Mike Walsh was a guest on Jim’s show today, and he told us of a situation happening in Arizona.  Secretary of State, Ken Bennett, has asked the state of Hawaii to confirm that the state has a valid birth certificate for President Obama.  Arizona doesn’t want the certificate, just confirmation that it exists.

And, I don’t like nuclear power either

Last week, without much media attention, President Obama, this time via Secretary of the Interior, Ken Salazar, put the nix on certain uranium mining on federal lands in northern Arizona.  Sadly, this too, is political pandering, as, apparently nuclear power is as toxic to the left as is coal and oil power.

Tragedy in Tuscon – the people matter

By Steve McGough / January 10, 2011 /

I was not tempted at all to jump into posting as events in Tuscon, Arizona unfolded Saturday afternoon. It was time for quiet reflection to remember those killed and injured, as well as those who stepped up to help immediately after the shooting and the first responders.

Judge blocks portion of Arizona immigration law SB 1070 (Update)

By Steve McGough / July 28, 2010 /

A federal judge has issued a temporary restraining order on portions of the law, including the part where law enforcement should make reasonable attempt to check immigration status, and act accordingly during lawful contact.

United States v. Arizona

By SoundOffSister / July 6, 2010 /

Today, Attorney General Eric Holder, on behalf of the Obama administration, filed the long promised suit against Arizona seeking to have the new Arizona immigration law declared unconstitutional.  The suit was filed in Federal District Court in Phoenix.

“Lawful Contact” did not need to be redefined in Arizona illegal immigration bill

By Steve McGough / April 30, 2010 /

MSNBC makes more crap up … “Arizona does not celebrate MLK Day”

By Steve McGough / January 17, 2011 /

Come on you dopes. Some state had to be the last one, and even though Arizona’s governor at the time (a Republican) certainly did not have good standing with minorities and was at times considered an embarrassment for the state, Arizona voted to recognize the Martin Luther King holiday almost 20 years ago.
