Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s six-month long investigation into the authenticity of President Obama’s birth certificate recently concluded with a finding of “probable cause” to believe this document is a forgery. Arpaio said that “forensics experts were able to determine that the birth certificate released by the White House was a computer-generated collage, not a genuine copy of an actual document. The President may or may not have been born in Hawaii. The documents he has provided to-date do not serve as proof that he is eligible for the office he now holds.” While declining to address any of Arpaio’s...

Israel’s New and Improved Ancient War Cry By Norma Zager “And the Walls Came a Tumbling Down…” from the story of Joshua and the Battle of Jericho. In Ari’s last Postcard he discussed the new war facing Israel, coming battles that will require new methods, new strategies and new weapons for Israel’s survival. This is all true were it not for one small caveat: Israel must return to its ancient battle strategy to defeat its enemies, or it will be lost forever. I suppose at first glance this premise sounds a bit insane. Nuclear weapons will be aimed at Israeli...

Gov. Pat Quinn today signed a bill into law preventing state officials from putting their name or likeness on taxpayer funded signs. The measure was a response to Gov. Rod Blagojevich's decision years ago to plaster his name on nearly three dozen signs on the Illinois Tollway at what Quinn said was a cost of almost $500,000. "Sometimes there are those in politics and public office who want to glorify themselves at public expense, and I don't think that's right, I don't think the public feels that's what Democracy is about," Quinn said during bill signing ceremony at the Cermak...

.. inadequacies and deficiencies of the existing international monetary and financial system.. In 1998 Russian Foreign Minister Yevgeny Primakov, a strategist and master spy, conceived of an economic alliance between Russia, India and China. The purpose of this combination was to counter the international influence of the United States. By now it should be apparent that Russia and China intend to launch an attack against the U.S. dollar. Do we yet realize that such an attack is possible? And have we reckoned the political consequences?

A New Year approaches. Along with it comes a brand new Congress. There are many things Congress needs to do next year. However, I believe there are five that are of the utmost importance; things that the new Congress should make New Years Resolutions.

Goldman, the Movie. By Goldman By SUSANNE CRAIG Get ready for "Goldman Sachs: The Movie." That isn't a real movie title. But filmmaker Ric Burns, who created the PBS series "The Civil War" with his brother Ken, is shooting a documentary about the Wall Street firm. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. is paying for the film, has editorial control and is overseeing the project through its marketing department, a Goldman spokesman said. Mr. Burns, who didn't return phone calls seeking comment, was approached by Goldman in 2007 and has been tackling the documentary on and off since then. The company's history...

Iranian groupie 'risks life' for book on bedding famous rockers A self-proclaimed "slut" from Iran may become the target of Muslim extremists after she penned a book about having sex with the world's most famous rockers. Roxana Shirazi, who lived in Tehran until she was 10, claims to have had sexual encounters with members of Guns N' Roses, Motley Crue, Velvet Revolver, Papa Roach and Skid Row. Several editors and agents reportedly refused to work with her on the book, titled The Last Living Slut: Born in Iran, Bred Backstage, for fear of enraging the Muslim community. "I haven't attacked...

Following months of heated public debate and aggressive closed-door negotiations, Congress finally cast a historic vote on healthcare late Sunday evening. It was truly a sad weekend on the House floor as we witnessed further dismantling of the Constitution, disregard of the will of the people, explosive expansion of the reach of government, unprecedented corporate favoritism, and the impending end of quality healthcare as we know it. Those in favor of this bill touted their good intentions of ensuring quality healthcare for all Americans, as if those of us against the bill are against good medical care. They cite fanciful...

Tired of waiting for my Party to create a new Contract with America for today's issues, I finally wrote it myself -- just as Newt Gingrich did when he first ran for Congress. I am a solid Constitutional Conservative Republican running for Congress in Nevada CD1. After speaking out all year and helping to drive hundreds of conservatives to the Clark County Republican Party, I finally announced my own candidacy for the toughest race in the state. With strong Grass Roots support and involvement with the TEA Party movement from the very beginning, I realized I could use my position...

Fair disclosure: I have just recently been banned from Gopachy.com . . . first time ever I've been banned from any discussion group . . . likely for just cause. I have no problem with the decision of Gopachy moderators . . . all things considered. IMHO, I was banned not because I was too conservative, which I was definitely not, but because I was too rude, and so very aggressive and violated the forum rules. Being banned was not a surprise. As one of my favorite teen year authors wrote: "And so it goes." -- Kurt Vonnegut. But ....

Jesse Ventura may or may not have a "judge" show in his future, but one thing's for sure: He's definitely going to be searching for justice. The former governor will host a new program for TruTV (formerly Court TV) in which he'll travel the country, exploring modern-day conspiracies and getting input from believers and skeptics.

Smith & Co., which is also responsible for...

What is the world coming to when Vodka is turning against you? The Los Angeles Times had a startling report about a new Absolut Vodka Ad. The LA times wrote that "the billboard and press campaign, created by advertising agency Teran\TBWA and now running in Mexico, is a colorful map depicting what the Americas might look like in an 'Absolut' -- i.e., perfect -- world. The U.S.-Mexico border lies where it was before the Mexican-American war of 1848 when California, as we now know it, was Mexican territory and known as Alta California." (To see the ad for yourself visit...

Facts Please, Just the Facts : Politicians should use taxpayer funds to inform, not self-promote by Clint Bolick, In a state with subsidized elections and draconian limits on campaign contributions, every advantage counts. One in particular is a whopper: self-promotion by elected officials at taxpayer expense. The abuse is ubiquitous and transcends party lines. Publications and public-service announcements that happen to prominently bear the name and likeness of an elected official are all too frequent. The officials defend the need for the publications, which misses the point. However legitimate a particular publication, the photo and name are wholly gratuitous, providing...

NEW YORK CITY - She may only need to go by one name, but Madonna is a woman who comes with superlatives attached: “superstar,” “icon,” “the most successful female recording artist of all time.” She’s a provocateur who’s held our attention over the course of three different decades. But perhaps for the first time in a career of courting controversy, she appears to have been taken off guard by one she didn’t orchestrate and just didn’t see coming.

The EU has suggested to the US, Russia, and the UN that a joint fund be created to give aid to the Palestinians that will bypass the Hamas-led government and go directly to Gaza gunmen. "Direct aid will bypass the Hamas bureaucracy that is sure to siphon-off funds," said Ignace Boffin, Minister of Finance for the European Union. "This way, those who desperately need to buy bullets and bombs can be assured of funding with a minimum of delay." The EU prepared a $43 million aid package that is ready to go as soon as the U.S., Russia, and UN...

Hey everyone I launched a blog about half a month ago, it's conservative and called Common Sense JournalAnyway I posted a blog a few days ago about how V for Vendetta stars basically defends Islamic terrorists and call them "freedom fighters," comparing them to the founding fathers and Nelson Mandela. It's at http://www.commonsensejournal.com/2006/04/26/v-for-vendetta-imaginary-dictatorships-and-fake-bravery-victimhood/I also included a video that juxtaposes their comments like "why do they do what they do?" with footage of actual terror attacks on innocent civilians.
