Meanwhile Back At NBC News….

…..NBC News President Deborah Turness committed a major blunder — as far as the Hispanic lawmakers were concerned — when she described undocumented immigrants as “illegals,” a term that many in the Latino community find highly offensive.

“I’m going to stop you right there. We use the term undocumented immigrants,” Rep. Juan Vargas (D-Calif.) interrupted.

Turness apologized.

That exchange kicked off a meeting that was already expected to be tense. Lawmakers were hoping for an explanation of why Trump hosted Saturday Night Live, despite formal protests from the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. Keep reading….

You know what Mr. Vargas, I’m offended that Mexicans crossed our border illegally, I’m offended that our prisons are full of Mexican illegals, I’m offended that Mexican illegals are bringing drugs into this country, I’m offended I have to push 2 for English, I’m offended there is a Latin & Black Caucus in our government, I’m offended your looking for an explanation from a network that has nothing to do with you, I’m offended Ms. Turness didn’t tell you to fuck off on the spot.

So in the spirit of being offended….Fuck Off Mr. Vargas.

Pretty Simple

I would suggest as a test of the refugee vetting system, the Obama administration provide transcripts of the background checks of EVERY Syrian/Middle Eastern refugee that has been “resettled” to date in the U.S.

If it’s found that there is no “data” or zero information other than taking the individuals word for it, that’s not vetting, that’s free entry. If that’s the baseline standard they are using then they should end the refugee program and send the resettled people with no information back to where they came from.

Easy.

….if one of these “refugees” kills someone.

Speaking to reporters Wednesday morning in the Philippines, Obama scoffed at attempts to block refugees following the Paris terror attacks as “political posturing” that “needs to stop.”

“Apparently they are scared of widows and orphans coming into the United States of America,” Obama said of Republicans. “At first, they were too scared of the press being too tough on them in the debates. Now they are scared of three year old orphans. That doesn’t seem so tough to me.”

Mr. Obama needs to understand that mocking Republicans is all well and fine. He can be as arrogant as he wants because he knows his ass is covered by the liberal media back home, his tough guy routine is that of a spoiled teen.

But if just one of these refugees goes on a killing spree, Mr. Obama will be directly responsible and the blood will be on his hands. There is no mandate that he bring in the refugees, there is no law requiring we take them in. There will be no excuse that will remove him from responsibility, no fog of war, no blaming the pentagon or any other agency, this is on him.

“The tyrant is a child of Pride
Who drinks from his sickening cup
Recklessness and vanity,
Until from his high crest headlong
He plummets to the dust of hope.”

Insert Foot – Kerry Tries To Explain Away Idiotic Comment

The man and his master are an embarrassment to this country.

A day after suggesting that there was a “rationale” for the January terrorist attack at the French satirical publication Charlie Hebdo, Secretary of State John Kerry was explicit on Wednesday in rejecting any grounds for a terrorist attack.

“There are no grounds of history, religion, ideology, psychology, politics, economic disadvantage, or personal ambition that justify the slaughter of unarmed civilians, the bombing of public places or indiscriminate violence toward innocent men, women and children,” he told the Overseas Security Advisory Council in Washington, adding that “such atrocities can never be rationalized, and we can never allow them to be rationalized. No excuse. They have to be stopped.”

Hey John just sing ’em a song like you did the last time you insulted them.

Don’t Bite The Hand That Feeds You

I’m no fan of inter-generational guilt or collective responsibility. You are responsible for you. You cannot pass onto your children the guilt of your deeds so that means your ancestors could not have done that to you. Holding white people in America responsible for the deeds of white people located here 200 years ago is madness. White people owe black people nothing more than they owe themselves as citizens.

That’s why “white privilege” is a sham perpetrated by the perpetually offended.

There’s the problem and it is clear in the black lives matter protest. Here we have unqualified blacks on the campus of Dartmouth, displacing better qualified Jews and Asians who would relish a chance at an Ivy League education. Instead of being grateful for the opportunity, these blacks are bitching and moaning, making a nuisance of themselves. Worse yet, they are interfering with the work of others. Keep Reading….

Meanwhile Back At The DOJ….

….incompetence is being ~~punished~~ rewarded.

Several men have now been convicted for the murder of U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry but we’ve looked into the murky cases of the men in charge of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives gun-walking scandal known as Operation Fast and Furious and found those in charge of the program received a better deal,” kvoa.com reports. “Murky” because the ATF refuses to tell KVOA what’s happened to 15 federal investigators found responsible for Operation Fast and Furious. Meanwhile, they found out the punishment meted out to the two ATF agents in charge of F&F. First, their guilt . . .

Federal reports obtained by the News 4 Tucson Investigators show the gun buyers spent $1.5 million dollars on 2,000 weapons. The report notes that among those who created the gun walking program, two men were responsible for creating Fast and Furious: ATF’s special agent in charge at the time, William Newell, and his second in command during fast and furious, George Gillett.

Investigators wrote: “Newell also bore ultimate responsibility for the failures in Operation Fast and Furious.”

And on his second in command: “We found Gillett’s supervision and judgment in Operation Fast and Furious seriously deficient.”

And so . . .

Tony Coulson was a Drug Enforcement administrator in Tucson during Operation Fast and Furious and worked with Newell and Gillett.

“Nothing happened to them. George Gillett was allowed to retire with no impact on his retirement.”

Bill Newell got an even sweeter deal.

“Newell was demoted from a senior executive service to intelligence analyst or grade 13.”

Coulson estimates Newell stands to make $100,000 a year in annuities.

As for the men ultimately responsible for the anti-gun gun running black ops op, Attorney General Eric Holder and President Obama, Mr. Holder got off scott-free (despite being held in contempt of Congress) and Mr. Obama continues to hold office. Here….

Heh…

Change The Law….

November 17, 2015 jeffli6 Comments 2 comments

….it’s not 1980 anymore.

As it stands, a handful of states have absorbed the bulk of the Syrian refugee population: California, Texas, Michigan, Arizona and Illinois.

Of those states, governors in all but California have declared they will try to stop Syrian refugees from settling in their states going forward — though the federal government, under a 1980 law, has the ability to admit and resettle refugees using federal funds, while taking state input under consideration.

Together, just those five states already have accepted hundreds. According to the State Department’s Refugee Processing Center, since January 2012, California has received 251 Syrian refugees; Texas has received 242; Michigan has received 206; Arizona has received 168; and Illinois has received 157.

Specifically it was Ed Kennedy & Jimma Carter who redefined the act according to Wiki.

The creation of the Refugee Act began with hearings by the United States Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Refugees and Border Security from 1965–1968, which recommended that congress create a uniform system for refugees, but received little support. Edward Kennedy began writing to propose a bill to reform refugee policy in 1978 and first introduced the idea to the United States Senate in 1979.

The act was completed on March 3, 1980, was signed by President Jimmy Carter on March 17, 1980 and became effective on April 1, 1980. This was the first comprehensive amendment of U.S. general immigration laws designed to face up to the realities of modern refugee situations by stating a clear-cut national policy and providing a flexible mechanism to meet the rapidly shifting developments of today’s world policy. here…

It’s almost 2016, time to fix the law by giving the States back their rights, the world has changed in 36 years. These laws seem easy to put on the books but impossible to get rid of or change.

The End Game In Syria?

November 16, 2015 jeffli6 Comments 0 Comment

If Libya is any indication of what could happen if Assad were ousted, it would be wise to focus on ISIS and leave the Assad regime intact.

To me this is the key fault line. Are you willing to fight a war to beat ISIS without “liberating” Syria from Assad? If so, I’m in. If not, we’ll be creating bigger problems than we solve. Namely, the American people are not likely to sign on for “a multi generational” occupation and rebuilding of Syria that we are unlikely to be able to accomplish. If you demand that as the price of fighting ISIS, you won’t get the chance to fight ISIS.

And how are we to prosecute this new war? Will it be a WWII destruction mission or counter insurgency mission where “courageous restraint” will be the order of the day? Again, sign me up for the former but not the latter.

Of course the idea of trying to fight ISIS while removing Assad has become even more ludicrous since I wrote that post in February. When you hear candidates talk about removing him, ask yourself, “how are you going to get the Russians to throw him under the bus?

So while Assad’s regime is happy to do business with ISiS and use them as a shield against regime change, there’s not much we can do about it.

We have to accept certain realities. The US has done business with far worse regimes than the Syrian Baathists in the name of fighting an even worse enemy (think Stalin and Hitler in WWII), we can suck it up and crush ISIS while working with Assad and the Russians. Keep Reading…..
