US birthrate plummets to lowest in 25 years as poor economy puts would-be parents off having children.

(London Daily Mail) - The U.S. birth rate has plummeted to its lowest point in 25 years as would-be parents postpone having babies due to the poor economy.

The average number of births per woman has fallen 12 per cent from a peak of 2.12 in 2007, when the economy began to falter.

Now the rate is predicted to hit just 1.87 this year and 1.86 next year, the lowest since 1987, according to birthrate forecasters Demographic Intelligence.

USA To Become A People-Free Gun Reserve.

(NewsBiscuit.com) - Faced with the National Rifle Association’s (NRA) compelling argument that ‘guns don’t kill people, people do’, President Obama has decided to ban people from the United States.

‘It has been far too easy to obtain people in America’ said Obama. ‘While we have tried to limit people through immigration policies, people nakedly get round this by simply breeding. With this unchecked proliferation of people, guns have no trouble finding a person to fire them. Shockingly, in isolated areas people even outnumber guns.’

Under Obama’s people control plan, all Americans will be relocated to Canada, and all guns will remain in the United States. ‘Without people to fire the guns, and without people to fire guns at, shootings will completely disappear’ noted Obama.

While America will generally be a people-free gun reserve, guns will be able to have occasional visitors if they obtain a concealed person permit and undertake a training course in safely handling humans. The training course will cover topics such as ‘the loner who still lives with their mom’ and ‘hip hop stars – real anger or just an act?’

NRA members are pleased that their tireless advocacy has headed off the evil of gun control. ‘Being forced to move to Canada is a cruel and unusual punishment, but it’s worth it to know my 183 guns are still protected under the US Constitution’ said NRA member Jed Hicks. ‘But I will miss my guns – simple pleasures such as ‘road rage’ will now be just hot air and empty words.’

Canadian reaction to the plan has been generally positive on account of the expected boost to the economy. However, the NRA argument that ‘if someone carried out a mass killing with a baseball bat, it would be illogical to ban baseball bats’ has caused widespread alarm in the harp seal community.

House Passes Ron Paul's Fed Audit Measure.

(WASHINGTON TIMES) — In a move that serves as a capstone to Rep. Ron Paul’s colorful career, the House on Wednesday approved a bill that would let Congress’s chief investigators conduct a full audit of the Federal Reserve’s shrouded decision-making process.

The overwhelming 327-98 vote sends the bill to the Senate where Majority Leader Harry Reid, Nevada Democrat, has previously expressed support for an audit — though it’s unclear he’ll carve out time for the legislation this year.

But House passage already marks a high-water mark for those who for years have been pushing for an audit, led by Mr. Paul. The Texas Republican rode the issue to prominence in two different presidential campaigns, and said the bill is a chance for Congress to begin to reclaim the money and banking powers it is given in the Constitution, but had delegated to the Fed.

“It is up to us to reassert ourselves,” Mr. Paul said during floor debate Tuesday.

Why Same-Sex Marriage Is Unconstitutional.

(Newswithviews.com) - The National Organization for Women’s long campaign for same-sex marriage is unconstitutional on its face. Same-sex marriage has been the primary long-term goal the National Organization for Women (N.O.W) since January, 1988 when feminist leader Sheila Cronin issued a mandate to feminists: "The simple fact is that every woman must be willing to be identified as a lesbian to be fully feminist." Her message was clear. You do not have to be a lesbian, but you must support our transformative political marriage agenda or you are not a feminist.

Forget the terms “same sex” and “gay” marriage. These are victim-based marketing ploys invented N.O.W. to send us off into a heated debate about homosexuality and equal rights -- distracting us from seeing their real goal of establishing “feminist marriage.”

Egypt Clerics Call For Destruction Of Pyramids.

Is This The Work Of U.S Sponsored Democracy? I Also Hear That This Might Be A Hoax As Well.

By Raymond Ibrahim Via  Frontpage Mag -

According to several reports in the Arabic media, prominent Muslim clerics have begun to call for the demolition of Egypt’s Great Pyramids—or, in the words of Saudi Sheikh Ali bin Said al-Rabi‘i, those “symbols of paganism,” which Egypt’s Salafi party has long planned to cover with wax.    Most recently, Bahrain’s “Sheikh of Sunni Sheikhs” and President of National Unity, Abd al-Latif al-Mahmoud, called on Egypt’s new president, Muhammad Morsi, to “destroy the Pyramids and accomplish what the Sahabi Amr bin al-As could not.

US Independence Day Explained.

Many Americans are familiar with the the date July 4, 1776 as the date the American colonies declared independence from the British empire But most may also know that the constitution was not signed on July 4. Most the signers of the Declaration of Independence did so on August 2nd, 1776, not July 4.   In fact, nobody signed it on the 4th.  This is contradictory to Thomas Jefferson’s, John Adams’, and Benjamin Franklin’s account of events.  However, as you’ll see shortly, their accounts have been shown to have been misremembered.  Incidentally, this is not the only time this has been shown to be the case with their account of events during this time.  Of course, this period would have been quite a whirlwind, so one can understand their misremembering.

In any event, the public congressional record of events actually back Jefferson’s, Adams’, and Franklin’s story.  The problem is that the Secret Journals of Congress, that were eventually made public in 1821, do not.  They contain an entry stating, on August 2: “The declaration of independence being engrossed & compared at the table was signed by the Members.”  Now if this was the only evidence, one might lean towards a typo in the journal and believing the above three individuals.  However, one of the other signers of the declaration, Thomas McKean, denied the July 4 signing date and backed it up by illustrating a glaring flaw in Jefferson’s, Adams’, & Franklin’s argument.  Namely, that most of the signers were not members of congress on July 4 & thus wouldn’t have been there to sign it. As McKean said in 1796: “No person signed it on that day nor for many days after.”

Further evidence comes from the interesting fact that the parchment version of the Declaration of Independence that is on display and kept in the United States National Archives wasn’t actually written until July 19th; this being a copy of the approved text that was announced to the world on July 4th, with about 150-200 copies being made on paper and distributed on that date (26 of which are still around today, thus pre-dating what is now generally thought of as the “original”).  This little tidbit also came from the Secret Journals of Congress which has an entry on July 19th stating: “Resolved that the Declaration passed on the 4th be fairly engrossed on parchment with the title and stile of “The unanimous declaration of the thirteen united states of America” & that the same when engrossed be signed by every member of Congress.”  Thus, this signed document probably would have been actually copied by Timothy Matlack, Jefferson’s clerk and certainly couldn’t have been signed on July 4.
