Great Weather for a Freep! Saturday 78 & Sunny, except if you are Al Gore

The International Space Station was sailing along in orbit when, late last week, the Air Force told NASA a piece of space junk — a used Russian rocket — would pass too close for comfort. But when controllers tried to move the station, they could not. In fact, the station’s computer shut down the whole steering system for 90 minutes before engineers could regain control. But the rocket debris ended up passing at a safe distance, anyway. Faulty Instructions A collision could have destroyed the empty outpost, which has been in orbit for only seven months. The first residents ...

"The Third-Way Movement seeks to do nothing less than fundamentally shift the center of gravity around which the world has organized itself politically for the last 200 years, away from sovereign nation states and toward a set of interlocking, supra-national bureaucracies, each specialized in its own niche-from the IMF and World Bank, to the various world courts, to the Kyoto Protocols, to NATO. They seek no less than a new, post-national world order, stitched together like a monstrous bureaucratic Frankenstein, in which sovereign nation states increasingly cede to unelected and unaccountable international bureaucracies their power and authority to tax ...

Luke 11:37-46. "When Jesus had finished speaking, a Pharisee invited him to eat with him; so He went in and reclined at the table. But the Pharisee, noticing that Jesus did not first wash before the meal, was surprised. "Then the Lord said to him, 'Now then, you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness. You foolish people! Did not the one who made the outside make the inside also? But give what is inside the dish to the poor, and everything will be clean for you. " 'Woe ...

Unskilled Immigration Invasion Claims Another Victim And to top it off the mainstream press makes police involved in the high speed chase the issue, not the criminal. This goes on all the time in Southern California on an hourly basis. Illegal aliens fleeing police due to alien smuggling, drugs, criminal activity. Is there ever going to be a backlash against the Democratic Party for the unwanted unskilled mass immigration. Ted Kennedy started this in 1965. All his guarantees are garbage.

WHO RUNS THE WORLD? Quite a subject, and one which brings many different answers, most of which involve political figures, and nothing could be farther from the truth. Several years ago, a message that came from a high-placed individual within Chase Manhattan Bank, New York, to thehead of the Mexican Government at the time, came to light. In it, the suggestion was made that "since you now have complete control over the election process through the use of the new electronic voting machines, you should permit an occasional victory in some outlying areas for the opposition in order to limit ...

Delco Times Editorial: GOP wimps need to face facts June 18, 1999 For the last seven years - indeed, for most of his public life - President Clinton has evoked strong emotions, particularly from his enemies. But the visceral hatred of some Republicans has now crossed the line from the predictable to the absurd. During the just-completed air war against Yugoslavia, the world was treated to the unbelievable transformation of the Party of Hawks into the Party of Wimps. The House refused to support a statement supporting NATO's action, which was designed to force Yugo strongman Slobodan Milosevic's troops from ...

June 16, 1999 Christian evangelists turn House room into an old-fashioned revival meeting By Betsy Rothstein Just what Pastor Rod McDougal was doing holed up inside Room 2255 Rayburn last Thursday with a dozen fellow Christians, God only knows. The 67-year-old evangelist from Westminster, Calif., said the mission of the prayer vigil in the small hearing room was to pray for members of Congress. He intends to return once a month to continue his crusade. In between their prayers, the group welcomed a trio of GOP House members. They included Helen Chenoweth of Idaho, who has introduced a resolution ...

U.S. MAY GO PUBLIC WITH MORE EVIDENCE OF PAKISTANI ROLE New Delhi, June 18 - The U.S. Administration may go public with more evidence of Islamabad's involvement in Kargil if the President, Mr. Bill Clinton's personal messages to the Pakistan Prime Minister, Mr. Nawaz Sharif, go unheeded, according to a leading American think-tank. ``The Clinton administration could have more to say in public about the evidence that has shaped its views if private messages to Islamabad prove ineffective,'' Mr. Michael Krepon, president of the Henry L. Stimson Centre in Washington, said. In an exclusive written for the weekly Outlook, ...

PAK BRUTALITY Letters to the Editor Sir, This is with regard to the report about the torturing to death of six Indian soldiers by Pakistan.

The families of some of these Indian soldiers believe that they are still alive and are awaiting their return. Now the Pakistanis have tortured to death and mutilated the bodies of six Indian soldiers. One ...

Just heard Clinton on CNN telling us that the Russians were going to "administer" the airport. Do you think Ronald Reagan or Harry Truman would have let the Russians march in with 200 soldiers and humiliate the United States? They would have been outta there. But even the most feeble Russia imaginable can humiliate the most feeble president imaginable.

The petitions charge each of the three with indecent assault, harassment, conspiracy and unlawful restraint in the May 11 incident. When the assault allegedly occurred, the students ...

Sanity dose approved for inmate RACHEL O'NEAL ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT-GAZETTE The Arkansas Supreme Court said, in a 6-1 ruling, Thursday that the state may administer anti-psychotic medication to death-row inmate Charles Singleton. Singleton was convicted of the 1979 stabbing death of Mary Lou York at her Hamburg grocery store. Singleton's lawyer, Jeff Rosenzweig of Little Rock, argued that the state cannot forcibly medicate Singleton to make him sane enough to understand why he is to be executed. Singleton, who has been taking the anti-psychotic medication in prison, contends that without the medication, he would be legally insane and thus ineligible to ...
