People keep sending me compelling evidence that 9/11 was an inside job. One of the first videos to suggest somethng was amiss was Michael Moore's Farenheit 9/11. Later on, someone sent me 9/11 Mysteries, which was a bit more compelling than Farenheit 9/11. Today I watched Loose Change, which is the most compelling argument that 9/11 was an inside job that I have yet seen. Compared to those who argue that 9/11 was an inside job, the opposition argument is extraordinarily weak and suspiciously lacking in evidence. How long has it been since our government has told us the truth about anything?

If i can imagine something happening, it never does. If it does happen, it NEVER happens how i imagined.

Things seem to happen purely by chance. This is in all aspects of my life.

Does this happen to you, its irritating!?

Supporters of the operating levy for the Lakewood Falls School District wore bright yellow T-shirts reading “PASS: Parents Advocating School Support,” but there faces were somber as election results came in Tuesday night.
According to complete but unofficial results, Issue 5, an emergency operating levy, was defeated by a vote of 2,239 (for) and 2,724 (against) the measure. School officials said an additional $3,200,000 would have been raised annually by the 7.9 million dollar levy.
The School Board will discuss options during their meeting on Thursday, said school board president Clara Synfelder.
“We’ll decide when to put the levy back on the ballot,” she said. “Waiting for the state to fix school funding is just wasting time.”
Synfelder said she is encouraged since the levy lost by less than 500 votes Tuesday, while an 8.5-mill levy lost by over 1,500 votes six months ago.
The district’s teachers plan to work with the parent’s group to insure the levy passes next time, said Andrea Arconti, president of the Lakewood Falls Education Association and a teacher at Mann Middle School.
“This levy effects our community, when it doesn’t pass, property values go down,” she said.
If Tuesday’s levee had passed the owner a $140,000 home would have been charged an extra $332 a year in property taxes, according to School District Secretary Treasurer Rosalyn Calhoun.
Superintendent Mark Quail said that if an operating levy doesn’t pass before the next school year, it will necessitate significant cuts and reductions in scholastic and athletic programs for Lakewood Falls schools. The school district will consider cutting back bussing to the state minimum, to reduce janitorial and support staff, eliminating elementary school music teachers, and implementing “pay-to-play” fees for atheletes, he said.
The district is comprised of 21 precincts. The levy failed in 14 precincts Tuesday, including all of those in the southeast section of the city near McCoy Industries, where more than 400 workers have been laid off in the past year.

It's been said that Lisa Marie Nowak could possibly spend the rest of her life in prison. I know that she pepper sprayed her rival and attempted to kidnap her, but I can't help but think that she shouldn't have to spend the rest of her life in prison. Despite what some of you may think, ANY of us could be pushed over the edge into doing something we wouldn't normally do. I think she should be punished, but I think that she should get professional help rather than life imprisonment.

given the current crop of so-called leaders of the democrat party, arent you the least bit embarrassed to even admit you ARE a democrat? when did the democrats decide that treason was better than patriotism and that allying with terrorists was preferable to loyalty to ones president and country? are you really prepared for the consequences of your utter failure to grasp the seriousness of the threat posed by radical islam?

as a black person i do not think it was a racist attack,it shows what certain men are capable of when they have power over another- abuse and savagery-even when that person is suffering from a severe medical condition

im truly not suprised that most white people support the police as they see nothing wrong with abusing others. how the hell is it acceptable to have four men jump on and punch a woman-have you ever seen a child abuser get such treatment off the police ???? why because they would not treat their own that way

how many people who have got drunk have had the police treat them that way - no thought not

if you see nothing wrong with with the clip, just do a quick test for me watch the footage again then if you can look yourself in the mirror and say that you would feel the same if a white person was treated in the same way!!

again i state that this was not a racist attack,but normal behaviour displayed by some people who have an instinct to abuse their power

Getting my normal haircut from my barber, Brutus. It's usually so boring I fall asleep and he taps me on the back of the neck when he is done to shows me the haircut in a mirror. Anyway, two other customers begin to exchange words. Brutus stopped cutting my hair to calm the situation, as he knew both men. From what I could hear during the yelling, the men’s names were Marty and Shawn.

Brutus insisted they stop, as they have been friends too long. Marty and Shawn appeared to reconcile, but then Shawn hit Marty with a kick to the face and soon threw him through the barbershop’s front plate glass window.

Total mayhem & I was not pleased to witness it. The customer in the waiting area (another acquaintance of mine, Bobby) thought this was funny and stated Marty "jumped through the window to run away from Shawn". At that point, I left, unfinished haircut & all.

Now I wonder if I should have stayed so the police got the correct story. Should I go back to the barbershop today?

this story is from the Chicago Tribune, its a story published before our local election in which Todd Stroger was running for Cook County Board president. what IT does NOT tell you is how the Dems concealed facts from the people in order to get Stroger on the ballot and keep any other Dems from challenging him it was a dirty underhanded democratic macine ploy and of course it worked but Obama was a part of it. that's Your "hero" Obama . HE was ORDERED by the Democratic party on who to endorse and that was Stroger . Obama is in every sense of the word a machine Democrat .INCIDENTALLY Todd Stroger a very heavily democratic machine player was elected and has proceeded to cut almost all county health care for the poor by closing down clinics in poor black areas (Stroger IS black himself) and is now on his way in getting rid of some law enforcement officers in Cook County and also prosecutors.
