Busy Month for Illegal Immigrants Committing Heinous Crimes - Judicial Watch:
As the separation of families pouring in from Mexico dominates the airwaves several disturbing cases involving illegal aliens shift the focus back to the devastating impact of America’s poorly guarded southern border. In the last few days alone, an illegal immigrant who had been deported eleven times attacked his wife with a chainsaw in front of their children, another got charged with a series of violent rapes and dozens were arrested for operating a major human and drug smuggling enterprise in a major U.S. city.

The Shocking Waste Hidden Inside the $126 Billion Afghan Reconstruction - Reason.com
The Shocking Waste Hidden Inside the $126 Billion Afghan Reconstruction - Reason.com
"Congress has appropriated $126 billion for Afghanistan reconstruction since Fiscal Year 2002," wrote Special Inspector General John F. Sopko in testimony delivered in May to the Senate Subcommittee on Federal Spending Oversight and Emergency Management.
By 2014, he added, inflation-adjusted appropriations for that purpose "had already exceeded the total of U.S. aid committed to the Marshall Plan for rebuilding much of Europe after World War II."
So much money, spent so fast, inevitably generates many examples of projects poorly or wastefully executed.
Afghanistan reconstruction is no exception, as the ongoing work of Sopko's office of the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) makes clear.
Here are a few of the most head-smackingly absurd.
Astounding waste, read all!

Illegal Immigration: Yes, Democrats Are Now The Party Of Open Borders
Illegal Immigration: Yes, Democrats Are Now The Party Of Open Borders
"Illegal Immigration: We've been seeing a lot of articles these days defending Democrats against charges that they are for open borders.
But recent events show that the party has, in fact, morphed into one that reflexively opposes virtually any attempt to secure the southern border.
For years, Democrats tried to portray themselves as tough on border security, even as they argued for amnesty for all illegal immigrants currently in the country.
Sometimes they slipped, as Hillary Clinton did when, in a paid speech in 2013, she talked about her dream of open borders.
(She quickly tried to explain away her comment, once it surfaced, as having to do with energy.)
But several events over the past few days have blown the party's cover on illegal immigration.
On Wednesday, the House voted on a bill that simply expressed Congress' "continued support for all United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers and personnel who carry out the important mission of ICE" and "the efforts of all Federal agencies, State law enforcement, and military personnel who bring law and order to our Nation's borders."
Such nonbinding resolutions don't have the force of law.
They're just a statement.
Just 18 Democrats voted for this resolution.
Thirty-five voted no.
And the other 133 dodged the issue altogether by voting "present." ...

10 Ways Trump Put Real Muscle in U.S. Policies, Defenses Against Russia
10 Ways Trump Put Real Muscle in U.S. Policies, Defenses Against Russia
"Democrat and media-type claims of treason by the president are rendered utterly ridiculous by these publicly available facts
"Democrat and media-type claims of treason by the president are rendered utterly ridiculous by these publicly available facts
Something ultimately beneficial may result from the unprecedented week of hysteria, including repeated charges of treason from Democrats and liberal media types, sparked by President Donald Trump’s Helsinki summit meeting with Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin.
That something is a sharper public understanding of the numerous ways in which Trump has reversed the accommodation, wavering and vacillation that marked former President Barack Obama’s approach during his eight years in the Oval Office to dealing with Putin.
Obama’s weakness was epitomized by the “red line” he drew in Syria against chemical weapons.
Obama did nothing when Syria’s Russian-backed dictator killed hundreds of civilians with chlorine gas. Putin subsequently annexed Crimea and openly backed insurgents trying to return Ukraine to Russian control.
Jason Chaffetz Angle Open
While multiple unpublicized measures have been undertaken by U.S. intelligence and military assets since Trump was inaugurated Jan. 20, 2017, the following dozen initiatives on the public record amount to a near-complete reversal of the Obama years:
1.) Deployed U.S. Patriot missiles in Poland to counter Russian nuclear-capable intermediate-range weapons, including aircraft and cruise missiles in a “hot war” aimed at Europe. As Newsweek described it July 6, 2017, “in a move set to counter Russia’s reinforcement on NATO’s borders, Poland and the U.S. have agreed that Warsaw will purchase the American-made Patriot air defense missile.”...

US Fighters May Carry StormBreaker Foul-Weather Bomb by Next Year | Military.com
"FARNBOROUGH, England -- Testing for Raytheon’s Stormbreaker precision-guided bomb, which can go after moving targets in bad weather, is "going so well" it may be fielded earlier than expected, according to company officials.
"FARNBOROUGH, England -- Testing for Raytheon’s Stormbreaker precision-guided bomb, which can go after moving targets in bad weather, is "going so well" it may be fielded earlier than expected, according to company officials.
The U.S. Air Force's System Programs Office "is looking at [the bomb and saying], 'This is going so well' that they're pulling the timeline left because they want to potentially field it early," said Jim Meger of Raytheon's Missile Systems business development. Meger spoke to Military.com Tuesday during an interview at the Farnborough air show here.
...The F-15E Strike Eagle, Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet and F-35 Joint Strike Fighter are all expected to carry the bomb.
While the legacy fighters may get the StomBreaker earlier, the F-35 is not expected to carry it until roughly 2022, officials said.
The Air Force, which classifies the bomb as the GBU-53, is the lead service on the program..."

Mueller's witch hunt a growing disaster for national security
Mueller's witch hunt a growing disaster for national security:
Is it time to shut the Mueller investigation down?
The evidence is mounting that Special Counsel Robert Mueller's open-ended investigation into whether President Trump colluded with the Russians to steal the election from Hillary Clinton (which has turned up nothing on that specific front) is becoming more than just a political burr under the saddle of President Trump. It may be a growing national security problem.
Here are four points that demonstrate the extent of this problem.

'Boy or girl?' Parents raising 'theybies' let kids decide
"One way of shielding children from gender stereotypes: Keep their biological sex secret.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Three-year-old twins Zyler and Kadyn Sharpe scurried around the boys and girls clothing racks of a narrow consignment store filled with toys.
Zyler, wearing rainbow leggings, scrutinized a pair of hot-pink-and-purple sneakers.
Kadyn, in a T-Rex shirt, fixated on a musical cube that flashed colorful lights.
At a glance, the only discernible difference between these fraternal twins is their hair — Zyler’s is brown and Kadyn’s is blond.
Is Zyler a boy or a girl?
How about Kadyn?
That’s a question their parents, Nate and Julia Sharpe, say only the twins can decide.
The Cambridge, Mass., couple represent a small group of parents raising “theybies” — children being brought up without gender designation from birth.
