Jeremiah Wright’s Trumpet Newsmagazine … Barack Obama … I Never Saw that Side of Wright

In politics one has to take the good and the bad. Of course one wonders how much good can come from an endorsement from political neophyte John Edwards. As most of what Edwards has done politically, the endorsement was hardly a profile in courage,

Now for the real bad. Fresh off the endorsement of the Breck Girl, John Edwards, comes this rather telling article regarding the material that the Reverend Jeremiah Wright had out to the masses. Some how an uniformed Barack Obama had no idea in 20 years that Wright was “wrong” for America. Eventually, this publication was going to come out to bite Obama on the butt and further expose him for what he really is.

Obama, mind explaining this? Oh, I never saw that side of Rev Wright in 20 years

This is a must read regarding Reverend Jeremiah Wright and the Trumpet Newsmagazine. It is a must read for all those that would think that Barack Obama is some how a candidate of change. Hardly. Obama has stated that he never saw a side of Wright that was hateful, racist or un-American. Frankly, that is impossible to believe as Rev. Wright made no effort to hide his feelings or beliefs. One would either have to be in denile or be lying that they did not know. Wright’s views were not just put forth in sermons, but videos and print.

Next the spin will be from Team Obama is that Barack really didn’t attend that many services and was really not that connected to the church.

Aruban Tourism … Right From AHATA Rob Smith’s Mouth … “Helpfulness doesn’t mean that you must take up a submissive position”

Welcome to Aruba, One Happy Island … where hospitality and being helpful is looked upon as being submissive. Aruba, how do you really feel about tourists who come to your island? A better question is, tourists … how do you feel spending your hard earned money and being looked upon as a burden? Just when you thought you have heard it all.

Ever wonder what is really wrong with Aruban tourism? If one ever wondered why such a callus attitude was taken following the disappearance of Natalee Holloway and the almost blaming of the victim and her family for the disappearance rather than holding the criminals responsible for the obvious crime that occurred. One needs to take a look at the following to understand. The following comments wins the WTF moment of the week. What a shocker that it comes from Aruba and has to do with tourism.

 … there are sufficient possibilities to move on financially as well as professionally.  The most important message of Ahata is that Arubans distinguish themselves by their hospitality and that the passion to be helpful must be stirred again.  “Helpfulness doesn’t mean that you must take up a submissive position” (Rob Smith)

Submissive position??? What??? People in Aruba think that being hospitable and helpful is being submissive??? OK, wake me because we are obviously in the twilight zone. The comments come from the head of a AHATA, Rob Smith and speak volumes of the attitude that has to exist in Aruba toward tourists. Why else would Rob Smith say it if it was not an issue by many Arubans.

(Classic Vanderbilt)

So much for the customer always being right. Aruba, a Caribbean island where 70% of their economy is based off of tourism and the head of tourism is telling the Aruban people that being friendly and nice is not submissive. In other words, its not a bad thing and that they won’t be disrespected if they are nice. WOW!!!

Missing Norwegian Dawn Cruise Ship Passenger Mindy Jordan Went Overboard was “Clowning Around”

Clowning Around or something far worse? Parents of missing Mindy Jordan state their daughter was in an abusive relationship.

Mindy Jordan has been missing since Sunday May 11, 2008 when she reportedly went overboard the Norwegian Dawn cruise ship. Search efforts were done, but to no avail. According to Jorge Caputo, Jordan’s boyfriend, Mindy Jordan was clowning around and she fell over. Clowning around?

Julie August of Mt. Laurel, N.J., tells the South Jersey Courier Post this morning that her sister, Mindy Jordan, is the missing passenger. She says she and other relatives learned of the 46-year-old nurse’s disappearance from her sister’s boyfriend and traveling companion, Jorge Caputo, who was there at the time of the incident.

“He said she was clowning around and she fell over,” August told the Courier Post, a sister paper to USA TODAY. “Who knows? We weren’t there.”

Relatives of the missing 46 year old nurse Mindy Jordan are calling for an investigation into what happened as they think something is wrong with the story and does not add up. Smell test #1: What person has their spouse/boyfriend/girlfriend go overboard and continues on the cruise to its destination as opposed to staying with the search for their missing loved one?

Clowning around or not, Jordan’s distraught relatives are calling for an investigation into the incident, which occurred just off the coast of New Jersey.

“It’s just not adding up,” August tells the Courier Post. “My sister is a professional. She’s a nurse and a mother. This is not somebody who’s going to be jumping up on a rail.”

Jordan’s mother, Louise Horton of Bordentown, N.J., expressed frustration with Jordan’s boyfriend to WPVI-TV, an ABC affiliate in Philadelphia. She told the station that when she talked to him on the ship, she asked him what he was going to do about the situation, and “he said, ‘well I guess I’m just going to have to go on to Bermuda.’ So, he’s continuing his trip as usual.”

The U.S. Coast Guard Air Station Atlantic City launched two Dolphin helicopters during the night that spent several hours searching for the missing New Jersey woman. FBI now involved in search for missing cruise passenger.

The mother of missing Mindy Jordan says that her daughter was in an abusive relationship according to CBS2.

The woman who fell to her apparent death off a cruise ship on Mother’s Day off the coast of Atlantic City was the victim of an abusive relationship, her mother told CBS 2.

Louise Horton said she saved her daughter’s voice message fearing the worst – that because of an abusive relationship, she wouldn’t come home.

“Abusive relationships don’t get better,” she told CBS 2.

“That would be totally out of character. She was 4-foot-10, weighed about 98 pounds. She wouldn’t go near a rail, this fellow beat her a couple of times,” said Andrew August, Jordan’s father.

“He was abusive and controlling,” said Horton. “She would never jump. She had two children she loved.”

UPDATE I: Woman’s fall from cruise ship caught on tape

The line issued a statement late Wednesday saying surveillance cameras on the inside and the outside of the ship caught the entire sequence of events leading up to and following the deadly fall of Mindy Jordan, 46, of Pine Hill, N.J., and the line offered a minute-by-minute synopsis of what occurred. 

The details are likely to end growing speculation that foul play was involved in the incident Sunday aboard the Norwegian Dawn, which has drawn national attention in the media. Jordan’s family has fueled the flames of the speculation the past three days by publically criticizing Jordan’s boyfriend and traveling companion, Jorge Caputo, who was with her on the ship.

UPDATE II: Report of video of woman’s fall doesn’t satisfy mother

NYC Man Sues JetBlue for being Forced to Sit on Toilet Seat During Flight

On JetBlue … Flying by the seat of your pants.

It appears on JetBlue a “buddy pass” get your a seat on one of their airplane. However, that seat may just be in the plane’s bathroom. Gokhan Mutlu of Manhattan, NY is suing Jet Blue claiming that the airlines forced him to sit on the restroom toilet seat for part of his flight between New York and San Diego, CA. According to Mutlu in court papers he was told by the pilot, “he was the pilot, that this was his plane, under his command that (Mutlu) should be grateful for being on board,”

A New York City man is suing JetBlue Airways Corp. for more than $2 million because he says a pilot made him give up his seat to a flight attendant and sit on the toilet for more than three hours on a flight from California.

Gokhan Mutlu, of Manhattan’s Inwood section, says in court papers the pilot told him to “go ‘hang out’ in the bathroom” about 90 minutes into the San Diego to New York flight because the flight attendant complained that the “jump seat” she was assigned was uncomfortable, the lawsuit said.

Mutlu was traveling on a a “buddy pass,” a standby travel voucher that JetBlue employees give to friends, from New York to San Diego on Feb. 16, and returned to New York on Feb. 23, the lawsuit said.

Look at the bright side, at least the man did not have to wait for the captain to turn the seat belt sign off before he could get up and go to the bathroom. Oh please, who wears the seat belt in the first place? Who really waits for the light to go on before they unhook it?

Mutlu’s lawsuit, filed Friday in Manhattan’s state Supreme Court, says JetBlue negligently endangered him by not providing him with a seat with a safety belt or harness, in violation of federal law.

Ex-manager Mike Gilbert Claims OJ Simpson Confessed to Killing his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson

Here is the latest in the O. J. Simpson saga. Was it a real confession or someone looking to profit on the misfortune of others? Mike Gilbert, a memorabilia dealer claims in his book, “How I Helped O.J. Get Away With Murder: The Shocking Inside Story of Violence, Loyalty, Regret and Remorse,” that OJ Simpson confessed to killing his ex-wife after he was acquitted.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - A memorabilia dealer who profited from O.J. Simpson for many years is the latest former crony to write a tell-all book, this one alleging a groggy Simpson, high on marijuana, confessed to killing his ex-wife after he was acquitted.

In a soft mumble, Simpson told him: “If she hadn’t opened that door with a knife in her hand … she’d still be alive.”

“Nothing more needed to be said,” Gilbert writes. “O.J. had confessed to me. There’s no doubt in my mind.”

 OJ Simpson’s attorney Yale Galanter stated that Gilbert is “a delusional drug addict who needs money. He’s fallen on very hard times. He is in trouble with the IRS.”

How many years later after this terrible murder and and even worse acquittal and we are still presented with the “ICK” factor from the case. True or false, who knows. However, one thing is for certain … water seeks its own level and the people that OJ hung with back then and after speak volumes of the man.

Talk about a Senior Moment: Barack Obama Wants to be President of All 57 States

With Obama its all about CHANGE … including the number of States in the US.

Who knew there were actually 60 states in the USA. No wonder Barack Obama is worried that Hillary Clinton may still be in the race for the Democratic nomination. Read all about Obama’s new math …

FYI Obama, there are 50 stars on the US Flag to represent the number of States that make up America. Like on the US Flag raised above at Ground Zero in NYC after 9–11.

Democratic Presidential soon to be nominee Barack Obama wants to be President of all 57 States of the US. 57??? That’s correct, straight from the horses mouth. Folks, tired or not … a person running for President should know at all times just how many states make up the territory that they would be governing. Is Barack Obama getting senile?

“It is wonderful to be back in Oregon,” Obama said. “Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go. Alaska and Hawaii, I was not allowed to go to even though I really wanted to visit, but my staff would not justify it.”

Marc Ambinder reminds us of the obvious when it comes to the bias main stream liberal media. If John McCain had ever had a gaffe like this “the media would be all up in his grill, accusing him of a senior moment”. If is was a Republican that made such a gaffe, the MSM would be raising hell as to their incompetence, their age, are they up for the task, and on and on and on. Maybe some one needs to ask Obama how to spell POTATO.

Stop the ACLU does the Barack Obama new math of the number of states in the US. In Obama’s world there are actually 60 states, 57+1+2.

How many states are there? Well, ummm…we’ve been to 57 with one left to go, then subtract Hawaii and Alaska…ummmm…. Unbelievable!

Little did Obama know that after his 57 state comment that new flag pins would be made. No matter, he wouldn’t wear them anyhow. Maybe if he did wear a flag pin he could actually remember just how many states make up America. Obama, who is losing their bearings?

• Red State: Oh, Barry. Are we *tired*? [Now with a MAP.]
• Classic Values: How Many States?

WTF … Three Teenagers Accused of Using a Human Skull to Smoke Pot

My how times have changes. In the 80’s we had the movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High where Jeff Spiccoli hits his head with a sneaker while talking on the phone and asks, “What’s that sound”? His reply, “its my skull, I’m so wasted”. In 2008 we have three kids using an actual skull to smoke pot. What has our society come to? Think smoke marijuana is not dangerous? Think again.

Can we just lock these kids up and throw away the key and save our society a lifetime of future crimes, PLEASE!!! Three teenagers have been arrested for digging up a body, decapitating its head and using the skull to smoke pot. The story was so outlandish that the police could hardly believe it was true.

The Kingwood teenager’s story of decapitating a corpse and using the head to smoke marijuana was so outlandish that at first Houston Police Department senior police officer Jim Adkins did not believe it.

Yet, Kevin Wade Jones Jr., 17, appeared almost indifferent as he relayed the bizarre description of his and two friends’ activities at an Humble area graveyard, Adkins said.

Obviously, stuff like this on the net was their inspiration.

“I just doubted it because it’s very morbid, and I couldn’t see anybody doing something like this,” Adkins said Thursday.

Guadalupe Gutierrez-Juarez, a Suspected Illegal Immigrant Arrested for Rape of 10 year Old, Girl Gives Birth

Guadalupe Gutierrez-Juarez was arrested for the rape of a 10 year old girl in Idaho where she subsequently gave birth.  Guadalupe Gutierrez-Juarez is suspected as being an illegal immigrant. Proponents of illegal immigration say that illegals are just doing the jobs that Americans do not want to do. What, like raping and impregnating 10 year old girls?

A 37-year-old man is charged with raping a 10-year-old girl who gave birth last month in Idaho.

“St. Anthony Police said they were notified of the young girl’s pregnancy by medical personnel after she went in for treatment at a doctor’s office,” KIFI-TV reports on its website.

One day later, the ABC affiliate says the young mother delivered a 6-pound girl at Madison Memorial Hospital in Rexburg, Idaho.

KIDK-TV says Guadalupe Gutierrez-Juarez, a suspected illegal immigrant, is being held at the Fremont County Jail. He’s due in court next week to face rape charges.

“I wouldn’t have believed a 10-year-old could conceive in the first place,” Fremont County Sheriff Ralph Davis tells the Associated Press.

Listen to Dana Pretzer’s comments on this heinous case.

Girl was 9-Years-Old When She Got Pregnant

Here’s a headline from 2 News.tv, KBCI,  10-year-old gives birth; allegedly raped. ALLEGEDLY!!! Do we think that some how a 9 year old had consensual sex with this man!!! Let us not forget the fact that this predator was an illegal immigrant as well. This country has enough problems with our own child predators, than to allow ones to sneak across the border.

In documents that were filed April 29 in 7th District Court and obtained by The Associated Press, Gutierrez-Juarez is charged with one count of rape. He remained in jail with bail set at $250,000 pending a preliminary hearing May 13.

Authorities said Gutierrez-Juarez did not have legal documentation to live in the United States. His home town and nationality were not immediately clear, but police said they had received no complaints about him before investigating the pregnancy.

The investigation was continuing. Smith would not give details on the condition of the girl but said additional counts of rape could be filed.

Code Pink to use Witchcraft Against Marines: Code Pink, the Few, the Loud, the Witches

Once again we have liberals protesting the very people who protect and defend their rights to act like fools. Does anyone think that the Taliban or Al Qaeda would ever allow Code Pink to exist?

Wonder if Code Pink will use witchcraft against the Taliban seen here beating women in Kabul. Click on pic for actual footage.

Could there ever be two sets of organizations that have been more different? In one corner we have the brave men and women of the Marines: The Few, the Proud … The Marines. In the other we have Code Pink, the Few, the Loud, the Moonbats. As if the rantings of Code Pink are not enough, now they are resorting to witchcraft to put a spell on the Marine recruiting office they have been demonstrating at in Berkeley, CA. As Michelle Malkin interjects, The Witchy women of Code Pink, want fellow moonbats to howl at the moon. Marines or Moonbats, which side do you take?

Code Pink is now resorting to witchcraft to beef up the number of its supporters protesting Berkeley’s controversial Marine Corps Recruiting Center.

The women’s anti-war group has told ralliers to come equipped with spells and pointy hats Friday for “Witches, clowns and sirens day,” the last of the group’s weeklong homage to Mother’s Day.

“Women are coming to cast spells and do rituals and to impart wisdom to figure out how we’re going to end war,” Zanne Sam Joi of Bay Area Code Pink told FOXNews.com.

The group’s week of themed protests, which included days to galvanize grannies and bring-your-daughter-to-protest, appears to have done little to boost its flagging numbers. (FOX News)

Watch Moonbat Protest Cam, Live steaming

From the actual Code Pink website …

“Friday, May 9th: Witches, Crones, Sirens: perform rituals of leaving, cast a spell of peace and love over the station, rendering nil the recruiting of our youth to become fodder for this occupation of Iraq.”

Alrighty then, break out the straight jackets and prepare the rubber rooms, which way to the looney bin.
