Dude, are those piñatas? Swinging in the trees? Because I could have sworn that when I went to bed last night that the only thing hanging from those trees down the block was a whole entire shitload of not piñatas… — Although I have to say, I’m not hating this sudden craving I’m having for smothered chile rellenos and a post-July 4 fireworks show. So, glass half full and whatnot,

“Murrieta Mayor: Feds Never Contacted Us About Dumping Illegals in Our City”
Well, why should they? I mean, who are you, anyway? Obama is King. And kings don’t ask permission. Nor are they committed to following federal law. Or abiding the rights of states and local governments. Why, it’s almost as if this local flunky believes he matters: Alan Long, the mayor of Murrieta, California, defended the protests in his community this week. [He] also told FOX News the federal government have

“This means Warren: Obama backs challenger to Hillary”
So. A fake pragmatist and real Marxist has decided, quietly, to back a fake Indian and real Marxist against another fake centrist and real Marxist. Oh, the intrigue! Except that no matter how you slice it, the Democrats are looking once again to nominate a Marxist. Which should do wonders for the economy. Better hope Hillary doesn’t have any dirt on you, Mr Obama. And as for you, Ms Warren,

#IWonPenPhone unable to dispel reports of His incentivizing illegal migration; pivots to Blame Bush™ [Darleen Click]
Even the Left Angeles Times is having a hard time spinning this President Obama and his aides have repeatedly sought to dispel the rumors driving thousands of children and teens from Central America to cross the U.S. border each month with the expectation they will be given a permiso and allowed to stay. But under the Obama administration, those reports have proved increasingly true. The number of immigrants under 18

Leftists quietly consider how to tinker with disaster known as ObamaCare [Darleen Click]
Fascism has its issues … Robert Gibbs’ prediction that Obamacare’s employer mandate would — and perhaps should — be jettisoned shocked Democrats back in April. By July, the former aide and longtime confidant of President Barack Obama had a lot more company. More and more liberal activists and policy experts who help shape Democratic thinking on health care have concluded that penalizing businesses if they don’t offer health insurance is

Damn you, conservatives, you just Hate The Poor™, you h8ters! [Darleen Click]
Oh god, the concern trolling from one of those “good” kind of self-described conservatives who want to shake their finger of SHAME SHAME at cartoon stereotypes rather than doing their homework is getting on my last nerve. This kind of attitude toward the less fortunate isn’t new on the right, and its something that I see repeated on a regular basis. People who are among the long-term unemployed are seen

“If Only Thomas Jefferson Could Settle the Issue”
NYT: A scholar is now saying that the official transcript of the document produced by the National Archives and Records Administration contains a significant error — smack in the middle of the sentence beginning “We hold these truths to be self-evident,” no less. The error, according to Danielle Allen, a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, N.J., concerns a period that appears right after the phrase “life,

“MAP: Where feds are trying to relocate illegal border surgers”
But remember: this is all about compassion and “acts of love,” and has nothing to do with politics, or creating a permanent ruling class by turning demographically to an electoral welfare state. And how dare you suggest such a thing, racist xenophobes who hate! As an aside, I’ve often referred back to the Weathermen’s Prairie Fire, and the discussion these Utopian radical elites had about the numbers of recalcitrant bitterclingers

Happy Independence Day [Darleen Click]
We are heading out to the Del Mar fairgrounds this year. America is in concert there tonight – along with the Marine Corps Band and fireworks.

Overheard inside a Baghdad bunker, Thursday, July 3
First ISIS militant: “Assure me, Aswad, that at the time of the Great Zero Hour offensive against the western-coddling puppet government of Iraq, the paper tiger American fighting men won’t stand in our way, with their big guns and their devilish air power.” 2nd ISIS militant: “They shan’t, my brother. They have seen the error of their ways and, through the urging of the Muslim Brotherhood, are acceding to the coming
