Will Bush veto 'thought police'?

WorldNetDaily

The nation's largest public policy women's group is asking President Bush to commit to a veto of a "hate crimes" plan that, as WND has reported, opponents fear would target Christians and be used to demolish both freedom of speech and religion in the United States. "Last week the House Judiciary Committee, egged on by radical homosexual groups, passed what can only be called a Thought Crimes bill," said former White House insider Chuck Colson in his Breakpoint commentary. "It's called the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act. But this bill is not about hate. It's not even about crime. It's about outlawing peaceful speech – speech that asserts that homosexual behavior is morally wrong."

Police to Review Clash at LA Rally

Associated Press

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Police Chief William J. Bratton on Wednesday promised an investigation into the conduct of police who dispersed an immigration rally, after videos captured officers using force with reporters and firing rubber bullets into crowds. Bratton said officers fired 240 "nonlethal" rounds to clear MacArthur Park late Tuesday. News images showed police hitting a television cameraman to the ground, shoving people who were walking away from officers and injuries from the rubber bullets, including a Hispanic man with welts on his abdomen and back. Lines of officers moved through the park firing the rubber rounds. "The events of yesterday, with all (the training) that we do, should not have occurred," Bratton said at a tense news conference. "We should not be engaged in attacks on the media."

Showdown looms after Bush veto

CNN.com

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Four years to the day after standing on the deck of an aircraft carrier and declaring "major combat operations" in Iraq were over, President Bush on Tuesday vetoed a war-spending bill that calls for the start of a withdrawal of American combat troops from the conflict. "It makes no sense to tell the enemy when you plan to start withdrawing. All the terrorists would have to do is mark their calendars. ... Setting a deadline for withdrawal is setting a date for failure, and that would be irresponsible," Bush said in a televised address after the veto.

U.S. to Plug Border-Security Gap

Wall Street Journal

WASHINGTON -- The Department of Homeland Security will soon start using a database of stolen passports maintained by Interpol, a move that will help fix a glaring weakness in U.S. border security. But it comes nearly two years after the international police organization made the information available to Washington. For years, Washington has worried about the dangers represented by lost and stolen passports. Stolen passports, especially blank ones that can be filled in with false information, are of particular concern because they can't easily be detected by immigration officers. Since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, stolen blank passports have been called the "terrorist's golden ticket" because they facilitate unhindered travel.

Immigration Rally Turnout Lower Than '06

ABC News

Magda Ortiz believes a recent raid in a largely Mexican neighborhood of Chicago made people too afraid to march in an immigration rights rally, which drew far fewer protesters than turned out last year. Ortiz, a 27-year-old legal resident from Mexico and mother of two, pushed through crowds on the city's lakefront with a stroller bearing a sign that read: "Bush, think about the moms. Stop the raids."

Here comes $3 gas again, and it could get worse

USA Today

WASHINGTON — If the price at your local gas station isn't topping $3 already, it likely will soon. The national average price for a gallon of regular gasoline was $2.971 Monday, up more than a dime from a week ago and the highest since August, according to the Energy Department. A separate survey from motor club AAA found the U.S. average was $2.953 Monday, up nearly 30 cents from a month ago. Oil market experts, including those at Wachovia, Oil Price Information Service and Alaron Trading, said it's just a matter of time before the U.S. average gasoline price tops $3 a gallon. The average price at the pump already is above $3 in 11 states and the District of Columbia.

Conservative Black Pastors Fight Bill on Hate Crimes

Washington Post

A coalition of conservative African American pastors is lobbying Congress to vote against a bill that would extend federal hate-crimes laws to cover gays, saying they fear it would prevent them from preaching against homosexuality. Several pastors last week urged House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.), a sponsor of the bill, and other members of the Congressional Black Caucus to vote against the proposed Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act.

MAY DAY: Immigration Rallies Planned Nationwide...

Breitbart.com

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Demonstrators demanding a path to citizenship for an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants hope that nationwide marches will spur Congress to act before the looming presidential primaries take over the political landscape. Marches, meetings and voter registration drives were planned Tuesday from California to New York, a year after 1 million flexed their economic muscle in a nationwide boycott during last year's May 1 activities. Though this year's turnout will likely be lower, organizers say immigrants feel a sense of urgency to keep immigration reform from getting pushed to the back burner by the 2008 presidential elections. "If we don't act, then both the Democratic and Republican parties can go back to their comfort zones and do nothing," said Angelica Salas, director of the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles. "They won't have the courage to resolve a major situation for millions of people."

Unconfirmed reports say al Qaeda in Iraq leader dead

CNN.com

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Unconfirmed reports Tuesday indicated that Al Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Ayyub al-Masri had died in fighting between rival militant groups north of the Iraqi capital, according to an Interior Ministry spokesman. "We received intelligence reports of al-Masri getting killed in clashes between al-Qaeda in Iraq and other militant groups, at dawn today, in al-Niba'ie in Taji, north of Baghdad," Brig. Gen. Abdul Karim Khalaf said. According to Khalaf, the reports are based on "very strong intelligence," but he added al-Masri's body has not been seen and stressed that the reported battle was an internal fight between rival militant groups -- no Iraqi troops were involved.

EU Demands Cows Alter Diets To Reduce Global Warming Emissions

The Sun UK

BARMY Euro MPs are demanding new laws to stop cows and sheep PARPING. Their call came after the UN said livestock emissions were a bigger threat to the planet than transport. The MEPs have asked the European Commission to “look again at the livestock question in direct connection with global warming”.

Google and MySpace Expanding in China

San Francisco Chronicle

Google and MySpace are increasing their efforts to establish themselves in China, the second-largest Internet market behind the United States.

Illegal Alien-related Felony Cases Swamping Federal Courts

Washington Times

Illegal alien-related felony cases are swamping federal courts along the southwest border, forcing judges to handle hundreds more cases than their peers elsewhere. Judges in the five, mostly rural judicial districts on the border carry the heaviest felony caseloads in the nation. Each judge in New Mexico, which ranked first, handled an average of 397 felony cases last year, compared with the national average of 84.

Congress Clears Iraq Bill; Veto Awaits

Time

(WASHINGTON) — In a bold wartime challenge to President Bush, the Democratic-controlled Congress cleared legislation Thursday to begin withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq by Oct. 1 with a goal of a complete pullout six months later. The White House dismissed the legislation as "dead before arrival." The 51-46 Senate vote was largely along party lines, and like House passage a day earlier it underscored that the war's congressional opponents are far short of the two-thirds majority needed to override a Bush veto.

Home Builders Hammered by Housing Slump

ABC News

April 27, 2007 — Thanks to better-than-expected corporate earnings, the Dow broke through the 13,000 mark for the first time Wednesday. But not everyone is celebrating. The nation's largest, publicly traded home builders are reporting significant drops in revenue and profits.

Feds crack down on security at chemical plants

USA Today

FREEPORT, Texas — Six years ago, anyone in a boat could have gone up the murky Brazos River, hopped ashore and walked up to a tank holding one of the world's deadliest chemicals here at the nation's largest petrochemical complex. Today, that intruder wouldn't stand much of a chance of getting close to the round, five-story storage sphere that holds a key ingredient needed to make plastic.

Was Tehran Behind an Iraq Raid?

Time

When unknown gunmen abducted and killed five American soldiers from a joint U.S.-Iraqi base in Karbala in January, suspicion immediately fell on an elite Iranian paramilitary outfit called the Quds Force. The attack certainly bore signs of elaborate planning and professional execution: Nine to twelve fighters wearing U.S.-style military uniforms slipped onto the base driving sport utility vehicles, apparently duping guards at the gate. Once inside, the gunmen opened fire and threw grenades, killing one American soldier before seizing four others and speeding away. The entire operation was completed in roughly 20 minutes.
