| President Obama’s spokesman said Wednesday that the White House was not involved in the plan to release hundreds of immigrants from detention centers around the country over the past several days. The decision, he said, was made by "career officials” at Immigration and Customs Enforcement, an arm of the Department of Homeland Security, “without any input from the White House.” Immigration officials have tied the mass releases, which began last week and came to light this week, to the looming budget cuts known as sequestration. The move has been welcomed by immigrants’ advocates

Comments: Yet, another 0bamaNation "non-denial-denial." And, after Rush spent the whole first segment of his show today jumping ugly on this decision, claiming there were major felons being released. This article seems to be "meticulously" written to explain away any 0bama tread-marks. Tell that to the namelessly blamed "career officials” at DHS. I´m certainly not buying an "early" release. This stunt, like 0bama´s bus, backfired on the White House.

This is a clear and direct violation of Obama´s oath obligations. It´s hard for me to accept a bunch of low level career government flacks can just gocoff the reservation without orders from the top dog himself. People keep scratching their heads over the disconnect between Obama´s polices and his failure as president. This is how he does it. He takes radical action to undo the country then shifts the blame to someone who isn´t subject to oversight investigations.
He distanced himself from the Solyndra fiasco,fast and furious and of course he couldn´t be reached when the Benghazi attack was going on.If you can´t reach the president when an embassy is under attack,there´s a serious chain of command problem.Hillary had a debilitating stomach virus and wasn´t available for comment.

@5 I think I read a couple of months ago they are going to totally re-do the present Oval Office and he needs another one for photo ops. In that same article it was said the Oval is only used for photo ops and he mostly works in an adjacent office. This just after another redecorating job in the Oval. Another way to spend some taxpayer $$ so we will hit bottom quicker. And don´t forget about the bomb shelter or maybe underground city that was recently put in under the south lawn of the White House. With all the renovation in and around it, I´m surprised the White House isn´t filled with cracked and crumbling walls.
Re releasing prisoners ~ I saw a Senator on Fox last night who had been a judge and he said basically a judge puts someone behind bars and a judge is the only one who can release them. Oops. I hope this prisoner release comes back to bite the administration big time. DH said he heard the prisoners were wearing ankle bracelets from one newscast. I hadn´t heard that.

Where are the Federal Courts? How can they be released by a bureaucrat? Obama with the help of the msm has neutered the Courts and Congress because if you disagree you must be a racist. I guess he can do whatever he wants since the other two branches of government will do absolutely nothing. I´m sure if any of these detainees released commit murder, rape or any other violent crime the msm will blame the Republicans for not caving on the sequester.

Might have met some of these releasees this week. I was asked directions by a young Middle Eastern guy smoking outside a Rite Aid in a cold rain here in PA. Very thick accent. Finally figured out he was looking for a Dollar store about a half mile down the road. He went into the Rite Aid and gathered about four young ME guys and they headed out, followed closely by a 40ish black man with impressively long dreads. He might have been their driver, but I did not watch what happened when they left the store. I never go to a Dollar store, but might stop in and inquire about this.

Let´s this about this logically for a moment. Sterotypically, the number one priority of "career officials" is "keep your job" and number two, "cover your posterior."
Why would "career officials"jump the gun on this, when there is still a, however remote, possibility that sequestration won´t happen?

This was a decision that put Americans in danger, but that really doesn´t matter to the boy king. Obama will do and say anything this is required to further his agenda. Do you honestly believe he gave a thought to the citizens that would be put in harms way by releasing these detainees? Of course not, Obama is all about his end game. Whatever it takes is whatever he will do. Men like this have perpetrated unspeakable acts on others. Don´t think that he would never do anything to harm an American. He would in a heartbeat and he probably would get away with it, i.e., Benghazi.

North Korea appears to be preparing a fourth underground nuclear weapons test at Punggye-ri, the site of its previous test, a South Korean government source says. Pyongyang appeared to be making preparations for the test, according to a South Korean government source speaking to the country’s Joong Ang Daily newpaper. This comes on the heels of the South’s defence ministry reports that Pyongyang could perform a mid-range missile test-launch by Wednesday – also the deadline it has given to foreign diplomats to evacuate, as their safety would reportedly no longer be guaranteed

Bridgewater, N.J. - Like clockwork, they´re coming back -- after 17 years. "They" would be cicadas, the big, noisy bugs that climb out of the earth about every decade and a half to make everyone´s life more exciting. Experts tell Gannett News Service that the bugs live underground and feed off fluid that gathers near the roots of plants, then emerge from the soil when its temperature reaches 64 degrees. They´re largely harmless, but their sheer numbers can cause headaches. Some areas could see as many as a billion of the cicadas per square mile. That can lead to a lot of dead bugs all over roadways

Caracas - Hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan opposition supporters rallied in a staunchly pro-government part of the capital on Sunday, answering a call by their candidate Henrique Capriles and showing strength a week before the presidential election. "Today the streets of Caracas are full of happiness and hope, confirming what will happen next Sunday," Capriles, the 40-year-old governor of Miranda state, told the crowd. Capriles faces acting President Nicolas Maduro, who has vowed to continue the hard-line socialism of his late boss, Hugo Chavez, if he wins the April 14 election.

Snoop Lion made bold comments about gay marriage and rap music, even addressing singer Frank Ocean´s coming out. Snoop, 41, who has spoken in favor of marriage equality before, was asked by The Guardian if he believed the R&B singer´s declaration of having loved a man meant gay relationships would soon be accepted in the rap community. "Frank Ocean ain´t no rapper," Snoop is quoted as saying. "He´s a singer. It´s acceptable in the singing world, but in the rap world I don´t know if it will ever be acceptable because rap is so masculine."

(Snip) Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he hopes a deal can be reached “in the next couple of weeks.” A GOP Senate aide involved in the negotiations said a deal is unlikely this week because writing the bill, which is expected to be up to 1,500 pages, is going slowly.

Shanghai & Hong Kong - China said it was mobilizing resources nationwide to combat a new strain of bird flu that has killed six people, as Japan and Hong Kong stepped up vigilance and the United States said it was closely monitoring the situation. All of the 14 reported infections from the H7N9 bird flu strain have been in eastern China and at least four of the six dead are in the financial hub of Shanghai, a city of 20 million people. The strain does not appear to be transmitted from human to human but authorities in Hong Kong raised a preliminary alert and said they were taking precautions at the airport.

Michelle Obama has admitted that she is already tired of the bangs she first sported in January. The First Lady said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: ´Bangs are a day-by-day proposition. They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her.

Los Angeles — Some people have had it with TV. They´ve had enough of the 100-plus channel universe. They don´t like timing their lives around network show schedules. They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air. (Snip) Last month, the Nielsen Co. started labeling people in this group "Zero TV" households, because they fall outside the traditional definition of a TV home. There are 5 million of these residences in the U.S., up from

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth.

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

Susan Patton, the Princeton alumna who became famous for her letter urging Ivy League women to use their college years to find a mate, has been denounced as a traitor to feminism, to coeducation, to the university ideal. But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —
