Blowing the Whistle on U.N. Corruption

On the eve of a Senate vote on the U.N.'s Law of the Sea Treaty, a former senior staffer in one of the key institutions created by the treaty says that U.S. senators should have the complete and honest truth about mismanagement and financial corruption there. The International Seabed Authority, which is one of the main organizations created by the treaty, stands to receive millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars if the Senate ratifies the pact.

Hey Al Gore, We Want a Refund

A British judge ruled on the eve of Al Gore co-winning the Nobel Peace Prize that students forced to watch "An Inconvenient Truth" must be warned of the film's factual errors. But would there be any science at all left in Gore's "truth" if these errors and their progeny were excised?

Your Heart Is Slowly Dying From Chronic Scurvy

Why is research that could save countless lives unknown to Canadian and U.S. doctors? This week, a report that Dr. Sydney Bush, an optometrist in Hull, England, has made an historic discovery. He claims that atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries) can be reversed. And his research, which could save millions from heart attack, should have made headlines around the world.

Bob Jones Dances With The Devil

The Washington Times carried an Associated Press report entitled, "Bob Jones III endorses Mitt Romney." Here are excerpts:

The Top Internet Security Screw Ups

With over 14 years experience of defending against Internet Security threats, Brent MacLean, Managing Director of J.B. MacLean Consulting Inc., has seen it all. The top ten Internet security screw ups. So here they are, in reverse order (saving the best to last):

The Bird Brain Flu Epidemic

Progressives around the world and more specifically in the USA have unilaterally decided that the election of November 2006 was a mandate for their Socialist agendas.

Shep still waiting for the train

No matter how icy the winds that will howl into your hometown come winter, there's a lasting warmth to be found in a new book called Shep: Loyalty Beyond All Bounds by Kevin Davis. The Shep story was 65 years in coming and worth every second of waiting. Sixty-five years ago in Ft. Benton, Montana a sheepdog named Shep died. But Shep who had wandered into the human heart was never to be forgotten, not even generations later. In any kind of weather Shep went up to every passenger train that stopped in his hometown--for five and one-half years, where he waited patiently for his beloved master's return. When Shep died in 1942, the story hit the A.P. It was picked up by the London Daily and the New York Times. At that time, it took on meaning for those who would grieve the departure of their loves ones (those who were bravely departing for WW2) and would wait while hoping and praying for the joyous day of their return.

El Rushbo Uses Letter from Useful Idiots to Help U.S. Troops

Harry Reid and forty of the most fervently anti-American Democrats in the history of the U.S. Senate tried their level best to embarrass conservative talk show icon Rush Limbaugh, while simultaneously promoting themselves as guardian angels charged with protecting U.S. troops.

Top Ten Frivolous Lawsuits

We've all heard the one about the woman who spilled scalding coffee and successfully sued McDonald's. But we've also heard reports of burglars suing homeowners after injuring themselves during a robbery. And don't forget the stories of Winnebago owners winning lawsuits after they left the driver's seat because the vehicle's cruise control was activated. Most of us laugh off these stories as urban legends made to show the absurdity of frivolous lawsuits. You might be surprised, however, by how many of these are true.

ABC Tries To Credit Democrats for Rush’s $2 Million Ebay Letter!

If this doesn't take the cake, I don't know what does? On an ABC News Blog called the Political Radar, ABC reports on Rush Limbaugh's $2 million condemnation letter and throughout the piece continually links "Democrats" to the charity donation that Limbaugh and the ebay bidder for the letter are giving the money to. After reading this ABC blog report, one gets the sneaking suspicion that ABC thinks that Harry Reid and the Democrats are the ones that should be hailed as the good guys responsible for raising this monumental sum for charity. It is clear that ABC did their level best to play down Limbaugh's part in the story and play up the supposed positive contribution of Democrats.

Chicago Sneaks Free Newspaper Killing Law into Effect

Today, thanks to a law ushered in the back door right under everyone's noses, it is illegal to distribute free newspapers. Were the Founders alive today, Richard Daley, King of Chicago, would prevent them from distributing their political papers to the public. No speech in King Daley's city... not without HIS say-so, anyway.

Naomi Wolf Cries Fascism

One of my pet peeves with the Left is the tendency, almost by default, to liken the Bush Administration to Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. It is a significant reason I could no longer bring myself to associate with the Left.

Feds and North Carolina Sheriffs Work Together to Capture Criminal Aliens

US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) representatives today presented a proposed statewide partnership plan to the sheriffs in attendance at the North Carolina Sheriffs' Association's (NCSA) fall meeting.

Afghan Drug Kingpin Baz Mohammad Extradited to New York

Baz Mohammad, 51, an Afghan heroin kingpin who is the first defendant ever extradited to the US from Afghanistan, was sentenced this week to 16 years imprisonment for managing an international narcotics-trafficking organization that imported millions of dollars of heroin into the US, according to the US Attorney's Office in New York City.

Question: Did the Resolution Condemning Turkey Create a Constitutional Crisis

Recently, the House Foreign Affairs Committee, chaired by US Rep. Tom Lantos (D-CA), passed a resolution that recognized the killing of up to 1.5 million Armenians by Ottoman Turks in 1915 as genocide. While the circumstances surrounding the slaughter are disputed, the killings did occur. The larger questions this action presents could very well be as disturbing as the killings themselves. What was there to gain by issuing this non-binding resolution at this moment in time? And, did the issuance of the non-binding resolution usurp the Executive Branch's authority to establish foreign policy?

Of Nobel Frauds, Murderers and Knaves

By winning the coveted Nobel Peace Prize last week, Al Gore has become one of truly select company. To put this accomplishment in perspective, it will be instructive to briefly review the achievements of some of the Prize's earlier recipients.

Fake Male Syndrome is on the way out

There's good news within the popular and consumer culture. "Metrosexual" is out "menergy" is in. For those who aren't familiar with the term "metrosexual" it applies to testosterone challenged, narcissistic, heterosexual males whose primary focus is on their physical appearance.

Musharraf’s respect for press freedom

Although many are skeptical about Pakistani President General Pervez Musharraf's commitment to democracy, even they agree the press has had more freedom under him than probably ever before. Even so, the press there walks a careful line through a minefield of military, political and religious influences.

Evil

Man has long asked how a loving God could allow evil to exist in the world. It's an age-old philosophical question that can cause those who want faith to doubt and those who want to doubt to mock faith. A Christian's answer to this question is "free will," a concept critics may regard as something reduced to a convenient cliche. The truth is, though, that this is a most fascinating subject to inquisitive minds.
