"If Lindsey Graham is a conservative, why are liberal PACs spending millions of dollars to re-elect him?"

If Lindsey Graham is re-elected, it will be one of the greatest political scams in American history. It may also be one of the greatest tragedies for the American people. 

It will result in a heavy burden for American workers and their families with more lower-paid foreign workers displacing them in the workplace and driving down their wages. Taxpayers will pick up a large part of the tab to benefit employers using lower-cost foreign labor.

                                    Mark Zuckerberg's Self-Serving Immigration Crusade

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's self-serving crusade for cheaper and younger foreign workers includes heavy support for Lindsey Graham, a key co-sponsor of Senate bill S.744, giving amnesty to over 12 million illegal immigrants and allowing 30 to 35 million more legal immigrant workers into the country in the next decade.

But the people of South Carolina are barraged day after day with TV and radio ads, many of them by Obama backing liberal Zuckerberg's phony conservative PACs, telling the people that Lindsey Graham is a conservative leader.  But Lindsey's Graham's amnesty and foreign worker surge bill is going to break the economic backs of ordinary working people, and taxpayers will pay for the breaking.

Family: Vet killed in weekend standoff sought medical care

 

It was a painful Memorial Day weekend for the Sims family.

Their son, an Iraq War veteran, was killed during a police standoff. The family said he turned to the Kansas City VA Medical Center for help, only to get turned away.

Sgt. Isaac Shawn Sims, 26, was the pride and joy of his family. He was a third generation Army veteran who served with the 82 Airborne. His family says the Army was his life, but that life came at a price.

"An eardrum had been blown out and he has 80 percent disability from brain injuries," said Patricia Sims, Isaac's mother.

The physical wounds he received in Iraq only tell part of the story, according to his parents. Isaac Sims suffered from severe depression, migraines and post-traumatic stress disorder, all from seeing his friends and comrades die in combat.

"He had to pick up body parts, he had to move forward as if nothing happened," Patricia Sims said.

His mother said her son recently drove around Kansas City in this hummer believing he was back on the battlefield. His mother rode shotgun.

"And saying ‘this is how we look for IEDs mama. This is what we do. Round and round.' Then he'd show me on YouTube the videos of an IED exploding," Patricia Sims said.

Frustrated and frightened, his parents pleaded to the VA for help.

Two Men Threaten Young Lady over the Phone, Show Up With Guns, Armed Dad Steps In

 

An armed father is not someone I’d ever want to be on the wrong side of. That’s exactly what two men in their twenties faced last night though.

According to media reports, the two men had called a woman at a Salt Lake City residence and made threats. When the woman stopped answering the phone, the men decided to show up at her home – armed with guns.

The pair kicked in a door to the home, which alerted the girl’s father. The father grabbed his handgun and went to confront the intruders.

When he recognized the men, they fled.

Veterans’ bodies left to rot in L.A. morgue

Via LH

On top of veterans being put on an interminable waiting list at V.A. hospitals in violation of hospital policy, so interminable that some actually died before they could get an appointment to see a primary care physician, now comes news that bodies of deceased veterans were left to rot in a morgue for as long as a year and a half.

Section 578 of Public Law 106-65 of the National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2000 requires that every eligible Veteran receive a military funeral honors ceremony, to include folding and presenting the United States burial flag and the playing of Taps. The law defines a military funeral honors detail as consisting of two or more uniformed military persons, with at least one being a member of the Veteran’s parent service of the armed forces. The Department of Defense (DOD) is responsible for providing military funeral honors. (Source: U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs)

Not only is the Obama administration’s DOD not providing military funeral honors to veterans in Los Angeles, some of them don’t even get a burial.

1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429 Fastback, 1 of 89 Built in Calypso Coral

 

There are many great Mustangs in the world, restored to like-new condition, looking for all the world like they just drove off the showroom floor. But for a few, great isn’t good enough. Great might not win the Team Shelby National Diamond Award; nor win Division 1 at the Shelby American Automobile Club Concours. Boss 429 KK 2500, however, is so righteous that it’s done both.

It’s easy for anyone to see why the Boss Nine has turned into a legend. As with many other great muscle cars, it has its roots in racing, in this case a new engine that needed to be homologated for NASCAR after Ford’s SOHC 427 Cammer was kicked out of competition.

The 429 is a truly exotic engine, from the O-ring dry-deck aluminum hemispherical cylinder heads; to the four-bolt main for the forged-steel crank; to the yawning 2.28 inch intake and 1.90 inch exhaust valves.

Man shot multiple times, but still saves day

Police in California say they are looking for several suspects in a home invasion after a 22-year-old victim grabbed a gun and engaged in a gunfight to protect his younger siblings who also were in the house.

He succeeded in killing one of apparently four men who crashed in the front door, and wounding another, and police have on video the license plate number for the van in which two suspects apparently delivered their injured comrade to a hospital.

The dead attacker’s body was found at the home.

Acting Sheriff Mike Boudreaux told KFSN Television that there were four siblings in the home – their parents, farm workers, already had left for work before the 5:30 a.m. attack.

He said a 22-year-old “became aware of the robbery or potential intruders when the front door of the home was breached.”

He grabbed a gun from a safe “to protect himself and three siblings,” ages 3, 11 and 18, authorities said.

“He was fighting for his life,” the sheriff said.

A gun battle inside the home left the 22-year-old, whose name was not immediately released, with multiple gunshot wounds and he was hospitalized and expected to recover. His siblings were uninjured, authorities said.

NC: Army hospital chief relieved of command

Via LH

The chief of an Army medical center has been relieved of his command because of problems with patient care, and the Pentagon has ordered a review of its health care system, defense officials said.

The commander was replaced Tuesday at Womack Army Medical Center at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, and three deputies were suspended, the Army said in a statement.

The shake-up comes after two deaths this month of patients in their 20s and problems with infection control at the facility that were pointed out in March by a hospital accreditation group, according to two defense officials. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.
