The Presidency
Obama "not involved" during Benghazi attack - The White House told the public that President Obama was in touch and intently watching the situation in Benghazi, Libya as our Ambassador and three others died. But in sworn testimony this week, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said that Obama was absent on the evening of September 11, 2012. Panetta told Congress the Commander-in-Chief left everything, including knowledge of what resources were available to help the besieged Americans, "up to us." Read more
Obama's Egypt to try children for "insulting Islam" - Barack Hussein Obama and his European counterparts backed the Muslim Brotherhood takeover of formerly secular nations in the Middle East, including Egypt. The result is horror for the Christian communities. The trial of two Christian children for "insulting Islam" is just one example. The children, Nabil Naji Rizq and Mina Atallah are just 10 and 9 years old, and are accused of insulting the Koran because a Muslim man saw them playing in rubbish that he claimed included pages from the Koran.

Congress
Bachmann was right about Islamists in Administration - Congresswoman Michele Bachmann provoked the rage of the far left and their Islamist allies in America last year when she suggested that the Obama Administration was infiltrated by Islamists. Democrats on the radical left worked furiously to remove her from the House Intelligence Committee. Now, an Egyptian publication has named six Muslim Brotherhood infiltrators in the Obama Administration, including Mohammed Elibiary who sits on the Homeland Security Advisory Council. Read more
Karl Rove vs. Conservatives - Karl Rove has begun a campaign against conservatives in the GOP with the formation of the Conservative Victory Project, whose purpose is to knock out social conservatives and Tea Party candidates in 2014 primaries. He believes the GOP lost ground in 2012 because of pro-life and Tea Party candidates. Reality: All five of the economic conservatives running for Senate in 2012 who were supported by Rove's PAC lost. In contrast, the social conservative PAC of which I am chairman had three winning Senate candidates out of the five we supported. All the candidates we supported were outspoken social conservatives.

Religion and Culture
Islamic America by 2050? - The future of the country - that was conceived by the pilgrims and Puritans as 'the new Zion'-is now bound inextricably to Islam." So writes Paul L. Williams in his new book, Crescent Moon Rising: The Islamic Transformation of America. "Islam by 2050 will emerge as the nation's dominant religion." Read more
Apostasy killings show Islam's weakness - Islamic scholar Dr. Mark Durie exposes the apostasy laws as proof of the weakness of the Islamic religion. Muslims must literally kill people to stop them from converting to other religions. The growth of Islam since Mohammed has been through violence. Read more

THE PRESIDENCY 

OBAMACARE SURVIVES AND THRIVES - To the shock and horror of conservatives and the Republican leaders, conservative Chief Justice John Roberts sided with liberals in support of ObamaCare. Even more surprising is that Roberts used a novel approach which gives the Congress the right to tax Americans for failure to purchase a product the government decides they should buy.

MY OP-ED ON THE THE OBAMACARE VICTORY - WND.com was the first news outlet to publish my editorial on the ObamaCare case. Rather than repeat criticisms of the Court decision done by others, I focused on the effect this will have on conservative election strategy, particularly in the light of the conservative Chief Justice handing Obama a victory. Read my editorial at WND.com.

CONGRESS 

CONGRESSMEN OBJECT TO AIR FORCE ATTACKS ON FAITH - Congressman Forbes joined Congresswoman Diane Black and Congressman Todd Akin in sending a letter signed by 66 Members of Congress urging Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta to investigate a pattern of hostility towards faith in the United States Air Force. Over the last year, the Air Force has repeatedly capitulated to pressure from outside groups to remove religious symbols and references to faith from the service. According to Congressman Forbes, "When viewed individually, any of these actions is concerning. But taken together, they highlight an alarming pattern in the Air Force that we do not see in the other branches of the military. Those who sacrifice so much for our nation must be assured that they need not leave their faith at home when they volunteer to serve." The letter calls on Secretary Panetta to issue clear Department of Defense policy guidance, consistent with our Constitution, to preserve the place of religious expression in the military at large. Read letter to Panetta
PRAYER CAUCUS DEFENDS LEGISLATIVE PRAYERS- Thirteen Members of the House of Representatives joined an amicus curiae brief to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit in support of legislative prayer. The Lakeland City Commission in Florida had a policy of inviting clergy to offer invocations at the beginning of its meetings. The Atheists of Florida sued, arguing that because most of the prayers were offered by Christian clergy, the prayers were "too sectarian" and thus violated the Establishment Clause. The brief submitted by the Members asserts that courts do not have the jurisdiction to delve into the inner workings of a deliberative body's meetings because of the constitutional separation of powers between the branches of government.

RELIGION AND CULTURE 

MUSLIM GRAFFITI AT WTC MEMORIAL - The NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating after the words "Allah Wakbar" were found written on a granite seat at the Sept. 11 memorial. A custodian found the graffiti, written in pink and black marker, on a seat in the plaza and investigators believe someone wrote the words that same day. The area is not in the view of any security cameras which means the Muslims who defaced the Memorial knew where to do so.
