DNC Chair: Republicans Believe Illegal Immigration 'Should be a Crime' CNSnews.com
"Wasserman Schultz at a Christian Science Monitor Breakfast on May 26.
“We have 12 million undocumented immigrants in this country that are part of the backbone of our economy and this is not only a reality but a necessity,' she said.
'And that it would be harmful--the Republican solution that I’ve seen in the last three years is that we should just pack them all up and ship them back to their own countries and that in fact it should be a crime and we should arrested them all.”"
Not withstanding the fact that no elected GOP has EVER said "we should pack them all up...." (doesn't that make her a liar?) her comment ought to be hilarious.
If it was a SNL skit.
But unfortunately, the chairman of the democrat party thinks illegal isn't a crime.
And she's got millions of followers who have that same notion.
We have a culture problem here in our once great country.

Obama Recovery Still Feeble After Two Years
Editorial: Obama Recovery Still Feeble After Two Years - Investors.com
"Anyone think we're better off than we were two years ago?
On Tuesday, a trio of reports gave fresh evidence that the answer to this question is no.
Single family home prices dropped in March to their lowest level since April 2009;
the consumer Confidence Index tumbled to a six-month low of 60.8;
and regional manufacturing is slowing. In the Chicago area, it fell to its lowest level since November 2009"
You can believe Obama's liberal MSM or your own lyin' eyes.

Three thousand new oil wells to be drilled in Texas within the year
Three thousand new oil wells to be drilled in Texas within the year Anonymous Beltway Confidential Washington Examiner
"Oil prices could soon fall with the discovery of 20 new onshore oil fields in West Texas, which not only will boost the U.S. economy but also will line up with Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal’s hope for lower oil prices -- just not quite in a way he likes."
Just wait and see how the Obama boys try to kill this one!

Emanuel: Heat-Related Illness Forced North Avenue Beach Shutdown
"There had been some speculation about what really happened.
Police sources have a different explanation.
They said Tuesday that the beach was shut down in response to the large crowds of people showing up all at once, and police not having enough manpower to control the chaos.
Beachgoers at North Avenue have also faced the threat of violence from flash mobs and wilding on busy days in recent months.
Last month at North Avenue Beach, sources say a group of about 100 teens surrounded two people on bikes.
Both were knocked off their bikes and thrown into Lake Michigan.
Mayor Emanuel said he did not know anything about the reported crowd control problem."
He's not even as good a liar as the old Soviets!
Or colonel Klink!

"I used to think Romanians were so fortunate that they did not know how unfortunate they were in their daily lives, struggles, and misery. Now I think how unfortunate it is that Americans do not know how fortunate they are to live in the world’s best country, yet are willing to change everything on the empty promise of “hope and change” to a non-existent Utopia."

Michigan labor thugs' extortion scheme
Owens: Michigan labor thugs' extortion scheme themichiganview.com The Michigan View
"File this one under 'Pathetic.'
The latest attempt by Michigan organized labor to maintain the illusion of popular support for their positions is to intimidate small business owners.
Taking a page from the Wisconsin playbook, a front group organized by labor unions had planned to go door to door to businesses in the Escanaba area and 'ask' them to support 'working families' by putting up signs in their windows or other visible area.
In the Wisconsin experience, businesses that refused to do so were threatened with boycott.
The labor groups then go to the local media and claim that businesses support their efforts as evidenced by the signs posted.
The effort fizzled after enough 'volunteers' couldn't be rounded up even though there were plans to bring them in from outside the area."
More than pathetic.
A window into the mind of thugs who would control our society with goons and thuggery.

A boost in tourism will aid one of Michigan's big businesses
Editorial: A boost in tourism will aid one of Michigan's big businesses MLive.com
"Much of the credit for that increase goes to a rebounding economy.
Some of the spike can be attributed to the award-winning Pure Michigan advertising campaign.
The return on investment for that campaign — the tax dollars generated for those spent — is well established."
"Well established"?
By who?
If this "boost" was caused by or helped in any significantly measurable way by the ads, wouldn't the private businesses who benefited be adding their own money for more advertising?
But they're not.
What does that tell you?

Memorial Day History
"In 1915, inspired by the poem 'In Flanders Fields,' Moina Michael replied with her own poem:
We cherish too, the Poppy red
That grows on fields where valor led,
It seems to signal to the skies
That blood of heroes never dies.
She then conceived of an idea to wear red poppies on Memorial day in honor of those who died serving the nation during war.
She was the first to wear one, and sold poppies to her friends and co-workers with the money going to benefit servicemen in need.
Later a Madam Guerin from France was visiting the United States and learned of this new custom started by Ms.Michael and when she returned to France, made artificial red poppies to raise money for war orphaned children and widowed women.
This tradition spread to other countries."

Massive state, local tax increases and record high revenue must pay down debt
"The most frightening fact revealed by the latest BEA data is the steady increase in “Total Expenditures” quarter by quarter, year by year throughout the recession, despite politicians shrieking hysterically about “cuts.”
First quarter state and local government spending increased 12.3 percent from 2007 to 2011. It went up every year.
Annual spending went up every year throughout the recession for a total increase of 8.1 percent from 2007 through 2010.
But the second scariest numbers are those showing “Total Expenditures” bigger than “Total Receipts” back to 1985, with the deficits growing bigger and bigger every year despite claims of “balanced” budgets.
What are the scariest numbers?
The ones not even on the books.
State and local politicians refuse to account for at least $18 trillion in hidden debts and obligations they have run up secretly, like shopaholics with a stolen credit card."

SCOTUS Makes It Official: California A Failed State
SCOTUS Makes It Official: California A Failed State Via Meadia
"The controversial US Supreme Court decision (pdf) that could ultimately force California to release tens of thousands of prison inmates is more than a shockingly broad exercise of judicial power.
It is also an official declaration by the highest constitutional authority in the land that California meets the strict test of state failure: it can no longer enforce the law within its frontiers.
Let there be no mistake: when you produce so many criminals that you can’t afford to lock them up, you are a failed state.
Virtually every important civil institution in society has to fail to get you to this point.
Your homes and houses of worship are failing to build law abiding citizens, much less responsible and informed voters.
Your schools aren’t educating enough of your kids to make an honest living.
Your taxes and policies are so bad that you are driving thousands of businesses away.
Your management systems must be fouled and confused to the max for you to create something so dysfunctional, so wildly beyond your means, that the Supreme Court of the United States (wisely or foolishly is another question) starts to micromanage your jails.
California used to be the glory of this country, the dream by the sea, the magic state.
Now it produces so many criminals it can’t pay to keep them locked up.
This is partly a blue social model thing.
California’s public unions are sucking the state dry — like a parasite killing its host."

‘Cause I shook hands with a Digger

And brand new baby girl.

In a job that must be done
And I let go of his hand
So proud to be Australian."

"Chanz" went on to become the Thunderbirds commander leader.
There is a lot of history in this piece."
