NPR Interview with Ronald Kessler, chief Washington correspondent for NewsMax.com and author of The Terrorist Watch: Inside the Desperate Race to Stop the Next Attack

"A powerful and brave book. Kessler makes it clear that if we win this war, it will be because of the FBI and CIA professionals who have protected America since 9/11. If we lose the war, it will be because of distortions by the mainstream media, those who leak operational secrets to them, and politicians who undermine those who are trying to protect us."

—R. James Woolsey,
former director of Central Intelligence

When you view this clip you'll get a good feel for what happens to an aircraft when it hits a concrete wall. Many of you have heard Michael Moore, Martin Sheen, Rosie O'Donnell and others ask the question: 'If it's true that a Boeing airliner hit the

Pentagon, what happened to all the parts of it? Why did we not find more pieces of it? Where did all that mass GO?'

Well, for those who question what happened to 'all the mass of that airplane', watch.

The attached video clip is of an Air Force engineering test of a concrete barrier that was to surround a nuclear reactor dome, to see if it would indeed survive an aerial attack.

With the high speed cameras rolling, they attached an F-4 Phantom to the sled and then pumped up the speed to 500 MPH. So what happens when an 'Unstoppable Force' meets an 'Immovable Object'? Watch in slow motion as he F-4 turns to vapor.

You'll probably play it more than once just to believe it.

Mitt Romney's uncut "Faith in America" address to the nation.

This is AWESOME. Too bad we don't have more people on Capital Hill willing to speak out like this. J.D. Pendry is a retired Army Command Sergeant Major who writes for Random House. He is eloquent, and he seldom beats around the bush!

An interesting, thought provoking selection of material. My profound thanks to each veteran who served to protect our freedoms.

By leaving out all these facts — never even mentioning that the subjects of its investigation had converted to Islam — CNN committed professional malpractice.

Its "special investigation" is nothing more than a politically correct whitewashing of the truth aimed at pleasing Muslim groups like CAIR, which has argued that "there is no indication that this case is related to Islam or Muslims."

When Mother speaks, we learn early to listen.

An inspirational story for sure.

A considered and thoughful explanation of what's missing in our national debate about 'the war.'

I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled it with
seed. Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the
continuous flow of free and easily accessible food. But then the birds
started building nests in the boards of the patio, above the table, and
next to the barbecue. ....

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America.

War has been declared on Christians, Jews, non-Muslims and secularists worldwide by Islamic extremists...simply because we are infidels according to their belief. As Islamic fundamentalism spreads its tentacles worldwide, it is crucial for the people of the Western world to understand the danger, know what to expect, and know what to do about it.

DON'T MISS THIS ONE -- A series of short interviews with Yuri Bezmenov – a former KGB agent & Soviet defector. He explains the psychological warfare methods and results used by the former Soviet Union.

The main battlefields are psychological, political and economic. It also encompasses revolution, violence, terror and limited military skirmishes.

Is there a parallel for us in America today? Could the same reasons that destroyed Rome have weaken America at a time when we now face yet another enemy – that of Radical Islam which is also out to kill us all.

If we’re to survive whatever forms of attack that will yet come from Radical Islam – we must understand and accommodate this message. Our United States is the last bastion of real freedom – the only effective protection against what is now the world’s greatest evils – the godless socialist-communism conspiracy and that of Radical Islam. Both seek to destroy all we hold dear as a great Christian nation.

On April 9, 2004, insurgents ambushed a convoy guarded by the 724th and took U.S. Army Private First Class Maupin, then 20, captive. There have been conflicting reports on his fate. He was seen alive on one videotape, reported killed on another. Without proof of his death, the Army presumes he is still alive. His family fervently prays that is so.

From another era, an unwavering voice speaks slowly, its gravity punctuated by ministerial pauses: "Almighty God: Our sons, pride of our nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our republic, our religion, and our civilization, and to set free a suffering humanity. ..."

A Minneapolis couple decided to go to Florida to thaw out during a particularly icy winter ...

Thomas Jefferson said that “A nation’s best defense is an educated citizenry.” It’s time for the Government Accountability Office to report on the true costs of Congress’ continuing-resolution habit. The impact is very costly and detracts from our Homeland Security.

The case against the Haditha Marines unravels as murder charges are dropped against one and the court hearing of two others is postponed. Will we soon be hearing John Murtha’s apology? Consider this podcast instead of the scurrilous and unfounded accusations from anti-war politicians and media who rely on insurgent sources for their stories about our decent and hard-fighting men in uniform.

It is now clear from her own words and the words of those who accompanied her to Damascus that our House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has in fact committed a felony in traveling to Damascus last week as she communicated against the wishes of the President to not communicate on foreign policy issues with Syrian President Bashar Assad. As stated in the Washington post "... this is dangerous and very wrong." House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has become a “useful idiot" to our enemies.

Congressional hijinks and radical Islam at work. Will some Congressional leadership go to jail or simply pass "GO" for $200? Hear Bridgette Gabriel talk to The Heritage Foundation and address how her life changed because radical Islam took over her country. Then wake up – radical Islam wants you dead – wake up before it is too late.

Being on Capitol Hill yesterday (9/10/2007) was a remarkable experience for Bridgette Gabriel . As she and her assistant pulled into the Capitol under heavy security, they looked around in utter amazement as heavily armed SWAT teams with their fully loaded M16s stood with hands on triggers ready to fire, covering the Capitol and its surrounding streets. You would expect to see this in Israel — but not in the United States. It is a chilling sign of the times we live in and a harsh reminder that we are at war with Islamofascists who are bent on killing us.

Bridgette's presentation on Capitol Hill was one of the most important presentations she has ever given. The room filled quickly after the 9-11 ceremony on the steps of the Capitol. She began speaking at 7:30 PM. You could hear a pin drop as Members of Congress sat there stunned, listening to the details she was sharing.

There were no journalists, no cameras, and no CSPAN. With the doors shut Bridgette let the truth fly. Bridgette was more candid than she has ever been in any public presentation -- if you can imagine, even more so than in this podcast.

The members who attended were so moved and so motivated that they want to organize a major meeting to have Bridgett present to the entire body of Congress, House and Senate, Republicans and Democrats. They are going to reach out to their colleagues who were not at yesterday’s briefing and urge them to get involved as well.

Listen to this podcast and you to will be moved and motivated by what you hear.

Some in Congress trying for authority that the U.S. Constitution does NOT give them.

Totally unscripted and unrehearsed interview with one of my nine year old grandsons. Joshua wanted to tell his friends about his Venus Fly traps.

Illegal immigration clearly explained.

"Congressmen who willfully take actions during wartime that damage morale and undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested, exiled, or hanged." -- President Abraham Lincoln. The nonbinding actions of Congress may not be illegal, but they are certainly putting our great nation -- as well as those of our friends -- in peril during a time of war. It is time to once again reflect on what constitutes inappropriate behavior in time of war.

Mexico has no place in U.S. internal affairs.

World Net Daily’s Jerome Corsi -- author of the best-seller “Unfit For Command” -- is reporting that the Mexican government was directly involved in the initation of the investigation against Border Patrol Agents Ramos and Compean which led to their arrest, conviction and imprisonment.

Corsi, quoting members of Congress and sourcing Hill staffers, reports that Department of Homeland Security investigators informed Congress that it was the Mexican Consulate that initiated the events by contacting the U.S. Consulate.

See the article at http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=54243

The White House is said to be overwhelmed with calls
for agents Ramos and Compean. We must keep the pressure on high.
Please make it a point to call the White House and demand a
full pardon for the agents, and an investigation into this case.

Use either of these two numbers: 202/456-1111, 202/456-1414.

I also encourage you to contact your Congressmen and Senators
by calling:

202/224-3121.

Why some marchers on the nation's capital are more equal than others in the eyes of the main-stream media.

Ok, so this podcast did not occur five minutes following the President's remarks, but I just couldn't pass up making my own response.

Listen to the state of the union speech **without** the many long sessions of applause and it is much shorter.

SPECIAL REPORT: Former Border Agents Ramos and Compean have begun their 11 and 12 year prison terms for their attempt to apprehend an illegal alien drug smuggler.

Grassroots pressure continues to build on behalf of these agents and it's
working! Congressman Hunter is calling for a Congressional pardon and
President Bush made his first public comments on the issue. Bush indicated he is open to a pardon and noted "there's a process for pardons" and the case had to work its way through the system.

Make no mistake--the only reason the President made this public comment is because of grassroots pressure. We must keep the pressure on!

More than 225,000 petitions were presented to Members of Congress and delivered to the White House (See photos). Grassroots wants to take 300,000 back in the next week.

Here is an interesting discussion put on by The Heritage Foundation regarding the realities of counter-terrorism and Homeland Security as viewed through the “window” of the TV Show “24”. This presentation includes a speech and Q&A session – first talk -- with the Homeland Security Michael Chertoff.

Listen carefully to Roy Beck's celebrated demonstration of the population consequences of current U.S. immigration policies has entertained and shocked ... all audiences across the country. This audio is packed with the facts and analysis that make moral and practical sense of a complex and highly contentious issue.

"Immigration by the Numbers" is the celebrated demonstration that Roy Beck has been giving to scores of audiences across the nation, as well as on many TV programs, including C-SPAN. Using colorful, eye-catching props, he entertains and shocks audiences with the population consequences of current U.S. immigration policies. Thousands of people across the country are finding that there is no easier way to communicate their concerns about immigration to friends, relatives and fellow citizens than by showing them Roy's video - or hearing this podcast

The favorite part for many is the "gumballs" demonstration that illustrates the unethical nature of our immigration policy which drains the smartest, most energetic people from Third-World societies which desperately need their leadership. Taped before a college audience, the feature presentation is only 16 minutes. It is ideal for use in programs of luncheon organizations, church study groups, college and high school classes, and simply at home among friends and relatives.

I also recommend viewing the video -- it is free -- (http://www.numbersusa.com/about/posters.html) is packed with the facts and analyses that make moral and practical sense of a complex and highly contentious issue.

Montana cowboy overseeing his herd in a remote mountainous pasture ...

SIG’s Kadet trainer was one of the first, and one of the best, RC trainers ever designed. Through the 30+ years it has been available, the .40-sized “Kadet” has taught the mysteries of airspeed control, proper attitude and basic aerobatics to tens of thousands of new RC pilots. The old Kadet still lives on in both the updated Kadet LT-40 kit and the Kadet LT-40 ARF. Both versions are still helping to train more RC pilots, as they are two of the easiest trainers to fly.

A few years ago SIG introduced a larger version of this proven airframe as the Kadet Senior ARF. The 70” wingspan of the .40-sized Kadet is increased to 80”. The wing area grows from 910 sq. in. to 1,200 sq. in. The larger airplane weighs 7.75 lbs, just 29 % more than the smaller, original version. The much larger wing and moderate weight increase result in a low “wing loading”, only 15 ounces per square foot of wing area. These are very good numbers for so large a plane. I for one enjoy flying this airplane.
