Looks like actor Chuck Norris was a big help to Scott Walker in Wisconsin, and BTW, Norris and I are

in the 1940's Census, and I would not have known about it had my brother not told me. He thinks

it's cool, and so do I,.

    The Liberals at MSNBC declared Obama the big winner in Wisconsin last night, based on Liberal exit polls taken in inner city Milwaukee polling stations. I guess these were the same pollsters who told us the race was tight and Walker may be ousted. People say Fox News is biased often although numerous Democrats and Dem pundits are interviewed on Fox News almost every day, however, last night on MSNBC was the most outrageous coverage and biased reporting I ever heard in my life. The only thing Rachel Maddow and the MSNBC crew did not do last night was state their desire for same gender sexual relations with Obama like they did a few years ago. Also, they did not get down on their knees and worship in front of a photo of Obama. Short of those two acts of Obama worship they acted like crazed teenagers. Absolutley disgusting behavior on a news show and a new low for broadcast news.

      53% to 46% is a "Big Margin?" Better than 9 of every 20 people wanted to take the drastic step of removing a sitting Governor. I'm not in favor of the recall, if Wisconsin elected him, they have to endure him, IMHO. But this is hardly a ringing endorsement of his administration, esp. considering all the outside money used to keep him in office.

        Good Evening Mr.Williams, a great broadcast this evening. And the newly designed website for NBC Nightly News is really nice!

        First of all the report by Janet Shamlian regarding California voting to cut pensions of public workers due to the budget problems of cities. It is disturbing and frustrating to the people who have worked so hard to earn the pensions for retirement only to have it taken away. Yet, so many services have been cut in order to fund the pensions which doesn't seem fair. This financial problem has reached so many cities across the country and one hopes something can be done to turn things for the better.

        The report by Mr.Mohyeldin from Cairo concerning the crisis in Syria showed how the terrible, atrocious violent attacks seem to be never ending. Another massacre of around 92 people mostly women and children is so extremely tragic. Shelling in the town of Homa then military going to house killing more families which is horrific. Something needs to be done in the International Community to make some diplomatic efforts to stop the attacks. Too many innocent civilians have been lost and it is simply tragic and sad. One hopes for peace for the civilians.

        The piece by Mr.Pete Williams about the note written by the doctor who first evaluated President Lincoln after he was shot at Ford's Theater was truly interesting. Interesting to hear the words wrtten by the doctor about President Lincoln's condition. A fascinating document to be held at the National Archives.

        One honors and remembers the Allied Troops who landed on the beaches on D-Day 68 years ago today. Honor and Salute the Bravery of all the Allied Soldiers.

        The "Making A Difference" segment was very inspirational. The Harlem Village Academies are turning out some good students and seeing the classroom of the teacher featured in the piece showed how the students are making such great progress with her wonderful teaching method. Enjoyable piece Mr.Williams!

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

        Be Well Everyone!

        Stay Extra,Extra Safe and Well Richard!

        Take Extra,Extra Good Care Richard and Crew!

          there are many ways to destroy a continent and where europe experienced two world wars, i am sure they are as devastated by their current financial situation as they were by the physical destruction of war. at least there is no loss of human life and bombardment of property. i am sure there is a way out for the countries under financial pressure. i am so glad that i live on such a small footprint in my little trailer in sierra vista and was not party to the housing bubble. my thoughts are with the duke of edinborough, i keep a can of whole cranberry sauce in the fridge to open and eat several large tablespoons at a time if and when the cranberry juice doesn't seem to be doing the trick. the vitamin b100 complex really helps the urinary function as well. the veggie garden is coming along, the tomatoes, green beans, zuchinni and basil as well as the pumpkin plants that came up where i threw out the halloween pumpkin last year. had to fight some pests but a cup of vegetable oil with 1/2 cup of pure dishwashing detergent, no enzymes, and shaved ivory soap frothed in a blender seems to be working. it just takes 1 1/2 T with 8 ozs. of warm water in a spray bottle. the gray mourning doves and the small birds finally came to the birdfood after about 10 days when i moved it off of the roof of the shed, which was too close to the cats, out to the front of the empty trailer next to me. i put water out for them as well. so, i am glad that i can luxuriate in my natural rhythm cycle vs. the crazy world. brought the french doors that my sister replaced with a sliding door from the parents' house so that i can rig up a greenhouse of sorts when the cold weather comes and the tomato plants are loaded w/baby tomatoes. told my psychiatric nurse practitioner that now my nerves don't get jangled around 6:00 p.m. or so, anymore. after i'm done in the garden, about 8:30 or so, i remember that i have to take my psych meds. she commented on the therapeutic value of a garden. amen to that. working with the soil is very good, she said:-) amen to that again:-) blessings to all, anna martina

            anna martina, a good post, as always, and I believe the world is on the edge of an economic

            armageddon. Revelation 18, the W of Babylon but the good news is that nobody wants an old W.

            I believe the prophecy of Isaiah 60, an economic revival, will be fulfilled in our lifetime. Have a

            nice day Phyllis

              Try reading Reckless Endangerment by Gretchen Morgenson & Joshua Rosner. Then try to not laugh out loud (or throw something at the TV) when Obama, Clinton or any liar in New York says it was the Bush policies that brought about this meltdown.

                HuffPost asks the question: George W. Bush The Most Unpopular Living President? The

                Powers-That-Be hate GWB because he is opposed to The New World Order which occurred to

                me the other day and that is also why the Media is also out to get him. Former President GWB is

                the best president in modern history because he changed the world with the ouster of

                Saddam, and I believe this great man will be vindicated, and the liars exposed And that will be a

                joyous day in our history. Further, blaming him for this meltdown.--- Who else would these bozos

                blame it on? Hopefully, the real person responsible will be revealed before the November election.

                Former President George W. Bush has endured their hatred, etc. and he owns the world. The

                GOP is still his party and you know the saying, Never underestimate GWB. oR "Misunderestimate
                well, he is adorable and he can fly an airplane His critics are the dumb ones.

                  PS Dave, it's coming back to me, sort of. WJC because of the bad economy, it was his idea to get

                  homes selling. Something like that, as GWB would say. Phyllis

                    Great news for Walker supporters and now the Gov. Walker has enough money in his Criminal Defense fund for that investigation. Mitt thought he won but he learned Obama won Wisconsin vote.

                    Watching the Law Makers today remains me of Christopher Marlowe's book Dr. Faustus as we see many have sold their soul to the Pledge and now are learning the price. Many remember the Recession in the 80's when President Reagan raised the debt ceiling to recover the economy and create jobs. Obama saw he didn't to use Reagan's plan but the GOP can't vote now because 92% have signed the Grover Norquist Pledge and can't disobey Norquist orders or they will be replaced. As Grover orders the Law Makers can't help the American people. Mitt is ready to use his CEO plan that he used in Massachusetts. Mitt was told he would never be elected Governor again in Massachusetts after destroying it in four years.

                    Looks like more States are disenfranchising voters and wow even the poll tax is back. Well Jeb Bush now wishes he had entered the race for President after seeing how bad Mitt is doing.

                      I was moved by the helpless baby in Syria and paraphasing Ivan in The Brothers Karamazov, I

                      challenge President Putin if Assad succeeds because of Russia's support that baby beating its

                      breast with its fists would Putin consent that it was worth it. Looking forward to seeing you, Brian

                      later this evening on Rock Center.

                        Good Evening Mr.Williams, a fine broadcast this evening. Looking forward to Rock Center at 10pm tonight. Nice to see it Rock Center returning for the Summer!

                        First of all the report by Mr.Mohyeldin from Cairo regarding the ongoing crisis in Syria which it not getting any more towards a peaceful end, but becoming more violent everyday. The massacre of so many more women and children is atrocious and heartbreaking because more innocent lives are being lost in this terrible conflict. The militia attacking these towns and going from house to house killing women and children. Entire families lost. This violence must stop since the fighting seems to be headed towards a civil war. The United Nations observers being shot at in the town and denied access to the areas by the Syrian Government showed how Assad and his government continue to have extreme power in the region with allies such as Russia and China. Seeing the babies was heartwrenching and the one baby crying brought tears. Something has to be done to stop these constant attacks by the military, but nothing appears to have happened so far. One truly hopes something can be done.

                        On a weather note the report by Anne Thompson showed this Spring was the warmest ever in the United States. The unusually warm weather has caused farmers to really rush and get their crops picked fast. Huge crops of peaches, strawberries and wheat had to be harvested early due to the warm temperatures. Then other crops like cherries didn't do well in one State and the cherries have to come from overseas. Colorado is seeing bears coming out of hibernation early and roaming into residential areas where they are trying to find food. The warmer temperatures blamed on greenhouse gases. Climate change that is causing havoc with nature.

                        The report by Mr.Almaguer about the tsunami debris washing ashore on the West Coast beaches has caused concern to officials. Seeing that 66ft dock washed ashore on the Oregon beach in incredible and certainly raised interest to residents. One hopes that washing the dock will keep everyone along the shore safe. Although, more West Coast beaches could see more tsunami debris in the coming months.

                        Interesting look inside Guantanamo Prison by Mr.Isikoff which showed how the prisoners held at the facility seem to be having alot of privileges such as cable tv, a soccer field and educational classes among many other things. Much money being funded to upgrade the facility at the expense of the taxpayers. What to do with the prisoners being held there is the real question. Time will tell.

                        Thank You for the broadcast Mr.Williams. Look forward to Rock Center! Peace to You and to All!

                        Be Well Everyone!
