Eric Holder to investigate “racist” parade float
Eric Holder’s Department of Injustice has not seen any reason to investigate Dianne Feinstein’s allegations that the CIA illegally accessed the Senate Intelligence Committee’s computers, the NSA spying scandal, the IRS targeting scandal, and the Black Panthers voter intimidation case–to name just a few off the top of my head–but just when it seems as if there is nothing the top law enforcement agent in the country is willing to investigate Eric Holder has finally found a worthy cause.
During an Independence Day parade in Nebraska there was a parade float with a caricature of Barack Obama standing in front of an out-house. The out-house was labeled as Barack Obama’s presidential library.
Here is a picture of the offending float:
Despite a cease and desist order warning at least one Border Patrol agent to stop talking to the media another Border Patrol agent has refused to stand down on this issue. His name is Hector Garza and he is a Border Patrol union spokesman.
Last week he informed us that the TSA was allowing illegal immigrants with no identification to fly on commercial flights (it is now being reported the TSA has changed this policy in the wake of the revelation) and yesterday he dropped this bombshell:

Border Patrol union claims the TSA is letting illegal immigrants fly without identification
Just when you thought the situation at the border, and the Obama regime’s response to it, could not get any worse we find out from the Border Patrol union that the TSA is allowing illegal immigrants to fly on commercial airplanes with just their ‘Notice to Appear’ form as identification. Or to put it another way; with no identification.
Here is more from a Border Patrol union spokesman, Hector Garza:
Back on June 14th America’s Watchtower reported on the news that Federal law required Lois Lerner to print out and save all of her email correspondence. Yet Lois Lerner’s attorney stated that she did not print out her emails because she was not aware she was required to do so.
Taylor said Lerner did not print out official records she may have sent over email because she didn’t know she had to.
The Federal Records Act requires agencies to back up all “business” correspondence — anything dealing with policy or operations, for instance. And while the IRS says it’s up to employees to print off hard copies of official emails and file them, Taylor said Lerner did not because she “did not think it was required.”
Even if this is true Lois Lerner is in violation of the law for, as we all know, ignorance of the law is no excuse from the law, however the story is changing.
Mitt Romney leads in latest New Hampshire primary poll
Despite his assurances to the contrary the rumors still persist that Mitt Romney may run for president in 2016. Earlier this week Jason Chaffetz predicted that Mitt Romney would not only run for president again but also claimed he would be the next president of the United States.
Here is what he had to say:
“I think he actually is gonna run for president. He probably doesn’t want me to say that,” Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) told host Chris Matthews on MSNBC’s “Hardball” on Monday. Chaffetz also backed the former Massachusetts governor early in the GOP nomination process for 2012.
“A hundred times he says he’s not, but Mitt Romney has always accomplished what he’s set out to do. I think he’s proven right on a lot of stuff. I happen to be in the camp that thinks he’s actually going to run, and I think he will be the next president of the United States,” Chaffetz said.
If Mitt Romney looks at the New Hampshire polls he might just reconsider his position. Back in January of this year America’s Watchtower speculated on the possibility of another run by the failed candidate and that post included a New Hampshire poll which showed Mitt Romney with an early lead in the New Hampshire primary. Mitt Romney had 25% of the vote while Rand Paul had 18% and Chris Christie had 17%.
Well, the latest New Hampshire primary poll is out and here is how it shakes down:
The GOP field has New Jersey Gov. Christie with 19 percent, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul with 14 percent, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush with 11 percent, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio with 8 percent, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal with 5 percent, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz with 5 percent, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker with 3 percent and Texas Gov. Rick Perry with 2 percent and 1 percent each for Ohio Sen. Rob Portman and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, with 15 percent undecided on a favorite.
So Chris Christie has gained a couple of points while Rand Paul has fallen four points, however:
When Romney is added, he is favored by 39 percent, while all other potential candidates fall below 10 percent.
Mitt Romney has gained fourteen points since January while all the other candidates fall below ten percent. Somebody please tell me that Mitt Romney, Chris Christie, and Jeb Bush are not the best the Republican party has to offer!
And while you are at it could you also please explain to me what is happening in my state because I simply do not understand what the voters are thinking at this point.
It is still early and nobody has announced anything to this point so here is hoping that once the race gets into full gear and people start campaigning that somebody other than the big three will capture the imagination of the voters of New Hampshire.
Sorry for the harsh-sounding nature of the title but impeachment is a losing issue, if it is an issue at all, and here is why:
The calls for the impeachment of Barack Obama have grown in the wake of the manufactured border crisis, and recently it was amplified when Sarah Palin wrote an opinion piece for Breitbart saying it is time for impeachment.
While there is nobody who opposes the president more than I do the calls for impeachment are misguided. I have news for you; impeachment is not going to happen so get over it and focus on the issues ahead of the election.
Barack Obama has no intention of visiting the border in the midst of his manufactured illegal immigration crisis and he has made that all too clear in recent days. His latest excuse? He isn’t interested in photo ops. So says the man who has been interested in photo ops at least 35 times, and this list does not include the photo op with Chris Christie in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy or the selfie he took at Nelson Mandela’s funeral.
Texas Democrat Henry Cuellar has been very vocal in his opposition to Barack Obama on this issue, so much so that he claims he received an angry phone call from the White House, and now he has another message for Barack Obama: “we don’t need to have photos.”
