Washington — Steven Emerson has made his reputation by scrutinizing American Muslim organizations and individuals, trying to uncover their possible ties to terror groups. But lately he is being scrutinized himself, by a Nashville, Tenn., daily newspaper digging into the finances of his operation. LUKEFORD.NETEmerson: ‘All of this was approved by outside legal and accounting experts.’ Now, under pressure to introduce more transparency to his tax-exempt charitable organization, Emerson is attempting to explain how and why the Investigative Project on Terrorism Foundation avoids revealing much of the information that charities are routinely required to disclose. Emerson, it ...

Feb. 18 (Bloomberg) -- In what union leaders say is becoming a national fight, protests against legislation to restrict public employees’ collective-bargaining rights spread from Wisconsin to Ohio. In Madison, Wisconsin, crowds that police estimated at 25,000 engulfed the Capitol and its lawns yesterday during a third-straight day of protests as Democratic senators fled the legislative session. In Columbus, Ohio, about 3,800 state workers, teachers and other public employees came to the statehouse for a committee hearing. President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner, an Ohioan, argued over whether the bills are “an assault on unions.” Ohio firefighters Dave ...

Bodies Stacked 8 Deep At Cemetery UPDATED 02/17/11 6:00 p.m. CHICAGO (CBS) – Cook County sheriff’s officials have found bodies stacked on top of each other – some buried eight at a time — at a south suburban cemetery. As CBS 2’s Susanna Song reports, Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart says Homewood Memorial Gardens, at 600 Ridge Rd. in Homewood, desecrated the bodies of people who couldn’t afford to purchase burial plots. Dart says he is appalled and disgusted about the indigent burials. The bodies were layered as many as eight high before they began decomposing on top of one another.

Deconstructing the Global Warming Fraud

I have been reviewing books for fifty years and have long since lost count of how many books were written to propagate the global warming fraud, nor how many have been written to deconstruct it. That’s how the war of ideas is fought these days, along with documentaries, blogs and websites, conferences, and all the other ways lies are defeated by the truth. From the earliest days the global warming “theory” was proposed I knew that it was a complete hoax. It never made any sense to me that an element of the earth’s atmosphere, carbon dioxide that measured an infinitesimal 0.0389%, could have an effect on the planet’s climate. Just one of the so-called ...

Greenpeace hippies are going to jail, Al Gore gets to inspect the underside of a bus and the Dutch want to glow in the dark. All this explained and a hottie too. You’re welcome. Part One: Hippie of the Week Hippie of the week is Mark Hertsgaard. Hertsgaard is a man who believes his daughter will be very thirsty in the future and happens to have a book to sell, so he turned into Michael Moore lite and hijacked Senator Inhofe with daft questions about global warming. It’s not a fair fight, which is why the full 5 minutes is featured on Inhofe’s YouTube channel but only 2 minutes is on Hertsgaards. Even other warmists cringed at the lame name calling and gotcha videos, and ...
Stunner! Supremes to give eligibility case another look Challenge to Obama getting 2nd conference before court

In a stunning move, the U.S. Supreme Court has scheduled another "conference" on a legal challenge to Barack Obama's eligibility to occupy the Oval Office, but officials there are not answering questions about whether two justices given their jobs by Obama will participate. The court has confirmed that it has distributed a petition for rehearing in the case brought by attorney John Hemenway on behalf of retired Col. Gregory Hollister and it will be the subject of a conference on March 4. It was in January that the court denied, without comment, a request for a hearing on the arguments. But the attorney at the time had submitted a motion for Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena ...
Video: We…really have little idea why our teachers brought us here to protest some dude

There is so much to say about this video. The students, out of school when their teachers ought to be educating them, and clearly undereducated at least as concerns the issue they’re supposed to be protesting. The unions using students to put forward a friendlier, less thuggish face than union protests tend to have. And the union official, who may also be a teacher, evidently lying through his teeth at the end, setting a lovely example for the kids who should be in class.
An Inconvenient Global Warming Prediction … Al Gore Says North Pole Will Be Completely Ice Free in Next Five Years

AN INCONVENIENT NORTH POLE PREDICTION … More prediction pearls of wisdom and “junk science” from the global warming master Al Gore. The “Goracle” predicted in the next five years that the North Pole would be completely ice free. He made this prediction in 2009. Oops. Former Vice President Al Gore references computer modeling to suggest that the north polar ice cap may lose virtually all of its ice within the next seven years. “Some of the models suggest that there is a 75 percent chance that the entire north polar ice cap, during some of the summer months, could be completely ice-free within the next five to seven years,” says Gore.

Meet the face of the new Texas: Jose Villagran, 39, first-generation Mexican American, four kids, suburbanite. Along with thousands of others like him, Villagran was born in Houston to Mexican parents and still works in the city, but he moved his family to this safer, cheaper suburb 14 miles south of Houston. Census data released Thursday show a robust statewide population spurt the past decade — adding more than 4.2 million residents, or 20.6% — attributed primarily to Hispanics such as Villagran, minorities born in urban centers but quickly spreading to suburbs and rural areas across the state. "There are more Mexicans here than ever before," Villagran, a buyer for ...

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- A standout Iowa high school wrestler refused to compete against a girl at the state tournament on Thursday, relinquishing any chance of becoming a champion because he says wrestling a girl would conflict with his religious beliefs. Joel Northrup, a home-schooled sophomore who was 35-4 wrestling for Linn-Mar High School this season, praised his first-round opponent, Cedar Falls freshman Cassy Herkelman, and Ottumwa sophomore Megan Black, who became the first two girls to make the state wrestling tournament in its 85-year history. But in a brief statement issued through his school, Northrup said he defaulted on his match with Herkelman because he doesn't think ...

For a moment, imagine that you are awakened one night by a heavily-armed team of federal agents dressed in all black breaking into your home. As you confront them, they hand you a piece of paper that says that your son has been identified as a "terrorist" and that they are there to take him away. They pull your son out of bed, they throw him on the floor and the use a taser on him repeatedly. Then they handcuff him and haul him away without telling you a thing about where they are taking him. Your son suddenly has no rights because the Patriot Act supersedes the U.S. Constitution. That's right - because your son has been identified as a "terrorist" because of ...

MADISON, Wis. – Authorities say an estimated 25,000 people are protesting anti-union legislation at the Wisconsin state Capitol, and nine demonstrators have been arrested. On the third day of protests, the Statehouse was completely jammed with protesters opposed to a bill that would strip public employees of their collective bargaining rights. The crowd filled the building's hallways, sat cross-legged across the floor and chanted slogans. For the moment, a group of Democratic senators have blocked the bill by refusing to attend a midday vote and leaving the Capitol. The sergeant at arms was looking for them. One member of the group told The Associated Press that they had all ...

SOCIALIST TOOLBAG: MSNBC’s O’Donnell Outrageously Attacks Congressman Who Sleeps in His Office as Tax Evader
What a major douchebag. Do liberals even buy this crap? O'Donnell calls him a tax criminal because the congressman sleeps in his office!
Maybe he should do what DEMOCRAT House Speaker Nancy Pelosi did for 4 years, fly a private jet back and forth to 'San Fran Weirdo' with her posse of drunks costing the taxpayers tens of millions of dollars every year.
OR- Maybe he can do what DEMOCRAT Barney Frank did, run a gay prostitution ring out of his D.C apartment.
OR- He can do what several of Obama's appointees did, people like Tim Geitner. NOT pay his taxes at all!

Environmental Attorney Robert Kennedy: Climate Change Brings Warmer Winters and Less Snow and if You Don't Believe That, You Must Be a Shill for Big Oil

In Virginia, the weather also has changed dramatically. Recently arrived residents in the northern suburbs, accustomed to today's anemic winters, might find it astonishing to learn that there were once ski runs on Ballantrae Hill in McLean, with a rope tow and local ski club. Snow is so scarce today that most Virginia children probably don't own a sled. But neighbors came to our home at Hickory Hill nearly every winter weekend to ride saucers and Flexible Flyers. In those days, I recall my uncle, President Kennedy, standing erect as he rode a toboggan in his top coat, never faltering until he slid into the boxwood at the bottom of the hill. Once, my father, Atty. Gen. Robert ...

Well over 1,000 enthusiastic supporters and opponents of the Senate's proposed collective bargaining overhaul enveloped the Statehouse this morning with cheers of "kill the bill" and "yes on 5," prior to the latest hearing on Senate Bill 5. The spacious Statehouse atrium was packed mostly with public union workers outraged at efforts to end collective bargaining for state workers and significantly weaken the ability for local workers to bargain for their pay, benefits and working conditions. While a strong union presence was witnessed for the bill's first two hearings, they were joined today by more than 200 red-shirt clad tea party activists pushing for the ...

10 Ways Republicans Hide Their Racism
by John Sammon
Sammonsays
Republicans are stupid, but they don't know it, which is one of the reasons the tea party movement of the far right chose as their symbol the Boston Tea Party of the pre-Revolutionary War, a cowardly act of mob vandalism against an unguarded ship carrying British tea in Boston Harbor.
The tea partiers of today never study history, and those few who have never evaluate it. They think the Boston Tea Party was a heroic action.
Some things never change. The colonials of that day were protesting taxes as they do now, but the mob in 1773 dressed as American Indians. Numerous times in American history entire villages ...

Eugene Jarecki interview: HBO documentary explores Reagan's myths, mysteries By Ann Hornaday Washington Post Staff Writer Sunday, February 6, 2011; 9:47 PM The filmmaker Eugene Jarecki was a teenager in Upstate New York when Ronald Reagan was president in the 1980s. Looking back on those years, Jarecki says, it's clear that "already there was a caricature" of the 40th president, "and for a young person that caricature was largely negative." So when Jarecki, now 41, began researching his documentary "Reagan," airing Monday on HBO, his views on the man many of his peers considered an "amiable dunce" underwent a profound transformation.

Is Obama Stupid and Lazy? Although that’s quite a provocative question, evidence is mounting that Obama may not be as intelligent as his supporters and cheerleaders in the media constantly assure us. The reality may be that Obama is mostly a creation of the liberal media. Indeed, the more we dig into his past, the more we find very little substance and discover how a network of liberal professors, law firms, and others, gave him a pass on performance while he pursued his political agenda.

NASHVILLE, Tennessee: Billy Ray Cyrus says the Disney TV show "Hannah Montana" destroyed his family, causing his divorce and sending daughter Miley Cyrus spinning out of control. In a December interview published in the Feb. 22 issue of GQ Magazine, Cyrus said he wished the show that launched his daughter to pop stardom had never happened. "I hate to say it, but yes, I do. Yeah. I'd take it back in a second," Cyrus said. "For my family to be here and just be everybody OK, safe and sound and happy and normal, would have been fantastic. Heck, yeah. I'd erase it all in a second if I could." Cyrus and his wife, Tish, filed for divorce in October. They ...
