Last week, I wrote about how America has let our military personnel down. This weekend, we celebrate the 4th of July, America's birthday. To remind you that the battle for freedom will never end, I want to share with you the following letter from a soldier from Fort Hood, Texas. Fort Hood, by the way, is the largest military base in the world. Two weeks ago, the Navy admitted that it had spent $25 million to renovate mansions of its admirals without congressional approval. The Pentagon has a larger fleet of executive jets for the generals and admirals than any ...

WHILE ALBANIAN VIOLENCE against minority Serbs and Gypsies escalates, unconsidered assertions of the Clinton administration actually invite revenge and nurture anarchy. What the Albanian side is now permitted to do will achieve what the Serbs failed to accomplish -- ethnic cleansing. The events of the past weeks reveal a campaign of violent intimidation aimed at the non-Muslim population of Kosovo. Already close to 80,000 Serbs and 3,000 Gypsies have been driven out of the province. If the goal of the NATO bombing was to expel the minority population of Kosovo, then there is no moral justification for the war. If, ...

Washington -- The citizenry is passing serenely through a time of grave peril. Leon Panetta sings from his hideaway in Carmel Valley, California, that "the projected budget surplus will exceed all expectations." He absconded to sunny Carmel from his position as the Boy President's chief of staff after the stench from the Oval Office became too much for his delicate nostrils. He now enthuses that this "unexpected" Federal surplus will in ten years reach nearly three trillion dollars, and in fifteen, "a whopping $5.935 trillion." Actually, the surplus is not all that unexpected. Supply-siders have explained ever since their ...

On Rush Limbaugh's radio show today Mark Levin of Landmark Legal naemd names in the ongoing suit against the IRS to disclose the sources of tips to audit conservative groups. Not surprisingly Sen. Diane Feinstein, Sen. John Breaux, and Rep. Henry Waxman are mentioned as the most frequent tippers to the IRS.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — A group of California firefighters is seeking to register a "European-American'' support group to fight for white rights in the multicultural workplace. San Jose Fire Department Capt. James Roszell in California, president of the European American Firefighters Association, said the new group was open to anyone, but so far all 30 members are white. "It encompasses all the people of Europe and European descent,'' Roszell told Friday's San Jose Mercury News. The group's mission statement says it was founded because ''we simply want to have a vehicle to help us to work more effectively within the ...

There was George W. Bush on the TV screen, and you almost expected to hear the familiar unseen announcer ask the familiar question: "Hey, Gov. Bush, you've just locked up the Republican presidential nomination. What will you do next?" And the winner's reply: "I'm going to Disneyland." The Texas governor didn't visit Disneyland yesterday, but he was in California, adding to the unprecedented $36 million-plus in campaign contributions that had rolled into the Bush-for-president coffers as of Wednesday. If his mind-boggling money-raising hasn't already guaranteed Bush the top spot on the GOP ticket in next year's presidential election, it certainly ...

BELGRADE (AP) -- More evidence of mass killings emerged Thursday in Kosovo and President Slobodan Milosevic won conditional support from a key opposition group, furthering his campaign to retain power and avoid war crimes prosecution. The commander of U.S. peacekeepers in Kosovo, meanwhile, warned that his soldiers face a continuing threat from Serb paramilitaries who remain in the province in violation of a peace agreement that required all Yugoslav forces be gone by now. In southwestern Kosovo, German troops found the graves of 119 people whom villagers said were murdered by Serbs on March 25 -- the day after ...

WHY DID OUR FOUNDING FATHERS EXPECT CITIZEN JURIES TO JUDGE OUR LAWS AS WELL AS THE GUILT OF THE INDIVIDUAL ? Because: "If a juror accepts as the law that which the judge states then that juror has accepted the exercise of absolute authority of a government employee and has surrendered a power and right that once was the citizen's safeguard of liberty." (1788) (2 Elliots Debates, 94, Bancroft, History of the Constitution, 267) "Jury nullification of law", as it is sometimes called, is a traditional American right defended by the Founding Fathers. Those Patriots intended the jury serve ...

Conservatives for Effective Leadership Thursday demanded that first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton repay the taxpayers for her Senate "campaign" trips to New York. "Hey, Hillary! Real New Yorkers pay their own way," says CEL president Gary Nolan. "Whether you're from East Hampton or West Seneca, everybody knows you can't run for elective office on the taxpayer's dime." Mr. Nolan calls Mrs. Clinton's likely candidacy for an open New York Senate seat her "Blonde Ambition Tour." Press reports indicate an average trip by Mrs. Clinton to New York runs from $10,000 to $20,000. She's taken at least a dozen trips ...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Texas Gov. George W. Bush reported today that he earned between $1.7 million and $9.7 million last year, mostly from selling his interests in oil, gas, real estate and a professional baseball team. The early front-runner for the GOP presidential nomination also reported to the Federal Election Commission that he received a $106,250 advance for an unspecified book that he plans to donate to youth charities. The financial disclosure report, required of all presidential candidates, shows that the son of former President George Bush is a member of a relatively small group — millionaires. The younger Bush ...

It was getting a little crowded in Heaven, so God decided to change the admission policy. The new law was that in order to get into Heaven you had to have a really bad day on the day that you died. The policy would go into effect at noon the next day. So, the next day at 12:01 a man came to the gates of Heaven, the angel at the gates, remembering the new policy, promptly asked the man, "Before I let you in, I need you to tell me how your day was going on the day you ...

Federal and state labor officials plan to launch a probe early next week into alleged labor violations by Silicon Valley companies who are reportedly using Asian immigrants to assemble electronic goods at homes and at rates well below standard. The Department of Labor (DOL) and the California Labor Commissioner's Division of Labor Standard's Enforcement will meet to form a task force to investigate whether several large Silicon Valley companies have violated child labor, safety, tax, and overtime laws, a spokeswoman for the federal agency said. "We have not determined which companies we're going to look at," regional DOL spokeswoman Deanne ...

WASHINGTON--Individual medical records, including patients' genetic information, could be disclosed by health insurers to credit card companies and other financial institutions under legislation overwhelmingly approved Thursday by the House. The controversial provision is embedded in a massive bill overhauling the financial services industry, which passed, 343 to 86. The provision was slipped into the measure late in the legislative process and was advertised as a medical confidentiality provision by its sponsor, Rep. Greg Ganske (R-Iowa), who is a doctor. Ganske said that his intention in adding the provision was to protect consumers' medical records and to allow their disclosure only ...

MEXICO CITY -- The Senate on Thursday let die a proposal to allow millions of Mexicans living abroad to vote by absentee ballot, denying the franchise to a potentially decisive bloc of voters in next year's presidential election. Mexican activists in the United States who had lobbied for the absentee vote were furious at being excluded from the 2000 ballot. Many blamed the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, which has ruled for 70 years. But other parties also drew criticism for failing to get the bill passed. The opposition-controlled lower Chamber of Deputies had approved a package of electoral reforms ...
