Speak the first a certain way and you are talking about the Book of Job from the Old Testament. Job was a fortunate and pious man who lost everything proving his faith in trial after trial. If you are looking for one of those elusive jobs, you know a little how Job felt. It’s not just that there aren’t any jobs, it’s that no one in the administration or the media really give a darn whether you get one. They’re interested in jobs alright. In the past week, their focus has been on just two of them – Shirley Sherrod’s...

Just over a year ago the Tribune-Review sat down separately with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, to ask about their goals for the 111th Congress. Pelosi presented a lofty case for passing a comprehensive health care bill, taking on Wall Street and “big banks,” and finally instituting serious immigration reform. Boehner, with not enough GOP members in the House to stop her agenda, was blunt: He wanted Pelosi’s job. Surprisingly, both are on the verge of achieving their goals. Gallup’s most recent generic congressional ballot test, which measures voter preferences for a Democrat- or...

SAINT ROBERT, Mo. (July 28, 2010) — State Sen. Bill Stouffer knows he’s in an uphill battle trying to unseat U.S. Rep. Ike Skelton. When he visits military installations, he routinely sees everything from dog kennels to major training facilities named after Skelton, who as chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, has brought literally billions of dollars to Fort Leonard Wood and Whiteman Air Force Base. So why would anyone ask voters in a county like Pulaski, where Skelton is widely credited with saving Fort Leonard Wood from closure, ask voters to close out Skelton’s congressional career of more...

Israel's president has accused the English of being anti-semitic and claimed that MPs pander to Muslim voters. Shimon Peres said England was "deeply pro-Arab ... and anti-Israeli", adding: "They always worked against us." He added: "There is in England a saying that an anti-Semite is someone who hates the Jews more than is necessary." His remarks, made in an interview on a Jewish website, provoked anger from senior MPs and Jewish leaders who said the 87-year-old president had "got it wrong". But other groups backed the former Israeli prime minister and said the number of anti-semitic incidents had risen dramatically...

Miss Gillard, Labor, who became prime minister five weeks ago, has had her election campaign hampered by government in-fighting and damaging cabinet leaks. Julia Gillard and partner Tim Mathieson Defeat for Miss Gillard, though still considered unlikely by most other opinion polls and political experts, would sink her plans to place a 30 per cent tax on iron ore and coal mines, to introduce carbon-trading and to build a $33 billion broadband network. Miss Gillard took the leadership of Australia from unpopular premier Kevin Rudd, who was dumped by his own Labor MPs. But their gamble on the country's first...

Click here to find out more! Elton John is leading yet another “British Invasion” in America. He is “invading” American media and pop-culture circles with some very basic – and very healthy – attitudes and behaviors that affirm capitalism and American-styled free market enterprise. Elton may seem like an unlikely spokesperson for such a noble agenda. Yet many of America’s most basic understandings of freedom and economic liberty are grounded in the words of another Brit – Adam Smith – whose magnum opus “The Wealth of Nations” was first published in the historically significant year of 1776. So it’s amusing...

Four States Can Stop Lame Duck Threat Posted on 31 July 2010. Illinois Governor Pat Quinn made it official: Illinois will have a special Senate election just for the lame duck session. Thus Illinois joins Delaware and West Virginia (both having special elections) as the three states whose winners on election day will—barring a disputed election result—be seated for a lame duck session in December. A fourth, Colorado, is less clear but may also be in play. The lame duck session looks increasingly likely—and increasingly ambitious. Sen. Kerry continues to stress that cap-and-trade will be on the agenda, and Sen....

Hey mama grizzlies, it appears as if the White House wants more time with your cubs. Yep, I guess Barack and his socialistic cabal have had a rough go at “fundamentally transforming our nation” in dealing with the increasingly-jaundiced thinking adults who’ve lost the Obama buzz, still dig America, love God and our Constitution, and ask questions (and crap like that). So, like good brainwashers who cannot bamboozle adults, they go in for our babies.Yep, for the sake of socialism and with an eye to “changing our traditions, our history,” as Michelle Obama said, BHO’s boy Arne Duncan is tabling...

OBAMA'S BORDER TROUBLES (The "Death Blow" to Obama's COLB fraud) Play that "funky border," white boy... Ever wonder how or why that UGLY, GRAYISH-GREEN BORDER wound up on Obama's 2007 COLB? I mean, besides it being a forgery. Well, wonder no longer. After two years of research and testing - and a few thousand combinations of multiple image parameters - here are the answers to HOW and WHY this BOMBASTIC BORDER was made. Believe it or not, even a few, staunch Obama supporters found the border to be "Fishy," "Suspicious," "Unrealistic," and "Something a decent Forger would never do." On...

John Joseph Merzbacher, a notorious Baltimore child abuser accused of molesting dozens of students at the Catholic school where he taught, could soon be released from a life sentence, under a federal court order handed down Friday. Merzbacher, now 68, is a former middle school teacher at the city's Catholic Community School. He was sentenced in 1995 to multiple life terms after a jury found him guilty of raping a preteen Elizabeth Ann Murphy decades earlier. He has already served 15 years. But his case is now being sent back to state court so he can be offered a 10-year...

There are hndreds of comments on the president's quote from his interview on "The View": When asked about his background, which includes a black father and white mother, Obama said of African-Americans: "We are sort of a mongrel people." "I mean we're all kinds of mixed up," Obama said. "That's actually true of white people as well, but we just know more about it." And people quickly point out the obvious poit - imagine if (Fill in conservative / Republican name here) had said "Blacks are sort of a mongrel race". The roar from the media would be deafening. There...

I am a veteran of the math wars. I was there in 1995 when the shiny new California Learning Assessment System (CLAS) test told graders to award a higher score to a student who incorrectly answered a math problem about planting trees -- but wrote an enthusiastic essay -- than to a student who got the answer right, but with no essay. The genius responsible for that math question explained that her goal was to present eighth-graders with "an intentionally ambiguous problem in which no one pattern can be considered the absolute answer." Gov. Pete Wilson's education czar, Maureen DiMarco,...

I’m not much good at timing. I was visiting Jordan on a lecture tour when the Israelis assassinated Hamas founder Sheikh Yassin. Amman closed down and much of my program had to be canceled; Americans weren’t welcome on campuses where student groups were mourning the sheikh and vowing revenge. I was in Indonesia when the Israelis invaded Lebanon; I was able to go ahead with the program, but all the audiences wanted to discuss was the war and America’s responsibility for Israeli crimes. I first came to Pakistan about the time then-Senator Obama called for escalating the drone strikes in...

The prominent “progressive” historian Howard Zinn, whose books are force-fed to young people on many college campuses, was not only a member of the Moscow-controlled and Soviet-funded Communist Party USA (CPUSA) but lied about it, according to an FBI file released on Friday. The file, consisting of three sections totaling 423 pages, was made available on the FBI’s website and released in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request from this writer. Zinn taught in the political science department of Boston University for 24 years, from 1964 to 1988, and has been a major influence on the modern-day...

Perhaps the greatest trap opinion columnists fall into is when we disconnect from reality and simply pretend the world is the way we see it. We all do this, but some are more susceptible than others. Take David Brooks, who’s supposed to be the in-house conservative voice of The New York Times op-ed page.“What would happen if Obama sidestepped the fruitless and short-term stimulus debate and instead focused on the long term?” Brooks mused on July 26. Um, David, where’ve you been these last 18 months? Everything about President Obama’s agenda is “focused on the long term.” His health...

The president, Tiny Tim Geithner and much of the complicit media like using phrases like “we have turned the corner,” talking about some sort of economic recovery underway. Joe Biden went so far as to dub this “The Summer of Recovery.” It’s tripe. The almost entirely unreported fact is that personal income, excluding government transfer payments, has been declining and continues to decline, something never before seen in a recovery out the back end of a recession. The need to extend the unemployment welfare again, this time to the not-coincidental election month of November (when you can count on it...

LAS VEGAS—Sharron Angle, the media-shy GOP nominee against Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), delighted a crowd of conservative activists Saturday with a speech that embraced Arizona’s controversial immigration law and sketched out her tea party-infused values. Delivering the keynote speech to the Americans for Prosperity Foundation’s annual RightOnline Conference — an event held as a conservative antidote to the liberal blogosphere’s annual Netroots Nation conference, also taking place this weekend in Las Vegas — Angle told a rapt audience of roughly 1,000 attendees of the need to secure the nation’s borders. “Go, Arizona, go!” she exclaimed. “Arizona has taken...

Concerning Right to Life - As America kills its offspring in the womb, we hear about it being a "social issue". It is not a "social issue". It is the violation of an important founding principle. Now, if someone were to do a study of whether it was Bill or Hillary Clinton who had the most venereal disease (if any), THAT would be a "social issue"! Come on, Democrats, media, and others, - let's get it right!

U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann canceled a scheduled campaign appearance in St. Louis on Saturday for GOP Senate candidate Roy Blunt after being hospitalized with an undisclosed illness. The 54-year-old Minnesota Republican, who is serving her second term in Congress and running for a third, apparently was admitted to a Washington-area hospital Friday with what her office described as a "sudden illness." She missed several votes on the Gulf oil spill just before the House adjourned for its August recess. Bachmann spokesman Dave Dziok said she was in the hospital most of Friday and that doctors advised her to rest.

Good for Mark! Mark was taking aim at Byron York, among others, for being content with supporting the status quo. Mark pointed out Christine O’Donnell as an example of a must-win conservative who is being passed over by the so-called conservatives in the media. You want to save this country, then you cannot vote for Mike Castle. Mike Castle will be the most liberal Republican in the Senate and he will be more liberal than most Democrats. So, what will it be, conservative media? Is Mike Castle your guy? Mark Levin is right and you know it!

For One Senate Seat in Illinois, Two Elections on the Same DayBy MONICA DAVEY Published: July 31, 2010 CHICAGO — In all the fuss over the Senate seat that President Obama left behind here, and whether it was offered up in a nefarious trade, some people demanded a clean start. Let the voters of Illinois elect someone to fill the vacancy. The simple idea has been granted. But as only Illinois, and its topsy-turvy politics, might execute such things, the new election has been set for Nov. 2 — almost two years after Mr. Obama left the seat and on...

Elmhurst officials are considering creating a "disturbance and disorderly conduct" violation after a resident accused of rolling her eyes and sighing was ejected from a public meeting. City Attorney Don Storino has been directed by the city’s finance and council affairs committee to look at various sources including “Robert’s Rules of Order,” Illinois state statutes and policies adopted by other municipalities for a legal definition of disorderly conduct and disruptive behavior. He is expected to report his findings to the committee on July 26. Ald. Stephen Hipskind said Darlene Heslop rolled her eyes and sighed while attending a June 14...

"If you establish a democracy, you must in due time reap the fruits of democracy. You will in due season have great impatience of the public burdens, combined in due season with great increase of public expenditure. You will in due season have wars entered into from passion and not from reason; and you will in due season submit to peace ignominiously sought and ignominiously obtained, which will diminish your authority and perhaps endanger your independence."

To Help Fellow Democrats in the Fall, Obama May Stay AwayBy JEFF ZELENY Published: July 31, 2010 WASHINGTON — As lunch was served in the Roosevelt Room of the White House one day last week, President Obama assured the nine Democratic members of Congress sitting around the table that he would do anything he could to help them survive their fall elections. Even, he said, if it meant staying away. “You may not even want me to come to your district,” Mr. Obama said, according to guests, nearly all of whom hold seats that Republicans are aggressively seeking. Three months...

It turns out that countries have two economies: the official one and a shadow version. The official economy is the one that governments and banking institutions measure with gross domestic product, tax receipts, social security contributions, employment identification numbers, and the like. The shadow economy is all the money and jobs generated outside the official economy, whether legally or illegally. In more than 50 countries around the world, the shadow economy is at least 40 percent the size of documented GDP. In percentage terms, the biggest shadow economy relative to official economic activity is in the former Soviet republic of...

Are we on the threshold of seeing hardcore porn on prime time TV? Very possibly so, if we follow the logic of New York Post columnist Jacob Sullum. On July 24, 2010 in a column entitled “The trouble with outlawing porn,” Jacob Sullum, supported two recent federal court decisions, one of which invalidated the FCC’s broadcast indecency law enforcement policy, and the other of which dismissed obscenity charges against a commercial distributor of hardcore pornography. Sullum said the cases “show that prohibiting vaguely defined categories of speech undermine the rule of law as well as freedom of expression.” Full article...

resident Obama may not fit the constitutional eligibility requirement that stipulates only "natural born" citizens can serve as U.S. president, conclude the authors of a recently released book. An investigation by the authors found that according to correspondence from the original framers of the Constitution as well as multiple Supreme Court rulings and the legal writings that helped establish the principles of the Constitution, Obama is not eligible to serve as president since his father was not a U.S. citizen.

Move over scandal, Oksana Grigorieva could be doing the salsa to Dancing With The Stars.

IT IS Election Night, 2012. The polls have closed. State by state, the votes are being counted, and gradually it becomes clear, to the bottomless horror of some voters and the unbridled delight of others, that Sarah Palin, the Republican presidential nominee, has bested President Barack Obama in the popular vote nationwide. In Massachusetts, where Obama crushed Palin in a 79 percent landslide — the most lopsidedly anti-Palin vote of any state — “bottomless horror’’ doesn’t begin to describe the political reaction. For in 2010, Massachusetts joined the National Popular Vote compact, making a commitment to cast all of its...

From the team that helped produce and market THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST comes "I WANT YOUR MONEY!" The film uses interviews from well-known public figures, experts, movie clips, dramatic portrayals, music, graphics and even comedic animation to tell the story in the plainest terms of the choice between the Obama and the Reagan views of the role of the federal government in our society. It also examines how...

SAINT ROBERT, Mo. (July 28, 2010) — It’s hard to avoid being attacked during a political campaign, but Pulaski County’s own legislator, State Rep. David Day, says he knows State Sen. Bill Stouffer well and believes recent attacks on him by former State Rep. Vicky Hartzler miss the mark. Stouffer and Hartzler are the two leading Republican candidates to replace U.S. Rep. Ike Skelton, a longtime Democrat who chairs the House Armed Services Committee and represents one of the most conservative congressional districts held by a Democrat. Skelton has rarely had aggressive opposition, but this year both Hartzler and Stouffer...

The Corruption Trial of Rod Blagojevich was supposed to be Explosive – What happened? Ever since impeached Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich was arrested on December 9th, 2008 he has not only maintained his innocence but insisted repeatedly that he would expose the truth on the stand. After the prosecution rested its case weeks earlier than expected, Blagojevich's defense team rested after only two days – and without the testimony of the defendant who assured the public it would hear his story. Many expected the defense to call well known figures such as: Rahm Emanuel, Valerie Jarrett, Harry Reid, Dick Durbin,...

n this economy, even counterfeiters are trading down. After years of knocking off luxury products like $2,800 Louis Vuitton handbags, criminals are discovering there is money to be made in faking the more ordinary — like $295 Kooba bags and $140 Ugg boots. In California, the authorities recently seized a shipment of counterfeit Angel Soft toilet paper. The shift in the counterfeiting industry, which costs American businesses an estimated $200 billion a year plays to recession-weary customers looking for downmarket deals, the authorities say. And it has been fueled in part by factories sitting idle in China. Almost 80 percent...

If anyone is wondering why Sarah Palin endorsed Republican Carly Fiorina for governor of U.S. senator from California, what Fiorina told KPIX in the Sanctuary City of San Francisco about Arizona’s SB 1070: “If the federal government wants to take the point of view that the Obama administration and Attorney General Eric Holder seem to be taking, which is all immigration issues are federal government issues and therefore we will challenge any authority, then they ought to be applying that standard consistently, and they clearly are not.” Incredibly Kevin Johnson, dean of the UC Davis Law School, does not see...

Last week, Census Bureau Director Robert M. Groves said to Fox News that you can “trust 2010 Census data.” What our director fails to tell us is that the two software applications have operational problems that will ultimately lead to inaccurate data. Just spend a day working in PBOCS, the Paper-Based Operational Control System which processes enumerator questionnaires from the field, or MARCS, the Matching Address Review Coding System which shows a data capture of every questionnaire that was scanned at the Baltimore Data Capture Center and you will see the poor quality of work.

Mexican Foreign Minister Patricia Espinosa declared US Judge Susan Bolton’s ruling invalidating Arizona’s attempt to enforce the law against illegal immigration “a step in the right direction.” “By rights, the territory currently going by the name of Arizona belongs to Mexico,” Espinosa contended. “It was stolen from us in 1848 by a war of aggression carried out by the US government. Governor Brewer is not a governor of our choosing. She has no moral authority to try to exclude Mexicans from freely moving about in what should be their own land.” Espinosa said her government “looks forward to the day...

When the troubles of life come don't put your focus on the problem put it on the word. The scripture says "While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal" (2Corinthians 4:18). Your problems are temporal(subject to change), but the word of God is eternal(everlasting). when you put your focus on the problem you loose sight of the power of God. Like Peter when Jesus told him to come to him out on the...
