Undocumented student's arrest called part of 'civil rights disaster "In a statement Wednesday night, COBb County Sheriff Neil Warren said, "Ms. Colotl knew that she was in the United States without authority to be here and voluntarily chose to operate a vehicle without a driver's license, which is a violation of Georgia law.

This disaster is a great tragedy. Julian, my son in law wo is a senior buildings surveyor for Westmister City Council which is next to the borough of Kensington where the recent apartment fire disaster happened. He was late home this evening as he had to attend a joint meeting with Kensington officers, regarding the situation of similar tower blocks. May seems so uncaring. She will have to go.

This is a couple of months old, but I just found it today while researching something else ... More Baptist pastors adopt bishop title Boston Herald July 21, 2010 The Rev. John M. Borders III approached the pulpit at Morning Star Baptist Church on a recent Sunday wearing his usual suit and tie. He adjusted his glasses, as he often does, and proceeded to deliver to the packed sanctuary a thunderstorm of a sermon on a theme from Revelation: “No more delays!’’ In the pews, some sOBbed. Some shouted, "Yes, Lord!" Some just breathed, until Borders concluded with a hushed prayer. The only outward sign that something was different was the new ring on the pastor's fing…

This week a good pastor friend of mine, Pastor Jeff Cox went to be with the Lord. Jeff was the pastor of the East Sunsbury Baptist Church in Beallsvile, …

On Wenesday May 22 ca. 2:30 P.M. two muslim terrorists ran over a British soldier just meters away from his barrack in south-east London. Once on the floor they beheaded him and continued stabbing him at least 17 times after taking his body in the middle of the street. The whole action punctuated by "allah akhbar" and call to the many absolutely horrified witnesses (among them young school children) to take pictures and filming the scene. My question : how long will our only true and living God allow such demonic demonstrations ! Read more here : The Daily Telegraph

I'm confused. Does McCain have a running mate already? Because for all the media is reporting, the only running mate that is newsworthy is whoever Obama picks. Even Fox News..."fair and balanced"....is all about Obama's running mate. What gives?

Taking sides! Is it just because they are run by a bunch of commies or is it because they are pragmatists and they see what is waiting for them if they don't begin speaking out? http://voxday.blogspot.com/2015/02/shots-across-bow.html#comment-form I thought I would post this also because I have been noticing in the past few years that not only the American government but the American people have forgotten what can possibly happen because of government actions. http://thebulletin.org/what-would-happen-if-800-kiloton-nuclear-warhead-detonated-above-midtown-manhattan8023

We're seeing more and more of this. I think many in this country are sick and tired of hearing how our rights are weighing in the balance. Health care is not the only issue at stake. Another man brought a weapon in New Hampshire and I think more and more will be expressing their rights. I was shocked to see it was very nicely dressed African American gentleman expressing his right to bear arms. There's a video on the link below. Hopefully, some of the congress and senate will get the message. I'd like to hear others views on the matter. Here's the thread where I read it: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090817/ap_on_re_us/us_obama_protesters_guns;_ylt=ApIxm59kTqusA…
