Randall Hoven, an engineer by training, writing at the American Thinker asks a set of questions that are *on the money* (exactly right or accurate): How did this financial mess happen? And why did it apparently happen in Europe first then in the U.S.? And how could a proportionately small decline in the U.S. real estate market first bring about a sudden crash in European investment markets? See here: http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/03/how_did_this_happen.html Respectfully, the answers that Hoven and his online commenters give are mostly off base and likely confuse symptoms for causes. I would suggest that Hoven and others read Anthony Downs...

Location 2100 Maple Los Angeles, CA INTERESTING POINTS: 1. Interesting that this group has the recourses to rent a permanent facility. (even if it is in downtown) 2. Note the mural there is a man holding a Palestinian flag, leading a group of Hispanic people. 3. This facility just opened this month. Downtown Los Angeles is unbelievably dirty. Trash everywhere and just dirt. Very few light posts so it is dark and creepy. The meeting was supposed to start at 6:00 but at 7;15 a gang looking crowd was developing and since I was alone, I thought it best to...

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, December 30, 2008 “I have not seen such hatred in this country since Selma. That was when I really just shuddered and thought–they (the pro-Hamas-niks) are taking away our country.” (See below for her report, just in). FT. LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA. December 30, 2008 “This is not Gaza, or London, or Paris, or even Detroit. This is downtown Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.” Tom Trento is describing the intense demonstration against Israel that just took place. He made the video by quietly and bravely circulating among the pro-Palestine demonstrators so that we can easily hear their chants. At red-hot levels...

What if they held a protest and hardly anybody came? The far-left ANSWER coalition — a group that has drawn thousands of anti-war protesters to Washington in the past — mustered about 10 demonstrators Saturday outside the National Building Museum, site of the G-20 economic summit. Other G-20 protests drew larger crowds but, ironically, the largest protests Saturday weren't about ending global capitalism at all. About 300 demonstrators supporting Tibetan independence marched outside the summit, and were joined by a smaller group from the spiritual movement Falun Gong in protesting Chinese human rights policies.

HAVANA, Cuba, Nov 10 (acn) The U.S based organization ANSWER Coalition called upon the outgoing Bush administration and the incoming Obama administration to take action to end the economic, financial and commercial blockade against Cuba. The organization’s announcement, which was sent to this agency via email, says two months ago, following hurricanes Gustav and Ike, more than 35,000 letters were sent to the White House and Congress calling for an end to the blockade and embargo. In response to the US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice’s who said this was not the time to end the blockade, A.N.S.W.E.R Coalition stated...

The Obama campaign’s Muslim outreach director participated in a meeting in mid September that was attended by several controversial Muslim activists, NBC News has learned. The Obama campaign now concedes that was a misjudgment, and that its top Muslim staffer would not have attended the meeting if she had known the full participant list beforehand. “Would a campaign staffer have attended if they were aware of the complete list of attendees? No,” said Obama spokesman Ben LaBolt in an email statement to NBC. The Muslim outreach meeting On September 15, newly named Muslim outreach director Minha Husaini spoke to a...

Lots of groups were there. LA Answer, the peace group, was aggressive and loud. The Obama supporters were subdued. AARP was there, as was a large group of Ron Paul Supporters. There was a large anti abortion group. Every one of the Pro - McCain supporters agreed that the border needs to be secured. Law Enforcement was great, horse patrol was there. A Few of the LA Answer Peace advocates had to be detained for pushing and shoving. Mc Cain was much more on point than Obama, who seemed to be vague and rambling.
