Ronald Reagan 25th Innauguraversary

Twenty-five years ago today, one of our greatest presidents took the oath of office and began changing America, and the World, for the better. The Iranian embassy hostage crisis ended that day with the release of Americans held for 444 days by the terrorist government of Iran, including the current Iranian president, one of the four most dangerous men in the world.

Under President Reagan, “Reaganomics” was born, and prosperity ensued. Indeed, prosperity persists today under President Bush, who has the same perspectives on the economy.

President Reagan’s foreign policies helped to end the cold war, thus changing the world for the better. Many nations formerly enslaved by communist oppression, threw off their bounds to become allies of America.

New Horizons off to Pluto

Today, the New Horizons spacecraft was launched from the Cape Canaveral Launch Complex. It looked spectacular on NASA’s streaming video!

From NASA:

NASA – New Horizons

After launch aboard a Lockheed-Martin Atlas V rocket, the New Horizons spacecraft set out on a journey to the edge of the solar system. Liftoff occurred Jan. 19, 2006 at 2:00:00 p.m. EST from Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. New Horizons is headed for a distant rendezvous with the mysterious planet Pluto almost a decade from now.

Space artist Dan Durda was commissioned to do artist’s renditions for the project and thinks that New Horizons could encounter this view of Pluto and Charon while looking back toward the Sun when it arrives in a decade:

Damsel Sends You a Glass Chapel

After some rain moved through the area the day before, we took a drive to Palos Verdes last weekend and stopped at the Wayfarer’s Chapel on a spectacular day.

Wayfarers Chapel

With its breathtaking Pacific Ocean view and original Lloyd Wright architecture, the Wayfarers Chapel was conceived as a respite for all wayfarers on the journey of life. Here all people may sit and be nurtured by the beauty of nature and enjoy peaceful meditation. No one realized that this simple idea would produce a world-renowned sacred site. The power of Wayfarers Chapel is a blend of the sacred purpose and beauty that people experience. This quiet beauty is emphasized by the openness and echoing of nature in the elegant glass structure.

Malice Aforethought

Senator Hillary Clinton (Dingbat – NY), when appearing before a black audience on MLK day, sold out America in a divisive attempt to identify the Congress of the United States as a racist organization. My opinion is that Ms. Clinton is a manipulative and deceitful person, bent only on her personal success, with little regard for the black, or any other community. A closer look at the inner properties of such a person, may reveal the true nature of that person’s character.

This little tribute to her underlying character is dedicated to those who speak the truth about Ms. Clinton’s actual agenda: bloggers and responsible journalists.

U.S. Airstrike Not a Bust

It sounds like last week’s attack on an Islamic terror conclave in western Pakistan may not have been a bust after all. The Provincial Government indicates that there were at least four foreign terrorists killed in the strike along with 14 other “collateral” victims.

My opinion? Anybody harboring terrorists anywhere, makes them a valid target, be they nations or villages. The “women and children” killed were likely indoctrinated by Al Qaeda extremists and fall into the same terrorist category by virtue of their “hate America” mantra, often taught from birth. I think the strike actually got eighteen terrorists who were committed enemies of the United States.

Good shot guys!

From Fox News:

Pakistan: Four Foreign Terrorists Killed in U.S. Airstrike

PESHAWAR, Pakistan — At least four foreign terrorists died in the purported U.S. airstrike aimed at Al Qaeda’s No. 2 leader in a Pakistani border village, the provincial government said Tuesday.

A statement, issued by the administration of Pakistan’s semi-autonomous tribal regions bordering Afghanistan, also said that between 10 and 12 foreign extremists had been invited to the dinner at the village hit in Friday’s attack.

It was the first official confirmation by Pakistani authorities that foreign militants were killed in the attack on the village of Damadola. Women and children also died, triggering outrage in this Islamic nation.

The statement did not identify who the foreigners may have been or who was the target of the missile strike.

Pakistani intelligence officials have said Ayman al-Zawahiri, Usama bin Laden’s top lieutenant, had been invited to a dinner in the targeted village of Damadola to mark an Islamic holiday but did not show up and sent some aides instead.
