After MONTHS of letting posters write horrid things about Mormons and bash Romney to no end, after SWEARING he would NEVER in a million years vote for a MORMON for the Presidency- is it any wonder that Jim Robinson, when realizing his "FREEPATHON BEGATHON" wasn't going quite so well following the exodus of members, changed his tune. After weeks of being told he was aiding Obama, he FINALLY changed his tune. And where did he choose to announce his "EPIPHANY"? In his FREEPATHON thread. Robinson no more cares about principles or conservatism than Obama. The MINUTE people jumped ship (MANY...

I receive "Tweets" from Obama's "attack watch" and have since the ridiculous site went into operation. They NEVER mention any Republican candidates other than Mitt Romney. Tonight is the FIRST TIME since the campaign began they have targeted Newt Gingrich. I think this is an EXCELLENT sign that the "Newt" has the country's attention and the Kenyan knows it. Here is their message: @AttackWatch: Gingrich tries discredited Saul Alinsky attack line against @BarackObama: OFA.BO/V9rZAb KEEP IT UP MR. SPEAKER

In his new book, "Time To Get Tough" - Donald Trump does one of the things critics said he would never do in his flirting with running for president -- and that is disclose his financial statement. Trump also says he hasn't ruled getting into the race later, and recently added especially if Republicans choose the "wrong candidate."

The American phoenix is slowly rising again. Within five years or so, the US will be well on its way to self-sufficiency in fuel and energy. Manufacturing will have closed the labour gap with China in a clutch of key industries. The current account might even be in surplus.

Iran’s nuclear program, which stumbled badly after a reported cyber attack last year, appears beset by poorly performing equipment, shortages of parts and other woes as global sanctions exert a mounting toll, Western diplomats and nuclear experts say. The new setbacks are surfacing at a time when Iran faces growing international pressure, including allegations that Iranian officials backed a clumsy attempt to kill a Saudi diplomat in Washington. Analysts say Iran has become increasingly frustrated and erratic as political change sweeps the region and its nuclear program struggles.

I read this interesting piece, a special prayer for Yom Kippur, and was struck at how absolutely out-of-touch the author was at the reality of Barack Obama. Part of the prayer reads, "May G*d grant US President Barack Obama the determination to sweep away Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his menacing regime, without the military operation incurring severe costs to us, or undue losses to US forces". If this writer believes Obama will do anything to weaken Iran or protect the nation of Israel, he is delusional. "Easy fast" to those of you who acknowledge our holy day and best wishes to...

HOUSTON – While Texas lawmakers overturned legislation in 2006 that allowed inmates to receive Viagra with tax money, some inmates –including illegal immigrants -- are still receiving prescribed sex hormones behind bars. Jose Centeno is one of them. He was detained at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Houston in 2009. Authorities were investigating his immigration status because of a felony conviction for drug possession. ICE prescribed him sex hormones while he was locked up, because Centeno said it was medically necessary. "I'm transgender so I am taking female hormones," he said. "It's not a choice, I was born,...
