Two weeks have passed since I first asked about a dozen people to direct me to pictures of Unaccompanied Minor Children actually crossing the border.   So far not a single person at/near the border has EVER seen a minor child alone – Not ONE.

Glenn Beck went to the border today to feed the unaccompanied children.  Here’s a few of his pictures:

(Via Daily Caller) New data shows the White House has painted a false picture of the Central American migration by hiding a huge spike in “family units” who are illegally crossing the Texas border.
The data, which was dumped by the U.S. border patrol late Friday afternoon, shows that inflow of youths and children traveling without parents has doubled since 2013, to 57,525 in the nine months up to July 2014. (more…)

It’s always the federal money that put states on the hook to obey federal rules…

WASHINGTON DC – The Obama administration, in July 2013, quietly introduced a new regulation that critics say will dramatically increase Washington’s power over local zoning laws in every city and town that accepts federal block grants through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

And it’s the federal grants that could be used as a hook in the nose of these cities, forcing them to house illegal immigrants against their will.
Some are calling it the “Common Core of local zoning” that has flown under the radar for nearly a year. Instead of the U.S. Department of Education dictating education standards to local school districts, this rule change would allow HUD to influence zoning laws from the biggest cities down to the tiniest towns.

(Via SCF) Seven Republican senators have now been linked to the racial attacks against conservative Chris McDaniel in Mississippi.   The financial report for Thad Cochran’s super PAC was released [last] week and contains two alarming details.

First, it shows that the following seven GOP senators gave a total of $160,000 to Thad Cochran’s super PAC:

• 1. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) — $50,000 — (202) 224-2541 — Facebook — Twitter
• 2. Bob Corker (R-TN) — $30,000 — (202) 224-3344 — Facebook — Twitter
• 3. Rob Portman (R-OH) — $25,000 —  (202) 224-3353 — Facebook — Twitter
• 4. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) — $25,000 — (202) 224-5251 — Facebook — Twitter
• 5. Richard Burr (R-NC) — $20,000 — (202) 224-3154 — Facebook — Twitter
• 6. Roy Blunt (R-MO) — $5,000 — (202) 224-5721 — Facebook — Twitter
• 7. Mike Crapo (R-ID) — $5,000 — (202) 224-6142 — Facebook — Twitter

Second, it shows that the PAC then gave a similar amount to a liberal group to run racial attacks against Chris McDaniel.
These Decepticon senators fully funded ads that urged Democrats to “cross over and vote in the republican primary” and claimed that a McDaniel win would be a loss “for race relationships between blacks and whites.” (more…)

Prince William County, Virginia has become well-known in recent years for its tough stance on illegal immigration. So you can imagine how upset some local lawmakers were when they learned that the federal government had contracted to house illegal alien children in their county without informing any county officials.

If your children are old enough to be in college, they probably think the country they were born into is falling apart.  If you’re a Baby Boomer like myself, you know the country you were born into is already gone.  It’s a hard thing to thwart the general feeling of optimism shared by most Americans during a beautiful summer season.  But, if you stop and take a thoughtful assessment of the disasters currently befalling our world, perhaps you’ll see that the fall might be closer than you think.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The summer of 2014 will go down in history as the season when America fell apart. Let’s take a tour of the disasters…

(Townhall)…Germany in 2008 enthusiastically hosted candidate Barack Obama for his so-called “Victory Column” speech. Now, Germans suddenly sound as if they are near-enemies of the U.S. Chancellor Angela Merkel reportedly was furious that her cell phone was tapped by American intelligence agents. She just kicked the top CIA official out of Germany, further enraged that the U.S. had recruited at least one German official to provide intelligence on the German government. Polls show that Germans find Vladimir Putin’s Russian tyranny almost as popular as Barack Obama’s America.
Japan is becoming similarly frustrated with the U.S. It is rearming like crazy to confront an aggressive China. Both Asian powers apparently assume that Obama won’t guarantee the security of the Japanese as America had in the past. (more…)

On July 9th 2014 President Obama made a visit to Dallas Texas for two reasons.   The first reason was fundraising, the second reason was to meet with Governor Rick Perry and “Faith Leaders” to discuss the border crisis.
As an outcome of the visit the following AP picture became the subject of much inquisition, humor and -as typical for the progressive side of the continuum- ridicule.  Liberals love to bash Texas Governor Rick Perry.

But the more important part of this picture was never actually spotlighted.  So we’ll turn on the Q-BEAM.

After poring through 3 days of immigration analysis this report does the best job of putting the proposals into context.   Things are not what they are espoused to be:

Analysis of Title I “Helping Unaccompanied Minors and Alleviating National Emergency (HUMANE) Act” (aka. the Cuellar / Cornyn bill)

WASHINGTON DC […]  The administration has been steadily increasing its projections of the number who will cross this year and next, as if either preparing the public, or — an unsettling notion — itself for the deluge yet to come. As is well known, the president declared a humanitarian emergency in order to tap resources from multiple agencies. His administration has also requested $3.7 billion in emergency supplemental funding to handle the crisis.
Confronted with the seeming inability of the administration to get a handle on the problem, Congress has convened hearings at which the secretaries of the departments of Homeland Security (DHS) and Health and Human Services (HHS) and other senior officials have testified as to their plans and strategies, none of which appear to have had any significant ameliorative effect on the flow to date.
Many officials, and some members of Congress, have pointed to the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (TVPRA) as at least partly responsible for the problems in efficiently processing and quickly repatriating aliens, which is generally recognized as a necessary deterrent to others considering the journey by showing them that the United States is serious about its border enforcement.

A simple couple.  Unsophisticated, ordinary and otherwise comfortably invisible.   Then one morning around 6:00am DHS EXECUTES A NO KNOCK RAID.

Federal DHS agents were caught on camera busting down doors, tearing a South Florida home apart and detaining a couple inside as they looked for evidence of child pornography.   Unfortunately, they raided the wrong house….

Israel launches ground attack into Gaza to defend themselves. A Russian missile shots down a civilian passenger airliner killing 290 people including 23 American Citizens. The Southern U.S. border is under siege, and against the backdrop the State Department responds thusly:

With U.S. priorities like this, is it really any wonder why President Obama would choose to continue his scheduled fundraising tour ?

Um, yes… to anticipate the obvious question ‘did this air on TV’? Unfortunately, yes.
