Conservative bloggers went wild Monday when they got wind of the Congressional Black Caucus’ suggestion that President Obama pick Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee of Houston for the post of Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.
Rich Cooper, avid blogger for Security Debrief, responded to the news of the Jackson Lee recommendation in a post by saying, “Apparently, it is not a joke. For reasons that baffle any sense of reality, it is a serious gesture on the part of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) to encourage President Obama to nominate Rep. Jackson Lee as a replacement for outgoing-DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano.”
A letter dated July 25 and signed by CBC Chairwoman Rep. Marcia Fudge, an Ohio Democrat, urges President Barack Obama to consider Jackson Lee for the position formerly held by Janet Napolitano, the first woman to hold the position. Napolitano resigned earlier this month to become president of the University of California.
“Representative Jackson Lee would serve as an effective DHS Secretary because she understands the importance of increasing border security and maintaining homeland security,” the nomination letter reads.

“Where can I get one of dim silencers for my shotgun?” -—said at Denton, TX gunshow with MSM in tow to show the ease of which to buy silencers (Suppressors under NFA 1934) at a gunshow without ID or paperwork.
LOL!!
My dog has a higher IQ than that mobile steaming cow pie.
Jackson Lee made three unsuccessful attempts at local judgeships before becoming a municipal judge from 1987 to 1990.[3] Jackson Lee, along with Sylvia Garcia, was appointed by then Mayor of Houston Kathy Whitmire. In 1989 she won the at-large position for a seat on the Houston City Council, serving until 1994.[3] While on the city council, Jackson Lee helped pass a safety ordinance that required parents to keep their guns away from children.[4] She also worked for expanded summer hours at city parks and recreation centers as a way to combat gang violence
IIRC, SJL and posse went to a gun show in Texas years back with the express purpose of purchasing suppressors, or silencers, which are Class lll items [heavily taxed & regulated] and was rebuffed at every turn...
And the Black Panthers will get cabinet status!!!
. Let's not kid ourselves, if the current crop of spineless republicans has anything to say about it the heroine of Benghazi, the Hilldebeest, is a shoe in for 2016. But, then again, "What difference does it make?"
Holy Shite!
She’s not qualified or smart enough to clean Chuck-E-Cheese.
How about Hank [Guam tipping over] Johnson (d) GA, instead. You can’t make this stuff up award of the day. Their voters should be so embarrassed that they should never show their face in public again.
Now, that IS funny!!!!
Not no, but HELL NO!
The CBC is becoming a caricature.
Me too.
My Great Dane would be perfect for this job. She is really in to home security. I’m sure she could secure the homeland better than the congresswoman.
I fully support SJL for director of homeland security — for Mars.
From everything I have read about the Congresswoman, she would be ideal for the Obama cabinet. She embodies perfectly the administration’s commitment to the long-term welfare of the country.
