THE PRESIDENT

LYING THEN OR NOW? - Scott McClellan, the former spokesman for President George W. Bush, has penned a "tell all" book trashing the president. The publisher, PublicAffairs, has also published six books by radical leftist billionaire George Soros. The founder of PublicAffairs, Peter Osnos, assisted in editing and "tweaking" the attack book on Bush. There has been no disclosure on how much McClellan was paid to betray the confidences of his friend. More on Peter Osnos

OBAMA SAYS BLACK CHURCHES "HOMOPHOBIC" - Sen. Barack Obama told the homosexual magazine, The Advocate, that "homophobic" messages are coming from black churches because "most African-American churches are still fairly traditional in their interpretations of Scripture." In the same April 10th interview he praised Rev. Jeremiah Wright for being on the right side of the homosexual debate. Oddly Obama had just before this interview distanced himself from Rev. Wright calling his views "extremist." CNS for more details

OBAMA'S NEW PREACHER PROBLEM - A radical left Catholic Priest spoke at Senator Barack Obama's church this past Sunday, delivering a message so vile and full of race baiting that Obama had to immediately distance himself from the sermon. The priest is white, but his rhetoric was full of the same vile liberation theology that exploits race and that is used by Obama's former pastor, Jeremiah Wright. Watch the church cheer Father Pfleger's racist remarks on YouTube.com

THE CONGRESS

IN RECESS - The House and Senate are in recess until Monday, June 2nd with no votes planned before late on June 3rd, 2008

CULTURE AND RELIGION

ENVIRONMENTALISM A RELIGION TO SUPPRESS FREEDOM? - Former Czech President Vaclav Klaus says the environmental movement is the new communism, a system of the elites like Al Gore and Barak Obama to set up a central authority to control us all. While in Washington this past week he spoke about his new book, Blue Planet in Green Shackles. Read more at Vaclav Klaus' Internet site.

THE POLYGAMY PROBLEM AND ISLAM - There is virtually no difference between the teachings on marriage of the Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints and the teachings of Islam. Many Muslims in North American practice polygamy and it is common in all Arab nations. Members of the Saudi royal family have brought multiple wives with them when they stayed at President George W. Bush's ranch in Texas. Why did a Texas prosecutor move against one group of polygamists and not those within Islam? Ignorance of Islam may have been the answer. The Texas Supreme Court has sided with the FLDS and Muslims, and the children were ordered returned to the polygamists compound. The Texas raid on a the FLDS has probably moved the nation a step closer to legalized polygamy in the court system. With California and other states blessing homosexual marriage, there can be no moral boundary. The only question now is when will Jon Arbuckle marry Garfield.

INTERNATIONAL

JIHAD MURDERS HIT 3,000 MARK IN THAILAND - - With the killing of three people at a wedding reception in Thailand this week the total killed by Muslims practicing Jihad now stands at 3,000. Don't expect to learn this from the Western press who refer to the Jihadists as "separatists." The French news agency manages to blame Buddhists for being murdered by the Muslims. Read more.

IRAQI CHRISTIANS WARN OF HOLOCAUST - Just days before an international conference on political and economic reform for Iraq was to be held in Sweden, hundreds of Iraqi Christians demonstrated outside the country's parliament. "A new wave of ethnic cleansing is going on in Iraq," Iraqi Christian representative Behiye Hadodo told the gathering. "If these atrocities continue, the Chaldean, Syriac and Assyrian communities there will be wiped out altogether, creating a new catastrophe for humanity." Read more
