The Invasion Has Started. Central American Kids Coming Here Daily. Are You Prepared To Resist This Invasion?
If there ever will be something that finally motivates Americans to take action against this runaway government it will be the silent, Obama-encouraged invasion of America by children from Central America. Citizens of this country, while overly generous during times of need, should feel as if these kids are being dropped on their doorstep and Americans are expected to take care of them.
The only explanation for this flood of children is that they have been encouraged by a) this administration's lax enforcement of the border and/or b) actual advertising or by activists in these countries encouraging parents to put their children on buses destined to the US.
If one child reaches and settles in this country, we suspect that the plan is that he can then petition the US government to allow his parents, siblings, aunts, uncles and cousins to join him./her here. (Hey, we don't want to separate families!) In this way one child might be able to bring 10-200 others into this country. Do the math. If each child only brought ten (which is probably low), and we already are approaching 50,000 children this year, that is another half million new immigrants. How soon will it be that this "child invasion" will bring 20-30 million new immigrants?
We suspect that all of these "anchor" children and most of those who are "invited" to rejoin them here, will come without few assets and little in the way of education or skills. In other words, they will become wards of the state taking valuable assets away from the rest of society to provide them with welfare, housing, food stamps (EBT cards), transportation, health care, education and the like.
Additionally, as we saw in previous posts today, even states like Virginia (which is not near the Southern border) are having children dropped in their laps. The story that has been fed to and regurgitated by the lap dog media is that they are being housed on military bases in the Southwest. Obviously, that is another Obama Administration lie as Lawrenceville, Virginia clearly exhibits.
Also, press reports by non-mainstream sources indicate that many of these illegals have communicable disease which have been eradicated in the US and which now will gain a foothold here. Is that what you want?
So we have potentially millions of uneducated, impoverished Central American peasants being brought to this country by who knows, for what purpose we can only suspect, and we are expected to jump and say "welcome?" We don't think so.
It is time to a) close all borders to ALL Central Americans b) deport to Mexico anyone (central american, Hungarian, Middle Easterner) who did not come to this country legally regardless of age and c) tell Mexico that these immigrants are their problem and they should fix it. Our neighbor to the south is part of the problem as they let these people transit their country, it time they take responsibility.
The sad part is that the Obama Administration is the one encouraging the "invasion." They will not act against their plan. They want America to implode and bringing millions of illegals here only expedites the time when our country falls.
Are you going to do nothing? Or are you going to take action? Here is what we suggest.
First, we need to know where these illegals are being held. We cannot depend on the news media or the government to tell us the truth so we need citizen soldiers to report where they find these invaders. Once your find them, organize protests locally.
Next, bring pressure on local officials to move them out of the area. Individual citizens have more power when dealing locally. Take these people to task and demand the illegals be moved out of your town.
If local pressure does not work, your last resort we will be to peacefully cut off re-supply of the bases, universities, warehouses and other locations where the illegals are being housed. If you make it impossible to bring food and supplies, the government will either move them or take actions against those who impose the blockade. If you act peacefully as they did at the Bundy Ranch in Nevada, their extreme measures (which we are sure they will try sooner or later) will drag the news media to the scene where you can make your points and cast the Administration is the negative view that it needs to be.
Peaceful resistance is the key. The government does not know how to react to peace, they only know force and believe us when we say, they will use it.
Or we could do nothing, continue watching "Dancing With The Stars" or " Bachelorette" or your favorites football team while the country is invaded by the poor, illiterate and unhealthy of the world. It is your choice. Ours is to go out and find the locations of the immigrants in our area. Are you with us?

Income Inequality Caused By Government Spending And Regulation
Obama’s Latest Lie Makes Him a True Demagogue
As a worsening jobs picture appeared last week, Barack Obama sought to hit the reset button.
His strategy? Lie. (Surprise, surprise.)
You’re probably familiar with the little lies that the president has spewed in the past:
“If you like your plan, you can keep it.”
“You can keep your doctor, period.”
“The Affordable Care Act will reduce the deficit and save money for the economy.”
“The Benghazi attack was a result of an anti-Muslim video.”
“Al Qaeda has been decimated.”
“Republicans don’t care about people.”
But this time, it’s different.
Instead of a little lie, the president jumped right to a demagogue-level fabrication. (I guess Obama has become more comfortable in office during his second term.)
The lie was captured during a speech on income inequality…
“We’ve also seen how government action, time and again, can make an enormous difference in increasing opportunity and bolstering ladders into the middle class. Investments in education, laws establishing collective bargaining and a minimum wage – these all contributed to rising standards of living for massive numbers of Americans.”
But the problem is that this isn’t true.
The Lies Never End
More welfare, more federal regulations, more government intervention, more socialism… All of it has resulted in growing, not lessening, income inequality.
In fact, Obama’s central argument is so weak that the facts in his own speech show him to be dead wrong.
Obama said, “I’ll just give you a few statistics. Since 1979, when I graduated from high school, our productivity is up by more than 90%, but the income of the typical family has increased by less than 8%. Since 1979, our economy has more than doubled in size, but most of that growth has flowed to a fortunate few.”
But what the president doesn’t explain is that during the 1970s, the role of government in the economy was vastly expanded. In fact, the ’70s were the high-water mark of socialism until Obama’s own administration.
And ever since the passage of gigantic, welfare-state spending, income inequality has dramatically increased.
The reason is simple. People are poorer when they are young, and they’re richer as they get older. But most of the government’s income redistribution has taken from the young (the poor) and given to the older (the richer).
Only a seasoned demagogue could say otherwise, as the argument has no basis in fact or reality.
A more honest argument would say that as government spending has increased, income inequality has increased. As the public sector has robbed the private sector of vital capital needed to grow and expand private opportunity, wages have stagnated and income equality has become a growing problem.
Consider that government spending at the turn of the 20th century was less than 7% of GDP. In the 1930s, spending more than doubled (as part of Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal) to 20% of GDP. And in the ’60s and ’70s, spending grew further as part of Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society social programs. In fact, it increased to about 36% of GDP.
In the ’90s and 2000s, government spending stayed in the range of 33% to 35% of GDP until Obama was elected. Today, spending has rocketed up to 40% of GDP.
Meanwhile, income inequality has steadily worsened. Therefore, giving the government more money (and more power) isn’t the answer. As it turns out, the fight for income equality is really a fight for freedom from the government.Se

Another Lie--ObamaCrapCare Will INCREASE Visits To ER Rather Than Lessening Them According To Harvard Study.i
Harvard Study: Obamacare Drives up ER Visits
Friday, 03 Jan 2014 11:50 AM
The millions of people who have just been enrolled in Medicaid will go to ERs on a regular basis instead of their local doctors, according to the research.
Obama had said that his signature healthcare reform law would help cut back on government spending by reducing trips to the ER, the Daily Caller reports.
The study, published in the journal Science and released on Thursday, shows that the nearly 4 million new patients subsidized by government under the expansion of Medicaid are more likely to end up seeking treatment in emergency rooms for non-emergency health problems than before they entered the program.
Harvard conducted the study in Oregon in 2008 after that state expanded its Medicaid program. It found that newly-insured Medicaid patients went to the ER 40 percent more than the uninsured.
The findings are the polar opposite of government calculations that these millions of new patients would pick lower-cost options for their healthcare, by going to their primary care physicians.
The study came during Oregon's Medicaid expansion six years ago when the state, with limited funds available, staged a lottery to decide who would get coverage. The researchers compared the trips to ER by those who won the Medicaid lottery and those who were not so lucky and remained uninsured.
The results showed that 25,000 Medicaid patients went to the emergency departments at Portland area hospitals 1.43 times over 18 months while those who were not insured only made 1.02 trips to the ER in the same time frame.
Obama had said the Medicaid expansion would reduce the number of visits to ERs for ailments that could be better treated, and at lower cost to the government, by primary care doctors. But the Harvard research found that Medicaid patients showed up in droves at emergency departments for minor ailments such as colds and flu.
The study found that Medicaid patients who went to the emergency room weren't admitted to hospitals any more frequently than uninsured people.
Calling it "the gold standard" for research on the effects of Medicaid coverage, James Smith, a Rand Corp. economist, said the study showed that Medicaid expansion results in "emergency department use and increases costs." He added, "That doesn't mean it isn't a good thing to do, but that's what it does."
Last year Obama justified his Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act by noting the potential savings from fewer hospital ER visits by the poor, which he says are more expensive than trips to the local GP.
"We just pay for the most expensive version, which is when they go to the emergency room because what happens is the hospitals have to take sick folk," Obama said. "They're not just going to leave them on the streets."
But the Daily Caller points out that Oregon will be forking over even more cash to pay for ER visits, which likely could mean the same problem will happen to every other state in the country that has expanded Medicaid.
Katherine Baicker, an economist at the Harvard School of Public Health, said the study, which she helped to write, concluded that people who gained Medicaid coverage used ERs more often for "a broad range of types of visits, conditions and subgroups," including problems that could be treated in less costly settings.
"That leaves policymakers with the difficult evaluation of comparing the substantial real costs of the program, with the substantial benefits to enrollees of having the coverage,"she told Bloomberg.
Although Obama has claimed that his healthcare law would help to lower deficits, the Harvard study will put a big dent in his theory.
"Because we’re driving down costs, we actually end up saving a little money," Obama said last year at a Clinton Global Initiative event. "It is a net reduction of our deficit. The irony of those who are talking about repealing Obamacare because of, it’s so wildly expensive is if they actually repealed the law, it would add to the deficit."
More than 19 million people nationwide are projected to join Medicaid this year, a 35 percent jump from last year as Obamcare widens the number of people eligible for the program. The increase is projected by the Obama administration to boost the program's cost by 18 percent this year and almost double it to $957 billion by 2021.
According to the Daily Caller, 25 states and Washington D.C. will expand Medicaid while nine have rejected the program.

Who Would Even Consider Listening To Obama After The Experience With ObamaCrapCare. Apparently Some Sitll Do In Education!
COMMON CORE: THE OBAMACARE OF EDUCATION
States are rethinking this train wreck.
UPI
Send to Kindle
At least a dozen states are now delaying or rethinking their implementation of the new Common Core educational standards, as opposition from parents and teachers grows. No wonder: Initially, teachers thought Common Core was just another educational fad destined to soon be replaced by the next new idea. But they've found instead that Common Core is an educational track that parallels the Obamacare: both are designed to “fundamentally transform” America, both were conjured up out of audacious incompetence, both are products of ideological thinking rather than experience and common sense, and both are guaranteed to produce disastrous consequences.
Like Obamacare, Common Core was forced onto the public as a naked federal government takeover. Common Core usurps state and local governments, based on the dubious idea that the local rubes can’t be trusted to understand and meet the needs of their own children. Common Core was developed without state legislative involvement or authority, without involvement of curriculum or content specialists, and it was never voted on by anybody. Instead, it began with progressive educational insiders in Washington, D.C., was developed by Achieve, Inc., a group of progressive education reformers, shaped by commercial vendor NCS Pearson, Inc., and funded primarily by Bill and Melinda Gates through numerous foundations, organizations, and coalitions. At the last minute, two D.C.-based trade associations, the National Governors Association and the Council of State School Officers, were brought in to give the appearance of local and state involvement. Common Core has been implemented primarily through billions in federal “bribes,” because states had to accede to it in order to receive “Race to the Top” grants or waivers for “No Child Left Behind.”
This federal takeover of education is yet another instance of Washington elites expanding the scope, size, and reach of the federal government and its bloated, wasteful, imperious, and very often incompetent bureaucracy. So what that three federal laws prohibit the federal government from setting the education curriculum of the various states? So what that any reasonable common sense reading of the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights leads to the conclusion that the power to set education standards is reserved to the states? So what if they ignore their oath to uphold the Constitution? Yet, Common Core cannot be changed by state legislatures or state school boards, nor can taxpayers or parents have a voice in the local schools under Common Core; instead, these “standards” were forced onto local schools before any details were known (remember “we have to pass the bill to know what is in the bill”?) and without state legislative approval or public hearings.
Some experts on the validation committee ultimately refused to sign off on the English and Math standards — one gave the English standards a “D” grade and another called the Math standards a “joke.” Critics say both English and Math Common Core Standards teach “empty skill sets” and claim they require only about a 7th grade level education for high school graduation. Others report that students won’t learn the necessary literary and cultural foundations for authentic education or for success in college. Instead, some experts say that the goal is to produce “workers,” not “educated, thinking citizens.” The “lessons” in Common Core peddle propaganda, even in grammar exercises and math problems. Parents are reporting disinformation, distortion, and disparagement of American capitalism, exceptionalism, and opportunity. In short, Common Core appears to be as much about indoctrination as it is about educating our youth and providing them the skills needed for both informed citizenship and productive careers. “Informational texts” (actually leftist political essays or comics) replace “creative or classic literature.”
As we learn more about Common Core, we find it’s very intrusive: high-tech data tracking will make private personal data available to any “researcher” who claims to have an “audit or evaluation” goal. Massive databases, containing as many as 400 data points about each student, will track children’s individual and family information from preschool through career.
The cost of this fundamental transformation of American education is exorbitant, $16 billlion, with numerous open-ended, unfunded mandates for things like professional development, testing, and new, high-tech instructional materials. This will, of course, be paid by state and local districts, with costs dwarfing any “Race to the Top” grants that were awarded for adopting the Common Core standards. And, naturally, these estimates won’t begin to touch the actual costs when all — slush funds for politically-favored vendors, paybacks, fraud — is said and done.
Already, 45 states, D.C., and four U.S. territories have built educational curricula based on Common Core. But, as reality is coming to light, some states are withdrawing, and others are refusing to participate. More and more teachers are speaking out about the unrealistic and unfinished nature of Common Core; national education commentators are weighing in on the classroom havoc around the country. Meanwhile, the federal government is aggressively pushing to add Common Core standards for science and social studies.
Secretary of Education Arne Duncan dismisses criticism of Common Core, complaining that “white suburban moms” oppose new standards because they want to continue believing that their underperforming children are brilliant — injecting the same race and class conflict that is being used so mendaciously to try to squelch criticism of Obamacare.
Sadly, the train wreck that Common Core is generating in our education system, like Obamacare in the nation’s health care system, amounts to severe and lasting damage that will take years to reverse.

The Obama Lies Start With His Book. No One Ever Challenged Him. No Wonder He Lies All The Time!
WND EXCLUSIVE
OBAMA BROTHER DISPUTES 'DREAMS' AUTOBIOGRAPHY
Half-sibling vows to set record straight in new book

Mark Ndesandjo
Yet another Barack Obama relative has surfaced to cause the president grief over the credibility of the story he recounted in his autobiography, “Dreams from My Father,” a bestseller that helped propel him to the presidency in 2008.
WND reported Dec. 5 that the White House reversed its previous denial that Obama had met his Kenyan-born uncle, Omar Onyango Obama, an illegal immigrant to the U.S. who appeared recently in court after facing deportation for about 40 years.
Now, Obama’s Kenyan half-brother by his father’s third wife has surfaced with the coming publication of an autobiographical book claiming the president has misrepresented his past.
In an Associated Press interview this week from his home in China, Mark Obama Ndesandjo, 48, has stirred controversy two months before the self-publication on Feb. 28, 2014, of his book “Cultures: My Odyssey of Self-Discovery.”
The AP asked Ndesandjo to describe his relationship with his famous half-brother.
“Right now it’s cold and I think that part of the reason is based on my writing,” Ndesandjo said. “My writing has alienated some people in my family.
Even though, as the AP pointed out, Ndesandjo felt his relationship with his half-brother in the White House was distant, he said he hoped “that my brother and I can really hug each other after he’s president and we can be a family again.”
Like Barack Obama, Ndesandjo is half-white, born to a white Jewish woman the Kenyan met in Massachusetts while studying at Harvard. Barack Obama is the son of the Kenyan and his second wife, Stanley Ann Dunham, a white student he met while studying at the University of Hawaii.
The AP reported Ndesandjo’s conflict with his half-brother traced back to their first encounter, in 1988, when Barack Obama was in Kenya tracing his family roots.
“Barack thought I was too white, and I thought he was too black,” Ndesandjo said, recalling the two did not see eye-to-eye from the time they first met.
Ndesandjo said racial tensions, in particular, seemed to separate the two.
“He was an American searching for his African roots. I was a Kenyan,” Ndesandjo said. “I’m an American, but I was living in Kenya, searching for my white roots.”
Ndesandjo said there were a number of factual errors in “Dreams from My Father,” especially regarding quotes attributed to Ndesandjo’s mother.
Ndesandjo said he hopes to set the record straight in his 500-page book.
“It’s a correction. A lot of the stuff that Barack wrote is wrong in that book, and I can understand that, because to me for him the book was a tool for fashioning an identity, and he was using composites,” Ndesandjo told the AP. “I wanted to bring it up because first of all I wanted the record to be straight. I wanted to tell my own story, not let people tell it for me.”
The Telegraph in London reported in 2009 that in an earlier semi-autobiographical novel, “Nairobi to Shenzhen,” Ndesandjo wrote that his father was abusive to him and to his mother.
“My father beat me. He beat my mother. You just do not do that. I remember in my house, I would hear the screams. I would hear my mum’s pain. As a child, I could not protect her,” Ndesandjo told the Telegraph, breaking into tears.
“I could not remember any good things about my father. My skin had turned hard emotionally for so many years.”
The Telegraph reported in 2009 that Obama “refers to Ndesandjo simply as ‘my brother’ and says he was the only uncontested heir after their Kenyan father died in a car crash in 1982.”
The statement appears to be a reference to “Dreams,” where Obama writes: “Unlike my mum, Ruth has all the documents needed to prove who Mark’s father was.”
Obama, however, has published a copy of a purported Hawaiian birth certificate on the White House website that indicates Barack Obama Sr. was his father. A short-form version that circulated online at the time the Telegraph article was published also listed Obama Sr. as the father.
The Chinese Speakers Bureau, where Ndesandjo is registered, says that in his upcoming book, Ndesandjo “gives a thoughtful overview of his early life, and corrects the image and facts U.S. president Barack Obama has published earlier.”
In a brief bio published on the Chinese Speakers Bureau site, Ndesandjo is listed as “an American” who is a nine-year resident of Shenzhen, China.
Largely educated in the U.S., Ndesandjo holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in physics from Brown University and a Masters degree from Stanford, as well as an Emory MBA.
“He consults worldwide, using over 15 years of international marketing and branding experience gained as a senior manager at ATT, Lucent, Nortel and other companies,” the Chinese Speakers Bureau notes. “He is an HSK L7 (advanced) Mandarin speaker and writer, and an avid brush calligrapher.”
On a website created for the publication of Ndesandjo’s forthcoming book, he discusses his work giving piano lessons to orphans in and around Shenzhen.
Ndesandjo also has issued three CDs of his piano music.
He has created the Mark Obama Foundation Ltd. with the goal of fostering cultural exchanges between Asia, Africa and the U.S., with an emphasis on helping young people appreciate art.
In the complicated Obama family history, Ndesandjo was the eldest of two sons born in Kenya to Barack Obama’s father and Ruth Beatrice Baker of Massachusetts, a 1958 graduate of Simmons College in Boston with a degree in business.
Ruth Baker, who is commonly named as “Ruth Nidesand” in most Obama biographical accounts, met Barack Obama Sr. when he attended Harvard University after attending the University of Hawaii. She followed Barack Obama Sr. back to Africa. The two were married in Kenya in a civil ceremony Dec. 24, 1964.
After Baker divorced Barack Obama Sr., she and her two sons took on the surname of their stepfather, Ndesandjo.
WND columnist Jack Cashill, in his 2011 book “Deconstructing Obama: The Life, Loves, and Letters of America’s First Postmodern President,” and in a series of WND articles, has argued not only that much of Barack Obama’s autobiography is fictional but also that it was written by Weather Underground radical Bill Ayers.
