Janet Napolitano: Were Working 24/7, 364 To Keep The American People Safe
Ya gotta wonder which day America’s anti-terror forces are kicking their feet up with a book and maybe a nap, instead of, you know, “keeping the American People safe?” On ABC’s World News tonight, Diane Sawyer sat down with Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to talk about the possibility of a terror attack over the holidays. And Napolitano, doing her best to keep us all feeling cozy and warm, said it’s almost a year-round operation: “What I say to the Am...

How The Government Is Monitoring You
The United States government is assembling a vast apparatus to monitor Americans involving the FBI, local police, Homeland Security offices, and the Military. The system, by far the largest and most technologically sophisticated in the nation’s history, collects, stores and analyzes information about thousands of U.S. citizens and residents, many of whom have not been accused of any wrongdoing. The government’s goal is to have every state and local Law Enforcement agency in the cou...

U.S. government using vast intelligence apparatus to collect information on American citizens - A Washington Post Investigation
This localized intelligence apparatus is part of a larger Top Secret America created since the attacks. In July, The Washington Post described an alternative geography of the United States, one that has grown so large, unwieldy and secretive that no one knows how much money it costs, how many people it employs or how many programs exist within it. Today’s story, along with related material on The Post’s Web site, examines how Top Secret America plays out at the local level. It descri...

John Quinones to lie about Arizona SB 1070, immigration enforcement (ABC, "What Would You Do?")
In early 2011, ABC News' "What Would You Do?" series - hosted by John Quinones - will broadcast an episode in which they'll lie about Arizona's new Immigration law SB 1070. In fact, the segment described here would very likely be illegal and would probably generate a Lawsuit. Specifically, Security Guards aren't empowered to enforce SB 1070, whether they're U.S. citizens or not. Arizona cops can only question someone's status after having detained them for something else and after having reaso...

U.S. program to deport criminal illegal immigrants has deported high percentages of noncriminals in some areas
Despite vows by the Obama Administration to focus its Immigration enforcement efforts on criminals, a quarter of those who have been deported through a program called Secure Communities had not been convicted of committing any Crime, government statistics show. And that percentage was vastly higher in some jurisdictions, including Prince George's County, where two-thirds of the 86 undocumented immigrants were not criminals. This Story U.S. program to deport criminal Illegal Immigrants has dep...

Obama Administration Set New Deportation Record to Appease GOP
In an effort to win GOP favor on Immigration Legislation in Congress, the Obama Administration stepped up ICE Deportations of undocumented workers to record levels. More than 800,000 immigrants were moved out of the United States in just two years by President Obama to appease Republicans, according to the Washington Post. Whenever Rep. Luis V. Gutierrez (D-Ill.) and other immigrant-rights advocates asked President Obama how a Democratic administration could preside over the greatest number of d...

Chafee snubs E-verify supporter
The Executive Director of Rhode Islanders for Immigration Law Enforcement said he is “astonished” that Governor-elect Lincoln D. Chafee has declined to meet with him before Chafee rescinds outgoing Governor Carcieri’s 2008 Executive Order on illegal immigration. RIILE leader Terry Gorman said he made “three direct phone requests” and “indirect requests through Talk Radio,” to speak with Chafee about RIILE’s position on illegal immigration, “t...

Janet Napolitano Creates Climate Change Task Force
The priorities of the Obama Administration are just stunning. They grope and virtually strip innocent American travelers while refusing to profile likely Terrorists. They ignore Crimes against Victims that don’t have the right color skin. They’re doing their best to implement regulations controlling the Internet with unnecessary regulations. And now Janet Napolitano, head of the Department of Homeland Security, is creating a Climate Change Task Force. I kid you not. She announced...

Napolitano to address climate change as Homeland Security issue

Department of Homeland Security goes off the deep end plans now to battle climate change in addition to terrorists
Not content to keep to the Terrorism prevention mission for which they were founded, DHS’s Janet Napolitano now plans to battle a religious war of “climatic Jihad”.  Here’s what happened the last time Washington DC took on weather in February 2010 (but not climate). The capital was shut down of course. Now that’s “environmental justice”. Look for pat downs at airports soon for those carrying concealed carbonated beverages. From CNS News. (CNSNews.co...

Big Sis Has Our Back
From Planet Moron Stop, Or I’ll Obtain Stakeholder Advice!

Whitman paid a high price for Latino distrust of GOP
Meg Whitman's former lead spokesman is starting to speak up about the Candidate's losing race for Governor. And he's shouting about the need for Republicans to stop the demagoguery over illegal Immigration. Senior advisor Rob Stutzman isn't exactly spilling his guts about the former eBay chief's spectacular thumping. The Billionaire lost to low-budget Jerry Brown by 54% to 41%, despite spending a record $160 million-plus, roughly $142 million of it her own money. But the Veteran Republican stra...
