Merry Christmas, some basketball news, and even more incredile dishonesty and bias in the media..

Merry Christmas and I hope all of you have a safe and blessed holiday season.
..and GO BRAVES ...let's be the surprise team in the Valley!!


Anyone see the Bulls-Knicks game? The NBA must be carefully picking the refs to do these games in order to be sure the Knicks get every advantage!


Did you see this?? Sam Maniscalco tweets...
"I'm baaaaack!"

....sure to be misunderstood!!!


Did anyone else notice...
Diamond Taylor made debut with SIU -- in Salukis' 61-49 win over NIU.
Taylor was 2-3, 7 pts, 2 reb....Justin Bocot was scoreless again....something really serious is going on there!
I would be very surprised if Bocot is there next year.


In the pummeling incident of Renardo Sydney & teammate at Mississippi State -- no hint that either player will be out long....both are "suspended temporarily" and have issued the usual and obligatory press-released-apology...so look for both to be back before the conference season starts.
Some head coaches ignore Discipline 101 when it comes to talent. We've seen it in the Valley, too.



Yet more proof that many in the world hate peace loving Christians and simply want to randomly kill and destroy, claiming their religion is better.
These guys were planning and plotting Christmas terrorist attacks, but their efforts were thwarted when special agents broke up their terror plots..

But note how incredibly biased, gently, and kindly the press treats these murderers and Islamic terrorists...who are obviously not just tied to Al Qaeda but are trained and serving the mission of Al Qaeda!
Try to read the entire article and see if you can find in there the fact that these are hate-filled Muslims, who have trained and plotted as Islamic terrorists.
See if you can find that anywhere in this story....why is this intentionally being withheld and hidden by CNN?? Is CNN complicit with these murders and want to hide the truth about them?
Then please tell me why, since being an Islamic terrorist is exactly what they WANT to be known as and being an Islamic terrorist is precisely what they want to be more than anything else...then why does the press dance around that issue and shy away from stating it??
Why do we not call these murderers what they are?

But maybe the single biggest piece of news, is that even though this worldwide, international story about the arrests of a dozen Islamic terrorists who were likely going to target and kill Americans..this plot was well known to all the European agencies and had even been in the international press...but the guy we have here in America who is in charge of dealing with this stuff did not know about it!!

Diane Sawyer was interviewing the top immigration official (Janet Napolitano) and the top intelligence official, the National Security Advisor, James Clapper. This interview took place the day after the British arrested this bunch of Islamic terrorists in a terrorism plot in London.
Yet James Clapper, the National Security Advisor, CLEARLY did not know anything about the event! What the hey??? Is this guy blind, deaf, and dumb??
Just read the freaking newspaper Clapper!!
But --- he should have known all about it for months, since the British government officials had been following these terrorists for months and sharing the info with other agencies! But he was 100% ignorant of the whole thing, and made a fool of himself trying to act like he even knew what Diane Sawyer was talking about. Eventually, after he realized he better not lie or pretend, he admitted he knew nothing about what she was referring to, and blamed it on "not being briefed about it yet".

Amazing -- somehow I don't recall the media being this kind to other presidents -- yet this enormous gaffe by the current administration is nowhere to be found in the regular press.
Makes you feel pretty secure, huh?? hope none of you folks are flying overseas right now...
