National suicide-------TSA Admits Lying About Illegal Aliens Flying Without Proper ID
"A new letter from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) admits that illegal aliens were being allowed to board planes using Notice to Appear forms received after entering the U.S. illegally.
The revelation directly contradicts a TSA statement last month denying such allegations to various media outlets, including Breitbart News.
In July Breitbart Texas Managing Director Brandon Darby broke the news that the TSA was letting illegal aliens board planes using Notice to Appear forms; subsequently, a TSA spokesperson publicly attacked Darby on Twitter, insisting that his report was "completely wrong."
The newly-surfaced TSA letter was penned on August 7, according to the Gateway Pundit.
It was reportedly sent from the TSA to Rep. Kenny Marchant (R-TX), a member of the Border Security Caucus.
The letter confirms that illegal aliens are being allowed to board planes using a Notice to Appear form (also known as I-862), as Darby revealed in July.
Hector Garza, a spokesman for the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) told Darby that Notice to Appear forms can "easily be reproduced or manipulated on any home computer.
The Notice to Appear form has no photo, anyone can make one and manipulate one.
They do not have any security features, no watermark, nothing. They are simply printed on standard copy paper based on the information the illegal alien says is the truth."
According to the Gateway Pundit, the August 7 letter from the TSA admitted, "If a passenger does not have an acceptable form of identification, then the passenger is allowed to present two other forms of identification.
One of the two forms of identification must bear the individual’s name and other identifying information such as photo, address, phone number, social security number, or date of birth.
TSA may assess a variety of government issued documents to establish passenger identity.
The I-862 form may be used along with another form of identification in this instance.""
One of the few times we agree with the NBPP------Open carry advocates march in South Dallas
Open carry advocates march in South Dallas | wfaa.com Dallas - Fort Worth:
"DALLAS — It's their version of community policing — the community arming itself against police.
"Open Carry Texas all the time gets a pass," said organizer Charles Goodson.
"We hope that the same applies to us, and there is no contradiction from the Dallas power structure."
Just like the Open Carry Texas demonstrations that have been controversial in North Texas and around the country, this was one was, too.
The group of about 30 men and women walked along the street near the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X boulevards.
It included members of the Dallas New Black Panther Party and the Huey P. Newton Gun Club.
Like other open carry demonstrators, they marched with weapons out in the open, getting some of the same startled reactions.
"He was kind of scared," said a woman who was leaving Elaine’s Kitchen with her son. "We didn’t know what was going on."
This message wasn’t just about the Second Amendment right to bear arms; it was also about calling attention to police brutality in Dallas and across the country."

GUIDELINES or EDICTS? “The guidelines for snacks are very strict, and there is no wiggle room.”---Elyria students lose the pink cookie
Elyria students lose the pink cookie - Chronicle-Telegram:
"ELYRIA — Students no longer will eat the traditional Elyria pink cookie — the soft, buttery-sweet confection found only in school cafeterias across the city.
The federal government saw to that.
Its edict calling for school districts to provide more fruits and vegetables, lean proteins and whole grains to students along with fewer calories, fat and cholesterol has resulted in the loss of the pink cookie.
“We can’t have them in the cafeteria for sale, period,” said Scott Teaman, food services director with Sodexo Inc., the district’s contracted food provider.
“The guidelines for snacks are very strict, and there is no wiggle room.”
......Over the years, the cookies have developed a cult following.
The cookies even were dubbed the “Best Cafeteria Cookie” by Cleveland magazine in 2009."

Postal Service workers' comp costs rise as headcount falls | Federal Times | federaltimes.com:
"Even as the Postal Service has cut hundreds of thousands of employees its workers’ compensation costs continue to grow, according to an Aug. 19 report by the Postal Service inspector general.
The Postal Service paid $1.3 billion in workers’ compensation claims and another $67 million in administrative fees in fiscal 2013, according to the report.
Despite cutting its workforce by more than 172,000 employees since 2008—from 663,000 then to 491,000 in 2013—workers’ compensation costs have grown 35 percent.
The agency currently has about 16,380 workers expected to draw compensation for more than 60 days, according to the report.
...The Postal Service also pays more than the industry standard: The Bureau of Labor Statistics calculates that private industry workers’ compensation in the same occupations cost 73 cents per work hour, while the Postal Service paid $1.16 per work hour in fiscal 2013, according to the report.
The agency could save $477 million if it capped workers’ compensation benefits by time and amount, and required employees to take generic drugs for prescriptions when available, according to the inspector general.
However, that would require Congress to pass legislation amending the Federal Employee Compensation Act."

SOOPA drunk with a free Crown Vic!-----Detroit councilman charged under Michigan's super drunk law
Detroit councilman charged under Michigan's super drunk law | Detroit Free Press | freep.com:
"Detroit City Councilman Scott Benson was arraigned this week on charges that his blood alcohol level during a June traffic stop was high enough for him to be charged under Michigan’s so-called super drunk laws that carry stiffer penalties, officials said today.
Southfield Police said Benson’s blood-alcohol level was .244 — far above the .17 threshold for high-BAC drunken driving arrests — after he was found slumped over the steering wheel of his city-issued Ford Crown Victoria the night of June 29 on the southbound Southfield Freeway service drive just north of 8 Mile.
Benson was arraigned Thursday in Southfield’s 46th District Court on charges of driving with a blood alcohol level of .17 or higher and of having open intoxicants in the vehicle. The city later took the councilman’s car away. "

Could Prohibition Still Be Slowing the Craft Beer Boom?
"This week marks the sixth year bars, brewers, distributors and other beer enthusiasts will come together to celebrate the beer community in our nation’s capital.
One of the educational events, which was held last night, was a “drinking seminar” on How Government Affects Your Beer.
From taxes, which make up about half the cost of a beer, to the one man in the Treasury Department who approves every beer label, to the laws that dictate how brewers can sell their beer, rules and regulations have a huge impact on the cost, availability, and variety of beer in the market—something that should be of interest to any maker or lover of craft beer."

The Absurd, Bureaucratic Hell That Is the American Police State
The Rutherford Institute :: The Absurd, Bureaucratic Hell That Is the American Police State:
"“The greatest evil is not now done in those sordid ‘dens of crime’ that Dickens loved to paint.
It is not done even in concentration camps and labour camps.
In those we see its final result.
But it is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voices.
Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the office of a thoroughly nasty business concern.”—C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters
Whether it’s the working mother arrested for letting her 9-year-old play unsupervised at a playground, the teenager forced to have his genitals photographed by police, the underage burglar sentenced to 23 years for shooting a retired police dog, or the 43-year-old man who died of a heart attack after being put in a chokehold by NYPD officers allegedly over the sale of untaxed cigarettes, the theater of the absurd that passes for life in the American police state grows more tragic and incomprehensible by the day."
