This morning Big Government broke the story about an attempt by ACORN to obstruct justice by dumping documents into a trash bin just before a visit from the California AG's office: ...Interestingly, the local head ACORN organizer in California, David Lagstein was caught on tape earlier this month speaking to an East County Democratic Club. Mr. Lagstein stated: “…the attorney general is a political animal, but certainly every bit of the communication we have had with them has suggested that the fault will be found with the people that did the video and not the people with ACORN.” Continuing, Mr....

Booyah!* … UK Telegraph. BBC: Hacking is wrong and issues have two sides! UK Telegraph … Booyah! NYT: Hacking fuels skeptics! Hacking can be embarrassingly revealing, but may eventually lead to a plausible explanation, because “trick” doesn’t mean “deception” and we’re still working on “hide the decline” because we’re convinced the body of evidence shows … (OK, what’s the trick when you need to hide the decline. Lessee, maybe the scientists we just interviewed who confirmed they wrote these emails but hadn’t come up with a good excuse yet can help here. When they do.) Booyah! … UK Telegraph. Charles...

ObamaCare's true cost of the health care bill being proposed by Harry Reid and his fellow Democrat hucksters is $1.8 trillion over ten years, not the $849 billion as deceptively claimed.

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder sought to allay fears that the pending trial of the 9-11 terrorists scheduled for New York City might go wrong. “Look, I guarantee these suspects will be found guilty,” Holder adamantly assured senators during a committee hearing. “We aren’t going into this unprepared. It’s like the “Red Queen” said, verdict first, then the trial.” “However, in the event we get an “OJ-type jury,” they won’t escape consequences,” holder continued. “There are other options. They could be rendered over to another government. And, of course, we can’t guard against every possible misfortune that might befall these...

This theme is very popular in Russian blogs now and Russia Today published a very good video:

Barack Obama's longtime association with unrepentant Weather Underground terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn has caused the presidential candidate some serious political problems. In spite of efforts by Obama's friends in the media to suppress, contain, or explain away the issue, more information about the Ayers-Obama ties has continued to come out. In recent weeks, a number of websites have posted text, audio, or video of an interview with Larry Grathwohl from the 1982 video documentary No Place to Hide: The Strategy and Tactics of Terrorism by the Western Goals Foundation. I worked on that video as a researcher and...

Barack Obama's first visit to Asia since his inauguration was one of the most disappointing trips by any U.S. president to the region in decades, especially given media-generated expectations that "Obamamania" would make it yet another triumphal progression. It was a journey of startlingly few concrete accomplishments, demonstrable proof that neither personal popularity nor media deference really means much in the hard world of international affairs. The contrast between Asia's reception for Obama and Europe's is significant. Although considered a global phenomenon, Obamamania's real center is Europe. There, Mr. Obama reigns as a "post-American" president, a multilateralist carbon copy of...

Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Nipplitaliano, denied rumors that Major Nidal Hasan was working undercover for her agency when he went on his shooting spree at Fort Hood in Texas two weeks ago. “Yes, it’s true that Major Hasan participated in a presidential transition task force last year,” Nipplitaliano admitted. “But I am disavowing all knowledge of his actions regarding the shootings at Fort Hood.” Nipplitaliano suggested that “Hasan may have misinterpreted our warning about the dangers of gun-toting military veterans and taken it upon himself to act unilaterally to try to reduce this threat by culling potential recruits to...

Health Care Reform Support for Health Care Plan Falls to New Low Just 38% of voters now favor the health care plan proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats. That’s the lowest level of support measured for the plan in nearly two dozen tracking polls conducted since June. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 56% now oppose the plan. Half the survey was conducted before the Senate voted late Saturday to begin debate on its version of the legislation. Support for the plan was slightly lower in the half of the survey conducted after the Senate vote....

“We believe in white supremacy and black inferiority and believe it more than we believe in God,” Jeremiah Wright preached. And this: “How many children of biracial parents can make it in a world controlled by racist ideology?” I don’t believe Barack Obama saying he never sat under Jeremiah Wright’s preaching rant sermons against America. It is simply impossible to believe that considering Wright’s hatred for America and whites especially.

... Question: But given that Bob Bauer was willing to risk his license to practice law by tricking the court into taking judicial notice of misleading facts that, at best, could only establish Barack Obama was a “native” born citizen, anyway, and which notice he would have to message in order to dupe Americans into believing this meant, his client was also Constitutionally qualified for POTUS; why was he unwilling to risk his license on Nancy Pelosi’s Certifications, which explicitly stated, his client was Constitutionally qualified for the job of POTUS, judicial notice of which fact the court likely would...

Welcome to the People’s Republic of Amerika! B. Hussein Obama, George Soros and Congress have so much planned for you......

On Friday a report was issued by two Republican Senators contending that the Obama White House was politically motivated when it fired inspector general Gerald Walpin after his 2008 investigation of Kevin Johnson, now Sacramento's mayor. The report by Senators Issa and Grassley criticizes the White House ethics counsel, for not examining what Walpin had been investigating at the time of his dismissal, including the allegations of sexual misconduct by Johnson and hush-money used to cover up the misconduct. The report asserted that Michelle Rhee, now Johnson's fiancee, made the payoffs. New Documents show that immediately after Mr. Walpin was...

For those of you who are not familiar with the term, Chutzpa it means unmitigated gall. It has best been described as a man who kills his father and mother and then throws himself on the mercy of the court on the grounds that he’s an orphan. OPEC has Chutzpah. The oil cartel has been milking the rest of the world for decades by helping to keep oil prices artificially high. Now it's members are saying they might need a bailout. Led by Saudi Arabia, OPEC is telling the world that as the world moves to green energy, and use...

For those of us “skeptics” and “deniers” who have been jumping up and down, pointing at the Sun, and saying, “See, it’s the Sun that determines how warm or cool the Earth is. See it? Up there in the sky?” The truth about some of the scientists behind the global warming hoax has finally arrived. The hoax has its roots in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), an instrument of the United Nations Environmental Program, for whom global warming was the open sesame to achieving a one-world-government by scaring nations into signing a treaty that would control their use...

Updated mailing address for Rifqa Bary. Flood the authorities with letters. Let them know we're watching. Rifqa Bary is imprisoned in solitary confinement in Ohio for the "crime" of converting from islam to Christianity.

Five years ago, the 9/11 commission reported that Khalid Shaihk Mohammed initially proposed a Sept. 11 attack involving 10 planes that would be used to attack CIA and FBI headquarters, unidentified nuclear plants and tall buildings in California and Washington state. KSL told interrogators that he planned to lead the hijacking of one aircraft himself. He intended to kill every adult male passenger aboard, then land at a U.S. airport and make a “speech denouncing U.S. policies in the Middle East before releasing all the women and children,” according to the report. Now, thanks to President Obama he will get...

Well they did it. Not out in the open, of course. Under cover of a Saturday night "procedural vote." After the $100 million according to the press, $300 million according to her ("I am not going to be defensive. And it's not a $100 million fix. It is a $300 million fix,") Louisiana Purchase of Senator Mary Landrieu. Hundreds of millions of OUR dollars used to pay off the wavering Louisiana Senator in order to secure her vote. I don't have words for this. None that won't get me in trouble. I worked with a guy who once said to...

Update: Looks like the "missing" hockey stick data has been found: documents\mbh98-osborn\mbh98\TREE\ITRDB\ORIG\251tar\ If so, that there is the ballgame. Shock and surprise at the conduct of particular individuals within the CRU seem the order of the day. I'm not quite sure why. If, indeed, the disclosures are genuine (and it certainly appears on first blush that they are) how is it news that "scientists" embroiled in what long ago ceased to be scientific research and now amounts to a political campaign would cut corners, sabotage critics, conceal or even destroy data and analysis, massage results and graphics and otherwise act...

Aside: apparently what has been released is about 1/2 of the total copied from CRU. We do not know if what has been released is cherry picked and the remaining material fills in the blanks exhonorating everyone of any wrong doing, or if there is more to come. According to RealClimate, whatever is there, it will not be evidence of scientific malpractice such as tampering with data, and that’s good enough for me. The frame Since seeing the emails we have been responding by: pointing out that while some (and only a few) of them sound dubious, there’s no actual...

The Republican leader, Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, said the vote was anything but procedural — casting it as a referendum on the bill itself, which he said would raise taxes, cut Medicare and create a “massive and unsustainable debt.” McConnell: It’s a ‘Monstrosity of a Bill’

Ace videographer Dave Miles kindly sent along these superb videos from the Rifqa Rally for human rights and religious freedom, Columbus, Ohio, November 16.

The Franklin county, Ohio Juvenial Detention Center allows inmates to recieve mail. Therefore.. Rifqa should be able to recieve Christmas cards from well wishers starting now. You just have to have your return address on the letter and follow a few simple rules HERE. I am sending her a Christmas card and hope that others will do likewise. Thank you, and God Bless.

We, the citizens of the United States of America, aware of our civil rights and in an effort to stop Al Gore and the I.P.P.C. from instilling false fears in the minds of the American People, hereby express our disapproval of Al Gore's and the I.P.P.C.'s refusal to hold a debate in-regards to Global Warming. We are aware of more than 30,000 scientist who disagree with the Global Warming theories Al Gore and the I.P.P.C. are trying to push. On the basis of the above, we demand Al Gore and the I.P.P.C. hold a fair and equal debate with Scientist...

For late-19th-century anarchists, terrorism was the "propaganda of the deed." And the most successful propaganda-by-deed in history was 9/11 -- not just the most destructive, but the most spectacular and telegenic. And now its self-proclaimed architect, Khalid Sheik Mohammed, has been given by the Obama administration a civilian trial in New York. Just as the memory fades, 9/11 has been granted a second life -- and KSM, a second act: "9/11, The Director's Cut," narration by KSM.

So why is Attorney General Eric Holder doing this? Ostensibly, to demonstrate to the world the superiority of our system where the rule of law and the fair trial reign. Really? What happens if KSM (and his co-defendants) “do not get convicted,” asked Senate Judiciary Committee member Herb Kohl. “Failure is not an option,” replied Holder. Not an option? Doesn’t the presumption of innocence, er, presume that prosecutorial failure — acquittal, hung jury — is an option? By undermining that presumption, Holder is undermining the fairness of the trial, the demonstration of which is the alleged rationale for putting on...

When you hear about ACORN getting help from the Justice Department (DOJ), most people hope it refers to the community organizing group getting an nice small room with bars, a warm bed and three squares a day. Unfortunately this is about the criminal enterprise ACORN, receiving money from the US department charged with maintaining law and order. The Office of the Inspector General of the Justice Department investigated whether the DOJ had provided grants to ACORN. The investigation covered whether: * ACORN applied for federal funds through DOJ-administered grant programs * ACORN received federal funds through DOJ-administered grant programs *...

This is the global warming version of the Pentagon Papers, when Daniel Ellsberg stole a top-secret study of American Decision making during the Vietnam war and gave it to the NY Times. A Hacker got into the files of the computers at the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit (Hadley CRU) and released 61 megabites these confidential files onto the internet. What these files outline is a systematic cover-up of science disproving global warming the climate change moonbats. According to the BBC, A university spokesman confirmed the email system had been hacked and that information was taken and published...

The latest United Nations concern is the fear of a global food shortage. However, the U.N. and the United States are to blame for the crisis. It is interesting that food shortages in the world first became apparent over the last decade coinciding with the US-led effort to change the world's industry from growth to stagnation in an attempt to convert it to a green-based economy.

Despite the efforts of Obama administration to go after Gerald Walpin personally, it looks as if the scandal that the former IG was trying to investigate may be bursting out of its cover -up. Until a few months Wolpin was the inspector general for AmeriCorps. He claims he was fired because he made the mistake of Investigation a friend of Obama (FOB), Kevin Johnson former NBA star who is now mayor of Sacramento, California, for the misuse of AmeriCorps funds. Pressed for a reasoning for the dismissal the Administration trashed Walpin hinting that he was in the early stages of...

"... it’s apparent that Alinsky sought to give them something much more important than rules for radicals. He wanted to give them meaning for life. In the prologue he continued, “Today’s generation is desperately trying to make some sense out of their lives and out of the world. . . . The young are . . . looking for what man has always looked for from the beginning of time, a way of life that has some meaning or sense.” On the last page of this manual that teaches community organizers how to take from the “Haves” and give to...

I often write emails to pals of mine that are in shorthand, that take many things for granted, that begin with understood knowledge, and that if they were read out of context could be construed as damning. It’s easy to do produce indictments. It’s as simple as adding “in bed” to the end of Chinese fortune cookies. “You will have great success in the future” suddenly takes on an entirely new meaning for somebody intent on discovering an x-rated conspiracy among fortune cookie writers. So, caution, friends. Be careful. For those who don’t know, the University of East Anglia Climate...

Just when we thought it was all over, the ACORN Pimp/Hooker Scandal rises again. Our heroes, Hannah Giles and James O' Keefe the fake pimp and hooker were in Philadelphia meeting with the folks at ACORN. Next Stop, Sunny Los Angeles. The first tape released from the ACORN of sunny LA was of Felix Harris Mr. Harris didn’t care about that the two were involved with prostitution in regards to a housing loan, but when the O'Keefe/Giles team started talking about underage girls, he said that ACORN did not get involved with things like that. Felix was the only person...

What will Marxist Muslim Barack Hussein Obama say about this videocast? Muslim Obama will say nothing denouncing this advocate to overthrow our democracy for it is his brethren preaching revolution.

In the most egregious violation of Rifqa's Bary's civil rights, Rifqa is being denied essential contact with the outside world. Her laptop has been confiscated. And now friends of hers are being denied the right to see her. And the couple of people who were allowed to see her in the past were fingerprinted. She has been in Ohio for two weeks, and still there is no "pre-approved list" of visitors for Rifqa. On more than one occasion Rifqa has asked and been denied her request to see friends. At a previous almost covert hearing that was held, Mohamad and...

NEW YORK/LONDON (Reuters) – Gold rose to a record high above $1,150 an ounce on Wednesday as stronger-than-expected U.S. consumer prices and a steadily weakening dollar stirred inflation fears. Spot gold hit an all-time high of $1,152.75 an ounce and was at $1,142.55 an ounce at 3:08 p.m. EST (2008 GMT), against $1,141.50 late in New York on Tuesday. U.S. December gold futures settled up $1.80 at $1,141.20 an ounce on the COMEX division of NYMEX.

Attorney General Eric Holder's decision to bring self-professed 9/11 mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and four of his alleged co-conspirators to trial in New York City is a disaster. Barring a repetition in civilian court of an earlier confession, it is at least as likely that the terrorist known internationally by his initials, KSM, will be set free as it is that he will be executed for the murder of nearly 3,000 innocent Americans eight years ago.

Should KSM and other 9/11 terrorists be tried on American soil six blocks from the WTC or by a military tribunal?

Have you ever asked "why"???!! Why is it that our Constitution for the united states of America states that our federal government has two basic responsibilities to the states, one, to protect our shores from foreign invasion, and two, to deliver the mail; yet...

Who was the panelist on Hannity's TV show 11/17/09 who kept being ignored because he said all employees would be AUTOMATICALLY registered to vote and Obama did not intend to lose any elections? Thanks.

The Obama Administration via Attorney General Holder has announced that they will try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM) in the US, specifically New York. The location of the trial is rationalized as the so-called location of where the crime was committed. As with many things liberals foist upon the public it seems to make some shallow sense until we start digging beneath the surface. Why would President Obama and liberals in general insist on the location of the trial being in the jurisdiction of the crime? In general principle of US Law, the trial of any defendant should occur as a...

Columnist Bill Turner looks at Alinksy, Obama as Muslim-In-Chief and urges Americans to fight on against the radicalization of the United States of America by left-wing Marxists.

Terrorist: Adjective or Noun: A radical who employs terror as a political weapon; usually organizes with other terrorists in small cells; often using religion as a cover for terrorist activities. When the Cambridge incident happened, President Obama hastily reacted with the infamous quote, “He acted stupidly”. He openly admitted that he did not have all of the details nor did he know the entire story, but was willing to state publicly that the officer had acted stupidly. Here, we have a radical Muslim in the United States Army who had opened fire on over 50 of his unarmed comrades as...
