[Investors] Infiltration: Normally, suspected terrorists wouldn't get within 100 feet of Capitol security. But Democrats asked police to stand down and let operatives from a Hamas front group to attend, of all things, the State of the Union.
Two representatives of the Council on American-Islamic Relations were invited as guests of honor at the urging of Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz -- and with the consent of the White House.
In a letter to lawmakers, Wasserman explained that inviting these and two dozen other Muslim guests to the president's speech would show "the world that we will not be intimidated by fear into discrimination" against Muslims in the wake of last month's massacre by Muslim terrorists in San Bernardino.

So the Left-wing Marxist-Commie HAMAS in Gaza got invited to the SOTU, BUT NOT THE LATE YASSER ARAFAT'S RIGHT-WING NATIONALIST AL-FATAH in the WB???
Thats a'mighty Anti-Unitarian of our Unitarian Govt. in Congress.
[Daily Excelsior] Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton ... sometimes described as the Smartest Woman in the World and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Dean Acheson ... called today for an end to raids by US officials to deport undocumented Central American families, saying they were divisive ...politicians call things divisive when when the other side sez something they don't like. Their own statements are never divisive, they're principled... and sowing fear in immigrant communities.
Breaking with President Barack Obama I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody... , Clinton condemned the raids carried out by the Department of Homeland Security and released a plan that she said would help protect Central American families seeking asylum.
"I do not think the raids are an appropriate tool to enforce the immigration laws. In fact, I think they are divisive, they are sowing discord and fear," Clinton said at the Iowa Brown and Black forum on minority issues.
Rivals for the Democratic nomination Senator Bernie Sanders ...The only openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords... of Vermont and former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley ...former Democratic governor of Maryland and aspiring presidential candidate, known locally as The One-Man Economic Wrecking Crew. O'Malley was elected to his second term driven by union support and near-Stalinesque vote margins in Baltimore city (82%) and Prince George's County (88%). He presided over more than 40 tax or fee increases, including a rain tax and a flush tax... have both spoken out against the raids, and participated in the forum.
Clinton had been slower to distance herself from the policy, though it has been condemned by many immigration groups and Democrats in Congress.
As she spoke at the forum, Clinton's campaign released a statement and paper calling for a stop to the raids. It also advocated government-funded counsels for all unaccompanied minors in immigration court and a long-term, comprehensive fix to asylum and refugee programs that would include more officers, translators and immigration judges, as well as investment in development in Central America.
"If the United States takes the lead in organizing a regional coalition to respond to this crisis, I believe we can make a serious difference," Clinton said in a statement.
Polls show Clinton, the front-runner for the Democratic nomination in the November election, is clinging to a narrow lead over Sanders in Iowa, which kicks off the nominating race on February 1. The polls show she trails him in the next state to vote, New Hampshire.
The recent raids pursued families with undocumented members, in what some immigration groups viewed as a response by officials to a deter Central Americans flooding across the boder in the southwest.
Sanders said the United States should be careful in deporting the undocumented back to potentially unstable situations in Central America.
"We have a moral responsibility. What refugee status is about is to make sure that people are not forced to return to communities where their lives may be in danger," he told the forum.

These raids are ridiculous. They are expensive, and I think they are done on purpose to make people think that getting illegals out of their country is a bad thing.
Better way: Make sure only citizens and legal residents are allowed housing. Anyone caught breaking this law gets their place put up for public auction. If it doesn't get at least half of what it's worth, it's bulldozed and burned with all contents in place. The money goes to building The Wall.

Yes, yet another example of 'motion confused with progress.' Real progress begins at the border. I dislike the idea of 'raids' for another reason.

The raids may be just kabuki, but the illegals affected have already had their day in court and are deportable. Why shouldn't we start with them?
Just do it

I always liked the concept of getting them to self-deport by depriving them of job opportunities, welfare, education and drivers licenses. But the raids don't bother me. Sowing fear and discord in their communities is an added benefit. Bottom line is just get 'em outta here.
[Iran Press TV] US Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders ...The only openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords... now leads the party's longtime front-runner Hillary Clinton ... sometimes described as America's Blond Eminence and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Tallyrand ... by 14 points in the state of New Hampshire, which holds the nation's first primary elections, according to the latest poll.
Among likely New Hampshire voters, 53 percent choose Sanders, compared to 39 percent who choose Clinton, the Monmouth University Poll found.
The new poll also shows that Clinton has lost her advantage over Sanders among registered Democrats, women and older voters.
Sanders has surpassed Clinton with these voters, while still leading among registered Independents, men and younger voters.
Along with the Iowa caucus, the New Hampshire primary is the first in a series of nationwide party primary elections held in the United State every four years to choose the party nominees for the presidential elections to be held the following November.
The New Hampshire primary has been considered an early measurement of the national attitude toward the candidates for the US presidential nomination.

[Iran Press TV] The majority of the American population believes that the United States is on the "wrong track," a new poll shows.
The CBS News/New York Times ...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... poll revealed on Tuesday that only 27 percent of people think the country is heading in the "right direction," while 65 percent believe it is not.
Released ahead of President Barack Obama Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it. Not smack, though.... 's last State of the Union address, the poll also shows that 47 percent of people disapprove of the way he is "handling his job," while 46 percent approve of it.
Obama does not shine in the rest of the questions in regard to his performance in other issues. Fifty-two percent disapprove of his foreign policy and only 34 percent do.
Another controversial topic, the issue of immigration, shows a significant gap between his supporters, 37 percent, and opponents, 55 percent.
Obama's handling of the economy, healthcare, gun policy, and terrorism all shows a higher rate of disapproval as well.
Terrorism by Daesh [Islamic State] or other Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... s is deemed by 13 percent of people as "the most important problem facing this country" while 12 percent think that is economy and jobs.

That's telling. It seems about 30% of voters will vote for the stupidest thing on the ballot, even if that is having their nuts slowly crushed in a vice.
This, of course, means that the true "100%" is about 70% because those are the ones with enough brains to choose to not have their nuts crushed.
Apparently, we are at the 65% mark, which translates to something more like 93% of people with brains think we are headed the wrong direction.
Did anyone watch it? Was anything interesting said?

Wouldn't it be better, Besoeker, to step out, say something along the lines "Not all white man are racist [true]. I'm behind you Mr President [with a baseball bat] 100%", take the money & buy ammo?
