Righteous! I am thrilled to report that the Thomas More Law Center will be representing Brian Williams pro bono in the sharia-like charges being brought against him for helping an apostate escape a death fatwa. The Islamic supremacists pursuing Rifqa Bary and the Christians who helped her are trying to enforce sharia law. They will be met with a vigorous freedom of religion defense. More on this here. What wonderful news that as he is prosecuted Brian Williams will be defended by legal counsel who understand that this is enforcement of sharia and are unafraid to fight the oppression and intimidation of the Islamic machine. The Thomas More Law Center is a not-for-profit public interest law firm dedicated to the defense and promotion of the religious freedom of Christians, time-honored family values, and the sanctity of human life. Our purpose is to be the sword and shield for people of faith, providing legal representation without charge to defend and protect Christians and their religious beliefs in the public square. We achieve this goal principally through litigation, seeking out significant cases, consistent with our mission, where our expertise can be of service to others. We also defend and promote faith and family through media and educational efforts. Above all, the lawyers of the Thomas More Center seek to meet the highest moral and ethical standards of our Christian faith and our legal profession.(more here) No more back door deals that CAIR and the devout Muslims renege on -- because any deals (or treaties) with the kuffar (non-believers) are not worth the paper they are written on. Every underhanded dirty deal that Rifqa Bary's lawyers made with the CAIR-appointed attorney for her parents was broken. The last one was the most egregious, as they demanded that Rifqa Bary plead guilty to the "unruly" charge. Despite the fact she did not want to do this, as she was not guilty of "ungovernance," her lawyers insisted she make the deal. Further, the Thomas More Law Center will be handling Brian's case pro-bono. Unlike John Stemberger, who claimed he was defending Rifqa pro-bono. In reality, he submitted a bill to Rifqa's trust for $14,000, and worse, he is still acting as her agent for a book and pressuring her to sign with a ghost writer. That is the truth about his book deal, which he denied having when I reported on it before; Stemberger didn't say that it was Rifqa's book deal, and he was planning to cash in as her agent. Today's Columbus Dispatch is reporting that Rifqa's attorneys have finally taken some action and filed a motion against the relentless harassment of Rifqa. Attorneys for Fathima Rifqa Bary want sanctions imposed on her parents and their attorney for filing what her attorneys call frivolous motions. In a motion filed in Franklin County Juvenile Court, they also accuse Rifqa's parents of "continued attempts to intimidate and control their daughter." All the attorneys had agreed on Jan. 19 to settle their dispute in counseling and not in court. But a week later, Omar Tarazi, attorney for Mohamed Bary and his wife, Aysha, asked the court to prohibit contact between Rifqa and Blake and Beverly Lorenz, the Florida pastors she stayed with after running away from her Columbus home in July. Rifqa, 17, accused her father of threatening to kill her for converting from Islam to Christianity. But authorities in Florida and Ohio did not find any credible threat to her safety. The January motion is frivolous, Rifqa's attorneys wrote, because her counselor agreed that contact between her and the Lorenzes was in her best interest. Kort Gatterdam and Angela Lloyd, Rifqa's attorneys, want the court to order sanctions that could include making the Barys pay attorney fees, court costs and other expenses. What fees? The attorneys also accused Tarazi of including Rifqa's private writings in their motions to make them available to the news media and embarrass her. They are disgusting.
EUREKA! THOMAS MORE LAW CENTER TO REPRESENT BRIAN WILLIAMS PRO BONO
DICK CHENEY AT CPAC: "BARACK OBAMA IS A ONE TERM PRESIDENT"
Pandemonium as Cheney took the stage. I mean the standing ovation and the wolf whistles and whooping went on for what seemed like forever.
Every time he began to speak, the crowd went NUTS. He said, "it's enough to make me think of running again," and the crowd went berserk. He made sure to insist he wasn't .....the crowd groaned. And he finally said, "Knock it off."
Will try to load the video.
PLANE CRASHES INTO NORTHWEST AUSTIN OFFICE BUILDING: WHEN ASKED IF THE PLANE SEEMED TO BE OUT OF CONTROL, HE SAID IT SEEMED “VERY CONTROLLED.”
A Texas man deliberately crashed a small plane into a building containing a federal tax office Thursday after setting his house on fire, officials said.
Two fighter jets were scrambled out of a nearby airport in response to the incident, which an official said does not appear to be linked to terrorism.
"This was apparently - according to an official - a deliberate act," CNN anchor Tony Harris said. "Joseph Andrew Stack is the name of the pilot."
The plane struck the second floor of the seven story building in Austin, Texas about 10:00 am (1600 GMT) and burst into flames in a massive explosion that forced people to flee out of the windows, witnesses and officials said.
When asked if the plane seemed to be out of control, he said it seemed “very controlled.”

Plane crashes into Northwest Austin office buildingA plane crashed into a Northwest Austin building that houses federal offices about 9:30 this morning, sending plumes of smoke into the air that could be seen for miles.
Paramedics have set up a triage center at the scene, though it is unclear how many people are injured. EMS officials said one person was unaccounted for.“We have no idea right now if there are any patients, or how many,” Austin-Travis County EMS Assistant Director James Shamard said.
Mathilda Sanchez, a spokeswoman for the Seton Family of Hospitals, said University Medical Center Brackenridge received two patients, and that no other hospitals had received any.
The Internal Revenue Service has offices in the building, including its civil enforcement and criminal investigations divisions, said Special Agent Michael Lemoine, a spokesman for the criminal investigations division.He said that some IRS offices are on the first floor, which Lemoine said was hit by the plane.He said that the criminal investigations division personnel are safe and accounted for. He did not have information on the civil division workers, who conduct audits and other activity at the offices
According to an FBI agent who asked not to be identified because he isn’t authorized to release information, the incident is being investigated as an accident, although eyewitnesses said the plane seemed to come in at full throttle. He said the plane was out of Waco and that Federal Aviation Administration officials are en route to the scene.The agent said it was believed the plane had come from Waco, and that witnesses said it had hit the building at full-throttle.
FBI sources said that the eyewitness accounts saying that the plane did not slow down is making some authorities wonder if it was an intentional act.
FBI spokesman Bill Carter said the building hit by a plane at the Echelon office complex did not contain an FBI office. While the FBI has an office at the complex, the plane did not crash into that particular building, Carter said.
William Winnie, an Internal Revenue Service agent, said he was in a training session on the third floor of the building when he saw a light-colored, single engine plane coming at the building.“It looked like it was coming right in my window,” Winnie said. He said the plane veered down and to the left and crashed into the floors below. “I didn’t lose my footing, but it was enough to knock people who were sitting to the floor.”
The building mostly houses IRS offices, said Kathi Hall, with KVSA Asset Management, which manages the property.Chris Messer was driving to work about 9:50 a.m. when he was on the flyover exiting MoPac Boulevard (Loop 1) to northbound U.S. 183 when he saw a small, single-engine yellow plane in his peripheral vision.“It flew right in front of me and flew right square into the building,” said Messner, 27. “The fireball was pretty big. It shook my car and the heat came in from my air vents. I was surprised how big the explosion is.”
Messner said the explosion was “as wide as the entire building.”“The tail was down slightly like it was trying to pull up a little bit,” Messner said. “It happened really fast.”
Sarah Whelan, 28, was also driving on the overpass from MoPac onto U.S. 183 north on her way to work when she saw the plane on her right, flying low over the shops across the street from the building that was hit.She said all the cars in front of me started slowing down because the plane looked like it could it land on the highway.“It wasn’t heading into the direction of the building but all of a sudden it took a right and headed straight into it,” Whelan said. “It didn’t look like it was in distress. It wasn’t wavering at all.
“The first thing I did was start praying and saying, ‘I can’t believe it.’” she said. “It was a feeling of disbelief and helplessness.”
Tucker Thurman was driving to work on the U.S. 183 flyover near MoPac Boulevard (Loop 1) when he said he saw a small plane, very low, flying over the highway. He said he saw it then bank heavily to the right before heading into the building.“There was a huge fireball. It went right into the building,” Thurman said.
EMS officials said they have taken at least two patients to the hospital, but that there are several “walking wounded” at the scene.
Fire Chief Rhoda Mae Kerr said that the department has gone into a “defensive position,” meaning that firefighters have been ordered to retreat from the building because of the danger.Fire department officials said EMS has begun taking people to University Medical Center Brackenridge.
Cayce Watkins, a server at the Marie Callender’s restaurant at 9503 Research Boulevard across 183 from where the plane crashed, said: “It rattled our windows.”
Watkins said employees heard the roar of the plane and then a boom.
“There was a loud boom, and our windows, our entire building shook,” said Darla LaTour, an operations manager at the Candlewood Suites Extended Stay Hotel, which is about a quarter-mile from the accident site. “When we got out there already were sirens coming.”
Mischelle Diaz, a spokeswoman for St. Edward’s University, said the plane hit a building in the Echelon business complex next to a building where the university’s Professional Education Center provides software training and teaches some graduate students. She said the education center has been evacuated and that university officials were trying to confirm that students and instructors all got out safely.
“We’re just desperately trying to get some information,” Diaz said.
Stuart Newberg was at a nearby Lexus dealership shortly before 10 a.m. when he said he saw a plane flying low and fast overhead.“It was flying low and fast and I did a double take. I thought it was a play remote control plane. Then i saw the smoke,” Newberg said.
When asked if the plane seemed to be out of control, he said it seemed “very controlled.”
