The Presidency
Obama's gay inauguration - The only religious leader scheduled for Obama's second inauguration, a pastor from Georgia, has now been forced to withdraw. What was the crime of Pastor Louis Giglio? It seems that back in the 1990's, he once delivered a sermon against homosexually. Obama picked a Cuban-American "gay poet" named Richard Blanco to serve as "Inaugural Poet." Meanwhile Newsweek magazine pictured Obama on the cover as "the first gay president." Read more
The new Cabinet members - Obama has appointed several controversial men to his cabinet. The main lightning rod so far is his pick for Secretary of Defense, former two term GOP Senator Chuck Hagel, who is a decorated Vietnam veteran. Critics point to his many anti-Israel and pro-Iranian statements, but miss the point. The White House makes the policy and the Cabinet members just follow that policy. Hagel was picked because of his positions, not in spite of them, and critics should be more vocal in pointing out that fact.
Obama's Syria problem - The jihadists President Obama supports in Syria appear to be losing ground to the Syrian army on all fronts and this is a serious problem for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, who are attempting to cleanse the Middle East of secular governments. News agencies are reporting that jihadists have withdrawn from many of the suburban areas of Damascus they once controlled and have moved north to areas where they can receive NATO supplies from Turkey.
Congress
Congressman against Obama's tanks and jets for Egypt - President Barack Obama knows full well that the tanks and jets he is sending to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt will eventually be used against Israel but has cleared the sale anyway. Congressman Vern Buchanan (R-FL) has joined the chorus of critics asking Obama to stop the shipments of 20 American F-16 fighter jets and 200 Abrams tanks to Egypt. "Simply put, the U.S. should not be providing military assistance to a regime that supports Hamas and is looking more and more like a dictatorship than a trustworthy democracy," Buchanan wrote.
Religion and Culture
More taxpayer money, more abortions - Planned Parenthood reported receiving record taxpayer funding in the last reporting year, while also performing a record number of abortions, according to its new annual report released this week. The nation's largest abortion provider maintained its infamous title, performing 333,964 abortions-a record for the organization that received 45 percent of its revenues from taxpayer-funded government sources. Read more
International Slavery alive and well under Islam - Slavery and human trafficking affect millions of people in the world today. Most slavery is centered in Islamic nations ... and indeed virtually every black slave brought to America in the 18th ant 19th centuries came from Islamic slave markets in Africa. Now National Geographic footage of slaves traded openly in the 1960's in Islamic areas has been found. Newer footage of slavery trades today in the same "enlightened" Islamic areas is now at our Internet site
Egypt: Christian women must wear veils or get raped - Egyptian imam Hisham el-Ashry popped up on prime-time television to tell women they must cover up for their own protection. "I was once asked: If I came to power, would I let Christian women remain unveiled? And I said: If they want to get raped on the streets, then they can," Ashry told Nahar TV last week. Read more
Syria: Car bombs in Christian neighborhoods - More car bombs have been detonated by Obama's rebels in Christian areas of Damascus. Last week one car bomb at a gas station killed dozens of people. Most Republicans in the Senate support Obama's war on the last secular government in the Middle East.
UK: Muslim preacher orders hit on 15-year-old girl - A Pakistani girl who was shot by the Taliban for advocating education for girls, and who is being treated in the UK, has had a fatwa issued ordering her death. Read more
Thailand: 157 teachers killed by Muslims - In the last ten years,157 teachers in Thailand have died at the hands of Muslim "separatists." The teachers have been killed, for the most part, for teaching girls. Just as in the USA, the Thai media refer to the Muslim terrorists as "insurgents" and rarely even mention Islam. Read more

Report From Washington - December 21st, 2012

Editor: William J. Murray

In this issue: Obama and the Newtown massacre / A "commission" of violence? / RINO to run Pentagon? / Anti-war activist to take over State Department / Anti-tax king Grover Norquist calls to raise taxes / The AMT is about to bite taxpayers / Churches not preaching about Hell caused Newtown shootings? / CAIR leaders calls for destruction of Israel / Muslims kill nine giving out polio vaccine / Child killer Mohammed Merah a "hero" of Islam / Thai Muslims hunt Buddhist to kill
The Presidency
The President and the Newton massacre - America is a violent society and if you don't believe that just watch the prime time TV shows each evening that depict gruesome murders and masked militarized police invading homes. (My personal favorite was a real-life show in which over twenty heavily armed masked police invaded the three room house of an unarmed obese female shoplifter.) Human bodies are dissected on detective shows as people watch and eat sandwiches. There is virtually no respect for humanity in our national media and the liberals are all more concerned about tadpoles that may go extinct than feeding poor kids. In response President Obama asks "why" the Newtown shootings occurred and appointed a commission to look into the "problem." The problem is obvious: The problem is liberal public schools that teach situational ethics and no moral absolutes. Read William J Murray's column
RINO to run Pentagon? - Barack Hussein Obama, a Muslim Brotherhood sympathizer, is expected to nominate "Republican" former Nebraska Senator Chuck Hagel to run the Pentagon after Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta leaves. Hagel once advised the Republican Party leadership that it should have a "big tent" policy that avoids social conservative issues. According to Hagel: "The Republican Party "shouldn't be a philosophy about morals." Hagel has supported by a wide range of anti-Israel forces around the world. Among those are radical Islamists who recently appeared on Press TV, Iran's official government television network to praise Hagel. Read more
Senator John Kerry replaces Hillary - President Barack Hussein Obama nominated Sen. John Kerry as his next secretary of state, saying Kerry's entire life "has prepared him for this role." I wonder if getting "prepared" included demonstrations against our armed services during the Vietnam War and tossing the citations he received while serving in the trash?
Congress
The Norquist factor - "Conservative" icon Grover Norquist, who agrees with George Soros on just about everything except taxes, endorsed Speaker John Beohner's plan to raise taxes on those making over $1 million a year. The Boehner tax bill, called Plan B, was pulled from the floor because Democrats didn't think it raised taxes far enough and Tea Party Republicans thought it raised taxes too much. Oddly Norquist just a few days earlier threatened to campaign against Republicans who "violated" his ATR tax pledge which he then violated himself. We are witnessing the self-destruction of a political party that doesn't have a clue as to who voted them into office. Read more
Alternative Minimum Tax - No one is talking on Capitol Hill about the AMT which will increase taxes on the average family by more than $4,000 in 2013. The tax set up in the 19060's to stop the "wealthy" from paying no taxes by using deductions has never been set to adjust for inflation. Because Congress took no action to raise the income trigger in 2012, as it has each year in the past, those earning as little as 33,750 will be forced to pay higher taxes.
Religion and Culture
The Newtown school massacre - The mainstream media immediately blamed guns and mental illness for the attack that killed so many young children. ABC nightly news asserted that 20% of children in the United States are mentally ill and that huge sums of money must be directed to help them. (ABC News stated that 23% of American women and 17% of American men are mentally ill as well.) It is ridiculous to state that one in five American children is mentally ill, but it would be right to state that more than one out of five children has no exposure to Christian teachings or morals and that is the real problem. I wrote a very lengthy column at WND.COM in which I place a lot of the blame on the churches of America for failing to preach the wrath of God and the existence of Hell. I explained the column and my positions on Mike Huckabee's national radio show. Listen to my segment with Huckabee here.
CAIR leader supports destruction of Israel - Cyrus McGoldrick is the Civil Rights Manager and spokesman for the New York chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations or CAIR in New York. At his Facebook page he repeated has used the slogan "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free," which of course means the destruction of Israel and the death of all the Jews there. During the November missile attacks by HAMAS on Israel he set up a link at a CAIR site to transfer funds to a terrorist organization. Any criticism of his behavior is, of course, Islamophobia.

International
Pakistan: Nine medical workers killed by Taliban - A ninth medical worker was killed during a wave of attacks on polio-vaccination teams. All have died at the hands of the Muslim Taliban since December 17. All have been killed while distributing free polio vaccine drops. Five of the nine health workers killed were women.
France: Victimhood caused Mohammed Merah to kill kids - "Mohammed Merah, you know, he's a hero, he's a martyr of Islam." That is what the cold blooded killing who shot Jewish kids in the face is called in his olde neighborhood. The New York Times investigated the "whys" and discovered it was not Islam but poverty. The liberal mind is just amazing.Read more
Thailand: Muslims hunt down Buddhist to kill - According to the liberal media in the West the only reason Muslims kill Christians and Jews in because of the existence of Israel. Why then are Muslims hunting down and killing Buddhists? Angry they could not find a Buddhist to kill at a government office the Muslims burned it down. Read more
