As Tom the Redhunter reported in his Walter Reed AAR, it was pretty windy out, but warm. Well, that wind blew in the precursor of our snow fall - COLD WEATHER. The temps never made it out of the 30s on Saturday, and never out of the 20s thru today, Tuesday. The wind was blowing from the north, into our faces. This had Legionnaires Glenn (WWII - Iwo Jima) and Frank (Korea and having health problems) leaving early. The other Patriots this Saturday included Legionnaire Halsey (USMC - Korea), Lurker Bill and FReepers Cindy_True_Supporter, and myself. Even with 8 moonbats...

We have been called numerous times over the last week from the RNC and the state Republicans both asking us for money. We refuse to give them any more money until they turn around and 'get right.' The callers sure are persistent, though, and talk right through my 'no'! Anyone else coming up against this?

Last week when President Obama laid out his budget the message he gave was very clear. The President willing to drastically mess with the economy to protect the environment. Obama keeps making the excuse that alternative fuel sources will help free us from foreign oil suppliers. That claim was just another lie by the President. At the same time he was making his speech his secretary of the interior was canceling 77 Utah oil and gas leases that had gone through seven years of studies, negotiations and land-use planning. In an instant, he eliminated hundreds of jobs, terminated access to...

AFTER a month of personnel appointments and canine selection, last week was the Obama administration's week of revelation. In a speech at Camp Lejeune, President Obama pledged "to succeed" in what candidate Obama called a "misguided war" in Iraq - slowing down his promised pace of troop withdrawals, pledging to retain a substantial military force to support Iraqi democracy, and claiming credit for a "new strategy" that was largely the implementation of President Bush's own. The McGovernite peace candidate became the responsible commander in chief. On domestic policy, the revelation was different. Candidate Obama was a tonal moderate - a...

Family Planning Associates, San Diego, Saturday, Feb. 21, 2009 Today was a very slow day at FPA and thanks be to God and Our Lady of Guadalupe, we had four miraculous saves! Two sidewalk counselors and seven public prayer warriors came to FPA today from 8-11 a.m. As do many, before I go to the mill and while I am there, I pray the prayers to bind the demonic in the name of Jesus Christ Our Lord. We also use Holy Water & Blessed Salt. We've found this to be very helpful. Today was exceptionally beautiful as David and I...

Sometimes, it turns out, politicians can be taken at their word. More than a year ago, while campaigning for the Democratic nomination, Barack Obama told the Reno Gazette-Journal that "Ronald Reagan changed the trajectory of America in a way that Richard Nixon did not, and in a way that Bill Clinton did not." Reagan, he said, "put us on a fundamentally different path because the country was ready for it." The implication was that Obama, if elected, would be no less ambitious. Just six weeks into his term, Obama has opened his bid to redraw the boundaries of our politics...

DIWANIYAH — Female students in Diwaniyah are celebrating the unveiling of a new secondary school for girls. A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held at the Al Irshad Secondary School for Girls Feb. 26 to celebrate the completion of the new $1.2 million facility. The 12-classroom, multi-level school includes a laboratory, library, storage rooms and administrative buildings for 360 students. Iraqi contractor Al-Kahlaa Company began the project in December 2007 and employed 50 local men during construction. Speakers at the ceremony included Shakir Ne’ma abid-own, director general of education for Diwaniyah Province, Michael Klecheski, lead for the Diwaniyah Provincial Reconstruction Team, and...

WHEREAS, trisomy is the presence, within a person’s cells, of an extra set of chromosomes instead of the regular two. WHEREAS, the most common trisomies in newborns are trisomy 21 (Down syndrome), trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome), and trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome). WHEREAS, trisomy pregnancies can present unusual complications and can be more at-risk than non-trisomy pregnancies. WHEREAS, the life of every child is precious, regardless of the number of chromosomes he or she may possess. WHEREAS, parents should take advantage of the local support groups and online communities that offer education, encouragement, and counseling for those managing trisomy pregnancies or...

Even Harold Ford joins in on the fun.

Who is really in charge of our public lands and resources? The American public — or the radical left? The recession continues to worsen. Stores and companies are closing their doors. Millions are unemployed. Families are struggling to pay for homes, food, cars and fuel. President Obama just signed a controversial, pork-laden, trillion-dollar "stimulus" package. We'll spend another $350 billion this year on imported oil. And with the stroke of a pen, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar canceled 77 Utah oil and gas leases that had gone through seven years of studies, negotiations and land-use planning. In an instant, he eliminated...

Looks like the Wednesday hooha at the White House is going to be a regular thing: The White House is the place to be on Wednesdays. Since the presidency changed hands less than six weeks ago, a burst of entertaining has taken hold of the iconic, white-columned home of America's head of state. Much of it comes on Wednesdays. The stately East Room, where portraits of George and Martha Washington adorn the walls, was transformed into a concert hall as President Barack Obama presented Stevie Wonder with the nation’s highest award for pop music on Wednesday. A week before that,...

FORWARD OPERATING BASE DELTA — The judges in the Hayy judicial system currently have no courtroom, no judge’s chambers and get only two to four hours of electricity a day. That is about to change. Thanks to an Iraqi Commander’s Emergency Response Program project, the existing building which also houses the Hayy real estate offices will be refurbished, and a new building that will include a new courtroom, judge’s chambers and administrative offices, will be constructed. Hayy Chief Judge Falah Kareem cut the ribbon and laid the first tile at the brick and mortar ceremony, signifying the start of the...

3/3/2009 - SOUTHWEST ASIA (AFNS) -- Coalition airpower integrated with coalition ground forces in Iraq and International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan during operations March 2, according to Combined Air and Space Operations Center officials here. In Afghanistan, Air Force A-10 Thunderbolt IIs dropped general purpose 500-pound bombs, striking a large group of anti-Afghan fighters amassed for an attack on a coalition forward base near Asmar. The strike repelled the attack, inflicting heavy casualties on the enemy force. Near Sheykhabad, an A-10 flew a show of force to stop an enemy sniper attack against a coalition convoy. The attack ceased...

TRENTON - The push to make New Jersey the fourth state with a one-handgun-per-month buying limit has stalled in the state Senate in the face of opposition from rural Democrats and a wall of Republicans. Three South Jersey Democrats from rural areas bucked their party to vote against the plan, leaving it one vote shy of reaching Gov. Corzine, who has said he would sign the bill into law. Twenty Senate Democrats supported the plan, with 21 votes needed for final passage. Every Senate Republican stood against the bill or did not vote. State Sens. Jennifer Beck (R., Monmouth) and...

Banking problems and “toxic assets” are major contributors to the ongoing decline in the stock market, but it is quite likely that investors took them into account last year. The 800 pound gorilla in the living room that nobody seems to want to talk about consists of Barack Obama’s agenda (per his State of the Union Address) to impose taxes on all fossil fuels, or require users of fossil fuels to buy carbon offset credits from the modern counterparts of medieval indulgence peddlers. As long as this agenda continues to menace the United States, investors are rightly reluctant to invest...

US banks may need more bail-outs, says Ben Bernanke Stock markets across the world suffered a second day of turbulence as the Chairman of the Federal Reserve warned that the US Government may have to pour even more cash into the twin bail-outs of its financial and economic systems.

Friends, The days are dark right now. The Obama Administration, composed of some of the most anti-American, anti-freedom, and anti-Constitutional leaders we have ever seen, are busy daily deconstructing a free society that took 232 years to build. For those that are perceptive, it can readily be seen that there is brewing on the horizon a battle of epic proportions in the political realm. Like the test Abraham Lincoln referred to in his Gettysburg Address in November,1863, we are met on a great political battlefield which will determine whether a nation founded in liberty will survive, or whether a nation...

He lets it rip.
