You can read the first three parts here, here, and here.
You can read the latest about her corruption scandal here. Maybe this story is finally going to pick up some speed, but I doubt it. If she was a Republican she would already have been forced to resign from the senate not just her sub committee amid the outcry of the Democrats and the so called Republican culture of corruption. But she is a Democrat so she would never knowingly funnel millions of dollars to her husbands company.
YEAHHH RIIIIIGHT.
Excerpts from the article:
If the inferences finally coming out about what she did while on Milcon prove true, she may be on the way to morphing from a respected senior Democrat into another poster child for congressional corruption.
A Democrat as the poster child of the culture of corruption? They will never let this happen, she will somehow be turned into a victim. Democrats are above this type of behavior. Aren’t they?
it appears Sen. Feinstein was up to her ears in the same sort of shenanigans that landed California Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham (R) in the slammer. Indeed, it may be that the primary difference between the two is basically that Cunningham was a minor leaguer and a lot dumber than his state’s senior senator.
Putting her in the same category as Duke Cunningham, this may not turn out well for Sen. Feinstein, it’s time to open up a senate hearing. After all we need to have checks and balances don’t we. Unfortunately the senate will be wasting too much time with hearings on Condy which will yield no new information as she has already answered all the questions.
Melanie Sloan, the executive director of Citizens for Responsible Ethics in Washington, or CREW, usually focuses on the ethical lapses of Republicans and conservatives, but even she is appalled at the way Sen. Feinstein has abused her position. Sloan told a California reporter earlier this month that while”there are a number of members of Congress with conflicts of interest … because of the amount of money involved, Feinstein’s conflict of interest is an order of magnitude greater than those conflicts.”
Maybe this story does have legs after all. I just want her to be held to the same standards as Republicans, is that to much to ask? I don’t think so.
I have been reading the papers and watching the news, this story has been suspiciously absent.
You can read about it here.
His death has not yet been confirmed, let’s just hope this is true. It appears as though he was either killed during an internal struggle in Al-Qaeda or another insurgent group. This could be a sign that the surge is working and Al-Qaeda is conflicted on how to continue fighting.
This story is just developing, stay tuned…
Adolph Hitler Dead 62 Years ago Today
April 30th 1945, Adolph Hitler commits suicide by taking cyanide capsules and shooting himself. Several days later Germany gave it’s unconditional surrender.
What led to his self-afflicted demise? The tenacity of alliance soldiers and the will and resolve of the American and British people. One can only wonder what would have happened in today’s world if Hitler was now threatening the world. We had patriotic Americans who were able to see the bigger picture, they were not as self-centered as most American are today. They realised we were fighting for the greater good.
Today Adolph Hitler would just have to wait it out and when America gave him her timetable for withdrawal he could then formulate his next move. Saddam was every bit the madman that Hitler was and the world will be a much better place without him.
Americans are much weaker today and they don’t have the resolve to carry a war out to conclusion. This began with the Vietnam war and the hippies during the summer of love. They were the first, I believe, to really put themselves above everyone else. Do what feels good, not what is good. America has become weaker and weaker ever since that year. Somewhere Kennedy is frowning, what happened to ” ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.”?
There is no war America can’t win when she uses all her might, unfortunately we are trying to fight a politically correct war, not an over the top aggressive war. Why? Because we were trying to satisfy the American people’s conscience at the same time as we are trying to defeat the enemy.
Thank God Hitler was born in 1889 and not in 1949.
I wasn’t going to post about this originally, but I just found it too irresistible.
Women in France are able to have their hymen re-sewn which I guess qualifies her as a virgin again. The article refers to an increasing number of North African woman who are having this procedure. North African being code for Muslim women.
This 30-minute outpatient procedure, called “hymenoplasty” and costing between 1,500 and 3,000 euros ($2,000-$4,000), is increasingly popular among young women of North African descent in France.
“Many of my patients are caught between two worlds,” said Abecassis. They have had sex already but are expected to be virgins at marriage according to a custom that he called “cultural and traditional, with enormous family pressure”.
So this procedure removes the effect but it doesn’t remove the cause. Does this really change anything? Does this really change the past? I don’t think so. Are they just trying to fool their soon to be spouse or do they let them know they had this procedure?
A leading Muslim spokesman said Islam says bride and groom should be virgins before marriage, but did not take a clear stand for or against hymenoplasties.
What if the groom isn’t a virgin? What surgery can be done for him?
John Travolta’s Global Warming Hypocrisy
Here is another example of a celebrity who says do as I say not as I do. This is one of the most egregious examples yet. John Travolta even admits he shouldn’t be lecturing people about their lifestyles because of his lifestyle, but then he does it anyway.
“I’m probably not the best candidate to ask about global warming because I fly jets.
“I use them as a business tool though, as others do. I think it’s part of this industry – otherwise I couldn’t be here doing this and I wouldn’t be here now.”
There you have it, because he is a movie star it makes it okay to fly one of the five private jets he owns. He needs to make promotions, so that makes it okay. He says it’s part of the movie industry, I guess that makes it okay to have a carbon footprint that is 100 times the average person.
Clocking up at least 30,000 flying miles in the past 12 months means he has produced an estimated 800 tons of carbon emissions – nearly 100 times the average Briton’s tally.
Why does anyone take these people seriously? They want us to make sacrifices in our lives but are not willing to make their own sacrifices.
“It [global warming] is a very valid issue,” Travolta declared. “I’m wondering if we need to think about other planets and dome cities.
Other planets or dome cities? These people have lost their minds, although it would be a relief to find another planet that all these global warming alarmists could go to and leave the normal people alone.
This can’t be good for Sen. Clinton, this is one of the left’s own turning against her. It probably can’t be good for Bernstein either as we know what happens to people who turn on the Clintons.
From the article:
“Bernstein reaches conclusions that stand in opposition to what Senator Clinton has said in the past and has written in the past,” said Paul Bogaards, a spokesman for Knopf, which publishes the book on June 19.
With the thoroughness for which he is famous, Bernstein spoke to more than 200 of Clinton’s friends, colleagues and adversaries. He stops short of accusing the New York senator of blatantly lying about her past, but has unearthed examples of where she has played fast and loose with the facts about her “personal and political life”, according to Knopf.
The book could revive the explosive charge, made earlier this year by David Geffen, a former Clinton donor and Hollywood mogul, that “the Clintons lie with such ease, it’s troubling”.
Just remember what George Costanza said to Jerry Seinfeld when Jerry needed to pass a lie detector test, ” it’s not a lie if you believe it.” She has been lying so long she doesn’t even realize it any more.
Bernstein has been delving through Blair’s copious records of the 1992 presidential election campaign, which could offer tantalising insight into Bill Clinton’s war machine and Hillary’s reaction to news of her husband’s dalliance with the nightclub singer Gennifer Flowers in Arkansas.
Hillary denied all knowledge of the affair, but one writer who has followed her career closely said: “She always knew about her.” He added: “Anyone who has approached the subject of Hillary Clinton with a clear eye will run across many examples of stories that are not true.”
Hillary and Bill’s marriage has always been a professional marriage, a marriage of convenience. Does it really come as a surprise that Hillary knew about Bill’s indiscretions? While that is their private life and really of no concern to us, doesn’t it show a real lack of judgement putting her political ambitions above her family life?
Clinton’s relationship with the truth has frequently come under scrutiny. William Safire, a conservative columnist in The New York Times, provoked a storm in the 1990s when he accused the first lady of being a “congenital liar”.
Bernstein’s biography is likely to touch some raw nerves. One writer who has crossed swords with Clinton advises Bernstein to watch his back. “She has the most powerful war machine that has ever been developed and it is led by people who have been to hell and back.”
As I said, Bernstein better be careful here, thing happen around the Clintons.
There is a good article about this at thatpoliticalblog.com with a link to some remarkable Hillary Clinton quotes.
John Murtha says the Democrats should consider impeaching the president for keeping the American people safe. Most rational people including many elected Democrats know that impeachment should not be considered. Murtha is simply trying to score political points for his party with this rhetoric. I find it despicable the way they are playing games with the war and the soldier’s lives.
From the article:
“They say we’re willing to compromise, and then we don’t get any compromise,” said Murtha. “We’ve already compromised. And we need to make this president understand, Mr. President, the public has spoken.”
What have the Democrats compromised? Not cutting off war funding altogether? If they really believed what they are saying they would cut funding and end the war immediately. The only thing the Democrats have compromised is the safety of our troops, the safety of the American people, and their principles and integrity.
Sen. Sam Brownback (Kan.), a Republican presidential candidate, responded: “This is assured defeat. Defeat will happen in America, not in Iraq. That’s not what the American people want.”
Well said, we are losing the war but it’s in America where we are losing, not in Iraq.
Editorial Cartoon, Democrats Plan for Victory in Irag
New Hampshire voters, I am calling you out.
Last November New Hampshire voters showed up at the polls and voted in two new United States representatives, Carol Shea-Porter and Paul Hodes. They also voted out many incumbent state legislators and replaced them with Democrats. For the first time in over 100 years Democrats control every branch of the state government.
Many conservatives stayed home to send Republicans a message, and there was also a record number of straight ticket ballots cast.
We now face the possibility of a sales and/or income tax, many new Nanny State regulations such as a cell phone ban in cars, mandatory helmets for motorcycle riding, smoking bans, mandatory seat-belt use, trans fat ban, and even a ban on accidentally releasing helium balloons into the air.
Civil unions have been passed and the governor will sign the bill into law shortly. Polls show most residents are against civil unions.
Now that all these changes are taking place, I read many opinion pieces in the papers who are dismayed at all the changes. Many people write to say that they voted to send a message to the president to end the war, not to vote for radical new social change in New Hampshire. Their words, not mine.
I say, YES YOU DID!
If you wanted to send the president a message about the war,sending new rep’s Shae-Porter and Hodes, which you did, was the right way to do it. But by voting a straight ticket ballot which ousted many conservative people and replaced them with liberals you did vote for these changes. What do the state legislators have to do with the federal government and the war? Nothing. You should never vote on a national issue in a local election.
If you didn’t know where the state legislators stood on these issues( except the helium balloons legislation, nobody saw that coming), and you voted for them anyways, shame on you, many of these issues have been voted on before including civil unions and were voted down by the Republicans.
So now I hear many people asking to let the people vote on civil unions, I say you already did last November when you voted for all these changes in New Hampshire. If you didn’t realize how you were voting, shame on you. If you’re a conservative that stayed home to send the president a message, you have no right to complain, you are a big part of what is happening here. Shame on you.
Naturally the new legislators are going to push their agendas, there is nothing wrong with that. That’s what they were elected to do. If you were so shortsighted or blinded by your hatred for George W Bush that you either voted for everyone from the opposite party, or you just stayed home, I say stop your whining. This is what you voted for.
As Bill Parcels said when he left the Patriots ” if they want you to cook the dinner, the least they could do is let you shop for some of the groceries”. Well New Hampshire, last November you went shopping for the groceries, now it is time to eat your vegetables.
Florida’s house of representatives has okayed a bill that would require a woman to see an ultrasound of her baby and then wait 24 hours before having an abortion.
From the article:
House Republicans who oppose abortion added the waiting period and ultrasound requirements, saying there was nothing wrong with trying to make women think seriously before undergoing such a serious procedure.
I think this is a good idea. Let a woman see her baby before she decides to terminate her pregnancy. Plus a waiting period to ensure she doesn’t make a rash decision. Maybe she will have second thoughts about the procedure.
“It doesn’t do anything to take away women’s right to choose,” said Rep. Kevin Ambler, R-Lutz. “What it does do is put in place a thoughtful and deliberative process to think it through.”
