The Felon in the White House

The gained his position through the commission of a felony. The evidence emphatically does not involve postings from “somebody’s blog,” or urban legends about Obama being a Muslim and/or having been born in Kenya. The evidence comes from Obama’s own YouTube video, Web site, and campaign E-mails.

Lotteries for Political Campaigns are Illegal

It is a basic principle of auditing that issuance of a finding or nonconformance requires (1) objective evidence that (2) is noncompliant with the requirements of a standard. The auditor’s personal opinion, rumors, and “common knowledge” do not count. As stated by Orson Welles as General Bayan in The Black Rose, “What I can’t touch doesn’t exist,” and that is a good way to describe what is and is not objective evidence. A criminal conviction requires similarly (1) objective evidence that (2) violates a specific law. Let’s start with the law as described by the Federal Communication Commission (FCC).

The FCC has defined a lottery as “any game, contest or promotion that combines the elements of prize, chance and consideration.” Federal law generally prohibits the broadcast of any advertisement or information concerning a lottery.

Texas adds, “Texas law allows only certain charitable and nonprofit organizations to conduct raffles to support their charitable causes. An unlawful raffle may constitute illegal gambling, which may carry criminal penalties.” The Center for Competitive Politics is just as explicit:

It is legally impossible to conduct a nationwide raffle, whether the funds are being used for political purposes or not. This, of course, is of great importance, because running an interstate gambling operation that does not comply with the laws in each state in which it is being conducted subjects you to both criminal and civil penalties under the Federal RICO statute.

Now we have a clear standard against which we can compare Mr. Obama’s fundraising practices. The next time he talks about people he thinks shouldn’t be able to own guns, for example, our side should remind him (publicly) that, had prosecutors and law enforcement agencies not given him an obvious pass in 2008, he would be a prohibited person along with other enemies of the Second Amendment such as convicted felon Rod Blagojevich.

Obama’s desire to close down GITMO may be about his nefarious alliances.

Looking past the distraction of releasing terrorists from Guantanamo, there seems to be another reason for Obama wanting to close it down.

The Guantanamo Naval Station is an important asset connected to the defense of the United States and helps America keep an eye on the communist government of Cuba which aligned itself with Russia during the 1960s which then imported nuclear weapons into Cuba.

Those who do not recall the Cuban Missile Crisis of the 1960s need to read: The Cuban Missile Crisis and Threat of Nuclear War

The Guantanamo Naval Station is a strategic outpost on a landmass ninety miles from our shores. What ought to be discussed is, what does Obama intend to do with this asset if he succeeds in releasing the terrorists which are now housed there.

Considering Obama’s love affair with the terrorist government of Iran, and his various policies which have emboldened our enemies and weaken the United States, and his latest love affair with the communist government of Cuba, should he not be asked what he proposes to do with America’s naval station in Cuba if he succeeds in releasing the remaining terrorist combatants who are held there?

When will the America People realize we have an Islamic cell operating out of our nation’s White House? Will they come to this conclusion when Islamic terrorist activities begin in our southern Border States or cities like New York City?

Cromnibus Brings in At Least 170,000 Migrants From Muslim Countries in 12 Months

 

Independent Sentinel

Why are politicians arguing over 10,000 Syrians coming into the country when the new cromnibus will allow at least 170,000 migrants in from Muslim countries? The numbers will undoubtedly be higher. They have been over the last several years.

The senate voted to approve the cromnibus bill and Senator Sessions said this is the reason GOP voters are in open rebellion. Sessions is Chairman of the Subcommittee on Immigration, Border Security, and Refugees.

Senator Sessions took to the Senate floor on Wednesday to warn of the repercussions from the cromnibus bill when it comes to immigration, illegal and otherwise.

“There is a reason that GOP voters are in open rebellion,” Sessions said. “They have come to believe that their party’s elites are not only uninterested in defending their interests but – as with this legislation, and fast-tracking the President’s international trade pact – openly hostile to them. This legislation represents a further disenfranchisement of the American voter.”

The bill, Sessions said, allows the president to bring as many refugees as he wants and he can bring them in from anywhere he wants, giving them access to unlimited entitlements at taxpayer expense. At least 170,000 green cards will be issued to refugees, asylees, migrants from Muslim countries over the next 12 months.

It quadruples foreign workers available to employers under the H-2B visa program. H-2B workers are supposed to fill positions workers won’t do seasonally but they are taking American’s jobs.

The bill won’t defund Sanctuary Cities. Illegal aliens will continue to get tax credits. They don’t have a social security number, they have children somewhere around the world, they don’t pay taxes but they get a child tax credit for children not even in the country. Language to stop this was not kept in the bill. Those credits were made permanent.

Americans are being terminated, they are made to train the new foreign workers who then take their place. Amendments to stop this were rejected, but industries asking for more foreign workers had their requests met.

Executive amnesty continues as does funding to countries who won’t take their illegal aliens back.
