The Presidency
Obama embracing jihadists worldwide? - A growing body of evidence suggests the Obama administration is siding with radical Islamists around the world. An invitation to Washington for talks has been extended to Nafie Ali Nafie, a senior adviser to Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir who is under indictment by the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity (which by law prohibits his travel to the United States). "Such a meeting in Washington is an extraordinary reward to a regime that is guilty of serial genocide," writes analyst Eric Reeves. Read more
Obama Pentagon advisor's hate speech - "We face incredibly well-funded gangs of fundamentalist Christian monsters who terrorize their fellow Americans by forcing their weaponized and twisted version of Christianity upon their helpless subordinates in our nation's armed forces." Read more
Obama asks God to bless abortionists - Barack Obama was the first president ever to speak at a Planned Parenthood event, so it perhaps should not be shocking that when to took the stage he asked God to bless abortionists who kill the most helpless and innocent among us. Read more
Congress
Congressman supports National Day of Prayer - Congressman Roger Aderholt (R-AL) has taken on the task of supporting the National Day of Prayer in the nation's Capitol. Again this year he arranged for the Cannon Caucus Room to be used for the national event led by Shirley Dobson and Yvette Bright. Read more Congressman Frank Wolf also spoke at the event, highlighting the persecution of Christians worldwide.
No tax dollars for jihadists - The Religious Freedom Coalition has begun an online petition asking congressmen to speak out against any funding, military or otherwise, to jihadists anywhere in the world. The petition comes at a time the Obama Administration is furnishing help from the CIA, as well as cash and "humanitarian" aid, to jihadists fighting the secular government of Syria. Provide your name and zip code, and a copy of the petition will be faxed to your congressman free of charge. See petition here.

Religion and Culture
Admiral defies Obama, vows to share faith - Rear Admiral William D. Lee vowed to continue to share his Christian faith at the National Day of Prayer observance on Capitol Hill this week. The Admiral spoke 'from the heart,' pledging not to back down from "my right under the Constitution to tell a young man that there is hope." Read more
Saudi diplomat in USA holding slaves? - Two women were rescued from a Saudi diplomat's home after it was raided for human trafficking. The home in northern Virginia is owned by the Saudi Arabian government. Customs Enforcement spokesman Brandon Montgomery said the women - who are from the Philippines - were possible victims of domestic servitude. Read more
Teach your children our country's Christian heritage - Do your children and grandchildren know the role Christian faith played in the founding of our country? Most public schools today teach a politically correct version of American history, a version even most adults over thirty would not recognize. To help youngsters understand the true story of America, my good friend Governor Mike Huckabee and his team at Learn Our History have created a series of animated DVD's. You can get a sample DVD called One Nation under God free of charge.

THE PRESIDENCY

NOTHING HAPPENED IN NIGERIA? - Journalists counted more than 500 bodies of Christians after a bloody attack by Muslims in central Nigeria. One mass grave in Dogo Na Hawa contains 332 Christians who were buried on Monday according to the Nigerian Red Cross. Although Nigeria is half Christian, it has a Muslim president. Officially the government police claim that only 109 died and say it was a reprisal for Muslim cattle being killed in January. Actually there were more than 300 Christians killed in January in the same area. President Obama has no comment on the massacre of Christians. Instead he is preparing for a trip to Muslim Indonesia where he is expected to make another speech thanking Islam for its great contributions to civilization.  
OBAMA'S MARCH OF FOLLY - Everything is being ignored at the White House to concentrate on forcing the Democrat Party controlled Congress to pass Obama Care. The threat of Iranian nukes has been forgotten, our allies are ignored, and the unemployment situation goes to the back of the bus. Obama has even delayed his apology tour to Indonesia by three days to concentrate on talking to members of his own party in the House to vote for Obama Care. Two highly regarded Democrat pollsters had this to say in the Washington Post: "Their blind persistence in the face of reality threatens to turn this political march of folly into an electoral rout in November." Read more of their op-ed.

THE CONGRESS

TEN COMMANDMENTS RESOLUTION COMING - The language for the new Ten Commandments Weekend resolution has been completed and was filed by Congressman Paul Broun (R-GA) today. Ron Wexler of the Ten Commandments Commission and I have been working with various congressional offices for weeks to prepare a resolution. Ten Commandments Weekend is the first weekend in May and will coincide with the May Day 2010, a day of repentance and prayer to be held at the Lincoln Memorial. Please contact your congressman and ask for his support  
HOUSE AT A DEAD STOP - Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has canceled virtually all committee hearings to have her "team" work full time in getting the votes for taking over one sixth of the American economy with Obama Care. Not even in war time has the entire process of the House been nearly shut down to work on one bill. Democrats have over a forty seat majority and it is her own party that seems not to want to go along with her "march of folly" toward the cliff. Meanwhile the nation's business is being ignored.
"WE WANT PAID ABORTIONS" - Pro-life Democrat Bart Stupak, (D-MI) was told by committee Chairman Waxman that the leadership does want to fund abortion in a national health care plan. On a radio show Stupak recited a conversation between the two men: "I gave him the language. He came back a little while later and said, 'But we want to pay for abortions.' I said, 'Mr. Chairman, that's -- we disagree. We don't do it now, we're not going to start.' "'But we think (we) should,'" Stupak said Waxman told him. Read more

Speaker Polosi now thinks she has bought off enough congressmen to pass Obama Care without Stupak and his pro-lifers. She is scheduling a vote for next week.

CULTURE AND RELIGION

VICTORY FOR "IN GOD WE TRUST" - The decision by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which ruled that the national motto, "In God We Trust," does not violate the U.S. Constitution, is a victory in the fight to halt the continuing destruction of our nation's religious heritage. This is a victory to savor considering the far left tendencies of the Court. Atheist Michael Newdow who brought the suit against the national motto, also lost a previous court battle against the words "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance. The Pledge case remains in that Court.  
JIHAD JANE - A Pennsylvania woman known to authorities as "JihadJane" was charged in federal court this week with using the Internet to recruit jihadist fighters. She seemed obsessed with killing Lars Vilks, the Swedish cartoonist who drew the cartoon of Mohammed that caused riots in many parts of the Muslim world. Read more on Jihad Jane. Meanwhile seven more people were also arrested in Ireland for plotting to kill Lars Vilks. Great story on this in the London Times.

INTERNATIONAL

CHRISTIANS SLAUGHTERED IN NIGERIA -The Muslims came in the middle of the night and fired guns into the air. When the women and children ran from their homes they were slaughtered with machetes. Pregnant women, children and infants were not spared. President Bill Clinton sprang into action and bombed Christian Serbia for weeks when less was done to Muslims in that nation. Eventually, a part of Christian Serbia was taken to provide an independent Muslim nation in Europe. But, when Christians are massacred there seems not to be much interest in Washington, DC. Read more  
ISLAMIC TERROR COUNT - In the last seven days Islamic terror attacks (that we know about) have killed in the following countries: Iraq 59, Lebanon 1, Nigar 5, Nigeria 528, Pakistan 61, Somalia 46, Thailand 5, and Yemen 2. More were injured than killed. For more details go to http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/.
