You know times are changing when even Sweden wants to stop their heads from being lopped off. Normally the Brangelina Peacenik Swedes are more than willing to jump to their own demise than offend delicate sensibilities.

SWEDEN Via UK Guardian – Sweden needs “respite” from the tens of thousands of refugees knocking at its door, the government has said, announcing tough measures to deter asylum seekers in a sharp reversal of its open-door policy towards people fleeing war and persecution.

The country’s generous asylum regime would revert to the “EU minimum”, Sweden’s prime minister, Stefan Löfven, said on Tuesday, revealing that most refugees would receive only temporary residence permits from April.

Identity checks would be imposed on all modes of transport, and the right to bring families to Sweden would be severely restricted, he said. (more…)

Yes, it’s that time of year when the “Omnibus” spending kicks into overdrive.  Washington DC loves it when the electorate are distracted with the Holiday Festivities.

This year we taxpayers get yet another round of usurpation from the Progressive Republican GOPe critters, led now by Paul Ryan, who infect the spending body.

SPEAKER Ryan and his team of spending enthusiasts is getting ready to “bail out”, meaning give, the ObamaCare health insurance carriers an influx of EVEN MORE money:

WASHINGTON DC – […]  Negotiators are not close to a deal but are looking seriously at the framework discussed by Senate Finance Committee member Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., and House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., when the latter served as Ways and Means chair, tax lobbyists and House staffers said. The two lawmakers were unable to agree on the level of funding for highway programs, and negotiations stalled.

We don’t have all the details on this case (have not followed from outset) but we are getting swamped with predictive information claiming all hell is about to break loose in Chicago.  Reportedly a video shows a white police officer shooting a black suspect under arrest – Police have been very sketchy.

(Via Reuters) A white Chicago policeman was charged on Tuesday with murdering a black teenager, a prosecution that was speeded up in hopes of staving off a fresh burst of the turmoil over race and police use of deadly force that has shaken the United States for more than a year.

Officer Jason Van Dyke, 37, was denied bail at a hearing in Chicago’s main criminal courthouse hours after top Cook County prosecutor Anita Alvarez announced charges of first-degree murder. If convicted, Van Dyke could face 20 years to life in prison. (more…)

A Texas teacher has suffered injuries after she was attacked in her classroom by a 16-year-old.  She corrected the female student while she was giving a presentation at Skyline High School. The Dallas Independent School District has not named the student or the teacher, but a video that was taken of the incident was posted on Twitter on November 19.

(Via CBS Dallas) According to CBS 11 News sources, the 16-year-old female student was in class with other students and was giving a presentation. At some point, the student allegedly became angry when the teacher tried to correct her. (more…)

Last Sunday Pastor Robert Jeffress discussed the nature of violent Islam within his sermon.  Despite the discomfort, it is a discussion long, long overdue.   As stated within his delivery “it is time for us, and for government, to act”.

There is much plain-spoken truth within this 6 minutes.  However, I would nuance the conversation with our own families slightly differently.  While it is essentially accurate to say we are confronting “Radical Islam”, and/or those who believe in “Authentic Islam”, there is a more accurate term for what we face.

The behavior we are confronting is “Islamic Jihad”.  The Islamic Jihad has been a never-ending war against the West.  Christians, Secularists and Atheists alike are all infidels; and as a consequence enemies of, and targets for, the Islamic Jihad.

Lastly, there is something rather significant to consider.   Everyone notices there is a growing anger amid all people, on all sides.  (more…)

What a novel concept. We believe in liberty; we believe in freedom; we believe in the rule of law; we believe in being innocent until proven guilty…. we believe in freedom – but increasingly, our government does not.

It is becoming increasingly clear, there is a clash of ideologies between the Islamic East and the Secular/Judea-Christian West. The former openly declaring war and Jihad, the latter refusing to believe/accept it.

And by try, we mean generally failing miserably. 

By now almost everyone has awakened to how media manipulates and advocates.  It is very easy to see who corporate media support, both democrat and republican, and also increasingly easier to see why.

As an example the Wall Street Journal support Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio.  National Review also support Bush / Rubio – the establishment selections.  However, ideological alignment, and specific intent to create candidate benefit, should be noted and given attention when various levels of nuance are noticed.

There is another aspect that needs to be discussed regarding espoused views of “conservative media”. Everyone should pay attention to the Super-PAC spending, and campaign spending, as it relates to opinions that ultimately come from those media entities.

There is massive campaign spending taking place particularly amid talk radio formats (Limbaugh, Hannity, Levin, and Salem Media Networks as examples), it is disingenuous in the extreme not to notice the espoused views from punditry are impacted by the financial benefits afforded them via campaign, and special interest, ad revenues.

…Only it keeps coming disguised as at least eight Islamic Terrorists wearing explosive vests while shooting French people.  But not to worry international leaders will be there within a week to discuss the use of hockey stick graphs in combating the current EU rape crisis.

According to President Obama, the recently elected leftist Canadian Prime Minister, and various euro-socialist left-wing open-border types, the most significant danger to the citizen sheep amid our collective nations is “global warming“.

Well, they say it, so it must be true.

We can only reasonably reconcile reality and political pontification by accepting the term “global warming” now means “Islamic Jihadists carrying AK-47 rifles and explosive uniforms“. (more…)

The latest Reuters Running Poll shows Donald Trump extending his overall lead significantly over the field of candidates.  Ben Carson remains second, and Marco Rubio is in third place with 10%:

In addition to polling, there is another aspect that needs to be discussed regarding espoused views of “conservative media”.  Everyone should pay attention to the Super-PAC spending, and campaign spending, as it relates to opinions that ultimately come from those media entities.  (more…)

The topic of illegal immigration is a subject we have reviewed, researched and offered possible solutions for consideration for over four years. In Part ONE we outlined how illegal aliens achieve work in the U.S. and what would be needed to remove the incentive.

Any solution to solving the problem must first understand how the problem of illegal alien employment is supported by U.S. policy. In our opinion, removing those conflicting employment policies is something that has to be done.  A new example surfaced recently:

(Dade County Schools) […] Before hiring employees to work in the taxpayer-funded enterprise, the district of about 350,000 mostly Hispanic students likes to verify that candidates are in the country legally.

According to the Obama administration this is illegal and discriminates against employees in violation of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). So, the DOJ’s bloated Civil Rights Division went after Miami Dade County Public Schools (MDCPS) for discrimination and essentially forced it to stop checking if employees are authorized to work in the U.S.  (read more)

We have now had time to review Donald Trump’s border security and immigration proposals. Happily, he, and those who advise him, appear to be right over the target.

In addition to PART ONE “understanding illegal alien employment“, back in 2014 we shared the predictable impact of just enforcing the current U.S. laws on border entry – with the simple addition of a border wall.

Trump’s proposal carries: the border wall solution, the employment solution, the enforcement mechanisms of current law, and another angle that is strategically essential. “WESTERN UNION REMITTANCES” (Money Services Compliance): (more…)
