SIOUX CITY -- On the eve of Thursday's Republican presidential debate in Sioux City, frontrunner Newt Gingrich picked up an endorsement from former hometown congressman Fred Grandy. "Quite honestly, he is the only guy that I see who is offering real leadership positions on these critical issues, whether they're talking about foreign policy, or economic policy or cultural policy," Grandy told the Sioux City Journal in an exclusive interview Wednesday.

I'm flabbergasted to hear people I normally agree with be so optimistic about the current upheaval. I am actually shouting at my television. I am watching Fox News Sunday, and politicians and pundits with whom I normally agree — Newt Gingrich, John McCain, Joe Lieberman, and Bill Kristol — are all making me crazy with their advice on Libya. Each seems to believe that success in America’s latest foreign adventure is predicated on taking out Moammar Gaddafi, and they are all blaming President Obama and Secretary Robert Gates for failing to grasp the obvious. So now I’m yelling: “Guys, the...

Listeners in the nation’s capital might be hearing again from Fred Grandy, the former “Love Boat” star and ex-congressman who left his radio show last week after a fallout with management allegedly over some on-air Islam remarks. But it might take awhile.

For most of the last decade, my husband, Fred Grandy, has earned his living as a news/talk morning radio host in Washington, D.C. For most of the last year, he has hosted The Grandy Group, a morning drive-time show covering politics, foreign policy, and pop culture, along with the usual regional and local stories that make up any given day’s news. (snip) Then I joined the show. Under the pseudonym of Mrs. Fred, I began harmlessly enough. I would show up every Friday at 8 a.m. and talk family and domestic stuff: raising a daughter in college, road rage in...

Washington, D.C. radio station WMAL is once again being accused of firing a popular talk show host because of his criticism of radical Muslims. The station, a major source of news and information for the nation’s capital, claims that popular morning host Fred Grandy resigned on his own, but Grandy tells AIM that he was essentially forced to leave after his wife, who is also outspoken about radical Islam, was cut from the program...........

Former Congressman Fred Grandy is no longer on WMAL Radio in Washington, DC because he and his wife told the truth about the threat which Shariah and Radical Islam pose to America. Fred Grandy and “Mrs. Fred” interviewed former FBI agents, experts on Shariah law and activists who are fighting radical Islamists in their communities. They told the truth about radical jihadists and their plans to gut the Constitution and destroy America.

Those inside the Beltway know Fred Grandy’s cheerful bright morning talk on WMAL-AM. Those outside the beltway know him as a Congressman, Gopher or star of the Monster Squad. But he somehow offended the thin sensibilities of the Council of American Islamic Relations, enough to get yanked off the air. WMAL has a reputation for caving to this group. They did the same thing to Boston talker Michael Graham when he was at WMAL. www.630wmal.com

Police “Show Of Force” At The Cardin Town Hall Meeting… Necessary or Overkill? Senator Ben Cardin had to shout his way through a town hall meeting last night, where angry constituents booed and jeered as he tried to explain health care reform working its way through Congress. Cardin was booed repeatedly and the crowd had to be asked to calm down to allow him to continue. Security was unusually heavy. After Cardin began speaking, university security officers marched through the audience and positioned themselves at the edge of the stage in a show of force. The atmosphere inside was more...

Statement of NOW President Kim Gandy With Trent Lott running the Senate and George W. Bush in charge of the White House and Supreme Court, the health and welfare of America's and the world's women and families have never been in greater jeopardy. Hammering homeland security, Saddam Hussein and the war on terrorism, the Bush-Cheney weapon of mass distraction controlled public dialogue for the last few months. Bush's "you're either with me or you're a traitor" scorched-earth campaigning helped ensure Republican control of the Senate. Centrist Democratic pols aided their opponents with their pressure to avoid social issues and pander...

The following is the only reference I could find on the NOW website to the recently passed "Born Alive Infants Act". This bill passed both chambers and is apparently on the way to the White House for the President's signature. The law will state any child born alive MUST BE KEPT ALIVE, even if the child was born in the process of a botched abortion.Notice from the NOW web site how a born child is referred to as a "fetus". Here is the text from their site: Another Fetal Rights Bill May Surface In the 106th Congress, Sen. Rick Santorum...
