Governor Rick Perry ended up greeting President Barack Obama on the tarmac in Texas after all.
Despite the Republican’s refusal of Obama’s initial invitation, Perry turned up at Dallas-Fort Worth Airport after the president agreed to a “substantive meeting” with Perry to discuss the recent surge of unaccompanied children at the U.S.-Mexico border: Continue reading “Rick Perry Ended Up Greeting Obama On The Tarmac After All”
Growing up, I heard lots of complaints from parents and teachers about children being conceited, proud, and arrogant. Looking back, it seems to me that most of these complaints were related to a failure to obey. We did have one or two kids who were arrogant jerks, but the rest of us received the same comments they did.
But whatever motivated the adults of my youth, they were mostly wrong – it’s not our overvaluation of ourselves that is the real problem; it’s our undervaluation. Continue reading “We have Undervalued Ourselves”

An internal summary of Border Patrol operations at the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Nogales (Arizona) Placement Center stated that 16 unaccompanied immigrant children being held at the facility are members of Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) transnational criminal gang.
The summary, which was obtained by the Townhall online magazine, noted that Border Patrol officials at Nogales were alerted to the MS-13 presence among the detainees when they discovered gang-related graffiti in the walls of the processing center. It stated: Continue reading “Illegal Immigrant “Children” Include MS-13 Gang Members”
As everyone knows, the U.S. government is operating under strict austerity budgeting, pinching every penny and slashing every expense. Despite this reality, the White House still found some money to renovate its bowling alley.
Thank goodness. Now White House visitors will be spared from the horror of “chipped lanes and worn-out shoes.” (Is this some Third World hellhole, or is this America?) According to Time: Continue reading “This Is Austerity: The White House Will Install a Snazzier Bowling Alley”

It looks like it’s time to start filing EEOC claims, suing and boycotting these companies along with others too. These companies and temporary staffing agencies are way outta control. They are posting a lot of jobs that are based in the United States of America in foreign countries like India, China, Mexico, Philippines, Russia etc. then hiring them to do the job here.

Unlike the terrorist offenses in Libya, Syria, and now Iraq, backed by the United States, the UK, the EU, members of NATO as well as regional collaborators such as Saudi Arabia, Israel, and Qatar, where any attempts to stop extremists from seizing entire nations is met by the West’s howling indignation and accusations of “human rights abuses,” the unmitigated brutality executed by literal Nazis in Ukraine against breakaway provinces in the east are accompanied by a hypocritical silence from the West. Refugees streaming away from encircled and bombarded populated centers tell tales of mass murder, indiscriminate targeting of civilians, and even grisly accounts of forced organ harvesting taking place from the bodies of those killed by Kiev’s combined arms offensive, or from those kidnapped by criminal gangs operating in the vacuum of impunity afforded by the West’s silence.

EFF is in Ottawa this week for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) negotiations, to influence the course of discussions over regressive digital policy provisions in this trade agreement that could lead to an increasingly restrictive Internet. But this round is different from the others—the secrecy around the talks is wholly unprecedented. The Canadian trade ministry, who is hosting this round of talks, has likely heightened the confidentiality due to the mass public opposition that is growing against this undemocratic, corporate-driven trade deal.

Very recently I came across a scenario in the streets of Hollywood, California. The big scene seemed a bit striking to the average person walking by as it was the middle of the day in a crowded busy Hollywood street. A closer look caused me to be even more intrigued – there was a gentleman being arrested. He was in handcuffs and surrounded by three or four armed officers. Or were they really officers?
A closer look surprised me even more. The “officers” were not police. They were not Sheriffs department or California Highway Patrol (CHP). They all wore a logo on their sleeves and a logo on an otherwise unmarked car that read “Andrews International Security Services” nothing else. They otherwise had all black uniforms and all were armed like police officers, looking scary and aggressive.

A new, ultra-thin type of ATM skimmer has been identified by the European ATM Security Team (East) in its latest report.
The thin skimmer improves on previous designs by fitting directly inside the card slot, but was only seen in one country that the non-profit group investigated.
“New versions of insert skimmers (skimmers placed inside the card reader throat) are getting harder to detect,” the report said. Continue reading “Criminals have invented a card skimmer you can barely see”
The Obama administration has listed a Central American street gang as an international criminal organisation subject to US sanctions.
This is first time the designation has been given to such a group in the US. MS-13, which started as a Los Angeles gang composed largely of Salvadorian immigrants, is believed to have as many as 10,000 members across 46 US states and Central America. Members have been accused of kidnapping, murder, drug smuggling and human trafficking. Continue reading “United States classifies MS-13 street gang a global criminal organisation”
The victim of an Orthodox Jewish sex abuser tore into his attacker Wednesday as the pervert was sentenced to two years behind bars.
“He still wouldn’t apologize to me in person. He never apologized to me,” the teen, who is now in his 20s and had a therapy dog with him in court, said in Brooklyn Supreme Court before Baruch Lebovits, 62, was sentenced. Continue reading “Orthodox Jew sex abuser gets 2 years in jail”

In San Francisco on Tuesday, 300 anti-Israel protesters allegedly threatened 30 peaceful, pro-Israel demonstrators, and called a third intifada and the destruction of the Jewish State.
One female protester screamed at the Jews videoing the event, “Take a picture. Take a f#@king poster picture. You see us? You see all of us? There’s f#@king ten of you. How many are there of all of us?…Take it, bitch. Take it…” Continue reading “Anti-Israel Protesters Threaten Pro-Israel Demonstrators in SF”
From a distance, the ocean near Scripps Pier off La Jolla, California, appeared to be the site of a catastrophic oil spill on Tuesday. Initially, Robert Monroe thought it was a red tide.
But it was neither.
Making a long, dark cloud in the shallow water off San Diego County was a massive school of Northern anchovies the likes of which has not been seen hugging the coast in more than 30 years. Continue reading “Massive school of anchovies looks like oil slick”

“I disagree,” Boehner said when asked by reporters Wednesday morning. When a reporter pointed out that some House Republicans also are calling for impeachment, Boehner said again: “I disagree.” Continue reading “Boehner disagrees with Palin on impeaching Obama”
HOUSTON, Texas–Breitbart Texas has learned that hospitals based in Southern Texas are being utilized to evaluate and treat illegal immigrants before they are sent to housing facilities around the country. The revelation could help justify claims that the tidal wave of Central Americans entering the U.S. illegally each day will clog up U.S. hospitals.
Margaret Althoff-Olivas, Director of Public Affairs for University Medical Center (UMC) of El Paso, told Breitbart Texas, “The U.S. Border Patrol (BP) has established a rotating schedule for area hospitals to medically evaluate detainees associated with the recent influx of Central American immigrants. According to the BP, all must be medically cleared before being transferred to detention centers.” Continue reading “Feds Using Texas Hospitals to Evaluate Illegal Immigrants”

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — J.C. Newman Cigar Co. is one of a kind, literally.
Founded in 1895 by Julius Caesar Newman, a Hungarian immigrant, the Tampa-based family business is the last of what was once 150 “Cigar City” factories.
Now, the company is fighting for its life.The business has outlasted 19 U.S. presidents, two world wars, a Cuban economic embargo that crushed many of its competitors and, most recently, the Great Recession. Continue reading “FDA rules could kill 119-year-old family cigar business”
I am convinced that Barack Obama has no intention of leaving America armed when he leaves office. If there is any way, hook, crook or presidential fiat that he can use to lay the groundwork for the confiscation of privately-owned firearms, he will do it.
The dwindling days of a lame duck president are a dangerous time as has been proven again and again as last minute applications of executive privilege have been applied to some very dubious situations and I believe that the legacy Obama craves, above all others, is the disarming of America.
