Reliably sympathetic to non-Western lies, the BBC reported yesterday that a prisoner in Pakistani custody knows a guy who saw Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan last January. Headlines! Now, Osama may, indeed, pop over the border into Afghanistan now and then -- but this report is a shameless Pakistani Inter Services Intelligence agency concoction. Why? Because the Pakistanis have taken a lot of heat recently over suspicions -- including those raised in The Post -- that they know where Osama is but shield him for their own benefit. Even party-line US government officials have grown skeptical about the Pakistani government's...

WASHINGTON - On the Senate floor, Democrats are debating Republicans on health care. Behind the scenes, they're debating each other. Those closed-door discussions may be less predictable -- and more consequential -- as majority Democrats struggle to settle controversies within the party that are standing in the way of passage of President Barack Obama's sweeping health care overhaul. The most contentious of these is a proposal for the government to sell insurance in competition with private companies, an approach supported by liberals but opposed by most Democratic moderates and conservatives. Democrats were engaged in urgent talks to settle the government...

Too few showing up at H1N1 clinics Thursday, December 3, 2009 11:21 PM By Misti Crane THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH Rows of chairs sat empty at Veterans Memorial. Dana Warner, the guy in charge of handing out tickets and answering initial questions, had a thick book on his chair, just in case. Nurses stationed at tables with plenty of vaccine waved to signal open seats. H1N1 vaccine clinics aren't what they used to be. Story continues below Advertisement Tuesday night's Columbus Public Health clinic was absent the weary-eyed parents who'd spent hours entertaining toddlers. There were no frantic public-health workers trying...

A Los Angeles press conference with Tiger Woods’ alleged mistress Rachel Uchitel has been called off. Uchitel, 34, was scheduled to appear with her attorney, Gloria Allred, at 11:30 a.m. Pacific Standard Time. The cancellation comes as TMZ.com is reporting Uchitel was lying when she said she did not have an affair with Tiger Woods. Citing unnamed sources the celebrity news site writes that text messages between Woods and Uchitel sparked the fight at the billionaire golfer’s home before his bizarre early-morning car crash. Uchitel, a New York City nightclub hostess, has publicly denied an affair with Woods. However, TMZ.com...

The Prime Minister of Pakistan today slapped down a suggestion from Gordon Brown that his country should do more to hunt down Osama bin Laden, insisting on a visit to Downing Street that the al-Qaeda head was not even on Pakistani territory. Mr Brown ruffled feathers in Islamabad when he used a weekend interview to complain that both bin Laden or his deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri were still at large eight years after the attacks of 9/11 and urged Pakistani security forces to get their act together. Western intelligence officials believe both men are holed up in the tribal areas of...

Australia is seeing the light. Parliament wiped off the lenses to see through the Gore lie. No agree, the Parliament concluded. The government pro-warmist religionists are in a tizzy. Too bad for the warmist devotees. Their deity and arch-disciples are shown to be the fraud the wise men have known them to be all along.

Tiger Woods' alleged mistress claims she was lying when she said she did not have an affair with Tiger Woods ... and sources tell TMZ the fight at Tiger's home the morning of the crash was triggered by a series of text messages between Tiger and the woman. Rachel Uchitel has publicly denied she had sexual relations with Tiger Woods, but we've learned she has said she did indeed have an affair with the golfer. And, we're told it was her -- not Jaimee Grubbs -- who caused an argument between Tiger and his wife, Elin Nordegren, that immediately preceded...

Note the date of this article. Now ask yourself: How many times since then have we caught Marxist Muslim lying to America in particular?

The Congressional Budget Office late Monday said it estimates that the federal stimulus package sustained between 600,000 and 1.6 million jobs in the third quarter, and raised gross domestic product by 1.2 to 3.2 percentage points higher than it would have been without the program.

We came THIS CLOSE to having one of the most massive tax schemes enacted intlo law and we are just now finding out that Climate Data proponents are FRAUDS? What would have happend if these massive tax increases had already been put into place? The bigger question is this: Did the government know? If not - then they are guilty of incompetance on an unprecidented scale- Don't they check facts before they spend billions of our tax dollars? If they did- then they are guilty of complicity in a scheme that is nothing less than treason

How’s that for a headline? You’d think we’d know something about geopolitics, tossing around the twenty dollar word like that. But we don’t -- not too much, anyway. We do, however, know more than we’d like to about half-heartedness, as most probably do. And one doesn’t need any specialized education to know what sort of trouble half-heartedness gets everyone into. A little experience in the business of everyday life is sufficient to impart the lessons. We all know what half-heartedness is – we’ve seen it in ourselves and in those we’d relied upon for something at one time or another....

The "open, kind and understanding and inclusive" left just don't understand the other side asking questions about WarmingGate.

Every time the Obama is challenged on something he said, he says "As I said before…" or "What I said was…," or "As I’ve said repeatedly…," or "As I’ve consistently said…," and then he says something completely different and contradictory to his previous statements. If he is so adept at remembering what he said before, then why can’t he remember a speech without use of a teleprompter? Most of those speeches are just the same old rhetoric that he has said many times before with the same old lies in every other sentence. "What I said was..." is simply another...

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) has been mailing out fundraising letters on behalf of Bill Clinton accusing the GOP of lying and "playing politics with our lives." Oh my goodness! A politician lying? or a whole political group? Is that even possible? Maybe it is. It's kind of sad and pathetic, but isn't that what we kind of know and suspect from all politicians? And even though it's a sin, isn't that the pot calling the kettle black? Bill Clinton accusing someone else of being a liar? It would almost be laughable if it weren't so hypocritical. For those...

There have been dozens of news reports exposing tens of thousands of stimulus jobs as frauds — David Freddoso and Mark Hemingway of the Washington Examiner put the number of phony jobs at about 75,000. They found more than 100 separate incidents, but these incidents can be grouped into seven categories, representing the seven biggest lies the administration is telling you about the stimulus: 1. Raises = jobs: This one turns out to be pretty common. For example, the Associated Press reported that one nonprofit in Georgia used stimulus money to give its employees raises, then multiplied its total number...

Appearing this morning on the Washington Times‘ program, “America’s Morning,” Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) threatened to call for an investigation of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the United Nations on the way they “cooked the science to make this thing look as if the science was settled when, all the time, we knew it was not.”

"This is not a smoking gun, this is a mushroom cloud" - That's how world-renowned climatologist Patrick J. Michaels described revelations contained in a 61Mb ZIP file that shows the systematic attempts by climate "scientists" to lie, manipulate evidence, and go to extraordinary lengths to stop the publication of any information or data which did not support the man-made global warming theory. As Andrew Bolt puts it, this scandal could well be “the greatest in modern science”. In this leaked files are 1079 emails and 72 documents that thoroughly expose the lie underpinning Al Gore's "Inconvenient Truth". Remember this, as...

Notice Filed Hollister v Soetoro I. JURISDICTIONAL STATEMENT A. The Basis for the District Court’s Subject Matter Jurisdiction The District Court had jurisdiction pursuant to the Federal Interpleader Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1335. Alternatively Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 22 and diversity under 28 U.S.C. § 1332 existed. In addition, in a proposed amended complaint the plaintiff Hollister asserted jurisdiction also for a direct violation of the constitutional requirement in Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 concerning the eligibility of an individual to be President of the United States if he is not, as is there stated, a “natural born...

In a letter in the Nov 18 Pasadena Star News (see below) Brandon Lee Fureigh of Glendale pretends to be a proponent of small government who believes it is “un-Christian” to let people die due to denial of health insurance to all those who make mistakes in filling in medical insurance applications, who cannot afford health insurance, who put politics-for-sale above caring, and worst of all, “because of the lies that go unchallenged in the media.” Well, we are going to do what Mr. Fureigh advocates and challenge some of his own lies about himself and health care reform right...

Barack Obama left his 2.6 million fans on Twitter, the social networking website, bemused, disappointed and mildly irritated by admitting on Monday that he had never used the service himself. "Let me say that I have never used Twitter," he told students in Shanghai. "I noticed that young people are very busy with these electronics. My thumbs are too clumsy to type in things on the phone." During his election campaign, Mr Obama portrayed himself as "connected" to the people through Twitter and his ever-present blackberry phone. Some of his more understanding fans asked if it was any real surprise...

At the Museum of Science and Technology Monday afternoon, President Obama took questions from a docile audience of more than 400 Chinese university students handpicked by officials of eight different Chinese universities. The town hall meeting was one of the few unscripted moments on the president's trip. It was supposed to be carried live on Chinese state television but at the last moment, the Chinese government changed its mind and only local stations in Shanghai, and the White House Web site, carried it live. **SNIP** **SNIP** FULL LIES MIXED WITH AUDACITY-Quote of the day! "The White House said it wanted...

ATLANTA - An analysis suggests recipients of federal stimulus dollars have overstated the number of jobs created or saved in Georgia. ..snip In one such case, the Central Savannah River Area Economic Opportunity Authority in Augusta reported saving 317 jobs. But fiscal officer Chris Whitley says that represents the number of Head Start workers who received 2.3 percent raises from the stimulus funds.

This is called 7 lies in under two minutes http://www.theospark.net/2009/09/video-7-lies-in-under-2-minutes.html

I’ve been playing “Bailout Wars,” a new iPhone game from French publisher Gameloft that is themed around the Troubled Asset Relief Program. The game features cash-hungry bankers attempting to raid the White House for bailout cash and it’s up to the player to stop them. That involves tapping the bankers, allowing you to fling them around, hold them and shake them, and even double tapping to blow them up. Given the pace of the onslaught, however, that is not enough. Players earn gold for each banker they successfully kill, which eventually can be used to purchase and upgrade a sniper,...

"How do you know a politician is lying?" "His lips are moving." Geither said: "I believe deeply that it's very important for the U.S. and the economic health of the U.S. that we maintain a strong dollar," he said at a roundtable discussion with Japanese reporters. "We bear special responsibility for trying to make sure that we are implementing policy in the U.S. that will sustain confidence not just among American investors and .. savers but investors around the world" that the U.S. will fix its budgetary problems as its economy improves. Baloney. Geithner, Bernanke, and Obama all have intentionally...

ABC has run promos for All My Children (AMC) that are obviously false. Broadcasters receive licenses based on serving the public interest. A network that lies to attract viewers is not acting in the public interest. The FCC should consider revoking ABC's license allowing it to own individual television stations. I initially thought I wouldn't post this on blogs other than the one at Soap Central because it involves a show with fewer viewers than live in the 33rd most populous state, Arkansas. However, I realized that a network that will lie in promos for one show will likely lie...

Democrats will pay at the polls for their vote in favor of a sweeping health care reform package Saturday night, a top House Republican warned, while Democrats cheered the bill's narrow approval as a historic achievement. Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind., chairman of the House Republican Conference, told "Fox News Sunday" that the vote proved Democrats have not listened to American concerns about over-spending, bailouts and government takeovers. "The message from last night is that the Democrats didn't get the message in August or last Tuesday," Pence said, referring to the town hall meetings over the summer where members of the...

Hasan, the sole suspect in the massacre of 13 fellow US soldiers in Texas, attended the controversial Dar al-Hijrah mosque in Great Falls, Virginia, in 2001 at the same time as two of the September 11 terrorists, The Sunday Telegraph has learnt. His mother's funeral was held there in May that year. The preacher at the time was Anwar al-Awlaki, an American-born Yemeni scholar who was banned from addressing a meeting in London by video link in August because he is accused of supporting attacks on British troops and backing terrorist organisations.

After South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson shouted, "You lie!" as President Obama pitched health care to a joint session of Congress, even Republicans ran from their rude colleague. Two months later, however, most Americans are reaching a similar conclusion about Obama, and not just on health care. They now believe Obama was not honest about how he would govern. His campaign promises, they say, bear little resemblance to the president he is. They believed him when he said he was a moderate who would lead from the center. But a clear majority, 54 percent, now says the president is "mostly...

There are lies, there are damned lies, and there are the statistics that Democrats have ginned up to try to sell ObamaCare. The most recent example comes from statistics, bandied about by their media mouthpieces this week, purporting that infant mortality rates in the U.S. are proof that the healthcare system is sick and needs Drs. Obama, Pelosi and Reid to cure it. Big Media reportedly breathlessly this week that the U.S. ranks 30th in infant mortality rates. They preached that that standing reflects the quality of the country's healthcare system, that we fall short of other countries and need...

Isn't it funny how quickly politicians abandon their original positions after being on the wrong side of an issue is used against them? Charlie Crist is the latest culprit of the phenomenon, revisionist history. During an appearance yesterday on CNN, Crist had this to say about the president's stimulus package: "I didn't endorse it. I didn't even have a vote on the darn thing. But I understood that it was gonna pass and I wanted to be able to utilize it for the benefit of my fellow Floridians." Are you sure you didn't support the stimulus Governor Crist? Because if...

Word's Still Mean Something http://www.wiseandfrugalgovernment.blogspot.com/ "Whatever words we utter should be chosen with care for people will hear them and be influenced by them for good or ill. " --Buddha Since White House Communications Director, Anita Dunn revealed her fascination with Mao Tse Tung and his "can do" attitude that wiped some 40-60 million people off the map, I have been searching for common ground with these people. It is clear they do not value the "so-called Founders" (as President O calls them) and it is obvious to even the simplest and most trusting mind that Nancy Pelosi doesn't give...

This is the way this article appears on the website Red Ferret Journal: The Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (or secret copyright treaty as it’s being called) is as perniciously nasty a piece of proposed legislation as you’re likely to find anywhere on the planet. Ostensibly being created to defend the rights of copyright owners, this is yet another instance of stupid government serving the narrow agendas of greed of the massive entertainment corporations. This is not good law. Unless we all want the dead soul less hand of government stamping out our freedom to communicate, every single Internet user on the...

At a school in Madison, Wisconsin, President Obama tells of how his daughter Malia went from a 73 on a science test to a 95. She originally thought an 80 was considered "pretty well, but after regrouping and some perseverance, she earned the higher mark, prompting her to say, according to Obama, "I just like having knowldge." (Or maybe thank goodness for affirmative action!)

Lies, Tax Fraud and DeceitMy theory is that Alan Grayson is a liar, a fraud, and a tax-cheat. Who is this guy? How did he really obtain his wealth? It’s certainly worth further investigation in light of the following.Summary: Roll Call lists Alan Grayson’s largest asset is a claim against Derivium Capital, the now bankrupt Ponzi scheme, in the amount of $34 million. Central Florida Politics lists Alan Grayson as the Derivium Capital scams most frequent customer. Roll Call lists Grayson’s net worth at $31.12 million. Grayson’s only other asset is said to be a trust fund worth $5...

The Daily Capitalist The Obama Administration knows it didn't "create or save" 640,000 jobs but they use the Big Lie to justify the huge waste of taxpayer dollars through the $787 billion American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009. But on Friday the government says that it did: ... The new data come from information tens of thousands of state and local governments, private companies, colleges and community groups submitted earlier this month to show how they are making use of stimulus funds. The White House said states with the highest unemployment rates reported 25% more jobs created or saved...

Source: Trade and TaxesRaymond L. Richman The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis issued a misleading report when it announced October 29, 2009, that annualized Gross Domestic Product, measured in 2005 prices, increased 3.5 percent from the 2nd quarter 2009 to the 3rd Quarter of 2009. The fact is that annualized GDP in the 3rd quarter was $13,014 billion compared with $12,901 in the 2nd quarter , an increase of 0.872, less than one percent. The number, 3½ , asserted by the BEA was obtained by multiplying 0.872 by 4, in other words by extrapolating the rate of increase in the...

President Barack Obama took office with an extraordinary set of promises as a candidate. He has fulfilled many of the promises to the left-wing base of his party, such as his executive order three days after he was inaugurated restoring the funding of abortions with foreign-aid money.  But how has he done with the popular campaign promises he made to middle America, the promises that got him elected? Candidate Obama pledged to cut taxes for the middle class, lower overall taxes, cut government spending, reduce the deficit, cut the cost of healthcare waste, eliminate most government secrecy, and reform ethics...

Is the mainstream media's love affair with the Obama administration on shaky ground?

(IsraelNN.com) Former minister Rafi Eitan, who recruited Jonathan Pollard as a spy for Israel in the US, expressed regret over the espionage debacle in an interview on Channel 2. "I admit the failure and I regret it,” he said. In an interview to Maariv in 2008, Eitan said that the US intelligence services made a joint decision not to permit Pollard ever to be released until the end of his life. “The reason isn't Pollard. It's Israel... It's connected to the relationship system between the American intelligence services and the state of Israel.” Eitan went on to confirm that the...

Does anyone recall seeing a thread here a few days after Hurrican Katrina, that linked to a website created by someone who lived in N.O., was a photojournalism student and was here on a student visa? His photos and detailed captions were awesome! They were the quality one would see in Time Life books or NatGeo. The most important part of it all, however, was that he told of out right lies the media were showing to the American public. He was disgusted because he was watching members of the news media who he had idolized up until that point,...

U.S. companies are expected to hire and invest more in the next six months, a survey report from the National Association for Business Economics showed Monday. The group's latest Industry Survey reinforces the view that a recovery is well underway in the world's largest economy...

While Democrats in Congress have spent months demonizing insurers as greedy villainous monsters, from Barack Obama to Nancy Pelosi to Alan Grayson, the American media stood mute rather than report on the extent of this supposed greed. Why? It’s not as if these companies don’t have annual reports, or that business media haven’t tracked their performance. The publicly-traded companies have their bottom lines exposed for all to see, and yet the media has steadfastly whistled and looked askance rather than inform people about the extent of their demonic, villainous, greedy, filthy lucre. The AP finally got around to it today...

Last Friday, I posted "Update to Public School Library Propagates Falsehood that Governor Palin Banned Books." I went step by step and day by day through my battle to correct the record and emphatically declare that Sarah Palin never, ever banned any books. At that point, I was turning it over to the public who had voiced a desire to step in and hold the school accountable. No longer was I going to stand between anyone and their efforts to see this wrong corrected, which I had done while I attempted to right this wrong. I am not sure who,...

The government's economic stimulus spending has already had its biggest impact and probably won't contribute to significant growth next year, a top White House adviser said Thursday. Christina Romer, the chair of President Barack Obama's Council of Economic Advisers, said the initial jolt of the $787 billion stimulus expanded the economy in the second and third quarters of this year. But she said the remaining spending will simply keep the economy from slipping. "By mid-2010," she said, "fiscal stimulus will likely be contributing little to further growth." That assessment underscored the fragility of an economic recovery marked by stubbornly high...

Even as he campaigned on a platform of change and transparency, an examination of Barack Obama's comments during the election-and his actions since taking office-indicates that on both politics and policy, the President has changed his tune on numerous issues of relevance to the proposed government takeover of health care, which may lead many to wonder where exactly he stands:

You are being lied to. Daily. Constantly. You, the American citizen, are subject to a constant bombardment of lies from the White House, B. Hussein Obama, his minions, and the state run media. Why? Because, they hope to bring you down. They hope to crush your enthusiasm. They desire to take away the fire in your belly that keeps you questioning what that monster, B. Hussein Obama is doing. Obama and his minions have turned on Fox News because they are a large network and they have journalistic integrity. While the rest of the cable, satellite and network news shows...
