WASHINGTON DC – Jose Antonio Vargas, an illegal immigrant and former reporter, scolded a congressional panel on Wednesday, saying that he should not be called illegal, and saying it is an insult to his family who brought him here.

“When you inaccurately call me illegal, you not only dehumanize me, you’re offending them,” he said. “No human being is illegal.”

Mr. Vargas testified to the Senate Judiciary Committee alongside Chris Crane — a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent and president of the ICE agents’ union — who is unable to arrest him under the administration’s new non-deportation policies.

Mr. Vargas, who “came out” as an illegal immigrant several years ago, delivered an emotional plea for the country to legalize him. (more)

It’s always OK when the left-wing praises shooters and killers.   CNN Race-based contributor and Columbia Professor Marc Lamont Hill reflects on Chris Dorner and shows the blatent racism of the collective black socio-political ideology.

New Verb: Trayvonned. When a guilty thug is killed and the good guys are made out to be bad guys. Usage: Chris Dorner got Trayvonned.

The very, very end of the video is also a peek into the mindset of the uber-left world of race driven progs.  Listen as someone says “but it’s not ok” [regarding Dorners kill spree] and Lamont waxingly says “meh”…

WASHINGTON DC – Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) made no effort to hide the fact that he believes the Democratic agenda is radical, comparing members of the party to Socialists and Marxists over the weekend.

Johnson lamented President Barack Obama’s reelection with fellow Republicans in a speech on Saturday night in Johnson Creek, Wis., calling it a “body blow to freedom.” He then described what “people who like freedom” — people such as himself — were up against.

“We are up against a strategy that is taking place by liberals, progressives, Democrats, whatever they call themselves nowadays, Socialists, Marxists,” Johnson continued, according to the Daily Jefferson County Union. “We are up against a strategy that has taken place for about a hundred years. Diabolically simple. It’s simply this: A big American government. The problem with that is far too many Americans have bought into that.” (more…)

It’s been six months since we brought you the uncomfortable story of Black Day Care workers who created their own version of “Gladiator Training” for the three-year-olds in their care who were forced to fight eachother and videotaped.  In that real-life story we outlined the culture of thuggery, and violence, and how it was not only supported by -but advocated by- black women in the community.

The three women seen here: 19-year-old Tiana Harris, 21-year-old Estefania Myers and 47-year-old Lisa Parker were arrested last year and charged with assault, endangering the welfare of a child, reckless endangering and conspiracy.  The story is HERE.

Well what do you think happens when a generation of those who survive “fight school” reach the streets?    It is interesting how Jesse Jackson, Barack Obama and Eric Holder disengenuously avoid any conversation about the violence so easily witnessed within the black community.   Here is the latest example:  (more…)

TV reports confirm Korea admits to seven kiloton (7,000 metric ton tnt equivalent) nuclear test.   President Obama to issue sternly worded letter in 3…. 2…. no, wait.. what?

(CNN) – North Korea appeared to have conducted its third underground nuclear bomb test Tuesday, as the U.S. Geological Survey reported a seismic disturbance centered near the site of the secretive regime’s two previous nuclear tests.

The area around the reported epicenter of the magnitude 4.9 disturbance has little or no history of earthquakes or natural seismic hazards, according to U.S. Geological Survey maps. The disturbance took place at a depth of about 1 kilometer, the USGS said. (more…)

Only in a liberal mind can all the dangers of the world be avoided, but that doesn’t stop them from turning their minds utopia into ridiculous rules to protect the children.

Given the fact that kids are now suspended from school for playing “imaginary games” the liberals deem psychologically dangerous, it should not be a surprise to find the kids are also verbÖtten from climbing on monkey bars the liberals determine too dangerous.

Safety is no longer just the avoidance of running with scissors, or the infamous sticks that can put your eye out; No, now safety and liberal safe-exercise means you must be limited to standing in place and flailing your arms in the existential air while worshipping teh Won. Let’s Mooove…. just not to, well, quickly or something;…. and under no circumstances can you simultaneously think about playing War, or Cowboys and Injuns.  *spit*

(Via Daily Mail) […] Parents had spent months raising $35,000 to  pay for new climbing frame outside Stratford Landing Elementary School, in Fairfax  County, Virginia – and claim they worked with authorities to ensure the site met  required standards.

But before a child could set foot in the playground,  authorities performed a last-minute U-turn and deemed it to be a  hazard.  Bright yellow caution tape now festoons the  apparatus to warn off any children.

The project, which was started by parents,  who raised funds with auctions and cake bakes in a bid to  give the 870  pupils a little more fun during playtime, now looks set to be mired in acrimony  and costly recriminations.  The school’s facilities department insists the  new equipment must be dismantled.

Once again the appeasement POTUS fails on the international stage of influence.  Last week the White House announced it was willing to talk to Iran face-to-face.   Iran responds to President Obama telling him to change his attitude and they’ll think about granting him the privilege of their association.

IRAN – Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Sunday said the United States must change its attitude if it wants to hold direct nuclear talks with Iran, as he hit out at Washington for imposing sanctions on Tehran, AFP reports.

His comments, in a speech marking the 34th anniversary of the Islamic revolution that ousted the U.S.-backed shah in 1979, came just days after Iran’s supreme leader rejected U.S. Vice President Joe Biden’s call for direct talks.

They also come at a time when Tehran and six world powers are preparing to resume stalled talks over Iran’s nuclear programme in the Kazakh city of Almaty on February 26.

“The change of tone is necessary but not sufficient,” Ahmadinejad said at Tehran’s landmark Azadi (Freedom) Square amid chants of “Death to America,” according to AFP. (more…)

The President Obama White House has three current “priority issues” in the works.   Gun Control, Immigration Reform and Climate Change (energy reform) as current important objectives.

Compare those three to the Priority List of Americans in General.   Where do they fall?

Ask yourself this question:  why would they need to use “drones”?    Think.   They are being operated over U.S. airspace.   There is no risk to the aviation asset being attacked, so why wouldn’t traditional search planes with FLIR be used?    Know what the real agenda is here…. the real goal…..  get you comfy (numb) with Drone Surveillance stories.

Also they just issued a $1,000,000 reward.   CALIFORNIA – Police plan to use spy drones in the hunt for a Rambo-style ex-soldier and policeman who has murdered three people and vowed to kill again.

They believe burly, heavily-armed Christopher Dorner is holed-up in the wilderness of California’s snow-capped San Bernardino mountains 80 miles east of Los Angeles.

The burnt-out shell of his pick-up truck was discovered in the nearby resort of Big Bear, where residents and tourists have been warned to stay indoors as the search continues.

Yesterday, as a task force of 125 officers, some riding Snowcats in the rugged terrain, continued their search, it was revealed that Dorner has become the first human target for remotely-controlled airborne drones on US soil. (more…)
