I periodically report on the goings on over at ICE. I would be an idiot to say that all ICE agents were bad. They are not. But there are enough rotten apples in the bunch to make the others look bad. If ICE is to be a worthy agency, doing work deporting truly evil individuals and “protecting” the US, then we need to get rid of those agents who are not exactly ready for prime-time. There are enough reports of things going wrong, of agents ignoring the law, and of prisoner abuse to raise an ... more»
THE GREAT CAT SOAP OPERA Mommy Cat is pregnant again. She has no shame.
Sorry for the lite posting today. I have an article due before I leave for Tombstone this weekend and need to get the first draft of it to the editor. Yes, it’s about Tombstone. This time though, it is about the Vendetta Posse through the eyes of Endicott Peabody. I’ve also been working on a few other things, and getting ready for 10 days in Tombstone. Making things even more interesting is planning a birthday surprise for my mother when she gets ... more»
Two weeks ago my mother told me the Dems in Congress would seek to destroy Roger Clemens but let Barry Bonds get out of jail free, so to speak. I told her she was wrong. Unfortunately she is right.
I think we have established that Clemens is self-serving and no one really likes him. I don’t think he deserves this kind of treatment. A person is innocent until proven guilty. But when does this just start becoming a witch hunt?
“…The Daily News has learned that in the days since the Feb. 13 public hearing on steroids ... more»
I have several selections of problems dealing with Barack Obama. Once again, the MSM is fawning over him, like that very funny SNL skit on Saturday. They aren’t even complaining when his campaign treats them like dirt. Would someone like to explain what is going on here? First, why isn’t the MSM paying attention to the Rezko affair?
“…A British-Iraqi billionaire lent millions of dollars to Barack Obama's fundraiser just weeks before an imprudent land deal that has returned to haunt the presidential contender, an investigation by The Times discloses. The money transfer raises ... more»
When I started on this piece this evening, I was simply going to post the PDF’s for the polygraph, and doing a bit of humble pie. BUT – since then, there are some absolutely fascinating developments. First, the polygraph expert used is a fraud. Second, someone is circulating an email about a fake WPost editorial. Third, I have an interesting little video by Larry Sinclair. There is something going on here. Either the man is telling the truth, or he is a nut job to be feared. I want to know why White House ... more»
“…"I think baseball is trying to clean up its act," Aaron said, sitting in the Braves' dugout during batting practice. "It's unfortunate for baseball, but baseball has been through some tough times. It went through the White Sox scandal and survived. It went through a lot of things and survived. It's going to survive this, too."…”
As a baseball fan, I am suffering through the whole steroid scandal. But there is more to it. When it first broke, I was probably one of the first to suggest Roger Clemens go the way of Shoeless ... more»
Have you heard the story of the Amber Room? It was a legendary room where the panels in the walls were of amber and the trim was of gold. It was considered one of the most beautiful things in the world, only to be looted by the Nazis and taken to Germany during World War II. The story has been something out of a failed Indiana Jones movie and is going to make an incredible book. They think part of the Amber Room has been found!
“…If the find is correct, one of the war's greatest mysteries ... more»
Below you will probably find everything you never wanted to know about HGH. I think the only way we are ever going to find out if some of these players has used HGH is when and if the end up dying of some of the terrible side effects of the HGH cocktail. What happens is there are some designer anabolic steroids that can be flushed out of a system within 24 hours. Then the anabolic steroid is enhanced with a high dose of HGH. That's how it works. The big problem is the fact that the actual ... more»
I'm happy! My throat is sore from screaming and my
hands hurt from clapping. I've not yelled and screamed this
much since the spring of 1994 when I heard on the news that SC's 3rd
District Congressman Butler Derrick was retiring. THIS IS
BIGGER! In the 2001 Barry Bonds allegedly hit 73 home runs.
The only problem is that year he tested positive for steroids it has
just been revealed.
Bonds' home-run record is based
on a sham. He cheated. If nothing less, he needs ... more»
Once again Malkin goes ballistic over something she knows very little about, but since it says “Mexico” and it might assist Mexico, and all Mexicans are evil, then it is automatically bad. Hot Air waxes poetic because Rush mentions Malkin. Hot Air’s link to Rush. What is even more fascinating is that one of Malkin’s “gods” The Heritage Foundation APPROVES of this move. THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION approves of the Merida Initiative. I guess on Malkin’s part, ignorance is bliss as she continues to harp on what is a very good thing and a long time ... more»
