Obama's "Buy American" protectionism policies have forced America's long time allies to pursue business opportunities else where. Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper's administration inks another trade deal, this one with Jordan. Here's the official press release: Canada Introduces Implementing Legislation for Free Trade Agreement with Jordan The Honourable Gerry Ritz, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food and Minister for the Canadian Wheat Board, on behalf of the Honourable Stockwell Day, Minister of International Trade and Minister for the Asia-Pacific Gateway, today introduced legislation to implement the Canada-Jordan free trade agreement (FTA) and related agreements on labour cooperation and the environment. “Farmers know that ...
The Tea Party Movement was supposed to die. But it isn’t dead. Instead it has grown nationally and internationally. Then it was supposed to be dismissed, ignored, or mocked. When that didn't happen, it was supposed to be shunned because, as President Bill Clinton inferred, it was populated by potential domestic terrorists, like the wretched Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh -- except the Tea Party rallies have been peaceful, except for some violence on the left. Now, Playboy shreds the narrative even further in “Rogues of K Street: Confessions of a Tea Party Consultant,” penned by Anonymous that appears ...
Today on this day, March 29, 1973, the last troops pulled out of South Vietnam. On November 18, 2008, I reported on William Ayers, the unrepentant Weather Underground terrorist and his role in the anti-Vietnam war movement and his subsequent re-entry on the national scene as a “peaceful” terrorist. It seemed fitting to run it again today, so here it is. In the re-release of William Ayers’ book, Fugitive Days, the unrepentant Weather Underground terrorist revealed that he and President-elect Barack Obama are “family friends.” Last Friday Ayers appeared on ABC’s Good Morning America reinventing himself as a peaceful anti-war ...
As Big Government reported here, the Clintonistas have reunited to take down the tea party movement. The same tactics they used in the 1990’s to keep the Clintons in power are now being used to keep the Democrats in power. It was only a matter of time when President Bill Clinton would fire a round to vilify the tea party movement. That time has come. It happened last week when the former President used the 15th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing, where 168 men, women and children were killed, to smear the tea party participants. In a New York ...
With the passage of Obamacare, Democrats, assisted by the media, have been claiming that participants in the Tea Party Movement are behind a rash of harassment, racism, and violence against them. But their allegations are being debunked. See here, here and here. Once again, Americans are being pitted against Americans, irrespective of the truth, at a level we have not seen since the Clinton era. The significant difference, however, is under the Obama Administration, instead of singling out individuals to target, smear and destroy; entire segments of Americans are under attack. As Big Government reported, the Clintonistas have reunited to take down ...
Despite facing a violent if not deadly crackdown at the hands of Iran’s murderous Regime, on the one-year anniversary of the Green Movement in the Islamic Republic of Iran, brave Iranians have taken to the streets in protest. CNN reporting: Clashes erupt in Iran as night falls on election anniversary Tehran, Iran -- Saturday began with calm on the streets of Tehran but clashes erupted later in the day between Iran's security forces and crowds of people gathering at the key sites to mark the first anniversary of a contested presidential election. The first clashes Saturday were reported at about 6 p.m. as ...
Last Thursday President Obama acknowledged during his speech on comprehensive immigration reform that under Washington’s failed leadership legal immigration had become a fallacy, as we have been reporting here and here. As the President stated, “More fundamentally, the presence of so many illegal immigrants makes a mockery of all those who are going through the process of immigrating legally. Indeed, after years...

Tomorrow morning, July 1, President Obama will deliver remarks on the need to fix America’s broken immigration system. Undoubtedly, millions of illegal aliens, and those people who are thinking about jumping the border will be listening intently to make plans. But the largely ignored legal immigrants will also be listening in hopes for legal immigration reform. I am referring to the legal immigrants who followed America’s... Read More
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg might want to retool some of his immigration reform initiatives within his new national coalition, the Partnership for a New American Economy, and team up with Arizona Governor Jan Brewer to tell the federal government to “do their job.” Why? Because the Mayor’s idea to give immigrant investors green cards to create jobs for Americans already exists. It’s called the EB-5... Read More
With a stroke of a pen, will President Barack Obama deem a path to citizenship, ah hem, amnesty as the nation’s latest new law for an estimated 12-20 million illegal aliens by using his executive powers? According to Numbers USA, “a non-partisan site, that has “Democrats, Republicans, Reformers and Independents” among their “advisors” and in their “offices,” that’s precisely what seven senators...

More news that radical Islamic terrorists are exploiting the immigration crisis, not only at America’s broken immigration agency, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, but at the borders as well. According to Fox News, “The Department of Homeland Security is alerting Texas authorities to be on the lookout for a suspected member of the Somalia-based Al Shabaab terrorist group who might be...

At a press conference last Wednesday with Mexican President Felipe Calderon, President Barack Obama said his administration was taking a “very close look” at Arizona’s new anti-illegal immigration law, “for any implications, especially for civil rights.” So while the Obama Administration looks at civil rights implications, the big question to ask is will they also look at the implications of the radical...

Under a bombardment of condemnation, Arizona has taken action to address illegal immigration and is fighting back by telling Washington to “do your job.” Meanwhile, on Sunday President Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder said that the Justice Department was “considering” a federal lawsuit against Arizona’s new immigration law. How did the immigration crisis occur? It happened because Washington didn’t... Read More
Last week President Obama met with Sen. Chuck Schumer D-N.Y. and Sen. Lindsey Graham R- S.C. to discuss passing comprehensive immigration reform. What is known is that a path to citizenship for illegal aliens is part of their plan but what is unknown is how “reform” affects legal immigration. Using the “Comprehensive Immigration Reform for America’s Security and Prosperity Act of 2009” (CIR-ASAP), introduced... Read More
Last Thursday President Obama, whose commitment to comprehensive immigration reform is “unwavering,” met with Sen. Chuck Schumer D-N.Y. and Sen. Lindsey Graham R- S.C. to discuss a proposed bill to fix the broken immigration system. While the details remain somewhat elusive, according to the Los Angles Times: “The basis of a bill would include a path toward citizenship for the 10.8 million people living in the... Read More
My first article at Tucker Carlson’s new The Daily Caller. Last month immigration reform, one of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s “10 most important legislative priorities,” took another step forward when Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) unveiled the “Comprehensive Immigration Reform for America’s Security and Prosperity Act of 2009.” Over 85 house Democrats have co-sponsored his bill. Gutierrez’s... Read More
On November 2, I reported on the upcoming Teaparties Against Amnesty here. Below is a video showing violence that broke out during one of the protests. The video is from Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC), the protest organizers. Read More →
Media Matters is taking credit for Lou Dobb’s abrupt resignation from CNN yesterday. Below is the text from an email the non-profit group, headed up by ex-Conservative insider, David Brock, sent out to their supporters. According to his bio, Brock “currently serves on the board of The Progressive Legislative Action Network, an organization created to support progressive state legislators.” The subject line reads:...
