Serious journalism? The Washington Post puts a 1965 Romney story on the front page.....

How desperate is The Washington Post for front page material?

After all, is there anything happening in Syria, Iran or Russia?  I guess there is no news out of The Middle East either.

Beyond that, isn't the US economy just doing great?  

We hear that Europe is an economic paradise.  Everybody is just feeling great over the ocean.

We are no longer waiting for AG Holder to tell  us how 2,000 high powered guns ended up in the hands of Mexican cartels.

The US Senate has passed a budget after 3 years of inactivity.  Pres BO has finally put serious proposals on the table.

There are no issues of consequence anymore.

So I guess that there is no newsworthy material over at The Washington Post.

It's such a tough week that they sent a pack of reporters to dig up a 47-year old story about Mitt Romney.

I guess that Mitt Romney was such a "bad kid".....wasn't he?

The Washington Post is a joke for several reasons:

1) We don't even know if the incident happened.   The "victim" is dead and his family is attacking The Washington Post for using him for political reasons.

2) What is the relevance something that happened in 1965 to 2012?  Will The Washington Post do similar inquiries into Pres BO's youth?

3) The real loser is serious journalism.  We need serious journalists doing serious work.  This is not serious work.  There is no pattern of bad behavior in Mitt Romney's adult life.  On the contrary, Mitt Romney's life is free of personal or business scandals.

Again, the real loser is journalism.

Same sex marriage: Pres BO put "money" over principle

Pres BO "evolved" and decided that he was for same sex marriage after all of these years.

Pres BO's "evolution" got him a lot of money.   ($15 million)

Unfortunately, it also confirmed that he is not really a leader.  

To be blunt, this is not the leadership that our nation needs today.

We need a president who will stand up for our Judea-Christian heritage.

We need a president who will stand for traditional marriage.

We need a president strong enough to tell his base that the country needs more traditional marriages rather than convenient arrangements.

Yes, he got the money.  However, he did not do the country, and specially the young people, any favors.   

We have a lot of confused young people who should be hearing clear moral  messages rather than "situational" or "feel good" ethics.

Why are unaccompanied children showing up at the US-Mexico border?

According to news reports, we are finding unaccompanied children on the US-Mexico border:

"A recent Associated Press article on the surge reported that 1,390 unaccompanied children crossed over the border and into U.S. custody in March alone. 

Some have even been housed at Lackland Air Force Base on a temporary basis while they are being processed. 

The children, after being initially detained by the Department of Homeland Security, are typically handed over to the care of the Office of Refugee Resettlement -- a division of the Department of Health and Human Services.

What's going on?

What are unaccompanied kids showing up on the US-Mexico border?  Here is more on the story from The WSJ:

"From October to the end of April, the US government has detained more than 6,500 unaccompanied minors who had crossed the border, nearly double the number detained in the comparable period the previous year, according to US officials.

Most of them come from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, countries that are close to Mexico's southern border, and generally range in age from 14 to 17, though some are younger."

Who is taking these children to the border?  I don't think that children are just walking to the border and crossing into the US.

Again, who is delivering these children to the US-Mexico border?

Let's start by asking Pres Calderon.  Again, is Pres Calderon aware that children are showing up on the border? 

Children are children and can not be blamed for illegal immigration or the incredibly irresponsible behavior of the adults who put them there.   Furthermore, we are not going to let children die on the border.

We demand some accountability for the fact that Mexican and Central American children are showing up on the border.

We ask again:  Who is driving these kids to the border?  I guarantee that they are not getting there by themselves.  We should hold Pres Calderon and the Mexican government responsible for these children.  

We discussed this issue with Dr Ileana Johnson-Paugh on the Friday show:
