Just One Big 'Community With a Border Going Through It'
As expected, Nancy Pelosi visited our southern border, viewed the facilities where thousands of illegal alien children have been crammed together for months, heard about the impact the invasion of illegal immigrants, drug criminals, jihadists and who knows who else have had on American towns, and promptly proclaimed the chaos a wonderful "opportunity."
"This is a community with a border going through it. And this crisis — that some call a 'crisis' — we have to view as an opportunity," Pelosi said at her press conference in Texas.
If by "opportunity" she means a chance to use innocent children as pawns in a Democratic Party-White House scheme to utterly destroy the character and ultimately viability of America as a nation of laws, liberty and prosperity, then yeah, you can see how it could be seen as an opportunity.
Because that's certainly what the Left's scheme is.

The Caliphate Returns Under Obama’s Watch
A caliphate — a medieval-style Islamic empire led by a successor to Muhammad — has arisen for the first time in nearly 100 years in Iraq, as President Obama stands by and does nothing.
The new caliph, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
The recent takeover of Iraqi cities by ISIS, and its holding of cities in eastern Syria, has led the al-Qaida-linked group to declare a united caliphate, with their leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi the new head of the empire, or caliph. Muslims believe that the caliphs throughout history have been legitimate successors to the prophet Muhammad, though they have differed in how they believe a caliph should be chosen.
The rise of a new caliph has long been a dream of Islamists around the globe, ever since the last one was legally disbanded by Turkey in 1924. A caliph will undoubtedly serve as a rallying figure for the forces of radical Islam.
It was an event that had been foreseen by many people. ISIS, al-Qaida, the Muslim Brotherhood and all the rest of the terrorist groups have never tried to hide the fact that a caliphate was their major goal, and ultimately the spread of Islam throughout the world.
While the U.S. under President Bush fought hard to defeat al-Qaida and replace Saddam Hussein with a government formed along democratic principles, President Obama must own this utter failure of U.S. foreign policy.

Google Wants to be Everybody's Mommy -- So Stand Up for Children
That's the sort of thing moms are supposed to tell their little children. It's an important task because it helps children learn to avoid danger and helps instill something called "common sense" in adults.
Google thinks your mom did a cruddy job of raising you and that you are incapable of making intelligent decisions for yourself.
That's why, starting in September, Google will ban ads for guns, ammo and accessories.
Google says it wants "to keep people safe both online and offline, so [they] won't allow the promotion of some products or services that cause damage, harm, or injury."

U.N. Worried by U.S.'s Growing Pot Habit
The U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime on Thursday reported that more Americans are using marijuana because with legalization, the perception of harm associated with the drug has decreased.
According to Reuters, the report "suggests" that "liberalization may further increase its use among the young."
I think we have a winner for this month's Duh Awards.

Obama Hell-Bent on Changing Country With Amnesty
The situation at our southern border is deteriorating by the day, with more and more children, often unaccompanied, flooding across from Mexico, the Border Patrol reduced to cooking and diaper-changing, and violent drug cartels and jihadists taking advantage of the distraction.
Only a true leader, dedicated to upholding our laws while acting with compassion could resolve this situation.
This looks like a job for a hypocrite.
Fortunately, Nancy Pelosi is en route.

Despite Supreme Court Smackdown, Obama Won’t Stop
Less than a day after the Supreme Court ruled unanimously that Obama’s use of recess appointment powers was unconstitutional, the White House was still threatening to use executive action to install amnesty if Congress doesn’t roll over and go along with the president’s plan.
“We’re not just going to sit around and wait interminably for Congress,” said Press Secretary Josh Earnest during an interview on MSNBC. “We’ve been waiting a year already. The president has tasked his Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson with reviewing what options are available to the president, what is at his disposal using his executive authority to try to address some of the problems that have been created by our broken immigration system.”
The Supreme Court’s ruling can’t help but bolster Speaker of the House John Boehner’s effort to sue the president for his imperial abuse of his authority. But even on the point, Obama remains defiant, telling George Stephanopolous, “I’m not going to apologize for trying to do something while they’re doing nothing.”
