(Examiner.com) This week, California officials announced that they will begin issuing driver’s licenses to those illegal aliens receiving legal status under President Obama’s ‘deferred action.’
Since 1993, it has been illegal for anyone other than “a citizen or legal resident of the United States under federal law,” to obtain a California driver’s license. That measure was signed into law by Republican Gov. Pete Wilson.
However, as a result of Obama’s executive order amnesty, hundreds of thousands, possibly even millions of illegal aliens will suddenly become ‘legal’ residents. Therefore, Democrat Gov. Jerry Brown felt the need to grant them licenses.
The move basically discards the nearly two decades-old statute. (more…)
WASHINGTON – Saying they’re fed up with being told they can’t do their jobs, 10 immigration agents on Thursday sued the Obama administration to try to halt the president’s new non-deportation policy and an earlier memo instructing them not to go after rank-and-file illegal immigrants.
The lawsuit, filed in a federal court in Texas, adds a legal controversy to the political fight that has been brewing over President Obama’s immigration policies, which have steadily narrowed the range of immigrants the government is targeting for deportation.
The 10 U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and deportation officers said Mr. Obama’s policies force them to choose between enforcing the law and being reprimanded by superiors, or listening to superiors and violating their own oaths of office and a 1996 law that requires them to demand proof of legal status from those they suspect are not in the country legally.

Do not let the media frame this pending chaos on the “Anarchist” contingent of the Occupy folks, this is the Occupy Wall Street mainstream movement. The ones Nancy Pelosi “blessed” last year.
The media will frame the violent activity as ‘extremist’ to deflect accountability away from President Obama and Nancy Pelosi the same way they did when Occupy Oakland turned massively violent. Watch the bias framing closely…..
Washington (CNN) — Law enforcement officials are concerned about possible violence by anarchist extremists at the upcoming Republican and Democratic national conventions, according to an intelligence bulletin prepared by the FBI and Department of Homeland Security.
The bulletin, which was obtained by CNN, says that anarchists could try to use improvised explosive devices (IED’s).
It also says that, as of March, the FBI had intelligence indicating individuals from New York “planned to travel to Tampa and attempt to close” all of the Tampa Bay-area bridges during the Republican National Convention next week. (more…)

2) President Obama’s warning to Syria that the use of chemical weapons would cross a “red line” for the administration drew criticism Tuesday … The unusually direct U.S. warning on Syria’s weapons of mass destruction echoes discussion of the “red lines” that Iran must not cross in developing its disputed nuclear program. Iran has carefully assembled nearly all the resources it needs to build a bomb without crossing the boundaries that the United States and others have drawn — such as the expulsion of international nuclear inspectors or the enrichment of uranium to levels that would fuel a nuclear bomb.

During a North Carolina 2008 campaign stop Michelle Obama said:
“The truth is, in order to get things like universal health care and a revamped education system, then someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more.” – Michelle Obama 2008

It must be painful for the liberal base of the punditry to read this article provided by the Huffington Post. It points out the same predictive pattern that correctly anticipated electoral victory for the past 30 years. It also affirms what the institutional progressive, legacy-minded media do not want to acknowledge, President Obama will be defeated – resoundingly.
The key to crushing the ideological leftists who are hell-bent on deconstructing the national American identity is voting, just voting. If a representative turnout shows up on Nobember 6th President Obama and the ideological liberals will be crushed. Just like they were in 2010 which led to this electoral victory map for conservatives:
(Via HuffPo) Two University of Colorado professors, one from Boulder and one from Denver, have put together an Electoral College forecast model to predict who will win the 2012 presidential election and the result is bad news for Barack Obama. The model points to a Mitt Romney victory in 2012.
Ken Bickers from CU-Boulder and Michael Berry from CU-Denver, the two political science professors who devised the prediction model, say that it has correctly forecast every winner of the electoral race since 1980. (more…)
In a general sense this is not surprising per se’. However, when you evaluate the crony expenditure, and factor intent against any historical political reference with the media, it gets, well, a little more concerning....
WASHINGTON – The Labor Department paid out hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal stimulus funds to a public relations firm to run more than 100 commercials touting the Obama administration’s “green training” job efforts on two popular MSNBC cable shows, records show.
The commercials ran on MSNBC on shows hosted by Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann in 2009, but the contract didn’t report any jobs created, according to records recently reviewed by The Washington Times.
Spending reports under the federal Recovery Act show $495,000 paid to McNeely Pigott & Fox Public Relations LLC, which the Labor Department hired to raise awareness “among employers and influencers about the [Job Corps] program’s existing and new training initiatives in high growth and environmentally friendly career areas” as well as spreading the word to prospective Job Corps enrollees.
