Veteran Evelyn Thomas is arrested after handcuffing herself to a fence at the White House in Washington November 15, 2010. Thomas and twelve others were arrested in their protest against the ''Don't Ask, Don't Tell'' law that prevents openly gay men and women from serving in the U.S. military.

My Comment: High unemployment, taxes, trillion dollar deficits, uncontrollable (and unsustainable) growth of government, wars and terrorism .... all of this plays second fiddle to repealing DADT and pushing amnesty for illegals. Two weeks after being destroyed in Congressional and state elections .... this White House and their supporters in Congress are still deaf, dumb, and blind too all with the exception of their base who support these social policies.

Your comments are getting worse and worse. Your partisan side and agenda is starting to show. I enjoy this blog and hope you don't turn it into another Drudge Report. If they don't repeal this now it will never get done in a Republican controlled house.
Thank you AHo for your comment.
The Drudge Report provides links to news stories on other websites, I try to mix everything together (links and commentary).... which I have no intention to change.
Personally .... I could not care less about issues like DADT or amnesty for illegals. I live in Canada, I am an immigrant (legal), and U.S. issues like DADT and illegals have zero impact on me. What does have an impact on me are the really big issues ..... the wars, high unemployment, uncontrollable U.S. government spending and debt (that impacts the world) .... and international terrorism. This is why President Obama was given grief in the G20 and APEC meetings, and why he will get grief in other international forums. Even the U.S. electorate made it clear a few weeks ago that they are concerned about the direction of where the country is going .... unfortunately .... as I have already mentioned .... the President and his supporters in Congress have a different view .... and they will push their agenda until it passes and/or until they are defeated in the next election.
