Obama Admin Cuts Off Law Enforcement Funding to DNC Host Philadelphia

A new Justice Department policy announced last week bars sanctuary cities such as Philadelphia, the host of the Democratic National Convention, from receiving millions of dollars worth of federal law enforcement grants, putting further pressure on Pennsylvania Democrats to abandon policies that impede federal immigration officials.

The Justice Department notified cities last Thursday that they would no longer receive federal law enforcement grants, which totaled $3.4 billion in the past five years, if they have laws on the books that interfere with requests for immigration information from federal authorities.

Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney, who implemented the policy that bars cooperation between city law enforcement and federal immigration agents earlier this year, has resisted pressure from the Obama administration to back down on the issue. Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson even traveled to Philadelphia to personally request that Kenney change course but was rejected.

It's too good to be true.

Mayor Kenney has said that he thinks (from today's New York Post):

Pope Francis is "freaking awesome" but Philadelphia Archbishop Charles Chaput is "not Chrisitan" because of his recent guidelines on divorce and remarriage.  Yet, writes Alexandra DeSanctis at National Review, the two clerics agree on Catholic teachings.  The mayor regularly touts his Catholic education, she notes, yet he doesn't comprehend that Chaput's recently stated guidelines reiterate "longstanding Catholic teaching."  And he seems to have "missed the times when Pope Francis espoused teaching--longstanding Catholic teaching--similar to Chaput's guidelines."

A real "rocket surgeon" in the Mayor's office in Philly.

Philly mayors have a long history of being some of the rounder stones in the creekbed.

Jim Kenney is by far the most extreme left of any mayor to date.


My favorite story: 
Philly Mayor Jim Kenney: Idiot Or Democrat? (Video)

  Or is Mayor Jim both because, as we all are painfully aware, being an idiot and being a Democrat politician at the same time are certainly not mutually exclusive labels!

 The art of being a Democrat politician, for anyone who may be unaware, means to politicize every situation possible, ignore facts and to stick to an ideological agenda regardless of the damage it may do to our society.

 Which goes a long way towards answering why it is that Americans feel less safe and why the threat of a terror attack here in the US is more likely than ever!
