The Establishment’s Conspiracy to Silence Conservatives Could Destroy Our Country

/3 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit: APThe establishment – defined less by party than by power – is using every weapon it has to shut you up, to marginalize you, and to beat you into submission. In the short term it may work. In the long term it promises disaster.

The key to any democratic republic is legitimacy. If the system allows a full and fair airing of different views before a decision is made, groups that lose the debate will accept the decision. You are disappointed if the other side won fair and square. But you are furious if the other side cheated.

And all the other side does today is cheat. Worse, it does so with a mindless cynicism, having discovered that if other elements of the establishment play along – like a mainstream media that refuses to perform its accountability function – then there are no immediate consequences. Over time, this risks of alienating nearly half of our citizens.

Sometimes the establishment cheats subtly. It can take the form of mockery, like when the President tried to belittle into silence the millions of Americans who doubt the climate change scam for believing that if the globe was really warming then the globe would actually be getting warmer.

Remember The Student Who Wanted To Wear His Uniform To Graduation?

/3 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit: Opposing Views A Marine who made headlines last year when he was not allowed to wear his uniform for his high school graduation has been killed by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan.

Lance Corporal Brandon Garabrant, 19, graduated from Marine Corps bootcamp the same day as his high school graduation in June 2013. It was his desire to wear his uniform in lieu of a graduation gown.

ConVal High School rejected his request, and Garabrant had to wear his uniform under his graduation cap and gown.

Principal Brian Pickering said the policy was in place so Garabrant would not be singled-out from his classmates at an event meant to celebrate the accomplishments of the entire class.

Upon hearing of Garabrant’s death, principal Pickering told WMUR9, “We are all shocked and deeply saddened by his passing and we are incredibly grateful for his service to our country.”

Justice Department Reportedly Nears Settlement with BNP Paribas Over Sanctions Violations

/0 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit: REUTERS / CHARLES PLATIAUU.S. prosecutors and BNP Paribas have reached an agreement on the general outline of a deal that would require France’s largest lender to pay between $8 billion and $9 billion in fines for allegedly covering up $30 billion in transactions that violate U.S. sanctions, according to a published report.

The Wall Street Journal reports that the deal would also require BNP plead guilty to a criminal charge of conspiring to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and a temporary ban on making transactions in U.S. dollars.

Prosecutors claim that BNP used regional overseas banks between 2002 and 2007 to route funds linked to companies and government agencies based in Sudan. The Journal reports that most of the transactions were related to oil deals. In 2007, the bank announced that it would no longer do business in Sudan, which was being accused by the U.S. and its allies of committing genocide in that country’s Darfur region.

Lawmakers Visit Marine Held in Mexico, Say Sergeant ‘Needs to Come’

/2 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit: Fox News Two Republican lawmakers visited a Marine sergeant held in a Mexican jail Saturday, with one of them saying that the serviceman “needs to come home.”

Rep. Ed Royce, R-Calif., and Rep. Matt Salmon, R-Ariz., visited Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi at the El Hongo II prison in Tecate, Mexico. Tahmooressi has been held there since March on gun charges after he accidentally crossed over the Mexican border with three legally purchased guns in his pickup truck. Tahmooressi, who suffers from PTSD, served two tours in Afghanistan.

“I found him to be in good spirits, but this visit confirmed my belief that Sgt. Tahmooressi … needs to come home,” Royce, the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said in a statement. “While I remain respectful of Mexico’s laws, today after I thanked him for his dedicated service, I assured Sgt. Tahmooressi that I will continue working to secure his release so that he can begin needed treatment for his PTSD.”

Based in part upon “Politician, Heal Thyself” by Jon Gabriel and illustrated by our summer intern@BiffSpackle.

You can help right now by gifting Chris McDaniel in Mississippi. He’s locked in a neck-and-neck race with a 42-year politician by the name of Thad Cochran, the favorite of Mitch McConnell and the Amnesty crowd at the Chamber of Crony Capitalism.

The race is deadlocked. You can help right now.

You and I have a lot of work to do. But we’re up to it. We’re Americans.

Child Immigrants Can Legally Stay in the US for Years

/1 Comment/in , /by

Photo Credit: AP / Ross D. Franklin, PoolThousands of immigrant children fleeing poverty and violence in Central America to cross alone into the United States can live in American cities, attend public schools and possibly work here for years without consequences.

The chief reasons are an overburdened, deeply flawed system of immigration courts and a 2002 law intended to protect children’s welfare, an Associated Press investigation finds.

Driving the dramatic increases in these immigrants is the recognition throughout Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador that children who make the dangerous trip can effectively remain in the U.S. for years before facing even a moderate risk of deportation.

A quick look at the company’s website reveals its clever tagline: “Email Archiving Done Right.”

How “right”? That’s not so clear, as we now know…
