A slight change of direction or how to attract invaders: These particular undocumented critters are welcome in most back yards, ours for sure.
During the remote “Stealth Cam” photography (tomorrow) we caught something that not until very recently we were aware of.
If you have a bird ‘feeding station’ you are most likely plagued by squirrels outsmarting you. I’ve heard that a PVC pipe put over the pole or whatever you use to mount your bird feeder works, I’ve never seen one but it might be useful, me, I’m having too much fun watching what happens when a foreign squirrel attempts to climb our cedar pole. That sounds funny but you’ll see.

Under a plastic bucket we have a squirrel disinfrontagator, (don’t look it up), plugged into an AC outlet at one end and attached to a shielded wire at the other. What is the shielded wire attached to you might ask?

Nine people were arrested Friday and are expected to be charged today in connection with an identity theft ring in Johnson County.

Johnson County sheriff’s deputies, federal immigration officials and representatives of the Kansas Department of Revenue arrested seven people on suspicion of identity theft at Engineered Air near Kill Creek Road and 83rd Street in De Soto. Two others were accused of making false identifications, one at Engineered Air and the other in Olathe.

Deputy Tom Erickson, a spokesman for the sheriff’s department, said charges would be filed today. He said all nine were employees at the company. Erickson said authorities think stolen identities were provided to illegal immigrants. Erickson said law enforcement officials were tipped off about the ring and that the investigation was continuing.

Chamber of Commerce does not support E-Verify!

Did you know?
• All employers are legally required to verify the identity and employment eligibility of all new hires in the United States.

• I-9 violations can result in prison sentences, forfeiture of assets and civil fines.
E-Verify is an online system operated jointly by the Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration (SSA). Participating employers can check the work status of new hires online by comparing information from an employee's I-9 form against SSA and Department of Homeland Security databases. More than 69,000 employers are enrolled in the program, with over 4 million queries run so far in fiscal year 2008.

Kansas City Star: Unless the powers to be at the Star and at the corporate offices of the owners change their mind-set our hometown, longtime, sometime brother, sometime ignorant and irresponsible partner will, as we know it today, disappear. Look to the radio talk show survivors, they are not Liberals!

Kansas City Star, report the news and write for us not each other!

Well, next week is here and I'm trying REAL hard to come up with reasons to save the Kansas City Star. My wife says yes save the Star, where will she get the coupons & adds, how will we find out who died, who's divorcing and who not to vote for. Who not to vote for? Yep, who not to vote for.

Any candidate the Star endorses is suspect, I most likely will vote for the other guy or gal, (being political correct).

Maybe the Star leans a (little) too far left for most people that can read & think at the same time. In any case I'm still working on a plan for the Star's rise to its former self but getting past 2008's record of terminations or buy outs of something like 200 real people is hard to overcome. Speaking of correcting one's self; my wife reads the articles & comics too.

Illegal immigrants living in public housing raising eyebrows

By Elliot Spagat,

The Associated Press

01/01/2009
Untold thousands of illegal immigrants live in public housing at a time when hundreds of thousands of citizens and legal residents are stuck waiting years for a spot.Illegal immigrants make up a tiny portion of the 7.1 million people in federal housing, according to government statistics. But authorities may be unaware of thousands more, and critics say no illegal immigrant should get housing benefits.
The issue made headlines in November with news that Zeituni Onyango, an aunt of President-elect Barack Obama, was living in Boston public housing while in the country illegally.
The federal government, which funds the lion's share of the nation's public housing, requires only that illegal immigrants share a home with at least one family member who is in the country legally and pay their share of the rent.

Is Kansas City a Sanctuary City?

If you are a Kansas City Missouri resident or are employed within the city and you are Okay with paying two full time police officers with all their gear upwards of $100,000.00 a year to assist legal and illegal aliens with their employment and housing then theres no reason to read or link further.
