Here's another great Obozo "accomplishment" for your list....LOL Columbus Dispatch: Investigate federal Office of Refugee ResettlementPosted by Ann Corcoran on July 20, 2015 So much for the Obama Administration helping ‘the children!’ This is an editorial that follows last week’s news that ‘unaccompanied alien children,’ teens who got across the US border last year in the invasion, were allegedly handed over, by the agency charged with their care, to traffickers who have exploited them inside the US. You can read all about the original indictment against 4 men who acted as employment contractors for this massive egg farm. The farm itself is apparently not implicated, but the story mentioning the farm adds more facts to bolster our oft-repeated theory that illegal and LEGAL immigrants are desired by large agribusiness looking for cheap (and in this case apparently slave) labor. And, that is why politicians on both sides of the aisle support amnesty and open borders. I wonder what agribusinesses bankroll Jeb Bush! http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2015/07/02/Four-indicted-in-egg-farm-labor-ring.html From The Columbus Dispatch: The idea that people as young as 14 were being held as virtual slaves and forced by their captors to work at egg farms in Marion County was shocking enough. The revelation that they may have been put in the situation by the federal agency charged with protecting them is worse. It calls for a swift investigation, and Ohio Sen. Rob Portman is in the right position to see that one happens. [….] On Monday, Portman released a letter he sent to Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell, demanding information about operations of the department’s Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR). Among other responsibilities, the office is charged with overseeing unaccompanied minors who are in the U.S. illegally. The office is supposed to ensure that such children are placed with qualified adult sponsors who can protect the children’s physical and mental health. [….] According to the indictment unsealed on July 2, when the unaccompanied children were detained at the border, at least five of the teenagers were put in ORR detention facilities. That’s where their story should have gotten better. It didn’t, it got much worse, please read the whole editorial. Then this little tidbit of news: From October through May, close to 18,000 unaccompanied minors were referred to ORR, which released more than 15,000 of them to sponsors. Calling Ann Coulter (and Donald Trump)! *Here* are the names of the men (the labor contractors!) indicted. How much do you want to bet that they are here illegally! The charges, announced by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Ohio in Cleveland, are against Aroldo Castillo-Serrano, 33, of Pecos, Texas; Conrado Salgado Soto, 52, of Raymond; Ana Angelica Pedro Juan, 21, of Columbus; and Juan Pablo Duran Jr., 23, of Marysville. And, here is what we learn about Trillium farms: Trillium has not been charged, and company officials said in a statement that they were misled by the companies these four ran and that Trillium contracted with for labor. Remember readers that the federal resettlement contractors, their friends in the NO borders movement and the Obama Administration like to hide under their white hat of humanitarianism, but it always goes back to one driving force I am sorry to say—it is all about the money! Feeling good about themselves and bringing in more reliable Leftwing voters are the benies on the side. We have an extensive archive ( here) going back for several years about ‘unaccompanied minors’ as they were originally called. We call them ‘unaccompanied alien children’ now. Not to be forgotten in the whole discussion of the ‘children’ (mostly teenage boys) coming across our borders illegally is the Obama Administration’s plans to use them to expand the definition of what is a ‘refugee’ traditionally someone who has been persecuted for a very specific set of reasons. These teens are economic migrants, not legitimate refugees! See our Ohio archive here. Update: Reader Julie sent the FBI press release from earlier this month, check it out here.

Time for you to declare on the white privilege tax on white people, zax. Rat, bentway, Shep, gronie are against it. I think the only liberal who'd support a 1% income tax on white people is tejek. But you deserve the chance to speak on it. Do you really believe in white privilege or not. If you do, you'll want to mitigate it. Declare yourself.

The Trump phenomenon reflects in my opinion just how fed up people are with the status quo and PC run amok....even though he says things I strongly disagree with in some cases I have to give him credit for speaking exactly what he thinks on any given issue. No one wants to see a match up between another Bush and Monica's boyfriend's wife....its way past time to drop the PC nonsense and deal head on with real issues.....not distractions like Confederate flags, microaggressions, triggers, and the like. And really, after the abominable performance of Obozo and his crowd of crooks and liars, how could he screw things up any worse? PS...Not an endorsement for Trump....Walker is who I am going to support and Cruz is my second choice.
