    A top-rated talk radio host in Denver, Colo., has received some good news about his hopes to erect "Where's the Birth Certificate?" billboards in front of hundreds of thousands of drivers a day when a local businessman heard his radio show and agreed to donate the sign space. Now, WND has learned, that businessman is planning on donating signage in multiple states to get the message out that Barack Obama has yet to prove his constitutional eligibility to serve as president. As WND reported, Peter Boyles, who hosts the top-rated morning program on Denver's KHOW-AM, has been fascinated with the...

    Not only do they profit billions from Obama’s policies, they shut out dissenting voices on their “news” networks!Obama and the Democrats love to slam Fox News for presenting opposing points of view. So, it’s no surprise that Obama prefers to give interviews to NBC which he feels is more sympathetic to his cause. NBC has been in the tank for Obama from the beginning.Further proof of NBC’s favoritism came this week when the network rejected the following ad from the League of American Voters:

    The refusal by ABC and NBC to run a national ad critical of President Obama's health care reform plan is raising questions from the group behind the spot -- particularly in light of ABC's health care special aired in prime time last June and hosted at the White House. The 33-second ad by the League of American Voters, which features a neurosurgeon who warns that a government-run health care system will lead to the rationing of procedures and medicine, began airing two weeks ago on local affiliates of ABC, NBC, FOX and CBS. On a national level, however, ABC and...

    Maybe Mickey Mouse is in the tank for Obama as much as General Electric, Both Disney-owned ABC and GE-owned NBC are refusing to run anti-Obamacare ads from the League of American Voters, which features a neurosurgeon who warns that a government-run health care system will lead to the rationing of procedures and medicine, especially for seniors. The networks supposedly rejected the ad becuase there was not enough proof of the claims in the ad. Of course NBC ran a Today Show special in the White House talking about Health Care, and ABC ran a prime time Obamacare special. Here's some...

O'Reilly said NBC's entire operation is "near collapse," and if Jay Leno does not do well this fall, the network will collapse. He pointed out that the ratings have gotten so bad at MSNBC that Fox News' Bill Hemmer and Megyn Kelly in the 9 AM morning slot outdid MSNBC's primetime 8 PM slot by 38%! He also took an unnamed shot at MSNBC's Keith Olbermann at the end by pointing out that a person at that network said everyone who watches Fox News is "paranoid" and...

Never will you see a starker example of MSNBC getting away with the sort of deception for which Fox News would be pilloried, especially in the context of race. If you missed Monday’s post about this, go watch the footage (or look at this photo) and see if you can deduce why they wouldn’t want to show the guy with the rifle from the neck up during this particular segment. For all the well-deserved heat that MSNBC’s primetime line-up has taken for its demagoguery...

    Push Poll: technique in which an individual or organization attempts to influence or alter the view of respondents under the guise of conducting a poll. By that definition, it sure seems that NBC is push polling on behalf of ObamaCare. On this morning's Today, NBC News Political Director and Chief White House Correspondent Chuck Todd reported on a new NBC poll that reflected the fact that, according to him, many Americans continue to believe "the myths" about ObamaCare. But Todd reported that the NBC pollsters also gave people "the facts" about ObamaCare. And after hearing those "facts," a majority supported...

O'Reilly also talked with Pollster Scott Rasmussen about the dramatic drop of President Obama in the polls. Rasmussen feels the drop is not only because of Health Care, but also because of an accumulation of pent up frustration from everything Obama has done since taking office - Stimulus, General Motors takeover, Cash for Clunkers, Cap and Trade, etc. O'Reilly also talked with a Political...

Michelle Malkin explores it today with some bonus material. The free press in the United States once stood for something. The Constitution ensured its freedom so it could act as a vigilant watchdog for the citizens of this country. The classic modern example is Watergate, of course. An unhinged, dishonest president thoroughly abused his position and would have gotten away with it had it not been for the efforts of two newspaper reporters. That's the...

    Ignoring the people who think President Obama isn’t a natural-born American didn’t make them go away, but Democrats haven’t been especially eager to engage in debate on something they generally consider to be illogical — if not looney. But clearly, the “birthers” got under the skin of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid . The Nevada Democrat complained Monday that the birthers have been getting too much attention. But he said it on the Senate floor — as high a profile venue as he has. “An artificial controversy is getting far too much attention lately, one that ignores the undeniable and...

On Obamas it says Date FILED By Registrar (Notice not the state registrar, this would be the local one ). Two different things. Either that field header is forged in Obamas ( they are from the same form - OHSM 1.1 Revised (11/01) ) or it means his registration was FILED at that date BUT was not ACCEPTED. If you look at the long form copy of...

    You heard it right, on Monday, the Hawaii House of Representives voted to declare Obama a "Natural Born Citizen". Instead of producing the birth certificate, their vote is supposed to somehow make this official. It was also reported that Dr. Fukino based her statement on the House vote as to Obama being "natural born and born in Hawaii". The House vote came out with a notice that "Obama was born in Hawaii, and is an American natural-born citizen". Long-form vault copy or a House vote to provide proof of natural-born citizenship? Give me a break. Absolutely rediculous.

What criteria does the Director use to determine that status?” You cannot refer to Obama, at all, when you ask the question. That would violate statute...

    BOSTON, Mass, July 1, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - General Electric has announced that it will use embryonic stem cells provided by Geron Corporation for the purpose of testing toxic effects of drug treatments.GE issued a statement, attempting to preempt criticism over the decision, saying, "We acknowledge the considerable debate and take very seriously the ethical and societal issues associated with research using stem cells derived from embryonic or fetal tissue.""We conduct our research in an ethically and scientifically responsible manner," the statement said.However, embryonic stem cells have been the center of heated controversy since harvesting the cells requires the destruction...

    It pays to be in the tank for the president. All of the "tinkle down my leg" news coverage is paying off big for NBC News' parent company. By taking advantage of its ownership of two tiny banks in Utah, GE has been able to issue $80 Billion dollars worth of federally backed loans about one out of every four dollars available in the program. And true to being a friend of the President, General Electric didn't have to go through any of the burdens other participants had to go through like the financial stress test. Nor did they have...

    What were the people at NBC News thinking? Long-time NBC anchor Tom Brokaw was being considered for a White House appointment when he interviewed President Obama on Jan. 5 and covered him on the news. The position in question was to become a commissioner on the White House Fellows Commission. Neither NBC nor Mr. Brokaw ever made any disclosure that Mr. Brokaw had been offered or was considering the position. It was not until June 17 that NBC made public that Mr. Brokaw was joining the commission. According to the White House Web site, the White House Fellows program is...

    We all know that MSNBC has sunk to below sewer level in its disgusting, slobbering love affair with Barack Obama and its virulent and vile-mouthed hatred of Republicans and Conservatives. Less well-known is the overt racism displayed by its news affliliates in, where else, Chicago, when NBC-Chicago ran the following article by political writer, Steve Rhodes: No Senator SchakowskyLeaves field to rich white boysJune 8, 2009 North Side congresswoman Jan Schakowsky's decision - to be announced today - that she will not seek the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Roland Burris is (seemingly) at its heart about money and...

    (In the interest of full disclosure, I acknowledge upfront that a constitutional law professor and unabashed freedom lover wrote the following column.) NBC pawns off a White House tour as news. Former journalists, including Linda Douglas, Jay Carney, and Tom Brokaw, are officially on the White House payroll. ABC provides a valuable prime-time slot so the Obama administration can air a healthcare infomercial. What’s going on here? An Obama takeover of the media, that’s what. Just another industry notch in the president’s belt?

    With a cooler-than-usual winter and a mild temperatures leading up to the beginning of summer, global warming alarmists are finding they are losing steam in the debate. But "NBC Nightly News" won't give up the fight. On the June 16 broadcast, anchor Brian Williams noted the peculiar weather patterns along the East Coast. "The weather along the eastern seaboard has been more like Scotland in October lately," Williams said. "Then came the first of the Internet stories, some of them written by learned people in the weather field, wondering if summer as we know it was just not going to...

    JOHNNY CARSON is rolling over in his grave. Even the late Lenny Bruce is having a fit. While you were watching David Letterman -- a bitter guy who never saw a woman or a Republican he could stand -- trash Sarah Palin's 14-year-old daughter by "joking" that she was date-raped by Alex Rodriguez and stalked by Eliot Spitzer, you may have missed the memo. Dave's in good company. His struggling brother up the dial, Conan O'Brien, on Thursday night was having a blast slurring women and Jews -- two groups that may constitute the last permissible sick-comedy staples. Here's Conan:...

    Where will Gov. Sarah Palin make her first televised response to David Letterman? NBC's Today show. Matt Lauer interviews Palin live tomorrow morning on Today. Palin will be live from Texas, where she made an announcement today regarding the Alaska pipeline project. The NBC release says Palin will talk about the pipeline, "her thoughts on the direction of the GOP, and she will address the recent controversy involving David Letterman and her family." Lauer last interviewed Palin in November (pictured).

    VH1 comedian Chuck Nice appeared on Tuesday's "Today" show and compared Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to the sexually transmitted disease herpes. He mocked, "But, Sarah Palin to the GOP, this is what I've got to say, she is very much like herpes, she's not going away." The "Best Week Ever" host amazingly preceded his comments by instructing the show's hosts and his fellow guests, who were there to discuss news events in the 10am hour of the show, "...Please don't take it the way it sounds." Amazingly, no one on the program really challenged Nice on his ugly remark. NBC...

    Which is worse? Network execs too scared to change a successful formula. Or network execs too willing to turn everything on its head. It's clear that Conan's version of NBC's cash cow The Tonight Show is just more of the same old/same old. And that's how O'Brien's longtime exec producer Jeff Ross and boss Jeff Zucker want it. But while they were golfing together this weekend in a foursome at Riviera Country Club (Ross, who just moved out here, is the better player, while Zucker has a 14 handicap and can barely keep up), they both worried how to prevent...
