STEVE CATES: BLUNT DISCOVERY PREFERENTIALLY PROVIDED AND WITHHELD

Prosecutors evidently separated the wheat from the chaff when providing discovery to defendant Sandy Blunt and gave him only the chaff. The Burleigh County State's Attorney's Office seem to have PREFERENTIALLY PROVIDED to and PREFERENTIALLY WITHHELD from Blunt materials from four criminal investigation reports authored by Special Agent (SA) Michael Quinn of the North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) during the fall of 2007.

186 pages of documents that had little if anything to do with the question of the alleged crime were provided to the defendant. Four law enforcement reports and 142 pages as well as a 1.25 hour long audio recording were not provided. The withheld documents and recording were material to the charges and substantiated that the crime that Blunt was being tried for did not exist. And the Burleigh County prosecutors knew it!

SELWYN DUKE: WHY OBAMA’S BIRTH CERTIFICATE MATTERS, ESPECIALLY NOW

Well, if a major law-enforcement agency is producing fraudulent evidence for the purposes of damaging a sitting president, wouldn’t that warrant investigation, too? The undeniable, irrefutable fact here is that there is smoke. And we need to find out who started the fire.

DR. MARK W. HENDRICKSON: THE ELECTION-YEAR POLITICS OF ENERGY

The president’s statement about America having only 2 percent of oil reserves is misleading. The size of our reserve is actually quite vast, but the percent of the world’s oil we have is far less important than the amount we produce. The United States accounts for at least 6 percent of global production of petroleum—a figure that would be significantly higher had President Obama’s party not been impeding and restricting domestic petroleum production for years.

DR. SAMUEL S. STANTON, JR.: VIRAL VIDEO AND INTERNATIONAL JUSTICE
Why then, do people need to take notice?
 
The answer is not in what Kony is doing today. The answer lies in 20 years of Kony’s leadership of the LRA after the Ugandan Bush War (1981-1986) that left Yoweri Museveni as president of Uganda. Between the late 1980s and the early 2000s, Kony was responsible for authorizing and leading the way in the abduction of over 30,000 children used as sex slaves, child soldiers, or killed for not cooperating.

DR. MARVIN FOLKERTSMA: A CENTENNIAL VERDICT ON PROGRESSIVISM (1912-2012)

Indeed, over the course of the past century, far too many progressives—in my view—have never believed in equality of the races, today insisting that, left to their own devices, African Americans cannot make it on their own and thus need artificial props like affirmative action to lift them up. Contemporary progressives may say that they believe in equality, but they want government programs that advantage some over others.

VASKO KOHLMAYER: DAWKINS’ CONUNDRUM - HOW CAN SOMETHING COME FROM NOTHING?:

To suggest that the absence of a thing could give rise to anything is obviously absurd. But this is exactly the position Richard Dawkins finds himself in. He has to explain the coming into existence of the universe from the absence of the very things which define and comprise it.

SALLY MORRIS: BELIEVE YOUR LYIN’ EYES

The bottom line in this is becoming ever more clear to some of us who are at leisure to think in the "political mental ward" that the United States has become.  The press is afraid of the truth.  The mechanism for informing the public, so vital to effective and proper self-government, has broken down.  Whether through an essential factor of fear on spec, or through intimidation implied or specific in this particular subject area, it does not really matter.  The result is a people left uninformed about issues critical to their decision making and their future.

While this crime is making headlines, Coon states that it was merely the horrible culmination of continual racial harassment her son had to endure at East High. Moreover, after conducting an investigation that included extensive interviews with parents and students, I've learned that Coon's son is not alone. Other white students also report a pattern of racial harassment at the high school at the hands of their peers -- and, shockingly, their teachers.A

JON BASIL UTLEY: WAR, SOCIAL VALUES, AND RON PAUL

Evangelicals like to quote a biblical text that God favors those who favor the Jews. However, for them they mean only Jews who make wars and contribute to chaos in the Middle East. Jewish peacemakers are cursed in their view. No tears were shed for Yitzak Rabin who negotiated peace with the Arabs until Israeli fanatics killed him. Indeed Pat Robertson said that Rabin was killed because he was trying to thwart God's plans.

RUBEN LACKMAN: NORTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES - WHEN DO THEY BECOME “DYSFUNCTIONAL?”

So Higher Education must, by its very nature must always have as it highest goal, the seeking, the never-ending search for the truth, the excellent, the honest, about humanity. When it abandons this quest for greatness in the truly great things, and seeks values in numbers and mass instead of intrinsic self-worth, it has become dysfunctional.
