it launched last year.
The Government Accountability Office says cost overruns went hand-in-hand with the management failures that led to the disastrous launch of HealthCare.gov and the 36 state insurance exchanges it serves.
GAO’s report, prepared for a House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing Thursday, details a long series of management, oversight, and contracting problems that plagued the entire process, from risky contracting practices in 2011 through the botched launch last October.
A massive repair effort got the site stabilized by January, and despite the early failures, the administration ended up exceeding its enrollment target for this year. More than 8 million people chose plans through Obamacare, including the 36 states whose marketplaces run through HealthCare.gov.
All the same, GAO says, similar problems could arise again without structural changes in the way the government manages its contracts and spending.
Wild Thing's comment...............
I have never seen anything like it, the way Obama and his people spend money, money that is from our tax dollars.
None of them have an ounce of being responsible in their DNA.

Report reveals ‘disturbing trend’ of brazen attacks against Border Patrol by gangs, drug and human traffickers
Report reveals ‘disturbing trend’ of brazen attacks against Border Patrol by gangs, drug and human traffickers
A game warden hit in the head with a rock while trying to seize a raft. Police officers wounded in an hours-long standoff with a gang member wanted for murder. Criminals spewing obscenities and death threats at local cops before asking for – and receiving – medical treatment.
And that was just last week.
A weekly report distributed by a Texas state agency to senior law enforcement officials paints a grim picture of the Mexican border, where authorities regularly confront illegal immigrant gang members and draw automatic gunfire from across the Rio Grande, and where local, state and federal authorities fight a never-ending battle against drug smugglers.
The most recent Border Operations Sector Assessment report compiled by the Texas Department of Public Safety’s Border Security Operations Center, dated July 25 and obtained by FoxNews.com, details local and federal authorities encountering smugglers carrying millions of dollars’ worth of marijuana, cocaine and methamphetamine, some of which was found in vehicles filled with biblical passages and religious items; federal agents being assaulted and shot at; gang members brazenly approaching people in their homes; and ranch workers witnessing men crossing into the U.S. wearing camouflage and carrying long guns and automatic weapons.
"In recent weeks the traffic appears to have slowed slightly, yet assaults on law enforcement have increased. This is a disturbing trend that needs to be addressed,” Chris Cabrera, vice president of the National Border Patrol Union, Rio Grande Valley Sector, told FoxNews.com.
“It is paramount that we get this problem under control. It is evident that we need more agents in the field to address the various threats posed to law enforcement as well as to our nation."
The Austin-based Border Security Operations Center serves as the focal point for the six Joint Operations and Intelligence Centers located along Texas’ border with Mexico. Officials there analyze intelligence from state, local and federal law enforcement agencies in an effort to facilitate communication among them.
In the week of July 16-23 alone, according to the report, U.S. authorities apprehended 6,028 illegal immigrants, 4,152 of whom were not from Mexico. Most came from Central America. But there also were people from Russia, Morocco, China, Cuba and India, among other nations.
Cabrera, the union rep for the Rio Grande Valley Sector, the most heavily trafficked portion of the border, was shown a copy of the report by FoxNews.com. He contends the increase in attacks against law enforcement and the compilation of such events--including the game warden assault that occurred in Cabrera's sector -- should have been shared with him and his colleagues. But only higher-up officials receive the weekly reports, he said.
A spokesman for the Texas Department of Public Safety declined to respond on the record; Border Patrol did not return FoxNews.com's request for comment.
The 83-page report for July 16-23 reveals, among other things, that authorities seized $478,879 in U.S. currency, recovered more than seven tons of marijuana (street value: $6.35 million) and turned up more than a million dollars’ worth of cocaine and methamphetamine.
Most of the marijuana was found in an abandoned stash house, resulting in no arrests, while most of the other drugs were found inside vehicles stopped by law enforcement.
The report also revealed Texas Parks and Wildlife game wardens routinely encountered illegal immigrants and gang members, and detained hundreds to be turned over to Border Patrol agents. One reported being hit in the head with a rock while trying to seize a raft used to ferry illegal immigrants across the river. “A Game Warden attempted to seize a raft and was assaulted on the head with a rock that was thrown from the MX river bank,” the report reads. “The subject surrounded himself with children to avoid counter measures. Wardens patrolling the river heard approximately 15 rds of automatic gunfire in MX. A total of 55 IAs were detained,” the report says.
Game wardens also reported seeing people wearing black uniforms and armed with rifles on the Mexican side of the river, and they said gunshots from automatic weapons were heard throughout the night on at least four different occasions.
Last week FoxNews.com reported that Border Patrol agents patrolling the Rincon Peninsula, south of Mission, Texas, and across the river from Reynosa, Mexico, had been forced to run for cover when rounds of .50 caliber gunfire were shot from the Mexican side to the U.S. side of the Rio Grande. Without any protection from such high-caliber rounds, the agents were forced to hide until the barrage stopped. Federal and state sources who work in the area said they believe the gunfire continued for about 15 minutes.
“This happens all the time. We’re out on the border, often we are alone, and all you hear is gunfire,” a Border Patrol agent working an overnight shift along the Rio Grande said last week.
“We are sitting ducks, and it’s only getting worse. Every night, it gets worse.”
The Border Security Operations Center report also includes encounters with gang members and cartel gunmen during the same week, including:
- The Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Office arrested 32 members of gangs that included the Valluco, Texas Chicano Brothers, Sureño 13, Texas Syndicate, Tango Blast and Latin Kings.
- U.S. Border Patrol agents detained a dozen suspected gang members trying to cross the border, including alleged members of the infamous Salvadoran gang MS-13.
- A homeowner called Rio Grande City police to report three men who said they’d crossed into the U.S. were at her door asking for water. When cops arrived, one admitted to being an active MS-13 gang member.
- Two Edinburg, Texas, officers were shot and wounded by a Texas Syndicate gang member wanted for murder during a multiagency, hours-long standoff in La Joya.
- American reporters were threatened by rifle-toting smugglers from across the river.
- Dozens of photos and mugshots of illegal immigrants – some of them juveniles – proudly displaying gang-related tattoos.
The report also notes significant events in Mexico. A section included reports of mass graves found; an oil pipeline explosion likely due to illegal siphoning; cartel extortion of migrants heading toward the U.S. border, imposing tolls on all those who use the highways; and the murders of Mexican law enforcement agents.
Also of note: Salvadorans riding a train called “The Beast” to the U.S. border reportedly told authorities they had been told to take the long way into America – through New Mexico, not Texas, which is the far more direct route – because they had heard that Texas Gov. Rick Perry was sending 1,000 National Guardsmen down to help secure the border.

Hillary Claims Hamas Fires Rockets From Schools Because “Gaza Is Small” (Video)
Hillary Claims Hamas Fires Rockets From Schools Because “Gaza Is Small”
In an interview on Fusion TV former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton claimed Hamas fired rockets from schools because “Gaza is small.”
There are so many things wrong with this statement:
“I think Hamas intended to provoke Israel, because that is why they started the rocket fire again. As I said when I negotiated a ceasefire it held until just this month. And, then Hamas which has its back against the wall decided to once again fire rockets into Israel. Israel made it clear that wasn’t acceptable… The problem is, and I’m not a military planner, Hamas puts its missiles, its rockets into civilian areas. Part of it is because Gaza is pretty small and it’s densely populated.“
Hamas and other extremist groups in Gaza have fired 2,491 rockets into Israel so far this year.
There was no ceasefire.
And, for the third time this month a terrorist rocket arsenal was found at a UN school in Gaza Tuesday.

Senator Jeff Sessions: House Border Bill Is a ‘Surrender To a Lawless President’
Sessions : House Border Bill Is a ‘Surrender To a Lawless President’
Senator Jeff Sessions (R., Ala.) denounced the House Republican border bill as a “surrender to a lawless president” because the legislation does not include any language to prevent President Obama from expanding his unilateral legalization of illegal immigrants.
Here’s the statement:
The Obama Administration has openly declared its plan to implement a unilateral executive amnesty for 5–6 million more illegal immigrants. This unlawful amnesty—urged on by congressional Democrats—would include work permits, taking jobs directly from millions of struggling American citizens.
Any action Congress might consider to address the current border crisis would be futile should the President go forward with these lawless actions. Congress must speak out and fight against them. It must use its spending power to stop the President’s executive amnesty.
That the House leaders’ border package includes no language on executive actions is surrender to a lawless President. And it is a submission to the subordination of congressional power.
After years of falling wages and rising joblessness, American workers are pleading for someone to hear them. How can it be that our President is brazenly advertising that he will nullify and strip away American workers’ immigration protections, and their own elected leaders will not rise to their defense? Or to the defense of our laws and our Constitutional order?
There are other grave concerns with the Granger package as well: because it does not fix our asylum rules and loopholes, the end result of the additional judges and hearings will be more illegal immigrants gaining asylum and access to U.S. welfare. It is a plan for expedited asylum, not expedited removal.
Nor will this package make our rogue President actively enforce anything, coming nowhere close to the kinds of reasonable enforcement activities needed to restore the interior application of our immigration laws.
And finally, a package that is silent on blocking amnesty creates an opportunity for Senate Democrats to add elements of their party’s open borders and mass immigration agenda.
This legislation is unworthy of support.
Wild Thing's comment............
God bless Jeff Sessions. I am so impressed with this man. He and several others are really standing strong about not having amnesty.

Senate Democrats Try To Pass Resolution Declaring Global Warming Is Real… Sen. James Inhofe Blocks It
Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) blocked Senate Democrats on Monday from passing a resolution that would have acknowledged the reality of climate change.
Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) asked unanimous consent to pass S.Res. 524, which is a measure that expresses the sense of the Senate that climate change is occurring and poses a risk to the United States. But Inhofe objected.
“All we wanted to say in this resolution is climate change is happening,” Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) said on the Senate floor. “We can’t afford to sit around here debating whether climate change is real.”
Inhofe has been an ardent climate change denier, saying it is the “biggest hoax” perpetrated against mankind.
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), who is a sponsor of the resolution, said Inhofe was living in an “alternate reality.”
“To say that we have no warming is just not factual,” Whitehouse said. “Ignorant, out-of-touch or crazy — that’s what young Republicans think of that position.”

UK Police To Start Seizing Drivers’ Cell Phones After All Crashes - Good, I hope they do it in USA too.
UK Police To Start Seizing Drivers’ Cell Phones After All Crashes
Police are to start seizing drivers’ mobile phones after a crash in order to check whether they were texting or calling while at the wheel.
Previously mobiles have only been taken when drivers are seriously injured or killed in a crash, but new guidelines issued by the Association of Chief Police Officers says that officers should check drivers’ mobiles even in the event of a minor shunt.
The intent is to crack down on mobile distractions while driving, with recent reports suggesting that more than 500 people are killed or seriously injured each year in the UK because drivers have been calling, texting or posting to social media.
Road safety charity Brake welcomed the new guidelines, with spokesperson Ed Morrow saying: “We are fully supportive of the efforts by the police to clamp down on mobile phone use at the wheel. Offenders need to know they will be caught, they will be prosecuted, and there will be serious consequences.”
The crackdown might also be accompanied by an increase in the penalty for texting at the wheel to six points on drivers’ licenses instead of three. This would mean that drivers could be banned if they are caught using their phones just twice while driving.
However, some individuals are concerned that the new powers could be abused. Hugh Bladon of the Alliance of British Divers told Yahoo News: “I am 100 per cent against anyone texting while driving and those caught deserve everything they get. But I’m worried police could overdo it, just because someone is involved in a minor shunt, surely it shouldn’t mean they should lose their phone.”
Discussing the change to penalty points earlier this month, Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin described the amount of casualties from drivers using their mobile as “absolutely appalling”. “We’ve got to change this,” he said.
Wild Thing's comment............
I approve of this 100%. I hope they do it here in America as well. There are too many people addicted to their stupid phones and yakking and texting while they drive. My guess is 99% of the people doing this could wait.
When I am out running errands etc. I see tons of people holding their phone in one hand and the other on the wheel while driving, too many walking to cross a street while on their phone, riding a bicycle while on their phones.....it is insane.

Hillary Clinton: “I Know How Hard It Is To Be The Leader Of a Small Country” ( VIDEO at link )
Hillary Clinton said Sunday that she knows how difficult it is “to be the leader of a relatively small country.”
Come again?
I think I would have remembered President or Prime Minister or Queen Hillary.
Clinton made the comments on CNN’s “Fareed Zakaria GPS” while discussing the conflict between Israel and Hamas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu.
“I’ve known Bibi a long time and I have a very good relationship with him, in part because we can yell at each other – and we do,” Clinton said. “And I was often the designated yeller.” [...]
“I know how hard it is to be the leader of a relatively small country that is under constant pressure and does face a lot of legitimate threats to its existence from those around it,” Clinton said.

Obama Abandons Israel At U.N. Security Council
Obama Abandons Israel At U.N. Security Council
Despite a history of rocky relations between U.S. President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Obama administration could largely be counted on to watch Israel’s back in the U.N. Security Council, where it succeeded for more than five years in blocking successive efforts by the Palestinians to gain more of the trappings of an independent state and to get the world body to formally censure Israeli settlement policies.
That changed after the stroke of midnight Sunday when, in the early minutes of Monday, July 28, the U.N. Security Council, with the backing of the United States, issued a formal “presidential statement” demanding that Israel and Hamas implement an “immediate and unconditional” cease-fire to end fighting that has left more than 1,000 Palestinians and 43 Israelis dead. The Palestinians say they will continue to seek Security Council support for a legally enforceable resolution demanding that Israel halt its military offensive in Gaza.
The latest U.N. diplomacy comes during a period of deepening tensions between the United States and Israel over the course of Israel’s military operation in Gaza, which Obama maintains needs to stop now, but which Netanyahu insists must be allowed to continue in order to destroy Hamas’s network of subterranean tunnels used for raids on Israel. “I understand that Israel can’t have a cease-fire in which they are not able to — that somehow the tunnels are never going to be dealt with. The tunnels have to be dealt with. We understand that; we’re working at that,” Secretary of State John Kerry told reporters in Paris on Saturday in a press conference with the foreign ministers of Turkey and Qatar. “By the same token, the Palestinians can’t have a cease-fire in which they think the status quo is going to stay and they’re not going to have the ability to be able to begin to live and breathe more freely and move within the crossings and begin to have goods and services that come in from outside.”

Obama a Disgrace To All Humanity Is Trying To Force Israel Into Committing Suicide
What Obama Just Did Could Prove He Is Trying To Force Israel Into Committing Suicide
America needs to look at the result of President Obama’s actions..
When international pressure starts to bear on this administration, their true motivation and agenda becomes all too clear. This phenomenon was on display late last week as Israel continued to drive into the Gaza Strip militarily in order to rid the territory of the scores of tunnels that Hamas had dug under Israeli schools and daycare centers, with the intention of murdering children. Thousands of rockets have been launched into Israel with the intention of killing Jewish civilians. Hamas infiltrators have been captured with tranquilizers and handcuffs confirming their desire to kidnap and kill as many Jews as possible, just as they did with the three teenage Israeli boys that started this whole episode.
So what does the Obama administration do when it looks like the Israeli military is being successful in disarming the terrorist organization Hamas? The President of the United States orders Secretary Kerry to draft a cease-fire proposal that directs Israel to stand down while ignoring the militarization of Gaza and the terrorist attempts to kill Jews. In short, the President of the United States, Israel’s biggest ally, tries to force Israel to commit suicide and lay down its arms in the face of overwhelming terrorist attacks.
Over the weekend, President Obama called the Israeli Prime Minister and demanded a cease-fire with Hamas in order to strengthen the Palestinian Authority. This is the same Palestinian leadership that orders its civilians to stay in homes the Israeli military forewarns will be destroyed, in order to provoke civilian casualties. Of course, Netanyahu refused as that would mean Hamas could rearm before Israel destroyed the tunnels that have been built under the border.
John Podhoretz in Commentary says it well:
“He (the president) has really crossed a—do I dare—red line here no other American leader ever has. Obama doesn’t like the pictures he’s seeing, he doesn’t like Bibi [Benjamin Netanyahu - Prime Minister of Israel], he doesn’t like the fact that even Israel’s liberals are in a belligerent frame of mind after weeks of missile attacks against population centers, he isn’t running for reelection, he doesn’t care about donors or Jewish voters, he believes in his heart of hearts that the root cause of regional instability is Israel’s gains in the 1967 war, and in service of all these feelings and beliefs, he’s decided Israel is in the wrong and that Hamas needs to be saved from Israel’s might. In which case, he is personally intervening against an American ally with a legitimately elected and deeply fractious coalition government on behalf of a terrorist organization.”
’ve said it many times before on these pages, America needs to look at the result of President Obama’s actions – or lack thereof. Along with the Islamic State in the Middle East, Iran going nuclear, Christians being slaughtered in Iraq, the Taliban on the move, he decides to protect terrorists rather than America’s strongest ally in the region. What does that tell you?

Hector Garza, a spokesperson for the National Border Patrol Council, told Uma Pemmaraju on America’s News HQ Saturday that the situation on the border is serious and we still have a wide open border.
“The border patrol agents are the United States’ first line of defense against these criminal organizations that are trying to get into our country. Now the situation continues. It is a very serious situation. Some people are calling it a humanitarian crisis. Some people call it a refugee situation. What we call it is a rapid abuse of our immigration system. The situation is still very critical and the border patrol is trying to do the best it can… The drug organizations and the drug cartels have the ability to adjust to our operations… It is still very serious.

Rahm Emanuel Wants Chicago To House 1000 More Illegal Aliens
Rahm Emanuel Wants Chicago To House 1000 More Illegal Aliens
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, a former Obama administration chief of staff, wants to expand the city’s efforts to house young illegal immigrants from Central America, reportedly proposing to shelter an additional 1,000 of them by year’s end.
“The influx of unaccompanied child migrants is a growing humanitarian crisis that we can no longer ignore,” said Emanuel, according to The Chicago Tribune. “While we have our own challenges at home, we cannot turn our backs on children that are fleeing dangerous conditions.”
The mayor’s office says the federal government will pay for the youths’ shelter, education, health care, food, safety and social services.
However, officials are trying to get Chicago lawyers to provide free legal services for the youths, who arrived in hopes of staying with U.S. relatives but now face federal deportation hearings.

Border Patrol agent, Obama has limited the amount of ammo that agents at the border can use for self-defense
As thousands of illegals, many of whom belong to MS-13 gangs and drug cartels, continue to pour into the country, the safety of American citizens is in danger.
Some who live in border states have already been experiencing upticks in crime, such as Texas ranchers who have had their homes broken into by criminals illegals.
Not only is the safety of the American people in danger from criminals, but also from illegals carrying a wide variety of diseases like scabies and tuberculosis, among many others.
Border Patrol agents, those brave men and women who have been tasked with securing the nation’s borders have had much of their time eaten up by processing and caring for these illegals, leaving the border open for others to cross over. On top of this, these agents have come under fire from drug cartels and in some cases, the Mexican military as well.
One would think that given the plethora of dangers Border Patrol faces, Obama would increase their ammunition and other supplies to help keep them safe. BizPacReview reported on an interview with retired Border Patrol agent Zack Taylor who said the president actually went the other direction and limited their ammo, making it difficult to practice and use their weapons for protection.
“The ammunition restriction is expected to last until the beginning of the 2015 fiscal year. That’s not until October of next year.”
“The Department of Homeland Security used to buy ammo for us by the boxcar. Now, ammo is being accounted for round-by-round.”

"They'll be back to the sea and this time Moses is not going to be here to open the sea," he declared. "They better learn how to swim."

Corrupt Democrat Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton: " You Don’t Have a Right to Know Everything’ Government Does"
Eleanor Holmes Norton, the non-voting congressional representative for the District of Columbia, angrily sputtered during a congressional hearing Friday that the White House should not be held up to scrutiny, saying that there was no right to know what it was doing behind closed doors.
“You don’t have a right to know everything in a separation-of-powers government, my friend. That is the difference between a parliamentary government and a separation-of-powers government,” Norton said during a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing.
It was, to put mildly, a significant departure from the more traditional liberal stance that openness and transparency are must to prevent abuses of power by government officials. Instead the leading advocate for statehood for the District of Columbia literally argued that even the congressional committee charged with oversight shouldn’t be asking questions in the first place
She made the comments while protesting the committee's Republican majority for voting to ignore a claim by the White House that David Simas, director of it's Office of Political Strategy and Outreach, was immune to a congressional subpoena to testify. Republicans believe the office is being used a political campaign operation, a violation of federal election law.
Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., noted he was not alleging any wrongdoing by Simas, but there was a history of violations involving that particular office in prior administrations that justified requesting his testimony.
Under President Obama, the White House has asserted sweeping executive powers, including the right to ignore pretty much all congressional inquiries. The administration has regularly ignored subpoenas from congressional committees.
Holmes was clearly down with that. She called Issa's subpoena a "showcase fishing expedition." She went on to argue that the Constitution's separation of powers specifically gives the people who work directly under the chief executive immunity from subpoenas. "The president's immediate advisor is not an agency and this is not a matter of policy," she said, before going to further clarify that we "don't have a right to know" everything that the administration does.
Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., top ranking Democrat on the Oversight Committee, thanked Holmes for her comments. "I associate myself with your comments," Cummings added, thus making it clear that he doesn't believe the public has right to know what is going on inside the White House either.
Wild Thing's comment..........
Screw you Norton and Cummings. We the people disagree.

Obama's Top White House political Adviser David Simas Again Refuses To Answer Congressional Subpoena, Claims “Immunity”
Obama's Top White House political Adviser David Simas Again Refuses To Answer Congressional Subpoena, Claims “Immunity”
Top White House political adviser David Simas refused again Friday to honor a congressional subpoena, prompting Republicans on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee to vote to rebuke the administration.
The Oversight and Government Reform Committee voted 19-14 to reject the White House’s claim that Simas has absolute immunity from a subpoena from Congress.
Republicans said they were standing up for the principle that no one is above the law, and Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Darrell Issa quoted a long list of Democrats, including Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California, who have backed Congress’ right to subpoena top administration officials.
Democrats, led by ranking member Elijah E. Cummings of Maryland, said they strongly disagree with the White House’s claim of absolute immunity but also strongly disagree with Issa’s push to press the issue, warning it could hurt the institution if they take a case to court.
The White House informed Issa at 7:30 a.m. Friday that Simas would not appear, Issa said. The absence was “not excused,” the California Republican added.
White House Counsel W. Neil Eggleston asked Issa to withdraw the subpoena to discuss his late Thursday offer for Simas to give a deposition instead of subpoenaed testimony.

This is TREASON!! Obama Considering Flying Immigrants From Honduras Straight To The U.S. So They Don’t Have To Sneak Over Border
Obama Considering Flying Immigrants From Honduras Straight To The U.S. So They Don’t Have To Sneak Over Border
Hoping to stem the recent surge of migrants at the Southwest border, the Obama administration is considering whether to allow hundreds of minors and young adults from Honduras into the United States without making the dangerous trek through Mexico, according to a draft of the proposal.
If approved, the plan would direct the government to screen thousands of children and youths in Honduras to see if they can enter the United States as refugees or on emergency humanitarian grounds. It would be the first American refugee effort in a nation reachable by land to the United States, the White House said, putting the violence in Honduras on the level of humanitarian emergencies in Haiti and Vietnam, where such programs have been conducted in the past amid war and major crises.
Critics of the plan were quick to pounce, saying it appeared to redefine the legal definition of a refugee and would only increase the flow of migration to the United States. Administration officials said they believed the plan could be enacted through executive action, without congressional approval, as long as it did not increase the total number of refugees coming into the country.
By moving decisions on refugee claims to Honduras, the plan aims to slow the rush of minors crossing into the United States illegally from El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala, which has overwhelmed the border this year. More than 45,000 unaccompanied minors from those three nations have arrived since Oct. 1, straining federal resources to the point that some agencies will exhaust their budgets by next month, the secretary of Homeland Security has said.

We need a Revolution.There are not enough swear words to describe how I feel about Obama.
This is treason. The criminal underworld is in charge . Honduras has the highest murder per capita rates in the world. They are a narco nation. Obama has repeatedly placed our nation at risk of terrorists he enables.

Cruz and Sessions: Congress Must Stop President's Planned Amnesty Orders
Obama’s plans to grant amnesty, asylum or possibly grant worker permits to illegal aliens to keep them in the US has got to be stopped. The few rebels within the republican party cannot get it done alone when Obama is constantly engaging in unilateral executive action. Sens Cruz, Sessions and those of like minds need reinforcements not only to stop Obama but to remove his political bodyguard, Harry Reid, from power.

Idiot John Kerry To Mother of Fallen Israeli Soldier: “How’s Your Day?”
Taking a break in Jerusalem today from his attempt to broker a cease-fire between Hamas and Israel, Secretary of State John Kerry visited with the parents of Max Steinberg, a 24-year-old Los Angeles native and IDF soldier who was killed in action in Gaza. [...]
“How’s your day?” Kerry asked as he sat down. “How’s your day?” Evie [Steinberg's mother] asked back. “My day’s going better than yours,” he said.

RICK PERRY: Illegals Behind 3,000 HOMICIDES & 8,000 SEXUAL ASSAULTS in TX Since ’08
Texas Governor Rick Perry went on Hannity last nightto discuss the illegal immigrant crisis at the US southern border.
Perry shared these shocking numbers on the current crisis.
“Sean, there have been over the course of the last five years, since the fall of ’08, over 203,000 individuals who have come into Texas illegally who have been booked into our county jails. Those individuals have accounted for over 3,000 homicides and over 8,000 sexual assaults. We can’t afford to wait for Washington to secure this border. We’ve had enough.”

Ted Cruz Slams Obama For Using FAA To Launch “Economic Boycott” Of Israel
Ted Cruz Slams Obama For Using FAA To Launch “Economic Boycott” Of Israel
he Federal Aviation Administration on Wednesday extended its prohibition on U.S. flights to Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion International Airport for up to an additional 24 hours, following the ban it announced Tuesday.
The FAA announcement drew immediate criticism from Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who said in statement, “President Obama has just used a federal regulatory agency to launch an economic boycott on Israel, in order to try to force our ally to comply with his foreign-policy demands.”
The agency said it is “working closely with the Government of Israel to review the significant new information they have provided and determine whether potential risks to U.S. civil aviation are mitigated so the agency can resolve concerns as quickly as possible.”
The FAA imposed its ban after a rocket landed about a mile from the airport Tuesday as intense fighting continued between Israel and Hamas.
Cruz said “no one wants to place civilian travelers in harm’s way,” especially in light of last week’s downing of a Malaysian Airlines plane over eastern Ukraine. But he asked whether the FAA’s announcement was in fact “a political decision driven by the White House.”
The Texas Republican, a potential contender for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination, said that tourism is an $11 billion industry for Israel.
“This FAA flight ban may well represent a crippling blow to a key economic sector [in Israel] through both security concerns and worries that additional bans will down more flights and strand more passengers,” Cruz said. “It hardly matters if or when the ban is lifted. At this point, the damage may already be done.”
He asked, “If the FAA’s decision was based on airline safety, why was Israel singled out, when flights are still permitted into Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Yemen?”

Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) to Congress: Back Ted Cruz or Remain 'Complicit' in 'Nullification of Border'
Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), the ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee and a key immigration hawk, took to the Senate floor on Monday afternoon to attack the efforts by President Barack Obama to grant amnesty via executive order to millions of illegal aliens.
During his floor speech, Sessions endorsed a bill from Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) that aims to curb the president’s executive amnesty efforts—and called on his colleagues to cosponsor it. Sessions said:
Senator Cruz has a bill that would stop this presidential overreach. Sessions said. It’s very simple. It lays out that we won’t spend money providing legal documents to people unlawfully in the country as defined by the law of America and as defined by the Congress of the United States. So, I will ask, will you cosponsor Senator Cruz’s bill and let’s defend our constituents, or will our congressional colleagues remain complicit in the nullification of our laws and basically the nullification of border enforcement?
Sessions’ fiery floor speech focused almost entirely on how Congress hasn’t done much—if anything—to fight back against President Obama’s executive overreaches when it comes to immigration law. He opened by citing the letter he hand-delivered to every member of Congress warning about Obama’s move to circumvent Congress and use executive power to grant amnesty to millions of America’s illegal aliens. Sessions also cited George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley, a liberal Obama supporter, who warned that Congress letting Obama use executive power in the way he has is not good for the country.
Sessions asked his U.S. Senate colleagues:
Does anybody not respect this institution? Do we not respect the House of Representatives, the United States Senate? Have we gotten so partisan that we don’t care what the president does to diminish Congress? Don’t we have an institutional responsibility, a Constitutional responsibility to defend the legitimate powers of Congress? Sure, we can disagree sometimes, but this one is not a matter of disagreement, it seems to me. This is an overreach of dramatic proportions.
Sessions also noted in his speech that the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) scored President Obama’s proposed $3.7 billion emergency funding plan via a supplemental appropriations bill and found that only $25 million of that request would actually be spent this year.
“This indicates clearly that the agencies are not in dire need of supplemental funding from this Congress, certainly not in the degree as asked for,” Sessions said. He continued:
Again, CBO’s analysis suggests that only $25 million of the $4.3 billion will be spent this year. What does that mean? It means we ought to slow down. We have no—there is no basis to demand a $4.3 billion increase in spending, emergency spending. Every dollar borrowed, because we’re already in debt; to spend $4 billion more is to borrow every penny of it. We should not do that until we find out more about what’s happening at our border.

ISIS Forces Iraq Shopkeepers to Put Veils on Mannequins Faces
ISIS has ordered shopkeepers in the Iraqi city of Mosul to cover the faces of mannequins, The Associated Press reported Tuesday.
The Sunni extremist group recently declared a caliphate – or Islamic State - covering parts of Syria and Iraq. Shop owners in Mosul said they had been told to cover the faces of male and female mannequins, apparently in line with strict interpretations of Shariah law that forbid statues or artwork depicting the human form.

Another Demorat for ILLEGAL (law breakers) Dem Rep. Joaquin Castro Accuses Gov. Perry of “Militarizing Our Border” By Deploying National Guard
Dem Rep. Joaquin Castro Accuses Gov. Perry of “Militarizing Our Border” By Deploying National Guard
Texas Rep. Joaquín Castro on Monday said Gov. Rick Perry’s is “militarizing our border” with his reported decision to deploy state National Guard troops there.
“We should be sending the Red Cross to the border not the National Guard to deal with this humanitarian crisis,” the Democratic congressman said in an email. “The children fleeing violence in Central America are seeking out border patrol agents. They are not trying to evade them. Why send soldiers to confront these kids?”
“Militarizing our border is the wrong response to the arrival of children,” Castro continued. “I remain hopeful that our state can provide a more helpful response than to send armed soldiers to greet children seeking refuge from violence.”
Castro was responding to a report from The Monitor that Perry is planning to deploy up to 1,000 Texas National Guard troops to the U.S.-Mexico border.
“At 2pm CDT today, Gov. Rick Perry will hold a press conference to discuss activating up to 1,000 National Guard troops to secure the Texas-Mexico border,” he wrote in a Facebook post on Monday.

Garbage and love life Dem Rep. Luis Gutierrez: We Need Amnesty To “Punish” Americans Opposed To Illegal Immigration
Luis Gutierrez to La Raza: Get Amnesty to 'Punish' Americans Against Illegal Immigration
Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) believes Hispanics should get amnesty and citizenship to punish Americans who are against illegal immigration. [...]
“We need to raise our voices, make ourselves citizens, sign up to vote and punish those who speak ill and criminalize children who come to our border,” Gutierrez reportedly said in Spanish this weekend.
After he told the La Raza conference in Los Angeles that President Barack Obama gave the Latino community a "down payment" with his temporary amnesty program that halted the deportations "of our people," Gutierrez urged Hispanics to seek retribution at the ballot box.
"We need to raise our voices, make ourselves citizens, sign up to vote and punish those who speak ill and criminalize children who come to our border," Gutierrez reportedly said in Spanish this weekend.
Gutierrez addressed the conference this weekend and also spoke on a panel. He said Obama assured him in a White House meeting last week with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus that he would use executive actions to be a "generous and broad" as he can to "stop the deportation of people each and every day," as Breitbart News reported.
Gutierrez has been one of the biggest proponents of a pathway to citizenship for all of the country's illegal immigrants.

INCREDIBLE VIDEO— MUST LISTEN ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO THE END… the video starts out with information most of us already know… but gradually provides more layers of information that may not be known. Interview covers the gamut of the illegal crisis situation with an in-depth analysis of the health threat to the crime threat and more from a border patrol perspective of what they are discovering.
Especially note the points made on Obama limiting access to ammo for the border guards and even denying ammo for shooting practice.
This is an interesting point considering Obama has no problem hoarding ammo for the Dept. of Education, Postal Service, TSA, Soc. Security and other bureaucracy arms of the Obama Administration.

Obama Sending $47 Million To Hamas-Run Gaza Strip
The U.S. is sending $47 million in humanitarian aid to the besieged Gaza Strip to help tens of thousands of Palestinians there who have been forced from their homes since war broke out two weeks ago.
A State Department breakdown of the aid that was released Monday said nearly a third of the money — $15 million — will go to the United Nations’ refugee mission in Gaza.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry was expected to discuss the aid with U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon in a meeting late Monday in Cairo.
Kerry arrived in the Egyptian capital only hours earlier in a U.S. push to help broker a truce between Israel and the militant group Hamas that controls Gaza.

Obama To Give Iran Another $2.8 Billion
Obama to Give Iran Another $2.8 Billion
The United States will give Iran access to another $2.8 billion over the next several months and appears to have conceded to Iran’s demand that it be permitted to domestically enrich uranium, the key component in a nuclear weapon, according to senior Obama administration officials.
In exchange for agreeing over the weekend to extend nuclear talks until late November, Iran will be given another $2.8 billion in unfrozen assets, the White House told reporters over the weekend, after President Barack Obama decided to extend the talks past their July 20 deadline.
The United States already returned to Iran $4.2 billion in unfrozen oil assetsduring the past six months of the interim nuclear deal and has now agreed to provide another $2.8 billion in exchange for an extension in the negotiations.
White House officials also appeared to admit that U.S. negotiators have told Tehran that they will allow it to preserve some of its domestic enrichment capabilities, something that Congress has opposed.

James Garner R.I.P Korean War Vet, Two Time Purple Heart Recipient and Legendary Actor and a Friend of Ours
James Garner, 5th Regimental Combat Team veteran dies at age 86
James Garner was also a veteran of the Korean War and two-time recipient of the Purple Heart. Garner’s first injury was to the face and hand from an enemy mortar round.
Always one for a good laugh, even on himself, Garner no doubt cracked a few jokes about his second injury from “friendly fire. “ Diving headfirst into a foxhole on April 23, 1951, the handsome Soldier was hit in the butt as rounds flew from a U.S. fighter jet overhead. It wasn’t until 32 years later that the government saw fit to award Garner the second Purple Heart.
Prior to being in the Army, James Garner was a Merchant Mariner, a job for which he was apparently very well suited, minus the part about not being able to overcome chronic seasickness. After leaving the Merchant Marines, he joined the National Guard, but after just seven months he was deployed to Korea as a Soldier in the Regular Army. He served with the 5th Regimental Combat Team a regiment of the United States Army infantry established in 1808 and continues to this day. The 2nd Battalion, 5th Infantry Regiment deployed in February 2014, to Herat Province, Afghanistan.
Best known to older fans as Bret Maverick in TV western series "Maverick" , James Garner entertained younger fans with his more recent big screen roles in "Victor/Victoria," "Space Cowboys" and "The Notebook." Somewhere in between, are dozens of episodes of “The Rockford Files” which, although officially ended in 1980, are still in syndication due to immense popularity.
In one of the true love stories in Hollywood, James Garner and Lois Clarke Garner were married in 1956 until his death yesterday. Although James Garner suffered a stroke in 2008 and was reportedly in poor health recently, news reports say he died of natural causes.

Gov. Perry To Send 1000 National Guard To The Border
Gov. Perry To Send 1000 National Guard To The Border
Texas Gov. Rick Perry is set to announce Monday that 1,000 U.S. National Guard troops will be deployed to the Rio Grande Valley, according to an internal memo detailing the plan obtained on Sunday.
State Sen. Juan “Chuy” Hinojosa, D-McAllen, confirmed that Perry is set to announce the deployment on Monday.
“Gov. Perry plans to hold a press conference tomorrow at 2 p.m. and he is calling up the National Guard to help out on the border,” Hinojosa said Sunday evening. “Of course, we are opposed to bringing up the National Guard. We do not need to militarize the border. These are families and children. We need to manage the situation.”
The National Guard troops will be deployed to the Valley to join the Texas Department of Public Safety in its recent surge to combat human smuggling and drug trafficking amid the influx of mostly Central Americans illegally crossing the Rio Grande.
“This is not a militarization of the border,” the memo states. “The DPS and the National Guard are working to keep any drug and human trafficking south of (U.S. Highway) 83 and with the goal of keeping any smuggling from entering major highways to transport East/West/and North.”
DPS officials want to send National Guard troops into western areas of the Valley and the ranch lands further north, according to the memo.
“Smuggling has supposedly according to DPS moved West on the border with an increase in Jim Hogg County,” the memo states. “DPS especially wants to apply the Guard in the rural areas to patrol.”
The National Guard deployment will cost up to $12 million per month, with $9.8 million of that personnel and vehicle costs and another $2.4 million estimated to cover the cost of helicopters.
“It would take a month to get 1,000 troops on the ground but they will only slowly call up the troops,” the memo states.
Activating the National Guard alongside DPS personnel will bring Texas’ total cost of deploying additional resources to the surge to $5 million per week.
“It is not clear where the money will come from in the budget,” the memo states, adding that Perry’s office has said the money will come from “non critical” areas, such as health care or transportation.

John Kerry Whines Fox News Won't Ever "Give Obama Admin Credit for Anything'
Secretary of State John Kerry and Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace had a tense exchange Sunday morning, even before the two got to Kerry's comments on an Israeli strike that were captured by Fox and played back to him.
Things got real heated after Wallace characterized the negotiations over Iran's nuclear deal as counterproductive. Kerry, who has been orchestrating the talks since even before he was Secretary, took particular umbrage at this, arguing that the Obama administration had achieved a rollback in Iran's nuclear development for the first time in a decade.
"I know you and others don't ever want to give the Obama administration credit for almost anything, but the fact is this is the first administration to get a rollback in those ten years," Kerry said. "Right now, Israel and the countries in the region and the world are safer."

Dr. Elaina George, an ear, nose, throat and chest specialist from Atlanta, told Charles Payne on FOX News today that the US could be facing a health crisis as the thousands of newly illegal children enter the classrooms this fall.
“There’s an example in Maryland, where parents got a letter from the school that there children had been exposed to an illegal child who had TB who was one of their classmates. So this fall it is potentially possible that these children entering the school systems could be carrying all sorts of things, diseases that are not on the radar.”

Armed Russian rebels fire warning shots at international inspectors at crash site as black box recorder said to be 'on its way' to Moscow
Russian rebels have stopped inspectors from investigating the MH17 crash site amid reports the black box record is ‘on its way to Moscow’.
Monitors from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) were prevented from conducting their investigation by militiamen during their first trip to the scene.
The separatists reportedly fired warning shots as the group of 30 officials approached, forcing them to leave after just 75 minutes.
The stand-off fueled speculation that rebels are beginning a ‘cover-up’ by hiding all links to the Buk missile believed to have shot down the plane.
Wild Thing's comment..........
Typical of Muslims.
I don’t see how it matters who gets the black boxes. It will indicate the plane was suddenly shot down. We know that. If they can identify exact weapon used (may already know that) and a way to tie it to a specific group then that would be useful. I might be wrong about this, but I guess I don't understand with this kind of thing.

Protests Held Across North Texas Against Housing Illegal Aliens
Protests Held Across North Texas Against Housing Illegal Aliens
North Texans unhappy about the border crisis are letting their voices be heard at protests Friday and Saturday.
Dozens of people gathered in downtown Dallas to protest Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins’ work to bring 2,000 undocumented immigrant children to the county for care, while protesters in Fort Worth took to the street in front of several government agencies on West 7th Street.
Those protests were among 10 planned in North Texas and hundreds being held across the country, as part of a nationwide response to the undocumented immigration surge and what opponents call immigration reform amnesty.
At the Dallas protest, people who support Judge Jenkins’ efforts came out to the same block to counter-protest. Supporters of the plan to take in the immigrant children said it’s our human responsibility to care for the children.
Jenkins released a statement in response to the demonstration.
“I am focused on working with our community, faith leaders and federal partners on helping traumatized children in crisis move from detention on the border to compassionate care here,” he said. “Leaders can empower grace and mercy or incite fear and anger, but it’s the community that responds. Dallas County residents have overwhelmingly chosen compassion.”
The protests — launched by Make Them Listen, Americans for Legal Immigration PAC and Overpasses for America — will continue Saturday.
FRIDAY
Dallas: 411 Elm St., 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Fort Worth: 501 W. 7th St., 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Obama a traitor, that is the bottom line. We have an enemy agent in the nations highest office.
Another time Obama left the White House to attend a fund raiser was during the Benghazi attack when he left our Ambassador and four servicemen to die.

Disgusting SCUM!
295 Killed (23 Americans) when Malaysian Air jetliner shot down in eastern Ukraine and Obama goes to more fundraisers
Obama’s lack of concern is especially evident now that it has been revealed that he attended two fundraisers in New York last night, despite the fact that there were reportedly 23 Americans on the Malaysian Airlines flight that was shot down,
This President doesn’t care though, and is perfectly content to party, fund raise, and campaign while Americans struggle, suffer, and die.
A narcissist has no empathy. They have to PRETEND to feel for others

Military Times Poll: Majority Want Bergdahl to Be Court-Martialed
Military Times Poll: Majority Want Bergdahl to Be Court-Martialed
A new online poll shows a large majority think released Taliban prisoner Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl — freed in a controversial swap in a controversial swap for five terror group leaders detained at Guantanamo — should be court-martialed.
The Military Times' poll this week asked readers what the military should do with Bergdahl now that he has finished his Amy-led reintegration process. Of the more than 4,400 people who responded, 60 percent selected the "court-martial him" option.
About 9 percent said the Army ought to "separate him immediately with a lesser discharge," some 8 percent said the Army should "separate him immediately with an honorable discharge," about 7 percent said "let him finish his current enlistment, then honorably discharge him;" and 15 percent were unsure of what the Army should do.
The Military Times said the poll was "unofficial" and offered no margin of error figures.
One reader thought the whole survey was premature.
"What an awful poll," the person wrote the newspaper. "How about we let the Army finish the investigation?"
The Army is looking into how Bergdahl, who disappeared from his outpost in Afghanistan in 2009, was captured by the Taliban. Since his release May 31, the soldier's former roommate, former Specialist Cody Full, has charged Bergdahl's inexplicable disappearance allegedly led to the deaths of troops who searched for him.
Bergdahl's lawyer, Eugene Fidell, who also represented Army Capt. James Yee, a Muslim Army chaplain at Guantanamo Bay cleared a decade ago of allegations he was part of a spy ring at the detention facility, told NBC's "Today" show Thursday Bergdahl is back on active duty in a desk job at a Texas base and "ready for the next chapter" of his life.
Wild Thing's comment............
It is insane to let him just go back to active duty as though nothing happened. IMO he is a danger to the rest of those who are serving our country, even if he is sitting at a desk.

Obama White House: We’re Not Going to Tell Where We’re Going to House Illegal Immigrants
Obama White House: We’re Not Going to Tell Where We’re Going to House Illegal Immigrants
The White House won’t reveal where it is housing thousands of Central American juvenile migrants because their privacy rights trump Americans’ right to know what‘s happening in their neighborhoods, press secretary Josh Earnest declared July 16.
“The public does have a right to know what’s happening… [but] at the same time, there are privacy rights that are included in the law that this administration is committed to enforcing and following,” Earnest told Ed Henry, Fox News’ White House correspondent.
“We are not surprised in the least to see the Obama administration imitate the smugglers,” William Gheen, founder of Americans for Legal Immigration PAC, told The Daily Caller. “This is how smuggling operations work, this is what the smuggler-in-chief wants — secret planes and secret buses full of illegal immigrants.”
GOP governors and legislators are also highlighting the administration’s secrecy. “They don’t want the public to know what is really going on,” Nebraska Republican Rep. Lee Terry told Fox News.

According to Obama the “privacy rights” of illegal immigrants trumps our right to know what the government is doing.
It gets more and more difficult to face the day to day lawlessness of Obama and his criminal cartel. It's sit down and shut up for those who are decent, honest, hardworking, tax paying citizens. Screw Obama.

Poll: Majority of Latinos Disapprove Of How Obama Is Handling Border Crisis
Poll: Majority of Latinos Disapprove Of How Obama Is Handling Border Crisis
A new Washington Post-ABC News poll finds widespread public disapproval of the way President Obama and Republicans in Congress are handling the influx of unaccompanied foreign children at the southern border as the two sides engage in a fierce debate over how to stem the crisis.
Nearly 6 out of 10 Americans are not happy with Obama’s performance in dealing with the tens of thousands of minors who have arrived from Central America in recent months, overwhelming Border Patrol stations. All told, 58 percent disapprove of his management on the issue, including 54 percent of Latinos.
The findings represent a political blow for a president who called immigration reform a top second-term priority when he was reelected two years ago with 71 percent support from Latino voters.

Charles Krauthammer: Harry Reid ‘Detached From Reality,’ Wonders If He’s On His Medication
Krauthammer speculated on Reid’s mental health on “Special Report with Bret Baier” Tuesday night.
The panel, including Baier and Fox News contributor Mara Liasson, was discussing the influx of illegal immigrants — mostly women and children — flooding over the southern border.
Liasson explained that President Obama has always said he “wanted the flexibility to treat kids from Central America the same as Mexico” but never explicitly asked Congress to change the Bush-era 2008 sex trafficking law.
“He wanted Congress to go first,” she said. “People in the base of the Democratic party don’t want this law changed, don’t want these kids sent home faster.”
Liasson brought up the large amount of Hondurans — 15 percent — who are in the U.S. illegally who can no longer cross the border into Mexico because border security is tighter.
“The number of Hondurans who are here, mostly illegally, who can’t go back and forth anymore, because the border actually is a little tighter, that’s also a magnet for these kids.”
That’s when Krauthammer pounced.
“When you get Harry Reid saying the border is secure.”
“Definitively,” Baier cut in.
“You’ve got to wonder, you know, whether he’s really on his medication or not.”
Krauthammer didn’t stop there.
“I mean that’s so detached from reality,” he declared. “How many [children] do we have now? 60,000 at least? And we’re completely helpless. And it’s the helplessness that I think is driving the president and the Democrats to accept” changing the law.

Sen. Jeff Sessions Warns All of Congress: Obama's New Immigration Strategy 'Threatens Foundation of Our Constitutional Republic'
Senate Budget Committee ranking member Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) has warned all of his colleagues in Congress that President Barack Obama’s new immigration strategy—his plans to legalize millions of illegal alien adults through executive power—could destroy America as we know it.
“I write to inform you of a development that threatens the foundation of our constitutional Republic,” Sessions, Congress’s top immigration hawk, wrote in a letter that was hand-delivered to all 535 members of Congress on Monday and provided exclusively to Breitbart News.
Sessions cites a recent report from the National Journal, in which reporter Major Garrett detailed how, despite the ongoing crisis at the border, Obama plans to legalize anywhere from five to six million illegal alien adults in much the same way he did for illegal alien minors through the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) in summer 2012.
“Obama made it clear he would press his executive powers to the limit,” Garrett wrote on July 3, as cited by Sessions. “He gave quiet credence to recommendations from La Raza and other immigration groups that between 5 million to 6 million adult illegal immigrants could be spared deportation under a similar form of deferred adjudication he ordered for the so-called Dreamers in June 2012.”
Sessions cites another paragraph from that National Journal piece as well, in which Garrett reported that President Obama has “now ordered the Homeland Security and Justice departments to find executive authorities that could enlarge that non-prosecutorial umbrella by a factor of 10.”
“Senior officials also tell me Obama wants to see what he can do with executive power to provide temporary legal status to undocumented adults,” Garrett wrote. “And he will shift Immigration Control and Enforcement resources from the interior to the border to reduce deportations of those already here and to beef up defenses along the border.”
Sessions, whose office hand-delivered the letter to every member of Congress Monday, wrote that this development from the Obama administration is “breathtaking.” The letter continued:
The action the President is reportedly contemplating would be a nullification of the Immigration and National Act by the Executive Branch of government. Indeed, it would be an executive nullification of our borders as an enforceable national boundary. By declaring whole classes of illegal immigrants beyond the reach of the law, it would remove the moral authority needed to enforce any immigration law, creating the very open-borders policy explicitly rejected by Congress and the people. And it would guarantee that the current illegal immigration disaster would only further worsen and destabilize.
Sessions’ letter to colleagues comes as some in both Republican and Democratic circles consider various plans they say would fix the problem of the border crisis. Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), John McCain (R-AZ), and Chuck Schumer (D-NY) are reportedly working together to develop a broad comprehensive immigration legislative strategy similar to their “Gang of Eight” bill last year.
House GOP leadership is mulling a plan that would appropriate billions of dollars to the administration for use because of the crisis, packaged together with a version of the border bill offered by House Homeland Security Committee chairman Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX). All those plans come as President Obama has asked Congress for $3.7 billion in new funding for use in dealing with the illegal aliens here. House Judiciary Committee chairman Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) suggested in an op-ed at Breitbart News the president doesn’t need any more money.
But Sessions argues that all of this bickering in Washington is a facade that doesn’t address the real problem. To really fix the issue, he argues, politicians need to be willing to enforce immigration laws in America and stop dealing with special interests who want the border to remain unsecured and seek continually high levels of immigration, legal or illegal, given how it benefits them in the form of cheap labor.
“As you know, over the last five and a half years, the President has routinely bypassed Congress in order to suspend enforcement of our immigration laws,” Sessions wrote. “The most dramatic of these lawless directives was the President’s 2012 Deferred Action Program for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), in which the president implemented by executive fiat legislation that Congress has three times rejected.”
Sessions wrote that the president’s DACA program “has led to catastrophic results,” because it was “declaring to the entire world that America will not enforce its immigration laws against those who enter the country as minors” and that the U.S. will “freely grant them access to work permits and taxpayer resources.” Sessions wrote that Obama’s DACA policy and other policies “unleashed a flood of new illegal immigration into the country” and that this is “the disaster that he created.” As such, Sessions argues that politicians should not just pass new legislation or throw money at the problem; they should work to reverse the president’s executive overreaches.
Sessions told his colleagues that “there is a clear path forward” from this problem in order to “prevent the continued dissolution of America’s borders.”

Eric Holder Says DOJ Will Fight Any State Ban On Gay Marriage
Holder Says DOJ Will Fight Any State Ban On Gay Marriage
The Justice Department will file a brief arguing the Supreme Court should prevent states from banning same-sex marriage, Attorney General Eric Holder said Sunday.
Holder said in an interview with ABC News that if the high court agrees to hear any of the legal challenges to state bans on gay marriage, the Obama administration will argue such laws are unconstitutional. Last week, officials in Utah said they would ask the Supreme Court to review a lower court ruling enabling gay marriage in the state.
The attorney general said such an action would be ”consistent with the actions that we have taken over the past couple of years.”
Under Holder, the Justice Department refused to defend the Defense of Marriage Act, which prohibits federal spousal benefits for same-sex couples. The Supreme Court last year gutted a key provision of that law, holding that the federal government should not define marriage exclusively as heterosexual unions.
Holder said that decision “vindicated” the administration’s strategy not to defend the law. He also said he was confident that the Supreme Court would agree that bans on gay marriage were unconstitutional.
Wild Thing's comment..........
So the US Department of Justice has nothing better to do than spend all of their time pimping sexual deviancy.

Israel Attacked On Four Fronts On Same Day For First Time Ever: Sinai, Lebanon, Syria, Gaza
Israel Attacked On Four Fronts On Same Day For First Time Ever: Sinai, Lebanon, Syria, Gaza
Also Monday, rockets were fired at Israel from southern Lebanon, reported Reuters, drawing retaliatory artillery fire from Israeli forces, Lebanese security officials and the Israeli army said, in the third such rocket attack from Lebanon since Friday.
An Israeli police spokeswoman said there was no immediate word of damage or casualties from the rocket fire. There was no immediate claim of responsibility.
A rocket fired from Syria hit an open area on the Israeli side of the Golan Heights on Monday afternoon, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Spokesperson Unit confirmed in a statement.
The statement said according to initial reports, the launching was “deliberate.” It is still not clear who is responsible for the attack, the Walla news website reported.
A Hamas drone capable of carrying weapons was shot down Monday with a Patriot missile along the southern Israeli coast.
“It was shot to smithereens,” Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, a spokesman for the Israeli Army, told reporters Monday.
Israeli officials said it was the first time Hamas militants had launched a drone since fighting escalated last week.
Israel reported that its so-called Iron Dome defense system intercepted several rockets fired from Gaza, including one Monday evening over Tel Aviv.

Iran Celebrates Hamas Using Their Rockets To Attack Israeli Civilians
Iran Celebrates Hamas Using Their Rockets To Attack Israeli Civilians
Iranian military leaders on Monday celebrated Hamas’ use of advanced long-range rockets that were supplied to the terror group by the Iranian regime.
Iran’s role in arming Hamas militants with more sophisticated artillery capable of reaching deep into Israel has fueled concerns among lawmakers that U.S. negotiators are not doing enough to address Iran’s support for terror during ongoing nuclear discussions.
Israeli and United Nations officials have confirmed that Hamas is firing rockets on civilians provided to it by Iran.
A Senior Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) general praised Hamas’ rocket attacks on Monday and warned that between Hamas and other Iranian-backed terror groups, “all Zionists are within the range of the resistance’s missiles.”
“The defense capacity and capabilities of the Islamic resistance and Hamas forces has left no safe place for the Zionists in the occupied territories,” General Ramezan Sharif, head of the IRGC’s public relations department, said in public remarks Monday.

Lowe's employees come to the rescue of disabled vet with broken wheelchair
Lowe’s Employees Come To The Rescue Of Disabled Vet With Broken Wheelchair
Staten Island.
In 1971, I stepped on a land mine in Vietnam and lost both legs above the knee.
For the past two years, I have been waiting to receive a new wheelchair from the Veterans Administration. In addition, I have been told that I am not entitled to a spare wheelchair.
On the evening of July 7, my wheelchair fell apart again, while shopping at Lowe’s Home Improvement Center in on Forest Avenue in Mariners Harbor.
Three employees, David, Marcus and Souleyman jumped to my assistance immediately. They placed me in another chair while they went to work.
They took the wheelchair apart and replaced the broken parts and told me, “We’re going to make this chair like new.”
I left 45 minutes after closing hours in my wheelchair that was like new.
I kept thanking them and all they could say was, “It was our honor.”
The actions of these three employees at Lowe’s showed me there are some who still believe in stepping to the plate.
They didn’t ask any questions, didn’t feel the need to fill out any forms or make phone calls. Someone needed help and they felt privileged to be given the opportunity.

Border Patrol Agent Comes Down With Bacterial Pneumonia, Will Have Lifelong Complications
Border Patrol Agent Comes Down With Bacterial Pneumonia, Will Have Lifelong Complications
A Border Patrol agent from the Laredo, Texas, Sector has been hospitalized for seven days with bacterial pneumonia, which the agent contracted while processing illegal immigrants, officials from National Border Patrol Council 2455 tell National Review Online.
Agent Jarrad Seely, vice president of NBPC 2455, says the agent is expected to have chronic asthmatic symptoms for life, according to information relayed by the agent. The illness has so swollen the agent’s throat that it’s difficult for the agent to speak, Seely says.
“It’s a very traumatic experience for [the agent] and [the agent’s] family,” he says. “[The agent’s] got small children.” He says that it’s too soon to tell if the agent will be able to make a full recovery and return to work, and says the agent was healthy prior to processing the immigrants.
“Our agents have been getting sick more often than before with flus and congestion and a whole bunch of respiratory illnesses,” says Hector Garza, the secretary and treasurer of NBPC 2455. “The processing room was severely overcrowded and that just made [it] the perfect breeding ground for these diseases.” Garza says he and other Border Patrol officials have had to communicate indirectly with the agent, via the family, because of the agent’s inability to speak.
Seely says the Laredo Sector has recently had illegal immigrants arrive with active cases of tuberculosis, scabies, lice and chicken pox.
Wild Thing's comment............
This kind of thing is going to happen a lot and not only to the Border Patrol but to many others that come in contact with the illegals.
And letting people with diseases we have gotten rid of for the most part - such as deadly tuberculosis, is just plain STUPID.

Chicago Inner City Blacks GO OFF on Obama Over Illegal Immigration “Worst President Ever”
Rebel Pundit interviewed the community this week about Barack Obama’s open border policies and his spending on the illegal immigrant community. Let’s just say – they are NOT HAPPY.
One resident even says, “Barack Obama will go down as the worst president ever.”
The Chicago resident says:
“With the president setting aside all these funds for immigrants and forsaken African-American community and African-American families, I think that’s a disgrace. And Barack is from the heart of 55th in the City of Chicago… He will probably go down as the worst president ever elected. Bill Clinton was the African-American president.“

Newborns Receive Contraception ID Cards in the Mail Under Obamacare Mandate/Law (Obama's America)
Newborns Receive Contraception ID Cards in the Mail Under Obamacare Mandate/Law
I got an email the other day from one of our listeners in Lubbock, Texas. He’s pretty fired up because his health care provider sent his daughter a contraceptive ID card. According to the insurance company, the card happens to be an Obamacare mandate.
Now it’s bad enough they would send something like this to a child without parental consent — but what really makes this story salacious — is that my reader’s daughter is only three months old.
Apparently, the insurance company wants to make sure the three month old has options after a sordid affair at daycare.
“Attached is your Contraceptive Coverage Plan ID Card,” the insurance company’s letter read. “The new federal preventive health services law requires that group health plans provide women contraceptive services to female members of all ages without imposing any cost-sharing and at no cost to you.”
At first my reader just laughed it off – thinking it was a mistake – but then he found out it was the law.
Sure enough – a letter from the insurance company stipulates that every female – no matter her age receives a contraceptive cover card and that means even three month old babies.
“It’s frustrating and sickening,” my reader told me. “It bothers me that this company takes it upon themselves to send this out to people’s young children without even contacting us.”
That’s right – moms and dads are not allowed to opt out of the contraceptive ID card. My reader said he is disgusted.
“I don’t even want to think about my little girl having a boyfriend and especially not having sex,” he told me. “I’d like to enjoy her innocence. But now, it’s forced upon her mother and I thanks to Obamacare.”
Welcome to President Obama’s fundamentally transformed America, folks.

‘I,’ ‘Me,’ ‘My’—Obama Uses First Person Singular 199 Times in Speech Vowing Unilateral Action
‘I,’ ‘Me,’ ‘My’—Obama Uses First Person Singular 199 Times in Speech Vowing Unilateral Action
Not counting instances when he quoted a letter from a citizen or cited dialogue from a movie, President Barack Obama used the first person singular--including the pronouns "I" and "me" and the adjective "my"--199 times in a speech he delivered Thursday vowing to use unilateral executive action to achieve his policy goals that Congress would not enact through the normal, constitutional legislative process.
“It is lonely, me just doing stuff,” Obama said at the speech in Austin, Texas, according to the official transcript and video posted on the White House website.
“I’m just telling the truth now,” Obama told the crowd. “I don't have to run for office again, so I can just let her rip. And I want to assure you, I’m really not that partisan of a guy.”
To prove this, Obama went on to say Abraham Lincoln was his favorite president, and then gave a list of what he called “great Republican presidents”—which included Richard Nixon.
“My favorite president is the first Republican president, a guy named Abraham Lincoln,” Obama said. “You look at our history, and we had great Republican presidents who--like Teddy Roosevelt started the National Park System, and Dwight Eisenhower built the Interstate Highway System, and Richard Nixon started the EPA.”
The White House presented Obama’s speech, which the president delivered at Austin’s Paramount Theatre, as “Remarks by the President on the Economy.” The remarks, the White House reports, ran 40 minutes, and the full transcript (including annotations for “laughter” and “applause”) is more than 5,500 words.
By contrast, President Abraham Lincoln’s Gettyburg Address was only 272 words--and did not include any form of the first person singular.
In President Obama’s speech, he used a first person singular, on average, every 12 seconds. At that rate, had Obama spoken for just 15 more minutes, he would have used the first person singular more than 272 times in one speech—exceeding all the words in the Gettysburg Address.
In one 68-word passage--in which he vowed to act unilaterally if Congress did not enact legislation he liked--Obama used the first person singular five more times than the zero times Lincoln used it in his 272 words at Gettysburg.
“I can't stand by with partisan gridlock that's the result of cynical political games that threaten the hard work of millions of Americans,” said Obama. “I’m not just going to stand by and say, okay, that's--I guess that's the way it is. Whenever and wherever I have the power, the legal authority to help families like yours, even if Congress is not doing anything, I will take that opportunity.”

Obama and his disdain for our military: troops get pink slips in combat
Obama and his disdain for our military: troops get pink slips in combat
by Lieutenant Colonel Allen West
There is stupid and then there is simply absurd. The Obama administration is sending pink slips to troops while they’re serving in a war zone.
I remember being a young captain returning home after Operation Desert Shield/Storm and the decision was made to conduct a RIF (Reduction in Force). Officers were given a choice to voluntarily separate, which many did, or be involuntarily separated, based on performance reviews. But this decision came after the combat operation had ceased.
Leave it to the Obama administration to do something so amazingly dumb it takes your breath away.
According to the New York Post, “In a stunning display of callousness, the Defense Department has announced that thousands of soldiers — many serving as commanding officers in Afghanistan — will be notified in the coming weeks that their service to the country is no longer needed. Last week, more than 1,100 Army captains — the men and women who know best how to fight this enemy because they have experienced multiple deployments — were told they’ll be retired from the Army.”
Let’s just review what’s going in the world right now, shall we?
* Islamic State (IS -the terror artists formerly known as ISIS) is creating a caliphate in the heart of the Middle East.
*Israel is locked in combat with Hamas.
* Iran is marching towards regional hegemony and nuclear capability.
* Russia is seeking to expand its domain.
*China is threatening our allies in the Pacific Rim.
This is the time the Obama administration has decided to send pink slips to our combat warriors while they are serving in a combat zone? Simply brilliant! But then again, deserters (i.e. Bowe Bergdahl) are heroic and serve with distinction according to National Security Advisor and Obama lapdog Susan Rice — so who needs these men and women of honor, integrity and character who faithfully stand guard upon freedom’s rampart?
I’m also perplexed why we don’t want to retain these hard-charging combat veterans, leaders, commanders — but we need $3.7 billion to promote a PR campaign in central America and accommodate tens of thousands of illegal immigrants — oops, I mean refugees — into America.
So once again I must ask, whose side is Obama on?
The Post says, “the overall news is not unexpected. The Army has ended its major operations in Iraq and is winding down in Afghanistan. Budget cuts are projected to shrink the Army from its current 520,000 troops to 440,000, the smallest size since before World War II. What is astonishing is that the Defense Department thought it would be appropriate to notify deployed soldiers — men and women risking their lives daily in combat zones — that they’ll be laid off after their current deployment.”
Does this mean these men and women can be redeployed from the combat zone in order to get on with their lives? We can’t fire a union-supported Veterans Administration supervisor who lied and created a “death list” for our nation’s heroes — but the Obama administration can fire our nation’s heroes while they serve in harm’s way? Yeah, some Commander-in-Chief we have, huh America?
As one Army wife posted on MilitaryFamily.org, “On some level I knew the drawdowns were inevitable, but I guess I never expected to be simultaneously worried about a deployment to Afghanistan and a pink slip because my husband’s service is no longer needed.”
The Post reports that a senior Defense Department official warned: “If the force is smaller, there’s less margin for error. Let’s face it — things are pretty uncertain out there.” Commenting on the extraordinarily large number of captains being retired, Army Vice Chief of Staff Gen. John Campbell said: “In other times, they’d probably continue to stay in the Army. But these are not normal times.”
No sir, these are not normal times — these are perilous times and the last thing we should be doing is reducing our force capability to pre-World War II levels. And shame on our uniformed leaders for sitting on their hands and not standing up to defend our young men and women in uniform.
The Obama administration shows its true colors and how it feels about our men and women in uniform nearly every day. But just think about this simple juxtaposition: a Rose Garden ceremony for the parents of Army PFC Bowe Bergdahl, and the abject dismissal of concern in the case of Marine SGT Andrew Tahmooressi locked in a Mexican jail.
Former U.S. Army Capt. Jonathan Hendershott (West Point, 2007), who wrote the New York Post piece, served in Iraq with the 101st Airborne Division and as a company commander in Ft. Hood, Texas. He concludes by saying, “None of our soldiers has ever asked for our gratitude — they never really expected it. But they did expect to be able to finish the job they trained to do. Sending pink slips to commanders still serving in a combat zone is wrong. They deserve so much better than this.”
The current U.S. Army motto is “Army Strong” – but not if the Obama administration has anything to do with it.

Good!!!! House Wouldn’t Approve Obama’s Request For $3.7 Billion For Illegal Aliens
House Wouldn’t Approve Obama’s Request For $3.7 Billion For Illegal Aliens
Obama’s $3.7 billion emergency request for the border crisis is too big and the House won’t approve it, the chairman of the House committee that controls spending said Friday.
“It’s too much money. We don’t need it,” Appropriations Committee Chairman Hal Rogers, (R-Ky.), told reporters.
“There are pieces of it that need to be dealt with immediately and that’s what we’re working on,” Rogers said, but when asked whether the House would approve the spending package as-is, he said “no.”
Rogers’ comments to reporters underscore the challenges ahead as Obama pushes Congress to approve the money to deal with tens of thousands of unaccompanied minors showing up at the U.S. border with Mexico. Many are fleeing gang violence in Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala, and are drawn by rumors that once here they could stay.
Wild Thing's comment.........
Good for them they did the right thing. They should not approve any of it. If they really want to be strong they should say NO to anything that is NOT following our existing laws for immigration.

U.S. Muslims Most Approving of Obama, Mormons Least
U.S. Muslims Most Approving of Obama, Mormons Least
Barack Obama’s approval rating is higher among Muslims than any other religious group, a new poll says.
According to a Gallup poll released Friday that tracked responses for the first six months of 2014, 72 percent of Muslims said they approve of the president, compared with just 20 percent who disapprove.
Mormons were the least approving religious group, with 18 percent of Mormons approving and 78 percent disapproving of the president. Mormons in the past have ranked as the most conservative major religious group in the U.S.
The survey underscores a religious divide when it comes to presidential approval — Obama is more popular among non-Christians and less popular among Christians.
Catholics, on the other hand, have only a 44 percent approval rating of Obama, compared with 51 percent disapproval. Protestants and other Christians are more critical, with 37 percent approving and 58 percent disapproving.
Wild Thing's comment.............
Since IMO Obama is a Muslim it would figure his own approves of him. He favors them above anyone else.

Connecticut Obamacare Glitch Drops Thousands Of People From Coverage
Connecticut Obamacare Glitch Drops Thousands Of People From Coverage
Thousands of Connecticut Obamacare customers are facing coverage uncertainty after computer glitches estimated incorrect subsidies or randomly dropped them from their health plans without warning — even though they’d paid premiums.
About 3,900 customers of Access Health CT, the state-run Obamacare exchange that has been one of the more successful health care marketplaces thus far, were incorrectly told they qualified for Medicaid due to a computer glitch, The Hartford Courant reports. Other customers received bills from their insurance companies that displayed a different amount than they’d agreed to on the exchange website – and at least 903 customers were unceremoniously kicked off their coverage without warning.
The problems were caused by faulty 834 insurer forms, which caused significant problems at the federal exchange website HealthCare.gov as well. The forms detail the amount of premium tax credits customers qualify for. The “system error” in the 834 forms was discovered on July 1, CEO Kevin Counihan said after state Republicans inquired about customer complaints over dropped coverage.
Some of the customers received paperwork and made premium payments, but have somehow lost their coverage anyway, WTNH reports. Others were told to wait for further paperwork to fill out before their health plans could be activated, but never received the extra forms.

Second Federal Judge Orders IRS To Explain “Lost” Lerner Emails Under Oath
Second Federal Judge Orders IRS To Explain “Lost” Lerner Emails Under Oath
A second federal judge has now ordered the IRS to explain under oath how the agency lost emails from former division director Lois Lerner, the woman at the heart of the Tea Party targeting scandal.
U.S. District Court Judge Reggie Walton told Obama administration lawyers on Friday he wants to see an affidavit explaining what happened with Lerner’s hard drive. The IRS claims her computer suffered a crash in 2011 that wiped her email records at the time clean.
But at a hearing examining a lawsuit against the IRS by conservative group True the Vote, Walton said he wants to know what happened to Lerner’s hard drive, which allegedly was recycled. He asked for an affidavit from those involved in handling the crashed drive.
The order is another boost for those questioning the agency’s claims that many Lerner emails from that time period are not recoverable.
A day earlier, in a separate case brought by conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch, U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan gave the tax agency 30 days to file a declaration by an “appropriate official” to address the computer issues involving Lerner.
Wild Thing's comment...........
I don't think Obama cares how many judges demand things of him. And I think Lerner is the same way. There is such a tremendous arrogance with these people.

On Monday, Mexican President Nieto and Guatemalan President Molina Made Agreement to Make it Easier for illegals journey to the USA from Central America, to cross into Mexico
Deal to send more illegal aliens to the U.S.
On Monday, Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto and Guatemalan president Otto Perez Molina held a joint press conference in Playas de Catazaja, Mexico, to officially announce an agreement to make it easier for those making the illegal journey to the United States from Central America, to cross into Mexico.
The Southern Border Program to Improve Passage, will provide for more border checkpoints along Mexico’s border with Guatemala, and offer more protection and even emergency medical care to those making their way north. The illegal aliens will receive a so-called Regional Visitor’s Card, according to El Universal.
Officially, the program will grant the cards to only illegal aliens from Guatemala and Belize, allowing them to remain in Mexico’s southern states for 72 hours (more than enough time to reach the U.S./Mexican border by train). While, those two countries share a border with Mexico, the program will undoubtedly benefit anyone who makes it to the border, which would explain why our Border Patrol stations are currently overflowing with illegal aliens from El Salvador and Honduras as well.
The program will also give special protection and even financial assistance to unaccompanied minors now pouring across our border. Of course, these efforts, chiefly by the Mexican government, will only increase the number of illegal aliens coming to this country by the thousands, now on a daily basis.
The official announcement only confirms what many of us have known all along…the current chaos on the border which the Obama administration has sympathetically (and dishonestly) characterized as a “humanitarian crisis,” only exists due to collusion between the governments of Mexico, Guatemala and likely the United States.

WoW! Democrat Sen. Chuck Schumer to Religious Americans: Pick One--Your Faith or Your Business
At a press conference Thursday, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said people with religious beliefs who disagree with the ObamaCare contraception mandate can choose their faith or “you don’t have to form a corporation.”
“You’re born with a religion or you adopt a religion. You have to obey the precepts of that religion and the government gives you a wide penumbra – you don’t have to form a corporation,” Schumer said.
Schumer claims the Supreme Court’s decision that closely-held firms have a right to deny coverage for certain types of birth control they find objectionable under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) was “misapplied.”

Rep. Jim Bridenstine Wants “Unfettered Access” To Fort Sill Facility Holding Minors
Rep. Jim Bridenstine Wants “Unfettered Access” To Fort Sill Facility Holding Minors
Now HHS has offered a "tour" of the unaccompanied alien children facility at Ft. Sill. These are the rules:
1. No pictures.
3. No questions.
2. No talking to the staff.
3. No talking to the children.
4. If you want pictures, HHS will provide them.
Rep. Jim Bridenstine said Monday that he wants “unfettered access” to the Fort Sill facility housing unaccompanied alien children, and he criticized the media tour scheduled for Thursday at the U.S. Army post in southwestern Oklahoma.
Bridenstine, R-Tulsa, who was denied access to the facility when he arrived last week without an appointment, has been offered a tour on Saturday. He sent a letter to an official with the Department of Health and Human Services saying he’d accept the tour but that he planned to make recurring visits.
He wrote in his letter, to Sonja Nesbitt, a deputy assistant secretary, that it was “unacceptable that a representative of the people be limited to pre-planned, showcase visits to a facility so critical to the well-being of children. Just as foster parents in the State of Oklahoma are subject to unannounced visits by the Oklahoma Department of Human Services, federal representatives of the people should be able to access UAC facilities at times of their choosing.”
In an interview, Bridenstine said he wasn’t seeking a confrontation at the Fort Sill facility, but he insisted that he be allowed to see what is happening.
“If they want a confrontation, they can create one,” he said.
Fort Sill is one of three U.S. military bases being used for temporary housing as unaccompanied minors from central America stream across the border in ever-increasing numbers.

Lois Lerner Warned Colleagues In 2013 to Hide Information from Congress
Lois Lerner Warned Colleagues In 2013 to Hide Information from Congress
A newly released email from former IRS employee Lois G. Lerner, sent just as the tea party targeting scandal was erupting, warned colleagues to “be cautious” about what information they put in emails because it could be turned over to Congress.
“I was cautioning folks about email and how we have had several occasions where Congress ask asked for emails and there has been an electronic search for responsive emails — so we need to be cautious about what we say in emails,” Ms. Lerner wrote in an April 9, 2013, message.
The message came less than two weeks after the IRS’s internal auditor shared a draft report with the agency accusing it of targeting tea party and conservative groups. A month after the email, Ms. Lerner would plant a question at a conference to reveal the scandal, just before the inspector general’s report was made public.
The email was turned over to the House oversight committee last week, more than a year after lawmakers sought it as part of their investigation into the IRS targeting.
Republicans said the email shows Ms. Lerner was aware Congress was probing the agency and that she was preparing to intentionally hide agency discussions from lawmakers.
Ms. Lerner’s emails have become a major scandal in and of themselves after the IRS revealed that her computer hard drive crashed in 2011, causing the agency to lose thousands of her messages.

Houston woman rants, “Why can’t they go back?”
Houston woman asks, “Why can’t they go back?”
This woman is not alone and voices the same frustration we all feel while watching this lawless Administration.
Bernadette Lancelin is very upset that the unaccompanied minors flooding across the border aren't being sent back home. Instead they are being put in detention centers around the country. Lancelin is out with the local news in Houston because a closed middle school that hasn't been used in years is now on the list to become another detention center. And she, among others, is furious about it. It's not right. Now billions of dollars want to be borrowed from the White House to help feed and house them.
What about the kids here? In our neighborhood? In our country? Not just in this neighborhood but in our country.
All these kids? Really? Why can't they go back?
I'm sorry that their parents are in poor living conditions or surroundings or whatever's going on out there. I don't care.
I care about what's going on right here in my own back yard, my neighborhood.
Am i the only one in this community that's out here that watches the news this morning. Oh, my god! I feel alone right now this this, and I'm very saddened by it.

Feds to Bring in Riot Squad Against Illegal Immigration Protesters
Feds to Bring in Riot Squad Against Illegal Immigration Protesters
As illegal immigrants continue to spill across the U.S.-Mexico border, federal authorities are attempting to relocate the migrants from South Texas to housing facilities in states across the nation. One such facility is located in Murrieta, California, where a large group of protesters recently blocked a bus full of migrants from arriving. The protesters remain there, adamant that illegal immigrants don't get dumped in their town. But soon the concerned citizens may be forced to step down--Breitbart Texas has learned that federal agents plan to arrive in Murrieta on Monday with riot gear to ensure that another busload makes it to the housing facility.
Jeremy Oliver, a resident of Temecula, California--a town that neighbors Murrieta--told Breitbart Texas that local police officers warned the protesters that "it's going to get ugly."
Oliver said, "The feds are pissed that they haven't been able to use this facility. Officers out there warned people that federal agents will be in Murrieta on Monday--they are going to get the next bus through no matter what. Riot gear and shields will be used to push the crowd back."
John Henry, a Murrieta resident since 1991, was told the same thing by local officers.
"We're being told that federal Marshals or ICE will be here in the next few days and that they are bringing riot gear," Henry said. "They're apparently going to be blocking off the street with concrete blockades so that no vehicles can get through. The River County Sheriff's Department showed up last night and brought a huge watch tower that shoots up into the air 35 feet."
On Friday, six protesters were arrested in Murrieta. One was apprehended for crossing "the yellow tape that blocked protesters from the Border Patrol station entrance," according to USA Today.
Henry expressed frustration at the fact that the illegal immigrants are being "rewarded" for breaking the law--after illegally crossing the border, they receive a slew of taxpayer subsidized benefits like housing, food, education, vocational training, and legal counsel. Most are then released onto U.S. soil.
When U.S. citizens break the law, on the other hand, they pay the price. "If any one of us were to roll through a stop sign, we'd be pulled over and ticketed," Henry noted.

Rick Perry Refuses Obama’s Offer To Shake His Hand When He Lands In Texas
Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) won’t be on hand to greet President Barack Obama when Air Force One lands in Austin on Wednesday.
The governor’s office says the White House extended an invitation to Perry to meet Obama on the tarmac when he arrives for Democratic fundraisers in Dallas and Austin. However, Perry refused the offer, asking instead to meet with Obama in private to discuss the high number of unaccompanied children arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border in recent months.
“I appreciate the offer to greet you at Austin-Bergstrom Airport, but a quick handshake on the tarmac will not allow for a thoughtful discussion regarding the humanitarian and national security crises enveloping the Rio Grande Valley in South Texas,” Perry wrote Monday in a letter to the president. “I would instead offer to meet with you at any time during your visit to Texas for a substantive meeting to discuss this critical issue.”
The Texas governor has been a vocal critic of the president’s handling of the situation at the border, repeatedly suggesting that the administration is “in on this somehow.”

On June 18, 2010, Arizona Republican Senator Jon Kyl told the audience at a North Phoenix Tea Party town hall meeting that during a private, one-on-one meeting with President Obama in the Oval Office, the President told him, regarding securing the southern border with Mexico, “The problem is, . . . if we secure the border, then you all won’t have any reason to support ‘comprehensive immigration reform.’” [Audible gasps were heard throughout the audience.] Sen. Kyl continued, “In other words, they’re holding it hostage. They don’t want to secure the border unless and until it is combined with ‘comprehensive immigration reform.’”
Sen. Kyl also said he reminded President Obama that the President and the Congress has an obligation, a duty, to secure the border.

Costco Pulling Copies Of Dinesh D’Souza’s New Book From All Its Stores
Costco co-founder Jim Sinegal is a big Obama supporter who spoke at the Democratic National Convention in 2012 where he formally endorsed him.
Costco Wholesale, the second-largest retailer in the United States, has apparently decided to remove all copies of Dinesh D’Souza’s bestselling book, “America: Imagine a World Without Her,” from its stores nationwide, WND reports. The decision to yank the book, if true, would coincide with the theatrical release of D’Souza’s new film of the same name last week.
Scott Losse, an inventory control specialist in the book department at the Costco Wholesale’s Issaquah, Washington, corporate office, reportedly confirmed that a nationwide “pull-order” was issued for D’Souza’s book. All copies are now reportedly required to be removed by July 15.

Stolen flag that flew over 9/11 rubble returned to New York home
An American flag that was flown over the World Trade Center ruins after 9/11 and was stolen last week from the front porch of the family of a fallen firefighter has been returned with an apology note.
The flag was returned to Melissa Brengel’s home on New York’s Long Island Thursday with a note that read, “I am so sorry, I had no idea,” an NBC affiliate reported.
The family believes the flag was stolen last Monday or early Tuesday.
“We put it out during certain times of the year just to remember,” Ms. Brengel said of the flag, which was given to her by the September 11th Families Association after it had flown over the World Trade Center ruins, she told the station.
Ms. Brengel’s brother, Jonathan Ielpi, was 29 when he died at the World Trade Center in 2001.
“I don’t think there’s a way [the thief] could have known, but at the same time, they’re coming onto my property and taking something that means so much to me and so many Americans,” Ms. Brengel told the station. “It hurts me and all of them that somebody could do something like this.”

Gov. Rick Perry Clashes Stands up to Liberal ABC's Martha Raddatz on Illegal Immigration
Texas Governor Rick Perry appeared on ABC’s This Week with George Stephanopoulos and clashed with guest host Martha Raddatz.
During the interview Raddatz repeatedly interrupted the Republican governor and defended Barack Obama’s reckless and dangerous open border policies.
Rick Perry was not deterred.
RADDATZ: — of the Customs and Border Patrol say he is confident they have enough resources on the border. They’ve added…
PERRY: He is…
RADDATZ: — people.
PERRY: — he is absolutely and totally wrong. For one thing, there is a Border Patrol agent — I should say, 15 Border Patrol agents per mile from El Paso to California. In Texas, that number is seven Border Patrol agents totally per mile. So the idea that there’s equity and there’s enough Border Patrol agents is totally and absolutely…
RADDATZ: But — but…
PERRY: — incorrect.
RADDATZ: — but Governor, this — this is about a law. This isn’t necessarily about Border Patrol. This is about a law. You heard in Jim Avila’s piece, they have to let these people into the country when they’re from non-contiguous nations, when they’re from Central America or South America.
Should that law be changed?
PERRY: The rule of law is that “The Constitution” requires the United States to secure the border. And we’re not doing that. We haven’t done it for years. And we are paying a huge price.
When you have catch and release policies that send…
RADDATZ: But — but, Governor, please…
PERRY: — a message to people…
RADDATZ: — go back to the law…
PERRY: — in Central America…
RADDATZ: — the 2008 law that was signed into law by George Bush.
Isn’t this is a backlog in the courts?
Doesn’t that have to be addressed first?
PERRY: What has to be addressed is the security of the border. You know that. I know that. The president of the United States knows that. I don’t believe he particularly cares whether or not the border of the United States is — is secure.
And that’s the reason there’s been this lack of effort, this lack of focus, this lack of resources…
RADDATZ: He’s telling people not to come.
PERRY: — and…
RADDATZ: He’s telling them in ads not to come into the United States, not to leave their homes.
PERRY: About — about five years too late would be my response to that. The president has sent powerful messages time after time…
RADDATZ: But, Governor, you’ve made — I — I want to go back to an interview you did on Fox News. You re— you recently made some pretty serious allegations against the federal government.
Let’s — let’s listen to what you said to Fox News.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
PERRY: The federal government is just absolutely failing. We either have an incredibly inept administration, or they’re in on this somehow or another. I mean I hate to be conspiratorial, but I mean how do you move that many people from Central America across Mexico and then into the United States without there being a fairly coordinated effort?
(END VIDEO CLIP)
RADDATZ: Governor, do you really believe there’s some sort of conspiracy to get people into the United States by the federal government, by the Obama administration?
PERRY: When I have — when I have written a letter that is dated May of 2012, and I have yet to have a response from this administration, I will tell you they either are inept or don’t care, and that is my position.
We have been bringing to the attention of President Obama and his administration since 2010, he received a letter from me on the tarmac. He sends — I have to believe that when you do not respond in any way, that you are either inept, or you have some ulterior motive of which you are functioning from.
So the issue is, this president understands now that we have a huge problem on our southern border. We have to deal with it. And I don’t think you’re going to be able to address it until you put the resources there, and that’s boots on the ground. We’re asking for the FAA to allow for drones to be used.
Unless we secure our southern border, this is going to continue to be a massive amount of individuals that are coming to the United States. And, frankly, we don’t have a place to house them as it is. And if we have a major event, a hurricane that comes in to the Gulf Coast, I don’t have a place to be housing people who are displaced.
RADDATZ: OK, governor, I’m going to have to stop you there.
PERRY: This administration is housing them.
RADDATZ: I’m going to have to stop you there.

School Board President Rips Michelle Obama Over Her Lunch Mandate: “Last Time I Checked She Was Elected By No One"
School Board President Rips Michelle Obama Over Her Lunch Mandate: “Last Time I Checked She Was Elected By No One”
MUSKEGO, Wis. – There’s growing heartburn over federal school lunch regulations and now school board members are lashing out at First Lady Michelle Obama, the champion of the program overhaul.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports:
“We believe that proper food nutrition and meal portion guidelines are best decided at a local level,” said Rick Petfalski, School Board president for the Muskego-Norway School District.
Opting out of the program means Muskego-Norway will no longer receive federal money for its meals, but it also means the district is free to serve whatever it wants. [...]
Under the school lunch program regulations, Petfalski said, the district’s food service was projected to be headed toward a $54,000 deficit. By opting out — and presumably selling more food — he expects about a $7,100 surplus.
“By leaving the program we will not be required to follow these onerous guidelines, pushed by and large by Michelle Obama, who last I checked has been elected by no one,” Petfalski said
Meanwhile, Waterford Graded superintendent Christopher Joch told the paper, “There was a lot of waste.”
He added, “The food ended up in the garbage instead of the kids’ mouths.”
The chorus of complaints is only likely to increase as the feds up their regulations by cutting sugary and fatty snacks, effective July 1.

Rep. Jim Bridenstine, R-Okla., was denied access Thursday to the Department of Health and Human Services facility at Fort Sill, Okla., which houses more than 1,100 illegal immigrant children.

Taxpayer Dollars Helping Illegals Move To Their New Homes In The U.S.
Taxpayer Dollars Helping Illegals Move To Their New Homes In The U.S.
The vast majority of 50,000 unaccompanied youths and children who have illegally crossed the Texas border during the last few months have been successfully delivered by federal agencies to their relatives living in the United States, according to a New York Times article.
A second New York Times article report revealed that officials have caught an additional 240,000 Central American migrants since April, and are transporting many of them to their destinations throughout the United States.
The 290,000 illegals — so far — are exploiting legal loopholes that allow them to get temporary permits to stay in the United States.
Experts say that President Barack Obama’s administration has failed to close the loopholes and is unlikely to deport more than a small percentage of the illegals, despite the high unemployment rates among American Latino, African-American and white youths, and the strapped budgets of many cities and towns.
The president’s policy has caused protests by frightened citizens in towns such as Murrieta. But Obama’s allies — such as La Raza, an ethnic lobby for Latinos — are eager to escalate the conflict and to paint the protestors as racists. Those protests may escalate before the November elections.

Pro-Illegals Crowd Burns American Flag at Murrieta on 4th of July
Pro-Amnesty Crowd Burns American Flag at Murrieta on 4th of July
MURRIETA -- An American flag has reportedly been burned by pro-amnesty protesters near the Murrieta Border Patrol station on America’s Independence Day.
Breitbart News obtained a photograph, which shows a burnt flag on the ground, from an anti-illegal immigration activist who was monitoring the pro-amnesty demonstration.
Opponents of illegal immigration had gathered in Murrieta to stop Friday's planned transfer of Central American illegal aliens, as they did earlier this week. A pro-amnesty counter-demonstration was organized in response.
The illegal aliens, many of them unaccompanied children, are being brought from overcrowded Texas detention facilities for processing in California.
In addition, Breitbart News obtained photographs of torn-up flags that pro-amnesty demonstrators had impaled on a fence.
Bonnie Lewis, an anti-immigration activist, told Breitbart News that she saw one of the pro-amnesty activists dragging an American flag on the ground.
"I said: 'Hey, don't do that.' He said: 'That's where it belongs,'" she said.
Another anti-illegal immigration activist said that pro-amnesty demonstrators called her a "f***ing whore" i Spanish, and shouted, "F*** America!"

Happy Independence Day!
Happy Independence Day! John Adams Cries, “Let Me have a Country – a FREE Country!”
Here is powerful video from the exceptional John Adams series, in which John Adams makes his impassioned plea for freedom before the Continental Congress in 1776. After the brief speech, there is the reading of the Declaration of Independence the Congress passed, which we celebrate today! The words are amazingly profound and powerful, and provide a clarion call we need to return to as Americans today. Happy Independence Day!

Calif. student defies school, speaks of Christian faith in graduation speech
Calif. student defies school, speaks of Christian faith in graduation speech
Brook Hamby, this year's class salutatorian at California's Brawley Union High School, asserted his First Amendment right to freedom of expression and spoke of his Christian faith, despite having his speech denied three times by the school.
"In coming before you today, I presented three drafts of my speech, all of them denied on account of my desire to share with you my personal thoughts and inspiration to you: my Christian faith," he said.
"In life, you will be told, 'No,'" he added. "In life you will be told to do things that you have no desire to do. In life, you will be asked to do things that violate your conscience and desire to do what is right."
The speech caused murmurs and whispers from the crowd, but he continued: "No man or woman has ever truly succeeded or been fulfilled on the account of living for others and not standing on what they knew in their heart was right or good."
He quoted from the Bible, a book he called "the biggest best-selling book of all-time in history."
According to the Post, Hamby quoted Matthew 5:13, which reads: "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot."
Hamby, The Blaze added, has had a stellar high school career, having become a mock-trial star, a cross-country runner and a U.S. Senate page. Judging from the comments at the Desert Star, Hamby's speech and courage were well received.
"I believe his speech was awesome and unbelievably inspiring to all the students, faculty, and family alike. Your faith is unbreakable," one person wrote. "God bless you for your strength and courage to stand up for our love and faith in our ONE TRUE GOD."
The Christian Post said Hamby is just one of many Christian honorees who have been censored by their schools.
Last June, for example, 18-year-old Roy Costner IV ripped up his school-approved speech and recited the Lord's Prayer in defiance of his school's policy change regarding prayer.
Kaitlin Nootbaar, the 2012 valedictorian at her Oklahoma school, was denied her diploma after using the word "hell" in her speech.
"Her quote was, 'When she first started school she wanted to be a nurse, then a veterinarian, and now that she was getting closer to graduation, people would ask her, what do you want to do, and she said, 'How the hell do I know? I've changed my mind so many times,'" her father told Fox News.
One Christian student was allegedly denied admission to the Community College of Baltimore County's Radiation Therapy Program for his religious beliefs, the American Center for Law and Justice recently said.

Rick Perry: Cut Off Foreign Aid to To Mexico and Central American Countries Until the Flood of Illegals Stops
Texas Governor Rick Perry invites Obama to come to the border during his stop in Texas next week
Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) on Wednesday endorsed cutting off foreign aid to Mexico and other Central American countries until they help stanch the flood of child migrants crossing the border illegally.
Perry said the most important thing is to have the humanitarian crisis stymied and to secure the border.
A number of House Republicans, led by Rep. Randy Weber (R-Texas), on Tuesday introduced a proposal to do just that, titled the Illegal Entry Accountability Act.
More than 52,000 unaccompanied minors — mostly from Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras — have been detained on the U.S. border after entering through Mexico, mainly through the Rio Grande Valley into Texas.
Perry: "I would suggest the diplomatic reach with foreign aid to the leaders of those countries, And basically say, 'you will engage in stopping this traffic coming up through your country, and if you don't, this foreign aid is going to stop.' That is a boycott I could support."

Temper Tantrum Throwing Obama Obama Taunts GOP on His Unilateral Executive Overreach Says " Sue Me!"
Flailing, Petulant Obama Taunts GOP on His Unilateral Executive Overreach: “So Sue Me!”
Yesterday Obama literally taunting Republicans to do something about his clearly unconstitutional overreaches when it comes to Executive Orders. He created the humanitarian crisis on the border with his open borders approach to immigration. But now he tries to blame the GOP for refusing to pass his amnesty, open borders legislation. He is threatening to act on his own if the GOP House does not do his bidding. He mocked the GOP saying, “So sue me.”
“So sue me?” He’s an embarrassment to the nation. No President should ever sound like this. It is unbecoming of the office.

Thousands Of Illegal Aliens Being Released And Shipped Anywhere They Want To Go In U.S. On Tax Payers Money
National Border Patrol Council Local 2455 spokesman, Hector Garza Discusses the crowded Laredo, Texas bus station and why it is full of illegal immigrants.
Laredo, Texas Bus Station
Thousands Of Illegal Aliens Being Released And Shipped Anywhere They Want To Go In U.S. On Tax Payers Money
LAREDO, Texas–A glimpse into the reality of the thousands of illegal immigrants being released into the U.S. by the Obama Administration was captured on video in a Greyhound Bus station in Laredo, Texas this weekend.
The illegal immigrants who cross as incomplete family units simply enter the U.S. illegally, turn themselves in to U.S. Border Patrol agents, are processed, and then are released with a notice to appear at a future date for court proceedings. U.S. taxpayers then fund bus tickets for the illegal immigrants to go to the U.S. city of their choosing. Approximately 95 percent of the illegal immigrants never return as promised for court proceedings, according to Hector Garza, a Border Patrol agent and spokesperson for the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) Local 2455.
“The majority of these people crossed the border illegally and were then dropped off here at the bus station, so they could continue to their final destination, and that destination is an American city near you,” said Garza. “This right here is border insecurity at its best. Our border is not patrolled, it’s not being secured… our federal government is releasing thousands and thousands of illegal aliens into our communities.”

Poll: 71% Think IRS Destroyed E-mails To Hide Guilt, 2-In-3 Want Agents Jailed
Poll: 71% Think IRS Destroyed E-mails To Hide Guilt, 2-In-3 Want Agents Jailed
Most voters think it’s likely the IRS deliberately destroyed e-mails about its investigations of Tea Party and other conservative groups to hide its criminal behavior. Two-out-of-three now believe IRS employees involved in these investigations should be jailed or fired, and most suspect the agency of targeting other political opponents of the Obama administration.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 53% of Likely U.S. Voters believe that the Internal Revenue Service broke the law when it targeted Tea Party and other conservative groups. That’s up from 49% earlier this year and back to the level seen last September. Little changed from the early surveys are the 22% who think the IRS did not break the law. Slightly more (25%) are not sure.

Millions Who Signed Up For Obamacare May Lose Coverage Because Of Widespread Data Flaws
Millions Who Signed Up For Obamacare May Lose Coverage Because Of Widespread Data Flaws
The Obama administration is struggling to resolve health insurance data discrepancies that could jeopardize coverage for millions, according to a watchdog report on the still-rocky implementation of ObamaCare.
Though the system’s troubles have faded from the headlines since the problem-plagued launch last October, a report from the inspector general of the Health and Human Services department provided the first independent look at widespread problems the government is having effectively fact-checking the information applicants are putting in the system when seeking insurance and subsidies.
According to the report, the administration was unable to resolve 2.6 million so-called “inconsistencies” out of a total of 2.9 million such problems from October through December, 2013.
The government needs to determine applicants’ eligibility in order to verify they can enroll and, in some cases, get government subsidies. Without that step, coverage could be jeopardized. And according to the report, those running the federal marketplace are having trouble resolving problems “even if applicants submitted appropriate documentation.”
“The Federal marketplace was generally incapable of resolving most inconsistencies,” the report said, claiming the government could not resolve 89 percent of the problems.

White House Press Sec: Obama Not Worried About GOP Response To Executive Orders
White House Press Sec: Obama Not Worried About GOP Response To Executive Orders
The Obama administration is not too concerned about possible Republican responses to its unilateral administrative actions on immigration.
According to Earnest, due to House Republicans’ inaction on immigration reform, Obama “was left with no other option for trying to address what is a very serious problem.”
“So the president is going to charge ahead and he has indicated on a number of occasion that he’s willing to work with Congress where ever he can, but if Congress is not going to do anything, the president is not just going to sit around twiddling his thumbs he’s actually going to move forward with executive action and try to solve some problems,” Earnest said. “That’s after all why he ran for this office, that’s why the American people elected him to this office.”

Israeli Defense Minister on Hamas Killing of Three Israeli Teens: “We Will Eradicate Hamas” – Video
"They were kidnapped and murdered in cold blood by animals," Haaretz quoted Netanyahu saying at a hastily arranged security cabinet meeting. "In the name of the whole of Israel, I ask to tell the dear families - to the mothers, the fathers, the grandmothers and the grandfathers, the brothers and sisters - our hearts are bleeding, the whole nation is crying with them."
Israeli Defense Minister on Hamas Killing of Three Israeli Teens: “We Will Eradicate Hamas” – Video 6/30/14
Israel’s Deputy Defense Minister responded to the killing of three Israeli Teenage boys (one American) by Hamas Terrorists by saying,”We will eradicate Hamas. We will not stop until Hamas is completely destroyed.”
JERUSALEM -- The Israeli military found the bodies of three missing teenagers on Monday, just over two weeks after they were abducted in the West Bank, allegedly by Hamas militants. The grisly discovery culminated a feverish search that led to Israel's largest ground operation in the Palestinian territory in nearly a decade and raised fears of renewed fighting with Hamas.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed tough action. "Hamas is responsible, and Hamas will pay," he said in a statement, adding the teenagers "were kidnapped and murdered in cold blood by human animals."
Eyal Yifrah, 19, Gilad Shaar, 16, and Naftali Fraenkel, a 16-year-old with dual Israeli-American citizenship, disappeared while hitchhiking home near the West Bank city of Hebron late at night on June 12 and were never heard from again. Despite the dangers, hitchhiking is common among Israelis traveling in and out of Jewish settlements in the West Bank. The teens had been studying at Jewish seminaries in the West Bank.

Massive Explosion As Israel Strikes Gaza, IAF Hits 12 Terrorist Targets
The witnesses said the houses of Marwan Kawasmeh and Amar Abu-Eisha in Hevron were blown up, in what a human rights group said was the first punitive demolition since Israel halted the practice in 2005.
Kawasmeh and Abu-Eisha were identified by Israel last week as the two terrorists who kidnapped Eyal Yifrah, Gilad Sha’ar and Naftali Frenkel, whose bodies were discovered earlier on Monday.
Both Kawasmeh and Abu-Eisha have been arrested numerous times and are well known Hamas terrorists in the Hevron area.

General Motors recalls another 7.6 million vehicles over safety issues
General Motors recalls another 7.6 million vehicles over safety issues
General Motors (GM) on Monday announced six new recalls covering 7.55 million vehicles in the U.S., as the automaker continues to address safety issues.
After calling back 2.6 million compact cars for a defective ignition switch, GM has unveiled a slew of additional recalls in recent months. The company now expects to take a second-quarter charge of $1.2 billion, up from a previous estimate of $700 million.
GM’s latest batch of recalls ranges from model-years 1997 to 2014. The company said it is aware of seven crashes, eight injuries and three fatalities. The fatal crashes are connected to the largest recall, which covers 6.8 million older model full-size sedans for inadvertent ignition key rotation.
That recall includes the 1997-2005 Chevrolet Malibu, 1998-2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue, 1999-2004 Oldsmobile Alero, 1999-2005 Pontiac Grand Am, 2004-08 Pontiac Grand Prix and 2000-05 Chevrolet Impala and Monte Carlo.
GM is also recalling 554,328 Cadillac CTS sedans from 2003-2014 and Cadillac SRX sport-utility vehicles from 2004-2006 for unintended key rotation. Drivers should remove all items from their key rings until repairs are made, the company said.
A possible electrical short in the driver’s door module needs to be addressed in 181,984 vehicles, including Buick Rainier, Chevrolet TrailBlazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7x SUVs from model-years 2005-07. The Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL from 2006 are also included.
The final three recalls cover older model pickup trucks and other vehicles for several different issues. The six recalls affect a combined total of about 8.45 million vehicles in North America.
GM has said its spate of recalls this year is a result of quickening the pace of safety reviews, hoping to assuage concerns over the quality of its vehicles. The move followed the automaker’s ignition-switch recall, which has attracted scrutiny for a years-long delay in addressing the issue.
“We undertook what I believe is the most comprehensive safety review in the history of our company because nothing is more important than the safety of our customers,” chief executive Mary Barra said in a statement. “Our customers deserve more than we delivered in these vehicles. That has hardened my resolve to set a new industry standard for vehicle safety, quality and excellence.”
Barra added that GM will continue to identify outstanding issues that could impact the safety of its customers.
Also on Monday, arbitrator Kenneth Feinberg unveiled his compensation program for accident victims connected to GM’s ignition-switch recall, which has been connected to 13 deaths. Feinberg said the fund is uncapped and open to victims who were involved in accidents before and after GM’s bankruptcy.
The faulty ignition switches can inadvertently cause keys to turn out of the “run” position, thereby shutting off the engine and cutting power to air bags.
GM recently announced a recall of 3.16 million vehicles for a separate ignition issue. Dealers will provide affected owners with new or reworked keys. The ignition-switch recall from February calls for dealers to replace the ignition switch and cylinder.

They sure have had a lot of recalls.
