Left Tries To Divide Conservatives
To Secure Immigration Amnesty

PJ Media, by Matthew Vadum Original Article

Posted By: KarenJ1- 3/2/2013 11:52:14 AM Post Reply

In the soul-searching saga that has followed Mitt Romney’s defeat in November, some leading Republicans claim that to stave off political oblivion the GOP must wholeheartedly embrace comprehensive immigration reform including amnesty for those illegal aliens already in the country. This is wishful thinking, of course. According to various studies including a Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) report, pandering to Latino voters will not gain the Republican Party Hispanic-American votes. Latinos are particularly hard to win over to the Republican side because they tend to be

In a late Friday afternoon email, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano notified staff that her chief of staff was leaving. "I extend my deepest appreciation to DHS Chief of Staff Noah Kroloff for his over four years of service to the Department of Homeland Security and his eight years of service to me while I served in Arizona as Governor and Attorney General.

Lobbying giant Patton Boggs has laid off 65 lawyers and staff, including 23 from its Washington, D.C. practice, according to multiple reports. The firm´s revenue and net profits had fallen between 2011 and 2012. Lobbying revenue declined five percent from $48.4 to $46 million, according to calculations by The Hill. The layoffs are an attempt to "align head count with revenue," managing partner Edward Newberry told the Wall Street Journal. "We´re trying to be very disciplined in managing expense and operations," Newberry said. The move responds to increasing market pressure and is expected

Rory McIlroy’s already bad ear just got worse Much worse. Golf’s boy wonder did the inexcusable on Friday, borrowing from the worst of John Daly’s sorry repertoire and quitting mid-round at the Honda Classic. After walking off PGA National, where he was defending champion, the world No. 1 gave reporters a less-than-satisfactory explanation for his early departure. “I can´t really say much, guys. I´m just in a bad place mentally,” he said. Of course, not many professional golfers would be in a good place, mentally or otherwise, after playing eight holes in seven strokes over par.

Key Romney aides back gay marriage;
social conservatives not surprised

Gay marriage advocates are touting the number of Republicans — more than 130 at the moment — who have signed an amicus brief urging the Supreme Court to overturn California’s popularly-approved ban on same-sex marriage. With a few exceptions, the list is made up of former office holders, many appointed rather than elected, plus various strategists and donors. One notable thing about the brief is that the list of signers includes several top officials from the Romney presidential campaign. Mitt Romney strongly opposed gay marriage during the 2012 race. Signing the brief now

For Obama, politics

Do we have a president or a perpetual candidate? It´s not an entirely unfair question. Even as Barack Obama was warning of the dreadful consequences of the budget sequester looming on March 1, he spent days away from Washington, apparently out of touch with Democratic as well as Republican congressional leaders. In the meantime, Obama fans were lobbing verbal grenades at none other than the Washington Post´s Bob Woodward. His offense: He´s continuing to make it clear, as he did in his book "The Price of Politics," that it was Obama´s then-chief of staff and now Treasury Secretary

Is Barack Obama the Vladimir Lenin of American Presidents? No, Lenin was competent in an evil sort of way. Obama is more like Leonid Brezhnev: an ultra left-wing, belligerent doofus who isn´t laughed at by the general population primarily because the mainstream media liberals say nice things about him out of fear that they´ll end up in a gulag if they´re too harsh. Of course, we don´t have gulags, but reporters who criticize Obama would be snubbed by their peers at cocktail parties in Manhattan and Old Town, which seems almost as bad to liberals.

Mayor Bloomberg says to lose

Meet Mayor Bloomberg, diet guru. Only you´re probably not going to like his advice for losing weight -- just eat less. "If you eat less than 2,000 calories you´ll lose weight," the mayor said on his weekly WOR radio show today. "If you eat more than 2,000 calories, you´ll gain weight. Now some things metabolize more quickly than others. And everyone says I should go on this kind of diet or that kind of diet. Don´t eat and you´ll lose weight." Exercise, by Bloomberg´s reckoning, is not a substitute for reducing intake.

controversial Bureau of Labor Statistics program that tracks U.S. green jobs will get the axe, according to Bloomberg News, because of the automatic budget cuts, called the sequester, which are set to take effect today if lawmakers can’t reach an alternative agreement. Bloomberg reports that a Feb. 26 email sent to Labor Department employees said a clean-energy survey would be one of three data reports cut due to sequestration, according to Bloomberg’s anonymous source. “It’s a huge loss,” said Center for American Progress senior fellow Bracken Hendricks. “This means the U.S. will be

On CNBC’s “The Kudlow Report,” host Larry Kudlow criticized Harvard Crimson president Bobby Samuels for an editorial the paper published urging some conservatives not to apply to the university, but Samuels stuck to his guns. “You know, I think the main point of the editorial was not that we’re trying to limit free speech at all,” Samuels said. “In fact, I think one of the tenets of any journalist organization — and certainly of the Crimson — is to foster free speech and foster debate. The main point we were making though is that

Although Congressional hearings regarding the deadly attack on the U.S. Mission in Benghazi brought both Hillary Clinton to Capitol Hill as well as CIA Director Leon Panetta to answer questions, Republicans still want more questions answered about the assault that took the lives of four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens. Congressman Frank Wolf (R - VA), Chairman of the Appropriations Committee, and Congressman Jim Gerlach (R - PA), a House Ways and Means Committee member, sent a letter to Secretary of State John Kerry on Friday and indicated that he was contacted by a "reliable source who

Thirteen years ago, researchers at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum began the grim task of documenting all the ghettos, slave labor sites, concentration camps and killing factories that the Nazis set up throughout Europe. What they have found so far has shocked even scholars steeped in the history of the Holocaust. The researchers have cataloged some 42,500 Nazi ghettos and camps throughout Europe, spanning German-controlled areas from France to Russia and Germany itself, during Hitler’s reign of brutality from 1933 to 1945. The figure is so staggering that even fellow Holocaust

President Obama's weekly remarks: Hi, everybody. On Friday, I met with leaders of both parties in Congress to try and find a way forward in light of the severe budget cuts — known in Washington as “the sequester” — that have already started to inflict pain on communities across the country. These cuts are not smart. They will hurt our economy and cost us jobs. And Congress can turn them off at any time — as soon as both sides are willing to compromise. As a nation, we’ve already fought back from the worst economic crisis of our lifetimes, and we’ll get through this, too.

President Obama’s Legacy:
Government Greed

It seems as if President Obama sends out another cabinet secretary every hour to tell the public about the dire consequences we will face if the sequestration cuts are not averted. You’ve heard them — no vaccinations for children, teachers losing their jobs, less security from terrorist attacks, longer wait times at airports, and fewer food inspections. Now there are even reports that government officials are releasing hundreds of immigrants from deportation centers. What’s next? Is the president going to threaten to open the doors of federal prisons? This is silly.

In the early 19th century, the initials "GTT" sometimes were found carved in haste on the doors of homes abandoned by folks fleeing unpaid debts and other life problems. The three letters were shorthand for "Gone to Texas," the frontier sanctuary of choice for folks in these kinds of unfixable fixes. The three letters have found a place in our state´s lore and legend. With an estimated 1,500 new Texans arriving here each day, "GTT" isn´t merely an interesting anecdote born of our pioneering past. The daily influx of newcomers in 2013 also reminds us that Texas

Over the past two weeks, conservative talk-show host Rush Limbaugh has been advancing a theory about why President Obama’s approval ratings remain above average, despite the fact that most Americans say they are dissatisfied with the direction the country is taking. Limbaugh has hypothesized that many Americans, perhaps the “low-information voters,” are not connecting Obama’s policies to what is actually happening in the country, because the president never actually governs. Obama’s is a non-governing presidency, one that is built on an eternal campaign, a never-ending community organization effort.

“Federal prosecutors will have to close cases and let criminals go,” President Obama said last week, flanked by uniformed firefighters and law-enforcement officers. “Tens of thousands of parents will have to scramble to find child care for their kids.” He went on: “Border Patrol agents will see their hours reduced. FBI agents will be furloughed.” Scared yet? In his Saturday radio address, the president made clear who was at fault for this impending Armageddon: “Are Republicans in Congress really willing to let these cuts fall on our kids’ schools and mental health care just to protect
