Young Boys Rescued From The Cowardly Taliban (McClacthy asks tough questions in hard hitting interview)

Taragana - ISLAMABAD — Security forces have rescued several children forcibly recruited by the Taliban, allegedly to be used as fighters or suicide bombers, and there could be hundreds more of them, officials said Tuesday....

...Lt. Gen. Nadeem Ahmed, who heads a special support group tasked with handling the return of people displaced by three months of fighting in the Swat Valley and surrounding areas, said he had met with nine boys rescued from the Taliban.

Ahmed said on state-run TV that the children had told him there were many more, possibly hundreds, like them.

Fox News: Michelle Malkin Exposes Obama’s “Culture of Corruption”

On the Tuesday “Glenn Beck Program,” the host threw a spotlight on bestselling author Michelle Malkin’s new book, Culture of Corruption, which is subtitled “Obama and his team of tax cheats, crooks, and cronies.”

Beck asked Malkin to tell him “a little bit about the idea and the philosophy of being a community organizer and remaking America. What does that mean to Barack Obama?”

Later on the Today Show, Matt Lauer did his best at trying to defend the Obamas, showing frustration when he couldn’t get Malkin to change her evil ways.

'CHANGE' WITH BRASS KNUCKLES
NY Post

SIX months into the Obama ad ministration, it should now be clear: Hope and Change came to the White House wrapped in brass knuckles.

Ask the Congressional Budget Office. Last week, President Obama spilled the beans on the "Today Show" that he had met with CBO Director Douglas Elmendorf -- just as the number crunchers were casting ruinous doubt on White House cost-saving claims.

Yes, question the timing. The CBO is supposed to be a neutral scorekeeper -- not a water boy for the White House.

But when the meeting failed to stop the CBO from issuing more analysis undercutting the health-care savings claims, Obama's budget director Peter Orszag played the heavy. In a public letter, he warned the CBO that it risked feeding the perception that it was "exaggerating costs and underestimating savings."

Message: Leave the number-fudging to the boss. Capiche?

TV bosses 'should face sack' if they don't hit ethnic targets, says incoming BBC executive
Daily Mail UK

One of the BBC’s top black executives has called for TV bosses to be sacked if they fail to meet racial diversity targets. Patrick Younge, who is set to take over at BBC Vision, the corporation’s programme-making section, claimed there was not enough ‘internal pressure’ for change. He has said the targets should be treated like financial aims, suggesting that if bosses miss them they should pay the consequences. His comments may be particularly embarrassing for the corporation’s top executives – as the BBC has failed to hit its own targets.

Maddow, a "Teabagging Queen"?

Never reluctant to stand up for himself, Dobbs on his radio program Tuesday took aim at those in the media who are "trying to silence their opponents and their competitors in the public marketplace of ideas," in particular MSNBC's Rachel Maddow who he referred to as a "teabagging queen."

Ewwww, I though that was Anderson? What am I missing here?

Diversity is the most overused, overrated word in the language. It's become clique and causes uncontrollable eyerolling when the MSM rolls it out in headline after headline, story after story. It's divisive and the child of wimpass liberals trying to tame their wimpass feelings of guilt. In newsrooms, the boss-mandated diversity pushes have created more hatred than acceptance. You can't demand diversity. It doesn't work that way you clueless executive editors.

Posters here have been writing for months about the Chicago style thugs that have taken over our political system. The Black Panthers brandishing their big sticks at voters should have been a warning, but the corrupt media tried to hide their actions, and the phony AG Holder, just dismissed their abominable behavior as “boyz will be boyz”. Malkin nails the liberals’ ugly hides right to the wall. That is why they hate her so ‘Barry, Barry’ much!

IF EVEN THE SOCIALIST BRITS GET IT, DEAR LEADER HAS A PROBLEM

Obama needs a radical change on healthcare to save his presidency
timesonline.co.uk

In any country other than the United States, it’s hard to feel the intensity of the national dispute over healthcare. It’s consuming Barack Obama’s presidency, and so it should. He’s right to have told Americans that they can’t afford their medical system (that is genteel understatement) and that it’s going to bankrupt their Government soon.

But he’s wrong in the way he’s trying to solve it — including his curious detachment from the details of the plan that will make or break his presidency. Why has his grand notion gone so badly adrift?

Archbishop: Baltimore City Worse Than Afghanistan

Worse than Afghanistan? Strong words from Baltimore's archbishop on the unprecedented drug-fueled violence in east Baltimore.

Bullets wounded 18 people and Mike Hellgren reports on the search for the shooters and the show of force on the streets.

Police are everywhere along Ashland Avenue after a mass shooting, part of a bloody battle over drug money and turf.

It prompted strong reaction from the archbishop.

Did Fox News commentator calls Barack Obama racist? Telegraph (U.K.)

A Fox News Channel commentator, Glenn Beck, said he believed President Barack Obama was a racist.

Beck made the statement during a guest appearance on the "Fox & Friends" morning show. He said Mr Obama had exposed himself as a person with "a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture".

His remarks came during a discussion over Mr Obama's reaction to the arrest of the Harvard University scholar Henry Louis Gates junior

Mr Gates is black and was arrested for disorderly conduct by a white policeman over a misunderstanding about a break-in at his home.

A spokesman for Mr Obama said the White House had no comment.

"I'm not saying he doesn't like white people," Beck said. "He has a problem. This guy is, I believe, a racist."

Anonymous said...

So I guess that whole “magic negro” mystique was blown with the Gates issue.

He told people that he hates whitey, has a deep seated resentment of white people, and it anything BUT “post-racial”.

His election didn’t “solve” anything. And guilt ridden white libs just got slapped in the face with this fact.

Dan Rather wants Obama to help save the news (Aspen Daily News)

Former CBS News anchor Dan Rather called on President Barack Obama to form a White House commission to help save the press Tuesday night in an impassioned speech at the Aspen Institute.

“I personally encourage the president to establish a White House commission on public media,” the legendary newsman said.

Such a commission on media reform, Rather said, ought to make recommendations on saving journalism jobs and creating new business models to keep news organizations alive.

I have watched Glenn Beck several times. He is not hateful in the least. He does comment on what he sees as problems in the USA. I would gather that is his job. That liberals immediately label anyone not toeing the Dems talking points line illuminates their weakness. I would bet the liberals calling Limbaugh, and Beck names can’t even understand the points being made. Liberals imagine themselves as the enlightened ones, good grief, what a laugh!

Detroit area jobless rate tops 17%

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- The Detroit metropolitan area held its position of having the highest unemployment rate among major U.S. cities, with the rate surging more than 2 percentage points to above 17%, the government reported Wednesday.

The jobless rate in the Detroit-Warren-Livonia metropolitan area rose to 17.1% last month from 14.9% in May. It was the highest of 49 urban centers with more than 1 million inhabitants in the Labor Department report.

The Detroit area also suffered the largest year-over-year increase in unemployment of any major urban center. The rate is up 8.1 percentage points from 9% in June 2008.

"We've seen continued deterioration in the entire state of Michigan," said Ken LeVasseur, a senior economist at the Bureau of Labor Statistics. "The entire state did not come out of the 2001 recession."

ENGLAND'S BUTT VS McCLATCHY'S BIG BUTT REPORTER.

An Asian man (Muzzie) who called police officers "white redneck hooligans" has been found guilty of making racist remarks. (England)

Hassan Butt, 29, also accused officers of acting "like the Gestapo" and asked them: "Why are you treating me like a Paki?"
Butt, who once admitted having claimed he was a terrorist to make money from the media, was convicted of committing a racially aggravated public order offence by District Judge Diana Baker at Manchester Magistrates Court.

(edit) He also asked officers who arrested and searched him: "Do you like feeling Pakis up?"

Butt, defending himself, admitted he used the words Paki and Gestapo and accepted he used the word hooligan, and possibly the word white, but denied calling the police rednecks.

Judge Baker told him: "You demonstrated towards the officers hostility based on their membership of a racial group."

Butt, was fined £200 and ordered to pay £100 costs and a victim surcharge of £15.

Judge Baker added: "I take seriously any form of racist abuse and feel the courts must strive to protect people."

Butt has previously admitted feeding untruths to journalists in order to "cash in" and having plans to write an autobiography called Leaving Al Qaida: Inside The Life And Mind of A British Jihadist.

Rosenberg told Gordon:

Girl with Half Her Brain Missing Lives Normal Life: Researchers Amazed (HOPE FOR NANCY PELOSI?)

July 28, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Scientists are stunned to discover that a ten-year-old German girl's brain has rewired itself to allow her to see out of one eye as though she has two, even though half of her brain tissue was entirely missing from birth.

In a report published this week in the online version of the journal of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, Lars Muckli, a neuroscientist at the University of Glasgow, Scotland, said, "Despite lacking one hemisphere, she's capable of living a normal life."

The girl, called AH in the study, was born with only one cerebral hemisphere after the right side of her brain stopped developing at seven weeks gestation. She was also missing most of her right eye. Neurological researchers are astonished that an fMRI revealed her retinal ganglion-cells "changed their predetermined crossing pattern" and re-mapped in her brain to create nearly normal bi-scopic vision.

The people here continue to vote for Democrats, how sorry can you feel for them? The auto, teacher and state workers’ unions have ruined this state. There is no hope. That this failed state receives money from other states is next to criminal. Money down a rat hole is what the bailout will be. Young people fled this state until the recession, and they will again when they can find a job. The teacher’s union is so corrupt, they don’t even realize the loss of young people means future school children as well. Young people are caught in a nightmare without end.

Does everyone know Michigan is a "closed shop" state, which means workers can be forced to join a union ...teachers must join a union.
