Is Modern Man Descendant of Neanderthal?

It is always a joy to write a piece on scientific ‘evidence’ that pits itself against long held beliefs. Thus it is my great pleasure to visit the world of human evolution; where we came from, and whether we lived side by side the Neanderthal, or evolved from him.

Alan Keyes: The Right Man for Our Times

As a Christian conservative, I have made the conscious decision to support Alan Keyes for president.  Mr. Keyes closely mirrors what I'd like to see in our next president.  I do hold in high esteem a candidate who will acknowledge, and has ALWAYS acknowledged, Almighty God as our nation's up-lifter and helper.

Fugitive Operations Teams Arrest 925 Criminal Aliens

Officials with the Homeland Security Department's Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced that deportation officers assigned to the Baltimore Office made a record number of arrests in fiscal year 2007.

The West is fooling itself

Following last week’s assassination of Benazir Bhutto, the silence emanating from most western-based Muslim organizations is deafening. Where is the outrage that organizations such as the Canadian Islamic Congress (CIC) or CAIR-Can should be showing over the killing of Bhutto? In this case they aren’t even bothering with the usual drivel about the assassination being strictly political and having nothing to do with Islam.

Yet Another 2007 Year End Review

What can I say, I'm sitting in a hotel room in the center of the Universe tonight and over the past week or so I’ve listened to, or been reading, “year in review” pieces from media outlets and pundits alike. So I figured I might as well jump right in.

The Secret of Ron Paul’s Success

Many in the media are intrigued by Rep. Ron Paul's success in the presidential campaign but usually focus on how much money he is raising. In terms of issues, some think he is rising in the polls because of his opposition to the Iraq War. That may be a factor, but my research convinces me that he is doing well primarily because he has a traditional Republican message of returning to smaller and less expensive government. More than that, however, he is talking about the threat posed by global institutions.

Too Ignorant, Too Greedy, Too Partisan

Just as a democracy must fear leaders who might threaten our freedoms, we must also fear leaders who are so stupid or indifferent to the facts that it inflicts economic and other harmful effects on our lives.

50 burned to death in church as tribal mobs bring terror after poll

A screaming mob set fire to a Kenyan church and killed up to 50 villagers cowering inside, including women and children, as the death toll from ethnic riots soared towards 300 last night.

An endorsement that might matter

Do celebrity endorsements make much of a difference in elections? Barack Obama’s assistance from the unelected queen of the world, Oprah Winfrey, suggests maybe not, at least not in the way you’d expect.

Today’s DNA could prove Hugo Chavez a liar

While arrogant Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and his Hollywood sidekick director Oliver Stone held the world at bay over the Christmas holidays waiting for the release of a 3-year-old hostage, the little boy could have been in a Bogotá orphanage all the while. “Relatives of a child born to a hostage mother and a guerilla father will undergo DNA testing Tuesday to determine whether the child is still a captive—or in a Bogotá orphanage, as the Colombian president has charged.” (AFP, Jan. 1, 2008). Proof that Emmanuel is in a Bogotá orphanage would prove Chavez, prancing about Villavicencio in the signature red beret and fatigues of his paratrooper days as the global court jester of all time.

Exit and emergency lighting supplies to the United States Military, government, and universities throughout America

The Man of the Year Award: Insult or Accolade?

What is it that you first think of when someone tells you that a celebrity or famous person has been named the man of the year? That first thing you think of is that the celebrated person had done something great to be named the man of the year, is it not? And isn’t it the general expectation that the “great” thing equates to a great and good thing? After all, why celebrate someone who did something bad as a man of the year?

Feasible Impact Risk Detected

It seems a bit of a wonder that movies like Deep Impact and Armageddon made such an impact on humanity, considering the source of their storyline. One would imagine that the end of all humankind is not necessarily a story built for the masses.

 Canada readies to give U.S. deserters refuge

Since the start of the Iraq war in 2003, U.S. military deserters have been trickling into Canada and seeking refugee status, arguing that they face persecution if returned to the United States.

Cops applaud presidential candidate

While most of the politicians vying for their party's nomination for President of the United States pay lip service to the nation's law enforcement officers, Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) is actually doing something to earn the respect and gratitude of America's cops, according to many police officers and organizations.

In 2008, a 100 Percent Chance of Alarm

I’d like to wish you a happy New Year, but I’m afraid I have a different sort of prediction.

Tens of thousands flee Kenya violence as toll tops 300

A Kenyan man flees with his children during disturbances in the streets of the Mathare slum in Nairobi. Tens of thousands of people have been forced to flee their homes amid brutal post-election violence in Kenya that had claimed at least 300 lives by Wednesday and threatens to descend into full-scale tribal conflict

To a Canadian Muslim

Most Canadian Muslims [i.e. followers of Islam] are people who were raised Muslim. There are also small numbers of converts to Islam from other religions. As with immigrants in general, Muslim immigrants have come to Canada for a variety of reasons.

Election Funding: Pay the Piper, Call the Tune

Politicians who run for office need loads of campaign cash. The candidates in this year’s presidential campaign are busy raising money from corporate America.

January Gardening

Happy New Year – and a Leap Year at that. The extra day will extend predicted cold another twenty-four hours, assuming Richard Mosset, a meteorologist with the Canadian Meteorological Centre at Environment Canada, is right. This winter, says the civil servant soothsayer, will be colder than normal over most of the country.
