HELENA, Montana - July 9, 2010 - A proposed plan to teach kindergartners sex education has come under fire in Helena, Montana.

The Helena Public School system is considering a comprehensive plan for students in kindergarten through 12th grade. It includes teaching first graders that people can be attracted to the same gender. In second grade students are instructed to avoid homosexual slurs and by the time students turn 10 years old they are taught about various types of intercourse.

August 4, 2010 - There is probably no more horrific and frightening incurable disease than Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). Also known as the human form of mad cow disease, this degenerative, always fatal brain disorder strikes about one person in every million worldwide each year, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS). CJD results in the brain literally being turned into sponge-like, hole-filled tissue (the reason the disease is also known as spongiform encephalopathy). It usually runs a rapid course, causing failing memory, hallucinations, lack of coordination and visual disturbances followed by total mental deterioration, involuntary movements, blindness and coma.

WASHINGTON - August 4, 2010 - For the last few years, federal agencies have defended body scanning by insisting that all images will be discarded as soon as they're viewed. The Transportation Security Administration claimed last summer, for instance, “scanned images cannot be stored or recorded."

Now it turns out that some police agencies are storing the controversial images after all. The U.S. Marshals Service admitted this week that it had surreptitiously saved tens of thousands of images recorded with a millimeter wave system at the security checkpoint of a single Florida courthouse.

LAHORE, Pakistan - August 1, 2010 - The Pakistan Taliban may be responsible for attacks that have killed more than 1,000 civilians this year. The U.S. may be in the midst of providing the country with $7.5 billion in aid. But average Pakistanis like the United States less than Al Qaeda and just a little more than the Taliban.

Roughly 17% of Pakistanis have a favorable view of the U.S. in a new poll conducted by the Pew Research Center’s Global Attitudes Project, while 59% described the U.S. as an enemy of Pakistan. About 15% view the Taliban favorably, up from 10% a year ago. Al Qaeda tops both groups, with 18% of Pakistanis viewing the group favorably, up from 9% a year ago.

This is a horrifying but true report on a real effort to garner state support for bypassing the Constitution in the selection of presidential candidates. This effort, if successful, would eliminate any remaining republican forms of government and establish an absolute Democracy, in which the individual and any minorities have no voice in their government whatsoever. However, even if this proposal garners the desired state support, it is a clear violation of the Constitution and so would almost certainly be challenged by the Judiciary. Nevertheless, this patently un-American and unlawful proposal should be stopped now!

July 26, 2010 - Many of the freedoms we enjoy here in the U.S. are quickly eroding as the nation transforms from the land of the free into the land of the enslaved, but what I'm about to share with you takes the assault on our freedoms to a whole new level. You may not be aware of this, but many Western states, including Utah, Washington and Colorado, have long outlawed individuals from collecting rainwater on their own properties because, according to officials, that rain belongs to someone else.

WASHINGTON - July 25, 2010 - It has been reported that 46 states are on the verge of bankruptcy. Since states are constitutionally mandated to balance their budgets and do not possess the ability to print money, they’re finding themselves in a critically weakened position to challenge the federal government.

WASHINGTON - July 23, 2010 - Thousands of police officers have been laid off all across Amerika since the current economic crisis began. Thousands more are getting ready to be laid off. So could we be on the verge of a new era of chaos and anarchy in Amerika as crime runs wild and there are just far too few police to respond to it all? That is the message that one blood-smeared billboard in Stockton, Kalifornia is trying to convey.
