Report: ‘Issues of Culture, Ethnicity and Identity’ Raised in U.K. Rape-Gang Case : The Other McCain
“This week, the BBC reported the Derby case repeatedly on radio with barely a mention of the fact all but one of the gang members were Asian, or the fact the vast majority of the victims — 22 of the 27 mentioned in court — were white girls.”
Read this grim article but understand that the PC Brits call islamic monsters "asian".

Feds: Somali-born teen plotted car-bombing in Ore.
My Way News - Feds: Somali-born teen plotted car-bombing in Ore.
"Undercover agents in a sting operation arrested a Somali-born teenager just as he tried blowing up a van full of what he believed were explosives at a crowded Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Portland, federal authorities said."
I sure hope this teen wasn't "profiled"....it would be so unfair!

Then ponder this: how much money is in it. . . . Assets for the organization are listed at $190 million, a nice chunk of change in these economic hard times.
When was the last time this group, with almost $190 million in assets, did a damn worthwhile thing about, um, poverty?”
Well, nobody who works for them is poor. . . ."

Federal judge to no longer oversee Detroit water department
"U.S. District Judge John Feikens, who turns 93 next week and has been ill recently, began oversight of the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department 33 years ago as part of a pollution lawsuit settlement.
Feikens' departure is the third major leadership loss for the department in recent months at a time when state regulators have found major pollution violations in the Detroit River caused by the city's wastewater treatment plant."

"Then came the kicker from President Obama: "Ronald Reagan said, 'Trust but verify.' We can't verify right now.
...A nuclear arms control pact cannot be passed blindly under the rationale that 'it is in everybody's interests to work on reducing our nuclear arsenals.'
GOP senators want it made clear what New START really does, and what Moscow believes it does.
They want the detailed records of our negotiations, and as of now the president refuses to provide them.
Trusting Europe's judgment is no way to verify that post-Cold War Russia really will be constrained in the future."

"Total production was too meager to support the population, and famine resulted.
This went on for two years.
'So as it well appeared that famine must still ensue the next year also, if not some way prevented,' wrote Gov. William Bradford in his diary. The colonists, he said, 'began to think how they might raise as much corn as they could, and obtain a better crop than they had done, that they might not still thus languish in misery.
At length after much debate of things, (I) (with the advice of the chiefest among them) gave way that they should set corn every man for his own particular, and in that regard trust to themselves.
And so assigned to every family a parcel of land.'
In other words, the people of Plymouth moved from socialism to private farming.
The results were dramatic."

Should public retirement age be hiked past 60? - OC Watchdog : The Orange County Register
"So the good states of the Union are starting to face up to the fact that they can’t afford to pay the pensions and other benefits they’ve promised to retirees.
Oops.
We told you earlier about how the Pew Center on the States has released a new nationwide review of how states are mobilizing to battle their coming $1 trillion pension tsunami,
And we note that while California has raised the retirement age for most employees from 55 to 60, other states have raised it to 62, and even 67.
Some note that Social Security doesn’t fully kick in until you’re 67.
What do you think? (You might want to ponder the charts below, from a Pew report, before you cast your vote.)"

A spokesman for the Michigan state treasury said Thursday that municipal bankruptcy isn't an option for Hamtramck, the small city near Detroit that earlier this month asked the state for permission to file for the process."
