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.

THE CONGRESS

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. The Senate will not reconvene until Tuesday the 19th which is the day after Martin Luther King Day.
 

CULTURE AND RELIGION

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.

GLOBAL COOLING NEXT 30 YEARS? - The blizzard in which Barack Obama returned from his "Global Warming Summit" in Copenhagen, is the beginning of a major cooling cycle according to noted climatologists. The research has been carried out by imminent climate scientists including Professor Mojib Latif who is a leading member of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. His group predicted a cooling trend in a 2008 paper. Read more in London's Daily Mail

INTERNATIONAL

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.
