I've always avoided stories about Frank Marshall Davis, probably because his porno background was disturbing and worse. If only Obama's mentor was just a normal Marxist. But this story jibes with a long-felt suspicion that B.O. Sr. was only used to legitimize Dunham's child and was not Barry's biological father.

There is no doubt that these are pics of Stanley Ann Dunham, and these are new ones from the ones that came out a few years ago.

Gilbert reports he has recently discovered racy photos in vintage fetish and bondage magazines of Obama’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, that he believes were taken by Davis. The photos, he says, bolster his belief that Dunham had an intimate relationship with Davis.

Gilbert has given WND a preview of a new “Breaking News� page on his documentary’s website titled “The Intimate Ann Dunham-Frank Marshall Davis Relationship.� On the page, he presents a video that shows some of the 30-plus pin-up photographs he believes Davis took of Obama’s young mother and other models in his home at 2994 Kalihi Street in Honolulu, Hawaii.

This is an article written by Andrew Napolitano. I find the 3rd and 4th paragraphs particularly interesting since he mentions natural law and rights. http://lewrockwell.com/napolitano/napolitano59.1.html

King Putt is so important that he has no respect for the Air Force, their Academy Graduates, their families, and the Thunderbirds that trained so hard to put on a good show. They all must wait so he can zip off to another of his record number of fundraisers. All Hail the Campaigner in Chief!

Hi All,
I just wanted to pass on a little info in case some of you were not aware of this. Yesterday was the Air force Academy graduation ceremony. My friend from Texas had just arrived and we drove down the road to watch the Thunderbirds air show after the ceremony was finished. Most of you know Pres. Obama spoke at the ceremony and handed out the diploma’s. When this finished it was time for the Thunderbirds to fly. There was one maneuver then they disappeared. A man standing by me called a friend at Peterson Field and found out that the air show was halted because Obama wanted to leave. A helicopter soon appeared and flew around in a circular pattern above where we were – basically doing reconnesance as Obama’s motor-cade was exiting the Air Force Academy. He was going to Denver to do some more campaigning since Colorado is a swing state. After he left the Thunderbirds came back and continued the show for the graduates. Think about this. Obama comes to a graduation, speaks etc. then decides to leave before the Thunderbirds can complete their air show. They had to fly around, & waste fuel. Thousands of people – the graduating cadets, parents, friends, observers in the vicinity parked in lots waiting to see them fly, inconvenienced, so Obama – his “highness’ could leave to go campaign in Denver! How disrespectful of EVERYONE in attendance. It would have taken only about 20-30 minutes more time to stay until the fly-over was finished thereby honoring the graduates, Thunderbirds and the military in general. However, this narcissistic disgrace of a ‘Commander -in-Chief� had to inconvenience everyone and leave interrupting the ceremony fly-over because everything is about him. I was disgusted by this and so was everyone else standing around near us. I hope this info gets passed on so others can learn how disrespectful this Pres. is toward the military. Not too many who witnessed this will be voting for him.

A hot topic amongst those that try and assail the Bible. Here is a teaching on the subject from Philemon that looks at the subject:

I highly encourage especially Christians to watch this message to equip you on the subject.

I highly encourage non-Christians to watch this message on what scripture actually says about the subject. Spoiler alert, the type of Slavery seen in the United States is referred to even in the Old Testament...punishable by death.

Court Backs E.P.A. Over Emissions Limits Intended to Reduce Global Warming
By MATTHEW L. WALD

WASHINGTON — A federal appeals court on Tuesday upheld a finding by the Environmental Protection Agency that heat-trapping gases from industry and vehicles endanger public health, dealing a decisive blow to companies and states that had sued to block agency rules.

A three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia declared that the agency was “unambiguously correct� that the Clean Air Act requires the federal government to impose limits once it has determined that emissions are causing harm.

The judges unanimously dismissed arguments from industry that the science of global warming was not well supported and that the agency had based its judgment on unreliable studies. “This is how science works,� they wrote. “The E.P.A. is not required to reprove the existence of the atom every time it approaches a scientific question.�

I've reregistered after a few years away from astromart in part to speak to fellow minded person with telescope making addictions.


One of my current projects is making a 8 inch Dall Kirkham and at the moment I've just finished polishing out the convex secondary

the scope will be around f-16 the primary is around f-4.5 and the secondary is a 2.5 inch pyrex blank purchased from willmen bell a few years back.

I decided to stick with a Dall kirk because the correction is still reasonable even with 2 inch eyepieces with these specs. Around the same coma as a f-8 newt in terms of distance in mm from the centre of the field obviously not field size with the longer f ratio.

Also the mirrors are easier to make and I back myself to make an f-4.5 elipse of around -.65 given I've now done around 20 parabolas up to 18 inch f-4.8.

Re the convex sphere I had a largely unseccussful go at a mock up interference tester using the concave as a reference but a friend told me to try fine grinding and polishing the back and testing from behind with a monochromatic light source ronchi and knife edge if possible.

After polishing the back and the convex sphere I tried this and found I had a very poor surface rough and with a hole in the centre and turned up edge.

I've now done some careful work smoothing the surface regularly pressing etc and using a ronchi then a knife edge with a green led lightsource I appear to have a very good sphere. I remade the polishing tool and am using thick medium hardness pitch. I realise its possibly not as sensitive as an interference test although this relies on the concave being accurate also.

Has anyone else tried this to me it really does appear to be a sound way of testing a convex sphere?
