Laura will not be invited back after that beatdown. “The elites in Washington” as she points to Georgie Will. He was completely out of his league as you saw the GOPe get taken to school. What about the average Americans? Who represents them?

[tcrlaf]

Subject of NBC’s Meet-the-presstitutes:

BASHING PUTIN....
The Queers at gay-run MBC really do hate him for making Obama look like an idiot.

“Russia is a totalitarian nation!”
REALLY?????

[Bernard]

Nah...just think Igor Sikorsky, Lech Walesa, and of course POLISH SAUSAGE!

There's also a Pope in there, and Stan Musial.

[rodguy911]

Doubtful if you had heard this clown from the environmental “kill all drilling” group on c-spam this morning. They are hard and fast about killing Keystone. I doubt zero will let it pass.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Ironically, Wallace called Will a staunch conservative.

Well, that contrived perception got laid to waste didn't it.

Heh heh heh.

Way to go Laura!

[kabar]

Laura did well, but she made a couple of missteps. First, we don't need more legal immigration, we need far less. Second, Laura conceded that there have been record deportations under Obama, but there haven't. It has been less, but Obama has been fudging the figures counting people caught at the border and sent back as deportations. It is another scam. She should read this:

Deportation Numbers Unwrapped Raw Statistics Reveal the Real Story of ICE Enforcement in Decline

This report examines data from a collection of mostly unpublished internal Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and ICE statistics, to provide an alternative evaluation of the administration’s record on immigration enforcement that is based on raw statistics rather than pre-packaged press kits. These statistics show that, contrary to what is commonly believed, in fact immigration enforcement in the interior has slowed significantly in the last few years. ICE is arresting and removing noticeably fewer illegal aliens from the interior now than was the case five years ago, and even two years ago. Its focus has shifted away from interior enforcement in favor of processing aliens who are apprehended by the Border Patrol.

While the agency claims that it has stewarded resources effectively by guiding agents to hone in on criminals, in fact the number of criminal aliens removed from the interior also has declined, even as ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations division (ERO) is notified of more arrested criminal aliens than ever before, through the Secure Communities program. These statistics stand in stark contrast to claims of “record deportations,” which largely have been taken at face value by the news media and many lawmakers.

The report also presents previously unpublished statistics disclosing the startlingly large number of cases on ICE’s post-final-order docket of aliens who have been ordered removed, but who remain living here in defiance of immigration enforcement. These “non-departed” illegal aliens are emblematic of the dysfunction in our immigration system, and must become a priority for enforcement before public trust in our system can be restored.

Key Findings:

The number of deportations resulting from interior enforcement by ICE declined by 19 percent from 2011 to 2012, and is on track to decline another 22 percent in 2013.

In 2012, the year the Obama administration claimed to break enforcement records, more than one-half of removals attributed to ICE were the result of Border Patrol arrests that would never have been counted as a removal in prior years. In 2008, under the Bush administration, only one-third of removals were from Border Patrol arrests.

Total deportations in 2011, the latest year for which complete numbers are available, numbered 715,495 – the lowest level since 1973. The highest number of deportations on record was in 2000, under the Clinton administration, when 1,864,343 aliens were deported.

When claiming record levels of enforcement, the Obama administration appears to count only removals, which are just one form of deportation, and only a partial measure of enforcement. Beginning in 2011, a shift of some of the routine Border Patrol case load to ICE enabled the administration to count an artificially high number of removals.

Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the division of ICE that is responsible for work site enforcement, combating transnational gangs, overstay enforcement, anti-smuggling and trafficking activity, and busting document and identity theft rings, now contributes very little to immigration enforcement. In 2013 HSI has produced only four percent of ICE deportations, making just a few thousand arrests per year throughout the entire country.

ICE is doing less enforcement with more resources. Despite reporting more encounters in 2013 than 2012, ICE agents pursued deportation of 20 percent fewer aliens this year than last.

Enforcement activity declined in every ICE field office from 2011 to 2013, with the biggest declines in the Atlanta, Salt Lake City, Washington DC/Virginia, and Houston field offices.

Criminal alien arrests declined by 11 percent from 2012 to 2013, despite the completion of the Secure Communities program, which generates more referrals of arrested aliens than ever before. ICE agents took a pass on hundreds of thousands of aliens who were arrested by local authorities in those years.

ICE is carrying a case load of 1.8 million aliens who are either in removal proceedings or have already been ordered removed. Less than two percent are in detention, which is the only proven way to ensure departure.

As of the end of July 2013 there were 872,000 aliens – nearly half of ICE’s total docket – who had been ordered removed but who had not left the country.

The State Department continues to issue tens of thousands of visas annually to citizens of countries that refuse to take back their countrymen who are ordered removed from the United States. Many of these are violent criminals.

Thanks for the information on Ingraham v. Will and Juan. I’ve been avoiding FNS for a few weeks because it’s been so predictable. I’ll watch it today for the fireworks.

[bray]

You nailed it Gritty! At the heart of this battle is the same one that has been going on since creation. Man is inherently evil and they are promoting that evilness for their own gains.

To eliminate the church would and always has been their ultimate goal. Every communist society is atheistic for a reason and that is to make your leaders into godlike images. Homosexual marriage is their tool to close down the churches.

[rodguy911]

I missed that comment but heard most of the rest. The guy was lying so much, so fast it was hard to keep up. "97% of scientists think global warming is settled science",on and on and on, tar sands are the dirtiest oil on the planet--why the hell does he think the pipeline goes to Texas where it is refined? Just plain idiots.

Whether the pipeline goes to Vancouver and then to China or Texas and than where ever its another million barrels per day on the market which will not increase but decrease the price of oil.What a putz.

[maica]

After the SOTU the Republicans met for a retreat on the Eastern Shore of MD. Boehner and the rest of the ‘leadership’ heard from the ‘rank and file’ Representatives. I don’t think that Rush is responsible for the change in plans re immigration reform. It was those men and women elected by TEA party conservatives who convinced Boehner to say what he said about Obama.

Of course any victory, no matter how small, for the real conservatives will not be reported in the press.

[rodguy911]

Is oil still “as” dirty if it is refined?

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Laura will not be invited back after that beatdown.

Oh, I don't know, she fills in for Ted Baxter frequently, she needs her own FNC show.

They should shift the panel further to the right, with Brit, Laura Ingrahm, retaining Will and Juan for targets, and fogedabout those other mealymouthed side-guests, like Bayh and those mousey girls.

[rodguy911]

Great catch its a shame Laura can’t take over bad bills show.

[kabar]

Will is just spouting the Chamber of Commerce line. His biggest whopper was that that more immigration would save SS. Robert Rector's study of just legalizing the 11.5 million lawbreakers would cost $6.3 trillion over their lifetimes.

The Fiscal Cost of Unlawful Immigrants and Amnesty to the U.S. Taxpayer

[bray]

He has to promote the fraud that 97% of scientists agree on the settled science to count CO2 as a pollutant. That 97% is from a poll at a Global Warming retreat attended by Global Warming scientists. It was more likely 100% and they fudged it down.

The actual number now is likely down around 50-60% and most of those are paid by the gummit through research grants which they get to personally keep a certain percentage.

[maica]

And we must remember the oil spill in the Gulf, crude - but so pure that it dissipated by natural means - good ol’ Mother Nature handling an organic substance in an organic way.

The beaches, marshes, bird and sea life back to normal in quick time, so again — not reported! The facts would upset the approved narrative.

[DanZ]

“Sometimes when I see clowns like that Gene Kaparski on TV it’s embarrassing to be Polish.”

People are the same everywhere. Stalinist, Communist, Dictatorial propaganda apparatchiks exist everywhere. Just look at the Democrats

Oh, and lets not forget Fat boy in New Jersey and the Ass running for Dem. governor of Florida

[bray]

Not only that, the year after the spill they had a record catch of fish. Turns out the ocean thrives on oil and stimulates certain growths as it is always seeping into the ocean from the ocean floor.

[DanZ]

“RFK, Jr. told Andrea Mitchell that the Keystone oil was dirtier than other conventional fuels. “

Why Yes, it is TRUE, RFK Jr. like the rest of the Kennedy clan do have Dirty Minds. After all they come from a long line of Irish Mafia

[Seattle Conservative]

Hi Morgan,

Sorry for you about the Broncos loss last week, but very happy for my team and me :-)

Best,
