LOS ANGELES - The doctor who helped Nadya Suleman get pregnant with octuplets has reportedly transferred at least seven embryos to another patient.

According to the Los Angeles Times , a woman in her late 40s went to Dr. Michael Kamrava hoping to become pregnant with one baby.

The Times now says she is 5-months pregnant with quadruplets and hospitalized. The paper adds that the woman has no insurance so she was transferred to a county hospital where she will stay until the births which might not be for two or three months.

Stealth Socialism Will Arrive in a Few Hours

Posted by Defend America on Friday, February 13, 2009 6:07:19 PM
The United States Senate is holding open the vote for Senator Sherrod Brown of Ohio to return from his mother's funeral. The three Democrats, Snowe, Collins, and Specter all voted for it, so this bill will be most probably pass once Brown comes back and votes in the affirmative. The vote count stands at 57 ayes and the Senators who have not voted are: Sen Mel Martinez (R), Sen. Evan Bayh (D), Sen. Sherrod Brown (D), Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D). No words can explain how angry I am and I'm sure many more Americans. The Democrats are destroying our country.

Update: Bayh and Gillibrand vote for the bill. The vote is at 59. Brown will finish off capitalism and bring in socialism.

Kidnapping Capital of the U.S.A.

Washington Too Concerned With al Qaeda Terrorists to Care, Officials Say

By BRIAN ROSS, RICHARD ESPOSITO and ASA ESLOCKER
February 11, 2009

In what officials caution is now a dangerous and even deadly crime wave, Phoenix, Arizona has become the kidnapping capital of America, with more incidents than any other city in the world outside of Mexico City and over 370 cases last year alone. But local authorities say Washington, DC is too obsessed with al Qaeda terrorists to care about what is happening in their own backyard right now. 

"We're in the eye of the storm," Phoenix Police Chief Andy Anderson told ABC News of the violent crimes and ruthless tactics spurred by Mexico's drug cartels that have expanded business across the border. "If it doesn't stop here, if we're not able to fix it here and get it turned around, it will go across the nation," he said.

The Three Democrats in the Senate Should Vote No

Posted by Defend America on Friday, February 13, 2009 4:29:00 PM
They should vote no because many spending provisions that they wanted out and were cut out in the Nelson-Collins Great Compromise of 2009 was added back into the final bill. If they do vote for it, it will show the American people that they really had no interest of cutting out spending, but instead they wanted to appear as centrists. This claim echoes what syndicated columnist Jonah Goldberg said in his column posted on Wednesday on townhall.com. But, they probably will vote for it and Stalin will probably be smiling in his grave.

Here is Goldberg's column:

In Michelle Malkin's column today she explains how the spending programs that were cut in the Great Compromise of 2009 was added back in to the final bill:
