This stuff is great. I've noticed that an alarming number of postings from conservative tabloid sites all lead with some form of

BOMBSHELL!!!

Yet never actually report on anything substantial or rarely even cite credible references.

The first link refers it's based on another report that doesn't say anything different.

So all this hype is over a local sheriff's Facebook post???

Really???

Hey Spence: Here is the letter from the DHS.GOV site:

http://www.dhs.gov/news/2015/02/03/s...y-grant-making

Quote:
Statement by Secretary Jeh C. Johnson on the Consequences of our Homeland Security Grant-Making without a DHS Appropriations Bill

Release Date:
February 3, 2015


For Immediate Release
DHS Press Office
Contact: 202-282-8010
In recent days I have repeatedly stressed the need for a DHS appropriations bill for FY 2015, unburdened by politically charged amendments that attempt to defund our executive actions on immigration reform. The President has made plain that he will veto a bill that includes such language.
As long as this Department -- which interfaces with the public more than any other -- is funded by a continuing resolution, there are a whole series of activities vital to homeland security and public safety that cannot be undertaken.
One of the many consequences of operating on a continuing resolution is our inability to fund new non-disaster grants to state, local and tribal governments, law enforcement, emergency response officials and fire departments. Every governor, mayor, police chief, county sheriff, emergency manager and fire chief should care about this. These officials know that the grants we provide help them protect their communities. For example, last week when I visited the multi-agency coordinating center in Phoenix responsible for the security of the Super Bowl, officials pointed out to me that almost all the surveillance and communications equipment there was funded by the Department of Homeland Security.
Here are some other examples of the types of state, local and tribal government activities vital to homeland security and public safety that are funded by grants from this Department:
  • salaries for state and local emergency managers in all 50 states, U.S. territories and the District of Columbia;
  • new communications equipment for over 80 public safety agencies in the Los Angeles area to replace aging and incompatible radio systems;
  • surveillance cameras and environmental sensors used by the New York City Police Department to detect in real time potential terrorist activity;
  • increased security for the MTA, PATH trains and tunnels in the New York City area;
  • improved campus security at K-12 public schools, colleges and universities in the state of Florida;
  • K-9 units to detect explosive ordinance in the state of Massachusetts;
  • upgraded oxygen masks and tanks for over 30 firefighter and law enforcement agencies in the Denver metropolitan area;
  • the Arizona Counterterrorism Fusion Center, which provides intelligence and information from this Department to state and local law enforcement there;
  • fifteen mobile command centers for possible catastrophic incidents in the state of Kentucky;
  • 150 firefighter jobs in the city of Detroit; and
  • bomb squads in the state of Idaho.
On behalf of the men and women of this Department who work every day to keep the homeland safe, I urge that Congress pass an appropriations bill for this Department, free of politically charged amendments to defund our executive actions. Time is running short.
For more information, visit www.dhs.gov.

So DHS is pressuring end usergroups to support the DHS budget in its entirety while the House of Reps reviews how to put the budget through without funding the executive actions done on behalf of illegal aliens (constitutional term) by Obama. Does that sum it up sufficiently for you? The Right Wing Bombshell site of DHS.GOV?

What exactly is the administration "threatening" the local police with and how does this have any bearing on the Golvach killing?

it's a pattern with him
cause and effect
He wants to give amnesty and the public suffers, seems f'ed up to me so I say f him impeach him now

bombshell ? follow the evidence
John gave you a good example, did you see that?
strong arm politics Chicago style threatening local enforcement with budget cuts to get his way. seems pretty simple to me, your brain cannot see it though apparently.

I didn't know the Tea party site was a tabloid
most of the entire whack job Democrats are tabloid

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

The article linked stated...

Quote:
BOMBSHELL: Obama Sends Letter Issuing Massive Threat to Sheriffs Across the Country
The DHS memo pretty calmly states to Congress that if they want to play politics with DHS funding it's going to have a direct impact on the people doing the work within their districts.

This isn't a "massive threat" and it's not a BOMBSHELL!!!

Bruce - don't backstep so fast when Spence lays out his response - sometimes he is correct, more often he is not, frequently falling into the space between.

BTW - what Tea Party site is Tabloid? or http://conservativetribune.com/

What Spence doesn't say is that MANY different Political sites can be considered Tabloid, he only says the Tea Party ones are Tabloid. He also meglects to mention that these sites - on both sides of the coin, like the political parties, like to cater to their base.

Bias is only bad if it is the other guys, right?

OMG, OMG, OMG, the used "BOMBSHELL" and then a colon to link to an article which references a true statement made by the DHS. Clearly they are evil and sensationalizing that topic because they used bombshell.

Did the post it in oversized font and in red?

I was responding to the link as posted, not making a broader analysis. My guess would be that there's nothing on the left that compares to the tabloid hype machine on the right.

Tragic, but what does the Constitution have to do with it?

Also to your link, what about Obama's policy constitutes "amnesty" and what about it contributed to this death?

Now I see why you chose to use My Guess rather than opinion as Guess is a judgment based on Special Knowledge given by an Expert.

I'm sur ethat would be your guess, and as usual, it woul dbe demonstrably false.

Obama himself says that "republicans gotta stop just hating all the time".

If y ouwatch MSNBC for any meaningful amount of time, you will hear that conservatives are racists who hate women, are Islamophobic, anti-science, and only care about the rich and hate the environment, poor people, and old people, evidenced by our stated miussion to destroy social security and medicare. Nope, no sensationalkizing there...

It's so common on the left, you don't notice it any more than a fish takes notice of teh fact that it's wet. It becomes the norm.

Clearlt it exists on the right but don't tell me that MSNBC and the Huffiungton Post aren't right up there. The New York Times, for Gods sake, ran a baseless story suggesting that John McCain's adopted daughter, was actually the child produced by an affair he had.

It would be interesting to compare the number and content of negatives aimed at Bush from the left 10 ago vs the ones leveled at Obama currently.
Especially who lied the most between the two of them.
