Normally when a bureaucracy screws something up

You can usually chalk it up to incompetence or a glitch in the system.
But you really have to wonder why or how they ordered the local Constabulary to let an international fugitive go free.

A former Mexican government official wanted for embezzling millions was arrested in Texas this month, then promptly ordered released by the State Department in a case that has one lawmaker demanding answers.
A day after pulling rank on Smith County, Texas, law enforcement officials, the State Department rescinded the order. But Hector Hernandez Javier Villarreal was gone by then.

~snip~

Villarreal, the former secretary executive of the Tax Administration Service of Coahulia, Mexico, was arrested there in November on charges relating to an alleged scheme involving embezzling millions of dollars from the Mexican government. He posted $1 million cash bond, got himself a U.S. visa and then skipped town.

Villarreal surfaced in Tyler, Texas, on Feb. 1, when he, his wife Maria Teresita Botello and another man were pulled over for a routine stop. The couple's two children were also in the car and were turned over to child protective services.

"All we did was make a traffic stop; they didn't have a front license plate," Smith County Sheriff J.B. Smith told FoxNews.com.

Police were given permission to search the vehicle and found $67,000 in cash and a shotgun, Smith said.

"When we ran the check on the shotgun, then all of a sudden everyone in federal government became interested -- ATF, (the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives), FBI, Homeland Security, Immigration (and Customs Enforcement) all showed up," Smith said.

He said Homeland Security officials had told his department that Villarreal was a high-profile and wanted fugitive.


Hillary Clinton's State Department ordered he and his wife free because they were here with a Visa.

Gohmert (R-TX)said he had been told that State Department officials released Villarreal because he entered the country on a valid U.S. visa, even though as an international fugitive, he should have been deported. Gohmert said he also wants to know why Villarreal was granted a visa days after posting $1 million bond following his arrest in Mexico. The visa Villarreal was granted was an EB-5, which is given to foreigners who invest at least $500,000 in a business venture.
Am entrepreneur visa they got after he posted a $1 million bond in Mexico and skipped bail.

Was that investment in 0bamas WTF  plan?
That's why the word came down to let them go until they were sure to not get caught again?

About that San Diego police stand-off the other day

-The one where they were holding an empty car at gunpoint:




I have some questions, like
  • The guy called his Parole Officer to tell him he had a car problem, and probably where- so WHY was it such a big deal that they get him "then"?
  • Nobody looked into the front windshield?
  • Dropping a BRANCH onto the rear window? Seriously? a BRANCH?
  • Then sending a dog in to be sure there wasn't anyone hiding before you used a battering ram(srsly?) to open the trunk?
  • Why did Chief Inspector Clouseau think that if a gun battle DID start that no one on the road would have been hit? Because of the fine marksmanship we always hear about when 150 shots were fired and three hit the subject? How do you know Mr. Criminal mastermind wouldn't target cars?
  • The guy already was in for some serious bux for his engine repair- who's going to pay for the bodywork now?
Yeah, don't worry Citizen- we know what we're doing- We're professionals!

I wonder what the First Food-Nazi had to do with this?

When are we going to find out the TRUTH! as to why M&M's/Mars decided to do away with all but bite-sized bars?
What I figure is that one of two things (maybe both) are going on and they both are a result of the Smartest Negros in the World.

MEchell is leaning on candy companies to only make 250 calorie bars, or
The cost of everything is going up because of her husband- so they're selling the machines that make different sizes. You know, make everything the same size and sell the other machines..and put the people that worked on them out the door.

I'm glad I learned how to make my own chocolate candy- and I can make them as big as I want!

You can too-
Get a $2.75 chunk of white chocolate bark, a jar of Dry Roasted peanuts and some coarse Sea salt.

On very low heat- break up the chocolate (I like white chocolate- your mileage may vary, but try it) and melt till is molten- don't let it get too hot (if you can't hold the pan in your hand - it's too hot)
Add the whole jar of peanuts.
Stir well.
On a cookie sheet (or two- depending on how big you make them) lay wax paper down.
Make room in the `fridge.

Drop a spoonfull until you run out of room or chocolate-
Sprinkle Sea Salt on top (really it adds POP!)
Then into the `fridge for about half an hour.

Remove from the reefer and peel them off the wax paper, then drop them in a 1 lb a large empty cofee can- or two. It'll fill one up.
Try that with  $5 of your .75c bite-size Mars Bars.

It's Wednesday and no one has mentioned The Walking Dead

Did everyone miss the new episode?

The only thing I took away from it is that Hollywood writers think Georgia farms are stuck in the `50's and don't have heavy equipment (except for an old tractor) to dig graves for ex-people.

And then we have the abused wife who got out of a bad relationship when her husband died in the first season falling for Shane in this last episode and perpetrating the whole abused woman falling for the same type of guy idea.

Stay tuned for them to run off together.

The digital divide

At least I'm on the right side of it.

Doing MTO's on a gasline replacement at home from PDF files. Now, if we only had a screen that I could mark off what I've already taken care of...
You know, like paper prints and pencils.

Breaking news in the Starbucks wars

Karen got home from work (at Starbucks, in gun tot'n San Antonio) and reported no running gun battles in the linen aisle and no blood spattered walls in the coffee shop.

I guess the caffeine didn't kick in till they got out in the parking lot...

To put this in context

Watch these newsies getting all righteous and and picking on the poor woman here:
 

Then remember Billy Ray:



"I can see!"

The useless tool, Sean Penn

Is in Argentina right now making nice to their hot president babe.

He's telling the Brits that they have to return the Falkland islands back to Argentina- because it was theirs first- or something.

Tell you what Skuzzoli, you make an example by giving YOUR land back to it's original owners. I'm sure you can find them on a decrepit reservation somewhere.

But you wouldn't even think about that because your a typical Liberal hypocrite.

Truth

If you're going to give money to help animals, give to the local.
They use it for more than just making more money.

So, "infrastructure" is the new bussword of the day?

Not only is King Putt using it as another excuse for a stimulus, but the RINO Boehner is going to use it too.

This time they're going to fix the highways- like they were going to "fix" the infrastructure with the money they wasted in the last two "Stimuli" that went to ,,,,ummm not bridges, because all of ours are all of  sudden falling down.
Highways? That's a state thing, Transportation? Well the UAW does make cars....

So now we have people on both sides of the aisle talking about needing to fix infrastructure, just like fat stupid kids are a threat to our national security- right MEchelle?

I've seen these girls before

And recently. Last time they were getting topless for (or against) some kind of hockey thing...

Now they're getting topless in the snow for something about gasprom-

Gee- imagine that- something happened to the feed from a protest in Russia- good thng the #Occupy crowd wasn't there or they'd know what a *real* police state was like.

Try this?

(They're called FEMEN, I guess they're like paid #Occutards who doff their tops for money.)
Yes, I told you they were topless- and cold as you can see.

Are they some kind of Ukrainian #Occutards?

H/T KisP

I would so love to jump on this...

But unfortunately no matter how pretty, I have bills to pay.


 Add a peep sight on the tang...


Le sigh...

One more reasom soccer doesn't work in America

Because this is what I took away from this article on a soccer star that makes a goal and someone famous dies.

He's a star and has only made FOUR goals since we offed OBL!
A soccer star.

If we had a Field Goal kicker that only made four goals in a year, he'd be off the team.

I'm speechless

I am in absolute awe at the stupidity.

We're broke. Why are we doing this?

That's a bit strange...

No mention of any involvement in the Tea Party.

Because anyone who's going to try killing the Governor of Utah MUST be involved in some of those conservative crackpot protests.

Whoever Nicki Minaj is

I guess she is some kind of performer because she took the time last night to sing a song supposedly mocking the catholic Church...
Well, that's two and a half minutes I'll never get back.
I don't know what was so bad about it, except for the whole act, but it would be bad even if it wasn't a take-off on the Church.

Ok,  Nicki Minaj- or Roman or whatever, lets see how cutting edge you are and do something to insult Islam.

Ten months from now?

Yeah, no problem.
The catholic Church will get over that contraceptive mandate and be eating out of 0bamas hand agin.

You look for it, I try to deliver

I hope this was the Magenta you were looking for:

What a story of survival.

Go over to Jeffros and read the whole story of a cat called Lucky.

I wonder how the PETArds will take it?

Dear #Occupy

Look this up online:
Romans 13:13 & 14
Then try to explain it your buddies, the union thugs.

Also, as long as I'm there. You godless atheists should really have your speechwriters  look at the context before you start spouting biblical snips that sound good.

But then again, only bitter clingers would get the whole "Brothers keeper" thing...so carry on Chocolate Warrior.

I'm not an engineer

But I do understand basic physics and the laws of motion.
So I don't understand how this-
Changes to the rules this year have forced engineers to lower the front of the cars in an effort to improve safety. The regulations are intended to keep one vehicle from intruding upon the cockpit area of another in the event of a T-bone-type collision.
Would make designers choose this to accomplish that idea
Unless they made the weak spot right in front of the tires, because otherwise I can see the first thing to break off would be those vertical pylons under that sharp nose.

Guess where

I'm going to take out the names and places, guess who and where they're talking about.


XXXXXXX-- Xxxx election observers say that presidential hopefuls running against Xxxx-Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx face "biased" reports by Xxxx-controlled media and constant government pressure.

Tiny Cox, who heads the Council of Zzzzz mission to Xxxxx, said Saturday that all four candidates complain that Xxxxx's government is using its "administrative resources" to influence voters, while Xxxxx television extensively covers Xxxx's activities.


Link will be in comments later today.

All of you on the bandwagon for Willard

The ones who are now crowing about his two wins yesterday in The YANKEE state of Main (barely edging out Libertarian RP)- and the win at CPAC.

I'd like to remind you of what you said about the Santorum wins...It doesn't mean anything, you didn't get delegates from Maine.
 “In the long term [Santorum’s wins in Missouri, Minnesota, and Colorado\] it doesn’t matter,” said GOP strategist Dan Hazelwood told the Daily News, noting Santorum has simply found a niche in low-turnout, intensely conservatives caucuses.
As for CPAC- I'm glad you won, because the last winner in an election year was RON Paul- and we know ho well that went over.
It looks like the didn't have a CPAC voet in `04, or any for the previous four years of the LAST TIME they got it right in 2000 with Bush- or before.

Guess?

What's that white stuff?

I have the TeeWee on as background noise

It's about the only reason I still have cable.

I just changed the channel from reruns of  'The Walking Dead" to SciFi SyFy and the 2012 adaptation of  Jules Verns  'The Mysterious Island'.

What I've seen so far is a reporter from the New York Times being an annoying asshole, and a Southern boy who's the Hollywood idea of a Southern racist (I guess they got the verbiage from their buddies when they know blacks aren't around I'll be watching a rerun-

Thanks for ruining a good book Hollywood.

If was a betting man

I'd lay money down that Nohl Rosen is an Obama loving Liberal.

Who is Nohl Rosen you ask?
He's a guy who saw that Doritos commercial about the Great Dane burying a cat collar.
This one:

And why do you think he's a dark blue Liberal, Kurt?
Because he's got about ten cats and has started a petition to get that Doritos commercial off-air.
-And he's boycotting Frito-Lay and Pepsi until they censor themselves for him...and the other PETArds who want to sign his petition.

You can got to Murphy s place to get the whole story because he deserves the hits and not cat-boy.

Kind of sad in a way

But it does kind of show the hand of chance.
94 years ago an Allied shell landed on a German underground shelter on the Western Front. 21 Germans were buried alive and only recently were discovered.

This makes Planed Parenthood sad :-(

I found this chart from a blog I can't remember now (sorry) that has this chart showing how young adults are coping with the 0bameny.
But HEY! at least they got Komen to cave!

That reminds me

I was on FB and one of the ads I noticed was this one:

and I wondered what's Laurie Dhue doing now?
