[American Thinker] The IG report is really Comey 2.0. Comey spent a long time describing how Hillary had broken the law but then concluded that it was okay. Similarly, the IG report lists example after example of political bias but declares that it had no impact on the Hillary email whitewash.
The IG report on the Clinton email investigation is proof positive that the entire DC justice establishment is corrupt; that they view themselves as rulers not public servants.
First we were told that Comey was a straight shooter whom we could trust. Then we were told the same about Mueller, Rosenstein, and now the IG. Yet in every case we’ve discovered that they are biased political actors who put the interests of the Deep State and the Democratic Party ahead of their sworn duty to uphold the law. It’s time for all conservatives to acknowledge that there are few if any honest people at the top levels of the FBI or the DoJ.

[Townhall] "The whole reason that this push to come to the United States is becoming so violent is because we are turning into a lawless society," Taylor explained. "There is no downside to violating the law. You can come here illegally, you can act like you’ve been here for 10 years. You can say you’re a DACA person and that’s all you got to do and you get signed up."
He offered a detailed solution - one he said would strike fear in anyone thinking of entering our country illegally. Let the agents conduct a biography interview of any undocumented person at the border, see if they qualify, and take them directly to an immigration judge, he proposed. Taylor predicted that 80 percent or more would not make the cut. At that point, we should fly them back to home country on military aircraft. That way, their comrades "can see 300 people getting off an aircraft that says, 'U.S. Air Force.'" My emphasis added.

Fingerprints, DNA Sample, and RFID chip if they are deported... think of it as the cost of their air fare. If caught again ... get Sheriff Arpaio to design a series of concentration camps model prisons?

Perhaps we need to declare the countries they come from as failed states and send in the Marines to establish law & order. Might convince Mexico's oligarchs to do something other than lining their pockets and blaming the Gringos for their problems.

Enough is enough. They are foreign invaders. Treat them as such. The wall or the organ banks. Tell countries for each one we catch, we will annex 1 square mile of their country, complete with ALL mineral and oil rights. Make it clear that this is totally unacceptable.

I'm sure the African American community is watching, they are hurt the worst by illegals. The Republicans can easily use this to strip up a a lot of African-American votes.

Donald Trump can, but the GOPe haven't and won't. It's not gentlemanly to treat your opponent as a enemy combatant even though they threat you that way.

According to Rooters, "Violent crime rose by about 10 percent in 2015 and 2016 [in Germany], a study showed. It attributed more than 90 percent of that to young male refugees [illegals]."
We don't want to repeat the Angela Merkel's and Soros' mistakes.

The Gateway Pundit reports that 10,000-12,000 kids are being held in DHS custody that were sent here unaccompanied by their parents. If true, the parents were separated from the kids on the other side of our border.

Everyone is twisting themselves out of shape - no, only those who want to destroy the sovereignty of the USA and make other fundamental changes of that ilk.

Not just no, hell no. It'd cost too much blood and treasure and it's not worth it. Better to seal the border, cut off all foreign aid and all trade. Let them simmer in their own juices. Let them figure it out for themselves.

Let them figure it out for themselves.
They can't, as we have seen for generations in other 'shithole' communities. Poor pre/neonatal nutrition, insufficient synaptic stimulus, sociocultural barriers to personal enrichment and poor lifestyle choices when there are any.
[The Hill] FBI Director Christopher Wray’s press conference Thursday, in response to the Department of Justice (DOJ) inspector general’s report on the FBI’s mishandling of the Clinton email server investigation, was nauseating and chilling. After listening to it, one could be forgiven for thinking that all that had really happened was some FBI employees had been caught taking red staplers or performing office hijinks.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Wray toed the same line as the Office of Inspector General (OIG) report, claiming that there was no political bias on display.
Yet, anyone with more than a few brain cells can skim a dozen of the 568 pages in that document and see it is replete with case after case of bias. Perhaps worst of all of those was FBI official Peter Strzok’s text message to fellow

I don't trust Wray. He's a little too slick in his canned answers. He hides behind the phrases: "I can't discuss that as its part of an ongoing investigation, it's classified, or some other pat and dodging answer." I don't sense openess and honesty. He seems to cover for criminality in the FBI rather than have a concern for the two-tier justice system that has evolved. He seems to care little for the complete disdain expressed by some at the top levels of the DOJ and the FBI for Trump or Trump voters. A deep rot was allowed to develop in the DOJ and FBI. These agencies were weaponized against the American people. What is seen out here are feeble efforts to address very serious problems. What is needed are indictments and prosecutions as the result of serious investgations.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Yemeni army forces and resistance factions, aided by the coalition’s ground, aerial and naval forces, are advancing toward the city of Hodeidah as fierce battles continue.
I do not have any military experience but ever since the Houthis were driven out of South Yemen, it has been clear that containing the Houthi ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews ... coup requires three military goals: expelling the Houthis away from the Saudi borders, getting them out of the central governorates and getting them out of ports, specifically the Hodeidah Port.

[WRAL.COM] The number of Americans seeking Social Security disability benefits is plunging, a startling reversal of a decades-old trend that threatened the program’s solvency. It is the latest evidence of a stronger economy pulling people back into the job market or preventing workers from being sidelined in the first place.
The drop is so significant that the agency has revised its estimates of how long the program will continue to be financially secure. This month, the government announced that the program would not run out of money until 2032, four years later than its previous estimate last year. Two years ago, the government had warned that the funds might be depleted by 2023.
In addition to stronger economic growth, the drop reflects newly tightened standards for eligibility and the increasing number of baby boomers who are leaving the program because they have become eligible for Social Security retirement benefits and Medicare.
Fewer than 1.5 million Americans applied to the Social Security Administration for disability coverage last year, the lowest since 2002. Applications are running at an even lower rate this year, government officials say.
All told, 8.63 million workers received disability benefits in May, down from a peak of 8.96 million in September 2014. A drop of several hundred thousand may not sound like much. But it is a sharp turnaround from what seemed to be an inexorable rise, in which the disability rolls more than doubled over the past 25 years. That increase led some conservative lawmakers to criticize the program as wasteful and riddled with fraud.
The Social Security Administration expected the number of applicants to decline after the recession when the total number of beneficiaries topped out, but even government number crunchers were caught off guard by the steepness and duration of the fall.
[FOX] While the focus in Washington, D.C. remains centered on the Mueller Russia probe, we cannot lose sight of another ongoing investigation on Capitol Hill. At the center of this developing scandal are the nefarious actions of a former Democratic congressional IT aide indicted last year on bank fraud charges, who at the time was being paid by a high-profile member of Congress although he was barred from the House computer systems.
While the case has not received a lot of mainstream media attention, the details are sordid. Not only does the case raise serious national security and obstruction of justice concerns, it also suggests a blatant cover-up on the part of the lawmakers involved.
Our story begins in the early 2000s when an IT contractor named Imran Awan began doing work for a number of House Members. He was later joined in this work by seven other family members who had almost little or no computer technology expertise, including his wife and two brothers. One of Awan’s brothers at 20 years old was earning the same amount as a member of Congress. After being fired from one office for “incompetence” the other congressional offices continued to pay him.

This story never was going anywhere. The MSM "has their.... orders." Yes, same orders for American born citizen Anwar al-Awlaki and his email pal Nidal Hasan, events at Benghazi, Platte River Networks, wife of Tamerlan Tsarnaev, etc.

It's a given there is a whole raft of "stupid constituent" jokes floating around Wash DC, well known to journalist insiders who would never expose any of it. This case falls under the rubric of "Never burn a useful operative while there are bourgeoise rubes to ass-rape."

[Daily Caller] "I don’t believe it when I heard it," Tuck said when he heard Blumenthal’s statement, "They know nothing of the Holocaust."
"They are politicians, looking to get paid," he said, repeating that those who make the comparison "know nothing." When asked to compare the American border detainment facilities to actual concentration camps, Tuck said, "This is a country club."
"I was given a piece of bread in the morning. A piece of bread in the evening," Tuck said, "I had to survive with my life. I have a number on my arm to prove it ‐ from Auschwitz."
[PJ] Exactly how beneficial to a society is multiculturalism, this word that is so celebrated in the West?
First one must first define the word: It is "the view that cultures, races, and ethnicities, particularly those of minority groups, deserve special acknowledgement of their differences within a dominant political culture." Give me 'Strange Tongues and Tribal Dispersal' for $600. Alex.
Note the immediate inaccuracies within this standard definition. "Races," which indicate a people’s innate physical makeup, are conflated with "cultures" -- which are neither innate nor physical, but learned and metaphysical.
This mix-up explains why for many in the West, the word "culture" often conjures at most physical, surface differences -- "exotic" food or dress. In reality, cultures are nothing less than entire and distinct worldviews with their own unique sets of right and wrongs, often rooted in a religion or philosophy. Cultures bring much more than, say, the convenience of having Indian cuisine down the street.
As Anglo-French historian Hilaire Belloc once explained it:
Cultures spring from religions; ultimately the vital force which maintains any culture is its philosophy, its attitude toward the universe; the decay of a religion involves the decay of the culture corresponding to it -- we see that most clearly in the breakdown of Christendom today.
Put differently, all values prized by the modern West -- religious freedom, tolerance, humanism, gender equality, monogamy -- did not develop in a vacuum but rather are inextricably rooted to Judeo-Christian principles which, over the course of some 2,000 years, have had a profound influence on Western epistemology, society and, of course, culture.
While they are now taken for granted and seen as "universal" virtues, it’s not for nothing that these values were born and nourished in Western -- not Islamic, Buddhist, Hindu, Confucian, or pagan -- nations.
All this is missed by those ignorant of the spiritual and intellectual roots of Western civilization. This is, incidentally, why growing numbers of Western people arrogantly see themselves as the culmination of all human history and culture -- "enlightened" thinkers who have left all cultural and religious baggage behind -- and are thus convinced that cultures offer only minor, or superficial differences (always to be "celebrated"). They embrace notions of relativism and multiculturalism, the idea that all religions and cultures are at most "skin deep," or more subtly, that they are destined to develop like the West, which is no longer seen as a distinct culture but rather the end point of all cultures.
[American Thinker] Some black people were forced to move out of Portland, Oregon because of the construction of a highway, which razed homes, and gentrification, which raised housing prices beyond their means. Only 6% of Portland is black, a statistic that the city finds unacceptable. (What is the right percentage? The masterminds haven't told us.)
So Portland created a $20-million program to pay for "down payment assistance" for black people who wanted to move back to Oregon. The criterion for applying was that you had to have resided in Portland's historically black neighborhoods, so, effectively, this program is available only to black people.
Can you imagine the uproar if Oregon offered to pay white people to move to Oregon? That would be racism. But $20 million targeted at black people ‐ that's okay. That's redistribution of income. More importantly, that's racial justice.
The program has some problems. For one thing, some residents don't want to move back.
Take Germaine Flentroy. Germaine's family was forced out of Portland due to higher housing prices, but for Germaine, Portland is no longer germane.
He says he no longer recognizes his former home because it has been invaded by white people.
