President George W. Bush has bestowed on his intelligence czar, John Negroponte, broad authority, in the name of national security, to excuse publicly traded companies from their usual accounting and securities-disclosure obligations. Notice of the development came in a brief entry in the Federal Register, dated May 5, 2006, that was opaque to the untrained eye.

The Senators who sold us out! (Illegal Immigration Bill votes)
Here is who voted on the HORRIBLE senate illegal immigration bill (S.2611) and how they voted. REMEMBER THIS during the next Senate elections!
Here are the scumbags who sold us out to the illegals and NEED TO BE VOTED OUT!!!!
Here are the Senators that DID NOT sell us out to the illegals.
Despite how horrible the republicans have been, this is why I'll still vote republican when the choices are only a republican and a democrat:
38 democrat senators sold us out, 2 abstained (sold us out) and only 4 voted in our intrests. Therefore 91% of the democrat senators sold us out!
23 Republicans sold us out with no abstained votes verses 32 republican who voted in the interest of us citzens. Therefore only 41% of the republicans sold us out.
Let me repeat this: 91% of the democrats betrayed us Americans verses 41% of the republicans.
I have learned throughout my life that democrats are evil almost 100% of the time whereas republicans are evil about half the time.
Here's the senate record of the vote.

Illinois screwing Americans FOR illegals!
Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D) has used his executive powers to create a state-backed low-interest mortgage loan program for illegal aliens!
Illegals get lower than market rate mortgages subsidized by the American taxpayer!
The program is called "Opportunity I-Loans" and should be a wake-up call for the citizen of Illinois to do a government house-cleaning in the next few elections!

Some people are more equal than others...
Thomas Sowell hit's another home run with his Bordering on fraud series of articles.
Today he points out how Americans are royally screwed by illegal amnesty:
Some people are worried that amnesty will give illegal aliens the same rights that American citizens have. In reality, it will give the illegals more rights than the average American citizen.
Since most of the illegals are Mexican, that makes them a minority. Under affirmative action, combined with amnesty, they would have preferences in jobs and other benefits.
Those who set up their own businesses would be entitled to preferences in getting government contracts. Their children would be able to get into college ahead of the children of American citizens with better academic qualifications.
Other comparisons:
COLLEGE COSTS: Illegals who graduate from a high school in California can already attend the University of California, paying lower tuition that an American citizen from neighboring Oregon.
BACK TAXES: Under the supposedly "tough" immigration bill in the U.S. Senate, illegals don't have to pay all the back taxes they owe. An American citizen gets no such break from the government and can end up in federal prison, like Al Capone.
TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS: If an American citizen gets stopped by the police for a traffic violation and the cops discover that he is wanted for some other violation of the law, they can arrest him for whatever else he has done. But if an illegal alien gets stopped for going through a red light and the police discovers that he is in the country illegally, in many communities the cop is forbidden to arrest him for that -- or even to report him to the feds.
DOCUMENT FORGERY: If an American citizen forges a Social Security card in order to get a job, he can be arrested. Under a provision recently passed by the Senate, illegal aliens who forged Social Security cards not only get a pass, they get to collect Social Security benefits.

Three attackers use pit bull to rob man
From NBC12 News
Richmond police are looking for three attackers they say used a dog to rob a man.
It happened in broad daylight in the alley between 32nd and 33rd streets. Authorities say three men came up to the 34-year-old victim Friday, armed with nothing but a snarling pit bull.
The victim tried to run away but was quickly corned in the alley and then allegedly kicked and beaten in the face.
"A woman heard this commotion and someone yelling ‘get them off me, get them off me,’ and she approached and the suspects took off," said Kirsten Nelson with Richmond Police.
The thieves got away with cash and a few belongings. A witness describes the dog as a light brown pit bull.
Anyone with information, please call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 780-1000.
Do you notice anything odd about this article??? Hint: they sure have a description of the dog.... But it's not PC to give a description of the three criminals!

The Republicans are screwing us again!
Large telecoms are trying to shaft us by making us pay extra money for internet connections we already have paid for based on traffic. They want to sell the fastest connection to the highest bidders.
The idea of Net Neutrality is to keep the internet freely open to anyone and prevent the telecoms from screwing us further. Too bad that the Republicans have just defeated an admendment in the House that would help keep the internet neutral and open to everyone.
Here's the link: Democrats lose House vote on Net neutrality

Companies face RICO lawsuits on illegals
GOOD NEWS!!!
In legal cases with potential repercussions for businesses and employees, current and former workers are accusing U.S. companies of violating immigration law and driving down wages.
The federal lawsuits — against carpet maker Mohawk Industries, Tyson Foods, retailer Wal-Mart, and others — are winding their way through appeals courts. The Mohawk case will be argued today before the U.S. Supreme Court.
The class-action lawsuits were filed by plaintiffs under the RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) statute, typically used against organized crime.
Under RICO, if a business engages in an enterprise of racketeering activity, it could be found liable for triple damages and attorneys' fees and face criminal prosecution.

Jobs Americans won't do!?!
An employment service in Mobile, Ala., recently received an "urgent request" to fill 270 job openings from contractors who were hired to rebuild and clear areas of Alabama devastated by Hurricane Katrina. The agency immediately sent 70 laborers and construction workers to three job sites.
After two weeks on the job, the men were fired by employers who told them "the Mexicans had arrived" and were willing to work for lower wages. The U.S. citizens had been promised $10 an hour, but the employers preferred Mexicans who would work for less. Employment agency manager Linda Swope told The Washington Times: "When they told the guys they would not be needed, they actually cried ... and we cried with them. This is a shame."

GOP Leaders to Drop Felony for Immigrants
The two top Republicans in Congress, confronted with internal party divisions as well as large public demonstrations, said Tuesday they intend to pass immigration legislation that does not subject illegal immigrants to prosecution as felons.
A written statement by House Speaker Dennis Hastert of Illinois and Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist of Tennessee, did not say whether they would seek legislation subjecting illegal immigrants to misdemeanor prosecution or possibly a civil penalty such as a fine.
Looks like the government is selling us out again.

Military recruiters, confronted by crowd, leave campus job fair - Anti-war protesters at university block doors to building
Four military recruiters hastily fled a job fair Tuesday morning at UC Santa Cruz after a raucous crowd of student protesters blocked an entrance to the building where the Army and National Guard had set up information tables.
Members of Students Against War, who organized the counter-recruiting protest, loudly chanted "Don't come back. Don't come back" as the recruiters left the hilltop campus, escorted by several university police officers.
These little twerps are the exact people who would come running to the military guys and beg protection if their lives were in danger.

Micro$oft's new law - they can spy on you.
Our favorite monopoly is at it again! Oklahoma's House Bill 2083 will allow Miscr$oft (and anyone else) the right to invade your computer and see what you have been doing.
From the article-
"...the freedom to come onto your computer for “detection or prevention of the unauthorized use of or fraudulent or other illegal activities in connection with a network, service, or computer software, including scanning for and removing computer software prescribed under this act.”
That means that Microsoft (or another company with such software) can erase spyware or viruses. But if you have, say, a pirated copy of Excel — Microsoft (or companies with similar software) can erase it, or anything else they want to erase, and not be held liable for it. Additionally, that phrase “fraudulent or other illegal activities” means they can:
—Let the local district attorney know that you wrote a hot check last month.
—Let the attorney general know that you play online poker.
—Let the tax commission know you bought cartons of cigarettes and didn’t pay the state tax on them.
—Read anything on your hard drive, such as your name, home address, personal identification code, passwords, Social Security number … etc., etc., etc."

Illegals to get rewards for breaking the law!
Senate leaders on Thursday announced a bipartisan compromise on an overhaul of U.S. immigration laws, giving some illegal immigrants a path to citizenship and creating a temporary worker program.
TRANSLATION: We are giving amnesty again even though it didn't work in the 80s.
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, a Tennessee Republican, appeared with Reid and said "We have a great opportunity to deliver to the American people what they expect, what they deserve," a comprehensive border security and immigration reform bill.
TRANSLATION: We have again ignored the law, what is best for the country and the will of the people.
The deal, which would include a temporary worker program backed by President George W. Bush, would allow illegal immigrants who have been in the United States more than five years a chance to become citizens if they meet a series of requirements and paid a fine. Other rules would apply to people in the country less than five years.
TRANSLATION: Bush get's his amnesty program, the illegals get their rewards and we are giving the US people lip service because we have 'an icecube's chance in hell' of ever collecting the fines or keeping more illegals out.
"We still have obstacles ahead," said Sen. John McCain, an Arizona Republican who helped lead the debate.
TRANSLATION: The US citizens are still going to bitch but, we can easily ignore them. We have been elected, they haven't.
The Senate compromise would give illegal immigrants who had been in the United States less than five years but more than two years a chance to obtain a temporary work visa. They would have to leave the country and reapply to come back. Those who had been in the country less than two years would not be legalized.
TRANSLATION: EVERYONE gets amnesty because there are no workable provisions to get rid of the 'less than two years' illegals nor keep new ones out. It's status quo.

Republicans give big telcos a victory against us little people.
A Republican dominated sub-committee killed an telecommunications law amendment that would prevent the big telcos from giving some internet traffic preferential treatment.
In a 23-8 vote, the subcommittee defeated an amendment proposed by Rep. Ed Markey (D-MA) that would have enshrined the principle of network neutrality into US law. Such legislation would have prevented telcos and other ISPs from selectively throttling or passing through IP traffic on their networks. In a statement (QuickTime) read before the committee, Rep. Markey said that the bill as written would "fundamentally alter the Internet" and that it would preventing the FCC from translating its policy against Broadband Internet Transmission Services providers hindering "lawful content" into "something it could effectively enforce."

'Our Federal Wallet Stretched To Limit By Illegal Aliens Getting Welfare'
From DrudgeReport:
FLASHBACK: Dem Senate Leader Harry Reid: 'Our Federal Wallet Stretched To Limit By Illegal Aliens Getting Welfare'
'Even worse, Americans have seen heinous crimes committed by individuals who are here illegally'
August 5, 1993
The Office of Sen. Harry Reid issued the following:
Currently, an alien living illegally in the United States often pays no taxes but receives unemployment, welfare, free medical care and other federal benefits. Recent terrorist acts, including the World Trade Center bombing, have underscored the need to keep violent criminals out of the country.
"We are a country founded upon fairness and justice," Reid said. "An individual in real threat of torture or long-term incarceration because of his or her political beliefs can still seek asylum. But this bill closes the door to those who want to abuse America's inherent generosity and legal system."
"Our borders have overflowed with illegal immigrants placing tremendous burdens on our criminal justice system, schools and social programs," Reid said. "The Immigration and Naturalization Service needs the ability to step up enforcement.
"Our federal wallet is stretched to the limit by illegal aliens getting welfare, food stamps, medical care and other benefits often without paying any taxes.
"Safeguards like welfare and free medical care are in place to boost Americans in need of short-term assistance. These programs were not meant to entice freeloaders and scam artists from around the world. "Even worse, Americans have seen heinous crimes committed by individuals who are here illegally," Reid said.

McCain immigration views upsets Union members
It seems that McCain's solution to illegals upset some union workers mainly due to the fact that his 'solution' isn't a solution.
McCain's proposal is to give the illegals amnesty (despite his claims, it's still amnesty). The laughable highlight of his plan requires every illegal to pay a $2000 fine! On one hand you have the government claiming that they can't keep track of all the illegals to round them up but then they are sure they can keep track of them enough to get $2000 from each! This plan could ONLY come from Washington (or California).
Here's the article about the pissed off Union workers.

Dr. Wafa Sultan the Bill Cosby of Islam...
Today, thanks to an unusually blunt and provocative interview on Al Jazeera television on Feb. 21, she is an international sensation, hailed as a fresh voice of reason by some, and by others as a heretic and infidel who deserves to die.
In the interview, which has been viewed on the Internet more than a million times and has reached the e-mail of hundreds of thousands around the world, Dr. Sultan bitterly criticized the Muslim clerics, holy warriors and political leaders who she believes have distorted the teachings of Muhammad and the Koran for 14 centuries.
She said the world's Muslims, whom she compares unfavorably with the Jews, have descended into a vortex of self-pity and violence.
