Stunning: DHS solicited bids for vendor to handle 65,000 unaccompanied minors — IN JANUARY!

The bid specifics are even more suspicious:

[…] The Contractor shall provide unarmed escort staff, including management, supervision, manpower, training, certifications, licenses, drug testing, equipment, and supplies necessary to provide on-demand escort services for non-criminal/non-delinquent unaccompanied alien children ages infant to 17 years of age, seven (7) days a week, 365 days a year. Transport will be required for either category of UAC or individual juveniles, to include both male and female juveniles. There will be approximately 65,000 UAC in total: 25% local ground transport, 25% via ICE charter and 50% via commercial air.

[…] In addition, the Contractor shall have personnel who are able to communicate with juveniles in their own designated language(s).

Last week the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, through the power of Dodd-Frank, passed a rule giving the agency unprecedented power to shut down businesses, no matter what the reason, at any time it wishes through a cease-and-desist order. Further, the rule puts businesses at the mercy of the CFPB and they cannot go back into operation until government approval or a court ruling is made over an issue. Subsequently because bureaucratic decisions and court rulings take a substantial amount of time to happen, businesses cannot survive during those waiting periods.
Rest at link.

Why are we even IN the UN…???

Why are we lending credence to this farce?

n the last three weeks I have been both called and e-mailed by two different pollsters with long, detailed and expensive polls about my opinion of the credibility of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, especially on the topic of eduction.

The telephone poll focused my opinion of the expertise of and favorability towards of Melinda Gates, who they did not specifically identify as Mrs. Bill Gates. The on-line poll asked my opinion both Bill and Melinda and whether I felt the foundation could be effective in meeting its stated goals on improving education and reducing poverty. One question on the on-line poll asked me to rate how well I knew Bill, Melinda. Michelle Obama, Barack Obama. Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton. George W. Bush, Chris Christie and some figures from the world of education- Sec of Education Arne Duncan, Professor Diane Ravitch, AFT president Randi Wiengarten, NEA president Dennis Van Roekel and former chancellor of DC schools Michelle Rhee.

Neither survey specifically tied Gates and their foundation to Common Core. Indeed, the on-line survey never mentioned it. I recall the phone survey asked if I was familiar with it.

It sounds to me like the Gates Foundation might be preparing for a massive PR push.

Jason Mattera caught up with Hillary Clinton at one of the DC stops on her book tour this week, and asked the former Secretary of State if she would mind signing a copy of Hard Choices… but with a twist. “If you could make it out to Christopher Stevens,” Mattera queried. “I think you knew him.”

Christopher Stevens, of course, was the U.S. ambassador to Libya who was murdered along with three other Americans on Clinton’s watch, when Jihadists attacked two U.S. outposts in Benghazi on September 11, 2012.

Hillary, surprised by the request, replied, “Yeah, I’m not gonna make it out to Chris Stevens.” Mattera followed-up with, “What difference does it make?” a reference to Clinton’s infamous 2013 Senate testimony before the Foreign Relations Committee.

Mattera, the publisher of Daily Surge, also noted during their exchange that Hillary’s security detail appears to be larger than what Ambassador Stevens was provided in Benghazi. Clinton’s entourage filled up a town car, two SUVs, and consisted of security personnel from the building she had just exited.

“Obama: The Man Behind The Mask

The work of a socialist anarchist progressive is never done.

“I find it amazing that over and over again, intelligent Americans are astounded at the incompetence of the Obama administration…Another way to look at the results of the Obama presidency is to do just that–critically analyze the results. I believe that if you tie everything together, you will uncover an agenda that is deeply frightening and utterly treasonous….

..the agenda Obama has set is one of decline and ruin. He is settling old scores against white European colonialism… Obama is part of the hate-America crowd. He has no problem with American sacrifice being wasted. Obama is here to get as much as he can from the American people during his eight years in office. Why do you think he goes on so many vacations? He wants to transfer as much wealth as possible before his term ends. He doesn’t care if the lights eventually go out on America.

“We cannot let a minority of people — and that’s what it is, a minority of people — hold a viewpoint that terrorizes the majority of people,” Hillary Clinton said on Tuesday when asked about the gun-control debate.

She was talking about our right to keep and bear arms.

She knows exactly as much about the issues are we’ve come to expect, but she’s quite willing to take your Bill Of Rights provisions from you, as she proved in the Benghazi debacle with the First Amendment.

She has to be stopped.

No public gathering other than those organised by ISIS will be allowed at any stage. No guns will be allowed outside of its ranks.

All tribal leaders and sheikhs in the area have been warned not to co-operate with the state.

In a warning to the police, soldiers and other “kaffr” bodies the choice is to repent or face the ultimate punishment. The group said it will open “special places” for repentance.

Outlining its sectarian bias it declared all shrines, graveyards and monuments will be destroyed.

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2014/06/16/Hillary-Hamas-Officials-Largely-Technocrats

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told an audience in Toronto on Monday that she supported President Barack Obama’s decision to work with the Palestinian Authority’s new unity government, even though it includes the Hamas terror organization, because the new governing officials are “largely technocrats.”

“The rollout was touted as the best planned book tour ever, meticulously crafted by the smartest Hillary aides, publishing PR gurus, and the savviest superagents,” writes another publishing source.

“The book will probably debut on the bestseller list at number one and then fall like a rock. After the smoke clears, with tens of thousands of books sitting in warehouses collecting dust, there’ll be a lot of handwringing and probably a few people without jobs.”

Hill-larry has had a really gruesome time lately. Good thing she’s independently wealthy…

Ragspierre on June 17, 2014 at 04:01

And so the consequences of a shrunken America metastasize – from jihadist gangs in Benghazi to chemical gas attacks in Syria to the world’s wealthiest jihad state in western Iraq to nuclear ayatollahs, the biggest domino of all. Any US-Iranian deal will be like that Bergdahl/Taliban one. The purpose of “cooperation” for the mullahs would be to provide cover for getting them into Iraq, while the purpose of “cooperation” for the Obama Administration would be to provide cover for staying out. So Iranians would be on the ground in the Shia south while a few drones and whatnot would bomb the Sunni Triangle. The bombing raids would end, but the Iranians would remain. And a nuclear Iran would be born not as a global pariah but within the context of a Washington-Teheran rapprochement.

“We need scientists to design new fuels,” he said. “We need farmers to help grow them. We need engineers to invent new technologies. We need entrepreneurs to sell those technologies.

That is a litany of dangerously delusional “national imparitives” that Baracula pulled out of his “leading from behind”.

The IRS maintains an Internal Revenue Manual, and chapter 10, section 3 of that manual deals with standards for using email. Those standards, which apply to “all IRS employees,” make it clear that paper copies of all emails must be maintained.

Section 3 states that, “All federal employees and federal contractors are required by law to preserve records containing adequate and proper documentation of the organization, functions, policies, decisions, procedures, and essential transactions of the agency.”

“If you create or receive email messages during the course of your daily work, you are responsible for ensuring that you manage them properly,” it adds. “The Treasury Department’s current email policy requires emails and attachments that meet the definition of a federal record be added to the organization’s files by printing them (including the essential transmission data) and filing them with related paper records.”

According to these guidelines, an email formally becomes a federal record very easily. It just has to be created or received in the course of IRS business, is appropriate to keep as evidence of the government’s activities, or must otherwise be valuable based on the information it contains.

Section 3 also stresses that maintaining email records in a computer’s email application “does not meet the requirements of maintaining an official record.”

So, not only is it rational that all IRS emails are archived in their electronic form, but it is LAW that they be kept in paper form, too.
