Also four days ago, CNN's Chuck Todd asked Senator Ben Sasse, "What is
Conservatism?" Sasse responded what a forceful defense of our
Constitutional Republic, the American People, our economic system and
personal responsibility.
Best of all, he mentioned
Rotary Clubs. "What makes America great is Rotary Clubs, it's small
business, it's churches, it's schools, it's fire departments, it's
little leagues..."
Sasse: "We need Washington to faithfully execute the laws."

Disparate Impact Regulation Tossed by Federal Judge
Disparate impact is a dismal theory of political racial policy used by the Obama Administration to accomplish political ends and punish businesses.
It makes the bad assumption that statistics can explain the results of, principally, lending practices and housing and business practices "without showing evidence of actual discriminatory intent."
This is like being declared guilty before being proven innocent, the opposite of the foundational American legal principle of innocence until proven guilty.

Scandal: America Invaded: Obama Encourages Child Invasion on Southern Border
In 2012, President Obama used an executive order (once again illegal) to grant effective amnesty to hundreds of thousands of "Dreamers," that is kids of illegal immigrants who have been raised in the US.
Subsequent to this, administrative actions have extended this to many who are not accompanied by parents or guardians. Since October 2013 to May 2014, about 47,000 have crossed the border. The scandal is that this fact was being kept quiet, all the while military barracks in Texas, Arizona and other locations have been converted into what are essentially refuge camps. Recently , the Administration has banned visitor to these camps. They have also forbidden Border Patrol officers from carrying personal electronic devices so that they cannot take pictures inside these centers. It is estimated that in the Nogales area almost 50% of CBP officers are working on the paperwork for these "kids." They are being promised lawyers and advocates so that they can be processed into green card holders.
Worse, word has been going around in South and Central America that this order effectively means the US will not turn away any children who end up crossing the southern border. So parents are making efforts to get them to the border. Incredibly, newspapers and US consulates in Central America are spreading the word that this opportunity exists, thereby encouraging the inrush.
As predicted by local law enforcement in Arizona, the "kids" are now showing signs of serious diseases like tuberculosis, whooping cough, flu, malaria, etc.
Why do I put "kids" in parentheses? because most of them are not really kids but teens and young adults. Many have criminal backgrounds or are gang members. This is why cameras have been taken away and access to the camps curtailed, so the truth of who they are can't be shown.
Soon after they arrive, many of the "kids" inquire about when they can get their Obama-phone.
Estimates are that in the next year, another 140,000 or more will show up and be accepted.
When the real (B6 BLS report) shows over 16% of working age people in the US are still unemployed, how can the government justify this invasion? I say it is not justifiable. The prognosis for more wasted money, disease propagation and social disruption is unparalleled. And all the far left-wingers can see is future voters.
UPDATE: Homeland Security announced yesterday that none of these "kids" will be going back! DOJ announced they will provide lawyers, which is patently illegal.

Mark Steyn at Heritage 2007: Prophecy Coming True?
Steyn talks about his book "America Alone" at the Heritage Foundation in 2007. The prophecy is scary and the intervening 6 years show he was mostly right.
See here: Mark-steyns-speech-to-the-heritage-foundation/
And for more fun, here is Pat Condell telling it straight-up: Why can't the Jews and Arabs just get along?
