(Via WFB) More than half of households headed by immigrants in the county illegally, or 62 percent, received welfare benefits in 2012, according to a report released by the Center for Immigration Studies.
In the same time period, 49 percent of households headed by legal immigrants received welfare benefits, while 30 percent of households headed by natives received the same.
The report evaluates data from the Census Bureau and found that illegal immigrant households benefit mostly from food programs like food stamps and Medicaid through their native-born children. (more…)

Nice to be able to defraud the U.S. Treasury for thousands of dollars, and then feign ignorance blaming your husband’s record keeping, and get away with it.

(Via Daily Mail) Federal investigators targeted top Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin last year after they learned that she was paid for time she didn’t work during the former secretary of state’s time in office – but Abedin blamed her husband, the disgraced former Democratic congressman Anthony Weiner.
Abedin, who was Clinton’s deputy chief of staff for four years, explained a series of inappropriate overtime payments, excessive hours, and repeated leaves of absence as the products of Weiner’s poor record-keeping. She was even paid for eight hours work on the day she was in labor. (more…)

Earlier tonight CNN released the line-up for their September 16th Debate:

Obviously CNN adding space for Carly Fiorina so she can participate in the debate on behalf of the GOPe agenda to create space for Jeb.
Meanwhile the MEDIA onslaught against Trump continues.  Both Salem Media Communications (religious and politically ideological right) and Main Stream Media (anti-religion and politically ideological left) are aligned on behalf of all their collective financial interests to remove the threat to their politically driven power structure.

[*NOTE* Read and Bookmark this link —> HERE to see a summary of the ideological right and their efforts to eliminate Trump.]

Wall Street, K-Street, Park Row, Madison Avenue, Hollywood, The Republican National Committee and the Democrat National Committee all working in unison to bring about their desired outcome, the removal of the threat that is Donald Trump. (more…)

Many people will look at this devastating sunlight upon the U.S Intel Community as a political embarrassment for the Obama administration.  However, I would disagree. 
This entire exposition smells more like a deflective shield targeted to give the White House an excuse for terrible Mid-East policy.   This “revelation” protects the White House more than it causes embarrassment; it gives Obama excuses for his failures…. and you’ll note this is surfacing at a time when Russia is entering Syria under the auspices of needing to fight ISIS, because the U.S. has failed.  There’s an obvious transparency to the timing…
(Via Daily Beast) More than 50 intelligence analysts working out of the U.S. military’s Central Command have formally complained that their reports on ISIS and al Qaeda’s branch in Syria were being inappropriately altered by senior officials, The Daily Beast has learned.
The complaints spurred the Pentagon’s inspector general to open an investigation into the alleged manipulation of intelligence. The fact that so many people complained suggests there are deep-rooted, systemic problems in how the U.S. military command charged with the war against the self-proclaimed Islamic State assesses intelligence.

Well, this is either incompetence or willful blindness.  The U.S. State Department now saying they were unaware the “transparency czar”, who happens to be in charge of Hillary’s email release, was a donor to Clinton’s campaign….
(Via The Daily Caller) The State Department admitted on Wednesday that it did not know that a career diplomat hired as the agency’s new email and transparency czar donated the maximum allowed under federal law to Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.
Regardless of that potential conflict of interest, agency spokesman John Kirby also acknowledged that the new hire, Janice Jacobs, will likely be involved in processing Clinton’s emails. (more…)

Keep in mind:  ♦ no wrongdoing has ever been found;  ♦ Marilyn Mosby’s private attorney is the same attorney as Freddie Gray’s family;  ♦ The Gray family never filed a lawsuit, so this is not a “settlement” per se’;  ♦ The possibility of any police wrongful conduct being found during trial is quite probably nil; ♦ The maximum payout under Maryland state law, if lawsuit filed – and if police misconduct could be identified, would have been $400k.

UPDATE:  The nine-page agreement, obtained Wednesday by The Baltimore Sun, shows that Gray’s mother, Gloria Darden, will receive $5.36 million. Gray’s father, Freddie Gray Sr., will receive $640,000. The remainder, $400,000, will be paid to the “Estate of Freddie Gray Jr.”
The city agrees to pay $1.8 million within 15 days, to be divided proportionately among the parities, according to the document. Another $1 million must be paid by Nov. 1.
The remaining $3.6 million will be paid out in the next fiscal year. (link)

Yes, he actually did that.  Secretary Kerry has created a new position within the U.S. State Department to insure they stop lying…. seriously.  This is supposed to make us feel better.  A transparency “email” monitor within the U.S. State Department.
Of course, the appointed Truth and Transparency Czar is a career politician highly skilled in deceit and manipulation.  Go figure.
(CNN) – Secretary of State John Kerry has tapped a former career diplomat as an “email czar” to coordinate the State Department response to the myriad of document requests mostly related to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, which have strained the department’s resources, officials familiar with the appointment tell CNN.
Janice Jacobs will serve as Kerry’s State Department’s Transparency Coordinator, charged with responding to Freedom of Information Act and congressional requests faster and more efficiently and improving the State Department systems for keeping records. (more…)

A few days ago I took the time to read your expressed concerns about the support you see for Donald Trump and the state of current conservative opinion.  Toward that end I have also noted additional media present a similar argument, and I took the time to consider.
While we are of far lesser significance and influence, I hope you will consider this retort with the same level of consideration afforded toward your position.
The challenging aspect to your expressed opinion, and perhaps why there is a chasm between us, is you appear to stand in defense of a Washington DC conservatism that no longer exists.
I hope you will indulge these considerations and correct me where I’m wrong.
On December 23rd 2009 Harry Reid passed a version of Obamacare through forced vote at 1:30am.  The Senators could not leave, and for the two weeks previous were kept in a prolonged legislative session barred returning to their home-state constituencies.  It was, by all measures and reality, a vicious display of forced ideological manipulation of the upper chamber.  I share this reminder only to set the stage for what was to follow.
Riddled with anxiety we watched the Machiavellian manipulations unfold, seemingly unable to stop the visible usurpation.   Desperate for a tool to stop the construct we found Scott Brown and rallied to deliver $7 million in funding, and a “Kennedy Seat” victory on January 19th 2010. (more…)

We continue to put “refugees” in quotation marks because there’s nothing evidenced to denote or affirm the migrating masses qualify for such descriptions. Most of the migrating mass appear to be just seeking a better, more upgraded, neighborhood/lifestyle – that’s not the definition of what a “refugee” is; that’s just political opportunism.
However, French President Francios Hollande is exemplifying the leftist mindset. Again, it’s important to remember the U.S. State Department Charles Rivkin project was specifically targeted toward France for this very purpose; it’s working.  We cannot emphasize enough how important it is to understand “The Rivkin Project“.


(Via Reuters) France is ready to take in 24,000 refugees as part of European Union plans to welcome more than 100,000 in the next two years, French President Francois Hollande said on Monday, dismissing opinion polls showing public opposition to the move.
Hollande said he and German leader Angela Merkel wanted the 28-country EU to back a “permanent, mandatory system” under which each country would be obliged to take its fair share of a total of 120,000 migrants.
“This is a crisis, and it is a grave and dramatic one. It can be brought under control and it will be,” he told a news conference. (more…)

As a general matter we tend to focus most of our research toward the machinations on the other side of the coin, the RNC/GOPe side.  However, for Bernie Sanders supporters there is some commonality.

Did you notice that ever since Hillary Clinton’s worsening poll numbers the Wall Street financiers, who control the optics of mainstream media presentations, are now refusing to show head-to-head match-ups between Hillary and Bernie Sanders?
In every poll now (see below for yet another example) the media polling company includes Joe Biden as a possible candidate.  This is not accidental, it’s actually by design.  By adding Joe Biden the MSM can water down the Bernie support optic (he’s crushing her) and make it seem ‘as if’ Hillary has better polling than reality provides.
