Dang! They almost got 'er done!------BIG UPDATE— Baptist Child and Family Services Withdraws Bid for Palm Aire Resort

BIG UPDATE— Baptist Child and Family Services Withdraws Bid for Palm Aire Resort (Video) | The Gateway Pundit:
The Obama administration has awarded a $50 million contract to a charitable group to buy a Texas resort hotel and transform it in to a 600 bed facility for juvenile illegal aliens.
The beautiful Palm Aire resort and hotel has an indoor Olympic sized pool and an outdoor pool.  Free Wi-Fi and cable TV are included in the simply decorated guest rooms.
The Palm Aire Hotel and Suites is set to be sold to Baptist Child & Family Services (BCFS) operating under a federal contract, pending local government approval, according to reports from Weslaco, Texas where the hotel is located. Weslaco is a few miles north of the Rio Grande in Hidalgo County.
The resort hotel for illegal alien children is reportedly the ‘first in the nation’.
Now this…
Due to backlash the charity received after the story was posted on The Drudge Report, Baptist Child and Family Services withdrew it’s bid for the Palm Aire Resort.
The charity said it was disappointed and that the resort would have been perfect for the illegal alien children.

19 FACTS ABOUT ILLEGAL ALIENS EVERY AMERICAN SHOULD KNOW... You'll Never Learn About These From Our Propagandist Media

19 FACTS ABOUT ILLEGAL ALIENS EVERY AMERICAN SHOULD KNOW... You'll Never Learn About These From Our Propagandist Media:
The following are 19 very disturbing facts about illegal immigration that every American should know:
#1 57 percent of all households that are led by an immigrant (legal or illegal) are enrolled in at least one welfare program.
#2 According to one study, the cost to U.S. taxpayers of legalizing current illegal immigrants would be approximately6.3 trillion dollars over the next 50 years.
#3 The Obama administration has distributed flyers that tell illegal immigrants that their immigration status will not be checked when they apply for food stamps.

#4 The Department of Homeland Security says that it has lost track of a million people that have entered this country but that appear never to have left.
#5 One out of every five children living in Los Angeles County has a parent that is in the country illegally.
#6 In one recent year, taxpayers in Los Angeles County spent 600 million dollars on welfare for children of illegal immigrants.
#7 Thanks to illegal immigration, California’s overstretched health care system is on the verge of collapse. Dozens of California hospitals and emergency rooms have shut down over the past decade because they could not afford to stay open after being endlessly swamped by illegal immigrants who were simply not able to pay for the services that they were receiving. As a result, the remainder of the health care system in the state of California is now beyond overloaded. This had led to brutally long waits, diverted ambulances and even unnecessary patient deaths. At this point, the state of California now ranks dead last out of all 50 states in the number of emergency rooms per million people.
#8 It has been estimated that U.S. taxpayers spend $12,000,000,000 a year on primary and secondary school education for the children of illegal immigrants.
#9 It is estimated that illegal aliens make up approximately 30 percent of the population in federal, state and local prisons and that the total cost of incarcerating them is more than $1.6 billion annually.
#10 The federal government actually has a website that teaches immigrants how to sign up for welfare programsonce they arrive in the United States.
#11 The Obama administration recently introduced the very first “unmanned” border station along the Texas-Mexico border.
 Train with illegals
#12 The Obama administration has sued individual states such as Arizona that have tried to crack down on illegal immigration.
#13 According to the FBI, there are approximately 1.4 million gang members living in our cities. Illegal immigration has been one of the primary factors that has fueled the growth of these gangs.
#14 As I have written about previously, there are only about 200 police officers assigned to Chicago’s Gang Enforcement Unit to handle the estimated 100,000 gang members living in the city.

#15 Mexican drug cartels make approximately 6.6 billion dollars a year “exporting” illegal drugs to the United States.
#16 It is an open secret that Mexican drug cartels are openly conducting military operations inside the United States. The handful of border patrol agents that we have guarding the border are massively outgunned and outmanned.
#17 According to the Justice Department’s National Drug Intelligence Center, Mexican drug cartels were actively operating in 50 different U.S. cities in 2006. By 2010, that number had skyrocketed to 1,286.

#18 Overall, more than 55,000 people have been killed in drug-related violence in Mexico since 2006. That same level of violence will eventually show up in major U.S. cities unless something dramatic is done about illegal immigration.
#19 It is being projected that the Senate immigration bill will bring 33 million more people to the United States over the next decade.

Senator Warns All Congress: Obama Threatens our Constitutional Republic

Senator Warns All Congress: Obama Threatens our Constitutional Republic:
"Known for his strong support of a secure U.S. border, Senator Sessions had a letter penned by him on the subject of the illegal alien invasion hand-delivered to all 535 members of Congress on Monday. He cut to the chase from the very beginning by opening the letter with the statement, “I write to inform you of a development that threatens the foundation of our constitutional Republic.”

Breitbart obtained a copy of the letter that details Sessions grave concerns about the impact of the lawlessness of the Obama administration regarding illegal migration into the United States."

CDC's Tom Frieden Says Agency Culture Contributed to Anthrax Lapse

CDC's Tom Frieden Says Agency Culture Contributed to Anthrax Lapse - Businessweek:
The most troubling thing about the Centers for Disease Control’s recent disclosure that 81 agency employees may have been exposed to live anthrax last month is that it wasn’t the first lapse of its kind.
Government watchdogs have warned for years about weaknesses in federal labs dealing with dangerous bugs. The CDC’s own report on the June incident details four other times that pathogens inappropriately left high-security labs since 2006, including an earlier case involving anthrax. While investigating the latest mishap, CDC Director Tom Frieden also discovered that a contagious strain of avian flu was unintentionally shipped to a lower security Department of Agriculture lab in March.
“What we’re seeing is a pattern that we missed, and the pattern is an insufficient culture of safety,” Frieden told a congressional panel on Wednesday. There may be more disclosures to come as the agency reviews its practices, he said.

What could possibly go wrong?-----Democrats partner with Detroit to offer absentee ballot applications via smart phones, Internet

Democrats partner with Detroit to offer absentee ballot applications via smart phones, Internet | MLive.com:
DETROIT, MI -- Detroit elections are entering the digital age with the help of Democrats.
Detroit City Clerk Janet Winfrey, alongside Michigan Democratic Party Chair Lon Johnson, on Wednesday announced a new smart phone and online application process available to voters wishing to secure an absentee ballot.
Detroit is the first city in the state to move to an electronic application process, although up to three more cities are expected to announce similar plans between next week up through the primary election in August with "many more" before the general election, Johnson said.
In the past, Detroit only accepted absentee ballot applications via mail, fax and hand delivery. 
Johnson cited the inability to obtain an authentic digital signature as the reason but says new technology makes it possible.
"We know we want to engage the least likely voter," Winfrey said. "For this election, it is the 18- to 35-year-old, and we know that the least likely voter has their cell phone attached to their hip so why not be able to use their smart phone to request an absentee ballot."
Winfrey, who ran an unsuccessful 2010 campaign as a Democrat to become Secretary of State, said the partnership has nothing to to with partisan politics.
"It could have been done with the Democratic Party, it could have been done with the Green Party, Libertarian, Republican Party, it doesn't matter," she said, "What matters is that we have the ability now to use our smart phones to access voter information as well as request an absentee ballot."

LIBERTY REVIEW

LIBERTY REVIEW:

http://www.libertyreview76.blogspot.com/2014/07/america-by-tammy-derouin-i-went-to.html

We are perfectly capable of identifying tyranny on the silver screen and in our personal lives. We understand because we have unalienable rights; life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.  We understand nature’s law.  We have a God given right to speech, religion and to defend ourselves and our family and property.  So why do so many Americans have a problem identifying tyranny and abuse of power when it’s happening to America?

White House: It's A Good Thing That Obamacare Will Drive 2.5 Million Americans Out Of The Workforce

White House: It's A Good Thing That Obamacare Will Drive 2.5 Million Americans Out Of The Workforce
Yesterday, Washington’s official non-partisan bean-counter, the Congressional Budget Office, dropped a bomb. 
By 2024, says the CBO, Obamacare will reduce the size of the U.S. labor force by 2.5 million full-time-equivalent workers. 
That’s roughly triple what the CBO had estimated three years ago. 
Such a sizeable decline in the labor force will have substantial detrimental effects on the U.S. economic and fiscal picture. 
But the CBO wasn’t responsible for the most amazing thing that happened yesterday. 
That title belongs to the Obama White House, where Press Secretary Jay Carney claimed that 2.5 million Americans leaving the workforce was a good thing, because they would no longer be “trapped in a job.”

This Rape Repellant Bra Will Shock You…Literally

This Rape Repellant Bra Will Shock You…Literally:
"Engineering students in New Delhi have developed a bra that shocks and burns potential attackers.
It also has GPS.
Nearly two years ago, the gruesome gang rape and murder of a young woman on a bus in New Delhi left many Indians shocked and saddened.
Tens of thousands took to the streets of the capital, urging the government to act.
Eventually, lawmakers passed stringent new anti-rape legislation.
But for some concerned citizens like Manisha Mohan, changing the law wasn’t enough.
The 22-year-old engineering student wanted to give women a way to defend themselves against attackers, something that went beyond mace, pepper spray or mixed martial arts.
So over the past year, Mohan and two of her fellow students developed a rape-repellent bra that can shock and burn attackers."

The California Heritage Market, operated by the West Coast Collective, opened for business in Boyle Heights over the Fourth of July weekend, attracting big crowds hoping to sample the offerings.

Message From The CBO: 'WAKE UP!! It's Still The Economy Stupid'

"The Lid": Message From The CBO: 'WAKE UP!! It's Still The Economy Stupid'
Message From The CBO: 'WAKE UP!! It's Still The Economy Stupid'


Over the last few months our attention has turned away from the economy.  Not that there hasn't been other important things to worry about, presidential scandals, affronts against our first amendment rights by Obamacare and the IRS, and our fourth amendment right by the NSA, the infighting in the GOP, the IRS hiding evidence, problems overseas, the loss of US credibility,  etc. and so on.   A report by the CBO issued yesterday should remind us of what we've forgotten ---it's the economy stupid!

The United States is still spending too much, the economy is slowing down, entitlements are still strangling our budgets, tax rates are too high, and the national debit is threatening our future.


According to the CBO budget deficits are projected to rise steadily and, by 2039, to push federal debt held by the public up to a percentage of GDP seen only once before in U.S. history (just after World War II). The harm that such growing debt would cause to the economy is not factored into CBO’s detailed long-term projections but is considered in further analysis presented in this report.

These are the issues that the GOP needs to focus on, these are the Issues that threaten our future and the future of our children. Key points from CBO’s Long-Term Budget Outlook report:
  • Federal Debt Is Soaring: The debt has doubled since the onset of the financial crisis, and CBO concludes the growth in the debt is “unsustainable.”
  • Now Is the Time to Act: CBO says that prompt decisions to rein in future deficits, would expand employment and economic growth.
  • The Economy Is Slowing Down: CBO has again lowered its projection of GDP growth, and the average number of hours worked by Americans is shrinking.
  • Spending Is Still the Problem: Major entitlements and interest on a growing stock of debt will cause real spending to soar by 27 percent over the next two decades.
  • Raising Taxes Will Cost Jobs: Taxes will exceed their historic average level this year, and they are on pace to rise even further. Yet these tax increases still never match the pace of spending, even while they discourage work, saving, and investment.
  • Entitlement Reform Is Key: We run the risk of breaking our promise to seniors and future generations if we don’t reform our entitlement programs soon. CBO has increased their measure of Social Security’s unfunded liability by 25 percent.
  • The Debt Threatens Our National Security: CBO warns that our growing national debt could compromise national security by constraining defense spending and limiting the country’s ability to prepare for future challenges.
In response to the report, House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan(R-WI) issued the following statement:
“If this report tells us anything, it’s that the status quo isn’t working, and families are paying the price. We need to expand opportunity for everyone in this country, and we can start by getting federal spending and debt under control. That’s how we can make the federal government more accountable and more effective.”
