    • The United States has 5,113 nuclear warheads in its stockpile and many thousands more that have been retired and are awaiting dismantling, according to a senior defense official.

      The release of the number of warheads marks only the second time in U.S. history the government has released the once top secret information.

      The Pentagon statistics show the nuclear stockpile was reduced by 75 percent between the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and September 30, 2009, and 84 percent since its peak of more than 31,255 in 1967.

      The 5,113 warheads include active and inactive ones, according to the senior defense official.

      Probably not a smart move by the Obama Administration to give America's enemies information

    CA-Sen: California Pro-Life Council Endorses Carly Fiorina


    California Pro-Life Council

    The San Francisco Chronicle had the first mention last night of the endorsement.

    Just got this scoop from California Pro Life Council czar Brian Johnston: The organization will endorse Carly Fiorina Tuesday over Orange County Assemblyman Chuck DeVore.

    This is a big deal in conservative circles, as this is California’s largest single-issue pro-life group. When Fiorina got the nod recently from the Susan B Anthony Candidate List — think of it as the anti-Emily’s List — Team DeVore dismissed it as a DC-oriented group.(They’re also going to kick Carly $200,000, they told me.) Don’t worry, predicted Team DeVore, California pro-lifers would be behind the rock-ribbed conservative DeVore.

    But this pro-life group, the California affiliate of the National Right to Life organization, isn’t. And the reason has to do with one thing: They think Fiorina has a better shot at winning. In the June primary and in the fall.

    And, then, Jon Fleischman just posted the official endorsement statement.

    This will be a significant endorsement for Carly Fiorina. Having been branded by Chuck Devore as a closet pro-choicer on abortion and a non-conservative moderate RINO, this should help dispel the misstatements.

    Plus, the $200K campaign cash donation will help fuel Fiorina mailers in the last few weeks of the campaign.

    Day By Day May 4, 2010 – Modus Operandi

    If Louisiana oil spill had happened during the Bush Presidency, the LEFT would be all over the President – you knows, ridicule and all.

    But, President Obama’s response is typical of “Big Government.” Slow and plodding.

    Yet, the LEFT MUST have someone to blame and it will be Big Oil and the notion that offshore oil exploration is one facet of a national energy plan to wean us off imported oil.

    The question remains to the President and the Democrat Congressional majority after coal mine disasters and massive oil spills: What is your national energy strategy?
