Update 2/17/11 6:15pm. Federal Court Orders Obama Administration to Act on Stalled Deepwater Drilling Permits. H/t to Kenny Solomon who assisted with finding some of this info. OK guys. This is tough love time. I can’t put it any other way, things are getting really serious.

The controversial anti-abortion activist and founder of Operation Rescue (every time I go to their website my computer locks up, so no linkie, sorry) has announced his candidacy for POTUS. The Republican-turned-Democrat told me at CPAC his reasoning for the change of party was so not to split the Republican vote. Because he has raised at least $5,000 he will be a “federal” candidate and | Read More »
Talk over the last few weeks as Egyptian riots and now a full-blown revolution takes hold was Mubarak’s “decision” to hit the internet kill-switch and shut it all down: twitter, Facebook, MySpace and all internet. Americans were predictably outraged. After all, here and in many other parts of the world internet and social media networking have become almost a necessity. I hunted down some tweeps | Read More »
Shall I give you the good news first? US District Court Judge Martin Feldman of New Orleans has found the Department of Interior in civil contempt for continuing the Gulf drilling moratorium against his orders. Yes, folks. You heard that correctly. Back in June Judge Feldman had refused, at the Interior Department’s request, to delay the decision’s effects after he earlier struck down the moratorium. | Read More »

McDonough. According to the Times Union McDonough faces 38 counts of forgery and 36 counts of | Read More »
Natural gas is the cleanest-burning and most efficient of all the fossil fuels. Because of the age of the Appalachian Mountains, 480-600 million years old, a wealth of fossil fuels, i.e. coal, oil and natural gas was created by Mother Nature ripe for the picking by this country and probably enough to keep the US fuel-independent for a very long time. Natural gas drilling has | Read More »
This is not going to be a post full of links and facts. I became agitated by a tweet on twitter asserting that Donald Trump was pretty much “full of it” when he declared China could produce a competitive fleet of aircraft to rival Boeing. I’ve been there. China, that is. North, south east and west. From Beijing to Xian to Chongqing to Shanghai to | Read More »

For sometime our religious symbols have been the target of groups such as the ACLU, Americans United for Separation of Church and State and even our own court system. The seven-foot tall, concrete and metal Mojave Desert Cross erected in the middle of the Mojave Desert near Barstow, CA was originally constructed in 1934 by the Veterans of Foreign Wars to honor our fallen heroes. | Read More »

Duncan Hunter (R-El Cajon) sent letters to US AG Holder & Defense Secretary Robert Gates in defense of the memorial. A commanding and dramatic site.

Since the Feds have failed miserably to protect the 389-mile Arizona-Mexico border to keep drug traffickers and illegals from the US, a grass-roots group has proposed citizens take efforts into their own hands and build a wall themselves. The name of the group is The Great Wall of Arizona. I have been in e-mail contact with Mr. David Garretson who is heading up the project, | Read More »
“Saliva samples wanted from 9 Troy Democrats” A CSI episode? A mystery novel? No, this is the latest Dem voter fraud scheme which rivals even the most thought-out voter fraud corruption plan of PA#8. Dems in PA#8 sent out a phony letter from a phony organization and included a pre-paid envelope for voter absentee applications to be mailed to the Dem candidate’s campaign manager’s P.O. | Read More »
Please read my first two posts on this little Civil War chapel which has not only been embroiled in controversy but now the target of arsonists. Post #1: Background of problems begun by the Borough of Gettysburg which forced the chapel to close its doors the same day of its “Remembrance Day” of those who perished on the battlefield of Gettysburg. Post #2: The devastating | Read More »
I first met Erick Brockway on twitter about a year ago. I can’t recall exactly now how we hooked up but that doesn’t matter. Erick works tirelessly at two jobs and also finds time to write and maintain his own personal blog, a blog for California Conservatives and also be a noted diarist for RedState. He was also in the Navy Seabees. Erick retired from | Read More »
Update 12/7/10. I have received the news, as suspected, this fire indeed was caused by arson. Please read the update on my new diary. Please see my previous post, “Gettysburg wants to kick God out of town, threatens historic Civil War chapel” for background.

The following information was obtained via conference call with Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and Director of Bureau of Ocean Energy, Management, Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE) Michael Bromwich. In a stunning reversal of October’s decision allowing deep water offshore exploration in the eastern Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic seaboard, citing safety concerns, “lack of studies” and federal weaknesses in regulation, Secretary Salazar announced he is rescinding | Read More »
Reminiscent of a Dem election fraud scheme in US PA#8, they tried it again. This time in Illinois. I’m sure none of you are surprised, after all this is the home of our “Thief-in-Chief,” “ACORN-Organizer-in-Chief,” Rahm, Blago and all the untold numbers of Dem Dirty Denizens. The video below tells the story: This is the first year any Illinois resident can cast their ballot by | Read More »
Please see my pre-election post here where I mention several of the prominent voter-fraud cases around the country. One of the cases mentioned is one in Daytona Beach, FL. In Florida, it’s suspected absentee ballot fraud — from within a city commissioner’s office. I just did a follow-up look-see, dude, Derrick Henry, has been arrested. Because this is a complicated case I am pulling from the | Read More »
In another stunning lack of conscience on the part of bureaucrats the City of Gettysburg has issued an order for a replica of an historic chapel to be vacated with the intention of it being torn down. The City has given no good reason to the organization who spearheaded and reconstructed the chapel which stands as a reminder to the service it gave to soldiers | Read More »
H/t to Dr. Robert Sklaroff and Civil_Truth for pointing me in the right direction. Just when you think the Dems have thought of it all, another corrupt attempt at scamming the election process enters their heads. This time it involved PA US House #8, Bucks County, just north of Philadelphia. The race between Dem incumbent Patrick Murphy and his GOP contender Mike Fitzpatrick. When the | Read More »
Let’s see how many descriptions I can give to Minnesota SoS Mark Ritchie: corrupt, Soros-funded Secretary of State Project member, perpetrator of voter fraud, conflict of interests, former member of radical party founded by ACORN, SEIU and Democratic Socialists of America; placed clown Al Franken in the US Senate by corrupt means after a supposedly “fair” not recount bid by Norm Coleman, just to name | Read More »
Today Conservatives are basking in the afterglow of major stunning midterm election victories across the nation. Many different kinds of people contributed to these victories: from campaign managers, bloggers, precinct captains, Tea Partiers and phone bankers. The list goes on. However one individual stands out in my mind as being a true hero and American Patriot during this election. Her name is Catherine Engelbrecht, picture | Read More »
