On this issue, France is clearly an enabler...
In the U.K. Daily Mail, Leo McKinstry writes about it:
"David Cameron said there was 'no point trying to point fingers of blame'
As they are on French soil, authorities there should deal with immigrants.
By helping set up camp, French have created welcoming 'departure lounge'
French charities have also helped migrants with food, clothing and tents"
"Panic in Pittsburgh: Media Struggling to Ignore Black Mob Violence"
At American Thinker, Colin Flaherty begins with:
"Black people in Pittsburgh were feeling poorly about crime: Too many of them were in the news accused of killing, robbing, assaulting, jacking, shooting, stealing, rioting, breaking, burgling, harassing, intimidating, threatening, fighting, throwing, running, stoning, smoking, drinking, escaping, drugging, firing, and destroying.
So in 2011, black leaders got together to do something about it: Not stop the crime. Just stop reporters from letting us know about it."

Kirsten Powers: Crush Planned Parenthood
Well, it's my opinion that we are off the rails in many aspects of current life.
Unfortunately, there's seems to be a new one almost every day...
Unfortunately, there's seems to be a new one almost every day...
Kirsten Powers discusses Planned Parenthood and some others, and gives her opinion at USAtoday.com:
"Mississippi abortion doctor Willie Parker — who was lauded by Esquire for his 'abortion ministry' — ran with the trope that direct quotes from a Planned Parenthood doctor constitute a vicious attack, but went a step further: He compared Nucatola to Jesus. 'It's no secret that my frame of reference for the work that I do and in terms of generating compassion is related to my religious understanding and, in particular, my Christian religious understanding,' Parker told Cosmopolitan magazine. 'I'm thinking about a strong parallel between what's happening to my colleague (Nucatola) and the trial week of Jesus before he was crucified (as) he was marched from place to place, asked to answer allegations.'
When abortion doctors are elevated to gods who may not be questioned or held accountable, society has officially gone off the rails."

CBS Local in Los Angeles published this:
"The body of a mystery man was decomposing in his car in the ritzy Pacific Palisades neighborhood for nearly two weeks before he was found by authorities, an attorney said.
Inside his home, detectives discovered more than 1,200 guns, scopes, 6.5 tons of ammunition, bows and arrows, knives, machetes and $230,000 in cash after he was found on Friday. Residents of the townhome complex where the man lived were evacuated Saturday as investigators removed the weapons and ammunition.
They also located eight of the 14 vehicles stashed around Los Angeles registered to the man, including an SUV designed to drive underwater.
Who he was and how he came to accumulate the arsenal and vehicles are questions authorities are still trying to answer."

'The hardest part for me was to watch some of the Congress members falling asleep and some of them were doing whatever they did on their phones,' she said. 'There were a few that paid attention, because people were pouring their hearts out, and our lives have been shattered. They sit there and participate in it and don’t even have enough decency to just sit there and look at us.'"

Susan Rice Admits Secret 'Side Deals' with Iran - Breitbart
We are definitely being played for fools...
According to Joel B. Pollack at Breitbart.com:
"The two secret deals, which cover the Parchin military site and the possible military dimensions (PMDs) of Iran’s nuclear program, were revealed Wednesday by Sens. Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) (R-AK) and Rep. Mike Pompeo (R-KS), who had learned of the deals after meeting July 17 with IAEA in Vienna.
In a press release, Cotton and Pomepeo said they had been told that the deals 'will remain secret and will not be shared with other nations, with Congress, or with the public.' That, they said, violated the Obama administration’s commitment to provide the full text of the Iran deal to Congress for consideration under the Corker Bill (The Iran Nuclear Review Agreement Act)."

Obama collecting personal data for a secret race database | New York Post
Paul Sperry reports in the New York Post. He begins:
"A key part of President Obama’s legacy will be the fed’s unprecedented collection of sensitive data on Americans by race. The government is prying into our most personal information at the most local levels, all for the purpose of 'racial and economic justice.' Unbeknown to most Americans, Obama’s racial bean counters are furiously mining data on their health, home loans, credit cards, places of work, neighborhoods, even how their kids are disciplined in school — all to document “inequalities” between minorities and whites."

Abby Johnson, Planned Parenthood defector: Loophole allows profits from fetal organ sales - Washington Times
In the Washington Times, Valarie Richardson posts the details behind this story:
"Abby Johnson wasn’t horrified by last week’s undercover video showing a Planned Parenthood doctor describing over lunch and wine how to 'crush' a fetus during an abortion to preserve the organs, because she’s been there.
In her previous role as clinic director for a Planned Parenthood facility in East Texas, Ms. Johnson said part of her job was to sift through the aborted fetal tissue and organs, pack them in a container with dry ice, check the consent form and 'ship them off.'"
"Deportation's revolving door: Suspects in Lawrence shooting shouldn't have been in U.S."
Hillary Chabot reported on this in the Boston Herald:
"Deportation orders failed to oust two illegal immigrants who are now up on drug charges and under investigation in the July 4 shooting death of a Lawrence grandmother — in an alarming case that critics say illustrates a revolving immigration door with dangerous consequences.
Dominican Republic nationals Wilton Lara-Calmona and Jose M. Lara-Mejia were arrested on drug charges by police investigating the shooting death of Mirta Rivera, 41. The Lawrence nurse was killed in her sleep by a gunshot fired through the ceiling from an upstairs apartment, where both men lived.
But Immigration and Customs Enforcement records reviewed by the Herald show the men shouldn’t have been in the country in the first place. Lara-Calmona, 38, was deported in April 2012 and arrested for re-entering the country last November, the records show.
Lara-Mejia, 35, was nabbed crossing the border in August 2013 and ordered deported in April 2014, but had remained in the country illegally."

"Much of the media and many politicians blame the San Joaquin Valley's water shortage on drought, but that is merely an aggravating factor. From my experience representing California's agricultural heartland, I know that our water crisis is not an unfortunate natural occurrence; it is the intended result of a long-term campaign waged by radical environmentalists who resorted to political pressure as well as profuse lawsuits."

Unfortunately, media presentation skills con us to believe whatever they report...
At MotherJones.com, Daniel Schulman discusses the issue:
"He noted that President Barack Obama would be delivering a major speech in the Middle East the following day that would "blanket coverage and extinguish the Cuba stuff, so we just need to weather the night."
He wrote:
'we are suffering from two significant tactical problems: 1) you are here and removed 2) our press corps was out of position today and in flight, so the people we worked on all week and the ones likely to skew our way were replaced by reporters not connected to us. The two issues above will be rectified tomorrow in your two interviews - especially Greta who is malleable. We can use that to make a strong case on the principle, and the simple fact Cuba wasn't in the OAS yesterday, and won't be tomorrow. Everyday that passes reinforces that point. The time difference to East Coast will help us in moving whatever is said in these interviews tomorrow.'
In his email, Reines was referring to an interview with Fox News' Greta Van Susteren, which aired the following day."

Why Republicans Lose - Derek Hunter

At Townhall.com, Derek Hunter includes this tidbit in his posted article:
"The Chamber of Commerce, a big money player in politics, wants amnesty; it wants an already saturated employment market flooded with millions of new legal entrants to keep downward pressure on wages.
It’s a myth that big business and Wall Street are 'Republican' or 'conservative.' They love big government when it subsidizes them or props up their stock price. And they love regulations when they make it nearly impossible for new competitors to emerge. Big business is perfectly happy both to use government as a weapon against competitors and to cry 'free markets' when that weapon is aimed at them."

"It got little notice, but on May 28, Sarah Saldana, director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, admitted in a letter to Sens. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) and Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) that between fiscal years 2010 and 2014, the Obama administration had released '121 unique criminal aliens who had an active [deportation] case at the time of release and were subsequently charged with homicide-related offenses.'
Think about that: 121 times over the past four years, the administration has released an illegal immigrant with prior criminal convictions who went on to be charged with murder. That is one every 12 days."

"Congress voted in June to rein in the NSA’s mass collection of U.S. telephone records, but the USA Freedom Act allowed for a six-month transition away from the program. On Monday, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court approved an FBI application to continue the records collection program until December.
'Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose (the more things change, the more they stay the same), well, at least for 180 days,' FISC Judge Michael Mosman wrote in the approval.
The 'short answer is yes' to legal questions about whether the USA Freedom Act ended bulk collection of U.S. phone records, but “Congress deliberately carved out a 180-day period following the date of enactment in which such collection was specifically authorized,” he wrote."

Why is it that a quarter of African-Americans live below the poverty line, even after the impact of federal programs like food stamps and housing subsidies? The supplemental poverty rate for African-Americans is nearly double the rate for other Americans,' Perry continued.

James Angelos' The Full Catastrophe: Travels among the New Greek Ruins lays bare the corruption which filtered through all levels of society - from the islanders who pretended to be blind, to the families who forgot to register their parents' death and the doctors who 'earn' just €12,000 a year - yet live in Athens' most exclusive neighbourhood."

"It’s always a little unsettling when a movement that claims the mantle of truth, liberty, and equality starts openly admitting its arguments are mere 'tools' to be wielded for their 'usefulness.' But that’s where the movement is these days. Remember when proponents of same-sex marriage mocked people who suggested that creating a right to same-sex 'marriage' might weaken the institution of marriage itself: How could my gay marriage possibly affect your straight marriage? Those arguments have outlived their usefulness, too. Here’s gay activist Jay Michaelson last year in the Daily Beast:"

On the CSmonitor website, Henry Gass writes about it:
"Obama wants to extend the overtime rule to almost 5 million more workers in 2016. The rule hasn’t been updated since 2004 and has been eroded by inflation, and the revamped rule would more than double the limit at which employees become ineligible for overtime. That threshold would rise to $970 a week, or up to about $50,400 a year, by 2016."

Why GOP Debates Should Include All Candidates | RealClearPolitics
Clearly, the multitude of Republican presidential candidates poses problems; however, in this "land of opportunity" every candidate deserves a chance to be seen and heard...
At RealClearPolitics.com, Frank Cannon & Marjorie Dannenfelser close their posted article with this:
"It’s true that the large number of candidates presents some challenges, but voters are ill served by debates that include, for example, a national celebrity such as Donald Trump but exclude Carly Fiorina or Lindsey Graham or Rick Santorum. All declared candidates polling at 1 percent or higher deserve an equal opportunity to make his or her case to the American people. For early debates, that may mean having two forums, with the candidates randomly divided. The field will narrow soon enough. Let that winnowing process be the result of the candidates and their ideas being heard and tested by voters, rather than artificially imposed by debate sponsors and national polls."
