The Hartley's weren't the first to be ambushed on Falcon Lake. Still, I can't imagine why they went there in the first place. This Doctor was at least not 5 miles deep in Mexico!

Secretary of Homeland Security Napolitano Doesn't Know What to do with Criminal Illegal Alien
Secretary of Homeland Security Napolitano doens't know what to do with the criminal illegal alien Niki Diaz and said it's a matter for California voters. Really? Then why isn't it a matter for AZ voters what to do with illegal criminal aliens within Arizona borders?
Napolitano was an idiot when she was Governor of Arizona and she hasn't developed any additional intelligence in the Federal Government. We here are glad to be rid of her but it's a shame she is now inflicted on the entire country.

Drug War With Mexican Cartels Already Here
In an earlier post, I said "Mark my words: it's only a matter of time before the grenade attacks and car bombs spill over the border."
In comments, Big Bob said "It is already here" and left a link which I've quoted below.
Big Bob is right. It arrived with little fanfare. This should have been reported in our national media. Repeatedly. Emphatically. But, of course, they are all a bunch of open borders socialists so they would never both to inform us that the war is already here.

PHOENIX – Grenades used in three recent attacks in northern Mexico and South Texas originated from the same source, U.S. investigators say, and the paramilitary group known as the Zetas is suspected of being behind the assaults.
Investigators with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives say they have evidence linking grenades used in an October attack on the U.S. Consulate in Monterrey, Mexico, a January attack on a television station in Monterrey and a January attempted attack on a bar in Pharr, Texas. Three off-duty police officers were customers of the bar.
No serious injuries were reported in any of the attacks, but investigators say lot numbers confirmed that the grenades came from the same source.
"When you see grenades in Mexico and then a grenade in the U.S., it tells you the violent criminals do not respect the U.S.-Mexico border," said William Newell, ATF special agent in charge in Phoenix. "Now that we're seeing a growing influence of Mexican drug cartels in small towns in America, we have to realize they're here, and how much further we let that violence spread is up to us."
According to an unclassified report that ATF sent to law enforcement agencies last week, the grenades are "linked to a major recovery of firearms and grenades in a Mexican warehouse with suspected ties to a drug cartel."
ATF officials traced the grenades to a warehouse in Monterrey. The explosives were manufactured in South Korea. Investigators say they believe the cartels buy grenades on the black market in Central America, where the explosives are from past civil wars.
The group behind the attacks is believed to be the Zetas, who have terrorized the border area for years and whose reach extends into U.S. cities, according to U.S. investigators.
In this decade, the Zetas have grown from regional armed enforcers of the Gulf cartel into a formidable foe of the Mexican government, which has declared war on them and other drug cartels that now control parts of Mexican territory.
This week, a member of the Zetas was arrested in Cancún and held in the killing of an army general.
Investigators warn that the Texas grenade incident likely won't be the last.
"The violence is here," said Jim Needles, the assistant special agent in charge of the ATF office in Phoenix. "It's not just an issue for the Mexican authorities. It's also an issue for us here in the United States."

Bloody Weekend in Mexico Leaves 34 Dead
Northern Mexico seems more violent than areas of the middle east at this point. Mark my words: it's only a matter of time before the grenade attacks and car bombs spill over the border.
MEXICO CITY (AFP) – Northern Mexico was shaken by a weekend of violence, with 34 deaths blamed on drug cartels and a series of grenade attacks that injured a dozen people, officials said Sunday.
Twelve people were hurt in a late night grenade attack at a busy plaza outside Monterrey, according to officials who said it was one of four bombings to rock the industrial border city over the weekend.
Authorities said Sunday that the grenade was thrown by unidentified assailants at about 11 pm Saturday (0400 GMT Sunday) near the town hall in Guadalupe, a suburb of the bustling city near the border with the United States.
Earlier Saturday, three explosive devices were detonated, including one near the US consulate and another not far from a prosecutor's office that wounded a guard. The blasts damaged roads and nearby vehicles, said police, who have yet to identify the culprits.
Monterrey, about 120 kilometers (75 miles) from the US border, has been the scene of brutal violence blamed on feuding drug cartels fighting over control of trafficking routes into the lucrative US market.
Last month, the US State Department barred its personnel from taking children with them when they occupy posts at the consulate in Monterrey, citing security fears.
Officials in Mexico City in a statement expressed the government's "strongest condemnation" of the attacks and vowed to do their utmost to combat organized crime across the country.
The bombings in Monterrey took place amid a new wave of drug related killings, mostly in northern Mexico, close to the lucrative US drug market, that has claimed nearly three dozen lives over the past few days.
In the town of San Jose de la Cruz, in an isolated mountain region in the northern state of Durango, presumed rival drug gangs clashed in a bloodbath that left 14 people dead, the local prosecutor said Saturday.
In Chihuahua another 20 murders took place, nine of them in Ciudad Juarez.
Meanwhile, police intensified their search Sunday for 20 Mexican tourists kidnapped by gunmen last week in the beach resort city of Acapulco.
The tourists from Morelia in neighboring Michoacan state were abducted late Thursday and officials said their was no word as to their whereabouts or their fate.
More than 28,000 people are believed to have been killed in drug cartel-related violence in Mexico since late 2006, when President Felipe Calderon launched a military crackdown.
Cochise County Sheriff Larry Dever says Obama has "his hands wrapped around our throats"
Sheriff Larry Dever of Cochise County, Ariz. told CNSNews.com that President Barack Obama has “got his hands wrapped around our throat” as his administration sues the state of Arizona for trying to enforce the immigration laws that the federal government itself will not enforce.
Dever also said he has “zero confidence” Obama will secure the border before his presidential term is up in two years and that the president is putting the people who live and work in Cochise County at risk by willfully failing to secure that border so that he can maintain political leverage for his goal of winning an amnesty for illegal aliens.
CNSNews.com videotaped an interview with Dever on Aug. 13, the same day Obama signed a $600 million bill to provide 1,000 additional Border Patrol agents. When asked whether he believes Obama actually wants to secure the border, Dever said that Obama did not want to do so.
“No. He’s as much as said so,” said Dever. “He’s playing the border security card, holding that, his trump card, to get immigration reform. And he’s basically said, you’re not going to get the kind of border enforcement you want, you’re asking for, unless you give me immigration reform.”
Cochise County is one of four counties in the state of Arizona that is contiguous with the Mexican border. Dever, a native of the county, was first elected sheriff in 1996 and has worked in local law enforcement in the county for three decades.
When CNSNews.com asked Dever if he was saying that President Obama was putting ranchers, other people in his county and the even Border Patrol agents who worked there at risk by holding off on securing the border while trying to win an amnesty for illegal aliens, Dever said: “If that’s what it seems like I’m saying, let me just make it perfectly clear, as the president likes to say: That’s exactly what I’m saying.”
Asked how much confidence he has that President Obama will eventually secure the border before his term of office ends in two years, Dever said: “I have zero confidence in that.”
“While this new funding is welcome, it’s still far short,” Dever said of the bill the president signed that day. “It’s an improvement, and we welcome that. But what really irritates me, really irritates me, is that while throwing out all this money in the government, he’s suing us on the other hand.”
Dever was referring to the lawsuit brought against Arizona by the U.S. Justice Department seeking to block an Arizona law enacted earlier this year that requires local law enforcement officers in Arizona to determine the immigration status of someone they stop for another reason and then have a reasonable basis for suspecting may be an illegal alien. In July, a federal judge issued an injunction blocking enforcement of key provision of the Arizona law, and it is now on appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
“So, he’s got his hands wrapped around our throat—to use a Gulf oil—his foot on our throat, to use a Gulf-oil-spill metaphor, and, holding out a few crumbs in his hand and saying eat this,” said Dever. “Lift the lawsuit, Mr. President, and drop that thing. Let Arizona take its leadership role like it’s willing to do. We’ll help. We’ll do more good with that than anything else that’s going on right now. Other states are getting on board. And then give us the resources we need to get this thing done.”

American Murdered on USA-Mexican Border Lake
This is even more horrifying than the Global Warming freaks who want to kill you. Because it's REAL. Mexican terrorists murdered an American man on a lake which straddles the American - Mexican border.
Search teams are combing a Texas lake for the body of a man who was allegedly shot and killed by Mexican pirates when he and his wife were ambushed after crossing into Mexican waters on their personal watercraft.
David Michael Hartley, 30, and his wife Tiffany Hartley, 29, were attacked on Falcon Lake, near the southern tip of Texas, police said.
Tiffany Hartley told police her husband was shot in the back of the head as the couple fled to U.S. waters.
The gunmen are suspected to be Mexican pirates who have been marauding on the lake, law enforcement officials said.
Hartley fell off his watercraft after he was shot, according to his wife, who told rescuers and police she attempted to circle back to save him, but the gunmen were still firing shots so she had to abandon the rescue attempt.
OK, it sounds to me like they crossed into the Mexican part of the lake to "do some sightseeing". As awful as it is that a man was murdered, and as distraught as his now-widow is, I have to ask what the hell they were doing going into Mexican waters in the first place? Were they completely unaware of the border violence? How could they be unaware when they lived there for 5 months? What were they thinking?? Not that any deserves to be killed for being unaware or just plain dumb. But seriously, who would actually go to Mexico right now? If you do, you're a fool.
Warmists Want to Kill You
Macker pointed this out to me. I'd heard about it and knew that it was vile. It's far worse that I imagined.
That's it then. They want to MURDER anyone who doesn't agree with their pseudo science.
The only thing which will shut these anti-science gullible fools up is a freaking ice age.

Seriously Consider This Before Voting Third Party
Here we have Robin Carnahan explaining that they essentially encourage Libertarians and Constitution Party Candidates, if not outright plant them, because they know that these candidates draw votes away from Conservative Republicans. Dishonest. It's like purposely drawing a foul in basketball. I hate that!
