Judicial Watch: 165,900 Criminal Aliens into US Population Through April 2014
Posted by Staff

Breitbart:

Nearly 166,000 convicted criminal illegal aliens were released by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as of April, 2014. This is the analysis of 76 pages of DHS documents obtained by Judicial Watch via Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. The criminal illegal aliens include rapists, murderers and kidnappers.

A report from Judicial Watch on Monday revealed the startling details of criminal illegal aliens who have been set free to roam around the United States after being convicted of crimes. Many of the criminals released are violent offenders who have committed homicides, sexual assaults, kidnappings and aggravated assaults. The information comes from a list of 76 documents that Judicial Watch obtained from a lawsuit they filed against the DHS in July, 2014. The lawsuit was filed after the DHS failed to respond in a timely manner to the FOIA request.

This Is How I Know We're Doomed

This Is How I Know We're Doomed. College Kids Are Demanding "Safe Spaces" Where Their Feeeeelings Can't Be Hurt.

Written by  Mockaren

I swear, we are raising a nation of pansies.

According to this, a column by Judith Shulevitz in the NYT says that college kids are demanding "safe spaces" where any speech that could potentially hurt their precious feeeeeeelings is banned.

I'm not even making that up.

Examples Shulevitz gave included a student group at Brown (the Sexual Assault Task Force), which found out that a debate was going to be held about rape culture.  They were so upset that a libertarian planned to criticize the term "rape culture" that the university president was persuaded to schedule a CONCURRENT discussion about   "the role of culture in sexual assault."  A "safe space" was created for all of the students whose delicate sensibilities were affected by the debate, and this space included, FOR REAL, "cookies, coloring books, bubbles, Play-Doh, calming music, pillows, blankets, and a video of puppies."

According to the sourcelink, Shulevitz wrote that this phenomenon of college students feeling so easily threatened started in the 80s and 90s, when "feminists and legal scholars said the First Amendment was not meant to offer free speech to supposedly racist or sexist language causing pain."

Shulevitz gave plenty of other examples of this total wussification of college students.  And I contend that  in every example, progressivism is to blame.

Is it any wonder that we're now seeing adult day care centers open in US cities?

Listen, I'm the first person to admit COMPLETE immaturity from time to time, particularly in the face of fart jokes.  But even I know that there's a time and a place for everything.  And college is NOT the time or place for students to shield themselves from varying viewpoints and diversity of thought.  They should be seeking it out, critically thinking about what they're hearing, and shaping their own points of view.  Not running into safe rooms and playing with freaking Play-Doh.

Buncha babies.

Gawd.

NBC–No Journalistic Integrity

Posted in “Young Conservatives”  by Michael Cantrell

There are three things in life that are guaranteed certainties: death, taxes, and every cop who shoots a black teenager will automatically be labeled a racist by the media.

Just about every time an incident occurs, evidence usually points to the fact the police officer was violently attacked by the thug, which is what led to their untimely demise.

Here’s a good case in point.

A black Wisconsin teenager–who turned out to be convicted of armed robbery–violently attacks a police officer, leaving the officer no choice but to use lethal force.

Is that the story mainstream media reports?

Of course not.

From Legal Insurrection:

Let’s take a look at  how NBC covered this shooting in a post headlined: Black Teen Tony Robinson Shot Dead by Cop in Madison, Wisconsin, Was Unarmed. First, their lede:

The 19-year-old black man who was shot dead Friday during a confrontation with a police officer in Madison, Wisconsin, was unarmed, police said Saturday.

A “confrontation,” eh? How wonderfully passive.  Zero indication of whether this confrontation might have been the responsibility of the black man or the police, except for the observation that the black man was unarmed–so, right in the first sentence they’ve established the ” cop shoots unarmed black teenager” narrative with which we’ve grown so tiresomely familiar.

Within hours of the incident, the family gets an official spokesman, and as you can probably guess, there were protests and sit-ins at Madison City Hall.

NBC then refers to a previous incident Officer Matt Kenny–the individual who shot Tony Robinson–was involved in where he shot and killed a man in what was later to be determined to be a “suicide-by-cop” situation.

He was cleared of any wrongdoing, but of course, the MSM brings this incident up because they’re doing their best to put together a narrative that paints this cop as a violent, crazed, homicidal, racist maniac.

Oh, it gets better.

NBC then goes on to include quotes from the family which seem to paint Robinson as a darling little angel incapable of doing wrong.

Sharon Irwin, Robins’s grandmother:   “He was a beautiful, beautiful soul and everybody that knew him knew that.”

Robinson’s aunt, Lorien Carter: “This is the type of child that you wanted to have in your life because he made it better.”

Conveniently, NBC left out a bunch of details that give context to Kenny’s decision to use lethal force against Robinson.

First off, Robinson wasn’t even remotely close to being the perfect angel he was made out to be in the piece.

In fact, he was a convicted armed robber.

So, what do we find in The Smoking Gun post that was left absent from the NBC piece?  As we did with the NBC piece, let’s start with the lede:

The unarmed Wisconsin teenager who was shot to death last night during a confrontation with a Madison cop pleaded guilty last year to armed robbery and recently began serving a three-year probation term for that felony conviction, court records show.

Oh and they left out this teeny tiny little detail about Robinson bashing Kenny in the head, knocking him to the ground, and engaging in a struggle. I mean, seriously, this isn’t THAT important of a detail, right?

According to police, an officer responded Friday to a 911 call about a man who had assaulted a victim and was dodging cars in traffic. The cop followed the suspect into a nearby apartment, where the man allegedly struck the officer in the head, knocking him to the ground. During an ensuing struggle, patrolman Matt Kenny fatally shot the suspect.

Stuff like this is solid proof the mainstream media has abandoned journalistic integrity in favor of being the government’s cute and cuddly lapdog–there are other terms, but they’re highly inappropriate so I won’t use them–pushing their agenda instead of pursuing the facts.

This is why it’s critical to do your own digging for the facts, because chances are, major news outlets aren’t telling you everything you need to know in order to draw a well informed conclusion on a matter.

Maybe, just maybe, one day we’ll see major news organizations return to the pursuit of truth, following the trail of facts wherever they lead.

Preemptive surrender strikes again!

Posted by Judson Phillips on March 9, 2015 at 6:36am in Tea Party Nation Forum

As everyone knows the current Republican Leadership in Congress has banished the elephant as the symbol of the Republican Party and instead substituted the freshly laundered white flag of surrender.

Insanity is often defined as trying the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.  On a crucial issue, the Republicans have once again moved to preemptive surrender.

Will the Republicans ever learn or is the insanity they engage in repeatedly part of a plan?

Mitch McConnell, the alleged Senate Majority Leader has once again stolen John Boehner’s freshly laundered white flag of surrender and hoisted it before battle.  The issue is the debt ceiling.

The government is running out of borrowed money.  The national debt is at over $18 trillion and a sane person would look at the debt against America’s gross domestic product and say, perhaps it is time to rein in spending and reduce borrowing. 

Barack Obama does not want to reduce borrowing.  If he can build America’s debt high enough, it will eventually bring down the American economy.  Only then can the system he wants, a socialist system, be put in place. 

Republicans are allegedly the adults in the government room and claim they stand for fiscal sanity.  Mitch McConnell just proved otherwise.

On Sunday, McConnell said he would not let the government default on its debt.  Is he really that stupid or is this just an act he is putting on for TV?

The Obama Regime is demanding the debt ceiling be raised.  When Obama was sworn in, in January 2009 the national debt stood at a little over $10 trillion. Obama has increased that debt by over 70%.  Right now it stands at over $18 trillion and the new debt ceiling demand will most likely push it to $20 trillion.

Where did all of that money go?

That type of borrowing is unsustainable. 

Which gets us back to the debt ceiling. 

All that hitting the debt ceiling means is that America has maxed out its credit cards.  It doesn’t mean the nation defaults on its debt.  Only the Treasury Secretary can do that. 

If the debt ceiling is not raised, America must reprioritize spending and service the debt first, then pay its other bills. 

By announcing he would not let the government default, McConnell has announced he is surrendering. 

Anyone who has ever done any negotiating knows you do not take your strongest point of leverage off the table before a deal.  That is what McConnell has done.  The only leverage the Congress has is to threaten not to approve a new debt ceiling.  McConnell is announcing in advance that Obama may now dictate to the Republicans the terms of their surrender. 

This is likely the last debt ceiling fight for Obama.  As he moves into the last 22 months of his Regime, he is trying to do as much damage to America as he can.  The conditions he will demand in this debt ceiling debate will be outrageous. 

Thanks to the Republican surrender, America will one day look like Greece.  We will be begging our lenders to restructure our debt.  Unfortunately for America, most of our lenders do not really like this nation nor do they wish to see America remain a superpower. 

But than again, neither does Barack Obama.

The Lord’s Prayer (King James Version)

These are the words from the Lord's prayer in Matthew 6:9-13, taken from the King James Bible (Authorized version of the scriptures):-

9 Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
