Memorial Day.
It’s more than just another day off, a day to go shopping or enjoy a barbecue.
Take a moment to remember our fallen heroes.
Michelle Malkin has a great post about Memorial Day.
Teach your kids about it.
As a veteran myself, I salute those who have fallen and those who are still in harm’s way today.
God bless them and their families and keep them safe.
Here’s something that’ll throw some serious cold water on Obama’s plans to put Gitmo terrorists into our prisons here in the U.S. It seems the prisons are fertile breeding grounds for would-be terrorists. I’ll let Michelle Malkin explain:
As I’ve reported previously, U.S. Bureau of Prison reports have warned for years that our civilian detention facilities are major breeding grounds for Islamic terrorists. There are still not enough legitimately trained and screened Muslim religious leaders to counsel an estimated 9,000 U.S. prison inmates who demand Islamic services. Under the Bush administration, the federal prison bureaucracy had no policy in place to screen out extremist, violence-advocating Islamic chaplains; failed to properly screen the many contractors and volunteers who help provide religious services to Islamic inmates; and shied away from religious profiling.
Bush isn’t off the hook, as you can see. But just as with spending, Obummer’s answer to something Bush screwed up is to make it worse.
A former mental patient claiming to be an anti-war Iraq veteran got busted. Michelle Malkin has the details:
“Rick Duncan” of Colorado Springs was a prominent anti-war activist who claimed to have served in Iraq on three tours of duty AND survived the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon. He has now been unmasked as a lying mental patient.
Michelle Malkin also notes he’s not the first. This dude had been quoted by media extensively as an authority on veterans’ issues and he was a fake. No doubt it happened because the so-called “journalists” he spoke to wanted to believe he was who he said he was. Finding an anti-war vet, even a fake one, is a like winning the lottery for the left.
Lookee what some economists and other people who know what they’re talking about have to say about the Obummer budget:

Scare Force One flies past the Statue of Liberty
The White House aide who authorized the controversial Air Force One photo-op flight last week around the Statue of Liberty is out of a job.
President Obama has accepted the resignation of Louis Caldera, the director of the White House Military Office, the Daily News learned Friday.
A secretary of the Army in the Clinton administration, Caldera took the fall for the public relations fiasco arising from the April 27 flyover, which was designed to replace a publicity photo of Air Force One flying past Mount Rushmore with a similar shot of Obama’s 747 jumbo jet over the Statue of Liberty.
Michelle Malkin notes:
Caldera’s disappearance under the Obama bus does not and should not end questions about the origin of the p.r. photo-op mission’s request, who participated, how it went down, and where protocol failed. And remember: Someone was planning a second flyover photo-op in Washington, D.C.
Great. A $327,000 publicity stunt that scared a nervous city almost cost double that.
