John Mccain playing the war hero card? with all due repect?

John Mccain playing the war hero card? with all due repect?


He was a victim of the Vietnam war, that was the 5th plane he lost.

his fellow poilots gave him the nick name of "crash".

He barely graduated from the Naval Academy, almost last in his class. Problaby
with a little nudge from the his admiral uncle.

While captured by the North Vietnamese he made tape recordings for them.

He would have been in the stockade after the war for his pow behavior,
but his admiral uncle had the rules changed to avoid imprisionment for him.


This has all been documented, but the media still treats him as a sort of
war hero/pilot.

Wish someone in the media pick up on past and shed a little light
on his real military career.

I am stumped as to why ?

FAIR Congratulates New York Senate

FAIR Congratulates New York Senate for Opposing
Plan to Give Driver's Licenses to Illegal Aliens
(Washington DC) The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), which represents some 12,000 members in New York State, issued the following statement regarding the passage of S. 6484, a bill before the New York State Senate requiring proof of legal U.S. residence to obtain a driver's license. The bill was approved Monday by a 39-19 vote:

"FAIR congratulates Sen. Frank Padavan and a bipartisan coalition of legislators for their swift and decisive action to block Gov. Eliot Spitzer's plan to reward illegal aliens in New York with driver's license privileges. S. 6484 is a victory for common sense, the rule of law and national security. The bill also reflects the overwhelming opinion of New Yorkers, more than 70 percent of whom oppose granting driver's licenses to illegal aliens.

"A driver's license is the de facto document that Americans use to identify themselves in a variety of situations, including boarding airplanes. The terrorists who killed nearly 3,000 people in New York on September 11, 2001 used driver's licenses issued by New Jersey, Virginia and Florida to board flights that morning. It is inconceivable to most New Yorkers that given the enormous price that the state has already paid for lax issuance of these vital identity documents, that Gov. Spitzer is intent on reversing the state's longstanding policy of requiring proof of legal residence to obtain a New York license or identity card.

"We urge the Assembly to follow the lead of the State Senate and reaffirm New York's commitment to protecting the security of its people and the nation. Ensuring road safety in New York can and should be accomplished by enforcing existing motor vehicle codes against people who drive without licenses and insurance, not by capitulating to the demands of the illegal alien lobby.

"It is time for Gov. Spitzer to listen to the law-abiding people of New York, to national security experts, and to local officials who issue licenses. He needs to abandon his ill-advised efforts which reward illegal immigrants at great risk to the public.

report for New Jersey Pick lotto prepared on 10/18/2007

from the desk of Janet Napolitano

Education has been one of my top priorities since the day I took office, which is why I am excited to announce that October 2007 is Arizona’s first College Savings Month. To succeed in our 21st century global economy, every Arizona student should have the opportunity to pursue education beyond high school. Not only does higher education allow for tremendous personal growth, but it also provides endless professional opportunities and higher earning potential.


In the Arizona economy, less than two percent of top-earning jobs will be available to workers whose educations end at a high school diploma. College Savings Month recognizes that a family saving a little money at a time can make a big difference in a child’s future – and there are tools available to help.

This month, the Arizona Commission for Postsecondary Education is reaching out to families to share information about new saving options that can help facilitate what was once a complicated process. These options include the Arizona Family College Savings Program (AFCSP), a 529 plan that allows Arizonans to save for post-secondary education in much the same way as a retirement account.

Families who use the AFCSP, or contribute to any other 529 plan, will be eligible for a state tax deduction effective January 1, 2008. Single tax filers can receive up to a $750 deduction; taxpayers who are married and filing jointly will be permitted up to a $1,500 deduction.

College Savings Month organizers are offering a series of seminars providing information on the new state tax incentive and the AFCSP. For more information on these seminars or to download a planner, visit www.az529.gov.

As always, if you have suggestions or questions, or if you would like information, please call my office at 1-800-253-0883 and ask to speak to Constituent Services, or visit www.azgovernor.gov for more information from my office.


Yours very truly,

Janet Napolitano
Governor

Rush's letter from Reid is now on ebay.

private citizen, forty-one of them sent a letter demanding the "repudiation" of their inaccurate interpretation of Rush Limbaugh's comments about Jesse Al-Zaid (a.k.a. Jesse MacBeth) and other "phony soldiers" who falsify their service. This letter was delivered to Mark Mays of Clear Channel Communications, Rush Limbaugh's syndication partner, and widely quoted in the Drive-By Media.

Up for auction is the original letter signed by 41 Democrat senators. This historic document may well represent the first time in the history of America that this large a group of U.S. senators attempted to demonize a private citizen by lying about his views. As such, it is a priceless memento of the folly of Harry Reid and his 40 senatorial co-signers.

The entire proceeds of this auction.. the entire high bid... will be donated to The Marine Corps - Law Enforcement Foundation, a registered charity which provides financial assistance to the children of fallen Marines and federal law enforcement officers. Rush Limbaugh serves on the Board of this organization and has been active on its behalf. All costs of this auction will be paid by the seller... every dollar of your winning bid will go to this charity, which has to date distributed over $29 million.

CHANCE OF INCREASED TAXES IF HILLARY CLINTON IS ELECTED

CHANCE OF INCREASED TAXES IF HILLARY CLINTON IS ELECTED

By DICK MORRIS & EILEEN MCGANN


Hillary Clinton would raise taxes if she is elected president. Sharply. As her candidacy gains momentum and she closes in on the Democratic nomination, it would be well to review the record and underscore the tax increases she would be likely to enact.

As always, Hillary speaks in code. So here’s the code book. She says that she will “…let President Bush's tax cuts for top earners expire." Most people assume that this pledge means that she will raise the top bracket (for those earning more than $200,000 a year) on income taxes from the 35 percent to which Bush cut it, to the 39.6 percent to which her husband raised it in 1993. But, in reality, it means a whole lot more.

It also likely means increasing the tax on capital gains from the current 15 percent to at least 20 percent and probably to the 30 percent level backed by most liberals. Some even believe she may eliminate capital gains taxation entirely and tax it at the same rate as ordinary income.

She certainly would repeal Bush's tax cut halving the tax rate on dividends and would raise it from its current 15 percent to 30 percent. She would also most likely end the planned elimination of the estate tax and probably reduce the size of estates subject to the tax.

But that is far from all.

She has specifically refused to rule out a big increase in Social Security (FICA) taxes. This levy is currently enforced on the first $97,000 of income. Hillary would probably follow the lead of Democratic liberals and either raise the limit — at least doubling it — or eliminating it altogether. A self-employed American making $250,000 a year currently pays $12,125 in FICA taxes (12.5 percent x $97,000). If the threshold were eliminated, his FICA tax would jump to $31,250!

Congressman Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.) and Senator Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), both close Hillary allies (it was Rangel who first suggested she run for Senate in New York), are paving the way by their proposed tax increases. The Schumer-Rangel bill was first, superficially, an attempt to repeal the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT.) Each year, inflation threatens to expand to cover more and more middle class families and replace it with a 35 percent tax on all "carried interest" earnings of hedge funds and other venture capital partnerships.

Robert Novak reports that Rangel's staff is "hard at work on an audacious plan that over the next decade would redistribute up to a trillion dollars in American income through the tax system." Rangel, himself, calls the new legislation "the mother of all tax reforms."

Hillary would likely use the repeal of the AMT (which nobody ever envisioned reaching these levels) as the lynchpin to claim that she is not increasing taxes but just redistributing them so as not to hurt the middle class. But the reality would be a vast increase in tax revenues and a major increase in the redistribution effect of the tax code.

Already the top 1 percent of all taxpayers earn 17 percent of the national income but pay 35 percent of all federal income taxes. And the top 10 percent make one-third of the national income but pay two-thirds of the income tax. The bottom half in income pays less than 3 percent of the income tax collections. Hillary will make this curve a lot steeper.

In her own way, Hillary’s views on tax policy are rooted in her religious convictions. As a believing Methodist, she demonstrated the link between her faith and her liberal politics when she said the following, when commenting on Republican proposals to make illegal entry into the U.S. a crime:

"It is hard to believe that a Republican leadership that is constantly talking about values and about faith would put forth such a mean-spirited piece of legislation."

"It is certainly not in keeping with my understanding of the Scripture because this bill would literally criminalize the Good Samaritan and probably even Jesus himself … We need to sound the alarm about what is being done in the Congress."

On a more secular level, she told a San Francisco audience in 2004: “We’re going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good.” And, speaking in New Hampshire on May 30, 2007, she said she would “raise taxes on upper-income Americans and eliminate breaks for corporations.”

She attacks the Bush administration for “going back to the era of the robber barons.” She says, “It’s time for a new beginning, for an end to government of the few by the few, and for the few. Time to reject the idea of an ‘on your own’ society and to replace it with a shared responsibility for shared prosperity. I prefer a ‘we’re all in it together society.’”

Behind her rhetoric about shared values and unity, lies the most far reaching tax increase proposals since the days of the New Deal. And, if she is elected, she will likely carry enough Democrats into the Senate (my current estimate is 58) to pass whatever she pleases.

Uncontrolled immigration (illegal) is a cancer

Crossbow Says:
October 10th, 2007 at 10:50 am
Uncontrolled immigration (illegal) is a cancer and it is spreading throughout the country, depressing wages and destroying neighborhoods. An example can be found in Santa Ana California. I can remember in the late ‘50’s and early ‘60’s Santa Ana California was a nice upper middle class community. According to the 2000 census figures it is now home to over 347,000 people 76 % of the population is Latino 180,000 were not born in this country; 156,000 of these people speak English poorly if at all. Most of the Latino population has less than a 9th grade education. The Latino population had an average annual income less than $10,000.00 per year. Once, a nice place to live much of Santa Ana is now plagued by gang violence. Drive-by shootings are common occurrences. Santa Ana has been turned into a barrio. It doesn’t seem like the people in Santa Ana have made any progress in assimilating into the American culture. Do you know why? It’s because they don’t want to assimilate. They want to live in their neighborhoods, speak their language and do things the way they did them in their native country, and they would like to spread that lifestyle to other communities until the place resembles the place that they came from and that includes the corruption and everything else that goes along with it. Other parts of the country are beginning to feel the burden of supporting these families whose incomes cannot possibly sustain the number of mothers and children needing to be fed, schooled and medicated. Now Americans, with the exception of those who have something to gain, complain that the federal government isn’t doing its job, and the federal government complains that they need help from local authorities, and so every agency passes the buck in an attempt to fool the electorate into believing that they really would do something if only they could. The taxpayer is the one left holding the bag. We are constantly fed the lie that things would be so much more expensive without the illegals. Without them our economy would collapse, blah, blah, blah. Things are really not any cheaper now when you consider the costs of supporting these people. Do you really think that businesses that hire these people are giving you deep discounts due to their low labor costs? What they are doing is pocketing the difference of what they would have to pay an American to do the same job, and you still pay the same price plus the cost of benefits that the business doesn’t pay.

Uncontrolled immigration is a cancer that feeds off of corrupt politicians and greedy business owners, expecting them to do anything to abate illegal immigration is an exercise in futility. The only thing that will change these people is to force the government to use existing laws to punish business owners who hire illegal aliens. How do you force the government to do this? You stay on their case. You write them every time you hear even a rumor about an amnesty proposal. Politicians are not interested in doing what is good for this country they are only interested in staying in office. They look at their mail and decide where the votes are and that’s where they go with their decisions. If you don’t participate in this process then you will get what you deserve.

Let people come here legally. Let them assimilate and then let some more come in. That’s the way it should be done. In the meantime if businesses say they can’t get help let them recruit from outside provided they pay the cost of benefits for their “guest workers” up to and including the cost of benefits for the workers family’s; food; clothing; medical care etc. etc. Let’s see how economical it would become to simply raise the wages offered to Americans to do the work. Until then: arrest employers breaking the law and put them in jail; arrest, punish and then deport those who use other’s social security numbers; vote out or impeach politicians who refuse to uphold their sworn duty. It’s not too late.

WHY THE DEMOCRATS ARE BACKING HILLARY

WHY THE DEMOCRATS ARE BACKING HILLARY

By DICK MORRIS

Published on TheHill.com on October 10, 2007.

The question looms over the Democratic primary: Why are rank-and-file Democrats so determined to nominate Hillary Clinton for president? With her lead now growing and her vote share registering in the mid-40s, she is increasingly likely to win the nomination. Why?

There is every reason why the Democrats should be more cautious. Desperate to win and bring eight years of Republican rule to a close, they realize that Hillary is a red flag to many voters and would be the most polarizing nominee they could select. While Obama or Edwards could likely reach out to independents and even Republicans, Hillary cannot. One either loves her or hates her. Her very candidacy elicits memories of all the Clinton scandals, from Whitewater and Marc Rich to the gifts to the Rose Law Firm, the Chinese campaign contributions, the New Square Hasidic pardons, the Lincoln Bedroom and Monica. Why do Democrats willingly take on that baggage when two relative virgins beckon as alternatives? And why do they want to nominate the first woman to run for president when there is an obvious danger that sexism could yet rear its ugly head? Why take these risks? Indeed, why do they seem to almost insist on taking them?

Democrats today are seeking a warrior, a gladiator, not a president when they cast their ballots in their primaries and caucuses. Angered by the so-called defeat of 2000 and scarred by the upset of 2004, there is an intensity to their desire to win that dwarfs all other emotions and considerations. They are not nominating a president. They are nominating a candidate. They are not interested in the credentials of a possible president in selecting their standard-bearer; they seek the characteristics of a fighter, a combatant, one who will win.

Hillary’s demonstrated ability to overcome adversity and triumph is the quality that most appeals to Democrats. Were she to star in a reality TV show, it would be “Survivor.” She has taken the worst the Republican machine can deal and overcome it. She has mastered the Karl Roves of our politics and earned the affection of her party’s voters for doing so.

Her battle scars are her accolades. Her ability to come back from Gennifer Flowers, healthcare reform, the loss of Congress, the grand jury subpoenas of Kenneth Starr, the denouement of the truth about Lewinsky, the ensuing impeachment, the carpetbagger issue as she journeyed to New York, the pardon and White House gifts scandals and her early support of the war in Iraq are the real items in her résumé that interest her party’s voters. They care less what kind of president she would be and more that she probably can become the president.

When she says she can “hit the ground running,” she pretends that she is addressing her vast public policy experience. But it is irrelevant that she was in the White House for eight years. So was the pastry chef. But what is relevant, and inescapable, is that she did lead the president’s crusade to overcome the efforts of the “vast right-wing conspiracy” to bring him down, and it is that experience which endears her to the base.

This affection for Hillary the Gladiator makes the appeals of Obama and Edwards largely irrelevant. They might be good men. They might be good presidents. But can they win? Are Edwards’s decency and civility barriers to being tough enough to beat the GOP machine? Is Obama’s desire to rise above partisanship the right attitude to take into a food fight with the GOP? Democrats have their doubts. But about Hillary’s zest for combat and her ruthlessness once in the ring, they have no concerns.

So Hillary does not polarize her party ideologically. Instead, she compares with her opponents in a time warp. She is the candidate of the present. Edwards is the candidate of the past, the man who, like Rocky’s brother-in-law Paulie, might have been a contender and would have been very good. Obama is the candidate of the future, the young man with promise and so much talent. But for today, for now — it’s Hillary.

Senate Amendments Increase Funding for Border Security

Senate Amendments Increase Funding for Border Security
On Wednesday, two significant border-related amendments were added to the Defense Appropriations bill currently before the Senate (H.R. 3222). The first of these was an amendment offered by Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) to continue funding for 6,000 National Guard troops stationed on the southern border (S.A. 3192). Since May, the Administration has drawn down half of the National Guardsmen originally stationed on the border as part of Operation Jump Start. The Administration plans to draw down the remainder at the beginning of 2008.

The Sessions Amendment, which was added to the bill on a voice vote, reverses the Administration's efforts to end Operation Jump Start by keeping troops funded on the border through fiscal year 2008. "The number of illegal aliens attempting to cross the border decreased by about 25 percent since National Guard troops were deployed," said Sen. Sessions. "This program is a proven success and it would be unthinkable to back away so soon from this critical part of our border enforcement strategy." (Reuters, Oct. 4, 2007)

Earlier in the day, the Senate adopted by a vote of 95-1 an amendment to the Defense Appropriations bill authored by Lindsey Graham (R-SC) that would provide $3 billion for security at the U.S.-Mexico border. Senator Johnny Isakson (R-GA) spoke in support of the amendment, saying, "There's no greater domestic issue in this country than the problems on our southern border with Mexico, and it is time that Congress makes a commitment to make border security a reality." The amendment sets aside money for selected purposes at the discretion of the Administration. The Administration may spend this $3 billion to hire additional border patrol agents, to install fencing and vehicle barriers along the border, for removal and detention of illegal aliens, and to reimburse states and localities utilizing a 287(g) program. The only money dedicated to a specific enforcement area is $60,000,000 designated for employment eligibility verification programs.

During the debate on the amendment Senator Graham demonstrated that he had no intent of giving up on "comprehensive immigration reform." Indicating that the enforcement package was aimed at laying the predicate for further legislative action, he said, "People who want border security first, this is a recognition that we've listened to you, we understand what you're saying, and we're putting money aside to make sure we secure our border." (Houston Chronicle, Oct. 4, 2007; The State, Oct. 4, 2007)

Lawmakers Working Under the Radar to Increase H-2B Visas

Lawmakers Working Under the Radar to Increase H-2B Visas
Reports are coming from the Hill that certain lawmakers are quietly working to increase the number of unskilled workers allowed into the U.S. by surreptitiously raising the H-2B visa cap. The leading proponents of such a move are Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) and Congressman Bart Stupak (D-MI), who have introduced the "Save Our Small and Seasonal Business Act of 2007" (S.988/H.R.1843) and are going from Member to Member to gain support. This legislation would increase the number of unskilled foreign workers in the U.S. by exempting H-2B workers who have been in the U.S. "during any 1 of the preceding 3 years" from the 66,000 cap when they reenter the U.S.

The H-2B program is a temporary non-immigrant worker program through which U.S. businesses import tens of thousands of unskilled foreign laborers each year to perform non-agricultural work. Last year, for example, over 134,000 non-immigrants were brought into the U.S. as H-2B workers, nearly one-third of whom were employed as landscapers and at least one-tenth of whom worked in the resort industry. (U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Foreign Labor Certification, Performance Report: March 28, 2005-September 30, 2006, September 17, 2007). The maximum duration of an H-2B visa is one year.

Under long-standing law, the number of H-2B visas issued in a year is capped at 66,000. Each fiscal year, half of these visas become available in October and the other half becomes available beginning in April. Often, these H-2B visas are all apportioned before they are even released. In this year, for example, applications for the visas coming available in April were already over 33,000 in March. (Denver Post, October 4, 2007).

However, instead of putting pressure on employers to increase wages or seek out American workers to make up any labor shortfalls, Congress increased H-2B visas in both 2005 and 2006. This was the result of Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) successfully offering amendments that provided a temporary back-door way to avoid the H-2B cap. The Mikulski language allowed an H-2B worker who had received his or her visa in any of the previous three years to return without being counted toward the cap. Thus, a business could get around the cap entirely by rehiring previous H-2B workers. According to the Department of Homeland Security, in fiscal year 2006, the total number of admissions of returning workers into the U.S. was 36,792. Department of Homeland Security, USCIS, 2006 Statistical Yearbook, Table 26: Nonimmigrant Admissions (I-94 Only) By Class Of Admission: Fiscal Years 1998 To 2006, 2007).

Through the Save Our Small and Seasonal Business Act of 2007, Congress is once again entertaining pleas from business to renew the returning worker exception. And because simply renewing the returning worker exemption would not be enough to appease business interests, the legislation offered by Senator Mikulski and Congressman Stupak this year has no sunset. The legislation would immediately permit up to 264,000 people to enter the country under the H-2B program—66,000 per year for the three previous years and 66,000 more for fiscal year 2008. This number could then grow at a rate of 66,000 workers per year and by 2017, the potential number of H-2B workers allowed into the country could reach 858,000.

ICE Sweep Nets over 1300 Illegal Aliens

ICE Sweep Nets over 1300 Illegal Aliens in Southern California
On Wednesday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials announced one of the country's largest immigration sweeps on record, netting over 1300 illegal aliens across 5 counties in Southern California. (San Diego Union Tribute, October 4). The operation, taken in concert with local sheriffs, focused on aliens who had been processed at southern California jails and were discovered to be deportable.

Of those arrested in the sweep, about 530 were apprehended at their homes and workplaces, while 800 others were removed immediately after the completion of their jail terms. Nearly 1100 of those arrested came from Mexico, but the remainder originated from over 30 countries, including Armenia, India and Ireland. While the vast majority of the aliens were in the country illegally, several of those arrested were lawful residents whose felonies made them deportable. More than 600 of those arrested had been deported by Wednesday. (AFP, October 4; Deutsche Press-Agentur, October 3).

Jim Hayes, the Los Angeles field director for ICE, indicated that the sweep reflects the agency's newfound aggressive stance towards enforcement of immigration laws. "Where the laws may not have been enforced in the past," he said, "that has changed." Nonetheless, there remain nearly 597,000 immigration fugitives in the U.S. While this figure is down 35,000 from last year, it is evidence that ICE has only scratched the surface when it comes to enforcing our country's immigration laws.

2007 Arizona governor desk

Thursday, October 4, 2007 Arizona governor desk

Dear Friends,

Last week, I had the opportunity at the annual Border Governors Conference to come together with leaders from both the U.S. and Mexico to make important progress on issues where Arizonans demand results. During the conference, I forged new agreements on the border with fellow governors and spoke with Mexican President Felipe Calderon and Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff about issues critical to Arizona especially border security and human and drug smuggling.

Our federal government seems stuck in dealing with problems at the border, leaving the people of border states like Arizona waiting for solutions. Amid this gridlock, it’s important that we as states make progress where we can, and keep pressure on the federal government to act where it must.

For one example, border states in the U.S. and Mexico are now on the same page in combating methamphetamines. Our porous border with Mexico is fueling meth in Arizona – the drug’s precursor chemicals are now imported to the U.S., brought to Mexico, made into meth, and smuggled back. At the conference, border states committed to sharing information to combat smugglers. We pressured the federal government to do the same and help Mexican authorities crack down on meth manufacturing.

While border states in general are taking the lead on border issues, Arizona in particular is standing out as a trailblazer on border security. For border security to be most effective, we need innovative and aggressive ideas to be adopted all across the border, and not just on one stretch – and now, other states are following our lead.
To attack human and drug smuggling, Arizona pioneered the use of damming warrants. The phenomenon of human and drug smuggling is driven by criminal syndicates, and with this tool, we are drying up their financial backbone by targeting their wire transfers. Other states are looking into using this tool as well.
Arizona is developing enhanced drivers’ licenses to reduce fraud and assist employers in verifying whether their employees are legal to work. Other states will be observing our lead on these 3-in-1 IDs.
Even if Washington is putting off border problems, border states are dedicated to taking action wherever we can, and to getting the federal government to keep its eye on the ball.

And as always, if you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact my office at 1-800-253-0883 and ask to speak to Constituent Services.

Yours very truly, Janet Napolitano Governor

Senator Craig to remain in the Senate

Senator Craig to remain in the Senate

how much will this cost the Republican Party ?



WASHINGTON, Oct. 4 — Senator Larry E. Craig of Idaho, defying the wishes of many in his own Republican Party, said today that he would remain in the Senate through next year despite a court ruling against him in Minnesota, where he sought to rescind his guilty plea stemming from an undercover sex sting

$300-a-night prostitutes for Rep Cunningham

$300-a-night prostitutes for California's Rep Cunningham

In 2003, Wilkes got a $16.5 million contract through Cunningham, prosecutors say. In the same year, he purchased Super Bowl tickets and a vacation in Hawaii for Cunningham where he provided the congressman with $300-a-night prostitutes for two nights, prosecutors allege.

In 2004, Wilkes, using Michael and the firm owned by Kontogiannis, gave Cunningham $525,000 to pay off part of a mortgage on the congressman's Rancho Santa Fe estate, the prosecution alleges.

'Never bribed'

Among the potential witnesses are former Cunningham staffers, including three men who served at different times as his chief of staff. Kontogiannis, who faces up to 10 years when he is sentenced in November, also may be called to testify.

Wade, of the former Washington defense firm MZM, who provided Cunningham with a cabin cruiser named the Duke-Stir to live on at a Washington marina, also may appear.

Wade has been cooperating with authorities, prosecutors say, since pleading guilty last year to giving Cunningham more than $1 million in bribes. He faces up to 11 years in prison.

Michael and his attorneys have said little other than to declare his innocence. Efforts to reach them Friday were unsuccessful.

Tales of hookers in Hawaii, Cunningham corruption trial

Cunningham corruption trial set to begin

By: MARK WALKER - Staff Writer

SAN DIEGO ---- Tales of hookers in Hawaii, lavish Capitol Hill dinner parties, private jet junkets and free-flowing cash are expected to be heard when a trial for two men tied to the tawdry corruption of former U.S. Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham begins in San Diego on Tuesday.

Facing multiple counts of money laundering and bribery are former Poway defense contractor Brent Wilkes and New York financier John T. Michael. Each man has declared he is innocent of any wrongdoing.

A 28-page trial memorandum filed by federal prosecutors this week suggests that the government has a wealth of evidence to the contrary. And some of their most damaging material may come directly from Cunningham, who is listed as one of more than 40 potential prosecution witnesses.


The government contends that over an eight-year period starting in 1998, Wilkes obtained more than $80 million in defense contracts for his now-defunct firm, ADCS Inc., in exchange for more than $700,000 in cash and material bribes to Cunningham.

Michael is accused of laundering some of the money through his mortgage company, accepting several thousand dollars in exchange for his services.

Michael's uncle, Thomas Kontogiannis of New York, played a key role in those transactions, the government contends, describing both as "professional money launderers." Kontogiannis has pleaded guilty to bribing Cunningham and is awaiting sentencing.

'Chance to learn'

The trial is expected to last at least three weeks and may expose the inner workings of congressional appropriations, particularly "earmarks" ---- legislative moves that lawmakers use to insert money for pet projects into spending bills.

"Beyond the good, bad and ugly of how Brent Wilkes bribed Duke Cunningham is a chance to learn about the system and why Mr. Wilkes decided the only way he could get ahead in Washington was to bribe a prominent appropriator," said Keith Ashdown of a Washington watchdog group called Taxpayers for Common Sense.

Cunningham, a former North County Republican congressman, pleaded guilty in late 2005 to tax evasion and receiving more than $2.4 million in bribes.

His attorney, K. Lee Blalack, would not say Friday if Cunningham will take the witness stand in the courtroom of U.S. District Court Judge Larry Burns, the same judge who sentenced him to more than eight years in prison.

"That's up to the attorneys trying the case," Blalack said during a telephone interview.

That Cunningham has been transferred from an Arizona prison to the Metropolitan Correctional Center near San Diego's Front Street federal courthouse suggests he will appear.

'Hired gun'

Prosecutors contend in documents filed earlier this week that much of the graft that wound up in Cunningham's pockets came directly from Wilkes with Michael's help. Court documents name them as two of four major co-conspirators in the largest congressional corruption case ever uncovered.

Prosecutors allege Wilkes' bribes included trips, arranging prostitutes for Cunningham during a trip to Hawaii, Babylonian meals with fine wines costing thousands of dollars, a speed boat and cash.

DHS Lawsuit Against Illinois Sends Clear Message to Local Governments

DHS Lawsuit Against Illinois Sends Clear Message to Local Governments to Quit Interfering in Immigration Enforcement
FAIR Applauds Administration for Decisive Step to Stop Employment of Illegal Aliens
Washington DC - The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) today applauded the decision by the Department of Homeland Security for filing suit against the State of Illinois and its attempt to thwart enforcement of federal immigration laws. A state law, approved by the legislature and signed by Gov. Rod Blagojevich, would bar employers in Illinois from using a federal database to verify the work eligibility of prospective employees. In recent years, Illinois has repeatedly instituted policies aimed at shielding illegal aliens.

Responding to overwhelming public sentiment in favor of enforcement of immigration laws, especially in the workplace, the Bush Administration has begun notifying employers when workers' Social Security numbers do not match information in the government's database. In an effort to assist employers who wish to comply with laws against hiring illegal aliens, the federal government has been encouraging them to utilize a database that allows them to verify Social Security numbers.

"Easy access to jobs in this country has long been the magnet that has drawn millions of illegal aliens here. As much, or perhaps even more, than securing the borders, preventing illegal aliens from finding jobs is the key to reversing mass illegal immigration," noted Dan Stein, president of FAIR. "In taking steps to bar employers from using the Social Security Administration's database to verify work eligibility until that database is virtually error free, is nothing more than a blatant attempt by state officials to further undermine immigration law enforcement. Perfection does not exist in this world, and we cannot expect it to be the standard for employment verification."

The policy that Illinois is attempting to thwart includes generous provisions to allow individuals to correct errors in the database that might be found during the verification process. "The state's effort is not about preventing errors, it is a politically motivated effort to prevent employers from identifying illegal aliens and complying with federal law," charged Stein. "The suit by DHS to block implementation of state's transparent effort to impede immigration enforcement in the workplace is the appropriate response to Illinois officials and a signal to other local governments that the federal government is serious about cracking down on businesses that hire illegal aliens."

The federal suit also addresses serious constitutional issues by asserting the federal government's right to enforce immigration laws everywhere in the country, even in jurisdictions that have made themselves de facto or formal sanctuaries for illegal aliens. "No state or local government can be permitted to stand in the way of the federal government's unassailable right to carry out immigration enforcement. Federal law allows local governments to assist in immigration enforcement, but there is no opt-out provision that allows them to prevent immigration laws from being enforced. Employers in Illinois must be permitted to comply with the same laws as employers in the other 49 states," concluded Stein.

The Federal Government Sues Illinois to use E-Verify

The Federal Government Sues Illinois to Allow Employers to Use E-Verify
Last Monday, the federal government sued the State of Illinois to strike down a state law making it illegal for employers to use the federal government's E-Verify program. "E-Verify" is the new name for "Basic Pilot," currently a volunteer program that permits employers to verify the legal status of job applicants electronically. According to DHS, by August of this year, the program had been used by over 22,000 employers, who had sent nearly 3 million queries for verification of employment eligibility to the agency. Nearly 93 percent of these queries were answered within one day. The remainders received tentative non-confirmations. Under E-Verify a worker can challenge a non-confirmation, which takes about a week or sometimes longer for DHS to resolve. The legislation passed by Illinois makes it illegal for businesses in the state to use E-Verify until 99 percent of E-Verify results can be returned within 3 days of a request.

The complaint filed by Homeland Security asserts that the Illinois statute is in clear violation the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution (Article IV, Section 2), which declares that federal law trumps any contrary state or local law. As stated by Secretary Chertoff, "What we can't do when we pass a federal law is have the states decide they want to modify that law." Crystal Williams, Deputy Director for Programs at the American Immigration Lawyers Association, called the lawsuit filed by DHS selective enforcement, noting that a number of states and localities have enacted laws directed at stopping illegal immigration, describing them as "clearly violations of the supremacy clause." According to Chertoff, the federal government has finally decided to go on the offensive. Noting that he understood the message of the defeat of the Bush-Kennedy Amnesty Bill, Chertoff remarked, "We will vigorously contest any effort to impede our enforcement efforts." (New York Times, September 25, 2007; Chicago Tribune, September 25 2007)

Attempt to Pass DREAM Act Stalls after Public Outcry

Attempt to Pass DREAM Act Stalls after Public Outcry
The efforts of Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) and other amnesty proponents to amend the DREAM Act onto the Defense Authorization Bill (H.R. 1585) were scuttled last week after public outcry threatened to derail the Defense Bill entirely. Over the past two weeks tens of thousands of phone calls, emails and faxes in opposition to the DREAM Act barraged Senate offices, keeping Senator Durbin from finding the 60 votes he needed to proceed with the debate on his amendment. Although the Senator circulated various versions of the amendment and spent days trying to strike a deal behind closed doors, in the end he could not overcome public opinion. Wednesday evening, Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) announced that the DREAM Act would not be brought to the floor as an amendment to the Defense Authorization Bill.

The DREAM Act would have granted amnesty to those who had entered the country before they were 16 and had lived here 5 years if they were in the military or school and under the age of 30. However, the age limit did not affect the ability of illegal aliens to receive retroactive benefits if they already met the other criteria of the amnesty program. In addition, illegal aliens who were granted legal status under the program would have been eligible to receive federal financial aid for college tuition and been able to claim residency for purposes of in-state tuition.

Although the DREAM Act stalled as an amendment to the Defense Authorization bill, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) promised to make every effort to return the legislation to the floor before the Thanksgiving recess. Reid declared: "We will move to proceed to this matter before we leave here. I'm going to do my utmost to do it by November 16."

HILLARY AND BILL'S TRUE COLORS UNFOLD ON FOX NEWS

HILLARY AND BILL'S TRUE COLORS UNFOLD ON FOX NEWS

By DICK MORRIS & EILEEN MCGANN

Published on FoxNews.com on September 27, 2007.

Chris Wallace brings out the real Bill and Hillary each time he interviews one of them.

For those who have ever visited Clintonland, it’s sometimes hard to recognize the slickly-scripted, post-White House media personalities of the Clintons: the affable, smiling Hillary seen on the campaign trial or the laid back, take-it-as-it-comes Bill who periodically surfaces for softball interviews.

But every once in a while, there’s a rare moment of clarity. That happened last year when Wallace interviewed the former president. At the end of the interview, Bill lost it. Suddenly the veneer was off, exposing the enraged, snarling, lunging Bill accusing Wallace of “do[ing] his nice little right wing hit job” when he forced Clinton to address his inability to capture or kill bin Laden.

Not a pretty sight.

And Wallace did it again in his recent interview of Hillary. Asked about the extreme partisan politics espoused by her and her husband, the real Hillary challenged Wallace. “Well, Chris, if you'd walked even a day in our shoes over the last 15 years I'm sure you'd understand."

Hillary preceded her passing moment of reality by a loud, inappropriate and mirthless laugh – a scary sound that was somewhere between a cackle and a screech. She was quick to follow it with a scripted recitation about how she wants to rise above partisanship. (Of course) But, in between, we saw a fleeting glimpse of the pervasive sense of victimization and self-righteousness that even now underscores the vicious partisanship with which both Clintons play the game of politics.

Amazingly, they seem to genuinely believe that they are still the targets of a “vast right-wing conspiracy” and that they are alone and under attack despite their manifest virtue and singular desire to do good.

You don’t see this authenticity very often. Hillary’s handlers have taken great pains to teach her the art of concealment, hiding her raw partisanship behind a smile and, when necessary, even a forced laugh. A laugh that’s often too long and too loud.

And so, at the beginning and the end of the Wallace interview, Hillary sounded just like a laughing hyena. Watch the video on FOX News or YouTube. You won’t laugh.

It’s part of the Hillary defense. Just as Hillary’s answers are scripted, so is her "spontaneous" laughter. This is truly learned behavior — laughing — or pretending to laugh at will. Over the past 15 years, she’s perfected the art of responding to people, questions and networks that she doesn’t like. In the past, she would sneer and answer sarcastically, as in, “Maybe I should have stayed home and baked cookies.” But those days are over. Now she smiles constantly and dissolves into a flood of loud giggles. It’s been a big part of her media training.

The mainstream media hasn’t had much to say about the laughing candidate. But can you imagine if Rudy Giuliani responded to a network interviewer by laughing loudly and hysterically for five seconds? No doubt The New York Times would seriously wonder about his state of mind. But they don’t find it odd with Hillary.

It’ll likely be a long time before we see the real Hillary again. So next time you hear her special laugh, think about what it really means.
