   Republican presidential contest suddenly heats up By APRIL CASTRO - Associated Press,PHILIP ELLIOTT - Associated Press | AP – Sat, May 28, 2011.. . WASHINGTON (AP) — The still unsettled race for the Republican nomination to challenge President Barack Obama in 2012 is getting more interesting. After months of resisting calls to join the contest, Texas Gov. Rick Perry said Friday he would consider it. That could reshape the GOP field, adding a sitting governor who has never lost an election. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin also sent a jolt through the party with the announcement of a campaign-style bus tour along the East Coast, the latest possible contender to stand…

   2011 now deadliest year for tornadoes since 1950 By NOMAAN MERCHANT - Associated Press | AP – 1 hour 39 minutes ago.. . JOPLIN, Mo.

Thousands more people far beyond Joplin had been waiting for good news about a teen believed to have been ejected or sucked from his vehicle on the way home from graduation. Several social-networking efforts specifically focused on finding information about Will Norton. But his family says he, too,…

   Ron Paul: I Would Not Have Ordered Bin Laden Raid It was absolutely not necessary," Paul said of the May 1 CIA-led Navy SEALs raid. The Texas congressman questioned whether Obama could have gotten away with the operation if Usama bin Laden had been in a country other than Pakistan. "What if he had been in a hotel in London?" Paul said on Newsradio 1040 WHO. "So would we have sent the ... helicopters into London because they were afraid the information would get out? No, you don't want to do that." Paul said the United States should have gone after bin Laden the same way it went after Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, architect of the Sept. 11 attacks, by working with the P…

   Thought I would share a youtube video of the tornado that went about 1 mile from my house. If you watch it please mute it as there is a bad word at 1:23. But the video is amazing. I would not be a storm chaser for anything. These came way to close to a huge tornado. Also pray for those around us who have lost their homes. There were 5 families in our little community that lost their homes. and we were just the beginning as it tracked for many miles and took out many homes!!

   'Bibi' Votes Republican By Patrick J. Buchanan Tuesday - May 24, 2011 Not since Nikita Khrushchev berated Dwight Eisenhower over Gary Powers' U-2 spy flight over Russia only weeks earlier has an American president been subjected to a dressing down like the one Barack Obama received from Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday. With this crucial difference. Khrushchev ranted behind closed doors, and when Ike refused to apologize, blew up the Paris summit hosted by President de Gaulle. Obama, however, was lectured like some schoolboy in the Oval Office in front of the national press and a worldwide TV audience. And two days later, he trooped over to the Israeli lobby AIPAC t…

    Stench from waste facility overwhelms Calif. town I personally feel they give Indian reservations to much freedom, they should be under the same laws as all other citizens. I feel sure if your children and or home was affected by such a thing you would want the government to take actions and stop it.

    Israel in a Post-American Era By Patrick J. Buchanan Tuesday - May 19, 2011 In 1918, the United States proved militarily decisive in the defeat of the Kaiser's Germany and emerged as first power on earth. World War II, ending in 1945, produced two truly victorious nations, the Soviet Union of Joseph Stalin and the America of Harry Truman. Out of the Cold War that lasted from Truman to the disintegration of the Soviet Empire and breakup of the Soviet Union at the end of Ronald Reagan's term came a lone victor: the last superpower, the United States. Who emerged triumphant from the post-Cold War era, 1991-2011? Indisputably, it is China, whose 10-12 percent annu…

    Trump says no to presidential run By DAVID BAUDER and BETH FOUHY, Associated Press – 2 hrs 1 min ago NEW YORK – After months of flirting with politics, Donald Trump said Monday he won't run for president, choosing to stick with hosting "The Celebrity Apprentice" over a bid for the Republican nomination. The reality TV star and real estate mogul made his announcement at a Manhattan hotel as NBC, which airs his show, rolled out its fall lineup. "I will not be running for president as much as I'd like to," Trump said. Trump's office released a formal statement just as he was taking the stage. In it, a confident Trump said he felt he could win the Republican prim…

    US Faces Financial Armageddon "The news media in this country are in a stupor. Either out of ignorance, or complete leftist bias to protect their socialist hero President Barack Obama, they have turned a blind eye toward the enormous disaster facing our economy. The greatest Ponzi scheme in world history is coming to an end, leaving America on the precipice of economic Armageddon. Legendary Wall Street investor Stanley Druckenmiller is calling the Fed’s bond purchases a fraud and a Ponzi scheme. Druckenmiller says, “There is a phony buyer of $19 billion per week of Treasury Bonds.” The phony buyer he refers to is the U.S. government. Druckenmiller knows that when …

    .. Bin Laden raid almost went terribly wrong By KIMBERLY DOZIER - AP Intelligence Writer | AP – Tue, May 17, 2011.. . . . Those who planned the secret mission to get Osama bin Laden in Pakistan knew it was a one-shot deal, and it nearly went terribly wrong. The U.S. deliberately hid the operation from Pakistan, and predicted that national outrage over the breach of Pakistani sovereignty would make it impossible to try again if the raid on bin Laden's suspected redoubt came up dry. Once the raiders reached their target, things started to go awry almost immediately, officials briefed on the operation said. Adding exclusive new details to the account of the assa…

    We have just had the hottest April since records began. They say some areas have had only one tenth of the usual April rain. I would think that we have had far less than that. We may have had a bit at the beginning of the month but for the last ½, we had a light shower lasting about 2 minutes. Our garden is very dry and cracking, we have almost run out of stored rainwater, so we are saving washing and showering water for the garden.

    Gingrich Backs Obamacare's Individual Mandate Requiring Health Insurance Oh no, he want5s to make, force, everyone to buy health insurance. I might add, the only thing I see wrong with auto insurance is, we should not have to buy insurance on ever car we own, just on ourself, them be insured no matter what car we drive. Making us have it on every auto we have is a money making racket.
