PRESIDENCY

"THE JEWS SHOULD LOVE ME" SYNDROME - There was unmistakable hatred in the eyes of President Barack Obama as he listened to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu speak during an Oval Office press conference. The President maintained a glaring stare and sneer on his face as the Prime Minister refused to ethnically cleanse 400,000 Jews from their homes and move them into a nation that would be less than nine miles wide, under Obama's terms. Yet Obama undoubtedly saw the Prime Minister's brave defense of his small nation as insubordination. Liberals such as Barack Obama view all minorities as Democrat Party property. These individuals are supposed to support liberal policies simply because of their race, sex or ethnicity. As a Jew, Prime Minister Netanyahu is expected to follow the current liberal line even if it means the destruction of Israel.

THE CONGRESS 

PROTECTING LIFE AND MARRIAGE IN THE MILITARY -
1. Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO) offered an amendment to the Defense Authorization bill (H.R. 1540) that states that only those marriage ceremonies which conform to the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) can take place on military installations. DOMA defines marriage as a union of one man and one woman. The Department of the Navy had recently given permission for chaplains to perform same-sex marriages, but quickly reversed itself after congressional pressure.

2. Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) also offered an amendment to the Defense Authorization bill on "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" that would require all four military service chiefs to certify that gays in the military won't impact combat readiness or effectiveness before that White House policy allowing open homosexuality is adopted.

3. Rep. Vicky Hartzler (R-M) offered an amendment to the same Defence Authorization bill that emphasizes DOMA in the military. The amendment defines marriage as a one man, one woman union for the military. All three of these military-related amendments passed out of committee and should be retained in the DoD bill.  
PRO-ISRAEL RESOLUTIONS - In response to President Barack Obama's demand that Israel return to pre-1967 borders that are not defendable, resolutions supporting Israel were introduced in the House by Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-T) and in the Senate by Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah. See Gohmert's video statement
JEWISH CHAPLAINS MEMORIAL - Congress has authorized a Jewish Chaplains Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery. Although 13 Jewish chaplains have died while on active duty, there is no memorial in their honor. Groups have been working to change that, and have raised private funds to pay for the memorial, designed the memorial, and now have Congressional authorization from the House needed to erect the memorial. The final vote on H.R. 1627 was 380 to zero with 51 present/not voting.

RELIGION AND CULTURE 
SOCIAL CONSERVATIVES SUPPORT ISRAEL - Leaders of groups representing tens of millions of Americans including American Family Association, Reclaiming America, the Religious Freedom Coalition and others ran full page newspaper and TV ads supporting Israel after the inflammatory statements of President Barack Obama. Under the banner of Israel, You're Not Alone the coalition of organizations met with congressional leaders in Washington this week. ATHEIST NEWDOW LAWSUIT KICKED OUT - The Supreme Court rejected atheist Michael Newdow's case challenging "So Help Me God" in the Presidential Oath. This is the second case this year that Newdow has lost at the Supreme Court level. The Court also refused to hear Newdow's case challenging "In God We Trust" on U.S. currency.
SEX CHANGE FOR SEVEN-YEAR-OLDS? - Dr. Norman Spack is a pediatrician who has opened a clinic at Boston Children's Hospital to treat kids as young as seven years old who are "confused about their gender identity." Instead of counseling the youngsters to help them gain confidence in their own God-given biological gender, Dr. Spack and his associates, and the pathetic excuses for parents who bring their children to this clinic, are engaged in something much more disturbing.

NO 911 MOSQUE

ACLU DEFENDS SHARIA - The ACLU, which was among the first to, in their words, "applaud and congratulate" efforts to build the Ground Zero Mosque, is also among the foremost defenders of sharia law in America. The ACLU has mounted an offensive against the fifteen states which have adopted or are considering the adoption of legislation to ban sharia and other foreign or international laws from being considered in their courts.

INTERNATIONAL 

MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD: SHARIA FOR EGYPT - A Muslim Brotherhood leader declared that Islamic Sharia Law would be imposed in Egypt if they come to power. Sobhi Saleh, a Muslim Brotherhood leader, claimed Sharia would protect not only Muslims but also those non-Muslims who pay the Jizya (protection money). Obama plans on giving more than $1 billion this year to Egypt. Read more

CHRISTIAN SISTERS KIDNAPPED AND FORCED TO MARRY MUSLIMS - In Faisalabad, Pakistan a powerful Muslim businessman, with the help of a group of accomplices, kidnapped two Christian sisters, forced them to convert to Islam and marry him. The girl's father reported the kidnapping to the police but the police blocked investigations by reversing the facts: they said the daughters fled because of their father's violence. A priest from the diocese of Faisalabad points out that the kidnapping of young women has become "common practice", because the authorities and police are "puppets in the hands of extremists." PLEASE NOTE TWO KEY ITEMS .. Both girls were forced to marry the same man. Islam allows men to have up to four wives. Read more

Obama wants indefensible borders for Israel / Social conservative groups support Israel, run full page ad in DC / Congressional resolution to support Israel / Senate blocks Obama's judge / Muslim US attorney for Jihad? / Who is paying for the new giant Brooklyn mosque / Israel rejects Obama demand for 1967 border / Missiles in Latin America; what would John F. Kennedy do?

PRESIDENCY
OBAMA WANTS INDEFENSIBLE BORDERS FOR ISRAEL - Today President Barack Obama joined the chorus of radical Muslims calling for Israel to return to its 1967 borders, giving Israel less total square miles than the city of Houston, Texas. The 1967 borders are not defensible and at some points Israel is not even eight miles wide. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was to meet with Obama on Friday, and Obama chose Thursday to make his dramatic remarks to appease Muslims worldwide. In previous meetings Obama has shown total disrespect for the Israeli prime minister, on one occasion making him enter through a side door. Obama's callus attitude toward Israel has cost him some very large liberal Jewish donors as well as Jewish voters. Still be persists in calling for Israel to return to its pre-1967 borders which is in essence suicide for that nation. Tel Aviv airport will be within the range of a simple mortar attack and Tel Aviv itself a prime target for rockets. In effect Obama has called for the destruction of Israel.  
CONSERVATIVE GROUPS SUPPORT ISRAEL - When Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu arrived in Washington, DC this week he was greeted by a full page ad in the Washington, DC edition of the Wall Street Journal showing the support of numerous social conservative organizations including the Religious Freedom Coalition. The ad, which was signed by numerous social conservative leaders including myself, conveyed the message from millions of Americans to Israel that, "You are not alone." There was also a message in the ad for President Barack Obama that Israel should not and cannot be abandoned. Read more

THE CONGRESS 
SUPPORTING ISRAEL - Majority Leader Eric Cantor filed a bi-partisan resolution in support of Israel. The resolution calls for President Obama's ambassador to the United Nations to veto any move to have an independent state declared for Palestinians. The majority Islamic nations and the anti-Semites of Europe want to reduce the size of Israel so that the Jews there can eventually be exterminated. Please contact your congressman and ask him to support H. Res. 268  
SENATE GOP BLOCKS RADICAL OBAMA NOMINEE - Today Republicans in the Senate blocked the confirmation of the most radical judicial candidate Obama has yet put forward, Berkeley college professor Goodwin Liu, a man who has never served as a lower court judge and has hardly ever even argued a case before a federal court. If confirmed he would have become a federal judge on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals for life. Read more!

RELIGION AND CULTURE 
BURNING QUR'AN IS BIG NEWS, PLOTTING TO MURDER IS NOT - Just down the road from where Rev. Terry Jones made headlines talking about burning a Qur'an, two other religious leaders were arrested for conspiracy to murder, maim and kidnap victims in the name of their god. They had even raised and sent funds to a known terrorist organization. The father and son imams were arrested in Florida and other arrest warrants were issued, but don't look for the story on the front page of the New York Times as that paper is using its space to report on "Islamophobia." Read more 
NEW MUSLIM US ATTORNEY SAID ISRAELIS ARE LIKE NAZIS - He has led marches against Israel and he shouted out the name of a terrorist leader. He has been an activist in numerous Islamic organizations with a hatred for Jews and Israel. As of this week he is also the new Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan. His name is Abed Hammoud, and he will be prosecuting cases associated with terror. Sadly, this is not a joke. Read more

NO 911 MOSQUE
WHO IS FUNDING HUGE BROOKLYN MOSQUE? - Concerned residents of Sheepshead Bay in Brooklyn formed a group called Bay People to stop construction of a large mosque in their neighborhood, but lost their appeal in court on May 10th. Yet some of the problems they first pointed out last summer do not seem to have been addressed. The mosque is apparently being funded by the Muslim American Society, a branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, and is an organization which "has a troubling history of associations with radical organizations and individuals that promote terrorism" Read more

INTERNATIONAL 

ISRAEL REJECTS '67 BORDER - Prime Minister Netanyahu rejected President Obama's call for Israel to return to the 1967 borders saying, "Israel believes that in order for peace to prevail, the establishment of a Palestinian state cannot come at the expense of the State of Israel's existence." His statement continued, "The Palestinians, and not only the United States, must recognize Israel as the Jewish people's nation-state."  
WHAT WOULD JOHN F. KENNEDY DO? - German newspaper Die Welt reported this past week that Iran is building missile silos in Venezuela. This is a clear indication that Iran is doing far more than supplying Venezuela with defensive anti-aircraft systems. The Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez and Iranian madman Mahmoud Ahmadinejad are allies and have signed numerous pacts. One of those allows for mining of uranium in Venezuela for sale to Iran. When it was discovered that the Soviet Union was shipping missiles to Cuba in 1960, President John F. Kennedy threatened war to stop them. What will President Obama do?

Don't move deadly rockets closer to Israel's families

When Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu arrives in Washington, DC this week he will be greeted by a full page ad in the Wall Street Journal showing the support of numerous social conservative organizations including the Religious Freedom Coalition. The full page ad ran in the Washington, DC regional edition of the Wall Street Journal and was seen by virtually every congressman and Senator.

The pressure on Israel to give up land, including a large part of their capital city of Jerusalem, has never been greater. Each time Israel has given up their land for the promise of “peace,” the people of that tiny nation have instead been bombarded by rockets fired from an even closer range. If those rockets are moved to the 1967 border as the PLO and Hamas now demand, Tel Aviv will be an easy target to hit.

President Obama has now joined the radical Muslim voices of the world to call for Israel to be reduced to its 1967 border, a border that cannot be defended.

In the years after Israel handed over control of the Gaza Strip in September, 2005 and evicted nearly 8,500 Israeli citizens, thousands of rockets and tens of thousands of mortar shells have been fired into Israel. Homes, schools, malls and even day care centers have been hit. Innocent civilians have been killed and injured by these attacks in Israel. Most recently an anti-tank missile hit an Israeli school bus.

A surrender of more land by Israel will only move the deadly missiles closer to the population centers of Israel. The Jewish people, given the land by Jehovah in a lasting covenant, should not be forced to surrender even another hectare. The advertisement in the Wall Street Journal is meant as an encouragement to Prime Minister Netanyahu and the people of Israel. The ad concludes by telling Prime Minister Netanyahu, “We, the undersigned, encourage President Obama, the State Department, the Congress, and the whole of the United States of America to stand unwavering with you, without further sacrificing Israel’s sovereignty, safety, or security. See full page ad 

TV as well!

Not only does the full page ad appear in the Wall Street Journal on Thursday, May 19th, but in the Jerusalem Post on Friday, May 20th to let the people of Israel know that there are still millions of Americans standing with them. The coalition of groups from across the United States is also running an a TV commercial on the Fox News channel.

PRESIDENCY

OBAMA CELEBRATES POLICE WEEK - For "Police Week" President Obama and the First Lady invited a rapper to the White House who has written racist songs that call for killing cops. One of the songs celebrates a cop killer with a $1 million FBI reward on her head. So committed is the rapper, named Common, that he even named his daughter Assata Shakur, after a convicted cop killer. The White House responded that his words have been taken out of context. Common attended the same church as Barack Obama for 20 years, where the pastor was controversial black racist Jeremiah Wright. 
SAME-SEX NAVY MARRIAGES - This week the Navy, with the blessings of the White House, gave an official OK for chaplains to marry homosexuals. In military terms "OK" means chaplains were ordered to conduct same-sex marriages. Within 48 hours the order was rescinded after it was pointed out that the Navy is not a sovereign State and that there is an existing federal law against same-sex marriage.
 

THE CONGRESS 

EMPOWER INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM - Congressman Frank Wolf (R-VA) introduced legislation to amend the International Religious Freedom Act (IRFA), to make international religious freedom a greater priority. Wolf authored the 1998 law establishing the International Religious Freedom (IRF) Office at the State Department, headed by an ambassador at-large, and creating the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF). Among the new legislation requirementss, the Secretary of State in coordination with the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, Treasury and the U.S. Agency for International Development, must issue a one-time report to Congress on the best uses of foreign assistance to promote religious freedom and religious engagement.

RELIGION AND CULTURE 

TEN COMMANDMENTS WEEKEND - For nearly a decade I have been working with the Ten Commandments Commission to pass a Congressional resolution designating the first weekend in May as Ten Commandments Weekend. A key sponsor of the resolution in the Senate was Sam Brownback who is now governor of Kansas. This year Governor Brownback did indeed issue a Proclamation making every first weekend in May "Ten Commandments Weekend" in Kansas 
BANKRUPT BUT GAY FRIENDLY - The California Senate has passed a bill requiring public schools to be "gay friendly." The Fair, Accurate, Inclusive, and Respectful Education Act (FAIR) requires teaching about the history of the homosexual movement. Textbooks, class studies and materials would be required to treat favorably homosexuals, bisexuals and transgenders. The bashing of white men, Jews, Christians, the Founding Fathers of the nation and anything European would still be permitted unless, of course, they were found to be gay. Not wanting to look too foolish, the California legislature is also working to outlaw square bottom sheets on hotel beds. The proposed law would require hotels and motels to have fitted sheets. There was no word as to whether the fitted sheets were "gay friendly." At some time in the future the California legislature plans on looking into the fact that the state is bankrupt and can't pay its bills or salaries.
ANOTHER HONOR KILLING IN MICHIGAN - A Muslim man tracked his stepdaughter through four states, at last finding the girl, who had escaped her home in Minnesota and was trying to hide from him. He had threatened to kill her for bringing "dishonor" to his family. The "dishonor" was acting like a typical American girl. Rahim Alfetlawi found Jessica Mokdad, 20, in Warren, Michigan and killed her.

ANOTHER NEW YORK MEGA MOSQUE - While plans to build a mega mosque at Ground Zero get most of the media attention, another hotly contested mosque construction project is already underway not far away in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Sheepshead Bay. Local residents have protested and formed a group called Bay People and another called Sheepshead Bay Patriots. They have sought an injunction to stop the mosque construction, but their request was thrown out by Judge Mark Partnow on May 10, 2011. Read more

MORE ATTACKS ON EGYPTIAN CHURCHES - Two more churches in Egypt were attacked and destroyed. At least 12 died and hundreds of Christians were injured defending the churches from mobs of Muslim men. At St. Mary's, police did not arrive at the scene until two full hours after the attacks began. There was no mention of the atrocities by the Obama White House and no pressure is being placed on the Egyptian government to stop the attacks against religious minorities.  
MORE CHRISTIANS DIE IN NIGERIA - At least 16 people were killed in a pre-dawn attack Friday in the Christian village of Kurum in northern Nigeria. The Muslim attackers, which the Western media referred to as "unidentified gunmen," attacked a farming village in Bauchi state killing at least 16 Christians. More than 20 houses were burned to the ground. There was no condemnation of the attacks by the White House or the State Department. A pastor's account of the murder of his wife and daughter.

PRESIDENCY
SCREWING UP VICTORY - President Barack Obama scored a major victory for America and for himself with the track down and killing of Osama Bin Laden, and then he proceeded to confuse it by telling various versions of that victory. First there was a major fire fight at the mansion of Osama bin Laden lasting 40 minutes in which Bin Laden was killed resisting. The minute I heard this version I knew it was fiction. Any time the SEALs are involved in a 40 minute battle, something has gone horribly wrong. The actual fire fight took less than 2 minutes and the remaining 38 minutes were used to carry off computers, bodies and clean up the general mess of a crashed helicopter. Although that is what happened, this version has still not been told. In the second version the White House said that Bin Laden was unarmed but using a woman to shield himself, refusing to surrender with no time given for the fire fight. The last version had only one of Bin Laden's defenders fighting back and Bin Laden acting cowardly. REALITY: None of the versions, now numbering around six or seven, were ever needed. All the President needed to say was, "We killed him." Thanks to the various versions of events from the White House the UN now wants to investigate the "assassination" to determine if "justice" was done.  

RESET IN THE MIDDLE EAST - President Obama says a "reset" is happening in the Middle East with the so-called "Arab Spring." There is a reset, all right. The new Egyptian government run by the military has now brokered a marriage between the two warring Palestinian factions, Fatah and Hamas. On May 1st Egypt also opened their common border with the Gaza Strip allowing a free flow of materials, including arms. As the BBC put it: "The new call marks a move away from Egypt's past compliance with the United States and Israel, which have strongly opposed the Palestinian authority's campaign to win backing for a unilateral declaration of statehood." Congratulations Mr. Obama, you have a new Middle East; now what will you do with it?
OBAMA ORDERED MUSLIM FUNERAL FOR OSAMA - Islamic Religious rites were conducted on the deck of the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier for Osama Bin Laden before his body was "respectfully" lowered into the Persian Gulf. The body of bin Laden was washed twice in accordance with Islamic practice, and wrapped in a white sheet before being buried at sea. This is the same President Barack Obama who has so little respect for Christian chaplains in the military that he wants them to preach that homosexuality is an acceptable practice. How odd.
 
THE CONGRESS 
HOUSE PASSES BAN ON ABORTION FUNDING - On Wednesday the House of Representatives attempted to codify what is widely known as the "Hyde Amendment" with a bill to permanently ban any federal funding of abortion. Democrats, led by radical minority leader Nancy Pelosi, called the bill a "war on women." "This is the will of the American people and it ought to be the law of the land," said House Speaker John Boehner (R.-Ohio) noting that polls show 70% of Americans are against public funding for abortions. HR-3 passed 251 to 175, with 235 Republicans and 16 Democrats voting in favor. The bill must now pass in the Senate which is controlled by Democrat Harry Reid who champions funding for the destruction of the unborn. 
CONGRESSMAN SAYS STOP FUNDING PAKISTAN - Congressman Allen West (R-FL) has spearheaded the drive to stop funding for Pakistan in light of the United States locating Usama Bin Laden in a mansion in the same city as Pakistan's elite military academy. West also comments on Pakistan's efforts to persuade the Afghan government to abandon the USA in favor of a treaty with China.See video

CHRISTIAN SCHOOL ATTACKED IN PAKISTAN - On Saturday, April 30, stone-wielding Muslims smashed up a Christian school and attempted to attack a church in Lahore, Pakistan. A mob of more than 500 Muslim men gathered in the suburbs of Gujranwala district near Lahore, after Muslim clerics claimed that two pages of a burnt Koran were found in a Christian cemetery.

Pakistan was protecting Osama Bin Laden

Osama Bin Laden was killed in his mansion in Abbottabad, Pakistan. Abbottabad is the home of the Pakistani army’s military academy. The town is in effect the Pakistani version of West Point. Just one week ago, Pakistan's Army Chief of Staff, Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, spoke to graduating cadets in Abbottabad stating that the "back of terrorism" in Pakistan had been broken. Osama Bin Laden’s mansion was just a few hundred yards away from where Kayani spoke. 

Bin Laden was not in a spartan cave in the mountains as most of the world thought, but in a mansion on the outskirts of the town's center. The villa compound sits on an imposing hilltop and it is surrounded by 12-foot-high concrete walls which are several feet thick. Razor wire tops the walls of the compound.  Local authorities valued the property at $1 million in a nation in which the average home is worth only a few thousand dollars. Fox News reported that intelligence analysts determined the compound "was custom-built to hide someone of significance.”

Given the fact that Bin Laden lived in a mansion near a military academy, are we to believe that Pakistan’s military and intelligence officials knew nothing of the compound and its al-qaeda residents until a Seal team of 40 men flew in and killed the terror mastermind? The facts are undeniable that high officials in Pakistan’s military and intelligence community had to know that this was indeed Bin Laden’s lair.

Pakistani intelligence and military officials have pretended for years to look for Bin Laden while pocketing billions in military and other aid from the United States. Further proof is in the meeting within the last two weeks in which Pakistan encouraged Afghanistan’s President Karzai to dump the United States in favor of a treaty with Pakistan, China and the Taliban. 

The military aid the United States has furnished Pakistan for its conventional forces has freed up  the Muslim nation’s own funds, allowing it to double its nuclear arsenal in the last ten years and to become more of a threat to its democratic Hindu neighbor, India.

Given these facts and the continued persecution of Christians and other minorities in Pakistan, it is clear that United States aid dollars should stop flowing now. The United States borrows 40 cents of every dollar that it currently spends. Borrowing money to fund a state that protects terrorists and persecutes religious minorities with blasphemy and other sharia based laws, is an abomination that must be stopped now.
