Napolitano Pledges $5M in Taxpayer Funds to Univ of California DREAMers
New University of California President Janet Napolitano said $5 million of taxpayer funds will be given to illegal immigrants attending the University of California system.

Napolitano, the former Homeland Security Secretary, made the announcement on Wednesday "in her first public address since she became head of the 10-campus university system a month ago" at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco.

...UC officials estimate there are about 900 students who are illegal immigrants enrolled in the UC system. Though they are ineligible for federal aid, the "DREAMers" can receive state and campus-based aid because of a bill California Gov. Jerry Brown (D) signed two years ago.

Illinois to Begin Issuing Driver's Licenses to Illegal Aliens in December
As of December 3, the State of Illinois will begin accepting applications from illegal aliens for state issued driver’s licenses. State officials estimate as many as 500,000 illegal aliens currently living in the state could apply for the licenses.

Governor Pat Quinn signed the law which created the “temporary visitor driver’s license” almost a year ago.

...The state plans to process 100,000 illegal alien driver’s license applications annually. According to Secretary of State Jesse White, getting the program up and running will cost $1 million.

Judicial Watch Obtains Records Through FOIA – Emails Showing IRS’ Lois Lerner Illegally Gave Tea Party Info To FEC
Posted on October 31, 2013 by Sundance

WASHINGTON DC - The Internal Revenue Service shared highly confidential tax information of several Tea Party groups in the IRS scandal with the Federal Election Commission, a clear violation of federal law, according to newly obtained emails.

The public watchdog group Judicial Watch told Secrets Thursday that it was former scandal boss Lois Lerner who shared the information on groups including the American Future Fund and the American Issues Project.

The emails obtained by Judicial Watch show that the IRS, which was considering the tax status of the groups, gave the FEC the tax returns of the groups, including income, expenditures and staff pay. The emails also revealed the exact working of the prying political questions the IRS wanted the groups to reveal, such as their goals and the requests for brochures and ads.

Often in error but never in doubt, Barack Obama could walk into the Rose Garden and step on a half-dozen rakes like Foghorn Leghorn in an old Looney Tunes cartoon, and the official line would be, “He meant to do that.”

Obviously he wouldn't want to delay Obamacare. But that decision was out of his hands due to his administration's incompetence. The only choice before him was whether he would get the blame for the delay or if the Republicans would.

Why Obama didn't do this and why it didn't occur to him are good questions. Hubris obviously played a role, as it does in nearly everything this White House does. But the best answer is he didn't know how terrible things were over at HHS. In other words, the chess master didn't even know what pieces he had on the board, which is usually not something we associate with chess masters. It's something we associate with people who don't even know how to play the game.

Navy SEALs ordered to remove ‘don’t tread on me’ Navy Jack from uniforms
Carl Higbie
Author, 'Battle on the Home Front'
Nov 1, 2013

The Navy Jack is the ‘don’t tread on me’ flag, one that has earned a revered place in America’s naval history and a beloved place in sailor’s hearts, through its use for over two centuries. This symbol of America’s naval ferocity has spanned our country’s entire existence, flying from the masts of the Continental Navy during the war of independence, to today’s War on Terror. In fact, an amendment to the Navy code called SECNAV Instruction 10520.6 clearly states that as of 31 May 2002 all ships are to fly the flag throughout the duration of the War on Terror.

So why would ranking SEAL commanders ban the historical symbol? Is the proverbial top bass banning the flag? Is President Obama?

Clearly the administration and sycophant “top brass” officers have degraded America’s military prestige; from hand-tying rules of engagement, to uniform regulations that make our military allegedly more compatible with foreign forces, to the banning of an awe-inspiring flag that traces its roots to the first U.S. Navy.

During my two deployments to Iraq, “Don’t Tread on Me” was a phrase seen on nearly every uniform and platoon space — including mine. From patches to flags to large paintings on concrete barriers, our commanders themselves wore the insignia on their sleeves — until now.

...Why would our leaders sell out our heritage? Why would they rob present and future sailors of our battle cry?

When a friend of mine asked his leadership the same question, he was told, “The Jack is too closely associated with radical groups.” We must assume that this thought policeman embedded in the SEAL community is speaking of the Tea Party, whose flag (which also dates from the American Revolution) depicts a snake with the same defiant slogan as The Navy Jack.

This begs yet another question: Who defines “radical group”? The last time I checked, all military personnel are under oath to “support and defend the constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” The Tea Party stands for constitutional rights and founding principles of civil liberties and limited government. Radical? Not unless you’re a leftist hell-bent on destroying the foundations of our country. Or as the President has stated as the objective of his presidency, “to fundamentally transform” America.

...Gone are the days of the American war fighter being perceived as a bloodthirsty Myrmidon willing to defend public policy at all costs. What we’re now beginning to recognize is that modern American service members are, the majority of the time, as socially diverse and politically involved as their peers in the private sector.

So begins the troubling story of former Navy SEAL Carlton Higbie and his role in a legal battle that stemmed from a 173 page personal manuscript that he released last year.

Every aspect of Higbie’s ordeal leading up to and shortly following the publication of his book, Battle on the Home Front: A Navy SEAL’s Mission to Save the American Dream, appears to be—at times—as maddening as the current conflict he has become embroiled in.

“I put this in a book not to bash the military, but to improve the system,” Higbie, who currently resides in Virginia Beach, VA, told me during a phone interview. “If I’m going to put my life on the line for my country, I want to make sure things are right across the board.”

...The subsequent release of his book in early April of 2012—which didn’t violate any operational security and was clearly stated in the opening pages that it’s not an official stance by the Department of the Navy or the Department of Defense—set forth a chain of events in which Carl Higbie was forced out of the Navy under suspicious conditions, lost his security clearance and, under more egregious circumstances, had his honorable discharge downgraded shortly after his separation from the Navy from a commander he never met. This particular injection, according to Higbie and his lawyer, Guy Reschenthaler, may possibly be the first known case where the United States Navy reduced a sailor’s character of service after his honorable separation.

Chapter 11: Proposed Solutions
A cut and dry logical and factually based opinion on what I believe could send this country back down the right track.

The American dream is becoming a nightmare!

And we—ordinary Americans—are the only ones who can stop it.

The truth is, we have collectively sat numbly by and allowed the destruction of our precious dream. We’ve let golden-tongued politicians, power-hungry government, and loud-mouthed liberals lead us down a rosy path of false promises, pie-in-the-sky expectations, and big government give-aways. Now we’re paying the piper with a stumbling Wall Street, outrageous taxes, galloping unemployment, escalating debt ceiling, and a myriad of other catastrophic disasters.

Our beloved America is dying. Old Glory has been kicked into the dirt. Terrorists are on the rampage within our own borders. And we’re still sitting around like the three monkeys—see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil. But the evil is all around us. And we must wake up and do something about it . . . now . . . before it’s too late!

In Battle on the Home Front, author Carl Higbie presents an in-your-face, no-holds-barred exposé of America today. He’s finally saying what most Americans want to say but are too afraid to say. And he pulls no punches! He tells it as it is, calling names of prominent political and public figures—laying it all on the line.

You’ll be shocked by facts he reveals and statements he makes in this provocative treatise.

So, strap in, America! It’s time to charge into action and take back our homeland from the murderers of our dreams and hopes. Like Carl, we need to say:

If you don’t like America, then leave.
It’s our country, our way of life, and our dream.
And we’ll die to preserve it!

Common Core is the name of a program being pushed hard now by the genetically defective control freaks that have always lurked around the edges of – and now have fully infested – what was once the freest, least-intrusive Capitol city of any major nation in the world: Washington, DC. Parenthetically, every time I visit that wretched hive of scum and villainy, I become more and more saddened that we named it after one of perhaps two or three men in all of human history who voluntarily walked away from concentrated power. If we had had any understanding of human nature we would have called the nation’s capitol Arnoldville.
