When will this ever end?

As “Cryin Chuckie” Schummer” would say: We are a country of immigrants. Yep he’s right, but that was long ago Chuckie, too bad you weren’t in that car!

ANALYSIS/OPINION:

The DUI suspect who plowed his car into a family driving home from Disneyland, leaving a 6-year-old with serious head injuries, was an illegal immigrant who’s been deported 15 times in the last 15 years.

Yet another instance of an accident that never should have happened. Go sanctuary cities, right Democrats?

The crash occurred in San Diego’s San Ysidro district, about a block from the family’s home.

“We heard the tires screeching, but it wasn’t like the screeching of stopping, it was like the screeching of accelerating into the turn,” said Benjamin Lake, the father, who said his son, Lennox, was strapped into a car seat in the back of their vehicle at the time of collision, NBC 7 reported. “I saw bright lights and the next thing I know, I woke up with airbags deployed.”

Emergency responders found the mother unconscious and Lennox with various head and body injuries, including a fractured skull and bleeding from the nose and ears.

The suspect, meanwhile?

Well, he fled the scene, along with his passenger. Investigators found them about a half hour later, several miles from the scene, in a truck that matched the description of the involved vehicle.

Constantino Banda-Acosta, 38, now faces charges of driving under the influence, driving without a license and felony hit and run. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said he was a Mexican national and has been deported 15 times in 15 years. His passenger, unnamed, was also an illegal who’s been previously deported.

To Democrats, these two are victims, though — worthy of protection from the deportation storm.

The boy, meanwhile?

“Right now, he has a lot of swelling and can’t open either of his eyes so he’s scared about why he can’t see,” his father told KSWB.

What a tragedy — and the fact that Democrats, with all their open borders messaging and pro-sanctuary city policies, would side with the illegals over the innocent boy in terms of legal representation and constitutional protection is just despicable.

Monkeys

1 Comment

Lesson in Psychology or Congressional Logic.

You start with a cage containing four monkeys, and
inside the cage you hang a banana on a string, and
then you place a set of stairs under the banana.

Before long a monkey will go to the stairs and climb
toward the banana.

You then spray ALL the monkeys with cold water.
After a while, another monkey makes an attempt.  As
soon as he touches the stairs, you spray ALL the
monkeys with cold water.

Pretty soon, when another monkey tries to climb the
stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it.

Now, put away the cold water.  Remove one monkey
from the cage and replace it with a new monkey.  The
new monkey sees the banana and attempts to climb the
stairs.  To his shock, ALL of the other monkeys beat
the crap out of him.  After another attempt and
attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the
stairs he will be assaulted.

Next, remove another of the original four monkeys,
replacing it with a new monkey.  The newcomer goes
to the stairs and is attacked.  The previous
newcomer takes part in the punishment – with
enthusiasm – because he is now part of the “team.”

Then, replace a third original monkey with a new
monkey, followed by the fourth.  Every time the
newest monkey takes to the stairs, he is attacked.

Now, the monkeys who are beating him up have no
idea why they were not permitted to climb the
stairs.

Neither do they know why they are participating in
the beating the crap out of the newest monkey. Having replaced all of the original monkeys, none of the remaining  monkeys will have ever been sprayed with cold water.

Nevertheless, not one of the monkeys will try to
climb the stairway for the Banana.

Why, you ask?  Because in their minds, that is the
way it has always been!

This is how today’s House and Senate operates, and
this Is why from time to time, ALL of the monkeys
need to be REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME!

 

 

 

 

DISCLAIMER: This is not meant as any disrespect to
monkeys.

Not Segregation. Really?

4 Comments

Hey Michael, just who is it that you think will believe this act is not one of segregation? You are living in your own Harvard world Mister. So they raised $27,000 in a year to pull this off. If it had been for worthy, justly cause, you surely could have raised five times that amount in an entire year. Unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable! Even this once great educational institution offered me a free ride, I would never take it. Do the Alumni support all that’s going on here. Sad!

I know it may seem as though I am picking on Harvard University with two posts in a row about it, but hey, do they not deserve all the attention they get? I think they do. Shame on them.

Black graduate students at Harvard University will soon be a part of a first-of-its-kind ceremony.

On May 23, the prestigious university will hold an individual ceremony for black graduate students, according to a report by The Root. The ceremony, which took a year to plan, celebrates “fellowship” not “segregation,” Michael Huggins, a graduate student that will receive his master’s of public policy from the Harvard Kennedy School this month, told The Root.

“This is an opportunity to celebrate Harvard’s black excellence and black brilliance,” Michael Huggins told the online publication. “It’s an event where we can see each other and our parents and family can see us as a collective, whole group. A community.”

More than 120 students have registered to partake in the ceremony, which will be held at Holmes Field, near the Harvard law School in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The students raised more than $27,000 to pay for the ceremony and a reception that will follow. The student body hopes to organize a similar ceremony for black undergraduate students at Harvard next year, Huggins said.

The graduate students still plan to participate in the school’s main ceremony later this month. Last year, Harvard was named the No. 2 best college for African-Americans by Essence and MONEY magazines. Well now, that’s an impressive set of magazines — NOT!

“This is not about segregation,” Huggins told The Root. “It’s about fellowship and building a community. This is a chance to reaffirm for each other that we enter the work world with a network of supporters standing with us. We are all partners.”

Our Future Leaders – God Help Us

6 Comments

Folks – – – – this piece needs no words. It’s so sad. John Harvard has to be screaming in his grave. Surely this is not what he envisioned for the future of this once great university that turned out genuine leaders. Now it seems they are working on cream puffs and snow flakes

 

blob:http://video.foxnews.com/3887cd19-2506-452d-9774-f3f999eb3546

This week, Harvard University announced that its libraries will be doing away with their traditional 50 cent-per-day late fee on overdue books.

Our Future Leaders – God Help Us After all, the “private” university does receive billions in tax breaks every year.

No, finances had nothing to do with this policy change, which was first noticed by the vigilant folks over at The Harvard Crimson. The sole reason that this (once?) prestigious university is waiving the charge for overdue books is because this practice is just too stressful for students.

That bears repeating: Harvard University students, whom the school hails as the brightest young scholars our nation has to offer, simply cannot and should not have to deal with the stress of overdue book fees.

“We have witnessed first-hand the stress that overdue fines can cause for students,” Harvard administrator Steven Beardsley explained, even going so far as to declare that “Eliminating standard overdue fines…should help students focus on their scholarship, rather than worrying about renewing library books every 28 days in order to avoid fines.”

While Mr. Beardsley’s heart is certainly in the right place, he and other supporters of this policy are doing a great disservice to these students. College is meant to be stressful because life is stressful. What better place is there than a college campus to learn important life lessons like how to handle stress, and why it’s important to take responsibility for your actions?

If these principles are too intense for college students to handle while they are enshrouded in a safety net that provides for their every necessity, how will they ever cope once they’re on their own? Even though the Left has hijacked our universities to preach the message that life should be free of hurt feelings and hardship, we must remind ourselves this is not the intent of college.

Colleges were created to be a place that prepares young adults to succeed in the real world, but by and large they no longer do that, and if you need proof, just ask Harvard administrators to explain what abolishing library late fees does to form strong, independent young adults.

Actions like this teach students that they can resolve life’s problems not by accepting personal responsibility, but rather by expressing how victimized they feel.

When these students graduate should they expect a world in which they can skip a rent payment or two? After all, why wouldn’t their landlord understand how stressful rent payments can be?

Should students refuse to pay outstanding parking tickets because of how stress inducing the fines can be?

I wish my bank were more like a Harvard administrator. I could simply explain to them that my looming credit card payment was inducing unhealthy amounts of stress, and it would vanish.

It’s not just Harvard, though. Universities around the country have become more concerned with coddling than they are educating, as even a passing familiarity with the Leadership Institute’s CampusReform.org makes abundantly clear. Before taking any action that will impact students, administrators ought to ask themselves a few simple questions: “Does this prepare students for the real world?” and “Will this help students grow in maturity?”

Unfortunately, as evidenced by the actions of most universities, these questions are rarely, if ever, asked.

Perhaps, they’re just … too stressful!

Will it Ever End?

The answer to that title question is an emphatic NO. Our government under the last guy (I refuse to recognize him by using the hallowed word President), was so corrupt. mean-spirited, and anti-American, it ceases to amaze me. Global was their goal, belittle and demean the United States to such a degree where we would simply be part a total world organization on the same plane as every third world country cesspool on the planet. Making us unable to have any say, help any country, or protect ourselves. Shame on them all; how dare they call themselves Americans. President Trump needs to see that some of these scum go to jail.  And this guy Brennan needs to be the first.

Confirmed: John Brennan Colluded With Foreign Spies to Defeat Trump

GEORGE NEUMAYR     April 19, 2017, 12:04 am

An article in the Guardian last week provides more confirmation that John Brennan was the American progenitor of political espionage aimed at defeating Donald Trump. One side did collude with foreign powers to tip the election — Hillary’s.

Seeking to retain his position as CIA director under Hillary, Brennan teamed up with British spies and Estonian spies to cripple Trump’s candidacy. He used their phony intelligence as a pretext for a multi-agency investigation into Trump, which led the FBI to probe a computer server connected to Trump Tower and gave cover to Susan Rice, among other Hillary supporters, to spy on Trump and his people.

John Brennan’s CIA operated like a branch office of the Hillary campaign, leaking out mentions of this bogus investigation to the press in the hopes of inflicting maximum political damage on Trump. An official in the intelligence community tells TAS that Brennan’s retinue of political radicals didn’t even bother to hide their activism, decorating offices with “Hillary for president cups” and other campaign paraphernalia.

A supporter of the American Communist Party at the height of the Cold War, Brennan brought into the CIA a raft of subversives and gave them plum positions from which to gather and leak political espionage on Trump. He bastardized standards so that these left-wing activists could burrow in and take career positions. Under the patina of that phony professionalism, they could then present their politicized judgments as “non-partisan.”

 The Guardian story is written in a style designed to flatter its sources (they are cast as high-minded whistle blowers), but the upshot of it is devastating for them, nonetheless, and explains why all the criminal leaks against Trump first originated in the British press. According to the story, Brennan got his anti-Trump tips primarily from British spies but also Estonian spies and others. The story confirms that the seed of the espionage into Trump was planted by Estonia. The BBC’s Paul Wood reported last year that the intelligence agency of an unnamed Baltic State had tipped Brennan off in April 2016 to a conversation purporting to show that the Kremlin was funneling cash into the Trump campaign.

Any other CIA director would have disregarded such a flaky tip, recognizing that Estonia was eager to see Trump lose (its officials had bought into Hillary’s propaganda that Trump was going to pull out of NATO and leave Baltic countries exposed to Putin). But Brennan opportunistically seized on it, as he later that summer seized on the half-baked intelligence of British spy agencies (also full of officials who wanted to see Trump lose).

The Guardian says that British spy head Robert Hannigan “passed material in summer 2016 to the CIA chief, John Brennan.” To ensure that these flaky tips leaked out, Brennan disseminated them on Capitol Hill. In August and September of 2016, he gave briefings to the “Gang of Eight” about them, which then turned up on the front page of the New York Times.

All of this took place at the very moment Brennan was auditioning for Hillary. He desperately wanted to keep his job and despised Trump for his alleged “Muslim ban,” a matter near and dear to Brennan’s heart. Not only was he an apologist for the Muslim Brotherhood, but Brennan’s Islamophilia dated to his days in college, when he spent a year in Cairo learning Arabic and taking courses in Middle Eastern studies. He later got a graduate degree with an emphasis in Middle Eastern studies. In 1996, his ties to the Islamic world tightened after he became the CIA’s station chief in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. He once recalled that “during a 25-year career in government, I was privileged to serve in positions across the Middle East — as a political officer with the State Department and as a CIA station chief in Saudi Arabia. In Saudi Arabia, I saw how our Saudi partners fulfilled their duty as custodians of the two holy mosques of Mecca and Medina. I marveled at the majesty of the Hajj and the devotion of those who fulfilled their duty as Muslims by making that privilege — that pilgrimage.”

Out of this Islamophilia came a special dislike of Michael Flynn, who had planned to rip up the Obama-era “reset” with Muslim countries. Furious with Flynn for his apostasy from political correctness, Brennan and other Obama aides couldn’t resist the temptation to take him out after rifling through transcripts of his calls with the Russian ambassador. They caught him in a lie to Mike Pence and made sure the press knew about it.

Were the media not so completely in the tank for Obama and Hillary, all of this political mischief would make for a compelling 2016 version of All the President’s Men. Instead, the public gets a steady stream of Orwellian propaganda about the sudden propriety of political espionage. The headline writers at Pravda couldn’t improve on this week’s official lie, tweeted out by the Maggie Habermans: “Susan Rice Did Nothing Wrong, Say Both Dem and Republican House Aides.”

Liberals pompously quote the saying — “the bigger the lie, the more it will be believed” — even as their media enshrine it. Historians will look back on 2016 and marvel at the audacity of its big lie: whispers of an imaginary Trump-Russia collusion that wafted up from the fever swamps of a real collusion between John Brennan and foreign powers seeking Trump’s defeat.
