Another Crooked Politico Takes A Fall
2007-07-31 16:04:00 Former Speaker of The North Carolina House, Jim (He's done nothing wrong) Black, Began serving a five year stint in stir yesterday. Jimbo got convicted of a number shady legislations,loans, bribes, and so on. You know, what ever he thought he could get away with. Even took a wad of bribe cash in a restaurant bathroom. The investigation continues and Jimmy (He's done nothing wrong) Black could get more time. He is already 70 years old, so don't expect him to serve his full sentence. In the meantime..The F.B.I. is on Senator Stevens, from Alaska, like white on rice. So we will keep an eye on that and see where it goes... But you know...as long as our Justice Systems keeps slapping these guys on the wrist, this crap is going to continue. Of course The legislatures won't increase the penalties for fear that THEY will be caught someday, and will have to suffer the fate of those penalties.. Thats why they grant themselves pardon power, and keep the penalties light. Five years... out ... More About: News , Politico , Fall , Rook , Poli

Implementing the recommendations will fundamentally change the way the president and the Congress deal with matters related to terrorism, making us more unified and more effective. That is because this bill closes loopholes and weaknesses that terrorists seek to exploit.? . What was she talking about? I often wonder that myself. She was talking about implementing more changes as per the 911 Commission?s findings. . CNN reports: ?

Obama Yo' Mama
2007-07-29 16:37:00 The comedic vocalist, Ray Stevens, produced a song with the title of "Osama Yo' Mama " in reference to the 911 attacks.

While watching an address that Obama delivered, I noticed 2 things: . 1. His opening statements, in their general nature, were matters on which any American could agree. . 2.

Senate Approve $3 Billion For Border Enforcement
2007-07-28 02:12:00 It is certainly good news that the U.S. Senate approved $3 Bil for Border Enforcement. It came on the Homeland Security Bill , and not on an Immigration Bill. That's cool. That's where it should be. Money is going for hiring and training new Border Patrol and I.C.E. Agents , as well as Ground Radar, Fencing, and Airial Drones. Some language in the Bill to allow Law Enforcement to investigate legal status of suspected Illegals got into some trouble . but after some rewording, it was included.... Guess Who had a problem with it....Yep, Good Ole Harry Reid...

District Court Strikes Down Local Anti-Illegal Immigration Ordinance
2007-07-27 14:24:00 Judge James Munley has struck down Hazelton, Pennsylvania's recently enacted anti-illegal immigration ordinances. Those ordinances, in part, prohibited landlords from renting to Illegals,and prohibited Illegals from obtaining business lisences, even though the ordinances were crafted by immigration lawyers in concert with U.S. immigration law. Many other local governments have passed similar ordinances, and Hazelton has appealed to the 3rd Circuit Court. Eventually this will end up in the Supreme Court. At issue is; do local jurisdictions have the right to enact ordinances to protect their communities when Federal Authorities have not , or are unable to enforce Federal Law. My question is, if someone is in the country illegally, how is it possible that they can enter into a contract to rent, or purchase a home, purchase an automobile, or utilities?? What guarantee does the seller have that the purchaser will not leave or be deported from the country??? How can someone with no Green...

End Of The World
2007-07-26 06:15:00 Our Sun is predicted to burn out in about 5 Billion years. It is generally believed that life on earth will not be possible in about 2.5 Billion years, because of it. The reality is. the Moon contributes as much to life on earth as does the Sun. As the years pass, the gravitational pull on the Moon, by the Earth, decreases. The Moon slips from the Earth a couple of inches each year. As the Moon moves away, the tides decrease. The results are , less oxygen is being produced. That is because the bulk of oxygen does not come from green plants and trees, as you were taught in school. But from the activity of the oceans in flux and the crashing of the hydrogen and oxygen molecules in the water, as well as all of the under sea plants that have released those oxygen molecules into the sea. The Moon will be too far away to effect the Earth's gravitational forces many of millions of years before the Sun starts to go into the Red Dwarf stage.

Ex-C.I.A. Agent warns of Terror Attack bigger than 9-11
2007-07-26 01:56:00 In a recent interview with Michael Scheuer, 22 year C.I.A. veteran, former chief of the Osama Bin Laden unit, and author of the best selling book "Imperial Hubris: Why The West Is Losing The War On Terror " he said that the next terror attack on the United States will be soon, and bigger than the attacks of 9-11 . He said that American politicians are more concerned with getting elected than they are with protecting the American people. "The greatest threat to the United States is it's unsecure border with Mexico. Law enforcement in this country does not even know who is here. The pool of illegal immigrants in this country grows every day." He says we should be looking at the security situation around our oil refineries in Texas. "They are close to the Mexican Border, would be easy to attack, and destroying them has the potential to do massive damage to our economy." More About: News , Agent , Attack

Prince William Cnty. To Deport Illegals
2007-07-18 13:52:00 Prince William County Virginia has applied to The Department of Homeland Security for it's police officers to attend the Cultural and Racism Sensitivity Program. The program is designed to offer law enforcement the techniques needed to establish the legal status of detainees without using race or cultural heritage as the basis to conduct an investigation. Eighteen juristictions have completed the program, and seventy five more have applied. The Department of Justice recomends this course of action, before local law enforcement attempts to detain suspected Illegal Immigrants for Illegal Entry into The United States. A spokesperson for Prince William County pointed out; that the Illegal Immigrant population of the county is 10 % of the total, and it is overcrowding the schools and jails, contributing to gang violence and straining county services, including the health care services.

The National Intelligence Estimate
2007-07-18 02:47:00 The National Intelligence Estimate was released today. The 16 U.S. Intelligence Agencies that contribute to the report have stated that Al-Qaida's recent build up constitutes a "persistent and evolving threat" to The United States. They also state that terrorist cells are enroute to, or may already be in, The United States for the purpose of carrying out an attack on the homeland. Since the members of Al-Qaida are people who were born in, raised in, trained in and have fought in, countries that are of a desert enviroment, they would have little difficulty negotiating the Arizona or New Mexican landscape, should they enter The United States across our southern border. That is ecactly what they have said they will do. And to date...they have been true to their word. It may already be too late to secure the Mexican Border. But late..is better than never.

Real Right Now Threat to America

All legitimate concerns, to be sure. But...the GREATEST crisis facing the United States, HANDS DOWN...IS Border Security and Illegal Immigration Control.

Corporate profits went from 17.7 % to 20.9 %. Great news ...right??? Yeah...so how is it that the buying power of the average American worker went down 2.9 % in comparison??? Not to worry...the average C.E.O. now earns about 262 times as much as the average worker. In 1965, it was 24 times as much. Since 1992, C.E.O. salaries are up 186 %. Since 2000, those in the top 1 % income bracket, have seen 50.4 % increase in pay. The middle class received about 14 % more in earnings. Poor folks got 3.4 % more money over the five year period. Starting pay for high school AND college grads are down. Jobs with benefit packages are down.
