DHS INSIDER: The TSA is Letting Illegal Aliens Bypass Airport Security to Board Planes

By Judicial Watch

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is allowing illegal immigrants go around airport security to catch planes without a photo identification required of all other passengers, a high-level DHS source tells Judicial Watch.

It appears to be part of an Obama administration plan to expedite the transfer of tens of thousands of Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC)—mostly from Central America—that have entered the country through Mexico in the last few months. They are mostly coming in through the Rio Grande Valley in Texas and authorities there are incredibly overwhelmed by the sudden influx.

To ease the load, the Obama administration is transferring the UACs—more than 53,000 by the government’s count—to other parts of the country, including Florida, Nebraska and Massachusetts. Apparently a large number of UACs are being transported to their new destination on airplanes. Most don’t have a valid identification and are being allowed to board aircrafts with a slip of paper, JW’s Homeland Security source says.

Specifically, JW’s government source reveals that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is letting the illegal aliens surpass security at the El Paso airport in Texas. “They are catching airplanes at EP Airport, TSA is letting them go around security,” the DHS official confirms. “No picture ID, just a slip of paper.” This indicates that the passengers’ true identity has not been clearly established. It’s not unreasonable to conclude this could present a national security threat.

In the meantime, American citizens and legal residents must present a valid photo ID, provided by a certified government agency, before setting foot on a plane at any airport in the United States. The TSA, the famously inept agency created to protect the nation’s transportation system (mainly airports), after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, also makes law-abiding passengers take off their shoes, jackets and empty their pockets. We have come to accept this as a necessary national security measure.

QOTD: "What we’re witnessing now — with collaboration from the Supreme Court and many within the GOP longing for kickbacks from the US Chamber of commerce, whose push for amnesty is a repudiation of our laws, laws written and passed by the very politicians who now call us “nativists” and “racists” for wishing to see them enforced — is part of the logistical endgame. The left has sent out the message that our borders are open. And they are secreting anchor children into various parts of the country, knowing full well that by the time we’re able to stop them the electoral map will be forever changed, and the soft-socialist, bureaucratic, command-and-control regime they desire, run by elites who manage we subjects, will have the veneer of legitimacy once the ballot box is overwhelmed by those who are able to vote for other people’s money.

The move to crush the middle class, which is what Alinsky, via Marx, advocated (that is, the bourgeois capitalism that comes with free market, self-interested enterprise and the mobility of wealth), is being systematically completed through executive fiat, bureaucratic legislation, currency manipulation, and the importation of government dependents with a low history of assimilation and a long history of straining resources and Balkanizing communities.

The center cannot hold, as the Cloward-Piven strategy postulates. Which, in the mind of the Utopian statists, will lead to a great revolt in which the people rise up and socialism is begged for — even as the monied are at once demonized and protected, later to become part of the liberal fascist ruling cabal that has long been the end game of socialist political schemes." --Jeff Goldstein

THE SHAMEFUL SEVEN: American Turncoats

By Senate Conservatives Fund

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 earlier this 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 — FacebookTwitter

2. Bob Corker (R-TN) — $30,000 — (202) 224-3344 — FacebookTwitter

3. Rob Portman (R-OH) — $25,000 — (202) 224-3353 — FacebookTwitter

4. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) — $25,000 — (202) 224-5251 — FacebookTwitter

5. Richard Burr (R-NC) — $20,000 — (202) 224-3154 — FacebookTwitter

6. Roy Blunt (R-MO) — $5,000 — (202) 224-5721 — FacebookTwitter

7. Mike Crapo (R-ID) — $5,000 — (202) 224-6142 — FacebookTwitter

Second, it shows that the PAC then gave a similar amount to a liberal group to run racial attacks against Chris McDaniel.


These 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."

They also helped pay for fliers that said, "The Tea Party Intends to Prevent You From Voting" and suggested McDaniel would roll back civil rights.

And perhaps worst of all, they helped pay thousand of dollars to Democratic activists to do so called "canvasing" to turn out votes for Cochran.

OBAMA'S IRAN "STRATEGY": A farce of historic proportions

By Rep. Doug Lamborn

Winston Churchill once said “an appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.”

The U.S. has been negotiating a deal that will leave Iran—which the State Department calls the leading sponsor of international terrorism—on the threshold of becoming a nuclear state.

This is not just bad policy. This is deeply dangerous policy. And this with a country whose leaders are masters of diplomatic sleight-of-hand, where procrastination and deception are time-honored tools of diplomacy.

The Iranian foreign minister’s reported “bridging” proposal does not address the most critical American concern because it would leave Iran’s nearly 20,000 centrifuges spinning in place. Incredibly, under the proposal the US and Iran are talking about now, Iran would simply freeze what it has now.

There’s not an iota of dismantling. Zero. Nada. Zilch.

And in return for doing nothing, the Iranians demand total relief from sanctions. “Our nuclear technology is not up for negotiations,” Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani recently declared.

And this sort of thing is just another instance of a sad, sick pattern on the part of the Washington Post.


CONCEALED CARRY IN ILLINOIS: Under tidal wave of lawsuits, State Police agree to start obeying the law

By Dean Weingarten

The Illinois State Police have come under a lot of pressure as the magnitude of the lawsuits they are facing under the Concealed Carry License procedures has become known.   Even the old media in Illinois has been complaining that the procedures are secret, people are not told why they were denied, and this is not following due process.   There are hundreds of lawsuits pending.

They have decided to modify the process.   They issued a press release about  emergency rules on July 14th.   According to wuis.org:

In a memo, the State Police Director Hiram Grau cites these lawsuits as a reason for the emergency rules. "It is anticipated," he writes "that the volume of litigation will continue until the statutory framework is bolstered by a regulatory process."

Under the new rules, persons denied a concealed carry license will learn the reason, and be told what law enforcement agency made that determination. They then have to hurry to find evidence that proves they're not a danger to themselves or others or a threat to public safety -- they get ten days to make their case to the board.

This does not mean that the lawsuits will be set aside.   No one knows how the courts may rule, but it shows that the process will change, and probably more than what these initial reforms indicate.

Is this not a wake up call yet again? Does it not remind us yet again of 9/11 and acts that can occur in this country? I'm just saying these tragedies are not tragedies. They're attacks. They're intentional. And it's gonna happen here. It's gonna happen here. Because among other things, Obama is into his fundraisers like tonight in the middle of all of this he cannot cancel. It reminds me of Benghazi. Refused to cancel his fundraising event in Las Vegas.

You know what ladies and gentlemen? Let me be the first to say it and I'll take whatever slings and arrows I get. This is a very sick man this Obama. There's something out of kilter, there's a screw loose. Something's not right if you're president of the United States and something like this happens. Our ally Israel is at war. Where an airliner shot out of the sky. And let me say one other thing as I get to one after another here. I am sick and tired of the propagandists for Putin, who is a fascist. I am sick and tired for the apologists who [say], 'Oh well, has a right to Crimea. Oh, Georgia. Oh, Ukraine. Whatever.' Bullcrap.

The Cold War is on again. Not because of our making, but because of his. And because of Obama's utter and complete impenitence and incompetence. And you liberal Democrats out there, this is what happens when you take a man who a few years earlier was nothing but a community organizer and a state Senate backbencher and put him in the office of the presidency. You nominated him, you elected him -- you elected him twice. And the world paying the price. So are we. And so will your children and your children's children. And so will every damn generation after this one." --Mark Levin

How Twitter Can REALLY Monetize Its Reach

There was an interesting article in yesterday's WSJ concerning investors' concerns about Twitter as a growth stock.

After a troubling start as a public company, Twitter ... plans to try out some new numbers on Wall Street... When it reports second-quarter earnings on July 29, the San Francisco company is expected to unveil as many as four new metrics that it hopes will illustrate its reach beyond the 255 million users that log in at least once a month, according to people familiar with the matter. The aim: to show Twitter isn't just a diminutive Facebook Inc.


Despite doubling revenue for each of the past five quarters, Twitter's moneymaking successes have been overshadowed by faltering user growth, forcing investors to recalibrate their long-term expectations.

Twitter sizes up its digital town square by the number of users who log into the service at least once a month. That standard industry metric, called monthly active users, and a self-invented measurement called timeline views designed for advertisers to track usage, were the primary nonfinancial metrics offered to potential investors when Twitter went public in November.

But those metrics backfired after the company reported abruptly slowing user growth and signs of a less-engaged audience, sending the stock to new lows and raising unflattering comparisons to Facebook...

I personally don't think stats like monthly active users or timeline views are at all relevant for Twitter.

Think about it: the Twitter platform receives significantly more exposure than Facebook on new media sites like Twitchy and BuzzFeed. These sites embed tweets -- served up by Twitter -- as a key part of unfolding news stories, quite unlike any other social site:


Twitter doesn't appear to be making a cent from serving up content to news sites. The hope with embedded tweets, I suppose, is to convince people that they're missing out if they're not on Twitter. Which they are, of course.

But that said, these embedded tweets are a huge missed opportunity. Consider this hypothetical monetization approach:


Did someone say bacon?

Or perhaps a tweet with "media" (an image):


You may hate ads, but if they're targeted and relatively unobtrusive, the fact is that someone has to pay for your troubling addiction to real-time news. Natch.

Oh, and Twitter: my royalty for this idea is a paltry one percent of gross revenues, in perpetuity.

My Simple, 4-Step Plan to Stop the Invasion of Illegals

It's really quite straightforward.

Say you're the Mayor of Murrieta, California. Or the City Manager of Scottsdale, Arizona.

Some place that's just gotten a surprise shipment of hundreds of illegal aliens suffering from unknown medical conditions, have uncertain criminal backgrounds, and perhaps even some ties to terror organizations. You know, the Democrats' new favorite constituency: wards of the state who can't speak English, are utterly dependent on government largess, and know nothing of American history, traditions and culture.

What do you do? It's really quite simple:

1. Buy a few MREs for each illegal alien along with several bottles of water apiece.

2. Immediately purchase one-way tickets for each illegal on Greyhound to the nearest, wealthy liberal community. My personal favorites:

• Bethesda, Maryland
• Cambridge, Massachusetts
• La Jolla, California
• San Francisco, California
• Washington, DC

3. Assist each illegal on to the bus, hand them their supplies for the trip, and bid them a fond adieu.

4. Open a can of beer and enjoy.


You're welcome, America.


RASMUSSEN: Just 27% of Likely Voters Want Illegals to Stay in U.S.

Rasmussen has the details:

Most voters don’t want any of the young illegal immigrants who’ve recently arrived here housed in their state and say any legislation passed by Congress to deal with the problem should focus on sending them home as soon as possible.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 59% of Likely U.S. Voters believe the primary focus of any new immigration legislation passed by Congress should be to send the young illegal immigrants back home as quickly as possible. Just 27% say it should focus instead on making it easier for these illegal immigrants to remain in the United States.

...Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley, who last week criticized efforts to deport these illegal immigrants, is now reportedly the latest governor to tell the White House not to house any of them in his state. Fifty-seven percent (57%) of voters disapprove of housing these illegal immigrants in their state. Only half as many (29%) approve, while 14% are undecided.

Got that, John Boehner? Got that, Mitch McConnell? Got that, Karl Rove and Haley Barbour?

Pity the Republicans listed above are so beholden to the Chamber of Crony Capitalism, are so unprincipled, and are so inarticulate that they can't even take a stand for the vast freaking majority of American citizens.

MEET C.I.S.A. – Dianne Feinstein’s Latest Attack on Privacy, Civil Liberties and the Internet

By Michael Krieger

There’s not much good you can count on Congress to accomplish, but when it comes to introducing and passing oligarch-protecting, civil liberties-destroying legislation, our “representatives” are absolutely relentless in their determination. Unsurprisingly, the only “distinctly native American criminal class,” as Mark Twain described Congress, is at it again when it comes to institutionalizing spying and attempting a legal run around the Bill of Rights.

One thing that has become crystal clear since the Edward Snowden revelations, is that much of Congress has no problem at all with unconstitutional spying. Rather, they are primarily upset it was exposed and are dead set on making sure no other whistleblower can ever do the same. Enter CISA, or The Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act.

I’ve spent much of today reading about the bill, and have compiled what I think are the most astute observations. First, from the ACLU:

A new cybersecurity bill poses serious threats to our privacy, gives the government extraordinary powers to silence potential whistleblowers, and exempts these dangerous new powers from transparency laws.

“The bill would create a massive loophole in our existing privacy laws by allowing the government to ask companies for ‘voluntary’ cooperation in sharing information, including the content of our communications, for cybersecurity purposes. But the definition they are using for the so-called ‘cybersecurity information’ is so broad it could sweep up huge amounts of innocent Americans’ personal data.

“The Fourth Amendment protects Americans’ personal data and communications from undue government access and monitoring without suspicion of criminal activity. The point of a warrant is to guard that protection. CISA would circumvent the warrant requirement by allowing the government to approach companies directly to collect personal information, including telephonic or internet communications, based on the new broadly drawn definition of ‘cybersecurity information.’”

In addition to the threats to every American’s privacy, the bill clearly targets potential government whistleblowers. Instead of limiting the use of data collection to protect against actual cybersecurity threats, the bill allows the government to use the data in the investigation and prosecution of people for economic espionage and trade secret violations, and under various provisions of the Espionage Act.

The always excellent Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has also chimed in:

The migrant children ad appeared in a Penny Saver in Murrieta. As previously reported by The Inquisitr, hundreds of protesters stopped busloads of illegal aliens from being transported into the town for holding and ultimate release.

The foster immigrant children ad was placed by the Crittenton Services and Foster Family Agency – FFA. The Murrieta Penny Saver notice said the agency was looking for families to provide homes for both American foster children and “unaccompanied refugee minors.”

The Orange County foster family organization provides services for the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services.

Sounds like a good deal. Of course, President Obama will be long gone when the piper will be paid. That's not what I say, that's what the CBO says:

Earlier today, the Congressional Budget Office released its updated long-term budget projection, and there is not a lot of black ink in that report. CBO estimates that, despite receiving record revenue gobbled up from the private economy, the Treasury will continue to run enormous deficits over the next 25 years. By 2039, the public share of the debt is projected to rise from 74% of GDP to 106%...

...So what does all of this mean? Who cares about some banal numbers on a federal balance sheet?

Contrary to the perception of many policy-makers, the national debt is not some abstract problem that will only affect future generations once investors no longer trust the security of federal treasures. As CBO explains (page 10), this is an immediate and near-term problem...

...the relatively-low annual payments for interest on the debt, hovering around $230 billion a year, are only a temporary reprieve due to historically low interest rates. According to Investors’ Business Daily, “if Washington had to pay the average interest now that it paid in 2000 (6.4%), it would be paying $500 billion more each year to stay afloat.”

Sadly, Americans are used to navigating opportunities and challenges based upon instant gratification or imminent danger. Warning voters about the threat of our national debt to the future of their grandchildren is not enough. Conservatives need to make the case that the current level of debt is a mitigating factor to current economic growth and that it will continue to diminish their wages and job opportunities.


But, by all means, let's continue importing hundreds of thousands of low-skilled, largely illiterate, and desperately poor folks from the Third World! That should help!

REPORT: There was a "mutiny" within the Border Patrol after discovery that feds planned to disperse Murrieta protesters by force

By Mac Slavo

As the Department of Homeland Security and The Department of Health and Human Services scrambled to find food, medical care and shelter for up to 60,000 illegal immigrants making their way into the United States over the last several months, they came up with the idea of shipping thousands of undocumented migrants to detention centers in Murrieta, California.

Americans showed up in droves to protest the proposed drop-offs. So much so that the gatherings made national news. Swarms of Americans, many of whom hailed from foreign countries themselves, stood in the middle of the road blocking scores of buses as they attempted to reach their destinations at makeshift refugee camps set up by DHS and HHS.

Given the recent history of such brazen actions by American citizens exercising their First Amendment rights, it was believed that the federal government would step in and begin detaining protesters in free speech zones or temporary holding facilities so that the buses could get through.

But that never happened.

Now, a highly credible insider speaking with GMN in a recorded interview has shed some light on what happened, and according to him things could have gone a whole different direction.

According to the whistleblower, who has thus far remained anonymous for fear of reprisal, the Department of Homeland Security on orders from the White House was preparing to disperse the protesters with physical force if necessary. Federal riot police were being mobilized, complete with riot gear, body armor and armored personnel carriers.

When local law enforcement and border patrol agents, many of whom live in Murrieta, got wind of the plot they reportedly pushed back against the Federal government and themselves protested behind closed doors.

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
