WASHINGTON DC – The White House announced $254.6 million in new aid for Central American countries today.

The money will go toward returning unaccompanied minors who travel to the U.S. illegally to their families and fostering youth centered programs in their home countries, the White House said this afternoon.

The assistance to the governments of El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras announced today is in addition to the $130 million in aid the U.S. already provides those countries in economic assistance.
The U.S. has also decided to begin detaining families at the border instead of giving them court dates and releasing them. (more…)

Like Victim #22, Victim #23 is fortunate enough to have a police department willing to admit this was a pre-planned Knock Out Assault (though they still call it a “game”).

Video in link with victim interview as he awaits facial reconstruction surgery and also an interview with police investigators.

MICHIGAN – Ferndale (WXYZ) – The “knock-out game” has been making headlines across the country.  It is a “game” where someone tries to knock out an innocent stranger with one punch.
Now, Ferndale Police are investigating whether that is what lead to an attack on a man walking along Woodward Avenue.
It happened just before midnight on Sunday night as Edward Ewing walked across Wordsworth Street.  He had just stopped at White Castle for a bite to eat and was walking home.  He saw two men walking toward him.
“Was just going home,” said Ewing.  “Next thing I know I am sucker punched.”
The punch knocked Ewing out.  He suffered a concussion, broken jaw, chipped teeth, cuts, and bruises.   (more…)

The White House crew (McDonough, Blinkin, Rhodes, et al) know the toxic political danger of the current illegal immigration influx.   Despite the democrat narrative they know the majority of Americans are against this abject collapse of border control. 
Despite his own promotional advocacy which has led to the crisis, Obama has to deliver appearances of being on the right side of the people.   If the progressive ideology was allowed full sunlight Obama would find his administration in a larger position of impotency, and Democrats would suffer even greater losses in the upcoming election.
(WASHINGTON DC) – President Obama told his Mexican counterpart in a phone call Thursday that immigrants crossing into the U.S. illegally won’t qualify for legalized status or deferred deportation, including children.
The White House said Mr. Obama and Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto discussed “a regional strategy” to address the surge of unaccompanied children coming from Central America, through Mexico, to the U.S.
With thousands of children trying to enter the U.S. illegally in recent months, Vice President Joseph R. Biden will visit Guatemala on Friday.
Mr. Biden will warn officials and parents that illegal immigration is dangerous and that youth won’t be allowed to stay in the U.S. (more…)

(Via Sharyl Attkisson) Today, House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, (R-Calif.) requested that Jennifer O’Connor of the White House Counsel’s office testify next week.
In a letter, Issa requested O’Connor’s appearance at a hearing on Tuesday at 9:30a, a day after IRS Commissioner John Koskinen is scheduled to testify. The Tuesday hearing is entitled, “IRS Obstruction: Lois Lerner’s Missing E-Mails, Part II.”

On January 29th of this year, the federal government posted an advertisement seeking bids for a vendor contract to handle “Unaccompanied Alien Children“.
Not just any contract mind you, but a very specific contract – for a very specific number of unaccompanied minors: 65,000.

•  Why would DHS and ICE be claiming “surprise” by the current influx of unaccompanied minors on the border in June, when they were taking bids for an exact contract to handle the exact situation in January?
• Secondly, how could they possibly know anticipate 65,000 unaccompanied minors would be showing up at the border, when the most ever encountered in a previous year was 5,000 total ?
Here’s the bid specifics from [January 29th 2014] emphasis mine: (more…)

The same judge from the 3/16/12 911 call audio tape release injunction.
The same judge from the Zimmerman trial fiasco.
The same judge overturned TWICE by 5th Circuit court of appeals on pretrial rulings.
… now presiding over the civil lawsuit. Would you really expect anything different ? Really?

I think I’ll limit my opinion of this predictable train wreck to pictures.

SANFORD – A judge on Thursday threw out part of George Zimmerman’s libel suit against NBC Universal and held out the prospect that she may throw out the whole thing.
Circuit Judge Debra S. Nelson tossed the allegations related to one of five broadcasts and said she needs to do more homework before deciding about the others. Zimmerman is suing the media company, alleging that it falsely portrayed him as a racist.
He is the Neighborhood Watch volunteer acquitted last year of murdering Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black 17-year-old, a shooting that prompted civil rights rallies. (more…)

….Or they correctly identified the Brotherhood risks and chose to engage with them because of it;  it depends on how you look at these discoveries.

To contextualize this information, and understand why it’s all important, remember – you can replace the label “Libyan Muslim Brotherhood” (LMB) with the familiar term from Obama/Clinton talking points in 2011, “rebels”.

Remember, back in 2011, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was continually saying “we’re not sure who these rebels are“.  She said they were continuing to try and identify their ideology.   What these FOIA Documents reveal is that both President Obama and Secretary Hillary Clinton knew *EXACTLY* who the “rebels” were when they chose to support them.

Repeat after me: Emails are not stored on “Hard Drives”; they are stored on “servers”.

If your computer crashes, you log onto another computer and access your e-mail. E-mail is not dependent on the workstation.

WASHINGTON DC – Ex-IRS official Lois Lerner’s crashed hard drive has been recycled, making it likely the lost emails of the lightening rod in the tea party targeting controversy will never be found, according to multiple sources.
“We’ve been informed that the hard drive has been thrown away,” Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, the top Republican on the Finance Committee, said in a brief hallway interview.
Two additional sources told POLITICO the same late Wednesday, citing IRS officials. (more…)

You know something… I bet Michelle Obama actually believes this stuff.   It’s probably the water-cooler conversation around the liberal indoctrination centers because they don’t actually study history, they interpret it.    Ergo “the Constitution” is an evolving document.   The reality is all but three of the Declaration of Independence signatories were born in America.
WASHINGTON DC – First Lady Michelle Obama reminded attendees of a naturalization ceremony Wednesday that the Founding Fathers weren’t born in America.
The ceremony for 50 new U.S. citizens was held at the National Archives in Washington, D.C.
“It’s amazing that just a few feet from here where I’m standing are the signatures of the 56 Founders who put their names on a Declaration that changed the course of history,” she said during her speech, referring to the Declaration of Independence. “And like the 50 of you, none of them were born American – they became American.”
Obama pointed out that the Founding Fathers pledged their lives and risked everything to create the United States of America after signing the Declaration of Independence. (read more)

WASHINGTON DC – The roommate of released U.S. soldier Bowe Bergdahl testified Wednesday about the freed soldier’s questionable mental state and demanded that Bergdahl be prosecuted as a deserter for the “ultimate betrayal” of allegedly leaving his post in Afghanistan and endangering fellow U.S. troops.

Retired Spc. Cody Full, who served with Berdgahl in the Blackfoot Company and was his roommate, declared that Bergdahl’s “desertion was premeditated” and that the released U.S. soldier “should not be characterized as serving with honor and distinction,” as Obama administration officials have maintained.
