    Dear FOP (Friend Of Phil): 'Political Correctness is the liberal version of fascism.' That's the title of one of the chapters in my new book, 'Right From The Heart: The ABC's of Reality in America.' It seems that diversity is encouraged by the Left until it's a diversity of thought. ABC TV's new drama, 'Threat Matrix,' is based on an actual report given to the President each morning called the Threat Matrix. It outlines the most active domestic and international threats against the United States. This brilliant new drama from ABC is being savaged by many left-wing reviewers as "pro-Bush"...

    <p>WASHINGTON — From the time he decided to seek political office, Bill Frist has made it clear that his experience as a physician would drive his legislative priorities. Accordingly, he has been at the forefront of debates on health policy since his election to the U.S. Senate in 1994.</p>

    March 21, 2003 To Our Troops I know that a lot of you in the military have computers with you where you are serving because I get so much e-mail from you, and I thank you for it. I wanted to tell you that the people of the U.S.A. are greatly in your debt. You are on a noble mission and I know that you see things in the media from time to time which make you wonder just how solid your support in our nation is. Well let me tell you something, I travel this nation from coast to...

    The Tennessean (Nashville) ^ | Thursday, 09/12/02 | By HAROLD FORD JR.
    <p>This week, Americans are mourning the anniversary of Sept. 11, a day of shock and sorrow that awakened us to the reality that we are not immune from the dangers of the world. A year after 9/11, as we continue to wage our ongoing war on al-Qaida and international terrorism, our attention has focused on one of the most significant threats to our security — Saddam Hussein's Iraq.</p>

    Email | Unknown | Ed Chenel
    Gun Control From: Ed Chenel, a police officer in Australia. Hi Yanks, I thought you all would like to see the real figures from Down Under. It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced by law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by our own government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars. The first year results are now in: Australia- wide, assaults are up 8.6%; Australia- wide, armed robberies are up 44% (yes, 44%!) In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300%. (Note that...

    <p>MOUNT JULIET — State Rep. Mae Beavers has lived for the past two years at a suburban home outside her legislative district, neighbors said yesterday, and building records show that she once certified the home as her ''personal residence.''</p> <p>However, the Republican lawmaker also maintains an apartment inside the district that she considers her ''legal residence,'' her attorney said. Beavers' name is on the lease and she pays the rent for the two-bedroom apartment, where she and her husband sometimes stay with her son, lawyer Hugh Green said.</p>

    ONE DOLLAR BILL Take out a one dollar bill, and look at it. The one dollar bill you're looking at first came off the presses in 1957 in its present design. This so-called paper money is in fact a cotton and linen blend, with red and blue minute silk fibers running through it. It is actually material. We've all washed it without it falling apart. A special blend of ink is used, the contents we will never know. It is overprinted with symbols and then it is starched to make it water resistant and pressed to give it that nice...

    At Fox News, the Colonel Who Wasn't Mon Apr 29, 8:56 AM ET By JIM RUTENBERG The New York Times Joseph A. Cafasso knows people; retired admirals, generals, government officials. More to the point, he has said, he knows his way around the netherworld of counterintelligence through contacts he built during a sterling career as a lieutenant colonel in the Special Forces. The Fox News Channel thought it had found an asset when it hired the gruff, barrel-chested former military man as a consultant to help in its coverage of the fighting in Afghanistan. He claimed to have won the...

    The Memphis Commercial Appeal ^ | 02-08-02 | By Bill Dries - dries@gomemphis.com
    The arrest in Memphis of six suspects Wednesday on charges they were getting driver's licenses fraudulently is an isolated incident, officials with the Tennessee Department of Safety said Thursday. Wanda Adams, assistant director of driver licensing for the Department of Safety, said she knew of only one other case of a license examiner's involvement in issuing fraudulent licenses, and it happened two years ago in Davidson County. Roland Colson, executive assistant to Safety Commissioner Denny King, declined to talk about specific measures in place to guard against such fraud. "The more that we tell you on ways or methods that ...

    NASHVILLE, Tenn. –– Service Merchandise Co. Inc., a 42-year-old retail chain that has operated under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection since March 1999, announced Friday that it is going out of business. Company executives said the weak economy and slow sales after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks hurt the company's 2001 results and prevented it from completing its planned business reorganization and emergence from bankruptcy. Service Merchandise, with more than 200 stores in 32 states, reported losses of $180 million in 2000 and as of November had liabilities totaling $1.34 billion and assets of $1 billion. "Given the extraordinarily poor ...

    The Seattle Times ^ | Sunday, November 25, 2001 | By Paula Bock
    A very long article but worth the time to read. EVER SINCE terrorist Ahmed Ressam drove off the ferry from Victoria, B.C., with 135 pounds of bomb ingredients hidden in his trunk, the folks at U.S. Customs - who caught and chased him on foot through the streets of Port Angeles - have wondered many things. Was the Los Angeles airport really his only target? What would've happened if they hadn't caught him? Most of all, why did he pick Port Angeles? Does that mean (and this gives them the creeps) that he scoped them out before that drizzly night? ...

    The federal government says a company here in the US is sending money to Osama Bin Laden, and that company has an office right here in Nashville. NewsChannel 5's Jennifer Kraus spent several hours at that office Thursday, and she found the man who runs it, is now being investigated by the state, and he is no where to be found. Just one day after federal agents raided Al Barakaat offices in Boston, Minneapolis, Seattle, and Columbus, ohio, the Nashville branch was mysteriously quiet. According to the posted business hours, Salama International Incorporated was supposed to be open. Customers ...
