Countrywide Financial

Not being funny or anything, but if you can't get Shaq to front your mortgage there's always prayer. The White House Office for Faith Based and Community Initiatives was created by an Executive Order in 2001 to allow churches and the like to compete for federal funding. Funding for Faith Based Initiatives must be used to create wealth and prosperity. Two examples of this are improving the telecommunications fiber including, cable wireless, and satellite in rural Appalachia and the home renovators Faith, Bricks & Mortar, Inc. of New Jersey.

Sarah Hemmings

The story of the affair between Thomas Jefferson and his slave Sally Hemmings given name Sarah came to the forefront when DNA genetic testing was able to trace one of Hemmings' children to the twenty five male Jeffersons that visited the Monticello estate in Virginia during 1802. Finally, the story of Sarah Hemmings' travails with Thomas Jefferson to Paris was able to surface because the Y-chromosomal DNA attributed to all Jefferson's male descendants could be traced to her son Eston Hemmings' line by private Dr. Eugene Foster. On the contrary, the descendants of West Ford a favored slave that lived on George Washington's Mount Vernon estate were not fortunate to discover conclusive scientific proof of George Washington's lineage with their family. The DNA test performed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation was to determine whether a sampling stray hairs found in historic institutions and private collections truly belonged to the first president. The FBI tested seventh generation George Washington female descendants because women carry a family's entire genetic sequence and pass it on to their children. As for West Ford, the 1994 test proved inconclusive because the Washington's hairs did not come from Mount Vernon and only showed a limited sequence. The Ford family avers that there are no Bushrods or Corbins in the family lineage. Although West Ford's body is now missing from George Washington's family crypt, I suppose the answer to the mystery could possibly be extracted from George Washington's Masonic Memorial.

Pennies from Heaven

Back to Quran Folsom, there is a common superstition is that money attracts money and that you never give a pocketbook without something in it.

Shariah or literally "Pathway to Water" prohits the charging of interest and investing in breweries or casinos. The hidden truth is that shariah law funds islamic extremism in violation of United States racketeering laws. Because Islam requires tithing to muslim charities, shariah finacing can amount to the reemergence of the mob. The connection between religious and community involvment and organized crime is not a stretch of the imagination, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters offers a scholarship in the memory of Jimmy Hoffa.
