D.C. Swamp Decries Sheriff Joe Arpaio's Pardon

President Donald Trump’s pardon of Sheriff Joe Arpaio exposed the disconnect between Washington D.C. and the American people at large.  Here is a statement from House Speaker Paul Ryan:

"The speaker does not agree with the decision,” Ryan's spokesman Doug Andres told The Wall Street Journal. “Law-enforcement officials have a special responsibility to respect the rights of everyone in the United States. We should not allow anyone to believe that responsibility is diminished by this pardon.”

I have news for this so-called conservative republican: illegal aliens do not have rights.  They are here illegally!  What part of illegal don’t you understand?

Here is a statement from a renowned grifter from California:

The ranking Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee Sen. Dianne Feinstein (Calif.), said on Saturday the pardon demonstrates "flagrant disregard for the rule of law in this country."

The only people who’ve demonstrated a complete disregard for the rule of law in this country are illegal aliens and the activist judge who convicted Sheriff Joe Arpaio for enforcing our laws.  

These people disgust me.

President Trump has a Duty to Pardon Sheriff Joe Arpaio

Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s conviction of criminal contempt for defying an activist judge’s order to not enforce our immigration laws is theater of the absurd.  Susan Bolton, a Clinton appointee, believes she can write, produce and direct policies with the a simple wave of a gavel.  Congress has no role in her one woman production.  Statutory law and precedent is thrown on the cutting floor.  The American people are ushered out the studio doors because this diva is obsessed with brown M & M’s.

President Donald Trump has a duty to pardon Sheriff Joe Arpaio and reinstate the rule of law.  And for those who believe the federal government is solely responsible for enforcing our immigration laws, here is an excerpt from the Washington Times:

Judge Bolton ruled, “It is not in the public interest for Arizona to enforce preempted laws,” but this is a deceptive statement. If Arizona had passed a law that defined U.S. citizenship, as Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. has disingenuously suggested, federal supremacy would apply. However, the case at hand doesn’t deal with pre-emptive law but with parallel enforcement. Arizona’s law does not define who has broken immigration laws; it deals with what to do when police apprehend these criminals.

The relevant precedent is in Gonzales v. City of Peoria (1983), in which the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit - which includes Arizona - held that “although the regulation of immigration is unquestionably an exclusive federal power, it is clear that this power does not preempt every state activity affecting aliens.” The court stated flatly that “federal law does not preclude local enforcement of the criminal provisions” of federal immigration law, and that “concurrent enforcement is authorized” when they “do not impair federal regulatory interests.”

In the same case, the court noted that federal injunctions against state law enforcement actions should be undertaken only in the most extreme circumstances and should generally exercise restraint “based on principles of equity, comity and federalism” and “consistent with these principles, federal courts may not intervene in state enforcement activities absent extraordinary circumstances that threaten immediate and irreparable injury.” The notion that the federal government would be immediately and irreparably harmed by Arizona identifying previously detained illegals is unsustainable

Allowing activist judges to criminalize politics is also unsustainable and it’s about time Congress did something about it.

A Liberal Paradise

"... A "Liberal Paradise" would be a place where everybody has guaranteed employment, free comprehensive health care, free education, free food, free housing, free clothing, free utilities, and only Law Enforcement has guns. And believe it or not, such a place does indeed exist. It's called prison."

Barack Obama Values Citizenship?

I just about fell out of my chair when I heard Barack Obama pontificate on the values of citizenship during his DNC acceptance speech in Charlotte, NC.  It was without a doubt the most laughable moment in convention history.  Here is an excerpt from that speech:


We, the people — (cheers) — recognize that we have responsibilities as well as rights; that our destinies are bound together; that a freedom which asks only, what's in it for me, a freedom without a commitment to others, a freedom without love or charity or duty or patriotism, is unworthy of our founding ideals, and those who died in their defense. (Cheers, applause.)

As citizens, we understand that America is not about what can be done for us. It's about what can be done by us, together — (cheers, applause) — through the hard and frustrating but necessary work of self-government. That's what we believe.

Citizenship used to mean something in this country.  Now, it’s just a word that trips off of a politician’s tongue like so many lies.  The assault on American citizenship has been going for decades.  But the Obama administration has relished in this denigration.  We would have to go back to the time of Reconstruction to find anything comparable.  Northern carpetbaggers became governors.  They had federally approved private armies that harassed, humiliated, stole, and at times murdered the Southern populace.  They ruled like conquerors and they made damn sure the plebeians knew it.

Yesteryears carpetbagger armies have been replaced by the Department of Justice and Homeland Security.  The bayonet has been replaced by lawsuits.  States can’t clean up their voter registration rolls, or require an ID at the polls without the heavy breath of a DOJ dog on their necks.  Immigration laws aren’t being enforced.  If a sheriff detains an illegal alien, the Obama administration sends its hell hounds to investigate and harass local law enforcement.  We all know what happened to Sheriff Joe Arpaio.  Well, we have the same thing happening in Alamance County, North Carolina:

RALEIGH (AP) – A two-year investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice has found that a North Carolina sheriff and his deputies routinely discriminated against Latinos by making unwarranted arrests with the intent of maximizing deportations.

In an 11-page report issued Tuesday, the federal agency said Alamance County Sheriff Terry S. Johnson and his deputies violated the constitutional rights of U.S. citizens and legal residents by illegally targeting, stopping, detaining and arresting Latinos without probable cause.

The agency also said that Johnson obstructed the federal investigation launched in 2010 by withholding requested documents and falsifying records. Federal investigators say members of the department also feared retaliation if they cooperated.

The report recommends a list of steps to end discrimination by the department, including remedial training, new internal procedures for recognizing and investigating civil rights violations and community outreach. If the county fails to reach a negotiated settlement, the Justice Department could take the county to federal court.

The DOJ refused to comment if criminal charges will be filed.  But they sure as hell will sue the shit out of the county.  Oh, and of course they’re receiving the same treatment Arizona is getting:

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman Barbara Gonzalez said Wednesday the agency’s 287(g) contract with Alamance County had been terminated, effective immediately. The two-year contract had been set to expire in October.

Federal authorities will now check the immigration status of those booked at the county jail, with an emphasis on deporting only those accused of serious crimes.

“ICE will utilize federal resources for the purpose of identifying and detaining those individuals who meet ICE immigration enforcement priorities,” Gonzalez said. “The department will continue to enforce federal immigration laws in Alamance County in smart, effective ways that focus our resources on criminal aliens, recent border crossers, repeat and egregious immigration law violators and employers who knowingly hire illegal labor.”

In an 11-page report issued Tuesday, the Justice Department said Johnson abused his authority granted under 287(g), ordering his deputies to arrest motorists who appeared Latino — even for minor traffic infractions — while letting white drivers off with warnings.

Are these the actions of an administration that values citizenship?  I would say they’re more like a northern carpetbagger, who has a disdain for a conquered people.

Obama Administration Undermines Sheriff Joe Arpaio's Ability to Enforce Immigration Laws

Barack Obama and his cadre of confederates have once again undermined the will of the American people. This time he has rescinded Arizona's ability to check on the legal status of those of have violated the law. Sheriff Joe Arpaio testified to the latest outrage.

Anyone who doubts this administration is undermining the value of their citizenship, should take time to consider all of the lawsuits that the Justice Department has filed against individual states for trying to control the invading horde from third-world countries. It would give pause to any reasonable person.

Federal Bureaucracy Gone Wild or Obama Thugocracy?

So a misplaced page denies the State of New Jersey a federal grant?  Something doesn't pass the smell test.

The Obama Administration is vindictive and petty; just look at what's happening to America's Sheriff in Arizona:

Sheriff Joe Arpaio, the Maricopa County, Arizona, man who calls himself “America’s toughest sheriff,” has until Sept. 10 to comply with a Justice Department request to explain his office’s “operations, policies and procedures” involving the arrest and detention of Hispanics, according to a letter obtained by ABC News.



The Department has been investigating the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office for alleged civil rights violations. Officials set the deadline following a meeting Tuesday with Arpaio’s attorneys in Washington.


“If we do not receive clear and specific agreement for all of the [requests], we will conclude that completion cannot be achieved by voluntary means,” Judy Preston, acting chief of the agency’s Special Litigation Section, wrote to Sheriff’s Office attorney Robert Driscoll.


The Department has outlined 51 requests for documents and information on how the Sheriff's Office conducts traffic stops and searches, trains new recruits and treats prisoners held in county jails. Officials also asked for access to arrest records from Jan. 2008 and to interview officers and inmates at county facilities.


An attorney for the Sheriff’s Office said he is preparing a response to Preston’s request but reiterated complaints that the Department’s allegations of wrongdoing remain unclear.

“I now know after the meeting that they involve Hispanics, but they refuse to provide any specific allegations,” said Driscoll. “This case is pretty unusual, I think. They don’t seem to have any evidence.”

How's that hope and change working for you?

Sheriff Arpaio has a Million Dollar Bounty on His Head

A Mexican drug cartel has placed a million dollar bounty on Arizona's Maricopa County Sheriff. Sheriff Arpaio is accustomed to death threats, but this one has to be taken seriously. MyFoxPhoenix.com reports:

It's offering $1 million for Sheriff Joe Arpaio's head and $10,000 for anyone who wants to join the Mexican cartel.

A man who wants to remain anonymous says his wife received the text message Tuesday evening. It also included an international phone number and instructions to pass the message along.

"She showed it to me..I was kind of disgusted..I reported it to the Sheriff's department yesterday..they said they were going to direct the threat squad on it."

Lisa Allen of the Sheriff's office says they believe the message originated in Mexico.

Although the Sheriff has received numerous death threats in the past, they believe this threat is credible because of its timing.

Law enforcement officers have been shot and killed on American soil and Phoenix has a high rate of kidnappings. Americans are under seige and President Obama is impotent. Sarah Palin summoned it up in an interview:



Woodrow Wilson is arguably the foremost progressive president in U.S. history. Even he didn't stand by and let foreign bandits murder American citizens. In 1916 when Pancho Villa crossed the border and raided Columbus, New Mexico, burning it and other towns and killing nineteen Americans; President Wilson sent General Pershing into Mexico to hunt that murderous bandit down.

We can only hope that our Eunuch in Chief finds his testicles and secures our borders before more Americans get killed.
