Via CNSNews.com:

The U.S. side of the southwest border is home to “some of the safest communities in America,” Gene Garza, the director of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in the Laredo, Texas field office, told lawmakers on Tuesday. [...] However, the U.S. Attorneys’ Annual Statistical Report for Fiscal Year 2011 paints a different picture, showing that 80 percent of all cases filed against criminal defendants in U.S. Magistrate Courts were filed in districts along the U.S.-Mexican border. [...] There were 71,387 cases filed in U.S. Magistrate Courts against criminal defendants between Oct. 1, 2010 and Sept. 20, 2011 (FY 2011), according to the Attorneys’ latest statistical report. Among those cases, 57,310 (80 percent) occurred along the southwest border. Despite the U.S. Attorneys’ data, DHS Secretary Napolitano echoed Garza’s claims that the border communities are among the safest in the country, testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee on April 25: “Violent crime in U.S. border communities has also remained flat or fallen over the past decade, and statistics have shown that some of the safest communities in America are along the border.” Do you feel any safer now?

Nutella to Pay $3 Million to Stupid Parents Who Failed to Read Food Label

FRIVOLOUS LAWSUITS & STUPIDITY ARE DESTROYING AMERICA

Heritage reports:

But ignorance is bliss — very bliss — and in the case of Uninformed Moms vs. Nutella, it was worth $3.5 million in a class action lawsuit settlement. This latest example of the U.S. legal system run wild comes to us from California where two mothers filed suit against Ferrero USA, Inc., the maker of Nutella — a spreadable, chocolate-flavored hazelnut product. ABC News reports that one of the plaintiffs — Athena Hohenberg of San Diego — sued the company because she was confused into thinking that Nutella is a health food, and she was “was shocked to learn” that Nutella “was the next best thing to a candy bar.” [...] Now, the company is settling for $3.5 million — or anywhere from $4 to $20 per person in the class. The thing is, if you take a look at a jar of Nutella, you’ll quickly see for yourself that the product isn’t that healthy. According to the government-mandated nutrition label, two tablespoons contain 200 calories, 11 grams of fat (3.5 grams saturated), and 21 grams of sugar. It doesn’t take a nutritionist to realize that isn’t healthy. [...] Unfortunately, when companies are hit with frivolous lawsuits and they have to pay out, the money comes from their bottom line. That means less money for innovation, investing and expanding — and that means fewer jobs.

Forbes correctly points out:

Many healthy eating advocates see the outcome of this lawsuit as a turning point in the battle against nutritionally defunct fare. As for me, I see this simply as the sad, unfortunate endorsement of the fact that Americans have really become incapable of making sound, and reasonable judgements about our own sustenance.

OBAMA-ERA FOOD POLICE: Then they came for McDonald’s Happy Meals

LIBERAL HYPOCRISY! So, the crazies from the Left continue their war on individual freedom!! They are pretending to care about our health, but we know it’s all about power and control. Last week, San Francisco banned Happy Meals: “San Francisco’s board of supervisors has voted, by a veto-proof margin, to ban most of McDonald’s Happy Meals as they are now served in the restaurants…The measure will make San Francisco the first major city in the country to forbid restaurants from offering a free toy with meals that contain more than set levels of calories, sugar and fat.” Of course, the Left will decide what the proper levels are. “The ordinance would also require restaurants to provide fruits and vegetables with all meals for children that come with toys.” Degenerates want to tell you what to eat while they continue with their self-gratification: In San Francisco, “if you want to roller skate naked down Castro Street wearing a phallic-symbol hat and snorting an eight-ball off a transgender hooker’s chest while underage kids run behind you handing out free heroin needles, condoms and coupons to the grand opening of the neighborhood’s newest bathhouse, that’s your right as a free citizen of the United States.”

Leftists’ World Naked Bike Ride (San Francisco, 6/10/2006)

THE FAT POLICE ARE HERE! Via American Thinker: San Francisco, that bastion of liberal orthodoxy, has, through their Board of Supervisors, passed a law that tells parents what they can and can’t feed their children. Most of us have heard of McDonald’s Happy Meals, which offer toys to children with their food order. Of course, parents are the ones ordering for their kids and paying the check. Hence, one would think the decision about what their children eat is their business, not the business of a bunch of nosy control freaks. With McDonald’s being hovered over by sentinels in the city by the bay, eyeing every morsel they sell, how long before we’re being watched in our kitchens as we reach for the salt shaker or the ketchup bottle?		Michelle Obama Diktat to Restaurants (9/13/2010): “Cut the butter & cream. Hide the French fries. Make carrots the default choice! Substitute wheat pasta for white pasta.” Obamas’ Hypocrisy
Liberals misusing the law to control Americans: They’re not satisfied with controlling their own eating habits; they want to control yours, too. According to the recently enacted passage in the San Francisco Health Code: A restaurant may combine a free toy or incentive item with the purchase of a meal if the meal does not include any of the following as defined in the ordinance: excessive calories, excessive sodium, excessive fat (excessive will be determined by the little dictators who sit on the board), including saturated fat, and trans fat exceeding 0.5 grams. A meal must also contain at least 0.5 cups or more of fruits or vegetables. Breakfast items must contain 0.5 cups of fruits or vegetables. A Restaurant may provide a free toy or Incentive Item in combination with the purchase of a single food item or beverage if the food or beverage includes less than 35% of total calories from fat and less than 10% of calories from added caloric sweeteners. The Department of Public Health shall enforce the ordinance and the Director of the Health Department may issue administrative citations for the violations of the ordinance under San Francisco Administrative Code Chapter 100.
Leftists want all people to conform to their autocratic rule: [Leftists] plot ways to control every act, thought, and pattern of behavior in their community. Then they get themselves elected to boards in order to use the parliamentary power of their positions to force their view of social conformity on people who once thought they had the freedom to choose their own destiny. >> Read the entire article: here.

Democrat Jerry Brown Camp Calls GOP Meg Whitman “Whore” (audio)

DEMOCRAT’S ANTI-WOMAN REMARK

Real Clear Politics reports: “According to the LA Times, Brown left a voicemail message for Scott Rate, a union official. Brown apparently believed he had hung up the phone, but the connection remained intact and the voice mail machine captured an ensuing conversation between Brown and his aides. A second male voice can be heard saying, of the deal-making, ‘What about saying she’s a whore?’ Brown replies: ‘Well, I’m going to use that. It proves you’ve cut a secret deal to protect the pensions.’”

DID YOU KNOW? Whitman’s Social Security letter warned her not to fire the housekeeper: Read the SSA letter here….it doesn’t say what the media is telling you. Contrary to what Gloria Allred is claiming, the SSA letter dated 4/22/2003 clearly: 1) Makes “no statement about your employee’s immigration status.” 2) Warns Whitman not to fire the housekeeper because of the letter: The SSA makes it clear that their letter is not a basis for Whitman “to take any adverse action against the employee, such as laying off, suspending, firing, or discriminating against the individual. Any employer that uses the information in this letter to justify taking adverse action against an employee may violate state or federal law and be subject to legal consequences.” It has been reported that Whitman fired the housekeeper in 2009 when they became aware that she was an illegal alien.* 3) Explains to Whitman the maid doesn’t have to show her the SSN card: On the second page, the SSA explains, “While the employee must furnish the SSN to you, the employee is not required to show you the Social Security card.”

MEG WHITMAN’S MAID: Read the Social Security letter here…it’s NOT a smoking gun!

CALIFORNIA GUBERNATORIAL RACE: RINO VS. LEFTIST (Just like McCain vs. Obama in 2008) No fan of leftist Jerry Brown or RINO Meg Whitman, but the facts are the facts.
TIME TO READ THE SSA LETTER FOR OURSELVES Publicity-hoarder and leftist attorney Gloria AllRED released the so-called smoking-gun 2003 letter from the Social Security Administration about Meg Whitman’s $23 an hour housekeeper and illegal alien* Nicky Diaz (a.k.a. Nicandra Diaz Santillan, a.k.a. Nicky Santillan…) Contrary to what AllRED is claiming, the SSA letter dated 4/22/2003 clearly: 1) Makes “no statement about your employee’s immigration status.” 2) Warns Whitman not to fire the housekeeper because of the letter: The SSA makes it clear that their letter is not a basis for Whitman “to take any adverse action against the employee, such as laying off, suspending, firing, or discriminating against the individual. Any employer that uses the information in this letter to justify taking adverse action against an employee may violate state or federal law and be subject to legal consequences.” It has been reported that Whitman fired the housekeeper in 2009 when they became aware that she was an illegal alien.* 3) Explains to Whitman the maid doesn’t have to show her the SSN card: On the second page, the SSA explains, “While the employee must furnish the SSN to you, the employee is not required to show you the Social Security card.” Patterico did what the Los Angeles Times failed to do – they linked to the actual letter (PDF) and read it to see what it actually said. They found:		Click the images to zoom in:
	The letter didn’t just fail to come to a conclusion about [the maid's] legal status…Rather, the letter explicitly says that it makes no statement about her immigration status. That is a stronger statement. Again, the quote is: “This letter makes no statement about your employee’s immigration status. [...] [T]he letter asks only that the Whitmans check the Social Security number in question against the Social Security number she had already given them. [...] Well, she had provided them a fake Social Security card, copies of which the campaign has released. Allahpundit observes: When you read it carefully, all it says is that there’s some recordkeeping discrepancy related to Diaz’s W-2, which could mean any number of things; her lawyer points out that Diaz acknowledged on page two of the document that she goes by two different names, which Whitman’s husband might have believed was the true cause of the mix-up. . . . Essentially, they’re forced to compare Diaz’s false documents to Diaz’s recitation of the numbers on those false documents, which is moronic.

MARK LEVIN TO GLORIA ALLRED: Cut out the bullcrap!
*DEFINITION OF ‘ALIEN’ Leftists and dividers like Gloria AllRED want Americans to feel guilty for using the word “alien,” but the facts prove them wrong. The word “alien” is not a pejorative: Webster Dictionary: adj.: relating, belonging, or owing allegiance to another country or government: FOREIGN U.S. LAW: Title 8, Chapter 12, Subchapter I, § 1101: The term “alien” means any person not a citizen or national of the United States.

Los Angeles Schoolboard (LAUSD) Approves for Students to Be Taught That Arizona Immigration Law Is Un-American

Via FoxNews:

The Los Angeles Unified School District school board wants all public school students in the city to be taught that Arizona’s new immigration law is un-American.

The school board president made the announcement Tuesday night after the district’s Board of Education passed a resolution to oppose the controversial law, which gives law enforcement officials in Arizona the power to question and detain people they suspect are in the U.S. illegally when they are stopped in relation to a crime or infraction.

Critics of the law say it will result in racial profiling.

The school board voted unanimously on Tuesday to “express outrage” and “condemnation” of the law, and it called on the school superintendent to look into curtailing economic support to the Grand Canyon State. About 73 percent of the students in the school district are Latino.

But supporters of the law say the school board is way out of bounds and that the measure will just distract from the children’s education.

Obviously they ignore that Arizona law (Bill SB1070):
● Mirrors the federal law that since 1940 requires aliens to register and carry their documents with them.
● Targets ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. Americans do not oppose legal immigration. Why is it racist to ask people to come through the front door?
● Will NOT give police the power to pick anyone out of a crowd for any reason and force them to prove they are in the U.S. legally.

They need to read the Arizona law (SB1070) and its amendment (HB2162)
