EIghteen-month-old Riyanna has been called a lot of things: cute, adorable and now ... a suspected terrorist.
She was called that on Tuesday night at the Ft Lauderdale Airport. She and her parents had just boarded a JetBlue flight when an airline employee approached them and asked them to get off the plane, saying representatives from the Transportation Security Agency wanted to speak to them.

How shall we mark this day, a day and an event that brought many of us together in a common goal, 100 years later?
I say lets start now, in addition to spreading the word about that date in the blogs and other social media, we should be calling those representatives TODAY who have yet to sign on to co-sponsor H.R. 459.
I sent this as an EMAIL to the 912 & Tea Party groups that I am connected with!!

Thank you Speaker Gingrich for NOT endorsing Governor Romney!
Today, former Speaker of the House and presidential candidate for the Republican nomination, Newt Gingrich gracefully suspended his campaign but did not formally endorse former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney for president for reasons political analysts state are Governor Romney’s lack of conservative credentials. Speaker Gingrich won 2 states, his home state of Georgia and South Carolina with an unexpected, landslide victory.
With Speaker Gingrich’s departure as a candidate in this presidential primary cycle it would seem that Governor Romney has cleared the last major hurdle toward capturing the Republican nomination. This is NOT the case.
The Department of Labor is poised to put the finishing touches on a rule that would apply child-labor laws to children working on family farms, prohibiting them from performing a list of jobs on their own families’ land.

"Newt Gingrich hinted he may withdraw from the presidential race if he has a poor showing in the Delaware primary Tuesday – a state where he has been actively campaigning for several weeks.
"I think we need to take a deep look at what we are doing," Gingrich told NBC News in an exclusive interview on Monday. "We will be in North Carolina tomorrow night and we will look and see what the results are."
He acknowledged that he would have to "reassess" his campaign depending on how he fares in Delaware, a winner-take-all state with 17 delegates at stake.
"A new news show hosted by Julian Assange debuted yesterday on RT, the global media outlet funded by the Russian government and carried by several of America’s largest cable providers. His first show was devoted to an interview with Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah (video below), who has not given a television interview since 2006. The combination of Assange and a Russian-owned TV network has triggered a predictable wave of snide, smug attacks from American media figures, attacks that found their purest expression in this New York Times review yesterday of Assange’s new program by Alessandra Stanley."

Naomi Wolf thinks so. In The Guardian, she writes that the Court's logic — that perhaps a strip search could have prevented 9/11 — makes no sense on its own. "How would strip searching him have prevented the attack? Did Justice Kennedy imagine that plans to blow up the Twin Towers had been concealed in a body cavidy?" she asks. She thinks that giving authorities the right to remove citizens' clothes for flimsy reasons is tantamount to giving the government the power to break down and dehumanize its citizens.
Enforced nudity has a long history of being used as a tool to keep people feeling weak and subjugated. Female slaves, for example, were placed naked on the auction block. Prisoners of war are frequently stripped and emasculated to keep their morale down. Prisoners at Guantanamo Bay have their clothes removed at whim.

Another one out. Reportedly based on campaign information that he could not win Pennsylvania, although the official campaign talking point is speculated by some to be on the basis of his ailing daughter.
Inside sources say the former Senator is expected to endorse Mitt Romney.
A senior source in the Mitt Romney campaign confirming that Romney received a call from Santorum today.
Santorum reportedly states that he intends to play an active part in the GOP National Convention.

"...we will suspend our campaign effective today, we are not done fighting."
In his speech at the press conference announcing his decision, no official endorsements were made or announced.
US Army Preparing for Martial Law Scenario in US? Civil Disturbance and Mock Riot Drills In Washington State
The Intel Hub | April 9, 2012
For years the alternative media has warned about the US military possibly being used against the American people in a time of economic collapse or any sort of martial law scenario.
Drills such as Vigilant Guard 2010 have brought widespread attention to the fact that portions of our own military are training to take on crowds of American citizens demanding food and Constitutional rights in a time of crisis.
Now, a new release by the website Public Intelligence, once again confirms that as recently as February and March of 2012, US troops at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington were conducting training scenarios for a civil disturbance domestic quick reaction force.
A series of photos of the drills shows US troops with crowd control riot shields on the opposite side of actors portraying what can only be described as American citizens.
