THE PRESIDENCY

THE SPEECH - During his so-called State of the Union Address, Barack Obama said it is time for both parties to work together. He then attacked the Republican Party and criticized the Senate for having a sixty vote rule that "obstructed" his agenda. Next he congratulated himself for "saving" the banking system and then attacked the banks. Obama then lied about a Supreme Court decision and directly attacked the Justices, who were sitting on the front row of the House Chamber. On and off during the speech he claimed that he "inherited" the nation's security and financial problems. At the same time he claimed that he had stopped more terrorist attacks than George W. Bush. He made the outrageous claim that "his" medical reforms would cover the uninsured and reduce the deficit, something that even a sixth grader knows can't be done. To top off the night he said that homosexuals should be able to "serve" the nation in the military. He proved every pundit wrong who had said he would move to the middle after several straight defeats of his party at the polls. Far from moving to the middle he put himself on record as continuing with his unpopular far left agenda. 
OBAMA HIGH COURT INSULT - Among the many untruths and misstatements in his so-called State of the Union Address, Barack Obama criticized the Supreme Court for issuing a ruling allowing foreign corporations to influence elections in the United States. The statement, which caused Democrats including Nancy Pelosi to rise and applaud, was a lie. The next day the White house was forced to "clarify" this statement, saying that US companies owned by foreigners could contribute to political campaigns. That is also a lie and a new "clarification" had to be issued. In the history of the nation, presidents have only mentioned the Supreme Court nine times in a State of the Union Address. In each instance, nothing antagonistic was said. Obama's direct attack on the Supreme Court with the Justices present was a true first and shows Obama's real temperament, one of anger and hostility to anyone he disagrees with. Read more
OBAMA'S WARMING GLOBE - Not even a majority of Democrat Senators will vote for Obama's "cap-and-trade" and he has been told by the Senate that because it will destroy millions of jobs, it is dead. Yet Obama called for cap-and-trade energy taxes again in his address. Obama looked directly at the seated Republicans, called them "skeptics" and claimed global warming is a "fact." The only "fact" is that those believing in the Global Warming Religion have faked results and destroyed data that proves them wrong. Meanwhile yet another devastating winter storm is headed toward Washington, DC. London Daily Mail / Examiner.com
THE OBAMA TEMPO - I made it through (PAUSE) the Obama speech (PAUSE) despite the kindergarten teacher tempo (PAUSE) of his oratory. (LONG PAUSE) For the most part (PAUSE) I have real difficulty (PAUSE) listening to someone speak (PAUSE) who finds it necessary (PAUSE) to speak in three to eight word bursts (PAUSE) despite the actual sentence (PAUSE) length. I do understand (PAUSE) that because his first schooling (PAUSE) was in a madrassa (PAUSE) and since Arabic (PAUSE) is recited somewhat like poetry (PAUSE) in this same manner (DOUBLE PAUSE) that there is an explanation.

THE CONGRESS

SPEAKER PELOSI'S DIET: Maker's Mark whiskey, Courvoisier cognac, Johnny Walker Red scotch, Grey Goose vodka, E&J brandy, Bailey's Irish Crème, Bacardi Light rum, Jim Beam whiskey, Beefeater gin, Dewars scotch, Bombay Sapphire gin, Jack Daniels whiskey, Corona beer, and all at taxpayer expense.Judicial Watch has obtained actual receipts through the Freedom of Information Act for the food and "beverages" loaded onto Nancy Pelosi's private Air Force jet. In just two years Nancy Pelosi has racked up over $2 million in travel expenses on her Air Force supplied aircraft, including over $100,000 in extravagant food and drink. President Obama, who seems to spend more time on Air Force One than in the White House, makes Pelosi's travel expenditures look minuscule.

There is a great Cold War movie called The Projectionist (From the book Inner Circle) which was the story of Joseph Stalin's private projectionist. He ran movies for the murderous dictator that Soviet citizens were barred from seeing. The movie reminds me most of Al Gore and the private jet he uses to go to global warming conferences, but it applies to most liberal leaders. TEN COMMANDMENTS RESOLUTION - This week I met with Roni Wexler, founder of the Ten Commandments Commission, and several congressmen. It is our goal to once again move forward with a Ten Commandments resolution. Although we have introduced a resolution several times, it has yet to be passed. This year we have more congressmen as sponsors than in the past. Please pray for the success of the Ten Commandments resolution which will be introduced in a few weeks.

THE RADICALS WHO RUN WASHINGTON

President Barack Obama has chosen as his advisers the most radical group of ideologues ever assembled by an American president. A new Liberty Counsel report exposes the activities of radical activists such as Kevin Jennings, Obama's pick for "safe schools." Jennings was the founder of the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network and for more than five years he oversaw student-workshops filled with outrageously immoral propaganda. Obama also picked former ACLU employee and NARAL legal director Dawn Johnsen, who is zealously pro-abortion.

The Liberty Counsel's 72 page report details information on more than 100 of the nominations and appointments of radical leftists by President Barack Obama. The report is backed up by more than 800 citations and quotes. See the full Liberty Counsel Report in PDF format

PAY THE BARBARY PIRATES? - "From the Halls of Montezuma, to the Shores of Tripoli ... " That is the opening of the Marine Corps Hymn, and the part about "Tripoli" of course refers to the war President Thomas Jefferson waged against the Muslim pirates of North Africa, sometimes called Ottoman Corsairs. He chose to fight rather than to pay tribute. Before Jefferson's intervention the Muslims had been collecting tribute from the Europeans for centuries. Now the Europeans, and apparently Barack Obama, have decided to pay tribute again -- this time to the Muslim Taliban. Western nations plan a fund of $500 million to pay Taliban fighters to put down their guns. The entire GDP of Afghanistan is only $800 million. Read more

THE PRESIDENCY
OBAMA ON BROWN - "Here's my assessment of not just the vote in Massachusetts but the mood around the country: The same thing that swept Scott Brown into office swept me into office," Obama said in an interview with ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos. "People are angry and they are frustrated. Not just because of what's happened in the last year or two years but what's happened over the last eight years." If President Obama actually believes this statement, that Republican Scott brown was elected in a heavily Democrat state because people are still angry at George W. Bush, then he is delusional.
Republicans lost the Senate and the House in 2006 because of corruption and backroom deals. Scott Brown was elected in Massachusetts because the people are fed up with the corruption and backroom deals of the Democrats. Scott Brown's election was not a "wake up" call to Democrats, it was a warning from the people to both major parties. The message is clear: We want honesty and transparency and no more secret deals that cost us, the people, our treasury.
WHITE HOUSE CORRUPTION - The Obama White House may be the most corrupt since the invention of the telephone. The Assistant Secretary of Energy, Cathy Zoi, is responsible for oversight in disbursing the stimulus funds. She is married to Robin Roy, a top executive at Serious Materials, a manufacturer of "sustainable green building materials" including windows. Ms. Zoi and her husband own 120,000 vested shares and options of Serious Materials. Zoi regulates this company and its "green" manufacturing. John Stossel, who recently moved from ABC to FOX has exposed this corruption at the highest level of the Obama Administration in a program that shows President Obama and Vice President Biden pushing the products of this company over those of Pell and other windows manufacturers. Stossel's segment on Serious Materials is a must see. View here
FT HOOD REPORT A CRUEL JOKE - The report issued this week by the Army on the massacre at Ft. Hood by Muslim doctor Najil Hasan can at best be called a cruel joke on the victims. Not even once is it mentioned that Hasan was a Muslim. It calls for his superiors to be punished for missing his radicalism and then never mentions that this "radicalism" was Islamic. Congressman John Carter (R-TX) who represents the district in which Ft. Hood is located said, "I think it's just another example of this fear we have of saying the wrong thing that might offend someone." Read this powerful op-ed on the report.
NAVY SEALS PERSECUTED BY POLITICAL CORRECTNESS - I cannot in good conscience recommend the military services to young men and women any longer. The political correctness under George W. Bush, which has only increased under Barack Obama, has made the military unsuitable for those who wish to serve and defend their nation. This is the reality today: If you are a highly trained combat specialist in the Army or Navy, you could well be imprisoned for the rest of your life for an act of heroism defending the nation. That is the awful possibility facing three Navy Seals who captured one of the most wanted terrorists in Iraq. They now face court martials and jail time because the captured terrorist claims he received a bloody lip on the way to incarceration. The Navy now plans to call this terrorist murderer as a witness against the Seals. A Facebook page has been established explaining the issue in detail and how to help the wrongfully accused Seals. The persecution of the three Navy Seals in the name of political correctness makes a mockery of justice, and supports and encourages radical Islamic terrorists.

THE CONGRESS

HOUSE AND SENATE RETURN (SORT OF) - The House and Senate have both returned from the Christmas/New Year and then Martin Luther King breaks, but little is being done. The House returned the week before Martin Luther King day, and then the Democrats went on a "retreat" after less than two days of business. Then came the election of Scott Brown in Massachusetts which brought the entire Democrat agenda to a stop. Virtually nothing is being done at any level of government as Democrats decide who to bash and attack next to keep themselves in power. My bet is that some sector of business will be chosen as the scapegoat to help the Democrats to further their far left agenda.
SCOTT BROWN ELECTION IS NOT A REPUBLICAN VICTORY - On Wednesday, January 20th Republicans in Washington were bloated with arrogant victory. I told one Republican Senator, "Arrogance is what lost this seat for the Democrats, don't go there." I was not alone in tossing cold water on Republican grandstanding. This is the reality: The Republicans didn't win in Massachusetts; the Democrats lost. The Democrats lost because of arrogance and backroom deals that disturbed at the deepest level America's sense of fairness. Almost 25% of Democrats voted for Scott Brown. His victory was as much a message to Republicans as to Democrats. The message was clear; no more secret backroom deals that affect the people as a whole. Stop the corruption and do everything in the open as the Founders intended.
FIGHT FOR LIFE - Congressman Mike Pence (R-IN) has written a brilliant op-ed on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade that should be read by all. I highly recommend you read his Fight for Life and pass it on to others. Click here
ISLAM AND DHIMMITUDE - Australian theologian and Islamic expert, Dr. Mark Durie was the guest of the Religious Freedom Coalition in Washington, DC for the past two weeks. During that time, Dr. Durie had the opportunity to meet with members of the House and Senate, appear on numerous radio programs and meet with journalists and columnists who have a national audience. In all these discussions, he was able to aptly explain the choices given to Christians and other non-Muslims according to the Koran: Conversion, death or Dhimmitude. SEE MORE IN INTERNATIONAL

CULTURE AND RELIGION

RIFQA BARY REMAINS FREE - For months we have watched closely the saga of Rifqa Bary, a teenage girl who had converted from Islam and run away to Florida for fear her father would kill her. Honor killings are common among Muslims not only in the Middle East, but in Europe and the United States as well. A Florida court did order her back to Ohio, but she went to foster care, not to the home of her parents as she feared. This week a court ordered that 17-year-old Rifqa Bary will stay in that foster home and under state custody until she turns 18 in August. At age 18 she will be declared an adult and may live where she pleases. This is a great victory in our politically correct society which allows Muslims to conduct their family affairs in a much different manner than ordinary citizens.

INTERNATIONAL

THE THIRD CHOICE - Dr. Mark Durie and I visited numerous Congressional offices during the last week, including that of Congressman Frank Wolf, who is an avid student of Islam and a defender of religious freedom both in the United States and overseas. During his presentations to Congressmen and Senators, Dr. Durie explained the classical Islamic ideology of conquest: the first choice offered to non-Muslims was conversion to Islam; the second choice was the sword; and the third was surrender. Mark Durie's book interested many of those he talked to in Washington because it exposes the history and ideology of surrender - the 'Third Choice' - which is the reality of life for non-Muslims, who are known as 'dhimmis' under Muslim rule. Durie firmly grounds his analysis of the dhimmi condition in the teachings of Islam and the life of Mohammed.

Because of the contacts established in Washington, DC over many years by the Religious Freedom Coalition, numerous prestigious events were arranged including a book signing at Heritage Foundation headquarters near the Capitol Building. Many leaders from various organizations as well as staff members of Congressmen and Senators attended the event held on January 21st. A video of Dr. Durie's comments can be found at www.heritage.org. Link to The Third Choice  
GEERT WILDERS GOES ON TRIAL - The leader of the political party that came in second in European parliamentary elections has gone on trial for insulting Islam in Holland. Prosecutors in Holland weekly ignore the anti-Christian and anti-Semitic ravings of imams in their country and instead have chosen to try to jail a Member of Parliament for "insulting Islam." This case sums up what is wrong with Western Europe and why it is very possible that within the next two decades European nations will become Islamic and Christianity will be outlawed.

THE PRESIDENCY

OBAMA'S FOREIGN COPS - In Executive Order 12425, President Barack Obama gave blanket immunity to Interpol, the international police force. Prior to this, Interpol had to operate within the boundaries of our Constitution while operating in the United States, honoring such protections as those granted under the Fourth Amendment, which prohibits unreasonable search and seizures. But under Obama's order, Interpol cops will have super rights that our own police do not have! They will be able to operate the way police do in nations such as Zimbabwe and Cuba. Where are the howls and cries of the ACLU? Read more 
UNDERWEAR BOMBER OR COKE BOMBER? - Just this week I was a party to a conference call on airport security which was conducted by a high ranking member of the Homeland Security Committee. The Obama Administration, just as did the Bush Administration, is concentrating on passengers, and new high tech devices are promised, which will be capable of finding "underwear bombs." The problem is, there is no piece of equipment that can find liquid explosives hidden in a bag of Coca Cola syrup. Every day tens of thousands of pounds of food, including large metal canisters of carbinated water, are moving past airport security. Most of is examined with a quick look and virtually nothing is run through x-ray machines. At the same time, Muslims have gravitated to airport service jobs across the country. Virtually all aircraft cleaners working for Delta Airlines in Minneapolis are Somali Muslims. Meanwhile Mikey Hicks, an 8 year old New Jersey Cub Scout and frequent traveler, is constantly hassled by TSA because he shares the name of a suspicious person. He was first patted down at the gate for weapons when he was just two years old. Bottom line: Security at the airport is a show process to make us feel good and provides virtually no protection.

HOUSE IN SESSION, SENATE IN RECESS - The Senate has been in recess for Christmas and New Year's Day. The House reconvened on Tuesday, January 12th, held some votes on Wednesday and the Democrats went on a retreat together without really doing much at all.

ADL CONDEMNS ISLAMIC CONFERENCE - The Anti-Defamation League accused several Muslim groups on Monday of setting up an Islamic summit in Chicago for extremist and anti-Semitic invective. While claiming that the summit's purpose was to combat the radicalization of Muslim-American youth, it actually did the opposite. The ADL obtained transcripts of the summit in which speakers such as Egyptian Sheik Raghib Al Serjani called for the eradication of Israel. Materials sold at the convention included those of Anwar al-Awlaki, the U.S.-born Imam who has encouraged American Muslims to wage jihad. He is tied to the Fort Hood shooter, Maj. Nidal Hasan.

U.K. BANS JIHADIST MUSLIM GROUP- U.K. Home Secretary Alan Johnson has outlawed Islam4UK under a law allowing the government to ban organizations that advocate or glorify terrorism. The group is a reincarnation of an organization that had been on the blacklist under other names, including Al Ghurabaa. The group has praised the 9-11 jihad attack against the United States. Johnson said, "An organization should not be able to circumvent proscription by simply changing its name." It is rare for the UK government to take a stand against even the most viscious forms of Islam. Oddly, the liberal Guardian newspaper believes that groups that support terror should be allowed to operate openly. Apparently leftists in the UK, like those in the USA ,believe that radical Islamists calling for the death of innocent people have more rights than Christian pastors calling for the rights of the unborn.  
RALLY AT UN TO PROTEST MURDERS - Seven Coptic Christians, including some children, were killed and fifteen others injured during a Christmas mass in Eqypt. Three Muslim gunmen were attempting to assassinate Bishop Kirollos of the Nag Hamadi Diocese. The media reported the attack was revenge for an alleged rape, but it turns out it was a government approved attack because Christians had refused to participate in a forced "reconciliation" with Muslims from the last murderous attack in November. The bishop called the attackers "Muslim radicals" and said "This is a religious war about how they can finish off the Christians in Egypt." Information on the rally can be found here.

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.

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
