10 Month Old Lisa Irwin Still Missing in Kansas City, MO … Police Say Parents Not Cooperating, Searches End? (UPDATE: Mom Said to have Failed Lie Detector Test)

Lisa Irwin still missing … police claim that parents are no longer cooperating. Where is and what happened to 10 month old Lisa Irwin?

10 month old Lisa Irwin has been missing in Kansas City, MO since October 4, 2011; however, police are saying that the parents of the missing infant are no longer cooperating. A police spokesman, stated that Deborah Bradley and Jeremy Irwin have stopped talking to detectives, but did not provide a reason why. The police have also shut down the command post near the home of missing Lisa Irwin and have said that “had done everything possible as far as physical searches go”.

The parents of Lisa Irwin have stopped cooperating with the investigation into the 10-month-old girl’s disappearance, Kansas City police said Thursday.

Capt. Steve Young, a police spokesman, didn’t say why Deborah Bradley and Jeremy Irwin stopped talking to detectives on Thursday evening, but the development means that investigators have lost a key source of information.

“They live in the house. They intimately have information about what’s been going on. They know the child,” Young said.

A family member later issued a denial, saying the parents were continuing to assist police. She promised a statement today.

The family has denied that they have stopped coopering with police. As reported at ABC News, the family is upset with the tough tactic they are using to get information. WHAT! ARE YOU SERIOUS? RED FLAG. The mother of missing Lisa Irwin stated that the police accused her of the crime. No kidding, REALLY? states that the police  A family with a missing baby that was abducted from their home should only be concerned with find the child and the hell with how police are trying to do their job. That is unless they have something to hide? Any time a child/person goes missing from a home, of course those that live in the home are going to come under suspicion. Especially when the crime scene, the room of 10 month old Lisa Irwin, looked untouched with nothing out of place.

The parents of missing Missouri baby Lisa Irwin are upset with “tough tactics” used by the police to extract information from them about what happened to their 10-month old.

The couple was displeased with how they were treated on Thursday during a day-long interrogation. Tactics allegedly used by the police included trying to turn the parents against one another, directly accused the mother of having failed a polygraph test, and accusing her of having something to do with the disappearance of her baby girl.

The parents say they are cooperating with the investigation but a statement from the Kansas City police claims the couple “no longer want to talk to detectives.”

The family is supposed to release a statement on Friday. Let’s hope the next thing is not that the family lawyers up.

Police continued to urge anyone with any information to call police or 816-474-TIPS (8477).

UPDATE I: The mother of missing Lisa Irwin, Deborah Bradley, said to have failed a lie detector -  polygraph earlier this week.

The mother of a 10-month-old girl who disappeared from their Kansas City home says police told her she failed a lie detector test.

Twenty-five-year-old Deborah Bradley told The Associated Press Friday that she took the polygraph earlier this week after her baby, Lisa Irwin, went missing late Monday or early Tuesday.

Jonathan Silver, the Head of the Federal Loan Program Resigns Amid Solyndra Scandal

Solyndragate and Solargate meet scapegoat.

Jonathan Silver, the head of the federal loan program has resigned in the wake of the Solyndra scandal. Or as the Obama administration refers to him as, the scapegoat. Well some one had to take the fall, but this is not close to being over. Energy Secretary Steven Chu should be the next one out the door.

Hat Tip: Michelle Malkin.com (fantastic header)

The head of the Energy Department’s embattled loan program announced Thursday that he was stepping down amid an expanding probe of the agency’s $535 million loan to a now-shuttered solar company.

The departure of Jonathan Silver comes as the Obama administration faces intense pressure from Capitol Hill about whether it properly vetted the solar start-up Solyndra before providing it with taxpayer backing. President Obama used a Thursday news conference to credit agency officials with using their “best judgment” in approving the loan, part of a $35.9 billion federal effort to invest in breakthrough technologies that could create jobs and spur economic growth.

But wait, whey is any one resigning, didn’t President Barack Obama say that nothing was suspicious with the Solyndra loans and that the government bets on businesses all the time, you win some and you lose some? Of course that is easy to say when you are using other people’s money … the tax payers money.

The next question is, why is Jonathan Silver walking the plank? He was not even in place when the Solyndra deal went down and is a minor player.Barack Obama and his minions are foolish if they think that this resignation is going to make the story go away. The Obama/White House connection to Solyndra and campaign bundlers will make this story have legs.

Silver took over as head of the program after the Solyndra deal went through, so he’s not on the hook for it and he was in charge when the department killed a second $469 million loan to the same company. If he’s guilty of anything, so far as I can see, it was a foolish devotion to the gossamer promises of “green jobs”. There are plenty of people who share his misplaced faith. On the other hand, we shouldn’t applaud him too much. He held on to that second Solyndra loan to the bitter end. The only thing that kept it from going through was a report from Solyndra’s own auditors that the company was on the verge of collapse.

What’s a little scandal to add to Obama’s failed Presidency? Oh yea, then there is that ‘Fast & Furious” thing that the Obama administration is denying involvement. Who will be the next to be thrown under the Obama bus and take the fall?

She Out, but this may be a Blessing … Sarah Palin Will Not Run for President in 2012

She may not be running for President, but she is now free to speak her mind. Will she … YOU BETCHA!

Its official, former Alaska Governor and GOP Republican VP candidate, Sarah Palin will not run for President in 2012. In a statement from the Conservative radio talk show host Mark Levin’s website comes the following:

After much prayer and serious consideration, I have decided that I will not be seeking the 2012 GOP nomination for President of the United States. As always, my family comes first and obviously Todd and I put great consideration into family life before making this decision. When we serve, we devote ourselves to God, family and country. My decision maintains this order.

My decision is based upon a review of what common sense Conservatives and Independents have accomplished, especially over the last year. I believe that at this time I can be more effective in a decisive role to help elect other true public servants to office – from the nation’s governors to Congressional seats and the Presidency. We need to continue to actively and aggressively help those who will stop the “fundamental transformation” of our nation and instead seek the restoration of our greatness, our goodness and our constitutional republic based on the rule of law.

From the bottom of my heart I thank those who have supported me and defended my record throughout the years, and encouraged me to run for President. Know that by working together we can bring this country back – and as I’ve always said, one doesn’t need a title to help do it.

I will continue driving the discussion for freedom and free markets, including in the race for President where our candidates must embrace immediate action toward energy independence through domestic resource developments of conventional energy sources, along with renewables. We must reduce tax burdens and onerous regulations that kill American industry, and our candidates must always push to minimize government to strengthen the economy and allow the private sector to create jobs.

Those will be our priorities so Americans can be confident that a smaller, smarter government that is truly of the people, by the people, and for the people can better serve this most exceptional nation.

In the coming weeks I will help coordinate strategies to assist in replacing the President, re-taking the Senate, and maintaining the House.

Thank you again for all your support. Let’s unite to restore this country!

God bless America.
– Sarah Palin

I can’t say that I am that surprised. The Right Scoop has the VIDEO of the Palin announcement. I believe that Sarah Palin will have more of an impact on more political races and the Conservative movement in a capacity to support other candidates than she would as a Presidential candidate. As stated at Legal Insurrection, the MSM has savagely attacked Palin and would continue to do so fi she ran for President. However, she now has an opportunity to be a game changer in numerous races. Palin is more popular with the GOP/Conservative base than Obama is with his own. In reality, Palin just put America over her own person interests and as stated at Wake Up America, this is the best thing she could have done for the Republican party. Look for Palin, without a title, to be extremely influential and outspoken against Obama and the Democrat controlled Senate in 2012. By not running … she is free to speak her mind and will she … YOU BETCHA!

Co-Founder of Apple Steve Jobs Dead at the Age of 56

Remembering that you are going to die, is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking that you have something to lose. You are already naked, there is no reason not to follow your heart. (Steve Jobs, 2005)

Steve Jobs: 1995 – 2011 … Rest in Peace

Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple has died at the age of 56. Sadly, we knew this day was coming as Jobs battled pancreatic cancer, but we just did not want to believe it. He recently stepped down from Apple and many knew that this day was inevitable.  However, what this man did and his vision he brought forth in life … will last an eternity. What an amazing affect this man, who never graduated college, had on all of us and the world. His family said in a released statement by Apple, Mr. Jobs “died peacefully today surrounded by his family.”

Watch Steve Jobs inspiration speech for the 2005 Stanford Commencement Address

Steve Jobs talks about death, “if you live each die as if it was your last, someday you will most certainly be right”. Jobs would ask himself every day when he looked in the mirror, if today was the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” Whenever the answer was no for too many days in a row, Jobs knew he had to change something.

From the Boston Globe:

“He taught all of us how to transform technology into magic,” said John Sculley, Apple’s chief executive in the mid-1980s, and the man who once had Jobs kicked out of the company he’d co-founded.

After he was ousted, Jobs endured a decade of exile. But the experience taught him lessons that would, once he returned, help him lead Apple to unimaginable heights of achievement.

I remember my first Mac, actually it was a Macintosh, as I just dated myself. Typing away and trying to finish my senior thesis for history. I look back on that experience and am in awe just how far we have come in the PC world and just how before its time that Mac really was. Oh those days of the floppy disk.

Steve Jobs, you will be missed, Rest in Peace.

UPDATE I: From Michelle Malkin comes an interesting and appropriate analysis in the face of the anti-capitalist rallies in NYC and across the US juxtaposed to the passing of Steve Jobs. What would the world be like without the vision o Steve Jobs, are we supposed to be upset that he made money fro his visions and hard work? Not in the slightest.

10 month old Lisa Irwin has been missing in Kansas City, MO since October 4, 2011. It is believed the infant was abducted from her crib. Initially an Amber Alert was issued on Tuesday for the missing baby; however, it has since been canceled even though the search continues for missing Lisa Irwin. She was last seen at 10:30 PM  on Monday asleep in her crib at her parents’ home.  When Lisa’s father arrived home from work at around 4 AM he went into her room to check on her and discovered she was missing. The family  immediately called police. According to investigators, they saw the window and the screen appeared that it was tampered with.

Police Capt. Steve Young confirmed that a neighbor said they saw someone walking down the street at night with a baby in a diaper. He confirmed Wednesday in an interview with “Good Morning America” that although that person was reportedly seen walking down the street, the information hasn’t led to any new developments.

Lisa Irwin Description:

describing her as white with blue eyes and blond hair, about 30 inches tall with two bottom teeth, a small bug bite under her left ear and a beauty mark on her right outer thigh. Police said she had a cold with a cough and — when last seen about 10:30 p.m. Monday asleep in her crib — was wearing purple shorts and a purple shirt with white kittens on it.

Barack Obama Wants His Jobs Bill Back … Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (NV-D) Blocks Jobs Bill, Obama Blames Republicans

US Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid blocks Barack Obama’s jobs bill from a vote, but Obama says its the GOP’s fault.

Just last week President Barack Obama stated in his Weekly Address that he wanted his jobs bill back and blamed Republicans for the fact that it has not passed. However, like most of what Obama says is just not true. Yesterday Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell tried to have a vote on the Presidents jobs bill, forcing Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to block the vote.  Maybe some one may want to tell President Obama who is actually blocking his so-called jobs bill.

Senate Republicans tried to make Democrats hold a quick vote on President Obama’s jobs-stimulus bill Tuesday, but were blocked by Senate Majority Harry Reid, the Nevada Democrat who is sponsoring Mr. Obama’s bill but who said other matters take priority.

Mr. Obama has traveled the country calling for Congress to pass his plan immediately — including most recently Tuesday afternoon in Texas — but the tax increases included in his bill are opposed by Republicans and even many Democrats.

With that in mind, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Kentucky Republican, tried to force a vote, which presumably would have resulted in a humiliating defeat for the White House.

“I’d like to give him that vote,” Mr. McConnell said.

As reported at The Hill, McConnell was just trying to fulfill the request of Barack Obama by asking for a vote on the jobs bill and “to honor the request of the president of the United States that we vote on it now.” Reid blocked it an called it a political stunt. Really Senator Reid, a political stunt? Then what would you call what Obama is doing by asking for his jobs bill to be passed now, blaming the GOP to the American people and then having Democrats not support and block the vote? So who is blocking the passage of the bill?

“What I am trying to do here today by requesting this vote on the president’s jobs bill … is to honor the request of the president of the United States that we vote on it now,” McConnell said. “He has been asking us repeatedly over the last few weeks that we vote on it now.”

“I think the president of the United States, whose polices I generally do not support … is entitled to know where the Senate stands on his proposal that he has been out talking about … and suggesting that we are unwilling to vote on it,” he said.

However, that did not stop Obama from his divisive rhetoric in blaming the GOP for not passing the jobs bill. The fact of the matter is that there are many Democrats do not support the President’s bill. Let’s face it, Democrats are extremely hesitant to support anything that is purely Obama, they do not want to have to defend something else like the $787 stimulus and Obamacare in the 2012 elections.

CBS News Poll: 7 in 10 Americans Say Obama Has not Helped the Economy

The 2012 Presidential election is going to be a referendum on how well Barack Obama has done on handling the economy. The recent CBS News poll that 7 in 10 Americans say that Obama has done nothing to help the US economy should send tremors to the Obama reelection team.According to the poll, 43% of respondents say that they are disappointed with Obama and he has done less than what they expected. Even though Americans still blame GWB more for the economy, they are saying that Obama has done nothing as President to help the economy. Why would anyone give him another 4 years when he has been such an epic failure?

A new CBS News poll finds that nearly seven in 10 Americans believe President Obama has not made real progress in fixing the economy.

Sixty-nine percent say the president has not made real progress on the economy, which voters overwhelmingly cite as their most important issue. Twenty-five percent say he has made real progress.

Perceptions are not improving. The percentage who said Mr. Obama has made real progress has dropped 10 points from a survey 13 months ago, when 35 percent said he had made real progress.

Just 35 percent of Americans approve of Mr. Obama’s handling of the economy, and his approval rating on the issue has been below 40 percent since February. Fifty-three percent approve of his handling of the economy.

Interestingly enough, I guess Barack Obama is one of the near 70% who feel that he has done nothing to help the economy. In his interview with ABC News and George Stephanopoulos, Obama admitted, “Well, I don’t think they’re better off than they were four years ago (VIDEO).” Gee Thanks Barack. Coming soon to a GOP ad in 2012. What an amazing statement coming from the lips of the man where the buck stops. Of course Americans did not need Obama to tell them this … they live it every day.

Is it any wonder why Americans believe Obama will be a “one term” President.  2012 cannot come fast enough. Who feels like Obama has already been in office 10 years?
