Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. (D) Wants Federal Money for an Airport That Doesn't Exist...

Congressman Wants Federal Money for an Airport That's Never Seen an Airplane

Lincoln Airport -- Illinois Democratic Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. has put in an earmark request for $231,000 for the Abraham Lincoln National Airport Commission to finance what is called "minority and small business development."

But the airport does not exist, and plans for it are the subject of a power struggle between Jackson and the Will County government.

Republicans call the request an example of unnecessary spending.

Will County officials say Jackson is using his influence to waste taxpayer dollars.

Critics also point out that the executive director of the airport commission for the non-existent airport -- happens to be the administrator for Jackson's congressional office in Chicago.

Jackson's people say the money is needed to study how the area south of Chicago could transition into an "airport economy" if the facility is ever built.

Conservative Challenger to Lindsey Grahamnesty Emerges

RUSH: John Cina -- he's a Somerville, South Carolina, businessman. He has never sought public office before, but he's starting his political career by going after Senator Lindsey Grahamnesty. He says he's going to oppose Lindsey Grahamnesty in next year's Republican primary: "I'm not a politician, I'm an everyday citizen, an hourly wage earner. We need to consider what's best for the American people, what's best for South Carolina. We've sent people up to Washington for a purpose, and they don't do anything we want them to do."

He's a self-described grassroots, right-wing conservative with unwavering principles. He most recently worked as an engineering representative, processing permits for cable TV and telephone companies with Synergetic Design in Florida and in South Carolina. Said he began planning his bid in January, announced his intentions at the Dorchester County Republican executive committee meeting, said he hasn't met Graham but is not happy with his record.

Some people are saying this is a long shot, and of course it is. He describes it as strictly grassroots. "What I need to do is get myself known and for people to find out who I am and where I'm coming from." He's amassed about $3.7 million, more than all but two of the many Republican senators up for reelection next year. So that is what's happening in South Carolina.

Sen. Graham to face 'grass-roots' GOP opponent

Summerville businessman aiming for next year's Republican primary

John J. Cina, a Summerville businessman, has never sought public office before but is starting his political career by setting his sights high. He said Friday he will oppose U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham in next year's Republican primary.

"I'm not a politician. I'm an every- day citizen, an hourly wage earner," Cina said. "We need to consider what's best for the American people, what's best for the South Carolina people. We've sent people up to Washington, D.C., for a purpose, and they don't do anything we want them to."

A self-described "grass-roots right-wing conservative with unwavering principles," Cina most recently has worked as an engineering representative, processing permits for cable TV and telephone companies with Synergetic Design Inc. in Florida and South Carolina.

Cina said he began planning his bid in January and announced his intentions at the Dorchester County Republican Executive Committee meeting. He said he hasn't met Graham but isn't happy with his record.

"Let's put it this way: I don't like the direction the government is going in right now," he said. "Seventy percent of the people don't want this immigration bill passed, yet they are determined to pass this immigration bill. That's only one item."

Graham's campaign manager Scott Farmer said Graham is willing to tackle the tough issues. "From his work in confirming Supreme Court Justices John Roberts and Samuel Alito to his steadfast support of our troops in the war on terror, Senator Graham has been a leader and a problem solver. We look forward to running a strong campaign on the senator's conservative record," Farmer said.

Dorchester County Republican chairman Arthur Bryngelson called Cina "a good Republican. He is a conservative. He is a Reaganite who believes in less taxes and smaller government. That I can say unequivocally about him."

Some would describe Cina's campaign as an extreme longshot. He described it as "strictly grass-roots."

"What I need to do is to get myself known and for people to find out who I am and where I'm coming from," he said.

Graham already has amassed almost $3.7 million -- more than all but two of the many Republican senators up for re-election next year.

Cina's announcement comes the same week that one potential challenger to Graham, State Treasurer Thomas Ravenel, faded in popularity after his indictment Tuesday on federal charges of cocaine possession.

Sex Offender Found With 15-Year-Old Girl in His Bed

TAMPA -- When Officer Felicia Pecora knocked on 42-year-old Raymond Gomez' door Sunday night - conducting a routine patrol check - she immediately became suspicious. Pecora says it was Gomez' look that gave him away.

"When he answered the door, he kind of hid behind it, and his eyes were just big as saucers," Pecora recalled. "He just didn't expect to see us. He looked like when people are naked and you catch them."

In fact, the registered sex offender was naked. After informing the officers he needed to put on some clothes, Gomez closed the door to get dressed.

When Pecora and another Tampa police officer went inside to question him, their suspicions grew.

"He didn't expect to see two uniformed police officers," Pecora said. "That shock on his face, his shaking, the visible nervousness - my partner and I both knew there was something in there. He didn't want us to find it, and we weren't going to leave until he told us what it was, or we figured out what it was."

Inside Gomez' bedroom was a 15-year-old girl who told police she was 18. Investigators say she knew Gomez was a sex offender, and was trying to protect him.

Under the terms of Gomez' probation he isn't allowed to use the internet, but the victim says she met Gomez online in a Christian chat room.

Both accessed the internet through their cell phones, and police say this case, is a cautionary tale for parents.

"Chat rooms for your teen or child - it's a mall for victims is what it is. Parents need to monitor that, monitor the phone bills," Pecora warned.

Gomez has been charged with lewd and lascivious act on a victim under 16 as well as for violation of probation.

He was convicted on the same charge back in 2002. Officers say they regularly conduct surprise checks on sex offenders, because of situations just like this.

"We go overboard with that because we want them to never know when we're going to be there," Pecora said. "You never know when I'm going to pull you over. You never know when I'm going to come to you house, walk up behind you and ask what's going on in your life. I want them to be afraid."

Police say Gomez may have at least one more underage victim out there, and they're still investigating.

Un-fuckin'-believable, Hayes (and CA) deserve way better...

Libtard Maxine Waters Has Constituent Arrested Over Shamnesty Bill,

Then Wants Him To Keep Quiet About It So As Not To Embarrass Her...

Rep. Waters Has Activist Arrested Over Amnesty

To say the amnesty bill was an emotional issue is an understatement. The Capitol Hill phones rang non-stop, causing some members to simply unplug them and turn off their answering machines. They were hearing from their constituents that they don’t want this amnesty bill to pass and they were ignoring these pleas.

But to have a citizen arrested because they disagree is beyond the pale and begs the question, why do they care more about illegal aliens than they do their own constituents?

Homeless activist, Ted Hayes, was on Capitol Hill, like thousands of other citizens who make unscheduled visits to their congressional offices, and to other offices that don’t represent their congressional district. There is an open door policy on Capitol Hill and anyone who has been there or worked there knows it.

Ted, who founded and ran the homeless shelter in South Central L.A. called Dome Village was in Washington on June 19 to visit Hon. Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick on the issue of immigration. In the elevator going to her floor he and his colleagues, Mr. James Spencer and Mr. Terrance Lang, began a conversation with some folks from Chicago who were going to see Maxine Waters in an unscheduled, meeting. Ted told them that James was from her district in Los Angeles and they would tag along and see if they could see her as well.

When they all arrived at the office, both groups were warmly welcomed by the staff. The Chicago group was ushered into Maxine’s personal office and Ted, James and Terrance waited patiently in the front room of the congressional office. They could hear laughter coming from her office and felt it was a sign that she was in a good mood and would receive their concerns about the amnesty bill.

Ted’s concern with the bill was that, as a black man who has worked with the homeless and disadvantaged for years, he saw an amnesty bill as one more obstacle for poor blacks to overcome. He saw the illegal aliens in his home area of Los Angeles putting an insurmountable burden on the social welfare and education system and saw jobs that would ordinarily go to his people ... going to the illegals. When he speaks out about it, he is castigated as a racist, called names, slandered and threatened.

But this day, he was hopeful that since Maxine was seeing people half way across the nation, from a totally different district, that she would take the time to talk to one of her own constituents and their friends.

After the meeting ended though and the Chicago group left, buoyed by the personal, engaging encounter, they waited hopefully for her to emerge from her private office and give them an audience. She did emerge, but not to talk to them. She walked right past them which is hard to do in a ten by ten foot reception area with two grown men standing and one sitting. But she did, leaving the congressional office and heading for the hall.

Ted got up to follow her asking why she was doing this ... why wasn’t she going to talk to them? To this query she spun around and responded, “You are full of sh-t”, “You are full of sh-t, Ted Hayes.” I forgot to mention that she knows Ted and has known him for 23 years. For those of you who don’t know Ted, he can be imposing in his appearance, standing 6’7”, dressed in long robs, dreadlocks, skullcap and sandals. It would be easy for the guards, who heard the ruckus, to assume that he was a foreign assailant and a threat to the congresswoman.

Hayes then suggested that if she turned her back on her black constituents ...the way she just did to them and voted for the amnesty bill, that she would be through in congress. She would be finished. The female guard took this as a terrorist threat and handcuffed him. Congresswoman Maxine Waters did nothing to prevent this, show a semblance of leadership or come to the aid of a good man that she has known for 23 years.

She could have said, “It’s ok officer, Ted is a constituent and from the LA area. He and I disagree on a lot of issues, but believe me, he is not a terrorist. He is just passionate, as I am, about certain issues.” Did she do this? Did she care about this man she has known, being handcuffed in the halls of congress, escorted out the front doors of the Rayburn House Office Building, jailed and charged with disorderly conduct? No, but what she did care about was whether or not he would talk to the press. Her office called and expressed her concern that this story of his arrest not be leaked to the press and not get back to her district.

He said he would honor that request because he wanted to do the right thing and did not want to hurt her in any way. He was just trying to have a conversation about illegal immigration and how it was hurting blacks and was confused as to why she was turning her back on her people, and was more sympathetic with people not only not from her district ... but also not from her country.

The reason you are hearing about this now, is that he called me from the airport to apologize for not being able to call me on the 19th, to verify that we were going to get together. He sounded very embarrassed and ashamed that he had been arrested and told me that was why he had not called. He asked me not to say anything to the press, but I told him his arrest was a matter of public record and anyone could get access to the details. And, people have right to know how out of control and arrogant this congress is on this, and many other issues.

Realizing that if this story got out, that she could look like a real elitist hypocrite in her district, Maxine offered to drop the charges if Ted would come in and apologize. Basically, denying that she was culpable of any wrong doing, even hitting him in the chest when he tried to come back into her office as she was slamming the door on him. So, she wants him to come and kiss her ring, beg for mercy and she will drop the charges.

That was the type of coercive blackmail that was in full operation on Capitol Hill, surrounding the now failed amnesty bill, in the form of markups and pork-laden amendments. Even though almost 80% of Americans were, and still are, against the legislation, and tried and tried to make their voices heard ... they were also getting the Maxine Waters treatment, without the handcuffs and jail cell. They were being ignored, mocked, ridiculed and demonized by these people who are supposed to be “representing” them.

Congress is totally out of control, and out of touch. It is all about power and newfound votes, to keep that power. And it is both parties ... not just Maxine’s Democrat Party. From Trent Lott to Lindsey Graham, who refer to those opposing the bill as bigots, and conservative talk radio as the fuel flaming those bigoted flames, the lines are clearly being drawn.

The two Americas that John Edward’s loves to talk about do exist, one being his America of wealthy, elitist politicians who feel they are above the law, above the rest of us, holding the purse strings to pay for their self-serving projects that ensure they will not be defeated. And just to sweeten the pot, if they succeed in letting illegals move to the front of the line of citizenship, they hope to get rewarded with their votes. They are the new constituent de jour and they aren’t even citizens. They slam doors in the faces of real citizens, while carrying the water for lawbreakers who have no vested interest in protecting our national interests or freedoms. The other America is the regular taxpayer who has to pay for their vanities, their well-crafted follies that ensure their survival in a job that we trusted them with.

Ted is symbolic of all of us who are classified as the disdainful necessities of absolute power. Their purring and posturing before an election ensures that once they are safely ensconced in their position of arrogant assumption, they can order the electorate to the back of the political bus and ignore their cries of protest and opposition. They can have us arrested and offer to drop charges only if we acknowledge before a tribunal that yes, they are all powerful, all knowing all seeing and incapable of doing any wrong.

If they want to prove that the assumption I have made is wrong, then prove it by taking all rights for these illegal aliens to ever vote out of any amnesty bill proposed in the future. Make us believe that it is not about the votes. They can’t, and they won’t. They will sell out our heritage for a handful of votes to keep them in the position of having the power to destroy each of us and will demonstrate that absolute power by having us handcuffed and thrown in jail if we disagree with them.

And if we continue to let them do this, then shame on us.

Olby and Crazy Larry spin the London car bombs,

Shrapnel? What Shrapnel?

Libtard peaceniks' favorite CIA expert and Olberclown play down the London Car Bomb, and terrorism in general...

Notice how neither of these geniuses can figure out that the nails Olby mentions in his first sentence ARE the shrapnel.

Notice how "intelligence expert" Crazy Larry is convinced the terrorists are "yuppies" who purchased the Mercedes, even though, as Olby puts it, police are "implying" that the car was stolen.

Notice how "intelligence expert" Crazy Larry implys that yuppies can't be serious terrorists, even though as most of us remember, most of the 9/11 terrorists were college-educated and came from wealthy families.

The Declining Terrorist Threat
By LARRY C. JOHNSON
New York Times
July 10, 2001

WASHINGTON -- Judging from news reports and the portrayal of villains in our popular entertainment, Americans are bedeviled by fantasies about terrorism. They seem to believe that terrorism is the greatest threat to the United States and that it is becoming more widespread and lethal. They are likely to think that the United States is the most popular target of terrorists. And they almost certainly have the impression that extremist Islamic groups cause most terrorism.

None of these beliefs are based in fact. While many crimes are committed against Americans abroad (as at home), politically inspired terrorism, as opposed to more ordinary criminality motivated by simple greed, is not as common as most people may think.

At first glance, things do seem to be getting worse. International terrorist incidents, as reported by the State Department, increased to 423 in 2000 from 392 in 1999. Recently, Americans were shaken by Filipino rebels' kidnapping of Americans and the possible beheading of one hostage. But the overall terrorist trend is down. According to the Central Intelligence Agency, deaths from international terrorism fell to 2,527 in the decade of the 1990's, from 4,833 in the 80's.

Nor are the United States and its policies the primary target. Terrorist activity in 2000 was heavily concentrated in just two countries -- Colombia, which had 186 incidents, and India, with 63. The cause was these countries' own political conflicts.

While 82 percent of the attacks in Colombia were on oil pipelines managed by American and British companies, these attacks were less about terrorism than about guerrillas' goal of disrupting oil production to undermine the Colombian economy. Generally, the guerrillas shy away from causing casualties in these attacks. No American oil workers in Colombia were killed or injured last year.

Other terrorism against American interests is rare. There were three attacks on American diplomatic buildings in 2000, compared with 42 in 1988. No Americans were killed in these incidents, nor have there been any deaths in this sort of attack this year.

Of the 423 international terrorist incidents documented in the State Department's report "Patterns of Global Terrorism 2000," released in April, only 153 were judged by the department and the C.I.A. to be "significant." And only 17 of these involved American citizens or businesses.

Eleven incidents involved kidnappings of one or more American citizens, all of whom were eventually released. Seven of those kidnapped worked for American companies in the energy business or providing services to it -- Halliburton, Shell, Chevron, Mobil, Noble Drilling and Erickson Air-Crane.

Five bombings were on the list. The best known killed 17 American sailors on the destroyer Cole, as it was anchored in a Yemeni port, and wounded 39. A bomb at a McDonald's in France killed a local citizen there. The other explosions -- outside the United States embassy in the Philippines, at a Citibank office in Greece, and in the offices of Newmont Mining in Indonesia -- caused mostly property damage and no loss of life. In the 17th incident, vandals trashed a McDonald's in South Africa.

The greatest risk is clear: if you are drilling for oil in Colombia -- or in nations like Ecuador, Nigeria or Indonesia -- you should take appropriate precautions; otherwise Americans have little to fear.

Although high-profile incidents have fostered the perception that terrorism is becoming more lethal, the numbers say otherwise, and early signs suggest that the decade beginning in 2000 will continue the downward trend. A major reason for the decline is the current reluctance of countries like Iraq, Syria and Libya, which once eagerly backed terrorist groups, to provide safe havens, funding and training.

The most violent and least reported source of international terrorism is the undeclared war between Islamists and Hindus over the disputed Kashmir region of India, bordering Pakistan. Although India came in second in terms of the number of terrorist incidents in 2000, with 63, it accounted for almost 50 percent of all resulting deaths, with 187 killed, and injuries, with 337 hurt. Most of the blame lies with radical groups trained in Afghanistan and operating from Pakistan.

I am not soft on terrorism; I believe strongly in remaining prepared to confront it. However, when the threat of terrorism is used to justify everything from building a missile defense to violating constitutional rights (as in the case of some Arab-Americans imprisoned without charge), it is time to take a deep breath and reflect on why we are so fearful.

Part of the blame can be assigned to 24-hour broadcast news operations too eager to find a dramatic story line in the events of the day and to pundits who repeat myths while ignoring clear empirical data. Politicians of both parties are also guilty. They warn constituents of dire threats and then appropriate money for redundant military installations and new government investigators and agents.

Finally, there are bureaucracies in the military and in intelligence agencies that are desperate to find an enemy to justify budget growth. In the 1980's, when international terrorism was at its zenith, NATO and the United States European Command pooh-poohed the notion of preparing to fight terrorists. They were too busy preparing to fight the Soviets. With the evil empire gone, they "discovered" terrorism as an important priority.

I hope for a world where facts, not fiction, determine our policy. While terrorism is not vanquished, in a world where thousands of nuclear warheads are still aimed across the continents, terrorism is not the biggest security challenge confronting the United States, and it should not be portrayed that way.

A New Weapon In the Fight Against Illegal Immigration...

Early 287(g) Stats Get Attention Of Dozens of TN Sheriffs

By Jared Allen ~ Nashville City Paper -- EXCERPT:

Davidson County Sheriff Daron Hall may have started a trend across Tennessee with his program to identify and deport illegal immigrants booked into the Metro jail.

In just two months, the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office has identified a total of 605 foreign born nationals in the country illegally and readied them for deportation through the use of a federal database sharing program known as 287(g).

And the rapid pace of the program -- which in its first 60 days has identified as illegal 75 percent of the total number of foreigners booked into the Metro jail, and that has already marked for deportation 1.4 percent of Nashville’s total estimated illegal immigrant population -- has led law enforcement officials in more than a dozen counties across the state to inquire about bringing the 287(g) program into their own back yards.

“We’ve had at least 15 sheriff’s offices contact us and ask us in detail about what the program is all about,” Davidson County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Karla Crocker said Thursday.

The “dozens” of total inquiries have ranged from informal phone calls from curious sheriffs in small counties to in-depth and on-going dialogues with the sheriffs and staffs of larger, and many adjacent, counties, Crocker said.

At the same time, Crocker explained that -- in accordance with Sheriff Daron Hall’s promise that he would not use the immigration enforcement program to run background checks on inmates from any other Tennessee county or jurisdiction -- their office is not serving as an advocate for 287(g).

“We’ve met twice with the Tennessee Sheriff’s Association in an effort to put the information out there to the sheriffs,” Crocker said. “But we are not going to meddle in other sheriffs’ business. It has been up to the ones that are interested in it to contact us.”

But many have done just that, Crocker said.

The sheriffs that have expressed the most interest are those that work in the closest proximity to Davidson County, according to Sheriff’s Office officials in Nashville.

“We have been contacted by every surrounding county at one point or another,” Crocker said. “The discussions with Williamson and Wilson counties have been pretty in depth.”

And today Hall and his staff are scheduled to meet personally with Bedford County Sheriff Randall Boyce to discuss the practicality and possibility of implementing such a federal database-sharing program in Shelbyville.

Original link is strangely dead, after two days... (June 29, 2007)
Nashville City Paper ~ Jared Allen ** Early 287(g) stats get attention of dozens of TN sheriffs

The proposed criminal illegal immigrant deportation plan

What is 287 (g)? 287 (g) is a section of the federal Immigration and Naturalization Act that allows local law enforcement agencies to essentially act as their own immigration departments by authorizing those agencies to "identify, process and, when appropriate, detain immigration offenders they encounter during their regular, daily law-enforcement activity."

Why is it needed? Currently, when someone who is suspected of not having legal citizenship status comes into the Davidson County jail, local officials must send a request for citizenship information to a federal immigration clearinghouse in Vermont. It is only by submitting that information that local officials have any hope of finding out if someone is here illegally. And often they don't hear back at all before an arrestee is released. Already this year, scores of suspected illegal immigrants were arrested and released before the Sheriff's Office had time to learn their immigration status.

What would change if 287 (g) is implemented? If implemented here in Nashville, Sheriff's deputies trained and equipped by the federal government would quickly be able to find out the immigration status of every individual who comes though Davidson County jail. If someone has been deported before, our officials would immediately begin new deportation proceedings. If no answer is provided, those arrestees would be released in order to appear before a federal immigration judge and prove their legal status.

Fred Thompson Seen As Most Conservative GOP Candidate

EXCERPT:

Among the major candidates seeking the GOP Presidential nomination, former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson is viewed as politically conservative by more voters than anybody else. That’s true among all voters and also among Republican voters. It’s a key factor in why Thompson is currently doing so well in the race for the Republican Presidential nomination.

Thompson and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee are the only candidates seen as more conservative in this survey than before.

Perceptions of former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani have changed little over the past month. Arizona Senator John McCain is less likely to be considered politically conservative than he was a month ago.

Among Republicans, 49% now see Thompson as conservative (up from 42% a month ago). Forty percent (40%) say the same about Romney (little changed from 39% a month ago).

'Furring' is new sex craze for perverts, king of the forest

Forget dogging -- the new sex craze is 'furring'.

The practice sees people dressing up in giant teddy bear or other outfits and meeting in woodlands and forests for sex.

Participants -- sometimes called 'furverts' -- also dress as rabbits, squirrels or cartoon characters.

One furry -- known as 'Paddington' -- regularly takes part in the activity in woods at St Austell, Cornwall.

He said: 'St Austell is fast becoming a hotbed for furries since a new group started up.

'We're a group of people who like things to do with animals. It's great to meet up with fellow furries and enjoy the great outdoors.'

Tina Patterson, owner of the Make Believe fancy-dress hire shop in St Austell, said: 'I wonder where my costumes go sometimes.

Some of my fur suits come back in a right state.

The most popular is Sylvester the Cat.'

  Algore Clears Schedule, Could Run for President

RUSH: I just got a note from a friend who heard me say that Algore has canceled all his speaking engagements. Apparently, he's cleared his calendar for the next six months. One of the places he was supposed to go give a speech at was Taipei, and the guy in Taipei said, "Well, we got hold of the Harry Walker agency," which is a booking agency that Gore uses to do his speeches, "and they said he's getting ready to prepare his presidential run, his announcement." (Of course, Algore has been out there denying that he's going to run.) And the first Live Earth concert is coming up on July 7th, and my friend said, "I predict that he'll announce his candidacy on July 7th at the first Live Earth concert. Also, I hope it snows."
