Webster defines "hostage" as being "one that is involuntarily controlled by an outside influence". Our sovereign nation has been invaded and we are being held hostage! America is under attack! Where is our government? Why aren't we being protected?

So what are we to surmise from these articles? Well, that is very simple: America has been invaded by a foreign entity and is under attack!
I thought "Travel Warnings" were only issued to Americans that were traveling abroad, to Iran, Yemen, Haiti, Israel, and even Mexico...but to America?! Something is way wrong with this picture. A Travel Warning is "...issued to describe long-term, protracted conditions that make a country dangerous or unstable. A Travel Warning is also issued when the U.S. Government's ability to assist American citizens is constrained due to the closure of an embassy or consulate or because of a drawdown of its staff." as stated HERE. Ironically, the State Department's list of warning areas does not include these unsafe lands. Still, this is what Dennis Godfrey, a spokesman for the Bureau of Land Management's Arizona office, has said:
"...roughly a dozen signs were posted earlier this month along the Sonoran Desert National Monument advising that travel in the area is not recommended due to "active drug and human" smuggling. The signs are not far from where a Pinal County deputy was shot and killed during a confrontation with marijuana smugglers in April and the fatal shooting of two men suspected to be drug smugglers."
Clearly this is a warning...and it is federal land...and it is in the United States...and Americans are being advised NOT to enter these areas...and they have acknowledged that the presence of foreign persons are the reason. In other words, American has been invaded and is now being held hostage.
The really sad part of this news is that it is not NEW. This has been on-going since 2006. How's this for a statement?
Four years after federal officials quietly surrendered thousands of acres of America's border to Mexican drug gangs and illegals, there still are "no plans to reopen" the taxpayer-owned national park lands.
Roughly 3,500 acres of taxpayer-funded government land in Arizona have been closed to U.S. citizens since 2006 due to safety concerns fueled by drug and human smuggling along the Mexican border, according to a statement posted on the website for the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge.
What did I just read?! Federal Officials, you know, the one's that have sworn to Protect and Defend the Constitution and the citizens of the United States, etc...SURRENDERED! Are you kidding me? They didn't even tell us we lost a war. In fact, they didn't even tell us we were in a war...ON OUR OWN SOIL! What the hell is wrong with this picture?
First, we have our government surrendering our sovereign land. Then we have more government refusing to secure the border. Then we have a government hellbent on giving amnesty to the very people we just surrendered our sovereign land to. And now our government officials are just going to sit idly by and do nothing.
Finally, if that weren't enough, Senator Jon Kyl states in a YouTube video, which can be seen HERE, the following:
The problem is, ...if we secure the border, then you all won't have any reason to support 'comprehensive immigration reform.'" [Audible gasps were heard throughout the audience.] Sen. Kyl continued, "In other words, they're holding it hostage. They don't want to secure the border unless and until it is combined with 'comprehensive immigration reform.'
So how much of our land are we willing to give up BEFORE we decide to fight back? How many citizens must die at the hands of invaders? When will the government officials, who were lawfully elected to represent and protect us, when are they going to put an end to this insanity?

Global Warming or Pseudo-science?
Energy Secretary's White-Paint Proposal Puzzles Climate-Change Experts
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,522411,00.html?test=latestnews
I gotta laugh! These "scientists", and the accents are intentional, are just baffling. I just love the opening:
Energy Secretary Steven Chu stunned the audience at a London scientific conference Tuesday with a radical but simple proposal to combat global warming: Paint all the roofs of all the buildings in the world white.
Granted, the simplest things are usually the best solution, but this goes way, WAY beyond simple. First of all, I believe the well-known heat island effect is very valid...to a point. It does raise temperatures some, but not like it has been proposed. In fact, consider this: the highest temperature recorded in Phoenix was 122 degrees on Jun 26, 1990. In second place was 121 degrees on July 28, 1995. If we are to believe that the ever-expanding heat island has a dramatic effect, then it would be safe to assume as more buildings are constructed, more people gather, and more vehicles traverse the inner city, then there should be a natural and systematic increase in the overall highes each year. Further, if the heat island were to have as significant an impact as the "scientists" say, then the astronomical increase in urban sprawl would actually made the heat island bigger, creating an even hotter environment. However, that does not seem to be the case. If you travel outside of the outskirts of Phoenix, the temperature dips a few degrees within minutes. What does that mean? Simple: the effect of a heat island is transitory and short reaching. Okay, in simple terms...It doesn't last long or go far. I don't see it.
Now lets consider global warming in general. There was an episode of MythBusters that did their study on global warming gases and the effects they have on the environment. They compared several gases and arrived a one conclusion. In the carbon dioxide chamber, the temperature did increase in a set period of time. That increase? Oh, it was one degree. That is where they left it. Now I ask the question, "so does that mean that an increase in global warming gases will only increase the temperature world-wide by one degree or is it exponential?" Of course, no one will address that in a provable method.
Finally, while the world "scientists" are speculating, debating and otherwise wasting everyone's time and money to prove that it exists, it probably doesn't even matter. The actual "spike" actually occurred in the 1990s and is now starting to trend down. You can see the graph here: http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/graphs/Fig.D.lrg.gif. Also notice that we spiked in the 1920s and 1930s and almost the same or higher then the 1990s. As they say in the court room, this is all circumstantial evidence. It doesn't actually prove anything except that it gets hot once in a while.
So all this hooping and hollering is for something else. Can you guess what that might be? Of course you can! Somebody wants more MONEY! Now they can get it by taxing for it, charging for the "repair", and my all time favorite, banning it so that other product prices increase and are taxed. What rocket "scientist" thought this up? A politician.

Why do we give our money away?
Glendale Ballpark Deals in Limbo
http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/2009/05/24/20090524ballsalestax0524.html
I just don't get it! Never, in the history of government, has anyone in government offices, under the direction of government officials, with the help of government entities, been able to effectively negotiate anything worthwhile! When Glendale bought, and paid for, the now-named Jobing.com Arena, they used taxpayer money, "in their best interest", hoping it would generate a tax revenue windfall. It didn't! In fact, their complicated and sophisticated negotiations gave them concessions and deal, and then, to top it off, refused to put ANY teeth into the contract for failing to honor their agreement. I am, of course, referring to the 8 months of back rent owed by the Coyotes that their only recourse was to send a stern letter asking for the money. Now the Coyotes are in bankruptcy and threatening to move to Canada. I wonder how much money the citizens of Glendale made on this deal, after the building and other fees that went into its construction, not to mention all the lost concessions and tax revenues. I'm thinking we made a deficit profit (for the academically challenged, that would a debt, which must still be paid...BY THE TAX PAYERS OF GLENDALE!).
Now, Glendale has been in negotiations for 2½ years to receive monies from tax payer funded projects. Oh wonderful, here we go again. They made agreements, verbal or otherwise, then committed money to construct facilities, and then...wait for it....
WAIT FOR IT!
Never completed the paperwork! What rocket scientist thought that would work better then actually writing the deal down on paper and forcing a legally binding commitment? Now the City of Glendale basically has no "legal" right to claim the money as there was no agreement officiated and consummated (a signed paper for those still challenged).
When are we, the people of this city, county, state, country, whatever, realize that giving the government any kind of control with our money is just plain stupid? I'll leave you with this parting thought: President Obama ran his campaign on the platform of CHANGE, in which he kept his word. He changed our hard-earned tax dollars into C - H - A - N - G - E! He even managed to C - H - A - N - G - E our money from our hands to someone elses, like Bank of America, Chase, GM (bankrupting), and Chrysler (bankrupting), and even foreign entities.
Do you suppose this falls under the category of "good negotiations"?
