Since this is Respect Life Sunday, and the beginning of Respect Life month, I wanted to talk about one woman who did respect life – and her choice has made a difference in the life of virtually every person in this church. Her name is Joanne Schiebel. In 1954, she was a young unmarried college student who discovered that she was pregnant. In the 1950s, her options were limited. She could have had an abortion – but the procedure was both dangerous and illegal. She could have gotten married, but she wasn’t ready and didn’t want to interrupt her education....

Steve Jobs announced his resignation today as CEO of Apple, Inc. From that one little tidbit of information, we can foresee a long, slow roll-out of "news" content. Tonight and tomorrow we'll see the newsy stuff -- Jobs' biography, his history with Apple, his successor, the product pipeline and the financial portents of the whole interconnected circus. Tomorrow and later we'll have reaction pieces, starting with phony tributes and leading to phony trashings. The real ugliness will await the magazines -- paper, video and virtual: Steve Jobs was a brutal boss. Steve Jobs was a techno-pirate. Steve Jobs was unfair...

Steve Wynn has been getting a lot of air play throughout the news media and Internet for his famous rant on Barack Obama but guess what Steve – it’s partly YOUR fault. YOU said you voted for him and you supported Harry Reed. Why in the hell did you... (continued)

RUSH: Steve Wynn was on the Fox Business Channel, the Cavuto show last night. Wynn was on the phone from Vegas. This is what he had to say about his employees and his business. WYNN: The living standard of my employees has been plummeting. The early results of Obamacare have caused our insurance to increase, our cost of medical, we self-insure, to go from 8% increase a year to 12, and for the first time since we built the business we had to increase the amount of copay of our employees, so some money has been taken out of their...

Note to the Republican leadership – if you continue to shield Barack Hussein Obama, knowing that he is ineligible for the Presidency and has possibly committed fraud and felony conspiracy, then, you are welcome to him for a second term. I will not stand with you. In my opinion, many Republicans have violated their oaths of office to support and defend the Constitution. Because of their cowardice or complicity in hiding the truth from the American people, there was a major failure to uphold the law. For that reason, they have forfeited their privilege to represent me. Compared to Obama,...

An intrepid citizen-researcher has confirmed that the man who goes by the name “Barack Hussein Obama II,” has an original vital record kept by the Hawaii Department of Health, which bears the name “Steve Dunham.” The citizen researcher began her quest, following two lines of research: 1) the fact that the name “Steve Dunham” appears in records associated with Obama’s alleged mother, Stanley Ann Dunham; and 2) the fact that Obama himself is said to have quipped that his middle name was “Steve” (as some of his followers know cf. YYouhan’s comment). The Quip The quip is recorded to have...

Steve Emerson of the Investigative Project on Terrorism joined me on the radio today and shared some shocking information about several people involved in the Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Human Rights hearing set for Tuesday in the US Senate. The first, a witness for the hearing, Farhana Khera of Muslim Advocates who alleged that the FBI was trying to entrap the Imam who helped Nazibullah Zazi evade FBI surveillance– and concluded that Muslims should not help the FBI. Emerson documents other shocking instances of U.S. government political cover for America’s enemies–

"...Isn't Steve Jobs a "believer"? With his billions you would think he could get close enough to touch Obama's cloak and be healed. Kidding aside, from my own brief experience with Mr. Jobs about 15 years ago (while he was at Pixar), I found him to be a very kind and helpful individual. I wish him the best." - Scott Ryan

City Journal's Steve Malanga offers the most detailed and succinct history yet on how public sector unions grew from being toothless employee associations to having a virtually lock on all of the key power levers in California and how they've used that power to enrich themselves while all but ruining a once-goldern state. As Malanga explains, what has already happened in California is well underway across the rest of the nation and in Washington, D.C.: "The story starts half a century ago, when California public workers won bargaining rights and quickly learned how to elect their own bosses—that is,

Return to the Article February 07, 2010Another Look at Obama's OriginsBy Jack Cashill The murky circumstances of Obama's birth invite attempts to make the known facts fit together. This article was prompted by two emails.  The first asked me why I had never weighed in on the birth certificate controversy surrounding President Barack Obama.  I responded that although I was troubled by the lack of documentation regarding all phases of Obama's history -- I'd be content with his SAT scores -- I could not understand why any pregnant American woman would go anywhere near Kenya. The second email was...

LAWRENCE, Mass. – With polls shifting back and forth between Massachusetts Senate candidates Scott Brown (Republican) and Martha Coakley (Democrat), the national media began descending on the Bay State over the weekend in anticipation of Tuesday’s critical election. And it’s a major election. One important enough to draw President Barack Obama to Boston on Sunday afternoon. The seat was held by Sen. Ted Kennedy for over four decades until his recent death. Now the balance of power could shift to the Republicans, with some polls Sunday showing Brown up by as much as 10 points. But others show Coakley up...

HAWAII DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH ACTIVELY COVERING FOR OBAMA’S CHANGED VITAL RECORD by Nellie Esquire (Jan. 10, 2010) — People are asking how so many terrorist red flags could be overlooked by so many. The answer is, that they have been overlooked the same way these “birther” red flags were not only overlooked, but ridiculed. Some examples of these “Birther” red flags can be culled from the public behavior of the Hawaii Department of Health and the Hawaii Office for Information Practices, in response to public inquiry regarding Obama’s vital records, which are an essential documentary issue in establishing his citizenship...

It looks like no one was born with the name Barack Hussein Obama II. The name “Steve Dunham” was the name of the child on the birth certificate in the Mombasa General Coast Hospital. Being that Ann was in Mombassa without her husband, and being that Obama Sr., would have committed the crime of bigamy in Kenya, if he married a white woman as his second wife — since his first marriage was under tribal law for non-Christians, he could not marry multiple times except under tribal law, which excluded wives of European descent — Ann would have had to...

<p>As can be seen from Obama’s own mouth, at about 5:55 into the above video, he clearly says that his name is Steve.</p> <p>Based on this admission, the citizen-researcher requested from Janice Okubo, Communications Director for the Hawaii Department of Health, the index data for all the Steve Dunhams in their registry for an individual born August 4, 1961. The request was made on Oct. 29, 2009. The answer came on November 10.</p>

Steve Fossett's unfinished legacy: Deepest ocean exploration And were it not for what seems certain to be his untimely and tragic death in a small airplane crash high in the Sierra Nevada mountains, Fossett was poised to set a new record, one that could have far surpassed his many others in scope and shock value. The record? To become the first human being to dive solo to the bottom of the Mariana Trench, 36,000 feet below the ocean surface near Guam.

Albuquerque - Today, People for Pearce Campaign Manager John Billingsley pointed out that Tom Udall has now spent more than $1.3 million on misleading television ads only to see his 28-point lead evaporate in just over a month. "The verdict is in: Tom Udall and his friends on the extreme left are spending millions to mislead New Mexican voters about Steve Pearce and it hasn't worked," said Billingsley. "To the contrary, New Mexicans are rejecting Udall's anti-drilling, anti-nuclear, pro-tax increase policies in favor of Steve Pearce's honesty, integrity and straight forward New Mexico values." This week, a Rasmussen poll showed...

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.—Senate candidates Democrat Tom Udall and Republican Steve Pearce will face each other on NBC's "Meet the Press" on Oct. 12. Udall spokeswoman Marissa Padilla says the joint appearance has been confirmed, but the format is still being discussed. Padilla says she thinks the New Mexico candidates will appear for 30 minutes. Udall and Pearce also will debate on Oct. 15 on KOB-TV, Oct. 18 on KRQE and Oct. 26 on KOAT. The AARP will co-sponsor the second debate and the Albuquerque Journal will co-sponsor the final debate.

August 22, 2008 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact Rod Antone (505) 414-7701 A new poll released today shows Congressman Pearce, candidate for U.S. Senate, is now within striking range of his opponent Tom Udall. The Rasmussen survey, which had Pearce down by 28 points in late July, shows he has closed the gap to 8 points in less than a month. "It proves what we're seeing and hearing all over the state. People are rejecting the failed policies of the past" said Pearce "Particularly on energy, they are tired of watching Tom Udall and the far-left anti-drilling, anti-nuclear extremists deny access...

Republican Steve Pearce has cut his opponent’s lead by more than half, but Democrat Tom Udall still leads 51% to 41% in the U.S. Senate race in New Mexico, according to the latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of voters in the state. With “leaners” factored in, Udall’s lead drops to 52% to 44%, the first time in five months of polling that the gap has been out of double digits. Last month, Udall had a 59% to 34% lead over Pearce.

Deming - Today, Congressman Steve Pearce discussed the extreme environmentalists and the use of lawsuits to prevent America from increasing our domestic supply of energy on KDEM-KOTS Radio in Deming. "Tom Udall sides with the small group of extremists who are locking up our public land and putting it off limits with endless lawsuits," said Pearce. "They are the ones who say we can't drill for more oil, we can't cut the dead trees out of our forests, and we can't use the land for grazing." Tom Udall, a former lawyer, has taken more than $700,000 from lawyers and law...

Steve Forbes begins speaking on the economy around the 18 minute mark, and continues until just past the 43 minute mark. (He is done chatting with the audience around the 20 minute mark, if you want to skip those remarks.)

According to a report in the Memphis Commercial Appeal, [Nikki] Tinker “declined to answer” questions about the flier, which was condemned by the Anti-Defamation League. The flier reportedly states that “Memphis Congressman Steve Cohen and the JEWS HATE Jesus. So Memphis Christians must united and support ONE Black Christian to represent Memphis in the United States Congress in 2008.” [Memphis Commercial Appeal, 2/13/08 and 2/11/08]

As the Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin made a name for himself around the world. But at the end of the day, he was just an "ordinary bloke." In the first public remarks from Irwin's family since his death on Monday, his father, Bob Irwin, said the family would probably decline the Australian government's offer of a state funeral for his son, because Irwin would not have wanted the fuss of such a formal proceeding. "The state funeral would be refused, because he's an ordinary guy, he's just an ordinary bloke," the elder Irwin said at a press conference at Australia...

OK, here's a thread where all the Steve Irwin bashers can post away to their hearts content. Please leave the threads titled "In Memory..." or "Tribute to..." alone. Not every single thread about Steve Irwin on FR has to include the incident of him holding his son in the croc enclosure, a mention of Darwin, and/or the word "Fool" Sometimes the old saying is true "If you can't say something nice about someone, don't say anything at all."

Steve Irwin 1962–2006 Steve Irwin and Bindi in 'Daddy's Girls' Sept 2006 When marie claire approached Steve Irwin to appear in this month’s Daddy’s Girls feature – a tribute to famous fathers and their daughters – we were told he would be only to happy because he would “walk over hot coals for Bindi”. Such was the closeness of their bond that Steve said of his eight-year-old daughter, “We hang out together, we play together, we work together. The sun rises and sets with my daughter Bindi, it really does.” Bindi, meanwhile, told us she would most likely make her...

The most bizarre element of the two weeks of captivity suffered by Fox News reporter Steve Centanni and photographer Olaf Wiig at the hands of Gaza’s Holy Jihad Brigade was the video that surfaced depicting their conversion to Islam. Even before the journalists revealed that their conversions had been coerced, there were disturbing indications that they were not acting freely. While reading a statement he himself had ostensibly written, Centanni stumbled over words, appeared to puzzle over the handwriting, and seemed to grimace after pronouncing the words “peace be upon him” after the name of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Their...

On the face of it, conversion to Islam would appear to provide a painless escape device for any hostage who happens to fall into fundamentalist terrorist hands. After all, once free, the hostage can always revert to his real faith or non-faith. It is hard to blame the two Fox News journalists, the American Steve Centanni, 60, and the New Zealander, Olaf Wiig, 36, for taking that path on to buy their way out of an uncertain fate at the hands of Palestinian terrorists – especially as they later reported they were forced to make the gesture at gunpoint. And,...

Palestinian officials said today they expected to have “good news” about the two Fox News journalists kidnapped in Gaza City within two days and believe they are unharmed. The journalists, American correspondent Steve Centanni, 60, of Washington, DC, and New Zealand cameraman Olaf Wiig, 36, who has family in West Sussex, were seized in Gaza City on August 14. Their captors demanded the release of all Muslims imprisoned by the US by midnight today, in exchange for freeing the pair. The kidnappers, a previously unknown group calling itself the Holy Jihad Brigades, did not say what it would do to...

The momentum was certainly in Rep. Steve King's (R.-Iowa) favor, but standing in the way of his amendment ending the federal mandate for foreign-language ballots were 44 Republicans, including the HUMAN EVENTS "Man of the Year" for 2005, Rep. Mike Pence. Earlier in the week it appeared as though King might not even get a vote on his amendment to the Voting Rights Act, but after pressure from Republican colleagues, conservative bloggers and the editors of HUMAN EVENTS, the House Rules Committee relented and OK'd a floor vote today. Unfortunately, it failed, 185-238, this afternoon. It was one of several...

Reacting to the impending deal, Catholic League President Bill Donohue released a statement, "After I lashed out against Opie and Anthony for providing an on-air account of a sexual stunt in St. Patrick’s Cathedral in 2002, they were fired by Infinity Broadcasting, the CBS Radio outlet. Once they were dumped, I withdrew the complaint that I had filed with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and asked the FCC to drop its investigation. On August 5, 2004, I issued a news release about the decision of XM Satellite Radio to pick up the duo beginning October 4. At that time I...

U.S.-born actress warned 'she will be sorry' unless she pulls out of film Sienna Miller Sienna Miller reportedly feared for her life after getting a flood of death threats from Islamic extremists. The American-born, British-bred actress best-known for starring in the remake of "Alfie" as well as her engagement to actor Jude Law, is said to have received a torrent of vicious threats from Muslims furious she's starring in "Interview," a remake of director Theo van Gogh's 2003 thriller. Van Gogh is the Dutch director who was shot and killed in 2004 by an Islamic extremist in connection with his...

Signature phrase of Marshfield candidate upsets Imam Talal EidMARSHFIELD - The slogan appears right below Steve Barber’s name every time he posts a message on the popular Marshfield Forum online discussion board: ‘‘Killem All Let Allah Sort Em Out.’’ Where other forum users punctuate their messages with quotations or song lyrics, Barber uses a contemporary riff on ‘‘Kill ’Em All, Let God Sort ’Em Out,’’ a war cry coined by U.S. special operations forces during the Vietnam War. ‘‘I figure we’re fighting Muslims. ‘Allah’ works,’’ Barber said. Barber, 49, is a retired Army staff sergeant who, for the third time,...

Stetler won't return raise He's opting to give to charity CARL LINDQUIST The York Dispatch State Rep. Steve Stetler hasn't returned the pay raise money he received before the raise was repealed in November. Instead, the Democratic legislator -- who is in his eighth term representing York City -- said he is giving the money to charities and nonprofits. Although Stetler said he's not sure exactly how much of a pay boost he got before the raise was repealed in November, state records show he made about $9,190 extra during the four months lawmakers could get the increase. Stetler said...

King was right In September, we took our congressman, Steve King, to task for voting against a $52 billion aid package for victims of Hurricane Katrina. King - who was just one of 11 members of Congress who voted against the package which passed both houses and was signed by President Bush - based his vote on the need for "fiscal responsibility." He said the federal government needed to develop a comprehensive plan for spending aid dollars, including input from members of Congress, before more money was appropriated. He earlier had voted for a $10.5 billion emergency aid package. Well,...

Sharon Renews the RRH Doctrine by Steven Plaut Oct 02, '05 / 28 Elul 5765 I've long suspected that it is the Israeli grand strategy to defeat the Palestinians by forcing them to laugh themselves to death. That seems to be the only possible way to understand the latest resuscitation of the RRH Doctrine, which has dominated Israeli policy toward the Palestinians and the Arab states since the early 1990s. The RRH Doctrine was invented in the early days of Oslo and stands for Really, Really Hard. Israeli governments would make deals to hand over most of the West Bank...

From the desk of...Congressman Steve King For Sale by Government The Supreme Court just put a "For Sale" sign in front of every American home, farm and business. No offense, but if somebody can find a way to make the property your house sits on more valuable, maybe by selling your land to a developer for a convenience store, the government can take your house. The kicker is that you'll be paid what the court decides is "just compensation," not market value. The recent 5-4 decision by the Court in Kelo v. City of New London expands eminent domain to...

On May 16, a judge in Placer County, Calif., refused to hear a motion by medical marijuana patient Steve Kubby -- who believes he can establish compelling evidence that county authorities committed fraud in 1999 to obtain a search warrant against him. Kubby, the Libertarian Party's candidate for California governor in 1998, has lived in Canada with his wife, Michele, since he was convicted in December 2000 for drug law violations in Placer County. He used -- and still uses -- marijuana to control the symptoms of adrenal cancer, which he fought with surgery and conventional medicine before discovering that...

New York THOUGH IT'S BEEN SOME TIME since official Baldwin Brother Rankings were released, most Baldwinologists agree that of the acting Baldwin brothers, Stephen Baldwin is generally stalled in third place. The fame index has him ahead of black-sheep Baldwin brother, Daniel--he of the naked, crack-fueled Plaza hotel rampage of 1998. But he's still slightly behind Brother Billy, the Dreamboat / Creative-Coalition-helming / Chynna Phillips-marrying Baldwin. And he's way behind Alec, the Baldwin who best exemplifies the A-List and A-hole version of a Baldwin brother. (It was chronically outspoken Alec who once called Al D'Amato "the bozo pool attendant from...
