Stop Pests from Invading your Home
To prevent pests from becoming a really big nuisance around the house, it helps to keep a few simple pest control tips in mind:
- Put scraps of leftover food or food from your barbeque party into a trash bin and close it tightly to prevent pests like cockroaches, flies, ants, birds, etc. from getting at it
- Pests love dark areas with plenty of cracks. Try to seal any cracks and crannies in your home interior and exterior to prevent pests from hiding in them or from getting inside your home
- Inspect the surrounding of your house to ensure there's no stagnate water or standing water and other types of moisture in birdbaths, swimming pools, flowerpots, barrels, etc. that can help breed mosquitoes
- Seal all doors and windows properly with snug screens and weather stripping
- Ensure that the attic is well ventilated; this not only helps keep roaches away but also aids in cooling the house during hot summer months
- Get rid of wood or stones around your home that are not being used. Wood, bricks, stones, and other debris soon become a harboring ground for termites, carpenter ants, rodents, etc.
- Select the right pest control product that can help you eradicate pests or keep them in control; after all, you may want to kill cockroaches, but you also just want to prevent pigeons from roosting on ledges or gutters without harming them

The Textile Arts Council presents a lecture by Mary Schoeser.
This lecture follows a trail that begins with Egyptian shen rings and ends with contemporary British textiles—taking in the world of textiles along the way. An element of woven silks, lush embroideries, shawls, carpets, and costumes, the roundel design is shown to be an enduring and meaningful pattern that also was used by members of the Arts & Crafts Movement, including Walter Crane and May Morris, as well as by many American quilt makers.
The lecture's theme expands on just one aspect of Mary Schoeser's latest book, Textiles: The Art of Mankind. Schoeser is a leading authority in the field of textiles and is Honorary President of the UK Textile Society. Her previous books include World Textiles: A Concise History (2003), Silk (2007), Rozanne Hawksley: Offerings (2009) and Sanderson: The Essence of English Decoration (2010). She has recently co-curated an exhibition at the UC Davis Design Museum entitled Structures, Signifiers, and Society: People and Textiles, open until March 18, 2013.

Why The West Bank belongs to the Jews
The Bible says it belongs to the Jews. Read Genesis 17:19-21, Genesis 15:18 and And Solomon reigned over all kingdoms from the river unto the land of the Philistines, and unto the border of Egypt: they brought presents, and served Solomon all the days of his life 1 Kings 4:21. They owned lots more land than they have now, they are due more land than they have per the Bible.

What is the dispute over the West Bank?
There is no dispute over the West Bank of Israel. No grounds for it. If Arabs want to dispute over "a" West Bank, they need to go to Arabia's West Bank. Let's spell it out/THE ARABS ARE FIGHTING FOR THE RIGHTS OF THE WRONG WEST BANK! Historically speaking, and though Israel included the East of the Jordan river, history of the beginning of Arabs were birthed there, East of the Jordan River South, far South. I am not saying Arabs can't live in the land of Israel, however, if the Palestinians (as they call themselves) are looking for land to start their own nation, they are looking in the wrong place. Also, if they think they will call it "Palestine" from an original speaking term, they couldn't, for it only applied to those escaping the Arab nation, and coming to a Jewish one, and going through the ritual of becoming Jews. Mr. Ayalon is correct, there never was an Arab Palestine, whose religion was anything else besides Jewish. Historically, they had escaped from a non-Jewish nation of people, and joined with the Hebrews who had crossed over and landed on the West Bank of Israel, coming from the West, that being Egypt, returning to their land after being exiled 400 yrs. The Arabs that had escaped from Moab and Ammom, were leaving behind them Mitzraim and the gods of the Moabites, to return to the first fruits of Lot's original family he came from. Returning, before the fall. Does this sound like the people who call themselves Palestinians today? A few rotten apples in the bucket, like Goliath was in his family.

This God gave the land argument only convinces co-religionists
Religious Jews may believe this but not their enemy, and not people of other religions. This argument is insufficient in the modern world. You might argue that Jews have history in the land; that is was their land--but even then God didn't "give" it to them; they won it in battle. Then someone else won it in battle. Then the UN made it possible for the Jews to build a nation there, but they immediately had to win it and defend it in battle. In war, each side believes their God is on their side. In the US football teams beleive it too--and it is the same god usually. But only one side wins.

Support World CouncilWith Amazon Smiles!
MADISON, Wis. — The stability provided by smaller, community-based financial institutions is critical in keeping the overall economies of communities and countries upright when the growth schemes of large, complex banks go awry. That key lesson was learned by many during the 2009 global economic crisis. World Council of Credit Unions (WOCCU) would like to make sure new recommendations put forth by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision not only recognize this fact, but offer provisions that don't penalize smaller institutions, especially credit unions.
The new guidelines, released for public comment in December and adapted with guidance from the Group of 20 (G-20) nations in response to last year's global economic meltdown, recognize for the first time differences between large for-profit financial corporations and non-joint stock companies, which include mutuals, cooperatives and credit unions. WOCCU sought input from its member organizations worldwide in order to craft two April 16 response letters that assure these differences and other factors that favorably affect financial cooperatives appear in the final guidelines.
"The presence of community-based, not-for-profit financial institutions has been a redeeming aspect of financial sectors during the great recession, and they have aided many economies in finding solutions to harsh economic problems," wrote Dave Grace, WOCCU vice president of association services and the letters' author. "It is imperative that the Basel Committee's work not only do no harm to financial cooperatives, but actively promote diversity of the financial sector."
WOCCU in the past has submitted its ideas and suggestions for consideration by the Basel Committee, and had met with committee Chairman Nout Wellink in 2009 to make the case for credit unions. In response, current amendments to the Basel II Accord reflect a greater understanding of the different structure and nature of financial cooperatives. The reform package covers the following key areas of interest to credit unions:
On April 7, WOCCU held a 90-minute international webinar for its members, global financial regulators and Basel Committee staff to discuss the impact of proposed changes to the Basel II Accord. Input from the webinar and from member groups served as the basis for WOCCU's response letters, according to Grace.
"With the exception of recognizing that a cooperative's ownership shares qualify as Tier 1 capital, the committee's proposals do little to aid credit union development," Grace said. "We strongly urge the Basel Committee to more actively enable the development of such institutions and serve as a counter-weight to the too-big-to-fail entities by ensuring credit unions access to deposit insurance systems, central bank liquidity windows, payment/settlement systems and card networks.
"We also encourage prudential, but proportional supervision of the sector to help ensure that local community-based financial institutions can support the industry's financial stability," Grace added.
Both response letters are available for download. View the consultative document on Strengthening the Resilience of the Banking Sector or International
Framework for Liquidity Risk Measurement,
Standards and Monitoring.
World Council of Credit Unions is the global trade association and development agency for credit unions. World Council promotes the sustainable development of credit unions and other financial cooperatives around the world to empower people through access to high quality and affordable financial services. World Council advocates on behalf of the global credit union system before international organizations and works with national governments to improve legislation and regulation. Its technical assistance programs introduce new tools and technologies to strengthen credit unions' financial performance and increase their outreach.
World Council has implemented more than 290 technical assistance programs in 71 countries. Worldwide, 60,500 credit unions in 109 countries serve 223 million people. Learn more about World Council's impact around the world at www.woccu.org.

Soledad Makes Deal With CNN

Anchor Leaving Morning Show, Will Create Documentaries
Anchor Leaving Morning Show, Will Create Documentaries
"Soledad O'Brien will leave CNN's morning show in the spring, but she won't be leaving the cable news channel altogether," as Brian Stelter put it Thursday for the New York Times.
"Ms. O'Brien, who is well-known for CNN documentaries like 'Black in America,' said Thursday that she would form a production company and continue to supply documentaries to CNN on a nonexclusive basis. She'll also make them for other television channels and for the Web."
O'Brien, daughter of a white Australian father and a black Cuban mother, was named "Journalist of the Year" by the National Association of Black Journalists in 2010. NABJ called her "the impetus of CNN's acclaimed 'In America' franchise, which began with CNN's 'Black [in] America' in 2008, a groundbreaking documentary, which took an in-depth look at the challenges confronting blacks in America." Later, the series took on "Latino in America" and "Gay in America."
Stelter's story continued, " 'There's so many great stories to tell,' said Ms. O'Brien, who is preparing two new installments of the 'Black in America' franchise for CNN.
"The deal is an unusual one for CNN. In effect, Ms. O'Brien will go from being an anchor to an outside producer. She may have had little choice in the matter: the new head of CNN Worldwide, Jeff Zucker, decided even before he started the job in January that he wanted to replace Ms. O'Brien's morning show, 'Starting Point,' with a brand new one."
The "In America" franchise is expected to continue after those two installments.
In its official announcement, CNN said, ". . . O'Brien's company, which will launch in June, will produce three long-form programming specials for CNN in 2014. Those specials will include one of the network's most successful franchises, Black in America. O'Brien's new production company, Starfish Media Group, in conjunction with CNN, will act as the exclusive worldwide distributor of previous documentaries featuring O'Brien. She will also host the 2013 CNN Black in America documentary, which will air later this year."
" 'We greatly value Soledad's experience, and her first-rate storytelling will continue to be an asset to CNN,' said Zucker. 'Documentaries and long-form story telling are important to our brand and we're anticipating more of what we've come to expect from her — riveting content.' "
Stelter's story continued, "The hosts of the new, as-yet-untitled show have not been named, but Mr. Zucker hired Chris Cuomo from ABC last month with the intention of pairing him with Erin Burnett, who presently hosts the 7 p.m. hour on CNN. . . ."
In a story widely picked up in social media and on websites Tuesday, the New York Post's Page Six gossip column reported that "Page Six has exclusively learned" that "High-profile morning anchor Soledad O'Brien is on her way out at CNN. . . ."
However, neither CNN nor O'Brien would confirm the item, attributed to unnamed sources, and the ultimate resolution of O'Brien's status proved not so cut and dried.
Earlier Thursday, O'Brien acknowledged that "Starting Point" would end but said she was "talking" with the network about her role.
O'Brien stopped by "The Wendy Williams Show" on Thursday, and Williams immediately asked whether she would be leaving CNN, Mackenzie Weinger reported for Politico.
" 'You know, we're talking about my role,' O'Brien told Williams. 'As you know, it's been reported a lot that the morning show is going a different direction. So, we're talking about what ways I can contribute to CNN. Doing stuff I like to do, which is hard-hitting journalism.' . . ."

Ruling Conflicts With First Amendment, Lawyer Says
A federal judge in Miami ordered a Haitian-American journalist never again to write about the professional, personal or political lives of Haiti's prime minister or a South Florida businessman, ruling that the journalist had defamed them.
"The ruling seems pretty outrageous on its face," Gregg Leslie, legal defense director of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, told Journal-isms by telephone on Wednesday. According to Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary, ". . . Prior restraints are considered a violation of the First Amendment and are rarely permitted except in cases in which the publication is obscene, defamatory, or represents a clear and present danger — a theory articulated by the U.S. Supreme Court in Near v. Minnesota (1931)."
Leo Joseph, journalist for the New York-based Haiti Observateur, told Journal-isms by telephone that he was not even in Florida when the Feb. 6 ruling was issued. "I did not have thousands of dollars to defend myself," Joseph said. "I had no desire to make a fool of myself." He added, "They never served me properly. I'm going to appeal this. . . . I did not have a lawyer." Of those who sued him, Joseph said, "I did not think they had the guts to do it."
Leslie said the ruling by U.S. District Judge Ursula Ungaro sounded as though she invited the lawyers for the plaintiffs to draw up a proposed order, which she accepted. "It seems like the judge signed it without thinking it through," Leslie said.
Joseph agreed. He told Journal-isms, ". . . They were trying to silence me, because I have more stuff coming."
The Florida law firm Perlman, Bajandas, Yevoli & Albright, P.L., distributed a news release on Tuesday, apparently on behalf of the Haitian plaintiffs. The Associated Press transmitted a story the same day.
The news release began, "A US Federal Judge ruled on February 6, 2013 against the Haiti Observateur, a New York based Website noting that it had published false and defamatory statements against Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe and Patrice Baker, his former business partner and prominent South Florida businessman. The ruling also notes that the Website and its reporter acted with malice.
"In August 2012 Leo Joseph, a reporter for the Haiti Observateur, wrote two articles making allegations against Baker and Lamothe in relation to the sale of a bankrupted telephone company in Haiti.
"Noting the false and malicious nature of the accusations, Baker and Lamothe immediately sued Joseph and the Haiti Observateur in a US District Court, Southern District of Florida. Federal Judge Ursula Ungaro provided a sweeping ruling that sided entirely with the plaintiffs. Judge Ungaro notes in her ruling that the Haiti Observateur's publications are 'replete with statements that are outrageous, scandalous and reminiscent of a tabloid publication. . . . ' "
Joseph told Journal-isms, ". . . After this, I am going to sue them back." But first, he said, he is looking for a lawyer.
The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, founded in 1970, provides free legal advice, resources, support and advocacy to protect the First Amendment and Freedom of Information rights of journalists working in areas where U.S. law applies, regardless of the medium in which their work appears, according to its website.
It was founded after New York Times reporter Earl Caldwell, later a founder of the Maynard Institute for Journalism Education, was ordered to reveal to a federal grand jury his sources in the Black Panther organization, threatening his independence as a newsgatherer.
Joseph said the Haiti Observateur has a circulation of 40,000 for its print edition and reaches "no less than 25,000 every week" on the Internet.

Ken Moritsugu Wins AAJA Election From Bangkok
Ken Moritsugu, Bangkok-based Asia enterprise editor for the Associated Press, won a special election for vice president for print of the Asian American Journalists Association, the group announced on Tuesday. Moritsugu defeated Neal Justin, TV and media critic for the Star Tribune in Minneapolis, 133 to 114.
Asked how he would fulfill his duties from Asia, Moritsugu told Journal-isms by email, "We have three board meetings a year so I'll be flying to the US for them."
He said in a statement, ". . . As a longtime member who has led chapters in both the U.S. and Asia, I also hope to build bridges between our membership at home and overseas."
AAJA announced, ". . . Moritsugu has served on the boards of three AAJA chapters and is a former president of AAJA-New York. He is currently president of AAJA's Asia Chapter, and during his tenure the chapter has grown from 30 to 130 members and launched an annual conference with the University of Hong Kong." He is also the son of Henry Moritsugu, assistant news editor at Newsday.
"AAJA held a special election to fill the post of Vice President for Print after Tom Lee resigned from the position for personal reasons in January. Moritsugu will serve out the remainder of the term" until December, the announcement continued.
About 1,000 AAJA members were eligible to cast ballots in the election, which was held electronically from Feb. 11 to 18.
Dorothy Bland Leaving FAMU for Texas Deanship
"After two interim deans and more than a year of searching, the University of North Texas named Dorothy M. Bland dean of the university's school of journalism on Tuesday," Rachel Mehlhaff reported for the Denton (Texas) Record-Chronicle.
Bland headed the Division of Journalism at Florida A&M University from 2007 until last fall, when she stepped down from the director's position to pursue a Ph.D. A new dean, Ann Wead Kimbrough, assumed control of the School of Journalism and Graphic Communication in August.
A former publisher of the Fort Collins (Colo.) Coloradoan, Bland was one of only a handful of black female daily newspaper publishers during her career with the Gannett Co., Inc., which ended in 2005. She is a 1982 graduate of the Maynard Institute's Editing Program for Minority Journalists.
Warren Burggren, provost and vice president for academic affairs, told the Denton newspaper that Bland was the university's choice because of her experience in publishing and higher education.
"She has deep experience in both those areas," Burggren said.
FAMU saw its share of controversy in January when Kimbrough ordered the Famuan, the student newspaper, "delayed" until Jan. 30 while she implemented training for staff members.
Press-freedom groups such as the Society of Professional Journalists and the Student Press Law Center objected. Overall, the university had accreditation issues and was weathering negative publicity generated by the well-publicized hazing death of drum major Robert Champion in November 2011.

Obama Said to Use New Tricks to Shape Coverage
"President Barack Obama is a master at limiting, shaping and manipulating media coverage of himself and his White House," Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen wrote Monday for Politico.
"Not for the reason that conservatives suspect: namely, that a liberal press willingly and eagerly allows itself to get manipulated. Instead, the mastery mostly flows from a White House that has taken old tricks for shaping coverage (staged leaks, friendly interviews) and put them on steroids using new ones (social media, content creation, precision targeting). And it's an equal opportunity strategy: Media across the ideological spectrum are left scrambling for access.
"The results are transformational. With more technology, and fewer resources at many media companies, the balance of power between the White House and press has tipped unmistakably toward the government. This is an arguably dangerous development, and one that the Obama White House — fluent in digital media and no fan of the mainstream press — has exploited cleverly and ruthlessly. And future presidents from both parties will undoubtedly copy and expand on this approach. . . . "
Meanwhile, "Continuing to hunt for a political advantage in the fight over the looming sequester," Obama was scheduled Wednesday "to conduct interviews with eight local television stations in an attempt to intensify pressure on congressional Republicans," Justin Sink reported for the Hill.
The anchors included Vic Carter, news anchor for WJZ-TV, the CBS affiliate in Baltimore.

Robin Roberts Returns to "Good Morning America"
" 'Now,' Robin Roberts said to the staff of her top-rated morning show, 'Good Morning America,' right after it wrapped on Wednesday, 'we can resume regular programming,' " Brian Stelter reported Wednesday for the New York Times.
"Ms. Roberts had just made a television comeback unlike any other, as a host of the program for the first time since she was forced to leave it in August to fight a life-threatening illness. The return, promoted two weeks ahead of time by ABC, was celebrated by fans, tens of thousands of whom sent well-wishes on social networking sites. Many of them watch the program specifically for Ms. Roberts, who is, according to industry research, the most-liked host on any American morning news program by a wide margin. . . ."
New York Officials Lose Bid for "Central Park Five" Outtakes
"Ken Burns and his production company, Florentine Films, overcame efforts by New York City officials to forcibly seek the release of outtakes and footage from his recent film about five men wrongly convicted in the attack and rape of a Central Park jogger," Jack Komperda wrote Wednesday for the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press.
"Federal magistrate judge Ronald Ellis granted on Tuesday the request by the famed documentary filmmaker's team to quash the city's subpoena seeking the unpublished material from the film 'The Central Park Five,' concluding that the documentarians had demonstrated the requisite independence to be considered journalists under the reporter's privilege.
"Judge Ellis also found that New York City officials were not able to overcome the privilege by showing that the information they sought involved a significant issue in this case that was unavailable by other means.
"The film, which was released last November, depicts the experiences of five men convicted of the April 1989 attack on Trisha Meili. The men served full sentences before finally being exonerated after another person confessed to the attack. They have since filed a $250 million civil rights lawsuit against the city. . . ."
New Editor of T Magazine Regrets Lack of Diversity
"The new T magazine made an impressive start on Sunday," public editor Margaret Sullivan wrote Wednesday for the New York Times. "Thick with ads, its editorial content — including a fascinating cover story on the 79-year-old socialite Lee Radziwill — was strong.
" 'T: The Times Style Magazine' has been redesigned with a well-respected new editor, Deborah Needleman, who came to The Times recently from The Wall Street Journal.
"There was much to admire. But many readers found one aspect of the magazine disturbing — its lack of people of color. . . ."
". . . I asked Ms. Needleman to respond. She noted that the response to the magazine has been extremely positive but said she agrees with this complaint. And she intends to remedy it in future issues. She wrote:
" 'It was something I noticed and regretted as we were putting the issue together. We are a global magazine and so would like the content, subjects and geography of stories to reflect that. In coming issues, we cover the people and places of Seoul, São Paulo, Kenya, Bollywood actors, Nigeria, etc. A majority of fashion models are still unfortunately mostly white, but it is our aim to celebrate quality and beauty in all its diverse forms. We can and will aim to do better, but our goal is first and foremost to deliver the best stories we find, and it is my belief that quality and good journalism appeal to all of us regardless of our specific ethnic origins.' . . . "
Kevin Merida's Focus Wasn't Initially on History
Kevin Merida, newly promoted to managing editor at the Washington Post, and his wife, author and former Post columnist Donna Britt, were among 31 current and former journalists of color Tuesday at a Journalists Roundtable dinner in Washington. Many were Post alumni.
Merida, the first African American to become a Post managing editor, said the historic significance of his promotion took a while to sink in. As national editor, Merida said he was still focused on those duties and on family considerations when new Executive Editor Martin Baron extended the offer. Eventually, Merida said he realized that not only would he become managing editor of his hometown paper but also the breaker of a glass ceiling. When the announcement was made on Feb. 4, the flood of congratulations from colleagues, friends and acquaintances present and past confirmed the promotion's significance.
Merida said he advises young people that it is a great time to become a journalist, citing the steady creation of new positions at the Post in the digital space. He also said his lifelong familiarity with the Washington area would be part of what he brings to the managing editor's job.
In November, HuffPost BlackVoices named Merida and Britt one of eight "BV Power Couples," although, as Britt said at the time, they are "a couple that's neither glamorous, rich nor famous." This particular night, however, was Merida's.

Cross-postings from the Root

Thank you so much, Richard, for this update. You are absolutely right, not to lose sight of this matter. Now, it seems to me that Soledad will keep her ties with CNN while making a new move on her own onto the world stage as producer of documentaries. If so, this would be a very bold and innovative move in itself! Hence, her deal with CNN would allow her to gain a leverage that would allow her to pave a new way in this field that till lies fallow, especially in respect to Blacks' contributions. There is soooooo much to do at this level, that it would be a real challenge to her and her team. But I remain absolutely sanguine in regard to her ability to take it up.
For sure, the promise of such a move would be a teaching moment to many folks out there too, TheRoot.com INCLUDED! Yes, many folks would definitely start understanding that time has come to move away from our closed world to the infinite universe. And this in turn would have an impact in the long run even on our inner cities lives. Surprisingly enough, there are indeed always hidden promises and opportunities behind any systemic prejudices and racism. And it t behooves the telented tenth to discover them and open up new paths worth exploring.
This makes time number two that CNN has seen fit to replace Soledad Obrien in the morning. Here's hoping she doesn't give them a third shot. I wish her all the best as the only reason I watch CNN is her In America series. With that said, I think they're looking to go after the Morning Joe audience although I suspect once again they will bring on a host no one likes, and have to retool once again in a year or two, depending on how long the contract period is.
Talking heads come and go,,, shrug...

"driven from their homes by the disloyal Indians . . ."
Native Americans were caught between the Union and the Confederacy, and the loyalties of several tribes were split. In this letter, U.S. Commissioner of Indian Affairs, William P. Dole described the plight of a group of Creek Indians. Loyal to the Union, they were driven from their lands by Confederate forces and other Creeks sympathetic to the Confederacy. The refugees eventually fought their way to Kansas, where they faced starvation and harsh winter conditions.

Skip to comments.Bachmann Would Fight for America
Posted on 12/01/2011 6:19:14 PM PST by rabscuttle385
RUSH: Ahem. Michele Bachmann. I have said on countless occasions: She's one of the candidates that if she were to secure the nomina, if she were to be elected president of the Unites, I have not a shred of doubt that she would be fighting for this country every day, she'd be fighting for it exactly as she talks about it. If there was ever anybody who would govern as they campaign, it'd be Michele Bachmann -- and you could say that about almost every one of the Republican candidates seeking the office.
(Excerpt) Read more at rushlimbaugh.com ...
She does walk the walk.
"She does walk the walk."
Absolutely. I don't care if she overdid the forced Guardisil vaccinations attack. Not a big deal.
That's all she has is 'Would's'.
Oops! Michele Bachmann says she would close the U.S. Embassy in Iran (but there hasn't been one for 30 years)
Fight on!
There is no doubt in my mind she would. She is a trooper!
Most likely she will not be the GOP nomination but it does not diminish her patriotism.
Good point. You beat me to it.
The MB fans thought this was heading in the direction of being a semi endorsement of MB - and it turned out to simply be Rush saying - in effect - she is among the many who would be preferable to Obama.
In other words, she's not Jon Huntsman (in Rush parlance).
I love mb. She is a battle tank.
I would astonished if it did.
Did you get all goose-bumpily when she sat down and got all chummy with Moogan McCain?
But she won't fight Romney.
No, she didn't say that. That was a total fabrication by the press. She was on Mark Levin and confronted the reporter that had that printed. The paper refused to retract it.
I like Bachmann too.
Thing I like about her is her guts and tenacity. I want mb with me in the fox hole in battle. bachmann is a hell cat and is battle ready!
another thing - Bachmanm is vetted and battle tested. She is a steam roller and a scrap fighter.
bachmann is a the tip of the spear to take out Obama.
She's going to have to win though. This is why I don't take stock in polls. If she pulls off a miracle, that will shut a lot of people up. It doesn't mean I don't support Cain. I will till he's gone. But I do like Bachmann.
The press is giving her the full Sarah Palin treatment.
From many of the petty comments that have been made about her, it seems that it is the political special interests of various camps who are trying to take her down. What baggage does she have compared to all the others?
Michele Bachmann is Heartland America.
And we know where she has been all her life unlike the current resident of the White House. LOL
She's not electable, neither is Herman, Newt, Rick, or Mitt. But!
Wanna get rid of Obama? Tired of America being turned into a Communist utopia? Tired of lies and liars? Well hold on, and see if you don't reach the same epiphany I did. Never got behind Ron Paul because he is a pacifist and I believe he will let the evil people of this planet step all over him and thus run all over our America. I still think he doesn't understand that there are groups of man out there that have to be removed from civilized society. These barbarians are simply not civilized and will never get along side by side with gentlemen. They will always try to take things they don't have from those that do, by force, lies, deceit, and trickery. So why all this talk? We have one of these barbarians sleeping in our White House tonight. Things can not get any worse! Four more years of this Communist coup will destroy all we hold dear! Freedom in our great Capitalistic Republic will be dead with another term of this foreign Muslim Communist usurper. No one will stand up to this evil and arrest him for high crimes and mistermeaners, including treason. So who will be our new champion? Newt will not carry those in the middle, even though he is way far to the left, he is still hated by the independents that remember him during the Bush years. He destroyed his credibility with those on the right by failing to say he will deport all illegal aliens. Perry wants to school illegals at State Citizen rates which shows that he doesn't understand what an illegal is and he is from Texas! Any Texan knows you don't encourage the illegals by giving them anything that makes them want to enter our country illegally! The true American right will not support him for this. Mitt came up with his own version of Obamacare. So no true American Capitalist will support this man, that designs Communist social programs, to fight as hard as he can to repeal Obamacare. The others are just a joke so back to my epiphany. Is Ron Paul better than what we have today? Hell Yea! Is he electable? I think he well may be. Why? Lets look.
He is totally anti war, that's my #1 problem with him. But he's not stupid. I bet he will listen to his Admirals and Generals and if things get dangerous I bet he turns it over to them. Now here is a plus, all the old Hippies will come out in droves to support this anti war savior over the usurper they now know has started more wars than Bush. The feminists that still love the Rotten Rodham but utterly hate the foreign MAN that usurped their god given Queen, can get behind Ron because he doesn't come on as a man's man. The Hippies and the Feminists are a large voting block that no other candidate will carry. They could carry the election. Could We The People live with Ron Paul for four years. Do we have any other choice? Want four more years of your Communist future? Makes sense to me now!
On November 18, 2010, Gingrich delivered a speech before the Republican Governors Association Conference in San Diego outlining 12 steps for what he called a "Replacement of the Left" strategy. In his speech, Gingrich said that the Republican election day victories of 2009 and 2010 should be followed by further victories over the next two years that would give his party a large enough majority to replace what he called an increasingly leftist political system that has dominated American politics since 1932, largely through the influence of unelected bureaucracies. According to Gingrich, the strategy would be best pursued at the local level by lawmakers and activists in all 50 states rather than relying on leaders in Washington, D.C.[6]
He just recently said he would cut the federal government employees by 40% with hours of taking office.

45th Presidential Inauguration photo gallery
Biggest shell game in history
It is not really amazing what a combination of coercion and giveaways can accomplish in a year.
Obamacare has been a stunning success, President Barack Obama and other liberals assured Americans on Tuesday. Why, they bragged, 7 million people had signed up for it by last Monday, which at one time had been set as the last day to enroll for coverage this year.
Even knowing whether the White House is telling the truth about Obamacare is difficult. It has become the biggest shell game in political history.
Assuming the government is being honest with its numbers, an enrollment of seven million is hardly impressive. That amounts to about 2.2 percent of the U.S. population.
Many of those who signed up during the past month – about 2.8 million, according to the administration's numbers – clearly did so out of fear, not a sense of opportunity. The Obamacare law stipulates that eligible Americans who had not signed up by last Monday will pay a new tax to the Internal Revenue Service, of 1 percent of family income or at least $95 per family member.
Millions of those enrolled for Obamacare have been coerced – forced by the government – to do so, even if they do not view the insurance as a good deal.
On the other half of the equation, Obama bragged in March that his signature law had ensured another seven million people "have access" to the Medicaid program. Obamacare requires states to expand Medicaid, which provides free insurance to low-income and disabled people.
Fact-checkers in the press quickly pointed out "access" is not enrollment in Medicaid. Estimates of the number of new Medicaid clients vary between 1.1 million and 2.8 million. Only about half the states have actually begun taking new Medicaid enrollees.
Contrast the numbers and the current boast with what Obamacare proponents pledged a few years ago: Then, they said the expanded Medicaid program could cover 21.3 million Americans.
It has become clear Obamacare is among the worst failures ever recorded by the government. Yet Obama and his cronies continue to brag about it.
Again, what do their numbers represent? Millions of Americans either forced to accept Obamacare insurance or told they could have it entirely free of charge.
This is success?
