1. Breakfast 2. Small talk 3. Vote for a comprehensive immigration bill they haven’t read, fucking over not only their base, but all those among the American citizenry who don’t profit directly from cheap labor, depressed salaries, a permanent fund-raising tool calling for effective border control, the potential resurgence of unions (and the union dues that come with them, which are then laundered through the Democrat Party in return for

“Candidate Marco Rubio in 2010: An ‘Earned Path to Citizenship is Basically Code for Amnesty'”
Sure. But then, he was trying to get elected, and when amnesty was a bad thing, not a noble gesture to allow the best of us to come out of the shadows where racism and xenophobia and anti-immigrant sentiment (and the threat of having to pay taxes) sadly forced them. Once they jumped the border. Now, though, he wants the Bushies to groom him for bigger things, maybe as a
Senate “Comprehensive Immigration Reform Bill” nutshelled
I already posted this in Twitter — albeit constrained by the 140 character limit — so if you’ve already seen it, forgive me. Here in this venue, though, you have an opportunity to discuss it. So here it goes: The Senate’s Comprehensive Immigration Reform measure is essentially an attempt to institutionalize, on a national scale, the ward politics of the Tammany Hall days. In this striving it mirrors ObamaCare, which
Taegan Goddard at Political Wire touts new poll showing “broad support” for immigration reform
Which is rather shocking until you more closely examine the questions. For instance: 1) Do you support those on an uphill battle to escape tyranny and who yearn to live free? 2) Or are you some sort of fucking racist, nativist douchebag who only wants to see Mexicans when they’re cleaning your hotel room, fixing your roof, or serving you complementary tortilla chips at Chi-Chi’s? 3) Jennifer Lopez has a
California is Obama’s Tammany Hall [Darleen Click]
Unfortunately, this time the New York Times is cheering on Boss Tweed Obama and there is no Harper’s Weekly to oppose him. If you have to keep it a secret, you probably shouldn’t be doing it. But the California legislature and the new Covered California health insurance exchange are conspiring to keep secret how they will dole out more than half a billion dollars in taxpayer dollars to contractors. The
“Passing It to Find Out What’s in It, Again” [Darleen Click]
Behold, the Hoeven-Corker amendment, up for vote Monday, coming in at 1,200 pages The Hoeven-Corker amendment to the Gang of Eight bill is essentially a new bill. It is almost 1,200 pages long. Some parts of it are identical to some of the provisions of the original Gang of Eight bill, some parts are very different, and some parts are slightly different in ways that could prove very important but
“IRS Sent $46 Million in Tax Refunds to 23,994 ‘Unauthorized’ Aliens — All at the SAME Address” [Darleen Click]
Oopsy! The IRS sent more than $46 million in tax refunds to 23,994 “unauthorized” alien workers who all listed the same address in Atlanta, Ga., in 2011, according to an audit report by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA). However, the Atlanta address that received millions of dollars in refunds was not the only address apparently housing thousands of “unauthorized” aliens. In fact, it wasn’t even the only
Make no mistake — Corporations, like Adobe and Microsoft, can be just as amoral, envious, grasping and shortsighted as Big Gov [Darleen Click]
The only thing is, we the customer, can immediately vote with our wallets. Microsoft just reversed itself on the Xbox One because the fan base rose up en masse and said NO WAY Wednesday’s statement from Don Mattrick, president of Microsoft’s interactive entertainment business, was less mea culpa and more customer relations 101, thanking consumers who had beaten Microsoft like a pinata all over the Web these past few weeks
Betsy McCaughey: ObamaCare, immigration reform laws set up national Tammany Hall government
Essentially, McCaughey, a former NY Lieutenant Governor under George Pataki (and later, Democrat challenger for Governor), points out in her appearance with Mark Levin last evening that the laws are written in such a way that funds allocated are set up to be distributed at the state level to political activist groups, who are given the role of helping people navigate the new laws and, importantly, register them to vote.
“IRS Pays Out $70,000,000 In Bonuses Amidst Scandals”
When something is so broken and so perverse that it literally compresses of its own weight into a nugget of pure and perfect bureaucratic and political evil, should we really be protesting it? Or should we just look upon it with wonder and admiration, like a kind of high art?
