, Berlin 10:11PM GMT 12 Dec 2010 Helmut Seifert, 47, an ethnic German originally from Russia, was enraged when he heard his 17-year-old daughter was having a relationship with Phillip Genscher, 57. He went to police in the town of Bielefeld where he lives but officers said they were powerless to intervene. "The man then recruited two work colleagues at his factory and then went to the house of the victim," said police. "The man was forced to remove his trousers and, fully conscious, he was castrated. The severed testicles were taken away by the perpetrator." The man was close to bleeding to death but managed to call police. His life was saved but he remains a eunuch ...

For someone they claim is "clueless," the Obama lapdog media is just obsessed over every move Sarah Palin makes. She was in Haiti over the weekend, as the guest of the Rev. Franklin Graham, to look at the humanitarian crisis there in the aftermath of the earthquake. However, the media went to work trying to create some kind of "scandal." As reported by Kristinn at FreeRepublic. -- The Associated Press transmitted a photo from Haiti of Palin captioned, "Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, center, has her hair done during a visit to a cholera treatment center set up by the NGO Samaritan's Purse in Cabaret, Haiti, Saturday Dec. 11, 2010. Palin arrived Saturday in ...

Obesity Epidemic Comes to an Army Near You When even the military cannot be characterized as Spartan, what is there to say of broader society? US soldiers are going to extremes -- taking diet pills and laxatives, even starving themselves and getting liposuction -- in order to meet the military’s weight standards, the Army Times reported Monday. More than a third of uniformed men and women do not meet the Army’s weight standards, according to a 2009 military fitness report, and those officers are subjected to dreaded tape measurements to determine body fat percentage. A recent report explained that 25% are not even eligible to serve enlist to being out-of-shape and obese. The ...

Last week I wrote about the shocking Wikileaks cable that revealed the fact that Barack Obama is white. Since I published that article I received thousands of emails from people complaining. If you are a retarded politically correct thug you’re probably assuming people said the Wikileaks cable was racist. Well, you’re wrong. What they complained about was the lack of evidence to support the claim. As a result of this I have decided to prove once and for all that Obama is white. . Black people smoke crack. Obama smokes cigarettes. The drug of choice among black people is crack. The craze began in the early 80’s. Cocaine in powder form was converted into a solid substance ...

Tweet Skeptics who continue to assert that the economic plight of the United States has been overstated need not look further than the Pentagon to find out just how wrong they are. CNBC has learned that the Pentagon is currently playing out “war games” pertinent to an American economic meltdown. According to CNBC, “The Pentagon is planning for real economic threats to America.” CNBC’s Business News analyst Eamon Javers explains: Ever since the crash of 2008, the Defense Intelligence establishment has really been paying a lot of attention to global markets and how they could serve as a threat to U.S. National security interests.

(12-11) 10:40 PST Owensboro, Ky. (AP) -- A Kentucky man has pleaded guilty to making bombs, claiming he feared the end of the world after watching the movie "2012." The Courier-Journal reports that James Byron Birkhead told federal agents he was making bombs to protect his family when the government fails and food riots occur. Agent Kevin Kelm, with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, says police were called to Birkhead's home when a social worker sent to check on the well-being of Birkhead's daughters heard that he was acquiring weapons. On Thursday, the 52-year-old pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Owensboro to possessing and manufacturing ...

ABBOTSFORD -- This small city is getting a lot of media attention. But Abbotsford residents say it's not welcome attention. A sign reading, "No Negro's Allowed!!" has returned to a storefront window, 209 N. First Street, located downtown next to the public library and City Hall.

I've been busy with other things," said Prior, alluding to the interviews he has done with media after he was asked to remove the racist sign last week. Television stations from St. ...

After suffering a major legal setback in the summer, Arizona regained its footing in court Friday when a federal judge dismissed parts of the U.S. Justice Department's challenge to the state's new immigration law and rejected several claims made by Hispanic activists and Phoenix police officers. U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton's ruling on Friday struck down the federal government's challenge to the portion of the law that prohibits the transport of illegal immigrants. It also rejected a challenge from Phoenix police officers and an advocacy group called Chicanos Por La Causa who argued that the cops could be sued for racial profiling if they enforced the law or lose their ...

Envoy Richard Holbrooke in Critical Condition Post-Surgery WASHINGTON (AP) - The State Department says Richard Holbrooke, the president's special envoy for Afghanistan and Pakistan, is in critical condition at a Washington hospital after surgery to repair a tear in his aorta. Department spokesman P.J. Crowley says the surgery at George Washington University Hospital was completed Saturday morning on the 69-year-old Holbrooke and that his family is with him. Holbrooke was named to his post by President Barack Obama early in his administration. The veteran diplomat is perhaps best known for helping broker the 1995 agreement that ended the war in Bosnia.

Hawaii is on the verge of becoming an international test market for hydrogen cars, based on an agreement signed Wednesday by General Motors, The Gas Co. in Hawaii, branches of the military, and federal, state and private parties. The goal is to begin rolling out a fleet of as many as 10,000 hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles on Oahu beginning in 2015 that will be supported by an estimated 20 to 25 fueling stations. The move would mark the first major commercialization of hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles. GM hopes to export the model to other states and countries. GM officials anticipate that the price point of the zero-emission cars, which run 300 miles before needing to refuel, will rival that of ...

Madoff Son Found Dead in NYC in Apparent Suicide COLLEEN LONG, Associated Press NEW YORK – The eldest son of disgraced financier Bernard Madoff hanged himself by a dog leash in his apartment Saturday after two years of "unrelenting pressure" following his father's arrest in a multibillion-dollar fraud that enveloped the entire family, law enforcement officials and a family attorney said.

JUNEAU, Alaska — A judge on Friday ruled against Republican Joe Miller's lawsuit challenging how Alaska counted write-in votes for rival Lisa Murkowski in their Senate race, delivering another setback to the tea party-backed candidate in his longshot legal fight. Judge William Carey's ruling is virtually certain to be appealed to the state Supreme Court, and he said his decision wouldn't take effect until Tuesday to give Miller time to do so. A Miller spokesman said a statement was forthcoming. The ruling marks a victory for Murkowski in her historic write-in Senate bid. Senators are scheduled to be sworn in Jan. 5, and the legal dispute has thrown into doubt whether ...

Will tea partiers protest the $858 billion tax deal? [Full Thread]

During the election season, tea party activists declared deficit-reduction one of their primary goals. The nation is swimming in red ink, they noted, posing a huge burden for generations to come. So I’m waiting for those tea party activists to mount a huge protest over the tax deal between President Obama and Republicans. It is expected to cost $858 billion over ten years. Where’s that tea party protest? Are they headed to Washington to denounce the deal, as they did repeatedly with the health care plan — which will lower the deficit over ten years? Yes, there are other things in the deal besides tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans. But extending the tax cuts for all ...

Conservatives Peeved After GOP Taps 'Prince of Pork' to Lead Spending Committee

Republicans who captured the House last month in part on the strength of a promise to rein in government spending have tapped a veteran lawmaker known as the "prince of pork" to head the powerful House Appropriations Committee. And the decision's not sitting so well among some conservatives. Rep. Harold "Hal" Rogers, who earned the "pork" nickname by steering hundreds of millions of federal dollars to projects in his rural district in Kentucky over a 30-year career in Congress, will chair the 60- member Appropriations Committee, the panel responsible for disbursing more than $1 trillion in non- entitlement-program dollars every year. Rogers beat two other ...
Death Tax Deal Breaker?

Conservative opponents of the tax deal argue that it's better to start over in January with a new GOP House majority. -------- One reason for the House Democratic revolt against the tax deal is the 35% death tax provision. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has said that the liberal caucus, which is interchangeable with the Democratic caucus, wants a 45% or 55% rate. Meanwhile, conservatives are rebelling against the tax compromise for the opposite reason. They want a much lower rate, and some are insisting on total abolition. The American Family Business Institute, a leading opponent of the estate tax, said Wednesday that a rate of 35% is unacceptable. According to the group's ...

Jon Stewart last night was aghast over Senate Republicans blocking the 9/11 responders bill, part of the GOP's vow to block all legislation until the Bush-era tax cuts deal is passed. "You couldn't even get 60 senators to agree to vote on the 9/11 responders bill, because the top 2 percent of Americans haven't officially received their engraved notifications that their taxes won't go up 4 percent?" Stewart asked. "That's the principled pledge you want to stand by? 'Bros before heroes?' " Stewart concluded by saying it's a good thing rescue workers don't follow parliamentary procedure, requiring a vote before saving someone's ...
GOP gets queasy over earmark ban

After agreeing to kill earmarks, some of the most conservative GOP lawmakers are already starting to ask themselves: What have we done? Indeed, many Republicans are now worried that the bridges in their districts won’t be fixed, the tariff relief to the local chemical company isn’t coming and the water systems might not be built without a little direction from Congress. So some Republicans are discussing exemptions to the earmark ban, allowing transportation, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and water projects. While transportation earmarks are probably the most notorious — think “Bridge to Nowhere” — there is talk about tweaking the very definition of ...

House Speaker-elect John Boehner announced Thursday that he hired the medical device industry’s chief lobbyist as his policy director, adding to a growing number of Republican lawmakers who have recruited top aides from K Street. Brett Loper, senior executive vice president at the Advanced Medical Technology Association, was deeply involved in the health care debate and fought against the fees Democrats ultimately assessed the industry to help pay for reform. “I'm very pleased Brett will be joining our team,” Boehner said in a statement. “There are few people who are better equipped to help our new majority change the way the House works and advance a new governing ...
Sarah Palin Makes Liberals Act Like Weirdos [Full Thread]

For some odd reason, Sarah Palin causes liberal elites to rabidly foam at the mouth. Professor William Jacobson of the blog Legal Insurrection wrote an insightful piece about how conservatives seem to reflexively defend Palin, because liberals seem to be perpetually attacking her. Furthermore, not only do liberals seem to revel in finding weird reasons to attack Sarah Palin, but they also seem to only be happy when they are attacking her family as well (probably because they see them as little “spawns of Sarah”). Now, why is this? I haven’t a clue. However, I can state beyond a reasonable doubt that it’s not helping them. For example, a couple of days ago, comediennes ...

9/11 health bill fails first test, Senate Republicans filibuster measure in 57-42 vote

WASHINGTON - The 9/11 health bill failed its first key Senate test Thursday as Republicans filibustered the measure that would aid ailing heroes sickened in the worst terror attack in American history. It went down 57-42 on a strictly party-line vote, although Majority Leader Harry Reid ultimately voted 'No' to reserve the right to bring the measure back. The vote means the GOP has blocked the start of debate on the bill. Even some Republicans who might have backed the measure gave it the thumbs-down, sticking to a party pledge to block anything until the tax deal extending the Bush-era cuts for the wealthy passes. There are still some strategies the bill's backers can try to ...

It seems President Obama's deal with Republicans on tax cuts has done something few may have thought possible: united the most progressive wing of the Democratic party with the most conservative of the Republicans. In an email dispatched just minutes ago, the national office of Tea Party Patriots -- the largest umbrella for grassroots tea party groups in the country -- is calling on its millions of members to bombard Republicans on Capitol Hill with pleas to shut down the tax cut deal which House Democrats rejected earlier today.
