The convicted thief, Sandy Berger, has become a political adviser to Hillary Clinton… A man that stole classified documents from the National Archives by putting them into his socks, then removing them from the building and destroying them and lying to investigators about it. Hence, his nick-name, Sandy Burglar.
Par for the course for the Clintons.
Welcome aboard Mike, a very good column saying things that until now, have only been said in the Blogosphere.
Some judges stray from real world mores
If it walks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck… it’s a duck!
The hard left of the Democratic party is doing everything they can to silence the free speech rights of those most effective in communicating a message that they disagree with.
The Prowler
Others on the Democrat side are pushing ahead with other plans. Rep. Henry Waxman has asked his investigative staff to begin compiling reports on Limbaugh, and fellow radio hosts Sean Hannity and Mark Levin based on transcripts from their shows, and to call in Federal Communications Commission chairman Kevin Martin to discuss the so-called “Fairness Doctrine.”“Limbaugh isn’t the only one who needs to be made uncomfortable about what he says on the radio,” says a House leadership source. “We don’t have as big a megaphone as these guys, but this all political, and we’ll do what we can to gain the advantage. If we can take them off their game for a while, it will help our folks out there on the campaign trail.”
The hard left of the party are still trying to pin comments on Rush Limbaugh that he did not make. Rush has released the full audio of his “Phony Soldiers” comments. Rush was talking about Jesse Macbeth, a man that is jail for falsely claiming he was a Special Forces solder in Iraq and seen atrocities committed by our troops. The fact is, Jesse Macbeth was never in Iraq, in fact, he washed out of basic training just a few weeks in… Jesse Macbeth and others like him, that have been held up as heroes by the Left because they oppose the war, but have never served, are indeed Phony Soldiers.
The far Left is trying to convince people (and themselves) that Rush labeled any soldier that opposes the war as phony soldiers, but that is a demonstrable lie. The truth doesn’t matter to them, only their insatiable grab for power matters to them. What is next? A Nixonian use of the IRS to destroy their enemies?
Limbaugh has coined the term Neo-Stalinist’s. If the shoe… or Jackboot fits…
Local police departments are being lobbied by a Latino activist group to stop asking about immigration status, and some, including MPD are going along with it! What kind of insanity do we have here in Milwaukee?
Police urged not to check legal status
Activists want immigration standing off-limits in stops; some chiefs agreeChristine Neumann-Ortiz had heard enough stories about immigrants facing deportation after traffic stops or random encounters with police, so the immigrant rights leader went right to the source of concern.
Neumann-Ortiz is asking local police departments for new policies to prevent officers from questioning people about their immigration status during unrelated investigations.
Some departments are going along.
A policy Milwaukee police officials adopted recently prohibits officers from asking immigration questions or alerting federal authorities to suspected illegal immigrants, with some exceptions.
Neumann-Ortiz’s group, Voces de la Frontera, is asking other departments to follow suit, suggesting that enforcing federal immigration rules not only distracts police from investigating local crime but also drives a wedge between law enforcement and minorities.
“It creates kind of a poisonous culture,” she said.
I want to know why Voces de la Frontera and Christine Neumann-Ortiz are able to keep their 501(c)(3) status when all they do is lobby on behalf of people who are by definition, criminals?
The following comes from the IRS code governing 501(c)(3) groups.
In general, no organization may qualify for section 501(c)(3) status if a substantial part of its activities is attempting to influence legislation (commonly known as lobbying). A 501(c)(3) organization may engage in some lobbying, but too much lobbying activity risks loss of tax-exempt status.
Legislation includes action by Congress, any state legislature, any local council, or similar governing body, with respect to acts, bills, resolutions, or similar items (such as legislative confirmation of appointive office), or by the public in referendum, ballot initiative, constitutional amendment, or similar procedure. It does not include actions by executive, judicial, or administrative bodies.
An organization will be regarded as attempting to influence legislation if it contacts, or urges the public to contact, members or employees of a legislative body for the purpose of proposing, supporting, or opposing legislation, or if the organization advocates the adoption or rejection of legislation.
UPDATE: MPD policy went into effect a month before Kenosha Deputy was murdered by illegal and an MPD officer was arrested for being an illegal alien
We learned that this policy of not checking on the immigration status of suspects took effect in April of 2007. Interestingly, a police officer working under the alias Jose A. Morales was arrested after being found to actually being an illegal alien that took the identity of a dead cousin.
May 30, 2007: Officer arrested; citizenship questioned
Even scarier is also in May, just weeks after the Milwaukee Police Department policy change, a Kenosha Deputy was murdered by an illegal alien with a lengthy criminal record!
Deputy Murder Suspect Has Long Criminal History
KENOSHA - The man now charged with killing Kenosha County Sheriff’s Deputy Frank Fabiano is an illegal immigrant with a long criminal record.Despite a rap sheet going back six years, Ezeiquiel Lopez was never deported. Only after he was charged with killing Fabiano did anyone try to have him kicked out of this country.
Lopez, 44, is accused of murdering the 17-year sheriff’s department veteran while high on cocaine. Lopez’s history with the law dates back to 2001, when he was arrested in Utah for lewd and lascivious conduct.
In 2003, he was arrested in Texas on a gun charge.
In 2003, Lopez was picked up in Missouri for driving drunk.
In 2004, Kenosha police arrested him on charges of domestic battery, disorderly conduct and bail jumping.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has run with the story even though law enforcement still has confirmed nothing.
6 friends killed at party in Crandon
Nothing seemed out of the ordinary Saturday night when Tyler Peterson met up with a bunch of friends in a parking lot behind a Crandon bank.They talked about hunting, what to do later that night. Typical stuff. That was it. It was 8:30 p.m.
But before the sun would rise, Peterson, a 20-year-old, off-duty Forest County sheriff’s deputy and part-time City of Crandon police officer, would be suspected of storming into his ex-girlfriend’s house and killing her and five other young people at a party, including two of his best childhood buddies.
Another teen was critically wounded.
Peterson would later end up dead, shot by the Crandon SWAT team.
The story goes on to name the victim and their shooter
The party at the home of the ex-girlfriend of the shooter was one of these strange post Homecoming co-ed sleep-overs that parents think are normal. But it seems that the only one victim was still in school, a 14 year old girl, everyone else was 18 to 20 years old… But this is a topic for another time.
This is the Milwaukee Police Department’s policy on immigration enforcement as reported in today’s Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. I’m wondering if these policy restrictions also apply to Police Department applicant background investigators?
