Washingtonians love to complain about taxation without representation. But for me and my fellow noncitizens, it is a fact of political life that we submit to unquestioningly year after year, primary after primary, presidential election after presidential election. Nearly 15 million people living legally in the United States, most of whom contribute as much as any natural-born American to this country’s civic, cultural and economic life, don’t have a say in matters of politics and policy because we — resident foreign nationals, or “aliens” as we are sometimes called — cannot vote.

Caitlyn Jenner is considering running for office. The 67-year-old Keeping Up with the Kardashians star told a crowd at the 92nd Street Y community center in New York City Tuesday that she will be looking at where she thinks she could be more effective: On the inside of government or working on her foundation.

On Oct. 22, 1844, thousands of followers of American evangelist William Miller woke up expecting Jesus Christ to make his triumphant return that day, as they had been told. That night, they went to bed, surprised and disappointed. But Miller's movement endured. It was too much to expect that birthers, presented with President Barack Obama's birth certificate, would say: "What surprising and wonderful news! We'll have to reassess our entire opinion of him." When it comes to matters of blind faith, cherished beliefs have a way of overriding facts. There has never been a shred of persuasive evidence that Obama...

Expert says lack of "chromatic aberration" means Obama BC is computer generated, not photocopy

So, in April 2008, it appears that a political deal was struck between the Democrats and Republicans that would provide cover for both McCain and Obama on the issue of eligibility. That would also explain the continuing conspiracy of silence by our political elite. Because SR 511 has no force of law, Congress protected itself from legal consequences, but by political fiat they could do a “quick and dirty” amendment to the Constitution. My fellow Americans – we’ve been had.

In Obama Senior's immigration file p.35 part II, there is another extension of time. Obama Sr. lists Ann S. Dunham as his wife (he blacked out something or someone else on this line), but left children blank. On Page 36 part IV of the same form, he certifies that everything is true. The date here is Aug, 31 1961, when Obama II was just a few weeks old. On p 32, William Wood has a memo dated 8/31/61 saying that Obama has a child living with the mother (Obama II), but he didn't get this off Obama father's form. Not...

(Note:the HTML on the images was tricky for me - if they don't show up it is my fault)Oh do come on folks.  There's an old saying: When the facts support your position, use them.  When they don't, or when you get caught lying, throw crap at the wall and hope something sticks!The latest is the National Review which had this to say about my analysis on the birth certificate: The PDF is composed of multiple images. That’s correct. Using a photo editor or PDF viewer of your choice, you can extract this image data, view it, hide it, etc....

An investigation by Scotland Yard into whether a gay group’s advert is a faith crime has been backed by the Catholic Church. The advert, showing a Bible next to a pool of blood under the headline 'In the name of the father,' was produced by the Gay Police Association and published in a national newspaper. Alongside the picture is the claim that a rise in homophobic attacks was due to religious beliefs. The Catholic Church in Scotland said it supported the investigation, describing the advert as "outrageous and intolerant." Peter Kearney, spokesman for the Scottish bishops, said: "This is exactly...

WASHINGTON – Harriet Miers, President Bush's nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court to replace Sandra Day O'Connor, is on record as supporting the establishment of the International Criminal Court, homosexual adoptions, a major local tax increase and women in combat, WorldNetDaily has learned. While some conservative leaders and organizations were stunned by the appointment, most were not alarmed by the lack of a paper trail by the nominee who has never served as a judge at any level. But a profile of her positions as a leader of the American Bar Association, a Dallas city councilwoman and as presidential counselor...

If U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John G. Roberts' confirmation hearing is any guide, we won't learn anything from Harriet Miers' confirmation hearing. So here are some questions we would like President George W. Bush to answer. You said, "Trust me." But why should we trust you when experience proves we could not trust the judgment of President Reagan (who gave us Justices Sandra Day O'Connor and Anthony M. Kennedy) or President George H.W. Bush (who gave us Justice David H. Souter)? Are you more trustworthy than Reagan or your father? You said, "She's not going to change. ... Twenty...

We need a fool in the White House. No, I've not joined the leftist Bush-is-an-idiot crowd. The president is a smart man, but he's in deep trouble. And no one in the White House seems willing to tell him why, which is where an official fool -- or White House jester, if you prefer -- would come in handy. In the Middle Ages, the court fool was often the only person who could point out the king's foibles and live to tell about it. No less than some medieval castle, the White House can become a haven for yes-men (and...

PINELLAS PARK, FL -- Bob Schindler, the father of severely brain-damaged Terri Schiavo, said his daugher is "begging for help," and so is her family. Now in her 11th day without food or water after her feeding tube was removed under court order on March 18, Schiavo is "failing," he said, but nevertheless "fighting like hell to live." Although "emaciated," Schiavo is "still communicating," Schindler said, "... And she's responding to me." Schindler spoke to reporters shortly before 1 p.m. outside the Woodside Hospice, where Schiavo is being cared for. Several days ago, a family spokesman reported that Terri's mother,...

A polar bear has killed the last villager on Russia's Vrangel island off the northern Chukotka peninsula, scientists at a local reserve said today. The reserve's workers attempted to save Vasilina Alpaun, who was attacked on her own doorstep, but were too late. The Ushakovskoye village had been abandoned since 1997, when its inhabitants were moved to the peninsula to make way for the bear reserve, but Alpaun, 25, returned to her old home shortly afterwards. Bears roam free on the island and are rarely aggressive, the reserve's director Leonid Bove said, adding that the woman most likely provoked the...

<p>SACRAMENTO (AP) - They bickered, they battled, they banged out 469 bills in four days.</p> <p>In the colorful lawmaking spectacle that shapes California for better and worse, the California Legislature last week cracked down on rowdy sports fans and music moguls. It gave test-fearing high school seniors a reprieve and offered marriage-style rights to gay and lesbian domestic partners. It tried to get sales taxes from online shoppers, then made it criminal to jump long airport lines to escape security.</p>
