ILLEGAL ALIENS HAVE THEIR OWN LOBBY! - IS CONGRESS FAVORING THEM OVER AMERICAN CITIZENS?

AP Enterprise: States' immigration efforts fizzle

MIAMI – Nearly every state in the union tried to tackle immigration on its own this year in the absence of any congressional movement on the matter, and more than half considered Arizona-style enforcement measures, up from just six in 2010.
But an Associated Press review found that in legislature after legislature, nearly all the most punitive measures failed.
What had passed as of Monday mostly reinforced current federal law, though a small number of states actually passed legislation that was helpful to illegal immigrants.

Anti-terror law clears hurdle, faces objections

By LAURIE KELLMAN, Associated Press Laurie Kellman, Associated Press – 1 hr 20 mins ago

WASHINGTON – A tight deadline looming, the Senate on Monday advanced a four-year extension of the Patriot Act, the controversial law that governs the search for terrorists on American soil.
Lawmakers voted 74-8 to debate and vote the legislation this week, before key provisions expire on Friday. President Barack Obama was in Europe, so any extension must pass the House and Senate, then be flown overseas and signed into law before the three provisions expire.
That would require uncommon speed for the deliberative Senate, where one member can delay or block legislation. And there were opponents: Senators of both parties said the law, designed after the September 2001 terrorist attacks, would give the government too much power.

Pawlenty Roasts Obama in Official 2012 Announcement Vid: ‘Time for Truth’

Republican Tim Pawlenty offered a sneak peak Sunday at his presidential kickoff, blasting out an Internet video in which he promises a campaign that “tells the American people the truth” and suggests that President Barack Obama doesn’t.
In the new video, the former Minnesota governor formally declares he’s running for president, something aides said he’d do in person Monday morning during a town hall forum in Iowa. Pawlenty bypassed a launch in his home state to make his inaugural appearance as a candidate in the state that holds the leadoff caucuses, which he acknowledges he must fare well in to preserve his hopes of the GOP nomination.

Pakistan has asked China to build a naval base at its south-western port of Gwadar and expects the Chinese navy to maintain a regular presence there, a plan likely to alarm both India and the US.
“We have asked our Chinese brothers to please build a naval base at Gwadar,” Chaudhary Ahmed Mukhtar, Pakistan’s defence minister, told the Financial Times, confirming that the request was conveyed to China during a visit last week by Yusuf Raza Gilani, Pakistan’s prime minister.

Taliban raid triggers Pakistan shockwave

The brazen attack on a Pakistani naval air base has sent shockwaves through the nuclear-armed country, raising concerns about the military’s ability to protect sophisticated weaponry .
The ease with which six Taliban militants stormed the PNS Mehran base in Karachi, close to the city’s busy commercial airport, and destroyed two newly US-supplied P-3C Orion maritime surveillance aircraft has unnerved Pakistan’s military establishment.

More FT videoThe militants held off security forces for more than 16 hours, killed 12 naval personnel and injured 14. Their primary objective appeared to be some of the military’s most sophisticated electronic warfare equipment, as they wiped out Pakistan’s anti-submarine warfare capability in a single stroke.

Discovery of Another Mass Grave in Mexico Brings Questions of Law Enforcement Failings

By Julie Banderas

Published May 23, 2011

In what has become a string of mass graves discovered in Mexico, law enforcement authorities there have uncovered one of the most gruesome yet.

Eighty-nine bodies were found buried in a vacant auto repair lot in Durango, Mexico. Since April, a total of seven mass graves have been found in the city of almost 600,000, and 308 bodies have been recovered so far.

All the graves have been located in middle-class neighborhoods near schools. Officials say the mass graves probably hold the corpses of executed gang rivals or possibly kidnap victims and even some police. Some of the corpses have been in the ground less than six months, while others have been there for as long as 4 years.

The latest burial site raises question of how residents or authorities could have no knowledge of the graves.

"Something must have failed, maybe intelligence wasn't correct or enough because if we had in place a perfectly designed strategy, situations like those that have occurred, and that have caused so much pain and suffering, would not have happened," said Juan Rosales, the deputy secretary of Durango's Public Safety Department.

Supreme Court Rules California Must Free Tens of Thousands of Inmates

Published May 23, 2011

A sharply divided Supreme Court Monday affirmed a controversial prisoner reduction plan forced on California prison administrators that requires the state to reduce its inmate population by tens-of-thousands to ease overcrowding.

The 5-4 decision authored by Justice Anthony Kennedy, a California native, is a wholesale acceptance of a ruling by a special three-judge panel tasked with resolving chronic overcrowding in the state's penal system. The February 2009 decision orders California to reduce its prison population that has at times run nearly double its capacity. Approximately 37,000 to 46,000 inmates will have to be released in order for the state to comply with the ruling.

WILL EGYPT''S PRESIDENT BE ANTI-ISRAEL OR ANTI-ISRAEL?

With Egypt's September elections not far off, its people are wondering who their next President will be? Will he be the Arab world's version of George Washington or will he be an Egyptian version of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Grand Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini? The latter man who was known for saying things, "Those who are trying to bring corruption and destruction to our country in the name of democracy will be oppressed." A brief analysis of who have actually declared they are opting for the throne of Pharaoh will answer the question.

Pawlenty's in: We've tried Obama's way and 'his way has failed'

Excerpt: Tim Pawlenty on Monday officially announced his candidacy for president, insisting he would “tell the truth” about the serious problems facing the country in a way he said President Obama has not. Pawlenty, the former Minnesota governor, traveled to the first caucus state of Iowa to make his announcement at a town-hall event with his wife, Mary. He made the simplest of introductions, something he will have to do again and again, given that he is arguably the least known of the candidates officially in the running for the GOP nomination.

Democrats, RINOs Reject Essential Spending Cuts, Imperil U.S.

ALERT: Democrats and the Republican Establishment BETRAY and imperil America with their relentless campaign to irresponsibly raise the national debt ceiling! They rejected the Conservative Congress' promised $100 billion spending cuts, including the $61 billion in budget reductions passed by the House. Passing instead the Socialism-compliant and absurdly bloated counteroffer of the sham 2011 Budget "Deal" designed to fool the voters by preventing the scary sham Federal government shutdown was a BETRAYAL of America in crisis. The $105.5 billion in ObamaCare start-up funds STILL continue flowing as our nation faces Constitutional disarray and bankruptcy! I say, SUPPORT and STRENGTHEN Reps.

OBAMA - PURPOSEFUL OR OMISSION?

From Pajamas Media. Rubin Reports.
Lies. All Lies. The man is a pathological liar and is using it to aid his muslim buddies.
There is a small detail at the end of Obama’s big Middle East speech that everyone has overlooked up until now but which shows how inept this administration is at understanding the IsraelI-Palestinian issue and why it continually makes Israel mistrustful.
In doing his balancing act on Israeli and Palestinian fears and hostility, he says this:

OBAMA'S IMMIGRATION DEPT SET TO UNLEASH 'MUSLIM TSUNAMI' ON AMERICA

The Muslims Are Coming!!, The Muslims Are Coming!! -- PBS in Tandem with the State Department Smears Shelbyville to Advance Al Hijra (Muslim Immigration)

By Pamela Geller

For years I have been writing about the refugee resettlement program here: Refugee Resettlement: The quiet Jihad tsunami that is wreaking havoc on "gateway cities" like Lewiston, Maine; Shelbyville, Tennessee; St. Cloud, Minnesota; Clarkston, Georgia; and Jamestown, North Dakota. (here)
More deeply disturbing is the UN decides who gets refugee status. I have recounted the subsequent sometimes violent repercussions of these "religious" communities attempting to advance Islamic supremacism by targeting gays and hurling stones at them, trying to impose Muslim prayer on the public schools, imposing sharia law on these workplaces in America (go here and here and here and here and here and here)....

Is Nevada CD2 the next NY23?

On May 20, 2011, in House Races, by Eric Odom

Back in 2009 a special election for New York’s 23rd Congressional District created major problems for Republicans, resulting in a loss to Democrats that should have never happened. In that special election county (party) chairs selected the nominee, leaving party voters out of the process.
As a result, leftist Republican Dede Scozzafava got the nod from party bosses and became the official Republican candidate to face Democrat Bill Owens in the general special election. The problem, however, is that many activists and voters in the party supported the real Republican candidate, Doug Hoffman.
Doug Hoffman then decided to run as a third party candidate under the conservative party. The patriot movement sent millions of dollars into Hoffman’s corner and a three way political war unfolded on the national stage.

SENATOR DEMINT - DO YOUR JOB!

Submitted by: Debbie Warren

LETTER TO SENATOR DEMINT DEMANDING HE DOES THE JOB HE WAS ELECTED TO DO!

I just sent the letter below to DeMint after receiving an email from Human Events on behalf of DeMint and the Senate Conservatives Fund. As each disingenuous 'candidate' and fund invades my inbox with their hands out begging for more money from a seriously depleted and demoralized citizenry; the angrier I get and out goes another letter calling them on their lies and crimes.

Senator DeMint,

I received an email today from Human Events requesting donations in return for a copy of your book. I, and many other Americans from different Party Affiliations, will not donate to any group or candidate that does not prove by action that they are upholding their sworn Oath and their ultimate responsibilities as American citizens.

You tout Conservative values and bemoan the statement that you cannot change the Senate. I say horse manure. WE are disgusted with excuses and blame. There is only ONE America, ONE Constitution and ONE way to go. Anything else is lies, cheats and theft of our money and betrayal of our trust.

NEVADA - TAX HIKES LOOM - CALL YOUR GOP REPS!

When it Comes to Tax Hikes, are Assembly Republicans with Sen. Brower or the Democrats?

As Citizen Outreach continues robo-calls this week to Republicans in the Assembly who continue to negotiate an extension of the 2009 tax hikes which are scheduled to sunset at the end of June, some of them continue to whine privately that they are NOT for such an extension.

The problem is, they haven’t been willing to say so PUBLICLY - which is giving aid-and-comfort to the Democrats.

Instead of whispering a bunch of mealy-mouthed, loophole-riddled statements that state nothing, why can’t these people just issue a proud, plain, simple written statement on this issue like the one Republican State Sen. Greg Brower (R-Reno) issued on Sunday:

MUTH'S TRUTHS 05/23/2011

SHARRON ANGLE AGAINST THE WORLD

If you ever wondered why Sharron Angle has almost NEVER won a Republican primary race with more than half of the GOP votes – including her “win” in the U.S. Senate primary last year – the email solicitation she sent out Sunday morning will tell you all you need to know.

This woman has an uncanny knack for insulting, offending and driving away otherwise would-be supporters that is unrivaled. She is, without a doubt, the biggest divider, not uniter, among Republicans in Nevada. In fact, under the word “polarizing” in the dictionary, there’s a picture of Sharron Angle (ba-da-boom!).

She’s the political equivalent of Russell Crowe: She just wants to fight EVERYBODY, including her own philosophical allies. She’s like a blind bank robber; you know somebody’s gonna get shot, you just don’t know who.

RON PAUL DOES NOT REPRESENT MY VALUES - WHAT ABOUT YOURS?

Code Pink and Ron Paul: Leftist Bedfellows

lisarichardsusa | May 23, 2011 at URL: http://wp.me/pMjbI-40

That loud-mouthed, radical left-wing brigade of hippie Jew-haters, Code Pink, says they are on the same page with Ron Paul: they support and defend Israel's enemies.
This is certainly not a surprise. Ron Paul and Code Pink blame Israel for Palestinian deaths, both sided with the flotilla that illegally bypassed Israel and entered Gaza. Both called Israel’s military involvement an invasion against Palestinians, both excused the bloody violence perpetrated by Palestinians against Israeli soldiers, who boarded the flotilla, and both blame Middle East violence and poverty on Israel and America.
Just compare the two and see they are one-and-the-same-- leftists.

Obama, Why Not Tell Black Americans to go Back to Pre-1965 Civil Rights Act?

lisarichardsusa | May 23, 2011

http://wp.me/pMjbI-43

Since President Obama’s leftist/socialist internationalist philosophy assumes Israel's pre-1967 borderline past is a better place for Jews to live, why not tell American Blacks to return to the pre-1965 Civil Rights Act era?

CONGRESS ASSISTING JOB LOSSES BY FORCING EMPLOYERS TO GO ELSEWHERE

U.S. Congress Working Against American WorkersThe only way to fix the problem is to have the problem affect everyone in the wallet. Then possibly we have a chance.

OBAMA SEEKING TO DESTROY SMALL BUSINESSES THROUGH EXCESSIVE REGULATION

Obama’s Corporatist StateIn the corporatist state so beloved by our President, industry and government are partners. The government calls the shots, defines through regulatory carrots and sticks the direction industry will take, while ensuring through anti-competitive rules that the cooperative are rewarded with above market rates of return. This is to the distinct pleasure of the heads of leading firms because it at once takes away from them the necessity of making difficult choices subject to the vagaries of a free market and........
