Obama War Room: Brushfires

OBAMA:  It’s finally happened.  O’Reilly’s obtained copies of my college records and interviewed an old weed buddy.  The wingnuts will have an orgasm when they learn I took a course at Occidental called “Bongs Through the Ages.”
JAY CARNEY:  The Factor’s devoting a whole show to the revelations next week, sir.  Word is, he’ll read excerpts from your Harvard Law senior thesis, “Tart Reform: a New Paradigm for the Oldest Profession.”

Rick Perry Bills Feds $349M

“We got a black president, you acting like one now, B, pay your f- – -in’ bills on time.” -  Quote by Felonious Munk.

Here’s something to think about. I can print that in the form of a quote when it is said by a black man, but if I said it, I’d be a racist according to most. Huh! I wonder how that works? And even printing that quote, the PC pussies will still point and scream “racist!” Now that’s some really twisted thinking, if you can actually justify it as thinking.

On to the subject at hand. Gov. Rick Perry has sent a bill to the government for 349 million dollars to cover the costs of incarcerating illegal aliens. My guess is with this administration, it will be ignored.

AUSTIN, Texas –  Texas Gov. Rick Perry has asked the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for nearly $350 million to cover the costs he says Texas has incurred incarcerating illegal immigrants [aliens] in state prisons and county jails.

In a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, Perry reiterated a claim he’s often leveled against the federal government: that it’s not doing enough to secure the border with Mexico and as a result, has allowed illegal immigrants [aliens] to enter the U.S. and use taxpayer-funded resources, including the prison system.

The letter was dated Aug. 10, three days before the Republican governor formally announced he is running for president. Read the rest

Apparently the bill is headed to Homeland Security where oddly enough, the Director, Janet Napolitano used to regularly bill the federal government for reimbursements for this same thing when she was governor of Arizona. I guess we’re going to find out whether or not she’s a hypocrite.

LML’s first “Rachel Maddow Of The Month Tin Foil Hat Award” winner for May 2011: Janet Napolitano

MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, Our hero!

 

And what exactly was it that the highly intelligent and superbly competent Secretary of Homeland Security did to receive our first “Rachel Maddow Of The Month Tin Foil Hat Award”?

Behold:

Last month [March], Janet Napolitano told an audience in El Paso, Texas that the security on the southern border “is better now than it ever has been” and that Mexican violence has not had a serious effect on neighboring towns.

Wear it proudly Janet. You’ve earned it. This tin foil hat is for you!

Dept. of Homeland Security Sec. Janet Napolitano

 

 

ANOTHER FOLLOW UP: Janet “From Another Planet” Napolitano proves why she’s from another planet

Referencing yesterday’s post about that pillar of competence that runs the Dept. of Homeland Security, it was recently reported:

Last month, Janet Napolitano told an audience in El Paso, Texas that the security on the southern border “is better now than it ever has been” and that Mexican violence has not had a serious effect on neighboring towns.

Yeah, well… about that….

Via the Washington Times:

The signature crimes of the most violent drug cartel in Mexico are its beheading and dismemberment of rival gang members, military personnel, law enforcement officers and public officials, and the random kidnappings and killings of civilians who get caught in its butchery and bloodletting.

But this disparate band of criminals known as Los Zetas is no longer just a concern in Mexico. It has expanded its deadly operations across the southwestern border, establishing footholds and alliances in states from New York to California.

What again have I said about Napolitano since day one? Something about an incompetent boob that is unqualified to hold the position she has. Who’s right again? Thank me very much. Janet Napolitano is this administrations Jocelyn Elders. What an embarrassment.

Janet “From Another Planet” Napolitano proves why she’s from another planet

How many times have I said she’s an incompetent boob that is unqualified to hold the position of Secretary of Homeland Security, a couple of hundred?

Here’s yet another example via The Daily Caller. You really can’t make this stuff up.

Last month, Janet Napolitano told an audience in El Paso, Texas that the security on the southern border “is better now than it ever has been” and that Mexican violence has not had a serious effect on neighboring towns.

Law enforcement that are at ground zero everyday, tell a not so surprisingly different story:

“These are foreign-born criminals that are here in our country,” Babeu said, “That’s what we’re finding is going on here, and not only is it unacceptable, it has created a situation where now, there are as few as 75, as many as 100 lookout posts from drug cartels just for this one smuggling corner- drug cartels hold high positions on terrain features or mountains to provide safe passage for their drug cartels. That a cartel from Mexico can have this mature an organization in our country is outrageous.”

Who are you going to believe. A fool in D.C., or a local sheriff in a border county at ground zero? Well, if you’re a leftist undoubtedly you will believe a D.C. bureaucrat, while the rest of us that do not suffer from mental illness will believe the local authorities.

Only 1 in 4 have any type of favorable view of Janet Napolitano

Thanks to TSA airport pat-downs and the continuing debate over illegal immigration, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano remains one of the better-known – and most unpopular – members of President Obama’s Cabinet.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that only 25% of Likely Voters have at least a somewhat favorable impression of Napolitano, down from 32% in June of last year. Forty-seven percent (47%) have an unfavorable opinion of the former Arizona governor, while 29% are not sure what they think of her. The new findings include seven percent (7%) with a Very Favorable view of Napolitano and 29% with a Very Unfavorable one.

Lard Ass’s Sex Trade Website shuttered By Hosting Company

How low and cheesy will the Dept. of Homeland Security go? I think they’ll stoop to any level, after all, it’s a “national security issue.” Since the Obama administration took over, there sure seem to be an awful lot of “national security issues.” That’s the standard excuse for the DHS to butt in to places where it clearly does not belong. When Bush made the mistake of creating DHS, it was never intended to morph in to what it has become, and what it’s desires are. It’s kind of a mini-version of the United Nations, in a way.

DHS’ sex tourism website has been shuttered. How did sex tourism for lack of a better term, become a national security issue? It’s not. But everything to DHS seems to be justified for them to stick their noses in under the guise of “national security.”

MARCH 9–In an aggressive bid to entice prospective “sex tourists,” the Department of Homeland Security last year launched an undercover web site that purported to arrange trips from the U.S. to Canada, where clients could engage in sexual activity with minors, The Smoking Gun has learned.

The “Precious Treasure Holiday Company” web site was active until a few weeks ago when its Massachusetts-based web hosting firm removed the site from its servers, apparently in response to a complaint about its content. Now, visitors to precioustreasureholidaycompany.com are greeted with the message, “This site has been suspended.”

After a year online, the DHS undercover site may have fallen victim to its own sleazy, overt come-on. As seen below, the site’s front page carried three symbols that an FBI intelligence bulletin has identified as being used by pedophiles. Additionally, the site’s acronym, PTHC, is an allusion to “preteen hardcore” pornography. The site’s carefully misspelled motto–“We Help Make Your Fantasy’s Come True!”–also does little to mask its illicit intentions.

An account executive with the hosting firm, who appeared unaware that “Precious Treasure Holiday Company” was a government operation, said that following a site’s suspension an internal investigation is launched. Upon the review’s completion, a site is either reinstated or ruminated. The executive, Jason Crawford, added that if a customer’s site is found to contain illicit material like child pornography, the FBI is contacted.

So, DHS does as it pleases without obtaining warrants or even probable cause, they use a business without obtaining permission to entrap people. How many constitutional violations do you suppose they committed in this ridiculousness? Were Canadian authorities even aware of this? My money says, “no.”

Look, I’m not advocating the sex trades in any way, shape, or form. I am advocating for the elimination of the Dept. of Homeland Security. It’s turning in to Frankenstein’s monster.
