No Joke: Obuma Considering Flying Immigrants From Honduras Straight To The U.S.
So They Don't Have To Sneak Over Border

(God help us... this clown is nuts.  He will do anything to upset the American people)

Via NY Times:

Hoping to stem the recent surge of migrants at the Southwest border, the Obama administration is considering whether to allow hundreds of minors and young adults from Honduras into the United States without making the dangerous trek through Mexico, according to a draft of the proposal.

If approved, the plan would direct the government to screen thousands of children and youths in Honduras to see if they can enter the United States as refugees or on emergency humanitarian grounds. It would be the first American refugee effort in a nation reachable by land to the United States, the White House said, putting the violence in Honduras on the level of humanitarian emergencies in Haiti and Vietnam, where such programs have been conducted in the past amid war and major crises.

Critics of the plan were quick to pounce, saying it appeared to redefine the legal definition of a refugee and would only increase the flow of migration to the United States. Administration officials said they believed the plan could be enacted through executive action, without congressional approval, as long as it did not increase the total number of refugees coming into the country.

By moving decisions on refugee claims to Honduras, the plan aims to slow the rush of minors crossing into the United States illegally from El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala, which has overwhelmed the border this year. More than 45,000 unaccompanied minors from those three nations have arrived since Oct. 1, straining federal resources to the point that some agencies will exhaust their budgets by next month, the secretary of Homeland Security has said.

Dem: Redskins a 'Hateful Mascot' - 'Racism and Hate Speech' a Priority in Congress

(Dems try to tie everything to racism and hate speech.  And what right is it of Congress to change the name of a private company?   The economy in the toilet, healthcare so screwed up no one knows which end is up, gas prices high, inflation, the world on fire... annnnnnd these idiots think Redskins is the most important issue to run on???  Really?  A name that has been there since the 1930s is the most important issue she can find to run with? The lady is squirrely...time to call in the Marines! .)

Via CNS News:

Rep. Betty McCollum (D-Minn.) said at an event on Tuesday at the liberal Center for American Progress that "racism and hate speech" are always a priority in Congress, including as it relates to the campaign to change the name of the Washington Redskins.

"Racism and hate speech is always a priority if we're going to be the shining beacon of democracy and respect and opportunity that we aspire to in all of our founding documents," McCollum said when CNSNews.com asked whether the Redskins controversy should be a priority given all of the issues facing lawmakers.

In her remarks at CAP, McCollum said when she came to the Capitol in 2001, she became aware of the "harmful stereotype" the Redskins mascot represented.

"It made me realize that people didn't know what they were doing – that they needed an opportunity to find out what this hateful mascot really was, because they didn't know," McCollum said.

(This idiot is a good example of what is wrong with Congress)

City Moves To Implement $500 Fine
For Kids Playing With Toy Guns

If you have a child, and live in the city of Burlington, Iowa, you may have to get written permission from the city before your child is allowed to play with a toy gun.  This includes squirt guns, nerf guns, etc.  ANY toy gun now faces a city-wide ban requiring city official approval.  And if your child does not have permission, it's a $500 fine per offense.

(Sorry Timmy, hand in that banned weapon NOW, or face a $500 fine...)

The Facebook page for the Iowa Gun Owners posted this alert earlier today regarding this Big Government madness:

The Burlington Iowa City Council is moving to pass an ordinance that would require you to get their WRITTEN permission before your kids can play with toy guns, replica guns, BB guns, etc!

If your kids play with these toys in most outdoor situations, or if they play with toy guns in the car while you drive them around, you are looking at a fine in excess of $500 and up to a month in jail!

We spoke to the Mayor, who unapologetically defended the proposal as "forward thinking"...

They are meeting tonight. They need to hear from Iowans immediately about this stupidity. Tell them how you feel about needing a 'hall pass' for your children to play Cowboys and Indians in your backyard.

If they pass it in this town, they can try it in your town next. So please, immediately contact:

• Mayor McCampbell at (319)457-2652 or by emailing mccampbells@burlingtoniowa.org.

• Council Member Becky Anderson can be reached at andersonb@burlingtoniowa.org.

• Council Member Robert Fleming can be reached at flemmingb@burlingtoniowa.org.
• Council Member Tim Scott can be reached at scottt@burlingtoniowa.org.
• Council Member Becky Shockley can be reached at shockleyb@burlingtoniowa.org.

Mooch Outraged GOP Opposing Her Lunch Mandate:
"It's Gotten So Bad, They're Even Trying To Block The Work I Do"

(How dare they!  Where's ButtHead on this?)

Via Chicago Sun-Times:


First lady Michelle Obama was especially frank Thursday evening when addressing a crowd of some 150 Chicago donors about the best way to influence politics: "Write the biggest, fattest check that you can possibly write."

Here to raise money for the national Democratic Party, the first lady also put in a plug for local Democrat Gov. Pat Quinn, pledging to "do everything in our power to make sure he gets over the finish line. He is the guy for this state." [...]

Obama's 20-minute speech covered obstructionist politics in Congress, campaign finance as well as health care, according to a pool report of the event.

"It's gotten so bad, they're even trying to block the work that I do on childhood obesity, and that's really saying something," Michelle Obama said, referring to Republicans. "I mean, for most folks in this country, making sure our kids get decent nutrition shouldn't be that controversial."

WH Adviser Again Refuses To Answer Congressional Subpoena
Claiming "Immunity", House Formally Rebukes Obuma Regime

(By that standard of immunity, no one in the executive branch
would ever be required to testify)

Via Roll Call:
Updated 12:27 p.m. | Top White House political adviser David Simas refused again Friday to honor a congressional subpoena, prompting Republicans on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee to vote to rebuke the administration.

The Oversight and Government Reform Committee voted 19-14 to reject the White House's claim that Simas has absolute immunity from a subpoena from Congress.

Republicans said they were standing up for the principle that no one is above the law, and Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Darrell Issa quoted a long list of Democrats, including Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California, who have backed Congress' right to subpoena top administration officials.

Democrats, led by ranking member Elijah E. Cummings of Maryland, said they strongly disagree with the White House's claim of absolute immunity but also strongly disagree with Issa's push to press the issue, warning it could hurt the institution if they take a case to court.

The White House informed Issa at 7:30 a.m. Friday that Simas would not appear, Issa said. The absence was "not excused," the California Republican added.

White House Counsel W. Neil Eggleston asked Issa to withdraw the subpoena to discuss his late Thursday offer for Simas to give a deposition instead of subpoenaed testimony.

The Secret Government Rulebook For Labeling You A Terrorist

(Great story.  This list thing is indeed very scary.  With no transparency, overly broad criteria, too much arbitrariness in being put on them, and the inversion of "innocent until proven guilty".... what's really being described here is a nightmare.  And reading about what data may be seized in the so-called "encounters"... well we knew they wanted to "collect it all" but, this is really showing the limitless boundaries that really means.  Of course we didn't get to this point overnight.  I'm just praying that there's some hope of ending this slide down that precipice of a slippery slope)


The Obama administration has quietly approved a substantial expansion of the terrorist watchlist system, authorizing a secret process that requires neither "concrete facts" nor "irrefutable evidence" to designate an American or foreigner as a terrorist, according to a key government document obtained by The Intercept.

The "March 2013 Watchlisting Guidance," a 166-page document issued last year by the National Counterterrorism Center, spells out the government's secret rules for putting individuals on its main terrorist database, as well as the no fly list and the selectee list, which triggers enhanced screening at airports and border crossings. The new guidelines allow individuals to be designated as representatives of terror organizations without any evidence they are actually connected to such organizations, and it gives a single White House official the unilateral authority to place "entire categories" of people the government is tracking onto the no fly and selectee lists. It broadens the authority of government officials to "nominate" people to the watchlists based on what is vaguely described as "fragmentary information." It also allows for dead people to be watchlisted.

Red Heifer Discovered! – Major Obstacle To The Rebuilding Of
The Jewish Temple Removed

By Michael Snyder, on June 23rd, 2014

Up until now, one of the major barriers to the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem has been the lack of a red heifer.  A qualified red heifer has not been seen in the land of Israel for nearly two thousand years, and without one it would not be possible to resume Temple worship.  But now a candidate has been found that could change everything.  The Temple Institute in Jerusalem has released stunning video footage of a red heifer that they believe meets the Biblical requirements.  This red heifer was born in the United States, and the owners of the red heifer contacted the Temple Institute in order to receive instructions about how to care for it.  It is hoped that this red heifer will eventually be transported to the land of Israel and be used for the purification of the priests and the vessels that will be used in a rebuilt Jewish Temple.

This is a very big deal, because without a red heifer the Temple would never be rebuilt.  So needless to say, the video footage that you are about to see is creating quite a stir in Jewish communities throughout the world.  The Temple Institute contacted a documentary filmmaker to film this red heifer, and this video was just released to the public earlier this month...

If you are not familiar with the Temple Institute, it is an organization located in the heart of Jerusalem that is dedicated to making preparations for the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple.  The Institute has created a whole host of items that are intended to be used in a future Temple including priestly garments made to Biblical specifications, a seven-branched Menorah made of pure gold, a golden Incense Altar and a golden Table of Showbread.  The following is what the Temple Institute has to say about itself...

The Temple Institute (in Hebrew, Machon HaMikdash), founded in 1987, is a non-profit educational and religious organization located in the Jewish quarter of Jerusalem's Old City. The Institute is dedicated to every aspect of the Biblical commandment to build the Holy Temple of G-d on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem. Our short-term goal is to rekindle the flame of the Holy Temple in the hearts of mankind through education. Our long-term goal is to do all in our limited power to bring about the building of the Holy Temple in our time. Thus, the Institute's efforts include raising public awareness about the Holy Temple, and the central role that it occupies in the spiritual life of mankind. The many areas of activities conducted by the Institute combine research, seminars, publications, and conferences, as well as the production of educational materials.

The major focus of the Institute is its efforts towards the beginning of the actual rebuilding of the Holy Temple. Towards this end, the Institute has begun to restore and construct the sacred vessels for the service of the Holy Temple. These vessels, which G-d commanded Israel to create, can be seen today at our exhibition in Jerusalem's Old City Jewish Quarter. They are made according to the exact specifications of the Bible, and have been constructed from the original source materials, such as gold, copper, silver and wood. These are authentic, accurate vessels, not merely replicas or models. All of these items are fit and ready for use in the service of the Holy Temple. Among the many items featured in the exhibition are musical instruments played by the Levitical choir, the golden crown of the High Priest, and gold and silver vessels used in the incense and sacrificial services. After many years of effort and toil, the Institute has completed the three most important and central vessels of the Divine service: the seven-branched candelabra, or Menorah, made of pure gold; the golden Incense Altar, and the golden Table of the Showbread.

But without the ashes of a red heifer, all of those preparations are in vain.

Before the Temple can be rebuilt and Temple worship can be resumed, a perfect red heifer must be found.

And now one has been discovered.

According to Orthodox Jewish authorities, a suitable red heifer cannot even have a single black hair.  So finding such a creature is not easy.  According to Jewish tradition, only nine such red heifers were found during the entire time when the first two temples were standing.  And if this current red heifer ever does any work or ever mates it will be disqualified.  The following comes from a Jewish source...

The sages infer that the Red Heifer must be completely red—even two black hairs would render it invalid. And it must not have done any work in its lifetime—even having a yoke placed on its back or having mated would disqualify it.

Once a candidate was found, and there was need for more purifying ash water, the cow would be slaughtered and burned on a pyre, along with a cedar branch, hyssop sprig, and crimson wool. The ceremony took place on the Mount of Olives, opposite the Temple Mount.  All of this has huge implications for world events.

Traditionally, many Orthodox Jews have believed that the spotting of a red heifer would herald the coming of the Messiah.

And if this red heifer does indeed turn out to be a suitable candidate, one of the biggest obstacles to rebuilding the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem will have been removed.

For Christians, this is an extremely exciting development as well.

The Bible tells us that there will be a Temple standing in Jerusalem in the last days, and that the Antichrist will defile it.

But that Bible prophecy could never be fulfilled until a red heifer was found.

Yes, there are still many more obstacles standing in the way of the Jewish people rebuilding the Temple.  For one, the Islamic world would go into convulsions if Israel tried to build anything on or near the Temple mount at this point.

However, the Temple Institute and a whole host of Orthodox Jews are absolutely determined to make the rebuilding of the Temple a reality, and now they appear to be one giant step closing to achieving that dream.
