US pays to put catalytic converters on Mexican trucks Something you probably did not know. But why should American tax money be used to put catalytic converters on Mexican trucks? No wonder America is broke, and sinking, neck deep in debt and soon will be above our nose.

Terry Jones: Despite judges order, I will protest I disagree with this man, and I do not feel that protesting in such a way helps the cause of God, I think it hardens hearts towards God. Yet, it seem to me this state, judge, is violating this man's rights. I feel sure they would not try to stop Westboro Baptist Church of which our big court rued in favor of them disturbing the peace at soldiers funerals. Seems to me this is a case of respect of person, this judge protecting Islam in a way it would never protect Christianity nor our soldiers famlies.

House Democrat files suit forcing donor disclosure Obama's Secret Campaign Cash: Has $63 Million Flowed from Foreign Sources? A good example, one party will sue the other party for what the head of their party is accused of. Politics is a dirty nasty cutthroat business. There is plenty of double standards on both sides, and America suffers because of them.

LOUIS – St. Louis' main airport was closed for business Saturday while crews cleaned up after an apparent tornado tore through a terminal, causing several injuries and sending people scurrying for shelter as plated glass shattered around them. Friday evening's storm at Lambert-St. Louis International Airport ripped away a large section of the main terminal's roof, forcing the airport to close indefinitely and diverting incoming flights to other cities. Elsewhere around St. Louis, residents in suburbs were waking to damaged homes, fallen trees and down…

GOP: Looking for Mr. Right A weak President Obama benefits from opposition disarray By Brett M. Decker The Washington Times 8:09 p.m., Thursday, April 21, 2011 Barack Obama currently has the worst approval ratings of his presidency. According to a new survey from Rasmussen Reports, only 22 percent of Americans think the country is heading in the right direction. Three years into his term of office, only 25 percent of voters “strongly approve” of the job he’s doing. Having numbers so low should make it difficult to win four more years. Unfortunately, just because Mr. Obama is vulnerable doesn’t mean Republicans will take advantage of the political opportunity.…

I have just been watching a CBS news report that said antibiotics fed to farm animals were causing antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria in germs causing various problems in humans. We have banned antibiotics in farm animals feed for just this reason, but several years ago, the US was trying to to get us to import US meat which was banned for just that reason. We feel that the US has fave less stringent food standards than us.

Boehner hires top lawyer for fight over marriage law, sources say In part: "Not only are House Republican leaders defending the indefensible, they've brought in a high-priced attorney to deny federal recognition to loving, married couples," said Joe Solmonese, president of the Human Rights Campaign. "Speaker Boehner appears ready to go to great lengths, and the great expense of a high-power law firm, to try to score some cheap political points on the backs of same-sex couples."

Money Expert: We’ll Be in Recession By End of Yea With all the 'doom & gloom' that this nation is facing, if I did not know Christ, and know what was in store in our future, I don't think I could make it. That article said the record price of gas was set July 2008 at $4.11 per gallon, and it may not be long before its broken. A man that manages a trucking company that runs several hundred trucks told me if diesel fuel hit $5.00 per gallon by the years end, everyone had better get ready for extremely hard times to hit very quickly such as never seen by the people in this country. Those teachers up in Wisconsin that was crying to the Governor, and over the bill t…

FEC Investigators Digging Into Obama's 2008 Campaign I want foreign donations. I prefer foreiner's paper currency or direct deposit to my campaign fund for 2008 but, I'll accept change. (So the change he was talking about in '08 was more like the humorous comment I inserted above.)

Ariz. Senate OKs Presidential Birth Certificate Bill "Phoenix Democrat Sen. Kyrsten Sinema claimed the measure would not pass legal muster..." Please help me here, why would this man think this would not pass legal muster, being as a president must be a natural born citizen? I say good for Arizona. Yet it seems the law ought to be that they should have to prove citizenship before they can seek the nomination of a party. This like many others bills was passed on party lines the democrats were against it. it seems to me democrat party and its members always strongly oppose to laws of this country.
