Many people are claiming that President Obama is the worst president ever. Certainly, there is some justice to that claim. Obama is doing his level best to destroy the economy. He's breaking virtually every promise he makes. He is weakening our image abroad, and leaving our allies to twist in the wind.
I don't really think he is the worst. Obama is merely continuing on the path others started. Jimmy Carter isn't willing to take the risk, and let his title slip away. He doesn't want some whipper snapper coming in and snatching the title of worst president ever away from him!
Sila Sahin, a German soap opera star on the show "Good Times, Bad Times", posed topless for Playboy. This would be in no way newsworthy except for the fact that the lovely woman is a Muslim.
To say that Islam is a sexually repressed society is a real understatement. They make the most puritanical of Americans seem like hopeless libertines at times.
Islam, and many Muslim countries, view women as second class citizens at best. In many countries, they are little more than slaves.
In news that won't be surprising to our regular readers, a new poll finds that a majority of Egyptians want to end the peace treaty with Israel.
The treaty was signed between Israel and Egypt in 1979. Before that, the two nations had clashed on several bloody occasions.
On this week's show, we discuss Boeing's union woes. 70% of the Tea Party is opposed to cuts in Medicare. How do they hope to fix anything without cutting entitlement spending? The Taliban is still going strong in Afghanistan. How much longer do we have to wait before we can admit nation building is a failure? President Obama has launched an investigation into why gas prices are so high. We do the legwork for him.
We're also doing two free giveaways this week. Tune in for a chance to win a copy of Atlas Shrugged or a Walking Liberty silver half dollar!

Last week, President Obama announced the launch of an investigation into why gas prices are so high. He said, "Last month, I asked my attorney general to look into any cases of price gouging, so we can make sure no one's being taken advantage of at the pump. Today, we're going a step further. The attorney general's putting together a team whose job it will be to root out any cases of fraud or manipulation in the oil markets that might affect gas prices."
It was a daring raid for the Taliban. It wasn't their first prison break-out, and it wasn't their biggest, but the stakes were still high.
For five months, it's believed they were tunneling into a prison in Kandahar where 500 Taliban prisoners were being held. They succeeded with flying colors. It can only mean that our success in Afghanistan is delayed or worse.
In my last article on insurance against economic collapse, I discussed how stored food could help you through a short term emergency, or supplement your food over the course of a long one. However, the downside of food storage is that no matter how much you put away, you eventually run out.
In a disappointing poll performed by McClatchy-Marist, they found that 70% of people who self identify with the Tea Party don't want cuts to Medicare or Medicaid.
This figure is lower than that of Democrats and Republicans where 80% of respondents oppose cuts.
