Living in Texas and knowing some Dream Kids, this scares me and makes me want to cry.
There are stringent requirements to be a Dreamer. First, they must be “of good moral character,” which would eliminate most members of congress.
Hewitt is a fair-sized town outside of Waco, where, as you know, nothing is fair.
Hewitt has a police department. It also has had a firearms instructor for that police department.
The firearms instructor for the Hewitt Police Department is recovering from surgery after accidentally shooting himself in the left hand while teaching family members to shoot.
According to reports, Sgt Heath Vanek was teaching his family to shoot a pistol. Prior to shooting himself, he was “teaching them how to clear a semi-automatic pistol’s chamber in case the gun jams.” Likely story.
[Chief Jim] Devlin said Vanek, 35, declined comment Friday about his accidental injury.
Yeah, I suppose “I was aiming for my mother in law’s head,” wouldn’t be a proper thing to say.

In case y’all wonder what I do when I’m not here it’s stuff like this. http://www.outsmartmagazine.com/2014/08/republicans-hold-2016-convention-cleveland-ohio/
Okay, okay, you know it pains me to put a link to Breitbart, but there is apparently no way around it and still be able to tell you the coolest story of the day.
Louie Gohmert is so damn weird that even the Republicans, who have cornered the market on weird, think he’s weird.
So Boehner called a Republicans Only / No Girls Allowed Club meeting over the fake “border crisis.” Gohmert set about hacking off everybody. The subject came up of Becky Tallent, the speaker’s immigration aide. Gohmert thinks she has too much heart, plus she’s a girl.
So Gohmert questions the Boehner about her. (Now, I need to tell you to be real careful about opening this link. It’s Breitbart and when you go there, all manner of new windows automatically open trying to sell you a movie called “The World is Ending! The World is Ending! And We’re Serious About It This Time.” When you try to close the window, up pops all these dire warning that you’re gonna die if you don’t watch this movie. People who go to Breitbart should be on their front porch throwing rocks at little children instead of being trusted on the computer machine.)
Anyway …
Gohmert asks Boehner about Becky Tallent.
Boehner rose from his chair and told Gohmert to knock it off, that he was “sick” of him bringing up Tallent. According to one member present, Boehner was visibly angry, “erupting” out of his chair to address Gohmert.
As Boehner turned back around, Gohmert stood silently for a moment before asking, “So then why did you hire her?”
Without getting back up to the microphone, his voice raised, Boehner retorted, “because she’s well-qualified on immigration!”
Tallent was in the room during the Boehner-Gohmert dust-up, and several Republicans said the episode was painfully awkward to watch.
One Republican at the meeting called Gohmert’s conduct “disturbing” and “deranged” and said “Boehner did exactly the right thing, and I only wish he’d expelled Gohmert from the room.”
I only have one thing to say to John Boehner. Dude, he’s yours. You help create his gerrymandered district. You nuzzled up to the religious right when you needed their vote. Dr. Frankenstein, Louie Gohmert is your monster.
Dr. Frankenstein called his monster “a vile insect” and “abhorred devil.” Yep, that pretty much sums up Louie Gohmert.
Welcome to our world, Boehner.
Thanks to Brian for the heads up.
Louie Gohmert.
I can see you preparing yourself.
Louie says those little nincompoops from Central America are lying about coming from a dangerous place.
“Texas and the United States is [sic] being invaded and we’re in danger,” Gohmert said, before alleging that most of the unaccompanied minors are lying when they tell border patrol agents that they are escaping gang violence in Central America and have been coached to make such claims. Gohmert said minors end up telling officers that “we were told to say that we were fleeing gang violence.”
Yeah, you know all the violence in Central America? Just like climate change – made up. Just a left wing conspiracy.
And if they’re lying about that, what else are they lying about? That they are humans? That they are hungry? That they did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky?
You cannot trust little hungry children, y’all.

Being ever so careful since being punked last week, it appears that this is really true.
And lucky for us, the truth is even worse that the fiction. And that’s why satire is dead, dammit.
The satire is that she wanted to put refugee children labor camps. The ruth is that she dead solid certain that President Obama is bringing these children here for medical experimentation.
Rep. Michelle Bachmann has a new theory about the unaccompanied minors fleeing violence in Central America who have come in large numbers to the southern U.S. border: they are future victims of a liberal plot to use unwilling children for medical experiments.
You know, because liberals are so mean to children and all.
To her credit, she does call the idea “sick,” but she’s sure it’s true and Darlin’, that’s even sicker.
Thanks to Karl for the heads up.
