At 9-years-old the only summertime I ever heard the phrase: “where are your parents”, was when we sat on the bar stool at the soda fountain and ordered 8 banana splits for both of us.   Well, ok… then, and that one time I put a curveball through old man Brennan’s passing Buick window…. but that’s it, swear.

(Reason.com) Just in case you thought you could parent whatever way you see fit in 2014 America:

A North Augusta mother is in jail after witnesses say she left her nine-year-old daughter at a nearby park, for hours at a time.

Hours at a time? At a park? In the summer? Gosh! That certainly sounds normal and fun like a reason to throw a mom in jail—and place the child in state custody.
Here are the facts: Debra Harrell works at McDonald’s in North Augusta, South Carolina. For most of the summer, her daughter had stayed there with her, playing on a laptop that Harrell had scrounged up the money to purchase. (McDonald’s has free WiFi.) Sadly, the Harrell home was robbed and the laptop stolen, so the girl asked her mother if she could be dropped off at the park to play instead. (more…)

Another example of Palestinian supporters violently attacking a peaceful Pro-Israel rally in LA.   Ask yourself when was the last time you heard of Pro-Israel groups attacking Palestinian Rallies;  like the one in front of the White House last week….  Or the one in front of the DC Embassy of Israel last week… or, well, you get the picture, it doesn’t happen.

(Via WFB) [T]he peaceful pro-Israel rally, organized by the Israel-American Council (IAC), took a violent turn at around 5:30 P.M.

Several men in a pick-up truck waving Palestinian flags pulled into the crowd and began shouting obscenities and spitting on the pro-Israel demonstrators, according to accounts provided by two employees of Advance Security Concept (ASC), which had been hired by the IAC to provide security.
The four Palestinian supporters eventually emerged from their truck with “sticks” and a “tire iron” and began attacking the pro-Israel faction after a heated argument, according to written accounts by the two ASC officials that were obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. (more…)

Obama’s buddy, Governor Deval Patrick, will feign ignorance…

(Doug Ross)  Not only is the Obama administration secretly flying convoys of illegals around the country, but they’ve officially been caught lying about it.
…Illegal immigrants are being secretly flown to Massachusetts and kept in local lockups in an under-the-radar operation that has alarmed lawmen who are raising health and security concerns amid recent spikes in detainees coming up from Texas during the latest border crisis.
“We’re all becoming border sheriffs now with these people being carted all over the country,” said Bristol County Sheriff Thomas M. Hodgson… “The blame goes all the way up. It’s a travesty and people ought to be upset,” Hodgson said. “This is un-American and has raised the stakes to the public health and public safety threat.”
…On the receiving end of the buses from Hodgson’s facility was Plymouth County Sheriff Joseph D. McDonald Jr., who said he’s seen a jump in illegal immigrants arriving at his jail and had to deal with “scenarios where we’ve had 100-plus detainees coming in at the same time.”… (more…)

It’s an inevitable outcome.   President Obama and DoD cannot allow Bowe Bergdahl to be found guilty of desertion and/or treason – it would make them look bad…. 

WASHINGTON — Six weeks after being released from five years in Taliban captivity, Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl is expected to return to life as a regular Army soldier as early as Monday, Defense Department officials said late Sunday.
Sergeant Bergdahl has finished undergoing therapy and counseling at an Army hospital in San Antonio, and will assume a job at the Army North headquarters at the same base, Fort Sam Houston, the officials said.
He is also expected to meet with Maj. Gen. Kenneth R. Dahl, the officer who is investigating the circumstances of Sergeant Bergdahl’s disappearance from his outpost in Afghanistan in 2009.
Sergeant Bergdahl’s transfer from the therapy phase to a regular soldier’s job is part of his reintegration into Army life, officials said. He will live in barracks and have two other soldiers help him readjust. (more…)

We’ll keep repeating this because it takes a lot of effort to break through the lame stream media narrative AS THEY AVOID – AVOID – AVOID.   
President Obama, and by consequence his water-carrying cohorts, are on the wrong side of the majority of Americans on the border crisis.

This recent article in The Hill, highlights the disconnect and the problem for Democrats in general.    In 2011 President Obama stood on the banks of the Rio Grande and announced “the border is secure”.   He went on to shout opposite opinion in that regard, “they want a moat – alligators in the moat”, was silly.
In 2014 the unsecure border reality has become the “border crisis”, and is now haunting President Obama and his cohorts in ideology.   They are beginning to twitch, visibly.
A similar analogy would be to compare the controversial issue around the Islamic Mosque proposed for New York, at Ground Zero.   The media and Dems worked feverishly to portray opposition as “bigoted and nativist”.    But the reality was the majority of Americans opposed the entire premise.   Try as hard as they would, it remained a losing issue for the Dems, but they held on to it as long as they could; eventually conceding collapse under the sheer weight of opposition.   Quietly the issue disappeared.
So too is this claim that expecting the border to be secure -from infiltrators of any ideology- is a bigoted position.   It just won’t sell.   Americans of all persuasions can see the depth of stupid; and when we say ‘of all persuasions’ we mean regardless of political tendencies. (more…)

Someone help me out here.   If you consider the 10th Amendment limitations on Federal intervention into state constructs – how is it legal that Feds do not have to tell the highest level state constitutional law officers of their activity, and worse can deny information when questioned ?….  Serious question.
NEBRASKA – Gov. Dave Heineman blasted federal officials Friday for refusing to give him details about 200 undocumented children who have been placed in Nebraska as the feds grapple with a crush of Central American kids sneaking across the nation’s southern border.
Nebraska Watchdog first reported on the children after U.S. Sen. Mike Johanns confirmed their placement on Thursday. U.S. Department of Homeland Security officials told Johanns on June 27 that the children were placed with families or sponsors in Nebraska after being caught or turning themselves into the U.S. Border Patrol.
The children are part of a wave of Central American children who have crossed the Mexico-America border and overwhelmed Texas facilities. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services by law must find a place for the children while they await deportation hearings, and if they have family in the U.S., that’s where they go. (more…)

“A lot of nonsense“?  Sharpton ?…   Jackson ?…    Jealous ?… Parks?….. Crump?……  Jackson ?…..  ANYONE ?

The ridiculous claims by Attorney General Eric Holder are belied by a wide range of diverse aspects;  I’m going to point out two.
First, as Holder admits he plays the race-card directed toward “some people”, not all people.   However, the stupidity of this deflection is inherent when you think of the result as compared to the approach.
Stating he can direct the playing of the race-card, toward specific personages is counter intuitive to the reality that the policy he shields behind it cannot be similarly divided.

You cannot defend legal policy, or the application therein, by saying “fill-in-the-blank people” won’t like this, ergo my policy is subject to attack by racist recipients, without yourself being racist as you consider its construction.
Either the policy stands scrutiny regardless of contingent or coalition or it does not.
If you assemble the legal policy based on the color of the skin carried by the recipient of the policy, then the policy itself is racist.

Meet the honest 27 year old single mom from PA who faces 3 years in a New Jersey prison

(Via Conservative Hideout) Shaneen Allen is no dangerous criminal. She’s a single mom working 2 jobs who’s already been robbed twice while traveling alone at night in Philadelphia. Her family suggested that she carry a gun for protection. She took a gun safety course, applied for and was granted a concealed carry permit, and bought a gun.
Then she made the mistake of driving into New Jersey. (more…)
