THE PRESIDENCY

MORE ON OBAMA'S STEM CELL LIES- President Obama continues his drive to shift funds away from science that works, in favor of phoney science, just to satisfy the far left lunatics who want to grow replacement body parts. No amount of tax money Obama can spend can make embryonic stem cells work to cure anything. The proof: seventy-seven treatments for various illnesses have been developed from adult stem cells, but not a single treatment from embryonic stem cells. SEE CHART. Obama moved the funds for political, not practical, reasons.

OBAMA GOT $500,000 FOR WHAT? - While President Obama criticizes AIG employees who took large bonuses, be fails to mention that he grabbed half a million bucks from a publisher just days before he was sworn into office. What was the money for? A children's book that be might write in the future. There is no manuscript. Rich liberals like Obama, Ted Kennedy and Nancy Pelosi are on the side of the poor as long as they can have their huge incomes and large mansions. Read more

OBAMA TELLS CHINA NOT TO WORRY - The Obama administration tried to calm Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao's worries about the huge amount of US debt they hold. Of the $3.2 trillion of US debt in foreign hands, China is the largest holder. The Chinese leader is concerned that Obama's wild spending will cause the value of the dollar to drop, thus hurting Chinese holdings. Read more

THE CONGRESS

CALIFORNIA CONGRESSMAN CLAIMS TO LIVE IN MARYLAND - The salary for a congressman is $162,500 per year plus perks. Despite this kind of pay, Congressman Pete Stark (D-CA) claimed his primary residence as being in Maryland to save just $3,853 in taxes. He is registered to vote in California and has a California driver's license. He is not alone. Congressman Eliot Engel (D-NY) has done the same thing. These are the same guys calling the Wall Street guys crooks. We tossed old fashioned morals out of Congress about the time we tossed prayer out of our schools. Read more

SPEAKER PELOSI SAYS ILLEGALS ARE PATRIOTIC AND BORDER GUARDS ARE ANTI-AMERICAN - Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House and third in line for the presidency, told a group of illegals that existing immigration laws were "un-American. She condemned raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and said the illegal immigrants were "very, very patriotic." This is not made up -- there is a video tape. Read more. See video This may sound bizarre, but then she is also a "Catholic" who says the Pope is wrong on the abortion issue.

SENATOR BLOCKS IRAQI AMBASSADOR - Senator Sam Brownback said he would block Obama's nominee for Ambassador to Iraq, Christopher Hill, because of human rights issues. The Senator said that Hill had promised him in a Senate hearing that he would bring up human rights issues when he was an envoy to North Korea, but he did not do so. In essence, Brownback said that Hill had lied to him. Hill claims that it was former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice who ordered him not to push North Korea on human rights. Read more

CULTURE AND RELIGION

DC AIDS RATE HIGHEST IN THE WORLD - In the shadow of Capitol Hill, at least 3% of the population of Washington, DC have HIV or AIDS. "Our rates are higher than West Africa," said Shannon Hader, the administration's director. "They're on par with Uganda and some parts of Kenya." The public schools are the worst in the nation despite spending more per pupil than any other school district in America. Even so, Democrats in Congress want to force children in private schools back into the corrupt public school system festering with sexual abuse and drugs. Read more

INTERNATIONAL

CAN AN IMAM TELL THE TRUTH? - A Muslim Imam in Australia who constantly talks about "persecution" of Muslims, was caught on film vandalizing his own mosque. After kicking in the door, he called police to report the "vandalism." A video clearly showed four young Muslim men locking the door about ten minutes before the Imam kicked it in. Keep in mind that if anyone other than a Muslim had filed such a false report with the police, they would have been charged with a crime.Read more

YES, SAUDI RELIGIOUS POLICE ARE NUTS - In violation of the Koran which they claim to uphold, the "Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice" invaded an all women's area to grab a woman by the hair and drag her out of the building. The "commission" claims the young woman was seen with an unrelated male in a car parked in a public street. Read more
