Say "HELL NO!" to the Obama/Gang of Eight abomination of an immigration bill!

6/27 Enforcement Holiday: Immigration Bill Allows Criminal Illegals 'Safe Harbor'


Let me get this straight... After we learned that the most corrupt lawless president in US history, Barack Obama, played a stealth role in creating this so-called "immigration reform" bill, the same Obama who already promised he'd gut immigration enforcement, the same Obama who lied when he said the bill would require illegal aliens to learn English, the same Obama who refused to meet with ICE agents requesting a voice in the negotiations but met with illegal aliens in the Oval Office, the same Obama who gutted border security with his sequester that tripled illegal immigration after amnesty talks started, the same Obama who used his sequester to leave "large portions" of our southern border open, the same Obama who tried to cover up the fact that his sequester released THOUSANDS of illegal aliens, many who have criminal records and have since "disappeared," the same Obama who still hasn't recovered the thousands of assault weapons that his illegal "Fast and Furious" gun-running put in the hands of drug cartels, after ALL OF THAT, we still have 15 mush Republicans (named below) trying to shove this bill down our collective throats... a bill that:

• doesn't secure the border,

• further damages our economy,

• includes a Democrat slush fund,

• was negotiated behind closed doors,

• has ANOTHER STIMULUS for Obama,

• would give Democrats a permanent majority,

• purposely encourages a flood of NEW illegals,

• hides a permanent amnesty-for-illegal-aliens loophole,

• is over a thousand pages long and weighs nearly thirty pounds,

• NO MEMBER OF CONGRESS WHO SUPPORTS IT ACTUALLY READ,

• "incentivizes" employers to fire Americans then hire immigrants,

• is backed by a Democrat who rallied with Communists supporting it,

• is more lenient to law-breaking criminal illegal aliens than it is to legal immigrants and US citizens,

• was so deceitfully sold that faux "conservative" and "evangelical" political action "front" groups were created just to sell it,

• eases restrictions for asylum seekers [Sec. 3401], adds another appeals layer for rejected aliens [Sec. 3504], lets AG Eric Holder give taxpayer-funded legal counsel to illegal aliens which is contrary to existing law [Sec. 3502], outsources assistance for amnesty-seeking illegal aliens from DHS "to community organizations" [Sec. 2106],

• gives DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano the discretion to further gut border security, this following her stunning Senate hearing testimony after the Boston Bombing when she admitted that she knew terrorist Tamerlan Tsarnaev had taken a trip last year to Russia and she STILL let him come back into our country...

After all that and the threats we're now hearing from rabid Democrats if it doesn't pass, you know what I say to those trying to make this abomination of an immigration bill become law?!?

HELL NO!!!

My take on the Padres-Dodgers #Basebrawl

A sports take, because knee-jerk reactions from a national media that is Los Angeles/Dodgers-centric get tiresome. My response to Sports on Earth columnist Gwen Knapp's "No Reason" post...

Gwen Knapp joins a crowded left field of sports media colleagues on the Dodgers' bandwagon who, in response to last night's brawl, are all running with the same lame "tale-of-the-tape" meme. To be fair, Carlos Quentin is a bull and Zack Greinke isn't. But that doesn't tell the whole story, especially when one factors in the damage that a well-located fastball can do.

Oh, and Q was not crowding the plate:

h/t to CJ Nitkowski for image

Unfortunately, Gwenn also fails to mention that the official Twitter feed for the Dodgers went trolling afterwards. Or what happened after the game, when the REAL adolescent, Matt Kemp, went looking for a fight...

Greinke suffered a broken left collarbone in the brawl.(AP Photo/Lenny Ignelzi)

...which resulted in a San Diego police officer having to break up the confrontation brought on by Kemp:

Greinke suffered a broken left collarbone in the brawl. (AP Photo/Lenny Ignelzi)

I'm a lifelong baseball fan -- I love the game. I recall a time when a home plate umpire rang up Matt Kemp on a called third strike that he didn't like. Kemp was in a rut (rare for him) and he WENT OFF. Now I've heard cursing before but Kemp was dropping F-bombs and was loud and vulgar all the way to the dugout... and he didn't stop there. He went on and on. It was cringe-worthy. The hundreds of fans within earshot would agree. I can't say that those who heard Kemp's tirade lost respect for him as a "professional" but I know that I did that day.

Back to point, how the Dodgers (didn't) handle themselves last night detracts from what should be a national celebration this Monday -- Jackie Robinson Day. It's a bad time for bad PR, especially with the anniversary of the brutal beating that the still-recovering Bryan Stow suffered in the Dodger's parking lot two years ago, and the Dodgers' former owner Frank McCourt still not having picked up the tab for Stow's mounting medical costs. But I guess that's a different topic that "sports writers" are afraid to touch.

To wrap this up, I'd argue that, besides Kemp, another person who acted without reason was Zack Greinke himself, who suffers from Social Anxiety Disorder. And taking on a bull by the horns didn't prove to be too smart, did it?

Say No to Flo and Say No to Progressive!

The "Open Society" network that nazi-collaborator George Soros created launders money to tax-exempt foundations intent on destroying America. Whether it's their radical environmentalism, wide open national borders, or population control through euthanasia and infanticide, George Soros is the man behind the curtain.

Which brings us to another man, one who hides behind a mask... literally. His name is Peter B. Lewis.

Warning: "What you are about to read may disturb you."


Peter B. Lewis is Progressive Insurance Corporation's billionaire Chairman of the Board, a "good friend" of George Soros, and an admirer of Communist dictator Mao Tse-Tung.

Hoover's Handbook of American Business has described Lewis as a "functioning pot-head." Peter B. Lewis uses his Progressive wealth to promote drug use, including psychedelics, and finance Democrats, including Obama.

Peter B. Lewis corresponded with the UN to undermine US drug laws so that children would have access to pot. In 2000, he was busted by customs agents overseas for importing hashish.

The progressive movement sees Peter B. Lewis as their champion -- he's a major player/backer for hard-left, anti-American organizations and extreme Leftist causes including the since-morphed ACORN, the Campaign for America's Future, the Center for American Progress, the Democracy Alliance, GOTV (Get Out The Vote), Media Matters for America, MoveOn.org, militant pro-homosexual organizations, SEIU, the Tides Foundation, and the various "Occupy Movement" fronts.

The message that Lewis's money buys ends up in "mainstream" media by design. But it's not just the insidious narrative being pushed by "the news" or all of those ditzy Flo commercials -- it's the funding that Lewis provides for the Left's never-ending culture war against our Judeo-Christian heritage.

Here's a pre-2008 election video that follows some of that money...


Peter B. Lewis's son Jonathan, from a divorced marriage, once described the closeness of the Lewis-Soros financial collusion as being "like a married couple." Lewis is against teachers being tested for drugs, and is leveraging what public support there is for the decriminalization of marijuana to achieve these "progressive" goals: The further "dumbing down" of America's youth, and the infusion of cash that revenue collectors will receive if/when the government legalizes (taxes) pot. In other words, it's a win-win for the Left... more low information voters and a bigger government-bloated stash.

Final note: The "ditziness" of Progressive Insurance's Flo may come from Peter B. Lewis himself -- he's appeared at a city council meeting tricked out in his Lone Ranger outfit. (He has a football field-length yacht of the same name -- a place he once got caught using as a stash for his drugs.)

But it's Lewis's actions that mark him as more than an eccentric billionaire -- he's a danger to the republic. It's time to say no to Flo and say no to Progressive!

Will Obamacare be a future Cause of Death?

***UPDATES***


In the future, the day may come when, God Forbid, the "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act" is listed as a Cause of Death, i.e., they died of Obamacare. Liberals wanting to "self check-out" (and not eat a bullet) may even get the choice of getting their ticket punched before boarding/PERMANENTLY CHECKING OUT in a G-LOC (G-force induced Loss of Consciousness), courtesy of their local George Soros-franchised "euthanasia" roller coaster.
**WARNING** The following video is disturbing...


The Left could then have their organs harvested/"recycled"/sold to the highest bidder.


Don't think horrors such as this can't happen. "Bioethicist" Ezekiel "Zeke" Emanuel, MD, PhD, brother of former White House Chief-of-Staff Rahm, acted as Special Adviser on Health Care to Obama, assisting him and the White House's Office of Management and Budget on how to spend billions of our taxpayer dollars on health care. Dr. Zeke also argued for an organ allocation system he coined "The Complete Lives System" (Google it and CRINGE -- it seems straight out of Soylent Green and reads like it came from no doctor any of us ever knew nor one who took the Hippocratic Oath).


Then again, Dr. Zeke's career started in the isolated world of Academic Medicine before moving on to the Public Sector and into the White House, where he was able to affect HIS kind of policy change and practice HIS kind of medicine, Obamacare, because he had the President's ear... literally. The only thing missing from this checksum zero equation is the marshaling of the soon-to-be-dead for vote casting and signing their estates away... to The State.

h/t to "90Ninety Miles From Tyranny" for image

The following articles and news stories just begin to touch on the tyranny that is Obamacare...

Top Ten ObamaCare Horror Stories the Media Is Covering Up
John Nolte: Because the mainstream media lobbied every bit as hard as Obama to win passage of ObamaCare, they are every bit as invested in doing whatever is necessary to see that it is perceived as a success. Unfortunately for Americans who expect truth from their media, this means the media are having to manufacture a false reality that says ObamaCare is, to steal a phrase, "doing fine."

The top ten, "in no particular order..."

1. Millions are and will lose the insurance Obama promised they could keep. Because ObamaCare forces employers to offer expensive Cadillac plans but also offers the option of paying a fine for not providing health insurance that can be cheaper than providing it, between seven and twenty million Americans are likely to lose their health insurance coverage according to the Congressional Budget Office. The original estimate was closer to four million.

2. The cost of healthcare premiums is about to further skyrocket. Premium costs have already exploded, but that is a slow-motion explosion. In the near future, we could see costs double or worse. Naturally, these costs will hit an already burdened middle class hardest.

3. Lost jobs. Lost jobs.  

The Federal Reserve's March beige book on economic activity noted that businesses "cited the unknown effects of the Affordable Care Act as reasons for planned layoffs and reluctance to hire more staff."

Meanwhile, human resources consulting firm Adecco found that half of the small businesses it surveyed in January either plan to cut their workforce, not hire new workers, or shift to part-time or temporary help because of ObamaCare.

4. Potential doctor shortages that will mean rationing. The healthcare industry is already a bureaucratic quagmire. ObamaCare is about to add steroids. As the profession becomes tyrannized by government, the talented people currently practicing medicine plan to get out sooner than expected. Who knows how many will choose not to get in.

Doctor shortages lead to the nightmare known as rationed care. Here's an unsettling example already being practiced.

5. Somewhere around $800 billion in tax increases will hit America's middle class. This added burden will not only further oppress a middle class already reeling from a drop in wages over the last few years, but could damage the overall economy.

6. Inflation, the cruelest tax on the poor. When businesses get socked with added costs brought about by higher taxes and burdensome government mandates, they pass those costs along to the consumer in the form of higher prices.

7. Added bureaucracy. Even those Obama lapdogs over at the Washington Post's Wonk Blog are admitting that applying for health care is about to get more burdensome than the byzantine paperwork involved in buying a home.

8. To cut costs or to avoid having to provide insurance, workers on the economic margins are already losing hours, which means a lower paycheck. There are a million sad stories in ObamaVille; here are just a few of them.

9. ObamaCare is projected to add $6.2 TRILLION to a deficit the GAO has already declared "unsustainable." That's "trillion" with a "t".

10. More taxes than currently estimated are likely to hit because of situations like this one.


Phil Kerpen: "Obamacare is falling apart before our eyes. The long-term care insurance program known as the CLASS ACT was deemed financially unworkable and shut down by the administration’s own actuaries. Taxpayer-funded health care cooperatives never got off the ground and were shut down in the fiscal cliff deal. Last month the federal Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan stopped accepting enrollment applications." Continue reading...

Joe Klein: "Let me try to understand this: The key incentive for small businesses to support Obamacare was that they would be able to shop for the best deals in health care super-stores—called exchanges. The Administration has had 3 years to set up these exchanges. It has failed to do so.
This is a really bad sign."

Paul Bedard: Tens of thousands of health care professionals, union workers and community activists hired as "navigators" to help Americans choose Obamacare options starting Oct. 1 will be paid up to $48 an hour, more than six times the federal minimum wage of $7.25, according to new regulations issued Wednesday.

Wolf Blitzer: "Here's a question, were Americans misled about the cost of Obamacare? The president has long pledged that his health care law would reduce premiums and raise benefits. Now the Obama administration is conceding that some people, yes, some people will have to pay more, potentially even a lot more for health insurance coverage."


And there is this...
David Catron: ...it should be obvious to the meanest intelligence that PPACA [Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act] is, and always has been, a vote-buying scheme. And what's the use of a vote-buying scheme that doesn't steer potential Democrats to voter registration forms?

A genuine health care reform law would not contain provisions that virtually guarantee huge increases in health insurance premiums. Yet, this is such a predictable effect of Obamacare that even Kathleen the Terrible no longer bothers to deny it. Last week, Sebelius admitted that a lot of people will see their premiums rise: "These folks will be moving into a really fully insured product for the first time, and so there may be a higher cost associated with getting into that market." Health "reform," you may recall, was supposed to decrease costs.

Nor would genuine health care reform reduce access to health care. Obamacare will allegedly introduce tens of millions of new patients into the health system, yet many physicians are so put off by its intrusiveness that they plan to retire. Thomas Hemphill reports that "nearly one-third of all physicians will retire by 2020; many of them undoubtedly encouraged by the Affordable Care Acts restrictions on personal autonomy, bureaucratic regulation, and diminished job satisfaction." Obamacare will, that is, exacerbate the physician shortage.

During the health care debate, survey after survey showed that the two things Americans wanted most from reform were increased access and lower cost. Obamacare gave us precisely the reverse. Continue reading...

Pelosi, wielding a super-size gavel, laughs on her way to the Obamacare vote.

The maze that is Obamacare (click to enlarge, though it won't help)

The video below features an excerpt from a 2008 speech by Obama's former Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Donald Berwick, speaking to a British audience about why he favors government-run health care:


Donald Berwick: "Any health care funding plan that is just, equitable, civilized and humane must, must redistribute wealth from the richer among us to the poorer and the less fortunate. Excellent health care is by definition redistributional."


Of course, the great Ronald Reagan warned us about the evils of socialized medicine fifty years ago...


Flashback: In 1961, Ronald Reagan, then a private citizen, joined the American Medical Association in opposing the Democrat Party's attempt to shove socialized medicine down the American people's throat. Reagan's warning is even more relevant today. 

"One of the traditional methods of imposing statism or socialism on a people has been by way of medicine. It's very easy to disguise a medical program as a humanitarian project... Now, the American people, if you put it to them about socialized medicine and gave them a chance to choose, would unhesitatingly vote against it." ~Ronald Reagan


The following ties in with Reagan's warning about socialism, i.e., the federal government not only telling us what doctor we can see, but quite possibly, in accordance with their central plan, telling us what our children can study:

Five Devastating Effects Obamacare Will Have on Young Adults
Alyene Senger: A provision neatly tucked into the massive health care law is an effective nationalization of the student loan industry. Obamacare ends government subsidies to private lenders and puts the federal government in charge of originating and servicing federally backed student loans. As almost anyone is eligible for a student loan, Heritage's Lindsey Burke explains that "these policies only exacerbate the college cost crisis, continuing a vicious cycle whereby college costs rise in tandem with ever-increasing federal subsidies... Colleges will once again be able to increase costs, and students with easy access to low-interest loans will once again be able to pay." Continue reading...

Alyene Senger closes out her article with this: "Obamacare’s negative impact on young Americans is just one of many reasons the law should be repealed."

Thank God for Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, who is trying to do just that: "The American people, especially vulnerable women, vulnerable children, vulnerable senior citizens, now get to pay more and get less. That's why we're here because we're saying let's repeal this failure before it literally kills women, kills children, kills senior citizens. Let's not do that! Let's love people, let's care about people. Let's repeal it now while we can."

With news that Obamacare is already in trouble, with insurance exchanges being delayed an entire year, and Medicare not paying for diagnostic tests, and now thousands of patients being turned away from cancer clinics -- all because Obama pulled hundreds of billions of dollars out of Medicare to fund his Obamacare, it's obvious that, even before full implementation, Obamacare must meet a quick and timely death... or it will be the death of the Republic.

Let's wrap this up with a "Free Obamacare Pink Slip Notice," courtesy of Doug Ross: "As a public service for businesses impacted by Obamacare's Byzantine maze of penalties, fees, taxes, mandates and other regulations that will require you to shed workers, our enterprising Cub Reporter Biff Spackle offers the following Semi-Official Obamacare Pink Slip."


Doug says, "Feel free to reproduce anywhere, anytime as a reminder to the drones that they may want to think before they vote next time around. That is, if there is a next time."

The sequester a week later: Obama still holding America hostage

Last week's #SequesterTHAT post looked at Obama's sequester from many different angles and the subterfuge behind it. Some satire was thrown in for laughs. Unfortunately, no one is laughing this week because Obama doubled down and used the sequester he created to inflict even more damage.

Why did he do that? Because Obama hates America. Everything about that statement and the image that goes with it must be seen through the prism of this quote from Dinesh D'Souza: "Obama has a dream -- a dream from his father. That the sins of colonialism be set right, and America be downsized." And the way Obama uses the sequester against us does just that.

Another reason Obama doubled down? The THUG in him lashed out. And his plan to kill two birds with one sequester backfired politically. America and the opposition party are still alive and kicking despite his and "mainstream" media's best efforts to shift the blame with their constantly regurgitated talking points. The sky hasn't fallen yet, though Obama wishes it had...

Which brings us to the next phase of his plan -- call it the kicker: Obama continues laying the groundwork, as he did once again in his most recent Weekly Address, for the sequester that he created to be THE excuse for our stagnating economy... which of course it isn't. But with "mainstream" media's help yet again, the focus remains not on the failure of Obamanomics, but on the sequester. How diabolical Obama is with this vicious circle... while America circles the drain. He's a schemer from hell.

The links...

Emails confirm Obama is the first president in history who is out to hurt the American people as badly as possible

Making the Sequester Really Hurt -- Everyone

Congressman Louie Gohmert on Obama's decision to use the sequester to punish Americans: "It is just incredible that anybody would think like that. 'Gee, we're being cut so let's make America hurt, make them suffer so they'll give us more of our money.' In the last four years, the executive branch budget has gone up over 20 percent, and they can't stand to have that increase lowered to 18 percent increase? It is outrageous."
Obama’s ‘make America hurt’ plan

Carol Platt Liebau: As everyone knows, when any US president takes the oath of office, he swears to "preserve, protect and defend" the USA.  That promise can reasonably be construed to mean that a president is obligated to make sensible efforts, wherever possible, to minimize -- not enhance -- any "pain" experienced by law-abiding US citizens as he executes his duties. How disgraceful, then, to note that the Obama administration is trying to implement the sequester's funding reductions in a way that will maximize problems for those he is sworn to serve.

Joel Gehrke reports: House investigators learned Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials developed plans to release about 5,000 illegal immigrant detainees, although Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has denied responsibility for the decision. “An internal document obtained by the House Judiciary Committee shows that Administration officials at ICE prepared cold calculations to release thousands of criminal aliens onto the streets and did not demonstrate any consideration of the impact this decision would have on the safety of Americans,” committee chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., announced.
DHS plans to release 5,000 illegal immigrants due to sequestration

(CNN) -- The U.S. government on Thursday notified 60,000 federal workers responsible for securing borders and facilitating trade that they will face furloughs due to government-wide spending cuts. Customs and Border Protection said it expects furloughs and other austerity will cause delays at ports of entry, including international arrivals at airports, and reduce the number of border patrol officers on duty at any one time.

Judson Berger reports: Another federal employee has come forward to claim the Obama administration resisted efforts to ease the impact of sequester. A U.S. park ranger, who did not wish to be identified, told FoxNews.com that supervisors within the National Park Service overruled plans to deal with the budget cuts in a way that would have had minimal impact on the public. Instead, the source said, park staff were told to cancel special events and cut "interpretation services" -- the talks, tours and other education services provided by local park rangers. "It's obvious that they want the public to feel the pain in order to push this agenda that Washington wants," the ranger said. "A lot of these parks can absorb these cuts without the public's visit being affected."

Daniel Halper: ABC reports that most folks support spending cuts, as long as defense budgets aren't slashed: For all the dire warnings, most Americans welcome a five percent cut in overall federal spending this year. But the defense budget is another matter. The public by nearly 2-1, 61-33 percent, supports cutting the overall budget along the lines of the sequester that took effect last Friday. But by nearly an identical margin, Americans in this ABC News/Washington Post poll oppose an eight percent across-the-board cut in military spending.

William Kristol: President Obama is an appalling commander in chief. In the last couple of months alone, he’s selected and muscled through the Senate the least qualified nominee for secretary of defense in a half century; forced out of his position early a superb combatant commander, General James Mattis, because Mattis took seriously the Iranian threat; and blithely ordered women into combat arms units, with no pretense of serious consideration of the effect of this on the capability, discipline, and morale of our warfighters. Before that, while growing every other part of the federal government, he cut defense. So we shouldn’t be surprised that he’s not doing anything serious about the further devastating cuts sequestration will impose on the military.

Thomas Sowell: "Republicans in the House of Representatives have offered to pass legislation giving President Obama the authority to pick and choose what gets cut -- anywhere in the trillions of dollars of federal spending -- rather than being hemmed in by the arbitrary provisions of the sequester. This would minimize the damage done by budget cuts concentrated in limited areas, such as the Defense Department. But it serves Obama's interest to maximize the damage and the public alarm, which he can direct against Republicans. President Obama has said that he would veto legislation to let him choose what to cut. That should tell us everything we need to know about the utter cynicism of this glib man."


Meanwhile... "Federal coffers are already well fed on taxes: The Congressional Budget Office estimates the federal government is on pace to bring in a record $2.7 trillion in tax receipts this fiscal year."

Living Large in the Obama White House: "The hoi polloi aren't welcome, but Marie Antoinette would be at home."
Charles C. W. Cooke: We are now firmly ensconced in the brutal Age of the Sequester, and things in America are grave. The federal government, we learned on Wednesday, is so strapped for cash that the president has been forced to cut off the People’s access to the home he’s borrowing from them. He didn’t want to have to do this, naturally — “particularly during the popular spring touring season.” But then Congress just had to go and acquiesce with measures that the president himself suggested and signed into law. How beastly! We axed 2.6 percent from a $44.8 trillion budget, and now the president can’t even afford the $18,000 per week necessary to retain the seven staff members who facilitate citizens’ enjoying self-guided tours around the White House. The executive mansion is not in that much trouble, of course. It’s certainly not in sufficiently dire straits for Air Force One ($181,757 per hour) to be grounded, or to see the executive chef ($100,000 per year) furloughed, or to cut back on the hours of the three full-time White House calligraphers ($277,050 per year for the trio), or to limit the invaluable work of the chief of staff to the president’s dog ($102,000 per year), CONTINUE READING...

Just face it: Barack Obama is trying to hold America HOSTAGE.
And anyone who can't see that suffers from Stockholm syndrome.
