Dear John Ziegler Mailing List Members: This Saturday will likely be the final chance to see my film "Blocking the Path to 9/11" in a Los Angeles theater. This screening is particularly important because it is part of the Valley Film Festival where the movie is up for Best Documentary. It would mean a lot to borh me and the incredibly important story in the film if you live in the LA area and you could come support the cause. The screening is at 4:30 pm this Saturday in North Hollywood. You can order tickets via this lnik: http://valleyfilmfest.tix.com/Event.asp?Event=155309 After...

...The problems began last fall when [principal David] Davis, who did not return phone messages from The Associated Press, admonished the senior, who is identified only as "Jane Doe" in court records and whose friends say she doesn't want to talk about the experience. The friends donned gay pride T-shirts and rainbow-colored clothing when they found out how Davis had treated her, and he questioned many of them about their sexuality and association with gay students. Some were suspended. "Davis embarked on what can only be characterized as a 'witch hunt' to identify students who were homosexual and their supporters,...

MARIETTA, Pa. -- A former tough-on-crime Pennsylvania lawmaker has adopted a new and unpopular cause, taking into his home three sex offenders who couldn't find a place to live -- a stand that has angered neighbors, drawn pickets and touched off a zoning dispute. As cities across the nation pass ever-tighter laws to keep out people convicted of sex crimes, Tom Armstrong said he is drawing on his religious belief in forgiveness and sheltering the three men until he can open a halfway house for sex offenders. ''I think that our system is trying to treat everybody under a particular...

Jim Robinson is in surgery today and the last thing he needs to be worried about is whether or not the freepathon is going to continue for another day/week/month. In the words of "Larry, The cable guy"... LETS GET 'ER DONE!!

Dear John Ziegler Mailing List Members: I want to update you on a couple of important matters. First, I wil be hosting a series of special shows next week (April 21-24) on KGIL-AM radio in Los Angeles. The shows will run Monday-Thursday from 6-8 pm and will feature different female co-hosts whose names I know you will recognize. The station is 1260-AM in Los Angeles and 540-AM in Orange County/San Diego. I hope you will be able to listen and perhaps even participate. Secondly, you may have heard that my former partner at KFI Leah Brandon has left the station...

   Prayer Request for Jim Robinson Original post: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1995434/posts?page=1  Sorry about being gone all day yesterday. I was at the VA hospital where a team of doctors and cardiovascular surgeons were examining my legs and trying to come up with a treatment plan for the circulatory problem I've been fighting for the last several years. The good news is they think they can save my legs! Hurrah! And I will probably be out most of today too. I'm going back to the VA this morning for some sonogram tests. More on that on another thread later. By the way, I...

MISSION VIEJO — Ronnie Guyer summarized Saddleback College's new veterans' memorial when his speech at the college's campus Wednesday turned into song. "To fallen soldiers let us sing, where no rockets fly nor bullets wing. Our broken brothers let us bring to the mansions of the Lord," he said. The words come from the hymn "The Mansions of the Lord," written for the 2002 film "We Were Soldiers" and sung at the funeral of President Ronald Reagan. Guyer, who served in the Vietnam War, joined three fellow veterans at Saddleback College for a forum discussing the significance of the new...

It would be difficult to conjure up a more dramatic illustration of just how utterly broken our public dialogue is than what happened at Senator Barbara Boxer’s Burbank “Press Conference” to announce (to the surprise of absolutely no one) that she was voting against the nomination of Judge Samuel Alito to the U.S. Supreme Court. After all, what could be more basic to a productive and healthy exchange of ideas in a democratic republic than asking questions about the validity of very strong statements that an elected official makes in justifying a decision as important as deciding to vote against...

This website is dedicated to telling the totally true story of John Ziegler's experience at KFI in Los Angeles. John realizes that the creation of this website probably ends any chance that he will ever again hit the highest levels of talk radio and may very well end his talk radio career totally. But he is at peace with that potential consequence because he feels there are certain truths that are worth the risk to tell, especially when you are really the only person in the world in a position to do so. This website is devoted to one of...

NASHUA – Speaking to about 40 BAE Systems workers in what he called a "town hall meeting," Republican presidential candidate Duncan Hunter again blasted an opponent because his former company is doing business with a Chinese defense contractor. Hunter, a U.S. congressman from California, called on Bain Capital, a company founded by former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, another GOP presidential contender, to drop its strategic partnership with Chinese defense contractor Huawei Technologies in a bid to buy U.S. defense contractor 3Com. Hunter will also ask Romney to use his influence with Bain to end the proposed merger between Huawei and...

I hope everyone tunes in tomorrow, 11/13/2007 to listen to John Ziegler's last show on KFI. A man of class, courage and talent. A rare find in the media today. Ziegler has outed Barbara Boxer as a fraud, exposed John Kerry's bad joke that probably ended his Presidential Hopes, guest-hosted for Drudge. One of the good guys.

By Bill Steigerwald May 25, 2007 The last time Ron Paul ran for the White House, he came in third behind George Bush I and Michael Dukakis. Not a bad showing for the Pittsburgh-born medical doctor who has been elected nine times to the U.S. House of Representatives since 1978 as a libertarian Republican in a mostly rural district on the Texas Gulf Coast. Unfortunately, when Dr. Paul ran for president in 1988 it was atop the Libertarian Party ticket, which is why his vote total -- 431,750 -- was about 48.5 million behind Bush I's. For the 2008 election,...

Today I got in my car, turned on XM 124 since it was after 3PM. Usually I catch Hannity at that time, because on the XM, all there is is him and Dr. Laura and of course some great music.. but I digress... Let me preface this by saying for the week, week and half, Hannity has been all over DNC and their winter meetings where they had an IMAM open the session with a prayer... This imam's prayer is all over you tube so I won't get into the content, except to say it was very anti-American, anti-Sematic....

WASHINGTON - President Bush said Thursday he hopes Enron Corp. founder Kenneth Lay's "heart was right with the Lord" when he died before he could be sentenced on fraud and conspiracy charges. Bush called Lay, who was a friend of the Bush family and a large donor to the president's campaign, "a good guy." He said he was shocked to hear both about the Enron scandal and Lay's death this week from a heart attack at age 64. "I was really surprised," Bush said on CNN's "Larry King Live." "You know, my hope is that his heart was right with...

John McCain showed such moral uprightness in 2008--Kerry Tried to use him as a pawn but Kerry found him to be more of a Bishop or a Knight, the dudes a POW, he's sensitive yet again-he stands up for whats right. An Officer and a Gentleman---Questions? Answers? Whatever your race or creed, I think this guy deserves a serious look, more serious than 2004.

Some of you may remember the review of Rick Santorum's book that I posted a couple weeks ago on this thread: Give the Gift of Santorum this Christmas. Well, some of the usual suspects on the left obviously stood up and took notice, too, and did what comes natural to them--they spam voted the good reviews out of the 'spotlight review' section and voted in two negative reviews, one of which is simply an exercise in name-calling. Note that this is not an Amazon.com-inspired attempt at trashing Rick. It's a coordinated use of the Amazon.com "helpful" buttons by political ideologues...

Jim Henry, a former Kingston mayor and state House minority leader who unsuccessfully sought the Republican nomination for governor in 2002, still has his sights on the state's top executive position at a time when he will be honored as a "good guy" at an awards program in Nashville on Monday. Henry is one of four people being recognized by the Nashville Women's Political Caucus at the 13th annual Good Guys Awards at the Loews Vanderbilt Hotel. Tommy Burnett, another former legislator from Jamestown and now chief lobbyist with the Ingram Group in Nashville, also will be honored. Henry isn't...

Listening live to Rush Limbaugh. Chime in!

As I pulled up to the post office 30 minutes ago with my family, I noticed a $100 bill just laying on the pavement. I picked it up and got back inside the car. The temptation of course was to keep it, but we decided to leave our phone number with the post office so if someone came claiming to have lost something they could get it back by describing it. (a $100 bill) While waiting for my wife to come back from inside my daughter and I noticed a middle aged woman appear to be looking for something a...

Sunday, Nov. 7, 2004 Rove Credits Swiftvets With 'Energizing' Bush Vote Bush-Cheney re-election architect Karl Rove gave credit on Sunday to the Swift Boat Veterans and POWs for Truth for exposing John Kerry's anti-war past and energizing Republican voters to turn out at the polls. Asked what role anti-Kerry ads sponsored by the Swiftvets played in Bush's re-election victory, Rove told "Fox News Sunday": "They were made important by the fact that Senator Kerry, at his convention, really talked ... only about Vietnam." The top White House adviser explained: "I was amazed by the people that I met around the...

  Violence Won't Stop Iraqi Power Turnover By Rudi WilliamsAmerican Forces Press Service WASHINGTON, April 18, 2004 – It was probably predictable that insurgents would try to prevent the transfer of power to Iraqis on June 30, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice said on ABC's "This Week" today. The insurgents "been aggressive and violent in the last couple of weeks," Rice told host George Stephanopoulos. "We're responding to that. We're also responding politically by working with the people on the ground, including local leaders and members of the governing council." She said the people the coalition is working with...

  Vietnam Vet Brings Message Of Hope To Bulldog Brigade Soldiers BAGHDAD, Iraq - Sometimes, when you’re having a bad day, it helps to talk to someone who’s had a worse day and made it through. For the soldiers of the Bulldog Brigade, still feeling the effects of a “bad day” announcement of a 6-week extension to their combat deployment in Iraq the day before, hearing Dave Roever talk was the shot in the arm that most of 3rd Brigade’s soldiers needed. “I want to tell you from the bottom of my heart as I stand here before you...

Koizumi: Japan Has 'responsibility' to Share Dangers of Rebuilding IraqBy Audrey McAvoy Associated Press Writer Published: Jan 19, 2004  TOKYO (AP) - Japan must face its share of the dangers of rebuilding Iraq, Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi said Monday while asking his nation to back his plans to send troops on an aid mission. After Koizumi spoke, an advance team of Japanese soldiers crossed into southern Iraq, beginning this country's most dangerous overseas military operation since World War II. The Japanese advance group, escorted by Dutch forces, moved overland from the U.S. military base Camp Virginia in the Kuwaiti...

Israel's hip-hop king, Subliminal, says people have told him straight to his face, "Man, you're a fascist." In spite of - or perhaps because of - such controversy, the 24-year-old rapper's mix of hip-hop attitude and right-wing politics has become an anthem for young Israelis hungry for a secular Jewish identity and confused by three years of conflict with the Palestinians. Kobi Shimoni and partner Yoav Eliasi - a.k.a. "Subliminal" and "the Shadow" - seldom name their enemy, but songs like "We Came to Expel the Darkness" and "My Land" are clearly directed at the Palestinians. The rapper says he's...

We knew there was a dinner planned with ambassador Bremer and LTG Sanchez. There were 600 seats available and all the units in the division were tasked with filling a few tables. Naturally, the 501st MI battalion got our table. Soldiers were grumbling about having to sit through another dog-and-pony show, so we had to pick soldiers to attend. I chose not to go. > But, about 1500 the G2, LTC Devan, came up to me and with a smile, asked me to come to dinner with him, to meet him in his office at 1600 and bring a camera....
