    US government is a corporation so not immune of lawsuits. Natural born citizen issue discussed as well. Superior Court, district of Columbia, Washington DC. This one HAS jurisdiction to sue the US corporation, AKA the government, therefore Eric Holder and ALL senators etc...here is a law forcing Congress to read the bills - come back - re-read the bills 3 times. If that process is not respected, then the bills will not be valid. The Constitution, the Bill of Rights and how to sue the government. You cannot sue the government BUT you can sue the corporation of the United...

    The hawk flies just above the car as it rounds the corner. It glides through the trees, and comes to rest on a branch. Around the next corner, the road opens out into a fold between the hills. An old farmhouse and barn sits up slightly to the left. This is rural Pennsylvania - lush, green, and refreshingly cooler than the humid east coast at this time of year. And hidden underneath all this beauty, a natural resource that could answer the US's energy prayers. Around another small hill, and along a gravel track, sits a gas platform. It is...

  • 'Worried well' should not take aspirin to ward off heart attack

    A study of healthy adults found that those who took a daily aspirin for up to eight years did not significantly reduce their risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke. However, those who took the blood-thinning drug as part of a controlled clinical trial did increase their risk of stomach bleeding, compared to those taking a dummy pill. The findings cast doubt over proposals for “blanket prescription” of aspirin for the over-fifties or as part of a polypill, a multi-drug tablet being developed to help prevent heart problems. GPs currently prescribe aspirin to people who have already suffered a...
  • ADHD - holistic or meds

    08/30/2009 12:58:54 PM PDT · by urroner · 26 replies · 846+ views
    In another thread, I happen to mention a problem that exists between an ex-wife of mine and our youngest son. He has ADHD. Several years ago, he was on meds and he was doing well. He was getting nearly straight A's and had plenty of friends, but his mother didn't like him taking meds so she, on her own, just took him off of them and took him to see a holistic doctor. Well, she has actually taken him to see several and it's not working. The quacks, errr, doctors made huge promises and charged big bucks and the results...

    Here is video of a woman who said she is an "independent" ripping into New York Democrat Rep. Anthony Weiner at a Town Hall Meeting on August 27, saying that "for the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really afraid for my country." She told Weiner that the American people may have voted for "change" in the last election, but that people did not vote to "remake the nation." She continued, "You may not be aware of it, but we love this country!" . . . . (Watch Video)

    Texas for Sarah Palin ^ | Sunday, August 30, 2009 at 1:20 PM | Josh Painter
    The Economic Club of Southwest Michigan is using Sarah Palin's name to promote an event to which it hasn't yet even invited her to attend. But what can we expect from an outfit that considers left-wing columnist Tom Friedman to be a "world-renown leader"?  From The Herald-Palladium: In announcing its 2009-10 speakers lineup Friday, the club offered the teaser that former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin might speak to the club. Palin, who recently resigned as Alaska's governor, has not begun accepting speaking invitations. But when she does the club will invite her, said Club President Michael Cook. If she...

    The Oklahoman ^ | August 29, 2009 | By Jake Trotter
    Next weekend, fans of Oklahoma and Brigham Young will congregate outside Cowboys Stadium for tailgate parties, with one discernible difference. One side will be imbibing beer by the gallons; the other, sipping orange juice. Sooner and Cougar fans both share a fervor for their historically successful football teams. But BYU and its football program are worlds apart from any other. "Obviously BYU’s affiliation with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,” said Roy Brinkerhoff, BYU’s assistant manager of alumni activities, "that alone creates huge differences.” BYU, located in pristine Provo, Utah, is the largest private and largest religiously-affiliated...

    The work and teaching of Jesus offer important moral guideposts as we discuss how to deliver and pay for health care in America today. New Testament scholars generally agree that the earliest traditions about Jesus emphasize four interrelated themes: Jesus preached and practiced free healing, free food, open tables, and safe space for marginal people

    Austin American Statesman ^ | 8.30.2009 | Chuck Lindell
    This is already the hottest summer in Austin's history — shattering the previous record — but the sweltering city might not be done setting dubious milestones in 2009. Two more days of triple digits will tie the record for the most 100-degree temperatures in a year: 69 days of lawn-killing, air conditioner-straining heat. A typical year has 12 triple-digit days. The 1925 record appears safe for at least the next few days, with highs forecast in the 90s.

    SHE'S had six, possibly seven children, all to different fathers. Four were sent to live with their grandmother and at least one, police believe, has been murdered. Kate Elizabeth Hutchinson, 36, gave birth to her latest child in a Lismore psychiatric ward 10 days ago. The baby boy has since been removed from her care. Now, her estranged mother is begging authorities to stop her getting pregnant again. "Somebody, please, somebody has to do something to stop her from having any more babies,'' Helen Hutchinson said last week. "It's as much for her sake as it is for the children's....
  • AFL-CIO, some Dems push new tax (Barf)

    The Hill ^ | August 30, 2009 | Alexander Bolton
    The nation’s largest labor union and some allied Democrats are pushing a new tax that would hit big investment firms such as Goldman Sachs reaping billions of dollars in profits while the rest of the economy sputters. The AFL-CIO, one of the Democratic Party’s most powerful allies, would like to assess a small tax — about a tenth of a percent — on every stock transaction. Small and medium-sized investors would hardly notice such a tax, but major trading firms, such as Goldman, which reported $3.44 billion in profits during the second quarter of 2009, may see this as a...

"The two pilots did not manage to catapult to safety and were killed in the crash but there were no other casualties," police spokeswoman Agnieszka Humelusz in Radom, a city about 100 km (62 miles) south of Warsaw, told Reuters. Witness Leszek Kopec told Reuters by telephone: "The SU-27 crashed far beyond the...

    Columbia Conservative Examiner ^ | August 30, 2009 | Anthony G. Martin
    True, Kennedy was masterful at 'the personal touch' when it came to public relations. Perhaps this was his greatest strength. But the record shows that his political ideology was the exact opposite to that of the majority of the American people--sometimes dangerously so. Information has been uncovered which shows that Kennedy should have been arrested for treason. And, in spite of several publications that repoted the following facts, the media totally ignored them.

    Medvedev: blaming Soviets for WWII a 'cynical lie' By STEVE GUTTERMAN (AP) – 6 hours ago MOSCOW — Russia's president defended Moscow's role in World War II before the 70th anniversary of its outbreak, saying in an interview broadcast Sunday that anyone who lays equal blame on the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany is telling a "cynical lie." Dmitry Medvedev's remarks were the latest salvo in Russia's bitter dispute with its neighbors over the war and its aftermath. The Kremlin has launched a campaign for universal acceptance of its portrayal of the Soviet Union as Europe's liberator. In Eastern Europe,...

    Insert photo caption or credit hereThe Wall Street Journal reported this week the Obama administration will invest $2 billion (or more) in drilling off the shores of Brazil, of all places. The same Dem-wits who will do anything to keep us from drilling off our own shores are now investing $2 billion in a Brazilian oil company? The question is why? It’s a POLITICAL PAYOFF TO GEORGE SOROS is why. The liberal rabble-rouser has 5.8 million of the company’s U.S.-traded preferred shares. Once again mainstream media has turned a blind eye to newest of Obama scandals. The Lone Conservative says...
