Newt: House Benghazi Report Has Been ‘Co-Opted By The Klingons
[Daily Caller] Former Republican Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich said that the House Benghazi report, which vindicates many administration claims, “fundamentally misleading” during an appearance on CNN’s “Wolf.” The committee, he said, had been “co-opted by the Klingons.”
Yet another Master of The Obvious moment.

Rotten News For Mary From The Early Voting Statistics
"Now she’s at 38. Which means Bill Cassidy is at 62. And it’s the worst electoral beating of an incumbent Senator since Republican James Glenn Beall was blown out of office by 25.6 points in Maryland in 1964 – fifth-worst for an incumbent in the history of American Senate elections."

#1  Well it is not a surprise to a rational person that Landrieu is getting her ass shot off in the run off election...what is a surprise that the fever swamp of corruption in Louisiana is allowing this to happen.

I guess even in New Orleans they are voting for jobs over government handouts.

#2  he may or may not have enough Dem votes to withstand a veto. The Pubs should keep throwing bills at him to veto that a sizeable Dem contingent (that wants to get re-elected) will back. Chip away bit by bit. Divide and conquer, bitches!

Champ: Americans have no right to favor Americans
[Daily Caller] The only Americans who can legitimately object to immigration are native Indian-Americans, President Champ told his Chicago audience Nov. 24, as he made an impassioned ideological plea for endless immigration, cultural diversity and a big government to manage the resulting multicultural society.

“There have been periods where the folks who were already here suddenly say, ‘Well, I don’t want those folks,’ even though the only people who have the right to say that are some Native Americans,” Champ said, rhetorically dismissing the right of 300 million actual Americans to decide who can live in their homeland.

Americans should not favor other Americans over foreigners, Obama demanded. “Sometimes we get attached to our particular tribe, our particular race, our particular religion, and then we start treating other folks differently… that, sometimes, has been a bottleneck to how we think about immigration,” he said in the face of many polls showing rising opposition to his immigration agenda.
Unworthy of comment.

#1  So being an American citizen carries no value, and in fact is a negative because we still have to pay taxes and if we vote we do jury duty.

So noted.

You are now relieved of command Obumble.

#2  This is a typical bullshit Obama false choice: either you agree with what I have done or you're against immigration. Immigration per se is not the issue. The issues are 1- whether the USA should exercise any control over who crosses its borders (shouldn't you at least have to sign the guest book and check a box to say whether you're a card-carrying member of Al-Qaeda?) and 2- whether Obama can decide all by his lonesome what those controls should be? It's a variation of "Do you agree with me or are you a racist?"

Obamacare Offers Firms $3000 to Hire Illegals before Americans
[WashingtonTimes] Under the president’s new amnesty, businesses will have a $3,000-per-employee incentive to hire illegal immigrants over native-born workers because of a quirk of Obamacare.
Ah yes, a "little known quirk" in the law...
President Obama’'s temporary
Temporary? It's going to expire?

I'm reminded of Jose's Axiom to Murphy's Law: nothing is more permanent than that which is called temporary...
amnesty, which lasts three years, declares up to 5 million illegal immigrants to be lawfully in the country and eligible for work permits, but it still deems them ineligible for public benefits such as buying insurance on Obamacare's health exchanges.

Under the Affordable Care Act, that means businesses who hire them won't have to pay a penalty for not providing them health coverage -- making them $3,000 more attractive than a similar native-born worker, whom the business by law would have to cover.

he loophole was confirmed by congressional aides and drew condemnation from those who said it put illegal immigrants ahead of Americans in the job market.

"If it is true that the president's actions give employers a $3,000 incentive to hire those who came here illegally, he has added insult to injury," said Rep. Lamar Smith, Texas Republican. "The president's actions would have just moved those who came here illegally to the front of the line, ahead of unemployed and underemployed Americans."

A Department of Homeland Security official confirmed that the newly legalized immigrants won't have access to Obamacare, which opens up the loophole for employers looking to avoid the penalty.

#5  So I can shitcan my I-9s then?

BTW, there are real penalties, including jail time, for hiring illegal immigrants. S'what was so funny about all the political heads with their Illegals Served Your Dinner theme - they were de facto accousing their hosts of breaking the law.

Nice of them to refer Latinos to Kitchen Slaves. It is as insulting as Gruber.
