NC faces Monday deadline to answer feds on transgender bathroom law

North Carolina is running up against a Monday deadline – set by the Obama administration – to either scrap the state's controversial transgender bathroom law or face legal action and risk losing federal funds.

Meanwhile... Sanctuary Cities  in blatant violation of federal law continue to get all the money they want.

I'm getting off track here, hate to say this, but have you noticed how Democrats deliver for their constituents? The Obama administration is set to win yet another in NC. I guarantee it. The House and Senate is in our control. How did we benefit taking control of Congress?  Name me one f**king thing of consequence these two bastards ever accomplished? 

Did they stop funding for Sanctuary Cities like they said? Did they put a stop to Barry's deficit spending, the crushing national debt? They were outraged over the PP videos and threatened to defund them. What happened? They funded PP! 

In fact, the guy who shot the video is being prosecuted!!! 

Hey NC if you're relying upon Republicans for help let me introduce you to what's cumming to a commode near you... the one  next to your daughter. 

"She'll" probably sue because there's no urinal fixed to the wall in the ladies room. Loretta Lynch will liken it to a glaring violation of "her" civil rights.

Republican Gov. Pat McCrory, who told "Fox News Sunday" he will make a decision by the end of the day, said the issue goes well beyond North Carolina now that the Justice Department is getting involved. 

But he would not say what his decision will be when repeatedly pressed for an answer, saying only that he's exploring "all legal options."

One option could be a court challenge.

The state law requires transgender people to use bathrooms that correspond with the sex on their birth certificate. McCrory says the North Carolina law applies only to government offices, universities, and road-side rest stops, not every bathroom in the state.

The Justice Department, though, sent McCrory a letter Wednesday stating the law violates federal civil rights laws.

The governor said he asked the department for an extension and was given only until the close of business Monday.

"I don't think that three working days is enough time for such a pretty big threat," he told Fox News. "It's the federal government being a bully, making law."

McCrory also said he doesn't have the legal authority to change laws and that the expectation that he can is "unrealistic." 

McCrory, who signed the bill into law in March, said last week that the department seems to be breaking new ground in claiming the North Carolina law violates Civil Rights Act protections against discrimination in education and the workplace.

And he said the administration's warning means the issue is no longer confined to North Carolina.

"This is not just North Carolina," said McCrory, arguing that every university that accepts federal funding is now in the same situation as those in his state.

Meanwhile, the administration is expected to soon take the bathroom issue further, to ensure that transgender student rights are fully protected under federal law, according to Politico. The move reportedly would be related to a federal law that prohibits sex-based discrimination in federally funded education programs and activities, and multiple agencies are expected to be involved.

Barack Obama takes on Donald Trump

"I continue to believe Mr. Trump will not be president," Obama said at a news conference in California after a meeting with southeast Asian leaders. "And the reason is that I have a lot of faith in the American people. Being president is a serious job. It's not like hosting a talk show, or a reality show."

Al Green...hit it Barry.

Barack Obama: I don't think Donald Trump will be President

Washington (CNN)President Barack Obama has a message for Donald Trump — being president is tougher than being on a reality show and the American people are too "sensible" to elect him.

"I continue to believe Mr. Trump will not be president," Obama said at a news conference in California after a meeting with southeast Asian leaders. "And the reason is that I have a lot of faith in the American people. Being president is a serious job. It's not like hosting a talk show, or a reality show." 

He went on: "It's not promotion, it's not marketing. It's hard. And a lot of people count on us getting it right." 

The comments marked a political resurgence for a lame-duck President in his final year in office. Obama offered surprisingly frank assessments of the campaign to replace him, taking shots at Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio. He also hinted hint that he was sympathetic to Hillary Clinton's position on the difficulty of enacting political change, as she faces a tough challenge from a candidate in Bernie Sanders, who has fired up Democratic primary voters who are demanding sweeping reform.

Obama was clear on one thing -- he's happy not to be in the race himself.

"The thing I can say unequivocally, I am not unhappy that I am not on the ballot."

(Not as happy as we are)

Mitt Romney met privately with Bill Kristol, who is leading the effort to draft an independent candidate

Talk about desperation! 

I'm thinking if this actually takes place, after a hard fought primary with 17 candidates slugging it out, Mitt Romney is just going to waltz in and snatch the brass ring? This is supposed to unify the party? Trump has a tendency to cry about being treated unfairly. This time, I would have to agree with him. On its face, this is blatantly unfair and is sure to create an even bigger chasm in the party. Sorry Mitt... but if you listen to Kristol and try to pull this off it'll be your third failed attempt at the WH. And this time rightfully so.

Look... is Trump a flawed candidate? Sure he is. But look at the alternative. A case in point which is critical. The Supreme Court. With the death of Scalia, and Ginsburg basically on life support, Killary is a sure lock on two appointments and very possibly three... even if she serves just one term! Imagine the Supreme Court with three more Kaganesque/Sotomayor types serving lifetime appointments? 

We won't have to worry about who's going to pay for the border wall.

There won't be one.

In spite of his insistence that he will not run, Mitt Romney is being courted this week by a leading conservative commentator to reconsider and jump into the volatile 2016 presidential race as an independent candidate.

William Kristol, the longtime editor of the Weekly Standard magazine and a leading voice on the right, met privately with the 2012 nominee on Thursday afternoon to discuss the possibility of launching an independent bid, potentially with Romney as its standard-bearer.

“He came pretty close to being elected president, so I thought he may consider doing it, especially since he has been very forthright in explaining why Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton should not be president of the United States,” Kristol said in a phone interview Friday, during which he confirmed that he and Romney had a “little meeting in Washington.”

But knowing Romney’s reluctance, Kristol told Romney that if he remains unwilling to run, many top conservatives would appreciate having the former Massachusetts governor’s support for an independent candidate, should Kristol and other right-leaning figures enlist a willing contender.

“Obviously, if there were to be an independent candidacy, Romney’s support would be very important,” Kristol said. “I wanted to get his wisdom on whether it was more or less doable than I thought.”

“It was not like, ‘You should do it.’ I wouldn’t presume he’d do it. But I’m hoping that he begins to think about it a little more,” Kristol said. “His name is one of the names that is part of the discussion.”

The closed-door huddle was held at the J.W. Marriott hotel in Washington, which is just blocks from the White House. It was requested by Kristol, according to a person close to Romney who requested anonymity to discuss the session. Kristol said the conversation was held over glasses of water.

Kristol has been working informally for weeks to seek out a prominent political or military figure who could be drafted into the general-election contest, such as retired Marine Gen. James N. Mattis, who recently declined such overtures.

Later Thursday, both Kristol and Romney attended an awards gala for American Friends of The Hebrew University, an area group that supports the Jerusalem-based school.

At the dinner, when asked in front of the attendees about possibly running as an independent this year, Romney said he was not interested.

“No, I’m certainly going to be hoping that we find someone who I have my confidence in who becomes nominee. I don’t intend on supporting either of the major-party candidates at this point,” Romney said, according to the Washington Examiner.

But, Romney added, “I am dismayed at where we are now, I wish we had better choices, and I keep hoping that somehow things will get better, and I just don’t see an easy answer from where we are.”

A Romney spokesperson was not available for comment Friday evening.

In a speech in Salt Lake City, former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney denounced support for candidate Donald Trump, saying Trump "is playing the members of the American public for suckers."

Obama budgets $17,613 for every new illegal minor, more than Social Security retirees get

On a tip from Ed Kilbane

And remember according to Mitt and his cohorts Trump is going to be worse!!!

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

President Obama has budgeted $17,613 for each of the estimated 75,000 Central American teens expected to illegally cross into the United States this year, $2,841 more than the average annual Social Security retirement benefit, according to a new report.

The total bill to taxpayers: $1.3 billion in benefits to "unaccompanied children," more than double what the federal government spent in 2010, according to an analysis of the administration's programs for illegal minors from the Center for Immigration Studies. The average Social Security retirement benefit is $14,772.

The report notes that the president's budget, facing congressional approval, includes another $2.1 billion for refugees, which can include the illegals from Central America, mostly Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador.

What's more, the administration is also spending heavily on a program with the United Nations to help the illegal minors avoid the dangerous trip by declaring them refugees and handing them a plane ticket to the U.S. where, once here, they get special legal status.

The report, titled "Welcoming Unaccompanied Alien Children to the United States," is a deep dive into the administration's evolving efforts to let hundreds of thousands of mostly 16- and 17-year-old males settle in the country.

It said that most of the undocumented minors do not qualify for refugee status or are even in any danger in their native countries. Instead, they are seeking to unify with their family members, commonly parents in the United States illegally.

The report cited Department of Health and Human Services data showing the trend. "New data," said CIS, "shows that 80 percent of the 71,000 Central American children placed between February 2014 and September 2015 were released to sponsors who are in the United States illegally."

Author Nayla Rush suggested that the administration's Central American Refugee/Parole Program with the United Nations that declares minors refugees could have the effect of giving legal status to their illegal parents once in the U.S.

"Children will be able to qualify for refugee status and then be flown to the United States. As a reminder, refugees receive automatic legal status and are required to apply for a green card within their first year following arrival. They can apply for citizenship five years from the date of entry.

"Since parents from Central America illegally present in the United States could not benefit from the CAM program and sponsor their children, perhaps the reverse can take place with children admitted under this new version of the refugee program. Children, acquiring legal status followed by naturalization by the time they reach adulthood, could indeed sponsor their parents," wrote Rush.

I thought he was going to blow a gasket!

Now listen to him on Cavuto yesterday.

This is the reason I said he would make a damn good Democrat.

He's got a knack for the liberal rational.

To deter illegal migration Neil asked FOX..."Isn't the burden on Mexico to improve its economy?"

Listen to his answer towards the end of the interview. This is classic liberal bullshit consistent with spinning terrorist attacks into workplace violence. He tries to equate Americans who move from one state to another to get a better job is precisely the same as his denizens illegally jumping the border wall to achieve the same thing! As I said... liberal logic.

And if you don't believe they're the same?
