Congress: What will your legacy be? - Avoidance, treachery and betrayal or, Courage, guts and integrity?


It just isn’t enough – Suffer some more

The latest and full on assault against America is against our Veterans who have been denied and delayed care by the thousands.  

Now, the U.S.  finally knows that ‘Death panel’ waiting lists and false reports offered up by the Veterans Administration are everywhere.  

Vets have not been given care and have died. 

Forms have been fraudulently sent in to get more Federal money, daring to say the Vets have been seen.  

It is called fraud and murder and only a sign of what is unfolding in the death machine of ObamaCare for the rest of us.

We heard the usual response from Obama saying he was horrified and didn’t know anything about it.  

He would get to the bottom of it.  

Tragically, Obama knows everything about this since like all the other tainted scandals in America, like his golf game he seems to be swinging with them all.  

He just puts useful fools around him, taking any heat in case the spiked balls don’t fly where he hits them.

In Phoenix, there are over 1,700 Vets not on the VA waiting list.  According to CNN,  they are either lost or forgotten.  

This is hardly just a management and bureaucracy problem from the days of Bush (you know Bush causes everything).  

It is a national emergency and yet another treasonous failure of our poser Commander in Chief who only pretends to be concerned…who only pretends to lead and protect…who is too busy destroying all that has made America great to do anything but pretend.

What do we see with this ‘death panel’ President


  • Obama has been systematically destroying our military by turning our much-needed military into a sexual playground of experimentation – check.
  • Obama has been destroying our health care, deciding who will live and die and when this will happen - check.
  • Obama has been corrupting our international reputation by backing despots, dictators and Muslim radicals, while supplying guns to drug cartels and other criminals – check.
  • Obama is gutting our economy and stealing from the American people through bogus and usury taxation, some hidden and some known – check.
What to do:

America is in a state of emergency thanks to Obama and his corruption, betrayals, crimes and lies.  

We are sick of being gang raped. 

It is high time Congress increases the volume and ‘follows through’ with real leadership. 

Congress must start the investigations and arrests regarding the crimes of the IRS.  

It is unacceptable and frankly unbelievable that they still are throwing their criminal weight around.  

We need honest investigations and arrests regarding the criminal behavior of the NSA.  

There must be follow through and arrests regarding the Benghazi crimes.

Finally, if Congress doesn’t do a ‘whole lot of major somethings’ regarding getting to the bottom of Obama crimes and corruption, America will be lost.  

Congress will be one of the major causes along with at least half the nation being seduced.

[0 was elected by 23% of Americans in 2008, 21% of Americans in 2012. Most people did not vote.]

Those in leadership and soon to be leadership in the fall…what will your legacy be?  

- Avoidance, treachery and betrayal OR, Courage, guts and integrity?  

We are waiting but won’t wait much longer.”

Illegal Immigration's Cost

Illegals cost US Taxpayers at least $252 a day, while they are paid $59 a day US minimum wage, and Vets are paid as little as $4.36 a day:

Waves of immigrant minors present crisis for Obama, Congress

(Reuters) - Tens of thousands of children unaccompanied by parents or relatives are flooding across the southern U.S. border illegally, forcing the Obama administration and Congress to grapple with both a humanitarian crisis and a budget dilemma.

An estimated 60,000 such children will pour into the United States this year, according to the administration, up from about 6,000 in 2011. Now, Washington is trying to figure out how to pay for their food, housing and transportation once they are taken into custody.

The flow is expected to grow. The number of unaccompanied, undocumented immigrants who are under 18 will likely double in 2015 to nearly 130,000 and cost U.S. taxpayers $2 billion, up from $868 million this year, according to administration estimates.

The shortage of housing for these children, some as young as 3, has already become so acute that an emergency shelter at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, has been opened and can accommodate 1,000 of them, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said in an interview with Reuters.

The issue is an added source of tension between Democrats and Republicans, who disagree on how to rewrite immigration laws.

With comprehensive legislation stalled, President Barack Obama is looking at small, administrative steps he could take, which might be announced this summer.

No details have been outlined but immigration groups are pressing him to take steps to keep families with children together.

The minors flooding over the border are often teenagers leaving behind poverty or violence in Mexico and other parts of Central America such as Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala.

They are sometimes seeking to reunite with a parent who is already in the United States, also without documentation.

"This is a humanitarian crisis and it requires a humanitarian response," Senate Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Barbara Mikulski said in an interview. The Maryland Democrat, a former social worker, has likened the flood of unaccompanied children to the "boat people" of past exodus movements.

Senator Richard Shelby of Alabama, the senior Republican on Mikulski's committee, said, "The need is there, you know the humanitarian aspect of it, but we're challenged on money."

Immigration groups lobbying for comprehensive reform argue that children are being hit hardest by the political deadlock.

BLAME GAME

With an even bigger funding challenge looming for 2015, Mikulski worries corners might be cut. She said children could end up being placed in federal holding cells meant only for adults and that funds might have to be shifted from other programs, such as refugee aid, to help cover the $252-per-day cost of detaining a child.

Mark Lagon, who coordinated the George W. Bush administration’s efforts to combat human trafficking, tied the sharp increase in unaccompanied minors to both U.S. economic factors and escalating violence in Central America.

He noted that there was a decrease in migration to the United States in the period 2008-2010 that reflected the U.S. economic downturn, and that has been reversed.

"Now, it is again seen that there is a better life to be had in the United States and it’s worth the risk" of parents encouraging their children to make the perilous journey from countries like El Salvador and Honduras, said Langon, now a professor at Georgetown University and a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations.

Also, with drug wars raging in Mexico, those fleeing Central American countries are less likely to make Mexico their destination and instead continue onto the United States, he said.

The budget and border-security implications of the problem could spill into campaigns for the November congressional elections, especially in Senate races in states with significant immigrant populations, such as North Carolina and Colorado.

Republican Representative John Carter of Texas blamed Obama for what he called a "nightmare at the border" with "tens of thousands of children" being smuggled into the United States.

In an opinion piece in The Hill newspaper last month, Carter said Obama's policies had created an "invitational posture for illegal immigrants."

He said the administration helped to fuel the crossings with a 2012 decision to give temporary relief from deportation to certain children brought to the United States illegally by their parents.

Immigration advocacy groups point out that the unaccompanied youths coming to the United States since 2011 would not qualify under that program.

Lagon criticized the "political canard from my fellow Republicans" who suggest the tide of unaccompanied minors is the result of Obama policies, especially given Obama’s aggressive deportation policy since he became president in 2009.

A report by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, based on interviews of 404 children aged 12-17 who left their home countries, found that 70 percent did so because of either domestic abuse, or violence "in the region by organized armed criminal actors, including drug cartels and gangs or by State actors."

HARROWING JOURNEYS

Minors sometimes endure horrific conditions to get to the United States, immigration groups say.

Suyen G, who asked that her full name not be published, said she left her native Honduras two years ago aged 16 after securing $9,000 to pay a smuggler to get her into the United States. "I didn't know it was illegal because a lot of people come. I thought it was something that normal people just do," she said through a translator.

Suyen has a quick smile and looks like a typical American teenager in her sandals and fashionably-torn blue jeans. But she recounts a harrowing journey, saying she left home to escape a father who was beating her, and that along the way she was raped by a "coyote" or migrant smuggler. She endured 24 hours with no food as she sat atop a slow-moving freight train through Mexico and made an overnight trek by foot.

When she struggled to pull herself over a wall at the Mexico-U.S. border, Suyen said, "I thought I was going to die" after being shoved over by a coyote, plunging down the other side and landing atop a man below.

Unlike most kids, she entered the United States undetected, only to end up in a stranger's house in Houston. There, she said she was forced to work without pay for a month before being transferred to a vineyard, where she cooked meals, also without pay, for 300 migrant workers.

Reuters has not verified the details of her journey but Suyen told a similar story in a sworn deposition to an immigration court.

Finally, Suyen said, she was allowed to travel to northern Virginia where she was reunited with her mother.

Rebecca Walters, a lawyer in the northern Virginia office of Ayuda, which provides assistance to immigrants, helped Suyen win protective status and eventually a "green card" that allows her to work legally in the United States.

Walters said she typically juggles up to 60 cases at a time involving unaccompanied minors. A lot of her cases were boys who said they had friends who had been murdered for refusing to join gangs at home, she said.

Walters told of a boy from El Salvador who lived with an abusive, alcoholic father. The boy had to stop going outside to avoid getting beaten by gang members trying to recruit him.

In 2011, the boy and his brother, aged 16 and 15, arrived in the United States after walking for days in the desert. They were caught by U.S. authorities just inside border.

If not for the father's abuse, "it would have been almost impossible" to prevent the brothers' deportation, Walters said.

Minors who escape domestic abuse in their countries have a good chance of winning a special protective status from U.S. immigration courts, even if they are caught at the border. But the law does not recognize gang activity as a reason to protect immigrant children.

0 Plan to Use Military against US Citizens

Inside the Ring: Memo outlines Obama’s plan to use the military against citizens

Question of the Day

Should Congress make English the official language of the U.S.?

A 2010 Pentagon directive on military support to civilian authorities details what critics say is a troubling policy that envisions the Obama administration’s potential use of military force against Americans.

The directive contains noncontroversial provisions on support to civilian fire and emergency services, special events and the domestic use of the Army Corps of Engineers.


The troubling aspect of the directive outlines presidential authority for the use of military arms and forces, including unarmed drones, in operations against domestic unrest.

“This appears to be the latest step in the administration’s decision to use force within the United States against its citizens,” said a defense official opposed to the directive.

Directive No. 3025.18, “Defense Support of Civil Authorities,” was issued Dec. 29, 2010, and states that U.S. commanders “are provided emergency authority under this directive.”

“Federal military forces shall not be used to quell civil disturbances unless specifically authorized by the president in accordance with applicable law or permitted under emergency authority,” the directive states.

“In these circumstances, those federal military commanders have the authority, in extraordinary emergency circumstances where prior authorization by the president is impossible and duly constituted local authorities are unable to control the situation, to engage temporarily in activities that are necessary to quell large-scale, unexpected civil disturbances” under two conditions.

The conditions include military support needed “to prevent significant loss of life or wanton destruction of property and are necessary to restore governmental function and public order.” 

A second use is when federal, state and local authorities “are unable or decline to provide adequate protection for federal property or federal governmental functions.”

“Federal action, including the use of federal military forces, is authorized when necessary to protect the federal property or functions,” the directive states.

Military assistance can include loans of arms, ammunition, vessels and aircraft. 

The directive states clearly that it is for engaging civilians during times of unrest.

A U.S. official said the Obama administration considered but rejected deploying military force under the directive during the recent standoff with Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy and his armed supporters.

Mr. Bundy is engaged in a legal battle with the federal Bureau of Land Management over unpaid grazing fees. Along with a group of protesters, Mr. Bundy in April confronted federal and local authorities in a standoff that ended when the authorities backed down.

The Pentagon directive authorizes the secretary of defense to approve the use of unarmed drones in domestic unrest. 

But it bans the use of missile-firing unmanned aircraft.

“Use of armed [unmanned aircraft systems] is not authorized,” the directive says.

The directive was signed by then-Deputy Defense Secretary William J. Lynn

A copy can be found on the Pentagon website: http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/corres/pdf/302518p.pdf.

Defense analysts say there has been a buildup of military units within non-security-related federal agencies, notably the creation of Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) teams. 

The buildup has raised questions about whether the Obama administration is undermining civil liberties under the guise of counterterrorism and counternarcotics efforts.

Other agencies with SWAT teams reportedly include the Department of Agriculture, the Railroad Retirement Board, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Office of Personnel Management, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Education Department.

The militarization of federal agencies, under little-known statues that permit deputization of security officials, comes as the White House has launched verbal attacks on private citizens’ ownership of firearms despite the fact that most gun owners are law-abiding citizens.

A White House National Security Council spokeswoman declined to comment.

President Obama stated at the National Defense University a year ago: “I do not believe it would be constitutional for the government to target and kill any U.S. citizen — with a drone or with a shotgun — without due process, nor should any president deploy armed drones over U.S. soil.”...

[The Justice Department will publicly release a secret 2011 memo that provided the legal justification for the killing of American terrorism suspects overseas, according to a U.S. official, following extensive pressure on the administration to do so.
 
The department had been weighing whether to appeal a court order to disclose the memo but informed the White House on Tuesday that it would not, the official said. The decision came on the eve of a Senate vote on President Obama’s nomination of David J. Barron, one of the memo’s authors, to a federal appeals court judgeship.

[Obama violated the Fifth Amendment "with the avowed assassination of at least four American citizens, Anwar Al-Awlaki, his 16-year-old son, Samir Khan, and Jude Mohammed, without benefit of due process of law. Indeed, the death warrants against these individuals were effectively signed in secret, in a committee which is overseen directly by the president."

Looks like Obama is laying the foundation for martial law.
    Continuing to do so, it started with the Patriot Act...
    Add this to the internet "kill switch," NDAA, NSA spying and cameras everywhere. We are becoming prisoners in our own country.
      When the Boston Bomber escaped not only NSA surveillance but also escaped a "hail of bullets" and the American woman in an suv with a baby in her back seat was taken down with one shot in Washington DC for making the wrong turn at the White House WE THE PEOPLE know there is something very wrong in the USA.
        One shot, hell; she was taken down in a fusillade of bullets.
        Why does the Post Office, EPA, IRS and Department of Agriculture, etc... need to be overstocked with weapons and ammo? Are they backup for when our military refuse to follow Obama's orders? Yes, something is very wrong in the USA.

            I will say that Obama has shown one unmistakeable parallel with Hitler: how he's been treated by libs and Dems. I saw that clearly in Obama's initial run - the Dems were overjoyed to have a black presidential candidate, because his blackness meant the (leftist) media couldn't treat the cult of personality surrounding him as creepy, which they would have with any white candidate (they wouldn't be able to help themselves). They might as well have all been wearing arm bands and brown shirts.
              The Founders must be turning in their graves.
              • Problem today is that voices and actions that are in sync with the Founders are ineffective because so many citizens are fearful, apathetic, and/ or brain washed by leftist. As Ben Franklyn said; "a republic if you can keep it", unfortunately to many Americans are incapable. No closet patriotism for me, I publicly speak out against the Manchurian president!
