I apologize for the vanity post, but something is very odd here. When Hillary announced her run for Senate yesterday she did it alone. No Chelsea, No Bill. Does this strike anyone as odd? Chelsea isn't in school, and Bill could have put off his Poverty Suck-Up Tour to support his loving wife. It has been puzzling me and I am wondering what the heck is going on. This woman is the queen of the fake family photo-op and yet no attempt was made to give us that smarmy and disgusting group shot of the Klintons looking into the heavens ...

According to our early computer projections, Albert Gore jr. will be re-elected President of the United States tonight in a landslide 49 state victory. President Gore and Vice President Feinstein have apparently won the electoral votes of every single state but Wyoming and have won the national popular vote by twenty-five points. “Ever since the Republican Party broke up in 2000 things have been so easy for us, it’s like a dream.” said Gore 2004 campaign chairman Lanny Davis amid popping champagne corks and cheering at Gore headquarters. “America has sent a message loud and clear…America rejects right wing ...

I've tried to warn you dopey sheeple about NAFTA. Free Trade is a scheme advanced by globalists to create a world without borders. Here's another glimpse into their New World Order... Story here July 7, 1999 `NAFTA' for military proposed U.S. war college report urges joint command with Canada, Mexico By Linda Diebel Toronto Star Latin America Bureau MEXICO CITY - A United States military report advocates a joint command for American, Mexican and Canadian forces, in the same way the three countries are united under free trade. -SNIP-

This morning's show had a segment where host Charles Gibson revealed the results of an ABC poll on Hillary's run for the Senate. Even before the results were shown on the screen, Gibson was qualifying the results by stating "how unscientific the process was." The results showed: 69% Thought her run was wrongheaded. 31% Thought the run was a good idea. (with over 30,000 respondents) After the results were flashed on the screen, Gibson went even further by stating "that he couldn't believe the results" and how "unscientific" the results were. He was afraid that those who conducted "scientific" polls ...

I lost my respect for law enforcement today. On my way to work, just 20 hours before the anniversary of our Declaration of Independence, I was pulled over by the Katy, Texas Police Department. The cause? The bulb illuminating my rear license tag wasn't bright enough. Okay, that's not my main gripe. I'll cover that later. What has me incensed it what took place during the traffic stop. As the 'good cop' was explaining why he stopped me and was checking my papers, his partner opened the passenger door and rifled through the junk on my passenger seat. I should ...

Date: August 6, 1998 Contact: Tracey Mills 202/624-8667 States Fight National I.D. Card Federal Rule Threatens State Efforts to Protect Citizens WASHINGTON, DC With the stroke of a pen, a proposed federal rule requiring social security numbers on newly issued driver’s licenses would repeal state efforts to protect consumer privacy, guard against identity fraud and improve service at the DMV. The rule also violates existing federal law. "This would tie the hands of all state legislators in protecting citizens," said Missouri State Representative Joan Bray. "With this rule, lost or stolen driver’s licenses would result in identity fraud and privacy ...

Pity Energy Secretary Bill Richardson. He has inherited an agency that has trashed our nuclear weapons program. Now he has to clean up nothing less than a national security disaster area. Or so the story goes. Richardson talks up reform on the TV news shows. But his rhetoric doesn't square with his actions. So far he has demoted and suspended whistle-blowers. He has fired a reform-minded top official. And he has left in place anti-nuclear activists who put security warnings on ice. On May 30, Richardson vowed he would fire those responsible for the security meltdown at U.S. labs by ...

‘We're gonna take some special precautions...’ &#0151James Gatzke MAYOR     WEDNESDAY MORNING, New Berlin residents were left with little or no water. The problem was caused by a new computer system; ironically, one designed to avoid the problems of Y2K. It allowed the city’s two main water tanks to drain without activating the pumps to fill them back up.     The system’s been reset, but by Wednesday afternoon, water was gushing from the tank’s overfull pipes.     Mayor James Gatzke said, “We’re gonna take some special precautions to make sure we have somebody monitoring, manually monitoring, the systems until they can tell ...

Commission questions U.S. ability to repel variety of attacks WASHINGTON -- The United States is ill-prepared to combat a growing and "grave" threat from proliferation of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons around the world, a high-level government commission concludes. Nightmare scenarios include a disgruntled Russian scientist selling nuclear-weapons fuel to Iran, or anthrax being released in a subway at rush hour, sending 6,000 people to emergency rooms. "These events have not taken place. But they could," warns the panel, chaired by former director of Central Intelligence John M. Deutch. The commission will officially release its report next week, but ...

| | | | THURSDAY JULY 08 1999 While hypocritical liberals still remain in control over most of the nation's public education, there are key signs that cracks are occurring in the once impenetrable wall surrounding the policies endemic to government-controlled schools. This, by the way, is a good thing and it's a trend that is long overdue. In California, Proposition 227 -- the initiative passed by voters a year ago designed to end the fallacious notion of "bilingual education" -- is languishing in court, challenged by liberal education protectors who see it as a challenge to their authority. ...

1) A Fox reporter asked Hillary about the billing records and turning $1,000 into $100,000, but only FNC showed how she dodged in replying. NBC's Andrea Mitchell worried: "The adulation is great, but is she prepared for whatever Giuliani can dish out?" 2) Trying to shame Giuliani into silence? NBC's Andrea Mitchell characterized a mild comment about Hillary as being "in her face" and played a soundbite from an opponent comparing him to Hitler. 3) GMA's Charlie Gibson portrayed Hillary as a victim about to be set upon by a mean press corps and opponent. He rebuked a columnist ...

  Thread One FOSSILS AND CATASTROPHES by Barry Setterfield At 8:31 AM on Sunday May 18th 1980, a magnitude 5.1 earthquake shook the 3000 metre peak of Mount St. Helens in the Cascade Range in Washington state USA. The mountain then exploded and a plume of volcanic gases, ash, and debris rose to a height of 19,000 metres through three cloud layers and swept north and east. That explosion, 500 times greater than the Hiroshima bomb, was heard 360 kilometres north in Vancouver, Canada. As a result, an area of 60 square kilometres to the north of the mountain was ...

"You've Got Mail" I have written elsewhere that the one thing that will not be tolerated in our present-day society is “intolerance.” An e-mail correspondent offered a correction that I accept as needed clarification: “You say only intolerance isn’t tolerated,” writes Brian S. “Wrong, Ron. Disagreement isn’t tolerated. It is simply called intolerance.” He continues, “Don’t add to the enemy’s efforts by submitting to [this] negative characterization of those who disagree.” Brian had a couple of other points I want to share with you. One is his contention that media bias is so pervasive these days that it has reached ...

Was Filegate Just A Snafu? Robert Novak July 8, 1999 WASHINGTON -- A petition to a federal judge last week raised the possibility that the FBI files case, one of the capital's great all-time mysteries, might yet be broken open -- with political implications for Hillary Rodham Clinton. It requests the deposition of a former Clinton White House aide's ex- wife who claims she observed her husband transferring FBI files into his laptop computer. The June 29 filing by the conservative Judicial Watch asked U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth in Washington to authorize the sworn testimony of Leslie Gail Kennedy, ...

On Friday, July 2 the Independent newspaper in Britain ran an article by its Belgrade war correspondent Robert Fisk entitled “Taken in by the NATO line”. The article presents a devastating picture of the role of the press corps in the war against Yugoslavia. Fisk shows how, with rare execptions, reporters abandoned any standpoint of objectivity and adopted uncritically the official rationale for the war. For the most part infected themselves with the anti-Serb hysteria of US, British and NATO officials, they sought to justify the bombing campaign by reporting NATO propaganda as fact and accepting without question the statements ...

CLICK FOR LINK WORLD-HERALD STAFF WRITER A Y2K-related computer glitch in the Nebraska State Patrol's crime database resulted in the loss of misdemeanor warrants that had been entered statewide during the past five months, a patrol spokeswoman said Wednesday. The scope of the problem and whether the warrants can be retrieved are not yet known, said spokeswoman Terri Teuber. The warrants were erased Wednesday as computer programmers were upgrading the state's system to be Y2K-compliant as it relates to the FBI's National Crime Information Center, Teuber said. The problem affects misdemeanor warrants entered on the Nebraska Crime Information System since ...

PRESIDENT CLINTON followed in the footsteps of John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson when he toured the Appalachian poverty trail. The president's anti-poverty proposals resemble those of Kennedy and Johnson: *salvation by government* But, like those politicians of the past who have opted for photo-ops in Bedford Stuyvesant, the Appalachian trail makes nice pictures while improving no one's lot. Speaking in Hazard, Ky, the president said he hopes to use tax credits to "inspire" private companies to build plants and stores in Appalachia. What's this? A cut in a company's taxes will inspire that company to expand its business? ...

NATO claims its aircraft destroyed 120 Serb armored vehicles and tons of other military hardware during its recent Balkans bashing. But as reported in this space last week, down in the Kosovo mud our grunts say, "It ain't so." Our warriors say it sure looks like NATO, after blowing a cool $4 billion on bombs and missiles, didn't do the demo job as hyped. Pound for pound of enemy gear destroyed, this is America's costliest war. So how did the Serbs pull the wool over NATO's electronic eyes and foil the most high-tech military force in history? Simple. They ...

The fragile peace between North Korea and its neighbors may again be under threat upon reports that it is constructing an underground missile base near the border with China. The base, and the newest generation of North Korean missiles may even pose a threat to US security. Although US inspectors found no direct evidence of a North Korean nuclear weapons facility when they checked a suspected site in May, there are still concern that the country is working towards a medium-range nuclear, chemical or biological capability. Observers believe the suspected missile base may be located near the Chinese border to ...
