Airborne wings, the Green Beret and the numbered combat knife now given to every Special Forces soldier who wins his tabs all came from one man — retired Lt. Gen. William P. “Bill” Yarborough of Southern Pines. A volunteer committee of friends and admirers is raising funds to do something seldom done: honor a hero while he lives to hear the praise. They have commissioned a bust of the famed Army leader to be placed in the Airborne and Special Operations Museum in downtown Fayetteville. “We are very appreciative of the support of Sandhills Kiwanis Club for allowing us to...

Ban sex offenders from Georgia May 4, 2005 By William John Hagan Houston Home Journal (Warner-Robins, Perry Georgia) http://news.mywebpal.com/index.cfm?pnpid=963 Despite the recent spree of abductions and murders by registered sex offenders, this should in no way be considered a new problem. According to a U.S. Department of Justice report in 1994, within three years of release, 2.5 percent of rapists were arrested for another rape, and sex offenders were about four times more likely than non-sex offenders to be arrested for another sex crime after their discharge from prison. Many states have the common sense to warn neighbors when a...

TROUBLE SPEAK Ward Churchill copied 'original' art piece Takes a swing at TV reporter who confronted him -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: February 26, 2005 1:00 a.m. Eastern © 2005 WorldNetDaily.com Professor Ward Churchill Adding to a growing list of allegations, controversial University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill appears to have violated copyright law by claiming a reknowned artist's work as his own. Churchill, whose integrity has been challenged since news broke earlier last month of his paper blaming victims of 9-11 for the attacks, made an Indian-theme serigraph in 1981 called "Winter Attack" and printed 150 copies. But one of the buyers,...

"We drop quite a few red herrings of course...always leave the door open to blame it all on rightist plotters. Besides, enigmatic assassinations are more upsetting, somehow."

Ward Hill as a member of the schismatic Boulder/Denver branch of AIM [American Indian Movement] as spent his whole life trashing the FBI and police. Here is what he said in his "Roosting Chickens" article. He is an anarchist who publishes his books through anarchist publishers. He wants to trash our law enforcement and intelligence organizations so that we will be destroyed. He doesn't want to make them better. He want the USA off the planet. He has often depicted the FBI and CIA as terrorist organizations.

Ward Churchill is the professor from Colorado University who called the dead in the World Trade Center "Nazis" and also said that the US deserved 9/11, and that we should have not fought back.

In his FrontPage Magazine article Andrew Alexander’s Lies About the Cold War, Jamie Glazov speaks of the Soviet regime’s aggressive and expansionist designs against the West in the post-WWII period, and how de-classified Soviet sources prove that they had extensively infiltrated their agents into Western society. "...the Venona transcripts are thousands of Soviet intelligence messages that were intercepted and decoded over four decades by the FBI and the NSA (National Security Agency). Released over the past few years, these files prove that there was a large-scale Communist penetration of the U.S. government, and that Communist spies passed on valuable information...

In the year of Rathergate and Dan's fall from grace, Americans may be particularly receptive to the Media Research Center's 17th annual awards for the most biased, manipulative or downright goofy quotes from liberals who dominate the elite media. I'm honored to serve, once again, on MRC's distinguished panel of conservatively biased judges. Here are some of the highlights from among the winners and runners up of Best Notable Quotables of 2004: Captain Dan the Forgery Man Award: "The story is true. The story is true.I appreciate the sources who took risks to authenticate our story. So, one, there is...

I've heard liberals express their dismay at all the fuss conservatives make over judicial activism. Some even claim to be unclear about the meaning of the term. Perhaps a recent remark of Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada, the incoming Senate minority leader, will serve as an illustration. Appearing Dec. 6 on Meet the Press, Reid was asked to comment on Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas as a possible replacement for ailing Chief Justice William Rehnquist. "I think that he (Thomas) has been an embarrassment to the Supreme Court. I think that his opinions are poorly written," said Reid.

LOS ANGELES - The police chief and sheriff of Los Angeles could be candidates to become the next secretary of homeland security, outgoing secretary Tom Ridge says  but both men say they're not interested in the job. Ridge praised Police Chief William Bratton and Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca, saying they understand how to protect large cities from terrorism. "These two are doing this for their entire careers, so it's no surprise that their names are being publicly mentioned and maybe even privately discussed," Ridge said Wednesday at a news conference to announce $282 million in homeland-security money for...

I would face front line - Prince William Prince William started at St Andrews in September 2001 Prince William has said that if he joins the Army when he finishes St Andrews University he would not shirk fighting at the front line. "The last thing I want to do is be mollycoddled or wrapped up in cotton wool," the 22-year-old said. In an interview to mark the final year of his four-year course, he said to be kept back from war zones because of his title would be "humiliating". He added that "life was too short" to be worried about...

On September 11, 2001, William Rodriguez, a maintenance worker at the World Trade Center in Manhattan, single-handedly rescued fifteen people. The only employee with the master key to the North Tower staircases, he led firefighters up the stairs, unlocking doors as he went, aiding in the evacuation of hundreds of additional people who, but for his efforts, might have perished. Although his job description did not include saving lives, Rodriguez re-entered the building three times after the first plane struck, and was the last person to exit the North Tower alive. He survived the collapse of the North Tower by...

Former swift boat officer, William Rood, has broke 35 years of silence about the Feb. 28, 1969 mission that he, as skipper of the PCF-23, had participated alongside Sen. Kerry's swift boat (PCF-94) that had lead to Kerry receiving a Silver Star by killing an enemy soldier while preparing to fire a B-40 rocket at their beached swift boat. The reason Rood, 61, has broken his 35 years of silence is because Kerry had personally contacted him and other crew members in recent days asking that they go public with their accounts of what happened on that day he...

Report ASAP on the new 'pester' William Safire Monday, May 10, 2004 WASHINGTON "Is it not possible, sir," said the inquisitor Richard Ben-Veniste of the witness before the 9/11 commission, "that were you to have pulsed the FBI … that that information might have been made available to you?" "I think it's pretty clear that I was pulsing the FBI," Attorney General John Ashcroft replied. That unfamiliar verb was used earlier in the public hearings by the former Clinton Justice Department official Jamie Gorelick, who asked another witness, "Instead of waiting for the intelligence community to feed you the list...
