The union that represents Twin Rivers School District Police Officers is apologizing tonight for putting something on a T-shirt that puts the department in a bad light. The shirt shows a terrified child, behind bars, and bears the caption : “U Raise ‘em, We Cage ‘em. [sic]” Mean-spirited at best, and at worst, well... the ramifications are unsettling. The T-shirt, put out by the Twin Rivers Police Officer's Association, has been rejected by even those who made it. "We agree that it wasn't sending the right message, and it certainly doesn't represent the views and opinions of the men...

Obama campaign selling 'birther' T-shirts By Jordan Fabian - 05/18/11 11:53 AM ET President Obama isn't done trying to capitalize on claims that he was not born in the United States. Last month, Obama released his long-form birth certificate to prove he was born in Hawaii and lampooned billionaire businessman Donald Trump, who cast doubt on the authenticity of the president's birth certificate, at the White House Correspondents Dinner. His campaign is now selling T-shirts emblazoned with his face above the slogan "Made in U.S.A." On the back is an image of his birth certificate.

A federal appeals court has upheld a previous ruling that permitted a student at Neuqua Valley High School in Naperville to wear a T-shirt critical of homosexuality. After the school allowed students in 2006 to participate in an annual Day of Silence to promote tolerance of homosexuals, a student wore a T-shirt that stated, "Be Happy, Not Gay." School officials objected and first changed the words on the shirt to say, "Be Happy, Be Straight." Then they changed it to just, "Be Happy."

Americans may have fallen out of love with Barack Obama, but the president of the United States is still an object of affection for the Chinese, who have remodelled him as a blow-up sex doll.

Castillo's last known residence was on Derry Street in Ocean Springs, the sheriff added. A warrant was issued for Castillo on April 23 and detectives believe he fled the area shortly...

More people need to be willing to stand up for what is right, regardless of the personal feelings of others. Our goal should not be to offend people but their offense should not come before the safety and stability of the country. This is America and the rights of American’s should ALWAYS come first.

Man in Wheel Chair confronts Mexican Protesters and takes their flag!

Another strange occurance in the age of Obama that an overwhelmingly large portion of the the activist media is not reporting on, is the recent story of these American flag T-Shirts. The principal of Oak High School in Morgan Hill, California instructed kids who decided to wear their American flag T-shirts on Cinco De Mayo, were instructed to either turn their shirts inside out, take off their American flag bandanas, or be sent home. The ultimatum was delivered when students who were celebrating Cinco De Mayo found that the American flags were "offensive" to their celebration.

Tensions are rising at a California high school where five students were sent home for wearing American flag T-shirts on Cinco de Mayo.

The four students' parents were called...

A Round Lake Park woman was held in contempt and jailed because a judge found a message on her T-shirt offensive. Associate Judge Helen Rozenberg held Jennifer LaPenta, who was attending a hearing in a friend's case, in contempt of court for wearing a T-shirt that read: "I have the p----, so I make the rules." The judge asked LaPenta, 19, if she thought her shirt was appropriate. LaPenta said she told the judge that it would have been inappropriate if she had been the defendant. "They should be out looking for people who are breaking the law, not arresting...

Five students at a California high school were forced to leave school and then face disciplinary action yesterday for the crime of wearing clothing printed with American flag designs. If you’re wondering how being patriotic could possibly merit punishment, it’s because the kids displayed the American flags on May 5. And as everyone knows, American flags are absolutely verboten on May 5. Right? Doesn’t anybody remember that rule? Anybody? Bueller? ....

Barack Obama's tasteless and self-serving comment on the death of a breast cancer victimFrom ABC News“She insisted that she is going to be buried in an Obama t-shirt,” Obama said, “She was fighting that whole time not just to get me elected, not even to get herself health care, but because she understood that there were others coming behind her who were going to find themselves in the situation.

A new Biblical Obama slogan making the rounds on conservative T-shirts and bumper stickers is being interpreted as calling for the president's death.

Read the entire psalm here.
