Obama Weakens the Military

“Si vis pacem, para bellum.” If you want peace, plan for war. The adage is attributed to the 4th or 5th century Latin author Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus’s tract De Re Militari book 3. This fundamental wisdom is being ignored by President Obama, one of two recent Commanders-in-Chief who never spent a day in uniform, let alone under fire.

In a recent American Thinker commentary by Jim Yardley, he said, “It is apparent that the president, in developing his strategy, used the same extensive knowledge, his superior intellect, and worldly wealth of experience that he brought to his strategy for his $800-billion stimulus, his strategy for providing cost-free health care to millions of Americans, and his strategy for using ‘smart diplomacy’ to defuse not spots around the world.”

Obama Really Looking to Downsize Government? Don’t Be Silly!

Over the past three years, Americans have learned quite a lot about the mind and manners of Barack Hussein Obama, America’s greatest electoral disaster.

One fact stands out from all others about America’s failed experiment with affirmative action and diversity : The man someone installed as the 44th President of these United States is unabashedly and unstintingly an advocate for more intrusive government interference into every aspect of human life, notwithstanding specific and implied guarantees against onerous government set forth in the U.S. Constitution.

President Obama's myopic view of the Muslim Brotherhood

By Jim Kouri ( Bio )

Attaining political power includes winning elections and forming a state run according to Islamic law, the liberation of countries of Islam from a foreign yoke, uniting them into one Islamic entity, and spreading Islamic values around the globe on the ruins of the liberal West.
 
President Barack Obama's view of the Muslim Brotherhood is based on his -- and his advisors' -- apparent rationale that the Islamist group is reformed and much more like the American and European models of pluralistic societies.

THE PUZZLE

The Puzzle is something that most men and women have yet to put together or understand. It lies on the board of its founding. It has many pieces and options but it will all always leak back to its pieces, regardless of the breakup of its sections and parts.  
 
Breaking down the family, tearing apart the Country, will not fill the texts of the history books nor put the puzzle were it is placed. Each will have a place on the table and each will have a puzzle piece to put in the Puzzle. 

Raiding of the Treasury to Bribe the Irresponsible

By Frank Salvato

A little publicized political story, if played out to the satisfaction of California Democrats (read: Progressives), would not only set the stage for a politically motivated raid on the US Treasury, it would afford President Obama, his administration and political operatives plausible deniability in any “coincidental” benefit to Mr. Obama’s re-election campaign. And if you don’t think that has David Axelrod, Valerie Jarrett and David Plouffe salivating, you haven’t been paying attention for the past three years.

Cutting Sign at ICE: Tracking Current Enforcement Priorities

In the unique and often insular world of immigration law enforcement, "cutting sign" is the phrase used to describe tracking illegal alien border crossers through natural, often hostile desert or mountain, terrain. These tracking skills, still used by Border Patrol Agents today, primarily along our Southwestern border with Mexico, were originally learned from Native Americans many decades ago and have been passed on since through training and on-the-job experience.

Further, Crane has denounced the administration for changing ICE's mission in a naked effort to pander to the Hispanic community to help President Obama's re-election prospects. Crane has stated, "Law enforcement and public safety have taken a back seat to attempts to satisfy immigrant advocacy groups." Crane has also termed the administration's new policy – the one that is aimed at separating oxymoronic "law-abiding illegal aliens" from those who commit violent felonies – a "backdoor amnesty" and has also asserted that the proposed change has "undermined the agency's credibility and mission."

NCLR’s Muñoz Promoted To WH Domestic Policy Director

President Obama has elevated the one-time vice president of the National Council of La Raza (NCLR) from White House Director of Intergovernmental Affairs to the more powerful and prestigious post of Domestic Policy Director.

That means Cecilia Muñoz, a renowned open borders lobbyist in Washington D.C., will be the president’s top adviser on domestic issues and she’ll coordinate the policy-making process and supervise the execution of domestic policy in the White House. Clearly the position wields tremendous power and influence.

Administrative Reforms Insufficient to Address Flawed White House Immigration and Border Security Policies

By Matt Mayer

Despite the announcement of reasonable administrative reforms, the Obama Administration continues to pursue a deeply flawed approach to solving America’s immigration challenges. Its repeated attempts to deal with illegal immigrants here before securing the border, strengthening interior enforcement actions, and reforming the visa system remain counterproductive.

A Reasonable Act

The latest Administration policy announcement would streamline the wait for those unlawfully present in the United States—with family members here who are U.S. citizens—who have identified themselves to authorities and plan to leave the United States and reenter on a proper visa. The new proposal would let qualifying individuals apply for a provisional waiver in the U.S. before going to their countries for the visa.
