PRESIDENCY
FBI wanted posterOBAMA CELEBRATES POLICE WEEK - For "Police Week" President Obama and the First Lady invited a rapper to the White House who has written racist songs that call for killing cops. One of the songs celebrates a cop killer with a $1 million FBI reward on her head. So committed is the rapper, named Common, that he even named his daughter Assata Shakur, after a convicted cop killer. The White House responded that his words have been taken out of context. Common attended the same church as Barack Obama for 20 years, where the pastor was controversial black racist Jeremiah Wright. 
SAME-SEX NAVY MARRIAGES - This week the Navy, with the blessings of the White House, gave an official OK for chaplains to marry homosexuals. In military terms "OK" means chaplains were ordered to conduct same-sex marriages. Within 48 hours the order was rescinded after it was pointed out that the Navy is not a sovereign State and that there is an existing federal law against same-sex marriage.
 

THE CONGRESS 
EMPOWER INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM - Congressman Frank Wolf (R-VA) introduced legislation to amend the International Religious Freedom Act (IRFA), to make international religious freedom a greater priority. Wolf authored the 1998 law establishing the International Religious Freedom (IRF) Office at the State Department, headed by an ambassador at-large, and creating the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF). Among the new legislation requirementss, the Secretary of State in coordination with the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, Treasury and the U.S. Agency for International Development, must issue a one-time report to Congress on the best uses of foreign assistance to promote religious freedom and religious engagement.

RELIGION AND CULTURE 
TEN COMMANDMENTS WEEKEND - For nearly a decade I have been working with the Ten Commandments Commission to pass a Congressional resolution designating the first weekend in May as Ten Commandments Weekend. A key sponsor of the resolution in the Senate was Sam Brownback who is now governor of Kansas. This year Governor Brownback did indeed issue a Proclamation making every first weekend in May "Ten Commandments Weekend" in Kansas 
BANKRUPT BUT GAY FRIENDLY - The California Senate has passed a bill requiring public schools to be "gay friendly." The Fair, Accurate, Inclusive, and Respectful Education Act (FAIR) requires teaching about the history of the homosexual movement. Textbooks, class studies and materials would be required to treat favorably homosexuals, bisexuals and transgenders. The bashing of white men, Jews, Christians, the Founding Fathers of the nation and anything European would still be permitted unless, of course, they were found to be gay. Not wanting to look too foolish, the California legislature is also working to outlaw square bottom sheets on hotel beds. The proposed law would require hotels and motels to have fitted sheets. There was no word as to whether the fitted sheets were "gay friendly." At some time in the future the California legislature plans on looking into the fact that the state is bankrupt and can't pay its bills or salaries.
ANOTHER HONOR KILLING IN MICHIGAN - A Muslim man tracked his stepdaughter through four states, at last finding the girl, who had escaped her home in Minnesota and was trying to hide from him. He had threatened to kill her for bringing "dishonor" to his family. The "dishonor" was acting like a typical American girl. Rahim Alfetlawi found Jessica Mokdad, 20, in Warren, Michigan and killed her.
APRIL 28th CHAIRMAN'S REPORT ONLINE - In this April 28th issue: The Peace Prize President / Ignoring the New Nazis / John McCain Fronts for Obama / Senator Reid Drops "Under God" from Pledge / Congressional Resolution Proposed to Honor King James Bible / Cleared, then Murdered for Blasphemy / Good Friday Disaster Averted in Indonesia


NO 911 MOSQUE
ANOTHER NEW YORK MEGA MOSQUE - While plans to build a mega mosque at Ground Zero get most of the media attention, another hotly contested mosque construction project is already underway not far away in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Sheepshead Bay. Local residents have protested and formed a group called Bay People and another called Sheepshead Bay Patriots. They have sought an injunction to stop the mosque construction, but their request was thrown out by Judge Mark Partnow on May 10, 2011. Read more

INTERNATIONAL 
MORE ATTACKS ON EGYPTIAN CHURCHES - Two more churches in Egypt were attacked and destroyed. At least 12 died and hundreds of Christians were injured defending the churches from mobs of Muslim men. At St. Mary's, police did not arrive at the scene until two full hours after the attacks began. There was no mention of the atrocities by the Obama White House and no pressure is being placed on the Egyptian government to stop the attacks against religious minorities.  
MORE CHRISTIANS DIE IN NIGERIA - At least 16 people were killed in a pre-dawn attack Friday in the Christian village of Kurum in northern Nigeria. The Muslim attackers, which the Western media referred to as "unidentified gunmen," attacked a farming village in Bauchi state killing at least 16 Christians. More than 20 houses were burned to the ground. There was no condemnation of the attacks by the White House or the State Department. A pastor's account of the murder of his wife and daughter.
WHY WE SHOULD DE-FUND PAKISTAN - Read my latest opinion editorial on why the billions of dollars of funding to Pakistan must be stopped. Pakistan is oppressive and repressive. Religious minorities are persecuted in Pakistan and much of our money is going to fund a nuclear program that threatens democratic India.

THE PRESIDENCY
NOTHING HAPPENED IN NIGERIA? - Journalists counted more than 500 bodies of Christians after a bloody attack by Muslims in central Nigeria. One mass grave in Dogo Na Hawa contains 332 Christians who were buried on Monday according to the Nigerian Red Cross. Although Nigeria is half Christian, it has a Muslim president. Officially the government police claim that only 109 died and say it was a reprisal for Muslim cattle being killed in January. Actually there were more than 300 Christians killed in January in the same area. President Obama has no comment on the massacre of Christians. Instead he is preparing for a trip to Muslim Indonesia where he is expected to make another speech thanking Islam for its great contributions to civilization.  
OBAMA'S MARCH OF FOLLY - Everything is being ignored at the White House to concentrate on forcing the Democrat Party controlled Congress to pass Obama Care. The threat of Iranian nukes has been forgotten, our allies are ignored, and the unemployment situation goes to the back of the bus. Obama has even delayed his apology tour to Indonesia by three days to concentrate on talking to members of his own party in the House to vote for Obama Care. Two highly regarded Democrat pollsters had this to say in the Washington Post: "Their blind persistence in the face of reality threatens to turn this political march of folly into an electoral rout in November." Read more of their op-ed.
THE CONGRESS
TEN COMMANDMENTS RESOLUTION COMING - The language for the new Ten Commandments Weekend resolution has been completed and was filed by Congressman Paul Broun (R-GA) today. Ron Wexler of the Ten Commandments Commission and I have been working with various congressional offices for weeks to prepare a resolution. Ten Commandments Weekend is the first weekend in May and will coincide with the May Day 2010, a day of repentance and prayer to be held at the Lincoln Memorial. Please contact your congressman and ask for his support  
HOUSE AT A DEAD STOP - Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has canceled virtually all committee hearings to have her "team" work full time in getting the votes for taking over one sixth of the American economy with Obama Care. Not even in war time has the entire process of the House been nearly shut down to work on one bill. Democrats have over a forty seat majority and it is her own party that seems not to want to go along with her "march of folly" toward the cliff. Meanwhile the nation's business is being ignored.
"WE WANT PAID ABORTIONS" - Pro-life Democrat Bart Stupak, (D-MI) was told by committee Chairman Waxman that the leadership does want to fund abortion in a national health care plan. On a radio show Stupak recited a conversation between the two men: "I gave him the language. He came back a little while later and said, 'But we want to pay for abortions.' I said, 'Mr. Chairman, that's -- we disagree. We don't do it now, we're not going to start.' "'But we think (we) should,'" Stupak said Waxman told him. Read more

Speaker Polosi now thinks she has bought off enough congressmen to pass Obama Care without Stupak and his pro-lifers. She is scheduling a vote for next week.

CULTURE AND RELIGION
VICTORY FOR "IN GOD WE TRUST" - The decision by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which ruled that the national motto, "In God We Trust," does not violate the U.S. Constitution, is a victory in the fight to halt the continuing destruction of our nation's religious heritage. This is a victory to savor considering the far left tendencies of the Court. Atheist Michael Newdow who brought the suit against the national motto, also lost a previous court battle against the words "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance. The Pledge case remains in that Court.  
JIHAD JANE - A Pennsylvania woman known to authorities as "JihadJane" was charged in federal court this week with using the Internet to recruit jihadist fighters. She seemed obsessed with killing Lars Vilks, the Swedish cartoonist who drew the cartoon of Mohammed that caused riots in many parts of the Muslim world. Read more on Jihad Jane. Meanwhile seven more people were also arrested in Ireland for plotting to kill Lars Vilks. Great story on this in the London Times.

INTERNATIONAL
CHRISTIANS SLAUGHTERED IN NIGERIA -The Muslims came in the middle of the night and fired guns into the air. When the women and children ran from their homes they were slaughtered with machetes. Pregnant women, children and infants were not spared. President Bill Clinton sprang into action and bombed Christian Serbia for weeks when less was done to Muslims in that nation. Eventually, a part of Christian Serbia was taken to provide an independent Muslim nation in Europe. But, when Christians are massacred there seems not to be much interest in Washington, DC. Read more  
ISLAMIC TERROR COUNT - In the last seven days Islamic terror attacks (that we know about) have killed in the following countries: Iraq 59, Lebanon 1, Nigar 5, Nigeria 528, Pakistan 61, Somalia 46, Thailand 5, and Yemen 2. More were injured than killed. For more details go to http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/.
