Immigration is supposed to be a big topic at tonight’s Republican debate. I wonder how they will address this? U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director John Morton says his agency deported nearly 400,000 individuals during the fiscal year 2011 that just ended in September. Morton announced in Washington on Tuesday the number was the largest […]
Everyday we see America move closer to becoming a third world nation: Cash-strapped Topeka, Kansas, has decided to stop prosecuting domestic violence casses in order to save money. The City Council announced the proposal Oct. 4, after the Shawnee County District Attorney’s office announced it could no longer prosecute misdemeanors, including domestic violence cases. The […]
At the end of March an atrocity happened in the Supreme Court, one that can redefine our system of justice and put us more on track to become a third world nation governed by dictators. John Thompson was convicted of murder and robbery in the 1980’s in New Orleans. He was then sentenced to death. […]
Following up on my last post about the debate we need when talking about yesterday’s incident, this statement from Senator John Kyl, when talking about last night’s remarks from Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik, are not helpful: First, I didn’t really think that that had any part in a law enforcement briefing last night.

That is an interesting word. So who decides if it should be reported […]
This guy is a total disgust to humanity. Roberts: Bill is good but you cannot link homosexuality to a pedophilia crisis in the Catholic Church. Bill Donohue: It’s not a pedophilia… most of the victims were post pubescent… Roberts: You know… Donohue: You’ve got to get your facts straight. I’m sorry. If I’m the only […]
There we have Drudge pushing a story about nine murders/suicides in Chicago over the holiday weekend. This has been an obsession of Drudge since Obama became our President. Somehow Drudge thinks that it all reflects upon our President. Interesting considering we never pinned crimes in Texas on Bush.
Finally justice is served on another person whose power in Congress became a catalyst for greed: Former Rep. William Jefferson was sentenced Friday to serve 13 years in prison for what the lead prosecutor described as “the most extensive and pervasive pattern of corruption in the history of Congress.” While the sentence by federal Judge […]
What does this say? House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) and House GOP Conference Chairman Mike Pence (R-Ind.) are voting against the House/Senate fiscal year 2010 defense authorization bill — because it contains hate crimes provisions designed to protect gays and lesbians. Boehner and Pence are putting their own bigotry against the needs of our […]
