EXCLUSIVE: Chamber of Commerce Introduces New Logo!

It would appear from yesterday's article by Caroline May ("Chamber of Commerce on Immigration Reform: 'We're Going to Use Every Tool and Resource at our Disposal'") that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is the enemy of America.

As such, our year-round summer intern @BiffSpackle introduced a brand, spanking new logo for this vicious brand of anti-American crackpots.

The Chamber of Commerce has not been discouraged by the lack of legislative action on immigration reform. Instead, the business organization is digging in, pushing for an immigration overhaul as soon as possible.

“We’re going to use every tool and resource at our disposal. And we’re going to keep pushing our leaders to do the right thing for our country, if not before the election, then after—perhaps during a lame-duck session,” U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Tom Donohue declared Monday in a blog post.

...Donohue’s blog post did not make reference to the influx of illegal immigration, largely from Central America, that has resulted in a crisis at the southern border. However, at a news conference last week, Donohue acknowledged that the surge has made moving the ball on immigration reform harder.

“You’re damn right, it makes it more difficult,” he said, according to the Jacksonville Business Journal.

Despite the difficultly, Donohue stressed Monday, “We know that immigration reform will ultimately get done—because it must get done.”

These people are despicable.

They don't care about their children. They don't care about the country. They don't care about their communities.

They care about power and money. They are vile, simply vile.

THERE ARE MORE THAN 250 PROTESTS AGAINST THE OBAMA INVASION THIS WEEKEND: Will You Be Joining Us?

By Lawrence Sellin

Below is a list of 267 protests against our porous borders and the open invitation by the Obama regime to people from all over the world to come to America and receive myriad social services and other incentives AT YOUR EXPENSE - our taxpayer dollars at work.

This at a time when many Americans are unemployed and under-employed, government spending for entitlement programs is at an all time high, defense spending is dropping precipitously and domestic law enforcement is being militarized!


This travesty is already wrecking havoc by bringing DISEASE (tuberculosis, chagas, leprosy, scabies, lice, swine flu, etc), CRIME (human trafficking, drug smuggling, gangs, murder, property destruction), ISLAMIC TERRORISTS, etc., to our once great nation.

National sovereignty is fast becoming a concept of the past and the Constitution has been shredded (Obama and his DOJ are publicly signaling impunity for anyone coming to America illegally - even criminals and Islamic terrorists)!

The iconic phrase extolling our representative government as one that is “for the people, by the people, of the people” (Gettysburg Address) has been trampled on.

The days of our once great constitutional republic may be limited.

Please do what you can by attending one of the 267 protests this weekend (Note: So far, there are 41 locations in California, 34 in Texas, 20 in Florida, etc., and the list is growing).

QOTD: "[N]ow, I want to work with everybody — Republicans and Democrats — to move this country forward. But I can’t just stand by while politics threatens all the hard work of millions of Americans because we’ve just got gridlock in Washington. So what I’ve tried to do is take a range of actions this year to help working Americans with my own legal authorities — from speeding up big infrastructure projects to raising wages. I’m waiting for Congress to act, but in the meantime I’ve got to go ahead and do what I can do.

And in response, their plan so far has not been to join me and say, all right, Mr. President, you’re right, we do need to rebuild our roads; we do need to spruce up our airports. Instead their big idea has been to sue me. That’s what they’re spending time on — a political stunt that wastes America’s time and taxpayer dollars." --Barack Obama

AMNESTY "DISGRACE!" -- Black Chicagoans Hammer Obama for "Forsaking the African-American Community"

By Investor's Business Daily

Crime: A core constituency asks: If the president is concerned about unaccompanied children from Guatemala fleeing deplorable conditions and violence, what about fatherless children here burdened by gang violence with nowhere to flee?

Some 748 of the unaccompanied children from Central America have found their way to the Chicago area, Fox News reports, far from our open border and virtually unannounced to local residents or their political leaders who are unaware of exactly where the children were sent or being kept.

Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., told Fox last Friday that he was unaware of the exact locations of the facilities where the children were sent, and said he believes the White House did not want the children's living conditions to be made public.

The irony of these children being sent to Chicago, arguably the most violent city in America, where gang violence runs rampant, where fatherless children roam the streets with little hope of finding a job or a future, apparently escapes President Obama as he vacations on Martha's Vineyard.

Unlike the children of Central America, arriving en masse, the children of Chicago, facing conditions every bit as horrible, have no border to cross to seek asylum or refuge.

It hasn't escaped notice of the residents of Obama's hometown who gathered Friday to protest the president's $3.7 billion request to help Central American children escape violence while they see little being done to end the violence in which 120 people have been shot and 26 killed so far this month.

"You're spending billions of dollars in Texas, but we've got a problem right here in Chicago," said a local resident Friday, one of many from Chicago's Southside who assembled in front of the Chicago Police Department to protest the violence plaguing their neighborhoods.

They condemned President Obama for paying more attention to illegal aliens crossing our southern border than to the children of his hometown.

ARAB SPRING! ISIS Now Operating in Gaza, Yo

Two extremist groups have pledged allegiance to ISIS and indicate they are now operating in Gaza, according to deep-web chatter mined from ISIS online forums by new media firm Vocativ.

Despite official claims from Gaza that no ISIS presence exists there, ISIS support among Gazans is growing on Twitter and YouTube.

Vocativ analysis of deep web chatter in ISIS forums suggests that the extremist Sunni organization, which has taken over roughly half of Iraq and threatens Assad in Syria, has ties with militant groups operating in Gaza.

While Hamas has dominated Gaza since 2005, dozens of rival Islamist factions operate in the strip. Over the past few weeks, two Salafist groups have pledged allegiance to ISIS and claimed responsibility for rocket fire into Israel. As Vocativ reported at the end of June, the group formerly known as Ansar Beit Al-Maqdis changed its name to Al Dalwa Al-Islamia—which translates to “The Islamic State.” A few days ago, on July 10, the group claimed to have fired a battery of rockets at the Israeli town of Bnei Netzarim...


...A second Salafist terror group, Ansar Al-Dalwa al-Islamia (“Supporters of the Islamic State”), boasted of its own rocket barrage one day earlier, on June 9. Neither claim of responsibility can be independently verified, however ISIS has published details about both instances of rocket fire on their forums, which is tantamount to a welcome-to-the-network embrace.

Hillary picked a bad week to stop sniffing glue

The Masked Avenger relays:

It’s a bad day in Hillary land.

First it was reported that Ready for Hillary got outraised by Ben Carson’s PAC, then the Free Beacon discovered that the Hillary staff collaborated with the University of Arkansas to ban the Free Beacon from the Clinton docs, the New York Post revealed that Schumer worked against Clinton in her 2000 Senate race, and finally CNN reported that liberals aren’t so keen on another Clinton in the White House and want Elizabeth Warren, one West Virginia Dem said “I am very torn because I want a Democrat in the White House, but I’m not sure its Hillary. To me she would be more of the same.”

And a report from the Washington Post read much the same, with “several attendees pleading with her [Elizabeth Warren] to run for president.”


Seems that air of inevitability is slipping away just as fast as her poll numbers are.

STUNNING: UN and Obama rebuke Israel for self-defense, fail to note details like rockets and terrorism

By Anne Bayefsky

The 20th century job description of the United Nations was “to maintain international peace and security” based on “the sovereign equality of all its members,” and to do “nothing [to] impair the inherent right of self-defense if an armed attack occurs against a member of the UN.” 

But the UN of the 21st century has an exception clause. Every time Israel is attacked, not only does the UN fail to maintain peace and security – it attempts to gut Israel’s inherent right of self-defense.

In accordance with this pathology, UN actors manufacture a cycle of violence that begins with Israeli aggression; assert a moral equivalence between Arab terrorists and their Israeli victims; and concoct a litany of Israeli human rights abuses. They conclude that Israeli actions in self-defense are crimes, and Israel’s enemies are understandably, if a tad too fervently, protecting human rights.

Ceasefires are just opportunities to shift gears from alleging crimes to demanding punishments.

The events of the past week have been a textbook demonstration of this toxic formula.

The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) issued a “situation report” on July 9, 2014. It provides a “background on the crisis” that states:  “the latest escalation round started on 11 June when Israeli forces targeted and killed an alleged member of an armed group, along with a child accompanying him, and Palestinian factions responded by shooting rockets at southern Israel.”

OCHA could have started with something else that occurred on June 11, 2014 – a rocket sent from Gaza that narrowly missed a main artery in southern Israel.  Or the UN body might have started with the rocket attacks perpetrated by the targeted Hamas operative himself, such as the rocket shot at Sderot on April 21, 2014.  Or it could have chosen any of the other 200 rockets fired into Israel in the first six months of 2014.

Alternatively, a “background on the crisis” could have begun at the beginning, with uninterrupted violent Arab rejection of a Jewish state from the moment of Israel’s creation.

Instead, the UN body chose the routine of “it all started when he hit me back.”

Next on the bandwagon came Navi Pillay, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. Pillay is responsible for hatching the infamous Goldstone inquiry, together with the UN Human Rights Council, at a special Council session in January 2009. Goldstone’s report claimed Israel was deliberately targeting Palestinian civilians, as opposed to defending itself from 8,000 rocket and mortar attacks launched from Gaza over eight years.  Though Goldstone himself later retracted the slanderous charge, Pillay remained an enthusiastic supporter.

QOTD: "In an appearance on Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom” on Monday, Rep. Jim Bridenstine (R-OK) said that the southern border is controlled by Mexican criminal organizations and not the United States.

Bridenstine stated “we don't control the southern border of the United States the way the law requires right now but the transnational criminal organizations in northern Mexico, they control the southern border on the south side of the border. If you pay them enough money you get into our country,” and that many illegals “remain illegal residents in perpetuity.”

He added that the failure to secure the border endangers children by putting them in the hands of dangerous criminal organizations... “There are a lot of children there that have suffered on the trek to the United States of America. we're talking about cases where people were abused...when you pay criminal organizations to transport children, you're putting your children in harm's way,” he said. “If you don't pay [criminal organizations] enough money your children could be subject to forced labor, forced prostitution, sold in the slave trade, and in many cases many cases death. There are mass graves in northern Mexico because somebody didn't pay the right criminal organization.” --Breitbart

19 Illegal Immigration Facts You'll Never Read in Legacy Media

By Michael Snyder

Should we roll out the red carpet and allow millions upon millions of thieves, rapists, gang members and drug dealers to come waltzing into this country any time they would like? Should we broadcast a message to the rest of the world that anyone that can find a way to enter this country and somehow get to a “sanctuary city” can sign up for a plethora of welfare benefits and live a life of leisure at the expense of hard working American citizens?

Yes, those questions sound absurd, but what I have just described will essentially be official U.S. government policy if the immigration bill going through Congress becomes law. And unfortunately, Democrats now say that they have the Republican votes that they need to get “immigration reform” through the House of Representatives. If this amnesty bill becomes law, it will encourage even more illegal immigration and it will be one more step toward making the U.S. border essentially meaningless.

Right now, we desperately need the American people to contact their representatives in Congress and demand that they vote against this bill. Sadly, this is not likely to happen because most Americans have absolutely no idea how negatively illegal immigration is affecting this nation.

The following are 19 very disturbing facts about illegal immigration that every American should know…

How many Central American children have to die before the Democrats decide to secure the border?

By Lee Cary


Central American children are pawns in the Democratic Party’s pursuit of political advantage through an open Southern border.

Gilberto Ramos is just one of their most recent victims.

The Guardian recently told Gilberto’s story:

Gilberto Ramos wanted to leave his chilly mountain village for the United States to earn money to treat his mother's epilepsy. His mother begged him not to go. "The better treatment would have been if he stayed," Cipriana Juarez Diaz said in a tearful interview with the Associated Press on Tuesday. When he wouldn't relent, she draped him with a white rosary for safe passage. A month later, his decaying body was found in the Texas desert.


Gilberto, age 15, died a pawn in the Obama regime’s pursuit of his party’s comprehensive progressive agenda that aims to open the southern U.S. border to an unhindered influx of future Democrat voters.

The Obama regime’s official complicity in promoting the flow of unaccompanied, undocumented children entering the U.S. lacks the same degree of transparency associated with the civilian deaths in Mexico due to Eric Holder’s Fast & Furious gun-running, the White House’s involvement in the IRS Scandal, and the deaths of Americans in Benghazi. 

IN MEMORIAM: The Anti-Bill Ayers

By James Simpson

Few people have heard of Larry Grathwohl, but the anniversary of his death, on July 18, 2013, is fast approaching. We lost an American hero that day, but like many, he died in relative obscurity. That we don't publicly honor such men as a matter of public policy - never mind tradition - is a stark indication of how singularly self-absorbed, careless and contemptuous of selfless sacrifice our political and media classes have become.

Larry served with the 101st Airborne during the Vietnam War, and joined the Special Forces "Hatchet Force" teams. These 40 - 100 man units were sent on search and destroy missions in some of the most dangerous areas, to rescue and/or locate smaller Special Forces squads who regularly got into trouble with much larger North Vietnamese elements determined to wipe them out.

Returning from the war, he learned about activities of the Weather Underground and determined on his own to find out more about them. He subsequently became an undercover informant, first for the Cincinnati police, then the FBI. He was the only person to successfully penetrate the communist group, and his testimony might have sent two of its leaders, domestic terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, to jail for a very long time. However, Ayers and Dohrn managed to avoid prosecution on a technicality. As Ayers later said "Guilty as Hell, free as a bird. What a great country!"

QOTD: "In Chicago, a city of 2.7 million people, fewer than 8,000 people are licensed to own a gun – less than 0.3%. The city’s gun-homicide rate is about 18 per 100,000. In Vermont, by contrast, where 42% of the population are gun owners, the rate of gun murders in 2010 was 0.3 per 100,000. So Chicago has a gun-homicide rate about 60 times Vermont’s, despite Vermonters being 150 times as likely to own a gun. To put that another way, in Chicago the ratio of the gun-homicide rate to the percentage of citizens who legally own guns is nine thousand times higher than it is in Vermont.

That is not a small discrepancy. You can draw your own conclusions — demographics might be of interest, if one is looking for sturdier correlations — but it’s awfully hard to make the case that guns themselves are the root cause here, or that further restrictions of the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens elsewhere in the country are going to solve Chicago’s problem." --Malcolm Pollack

America's Immigration Policy in Two Cartoons

BREAKING: President Calls for Section 8 Housing on Martha's Vineyard to Accommodate Illegal Alien Children

By Biff Spackle

Citing a concern with diversity on the posh resort island of Martha's Vineyard, President Barack Obama today called for a massive local buildup of Section 8 Housing to accommodate thousands of unaccompanied alien children (UACs).

"To paraphrase a famous movie," the President joked, "'I see white people.' In all seriousness, our national mandate for social justice demands that we integrate Martha's Vineyard, which today is a haven for millionaires and billionaires, as well as corporate jet- and yacht-owners, almost all of whom have pasty white complexions. And just think of all of the thousands of construction jobs we'll save or create!"


The President's auto-pen in Washington signed an Executive Order commanding the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to build "not less than three thousand low-income housing units on the north side of the island near Lambert's Cove."

The units, according to the order, will be devoted to housing up to 12,000 illegal alien children and their guardians.

In a prepared statement, former HUD Secretary and current Governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo praised the move. "It's high time the pampered wealthy on the Vineyard experienced some of the pain all of the rich people have inflicted upon society. The residents of the Vineyard need to see what it's like to deal with high unemployment, scabies, high unemployment, tuberculosis, and crappy schools run by iron-fisted teachers' unions.

Obama noted that he would not be vacationing on the Vineyard this year and would instead spend three weeks in Hawaii.

SECRET FLIGHTS OF ILLEGALS LAND IN BOSTON: Feds Caught Lying About Increase in Refugee Transports

Not only is the Obama administration secretly flying convoys of illegals around the country, but they've officially been caught lying about it.

...Illegal immigrants are being secretly flown to Massachusetts and kept in local lockups in an under-the-radar operation that has alarmed lawmen who are raising health and security concerns amid recent spikes in detainees coming up from Texas during the latest border crisis.

“We’re all becoming border sheriffs now with these people being carted all over the country,” said Bristol County Sheriff Thomas M. Hodgson... “The blame goes all the way up. It’s a travesty and people ought to be upset,” Hodgson said. “This is un-American and has raised the stakes to the public health and public safety threat.”

...On the receiving end of the buses from Hodgson’s facility was Plymouth County Sheriff Joseph D. McDonald Jr., who said he’s seen a jump in illegal immigrants arriving at his jail and had to deal with “scenarios where we’ve had 100-plus detainees coming in at the same time.”...

...After weeks of denying an increase in flights to the Bay State, federal immigration officials finally admitted this weekend that four planes filled with detainees captured at the southern border have been flown to Hanscom and Logan International Airport since April as part of a “large-scale nationwide response” to the crisis.

As Glenn Reynolds observes:

So now you’ve got Massachusetts sheriffs complaining about the feds: “The blame goes all the way up. It’s a travesty and people ought to be upset. This is un-American and has raised the stakes to the public health and public safety threat.”

UPDATE: From the comments:

Secret camps, secret movements of human cargo. Almost Orwellian or Hitleresque... Just as mysteriously as illegals suddenly appear, makes one wonder when legal citizens may start disappearing.

The bar on paranoia has certainly been raised during this era of Hope and Change.

How can this possibly be legal?

Answer: it isn't.

Gee, maybe a lawsuit will help. Not.

There is an answer. A Constitutional answer. But our Constitution demands leaders with virtue and this we do not have.

QOTD: "Anyone paying attention to the Internal Revenue Service scandal has been waiting for the next smidgen to drop. Well, two more hit pretty hard this week. At the president’s next encounter with the media, I will scream collusion if no one asks him for his exact definition of a “smidgen,” and if he thinks he has seen a smidgen of corruption yet. At this point, only the most gullible or culpable can continue to claim there is no compelling evidence in this case. Given the delays, lies and stonewalling, there is no viable argument against a special prosecutor.

In a stunning revelation this week, it was disclosed that former IRS official Lois Lerner told colleagues, “we need to be cautious about what we say in emails” and then proceeded to ask the IRS IT department, in an e-mail, “if [instant messaging] conversations were also searchable.” When she was told they were not, she e-mailed back, “Perfect.” This is a smoking gun e-mail in that it makes plain she had a cover-up in mind. There is no other plausible explanation." --Ed Rogers

IRS UNION BOSS COLLEEN KELLEY: The Missing Link to Obama?

By Lawrence Sellin

On March 31, 2010, the day before the Inspector General's report says the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) began its scheme to target tea party and conservative groups, the White House Visitors Log reveals that President Barack Obama met with IRS union boss Colleen Kelley.

In a notable feat of investigative journalism, American Spectator reporter Jeffrey Lord exposed what appears to be an unholy alliance among the White House, Democrat members of Congress and the thousands of IRS employees, who are members of the far-left, anti-Tea Party National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU).

The NTEU, which supported Obama in 2008 and 2012, through its political action committee, raised $613,633 in the 2010 cycle, giving 98% of its contributions to anti-Tea Party Democrats. In 2012, the figure was $729,708, with 94% going to anti-Tea Party candidates.

NTEU's Kelley has a long history of interaction with the Obama Administration, first meeting in the White House on January 30, 2008, a mere ten days after his first inauguration, which she described:

"We are looking for a return to what we used to call partnership. I don't really care what it's called. For me, it's about collaboration."

Think about it.

IRS union-member employees financed anti-Tea Party candidates, while in their official positions blocked, audited, or intimidated Tea Party and conservative groups and were urged to do so in letters from Senate Democrats Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Tom Udall (D-NM), Al Franken (D-MN), Max Baucus(D-MT, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee which oversees the IRS), Michael Bennet (D-CO), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and Carl Levin (D-MI), as well as Rep. Peter Welch (D-VT).

RUH ROH: Federal Judge Demands Answers -- Under Oath -- From IRS As to How Emails Went "Missing"

By Judicial Watch

If there is a case study which perhaps best describes why Judicial Watch is so important and how we are different from any other organization, it is the record of success we have achieved in exposing the Obama Internal Revenue Service (IRS) scandal, in which that powerful federal agency was used to target and harass conservative organizations.

And that success continued this week in federal court, before U.S. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan, who held a hearing about the supposedly missing emails of Lois Lerner and other IRS officials, which were the subject of longstanding Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests and a lawsuit (Judicial Watch v. IRS(No. 1:13-cv–1559)).

The emails Judicial Watch has sought since May 2013 cover portions of the same period for which the IRS on June 13, 2014, notified the House Committee on Ways and Means were lost or destroyed. Yet the IRS failed to notify either Judicial Watch or the court concerning the “lost” emails.

You’ll be pleased to know that Judge Sullivan, like Judicial Watch, demanded answers and accountability. The lawyer for the IRS, Geoffrey Klimas, suggested that it would be “appropriate” to wait until its own investigation by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) concluded before Judicial Watch or the court get any answers through discovery. Judge Sullivan was skeptical (you can review the hearing transcript here):

THE COURT: More appropriate for whom, though, for the department or the public? I mean, this is an action filed by an organization that seeks documents under the theory that the public likes to know what its government is doing, so appropriate for whom? How would delaying discovery assist this plaintiff [Judicial Watch] and the public in learning what happened here?

MR. KLIMAS: I would submit that letting the Inspector General conclude his investigation serves the public interest. The Inspector General is –

THE COURT: First of all, we don’t know who this Inspector General is; secondly, we don’t know whether his or her report is going to be public, right, right?

MR. KLIMAS: That’s correct.

THE COURT: So what’s — so let’s just stop there. Whose interest does that benefit, other than the IRS and not the public?

Judge Sullivan was not persuaded and demanded answers, under oath, from the IRS within 30 days. Here’s a squib from his court order, which you can read in its entirety here: “For the reasons stated by the Court on the record during the status hearing on July 10, 2014, Defendant IRS is hereby ORDERED to file a sworn Declaration, by an official with the authority to speak under oath for the Agency, by no later than August 11, 2014.”

QOTD: "...the real news isn’t the [impeachment] proposal of Palin, but Boehner. Boehner would never go in the water [with his lawsuit against Obama] unless he was reasonably sure it was safe. If he and his merry lupine band are circling, it’s only because they smell weakness. They can taste the fear. Wolves have a developed temporal sense. They know that the prey’s status changes from hour to hour; it may still be strong now, but is it weakening. Awooooo.

The unfortunate truth is that, like a set of Matryoshka dolls, the scenario is repeated recursively. In the outermost doll level al-Qaeda, Isis, Putin and China are stalking America. Further on in unemployment is haunting the average man. And so on. Obama is merely the innermost doll of failure. The only question is which level of doll the wolves get first. The president’s blunders have endangered not just his political life, but perhaps the actual lives of individual people throughout the world.

If he could stop laughing for a moment maybe he’d see that." --Richard Fernandez

The Enemies Within

Trevor Loudon’s The Enemies Within: Communists, Socialists and Progressives in the US Congress is to be turned into a “game changing” movie.

Timed for release in August 2015, “The Enemies Within” will be like no other film ever released in America.

Production standards will be Hollywood quality.

Guiding values, however, will be 100% American.

The Enemies Within will name names and go where no one has gone in modern times in its quest to awaken Americans to the enemies within their own government.

Help restore America by exposing its internal enemies.

Our goal is to raise $400,000 minimum, partially from investors and partially from our grassroots support base through crowd sourcing.
