A network of NGOs funded by U.S. taxpayers, the United Nations, other nations’ governments, and corporations, are secretly facilitating the invasion of illegal aliens at the U.S. southern border, a report said. A group of NGOs are literally giving illegals ‘blueprints’ on how to reach and cross the U.S. southern border. Muckraker, a new website, obtained what it described as “mass migration blueprints” that were distributed by NGOs to illegals across South and Central America. The “blueprints” detail transportation routes and points to cross the border. “The collapse of the U.S. southern border is the result of a carefully planned...

The NEWS or the NARRATIVE? I am suspicious of the narrative when the media presents the narrative as news. Here is the reality. The media introduces and advances the lie whilst the same media bury the truth. A news report of a recent event includes intelligence information. Reporting the facts accurately presents the news as truth. Biased reporting is narrative. A narrative may be the lie or the truth. If the news is not available to support the narrative then the narrative is the lie. The opposite of news include concealment, history, ignorance, question, silence, suppression, truth, quiet, speech and...

Calling all fishermen. the Great state of Tennessee has long been known for its call to service and has earned the title, "Tennessee Volunteers." Well it time to step up to the plate for all of the fishermen out there as well as the lady fishermen. The American Bass Anglers, along with the Paris/ Henry Coounty Chambers, The Stewart Co Chamber, Northwest TN Tourism and the Friends of Paris Landing need your help to take the solders of the 101st Airborne Div on a fishing trip to be held on KY Lake out of Paris landing State Park on Oct...

Jason Pye isn’t your typical political party chairman. He’s young, tattooed, sports a goatee, and is fiercely independent. But then, he’s the chairman of the Henry County Libertarian party, a party not known for its conformists. And even he sometimes doesn’t tow the party line. Pye, 25, was elected to the party’s chairmanship in January of 2005 after about a year of party interest and involvement. Though the party is small in heavily Republican-leaning Henry County — only about eight to 10 members attend regular monthly meetings — Libertarian candidates have made bids for local and state office from here....

NEW YORK (AP) - City officials recalled preparation material for math tests that had been sent to teachers after discovering they were filled with math and spelling mistakes. The materials were designed for math students in grades 3 through 7, and had been sent to math coaches and local instructional superintendents. The errors were found late Wednesday before the guide reached classrooms. Several answers in the guide were wrong. There were also sloppy diagrams and improper notation of exponents. There were at least 18 errors in the guide, and grammar and spelling issues proved just as problematic as the math....

SACRAMENTO - Maria Shriver's visit to an inner-city elementary school earlier this month was one of the many ceremonial duties she's assumed as the wife of California's governor. Still, one second-grader's inquiry was a surprise. ``Are you like the governor?'' he asked. ``That's a really loaded question,'' Shriver answered with a smile. Loaded perhaps, but it's a sentiment also murmured privately in the Capitol. Whatever the answer, there's no doubt the high-voltage former television reporter from a legendary Democratic family has emerged as a force in the administration of her husband, Arnold Schwarzenegger. The 49-year-old mother of four, who is...

WASHINGTON - The Christian Coalition is distributing 30 million voter guides that use conservative catch-phrases such as "unrestricted abortion on demand" and "affirmative action programs that provide preferential treatment" in detailing the positions of the two presidential candidates. The guides will be distributed nationally starting Thursday, handed out in churches, at shopping malls and at other public locations. The coalition has been producing the guides since 1992. Roberta Combs, coalition president, said the guides were an attempt to educate voters and "I don't think the wording is loaded at all." The description of the guides as "nonpartisan" was questioned by...

How to be a Catholic by The National Catholic Register December 12, 2003 / Pope John Paul II outlined a clear program for the future of the Church in his 2001 apostolic letter Novo Millennio Ineunte (At the Beginning of the New Millennium). His plan is brilliant in its simplicity: promote Sunday Mass, confession, prayer and community service. These four things are easy to promote and life-changing. To help Catholics take up the Holy Father’s challenge The National Catholic Register has produced four guides in Adobe Acrobat .pdf format for you to download, print out and pass on. Click...

  US army offers jobs to Turkish guides The U.S. army, which is preparing for a war against neighboring Iraq, is seeking English-speaking guides to help its troops to be deployed in Turkey, Anatolia news agency reported yesterday. The Turkish Guides Association (TUR-EB) officials said that they were still discussing the U.S. job offer but added a group of guides already accepted the offer and went to Iskenderun and Silopi to work with the U.S. personnel. TUR-EB officials stated that those accepting the job offer would work at Iskenderun, Adana-Incirlik, Afyon, Corlu and Sabiha Gokcen airports and southeastern provinces of...

Here in Louisiana Saturday, the Democrats won another important and hotly contested race, mainly because African-American churches supported the Democratic candidate. The well-funded conservative campaign waged by Republican U.S. Senate candidate Suzie Terrell could not overcome the illegal use of black churches by the incumbent Democrat Senator Mary Landrieu. Landrieu learned how to use these ministers and their church assets just as nearly every Democrat has done when running for office over the last 40 years. Landrieu won 52% to 48%, an impressive showing, given the fact that a very popular Republican President and his party pulled out all...

Democrat hawk whose ghost guides Bush Scoop Jackson's body is 20 years in the grave but his spirit goes marching on Julian Borger in Washington Friday December 6, 2002 The Guardian One man more than any other can credibly claim the intellectual and political credit for the Bush administration's bellicose showdown with Iraq and its muscular new doctrine of pre-emption. This lynchpin politician is not a member of the government, not even a Republican, but a maverick Democrat senator who has been dead for nearly 20 years. Henry "Scoop" Jackson is the common thread linking the hawk ideologues who have...
