Mark Gaffney’s new book is now at the publisher and scheduled for release September 1, 2008. I have only seen a couple of chapters of the book (the ones I worked on), but it is sure to be a hit. It is a well researched effort and a must read for all who want to understand the events of that fateful day. I plan on buying a number of copies for my family and friends.
I have it linked on the sidebar for those who wish to pre-order at Amazon.
Disclaimer:
Due to the manner in which the government has handled the aftermath of 9/11 in its refusal to release critical information to the public, there has been a lot of wild speculation in the public domain about just how involved the military-intelligence community was in those events. My assistance with this book does not necessarily imply my endorsement of Mark’s conclusions regarding that involvement.
My own personal experience has led me to challenge the government in Federal Court in regards to altered and bogus information released by the National Transportation and
Safety Board, and deceptions by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. I simply do not know what happened on 9/11, because the government refuses to tell us other than what most of us saw on television. The 911 Commission was to serve to explain to us what happened on behalf of the government, but we now know that even they were fed altered information and much more was simply withheld.
Mark’s book lays out the solid evidence for one aspect of those attacks in Washington, DC. Despite government efforts to cover-up the facts, the photographic and eyewitness testimony is irrefutable, and just before going to press, even the United States Air Force acknowledged our findings but could not offer any answers.
This book is designed to make the case that We the People deserve answers and all of the details behind what happened on 9/11. It is our money and children’s lives being invested in the aftermath of those events, and We deserve to know why We are paying the cost.
It’s Sunday evening and there’s another campaign weekend to sum up. (Ya’ll make sure you tell me If I missed spelt something. )
I guess we can add another name to the reluctant candidate list. I met my primary opponent on Saturday morning at the Germantown Democratic Club meeting. He told everyone there that he was working on getting his web site up. I hope he waits about two more months so that he gets all the bugs worked out of it. It needs to be perfect when he unveils it.

Here is a plea from Bush to the Saudis asking for them to increase oil output. These allies of ours that are probably the worst allies in the history of allies refuse to increase output. Why should they? It is not like all of our elected officials are not in their back pocket and refuse to open the Alaskan reserves. It is time to end our reliance on foreign oil and start digging some holes in the home of the caribou.
I cannot blame the Saudis. I would ride this gravy train as long as US elected officials refuse to allow access to US oil. We need their product and they are the only ones able to suck out enough to satisfy the American appetite for the liquid gold.

Democratic Congressional Representative Dan Boren of OK is a true leader in Congress. He cosponsors legislation that lowers the corporate tax rate to zero. Republican Representative Marsha Blackburn does not support this legislation. She, instead, supports legislation that reduces the corporate tax rate to about 20%. The current rate is about 38%
Is it not a little odd that a Democratic congressman supports the FairTax which is born out of capitalism while our Republican Marsha Blackburn supports a flat income tax that is born from socialism?
As we learned last Tuesday with Mississippi’s special election, Republicans do not own conservative thinking.
I implore Congressman Blackburn to Co-sponsor the FairTax act bill HR-25.
Marsha Blackburn tells the Republican machine that the Mississippi special election should be a wake up call to Republicans in Washington DC. Republicans are now worried about their message. Maybe they should start worrying about conservative democrats making the GOP irrelevant.
Wake up Marsha.
I am a conservative democrat running for Congress against Blackburn. I, like Dan Boren, want to take the burden of government off the backs of small businesses.

I see that Congressman Marsha Blackburn got the endorsement of the Chamber of Commerce. This is the same bunch of money hungry NAFTA - WTO - GATT - CAFTA loving America haters that will sell out our country for a dime.
U.S. Chamber of Commerce
Endorses Congressman Blackburn for Re-Election
May 14, 2008 - The United States Chamber of Commerce endorses Congressman Marsha Blackburn for re-election to Congress, praising her strong support for Tennessee businesses, both large and small.
“I’m honored to receive the endorsement from a group whose backbone is made up of entrepreneurs and small business owners,” says Blackburn. ”I’ll continue to do my best to keep taxes low and reduce government regulations for the people out there working everyday in the 7th District
No surprise here if you have been paying attention to the posts here on Marsha Blackburn and her contributions from the business lobby. Oh, thanks for the pages and pages of reduced government regulations (cafta, and the other trade agreements).
My Congressman of the 7th district of Tennessee, Marsha Blackburn, DID NOT VOTE AGAINST money for unemployment. (money for unemloyment is unconstitutional and shoud be voted NO) Why doesn’t she just vote NO if a bill has items in it that are bad or amendments (like amendment 1) that are Bad? Why does she vote “I am here, I will not take a stand, I will waste my district’s time and money”?
WASHINGTON - President Bush’s Iraq war funding request collapsed in the House Thursday as anti-war Democrats and Republicans unhappy about added domestic funding combined to kill — for now — $163 billion to support U.S. troops overseas.
The unlikely coalition formed when Republicans expected to provide the winning margin for the Iraq and Afghanistan funding instead sat out the vote in protest.
The GOP revolt was a response to Democratic strong-arm tactics in advancing the must-pass measure, as well as their efforts to add money for the unemployed and an expansion of GI education benefits.
The defeat of the Iraq funding measure came on a 149-141 tally. Nearly two-thirds of the House’s Democrats voted against continuing to fund the war as 132 Republicans sat out the vote in protest.

And they wonder why conservatives are fed up with republicans.
Back by popular demand!
The Definitive Fred Thompson, part 1 of 4.
Conservative Republicans, Fred is not your friend.
Today I will post the first of four documents that show the voting record of Fred Thompson. Fred does have a fair conservative record, but as you will see as you read these posts, he is not a Constitutional Conservative. I will not list his good conservative votes, as that is what I expected of him to do. So I will list his not-so-conservative votes and let you, the reader, decide. This first document will cover the 104th Congress, or the 2 years of Fred’s first term replacing Al Gore. The next three documents will cover his full term as Senator. The Conservative Index score for Fred Thompson is as follows:
104th Congress – 73%
105th Congress – 65%
106th Congress – 74%
107th Congress – 56%

Requiring Congressional Approval of U.S. International Trade Agreements That Amend U.S. Law, Senate Joint Resolution 5. Senator Ernest Hollings (D-SC) offered an amendment to S.J.R. 5 which would require congressional approval of any U.S. international trade agreements that amend or repeal U.S. laws. The amendment reads, in full: “No international trade agreement which would in effect amend or repeal statutory law of the United States law may be implemented by or in the United States until the agreement is approved by the Congress.” As Senator Hollings noted during consideration of the amendment, “This is constitutional language, that no international agreement that would, in effect, amend or repeal statutory law can be implemented until approved by the Congress. Under the Constitution, Article I, Section 8, it is the duty of the Congress to regulate foreign commerce – not the executive branch…” Despite the constitutional mandate, the Senate approved on March 5, 1997 a motion to table (Kill) the Hollings amendment by a vote of 84 to 16. (Congressional Record, page S1970, roll call 25). Fred Thompson voted FOR this motion to table. (Source: The New American, August 18, 1997).

Release of $582 Million in UN “Dues”. This bill would release $582 Million to the United Nations as a second of three payments to the world body for “back dues” allegedly owed by the United States. The UN – in accordance with the intent of the new world order elite – has become more aggressive in recent years in its pursuit of the powers of a world tyranny. The world body is seeking, through its International Criminal Court treaty, the power to bring any person in the world to trial. The UN is also seeking a global tax power and has proposed a global ban of private ownership of firearms. The Senate passed the bill on February 7, 2001 by a vote of 99 to 0. (Roll Call 10). Fred Thompson voted FOR this bill. (Source: The New American, July 30, 2001).

Looks like Southhaven will keep its mayor…
DeSoto County, Miss. (AP) — Tuesday, May 13, 2008, Democrat Travis Childers won a north Mississippi congressional race, claiming a seat the Republicans have held since 1994.
Cheney should have stayed home. His endorsement was like the kiss-of-death.
…Vice President Dick Cheney flew in Monday hoping to win votes for Davis.
I have to give whoever came up with the Momma Farley moniker some credit. Your creativity is to be applauded. I also appreciate that your obsession with me has made you create a character with which to worship my greatness. You guys are making this blog more fun by the day.

Tom leatherwood has finally gotten his website up and running. It looks pretty dern good! He minces no words as he takes Marsha Blackburn to task for her part in the US Congress.
I have been hearing Tom’s name being bought up a lot. There are a lot of good things to say about him apparently. I hear Marsha’s name brought up but I almost Never hear anything good to say about her. Of course, you might say, “Well Jim, you are a Liberal Democrat so folks you talk to would not ever say anything good about her.” Nope, these are comments coming from die hard republicans in east Shelby County and Fayette County.
That reminds me. There are several folks around Summerville who voted for Marsha who will not be voting for her this time. This is regrettable because I would much rather take on Marsha Blackburn’s history in Congress than Tom Leatherwood.
So with this, I ask all of authors on BCR to be really nice to Marsha. Tom has me a little scared.
I suggest Novak take a few minutes to look over Tom’s website.
What magazine does Mr. Baldwin recomend you read?
My favorite news magazine is The New American. I heartily recommend that every American read it. Here is their web site:

Last night at 11:30 pm I was approached by a truck driver who thought he was being followed by a white Ford Explorer. It seems as he got on I-240 at the 385 intersection, the Ford Explorer drove up next to him and started shooting at him. Then the vehicle pulled to the shoulder to let him pass and he thought it had followed him.
The truck driver called 911 of course, but the first operator hung up on him and he had to call back. The next operator said they would dispatch an officer.
By around 12:15, the police had still not arrived to investigate, so I called the dispatcher. She informed me that the police were on the scene, to which I informed her that there were no police in sight. In the meantime, a number of curious truckers wanted to dig out one bullet lodged in a fiberglass hood, but I explained to them that the police would want that for evidence and leave it alone.
At 12:45, there was still no police officer on the scene. So I called back and the operator explained to me that the responding officers had ended their shifts and left for the day. According to her, the officer said he responded and the gate was locked. I explained that I had a truck with a flashing strobe light parked at the gate and it was wide open. Also, neither the dozen or so truckers nor I at the gate saw any sign of the police. She said she would dispatch another officer.
At around 1:15, an officer arrived and I showed her the bullet lodged in the fiberglass which could be recovered. She took a report, but did not collect the bullet or take photographs of the damage. She departed having done her job without having to spend too much time out of her car.
The truck driver lives in Chattanooga and was anxious to get home to hug his wife and children. As for me, I can’t remember a time when I was more ashamed of my City and its police force.
