(Liberty News) Just one day after Alabama Congressman Mike Rogers opposed the Department of Health and Human Services’ plan to bus illegal immigrants 900 miles to a FEMA training facility in Anniston, AL, HHS has backed down.  In an email to Rogers, HHS said “the site is no longer under consideration…”
That begs the question: Where are those illegal immigrants being transported to now? And at what cost to taxpayers? More importantly, why are they being transported farther from the border and scattered throughout the country with seemingly little expectation of being returned to their home-country?  (continue reading)
 

(Via The Blaze) Border Patrol agent Hector Garcia on Thursday accused the Obama administration of “aiding, abetting and facilitating the smuggling of illegal aliens across the border.”

In an interview with CNN, Garza said the current influx of illegal immigrants is “organized” and “orchestrated” by the drug cartels. Additionally, he said the federal government is giving illegal immigrants a “free pass.” He said the feds are using the equivalent of the honor system in asking illegal immigrants to later report to an immigration hearing — even though the majority of them will never do so.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

You might have seen reports today about heightened concerns for airline travel.   Some media reports are discussing explosives that can be hidden from normal detection methods, or similar.
Here’s a snippet of a report from the AP wire – something about the way this report is worded spikes the spidey sense.  (The emphasis is mine):

WASHINGTON – Intelligence officials are concerned about a new al-Qaida effort to create a bomb that would go undetected through airport security, according to a counterterrorism official, prompting the U.S. to call for tighter security measures Wednesday at some foreign airports.

The counterterrorism official, who would not be named because he was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly, declined to describe the kind of information that triggered this warning. (more…)

Former Secretary of State and key promoter for WikiLeaks, Hillary Clinton, is in England on her book tour. The ‘flailing book that few have bought’, book tour. She was paid a $14 million advance.  After three weeks of non-stop media blitzing  they’ve only sold 160,000 copies.
By comparison Sarah Palin’s book “Going Rogue”, sold 496,000 copies in the first week.

Thousands of vacationers in North Carolina were forced to flee the coast as heavy rains and winds were expected to pound the state’s popular flood-prone Outer Banks overnight and into Friday.

July 4th 1939 gave witness to the greatest speech in the history of American sport. No script, no rehearsal, no preparation.   Simple and humble words spoken from the heart.

Many people know the opening, and many more know the close, but few know the speech in its entirety. Please watch the tribute at the end…. For the love of the game.

For the past two weeks, you have been reading about the bad break I got.

Yet today, I consider myself – the luckiest man on the face of the earth.

I’ve been in ballparks for seventeen years, and I’ve never received anything but kindness and encouragement from you fans.

When you look around, wouldn’t you consider it privilege – to associate yourself with such fine looking men as is standing in uniform in this ball park today.

Look at these grand men. Which of you would have considered it the highlight of his career just to associate with them for even one day.

Sure, I’m lucky.

(Via Legal Insurrection) Pat Roberts’ absence from Kansas, and questionable residency, has been an important issue in the Kansas Republican Primary, which is August 5.
The issue has been hammered by Dr. Milton Wolf (whom we support), the leading primary challenger.
The Wolf campaign called attention in a blast email to a classic Freudian slip by Roberts today, when being interviewed today on the KCMO morning show with Greg Knapp.
When questioned by Knapp about listener concerns that Roberts does not actually live in the state, Roberts responded in part:
