Today Is The 100th Anniversary Of Father's Day.
One hundred years ago, on June 19, 1910, the first Father's Day was celebrated in Spokane, Washington, after Sonora Dodd convinced the mayor that fathers such as hers, a widowed farmer who raised his six children, deserved their own day of recognition. Unlike]Mother's Day, people didn't immediately jump on the bandwagon. Not until 1972 did President Richard M. Nixon sign the holiday into law. It has since become a day when Americans celebrate their fathers and father-like figures, including uncles, grandfathers, and even older brothers. Father's Day is also observed world-wide, with at least 52 countries setting aside a day to honor "dear old dad."
Remember to take time today to honor God, The Father of all Mankind, who gave up his only son, Jesus Christ so that we might live!
Liberal Deceit Department: Corrupt & Fleeing Connecticut Senator Christopher Dodd helps owners of Mohegan Sun, an Indian casino that earned $1.3 billion last year, score $54 million in federal money! The Mohegan tribe, owners of the Mohegan Sun -- one of the largest (and most profitable) casinos in the country -- has secured a $54 million low interest loan funded with stimulus funds with Dodd's help. [1]
Majority oppose reelection for Obama, according to the Gallup Poll [2] and increasingly critical of oil spill disaster response. [3] Note how the article uses liberal spin to obscure this news.
For Majority of Voters, National Issues Paramount in 2010 Vote....
By 55% to 39%, more registered voters say a candidate's stand on national issues -- rather than his or her ability to help people at the district level -- is what matters more to them in voting for Congress. The percentage naming issues as the more important factor is the highest recorded on this measure in the nearly two-decade-long Gallup trend. Republicans are considerably more likely than Democrats to emphasize national issues in their assessments of candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives. Notably, the majority of political independents (57%) share Republicans' greater concern for national issues. [4]
Skipping college? Then consider this: "In 1970, only 44% of the upper class had postsecondary education. Today, 81% have postsecondary education." [5] But be sure to get your money's worthy by avoiding the worst college majors.
Hate free speech? Don't worry; your man in Washington has now begun formal proceedings to end it. [6] Liberals simply cannot take free speech of any kind unless they can control it!
Rand Paul supports the filibuster preventing the Senate from expanding the deficit with billions more in jobless payments, but the liberal media smear him again with a misleading headline: "Rand Paul to long-term jobless: Just go back to work." [7]
Government plus healthcare equals bad medicine for the citizens. Congress postpones 21% cut in Medicare reimbursements to doctors until after the November elections. This will cost taxpayers $6.5 billion. The AMA stated that the Congressional actions are too late, "About one in five physicians say they have already been forced to limit the number of Medicare patients in their practice." [8]
Democrat Mayor of Hartford, Connecticut Eddie Perez convicted of corruption. [9]
Was it really just a cop punching an innocent girl, or is there something more to it than NBC wanted to show? [10]
Nevada Leads the Nation in Unemployment Rate -- Harry Reid Is Toast. Nevada's new rate of 14% surpasses Michigan, which had held the number one spot until this week, when its unemployment rate dipped to around 13.5 percent. [11]
Governor Jan Brewer Of Arizona To Hillary: 'Bring It---We Will Win'.
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer expressed outrage Thursday over Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's comments that the Obama administration will sue over Arizona's controversial new immigration law, Arizona Senate Bill 1070 -- and Brewer said she's ready for a fight. "We are not going to back away from this issue," Brewer said. "We are going to pursue it, we're going to be very aggressive," Brewer said. "We'll meet them in court ... And we will win." She added: "The population of America agrees with Arizona." [12]
Conservatives are now virtually guaranteed to pick up the U.S. Senate seat in Arkansas: with less than 5 months to go, John Boozman opens a massive lead over liberal incumbent Blanche Lincoln: "Boozman (R) 61%, Lincoln (D) 32%." [13]
Afghan Military Members AWOL From U.S. Air Force Base. A Nationwide alert has been issued for 17 Afghanistan troops who were receiving pilot and English lessons in the U.S. before going AWOL from Texas Air Force base -- with badges that give them access secure U.S. defense installations. [14]
The political pundits are beginning to paint Obama as a weak and effete due to his mishandling of the oil crises. The Washington Post just published an article entitled New meme: Spill proves Obama isn't manly enough.[15] It appears as if Obama isn't doing any better than the weak and cowardly liberal Richard Dawkins on the manly front.
Guess who has received over $1 billion in taxpayer money over the past 7 years from Congress: abortion groups. "Pro-choice" in practice means a demand for money, but the handouts will not continue forever. [16]
What does atheism and interfaith service projects have in common? A meeting sponsored by the Obama administration's Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. [17] Does anybody find it odd that the exclusion of God is given prominence by Obama?
In the first of its high-profile, end-of-term decisions, the U.S. Supreme Court split 4-4 on whether property owners are protected against judicial takings, and upheld a Florida ruling declaring certain beachfront property to belong to the State. [18] Four Justices held that the Takings Clause protects against court rulings as well as eminent domain, while four justices wanted to defer that issue until a future case.
About a half-dozen additional big decisions will likely be rendered by the High Court in the next ten days.
Elena Kagan Silent On Saudi's $20M Harvard Gift. Typical of committed Leftists and Liberals, Kagan is only interested in embarrassing the military or undermining traditional values. Senator Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, noted Harvard University accepted a $20 million gift from Saudi Arabian Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Bin Abdulaziz in 2005 that was used to establish a center for Islamic Studies in his honor. Sessions cited an Obama State Department report that noted that homosexual acts are a crime in Saudi Arabia under Sharia law and punishable by death or flogging.
At around the same time the university was accepting the gift, Kagan, as dean of the Harvard Law School, was actively seeking to exclude military recruiters from the campus for banning gays from serving openly in the military. "Ms. Kagan was perfectly willing to obstruct the U.S. military – which has liberated countless Muslims from the hate and tyranny of Saddam Hussein and the Taliban," Sessions said. "But it seems she sat on the sidelines as Harvard created an Islamic Studies Center funded by – and dedicated to – foreign leaders presiding over a legal system that violates what would appear to be her position." Senator Sessions said. [19]
Ann Coulter: Alvin Greene: The Most Qualified Democrat I Have Ever Seen. "Greene beat Vic Rawl, a former state representative and judge, with a whopping 60 percent of the vote in last Tuesday's primary. But he does have one thing Rawl doesn't have: In the grand tradition of legendary Democrats such as Teddy Kennedy, Greene has a felony arrest. Greene's inexperience really shows here: Democrats usually wait until after they're elected to show pornography to college girls. So this is not good for the Democrats. Naturally, therefore, they're blaming Republicans." [20]
It's Official: U.S. Can't Guard Part of Mexican Border!
Obama Administration officials make 80-mile stretch of Arizona-Mexico border -- including part of national wildlife refuge -- a virtual no-man's land as violence by drug smugglers and illegals runs rampant. About 3,500 acres of southern Arizona have been closed off to U.S. citizens due to increased violence at the U.S.-Mexico border aimed at law enforcement officers and citizens alike, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
“We need support from the federal government. It’s their job to secure the border and they haven’t done it. In fact, President Obama suspended the construction of the fence and it’s just simply outrageous.” said Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu. [21]
Professor values strike again: The "biology professor charged with killing three of her colleagues at an Alabama university has been indicted in the 1986 shooting death of her brother in Massachusetts." Found in her room at the time was a newspaper article telling how a teenager killed the tavern-owning parents of a Hollywood celebrity, and then stole a getaway car from a dealership, as she reportedly sought after she killed. [22] Survival of the fittest?
What Do ObamaCare, Atheism and the U.K.'s National Health Have In Common?
A suicidal man who suffered from an agonizing skin condition jumped to his death from a bridge after motorists shouted 'jump', an inquest heard. Paul Cowling, 59, told officers he wanted to kill himself because of the horrendous skin condition which health services refused to treat. Described as a 'gentle recluse', the inquest heard Mr. Cowling told a police officer the skin condition left him unable to eat and the only things he could bear to put in his mouth were ice cubes. [23]
Obama's real intentions for last night's speech: improving his popularity: [24]
Voting more than once is STILL ILLEGAL, but since when do liberals care about that law? [25]
News Record reports concerning ObamaCare: "The feedback from small business owners is clear – they want the National Federation of Independent Business, the nation’s leading small business advocacy organization, to do something. That’s why we’ve joined 20 states in the federal lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the recently passed healthcare law...
Plainly and simply, the federal government has gone too far with this law, directly infringing on small business owners’ abilities to manage the day-to-day operations of their businesses. The individual and employer mandates, combined with the onslaught of new taxes, paperwork requirements and new rules, will dramatically increase the cost of starting and running a small business. And while there are a few provisions that may benefit a limited number of small businesses, the overall effect of the law will do much more harm to small businesses than good."[26]
80% Rate A Two-Parent Home Very Important for Children.
Seventy-two percent of Adults agree that children who grow up in a home with both parents have an advantage over children whose parents are divorced. Only 15% disagree. [27]
SmallGovTimes reports: "46 percent of those surveyed told Gallup they approved of the job Obama was doing as president, while 46 percent said they disapproved. In its analysis of the poll results, Gallup points out that equals the lowest weekly approval rating Obama has received since his inauguration."[28]
Rasmussen Reports released a poll today showing Obama's approval rating hitting a new low -- 42%.
Meanwhile, Louisiana voters think George W. Bush did a better job handling the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina than President Barack Obama has done in the wake of the BP oil spill, according to a new poll done by a Democrat-owned firm. [29]
FACT CHECK: Obama Inflates Hopes in Spill Recovery, Ignores The Facts & History. In assuring Americans on Tuesday that BP won't control the compensation fund for Gulf oil spill recovery, Barack Obama failed to mention that the government won't control it, either. That means it's anyone's guess whether the government can, in fact, make BP pay all costs related to the spill. Obama aimed high in his prime-time Oval Office address -- higher than the facts support and history teaches -- as he promised to restore livelihoods and nature from the still-unfolding calamity in the Gulf of Mexico. [30]
Obama reads to the nation from a teleprompter in the Oval Office, his first presentation from that room, and oddly calls the oil spill an "epidemic". Does he think it is contagious? Obama imposes a six-month ban on deepwater drilling in U.S. waters, disrupting thousands of jobs, which he claims is "for the sake of their safety." [31]
Britain apologizes, says it was wrong for the "Bloody Sunday" killings in 1972 against demonstrators in Northern Ireland. [32]
Obama's reckless spending is now too much...even for Democrats, who balk at his bailout plan for laid off local government (Democratic) workers. [33]
Translation: It's less than 5 months until Election Day, when House Democrats face all voters at Obamageddon.
Winston Churchill's Cigar Is Airbrushed Out By Atheistic, Politically Correct British. An iconic photo of the former prime minister that sits perched atop the entrance to a World War II museum in London was airbrushed by an unknown censor, removing the wartime chief's signature stogie from the picture. "Viewing the now disfigured image reveals just how unhinged the vociferous anti-smoking lobby has become. So much for the notion that only communist tyrants airbrushed history." said a museum visitor. [34]
Evidence for so-called dark energy and dark matter is lacking: a team of astronomers at Durham University (UK) has re-examined some of the data from NASA's Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe and found that the reported "acceleration effect" that is "due" to dark energy is nothing more than an error of measurement. [35]
The pro-life-Tea Party alliance wins another huge upset: the millionaire publisher and party official Diane Gooch concedes defeat to Anna Little for the Republican nomination in the sixth congressional district of NJ. [36][37]
Brent Bozell: "A new Rasmussen poll found an astonishing two thirds of American voters are at least somewhat angry at the media, including an entire one third who said they are ‘very angry.’ ... The liberal media lost touch with the public and fair reporting long ago, and Americans are sick of their lavish praise for a President that is leading our country and economy into a disastrous state. The American people are abandoning the old media by the millions because they are simply fed up.”
Now is the time for the national, so-called "news" media to Tell The Truth! and report the facts. The American people are furious and are demanding answers. [38]
Facebook is affecting the Pro-life movement in positive way. The social media leader has seen a big trend, ultrasound pics of the baby make it to their website. The spread of pictures like ultrasound images, which has shown to influence pregnant mothers to keep their child has also been shown to influence people to become more pro-life. [39]
John Holdren, Obama's "Science Czar" whose has made statements like calling to "de-develop the United States," declined to be interviewed by CNS News about his past work by saying, "If you read it and you have a problem, you’re misreading it." [40]
The slim and disciplined Germans are financially bailing out the obese Greek population.[41][42] Perhaps, if more Greeks tightened their belts and spent more time working rather than lounging on their couches eating assorted snacks, Greece would find it easier to pay back their creditors! The highly disciplined South Koreans have a low unemployment rate and a low obesity rate.[43][44]
Leading trend forecaster Gerald Celente declares: "We have losers leading us."[45]
The NRA angers part of its membership by endorsing the candidate whom it once gave a poor grade: John McCain. [46] J.D. Hayworth enjoys the endorsement of the more consistent Gun Owners of America.
Hard Economic Times? Not For Nancy Pelosi.
Her New 3,000 Square Foot District Office Costs $18,736 a Month !
There isn't some gouging landlord either....she rents from the Federal Government. The next highest monthly office rent belongs to Rep. Jerrold Nadler - (D), who occupies an office in a federal building in Manhattan’s very trendy SoHo neighborhood for just under $10,600. [47]
Another puppet of the abortion industry is uncovered: the pathetic Charlie Crist. He vetoed a bill that would have enabled women to see an ultrasound of their unborn child before having an abortion. [48] Nearly 80% of women who see their ultrasound then decide against having an abortion.
Happy Flag Day An official act of the Continental Congress on June 14, 1777: "Resolved That the Flag of the United States be 13 stripes alternate red and white, that the Union be 13 stars, white in a blue field representing a new constellation." [49]
Microsoft's Bing search engine honors Flag Day [50] In contrast to Google, [51] they give it no honor and Google has given Sputnik more significance than Flag Day.
The True Face Of Bullying Liberals - Congressman Attacks Student.
Bob Etheridge, a Democrat from North Carolina, is seen in a amateur video grabbing the wrist and neck of the unidentified youngman after he approached the congressman and asked if he supported the "Obama agenda." [52] & [53]
39% in 2008 ... 46% in 2009 ... and now 49% of "Americans Say Obama, Pro-Abortion Democrats Too Liberal." [54]
Apparently $1.6 trillion isn't a big-enough deficit for Obama this year; he wants to add another $80 billion to it: [55]
At 10 am (ET) this Monday morning, the U.S. Supreme Court issued decisions and orders as it nears the end of its term. UPDATE: The Court did not render decisions in its most high-profile cases, but scheduled Thursday morning for further announcements. 24 cases are expected to be resolved by the Court before it adjourns for the summer. [56]
U.S. Discovers $1 Trillion+ In Afghanistan Mineral Deposits!
A team of U.S. geologists and Pentagon officials has discovered vast mineral wealth in Afghanistan, conceivably enough to turn the scarred and impoverished country into one of the world's most lucrative mining centers. The untapped mineral deposits include iron, copper, cobalt, gold and critical industrial metals like lithium. A Pentagon memo says Afghanistan could become the "Saudi Arabia of lithium," a key raw material in the manufacture of batteries for laptops and cell phones. [57]
Nancy Pelosi As God's Emissary? House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s recent claim to be enacting the Word of God in her socialist legislative steamrolling is a rerun of the Social Gospel heresy that befell American Christianity around 1870. [58]
Is the EU's Future Deutschland Über Alles? [59]
The "outsiders" were in at the Washington state Republican Convention. Candidates who align themselves with the Tea Party Movement and conservative causes were getting long and lengthy ovations. "It's time we the people had the courage and fortitude to take our country back," U.S. Senate candidate Clint Didier told the gathering Saturday. "When I get to D.C., there's going to be hell to pay. It's time to fight our way back to the Light, to the Truth, to the Lord God Almighty." [60]
The move to break up Belgium has gathered momentum. Separatists have won an emphatic election victory in Flanders, the prosperous Dutch-speaking half of the fiercely divided nation. Modern day Belgium is divided between Dutch-speaking Flanders, which is more populous and prosperous, and Wallonia, the more economically disadvantaged, French-speaking southern portion. Symbolically division would also be a big event since Brussels hosts the headquarters of the European Union and NATO. [61]
Wonder what holds men's soccer back in the U.S.? A mindless feminist quota limits men in sports to the relative percentage of men in the classroom, despite men having far greater interest in sports. The result is that only 59% of Division I colleges have men's soccer. Meanwhile 93% of Division I colleges offer women's soccer. [62]
"Tea Partiers Sharron Angle, Rand Paul to Get Embrace of National GOP Leaders." [63]
Carly Fiorina won the nomination by a landslide on Tuesday by ridiculing Barbara Boxer's absurd support of Mann-made global warming. Carly's TV ad disparaged global warming falsehoods as referring to the "weather". [64]
"Kagan Took Lead Role in Fight Over Abortion Limits, Papers Show." [65] But why isn't FoxNews covering this story?
Obama Takes a Hard Line Against Leaks to Press, In Spite Of Promising Transparency.
In 17 months in office, President Obama has already outdone every previous president in pursuing leak prosecutions. The Obama administration has taken actions that might have provoked sharp political criticism for his predecessor, George W. Bush, who was often in public fights with the press. Yet the Obama obsequious, slobbering press has remained mostly silent. [66]

Entering From Stage Left, Misogynist Bill Clinton Takes Aim At Sharron Angle In Nevada.
In full panic mode, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, running behind Angle 39% to her 50%, has dispatched the discredited Clinton to bully the come-from-behind GOP candidate. Given Angle has the full support of the Tea Party Movement, Clinton has his work cut out for him. Reid is viewed as among the most vulnerable Democrats running for reelection this cycle and currently has an approval rating of only 35% in his state, according to a recent Mason-Dixon Poll.
Look for Bill Clinton and Harry Reid to set new lows in sleazy, attack-politics soon. [68] -- [69]

Elena Kagan Supported Policy of Reverse Discrimination, Clinton Documents Reveal. Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan resolutely supported “non-remedial affirmative action,” also known as reverse discrimination, when she served in the Clinton Justice Department, according to a 1997 document buried in the more than 100,000 pages released from the Clinton Library last week. [77]
65% Say U.S. Better Off If Most in Congress Defeated This November. 41% say a group of people selected at random from the phone book would do a better job addressing the nation’s problems than the current Congress. Still, while hoping incumbents get defeated, only 42% of all voters say there will be a noticeable change in the lives of most Americans if the Republicans recapture control of Congress from the Democrats. Americans hunger for Character, Values and Common Sense is why. [78]

Ben Bernanke recently testified before Congress and declared he was "puzzled" why the price of gold is going up.VIDEO The reason is obvious. The Obama administration has a reckless monetary policy and a reckless fiscal policy and the financial markets are worried about stagflation.

Obama's birth certificate may not even exist at all. Said a former Hawaii elections clerk "I had direct access to the Social Security database, the national crime computer, state driver's license information, international passport information, basically just about anything you can imagine to get someone's identity. I could look up what bank your home mortgage was in. I was informed by my boss that we did not have a birth record." [87]

Obama Handing 2010 Midterm Elections To Conservatives ?
President Obama kicked off a big push to promote his $1 trillion ObamaCare scheme today, in the face of overwhelming public opposition. A Rasmussen Reports poll out yesterday shows that 58% of likely voters want to repeal the unpopular law. [110]
The U.K. Based Reuters Admits Cropping Photos of Ship Clash. The news agency has been stung for the second time by charges that it edited politically sensitive photos in a way that casts Israel in a bad light. In one photo, an Israeli commando is shown lying on the deck of the ship, surrounded by activists. The uncut photo shows the hand of an unidentified activist holding a knife. But in the Reuters photo, the hand is visible but the knife has been edited out. Not surprising in a once great country now overtaken by secularism and moral relativism [111]
When it comes to basic economics, liberals and Democrats are not smarter than a 5th grader: [112] Are you sure you want them controlling the nation's purse strings?
Nancy Pelosi Shouted Down From The Left. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was drowned out by disability activists at her speech at a progressive gathering. The activists stood up and began shouting shortly after Pelosi took the stage, and they did not stop until she completed her speech more than 30 minutes later. A second group of protesters, anti-Israel radicals, also held a banner — right in front of the stage — which read "Stop funding Israel terror." In a reality-defying statement, the disconnected Speaker made this surreal statement: "President Obama and the Democratic Caucus have saved this country from a financial crisis created under the Bush administration,". [113]
Obama To Reopen Offshore Oil Drilling -- Angry Liberal Firestorm Erupts.

Democrats Skip Town Halls to Avoid Voter Rage. With images of overheated, finger-waving crowds still seared into their minds from the discontent of last August, most Democrats heeded the advice of party leaders and tried to avoid unscripted question-and-answer sessions this Memorial Day recess.

None Dare Call It Treason? - - United States Soldier Busted for Leaking to WikiLeaks.
Army officials apprehended an intelligence analyst accused of releasing classified military information to the self-proclaimed "whistle-blowing" website, WikiLeaks. The military said today that Specialist Bradley Manning, 22, of Potomac, Maryland is being held in pre-trial confinement in Kuwait.

Obama Breaks Whale Promise. Environmentalists, already peeved with the administration’s handling of the Gulf oil spill, are accusing President Obama of breaking his campaign pledge to end the slaughter of whales. Barack Obama is leading an effort within the International Whaling Commission to lift a 24-year international ban on commercial whaling for Japan, Norway and Iceland. [135]
In a canned radio address, the clueless and lazy Obama tries to deflect criticism from himself for failing to address the oil spill crisis and pretending he's a rock star with Paul McCartney at the White House. Rather than help plug the well, Obama "talked about Floyd Lasseigne, a fourth-generation oyster fisherman, and Terry Vegas, who quit the eighth grade to become a shrimper with his grandfather." [136]
The Vatican has offered to debate atheist and agnostics, but high profile militant atheists such as Richard Dawkins will not be invited.[137]
Conservapedia predicts that Richard Dawkins will not challenge the head of any large Christian body to a debate this year concerning the resurrection of Jesus Christ because he lacks the courage to do so and because the evidence for the resurrection of Jesus Christ is so compelling.
Atheist lawyers may try to keep Christians from expressing their faith in schools, but no prominent atheist lawyer has ever written a scholarly legal work attempting to challenge the evidence for the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Gaza Flotilla Group Part of U.N. NGO Branch !
The Pro-Palestinian Turkish group involved in Israel flotilla supports radical Islamic networks and is member of a hard-to-access U.N. group, and is less a charity than it is a radical group.

Destroying Our Freedom:
Obama Journalism 'Reinvention' Smacks of Dangerous Government Control; Liberal Power Grab.
A list of potential policy recommendations to reinvent the field of journalism that has been compiled by the Federal Trade Commission is a "dangerous" overreach of power and a waste of taxpayer funds. Among the numerous proposals mentioned in the document are:
- Creation of a "journalism" division of AmeriCorps, Barack Obama's "civilian army", that places 75,000 young people with local and national nonprofit activist groups annually;
- Tax credits to news organizations for every journalist employed;
- Vouchers, which "would allow every American tax payer to allocate some amount of government funds to the non-profit media organization" of their choice;
- Increased funding for public radio and television;
- Providing grants to universities to conduct "investigative journalism". [152]

One of President Barack Obama's top advisers suggested to a Colorado Democrat that he forgo a primary challenge to Senator Michael Bennet and instead apply for one of three international development jobs. The disclosure came just days after the White House admitted orchestrating a job offer in the Pennsylvania Senate race.

Liberal Values Department: Los Angeles Schools Join in Arizona Bashing. The city's very liberal school district wants its students to be taught that Arizona's new immigration law is Un-American !
The school board voted unanimously on Tuesday to “express outrage” and “condemnation” of the law, and it called on the school superintendent to look into curtailing economic support to the Grand Canyon State. About 73% of the students in the beleaguered school district are Latino. According to its press release, "The Los Angeles Board of Education also requested that Superintendent Ramon Cortines ensure that civics and history classes discuss the recent laws with students in the context of the American values of unity, diversity and equal protection for all people.” [164]
Ex-Florida GOP Chairman, An Ally Of Now Independent Charlie Crist, Charged With Felony Theft.

"Who Will Live In Tipper And Al Gore’s New $8.875 Million Montecito, Calif. Home?" [182]
Al Gore won a Nobel Prize and up to perhaps $100 million for insisting that global warming was occurring, and that man was to blame. Will Tipper walk away with up to $50 million now?
Global warming-alarmists are on the run. When their "facts" wither away under scrutiny and their excuses in support of it are reduced to the tired cliche "but everyone knows it's true," their case is finished. [183]
Illegal Immigrant Crime Spree in Washington State. One woman is dead and two others were raped recently and police say each crime was committed by a different illegal immigrant. One of the sexual assaults happened just hours before the very liberal Seattle city council passed an ordinance boycotting Arizona over its new immigration law. Washington State ranks 11th in the nation in the number of illegal immigrants with an estimated 150,000. They make up 2% of the state's population, but account for 4.5% of those in Washington prisons. In Franklin county, 14% of the jail bookings are illegal immigrants. There are about 50,000 felony warrants currently issued in Washington State and according to a source in the U.S. Marshall's office between 30-40 percent are believed to be illegal immigrants. [184]
Torrent of liberal claptrap follows today's announcement of Al and Tipper Gore's marriage breakup.

Investor Marc Faber, who is famous for warning his clients about the 1987 stock market crash, declares he is 100% positive America will go into a hyperinflationary period. Faber told Bloomsberg Television in Hong Kong that inflation will approach levels seen in the African country of Zimbabwe because the Federal Reserve will be reluctant to raise interest rates.[190]

THE EUROPEAN UNION WILL COME APART...
The inevitable outcome of the Greek financial crisis – soon to be followed by comparable events in Portugal, Spain and probably Italy – will be the collapse of the Euro and a sharp halt in the momentum for European integration. Once again we see how values matter. The United States was founded upon ideals, morality, a belief in God and the rights He gave us. The EU is godless and founded as a economic device, and therefore doomed to failure until Europeans recognize Freedom comes from God, not men. [194]
Yet Another Obama Strike-Out: 60% Now Favor Repeal of ObamaCare. This is the second straight week to find support for repeal of the bill at 60% or above.

Whether we look to the first Charter of Virginia or the Charter of New England or the Charter of Massachusetts Bay or the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut, the same objective is present – a Christian land governed by Christian principles" is peppered with condemnation, until the libs doing the condemning discover that the words came from the pen of another liberal, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Earl Warren.

Remembering Memorial Day
Originally, the holiday was known as "Decoration Day." It was started by a Civil War general named John Logan, who was the Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic. General John Logan sought a way to help the country come back together after the horrors and divide of the Civil War.
The holiday was first observed on May 30, 1868, and Gen. Logan chose that date for two very important reasons: First, the day did not mark the anniversary of a Civil War battle, and second "flowers would likely be in bloom all over the United States." Indeed, many took flowers to Arlington National Cemetery, an activity that still occurs every year. [204]

A Kansas City news organization reports concerning the Gulf of Mexico oil spill:
"A litany of half-truths, withholding crucial video, blocking media access to the site, and failing to share timely and complete information about efforts to contain the largest oil spill in U.S. history have created the widespread impression that BP is suppressing the facts about the April 20 oil rig blowout in the Gulf of Mexico, if not misleading the public and the government.
The government has been little better, for weeks blindly accepting BP’s estimates of the size of the spill, all but powerless to force the company to curb its use of toxic chemical dispersants and ignoring warnings from its own officials about possible worker safety violations."[207]
Peggy Noonan, the voice of several ex-presidents weighs in on the Gulf oil spill disaster:
- The American people have spent at least two years worrying that high government spending would, in the end, undo the republic. They saw the dollars gushing night and day...now we have a videotape metaphor for all the public’s fears...You actually don’t get deadlier as a metaphor for the moment than that...[the president's] philosophy is that it is appropriate for the federal government to occupy a more burly, significant and powerful place in America...Then the oil spill came and government could not do the job...

SESTAK SCANDAL GROWS...AND STILL STINKS. The idea was to immunize Obama and Rahm Emanuel from possible criminal prosecution by using Bill Clinton, not a government employee, as a cut out and to keep the offer to an unpaid job in hopes of not running afoul of the federal bribery statute. But these evasions will not blunt the force of the law. If Clinton acted at Emanuel’s request, he was his agent and the Chief of Staff is still on the hook. And, an unpaid position is still “something of value” within the meaning of the bribery statute which prohibits the offering of something of value in return for an action. [222]
Census Bureau numbers provide smoke and mirrors for the Obama administration. [223] Last week, one of the millions of workers hired by Census 2010 to parade around the country counting Americans blew the whistle on some statistical tricks. New York Post recounts the phony job count "For the past two months the hiring by Census has made up a good portion of the new jobs." [224] Maybe now we understand why Obama wanted ACORN to do this work.
