A Muslim Woman who lost her small claims case during a 2006 Hearing in Hamtramck, Michigan (near Detroit) after refusing to remove her veil during testimony, took her case before a U.S. District Court Judge this week, hoping to overturn the Small Claims Judge Decision.
The Michigan Attorney General filed a motion asking U.S. District Judge John Feikens to dismiss Ginnah Muhammad law suit against 31st District Judge Paul Paruk, on the grounds that federal courts lack jurisdiction to review small claims decisions, that Judges have immunity from law suits for their decisions and that Judge Paruk's Order did not interfere with Muhammad's ability to practice her religion.
Muhammad lost her small claims case because she refused an Order to remove her veil during testimony so that the Judge could see her face and assess her credibility. Judge Paruk gave Muhammad the choice, remove her veil or he was going to dismiss her case. Muhammad offered to remove her veil and testify before a female Judge but Judge Paruk is the only Judge in Hamtramck.
In the end, Muhammad's case was dismissed without prejudice, the Defendant who had filed a Counterclaim against Muhammad prevailed and the Plaintiff was Ordered to pay a $2,083 judgment.
Hamas in a new video seen here claim that the Jews planned the Holocaust to get rid of disabled and handicapped Jews to avoid having to provide for their medical needs.
The Hamas TV educational program broadcast last week taught that the Holocaust was a Zionist plot with two main objectives:
1. To eliminate Jews by sending them to death camps so they would not be a burden on the future State of Israel;
2. To make it appear that the Jews were persecuted so that they could benefit by International sympathy.
This is another despicable example of Islamic Jihad attempt to rewrite history in its denial of the Holocaust.

Is there a shortage in supplies? No says Victor Shum, Analyst for Purvin & Gertz Oil. "Gasoline inventories are higher than the historical average at this time of the year and gasoline fundamentals are actually weakening in the U.S. so there is really no need to worry about supply being too tight." More here Business Week.
Sticking it to the American consumer, Oil company executives are blinded by profits and they know they can buy off politicians such as Barry Obama, who continues to claim not to accept money from the oil industry. (Obama has accepted more than $213,000 from individuals who work for oil companies.)

China has rescued scores of children working in Dongguan at a manufacturing base in Guangdong Province.
A young girl is seen here crying after being rescued by authorities where she had been forced into slavery to work. More than 1,000 children between the ages of 9 and 16 had been lured to work as cheap labor, being reported in China here and by Reuters India here "Chinese children sold like cabbages into slavery."
In the town of Shipai, Dongguan an investigation is underway, so far Police have rescued more than 100 children in the town and have arrested several people.
The children were earning between 2.5 Yuan and 3.8 Yuan per hour (about .35 cents to .51 cents USD) and were forced to work long hours.
Children were provided with a rice meal every two or three days as their only source of nutrition.
Wal-Mart stores are serving millions of people around the world daily and as a good neighbor, this retail giant contributes a lot to the communities where they operate, from increased employment opportunities to helping working families save money.
Seen here, Wal-Mart Beijing. This American company continues to grow and expand in China and is scheduled to open a new store in Shishi, Fujian Province, giving its residents access to advanced retail services while promoting economic growth and business development.
As this American company continues to grow and expand with recent quarterly income of $4.096 Billion Dollars, an increase of 4% from the same period last year, this is not only good news for American workers but demonstrates that global trade is healthy for an expanding and resilient U.S. economy.

Last week I wrote here that CNN Jack Cafferty called Chinese "a bunch of Goons & Thugs" which sparked protests in Los Angeles and around the world.
A group of 14 Attorneys in Beijing have initiated a law suit naming CNN as a Defendant for violating the"dignity of the Chinese people." One of the Attorneys representing the Plaintiff's said that Cafferty's remarks "seriously violated and abused the reputation and dignity of the Plaintiff's as Chinese people and caused serious spiritual and psychological injury to the Plaintiff's."
In New York, litigation was commenced against CNN by a Beautician Lydia Leung & Li Lilan, the two Women are being represented by Ming Hai. The Plaintiff's are seeking $1.3 Billion Dollars in Damages or $1.00 for each Chinese person.
A hotel in Xuzhou Jiangsu Province has now banned all CNN programs as a result of the disparaging comment by Jack Cafferty.
Death from a broken heart, research published this month by Cass Business School in London has found that the chances of dying in the year immediately following the death of a spouse could be up to twice as likely for Women and six times as Likely for Men.
The findings demonstrate the strong dependence between the lives of couples.
I have made it a personal practice to tell the people that I care for that I do love them. Likewise my really good friends are an extension of my family and I remind them regularly that they are truly special and that I love them.
The research suggests that those who feel their lives are meaningless and hopeless are particularly at risk.
Israel destroyed a Nuclear Reactor in Syria, September 6, 2007 late at night the CIA confirmed. The Syrian core reactor design was the same as that of North Korea's reactor at Yongbyon, including a virtually identical configuration and number of holes for fuel rods. Lawmakers will be shown a video shot by Israeli Intelligence of images from inside the facility, which shows North Korean workers and the Nuclear Reactor core.

Subsequent to the attack, Syria bulldozed the area and has constructed a new building there.

The chase for Super Delegates within the Democratic Party comes down to cash and who has the most and which candidate gives away more money than the other.
While Clinton had emerged a year ago as the top fund raiser of either party, she has been trailing Obama in fundraising.
Obama has been able to pick up more Super Delegate endorsements as he has more cash to spread around.
While both Democrat's deny they are are buying votes, it is painfully obvious that money talks and it is making a mockery out of the idea that Super Delegates are independent, deciding on their nominee out of conscience and in the best interest of their party.

French Senate President Christian Poncelet yesterday gives Jin Jing "the smiling angel in a wheelchair" who lost her right leg to cancer as a child, an apology from French President Nicolas Sarkozy, in Shanghai yesterday, she was attacked carrying the Olympic Flame in Paris two weeks ago.
In his letter, Sarkozy expresses his apology to the 27 year old wheel chair Fencer saying, "I would like to express my deep feelings to you towards the way you were shoved in Paris on that day you were holding the Olympic flame...you showed outstanding courage, which honors you and through you, all your country."
Some have suggested that the Chinese government was behind the attack on Jin Jing, using provocateurs to stage violence and then blame it on Tibetan protesters. I disagree.
While protesters have managed to turn the Torch Relay into a public relations disaster, I agree with EastSouthWestNorth, that the Chinese government, "...are unlikely to ever accomplish this level of success no matter how hard they try. Faced with the beautiful heroine with one leg, how is any liberal dissident on behalf of Tibet independence going to work inside China? This was a bonanza handed to China...by pro-Tibet protesters."
On the 31 March, I wrote here that I am opposed to the protests and calls for a boycott of any part of the Olympics. Boycotts are ineffective and only serve to create bitterness between people.
Jin Jing said yesterday subsequent to receiving the letter of apology, "...when I joined the torch relay in Paris, I not only passed on the Olympic flame but also the Chinese peoples friendship..."
Ann Coulter who endorsed Hillary Clinton for President in January, fell from grace and has been dissed by Dick Armey has found herself relegated to a restroom for her latest book signing. She appears to be happy in her new surroundings.

CNN Jack Cafferty who has called Chinese "a bunch of Goons & Thugs" sparked protests in Los Angeles over the weekend with demands that he be fired for his bigoted remarks.
Lake Wang told the L.A. Times, "We understand free speech...but what if he said that about other racial groups, I think he would be fired..."
CNN on behalf of Cafferty made a lame apology saying, "It was not Mr. Cafferty's nor CNN's intent to cause offense to the Chinese people and we would apologize to anyone who has interpreted the comments in this way. Cafferty was offering his strongly held opinion of the Chinese government, not China's people....CNN is a net work that reports the news in an objective and balanced fashion...as part of our coverage, we also employ Commentators who provide robust opinions that generate debate."
CNN claims they are "the most trusted name in news." CNN--True Lies
"...CNN asked a reporter to interview ordinary Chinese in Beijing. So the reporter asked a mid-aged lady on the street of Beijing whether she knew the torch relay in Paris. The woman replied in Chinese that she read it from the newspaper. The CNN Reporter in Beijing then turned back and told the anchor---as well as the entire audience whoever watched the news at that moment, "no there is no news coverage at all." It's the attitude that these mainstream broadcast their lies and virtually f*** the brains of the entire audience right in front of them..."
Words mean something Cafferty & CNN, have demonstrated their prejudice, arrogance, ignorance and hostility towards an entire culture, which is unacceptable and not only hurtful but disrespectful. Cafferty has demonstrated no shame and CNN's apology lacks sincerity as does their reporting.

Barry Obama flip flops on wearing a Flag Pin on his Lapel.
Obama demonstrating he is not now patriotic ?
Last year Obama said that it wasn't necessary to wear the flag pin "...that became a substitute for I think true patriotism...I decided I won't wear that pin on my chest."
During an interview with WABC Radio Sunday, top Hamas political Adviser Ahmed Yousef said the Terrorist group supports Obama's foreign policy vision, "We don't mind---actually we like Obama, we hope he will win the election...he has a vision to change America to make it in a position to lead the world community..."
God uses whatever we do to mold us into whatever He wants us to be---our attitude about our work will determine our success. No job is perfect and no work place is always wonderful but we can learn to choose our inner attitude about our work regardless of outer circumstances of our work place.
What would happen if we would begin to view our job as a tool in the hands of God ?

The longer Barry Obama spends on the campaign trail, the Nuttier he gets.
Last night during the Whizzy Dizzy Democratic Debate, Barry Obama compares pro-life Conservatives with Domestic Terrorists---Obama can't escape that it is he that is friends with Domestic Terrorist William Ayers.
William Ayers was the head of the Weather Ground, a radical group during the 1960's and 1970's that set off bombs at the Capitol and Pentagon and was quoted in the NY Times on September 11, 2001 that he "...didn't go far enough...doesn't regret it at all...could have done more."
How can a man running for President have anything whatsoever to do with a Domestic Terrorist?
