PRESIDENCY
OBAMACARE AND ABORTION - More than 40 million babies have been killed since Roe V Wade became law, but the body count is not high enough for President Barack Obama. Although pledging that his "ObamaCare" health program would not use tax dollars to fund abortion, he was caught using those very tax dollars to pay for abortions in "high risk" pools. After his lies were spotlighted by pro-life organizations, he again this week issued a non binding directive against tax dollars for abortion. We are supposed to pretend that works and look the other way, but we won't. Read Right to Life bulletin. FEDS ADMIT TERRORISTS ENTER US FROM MEXICO - Richard Stana, General Accounting Office director for homeland security and justice, said in a report issued July 22, "These [drug trafficking] organizations collect fees from alien smuggling organizations for the use of specific smuggling routes, and available reporting indicates that some Mexican drug trafficking organizations specialize in smuggling special-interest aliens into the United States." Those "special interest aliens" are individuals associated with terrorist organizations. The far left, which includes President Obama, is so set on having "open borders" that the terrorists are just allowed to stroll into the USA. Indeed Obama tried, in a speech on July 1st, to discourage Americans from even thinking that we can protect our borders. He stated, "But our borders are just too vast for us to be able to solve the problem only with fences and border patrols."
THE CONGRESS
NEW BILL TO STOP TAXPAYER FUNDED ABORTION - On Thursday, July 29th Congressman Chris Smith (R-NJ) and Dan Lipinski (D-IL) introduced H.R. 5939, the "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act." So far there are 155 bipartisan cosponsors including 18 Democrats and 139 Republicans. The bill is in response to the Obama Administration trying to sneak taxpayer funded abortions into the new state "high risk" pools. Is your congressman on this list of co-sponsors? If not contact him here. HOUSE ADJOURNS - The House will go into recess today and will not return until after Labor Day. Wednesday GOP Conference Chairman Mike Pence told me that Republicans would spend the next five weeks working to promote their agenda. Virtually every Republican will hold multiple town hall meetings. On the other hand, most Democrats are hiding from the atrocious policies of President Obama will not hold any town hall meetings at all.
The Senate will not adjourn until sometime next week.

ONE NATION UNDER GOD WINS AGAIN - In a 3-0 decision this week the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in Washington, DC, ruled that the National Motto, "In God We Trust," on coins and currency is constitutional and that it does not violate the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. Congressman Randy Forbes (R-VA) who led the fight to have "In God We Trust" engraved in the new Congressional Visitors Center said,"The phrase 'In God We Trust' has been an integral part of American society, and the very essence of those words is reflective of the principles upon which our country was founded. This Circuit Court of Appeals has rightfully recognized that our Constitution does not require the exclusion of references to God from the laws governing this nation, but rather gives us the freedom to affirm our national motto by its use on our currency. I applaud their decision." Read more
STUDENT MUST CHANGE "RELIGIOUS VIEWS" - Jennifer Keeton, 24, who is studying for a master's degree in counseling at Augusta State University, has been informed that she will be dismissed unless she changes her "central religious beliefs on human nature and conduct," according to her lawsuit against the school. The main problem is the American Counseling Association demands that all counselors view homosexuality as normal whereas Keeten, as a Christian, views it differently. Under the rules she has to publicly state that "gay is normal" or be dismissed from the program. Unfortunately a Michigan judge in another case just upheld the expulsion of a Christian from a university because she refused to counsel homosexuals.
JEWS, HOLLYWOOD AND THE MEDIA - If the Jews control Hollywood and the media, why is there so much anti-Israel news running on ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC and on the front page of the New York Times and the Washington Post? In reality more and more of the media and Hollywood is being controlled by Jew haters such as Oliver Stone, the left wing producer who thinks Hitler was not all that bad. Read about his anti-Semitic, anti-American outburst.
INTERNATIONAL
EGYPT TV: HITLER DID RIGHT THING TO JEWS - The United States arms Egypt and gives that nation hundreds of millions of dollars a year because it is officially "secular." Hmmm ... Tell that to this Iman who has a national TV show. On July 11th he talked about how Hitler was right to kill Jews. Meanwhile Christians in Egypt are being prohibited from building an addition onto their church compound. Where does the money come from that we give to Egypt? We borrow it from Saudi Arabian billionaires.
PALESTINIAN CHRISTIANS PERSECUTED - In June of this year my wife and I once again visited Samaria, which the Western media refers to as the West Bank. Christians continue to move from their homes, since Saudi banks will give any Muslim 200% of the value of a Christian home to buy it. Christians can sell or face persecution. This CBN video, although almost a year old, does a good job of portraying the situation of Christians in this area.

PRESIDENCY
OBAMA AND CHINA - On July 22nd a legally organized protest against Chinese oppression was held on the west steps of the Capitol. Several congressmen including Gus Bilirakis (R-FL) and Chris Smith (R-NJ) spoke at the event which was sponsored by the Falun Gong. Although many speakers asked why President Obama will not speak out about religious persecution in China, when it was my turn to speak I offered the answer which is found in Proverbs 22:7 See my remarks at this event
CONGRESSMAN WOLF ON OBAMA - This week Congressman Frank Wolf (R-VA) made, on the floor of the House, a statement critical of the human rights record of President Barack Obama. The congressman said: "These most cherished ideals, which are at the very heart of the American experiment, have time and again been sidelined in this administration's foreign policy. This is a grievous mistake which has dire implications for the world's dissidents and democrats who yearn for freedom and look to America to be their advocate." Read more at Congressman Wolf's Internet site.
THE PRESIDENT AND STONING DEATH - This weekend worldwide protests are being held against the Iranian court decision to stone a woman to death who confessed to adultery under torture. President Obama, who is trying to "dialog" with the strict Islamic state, has said nothing about death by stoning, or the fact that in a Sharia court of law a woman has far fewer legal protections than a man. The problem may be his "diversity" views. Obama apparently can't criticize a stoning death sentence because it is an integral part of Islam. However, he can make critical remarks about evangelical Christians who believe homosexuality is a sin. How strange.
THE CONGRESS
DEMOCRAT WANTS TO LEGALIZE INTERNET GAMBLING - Congressman Barney Frank has offered a bill that would legalize Internet gambling. During the George W. Bush Administration this and may other organizations worked to pass a law that effectively banned Internet gambling. Apparently Congressman Franks would allow gambling addicts to bet away their homes online while intoxicated at 3:00 AM, so the government can make a few bucks. Franks' bill would tax online gambling while making it legal in all 50 states regardless of the state laws. Franks claims his HR 4976 would net the government $42 billion over ten years. Question Mr. Franks: How much money will be lost by Americans online to foreign gambling operations while the government is taking in that $42 billion? The loss to society is staggering. Please contact your congressman about HR 4976 and tell him exactly what you think of legalized online gambling.
MUSLIMS AND DEMOCRACY - This week in Washington I attended a panel discussion on human rights in Saudi Arabia. (Actually there are virtually no rights in that nation.) The discussion was sponsored in the Capitol complex by Congressman Dan Burton (R-IN) who has assisted some American women who married Saudi men, to escape their miserable lives there. The panel discussion was presented by the Center for Democracy and Human Rights in Saudi Arabia. Of course several Muslims showed up to attack American support of Israel. This was done to distract those present from the hellish life women live in Muslim nations. Muslims blame all their problems and the world's problems on "the Jews."
CULTURE AND RELIGION
THE GROUND ZERO MOSQUE - A fight is brewing over the proposed 13 story mosque, called the Cordoba House, near ground zero. Mayor Bloomberg and the left-wingers love the idea because, they claim, it shows our "diverstiy." Apparently Bloomberg and company have no idea why Muslims have named it the Cordoba House. It is named after the mosque in Cordoba, Spain from which the invading Islamic army of a Caliphate ruled over Spain. The Cordoba mosque was built on top of a church to mark victory over Christianity, just as a mosque was built on the ruins of the Temple mount to symbolize Muslim victory over Jehovah. Now the Muslims are using the name as a symbol of victory for the 9-11 terror attack on the United States. And where is the $100 million coming from to build the Cordoba House? The "organizers" refuse to say. See this short but powerful expose video on the the planned Ground Zero mosque.
INTERNATIONAL
CHRISTIAN BROTHERS SHOT DEAD IN COURT - Brothers Sajid Emmanuel, 30, and Rashid Emmanuel, 32, were assassinated by masked gun men in a district court building in Faisalabad, Pakistan on July 19th before they ever entered a courtroom. The two men, one of whom was a pastor, were charged with "blasphemy," a catch all crime that is used to persecute Christians in Pakistan, a nation we arm and give tens of millions of dollars to. This outrage occurred during a two day visit by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton who made no mention of the repression and murder of Christians in that nation. On the second day of the Clinton visit a Christian village was attacked at night by automatic weapons fire.
MUSLIMS MURDER CHRISTIANS AS THEY SLEEP - Near Jos, Nigeria Muslims invaded a Christian village at 1:30 AM on July 17th, killing the wife and two children of Reverend Nuhu Dawat, a pastor of the Church of Christ in Nigeria (COCIN).His congregation's church was also burned to the ground. Four other members of another family were murdered as well by the "religion of peace" attackers. They also stole money and looted the homes. Perhaps some of the money stolen will be used to build the 13 story mega mosque near Ground Zero in New York.
HOW MANY DID RELIGION OF PEACE KILL THIS WEEK? - From time to time I provide a link to www.thereligionofpeace.com so you can keep up with the body count of innocent civilians killed by Muslims. The count so far in July is well over 300. WARNING: Some of the images at this site are graphic.

PRESIDENCY
HE LIED - The Obama Administration has awarded Pennsylvania $160 million for a new "high-risk" insurance program under a provision of the new national health care program which Congress enacted in March. Pennsylvania Governor Edward Rendell (D) says the "high-risk" program will cover any abortion that is legal in Pennsylvania. Before passage of the bill, Obama won the support of "pro-life Democrats" with his promise that his Administration would not fund abortions with tax dollars.
OBAMA AND ABORTION IN KENYA - The Obama Administration in directly interfering in the vote on a new constitution in Kenya. So far the administration has given as much as $10 million to groups in Kenya campaigning for a "Yes" vote on a new constitution that would legalize abortion. U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) documents show funding to local organizations to "drum up political support" for the pro-abortion constitution.
FREEDOM TO WORSHIP? - I am not the only one warning America about the Obama Administration's shift from protecting "religious freedom" to advocating "freedom of worship." Chuck Colson has a great two minute video showing that the Administration wants to downgrade freedom of religion to promote the homosexual agenda. See Colson's video.
THE CONGRESS
CONGRESSMAN QUESTIONS GROUND ZERO MOSQUE - Congressman Peter King (R-NY) wants to know where the money is coming from to build a proposed $100 million mosque across the street from the site of the Sept. 11 attacks in New York City. King told the Associated Press, "I think the 9/11 families have a right to know where the funding comes from; I think there are significant questions." Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who claims to be a Jew, is all giddy and excited about having the 13 story Islamic center at Ground Zero and has promised to help in the ground breaking ceremonies. The giant mosque is a project of the American Society for Muslim Advancement and the Cordoba Institute. It's director, Imam Faisel Abdul Rauf, refuses to disclose the source of the funding but wants a total tax exemption for the property.
CULTURE AND RELIGION
MARRIOTT CANCELS TERROR GROUP - The Muslim organization, Hizb ut-Tahrir has canceled its annual U.S. conference after the suburban Chicago Marriott hotel in Oak Brook, Il backed out of housing the event. Last year's event in the Chicago area was titled "The Fall of Capitalism and the Rise of Islam." I have reported on the terror links of this group previously. The day the hotel canceled them out, a member of Hizb ut-Tahrir was arrested in St. Petersburg, Russia under an arrest warrant from Uzbekistan associating him with terrorist acts.
GAY LIKE GOOGLE - Internet search giant Google this week announced it will be giving raises to employees that are homosexual or lesbian, and who are in "partnerships". Heterosexuals at Google, by this rule will be paid less than their gay counterparts. The gay and lesbian raises are intended to offset the health care tax benefit enjoyed by heterosexual couples. Married heterosexual couples do not pay taxes on the health care provided by employers. Google says the raise is to allow the homosexuals to pay the federal tax on health care benefits they buy for their "partners." Unmarried heterosexual couples living together will not get the raise because Google says they can always get married. Gee ... it is nice to know that Google promotes marriage along with its gay agenda.
CATHOLIC PROFESSOR FIRED FOR TEACHING CATHOLICISM - This is just incredible ... A Catholic who taught Catholic theology at the University of Chicago has been fired for "hate speech" because he explained the teachings of the Catholic Church on homosexuality. Apparently the university wants someone to teach a Catholic theology that is unacceptable to the Pope and the Catholic Church, to accommodate homosexuals. Students have organized to force the school to reinstate Prof. Ken Howell. Howell is now represented by the Alliance Defense Fund
INTERNATIONAL
IRAN TO EXECUTE PASTOR - Iran has backed down, for now, from stoning to death a woman accused of adultery, but the blood lust of Islam continues to thrive there. A well-known Iranian pastor, Youcef Nadarkhani and his wife were arrested in Rasht because of "Christian activities." Two Iranian judges have agreed to make him "liable to capital punishment," as part of the newest crackdown on Christians in Iran. Read more

His pick for the Supreme Court, Elena Kagan, accepted money from the Saudi Royal family to create a Center for "Islamic Studies and Sharia Law" at Harvard University while she was the Dean of the Law School. Because the Center is funded by Muslims, only a positive spin is put on Sharia law at Harvard. The Obama Administration has refused to utter even one word against stoning deaths in Muslim nations. The Religious Freedom Coalition is working with other American and European groups to embarrass the Iranian government in the world media and have Ashtiani released.

MICHIGAN COPS ENFORCE SHARIA LAW - No Christians were allowed, and the police enforced the rule. As the crowd shouted "Allah Akbar" four Christian missionaries were arrested on June 18, 2010 by the Dearborn Police at the Annual Arab International Festival. NOTE: 90% of Arabs in the United States are Christians who fled Islamic oppression. Christian Arabs were not allowed at the "Arab" festival. Dr. Nabeel Qureshi, MD, an Arab, was one of those arrested. Three others were arrested for video taping the arrest of Qureshi and their cameras illegally seized. Richard Thompson, President and Chief Counsel of the Thomas More Law Center, commented, "It's evident that the Dearborn Police department was more interested in placating Muslims than obeying our Constitution."

THE MEDIA AND REALITY - The story I led with in the Presidency section about NASA being tasked with Muslim outreach was on the Fox News Internet site for days. It was carried by many conservative bloggers and was on Fox News TV broadcasts. The NASA Muslim outreach was not mentioned even once on ABC, CBS or NBC news. Meanwhile over at CNN, their editor for Middle Eastern affairs was fired after she showed her blatant bias for Islamic terrorists by mourning the death of a terrorist leader publicly. I seriously doubt CNN would have fired the editor, Octavia Nasr, had not Fox News exposed her public sympathy for the terrorist leader Sayyed Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah.
INTERNATIONAL
IRAN BACKED DOWN FROM STONING? - Barack Obama said nothing about the planned stoning death of Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said nothing. The National Organization for Women (NOW) seems not to have a problem with killing the woman with stones. But, the rest of the world is outraged and it is front page news all over Europe and Asia. Enough media has reported on it and enough European and Asian leaders have spoken up, that it appears that Ashtiani has been spared, for now. I say "for now" because in the past Islamic nations have postponed this kind of tortuous death until it is out of the news. See BBC report See also video about stoning in Iran made in 2008.

OBAMA OK WITH SAUDI HATE CRIMES - This week Barack Obama meets with the Saudi royalty in Washington, and they will receive royal treatment from the White House despite the fact that the Kingdom distributes books filled with hatred and despicable anti-democratic lies throughout the world. In a recent column Nina Shea of the Hudson Institute wrote: "Saudi textbooks teach, along with many other noxious lessons, that Jews and Christians are "enemies," and they dogmatically instruct that various groups of "unbelievers" - apostates (which includes Muslim moderates who reject Saudi Wahhabi doctrine), polytheists (which includes Shiites), and Jews - should be killed. Under the Saudi Education Ministry's method of rote learning, these teachings amount to indoctrination, starting in first grade and continuing through high school, where militant jihad on behalf of "truth" is taught as a sacred duty. These textbooks are used not only in Saudi Arabia but in Saudi-funded schools around the world." Read full article
OBAMA'S "MODERATE" SUPREME PICK - As Dean of Harvard Law School, Elena Kagan demanded that Blue-Cross - Blue-Shield cover sex-change operations as an "equal right." She also agreed to the Lambda Transgender Task Force demand to force women to share bathrooms and locker-rooms with cross-dressing men. While promoting the homosexual agenda, "moderate" Kagan also supported a multi-million dollar donation from Saudi Arabia to promote Sharia law at Harvard. She apparently sees no contradiction in these positions, even though homosexuals are hung in Saudi Arabia under Sharia law. Kagan claims to be a Jew, but she is a secularist who just hates Christianity. Since both Sharia law and homosexuality are contrary to the Bible, she supports both. Kagan will be confirmed by the Senate and become the most radical Justice on the Supreme Court ever.
THE CONGRESS
ACLU ON THE RIGHT SIDE? - The so called "Disclose Act" passed recently by the House, allegedly to "reform" political campaigns, is the most undemocratic bill ever passed by Congress and is so unconstitutional that even the ACLU is against it. The Disclose Act prohibits the Religious Freedom Coalition, and all other non-profits with a membership of less than one million from publishing comments on candidates for public office up to four months before an election. Why were large organizations allowed to do what the rest of us can't? It's because the far left wing Moveon.org has over one million members, while all conservative groups except the NRA have less than one million. Liberal AARP can comment on candidates, but conservative 60 Plus cannot. Under the proposed law, beginning today, July 2nd, this Religious Freedom Coalition Update would be prohibited from mentioning the pro-abortion views of Senator Harry Reid, for example. (Note that the bill has not yet passed the Senate.) Read the ACLU letter here.
REAFFIRMING IN GOD WE TRUST - ''In God We Trust'' is the official motto of the United States. Congressman Randy Forbes (R-VA) introduced H.Con.Res.274, not only to reaffirm the national motto, but to call on America to trust God once again. The Democrat controlled House has referred the resolution to the Judiciary Committee, Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties. The resolution has 72 cosponsors, most of whom are in the Prayer Caucus. Please contact your congressman about H.Con.Res.274.
CULTURE AND RELIGION
CHRISTIAN "TERRORIST" GIVEN ASYLUM - This was the strangest immigration case I have seen in some thirty years of working on religious freedom issues. THE FACTS: A young man, born into a high ranking Islamic terrorist family, converted to Christianity and worked undercover for Israeli intelligence to stop terror attacks against Israel and the United States, then sought asylum here. The Obama Administration tagged him as a "terrorist sympathizer" and ordered his deportation to the West Bank where he would, of course, be immediately murdered. Rep. Doug Lamborn, R-CO organized a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Napolitano signed by 22 House members urging her to grant asylum to Mosab Hassan Yousef. Israel sent Mr. Yousef's Shin Bet handler, Gonen Ben-Itzhak, to San Diego to testify on behalf of his former agent, but by the time the hearing started this week the Obama Administration realized the publicity was so damning that the Immigration Judge granted Yousef asylum with no witnesses called. But the question remains: Why did the Obama Administration want to send this young hero who had stopped numerous terrorist attacks against Israelis and Americans to his death? Yousef's book, Son of Hamas details his conversion to Christianity. Jerusalem Post version of story is interesting.
SUPREMES: CHRISTIAN GROUPS CAN'T DEMAND CHRISTIAN LEADERS - This week the Supreme Court by a 5-4 vote held that recognized student groups at universities do not have a right to choose members and leaders who adhere to their core beliefs. The Court stated that public universities can require student groups to accept any student as a member or leader regardless of that person's beliefs. Christian groups must accept atheist members and Jewish groups must accept Muslim members, according to the Court. Read more

THE SHAME OF AFGHANISTAN - At the order of Afghan president Karzai, more than 20 Afghan Christians have been arrested. The arrests were made after Abdul Sattar Khawasi, a deputy of the lower house, demanded that Muslim converts to Christianity be executed.

There are almost 100,000 NATO troops fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan; however, the government we put in power there is just as intolerant of religious freedom as the Taliban. Read report
