SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – AT 11:49 P.M. ET: 

OUTRAGEOUS – Why do we have to read this in a London paper, the Daily Mail?  "Border Patrol agents overwhelmed by a recent influx of immigrant children crossing the border illegally have been knowingly letting gang members enter the country.   Art Del Cueto, president of the National Border Patrol Council Local 2544 in Tucson, Arizona told the National Review that officers who recognize gang tattoos on the minors are supposed to treat them like everyone else.   For the most part, that means letting these unaccompanied children be reunited with their parents or other relatives already living in the United States.
'It’s upsetting that a lot of them are 16 or 17 years old and a lot of them are not going to face deportation,' Cueto said."  And what will happen when an American family is brutalized by gang members?  We'll be told by the Obamans that the gang bangers are just victims of big business.

WHAT A SHOCKING REQUEST – It is just amazing what these state legislatures ask of public education these days.  Why, it's just like HITLER!   Or BUSH!  From Fox:  "The South Carolina legislature has rankled liberal groups after requiring that a pair of public schools use state funds to teach the U.S. Constitution and other founding documents -- on the heels of a budget fight over gay-themed books in the curriculum.  State House lawmakers previously had cut funds from two public universities in retaliation for required-reading material containing homosexual themes. A revised budget passed by both the House and the Senate earlier this month, though, restored the money -- but dictated that exact amount be spent 'for instruction in the provisions and principles of the United States Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Federalist Papers, including the study of and devotion to American institutions and ideals.'"  It's so 1700s.  All those documents written before Microsoft Word.  How good could they be?

OUR LEADER LEADS!  HE LEADS! – From The Hill:  "President Obama laid out a billion-dollar climate change challenge on Saturday, urging the nation to help combat the effects of natural disasters.  'Can you imagine a more worthy goal, a more worthy legacy, than protecting the world we leave to our children,' the president said as he delivered the commencement address at the University of California, Irvine.  'U.S. action is critical on climate change, as the world is watching and will follow the U.S.’s lead,' he said. 'This is a fight America must lead.'  Obama announced a $1 billion fund for towns and cities recovering from disasters that would 'help communities prepare for the impacts of climate change and build more resilient infrastructure across the country.'"  Isn't that what we already do?  We already have emergency funds.  They're released to towns, cities and states after every disaster.  Someone tell Obama.
