In my small slice of the Republican Party (Republican Women of Williamson County), most of the women are very angry about the “Immigration” reform bill (s.1348).  They are tired of the Republican National Party promoting what we consider to be RINO’s.  Most of us stopped donating to “The Party” and only donate to the candidate.  […]

Every story I’ve heard about the man in Federal quarantine is the dangerous strain of TB which he has.  Yet, how would anyone know if they came into contact with him since there’s no name or picture of the man.  The man was flying internationally to get married!  If he got married hasn’t he already […]

From Atlas Shrugged:
If the Muslims get away with this “test case”, it will shut us all down. The intrepid blogger and PI (and valued Atlas source) has been sued for publishing stories about Muslims with ties to Islamic terror. News stories already published in the mainstream media. Warner obviously hit a nerve. This is the […]

This should be required reading for all those Senators in D.C. who seem to think putting panties on the heads of Al Qaeda prisoners is torture.  Treating these animals as though they are signators of the Geneva Convention is beyond ridiculous or that the US to not use water-boarding as an interrogation tool will prevent  […]

This is really cool!
Web site releases more than 90 million names from war records, including 2,000 who died in Iraq
For every generation in this country there has been a war. And with wars come millions of records that can shed light on family history, detailing everything from the color of soldiers’ eyes to what their […]

Sen. Bob Corker is on the Ralph Bristol talk radio program right now.  He just stated that he would vote against this bill in it’s current form.  He stated that any illegal alien currently in the country could come forth and get a Z visa with no intention of ever applying for a green card […]

I couldn’t resist posting about this.  It seems somewhat voyeuristic but is this something the military should be concerning itself with?  Just reading it has the ewww factor.

FYI - Truth Laid Bear has converted the draft immigration bill from pdf to an online browsing format with a linked table of contents.
Also, if you’re really into pain and suffering the Senate will be attempting to bring a vote for cloture this afternoon so the debate can begin.  I’m sure it will be on […]

Due to the Milblog Conference and changing over to a new laptop I’ve been remiss in mentioning reports from Stone Cold at the Ice Blog.
He’s got a great post up on thwarting a rocket attack and finding a weapons cache plus they went out on patrol and visited an Iraqi school.
Good Stuff!

From David Axe of Military.com:
The factory initiative, led by Deputy Under-Secretary of Defense for Business Transformation Paul Brinkley, is part of a renewed emphasis on reconstruction and other economic assistance that complements the “surge” of an additional 20,000 U.S. troops into Baghdad.
“The task force has performed over 60 detailed assessments to date,” according to a […]

Just in case you missed Steyn’s column:
Capitulation, from A—— to Z
But, as John McCain declared, “This is what the legislative process is all about” — and in the sense that it’s a sloppily drafted bottomless pit of unintended consequences on a potentially cosmic scale whose sweeping “reforms” will inevitably require even more sweeping reforms of […]

FAIR gives us some details on the Z visa contained in the Senate immigration bill (S.1348).
However, the details of this Senate compromise prove that it is nothing more than an amnesty. The language creates a “Z” visa program for illegal aliens and illegal aliens only. Specifically, the Senate deal:

Provides that Z visas last for 4 […]

This is another example of McCain’s temper tantrums.
From NYPost:

In a heated dispute over immigration-law overhaul, McCain screamed,
“F- - - you!” at Texas Sen. John Cornyn, who had been raising concerns
about the legislation.
“This is chickens- - - stuff,” McCain
snapped at Cornyn, according to several people in the room off the
Senate floor Thursday. “You’ve always […]
