Pregnant At Twelve and Missing

"They're nice respectful children, and their parents seem good"

That is what a neighbor of a family, now gone missing in North Carolina, that includes a 12 year old pregnant girl, her 11 year old sister and their adoptive father says.

Just when I think I have seen or heard it all something like this comes along that leaves me sitting bewildered at the human condition. I guess what got me the most was how most people in this interview, including the reporter seemed to gloss over the pregnant 12 year old. Sure the reporter mentions that there might be some health issues. 'Ya think?


Maybe another reason Roman Polanski is fighting extradition.

Why is Hillary Passing on North Carolina?

Why is Hillary giving up on North Carolina? It would seem to me that somebody that is trying to make the case that she is electable would want to head to NC and try to blunt any further gains that would be made by Obama. The most common reason given is because of the percentage of voters who are black. Those pearls of wisdom are coming from Democratic strategists. So is it written in stone that if your skin color is dark that you are required by law or some sort of primal instinct to vote for the candidate who most looks like you? Who is playing the race card now?

Even if Hillary can't win, which isn't totally out of the question, and may even point to further disconnect between the elite Dems and the more common folks in this country, why doesn't she at least show up to put up a fight? Isn't she accusing Barack of not being able to handle the heat? It seems to be poor way to drive this point home by cutting and running, but of course this seems to be the only thing the Dems are good at in all matters except trying to seize the power of the White House. It is just another contradiction in a long list of contradictions relating to the Dems. Cut and run in Iraq, bomb the snot out of Iran or invade Pakistan, and refuse to give up on a campaign that pundits are saying is lost.

If she really felt this fight is not over why isn't she fighting then to derail the Obama train?

Sometimes there is just no figuring out the liberal mind. Of course she is also of the mindset that the presidency is "owed" to her and therefore may even harbor dreams that if she can just get this thing to the convention they will hand it to her. Of course if it goes that far and they do give the nod to her, Denver will probably be burning for days.

Meanwhile the people of NC have every right to feel snubbed and I hope come general election time they will remember this and vote for McCain.

National Heroes Tour at Ft Bragg, NC

The National Heroes Tour made one of its' last stops last night at Ft Bragg, NC, home of the 82nd Airborne and the Special Forces Command, and a very appropriate stop for these heroes. Monday and Tuesday they will in Washington DC to show their support of Gen Petraeus along with members of the Gathering of Eagles, Move America Forward, Vets For Freedom and Vets for Victory.
Here courtesy of Jim Hanson, Uncle Jimbo from Blackfive is the video of that stop.


I know this is a rather lengthy video, 50 minutes in duration, so if you don't want to watch the whole thing fine, it is your loss. You absolutely must set aside time to watch these folks and listen to their stories, but at a very minimum go to the 45 minute mark and listen to LTC Steven Russell sum it up.
I heard one comment about the low turnout again! To me that has been the big national disgrace associated with this tour. Why they are not talking to filled stadiums is beyond me and it is causing me to reconsider where our country is when these heroes can not draw larger crowds then they do and the total lack of any sort of national press coverage this tour has garnered. Maybe David Bellavia has it right, if only somebody on the tour had won 5 golf tournaments in a row like Tiger Woods they would be getting more attention.
