The FCC Goes for the Nuclear Option
If FCC Chairman Genachowski announces his intention to reclassify the Internet as a telephone system, he will be reversing 30 years of precedent. As I have repeatedly warned and noted on www.ObamaChart.com, when Congress blocks the Obama administration, the White House always finds a way to get around the normal policy-making process and pursue its agenda by other means. Today’s reclassification assault on the Internet is the latest—and perhaps the most egregious—example. In its effort to imposing crippling net neutrality regulations on the Internet—an idea with very little support from the American public or Congress—the Obama administration first turned to the FCC simply to pretend Congress has given it authority to regulate. That effort suffered a major setback when the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals emphatically smacked down the FCC’s regulatory proposals in Comcast v. FCC. President Obama and his close friend and FCC chairman Julius Genachowski, however, refuse to back down. Instead they’re escalating to the regulatory equivalent of a nuclear attack on the free-market Internet: Chairman Genachowski will announce today his intention to reclassify broadband Internet as an old-fashioned telephone system as a pretext for pervasive regulatory control.

Abortion in U.S. a $1 billion Industry: Study
Abortion in the United States has become a $1 billion-a-year industry quietly fostered over 40 years by a climate that is allowing related, morally suspect commercial offshoots to develop in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and life sciences, a new study alleges.

Arizona Seems Onto Something
Because it's fundamentally good for the country when foreigners want to become Americans, people who claim to be pro-immigrant should lay off Arizona. Maybe they should rethink this wish for "comprehensive" immigration reform. Arizona just enacted laws meant to stanch the illegal immigration that the federal government has ignored. About 60% to 70% of the public, depending on the poll, reckons that was reform.
Putatively pro-immigrant activists don't. The Gamaliel Foundation, a left-wing front, bused 100 pastors to Kenosha Thursday to protest at the jail because the feds hold possible deportees there. The pastors don't want illegal immigrants deported. One leader, the Rev. Dennis Jacobsen of Milwaukee, declared this demand part of a "moral vision" for immigration reform and spoke of "the hateful mind-set in Arizona."
Activists setting up a May Day march in Milwaukee, due to happen between when I write this and when you read it, were saying much the same. They were enraged at Arizona's law, the heart of which says state authorities can't ignore the question of whether someone's here illegally. That's racist, they contended.

The Obama-Ayers Meeting: What You Haven't Been Told
A new book released today uncovers for the first time where and how President Obama first met Weather Underground terrorist-group founder William Ayers – and it is much earlier than previously believed. The book reveals the two were brought together by a student of radical community organizer Saul Alinsky, whose name, it has emerged, was obscured in Obama's autobiography "Dreams from My Father."

The nation’s non-union contractors, who constitute the bulk of the construction industry, say President Obama has given a “massive payback” to unions by implementing an executive order that would help them secure billions of dollars in construction contracts on public projects -- and a House Republican congressman agrees.

Times Square Suspect...
...'inspired by radical cleric with links to Christmas Day plot and Fort Hood shootings'
The man suspected of attempting to bomb Times Square was inspired by a radical cleric with links to suspects in the failed Christmas Day plane bombing and the Fort Hood shootings, according to reports. Faisal Shahzad, 30, has told investigators that he watched Internet videos by the American-born, Yemeni based cleric, Anwar al-Aulaqi ahead of allegedly driving a weapon of mass destruction into the centre of New York. The cleric was the first American citizen to be placed on a list of most wanted by the CIA when the Obama administration authorised his killing in April. Mr al-Aulaqi is believed to be a recruitment officer for al-Qaeda and has been tied with the 9/11 terrorists as well as Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Nigerian accused of trying to blow up a Detroit-bound airliner on Christmas Day, and Major Nidal Malik Hasan, the Army psychiatrist accused of killing 13 people in November at Fort Hood, Texas.

Justice Department..
...Border Patrol Agents Assaulted Daily, Kidnappings Every 35 Hours in Phoenix, 1 in 5 Teens Using Drugs Predominantly Supplied by Mexican Traffickers
Three Border Patrol agents are assaulted on the average day at or near the U.S. border. Someone is kidnapped every 35 hours in Phoenix, Ariz., often by agents of alien smuggling organizations. And one-in-five American teenagers last year used some type of illegal drug, many of which were imported across the unsecured U.S.-Mexico border. These facts are reported in the recently released National Drug Threat Assessment for 2010, published by the National Drug Intelligence Center, a division of the U.S. Justice Department. They ought to add some perspective to the national debate raging over Arizona’s new law that requires local law enforcement officers to make a “reasonable attempt” to determine the immigration status of persons they legally come into contact with and whom they reasonably suspect of being in the country illegally

Forced Abortions in America?
This is sick.....
This week, reporters broke the story of a young girl in the Pennsylvania foster care program who became pregnant. When the state Department of Human Services (DHS) found out, they asked for a family court order approving the state to take her in for an abortion-despite the fact that her mom refused to consent. By that time, the girl was 24-weeks pregnant.
"Although it is DHS policy that a state worker accompany any minor who has a court-ordered medical procedure, this did not happen on the girl's first attempt to have the abortion." Instead, she was smuggled to New Jersey for the appointment--alone. Because the young mom didn't have the proper paperwork, she had to return a second time for the abortion--this time with a state government worker, who ensured that the baby never came home. Apparently, that employee didn't bother to contact the girl's foster mom, who panicked when she didn't return from school that day. When she walked through the door at 8:30 that night, her foster mom asked her "what happened?" The girl replied, "The baby is dead."
According to the Philadelphia Daily News, "The teen told her that [DHS worker Cynthia] Brown had taken her out of school to get an abortion in New Jersey." As for conscience rights of those involved? Forget it. The girl's original social worker was fired for refusing to participate in the abortion. "They hired me to work in child protection, not to kill children," she said. And while the state insists it didn't pay for the abortion (the city of Mayfair did), a state worker did accompany her and most likely paid for her transportation. Unfortunately, this isn't an isolated incident. Of the 335 girls who became pregnant under DHS's care, almost a third abort--and nearly half of those are done by a judge's order.
