Republican Congressman Lies – Says 10 ISIS Members Were Caught on US Border

The Congressman, Rep. Duncan Hunter, went on Fox News and broke the news to the United States and to the world, that ISIS is not only working hard to gain access to the US homeland, in fact says Hunter, they already have gained access and “at least 10” ISIS members were caught while crossing the southern border!

Be afraid America, be very afraid!

“ISIS doesn’t have a navy, they don’t have an air force, they don’t have nuclear weapons,” he added. “The only way that ISIS is going to harm Americans is by coming through the southern border – which they already have.“

“If you really want to protect Americans from ISIS, you secure the southern border — it’s that simple,” the San Diego Republican said. “They caught them at the border, therefore we know that ISIS is coming across the border. If they catch five or 10 of them then you know there’s going to be dozens more that did not get caught by the border patrol.”

When pushed by the Fox Host to explain how he got the information, Hunter said that a border patrol agent told him about the capture. Of course, ICE – Immigration Customs Enforcement – has already called the Republican congressman a liar, saying that there has been no such capture at any US border, but that is not going to stop people like Rep. Duncan Hunter from jumping on an opportunity to scare the American people into electing Republicans to close the border that Obama apparently opened. We all know there was not an opened border with Republicans ran the show!

Republicans have used every issue to try and scare Americans and blaming Democrats and the President for ISIS is no different. The terrorist group is a prime target for the Republican party trying to win the Senate in November 2014, and everything the terrorists do, is of course, Obama’s fault.

They claim the president is to be blamed for the development of the group and that the president is not securing the border. So joining the two issues – ISIS and The Border – just makes perfect sense for the opportunistic Republican. It is apparently the Democrats fault that the imaginary ISIS members are coming through the border to kill you as you sleep!

Republican Lawmakers Suing The Voters of Arizona

Republicans are so thirsty for power that they are taking the people of Arizona all the way to the Supreme Court.

Arizona voters formed an independent commission to handle all the redistricting in the state. Their goal was to take the politics out of the process and have districts drawn in a more transparent manner.

But the Republican-led state legislature couldn’t allow the people to make that decision. Drawing districts in their favor is a great way for them to maintain control, so these Republicans took the people to court stating that according to the constitution, they are the ones to draw the maps.

The lawsuit was dismissed by the lower courts, but on Thursday, the Supreme Court said that it will look at the merits of the case.

If the power hungry Republicans in Arizona win their suit against the people of that state, it can set a precedent for other states with independent commissions to follow suit.

Suing the people who voted you into office? Yeah, you can’t get any more Republican than that.

Bloomberg news is reportinh that Thomas Eric Duncan, the first person diagnosed with Ebola in the U.S., died from the virus while in isolation at a Dallas hospital.

He was brought back to the hospital in an ambulance two days later.

Former Republican Director Wants to Kill All Ebola Victims

The former Executive Director of the South Carolina Republican party explained his plan for ebola victims here in these United States – kill them all!

The Republican took to twitter over the weekend and tweeted a bunch of hateful messages for all to see, explaining that your punishment for contracting the disease should be capital punishment.

“People with Ebola in the US need to be humanely put down immediately,” Todd Kincannon said.

The Republican’s venom continued to be unleashed: “The protocol for a positive Ebola test should be immediate execution and sanitation of the whole area. That will save lives,” he said in another tweet. Then he blamed the spread of Ebola on the people of Africa for: “Eating each other.”

When someone pointed out that not all ebola victims die, and asked if he would also kill the NBC cameraman being treated for the disease, the pro-life Republican answered, “with zero hesitation. ”

Police Breaks Car Window to Tase Passenger For Not Wearing a Seat belt – Video

‘To Protect and To Serve’ was once again thrown out the window as overly aggressive police officers demands an ID from a passenger in a car, then breaks his window to tase him when he asked for their supervisor.

HAMMOND, IN — After witnessing a motorist allegedly not wearing a seatbelt, police escalated a violent confrontation to the point of shattering a window to extract a passenger when he claimed not to have an ID.

“Oh my God, he’s pulling me over like I robbed a bank,” recalled Lisa Mahone, the driver and alleged seatbelt violator. “The whole situation was just crazy.”

Ms. Mahone was riding with her boyfriend and 2 children to the hospital to see her mother, who was literally on her deathbed.

“I gave him my license and insurance. I also let him know at the beginning to please hurry up because my mom is about to die,” Ms. Mahone said.

Hammond Police, fishing for more offenses, demanded that her adult passenger, Jamal Jones, produce an identification. Mr. Jones initially declined to provide an identification, but when officers continued to insist, he opened up his backpack to look for one.

That’s when police drew their guns.

Mr. Jones requested a supervisor, and Ms. Mahone dialed 9-1-1 to describe the situation and request the same.

“I am scared. And the man–pulled a gun out. A gun! Why do my kids have to see that,” Mahone told the 9-1-1 operator.

Mr. Jones expressed reluctance to get out of the vehicle due to the officers’ aggressiveness and mentioned that “People are getting shot by the police.”

“You all got a white shirt?” Jones asked, referring to the supervisor the family had been requesting. The officer responded, “Look at my shoulder, dumbass. I got bars.”

“You’re going to come out of the car one way or another,” the officer menaced. “You want your kids to see you come out through the window?”
Shortly thereafter, the HPD officers rammed a metal object through the passenger window and began to jolt Mr. Jones with a taser. Jones was yanked from of the vehicle, and Ms. Mahone and her children were showered in shards of broken glass.

Rush Limbaugh – Obama Wants Americans Infected with Ebola Because of Slavery

Day after day, Republicans tun in by the millions to hear the things Rush Limbaugh say. Not only to hear the things he say, but also to memorize the list of new talking points from their leader with the golden mic.

On Monday, said leader with the golden mic went on a rant, stating, without facts of course, that president Obama is allowing Americans to be infected with the Ebola virus as a payback for slavery.

I know, I know, just when you think a couldn’t get any crazier, this will be the new talking point from the Republican party.

While speaking with one of the unfortunate callers on his nationally syndicated talk show, ‘the Limbaugh’ said that there are liberals who believe that America is responsible for the spread of Ebola in Liberia because that nation was established by freed American slaves.

“And if it hadn’t been for that they probably wouldn’t have [Ebola]. So there are some people who think we kind of deserve a little bit of this,” he said, before accusing elected leaders of purposely leaving the country vulnerable to the virus.

“The danger we have now is that we elected people in positions of power and authority who think this or think like this in terms of this country being responsible, this country being to blame for things and it’s that kind of thinking that leads to opposition to shutting down airports from various countries,” Limbaugh explained, referring to the Obama administration’s handling of the crisis.

“It leads to opposition to keeping these people out of the country: ‘How dare we? We can’t turn our back on them! They exist because of us. We can’t turn them away!’”

Scott Brown Now In Favor of Women’s Contraception

Scott Brown is just another Republican in the long list of Republicans going back on their former positions to win an election.

In a debate on Monday, the former Massachusetts senator said that he always supported a woman’s choice and access to contraception. This is a new position of course, because Scott Brown is one of the co-sponsors of a legislation that blocks women’s access to the same thing he now says he always supported.

“To think that I don’t support women’s rights and ability to get contraception is just a false premise,” Brown said during the debate against Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH). “I have since I was 18 years old.”

Talking Points Memo points out that the legislation Scott Walker previously sponsored, gave employers the right to take away contraception access from employees based on that employer’s belief.

But that was then and this is now. And according to Scott Walker’s new position, that legislation he recently co-sponsored happened before he turned 18.

Judge’s Rule – Ferguson Police Violated the Rights of Protesters in Ferguson

 

Chief U.S. District Judge Catherine D. Perry who sits on the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, dropped a bomb on the Ferguson Police Department today, informing the group that they have violated the constitutional rights of the people of Ferguson MO, and she especially focused on the order by police for the protesters to “keep moving.“

“The evidence from plaintiff’s witnesses shows that the police, including those from St. Louis County, told many people who were either peacefully assembling or simply standing on their own that they would be arrested if they did not keep moving,” wrote Perry, who sits on the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri. “Some law enforcement officers told people that they could stand still for no more than five seconds. Others gave instructions that people were walking too slowly, or that they could not walk back and forth in a small area. Some law enforcement officers did not make people keep moving, others did. Some officers applied the strategy to reporters, others did not. Many officers told people who were standing in small groups on the sidewalks during the daytime hours that they would be arrested if they did not keep moving.”

Perry ruled that individuals who wished to gather “in the wake of Michael Brown’s tragic death have a constitutional right to do so.” She also noted that “they do not have the right to endanger lives of police officers or other citizens.” She said that nothing in her order restricted the ability of police officers to do their jobs.

New Poll – Alison Lundergan Grimes Overtakes Mitch McConnell in Kentucky

(AP Photo/Stephen Lance Dennee)

Maybe the voters in Kentucky are smarter than we thought. They kept voting for Mitch McConnell election after election, sending him back to Congress even when it was clear the Republican did nothing for the state. So maybe in this cycle these voters were just pulling our legs all along. According to a new poll, these voters now favor Alison Grimes.

We can all exhale, although, briefly!

After two polls in his favor, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has slipped behind Democratic challenger Alison Lundergan Grimes in his re-election bid, according to the latest Bluegrass Poll.

Grimes, Kentucky’s secretary of state, now leads the five-term senator 46 percent to 44 percent among likely voters, the survey found. Libertarian candidate David Patterson had 3 percent support in the poll, while 7 percent of likely voters said they were undecided.

While Grimes’ advantage is within the poll’s margin of error, it represents a 6-point swing to the Democrat since the survey was last conducted in late August.

Republican Senate Candidate – Outsourcing, “I’m proud of it”

Proud of taking American jobs and outsourcing them to other countries. This Republican Senate candidate is only saying out loud what that the rest of the Republican Party say in secret.

U.S. Senate candidate David Perdue said Monday he is proud of outsourcing he has done in his career as a corporate executive, pushing blame for lost jobs back on Washington.

Perdue, a former CEO for Dollar General and Republican nominee to replace retiring Sen. Saxby Chambliss, was stung by his own words last week in an article on Politico.com. The Washington political news website quoted Perdue from a 2005 deposition where he said he “spent most of my career” outsourcing.

“Defend it? I’m proud of it,” he said in a press stop at The White House restaurant in Buckhead. “This is a part of American business, part of any business. Outsourcing is the procurement of products and services to help your business run. People do that all day.”
