Federal agents raided the offices Tuesday of a New York City police union, the Sergeants Benevolent Association, and the Long Island home of its bombastic leader, who has clashed with city officials over his incendiary tweets and hard-line tactics. FBI spokesperson Martin Feely said agents were “carrying out a law enforcement action in connection with an ongoing investigation.” Along with the union’s Manhattan headquarters, agents also searched union president Ed Mullins’ home in Port Washington, Long Island, Feely said. Messages seeking comment were left with Mullins and the union. Mullins, who is also a police sergeant, is in the middle...

This election is about a clear choice on America's way forward. It's about whether you want a government to take care of you, or one that gives you the opportunity to take care of yourself and prosper through your own hard work. If you believe more government programs, subsidies and regulations — all enacted with good intentions — are the way to lead us out of recession and make us competitive in a tough global economy, then the three Democrats seeking re-election to New Mexico's U.S. House of Representative seats would be the way to go. If you think we...

Republicans in the 3rd Congressional District decided to stick with a traditional GOP conservative instead of a young, Ron Paul-style libertarian to run against incumbent U.S. Rep. Ben Ray Luján. Tom Mullins, a Farmington oilman and political newcomer, easily defeated Adam Kokesh of Santa Fe. Kokesh was an unusual candidate from the start. He was endorsed by Paul, a congressman from Texas who ran for president in 2008, and was embraced by members of Paul's nationwide "Liberty Movement." Kokesh, a Marine who fought in Iraq, had gained nationwide recognition for being a combat veteran opposing the war. He was escorted...

Dan Fanelli is a candidate for the House from central Florida. Suddenly things have heated up over at http://www.electdan2010.com/ Want to know why contributions to the Fanelli campaign have ticked up in the last few days? Go to the Freedom Radio site waaaaay down on the bottom left and watch Dan's commercials. Ah, yes, thank you mainstream media for your accidental support of the Fanelli Campaign. CAIR has demanded an apology to Muslims in response to this ad. To borrow a Mark Levin phrase, Mr. Fanelli can only say, “thank me”! CAIR as an un-indicted co-conspirator demands an apology for...

Mullins said this about his big win: “I am both humbled and honored by the people’s vote today. It is clear that change is needed in New Mexico, starting with the United States congressional representatives from New Mexico on down to the state’s elected positions,” he said. “I am pleased with the support I received from so many Republicans. I look forward to defeating Ben Ray Lujan Jr. and representing the people in the 3rd district.” Update, 7 p.m. Kokesh didn’t qualify for the ballot today but plans to stay in the race. “Our campaign is energized, and we’re committed...

District Attorney Susana Martinez of Las Cruces topped the Republican candidate field for governor Saturday at the state party's nominating convention in Albuquerque, winning the top ballot spot for the June 1 primary election. Former state party Chairman Allen Weh was the only other candidate of five Republican gubernatorial contenders to win the necessary 20 percent of the delegate vote for a convention nomination to the ballot. Martinez won nearly 47 percent of the vote. Weh received 26 percent. "It's a huge step, and (the vote) certainly says Republicans want to unite to take back New Mexico," Martinez said. ......

Republican Tom Mullins joins us to discuss his candidacy for U.S. Congress in New Mexico’s 3rd District race. http://www.mullinsforcongress.com/ Following him, we’ll discuss the phony Republican and antiwar anarchist Adam Kokesh who is pretending to be a conservative patriot, and other switchero electioniering tactics around the nation. Other guests joining us will be “Band of Mothers” founder Bev Perlson and Chris Hill and Captain Larry Bailey of “Gathering of Eagles”.

Yesterday, I wrote about Adam Kokesh and his anti-military, anti-American actions which would make him a poor representative for New Mexico. He’s running as a Republican in the primary, which is interesting considering his many affiliations with Marxist and liberal organizations, like CODEPINK, A.N.S.W.E.R., and of course, the Iraq Veterans Against the War. He’s a liar and a phony who has been arrested multiple times and encouraged soldiers in Germany to go AWOL. Yet now, he parades himself as some kind of Constitutional crusader. Fortunately, there is an alternative. Tom Mullins is also running as a Republican to represent New...

Ben Lujan (D) -- Tom Mullins (R) -- Adam Kokesh (?)Incumbent U.S. Congressman Ben Lujan (D-NM, 3) was once considered 'safe' to win reelection to Congress. Yet Lujan voted for bringing Khalid Sheikh Mohammed here for federal trial, the health care bill, Cap and Trade, and the TARP bailout. In the only recent poll, a Democrat pollster now finds Lujan's lead over main Republican rival Tom Mullins has narrowed to within the margin of error, 40 to 36. Adam Kokesh running as a Republican in the primary against Mullins and his trailing Lujan only 40 to 32 are both far...

OXFORD, Miss. -- Ole Miss athletic director Pete Boone announced Monday that the school will retire the late Chucky Mullins' No. 38 football jersey during pregame ceremonies Sept. 3, when the Rebels open the 2006 season against the University of Memphis. "There are only a few people in this world that have the courage and competitive spirit to overcome the unbelievable obstacles Chucky faced," Boone said in announcing the decision to retire No. 38. "His legacy reaches beyond the football field and deserves to be memorialized as such. "It was decided that the ultimate way to honor Chucky Mullins and...
