The bloodbath continues along our southern border and now word is coming in that Los Zetas, the highly trained killers formerly with the Gulf Cartel, have crossed into the United States and taken over at least two ranches in the Laredo, Texas area.

Founder of the San Diego Minutemen Jeff Schwilk tipped me off to this story and passes along the following information on the location. The ranches are said to be “near Mines Rd. and Minerales Annex Rd about 10 miles NW of I-35″. [Read more →]

The Dems have stated they will stop at nothing to pass Obamacare. The “Blue Dog Democrats” who have been opposing abortion funding in this bill are waffling, and an emergency trip to DC has been scheduled for Tuesday, March 16. This is the final showdown.

For those of you who cannot make a trip to DC there is an Illegal Immigration Protest prior to the regular board meeting of School District 5. They are violating SC law by employing construction workers without verifying their status as legal workers.

Government healthcare didn’t go over so well…so now they’re gonna try making every US worker carry a microchipped government ID card.

Sen. Lindsey Grahamnesty has been working for six months with Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on an “immigration reform” framework. Their plan, which hasn’t been introduced yet, includes a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants (a.k.a. “amnesty”) and proposes “tough new safeguards,” including a biometric national ID card for workers.

Graham and Schumer are meeting Thursday (3/11) at 3PM with Obama to discuss their plan.
