Stedman doing what he does best

New hope for drug convicts

WASHINGTON - Tens of thousands of federal inmates serving time for drug crimes would be eligible for early release under a proposal being considered Friday that would dramatically reduce the nation's prison population over time.

The change is part of a broader rethinking of criminal justice policy that the Justice Department, under Attorney General Eric Holder, has embraced. With an eye toward addressing sentencing disparities rooted in the 1980s-era fight against crack cocaine, the Justice Department has issued new clemency criteria designed to encourage thousands of additional inmates to seek clemency.

------------------------------------------------------

Wasn't it Stedman, who suggested that critics of the Obama administration are motivated by race and referred to America as a "nation of cowards" on race issues?

Wasn't it Stedman, who refused to prosecute the Black Panthers for voter intimidation? Reverse the situation, the KKK intimidated Blacks, he wouldn't have done anything then either…right?

If con's are doing time for wire fraud, insider trading, or money laundering, they can forget about receiving their freedom from Stedman. He's only interested in the 51,000 doing time for drugs. I wonder what is motivation is?

Maybe the same as this:

WASHINGTON - Tens of thousands of federal inmates serving time for drug crimes would be eligible for early release under a proposal being considered Friday that would dramatically reduce the nation's prison population over time.

The U.S. Sentencing Commission, which earlier this year voted to substantially lower recommended sentences for drug-dealing felons, was to vote on whether to retroactively apply that change to prisoners now behind bars.

More than 51,000 inmates would be affected if the commission decides to make the proposal fully retroactive. The commission, an independent panel that sets sentencing policy, has said that sentences would be cut by an average of 23 months and that the releases would start within the year and be phased in over time.

Advocates of the early-release plan say it would cut prison costs - nearly one-half of the federal prison population is locked up for drug crimes - and scale back some of the harsh sentences imposed during the country's war on drugs.

The change is part of a broader rethinking of criminal justice policy that the Justice Department, under Attorney General Eric Holder, has embraced. With an eye toward addressing sentencing disparities rooted in the 1980s-era fight against crack cocaine, the Justice Department has issued new clemency criteria designed to encourage thousands of additional inmates to seek clemency.

Last year, Holder directed federal prosecutors to shy away from seeking mandatory minimum sentences for nonviolent drug offenders.

Though sentencing guidelines are advisory rather than mandatory, judges still rely heavily on them in deciding on prison sentences. The guidelines recommend sentences that factor in the types and quantities of the drugs

The commission in April voted to lower recommended sentences across all drug types, meaning, for instance, that a cocaine package of a given size would now be linked to a shorter range of punishment than before.

That sentencing guideline change - along with the retroactivity - would take effect in November unless Congress intervenes before then, which advocates consider unlikely.

The Sentencing Commission has previously taken aim at guideline ranges, agreeing in 2011 to retroactively change the crack cocaine sentencing scheme for thousands of inmates.

Prisoner advocacy groups have lined up behind the proposal. Prosecutors, including some within the Justice Department, have expressed concern, and federal judges have offered mixed views.

"Even though retroactivity and individualized assessment for all eligible persons is time intensive and administratively burdensome, it is the right thing to do so that we can again ensure that our criminal justice system is fair to all concerned," U.S District Judge John J. McConnell Jr. of Rhode Island wrote in a letter to the commission.

A group of federal prosecutors, the National Association of Assistant United States Attorneys, said the move would lead to higher crime and give defendants little incentive to accept plea deals.

Currently Stedman is held in Contempt of Congress for a sting of lies so long I've lost lost count. But his most infamous achievement is this.

Articles of impeachment:

On November 14, 2013, Representative Pete Olson (R -TX), along with 19 Republicans, introduced an Articles of Impeachment resolution against Holder for his role in Operation Fast and Furious and other scandals of President Barack Obama’s administration. As of June 2014, there are 26 co-sponsors to the bill.

Obama to ban discriminating against federal workers who are gay or transgender

• The order will protect federal workers and employees at companies that contract with the federal government

• 'With two strokes of a pen, the President will have a very real and immediate impact on the lives of millions of LGBT people across the country,' human rights activists said

• Obama plans to sign the orders Monday

President Barack Obama plans to sign executive orders Monday prohibiting discrimination against gay and transgender workers in the federal government and its contracting agencies, without a new exemption that was requested by some religious organizations.

Obama's action comes on the heels of the U.S. Supreme Court's recent ruling in the Hobby Lobby case that allowed some religiously oriented businesses to opt out of the federal health care law's requirement that contraception coverage be provided to workers at no extra charge. Senior administration officials said Friday that ruling has no impact on non-discrimination policies in federal hiring and contracting.

Thank God he got this straightened out I was worried sick.

• Igor Girkin claimed corpses around the wreckage died before plane took off

• Pro-Russian rebel said they were drained of blood and decomposing 

• He was said to be one of the laughing rebels who filmed the attack

You would think this bastard had some hint of remorse.

"I was going to say Aliens shot it down but 
I didn't think you would believe me so I made up this one instead"

Bizarre claims: Igor Girkin said the bodies had been dead for days and reeked of decomposition 

The rebel commander blamed for shooting down flight MH17 has made bizarre claims that bodies at the crash site 'aren't fresh'.

Pro-Russian separatist Igor Girkin has claimed corpses near the debris died days before the plane took off.

According to rebel website Russkaya Vesna, the leader was told by people at the scene in eastern Ukraine that 'a significant number of the bodies were drained of blood and reeked of decomposition.'

Girkin, also known as Strelkov and allegedly a former Russian intelligence agent, also suggested that a large amount of blood serum and medications in the wreckage.

The information has not been confirmed but the commander said: 'Ukrainian authorities are capable of any baseness.'

He was said to be among the laughing rebels that filmed the plane as it crashed

Footage is said to have captured him gleefully bragging: 'That was a blast – look at the smoke!' while a fireball rose from the debris. 

The extraordinary footage – apparently filmed by the shooters themselves – charts the terrible final moments of the doomed airliner.

A voice believed to be that of Strelkov – dubbed 'Igor the Terrible' – announces: 'The plane was hit!' He adds: 'Look at those black spots, these are the parts, flying … it was a blast … look, look, black smoke!' 

As a pall of smoke was seen coming from the crash site, he wrote a triumphant war cry on Twitter, saying: 'We warned you – do not fly in "our sky".' 

The Malaysia Airlines Boeing-777 was shot down Thursday, killing all 298 people aboard. 

Shortly after the passenger plane was downed, Strelkov – seen smirking in propaganda photos – tweeted a boastful message claiming responsibility. 

At the time, he apparently believed he had shot down an Antonov-26 military plane of the Ukrainian Air Force, saying it landed near a mine named Progress.

His chilling message read: 'In the area Torez we just hit down An-26, it's lying somewhere in the mine 'Progress'.

'We warned you – do not fly in 'our sky'. And here is the video confirmation of the "bird dropping".

'Bird fell near the mine, the residential sector was not disturbed. Civilians are not injured.'

Later as the horror became clear, the tweet was deleted.

Putin setting foot in a church is 
tantamount to the devil saying the rosary. 
Surprised there was no fire.

--------------------------------

 I am certainly not absolving this animal (or should I say 2 animals) of this horrific crime. As I understand it there were 80 children on board.

Russian Separatists just shot down a plane not very long ago. So why in the world would you fly a civilian airliner into a war zone? Reports suggest they wanted to save on fuel. Whatever they saved will be  minuscule compared to the lawsuits. The lawyers will be all over this quicker than sharks to blood. Considering Malaysia Airlines recent track record they'll probably file bankruptcy. I imagine this is there only recourse... because who in the hell would buy a ticket?

Feds to house illegal immigrants at multimillion-dollar hotel

The United States is the only country in the world actively engaged in importing illegals. We are witnessing Democrats deliberately sabotaging their own country in the hope of collecting more votes. On the other hand... had they believed illegals voted Republican the border would be sealed tighter than a drum before I could finish writing this.

Just yesterday a principle of a grade school in MA stated buses pulled up to her school and dumped 238 illegal children at her doorstep and left. The children were from Central America and could not speak English or Spanish. She said, "they speak in a tribal dialect." As far as she could tell they have never set foot in a classroom. BTW... Where do they go when the school day is over?


 This is flat out wrong and the taxpayer is footing the bill.

Are you going to sit still for this?

---------------------------------------------------

The Obama administration could soon be housing hundreds of illegal immigrant children at a multimillion-dollar hotel complex in Texas, just a few miles from the Mexican border – and it could cost taxpayers nearly $50 million, sources with knowledge of the deal tell me.

"It's an extraordinarily expensive operation," said an official with knowledge of the plans. "We're talking tens of millions of dollars. It's a lot of money."

The Palm Aire Hotel is not exactly Club Med but the 7-acre site features three swimming pools, lighted tennis courts, concierge service and a Jacuzzi.

BCFS, previously known as Baptist Child and Family Services, which has a contract with the Department of Health and Human Services to run camps at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio and Fort Sill in Oklahoma, is negotiating to purchase the Palm Aire Hotel in Weslaco, Texas, for $3.8 million. The hotel was built in the 1980s and includes traditional hotel rooms and suites.

"This facility is part of the solution for alleviating overcrowded conditions seen in Border Patrol facilities as a result of the increase in migration from Central America," BCFS spokesman Asennet Segura said in a prepared statement. 

"This facility will be largely self-contained and provide a safe setting for the community to respond to this influx, as well as the children who are separated from their families."

And they're talking about hundreds and hundreds of illegal immigrants.



Remember the movie

They dispersed pods all over the United States.

Barry's doing the same thing... merely substituting illegals for pods.

BCFS says they could house as many as 600 children between the ages of 12-17 at the Palm Aire. It also plans to provide medical and mental health care and educational and recreational programs.

"The centralized intake facility will be the first of its kind in the nation, allowing for quick transfer of children from Border Patrol custody and expedited release to their families," Segura said.

Once it's fully operational, the facility will cost taxpayers around $50 million, a source with knowledge of the expenses told me.

"Frankly, it's a lot of money -- no question about it," my source said, adding that American taxpayers "will be furious" when they receive the total bill.

I reached out to the Department of Health and Human Services for comment but have not received a response.

The Palm Aire Hotel is not exactly Club Med -- but the 7-acre site features three swimming pools, lighted tennis courts, concierge service and a Jacuzzi. The property also has around 10,000 square feet of retail and meeting space.

I called and spoke to one of the owners of the hotel who confirmed the pending sale but stressed that they were not responsible for what replaces their business.

BCFS said it plans a multimillion-dollar renovation to fence in the property and turn the meeting rooms into medical facilities. It plans to remove the tennis courts and put in soccer fields.

It also plans to hire 650 workers – some making upward of $45 per hour. If you're doing the math, that's more than $16 million annually in salaries and benefits. And every paycheck will be covered by American tax dollars.

"It's going to be an expensive contract," my source said. "It's like running a hospital, 24/7."

My BCFS source said having a facility so close to the border will save money over time, and it wants the hotel to become a one-stop facility – a place where the children can undergo medical screening and behavioral screening. It also hopes to house immigration courts at the hotel. They anticipate children staying at the facility no longer than 15 days at a time.

"This is better than scattering kids all over the United States without the proper screening," my source told me. "All these services need to be on the border." 

Contact your representatives in Congress and  put a stop to this today.
