Which brings us to Madame Speaker’s 2007 financial disclosure form. Schedule III lists “Assets and ‘Unearned Income’” of between $100,001-$250,000 from Clean Energy Fuels Corp. — Public Common Stock. Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (CLNE) is a natural gas provider founded by T. Boone Pickens. Yep, that T. Boone Pickens — former oilman turned wind-power evangelist whose ads touting a national wind campaign are now as ubiquitous as Viagra promos. ( http://pfds.opensecrets.org/N00007360_2007.pdf see pages 7 and 16) Pickens and Pelosi share the same talking points downplaying the need to drill and open up more access to American oil. Instead, the Pickens pie-in-the-sky plan proposes to replace natural gas with wind power in power generation and theoretically free up natural gas for America’s transportation needs. Now, let’s follow that money. As reported on dontgomovement.com, Speaker Pelosi bought ...

Obama tied to Iraqi government fraud?   Hundreds of millions in deals with candidate's associates Posted: July 30, 2008 1:00 am Eastern By Aaron Klein © 2008 WorldNetDaily    JERUSALEM – Sen. Barack Obama's office engaged in six months of negotiations with a company controlled by convicted criminal Tony Rezko to lobby the U.S. government to push through a nixed $50 million contact to train Iraqi security personnel at a site in Chicago. The contract was awarded to Rezko's company while Aiham Alsammarae, a long-time, close Rezko friend and a contributor to Obama's campaign, served as Iraq's U.S.-appointed electricity minister, the senator's office confirms. Rezko was a major Obama fundraiser and associate for two decades. Alsammarae also awarded another Rezko-controlled operation as part of a $150 million contract to construct a 250-megawatt electricity plant in Iraq. Alsammarae later was arrested by Iraqi authorities for bilking the coalition government out of some $650 million. He was sprung from prison under questionable circumstances in 2006 and escaped from Iraq, where he is still wanted for questioning with regard to major financial crimes. The information raises questions into the nature of Obama's relationship with multiple ...

Section 8 USC 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv)(b)(iii) "Any person who . . . encourages or induces an illegal alien to . . . reside . . . knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such . . . residence is . . . in violation of law, shall be punished as provided . . . for each illegal alien in respect to whom such a violation occurs . . . fined under title 18 . . . imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both."

I live a mile from the Greater Rochester International Airport, and as I write this I’m being deafened by U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds. I hope everyone enjoyed the show since some of us had no choice. I have no problem with the concept of an air show to take the kids to, but couldn’t they have it out in a field in the middle of nowhere so only those who want to experience it do so? Just a thought. DAN LILKER GATES Display of might was disturbing I watched the ESL International Air Show, with the screaming jets, with not a sense of pride in American air power but a growing sense of combined anger and shame. I thought of these same planes diving down on targets in Iraq and around the rest of the world. I wondered about the ethics of dropping cluster bombs, with the unexploded bomblets scattered around for civilians to step on or drive over. I thought about their deadly cargo of ...

When are the Wayne County police going to start obeying the law and arrest the business owners! Then there might actually be some justice! Illegal entrants being given special treatment? Juan Casarubia-Rendon, an illegal entrant, was stopped for DWI with a blood alcohol level of .32%, no license, no insurance, released on an appearance ticket and driven home by deputies  Some farmers won't admit it publicly, but things are changing. Years ago, Mexican migrant workers travelled the planting and harvest seasons across the country without much notice. Area farmers could rely on many of the same migrant workers returning to Wayne County and to the same farms year after year. There was no denying, the Mexican workers were hard working and filling a job sector locals shunned away from. Of all the migrant trade, Mexicans were the most reliable, most consistent and the group with the fewest problems for local authorities. Over the past several years, local police agencies have seen a change among the transient groups. Stabbings, prostitution, drugs, check schemes ...

He writes: [Obama's] policy prescription there is equally as troubling as the one he proposes for Iraq (retreat!). If I may, I wanted to add one quibbling corollary to your post -- Afghanistan occupies an enormous amount of my time...these days: I think Afghanistan IS as bad now as Iraq was pre-surge. None of this is classified, of course. For the reasons you cite the answer is not more US troops. The circumstance are different and, to use Obama's word, nuance is important. (as an aside, isn't Obama's prescription for Afghanistan -- a surge -- at least an implicit admission that he believes the surge in Iraq is effective? If not, where did he get the idea?) Unlike Iraq, control of the cities is not the problem in Afghanistan. Afghanistan is HUGE. Bigger than Iraq. We just don't have the troops to do in Afghanistan what we did in Iraq, even if we weren't in Iraq. Rather it's the lawlessness in the hinterlands that is the problem. Regular Army doesn't get ...

I was reading this story ( http://timesunion.com/AspStories/story.asp?storyID=706159& TextPage =1 ) about sanctuary cities. It centers around the killing of three family members, a father and his two sons who were shot to death by " alleged " MS-13 gang member Edwin Ramos. (To read more about MS-13, click here: http://www.altereddimensions.net/crime/MS13Gang.htm ). Ramos had been arrested three times previously but they didn't deport him because he was in a city that "bars local officials from cooperating with federal authorities in their efforts to deport illegal immigrants". He was convicted of two felonies but never deported. Spokesman for SF's mayor said they were "wrong to shield undocumented, juvenile felons from federal immigration authorities. The sanctuary program was never intended to shield felons, Ballard said. The policy was inappropriate". But here's the kicker: "However, Newsom "still supports the worthwhile aims of denying the federal government" assistance in deporting otherwise law-abiding undocumented residents, he said. How can he support that after Mrs. Bologna has been widowed and lost her two sons?? Here's a list of cities in NY that are sanctuary cities: Bay Shore, Brentwood , Central Islip , Farmingville , NY City, Riverhead , Shirly /Mastic, Spring Valley Village, Uniondale and ...

The Child was blessed in looks and intellect. Scion of a simple family, offspring of a miraculous union, grandson of a typical white person and an African peasant. And yea, as he grew, the Child walked in the path of righteousness, with only the occasional detour into the odd weed and a little blow. When he was twelve years old, they found him in the temple in the City of Chicago, arguing the finer points of community organisation with the Prophet Jeremiah and the Elders. And the Elders were astonished at what they heard and said among themselves: “Verily, who is ...
