In remarks on July 20 to a Freedom 21 conference in Dallas, Texas, conservative leader Phyllis Schlafly declared that the Chinese communists intend to exploit development of a North American Union in order to bring more cheap goods into the U.S. and destroy more American jobs.

"The Late Great USA” by Jerome Corsi, a new book being used to tell members of the U.S. Senate what the government is doing, is the best-seller for a fourth straight week at Shop.WND.com

The United States must find something - anything - that will be a deterrent to terrorists, or face another 9/11 that could be nuclear, according to U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo.

Amidst the rock concert mania surrounding a post-July 4th global warming consciousness raising, it is important for citizens to understand the difference between reasoned debate about public policy and the verbal pyrotechnics of a crusade. The politics of policy formation typically involve cost-benefit analyses, reviews of trade-offs, implications for other policies, possible unintended effects, long-term consequences - those sorts of things. This doesn’t mean, of course, that the whole process isn’t attended by artery-bursting passion and demagoguery, since both are inextricably entwined with how bills wiggle their way through the thicket of rules in the House and Senate.

The largely failed (and/or thwarted) acts of jihad terrorism at the end of this past week in London and Glasgow show once again that the aim of the current Islamic crusade against the West is global in scope, is not about Iraq and is not a fringe development in Islam itself.

Senate Bill 1348, giving mass amnesty to 20 million illegal aliens, proves a treacherous and outrageous act against our civilization by Congress and President Bush.

The Rosie O’Donnell-Elisabeth Hasselbeck battle is big news. In a modern female version of CNN’s old Crossfire show, these panelists on ABC’s “The View” let the rhetoric fly on issues like the Iraq War. But there is more at stake than a clash of media personalities. Whatever happened to the media’s responsibility to get the facts right?

Senator Dianne Feinstein said, “Turn ‘em in, America,” a very unpatriotic command nobody has to obey because it was against the law. She might as well have urged Americans to purchase other Americans while it’s against the law to own another person in this country. As civil rights, both are absolute, and for good reason. Who in her right mind could urge Americans to surrender a civil right? Indeed, even just a little? Could any reason be good enough?

Just when I thought politics in New Mexico could not possibly become any more bizarre - they did.  The police department for the state capitol - Santa Fe - has made the decision to hire Mexican Nationals (NOT US citizens) as “law enforcement” officers.  In this way, the new Mexican (not US) police officers can ensure that illegal immigrants are given the special privileges the anarchistic hordes have decided they deserve.  And, New Mexico has begun the secession from the US, in order to no longer have to adhere to its pesky laws.

Events are moving fast in Europe. The worst riots since the fall of Communism have swept the Baltics and the south Balkans. An incipient crisis is taking shape in the Club Med bond markets. S&P has cut Greek debt to near junk. Spanish, Portuguese, and Irish bonds are on negative watch.

The dream of most immigrants is to strike it rich and then move back home. But, striking it rich is relative, given that in many of the countries these people come from the monthly salary can be around 200 dollars.

Among other things, the Citizenship class recommends girls lose their virginity before marriage, say critics.

A few weeks ago when an Israeli army officer who had strayed into the town of Jenin was almost lynched by a Palestinian mob, it did nothing to dampen the popularity of the Palestinian cause.

ANCIENT OLYMPIA, Greece—The fires consuming southern Greece raced toward the site of the ancient Olympics on Sunday, engulfing entire villages and forests as it reached the hillside next to one of the most revered sites of antiquity.

SEOUL, South Korea—South Korea said its army remained on alert Sunday, a day after North Korea threatened military action in response to Seoul’s hard-line stance against its communist regime.

There were almost no media reports on it, but China’s 17th Communist Party Congress (CPC) adopted a new amended Constitution(1) on October 21, 2007. Should you care about this? Perhaps. It was at the 11th Congress of China’s Communist Party Congress, held in 1979, that China adopted, in effect, free enterprise. That is why so much of what you buy today comes from China. Since that Congress the economy of China has grown by leaps and bounds. 

The Peoples’ Republic of China, which started frightening consumers last March with poisoned pet food, is still at it this Halloween. 

The economy will grow at its slowest rate in seven years over the coming months according to the New Zealand Institute of Economic Research.

China is missing some uranium and they have no idea where it has gone.

International donors have now started to renege on US$12 billion dollars in pledges made by them in Paris in December 2007 and at Sharm El Sheikh in March this year. Their decision threatens to send the Palestinian Authority into financial meltdown and political oblivion.

I mean, all that ‘balanced moral equivalence’ and stuff. I just get goosebumps.

President Barack Obama’s long-awaited speech to the Muslim World in Cairo had some important, positive elements in it. He is to be commended for that.

Jews and Arabs are destined to become engaged in many years of further fighting, trauma and suffering unless President Obama does a complete backflip by adopting a different stance to that he expressed in his long awaited speech at Cairo University on 4 June.

King Abdullah of Jordan has obviously got a bad attack of the jitters as Israeli politicians now focus their attention on Jordan returning to re-occupy the heavily Arab populated areas of the West Bank - as Jordan had done so successfully before between 1948-1967.
