I disagree, Andy. I think if Trump wins (BIG if), we'll have to wait and see what happens. I certainly believe that if the GOP-e or the Dems win, we will most certainly lose the nation. With the latter, with speed and much pain.

14 TX is withholding birth certificates from illegals children born in TX and the illegals are suing. This Fox articles says it pits Texas' strict ID laws against the 14th amendment. That is simply not true. There has never been a ruling by the courts for children born of illegals. The most cited case for this is Won Kim Ark and he was the son of LEGAL immigrants. The people who cite the 14th amendment are missing an important part of that amendment; the subject to the jurisdiction thereof part. But I am sure the supremes can find a way to shit on that too.

Estrin didn't appear to have any criminal intent, police Cmdr. Andrew Smith said. The loaded firearm was in a locked box in the vehicle, police said.

21 The Charleston church shooter has been indicated on 33 federal counts. He has already been indicted in SC for 9 counts of murder, which meets the requirements for the SC death penalty. The FBI is stretching the federal law again. They are not supposed to be moving in on State hate crimes unless the State is not taking action. But what does this corrupt administration care. This can get them some more TV time and they can stir the shit pot some more.


Here is the part of actual hate crime code that is applicable:


I](b) Certification Requirement.

(1) In general. No prosecution of any offense described in this subsection may be undertaken by the United States, except under the certification in writing of the Attorney General, or a designee, that


(A) the State does not have jurisdiction;


(B) the State has requested that the Federal Government assume jurisdiction;


(C) the verdict or sentence obtained pursuant to State charges left demonstratively unvindicated the Federal interest in eradicating bias-motivated violence; or


(D) a prosecution by the United States is in the public interest and necessary to secure substantial justice.


I am suppose that they are using item (D) which was not in the original act that was passed. IIRC the act stated the State was not taking adequate action so a code writer used that to make (D) and "added necessary to secure substantial justice".


SC will prosecute this guy for 9 counts of murder and this crime does not meet the certification requirements.

I don't eat at them, but the real people who will suffer are the working poor since

a) this the food that most can afford
b) these are the places where many are employed

The results will be an astronomical rise in food costs as well as fewer jobs for them.

Herein lies the problem for Our Republican Betters and their rumpswabs in the so-called "conservative" media: Trump differs from the majority of wannabe Preezys only in that he can self-finance his campaign. Yeah, he's more of an obnoxious loudmouth and shows that he hasn't brought Learned Political Experts into his campaign (but I repeat myself), but he's still a hack politico at heart.

The major difference is: he tells the truth, and isn't shy about it. That makes him a mortal danger to the clubby little game of politics so beloved of the yammering pundits who inhabit the bloggy world.

Guess I always have to add that I don't want to vote for him. But if the campaign plays out as expected (Establishment Democrat vs. Establishment GOPer), I'm going to have to.

52 We were screwed long before this moment. In fact, this moment is an extract from a trend that began with the ratification of the Constitution. Don't get me wrong, the Federalists were well intended but when you give a central government access to the powers required of tyranny (lawmaking, law enforcing, law interpreting) with only words on parchment to prevent their coordinated use (checks and balances), you are asking for trouble. Remember the time, back in tha' day, when the Adams administration enacted the Alien and Sedition Acts to suppress the dissent of the Jeffersonian Republicans? That entire drama proved Federalist #10 to be wrong and revealed the Constitution to be weak in the area of protecting natural rights. Certainly there were good times but one would think that some substantial amount of time would have passed before the Constitution began revealing signs of wear.

When my dad was a kid, he had a couple of stray cats as pets and named them Hitler and Mussolini. Even after the war, after marrying a Shoah survivor, he stuck his foot in his mouth at a family event once and said that we had it tough here in the States with food and gas rationing. Bless my mom and her family for their patience. Years later, when he visited Auschwitz with my mom, she told me that he was sobbing so uncontrollably she was scared he was going to have a heart attack.

I understand your frustration that the feckless establishment has gleefully ignored all of that BUT when you talk about Trump and that being a loser. How do you really know.

The way I see it, in politics, the establishment is a proven, time tested failure that advances the progressive agenda at every turn whereas, and I know this is surreal.

I don't expect the next President to do anything about Obamacare or crunchy abortions or SSM. SCROTUS has boned us with those, and they'll act to protect their babies.

All the historians consider Adams to be one of the greatest founding fathers. I never have. He set about destroying the Constitution as soon as it was ratified after the Federalist lost the electon to the Jeffersonians.


Marbury vs Madison was a created mess by Adams and Marshall during the "midnight judicial nominations. It was intended to transfer more power to the supreme court and thus the federal government so that they could be the fox guarding the hen house.


Adams had always believed in and argued for a big and powerful federal government

I am not a Santorem fan, but I was impressed. He blasted the repubs on everything from the confirmation of The Eric Holder replacement to approving of the Obama S.C. appointees. He said defunding P.P. should be easy but they will make it hard. It would only have been better had he said "Boehner and McConnel". He didn't, but it was a good rant anyway.

78 All the historians consider Adams to be one of the greatest founding fathers. I never have. He set about destroying the Constitution as soon as it was ratified after the Federalist lost the electon to the Jeffersonians.

I agree. He seemed like a bitter elitist. That he passed the Alien and Sedition acts shows he never really cared much for liberty.

I think the initial Articles were probably the better system. Shay's Rebellion spooked all the elite and they came up with the Pig's Breakfast we all live in now so they could have a standing army.

The Judiciary Act was a huge travesty that revealed both the failure of Madison's argument in Federalist #10 (that factional control was not likely), and that the Federalists failed to give a scintilla of thought to the notion that a federal judiciary could be politicized. The Anti-Federalists warned of judicial tyranny. Damn you Publius! In all fairness though, Madison's break with Hamilton is his "come to Jesus moment" so ALL his props can't be revoked.

The big mouths say it was TG and it is insulting and will discourage people with info from coming forward. The guy was a prostitute. I'm sure the murder was either he wasnt up front about having a dick or more likely it was over drugs. The SJWs say that he was a prostitute was only made public to shame the victim. smh

There is only one person acting like he wants to be President and he was on FIRE on CNN.

Trump devastated McCain and Obama and indicted the GOP for its malfeasance.

Call Trump a clown or a blow hard all you want.

What I just saw was incredible.

Anderson trying to defend McCain brought up all of these wonderful bills that he either sponsored or helped passed and Trump just rattled off statistics on how they all failed and how most of these bills were done to take the heat off of Obama and that the problem is no one has been fired for their incompetence.

He just blasted McCain and Obama and the GOP effectively in two seconds.

I understand that people don't like the agent but you can't always pick the agent.

The Article of Confederation had a lot of problems. The original Constitution was great except for one thing. The people who wrote it thought the judicial leg was the weakest leg so they did not give a lot of guidance in that part. They also assumed Presidents would honestly adhere to their oath of office, That was a huge mistake.

This is why I want an Art V convention with one of the primary actions being to return the judicial part to what was intended by taking it away from the federal government entirely and giving the appointment power to the States. And by strictly defining its powers and limitations.

The "conservative" side of the political picture is as full of SJWs, power-grabbers and elitists as any Democrat group. We tolerate them because issues....

To form a coalition requires compromise, and Our Betters in both parties believe "compromise" means "you do what I want, and we can work together." Otherwise, any coalition falls apart in short order.

It's just human nature at work, I guess. In the main, politicians and political junkies differ only in what they want people to see as their "beliefs." When it comes down to running the machine, they are alarmingly alike.

EU Files Antitrust Charges Against Six U.S. Film Studios

Studios include Disney, Sony Pictures, Twentieth Century Fox and Warner Bros.

BRUSSELS---Europe's antitrust regulator has filed formal charges against six major U.S. film studios and U.K. pay-TV broadcaster Sky UK Ltd., warning that contracts agreed on by the companies that restrict access to Sky's services outside Britain may violate EU laws.

The six studios are Disney, NBCUniversal, Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc., Twentieth Century Fox and Warner Bros. Entertainment.

The charges come amid a broader push by the EU to smash down barriers to a single market for digital services in the region. Regulators are focusing in particular on eliminating so-called geo-blocking, where firms block access to films or other online content outside a particular licensed territory.

The European Commission, the bloc's top antitrust authority, said Thursday that contracts agreed between Sky and the six studios may have prevented Sky from offering its U.K. and Irish pay-TV services to EU consumers elsewhere.

I agree with some of the things he ha saids but I don't put a lot of trust in someone who claims to be a Christian and yet says "I have never asked God for forgiveness" and "I go to church ti get my little wine and cracker." Does that mean I want a theocracy?Absoutely not? Does it mean that a person's faith is a huge motivating factor in my vote? But someone who has no humility because they're richer than (they think) God is and yet claims Christianity is not my idea of a good leader.

I think most people understand that we probably will at some point give a significant number of the illegals some sort of amnesty. But, we don't want to hear that as part of the immediate plan. What we want is a simple, build the wall, stop the flood of illegals, get rid of the serious lawbreakers (felons, DUI, drug possession), and start enforcing employment fines. Then after a few years of that, we'll talk about those still here. Also, we don't want to hear about replacing the illegals with a flood of legal immigration. We really need a couple decade moratorium.

Seems to me -- and someone should check before taking this as 100% correct -- that Cruz has, shall we say, "tailored" his message when fund-raising speaking in front of various groups. Seems to me he was for a soft stance on illegals before he advocated obeying the law.

Which doesn't matter. His record as a Senator disqualifies him from any consideration, IMO.

Fox is sort of instigating this by not allowing some in the debates. Sure there had to be a cutoff, but polling is ridiculous. Whoever has the most money, hence, the most presence in media and the most sound bites will up their poll numbers. This is a sham. Polling is BS to begin with.

They use the term "pathway to citizenship" which is dog-whistle for amnesty. And don't forget, every amnesty bill we have passed since 1965 promised to close the border. Not a single damn one has. I do not buy that one ever.


And I still maintain the fence is a red herring. It will never be built because it would cost more than one trillion dollars. We MUST take away the incentives for the illegals to come here. When that happens they will quit coming. And that includes taking away the BS baby birth interpretation. But TX is challenging that now.

Some don't openly endorse full citizenship, but the endgame is the same. But "secure the border" is lip service.

There should be a border fence where it's practical, sensors and patrols where it isn't. There should be universal e-verify, and there should be massive crippling fines for hiring illegals. Immigrants working here should have to pay a special tax to support the border security and e-verify systems. There should be better controls on people who come here on Visas and don't leave, and by all means, there should be deportations of criminal and radical aliens.

The only kind of Amnesty should be Exit Amnesty; if you leave the country voluntarily you won't be fined or prosecuted.

____________________

Bennies should be slashed -- to 0 -- for a lot of current disability recipients, given that they're not actually disabled. If the government audited the disability rolls and kicked off the millions of frauds and slackers currently sucking up dollars, there would be a lot more $$ left for the legitimately disabled.

Unfortunately, the government will never do that.

They could also reform the ludicrous SSI (Supplemental Security Income) program, which is also rife with fraud and abuse. For example, why is the government paying SSI benefits to drug addicts? Taxpayers shouldn't be subsidizing a voluntary condition, and we also shouldn't be incentivizing drug addicts to remain drug addicts (if you stop being an addict, you lose your monthly government check -- guess which choice most addicts are going to make?)

Of course, they'll never do that either.

The way to end illegal employment. Anyone who turns in a business hiring illegals gets a reward of say $10K per illegal caught. This is paid by the fines on the employer. If an illegal does the reporting, they get the money and a five year legal residency card. If they are good during that time they can be on a path to citizenship.

304 If they won't enforce current immigration law, how can they be entrusted to enforce any future immigration law?

That's the whole point. "Comprehensive Immigration Reform" is code for "Amnesty now and forever." Not quite complete "open borders" because we'd retain the right to kick specific people out (not that it would happen very much), but pretty darn close.

Any time someone starts talking about "Comprehensive Immigration Reform" or says that "securing the border isn't enough," that should be a red flag that they're an amnista.

308 We're not "screwed" is Trump wins. If the only thing he accomplishes as potus is building that damn wall, he'll have accomplished more than any of the current candidates and Obama combined. Sheesh. Be happy. We actually have a happy warrior on our side and he's, get this, winning! I don't remember what that was like since I was a baby when Reagan won. Nearly all those who have won in my time have been big on promises and short on delivering.

So, did you all know what a putz Perry made of himself today? In one speech there was so many goofs I couldn't address them all last night. First, he demonized McCarthy, a big no-no to me. Then, he called Joseph "have you no decency" Welch a "senator" when he was no such thing since he was a lawyer. Then he screwed up the history of the "have you no decency" because Welch actually did have a lawyer working in his firm who was indeed a Commie. Breitbart has this BRILLIANT article on the subject here:

http://tinyurl.com/nw638qv

Then, Perry said that Trump demonized "citizens" when we all know Trump was referencing illegals -- so either Perry didn't pay attention to the speech or he's actually thinks illegals ARE "citizens". And, of course, calling Trump "cancer" which is truly unforgivable and shows Perry doesn't have a heart for cancer victims to punch them in the face like this.

I've said before, but it's politically stupid of Perry to side with the Establishment here. The E will never like him, they think he's stupid. His only hope was grassroots and he's attacking the one man the grassroots love. I can't believe I ever liked Perry.

It isn't as if this shit just started. It started with FDR. Got a big kicker with LBJ.

These may be the last giant steps, but they are also the nails in the coffin.

We, even though we didn't admit it, were already pretty much a Euro-socialist country before Obama even took office. Government was already the major employer and the entitlement state had already touched nearly half of the population before Obama was even elected.

All of this happy horseshit about taking this country back to the vision of the founders is just that. Not going to happen.

Greatest country on earth?

Objectively, not even in the top ten.

We need to resign ourselves to an illusion of liberty. That's all it is now. We might be able to claw a little back from here, but there is now fucking way in hell that the liberty the forefathers sought for us will ever be ours again.

If they won't enforce current immigration law, how can they be entrusted to enforce any future immigration law?
__________________

Because the kind of future immigration law they're insisting we pass is a law that allows for open borders and amnesty for all existing illegal aliens.

They're saying they'll end sanctuary cities only if we pass a law that makes sanctuary cities unnecessary -- because the whole country will then be one big sanctuary nation.

IOW, do it their way, or they'll continue breaking existing laws and doing it their way anyway.

That's why you can't compromise with these people. They never keep their end of the bargain (see, e.g., the 1986 Reagan amnesty, which traded amnesty for secure borders. The Dims got their amnesty, but we never got secure borders).

When the Dims don't get the laws they want, they just ignore the laws they get. They do whatever they want, regardless.

370 As I've said from the beginning, we need to define the term "amnesty".

There is no question that regardless of what happens with immigration, the 12 to 30 million illegals here are not going to be deported. Only fools believe this.

The fight will be between granting permanent residency or citizenship. Democrats will naturally want to give everyone citizenship for their votes. Republicans will go with permanent residency, immediate deportation of criminals, strict limits on any welfare and charging back the country of origin for medical costs.

It's not rocket science.

377 BREAKING: 2 Teens Arrested After Allegedly Stabbing 5 People to Death in Oklahoma


According to reports, officers responded for an unknown reason to a residence in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma around 11:30pm last night. When officers arrived at the scene they found five people who had been stabbed to death and one critically wounded child.

The two teens attempted to flee the scene when officers arrived. They were detained a short distance away.

Officers did find one unharmed child at the residence. Police say the two detained teens are related to all of the victims.

That's why it's important for conservatives to get behind crafting the law that would grant the residency. It would need a strong section on how anyone who accepts permanent residency will need to go back to their home country before applying for citizenship, going to the back of the line.

Also, there would be language that allows immediate deportation for any permanent resident who registers or votes in any U.S. election.

Oh, it's not just the Dims' fault, not by any stretch of the imagination. They're just the lead offenders. The Republicans share plenty of blame. They've known for years about sanctuary cities, and they've done absolutely nothing to stop it. They know Obama's executive amnesties are unconstitutional power grabs, and yet they refuse to even attempt to impeach him (or to defund his amnesties, or to do anything else to stop him). Instead, they hold pointless (and endless) hearings, none of which ever accomplish anything but to give some camera-hungry politician an opportunity to grandstand. Kabuki theater, indeed, as our kind host has often pointed out.

The corruption and rot is deep and extensive, and it affects both sides of the aisle. The Democrats are the most brazen in their lawlessness and contempt for citizens, but the Republicans are nearly as bad. They all suck, and they all need to go if we are to have any hope of regaining our liberty.

I doubt that. Here is why.

The Bushes believe, at their core, that they are part of the Chosen Nobility, and that it is their Duty to rule over the peasant class.

They see everyone who didn't grow up with their Ivy League privilege as their inferiors; not in a necessarily contemptuous way, but in a condescending way. We can't be trusted to know what's best for us, and we need Enlightened Government to Show Us the Way.

It's why the Bushes are pro-Amnesty. American peasants? Mexican peasants? What's the difference? No one in the Bush Class is going to lose out on a job or an educational opportunity to an illegal immigrant.

Jeb Bush doesn't have the first clue what life is like for an average, middle-class American. He also shares with progressive Democrats that middle class, average Americans are too dumb to be trusted with their own decisions and kind of racist. He is quite like Hillary, in that regard.

No. It's why it's important for conservatives to oppose it absolutely.

I know I'm arguing with a wall here- you're going to believe what you want to believe, and damn the evidence, but let me lay it out for you.

A f*cking tyrant in a black robe "discovered" that the 14th Amendment meant that anyone who was born in the US was automatically a US Citizen- first time that I can find in Human history that such a thing was posited.

Later, another f*cking tyrant in a black robe "discovered" that the 14th Amendment and "dignity" meant that the States had to endorse same-sex unions.

If you have any permanent legal status for those currently here illegally, it'll take La Raza and the ACLU about 2 days to draw up the paperwork for a federal suit saying that making them pay taxes and *not* be citizens is a violation of the 14th Amendment. It'll take until the following October (at the latest) for SCOTUS to agree with them.

Poof. The law (written in plain language) that says they can be here legally but not be citizens is re-written by the judicial branch, and all of those people are now brand-new Democrat voters.

F*ck that. Any form of legal status *IS* Amnesty. It *IS* a "path to citizenship." No. No legal status, period. We may lack the political will to remove the illegals currently in the country, but that does not mean we have to further reward them.

And rough 66% of the country (last poll I saw) was with me on that. They may not support round-ups and forced deportations, but they definitely oppose any form of legal status. That is a winning issue for Conservatives.

Of course, I don't make the mistake of believing Republican = Conservative anymore.

there is an old American political term: Dough Face.
originally used for a northern politician with southern sympathies,

or, "...weak men who, without any firm moral commitment to their cause other than political expediency, could prove at some critical point in the future to be unreliable."

it is a term that came out of the wrangling over the Missouri compromise.

But, squishes, cheats, liars, the politically expedient, and rags flapping in the political wind.

He feeds that same kind of emotion that Christie fed until he put the moves on Obama.

Whatever he professes to be, he ain't that. But just saying what he says stokes some visceral fire.

He's not a conservative. He probably isn't even a Republican. By his past actions, he could easily be a Democrat. But right now, he's slaking the anger of a lot of people on the right.

We go down to Mexico. Find the people who enforce their immigration rules (because they're obviously more serious about the matter). Pay them double their wages--which would probably still be much cheaper than we pay our guys. And hire them to come up here (we grant those guys automatic citizenship).

We're all having fun with this, but the real solution is pretty straightforward: (1) eliminate the right of anyone who has not recently paid U.S. income taxes to receive any government benefit payments, and (2) bill the sending country for any of their nationals arrested in this country without proper entry papers.

The sending country would clean up their act quickly on allowing people to cross the border illegally, and we wouldn't need a wall, and people would be less inclined to come here without having a job up in advance.

Posted by: MTF at July 23, 2015 09:28 AM (TxJGV)

458 To do nothing invites the democrats to find other ways to hand over citizenship.

So we should make it *easier* for them "to hand over citizenship" because if we don't, they'll keep trying to hand over citizenship?

In what world does that make sense.

The majority (a really big one) opposes amnesty for illegal aliens. That is a winning issue. Running on "No amnesty for illegals, and securing the border" is a winning strategy - which is one of those things the Establishment claims grass-roots don't have.

Running on "legal status for illegals" is *not* a winning strategy. A minority supports that.

Yes, Democrats will continue to attempt to gain amnesty and citizenship for illegal aliens. It's like those new Geico commercials: it's what they do. The only winning strategy is *not* to say, "well, okay, how about we meet in the middle;" we've seen how that works. The winning strategy is to say "f*ck that. No."

The Establishment's problem with that is that a) it's harder than capitulation and b) part of the minority that supports it includes many of their high-dollar donors.

ISIS is very proficient at recruiting disaffected people, especially in that geographic area. It's not a large number of Kurds yet, just a trickle of their disaffected yutes. But sometimes trickles can turn into downpours and floods (as you know from living in TX). A group of determined and adequately-armed Kurds on one side or the other could easily turn the tide of battle in that region.

If they're not getting voluntary help from "friends", I can understand a strategy of stealing help from "enemies". They are in survival mode - you do what you need to do.

500 A f*cking tyrant in a black robe "discovered" that the 14th Amendment meant that anyone who was born in the US was automatically a US Citizen- first time that I can find in Human history that such a thing was posited.
____________________

Did you know that in Mexico, you don't become a citizen until you're age 18? Citizenship comes with responsibilities, and children are considered incapable of those responsibilities. That's why the Mexican constitution distinguishes between Mexican "nationals" and Mexican "citizens." If you are a child born to Mexican parents, you are a Mexican national, but you don't become a Mexican citizen until age 18. This distinction between nationals and citizens is common in Latin American countries.

If you are a Mexican national born in the U.S. to Mexican parents, you are entitled to all the rights and privileges of Mexican nationality (e.g., the right to attend public schools in Mexico, etc.), and when you reach age 18, you can become a Mexican citizen by showing that your parents are Mexicans. You can also retain your U.S. citizenship.

Lots of whining in the U.S. about how the U.S.-born children of illegal aliens don't have any other country but this one. That is just another lie to try and justify amnesty. The truth is that most of these kids would have the right to return to their own countries and live there as nationals (and later citizens); they just don't want to.

Do we catch every thief? Do we even try?

Do we catch every murderer? Do we catch every blackmailer? Do we even try?

No. We have limited resources, and we use them to the best of our judgement. We need no law granting amnesty for other crimes, and we need no law granting "legal status" to illegal aliens.

It is not "ignoring the law" to admit that the political will does not exist for a mass round-up. Not any more so than it is "ignoring the law" not to go on massive gang round ups, or pour every law enforcement resource on solving the latest mugging. We do what we can with what we have.

Indeed, leaving the law exactly as it stands is precisely the correct thing to do. It gives you options when someone illegal *does* come to your attention (officially) that you won't have (or won't have as readily) if you grant them any form of legal status.

The issue is to enforce - the same way we enforce laws against speeding, theft, and even murder - current immigration law. We're not going to catch every illegal. We're not even going to try. But we're also not going just to give up on it.

I've met latinos who are American born who are still loyal to Mexico over the USA. I used to work for one. He was a "the Southwest was stolen from my people, and we are going to take it all back!", type.

561 Point re: sidebar article on Queen Elizabeth:

Edward (briefly the king and like most of the left, a fan of fascism pre-Holocaust) was her uncle.

Albert (the one that stuttered and later became king) was her father.

That is all.

#1 Your numbers are bullshit. Israel has built over 300 miles of barrier, not 19 miles.

#2 Israel's requirements are for a military barrier. It is designed to prevent incursions of small units with vehicles as well as single terrorists.

#3 Israel's technology requirements for the barrier are much more sophisticated than what we would require.

RIP.
