Obama-Kennedy Illegal Immigration Pandemic Continues
-
Migrant
caravan turned away at U.S.
border, likely faces long wait in Mexico
“While some
200 members of the Pueblo Sin Fronteras Caravan went over final details of
their asylum petitions in Tijuana, U.S authorities announced Sunday afternoon
that they had "reached capacity" at the San Ysidro Port of Entry for
processing persons "without appropriate entry documentation" — a
status that would apply to all caravan members.”
My prognosis: This delay
will only last a few days until Obama’s-Sanctuary Judges in the 9th Circuit
orders the border be opened and the Border Patrol meet and greet these new illegal
immigrants, including all these new Obama-Dreamers, with the ‘catch and
release’ process.
(Note: of
the 2,000-mile US southern
border – they were driven from Central America to the San
Diego California
border crossing -- home of Jerry Brown and the 9th Circuit).
-
-
Teddy
Kennedy and his Democrat cronies changed the long standing immigration laws to
give preferential treatment to however and whoever enters the US thereby giving
illegal immigrants ‘rights’ under the ‘catch and release’ programs and
follow-on immigration through the ‘chain migration’ that brings in massive
numbers of additional people all without going through the formal legal immigration
process my parents, and millions of others, complied with.
-
Obama and
his Sanctuary-Judges, especially in the 9th Circuit, have in-effect, totally
opened the borders so that we have the current spectacle of caravans of well
orchestrated and managed penetration of our borders and our communities who are
then required to feed, clothe, house and educate these people at taxpayer expense and major
impositions.
-
-
We now have 20-million illegal
people in this country.
That is 2-1/2 times the population of New York City.
That is 2-1/2 times the population of New York City.
That’s Not immigration – that’s an
Invasion!
An invasion by 1000 Pseudo-Divisions (20,000 each)

Obama’s Resistors: The Politics Of Personal Destruction
-
The Senate
Democrat’s Lynching of Ronny Jackson reached the pinnacle of ‘the politics of
personal destruction’ with the aiding and abetting of Obama’s US-PravdaMedia.
Democrat
Senator Jon Tester released to the press a list of anonymous unsupported
scurrilous accusations in order to sink Jackson’s
nomination before the confirmation process began.

his fellow senators could make an informed decision, why didn’t he confirm the
accuracy of the charge with the Secret Service before he blasted it into the
newsfeeds and nightly broadcasts of millions of Americans?”

Democrat Hypocrisy: What If Trump Nominated A Gay For Ambassador?
-
“WASHINGTON
(Reuters) - The U.S. Senate confirmed President Donald Trump’s nominee to be
ambassador to Germany on Thursday, just before Chancellor Angela Merkel was due
in Washington for talks on Berlin’s desire that Trump preserve the
international nuclear agreement with Iran.
The Senate
voted 56-42 to confirm Richard Grenell, largely along party lines, filling a
position that had been vacant since January 2017.
Trump nominated Grenell for the Berlin post last
September.”
-
-
So, Trump
nominates a highly qualified person (who happens to be openly-gay) to be his
ambassador to Germany in
September 2017 (7-long-months ago) and the Democrats allow him to be confirmed
the day before Merkel (Germany’s
President) arrives for a meeting with Trump!
-
Can you image the hue and cry of
Homophobia IF the Republicans had held-up an Obama Gay candidate for any reason
for 7-long-months!!!!
-
The depth
and breath of the Obama-Resist movement, even at the expense of injury to the US, is way
beyond political opposition and has clearly become sedition and an
anti-American Movement.

“A “green”
activist who was a pioneering lawyer for gay and transgender rights — including
in the notorious “Boys Don’t Cry” rape murder case — committed suicide by
setting himself on fire Saturday morning in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park in a
grisly act of protest against the ecological destruction of the Earth.”
-
-
It is
indeed sad that any person would take their own life, especially in this
manner.
It’s
difficult to comprehend the conflicts and demons this person wrestled with.
-
It is also difficult
to comprehend that he was so conflicted that he viewed earth’s Natural Global
Temperature and Climate Changes as reason for his demise.
Reminiscent
of similar actions by Monk protesters.

Police Officer Safety Not A Subject For Sarcasm
-
'Area
police forces stock up on riot gear. Thanks to a
federal grant, they're getting some new clubs, gas masks, riot shields,
high-tech body armor, "ballistic helmets" and a paintball-style gun
that fires pepper pellets.’
“A cynic
might read the report and wonder if local cops are readying for a zombie
apocalypse. Or, at the least, they are preparing to deliver a serious whooping
to somebody.”
-
-
A cynic
indeed. This article laced with sarcasm
about protective gear for the police department’s Riot and SWAT squads.
-
Every
citizen should be dedicated to the premise that No police officer should be
injured or killed performing their duty, and it is the responsibility of the citizens
to ensure the police have the best available defensive and offensive assets
available.
-
The number
of police officers killed and injured on the job is totally unacceptable. I am shocked at the number of ex-police
officers I meet that are retired early with major disabilities.
-
Proposed:
next time there is an incident involving violence, let’s have the editors of
the Roanoke Times join the police officers on the front-lines and see what kind
of ‘gear’ they want to wear.

organizations alerting officials about the threats they face.’
‘The
country has taken in nearly 1 million refugees, predominantly from Muslim
countries, since the migrant crisis began in 2015.’

It’s
difficult to comprehend that in 2018 German Jew’s are being told to hide their

Roanoke Times Editors Right-On Knocking Corey Stewart

Roanoke Times, 4-24-2018, Pg 5: Editorial: Why Corey Stewart hurts the Republican Party
Roanoke Times, 4-24-2018, Pg 5: Editorial: Why Corey Stewart hurts the Republican Party
“What is
wrong with Corey Stewart?
There
really seems no other diplomatic way to ask the question.
We refer to
last week’s debate in Lynchburg
between the three candidates seeking the Republican nomination for the U.S.
Senate and the right to run against Tim Kaine this fall.
The
highlight — if you want to call it that — of that debate was Nick Freitas
calling out Stewart for what were deemed “ethnic jokes” about Freitas’ surname.
Specifically, one campaign worker for Stewart had posted on Facebook:
“Freitas…… Sounds more like a [sic] item from Taco Bells dollar menu then a
Senate candidate.” Another post by the same campaign worker, William Totten of Smyth County,
also claims questions had been raised about whether Freitas is a legal citizen.
(He is.)”

Let’s Thank All Those Who Made Coal Happen This Winter
-
This
RT commentary is an excellent summary of the Reality of our utility energy
situation – A Good Read!
Coal
emerges as the surprise power champion of a cold winter
Terry M.
Jarrett Jerry is an energy attorney and consultant who has served on both the
National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners and the Missouri
Public Service Commission.
“It’s been
a rough winter for much of America.
As the Department of Energy has reported, a “bomb cyclone” winter storm struck
much of the eastern United
States in late December and early January.
It plunged the region into a deep freeze and sparked a significant rise in
demand for additional power. And if that wasn’t enough, winter has also
lingered longer than expected, yielding surprise snowstorms in early spring.”
-
-
So, how’d
you-all like the Gore Global Warming winter and your dependence on solar panels
and wind-turbines?
The ‘Sustainable’
people promoting ‘alternative’ energy never engage in the Reality that we still
have major Natural weather and climate variability, we add 2-million-net people to
the US each year, and the alternative-offerings do not meet the Utility challenges
of reliability, availability and serviceability within the foreseeable future! We all need 100% backup with enough reserves
for those special events.
-
The
sustainable story is somewhat like:
someday the
lion and the lamb will lie down together,
but today,
when they lie down, the lamb is inside the lion!

13 Worst Predictions Made on
Earth Day, 1970
By Jon Gabriel 04/22/2013
The
1970s were a lousy decade. Embarrassing
movies, dreadful music
and downright
terrifying clothes reflected the national mood following an
unpopular war, endless political scandals and a faltering economy.Popular culture was consumed with decline, especially Hollywood. The Omega Man, Soylent Green, Damnation Alley and countless other dystopian films showed a planet wrecked by war, pollution and neglect. In large part, the entertainment industry was reflecting the culture at large.
In 1970, the first Earth Day was celebrated — okay, “celebrated” doesn’t capture the funereal tone of the event. The events (organized in part by then hippie and now convicted murderer Ira Einhorn) predicted death, destruction and disease unless we did exactly as progressives commanded.
Behold the coming apocalypse as predicted on and around Earth Day, 1970:
- "Civilization will end within 15 or 30 years unless immediate action is taken against problems facing mankind." — Harvard biologist George Wald
- "We are in an environmental crisis which threatens the survival of this nation, and of the world as a suitable place of human habitation." — Washington University biologist Barry Commoner
- "Man must stop pollution and conserve his resources, not merely to enhance existence but to save the race from intolerable deterioration and possible extinction." — New York Times editorial
- "Population will inevitably and completely outstrip whatever small increases in food supplies we make. The death rate will increase until at least 100-200 million people per year will be starving to death during the next ten years." — Stanford University biologist Paul Ehrlich
- "Most of the people who are going to die in the greatest cataclysm in the history of man have already been born… [By 1975] some experts feel that food shortages will have escalated the present level of world hunger and starvation into famines of unbelievable proportions. Other experts, more optimistic, think the ultimate food-population collision will not occur until the decade of the 1980s." — Paul Ehrlich
- "It is already too late to avoid mass starvation," — Denis Hayes, Chief organizer for Earth Day
- "Demographers agree almost unanimously on the following grim timetable: by 1975 widespread famines will begin in India; these will spread by 1990 to include all of India, Pakistan, China and the Near East, Africa. By the year 2000, or conceivably sooner, South and Central America will exist under famine conditions…. By the year 2000, thirty years from now, the entire world, with the exception of Western Europe, North America, and Australia, will be in famine." — North Texas State University professor Peter Gunter
- "In a decade, urban dwellers will have to wear gas masks to survive air pollution… by 1985 air pollution will have reduced the amount of sunlight reaching earth by one half." — Life magazine
- "At the present rate of nitrogen buildup, it's only a matter of time before light will be filtered out of the atmosphere and none of our land will be usable." — Ecologist Kenneth Watt
- "Air pollution...is certainly going to take hundreds of thousands of lives in the next few years alone." — Paul Ehrlich
- "By the year 2000, if present trends continue, we will be using up crude oil at such a rate… that there won't be any more crude oil. You'll drive up to the pump and say, ‘Fill 'er up, buddy,' and he'll say, ‘I am very sorry, there isn't any.'" — Ecologist Kenneth Watt
- "[One] theory assumes that the earth's cloud cover will continue to thicken as more dust, fumes, and water vapor are belched into the atmosphere by industrial smokestacks and jet planes. Screened from the sun's heat, the planet will cool, the water vapor will fall and freeze, and a new Ice Age will be born." — Newsweek magazine
- "The world has been chilling sharply for about twenty years. If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder in the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us into an ice age." — Kenneth Watt
