Coach or First Class? Why walk through a desert to get to the United States when you can just fly? That’s the new policy being adopted by the Obama administration for illegal alien children whose parents want them to come to the United States. As long as the parent maintains any kind of legal status they can apply to have their child picked up in central America and flown to the U.S. to be reunited. Millions of children may qualify for the program under refugee status. And because of the refugee designation, once the children arrive in America their families...

No one noticed. But I did. Back in 2008 Barack Obama said “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cqN4NIEtOYThen when confronted Obama denied it: O’Reilly: OK. I got a letter from Kathy LaMaster, Fresno, Calif. I said I would read one letter from the folks, all right? Obama: All right. O’Reilly: "Mr. President, why do you feel it's necessary to fundamentally transform the nation that has afforded you so much opportunity and success?" Obama: I don't think we have to fundamentally transform the nation. Yes, you do, you liar. The Obama worshipping minions...

As Obama’s term of office recedes with every passing day, know that his “transformation” of America into a socialist state will end in failure Is it too soon to begin to sum up President Obama’s “legacy”? Possibly, but after six years we know enough to draw some conclusions. There is much to protest on any given day Obama sits in the Oval Office with all its powers at his disposal. The Constitution granted the executive branch considerable power, particularly in the conduct of foreign affairs but the Founders also created a system to offset the office when it comes to...

Fundamental Transformation of America: Getting rid of the country that exists, replacing it with a foreign new one The actual blueprint of the method of the madness of the Obama regime has been laid bare in White House plans to develop “A Country Within A country” of 15 Million “New Americans”, a story brought to light by Mark Levin’s interview with Susan Payne. “Citizens Will Be Cast Into the Shadows”, warns Susan Payne, a contributor to WCBM, Baltimore and Co-Host of the Pat McDonough Radio Show. (Independent Sentinel, February 28, 2015) Citizens about to be cast into the shadows is...

The Fundamental Transformation of America is, in a sense, his cover. Obama has this dream. No, not the somewhat sappy one allegedly ghost-written for him on the pages of Dreams from my Father by Billy Ayers, but one of far more frightening dimensions. Obama’s dream is everyone else’s waking nightmare, the takeover of North America by caliphate-seeking jihadists. Nobody’s ever going to believe it. People who can’t allow themselves to believe that Obama doesn’t love America would never be ready to believe that Obama was brought into power for the express purpose to hand the coveted North America kingdom over...

But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.(Romans 10:8-11)What does God require of any sinner, Gentile or Jew? Righteousness cannot be attained by any...

Research Triangle Park, N.C. — A "resource action," or layoffs, are underway at IBM (NYSE: IBM) under the name "Project Chrome," workers are telling the Alliance@IBM Union. "Bloodbath today," wrote an IBMer in Columbia, Mo. "Me? Yes, RA'd." “At a time when IBM is aggressively transforming, the company continues to rebalance its workforce to meet the changing requirements of its clients and to lead in new, high value segments of the IT industry, including cloud, analytics, mobile, security, social and cognitive computing. This is not new news," IBM said in a statement. "IBM announced a $600 million workforce rebalancing charge...

Under the Fundamental Transformation of America When President Barack Obama addresses students at the University of Kansas later today, he’ll likely tell them he’s one of them. Last night’s presidential sleep was a “King Bed Executive” room at the Holiday Inn, which goes for $94.55. The hotel, which sold out last night, had been security checked with bomb-sniffing dogs and police hours before Obama’s arrival. Upon his arrival in Kansas, Obama reminded folks “I have roots here”. An obvious reference to his late mother.

Many American political leaders, military officials, law enforcement and security chiefs, and members of the news media are confounded by President Barack Obama's refusal to identify Muslim terrorism or Islamist terrorists as being Muslim terrorism or Islamist terrorists. Perhaps an organization that represents military combat veterans from all branches of the armed forces has discovered the reason for Obama and his minions' hesitancy: He's welcoming tens of thousands of Muslim refuges into U.S. cities without the slightest pretense of conducting any type of vetting. President Obama is being quietly applauded by United Nations officials for his agreeing to secretly allow...

21,000 new regulations have been enacted under Obama, and 2,375 are scheduled so far for 2015. Congress does not have the power to stop this avalanche, and can do very little to slow it down. The sad and frustrating part of this “government gone wild” scenario is that it is highly doubtful any of these regulations can be rescinded or fixed before they potentially cause significant permanent damage to our individual freedoms, to say nothing of how they will negatively impact our day-to-day lives. This is how Obama’s “fundamental change” of America is accomplished.

If eggs are a staple in your family’s diet and you’d like to keep it that way, now would be a good time to get a few laying hens. Next month, beginning January 1, 2015, the chicken-and-egg production in the United States is in for a big shock. That’s when California’s new regulations on egg-laying hens goes into effect. And the effects of those regs on eggs will be felt nationally, even globally. The incredible, edible, prolate spheroid-shaped poultry product, which has long been one of the most affordable sources of high-quality protein, is certain to become significantly more expensive.In...

President Obama insisted Tuesday that his successor won’t take the political risk that would come with reversing his recent executive action on immigration reform. Speaking at a town-hall meeting in Nashville, the president said it’s “theoretically” possible that the next administration could undo the amnesty Mr. Obama has granted to more than 4 million illegal immigrants, but he assured a crowd of undocumented Americans that such a step it is extremely unlikely. “It’s true a future administration might try to reverse some of our policies. But I’ll be honest with you — the American people basically have a good heart...

A protest over a grand jury's decision to not indict a New York police officer in the death of Eric Garner briefly shut down Highway 101 in Palo Alto on Wednesday. The protest, which appeared to involve students from Stanford University, started about 7:30 p.m. and lasted two hours, said police Agent Marianna Villaescusa. No arrests were made. "It was very peaceful," she said. "We tried to work with the group as much as we could and keep everyone safe."

WASHINGTON – An Obama administration program secretly dispatched young Latin Americans to Cuba using the cover of health and civic programs to provoke political change, a clandestine operation that put those foreigners in danger even after a U.S. contractor was hauled away to a Cuban jail. Beginning as early as October 2009, a project overseen by the U.S. Agency for International Development sent Venezuelan, Costa Rican and Peruvian young people to Cuba in hopes of ginning up rebellion. The travelers worked undercover, often posing as tourists, and traveled around the island scouting for people they could turn into political activists....

You can edge your way out of Obama’s silly cow script by recognizing that his war is largely based on the big talk of endless, going-nowhere rhetoric. The rhetoric of lecturing an under-duress Israel, a patently useless Obama rhetoric that will never stop Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from defending his own country; the Obama rhetoric of naming the over flooding of the southern US border with illegal aliens as a ‘humanitarian crisis’, without mention that it was a crisis that originates with him; the rhetoric of throwing a safety net via executive order for the protection of all LGBTs that...

When Obama let out his first soul-chilling hint: “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America” on Oct. 30, 2008, few thought about what his actual modus operandi might be. The hint was issued by a rabble rouser who had arrived on the world stage with a carefully crafted rock star/messiah status; amid posters of ‘Hope & Change’ distributed to the four corners of the world; the defiant boast coming on on the eve of Halloween to boot.

We now all know the Countdown to the Fundamental Transformation of America: First Barack Hussein Obama successfully hid his own true identity, then after six years proved there was no way to unearth the documents that would prove his identity—BHO stole the identity of the USA by transforming it into a country without borders.

Sara Bareilles played softly through the surround-sound speakers of my husband’s 2003 Mercedes Kompressor as I sat idling at a light. I’d never been to this church before, but I could see it from where I was, across from an old park, abandoned in the chilly September air. The clouds hung low as I pulled the sleek, pewter machine into the lot. But I wasn’t going to pray or attend services. I was picking up food stamps. Even then, I couldn’t quite believe it. This wasn’t supposed to happen to people like me.

The burning question of our day: If America is truly the hated place Barack Hussein Obama has worked to make it for five and a half interminably long years, then why are tens of thousands of Central Americans flooding its southern borders?

When Barack Hussein Obama finally leaves office—as he someday must—he will be openly ridiculed as ‘The President Who Could Not Fundamentally Transform America’. People will never forget that for all of his false bravado, for all of his whistling past the cemeteries of the War Dead, that he failed to accomplish what he so arrogantly boasted to fawning celebrity groupies at Columbia, Mo, on Oct. 30, 2008: “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.”
