The loudest knock on ‘Spooky Dude’s’ Door
 By Judi McLeod

“Why is no one looking into George Soros?” Glenn Beck asked Richard Poe, celebrated co-author of The Shadow Party: How George Soros, Hillary Clinton, and Sixties Radicals Seized Control of the Democratic Party, on GBTV last Wednesday. “Why is this ‘class warfare’ on everybody else except for George Soros?”

“I think I paid a huge price for going after George Soros.  But I ain’t dead,” Beck said, “Quite honestly, I thought that was an option.”


Jewish Roots of the American Way of Life
 By Daniel Wiseman

Back at the turn of the 21st Century, life’s spiritual journey led me to Pittsburgh and Rabbi Yisroel Miller of Congregation Poale Zedeck, which translates from Hebrew to English as the Workers of Righteousness. Rabbi Miller has since exiled himself to Calgary, Canada, for one last adventure, as it happens. What Rabbi Miller told me once, among the many conversations that we had, came to mind recently: “There’s no word for ‘fun’ in the Torah.”


The State of The Union: Big Problems Demand Bold Lies
 By F. Swemson

imageFor the last 5 months or so we’ve been hearing the same thing over and over again from the Obama White House, and we heard it yet again as the central theme of last Tuesday’s State of the Union address. The root cause of all of our problems, and especially our out-of-control national debt, is the fact that the wealthiest Americans are not paying their fair share of our national tax burden.

Listening to it reminds me of the painful screech of a shrill harpie who ran for mayor of NYC in 1997, a socialist named Ruth Messinger, whose entire platform could be summed up by her campaign slogan “Let’s make rich real-estate developers pay their fair share of taxes.” If there’s a class of people more overtaxed than NYC real estate developers, I’m not aware of it. Her platform, of course, was a time honored and proven Democratic party standard, based on one of the oldest of legal principles dating back to the Code of Hammurabi: “Thou shall hate thy landlord”. Fortunately for New Yorkers, they had a strong incumbent named Rudy Giuliani who trounced her quite handily.







Catholic Church Rejects Surrender Terms from Obama
 By Cliff Kincaid

My Catholic priest, Father Larry Swink, delivered a homily on Sunday that I told him would make headlines. In the toughest sermon I have ever heard from a pulpit, he attacked the Obama Administration as evil, even demonic, and warned of religious persecution ahead. What was also newsworthy about the sermon was that he cited The Washington Post in agreement—not on the subject of the Obama Administration being evil, but on the matter of its abridgment of the constitutional right to freedom of religion.


The Masterpiece of our times
 By Judi McLeod

Investigative journalist/‘whistleblower’ par excellence Marinka Peschmann wrote The Whistleblower (One Rock Ink Publishing),  available at Amazon, Barnes & Nobles and in all e-book versions.  The Whistleblower tells the riveting,  fully documented story of “How the Clinton White House Stayed in Power to Reemerge in the Obama White House and on the World Stage”.

The Whistleblower tells in fast-moving chapters the tawdry tale of what happens when someone plumbs the corrupt world of U.S. politics; it’s the quintessential chronicle about how the play always remains the same, with only different players coming by turn before the stage footlights.

The Whistleblower takes the reader out of the security of everyday life and into a world where well-laid plans for silencing whistleblowers and smashing human lives come as easy as a president and his Mrs. removing that evening’s tux and pearls before bedtime.


Our Ozymandias
 By John Burtis

Who would’ve thought when I was a kid that the POTUS, major US Government Agencies, the Democrat Party, major lobbying groups, and many well known scientists and other notorious luminaries would be actively working to turn my glorious country into a 12th century subsistence economy, sans military protection or any real or imagined borders whatsoever, a great wasteland devoid of all machines and internal combustion engines, where home chimneys are cold because burning wood is proscribed, a land where Robin Hood, William Wallace, and Saladin would all feel at home.


Michelle ‘Fancy Pants’
 By Judi McLeod

First Lady Michelle Obama has her unwanted nose in the plates of American children.  The British press has its nose in her lavish lingerie.

Only satin and lace bloomers and such are good enough for Barry’s wife—$50,000 of it in just one shopping spree!


Dumb and Dumber, Watching TV
 By Alan Caruba

I am pretty sure that, in their heyday, the Three Stooges, were looked down upon as low comedy by some folks. To this day, I still do. The truth is, however, even chimpanzees yuck it up when one of their fellow primates falls out of the tree. Since we share a great deal of our DNA in common with them it should come as no surprise that many people tune into “America’s Funniest Home Videos” to watch other people sustain a variety of injuries and humiliations.


Green Energy Not Ready for Prime Time
 By Dr. Ileana Johnson Paugh

G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936), a prolific English writer, said, “The whole world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of Conservatives is to prevent mistakes from being corrected.”

As our President promised to “double down” on renewable energy, in spite of the bankrupted Solyndra, three more green energy companies, recipients of stimulus dollars, have collapsed.


Weaponizing the Passenger Plane
 By Daniel Greenfield

On September 11 the passenger jet as a weapon came crashing into the consciousness of the citizens of the country which had made international air travel viable. Muslim terrorists had viewed planes in terms of the passengers and hijacked planes to take people hostage. But at the beginning of the millennium it was no longer the people that mattered, only the use of the plane as a makeshift missile aimed at the institutions and infrastructure of the free world.

This change of tactics was a game changer because it meant the potential casualties of airplane hijackings were no longer limited to the passengers in the air who were now flying around in ICBM’s with much less explosive payload, but enough to take down skyscrapers and kill thousands of people. Every passenger was no longer just a risk to other passengers, but a risk to everyone in the Empire State Building, the Sears Tower or any other clumping of people in target areas that could be hit.



American Politics, Freedom

A Higher Education Revolution
 By Heritage Foundation

Speaking on Friday at the University of Michigan, President Obama declared, “I want this to be a big, bold, generous country where everybody gets a fair shot, everybody is doing their fair share, everybody is playing by the same set of rules. That’s the America I know. That’s the American I want to keep. That’s the future within our reach.” How did the President propose to achieve his goal? The wrong kind of federal intervention into higher education with the goal of bringing down the cost of attending college.


American Tyrants
 By Daniel Greenfield

When Elizabeth Warren went on MSNBC to deny that she was a member of the 1 percent despite her nearly 15 million dollar net worth, the denial had a cultural element to it. Despite being a millionaire, Warren did not see herself as “wealthy”.


Longing for Sarah or Mike or Marco or Paul
 By Doug Patton

Unless someone drops out before you read this, there are four men left standing in the race for the Republican presidential nomination: Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Ron Paul. One of them will face Barack Obama in November. Who will it be? More important, who should it be?

The Domestic Threats More Dangerous Than Barack Obama!
 By A.J. Cameron

In the first two years of the Obama Presidency, the U. S. citizen was captive to the worst ‘representative’ government since the founding of our republic.  The ultra-Left leaning President conspired with his fellow ‘Satancrat’ serpents in both Houses of Congress to force American citizens to bite ever deeper into the forbidden fruit of Socialism.  Since seizing control of both Houses of Congress in 2006 through 2010, the Democrats cavalierly ignored the Constitution and their oaths of office to the U. S. citizen in ramming through their damning agenda, severely damaging our republic.

After Billions in Federal Bailouts, Now GM Lobbying States for More?
 By Warner Todd Huston

How much bailing out does one company need? (The correct answer is none, of course) After receiving some $50 billion in tax dollars from us courtesy of Obama’s “cash stash,” GM is claiming success with a “Obama claimed that GM was “back on top as the world’s number one automaker.” But true or not, if all is coming up roses for GM, why is the company now lobbying the individual states for mini bailouts?


Free Speech - For Some
 By Frank Gaffney Jr.

According to the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), there is a grave threat to America that must be suppressed at all costs.  The threat is that Lieutenant General William “Jerry” Boykin might be allowed to exercise his constitutionally guaranteed right to free speech.


Right-to-Work Heads to Indiana
 By Heritage Foundation

In 22 states in the Union, workers have the freedom under “Right-to-Work” laws to decide whether or not to pay union dues, and now Indiana is poised to become the twenty-third state on that list, bringing the workers there renewed hope in an economy that has seen few glimmers of light.


Canada
Harper Should Start with MPs if he wants to Reform Canadian Pensions
 By Canadian Taxpayers Federation

It might be understandable if a number of Canadians didn’t appreciate Prime Minister Stephen Harper talking recently about reforming public sector pensions and Old Age Security (OAS) social assistance payments. After all, nobody likes the idea of their retirement plans changing, whether it is by way of a downturn in the market or a change in a government policy.

The Public Discussion of Israel’s Strategy regarding a Nuclear Iran
 By INSS

Comments by former Mossad head Maj. Gen. (ret.) Meir Dagan decrying an Israeli military action against Iran, and reports that the Prime Minister and Defense Minister have already decided to attack Iranian nuclear facilities, have prompted criticism of senior officials who express their opinion on the subject.


Obama Wants a Level Playing Field? Not in Energy Sector
 By Institute for Energy Research

President Obama’s State of the Union address has been analyzed by countless pundits from a variety of angles. In this post I will focus on the extreme contrast between Obama’s rhetoric of a level playing field and giving everybody a “fair shake,” and his policies regarding the energy sector. It’s not unusual for political officials to bend the truth, but when it comes to his energy policies the president has done the exact opposite of what he claims to support.


Dear Cousin Punxsutawney Phil,
 By Dr. Klaus L.E. Kaiser

imageOnce again, mid-winter is near, and it’s time to send you my annual greetings.  Hope you and the family are alright and enjoying life at the edge of the meadow; any more offspring coming along?

Here in Canada, winter has been quite miserable so far; much too cold in some areas and far too warm in others.  Just can’t rely on Mother Nature anymore. What a change from the good old days.  But, as you know, winter ain’t over until the blizzards are replaced by warm spring rains. 

Some climatologists in Germany say it’s getting colder because it’s getting warmer, or perhaps the other way around.  I find it all a bit confusing but am sure it’s very scientific.  In any event, whether warming or cooling, we are eagerly looking forward to a fine spring.


CBS Featured No Pro-Lifers in Photo Essay About Pro-Life Rally
 By Warner Todd Huston

If you want a case of clear bias, the Washington D.C. affiliate of CBS will surely fill the bill for its bias against pro-life supporters. On January 23 the DC affiliate featured on its website a photo slide show of pictures taken at the March for Life rally held annually at the nation’s capitol. Curiously, though, there wasn’t a single photo of any pro-lifers. Instead the photo essay featured only photos of abortion-supporting protestors that stood on the sidelines taunting the pro-life marchers.


Global Cooling? Sun Heading Towards A ‘Grand Minimum’
 By Online

The supposed ‘consensus’ on man-made global warming is facing an inconvenient challenge after the release of new temperature data showing the planet has not warmed for the past 15 years. The figures suggest that we could even be heading for a mini ice age to rival the 70-year temperature drop that saw frost fairs held on the Thames in the 17th Century. Based on readings from more than 30,000 measuring stations, the data was issued last week without fanfare by the Met Office and the University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit. It confirms that the rising trend in world temperatures ended in 1997.—David Rose, Mail on Sunday, 29 January 2012

Farm plants gone wild!

Will Seaweed be the biofuel solution?
 By Dennis Avery

Churchville, VA—Researchers may have broken the biofuel barrier. A new biotech discovery enables ethanol to be made from a common variety of brown seaweed. This would by-pass the biggest problem with corn ethanol and biodiesel—the world’s shortage of cropland. The new ethanol process uses the familiar E coli bacterium working on kombu, a variety of edible brown kelp, which is common in the world’s seas and oceans. It has been grown and harvested commercially by such countries as China, Japan, and Korea for hundreds of years. If you like sushi, it is the brown wrapping on your favorites.
