The South Has Risen Again... in Brazil — Meet the "Confederados"
Via Cousin John
In the east of Brazil, two hours away from Sao Paulo, there's a small community that has a direct blood link with people from the southern United States. They call themselves Confederados. Families with last names like Thomas, Strong or Williamson are living proof of the American emigration from Brazil that started after the Civil War. They left the devastation in the southern states to start over in Brazil, which was still a slaveholder nation. The Americans brought with them their expertise in farming, especially cotton, and helped start an agricultural revolution in Brazil. The descendants of these first immigrants are very proud of their roots and while they display the confederate flag proudly, they insist they are not racist and they denounce slavery.
Six more links for Confederados on NamSouth, 2007 and newer. There is an excellent book which has a picture of Jimmy Carter and his wife in front of the Confederate monument there before PC, after which they ran under the cupboards like the coach-roaches they are.

Michigan Dept of Agri Forces Farmer to Dump 248 Gallons of Organic Milk and Break 1200 Free Range Eggs
The Michigan Department of Agriculture must be so proud of their deeds, after they forced Joe and Brenda Golimbieski, the owners of Hill High Dairy and Jenny Samuelson, the owner of My Family Co-op, to dump out 248 gallons of milk, to break 100 dozen eggs, and to destroy an undisclosed amount of fresh cream, butter and cheese.
According to a post on the Hill High Dairy page on Facebook, the agents from the MDA stood over the family, watching as the food was destroyed.

This pistol-packing 80-year-old was attacked by home intruders — who immediately regretted it
80-year-old Tom Greer of Long Beach California arrived home Tuesday night to find a couple robbing his house. A man and a woman were rummaging through his things, including a safe. The robbers attacked Greer when he went inside.
“When I went in there, they tackled me,” Greer told NBC4. “Both of them jumped up on top of me,” bringing him to the ground, Greer said.
What the intruders didn’t know is that Greer had a .22-caliber Smith and Wesson revolver.
“I come back and they see me with a gun, and they run,” he said.
Now here’s where things get really tricky:

Governor LePage orders welfare recipients to work
The LePage administration is taking another step toward pushing welfare recipients to find jobs. The Department of Health and Human Services announced on Wednesday that, starting October first, "able bodied" adults with no dependents who get SNAP benefits -- often called food stamps -- will have to work 20 hours per week or do volunteer work. There are an estimated 12,000 recipients in Maine who meet that standard.

Va Flaggers W&L Update - LEE Chapel Closed for SCV Rally/Symposium
This just in, from the Lee Chapel Face Book Page:
“We regret to announce that Lee Chapel and Museum will be closed from Friday, July 25 at 3:00 p.m. through Sunday July 27.. This unscheduled closing is based on concerns for the safety of the facility and its staff on the day that the Sons of Confederate Veterans have scheduled a rally in Lexington. We must take this unfortunate precaution because of the inflammatory and threatening letters, emails and phone calls the University has received in response to the removal of reproduction battle flags from the statue chamber in Lee Chapel and the decision to bring authentic battle flags to the Lee Chapel Museum. We apologize for this inconvenience.”

REMINDER:
The Va Flaggers have called for and observed a TOTAL boycott of
Lexington, Va, following the September 1, 2011 flag ban ordinance by
Lexington City Council that prevents the flags of Lee and Jackson from
flying on City flag stands during the Lee-Jackson holiday. PLEASE make
arrangements so that NOT ONE DIME is spent within the city limits. When
you come, pack in food, or eat outside the city limits. Stop by the
Visitor's Center, sign the guest book, and tell them WHY you won't put
any money into Lexington's coffers.
We have also been asked about what flags we suggest to bring. While any Confederate flag is suitable, we would suggest carrying Army of Northern Battle Flags, if possible, during the protests in Lexington, as the flags removed from the chamber at the LEE Chapel were ANV Battle Flags.

Sandston VA 23150SiliConMan: Anti-Obama Street Artists Strike Silicon Valley
Via Susan
Anti-Obama street art appeared Monday night in Silicon Valley, where President Obama and Nancy Pelosi are scheduled to speak at yet another $32,000 per-couple fundraiser with California's rich and powerful on Wednesday.
In one series, titled SiliConMan, the president is pictured in a fedora, smoking a cigarette and winking. The text reads, "Leading from behind, fundraising in your face."
Another series plays on the classic iPod advertisements from Silicon Valley juggernaut Apple Computers and features President Obama's silhouette holding an NSA listening device under the mock brand name "iSnoop."
Other posters see the president holding a map of Silicon Valley alongside his famous quote, "You didn't build that."
In addition to the posters, a mocking faux-invitation was mailed to all of the Los Altos Hills neighbors of the fundraiser's host, restaurateur and real estate broker George Marcus, inviting them to "A Feast in Time of Plague."

Video: Grinning cops sued for watching thieves walk away with property of pro-life activists
Police officers in Jackson, Mississippi, are being accused of letting thieves walk away with the property of pro-life activists who were exercising their First Amendment rights on public sidewalks, and a video has been posted to support the claim.
The video shows the activists approaching police and reporting the thefts. An officer, who is holding a drink and appears to be leaning up against a vehicle, states: “I see that. I’m dealing with something right now.”

Embedding Illegals In Your Neighborhood – Social Justice Immigration Constructs In The Works – H.U.D “Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Rule”…
Via Susan
Idiots.
Taken in the abstract the illegal alien influx appears singular. However, if you allow yourself to elevate above the current crisis you find a parallel issue which aligns with the Obama goals for illegal alien absorption. You just have to get high enough and look beyond the current crisis horizon to see where they connect.
We have already outlined how HHS UAC (Unaccompanied Alien Minor) Grants are essentially a ruse similar to ACORN. There might be a few “unaccompanied” minors, (although we have yet to actually see or read of one) but there are many more entire families, or more commonly “mothers with children"
