In the early stages of his presidency, many decisions by President Obama have been viewed as being rash, uninformed, and more than slightly arrogant. But for me, his latest transgression upon the nation singularly stands out. The president's midnight run to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware to "honor" 18 Americans killed in Afghanistan was a sensationalistic but desperate political stunt, and he should be called out on it.

It is in this spirit that I am writing to let you know I am supporting Bill Owens for Congress and urge you to do the same. It’s not in the cards for me to be your representative, but I strongly believe Bill is the only candidate who can build upon John McHugh's lasting legacy in the U.S. Congress. John and I worked together on the expansion of Fort Drum and I know how important that base is to the economy of this region. I am confident that Bill will be able to provide the leadership and continuity of support...

Rahm Emanuel once sent a dead fish to a live pollster. Now he's put a horse's head in Roger Ailes's bed. Not very subtle. And not very smart. Ailes doesn't scare easily. The White House has declared war on Fox News. White House communications director Anita Dunn said that Fox is "opinion journalism masquerading as news." Patting rival networks on the head for their authenticity (read: docility), senior adviser David Axelrod declared Fox "not really a news station." And Chief of Staff Emanuel told (warned?) the other networks not to "be led [by] and following Fox."

Based on this detailed, comprehensive Mayo Clinic definition, one that I believe perfectly describes Obama, it's obvious he needs prescription medicine and extended psychotherapy. Our country is in tremendous danger with a person suffering from this complex mental illness in our White House.

This week it's ABC News' Jake Tapper asking why the Obama team was treating one of the "sister organizations" so badly -- and the news that the White House had tried to block a Fox News reporter from interviewing the so-called pay czar. (After all the networks objected, the White House relented.) It seems like time for a survey http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2009/10/in_white_house_vs_fox_news_war.html

KABUL, Afghanistan — Ahmed Wali Karzai, the brother of the Afghan president and a suspected player in the country’s booming illegal opium trade, gets regular payments from the Central Intelligence Agency, and has for much of the past eight years, according to current and former American officials. The agency pays Mr. Karzai for a variety of services, including helping to recruit an Afghan paramilitary force that operates at the C.I.A.’s direction in and around the southern city of Kandahar, Mr. Karzai’s home. The financial ties and close working relationship between the intelligence agency and Mr. Karzai raise significant questions about...

Saturday, October 24, 2009 was a day the world’s attention was focused on the number 350.

I just read a phenomenal article. There are some quotes in it from some letters sent to the Chairman of the FCC: “These network neutrality rules are needed for people of color and low income individuals to be creators of Internet content that is relevant to their communities, not just consumers of content that is profitable for big cable and phone companies.” “the signers of this letter would like nothing more than for our communities to earn the title of “bandwidth hogs.” …using the Internet to create and distribute content that allows us to control our

Obama Administration advisor David Axelrod said his analysis of Fox News broadcasts confirms that “it is not really a news station and should not be treated as such. The President has requested that the Federal Communications Commission “review Fox’s broadcasts and determine whether its license should be revoked.” Two key charges against Fox are pending. One is that “its on-air personnel are insufficiently diversified.” “We feel fairly certain that the racial and ethnic composition of the on-air staff does not reflect a proportionate balance with the composition of the nation’s population,” Axelrod said. “This is a violation of the Equal...

Local TV teeters as staff, anchors are axed As a top anchor in Los Angeles, John Beard worked during the heyday of local TV news -- covering earthquakes, riots and the occasional celebrity on the loose. Beard was a familiar presence on L.A. TV screens for 30 years, via lead anchor roles on KNBC and then KTTV. But three decades after arriving on the West Coast from Buffalo, Beard is back where he started, anchoring a morning newscast in that small western New York community. Beard had a great run in the nation's No. 2 market -- but his exit...

Some Freepers will probably disagree with me, but I'm a believer you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. I snt this email to each of the four networks in the hopes of encouraging their efforts to keep the WH in it's place, and wanted to pass along the suggestion, that any like-minded might like to do the same: Dear Sirs, I just wanted to give you kudos for your actions re: the Kenneth Feinberg press briefing. I am a Fox News watcher, and a conservative although I occasionally turn to other channels such as yours as well. Many...

It recently came to light that individuals employed by ACORN have been apparent accomplices with regard to the conduct of alleged criminal activities. Surprisingly, it was the investigative ingenuity of ordinary citizens who brought this information to the attention of the public. As a Member of Congress, these relevations are of interest to me in that ACORN is the beneficiary of substantial federal funding. As the former Attorney General of my state of California, this story is of great concern to me for an entirely different reason. Ironically, it is those who revealed the alleged illegal acts, rather than the...

Swine Flu Cases Overestimated? CBS News Exclusive: Study Of State Results Finds H1N1 Not As Prevalent As Feared (CBS) If you've been diagnosed "probable" or "presumed" 2009 H1N1 or "swine flu" in recent months, you may be surprised to know this: odds are you didn’t have H1N1 flu. In fact, you probably didn’t have flu at all. That's according to state-by-state test results obtained in a three-month-long CBS News investigation. The ramifications of this finding are important. According to the Center for Disease Control, CDC, and Britain's National Health Service, once you have H1N1 flu, you're immune from future outbreaks...

Will someone give the Obama White House a break? I mean besides ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, MSNBC, and the Communist News Network. ... On the Sunday talk show circuit, senior and senile Obamatrons implied or outright stated that Fox News was not a news network, lacked journalist credibility and that Rupert Murdoch was a child eating space alien. ... This, of course, backfired. Telling the media not to report a news story is like telling a teenager to not drink, smoke or have sex - it tends to promote what you proscribe. ... Back when newspapers were relevant, politicians routinely...

Sky News is now streaming its TV channel for free over its website 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Despite Rupert Murdoch's mumblings about charging for all online content, the site is free - for now at least. Murdoch said yesterday that it was time for aggregators and search engines must start paying for news content - a slight refinement on previous announcements which seemed to want to get some money out of the readers.

Three stories in the news this week pointed out the lunacy of what has become known as "zero tolerance". In the first case, a 6-year-old boy was suspended and threatened with reform school because he brought a camping utensil to school. Zachary Christie, a first-grader at Downes Elementary School in Newark, Del., was so proud of the spoon-fork-knife combination gift that he wanted to show it off and use it to eat his lunch. He was by all accounts a good student, who sometimes wore suits to school because he took his education seriously. He was also a Cub Scout....

White House senior adviser David Axelrod said Sunday that the Fox News Channel is "not really a news station" and that much of the programming is "not really news." "I’m not concerned," Axelrod said on ABC's "This Week" when George Stephanopoulos asked about the back-and-forth between the White House and Fox News.

Over the weekend, White House communications director Anita Dunn announced the official beginning of the Obama administration's war with Fox News. Of course, the battle has been openly brewing for months now. Even during the campaign, Obama's team gave up on sending surrogates to the network. "It was beyond diminishing returns," Dunn told the New York Times. "It was no returns." But now the war is out in the open. "We're going to treat them the way we would treat an opponent," she told the paper. "As they are undertaking a war against Barack Obama and the White House, we...

(AP) President Nicolas Sarkozy's 23-year-old son is angling for a key job overseeing billions of euros in commerce at France's top business district - a job critics say he does not deserve. Jean Sarkozy's conservative backers insisted Monday that he's qualified to chair EPAD, the quasi-governmental agency that manages the La Defense financial district on the western outskirts of Paris. The sprawling complex of skyscrapers houses the headquarters of some of Europe's biggest companies, such as oil giant Total and bank Societe Generale.

COTTAGE GROVE, Ore. -- Police say multiple young women have come forward saying they had sexual encounters with a teacher while they were underage, but the teacher says it's not true -- and school officials say police never contacted them about the allegations.

The Conservatives accused Gordon Brown of failing to provide adequate resources to UK operations in Afghanistan after the former head of the army said the prime minister had rejected his calls for more troops to be deployed earlier this year. The prime minister is set to decide, possibly within days, whether there should be a fresh increase in UK troop numbers in Afghanistan, amid suggestions that Britain could send an additional 500 soldiers to Helmand province.

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Time Warner Inc will eventually sell the Time Inc magazine unit and could buy holdings in its core entertainment category, Gordon Crawford, managing director of its largest shareholder, said during a presentation this week. "Time Warner just spun off their cable division, they are going to sell their print division, they are going to spin off AOL and they're just going to be Warner Brothers, HBO and the Turner Networks," said Crawford, managing director of The Capital Group.

It's not enough that our own president gave the speech that he did yesterday. It's not enough that he sounded like a Central American dictator, or that if another leader had come from another country and said what Obama said about America at the United Nations, our own delegation would likely have stood up and walked out (in better times, at least). Now, Andy McCarthy over at National Review is reporting that the president has requested the State Department to contribute $400,000 to a foundation operated by Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi's two children.

With scant public input, state and federal officials are pushing ahead with plans that -- during a severe flu outbreak -- would deny use of scarce ventilators by some patients to assure they would be available for patients judged to benefit the most from them. The plans have been drawn up to give doctors specific guidelines for extreme circumstances, and they include procedures under which patients who weren’t improving would be removed from life support with or without permission of their families. The plans are designed to go into effect if the U.S. were struck by a severe flu pandemic...

For a second, you might assume Barack Obama is rooting against America and her democratic allies. In fact, it seems that every day Barack Obama finds a new democratic ally to throw under the bus. Among other examples, the Obama Administration has: * Cut aid to the impoverished Honduras and refused to recognize the pro-democratic, entirely legal administration in power * Scrapped plans to build a protective missile shield in the Czech Republic and Poland (tactfully done on the 70th anniversary of the Soviet invasion of Poland, by the way) * Offended Israelis by speaking of moral equivalence between Palestine...

Saw this last night and just about fell over. Matthews, Robinson and Fineman ponder how it is possible that The One can’t seem to get through to the American people as he did during the campaign. They wonder … could his speeches be too “me” focused, is he over exposed, or maybe … gasp … lost his mojo? Or as Matthews puts it … his precious bodily fluids.

Independent News & Media is likely to close its flagship London title The Independent by Christmas, the publishing group's second biggest shareholder Denis O'Brien said on Friday. "There's no point in us as a company subsidising a newspaper that really nobody wants to read in the United Kingdom," O'Brien told Bloomberg TV in an interview on the sidelines of the Global Irish Economic Forum. "It's not a relevant newspaper anymore and this newspaper's going to be closed by Christmas,"said O'Brien, who has been at odds with the company's board over plans to refinance a 200-million-euro debt issue that was meant...
