Thousands of protesters attended rallies across the country in a renewed effort to
bring illegal immigration reform front and center for the White House. There were no reports of violence, but several arrests had taken place including Illinois Congressman, Luis Gutierrez and 40 others for civil disobedience outside the White House.

In San Diego the number of protesters at two rallies were far less than expected. At Chicano Park roughly 400-500 demonstrators watched the May Day festivities.

One San Diego resident, Leticia Singer said she came out to support the Latino community. “I’m originally from Mexico City, Mexico. I immigrated here legally 25 years ago,” she said. “I’m here to protest the new Arizona law because I think it is unjust.”

Keywords Singer uses are ‘immigrated legally.’ Most Americans don’t have a problem with legal immigration in fact they prefer those seeking to enter the country come through the ‘front door.’

Down the street another rally took place coined the ‘Pro American Rally.” These folks had fewer demonstrators as well as a different opinion on the immigration law in Arizona. Keep reading

Illegal alien wins defamation case for being called a ‘criminal’ – set back for 1st Amendment

An illegal-alien day laborer who attacked a U.S. photographer at a notorious San Diego day labor site in 2006, was awarded $2,500 in damages for “defamation per se” by Judge Ronald Styn in a non-jury trial in San Diego Superior Court.

The Mexican national plaintiff, Alberto Jimenez, who was illegally in the country at the time of the attack of Los Angeles photographer John Monti, sued San Diego Minutemen founder Jeff Schwilk for defamation for calling the illegal immigrant attackers “criminals” when he forwarded an email with Monti’s pictures of Jimenez and six other suspects who were at the scene of the crime.

Initially the lawsuit was filed in October 2007 and all seven men shown on the flyer sued Schwilk, Monti, and Fox News Corporation for defamation. However, Fox News and Monti were eventually dismissed from the case in 2008 and 2009 and six of the seven plaintiffs dropped their lawsuits against Schwilk in February, leaving only Jimenez vs. Schwilk for the one-day judge-only trial.

John Gardner pleads guilty to all charges for Amber Dubois and Chelsea King murders on Friday afternoon in a San Diego. In return the sexual predator will not face the death penalty.

The plea agreement states Gardner will get life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Amber Dubois, 14, went missing in February of 2009 and her body was recovered after Chelsea King’s murder took place in March of this year. Gardner was believed to be the killer of the Dubois case after DNA evidence linked the sexual predator to the King murder.

There has been speculation that Gardner was taken out of jail to show investigators the location of Dubois’ body in order to receive life in prison instead of  the death penalty. Authorities also report Gardner is the potential perpetrator of other missing girls in Southern California.

Courageous individuals who take the road less traveled often reach the end of the road with well-worn shoes, tattered clothing for the thankless actions and peace of mind knowing they accomplished something bigger than themselves.

When Dr. Jeffery Wigand began his career in the medical research industry he never thought his scientific research would send tsunami-like waves throughout the lucrative tobacco industry. Dr. Wigand did just that when he took the leap of faith to right the wrongs being perpetrated by the greedy tobacco companies.

Dr. Wigand started his scientific research career in the tobacco industry with Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corporation (B&W) the third largest tobacco company. The $300,000 salary secured him a slot as the vice president of Research and Development. With his health care background and impressive degrees, MA, Ph.D., MAT, Sc.D, Wigand set out to establish a new life and earn a respectable living for his young family.

It’s clear that Dr. Wigand wanted to change they way people refer to whistle blowers. “I would like to suggest that we start using the tern “Persons of Conscience (POC)” rather than the pejorative term “whistle blower” because of all its negative connotations, such as tattle tale, snitch, rat-fink, disloyal, etc. A POC sees a greater good worthy of praise and honor and therefore not to be demeaned for noble actions.”

He continues, “Persons of Consciences step forward, often in harms way to right a wrong for the betterment of all citizens of the universe and fulfill the categorical imperative and negate the “bystander” status.”

Dr Wigand is humbled by his experience with big tobacco. “I am honored that people think I am a hero but I do  not accept that moniker as others are much more deserving of it. I did what was right, I have no regrets and would do it again. As you see we are ordinary people placed in some extraordinary situations and did the right thing as all should do.”

12.9.2009 I wrote this blog in November of 2008 and evidently it was prophecy! 

60 Minutes and One Sure-Fire Plan 

As American we love new, improved products and this was never clearer than when Barack Obama was elected president a few weeks ago. After all he is the new, improved and younger version of our previous “products” in government. His whole platform was built on change. He would be changing the old guard of the GOP run show to he new improved, Democratic run show. So let’s review these changes so far, as he picks his cabinet and “new products” for the government. Oh yeah they aren’t new just a little “used” products. The ‘certified used’ version of government. After all his cabinet is starting to look a lot like

While watching President-Elect Obama’s first real interview since his election to office, on 60 Minutes  I was shaking my head, not in disbelief but in a “ here we go again “, way. He sounds like every other politician, but with a more polished version of the quid pro quo.   I thought this guy was supposed to be the “second coming”, the visionary, and the prophet for a new

Barack Obama also said he didn’t want more regulation on companies which sounds very much like the John McCain platform on taxing US companies. He had no answer for why the Treasury and Congress have allowed $300 billion to be sifted through unnamed banks and yet no one is better off. Maybe I missed the answer when I blinked. Apparently no one really knows the answer to that question. And when the subject came to the war in Iraq Obama was sure that our troops would be coming home sooner rather than later. This is easier to say now that

And now for his “New Deal”. Obama doesn’t believe we can recreate the solutions for the Depression on a situation that is different in the year 2008 on the financial crisis but his campaign used that very fear mongering when he was running for his current position. He also says he wants to be a President who is “straight “with the American people. So why did he seal his records at Harvard and his birth records in

It is true that Barack Obama is handsome to some and very charismatic to many but that doesn’t help us in the arena of International politics. His lack of experience evening his job as a Senator scares me. How does one gain experience from job you never actually worked at? He was elected but rarely if ever voted on anything. He didn’t write his won legislation, and I never heard of him doing anything for the people of his own State. Maybe I’m “disconnected” but I would think if he was really great at problem solving they would have been shoving it don our throats for the past two years. Instead they just showed us how inept our current government was; by the way he is actually part of that current government as a Senator.

Even more interesting about the interview on 60minutes was Obama’s claim to be seeking an “orderly” transition while Bush leaves office and Obama takes it. Has anyone ever seen an “un-orderly” transition? I mean by the nature of the job I think men leave the White House running. Bush is probably thrilled by now to be handing the problems of the Nation over to Obama, I know I would. I doubt they will have to tear Laura Bush from the candelabra in the White House. These things are done very orderly and by a list of routine I would suppose. I did feel sorry for Obama and his family though when he mentioned that his routine has been upset greatly by the turn of events and he is beginning to feel “disconnected” from his routines and people due to the Secret Service and pressures that follow being President –Elect. Hmmm, disconnected huh? Sounds familiar. Maybe that is just a by product of being a politician today.

But through it all Obama did in fact express his first concise plan for the Nation…He wants to create a National Playoff for College Football. He explained in great detail how he thought it should work and why. If he could explain his plan for any other problem as well I wouldn’t be so worried. I am put at ease now, knowing that the age-old question of the college football play off debate is now in the hands of the most powerful man in the world, the

Global warming skeptics were quick to pillage through emails after hackers broke into the server of a prominent British university that researches climate change.

The hackers were successful in obtaining emails that allegedly prove global warming is overstated and human influence on the environment is overstated.

Documents within the hacked email include discussion among researchers whether current trends could be disputed by skeptics and how to best combat those arguments.

Drafts of the technical documents and photos were discovered that could spark major debates in the world of science and administrations that are promoting economic policy based on the results of that scientific theory. For those who remain leery about whether the globe is actually warming or cooling, these documents could shed negative light within the scientific community. Keep reading

The White House is open for business and as such the first lady, Michelle, has hired roughly 25 staff members that report directly to her. This is a break from the previous two first ladies’; Hillary Clinton managed three employees, while Laura Bush had just one employee.

The magnitude of the first lady’s staff comes at a staggering taxpayer cost of $1.75 million per year. This number doesn’t include federal benefits, this cost is undisclosed.

The salaries rage from $172,200 at the high end to $36,000 on the low end. While most Americans suffer from the global-sized recession, the White House doesn’t seem to be too frugal with its spending practices. Keep reading

It’s just been a few weeks since the unjust release of the only terrorist convicted of the Pan Am Lockerbie bombing and a few hours after Muammar el-Qaddafi scathing 90-minute speech to the United Nations calling the U.N. Security Council a ‘terror council’ and now taxpayers are supposed to fork over $400,000.

The payment comes as another insult to American taxpayer when they are losing their homes and jobs.

However, there is a bi-partisan effort to stop payment of the funds in Congress. Rep. Mark Kirk-R, ILL and John Adler-D NJ are among the two dozen lawmakers looking to President Obama’s Administration to do the right thing.

The bi-partisan group believes the State Department will be sending the wrong message to the families of the Lockerbie bombing victims if they send the substantial chuck of money to Qaddafi’s children so-called ‘charity’ organizations.

“Just weeks after the Qaddafi family celebrated the return of a terrorist responsible for the murders of 189 Americans, the U.S. taxpayer should not be asked to reward them with $400,000,” says Kirk in a statement to the press.

However, the Qaddafi’s see things a little differently and claim this money will help the West’s standing inside Libya.

“When I arrived at the airport with Mr. Megrahi (convicted terrorist), there was not a single government official present,” says Qaddafi’s son Saif Al-Islam Qaddafi. “Contrary to reports in the Western press, there was no ‘hero’s welcome’ for Abdel Basset Ali al-Megrahi when he returned to Libya.”

Apparently his father, Muammar the Libyan dictator, is not part of the government, as he was among the thousands that greeted the convicted terrorist at the Libyan airport.

According to the State Department, they also plan to give Libya $2.5 million to support U.S. government agencies inside Libya.

In a letter, 18 Republicans and 8 Democrats asked President Obama to consider withdrawing the Administration request to give Qaddafi’s children $400,000 for their foundations.

After a whirlwind tour that started in Sacramento and ended in Washington D.C., Mason Weaver, a self -professed conservative, will launch a grassroots campaign against Susan Davis-D Calif. The journey to decision making took Weaver to eight tea party rallies across the country.

“Americans are screaming that they want representation. I’ve decided to give it to them,” Weaver says.

Weaver who is known for saying “I’m black, no hyphen required,” says all the paper work will be filed next week.

“I’ve been encouraged from a broad spectrum of leaders, spiritual, economical, grass roots and most importantly my family and friends to represent the people in California in 2010,” he says.

This normally shy guy says God took a shy person who stuttered and made him into a public speaker and now a possible Congressman.

After meeting with former Majority Leader for the Republicans, Dick Armey, who leads Freedom Works, Weaver decided he was tired of “seeing the hollow look in voters eyes who reside in his 53rd district.” Keep reading
