The return of the Eagles
Michelle Malkin
They’re coming back to Washington, D.C. Will you stand with them? As you’ll recall, the first Gathering of Eagles in March to counter the White Flag mob drew unprecedented masses to the nation’s capital in support of the troops and their mission. In 33 days, the Eagles and a number of similar organizations plan to answer the ANSWER crowd again.
GOE is holding a Freedom Walk on September 10 and Operation Eagle Justice on September 15.
Eagles Landing “will assemble in Washington, D.C. on September 15, 2007 in support of America, our troops, and our fallen brothers and sisters.” ...
Move America Forward will once again lead a cross-country caravan to D.C. as part of the Fight for Victory tour: ...
Please do read the whole thing and start making your travel plans if you haven't already. I first posted about this and added an Eagles Landing sidebar button almost a month ago but I haven't done as good a job as I should have of posting about it on a regular basis. I'll try to do a better job of pulling my head out of my personal problems and doing a better job of publicizing this important event from here out.

Uncle Jimbo: I would love to meet this kid. Not only is his message brilliant, but his delivery is stunning. Every time I wonder a bit about our country, somebody like this pops up to remind us what we are really about. [video link]
- Obama Judges a Judge
By George F. Will: Sen. Barack Obama recently told some Iowa farmers that prices of their crops are not high enough, considering what grocers are charging for other stuff: "Anybody gone into Whole Foods lately and see what they charge for arugula?" Living near the University of Chicago, Obama has perhaps experienced this outrage, but Iowans, who have no Whole Foods stores, might remember 1987, when Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis urged Iowa farmers to diversify by raising endive. Said a farmer to a Boston reporter, "Your governor scared me just a hair." ...
Mystery at Goose Creek: Who are the accused Pipe Bomb Boys?
Michelle Malkin
Last weekend, I noted the arrest of Yousef Megahed, 21, and Ahmed Mohamed, 24, in the vicinity of the Naval Weapons Station, located in Goose Creek, South Carolina. National media scrutiny since the men were charged with possession of pipe bombs has been scant. Some MSM reports read like CAIR press releases. The AP dispatch carried in the Miami Herald concludes: “Some have suggested the men were targeted because of their ethnicity. Mohamed is a native of Kuwait and Megahed is Egyptian. Both are in the country legally. The arrests were ‘absolutely wrong,’ said Chaudhry Sadiq, director of the South Carolina chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.”
Fortunately, local Florida media and bloggers have kept a close eye. And there have been some very newsworthy developments. The Tampa Tribune reports today that the FBI has raided a home in connection with the accused Pipe Bomb Boys: ...
*** SC 2 Linked To Sami Al-Arian Investigation
Dan Riehl (H/T)
The fellow who owns the house which houses the fellow who owns the house which was searched in this increasingly tangled web - Sameeh Hammouhdeh - here are Al-Wada's, the Palestinian Right To Return Coalition's, talking points to get him released from prison, which he was, despite the government's continuing belief that he is linked to both Iran and terrorism and I hope the rent check goes to Jordan, otherwise he's in violation, as he agreed to leave the country. You can confirm all that by Googling his name. ...
