End of the Black Rhino
The African western black rhino was officially declared extinct last month by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Corporate news outlets routinely attributed this tragedy to the thoughtless behavior of "man," as if humans in general rampaged through Africa, recklessly stamping out rhinos. In fact, however, the deplorable demise of the black rhino is the fault not of "man" in general, but of particular men from particular cultures. In parts of the Third World, particularly Vietnam and China, many in the economically advanced but culturally primitive middle classes believe the black rhino horn holds magical medicinal powers to cure a variety of ailments, including cancer. Western peoples know that the horn holds no medicinal value and sought strenuously in recent decades to protect the rhino by international agreements and import bans on trade in rhino horns. But Asian consumers bid the price of horns so high -- at times as much as $45,000 a pound -- that poachers were able to achieve a level of sophistication sufficient to overcome often incompetent and lackadaisical African and other Third World security measures and eliminate the last of the doomed rhino.

Ohio Sheriff Wants Action on Illegals
No state is exempt from the problems caused by illegal aliens and the active support they receive from U.S. political elites. Even in Ohio, far from international borders, Butler County Sheriff Richard K. Jones is seeking help from Republican Gov. John Kasich to curb the illegal influx. In a letter, Jones urged Kasich to support pending state legislation to empower police to question and detain illegals. He said illegals "are working jobs that Ohioans would be happy to have... Some are receiving workers' compensation benefits and public assistance for food, shelter and medical care... I would like to see legislation ... that will provide stiffer penalties on employers who hire illegal immigrants [and] ... provide stiffer penalties on the illegal immigrants who come to Ohio and violate our laws." So far, no word from Kasich.

Our 'Secure' Border
Shootings have become distressingly common along America's southwest border, which Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano repeatedly and unconvincingly calls "secure." Last month near the U.S. - Mexican border, several area U.S. police SWAT teams responded to a ranch near Escobares, Texas, where a shoot-out left at least one Mexican national, a suspected drug cartel gunman, severely wounded. A law enforcement official told local reporters that a group of as many as 15 gunmen from Mexico had crossed the Rio Grande. Border Patrol spokeswoman Rosalinda Huey said agents had been tracking a suspected drug shipment near La Rosita, but it had been pushed back to Mexico. It was not immediately known whether the wounded gunman was shot by rival gangsters or by Mexican authorities who retreated back to Mexico.

Paul Snubs Le Pen
Rep. Ron Paul's presidential campaign has become erratic. In a disappointing flub, Paul first agreed to meet with French National Front presidential contender Marine Le Pen on her recent visit to Capitol Hill, but then he (or his squeamish aides) inexplicably cancelled. Like Paul, Le Pen backs the gold standard and wanted to discuss the issue with him. Here was an opportunity for the two anti-establishment candidates to reinforce each other's credibility, and for Paul to display his trademark independence from convention. After all, Le Pen, an immigration restrictionist and French nationalist whose popularity among voters causes uncontrollable fits of outrage in newsrooms, boardrooms and backrooms of every leftwing and conservative mainstream politician in France, didn't ask to meet with Herman Cain or Mitt Romney. She wanted Paul. And Paul could have used the publicity to show that he is taken seriously abroad. Paul eventually met with her, but only reluctantly after she boldly showed up at his office anyway. Paul and his limp-wristed staff were clearly unnerved, and shied away from any publicity about the visit. We wonder: is that the sort of decisiveness Paul would display as president?

Washington vs. The Rest

While most middle class Americans are suffering with declining incomes, the nation's political class is prospering. Washington, D.C. is now the nation's wealthiest metropolitan area, exceeding even the prosperity associated with high-tech Silicon Valley, according to government data. While the national median income in 2010 was $50,046, the typical Washington metro area household was taking in $84,523. One reason is federal workers. Their average compensation last year including healthcare and other benefits totaled $126,369, an increase from $122,697 in 2009 at a time when the country fell into deep recession. Washington also has the most lawyers per capita in the U.S., with one for every 12 city resident. In New York state, there is one lawyer for every 123 residents, and in California, one for every 243 residents. Many of the area lawyers are government attorneys, lobbyists, or Capitol Hill staff. The D.C. area is also home to many government contractors. "There's a gap that's isolating Washington from the reality of the rest of the country," said one analyst.

News You Didn't Hear on TV
You didn't hear it on any news programs on NBC, ABC, CBS, or CNN, but at least 35 members of Congress have called for the immediate resignation of left-wing Attorney General Eric Holder for his apparent perjury in testimony before Congress. Holder told Congress he knew nothing about the "Fast and Furious" gun running program that deliberately allowed some 2,000 illegal weapons to be bought in the U.S. and transported to Mexico, many of them to violent drug cartels. Several of the weapons have been linked to crimes in the U.S. and Mexico, including the murder of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. Documents uncoverd by congressonal investigators show Holder was briefed on several occasions about the plan to sell guns illegally, but he did nothing to stop the program despite his assertion that he would never have approved of it.

Democrats More Left-wing, Less White
The Democrat Party is less white and more left-wing than it was in 2008, according to a Gallup Poll in October. The pollsters found that a full 37 percent of self-identified Democrats describe themselves as "liberal," an increase over 35 percent three years ago. At the same time, the percentage of Democrats who called themselves white declined from 66 percent to 63 percent. The number of Democrats calling themselves "non-white" went up from 33 percent to 36 percent.

Left-wing Historian Keeps Quiet
Revelations about what President John F. Kennedy's widow thought about Martin Luther King, Jr. were kept secret by left-wing historian and JFK admirer Arthur M. Schlesinger for nearly 50 years, even when a bill to create a federal holiday for the radical black protest leader was pending in Congress. In a series of taped interviews with Schlesinger shortly after the assassination of her husband, former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy said that King was "tricky" and "a phony." She had been told by JFK about the FBI tapes of King's adulterous orgies with multiple women in hotel rooms. She was irked that King had mocked JFK's funneral and Cardinal Richard Cushing, who celebrated mass at the funderal. Of King, she said, "he made fun of Cardinal Cushing and said that he was drunk at it... I just can't see a picture of Martin Luther King without thinking, you know, that man's terrible." She died in 1994, and Schlesinger died in 2007 without ever having publicly revealed the content of the interviews, even though King's character was the subject of congressonal debate when a holiday in his name was created.

Wear the Flag, Lose Your Job
The Casa Monica Hotel in St. Augustine, Florida, is not especially fond of employees who love their country -- at least not if the country is the U.S.A. In October, the hotel fired employee Sean May, 26, for wearing an American flag lapel pin. A spokesman for the hotel told Fox News, "Casa Monica has always had personal appearance guidelines, and they are currently being enforced."

Fond of Cop Killers
The "Occupy Atlanta" left-wingers who were camping out on Woodruff Park, a six-acre greenspace in the southern metropolis, decided to rename the park after one of their heroes, cop killer Troy Davis. He was executed by the state of Georgia in September for the brutal shooting death of Savannah Police Officer Mark Allen MacPhail. The "occupiers" erected a sign, "Troy Davis Park," and handed out tee shirts emblazed with the words, "I am Troy Davis." Woodruff Park was named for a Georgia philanthropist who gave millions for various art and civic projects, and who donated the land for the park.

November

America, Home of the Silly
America has become a silly country -- or at least one in which the morality of its elites can no longer be taken seriously. Consider the case of singer Hank Williams Jr., formerly of the cable sports network, ESPN. Appearing on the Fox News show, "Fox & Friends," Williams off-handedly remarked that he thought left-wing Democrat President Obama playing golf with Republican House Speaker John Boehner was like "Hitler playing golf with Netanyahu," referring to the Israeli prime minister. Pretending to be morally outraged by mentioning Hitler, an apparent violation of someone's sensitivities (Obama's? Israel's? Boehner's?) ESPN publicly rebuked Williams, and as punishment dropped the opening theme song for the network's "Monday Night Football" show that Williams wrote. America's corporate news media, including Reuters News Service and Associated Press, solemnly but falsely trumpeted the story nationwide that Williams "compared President Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler." The assertion is untrue. He compared Obama's and Boehner's golf outing to a meeting of Hitler and Netanyahu. He compared an event, not people. His point was that the comity between two bitter opponents seemed fake. Who can say which of the two -- Obama or Boehner -- was Hitler, and which was Netanyahu? Whichever it was doesn't really matter. The comparison was obviously an extreme one, but hardly worth all the fuss -- and definitely not worth the news media's moral Tartuffery and snooty lies about it.

Does the GOP Know How to Win?
The Republicans have no idea what they are in for when the 2012 election comes around. Conservative commentators are already overconfident, crowing that the economic doldrums and President Barack Obama's bad policy choices, which are driving down his approval ratings, almost ensure a Republican victory in November 2012. But what Republicans and their conservative cheerleaders don't realize is that they are fighting an especially determined foe, namely the entire American left-wing movement, which includes every "social justice" activist and organization from the Communist Party (which has already endorsed Obama's reelection) to the Democratic National Committee. That movement, which is regarded benignly by the nation's corporate news media, is a determined opponent extemely skilled in influencing public opinion -- something that conservatives with their weak rhetorical skills fail consistently to do. The American left doesn't intend to roll over and die just because of a few negative public opinion polls. That's what the anti-Wall Street demonstrations spreading across the country are all about. It is a massive, coordinated campaign to lift the blame for America's economic woes off of Obama's shoulders and lay it squarely on the backs of American business, to which the left's massive propaganda machine will link the entire Republican Party and its 2012 candidates. Part of that anti-Wall Street strategy is to regain the support of the white working class that is normally conservative in outlook, but which is turned off by the Republicans' suicidal support for job-killing free trade policies and winking at the excesses of transnational corporations. If they want to win, Republicans need to recalibrate their electoral strategy to counter the left's gameplan and boost support from that neglected white working class constituency with an economic message tailored to its needs, not the needs of transnational corporations.

More Help From U.S. for Illegals
Secretary of Labor Hilda Soltis is working hard to protect illegal aliens who violate federal law when they steal U.S. jobs. She announced agreements with Central American countries that she said will help protect illegal alien workers in the U.S. by educating them about their legal rights and how they can challenge efforts to deport them. Under an amnesty plan announced earlier by President Barack Obama, illegal aliens who violate federal labor law by taking a job in the U.S. will no longer face deportation unless they commit what the Feds consider a "serious" felony.

Nobel Winner Resigns Over Global Warming
Dr. Ivar Giaever, winner of the 1973 Nobel Prize in physics, resigned from the American Physical Society over disgust with the group's official position on global warming. APS's stated policy is that global warming is occuring as a result of human action, and claims "the evidence is incontrovertible." But Dr. Giaever believes the matter has not been scientifically settled, and that the word "incontrovertible" is unjustified. "The claim ... that the temperature has changed from 288.0 to 288.8 degrees Kelvin in about 150 years ... means to me that the temperature has been amazingly stable," he said.

Singer Says Bush Admitted Iraq War 'Mistake'

Singer Tony Bennet caused a minor stir in September when he claimed that President George W. Bush told him the invasion of Iraq was a mistake. Bennet, who opposes America's war on Iraq, recalled an evening in 2005 when he was honored at the Kennedy Center. Meeting President Bush there, Bennet said he told him his opinion of the Iraq war, ABC News reported. According to Bennet, Bush said it was a mistake. Said Bennet: "He told me personally that night that, he said, 'I think I made a mistake.'"

Transformation of U.S. Continues
Mass immigration continues its rapid change of the U.S. Populations of 22 of the nation's 100 largest cities are now a majority non-white, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Just ten years ago, whites were a majority in nearly every large city. The Brookings Institute's "State of Metropolitan American" analysis of Census data found that "non-whites and Hispanics accounted for 98 percent of the population growth in large metro areas from 2000 to 2010. Forty-two of the 100 largest metro areas lost white populations."

Can You Trust the Immigrant Bank Teller?
In New York City last month, more than 100 persons were indicted in an indentity theft ring that bilked consumers out of more than $13 million. The accused thieves were bank tellers, retail store employees, and restaurant workers who used their positions to skim Social Security numbers, credit card numbers, and other private identifying information to commit fraud. Police said the gang had contacts in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, indicating the ring was composed ly of immigrants.

Populist Millionaire
Left-wing filmmaker Michael Moore and populist poseur says millionaires are "kelptomaniacs," and "sociopathic." That's what he told Keith Olbermann, host of MSNBC's "Countdown" during an interview. Moore failed to mention that he himself is a multi-millionaire. He has filed suit seeking $2.7 million more from Hollywood's Weinstein Brothers for what he claims are movie profits owed to him for his propaganda film, Fahrenheit 9/11. Moore reportedly earned $19.8 million from the movie.

The Welfare State Revealed
Nearly half of the U.S. lives in households receiving government benefits from the other half of the population, according to Census data repored by the Wall Street Journal. About 34 percent of the population lives in households that receive benefits such as food stamps, subsidized housing, cash welfare or Medicaid (health care for the poor). Another 14 percent receive Medicare and/or Social Security benefits. At the same time, 46.4 percent of households pay no federal income tax, up from 39.9 percent in 2007.

Ten Years
After Ten years after the 9/11 attacks launched by foreign terrorists welcomed to the U.S., America's borders remain perilously porous. In McAllen, Texas, last month, Border Patrol agents discoverd a large cache of six assault rifles, one grenade launcher, one rocket launcher, and three packages of what appeared to be the plastic explosive known as C-4. The bag was hidden in the brush along the Rio Gande River near the community of Fronton. There were no arrests in connection with the discovery.

White Males Need Not Apply
White males hoping for appointment to the federal judiciary will have to wait until after President Obama leaves office. Nearly 3 of every 4 people Obama put on the federal bench have been women or minorities. At more than 70 percent, that exceeds the percentages of non-whites and women appointed by President Bill Clinton (48 percent) and President George W. Bush (33 percent), according to Sheldon Goldman, author of "Picking Federal Judges."

Feds Take Aim at Alabama Law
In response to a lawsuit from the Obama regime, U.S. District Judge Sharon L. Blackburn, appointed by the elder President George Bush, temporarily blocked enforcement of Alabama's new law against illegal immigration. The law makes it a state crime to knowingly hire an illegal alien or to aid the illegal in taking a job, a provision aimed at smugglers. Republican Gov. Robert Bentley said the state will defend the law vigorously in court. "We must remember that today's ruling is simply the first round in what promises to be a long judicial fight," said Alabama House Majority Leader Micky Hammon. 

Household Income Plunges, Poverty Rises
The median household income fell 2.3 percent in 2010 to the lowest level since 1999, after adjusting for inflation, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. That equals a total decline of 6.8 percent since the recession began in December of 2007. At the same time, the number of people living in poverty in the U.S. reached a new record high of 46.2 million, up from 43.6 million in 2009. A family of four is considered in poverty if income is $22,314 or below. Contributing to the bad economic news is the U.S. policy of importing more than 1 million immigrants each year, many of them in their prime working ages 20 to 65 but with few skills and low education levels.

Stifling Aid to the Poor
As U.S. poverty increases, President Barack Obama has proposed increasing the taxes on donations made to the charities that aid the poor. As part of his American Jobs Act announced last month amidst considerable fanfare, Obama proposed limiting the tax deduction for donations to charities made by persons earning more than $250,000. The Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University calculates that giving to charities would decline by 2.1 percent as a result. High-income earners often give to charities in order to take advantage of the tax deduction. "Charities and the public need to understand that in the current economic environment, which is creating difficulty for some nonprofits and their constituents already, this public policy change is likely to have an additional negative effect," said Patrick M. Rooney, executive director of the philanthropy center.

Omaha Pushes Multiculturalist Reeducation Groups for Teachers
In Nebraska, the Omaha Public Schools used more than $130,000 in federal "economic stimulus" money from the Obama regime to buy each teacher, administrator and staff member, including custodial workers, a manual on how to adopt multiculturalist ideology and practices. The book, "The Cultural Proficiency Journey: Moving Beyond Ethical Barriers Toward Profound Social Change" says teachers must acknowledge historic oppression, racism, sexism, homophobia, and "ableism" in the schools. By "abelism," the authors mean discrimination against the handicapped. Employees are to read a couple of chapters periodically and report to a "study group" to discuss the book. For teachers, the book is required as part of their "professional development." The book says teachers must reject "color blind" teaching in which all children are treated the same. Instead, the identity of students of color should be recognized and "esteemed."

ACLU to Aid Drug Users
The American Civil Liberties Unions wants to make sure illegal drug users receive taxpayer-financed welfare. Last month the radical ACLU said it plans to sue Florida to stop the state's new law requiring welfare recipients to pass a drug test. Under the law, welfare recipients who fail a drug test are ineligbile for benefits for at least one year.

Imposing Statue From China
The giant statue of Martin Luther King that was unveiled in August sitting on his $120 million, four-acre memorial in Washington, D.C., was made in Communist China by 57 year-old communist sculptor Lei Yixin from Changsha in Hunan province. Mr. Lei is famous for his two statues of murderer Mao Tse-Tung which occupy places of honor in China. The King statue is 11 feet taller than the statues of presidents Lincoln and Jefferson in their respective memorials.

September

Yeah, Sure: The Reassurance of Government Officials
On April 19 this year Fox Business Network asked Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner if the U.S. could lose its AAA rating. Fox reported, "There is no chance that the U.S. will lose its top credit rating, Geithner said, forcefully disputing the notion that Standard and Poor's or other ratings services might downgrade U.S. bonds from their current AAA rating." Geithner told Fox, "No risk of that, no risk."

Spending Cuts?
Almost all of the so-called "spending cuts" adopted as part of a deal in Congress to raise the government's borrowing limit won't go into effect before 2014. The first phase of the cuts would reduce spending by $917 billion over 10 years, hardly a dent in the expected trillions in spending. Virtually unnoticed in the reporting about the deal by the nation's corporate press is the simple fact that any future Congress can vote to spend -- or not to spend -- as much money as it likes. No vote in Congress today can bind a Congress tomorrow. The deal looks more like smoke and mirrors than spending cuts.

The Continuing Recession
Unlike Congress, which promises to cut spending later, real people in the U.S. have been forced by a terribly performing economy to cut back on spending now. The Commerce Department reported that personal incomes are stagnant, and consumer spending dropped 0.2 percent in June. High gasoline prices and unemployment continue to squeeze family budgets as Americans cut back on spending for cars, appliances, furniture, and even electronics. Consumer spending accounts for 70 percent of the nation's economic activity. As consumer spending declines, retailers order fewer goods, which means producers need fewer workers, reinforcing the nation's high unemployment rate.

Incompetence at the Top
Does America's ruling class know what it is doing? Jay Carney, spokesman for President Barack Obama, said that government unemployment benefits create jobs. In early August, Laura Meckler of the Wall Street Journal asked him, "I understand why extending unemployment insurance provides relief to people who need it, but how does that create jobs?" Carney replied, "It is one of the most direct ways to infuse money into the economy, because people who are unemployed and obviously aren't running a paycheck, are going to spend the money that they get. They're not going to save it, they're going to spend it. And with unemployment insurance, that way, the money goes directly back into the economy, dollar for dollar, virtually." Fact Check: If unemployment insurance created jobs, the government should put everyone on unemployment insurance to cure the recession. There is no doubt that many of the unemployed need government assistance to survive; but the money they get does not create new jobs.

More Incompetence at the Top
The U.S. Postal Service last month proposed cutting its workforce by 20 percent and stripping employees of health insurance and retirement plans because it is going broke. In August the Postal Service said, "we will be insolvent next month due to significant declines in mail volume and retiree health benefit pre-funding costs imposed by Congress." In the last four years, the service lost $20 billion, despite postage rate increases, and announced it would close 3,700 post offices. It has also asked Congress to allow it to deliver mail only five days a week, ending Saturday deliveries. Despite having a monopoly on delivering 1st class mail, the government finds it hard to make a profit.

Can't Pass the Test? Abolish It
Because the government's schools can't figure out how to raise the academic achievement scores of minority students, the Feds are going to stop giving them tests. In politics, if you don't like the message, kill the messenger. Education Secretary Arne Duncan, who presided over the colossal failure of Chicago's public schools before being put in charge of all federal education programs, announced establishment of a "waiver system" that will let allow school systems in all 50 states avoid the student testing mandated by the increasingly disreputable No Child Left Behind Act that requires schools to improve the academic performance of their students. Schools whose students fail are subject to sanctions, including firing teachers. School administrators and the teacher unions, terror-stricken by the requirement to produce measurable results, have been lobbying for years to get this federal testing monkey off their backs, and now they've won. With waivers, schools will get some relief from proving their competence if they agree to embrace what the corporate press described as "other kinds of education reform," which we suspect will include stuff like increased multiculturalist sensitivity classes, etc. (There might be some opposition to the plan in Congress, however. Rep. John Kline, R-MN, expressed reservations that the waiver plan might undermine upcoming congressional efforts at education reform.)

Free Stuff
If you use a cell phone and pay your bill on time, you are providing free cell phone service for the poor. Thanks to federal law, all telecommunications companies are required to pay into the Univertsal Service Fund, which pays for free cell phones and up to 250 minutes of monthly use for the poor. Amy Storey, spokeswoman for CTIA, the international Wireless Association, said all U.S. wireless carriers charge consumers a fee to recover the cost of their contribution to the fund, which is determined quarterly by the Federal Communications Commission. No word yet on whether the FCC will require consumers to pay for free cable TV service.

Blind Police
Fox News.com reported last month that some police departments can't figure out whether the numerous "flash mob" attacks by black gangs on white bystanders are racially motivated. Attacks this summer on whites by mobs of dozens of black teens that have sent many victims to the hospital with serious injuries have occured in Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Chicago, Cleveland, Washington, D.C., Milwaukee, and other cities. Fox reported that "witness accounts suggest the attacks are race-based, but law enforcement officials say they have no evidence to prove it." Philadelphia Police Department First Deputy Commissioner Richard Ross, who is black, told Fox there was "no confession or anything else" to suggest the attacks were racially motivated. "You can't just simply look at the race of the offender and the race of the victim and say its ethnic intimidation," he said. "It may be, but we're not sure." Hmmm. If gangs of whites had attacked only lone black bystanders, would he have been able to figure out the racial nature of the attacks? The fact that the attackers are always black and the victims always white seems to have escaped his grasp. In a society where whites are always depicted as the oppressor, and non-whites always depicted as the victims, the befuddled deputy police commissioner apparently is no longer able to think clearly. Multiculturalist propaganda has turned the poor man's brain to mush. And he's in charge of protecting people and investigating crime. Good luck with that, Philadelphia.

Sanctuary Policy Leads to Policeman's Death
In Houston, Police Sergeant Joslyn M. Johnson is challenging the city's decision to become a sanctuary for illegal aliens. She has filed suit overturn the current sanctuary policy. Imposed by left-wing politicians and their big business supporters, the policy states that the police "shall not make inquiries as to the citizenship status of any person, not will officers detain or arrest persons solely on their belief that they are in this country illegally." The reason Sgt. Johnson is suing to overturn the policy is a compelling one. She is the widow of Officer Rodney J. Johnson who was killed by illegal alien Juan Leonardo Quintero-Perez in 2006. Before he murdered Johnson, Quintero-Perez had multiple encounters with the Houston Police Department -- including an arrest for drunk driving, driving with a suspended license, and failing to stop following an auto accident -- but he was not detained or even questioned by police for being in Houston illegally.

The Danger of Reliance on Imports Exposed
According to an official with the Department of Homeland Security, electronics sold in the U.S. by foreign producers are being preloaded with spyware, malware, and other software components that compromise privacy and security. In testimony before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, DHS Acting Deputy Undersecretary Greg Schaffer said foreign-made computer devices have been found with purposefully-embedded security risks, but he did not mention any specific examples. Schaffer said the threat is "one of the most complicated and difficult challenges that we face." One difficulty is trying to monitor the entire production chain, from parts suppliers to manufacturers and software installers. China is the suspected culprit.
