Fourth of July

1837 – 2009

What a difference!

“The Declaration of Independence cast off all the shackles of this dependency. The United States of America were no longer Colonies. They were an independent Nation of Christians, recognizing the general principles of the European law of nations.”

President John Quincy Adams

July 4, 1837

"One of the great strengths of the United States is … we have a very large Christian population -- we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation.

Barry Soetoro (a.k.a. Barack Hussein Obama)

April 6, 2009

CNS: Democrats’ Cap-and-Trade Bill Creates ‘Retrofit’ Policy for Homes and Businesses

The 1,400-page cap-and-trade legislation pushed through by House Democrats contains a new federal policy that residential, commercial, and government buildings be retrofitted to increase energy efficiency, leaving it up to the states to figure out exactly how to do that. This means that homeowners, for example, could be required to retrofit their homes to meet federal “green” guidelines in order to sell their homes, if the cap-and-trade bill becomes law. The bill, which now goes to the Senate, directs the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to develop and implement a national policy for residential and commercial buildings. The purpose of such a strategy – known as the Retrofit for Energy and Environmental Performance (REEP) – would be to “facilitate” the retrofitting of existing buildings nationwide. “The Administrator shall develop and implement, in consultation with the Secretary of Energy, standards for a national energy and environmental building retrofit policy for single...

Euractiv: Towards a Transatlantic Green New Deal

"A Global Green New Deal will only work if it succeeds in addressing both pressing environmental priorities and pressing social needs in industrialised and in developing countries," argues a June report by Worldwatch Institute prepared for the Heinrich Böll Foundation. "In the current perilous times, it has become commonplace to note that moments of crisis are also moments of opportunity," the authors write. To tackle the climate and...

Newsday: Senate bill fines people refusing health coverage

Americans who refuse to buy affordable medical coverage could be hit with fines of more than $1,000 under a health care overhaul bill unveiled Thursday by key Senate Democrats looking to fulfill President Barack Obama's top domestic priority. The Congressional Budget Office estimated the fines will raise around $36 billion over 10 years. Senate aides said the penalties would be modeled on the approach taken by Massachusetts, which now imposes a fine of about $1,000 a year on individuals who refuse to get coverage. Under the federal...

WND: eBay seller claims certified Kenya birth certificate

The eBay birth certificate saga continues. A seller claiming to have a certified copy of Barack Obama's birth certificate issued in a Mombasa, Kenya, hospital in 1961 is back up on eBay telling her story. Six previous times the posts have been removed. Even when the seller offered only autographed pictures of those allegedly responsible for securing the document, the posts have been removed. The seller now insists a YouTube video will be produced, presumably including images of the document. Then, the seller says, the full story will be given to...

CNBC: US Home Prices Seen Falling 40% Overall: Analyst

U.S. housing prices will fall by a double-digit percentage from already beaten-down levels, resulting in an overall 40 percent plunge by the time foreclosures peak in the second half of 2010, Barclays Capital economist Michelle Meyer said. Meyer issued her forecast two days after the Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller Home Price Indexes showed for April an 18.1 percent year-to-year decline, compared with 18.7 percent in March, in the rate of home price declines in 20 major U.S. metropolitan areas. The indexes have tracked the prices of U.S...

MW: Seven banks bring 2009 U.S. failures total to 52

Seven banks were closed by regulators on Thursday, including six in Illinois, bringing the total for 2009 to 52 as the U.S. banking system remains under pressure from rising unemployment and record foreclosures. The John Warner Bank, in Clinton, Ill., was closed by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. was appointed receiver. The FDIC then sold the bank's deposits and most of its assets to State Bank of Lincoln, in Lincoln, Ill. The same Illinois regulator also shut the First State...

CNN: Small business lending falls sharply

Despite emergency stimulus measures, small business lending continues to fall. In the just-ended quarter, the Small Business Administration's flagship program backed 30% fewer loans than it did a year ago, and 55% fewer loans than it did in 2007, before the recession set in. The numbers bear out the grim reports from business owners who say that credit is dangerously scarce for small firms. The SBA's 7(a) program approved 11,580 loans in the quarter ended June 30, valued at $2.5 billion. That's down from 16,490 loans,..

FT: Ship seizures loom for cash-strapped owners

Financially troubled shipowners could be facing a wave of ship seizures after two high-profile foreclosures suggested financiers’ and creditors’ patience was wearing thin. Seizures are expected to increase over the year as shipowners struggle to pay shipbuilders’ instalments due on new vessels. However, the extent of seizures might depend on whether a recovery in the rates earned by dry bulk ships, one of the most troubled sectors, is sustained. Sweden’s Nordea Bank last week announced it had sold 13 ships seized from Eastwind,..

LATimes: California sends out IOUs

Reporting from Sacramento -- Deep in debt and short on cash, California on Thursday churned out its first batch of IOUs in nearly two decades amid grumbles from bankers, growing public outrage and scant progress in negotiations to resolve the state's widening budget deficit. The state controller's office fired up a pair of printing presses and began rolling out nearly 29,000 IOUs totaling more than $53 million, most of them destined for residents around the state still awaiting income tax refunds. Recipients also include some businesses, pensioners,..

SwissInfo: Swiss banks turn backs on US clients

More Swiss banks are turning down business from potential customers in the United States fearing legal problems and a mass of red tape. Banking giant UBS earlier this week blocked access to investment accounts held by American clients as it winds down offshore services with the US. But other banks are also shunning the lucrative market across the Atlantic. With UBS embroiled in a bitter court case with the US tax authorities that threatens Swiss banking secrecy and its reputation as a wealth manager, rivals are adopting a safety-first attitude.

Fox: Al Lewis: Getting Religion in Market Of Shattered Trust

Feeling spiritually bankrupt after watching Bernie Madoff's sentencing, I took the subway uptown to the Union Theological Seminary, where they teach a class called "Christianity and the U.S. Crisis." "As a nation, as a culture, as Christians, we have behaved abominably," Serene Jones, the school's president, told me in her office. "We built a Tower of Babel out of greed and false religion and it's collapsed." Blame Wall Street, the money center banks, the mortgage industry, and the...

WP: Cybersecurity Plan to Involve NSA, Telecoms

The Obama administration will proceed with a Bush-era plan to use National Security Agency assistance in screening government computer traffic on private-sector networks, with AT&T as the likely test site, according to three current and former government officials. President Obama said in May that government efforts to protect computer systems from attack would not involve "monitoring private-sector networks or Internet traffic," and Department of Homeland Security officials say the new program will scrutinize only data going to or from...

SkyNews: Research Key As Brain Tumour Deaths Rise

They kill more men under 45 and women under 35 than any other cancer, reveals Brain Tumour Research. And brain tumours have overtaken leukaemia as the biggest cancer killer of children in the UK, with the number of children dying from a brain tumour in 2007, up 33% on 2001. While overall mortality rates from cancer are falling despite an...

News.au: Brothels put on staff for US navy

PERTH brothels are increasing staff to contend with the arrival of two US warships carrying more than 5400 sailors. Nuclear powered aircraft carrier USS George Washington and guided missile cruiser USS Cowpens docked off Fremantle yesterday. Prevalent in groups of five or six on the streets of Perth today, some sailors were asking locals: "Where do you go to party?''. Business groups estimate the sailors' arrival...

NDTV: Delhi HC legalises consensual gay sex

On Thursday, a landmark verdict was given by the Delhi High Court, basically changing a law which has been part of our system for the last 150 years, Section 377 of the IPC, to allow consensual sex between two adults of the same sex. There were tears of joy from people in the courtroom, who said they had waited years for this freedom, as also voices of anger from those who opposed it. But once again, India's legal system has stepped in where politicians and conservatives have so often left a vacuum. The gays no longer have to remain in...

CNN: Judge Kozinski admonished for explicit items on Web site

A judicial council on Thursday admonished the chief judge of the nation's largest federal appeals court for having "sexually explicit photos and videos" on his personal Web site, but decided against any further punishment. Judge Alex Kozinski, 58, of the San Francisco, California-based 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals previously apologized and had recommended an investigation because of the public...

NorwayPost: Norway’s oldest church

The ground under the Urnes stave church is sinking, and this national treasure in Sognefjord has begun to sink at its northern end. During the summer of 2008, researchers from NTNU worked to determine how much the church could be lifted and stabilized without beeing ruined. At the same time, dendrochronologist Terje Thun took tree ring samples from the oldest wood. The samples confirm that the chruch was erected over a longer period in the 1130's. At the same time...

DM: Schools bar parents from sports day ... to keep out paedophiles

Parents have been banned from attending their children's sports day in an extraordinary measure to protect pupils from child abductors and paedophiles. More than 270 pupils from four primary schools took part in the event - but there were no spectators because the organisers said they could not prevent...

TG: You can really smell fear claim scientists who also claim being terrified is contagious

Researchers have shown that we subconsciously detect whether others are scared by picking up chemicals they release from their bodies. They believe the signals can be catching and spread around a group. Dr Bettina Pause and colleagues at the University of Dusseldorf in Germany put cotton pads under the...

DM: Blind man sees wife for first time after having a TOOTH implanted into his eye

A blind man is able to see his wife for the first time - after having a tooth implanted into his eye. Martin Jones had one of his front teeth removed and turned into a lens holder before it was inserted in his right eye. The former builder, who married his spouse Gill four years ago, can now see for the first time since a tub of molten aluminium exploded in his face 12 years ago. Mr Jones, 42, said: ‘I met my wife when I was blind and when I found out there was a chance I would get my sight back the first...

A magnitude 6.0 earthquake struck Friday morning in the Gulf of California, off the western coast of Mexico, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.
