U.S. Investigates Voting Machines’ Venezuela Ties
By TIM GOLDEN, Published: October 29, 2006 in the New York Times

The federal government is investigating the takeover last year of a leading American manufacturer of electronic voting systems by a small software company that has been linked to the leftist Venezuelan government of President
Hugo Chávez.

The inquiry is focusing on the Venezuelan owners of the software company, the Smartmatic Corporation, and is trying to determine whether the government in Caracas has any control or influence over the firm’s operations, government officials and others familiar with the investigation said.

Teachers brace for strike
Union taps leader of 1989 walkout to aid fight for wage hike, reform
BY NAUSH BOGHOSSIAN, Staff Writer, DailyNews.com

Under mounting pressure for major reforms at Los Angeles schools, the teachers union has brought in its tough former leader to help mobilize members for a strike if its demands are not met.

United Teachers Los Angeles is hiring a former UTLA president, Wayne Johnson, who organized a successful nine-day strike in 1989 and wrangled a 24 percent pay raise over three years. Johnson later served as the hard-nosed president of the California Teachers Association and is now a consultant.

Jerry Brown May Not Meet Legal Qualifications to be Attorney General
Republicans file lawsuit seeking to disqualify Brown as candidate Filing says he's not active member of baR
10-20-2006 Sacramento Bureau of San Francisco Chronicle
-- A lawsuit filed Thursday by two GOP party activists claims Oakland Mayor Jerry Brown's failure to maintain an active membership in the state bar for two of the past five years disqualifies him from holding the office of attorney general.

State law says candidates for attorney general must have been admitted to practice before the California Supreme Court for "at least five years immediately preceding" election. Brown's status with the State Bar was "inactive" from 1997 to 2003, which prevented him not only from practicing law in California but from reaching the five-year minimum, the lawsuit says.

His Corps Value Was Bravery

Chris Adlesperger's family, shocked to learn of his heroics in Iraq, later saw how it all made sense. In death, he's been nominated for the Medal of Honor.

Dispute persists over trees as polluter
Environmentalists & Scientists Still Not Sure...
http://www.bakersfield.com/619/story/73896.html

BY SARAH RUBY, Californian staff writer
Politicians won’t touch it, air regulators hate to admit it and tree advocates would rather not discuss it, but here’s the ugly truth: Plants are a thriving source of air pollution.

Tree emissions dwarf what comes from dairy cows. Dairies are pegged as major polluters, but plants out-emit dairies by more than 30-to-1 statewide. California’s trees release some 2,000 tons of smog-forming gases daily. Dairies produce 60 tons each day.

All of it is harmless until fumes from automobiles and other engines mix in, creating summer smog. Because trees also have benefits, such as sucking up carbon dioxide and providing shade, researchers haven’t figured out whether they are overall good or bad for pollution.

OAKLAND: State Senate leader helps create plan targeting youths in Oakland, Richmond in effort to reduce homicides
By Chris Metinko
CONTRA COSTA TIMES
[NOTE: Oakland Democrat, Mayor Jerry Brown, is now running for Attorney General -- He couldn't fight crime in Oakland and now he wants to take this ineptitude statewide - how does that make any sense?]
The state Senate leader on Monday called for street corner intervention to help curb the rapidly mounting murders in Oakland and Richmond.  "We better start seeing some progress, or I'm going to be very disappointed," Sen. Don Perata, D-Oakland, told the media at the Youth Uprising center in Oakland.

What President Bush could have said to the NAACP
by Michael Zak
http://www.republicanbasics.com/

Addressing the NAACP’s annual meeting, President Bush made good progress in reaching out to African- American voters. The warm reception from the audience must have worried Democrats who consider themselves owners of the African-American vote. Even more important, however, than how the NAACP views the Republican Party is how the Republican Party views itself.

As Republicans embrace their heritage as “the party of Lincoln,” they will understand the true heritage of the Democrats to be “the party of slavery” and “the party of the Confederacy” and the party of the Ku Klux Klan.”

FLASH BACK:

Remember this... Clinton Administration Sec. of State, Madeline "Not-So" Albright toasting Kim Jong Il for agreeing to not test missiles in exchange for the Clinton Administration providing nuclear reactor technology which led to N. Korea now having Nuclear Weapons.  Is Kim Jong Il laughing at Albright?  He is now!  Thanks, Madeline, we prefer Condi in a heartbeat.

 

 

Why Did Terrorists Bomb India?
The recent bombing of trains in India killing 200 or more people was another tragic example of the worldwide war that the Islamo-fascists are waging against free people.  For those that blame America, Israel, Christians, or any of the other usual suspects for the "oppression" of Muslims as the cause of their anger, let's review some inconvenient facts...

India did NOT send any troops to Iraq.  India just voted for a U.N. Human Rights Council resolution to condemn Israel at every meeting.  The Students Islamic Movement of India and Lashkar-e-Taiba (those responsible for these bombings) aimed to kill Hindus and cripple India's financial center.  The goal of Lashkar-e-Taiba (which is allied with Al Qaeda from which it receives financial support) is to establish an Islamic state in India and subjugate the Hindus.  Lashkar-e-Taiba sent a French convert to Islam to Australia to target military bases in Sydney.  Support for Lashkar-e-Taiba is widespread in Pakistan.  Clearly, this is an organization with global reach and sophistication.

Many may not like the facts, but a worldwide network of very committed and very deadly people have declared war on all free people, all people who do not conform to their strict interpretation of Islam.

The time of choosing is upon us.  Do we fight or do we sit by complacently and watch free people in America and beyond  be sacked as the Romans were.

Today's anti-American leftists betray their own radical heritage
 
By Michael Medved
 Tuesday, July 4, 2006

 
 Today's militant leftists not only spread lies about America's present but generate even more damaging distortions about the nation's past and in so doing differentiate themselves from the radical idealists of yesteryear.
  
...This negativity about the past directly threatens the nation's future: spreading the idea among the younger generation that the entire American project isn't worth sustaining or defending. Of course, the idea of conscious "genocide" against Native Americans is absurd despite Cindy Sheehan's claims of "virtual extinction of our native population" there are more self-identified Indians alive today than a hundred or even two hundred  years ago.
 
Moreover, the assimilation and massive intermarriage with white people (even Bill Clinton claimed to be "part Cherokee") erased far more self-identified Indians than the relatively rare (but undeniably loathsome) massacres by whites. Concerning slavery, Americans never invented it or instituted it we inherited it, and with such great discomfort that anti-slavery activists were far better represented among the founding fathers (Franklin, Adams, Hamilton) than those who made an active case for slavery. David Brion Davis, the Yale professor who's written magisterially about the history of the peculiar institution, makes clear the positive role of the American Revolution and its ideals in giving life (after many millennia of slavery) to the abolitionist movement around the world that ultimately put an end to this savage oppression. The United States, in other words, played a unique, prominent role in ending the institution, but played no role in establishing it.

Immigrant Sweep Snares 36 Molesters
The Southland offenders were among 2,100 non-deported criminals arrested in a national crackdown.
By Amanda Covarrubias, Times Staff Writer
June 15, 2006

Thirty-six illegal immigrants who served time in Southern California for child sex offenses and were later released instead of being deported were among more than 2,100 illegal immigrants arrested in a nationwide sweep, officials said Wednesday.

The crackdown brought into sharp focus a loophole that immigration officials said they were trying to close. Illegal immigrants who commit crimes in the United States are supposed to be deported once they finish their jail or prison terms. But instead, many remain in this country because jailers don't process them through the federal deportation system, officials said.

Scientists respond to Gore's warnings of climate catastrophe
http://www.canadafreepress.com/2006/harris061206.htm

"The Inconvenient Truth" is indeed inconvenient to alarmists
By Tom Harris
Monday, June 12, 2006

"Scientists have an independent obligation to respect and present the truth as they see it," Al Gore sensibly asserts in his film "An Inconvenient Truth." With that outlook in mind, what do world climate experts actually think about the science of his movie?

Professor Bob Carter of the Marine Geophysical Laboratory at James Cook University, in Australia gives what, for many Canadians, is a surprising assessment: "Gore's circumstantial arguments are so weak that they are pathetic. It is simply incredible that they, and his film, are commanding public attention."

But surely Carter is merely part of what most people regard as a tiny cadre of "climate change skeptics" who disagree with the "vast majority of scientists" Gore cites?

No; Carter is one of hundreds of highly qualified non-governmental, non-industry, non-lobby group climate experts who contest the hypothesis that human emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) are causing significant global climate change. "Climate experts" is the operative term here. Why? Because what Gore's "majority of scientists" think is immaterial when only a very small fraction of them actually work in the climate field.

Why Terrorists Planned to Strike Canada?
<http://www.washingtontimes.com/op-ed/20060611-094354-8871r.htm>
By Joel Mowbray
Published June 12, 2006

In the predictable stories reporting the “astonishment” of friends and neighbors about the Canadian terror suspects arrested last week, one tidbit serves as a cautionary tale for the threat of homegrown terrorism in the U.S.

One of the 17 arrested, Qayyum Abdul Jamal, was an imam at a small storefront mosque in suburban Toronto.  Those who listened to his sermons have told reporters that they didn’t promote violent jihad or advocate killing non-Muslims.  In a post-9/11 environment less hospitable to such rhetoric, these denials actually could be true.

But the arrested imam didn’t need to preach violence in order to prime the terror pump.

A New Kind Of McCarthyism
FROM Investors Business Daily Editorial Page
Posted 4/24/2006

Leaks
: The media have a curious double standard when it comes to national security. They lambaste those they dislike for "leaks" and "lapses," but ignore their own.

Mary McCarthy, a high-level official in the CIA's office of the inspector general, was fired last week after failing a polygraph test and, as The Washington Post reported, for "discussing operational intelligence matters with journalists."  Among the journalists McCarthy leaked to was the Post's own Dana Priest, who two weeks ago won a Pulitzer Prize for her reporting on, as the Post put it, the "secret, CIA-run prisons for suspected terrorists in eastern Europe and elsewhere."

Some in the mainstream media, along with key Democrats, came to McCarthy's defense....  McCarthy, it seems, was a Democratic Party operative — a mole.  There's evidence for this. McCarthy has given thousands over the years to Democratic candidates, including Kerry. She also had deep ties to the Clinton administration, serving as an aide to disgraced National Security Adviser Sandy Berger.

That's why it's no surprise she leaked to the Post's Priest. As dozens of Internet bloggers have noted, Priest herself has sterling left-wing credentials. Her husband is William Goodfellow, executive director of the Center for International Policy, a far-left policy think tank that has basically staked its existence on opposing any and all Bush administration policies in Iraq and elsewhere. McCarthy told her tales not to some disinterested, objective reporter, but to someone she knew would use it to hurt President Bush.

Revealing secrets during wartime is against the law, especially for spies who sign ironclad secrecy agreements. As such, McCarthy's admission that she leaked to Priest and possibly others makes her a criminal. A strong case can be made that Priest is, too.


97 Illegal Aliens Arrested Working at Military Bases & Other Critical Infrastructure over 5 months
In 11 different incidents from July 2005 through Jan 2006 over 97 illegal aliens were arrested while working at "secure" military bases, airports, and refineries.  11 were arrested at a Naval Air Station in Texas, 14 at a refinery in Louisiana, 22 at an Air Force base in New Mexico, 20 at New Orleans Airport, 6 at a Naval Air Station in Louisiana, 1 at the highly secure White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, 3 at Fort Bragg in North Carolina, 7 at an Air Force base in Mountain Home Idaho, 6 at the Fort Irwin California army base, 6 at Homestead Air Force base in Florida, and 1 at a Marine Logistics base in Barstow, California.  But there is no real security threat posed by illegal immigration, right...

Daniel Weintraub: Breaking free from employer-managed health care

By Daniel Weintraub -- Bee Columnist
From the Sacramento Bee
Published 2:15 am PST Tuesday, February 21, 2006

Imagine for a moment that your employer was required by law to buy a plan to manage your nutrition needs - rather than simply paying you a wage, out of which you buy the food you want to eat.

Or suppose the government required your employer to pay for a housing plan, rather than paying you and letting you decide where and how to live.

 

Facts weren't invited to the King funeral
Services for Coretta Scott King turned into an ugly, disrespectful political rally.

By Larry Elder

The "funeral" of Coretta Scott King turned into an ugly, disrespectful political rally....

Listening to speaker after speaker complain about the poor conditions under which minorities live, one wonders whether Martin Luther King Jr. accomplished anything.

There stood Oprah Winfrey, the most powerful woman in television, with her net worth estimated by Forbes magazine at $1.3 billion. And she recently signed a $55 million deal with XM Satellite Radio. There stood poet Maya Angelou, who, in one recent year, grossed $3.3 million according to Forbes, and lives in a mansion while employing several people full time....

Most blacks are middle class and do not live in the inner city. If black America were a separate country, its GDP would place it at No. 16 in the world. Corporations like Time Warner, American Express and Merrill Lynch all have black CEOs.

America, while not perfect, certainly has come a long, long way since the day King led the Montgomery bus boycott. But the funeral speakers confuse equal rights with equal results -- two very different things. UCLA public policy professor emeritus James Q. Wilson once said, "You need only do three things to avoid poverty in this country: finish high school, marry before having a child, and produce the child after the age of 20. Only 8 percent of families who do this are poor; 79 percent of those who fail to do this are poor." Yet today's "black leaders" demand reparations, set-asides, race-based preferences, and still more welfare.

In 1911, Booker T. Washington seemed to address some of those who spoke at the funeral when he said, "There is (a) class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs -- partly because they want sympathy, and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. ... There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don't want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public."

Larry Elder is an attorney, syndicated columnist and national radio talk-show host. He can be heard from 3 to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday on KABC-AM 790. His e-mail address is sage@larryelder.com.

Net firms caught between Chinese rules, U.S. demands for free speech

BEIJING (AP) - Yahoo Inc., Google Inc. and other U.S. Internet companies under fire for assisting in China's censorship efforts are insisting they must obey Beijing or risk limiting access to their most promising market.

As the companies face congressional hearings in Washington on Wednesday about their role in aiding the communist regime, they are appealing to the U.S. government for help, saying no private business can resist China on its own.

Yet analysts say that even if Washington stepped in to enforce free-speech standards, perhaps by forcing U.S. companies to withdraw their Internet services or equipment from China, the impact would likely be blunted as entrepreneurs from China and other countries move in to fill the void in the rapidly growing market.

BCRC Member Front & Center in D.C. Rally against guest worker amnesty
About 100 supporters of the Minuteman Project rallied on the West Lawn of the Capitol yesterday morning, imploring the government to tighten the nation's borders and reject guest-worker legislation.   The House last year passed a border-enforcement bill that calls for, among other things, the construction of 700 miles of fence along the U.S.-Mexico border and makes it a felony to cross illegally. The Senate will debate its own version of the bill in coming weeks.  Beach Cities Republican Club member and Minuteman supporter, Deborah Courtney is pictured on the right making her case to one of a few counter protesters.  Local Republican Congressman Dana Rohrabacher from Huntington Beach joined Rep. Tom Tancredo (R- Colo.) at the rally to speak in favor of tighter immigration laws and border enforcement and against amnesty in the form of guest worker programs.
 

Pastor JOe Wright Opens Kansas Senate with Prayer Heard 'round the world
Expecting a standard general prayer, some law makers left the chamber when they heard this from Rev. Wright:

"Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your
forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values.
We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery.
We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.
We have killed our unborn and called it choice.
We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable.
We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self esteem.
! We have abused power and called it politics.
We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition.
We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of __expression.
We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.
Search us, Oh, God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from
Every sin and set us free. Amen!"

Reverend's church was inundated with 5,000 calls afterwards, 47 were negative.
 

Stupid in America: Why your kids are probably dumber than Belgians by John Stossel (ABC 20/20 Correspondent)

...We gave identical tests to high school students in New Jersey and in Belgium. The Belgian kids cleaned the American kids' clocks. The Belgian kids called the American students "stupid."  The American boy who got the highest score told me: "I'm shocked, 'cause it just shows how advanced they are compared to us."

The Belgians did better because their schools are better. At age ten, American students take an international test and score well above the international average. But by age fifteen, when students from forty countries are tested, the Americans place twenty-fifth. The longer kids stay in American schools, the worse they do in international competition. They do worse than kids from countries that spend much less money on education. Click Here for More...
