King Obama I thought America elected a new president. But it is becoming increasing clear that in the minds of some, we have elected a king. Any criticism or disagreement with his policies are met with cries of “Off with their heads”. A professor friend of mine perceives President Obama as almost 'god like'; one who has come to save the world. His scariest comment to date is “God will deal with the Fox News channel for their treatment of Obama”. Is my friend a lone nut case or do many view Obama as divinity? For years political correctness has...

Thursday, March 12, 2009 Dear Mr. Massie, My husband and I met Lowell Thomas in 1980 when my husband was the Senior Air Attaché in Moscow. Lowell Thomas had been invited by our then U.S. Ambassador Thomas Watson, Jr. (IBM). At the time, Lowell Thomas was 88 years old and got up from his sick bed to speak to us at the Ambassador's residence. He was wearing a brocade Chinese jacket that he had acquired during his early years in China. I don't have to tell you that Lowell Thomas had interviewed Lawrence of Arabia, in Arabia - having coined...

Amongst the several revenue-raising proposals in President Obama’s $3.9-trillion budget proposal is a carbon tax that will impact all American families. His budget aims to raise $646 billion through a cap-and-trade tax on energy. Last year, Peter Orszag, who was then Director of the Congressional Budget Office and is now President Obama’s Director for the Office of Management and Budget, testified before the House Ways and Means Committee on a similar proposal. Speaking about a cap-and-trade proposal to cut carbon emissions by 15%, he said it would cost the average household about $1,300 a year through higher energy costs. He...

A new documentary movie by courageous filmmaker John Ziegler entitled "Media Malpractice" made its theatrical début last night in Seattle, Wash. The movie systematically proves how corrupt and dishonest the American media were during the campaign of 2008. The film was revealing, coming just days after a similar well-orchestrated effort by the Obama administration, Democratic Party officials, and liberal advocacy groups in league with the mainstream news media against Rush Limbaugh and Gov. Bobby Jindal as their primary targets. Even the president played his part in the bizarre, staged play by telling congressional Republicans, "You can't just listen to Rush...

GORDON Brown last night urged America to use the drive that put man on the Moon to save the Earth. The PM called on the US to “seize the moment” and lead the world out of economic crisis with green technology. Mr Brown forecast the global economy could DOUBLE — if America, Britain and the EU worked together for a “Global New Deal”. He warned America not to close its doors to foreign competition — saying protectionism would “protect no one”.

The IRS is in the process of working how just how the Federal Government will pay for 65% of an unemployed person's COBRA per Obama's policy. Well - the Federal Government won't be paying for this up front. The previous employer must collect the 35% of the premium from the employee and come up with the 65% for the balance of the premium. Then when the employer has proof that the premiums have been paid in full he can list them on the Quarterly Federal Tax Form (presently 941). Then he can request the Cobra payments to be applied toward...

Drudge is carrying this story our "good friends" in the media tried to hide by releasing today. The theory is Saturday is the least read day of the week.

U.S. Senate Votes to Uphold Second Amendment in Washington, D.C. Thursday, February 26, 2009 Fairfax, Va. - The United States Senate has voted, with overwhelming bipartisan support, to adopt an amendment offered by Senator John Ensign (R-NV) that seeks to protect the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens in the District of Columbia. The amendment, attached to S.160, the D.C. Voting Rights Act, will repeal restrictive gun control laws passed by the District of Columbia's (D.C.) city council after the landmark D.C. v. Heller Supreme Court decision. The vote margin was 62-36. "Today's vote brings us one step closer to...

Friend -- Last night, I addressed a joint session of Congress for the first time. To confront the serious economic challenges our nation faces, I called for a new era of responsibility and cooperation. We need to look beyond short term political calculations and make vital investments in health care, energy, and education that will make America stronger and more prosperous well into the future. Watch a few highlights from my address and share it with your friends now: A little more than a month into my administration, we've already taken bold steps to address our urgent economic problems. Through...

<p>WASHINGTON -- It was clear from President Obama's address to Congress on Tuesday that he's a believer in the American automobile industry, but his grasp of automotive history suggests he could use a refresher course.</p> <p>Obama said his administration won't protect auto makers from their own bad practices but is committed to a retooled auto industry, saying, "I believe the nation that invented the automobile cannot walk away from it."</p>

I am a student of history. Professionally, I have written 15 books in six languages, and have studied it all my life. I think there is something monumentally large afoot, and I do not believe it is just a banking crisis, or a mortgage crisis, or a credit crisis. Yes these exist, but they are merely single facets on a very large gemstone that is only now coming into a sharper focus. Something of historic proportions is happening. I can sense it because I know how it feels, smells, what it looks like, and how people react to it. Yes,...

The decision by Mayor Ray Nagin's administration to delete virtually every e-mail sent and received by Nagin last year was not only an apparent violation of the state public-records law, it also flies in the face of a detailed policy recommendation prepared less than a year ago by the mayor's own technology office. A memo titled "Proposed Alterations of E-mail Policies, " dated May 13, is posted on the city's Web site. The document offers a long list of suggestions, including sections devoted to e-mail retention and the recovery of deleted e-mail via the use of backup systems. One change...

LOOK at this absurd Obama body art...front page UK telegraph All perspective is GONE.

Here is a letter sent today to the San Antonio Express News: Forrest Gump’s quote “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get” has had special meaning this weekend. Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Congress passed the economic stimulus bill, and what a gift it is! While the Express-News crows about the stimulus funds that our caring Congress is sending to Texas and to San Antonio, they conveniently forget something. These are OUR tax dollars in the first place! Not just our tax dollars from Texas, mind you, but our children’s and our...

Glenn Greenwald Sunday Feb. 1, 2009 08:23 EST The Daschles: feeding at the Beltway trough (updated below - Update II) When Barack Obama announced in early December that he had selected Tom Daschle to be his Secretary of Health and Human Services as well as his "health care policy czar," Rolling Stone's Matt Taibbi -- who had spent several months studying the inner workings of the 2006 Congress in order to profile its limitless corruption -- wrote the following reaction on his blog: I know several reporters who are either officially or unofficially on "Whore Factor" duty, watching the rapidly...

posted at 11:37 am on January 30, 2009 by Ed Morrissey Rep. Michele Bachmann explains to her Minnesota constituents about the historical failures of massive government spending, asking why the Obama administration wants to party like it’s 1929. She points out that both Herbert Hoover and FDR tried the same kind of so-called “stimulus” spending and it led to unprecedented debt and government bureaucracy. Even FDR’s Treasury Secretary admitted it was a failure: The stock market collapse of 1929 brought a crashing halt to the Roaring Twenties. But President Herbert Hoover’s response to the economic crisis ensured that it became...

ScienceDaily (Jan. 1, 2009) — New interpretations of fossils have revealed an ancient missing link between today’s spiders and their long-extinct ancestors. The research by scientists at the University of Kansas and Virginia’s Hampden-Sydney College may help explain how spiders came to weave webs.
