REPORT: Millions enter US without passports, secure IDs...
More than 18 months after U.S. Customs and Border Protection inspectors were supposed to start enforcing stringent ID requirements at the nation's land borders, millions of travelers are still being admitted without passports or other secure IDs, a new government audit shows. An Office of Inspector General report released Monday found that CBP remains unprepared to fully implement the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative, which officially took effect in June 2009 and requires all travelers, incl...
The Brave Soldiers of Allah Target Shoppers for Slaughter
Christmas is rapidly approaching, as is the threats of death against those who fail to hit the rug five times a day and bow towards Mecca. Case in point: The British press is reporting that the recent arrest of a dozen British subjects, all of Bangladeshi origin (read: moslems) were arrested Monday in connection with a plot to carry out bombings in various British cities, specifically to kill and maim as many people as possible on crowded shopping streets in the days before Christmas. ...
Report: Lenient passport enforcement heightens border risk
The Border Patrol's lenient enforcement of a law requiring U.S. citizens to have passports when re-entering the country at land crossings has heightened the risk that an imposter might get in, according to a government report released Monday. Under the law, which took effect in June 2009, U.S. citizens must show passports or some other authorized travel documents like a Military ID when returning to the United States. Those who don't are supposed to undergo further screening to confirm...
Integrity or Agreement?
In some respects this post is 'johnny come lately' to Matt's post below. That's what I get for having to work this weekend. But a peculiar question has been nagging at me since the Great Orange Satan had his meltdown concerning Jon Tester's vote on the DREAM Act. In most low-brow form, the question can best be posed as "What the hell did you expect?"
Back in 2006, I attended 3 functions in which I got to meet and talk with Jon Tester or hear him debate. One was the Democrat...
"Just Keeping You Safe": The Cheka Checks In
"What are you doing here?" Paul asked the armed stranger who had materialized outside his workplace. "Just keeping you safe," replied the interloper, who had invaded the property without invitation or explanation. The visitor was clad in what Paul described as a SWAT-style dark blue jumpsuit, mirrored sunglasses, and a Baseball cap. He had arrived in a white SUV equipped with running lights and displaying police markings advertising that it belonged to the Department of Homeland Security. Pau...
DHS Uncovers Islamic Plot to Poison Food in U.S. Hotels and Restaurants
Daily Jihad and the political and media elites can't stop apologizing to these savages. They had to see this coming. This time last year, five Muslim Soldiers at Fort Jackson in South Carolina were arrested just before Christmas suspected of trying to poison the food supply at Fort Jackson.
Food Jihad is prescribed in the al qaeda handbook.

Eric Holder is worried about Americans becoming a terrorist threat
Attorney General Eric Holder once called America a nation of cowards, but there is something that Eric Holder fears so much that he loses sleep over it-the American People and the possibility that they will become radicalized and begin Terrorist activity against the government. It is one of the things that keeps me up at night,” Holder said. “You didn’t worry about this even two years ago — about individuals, about Americans, to the extent that we now do...
Attorney General Eric Holder: Threat of Homegrown Terrorism "Keeps Me Up At Night"
In an interview with ABC's "Good Morning America," U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder spoke of the ongoing fight to protect American National Security and expressed his growing concern with the threat of homegrown terror - a danger which he said "keeps me up at night."

Brown to abolish state inspector general's office
Gov.-elect Jerry Brown has made much since his election of the inevitable cost-cutting he will do to help get the state's Budget in line. One of the first casualties: the stimulus Watchdog office of Inspector General Laura Chick. Chick sent an Open Letter this afternoon explaining that she had heard from Brown's transition team that the position will be eliminated Jan. 1. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger created the office and appointed Chick as its leader in April 2009. Schwarzenegger had pr...
NASA research program fraudulent, wasteful: Inspector general
By Mark Lisheron
NASA’s $133 million Small Business Innovation Research Program has been fraudulent and wasteful, repeatedly giving contracts to companies doing identical research and to companies whose research is of little or questionable value.
A report by NASA’s Inspector General outlined Sunday by the Florida Center for Investigative Reporting, says problems with the program persist in spite of 46 investigations over the past 10 years that have led in eight of the cases to cr...

Brown to eliminate state Office of Inspector General
One of Gov.-elect Jerry Brown's first official acts will be eliminating the state Office of Inspector General, a position held by former L.A. City Controller Laura Chick, who has been responsible for overseeing more than $50 billion in federal stimulus money.
Brown's office said in a statement Monday that he is closing the operation, whose function mimics those of other state agencies, to save money.
"Ending this redundancy will save the state's General Fund over $700,000 in Fiscal Year 2010-1...

A chilling admission
If this doesn't scare Americans it should. Attorney General Eric Holder has an urgent message for Americans: While he is confident that the United States will continue to thwart attacks, "the Terrorists only have to be successful once." And while it is not certain we will be hit, the American People, he told ABC News, "have to be prepared for potentially bad news." "What I am trying to do in this interview is to make people aware of the fact that the threat is real, ...
Agent's death a reminder of U.S.-Mexican border violence
A U.S. Border Patrol agent was shot and killed along the Southwestern border last week, marking the second time in as many years that an agent was gunned down along the border with Mexico.
The shooting prompted politicians from both parties, including Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, to emphasize the dangers faced by the 20,000 Border Patrol agents and thousands of other Law Enforcement officers who patrol the border.
Records from a police m...

The American Dream
The Senate rightly rejected the NIGHTMARE Act. Maybe the Midterm Elections have teeth.
Known as the DREAM Act, this nightmare Legislation was yet another dishonest left-wing anti-American Immigration Bill that would have provided a roadmap for Citizenship for Children of Illegal Immigrants, and then some.
The reality of the NIGHTMARE Act is that had it passed it would have opened the flood gates for even more unidentified Mexican and OTM invaders to illegally cross our border.
There are two fun...

Times Laments 'Painful Setback' to 'Dream Act' Amnesty for Illegals
Reporter Julia Preston’s “news analysis” on Sunday on the Senate the defeat of Legislation granting Amnesty to hundreds of thousands of Illegal Immigrants, known as the DREAM Act by supporters (“Immigration Vote Leaves Obama’s Policy in Disarray”) is a reversal of the emotion displayed in her previous celebratory coverage of even the puniest symbolic gatherings of pro-“Dream Act” Protesters involving as few as four Students.
Preston seemed anguish...
Post-DREAM Act: Is Real Immigration Reform Dead?
The failure of the Senate to achieve Cloture on the DREAM Act has not ended the Immigration debate. Politically, both sides will attempt to capitalize on this vote. Democrats will argue that they are the only ones who care about the Hispanic community, while Republicans will claim that they are the only ones serious about enforcement. But from a policy perspective, where might the debate go during the next Congress with Republicans running the House and a stronger GOP presence in the Senat...
Why the DREAM Act Failed
It has been an historic week in Washington D.C. The problem is that only half of the story is really being told by the Mainstream Media. Don’t Ask Don’t Tell (DADT) has been repealed and the DREAM Act has been shot down. It’s only the former that is being hyped. It is as if the failure the Dream Act will be overshadowed by the passing of the DADT Repeal. Of course this is not true and whether or not the mainstream media wishes to give the DREAM Act...
