ARIZONA GOP Candidate Wants To Cut Off Electricity To Undocument. TX Rep. Louis Gohmert Warns of Terrorist Babies - KOLD News 13. U.S. Rep. Joe Barton, R-Ennis, isn't the only Texas congressman making headlines in Washington. Citing a "retired F.B.I. agent" as his source, U.S. Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Tyler, said on the floor of Congress last week that terror cells are plotting to breed future terrorists inside the United States. "It appeared they would have young women who became pregnant [and] would get them into the United States to have a baby. They wouldn't even have to pay anything for the baby," Gohmert said. Gohmert issued the warning in defense of Arizona's immigration law, which the Obama administration is planning to file suit over.

The Right and Duty of the People: The Legal and Moral B. Why West Lost Afghan War. The former head of the CIA’s bin Laden unit says the US-led coalition has already lost the war in Afghanistan. A shake-up in military leadership won’t change that. Recent events surrounding Afghanistan shouldn’t confuse anyone, as the reality of the situation still lies in one simple statement: The US-NATO coalition has lost a war its political leaders never meant, or knew how, to win. ‘Winning’ in Afghanistan was never anything more than killing Osama bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri, Mullah Omar, as many of their fighters and civilian supporters as possible and then getting out immediately with the full knowledge that—as Mao said long ago—insurgencies always rebuild and the process might need to be repeated.

The best and most appropriate response to al-Qaeda’s September 11 raid, then, would have been a unilateral US punitive expedition that inflicted massive death and destruction on the enemy and delivered a clear warning to Islamists not to pick fights with the United States.

Dodd-Frank: Hell Hath No Fury Like a Lobbyist Scorned. Dilemma: Manufacturing Jobs Available, Not Enough Appli. An interesting phenomenon is occurring in the manufacturing sector of the U.S. Unexpectedly (at least to this observer) it seems this sector is one of the few bright spots in the economy, adding jobs rather than shedding them.

Yet a problem exists between the skill levels of many of the job applicants and the specialized needs of the manufacturers.[1] According to one chief executive interviewed in the Cleveland, Ohio area said, "The people that are out of work just don't match the type of jobs that are here, open and growing. "[2] Two areas of demand are in advanced "medical devices and wind turbines" as well as "people who can operate sophisticated computerized machinery, follow complex blueprints and demonstrate higher math proficiency"not previously required of the typical assembly line worker Many manufacturers report, "They will never bring back many of the low-skilled jobs and that training is not yet delivering the skilled employees they need.

Big Hollywood » Blog Archive » ‘South of the Border’ Confirms Ol. BP Catastrophe As Metaphor: Those We Elect Don't Give a. The oil spill in the Gulf was not merely an accident. It could have been easily prevented had Tony Hayward (Chief Executive of BP Oil) and his sociopathic cohorts chosen to install certain safety mechanisms. But with the bottom line in mind, BP chose not to install them, even though the cost of doing so amounted to no more than a fraction of a single day's profits. BP decided that the risk of an "accident" was worth it. And our congressional representatives cheered Tony on.

As a result of this, you can rest assured that this will happen again. And when we turn to those appointed to run our government's "watchdog" regulatory agencies the situation is no better. As a result of all this, no law required BP to install the safety mechanisms that could have prevented the disaster in the Gulf. So there you have it. Anyway, the Gulf oil spill was no accident.

ACCUSED war criminal Charles Zentai has won his Federal Court appeal against extradition to Hungary. The 88-year-old Perth man is suspected of being one of three Nazi-backed Hungarian soldiers who murdered Jewish teenager Peter Balazs in Budapest in November 1944.

Hungary issued an arrest warrant for Mr Zentai, who lives in the southern Perth suburb of Willetton, in 2005. Mr Zentai denies involvement in Balazs's death, saying he was not in Budapest at the time. Lawyers for Mr Zentai argued the government was wrong to rule last year he could be extradited, because he had not been charged with any offence and was simply wanted for questioning by Hungarian authorities. The Federal Court in Perth today upheld Mr Zentai's appeal, saying Home Affairs Minister Brendan O'Connor's decision to allow extradition was beyond his jurisdiction.

Judge Neil McKerracher said war crime was not a qualifying extradition offence for which Mr Zentai could be surrendered for extradition. Additional reporting: AAP.

"Rebels" frustrated as Gadhafi loyalists resist assault on Bani Walid (From Ben Wedeman, CNN) - 11-sep-2011 September 10, 2011 - ....Opposition forces don't know how many Gadhafi loyalists are in the town, though they believe they are heavily armed with machine guns and rockets, said Abdulrahman Busin, an NTC spokesman.

Two of Gadhafi's sons -- Saif al-Islam and Mutassim -- have been previously reported to be there. On the back foot for the moment, the ragtag anti-Gadhafi forces are reconsidering their options and perhaps hoping that NATO will somehow clear the way for them and bring this long conflict to an end.

WASHINGTON — Despite pessimism that the war in Afghanistan is turning out to be a quagmire, Democrats controlling the House muscled through a plan Thursday to finance President Barack Obama's troop surge, but only after sweetening the measure with last-ditch moves to salvage their faltering jobs agenda.

Long delayed, the approximately $80 billion bill was passed amid building pressure on Democrats to act before their weeklong Fourth of July break begins. But the Senate approved a significantly slimmer measure in May and it'll take additional weeks to reconcile the differences between the two battling chambers. The crucial vote to advance the measure under unusually convoluted floor rules came on a 215-210 tally to bring up the nearly $60 billion Senate-passed measure for debate. Black lawmakers won add-ons of their own, including a $1 billion youth summer jobs initiative and money to pay discrimination claims by black farmers against the Agriculture Department.
