We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail! [President Bush]
Good morning!! Do not let the victims of the attacks on New York and Washington, nor the brave members of our Nation's military who have given their lives to protect our freedom, die in vain!!
The Administration told a closed-door Senate hearing that Padilla will become a non-POW POW; he will, at the President's order, be held in the brig until we are done with Al Qa'eda. He will not be brought forward before a military tribunal.
American Catholic Bishops opened a session on the sexual abuse issue, hearing from victims. Later, they met behind closed doors to consider what policy the Church should take.
The Senate has tabled debate on cloning; IML Puff Daschle has said the likelihood of the Senate taking up a measure this year are very, very slim.
Moussaoui, the "20th hijacker," said in court that he had nothing to do with September 11; meanwhile he still contends to the District Court that his court-appointed lawyers are part of a conspiracy to kill him.
Toby Keith, songwriter of the increasingly popular single, "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American)," was supposed to perform on ABC's July 4 special. That is, he was scheduled until Peter Jennings, who is not even an American (he is Canadian), heard the single and allegedly became angry it would be on the show. ABC cancelled the appearance by Keith.
For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.
Post your short news items, issues of interest, links, and so on. All who advance the Cause are welcome.
LET'S ROLL!!!
So neat you could spend time with another FReeper.
The deal with ABC is so stupid. Toby Keith's song is a good song. Patriotic. I think that is the whole issue. It gets people fired up to stand behind America.
Glad you 2 could get together!
We should have a total ATRW reunion sometime. I nominate Cleveland as the location!:-)
AMERICA’S WAR ON TERROR – Day 277
The news as reported in The Washington Times:
[Note – All links go to The Washington Times’ website.]
1. American Catholic Bishops yesterday decided against a policy that would have allowed priests to stay in service had they committed only one instance of sexual abuse.
[I don’t know why this is so difficult for the Bishops. The Pope says it is a most egregious sin. If so, and a priest commits it – outta here! It’s that simple.]
2. Teamsters leader Jimmy Hoffa, Jr., said his union will give more money to Republicans in this election cycle.
[Daschle, call your office. The party, your Party, is over!]
Hoffa finds reasons to support GOP
3. The Washington Times has been bringing us news and views for 20 years.
[At least one paper in Washington, DC, reports news.]
CELEBRATING 20 YEARS: The Washington Times
4. Retail sales dropped sharply last month; analysts had expected them to increase with the recovery.
[Interesting.]
Slipping economy not following script
5. The House voted to end the so-called marriage penalty in income taxation.
[And the Senate IML will not consider it, of course.]
House votes end to marriage penalty
6. The DC Department of Mental Health has failed to return $1 million to the relatives of deceased patients, and has mismanaged the accounts of hundreds of living patients.
[Another shining example of the benefits of liberal city management.]
D.C. agency keeps cash of deceased
7. The ACLU and NAA(L)CP have joined in criticism of the Washington, DC, police department’s plan to use video cameras to watch over public spaces.
[First of all, the US Supreme Court has said there is no expectation of privacy in a public space. Second, as long as the cameras are not attached to a computer (so far they are not), what is the difference between a police officer watching in the public space, or a police officer watching a public space on a TV camera. It’s not exactly a novel concept; many modern office buildings have surveillance cameras for their private security operations.]
ACLU, NAACP warn of police camera abuse
8. S. Vance Wilkins Jr. resigned his position as Speaker of the Virginia Assembly amid a sexual harassment allegation.
[Good. Far more honorable than a recent President. Thus the difference between the GOP and demonflops continues.]
Virginia House speaker resigns
We shall not rest until we have cut a swath 60-miles wide through the entire left - taking all that is before us with us as we go. We shall leave nothing to the enemy that may be of value to him. We shall show him that he may count on nothing and will be able to keep nothing, not his spirit, not his soul, not that upon which he shall feed. We shall not cease until the moment we have rent through their entire land and have arrived at the sea, with our glorious victory upon us.

Now you have the info, go support the United States of America!!!
Arlington, VA. (I just don't want to travel.)
When Fear attempts to take a shortcut Wesley Pruden
He was a good man Michelle Malkin. This one ties Sept. 11 to Father's Day. Very moving...
I'm tired of it. I AM proud to be an American and I'm tired of listening to those whiners from other countires who try to denigrate us. I have decided that they are really ashamed of their countries and feel that the only way to lift themselves up is by putting us down. If they had more pride in their countries perhaps they wouldn't feel so threathened by us.
As John says, "my two cents worth."
How are the swimming exerccises going?
Miss Marple - Good luck today, Jane. All will go well....
William made it home last night for his brief visit.
We're talking nitty gritty details, like how to avoid gypsies:-)
He looks much better than he did last August when you saw him, and he was so thin after India.
He still has his beard, but his hair is short, and he's filled out a little.
Oh, you're right; it might not be done in time. Silly me.:)
