THE PRESIDENCY

MAN CAUSED DISASTERS? - In an interview with a German magazine, Homeland Security boss Janet Napolitano said, "... I did not use the word 'terrorism,' I referred to 'man-caused disasters'." And she continued, "That is perhaps only a nuance, but it demonstrates that we want to move away from the politics of fear toward a policy of being prepared for all risks that can occur." Napolitano may be in way over her head and not intellectually capable of handling her job, but in this absurd statement she is not demonstrating just her own opinions. She is reflecting the views of her boss, President Barack Obama. The school yard bully is a good observer. He does not beat up the strong and take their lunch money; no, he targets the weak. Obama and his failed security chief are sending a message to the bullies, which in this case are Islamic terrorists. Meanwhile, Michael Leiter, director of the National Counterterrorism Center, stayed on the ski slopes during the attempted Christmas Day jihad attack in Detroit. He stayed on vacation and did not return to Washington until several days after the attempted bombing of the aircraft. SOMETIMES BLAMING BUSH IS APPROPRIATE - As bad as Obama may be in dealing with the threats against our nation, the politically correct approach to Islamic jihad began with George W. Bush. His constant references to Islam as a religion of peace, and the fact that he allowed hundreds of thousands of Muslims to legally enter the United States even as he turned his back on Christian refugees from Iraq and other Muslim nations, set the stage for domestic attacks. Nadir Hasan, the Ft. Hood jihadist, was educated and promoted by the US Army under the watch of George W. Bush. While Obama's weakness has triggered more terror, some of the seeds were planted on our soil by Bush.
MY HEART BURNS FOR JIHAD - "My heart burns to ashes because of my love for jihad." Those are the words of the medical doctor who blew himself up and killed seven CIA employees and injured even more in Afghanistan this month. Dr. Abu Dajana Al-Khorasani was a Jordanian whom the CIA believed they had recruited to work for them. Did they not read his wife's books on Jihad? Did they not know that his wife had translated an anti-Western book written by Saddam Hussein? Why was this man not even searched as he entered a US military base? The answer of course is the poison of political correctness, from the White House through the CIA all the way to the graveyard. Had Al-Khorasani been an Iraqi Christian refugee, he would have been strip searched. The dead doctor is now a Jihadist hero whose posthumous article on his love of Jihad and hatred for America is appearing throughout the "Islamic world." Read the killer doctor's article.
OBAMA'S FIRST TRANSGENDER APPOINTEE? - Presidential appointee Amanda Simpson began working this week as senior technical adviser in the Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security. Known as "Mitch" before a sex change operation, Simpson worked at Raytheon's missile division. He/she also won the Democratic primary for a congressional seat in Arizona in 2004 but lost in the general election. Although it is believed that this is Obama's first "transgender" appointee, no one can be really sure.

THE CONGRESS

HOUSE AND SENATE IN RECESS - The House and Senate have been in recess for Christmas and New Year's Day. The House will reconvene on Tuesday, January 12th. The Senate will not reconvene until Tuesday the 19th which is the day after Martin Luther King Day.  
SECRETLY MEETING EVEN IN RECESS - Even though the House and Senate are officially in recess, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi are holding secret meetings on Capitol Hill to reconcile the House and Senate versions of Obama's "Health care reform" bill. Although rules call for a "conference committee" to reconcile differences in House and Senate bills, that will not happen in this case because Republicans would have to be a part of the negotiations. The meetings are at secret times, at secret locations and even the negotiators' names are not being released. Watch the video of Barack Obama claiming that his "health care" bill would be "transparent" and that all negotiations would be on CPSAN.
MAYO CLINIC SAYS NO TO MEDICARE - Barack Obama has pointed out the Mayo Clinic as an example of how medical care in the United States should be. In reality, Congress has voted such low reimbursement for Medicare that the Mayo Clinic has had to limit Medicare patients. Last year Mayo Clinic lost $830 million on Medicare. BUT ... Senator Harry Reid and Speaker Nancy Pelosi have stripped another half a trillion dollars from Medicare and will lower reimbursement about 21% from what it is now.

CULTURE AND RELIGION

HEROIN USE FOR DUMMIES - New York City has produced a comic book for free distribution with instructions on how to properly and "safely" inject heroin. The city spent $32,000 to print 72,000 of the "guides." The distribution program has been criticized by virtually all authorities on drug use, but Mayor Bloomberg continues to defend the expense to taxpayers.

Oddly, Osama Bin Laden uses examples in our society such as heroin use as reasons for jidhad. He and other jihadists proclaim that the United States is a godless Satan that must be destroyed.  
ISLAMBERG A GHOST TOWN? - Dr. Paul L. Williams reported in Jihad Watch that Islamberg, New York has become a near ghost town. The young men who once studied Jihad and weapons training at Islamberg and other Muslim only villages in the United States have vanished. The town's underground bunkers and underground firing ranges seem to be going unused. Have the jihadists gone to Afghanistan or Yemen for advanced weapons training, or are they still in the United States? No one is sure and authorities, fearful of accusations of "profiling," make it clear they do not monitor the activities in Muslim only towns. Read more

MORE CHRISTIANS KILLED IN EGYPT - Coptic Christians celebrate Christmas on January, 7th. Muslims chose that day to open fire on Christians as they left Christmas services in Nagaa Hammadi. Six Christians were killed and seven others wounded, two severely. The killings came after a film was shown on international TV exposing the rapes of young Christians girls by adult Muslim men. In reprisal the Christians were murdered for a rumored rape of a Muslim that was never reported to police. Read more

THE PRESIDENCY

INTERNATIONAL CRIME TO CRITICIZE ISLAM? - This week the 47-member United Nations Human Rights Council adopted a "defamation of religions" resolution by a vote of 23 in favor, with 11 votes against and 13 abstentions. The United States is not currently a member of the Council. This official United Nations body has collectively spit in the face of religious freedom by passing a resolution that literally calls for banning individual religious freedom. This gives cover to Muslim nations to continue to persecute Christians and other non-Muslims. While the Bush Administration criticized such wanton acts by the United Nations, not a word has come out of the Obama White House. Perhaps Mr. Obama agrees that religious freedom should be eliminated. See Trent Frank's letter in Congress section.

SENATE FAILS TO STOP OBAMA TAX HIKE ON CHARITABLE GIVING - Senator John Thune's "Sense of the Senate" resolution expressing support for the current federal income tax deduction for charitable giving was defeated in the Senate Thursday by just one vote. President Obama wants Congress to reduce the deduction, which would result in less charitable giving nationwide. Read statement from Senator Thune.

THE CONGRESS

CONGRESSMAN TELLS CLINTON AGAIN THAT IRAQI CHRISTIANS NEED HELP - Congressman Frank Wolf (R-VA) has written a third and even stronger letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton concerning the conditions of Iraqi Christians. Clinton seems to have ignored the first two letters, which were responded to by a low ranking official at the State Department. Read Congressman Wolf's Letter.

TRENT FRANK'S LETTER ON "DEFAMATION OF RELIGION - The day before the United Nations Human Rights Council voted to criminalize individual rights of freedom of religious expression, Congressman Trent Franks wrote a compelling letter spelling out the dangers of their action. Congressman Franks is co-chair of the Congressional International Religious Freedom Caucus. Read letter at his Internet site.

ABORTION MILL OWNER'S FAMILY TRAGEDY - The tragic plane crash into a Montana grave yard that killed three entire families this past week, has received widespread attention and sympathy. What is not mentioned is that the plane was leased by one of California's largest operators of abortion clinics. The owner of the abortion company often let his family use the plane for pleasure trips, and when it crashed last week he lost two daughters and five grandchildren. The plane crashed into a Catholic cemetery, very near a monument to the victims of abortion. Read more

TOWN FOR CHRISTIANS ONLY? - If a town declared itself for Christians only, there would be outrage from the left. The ACLU and other leftist organizations would file lawsuits and law enforcement would investigate. BUT ... a Muslim only town founded by a man who also founded a terrorist group is just fine with the left and the ACLU. The anti-gun left does not even mind that Islamberg, with just 100 people, has a gun range to practice their skills. Can you imagine what kind of rights the women there have? Don't expect any outrage from NOW or other left leaning "women's groups. Read more

INTERNATIONAL

APPEARANCE ON RUSSIA TODAY - On Tuesday, March 24th I appeared on the television show Russia Today, live during the prime evening news hour in Moscow. The occasion of the segment was to mark the tenth anniversary of the bombing campaign by NATO on Serbia. At the time, President Bill Clinton believed that the establishment of a Muslim nation in the heart of Europe would win America allies. The goal was to remove the province of Kosovo from Serbia and establish it as a separate Muslim nation. Since that time Christians in Kosovo have suffered persecution that has included murders and the destruction of churches built in the 13th and 14th centuries. Click here to view the broadcast of the show I appeared on. NOTE: After Bill Clinton's term ended as president he received tens of millions of dollars in income from Muslim nations. Read more

BRUSSELS IS ONE QUARTER MUSLIM - Filip Dewinter, a leader of the separatist party Vlaams Belang, predicts a civil war when Belgians realize that the capitol city of Belgium and the seat of the European Union government is about to be taken over by Muslims. It is estimated that 3 of the 19 sections of Brussels, which each have their own mayor, are majority Muslim. Can Sharia law be far behind? Read more

CLINTON PETITION DRIVE - The Religious Freedom Coalition has begun a petition drive asking Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to formulate a policy to stop the persecution of Christians in Iraq and to aid those Iraqi Christians who have been forced to flee.
