An Argument in Support of the Trump Trend
By Jack Kerwick, Ph.D. · Friday, April 22, 2011
Latest polls show that if Donald Trump isn't tied with the GOP's presidential contenders, he is ahead of them. Trump is rapidly gaining momentum. For several reasons, those voters who are disenchanted with the Washington politics of both parties should consider contributing to this trend -- assuming, of course, that Trump runs.
First, the legions of Republicans who sat out the elections of '06 and '08 can take comfort from the fact that Donald Trump would be the sole contender for their party's presidential nomination who has explicitly and unequivocally rejected "Bush Republicanism." Trump has even gone so far as to identify Barack Obama's election as President Bush's legacy.
In this regard, he will stand in stark contrast with his competitors. Although every other Republican claims to have learned his lesson from the party's betrayal of its constituents during the last decade, beyond some indeterminate references to "out of control spending," no one has of yet specified any respects in which they will differentiate themselves from their predecessors.
Second, it isn't just Republicans who should be consoled from Trump's willingness to call out the GOP's former standard bearer. "Moderates," "independents," and even disaffected Democrats should derive some satisfaction from this as well. Trump's unabashed eschewal of the "compassionate conservatism" -- that is to say, Big Government philosophy -- of President Bush and his Republican-dominated Congress promises to resonate with non-Republicans. On the other hand, the general and abstract regret over past spending excesses expressed by other Republicans is likely to strike these voters as insincere.
Third, some of what Trump says should appeal to most Americans. While he expresses (at best) skepticism regarding the nation-building enterprise upon which our government has embarked, he insists that if America wages war, it is imperative that it be in its material self-interest to do so: if we have to go into Iraq, say, we had better confiscate its oil supplies in order to compensate ourselves. What this means is that for utopian foreign policy visions of the sort that characterize our generation, Trump hasn't a modicum of sympathy.
Moreover, Trump also thinks that Americans would be better off if some of our soldiers could spend their time contending with dangers, not a world way, but right along our southern border.
Fourth, Trump has legitimized the so-called "birther" phenomenon by drawing some much overdue attention to the mystery that continues to surround Obama's birth certificate. And during an interview with Sean Hannity this past week, he also went some distance toward dismantling the media-created image of Obama the Intellectual by asserting the thesis, compellingly advanced by no one more so than Jack Cashill, that it is actually Bill Ayers who authored Obama's first book. Trump pointed out the dramatic compositional differences between the president's memoirs, and reminded viewers that for all of the talk of Obama's brilliance, we have virtually nothing in the way of scholastic records or scholarship on which to base this assessment.
From a crippling fear of being excoriated by an Obama-friendly media, no other Republican dares to touch upon these topics.
This brings me to the last and, what I take to be, perhaps the most important reason for why Republicans and conservatives should consider supporting Trump.
As has often been said, perception is reality in politics. And in our camera-happy times, style and image matter more than ever. Republican politicians are all too aware of this. They are also aware, painfully aware, of the fact that much of the media upon which they rely is dominated by people who despise their politics. So, to prevent being excoriated, Republicans -- Republican presidential candidates, especially -- are meticulously careful about what they say and how they say it. However, while such caution is understandable, it invariably proves to be an exercise in futility, for the unfair treatment that they dread inexorably comes to fruition.
Trump has no fear of the leftist media. Why should he? From years of being in their spotlight, Trump has mastered the art of manipulating the media to his advantage. Besides this, considering that he has undoubtedly contributed more to the coffers of Democratic politicians than to those of Republicans', there is no way that the usual suspects could so much as hope to portray him as a crazed right-wing extremist. And given his stupendous success, they certainly can't depict him as stupid.
If Trump ever received the GOP's nomination, he would achieve what no Republican, presidential nominee or president, in recent times has been able to achieve: he would win the public relations war. The importance of this can't be overstated.
For the foregoing reasons, then, I hope the Trump trend grows.

The Judas Media
The Judas Media
By Michael Oberndorf, RPA · Tuesday, April 26, 2011
The badly misnomered "mainstream" media have been outdoing themselves lately in their efforts to bring down capitalist America, as the propaganda machine of the neo-fascist left. The notion that they are even aware of mainstream American thought is a Big Lie, in and of itself. The radical leftists whose agenda they push amount to at most 20 percent of Americans, although calling these traitors American is an insult to the rest of us.
Over the past few weeks, the propaganda machine has worked overtime to make it seem like the miniscule and largely symbolic cuts to the Obama-Soetoro/Reid/Pelosi/Soros budget were on par with the Holocaust or the Turkish Armenian genocide. They uncritically parroted every insane, wild charge, every lie, that any wacko Democrat chose to make, and largely suppressed the truth of the cuts and the so-called "compromise" until after the fact, when the damage had been done. Joseph Goebbels must have been smiling in Hell, seeing how well his lessons have been learned by the present generation of "journalists."
Continuing on, the propaganda masters are out to sell Americans another huge lie: that if they don't let the neo-fascists raise the debt ceiling -- again -- the world will end. It appears probable that allowing the Democrats and their running dog Republican allies, i.e., the Republican "leadership" and "moderates," to continue borrowing and spending will pretty much guarantee that the double-dip recession we've been warned about will indeed happen. Though the media are either ignoring it or trying to put a positive spin on it, we, who have to pay for it with middle class wages, are already seeing inflation accelerating at an alarming rate. And what do we get from the media? The radical enviro spin that higher gas prices are getting us to drive less, lowering our phony carbon footprint. And the Obama-Soetoro reaction to $5 a gallon gas? Investigate the people who produce and sell it, rather than change his and the Democrat's policies that have caused the problem in the first place. This "courageous" stance, of course, is trumpeted from the minarets...er...the rooftops by the media, with no mention that if we had been drilling in ANWAR, off California, in the Gulf, and in a zillion other places put off-limits by our phony "environmental" laws, we would not be in this fix.
However, what is reported is not the only sin the neo-fascist propaganda machine is guilty of. What is NOT reported is perhaps even more damaging, since you can't influence or stop what you don't know about. For instance, let's see a show of hands of those out there who were aware of a major economic conference attended by China, Russia, India, Brazil, and South Africa -- representing around half the total population of the world -- that discussed, in depth:
"...reform and improvement of the international monetary system, with a broad-based international reserve currency system providing stability and certainty. We welcome the current discussion about the role of the SDR in the existing international monetary system including the composition of SDR's basket of currencies." (http://www.brasil.gov.br/news/history/2011/04-1/15-1/leaders-of-brazil-russia-india-china-and-south-africa-released-a-joint-document-at-the-brics-leaders-meeting-in-china/newsitem_view?set_language=en)
This a tactful way of saying they are seriously looking at dumping the dollar as the world's reserve currency. And they are not the only ones, but you aren't hearing about the others, either.
Let's have one more show of hands: How many of you have heard about the economic conferences that multi-billionaire, sociopathic America-hater, and head neo-fascist, George Soros is putting on? News of these confabs has been sparse in the conservative media, and virtually non-existent in the "mainstream." As many of you already know, George Soros is a committed, unrepentant fascist who got his start "confiscating" the property and belongings of his fellow Jews during the Nazi domination of Europe. He has publicly stated, "The main obstacle to a stable and just world order is the United States..." He brought down the British pound in 1992, making billions in the process, and appears to be out to do the same with the U.S. dollar. And though the CEO of PBS will be in attendance at the Bretton Wood conference (note the oh-so-symbolic location), has anyone heard even a mention of this? You would think that people planning to foment an unprecedented economic disaster that will destroy the lives of millions of poor and middle class people, all over the world, would be something the ever-so-compassionate-and-caring leftist media would be interested in, but apparently not. It seems that, as always, the ends justify the means, and collateral damage only counts when stopping it will hurt the enemies of fascism.
Much as the "mainstream" media hate Christianity and Christians, they seem to have learned at least a little from the Bible. Their imitation of Judas, and the selling out of those who have nurtured them, and made their freedom possible, is near perfect.

Father’s race on the Obama birth certificate - only a curiosity or a smoking gun
He does not meet the natural born citizen clause of the Constitution
Father’s race on the Obama birth certificate: only a curiosity or a smoking gun?
Lawrence Sellin Tuesday, April 26, 2011
I would like to begin by stating unequivocally that, for me, it does not matter if Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawaii because he has never been eligible to be President. He does not meet the natural born citizen clause of the Constitution i.e. born in the United States, of parents who were both U.S. citizens at the time of the candidate’s birth.
I admit that I am not, by any stretch of the imagination, an expert on birth documents nor am I terribly familiar with the details of the current birth certificate controversy.
Nevertheless, there is one thing that I don’t quite understand.
On the Certification of Live Birth (COLB), now widely available on the internet, Obama’s father’s race is listed as “African.”
First, “African” usually defines a location not a race.
Second, the common usage for the race of black Africans in 1961 would have been “Negro” or “Negroid.”
Third, “African” is not listed as a race in the federal Office of Management and Budget policy documents (1977, 1997).
For the sake of argument, let’s say that the terminology is peculiar to Hawaii and Obama filed a Late Certificate of Birth or perhaps his documents were updated in recent years.
In that case, the publicly available COLB must reflect what is written on the source birth documents, even updated ones.
In Appendix B “Hawaii Model – Standard for Clustering Race/Ethnicity Categories” contained in an article published in 2003 by employees of the Hawaii Department of Health, the word “African” appears as an “Aggregated Ethnic Group” under the race category “Black (non-Hispanic)”. That differs from the categories in Appendix A, which apparently represented an earlier version and did not contain the word “African.”
Unless I am mistaken, that information might suggest that Barack Obama’s birth data were updated around 2003 or thereafter.
I don’t know. Just asking. Perhaps someone can enlighten me.

Case closed? Not so fast
Obama long form Certificate of Live Birth
Case closed? Not so fast
Doug Hagmann & Joseph Hagmann Wednesday, April 27, 2011
That giant whooshing sound you hear of “birther” balloons popping with the purported release of the infamous Obama long form Certificate of Live Birth should be met with the level of skepticism it most definitely deserves. Already, there is well deserved controversy swirling about its authenticity, and legitimate questions are being raised about the timing of the release. You can bet that experts representing both camps pertaining to the certificate’s authenticity will have much to say about this document. Regardless, the newly released document does nothing to address the core constitutional issue of eligibility to hold the office of the President of the United States.
It is unfortunate that the entire debate ultimately evolved into a myopic gaze that became focused on Obama’s long form birth certificate, as that is merely one aspect of the question concerning eligibility. It is equally unfortunate that the corporate media, shills for Obama and those who fail to understand or deliberately misrepresent the issue will now consider the case “closed.” It is anything but closed.
As we reported in an article titled The unraveling of Barry Soetoro – the sequel, we point out that “[t]he issue is much greater than the birth certificate or where Obama was physically born, as he could have been born in the Lincoln bedroom during the Kennedy administration and still be ineligible to hold the office of president under Article II, Section I, Clause 5 of the United States Constitution. As for the definition of a “Natural Born Citizen” referenced in the constitution, we note that our founders determined that future presidents must be born to two parents who are both U.S. citizens as further defined by the legal reference “The Law of Nations or the Principals of Natural Law.”
The reasoning has to do with allegiance to one country - the United States of America. Given the current state of the U.S. as a world power and the problems we face today, can you not see what our founding fathers were warning against? Obama cannot simultaneously be a “citizen of the world,” an apologist for our great country, and the leader of our great nation.
Something sinister is indeed afoot, and the majority of people are falling for it. Don’t be one of them.

Washington Times columnist calls for release of Obama birth certificate
CFP Long form birth record is only part of the story - Doug Hagmann Wednesday, April 13, 2011 The article published yesterday by The Washington Times, written by Jeffrey T. Kuhner carries the following headline : KUHNER: Trump poll triumph built on doubting Obama’s birth, followed by [the] President should just release full birth documentation ending legitimacy questions. We agree, although most people fail to realize that the veil of secrecy extends well beyond Obama’s refusal to release his birth records. As pointed out by Mr. Kuhner, candidate Obama promised transparency in his administration, yet as the President has been the most secretive president in U.S. history since Richard Nixon. The authenticated long form birth certificate is but one of numerous other documents that we call to be released, including the following: “All passport records (both personal and diplomatic), Obama kindergarten records, Punahou School records, Occidental College records, Columbia University records, Columbia thesis, Harvard Law School records, Harvard Law Review articles, University of Chicago scholarly articles, all financial aid documentation, Illinois State Bar Association records, Illinois State Senate records/schedules (said to be lost), Medical records, Obama/Dunham marriage license, Obama/Dunham divorce documents, Soetoro/Dunham marriage license, and adoption records.” Then, and only then, will we begin to gain a clearer picture of the man who presently occupies the White House. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Doug Hagmann Most recent columns Copyright © Douglas HagmannDouglas Hagmann, founder & director of the Northeast Intelligence Network, and a multi-state licensed private investigative agency.

Michele Bachmann: Uncut

Twas the Night before Christmas
Twas the Night before Christmas Poem Make it Snow ! Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.
The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads. And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap, Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap.
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew like a flash, Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below. When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, But a miniature sleigh, and eight tinny reindeer.
With a little old driver, so lively and quick, I knew in a moment it must be St Nick. More rapid than eagles his coursers they came, And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!
"Now Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen! On, Comet! On, Cupid! on, on Donner and Blitzen! To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall! Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!"
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky. So up to the house-top the coursers they flew, With the sleigh full of Toys, and St Nicholas too.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof The prancing and pawing of each little hoof. As I drew in my head, and was turning around, Down the chimney St Nicholas came with a bound.
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot, And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot. A bundle of Toys he had flung on his back, And he looked like a peddler, just opening his pack.
His eyes-how they twinkled! his dimples how merry! His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry! His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow.
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath. He had a broad face and a little round belly, That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly!
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself! A wink of his eye and a twist of his head, Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, And filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk. And laying his finger aside of his nose, And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose!
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, And away they all flew like the down of a thistle. But I heard him exclaim, ‘ere he drove out of sight, "Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!"

Twas the Night before Christmas Poem
Twas the night before Christmas Poem also called “A Visit from St. Nicholas"
Clement Clarke Moore (1779 - 1863) wrote the poem Twas the night before Christmas also called “A Visit from St. Nicholas" in 1822. It is now the tradition in many American families to read the poem every Christmas Eve. The poem Twas the night before Christmas has redefined our image of Christmas and Santa Claus. Prior to the creation of the story of Twas the night before Christmas St. Nicholas, the patron saint of children, had never been associated with a sleigh or reindeers! The author of the poem Twas the night before Christmas was a reticent man and it is believed that a family friend, Miss H. Butler, sent a copy of the poem to the New York Sentinel who published the poem. The condition of publication was that the author of Twas the night before Christmas was to remain anonymous. The first publication date was 23rd December 1823 and it was an immediate success. It was not until 1844 that Clement Clarke Moore claimed ownership when the work was included in a book of his poetry. Clement Clarke Moore came from a prominent family and his father Benjamin Moore was the Bishop of New York who was famous for officiating at the inauguration of George Washington. The tradition of reading Twas the night before Christmas poem on Christmas Eve is now a Worldwide institution.

Scariest video of a Japan Tsunami (2011)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3rqPPJPwLg Best video I have seen of the destructive 2011 Tsunami. The photographer has to keep moving, as the rushing ocean continues to rise and move everything. Watch as the water gets higher and higher. It sure puts a good perspective on the extreme force of the ocean.
