American Muslims are banned from helping U.S. soldiers deployed in Afghanistan, Iraq and other “Muslim lands,” according to a shocking fatwa, or religious decree, recently issued by American-based Islamic jurists.  One of the most respected Islamic law authorities in America has decreed it is “not permissible” for even Muslims who are citizens of America to send food or other aid to American troops serving in those Muslim countries.

The corporate media is once again lavishing the “Coffee Party” with favorable coverage after having demonized the Tea Party as racist extremists for nearly a year, proof positive that the much vaunted new movement, which is run by an Obama campaign operative, is nothing more than a front for the establishment.  In a new report entitled, Coffee Party, Tea alternative?, CNN’s Lisa Sylvester allows Coffee Party members to talk at length about how they are more “reasonable” than Tea Party members and how the Coffee Party represents a genuine alternative that will “stop shouting and get things done in Washington” without spewing “hateful rhetoric”.

“This Coffee Party is a joke!  The Marxist/Liberal/Progressives can’t duplicate the Real-ness of the Tea Party movement with people who don’t feel passionate about a contrived and fabricated counter-reaction from the fear they feel from a true blue grassroots movement that threatens their Progressive agendas!”  Say’s Jon Healy

Lawmakers working to craft a new comprehensive immigration bill have settled on a way to prevent employers from hiring illegal immigrants: a national biometric identification card all American workers would eventually be required to obtain.  Lawmakers working to craft a new comprehensive immigration bill have settled on a way to prevent employers from hiring illegal immigrants: a national biometric identification card all American workers would eventually be required to obtain.

The contrast between Texas and California is so stark as to question the very possibility of the Golden State ever returning to balanced budget prosperity.  Liberal strongholds in San Francisco and Los Angeles have provided Democrats with the Legislative punch to gain a strangle hold on California’s governmental operations.

Months after reporting that the number of illegal immigrants removed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement increased 47 percent during President Obama’s first year in office, the Department of Homeland Security on Monday corrected the record, saying the actual increase in those deported and “voluntary departures” was 5 percent.  The 387,790 illegal immigrants removed by ICE in fiscal 2009 was still a record, as cited in the department’s Fiscal Year 2009 Annual Financial Report, which was dated Nov. 16.

Many of the same news organizations and research groups today dismissing concerns about Barack Obama’s constitutional eligibility were far more eager to cover the issue when Republican presidential candidate John McCain was the subject.  An archive search shows the question of McCain’s birth certificate and his eligibility to be president was actively pursued by Democratic Party activists and the mainstream media in the run-up to the 2008 presidential election, despite the ridicule now heaped upon those questioning Obama’s qualifications under Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution.

Greece this past weekend saw the worst rioting since the debt crisis began. After Athens had announced new tax hikes and budget cuts to reduce a deficit of 13 percent of gross domestic product, mobs drove guards from Greece’s Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and attacked police.  In our own country, students, teachers and administrators at UC-Berkeley held a “Strike and Day of Action to Defend Education” to demand more money from taxpayers—for themselves.

As Obama and Emanuel work around the clock to strong-arm Democrats opposed to nationalized medicine, causing moderate Democrats like Evan Bayh and Eric Massa to retire or resign, the clock ticks on Obama’s window of opportunity.  Speaking from his WKPQ-FM radio show Sunday night, Massa told listeners - “He is an individual who would sell his mother to get a vote. He would strap his children to the front end of a steam locomotive,” Massa said of Emanuel’s desire to lock up vital votes on healthcare reform.

Global financier the International Monetary Fund has switched its attention to the environment with a plan for the world’s governments to pool together to raise money needed to adapt to climate change.  IMF managing director Dominique Strauss-Kahn said the fund was worried about the huge amount of money needed and the effect that will have on the global economy.  He added that the proposal may help efforts to reach a binding agreement on climate change later this year.

San Diego — U.S. Customs and Border Protection marine interdiction crews in San Diego stopped two smuggling attempts last night, seizing a boat filled with nearly half a ton of marijuana in Mission Bay and stopping a boat off of Leucadia, Calif. with 17 illegal immigrants aboard.  At approximately 7:30 p.m. Tuesday night,

Over the weekend: The violence continues

Three police officers were gunned down while on routine patrol in Colonia
Hacienda Los Morales.  Unknown  subjects in a red Dodge Ram killed three
officers and wounded another.  Military and State Police are attempting to
locate the shooters.

Exposure of corrupt climate science and fraudulent claims has completely upended the climate debate. Now the climate skeptics and deniers are those who pushed the anthropogenic global warming (AGW) claim. Falsely accused of receiving oil company money, I know how they used funding to smear people.  In reality, almost all the funding came from government and because of the political objective went to block science and promote propaganda. The US Department of Energy (DOE) and other government agencies provided a portion of the approximately $21 million research funding obtained by climate researchers at the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia.

One of the banks of attorneys assigned to quash demands for documentation that President Obama is constitutionally eligible to occupy the Oval Office is counting on a ruling that American citizens have no “standing” to demand that information.

The attorneys argued in a brief submitted to the U.S. 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals that any injury to someone whose president is not eligible is the same injury for all people, so the individual has no legal standing to complain.

A close friend of mine, Jost Bauch, who teaches general sociology and sociology of medicine as a part-time professor at the German University of Konstanz, has recently seen what he had of a career brought to a grinding halt.

Probably because of his non-leftist views, which stand out in the leftist and anti-nationalist German university system, Jost was never allowed to move beyond part-time work, despite his advanced degrees and multiple professional publications.

Shocking new figures show the number of soldiers who committed suicide in January could top the number of soldiers killed in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan last month.

In a rare move, the Army released monthly suicide data Thursday to highlight the growing problem. Last week, Army officials said its suicide rates were at their highest in nearly 30 years.

It is a universal political truth that administrations do not begin to fragment when things are going well: it only happens when they go badly, and those who think they know better begin to attack those who manifestly do not. The descent of Barack Obama’s regime, characterised now by factionalism in the Democratic Party and talk of his being set to emulate Jimmy Carter as a one-term president, has been swift and precipitate. It was just 16 months ago that weeping men and women celebrated his victory over John McCain in the American presidential election. If they weep now, a year and six weeks into his rule, it is for different reasons.

Riviera Maya, Quintana Roo, Mexico – During the Second Plenary Session of the Summit on Latin American and Caribbean Unity, Mexican President Felipe Calderón reported that one of the agreements reached by the 25 Heads of State and Government was to create the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States as a regional space comprising all the states in the region. “We are showing the world that despite our legitimate and understandable differences, Latin American and Caribbean nations have decided to unite, find the mechanisms for understanding each other and resolve our differences.

The Bishops of the Catholic Conference of Arizona are protesting a bill proposed by Arizona State Sen. Russell Pearce (R-Mesa) which would criminalize the presence of illegal aliens in Arizona. The measure would also require local police officers to determine an arrestee’s immigration status.  The new law would essentially eliminate the so-called ‘sanctuary’ policies for illegal aliens, in cities such as Tucson.

TIJUANA — Four agents of the Tijuana Police Department were apprehended on Thursday, accused of robbery against a Korean tourist.

The victim, Kim Chum Ku, is president of the World Youth Association of Taekwondo and a member of the organizing committee of the TKD World Championship that is currently under way in the city.

Income tax to the Federal Government is not for income to the government—not one penny.

What is it for then? It is for social control. This is a fiat money syndrome. Fiat paper money causes more direct government control over citizens. In filing Federal Income Tax forms people reveal a complete profile of their public as well as their private lives.

As states across the nation grapple with declining revenues, some legislatures are compensating by making cuts to colleges and universities.  Utah lawmakers are considering the same actions as they try to figure out how to fill in a $700 million gap between projected revenues and budgeted expenses. If cuts are made, our institutions of higher learning - like those in other states - will have to make some unpopular choices.

Citigroup, one the world’s largest banks, was bailed out with some $45 billion of U.S. taxpayer funds and we taxpayers – you and I – still own a little over one quarter of the company.  Do you recall making this investment? I don’t.  Nevertheless, in testimony before a panel appointed by Congress to oversee management of the $700 billion TARP fund which financed the Citigroup bailout, the bank’s CEO, Vikram Pandit, thanked all of us.

If the charges against David Anthony Parga by the Orange County District Attorney’s office are true, then it’s time to welcome another group of racist nitwits to our county’s collection of skinheads, Holocaust deniers, and and queer bashers: Latino gang members intent on terrorizing African-Americans to the point of death.

TALLAHASSEE — Mentally ill patients are being placed on waiting lists for treatment because Florida’s mental health institutions are crowded with illegal immigrants.

The crisis puts Florida at the forefront of a national debate over whether illegal immigrants should enjoy the same rights to public health care as legal residents.

The Republican party is destroying itself. That’s the message you’ll see repeated in media outlet after media outlet. That is the liberal talking point that has been spread throughout 2008 and 2009 by the press over and over again. It’s the one they’re still repeating now, even as the Tea Party movement has gone from a populist movement that the media ignored and then smeared when they couldn’t ignore it anymore, to a national force in politics. It’s the mantra that they’re still chanting even as so many Democratic congressmen are departing that it almost feels like a coup.

Rahm Emanuel has emerged as the major problem within the White House on reform of immigration.  A New York Times magazine article due out this Sunday reports that Hispanic leader in Congress believe that he does not take the the issue seriously and is the person blocking progress.

Homeland Security and the National Security Agency may be taking a closer look at Internet communications in the future.  The Department of Homeland Security’s top cybersecurity official told CNET on Wednesday that the department may eventually extend its Einstein technology, which is designed to detect and prevent electronic attacks, to networks operated by the private sector. The technology was created for federal networks.

Since the establishment media is convinced that tea party members, 9/11 truthers, libertarians, Ron Paul supporters, and basically anyone with a dissenting political opinion is a likely domestic terrorist, they should be celebrating the fact that a new bill would allow the government to detain such people as “enemy belligerents” indefinitely and without trial based on their “suspected activity”.  The “Enemy Belligerent, Interrogation, Detention, and Prosecution Act of 2010,” introduced by Senators John McCain and Joseph Lieberman on Thursday with little fanfare………

“Ahhhhhh!  Mr. McCain.  You are a total Traitor and you prove it all the time.  This last blunder selling Americans out will KILL your re-election possibility.  Although nearly non-existant, McCain again throws Americans under the bus and will not win the upcoming political battle as a result!  Way to go John McCain!  You make easy for us to get rid of you.”  Say’s Jon Healy

Rep. Eric Massa (D-N.Y.) says the House ethics committee is investigating him for inappropriate comments he made to a male staffer on New Year’s Eve — and that he’s the victim of a power play by Democratic leaders who want him out of Congress because he’s a “no” vote on health care reform.  “Mine is now the deciding vote on the health care bill,” Massa, who on Friday announced his intention to resign, said during a long monologue on radio station WKPQ. “And this administration and this House leadership have said, quote-unquote, they will stop at nothing to pass this health care bill. And now they’ve gotten rid of me, and it will pass. You connect the dots.”

“When the Federal Government goes against the Majority of Americans and foces us into Obama care, then they have become a Dictator!  When the Federal Government pushes out Congressmen who don’t play ball, that is Facism!  It has become apparent that what we have is a Facist Dictatorship with the Obama administration!”  Say’s Jon Healy

The unemployment rate held at 9.7 percent in February, according to the Labor Department’s estimate on Friday, as payrolls shrank by a less than expected 36,000 jobs. The figures suggest a stable job market with little or no new hiring.  Indeed, economists believe that the month’s horrible weather may have increased job losses by as much as 100,000. Implication: absent the snow, the economy likely would have seen a net job gain in February, for only the second time since the recession began two years ago.
