With thirty-two years of history behind them, the Dundee Senior Citizens organization has announced that it will disband effective Wednesday, November 14, 2012.
The Dundee Senior Citizens organization began on June 17 of 1980. Their first meeting was held in the basement of the First Lutheran Church in Dundee. They elected officers and the results were that Francis Knott became the organization's first president. Vice-president was Edna Johnson and Raymond F. Nelson was elected as secretary and treasurer.
On October 15, 1980, the Dundee Senior Citizens organization took possession of the Dundee Hotel, which they had paid $5,000 for. The letter from seller Gladis Schmidt to the Dundee Senior Citizens Organization stated, "I hope you will have as many good times in the old Dundee Hotel as we have had in the many years my family lived here."
Preserving the Dundee House Hotel, which was constructed in approximately 1890, was a top priority for the Dundee Senior Citizens. They insulated the building, put in handicapped accessible bathrooms, and braced the floors by installing beams in the basement. They had agreed that they would leave the building as close o original as possible.
According to current Dundee Senior Citizen's president, Betty Norton, their building was used for elections, family reunions, social functions and Dundee Nothing Days.
One time per month the Dundee Senior Citizens would gather for a meeting which was always began by reciting The Pledge of Allegiance. It was also always accompanied with a cup of hot coffee, and time of warm fellowship, and great conversation.
Another day each month was set aside just for the fun of playing cards and socializing together.
The Dundee Senior Citizens usually held two fundraisers each year which included their much looked forward toannual breakfast and lunch during the Dundee Citywide Rummage Sale.
When asked why the group made the decision to disband, President Norton, said, "We are disbanding because we have so few members. With the City of Dundee putting in a new sewer in 2013, the members were not going to be able to afford the monthly bills at the Senior Center. It was time for someone else to have the use of the building and enjoy it like the Dundee Senior Citizens have."
As the era of the Dundee Senior Citizens comes to an end, they leave behind a legacy of supporting the community and one another.
They chose to honor the thirty-two years of their existence by placing a commemorative rock in Dundee City Park. "The rock came from Nelson Landscaping. We had Worthington Monument Company engrave the rock," Norton stated.
The Dundee Senior Citizens have been a valuable organization within the City of Dundee. There are many fond memories of times spent together and a deep appreciation of their volunteerism and all they have done.

Has your Twitter and Facebook been flooded with more geekery than usual? There's a good reason for that San Diego Comic-Con officially kicked off today, and as usual studios are here showing off their latest and greatest. One of the big events taking place this weekend will of course be the Warner Bros. show, although they've been keeping mum on exactly what they'll offer. While the new Bat-suit has been spotted on the show floor, Warner Bros. has gone ahead and released this brand new image of Ben Affleck as Batman, in celebration of the character's 75th anniversary.
Confirmed by photographer Clay Enos as his photo, it's an image that should have fans eager for more. Perhaps similar photos of Henry Cavill as Superman? Or Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman? Between this and the earlier image of Bat-fleck we've seen this movie is looking more and more dour. Hopefully Zack Snyder finds a way to have some fun with it, too, as the dark tone was a complaint many had with Man of Steel. Going the grim 'n gritty route worked for Christopher Nolan but Warner Bros. may want to pay attention to what Marvel has accomplished by doing the opposite.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice also stars Jesse Eisenberg, Amy Adams, Jeremy Irons, Diane Lane, Holly Hunter, and Laurence Fishburne. It opens May 6th 2016, when it will go up against Captain America 3 in the Marvel/DC showdown nobody was ever expecting to see. Both studios have sworn not to budge from the release date.

Oct. 24, 2011
SEATTLE - The Washington baseball team's class of incoming players for the 2012 seasons has drawn recognition from several of the country's national publications as both Baseball America and Collegiate Baseball ranked it among the best in the west.
The class, which initially included a total of 21 signees, was ranked No. 33 in the nation.
Baseball America praised the group as one of the tops in West, noting that the UW "brought in its best class in years, headlined by 12th-round pick Trevor Mitsui."
Mitsui, a first baseman from Shorewood High School, is one of four incoming players who were selected in last June's Major League Draft who enrolled at the UW this fall. Joining him are pitcher George Asmus, pitcher Jared Fisher and infielder Erik Forgione.
The Huskies, under third-year head coach Lindsay Meggs, closed out their 2011 fall practice season last week and now look forward to the start of the 2012 season, which gets underway with a three-game series at San Diego State Feb. 17-19.

WESTFIELD TWP. — Two women arrested Monday afternoon for allegedly transporting 20 pounds of marijuana worth more than $45,000 on Interstate 71, remained in the Medina County Jail on Tuesday, according to the Ohio Highway Patrol.
At 1:21 p.m. Monday, a trooper stopped a 2011 Ford Fusion driven by Rachel Cuevas, 38, of Glendale, Ariz., following a lane violation on I-71 north near milepost 207, said Lt. Bill Haymaker of the patrol's Medina post.
The trooper who made the stop had a drug-sniffing K-9 with him, and the dog alerted to possible drugs in the car, Haymaker said.
Cuevas and her passenger, Carole Solomon, 26, of Cleveland, were charged with possession of marijuana, a third-degree felony, according to the patrol. If convicted, each could receive up to five years in prison.
A jail spokesman said Cuevas' bond was $80,000, and Solomon was being held on a $60,000 bond.
The incident remains under investigation, Haymaker said.

Using video to promote your products during the holiday season is one of the most effective ways to connect with your customers. If you are a small or independent retailer, you probably don't have the budget to create a professional video or to run an ad campaign on local TV or radio. However, don't let that deter you. Below you'll find five examples of gift guide videos that work and that can be easily replicated by a non-professional. Sharing your gift guide videos on Facebook, Twitter, your blog and on your online store not only gives your customers welcome gift ideas, more importantly, it actually works – retail sites with video increase conversion by 30% and boosts the average ticket by 13%. (L2 Specialty Retail Report, September 2010).
Example 1 – Luxury Gifts Guides
The Kate Spade Gift Guide is a perfect example of a quick gift guide video – it is short (less that two and half minutes), it is easy to replicate (the set is a simple office background with good lighting), and using two members of the Kate Spade team helps make the presentation more natural – they are just having a conversation. They have split the guides into gifts for women and men and then in each video given ideas for Moms / sisters / friends etc.
Duchamp London also have a great quick and informative Gift Guide video and what is worth noting is that as they are selling luxury (insert expensive!) gifts, they concentrate on the presents at the more affordable end of the scale – ties, scarves, cufflinks and socks.
Example 2 – Create a Series of Videos
ModCloth is an online retailer specializing in retro and vintage clothes and accessories. For their Christmas campaign, they got different members of staff to pick out items that they would love to give or receive. What's great about this campaign is that a different video can be featured each week and potential customers get to see the wide range of products they carry.
This is a really easy video to replicate – the set is simply a wooden desk against a white background. All you'd need to replicate this is a camera, a cheap tripod and a mic.
Example 3 – Videos for the Enthusiast
If you are a retailer for that caters for enthusiasts of some form or another, you need to make it easy for their friends and family to choose gifts for them. They may know that their loved one adores cooking, painting, DIY etc. but if they don't share the same interests, they have no real idea of what products are out there. Having a quick gift guide video – three minutes or less – you can show five to six great gift ideas at different price ranges really quickly and easily.
These videos from America's Test Kitchen and iFixit are two great examples:
Again, each of these videos could be easily replicated by a non-professional. In the case of iFixit, it is a simple video cut with photos of the products mentioned and this can be achieved in most video editing applications. One thing however that would make these videos even better, would be to have the name of the products appear as subtitles underneath, making it easier for people to search for them afterwards.
Example 4 – Tell your Story
If you are selling a product that is synonymous with Christmas gifts – wine, hampers, socks! – you need to make your products seem unique and help them stand out from the crowd. A great way to do this is to tell the story behind the product. Not only does this personalize your products, but it also allows the gift giver something to talk about when they present it – this isn't any bottle of wine or any basket of cheese! The two videos below are great examples of this and are the perfect videos to share on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and on your online store. You could even have a version playing in your physical store beside a display throughout the holiday season.
Example 5 – Give Inspiration
If you are selling Christmas decorations and accessories, how do you get your wares to stand out in this super competitive market? Land of Nod had the ingenious idea of commissioning blogger Joy Deangdeelert Cho to decorate a home Christmas tree and video the process. On their site, you can watch the video and they have listed all the products used underneath so you can purchase them there and then. Seeing the products used in context and in such a fun and colorful way, definitely makes them more attractive to the consumer.
What is great about this video, it is super easy to replicate for any retailer. There is no voiceover and they simply filmed the decorating of the tree from various angles to keep the pace of the video upbeat and fun. There are tons of royalty-free Christmas tracks out there which cost less than $20, so you don't have the expense of a soundtrack.
Once you are ready to make your video there are tons of tutorials and blogs to help you with the technical issues of recording your video, improving the lighting and sound, editing the final result and of course sharing it with your customers. You'll notice all the featured videos above had a few things in common – firstly they are short, most come in at under 2 minutes. Secondly they are simple. They have one or two presenters showing gifts in a relaxed setting. Thirdly the sets are basic, something you could definitely replicate in your store or office. They were lit well, so remember to use all the lights you have to hand. Finally they made the products look attractive and would hopefully entice potential customers to part with their hard-earned cash.
Making a gift guide video may initially seem intimidating, but once you break it down, you can see that it is a really achievable goal and something that could set you apart from your competitors this Holiday Season!

In regards to Herman Cain and the accusations against him.
It's this: (Via Alhouse)
20 years later and it is the same song and dance —- except for one thing, it is coming from right and not the left, as it is being reported in some quarters.
In regards to Herman Cain and the accusations against him.
It's this: (Via Alhouse)
20 years later and it is the same song and dance —- except for one thing, it is coming from right and not the left, as it is being reported in some quarters.
I really hate to write stuff like this, because I happen to enjoy WorldNetDaily. I enjoy WorldNetDaily, because there are times, when WorldNetDaily reports things that are not carried by other Conservative and mainstream media outlets. Although, I will admit, I am not that big of a fan of Joseph Farah, as he does still beat that drum of the Obama birth certificate. Furthermore, I have had correspondence with Mr. Farah and felt his attitude displayed in his e-mail to me, to be quite unbecoming of someone who is a born-again Christian and someone who is a reader and student of the Holy Scriptures.
This comes via the Lady herself:
For those of you who do not like the idea of posting what Pamela has to say; I have two things to say —- first, as Herman Cain would say, "I does not care." Also, I would say to those who would have a problem with me posting this video, I would politely ask you to go see Helen Waite and ask for directions.
God Bless America.
I will be the very first to confess that there are issues in politics that I very high disagree with Patrick J. Buchanan on. However, Mr. Buchanan does have a good idea of what Conservatism should be about; having said that, let me personally recommend this article here by Patrick Buchanan. Again, I have disagreed with the man, at times; but this is not one of them.
This article ought to be in the e-mail inbox of every darned last Conservative in America this morning.
This ought to be a lesson to every last Democrat who voted for Obama and Biden.
The Video:
The Story:
With the approval of the Obama administration, an electric car company that received a $529 million federal government loan guarantee is assembling its first line of cars in Finland, saying it could not find a facility in the United States capable of doing the work.
Vice President Joseph Biden heralded the Energy Department's $529 million loan to the start-up electric car company called Fisker as a bright new path to thousands of American manufacturing jobs. But two years after the loan was announced, the job of assembling the flashy electric Fisker Karma sports car has been outsourced to Finland.
"There was no contract manufacturer in the U.S. that could actually produce our vehicle," the car company's founder and namesake told ABC News. "They don't exist here."
Henrik Fisker said the U.S. money so far has been spent on engineering and design work that stayed in the U.S., not on the 500 manufacturing jobs that went to a rural Finnish firm, Valmet Automotive.
"We're not in the business of failing; we're in the business of winning. So we make the right decision for the business," Fisker said. "That's why we went to Finland."
via Car Company Gets U.S. Loan, Builds Cars In Finland – ABC News.
Here is the real-world translation to that last line in that story; we did not want to have to deal with the labor unions in this United States, so we moved our manufacturing overseas.
Take note my Democratic Party friends who happen to read this blog, all two of you. This is what happens to the Democrats and their union counterparts, when they elect internationalist Democrats, who really do not give a care about what happens to American workers. Internationalist Democrats and their Republican counterparts, the globalists — like Richard Nixon, who do not care about American workers, they are corporatists, who support crony capitalism.
This right here is a perfect example of why the relations between the Democratic Party and the labor unions are frosty at best. That is because the Democratic Party for the last few instances that they have won elections, have been putting internationalist Democrats into the White House. This type of a Democrat talks a nice game, and puts out platitudes to the American autoworkers and their representatives in the unions; but when the "Rubber hits the road" so to speak, things change. They begin showing their true colors and start doing things to kick dirt in the face of the American worker.
I do not write this as a Conservative mocking the left, goodness no. I write this as someone who has a father, who is a retired General Motors worker, who is a member of the UAW. If anyone would know how the Democratic Party has treated the American autoworker in the last 30 years, it would be me. There was a time in this Country, when the Democratic Party used to respect the American autoworker and would literally step in front a train to defend them. Sadly, that time has passed, as the unions have lost their influence amongst the Democratic Party.
The loss of that influence in the Democratic Party is partially due to the actions of the internationalist Democrats, like Bill Clinton, who signed into law NAFTA and TAFTA. Some of that loss of influence is also due to the declining membership roles within the UAW and other said unions. Either way, it is sad transition in America, when our politicians in Washington D.C. put interests abroad before interests here at home.
Some of my readers, all three of you, might be shocked to see that I do not take a more mocking tone on stories like this and here is why I do not; Pat Buchanan said it best once, on one issue that I actually agree with him on — the American worker. Pat once said, "As goes Detroit, goes the Nation," and you know what? Pat Buchanan is right about that, the United States of America used to be a manufacturing marvel. We produced everything ourselves, and other Countries used to come here to see how we did it all. Sadly, those times have come and gone, due to many reasons, a list of which is longer than the length of this blog entry will permit.
What is solution you ask, I know what it is; but most of the people who will come here to read, will not agree with it. However, I will give the solution. Firstly, the solution is NOT to bust up the unions, as they have as much right to proper representation, as the company owners have a right to make a profit. The solution to the problem is to get rid of these idiotic so-called "Free Trade" agreements. Secondly, the solution is to impose strict tariffs on EVERYTHING and I do mean everything that is manufactured overseas and imported into our Country.
These actions would do a couple of things; firstly it would protect the American workers from the globalists who want to undercut the American worker to make a quick dollar on the backs of cheap sweatshop labor in foreign countries like China. Secondly, it would solve our Nation's revenue problem by creating a reliable source of income; one of which we did have in this Country for a very long time, before the globalists ripped it out, in favor of trade agreements.
Further, the solution is in whom we elect; Republicans and Democrats alike need to elect those who put America's interests first, and not the interests who those abroad. To be fair, Republicans have done this too in this past and we as Americans need to watch what these new crop of Republicans really represent; do they represent the interests of the crony capitalists or do they have the American people's interests in mind? Supposedly, the Tea Party movement brought some of this "America First" type of populism to the Conservative movement, but as of late, it seems that the Tea Party was nothing more than a passing fad. I just hope the people, who went to these protests, use the principles that were promoted at the Tea Party rallies, at the ballot box come November 2012.

First off, here is the video:
View more videos at: http://nbcwashington.com.
The story via NBC Washington:
A trial is set to begin Monday for a Montgomery County teacher, accused of punching and choking several of her first grade students.
Susan Burke, 36, was arrested in February, after nine of her first grade students at Greencastle Elementary School claimed they were abused. According to investigators, Burke allegedly choked, kicked, punched and scratched children in her class.
Montgomery County police learned of one incident on Jan. 7, when a Greencastle Elementary School student complained of being physically assaulted on several occasions.
Police interviewed all of the students in Burke's class, and their investigation revealed eight more victims, all ages 6 or 7, police said. In addition to being choked, some students also reported being kicked, punched, scratched or squeezed on the arms, police said. Additional students reported witnessing the attacks, police said.
Burke was also charged in an alleged March 2010 assault of a student as a result of this investigation, police said. The incidents allegedly took place on school property and during school hours.
I hate to be the one to do this; but something about this story smells fishy. For one, nowhere in that report does it say that any of the children came home with bruises or anything of the sort on them. For all we know, these black kids decided that they did not like their teacher and decided to tell their parents that the teacher was hurting them. Believe me when I tell you; I know kids can be, and it is a common thing nowadays, for students to level false accusations against a teacher, if they do not like them.
In fact, locally here, in one of the public schools in one of the cites around here — a teacher, who had been with the school system for over 30 years, was accused of rape. The student was a Latino girl, who did not like the fact that she was getting too much homework from this teacher. So, she devised a plan. She was a minority, she was a girl and she was going do this teacher in. She accused him of rape. Well, he was suspended and there was an investigation, that lasted for over 2 years. Finally, the teacher was cleared of the charges and the girl put on trial for making such a big false accusation like that. During the trial, when asked about why she would do such a thing, her reply was, "Revenge." She went on to say that because she was a Latino and a female, she figured they would just convict him and remove him from the school.
I am quite happy to report that the man accused, ended up not only suing the school; but also the girl's family, the school district, and also La Raza, who was providing the attorney pro-Bono and boasted to the media that they would "bring down this oppressive white man." The defendants tried to get the man to settle for a very small amount and basically, he laughed in their faces and rejected the settlement; he went on to win the case for millions. He promptly sold his house and left the State. He now lives very well, I am told.
The point I am making is this; why are these school officials just believing what these silly kids are saying? Why? Because they are black and she is white? I also got a kick out of how the woman was made out to be the evil oppressive white woman, who was picking on those poor little innocent black children! (yes, that is sarcasm…)
If the truth be known in this case; these kids were most likely a bunch of spoiled brats and most likely made this woman's life a living hell and they most likely deserved the little smacks that they got from this woman. But, because we live in society that treats white on black "Crime" differently than actual black on white crime. This woman will most likely lose her career; because a group of minority students decided that they did not like Mrs. "Whitey Teacher" no more and with the help of Mommy and Daddy, figured out a way to get rid of her, for good.
It happens every day in America.
Update: Cross-posted at Alexandria
Alex Cortes makes a good case for it.
While most of the Republican presidential candidates have criticized President Obama about his waste of taxpayer money on the politically connected and now bankrupt energy company Solyndra, Rick Perry has remained silent. Why? Perhaps because he may soon have his very own Solyndra.
As governor, Perry created the Texas Emerging Technology Fund, which has doled out, at his discretion, nearly $200 million to 133 businesses. More than $16 million from the fund has gone to firms with officers or investors who were major Perry contributors.
One such firm is Convergen, which has developed a lung-cancer treatment that is under Phase II clinical trial. The company was successful in getting Texas taxpayers to put up $4.5 million through Perry's fund, despite founder David Nance's investing a measly $1,000. Did Nance's $335,000 to Perry's campaigns, association fundraisers, and TexasOne Foundation have anything to do with it?
It likely did, given that Convergen's proposal failed the regional review process meant to extricate political influence — and was later approved by a state advisory panel that Nance formerly sat on. The amount awarded also happened to be highest amount ever from the fund. Perry and his team know that Convergen may soon look a lot like Solyndra, since only 33 percent of successful Phase II drugs make it to the market.
But this is not an assault on Governor Perry in particular: He is far from alone among his Republican gubernatorial colleagues in advancing corporatist policies.
For example, Virginia governor Bob McDonnell, who's been mentioned as a potential vice presidential running mate for Perry, has also fallen to corporatism in a variety of ways. McDonnell succeeded in getting his state's general assembly to increase funding for the Governor's Opportunity Fund, a $54 million pot from which he can give grants to corporations that create jobs in the commonwealth. He has also created special tax incentives for the wine and film industries and provided the International Speedway Corporation a $1.5 million grant to keep one of its NASCAR races in the state.
via Conservatives and Corporatism – Alex Cortes – National Review Online.
I see his point; the Republicans and Conservatives are going ballyhoo Obama for his green energy debacle, they should be prepared to answer for some of their own misdeeds. Contrary to what some of the Bloggers on the right like to print, corruption and political favors are common on both sides. This needs to end, the era of backroom deals and favors, in this day of so-called transparency needs to end.
In other words; if we are going to point the accusing finger at the other side, we should clean the trash up in our own backyards.
It is a question that all Conservative, Republican and Tea Party voters need to know.
The Video of the Interview:
The Story via WorldNetDaily.com:
The daughter of a Mormon bishop who has abandoned her family's faith claims in a new book the election of Mitt Romney to the presidency would put the U.S. in danger due to what she calls the Republican's "outrageous," "horrific" and "mind-controlling" beliefs.
"While he attempts to portray Mormonism as just another Christian religion, Mitt Romney counts on his skills to shift our attention away from what he truly believes," says Tricia Erickson, author of "Can Mitt Romney Serve Two Masters? The Mormon Church Versus the Office of the Presidency of the United States of America."
"If the American people knew what he truly believed, they would surely not place him in the highest office in the land."
Yet others, such as professor Richard Bushman, a Mormon and previous missionary himself who has taught at Harvard, Columbia and Brown Universities, are defending the faith. He calls Erickson "disillusioned" and someone who "instead of walking away felt an obligation to discredit [her] former faith."
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the official name for Mormonism, has rocketed into the national consciousness this month since Rev. Robert Jeffress, a Rick Perry supporter who pastors the First Baptist Church of Dallas, Texas, said Romney was "not a Christian" and that Mormonism is a "cult."
"Part of a pastor's job is to warn his people and others about false religions," Jeffress said Sunday, standing by his controversial remarks. "Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and Mormonism are all false religions."
In her book, Erickson paints an unflattering picture of the Mormon faith, which counts not only the former Massachusetts governor as a member, but also fellow GOP presidential contender Jon Huntsman, Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., radio talk-show host Glenn Beck, singer Gladys Knight, actresses Amy Adams and Katherine Heigl, "Napoleon Dynamite" actor Jon Heder, entertainers Donny and Marie Osmond, and sports stars including the NFL's Steve Young, Danny White and Merlin Olsen.
Erickson goes on to expose the insane beliefs of the Mormons and tell about her horrifying experience in that cult:
Erickson says Romney believes:
He will become a "god" in the afterlife and be given his own planet
Satan is Jesus' literal brother
Jesus was not born of a virgin birth
He will be given his own afterlife kingdom where he will have sexual relations with his wife, Ann, to populate his kingdom with spirit children as God the Father Himself has a wife on His own planet.
"Mormonism teaches we pre-existed on God the Father's planet as spirit children before we were planted in our mother's wombs," Erickson told WND. "And the reason why we're here according to Mormonism, is so that we can work out our own progression to godhood and our own planets themselves."
The author, who herself was married in a Mormon temple at age 19 but now considers herself a non-denominational Christian, says there's a secret agenda Mormon officials don't like to talk about publicly.
"A complete takeover of the government," she said. "They have more people in the CIA, the FBI. They have an employment office for Mormons in D.C. to be able to infiltrate them into the government."
"They've been trying since the beginning to get someone in the presidency, because they believe they have to establish their authority so when Jesus comes to Earth, the Mormon Church will take control of the government and the Mormons will be the government of God on Earth," she continued.
Erickson says her main concern is that the leader of the free world have the ability to discern fact from fiction.
"It may be crucial to our survival," she said. "If his beliefs are distorted, which they unequivocally are, why would it not be be critical to our existence to protect our country from being placed in the hands of such a person?"
When asked for specific rituals she considers bizarre, Erickson claims Romney and other Mormons take part in clandestine marriage ceremonies involving "outrageous" customs. Explaining her own Mormon wedding, she says she was forced to completely disrobe against her will.
"It was horrific," she told WND. "There I was standing naked. They brought this bowl of water, and started washing my body down and whispering prayers over my body. They stopped over the right and left breast, the navel and knees and prayed specific prayers."
To help ensure the general public did not learn details of the rituals, she says believers took a symbolic knife to feign their own murder if members spilled the beans of what really goes on behind closed doors.
"They actually had us slashing our guts open and our guts falling to the ground if we told people of the secret dogma of the ceremonies," Erickson said.
"Mitt is not a casual Mormon," she told online interviewer Thom Hartmann, noting Romney has reached the upper echelons of the faith. "There is no way that he will be able to not listen to the [Mormon] prophet. His eternal salvation depends on it. He has to put the church first over country."
Here is a video that also shows what Mormon's truly believe:
As much as I would like to say that this is the first time that I have heard this; it is not, this young lady is not the only person to have told stories like this about the Mormon Cult. Another well-known author, speaker and former Mormon, Ed Decker has exposed the Mormon cult for what it truly is.
Here is Ed Decker's testimony of how he came out of the Mormon Cult:http://saintsalive.com/plugins/content/jw_allvideos/includes/download.php?file=images/stories/audio/outofmormonism.mp3
Here is another very, very, interesting radio program with Ed Decker. It is about the Free Masons and the founding of America. The Free Masons and the Mormon Church are joined at the hip. Please listen to this, you will find it very interesting. The show is from the early 1990's, I believe anyhow. The show and the ministry which Ed appeared on went bankrupt in the 1990's and went off the air. Ironically, the host's wife died of cancer; she was diagnosed, not long after this show was broadcast.http://saintsalive.com/plugins/content/jw_allvideos/includes/download.php?file=images/stories/audio/foundingofamerica.mp3

You are a #OccupyWallStreet protester and you are a confirmed leftist — all down with Mao and all that. Is this who you want being your spokesman?
The Occupy Wall Street movement is getting sympathy from an unlikely person: Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.).
The 2008 GOP presidential nominee said he understands the growing protest movement's concerns over Washington bailouts of major financial institutions.
"Down in Arizona today, Maricopa County has the highest number of homes underwater of any place in this country," he told reporters Wednesday. "And it's disgraceful that we took care of the financial institutions, and we did nothing about the housing crisis. So I understand their frustration."
He later quipped that he may be the "only" Republican does.
via John McCain feels protesters' pain – On Congress – POLITICO.com.
No John, we should have not taken care of either. We should have let the banks fail, that were failing and we should have not messed with the housing market either; as both would have corrected themselves. This proves that which I and many others like me have believed for years, that John McCain is nothing more than a two-bit big government conservative or as we call them, Republican in Name Only or RINO.

FBI and DEA agents have disrupted a plot to commit a "significant terrorist act in the United States" tied to Iran, federal officials told ABC News today.
The officials said the plot included the assassination of the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the United States, Adel Al-Jubeir, with a bomb and subsequent bomb attacks on the Saudi and Israeli embassies in Washington, D.C. Bombings of the Saudi and Israeli embassies in Buenos Aires, Argentina, were also discussed, according to the U.S. officials.
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said in an announcement today that the plan was "conceived, sponsored and was directed from Iran" by a faction of the government and called it a "flagrant" violation of U.S. and international law.
"The U.S. is committed to holding Iran accountable for its actions," Holder said. He said the White House will be meeting with federal agencies before announcing "further action" in regards to Iran.
FBI Director Robert Mueller said the arrest of a suspect in the plot shows the U.S. will "bring the full weight of [the] law to bear on those responsible" and that "any attempts on American soil will not be tolerated."
The stunning allegations come against a backdrop of longstanding tensions between Iran and the United States and Saudi Arabia. In the last year, Saudi Arabia has attempted to build an anti-Iran alliance to push back against perceived aggression by Iran in the region.

This basically proves my point; that Bush did not do enough after 9/11. If Bush had acted like a real President and not like a wet rag after 9/11, we would not have this sort of troubles. Although, I will admit; I have sneaky feeling that this might spark some sort of Military action. Although, I do not believe it will be of the scale and scope of the War in Iraq.
Ed Morrissey, of whom I respect, says this:
If true, would that not be an act of war? We're presently using drones in Pakistan and Yemen against al-Qaeda terrorist networks for plotting similar attacks, thanks to the AUMF from October 2001, even though we're nominally allied with both nations. If the government of Iran plotted attacks on American targets, that should require a response from the US, should it not — or do we send a signal that even attacks from actual nation-states fall under the rubric of law enforcement?
If we're charging an official of the Iranian government with complicity or worse in this plot, then it ceases to be a law enforcement issue and becomes a military and political issue instead. This isn't a case of espionage but of sabotage or worse, which would be an act of war by anyone's definition. If we're not willing to respond in kind, we then send a signal to hostile nation-states around the world that attacks on the US are low-risk, high-reward affairs — and we'd better get ready for an avalanche of them.
There are some who would say, "Oh, he is just being a Neoconservative!" That might be so, but he is being a Neoconservative, who happens to be right. Ron Paul and ilk are just dead wrong. when it comes to Iran, Islam and the war on terror. They might have a point on Nation Building; but on this sort of thing, Ron Paul and his mindless followers are simply wrong.
Insty calls this CHUTZPAH.
Al-Qaeda's affiliate in Yemen has confirmed the deaths of American-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan, the young American propagandist killed alongside him in a U.S. drone strike late last month.
Al-Qaeda has also criticized the Obama administration for killing U.S. citizens, saying doing so "contradicts" American law.
"Where are what they keep talking about regarding freedom, justice, human rights and respect of freedoms?!" the statement says, according to a translation by SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors jihadist Web sites.
The Obama administration has spoken in broad terms about its authority to use military and paramilitary force against al-Qaeda and associated forces, and al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula would find itself hard-pressed to claim the moral high ground in the debate over the killing of Awlaki and Khan.

This is not Chutzpah, this is just blind arrogance.
Just think, the people that did this here:
Which caused this to happen:
they also did this:

…and they want to lecture us about "freedom, justice, human rights and respect of freedoms"… 😡
My friends, this goes well beyond some Yiddish word for arrogance, gall, or nerve. This backward thinking is shared by the liberal left in this Country. In case anyone that happens to read this blog has forgotten, Al-Qaeda killed 2,977 of our citizens and injured over 6,000 of our citizens. This was an act of war and should have been treated more so, than it was by President Bush. What happened that day was on par with Pearl Harbor and should have resulted in the internment of all Arab citizens in this Country. What that day should have resulted in, was the suspending of the United States Constitution and an change to the first amendment by executive order; outlawing Islam in America forever, as a political philosophy and not a valid religion and the closing of all Mosques in this Country. What happened on that day; should have resulted in the deporting off all Muslims out of the United States forever and Arabs be given a choice, either embrace an American religion or leave. However, because of the weakness of Bush or a desire to please all, President George W. Bush chose the easiest path possible.
My friends, 9/11 is a living testament to the fact that Multiculturalism does not, in fact work. It is a lesson that the Far-Right people's party in Switzerland is learning now, before it is too late. America did not learn that lesson on 9/11; we simply went after just one group, instead of the entire flock of them. This was the great mistake of America and is one that America will have live with for the rest of its existence. If you think, that Muslims will not attack America again, you a very highly mistaken. September 11, 2001 was the opening salvo in a war that will continue until the day that America realizes that Islam and its followers are not friends of America and will eventually destroy us from within, if we allow it.
The question is will we allow it?
This is not much of a surprise, but it is news:
Via WorldNetDaily:
Barack Obama may have 15 months left in his first term, but his supporters in Congress are already preparing for the day he'll be an ex-president by introducing legislation that will allow him to keep his personal and presidential documents secret.
According to Judicial Watch, the Washington-based government corruption fighting organization, the proposal by Rep. Edolphus Towns of New York's 10th District is "an obvious effort to protect President Barack Obama."
"Ironically, Obama revoked a similar George W. Bush order in one of his first official acts as president. In 2001, Bush penned an executive order severely limiting public access to his presidential records. Shortly after swearing in, Obama killed it as part of his much-ballyhooed commitment to government transparency. At the time, the new president claimed that he was giving the American people greater access to 'historic documents,'" Judicial Watch said.
"If the Democrats' proposed measure (Presidential Records Act Amendments) becomes law, former presidents will be allowed to assert a new 'constitutionally based privilege' against disclosing records of their liking. Here is how it would work; the archivist of the United States would be required to notify the former president, as well as the incumbent, of intentions to make records public. Anything that either the former or current president claims should be kept private won't be released," the organization explained.
How ironic; the very President, who threw President Bush privacy under the bus, is now trying to protect his own skin; and with all of the scandal that is slowing trickling out of the White House, I do not think anyone should be shocked over this at all.
I do not know where to begin with this video.
First, Lawrence O'Donnell tries to accuse Herman Cain of draft dodging. Then, he accuses him of various idiot things. Not to mention the "Citizen Cain" in the Chyron at the bottom of the screen. Not to mention the whole condescending tone of the entire video.
There is only one thing that comes to my mind, when watching these videos — Racism. 😡
I mean, could you just imagine, if a Fox News Channel anchor had handled an interview like this, with a black man? There would be protests outside of the News Corp. Building, Fox News Channels studios in New York, and Al Sharpton would be calling for Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch's head!
Here are the videos, all three parts. You watch these video and you tell me, if they are not racist or not.
Via Mediaite:
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
Again, watch the videos and think about if Fox News or any other Conservative outlet sounded this condescending or used "Citizen Cain" as a Chyron. What could the reaction be? I think we all know the answer.
Nothing pisses me off worse, than to watch a privileged white man, who happens to be a liberal; berate a black man, all because he happens to disagree with his politics. That is an outrage and if the Conservative media, including Fox News Channel, ever pulled a stunt like that, there would be riots in the streets. But because Mr. Herman Cain is a Conservative black man — it is perfectly fine. Hell, even this self-hating black man thinks its fine. What an asshole, what a traitor to the back race — sort of like this Murdering, race-hustling, jack ass, who is now dead.
This is another fine reason why I stopped voting for the Democrats, because it is like LBJ said himself:
I'll have them niggers voting for democrats for 300 years!
…and you know what? The Democrats are keeping 'em voting Democratic Party; with hand outs and yes, with Brainwashing.
Update: Even the liberals at DailyKos are not happy with the interview: (H/T Flopping Aces)
1) When you think of Herman Cain, do you ever find yourself thinking, "gee, he was a black teen in the early-1960s. Why didn't he participate in civil rights movement?" I'm not an African-American and wasn't alive in the '60s, but so what if he didn't? I am not sure what the implication is there, but was it incumbent upon ever African-American to march? And does not participating in the civil rights movement imply … what? I suppose it might be a fairer question to ask a white person who was around in that era, but only slightly.
I'm going to go out on a limb and presume that Herman Cain was opposed to segregation.
2) Out of nowhere, O'Donnell asked Cain, who worked (but did not serve) in the Navy, whether he was qualified to be Commander-in-Chief after not serving in Vietnam. Really?! Is this still a thing? I have a hard time believing that O'Donnell genuinely cares about Cain's lack of military service (Clinton and Obama never served), but was possibly trying to posit him as a hypocrite. But that's kind of hard to do when, while not exactly serving, he was working in ballistics for the Navy.
Seemed like a completely disingenuous line of questioning on O'Donnell's part, and made me cringe.
…and more of that great Government at work too….
A while back this guy in this video talked about balancing the budget and it was a viral sensation.
Here is his new video that talks about child support. Now, I must warn you, this is some seriously hardcore stuff; straight out the ghetto and all that. So, consider this your official CONTENT WARNING. This is not safe for work, around children or anyone else who's easily offended.
Props to Felonious Monk from a white guy from the suburbs, who grew up in Southwest Detroit; for having the gonads to tell it straight, without any sugar coating or anything. Good job!
Enjoy the Video:
First, check out this video of an interview by Laura Ingraham, which comes via The Weekly Standard:
In between the yelling that I received from Justice Department yesterday, the spokeswoman–who would not put anything in writing, I was asking for her explanation so there would be clarity and no confusion later over what had been said, she wouldn't put anything in writing–so we talked on the phone and she said things such as the question Holder answered was different than the one he asked. But he phrased it, he said very explicitly, 'I probably heard about Fast and Furious for the first time over the last few weeks.'
Ingraham: So they were literally screaming at you?
Attkisson: Yes. Well the DOJ woman was just yelling at me. The guy from the White House on Friday night literally screamed at me and cussed at me. [Laura: Who was the person? Who was the person at Justice screaming?] Eric Schultz. Oh, the person screaming was [DOJ spokeswoman] Tracy Schmaler, she was yelling not screaming. And the person who screamed at me was Eric Schultz at the White House."
[The White House and Justice Department] will tell you that I'm the only reporter–as they told me–that is not reasonable. They say the Washington Post is reasonable, the LA Times is reasonable, the New York Times is reasonable, I'm the only one who thinks this is a story, and they think I'm unfair and biased by pursuing it.
I hate to belabor that point; but Ingraham is right here, could you imagine if Karl Rove screamed and swore at an NBC reporter covering a story? Holy smokes… 😯
Well, no matter House GOP is now requesting special counsel to give holder a good probing:
The Video:
Quote via Fox News:
EXCLUSIVE: House Republicans are calling for a special counsel to determine whether Attorney General Eric Holder perjured himself during his testimony to the House Judiciary Committee on Operation Fast and Furious, Fox News has learned.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith, R-Texas, was sending a letter to President Obama on Tuesday arguing that Holder cannot investigate himself, and requesting the president instruct the Department of Justice to appoint a special counsel.
The question is whether Holder committed perjury during a Judiciary Committee hearing on May 3. At the time, Holder indicated he was not familiar with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives program known as Fast and Furious until about April 2011.
"I'm not sure of the exact date, but I probably heard about Fast and Furious for the first time over the last few weeks," Holder testified.
Do you think this might be why President Obama is not really trying that hard to campaign for his reelection in 2012? Could be!
Update: Just a bit of a shout-out to reader "little acorn" who has been going to every Conservative and firearm forum out there and passing my blog posting around; I do not know who you are, but my goodness do you ever get around! 😆 😉 Anyhow, thanks to Sean Hannity's Forum, Nebraska Firearms Forum, Subguns.com forum, Time Bomb 2000 Forums for linking here. It makes me feel good to know that people actually give two rips about what I actually have to say. Again, "little acorn," I thank you, whomever you are. 😀
I really had no intention of writing about this silly story; but, because it is to the point that it is starting to sound ridiculous, I felt some commentary was warranted.
Firstly, my positions:
Look, I think this sort of "Guilt by association" thing is nuts — to a point. What I mean is this — it is one thing to be a part of a Church, who's Pastor says things, such as "God Damn America" and you, your wife and kids go there and interact with those people. It is another entirely to try to tie someone to, of all things — a rock, that was painted over long before you even rented the property.
Furthermore, I think Conservatives who are attacking Herman Cain need to shut up. Herman Cain is a black man and I do believe that entitles the man to make any comment about race or racism that he sees fit make, if he so feels fit to do so. Besides all of that, Herman Cain said he was not playing the race card and I do tend to believe him. Herman Cain is not Al Sharpton my friends, nor is he Louis Farrakhan; and I believe Conservatives should not be reacting to Herman Cain's comments as if he is Louis Farrakhan or Al Sharpton either.
My biggest issue with Rick Perry is from Texas and that he possesses a bit of that Texas swagger. The United States of America, nor the Republican Party, nor the Conservative movement need another Texas swagger leader again. We had that for eight years in this Country and it did nothing for this Country, at all. We found this out with Iraq, the bailouts, no child left behind and all of the rest of the former President's blunders. Granted, this current President makes the former look like a Rhodes Scholar. However, I do not wear partisan blinders and I know full of the blunders of the last President. My question to all of you is; do we want that….again?
Thus is the conflict of conservative politics — purity versus electability. If conservative politics were drugs, Ron Paul is Persian white heroin. The problem is this; Ron Paul addicts, as it were, just love him. The rest of us, are scared to death of him and his foreign policy! Therefore, to be clear here, I am, by no means, a Bill Kristol or a John Podhoretz type, when it comes to foreign policy — but a little common sense is needed when dealing with the Middle East. I will not belabor the point; I think you all know what I mean here. (I hope!)
Simply put, purity over electability will be the death knell of the Republican Party. Just ask anyone who was around in 1964 in the Republican Party.
There do seem to be two sides to this argument. Check out the exchange over at The National Review Online's blog, the corner, between Andy McCarthy and Kevin Williamson Also, for good measure check out AllahPundit over Hotair's feelings about it too. Just a short fun fact, AllahPundit was within 5 miles of the trade center when it was hit on 9/11.
Personally, I feel that the dude should have been killed; he was actively recruiting people for Jihad or in American terms, for war with the United States and would be considered a traitor to the United States. Due process? Feh. The people who died on 9/11 were not given any due process or even a choice whether to live or die. So, that whole bat shit crazy argument does not even fly with me.
Further more, this is why I despise Ron Paul with every damned fiber of my being; the man is a terrorist supporting jackal. Anyone who would side with those, or even have pity of those who would want to hurt this Country, ought be frog marched out into the public square and shot. I am sorry if that offends anyone; but it is just how I feel. Ron Paul and his merry band of leftists are a disgrace to this Country and everything it stands for. They call themselves Republicans and Conservatives — I call them bastards, evil, rotten to the damned core bastards, who should be locked in an insane asylum.
Update: Looks like Gary Johnson feels the same way, which is another reason why neither of these two idiots will ever be President:

Oh Sweet Jesus on a t-model Ford already! I thought Rep. Sheila Jackson was a little off in the head!
Turns out North Carolina's Government makes her look rather smart!
Via the Daily Caller:
As a way to solve the national debt crisis, North Carolina Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue recommends suspending Congressional elections for the next couple of years.
"I think we ought to suspend, perhaps, elections for Congress for two years and just tell them we won't hold it against them, whatever decisions they make, to just let them help this country recover," Perdue said at a rotary club event in Cary, North Carolina, according to the Raleigh News and Observer. "I really hope that someone can agree with me on that."
Perdue said she thinks that temporarily halting elections would allow members of Congress to focus on the economy. "You have to have more ability from Congress, I think, to work together and to get over the partisan bickering and focus on fixing things," Perdue said.
Of course, the Republicans of NC were not to0 keen on the idea…:
North Carolina Republicans immediately scoffed at Perdue's proposal, pointing out to her that elections hold politicians accountable for their actions. "Now is a time when politicians need to be held accountable more than ever," North Carolina GOP spokesman Rob Lockwood said in an email to The Daily Caller. "To suspend an election would be removing the surest mechanism that citizens have to hold politicians accountable: The right to vote."
But that is what the hardcore
Communists Progressives want; to get rid of the Election process, so that they can keep a Communist Progressive in the White House. This way they can fulfill their Communist dream of total Governmental Control and of the elimation of Conservative thought and action. It is their real goal. In fact, I have gotten e-mails that say that very thing. So, it is not just paranoid talk from a Right-Wing Blogger, in this case, it is the truth.
This is unreal:
For the only Detroit automaker that "didn't take the money" of the federal auto bailouts, Ford Motor Co. keeps paying a price for its comparative success and self-reliant turnaround.
There's no help from American taxpayers to help lighten its debt load, giving crosstown rivals comparatively better credit ratings and a financial edge Ford is working diligently to erase all on its own.
There's no clause barring a strike by hourly workers amid this fall's national contract talks with the United Auto Workers — a by-product of the taxpayer-financed bailout that General Motors Co. and Chrysler Group LLC retain until 2015.
And there's no assurance the Dearborn automaker can use the commercially advantageous fact that it didn't "take the money" proffered by the Obama Treasury Department and use it in TV ads angling to sell cars and trucks. Not if the campaign takes a whack at its Detroit rivals and suggests that Ford no longer supports the Obama administration bailouts it backed in public statements and sworn congressional testimony.
As part of a campaign featuring "real people" explaining their decision to buy the Blue Oval, a guy named "Chris" says he "wasn't going to buy another car that was bailed out by our government," according the text of the ad, launched in early September.
"I was going to buy from a manufacturer that's standing on their own: win, lose, or draw. That's what America is about is taking the chance to succeed and understanding when you fail that you gotta' pick yourself up and go back to work."
That's what some of America is about, evidently. Because Ford pulled the ad after individuals inside the White House questioned whether the copy was publicly denigrating the controversial bailout policy CEO Alan Mulally repeatedly supported in the dark days of late 2008, in early '09 and again when the ad flap arose. And more.
via Columnists | Ford pulls its ad on bailouts | The Detroit News.
I would and could carp on about this one; but I will simply say this — this here, my friends, is why you do not elect totalitarian Presidential Administrations who are not too fond of criticism. I know Bush did it too; to a point, but not nearly as bad as this bunch in the White House. This President is much worse. Further more, Bush's issue was with the liberal media and never, ever with private business.
I also have to wonder; how much of this was the Union's doing? I wonder if Ford received a threatening phone call from the President of the AFL-CIO and was told, "You either pull that ad or you are going have a huge labor walkout on your hands!" I cannot prove that in a court of law. But I would be willing to bet money that is what happened.
Again, as I am prone to saying here, quite a bit. Remember this dumb nonsense come 2012; because no President or White House should ever, and I do mean EVER be able to pressure any business to pull advertising. We are a free Republic; and not some damned Communist dictatorship; this has to stop and I hope like the dickens that Republicans pick the right guy to beat Obama in 2012. Because crap like this, has go to go and I mean go quickly.

This time it is the EPA that is out of control.
WorldNetDaily has the story:
Just imagine. You want to build a home, so you buy a $23,000 piece of land in a residential subdivision in your hometown and get started. The government then tells you to stop, threatens you with $40 million in fines and is not kidding.
That's the case now before the U.S. Supreme Court, with briefs being filed today by the Pacific Legal Foundation on behalf of a Priest Lake, Idaho, family, Chantell and Mike Sackett.
Attorney Damien Schiff, who will be arguing before the high court in the case, said it's simply a case of a government run amok, and it poses a potential threat to perhaps not every landowner across the nation, but untold millions.
The Sacketts, Schiff said, "bought property, and the government in effect has ordered them to treat the property like a public park."
"The EPA has not paid them a dime for that privilege," he said. "The regime we have operating now allows the EPA to take property without having to pay for it, or giving the owners the right to their day in court.
Here is the video of the couple explaining their plight:
Allow me to simply say this, to add to this story; this, my friends, is what happens when you elect Democrats. They expand the size of Government and Government begins to overreach. Some would say that Neoconservatives, like Bush do the same thing and it is true. As Michelle Bachmann said here recently; we should not settle for second best, when it comes to a truly constitutionally Conservative candidate. We need someone as the Republican candidate for President that would SHRINK, NOT GROW the size of Government. Why, you ask? Because of ignorant stupidity like this right here.
Because the truth is this; big, overreaching Government not only hurts the small business owner and also the bigger business owners — but it also hurts the average American too. Not only in taxes; but in cases like this one here. Since when does the Government just come in and tell you that you cannot build your own house? Since Americans started electing big Government socialists. Which is the whole crux of the problem; when Americans elect Democratic Party socialists, like the current one in the White House — it is not the poor and disadvantaged that suffer or more accurately the lazy people who do not want to work and want a free check from the Government. The people who suffer are the hard working people of this Country, who simply want to enjoy the American dream without fear of oppression of the Government. This is why the Republican Party had better choose wisely this time; because I simply do not know, if America can stand another four years of this sort of Governmental overreach. Republicans have done played the Big Government game too, That I do know. However, I also know that we cannot take another four years of Big Government — from either Party.
My dear readers…
As it says on my page titled "Christian???" — This blog was never originally intended to be a "Christian" blog, at all. This Blog was originally intended to be a Political Blog, with a slightly right of center stance. However, on some issues, I have drifted much more to the right, than when I first began blogging.
Also know, that I just do not consider myself a good enough Christian to be a spokesman for Christianity, the Church and all related matters. This is why I very rarely blog about Bible doctrine, or even quote scriptures on here. As it might offend someone somewhere.
However, there are times, when the actions of a Government intersect with Christianity and I must report on it; and when I do, I will usually quote the Bible.
Having said all that; here is a story, that really burns my boots. It comes via WorldNetDaily.com, whom I very rarely link to, but this one stuck out:
Chuck and Stephanie Fromm already have been fined $300 for holding Bible studies for their friends at their home, and they face the potential for additional fines of $500 for each study held, according to a legal team taking their case to court.
The newest conflict over Bible studies in homes in America arose in San Juan Capistrano, Calif., where city officials say city code section 9-3.301 prohibits religious organizations in residential neighborhoods without a conditional-use permit, a sometimes very expensive procedure.
The code cites "churches, temples, synagogues, monasteries, religious retreats, and other places of religious worship and other fraternal and community service organizations."
But a Bible study in a home?
"Imposing a heavy-handed permit requirement on a home Bible study is outrageous," said Brad Dacus, president of Pacific Justice Institute, which is working on the case on behalf of the Fromms.
"In a city so rich with religious history and tradition, this is particularly egregious. An informal gathering in a home cannot be treated with suspicion by the government, or worse than any other gathering of friends, just because it is religious. We cannot allow this to happen in America, and we will fight as long and as hard as it takes to restore this group's religious freedom."
WND has reported on similar issues in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., and in Gilbert, Ariz.
In this case, the city is demanding that the home Bible study is banned because it is a "church," unless it purchases a 'Conditional Use Permit" from the city.
Pacific Justice said it has represented larger churches that have been required to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars as part of the permit process on such items as engineering and traffic studies, architectural designs. The process includes public hearings and ultimately can result in a rejection by the city.
Pacific Justice says the Fromms already have been fined $300, and an appeal to the city was denied.
The organization points out that the city was founded as a Christian mission in the 1700s and is home to California's oldest building still in use, a chapel where Father Junipero Serra celebrated mass.
Pacific Justice said it is appealing the city's demands to California Superior Court in Orange County.
A message WND left with the city did not produce a return call.
Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. (2 Timothy 3:12-17 KJV)
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. (Matthew 5:10-12 KJV)
If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. — (John 15:18-20 KJV)
There are a whole bunch more; but I think you get the point. We are, everyday, getting closer to when that trumpet sounds and we the true believers will be taken from this place and transformed from these fleshly bodies to our new bodies. I for one, cannot wait.

If someone would have written something like this —- say maybe a year and half or longer ago; I would have been all for it. However, I do believe that it is too little, too late for this Administration. Anyone that knows anything about politics, knows that the worst thing that can happen to a politician is a bad political skid. Sad to say this, but the Obama White House is a very bad political skid at the moment and sadly has no pea-picking clue how to get out of that skid at all.
Well, Anyhow, James Carville, seems to believe that now would be the good time to try and correct the skid, just before the political "car" is about to head for the proverbial cliff. Mr. Carville writes:
People often ask me what advice I would give the White House about various things. Today I was mulling over election results from New York and Nevada while thinking about that very question. What should the White House do now? One word came to mind: Panic.
We are far past sending out talking points. Do not attempt to dumb it down. We cannot stand any more explanations. Have you talked to any Democratic senators lately? I have. It's pretty damn clear they are not happy campers.
This is what I would say to President Barack Obama: The time has come to demand a plan of action that requires a complete change from the direction you are headed.
What Carville is referring to is the ever growing feeling among the Democrats that Obama is simply out of his league, as evidenced in the latest go-around with the jobs bill. Carville also gives some advice to the President:
1. Fire somebody. No — fire a lot of people. This may be news to you but this is not going well. For precedent, see Russian Army 64th division at Stalingrad. There were enough deaths at Stalingrad to make the entire tea party collectively orgasm.
Mr. President, your hinge of fate must turn. Bill Clinton fired many people in 1994 and took a lot of heat for it. Reagan fired most of his campaign staff in 1980. Republicans historically fired their own speaker, Newt Gingrich. Bush fired Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. For God's sake, why are we still looking at the same political and economic advisers that got us into this mess? It's not working.
Furthermore, it's not going to work with the same team, the same strategy and the same excuses. I know economic analysts are smart — some work 17-hour days. It's time to show them the exit. Wake up — show us you are doing something.
Well, for starters, how about Obama just fire himself? Have you seen the latest headlines on the Gun running scandal? How about the pressuring of officials to change their testimony for projects gone a muck? Not to mention the crazy idea of Attack Watch, is not that like a Nixon enemies list? It is quite obvious that this Administration is the most corrupt Presidential administration ever; and if you do not believe that the Obama was being that Gun-running operation, you are crazy.
Carville goes on:
2.Indict people. There are certain people in American finance who haven't been held responsible for utterly ruining the economic fabric of our country. Demand from the attorney general a clear status of the state of investigation concerning these extraordinary injustices imposed upon the American people. I know Attorney General Eric Holder is a close friend of yours, but if his explanations aren't good, fire him too. Demand answers to why no one has been indicted.
Mr. President, people are livid. Tell people that you, too, are angry and sickened by the irresponsible actions on Wall Street that caused so much suffering. Do not accept excuses. Demand action now.
As my friend Ed Morrissey points out, was there not a time in this Country, when using the Justice Department for political purposes, was a bad thing? Is that not what the Democrats howled to the high Heavens about, when Bush was in office; further more, as someone who was a advisor to President Bill Clinton — I think Carville is the last person who needs to be talking about President and the Justice Department.
Carville goes on to say that the President is not acting like a Democrat enough, which too, is stupid on its face. I would tend to believe that many, including those on the right who would say he is acting like a Democrat just perfectly; by enacting polices that have failed and is behind actions in the Government which are totally correct and are just now being brought out for public scrutiny.
So, while this might be some good advice, I believe it might just be a little too late for any of this sort of advice to the President. In other words; the President has dug his own damned hole and the clock is running on out his socialist experiment. Soon, the adults will have the keys back and the progressives will be run back to the rat holes of politics — where they damned well belong.

You know, I hate to be an a-hole about this sort of a thing. But there just some things that I cannot and will not overlook.
Anyhow, some woman of Arab and Jewish decent was detained at Detroit Metro Airport on a flight from Denver. She was strip-searched and now has taken to her blog to whine about it and also use racist imagery. For the record, here is a news article about it.
She starts her blog posting:
Silly me. I thought flying on 9/11 would be easy. I figured most people would choose not to fly that day so lines would be short, planes would be lightly filled and though security might be ratcheted up, we'd all feel safer knowing we had come a long way since that dreadful Tuesday morning 10 years ago.
But then armed officers stormed my plane, threw me in handcuffs and locked me up.
At first, when I started reading the post; I actually felt sorry for the lady. You know, innocent woman being strip-searched and such. But then, as I got further in the article, I started seeing things like this:
They took him to another room, and I heard an officer tell him to remove his clothes. He was going to be searched. I could not fully grasp what was happening. I stared at the yellow walls and listened to a few officers talk about the overtime they were racking up, and I decided that I hated country music. I hated speedboats and shitty beer in coozies and fat bellies and rednecks. I thought about Abu Ghraib and the horror to which those prisoners were exposed. I thought about my dad and his prescience. I was glad he wasn't alive to know about what was happening to me. I thought about my kids, and what would have happened if they had been there when I got taken away. I contemplated never flying again. I thought about the incredible waste of taxpayer dollars in conducting an operation like this. I wondered what my rights were, if I had any at all. Mostly, I could not believe I was sitting in some jail cell in some cold, undisclosed building surrounded by "the authorities."
Another female officer, this one in jeans and a t-shirt came to visit me. She introduced herself as an agent–Homeland Security. She removed my handcuffs and had me follow her to a different room down a long hall and through a few doors. As we walked, I got a glimpse of the watch-stealer, a chubby middle-aged white guy with a buzz cut. He didn't look too different from some of the officers.
After fingerprinting me and asking me about my height/weight/place and date of birth and so on, a middle-aged white cop with a beer belly and a flat top returned me–without handcuffs–to the cell. I waited, wondering if I would be spending the night locked up. I thought about the last words my husband said to me while I was still on the plane waiting on the tarmac, "They must have found out there was a Hebshi on the plane." We joke about this at times, that because of my ethnicity I am being scrutinized but I had no intention of putting that out to the universe and making it happen.
…and the real humdinger is this one:
I thought about Malcom X and how bravely and fastidiously he studied and wrote while he was in prison, how his solitude enabled him to transform his anger into social change and personal betterment. That's when I decided to write this post. I needed to explain what had happened–was happening–to me. I was not going to be silent. Still, I wondered what my rights were, and though I felt violated and scared I wasn't sure that our new laws protected me from this treatment.
There is also this….:
I wondered what my rights were, and though I felt violated and scared I wasn't sure that our new laws protected me from this treatment.
If this woman wants any sympathy from me, she needs to get off of the racist stereotypes of white people. If I would have penned this article, ripping on this woman, because she happens to be a Jewish/Arab half breed, I would be called every sort of names, you know, like Anti-Semitic and racist? I found that to be extremely offensive and I told her so, in some very colorful language as to that fact.
Further more, what about the people in the World Trade Center towers, who had to choose between burning alive or being crushed to death or jumping from the building and dying. You do not think those people did not feel violated and scared?
Again, I do not cheer this woman's misfortune, but this is the era we live in; the post-911 era. Thanks to the action of a group of Arab Muslim terrorists, we now live into a era of hyper-security. If this woman wants to register a complaint; she should try registering it to Al-Qaeda, better yet, let her register a complaint to the Muslim community here in America and abroad and condemn them for not standing up and saying that they are not doing enough to stand up against radical Muslims.
I have to wonder, how much of that story was embellished or as we usually call it — made up?
Remember folks, As Debbie Schlussel says, 9/11 was a MUSLIM Job and we, the American people were the true victims, not Arabs or Muslims. But then again, this woman sounds like a moronic liberal idiot, who always thinks directly backward of a sane, rational, human being. As Dr. Michael Savage says — Liberalism is a mental disorder. Update: Don't believe me? Just look right here. How stupid can people be?!?
Others: The Atlantic Online, Hit & Run Gothamist Business Insider, The Atlantic Online and msnbc.com — via Memeorandum
Update: It appears that my article has hit a nerve. I got one thing to say…:
You see, nobody thought of their rights. No one cared. Liberals, Muslims and Democrats thought we were the "Great Satan" and deserved it. This is why I bitched about this article.

I'm a huge Seinfeld fan. Even though the show went off the air in 1998, I regularly watched reruns on cable for years. My wife got us tickets to see Jerry Seinfeld live when he came to town in 2004, and it was one of the best shows I've ever seen. So when one of my Facebook friends linked to an article about a Seinfeld productivity tip, I had to check it out.
The story is this: a young comedian happened to be working at a club the same night Jerry Seinfeld was there, so he forced himself to go over, introduce himself, and ask Jerry if he had any tips for an aspiring comedian.
Jerry said the trick to becoming a better comedian was writing better jokes, and the trick to writing better jokes was to write every day. So Jerry suggested that the guy get a calendar, and set the goal of writing some jokes every day. Each day, when the comedian had completed this task, he got to mark a big, fat X for that day on the calendar.
After a few days of doing this, the comedian would have a chain, and then his only goal was to not break the chain.
I have to say that I absolutely love this idea. Anyone can start off a new goal with a flurry of activity, but then your determination and drive usually fade after a week or so. What do you do at that point? If you already have 14 red X's on your calendar, it's going to be a lot harder to quit when you know it's going to take another two weeks to get back to where you are now.
Keep this tip in mind when you are setting your goals, and think of how you can break your goals down into daily, repeatable tasks. Not only will you get to have some fun with your goals, but having one thing that you do every day will make it easier for your brain to accept the idea.
One thing that I love about this productivity tip is how well it lends itself to starting a website. If you're new to web publishing or are just starting your online business, then what is it that's going to make your website successful? Publishing new content every day. If you can do this simple task every day for one year, you are going to have some decent traffic.
Set the goal of publishing at least one new post every day, and then go out and buy a calendar and a big red marker. I think you'll be amazed at how energized and motivated seeing a long chain of X's will make you feel.

Labour questions payment to departing official
The Labour Party is questioning why departing deputy chief executive of the Ministry of Social Development Janet Grossman was paid a termination benefit.
Speaking on behalf of Social Development Minister Paula Bennett in Parliament on Thursday, Defence Minister Jonathan Coleman confirmed a payment had been made to Ms Grossman but would not say how much.
Ms Grossman left the ministry just 11 months after being hired from the UK. Dr Coleman said she left to pursue opportunities in Britain.
Labour's social development spokesperson Jacinda Ardern says a termination benefit is given only if someone is made redundant, and she is calling on Ms Bennett to explain.

Journalists' Safety Indicators
Developed within the context of the endorsement of the UN Plan of Action on the Safety of Journalists and the Issue of Impunity by the UN Chief Executives Board and launching of an implementation strategy for 2013-2014, the purpose of the JSI indicators is to pinpoint significant matters that show, or impact upon, the safety of journalists and the issue of impunity. They allow for a mapping of key features that can help assess the extent to which journalists are able to carry out their work under safe conditions, and determine whether adequate follow-up is given to crimes committed against them. The JSIs serve to identify the actions that are taken by the various relevant stakeholders in promoting journalists' safety and fighting impunity at national level. These actors include the UN, State and political actors, civil society organizations and academics, and media and intermediaries.
The JSIs especially serve as a basis against which changes can be systematically registered over time, these changes – hopefully – representing progress, and having a positive impact as regards the safety of journalists. As regards the United Nations, they can help UNESCO and other relevant UN agencies assess on a periodic basis the extent to which the implementation of the UN Plan of Action on the Safety of Journalists and the Issue of Impunity has contributed to improving the security of media professionals in the countries participating in the roll-out of the Action Plan.
It should be noted that the indicators are not intended as a universal model, but rather as signalling a range of relevant items that can serve the purpose of mapping and understanding. They are therefore descriptive and are for the purpose of analysis not prescription. Not every indicator is relevant or even desirable in every context. However, any published findings should indicate the cases in which indicators have not been included for reasons of either suitability or absence of data.
There are two sets of indicators – one targeted for national assessment, and the other applies to the global level. There is also a handbook for applying the indicators:

Normally, I'm of the opinion that the more rugged a motorcycle boot, the better. My personal favorite pair includes wrapped buckle straps so loose and chunky that I sometimes sound like a cowgirl parading her spurs down the hall toward the office, and once I arrive, I look vaguely like a pirate. The slick, elegant Pierre Hardy Buckled Ankle Boots are the opposite of those shoes, but I'm totally in love.
With this shoe, the eminently talented Hardy fulfills a lot of rugged moto-boot tropes (straps, big buckles, low heel) in a decidedly non-rugged way. That's not to say that the product of his efforts is precious, though; it doesn't swing too girlish or too undone. Instead, Hardy hits the sweet spot with a thoroughly modern update to the traditional moto that's just a shade off the expected in a lot of ways. Not least of which, of course, is the color – instead of the expected black leather, Hardy makes you look twice with dark grey.

NY State Governor Andrew Cuomo has proposed a $105 million partnership between the NY Genome Center (NYGC) and the University at Buffalo's Center for Computational Research. The goal is to enable genetic discoveries that will potentially save lives by transforming how health care impacts patients.
The partnership is also expected to create new jobs in the state. The NYGC is planning to add 500 positions in Manhattan, and the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus plans similar employee growth in the short term and more over time. The NYGC will receive $55 million from the state, and center officials say they are committed to match it dollar for dollar with funds raised separately. With this new alliance, the NYGC will be fully focused on implementing advanced genomic research and expanding its applications, they add.
"The incredibly potent combination of genomic medicine and the analytic power of today's super computers will change our approach to health care," said Robert Darnell, M.D., Ph.D., NYGC's CEO, president and scientific director. "With these new technologies, we can begin to visualize treatments and cures for diseases such as cancers, Alzheimer's, Lou Gehrig's, and Parkinson's. That's what the New York Genome Center is all about, and as a result of Governor Cuomo's vision this partnership will rapidly enhance our capabilities. We are grateful for the Governor's dedication to this worthy mission."
