Look back at a letter fromr kings jail and the life and death of medgar evers. [captioning performed by the national captioning institute] a legend when he was only 12 and he said when he asked his father why would they him and his father said that is what they do. So he said im sure he was a bit angry, frustrated. He was hurt. So getting away from it, i said away from mississippi he he wasd not army when only 16 and served in world war ii. Defendingabout america. It didnt matter about the color of his skin until he came back his to mississippi and on 21st birthday he tried to register to vote. Charles whorother was also a veteran and other veterans and these group of them aroundrned with shotguns and ran them off and medgar says we ran, we did not go up against those men but made medgar get serious.

A pretty lengthy timeframe. You dont get to stay around that long unless you are really good at what you do, or just really lucky. I suggest those of those are good things. It doesnt hurt to be both. As he shared with you, and some thatu might have heard there are some interesting things going on back in my home state. Right now, there are a few Public Officials in travis withy who have taken issue an exercise of my constitutional veto authority. ,hese are fundamentally principles that are very important. Namely, a governors power to veto legislation and funding, and the right of free speech. I am very confident in my case, will can assure you that i fight this attack of our system of government, and with my fellow citizens, both i amlicans and democrats, to defend our constitution and stand up for the rule of law in the state of texas. [applause] to all of you who work here at ,eritage or at National Review you are for Republican Leaders across the way. You have for 5. 5 years been am
Inconveniences, we still like to do things democratically. We are seeing this misuse of president ial power right now. And one of the issues that brings us here today, and that is, the integrity of our nations security, our nations border. We have a crisis on our nations border that is entirely under the president s authority to deal with under the law, but he will not fully and consistently enforce the laws as they are written. That is, requiring the protection of our borders against unlawful entry. And he wants to establish new laws, such as the amnesty of 2012 without the consent of congress.

Next congress convenes with a Republican House and a republican senate. [applause] he will get a little taste. You will get a little taste of checks and balances. He has an appointment, if you will, come january 3, with constitutional limits. The election of 2014 is americas last chance to pass judgment on the obama presidency. And something tells me hes not going to like it. You know, how different it is, as we look back now, when you think about how his presidency began. He came in the crying the smallness, the pettiness of washington and washington politics. He was the constitutional lawyer that was going to govern a different way, uniting the country and building respect across party lines. And maybe you remember the part about improving americas standing in the world. There were all kinds of offenses for us to atone for. Our reputation, we were told, needed some polishing, and he was the right guy for the job. The constitutional law background is worked out in a rather interesting
Opinion on the isis strand has changed in the two weeks since u. S. Airstrikes began. The phone lines are open. You can catch up with us on social media pages. Up you can email us. The good friday morning. The story on the isis threat and calls to expand military efforts is leading many of the main papers. This is the Washington Times. That story notes that the beheading of james fully has prompted american officials to knit together a broader and a National Campaign to combat the extremists of the Islamic State. And raised in defense of secretary was also at that briefing of the white house. Was asked would have threat isis poses. Andt is as wellfunded sophisticated as any group we have seen. They are beyond a terrorist group. They marry ideology and a andistication of strategic tactical military prowess. They are wellfunded. This is beyond anything that we have seen. We must prepare for everything. The only you do that is take a look at it. Hagel is not the only one talking about the
