TB OR WHAT TB?

So what's really up with the tuberculosis story? Why didn't Mr. Speaker's father-in-law, who works for the CDC, do more than just give the TB carrier "fatherly advice"? Did Speaker, and educated 31 year old public injury attorney, think the rules weren't for him? And why was he able to slip through Homeland Security's, uh "security".. which an official says "worked". Worked? Maybe in getting the word out about Speaker's disease, but that temporary secure feeling blown by a now-suspended agent who said "he didn't look sick to me"... so he let him into the US via Canada. Various parts of this story don't yet add up. Something stinketh... maybe in more than one place. Stay tuned. Here's what we know now:

THATS SOME GRATITUDE

The anti-American attitude on display at the Miss Universe pageant wasn't an isolated case. Here's the rest of the story: http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=NzdhZjFjMzNiMGFmM2U0MTZiMjUyZGU0MTM4MWMxZDU=

GET A GRIP, MR. PRESIDENT

As much as I support him on many issues, he's not paying attention to the concerns over the amnesty provisions of the Senate Bill: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/29/us/29cnd-immig.html?ei=5065&en=14d081ab7d03c8a7&ex=1181102400&partner=

MEMORIAL DAY 2007

It's time to remember: http://www.opinionjournal.com/extra/?id=110010133
Thank God for those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom... and let's pray for those who are on the line right now, fighting for our future. God bless them all.

I AGREE WITH AL GORE

OK, not often. And not on his global warming hysteria... but he's right about "trivial" stories in the media: www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=070525210259.epc45uh7&show_article=1

CYNTHIA SOMMER CASE UPDATE

She was soon to be sentenced in the death of her Marine husband... the final chapter in a sordid tale that included accounts of her using his life insurance money for breast enhancements and wild parties. Now there's been a delay: www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20070526/news_1m26sommer.html
We'll have the defense attorney live, in-studio on Tuesday's show... for the entire hour on AM 600 KOGO and www.kogo.com

ANOTHER BORDER CONCERN

There's been so much focus (rightfully so) on the southern border... but let's not forget what's happening up north: www.local6.com/news/13394746/detail.html?rss=orlpn&psp=news
Another reason to be concerned about.. libraries? (Well, in addition to the American Library Association's fight against internet safety for visiting kids, yes.)

BUH BYE ROSIE

Her out-of-control anti-Christian rant this week gives her an early exit from The View. Of course this was not her first verbal eruption. Thanks to our friends at the Media Research Center, here's a round-up of Rosie at her "best": www.mrc.org/Profiles/odonnell/welcome.asp

JOHN EDWARDS FOLLY

He says "global war on terror" is just a bumpersticker slogan. Uh, not so Mr. "Two Americas". Here's the latest chapter in our "What Terrorists Are Really All About" series:

SAN DIEGO SENDS A MESSAGE

The USS Nimitz and the Bonhomme Richard, both based in San Diego, join the USS Stennis in the Persian Gulf for exercises: http://apnews.myway.com/article/20070523/D8PA51600.html
And it sends a very nice "don't even think of trying anything" message to Ahmadinejad et al.

NOT A PENNY

Attorney James McElroy didn't win anything in the Mt. Soledad Memorial case. Now a judge says San Diego owes him a bunch of money anyway: www.signonsandiego.com/news/metro/20070522-9999-1n22cross.html Jim, your client has passed away, the Cross still stands as part of the Memorial (as it has since 1954) and is now protected by the Federal government so please... just stop. And the City shouldn't have to pay you a penny. But have a nice day.

THIS HELPS

The Senate slows down the rush to immigration insanity: http://apnews.myway.com/article/20070522/D8P960OG1.html
It's a good sign... so far.

NICE TRY JIMMY

On NBC this morning, ex-Prez Carter admits his comments about GWB were "careless":http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18759682/ But the comments were consistent with the anti-America statements he makes on a regular basis. This wasn't an accident or a fluke "oops".

THE WHITE HOUSE FIRES BACK

Calls Jimmy Carter irrelevant: http://wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=55793
Amen.

ATTENTION UNDOCUMENTED WORKERS!

It's not "amnesty" ... but it is capitulation, according to our friend Mark Steyn (author of America Alone):
www.suntimes.com/news/steyn/393216,CST-EDT-steyn20.article
It's an excellent (and often funny) review of where we are in the latest convoluted immigration plan. And this piece should inspire you to call your members of Congress right away. Time to stop the insanity.

TERRORISTS GET THE HIGH TECH VOTE

Palestinians cast their online votes about killing a hostage: http://newsbusters.org/node/12888

CONDUCT UNBECOMING... AGAIN

Jimmy Carter does it again: http://apnews.myway.com/article/20070519/D8P7L0K80.html
Not the best behavior for a former President. Sure, he does nice things to help poor people from time to time, but he's become an even more miserable failure as a leader. Imagine his ego if he'd won a second term.

MORE PERSPECTIVE (from AP NEWS article on the story): Douglas Brinkley, a Tulane University presidential historian and Carter biographer, described Carter's comments as unprecedented. "This is the most forceful denunciation President Carter has ever made about an American president," Brinkley said. "When you call somebody the worst president, that's volatile. Those are fighting words."

DON'T BE FOOLED

SENATORS ARE SMILING... BEWARE

The Hero of Chappaquiddick spews about the Senate "immigration reform" (translation: amnesty) bill. Here's the transcript of his remarks: www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/05/17/AR2007051701518.html

INSANITY

The Senate fast-tracks the latest "let's pretend it's not amnesty for illegals" bill:
http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8P6984G1&show_article=1
This is crazy. They know it, and hope you won't notice. It's all about new voters, more power and avoiding taking courageous steps to do the right thing.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION UPDATE

REV. JERRY FALWELL, RIP

He was a controversial figure but a strong advocate for Christianity. He leaves a great legacy, and one that most Americans aren't even aware of... especially if all they've seen of him is the left's stereotype. Here's more perspective: www.cnsnews.com/ViewNation.asp?Page=/Nation/archive/200705/NAT20070515b.html

SPREADING HIS JOY

Now Ahmadinejad spews his hatred in Dubai, of all places... a spot that is supposed to be relaxed in terms of Islamic pressure on Westerners and other tourists: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070514/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iran_us_6
Mahmoud and Venezuela's Hugo Chavez must be wanted as they jaunt around the globe spreading their extremist, dangerous views.

OUTCOME-BASED EDUCATION

It's not the actual math (and accuracy) say the "experts", but how you feel about the result. Maybe that's Obama's problem: www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8P0K1FG2&show_article=1

HOW MANY MORE ARE OUT THERE?

No one knows for sure. But terrorists are inside the USA, plotting, planning. Some homegrown, most likely coming in over our open borders. Today we "dodged a bullet": http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewNation.asp?Page=/Nation/archive/200705/NAT20070508c.html
How many more bullets are out there? And shouldn't we call this what it is? Terrorism based in extreme forms of Islamism? This should be a very sharp wake up call for America. But will our leaders show some strength on this issue or be caught up in a new wave of political correctness?
Let's call it what it is.

LESSONS FROM FRANCE

The election of the first conservative President in many years has set the French on a brave new course: lower taxes, personal accountability, less socialism (get off the couch, people!): http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=070507102442.ylgq09dm&show_article=1
Of course this is going to drive the left crazy. Isn't it interesting that other countries are turning toward the right (even Sweden is talking tax cuts) while the U.S. is led by the Sons of the '60s who would love to go where France has been in the last couple of decades. Hope they're all paying attention to what's been learned the hard way over there.

WE'VE LOST AN AMERICAN HERO

Walter M. "Wally" Schirra, Jr. has passed away at age 84. Not only was he one of the original seven U.S. astronauts, he was also the only person to fly Mercury, Gemini and Apollo missions.
Not only was he a true space pioneer, he stayed current on the issues and was active until the end. I'm honored to have counted him as a friend for many years, as we worked together on his speaking engagements and through the San Diego Air & Space Museum (he first got me involved in the Museum, where I still serve on the Board of Directors... as he did for years). Here's more information about the life and valiant career of Captain Wally Schirra:
