STRATFOR’s article on a French physicist and his astronomer brother giving financial aid to terrorists in North Africa and their own country should send shivers up the spines... Click on the image below:

Last week, an archived article from the Sunday, June 27, 2004 edition of the East African Standard headlined: “Kenyan-born Obama all set for US Senate” was unearthed. The article began, “Kenyan-born US Senate hopeful, Barack Obama, appeared set to take over the Illinois Senate seat after his main rival, Jack Ryan, dropped out of the race on Friday night amid a furor over lurid sex club allegations.” The uncovering of this archive went viral on the Internet and could be found on blogs from coast to coast. Another archived article surfaced last week from the Nov. 4, 2008 edition of...

Ever have a liberal tell you, "Oh, yeah? How come when Bush & Co. were spending like crazy, conservatives never complained?" Well, here you go. A graphic explanation of just how much and how fast Obama is spending YOUR/YOUR CHILDREN'S/THEIR CHILDREN'S taxpayer dollars compared to the past 100 years or so of spending by previous administrations. :-)

SNIPPET: "Press accounts like this suggest that Wednesday's Canadian court decision ending the government's terror case against Adil Charkaoui constituted vindication for an innocent man. But the court victory for Charkaoui, accused of being part of an Al Qaeda "sleeper cell," raises more questions than it answers."

This video is a bombshell. I have to tip my hat to John Ziegler, who called out conservative has-been American Conservative Union (CPAC) president, David Keene, on his abandonment of conservative principles. It is a beautiful thing -- honest journalism. This is the same David Keene who caved to Grover Norquist's pressure instead of having Geert Wilders speak at CPAC last year -- despite freedom of speech being the bedrock of conservative principles. Keene is tight with Islamist Grover Norquist, which is why Islamic supremacism is never discussed at CPAC anymore. Yes, the head of the conservative movement is a...

Note: White Jihadi. # SNIPPET: "The NEFA Foundation has obtained a new video from the Islamic Jihad Union (IJU) showing a group of alleged German nationals receiving instruction at an IJU terrorist training camp in northwest Pakistan. The video also includes footage of a balding Caucasian male identified as a U.S. national fighting alongside the IJU, "Abu Ibrahim al-Amriki."

SNIPPET: "After the 4 July DDoS attacks, wrongly attributed to North Korea, it’s wise to treat reports of DPRK security hacks with some caution. Nevertheless, The Korea Times reports the following: Classified Info on Dangerous Chemicals Hacked Hackers stole classified information on dangerous chemicals in their raid on the South Korean army computer network in what was believed to be an attack by North Korea, Yonhap News Agency reported Saturday, quoting government officials."

I was checking my Twitter account today (@davidioxley) when I saw that the FBI Press Office (@FBIPressOffice) had just posted a lengthy series of tweets concerning wanted fugitives. Among these were terrorists, pimps, drug kingpins, and your regular run-of-the-mill scum of the earth. Alas, no one looked familiar. Guess I’m going to have to work for that $1,000,000 instead… What caught my attention, however, were three tweets that began with the words “Cyber Criminals.” Currently there are four cyber criminals profiled on the FBI site. It’s not quite “America’s Most Wanted,” but here’s our lineup (in alphabetical order). All pictures...

for example, from his rant against big bottled water: "... the huge soda companies decided to sell you bottled water which is from the same source as tap water, but guess what? when you sell it as natural and in a bottle, it's unregulated. at least tap water is regulated." this from a guy who is currently fined up to his eye balls as a result of pimping unregulated natural supplements for every disease imagineable, while blasting regulated big pharma. shameless.

Florida Bill Says: October 15, 2009 at 7:04 PM Just a coincidence? July 2004: Obama makes keynote speech at the Democratic convention and is hailed as the future of the party. October 2004: Congressman Barney Frank [D-MA] speaks as a witness to the Senate Judiciary Committee about his belief that the people of the United States should be able to elect a president of their choosing, even if that candidate is not a natural-born citizen. In these comments, Frank all but names Obama and describes our current situation to the letter. Here is the audio clip of his remarks. BARNEY...

I know Dart is extending light rail to D/FW Airport. Which is going to be great. Still, I can't help but wish Dallas would be on the cutting edge of something like this. Why aren't we building a high-speed airport train? We've talked about state-wide high-speed rail, but what about local high-speed train? How cool would it be to have a bullet train that goes from downtown Dallas to downtown Ft. Worth at over 125 mph? I'd take it. Comments Posted by Jeffrey J. Brown @ 7:58 AM Fri, Oct 16, 2009 This past weekend, at a conference in Denver,...

For many people choosing what to wear in the morning is not a chore but an art form, where inspiration is turned into reality and a wearable outfit. Putting together the right outfit is also great fun, my favourite part is getting the inspiration. There are so many places that you can get ideas for what to wear including nature, historical dress, architecture and cultural themes. I also love to get ideas from what other people are wearing including celebrities and normal everyday people then combining these ideas to create my own unique style. Here are some of my favourite...

Nobel economists’ work on common ownership shows that markets, not distant governments, manage things better. For the first time, the Nobel economics prize has gone to a woman, Elinor Ostrom of Indiana University. She shares it with colleague Oliver Williamson. One of the things the pair studied, for example, was the case of the Maine lobster fishing families, who brought in their own system of tradeable quotas. It meant that market principles were brought to bear on the exploitation – and protection – of this natural resource. Iceland’s trawler industry also derived great benefit from the system of individual transferable...

The Tax Preparation Industry Allie Winegar Duzett, October 15, 2009 Can you believe that it can cost you more to pay your taxes than you actually pay in taxes? “Last year, Americans spent more than $250 billion on tax preparation,” Ed Morrissey of HotAir.com told the audience at the Americans for Prosperity (AFP) summit on Defending the American Dream, held on October 3, 2009. “It costs us twice as much to comply with the tax code as it costs us in taxes, total,” Morrissey asserted, illustrating his point that our current tax system is “ridiculous.” “Ironically, what prompted our Founding...

SNIPPET: "Dalia Mogahed, a member of President Obama's Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, joined a representative of Hizb ut-Tahrir (HT) for a television interview in Great Britain on Sunday.

GMBDR described the program as "a show presented by members of Hizb ut-Tahrir" featuring Nawaz "in her capacity as spokesperson" for the group.

"If an object is a polygon then it is a triangle (false)."You can’t solve a problem until it has been defined. The Federal government, once again, has failed to define the problem. Being led by the novice, Nobel Prize Winning, Barack Obama, the Congress has become another hostage on the road to Socialism.

Nearly 100 City of Miami employees made more than $200,000 last year Miami had only recently shed its notorious distinction as the nation’s poorest municipality, thanks to the buoying effects of the real estate boom, just in time to get clobbered by the nationwide recession/depression rooted in the collapse of that very boom. Now the good times are over, and the city faces declining revenues across the board... In calendar year 2008, a total of 97 city employees received more than $200,000 in compensation, costing taxpayers more than $22.76 million, according to documents prepared by the city’s budget office and...

9.8 Percent and Rising by: Sarah Carlsruh, October 13, 2009 The House Republican Policy Committee invited top economists to its Summit on the Economy and Unemployment on September 30th to address the question on so many Americans minds: What went wrong with the economy? Representative Mike Pence (R-IN), House Republican Conference Chairman and co-sponsor of the summit with Rep. Thaddeus McCotter (R-MI), addressed the disconnect between “the priorities here in D.C. and the priorities of the American people,” such as the gulf between what politicians say about the stimulus bill and its actual performance. “Apart from our national defense,” stated...
