THE CONGRESS
PELOSI CONFIRMS SHE WANTS TO CENSOR TALK RADIO - Nancy Pelsoi does not want to censor TV broadcast news because it is controlled by liberals. She does not want to censor major newspapers because they are controlled by liberals. She does not want to censor the Internet where liberal bloggers dominate. BUT ... Nancy Pelosi confirmed this week that she wants to censor talk radio which is dominated by conservatives. Read more. This is just the starting point. If Obama is in the Oval Office and Pelosi runs the House next year, they will criminalize what is now free speech. Criticism of abortion or homosexuality will cause confiscation of property and probably even imprisonment. This is the "change" Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi promise, a government much like that of Hugo Chavez in Venezuela.

SENATE FILLS ALL FEC SLOTS - Last week I hit the Senate Leadership for blocking the Bush appointments to the Federal Election Commission leaving it so short handed that no quorum existed to hold Board meetings. This week under orders from Barack Obama, Senator Reid allowed three Republicans and two Democrats to fill the open slots. Obama wants the FEC to throw up road blocks to the McCain campaign and he hopes that the FEC will be of some help to him.

MARRIAGE PROTECTION AMENDMENT - On Wednesday my old friend Senator Roger Wicker (R-MS) introduced the Marriage Protection Amendment which would amend the Constitution to protect marriage as a union between one man and one woman. A similar bill has been introduced in the House. With the Senate run by a radical left leadership that does not even condemn polygamy, there is little chance of a vote on Sen. Wicker's Constitutional amendment. Read more at the Senator's site.

MORE MONEY FOR PLANNED PARENTHOOD - Democrats in the Senate added language to the Labor-Education-HHS Bill (LHHS) for Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers to acquire and sell reduced-price drugs on university and college campuses. The provisions would help Planned Parenthood (which reported $1 billion in annual revenue and a $115 million surplus last year) in the purchase and distribution of harmful drugs like Plan B (also known as the Morning-After Pill) and RU-486 to college students. Read more and contact Congress

CULTURE AND RELIGION
EVOLVING STANDARDS OF DECENCY - This week the U.S. Supreme Court issued an opinion stating that child rapists can't be executed for the crime. As usual Justice Anthony Kennedy was the swing vote and his reasoning for not allowing the execution of a man who had tortured and raped a little girl was astounding. Kennedy wrote that he took into account the nation's "evolving standards of decency." According to him since our society is more "tolerant," those who torture and rape children should not be executed. This falls in line with allowing public acts of homosexuality. My prediction: Polygamy will be found to be legally protected by the Constitution by the end of this decade. Read more

OK TO MARRY ONE-YEAR-OLD GIRL SAYS MUSLIM OFFICIAL - The actual quote: "There is no minimal age for entering marriage. You can have a marriage contract even with a one-year-old girl, not to mention a girl of nine, seven, or eight. This is merely a contract [indicating] consent. The guardian in such a case must be the father, because the father's opinion is obligatory. Thus, the girl becomes a wife..." Read more

NEW UPDATE ON AMI'S CONDITION - (On March 20th, 2008 16-year-old Ami Ortiz was severally wounded when a bomb hidden in a gift fruit basket delivered to the apartment of Evangelist David Ortiz exploded. Ami has been hospitalized for three months and is still undergoing operations. The latest update on his condition from Israel was received on June 26, 2008. Read update.

IRAQI CHRISTIANS - Hope is all but lost that the United States government will do the right thing by the hundreds of thousands of Christians who have been persecuted and forced from their homes in Iraq. Our government still slams the door of our embassies in the faces of Christian refugees and tells them to go beg for food and shelter from the United Nations.

THE PRESIDENT
PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH- The front pages of the major newspapers, all liberal, feature photos of Barack Obama every day. A stranger to our land would think that he is already our president. Not often mentioned is our current President, George W. Bush. Yet, with the war now being won in Afghanistan and Iraq and the major intelligence changes he introduced codified, his esteem among foreign leaders is growing. During his final tour of Europe he convinced the British to send more troops to Afghanistan and the Italians to lend more support to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons.

OBAMA FIRST TO REFUSE FED FUNDS - Barack Obama will be the first Presidential candidate to refuse federal funding for the general election since the program was begun after the corruption plagued Nixon campaign in 1972. If McCain stays in the federal program he will be limited to $82.5 million dollars while Obama may spend as much as he can raise. NOTE: A California, Florida or New York Senate campaign can cost over $50 million because of the cost of TV advertising. Obama may be able to raise and outspend McCain by a 2 to 1 margin this Fall as most of the rich favor Democrats.

THE REAL OIL STORY - Barack Obama and his Green religion backers do not want you to know this: If the existing "marginal wells" in the United States were reopened, within 30 days we would not have to import a single barrel of oil from the Middle East! A marginal well is one that produces 15 or fewer barrels per day. The Democrat controlled Congress refuses to pass the incentives to owners to reopen these wells. The Democrats are also blocking: 14 billion barrels of oil form the Continental Shelf, 10 billion barrels from ANWR, 2 trillion barrels from the Rockey Mountains, and 179 billion barrels from the Canadian Oil Sands. The USA is the only nation in the world that blocks offshore dilling. The USA forbids American oil companies from obtaining oil from the Canadian oil sands. The reserves in the USA are three times those of Saudi Arabia, but laws on the books do not allow exploration. Thank Senator Barack Obama and the Democrats for the price of gasoline.

THE CONGRESS
DNC - PARTY OF THE RICH Radical left Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is one of the ten richest members of the Congress. Last year she estimated her wealth between $15 million and $55 million and that did not include most of her husband's extensive real estate holdings. Recently she added $25 million to the Water Bill to improve San Francisco's Embarcadero port area where husband owns extensive property. Pelosi sees no problem in raising taxes by 10% - it makes no difference to someone who earns millions a year. Beside, she can direct the taxpayers' money to her husband's benefit. Read more

GOP HAS HOPE IN HIGH GAS PRICE - The Democrat leaders like the high price of gas so much that they actually want to add additional taxes and make the price even higher. Democrat leaders are so tied up in the Green religion that they believe the best way to save the planet is to price gasoline out of the reach of the average citizen. Meanwhile, the Republicans don't much want the price of gasoline to go down either. "This is the issue that can save us in November," one GOP leader told me. If gas prices stay where they are, the Republicans think they can take back the House. Why? Since Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats took over, the price of gas has doubled.

SENATE STANDSTILL HALTS FEC - The Federal Election Commission can't function because it does not have enough members for a quorum. In this critical election year Democrat Leader Harry Reid blocked a vote on new appointees to the FEC. Senate Minorty Leader McConnell said, "I am extremely disappointed that our friends on the other side of the aisle have objected to a fully functioning Federal Election Commission. Just yesterday, their nominee called the system 'broken.'" Senator Reid is also blocking the confirmation of virtually all judges, believing that a Barack Obama victory will allow Obama to fill all the vacant posts with members of the ACLU.

FAIRNESS IS CENSORSHIP - Sounds like something out of the novel Brave New World, but liberal governments all over the world are eliminating free speech in the name of "fairness", and Democrats want to censor Americans here at home. Just one example is President Lulu of Brazil who says opposing homosexuality is a sickness. He believes being against homosexual relations should be made a crime punishable by law. (SEE LULU STORY) In our Congress, Nancy Pelosi's idea of "fairness" is to force Rush Limbaugh to have someone present in the studio to refute minute by minute every word he has to say. Read more on the Fairness Doctrine.

SAUDI ISLAMIC ACADEMY DIRECTOR ARRESTED - Women have no rights in Islam. So when a 5-year-old girl student told Abdalla Al-Shabnan that she had been sexually abused, it was not reported to authorities. He has been arrested for obstruction of justice for failing to report the crime. (Read arrest.) This is the same school I reported on last week, which teaches hatred of Jews and Christians and promotes Jihad. The school is operated by the Saudi government and could be closed by the State Department. However, Secretary Rice continues to defend the school and refuses to even furnish copies of the hate filled text books to the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom.

INTERNATIONAL
RFC SPONSORS SAUDI CONFERENCE - The Religious Freedom Coalition was one of the chief sponsors of a Capitol Hill conference on Saudi Arabia. The conference at the Rayburn House Office Building on June 18th was titled U.S.-Saudi Dilemma: A challenge for the next Administration. The conference centered on the feudal Saudi Royal regime and its despotic nature. The Center for Democracy and Human Rights in Saudi Arabia has good information on the conditions there from the view point of a Saudi national. Read more

UN OFFICIAL SAYS CONSERVATIVES ATTACKED TRADE CENTER - Prof. Richard Falk, a U.N. Human Rights Council official assigned to monitor Israel, said a commission is needed to determine if American conservatives played a role in the September 11, 2001 attack on New York and Washington. This is just further proof that the UN should be dissolved and the UN building in New York pulled down and replaced by a mushroom farm. Read complete story about this nut.

IRAQI CHRISTIANS - Hope is all but lost that the United States government will do the right thing by the hundreds of thousands of Christians who have been persecuted and forced from their homes in Iraq.

Week Ending June 13, 2008 - Washington, DC

The Virginia school that teaches it is OK to kill non-Muslims gets permission to continue operating / USCIRF condemns Saudi text books that teach hatred and violence / Obama's "clean" campaign and McCain's puke colored campaign colors / China hacks Capitol Hill computers / Dems seek higher gas prices / Nutty Ninth judge operated porn site / Congressman Trent Franks and more on Iraqi Christian refugees.

THE PRESIDENT
OBAMA'S CLEAN CAMPAIGN- According to Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, everything is either black or white, just all good or all bad. Rich people are all bad. The energy companies, particularly Exxon, are bad. The financial companies that loan money to people to buy homes are also on his bad list, particularly Countrywide Financial. OOPS: His billionaire buddy George Soros is OK, and so are all the very rich Hollywood stars that shower him with money. His billionaire friend Jim Johnson, who received multi million dollar real estate loans from Countrywide, (yes, the company on Obama's bad list.) is on his good list. So much is Johnson on the good list that Obama picked him to help find a vice presidential running mate. After intense public criticism for his relationship with Countrywide, Johnson quit the Obama VP search committee. Obama said he was not going to check on the mortgage relationships of those associated with his campaign. Hmmm.Read more

MCCAIN'S GREEN PUKE BACKGROUND - GOP contender John McCain will not accept the advice of anyone outside of paid K Street advisers. When many of us in Washington said the ugly colored green background that was used at his events looked horrible, his campaign shrugged it off. Meanwhile the Obama camp uses red, white and blue. After newscasters made jokes about the puke colored background it was finally changed. McCain desperately needs to dump the K Street guys and get some people near him who eat at Chick-fil-A instead of Morton's Steak House. Read William Kristol's Remarks

BUSH'S SAUDI BUDDIES HATE JEWS HERE TOO - The Saudi government operates a school in Northern Virginia, the Islamic Saudi Academy (ISA). One of its graduates is in prison for conspiracy to assassinate President Bush. The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom has for years demanded copies of the textbooks used in this school. The school refused, but did give copies to the State Department. Secretary Condoleeza Rice refused to hand them over to the USCIRF, and for good reason. Through congressional sources the USCIF recently obtained some of the textbooks. The books promote Jihad as well as the confiscation of property of non-Muslims, and violence toward all Infidels. The White House and State Department continue to stand by the Saudi Royalty who operate the most repressive government in the world today. Read the USCIRF news release.

THE CONGRESS
CHINA HACKS CONGRESSIONAL COMPUTERS The Religious Freedom Coalition does not send any e-mail or electronic document to a member of Congress that contains the names or locations of those persecuted for their religious beliefs. The House and Senate computers are often hacked by Chinese and other rights violators to obtain the information in order to hunt down or arrest dissidents. Chinese intelligence agents then transfer the information to other rights violators including North Korea and the Sudan. It is our advice not to send anything to a congressman or Senator of a sensitive nature regarding human rights issues. Congressmen Frank Wolfe and Chris Smith revealed hacking of their computers this past week. Read more

DEMS DEMAND HIGHER GAS PRICE - Democrats failed to pass the "cap and trade" legislation last week that would raise the price of gasoline by 56 cents per gallon. So this week they tried to pass a "windfall profit" tax on energy companies. The tax would of course be passed on to consumers, thus raising gasoline prices even more. Let us get honest: the Democrats want to price gasoline out of the reach of the average American. Most of the Democrats' money comes from Hollywood elites and liberal billionaires who believe in the "green religion." They want all cars parked, except their own limos, to "protect the planet." The masses of people (That would be you and me) can then be forced to live in apartment clusters and use mass transportation. The "green religion" sees individual home ownership as destructive to the environment. It is also more difficult to control people who live in individual homes and have private transportation.

CONGRESS AND THE PRICE OF GAS - When the Democrats took control of the House and Senate in January of 2006 the average price of gas nationally was $2.33 per gallon. The current average per gallon is now $4.06. During less than two years in power Senator Harry Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi have helped drive up the cost of gas almost $2.00 a gallon. How? The traders and speculators know that with the Democrats in control there will be no drilling for new oil, no nuclear plants built and no gas refineries expanded. With out those options the speculators know they can push prices up.Thank you Harry and Nancy for doubling the price of gas.

IT'S CALLED THE NUTTY NINTH BECAUSE? - One of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals judges has stopped a pornography trial he was presiding over after it was discovered that he had himself placed raunchy sexual photos up at a personal website he runs. Virtually all of the judges on the Nutty Ninth are far left wing loons who think saying "under God" should be banned but that saying the F word in public is protected speech. This is the same court that any day will render a ruling on "under God" being constitutional in the Pledge to our flag.

THE HONORABLE TRENT FRANKS - On Thursday, June 12th the 6th annual Religious Liberty Dinner was held in Washington, DC. My good friend, Congressman Trent Franks (R-AZ) was the key note speaker. My wife Nancy and I were present at the event at which Congressman Franks received an award for his efforts on behalf of religious liberty. He is the co-chair of the newly formed Congressional Religious Freedom Task Force.

STATE DEPARTMENT GIVES BLESSING TO TEACHING RELIGIOUS HATRED - Above I mentioned that the USCIRF condemned the text books used by Islamic Saudi Academy in Virginia. The K - 12 school is funded by the Saudi government. As mentioned State has refused to cooperate with the USCIRF's investigation of text books that teach hatred and sanction murder of non-Muslims. The day after the USCIRF released its report the State Department gave its blessing to the continued operation of the Islamic Saudi Schools saying it had "assurances" that the text books would be "corrected." There is nothing said by a Saudi official that can be trusted. This is the world's most repressive and despotic government and Secretary Rice believes they are the best friends America has.

THE PRESIDENT
THE PRESIDENT'S FORGOTTEN WAR - The Washington Post, New York Times and the major TV networks rarely mention the Iraqi war any more. Most of the stories about "losing" the war have been replaced by those about returning veterans being depressed or having high divorce rates. The liberal media has stopped reporting on the war because their side is no longer winning. Last month 14 of our servicemen lost their lives in Iraq, the least in any month since the war began. The Iraqi army now has 500,000 trained men and they have taken over terrorist run Basra, a city that the British could not control, and have routed radical Mullah Sadr's militia out of Sadr City. After five years the tide has turned and the war is being won, but Americans are unaware of this because the liberal media refuses to report the truth. The truth would hurt their candidate for president, Barack Obama. WSJ editorial

OBAMA IS THE MAN - Barack Obama has secured the Democrat nomination for the presidency. I am sure those he calls his mentors including communist poet Frank Marshall Davis would be proud. The man he called friend, radical priest Michael Pfleger has been suspended by the Catholic Church after his racial rants in Obama's Church. After 20 years of sitting and listining to anti-American, anti-white racist rants, Barack Obama has resigned from Trinity Church with his "regrets.:

MCCAIN STILL DOESN'T GET IT - There are two main divisions in the Republican Party - the economic conservatives who supply the money, and the social conservatives who knock on doors and put up the lawn signs. McCain has chosen to ignore the social conservative wing of the party, the Huckabee wing, in favor of the big corporate types that supply the money. To win the election in the fall McCain needs foot soldiers, and to get them he must stop ignoring social conservative activists before they find other things to do this fall than to work for his campaign.

THE CONGRESS
DEMS: LET'S RAISE COST OF GAS Just back from Memorial Day recess, the first action the Democrat leadership of the Senate moved forward was a "Cap and Trade" bill that would almost immediately increase the cost of gas by 56 cents a gallon. The Warner-Lieberman bill would set up 55 new federal bureaucracies that would "trade" carbon dioxide credits. Under the bill refiners, who are some of the biggest polluters, would be required to buy credits to "compensate" for their pollution. They would buy these credits from sources such as the forests belonging to the Russian government. The Democrat idea is that forcing the "polluters" to buy the credits will make them "go green" and pollute less. They are sort of right: with more expensive energy there will be fewer jobs and thus less pollution. More

HOUSE DEMS SAY NO TO MORE OIL - During the last twelve years 86% of Democrats have voted against ANWR exploration and 78% have voted against processing coal to liquid fuel. In addition 86% of Democrat House members voted against oil shale exploration and 83% voted against outer Continental Shelf exploration. NOTE: China's main oil company is drilling just 45 miles from Key West, Florida but Democrats will not allow US oil companies to drill there. And finally, 96% House Democrats have voted over the past 12 years against increasing oil refinery capacity in the USA. Sort of clarifies why gas is over $4.00 a gallon.

BABY SURVIVES ABORTION? - It is the kind of story that Planned Parenthood and pro-abortionists such as Barack Obama hate to here. One of those "clumps" of tissue that is "not really human" survived an abortion and is alive and well. Against all odds the baby was conceived while the mother was taking contraceptives and then survived the abortion attempt. Picture of mother and baby.
