Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski , running for re-election as a write-in candidate, said Wednesday during a debate that she would not support Sarah Palin (R) for president if the former Alaska governor and 2008 vice presidential nominee launched a White House bid in 2012, according to the Associated Press. Murkowski and Palin have had a rocky relationship for many years. In 2006, Palin ousted Murkowski’s father and then-Gov. Frank Murkowski in a GOP gubernatorial primary. Sen. Murkowski was appointed to the Senate by her father after he left Capitol Hill to serve as his state’s chief executive. The animosity between...

*** The Palin question: In that three-way Alaska Senate race, NBC’s Savannah Guthrie noted on “TODAY” that the candidates were asked in their debate last night if Sarah Palin was qualified to be president. Here’s how Scott McAdams (D) answered the question: "In a strict sense she is, she isn't somebody whose ideology I support and agree with.” Here’s Joe Miller (R): “Of course she is. I mean, you look at who we have in office right now and compare the two, there is no comparison." (That is a much stronger answer from Miller than we’ve seen previously, and Palin...

(Oct. 26, 2010) — The evidence is all there for anyone to see if they take the time to look. Zbigniew Brzezinski has “spoon-fed” Obama ever since he took him under his wing from Occidental College in 1980, apprenticed him through his first job in Pakistan and Afghanistan to his second job at Business International Corp. and ultimately, by manufacturing a background, faking his academic credentials and resume’, to the top job in America.

Nestor Kirchner, the former president of Argentina and husband of the country's current leader, has died of a heart attack at the age of 60. A Peronist, he was a member of Argentina's congress and was secretary-general of the Union of South American Nations at the time of his death.

1. Stewart Saul Alinsky tactic? 2. Don't question Stewart's moderate credentials. Honestly, though I think some American's will be offended about the cynical deceit in attempting to claim the moderate moniker when in reality all you have are a bunch of queers and commies at some pot rally, no? Also, see http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2010/10/john_stewarts_sanity_rally_to.html

Zubi Diamond is the author of a book entitled "Wizards of Wall Street". The book is about the crash of the U. S.stock market and certain money markets around the world and who is responsible for this.

National Review Online had an email exchange with NPR regarding the sacking of Juan Williams. Asked what exactly Williams said that NPR deemed inappropriate, Anna Christopher, NPR's senior manager of media relations, wrote: "We aren't going to get into a back and forth over semantics. The comment violated our ethics guidelines, and offended many in doing so" (emphasis added). UPDATE: Vivian Schiller, the CEO of NPR, told an audience at the Atlanta Press Club that Williams should have kept his opinions between himself and "his psychiatrist or publicist."

New Deal Fellow Travellers On the question of Communist support of Franklin D. Roosevelt, let us look at some of their fellow travellers supporting the President officially in Washington. If Mr. Roosevelt doesn't want their support why doesn't he fire them? Here are a few: Rexford Tugwell, Governor of Puerto Rico: "Business will logically be required to disappear." This was in 1932 and Tugwell is still on the payroll. Adolf Berle, Assistant Secretary of State. Berle says: "Over a period of years the government will gradually come to own most of the production plants in the United States." Does that...

Chilean Miners Return For Emotional Service (Copiapo, Chile) -- Thirteen of 33 rescued men returned yesterday to the Chilean mine where they were trapped for more than two months. The men took part in a service, led by Roman Catholic and Protestant clergy, at "Camp Hope." That's the tent city adjacent to the mine where friends and family gathered in hopes that the men would be rescued. Though the service was closed to the press, participants were heard clapping loudly and singing Chile's national anthem. Meanwhile, the rescued miners are so far honoring a pact of silence about the horrors...

Speculation about Hillary Clinton's continued presidential ambitions is rife. Husband Bill is back on the campaign trail, offering thanks to those who backed her in 2008 – and laying the foundations for another try http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/8068167/Bill-Clinton-back-out-campaigning-for-everybody-that-helped-Hillary-run-for-president-against-Obama.html

As US officials proclaim an alleged European terror plot still active, New York City police conducted a drill Thursday that simulated a Mumbai-style attack on civilians on a crowded street in Manhattan's financial district. Police Commissioner Ray Kelly addressed the media before the drill, which began with two large explosions. "This is what we do," he explained. "We think the unthinkable." The drill simulated multiple bombs and shooters, including a bomb under a vehicle, and police responded with helicopters, dogs, automatic weapons and an armored car. Earlier Thursday, the State Department's counterterror chief told reports in London that the travel...

Beck just showed a schematic of the device (owned by Freddie Mack) that will remotely control when and how much electricity you will be allowed to use in your home. All your (new, mandated) outlets will be monitored and if Obama disapproves of your electrical use, that outlet will be shut-down remotely. This is likely to be before Congress after the November elections but before the current congress ends. All part of Crap and Tirade.

Just heard this on Fox News from Chris Wallace What sublime arrogance. He will only sit in for 15 minutes. He is so stupid he doesn't want to demonstrate this during any conversation? Does Obama want to be out of the room when the threats are made about contributing billions into the escrow fund

Signs of what could be a previously unknown ancient civilisation are emerging from beneath the felled trees of the Amazon. Some 260 giant avenues, ditches and enclosures have been spotted from the air in a region straddling Brazil’s border with Bolivia. The traditional view is that before the arrival of the Spanish and Portuguese in the 15th century there were no complex societies in the Amazon basin – in contrast to the Andes further west where the Incas built their cities. Now deforestation, increased air travel and google Earth are telling a different story. “It’s never-ending,” says Denise Schaan of...

Sorry. I just had to stop a moment and look outside to see if a flock of pigs was flying by. MSNBC is giving Obama both barrels. The usually loathsome Olbermann and the tingly Chris Matthews are tearing into Obama as if he were George W. Bush. They are furious and amazed at tonight's Obama lie fest on the Gulf oil spill. They usually lap-up like poodles Obama's lies, bullying, and incompetence. Not tonight. They are damning him for being completely useless in both stopping the spill and communicating to the public about it. They are all over him for...

Here is the alleged source. We need an interpreter for the arabic language http://www.livewtv.com/arabic_channel/niletv.htm It appears to be streaming to me but maybe it is a recording of Gheit stating that Obama confirms that he is a muslim. The claim is that Obama told Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit, confidentially that he is a Muslim.

I don't think the Free Press allows their articles to be posted to FR, but the gist of the article, published on- line 45 min. ago, states that "Izzo’s stay-or-go decision likely hinges on what he thinks — or is told — James is going to do next month, when free agency begins".

Our government and it's insane land management policies are a major factor in the mess on our border. It is time to secure our borders. Check out these videos on border issues.

I know Rachel Maddow isn't a popular character on FR, but her video kind of nails it on the head as to the BP response so far. Comical, yet realistic. I don't believe I should put the following in the source url, so it's here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/37628628#37628628
