Family Separation Week – Trump Gives DHS Discretion “to the extent permitted by law”

smirking-trumpVia an Executive Order titled, “Affording Congress an Opportunity to Address Family Separation,” Mr. Trump has instructed relevant Federal agencies lead by the Department of Homeland Security that they,

 (a)  … , shall, to the extent permitted by law and subject to the availability of appropriations, maintain custody of alien families during the pendency of any criminal improper entry or immigration proceedings involving their members.

(b)  The Secretary shall not, however, detain an alien family together when there is a concern that detention of an alien child with the child’s alien parent would pose a risk to the child’s welfare.

What does this mean for Family Separation Week?

What’s Real and What Isn’t

Sometimes posting  the news can appear to be a real endorsement. Not true. We clear that up then work over the impending imposition by DHS of Real ID rules upon Granite Staters, a Federal mandate the Democrats in New Hampshire nullified back in 2007.

Just a Quick Note To The Democrat Enablers…

There are more than a few people making excuses for the recent scandals involving the Benghazi cover up, the AP phone scandal and the IRS.  Without laboring the point these are just the latest of those we know about.   The point I want to make is this:  Are the people excusing or dismissing this behavior because … Read more

GAO to Investigate Ammunition Stockpiling By Federal Agencies

AmmoThe Government accountability office (GAO) has begun looking into why the Obama administration is arming agencies with enough ammo to sustain the average war for 27 years?  Good question.  We’ve been wondering that ourselves.  Why would a guy who claimed that the country needed a civilian national security force be arming the department of education, and…as you’ll hear in the video on the jump, fisheries agents who apparently need 46,000 rounds of hollow points to…do some redneck fishin’ ?

Hollow points?

More ammunition than the military needs for almost three decades of heavy fighting in Iraq?  Hmmm.  Federal agencies need 80 years worth of “practice” ammo?  If it were a Republican president creating a civilian national security force would Democrats be dirtying their Maggie Hassan supplied adult diapers so quickly that they couldn’t change them fast enough?  You bet.  But this is Obama.  Any suggestion that he might actually be arming a civilian security force–see also: a personal army–well that would be crazy talk.

But the GAO wants to know.  And we can’t wait for the leaks to begin about how the Obama Admin is trying to pressure them to back off.

Great video on the jump–from of all places, USNews online.

Obama’s Army….Only Following Executive Orders

Is Obama’s “Civilian National Security Force” being staged and supplied under our very noses? “We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.” – BHO, Colorado, … Read more

From The Edge of Sequestration – About Those Job Cuts…

We’ve been warned of tainted food as the FDA furloughs workers, thinning ranks as border agents get let go, and fewer Federal prosecutors, and don’t forget about those FAA employees that have to be let go. So why, in the age of sequesteria, has the Federal Government posted job opening to fill 2,596 positions in just the past ten days? … Read more

From The Edge Of Sequestration…Another Update

The Edge Of Sequestration.  Sounds like a Soap Opera, but then it is.  Take the TSA for example.  Janet Napolitano promised we would suffer if Sequestration were allowed to take effect as workers were furloughed. Wait-times at airports would skyrocket because of these budget cuts.

While you’re waiting in those longer lines that may or may not exist, you’ll have extra time to admire the new uniforms TSA bought just before the sequester hit.  DHS signed a $50 million deal to buy uniforms just before the sequester hit, some of which will be made in Mexico.

At least the TSA is giving jobs to Mexicans that Americans wont do…in Mexico.  And back in the US, no one is reporting an increase in delays.
