JFK EMERGENCY DOC DEAD AT 80

2009-12-09T09:24:00.000-08:00

By the time 2038 arrives, everyone connected to the Kennedy assassination will be long gone. Dead. Many of us will be too.

Recently, one of the most important witnesses died. Dr. M. O. Perry is the Parkland emergency room doctor who performed the tracheotomy over the bullet wound in JFK's neck, forever changing the appearance of the evidence.

Dr. Perry is no doubt famous for performing the procedure on Kennedy, but he's also famous for what he said to reporters after they asked him if he thought it was an entrance or exit wound.

2038--only 29 short years away. Or maybe you can hang on until 2017.

POLLS INDICATE SUSTAINED LEVEL OF ANGER TOWARDS GOVT

2009-12-09T08:26:00.000-08:00

Turns out those Tea Party people are angry...and they're coming for congress. Former Carter adviser Pat Caddell says he's never seen anything like this before--the anger and fear. I'm beginning to think this Tea Party movement isn't so fringe after all, as the MSM reports. Sounds more mainstream to me.

68 YEARS LATER--REMEMBERING THE ATTACK ON PEARL HARBOR--DEC 7, 1941

2009-12-07T00:05:00.000-08:00

PEARL HARBOR TRIBUTE: Remember that it's our responsibility to keep the memory alive and to pass this history on to the younger generations. Never Forget.

President Obama has signed a presidential proclamation designating Monday, Dec 7, 2009, NATIONAL PEARL HARBOR REMEMBRANCE DAY--flags to be flown at half-staff.

Below you will find videos, still photos and many Pearl Harbor links related to that horrible morning 68 years ago. Take your time browsing through this post and feel free to pass it on to others.

Before you continue, though, take a moment to think about how your day is going. Then think of how their day must have been. Never forget them, honor them always, thank them, pay tribute to them.

MOBILE, Ala. -- Harold Pouyadou awoke before 8 that Sunday morning, Dec. 7, 1941, and was getting ready for church. Only 21, he had celebrated his birthday the week before.

Most of his fellow sailors on Ford Island at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii were taking it easy on what was usually a day of rest.

"Then we saw the planes coming in below us," Pouyadou said, describing the 360-degree view from his third-floor barracks. "At first we thought it was some sort of a training mission. When they passed below us, we could see the insignia of the Japanese military."--continue reading.

HELP WANTED: LEADERSHIP IN CONGRESS, MANY POSITIONS NOW AVAILABLE

2009-12-03T20:11:00.000-08:00

Retired LTC Allen West is the type of conservative candidate who can help put America back on the tracks to recovery. The establishment republican party, led by Michael "Welcome to our big tent" Steele," has a different idea. West, and many conservatives like him, don't figure prominently in the RNC's 2010 plan. Well, the RNC doesn't figure in our plans, either.

I've always been impressed with West and I'm confident he'll be one of Florida's new congressmen come November 2010. You don't live in Florida? Send him some support anyway. We need more leaders like West in congress.

West for U. S. Congress--Florida's District 22:

Part of West's speech reminded me of Patton's closing remarks below:

*The Speech: June 5, 1944--Gen. George S. Patton, Jr.*

"...The General paused. His eagle like eyes swept over the hillside. He said with pride, "There is one great thing that you men will all be able to say after this war is over and you are home once again. You may be thankful that twenty years from now when you are sitting by the fireplace with your grandson on your knee and he asks you what you did in the great World War II, you WON'T have to cough, shift him to the other knee and say, "Well, your Granddaddy shoveled shit in Louisiana." No, Sir, you can look him straight in the eye and say, "Son, your Granddaddy rode with the Great Third Army and a Son-of-a-Goddamned-Bitch named Georgie Patton!"

20 years from now, what will your response be when your grandchildren ask the question?

SARAH HEATH, BARRY SOETERO: TWO DIFFERENT JOURNEYS

2009-11-27T00:01:00.000-08:00

In his column at American Thinker, Jack Cashill chronicles the lives of Obama and Palin. In it, he starts at the beginning of their lives and describes how both got to where they are today. And, with the help of the fringe media, we know just about everything about Palin. Obama, not so much:

In the spring of 1964, Sarah Heath, then just three months old, flew into backwater Skagway, Alaska (population 650) aboard a 1930s-era Grunman Goose to start a new life with her parents, brother, and sister.

At that same time, in America's other new outlier state, Hawaii, two-year-old Barry Obama was just getting used to a fatherless existence in the otherwise-comfortable world his white grandparents and occasionally his mother would make for him. --continue reading.

4 MORE GIs KILLED AS OBAMA CONTINUES TO DITHER ON TROOP POLICY--updated

2009-11-23T20:01:00.000-08:00

Months ago, Obama settled on an Afghan strategy. But when his top General requested an additional 40k troops, Obama seemed to forget about his previous decision and went completely blank. He has not made a decision on troop increases nor has he settled on what his "new" strategy will be. In fact, Obama has had 10 meetings with his advisers and still no decision has been reached:

Meeting in the Situation Room
Obama held the 10th meeting of his Afghanistan strategy review since mid-September on Monday night, with a large cast of foreign policy and military advisers, to go over that revised information from war planners. The two-hour Situation Room session was aimed at discussing "some of the questions that the president had, some additional answers to what he'd asked for," Gibbs said.

Not only has Obama's top General requested more troops, NATO has asked that all allied nations send additional troops as well. It's clear that more troops are needed, however, Obama is having some difficulty seeing the need.

Is Obama unable to make the tough decisions a war requires of a CIC, or is he and his closest advisers playing politics? Either way, more and more American GIs are dying as a result of these delays.

During a 24 hour period on Sunday, four more American GIs were killed. Some Afghan soldiers died too. This is nothing short of criminal. Your members of congress are having trouble dealing with this problem because they are too busy talking about an issue near-and-dear to their hearts: health care.

Well, I know of at least four GIs that no longer have a need for health care.

***UPDATE: Marathon Pundit reports on Obama's decision.

CODE PINK USING FT. HOOD TERROR ATTACK TO RAISE MONEY

2009-11-14T17:37:00.000-08:00

One of Obama's allies and political ATMs, Code Pink, an organization co-founded by Jodie Evans, has been discovered using our dead and wounded soldiers at Ft. Hood as a backdrop to raise funds for their subversive, anti-military, anti-American organization.

Kristinn Taylor, Free Republic's Communications Director, and columnist/radio talk show host Andrea Shea King are reporting yet another disgusting Code Pink story. So far, I have yet to hear the Obama administration denounce any of Code Pink's efforts, so I'll assume they don't have a problem with the actions of this subversive group. Of course, this could change in the future.

BIG GOVERNMENT is covering the latest Code Pink revelation. Taylor and King's previous Code Pink/Jodie Evans/Obama reports can be found here. If you're not familiar with these reports, you should be.

VETERANS DAY 2009--THANK YOU

2009-11-11T00:01:00.000-08:00

The history of Veterans Day indicates that the day has gone through more than one change over the years. At one time there was even confusion over when it was to be observed. However, our willingness and desire to thank all who have served our great nation has never changed. And it never will. Without our veterans, life today would be quite different. To all who have served, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.

This year I'd like to shine the light on one particular veteran. This vet goes by the name of Lockness. Truly a rare breed, a pioneer for sure. Come February, Lockness will turn 100. What do you get for a 100-year-old vet, anyway? Well, Lockness has a very simple, practical gift in mind, and in February I'm sure it will be enjoyed to the fullest. Thank you for your service, Lockness.

TONIGHT--"THE DC RUN"--THE ANDREA SHEA KING SHOW

2009-11-06T13:47:00.000-08:00

Andrea Shea King, Kristinn Taylor, John and Steve Vail arrived back to Florida's Space Coast this morning. It took about 37 hours of non-stop driving, walking around the capitol, meeting other protesters, and talking with legislators. These four, along with the other thousands making the last minute trip to Washington, represented the millions who couldn't be there. And they represented us very well. America is very proud of each and every one of them.

Later today, Andrea will be posting all about the trip. She has a slew of wonderful pics as well. Check her site--The Radio Patriot. Keep checking back for her updates and pics.

Tonight at 9 PM EST--THE ANDREA SHEA KING SHOW will be covering the trip to Washington. She's exhausted but soldiering on.

***Thanks goes out to John Vail for providing the vehicle and doing the bulk of the driving. On the first leg of the trip, Florida to DC, John drove the entire way, only stopping for fuel, etc.

LONG DAY IN WASHINGTON COMES TO AN END

2009-11-05T15:22:00.000-08:00

7:00 PM EST

Andrea Shea King, Kristinn Taylor, John Vail and son, Steve, are heading to the car to make the return 13 hr trip back to Florida's Space Coast. It was quite the day, historic.

Andrea has lots to report after she returns home, many pics to share as well. She was finally able to meet up with Lori Byrd, which was most enjoyable.

Crowd size, for whatever reason, was not something reported today. It could be I missed it but others were mentioning it too. Between Kristinn Taylor and another person (don't know their name), estimates range from 15,000 to 25,000.

That's all for now...check back later this evening.

ENTERING PELOSI'S OFFICE, BACHMANN'S TOO

2009-11-05T11:51:00.000-08:00

Cannon office building--2:45 PM EST

Andrea Shea King making her way to the offices of Pelosi, Bachmann:

First, Americans went into Pelosi's office and torn the health care bill to shreds, threw it on the floor. Pelosi not there or hiding under her desk. Police are everywhere, securing her office, closing it off from the dangerous, misguided Americans.

At this time, Andrea just entered Bachmann's office, introduced herself to her assistant, and now waiting to meet with the congresswoman.

Developing...

RALLY AT STEPS OF CAPITOL ENDS; AMERICANS HEADED INSIDE BUILDING TO CONFRONT REPS

2009-11-05T11:05:00.000-08:00

2:00 pm est:

The rally outside the Capitol building has just ended, people are now making there way to meet some of the reps in the house. The message: Stop this insane health care takeover of our nation--NOW!!

Andrea is making her way to Bachmann's office for a few words, and along the way I'm sure she'll have a word or two for some dem she meets in the hall too.

She will be reporting back in soon as things develop on her end.

Soon I will have my thoughts on how Fox News handled this whole affair, and I'm not happy at all. The best speakers with the exception of Bachmann were the non members of congress. Levin rocked 'em. More on that too.

THE CAPITOL IS ALIVE! CROWD GROWING

2009-11-05T08:40:00.000-08:00

11:30 AM EST

Andrea Shea King reports from the Capitol steps:

Crowd is huge. Her est is 3000 and growing by the minute. Crowd is spilling over from the steps to the grass area. Police seem to be just doing crowd control, securing building entrances. The usual. Report: 8 protesters arrested at Joe Lieberman's office. However, these protesters were urging Joe to vote FOR universal health care.

Lots of flags and signage. People are streaming in on foot from all directions...buses everywhere--Andrea is counting 18 from where she's standing.

News outlets are clearly present.

Andrea says organizers are starting with some music: "We won't be fooled again." I guess that would be the perfect song for this event.

We Won't Be Fooled Again

We'll be fighting in the streets with our children at our feet and the morals That they worship will be gone and the men who spurred us on sit in judgement Of all wrong they decide and the shotgun sings the song I'll tip my hat to the New constitution take a bow for the new revolution smile and grin at the change...

ARRIVING IN DC, KRISTINN TAYLOR ON LOCAL RADIO SHOW

2009-11-05T07:59:00.000-08:00

10:55 AM EST:

Andrea reports that Kristinn Taylor was just on the air with WMAL 630 AM in DC. Lots of folks calling in from the road--Americans are coming to DC from all points.

They are just now arriving in DC, Capitol building area...Kristinn is giving John directions around the city and now they're checking the parking situation. As soon as they get situated, they'll call in with a more detailed report from "the crime scene."

REPORT FROM THE CAPITOL--UPDATE

2009-11-05T07:01:00.000-08:00

Andrea just received a phone call from Mary Ann who's at the Capitol right now. She reports that people are already there--several thousand--and that media is in place. Mary Ann adds that 3 buses will be arriving from Orlando very soon. This is great news. Expecting huge turnout today.

UPDATE: Lori Byrd just called Andrea. Lori at Reagan International, wants to meet up with Andrea and crew.

FINAL PUSH INTO WASHINGTON--ANDREA SHEA KING REPORTS

2009-11-05T06:31:00.000-08:00

Florida to Washington DC road trip report--9:20 AM EST:

Andrea reports from Carmel Falls, Va., about 100 miles outside DC. Much colder now and morning commute traffic is picking up. She got a few hours sleep since leaving Florida but John Vail has had zero sleep--he's driven the whole way.

As of now, they're topping off the fuel tank for the final push into DC. John has them a bit ahead of schedule, ETA around 11:00AM EST. Andrea will report in again when they get into the city, early crowd est, media on site, etc.

HEADED TO WASHINGTON DC, ANDREA SHEA KING REPORTS FROM THE ROAD--ALL SYSTEMS "GO"

2009-11-04T21:55:00.000-08:00

WASHINGTON DC PATRIOT ROAD TRIP FILED AT 12:20 AM EST, NORTH OF BRUNSWICK, GA:

Andrea Shea King reports from northbound I-95 that the driving conditions and weather are perfect--a full moon hangs in the night sky.

In the vehicle: John Vail driving; Andrea riding shotgun, keeping the driver alert and dispensing sandwiches and corn chips. In the back seat is Free Republic's Communications Director, Kristinn Taylor. However, Kristinn isn't doing much in the way of "communicating" as he's sound asleep. Next to Kristinn is John Vail's 20 yr old son, Steve. This is Steve's first trip to Washington Dc, or as we like to call it, "the crime scene."

Andrea and Kristinn have spent a lot of time in DC, so young Steve will learn and see much during this historic event.

According to the driver, John Vail, ETA to Washington will be 10:00 AM EST Thursday morning.

I briefly spoke to John and asked if he had a comment for this update: His response: "Live free or die." Amen, brother.

More updates to come.

ANSWERING BACHMANN'S CALL: ANDREA SHEA KING, KRISTINN TAYLOR TRAVELING TO DC FOR THURSDAY'S CAPITOL RALLY--Updated

2009-11-04T12:53:00.000-08:00

Writer, blogger and radio show host, Andrea Shea King has answered Rep. Michele Bachmann's call to come to Washington DC this Thursday to help stop health care legislation that will eventually enslave all of America. Malkin has the latest on health care.

During a Monday interview on Glenn Beck's radio show, Bachmann asked that all available Americans travel to Washington DC, meet her on the Capitol steps, and go inside to look the reps in the eye and tell them to stop this bill.

Andrea is not traveling alone, either. Free Republic's Communications Director, Kristinn Taylor, will be taking the 13 hour, one-way trip too. Two other Florida patriots will be joining them as well. Sorry, but I don't have their names right now.

The foursome will be departing from Florida's Space Coast this evening, hitting I-95 and cruising to DC to cover Bachmann's, and America's, six.

UPDATE: Michele Bachmann just phoned Andrea to set up a meeting in her office sometime Thursday. PLUS!!! Tea Party Express II bigs are answering Bachmann's call too. They'll be breaking off from the express for a short time to make a quick flight to the DC rally. Full report at The Radio Patriot.

America, we're at DEFCON 2--health care legislation must be stopped. Do whatever you can, phone, email, or hit the road for DC.

****Check back as I will be updating throughout Thursday. I might have a few reports from the road tonight as well.

Get Well soon, Glenn. Reports are that he's not feeling well.

CODE PINK WITH HANDCUFFS

NY23 BIG TOP COMING DOWN

2009-11-02T06:16:00.000-08:00

The Ringling Bros and Barnum and Bailey big tent republicans are inviting YOU to the big show. The "big tenters" are asking that you leave your conservative principles at the gate, enter and have one hell of a great time under socialism's big top. Don't forget to bring the kids!

Now that Dede (NY23) has shown republicans that she's really a democrat, fewer folks will be inclined to fork over the price of admission to this circus extravaganza that is now defined as a big tent party. This morning, few establishment republicans have a good feeling--Newt, Mitt, Huck, to name a few. However, Palin, the blithering, drooling idiot from Alaska, probably feels just fine, thank you. Fred's probably enjoying the morning as well--Read the story.

JODIE EVANS: A RADICAL YOU SHOULD KNOW

2009-10-24T07:31:00.000-07:00

It doesn't take an Einstein to figure out the problem with a radical like Jodie Evans having the ear of Obama. So put your slide rules away.

As Glenn Beck has pointed out on many occasions, Obama is surrounded by radical leftists within his administration. These radical policy makers simply want to transform America into something more pleasing to the likes of Mao, Stalin and Castro. To date, they are making huge progress.

Jodie Evans, co-founder of CODE PINK, doesn't work in the Obama White House, but she does have Obama's ear. Oh, really? Yes, really.

Now you're probably wondering how a radical like Jodie Evans could get this close to the president of the United States. I was wondering that very thing, too. The answer can be found in a breaking story by Free Republic's Kristinn Taylor and The Radio Patriot's Andrea Shea-King.

On Friday, this stunning report exposing Jodie Evans and Obama was featured at both Big Government and Big Hollywood. It's required reading.

NOTE: On Monday, I fully expect Glenn Beck to place Jodie Evans' picture on the blackboard next to the other radicals surrounding Obama. Watch for it.

The name is EVANS, JODIE EVANS. Make a note of it.
