For voters sitting on the fence, John McCain’s appearance last Friday on Conan O’Brien is a worth a look.  Click here (or the pic below) to access the video, wait through the ad for whatever, then move the timer-slide thingy (yeah, I’m hi-tech!) to the 15:00 point and enjoy.  McCain comes across as funny, down-to-earth and worthy of the nation’s trust.

Never thought I’d say this, by the way, having expressed as recently as last fall the inclination to vote for . . . gasp . . . Barack Obama.

The 50,000-strong American Physical Society this week re-opened, then not-so-smoothly tried to shut down, debate over whether evidence for anthropogenic global warming — “Thropo Glo Wo” to conserve syllables — really is “incontrovertible” as the APS has previously claimed.

In the June 2008 edition of APS’ newsletter Physics & Society, the Editor wrote:

There is a considerable presence within the scientific community of people who do not agree with the IPCC conclusion that anthropogenic CO₂ emissions are very likely to be primarily responsible for the global warming that has occurred since the Industrial Revolution.”

The newsletter is posted on the APS website, but the APS quickly tried to hide this all-to-obvious family disagreement, posting the note (above) on its homepage. Funny that the APS would raise the “non-peer-reviewed” status of its own newsletter to refute the easily- and widely-verified assertion that real scientists (as opposed to Al Gore) disagree over how much “thropo” there is in “glo wo.” We’re glad to see this scientific iceberg begin to melt.

Barack Obama’s affiliation with and endorsement by radical Marxists — like Bernadine Dohrn and William Ayers — is well documented in this blog and elsewhere. But some may ask, “What’s the big deal? Why should Americans be concerned by Obama’s willingness to befriend such people and ‘exchange ideas’ with them?” In a word, “inhumanity”.

These are the kind of people who, like Dohrn, laugh with glee at the thought of slicing up a pregnant mother and then sticking a fork in her stomach. Running with this crowd is no different than running with Adolf Hitler or Fidel Castro. No truly decent American would do so. Yet Barack Obama has persistently, actively sought out their support and friendship. In fact, the neo-Marxist New Party — with whom the New Party itself suggests Obama signed a contract in 1995 — played a key role in Mr. Obama’s first Illinois state senate victory.

A CNN interview of three Americans — Keith Stansell, Marc Gonsalves and Thomas Howes — recently rescued after 5 1/2 years as captives to Colombia’s notorious Marxists, the FARC “rebels” — illustrates how little has changed inside the Marxist mind since Bernadine Dohrn cackled with with joy over the Manson murders: [Read more →]

Raila Odinga (pictured, right, with Barack Obama in 2006) has admitted signing a Memorandum of Agreement, on August 29, 2007, with Kenya’s National Muslim Leaders Forum (NAMLEF) promising to share government power in exchange for Muslim support in Kenya’s violently contested 2007 presidential elections. Odinga is a cousin of Barack Obama for whom Obama campaigned in 2006.

On February 24, 2008, I reported that the agreement Odinga signed was this one, in public circulation as early as November 9, 2007, posted on the Evangelical Alliance of Kenya’s website :

Despite NAMLEF and Odinga claims (and Snopes and Truth or Fiction silliness) to the contrary, circumstantial evidence — detailed below — still suggests this may be the agreement that Odinga signed and that a later version, published on November 27, 2007, is a fake. (Notably, Barack Obama’s own “Fact Check” website does not mention the name Odinga. I’ll let readers interpret Obama’s Odinga omission.) [Read more →]

On April 16, 2008, George Stephanopolous pointedly asked Barack Obama to explain his relationship with William Ayers. Obama’s response (see video below) is more revealing than he intended. Most commentators missed this story because they have no training in the science of deception detection.*

A related video (further below - watch out for the f-word!) taken at University of Colorado, shows how little William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn (Obama friends and supporters) have changed since their Weather Underground days. They went to Colorado to defend Ward Churchill, then on the verge of being fired from the Uni. The videographer asks whether Ayers and Dohrn remember Churchill teaching them bomb making. You’d think it would be relatively easy to recall such an event, but they both say in essence, “I don’t recall”. [Read more →]

Schleicher County — some of whose residents and officials were once wagging their tails to invade the FLDS YFZ Ranch in Eldorado — now wants the rest of Texas to pay the price. Fun to see the pain pendulum swinging back at the real perps in this sordid mess.

Judge Johnny Griffin — who according to reports refused to sign the now notorious fraudulent search warrant request later signed by the less scrupulous Judge Barbara Walther — doesn’t think it fair that Schleicher County end up holding the bag:

“We’re asking the state to indemnify our county,” said Schleicher County judge Johnny Griffin. “Not one person from my county was involved, other than the sheriff who received the initial call from the CPS hotline.”

Excuse me?!

Let’s see . . . unless I’m much mistaken, a certain Schleicher County colleague of Johnny Griffin, Judge Barbara  — who is listed on Schleicher’s website as a Schleicher County judge — is one person who could have stopped this entire debacle from happening in the first place. And Walther chose to make a bigger case — by expanding the scope of the fraudulent warrant — than even CPS had imagined it.

Yes, Judge Walther is technically from Tom Green County. But she serves Schleicher County and never (I think) would have got involved in this mess if it hadn’t been for the sensationalistic anti-FLDS reportage by The Eldorado Success, “The Voice of Eldorado and Schleicher County Since 1901,” whose home page this week still features this come-hither banner:

So how is it, Judge Griffin, that “not one person from Schleicher County” was involved? I have a feeling that some of the vendors who made a killing from out-of-town guests outside Walther’s court, on April 17-18, were from Schleicher County. Maybe there’s gold in them thar sage brush. Given Judge Walther’s klepto propensities, you could get her to sign one of those flakey warrants to grab some local assets.

Now, CPS’s costly procedure has been placed on Schleicher County, with a population of less than 2,800, and Griffin says his county has no way of paying for it.

“We started getting these monstrous bills,” he said. “People were charging things to the county that weren’t approved.

I guess we should all shed a tear. Imagine the audacity of those monsters — “charging things to the county that werent’ approved.” Kinda makes illegally busting into people’s homes in the night, running off with their kids for 60 days, and telling them “deal with” their nursing problem seem trivial, doesn’t it?

Where’s a waaaaambulance when you need one?

Texas courts and CPS collaborating to take children from parents? Sounds like conspiracy theory. Evidence? Try this November 2007 Texas Supreme Court Order creating out of thin air — utterly without legislative authority — the Permanent Judicial Commission for Children, Youth and Families.

This Order and recent conduct by various Texas judges, especially Supreme Court Justice Harriet O’Neill, cast doubt on whether the people of Texas can realistically trust the Texas courts to impartially decide child protection cases. The deck is heavily stacked against families and in favor of “child protection” mercenaries who make money grabbing and selling kids or (like Marci Hamilton) traveling the country teaching others how to do it with a minimum of fuss.

The process that created the Commission and its charter reveal the Texas Supreme Court wielding all three fundamental constitutional powers: legislative, executive and judicial. Through the Commission chaired by a Supreme Court Justice (O’Neill), the Court legislates by creating regulations and then implements these regulations throughout the “collaborative” Texas “child protection” system. Later, it rules on child protective cases. In essence, the Court helps mix the CPS pudding, delivers it and announces how good it is.

It should be deeply disturbing to members of the Texas Bar that J. Harriet O’Neill — who ironically signed the Order appointing herself Chair of the Commission (see below) — saw no conflict in sitting in judgment over her collaborative partner, Texas CPS. Why did no one — not even Texas Rio Grande Legal Aid — move for her recusal?* O’Neill’s signature on the Order appears below. Her blindness to such a gross conflict of interest, coupled with the silence of her brethren on the Court, suggests that the Texas judiciary is corrupt at its core. [Read more →]

Ronald Reagan might say, “There you go again!” And CNN does. This afternoon, CNN’s home page (pic below) twists Scott McClellan’s congressional testimony to make it appear as if McClellan is somehow incriminating Vice President Cheney. McClellan said he “doesn’t think the President knew” about the Plame name leak but that, “In terms the [VP - Cheney], I do not know.”

Help me out, here. Aren’t “don’t think” and “don’t know” pretty much the same thing? It would be just a fair to say that McClellan “can’t exonerate” Brad Pitt or Stephen Colbert.  But CNN has its political and entertainment agenda.  Here’s how CNN tries to make this molehill differential into a mountain of intrigue:

Where’s CPS when we really need ‘em? This from Time:

As summer vacation begins, 17 girls at Gloucester High School are expecting babies—more than four times the number of pregnancies the 1,200-student school had last year. Some adults dismissed the statistic as a blip. Others blamed hit movies like Juno and Knocked Up for glamorizing young unwed mothers. But principal Joseph Sullivan knows at least part of the reason . . . [Read more →]

John McCain in Vietnam is a riddle wrapped in enigma. Republicans — especially evangelicals currently under the spell of anti-Romney hysteria — need to examine this part of McCain’s resume very closely before pulling the lever for Mike Huckabee. I think it’s likely that McCain’s “war hero” schtick is a king-sized Catch-Me-If-You-Can bluff. In Vietnam, who was he really? Why has he so ferociously guarded his military and medical records from his days in Hanoi? His behavior since his return is jarringly inconsistent the “war hero” image he’s been selling.

Take a close look at the above photos, circa 1992, of McCain enthusiastically embracing Vietnamese individuals allegedly responsible for torturing McCain and executing men that McCain claims as comrades in arms. Focus on the smiles and hugs [Read more →]
