Myrtle Beach police received reports of five armed robberies, a stabbing, a shooting and an incident involving a shotgun being pointed at a security guard during a nearly eight-hour period in the city early Sunday and Monday. Because so many people were in the area for Memorial Day celebrations and the Atlantic Beach Bikefest, officers responded to numerous criminal complaints and traffic violations, said Myrtle Beach police Capt. David Knipes. "Policing this event has always come with huge challenges. Unfortunately, criminal activity is often associated with large events, which is why we have deployed additional officers to allow us to respond to this increase in activity," ...

Jeremiah Wright taught his pupil well. Barack Hussein Obama hates Israel so intensely that appearing with its defender Benjamin Netanyahu nearly made his microcephalic head explode. Tonya Reiman provides body language analysis: Any Jew who votes for the Manchurian Moonbat twice has betrayed his people. But then, the same goes for any American.
Obama Golfs, Vacations During Devastating Tornadoes, Flooding, Memorial Day

Barack Obama has just finished a month of the most crass, self-indulgent, embarassing, and insensitive behavior here and abroad and no one in the media is mentioning it. It is absolutely astounding how the media cover for him.
This weekend: The President arrived Sunday in Joplin, Missouri, A FULL WEEK after 139 people died, and 100 are still missing, from one of the worst tornadoes in the country’s history.
He TOURED JOPLIN for TEN MINUTES. He gave a TEN MINUTE SPEECH. He flew home. Michelle Obama flew to Ireland and England with her husband, drank beer, dressed up and chummed with the royals, but she was apparently “too busy” to go to Missouri. Or was she too “tired” from her ...
Reelecting Obama

Memo to GOP: Obama will campaign against Bush (again) and play the race card. Don’t let him get away with it. We are beginning to see the contours of the upcoming 2012 reelection campaign of Barack Obama. Whether always officially sanctioned or not, Obama’s campaign will focus on three general themes: a) the 2008 meltdown of the economy on Bush’s watch; b) conservative heartlessness in gutting cherished entitlement programs; and c) racial bias behind any criticism of Barack Obama. By any standard, the economy has remained mostly dismal for well over two years. Deficits, joblessness, fuel prices, average GDP growth, and housing are far worse than the average during the eight ...

Washington (CNN) – President Barack Obama's performance on national security and international affairs and his image as a strong leader appear to be behind his rising approval rating, according to new national poll conducted as the president was on an overseas visit to four countries. Full results (pdf) A CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Monday indicates that Obama's approval rating among Americans stands at 54 percent, with 45 percent saying they disapprove of the job he's doing as president. Obama's approval rating appears to have steadily risen in the past two months, from 48 percent in early April to 52 percent in early May and the current mark ...
Gates Puts Pay Cuts on the Table

Under pressure to reduce the DoD budget, Defense Secretary Robert Gates has – until recently – avoided asking for a reduction in military pay and benefits. However, the Wall Street Journal has reported that increasing pressure on lawmakers to make bigger cuts in the federal deficit has convinced defense budget planners that Congress is willing to look at cutting military compensation. Since the beginning of his term as Sec Def, Gates has avoided asking for military pay freezes or reductions. He has instead sought ...
GOP govs move ahead on health exchanges

A small but growing number of prominent, Republican governors — including Mitch Daniels and Haley Barbour — are taking the lead to shape a key component of the health care overhaul their party fought so hard to kill. It’s a delicate balancing act for Republicans who, on the one hand, oppose federal health reform, even challenging its constitutionality in federal court, and, on the other hand, are pragmatically trying to control as much of the implementation process as they can. In Indiana, Gov. Mitch Daniels issued an executive order that allowed the state to become one of just three to receive a multimillion dollar grant to establish a health exchange, the online insurance ...

Herman Cain: Barack Obama Is Not a Patriot (He's a POS)

Presidential candidate Herman Cain is unafraid to speak his mind, and did so on May 23: Throughout a Monday interview with Hotline On Call, Cain bashed Obama and his policies. When asked about Obama as a man, he complimented his family life. But when asked whether the president was a patriot, Cain hesitated. After asking for a definition (a man who is working to do what he sees as right for his country), he simply said “no.” Cain is a reasonable man, and made a reasonable assertion based on the available evidence. Rush Limbaugh didn’t intend to do so, but that same day, he essentially recited a nearly comprehensive list of the ways Barack Obama has not acted as a patriot ...

Everything’s Bigger in Texas – Including Job Growth Posted May 27th, 2011 at 10:30am in Enterprise and Free Markets The private sector is where its at; less bureaucracy, more opportunity to advance and the ability to create and maintain jobs even in the midst of a recession. It certainly kept Texas on its feet and winning the jobs race by a landslide in the past decade. According to a new study from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Lonestar state added 732,000 private sector jobs in the past 10 years, while no other state added more than 100,000. In fact, only 19 states plus the District of Columbia added any jobs at all! What does Texas know that California and Michigan ...
Banners commemorate service, sacrifice of military personnel

SPRING LAKE - In high school, Crystal Hagler never cared much for home economics classes. She was much more likely to out-swim, out-dive or outrun the boys in her class than sew a set of potholders. She still can't cook. But for the past two months, Hagler has found herself routinely staying up until 3 or 4 in the morning, bent over a sewing machine or carefully cutting and piecing together strips of fabric. Hagler, a 35-year-old Army wife and a mother of four, makes handcrafted, personalized service banners that commemorate the service - and the sacrifice - of American military personnel. Manufacture of the red, white and blue banners is regulated by the U.S. Army Institute of ...

Alan Kimble Fahey wants to turn part of Phonehenge West, named for his career as a phone service technician, into a museum, and another into a library and gift shop. He also has plans for a crafts workshop for disabled children. But Los Angeles County wants it torn down for code violations. (Genaro Molina / Los Angeles Times) Bargain land and wide-open spaces drew Alan Kimble Fahey to Acton. A modest ranch house on a desert lot offered the outpost he sought. But then Fahey wanted to expand. So he began to build. And build. And build. Fahey built a barn and moved in. He traded his motorcycle for a trailer and painted it to look like a rail car. He bartered other possessions for a ...

George S. Patton, America's greatest combat general of the Second World War, was assassinated after the conflict with the connivance of US leaders, according to a new book. 'We've got a terrible situation with this great patriot, he's out of control and we must save him from himself'. The OSS head General did not trust Patton The newly unearthed diaries of a colourful assassin for the wartime Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the forerunner of the CIA, reveal that American spy chiefs wanted Patton dead because he was threatening to expose allied collusion with the Russians that cost American lives. The death of General Patton in December 1945, is one of the ...
Mysterious fund allows Congress to spend freely, despite earmark ban

Washington (CNN) -- The defense bill that just passed the House of Representatives includes a back-door fund that lets individual members of Congress funnel millions of dollars into projects of their choosing. This is happening despite a congressional ban on earmarks -- special, discretionary spending that has funded Congress' pet projects back home in years past, but now has fallen out of favor among budget- conscious deficit hawks. Under the cloak of a mysteriously-named "Mission Force Enhancement Transfer Fund," Congress has been squirreling away money -- like $9 million for "future undersea capabilities development," $19 million for "Navy ship preliminary ...

Revolutionary poet and musician Gil Scott-Heron, best known for his 1970 work "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised," died May 27th at a New York City hospital. The exact cause of death is currently unknown, though he had been battling a severe drug addiction and other health problems for years. He was 62. Many hip-hop artists cite Scott-Heron as one of the forefathers of the genre, but Scott-Heron refused to take any credit. "I just think they made a mistake," he told The New Yorker last year. He also feels that people misinterpreted "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" – a biting, spoken-work screed against the mass media and consumerist culture. ...

Shale Boom in Texas Could Increase U.S. Oil Output Michael Stravato for The New York Times CATARINA, Tex. — Until last year, the 17-mile stretch of road between this forsaken South Texas village and the county seat of Carrizo Springs was a patchwork of derelict gasoline stations and rusting warehouses. Now the region is in the hottest new oil play in the country, with giant oil terminals and sprawling RV parks replacing fields of mesquite. More than a dozen companies plan to drill up to 3,000 wells around here in the next 12 months. The Texas field, known as the Eagle Ford, is just one of about 20 new onshore oil fields that advocates say could collectively increase the ...

Tom Graves (R-Ga.) is questioning President Obama's use of an autopen in signing an extension of the Patriot Act.In a letter Friday, Graves asks Obama to confirm that he saw the law prior to its autopen signing."Mr. President, I write to request your confirmation that S. 990, as passed by Congress, was presented to you prior to the autopen signing, as well as a detailed, written explanation of your Constitutional authority to assign a surrogate the responsibility of signing bills passed into law," Graves wrote. Obama signed the bill into law late Thursday night. The autopen was used because the ...

Democrats: Republicans Support a Black Man Because They Hate Black Men

Republicans like Herman Cain? That's racist! Talk about damned if you do, damned if you don't! The left regularly claims that racism explains Republican opposition to Barack Obama. But let Republicans support a black candidate, and--guess what?--race is behind that too! On Cenk Uygur's MSNBC show yesterday, Richard Eskow, of the left-wing Campaign For America's Future, claimed that there is "an element of race" behind Herman Cain's popularity in GOP primary polls. RICHARD ESKOW: He has a very impressive career, as Matt [Lewis of the Daily Caller] was saying, but in a completely different field. You know, Ted Nugent made a lot of hit records, and I'm sure ...

Businessman Herman Cain continues to expand his lead among Iowa conservatives and gain voter confidence that he can actually win, according to a new poll of Iowa conservatives. Meanwhile, Tim Pawlenty’s recent announcement that he is entering the presidential race has moved him to third place with 13.5% support. The poll, conducted by the 2012 Iowa Report, exclusively surveyed Iowa conservatives through May 24. Cain’s support grew from 29.8% to 35.9% and leaves him with more than double the support among Iowa conservatives than any other presidential contender. Cain is also gaining voter confidence with more than one-in-five likely caucus goers (22.4%) now saying he will ...

It's imperative that we connect with our founders, our patriots, our challenges and victories to clearly see our way forward.

We'll celebrate the good things that bring Americans together; those things that will give us the needed strength to meet the heady challenges ahead. I’ve said many times that ...

Until yesterday, media managers at the Democratic National Committee barely issued an official word about Herman Cain: They were too focused on other GOP presidential hopefuls, like Tim Pawlenty, Mitt Romney, Jon Huntsman and Newt Gingrich. Last week, the DNC issued more than 25 media alerts attacking GOP frontrunners and not one mentioned Cain. Then, Cain praised the Paul Ryan budget on “Fox and Friends.” “I support Ryan’s plan one hundred percent,” Cain said.”We don’t need to come up with another plan.” The DNC just couldn’t have that: The DNC took issue with his comments and sent out a round up of criticism on the GOP’s budget plan, ...
