There is no getting around the fact that that the perpetrated and collusive deception by Burleigh County State's Attorney's Office (BCSAO) prosecutors Feland and Suhr, and North Dakota State Auditor's Office auditor Jason Wahl regarding Spencer’s departure status did in fact impact the outcome rendered by the jury. The trial transcript shows that the only substantive question asked by the jury during their deliberations surrounded the issue of what is a voluntary versus an involuntary resignation.
It is to be fervently hoped that all Americans who value truth and honesty, regardless of their former convictions, regardless of their denominations or party affiliations, regardless of their commitment to the leadership, will sit down tonight and write letters to our delegations and our president, demanding that action be taken to punish this corruption, prevent it from succeeding in affecting policy or law in America and reinstituting integrity and open investigation of scientific data, not just by “approved” experts but by all of us. Further, we must demand an end to the circus of Copenhagen.
“The structure of government designed by the Founding Fathers is the truly unique and powerful features of the American Constitution.” This was stated by Supreme Court Justice Antonia Scalia in an address to the Heritage Foundation’s President’s Club earlier this month. He went on to say: “The Bill of Rights, often help us as the highest expression of American freedom. The Constitution’s limits on government power, for example the division of legislative power between the House and Senate and the difference manner of election for the two bodies, ensure the Bill of Rights is more than just words. Even the Soviet Union had a robust bill of rights, but this was a mere parchment barrier since the rest of the country’s constitution placed no limits on the exercise of dictatorial powers.”
What do a “flock of furrow-browed politicos” and a “well-dressed couple who conned their way into a White House shindig” have in common? When it comes to the art of the con—as the author of this op-ed observes—to the untrained eye, both groups can paint a persuasive portrait. Dr. Marvin Folkertsma—maintains that the recent “romp of Mr. and Mrs. Coiffed-to-Perfection is the most amusing story to pop out of the ideological fever swamp of D.C.” in quite some time. To assess the merit of this headline, Dr. Folkertsma turns to a couple of con game connoisseurs: Herman Melville and Mark Twain. Both “were America’s most insightful writers, in that they could smell a con game a continent away.
Much has been made by Congressman Pomeroy (as well as Senators Conrad and Dorgan) about the provision of "negotiated rates" for the public option rather than tying rates to what Medicare currently pays
This is
The dirty little secret is that Medicare does not reimburse doctors and hospitals at a dollar-for-dollar cost level for services. As a result, doctors and hospitals charge private insurance more to make up the lost ground. This means Medicare itself is driving up the cost of private health insurance.
Implications are enormous. A second global warming treaty negotiated at Copenhagen next week makes no sense at all. The vast amount of greenhouse gas emissions, estimated at 99.7%, is beyond human control. At the same time, the cost to reduce further emissions is estimated to cost over $100 trillion. Much of that cost would be borne by the United States.
The White House remains mum. Oblivious to the scandal, President Obama is traveling to Copenhagen to sign a global warming treaty replacing the Kyoto Accords (which the U.S. never signed). It would obligate the U.S. to substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions and subsidize reduction in other countries to the tune of billions of dollars. Our lifestyle would change.
Congressional leaders, too, remain silent about the hoax. Congress long ago bought the AGW argument with the passage of cap and trade legislation in the U.S. House. Now the Senate takes its whack at cap and trade.
I have never known anyone like Melissa. She was funny, talented, strikingly beautiful, loving, creative. Maybe you know someone like her. (Or maybe you just know someone's sister or daughter . . . or mother.) Sometimes I see a little of her in my own beautiful and talented young daughters. I wonder what life will have in store for them. I hope that they will have the opportunity to have every chance to fulfill their promise and dreams.
I hope that a “health care system” that views saving life an undesirable result of “misguided” application of the Hippocratic Oath and an “’outmoded’” concern for the individual patient” will not cut deprive them of that promise.
Powerful evidence of this positive link to life from increased CO2 and warmth comes from digital satellite observations that were processed, refined and compared to changes of satellite-based maps of vegetation collected by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s series of AVHRR (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer) sensors. The digital satellite observations were processed and refined into maps by NASA’s Global Inventory Modeling and Mapping Studies project.
Temperatures have always fluctuated naturally on this planet. Looking back over the past 100 years, the earth warmed from 1900 to around 1940. There was global cooling after that until the late 1970's. It warmed again in the 1980's and 1990's, with the warmest year on record being 1998. There has been no warming since then even as CO2 has increased during the entire period.
As of the 2009 growing season, the US has now gone a record 21 straight years without a widespread drought in the Cornbelt. Soybean yields this year are easily a record. Corn yields were just shy of a record because it was actually too COOL in the Upper Midwest, not allowing the crop to reach full maturity. Climate models from man made global warming alarmists have consistently predicted increasing droughts along with yield reducing excessive heat.
As a meteorologist that understands these models and appreciates our challenge to get the weather forecast right for next week, it has always amazed me that the public has been so easily bamboozled into believing the exaggerated 20 or 50 year cataclysmic climate forecasts. Would you keep listening to the same weather man if he was wrong 21 forecasts in a row, then tried to sell you on his prediction for 50 years from now?
The sunspot count continues to be at the lowest level in a century. Looking back in the past, there appears to be a strong link between an inactive sun and a cooler earth The sun is the source of incoming heat on this planet. It has cycles that we haven't been around long enough to study and understand clearly. We do know with certainty that all of the many temperature fluctuations in the past were caused by natural cycles or events. Those natural cycles will continue to happen with or without human beings.. That's why temperatures have gone up and down the past 100 years even while man made CO2 has gone up EVERY year.
The biggest legitimate link involving CO2 is with plants. We know that increasing CO2 increases plant growth and crop yields. CO2 is essential to all life forms on earth. Treating it as pollution is about as absurd as believing we can predict our climate 50 years from now. We also know that the warmer our planet has been in the past, the more life it supported.

The time frame for this comprehensive study is significant. It studied the years of greatest warming this century. The scientists concluded: “Between 1982 and 1999, 25 percent of the Earth’s vegetated area experienced increasing plant productivity”. They assumed that “increasing CO2 caused plants to grow better” but “carbon dioxide fertilization couldn’t be solely responsible for the change; climate change must be playing a role as well.” Part of the increase was from more sunshine in the tropics and part was from warmer temperatures in the high northern latitudes. http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Features/GlobalGarden/
I believe in reducing all forms of real pollution, recycling, conserving and developing renewable energy. I also believe strongly in telling the truth. The truth is that CO2 is not pollution and that man did not cause much of the global warming that occurred in the last one hundred years. Don't believe the cleverly constructed presentations using distorted data from agenda driven groups. They consider their hidden interests to be more important than the truth. They often use well intentioned credible people to help perpetrate the scam. Don't believe them. We need to hold our policy makers accountable for their decisions, basing them on truth and the best interest of our country and planet. Don't believe me either. Educate yourself on the subject, verify that everything stated here is the truth...........then believe it!!!

The "consensus" warm-mongers could have declared it only counts as "peer-reviewed" if it's published in Peer-Reviewed Studies published by Mann & Jones Publishing Inc (Peermate of the Month: Al Gore, reclining naked, draped in dead polar bear fur, on a melting ice floe), and Ed Begley Jr and "Andy" Revkin would still have wandered out glassy-eyed into the streets droning "Peer-reviewed studies. Cannot question. Peer-reviewed studies. The science is settled."
Looking forward to Copenhagen, Herman Van Rumpoy, the new President of the European Union and an eager proponent of the ecopalypse, says 2009 is "the first year of global governance". Global government, huh? I wonder whereyou go to vote them out of office. Hey, but don't worry, it'll all be "peer-reviewed".
It may be a clever rhetorical claim that not making a decision is a decision. However, when one has time to play, party, politic, and campaign, but not time to decide how to best lead, direct, protect, and give meaning to Americans whose lives are on the line, it is neither clever nor leadership. If I did not respect the office of the President, I would say that President Obama's failure to act border on dereliction of duty and treason.
Against Rule 16 of the North Dakota Rules of Criminal Procedure, Burleigh County State's Attorney's Office attorney Feland withheld from defendent Blunt and Hoffman investigative interviews and/or witness statements collected during the prosecution of the case. Rule 16 (f)(1)(B) delineates under “Demands for Production of … Statements of Witnesses” that “Upon a defendant's written request, the prosecution must furnish the defendant: (b) any statements made by the listed prosecution witnesses.”
This is the danger of the Obama presidency, as Barack Obama juggles a half dozen major bills along with several foreign-policy challenges, any one of which risk failure that could damage his presidency severely, if not destroy it altogether. Since the summer especially, Obama’s executive style has been carefully documented with increasing alarm by president-watchers, even those who are sympathetic to his goals.

It was 25 years ago that another American president, Ronald Reagan, delivered an extraordinary speech at Fudan, one unknown even to Reagan devotees. It was one of the 40th president’s best moments abroad, akin to his May 1988 speech at Moscow State University. Here, I would like to revisit that speech, not simply to pay due homage, but to reinforce Reagan’s teachable moment—needed in America in 2009 as much as China in 1984—and perhaps to uplift conservatives in need of some political inspiration.
TORT REFORM, THE BAD GUYS, EARMARKS ARE WASTEFUL, COLLEGIALITY HAS ITS LIMITS, THE DOWNSIDE OF A MONOCULTURE, HE IS IN PRISON FOR LIFE, PRAIRIE SCHOOLS, PRAIRIE CHURCHES, “GRANDMOTHER SCAM”, RON, STOP DIGGING!, DAKTOIDS
While having full knowledge that there was evidence to the contrary (as had already been extensively established), Burleigh County State's Attorneys Suhr and Feland still continued to forcefully present deceptive opening and closing statements that the Spencer issues were criminal and even questioned witnesses Jason Wahl, Cammie O’Conner, James Long, Jodi Bjornson, and BilliPeltz to establish and perpetrate this ruse. These repeated, knowingly-disingenuous actions undoubtedly mislead the judge and jury to believe that clearly-known, non-criminal offenses were criminal – in short, they lied to the Judge, jury, and citizens of North Dakota in order to secure a guilty verdict against Sandy Blunt.
Put your faith in God and yourself, not others. No politician is ever going to lift you out of poverty. History proves that politicians who promise to provide for people have evil motives and nothing but contempt for your health and well-being. They will say anything to get you to giving up your individual rights and liberties. The cavalry isn’t coming.
George Washington accepted the congressional request as a cultural consensus regarding the prevailing Christian precepts. On October 3, 1789, President Washington issued the first Thanksgiving Proclamation. Had the American Civil Liberties Union or a media obsessed with anti-religious bias existed at that time, they would probably have condemned the Proclamation as a bigoted, right-wing conspiracy.
We do not have a representative government in America today. Laws are written in unintelligible code by anonymous special interests, and our representatives shield these interests' schemes. The officials do not represent those who elect them; they do not do their job; they do not even try. Instead, they blindly vote for what they have not read, what they do not understand, and what they have no interest in studying.
Tear down that wall …so they can get a better look at me!!! Is there no-one in the White House grown-up enough to say, “Er, Mr President, that’s really the kind of line you get someone else to say about you”? And maybe somebody could have pointed out that November 9th 1989 isn’t about him but about millions of nobodies whose names are unknown, who lead dreary lives doing unglamorous jobs and going home to drab accommodations, but who at a critical moment in history decided they were no longer going to live in a prison state. They’re no big deal, they’re never going to land a photoshoot for Vanity Fair.
America, circa 2009, is not America, circa 1989. And you, Mr. Obama, are no Ronald Reagan. Only WE, the American people, have the power to change this picture. A strong, free, financially sound and morally straight America has always been a powerful force for peace, prosperity and for good in the world. A weak, bankrupt America led by a weak, dithering president, is a danger to world peace and prosperity - and in a very poor position to lecture the Chinese leadership about anything.
Why is Obama so arrogant at home, like a tiger in America to a government he agrees with, but so docile, like a mouse overseas, to governments with whom he should disagree? Whose side is he on?? By the way, the definition of “pragmatical” is (1)“officious; meddlesome; (2) “dogmatic; opinionated; conceited.” A “pragmatic sanction” ; any of various Royal decrees that had the force of fundamental law. An analogy would be if a thug held you up and demanded “your money or your life.” the pragmatic solution would be to give him the money. It’s like asking sheep and wolves to “cooperate” on making Thanksgiving Dinner! Or like asking three sheep and three wolves to each contribute “their fair share” to Thanksgiving Dinner. If they put it to a vote and it’s tied, what do think will be for dinner?
Since the common form of Liberalism has, in the background, a spiritual motivation, it is accompanied by a misapplied moral or religious zeal. For Liberals, a Conservative who objects to Liberal programs is not merely wrong, he is a bad person—and not too much farther to the left one hears that he ought to be “reeducated.” The Conservative, on the other hand, responds as though the issues were rational ones. He argues from matters-of-fact, i.e., the way human beings have behaved for centuries. He recommends the application of practical solutions based on actual experience. How droll!
Born in Everett, Washington on December 4, 1916, Konnerup was shaped by the crucible of the Great Depression. He survived it the old-fashioned, American way: faith and family, himself and his parents, hard work, rugged individualism. For the remainder of his life, he would lament Americans’ slow surrender of responsibility from the self to the federal government.”
The trial transcript gives fairly plain and damning evidence that both Feland and Wahl could converse as they did in open court ONLY if they both knew that attorney Hoffman did not know of the November 8, 2007 memo. It smells like a collusion to conspire to commit legal fraud in open court. While admittedly being a legal layman, it seems to me that this behavior is the very essence of perjury; perjury actively induced and supported by Feland.
Government keeps raising the cost of doing business and the handwriting is on the wall. The brain drain has started. In the face of federal takeovers, some former banking and insurance industry executives are testing the waters overseas. Singapore, Switzerland and Dubai are wooing U. S. talent.
Once inappropriately added, the sick leave and moving expense issues (which were known by the prosecutors to not be crimes) were used as a major subject basis to portray Blunt unfavorably with innuendo that could not be supported by facts. Had Feland not lied and manipulated these items into the case as crimes, a significant portion of BCSAO’s argument, testimony, and opening/closing statements would have been absent. The effectiveness of portraying Blunt using this blatantly dishonest technique cannot of course be quantified, but I conjecture that it was quite pivotal in procuring an unjustified outcome.
How bad could it get? If the social order breaks down, civil unrest could disrupt markets and shortages of essential goods could occur. The resulting chaos could trigger martial law. A strong leader—a Caesar—could institute some sort of command order. Millions would resent it, but it would be accepted, because the alternative—civil conflict, chronic disorder, and impending starvation—would be intolerable. In such a calamity, Caesar would be the lesser of two evils. The American Republic and Constitution would join earlier democracies in the ashbin of history.
Burleigh County State's Attorney's Office withholds a critcal memo stating that much of the Sandy Blunt trial was one big FAT LIE! The memo proved that the N.D. State Auditor's Office had consulted with the N.D. Attorney General's Office to establish that the seperation of David Spencer was INVOLUNTARY. The prosecutor's office knew that the primary issue of their prosecution was false and the State Auditor's Office helped in the deception!
