Black Leader Calls for Special Counsel to Investigate Possible Voting Rights Corruption at Justice Department

Political Appointees Said to Overrule Career Staff in Election Intimidation Case

Washington DC: In light of a Washington Times report today that political appointees at the U.S. Department of Justice forced career prosecutors to drop and/or reduce charges against men observed intimidating Philadelphia voters last election day, Project 21 Chairman Mychal Massie is calling for the appointment of a special counsel to investigate this alleged obstruction of the Voting Rights Act by the Obama Administration.

“From all accounts, this was a clear-cut violation of peoples’ right to vote without fear and intimidation, but the Obama Administration appears to be trying to sweep it under the rug,” said Massie. “After all of the allegations about the Bush Administration politicizing the Justice Department, this smacks of either extreme ignorance or extreme hubris on the part of their successors. Whatever the case, an independent investigation is needed to get to the bottom of what’s going on over there.” Read more

People Think Obama Should Oppose Wolf Delisting Because Bush Supported It

It appears maybe Barack Obama will have his recent statement that all his decisions will be based on science tested immediately. Shortly before leaving office, the Bush administration once again announced plans to remove protection of the gray wolf. Upon Obama’s taking over the White House, an order was sent out suspending all pending actions by the Bush administration. This included the wolf delisting proposal.

Ken Salazar took over at the Department of Interior and recently it was announced that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service would proceed with the proposal Bush and then Sec. Dirk Kempthorne had devised. Needless to say this angered a lot of people who, it seems, just assumed that Obama would oppose delisting because it was a Bush initiative. Read more

“The Obamaman Can”……Again!

It was one year ago tomorrow that I first pasted up the YouTube video of “The Obamaman Can”, produced by the folks at the Schnitt Show radio broadcast that airs out of the Tampa, Florida area.

I thought it would be fun to bring it back and have a look and listen to see if any of his predictions have come to fruition.

Senators Crapo and Risch Sell Out Republican Party and Idaho

Guest commentary by Dr. Rex Rammell

It didn’t take Risch long to show his true colors. On his very first vote, Risch joined Crapo and 10 other liberal Republican and 54 Democrat senators to stop a Republican filibuster, which would have continued debate and allowed for possible amendments to the huge omnibus public land grab bill currently before the U.S. Senate.

The “Omnibus Public Lands Management Act of 2009” will cordon off more than 3 million acres from energy leasing by restricting various areas as “federal wilderness” or “wild and scenic” river way. The Act includes 160 separate land measures including Senator Crapo’s Owyhee Wilderness. It also includes 45 pork laden earmarks including a $461 million legal settlement to restore a minimum of 500 salmon to the San Joaquin River in California. The Act is expected to cost $10 billion.

Why I’m Not Thankful We’ll Have Obama as President – Yet

Washington, D.C. – Black conservative leader Deneen Borelli, a full-time senior fellow with the Project 21 black leadership network, says she’s not thankful America is about to have Barack Obama as President – at least, not yet.

While she’s grateful for “our nation’s greatness and endless opportunity…” which made it possible for “a fatherless, racial minority of modest means rise to the most powerful position in the world,” Borelli says, and even “excited… about Barack Obama’s achievement,” she’s reserving judgment until she sees what kind of President Barack Obama turns out to be for not only racial minorities, but all Americans.

If we do not act, ever corner of our country will be impacted. We cannot allow this to happen. Read more

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Approves Of Animal Slaughter

If you don’t like that headline then perhaps you should also not like one that states that Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is an animal killer and an abuser. There are however a few marked differences between what some are accusing Gov. Palin of being and what I am accusing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of being but both bear striking similarities………..that is if you are willing to look at things from a honest perspective.

There will always be people who will have an issue with the killing of any animal and some to the extreme of any living thing whether plant or animal. We witness everyday people who ignorantly support the protection of a handful of animals while being responsible for the deaths of more than they saved. For that, I offer no cures nor do I pretend that I can in all honesty have any marked alterations to their beliefs. I expect nothing different in return either. Read more

Oh, Stop Worrying About Barack Obama

I get a constant dose of, “Stop worrying about Barack Obama!”. I read it everywhere. One of the most spread about lies is the one telling Americans that as gun owners we have nothing to worry about. We are told that Obama supports the Second Amendment and respects the rights of lawful citizens to keep and bear arms.

When I read all this malarkey, I am reminded of a parrot a co-worker of mine used to have. After work one afternoon, I went with this guy to his beach-side condominium. From previous conversations at work, I knew Dave had a parrot. He had told me some of the shenanigans this parrot, named Julio, had gotten into since becoming of member of Dave’s family. One thing I was told is that the parrot was really only loyal to one person and that happened to be Dave. He merely tolerated the rest. Read more

Sen. McCain’s “Outreach Program” Reaches To Skinny Moose Media

This afternoon I had the opportunity to participate in a telephone conference call with Sen. John McCain. As part of his Outreach Program, bloggers/journalists are invited to listen in to comments made by the presumptive republican nominee to run for the presidency of the United States and pose questions or comments if time permits. Although this was my second invitation, this was the first time I have been able to participate due to time constraints.

Mr. McCain was running late, but once on board he took about 5 minutes to make some brief comments. He congratulated Hillary Clinton for the efforts she put into her campaign and then acknowledged that Sen. Barack Obama would be the presumptive counterpart in the race for the White House representing the democratic party. Read more
