Healthcare for Illegal Aliens Could Cost CA Taxpayers Billions
Healthcare for Illegal Aliens Could Cost CA Taxpayers Billions | NumbersUSA:
"The California state legislature has passed a measure that will use an Affordable Care Act (ACA) loophole called an “innovation waiver” to offer healthcare subsidies to illegal aliens.
Through the innovation waiver a state can apply to expand coverage as along as they pay the extra costs, which could be in the billions.
If the measure is approved, it would make 390,000 illegal aliens living in California eligible for healthcare subsides.
The average federal subsidy is around $3,300, which means this waiver could cost California taxpayers $1.3 billion annually.
Some estimate that California provides larger subsides, especially for lower-income families that are closer to $5,200, which would raise the price tag for taxpayers to over $2 billion annually.
...Last month Gov. Brown sent out a press release saying that the state could not pay off the $430 billion it already owes and the governor’s office projects that California will have a $4 billion budget deficit by 2019..."

Bigots? No, Heroes: U.S. Gun Owners Everywhere Offering FREE Shooting Lessons to Gays | PJ Media:
"In the wake of the terrorist attack at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, some are arguing that the American gun community -- and its overlapping "homophobia" -- is to blame.
Well, law-abiding gun owners haven't had time to respond, because they are too busy offering to teach gays -- and anyone else, for that matter -- how to shoot. And they are offering to cover all expenses.

Student used pepper spray to take down Seattle campus shooter
Student used pepper spray to take down Seattle campus shooter:
"SEATTLE — Video surveillance of the 2014 shooting at Seattle Pacific University shows a male student pepper spraying the shooter, seizing the shooter’s shotgun and then detaining him until another person arrived to help.
The King County Prosecutor’s Office on Tuesday released 18 DVDs of surveillance video captured on June 5, 2014, and prior days.
A three-minute excerpt shows the take-down of Aaron Ybarra, the 27-year-old man who shot and killed one student and injured two others at the Seattle school’s campus.
KING 5 and other news organizations went to court to obtain the videos, which the prosecutor’s office had acquired as part of its investigation and ongoing prosecution of Ybarra. KING 5 has not decided not to air the footage in full, recognizing that it could be disturbing to many viewers, especially the SPU community..."

Whistleblower Hits College Board for SAT Changes
Whistleblower Hits College Board for SAT Changes | Heartlander Magazine:
"The former director of assessment design for College Board, the organization that owns the SAT and Advanced Placement tests, is alleging its SAT rewrite has been riddled with shoddy work and public deceptions.
College Board released a rewritten SAT this spring.
Manuel Alfaro reveals, among other things:
My first assignment with the College Board was to review a draft of the test specifications for the redesigned SAT.
The document had been created by two of David Coleman’s cronies, two authors of the Common Core. … My instructions were to rubberstamp the selection of standards and to rewrite the standard descriptions to make them unrecognizable, so that no one could tell they were Common Core.
More:
The College Board tells the public, content advisory committee members, and clients that operational items [questions students answer on real tests] are revised only in the RAREST of occasions.
Facts, however, show that a large percentage of operational items on each form (often greater than 50%) are extensively revised/rewritten.
And no, I’m not talking about adding a missing comma here, fixing a typo there, or changing the standard alignment.
Sometimes the revised items are completely different than the version that was pretested..."

He’s caved to the “body positivity” movements nonsense.

In light of the massacre of dozens of people at a gay club in Orlando, it’s worth re-visiting the comments of Islamic speaker Fahad Qureshi, who admitted that the desire to see homosexuals killed was a belief held by so-called “moderate” Muslims.
In light of the massacre of dozens of people at a gay club in Orlando, it’s worth re-visiting the comments of Islamic speaker Fahad Qureshi, who admitted that the desire to see homosexuals killed was a belief held by so-called “moderate” Muslims.
During a conference held in May 2013, Qureshi complained that the media often frames views such as “the death penalty for homosexuals” or the subjugation of women as only being held by radical Muslims.
“I always try to tell them that….these are general views that every Muslim actually has….every Muslim believes in these things,” says Qureshi.
Qureshi then asks the audience of Muslim attendees – black, white and Arab – to raise their hands if they agree with gender segregation and stoning women for adultery, as taught by the Koran.
Virtually every single ‘moderate’ Muslim in the room raises their hand to agree with these positions..
...It has also been confirmed that just weeks before Omar Mateen’s rampage, Muslim cleric Sheikh Farrokh Sekaleshfar called for gays to be executed during a sermon at an Orlando-area mosque.
Sekaleshfar also called for homosexuals to be killed “out of compassion”.
“Death is the sentence. There’s nothing to be embarrassed about this. Death is the sentence,” Sekaleshfar said during a 2013 sermon at the University of Michigan..."

LIBERTY REVIEW
LIBERTY REVIEW:
http://libertyreview76.blogspot.com/2016/06/june-15-2016-leftist-drum-by-tammy.html
Sitting in a waiting room is about the only time I’m exposed
to the puppet show of the main stream media or Left Wing entertainment. News has become entertainment and entertainment
has become an extension of the controlling arm of government. Sometimes it’s
difficult to tell one from the other as they both march to the beat of the
leftist drum. I wonder how long it will
be before we have just one, government approved, news channel.
This past week I was held captive by a television in a waiting room. I did my best to block it out but found it extremely difficult to listen to a man’s voice talking as if he were a woman. I was unable to see the TV so the dialog was even more concerning. Two things came to mind. One, I truly felt sorry for this individual. He, and he is a he, needs help. But, not the nip, tuck or enhancement kind of help which is being followed by the demand that the original he or she, which is now a she or he, should be accepted into either restroom or activity based on how one identifies themselves at the moment. Two, I am sick and tired of the Left pushing their destructive agenda on the rest of us!

The Leftist Drum
By Tammy Derouin
Waiting rooms are no longer scattered with layers of
magazines to thumb through as you sit and wait for an appointment. Cell phones, which have become everyone’s
center of the universe, have become the go-to device for anything and
everything. Televisions, however, are in
most waiting rooms. Unless you are
somehow able to block out the sound, you are held captive by a jabbering box of
someone else’s idea of entertainment or news.

Homeland Security Adviser: 9/11 Was Good Thing | The Daily Caller:
"One of the sitting members on the Homeland Security Advisory Council’s (HSAC) Subcommittee on Countering Violent Extremism is a 25-year-old immigrant of Syrian heritage who said that the 9/11 attacks “changed the world for good” and has consistently disparaged America, free speech and white people on social media.

Laila Alawa was one of just 15 people tapped to serve on the newly-formed HSAC Subcommittee on Countering Violent Extremism in 2015 — the same year she became an American citizen.
Just last week, the subcommittee submitted a report to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, recommending that the DHS avoid using Muslim terminology like the words “sharia” and “jihad” when discussing terrorism.
Just last week, the subcommittee submitted a report to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, recommending that the DHS avoid using Muslim terminology like the words “sharia” and “jihad” when discussing terrorism.
Alawa says she immigrated into the U.S. when she was ten years old. Her family had already left Syria by the time she was born. “But I will always be Syrian. I will always be from Syria. I will always be of Syria,” she wrote in November 2015, calling the country her “homeland.”
In 2014, Alawa commemorated the September 11 attacks by tweeting that “9/11 changed the world for good, and there’s no other way to say it.”
Exactly a year later, she claimed that, after September 11, “Being American meant you were white.”
Surviving A Mass Shooting: This Is What You Must Do If Confronted By An Assailant Who Is Intent On Killing You
Surviving A Mass Shooting: This Is What You Must Do If Confronted By An Assailant Who Is Intent On Killing You:
Editor’s Note:
It has been reported that of the 50 people who died in the Orlando massacre, about half of them were killed by their attacker inside of a bathroom.
The problem is that most people never consider the possibility that they’ll ever be faced with a deadly threat.
To their detriment, they never personally war game such a scenario.
While running is an option, it may not be possible when all hell breaks loose.
In the following article from The Market Ticker, author Karl Denninger outlines the threat, your options, and what you absolutely must do if you want to survive.

You MUST Change Your Attitude-By Karl Denninger
This is not going to be easy for you to read folks.
But if you do read it all the way through, and then act on it, it may save your life.
The events in Orlando make clear a few points.
...Here it is, in short:
If confronted with overwhelming and superior force by an assailant who appears to be intent on killing you the only logical position you can adopt and the view you must adopt is that you are dead right there, right now.
Is attempting to flee in such a situation practical?
Maybe, if you can actually flee.
But “to flee” means getting well clear (beyond quick-action firearm range) and do so using cover and/or concealment so you cannot be assaulted during the process.
Read on and learn.
Or expect the police to save you and your family.
Or not.....

I’ve shot pistols before, but never something like an AR-15. Squeeze lightly on the trigger and the resulting explosion of firepower is humbling and deafening (even with ear protection).The recoil bruised my shoulder. The brass shell casings disoriented me as they flew past my face. The smell of sulfur and destruction made me sick. The explosions — loud like a bomb — gave me a temporary case of PTSD. For at least an hour after firing the gun just a few times, I was anxious and irritable.
Even in semi-automatic mode, it is very simple to squeeze off two dozen rounds before you even know what has happened. In fully automatic mode, it doesn’t take any imagination to see dozens of bodies falling in front of your barrel.
