Good ol' Dianne Feinstein is exposed for the dishonest politician that she is. Her hubby was making a fortune off government defense contracts and she was the chairman and ranking member of MILCON for six years. I have known about this for quite sometime. What chaps my hide is the lack of coverage by the alphabet news stations. Oh, but of course, liberal politicians lack morals and ethics so this is just normal behavior...it was making her feel good sharing all kinds of inside info with hubby boy.

SEN. Dianne Feinstein has resigned from the Military Construction Appropriations subcommittee. As previously and extensively reviewed in these pages, Feinstein was chairperson and ranking member of MILCON for six years, during which time she had a conflict of interest due to her husband Richard C. Blum's ownership of two major defense contractors, who were awarded billions of dollars for military construction projects approved by Feinstein.
As MILCON leader, Feinstein relished the details of military construction, even micromanaging one project at the level of its sewer design. She regularly took junkets to military bases around the world to inspect construction projects, some of which were contracted to her husband's companies, Perini Corp. and URS Corp.

Iran's President Ahmadinejad Plans Trip To New York : Capture Him This Time
Wow, another chance to get a hold of our generation's Hitler. This time Mr. Bush, do the right thing and throw him in the hole and then execute him. It is equal to getting a hold of Hitler himself in 1938. This sub human if he had his way would erase Israel and the US off of the globe. Period. Again, President Bush, allow him to come but never to leave. But I do not think G Dubba has the sack!
Another Gift From Illegal Aliens
It is called Chagas, and it is not a Latin soccer team. Yeah thats right, sneak over the border and say "Hello to my little deadly friend." Hey, we also have missed Mr. Polio, welcome back.

"A little-known but potentially deadly parasite from Latin America has become one of the latest threats to the blood and organ supplies in the United States, especially in Los Angeles, where many donors have traveled to affected countries, health officials say."
"Insect transmission of the parasite in the United States is rare, but public health and blood bank officials have been concerned about its increasing prevalence in the blood supply."
"In Latin America, about 10 million to 12 million people are believed to be infected with the Chagas parasite. As many as 1 million of them are expected to die from the disease unless there are advances in treatment, according to Dr. James Maguire, a University of Maryland expert on the disease."

Good Job Al
Good ol' Al Gonzalez fires 8 attorneys and people from the left and a few so called righties are whinning. But hey, back in 93' Janet "shoot first ask questions later' Reno cleaned out 93 and politics was the reason. But Bubba and the lady known as Hillary get a pass...

"As everyone once knew but has tried to forget, Mr. Hubbell was a former partner of Mrs. Clinton at the Rose Law Firm in Little Rock who later went to jail for mail fraud and tax evasion. He was also Bill and Hillary Clinton's choice as Associate Attorney General in the Justice Department when Janet Reno, his nominal superior, simultaneously fired all 93 U.S. Attorneys in March 1993. Ms. Reno--or Mr. Hubbell--gave them 10 days to move out of their offices."
"President Clinton presented the move as something perfectly ordinary: "All those people are routinely replaced," he told reporters, "and I have not done anything differently." In fact, the dismissals were unprecedented: Previous Presidents, including Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter, had both retained holdovers from the previous Administration and only replaced them gradually as their tenures expired. This allowed continuity of leadership within the U.S. Attorney offices during the transition."

What A Waste
Check out this video of Barney"Ferry" Frank and a couple Repubbycans going at it. Are we not at war? Ain't Islamic nuts looking for our heads?
Infected By Wimps
When did this country become; or better yet, How did this country become one that is being run by wimps? Bush refuses to fight to win, border patrol agents being placed in prison for shooting illegal alien drug dealers, the koran being an option in the courtroom's of America. And Barney Frank being allowed any power any where!!!! Yikes! I know that American wimps are the minority here but they are allowed to rule the majority and undermine the strength of America under the guise of diversity, also refusing to acknowledge that there is a moral absolute...Right vs. Wrong.

The Enemy Has A Friend in CNN
This story from the LA Times regarding CNN's running of an apparent Muslim sniper killing an American soldier is simply wrong. At no other point in American history would aid, comfort and video broadcast of our enemy be seen by the American public. Wars are fought and won by our soldiers and a vast majority of Americans and politicians backing the cause. As those few who claim to love America and at the same time tear down the moral fabric that has made it so great infects all areas of society it becomes increasingly difficult to keep our nation safe and strong.
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-fg-sniper21oct21,1,2127335.story?ctrack=1&cset=true
"CNN has become "the publicist for an enemy propaganda film" by broadcasting a video showing an insurgent sniper in Iraq apparently killing an American soldier, the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee said here Friday."
"He said one compromise was made: The moment when the bullet hits the soldier's head is blacked out. The soldier's face and unit patches were not clear, so identifying him was impossible, CNN said."

Jack Murtha: The New Benedict Arnold
I had heard of this op ed piece from a buddy of mine. It sheds light on how corruption infects both parties. Murtha has gained name recognition under cutting our war effort in Iraq. He truly has our troops blood on his hands. Here is a link and a line to the editorial.
http://www.washtimes.com/op-ed/20060620-083859-8753r.htm
Last June, the Los Angeles Times reported how the ranking member on the defense appropriations subcommittee has a brother, Robert Murtha, whose lobbying firm represents 10 companies that received more than $20 million from last year's defense spending bill. "Clients of the lobbying firm KSA Consulting -- whose top officials also include former congressional aide Carmen V. Scialabba, who worked for Rep. Murtha as a congressional aide for 27 years -- received a total of $20.8 million from the bill," the L.A. Times reported.
In early 2004, according to Roll Call, Mr. Murtha "reportedly leaned on U.S. Navy officials to sign a contract to transfer the Hunters Point Shipyard to the city of San Francisco." Laurence Pelosi, nephew of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, at the time was an executive of the company which owned the rights to the land. The same article also reported how Mr. Murtha has been behind millions of dollars worth of earmarks in defense appropriations bills that went to companies owned by the children of fellow Pennsylvania Democrat, Rep. Paul Kanjorski
And here is an additional article found at the American Spectator that shows good ol' Jack hustling for his brother. What a great American!
http://www.spectator.org/dsp_article.asp?art_id=9359
"Who is "Kit" Murtha?
He's John Murtha's brother -- a Washington lobbyist whose firm reeled in more than $20 million for its defense contractor clients in the 2004 Defense appropriations bill. And the Pennsylvania congressman is the ranking Democrat on the Defense appropriations subcommittee, which he also chaired for six years before Democrats lost the House in 1994."

Hezballah, Coming Soon to Your Neighborhood
This is a must read article for those who do not realize or choose to recognize that the evil in this world, known as radical Islam...Hezballah are targeting America. And sitting at a table playing nice ain't going to cut it. Just ask Israel. Here is the link and line.

U.S.A. v. Mohamad Youssef Hammoud et al., Charlotte, North Carolina: 25 individuals charged in connection with cigarette smuggling, money laundering, credit card fraud, marriage fraud and immigration violations. Four individuals were charged with providing “material support or resources to a foreign terrorist organization,” Hizballah, specifically providing “currency, financial services, training, false documentation and identification, communications equipment, explosives, and other physical assets to Hizballah, in order to facilitate its violent attacks.” In 2003, Mohamad Hammoud was sentenced to 155 years in prison, while his brother, Chawki, was sentenced to 51 months.

Life's Navigator
I had been thinking lately about the twist, turns and detours that Life's road takes a person. The road usually begins out of high school. Everyday things are new. First college semester, first job, first vote and first girlfriend. There are also many first that appear to be negatives. First F, first job lost and first exgirlfriend. And the road continues pulling you along and after awhile the newness of life becomes something called "Wisdom Ave". The old saying "been around the block" or"been down that road before" or "dead end" appear . And when one really hits the cruise control we hear "Taking the high road" "a new path" or "smooth driving ahead." And no matter where we are on the road those pesky speed bumps appear. The secret to navigating this often tough but enjoyable journey is to remember the parts of the road that are under repair and to avoid them. And if we become lost there is ONE who is the ultimate "Navigator" who always knows the right road for us to take. The ultimate life question is not how long is the road? but rather how well did we follow the Navigator's directions? And Atlas is not His name.
It Is A Religous War
Muslim extremist killing Christians. Apparently as long as Christians are the victims there are no major media willing to cover these brutal murders. But let the roles be reveresed and look out. But the interesting fact is, there are very very few incidents were "Christian Extremist" have brutaly murdered Muslims. Actually I can't recall any incidents. The larger question is "Why the free Pass?" Fear of retallation from these Muslims on the journalist? Maybe, but reporters have put themselves in danger before. Or it maybe, as predicted, there would be a time when to be a Christian would be dangerous and even deadly. But for Christians, we know the final outcome of this religous war.
Here is a line and a link to a single incident.
http://www.worthynews.com/christian/philippines-islamic-militants-suspected-of-killing-pastor-and-daughter/
MANILA/AMSTERDAM (BosNewsLife) -- Suspected Islamic militants shot and killed a 47-year-old pastor and his 22-year-old daughter in Mindanao, the second largest and easternmost island of the Philippines, investigators said Thursday, July 6. Speaking from its headquarters in Ermelo, the Netherlands, human rights group Open Doors said it learned from Christian sources that Pastor Mocsin Hasim, a former Muslim, was shot at least 19 times, while his daughter Mercilyn was five times hit....Local police have reportedly linked the attack to the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, described as an "extremist rebel group."

A Must Read For The Chicken Little Club, AKA Global Warming Crew
Back In July of 2000 Prof. S Fred Singer testified before the senate committee on Commerece,Science and Transportation. No matter how one feels about the subject it is a must read. Oh, and here are a few of his credentials....Singer holds a degree in engineering from Ohio State and a Ph.D. in physics from Princeton University. He received a Special Commendation from President Eisenhower for the early design of satellites. In 1962, he was selected as first director of the U.S. Weather Satellite Service and received a Gold Medal award from the Department of Commerce for this contribution. In the late 1980s, he served as Chief Scientist of the Department of Transportation and also provided expert advice to the White House on climate issues.
http://www.sepp.org/NewSEPP/senatetestimony.htm
My name is Fred Singer. I am Professor emeritus of Environmental Sciences at the University of Virginia and the founder and president of The Science & Environmental Policy Project (SEPP) in Fairfax, Virginia, a non-partisan, non-profit research group of independent scientists. We work without salaries and are not beholden to anyone or any organization. SEPP does not solicit support from either government or industry but relies on contributions from individuals and foundations.
We hold a skeptical view on the climate science that forms the basis of the National Assessment because we see no evidence to back its findings; climate model exercises are NOT evidence. Vice President Al Gore keeps referring to scientific skeptics as a "tiny minority outside the mainstream." This position is hard to maintain when more than 17,000 scientists have signed the Oregon Petition against the Kyoto Protocol because they see "no compelling evidence that humans are causing discernible climate change."

"These are chemical weapons as defined under the Chemical Weapons Convention, and yes ... they do constitute weapons of mass destruction," Army Col. John Chu told the House Armed Services Committee.
The Chemical Weapons Convention is an arms control agreement which outlaws the production, stockpiling and use of chemical weapons. It was signed in 1993 and entered into force in 1997.

Saudi's Visa To The USA Up; Sleeping Better Now?
Ran across this article this morning and still can not believe it. What disturbs me is the "students." I am sure one reason is that these student's parents give big dollars to certain colleges. But to allow a nation who overcharges for oil, who is a hot bed of anti American teachings and where 19 of the 9-11 attackers originated from to send their youth here for an education? One can call it what they want, but it is wrong. The proper way to do this would be to set a limit on how many student visas are to be given. Research the students and their family. Then issue a visa.
Same with all visas in general. There is no reason to allow this many visas to a country or countries that harbor so many Islamic extremist. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure this out. Here is a line and a link

Their Problem Should Not Be Our Problem
This is an article from Southeast Missouri State University. It seems to me that we should lock up the habitual users for longer periods of time for each meth offense. It is not the goverment's role to provide free treatment to these people. It is not an illness, it is a bad life choice! "Meth, cooks, users and dealers pass on other meth-related to costs to law-abiding taxpayers. For almost forty years, states have been required to provide legal counsel to indigents charged with a felony. Many defendants charged with meth offenses do not have adequate financial resources to hire a private attorney. As a result, hundreds if not thousands of meth-related defendants utilize the services of a public defender or a court-appointed attorney. In either instance, budgets for such representation result from tax revenue and the law-abiding public bears those costs. The costs incurred by taxpayer’s increases with imprisonment. States vary in their reported annual costs of imprisonment but estimates of $30,000 to $40,000 per year are reasonable. Again, most states budget a significant portion of tax revenues to their Department of Corrections and those not related to the meth industry bear the costs of meth use. In some cases, meth users will be mandated to undergo treatment as a condition of probation, incarceration or diversion. The highly addictive nature of the drug requires long-term treatment by professional counselors. As previously mentioned, most meth criminals are legally indigent and the costs for mandated treatment is third-partied to the general public."

The Insanity Of An Unsecure Border
The Daily Bulletin.com was first to announce that the US Border Patrol was giving information to Mexican officials of the whereabouts of The Minutemen patrols. The US Border Patrol claims they do this to reassure the Mexican government that their illegally departing brothers and sisters right's are not being violated. How about American's right to spend their tax dollar on legal citizen's needs? How about our right to be protected from a foreign invasion? How about our right not to have an isalmic terrorist cross into the country? I hope there is an investagation to see who contacts the Mexican government and exactly what info is given and to whom. The Mexican government is so corrupt that the info will fall into the hands of criminals at some point.
http://dailybulletin.com/news/ci_3799653
"According to three documents on the Mexican Secretary of Foreign Relations Web site, the U.S. Border Patrol is to notify the Mexican government as to the location of Minutemen and other civilian border patrol groups when they participate in apprehending illegal immigrants -- and if and when violence is used against border crossers."...
"A U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman confirmed the notification process, describing it as a standard procedure meant to reassure the Mexican government that migrants' rights are being observed."...
"Last year an internal memo notified all agents not to give credit to Minuteman volunteers or others who call in sightings of illegal aliens," said one agent, who spoke on the condition he not be identified. "We were told to list it as a citizen call and leave it at that. Many times, we were told not to go out to Minuteman calls."

Antonin Scalia And Capital Punishment
In May 2002 Mr. Scalia wrote a wonderful article on the morality of capital punishment. In with this article he makes the point that many death penalty opponents are those who like to pick and choose the laws they obey....
http://www.firstthings.com/ftissues/ft0205/articles/scalia.html
"The mistaken tendency to believe that a democratic government, being nothing more than the composite will of its individual citizens, has no more moral power or authority than they do as individuals has adverse effects in other areas as well. It fosters civil disobedience, for example, which proceeds on the assumption that what the individual citizen considers an unjust law—even if it does not compel him to act unjustly—need not be obeyed."
A person who does not fully understand the value of life hear on Earth, but also the larger value of one's soul will take issue with capital punishment As Scalia say's

How Many Guardsmen Does it Take? Not Many!
This is the best news recently on our battle with illegal immigration and I do not remeber seeing this reported anywhere in the news. Just imagine what type of success could be had if these troops were fully armed and on patrol instead of playing a support and unarmed role.
"Total detentions of aliens attempting to sneak across the Mexican border have plummeted an unimaginable 21% in the first 10 days of June compared to the same period last year. This drop occurs at a time when enforcement efforts are at a recent high, due to political concerns, and reflects a precipitous drop in total attempted border crossings. According to an Associated Press report, Jorge Vazquez, a director of “Grupo Beta,” an agency funded by the Mexican government and that works to aid and abet Mexicans seeking to enter the United States illegally, his agents have seen a similar drop in traffic on his side of the border. The shocking drop-off in human smuggling is attributed to one factor: the arrival of the National Guard on the border. That’s quite an accomplishment for just 55 guardsmen, who did not even arrive until June 3 and are working entirely in support roles with the Border Patrol. What has really stemmed the tide is just the idea that troops are coming to the border—a fact that has found widespread exaggeration in the Mexican media"

Fight To Win Or Do Not Fight At All
I was asked recently why our current war in Iraq is not being fought like WWII. Wow, where to start. First and foremost, we do not have the political leadership we once had. Presidents once worried about what was best for our nation and our armies, not political polls and legacies. We once had news media that supported a war and its men and did not portray our enimies as victims of a cruel and mean USA. Our servicemen did not have to worry about split second decisions on the battlfield and now they are guilty until proven innocent when they are accused by the enemy's people. We never use to embed news reporters whose sole mission was to undermine our troops. We use to bomb countries into submission in order to protect our troops, now we go door to door so we can appear compassionate.
Our enemy is willing to blow themselves up, fly planes into American buildings, cut off heads and set off chemical bombs. And if we do not fight this religous war on the turf of our enemy, we will fight it here. Our enemy brought the fight here, remember?
"One cannot wage war under present conditions without the support of public opinion, which is tremendously molded by the press and other forms of propaganda."

And The Us Treats Their Prisoners How?
No prayer time or special meals for our captured soldiers. Just a good ol' fashion beheading. I want to hear from the ACLU, International Red Cross, Amnesty Int.... and so on. Tell me again, how many of our brave soldiers are being held as POWS?

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - The bodies of two U.S. soldiers reported captured last week have been recovered, and an Iraqi official said Tuesday the men were "killed in a barbaric way." Al-Qaida in Iraq claimed responsibility for killing the soldiers, and said the successor to slain terror leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi had "slaughtered" them, according to a Web statement that could not be authenticated.
The language in the statement suggested the men had been beheaded.
