The Federal Bureau of Investigation may have bigger things to worry about than law enforcement. Foreign Policy is reporting a change in the bureau’s latest fact sheet, in which the agency’s primary mission has changed from “law enforcement” to “national security.” It’s in keeping with the bureau’s post-9/11 duties as the nation’s primary domestic counterterrorism agency, but the timing has many FBI-watchers scratching their heads. What’s changed in the last year to make the bureau shift away from law enforcement?   Continue reading “The FBI drops ‘law enforcement’ from its mission statement”

The Media Needs to Point Out the Hypocrisy of These Blowhards

In response to the revelation that the NSA spies on Congress, Congressman Peter King says that the NSA should spy on Congress, to make sure congress members don’t call Al Qaeda.

King is a fine one to talk … he supported the Irish Republican Army for decades, even though the IRA was designated as a terrorist group.   Continue reading “The Biggest Terrorism Scaremongers Are THEMSELVES the Ones Promoting Terrorism”

How Many Constitutional Freedoms Have We Lost?

This post explains the liberties guaranteed in the Bill of Rights – the first 10 amendments to the United States Constitution – and provides a scorecard on the extent of the loss of each right.

Opposition is building quickly and quietly opposing Obama’s plan to ram through Congress one of the most ambitious “free-trade agreements” ever negotiated. Opposition to the legislation that could be introduced as soon as January 8 is gaining ground via the Internet.

Congratulations to all my friends who were born in the 1930’s, 1940’s, 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, and the early 1980s

They took aspirin, ate blue cheese, raw egg products, loads of bacon and processed meat, tuna from a can, and we didn’t get tested for diabetes or cervical cancer.   Continue reading “The Way We Were”
