WASHINGTON (AP) — The nation's blacks are leaving big cities in the Northeast and Midwest at the highest levels in decades, returning to fast-growing states in the once-segregated South in search of better job opportunities and quality of life. The Southern U.S. region— primarily metropolitan areas such as Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Miami and Charlotte, N.C. — accounted for roughly 75% of the population gains among blacks since 2000, up from 65% in the 1990s, according to the latest census estimates. The gains came primarily at the expense of Northern metro areas such as New York and Chicago, which posted their first declines in black population since at least 1980. The ...
Evidence Linking Anthrax To Bruce Ivins 'Not As Definitive As Stated,' Panel Says

The evidence linking anthrax that killed five people in a series of 2001 letters to a flask of the spores in the laboratory of federal scientist Bruce Ivins was not as definitive as the Federal Bureau of Investigation claimed, a panel of researchers said Tuesday. Although the panel gathered by the National Research Council said it had no reason to believe that Ivins was not the perpetrator of the terrorist act, it faulted the FBI's conclusions that the perpetrator must have had a high level of skill to produce the powdered spores and that the spores must have come from Ivins' lab. "We find the scientific evidence to be consistent with their [the FBI's] conclusions, but ...

Michelle Obama to PromoteBreastfeeding as IRS Gives Tax Breaksfor Nursing First lady Michelle Obama will be speaking out to remove barriers to breastfeeding, Politics Daily has learned, throwing the spotlight on nursing as a way to reduce childhood obesity. This comes as the Obama administration in the past year has made several moves to encourage breastfeeding -- including a push for more flexible workplace rules and an Internal Revenue Service ruling on Thursday that breast pumps and other nursing supplies qualify for tax breaks. Mrs. Obama -- who has spoken in public about nursing her youngest daughter, Sasha -- is going to tread carefully in what might be a sensitive area for some ...
Maher: Secular Obama Just Pretending To Be Christian

Usually when someone casts doubts on Obama's professed Christianity, it's accompanied by a claim that the President is actually a secret Muslim. Yet Bill Maher thinks Obama is faking his religion to hide a different secret: his agnosticism. Maher argued that Obama only pretends to be a Christian because it would be political suicide to say otherwise. Similarly, he said that Obama also feigns his opinions about other contentious issues like gay marriage to appear more centrist and thus boost his popularity. "I think he's a centrist the way he's a Christian," Maher said on his program, Real Time. "He's pretending to be a centrist." "His mother ...
S.D. GOP Tries To Legalize Murdering Abortion Docs

"Justifiable" homicide is usually claimed in self defense cases, and in particular home invasions that end up with a dead burglar. You could say it's one of the many things that's big in Texas. But in South Dakota, a group of Republican state legislators have crafted a bill that would expand the legal definition of "justifiable homicide" in a way that's plain and unambiguous: they're trying to legalize the murder of abortion doctors. In House Bill 1171, which cleared committee recently and will go to a full vote by the legislature soon, their redefinition is clear. It states: "Homicide is justifiable if committed by any person while resisting any ...

Should Republicans Fret Over Their Presidential Field?

Republican insiders, reports the Washington Post’s plugged-in Jennifer Rubin, are worried about the quality of their slate of presidential candidates for 2012. Indeed, it has become the conventional wisdom to assert that the Republican field is a fairly weak one. (I’ve also made some off-handed remarks to this effect.) But is there any evidence for this? Or is it just the sort of thing that partisans always tend to complain about at this point in the political cycle? As Ms. Rubin notes, the 1992 Democratic field looked very weak — until the emergence of Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton, who turned out to be one of the better natural politicians of our time. Could we be looking ...

A new poll of New Hampshire voters is the latest in a string of surveys suggesting that if Sarah Palin chooses to run for president, she’ll struggle in the crucial early states. The WMUR Granite State Poll released late Monday afternoon puts Palin close to the basement, trailing not just frontrunner Mitt Romney, but even the little-known former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty. More daunting: She’s viewed unfavorably by a full 50 percent of likely Republican primary voters, compared to the 33 percent who view her favorably. Click for Full Text!

If you don't like blacks there is a way to kill them and not even get punished for it. It is so easy. You don't even have to get any blood on your hands. You will never be prosecuted and you might even be looked at as a hero. Is this some evil plot by the KKK? No it isn't. It is an activity that even our President, a black man will approve of. All that you have to do is make a donation to planned parenthood. They will do your killing for you. Who knows you might even get a tax break.

Seven men, including two American citizens, were charged Monday with selling drugs and weapons in an effort to help the Taliban fight U.S. troops overseas. Posing as representatives of the Taliban, cooperating witnesses for the Drug Enforcement Administration approached the men in Ghana last June, asking to set up a drug relationship, prosecutors said. First, the cooperators asked if they could buy large amounts of cocaine, according to court documents. Then, they asked if the men could set up safe places in West Africa to store heroin on its way from Afghanistan to the United States, Canada and Europe. Terrorism charges were filed against Maroun Saade, Walid Nasir, Francis Sourou ...

HUTTO, Texas — The school superintendent in this rural town outside the state capital has taken steps to trademark the district’s oddly un-Texan school mascot — the Hutto Hippo — in a frantic effort to raise cash. He is also planning to put advertisements on school buses and to let retailers have space on the school Web site. “I’m doing some weird stuff in the district because we are low on money,” the superintendent, Douglas Killian, said, sitting in an office full of Hippo figurines. He added: “We hope to make our hippo as recognizable as Mickey Mouse.” (The mascot was adopted shortly after a hippopotamus escaped from a circus train in 1915 ...
States Aim Ax at Health Cost of Retirement

Governors and mayors facing large deficits have set their sights on a relatively new target — the soaring expense of health benefits for millions of retired state and local workers. As they contend with growing budget deficits and higher pension costs, some mayors are complaining that their outlays for retiree health benefits are rising by 20 percent a year — a result of the wave of retirements of baby boomers and longer life expectancies on top of the double-digit rate of health care inflation. The nation’s governors face a daunting $555 billion in unfunded liabilities to finance retiree health coverage. The Pew Center on the States calculated those long-term obligations ...

The statesman can only wait and listen until he hears the footsteps of God resounding through events; then he must jump up and grasp the hem of His coat, that is all.” Thus Otto von Bismarck, the great Prussian statesman who united Germany and thereby reshaped Europe’s balance of power nearly a century and a half ago. Last week, for the second time in his presidency, Barack Obama heard those footsteps, jumped up to grasp a historic opportunity … and missed it completely. In Bismarck’s case it was not so much God’s coattails he caught as the revolutionary wave of mid-19th-century German nationalism. And he did more than catch it; he managed to surf it in a ...
New poll, same public resistance to cuts

A big obstacle for House Republicans eager to slash the federal budget deficit may be that Republicans nationally tend to shy away from spending cuts in many major government programs. Budget cutting is a top priority for the GOP, with 70 percent of Republicans in a new survey by the Pew Research Center saying the federal government should focus on reducing the deficit, not new economic stimulus. And in many cases, more Republicans now support cuts than did so two years ago. But across 18 areas of federal spending, a majority of Republicans support decreasing spending in just one: aid to the world's needy. In one other area, unemployment assistance, 50 percent of Republicans polled ...

Coast Guard: Oil Cleanup Should Be Scaled Back

(02-11) 17:01 PST NEW ORLEANS, (AP) -- The cleanup of oiled beaches along the Gulf of Mexico has reached a point where crews, heavy equipment and thorough scrubbing can cause more damage to the ecosystem than good, the Coast Guard said Friday. Birds, sea turtles, fish and other species are more likely to be harmed by an aggressive cleanup than by simply leaving remnants of oil and letting it slowly degrade, the Coast Guard said. The report was designed to guide the cleanup of the BP PLC spill from the April 20 Deepwater Horizon rig explosion. There are 4,265 people still involved in the cleanup and response on 544 miles of coast. Recent oil samples show weathered oil found along beaches ...

Wayne Allyn Root shares some very interesting thoughts concerning the tactics and goals being used by Obama. It is difficult to disagree with Wayne’s argument. I also believe, as does Wayne, that a second term for Obama could possibly destroy America beyond redemption. It could take generations to get past the first four years of Hopenchange. Interesting thoughts from the always insightful Wayne Allyn Root:
Could voters be foolish enough to fall for Obama’s new plan to destroy America? A few months ago I played Paul Revere with my commentary “The Real Obama Economic Plan: Purposely Overwhelming the System to Destroy Capitalism.” This commentary, exposing Obama and his Marxist plans, was ...
Global Warming Hysteria: Weather Has Not Grown More Extreme Due to Warming

GWH is really wobbling now. This very cold winter–one expects Hanson to soon proclaim it the hottest year ever–has led to warming alarmists blaming global warming for the arctic blizzards and plunging temperatures. I had been thinking the weather seemed more like the kind the country experienced when I was a kid long before global warming was a fevered glint in Al Gore’s eye. And now, a new study by non Kool Aid drinking scientists–but also not “deniers”–shows that we are not experiencing more severe weather extremes. From a column in the WSJ by Anne Jolis: Some climate alarmists would have us believe that these storms are yet another baleful ...

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Gov. Scott Walker says the Wisconsin National Guard is prepared to respond if there is any unrest among state employees in the wake of his announcement that he wants to take away nearly all collective bargaining rights. Walker said Friday that he hasn't called the Guard into action, but he has briefed them and other state agencies in preparation of any problems. Walker says he has every confidence that state employees will continue to show up for work and do their jobs. But he says he's been working on contingency plans for months just in case they don't. Walker says he's not anticipating any problems. His plan would require higher pension and ...

BEIJING (AP) - China says it is launching a massive well drilling operation to save the crucial wheat crop stricken by the worst drought in decades. The plan to drill 1,350 wells across eight northeastern provinces follows the announcement of plans to spend $1 billion to alleviate the drought. China is the world's largest wheat growing nation. Expected shortages of the crop in China have already pushed up global prices for the commodity. The government's Office of State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters said Friday that as of Thursday afternoon, 17 million acres (6.75 million hectares) of crops had been affected by drought. Nearly 3 million people are short of ...
