Obama Violated ACORN Funding Ban With Housing Grant to Offshoot, Watchdog Says

A conservative watchdog group is accusing President Obama of violating a funding ban that he signed into law that prohibits the flow of federal money to the now-defunct community activist group ACORN or any of its affiliates.

Judicial Watch says that in March, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) issued nearly $80,000 in grants to Affordable Housing Centers of America (AHCOA), which the groups says is an offshoot of ACORN.

"This was an ACORN affiliate at the time of the funding ban and it has not changed in sum or substance since then," Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton told Fox News in an interview. "The funding ban was violated and the administration is calling these new entities. It just doesn't pass the laugh test."

Happy 4th of July!

Aside from being a long weekend and an opportunity to have some hot dogs and beer in the back yard, the 4th of July celebrates America’s independence from an imperial government that was taxing us to death; was indifferent to our problems; and crushed ideas of liberty and freedom.

If those words seem to describe what is beginning to happen again in America, then it is time for Americans to rise up again and declare our independence from a Congress that seems to have forgotten both the words and the meaning of our Declaration of Independence.  Only this time, we can use the power of the ballot box, not musket fire to get the job done.

Remember the Alamo?
It's getting pretty bad when the Mexicans can't run Mexico, but the  damn Democrats let them run  America.
What for? Because they want the Mexican vote!

Glenn Beck Bids Farewell and Reveals New Plans

Marking the end of a media era, former Fox News host Glenn Beck signed off his program during a live broadcast Thursday, saying his decision to leave the show was “divinely inspired,” and promising to continue his fight to restore the values that made America great.

The final program that concluded his two-and-a-half year Fox run was vintage Beck. He lampooned the mainstream media, predicting that his new endeavors to GBTV.com would make them pine for the days when his television time was limited to only an hour a day.

Beck nostalgically recounted the unique features of his program, including its idiosyncratic reliance on chalk boards in an age of high-tech wizardry, and a red phone he used to challenge the Obama administration to call and defend its policies on air.

“This show has become a movement,” Beck said. “It’s not really a TV show anymore. And that’s why it doesn’t belong on TV. It belongs in your home.”

There have been reports of tension between Beck and the network, reportedly over advertisers who held back their support out of concern that Beck was too hot to handle. But Beck scoffed at the notion he may have been dropped by Fox News due to his controversial past statements, including his July 2009 remark that President Barack Obama was “racist” and harbored “a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture.” Beck later apologized for his choice of words.

Napolitano: DHS Not Looking to Deport 'DREAM Act Students'

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano denied that the Obama administration is trying to unilaterally execute immigration policies contained in the stalled DREAM Act -- but at the same time she said it "doesn't make sense" to deport illegal immigrant students who would be covered by the proposal. 

Her comments Tuesday on Capitol Hill suggest that even if the DREAM Act does not pass, federal immigration officials will not target illegal immigrants who would otherwise be given a reprieve under the bill. 

Bailey:  It's a shame when the people we elect doesn't uphold the laws of our land!
