Debra Media is running to become the Governor of Texas.
Medina ran as a Republican in order to gain more exposure for her views regarding economic policy and the way she feels government should function. She went on Glenn Beck’s radio show because he largely agrees with her economic viewpoints.
He did feel the need to ask her whether 9/11 was a government conspiracy. She was unable to directly answer the question at the time she appeared on the show. Medina said she wanted to defend people’s rights to question things. After the show was over and she realized the answer may hurt her electorally she decided to put out a statement saying there was no government involved in 9/11.
Debra Medina has been a longtime Libertarian activist in the state of Texas. She was influential in organizing and raising money for the Presidential candidacy of Congressman Ron Paul of Texas.
Ron Paul and many of his supporters have taken the time to really question the wisdom of the United States and its foreign policy.
This also means that some people who have latched on to the advocacy of Ron Paul also question whether the United States government was involved in the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
About a week after Martin Luther King Day a new basketball league is being proposed. The league would be white’s only. The league is trying to get basketball teams in 12 cities, their next target is Augusta. The basketball league is professional and is called the “All-American Basketball Alliance.”
“Only players that are natural born United States citizens with both parents of Caucasian race are eligible to play in the league,” a statement about the league said.
The leagues commissioner, Don Moose Lewis, said that white’s are the minority now and this is just a league for white players to play basketball. The league is actually based in Atlanta, a city known for haveing an African-American majority. There are a lot of leagues and other groups that are blacked based only. So maybe this is just the next step because white’s are becomming the minority in many cities and states. If there can be so many groups dedicated to African-American’s then I think white’s should have one of their own.
The league already has many skeptics saying that it is racisist and the ABBA is getting a bad rep already. People have many different opinions about the league and racism.

The latest news reported on January 15, 2010, covering Rush Limbaugh’s latest high school graduate’s analysis of the world scene is that he is now accusing President Barack Obama of using the Haitian natural disaster for political purposes.
Rush Limbaugh’s comments were quoted directly by many news channels and reports including the Internet. He is quoted as saying on his radio talk show yesterday that, “I do believe that everything is political to this president. Everything this president sees is a political opportunity, including Haiti, and he will use it to burnish his credentials with minorities in this country and around the world, and to accuse Republicans of having no compassion.”
No republican other than Rush Limbaugh has made any attack on President OBama’s allocating $100 million for Haitian relief and to making humanitarian efforts “top priority.”
Other reports are that Haitian political infrastructure is totally corrupt and those monies could be stolen rather than used to help the victims of the earthquake.
Mexican federal troops made further progress in their war against drug lords in their country. Teodoro Garcia Simental is one of Mexico’s most powerful and brutal drug traffickers. Federal troops raided his seaside home on Mexico’s Baja Peninsula on Tuesday and arrested the man known as “El Teo”. The arrest of El Teo is the second time in less than a month that Mexican authorities have taken down one of the country’s biggest traffickers.
Garcia’s seaside home is located near the southern tip of the Baja Peninsula. Mexican troops raided the location just before dawn on Tuesday. Garcia’s home on the peninsula was used as his base of operations where is gang members would bring in planeloads of drugs to smuggle across the United States border. Garcia, who is in his mid-30s, is connected to the deaths of at least 300 people and solidified his grip on power by disposing of adversaries in particularly grisly fashion. Garcia was known behead his rivals, hang their bodies from bridges, or even dissolve their bodies in caustic soda. Garcia never shied away from killing local police in Tijuana and has even attempted to kill Rommel Morena, the attorney general of Baja California.
Garcia’s capture shows further progress in Mexico’s electronic surveillance techniques that have been cultivated with the assistance of the U.S. Anti-drug officials from the U.S. have been aiding the Mexican’s over the last five months while they tracked the movements of Garcia prior to his capture.
This week President Obama announced that $2.3 billion in tax credits will be funded to companies in the clean energy manufacturing sector. More than 180 companies will be eligible, about one-third of which are small businesses.
The companies that are receiving the tax credit will be building manufacturing facilities in 43 states across the US. These tax credits are hoped to directly create over 17,000 new jobs. Senior administration officials said that these credits are designed to also attract more than $5 billion in investments from the private sector, which is hoped to create an additional 41,000 jobs.
“Building a robust clean energy sector is how we will create the jobs of the future. The Recovery Act awards I am announcing today will help close the clean energy gap that has grown between America and other nations while creating good jobs, reducing our carbon emissions and increasing our energy security,” said President Obama, during his remarks at the White House.
Vice President Joe Biden added, “By investing in innovative clean energy manufacturing projects like these, we are not only creating good jobs now, but helping lay a new foundation to keep America competitive in the 21st century economy. This is what the Recovery Act is all about.”
