FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CHICAGO (July 17, 2009) – The American Islamic Forum for Democracy (AIFD) is calling on American Muslim organizations to denounce Hizb ut-Tahrir, one of the oldest and largest indoctrinating organizations for jihadism. Hizb ut-Tahrir is holding its first U.S. recruiting conference at the Hilton Oak Lawn hotel on July 19, 2009. Hizb ut-Tahrir is an Islamist network that is committed to creating an Islamic Caliphate that spans the globe.

The very important Performance of Manufacturing Index that the Institute for Supply Management produces stands at 43.5. Anything below 50 is contraction. All the important manufacturing indicators are now negative. In plain English, the US is in recession. For years I have been stressing that the focus on consumption as the leading indicator of economic health is dangerously misleading. In 1999 I pointed out that manufacturing was contracting and that this meant an impending recession. Nevertheless, the economic commentariat cheerfully claimed that falling unemployment and rising GDP was proof that the Clinton boom was succeeding. Of course, once recession struck...

WASHINGTON, DC - In what is perhaps a first glimpse into his post-presidential life, George W. Bush today announced plans to produce a film about Oliver Stone. Sources say the project is merely satire, and only very loosely based on the acclaimed director / producer's life. In it, the filmmaker falls on hard times due to the sluggish economy, and is reduced to making low-budget political hit pieces to pay off gambling debts and support a raging cocaine habit. The film, currently under the working title Oliver Twisted, is a whimsical look at Stone's declining career. "I thought that making...

Democrat: You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. You feel guilty for being successful. You vote people into office that put a tax on your cows, forcing you to sell one to raise money to pay the tax. The people you voted for then take the tax money, buy a cow and give it to your neighbor. You feel righteous. Barbara Streisand composes a song for you and Sings it in your honor. Socialist: You have two cows. The government takes one and gives it to your neighbor. You form a cooperative to tell him how to manage his...

I received this in my email. Sorry if it has already been posted - I did a search and couldn't find it. The writer of this letter forgot to thank scumbag for turning down Sudan's offer (twice) to hand over osama on a silver platter. Can you think of any more?

My good friend Mike ended his life yesterday.This came as quite a shock as I have known him for almost twenty years and didn't have a clue that he was capable of this.I don't have many details on why he did it.I do know that I'll miss him and I would appreciate it if my fellow Freepers would say a prayer for his family tonight.

Authorities in Georgia arrested a New York truck driver on the suspicion that he held a woman captive in his rig for more than a year. A maintenance worker at an I-75 rest stop in McMinn County, Tenn., saw a message the woman left in a restroom and alerted police.

The 24-year-old victim says Shannon Jones held her hostage for more than a year, roaming the United States in his truck. Katina Shaddix said Jones would follow her...

A jilted lover gave his ex-girlfriend the finger yesterday, wrapping up his severed middle digit and sending it to her at work in Manhattan, police said. Then he called and asked her, "How did you like your Valentine's Day gift?" according to a law enforcement source. Cops arrested Forest Simon, 24, his left hand wrapped in a fresh bandage, and took him to Bellevue Hospital for a psychiatric evaluation. The heartsick Romeo, still pining for the hair stylist he dated before their breakup a year ago, used a messenger to deliver the black jewelry box containing the finger to House ...

Jessie Jackson has added former Chicago democratic congressman Mel Reynolds to the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition's payroll. Reynolds was among the 176 criminals excused in President Clinton's last-minute forgiveness spree. Reynolds received a commutation of his six-and-a-half-year federal sentence for 15 convictions of wire fraud, bank fraud & lies to the Federal Election Commission. He is more notorious; however, for concurrently serving five years for sleeping with an underage campaign volunteer. This is a first in American politics: An ex-congressman who had sex with a subordinate, won clemency from a president who had sex with a subordinate, then was hired by a ...

Pioneering auto supplier Heinz Prechter, a big Republican Party fund-raiser, died today at his suburban Detroit home at the age of 59. A spokeswoman for the A-S-C Incorporated business he founded in 19-65 says Prechter had suffered from depression for years.

The president says he is saddened ...

I'm so sick of hearing that President-Elect George W. Bush was lying to the media when asked whether Vice-President-Elect Dick Cheney had suffered a heart attack.
