Washington remains OUT OF CONTROL. They just do not care.
Here’s a conspiracy theory for you. They’ve done it deliberately so they can declare a state of emergency and suspend the US Constitution.
Either that or they are just relying on wishful thinking.

we need a new law that requires the firing of at least 5% of all federal govt employees in each paygrade each year. that is the only way i can think of to rid govt of worthless, unaccountable employees.
“In another unidentified country, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials were assigned to track special-interest aliens while the FBI was in charge of identifying terrorists trying to enter the United States. Because of poor coordination and communication, both agencies moved in on the same person, possibly jeopardizing several investigations.”
I thought this sort of thing, one of the identified factors that kept us from preventing 9/11, was one of the stated purposes for setting up this Homeland Security Dept. I can’t argue with the fact that we have not yet had a successful assault on American soil. I am wondering how accurate this report of a lack of coordination is.

Some will say we have declared war on terrorism, no matter where it may be. Lets look at that.
What IS terrorism?
Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of Law, © 1996 defines terrorism as,
1 : the unlawful use or threat of violence esp. against the state or the public as a politically motivated means of attack or coercion
2 : violent and intimidating gang activity terrorist /-ist/ adj or noun terroristic /"ter-&r-'is-tik/ adjective
We have many instances of terrorism against the governments of, and the people of, The United States, The United Kingdom, many nations of Europe, even some Middle Eastern countries, especially Israel. Terrorism was brought home to the United States, quite unlike anything we have experienced in recent history, by the terroristic strikes of 9/11/01. So where is our war on terrorism to strike? Who is our war on terrorism to strike?
The average citizen doesnt have the knowledge to decide where these terrorist acts originate from.
We must trust our governmental representatives and agencies to have the knowledge and the will to find these things out and decide those things.
But the average citizen does want to know, What are we doing to keep our country safe from another attack like that, or worse?
Which brings me to my second point.
Illegal immigration:
Look closely at the second definition of terrorism. Violent and intimidating gang activity
We have many instances of that right here in our own country performed by our own citizens, as well as citizens of other countries here, legally and illegally.
Where is our war on terrorism?
Are we now to decide what type of terrorism we are at war with?
Its my belief that most of the better organized gangs, especially at the top echelons, are comprised in large part of illegal aliens.
Why do these thugs, legal and illegal, roam our streets freely, acting with, almost, impunity, and we do little about it?
Why do millions of illegal immigrants pour across our southern border each year?
To begin with, is this not a hole in the fabric of our nations security? Could terrorists come across our border, even with the means to commit acts of terror, easily?
I have to say that the answer is, YES.
Yes, a terrorist could easily cross our southern border and I believe many do.
Not the type of terrorist you are thinking about. The man with a bomb strapped to his back, the man with nuclear devices in his backpack, the man with biochemical weapons attached to his belt, even though these could all be true.
Im talking about the illegal immigrants that are part of gangs, or going to become part of a gang.
There are many of them, both already in a gang or willing to join a gang once here for self preservation, or to protect their families, whom, being illegals, wont go to the police, or just wanting to show the gringo that they cant be pushed around like, you got it, what they are, an illegal alien.
(channeling terrorists) "Why worry about committing acts of aggression yourself when you can get willing dupes to do your job for you?
Lets sow some discord within the USA. Lets get the USA to look at a different problem, illegal immigration, and they wont be looking so hard in our direction. While were at it, lets get some of our own people in easily so that when we ARE ready well have a fifth column in place."
These reasons, in addition to the fact that many people have the gut feeling that the illegal immigrant should not be rewarded for breaking the law, are why we need to secure our borders, especially our southern border.
I believe that most people would be more than willing to have the many illegal immigrants as neighbors, the hard working ones at least, if only they had come to our country legally.
Most of the government, local, state, and federal, has turned a blind eye to the illegal immigrant lawbreakers in our country.
I havent been able to figure this out yet. Someone is getting paid off, Im just not sure who yet.
The government says these people pay taxes. How is that? A business is not supposed to be able to legally hire an illegal immigrant, so how are they paying taxes? Are they voluntarily paying their taxes to our government out of their under the table pay? I dont think so. Are they even voluntarily paying their OWN government taxes out of their under the table pay? I dont think so.
So we have one of two scenarios happening here. Either, we have illegal immigrants being paid under the table, illegally, by business owners or we have business owners accepting false documents from illegal immigrants and now the illegal immigrants are doubly criminals.
Either way, there are two crimes happening and very little being done about it.
When there is an attack here our politicians are responsible for it and for the death and destruction because they absolutely refused, in full knowledge of the consequences, to keep members of the death cult out of the USA.
