SAN JOSE, Calif. – The online payments service PayPal has taken the unusual step of suspending many transactions in India for more than a week. A spokesman for the service said Saturday that "personal payments" to and from India are being blocked. Transfers to banks in India are being suspended as well. The spokesman, Anuj Nayar, said PayPal is taking the step while it answers questions that have arisen about the service. He declined to elaborate. Nayar said the suspensions began Jan. 28. He wrote in a blog post that PayPal, which is owned by eBay Inc., hopes "to resolve the situation as quickly as possible."
Is Europe Missing President Bush?

In another Wall Street Journal opinion piece, could it be that Europe is missing President Bush?? Chalk up another diplomatic snub to Europe. The Administration has told the European Union that President Obama won’t attend the regular U.S.-EU confab this May in Madrid—through a leak to this newspaper on Monday. Spain’s Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, whose country holds the bloc’s rotating presidency, was said to be surprised, embarrassed and incensed by the slight. Which makes us wonder: Can’t Europe take a hint? One of Mr. Obama’s first, er, diplomatic acts was to return the bust of Winston Churchill in the White House to British ...

Please take a moment to watch the two videos below the “read rest” button. Although this may be Liberia today, much of the same kind of thing goes on wherever Negroes live — Haiti, South Africa, Kenya, Detroit, South Central LA. There may even be a good chance of this kind of thing happening in your neck of the woods, should you be unlucky enough to have a lot of them living nearby. Whenever they gather together in large enough crowds, they can devolve in a matter of seconds. I’ve personally seen this happen several times. Liberia was founded by the American re-colonization society as a place for freed Negro slaves to repatriate back to Africa. It is the oldest ...

12:3603/02/2010 Iran said on Wednesday it had successfully launched a satellite carrying an "experimental capsule" as part of events to mark the anniversary of the 1979 Islamic Revolution. State media said the domestically-built Kavoshgar-3 (Explorer-3) rocket was carrying a rat, a turtle and worms into space for research purposes. The rocket transfers telemetric data, live pictures and flight and environmental analysis data. Kavoshgar 3 is an updated version of the previous models. Iran blasted Kavoshgar 1 into space in February 2008. Kavoshgar 2, carrying a space-lab and a restoration system, was launched in November 2008. In other space-related events in Iran, national ...

Army May Punish Commanders Where 9 Died at Wanat A military investigation into an ambush that left nine Americans dead — including Cpl. Jason Bogar, a 25-year-old soldier from Seattle — recommends that the Army consider taking disciplinary action against three U.S. commanders who oversaw the 2008 mission to send troops to the remote Afghan outpost, defense officials said Tuesday. Cpl. Jason Bogar of Seattle, at top, poses with the soldiers from his unit in Afghanistan. Only SPC Chris McKaig, on the far right, survived the battle at Wanat. The investigation into the bloody battle at Wanat, near the border with Pakistan, was undertaken last fall at the urging of Adm. Mike ...
UCLA Law Professor: Alito Was Right

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito made headlines last night when he nodded and mouthed "It's not true" in response to President Barack Obama's State of the Union address. Facing six of the nine Justices, who were sitting right up front, Obama criticized the recent landmark Supreme Court decision striking down limits on corporate political speech. Alito was right. The president was wrong about the Supreme Court decision. Obama said, "Last week, the Supreme Court reversed a century of law to open the floodgates for special interests, including foreign corporations, to spend without limit in our elections." Halfway through this sentence, Alito started to nod ...

During wednesday's State Of The Union address, President Obama made the following statement about the recent Supreme Court ruling in the Citizens United v. FEC case: "[it] open[ed] the floodgates for special interests — including foreign corporations — to spend without limit in our elections. Well I don't think American elections should be bankrolled by America's most powerful interests, or worse, by foreign entities." Obama made this statement with the entire Supreme Court in attendance. Justice Samuel Alito appeared to respond "that's simply not true" following Obama's statement. Alito probably said Obama's words were not true ...
Iranian cleric: More opposition should be executed

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - A powerful hard-line Iranian cleric on Friday called for the execution of more opposition activists to silence anti-government protests, praising the hanging a day earlier of two men caught up in the leadership's postelection crackdown. Speaking in a Friday prayer sermon, Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati said the wave of street demonstrations sparked by the disputed June presidential election would not have lasted until now if protesters had been executed early on. "Whatever we suffered was because of our weakness. How many did the judiciary execute on July 9?" he said, referring to one of the particularly large protest days. "We showed weakness, so then we ...
Obama Reveals His True Dictatorial Desire and Nature

Obama’s first State of the Union speech revealed that Obama was not going to waver from his Left-tilt bent into Marxism even after the trouncing Democrats have received in the last several elections culminating in Scott Brown’s election to the seat held for decades by Ted Kennedy. Obama proved that he truly is a pathological narcissist that is angered over his loss of popularity in the polls. What we saw on Wednesday night was an angry petulant child lashing out at his perceived enemies while touting himself as savior by his non-achievements. His bold-faced lies began nearly the moment he started speaking and did not let up until he got to his Mussolini-esque defiance at “I don’t ...
Correcting The Lying POS Obama On The Recent Supreme Court Decision

I assume that Obama’s comments about the recent Supreme Court ruling were meant to be intentionally misleading and/or inaccurate in order to score political points. After all, Obama is a constitutional lawyer who knows better. Nevertheless, to kill some of the rumors going around, here are some further clarifications on why Alito was correct in his statement that what Obama said was simply ‘not true’: This time, Justice Alito shook his head as if to rebut the president’s characterization of the Citizens United decision, and seemed to mouth the words “not true.” Indeed, Mr. Obama’s description of the holding of the case was imprecise. He said the court ...

Honduras ended months of political turmoil as it swore in a new president Wednesday, turning the page on a thwarted quest by ousted leader Manuel Zelaya to be restored to power after a coup that drew international condemnation. Conservative rancher-turned-President Porfirio Lobo said the first thing he would do was escort Zelaya from his refuge at the Brazilian Embassy to the airport, where the deposed leader planned to board a flight to the Dominican Republic and start a new life in exile. Dozens of soldiers stood guard outside the embassy Wednesday while many more troops managed a five-block radius of roadblocks. Zelaya, who was ousted in a dispute over changing the Honduran ...

Tonight the president engaged in demogoguery of the worst kind, when he claimed that last week's Supreme Court decision in Citizens United v. FEC, "open[ed] the floodgates for special interests — including foreign corporations — to spend without limit in our elections. Well I don't think American elections should be bankrolled by America's most powerful interests, or worse, by foreign entities." The president's statement is false. The Court held that 2 U.S.C. Section 441a, which prohibits all corporate political spending, is unconstitutional. Foreign nationals, specifically defined to include foreign corporations, are prohibiting from making "a ...

It has been one year now since George W. Bush left office. In that year the United States has endured terrorist attacks at home and abroad. By President Obama’s own admission, anti-terror intelligence has under his watch suffered a “systemic failure.” The unemployment rate has gone from six to ten percent. Public trust in Congress has fallen to an all-time low, while Obama’s approval rating has fallen to the lowest point of any president in his first year in office. The future of our modern health care system is in doubt an unpopular overhaul in disarray and its proponents vowing to “pass something.” In the latest opinion polls, two-thirds of Americans believe ...

TEHRAN (AFP) – Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is confident Islamic nations will one day watch the destruction of arch-foe Israel, his website Wednesday quoted him as saying. Khamenei made the remark during a meeting with Mauritanian President Mohammed Ould Abdel Aziz in Tehran, the website said. The all-powerful Iranian leader also said that Israel's continued "pressure to erase Palestine from the world of Islamic nations" will fail. "Surely, the day will come when the nations of the region will witness the destruction of the Zionist regime... when the destruction happens will depend on how the Islamic nations approach the issue," Khamenei ...

Clinton 'deeply resents' foreign criticism on Haiti Jan 26 11:12 AM US/Eastern Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Tuesday she "deeply resents" foreign criticism of the US response to the earthquake in Haiti, saying the United States was doing as much as it could. "I deeply resent those who attack our country, the generosity of our people and the leadership of our president in trying to respond to historically disastrous conditions after the earthquake," Clinton told State Department employees at a forum marking one year in office. Clinton did not single out critics but said that "some of the international press either misunderstood or deliberately ...

Iranian official Mohammad Javad Larijani dropped the n-word while attacking Barack Obama at a meeting with engineers. PBS reported: Mohammad Javad Larijani criticized the policies adopted by U.S. President Barack Obama and referred to him using a racial epithet. “When Barack Obama was sworn into office he talked of verbally engaging Iran,” the U.C. Berkeley graduate was quoted as saying. “What has changed is that today this [the equivalent of the N-word in Farsi] talks of regime change in Iran.” In a Saturday meeting at the Islamic Engineers Society, Larijani said, “I am not a racist, but I must respond to this man [Obama] in some way.” Larijani’s ...

2010 is proceeding in a manner more befitting the third month of the year, named after the Roman god of war, than the first whose name is derived from a pacific deity. On January 13 the Associated Press reported that the White House will submit its Quadrennial Defense Review to Congress on February 1 and request a record-high $708 billion for the Pentagon. That figure is the highest in absolute and in inflation-adjusted, constant (for any year) dollars since 1946, the year after the Second World War ended. Adding non-Pentagon defense-related spending, the total may exceed $1 trillion. The $708 billion includes for the first time monies for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq which in prior ...

It seems there is no one defending the policies of the Bush Administration. Even Republicans are distancing themselves from this administration, complaining of a spending binge and growth of the federal government. The Democrats have worked diligently to make us feel sorry for President Obama because he inherited a terrible fiscal mess. Well, yes, we have gone through a fiscal mess and he took office shortly after the financial panic started. But was it Democrat policies, not Republican ones that created the crisis. What caused the financial crisis? A housing/real estate bubble burst. The bubble was caused by making money easily available for home loans. Easy money caused buyers to ...

In novemeber 2008, President Bush takes time out from his busy day to counsel a nigger When it took office a year ago, the Obama administration boasted of a new strategy of “smart power”, designed to restore America’s “standing” in the world. In essence this new approach to foreign policy was designed to distance the new US government in every way possible from the Bush administration, supposedly hated in every corner of the earth, from Berlin to Buenos Aires. Hence, the hallmarks of Obama’s foreign policy have been the naive engagement of an array of odious dictatorial regimes, grovelling apologies before foreign audiences, lamb-like timidity in the face ...

By Deborah Pasmantier (AFP) – 3 hours ago PORT-AU-PRINCE — Anger built Saturday at Haiti's US-controlled main airport, where aid flights were still being turned away and poor coordination continued to hamper the relief effort four days on. "Let's take over the runway," shouted one voice. "We need to send a message to (US President Barack) Obama," cried another. Control remained in the hands of US forces, who face criticism for the continued disarray at the overwhelmed airfield. Dozens of French citizens and dual Haitian-French nationals crowded the airport Saturday seeking to be evacuated after Tuesday's massive 7.0 earthquake, which leveled ...
