This from a friend in ICE (I Can’t Enforce):Subject: Mexico asks the US to stop deporting criminals
Well, I already can’t deport aliens unless they have a non-immigration, criminal record. I’d like to think that logic and rational thought would prevail when considering the request made in the article below.
But we work for the government, so who knows.

I currently have an IA who is a drug suspect in one of my cases. He’s been deported twice in the past. If I can’t get enough evidence on him, I’m pretty sure they won’t let me deport him again.
That was the one amazing tool in the toolbox that ICE could use in criminal investigations that others could not. If all else fails, deport him. It’s one of the reasons why the locals and other agencies love (or loved, I should say) having us on task forces.
We had to sit through an 8 hour training yesterday put on by Microsoft, Proctor and Gamble, Phizer and a few other places concerning the pressing national security threat to the United States made by the importation and sale of counterfeit products normally made by their companies. I’m sure it was for national security reasons, and not because it hurts their companies profit margins.
It could have been summed up in an email just as easily. “Guess what? Counterfeit products are being imported and sold in this country. Some of the money, but not a huge percentage, from those sales go to support organized crime and terrorism.” Gee, thanks for the new intel. Never heard that before.
My new mantra is, “My check will hit my checking account on Monday...my check will hit my checking account on Monday...”
Don't be caught unprepared. That's the message in the parable of the ten virgins [Matthew 25:1-13]. Nineteenth century English poet Alfred Tennyson in his Idylls of the Kingadapted that parable to write this for Queen Guinevere, who learned too late the cost of sin:
Late, late, so late! and dark the night and chill!
Late, late so late! but we can enter still.
Too late, too late! ye cannot enter now.
No light had we: for that we do repent;
And learning this, the bridegroom will relent.
Too late, too late! ye cannot enter now.
No light: so late! and dark and chill the night!
O let us in, that we may find the light!
Too late, too late: ye cannot enter now.
Have we not heard the bridegroom is so sweet?
O let us in, tho' late, to kiss his feet!
No, no, too late! ye cannot enter now.

I am not just referring to the cataclysmic testimony by Chris Coates in front of the Civil Rights Commission on Friday, but to a yet bigger story with a potentially huge implications for geo-politics — the recent (and possibly ongoing) cyber attack on Iranian computers that may have temporarily crippled the nuclear capability (and who knows what else) of the totalitarian Islamic state.
Biblical precepts are often twisted by liberals to support socialism. Jesus was not a socialist. On the contrary, he explicitly disclaimed any political agenda. And the moral of the story in Genesis is not that we are, or should be, our brothers' keepers. Rather, the phrase comes from Cain's answer when God asks him the whereabouts of his brother Abel, whom Cain has just killed. Cain denies any knowledge, and adds the self-exculpatory question, "Am I my brother's keeper?" The point of the story is not that Cain was responsible for looking after Abel, like an Old Testament Nancy Pelosi. Cain was condemned not for failing to keep watch over his brother, but for killing him.Is Barack Obama My Keeper?
Actually, it’s not just the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee’s minority contingent that fears the loss of nearly a million jobs from new EPA rules on greenhouse gases and other emissions issues. It’s also groups like the United Steel Workers, Unions for Jobs and the Environment, and experts like King’s College Professor Ragnar Lofstedt. Hot Air got an exclusive look at a report that the EPW minority staff will release later this morning detailing the economic damage that an activist EPA will do to the American economy, and which will come at perhaps the worst possible time, both economically and politically....we can expect more pollution, not less — just outsourced along with the jobs in the industry!

I now know why men who have been to war yearn to reunite. Not to tell stories or look at old photographs; not to laugh or weep. Comrades gather because they long to be with the men who once acted at their best; men who suffered and sacrificed, who suffered and were stripped of their humanity.
I did not pick these men. They were delivered by fate and the military. But I know them in a way I know no other men. I have never given anyone such trust. They were willing to guard something more precious than my life. They would have carried my reputation, the memory of me. It was part of a bargain we all made, the reason we were so willing to die for one another.
As long as I have a memory, I will think of them all day, everyday. I am sure that when I leave this world, my last thought will be of my family and my comrades--such good men."

In a letter obtained by Fox News, the DIA says national security could be breached if "Operation Dark Heart" is published in its current form. The agency also attempted to block key portions of the book that claim "Able Danger" successfully identified hijacker Mohammed Atta as a threat to the United States before the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.
The Democratic Leadership in the Congress made a pretty big strategic mistake on Thursday. They, for all intent and purposes, announced that they will raise your taxes on January 1, 2011. They did so plainly, and I tend to believe them. They did so without remorse. They did so acting as though no one would really care. And they did so after--for weeks--publicly discussing the possibility of retaining the current tax rates.Dems: We Will Hammer The Poor
They did so, though they have been warned that in doing so they would deliver a crushing blow to small businesses in America. It is important to admit and to be as transparent as possible: when you hurt small business in America, you hurt the working men and women of America. You hurt families. You hurt those you care about most.

CONCLUSION:
This Heartland Policy Study has explained how Obamacare represents nothing less than a government takeover of health care in America. It will cause spending to skyrocket, care to be rationed, and taxes and government deficits to rise. It breaks all the promises candidate and then President Obama made about access to care, taxes, and the deficit. And it was all unnecessary: Much simpler reforms could have been adopted providing for a complete health care safety net, ensuring that everyone will have access to essential health care. Real health care reform would provide maximum power, control, and choice to patients and the doctors they have chosen for their health care. The key to making that work is not more government control and spending, but reforms that provide patients with market incentives to control the costs of their care, eliminating all forms of thirdparty health care rationing.
Obamacare is a disaster. Rather than liberate the American health care system from bureaucracy and waste, it blankets it with more of both, suffocating innovation and destroying freedom. The result is a system that is inconsistent with the freedom, prosperity, high living standards, and traditions of the American people.
Those who earn more than $200,000 annually are among the ones who create most of the new jobs and fund new investment—the engines of economic growth. Without these jobs and new investment, the economy will be smaller and throw off less tax revenue...Tax Cuts and Revenue: What We Learned in the 1980s
People will go to great lengths to avoid paying high tax rates, including reducing work effort and taxable savings and investments, or even finding illegal means to avoid the tax collector. But it takes time for them to do so...
The Obama administration also ignores the fact that many upper-income people obtain significant portions of their income from capital gains and dividends. The capital gains tax is going to increase to 20% from 15% in 2011 and, thanks to ObamaCare, to 23.8% in 2013. The tax on dividends is going to increase to a maximum rate of 39.6% in 2011 and once again, thanks to ObamaCare, to 43.4% by 2013.
These rates are self-defeating. The nonpartisan Institute for Research on the Economics of Taxation, headed by a former senior U.S. Treasury economist, Steve Entin, has recently published studies on the effects of the Obama administration's tax increases on capital gains. Their analyses show that increasing the capital-gains tax rate would result in lower tax revenue and higher deficits. The studies are also congruent with the historical experience of the last 40 years...
We hear the White House is now floating a compromise that would extend the middle-class tax cuts for four years, and those on higher earners for only two years. We hope the GOP doesn't fall for what is a transparent scheme to make it easier to let the rates on higher earners expire the next time around. If Mr. Obama wants a deal on taxes, Republicans should demand that he cooperate on pro-growth tax cuts, or a tax reform that lowers rates in return for ending loopholes...The Democratic Tax Retreat
The policies of spend, tax and regulate have undermined the recovery, causing capital to flee to Asia or the sideline and employers to forswear or delay new hiring. The American public has listened and watched and is slowly concluding that the hope they placed in these "progressive" policies was mistaken. This political reality is slowly dawning on Democrats, which is why so many of them are now denying paternity for the policies of the last four years.
There are major, important differences between the COLB Obama has produced and a long-form birth certificate. An official long-form birth certificate is an exact photocopy of the original birth record prepared by the hospital or attending physician at the time of a child's birth. Such a document usually includes parents' information (address of residence, race, birthplace, date of birth, etc.), additional information on the child's birthplace and information on the doctors who assisted in the birth. The long form also usually includes the signature of the doctor involved and of at least one of the parents.
The short form COLB which Obama has made public is a computer-generated certification that lists the child's name, date of birth, gender, place of birth and time, and the names of Obama's parents. No birth hospital or doctor is listed.
In 1961, the year of Obama's birth, there were a number of ways to obtain a Hawaiian COLB that would leave open the possibility of the child being born outside the state.
One way included one parent providing the state with proof of residence in Hawaii as well as a pre-natal and post-natal certification by a physician. The pre-natal report would certify the mother was pregnant. The post-natal report would certify an examination of a newborn baby. This leaves open the possibility of a child being born outside of Hawaii but still receiving a state COLB.
Other methods included obtaining a "Delayed Certificate," but that would be noted on the certificate itself.
Meanwhile, even today it is still possible to obtain a COLB for a child born outside of Hawaii, the book found.
Two Hawaiian newspaper announcements from 1961 support the assertion of Obama's Hawaiian birth. However, both the newspapers in question, the Honolulu Star-Bulletin and the Honolulu Advertiser, simply reprint birth information they receive from Hawaii's Department of Health, meaning Obama's parents did not have to place the announcements in the papers.
"Fukino's extremely careful statement actually raises more questions than it answers. Which documents did she review? Was she referring only to Obama's short-form COLB? Perhaps she was referring to pre-natal and post-natal certifications that could technically allow for a parent to obtain a COLB for a child not born in Hawaii."
Since Obama took office, ten of the most active conservative donors identified by a POLITICO analysis have contributed $19 million to Republican candidates and the political committees that boost them — a pace that far eclipses their giving at this point in the 2006 and 2008 election cycles, according to professional fundraisers, as well as anything big Democratic donors have done.GOP's big money men return
Buried deep inside the new "financial reform" law is a scheme to force affirmative action on small-business lending -- a "reform" with ominous implications for the US economy. Aimed at curtailing supposed discrimination, the race-based lending mandate is guaranteed to have perverse effects -- just like the drive for "racial fairness" in mortgage lending paved the way for the subprime crisis and the 2008 financial meltdown.O's latest biz-killer
While the mainstream media covers most legislation being debated on the floors of both houses of the US Congress, it is the presidential executive orders that are implemented with enormous impact on the lives of American citizens that should be exposed.Making Congress irrelevant:
"What troubles many Americans -- at least those aware of this latest Obama power grab, is that last year an agreement with Canada -- defined as a Civil Assistance Plan -- that was not submitted to Congress for debate and approval, nor did Congress pass any law or treaty specifically authorizing this military agreement to combine the operations of the armed forces of the United States and Canada in the event of domestic civil disturbances ranging from violent storms, to health epidemics, to civil riots or terrorist attacks," explains Baker.Will our military (or another country's military) fire upon U.S. Citizens?
In Canada the agreement paving the way for the militaries of the US and Canada to cross each other's borders to fight domestic emergencies was not announced either by Prime Minister Harper's administration or the Canadian military. The agreement met with protests and demonstrations by Canadians opposed to such treaties with the US.
"This is a military plan that's designed to bypass the Posse Comitatus Act that traditionally prohibited the US military from operating within the borders of the United States. Not only will American soldiers be deployed at the discretion of whoever is sitting in the Oval Office, but foreign soldiers will also be deployed in American cities," warns former intelligence officer and police detective Sid Franes.Obama executive order angers US Constitutionalists

September 20, 2010It sickens me that we are all going to be destroyed by the abomination known as "Obamacare" (Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act) as it just keeps on steamrolling over us in the next several years. Please vote against the idiots who forced this down our throats in November!
I am writing today to request your help in trying to stop one of the most troubling aspects of the healthcare reform program, which is the institution of healthcare exchanges.
These are government-run programs where eventually virtually everyone will be forced into them for your purchase of health insurance.
These plans, as it stands now, will only be offering 4 different choices of benefits, plus one catastrophic plan, instead of all of the choices we currently have.
As you may be aware, currently for small groups there are some 250 choices of plans from the brand name carriers and for individuals there are almost 200 options, so you really have a choice of plans that work best for you.
There is a possibility some of our current plans can be included into the exchange, but there are a number of qualifications that can eliminate most of those plans.
The second concern is the cost. The first estimate is that it is going to run $1 billion to set this up. Also, the entire program will be run by a 5-member board and those 5 members will be strictly political appointments. So you will have 5 political appointees making decisions on billions of dollars spent on healthcare in California.
They will not only determine how the money is spent, they will also have a say in exactly what those plans will cover.
The Chamber of Commerce is also considering going to battle against this.
Should this go into place, we would still be able to help you with plan choices, but it is a huge restriction on your options.
I have attached a letter that reviews some of these points and if you agree that you would rather not have the government run your healthcare, then please forward this on to Governor Schwarzenegger. He may well approve this plan but he has not yet done so and still has an opportunity to stop this for the time being.
Because of the restrictions on emails and attachments sent to the Governor’s office, the recommendation is that you fax this letter to him. His fax number is 916-558-3160.
Should there be no changes in this reform plan, then there will be some type of exchange set up, but it might not be near as restrictive as the one California is attempting to pass.
This is supposed to go into force in 2014, although the California legislature may try to push some of this through sooner.
There is another aspect to the federal healthcare reform program which you might not be aware of, and that is the requirement for business owners to report to the IRS any payments they make of $600 or more to any vendor during the course of the year.
The theory is that by doing all this reporting, somehow they will track down fraud and that will help pay some of the costs of this healthcare program. It is, of course, an onerous responsibility for business owners.
At present, the plan is to hire an additional 18,000 IRS agents to monitor employer compliance.
Again, the attached letter is strictly about the healthcare exchanges. The other measure is part of the national reform program.
There has been some movement in the US Senate among both Republicans and Democrats to take this out of the reform package. I am sad to say that late last week the senate rejected removing this, so this likely will be something that small business owners will have to face.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call me.
Last week, Congressman Paul Ryan and I published an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal entitled “The Size of Government and the Choice This Fall.” The article argues that Americans must make a choice in favor of their traditional free enterprise system or else they will lose it. Why? Because otherwise the choice will be made for them—a rejection of free enterprise and an embrace of big government, not in one fell swoop but one seemingly small, creeping government expansion at a time.Read more

The US Patriots Union evolved from a test entity formed in November 2009, which sought to convert patriotic rally energy into real actions across the country. Now is the time, and there must be a place and a way for like-minded patriots to unify in strategic action, combining individual talents and resources in a collective effort to return the power to the right people.
This is a "union" designed to confront all of the other corrupt "unions" – corrupted lawyers and anti-American international socialists who have collectively destroyed the freest most productive society on earth.
Patriots Union members will finally have real representation backed by a war chest able to move the constitutional conservative ball forward, even against overwhelming odds.
The Patriots Union is only the vehicle. It’s the people who must take the action to take their nation back. It's "the People" who matter most!
