White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters on Monday that the situation at the overwhelmed Texas-Mexico border is improving, and he attributed it partly to the administration’s response:

“You know, we have seen a reduction, at least for now, in the flow of individuals from these Central American countries to the border. We’ve seen a stepped-up campaign from Customs and Border Patrol in Spanish-language media, in Central America, to try to make it clear why parents should not put their kids on this dangerous journey.”   Continue reading “Obama White House Takes Credit for Slowing Illegal Immigration”

USA – -(Ammoland.com)- Kalashnikov rifles are big news lately. An executive order from the White House recently cut off the Russian-made versions – Saiga rifles and shotguns along with VEPRs.

But there are still plenty of AKs and parts kits from places like Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, just about anywhere from the old Soviet Bloc and their allies.

Even before the import ban on Russian AKs, building your own Kalashnikov was becoming more  popular, and will probably become even more so, now with the current ban in place.   Continue reading “Top Five Tools For Building Your Own AK-47 Rifle”

When President Obama wraps up his 16-day summer break next month on Martha’s Vineyard, Mass., he will have taken all or part of 141 days of vacation, time split between summers on the island, winters in his native Hawaii and birthday weekends at his Chicago home.

Obama has been criticized for taking costly and lengthy vacations, especially compared to the short trips most Americans take. The U.S. Travel Association told Secrets that the average American vacation lasts just 3.7 days.   Continue reading “5 Months Off: Martha’s Vineyard Break Will Put Obama Over 140 Days on Vacation”

Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) believes Hispanics should get amnesty and citizenship to punish Americans who are against illegal immigration.

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.   Continue reading “Luis Gutierrez to La Raza: Get Amnesty to ‘Punish’ Americans against Illegal Immigration”

Israel kept up attacks on Gaza on Tuesday, killing three Palestinians and hitting over 70 targets, including five mosques, a sports stadium and the home of the deceased Hamas military chief.

Additionally, nearly 500 homes have been destroyed in the Israeli bombardments and 100,000 people have been displaced, said Jens Laerke, spokesman of the UN Office for Humanitarian Assistance (OCHA) at a Geneva news briefing.   Continue reading “600 deaths in Israeli Gaza op: Military hits mosques, stadium, homes, hospital”

The two Americans killed in fighting in the Gaza Strip followed in the footsteps of scores of Jews from around the world who have volunteered to fight for Israel.

Israel calls them the lone soldiers: They are men and women in the prime of their lives who have left their parents and often comfortable lives behind in places like Sydney, London, Los Angeles and elsewhere to join the Israel Defense Forces, marching in the desert and taking up arms to defend the Jewish state.   Continue reading “American Jews, other ‘lone soldiers’ serve Israel”

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A man who says he is the father of two of three teens charged with fatally beating two homeless men says that they too were once homeless, and he has no idea what prompted the brutal Friday night attack that police say left the victims unrecognizable.

After their arrest, the 15-year-old told police that the trio had been targeting homeless people for the past year, according to a criminal complaint. He said they had attacked about 50 people over the last few months, but had never gone that far, according to the criminal complaint.   Continue reading “Dad: Boys charged in homeless deaths once homeless”

The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday that ObamaCare subsidies issued through the federal exchanges are legal, contradicting a separate ruling by the D.C. Circuit Court on the same day.

Fourth Circuit Judge Roger Gregory argued that because the statutory language of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is ambiguous, courts should defer to the interpretation of the Internal Revenue Service and allow the subsides to stand.  Continue reading “Second court disagrees, upholds subsidies for ObamaCare”

While the Fascist Western nations continue to wage war, the Communist BRIC nations are quietly engaging in their own economic and financial world, free of the U.S. dollar and Western influence. During this time, not one of these BRIC countries has been actually under any physical attack. Even though they have been threatened, they have more or less been fenced off, yet at the same time, protected by the West. In addition to that, South America led by Brazil, for some reason, still has not been met with the same hostility from Western powers as the other BRIC countries. But it seems that with the current events happening now, just after the illegal immigrant invasion, South America is slowly coming in to play.   Continue reading “A Review of the Global Chessboard”

On Saturday, Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) said President Barack Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program was a “down payment” to the Hispanic community before more grants of amnesty for illegal immigrants.

Speaking at the National Council of La Raza conference in Los Angeles, Gutierrez said that Obama assured him during a White House meeting with Members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus last week that he would be as “generous and broad” as he can to “stop the deportation of our people each and every day.”    Continue reading “Luis Gutierrez to La Raza: Obama Assured Steps to ‘Stop the Deportation of our People’”

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Veterans, medical marijuana activists and scientists welcomed the first federally approved research into pot as a treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder.

But their hopes for the research were dashed when the University of Arizona fired researcher Suzanne Sisley, who undertook the study after clearing four years of bureaucratic hurdles.   Continue reading “Fired Professor Suzanne Sisley Isn’t Giving Up On Marijuana Research”
