Random links of interest, concern or curiosity from the past week or so, that deserve at least a SHORT mention:

 
As the most deceitful administration ever, moves on to tackle the “immigration crisis,” here are a couple reality checks ~
Refresher course: When White House promises immigration “background checks,” they lie ~ Michelle Malkin has been chronicling the shamnesty falsehoods for years.

Amnesty for UnAmerica ~ Sultan Knish, on how those who “broke” the system have no intention of actually fixing it ~

Our immigration system is not based on opportunity. It’s based on a migratory flow of Democratic Party voters […]
 
If the immigration system is to work again, it should work for America… not for Obama.

And then there’s this bit of news ~
ICE readies 2,400 beds for new spring surge of illegal immigrants through Texas ~

In advance of the president’s new pro-immigrant announcement set for Thursday night, ICE is readying its strategy for next year when over 100,000 illegals are expected to flood over the U.S.-Mexico border.

Sure thing. Just keep em coming!

 
Bill Clinton Is an Alleged Rapist, Too. Why Aren’t You Outraged About That? ~ A tale of two Bills ~

Liberals don’t care that Cosby raped someone (allegedly) because if they did they’d care that Clinton raped someone (allegedly). What they care about is the opportunity to finally avenge their politically correct sensibilities, after Cosby spent several years audaciously telling black people to be accountable for their actions and stop blaming the white man for everything.
 
If he’d never exposed himself as an apostate of the Church of Liberalism, and instead stuck to Clinton’s strategy of exposing himself to White House volunteers, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

Leftie outrage is nothing if not selective.
 
Here’s more proof ~

Study: Nearly 36 million slaves around the world ~

…it appears that preventing slavery is not high on the agenda of most governments. In some countries, the government almost certainly looks the other way. Until every country takes the problem seriously, millions of people will suffer for their indifference.

Somehow this tragedy is never a cause célèbre for the Leftists and their race-baiting associates… Weird huh?

 
Wind Firm Sues to Block Release of Bird-Death Data ~

A company (Pacificorp of Portland, Oregon – owned by Berkshire Hathaway) that operates at least 13 wind-energy facilities across three states is suing in federal court to block the U.S. government from releasing information to The Associated Press about how many birds are found dead at its facilities.

Hmmmm… Could it be that wind turbines aren’t quite as environmentally-friendly as the greens would like us to believe?
 
Racial Quota Punishment ~ Redistributing punishment – regardless of guilt.
Earth-to-Minneapolis: you can’t legislate reality away ~

Under an implicit threat of losing their federal subsidies, the Minneapolis Public Schools have agreed to reduce the disparity in punishment of black students by 25 percent by the end of this school year, and then by 50 percent, 75 percent and finally 100 percent in each of the following years. In other words, there are now racial quota limits for punishment in the Minneapolis schools […]
 
The people in the Obama administration who are pushing this counterproductive policy are not stupid. They are political, which is worse. They know what they are doing and they are willing to sacrifice young blacks to do it.

The brand of racial justice advanced by Barack Obama and Eric Holder is good for no one – least of all those whom they purport to be helping.

 
Woman Who Proclaimed Jesus During Islamic Prayer Service at National Cathedral: I Love Muslims ~

“For those that say this is a country of freedom of religion, then I say let’s play fair,” she said. “Let us have a Bible study in their mosque. Let me pass out the Bible tracts at their mosque instead of having the police called out on me. Why can’t Franklin Graham go into the biggest mosque in Dearborn, Michigan, and hold a prayer vigil on Easter Sunday there? They will not allow it because they are not tolerant of us. They wanted nothing to do with Christianity.” […]
 
“When are we going to stand up and fight? I don’t think God meant for His people to just lay back and do nothing.”

Christine Weick reminds me of the little German lady, Heidi Mund, earlier this year. There’s that White Rose again…

Gush Etzion Residents Form Human Chain in Response to Terror ~

Many Israelis choose to react to increasing terror attacks with steadfast solidarity.

Thousands of people made a human chain in Gush Etzion Tuesday, joining hands on the road between the town of Kfar Etzion and the Gush Etzion junction in the wake of Tuesday’s massacre in Har Nof…
