Senator Vitter Submits Legislation to Limit Fly-By Citizenship

I happened to click over to C-SPAN2 when Senator Vitter was discussing his legislation to stop birth tourism, as well as the misinterpretation of the 14th Amendment.

CIS recently reported that around 200,000 birth tourist babies are born annually in this country, a practice which is not illegal. News of the San Gabriel birth tourism facility [...]

Sen. Graham Suggests Gutting Free Speech to Appease Hostile Muslims

One of the ways that Islam imposes sharia around the world is by behavioral shaping through violence and intimidation. Today’s illustration is Sen Lindsey Graham’s suggestion on a Sunday talk show that Congress make it a crime to burn the Koran.

He was responding to the growing violence in Afghanistan over a Florida pastor’s Koran-B-Q in [...]

Chairman Issa Subpoenas ATF for Gunrunner Documents

It’s nice to see that Republican Darrell Issa, the Chair of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, is going after the administration on the corrupt and crazy Operation Gunrunner scheme of the ATF that delivered thousands of weapons to Mexican organized crime during a failed “sting.” We certainly wouldn’t have seen this kind [...]

Priorities Considered: Libya vs. U.S. Border Security

The recent Libyan adventure/war unleashed by the President is a fine indicator of Obama values. Even establishing a mere no-fly zone over a camel-filled country is not exactly peanuts, but once BHO had made up his mind, he sent an array of planes and bombs into the fray, in which the “rebels” America is defending [...]

NPR Shoots Itself in the Foot (Again)

I saw bit and pieces on news shows of this undercover video showing an NPR executive schmoozing for dollars with men identified as terrorist sympathizers, but watching the whole thing at once is quite a tour of liberal condescension. Attitudes range from the university (“liberal because it’s intellectual”) to the Tea Party (“racist, racist people”).

We [...]

Honesty of Upcoming Muslim Hearing Debated

On the surface, it looks like Rep. Peter King has folded like a cheap lawn chair on his March hearing about the danger of so-called home-grown terrorists lurking among Muslim communities. He has gotten a barrage of furious attacks from CAIR and the left, and King has appeared to shrink back from his original intent.

Opponents [...]

Anti-Sovereignty Senators Plot Amnesty against Americans -- Again!

They’re ba-a-a-a-ck!. The Open-Borders Republicans, led by Senator Lindsey Graham, are being courted by the usual Democrat suspects (Chuck Schumer in particular) for a retry at amnesty for illegal aliens. And Senator McCain appears about to revert to his pro-amnesty self now that he’s been reelected.

The long-lasting jobs depression (which may well last for years [...]

Border More Lawless, Rep. Ed Royce Learns

While Secretary of DHS Janet Napolitano continues to spread the Big Lie that the border is fine, no problem, a group of serious House Republicans, including Ed Royce, Steve King and Phil Gingrey, visited the area recently and heard from residents.

Rep. Ed Royce was interviewed February 1 about the trip on the John and Ken [...]

Immigration Subcommittee's Quiet Start

As far as I can tell thus far, only the home-town paper of Rep. Elton Gallegly (pictured) reported directly about his first hearing as Chair of the House Immigration Subcommittee. However, scheduling the panel for the day following the President’s State of the Union speech may have consigned the hearing to minimal news coverage, given [...]

UC Berkeley Chancellor Blames Sovereignty Defenders for Tucson Massacre

Far left loons from far and wide have been invecting upon Saturday’s shooting in Arizona to blame free speech from conservatives as the cause, even though the perp appears to be a paranoid schizophrenic with a long rap sheet of anti-social behavior and no political affiliation.

In California, Robert J. Birgeneau, the Chancellor of the University [...]

Safety Considered for Citizens and Members of Congress

After the Arizona shooting of Rep Giffords, members of the House plus their families and staff participated in a conference call to discuss improving safety precautions. And who can blame them? Everyone deserves a reasonable expectation of safety.

In other related media news, the left’s talking points immediately focused on accusing conservatives of causing likely schizophrenic [...]

Lamar Smith’s List for the Judiciary Committee

Unlike many New Years list-makers, Rep Lamar Smith has put his down in writing for the public. And Smith’s position as the new Chair of the House Judiciary Committee means his list is an important indication of the direction the House will take in many important issues.

He emphasized the importance of immigration enforcement in the [...]
