USA: Congressman ISSA Declares Sestak Affair May Be An Impeachable Offense

This report comes to us fromFOXNEWS;

 Rep. Joe Sestak's allegation that the White House offered him a job to drop out of the Pennsylvania Senate primary race against Arlen Specter is a crime that could lead to the impeachment of President Obama, Rep. Darrell Issa said.

 But the decision by the Pennsylvania congressman not to elaborate on a so-called deal also could become a political problem as Sestak tries for the U.S. Senate seat.

 The White House reportedly is going to formally address the allegation in the next few days. In the meantime, Issa, R-Calif., is one of many inside and outside Washington who want the Democratic Senate primary candidate to explain in detail what offer the White House made.

 "It's very clear that allegation is one that everyone from Arlen Spector to Dick Morris has said is in fact a crime, and could be impeachable," said Issa, who is threatening to file an ethics compliant if Sestak doesn't provide more details about the alleged job offer.

 Sestak, a former vice admiral in the Navy, first alleged in February that the White House offered him a high-ranking position in the administration last summer if he would sit out the primary against Specter, who won the backing of the White House and state Democratic leaders for switching parties.

 The allegation is considered one of the factors that helped him defeat Specter, who was viewed as unscrupulous in doing whatever he could to keep his seat, including changing his party to win White House support for an uphill re-election battle.

 But now, Sestak has to go into the general election, where his opponent, former Republican Rep. Pat Toomey, is willing to use the topic as referendum on both Sestak's and Obama's credibility.

 "Congressman Sestak should tell the public everything he knows about the job he was offered, and who offered it," Republican Senate candidate Pat Toomey said in a written statement. "To do otherwise will only continue to raise questions and continue to be a needless distraction in this campaign."

 And Democratic Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, a close ally of the president, said Sestak can't continue to lay out the charge without backing it up.

 "At some point, Congressman Sestak needs to make it clear what happened," he said.

 Issa said this allegation is bigger than the Senate race.

 "For Joe Sestak, he can dance around it and he may or may not be a senator," he said. "But for the White House, this problem's not going away. Adm. Sestak is in fact a very reliable source."

 Ann Marie McAvoy, a former federal prosecutor, said the White House could have a problem on its hands depending on what the facts show.

 Pardon me Ms. former federal prosecutor; I would suggest that if the American people don't fail their most sacred and highest duty, Komrade Hussein and his regime will have much more to worry about than a legal procedure. I would like to beg the pardon of the American people for my belief that turning this ship around through a purely political avenue is hanging by the thinnest of threads. The fact that this "president" has taken things so far that he has American states now threatening each other is what I like to call a line too far. I simply do not see November as an answer to end all questions. If the nation does not go through a total restoration, a total resurrection of its founding principles, an absolute cleansing of the nation of its leftist rot, then the nation has little hope of being not only what it once was, but what G-d intended it to be far into the future. In short, it may very well be time to accept the inevitable fact that this generation is being called upon, that this generation may have to walk away from the creature comforts in order to achieve a greater victory for liberty and freedom for the next generation.

USA: Eric Holder Moves Forward To Take DOJ To War With Arizona

This report comes to us from FOXNEWS;

 A team of Justice Department attorneys reviewing the new immigration law in Arizona has recommended that the U.S. government challenge the state law in federal court, but the recommendation faces an uncertain future and tough scrutiny from others in the Justice Department, sources with knowledge of the process tell Fox News.

 Staff attorneys within the Justice Department recently sent higher-ups the recommendation. At the same time, the Justice Department's Civil Division, which oversees the majority of immigration enforcement issues for the department, has drafted a "civil complaint" that would be filed in federal court in Arizona, sources said.

 The draft complaint challenges the Arizona law as unconstitutional, saying it is illegal because it impedes federal law, according to the sources, who would not offer any more details about the draft complaint or the arguments made in it.

 Two weeks ago, Attorney General Eric Holder told lawmakers such an issue was being considered by Justice Department lawyers reviewing the new law, which outlines and possibly broadens the authority of police to detain those suspected of being in the country illegally.

 "We are examining the [Arizona] law and trying to determine if it contravenes the federal responsibility [toward] immigration, whether or not what the Arizona legislature has tried to do is actually preempted by federal law, by federal statutes." he told the House Judiciary Committee on May 13. "The regulation of our borders and the immigration that occurs by crossing our borders is something that is inherently something I believe for the national government to take responsibility for."

  I have heard some very infuriating statements by these swine over the years; this one is probably one of the most daring and appalling utterances I have heard in quite some time. Exactly, Mr. Holder, when in the hell do you plan to assume that responsibility? You sir are a part of the larger leftist plot to destroy this nation and bring about Marxism in its most naked form since the Bolshevik revolution. You, Komrade Hussein, the rest of you lot are guilty of the highest order of treason since your heroes, the Rosenbergs, were tried for spying for the Soviet Union. I have nothing more to say to you than this; bring it on. You sir are vastly overconfident in your plans and your arrogance shall be the match which sets alight your petrol drenched ideology. The United States of America will not tolerate this hypocrisy, the further governing against the will of the people, or your morally depraved thirst for absolute power at the expense of the American people and the founding documents any longer. As you continue to wage war on America, you shall steel the nerves and strengthen the mortar that builds the will of a people to throw off your brand of tyranny from this day forward. My friend, if it is reprisal, confrontation, open revolution you seek; then by all means, continue on your present course. We shall answer you sir.

 There were many times in the past when I had heated discussions with so-called moderates, cowards, timid souls who refused to believe that the soul intention of the left was to establish Marxism and engorge themselves on power over the masses. I can't count the number of excuses, shrugs, and spin I was given regarding the "good intentions" of these red swine in power; I wonder where those same folks stand today. Like so many despots and dictators before, Komrade Hussein has never done anything he didn't warn the American people he would do long before he became president. The blindness, the eagerness to elect a black president, the intoxication on the words and lofty promises which are hallmarks of socialist discourse, brought us to this point. Regardless of what you did in the ballot box that fateful day, the time to reclaim the national destiny is here and now. The issue, the question of what this regime intends for this nation is no longer a mystery; the lowest of imbeciles can no longer have any reservations or confusion as to the direction of this red tide. What we do now, the next step we take will spell the next chapter in the American saga; inaction shall undoubtedly write its conclusion.

Sweden: Swedenland's Red-Green Alliance Calls For All US Bases To Be Closed

This report comes to us from The Local;

 Sweden will demand that the United States closes all foreign military bases if the Red-Green opposition wins power.

 The policy is contained is a joint document from the alliance of the Social Democratic, Green and Left parties. It states:

 “A Red-Green government will demand that the USA decommissions its nuclear weapons and military bases outside the country’s borders.”

 The policy document only mentions US bases, and does not call for Russia or EU allies France and Britain close bases outside their territory.

 The document does not mention what means Sweden might use to persuade the world's most powerful country to give up its facilities abroad.

 Security analyst Fredrik Lindvall of the FOI defence research institute said any move by the Americans to close foreign bases would be destabilising in the Middle East and East Asia.

 “It would undeniably bring to the fore the need for countries like South Korea, Japan and Taiwan to have their own nuclear weapons. The need for offensive weapons would also become greater in the Middle East,” he said.

 The current government condemned the opposition policy. Foreign Minister Carl Bildt said he was astonished that the Social Democrats had agreed to the passages about US bases, saying that it indicated that the Left Party was devising the opposition’s policies:

 “It confirms that [Left Party foreign affairs spokesman] Hans Linde is holding the pen, but [Social Democrat counterpart] Urban Ahlin feels bound by this as well. It would lead to huge problems; it’s pure anti-Americanism,” Bildt said.

 “We would get problems both in relation to the United States and to countries that want the US’s help. The diplomatic service would have to devote significant amounts of time to limiting the damage of an anti-American foreign policy.”

 Urban Ahlin downplayed the significance of the passages:

 “We demand this of all great powers. We don’t write it about Russia, because there we have greater problems with human rights and press freedom than in the US. He agreed that a unilateral withdrawal would destabilize parts of the world:

 “Yes, of course it would. But we aren’t demanding that. This applies to all great powers. But it’s possible that we could have been clearer here,” he said.

 In the Oxford dictionary, the word weasel has now been updated with the photograph of a particular coward by the name of Urban Ahlin. I have hgeard some extraordinary backpedaling before, but this one is definitely of an award winning caliber. In fact, I remember a certain President from Arknasas defining the word is, and comprared to this. I was utterly convinced. At any rate, my American friends, it is time to pack up and go on home. G-d forbid you have to face the consequences of defying the Red-Greens of Sweden; you may find yourself in the horrible position of suffering an assault of.........name-calling. I for one and convinced that to avoid such a crusging misery would far outweigh the consequences of allowing Russia free reign over western Europe and elsewhere.

 Mr. Ahlin, you sir are a bedwetting joke of the first order. If you think for one munite that your pathetic little mass you call a country is in any position to set the standard, to call the shots, or make moral or any sort of judgements whatsoever, you are sadly, profoundly mistaken. With the brilliant work you scum have made of your own country, and the wolves you have made fat with your women and children, I would hardly consider even a glance at your incompetent and insignificant place in the world or its history. The fact is that you have sold your souls, your women and children and your honour to the immigrant for the advancement of socialism and ultimately your own mandate; consequently, nobody gives a damn what you charlatans have to say. I would have said that you suffer the same inferiority complex as the Canadians, but then again that would be an isult to Canadians. The truth is that you are worth a few insults, a few more jokes, and a brief second of pity; nothing more. 

Cafferty Begging Ted Turner To Send Him To The Gulag And Our Video Of The Day

 This Cafferty fellow is seriously treading on thin ice; I used to think this was a bonus in his paycheck, a quick buck in order to make CNN look as if it were more balanced, but the guy is starting to convince me that he has, in fact, been born again. The winds are creating that all to familiar smell of revolution my friends; not the long haired urine stained jeans variety, but the honourable and steadfast courageous type that make Bolsheviks tremble in fear. This regime is starting to fumble furiously for the last knot in the rope and there they must find us; smiling down at them armed with big shiny shears. The crimes against the people must end here and now; America is definitely "too big to fail".

Joe Biden Relocates Capital Of The Free World, Recounts His Work In "Parliament" And Our Video Of The Day

The following quote comes to us from FOXNEWS;

 It's not unheard of for Vice President Biden to get lost in the moment, but during a speech earlier this month to the European Parliament his flattery of the host may have gone a bit overboard, ceding Washington, D.C.'s role as the world's center of liberty.

 The U.S. vice president, opening his address in Belgium, argued that Brussels -- considering its rich history and abundance of international institutions -- could well be the "capital of the free world."

 He suggested that Washington, D.C., his home, is undeserving of that title -- notwithstanding its wealth of global organizations and the countless international summits that take place there.

 "As you probably know, some American politicians and American journalists refer to Washington, D.C. as the 'capital of the free world,'" Biden said. "But it seems to me that in this great city, which boasts 1,000 years of history and which serves as the capital of Belgium, the home of the European Union, and the headquarters for NATO, this city has its own legitimate claim to that title."

 Biden's trip to Europe in early May came in the immediate aftermath of the attempted Times Square bombing and his comings and goings were not widely reported. The above comment was made during his May 6 address to the European Parliament.

 Biden used the speech to discuss tackling the threats of nuclear proliferation, climate change and international terrorism and stress the importance of the United States' alliance with Europe.

 "We need each other more now than we have ever," Biden said.

 Biden said he was "particularly honored" to address the body, "as a lawmaker for more than 36 years in our parliament."

 Well that’s that then innit? Unbe{expletive deleted}lievable!!! Parliament now is it? Well Mr. Biden, I would have to defer any comment on that to the citizenry of the United States of America. Whether you like it or not, and it sounds rather like you don't, America is the beacon of freedom and liberty in the world and she is not done with that high ground by a long shot. I will say this much though, you are a disgrace to your office, your people, and your nation; may the people seek you out and give you, your regime, and the rest of your ilk, the justice you so rightly deserve.

 My American brethren; this has got to be the straw that puts a bit too much on the camel. Where are the lines when it comes to taking a stand in defense of the honour of the United States? How much more will the people of this great nation take before a bill is sent to the seditious? Between a Marxist president, his Mexican mouthpiece, a criminal Bolshevik congress, and a miserable imbecile for a second, I can't really imagine what more the American people need in order to break out the balls and wadding. November is a long way off, maybe longer than we can afford; I can only hope and pray that the damage inflicted in the meantime is not so great that it cannot be overcome. Keep an eye on the ball and prepare for the worst; the night is always darkest before the dawn.

Speaking Out Against The Mexican President's Display And Our Video Of The Day

While I applaud the gentleman for his speech and his willingness to stand up to the leftist machine in congress, I have to make something absolutely clear. The focus of this spectacle put on by the Mexican president should NOT be about his audacity to come in and say what he said on the floor of the congress. The focus should be on the fact that the speech, the whole charade itself, was engineered by the Democrat party. The crime here, the unprecedented act of utter treason, was committed by those who wrote his speech, invited him into the country, and applauded him for insulting the integrity of the United States. If it is not obvious, exactly who wrote that speech, and who was behind such a shameful display, then my American friends are a bit further behind the ballgame than I had anticipated. Though I am sure that this is not the case; it damn sure better be vocalized or else the same status quo will continue for as long as we allow them to get away with this nonsense.

  People, we must start to speak the truth and call spades when we see them or else this circus wheel will just keep turning. Decorum be damned, the nation and its future are at stake here; we simply have to step up to the plate and let them know that this is not going to go down like this any longer.

Netherlands: Wilders Succeeds In Publishing Study Showing Detrimental Results Of Unfettered Mass Immigration And Voter Cultivation Schemes

This report comes to us from NIS;

 THE HAGUE, 21/05/10 - Immigration of non-Westerners costs the Netherlands 7.2 billion euros a year, according to calculations made by research institute Nyfer and commissioned by the Party for Freedom (PVV).

 PVV leader Geert Wilders had already announced earlier that Nyfer had calculated that the net immigration of non-Western immigrants, 25,000 persons per year, has a negative effect on government finances of 6 to 10 billion euros. At the time, Nyfer did not yet wish to confirm that figure.

 Nyfer now says the costs of 7.2 billion a year result among other things from the fact that immigrants receive social security benefit payments more often than the indigenous, and on average pay less tax per person. In a presentation of the Nyfer figures, Wilders yesterday gave all political parties that want to make cutbacks the short advice: "Close the borders."

 Wilders asked Nyfer to carry out the research after he had earlier unsuccessfully asked the cabinet for the figures. The government considered it inappropriate to expose the economic cost-effectiveness of certain groups.

  I would like to ask the reader to take a long, hard look at the last sentence of this article. I have seen many excuses, but none so utterly bankrupt and pathetic as simply labeling a matter of national security “inappropriate” for discussion. This is a staggering example of how political correct ideology has superseded logic, reason, security, and overall sanity in today’s world.   The government has told the PVV in no other terms that it will not share this information as they know it is exactly the sort of information that will lead the public to fully comprehend the damage being done in the name of voter cultivation.  G-d forbid the public have hard, tangible data to make clear and informed decisions when going to the polls in June.

 It is not as if this information wasn’t already general knowledge; I don’t believe that anybody in their right mind ever viewed the Arabs masses as anything but a detriment to society. However, it is necessary for the data to be translated into clear cult criminal statistics, voter demographics and how they relate to particular parties, and of course an itemized breakdown of the expenses levied against the indigenous Dutch tax payer for the importation of future voters.  Such data in the hands of the general populace will of course do much more than inform; it will justify any future movements against the leftist agenda and disable its primary operational theatres from existing in the future. The sad fact is that there are still many who fall for the humanitarian line being offered by the left and these cons can only be eradicated with hard factual evidence that such “humanitarian” and “tolerant” gestures always seem to benefit a particular party rather than the future and security of a nation.

 June is quickly approaching and we will more than likely see a conservative victory. I implore the VVD and PVV to form a governing coalition for the sake of the Netherlands and its future.  These petty political games by the VVD to attract moderate voters by trashing Wilders as a racist are both unnecessary and destructive.  As the Netherlands contains a clear conservative majority; the only thing which matters is to move forward on the shared values of nationalism and conservatism for the greater good of the nation. Whether or not the “moderate” a rather despicable creature in his own right, comes into the fold or not is of little consequence to the nation as a whole. The nation deserves better and will achieve it either through political or other means; nothing can stop that now. 

Komrade Hussein Prepares Speech For and Offers Floor Of Congress To Mexican President To Insult The United States...Our Audio Of The Day

This circus display put on yesterday by Komrade Hussein in front of congress has to be by far the darkest, most shameful display ever demonstrated by the American government.  In short we have had an American President bring a foreign head of state, hand him a speech of Marxist Democrat talking points, and encourage him to denigrate the United States on the floor of the congress. I have never seen anything like this before nor would I have ever imagined it possible. The most amazing aspect of this though is the total oblivion that this imbecile Mexican seems to be in over the discourse he gave on that floor. He turns right around and offers the exact opposite to Wolf Blitzer of CNN. This is beyond ridiculous; it is the lowest form of political depravity and absurdity I have ever seen the United States drop into. Rush, the master orator of conservative talk radio sums it up well so I feel no need to point out the lunacy in the contrasting statements; it does however deserve more than one listen. America is simply entering into the third tier of Banana Republics.

 It would be well advised for the American people to realize what just happened and react to the magnitude of this unprecedented sham with righteous fury. The sitting President of the United States has invited a head of state to come in a rip the country apart on the floor of the congress; does that not strike anyone as being overtly hostile and seditious? I am utterly speechless over this display of hatred and disdain for the American people by their own president. My friends, there is no speculation, no reading between the lines; it is crystal clear that this man has an obsession with destroying this nation in its entirety.

 While I must confess that I have less faith than others with November, I will as always put my faith into the great American people to find a way through this hell. All that I can do is impose upon the people of the United States that they ensure that every candidate who stands must do so with an unbending, unwavering, unrelenting will to fight this leftist disease to its very core. There can and must be no further appeasements to “moderates” or the left in any fashion whatsoever. If the nation is to survive, let alone succeed, it must do so with a fervent belief in conservatism and with the one goal of smashing the leftist ideology completely out of the American political landscape. No more concessions, no more reaching across the aisle, no more pandering or mincing words; the call of the day is to fight with brutality and to resist any urge to show mercy or grant quarter to those who would do this great nation any further harm. Without such political action, the cancer will spread until the nation succumbs. Only the people, the conservative majority can turn this ship around now. Forget Washington, forget the spineless Republican; all must lock arms together and march with the intent of pure victory. Willingness to give life and limb for the survival of the greatest nation on earth is the only way forward.

American Exceptionalism And Our Photo Of The Day

This brief holiday from darkness comes to us from the Daily Mail;

 This is a stunning self-portrait that would make Vincent Van Gogh proud. Nasa astronaut Garrett Reisman took the impressive shot of his helmet visor, which reflected his stunning view of the International Space Station and entire globe behind.

 The 42-year-old's protective gloves, emblazoned with the logo of baseball's New York Yankees, are clearly visible holding the space camera in the foreground.

 The former Nasa engineer took the snap on the first space walk of the final Atlantis shuttle mission. During the spacewalk, he and Stephen Bowen attached a new Russian chamber onto the orbiter.

 Mr Reisman used a 58ft robotic arm to drive the 20ft long room into place. He drove it with such precision that the first capture sensor didn't even go off, despite having been stranded for half an hour after a short power outage on the station.

 'He went right down the middle and got a hole in one,' Mission Control said. Mr Reisman was assisted by the British born meteorologist Piers Sellers, who called out all the milestones.

 You know, every once in a while it is necessary to take a look at things which bring us inspiration; the sort of glimmer of hope and greatness that gives us the fuel to fight on. I just thought I would share this photograph with you and ask that you remember that with all the dark days we have been through, there still lives the spirit, the innovation, the exceptionalism which drives us forward. Komrade Hussein; this is the epitome of the expression "too big to fail". America has seen worse than you and she will live on my friend.
