FYI: 2-CENT POSTAL HIKE LOOMS

A postal regulatory commission proposed a 2-cent increase in the cost of mailing a letter yesterday and urged the U.S. Postal Service to launch a "forever" stamp valid for first-class postage even when rates rise.

The proposal to increase the postage to 41 cents was a penny less than the USPS had requested.
The commission recommended a 26-cent rate for post cards, also a penny less than the USPS had sought.

If the USPS governors accept the recommendations, the new rates could be implemented in 60 days.

The article in the New York Post gives no explaination from the USPS as to why a rate raise is necessary.
Could it be?
Most people do not write letters they use email.
People pay their bills online or electronically.
Credit cards, utilities, phone, etc.
Or could it be the number of paid holidays?
Are you paid for All of these?
Like gas and orange juice we're getting ripped of again.

The Oscars

Planning to watch the Oscars?
Sunday's Oscar ceremony is shaping up to be the most partisan, left-wing awards show yet.

Al Gore's misleading documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" (which blames global warming on America) is nominated for both the Best Documentary Oscar and the Best Original Song Oscar. Gore is the favorite to win, and some say it may even re-launch his chances of a presidential run in 2008.

"Letters From Iwo Jima," nominated for four Oscars, including Best Picture, posits a moral equivalency between America and Imperial Japan during World War II, while the Oscar-nominated "Flags of Our Fathers" depicts the American war-time government as greedy and corrupt.

"Jesus Camp," nominated for the Best Documentary Oscar, ridicules conservative evangelical Christians.

"Children of Men," nominated for three Oscars, is about a heroic illegal alien who tries to save the human race, and the racist conservative government that is trying to deport her.

"Babel," nominated for six Oscars, including Best Picture, depicts Americans overseas as arrogant, racist, and abusive to foreigners.

Cheney Yanks Pelosi's Chain

VP: QUIT WHINING, NANCY
February 24, 2007 -- WASHINGTON -
Vice President Dick Cheney refused yesterday to take back his charge that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's opposition to the Iraq war is playing into the hands of al Qaeda.
Pelosi and The Cut and Run Democrats can't handle the truth.
Terrorists See Breaking America’s Will as Road to Victory
Aboard the USS Kitty Hawk. Cheney is being interviewed by Jonathan Karl with ABC, and Karl says, “Because Congressman Murtha and Pelosi have made it clear that what they would like to do is they would like to stop the surge, can they do it? Do they have the power to stop the surge?”

CHENEY: I think he's dead wrong. I think in fact if we were to do what Speaker Pelosi and Congressman Murtha are suggesting, all we'll do is validate the Al-Qaeda strategy. The Al-Qaeda strategy is to break the will of the American people. In fact, knowing they can't win in a stand-up fight, try to persuade us to throw in the towel and come home, and then they win because we quit. American Forces Press Service

Pelosi all bent out of shape tries to call Bush to
Complain of Cheney's Comments on Democrats' Iraq Strategy.
She couldn't reach the President.

Later, Pelosi said she had tried to reach the president but was only able to get through to White House chief of staff Josh Bolten.

Bolten said he was certain no one was questioning her patriotism or commitment to national security, she told reporters.

"I said to him perhaps when he saw what the vice president said he might have another comment," Pelosi said. White House deputy press secretary Dana Perino said Cheney "was not questioning anyone's patriotism." But she said Bush and Cheney believe that Pelosi and Murtha's "position to immediately pull out our troops would be harmful to our national security and that it is the wrong strategy to pursue."

Rush Quote:
"The Democrat Party is now laying the foundation for its eventual landslide defeat à la Vietnam. They want another Vietnam in Iraq. If they succeed, they're going to get it in every way, including an eventual landslide defeat, maybe not in '08. Soon thereafter it will happen. Because it's very simple. We, the American people, do not like to lose wars, contrary to the popular media belief, contrary to the media spin that's out there every day that the American people are sick and tired and want to get out
-- we don't want to lose."

More Americans killed by illegal aliens than Iraq war

By Jim Brown AgapePress February 22, 2007
Illegal aliens are killing more Americans than the Iraq war, says a new report from Family Security Matters that estimates some 2,158 murders are committed every year by illegal aliens in the U.S. The group says that number is more than 15 percent of all the murders reported by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the U.S. and about three times the representation of illegal aliens in the general population.

Mike Cutler, a former senior special agent with the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (the former INS), is a fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies and an advisor to Family Security Matters (FSM). He says the high number of Americans being killed by illegal aliens is just part of the collateral damage that comes with tolerating illegal immigration.

"The military actually called for the BORTAC team, ... the elite unit of the Border Patrol, to be detailed to Iraq to help to secure the Iraqi border," Cutler notes. "Now, if our military can understand that Iraq's security depends in measure on the ability to protect its border against insurgents and terrorists, then why isn't our country similarly protecting our own borders?"

Deadline passes, Iran still enriching
United Press International February 21, 2007
TEHRAN (UPI)
The U.N. deadline for Iran to stop enriching uranium passed Wednesday as Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad vowed not to back down.

Speaking at a rally in the northern Gilan provincial city of Amlash, Ahmadinejad accused western nations of truing to "maintain their monopoly" over nuclear technology, the state-run IRNA news agency reported.

Why should he stop?
He knows the U.S. will do nothing and the U.N. will absolutely do nothing.
He knows the anti-American anti-War anti-Bush Liberals are on his side.

IMAGINE shopping at an open market. Lots of people buying, selling, having fun. Suddenly a parked car explodes.
People standing closest are vaporized. Body parts fly everywhere. You're one of the "fortunate" ones, knocked to the ground and temporarily stunned. You struggle to your feet trying to comprehend the screams, the blood and the carnage.
Next, imagine the authorities telling you this is something you'll have to get used to. Why? They've "lost their patience" trying to protect you.
You've been written off as a "policy mistake."
Good luck in the future. ~ Arnold Ahlert

“Destroying a president is not much of a strategy to win a war, but it’s all the Democrats have. The churls of the left don’t seem to care whether their country wins the war, the important thing is to ‘keep hate alive.’ If hate worked in ‘06, maybe it will work again in ‘08, when the stakes will be considerably higher. Sometimes it’s not only hate, but a bit of schadenfreude, too, taking pleasure in the woes of the enemy. ‘Partisan pleasure in George Bush’s pain dates to the anguish of the contested 2000 election loss,’ observes Daniel Henninger in the Wall Street Journal. ‘The Democrats have run against something called ‘Bush’ for so long this sentiment is now bound up in any act or policy remotely attached to the president. Iraq’s troubles, or Iran or North Korea, are merely an artifact of crushing this one guy.’ The president’s tormentors in Congress, some old and some new, insist they don’t have anything against the fine young Americans with their lives on the line in Iraq, but the troops are dispensable to the larger partisan goal of destroying George W. and abdicating the responsibility that comes with being the world’s only superpower. If the troops are hurt, too, well, that’s just a risk the critics will have to endure.” —Wesley Pruden February 19
Anti-war resolution fails in Senate

COWARDS GIVE UP ON GIS - & GIVE IN TO EVIL
February 17, 2007 By Ralph Peters
PROVIDING aid and comfort to the enemy in wartime is treason. It's not "just politics." It's treason.

The "nonbinding resolution" telling the world that we intend to surrender to terrorism and abandon Iraq may be the most disgraceful congressional action since the Democrat Party united to defend slavery.

The vote was a huge morale booster for al Qaeda, for Iraq's Sunni insurgents, and for the worst of the Shia militias.

Illegal Alien get out of jail free

U.S. 'rewarded' alien for his testimony
THE WASHINGTON TIMES February 19, 2007
An illegal alien got a "get out of jail free card" plus U.S. legal documents and monetary compensation from federal prosecutors in exchange for his testimony against a U.S. Border Patrol agent accused of using excessive force during an arrest.
Former agent David Sipe, who was convicted and fired, recently won an acquittal at a court-ordered retrial.
A federal appeals court in Texas ordered the new trial, saying prosecutors gave the illegal alien and two others additional inducements not disclosed at the time for their testimony, including Social Security cards, witness fees, permits allowing travel to and from Mexico, living expenses and free use of government phones.
"The government stated in writing the aliens were allowed to remain and work in the United States pending trial and specified that 'no other promises or advantages' had been given," the court said. "That was not true." Read the rest of this shocking story.

GORE HOSPITALIZED IN PSYCH WARD
by: G.Marnier, SatireNewsService
(SNS) While patrolling Rock Creek Park in Washington, D.C. after the city was hit with a severe winter storm of snow, sleet and freezing rain, two members of the Park Police spotted Owl Gore running through the woods dressed in shorts and a tee shirt. The wind-chill factor was 8 degrees below zero.

The former Vice President angrily told the officers to leave him alone, that he was on his way to give a talk on the upcoming "Live Earth Concerts" dedicated to mass persuasion about threats of climate changes and what he was wearing made a statement showing what the problem was causing, even in the world of fashion.

After repeated refusals of offers to drive him to the conference, an ambulance was called and Gore was taken to George Washington University Hospital. His shouting and attempts to wrestle with the ambulance attendants necessitated his being put in restraints.

Several reporters who had just left a Q and A with House Speaker Pelosi at a restaurant down the street, spotted him as he was being removed from the ambulance, ran to his side and asked if he had been in an accident.

Gore yelled that he was being prevented from attending a global warming meeting, at which point he noticed that SNS's reporter was wearing a fur coat and started to yell even louder about the sanctity of animals. When asked the source of the leather in the hat that was given to him by one of the ambulance crew, he pulled it down over his ears, stuck his tongue out and was rolled into the Emergency Room prior to being evaluated in the Psychiatric Unit

When Pelosi had been questioned earlier in the restaurant about why she thought she was entitled to have a jumbo military jet with a bedroom for her trips to and from her district in California, she said that her position was so essential to running the government, time was of the essence.

Other questions revealed that she thought Hillary should get her husband more involved in the campaign: "After all, he had been the President and women love him".

Although his name was not referenced by the reporters, Pelosi said that contrary to some Republican reports, Barack Obama (aka B. Hussein Obama by Ann Coulter) has finally given up smoking, adding that George Soros was a very dear, compassionate and caring man and even though she is Catholic, they both think "(W)omen should be able to dump...er, I mean, have abortions," and that she - along with Kerry, Rockafeller, Kennedy, Levin, Albright, Waxman, many others and both Clintons - had earlier spoken directly about the threat to the U.S. in Iraq's having weapons of mass destruction, we should now get out of Iraq because our troops aren't respecting the terrorist insurgent's rights.

In what was seen as an attempt to get as much TV coverage as possible, Pelosi ended her comments by stating that Bill Clinton was not the father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby.

Tyrrell at the American Spectator says Global Warming Is Our Friend
Meanwhile, I am sitting here in our nation's capital freezing. In California, the citrus crop is near ruin. The plains states look like Antarctica, and from the Midwest to the Atlantic coast snow and ice are everywhere. The logical conclusion is that rather than debate the possibility of global warming we should be applauding it and doing everything we can to usher it in.

As a blizzard of snow and ice pummels the Northeast after trouncing the Midwest, and waves of Arctic cold fronts drop much of America below sub freezing weather, the $64,000 question is, Where is Al Gore?

If there is any doubt that God has a sense of humor, it has to be dispelled by a headline in Wednesday's Drudge Report: "House hearing on 'warming of the planet' canceled after ice storm."

He followed up with this: "Save it for a sunny day: Maryville Univ. in St. Louis area canceling screening of Al Gore's 'Inconvenient Truth' because of a snowstorm." News Max

Sound Like Anyone We Know Today?
The scribes and Pharisees asked Jesus what He thought should be done to the woman caught in adultery. Why?

They were testing Him, that they might have something
of which to accuse Him. John 8:2-6

Now early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people came to Him; and He sat down and taught them. Then scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. And when they had set her in the midst, they said to Him, "Teacher, this woman was caught in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses, in the law, commanded us that such should be stoned. But what do You say?" This they said, testing Him, that they might have something of which to accuse Him.

In John 8, after the scribes and Pharisees asked Jesus what should be done with the woman caught in adultery, what did Jesus do?

He stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger, as though He did not hear. John 8:6
Do you anti-Americans get this? Probably not.

Will White House Media Finally Move Helen Thomas

For those who do not recall, Helen left United Press International way back in 2000 rather than work for new owners when it was sold to conservatives at The Washington Times. NewsBusters

Jay Leno Humor

As you know, Al Gore has been nominated for two Academy Awards. But he has a bit of a problem, as far as transportation goes. He doesn’t want to ride there in a big car, and if you’ve seen al lately, he not longer fits in a small car. So unless Hummer comes out with a hybrid in two weeks, he is screwed.

In an interview with USA Today, Senator Barack Obama says the shortness of his political resume is his "greatest strength." Politics is the only business where people brag about how little experience they have. Can you imagine guys saying to you, "Look, I’ve never been to medical school, I’ve never even watched E.R., but if you just let me try and do this brain operation I’ll do the best job I can."

So many places ban smoking in public. If Barack Obama wants to smoke, he has to go someplace where no one is around. Like a Joe Biden rally.

Funny story I saw on the news last night. Seems a couple of people walking down the street in Washington, DC, passed actor Will Smith and they thought he was Barack Obama! They stopped him and said they’re voting for him in 2008. Actually, [the] same thing happened to Elton John. People thought he was Hillary.

Famous designer Donatella Versace has recommended that Hillary Clinton stop wearing those pant suits and start wearing dresses and skirts. Versace said Hillary should treat femininity as an opportunity.
You know, the way Bill does.

Bush Celebrates African American History Month

New York subway hero Wesley Autrey was honored by President Bush yesterday alongside prominent black sports, cultural and political figures at the White House yesterday.

Autrey, 50, a construction worker who achieved nationwide fame for his death-defying rescue of a Boston man who had fallen off the subway platform, was invited back to the White House by Bush to help celebrate African-American History Month.

"We're proud you are here again," Bush told Autrey, who was one of Bush's guests of honor at the State of the Union Address last month.

"We thank you for your courage. We thank you for your commitment to a life of a stranger. What a wonderful example you set for young and old, black, white, anybody in the United States of America," Bush said.

Autrey, a Navy veteran who wore his uniform to the event, embraced the president and waved as the crowd in the White House East Room cheered.

Other White House honorees included baseball greats Jim "Mudcat" Grant, Ferguson Jenkins and current Florida Marlins star Dontrelle Willis. The East Room

Global Warming At It Again

Blue skies turned gray in the blink of an eye yesterday afternoon, bringing another upstate snowstorm to a battered area more than ready to cry uncle.

"This is bad," said Dave DeGrau, 67, who has operated an auto-repair shop on Main Street in Parish for 45 years. "We had a very easy winter until now.

"Last fall, during hunting season, it rained every time I went out. I kept saying, 'I'm glad this isn't snow.' Now, it's snow."

Bands of squalls have swung up and down the eastern shore of Lake Ontario, since Feb. 3, prompting Gov. Spitzer to declare a disaster emergency in Oswego County.

The National Weather Service said Parish, about 25 miles northeast of Syracuse, reached a milestone yesterday morning - 100 inches of snow in seven days.

Department of Homeland Security admits to lying

Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) had admitted to members of Congress...

...that they had lied to Congress about the case against imprisoned agents Ramos and Compean.

Under questioning by Rep. Culberson, a DHS investigator admitted
that his department did NOT have evidence to back up a number of
outrageous claims including: Mexican/American agents Ramos and
Compean "wanted to shoot a Mexican"; confessed to shooting an
unarmed suspect; were belligerent to investigators; lied and
submitted false reports; and stated during the investigation
that the illegal alien did not pose a threat.

In addition, the DHS admitted that it began its prosecution
BEFORE completing their investigation!

This prompted a startled and angry response from Culberson, who charged Skinner's office with lying to the Texas congressmen and painting Ramos and Compean as dirty cops. WorldNetDaily®

Border Patrol Agents [Update]

But not all the concerned lawmakers are Republicans.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein sent a letter to Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., urging him to reinvigorate an investigation into the Compean and Ramos case. Feinstein asked for the investigation last year but she said in her letter to Leahy that it was never completed.

The Honorable Patrick Leahy
Senate Judiciary Committee
United States Senate
Washington, DC 20510

Dear Chairman Leahy:

At my request, last Congress then-Chairman Specter began a Committee investigation into the case involving Border Patrol Agents Jose Alonso Compean and Ignacio Ramos. However, to my knowledge it was never completed. I am writing to you now to request that you continue the investigation and complete the Committee's work.

As you may know, Agents Compean and Ramos were convicted in March 2006, and sentenced in October 2006, to 12 and 11 years in prison, respectively, for shooting at Osvaldo Aldrete-Davila. Mr. Aldrete-Davila was a drug smuggler who had driven a van containing 743 pounds of marijuana across the Mexican border into Texas. He was shot while fleeing from the Agents in an attempt to cross the border back into Mexico and avoid apprehension. Additionally, Mr. Aldrete-Davila was not seriously injured.

I strongly believe that the sentences in this case are too extreme given the criminal nature of the defendant and his possession of large quantities of drugs, and given the fact that Mr. Aldrete-Davila had physically resisted at least one attempt by Agents Ramos and Compean to bring him into custody.

In addition, to my knowledge, neither of the Agents had prior convictions or any other aggravating circumstances to warrant particularly harsh treatment under the law. Yet, these men were given sentences that some individuals who are convicted of murder wouldn't receive.

Even more disturbing, I have recently learned that Agent Ramos was beaten by other inmates in prison this past Saturday while serving his term. Along with examining the sentencing of the Agents, I urge the Committee to look into why these Agents are not being protected while in the federal prison system. It is not hard to predict that two Federal Agents would be targeted in a prison population and that special precautions should be employed to ensure their safety.

Border Patrol Agents have a difficult and often dangerous job in guarding our nation's borders. I believe that aggressive prosecution of Border Patrol Agents has a chilling effect on their ability to carry out their duties and on the morale of all agents. I also believe that if wrong doing does occur, ensuring fair and safe treatment is essential. I am extremely concerned about how this case continues to unfold and I hope you will finish the Committee's work investigating this case.

Sincerely,

Dianne Feinstein
United States Senator


Letter to President Bush
The recent grotesque prosecution of two Border Patrol agents over the shooting of an illegal immigrant running drugs across our border combined with President Bush's abject failure to do anything about the immigration and border security problems moved SANE's Colonel T. Snodgrass to write directly to the President.

From: Thomas Snodgrass

To: The President

Sent: Wednesday, January 31, 2007 10:05 AM

Subject: Whom are you representing?

Mr. President:

You must certainly be proud of effectively representing the constituency that you apparently believe you were elected to represent -- Mexican drug runners, gun runners, human traffickers, petty criminals, the PRI, and the PAN. Your failure to fulfill your primary constitutional duty of protecting the people of this country from your "adopted" Mexican constituency by not enforcing the sovereignty of our border and U.S. immigration law should be grounds for your impeachment.

Your "open border policy" is just beyond rational comprehension. I have written you in the past about the lunacy of not enforcing border security after 9/11, and now the case detailed below is obviously the direct consequence of your protection of Mexican miscreants. This is your Justice Department running amok here. What do you plan to do next to these brave Americans who had the courage to carry out their duty of protecting our country in the face of your dereliction of duty? Extradite them to Mexico?

You and whoever has advised you on illegal immigration are pathetic!

In the ongoing battle to protect our borders from not only the flood of illegal aliens but also drug smugglers and terrorists, one particular incident has become the rallying point for border security advocates. This one case involving Border Patrol Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean is now garnering the attention of members of Congress and the White House. The question is simple... do we side with border patrol agents doing their jobs, or do we side with a drug smuggler?
Rep. Hunter, who has introduced legislation to pardon the agents (H.R. 563), says that the situation along the border "requires a strong law enforcement presence."

Democrats have a double standard on race

Excerpt from Capital News
Trent Lott salutes a 100 year old man, and he gets the boot as GOP leader in the Senate. Joe Biden says a black Senator is "clean" and he continues as chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Conservative GOP’ers are called bigots for opposing racial set asides. The Dean of the Democrats in the US Senate is a former Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan.

George Wallace, Ross Barnett and William Fulbright, who was a safe vote for segregation in the Senate, were all Democrats. GOP Leader Ev Dirksen gave the GOP votes for the Civil Rights Act, but Democrats are given the credit for civil rights.

Biden is a bigot, yet the Democrats say nothing. When Republicans vote to end racial set asides, quota’s and other demeaning government laws (similar to racial laws in the George Wallace south) they are called racists.

After it was confirmed on tape that Democratic Senator and presidential candidate Joe Biden did, indeed, say that Barack Obama was one of the first mainstream African-Americans seeking national office who was “clean” and “articulate”, even my Democrat wife predicted Biden’s political demise.

Look what global warming did to Okla. and Ark.

Snow, ice cause crashes in Okla., Ark.
A second winter storm in as many days hit Oklahoma and Arkansas early Thursday, closing schools, grounding planes and keeping roads slick and dangerous.

The storm followed snow and freezing drizzle that fell on the area Wednesday, causing dozens of accidents and four deaths.

The networks on Wednesday, without any sense of any questions about the media-fueled scientific "consensus," continued their hyperbolic panic over the supposed dire threat of global warming. ABC's Good Morning America displayed this on-screen throughout a report from weather reader Sam Champion: "Will Billions Die from Global Warming?" Champion eagerly relayed how the upcoming report from the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) "will estimate that between 1.1 and 3.2 billion people will suffer from water shortage problems by 2080. That's not your grandchildren, that's your children. And between 200 million and 600 million more people will be going hungry." NewsBusters

NBC: Beware of 'Global Warming'; No Wait,
Fear the 'Deep Freeze'
About 12 minutes into Thursday's NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams warned viewers about "global warming," but just eight minutes later NBC ran a story about the month-long "deep freeze" in Colorado. If journalists can fret about global warming every time there's a heat wave, it's just as legitimate to point out such a glaring contrast on a newscast even if the events are really no more contradictory than claiming above average temperatures one month are evidence of global warming.

With "Global Warming" on screen in the graphic over his shoulder, Williams promoted the "much-anticipated" upcoming report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change: "Global warming, they are to say, is very likely to be caused by people, by very likely, the scientists behind this report say, that means 90 percent certain." Williams went on to trumpet how "Al Gore has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for his work fighting global warming." Then, 20 minutes into the program, viewers saw "Deep Freeze" on screen as Williams noted how a month ago "the devastating first wave of winter smacked into Colorado," and as a result, "many of the cattle in Colorado are in deep trouble and suffering badly now." Reporter Kevin Tibbles began with a newborn calf struggling "to survive in an especially brutal Colorado winter." Tibbles highlighted how the majority of calves born to one rancher have died and the rancher blamed the temperature: "They were born in the snow and it was too cold..."
