Transcript of Paul Weston’s speech: Well, hello all. Thank you again to Steve Eddowes for asking me to come down and speak to you today. After my last speech a lot of people have been emailing me saying, “How come some middle class nancy-boy like you supports the EDL?” And I’ve got a very simple answer for that because at the moment the EDL are the only people in this country who are standing up for what’s going on. We, in twenty-first century England, are looking at a battle for survival over the coming decades — the battle for western...

The Department of Homeland Security is poised to ditch all records from a controversial network monitoring system called Einstein that are at least three years old, but not for security reasons. DHS reasons the files -- which include data about traffic to government websites, agency network intrusions and general vulnerabilities -- have no research significance.

Many people have made the observation that it is the weapon that you have with you that matters.   A .22 that you have beats a .45 that you left at home.   It is one of the reasons the tiny pocket .380s like the KelTec 738 and the Ruger LCP are so popular. I do not know what make and model the woman in Kentucky was carrying when she returned home.  What matters is that she had it when she confronted the two suspects who were looting her residence.   One of them had a pistol; one of...

Misappropriation of veterans’ property in LA County: Nine separate illegal real estate dealings During the reign of Henry Waxman, Los Angeles County was given a well deserved, although unenviable title of the veteran homeless capital of the nation. Hundreds of acres of land deeded to veterans in 1888 were to serve as their sanctuary, but instead, some definitely not angelic officials turned the place into a cradle of both the greatest paradox and the most smothered land grabbing scandal in VA’s history. Eric Shinseki must have been in a hurry to resign from his role as Veteran Affairs Secretary… He...

Deliberate attempt to subvert our sovereignty, pander to a hostile sentiment that supports your criminal quest to redistribute America's wealth, independence, founding values This week I would like to highlight some of the wisdom of the American people. Jonathan Gruber is so wrong. It’s not “stupid voters,” it’s the stupidity of arrogance of people like Gruber who live off the trough of taxpayer money, then laugh at them as they abscond with millions of dollars. The following are just a few of the many excellent Facebook responses Thursday after President Obama’s announcement of his amnesty plan for illegals in this...

Secretary of State John Kerry has been a non-stop embarrassment to us since he broke onto the stage as a disgruntled, Viet Nam veteran who was angry at America and proud to tell the world about it. Those who were around at the time can still “see” the horse faced phony in a fatigue shirt talking about Jengus Khan and proudly describing how Richard Nixon ordered him into Cambodia before he was even inaugurated. Since then he has become a gigolo who married the foulmouthed Teresa Heinz the widow of Republican Senator John Heinz. Kerry honed his lying skills at...

Black racism is every bit as bad as white racism. On Monday, Nov 17, the Governor of Missouri activated its National Guard “to support law enforcement during any period of unrest that might occur following the grand jury’s decision concerning the investigation into the death of Michael Brown.” He declared a state of emergency. A grand jury verdict that is likely to exonerate officer Darren Wilson is assumed to require significant law enforcement because in August we witnessed the initial weeks of rioting, looting and arson in what has been described by police authorities as an organized effort. When the...

Jonathan Gruber dimwits: Michelle Obama has been strangely quiet since her husband King Obama I delivered Executive Amnesty on November 20. “I wonder where Michelle is?” talk show radio supremo Mark Levin asked on Friday. “Where are the girls?” “I don’t know.” Only the school children of America know for sure where Michelle Obama isn’t: In the school cafeteria where she has been given the proverbial bum’s rush for her scanty and even gross school day lunches, with which she has abysmally failed to replace Mom’s lovingly packed paper bag lunch.

Breaking into America’s house in the middle of the night, demanding ownership of the deed of trust is dishonorable The amnesty by executive fiat is a fait accompli - five million law breakers are now going to become American citizens with all the benefits American taxpayers are forced to provide, including ObamaCare. The “fiscal cost of immigration” will include: Medicaid, unemployment insurance, Social Security, workmen compensation, TANF, earned income credit, WIC, SNAP, free phones, SSI, free education, free lunch programs, kindergarten programs, day care, and other services such as police protection, fire protection, military protection, libraries, parks, highways, and over...

FR Note: Since I have already posted the original article here, the text below includes only the significantly updated portions.FURTHER ADDENDUMThe operational portions of the executive actions mentioned above are provided below. The introductory paragraphs, similar in both memorandums, are not provided here with the exception of one, which appears in the memorandum on visas. I have included it because it seems to indicate that Obama contemplates future actions by Federal agencies.

Plague Journal (Children of the Last Days)Paperback– March 1, 2003 by Michael D. O'Brien In this book, the author spins “a story" about a newspaper editor who "is uncooperative" with the educational authorities, is quickly declared a child abuser, becomes a fugitive, witnesses the extra-judicial killing of a young Vietnamese man who assists him, his life generally falling apart. Either the common patterns of provocation and over-reaction seen in the news are a bizarre coincidence, or a protocol for dealing with uncooperative parents has been developed and distributed widely in training institutes for educational administrators. What is needed is...

The IRS claim that Rev. Al Sharpton owes more than $4 million in back taxes was challenged by the Reverend. “My share of the reparations the US Government owes for slavery has not been taken into account,” Sharpton argued. “The humiliation, the suffering, the oppression, and murder of African-Americans that has disgraced this country for over 400 years is a debt that can never be fully repaid.” “Instead of harassing me, the government should be making a good-faith effort to try to make payments on this unpayable debt,” Sharpton suggested. “Then, after 400 years we can reassess to see how...

Buckley attempts to cut to the heart of Alinsky’s philosophy, and Alinsky bobs and weaves around Buckley’s jabs, in a characteristically obfuscatory fashion. In the video, Alinsky makes some interesting assertions, including: (i) “I’ll steal before I take charity.” (ii) “You only get power as a reaction to a threat.” (iii) “[That Alinsky is] very much in agreement with the thinking of the early revolutionaries…men like Madison, Jay, Hamilton, etc.” (iv) “People only do the right things for the wrong reasons.”

$200 monthly subsidy x 48M uninsured = $115.2 billion/year I don't want the government to pay that, but it's cheaper than Obamacare...  And everybody would be covered- that would have probably got you most of a policy before this clueless regime wreaked havoc upon our health care system by nationalizing 1/6 of the US economy, anyway. Now, Obamacare = 130 billion $/year -a bit more- AND the CBO itself says this will only be covering 13M new people, leaving 35M still uninsured (!) That's not very good, is it? So not only does Obamacare not even come close to obtaining it's own...

Peter Wehner made Mark Levin the target of his work at Commentary lately, as an extension of his zeal to cast G. W. Bush as more of a conservative than Reagan was, and  label numerous prominent conservatives as “purists” in desperate need of moderating their tone. Levin, rejecting the notion of being lectured to by a Bush grandee responded, correcting Wehner and calling attention to his aptitude for cherry-picking facts so that he can knock down prominent conservatives, and conservative causes.Peter Wehner arrived in Washington D.C. in 1983, and never left.  He was hired by Bill Bennett as a speechwriter...

Last week President Obama declared new laws on immigration, similar to how a divine right king might. What’s interesting in his decree is that in the very least he acknowledges that he cannot actually provide a pathway to citizenship under the law. He expanded the power of the executive branch but he didn’t open up the floodgates. Nevertheless he absolutely expanded the power of the executive branch, pending action by Congress or the Supreme Court. What’s odd about Obama’s expansion of power is that he could have had exactly what he decreed had be been willing to play ball with...

Early in our republic, it was considered crass and imperial for a president to issue too many executive orders.  Remember, our political experiment was the first in the world to unite a federal system of states with a central government elected by popular vote—even the title that George Washington would assume was a matter of intense study and debate.  Finally they settled on the unassuming “Mr. President”. President Washington issued a total of eight executive orders in his two terms in office.  And this was a president with a mandate.  His election was unanimous.  Before the Civil War, a total...

One of the difficult things to quantify about defensive gun uses, is how often they occur without a shot being fired.  The survey information indicates that it happens somewhere between a few hundred thousand to a few million times per year in the United States.  With the Internet, we are becoming more aware of these events.   Sometimes, they are reported in local media.  It in the vast majority of cases, there is no report to police; if there is a police report, there is no media coverage; if there is media coverage, it is strictly local.   I recall numerous...

There is no such thing as the "Dream Act". There have bills so named but none of them has become law. Undeterred, Obama implemented in 2012 via the "Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals" program (DACA) many features of the failed bills.
