Lincoln Unvarnished: Maryland, My Maryland! ‘The Despot’s Heel Is on Thy Shore.’
Via Mike
| The Grandson Of Francis Scott Key Arrested By Lincoln |
Following the bombardment and surrender of Fort Sumter
at Charleston to Confederate forces on April 9, 1861, Lincoln ordered
the Governors of the remaining Union states to call up their state
militias and supply an army of 75,000 to invade and subdue the seven
Southern states that had seceded. While this was received
enthusiastically in many northern states, the Border States viewed this
order as a tyranny they would not follow. As Union sentiment in the
Border States evaporated, Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, and
Arkansas seceded, and secession efforts were underway in Missouri and
Kentucky.
Governor J. W. Ellis of North Carolina declared
that North Carolina would “be no party to this wicked violation of the
laws of the country and this war upon the liberties of a free people.”
Governor Beriah Magoffin of Kentucky responded to Lincoln: “I say
emphatically Kentucky will furnish no troops for the wicked purpose of
subduing her sister Southern states.” Missouri Governor Claiborne
Jackson responded harshly to Lincoln: “Your requisition is illegal,
unconstitutional, revolutionary, inhuman, [and] diabolical, and cannot
be complied with.” The order was likewise not well received in Maryland.

Feds: More Than A Quarter Of Illegal Immigrant Minors In Our Care Are Gang Members
Via Billy
The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) surveyed illegal immigrant minors in its custody and found that 28 percent of them were gang members, according to Senate testimony.
The Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing Wednesday on the “MS-13 problem.” The Salvadoran gang has grown in the recent years in the U.S. due to an influx of illegal immigrant minors from Central America.
Scott Lloyd, director of the ORR, described in his opening testimony the extent of the gang problem among these young illegal immigrants. Unaccompanied illegal immigrant minors are kept in ORR facilities until the agency can find them a sponsor, who is typically a relative.

Trump’s EPA Scraps Committee That Rubber Stamped Obama’s Job Killing Regulations
Via Billy
President Obama’s EPA was without a doubt the most out of control department/agency in his administration. Some of the things that went on over there during his tenure defied logic and often times morality as well.
The most notable example of EPA incompetence was the stunning fact that they knew the water in Flint, Michigan was tainted and didn’t alert the public for 7 months. If that’s not the definition of reprehensible then I don’t know what is.
But, that kind of callous behavior was just another day at the office for the EPA.
