If you tell your neighbor your favorite color is blue, and tell your spouse your favorite color is green, it really doesn’t matter.   Either could be true at a given moment in time.
While owning a singular pet – If you tell your neighbor you own a cat, and tell your boss you own a dog, one of them is a lie – but likely doesn’t hold a consequence unless your integrity is called out by your employer in a legal action.
The only statement that legally matters is what you state when in front of a court of law.

Your favorite color, when stated to a judge, is considered the absolute truth – so too is ownership of either the cat or dog.   The fact you are under oath, in front of a judge, changes the relative consideration of your statement.
When President Obama Inc. (Pelosi / Reid) told the American people the individual mandate within the ObamaCare law was a penalty, he promised it was not a tax.
In front of the Supreme Court President Obama Inc. claimed the individual mandate was most definitely a “tax”, and not a penalty.   In the eyes of the court the truth was the statement made in front of the judiciary, the individual mandate was evaluated as a tax.
The prior statements to congress and the American people are discarded.   The “Truth” is what’s said in front of the court – in the eyes of the law, the absolute Truth. (more…)

This story is developing – more will follow later – but I wanted to point out the IRS legal position in front of Judge Reggie Walton:

The IRS lawyers are claiming True The Vote cannot “prove” any Lerner emails were lost, therefore legally the IRS cannot be compelled to explain “why” the emails were lost.

You getting this ?

WASHINGTON DC –  A second federal judge has now ordered the IRS to explain under oath how the agency lost emails from former division director Lois Lerner, the woman at the heart of the Tea Party targeting scandal.
U.S. District Court Judge Reggie Walton told Obama administration lawyers on Friday he wants to see an affidavit explaining what happened with Lerner’s hard drive. The IRS claims her computer suffered a crash in 2011 that wiped her email records at the time clean.  (more…)

Despite the media narrative to the contrary, the recent poll by Investors Business Daily tells the story of how -and why- Murrieta was successful against the full weight of the Obama Regime and pravdaesque media that were attacking them.

The majority of Americans agree with Murrieta and their steadfast protest.

There is NO-WAY President Obama, as the face of the federal government, was going to put his visible self against the sheer reality of the patriots afore him. 
The Patriots position is in the majority.   This is the same reason the Bundy Ranch was victorious.
MURRIETA, Calif. — Following a string of contentious protests in Southern California, U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced Thursday it will no longer send busloads of undocumented immigrants to San Diego or El Centro.
The immigrants — mainly families and unaccompanied children from Central America — were being bused to facilities in San Diego and El Centro every three days to alleviate overwhelmed detention facilities in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas.

By obfuscating terminology liberals sometimes can be heard to claim that President Obama has deported more illegal aliens than any previous president. NOT TRUE.
There are two types of border enforcement actions:   “Returns” and “Removals”.
“Returns” are those stopped at the border and sent immediately back; the ones caught.
“Removals” are those who get through the border and are caught later on.
No previous administration has counted “returns” as deported, until Obama. What Obama is doing is counting those who are stopped at the border, the “returns”, as deported.
To fairly compare deportation -as a measure of commitment to emigration integrity- one must look at “enforcement actions” – ie. those who have been removed from the country after they have successfully snuck in.
DHS Yearbook of Immigration Statistics – Enforcement Analysis – Table 39:

Even Obama himself admitted in 2011 he was fudging the numbers to make himself look better.
Remember, truth is a relative term:  “If you like your healthcare plan, you can keep your healthcare plan“….
Now, about that $3.7 billion…..

(Via Judicial Watch) The nation’s most violent street gangs—including Mara Salvatrucha—are actively recruiting new members at U.S. shelters housing illegal immigrant minors and they’re using Red Cross phones to communicate, a Homeland Security source tells Judicial Watch.

JW has reported extensively on the crisis created by the sudden influx of mostly Central American minors that have crossed into the U.S. through the Mexican border in recent weeks.
It has created havoc and will end up costing American taxpayers billions of dollars to house, process, medically treat, feed and inevitably educate the Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) which are being dispersed throughout the country. They are bringing in dangerous diseases—including swine flu, dengue fever, Ebola virus and tuberculosis— and occupying our military bases as shelters. (more…)

Before reading the Jeh Johnson testimonials, it’s prudent to remember what was going to happen as a result of the 2012 “Sequester Budget Cuts” –  The world was ending.

April 2009 –  After a Mid-East trip to Egypt to deliver his Cairo speech, President Barack Obama travels to South America for the “Summit of the Americas“.  The summit included thirty-four South American countries.  Obama wanted to promote his point that relations in North and South America can be heavily improved, especially after age old ideals on immigration and commerce are dropped.   Hugo Chavez warmly embraced Obama and provided a gift, a book titled “The Open Veins of Latin America“.  (link)

December 2009 – November 2010 – 100% of all political effort was leveraged to create and institute the ACA or ObamaCare.   All media oxygen is focused on ObamaCare 24/7.
November 2010 –  President Obama is “shellacked” in Mid-Term elections.   Loses control of the House of Representatives to Republicans.   Biggest electoral defeat since 1918.
January 2011 – Emphasis, and political strategy changes.  “Comprehensive Immigration Reform“, ie. “amnesty” becomes the mainstay approach toward retention of political power.  Throughout a contentious Republican primary season, to assist their ideological traveler, the U.S. media kept the issue on the front burner.
November 2012 – Election year campaign(s).   Using wedge issues like “War on Women”, and “Immigration / Amnesty”, candidate Obama promises to push congress for “amnesty”, under the guise of “Comprehensive Immigration Reform”, if elected.  President Obama wins reelection.
December 2012 –  Immediately following reelection President Barack Obama signs an Executive Order creating the “Deferred Action Program”, or DACA.   Allowing millions of illegal aliens to avoid deportation.  (link)

WASHINGTON DC – A federal judge on Thursday ordered the IRS to detail under oath how some of former agency official Lois Lerner’s emails went missing, as well as any potential methods for recovering them.

Judge Emmet Sullivan of the U.S. District Court in Washington gave the Internal Revenue Service exactly a month — until Aug. 10 — to file a report, which he demanded as part of a lawsuit from a conservative watchdog, Judicial Watch, against the agency.
Judicial Watch is seeking a wide range of documents from the IRS, including Lerner’s emails, as part of a Freedom of Information Act request. It has complained that the IRS didn’t tell it that the agency couldn’t recover all of Lerner’s emails from 2009 to 2011.
Sullivan cast his ruling as a compromise, and a potential way for Judicial Watch to get answers without the court wading any deeper into the matter. Judicial Watch had asked the court to potentially compel IRS officials to testify about the lost emails, through a process called limited discovery. (more…)

Most people don’t comprehend the nature, or scope, of the historical animosity between Illegal Alien Latino’s and African American Blacks.   President Obama spending $3.7 Billion exclusively to make Latino life better is going to make the Black Grievance Industry (BGI) seriously angry.   

[*note* If the GOP was smartly Machiavellian they’d block the Supplemental Budget Request with a Robert The Bruce alliance of convenience.]

(CBS Chicago ) — The Rev. Jesse Jackson and Mayor Emanuel are differing on where the fingers should be pointed when it comes to federal anti-violence help, reports WBBM Political Editor Craig Dellimore.
Rev. Jesse Jackson and Mayor Emanuel agree curbing violence involves not just police but economic development and jobs in high crime neighborhoods, but Rev. Jackson seemed to fault President Obama for funding priorities that appear to put immigrant children coming across the borders first.

“If we can find $4 billion for those children, and we should, we can find $2 billion for Chicago,” said Jackson.  (read more)

Structural confusion is a strategy, and this White House has perfected the skill of using confusion to outwit the opposition.

Various downstream factions of political opposition are predictably breaking apart under the flow of illegal immigration issues President Obama is controlling upstream.
People in Murrietta California standing guard to block the transfer of illegal aliens into their neighborhood;  and at the same time you have Glenn Beck loading teddy bears and bottled water into tractor trailers headed to detainment camps.
You’ve got Catholic social welfare organizations collecting clothes and food, while the non-borders crowd are beating drums in front of the White House demanding amnesty.
Middle America is torn.   Average people want the border secured, but advocacy toward that end will only result in the media labeling them bigots.   Somehow a reasonable desire for simple peace, and a secure border under the rule of law, is an extremist position.
Just about the time you come up for air – someone will scream at you: “everything is so political now”!
….It’s exhausting. (more…)
