Hi there, little girl! Come see what I have for you.

On immigration, Ich bin ein citizen of the third world


If this bill was good for America, Obama would be against it.  "If this was a bill that any conservative could honestly support, Harry Reid would have killed it in committee and Chuck Schumer would not be begging people to support it, and the fact that 30 Republicans voted for cloture is profoundly disturbing."
 
 "Obama and his open-borders pals pay lip service to fairness and the rule of law for the cameras. But behind closed doors and beyond the reach of public accountability, they’ve already paved the way for mass deportation waivers. Read their actions, not their lips. The official White House operating policy is: No illegal alien left behind."
 
Wake Up!  "In 2007, John McCain’s “comprehensive” immigrant-legalization bill failed after opponents flooded the Senate with calls, shutting down the switchboard. Despite considerable press hype, the bill didn’t even muster a majority on the crucial cloture vote.
"It won’t be that easy this time. For one thing, they have a better switchboard, I’m told."

Bi-partisan Senate vote opens the door for immigration reform debate "And the fragility of the Senate coalition in favor of reform means that it wouldn't take much to have the whole thing blow up in their faces. One or two killer amendments may cause the whole thing to collapse and never make it out of the Senate."

Tips for Right-Wingers on the IRS Scandal

Ann Coulter  "The IRS leaked the donor list of The National Organization for Marriage to their political opponents, the pro-gay-marriage Human Rights Campaign. This is not idle speculation: The documents had an internal IRS stamp on them. The list of names was then published on a number of liberal websites and NOM's donors were harassed.

"The IRS demanded that all members of the Coalition for Life of Iowa swear under penalty of perjury that they wouldn't pray, picket or protest outside of Planned Parenthood. They were also asked to provide details of their prayer meetings."
Just wait till you read the list of organizations that HAVE been granted tax-exempt status by this administration. Read more.

More irony...

VDH's Private Papers  Pick Your Scandal
"The problem with the NSA monitoring is not just Obama’s hypocrisy of once decrying elements of the Patriot Act only to embrace them, or indeed expand upon them. By now, everyone knows that what Obama demagogued in 2008 was what he adopted in 2009. Nor is the problem that the U.S. does not have a need to monitor the communications of potential terrorists who plan attacks through the Internet, e-mail, and cell phones. Rather, the dilemma for the Obama administration is that the apparently vastly expanded NSA surveillance came at a time when, in high-profile terrorist cases — the Tsarnaev bombing, Major Hasan’s murder spree — U.S. officials did not use the intelligence in their possession to preempt terrorist acts. Fairly or not, there is the impression that a James Rosen of Fox News or the tea-party affiliates were more likely to earn unlawful federal attention than was a possible terrorist."  (Emphasis added with relish. TD)

Silent Warriors vs. the Warrior Princess

Blackfive 
"This is the absurd culmination of an extravaganza of ridiculousness that the NSW community may never recover from.  When I started blogging in 2004 as a SEAL, it was not to tell you about the things SEALs were doing and how cool we are.  It was to show you how we thought about or approached certain issues from politics to policy.  And when it became my turn to go down range, I shut it down, because you didn’t need to know, and you still don’t. 
"Here’s another thing you don’t need to know: Why Chris Beck wants to live the rest of his life as a woman."....
 

Drug Dealers In Your Home

Maya Grim "My parents used to send me out to play, and I had to be home by the time the street lights came on. Not only would I never consider letting my son do that, I have to worry about when to get him his first computer. I've noticed that a lot of us don't know our neighbors like my parents did.  If we don't know who's next door, we almost certainly have no clue as to who is lurking behind any web address. The main internet threats we all think about are scammers and sexual predators.  While these are still threats, there is a new one that is every bit as dangerous and devastating."
Hat tip to Michelle Lancaster at Conservative Bloggers on Facebook

We can all learn from this mom. Good for her.

McCain and the Wacko Birds

McCain Against the ‘Wacko Birds’   "The debate was over, but John McCain wasn’t done. After he threw down with a trio of younger Republican colleagues he has dubbed the “wacko birds,” McCain proceeded to walk around the Senate floor, ranting about the interchange to individual senators."
"McCain was incensed that Senators Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, and Mike Lee have been blocking Democratic majority leader Harry Reid from appointing Senate members to a conference committee for the budget resolution."

"Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) is continuing to criticize his fellow Republicans for their filibuster of incoming CIA Director John O. Brennan over drone policy."
....
"McCain himself was unrepentant, telling Michael Medved Friday that Paul’s concerns about a drone attack on U.S. civilians not engaged in violent activity were “ludicrous” and “inappropriate,” as well as a waste of time."

7-year old Pop-Tart gun offender loses first appeal

Legal Insurrection  "You may remember the story of the 7-year old disciplined for biting his Pop Tart into the shape of a gun at school, Maryland school offers counseling for students troubled by “pastry gun” incident."
(No, this story is not from "The Onion") 

 
"The evidence against the young lad was overwhelming and unimpeachable:"
 
Expunge this.
An appeal to have an eight year-old boy’s record expunged for a suspension he received for biting a Pop-Tart into the shape of a gun has been denied.
The attorney for Josh Welch, the boy who made national headlines after nibbling his pastry into a gun, said Monday that a top school official has denied an appeal to have the boy’s record expunged.
According to the Baltimore Sun, the family’s attorney, Robin Ficker, met with school officials last month, but no resolution was reached.

No such death panel

Remember How Leftist Media And Democrats Mocked Sarah Palin Over ‘Death Panels’? 

Sarah Palin was right about death panels  "But...but...people over 75 are old. And they would vote for well, Sarah Palin (R) instead of Obama. Or...eek! former Vice President Dick Cheney (R) who should never have received a heart transplant claim the death panel supporting sensitive haters. Read their appalling comments here. More here.
"Watch the Supreme Court case on Obamacare closely; hope death panels are not in your 70+ year old future."  Ethel C. Fenig

Navy SEAL raid member with traumatic brain injury might be called to testify against Manning that documents he leaked to WikiLeaks were found in bin Laden's Pakistani hideout

UK Daily Mail   "
The raid member, however, says the memory issues 'do not impact my life in any discernible way' and have not effected his memory of the raid that killed bin Laden."
His brain issues sound pretty much like my own.  "...prosecutors plan to argue that Afghanistan War Logs and the Department of State's diplomatic cables that were leaked by Manning were found in bin Laden's compound in an attempt to prove that the leaks were a direct threat to U.S. security. The raid member's testimony presumably would be used to establish a chain of custody of the documents found in the compound."

 
Military blog speaks about "Free Bradley Manning" "There isn't really a good reason to rally for freeing Bradley and if you blindly support someone who is complicit in the deaths of innocent civilians, well in my book you are morally challenged to be polite. But hey we are talking about Code Pink and ANSWER, so morally challenged is in their charters. .... I talked to a  bunch of news people, shocking I know, and I'll post any I find. It was a beautiful day to spend with some great patriots as we checked a bunch of truly deluded wankers."
