* TWO-PARTER... (Part 1 of 2)
http://www.creators.com/conservative/pat-buchanan.html
* GOD BLESS PAT BUCHANAN FOR TELLING IT LIKE IT IS!
Thousands of U.S. troops safeguard the border of South Korea. U.S. warships patrol the South China Sea to stand witness to the territorial claims of Asian allies against China.
U.S. troops move in and out of the Baltic States to signal our willingness to defend the frontiers of these tiny NATO allies.
Yet nothing that happens on these borders imperils America so much as what is happening on our own bleeding border with Mexico.
Over three decades, that border has been a causeway into the USA for millions of illegal immigrants who are changing the face of America — to the delight of those who think the country we grew up in was ugly.
All sides of this quarrel have been using the figure of 11 million people here illegally. In her new best-seller, "Adios, America!," Ann Coulter makes a compelling case that the real figure is close to 30 million.
* I'M ACTUALLY READING COULTER'S BOOK NOW...
* IT'LL GET A STAND-ALONE POSTING WHEN I'M DONE.
If that is true, and if the next president embraces amnesty and a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants, that will mean the end to America as the Western nation we have been, and the beginning of America's life as what Ann calls, unapologetically, a "Third World hellhole."
* I CONCUR.
Indeed, when we consider the certain consequences of a failure to secure the border for six more years, and amnesty for people already here illegally, igniting a new invasion, we should ask ourselves: What problem do we Americans confront that will be more easily solved with millions more immigrants?
(*SIGH*)
Between 80% and 90% of those coming are from Third World nations.
On average, they have higher illegitimacy rates than native-born Americans, higher drug use rates, higher rates of obesity, spousal abuse and child abuse, higher rates of disease, lower test scores and higher dropout rates, and higher crime and incarceration rates.
Children of immigrants are more gang-oriented.
Third World immigrants consume more per capita in social services than they pay in taxes.
(Hence they contribute to fiscal deficits at every level of government.)
Will millions more immigrants help solve our infrastructure crisis?
* OBVIOUSLY NOT...
(*JUST SHAKING MY HEAD*)
Undeniably, poor immigrants provide cheap labor for businesses and the rich.
* NOT JUST "THE RICH." THE WEALTHY... THE WELL-OFF... MILLIONS WHO CONSIDER THEMSELVES "MIDDLE CLASS."
(*SIGH*)
But their working- and [true] middle-class American neighbors bear the social costs that they inflict upon communities.
(*NOD*)
* TO BE CONTINUED...
* CONCLUDING... (Part 2 of 2)
Politically, immigrants from Third World countries, as they rely upon government for food, housing assistance, health care and the education of their children, support the Party of Government.
Mitt Romney lost the two fastest-growing major minorities, Hispanics and Asians, who now account for more than a fifth of our population and a seventh of our voters, by 40 points.
* YO! RINO MORONS! WHAT IS IT ABOUT THIS NUMBER THAT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND...?!
And as their numbers and voting percentages rise, the GOP will find that reaching 270 electoral votes is not only more difficult than in Reagan's day, it has become impossible.
Among the myths or lies drummed into the heads of Americans is that we have always been a "nation of immigrants," and "diversity," i.e., racial, ethnic and religious diversity, "is a strength." But America in 1970 was a white nation with a black minority of about 10%.
As Coulter writes, "Nearly the entire white population of America from 1600 to 1970 came from a geographic area of the world about twice the size of Texas. The entire black population came from an area of West Africa about the size of Florida."
[But in any case,] is ethnic, racial and religious diversity truly a "strength?"
* NOT NECESSARILY!
[If so,] why then has the most diverse region of Europe - the Balkans — with its Serb, Croat, Albanian, Slovenian, Macedonian, Turkic peoples, and Catholic, Orthodox and Islamic religions, had the bloodiest history?
Was it not racial and ethnic diversity that tore the Soviet Union into 15 nations and half a dozen sub-nations - and is ["diversity" not to this day] tearing at it still in the Caucasus?
(*SIGH*) (*NOD*)
If diversity is a strength, why is Beijing, which worships strength, moving millions of Han Chinese into Tibet and western China to swamp the Tibetan and Uighur peoples, as they have done to the Mongolian and Manchu peoples?
How did diversity work out for Rwanda and Burundi?
If diversity is a strength, then why are Iraq, Syria, Libya and Yemen falling apart? Why are Sunni and Shiite, Palestinian and Israeli fighting? Why are Scots, Basques, Catalans, Venetians and Flemish agitating for secession and independence?
(*SMIRK*)
Has the addition of tens of millions of Asian and African Muslims strengthened the Old Continent that ruled the world? (Or do they imperil its security and survival as the cradle and heartland of the West?)
* THE LATTER!
As racial, ethic and religious hatreds pull people apart and create terrorists all over our disintegrating world, why would we make ourselves ever more diverse?
* STUPIDITY? SELF-LOATHING? GREED? IGNORANCE? PSYCHOLOGICAL INBALANCE?
Writes Coulter, "Roe v. Wade can be overturned. ObamaCare can be repealed. Amnesty is forever."
(*PURSED LIPS*) (*NOD*)
Anyone concerned for the future of this country as one nation and one people should find a candidate who will commit to secure the border, enforce immigration laws against businesses that hire illegal immigrants, and pledge no amnesty for the duration of their presidency.
* TWO-PARTER... (Part 1 of 2)
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/jun/15/121-murders-attributed-illegal-immigrants-released/
More than 100 immigrants whom the Obama administration released back into the community went on to be charged with subsequent killings, according to government data released Monday that raises more questions about whether immigration authorities are doing enough to detail illegal immigrants awaiting deportation.
* Er... WHAT "QUESTIONS?" CLEARLY THEY'RE NOT!
In one case, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement acknowledged that its agents didn’t find out about an illegal immigrant’s death threats and court injunctions against him — which should have put him back in detention — until after the man was accused of murder.
(That case, involving Apolinar Altamirano, is the latest instance of someone who went through the Obama administration’s deportation system and was released, only to go on to be charged with major crimes.)
ICE officials say they don’t regularly notify local authorities when they release an immigrant and don’t have a way of finding out from those authorities whether a former detainee gets into trouble with the law, so they didn’t know whether Mr. Altamirano’s $10,000 bond should have been revoked.
* THESE "OFFICIALS" SHOULD BE FIRED.
“ICE was not aware of the injunctions against Mr. Altamirano until after his January 22, 2015 arrest for first-degree murder, armed robbery and related offenses,” the agency said in a letter to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, Iowa Republican, and Sen. Jeff Flake, an Arizona Republican in whose state the killing occurred.
All told, 121 immigrants who were held but eventually released by ICE went on to commit “homicide-related offenses” from 2010 through 2014, the agency said.
It said 33 of those were ordered released by immigration courts and another 24 were released because of a 2001 Supreme Court decision capping the time an immigrant can be detained to six months. But a majority of the releases were at ICE’s discretion.
* AS TO THE CAP... THEN DEPORT THEM WHEN THE CAP IS REACHED! SIMPLE!
In a statement Monday, ICE said that a criminal record isn’t enough to qualify for mandatory detention under agency policies.
* ...UNDER AGENCY POLICIES.
* YOU'RE READING THIS - RIGHT, FOLKS?!
“When making custody determinations, ICE performs an individualized review of the individual’s immigration history and criminal history, pursuant to the Immigration and Naturalization Act (INA),” the agency said. “In accordance with the requirements of the INA, not all criminals are subject to mandatory detention and thus may be eligible for bond.”
* THIS... IS... INSANITY...!!!
Detention cannot be used as a further punishment for their crimes or for being in the country illegally, but rather must be used as a tool for further deportation.
* AGAIN... INSANITY...!!!
* TO BE CONTINUED...
* CONCLUDING... (Part 2 of 2)
Still, ICE [supposedly] stiffened its policies this year, insisting that a supervisor approve cases when the agency plans to release immigrants with serious criminal records.
* BUT...
Even those released are usually monitored in some fashion, though The Washington Times reported last week that most of those under electronic monitoring violated some conditions of their release. Few violations were deemed serious enough to have their release revoked.
(*SNORT*)
Critics who have been pushing for stiffer immigration enforcement said the violence rate for released immigrants is probably much higher and the 121 charged are only those who have been caught.
* DUH...
“Illegal immigration is not a victimless crime,” said Maria Espinoza, co-founder of the Remembrance Project, which advocates for victims of crimes committed by immigrants. “This further supports what we have been fighting for. The safety and welfare of Americans must be the priority of the administration and the Republican-led Congress.”
* IT'S NOT.
(*SHRUG*)
Don Rosenberg, whose son was killed in a traffic accident by an illegal immigrant driving without a license, said the government lacks the willpower to deport people and to do it quickly. “These people can and should be deported. We have that option, and we don’t want to take it, and this is what happens,” he said. “I guess until somebody who has the responsibility to make these decisions has one of their loved ones killed, it’s going to continue to happen.”
* IF I WERE IN YOUR PLACE, DON...
* I'LL JUST LEAVE IT THERE...
In the case of Mr. Altamirano, he was put in deportation proceedings on Jan. 3, 2013, and released after posting bond four days later. His first hearing before the immigration court wasn’t until April 9, 2014, and he was still awaiting a final deportation order in January this year when he was arrested on charges of shooting a convenience store clerk in Mesa, Arizona.
* GEEZUS...
Mr. Grassley and Sen. Jeff Sessions, Alabama Republican and chairman of the immigration subcommittee, are seeking answers from Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Secretary of State John F. Kerry.
* THERE ARE NO "ANSWERS." THIS IS THE SYSTEM THESE SCUM HAVE CREATED! DELIBERATELY!
The senators want to know why Mr. Kerry hasn’t put more pressure on other countries to take back their citizens whom the U.S. wants to deport. Under the 2001 Supreme Court ruling known as the Zadvydas case, the U.S. generally cannot detain foreigners longer than six months if their countries won’t accept them. Every year, thousands of immigrants are put back on the streets because of Zadvydas.
* CONGRESS SHOULD SIMPLY REMOVED THE SUPREME COURT'S JURISDICTION OVER THIS MATTER.
Republicans have long pressured the State Department — under President George W. Bush and now under President Obama — to use diplomatic tools such as denying visas to top officials try to force other countries to take back their citizens.
* THIS IS A PRESIDENT WHO DOESN'T HESITATE TO INVADE FOREIGN COUNTRIES! THIS IS A PRESIDENT WHO DOESN'T HESITATE TO SEND SEAL TEAMS... TO SEND ARMED DRONES... ON ASSASINATION MISSIONS INTO "SOVEREIGN" FOREIGN TERRITORY! AND YET SUPPOSEDLY WE CAN'T RETURN ILLEGALS TO THEIR COUNTRY OF CITIZENSHIP? WHAT... UTTER... NONSENSE...!
The Times reported that ICE releases hundreds of Cuban criminals into U.S. communities every year because the island nation refuses to take them back.
* PEOPLE LIKE MR. ROSENBERG NEED TO... MAKE A STATEMENT... VIA ACTION, NOT WORDS.
* TWO-PARTER... (Part 1 of 2)
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/06/15/exclusive-rand-paul-obamatrade-tax-hikes-on-small-businesses-mean-republicans-should-oppose-revival-efforts/
Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) is calling on Republicans in the House — and upon the grassroots nationwide — to oppose efforts by House Ways and Means Committee chairman Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) to revive ObamaTrade via a tax increase hidden inside the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) portion of the deal.
* RYAN IS SIMPLY DOING BOEHNER'S BIDDING...
* GOD BLESS RAND PAUL...!!!
Paul said when asked to react to an article from Breitbart News from late Sunday evening exposing the tax increase in the deal: "You know, typically to pass these kinds of things the establishment will try to buy off Democrats by sprinkling money so they have some money in there. To get the money, under our budget rules, we have to pay for it — so they want to pay for it with a fine on small businesses. But I thought a point that was made in the article which was pretty good is this is similar to the fines they wanted to do in ObamaCare with 1099s and there was such an outcry it’s the only part of ObamaCare we ever repealed. So I think when people discover they’re sticking a tax increase in there I think people will be even more unhappy."
* BOEHNER IS OUR ENEMY, FOLKS... YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THIS...
Paul said he recommends all Republicans vote against TAA when Ryan and House GOP leadership bring it back up on Tuesday for an attempt to revive it after it embarrassingly failed 302-126 when they tried to pass TAA last week in the House.
To send Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) to President Obama’s desk, TPA and TAA have to pass as a package. A bipartisan coalition formed to take down TAA last week, therefore temporarily killing ObamaTrade as a whole — but House GOP leadership, at Ryan’s insistence, is going to try to change the game and pass TAA again on Tuesday despite the fact it raises taxes on small business.
* FOLKS... IF THE DEMOCRATS REPRESENT "STAGE 4 CANCER" THAN THE RINOs REPRESENT "STAGE 3 CANCER." BOEHNER... RYAN... MCCONNELL... THE BUSH FAMILY...
(*SIGH*)
Leadership didn’t tell any of the members — including the 86 Republicans who voted for TAA last week — that they put the tax increase in the deal, so most of them who voted for it had no idea they were voting to violate a pledge they all made to Grover Norquist’s Americans for Tax Reform.
* BOEHNER... ("LEADERSHIP" = BOEHNER.)
That’s largely because leadership was so dead-set on trying to convince rank-and-file Republicans to grant Obama fast-track authority under TPA — so that Obama can speed through at least three highly secretive trade deals, the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (T-TIP), and Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA) — because the donor class wants open borders trade so badly.
* TO BE CONTINUED...
* CONCLUDING... (Part 2 of 2)
Most members who support TPA didn’t even read the TPP text because it’s kept in a secretive room in the Capitol basement and only members can go in to read it — and they’re only allowed to, in certain instances, bring staffers with high enough security clearances with them.
TiSA and T-TIP text is not even available for members to read, so there’s actually no way any member of Congress who supported TPA can know what it was they were actually voting for.
* AND "WE THE PEOPLE" HAVEN'T RISEN UP AND LITERALLY DRAGGED THESE BASTARDS FROM THEIR OFFICES...
(*JUST SHAKING MY HEAD*)
* WHAT'S IT GONNA TAKE TO GET THE SHEEPLE INTERESTED?
Paul told Breitbart News: "We borrow a million dollars a minute, so the first question I’d ask is where is the money coming from? They have a pay-for in there, but is it really a real pay-for? A lot of these pay-fors are basically set; they stick them on there as accounting gimmicks to say they’re going to pay for the money somehow. But the bottom line is they want to raise some kind of fees or fines through the IRS to get money from certain industries, so I’d say that and that this trade deal is secret, and I don’t want to give President Obama any more power."
* GOD... BLESS... RAND... PAUL...
Paul said he expects the issue of ObamaTrade to be a big deal on the 2016 campaign trail. It’s already separated the field as Paul, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, Donald Trump, Carly Fiorina, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, former Texas Gov. Rick Perry and others oppose it.
Sens. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) – and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush — among others - support it.
(*PURSED LIPS*)
* FOLKS... I GIVE CRUZ THE SAME "BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT" I GIVE PAUL. HE'S WRONG ON THIS... BUT HE'S RIGHT ON 90% OF OTHER BIG ISSUES.
(*SHRUG*)
* RUBIO? NAH. HE'S JUST A PHONY. AGAIN... DELVE INTO HIS ACTUAL VOTING RECORD. HE BELIEVES IN CRONY CAPITALISM. BEYOND THAT... HE'S A BUSH PROTÉGÉ - BY HIS OWN CLAIMS!
“Everywhere I go, people come up to me and say ‘thank you for not giving the president more power’ ‘thank you for voting against TPA,’” Paul said. “So I think it does resonate with people, and we’ll see how these things shake out, but it fits my message - because I’ve been saying we gave the president too much power and he’s tried to grab too much power on immigration, healthcare, war power and now really with trade."
(*NOD*)
"Part of the checks and balances is having equal amounts of power with each branch of government can jealously guard their power and I think it’s a mistake to give too much power to the president. That’s why their decision to make the treaty classified makes me suspicious — when people are not allowed to read it.”
* FOLKS... EXPLAIN TO ME ONCE MORE HOW VIOLENCE ISN'T THE ANSWER...
http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/budget-office-u.s.-debt-picture-has-worsened-dramatically/article/2566337
Congress' budget office on Tuesday again warned that the U.S. faces a massive debt problem, using stark language to describe the government's long-term mismatch between spending and revenues even as it slightly upgraded its projections for debt over the next 25 years.
"The long-term outlook for the federal budget has worsened dramatically over the past several years, in the wake of the 2007-2009 recession and slow recovery," the Congressional Budget Office reported in its long-term budget outlook for 2015 released Tuesday.
* NO... (*SMIRK*)... "IN THE WAKE OF CONGRESS REFUSING TO ADJUST SPENDING DOWNWARD TO MATCH ECONOMIC REALITY!"
The Budget Office, a non-partisan in-house think tank for Congress, projected that the federal debt is set to rise from 74% of economic output today to 103% by 2040...
* ENOUGH WITH THIS 2040 CRAP. JUST GIVE ME THE PROJECTIONS OVER THE NEXT 5-10 YEARS.
(*SHAKING MY HEAD*)
...driven by spending on government healthcare and retirement programs and interest payments on the debt.
* REMEMBER HOW OBAMA AND THE DEMS PROMISED US THAT OBAMACARE WOULD ACTUALLY CUT DEFICIT SPENDING...???
(*SPITTING ON THE GROUND*)
The budget office warned that debt would still be growing in 2040.
(*SNORT*)
It also could be nearly twice as large by 2040 as in the baseline estimate if a more realistic guess about how Congress will act in the years ahead and the economic feedback from higher debt placing a drag on economic growth are taken into account.
* WHAT THEY'RE SAYING IS THAT THE CBO CAN ONLY PLUG IN THE NUMBERS THEY'RE GIVEN... THE ESTIMATES... THE SCENARIO... THAT THEY'RE GIVEN BY THE POLITICIANS. THE ABOVE STATEMENT IS BASICALLY A REALITY-CHECK... AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY GETTING LOW-BALLED NUMBERS...
(*SIGH*)
Although the long-term budget picture is dark thanks to the anticipated costs of the Baby Boom generation retiring, the federal debt is anticipated to decline for the next few years, thanks partly to spending cuts and tax increases imposed by Congress in recent years.
* THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE. IT'S GOTTA BE A MISPRINT. HOW CAN THE DEBT DECLINE WHEN DEFICITS WILL STILL EXIST?
(*SNORT*)
* FRIGGIN' STUPID REPORTERS AND INCOMPETENT EDITORS...
(*ROLLING MY EYES*)
But the larger development is the government dedicated more and more tax dollars to entitlement and healthcare programs.
Spending on Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, ObamaCare subsidies and other healthcare programs will rise from an average 6.5% of gross domestic product over the past 50 years to 14.2% of GDP by 2040.
* AGAIN... THIS IS LOW-BALLING IT...
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/jun/16/obama-amnesty-extends-businesses-hire-illegals/
President Obama took office vowing to go after unscrupulous employers who hire illegal immigrants, but worksite audits have plunged over the last year and a half according to a report released Tuesday by the Center for Immigration Studies - tumbling along with the rest of immigration enforcement.
(*SMIRK*)
Fewer owners are being arrested and fewer fines are being collected as well according to the report - which suggests that even as he offers amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants, Mr. Obama is giving a similar free pass to ever more businesses who provide the jobs magnet that draws them.
(*PURSED LIPS*)
Through the first five months of this fiscal year, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) conducted just 181 workplace audits and brought charges against only 27 employers, putting it on pace for fewer than 500 audits and just 65 arrests this year. That’s less than 15% of the total audits conducted in 2013.
* ONE MORE TIME...
That’s less than 15% of the total audits conducted in 2013.
(*CLENCHING MY JAW*)
“Employers now face very little risk in hiring illegal workers and have little incentive to abide by the law,” wrote the report author, Jessica Vaughan, policy studies director at the center.
Mr. Obama’s administration early on stopped the Bush administration practice of workplace raids...
(*GNASHING MY TEETH*)
Instead, the Obama administration began what became known as “virtual raids” — audits of paperwork, to figure out if a business was hiring illegal workers. Done right, it can be effective, Ms. Vaughan said, and it produced results at the beginning of Mr. Obama’s tenure. But over the last year and a half, even the virtual raids have slowed, and so have arrests and fines, Ms. Vaughan found.
* TWO-PARTER... (Part 1 of 2)
http://cnsnews.com/news/article/brittany-m-hughes/after-hacking-us-personnel-files-chinese-will-dine-kerry-mt-vernon
Kerry will be hosting the Communist Chinese at Mount Vernon, the Virginia estate of George Washington, less than three weeks after the Office of Personnel Management announced that the personnel files of some four million current and former federal employees had been hacked, reportedly by the Communist Chinese.
* BUSINESS AS USUAL...
(*JUST SHAKING MY HEAD*)
Secretary of State John Kerry said he will meet with Chinese leaders next week for the annual U.S.-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue and then hold “a dinner at Mount Vernon” for them.
* DISGRACEFUL...
The secretary of State mentioned his upcoming meetings and dinner with the Chinese at Mount Vernon specifically in response to a question about the administration’s negotiations with Iran that seek to get Iran to agree to restrictions on its nuclear-related activities. The Chinese are one of the P5+1 nations that are working with the administration to negotiate with the Iranians.
On June 4, OPM first announced “a cybersecurity incident potentially affecting personnel data for current and former federal employees, including personally identifiable information (PII).”
* "INCIDENT." UH-HUH...
“As a result of the incident, OPM will send notifications to approximately 4 million individuals whose PII may have been compromised,” the OPM said in a statement.
That same day, citing unnamed “U.S. officials,” The Washington Post reported that the “Chinese state” was responsible for the hack. “Hackers working for the Chinese state breached the computer system of the Office of Personnel Management in December, U.S. officials said Thursday, and the agency will notify about 4 million current and former federal employees that their personal data may have been compromised,” the Post reported in a story headlined “Chinese breach data of 4 million federal workers.”
In a statement updated on Monday, the OPM reported that it had discovered that “additional systems were compromised.”
(*SARCASTIC CLAPPING*)
“These systems included those that contain information related to the background investigations of current, former, and prospective Federal government employees, as well as other individuals for whom a Federal background investigation was conducted,” OPM said in the statement.
* GREAT! JUST GREAT!
* TO BE CONTINUED...
* CONCLUDING... (Part 2 of 2)
Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said the hackers are believed to have been based in China, and that the breach is “yet another indication of a foreign power probing successfully and focusing on what appears to be data that would identify people with security clearances,” the Associated Press reported on June 4.
"This tells the Chinese the identities of almost everybody who has got a United States security clearance," Joel Brenner, a former top U.S. counterintelligence official, told the AP in the article. "That makes it very hard for any of those people to function as an intelligence officer. The database also tells the Chinese an enormous amount of information about almost everyone with a security clearance. That's a gold mine. It helps you approach and recruit spies."
* WHO NEEDS SPIES WHEN YOU HAVE THE MANCHURIAN PRESIDENT IN THE OVAL OFFICE?
During a press briefing on June 10, Earnest stated that Chinese President Xi Jinping’s scheduled visit to the United States in September will proceed despite concerns over the Chinese cyberhack.
He also said the U.S. had not yet identified the perpetrator of the hacking.
* ANYONE BELIEVE HIM? ANYONE AT ALL?
“On the OPM breach, why does President Obama plan to go forward with giving the President of China the honor of an official state visit here given not only this breach but the thousands of other cyber-attacks that this administration has documented that China has carried out against us?” a reporter asked during the briefing.
“The United States has not at this point identified a perpetrator in this latest reported breach of the OPM computer system. So I don't have any new information for you on that. That's something that continues to be under investigation by the FBI,” Earnest responded. “But as it relates more broadly to China, we have previously on a number of occasions expressed our concern to the Chinese about some of their activities in cyberspace,” he said.
* WE'VE EXPRESSED OUR... CONCERN...???
* FOLKS... YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS $HIT UP!
“Some of those activities have actually resulted in a Department of Justice indictment of five Chinese military members. So I think that's a pretty clear statement that we have concerns broadly about some of China’s activities in cyberspace.”
* WHICH MEANS NOTHING! WHAT A FRIGGIN' JOKE! THESE PEOPLE - I'M TALKING OUR OWN LEADERS - HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO RESPECT FOR US!
http://sacramento.cbslocal.com/2015/06/16/california-water-cuts-leave-city-days-away-from-running-out-of-water/
The community of Mountain House, California is days away from having no water at all after the state cut off its only water source.
* AFTER THE STATE CUT OFF IT'S WATER...
The upscale community of Mountain House, west of Tracy, is days away from having no water. It’s not just about lawns — there may not be a drop for the 15,000 residents to drink.
* "UPSCALE COMMUNITY?" WHAT'S THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING...???
“We’re out there looking for water supplies as we speak,” said Mountain House general manager Ed Pattison. “We have storage tanks, but those are basically just to ensure the correct pressurization of the distribution system. No more than 2 days are in those storage tanks.”
The community’s sole source of water, the Byron-Bethany Irrigation District, was one of 114 senior water rights holders cut off by a curtailment notice from the state on Friday.
* AGAIN... THE STATE... WATER SUPPLIES DELIBERATELY CUT OFF BY THE STATE...
That means Mountain House leaders must find someone to sell them water, hopefully, the GM says, to have enough until the end of the year.
A number of water districts plan to sue the state on the grounds the State Water Resources Control Board has no legal authority to cut off some of California’s oldest and most protected water rights.
* POWER TRUMPS "RIGHTS" EVERY TIME...
(*SHRUG*)
The decision has Mountain House in uncharted territory, and the clock is ticking before the water runs out. Pattison is confident he’ll be able to buy some water to avoid catastrophe, but says that’s a short-term fix. He’s planning to diversify the water supply for long-term stability.
http://sacramento.cbslocal.com/2015/06/12/california-farmers-worry-senior-water-rights-cuts-in-drought-could-be-devastating/
California ordered dramatic cuts to farmers who have water rights dating back more than 100 years to help with the drought.
* Er... FOLKS... IT'S THE CUTTING OFF OF WATER SUPPLIES THAT IS CAUSING THE MOST "DROUGHT DESTRUCTION."
Notices have been sent to 114 senior rights holders, telling them to stop diverting water and to stop releasing previously stored water. Those who violate the order face fines up to $1,000 a day and $2,500 per acre-foot.
* IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T BEEN FOLLOWING IT... BASICALLY THE DEMCRATS IN CALIFORNIA ARE TRYING TO DESTROY CALIFORNIA AGRICULTURE.
Those with water rights dating back before 1903, however, can continue to divert water.
* HOW... er... GENEROUS...
The impacts will be felt far and wide, perhaps no harsher than an area near Tracy, California where farmers fear they could lose their farms, and thousands of homeowners are worried about being without water.
* WHO NEEDS FARMS! OBAMA WILL PROVIDE!
(*SNORT*)
“It’s gonna be a devastating thing,” said farmer Paul Simoni with Simoni and Massoni Farms. “We got 125 employees who work for us. They’re all gonna be out of work. We’ve got crops that are in the ground growing right now. If they cut off the water, they’re gonna die.”
* LET THE PEOPLE EAT DIRT!
Simoni says with no water, he could lose everything he’s worked so hard and so many decades to do.
* YA THINK...?!?! (YEAH... I'VE HEARD THAT FARMS NEED WATER...)
“We’ve never had to rely on wells because we have pre-1914 rights that we were told could never be taken from us and here,” he said. “This is a day from Hell.”
* GUNS vs. PROMISES? GUNS WIN. AND THE STATE HAS THE GUNS.
(*SHRUG*)
Simoni gets his water from the Byron Bethany Irrigation District west of Tracy, one of 114 senior water rights holders cut off on Friday by the State Water Resources Control Board. “This is ridiculous,” he said. “I mean if somebody would’ve said something March 1 we were gonna get curtailed, we never would’ve planted anything.”
* THE STATE'S RESPONSE: "F-U!"
The impact could be widespread and devastating, with this district alone serving 160 farmers and 10,000 acres of farmland. The district warns of millions in crop losses and major job losses.
