When You Read What Sheriff Joe Said
About Obama, You’ll Want To Pack Your Bags
And Move To Arizona

Lead Story by Jennifer Burke, Tea Party News Network (TPNN) —
Sheriff Joe Arpaio, known as America’s Sheriff, is not one for mincing words when it comes to how he feels about the dangerous and disastrous presidency of Barack Obama. As the Sheriff of Maricopa County in Arizona, he deals with the illegal alien invasion of the southern border enough to know and understand the reality of the situation, not the lies the Obama regime tells.

On Monday, Sheriff Arapaio sent out an email in which he excoriated Obama for his handling, or rather failure at handling, the increasing border invasion. His words are a much needed, eye-opening, and frighteningly informative.
Our country is under attack.

And Barack Obama is the aggressor. That’s right. Our own President has overseen the release of thousands of illegal immigrants…hundreds of whom are convicted criminals – even felons, which are flooding into America.

Every day you read the newspaper or turn on the news, there is something tragic happening, something Obama says is beyond our control.

But I must tell you: the state of the U.S. – Mexican border IS NOT BEYOND OUR CONTROL. In fact, it’s one of the key places where the safety of our nation starts. AND I am working around the clock to take criminals off the streets. Will you support my reelection campaign with a $15 or more donation right now?

Every action Obama has taken since the border crisis began has led to an increase in the flood of men, women, children, AND CRIMINALS! The icing on the cake…Obama’s solution is holding events at the White House “honoring young adults who came to this country illegally.”

HE IS REWARDING CRIMINALS! We are arresting them just to have the Obama administration release them the next day!

Over the past seven months, I have compiled the statistics of over 3,000 inmates in my jail for various crimes that are here illegally. Over 36% of these illegals come back many times after they are turned over to the federal government for deportation.

But if they’re coming back at such an alarming rate, either our border is so porous or the federal government is releasing them out the back door. Either way is unacceptable! I have written every month to the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security about this and just last week I sent a letter to the Inspector General’s office asking for an investigation. You know what I got back? Nothing. Nada. Zilch.

Even the mainstream media is completely ignoring this problem.

If we lose control over our own borders and the rule of law no longer matters in the courts, then I fear our great American experiment will draw to a close. In Arizona alone, more than 1,000 illegal immigrants are being dropped off at bus stations in Phoenix and Tucson alone. We now have U.S. Border Patrol agents moving illegal immigrants from one city to another in our United States.

It’s a bad situation, but I refuse to sit back and watch it get worse. That is why I urgently need your most generous support. We must stand together in unison against Obama’s pro-amnesty regime.

**Obama golfs on vacation while the borders flood** just like **Nero fiddled while Rome burned.**
Tough words from America’s toughest Sheriff.

Please share this on Facebook and Twitter if agree with Sheriff Joe that our country is under attack and Obama is the aggressor.

James Foley Beheading Re-Enacted
By Little Girl In Disturbing Video Clip

Little over a week after the gruesome video showing the beheading of American journalist James Foley was posted on to YouTube, another symbolic video has started making the rounds of the Internet. While the video doesn’t show anyone being killed, there’s no doubt about the fact that this one is equally disturbing to watch. The video shows a little girl holding a doll and then later beheading the same while singing praises to Allah.

The video was initially posted to video sharing site LiveLeak and has since then been posted on to YouTube.

What is even more sickening about the video is that it apparently mocks the beheading of James Foley. Like Foley, the doll too is seen wearing an orange jumpsuit. The doll is then laid to the ground after which the girl simply beheads it without flinching. At this moment it’s still unclear if this is a propaganda video by ISIS, or simply the work of a deranged mind who created this simply for fun.

Meanwhile, the debate over the authenticity of the video of the beheading of James Foley rages on. While most investigators are sure that James Foley has been killed, they are not quite convinced by the video showing his beheading. They also have Abdel-Majed Abdel Bary as the main suspect who is thought to have killed Foley.

As the ISIS continues its bloody violence against anyone who do not conform to their beliefs and rules, there has been increasing appeal from the international community calling for military action against them. The U.S. did respond to the appeal and ordered limited air strikes against them. However, there is no denying the fact that a few air strikes will not damage the ISIS in a significant way.

What do you think about this latest video showing the beheading of the doll?
