A HUGE Victory For The Rule Of Law Over Obama’s Illegal Amnesty

TPNN
Tea Party News Network


By Matthew Burke— Late Monday, the State of Texas won an injunction against Obama’s illegal amnesty, when a federal judge ruled that the scheme must be halted, at least temporarily.

While coming short of calling Obama’s illegal amnesty unconstitutional, which it clearly is since only Congress can make or change laws, Judge Andrew Hanen said it shouldn’t take effect until all of the legal challenges have been properly addressed.

On the eve of implementation of Obama’s amnesty, a power he previously argued 22 times, in his own words, that he did not have, Judge Hannen, in a 123-page ruling, indicated that once taxpayers begin funding Obama’s illegal amnesty, there is virtually no way to go back.

“Once these services are provided, there will be no effective way of putting the toothpaste back in the tube should the plaintiffs ultimately prevail,” Judge Hanen wrote, according to the Houston Chronicle.

Newly-elected Texas Governor Greg Abbott, the leader of one of the 25 other states to challenge Obama’s unconstitutional amnesty, said in a statement about the ruling:

“Judge Hanen’s decision rightly stops the president’s overreach in its tracks. We live in a nation governed by a system of checks and balances, and the president’s attempt to bypass the will of the American people was successfully checked today.”

A multitude of recent polls show that the Democrat Party’s scheme to import unskilled government-dependent foreigners, simply to garner votes at the expense of hard-working American taxpayers, remains highly unpopular, even polls by the leftstream media.

Americans were recently outraged to learn that the Obama IRS would be dolling out tax refunds or “retroactive amnesty bonuses” to illegal alien non-citizens, even for prior years that they paid no taxes. ...

Illegal Aliens Complaining About Life In Suburbia

News Machete — José was looking for peace and quiet, in addition to work, when he decided to settle in the hinterlands of upstate New York 14 years ago. “A lot of farmland and trees,” he recalled, speaking in Spanish. “It reminded me of my village in Mexico.”

But he quickly learned that being poor and undocumented and living far from the well-established immigrant networks found in the nation’s big cities made life especially difficult. There was the absence of public transportation (he cannot legally drive), the scarcity of lawyers with immigration expertise and a feeling of isolation fed by his inability to speak English and the lack of opportunities to learn it.

“It’s a big challenge,” said José, 38, who works on a dairy farm in Livingston County, where he lives with his wife and four children, about 230 miles from New York City. “We’re a forgotten community in terms of service.” (He asked that his last name not be published because of his immigration status.)

..And there you have it. The Illegal Aliens aren’t hiding in the shadows any more, they’re as out as Anderson Cooper, and not only that, they have a sense of entitlement. What right do they have to anything from America? They are here illegally!...

Top General: ‘Islamists Embedded In White House?’
‘The president has elected not to get serious’ on ISIS

By Greg Corombos, WND — In the wake of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, beheading 21 Coptic Christians in Libya, retired U.S. Air Force Gen. Tom McInerney is slamming the Obama administration for failing to take obvious military steps to destroy the terrorists and identify radical Islam as the motivating factor for the atrocities committed throughout the region.

McInerney is a Vietnam veteran and rose to the No. 3 position in the Air Force during his career in uniform. He is now a Fox News military analyst.

On Sunday, ISIS released a new video depicting the beheading of 21 Coptic Christians from Egypt on a beach in Libya.

U.S.-led airstrikes have been aimed at ISIS since August, after the terrorists beheaded American journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff. However, McInerney said the operations could be far more intense and would quickly cripple the enemy if done right....

BATFE To Ban Common AR-15 Ammo

In a move clearly intended by the Obama Administration to suppress the acquisition, ownership and use of AR-15s and other .223 caliber general purpose rifles, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives unexpectedly announced today that it intends to ban commonplace M855 ball ammunition as “armor piercing ammunition.” The decision continues Obama’s use of his executive authority to impose gun control restrictions and bypass Congress.



It isn’t even the third week of February, and the BATFE has already taken three major executive actions on gun control. First, it was a major change to what activities constitute regulated “manufacturing” of firearms. Next, BATFE reversed a less than year old position on firing a shouldered “pistol.” Now, BATFE has released a “Framework for Determining Whether Certain Projectiles are ‘Primarily Intended for Sporting Purposes’ Within the Meaning of 18 U.S.C. 921(a)(17)(c)”, which would eliminate M855’s exemption to the armor piercing ammunition prohibition and make future exemptions nearly impossible.

By way of background, federal law imposed in 1986 prohibits the manufacture, importation, and sale by licensed manufacturers or importers, but not possession, of “a projectile or projectile core which may be used in a handgun and which is constructed entirely . . . from one or a combination of tungsten alloys, steel, iron, brass, bronze, beryllium copper, or depleted uranium.” Because there are handguns capable of firing M855, it “may be used in a handgun.” It does not, however, have a core made of the metals listed in the law; rather, it has a traditional lead core with a steel tip, and therefore should never have been considered “armor piercing.” Nonetheless, BATFE previously declared M855 to be “armor piercing ammunition,” but granted it an exemption as a projectile “primarily intended to be used for sporting purposes.”

Now, however, BATFE says that it will henceforth grant the “sporting purposes” exception to only two categories of projectiles: NRA Visit link for more details.

‘Dictator In Chief’ Unleashes Newest Attack On Guns
Obama ‘doubles down,’ thinks ‘he can go around Congress’

By Leo Hohmann, WND — Today, it’s legal. Tomorrow, it might not be.

By executive fiat, the Obama administration intends to eliminate one of the most common types of .223-caliber ammunition, used by the AR-15 and other general-purpose rifles.

Why? Ostensibly because there’s a new type of handgun that is also capable of shooting the so-called “armor-piercing” or “green-tipped” rounds traditionally fired only by rifles.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives announced on Feb. 14 a proposed ban on the manufacture, sale or importation of a popular form of ammunition used by thousands of law-abiding gun owners. Within hours of the announcement, the prices on the green-tipped .223-caliber rounds started skyrocketing....


Pope Denounces ISIS Murder Of
Egyptian Coptic Christians

By Sarah Fisher, Ben Shapiro’s Truth Revolt — In a phone call to the Patriarch of the Coptic Orthodox Church Monday, Pope Francis denounced ISIS for murdering Egyptian Copts calling it the "barbaric assassination" of innocent Christians.

A Vatican spokesman called Pope Francis told Pope Tawadros II and expressed his "profound participation with the pain of the Coptic Church for the recent barbaric assassination of Coptic Christians by Islamic fundamentalists."

The Pope also mentioned the murders while speaking to a Scottish ecumenical delegation.

"They only said `Jesus help me ...'" said Francis. "The blood of our Christian brothers is testimony that cries out. Be they Catholic, Orthodox, Copts, Lutherans, it doesn't matter: They're Christian!"...

I Miss America

By Mike Adams, Natural News — miss the America where surveillance efforts were focused on foreign enemies rather than domestic citizens.

I miss the America where children weren't routinely kidnapped by hospitals and CPS officials because their parents wanted a second medical opinion or refused to poison their children with chemotherapy.

I miss the America where citizens respected local cops as "peace officers" and local cops existed to "protect and serve."

I miss the America where veterans were honored and celebrated rather than condemned and medically neglected.

I miss the America where openly pledging your allegiance to the United States Constitution did not result in your name being added to the FBI watch list.

I miss the America where churches believed in God rather than Government.

I miss the America that won World War II and beat back a tyrannical fascist government in the name of freedom and democracy. Today, the occupied American government has become the very same tyrannical fascist bully it once sought to defeat....

Obama’s Drone War Death Count
Surpasses Spanish Inquisition

By SM Gibson, The Anti-Media — Nobel Peace Prize winner Barack Obama’s covert drone war has done something in 6 years that it took the Spanish Inquisition 350 years to accomplish. It has killed more than 2,400 people. In fact, the president’s death count by drone has reached a staggering 2,464. The kicker is that these deaths have all occurred outside of U.S. declared war zones.

The man whom many consider the leader of the free world ironically stated last month,
“Humanity has been grappling with these questions throughout human history. Unless we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place. Remember that during the Crusades and Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ.”
The statement was said in response to the Jordanian pilot who was recently burned alive by ISIS and was intended to reference the hyperbolic western media that stirs unwarranted and reckless fears against Muslims worldwide....

How Public Schools Treat Special Needs Students:
Handcuffs, ‘Scream Rooms’ And Duct Tape

By Michael Snyder, End Of The American Dream — U.S. public schools have become houses of horror for many special needs students. According to the Virginia Commission on Youth, special needs students account for only 12 percent of all public school students in the United States, but they “represent 75 percent of those physically restrained and 58 percent of those secluded“. At some schools, physical restraints used on special needs children include handcuffs, duct tape and bungee cords. And often the scream rooms that these children are “isolated” in are so horrifying that it scars many of them for life. One of the key measures for any society is how it treats those that are most vulnerable. And the way that we are treating our special needs children is sorely lacking. Hopefully articles like this one will help bring awareness and change.

Yes, there are some education professionals that have a real heart for special needs kids and that do a great job working with them.

Unfortunately, there simply is not enough of them....

Egypt Kills The Second In Command In ISIS Libya
(The Egyptian Libyan Crisis For Dummies)

By Walid Shoebat, Shoebat Foundation — It didn’t take long for Egypt to react following the beheading of 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians by the Islamist State jihadist group (ISIS). On Monday, Egypt’s air force bombed several ISIS targets in Libya, and announced it had killed more than 40 combatants. Photos and videos taken by people at the scene and published on social networks attest to the scale of this operation. Egypt also bombed the residence of Basheer al-Darsi, the brain behind ISIS Libya and the second highest ISIS leader. But the question many also ask: how did this mess happen? How can westerners understand the Libyan Egyptian problem? So we made a summary we titled the Libya Egypt Crisis For Dummies (more on that later)....

Obama Celebrates Himself


Jesus Privately Briefing His Inner Circle of Disciples
Regarding The Last Days
And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. ~ Matthew 24:3-14
