MoD Photo of Drugs Discovered by HMS Iron Duke

The British Navy’s HMS Iron Duke has seized it’s largest cocaine bust on record, with assistance from a US Coast Guard Law Enforcement Detachment (LEDET).

“This surpasses anything we’ve had and anything the Navy had previously,” said Commander Andrew Stacey of the HMS Iron Duke. “It is the largest drugs bust by value, and by volume in terms of cocaine.”

The BBC has video of the Brits taking the M/V Cristal under fire.

Today we celebrate the 222nd Anniversary of the signing of the Constitution by the Constitutional Convention, and recognize the importance of this hallowed document, and the framework our country is built on.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

VIENNA (AP) – Experts at the world’s top atomic watchdog are in agreement that Tehran has the ability to make a nuclear bomb and is on the way to developing a missile system able to carry an atomic warhead, according to a secret report seen by The Associated Press.

So much for Iran not having the capability to develop a delivery system or “pose a threat.”

The document says Iran has “sufficient information” to build a bomb. It says Iran is likely to “overcome problems” on developing a delivery system.

Suck it, Hope n Change!

With 70 miles of stunning beaches and picture-perfect weather all year round, having fun during the summer in San Diego doesn’t require a lot of money.

The city combines old-fashioned Mexican charm with a modern edge. In a city where the sun is always shining, it’s the perfect place to get away for a bit of relaxation or stimulation.

If you’re looking for trendy boutique hotels, an exploding culinary scene, or visiting the local ACORN to get your underage prostitutes smuggled across the Mexican border, you’re in the right place.

After living near this city for several years, this comes as no surprise. Watch the videos:

State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo yesterday launched an investigation into pork-barrel grants given to ACORN by state lawmakers, as City Council Speaker Christine Quinn froze all city funding earmarked for the scandal-scared community-activism organization.

ACORN in New York has been pretty well taken care of by NY legislators.

The group and its affiliates have received at least $1.5 million in city and state legislative grants in the last four years, according to a Post review of grant records.

Council budgets from fiscal years 2010, 2009 and 2008 show members showered ACORN and its affiliates with at least $644,500.

ACORN and the tax-exempt affiliate featured in the video, New York ACORN Housing Company, have received at least $890,000 in pork from state lawmakers in the last four years

A spokeswoman at the Polish Ministry of Defense also said the program had been suspended.

“This is catastrophic for Poland,” said the spokeswoman, who declined to be named in line with ministry policy.

I’m getting pretty tired of this Administration constantly turning it’s back on Poland. Sounds like it’s getting close to the time to move back to the Homeland…

Vice President Joe Biden earlier refused to confirm to CNN that the George W. Bush-era plan was being shelved.

But he did explain the logic of doing so, saying Iran — a key concern for the United States — was not a threat.

“I think we are fully capable and secure dealing with any present or future potential Iranian threat,” he told CNN’s Chris Lawrence in Baghdad, where he is on a brief trip.

“The whole purpose of this exercise we are undertaking is to diminish the prospect of the Iranians destabilizing that region in the world. I am less concerned — much less concerned — about the Iranian potential. They have no potential at this moment, they have no capacity to launch a missile at the United States of America,” he said.

So, Poland and the Czech Republic can continue to live with the Russian Bear Bully next door, without a valid defense against hostile missiles. The rest of Europe should feel somewhat concerned as well, seeing how the missile shield was providing for the defense of all of Western Europe:

I suppose the only good news coming from this is that Russia might pull back some of the troops and missile systems it deployed along the Polish border (or threatened to do so), possibly reducing tensions in the region. However, I tend to be a little skeptical of Russian intentions with Medvedev serving primarily as a mouthpiece for Vladimir Putin, not known for being a negotiator.

The U.S. reversal is likely to please Russia, which had fiercely opposed the plans.

You don’t say…and now Obama is giving them a little more breathing room. And, he is putting Europe at risk from long-range missile systems already developed by Iran (nuclear or not, the US seems to forget that a weapon doesn’t have to be nuclear to be a Weapon of Mass Destruction/WMD).

Question: Was the driver a male of female? Just sayin’. After all, it is Florida.

I experienced vicious racial verbal attacks, not from the tea party protesters. The racial hate expressed against me all came from the left, people who support President Obama’s radial[sic] socialist agenda.

Unfortunately, my deleted email box is littered with numerous messages expressing the following:

“You are the dumbest self hating f****** n***** I have ever seen!”

These racists are outraged by my opening lines I boldly proclaimed at each rally. “Hello my fellow patriots! I am NOT an African-American! I am Lloyd Marcus, AMERCIAN[sic]!”

The man is a true Patriot.

Lloyd Marcus for President

We made our way through the crowd to the bed of a pick up truck. National radio talk show host Mark Williams, blue star mom Deborah Johns, singer Diana Nagy, the Rivoli Revue (Ron and Kay) and I climbed on board. Someone handed Mark a bull horn which he used to encourage the extremely enthusiastic crowd. We said the Pledge of Allegiance and Diana lead in the singing of “God Bless America”. Many in the crowd were sobbing. Then they showered us with thanks, hugs, bottled water, bags of shacks and homemade treats. I thought, “How many angry racist mobs bake and bring brownies and overwhelm a black guy with affection and hugs?”

Once back on the bus, our team struggled to hold back tears. We felt humbled, honored and blessed. Though extremely well received at each rally, this “whistle stop” drove home the passion, love of country, and importance of our mission to preserve and Take Back America!

The Tea Party protesters are hard working decent people who love their country and want us all united as Americans. I am highly offended that this evil administration seeks to divide us, not just by race, but also by class envy. As I said to many of the audiences along the Tea Party Express bus tour, “I love you. Stay strong. Do not allow their calling you a racist to shut you up! Stand up for America. God bless you. And God bless America!”

Anyone who thinks racism and hate are a Conservative creation should read his article. [Not to mention research the history of the Republican party! It certainly wasn't the Democrats or "progressives" operating the Underground Railroad or fighting for equality. Those who have found race as a convenient excuse to "level the playing field" by making race an issue are those who have ascribed to the Progressive dogma that somehow a person born of a darker skin color is somehow inferior and discriminated against. -Ed.]

Lloyd Marcus’ performance of his song Twenty Ten was aired by C-SPAN. Watch the video below:

“I want those people talked to; I want them interviewed,” Waters told the liberal Bill Press Radio show in a podcast. “I want journalists to be all over those rallies and the marches with the birthers and the teabaggers.”

So much for the “post-racial” America under Obama…

[Exit question: Is the Left going nuclear on the Health Care and Tea Party protests because they believe protesting is only a liberal mechanism? -Ed]
