I am not a big fan of Bill O'Reilly, but why is he doing the job of the Main Street Media by himself? Why are the Republicans so mute? TUNE IN NOW! BOR is going to talk about the romantic involvement with a Fannie Mae executive. We know the drill folks, but tune in while SOMEONE in the media is bothering to cover the facts.

The Creature from Jekyll Island A Second Look at the Federal Reserve October 28, 2006 Expert Page | Book Information JIM: You hear a lot of talk about the Federal Reserve today: "the Fed is supposed to be an inflation fighting institution."

My next guest doesn't believe that's the case. Joining me on the program is G. Edward Griffin, he's a writer and documentary film producer with many successful titles...

For many years the President and his Administration have not only warned of the systemic consequences of financial turmoil at a housing government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) but also put forward thoughtful plans to reduce the risk that either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac would encounter such difficulties. President Bush publicly called for GSE reform 17 times in 2008 alone before Congress acted. Unfortunately, these warnings went unheeded, as the President's repeated attempts to reform the supervision of these entities were thwarted by the legislative maneuvering of those who emphatically denied there were problems. The White House released this list of attempts...

An Italian comedienne faces prosecution for insulting the Pope, an offence that carries a prison sentence of up to five years. Sabina Guzzanti, noted for her sharp satirical wit and lampoons of the powerful, is accused of "offending the honour of the sacred and inviolable person" of Pope Benedict XVI at a rally in Rome in July at which opposition leaders accused Silvio Berlusconi, the Prime Minister and media tycoon, of passing ad personam laws to protect his own interests and avoid prosecution for alleged corruption. Speakers at the rally on Piazza Navona also protested against excessive interference by the...

No one likes war. War is a horrific affair, bloody and expensive. Sending our men and women into battle to perhaps die or be maimed is an unconsciounable thought. Yet some wars need to be waged, and someone needs to lead. The citizenry and Congress are often ambivalent or largely opposed to any given war. It's up to our leader to convince them. That's why we call the leader "Commander in Chief." George W's war was no different. There was lots of resistance to it. Many in Congress were vehemently against the idea. The Commander in Chief had to lobby...

Tuesday, 09 September 2008 Says blood is on mayor’s hands for ignoring 2006 sanctuary city law Washington, D.C. – U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Littleton) today criticized Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper (D-Denver) and Governor Bill Ritter (D-CO) for failing to enforce state laws against sanctuary city policies that resulted in the release of Francis Hernandez on multiple occasions and, ultimately, the deaths of 3 innocent people. “It is the mayor’s responsibility to enforce state laws as they apply to Denver,” Tancredo said. “Since Denver continues to remain a sanctuary city, in clear violation of state and federal law, the blood from...

I lost a friend recently. She was hiking in the high mountains of California, fasting and praying, on a spiritual vision-quest of sorts. A microscopic blood clot ended her life. At one moment she saw the sun rising over the mountain peaks and felt the crisp bite of the mountain air. In the next, she was gone, leaving all of her friends to wonder why God would take her from us. We were never particularly close, but she is someone that I have admired and respected for years. She has a disconcerting habit of returning the least affection many-fold, often...

Steve Shippert, of ThreatsWatch.org just sent this email out on a small email ring of bloggers. It is simply and truly incredibly important, and eloquent. I beseech every blogger to post it on their blog. If all do, it will redound widely, and be widely heard, as it must be, if we care for our nation, our children's future, everything we value in life and liberty. This must get out. It can really shape the debate in this country, and sway many. In every election, there is a moment when it happens, and Shippert's message is that moment. PLEASE, everybody...

This was posted on a local forum in my hometown. I am really interested in your comments. "Babe, just like you believe now, several years ago I also thought FOX was fair and balanced when they were rightfully slamming the Clinton's. I now don't think any "news" stations are fair and balanced and probably have never been. CNN, FOX or any of them. They all work for the same corporate masters. Since the huge corporations own them, they are told to obey and report the news slant they are told to do. Once again the people at the top who...
