Myth — Ron Paul can’t win

2011-12-04T13:44:00.001-08:00

Call it the Caucus Mythbusters edition of the Iowa Poll. It’s a good time to review some of the conventional wisdom, truisms and theories about the Iowa caucus campaign and see how they are holding up.

The Texas congressman’s support has risen slowly and steadily with each new Iowa Poll. He’s leading with young caucusgoers, independents, moderates and liberals, which isn’t terribly surprising. Paul is continuing to grow by bringing new people into the process. With new caucusgoers, he’s at 19 percent, just 1 point behind Gingrich. Likely caucusgoers consider him the most fiscally responsible, at 32 percent, and 24 percent say he’s the most principled. He has some challenges: 19 percent say he’s most negative, and he’s the second choice of only 7 percent. His Iowa campaign is more seasoned than Gingrich’s, but he’ll need that edge to deliver younger and less-experienced caucusgoers on Jan. 3.

New York Times: We Stopped Calling Waterboarding 'Torture' Because The Bush Administration Didn't Approve

2010-07-01T15:22:00.000-07:00

Jason Linkins
jason@huffingtonpost.com

Yesterday, we made note of a new study from the Kennedy School of Government that found that America's major newspapers, after decades of reliably and accurately referring to waterboarding as torture, suddenly stopped doing so around 2002, when America started waterboarding people like the dickens! Adam Serwer offered this comment on the matter:

As soon as Republicans started quibbling over the definition of torture, traditional media outlets felt compelled to treat the issue as a "controversial" matter, and in order to appear as though they weren't taking a side, media outlets treated the issue as unsettled, rather than confronting a blatant falsehood. To borrow John Holbo's formulation, the media, confronted with the group think of two sides of an argument, decided to eliminate the "think" part of the equation so they could be "fair" to both groups.

Well, today Yahoo's Michael Calderone has comment from a New York Times spokesman, who -- while maintaining that the Times's official position is that the study is "misleading" -- nevertheless comes right out and confirms that they are in fact precisely the unrescueable cowards that Adam Serwer says they are:

By Oskar Garcia, Associated Press

LAS VEGAS — Celine Dion is returning to the Las Vegas Strip in 2011 to begin a three-year run at Caesars Palace.

The Grammy award-winning singer announced Wednesday she'll return to the 4,300-seat Colosseum, home of her previous show, A New Day. It grossed more than $400 million and was seen by nearly 3 million fans over five years before closing in December 2007.

The new show begins March 15, 2011, with tickets for the first 54 performances going on sale Friday. Officials say ticket prices will range from $55 to $250 before taxes and fees. Read More....

John F. Sullivan had always wondered about his mother, Leonor E.

Dems, GOP, warily eye issue of gays in military

2010-02-03T18:00:00.000-08:00

By CHARLES BABINGTON
The Associated Press
Wednesday, February 3, 2010; 7:42 PM

WASHINGTON -- For many lawmakers, "don't ask, don't tell" makes a lot of sense - for themselves. Ten months before elections, neither party sees much to gain in stirring up the once-volatile issue of letting gays serve openly in the military. Any candidate who isn't laser-focused on jobs is making a big mistake, strategists from both parties said Wednesday, noting that public support for gay rights has grown substantially in recent years.

Only a decade or so ago, if the Pentagon and White House had suggested such a policy change, it probably would have triggered public outcries similar to those that tripped up Bill Clinton in 1993 and led to the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" compromise. Read More....

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. -- Motivational speaker James Arthur Ray was arrested Wednesday afternoon on three counts of manslaughter for deaths that happened after a sweat lodge ceremony he led in northern Arizona last year. Ray was taken into custody on an indictment at his attorney's office in Prescott, and was to be booked into the Yavapai County jail in Camp Verde, sheriff's officials said. His bond was set at $5 million.

Ray's attorneys said Wednesday he surrendered to authorities but that the charges were unjust and they were confident he would be exonerated in court. Read the full story....

Reality show celebrities reappear on The Alex Jones Show for second discussion on the Sept. 11th inside job.

AUSTIN, Texas, July 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Reality TV celebs Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag spoke to broadcaster Alex Jones on his nationally syndicated radio/TV show, "The Alex Jones Show," about how Alex's video documentaries had awakened them to alleged government-sponsored terrorism, microchips, and the New World Order.

Pratt and Montag pored over Jones' prolific work, waking up to the charade of a two party system and other deceptions being perpetrated on the American public. They were particularly impressed with Alex Jones' films "Endgame" and "TerrorStorm" that outline the global elitists' plan for total domination and a global police state.

City government mobilizes to swat down signs critical of mayor

That's what happened Wednesday. Crews from the city's Department of Public Works fanned out across downtown to try to remove more than 200 signs that popped up like a bright orange rash on utility poles.

They didn't name Syracuse Mayor Matt Driscoll, but they said: You got your raise, mayor, now do your job. Mayor Doolittle. Read More....

Many well known and respected senior U.S. military officers, intelligence services and law enforcement veterans, and government officials have expressed significant criticism of the 9/11 Commission Report or have made public statements that contradict the Report. Several even allege government complicity in the terrible acts of 9/11. This page of the website is a collection of their statements. The website does not represent any organization and it should be made clear that none of these individuals are affiliated with this website.

Listed below are statements by more than 200 of these senior officials. Their collective voices give credibility to the claim that the 9/11 Commission Report is tragically flawed. These individuals cannot be simply dismissed as irresponsible believers in some 9/11 conspiracy theory. Their sincere concern, backed by their decades of service to their country, demonstrate that criticism of the Report is not irresponsible, illogical, nor disloyal, per se.

The story behind Labor Day

2009-09-06T21:00:00.001-07:00

by Claudine Zap
Sep 4, 2009

For most of us, Labor Day means backyard barbecues, weekend sales, and a last carefree day before school starts. But the laid-back holiday has some seriously sad history, including chaos, riots, and even death. Let us explain.

A tragic tale
Back in the days of the Industrial Revolution, workers were expected to put in 12-hour days, seven days a week (yes, including kids). Already sounds awful, right? It gets worse. In Pullman, Illinois, a company town that employed and housed workers to build posh railway cars, times had gotten tough. In response, George Pullman cut jobs and wages. It was 1893. Thousands of workers walked off their jobs in protest, demanding higher salaries and lower rents. Other unions joined, refusing to work the Pullman cars, turning the small-town fracas into a national fury.

With mail cars backing up, and riots worrying train execs, President Grover Cleveland stepped in. He declared the strike illegal and sent 12,000 troops to break the strike. Cue brutal protests and bloodshed. The strike was broken, but so was the spirit of the workers. To reach out to the labor movement, Congress rushed the national holiday into law. The bad will resulted in Cleveland losing re-election. But the day off for hot dogs endures.

When is it?
Labor Day falls on the first Monday of September. This year, that would be Monday, September 7. According to the Department of Labor, Congress passed an act in 1894 making the first Monday in September of each year a legal holiday.

So, working stiffs everywhere, say it now, with feeling: Happy Labor Day.

RAND advises pharmaceutical company on strategies in vaccinating low-income students

Jeffry John Aufderheide

August 26, 2009

(vactruth.com) The pieces of the pandemic puzzle are coming together as the H1N1 Swine Flu hysteria is reaching new heights. A largely uncovered white paper published by RAND Corporation in March of 2009, sponsored by pharmaceutical giant Sanofi Pasteur, identifies parental consent laws, medical homes, and lack of access to medical records as main barriers “for immunizing low-income adolescents.” The solution proposed to Sanofi Pasteur? Turn schools into a vaccine wonderland.

The triad of barriers to mass-vaccinate adolescents which were identified in RAND Corp’s white paper are:

1. Parental Consent Laws

2. Absence of a reliable Medical Home

3. Access to vaccine registration information

There are many relevant quotes throughout the white-paper to support this claim. Here are just a few… Read More

I am a voting member in your district. I am without health insurance and am taking a very active roll in the current discussion of health care for all Americans.

I do not like HR 3200 in its current form as it is currently written. I think a much easier and more fair bill is HR 676. I fully support the Single Payer option instead of letting the Health Insurance Industry and Health Insurance Lobby have control in the decision of health insurance coverage for all American citizens.

Will you look into and support HR 676?

Please take a look at the two websites for a better understanding of this option

BA and Virgin to stop suspected swine flu victims from flying

2009-07-21T02:25:00.000-07:00

Airlines offer guidance to check-in staff to help them prevent customers boarding flights if they appear to have the virus

Passengers with swine flu will be stopped from boarding flights, two major airlines confirmed today, as the Department of Health warned tourists who contract the illness abroad not to travel home until their symptoms have gone.

Both British Airways and Virgin Atlantic said they had provided check-in staff and cabin crew with guidance on how to act if they believe a passenger is unwell. Medical advice would be taken to assess the condition of passengers exhibiting symptoms, including having a headache, sore throat, runny nose, and aching muscles.

Virgin Atlantic said those suffering from the condition would be prevented from flying until they could provide a fit-to-fly certificate from their doctor or a hospital.

The new measures come at the height of the summer tourist season, with thousands of families either already on holiday or about to go. Read Full Story.....

FEMA: National Level Exercise 2009 (NLE 09)

2009-04-23T21:49:00.000-07:00

National Level Exercise 2009 (NLE 09) is scheduled for July 27 through July 31, 2009. NLE 09 will be the first major exercise conducted by the United States government that will focus exclusively on terrorism prevention and protection, as opposed to incident response and recovery.

NLE 09 is designated as a Tier I National Level Exercise. Tier I exercises (formerly known as the Top Officials exercise series or TOPOFF) are conducted annually in accordance with the National Exercise Program (NEP), which serves as the nation's overarching exercise program for planning, organizing, conducting and evaluating national level exercises.

U.S. jobless rate hits 25-year high

2009-03-06T09:17:00.000-08:00

By Lucia Mutikani

The U.S. unemployment rate hit a 25-year high of 8.1 percent last month as employers buckling under the strain of a severe recession axed 651,000 jobs, government data showed on Friday.

Adding to the gloom, a combined 161,000 more jobs were lost in January and December than previously believed, the Labour Department said. Since the start of the recession in December 2007, the economy has shed 4.4 million jobs, with more than half purged in the last four months alone.

Destroyed CIA tapes said to have been stored in Thailand

2009-03-06T09:11:00.000-08:00

Thailand’s army commander has denied allegations that Washington had a secret jail in Thailand where al-Qaeda suspects were interrogated.

It follows confirmation by the Central intelligence Agency that it destroyed 92 tapes of interviews with suspects.

The tapes – destroyed four years ago – were held in a safe in Thailand.

The footage is believed to have documented the interrogation and mistreatment of two leading al-Qaeda suspects at a Thai military base.

Bill To Make Mexican ID Official

2009-03-06T09:02:00.000-08:00

A pair of lawmakers in the nation’s most populous state has introduced legislation that would allow easily forged Mexican identification cards—popular among illegal immigrants—to be accepted as an official form of ID.

The California Democrats, a state senator from the south and an assemblyman from the north, want the Mexican Matricula Consular cards to carry the same weight as a U.S. government-issued identification—such as a Department of Motor Vehicle drivers license or a State Department passport—for business transactions.

Under their proposed bill, all notaries in the Golden State would accept the controversial Mexican cards as valid identification for executing property transfers and other official transactions.

The National Notary Association opposes any legislation that would permit its 50 million members to rely solely on the Mexcian cards to verify a person’s identity. The group points out that the FBI has deemed the Matricula an unreliable form of identification with no viable security features.

Only one state (Nevada) allows public notaries to accept the Mexican cards as official identification but several major U.S. banks—Wells Fargo and Bank of America, among them—have for years accepted them to open accounts. The Mexican cards have also been used by millions of illegal immigrants to obtain fraudulent home mortgages, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

From Sandra Fabry

From the Center for Fiscal Accountability's vote alert urging Members of the U.S. Senate to reject the Omnibus Bill:

The package – which for the most part was crafted behind closed doors – contains a whopping $410 billion in spending, amounting to an over 8% increase over 2008 spending levels.

Americans For Tax Reform

All it takes is a stroke of the pen – and Congress spends $150,000,000 more of your money.

When Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid rushed the “stimulus” package through Congress, many were outraged by the harried and secret nature of the negotiations.

However, the haste with which they proceeded, and the version of the bill they finally posted online, gives taxpayers an opportunity to understand just how easy it is for Congress to spend your money. In this case, $850,000,000 magically became $1,000,000,000 with the mere stroke of an anonymous staffer’s pen. Below is the actual image from Title X, Page 19:

Kentucky Residents: Help Stop a Tax Increase in Your State!

2009-02-22T14:49:00.000-08:00

The Kentucky Legislature is right now considering legislation that would increase the excise taxes on cigarettes, beer, wine, and liquor in order to help eliminate a $456 million budget deficit.

While such “sin” taxes have proven politically popular across the country, time and again history has shown that raising excise taxes does not produce projected revenue. Of the 57 excise tax increases that states implemented between 2003 and 2007, only 16 met or exceeded revenue targets. As just one example, when New Jersey increased its cigarette tax in 2006, instead of gaining a projected $30 million in revenue, the state lost more than $22 million! Read More....

Judges In Maryland Told Not To Ask About Immigration Status

Judges in Maryland have been told by the Maryland Judicial Ethics Committee that they are not allowed to ask defendants their immigration status. This includes during bond hearings...

I mean that sounds good to me. It's not like an illegal alien posting bond is going to flee the country or move somewhere else in the United States and use false ID. That type of stuff never happens. After all it's only happened about 700,000 times (the number of fugitive illegal aliens currently in the US). And it's not ethical to defend those lawfully in the United States from those unlawfully here after all...

"Surge Two" - Mexico violence

By George W. Grayson

Escalating violence highlighted by decapitations, torture, and kidnappings plagues Mexicans, with drug cartel hit men and run-of-the-mill thugs generally targeting their victims. Money, revenge, ransom, extortion, access to drugs, and turf battles often explain these heinous activities. On September 15, 2008, however, a major act of terrorism took place for the first time. Around 11 p.m., as thousands of revelers celebrated the country’s Independence Day in Morelia, miscreants heaved fragmentation grenades into the crowd. When the smoke cleared, eight people lay dead, and more than 100 men, women, and children suffered wounds. TV networks beamed video footage of the blood-drenched scene to unbelieving viewers across the country. Read More....

Hillary Pleads with China: Buy Our Debt

2009-02-22T13:31:00.001-08:00

BEIJING -- U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton wants China to continue investing in the United States because the two countries' financial futures are closely tied together.

"I certainly do think that the Chinese government and central bank are making a smart decision by continuing to invest in Treasury bonds," she said during an interview Sunday with the popular talk show "One on One.""It's a safe investment. The United States has a well-deserved financial reputation."

To boost the economy, the U.S has to incur more debt, she said, shortly before departing for Washington. "It would not be in China's interest if we were unable to get our economy moving," Clinton said. "So by continuing to support American Treasury instruments, the Chinese are recognizing our interconnection. We are truly going to rise or fall together. We are in the same boat and, thankfully, we are rowing in the same direction.

Illegal aliens threaten U.S. medical system

Docs journal reports hospitals being closed, previously vanquished diseases being spread.

Article by WorldNetDaily.com

Cristobal Silverio emigrated illegally from Mexico to Stockton, Calif., in 1997 to work as a fruit picker.

He brought with him his wife, Felipa, and three children, 19, 12 and 8 – all illegals. When Felipa gave birth to her fourth child, daughter Flor, the family had what is referred to as an "anchor baby" – an American citizen by birth who provided the entire Silverio clan a ticket to remain in the U.S. permanently.

But Flor was born premature, spent three months in the neonatal incubator and cost the San Joaquin Hospital more than $300,000. Meanwhile, oldest daughter Lourdes married an illegal alien gave birth to a daughter, too. Her name is Esmeralda. And Felipa had yet another child, Cristian.

The two Silverio anchor babies generate $1,000 per month in public welfare funding for the family. Flor gets $600 a month for asthma. Healthy Cristian gets $400. While the Silverios earned $18,000 last year picking fruit, they picked up another $12,000 for their two "anchor babies."

While President Bush says the U.S. needs more "cheap labor" from south of the border to do jobs Americans aren't willing to do, the case of the Silverios shows there are indeed uncalculated costs involved in the importation of such labor – public support and uninsured medical costs. Read More....

On Tuesday of this week, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said that it found the toxic chemical melamine in infant formula made by an American manufacturer. It later came out that trace levels of melamine or a chemical by-product of melamine was discovered in formula made by the three biggest U.S. manufacturers: Abbot Labs, maker of Similac; Mead Johnson, maker of Enfamil; and Nestle, maker of Good Start. These brands comprise 90 percent of all formula sold in the United States. Read More....

Wal-Mart worker dies after shoppers knock him down

Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK — A Wal-Mart worker was killed Friday when “out-of-control” shoppers desperate for bargains broke down the doors at a 5 a.m. sale. Other workers were trampled as they tried to rescue the man, and customers shouted angrily and kept shopping when store officials said they were closing because of the death, police and witnesses said.

Savage Wal-Mart Shoppers Trample Worker to Death

2008-11-28T13:38:00.000-08:00

by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, November 28, 2008

There's probably not a better scene that exemplifies American culture today: A 34-year-old Wal-Mart worker was trampled to death by 200 crazed shoppers this morning as they rushed into the store at 5:00 am to cash in on special discounts.

The mob of shoppers reportedly "took the doors off the hinges," injuring three other people in the stampede. They didn't even stop for emergency crews that were later treating the Wal-Mart employee on the scene -- they just kept rushing past, trying to get their share of the Wal-Mart discounts on "Black Friday," the biggest shopping day of the year.

Just how jacked up is American culture, anyway, when rushing to get some shopping done is more important than stopping to pick someone up off the floor and save their life? The herd mentality has taken over. Literally. All the advertising, commercial brainwashing, brand imprinting and the push to get people to own more stuff has led to this insane reality where people think that shopping is the key to happiness, and they're willing to do anything to get it.

The man was working for a temporary agency on the company’s behalf, Wal-Mart said in the statement.

About 2,000 people had gathered outside the store as it prepared to open, police Detective Michael Bitsko said in a telephone interview. Employees had opened the interior doors and were preparing to open the main entrance when the crowd surged forward, knocking the front door off its hinges, he said.

Authorities are reviewing surveillance video and are considering criminal charges, Bitsko said. Some people continued to shop even though upset store workers attempted to get them to leave, Newsday said, citing Kimberly Cribbs, a shopper from Far Rockaway.

Store Closed

The store reopened later in the day, and police stood outside to keep customers orderly as some shoppers tried to enter without knowing what had happened, Bitsko said. Wal-Mart told police it had security at the store to handle crowds this morning, he said.

President Obama’s Chicago machine is kicking into high gear to plan and fund his massive, unprecedented inaugural festivities. He just appointed an inauguration planning committee that includes his hometown cronies William Daley and Penny Pritzker. They’ve got a campaign-style website counting down the days to the massive party in Washington. To deflect attention from the costs, the One’s party planners are patting themselves on the back for limiting inaugural donations to individual contributions of $50,000 — a move they say is historic. But Bill Clinton also refused corporate money for his second inaugural and capped donations at $100. (Bush raised $42 million for his second inaugural, mostly from corporate donors, capped at $250,000.) The DC Examiner recently reported that the Inaugural Celebrations of Hope and Change will strain the district’s beleaguered pocketbook. Read More....

G. Gordon Liddy: John McCain Finds His Own Radical

2008-10-17T20:55:00.000-07:00

John McCain has had a field day with Barack Obama's tenuous associations with Bill Ayers, a former member of the Weather Underground who is now a Chicago professor.

Obama has said repeatedly that Ayers' radical past (he was involved in a handful of bombings in the 1960s) occurred when Barack was just a child, and he repudiates those actions. Nevertheless, McCain wants more. He claimed recently:

"I think not only a repudiation but an apology for ever having anything to do with an unrepentant terrorist is due the American people."

Now, however, the Chicago Tribune is pointing out McCain's own radical associations with G. Gordon Liddy:

How close are McCain and Liddy? At least as close as Obama and Ayers appear to be. In 1998, Liddy's home was the site of a McCain fundraiser. Over the years, he has made at least four contributions totaling $5,000 to the senator's campaigns--including $1,000 this year.

Last November, McCain went on his radio show. Liddy greeted him as "an old friend," and McCain sounded like one. "I'm proud of you, I'm proud of your family," he gushed. "It's always a pleasure for me to come on your program, Gordon, and congratulations on your continued success and adherence to the principles and philosophies that keep our nation great."

Obama's legal team seeks special prosecutor for voter registration probe

2008-10-17T20:07:00.000-07:00

By TODD SPANGLER • FREE PRESS WASHINGTON STAFF • October 17, 2008

WASHINGTON – Barack Obama’s legal team wants a special prosecutor to determine whether partisan politics is at play in a reported though unconfirmed Justice Department investigation of a voter registration effort which has been the target of numerous complaints of late, including one in Michigan.

With the election just over two weeks away, Bob Bauer, Obama’s chief lawyer, said in a conference call with reporters this afternoon that he is asking U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey to to hand over to special prosecutor Nora Dannehy any probe into what Bauer called “bogus claims of vote fraud” that mirror concerns raised by Republicans two years ago.

Plans to implement a worldwide carbon tax in the name of saving the planet from global warming have taken another blow after it was revealed that Alaskan glaciers have grown for the first time in 250 years after an abnormally cool summer.

Meet the Real Joe the Plumber

2008-10-17T11:29:00.000-07:00

At the debate Wednesday, John McCain kept bringing up the "fact" that Joe the Plumber would be taxed more under Obama's tax plan. The trouble with making Joe a national hero for conservatives is that the national media descended on Joe. They learned a couple of things, like (1) his name is Sam, not Joe, (2) he does not have a plumbing or contractor's license, items required by city ordinance, (3) the taxable income from his plumbing business would qualify him for a tax cut under the Obama plan, not an increase, and (4) he has an outstanding lien for over $1000 in backtaxes he owes. Maybe he wasn't such a great choice as role model for McCain after all.

VP Debate: Those Pesky Facts

Ah, the morning after. You had a reckless blast last night, doing or saying whatever felt good in that moment. Now, it's time to wake up and face facts. You're not really a movie-producing fireman-cop, and she isn't really on the pill. FactCheck.org is the political equivalent of that buzzkill friend who cluelessly salts your game whenever you bring him or her out with you. They have already analyzed last night's Vice Presidential Debate, and although both candidates practiced elasticity of veracity, the winner of the FactCheck Derby was clearly Joe Biden. Just on volume, Biden had fewer miscues, but when you weight them for the seriousness of the error, the contrast is stark. You can check out their full report, but here's my rundown. Read More....
