McDaniel alleges 8,300 questionable ballots
[DJOURNAL] State Sen. Chris McDaniel, still refusing to give up his challenge to incumbent U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran
...establishment Republican senator-for-life from Mississippi, sometimes referred to as a 'low-life scoundrel.' He has been in the Senate since 1978. In 2014 the state's Democratic Party helped him cheat a Tea Party challenger out of a primary victory...
, said Friday via e-mail his campaign had found 8,300 questionable ballots across the state from the June 24 Republican primary runoff.

He said many of those "were unquestionably cast by voters ineligible to participate in the June 24th runoff election" that McDaniel lost to Cochran

#1  The 8,300 disqualified votes would make the election very close. Probably wouldn't matter because the fix is in.

#2  This is a prime example of the party leadership screwing the party members. Every one of the bastards need to be run out of office, tarred and feathered. Or hung by their ankles and beaten like a piñata.

Nebraska gov, Illinois senator say White House sending illegal immigrant children to their states without notice
[FOXNEWS] Elected officials in two states far from the U.S.-Mexico border have claimed that the B.O. regime has resettled hundreds of unaccompanied undocumented Democrat children without adequate notice and has refused to detail the exact locations where the children are being kept.

Fox News has learned that 748 unaccompanied minors have been transferred from areas near the border to the reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
... home of Al Capone, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel,...
area. Of the original group of 748 kids, 319 have been placed with family members or sponsors while they await an immigration hearing. The other 429 have been placed in facilities run by the Heartland Alliance, a nonprofit organization that receives grants from the Department of Health and Human Services.

Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., told Fox News Friday that he did not know the exact locations of the facilities where the children were being kept, and stated his belief that the White House did not want the children's living conditions to be made public.

"My worry is the administration doesn't want people to know what the condition of these place are or how these kids are being treated in detention," Kirk said. "Kids can sometimes to be pretty cruel to each other, they don't want those stories to get out and they don't want us to know what is going on in these detention facilities. These detention facilities should be completely open to the press and to the American people so that we know how what conditions are, we should be able to talk to the kids who are there.

#2  I'm sure that Obama has provided each of the kiddies with Obamaphones so they can call Mamacita to let them know where they are and that they are alright.

#3  Charge everyone involved with human trafficking and arrest them. Put them in jail. I'd say people would start refusing real quick. And since the people involved are illegal, just slap them on a flight home.

#4  Still in the news in Dallas, where a judge decided to temporarily relocate 2,000 illegal kids to three facilities here. But not to worry, the Feds will pay. If the school boards approve of the use of the empty schools, that is.

Makes me wonder how they could move 'em out, under the radar, so to speak? Maybe Champ wants to avoid the public pushback, like in CA and TX.

Sandra Fluke: Can she win a California Senate seat?
[CSMONITOR] Sandra Fluke is a candidate for a seat in California's state Senate. Sandra Fluke has been endorsed by EMILY's List, Planned Parenthood and California NOW.
Probably.

#7  When Sandra caught sight of Nantucket,
She thought she would swim out and Fluke it.
To the townspeople's shock
She set up on the dock
And sold rides for five dollars a ducat.

#9  I think the question is not "Can she win" a seat but "Will she be given" one. If the party bosses want her have a senate seat, she'll get one.

Obama 'absolutely' the most transparent president
[THEHILL] President Obama is "absolutely" the most transparent president in history, White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Sunday after the White House received a letter from signed by a dozen top journalists' groups complaining about the administration's policies toward the media.
He is. I can see right through him.

Holder sees 'racial animus' in disagreement
[THEHILL] Attorney General Eric Inaction Jackson Holder
... aka Mister Fast and Furious...
said Sunday he and President B.O. have been targets of "a racial animus" by some of the administration's political opponents.

"There's a certain level of vehemence, it seems to me, that's directed at me [and] directed at the president," Holder told ABC. "You know, people talking about taking their country back. There's a certain racial component to this for some people. I don't think this is the thing that is a main driver, but for some there's a racial animus."
Holder said the nation is in "a fundamentally better place than we were 50 years ago."

"We've made lots of progress," he said. "I sit here as the first African-American attorney general, serving the first African-American president of the United States. And that has to show that we have made a great deal of progress.

"But there's still more we have to travel along this road so we get to the place that is consistent with our founding ideals," he said.

He also stood by his controversial comments made during Obama's first year in office, in which he said the U.S. was a "nation of cowards" when it comes to race.

"I wouldn't walk away from that speech," Holder said. "I think we are still a nation that is too afraid to confront racial issues," rarely engaging "one another across the color line [to] talk about racial issues."

The attorney general also pointed to Republican efforts to enact stricter voter ID laws in southern States as evidence that more needed to be done to protect minority rights. Republicans have maintained the efforts are designed to prevent voter fraud, while Democrats say instances of fraud are exceedingly rare, and far outpaced by the minority population that does not have identification that would be unable to vote.

#2  Yes, making the Champ and Holder look bad has certainly become an effortless, national obsession. Why can't it just STOP !!!!!

#3  Yea well, without "racial animus" how could people like Holder justify averything they do (to themselves first & foremost).

#4  To People of Color all over the world,

Continuing to blame the White Man for all of your problems is not going to help. I understand that we are convenient scapegoats and whipping boys. But if you ever expect anything to get any better you must face the fact that you are not perfect either.

Yours Truly,

The Man

#6  via The Daily Caller

The U.S. Department of Justice is investigating a float that appeared at the annual Fourth of July parade in the small town of Norfolk, Neb. because the float featured a blue flatbed truck carrying a zombie-looking mannequin in overalls on the door of an outhouse labeled “OBAMA PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY.”

The Justice Department sent a member of its Community Relations Service team to Norfolk (pronounced “Norfork” by many locals), reports the Omaha World-Herald.

#7  A racist sees racism everywhere he looks.
Posted by: JohnQC || 07/14/2014 16:04 Comments || Top||

#8  Then again, it's not racist to stab 'My People'(c,Eric Holder) by allowing in tens, nay, hundreds of thousands of low skilled hispanics to compete in the limited job market all the while putting even more mouths on the welfare rolls that take from that very same community. The Dead Party should be demagoguing that point with the same intensity as the socialist usually do.

#10  I see Holder trying to use the charge of 'racial animus' as a shield for his illegal actions.

Good luck with that.
