Mitt Romney is now officially the GOP nominee. But you have to hail Ron Paul as he has some great points with his years of reading. Several friends who admire Mr. Paul talked about an address Rep. Charles Lindbergh gave on 1892 as the plan of the Bank Manifesto. Well Lindbergh's warning has come to light in only 120 years as we see the Banks control 56% of the US Economy. Smart move to dumb down Americans over the years to assure to plan worked. With 34 countries listed as highest in education/math the USA is ranked 25th. 90% of elected Law Makers have no clue what the banks do and when the Bankers lie under oath the Law Makers just smile. I loved history in school and laughed when older Law Makers spoke of a secret group of bankers who controlled the World Economy and Law Makers. You live long enough you learn they were correct. Most of the smartest math students in America are those who families have learned it's importance. A 16 year old kid born in India and then moved to Germany has solved a problem Sir Isaac Newton worked on and couldn't solve but 350 years later a 16 year old Shourryya Ray solved it. President Obama was right as the US is falling behind in education as the World moves forward. What was embarrassing is Mitt Romney posted his slogan and misspelled America and yes somebody didn't use spell check.

Finally another War Criminal brought to Justice and let's hope the United States charges other War Criminals.

have a great day all

    Jackie, When President Clinton intervened in Kosova, when President Bush invaded Afghanistan

    and Iraq, they at least went on television to clue the rest of us in. I applaud the capture of

    Bin Laden on President Obama's watch, but the precedent set by him, stupid and reckless

    presidents will enjoy this prerogative no less than shrewd and well-meaning ones.

      You are right Phyllis President Obama didn't come out and announce his search for Bin Laden. But it was the troops and the Navy Seals who expressed pass public release even to the Foreign Affairs/Defense Committee members have spoken of places the soldiers were told to get Bin Laden. Former Pakistan Pervez Musharraf is still in contract with US Law Makers. Obama would have had egg on his face and impeached if he dare to announced the location/search. Many of those who are elected Law Makers would have made those public and you can bet Bin Laden would be alive today. Musharraf even came to Texas to support Gov. Perry. Like or dislike Obama for what ever reason the capture of Bin Laden wasn't as much for Americans who hadn't thought about him but for the 7 ,000 died soldiers and the thousands injured because of 9/11. History will show as Mitt said anyone would have captured Bin Laden and even save the US Auto Industry. I followed the Wars from the day Peaches joined the US Military and it was the Military website that gave the facts as soldiers wrote home not the Media. You can bet if Obama had openned his mouth someone would have notified Bin Laden.

        Jackie, BTW, I thought President Obama's Plan was brilliant. Interesting HuffPost article about it

        and now I will tune in for the conclusion of The Hatfields and the McCoys; exciting show. Best

        to Peaches, a remarkable young woman. no doubt about that in my mind. Phyllis

          Guess we saw a little of the downside of collective salvation (collective damnation) this weekend because some how what the filthy left did to returning Vietnam Veterans became a "National Shame" according to Obama. That's just freaking perfect seeing how the people who treated them that way are his base today.

            My brother died in the Vietnam War and my daughter is serving in Afghanistan now. Sorry Dave you have to live the years to understand it and it was disgraceful. Most Americans turned their back on the soldiers coming home and those that died total 58,000 people didn't know and didn't care nor did the Government. The filthy left and right did nothing and it took the longest to even get the Vietnam Memorial. As Americans we respect each President elected only a few racist have a problem with this President. My brother was drafted like all those in 1965 including Mitt Romney but a few like Mitt dodged the draft and fled overseas. I find it disgraceful to hear Americans attack the brave service men/women who are Patriots and keep the freedoms all Americans have today. Mitt and I are from a generation that heard a US President say " ask not what your country can do for you, ask what can you do for your country".

              Grip tightly to that "race card" as the only reason anyone has a problem with this President, it's the last one in the deck.

                As a Military family we're not into the race stuff as I saw in the 50's how hateful that is and learned that race stuff comes from those who are ignorant and don't know any better. Funny as I have a fun who tells people the racist will really have a problem with heaven where there is no racism. I like the people like yourself and other who just respect people and don't deal with the race stuff . Thanks Dave

                  Lester, a terrific broadcast, and I will try to connect President Obama and President Putin with the

                  Hatfields and McCoys. It seems to me that Pres. Putin, like actor Warren Beatty, is a foul-weather

                  friend, so the trick is to untie the knot as shown on that program last night where the mother

                  advise the father to get her to hate him. (that is the girlfriend hate the boyfriend, their son) Hopefully, Pres. Obama will convince Pres. Putin

                  to change his mind in June but if that doesn't work, untie the knot and somehow get Pres. Putin "to hate

                  Assad". In the program, they beat her up and she turned on her boyfriend. I am not suggesting

                  they beat up Assad which only would make Pres. Putin feel sorry for him. I suggest using reverse-

                  pyscholog to untie the knot. So there you are, Lester, and have a nice evening. Phyllis

                    Good Evening Mr.Holt, A nice broadcast this evening and good to see you filling on for Mr.Williams tonight. Always wonderful to see Richard on the broadcast!

                    First of all Richard's interview with Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak about Iran's nuclear program and how Israel is not taking the option of attacking Israel off the table. Israel sees Iran threat of a nuclear weapon as an immediate problem and talks with Iran are as he stated, self dillusional". Iran not being serious about stopping their nuclear weapon building and buying time until they have built a weapon. The United Stated opposes an attack on Israel, but Israel is not giving up on the idea. As Defense Minister Barak stated there is no date or time although it would be good to resolve the nuclear problem with Iran using diplomacy and see the crisis as being over. But Iran has only increased there production of uranium over the last three months. The question is what will happen in the next four or five years as Iran builds a possible nuclear weapon. As Richard stated there will be talks in Moscow next month and one hopes a resolution to the problem will be found. Time will tell.

                    Excellent Reporting As Always Richard!

                    The report by Andrea Mitchell about the crisis in Syria showed how more terrible atrocities have occurred in the region with the discovery of 13 more bodies found bound and killed. With no sign of Assad giving up power it could ignite the country into civil war. It was horrific to learn how the children and women were killed and one hopes these atrocious attacks cease ASAP. The US Adminstration opposes arming the opposition since one would not really know who was being armed. It is disturbing that Iran could possibly be helping the militia in Syria. One just hopes all this violence ends soon.

                    The report by Mr.Almaguer about a released prisoner boarding a plane at the San Diego International Airport was disturbing since he was able to not go through security and board the plane without a ticket. Hearing there are 7 security breeches per day was staggering, yet the TSA insists travellers are safe. One hopes this kind of incident does not happen again.

                    Thank You for the broadcast Mr.Holt. Peace to You and to All!

                    Be Well Everyone!

                    Stay Extra,Extra Safe and Well Richard! Excellent Reporting!

                    Take Extra,Extra Good Care Richard annd Crew!

                    Lisa

                      i used toothpaste today to clean up my mom's turquoise silver bracelet that i inherited, it's a good 3 1/2 inch or so cuff of 5 bands of silver with a large turquoise stone set atop of them. i use it as a stone of protection over my bathtub, it sits on top of the petrified wood from the painted desert in arizona, the petrified wood is supposedly good for arthritis, don't quite know how that one works, but friends gave me the two pieces, so that's how i use them. i had a weird thought as i was rinsing the bracelet that ancient norsemen came out of the petrified wood rocks onto the silver and they were part of the tarnish that was going down the drain, maybe they showed up at the water treatment plant, who knows? back when i was selling bags to the phoenix boutiques and a few shops in colorado, i did a new design for the colorado customers and when i moved into my little trailer and looked at the silk screen, i realized that the design looked like a viking longboat with a sun sitting at the prow. how odd! so, ancient vikings in colorado? there were vikings as far as salt lake, utah. the granite used for the salt lake temple has veins of viking bone dust in it. and during a talk, the wife of the ward's bishop told us that there were welsh words in the hopi language. i did a painting once of a sky with a woman's face in it and a small pueblo village beneath her. so, native american, but, dang, the woman wanted to be a blonde, so i had to paint her that way! a couple of years later, looking at the t-shirt that i put the print on, the sky looked like van gogh's 'starry, starry night'. i tweeted neil degrasse tyson in response to his comment about the alignment of the sun in manhattan on 5/29 and 7/12 that i had this thought last fall that the native americans who sold manhattan for a chestful of european beads might have been sensing spirits in the beads, which were what? glass and minerals? that they were kindred to. so, their ancestors in that chest of beads were worth the island . . . . . fair trade. i have a picture of my mom and my grandparents from 1950 and my grandmother is wearing her hair peasant swedish style, a thick braid wrapped around her head. i'm waiting for someone to come out and tell us that barack obama is african pharoah line. what a weird dream that was! well, we do have that pyramid and the eye of horus on the back of the $ bill. beryl is on the breastplate of aaron, for one of the tribes. i had a dream that the breastplate was a device used as protection against nuclear radiation when the tribes went forth out of the desert. the desert must have been a parallel universe, methinks. into jericho to kill every living thing. what an order from God! shiite and sunni must be remnants of two different worlds. hatfield and mccoys for sure! only peace will bring back that world so that you can return to it. it stands to reason that war will only take you into final annihilation for all time. nothing left of anything. pride is devastating. do they realize they are an instrument of their own total extinction, obviously not. 'my thoughts are not your thoughts, my ways are not your ways,' God tells us. reverse-psychology, right phyllis? the kentucky wonder bean plants are sending up the first vine tendril. sensors on plants are amazing. the horrible wind last week knocked the first blooms off of the tomato plants, there are more blooms coming on, i will have to find a way to protect them if it happens again. there are two french doors at my parents' house that i will get this weekend to use as the main pieces for a small greenhouse type protection for them in the fall when they are loaded with baby tomatoes, i could use that now for the wind, methinks. take care all, best, anna martina

                        BTW, Lester, an uncanny coincidence with the June-Summit, and a book "V" by Thomas Pynchon, page543,

                        "Events began to shape themselves for June and the coming Assembly, and Russia's President Putin

                        will like the last paragraph: "Astarte's throat naked to the cloudless ending, and slam it down again

                        into a piece of the "Mediterranean". my quotes. President Putin believes that the West is taking

                        advantage of the Arab Revolt to dislodge Russia from the Mediterranean" It would be an incredible

                        start if Obama would reassure Putin that is not the case and then Obama would make his case, etc.
