A spokesman for National Right to Life says the latest attempt by House Democrats to obscure federal abortion funding in their healthcare bill is a "political fig leaf made out of cellophane."  

Blue Dog Congressman Brad Ellsworth (D-Indiana), an avowed pro-lifer, is sponsoring an amendment he claims would make sure no federal funds in the bill are used to provide abortions.  (Pro-life proposal a sham?)

 
However, pro-life groups across the country say Ellsworth's proposal is a sham.  Douglas Johnson, legislative director for the National Right to Life Committee, says House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the Obama administration are desperately trying to undercut Congressman Bart Stupak (D-Michigan) and other pro-lifers who want to pass an amendment barring abortion funding.

"How do they do that?  By coming up with some phony baloney language and finding some pro-life guy who's willing to play along and be the front man," explains Johnson. "And unfortunately Mr. Ellsworth has been drawn into that role."
 
Johnson says Ellsworth's amendment not only keeps abortion in the bill, but it also adds insult to injury.

(Lets not be fooled and any  any congressman  who falls for this trick  should be voted out of office ASAP.)

A Los Angeles doctor has allegedly found a creative way to speed up his workflow.

Levon Tebelekian, 72, is accused of giving medical clearance to immigrants applying for U.S. visas by allegedly falsifying the results of medical exams and lab tests, the Los Angeles Times reported.

In one case, he allegedly told an undercover ICE agent that he was not going to "disturb his blood" and that he "did not look like he had AIDS," according to an affidavit.

(I hope this will be looked into soon if it has not been. This man should have  his right to be a doctor removed. Thanks to what this doctor did many people in America could have been given some illness. Read more on this story by clicking  right here.)

Twelve people have been killed and 30 wounded in a shooting spree at a Texas military post in a murderous rampage that officials believe was carried out by an Army psychiatrist who was about to be deployed to Iraq. (WHY DID HE DO IT?  )

The suspected gunman was identified by ABC News as Major Nidal Malik Hasan. An Army official confirmed that Maj. Hasan would have been deployed to Iraq later this month. Sources tell ABC News that this would have been his firstdeployment.

The shooter was initially reported to have been killed, but Lt. Gen. Robert W. Cone told a late night news conference that the suspect was wounded and in custody. Cone would not say what Hasan's medical condition was, but said the suspect was not in danger of dying.

Hasan is not talking to authorities, said Cone.

Hasan's cousin, Nader Hasan, issued a statement late Thursday.

"We are shocked and saddened by the terrible events at Fort Hood today. We send the families of the victims our most heartfelt sympathies," the statement read. "Nidal was an American citizen. He was Born in Arlington, Virginia and raised here in America...Our family loves America. We are proud of our country, and saddened by today's tragedy."

Hasan allegedly opened fire and killed 12 people on the post before he was shot several times. Among the wounded was a female police officer who exchanged gunfire with Hasan.

( What else could I post but to write this whole thing is sad. I hope the media will cover that the killer was a follower of Islam. What would have the media had done if the killer had been yelling Jesus. You know what would have happened if that had been the case the media  would been reporting that followers of Jesus are too extreme.So could this killing had been a hate crime.) 

An Army psychiatrist suspected of opening fire on fellow soldiers at Fort Hood cleaned out his apartment in the days before the rampage that left 13 people dead, a neighbor said Friday.

The neighbor, Patricia Villa, said Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan came over to her apartment Wednesday and Thursday and offered her some items, including a new Quran, saying he was going to be deployed on Friday. She wasn't sure if he was going to Iraq or Afghanistan.

Authorities said Hasan went on a shooting spree later Thursday at the sprawling Texas post. He was among 30 people wounded in the spree and remained hospitalized on a ventilator Friday. All but two of the injured were still hospitalized, and all were in stable condition.

Investigators were still trying to piecing together how and why an Army psychiatrist facing deployment allegedly gunned down his comrades in one of the worst mass shootings ever on an American military base.

(Please join me in keeping the families of the dead in your thoughts and prayers. Also pray for those who are hurt along with their families that includes the gun- man. If I had to guess I would bet this had something to do with Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan being a follower of the Islam faith but we all will just have to wait and see.

Thirty years ago, the U.S. Embassy in Tehran was stormed by radical Islamists. Fifty-two Americans were held for 444 days.  The regime marks this date each year with rallies, "death to America" chants and the burning of the Stars and Stripes. This year is different. The opposition "Green Movement" is rebutting those slogans with their own "death to the dictator" chants. There are violent clashes in Tehran's streets. ( Violent Clashes Mark 30 Year Anniversary of Iran Hostage Crisis ... )

At one protest, the crowd reportedly chanted, "Obama, Obama, you are either with us or with them."  The Administration's actions are speaking loudly on that question.

(We must never forget what happen 30 years ago yesterday. The truth those who follow radical Islam including those who live in Iran hate America. We must keep our guard up to keep our nation from going through this again. It is funny that after  Reagun was elected the hostages were freed. Why did that happen? Because Reagun was going to use the strength of our nation to free them. He wasn't going to put up with anything from those in Iran who hated America. )

Former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee is explaining his decision not to endorse a candidate in the special election that was decided Tuesday night in New York's 23rd Congressional District.

Unlike other potential 2012 Republican presidential candidates like Tim Pawlenty and Sarah Palin, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee chose not to endorse Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman, who lost to Democrat Bill Owens by four points.

Huckabee tells OneNewsNow that more than a year ago, he agreed to be the speaker at an awards dinner for the Conservative Party in Syracuse. At that time, he says, Party officials specifically asked him not to get involved in the race, so he honored that commitment.
 
In addition to that, Huckabee says there is another reason why he did not endorse Hoffman. (

Huckabee: Third-party conservatives benefit liberals)

 
"I'm not a guy that believes that we typically are going to do very well by supporting third-party, independent candidates -- and I think we saw that in New Jersey. Chris Christie almost lost his bid [for governor of New Jersey] because of the presence of an independent," Huckabee notes.

(For the most part I don't support third party candidates but when the  Republican candidate is on the left and acts like a Democrat what is the difference between the two parties. That is why I backed a third party candidate in New York State. Mr. Huckabee  needs to do some thinking about that.) 

 The New York Yankees bolted from the dugout even before the last grounder was scooped up. After waiting nine years for championship No. 27, no one would dare hold them back. ( Ecstasy in the Bronx! Yankees win title No. 27...  )

"It feels better than I remember it, man," captain Derek Jeter said. "It's been a long time."

Hideki Matsui tied a World Series record with six RBIs, Andy Pettittewon on short rest and New York beat the Philadelphia Phillies 7-3 in Game 6 on Wednesday night, finally seizing that elusive title — the most in all of sports.

Paint the town in pinstripes! Nearly a decade after their dynasty ended on a blooper in the desert, the Yankees are baseball's best again.

( I am not a fan of the Yankees but I  must tip my hat to them and their fans. You are the champs!  Also  to the Phillies and their fans good year. It takes a lot of work just to get a chance to win the title two years in a row.) 

AN outspoken Kiwi politician has proposed a new solution to the country's child abuse problem - pay the "appalling underclass" not to breed.

Michael Laws - who stirred up controversy by calling the late Tongan King a "bloated brown slug'' - has again hit the headlines.

"That there is a group within our society who give their children no hope nor opportunity from the moment that they are born," the regional mayor wrote on the New Zealand radio websitewhere he broadcasts as a talkback DJ.

"That these ‘parents’ are known to authorities ... and yet the authorities can only intervene after children have been harmed."

Mr Laws goes on to write: "it would be far better for this appalling underclass to be offered financial inducements not to have children, given the toxic environment that they would provide for any child in their care."

The mayor believes "the consequent financial and social savings to our community would be considerable.

"There are too many people who should not have children."

(Here is a new idea how about going after the people who abuse their children and if the current law is not allowing you to do that work through the right channels to change it. Read more of the above story New Zealand mayor: Pay 'appalling underclass' not to breed.)

Election Day losses in Virginia and New Jersey have congressional Democrats focused like never before on jobs — their own.

While the White House and party leaders are urging calm, Democratic incumbents from red states and Republican-leaning districts are anything but; Tuesday's statehouse defeats have left them acutely aware that their votes on health care reform and other major Obama initiatives could be career-enders in 2010 or beyond. (Red-state Dems worried, rethink agenda...  )

“I should be nervous,” said Rep. Parker Griffith, a freshman Democrat from Huntsville, Ala.

Griffith said the Democratic rank and file is “very, very sensitive” to the fact that issues being pushed by party leaders “have the potential to cost some of our front-line members their seats.

(They should be worried and us voters should be watching. Perhaps the fear of losing at the voting booth will save us from seeing government forced health care become the law of the land. )
