Police raid RNC protesters home in St.Paul ahead of GOP convention.

Authorities have searched several homes in Minneapolis and one in St. Paul Saturday ahead of the opening of the Republican National Convention.
St. Paul, Minn. — Police said the raids were the result of a long-term investigation into a group of more than 30 anarchists that call themselves the RNC Welcoming Committee.
Police said some members of the group are interested in committing serious, criminal acts.


Authorities said the anarchists use weapons to try and hurt police. During raids this weekend they have confiscated makeshift maps and weapons, including machetes, hatchets, knives, metal pipes and homemade devices believed to be used to disable buses. They also found buckets of urine that police believe anarchists were going to throw at them.
St. Paul police, said city officers helped the county carry out a search warrant as part of an ongoing criminal investigation.
"We've known all along that there are people coming to our city who are not planning to conduct themselves in a lawful manner," Walsh said. "This is an affirmation of that."

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is McCain choice for VP.......

John McCain shook up the US presidential race on Friday with the surprising announcement that he had picked little-known Sarah Palin, the 44-year-old governor of Alaska, as his vice-presidential running mate.Palin, 44, a self-described "hockey mom," is a conservative first-term governor of Alaska with strong anti-abortion views, a record of reform and fiscal conservatism and an outsider's perspective on Washington.

Elected in 2006, she is Alaska's first woman governor. She is also an avid sportswoman who would bring youth and vitality to the ticket. McCain turns 72 on Friday and would be the oldest person to take office for a first term in the White House if elected.
Palin was chosen over more experienced and better known contenders as the Arizona senator grabbed the spotlight away from Democratic rival Barack Obama one day after Obama accepted his party's presidential nomination before 75,000 flag-waving supporters in Denver.

Clinton did her part now its up to the Obamabots to win or lose.....

They call her the worst possible names, they lie and call her husband a racist, after all he did for African Americans and minorities in this country,and for me one of the Clintons biggest fan, that was the last straw that broke the camel's back, Obama and his supporters are just like every other politicians running for office, they will do and say anything to win political office.



But last night at the democratic convention no winner of a hard-fought, down-to-the-wire presidential nomination battle ever received a stronger boost from his vanquished foe than Senator Barack Obama picked up from Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. Now its up to them to win or lose the election to the republicans.
Obama and his supporters have been so rude to Sen Clinton and the former president, i still cannot find it in my heart to forgive them, whatever happens in the next few months leading up to the elections is any ones guess, but if you ask me, i still say Sen. Clinton was the best qualify to be president in the democratic party, and Obama in his arrogance refused to make her his running mate because his ego was too big for him, now the elections is his to lose.

The Legendary Loretta Lynn.....

Country legend Loretta Lynn is One of the most successful singers in modern country music, she has a distinct voice and a style reminiscent of earlier traditional country singers, which by the way i think were really the golden years of country music.Born in a coal miner's shack, in 1935 Lynn married at age 13 and bore the first of six children the next year. some of my favorite songs from her were done in collaboration with another country music legend Conway Twitty.
here is a video of them performing their 1971 song call after the fire is gone...

Loretta has churned out an astonishing 38 studio records--from 1963 to 2004--and that doesn't include all those studio collaboration records she's done She was recently inducted into The Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Toby Keith the angry American......

I am not really a big Toby Keith fan, but i must say the guy sense of patriotism and songs are sometimes so inspiring, its makes you want to get up and do something to help the men and women of the U.S armed forces, over the past weeks i have even entertained the thought of joining the Minnesota national guards believe it or not.
here is one of my favorite Toby Keith's song courtesy of the red,white and blue...

Sometimes i am amaze at the level of hostility towards army recruiters who are just doing their job by some of these anti-war groups, i mean what are these people thinking?.....
The fact of the matter is the policy makers in Washington should have used better judgement before sending the troops to the middle east. but the men and women of the armed forces are there now, and the country have already sacrificed billions in material and human lives.

it is only fair then that we all support the troops and make them all come home thinking that at least their countrymen supports them and it was all worth the fight.

Bring the troops home, but bring them home victorious..............

Those Good old days.......

I grew up in the 80s and back then everything was so simple, now every where you turn it just seem the whole world is going mad, if its not the talk of war somewhere in the world, there is flood,sickness or some other depressing thing.
today i found this video of country legend Charlie Pride and it reminded me so much of some of those good times. My Mom had an LP of this song called Kiss an Angel good morning, and it just brought back tons of memories from back when i was a kid growing up in Liberia, West Africa.
Here is the video of Mr Pride singing his hit song.
