This is a follow-up to an ongoing issue within the Obama illegal alien executive action. Backstory HERE.

(Via Fox News) A federal judge sharply scolded a Justice Department attorney at a hearing on President Obama’s immigration executive actions, suggesting that the administration misled him on a key part of the program — and that he fell for it, “like an idiot.”

The testy court hearing was held Thursday in Texas by U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen. The judge suggested he could order sanctions against the administration if he finds they indeed misrepresented the facts.

At issue is whether the DOJ misled the judge into believing that a plank of the Obama program — giving deportation reprieves to thousands of young illegal immigrants brought to the U.S. as children — would not go forward before he made a ruling on a request to halt it. In fact, federal officials had given more than 108,000 people three-year reprieves before that date and granted them work permits under the program.

Obama’s executive actions would spare from deportation as many as 5 million people who are in the U.S. illegally. Many Republicans oppose the actions, saying only Congress has the right to take such sweeping action. Twenty-six states led by Texas joined together to challenge them as unconstitutional. Hanen on Feb. 16 sided with the states, issuing a preliminary injunction blocking Obama’s actions. (more…)

It has been said by those on the left that ridicule is a potent political weapon.

If that be a true intention or motive -and if that were the desire of the opposite political forces- the behavior of the U-VA students today could only be called ‘teeing themselves up’ for it.

Even the Washington Post, not exactly a right-minded media outlet, has trouble not injecting a pointed amount of ridicule (via humor) into their outline of today’s events.

The WaPo outlines a U-VA session today where students were invited to question local and state law enforcement about the arrest of Martese Johnson.

Don’t laugh too loud when you look at the poster of the students walking into the meeting and realize they must be psychic or something:

Boy they sure appear open-minded.

I digress. (more…)

(Via Daily Caller) U.S. Sens. Chuck Grassley and Thom Tillis have confirmed that a 19-year-old gang member accused of murdering four people, including a former reality TV model, was granted amnesty in 2013 even though he was slated for removal because of a 2012 drug possession charge.

Emmanuel Jesus Rangel-Hernandez is the suspect in question. One of the four people he is accused of murdering in drug-related killings in Charlotte, N.C. last month is “America’s Next Top Model” contestant Mirjana Puhar.

Another man, 20-year-old David Ezequel Lopez, was arrested on Thursday in connection with the reality show star’s murder.

[…] In their letter, Grassley and Tillis cite a Charlotte-Mecklenburg police affidavit which shows Rangel-Hernandez was arrested for misdemeanor possession of marijuana on March 30, 2012. (more…)

The race-baiting media was giddy yesterday at the thought a Mississippi man found hanged near his home might have been a racially motivated lynching.

Hours of punditry were quickly dispatched through the airwaves to advocate toward a possible narrative.

Alas, it appears no more than a simple, yet horrible, suicide. (more…)

A report on the substance and tone of the conversation between President Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu surfaces. Against the statements today by White House Spokesperson, Josh Earnest, the report outlining the conversation appears accurate.

There is no doubt President Obama is angry Netanyahu not only won his election, but won re-election with a considerable margin.

President Obama, John Kerry, and the rest of the anti-Isreal ideologues in the administration had leveraged considerable effort toward Netanyahu’s defeat. They are all now visibly gnashing their teeth and making threats.

To understand the current threats now made by Obama -toward Israel via the U.N- everyone must remember the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Samantha Power (wife of Cass Sunstein) has spent her professional career both as an academic, and as a governmental policy advisor, advocating the position that Israel “is an occupying force”.

Today’s construct of the pending Iranian “nuclear deal” is essentially the same construct that was outlined over a month ago. All sanctions are lifted and in turn Iran keeps centrifuges (around 6,000). The leaked details indicate under the retained ability it would take Iran approximately a year to fully weaponize enough material to build a bomb – and Iran has agreed not to build the actual nuclear weapons for approximately 10 years.

Obama/Kerry are relying on a point that U.N. inspectors will insure the Iranians do not build a nuclear weapon prior to the agreed timeframe.

Democrats and Nancy Pelosi will soon to the microphones to reassure the American electorate by claiming:

“we have to actually see the Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles, before we can, …well, um.. tell what is on them”

LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — The United States and Iran are drafting elements of a nuclear deal that commits Tehran to a 40 percent cut in the number of machines it could use to make an atomic bomb, officials told The Associated Press on Thursday. In return, the Iranians would get quick relief from some crippling economic sanctions and a partial lift of a U.N. embargo on conventional arms.

Agreement on Iran’s uranium enrichment program could signal a breakthrough for a larger deal aimed at containing the Islamic Republic’s nuclear activities. (more…)

Within the construct of this “media report” out of Philadelphia a discerning person will note how it was quickly called “a robbery”, yet there is nothing factually -within the noted behavior- to suggest it was a robbery at all.

According to the initial report the victim cried out “Please don’t shoot me. Please Don’t shoot me”. And then the three “teens” shot him dead. It appears, perhaps out of discomfort, law enforcement and the media are assigning a motive of “robbery” merely because the arrested suspects claimed such a motive upon capture. 

Or did they?  Their described actions did not indicate the same intentions. You decide:

OVERBROOK Philadelphia (WPVI) — Police have announced charges against two 15-year-old boys in the murder of James Stuhlman, who was shot and killed while walking his dog in Philadelphia’s Overbrook section last week.

One of those boys remains at large, and is considered by police to be armed and dangerous. Police say they have in custody 15-year-old Brandon Smith. He has been charged with murder, robbery and related charges.

A warrant has been issued for 15-year-old Tyfine Hamilton – the alleged gunman. Hamilton is also charged with murder, robbery, and related offenses. Lesser charges are expected to be filed against a third boy, who is 14-years-old. (more…)

If the GOP would cut the cord that continually binds them to insufferable weasels like Tom Donovan (U.S. CoC), they could campaign on this message and win massive electoral victories.

Alas…

When I say “alas”… I reference acceptance of the oppositional reality below: (more…)

(Via Fox News) US Army Reserve Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer (Ret.) said that the Army is pressuring Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl’s defense team “to basically cop a plea, to plead out to something, and that would avoid the embarrassment of the entire long-drawn out legal process” on Wednesday’s “O’Reilly Factor” on the Fox News Channel.

Shaffer, who previously reported that a decision and announcements on charges for Bergdahl would come in mid-March stated that he believes the White House and the Pentagon do not want Bergdahl’s trial going on at the same time the detainees swapped for him are released at the beginning of May.

It’s official Day #2.  CNN has decided there is enough activity in the #Hashtag social justice movement for Martese Johnson; they are now entering the preliminary stages of broadcast narrative advancement.

Here’s the general tone from the Associated Press – Note the: “if we don’t get it shut it down” chant – which is the original chant created by Anthony Shahid, the primary Ferguson agitator.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — Students at the University of Virginia are demanding justice for a student who was injured during an arrest and appears in a photo with a bloody face as he is being held down by an officer.

About 1,000 students showed up — more than expected, so the rally for Martese Johnson was moved several times, finally ending up at an outdoor amphitheater.

Many chanted: “If we don’t get it, shut it down!”
