Sorry, call it Vanity, but Truth needs a hearing. http://www.onenewsnow.com/vidPlayer.aspx?videoId=15368 LISTEN TO It but have a bicarbonate of soda ready. Obama praising muslims around the world, ‘reminding us’ muslims like all other religions offer peace and equality foR ALL "These rituals remind us (they are) advancing justice, tolerance and the dignity of all human beings. It's a way of advancing oportunity for the world everywhere. like my own Christian faith." To put it mildly - - Balderdash! This creepy guy occupying the White House for 4 years (God bless America by getting him out of America and into some Arab...

Understanding how the Constitution was based on the Declaration of Independence provides the knowledge needed to defend our God-given rights. Would any reasonably prudent businessman sign a proposed contract involving a large-scale venture to be conducted over many years, if the other party admitted that most of the contract's terms were undefined, that some terms were so vague as to be undefinable, and that in the future he intended to interpret all of the contract's provisions in whatever matter might suit his own purposes at that time? Obviously not. Yet this is precisely the theory of "the living Constitution" that...

As the war in Iraq grows more unpopular with increasing number of Americans, Democrats in collusion with the liberal mainstream media, continue to politicize the war by distorting the facts. Claim that President Bush lied about WMD in order to implement a grand strategy by neo-cons well before he took office supposedly aimed at using military force to install democratic regimes friendly to the U.S. throughout the Middle East. However, the left has never adequately answered the following question. If Bush knew there was no WMD, why would he send 150,000 troops into Iraq since his “lie” would be immediately...

GOP presidential nominee John McCain is using the idea of global togetherness to promote “a cap-and-trade system” to battle climate change. He said “Americans and Europeans need to get serious about substantially reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the coming years or we will hand over a much-diminished world to our grandchildren.” According to the Arizona senator, whose opinion column appeared in the March 19 Financial Times, the United States needs to work with Europe to create a replacement for the Kyoto treaty. “We need a successor to Kyoto, a cap-and-trade system that delivers the necessary environmental impact in an economically...

Shock video on YOUTUBE records the beating of 16 yr old Victoria Lindsay who was lured to the home of one attacker, pounded, pummeled, and beaten in the most animalistic way by six teens, who videotaped the whole incident on 30 March and threatened to post the video on the two top visited sites. According to the reports from Lakeland, Florida police authorities, two teens confronted Lindsay as she arrived at a friend's home, where she had been staying temporarily. Another teen confronted when she entered her bedroom and the girls barricaded themselves inside. The girls started beating Victoria like...

Juan Williams, a Fox commentator whose book addresses the 'phony leaders and dead end groups that "promote a Culture of Failure and are undermining Black America,” tells Newsmax that Wright’s sermons reflect “the victim mindset that is so self-defeating in the black community and one that is played on by weak black leadership that chooses to have black people identified as victims rather than inspiring them as people who have overcome. In posing as victims, they say the most prejudiced and vicious things, not only about whites but about America. They call it theology. In fact, it’s nothing but bigotry.”...

In Islamism's Cross Hairs, Mohamad Sifaoui is interviewed by Middle East Quarterly on his article: "I Consider Islamism to Be Fascism" MEQ: Do you believe that moderate Islam exists? Sifaoui: Of course, it does. If the majority of Muslims were not moderate, Islamists would have destroyed the Western world a long time ago. Despite its technological lead, its nuclear power, and all its armies, the Western world would never be able to face an Islamist world entirely convinced by the terrorist cause. One billion people supporting Al-Qaeda would reduce the rest of the world to ashes. Islam contains violent texts...

The CIA's top leaders failed to use their available powers, never developed a comprehensive plan to stop al-Qaida and missed crucial opportunities to thwart two hijackers in the run-up to Sept. 11, the agency's own watchdog concluded in a bruising report released Tuesday. Completed in June 2005 and kept classified until now, the 19-page executive summary finds extensive fault with the actions of senior CIA leaders and others beneath them. "The agency did not always work effectively and cooperatively." The executive summary says U.S. spy agencies, which were overseen by Tenet, lacked a comprehensive strategic plan to counter Osama bin...

The Judiciary Committee hearing chaired by California Democrat Dianne Feinstein took exception to how the case was handled. Ramos and Compean fired at him 15 times, hitting him once before he got away. Compean gathered up the shell casings, and the two agents filed a false report leaving out the shooting. Border agents discharge their weapons all the time - 144 agents have done it throughout the past two years - without being prosecuted. What's impermissible is to shoot someone who represents no threat. It turned out Aldrete-Davila's van contained roughly 750 pounds of marijuana... but doesn't justify shooting him...

nate’s latest “grand” compromise on immigration. For example, we are constantly hearing about temporary workers, guest workers, undocumented workers, Z visas, triggers, amnesty, the shadows, touching base, chain migration, anchor babies, regularization, and a path to citizenship. It all sounds very expensive and very confusing. – who would implement the details of the bill being discussed by our leaders? Who would oversee the new “guest worker program”? Who would make sure the new “workers” paid the fines they would be assessed? Who would calculate their back taxes? Who would make the determination on the level of “regularization” each new “worker”...

WASHINGTON -- Architects of a revived immigration compromise are directing an intense behind-the-scenes bargaining effort to round up enough votes among wavering Republicans to keep it alive. Senate leaders' announcement Thursday that they would allow the bill a second chance came after getting assurances from key negotiators that they could produce enough support to steer the measure through a procedural minefield, including attempts by conservatives to block it. The fragile compromise would grant millions of illegal immigrants lawful status while tightening border security and creating new measures for weeding out illegal workers at job sites. Championed by President Bush, it...

My 72 hours with the draft immigration bill began with an interview with Tony Snow and concluded yesterday afternoon. It yielded just under 10,000 words, spread over a dozen posts. I have had some requests to make the posts available in an easy-to-print and e-mail format, so here they are, beginning with Part 1 of the analysis. Posts on the interview with Tony, the e-mail from the Border Patrol agent, and one on the GOP's predicament follow the series on the draft bill itself. Be sure to read Dean's excellent summary of the situation the GOP finds itself in below....

After a firestormerrupted over the scandal at Walter Reed Hospital, the government acted quickly, for a change. Not only was the general in charge of Walter Reed fired, so was his boss, the Secretary of the Army. Congress will have several hearings. No one expected the torrent of response from millions of vets, about the abysmal government medical care they have suffered for decades. This publicity provides the best chance yet to change that. But when all the publicity is over, will medical care for our veterans just continue as it is? One sure thing is that Americans do not...

Texas Deputy Sheriff Guillermo "Gilmer" Hernandez saw a blue Chevy Suburban run a red light in Rocksprings, a favorite sneak alley for Mexican smugglers of drugs and illegal aliens. The Deputy flipped on his lights and took off after the Suburban,and when the vehicle stopped, got out of his patrol car. The driver gunned the Suburban,attempting to run Hernandez down. He leaped out of the way and fired at the fleeing vehicle, blowing out the left rear tire. Two bullets ricocheted off the pavement, riddled the rear door and a fourth shot also struck the Suburban. The Suburban crashed. Eight...

The coalition of the enemies of freedom has growing power around the world. Its leaders are increasingly bold in hostility to the United States. America is faced with two hard paths in Iraq. We can accept defeat and try to rebuild our position in the region while accommodating these enemies of freedom in Iraq -- sadistic inflictors of atrocities will have defeated both millions of Iraqis who voted self government and the American people who supported them. (or)we can insist on defeating our enemies and the enemies of the Iraqi people by developing strategies and implementing mechanisms necessary to force...

US Bans, Freezes assets of Fifth-largest Iranian Bank "Financial institutions and other companies have begun to re-evaluate their business relationships with Iran. Many leading financial institutions have either scaled back dramatically or terminated entirely their Iran-related business," said Stuart Levey, the treasury's under secretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, at a press conference Tuesday. "They have done so of their own accord, many concluding that they did not wish to be the banker for a regime that funds terrorism, defies the UN security council in pursuing a nuclear program and deliberately conceals the nature of its business." He also pointed...

FROM METTERNICH to JIM BAKER-- The ISG report assumes we can't win in Iraq so we shouldn't try; the reality is the US effort is slowly and steadily succeeding - the longer democracy is guarded in Iraq, the stronger it will root itself in the region. For his part, Baker argued--wrongly--that Saddam Hussein should be spared in the wake of Desert Storm; tolerated Saddam's savage suppression of a Shia revolt we incited, and grudgingly- belatedly- acquiesced in our protection of Kurdish refugees. One of many tragedies of our experience in Iraq is the incompetence of the administration's occupation policy ....

Students stormed the stage at Columbia University's Roone auditorium yesterday, knocking over chairs and tables and attacking Jim Gilchrist, the founder of the Minutemen, a group that patrols the border between America and Mexico. Mr. Gilchrist and Marvin Stewart, another member of his group, were in the process of giving a speech at the invitation of the Columbia College Republicans. They were escorted off the stage unharmed and exited the auditorium by a back door. Having wreaked havoc onstage, the students unrolled a banner that read, in both Arabic and English, "No one is ever illegal." As security guards closed...

Technically, the Lebanon war against Hizbullah is over. In fact, however, Israel remains starkly vulnerable to further rocket attacks, and even more ominously to a still-nuclearizing Iran. Making matters worse, Prime Minister Olmert has yet to openly change course from his indisputably catastrophic plan for realignment and convergence. Why has there been absolutely no learning from lessons of the past? The answer is plain. Israel now marches headlong toward disappearance because its current leaders still fail to understand several essential and interrelated truths. One is that the Jewish State has a distinct and fixed obligation to hold on to its...

Israeli Armed Forces began evacuating from Lebanon this morning while most Americans were deep asleep. Both Israel and Hezbollah are claiming victory. What actually happened? There were no clear victors. But both sides had gains and loses. Hezbollah could have claimed victory under any circumstances other than being exterminated. Simply surviving an attack in force by the feared Israeli Army is a first. All over the Islamic Uuma (Nation), there is ecstatic celebration of this very limited "victory." They have also learned how to slam Israel at a relatively safe distance, through rockets and missiles. Their armed forces have gained...
