Never trust a sibling. That seems to be the lesson of this article by the BBC. Still, thank God for Juanita snooping on her thug of a brother, though. Cross-posted at RudyCarrera.com.

This column is in answer to the linked NAACP objection to my column(s). Below are the column in question and the letter. Please read both before perusing my response. http://www.daveweinbaum.com/column100109.html http://www.therolladailynews.com/opinions/letters_to_the_editor/x1340500084/NAACP-takes- issue-with-Weinbaum-online-column First I want to thank the NAACP for providing me with column fodder as this can be problematic on a weekly basis. My initial reaction to this communiqué and that of my liberal-leaning friend, webmaster and former editor of the RDN, Martin Schwartz was: “You (Weinbaum) made an opinion in the op-ed section of the RDN. They (NAACP) disagreed with it. So the NAACP wants to stop this...

First of all, whatever, its great that the so-called "press" is reporting that the GDP grew by 3.5 percent in the 3rd quarter of the 2009 fiscal year. But what they aren't telling you is that it has ACTUALLY grown by much, much more. According to the National Research Firm of Non-Partisan Activists, the annual GDP adjusted for market fluctuations, derivatives, premiums and amortization of dynamic assets is actually about 200 times what is being reported by the so-called "news". Basically, its more than ever, and proves that Rush Limbaugh and the right wingers do NOT know what the hell...

(Actual Title was too long...Here's the original ) One Woman Gives Man and Man's Best Friend a Chance At Redemption In Animal Planet's Pit Bulls And Parolees {snip}Pit bulls are eager to please, faithful and enthusiastic friends and pleasant with children according to credible canine organizations. Really, it's true. Yet, the public largely associates these dogs with fear, danger and unyielding aggression toward people. Pit bulls actually were once ranked among American's top five favorite pets and also known as the "nanny dog" for their gentleness with children. But they have fallen from grace. Now often associated with gang members,...

Top Dog event benefits animal shelter By Pat McCormack pmccormack@bcnnew.com Posted: 10/28/2009 01:00:43 AM EDT Two fortunate pooches -- each a survivor of very close calls -- trotted off with first prizes in the Westport Animal Shelter Advocates' (WASA) first Top Dog show near the basketball court at Compo Beach Sunday. Kobe Heinze, a 72-pound pit bull, won "Top Kisser" honors when he smooched with owner Scott Heinze, a New York City Fire Department paramedic who lives in Westport. Altagracia Heinze co-owns Kobe, who is named after basketball star Kobe Bryant. Abby Chase, meanwhile, a lightweight Sheltie, proudly wore the...

The Palin-hatin' media just keeps pouring it on Sarah Palin. The latest example is Politico's distortion of a report that a pro-family group wants to bring her to Iowa. The Iowa Family Policy Center has asked Team Sarah, which has no formal ties to the former governor, to help it raise $100,000 to stage an event on November 21 for which the organization hopes to book Palin to be the speaker. Team Sarah's Bill Collier says that IFPC has already raised $59,000 for the event, and his group is trying to raise another $41,000. The headline for the Politico piece...

She was a captain in the U.S. Army, assigned to Military Intelligence; but now retired she’s fighting a war on two fronts. Captain Pamela Barnett is lead plaintiff in a case that could lead to the removal and life-time imprisonment of Barack Hussein Obama on charges of high-crimes, election fraud, campaign fraud, and a laundry list of campaign financing violations. But Captain Barnett is not shirking her duty to defend her fellow Plaintiffs in the case: no, she is rebutting the lies and falsehoods promoted by the widely followed, but often errant and politically correct, Bill O’Reilly of Fox News....

An in-depth review of the criminal complaint filed against one of the Jihadi suspects arrested in Chicago yesterday, Tahawwur Rana.

In yet another attempt by the Obama Administration, with the silent help of congress (cowards), our freedom of speech has never been more at risk at being lost than it is right now. Why? Because while Americans were sipping back on a cold tall one, watching baseball and eating popcorn, the enemies were hard at work within our nation; diligently striving to remove the very freedoms we Americas have neglected for far too long . . .

Either Maxine Waters is dumber than a loaf of bread or she thinks that the American voters are all idiots, that can be the only explanation for her amendment to H.R. 3126, legislation to establish a Consumer Financial Protection Agency (CFPA), that will make ACORN eligible to play a role in setting regulations for financial institutions. Yes that ACORN. Mad-Maxine's amendment adds to the CFPA Oversight Board 5 representatives from the fields of "consumer protection, fair lending and civil rights, representatives of depository institutions that primarily serve underserved communities, or representatives of communities that have been significantly impacted by higher-priced...

Have you ever want to say, "You're Fired!" to one of your elected officials, without waiting for the next election. Now you can. Ken Lowder, is one of our readers and a frequent contributor to our Opinion/Editorial pages. Ken is one of those right-wingers who believes in weird stuff like the U.S. Constitution, freedom, the rights of the people. You know the type. You may have some living in your home. I know I do. Anyway, Ken has come up with a great idea to mail “Pink Slips” to members of Congress...

The vast right-wing conspiracy becomes more vast, and stronger, as those crazy Texans get involved and unite Tea Party and 912 and more, oh my! Liberals are stocking up on Ambien, booze and nooses to hang themselves. The conservatives in Texas are just getting started.

Hillel Neuer of UN Watch exposes the hypocrisy of the UN Human Rights Council, the body that created the Goldstone Report. For the first time ever, the Council president, Ambassador Luis Alfonso de Alba of Mexico, rejects a speech as "inadmissible" and bans it from ever being delivered again.

It is important to understand radical Muslim theology, not because it is true, but because some of the people who believe it want to kill you. Likewise, it is important to understand a lesser known theology which may also spawn efforts to harm. This week, Fightin Words entertains the fringe, exploring the New Age movement, theosophy, Luciferianism, and similar paradigms which share a common vision of a coming “enlightenment” or “shift in consciousness” which will subvert the “Old Order” and unify humanity under a single banner. Those who resist this shift will be “holding humanity back,” and are to be...

This video was made especially for Janeane Garofalo and those in the media who seem to think that disagreeing with Obama makes you a racist. These are just a few of the black American patriots who chose to stand up and exercise their First Amendment rights at tea parties and other various rallies and protests. Are these people racists, Janeane? What would you say, Keith? These people are true patriots. God Bless them all and God Bless America.

Anne Lauvergeon, president of Areva, distinguished herself during the Women's Forum Global Meeting on October 15 - 17 in Deauville. For the occasion, 1200 women from the world of business and politics gathered for a few days of "discussions and reflections" around the theme: "Tomorrow!" Judge for yourselves the level of thinking of Madame Lauvergeon, who said of the hiring process: "All things being equal, well, sorry, we would choose, uh, the woman, or we would choose the person who, uh, is anything but a white male, to speak frankly." So tomorrow holds no future for white males, according to...

A fierce war of words has erupted in recent weeks between the two major camps in monetary circles. The first camp - the gold bulls/dollar bears - have been loudly voicing their twin belief that the gold price is poised to skyrocket while the dollar price is perched for a collapse. The other side - the gold bears/dollar bulls - are making the counter claim the gold price is setting up for a crash. There is another train of thought espoused by some that a slow, steady decline of the dollar's exchange value, rather than being a catastrophic event, is...

or over more than 18 months we have watched the gold price churn below $1,000 and in the process forming three tops, before breaking out to above $1,050 in early October 2009. Why will it not fall back to well below $1,000 and possibly as far as $850 this time? We say this because the moves occurred at a time when many facets of the gold market were absent from the gold market, such as investment demand, low jewelry demand and central bank demand. Traders held sway over the gold price and it is they that decided that the moves...

This past March, Heather Heidelbaugh, a Pennsylvania Attorney, testified before Congressman Jerrold Nadler's Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties subcommittee about the fraud perpetuated by ACORN. Her testimony alleged violations of the election code, fraud and misrepresentation, and violations of equal protection and due process. Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) was shocked at the testimony and called for a probe of the Democrat's favorite tax fraud group but Nadler's response was to stonewall. When the Congress voted to cut off funds to ACORN not only did Congressman Nadler vote against the resolution, but make speeches against cutting off the funds saying...

An official announcement by the Obama administration disclosing the reality of extraterrestrial life is imminent. For several months, senior administration officials have been quietly deliberating behind closed doors how much to disclose to the world about extraterrestrial life. Dissatisfaction among powerful institutions such as the U.S. Navy over the decades-long secrecy policy has given a boost to efforts to disclose the reality of extraterrestrial life and technology. The impending disclosure announcement follows upon the secret implementation of a year long openness policy on UFOs and extraterrestrial life. Over the period February 12-14, 2008, the United Nations held closed doors discussions...

I found this recent interview of globalist George Soros discussing the new "financial new world order." He goes into why he thinks the dollar has to be put aside as the major currency used and how China must be involved. He describes the way the ''new world order'' will have operate. Here are a couple choice quotes from Soros. The video is 10 minutes long so there are plenty more: "China will emerge as the mortar replacing the U.S. consumer." "China will be the engine driving it forward. The U.S. will be a drag with the decline of the dollar."...

In light of Cass Sunstein's recent assault on marriage, I humbly repost a piece I did back in July on Obama's ultra-radical regulatory czar... Cass Sunstein, a Harvard law professor and friend to the national Messiah, has been tapped to head the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. The Wall Street Journal has reported that Sunstein was one of the major influences on a young Obama’s attitudes on government regulation and economics, a scary proposition considering the degree to which the Obama administration is attempting to pull us toward Soviet-style communism. According to the Journal, many of those...

On October 14, Lord Christopher Monckton gave a presentation in St. Paul, MN on the subject of global warming.

On a dark humid Florida night a black sedan meanders toward a mansion where a meeting is to take place about an investment opportunity. A Racial Justice Patrol Car, with a SCB (Successful Conservative Bulletin) taped to its dash, sirens screaming, lights flashing, headlights beaming on high blinding anyone looking back, compels a pullover. The two officers, guns drawn, loudspeakers in the other hand shout, “Get out of the car--NOW!” A slimmed down radio talk show host exits, EIB microphone in hand.

There has been much talk of late about the "Enemies List" that the Obama administration is working off of. As a public service to our readers, we are publishing the items one must be aware of in order to be taken off the Obama Hate list.You might be on Obama's Enemies List if: If you have a degree from a college in something other than Law, Civics, Theater Arts, Education or Political Science If you have ever attended a tea party or ever complained about paying your taxes If you make enough money to have to pay taxes If you...

I have to give the White House Press Pool credit. Even though most of them need tissues to clean their nose's after a meeting with the administration, they have come together to defy Barry's latest attempt at divide and conquer. In an uncharacteristically cooperative move, the press pool let Barry know that he has gone too far in proclaiming Fox News was not invited to the news conference. Barry's Communications Director, Anita Dunn has proclaimed, that Fox News is their enemy, and is attacking them, and has every right to isolate Fox in order that the White House and the...

Congressman John Murtha reminds me of Big Julie in play Guys and Dolls, who boasts: “I got a poifect record: thoity-three arrests, no convictions.” Months ago, the FBI raided the offices of the PMA group. What they found suggested that Murtha and his buddies at the PMA Group operated their own little Earmark Factory. But that was just the tip of the iceberg, another one of John Murtha's most favorite contractors was charged for taking $200,000 in kickbacks, the FBI is Investigating Multi-Billion-Dollar Murtha favored Defense Contractor With Tax-Exempt Status, Murtha has even gotten family into the earmark business, and...

Arguments go back and forth about whether or not the Obama administration is really "socialist" in the sense that they wish to control the means of production, takeover all businesses, and put the "people" (unions) in charge. Wherever you come down on this issue, there is no denying the straight line from Obama's Chicago roots and ways of getting things done to the White House. I wrote about it a while back when Chrysler dealers were being closed down, in a post I called "Not Socialism: Gangsterism:" "It can happen because we are barking up the wrong tree when we...

Stocks now pay way less than bonds once again, but neither pay much... BLINK and you missed it. US equities offered a greater yield on investment than did US Treasury bonds for less than five months... And from the day this oddity struck, 18 Nov. 2008, the S&P still had another one-fifth to fall. "When this inversion occurred, my two older partners assured me it was an anomaly," wrote the late Peter Bernstein in Nov. 2008. The inversion Bernstein referred to had occurred five decades earlier...back when the dividend yield offered by US equities slipped below the yield offered by...

Yes, No or Who Cares? This is the last chance to take this totally unscientific poll. We're going to ship the results off to both Rush Limbaugh and the commissioner of the NFL. BE HEARD! LAST CHANCE!

In the stratosphere of international intrigue, up is down and white is black. Nothing is as it seems. Cover stories and backgrounds are fabricated and looped together. Orly Taitz has a bucket full of fake Social Security IDs tied to Obama, Now this with the Dunhams. Recall in my articles about the Obama Communist connections, the connections of Ann Dunham and Peter Geitner, and the still to come Ayers family connection. The fact Madelyn Dunham chose "banking" as her life's profession, including making it to the top job, for the Bank of Hawaii.(Perhaps aided in her effort by the Ayers...

In the world wide web and in the publishing world, there are conspiracy theories going about concerning topics from the Kennedy assassination, aliens, 9/11 being an inside job, Chariot of the gods, a book claiming that extraterrestrials influenced the ancient world, and corporate control over government. While some present some truth, some are fantastic and even fictitious. One such theory involves ancient history and a belief that we have not been alone in the universe for sometime. British Author and Green activist David Icke has compiled a series of books claiming that since the dawn of time, Earth has been...

Allegations of continuing corruption continue to mount against the embattled Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN). In the wake of tremendous negative publicity, much of which was featured here at Big Government, and adverse House and Senate votes ACORN has begun laying off dozens of low-level workers and staff across the country. However, under conditions of strict anonymity, ACORN organizers and staff have complained to the ACORN 8 (www.acorn8.com) that senior management has ordered them to continue to work for ACORN as “volunteers” but for them to apply for unemployment insurance. In order to legally collect unemployment insurance...

Obama's Justice Department is now ordering the banning of "non-partisan" local elections in one small, predominantly black, town because without the "D" next to the candidates name, blacks will be discriminated against and too confused to know from whom to vote. Seriously, this for real.

The Wall Street Journal recently published an article discussing a theoretical collapse of the United States in 2010. Igor Panarin presented his theory in 1998, and cites mass immigration, economic collapse, and moral decline as key triggers to a second American civil war that will fragment the US into four pieces, with Alaska going back to Russia and Hawaii ending up in Japanese or Chinese hands. Here’s what Panarin’s theoretical United States region would look like, post second American civil war: (MAP AT LINK) Now, there are a few things I agreed with right off the bat, like California being...

Below are some suggestions for lawmakers and judges to bring about a more just country: Intolerance-Justice should be based on each case and circumstance involving current law and precedent. The idiotic case of six-year-old Zachary Christie is akin to the type of lack of foresight that has parents throughout the land scratching their heads.

As a proud new Cub Scout, he brought a multifaceted eating and tool utensil to his school to show his little friends. Conclusion? When...

Well, this afternoon I read the criminal search warrant and affidavit and the criminal complaint filed on Tarek Mehanna today (So you wouldn't have to, my possums.) I kept Mr. Mehanna's attorney's admonishment to remember that his client was innocent until proven guilty. I also know that the government is required to prove its allegations in open court. Several things popped out at me.

Like most of the bullying kind, if you disagree with him he will go after you with personal attacks full guns blaring. Just look at some examples of the people who have crossed the President and got smack down by the Bully-in-Chief or his...

Yesterday Morning's headlines blared "Man Arrested Attempting to Spy For Israel." The small print continued to explain that Israel was no way involved in the sting. The FBI has long believed the accused spy Stewart David Nozette,was up to no good so it created this sting to nab him. Because the FBI has a strong belief that American Jews have a dual loyalty between Israel and the US, the chose to build the sting around Israel. Truth is, Nozette did not grab the bait because of any love toward the Jewish State, but because of the offer of cold hard...
