Phoenix, Arizona - A federal judge on Wednesday blocked key parts of Arizona’s controversial immigration law, one day prior to law’s start date. Included in the sections to be blocked are powers given to police which opponents of the bill state would target persons of Hispanic heritage regardless of their legal status. The ruling is meant to last until a final ruling is made on the United States v. Arizona case, which will determine the final fate of the law. In the court docum ...

It's going to a committee. Why? Do they really need to study this bill? It's very simple. Why this bill should become law: The bill would give the VA Secretary greater authority to fire employees and remove them from SES service due to poor performance in the same manner a Member of Congress can remove a member of their staff. The bill would require the VA Secretary to give the Senate and House Veterans’ Affairs Committees notice of removal within 30 days of removing an indi ...

Washington (AFP) - In a symbolic rebuke to US President Barack Obama's unilateral action on immigration, the Republican-led House of Representatives voted Thursday to block his plan to shield millions of people from deportation. The bill, which passed 219-197 along party lines, was introduced by conservatives furious with what they consider Obama's abuse of power when he announced his executive order last month. But it is unlikely to reach the floor of the Senate, where Obama's ...

GOP Rebuffs Dem Concession On Financial Reform Brian Beutler | April 18, 2010, 5:12PM Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) Senate Republicans say they're prepared to work constructively with Democrats on a consensus financial reform bill. But this weekend, after the White House offered up a key substantive concession, they swatted President Obama's hand away in a fashion that was all too reminiscent of their strategy of opposition to health care reform. "We ought to g ...

registered voters in Philadelphia since 2013, and almost half even voted in at least one recent election, according to a legal group that sued to get voter registration records. Joseph Vanderhulst, an attorney with the Public Interest Legal Foundation, noted Philadelphia knows about those 86 illegal voters only because officials received specific requests — in almost every case from the voters themselves — to remove the names from the rolls. He said there is no way to know how many non-c ...

U.S. military pilots who have returned from the fight against the Islamic State in Iraq are confirming that they were blocked from dropping 75 percent of their ordnance on terror targets because they could not get clearance to launch a strike, according to a leading member of Congress. Strikes against the Islamic State (also known as ISIS or ISIL) targets are often blocked due to an Obama administration policy to prevent civilian deaths and collateral damage, according to Rep. Ed Royce (R., C ...

Maybe they didn't show it on Fox (because they want to pretend it didn't happen?). Basically, in an interview with Hugh Hewitt (who tried desperately to give him an out because no matter how crazy you want to be, this is a real bad look), he claimed President Obama founded ISIS, along with Hillary. Delusional much? You keep ranting about the email messages again, but guess where the media attention is going, and not in a good way? Just when Trump might be able to drive a wedge in ag ...

Great article about healthcare giant, HCA. HCA was founded by Thomas Frist Jr., brother of former senator William Frist. It is now owned by three private equity firms, one of which is Bain Capital. In 2010, while the rest of the economy was tanking, the three buyout firms benefited to the tune of 1 billion dollars each. Any thoughts about how this involvement impacts Mr. Romney's approach to healthcare reform? ...

This video is interesting. Why does America have to deal with those who won't assimalate to our country?

Well, after I blew off steam here. I decided to keep my mouth shut. No telling anyone off or mouthing off in the stands. I had very nicely asked the coach if there was anything my DD needed to work on to be able to be a flyer and I decided to just leave it at that. I decided that I would alienate my daughter more by running my mouth and I decided nothing would change anyway. So I threw up my hands in futility and swallowed my anger which was EXTREMELY difficult! Fa ...

Islamic terrorists have no scruples about slaughtering schoolchildren and that's what worries the residents of Florence, Colorado, when they hear the president talk about transferring up to 61 Gitmo prisoners to the Supermax prison in their small town. It should also concern the prison towns in Kansas and South Carolina that the administration is considering as terrorist depositories. In recent years, Muslim radicals have taken two schools hostage, causing the deaths of 318 schoolchildre ...
