I’m completely speechless. What? What did he say? Really?

HESPERIA, Calif. (AP) -- People who spent hours searching for a California girl reported missing by her family say they were outraged to learn the 13-year-old's family gave authorities misleading information as she hid to avoid an alleged arranged marriage in Pakistan. The girl's mother reported her daughter missing from her Hesperia home on Feb. 22, and told investigators she worried her daughter had run off with a sexual predator.

With helicopters hovering overhead and bused in crowds jeering in red, it is clear that media cameras and microphones must be near because the Rev. Jesse Jackson has just shown to the Madison protest. Jackson was seen glad handing through the crowd with the requisite TV cameras lapping it all up.

“O Root of Jesse, Come” (Isaiah 11:1-10; Romans 15:4-13; Matthew 1:1-17)Today we continue with the third of the seven O Antiphons of Advent, these prayers addressing the coming Christ. This one begins, “O Root of Jesse.” You see it there on the page facing Hymn 357, as well as in your bulletin. Let us now pray this antiphon together: “O Root of Jesse, standing as an ensign before the peoples, before whom all kings are mute, to whom the nations will do homage: Come quickly to deliver us.” “O Root of Jesse, Come.” The Scripture on which this antiphon is...

LONDON — American civil rights activist Rev. Jesse Jackson is starting a group in the U.K. to oppose what he calls the abuse of police powers to stop and search people. The group, called StopWatch, wants to stop police from disproportionately stopping and searching ethnic minorities.

Blagojevich trial stalls Jackson Jr.'s aspirationsBy SOPHIA TAREEN Updated: 2:24 pm, Thu Aug 5, 2010 Jesse Jackson Jr. once possessed the makings of a political star. Son of a civil rights leader and a Democratic congressman with a strong base of support on Chicago's South Side, he set his sights on becoming the city's mayor, or a senator from Illinois. Those dreams of higher political office have been dimmed - perhaps irrevocably - by Jackson's association with the corruption case of former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich. One damaging detail to emerge is that Jackson may have known about supporters' plans...

Is NBA star LeBron James a victim of racism? The Rev. Jesse Jackson thinks so. When James decided to leave his hometown team to play elsewhere, the owner of his former team accused James, among other things, of "cowardly betrayal." He felt jilted, and his team suddenly lost perhaps half its market value. Maybe before commenting the owner should have taken a cold shower. Jackson, however, sees RACISM: "(The owner's) feelings of betrayal personify a slave master mentality. He sees LeBron as a runaway slave." "Runaway slave"? The owner, Jackson implies, would have reacted differently -- had James been white....

Megyn Kelly highlights: “I assume you read the law unlike some in the administration…...If you take the Arizona law and compare it to the federal law the Arizona law is much tougher on police than the federal law. Under federal law the feds can stop somebody and ask them about immigration without reasonable suspicion. In Arizona they have to have reasonable suspicion. Under Arizona law you can’t even use race at all to determine if there is reasonable suspicion. Under federal law that is OK. Why the outcry? Do you realize the Arizona law is not as strict as federal...

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) -- They've been called Oreos, traitors and Uncle Toms, and are used to having to defend their values. Now black conservatives are really taking heat for their involvement in the mostly white tea party movement - and for having the audacity to oppose the policies of the nation's first black president.

Has anyone noticed that the self-appointed leader of the black community in America, the Reverand [sic] Jesse Jackson, has been completely disenfranchised from political discourse now that Mr. Obama is president? I read earlier the Reverand [sic] Jackson is reduced to doing bingo marches in Alabama.

This is going to be a very interesting show with some amazing insights and sound clips from Jesse in the first hour. In hour number two we will have author David Conn speaking about the Obama Cult of Personality. He is very sharp and will open your eyes concerning Obama , if they are not already opened. Hour number three is the manhood hour with Dr. Robert Brumfield, pastor of the Oakgrove 1st AME church of Detroit. He will be discussing the inner cities moral poverty that is rampant and the solutions to it. Tune in, you will love this...

There are two places you don't want to be if you value your safety. One is laid up in a trailer with Sweet Thang watching "Green Acres" reruns when a tornado strikes. The other is standing between the Rev. Jesse Jackson and a hot microphone when a black celebrity dies. Just think of a famous black person who has died within the past 30 years. Now try to picture Jesse not at the funeral. You can bet your last copy of "Thriller" that when Michael Jackson is laid to rest today, Jesse will be there. The reverend has become a...

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid called Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich in early December to discuss the seat vacated by President-elect Barack Obama, his spokesman said. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid didn't want Rep. Jesse Jackson in the Senate, a point he made clear to Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich in a conversation about filling Barack Obama's vacant Senate seat, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

CHICAGO, Illinois (CNN) -- U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. said Friday that he was fighting to get "my name back" after he was identified as "Senate Candidate 5" in a criminal complaint against Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. says neither he nor any emissaries offered favors in exchange for a Senate appointment. Jackson, the son of famed civil rights leader Jesse Jackson and a six-term Democratic congressman from Chicago, had publicly sought to succeed President-elect Barack Obama in the U.S. Senate. Jackson had talked to Blagojevich, the person with the sole power to make the appointment, on...

PREPARE for a new America: That's the message that the Rev. Jesse Jackson conveyed to participants in the first World Policy Forum, held at this French lakeside resort last week. He promised "fundamental changes" in US foreign policy - saying America must "heal wounds" it has caused to other nations, revive its alliances and apologize for the "arrogance of the Bush administration." ...

Speculation is rife over who would be appointed to fill Barack Obama's U.S. Senate seat should the Illinois Democrat be elected president, observers say. Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, a Democrat, would make the call on who would succeed Obama in the U.S. Senate if the party's likely presidential nominee wins the White House in November. One name mentioned is U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., D-Ill., the Chicago Tribune quotes Congressional Quarterly as saying Saturday. Jackson is the son of the U.S. civil rights leader Jesse Jackson Sr. and represents a district on the South Side of Chicago. He is national...

The following "joke" is meant for circulation. Its real purpose is to demonstrate that Barack Obama lacks character along with the courage to act on the values that most of us take for granted (not empowering and enabling racists and anti-Semites, not condoning insults to our Armed Forces). It brings in Michelle Obama deliberately, noting that she has already done and said things that could undermine his campaign. Jesse Jackson Can't Castrate Barack Obama The fact that most of what Obama SAYS is bull does not make him one.Barack Obama lacked the cojones to reject the endorsement of Louis Farrakhan...

Just now on the Live Desk. Trace Gallagher said O'Reilly will be on the Live Desk to "tell" exactly what was revealed and what wasn't. Sounded to me like they were going to play the rest of the tape.

Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., says that he won’t back down on his “tough love” message to African Americans -– a subject that prompted Jesse Jackson's angry open-mic gaffe this past week. Obama told reporters aboard his plane to San Diego that Americans need to recognize that there is a problem when more than a half of African American children are growing up without a father in the house. “That is a problem and I won’t back up one bit in asserting that that’s a problem that we have to be honest about," he said. Obama’s tough love message to African...
