Bible buzz begins as Ark hunters wait to view Ten Commandments box

We're watching the History Channel this early afternoon, Mountain time and they are doing a special about the Seven Signs of the Apocalypse and then I find this article. ooooo, spooky.

Ark hunters and Bible enthusiasts are buzzing about a report that the Ark of the Covenant, the ancient container that holds the Ten Commandments, is expected to be unveiled in Rome today.

As WND reported, the patriarch of the Orthodox Church of Ethiopia says he will announce to the world the unveiling of the Ark, which he says has been hidden away in a church in his country for millennia, according to the Italian news agency Adnkronos.

Abuna Pauolos, in Italy for a meeting with Pope Benedict XVI this week, told the news agency, "Soon the world will be able to admire the Ark of the Covenant described in the Bible as the container of the tablets of the law that God delivered to Moses and the center of searches and studies for centuries."

Can it be true? We will have to wait and see. For those who believe the end is near, this will be huge. I wonder how the Israelis will react? I mean this discovery could really change the world. Think about all the people that do not believe in God, how would they explain this away? And what would the Muslim world do about this revelation? Ah, we really do live in interesting times. Hey, isn't that a Chinese Curse!

Pro-Iran Hackers Deface Oregon University Web Site

This is in no way shape or form anything that the average or even above average Iranian, could do. This is the work of the Iranian Government as a smoke screen to mask the deaths and terrorism they are reigning down upon their people.
This is a prime example of why our beloved Founding Fathers made sure we had the Second Amendment to "protect against a Tyrannical Government".

From The AP:

PORTLAND, Oregon — Hackers defaced the home page of the Oregon University System, posting a caustic message telling President Obama to mind his own business and stop talking about the disputed Iranian election.

Attempts to access the university system's Web site were automatically redirected to another page, where readers viewed a message said to be from Iran that asserted there was no cheating in the election. That message was up for 90 minutes before university system technicians intervened Wednesday morning.

The hackers apparently took advantage of third-party software that had not been properly updated, university system spokeswoman Diane Saunders said. Hackers frequently attack the system's computers, but technicians usually beat back their efforts, she said.

"They are able to stomp on most of them," Saunders said.

Again, people, please go to the link and read the entire article and make your own "informed" decision about this issue. Then, go and Google our Bill of rights. They were created for a reason.

Ten Lessons Learned From Past Rail Accidents

From Popular Mechanics:

The death toll from Monday's terrible rail accident in Washington, D.C., hasn't yet been verified, but early estimates put it at nine people, with scores of others injured.

While rescuers continue to search the wreckage for survivors, investigators from both Washington's Metro and the National Transportation Safety Board have begun their investigations into the deadliest train wreck in D.C. history.

Months may pass before we know exactly what caused one train on the Metro's Red Line to slam into the back of another, jackknifing on top of it. Early speculation holds that the operator never hit the brake before slamming into the train in front.

When investigators find out more, this week's crash will join other crashes scattered through the years that taught train operators valuable safety lessons.

You are going to have to actually read the entire article, it's a good one and very informative. Our prayers and thoughts go out to the families of the deceased. Disasters happen folks, are you prepared?

I love Popular Mechanics, they are fair and balanced and shot down the "Nut Jobs" that questioned what happened on 911. With real "facts", not "speculation".

EDITORIAL: Sotomayor's ethical oversight

I usually do not use Editorials, but this is a good one.

From The Washington Times:

Supreme Court nominee Judge Sonia Sotomayor seems to think different rules apply to her than to everyone else.

On Page 143 of her Senate Judiciary Committee questionnaire, she said she "practiced alone" in a side legal business from 1983 to 1986 "as a consultant to family and friends." During that time, she also was serving as a prosecutor and then as a member of a larger law firm. Judge Sotomayor listed the name of the solo practice as Sotomayor and Associates.

Advertising a solo practice as if it has more than one lawyer is a problem. Judge Sotomayor appears to have violated this minor but clear rule of legal ethics for four years.

I know all you libs out there are saying conservatives are making mountains out of molehills when it comes to this Judge. But we are not. This is a very important appointment, it's a life time appointment to the highest court in the land. It's unfortunate that we are replacing one activist Judge with a "more" liberal, activist Judge. Judges need to be impartial and conservative. These people effect our lives with every single decision they make. Remember the Kelo decision? Row vs Wade?

NASA Probe Beams Home New Images of the Moon

I know it's been a while since I blogged. But here we go again. Now this article is funny on two fronts. Read first then I will explain.

From Space.com:

A new NASA probe beamed down live images of the moon early Tuesday to reveal a stark surface littered with craters, as it flew toward a planned crash at the lunar south pole later this year.

The $79 million Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite, or LCROSS, launched toward the moon on June 18 and began sending images today at 8:20 a.m. EDT (1220 GMT).

LCROSS and an attached empty Centaur rocket stage swooped down near the lunar south pole and continued north along the far side of the moon. The spacecraft is getting into position to crash down on the surface on Oct. 9.

"I am staring at Mendeleev (Lat 5.7N, Lon 140.9E), a large ancient impact basin with uniform floor deposits," the spacecraft (or rather, NASA spokespeople writing as the spacecraft) posted on Twitter shortly after the flyby began.

Ok, first, we need to be building a lunar base on the moon, not crashing billion dollar space crafts into it's craters. Second, Twitter! Twitter! our tax payer dollars are going to Twitter! See, I thought all the hype about everyone on the planet Twetting and Twittering was an over statement of facts. But apparently not. lol

Six Flags files for Chapter 11

What? No bail out for amusement parks? Oh that's right our elected cockroaches are in the process of raising taxes on all of the "things" we common people do for enjoyment, like drink sweet drinks, drink alcohol and eat fatty foods. How dare we ask them to help amusement parks?

From San Francisco Business Times:

Debt-ridden amusement park operator Six Flags has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization.

The New York-based chain of parks, which runs Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, has been trying to renegotiate terms with lenders on hundreds of millions of dollars in debt.

Six Flags parks, including Discovery Kingdom., will continue to operate as usual under reorganization.

I guess they are not "too Big to fail", Huh? But notice that they say they are "reorganizing". I wonder if we let all the rest of these companies "reorganize", what would happen? Any thoughts?

North Korea says it will 'weaponize' its plutonium

This is not going away folks, until their weapons are destroyed. I could not stand the way former President Bush dealt with this situation. We are wimps when it comes to this issue and it is because of China.

From MyWay:

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - North Korea vowed Saturday to step up its atomic bomb-making program and threatened war if its ships are stopped as part of new U.N. sanctions aimed at punishing the nation for its latest nuclear test.

North Korea's Foreign Ministry also acknowledged for the first time that the country has a uranium enrichment program, and insisted it will never abandon its nuclear ambitions. Uranium and plutonium can be used to make atomic bombs.

The threats, in a statement issued through the official Korean Central News Agency, came a day after the Security Council approved new sanctions aimed at depriving the North of the financing used to build its rogue nuclear program.

The resolution also authorized searches of North Korean ships suspected of transporting illicit ballistic missile and nuclear materials.

So finally the UN does something. It is amazing to me how many "libs" love this ineffectual entity. And want it to "ruuullee the woorrld". I just want it's headquarters out of my country.

From LaTimes:

Reporting from Washington -- The Obama administration is prepared to halt North Korean ships on the high seas to carry out the newest United Nations sanctions against Pyongyang's arms trade, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N. said Friday.

Susan Rice said the United States would intensify its scrutiny of North Korea's trade in banned weapons, and if U.S. commanders suspect a ship is carrying them, "we are prepared to confront that vessel."Rice's comments to reporters at the White House came soon after the U.N. Security Council voted unanimously for new sanctions against North Korea to register its displeasure over Pyongyang's recent nuclear and missile tests.

Rice said the U.S. Navy wouldn't forcibly board such ships, but would direct them to a nearby port for inspection. North Korea has warned that it would regard such interdictions as an act of war.

Is ABC showing it's true colors?

I don't know if this is true or not because it was e-mailed to me via a good friend. But I will post it and let ya'll decide. Cause I know how informed you all are about our "Lame Stream Media". I wouldn't put it past them, though, I have stopped watching many shows on the "Big Three" over the years just for this reason.

I have permission from the author of this post to include the entire thing as per his ending statements.



A Coach In Childress, Texas Writes To ABC Network

Jim Writes:


My name is Jim Neugent. I wrote to ABC (on-line) concerning a program called 'THE PRACTICE.' In last night's episode, one of the lawyer's mothers decided she is gay and wanted her son to go to court and help her get a marriage license so she could marry her 'partner.' I sent the following letter to ABC yesterday and really did not expect a reply, but I did get one.


My original message was:

ABC is obsessed with the subject of homosexuality. I will no longer watch any of your attempts to convince the world that homosexuality is OK. ' THE PRACTICE' can be a fairly good show, but last night's program was so typical of your agenda. You picked the 'dufus' of the office to be the one who was against the idea of his mother being gay, and made him look like a whiner because he had convictions. This type of mentality calls people like me a 'gay basher.'


Read the first chapter of Romans (that's in the Bible); and see what the apostle Paul had to say about it..... He, God and Jesus were all 'gay bashers'. What if she'd fallen in love with her cocker spaniel? Is that an alternative life style? (By the way, the Bible speaks against that, too.)
--Jim Neugent

Here is ABC's reply from the ABC on-line webmaster:

How about getting your nose out of the Bible (which is ONLY a book of stories compiled by MANY different writers hundreds of years ago) and read the declaration of independence (what our nation is built on), where it says 'All Men are Created equal,' and try treating them that way for a change!

Or better yet, try thinking for yourself and stop using an archaic book of stories as your lame crutch for your existence. You are in the minority in this country, and your boycott will not affect us at ABC or our freedom of statement.


Jim Neugent's second response to ABC:


Thanks for your reply. From your harsh reply, evidently I hit a nerve. I will share it with all with whom I come in contact. Hopefully, the Arkansas Democrat Newspaper will include it in one of their columns and I will be praying for you.

- -Jim Neugent- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Note: Wouldn't Satan just love it if people stopped using the Bible for a crutch?
Please resend this to everyone in your mailbox.

Jim Neugent

I wonder if the person from ABC considered how many people would eventually read this e-mail!

Please, pass this on to others so they may be aware.

WE NEED TO SAVE WHAT WE HAVE LEFT OF THIS COUNTRY!

Any thoughts my readers?

How 'hate crimes' work in the real world

Well here we are again, my Uncooperative Readers and Listeners. Let's all hold hands, (why not; the libs sing cum-by-ya all the time) and dissect this one.

From WND:

WASHINGTON – No one really knows what was going through the mind of Nicholas John Profitt, 31, when he allegedly threw rocks that damaged the front door of the Islamic Center in Cape Girardeau, Missouri.

Was it an act of anti-Islamic bigotry? Or was it a random act of vandalism?

Nevertheless, Profitt has been charged with a hate crime. What would have been a misdemeanor count becomes a class D felony.

Instead of facing a maximum sentence of four years in prison, Profitt is facing up to seven – the difference due to his state of mind, what he was thinking or not thinking when he threw the rocks.

That's partly what's at stake when the U.S. Senate considers a national hate crimes bill that will add special penalties against individuals guilty of crimes based on ethnic, religious and racial hatred and new classifications based on sexual orientation – legislation that has been dubbed by critics as "The Pedophile Protection Act." Richard Land, the head of the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, wrote to Sen. Jeff Sessions, the ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, last week "to express our strong opposition to S. 909, the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act, which would add 'sexual orientation' and 'gender identity' specially protected categories for victims of violent crimes. We urge you to vigorously oppose this bill, including by filibuster if necessary."

Land said the legislation is both unnecessary and unconstitutional.

"Laws are already in place to prosecute individuals for every form of violent crime committed against others," he wrote. "Yet the hate crimes legislation would afford special protections to some individuals but deny such protections to others, thereby making the latter second-class citizens. This would turn on its head the 14th Amendment, which grants equal protection under the law."

What I find interesting is that, when you access the link; you'll find a huge picture of Senator Jeff Session and he is only mentioned in one sentence of this entire article. What's up with that? Oh, and if you commit a crime; guess what? IT'S A CRIME. Either amend your own states constitution to not make that action a crime or suck it up.

Official: Kim's Youngest Son Apparent Successor in North Korea

Kim Jong II's crazy offspring to ruulllle the world. Yea! Oh come on people, Brian and I have done "the story according to Kim" many times on this blog and on our Radio Show. The man is insane, so it's not a leap to think that his offspring is "more" insane.

From Fox News:

North Korea has told top officials to pledge allegiance to Kim Jong Il's youngest son, apparently setting him up to succeed his 67-year-old father.

A senior U.S. intelligence official confirmed South Korean media reports that the secretive communist state was sending "guidance" to its missions in foreign countries to swear fealty to 26-year-old Kim Jong Un as the next leader of North Korea.

"The directive went out," the official told FOX News. "This guidance isn't a suggestion — it's an order."

The official described the directive as a milestone in the history of North Korea. But the official contradicted a Reuters report that suggested North Korea would ratchet down tensions and enter talks over its nuclear program, having worked out its line of succession.

The "News Behind the News", in this case is the reason that he picked his youngest son. His two elder son's were becoming "moderinzed". One even went to Japan without his father's permission to go to Tokyo Disneyland, Ah, those rebellious teenagers, I mean "middle aged" children.
