BOOM: Rating the GOP field on Amnesty
Jeb Bush
"...Jeb, as we all know, supports amnesty for illegal aliens, and he's proud of it. If he were running in Honduras, I would vote for him in a minute..."
Marco Rubio
"...Rubio co-authored a bill that would have given amnesty to illegal aliens. He has since tried to walk back from that..."
Chris Christie
"...Chris has been cagey on the subject, but one thing is clear: he ordered his appointee to Frank Lautenberg's Senate seat to vote for Marco Rubio's amnesty bill..."
Rick Perry
"...Perry is tough on illegal immigrants! He sent a handful of national guard troops to the border! (With orders not to arrest any illegals.) But as for those illegals who manage to slip through this imposing gauntlet, Perry rewards them with taxpayer-subsidized college educations. If he's paying for illegals to go to college, I think it's safe to say he supports amnesty..."
Mike Huckabee
"...in February 2007, Huckabee ... stated, 'We shouldn't have amnesty where we just say, "Fine, everybody's good, we're going to let it go.' We should have a process where people can pay the penalties, step up and accept responsibility for not being here legally..."
Scott Walker
"...Walker backed the McCain-Kennedy amnesty bill in 2006... [and] went as far as to tell POLITICO in 2013 that he supported a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants..."
Rand Paul
"...Paul claims he's against amnesty, but he voted for an amendment to give 2 million 'temporary' visas to illegal aliens annually...who could then apply for citizenship. It looks like amnesty to me..."
Ted Cruz
"Cruz is the only major candidate who has never supported or endorsed amnesty."
As they say on the real blogs, read the whole thing.

QOTD: "On Monday, 144 people were rescued by the Italian coastguard when the boat on which they were fleeing Libya capsized in the Mediterranean. Arriving homeless and without prospects in a strange land, these were — relatively speaking — the lucky ones. As many as 400 are thought to have drowned. Add them to the tally. Last year more than 3,000 died in the Mediterranean trying to get to the West. It has become a phenomenon of our times.
We do not hear much about life in the supposedly liberated Libya, but the fact that entire families were willing to risk the treacherous crossing gives a fair idea...
...As Libya collapses into violence, its great friends in London and Washington have effectively turned a blind eye." --The Spectator

Obama toadie Jeb Bush backs confirmation of radical leftist Loretta Lynch as Attorney General
Obama has been trying to get Loretta Lynch confirmed as the new head of the Department of Justice but the Senate has been dragging its feet.
This is a woman who has refused to say if she would investigate Hillary’s email violations and said that illegals have every right to work here in the USA like legal citizens do.But Jeb says she deserves to be confirmed.
Answering questions at a town hall with New Hampshire primary voters at the Snowshoe Club, Bush, an all-but-announced Republican presidential candidate, stopped short of explicitly calling for Lynch’s confirmation. Her nomination to replace Attorney General Eric Holder has been stalled for an unusually long 160 days over a Senate showdown on an unrelated sex-trafficking bill that includes a controversial abortion provision.
“I think that Presidents have the right to pick their team,” Bush told a crowd of about 95 voters and a horde of media.
Once again we see Jeb leaning left. He is a big government guy on education with his support of the failed Common Core policy and he is an open borders type who openly supports Obama’s un-Constitutional amnesty.

ISIS ON THE SOUTHERN BORDER: Judicial Watch blows the lid off another Obama scandal
Judicial Watch is proving itself the most resourceful and impactful educational organizations in the nation. No other media outlet, no congressional committee, and no other non-governmental organization can match JW’s successes in ferreting out what the government doesn’t want you know. On the issue of terrorism and the border, JW’s journalism this week had an international impact. On April 14, our Corruption Chronicles published the following extraordinary report on ISIS operations in Mexico and in the United States:
ISIS is operating a camp just a few miles from El Paso, Texas, according to Judicial Watch sources that include a Mexican Army field grade officer and a Mexican Federal Police Inspector.
The exact location where the terrorist group has established its base is around eight miles from the U.S. border in an area known as “Anapra” situated just west of Ciudad Juárez in the Mexican state of Chihuahua. Another ISIS cell to the west of Ciudad Juárez, in Puerto Palomas, targets the New Mexico towns of Columbus and Deming for easy access to the United States, the same knowledgeable sources confirm.
During the course of a joint operation last week, Mexican Army and federal law enforcement officials discovered documents in Arabic and Urdu, as well as “plans” of Fort Bliss – the sprawling military installation that houses the US Army’s 1st Armored Division. Muslim prayer rugs were recovered with the documents during the operation.

QOTD: "Tax day is upon us again. But this year it’s different. This year, on top of the frustrating reminder that Americans are giving too much of their income to fund too many wasteful government programs, families are now being forced to pay the Obamacare tax for the first time.
Instead of government-run healthcare that increases taxes, limits options, and puts the government between patients and their doctors, imagine a free-market system that enables healthcare to be personal, portable and affordable. Instead of a tax code that crushes innovation and inflicts burdens on families struggling to make ends met, imagine a simple, flat tax that lets Americans fill out their taxes on a postcard. Imagine a tax code that is simple enough to abolish the IRS.
More of Americans’ hard-earned wages should be able to stay in their wallets so they can be free to invest more in their families and businesses, not in growing big government.
Tax reform is crucial to reversing our current economic stagnation, sparking economic growth, and expanding opportunity. I’m running for President because I believe that together, we can make D.C. listen, we can repeal Obamacare, we can implement fundamental tax reform, and we can restore our nation as a place that champions prosperity and opportunity for all." --Sen. Ted Cruz

OH, NOES: Grandpappy of Obamacare circles the drain
The former head of Britain’s National Health Service ... warned Thursday that “emergency action” may be needed to shore up NHS finances. Though the service’s troubles haven’t taken center stage in Britain’s national election, a crisis could be quietly brewing. Here’s the BBC:In an interview for BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, Sir David – who ran the NHS in England for eight years – said that because there was an election period, the NHS was unable to publish the latest report on its financial position.
But he said it was “pretty clear in the NHS that there is a substantial financial problem, particularly in the hospital sector” which would become “crystal clear” in the autumn […]
He said the NHS would have to take “emergency action” such as vacancy freezes.
To date, the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats have both pledged to increase funding by £8 billon by 2020, but Labour hasn’t. And Nicholson says that even the £8 billon depends on NHS’s earning £22 billion through “efficiency savings,” which he skeptically called a “big ask.” Nicholson predicts that, if those savings aren’t earned, Britons could see a “managed decline” of longer wait times, more restrictions on drug availability, and other barriers to access to care. Not a pretty picture.
It's important to remember that the meltdown of the UK's National Healthcare Service is -- quite literally -- a preview of Obamacare's future, almost as if we had a time machine.

SECOND AMENDMENT: Ted Cruz Throws Down
At a recent event, GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz was asked the following question:
“In the wake of the Sandy Hook shooting, a statistic surfaced putting support for background checks at 90%. Did you go against the want of the nation with your vote against Manchin-Toomey (a bill that would have required background checks on all commercial sales of guns)?”
After patiently listening to the questioner read the prepared question, Cruz responded:
“You know there’s an old line: there are lies, damn lies and statistics. You’re right, that was a poll that was bandied around a lot, but you can find a lot of results in a poll depending on how you frame the question. As you and I both know, we have a system of background checks in place right now.
What Manchin-Toomey was trying to do was extend that to every private sale between two individuals … two guys in a duck blind selling their shotgun, one to the other. The federal government doesn’t have any business there.
When you asked about the role of public opinion polls, when it comes to Constitutional rights, what matters is what the Bill of Rights says. It doesn’t matter what happens to be popular at the moment.
The entire reason for the Second Amendment is not for hunting, it’s not for target shooting … it’s there so that you and I can protect our homes and our families and our lives. And it’s also there as fundamental check on government tyranny.”
Classic Cruz.

QOTD: "Remember when Republicans were running in November and they said, "Vote for us and we'll extend liberal spending programs like CHIP and add hundreds of billion in debt!"?
Neither do I but that's what happened last night....
...Congress got away with adding to the debt by exempting the bill from the "pay-go" law which requires offsetting cuts when new spending is added. Some Republicans tried to add that provision back in, which would have basically killed the deal but enough Republicans do what they do best, vote with Democrats to spend more, and the amendment failed...
...Oh, in case you're wondering Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and Rand Paul voted for the amendment that would have forced the bill to be fully paid for. Paul for some reason broke with the others and voted with the majority to pass the bill even though it adds to the deficit and debt." --DrewM at AOSHQ

Obama's partners in peace rebuilding Hamas war machine in Gaza: tunnels, missiles and more
They see what's going on in Gaza -- where the Palestinian people are segregated from their fellow Arabs in Egypt by an apartheid wall that no one ever seems to mention -- as Iran rebuilds its terror proxy Hamas in order to wage another war with Israel.
Hamas has been diverting cement and construction material intended for civilian rebuilding efforts.
Israeli security officials confirmed that the terrorist group was digging tunnels at a rapid pace and trying to produce many short-range rockets in an effort to minimize interception by the Iron Dome defense system and cause maximum destruction against Israeli communities.
Iran sent Hamas tens of millions of dollars to help reconstitute the group's terrorist infrastructure, the Telegraph reported earlier this month. As news of a framework deal concerning Iran's nuclear program emerged, the Islamic Republic reportedly increased arms shipments to its terrorist proxies Hamas and Hizballah.
The Tower reports that Hamas has accelerated tunnel-building into Israel:
CHART: Tax Day is Almost Done, Here's How the Federal Government is Committing Fiscal Suicide
#TaxDay is almost over, now how will the government spend your tax dollars? http://t.co/epvGLTtgvJ by @aplundeen pic.twitter.com/co5wQCxRSy
— Tax Foundation (@taxfoundation) April 15, 2015Here's what this chart tells us:
• The federal government has become a massive machine for wealth redistribution: it launders ever-increasing amounts of money through an expensive, outdated, wasteful, fraud-ridden bureaucracy and then tries to centrally manage the retirement system, the health care system, and the welfare system. It will, at the end of the day, have all of the success that the Soviet Union had.
• The core task of the federal government, which is protecting the American people, has become an afterthought. National security, in the form of defense or border enforcement, is a tiny fraction of the federal money-laundering, wealth redistribution machine.
• Interest rates, which are at all-time lows -- suppressed by a Federal Reserve that has printed digital currency by the trillions -- will eventually go up. And, when rates go up, the results will be catastrophic across the board. Interest payments will squeeze out all other forms of spending, risking a complete collapse of the currency.
The idiots in Washington, both Democrats and establishment Republicans, have set the system up to implode.
We need a man outside the system -- a man like Ted Cruz, principled and steel-willed -- to start reforming this Rube Goldberg fiscal suicide machine.

Mia Love Obliterates Hillary Clinton With the Stroke of a Pen
Now more than ever, the American people require a president with a proven record of honesty and integrity. A president who believes America is an exceptional nation because it is built on a foundation of liberty and freedom. Unfortunately, Hillary Clinton is not that leader. This is not about party, it's not about Washington, it's about us and what kind of country we want to leave for our children. If "our" United States of America is going to remain exceptional, we must expect more of those who wish to lead our nation.
In related Hillary news, the would-be empress held a "listening tour" on a college campus in Iowa (which means no one was allowed to ask her questions and students were actually locked in their buildings to prevent Hill from breathing the same air as the riff-raff).
Oh, and Hillary's 'unscripted' coffee shop sit-down with 'ordinary' Americans turned out to be just as phony as a jetsetter worth $200 million engaging in class warfare.

iOTWreport Finally Decodes the Democrats' Secret Message
I am slapping my forehead and shouting, “Doh!” How could I be so obtuse and fail to grasp the deep meaning of the symbols on offer from Democrats over the past several years. Some might call it esoteric, but others would call it hiding in plain sight. All I can say is that I feel really stupid for not having seen it until now. Over at iOTWReport, someone named dapenguin figured it out.
Come to think about it, Homer Simpson is the perfect embodiment of the Demcorats. Easily distracted, shallow, and he'll believe anything.

Remember when the Supreme Court actually put a judicial chokehold on fascism in America?
On May 27, 1935, in a unanimous decision the nine members of the Supreme Court said there were constitutional limits beyond which the federal government could not go in claiming the right to regulate the economic affairs of the citizenry. It was a glorious day in American judicial history, and is worth remembering.
FDR’s Broken Promises for Smaller Government
When Franklin Roosevelt ran for president in the autumn of 1932 he did so on a Democratic Party platform that many a classical liberal, free market advocate might have happily supported and even voted for.
Was History Made Today?
In case you haven’t heard, the Senate today finally threw up a roadblock in front of Obama and his mad dash to give Iran the H-Bomb. Please consider: "Obama drops objection to letting Congress vote on Iran deal."
Oh, but that’s not the real headline, which is, "Facing Certain Override, Obama Caves in to Congress and Reality".
Reuters, 14 April 2015
U.S. President Barack Obama dropped his opposition on Tuesday to a bill giving Congress a voice on a nuclear deal with Iran after members of his Democratic Party negotiated changes to the bill that had won strong support from both parties.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Obama, who had said he would veto the proposed bill because it could scuttle the emerging Iran deal, could accept compromises that drew bipartisan Senate support ... The compromise bill passed the Senate Foreign Relations Committee unanimously and is expected to pass the full Senate...
It requires the Obama administration to send the text of a final agreement to Congress as soon as it is completed, and blocks Obama's ability to waive many U.S. sanctions on Iran while Congress reviews the deal.
It allows a final vote on whether to lift sanctions imposed by Congress in exchange for Iran dismantling its nuclear capabilities.
As far as I can recall this is the first time since his inauguration that one of Obama’s pet policy objectives has been turned back at the door. May this set a precedent for the final years of this disastrous presidency.
And may Congress go from strength to strength and help the American people take our country back!

Newly Discovered Tape from 1995: Obama admits he was mentored by vicious Communist Frank Marshall Davis
In an extraordinary development, film of Obama explicitly and openly identifying “Frank” as Frank Marshall Davis has suddenly surfaced on the Internet.
It is described as having been recorded on September 20, 1995, with the program originally airing on Channel 37 Cambridge Municipal Television as an episode of the show “The Author Series.”
Obama admits the mysterious “Frank” from his book Dreams from my Father is indeed the communist Frank Marshall Davis. But Obama does not reveal that Davis was a communist.
America’s Survival, Inc. President Cliff Kincaid discusses the significance of this discovery.
Click here to watch the video.
And click here if you don't know who the virulent Communist Frank Marshall Davis was.
And speaking of vintage media censorship of Obama's real background: I wonder what will happen when The Los Angeles Times decides to finally release the videotape of Barack Obama toasting Islamic terrorist Rashid Khalidi?

WHAT A RELIEF: Castro absolves Obama of fault for American "imperialist aggression"
Cuban President Raul Castro recounted the history of U.S. "imperialist aggression" in Latin America in an address here Saturday at the 7th Summit of the Americas, although he absolved U.S. head of state Barack Obama of responsibility for those past actions...
Obama meets with genocidal dictator Raul Castro, the first U.S. President to meet with Cuba's leader since the Communist Revolution.
"All (of the previous U.S. presidents) are indebted to us, but not President Obama," who is an "honest man ... with a manner about him that speaks to his humble origins," the Cuban leader said.
Castro also described as a "positive step" Obama's recent statement indicating he will soon make a decision on Cuba's presence on a U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism.
"They say we're terrorists. And we indeed have acted in solidarity with many peoples that may be considered terrorists" under the viewpoint of "imperialism," Castro said, noting that he was referring to Cuba's humanitarian missions in various developing countries.
I suppose this is the least Castro could do after Obama formally apologized for "meddling" in Latin and South America as well as renouncing the circa-1823 Monroe Doctrine.
