The Invasion Continues...and from China came five [Don't you think it's about time we 'DO' something besides post this stuff?]
A friend in Wilson County, Texas writes, "Seems that my fellow Wilson County citizens are getting a little dose of reality. I may not have to drive 3 hours to conduct border watches anymore. Think I will just sit on the front porch." ~ Storm'n Norm'n

Officers, ranchers nab 14 suspected illegals WCN/WILLIAM J. GIBBS JR.• Reprints at wilsoncountynews.com Deputy Robert Shockley of the Wilson County Sheriff’s Office (second from left) and Texas Department of Public Safety Highway Patrol Trooper Craig Semlinger (right) remain alert as a group of suspected illegal immigrants boards a sheriff’s office van on C.R. 201 Dec. 4. Wilson County News December 8, 2009 FALLS CITY -- A group of 14 suspected illegal immigrants apprehended north of here Dec. 4 is now in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials, said Trooper Craig Semlinger of the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) Highway Patrol. Semlinger said nine of the men and women captured by DPS troopers, sheriff’s deputies from Wilson and Karnes counties, and some local ranchers are from Mexico. The remaining five, the trooper said, are from China. Three others said to be with the group were still at large as of press time Dec. 7. Shortly before noon Dec. 4, Semlinger said he saw a silver-colored 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup truck near the intersection of F.M. 791 and U.S. 181 in Falls City. Semlinger became suspicious when he saw movement under a thin sheet of wood in the truck’s bed. “[The passengers] were holding it down, trying to keep warm,” he said. Semlinger said the truck, which was reported stolen in Pearland, displayed tags belonging to an older-model Dodge Ram truck. Semlinger pursued the truck for several minutes and over varying terrain, before it came to a stop. At that time, the passengers and driver abandoned the vehicle and fled from sight. As the unseasonably cold temperature began to take its toll on the fugitives, several emerged from their hiding places among the brush, prickly-pear plants, and cattle on the area ranchland. Jonathan Kutac was among a group of ranchers in pickup trucks who helped troopers and sheriff’s deputies apprehend several of the men and women who fled. Kutac had driven down C.R. 202 after becoming concerned that someone might break into his home. He wound up transporting some of the fugitives to waiting officers. “I drove up and cornered three against a fence,” Kutac said. “They got in, and we went up to the road and got the other five. They all started piling in.” Anyone with information about the whereabouts of the remaining fugitives is asked to call the Wilson County Sheriff’s Office at 830-393-2535 or Crime Stoppers of Wilson County at 830-393-INFO (4636). Callers may remain anonymous. |

Happy Eid al-Adha Best Buy Ad Sparks Debate
Shoppers show support, displeasure with greeting
MyFox Twin Cities Report
RICHFIELD, Minn. - A scanned version of the Best Buy Black Friday ad on BestBuy.com wishes Muslims a happy Eid al-Adha, which falls on the extended Thanksgiving weekend.
Since the ad was posted, a message board on BestBuy.com has filled up with plenty of responses. Tuesday morning, a discussion of the ad on BestBuy.com had more than 100 responses. Some of those comments were supportive of the greeting and some called for a boycott of the retailer, including boldly racist remarks.
Health Care And You...promises, promises...(yeah right!)
Source: National Review
Promises, Promises -- Violated at Every Turn [Grace-Marie Turner]
President Obama repeatedly promised the American people that his health-reform plan would lower their health costs by $2,500 a year for a family.
The Congressional Budget Office and actuaries from his own administration say it just ain’t so.
— CBO’s analysis of Sen. Harry Reid’s bill shows that families purchasing insurance in the individual market would not see a reduction but rather an increase in their premiums by $2,100 in the year 2016. And that’s over and above the increases they already will be facing.
That means a family would be paying $15,200 for health insurance by 2016 if the Democrats’ bill passes, and $13,100 if it doesn’t. It’s clear why Americans are concluding that doing nothing would be better than passing this bill.
— Further, those receiving health insurance through their employers will pay even more for their insurance, with premiums for a family in a small business remaining about the same as they would without reform at $19,200.
— The big news the White House touted in the CBO report was that premiums for employees of large firms would remain mostly unchanged, meaning they would continue to go up almost as fast as they have been, reaching $20,100 for a family and $7,300 for an individual by 2016.
Advocates are quick to say that many people would qualify for subsidies under the Senate bill to help them pay these higher premiums. In other words, Congress will be raising taxes by almost $500 billion and cutting Medicare by $400 billion to help some people pay premiums that their own bill raises.
How are supporters of this legislation going to argue now that we need health reform to lower health costs — and boost our international competitiveness — when this legislation does neither?
The House bill is no better. Richard S. Foster, the chief actuary of the administration’s Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, has concluded that the legislation that passed the House last month would do little to reduce premiums for individuals. He concludes that proposals intended to lower health costs in both the public and private sectors would save only $2 billion over ten years, all of which is attributed to the increasingly controversial use of comparative-effectiveness research (as in mammogram recommendations).
He says only about 18 million Americans would be eligible for subsidies outside Medicaid, costing taxpayers $505 billion through 2019. But millions more Americans would be subject to expensive penalties for not buying coverage. Foster estimates that individuals would pay $62 billion in fines between 2014 and 2019, while businesses would be hit with $118 billion in tax penalties for a total of $180 billion.
And for all of this, national health spending goes up, violating President Obama’s pledge to “bend the cost curve” down. Foster concludes that “Total national health expenditures under [the House] bill would increase by an estimated 1.3 percent in calendar 2019.” In the Senate bill, the CBO says spending would be $160 billion higher than if the legislation were not enacted.
Keep your current coverage? Not under the Senate bill. The CBO found that most people in the individual market would have to trade in their current coverage to get policies written by Congress. Which means that millions of people will lose their current coverage, most involuntarily.
And Senator Reid is being especially dishonest with accounting gimmicks in trying to keep the overall cost of his bill under $900 billion. It counts ten years of taxes, with collections starting next month, but only six years of spending, starting in 2014. Budget analyst Jim Capretta estimates that the real cost of the first ten years of spending under the Senate bill would be $2.5 trillion.
This legislation making its way through Congress does nothing to lower costs; it saddles businesses with a plethora of new mandates and taxes, and it requires them to purchase even more expensive health insurance in the future than many can afford today.
Americans want health-care reform. But the reform Congress is contemplating is neither what they want nor what they have been promised. Congress should start over.

Today's Special Treat - Maggie sends us a blog from God's country...meet David Lemon, the bronze sculptor.
David Lemon Sculpts The Mountain Man's Rifle
You've seen the name David Lemon here many times. He is a blogging friend and a great news hound. I went to his place today, From Clay to Bronze to see photos of a cattle drive in his town of Ennis, Montana - up there in God's country.
I love to watch David's videos. Not only is he a master sculptor, but he is a master videographer, as well. Today he was working on the rifle that would fit into the hand of his mountain man. I hope you have time to watch this. It is amazing stuff - and such incredible talent. Be sure that you stay with the video, at the very least through sculpting the mountain man's hand. Unbelievably beautiful! I think you will be mesmerized.
