Senator Harry Reid claims to be an ethical politician and he often employs his Mormon religion in order to demonstrate his alleged immaculacy. However, the reality is that he is, in fact, one of the most ethically challenged politicians in office today. This report will review his alliances with corrupt individuals, his support of ACORN, his ties with organized crime figures and his chronic failure to comply with campaign finance laws. Harry Reid’s Alliance with Jack Abramoff Soon after the Jack Abramoff scandal broke, Reid took the lead in attacking Republicans for fostering a “culture of corruption.” (1) But shortly...

I saw this posted on a local forum and thought it would be a great name for someone who wants to gather together all of the empty suit news, humor and data on Obama. Remember the anti-Bush site AllHatNoCattle.com? Well how about AllTurbaanNoCamel.com (the domain is available according to godaddy.com as are all the other domain suffixes)? Get it before someone else does.

Here is the second part of Glenn Beck on Fox & Friends this morning - which I just found - saying he is going to expose something this week on his show that will result in "people going to jail." "People will go to jail," he said. Beck makes the statement at the 2:30 mark of the video. Hat Tip: Thanks to several Free Republic readers who indicated Beck had said this. (VIDEO)

While government leaders were well-intentioned in setting up the Troubled Asset Relief Program, it’s a “lousy program,” U.S. Bancorp CEO Richard Davis said at a business leaders forum Tuesday. U.S. Bank was told, not asked, to participate in the program, which is a Darwinian attempt to “synthesize” weaker banks into stronger banks through consolidation, Davis said at the forum, held at Thrivent Financial for Lutherans in Minneapolis. U.S. Bank (NYSE: USB) sold $6.6 billion in preferred stock with warrants to the U.S. Treasury in November through its capital purchase program. “There’s no A, R or P in TARP,” Davis said,...

Us Weekly Magazine is getting hammered and losing thousands of subscribers over it's unbelievable attacks on Sarah Palin. Someone put together a site called usweekly.com and did a major Obama expose. You might enjoy it. OBAMA EXPOSE

I have previously requested a copy of Barack Obama's birth certificate. Janice Okubo, Public Information Office of the Communications office of the State of Hawaii, responding on July 3, has chosen to refuse to provide a copy of the birth certificate. This blog consists of three parts. First, I quote Ms. Okubo's letter, dated July 3, 2008, verbatim. Her letter responds to my inquiry under the Freedom of Information Act. Although Ms. Okubo points out that the Freedom of Information applies to the federal government and not the states, most states, including Hawaii, have similar statutes. With respect to birth...

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21, 2007 – Ongoing Multinational Force Iraq operations against terrorists are focused in the country’s northern provinces, where al Qaeda activity is heavy, a U.S. military official said from Baghdad. Al Qaeda has gravitated north because they’ve been pushed out of Anbar province, in the west, and improved security has constrained their operations in Baghdad and areas south, Air Force Col. Donald Bacon, chief of strategy and plans for Multinational Force Iraq’s Strategic Communications Division, said in a conference call with online journalists and “bloggers” Dec. 19. Operation Iron Reaper, which began the last week of November, is...

The blonde teenager, waiting to go into the operating theatre, is 16 years old and nearly 16 weeks pregnant. She'll be one of up to 60 women having an abortion that day at the Marie Stopes clinic in south London. She realised she was pregnant about eight weeks earlier, but couldn't pluck up the courage to tell her mother. The weeks ticked by. She agonised over what to do: she had plans to go to college; her boyfriend said he'd stand by her whatever she decided. She had considered having an abortion in secret, but eventually her mum guessed and...

THERE is a beautiful congruency about Al Gore receiving the Nobel Peace Prize 24 hours after a High Court judge had declared it illegal to screen his 'man-made' climate change propaganda film An Inconvenient Truth in schools, unless accompanied by contradictory information to correct its scientific falsehoods. The judge identified nine scientific errors that would mislead pupils. It takes more than nine inconvenient untruths, however, to deflect the Nobel Peace Prize committee from its political purpose. For aficionados of irony, last week was a deeply satisfying experience. To see the humbugs of the Nobel committee embracing the charlatan Gore to...

After untold hours of research and editing the film together, I'd like to announce to the Free Republic community the word premiere of my documentary film detailing China's nuclear and political espionage campaign against the United States during President Bill Clinton's administration in the 1990s. All the main characters are there. From Jiang Zemin to John Huang, Mr. Wu, Johnny Chung, Ron Brown, Bernard Schwartz and Loral, James Riady and Lippo to Maria Hsia, the Hsi Lai Buddhist Temple, and Charlie Trie. Bill and Hillary are not going to like this. :) The film is available for viewing for free...

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's proposed budget relies on rosy revenue projections and could expose California to serious financial risk, the state's nonpartisan legislative analyst's office said Friday. "The budget contains a significant number of downside risks and is based on a number of optimistic assumptions," said Legislative Analyst Elizabeth Hill, in her first review of the $143.4 billion spending plan the governor released Wednesday. "Its key proposals also raise serious policy and legal issues. Adverse outcomes in just a few of these areas could easily eliminate most or all of the proposed reserve." Schwarzenegger said his proposed budget for the fiscal...

WASHINGTON – The official heading investigations for the Transportation Security Administration nixed Islamic groups in a Y2K report on terrorist threats, say security officials who worked with him in the Clinton administration. They say their former boss, David Holmes, who headed security at the Commerce Department after leading former Vice President Al Gore's protective detail, zeroed in on white militia groups in a 1999 threat analysis. Holmes ordered his counterintelligence officers to gather information on terrorist groups to protect Decennial census enumerators, who had received anonymous threats in some parts of the country. Commerce officials who worked on the case...

Freerepublic's audience spotted this very early on...Looks like the Arab journalist and of course his editors are the same lying sacks of monkey dung as CNN, the New York slimes, and Islamacists in general. http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/TV/02/11/easonjordan.cnn/ (he didn't resign because the remarks were "controversial"-he resigned because he lied at a conference and stated that the "U.S military is deliberately murdering U.S journalists", then he lied about his lie saying he never said it, but there was tape of him. Then in his resignation he lied, about lyinng about his lie, saying he was "misunderstood"...

Time magazine once called author David Horowitz "a clear and ruthless thinker. What he says has an indignant sanity about it." n it he offers "indignant sanity" as he draws blazing portraits of some of the worst leftist propagandists now infesting America's colleges and universities. Those unfamiliar with the extent to which the nation's campuses are being held captive by left-wing radicals will find his revelations shocking. He goes about the task of unmasking the most virulent of academic terrorists who brook no dissent from their student victims. "More than 90 percent of the professors profiled in this text have...

JACKSONVILLE BEACH -- A police officer has been reprimanded for forcing a handcuffed woman to walk from a patrol car to a holding cell with her breast exposed. Investigators said Officer Anthony Dziedzicki violated the 26-year-old woman's privacy and used poor judgment in not taking prompt action to help Crystal Lee Bange fix her dress, which fell down at the arrest scene of her drunken driving arrest as she sat in the patrol car.

The goal of Grizzly People, its website explains, is "to elevate the grizzly to the kindred state of the whale and dolphin through supportive education in the hopes that humans will learn to live in peace with the bear, wilderness and fellow humans." But, as Werner Herzog's latest documentary, "Grizzly Man," demonstrates, the best way for man to live at peace with the bear is to not romanticize grizzlies and to give them a wide berth. Alas, Grizzly People founder Timothy Treadwell had Disney-fied the object of his affection. So, as Herzog chronicles, the 46-year-old bear activist and his 37-year-old...

London 28.08.05 | The reporters covering Venezuelan events for international news outlets are a very dodgy bunch. From former BBC Venezuelan 'expert' Richard Gott, a sycophantic Chavez fan and former KGB informant, to the NYT enfant terrible Juan Forero, we have witnessed how the political affinities of these individuals keep blocking the way to the attainment of objective journalism and reporting. Only this week; The Guardian, The NYT, The Washington Post, the BBC and now Reuters have produced a string of astonishingly biased articles that not only are riddled with inaccuracies, furthermore continue hammering upon the simplistic premise that Chavez...
