The illegals are here to do things that Americans won’t do:

U.S. Immigrations and Custom Enforcement (ICE) has deported more than 860 sex offenders from the State of Texas this year, according to an official press release from the agency. More than 7,000 sex offenders have been deported from Texas alone in the past three years.
The release reveals 27% of the deported 860+ alien sex offenders from the past three months committed sex offenses against children.

But wait! It gets even better:

Though some may take the frightening numbers of sex offenders who have crossed into the U.S. and been deported as an indication of a job well done by ICE, a recent investigative Breitbart News report indicates a more concerning possibility—the sex offenders illegally entering the U.S. through the porous U.S./Mexico border are possibly being deported and coming right back to offend again.

Ironic it is that I turned off a rerun of “Law & Order: SVU” because it was heading towards the argument that those of us against illegal immigration are racist bigots who don’t deserve to breathe oxygen. Instead, I found a rerun of “Leverage”. Much more entertaining, and not personally offensive.

And Homeland Security/ICE is very much a part of the problem:
The official ICE press release referenced above reveals that it is against U.S. government policy to share the names of illegal aliens convicted of sex offenses who were deported. ICE asserts, “In accordance with Department of Homeland Security privacy policies, ICE cannot include the names of those deported.”
No information is available regarding how many of the 7,000+ deported sex offenders in the past three years have illegally entered or have been deported previously. Some areas of Texas along the U.S./Mexico border have seen a 100% increase in convicted sex offenders being caught crossing the border between 2013 and 2014.

Not. Enough. Spit. In. The. World.

    The bear is loose and is on the hunt in eastern Europe while the Messiah in vacationing in Florida or somewhere looking for a lost airplane or another Admiral to fire or another Tea Partier to accuse of being a racist or whatever. The good news is that our guy doesn’t really care what his friend Mr. Putin is doing in Europe. The bad news is that he wouldn’t know what to do about it if he did care. Oh don’t forget, only 14 more shopping days left for your fine free Obamacare. We’re in the very best of hands.

    Well, so now the disappeared plane seems to have fallen victim to terrorist activity–likely by its pilots no less. Israelis are on high alert, as should every country within flight range of that plane. Probably the Norks don’t need to be. Politics appear to be a motivating factor.

    A finger in MoBo’s eye.
    (Reuters) – If the news last month that the prevalence of obesity among American preschoolers had plunged 43 percent in a decade sounded too good to be true, that’s because it probably was, researchers say.

    When the study was published in late February…, no one had a ready explanation for that astounding finding by researchers at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Indeed, it seemed to catch the experts by surprise.
    /snip
    First Lady Michelle Obama and others seized on the finding as a sign that efforts to combat the national obesity epidemic were paying off.

    Eager she was, to claim responsibility for the improvement in the chillun’s lives. Obviously, her “Let’s Move” campaign and her draconian lunch menus were paying off, right?

    But as obesity specialists take a closer look at the data, some are questioning the 43 percent claim, suggesting that it may be a statistical fluke and pointing out that similar studies find no such decrease in obesity among preschoolers.
    In fact, based on the researchers’ own data, the obesity rate may have even risen rather than declined.

    After a discussion of how the statistics were run, we find this statement:

    Since the range for 2003-2004 overlaps with that of 2011-2012, Kabat said, “that’s another way of saying there might have been no change” in preschoolers’ obesity rate. Even an increase is a statistical possibility.
    Indeed, the CDC scientists’ conclusion is that “there have been no significant changes in obesity prevalence in youth or adults between 2003-2004 and 2011-2012.”

    Rather than reducing the prevalence of obesity among 3-and-4-year olds in the WIC program in California’s Los Angeles County, researchers found that the problem worsened from 2003 to 2011. Obesity rose to 20.4 percent from about 17 percent, the researchers reported in the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report in 2013.

    So, MoBo was all intent on trumpeting her efforts to be Miss Bossypants, that she knew better than we how to run our lives, and that if we only would listen to her and follow her dictates, things would be awww bettuh. (Insert motherly smoochy sounds here.)
    Um, no.

    What’s wrong with this?

    Downtown Houston’s Christ Church Cathedral turned 175 on Sunday, making it one of the oldest structures in the area.
    At Texas and Fannin, the church was constructed in 1893 as the first Episcopal church in the city and the second in the state.

    I compute that at about 121 years, give or take, from the block-quoted text. But if I read the linked article, I see 2014-1839, which is indeed 175 years.

    Actually, the first Episcopal church was established in 1839. The current church was built in 1893. It is the third church on the site. The problem is this:

    Downtown Houston’s Christ Church Cathedral turned 175 on Sunday, making it one of the oldest structures in the area.

    The church congregation, not the building, turned 175. The structure is 121.
    The oldest church building in Houston is Annunciation, cornerstone laid in 1869. It is also the oldest extant Catholic congregation in Houston.

    If the congregation is 175, there must be lots of mummies sitting in those pews.

    I was proud of the St Patrick’s Day parade organizers who stood up against booze company boycotts of their events. To my knowledge, no parade said gays could not march, they just said gays could not wear or carry GLBT gear or signs in the parades.

    One leader who does plan to march in New York Monday is Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny, who defended himself against criticism over his decision earlier this week, saying “The St. Patrick’s Day parade (in New York) is a parade about our Irishness and not about sexuality, and I would be happy to participate in it.”

    Think: your students will know English grammar, as a coherent and fascinating whole. The others won’t. Your students will have a quick sense of number. The others won’t. Your students will have in their ears, their hearts, and their minds, and thus at their fingertips as they put pen to paper, the noble rhythms of great and good English writers, and none of the sublingual grunts of contemporary dabblers in the twisted and weird. The only rotten English they’ll have read will be what they find in newspapers and on the internet; but you can do your best to make them aware of how bad that is.
    Your students will know that the Danube River flows into the Black Sea. The others will never have heard of a Danube River or a Black Sea. Your students will see in their minds’ eye Hannibal mounted upon an elephant, making his way eastward towards the French Alps. The others will never have heard the name of Hannibal.
    Be bold, be bold! Remember Hans Christian Andersen! The superintendent has no clothes. The commissars of the Common Core have no clothes. The developers of curricula have no clothes. They are all a great big herd of balding and belly-sagging naked people, swaggering and blustering and ordering everybody around. Let some little boy cry out to any one of them, “Hey mister, diagram this sentence!” Go for it, and let the devil take the hindmost!

    Scientists believe that the universe exploded from a tiny speck and hurled itself out in all directions in the fraction of a second that followed, beginning just 10 to the minus 35 seconds (roughly one trillionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of a second) after the universe’s birth.

    All the energy and matter in the entire universe came from a tiny speck. And I’m a knuckle-dragging neanderthal for believing in a First Mover?

    Wisdom from my inbox:

    A lot of folks can’t understand how we came to have an oil shortage here in our country.
    ~~~
    Well, there’s a very simple answer.
    ~~~
    Nobody bothered to check the oil.
    ~~~
    We just didn’t know we were getting low.
    ~~~
    The reason for that is purely geographical.

    Our OIL is located in:

    I’ve got to find the article I was reading in January describing the original theory of creation some physicists in Europe had come up with.
    I didn’t link to it because I didn’t really understand what they were talking about except they had conceived a coherent theory wherein this entire universe exists inside a larger universe which itself exists inside an even larger one.
    Look, what we know about how God created just this tiny corner of the universe is a pittance. Man is pretty arrogant and presumptuous when he thinks he knows much of anything. Even agnostics and atheists have to admit to our collective ignorance of the cosmos and creation.

    But TexPat, that would require that they admit that they are not G-d and that is terrifying to them. They want to insist that if there is a G-d (which they will boldly proclaim that there isn’t) that each individual is thier own G-d, therefore what ever they want to do is always right, moral and godly.

    I read one theory that said there are large membrane type entities (“branes”) that exist parallel to each, not quite touching. No one explains where these “branes” come from, just that they do. When physics, the laws of which are probably not fully explained, since we don’t really know what these branes are made of, where they came from, exactly how utterly humongous they are, or why they don’t fall apart, anyway, when the physics of these branes cause them to ripple, and IF the brane waves touch, then a huge spark occurs. This explosion is the beginning of a universe. This is one theory of the Big Bang.
    I kid you not. I love science, and I think this came from Discover, though I may be wrong.
    Frankly if anyone has any branes that could do stuff like that, it would be God.
