Thanks for viewing! This short video is based on a true event that happened on a US Navy liberty boat- (top railing), going on liberty from the USS Kitty Hawk CVA-63 to NAS San Diego California in the fall of 1967. The little bumblebee appeared to be dead and was blown aboard and landed in front of my eyes on the top railing. I prayed a short prayer and the bee jumped up and flew away. Not one sparrow falls or dies without our heavenly father knowing and also not one bee. Jesus the Lord really cares for YOU and...

Warming up a crowd in North Carolina Saturday, Republican Rep. Robin Hayes offered the diagnosis that “liberals hate real Americans that work and achieve and believe in God.” His remarks came shortly after he had said he would “make sure we don’t say something stupid, make sure we don’t say something we don’t mean.” Hayes had followed Rep. Patrick McHenry, also a North Carolina Republican, who laid out the choice between McCain and Obama. “It’s like black and white,” yelled someone from the crowd. HT: ThinkProgress Update: Hayes spokeswoman, Amanda Little, says that Hayes absolutely denies making the comments that...

Rep. says 'Liberals hate real Americans' By: Ryan Grim October 21, 2008 02:26 PM EST Rep. Robin Hayes (R-N.C.), has conceded that he did tell a North Carolina crowd that "liberals hate real Americans that work and accomplish and achieve and believe in God," even though he initially denied making such a statement. Now he says he didn’t mean it that way, and he was just trying to rev up a campaign rally. “I genuinely did not recall making the statement and, after reading it, there is no doubt that it came out completely the wrong way. I actually was...

The mainstream media has justified ignoring this story based on a “conspiracy theory” chain email (politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/465) making the rounds from some African missionaries. Politifact.com examined the email—which claims Obama gave $1MM to Odinga’s campaign—and declared it “a pants on fire”. However, the underlying (more important issues) are verifiably true. In August and September 2006, Senator Barack Obama traveled to South Africa, Chad, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Chad and Kenya as a congressional delegation of one (Codel Obama) (“Codel Obama” The Hill 9/7/2006) While in Kenya, Obama consistently appeared at the side of fellow Luo Raila Odinga (“your agent for change’), who was...

TAIPEI, Taiwan -- "Please do not sit for too long every day to fool around with your personal computer," a Tainan surgeon warned yesterday. If you do, the chances are that you may get hemorrhoids. Known commonly as piles, hemorrhoids are swellings of veins in the lower rectum or anus, either internal (above the anal sphincter) or external (outside the sphincter). Frequently associated with constipation, straining to defecate, pregnancy, or prolonged sitting, hemorrhoids are often painful and sometimes bleed with defecation. Treatment includes topical agents to shrink and anesthetize the hemorrhoids, compresses, and if severe, ligation or surgical excision. Dr....

It Might Be True That 'Men Marry Their Mothers' ScienceDaily (May 7, 2008) — Whether a young man's mother earned a college degree and whether she worked outside the home while he was growing up seems to have an effect years later when he considers his ideal wife, according to a study by University of Iowa sociologist Christine Whelan. High-achieving men -- those who earn salaries in the top 10 percent for their age and/or have a graduate degree -- are highly likely to marry a woman whose education level mirrors their mom's. Nearly 80 percent of the high-achieving men...

FORT SAM HOUSTON, Texas, March 27, 2008 – Gavin Cox could have traveled to any exotic locale or tried any profession in the world, but this 5-year-old with leukemia had just one wish: to be a soldier. Army Maj. Gen. Russell Czerw, Fort Sam Houston, Texas, installation commander, teaches 5-year-old Gavin Cox how to shoot an M-9 pistol at the ES 2000 weapons training facility. Gavin also trained on an M-16 rifle and walked away with a marksmanship badge. Photo by Ed Dixon   (Click photo for screen-resolution image);high-resolution image available.

True Story? Men Prefer 'Chick Flicks' When They Are Explicitly Fictionalized ScienceDaily (Jan. 10, 2008) — Characterized by a heart-tugging plot, emotional melodrama is a subtype of dramatic entertainment that fosters deep emotional reactions on the part of the consumer. Often labelled "chick-flicks," "tearjerkers," or "human interest stories," the importance of this form of entertainment is underscored by the popularity and success of movies like Titanic and the "Oprah Winfrey Show." However, despite the apparent popularity of melodramatic entertainment, scant academic attention has been paid to the genre. Now, new research examines emotional melodrama and finds a significant difference between...

The eldest children in families tend to develop slightly higher I.Q.s than their younger siblings, researchers are reporting, based on a large study that could effectively settle more than a half-century of scientific debate about the relationship between I.Q. and birth order.

I announced my candidacy for the 2008 Republican Presidential nomination with a speech at the National Press Club in Washington D.C. on January 21, 2005. The common theme among ... candidates is "we need a true conservative" or "we need a Reagan conservative." I have two issues with this. First, this is the Republican primaries, every candidate is going to try to sound like Ronald Reagan and none of us is Mr. Reagan. Second, I believe we need a President who is more conservative than Ronald Reagan and I am that candidate.

Ubi Christus, ibi ecclesia And behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Matthew 20:28 At the other end of the sea whose shore lies before us, by the Sils Maria, there is an inscription carved into a mighty stone, on a forested peninsula. The inscription reads "Friedrich Nietzsche" and above is the song of the deep midnight, from the Zarathustra who once originated in Sils Maria. Year after year Nietzsche had fled from the hustle of the world to the loneliness of this mountain vale, upon which at that time lay the deep...

BOGOTA, Colombia - After a two-year search among more than 300,000 candidates nationwide, Colombia on Thursday unveiled the new Juan Valdez, the country's iconic coffee ambassador to the world. His real name is Carlos Castaneda. Like his two predecessors, the 39-year-old sports the leather bag, bushy mustache and straw hat typical of rural Colombia where the world-famous arabica coffee is grown. But unlike those other Valdezes — who were played by a Cuban-born actor and a silk-screen artisan — Castaneda knows a thing or two about growing coffee. The oldest of 10 children born on a coffee farm, he picked...

For years, Sacramento wags have joked about “state Sen. Rudy Bermudez, D-California Correctional Peace Officers Association,” because the only thing the Norwalk lawmaker seems to care about is propping up the pay and benefits of prison guards. Given what happened this week in the Legislature, it is now just as proper to think of Sens. Don Perata, Debra Bowen and Gil Cedillo as being “D-California Teachers Association” – because their primary allegiance obviously isn't to Californians in general. This week Perata, Bowen and Cedillo killed Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's nomination of David Crane, a highly regarded San Francisco financier, to the...

After months of tacit approval, Vermont Democrats made it official: Bernie Sanders is one of them, at least for this election season.

MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. (Dec. 20, 2005) -- Most children grow up playing with trucks and tanks, but few of them have the chance to ever experience riding the “Iron Horse.” Thanks to the Make-a-Wish Foundation and the Marines of 2nd Tank Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, that experience came alive for six-year-old Brandon Rasnick of Lehigh Acres, Fla. Brandon, who was promoted to the rank of sergeant by his fellow Marines, has cystic fibrosis, a genetic lung disorder. Since his one wish was train with Marines and to “save the world,” the Marines of 2nd Tanks arranged a...

Sifting through hundreds of bills lawmakers sent to his desk at the end of the session, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger provided fresh evidence that he is a maverick who will never satisfy either the left or the right wings of California politics. On labor, business and fiscal issues, the governor tilts right. On the environment, he leans left. On social issues, his instincts go left but are tempered by the legal and political realities he confronts. He is not so much a consistent centrist as a mix of conservative and liberal positions, an eclectic combination of views that makes him a...

Last week, I outlined the problem of the age: the incompatibility of Islam with a multicultural West that hides away inconvenient history and disturbing doctrine under layers of political correctness. Without stripping them off to examine the problem, all we get is a lot of wishful thinking. Historian Niall Ferguson, writing in the London Telegraph on the intensifying "Muslim colonization" of Europe, has decided that such "demographic shifts" are not "invariably a bad thing." After all, seven centuries of jihad-imposed dhimmitude for infidels in Muslim Spain gave us the Alhambra, or something. It's that pesky "ideology" of conquest that follows...
