The lawsuit alleges that Father Hermy Dave molested the boy for two years, and then engaged in stalking behavior. According to the lawsuit, Father Hermy Dave physically visited and confronted the boy at ...

Sioux City pork plant to close early by Radio Iowa Contributor on April 8, 2010 in Agriculture, Business & Economy A pork processing plant in Sioux City is closing this week — a week-and-a-half earlier than originally announced. More than 1,400 people who work at the John Morrell Plant were told in January that the plant would shut down on April 20th. A spokesperson for Smithfield Foods, which owns the plant, says workers will be paid through the 20th. John Morrell is one of Sioux City’s largest employers and the closure will have a wide ranging impact other businesses, including health care services. Siouxland Community Health Center C.E.O.

The number of people who joined the unemployment lines went up again last week, and that's terrible news for housing. People filed initial unemployment claims at a seasonally-adjusted rate of 460,000 in the week ending April 3. That's an increase of 18,000 from the previous week's revised figure of 442,000. Even the 4-week moving average, which smooths out volatility, was up 2,250, to 450,250 a week, from the previous week's revised average of 448,000, according to the Department of Labor. Economists and experts have their apologies and excuses ready to explain this latest report: The initial unemployment claims data often has its ups and downs, especially in the week ...

Stanley Greenberg and James Carville claim that the Republican Party has peaked too soon. Incredibly, Greenberg says that “when we look back on this, we’re going to say Massachusetts is when 1994 happened.” Stan’s only claim to expertise in the 1994 elections, of course, is that he’s the guy who blew it for the Democrats. Right after that, President Clinton fired both of the flawed consultants and never brought them back again. article-1135603-034A1057000005DC-377_468x286 Their latest pitch is that the highpoint of the GOP advance was the Scott Brown election and that, from here on, things will “improve slightly” for the Democrats. Once again, Carville ...
Returning the Census is Our Constitutional Duty

I’m worried about this year’s census. I’m not worried about ACORN rigging the count – we already succeeded in kicking them out of the census. I’m not worried about the President’s attempt to run the census out of the White House – we beat that power grab back last year. I’m not even worried about privacy – this year’s 10-question census form is the shortest in memory. No, what worries me is blatant misinformation coming from otherwise well-meaning conservatives. They are trying to do the right thing, but instead they are helping big government liberals by discouraging fellow conservatives from filling out their census forms. Early census ...

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Gregory Giusti's 83-year-old mother had not heard that her son had been arrested, but she told ABC7 he has a history of mental problems. She does not think he would be capable of carrying out the threat; he has never owned a gun, and she blames Fox News for getting her son worked up. Giusti was arrested Wednesday afternoon for threatening Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi over recent healthcare legislation. "Greg frequently gets in with a group of people that have really radical ideas and that are not consistent with myself or the rest of the family, which gets him into problems," Eleanor Giusti said. "I say Fox News, or all of those that are ...
Internal Grumbling Over Republican Healthcare Message Intensifies

Republican leaders on Capitol Hill are facing a mini-rebellion against their message on healthcare reform. Every GOP lawmaker rejected the Democrats’ bill last month, but the party is now split on whether to call for a full repeal of the new law. Dozens of Republican lawmakers have signed on to bills that would repeal 100 percent of the health overhaul. The repeal effort on Capitol Hill is led in part by conservative Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) on the House side and Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) in the upper chamber. With Congress back in session next week, King and Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) riled up supporters of an "ObamaCare" repeal at a campaign rally Wednesday ...

Sarah Palin: Michael Steele 'doing a great job' Former Alaska GOP Gov. Sarah Palin said Wednesday night that she fully supports Michael Steele, despite his rocky tenure as chairman of the Republican National Committee. “I think he’s doing a great job,” Palin told Fox News’s Sean Hannity, more than a week after it was first reported that the RNC approved a nearly $2,000 expense to visit a bondage-themed nightclub in West Hollywood. “I'm glad he is the leader of the party,” she said. “I support Michael Steele.” Palin did not directly address the nightclub expense and declared that the Republican Party “machine” is to blame for ...
Arms-Reduction Treaty: Reagan Would Approve

President Obama signed an arms-reduction treaty with Russia's Dmitry Medvedev in Prague Thursday morning. While Reagan’s self-appointed defenders on the right are decrying Obama’s new nuclear plan, his former secretary of State, George Shultz, tells John Avlon he sees a continuity of vision between the two presidents. “I believe we’ve come to the point that we must go at the matter of realistically reducing… if not totally eliminating, nuclear weapons—the threat to the world.” That wasn’t some son-of-a-hippie Obama talking. That was Ronald Wilson Reagan speaking to the New York Post editorial board on March 28, 1982. It was the first of 150 ...

Obama’s Nuke Pronouncement “DANGEROUS,” “Irresponsible,” “Unrealistic” and “Fantasy,” While Administration Shies Away From “Jihad” and “Islam” to Describe Threat Posed By Radical Islamic Jihadism

How’s that Obama economy working out for you? -- Fed’s Bernanke Says Joblessness, Foreclosures Pose Hurdles

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said joblessness, home foreclosures and weak lending to small businesses pose challenges to the economy as it recovers from the worst recession since the 1930s. “We are far from being out of the woods,” Bernanke said today in a speech in Dallas. While the financial crisis has abated and economic growth will probably reduce unemployment over the next year, the U.S. faces hurdles including the lack of a sustained rebound in housing, a “troubled” commercial real estate market and “very weak” hiring, he said. “We have yet to see evidence of a sustained recovery in the housing market,” Bernanke said. ...
Obama blind to Islamic terrorism

Barack Obama's administration has removed religious terms such as "Islamic extremism" and "jihad" from the central document outlining the U.S. national security strategy, but given that we have Islamic terrorist training camps right here in America's back yard, one might question why such willful blindness: At the same time these communities are left to flourish in the US, our troops are fighting Islamic jihadists from all over the world in Afghanistan. All while the man in charge of protecting the country turns a blind eye to the reality that ISLAMIC TERRORISTS and ISLAMIC JIHADISTS exist at all. So let's be clear. Islamic terrorists and jihadists are ...

Last summer, I wrote a column framed as a letter to a young Obama voter. It concluded: "You want policies that will enable you to choose your future. Obama backs policies that would let centralized authorities choose much of your future for you. Is this the hope and change you want?" It seems that some young Obama voters have decided it isn't. The Pew Research Center's poll of the millennial generation, which voted 66 percent to 32 percent for Obama in 2008, found that they identify with Democrats over Republicans by only a 54 to 40 percent margin this year. Perhaps they are coming to realize that the burdens the Obama policies are placing on the private sector economy ...

President Barack Obama's approval rating in Wisconsin dipped to 44 percent in a new poll. That's the lowest of his presidency so far. The St. Norbert College Survey Center found the president's approval rating is down from 50 percent last fall and 60 percent a year ago, shortly after his term began. St. Norbert political science professor Wendy Scattergood says history shows Mr. Obama's falling approval rating shouldn't come as a big surprise. "It's kind of a normal pattern that presidents start out during their first year in their honeymoon period fairly high and then they dip down, so really, considering his been through the big health care battle, he ...

Since taking office on January 20, 2009, President Obama has engaged in one form of incremental surrender and betrayal after another, letting our allies know the United States is not to be trusted to protect them and our enemies know they need only wait for our troops to depart. The latest tiny surrender was Obama’s pledge that the United States will not use nuclear weapons against none-nuclear countries no matter what weapons they choose to use against us. In plain terms, our nuclear weapons may well be the only thing restraining the bad intentions of any number of despots worldwide. It should be noted that Obama’s new policy leaves our strategic nuclear weapons in place, but ...

How can we learn to say no? The federal government is now starting to build the institutions that will try to reduce the soaring growth of health care costs. There will be a group to compare the effectiveness of different treatments, a so-called Medicare innovation center and a Medicare oversight board that can set payment rates. But all these groups will face the same basic problem. Deep down, Americans tend to believe that more care is better care. We recoil from efforts to restrict care. Managed care became loathed in the 1990s. The recent recommendation to reduce breast cancer screening set off a firestorm. On a personal level, anyone who has made a decision about his or her own care ...

President Barack Obama's advisers will remove religious terms such as "Islamic extremism" from the central document outlining the U.S. national security strategy and will use the rewritten document to emphasize that the United States does not view Muslim nations through the lens of terror, counterterrorism officials said. The change is a significant shift in the National Security Strategy, a document that previously outlined the Bush Doctrine of preventative war and currently states: The struggle against militant Islamic radicalism is the great ideological conflict of the early years of the 21st century. The officials described the changes on condition of anonymity because ...
