The Times Unofficially Endorses Gore: Bush Confuses The Media http://www.jewishworldreview.com LAST THURSDAY, in an astonishing editorial, The New York Times unofficially endorsed Al Gore over Gov. George W. Bush for president in the 2000 election. The headline read "Al Gore as the Un-Clinton," and the writer reacted favorably to the Vice President’s tepid candidacy announcement in Carthage, TN, last Wednesday, pronouncing that Gore is "particularly expert on foreign relations and the environment, areas where leading Republican candidate, George W. Bush, is weak." This, of course, is absurd. Where was Gore —who, according to the Times has been a “key ...

Politicians think we're fools -- they're right http://www.jewishworldreview.com -- IF POLITICS DOESN'T make you cynical, nothing will. Prepping for a Senate race next year, New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman is parading in pro-family drag. Whitman, a Republican who's dogmatically pro-abortion and slavishly devoted to gay rights, has indicated she'll sign a modified parental-consent law for minors seeking abortions, pending before the state legislature. The governor also looks with favor on a gay-marriage ban. Whitman has been elected governor twice, in off years, by margins of less than 1 percent. She'll be running for the Senate in a presidential ...

GOP must lead in foreign policy http://www.jewishworldreview.com -- ONE IMPORTANT LESSON to be learned in the wake of the Serbian conflict is this: Since the Cold War ended, with a few brief exceptions, the United States has been on an intellectual vacation concerning foreign-policy issues. That's why we were caught with our intellectual pants down as General Clinton was preparing to bomb Serbia. Now's the time for Republicans to pick up the ball. During the Gulf War, we had a national mini-debate on the proper role of the U.S. military in international affairs, but it didn't take long until ...

Tyler Morning Telegraph P. O. Box 2030 Tyler, TX 75710 “IS THERE TROUBLE PENDING IN THE PANAMA CANAL?” In Section IV of the Communist Manifesto, it calls for the “forcible overthrow” of the Capitalist System. In official documents the United States is called “China's main enemy”. Panama's Law No. V, runs roughshod over the Rights of the U.S. which were guaranteed by the 1977 Carter-Torrijos Panama Canal Treaties. Our Media appears to be afraid to bring up the subject. Congress is just too busy to demand an accounting of President William Jefferson Clinton for his policy regarding America's national security ...

Monday's accord between the Kosovo Liberation Army and NATO--pursuant to which the KLA is supposed to disarm--appears to have defused a tense situation in Kosovo. Filling the province's postwar power vacuum, the KLA's armed and uniformed insurgents for a few days assumed de facto political authority, thereby compromising NATO's peacekeeping mission and the establishment of a United Nations civil authority to oversee Kosovo. Now, in return for its agreement to disarm, the KLA believes NATO will let the KLA become the core of postwar Kosovo's army and police force. In essence, the U.S. and NATO are empowering the KLA as ...

Federal grand jury indicts 2 in killing, carjacking State defends bond set for 3rd suspect 6/23/99   By Tom Bailey Jr. The Commercial Appeal A federal grand jury in Memphis on Tuesday indicted two accused killers of Barbara Ann Lee, who was slain last week after she was carjacked at a Collierville restaurant. The indictment charges brothers Robert Carpenter, 19, and Antonio Carpenter, 18, with carjacking, using a firearm during a crime of violence, and killing a witness to a federal crime. The carjacking and killing-a-witness charges carry maximum penalties of death or life imprisonment, while the firearms charges could ...

HOLD ALL STUDENTS TO THE SAME STANDARDS By SUSAN BRADY KONIG I HEARD something that was pretty racist the other day - that doing away with a good portion of the remediation classes at CUNY is "ethnic cleansing." The incredibly inappropriate comparison, made by Queens Councilwoman Helen Marshall and seconded by Manhattan Councilman Bill Perkins, implies that minorities cannot be expected to rise to the challenge of college-level work. Their comments, criticizing a report prepared by CUNY task-force head Benno Schmidt, seem to knock the civil rights movement back to a time when minorities were kept in their place, ...

For education & discussion only.     In the great Senate race between Hillary Clinton and the world, public opinion polls will be the coin of the realm. Beware: already there is a lot of counterfeiting going on. The headline of Sunday’s New York Daily News trumpets the first lady’s “eight point lead” over prospective GOP opponent, New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani. Don’t believe it.    MRS. CLINTON WILL surely be a most formidable candidate. She may very well become senator, then someday president, no fooling. But she is not ahead in this race today. In fact, were the ...

WASHINGTON -- Texas Gov. George W. Bush swept into town in triumphal fashion Tuesday to soak up accolades and admiration from congressional Republicans who appeared virtually ready to crown him the next president. Bush did not disappoint them with an easygoing style and apparent confidence as GOP senators and representatives paid homage to a candidate many see as their best hope for recapturing the White House in 2000. The governor struck the right chord when he said he would work with them to get an agenda passed. At a time when Democrats are railing against a "do-nothing Congress," such support ...

Hillary Clinton in a 1992 60 Minutes interview: "The American people are tired of liars and people who pretend to be something they're not."

Published Wednesday, June 23, 1999 Hearing of her arrest, shocked friends described the woman as accomplished in the culinary arts, a good listener, a jogger, and most of all a devoted wife and mother. She spoke up for the rights of others. She brought polenta to potluck suppers. She had been on the run for 23 years after participating in radical activities and a bank robbery meant to finance those activities. Now she stood in court, awaiting a reckoning, as her husband and their child fought back tears. Former fugitive Katherine Ann Power in 1993 "Her absence will be ...

PRIZREN, Yugoslavia -- After a 55-year break, the Luftwaffe has been flying over the southern Balkans, and panzers adorned with distinctive black and white crosses have been growling through remote mountain passes. NATO forces in Kosovo have been involved in only one firefight since occupying the disputed province of Kosovo 11 days ago. That brief, fierce battle involved German troops based in this city who killed two men who had shot at them. More than any other NATO nationality in Kosovo, the Germans have tried to speak to Albanians and Serbs in their own languages and explain to both ...

JACKSON, Mississippi (AP) -- Mississippi Gov. Kirk Fordice announced Tuesday he was resigning as a national co-chairman of the Dan Quayle presidential campaign amid a love triangle that has shaken his office. Fordice, 65, said he hoped his wife, Pat Fordice, would give him a speedy divorce so he can marry a woman he's known 50 years, Ann G. Creson of Memphis, Tennessee. The governor rebuffed questions on whether his affair is at odds with the family values campaigns that got him elected in 1991 and re-elected in 1995, a theme that is also dominant in the Quayle campaign. "You ...

It never would have occurred to anyone to leave Hitler or Mussolini or the Japanese warlords in power at the end of World War II. That would have been unthinkable -- and politically and militarily intolerable. It was in the Korean War that we began a "no win" strategy, leaving the North Korean Communists in power. We continued tragically in the Vietnam War, as President Lyndon B. Johnson pulled punches in picking targets and President Richard Nixon was left facing demands we back out, leaving the Communist North Vietnamese to take over South Vietnam. With Libya's Moammar Gadhafi acting ...

WASHINGTON -- There's a story out of Hollywood that Francis Ford Coppola is wooing Leonardo diCaprio to play the young Sonny Corleone in "The Godfather, Part IV." It is hard to picture the girlish Leo as the super-macho gangster depicted with memorable volatility and virility by James Caan in the original "Godfather." And after "Godfather III" soiled the legacy of the first two Oscar-winning films, is it really necessary to beat a dead horse's head? Besides, the 2000 political race is already a sequel, with a cast of familiar names -- Bush, Gore, Clinton, Dole -- and its own version ...

SAN FRANCISCO - Criminals have a good shot at life on the lam in California, where more than 2.5 million arrest warrants have gone unserved, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. Most of the outstanding warrants are for minor offenses, but tens of thousands are for people wanted for violent crimes, including more than 2,600 homicides, the newspaper reported Tuesday. ``These numbers are startling and disturbing and represent a serious defect in the criminal justice system,'' California Attorney General Bill Lockyer said. ``It breeds disrespect for the law ... and exposes innocent people to criminal behavior.'' Law enforcement agencies statewide say ...

Not all of my hexes live in Texas. But enough of them do so that I reflexively keep my left hand high when anything associated with the Lone Star State veers into my lane of life. And Texas looms extra-large this season. Lord Stanley's hockey cup just went to Dallas, where humidity is more of a problem than high-sticking. The estimable San Antonio basketball club looks on the verge of becoming world roundball champeens, in a state known more for broncs than buckets. And if Governor George Dubayah Bush was any further ahead in the presidential sweepstakes, they'd call off ...
