President Bush, right arm over the wicket March 04, 2006

CRAWFORD, Texas — For six days, President Bush has stayed in nearly complete isolation on his ranch here — just mountain-biking and brush-clearing, the White House insisted daily, and seeing only one visitor, his mother-in-law, Jenna Welch. He never even ventured into this little town of 600, not even to the cheeseburger joint that he often uses as a political tool to show that he is in touch with his neighbors. But on New Year's Day, after a brief stop at an Army hospital in San Antonio to visit wounded soldiers, Bush is scheduled to return to the White House...

Today the President and Mrs. Bush enjoyed their second day at Prairie Chapel Ranch in Crawford, Texas. They will remain at the Ranch until the New Year. The President is looking forward to the Alito hearings and his confirmation by the end of January

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Cindy Sheehan, the military mother who made her son's death in Iraq a rallying point for the anti-war movement, plans to tie herself to the White House fence to protest the milestone of 2,000 U.S. military deaths in Iraq. "I'm going to go to Washington, D.C. and I'm going to give a speech at the White House, and after I do, I'm going to tie myself to the fence and refuse to leave until they agree to bring our troops home," Sheehan said in a telephone interview last week as the milestone approached. "And I'll probably get...

Recently I heard one of the female liberal talk show hosts on National Public Radio whining that Bush was appointing people to his second-term Cabinet that thought like he did. Who does she expect him to appoint: Hillary and Bill? I would like to talk about the makeup of Bush's new Cabinet, but first I would like to explore the negative spin the liberal media is putting on the number of "resignations" from Bush's inner circle. I put the word resignations in quotation marks, because any astute observer of the Washington scene knows that government officials at this level seldom...

Today all over the world, the President of the United States, the most powerful man in the entire world came to the aid of his bodyguard. Yahoo news! AFP - Reuters - AP described the incident "the President in the thick of the pushing and shoving match, he reached into the group and pulled Agent Nick Trotta out by the lapel and into the dinner". A conspicuously brave and a very simple act - perhaps he muttered (in Spanish) to the Chilean guards that Nick Trotta, the man they are trying to manhandle was with him. A few words and...

(This is a letter from the brother-in-law of a friend of mine. I took out the LtCol's name as well as his wife's name since I didn't get permission to reveal them. Enjoy...)To my Family and Friends: Thank you very much for your support, As you know I am living in Baghdad...in the Green Zone and within the Embassy Palace Grounds. A little embarrassing that I am not in Fallujah with the boys fighting it out...but I am getting a little gray in the muzzle at 51 plus...so I can live with it. Plus (wife's name) wouldn't have let me...

By Chuck Canterbury National President - Fraternal Order of Police I am often asked by those in the media or outside the membership of our organization why the Fraternal Order of Police chose to endorse the reelection of President George W. Bush over Senator Kerry--the first ever unanimous endorsement of a presidential candidate in the F.O.P.’s nearly ninety year history. Quite simply, it is because under this President promises made are promises kept. It is one thing to claim that you support law enforcement. It’s quite another to actually go out there, roll up your sleeves and work on their...

Bush doing what he does best! :)

Email to Katherine Lopez: PA. FOR W. [KJL] I am a northeast Pennsylvania resident who also happens to work up the road from the stadium where Bush made his first post-convention appearance. As expected, security was tight, traffic was a nightmare, and those of us who had to work had to find ways to get around it. To make it possible I left for work at 5 am this morning. Since we're a bank operations center, I just didn't have the option of saying "another day, time to play hooky." Groggy and tired, I arrived at the location at 5:45...
