FRANKFORT, Ky. -- The Senate Transportation Committee will consider a bill on Wednesday that would allow slow-moving vehicles without motors to use reflective tape for safety purposes rather than the slow-moving vehicle signs. The bill by Sen. Ken Winters, a Murray Republican, and other senators, would also provide an alternative lighting system. The committee will meet at 9:30 a.m. On Tuesday, two state representatives, Johnny Bell, a Glasgow Democrat, and Ron Crimm, a Louisville Republican, spoke in favor of a similar measure in the House Transportation Committee. Crimm also has a bill that would allow use of lanterns on the...

The young man, who would be at least the fourth American to become a suicide bomber in Somalia, urges other young people not to "just chill all day" and instead fight nonbelievers around the world.The website Somalimemo.net, often used by the al-Shabab militia, said Somali-American bomber Abdisalan Taqabalahullaah had emigrated to the U.S. when he was 2 years old.

Edwards' mistress files motion in sex tape caseBy The associated Press Published: July 22, 2011 HILLSBOROUGH - Attorneys for John Edwards' former mistress have filed a motion charging contempt of court against a former campaign aide and his wife, saying the couple provided off-limits information to federal prosecutors pursuing criminal charges against Edwards. Citing a hearing in a Greensboro courtroom last week in a separate criminal case involving Edwards, Rielle Hunter's attorneys contend that Andrew and Cheri Young or their legal team have turned over thousands of pages of material from her lawsuit against them. Further, they say Hunter was...

MISSOULA- The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation filed a note it plans to appeal any decision that adversely affects a state's right to manage fully recovered wolf populations. U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy is expected to decide whether Congress acted within Constitutional bounds when it delisted wolves in parts of the West. "We are protecting our right to appeal to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals any decision that results in another setback for conservation and science-based wildlife management," said RMEF President and CEO David Allen. An unfavorable ruling may stop wolf hunts planned for this fall in both Montana...

FULL Title - Former SEIU Official Reveals Secret Plan To Destroy JP Morgan, Crash The Stock Market, And Redistribute Wealth In America A former official of one of the country's most-powerful unions, SEIU, is detailing a secret plan to "destabilize" the country. Specifically, the plan seeks to destroy JP Morgan, nuke the stock market, and weaken Wall Street's grip on power, thus creating the conditions necessary for a redistribution of wealth and a change in government. The former SEIU official, Stephen Lerner, spoke in a closed session at a Pace University forum last weekend.

In conservative James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas’s third major National Public Radio (NPR) sting tape release, Betsy Liley, the taxpayer-funded radio network’s director of institutional giving is heard saying controversial left-wing billionaire George Soros has donated to the organization before last October’s $1.8 million gift. Liley is currently on administrative leave, but her bosses, Ron Schiller, the president of NPR’s nonprofit foundation, and NPR CEO Vivian Schiller (no relation) were both fired. Liley brought up Soros and his nonprofit organization, the Open Society Institute, while discussing what kind of on-air publicity the Muslim Education Action Center (MEAC) Trust would want in...

We asked Andrew Breitbart, the founder of Big Government, why he hasn't posted the full video. "I don't have it," Breitbart told TPMmuckraker in an interview. Breitbart said his source sent him just the edited clips at first, but is in the process of sending the full video. ~ Breitbart said he'll post the full video, if he can get permission from the video production company who filmed it for a local NAACP chapter. He also maintained that he didn't edit the clip and that it was sent to him already edited.

Abby Toll, who bound and taped an 11-pound puppy to the side of a fridge in her boyfriend's Boulder apartment last year, nearly came face to face with her victim Friday during a hearing in which a judge punished the former University of Colorado student with a 30-day jail sentence and three years of probation. A prosecutor in the case asked Boulder County District Judge Maria Berkenkotter if the curious and energetic shiba inu Toll targeted with hair ties and packing tape could make an appearance in court while his tormentor was sentenced. The judge denied the request, saying only...

On May 5th, 2010 The Missouri NAACP hosted a press conference and rally on behalf of Perry Molens and Elston McCowan, demanding the county prosecutor drop assault charges stemming from an attack outside Russ Carnahan’s townhall in South St. Louis County on Health Care last August. Molens and McCowan were arrested after the staged Carnahan event in August after they beat, kicked and stomped on black vendor Kenneth Gladney. The two Russ Carnahan supporters and SEIU members also called Kenneth the n-word as they bashed him into the cement. This press conference in May was intended to drum up political...

In the next tape, Blagojevich is heard floating another idea -- to ask the president-elect to ask Warren Buffett or Bill Gates to throw $15 million into a health-care related charity account that Blago could manage and live off. In exchange, of course, he'd appoint Valerie Jarrett to Obama's Senate seat. Blago had just seen on the news that Obama didn't want Jarrett in the Senate anymore; instead, he was considering her for a cabinet post. But Blago's not convinced, and he floats this new fund-raising idea. Rod: This is one of those things where you're the president-elect of the...

Here is audio of a new tape released that is supposedly of Osama Bin Laden taking credit for the Christmas Day Attempted Terror Attack by Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab on board Northwest Airlines Flight 253: A new audio tape allegedly from al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden claims responsibility for an attempt to blow up a plane en route to Michigan on Christmas Day and warns the United States of more attacks. The tape, which aired on the Arabic-language news Web site Al-Jazeera on Sunday, says "the United States will not dream of enjoying safety until we live it in reality...

Just this year, Dobson gave 2009 Miss USA 1st runner-up Carrie Prejean the same treatment. To her credit, she had spoken out against same-sex marriage during the pageant, yet she seemed to have no moral dilemma when it came to posing for some prurient photographs. Dobson praised her for the former and had little to say about the latter, holding her out as a fine example of Christian womanhood who had been martyred by the media. I was still program director at a Christian station at that time, and we were given a choice between airing the Prejean interview or...

July 26, 2009 Obama Pal Henry Gates Caught on Tape Trashing Clarence Thomas & Slandering Newt Gingrich (Video) Hyscience posted video whitey-hater Henry Louis Gates trashing Clarence Thomas and slandering Newt Gingrich at a public elitist event. Gates co-hosted the talk with Marxist black radical - Princton Professor Cornel West: Of course, the Leftists in the crowd loved his awful rant. No wonder Henry and Barack are such good pals.

API reached an agreement with one Michelle Obama representative to end the tape saga. The reason was the fact that both parties wanted things to come to an end. As we wrote earlier that Kenya and Iran will have closer ties than before, should Obama win the elections, it is now evident that this is happening. The Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga visited Iran sometimes back to discus how Kenya can get Iran’s help to get a reactor to boost Kenya’s electricity needs and while on his trip to that country, he took along Kibaki’s invitation to the Iranian President...

The Michelle Obama Tape Saga comes to an incredible end: Mrs Obama, through a representative enters into an agreement with API Posted by africanpress on February 10, 2009 Many readers thought the story had gone away after President Obama’s inaguration last month. Negotiations has been going on secretly and an agreement has now been reached between API and Mrs Obama’s representative. The agreement is to bring to an end the tape saga. The negotiations has taken long because no party was willing to give in to the way the agreement’s final wording was to be spelled. In the agreement, all...

KOHAT, Pakistan (Reuters) – Pakistani Taliban militants released a video tape Sunday of them beheading a Polish geologist whom they said they killed because Pakistan's government refused to release Taliban prisoners. The Islamist militants said Saturday they had executed the Polish engineer, Piotr Stanczak, who they kidnapped in September, because the government had refused to free 60 captured militants before Friday's deadline. A tape was delivered to the office of a Reuters reporter in the northwestern town of Dera Ismail Khan showing two masked men cutting off Stanczak's head. Before he was killed, Stanczak was seen on the tape appealing...

The folks at Mythbusters can say "I told you so" now that Japanese authorities have found a 51-year old woman slipping in and out of the country by using a piece of tape to defeat fingerprint scanners. The seemingly simple exploit raises questions about expensive border security systems -- and about the usefulness of the biometric data the federal government wants to incorporate into drivers licenses with its controversial Real ID scheme. The unnamed South Korean bar hostess, whose real fingerprints were on file as that of an illegal alien, bypassed her listing in the database with tape supplied by...

I am very disappointed that you want to respect the feelings of obama and would agree to keep secret the material that you have. You certainly will be in good company but while it’s understandable for media in the US to do so because they want to curry favor and guarantee access, there is no reason for you to do this unless you too are trying to climb to the top of the heap with a media empire and obama has promised you help. It is the way he does business so come to think of it that is entirely...

1st post:(keep in mind jaxright is a newbee as stated) I was looking for a video that I ran across recently from the 2004 Keyes/Obama Senate race debates where Keyes stated :"You are not even a Natural born citizen" to which Barack Obama replied: "That's OK, I am not running for president, I am only running for Senate." Has anyone else seen this? I can't seem to find it again. follow blog down to end..response from Keyes

The Michelle Obama Rant Tape was filmed between June 26th - July 1st 2004 in Chicago, IL at the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition Conference at Trinity United Church: specifically the Women's Event...Her rant was fueled by the crowd: they reacted strongly to what she said, so she got more passionate and enraged, and that's when she completely loses it and says things that have made the mouths drop of everyone who's seen this.

In a stunning revelation tonight, the OBN has learned that an audio tape, supposedly of an interview between Michelle Obama and the African Press International organization in Norway is a hoax. In an interview with API's Chief Editor Korir, he explained that this hoax was requested by a member of the Obama campaign to keep his opposition distracted from several, high level meetings Obama was attending with Cuban President Rauel Castro. Chief Editor Korir, however, has made it known that the discussions with the Obama camp, regarding this hoax, where recorded. In these recordings, an Obama spokesperson lays out specifically...

WITH THE presidential campaign clock ticking down, Sen. John McCain has suddenly discovered a new boogeyman to link to Sen. Barack Obama: a sometimes controversial but widely respected Middle East scholar named Rashid Khalidi. In the past couple of days, Mr. McCain and his running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin, have likened Mr. Khalidi, the director of a Middle East institute at Columbia University, to neo-Nazis; called him "a PLO spokesman"; and suggested that the Los Angeles Times is hiding something sinister by refusing to release a videotape of a 2003 dinner in honor of Mr. Khalidi at which Mr. Obama...

As you all know, the Los Angeles Times is holding hostage a tape of Barack Obama at a 2003 Arab American Action Network (AAAN) dinner at which his friends, Rashid Khalidi, William Ayers, and Bernadine Dohrn were in attendance.. It's the story I started when Los Angeles Times plagiarist/"reporter" Peter Wallsten ripped off my January column on Barack Obama's Nation of Islam staffers and friendship with AAAN founder Ali Abunimah.

Bad Thoughts   [John Derbyshire]Now here's a subversive little thought about that Khalidi tape that the Los Angeles Times is guarding like a cargo of plutonium. Item:  The Los Angeles Times is owned by the Tribune Co.Item:  The Tribune Co. is based in Chicago.Item:  "In 2008, Tribune is struggling under a $13 billion debt load, much of it incurred in taking the company private in 2007, and from plummeting advertising income at its newspapers." (Wikipedia. A business friend tells me the current figure is actually $14.7 billion.)Item:  Tribune Chairman and CEO Sam Zell is a major Republican donor. Why would...

The LA Times refuses to release the tape showing Obama being toasted by anti-Israel nutjob Rashid Khalidi. Because in a Presidential race centered on Obama's judgment, that's probably not important. Click here to watch the video

Too bad Obama wasn't wearing a pair of expensive Neiman Marcus pumps at the Khalidi dinner; then the tape would be all over the main stream media right?

Rush should offer to donate to Michael J. Fox's Foundation for Parkinson Research if the L.A. Times provided him an unedited copy of the Obama-Khalidi tape. How could they - or the source who allegedly wants to keep the tape confidential - refuse? If any Freeper knows how to get in touch with Rush to tell him of this idea, please pass it onward!

Does anybody else have sources about what is on that tape that the LA Times might want to try and disprove?

Sarah Palin was just in Toledo, Ohio this morning and talked about the LA Times protecting Obama by refusing to release the tape it’s holding of him enjoying himself while anti-Semitic comments were made at a dinner honoring Palestinian Rashid Khalidi in 2003. It feels to us like the pump is being primed for something to break on this tomorrow. It also seems like FOX anchors know more about what’s on that tape than humanly possible without actually seeing it. We personally believe tomorrow morning that tape will indeed be released, to steal the thunder of whatever Obama’s doing tonight...

$25,000 Reward For Obama/Ayer/Dohrn/Khalidi Tape. Dirty Harry suggests a benefactor can offer $100,000. Well, I don't know if one will step forward. I can guarantee, though, that if the goods are delivered the blogosphere can contribute $20,000. In a matter of hours. Maybe more. More would depend on the tape. This offer is particularly directed towards Los Angeles Times employees. Maybe ones that just got fired. Or will get fired in the next couple of weeks. Guaranteed. Anonymous.

Gov.’s Candid Moments Caught on Audiotape By Robert Salladay September 08, 2006 in print edition A-1 In the sanctuary of his Capitol office with an audio recorder rolling, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger describes Republican legislators as the “wild bunch” and, referring to a Latina lawmaker, casually says that “black blood” mixed with “Latino blood” equals “hot” – a fiery personality. The governor is heard on a six-minute recording, obtained by The Times, of a meeting with some members of his inner circle last spring. At the time, Schwarzenegger was struggling to persuade Republican lawmakers to embrace his plan to place billions...

You can believe it or not. I want to believe it, but I have my doubts. Check it out here: Link: Michelle Obama tapes’ imminent release approaching: API in a serious negotiation with FOX NEWS on the best way forward.

The news agency that claimed Michelle Obama called to protest its coverage of WND stories about her husband has published an "open letter" to the potential first lady, suggesting she "confirm that we had a talk because it is the only right thing to do now." The statement from Norway-based African Press International , however, simply heightened the doubts readers have expressed over whether the tape exists and whether the reported conversation ever happened. Among the newest opinions about API: "A wonderful lesson in Scamming 101." "Just what is happening?" "Stop this now. Produce the tapes or shut up." Either...

DID YOU SEE IT ? From hair plugs to this. Now I know what those two beige streaks were on the side of his temples ! He used cosmetic tape to give himself an eye lift and it almost closed them shut.

Sometimes, this rumor of this alleged tape of Michelle Obama denouncing “whitey” sounds like something out of a clichéd political thriller novel. Actually, it sounds exactly like something out of a clichéd political thriller novel. Specifically, Stephen Frey’s The Power Broker, published in 2006 by Ballantine Books. A major plot line of the novel is the presidential campaign of Democrat Jesse Wood, aiming to be the country’s first African American president — “Wood was handsome, smart, charismatic, and being mentioned increasingly often in the press as someone who could unite a twenty-first century America growing more, not less, racially and...

Obama denies a rumor and questions the question Sen. Barack Obama on Thursday batted down rumors circulating on the Internet and mentioned on some cable news shows of the existence of a video of his wife using a derogatory term for white people, and criticized a reporter for asking him about the rumor, which has not a shred of evidence to support it. “We have seen this before. There is dirt and lies that are circulated in e-mails and they pump them out long enough until finally you, a mainstream reporter, asks me about it,” Obama said to the McClatchy...
