PRESIDENCY
EVEN MORE JOBS LOST - The economic miracle of massive government spending doesn't appear to be much of a miracle at all, as even more jobs vanished this past week and the reported unemployment rate stood at 9.5%. (NOTE: Gallup Polls put the real unemployment rate at 10.2 and those underemployed at 18.8%) Most of the newly lost jobs are layoffs by local governments whose stimulus checks have been spent. President Obama's stimulus spending only put off the layoffs by a year. Reality for local governments has arrived.
THE ANSWER? EVEN MORE SPENDING - More, not fewer, people are unemployed after hundreds of billions of dollars in stimulus spending. The answer from the Obama Administration and from Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner is to print even more money and to increase the federal deficit even more. Under Obama the rate of spending has increased to the point that for every two dollars in tax revenue it receives, the federal government spends three dollars. How long can this last?
FEDERAL STUDY ON BAR ROOM BRAWLS - The Obama Administration spent $918,856 of our tax dollars on a study that found that bar fights tend to occur in darker, dirtier bars frequented by heavy drinking people. Who would have guessed? More at CNS News
THE CONGRESS
CONGRESS ADJOURNED - The House and Senate have now both officially adjourned until after the November 2nd election. Numerous polls show that many of the Democrats departing Washington may be returning for a Lame Duck session, but not for full terms next year.

CAMPBELL'S MUSLIM ONLY SOUP - Campbell's Soup of Canada is now producing a line of halal certified soups for Muslims. The Islamic Society of North America is certifying the soups for Campbell's under its "Halal Certification Program." Apparently the giant soup company either did not check or did not care that the ISNA has direct ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, according to Jihad Watch. Already a Boycott Campbell's Soup page has been established at Facebook.
MY OATH TO USA WAS A LIE - Faisal Shahzad, the jihadist who attempted to set off a car bomb in Times Square, has been sentenced to life in prison. At his sentencing hearing this week, Shahzad said he lied when he swore an oath to become a citizen and then said, "Brace yourselves because the war with Muslims has just begun. Consider me the first droplet of the flood that will follow." He then told the judge what virtually all Muslims in America are taught by their imams, "We do not accept your democracy or your freedom because we already have Sharia law." Welcome to the reality of Islam that President Barack Obama and his political correct crowd do not understand.
NO 911 MOSQUE!
MOSQUE OR RABAT? - On Friday, October 8th World Net Daily published my newest commentary on the Ground Zero "mosque" which I now believe to be a "rabat." What is a rabat? Read the article

MUSLIM AREAS IN EUROPE "BAD FOR CHRISTIANS" - A new Pew report says that the growing Muslim population in Europe is bringing with it sharia law. The report states that the situation is "really bad for Christians where Muslims are now in the majority in Europe." A longer article was carried by World Net Daily on the study but it was largely ignored by the mainstream media.
MORE VIOLENCE AGAINST PAKISTANI CHRISTIANS - Islamists had threatened to kill Edwin Paul, an attorney and evangelist in Pakistan. He was ordered to leave his home within 24 hours or face death because he had taken a Muslim to court to collect a debt. Despite the major floods on September 28th, the Muslims carried out the threat, killing him and his entire family. Meanwhile thousands of Pakistani Christians are homeless from the floods but virtually all of the tens of millions of dollars in aid flowing to Pakistan is going only to Muslims. The Pakistani government is also blocking fuel and other supplies from being delivered to NATO troops in Afghanistan. What would America do without "allies" like Pakistan and Saudi Arabia? Probably be a lot better off.

PRESIDENCY
OBAMA OK WITH SAUDI HATE CRIMES - This week Barack Obama meets with the Saudi royalty in Washington, and they will receive royal treatment from the White House despite the fact that the Kingdom distributes books filled with hatred and despicable anti-democratic lies throughout the world. In a recent column Nina Shea of the Hudson Institute wrote: "Saudi textbooks teach, along with many other noxious lessons, that Jews and Christians are "enemies," and they dogmatically instruct that various groups of "unbelievers" - apostates (which includes Muslim moderates who reject Saudi Wahhabi doctrine), polytheists (which includes Shiites), and Jews - should be killed. Under the Saudi Education Ministry's method of rote learning, these teachings amount to indoctrination, starting in first grade and continuing through high school, where militant jihad on behalf of "truth" is taught as a sacred duty. These textbooks are used not only in Saudi Arabia but in Saudi-funded schools around the world." Read full article
OBAMA'S "MODERATE" SUPREME PICK - As Dean of Harvard Law School, Elena Kagan demanded that Blue-Cross - Blue-Shield cover sex-change operations as an "equal right." She also agreed to the Lambda Transgender Task Force demand to force women to share bathrooms and locker-rooms with cross-dressing men. While promoting the homosexual agenda, "moderate" Kagan also supported a multi-million dollar donation from Saudi Arabia to promote Sharia law at Harvard. She apparently sees no contradiction in these positions, even though homosexuals are hung in Saudi Arabia under Sharia law. Kagan claims to be a Jew, but she is a secularist who just hates Christianity. Since both Sharia law and homosexuality are contrary to the Bible, she supports both. Kagan will be confirmed by the Senate and become the most radical Justice on the Supreme Court ever.
THE CONGRESS
ACLU ON THE RIGHT SIDE? - The so called "Disclose Act" passed recently by the House, allegedly to "reform" political campaigns, is the most undemocratic bill ever passed by Congress and is so unconstitutional that even the ACLU is against it. The Disclose Act prohibits the Religious Freedom Coalition, and all other non-profits with a membership of less than one million from publishing comments on candidates for public office up to four months before an election. Why were large organizations allowed to do what the rest of us can't? It's because the far left wing Moveon.org has over one million members, while all conservative groups except the NRA have less than one million. Liberal AARP can comment on candidates, but conservative 60 Plus cannot. Under the proposed law, beginning today, July 2nd, this Religious Freedom Coalition Update would be prohibited from mentioning the pro-abortion views of Senator Harry Reid, for example. (Note that the bill has not yet passed the Senate.) Read the ACLU letter here.
REAFFIRMING IN GOD WE TRUST - ''In God We Trust'' is the official motto of the United States. Congressman Randy Forbes (R-VA) introduced H.Con.Res.274, not only to reaffirm the national motto, but to call on America to trust God once again. The Democrat controlled House has referred the resolution to the Judiciary Committee, Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties. The resolution has 72 cosponsors, most of whom are in the Prayer Caucus. Please contact your congressman about H.Con.Res.274.
CULTURE AND RELIGION
CHRISTIAN "TERRORIST" GIVEN ASYLUM - This was the strangest immigration case I have seen in some thirty years of working on religious freedom issues. THE FACTS: A young man, born into a high ranking Islamic terrorist family, converted to Christianity and worked undercover for Israeli intelligence to stop terror attacks against Israel and the United States, then sought asylum here. The Obama Administration tagged him as a "terrorist sympathizer" and ordered his deportation to the West Bank where he would, of course, be immediately murdered. Rep. Doug Lamborn, R-CO organized a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Napolitano signed by 22 House members urging her to grant asylum to Mosab Hassan Yousef. Israel sent Mr. Yousef's Shin Bet handler, Gonen Ben-Itzhak, to San Diego to testify on behalf of his former agent, but by the time the hearing started this week the Obama Administration realized the publicity was so damning that the Immigration Judge granted Yousef asylum with no witnesses called. But the question remains: Why did the Obama Administration want to send this young hero who had stopped numerous terrorist attacks against Israelis and Americans to his death? Yousef's book, Son of Hamas details his conversion to Christianity. Jerusalem Post version of story is interesting.
SUPREMES: CHRISTIAN GROUPS CAN'T DEMAND CHRISTIAN LEADERS - This week the Supreme Court by a 5-4 vote held that recognized student groups at universities do not have a right to choose members and leaders who adhere to their core beliefs. The Court stated that public universities can require student groups to accept any student as a member or leader regardless of that person's beliefs. Christian groups must accept atheist members and Jewish groups must accept Muslim members, according to the Court. Read more

THE SHAME OF AFGHANISTAN - At the order of Afghan president Karzai, more than 20 Afghan Christians have been arrested. The arrests were made after Abdul Sattar Khawasi, a deputy of the lower house, demanded that Muslim converts to Christianity be executed. He was outraged over an Afghan TV report showing men reciting Christian prayers and being baptized. There are almost 100,000 NATO troops fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan; however, the government we put in power there is just as intolerant of religious freedom as the Taliban. Read report
