Major Taliban Operative Captured in Pakistan

Mulvi Kabir, the former Taliban governor in Afghanistan's Nangahar Province, and a key figure in the Taliban regime was recently captured in Pakistan, two senior U.S. officials tell Fox News.

Kabir, considered to be among the top ten most wanted Taliban leaders, was apprehended in the Naw Shera district of Pakistan's Northwest Frontier Province by Pakistani police forces in recent days.

Story Here.

p.s. The tied is quickly changing in Pakistan and Afghanistan. I wounder if the recent captures of high ranking Taliban leaders has increased the intel and down fall of the Taliban. "Mr. President?! Mr. President?! Are we "interviewing" these people nicely with milk, cookies, and lawyers in hand?" Follow up question: Where are these people being held? Gitmo? Oh! that's right we are closing Gitmo! NY?? IL?? Any Guesses?

Reid tries to resurrect public option

Ahead of next week's White House health reform summit, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has signed on to a plan to try to resurrect the public insurance option in the Senate and signaled a willingness to use a 51-vote majority if needed to get it through.

Story Here.

p.s. The Republicans are walking into a trap with this health care reform summit at the WhiteHouse next week. The American people have overwhelmingly rejected government run health care. The Republicans have the chance to stand firm and say, "we hear you and understand." Instead, they are giving ground by meeting at the WhiteHouse with the Dems and President to talk about how to move forward on government run health care! When will they stop and understand we don't want it?! I think they are making a big mistake and its going to hurt. Time to make our voice heard again.

Even Boulder CO Finds It Isn’t Easy Going Green

The city of Boulder, CO is superlative in many ways: It is one of the most educated, most affluent, most liberal and most environmentally conscious cities around. According to an article in a recent Wall Street Journal, though, Boulder is having a tough time converting its citizens’ tree-hugging attitudes into meaningful actions.

Thus exposed is a fundamental aspect of human nature. Whatever we may say we like, People Hate Change. It’s one thing to adopt a self-flattering pose to impress a pollster or to cop a public image, but quite another voluntarily to sacrifice money, time or convenience for a nebulous collective benefit.

Ken Tomlinson: Can a Hoosier farmer produce another Massachusetts miracle for Republicans?

A notable buzz surrounded youthful Indiana State Sen. Marlin Stutzman as he was escorted around this week’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) by activist Donna Weisner. “Back in Indiana, they say he’s our Scott Brown,” she said proudly.

Stutzman supporters elatedly boasted news of a Rasmussen poll that gives Stutzman a ten-point lead over the likely Democrat nominee for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Evan Bayh.

All this is a stunning development for the young farmer and businessman who only four years ago was the youngest member of the Indiana legislature. In Washington power circles former Sen. Dan Coats has been all but anointed the GOP nominee for the Bayh seat.

p.s. You in Indian need to get behind this man. He is a conservative business men who true principles.

Australian Airport Staff Involoved In Smuggled

Organized crime syndicates have infiltrated Australian airports, with corrupt baggage handlers, customs officials and airline staff suspected of smuggling drugs and firearms into the country, The Sunday Telegraph of Sydney reported.

Story Here.

p.s. Anyone surprised? Evil is not brought to an end by tolerance, but by conflict and thereby defeat. Any guess on if this is happening in the US?

No! They Didn't!?

I guess this is what the President thinks of the Dalai Lama...force him out the back door with all the other trash so that China does not get the wrong idea about their meeting. Heaven forbid that we cause a problem with the ChiCom's. But what message does that send to the rest of the world? Now I have to ask the question: Was the President's meeting with the Dalai Lama "real" or just a photo op.? To show the world that he "embraces everyone?" Now consider that no pictures were taken of the President and Dalai Lama together and what do you get? This picture....

It's Starting: Fed Raises Discount Rate

The Federal Reserve decided Thursday to boost the rate banks pay for emergency loans. The action is part of a broader move to pull back the extraordinary aid it provided to fight the financial crisis.

The action won't directly affect borrowing costs for millions of Americans. But with the worst of the crisis over, it brings the Fed's main crisis lending program closer to normal.

The Fed chose to bump up the so-called "discount" lending rate by one-quarter point to 0.75 percent. It takes effect Friday.

Jobless Claims, Inflation Jump as Economy Wobbles

The number of U.S. workers filing new applications for unemployment insurance unexpectedly surged last week, while producer prices increased sharply in January, raising potential hurdles for the economic recovery.

Initial claims for state unemployment benefits increased 31,000 to 473,000, the Labor Department said on Thursday. That compared to market expectations for 430,000.

p.s. Obama's stimulus is one year old yesterday...did anyone think increased government control of the markets was going to work? Please. Prediction - Inflation will increase, jobless rate will increase, until government decreases. Just wait and see.
