I would like to know why we have to read of Hasan's confession in a British newspaper to hear of Hasan's confession? This is nothing but a HUGE coverup, perpetrated by Obama and his media lemmings. "Don't jump to any conclusions," right FAUXbama!?!? You lying TREASONIST turd! We are now AT WAR on American soil, FReepers!! Taken from UK Telegraph article: Fort Hood gunman had told US military colleagues that infidels should have their throats cut One of Hasan's neighbours described how on the day of the massacre, about 9am, he gave her a Koran and told her: "I'm going...

MIDDLEVILLE (WZZM)- A West Michigan woman says the state is threatening her with fines and possibly jail time for babysitting her neighbors' children. Lisa Snyder of Middleville says her neighborhood school bus stop is right in front of her home. It arrives after her neighbors need to be at work, so she watches three of their children for 15-40 minutes until the bus comes. The Department of Human Services received a complaint that Snyder was operating an illegal child care home. DHS contacted Snyder and told her to get licensed, stop watching her neighbors' kids, or face the consequences. "That...

PHOENIXVILLE, Pa. — Police in suburban Philadelphia say a man weary of children playing in his cul-de-sac blared a pornographic soundtrack to chase them off. Michael Buck faces a felony obscenity charge and two misdemeanors for the alleged May 31 stunt at his upscale Phoenixville home. Irate neighbors told police they could hear the sexually explicit audio a block-and-a-half away.

<p>They seemed such a normal couple - until they built a pagan stone circle in the garden...</p> <p>You'd think milkmen would be used to pre-dawn doorstep encounters with all manner of 'unconventional' folk, wouldn't you? Well, not in leafy Dorchester.</p>

The Castorena Family Organization is a large-scale criminal organization with more than 100 key members who oversee cells of 10 to 20 individuals in cities across the United States, according to public court documents filed by the US government in Colorado and in other judicial districts around the country. Several of the senior leaders of the organization are believed to be based in Mexico, although they enter the US occasionally to oversee the operations of lieutenants of the crime family. The organization is alleged to be involved in the manufacture and distribution of high-quality counterfeit identity documents, including social security...

Hate preacher Abu Qatada has moved into an £800,000 home funded by the taxpayer following his release from jail. New neighbours of the cleric once described as Osama bin Laden’s right-hand in Europe said: “He could not be less welcome.” One resident, who served in the Navy during the Gulf War, said: “The fact that he is in my country, let alone around my neighbourhood, makes me mad. We are losing men in Afghanistan and now this man is allowed to live here.” Qatada arrived at the house in London on Tuesday after a court granted him bail. He is...

A Milwaukee County Circuit Court jury got a disturbing view Wednesday into the secret world of murder defendant Rene Stermole, a malevolent world of plotting terrorists, hidden assassins and nefarious gangs. Stermole, 58, wept, yelled, whispered and laughed during his daylong testimony. Despite efforts by his attorney, the prosecutor and the judge, that testimony ranged near and far as he tried to explain why, on June 13, 2007, he shot his neighbor, Mark Wright, six times as Wright prepared to grill dinner for his wife and 7-year-old daughter. “I have been framed for murder,” Stermole yelled to the jury more...

15 Reasons Mister Rogers Was the Best Neighbor Ever Back when I was in 7th grade I stood up in front of my English class and delivered a tongue-in-cheek, poorly researched presentation on why I thought Mister Rogers should be the next President. I ate up the first few minutes zipping up my cardigan, and putting on some sneakers, and then I proceeded to mock him roundly. It was a riotous success. Fourteen years later, I’m using this post to repent. The following are 15 things everyone should know about Fred Rogers: 1. Even Koko the Gorilla loved him...

Stone Age cave in central Vietnam has neighbor Vietnamese researchers, studying a grotto discovered a decade ago in which Paleolithic period tools were found, a few days ago stumbled upon another nearby also containing ancient tools. Experts from the Vietnam Archaeology Institute and the Quang Tri Museum in central Vietnam were researching the Hang Doi (bat) cave in Cam Lo district’s Dragon mountain when they found “Hang Doi 2”. The grotto is 65 meters underground and its vault is 10-20 meter high. They found 11 stone tools inside. Hang Doi was acknowledged as a provincial relic in 1996 and recently...

MELVIN, Ky. -- Barry Collins' neighbors don't say 'here Kitty Kitty' when they see his pet cat prowling around. Maybe that's because his Kitty is a 400-plus-pound adult lion who roams a 300-square-foot cage in the family's back yard in Melvin. While Collins said Kitty is just a family pet, some Floyd County, Ky., residents disagree. Collins' neighbors in Kentucky don't like the idea of a backyard lion. County officials may try to force the Collins family to find a new home for Kitty soon. A county ordinance that would bar animals deemed "inherently dangerous" by the state is up...

TORONTO: Like many Canadians, Ghazanfar Khan feels his country is far too much under US influence. The 24-year-old man of Pakistani origin, standing for next week's general election, wants to do something to change things. A debut candidate in the January 23 ballot, Khan has a definite agenda for Canada and feels that his country should carve out its own identity that is separate from its superpower neighbour to the south. Instead of jumping on the bandwagon of major parties like the Liberals or the Conservatives, Khan is with the Canadian Action Party, a little-known entity but one he believes...

The state government continues to spend beyond its means, with Republicans calling for cuts in government, or at least cuts in its rate of growth, and Democrats pushing for tax and fee increases to make up the difference. But apparently there is one area of agreement between members of both parties: They would like to cut down on so-called tax cheats who are estimated to cost the state $6.5 billion a year. A particularly dismaying plan now being pushed by Controller Steve Westly would encourage Californians to snitch on people who might not be paying their proper amount of taxes....

Anti-Semitism may seem to be a static, unchanging phenomenon but in fact the obsessive hatred of Jews has a history that goes back millennia and continues to evolve.Developments since World War II and the Holocaust have been especially fast-paced and portentous. Here are four of the most significant shifts: From right to left: For centuries, anti-Semitism was the hallmark of the right and merely episodic on the left. To take the ultimate examples of these trends, Stalin's Judeophobia was peripheral to his monstrous project, but Hitler's was central to his. Even a decade ago, this pattern still basically held true....

BATH, Pa. (AP) - A 70-year-old woman was charged with criminal homicide Tuesday, accused of bludgeoning her 84-year-old neighbor to death with a hammer. Police declined to say if they had ascertained a motive. Killed was Marguerite "Tutti" Eyer; her alleged assailant, Kathy MacClellan, was being held without bail in the Northampton County Prison. Eyer's personal medical alert device was activated Monday evening, sending police to her home. They asked the gravely wounded Eyer who had struck her. She replied: "Kathy Mc ... she did it with a hammer," according to court records. Eyer died at a hospital. It was...

The man nicknamed “Mister DWI” is in trouble again. 63–year–old Jerry Zeller was arrested Saturday by police for failure to appear in court for an October drunk driving charge. This is Zeller's 34th DWI arrest. Prosecutors have not been able to charge Zeller as an habitual offender in the past, since a former state law would restart the DWI conviction count after five years. Zeller's last DWI conviction was in June of 1997, therefore Zeller only faces a misdemeanor for his recent arrest with a maximum sentence of one year in jail. The state law was changed in July of...

When is it “OK” for an innocent bystander to be brutalized at the whim of a common thug? Amid the collection of worldviews we endeavor to rationalize in our pluralistic cultural, brutalizing ones neighbor and stranger alike is still repugnant to most. Who among us, whether atheist, Christian, or secular humanist will praise and commend the actions of a judge who in the name of love and understanding does not penalize the lawbreaking thief, rapist, and murderer. Why is it so difficult for the average person to apply this simple example of reality to God? If the Creator God...

The Outback, a subdivision in rural Pickens County that advertises "Mountain Living at Its Best," has turned into a neighborhood at its worst. Former friends and acquaintances have fallen out bitterly over the neighborhood covenants, the rules governing what residents can or cannot build on their multi-acre, forested lots. The building in question is a garage. But it's not just any garage, housing the family sport utility vehicle and a sedan. It's an industrial-looking metal building that any monster truck would be proud to call home. It covers 5,000 square feet and sports roll-up doors 12 feet tall. "I'm like...

When you live in a gated community, you take a few things for granted as part of the fees you pay to your HOA. In casual neighborhood disputes (unless, of course, you live in one of the warring Summerlin communities), you can expect that you'll have an open forum on the second Tuesday of every month to discuss how Mr. Jones has kept his Christmas lights up a week too long, how Mrs. Luvalle continues to put her garbage out two days early, thus giving the neighborhood cats and rats the opportunity to fill the streets with her half-filled bottles...

THE GREATEST OF THESE IS LOVE "Love Your Neighbor as You Love Yourself" (Part One) (Matthew 22:34-40)     But when the Pharisees heard that He had put the Sadducees to silence, they gathered themselves together. And one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?"     And He said to him, "‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it, ‘You shall love your...

"At about eleven this morning, he went home to Heaven."My next door neighbor, Walt Rule, passed away this morning.  My father and I just returned from paying a visit to his widow and his son.  That opening line is how she told us he had passed.Walt had been on oxygen for as long as I had known him.  He was a frail man, but the frailness that you saw on the outside belied what was inside.  He was a veteran of World War II, captured at Bastogne, and a survivor of a German POW/slave labor camp.  This frail man...

New Bush neighbor picks place for peace Crawford residents say he chose wrong town for anti-war effort 03/10/2003 By GROMER JEFFERS JR. / The Dallas Morning News CRAWFORD, Texas - The anti-war effort has traveled to President Bush's doorstep. A Dallas-area man recently purchased a home in Crawford, which he plans to transform into a haven for peace pursuits and a convenient location from which to launch protests against a war with Iraq. "It has a lot to do with Bush being near," said John Wolf, the activist who purchased the home. "But the area really needs an interfaith...

I was watching Fox and Friends this morning, and they said that Michael Jackson is moving next door to Rush Limbaugh! Can anybody confirm this?

Did anyone else laugh as hard as I did about Greta VanSustern's interview of one of Mohammed's Tacoma neighbors? The guy was the quintessentail straight man. He knew NOTHING. He had once seen Mohammed. Mohammed seemed normal to him. He had never observed anything out of order. He didn't actually live next door -- more like a block away. He had heard gunshots once -- didn't know if they came from Mohammed's place. It was hysterical -- the tape will become a TV News classic. The look on her face as she tried to find some angle with this guy...
