Here it comes. Look for John McCain, Lindsay Graham, and the open-borders Republicans to hop on board the Obama Amnesty Bandwagon. God save us from bipartisanship. Via the NYT:
The Obama administration will insist on measures to give legal status to an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants as it pushes early next year for legislation to [...]

Judgment.

“It will help us hold meetings”

California authorities believe the wildfires ravaging southern California may have been caused by arson, not global warming.
In other words, it looks to be what Janet Napolitano calls a “man-made disaster.”
Not that fear-mongerers like Democrat Rep. Linda Sanchez will care.
She’s never let past arson-related blazes stand in the way of a good eco-apocalypse claim.

Props to the Associated Press for stepping outside its traditional role as Obama water-carriers and shedding light on the none-too-surprising politicization of border security funding under DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano.
She’s in a state of denial.
The White House is desperately undermining transparency.
And maybe it’s finally dawning on the media stenographers that the Era of [...]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Big Nanny Democrats want to ration health care for everyone in America – except those who break our immigration laws.
The latest cry for help comes from Nevada’s University Medical Center, via the Las Vegas Review Journal:
“Our people are really torn,” said Brian Brannman, UMC’s chief operating [...]

Robert Rosas, U.S. Border Patrol, R.I.P.

*Late-term abortion doctor George Tiller was gunned down at his church in Kansas Sunday morning in a thoroughly evil, cold-blooded act of domestic terrorism. Yes, terrorism. Not “extremism.” Interesting how the t-word has been rediscovered.
*Every mainstream pro-life organization has unequivocally condemned the killing.
I repeat: Every mainstream pro-life organization has unequivocally condemned the killing. [...]

President Obama tells us this Memorial Day weekend that veterans have not gotten the respect they deserve:
President Barack Obama saluted veterans and urged his countrymen to do the same this Memorial Day weekend, saying the nation has not always paid them proper respect.
In his weekly radio and Internet address Saturday, Obama said people can honor [...]

Okay, the part about Janet Napolitano being in the running for Supreme Court justice is a stomach-turner. It’s the part at the end that is the snort-inducer of the day so far:
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano was studiously evasive Sunday about whether she coveted an appointment to the Supreme Court, as Republicans and Democrats sparred [...]

Shooting down “misleading” labels

(Photoshop credit: Nice Deb)
My syndicated column commemorates Barack Obama’s 100 days with the Scare Force One story as a take-off point. Imagine if this fiasco had happened under George Bush’s watch. It would have made the Left’s incessant carping over the “fake plastic turkey,” Mission Accomplished banner, and My Pet Goat incidents look like [...]

Well, DHS isn’t going to be issuing alerts about it any time soon. But it’s here: the resurgence of left-wing extremism.
Data point – MoveOn.org wailing about torture and indulging in Cheney Derangement Syndrome:

Data point – Hillary cackles at serious questions about the effectiveness of enhanced interrogation.
Data point – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ups pressure for [...]

Gaffestastic Janet Napolitano is at it again — this time earning the partially justified derision of Canadians after suggesting that 9/11 terrorists entered the U.S. through the northern border:
The furor began when Napolitano was asked to clarify statements she had made about equal treatment for the Mexican and Canadian borders, despite the fact that a [...]

She said this on CNN over the weekend:
KING: A lot of Democrats in Congress want to you investigate [Joe Arpaio]. They think he is over the line. He says he is just enforcing the law and the problem is the federal government.
NAPOLITANO: Well, you know, Sheriff Joe, he is being very political in that statement, [...]

Here’s a homeland security threat that doesn’t fit the rightwing extremist profile. Paging Janet Napolitano. Oh, never mind:
The Weld County sheriff’s office is looking for whoever sent it a letter threatening to put bombs around Greeley next week unless illegal immigrants are released from jail.
The sheriff’s office says the letter was handwritten in Spanish, and [...]

Senators Coburn, Brownback, DeMint, Burr, Murkowski, Inhofe, and Vitter sent the following letter to DHS Secretary Napolitano yesterday concerning the DHS conservative hit job:

The Honorable Janet Napolitano
Secretary
The Department of Homeland Security
310 7th street, S.W.
Washington, DC 20528-0150
VIA FASCMILLE
Dear Secretary Napolitano,
We write today concerning the release of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) report titled [...]

Ed Morrissey nails the buck-passers on the DHS rightwing extremism assessment:
First, while the Bush administration might have wanted an assessment of right-wing extremist threats, it didn’t necessarily want one that painted returning veterans and conservative thought on abortion, illegal immigration, and federalism as extremist threats, nor did it want a threat assessment that couldn’t find [...]

Janet Napolitano made the media rounds this morning to face the public firestorm over DHS’s hit job on conservatives.
I’m calling it the Extremist Makeover tour.
She offered an apology to veterans, saying it wasn’t her intention to offend. It may not have been the intention of the report authors or Napolitano to offend or overreach, but [...]

…if you are heading out to a Tea Party today!
Here’s my syndicated column on the DHS hit job. A few may be inclined to give DHS the benefit of the doubt. Andrew McCarthy reminds you of the many reasons why you should not.

I’m not sure why Drudge is hyping the New York Times’ stenography piece on Obama’s plans to carry through on his promise to pitch a shamnesty bill. It’s not news. It’s a White House-planted distraction sourced mainly to La Raza/The Race lobbyist-turned-White House open borders czar Cecilia Munoz.
I pointed a few weeks ago to Obama’s [...]

Ahoy.

Yes, they are.

Oh, the open-borders crowd’s heads are exploding.
Under President Obama and DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano’s watch, federal immigration agents had the nerve to — gasp! — enforce immigration laws.
How could this happen? Quick, launch an investigation! This must not be allowed to stand!
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano on Wednesday ordered a review of a raid at [...]

Same old, same old.

Familiarity breeds…

Enforcement starts at home.

Update: La Shawn Barber writes in today’s Washington Examiner–“Now that amnesty is dead, locals must act against employers.”

Take that, John McCain:
Beginning in January, employers in Arizona could face having their business licenses suspended or revoked if they get caught hiring illegal immigrants.
A new law signed Monday by Gov. Janet Napolitano created the state crime of [...]

Nope, I’m not talking about Joe Lieberman.
It’s Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano:
Democratic Gov. Janet Napolitano’s recent statements supporting military operations in Iraq and saying she has no plans to call for a troop withdrawal are drawing criticism from her own party who’ve lost patience with the war.
Napolitano made her first visit to Iraq this month at [...]
