Recently, Yahoo! Finance interviewed William Black, a former regulator, who was counsel to the Federal Home Loan Bank Board during the S&L Crisis and blew the whistle on the “Keating Five” in 1989.

An unsettling discontent swells as I’m reminded of the closing words of Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, “a government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth”. His resolute celebration of liberty has come to symbolize the very definition of democracy itself. Yet, who among us today could muster the fatuous optimism to rally truthfully that this founding creed is practiced by our designated representatives in DC?
Shouldn’t government authority be derived from the consent of the governed? Shouldn’t our elected representatives … represent us?
Some issues that confront us as a nation transcend political parties. The ongoing fervor for bailouts is one such example. Just two months ago democrats and republicans, ordinary citizens, of sundry leanings deluged Congress with demands to vote against the $700 billion bailout plan. (read this entire post…)

national telephone survey finds that 68% of American adults prefer stores to show signs saying “Merry Christmas” rather than “Happy Holidays.”
Only one-quarter of adults (25%) favor signs that say “Happy Holidays.” Those figures are virtually unchanged from their survey conducted this time last year.
Men (71%) favor “Merry Christmas” slightly more than women (65%). (read this entire post…)

In the latest edition of the Globe magazine that’s hitting the news stands Friday (2008-11-28), the Larry Sinclair story is front page news. The upcoming book by Larry Sinclair professes details of his relationship with Barack Obama, the President-elect’s drug usage with Sinclair, Obama’s ties to Donald Young (TUCC’s Choir Director) and his subsequent murder, and the attempts by the Obama team to stop Sinclair’s story during the campaign. Reports of the tell-all book have made their way to Obama, and he is said to be seething that this matter has not been “resolved”.
On Wednesday (2008-11-26), Rush Limbaugh suggested that we apply the left’s notion of taxing oil companies to taxing food producers … “Let’s blame greedy food speculators for driving up the price of food.”
Note …
The extreme left believes that oil companies’ profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are greedy; but, the government taxing the same gallon of gas at 15% isn’t. The oil companies actually do the work of refining the crude oil; the government does not do ANY work in producing the gas.

Antoin “Tony” Rezko, the central figure in a major Illinois political corruption scandal asked late Wednesday (2008-11-26) for a federal judge to set a sentencing date at the “earliest possible date”, signaling that he has ended his cooperation with prosecutors in an ongoing investigation.
The Syrian-born Rezko, who made millions of dollars as a Chicago real estate developer and fast-food entrepreneur, was a major fundraiser for Governor Rod Blagojevich, President-elect Barack Obama, and a number of other officials. He was convicted in June of using clout with the governor’s office to launch a $7 million scheme to obtain payoffs from a construction contractor and seven money management firms seeking state business.
As Ben Tracy reports in this Sky News broadcast, charities in America that distribute food to the needy say they cannot keep up with demand as six million people head to “food pantries” for help.
During a light rain, thousands of Icelanders demonstrated in Reykjavik on Saturday (2008-11-22) demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Geir Haarde and Central Bank Governor David Oddsson for failing to stop a financial meltdown in the country. It was the latest in an escalating series of protests in the capital over the island nation’s crippled economy.
A separate group of several hundred people gathered in front of the city’s main police station demanding the release of a young protester being held there. Police in riot gear used pepper spray to drive back the attempt to free the protester during which several windows at the police station were shattered. Five were injured. The protester was eventually released after he paid a fine for rioting. (read this entire post…)

Retired attorney and New Jersey resident Leo C. Donofrio asked the U.S. Supreme Court for an emergency stay on November 3 prohibiting three candidates from appearing on New Jersey’s ballots: Republican candidate John McCain, Democratic candidate Barack Obama and Socialist Worker’s Party candidate Roger Calero.
Donofrio claimed the candidates are not “natural born citizens” as enumerated in Article 2, Section 1, of the Constitution of the United States, which states, “No person except a natural born citizen of the United States, at the time of adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President.” He wrote, Obama is not eligible for the presidency “even if it were proved he was born in Hawaii, since … Senator Obama’s father was born in Kenya and therefore, having been born with split and competing loyalties, candidate Obama is not a ‘natural born citizen’ …”
This case was dismissed by Justice Souter on November 6. It was refiled and submitted to Justice Clarence Thomas on November 14. It is currently Distributed for Conference by the Supreme Court on December 5, 2008. Once a stay application is denied, a renewed application is truly a desperate measure the success of which is very rare in Supreme Court history. Clearly, Justice Thomas considers this to be an extremely serious matter.

The U.S. government has bailed out Citigroup Inc, once the nation’s largest financial institution, agreeing to guarantee most of the potential losses on $306 billion of high risk assets AND inject $20 billion of new capital from the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) … in its biggest rescue of a bank yet. This comes after Citigroup received a $25 billion bailout just a few weeks ago (which it used for acquisitions rather than for mortgages or business loans!!!).
A reported by SANE, four clients of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) have filed a federal civil complaint alleging criminal fraud and racketeering against CAIR, a self-described public interest civil rights law firm. The lawsuit also names CAIR’s national leadership as individual defendants.
The defendants were served with the complaint and summons to appear while attending the CAIR 14th Annual Dinner Sunday night (2008-11-23) in Arlington, Virginia. Congressman Ellison (D-Minn) was a guest speaker at this affair.
As presented yesterday (2008-11-22) on Fox News, Bret Baier reports that Wesley Pruden of the Washington Times challenges Al Gore’s global warming claims. Today, with all of the evidence mounting against the profit-motivated theory of man-made global warming, Al Gore has changed his buzzword from “global warming” to “climate change” … which … covers every conceivable short-term and long-term weather pattern variance.

President-Elect Obama promised “change” throughout his campaign and a break from the politics of the past. Looks like that’s not going to happen. Most of his early staff and cabinet picks are retreads from the Clinton administration.
Here’s the latest edition of Michael C. Brown’s conservative commentary. He’s the writer/director/producer of the 2008 election season’s most popular video “Dear Mr. Obama”. Currently that video has more than 13 MILLION views.

On November 6th a couple of radio DJs (Mike in the Morning) from WRIF in Detroit called the Kenyan Embassy and were put through to the Ambassador, to ask about the national mood subsequent to Obama’s Presidential victory. Toward the end of the call (12:39), they asked the Ambassador questions about President-Elect Obama’s birthplace in Kenya.
Kenyan Ambassador to the United States, His Excellency Peter Ogego, admitted in this radio interview that Barack Obama was born in Kenya! When the radio talk show’s co-host asked if there was going to be a marker where President-Elect Barack Obama was born in Kenya, Kenyan Ambassador Ogego said his birthplace in Kenya “is already an attraction … it’s already well known.”
