Much as it took an exceptionally brave and driven man like Rudolph Guiliani to cripple NYC's mafia infrastructure in the 1980s, today we have one of the most courageous and principled lawmen in the country -Arizona's Sheriff Joe Arpaio- the only one with the not just the ability, but the cajones to turn-over Obama Administration rocks the MSM has been sitting on for four years. Of course the same sycophants that have been intentionally hiding the president's dubious past are none-too-keen on Arpaio's efforts to shed some long-overdue light on all this: the 'mainstream' media have basically avoided coverage of...

Ten people were killed and at least 39 others were wounded in shootings across the (Chicago) city this weekend. Most of the victims, male and female, ranged in age from their mid-teens to 30s, with the notable exception of a 6-year-old girl who was shot dead as she played on the front porch of her home in the Little Village neighborhood. Neighbors said Aliyah Shell was playing on the porch of her home in the 3100 block of South Springfield Avenue about 3:40 p.m. Saturday while her parents sat on the front steps. A small gray pickup truck stopped in...

Cecile Richards, President of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, has described 2011 as “the most difficult year in [Planned Parenthood’s] history.” Well, welcome to 2012. The Alliance Defense Fund, in conjunction with the Susan B. Anthony List, released its summary report on publicly available federal and state audits that identify waste, abuse, and potential fraud by Planned Parenthood and state family planning programs and reveal systemic misuse of nearly $100 million taxpayer dollars. The audits speak for themselves in detailing Planned Parenthood’s misuse of the money that’s been funneled to state family planning programs and Planned Parenthood affiliates. Ten state...

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee are officially trying to cover for Attorney General Eric Holder just before he testifies on Thursday about Operation Fast and Furious, with anti-Second Amendment Ranking Member Elijah Cummings leading the way. Last night, Cummings released a 95 page waste of paper and taxpayer money report, alleging that top Justice Department officials did not authorize the program, despite evidence showing otherwise. The report tries to pin the blame back on a few "rogue" managers in the ATF Phoenix Field Division. This is the same argument we've heard since the beginning of the scandal: it was...

SARAJEVO - US authorities on Tuesday extradited to Bosnia a Muslim ex-soldier accused of taking part in the mass murder of Croat civilians in southern Bosnia-Herzegovina during the Muslim-Croat conflict there in 1993, Bosnia's prosecutor's office said. Edin Dzeko, a 39-year-old naturalized US citizen who moved to the United States in 2001, agreed in November before a judge in Seattle to return to his native Bosnia to face charges that he participated in war crimes.

There's Something Fishy About The White House's $433 Million Investment In A Smallpox Vaccine Becket Adams, The Blaze Nov. 15, 2011, 12:21[Editor's note: smallpox is indeed a horrifying and terrible disease; this cannot be overstated. It is not the intent of this article to mitigate the very real and terrible nature of the disease. The point of this article is to question the White Houses’ intentions in this deal.] Several critics believe that the Obama administration’s $433 million investment in the new ST-246 smallpox vaccine reeks of scandal. How could a multimillion dollar investment in an antiviral pill that could...

Start rattling the chains. Start ratcheting up the hue and cry. Fire up the masses. It's long past time to force mass resignations at, and possible prosecutions of members of, the Obama Justice Department --and, more broadly, of the West Wing itself. Forgive all the links, but the scope of the corruption is so large as to defy adequate descriptions, in a single column, of each abomination. The reality is that these Obama/Holder minions at DoJ are dangerous to the very heart of constitutional, republican (small 'r') government.

An Arab MK said that Israel in effect will cease to exist if it does not see the break-in at the embassy in Cairo and sanctions by Turkey as “only the beginning” of a reaction its “crimes.” Ibrahim Sarsur, of the Ra'am-Ta'al party, charged that Israel’s reactions to the break-in at the Cairo embassy Friday and Turkey’s recent sanctions against Israel “are a death blow to peaceful relations.” The Israeli legislator from the Israeli Arab community accused Israel of behavior that “damages the Arab people and their national honor” by what he called the “criminal acts" against Turkey that resulted...

L.A. County sheriff's detectives are investigating graffiti scrawls left on the walls of a Lancaster strip mall as a potential hate crime because of their call for violence against homosexuals, authorities said. Late Saturday night or early Sunday, someone sprayed several anti-gay writings on the walls of three businesses in the strip mall at 44206 10th Street West, said Sgt. Craig Husbands of the Sheriff's Department. Affected businesses include a hamburger and steak restaurant called the Texas Cattle Company, and a Round Table Pizza eatery, Husbands said. It was unclear if the scrawls were related to the state of New...

A federal prosecutor has launched a secret grand jury to investigate possible CIA war crimes at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, Time magazine reported. Federal prosecutor John Durham, who was first appointed to probe the destruction of CIA interrogation videotapes by Attorney General Michael Mukasey in 2008, is now working on an expanded probe authorized by the Obama Justice Department that includes cases of alleged abuse of terror suspects in U.S. custody. Time reported on Monday that one Durham-issued subpoena said the federal grand jury “is conducting an investigation of possible violations of federal criminal laws involving War Crimes...

Dr. Archibald Rudolph Reiss Aleksandra's Note: Three proverbs capture the essential nature of how things work in the Balkans. They are: "History repeats itself", "The first casualty of war is truth", and "What's old is new again". The more one researches the history of the Balkans the more one becomes struck with just how relevant the past is to today's events. The unfortunate thing about this phenomenon is that those in power and the policymakers and the historians and journalists who evaluate what is going on presently never seem to pay attention to the fact that the same lies keep...

Children as young as eight are being raped in front of their families by Gaddafi's forces in Libya, according to a leading charity. Aid workers described horrific stories of widespread sexual abuse, including one incident in which a group of girls was abducted and held hostage for four days. When they were finally released, they were too traumatised to speak. Other children have described being forced to watch as their fathers were murdered and their mothers raped. They told Save The Children that they themselves were then brually beaten before being released. Harrowing stories of sexual assaults against women and...

After reading the article, "Rebels execute black immigrants while forces kidnap others", I was incensed as many are. It looks like Obama has committed another crime against the citizens of America by giving aid, comfort, weapons, money, and moral support to those who have not just attacked us in Afghanistan and Iraq, but who are also committing crimes against humanity in Libya. We all know this is not the first time Obama has committed a crime that is worthy of impeachment and incarceration in Leavenworth. So I would like to know if anyone has a list of all his...

Microsoft's Digital Crimes Unit, working with federal law enforcement agents, has brought down the world's largest spam network, Rustock. Rustock, at its peak, was a botnet of around 2 million spam-sending zombies capable of sending out 30 billion spam email per day. Microsoft's wholesale slaughter of Rustock could reduce worldwide spam output by up to 39%. Rustock was taken down, piece by piece, in a similar way to the Mega-D botnet. First the master controllers, the machines that send out commands to enslaved zombies, were identified. Microsoft quickly seized some of these machines located in the U.S. for further analysis,...

A Charles Manson follower has been ordered to remain in prison after parole board officials rejected her claim she was a changed woman. The two-member panel said the viciousness and notoriety of Patricia Krenwinkel's crimes outweighed her efforts at rehabilitation behind bars. Krenwinkel, now 63, wept and apologised during the hearing, but officials said the deaths of seven people in the 1969 Tate-LaBianca murders 'remained relevant'.

After his flamboyant claim of being only man in America to look his fellow countrymen in the eye and state factually that Barry Hussein Soetoro was indeed born in the U.S.A. the Governor of Hawaii has investigated the president’s birth certificate only to find that what he thought was real is a thing of hearsay and political legend. Nevertheless, he is told the fact that the president was born was actually written down somewhere deep within the recesses of the Hawaiian archives. His investigation at least uncovered that much. Something is written down? And it actually exists in the archives...

HAWAII GROUND REPORT: Could Hawaiian Governor Neil Abercrombie not be as incompetent and foolish as he appears, but orchestrating a deliberate birth certificate recovery dead end to cover his own papakole? UPDATED: Mystery solved! Reason Obama will not release birth certificate is because his name is legally written “Barry Soetoro” on it Here’s an interesting Ground Report from Hawaii that contains an ingenious theory about Hawaiian Governor Neil Abercrombie’s bizarre backtrack on releasing Obama’s birth certificate. Remember, Abercrombie promised that once he was elected Governor he would prove Obama’s birth certificate existed because he would march down to the Hall...

Notwithstanding Obama’s lack of constitutional eligibility for the office he occupies as a direct result of his father’s citizenship, Obama can’t even prove he is an American. In fact the only thing we can confirm about Obama is that he is a foreigner–foreign to America, foreign to the english language, and ignorant of our history. At this late date, after millions of dollars spent, people mysteriously dying, and the jailing of a decorated Army officer–all of whom questioned Obama’s legality–any so called ‘birth certificate’ produced now is nothing more than suspect, and it is more than likely another faked document…a...

There seem to be some hints that press and other kinds of investigations into the legality of Obama's presidency because of a foreign birth are continuing. What if someone discovers that Obama has been serving unconsitutionally and illegally? Do the legislation, executive orders and so forth that he has signed off on remain legally in effect? Does not seem to me that there is any precedent for determining the status of such things We know the MSM et al are attempting to intimidate those who are carrying out these investigations. But what if . . .

Is Monroe County Law Enforcement Complicit in the murder of Jim Miller? On July 20, a local television report stated that a Monroe County sheriff’s deputy was self-declared a “suspect” in the murder of Jim Miller by the TBI. Two days afterward, he was “cleared” of any involvement. However, a month later, he was reportedly fired from the department. At the same time, it was reported that Bebb stated that “the sheriff’s office was not being investigated for Miller’s death.” Why not?

The U.N. is at it again, trying to use its "power" to control the U.S.A. Naturally that control leans toward the extreme, anti-American, left-wing of the political spectrum. In a meeting of the UN Human Rights Council, those that stand against America had a gripe session where supposed violations of human rights were leveled against the United States. And what sort of force was at the forefront of these calumnies? Unions, of course. One of the reports that was entered into the "evidence" against the U.S. was prepared by the AFL-CIO and other American unions. The USHRN position paper on...

As the United Nations General Assembly convenes for their annual session in New York, much of the attention has focused on Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his declarations that capitalism is near death while the "future" belongs to his country. Four years ago it was Venezuela's Hugo Chavez who captured the headlines with a theatrical rant referring to an appearance made by President George W. Bush as, "the devil came here yesterday, and it smells of sulfur still today." How did such a respectable international governmental organization, one that fought a bloody war including 16-member states which beat back a...

I never expected President Barack Obama to be promoting my new book, "Crimes Against Liberty," but that's virtually what's happened with his recent speeches on the economy. It's as if he's determined to validate every premise I assert in "Crimes Against Liberty." All the elements are there: his thin-skinned narcissism, his deceit, his militant partisanship, his bullying and his dogged adherence to his disastrous policy agenda against all evidence of its failure and against the express will of the American people. His full-throated class warfare was on clear display. With him, it's always us against them. He praised "Wisconsin's working...

Scathing Congress report slams Obama's 'covert, criminal activity' President charged with illegally using taxpayer money to manipulate public August 16, 2010 By Jerome R. Corsi © 2010 WorldNetDaily Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif. Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., the ranking Republican on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, issued a scathing staff report today charging that the White House has "used the machinery of the Obama campaign to tout the president's agenda through inappropriate and sometimes unlawful public relations and propaganda initiatives." An advance pre-publication copy of the report, shared by Issa's Washington office with WND, accuses the White House...

With all the negative reports being printed in the news media here are the statistics they fail to report. • 83% of warrants for murder in Phoenix are for illegal aliens. • 86% of warrants for murder in Albuquerque are for illegal aliens. • 75% of those on the most wanted list in Los Angeles , Phoenix and Albuquerque are illegal aliens • 24.9% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals • 40.1% of all inmates in Arizona detention centers are Mexican nationals • 48.2% of all inmates in New Mexico detention centers are Mexican nationals •...

Jackson County will no longer prosecute people for certain gun related offenses. The District Attorney made his statement Friday following the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling earlier in the week that says gun laws should be left up to the states. Jackson County's District Attorney Gerald Fox says it's every law-abiding American citizen's right to arm themselves for self defense," The 2nd Amendment as part of the Bill of Rights really does protect an individual American's right to keep and bare arms for defense of self, home, family and community."

President Obama’s Supreme Court nominee was a key figure in covering up at least two of Bill Clinton’s scandals although the true extent of her role won’t ever be known because the files will remain secret. The Clinton Library has released more than 40,000 pages of records from Elena Kagan’s tenure as a top White House counsel, but the most substantive material is being withheld under executive privilege by a commander-in-chief best known for getting impeached by Congress and selling trade mission seats to Chinese Communists. The crucial files were requested by the Senate Judiciary Committee as it prepares for...

During the healthcare reform debate, many Democrats, liberals and other supporters of the law compared the mandate to carry health insurance to similar mandates for having automobile insurance. The Arizona anti-illegal immigration law has a similar analogy to an automobile provision. In many states, including Indiana and Kentucky, police officers can cite drivers for seatbelt violations, but only after they have stopped those drivers for committing another driving offense first. Officers cannot pull drivers over simply for noticing that they and/or their passengers are not wearing seatbelts. The seatbelt violation then becomes an additional charge on top of the initial...

Bill S. 1346 is fast moving forward and so is the Obama world order. An order in which we are the world and they are us....kumbaya and all that crap. The bill is all about the left's thirst for Cheney/Bushitler blood and in the end will diminish are already diminished status as a world power. Introduced by Democratic Senators Durbin, Cardin, Feingold, Feinstein, and Leahy in June ‘09 and considered by the Senate Judiciary Committee May 6th, the Crimes Against Humanity Act would more than just ”[open] the door to demands of reciprocity from other nations that seek to prosecute US military personnel and government officials for...

Hundreds of West Bank settlers would likely act violently against Palestinians in response to Israeli government sanctions such as an extension of the freeze on settlement construction, according to the latest assessments in the IDF Central Command. On Friday morning, Palestinians from a village near Kedumim discovered two vehicles that had been set on fire the night before; one of them was spray-painted with the words “Price Tag,” a term indicating that the rampage was the work of settlers angry over the government’s curbs on settlement construction. In an effort to prevent retaliation, the Israel Police and the Shin Bet...

The bill mandates that police determine people's immigration status if there is a 'reasonable suspicion' they are undocumented. Immigrant rights groups say it amounts to a police state. Reporting from Denver Arizona lawmakers on Tuesday approved what foes and supporters agree is the toughest measure in the country against undocumented immigrants, making it a crime to be an illegal immigrant in Arizona and allowing local police to determine whether people are in the country legally. The measure, long sought by opponents of illegal immigration, passed in the state House of Representatives. The state Senate passed a similar measure earlier this...

This story has actually been around for a few months, but glad to see it’s finally gaining some traction. Last fall, one of the founders of Human Rights Watch came out and accused the organization of being irrationally anti-Israel. To make matters worse, members of the organization thought nothing of fund raising in Saudi Arabia, where the organization’s criticism of Israel was no doubt a selling point. And if this weren’t bad enough, the Times of London has an in-depth piece about the ensuing scandal when it was revealed that one of the organization’s lead investigators and vocal Israel critic...

The illegal immigrants being held in area jails are increasingly charged with violent crimes as law enforcement agencies focus on taking murderers, rapists and gang members off the streets, according to a review by the Washington Examiner. Nearly half of the criminal charges filed against the 274 inmates who were being held during the last week of February on Immigration and Customs Enforcement warrants in Fairfax, Alexandria and D.C. jails related to violence, drugs and gang participation. A senior ICE official said the agency has made targeting violent criminals who are in the country illegally a priority. "By increasing our...

Analysis and text of "Anti-Bullying" bill S2283 -- includes unrelated "hate crimes" language to punish free speech across Massachusetts! Also adds layers of costly bureaucracy to schools, mandatory reporting, openings for more homosexual programs. Will it even solve the problem? SECTION 5. Section 98C of chapter 272 is hereby amended by striking out the first sentence and inserting in place thereof the following: “Whoever publishes any false material whether written, printed, electronic, televised, or broadcast with intent to maliciously promote hatred of any group of persons in the commonwealth because of race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, sex, sexual orientation,...

Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced today that it has obtained documents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) detailing federal investigations into the alleged corrupt activities of Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN). The documents reference serious allegations of corruption and voter registration fraud by ACORN as well as the Obama administration’s decision to shut down a criminal investigation without filing criminal charges. The documents include background information on two specific complaints filed in October 2008 by Lucy Corelli and Joseph Borges, Republican Registrars of Voters in Stamford and Bridgeport,...

Black Gangs Vented Hatred For Whites In Downtown Attacks'I Hate You F---ing White People,' Woman Shouts At Victim Black gangs roaming downtown Denver often vented their hatred for white victims before assaulting and robbing them during a four-month crime wave, according to interviews and court records obtained by 7NEWS. "I hate you f---ing white people," said a black woman in a large group of black men, according to the victim who was beaten up as he and three buddies left a LoDo bar after midnight on Aug. 30. "F---- you, white boys," the woman added, according to the 25-year-old Westminster...

Washington - The number of hate crimes in the United States climbed slightly in 2008, while anti-gay or religion-motivated attacks surged markedly, according to new government data Monda

LEXINGTON, Mo. (Nov. 11) - Authorities on Wednesday searched a rural property in western Missouri for bodies and buried glass jars containing notes written more than 15 years ago by children who may have documented sexual abuse by five members of their own family.

A Palestinian Authority official has admitted that while the PA has been urging the International Criminal Court (ICC) to pursue war crimes charges against IDF troops, the only evidence the PA has been able to supply is the Goldstone panel's report, which was approved by the United Nations Human Rights Commission last week. PA Justice Minister Ali Al-Khashan said Saturday that anyone expecting quick action by the court on the alleged Israeli war crimes needed to "have patience," because "we do not have any documentation for the Israeli crimes." He said that the PA was hoping to join the ICC...

"My a**," as a certain local blogger might say. Two black kids pummel the living daylights out of a white kid on a bus, but it isn't racially motivated. Uh-huh. Elsewhere, our liberal elite talking heads dissect language, body and soul to "discover" that racism is behind virtually any criticism of Barack Obama. Ironically, CBS today asked if Democrats will "finally" get hate crimes legislation passed. Well, that's terrific, but the sad joke about "hate" crimes (and their legislation) is how they're so selectively applied. Lord knows how I've written about that in the past. If an unprovoked beating has...

Gov. Bill Ritter's plan to cut the state budget through inmate releases could reduce Colorado's prison population by 1,000 in a year and immediately save $19 million. It will also almost certainly accelerate the commission of new crimes, and could force layoffs from a privately run prison. Ritter's plan calls for trimming parole supervision for some inmates already out of prison, and releasing some non-sex-offender inmates early and placing them on parole. A total of 5,700 inmates or parolees could see their status change as a result of Ritter's cut. A Metropolitan State College of Denver professor says it's unavoidable...

A game of Monopoly has landed a Michigan man in jail. WDIV-TV reported a 54-year-old man was playing the board game Saturday night with a female friend when he tried to buy Park Place and Boardwalk from her.

I've been listening for a couple of hours. It's really something. Multiple domestics, drunks, shots fired, domestics, stabbings, drug dealing, accidents, gangs, fights, music too loud, .. God bless and protect all those out there protecting us in every town in America.

BLUFFDALE -- A Bluffdale man is in critical condition after being shot over a misunderstanding. Salt Lake County sheriff's investigators say David Serbeck and the president of his homeowners' association were in an SUV near 1570 West and 13400 South at 11 p.m. Tuesday on neighborhood watch when they approached two girls. Lt. Don Hutson says those two girls went home and told one of their fathers that they were being stalked. The father, Reginald Campos, then went out in his own SUV and found the men. "Words were exchanged. There was a verbal altercation," Hutson says. "Unfortunately, Mr. Campos...

Does the world need an overdue Amnesty International report to know that Israel has committed war crimes in Gaza? Israel has been boasting about war crimes in Gaza, the West Bank (do we have to mention Jenin?) and Lebanon for the past four decades. The report "urged" Israel not to use "artillery, white phosphorus and other imprecise weapons in densely populated areas". Otherwise, Hamas shares equal responsibility of the massive number of deaths in the Israeli war on Gaza in December and January, according to the report. Amnesty perhaps thinks it has done justice to the Palestinians in Gaza by...

... But this Memorial Day weekend he is calling ministers to fight for those freedoms – from their pulpits. "Pastors, if you wonder who is to blame for America's slide from the 'Ozzie and Harriet' morality of yesteryear to the 'Brokeback Mountain' immorality of today, look in the mirror," said Pastor Paul Blair of Fairview Baptist Church in Edmond, Okla. Blair is founder of a group called Reclaiming Oklahoma for Christ, an outreach to pastors that encourages church leaders to take a stand against the spread of immorality in American culture. He is urging pastors across the nation to stop...

THE HOUSE APPROVED federal hate crimes legislation (H.R. 1913), by a decisive 249- 175 margin. But in a shocking move, Democrats killed language that would have excluded pedophiles from receiving protections afforded in the measure. Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) added the amendment during Judiciary Committee hearings, which stated that sexual orientation in the bill specifically be defined as not including pedophiles. According to Ted Pike, director of the National Prayer Network, Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisc.) objected, saying that King’s amendment was “unnecessary and inflammatory.” Ms. Baldwin claimed that sexual orientation, as defined by the Hate Crimes Statistics Act of 1990,...

The House this afternoon passed an expanded hate crimes bill that would protect gay victims, and its chief sponsor in the Senate called for prompt final action. The measure passed 249-175 over the objections of conservatives, the Associated Press reports.
