Last September I reported on a project spearheaded by Vietnam veteran George Samek called “Laptops for Wounded Warriors,” launched at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington D.C. The purpose of the project was to raise funds for laptops to donate to medical facilities across America for wounded military personnel to use while they recover from war injuries. Since then, the project has expanded and laptops and IPods have been donated to Bethesda Naval Hospital and Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Plans for 2010 include donating laptops and IPods to Camp LeJeune, …

Last week the Obama Administration announced they were transferring suspected terrorists from Gitmo to Thomson Correctional Facility in Illinois to create jobs. Today a hearing, mandated by State Law, intended to decide the pros and cons of selling the correctional facility to the Federal government, begins at 2:00 PM. It is open to the public. It is also worth noting that prison overpopulation is an issue in several states, including Illinois and California.
The federal government will acquire Thomson Correctional Center in Thomson, Ill., transforming the prison in a …

Back in 2004, under the Bush Administration, it was revealed that the men and women of the US armed forces were sent to war without the proper equipment, now five years later, according to John Donnelly’s report at Congress.org, under the Obama Administration, the problem persists.
Soldiers’ complaints spur inquiry
Senior Democrats on the House Armed Services Committee have asked Pentagon leaders to explain repeated reports of inadequate equipment and training for troops headed to war.

While countries around the world, in virtual lockstep, refuse to accept the relocation of their own citizens– suspected terrorists–from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, a House-Senate panel of the Illinois legislature will consider Governor Quinn’s (and the Obama Administration’s) plan to sell the Thomson Correctional Center, to the federal government to house the Gitmo detainees. The panel will meet in northwest Illinois, where the correctional center is located.
But not so fast, there are residents in Illinois who are outraged by the Obama Administration’s plans for their backyard and they are holding …

For a preview of what New Yorkers and Americans can expect when the Obama Administration, at taxpayer expense, brings the 9/11 terrorists to Manhattan to be tried in civilian court, instead of trying them under a military tribunal at Gitmo, read the unclassified 7-page Pro Se Filing Order from Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Wallo Bin Attash, Ramzi Bin As-Shibh, Ali Abo Al Aziz Ali, Mastafa Ahmed, Al-Hawsawi called “The Islamic Response to the Goverment’s Accusations.”
For starters, according to the document, the self proclaimed jihadists are quick to clarify: “With regards …

An email apparently from President Barack Obama was just sent out to his supporters asking Americans to “donate $5 or whatever” they can “afford today,” to “fight alongside” him in the final stretch for health care reform. Organizing for America paid for the campaign email.
In the email, the President of the United States, referring to health care opponents, said, “So I have a message for them, from all of us: Not this time. We have come too far. We will not turn back. We will not back down.”

Freedom demonstrations have broken out in Iran. Once again, thousands of brave Iranian people are rising up against the largest state sponsor of terrorism, the Iranian regime. Reportedly, the anti-regime protestors are chanting “Death to Khamenei, ” referring to Iran’s Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
“This feels like 1979 in reverse, the students are leading the battle and the regime of the IRI will fall” was one of the litany of descriptions coming via Twitter, one of the few resources for Iranians to use to tell the world what …

New Yorkers came out today to protest Obama’s attorney general Eric Holder’s decision to bring admitted 9/11 terror mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali, Mustafa Ahmad al-Hawsawi, Ramzi Binalshibh and Waleed bin Attash to New York City to be tried in federal district court. Among the many speakers was Debra Burlingame, the sister of one of the pilots murdered in the cockpit of the plane that hit the Pentagon, Andrew C. McCarthy, Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney who led the 1995 prosecution against Shiek Omar Abdel Rahman and …

Update from What Bubba knows

It would be interesting to create a poll with these two photos and have people guess what’s happening. I suspect that most would never assume anything close to the real story. It appears to be a joyous homecoming, a reuniting of mother and son.
The truth is not so heart warming.
The lady in the picture is the mother of an American that was ambushed in Fallujah, Iraq. Her son was murdered. His body was dragged around in the streets of the city, then …
