President Obama was in North Carolina the other day. he was dropping his "g's" and throwing around Southern slang like he was a slinging hash browns down at the Waffle House. He started off by talking about how much he "loves me some North Carolina." Well, bless his pea-picking heart. The president tossed out the word "holler" and then said it was time to get down to "bidness." Not business, but "bidness." The White House seems to think all of us Southerners walk around talking like Boss Hogg from the Dukes of Hazzard.

Why Trump? 1. Illegal immigration is the only issue; if it's not stopped soon, America will become like California -- a demographic one-party state. 2. Politics is about name-recognition and none of the other candidates besides Trump has the name recognition to challenge Jeb Bush or Hillary Clinton. Therefore, Trump is the only candidate with a chance to win who has promised to do the only thing that matters.

PASADENA >> Plans to build a Chick-fil-A restaurant across from Pasadena City College were put on hold this week after a divided council approved a request by Councilman Terry Tornek to revisit the restaurant chain’s request for building permits. The project, which calls for an expansion of the existing drive-thru as well as removal of two protected trees, among other changes at the former Burger King site, was approved by a hearing officer in December and granted a conditional use permit by the Board of Zoning Appeals by a 3-2 vote in March. However, Tornek requested the project be revisited...

A St. Louis scientist who was among a select group picked by the Obama administration to pursue a solution to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has been removed from the group because of writings on his website, the U.S. Energy Department confirmed Wednesday. Washington University physics professor Jonathan Katz was one of five top scientists chosen by the Department of Energy and attended meetings in Houston last week. Though considered a leading scientist, Katz's website postings often touch on social issues. Some of those writings have stirred anger in the past and include postings defending homophobia and...

You're unlikely to find CDs by groups like Skrewdriver and Brutal Attack sold alongside the latest hits from Rihanna and the Jonas Brothers at your local retailer. But the white-power punk bands' ballads are just a click away online.

Q: As a Lebanese-Christian immigrant who spent her girlhood amid the bloody devastation of the Lebanese civil war, you have lately emerged as one of the most vehement critics of radical Islam in this country. Are you concerned that your new book, “They Must Be Stopped,” will feed animosity toward Muslims? A: I do not think I am feeding animosity. I am bringing an issue to light. I disapprove of any religion that calls for the killing of other people. If Christianity called for that, I would condemn it. Q: What about all the moderate Muslims who represent our hope...

You would think that by now Allah’s message might be getting through. Time after time Muslim fanatics attempt to wreak devastation in Britain - and succeed only in blowing themselves up, or setting themselves on fire, or their explosives refuse to do the decent thing and explode - while we infidel cockroaches look on in bemusement, quite unharmed. If you were a devout believer, you might put two and two together and begin to suspect that Allah doesn’t entirely approve of blowing British people to bits. He would much rather his jihadis stayed at home and watched the Eurovision Song...

Minutemen Vs. The Race - La Raza "A national Hispanic civil rights organization said Saturday it will not hold its 2009 annual convention in Kansas City because an opponent of illegal immigration was appointed to the city's park board.

A group of us thought it would be nice to have a thread where we could all be on Christmas Eve, to share our homes and thanksgiving. What better place to be and enjoy the season than right here, with the friends we have fought along side for the last year to make our country a better place. We have a LOT to be thankful for this year.

Teen forced to pay cop for "fat" jibe LONDON (Reuters) - Judges have ordered a teenager to pay 100 pounds to a policeman for "mental anguish" after calling him "fat", the Daily Telegraph newspaper has reported. The paper said policeman Jack Montague was on foot patrol with a colleague in Ulverston, Cumbria, when a drunken 17-year-old insulted him. Magistrates found the youth guilty of abusive behaviour. "Coppers have feelings too, and I'm glad that the magistrates have taken the unusual step of recognising that," the paper's Tuesday edition quoted the police officer as saying.
