Tim Russert died today of an apparent heart attack. I was told the news from a friend of mine who leans liberal while we were hanging out, & I said; well.. Tim was one of the people in the media these days who I give credit to for not being afraid to ask the honest, tough questions. My friend looked down at his laptop & said to me that “that’s is exactly what they wrote about him here”.
I wasn’t surprised, because it is definitely true. We may not have agreed on everything, but I think it’s safe to say that America lost a great news anchor, & he will be missed dearly.
My thoughts & prayers go out to Tim’s family & colleagues during this difficult time.
It’s all right here in his own words.. He wants to play “lets make a deal” with lying terror sponsoring nations, & then disarm us.. What a genius.. Watch the video, & then vote accordingly.
Obama’s racist anti-semitic friends would like to see this country disarmed too.. Coincidence? Watch Obama the stutterer futilely try to explain away all his racist/radical associations.
What you will see in the video below is a very powerful assembly of facts.
The victims of 9/11 had no trial, no judge, no lawyers. Yet they were instantly executed by incineration, falling from the trade towers (or being forced to jump), or being blown to little pieces by some of the very terrorists who await military trial at the Guantanamo Bay detention center. Despite those hard facts, Our liberal friends on the supreme court have just given foreign terrorists rights that I can guarantee that you would not have in THEIR native countries. If you were suspected of terror in some of these middle eastern countries you would not even make it to jail before your head was rolling around without you in some dark alley or slaughter house. They have also given them rights that they do not deserve by any stretch of the imagination. They are NOT US citizens, & do not have rights under our constitution, no matter what these moronic so-called “justices” have done.
Now, our supreme court as a whole has betrayed the victims of 9/11, their families, our nation, & completely failed the United States citizens who entrusted them with protecting US & OUR RIGHTS, instead of giving those rights over to foreign enemy combatants.
In a despicable act of omission most major media outlets have whitewashed the story leaving out justice Anthony Scalia’s ominous prediction & statement: Scalia: “The Nation will live to regret what the Court has done today. I dissent.”
What highest court has done, is it has forgotten the lessons of 9/11. Sadly, what it will probably take is for the idiots who we’ve allowed into our court system & government to see thousands more of our citizens murdered in another large scale terror attack. Even then, they may be too far gone to learn any object lesson at this point.
Scalia also said the following in his dissenting opinion:
“The game of bait-and-switch that today’s opinion plays upon the Nation’s Commander in Chief will make the war harder on us. It will almost certainly cause more Americans to be killed.”
Your nation’s sovereignty is being hauled off in tiny bits like ants stealing from a picnic, & most of America is oblivious to it happening. This is a very sad day for what was once a great & sovereign country, but is now being eroded to mediocrity by Liberals with no courage. The ACLU have become like legalized domestic terrorists, & are destroying this country from within, & the general population is letting them do it by continuing to vote for liberals like them. Someday fairly soon, they will all see how deceived they’ve been, but it will be too late. The only way out then, will be another civil war, as this nation’s legal system is now being stolen out from under its own citizens by insane & corrupt liberals who’s educational qualifications far, FAR outweigh their moral integrity. Problem is, most Americans have become too passive & spoiled, & would not appear to have the stomach to fight against a rogue Government. We as a nation have let the enemies of mankind infiltrate several of our most critical systems of government, & now we will all have to pay for it dearly. We are beginning to see the fruits of Liberal Labor against their own country in the gas prices we are paying now. If you think this is bad, Just wait until liberals sell us out to the whims of muslim nations who control most of the oil. Remember, it is liberals who are keeping us from drilling for our own on our own soil.
We are certainly a nation that has regressed in the name of “progress” & become lost. May God help us, as only he can.

Tonight I watched the Democratic National committee stand there & flat out lie to the American people about what THEY can do for this country, & what Bush hasn’t done. The truth is they have had control of most of this country’s power for two years now, with their control of the US Congress, & they’ve gotten less done than any congress in history. They have the lowest approval rating of any Congress in history. They have the nerve say that “On Bush’s watch” this, & on Bush’s watch that, when they are the ones who had the opportunity to change things, & they completely squandered it.
How we let morally corrupt trash like Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid & Howard Dean become leaders in this once great nation, is beyond reason. They lie constantly & do it with absolutely no remorse or conscience.
They have the gall to blame the Gas Prices on Bush, when they were the ones proposing more taxes on companies that bring us our energy, thus eventually driving up the prices even more. Their party is the party that keeps us from drilling for our own oil & natural gas resources on OUR OWN SOIL.
I really don’t know what to say to my fellow Americans other than you’d better get your head out of your XBox, Sex in the City, & whatever else is distracting you from caring about what kind of corruption is occurring in the Government of the United States. These people are intentionally destroying the sovereignty of this nation because they believe in selling out to our enemies for a quick political payoff. Most Democrats do not fear God, because they don’t believe in him in the first place, so why would they have a problem with lying? They don’t believe that they will face eternal consequences for their actions, so what do these old farts like Pelosi & Reid care if they destroy the nation? The way they see it is when they’re dead they’re dead, so they might as well get all they can while they are alive.
It is critical that we take out the trash in the next 8-12 years, starting with most of the Democratic Party. As I said, I have never in all my life seen more people in a position of such power who are so willing to flat out lie to our faces for personal & political power & gain. Remember, one of the biggest problems facing this nation today is an energy crisis, & these people have the nerve to point the finger at others after 2 years of controlling the congress & doing almost nothing.
There is one comfort I have in all of this, & that is that I know that those who lie & cheat without conscience will face the wrath of God when he returns. That includes people like Howard Dean who’s viral lying words about President George Bush go far beyond constructive criticism.
Then there’s that complete scumbag Senator Debbie Stabow who has the nerve to blame Bush’s economic policies for her democratic tax & spend government’s failures in Michigan. Democrats have run Michigan into the ground, & this psychopath had the nerve to get up on CSpan & blame Bush. Bush is to blame for everything if you’re a Democrat. A manhole transformer explosion can occur in Moscow, & the Democrats will say that’s Bush’s fault too. These people are less insane than they are just plan evil, but they are a some of both.
My fellow Americans, I hate to be the one to tell you this, but you have turned your government over to one of the most vile broods of viper in all history, & they want to put a closet Muslim Extremist sympathizer in office to further undermine our sovereignty, & submit to like minded liberal,fascist,communist,socialist governments around the world. If we don’t begin to take out the garbage soon, you will be living under a tyranny that will be painful to remove.. It’s critical to your future & the future of your children that you remove this tumor that is growing on our nation.
After I watched the horrid drivel coming from the DNC, the idiots (like Mike German) from the ACLU had their turn spewing their hypocrisy & rhetoric (since they are are a front for the Democrats) on privacy & surveillance.
They sadly & pathetically try to use the abuse perpetrated by ONE police officer using an infrared camera to spot a couple making out on a roof, as proof that “Bush’s” surveillance policies have violated the privacy of the American people. Yet I’ve worked for Democrats at a college they run, & they monitor people’s phone calls, confiscate the hard drives & IM Logs of any employee that’s quit or been fired, & regularly try to brainwash employees about global warming & a host of other social issues that have nothing to do with their Job requirements.
In short, Democrats are largely vile & despicable lying hypocrites, & the way you can tell if they are lying to you, is if they are communicating to you in any way whatsoever, be it speech, writing, or hand signs. Turn this country over to these people, & we will be doomed to more than listening to the Liberal employees at Starbucks trying to force us to say “Grande”, “Venti”, & “Tall”, instead of speaking english in the United States. We will be doomed to bowing to the whims of the democratic party & whatever terms they have made with the devil while selling out our country to terrorists & their sympathizers.
My message to my fellow countrymen & women is to wake up & see what evil is creeping up on you. They want to tell you what size car to drive, take away your guns, & tell you that you can’t have bibles or prayer in public schools, yet they speak out the other side of their mouths about their concerns of over liberty & Government surveillance. These people are lying scum, & the Democratic party as it currently exists, must be defeated & destroyed, period. It has lost it’s moral compass, & besides it’s advocation of murdering babies & pushing the gay agenda on the American people, & blatantly lying to the public about phantom environmental concerns like “Global Warming” it’s list of moral atrocities grow exponentially every year. They have infiltrated & completely taken over the news media & educational system so that they can control the information the American people receive, & they regularly attack any media outlet with whom they either don’t agree, or who tries to present anything other than a liberal view. Liberals these days only believe in their own liberty. If you want proof, watch C-Span. It really should be call “C-Spam” (for cerebral spam), but that would be too much honesty for a liberal network to handle.
Oh. one more thing.. I wonder if it’s any coincidence that there was a man in some hardcore Muslim garb sitting in the CSPAN audience & listening intently to Mike German from the ACLU? Talk about surveillance…
I missed writing for a couple weeks, but I really needed a break from serious subject matter for a bit. I’m not as prolific a writer as some others, & I really do it more out of duty to my country, than because it’s my first love.
Don’t get me wrong, I like to write, but I couldn’t say it’s the thing that’s closest to my heart.
Anyway I’m back, & ready to tackle some important issues! Coming soon!
*Update* 5/16/08 Katherine’s rings were recovered, & will be returned to the Armstrong family. A nice answer to prayer, & great police work by the Atlanta Police. Best Wishes to the Armstrong Family in this difficult time..

This is an update to this story last week about a mother who died in a car crash, & then had her wedding rings stolen from her at the Hospital.
ATLANTA — A social worker accused of stealing wedding and engagement rings from a woman who died at Grady Memorial Hospital surrendered to police Thursday.
Tacoma Jawara, 54, was charged with stealing the rings that belonged to 35-year-old Katherine Armstrong who died in the emergency room after a crash on I-85 near Flat Shoals Road. Full Story Here
At the first link I gave you above, there’s info to contact the hospital where this occured. Please take the time to thank them for doing their part in the investigation.
To the Armstrong family: We at the Dan Lee Report are very sorry for your loss, & our thoughts & prayers are certainly with you. Please know that you are never alone, & We sincerely hope that the arrest will lead to the property that was stolen from you.
Barack, Barack, Barack… I thought you were smarter than this.. First you get caught with your hand in Domestic Terrorist William Ayers’ cookie jar, & now you’ve got your cronies making back room deals with the Hamas devils?
It’s all too easy.. I think I know what the Clintons are holding out for now..
On CNN there is a story that more than supports Clinton’s claim that white working class people are still behind her. Pre-Barack Obama, every democrat from here on earth to the ones flying around the moon would be echoing any sentiment she or the used to be “first black President Bill Clinton” conveyed, but now? See for yourself.
Clinton has got a whopping 43-point advantage over Obama in West Viginia, 66 percent to 23 percent, according to a new survey from the American Research Group. In short, he’s getting his ass handed to him in a trash bag, like he did to her in NC. But You know this has to worry the Democratic base a bit about how he’ll do come the General Election.
Anyway, this is how an Obama supporter summed it up. This is a great way to rally the troops in West Virginia for the GE if Obama does win huh?
Michele, WV May 9th, 2008 2:53 pm ET
I’m from WV and I’m voting for Obama!!! This isn’t news!! All the rednecks that live here would die before voting for a black man!!!!! You should see some of the looks I get wearing an Obama shirt!!!!!! YES I SAID IT BECAUSE ITS TRUE..not all..but most…they know who they are…GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!
Gotta love those fair weather fans of the ever so white Hillary Rodham Clinton dontchya? I mean you know if Barack was leading she’d be sportin’ like this: “Hillary! Hillary! Hillary! Watchin’ out for the black folk! Go Hillary!!”
Amazing how Democrats who were behind Bill Hillary lockstep for years & years have now completely abandoned them for who they now perceive to be the “Winning Team.”
Now suddenly anyone who votes for that white Democrat lady, MUST BE a white redneck by default.. No racism or profiling in that statement though huh?
I don’t know why this surprises me at all. There’s no honor among thieves.. (Democrats steal from those evil rich people, & give to those poor downtrodden folks that are stuck home watching 17 illegitimate children, & Jerry Springer.)
It does prove one thing though. Hillary’s sure got them scared! I think she’s “Wright” to stay in the race with numbers like this in WV, “Ayergo” Obama fan’s fear & nasty stereotypical comments..
By the way, some of the reason women have turned on Hillary is that Barack is going all GQ on us & it’s working apparently on some of these fawning media hoochies ..
Former President Jimmy Carter said Wednesday that delegates from Florida and Michigan should not be counted at the Democratic National Convention because they “disqualified themselves,” and he warned of a disaster if party insiders try to wrest the nomination from the candidate with the largest number of votes and state victories. Full Story Here
One question for Mr. Carter, Did the voters disqualify themselves? Or did the morons at the top of your Democratic party do it? Yes, we all know it was the latter, & the voters got the shaft Jimmy boy!
Well Charlie Brown had “The Great Pumpkin” to ooh & aah at, & Now Obama has “The Great Peanut” in his court.. That’s just ducky..
Only problem is, I don’t think anyone gives a rats ass what Jimmy Carter says after his little date with Hamas, which predictably yielded 0 results..
The fact that he’s on Jay Leno getting all vocal about it tells me that he’s horrified that the right thing might actually be done here with a re-vote.
A local father, already mourning the loss of his 35-year-old wife, is now dealing with the fact his wife’s engagement and wedding rings were lost at the hospital. Full Story Here
You know, if this isn’t the kind of story that makes you want to put your fist through your laptop/computer or TV? I don’t know what would be… It’s not bad enough her 1 year old child will only have pictures to remember her by, but then they lose her wedding rings?
Doesn’t the family of an accident victim have enough pain & grief to deal with, without this kind of negligence or larceny being perpetrated against them?
The hospital should launch a full fledged investigation of it’s own, as well as whatever the police do. I understand accidental loss of property happens, but I have a funny gut feeling there’s maybe more to this than that. In any case, the Hospital should spend as much money as needed to find out. Not because It’s necessarily their fault, but just because it’s the right thing to do in this case.
Here is a contact number for the hospital to let them know how YOUfeel. Please be courteous, & keep in mind that they have at least promised her husband a thorough investigation:
Media Relations (404) 616-4360
I have to tell you peeps, the Clinton’s will DO ANYTHING it takes, & suing to get these delegates seated is NOT beyond the scope of the “anything” of which I speak!
The Malkinator feels it “may” be over for the Hillster, & we rarely disagree, but I think I smell some shenanigans a comin’! It’s Defcon 2 for the Democratic Party, & the nuclear suitcase is on it’s way over to the Clinton’s campaign HQ.. ~Dan Lee
While I’m obviously no fan of Clinton, It’s really kind of sickening to watch Obama/Media Lovefest shamelessly continue, despite the fact that in the end we all know that the Super Delagates/Pontiffs in so called “Democratic Party” will decide who gets the nomination. Additionally it’s hilarious to watch the MSM scramble to counter the obvious success of Rush Limbaugh’s “Operation Chaos.”
All over the news this morning we see headlines like this one on CNN’s main page:
Analysis: Obama gains, can Clinton rebound?
Barack Obama has taken a major step toward securing the Democratic presidential nomination. Not only did he score a convincing win in North Carolina; but the close race in Indiana made Hillary Clinton’s difficult path to the nomination even more challenging.
NEW YORK (CNN) – Barack Obama took a major step Tuesday toward securing the Democratic presidential nomination. Not only did he score a convincing victory in North Carolina; but by drawing to a virtual tie in Indiana he made an already difficult path for Hillary Clinton to the presidential nomination significantly more challenging.
Msnbc.com:
NBC’s Russert: Obama has the nomination
In the wake of the North Carolina and Indiana primaries, Tim Russert, moderator of “Meet the Press,” tells TODAY’s Matt Lauer that “we now know who the Democratic nominee is going to be and nobody is going to dispute it.”
Addtional headline from MSNBC/NYT: Options dwindling for Clinton
Even a split of Indiana and North Carolina primaries was not a draw.
Despite narrowly winning Indiana, while losing North Carolina, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton did not fundamentally improve her chances of securing the Democratic presidential nomination. If anything, Mrs. Clinton’s hopes for overtaking Senator Barack Obama dwindled further on Tuesday night….
If you look just about anywhere in the Main Stream Media today, stories of inevitable doom for Hillary Rodham Clinton abound!
Ok, but here’s the thing.. She could still win by the numbers!
Obama is a house of cards, & the winds of “Change” are blowing in HIS direction this time.
Meanwhile the William Ayers association picks up steam, with or without the help of the biased Main Stream Media Bowling club.. Eventually they’ll have to expose him, because if they don’t, bloggers will. The only difference between the MSM & bloggers these days, is we are better at bringing the truth to the people than the MSM. We & the geniuses in Conservative talk radio are their greatest competition, & they know it. So, the truth about Obama’s associations WILL eventually be forced out.
You gotta love the irony.. Mainstream Media who used to faithfully Bowl for the Clintons, now bowling for Obama, but eventually scoring a gutter ball just when it counts the most.. It’s coming, & you read it first here!
He “may” get the nomination, but there’s no way people will forgive his anti-U.S. associations in the end.
We’ve all heard the horror stories. The worst & most embarrassing one I’ve ever seen was this DEA agent doing a Gun safety class in front of adolescent School Children. He makes a HORRIFIC misjudgment in handling a weapon that has a full clip in it, & especially in the presence of children.
The Result? He was lucky. He only shoots himself in the thigh, & the bullet stays there & thank God does not further injure him or the children & other adults in the class.
Watch the video below, & how the children unfortunately used better judgment than the officer who partially tried to save face in the situation. He misguidedly tries to keep from alarming the kids further by picking up a rifle, & trying to foolishly go on with the presentation. The kids tell him to put it down! Good call kids!
Do I feel bad for him? Yes of course I do. However he broke several important rules that are absolutely not to be broken in regard to gun safety. I think unfortunately he got a little too caught up in his dramatic approach to gun safety, & forgot about the gun safety part in the process.
1. On the video, he stated himself that “This is an unloaded weapon. This is an empty weapon.”
he then goes & gets gets a “nothing in my hat, nothing up my sleeve” type confirmation from an assistant asking if it’s an empty weapon, the assistant concurs, but probably only looks in the chamber. The officer does NOT clear the weapon himself by ejecting the magazine, as well as looking into the chamber. As a result, when he locks the slide back, & then releases it, he unwittingly cycles a live round from the magazine into the chamber. Again, He did not treat the gun as loaded, & check both the magazine & chamber himself before handling it.
2. He’s handling a Glock 40 cal, (likely a model 22 or 23 with no thumb safety lever) & not the best weapon to bring into a classroom or demonstration.
3. There should have been no ammunition present in any weapon on his person, or he planned to un-holster for any demonstration. Any weapon he planned to demonstrate with, should have been void of a magazine & had the slide locked back at all times, or disabled with the firing pin completely removed, & devoid of a magazine or ammunition. It would also have been handled very minimally, & placed on a table with the muzzle in the most currently safe direction.
4. Though he eventually points the gun down to possibly put it away (not sure), somehow he gets his finger on the trigger, or gets the trigger hung on something. The gun discharges, & he’s hit in the thigh with what is mostly likely a very damaging hollow point bullet. Hollow point bullets are designed to inflict the maximum damage, without exiting the intended target & possibly injuring an innocent bystander. Also notice that in the commotion, his female assistant hands him the rifle at one point, & has the muzzle pointed at the man standing against the wall!
Now, I believe this officer in his heart of hearts truly wanted to teach Gun safety to these children this day, & had nothing but good intentions for being there. Unfortunately he ended up giving an even better example than was necessary, or safe, by forgetting some of his own training.
I recently took my Handgun Safety course with The Academy for Self Protection in Joelton Tennessee. My instructor was Rob Corcoran. Rob is a former USAF Combat Arms Instructor and Security Police Officer. Rob currently teaches all Handgun Carry classes for A.S.P. He is an NRA certified Pistol Instructor and a Tennessee State certified Pistol Instructor.
Rob’s training skills were very clearly & well defined throughout the 8 hour course. During the training, He always got us to the point of the matters at hand, while at the same time keeping things light enough with a perfect balance of humor, gun trivia, & mechanical composition, without being too distracting from the serious nature of gun safety as a whole. He warned us ahead of time, that if he repeated something several times, it was probably going to be both highly important, & also on the written exam, or part of our firing range test. He covered everything from good/bad gun handling practices, to good/bad guns & ammunition by themselves, & the types that we may encounter in the real world.
Rob’s approach was not only to make sure that we knew how to fire a gun safely, but also that once the bullet left the barrel, there are potentially serious consequences, both legally & morally. His course also covered tips on being a more controlled shooter, which is also important to safety, & limiting your targets to only intended ones.
While my impression on his feelings about handguns was that he’s clearly an enthusiast, I felt that he made it glaringly obvious that a gun is not like a golf club or ball. When you go to the range with a gun & make a mistake, it could mean more than someone getting a concussion from a golf club that’s slipped out of your hand, or a wayward ball. It could mean instant death for you or an innocent bystander, or lives changed forever, & he made that responsibility very clear in his course, by covering Tennessee law on the use of firearms for self defense.
After having completed this course, I can tell you that as soon as he saw someone holding a weapon up with the magazine still in it like in the video above? He would have said: ” Clear that weapon immediately by removing the magazine, & I don’t want any ammunition in this classroom. Period”
He has signs in the classroom to remind everyone.
If you’re thinking about taking a handgun safety course in the middle Tennessee area, I highly recommend Rob & his Academy of Self Protection. I don’t see how the course could have been any better to be honest. After taking it, I’m only reasonably confident that I’ll never have an accident. I say “reasonably”, because one of the sentiments Rob was able to get across was to “never get cocky or overconfident handling a firearm.” The gun is always loaded, period. No exceptions.
Today, the Houston Chronicle reports that the Houston PD shot a man who’s friends & family say is a CIA officer, after a high speed pursuit. The CIA claims he doesn’t work for them.
The story is scary because if he wasn’t a CIA officer, how did he convince so many people? If he was? Why didn’t Police recognize his credentials?
Also, why did he run & then reach under the seat ignoring police commands? How did the police miss THREE weapons in the car at the scene, & then mysteriously find them behind closed doors at an impound yard, including a shotgun on the floor in front of the back seat? It may be legit, but it certainly raises eyebrows.
