Obama Admin Criticized for Joke over Christians Attacked in Egypt

(Photo: Reuters/Jason Reed) President Barack Obama’s administration has been accused of joking about the violent attacks against Christians in Egypt after a question at a press briefing about the “red line” in the crisis. “With people being killed, Christians in particular being targeted, churches being destroyed, what’s the President’s red line in Egypt?” White House Deputy Press Secretary Josh Earnest was asked  by a journalist at a press conference last week, to which he replied “Well, I didn’t bring my red pen out with me today.” Earnest went on to say that the White House has “condemned in unambiguous […]

Poll: Majority of Americans Have Never Heard of Common Core

Close to two-thirds of the American public doesn’t know what Common Core is, according to a recent poll . The Obama administration has been pushing the education initiative that seeks to achieve a core curriculum in the nation’s schools, despite strong resistance from several states. The poll found that 62 percent of respondents had never heard of Common Core, and even among parents with children in public schools K-12, only 45 percent of parents had heard of it. Students in kindergarten through third grade throughout the Hazleton Area School District participated in a four-day Kids University program held this […]

A Shiny New War: At Home and Abroad

By: Terresa Monroe-Hamilton Reuters/The Blaze : A marcher holds a U.S. flag bearing the image of President Barack Obama during the 50th anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington August 24, 2013. Knowing that we would wind up here does not take a crystal ball. Many have predicted just this scenario, including myself. War is the ultimate solution of leaders who find themselves in a variety of rock and hard place situations. And Barack Obama has stuffed America in the hardest place of all, sealed us in with nuclear […]

Obama administration using housing department in effort to diversify neighborhoods

By Doug McKelway Published August 08, 2013 In a move some claim is tantamount to social engineering, the Department of Housing and Urban Development is imposing a new rule that would allow the feds to track diversity in America’s neighborhoods and then push policies to change those it deems discriminatory.  The policy is called, “Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing.” It will require HUD to gather data on segregation and discrimination in every single neighborhood and try to remedy it. HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan unveiled the federal rule at the NAACP convention in July. “Unfortunately, in too many of our hardest hit communities, […]

Common Core is not an Issue between Republicans and Democrats but an Issue of Liberty and Freedom

Common Core has been portrayed as an issue involving Tea Party and conservative organizations that are against the federal government takeover of the educational system in the nation in violation of the 10th Amendment to our Constitution as well as the 4th Amendment which protects our right to privacy. But this is incorrect. There are […]

Christianity is our foe…Word manipulation used for control

“Christianity is our foe. If animal rights are to succeed, we must destroy the Judeo-Christian Religious tradition.” – Peter Singer, founder of Animal Rights “Childbearing should be a punishable crime against society, unless the parents hold a government license.

New Obamacare Lawsuit May Reach Supreme Court & Deem Obama/IRS Actions Unconstitutional

Last year, the United States Supreme Court ruled that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly referred to as Obamacare, was upheld to be constitutional as a tax. Though it’s been three years since Obamacare has been the law of the land, problems have arisen (we all knew they would), and costs have skyrocketed from their projections (we knew that too). As a result, some parts of Obamacare will be delayed by one year. However, it looks as if the Supreme Court may just get a second hearing on the unpopular, and in many of our opinions unconstitutional […]

I Don’t Know What to Think’ About White House’s Silence on Chris Lane Killing, Says Oklahoma Governor

  Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin said on Sunday she thinks it would be a “nice gesture” for President Obama to speak out about the tragic murder of Australian student Chris Lane. “What do you make of the silence of people like Al Sharpton, and, quite frankly, the silence of the president?” Chris Wallace, host of […]

Remembering the Victims of Communism and Nazism in Eastern Europe

Today, August 23, is remembered across much of the world as Black Ribbon Day in remembrance of the millions of victims of Nazi and Communist totalitarianism in Europe. Seventy-four years ago, on August 23, 1939, the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany signed the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact . The pact was a treaty of non-aggression between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union that partitioned much of Eastern Europe into German and Soviet zones. After the signing of the pact, Poland was invaded by Germany from the west and by the Soviet Union from the east. Finland was also invaded by the […]

“President Obama, I call on you to uphold the values of honesty, justice, and respect for the people’s will. Peace” First Posted on Raymondibrahim.com The Sufi orders of Egypt — representatives of a moderate form of Islam — are the latest segments of Egypt to condemn Barrack Hussein Obama’s flagrant support for the Muslim Brotherhood despite the will of the Egyptian people to be rid of their oppressive rule. Dr. Abdel Hadi al-Qasi, the top leader of Egypt’s Sufi orders, just delivered a message addressed to the U.S. president. After correctly indicating that he was speaking on behalf of […]

Report: NSA Can Review 75 percent of US Domestic Web Traffic

The Wall Street Journal peels back another layer of the NSA surveillance onion with an exclusive report: The National Security Agency—which possesses only limited legal authority to spy on U.S. citizens—has built a surveillance network that covers more Americans’ Internet communications than officials have publicly disclosed, current and former officials say. The system has the capacity […]

Media Downplay Anti-Christian Violence In Egypt

For some reason I know all about a rodeo clown, Nixon’s tapes from over 40 years ago, and a typo on a Tea Party candidate’s campaign website, but as Newsbusters points out, “In the media’s wall-to-wall Egypt coverage, one important facet of the ongoing crisis has gotten short shrift: the deadly plight of that nation’s […]

Churches In Egypt Cancel Sunday Masses For the First Time in Over 1500 Years

The persecution of Coptic Christians in Egypt has become so bad and so violent in recent weeks that churches in the northern part of the country have cancelled Sunday masses and prayer services for the first time in nearly two millennia. The Times of Israel reported this story a few days ago: Amid escalating violence […]

Gays, Muslims & Illegals Granted Asylum But Christian Family Denied

In 1938, German dictator Adolf Hitler created a law that made it illegal to homeschool.  Seventy years later, that law was still on the German books and homeschooling was illegal.  Like America’s public schools, Germany’s schools are very liberal anti-God establishments. Uwe and Hannelore Romeike could not bear to have their children indoctrinated by the […]

Parallels Between Fall of the Roman Empire, Rise of the Ottoman Empire and What’s Happening Today

TheBlaze’s national security adviser Buck Sexton appeared on TheBlaze TV Wednesday to discuss the similarities between the fall of the Roman Empire and subsequent rise of the Ottoman Empire, with the situation facing the West today.

Hillary Clinton’s Global Agenda

She said she didn’t want to stay home and bake cookies. And she didn’t.  A radical feminist with a background in Marxist dogma and Communist connections, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton is today wielding  national power and may be on her way back to the White House — this time as President. This is so despite […]

Press 1 for English: Obamacare Assistance Now Available in 150 Languages!

Kathleen Sebelius, Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary, has announced the release of $67 million in ObamaCare related grants. The funds are being awarded to 105 national organizations and businesses which have volunteered to help Americans learn about the health care coverage available in the Marketplace. The government calls them “navigators.” I’m not sure what the official ObamaCare definition of a navigator is, but it sounds to me a lot like an insurance agent. They tell you what your options are and make recommendations. There are certainly some interesting recipients including a few  Planned Parenthood  and United Way chapters. If you […]

Egypt Moves Against Al Jazeera as CNN Reporters Embrace It

The Egyptian Cabinet has “assigned competent authorities to assess the legal status of Al Jazeera,” accusing it of threatening stability and national security.

Study: Welfare pays more than work in most states

Looking for a good paying job? Well, look no further. No, really, stop looking. In 35 states, welfare benefits pay more than a minimum wage job, according to a new study by the libertarian Cato Institute, and in 13 states welfare pays more than $15 per hour. “One of the single best ways to climb out of poverty is taking a job, but as long as welfare provides a better standard of living than an entry-level job, recipients will continue to choose it over work,” said Michael Tanner, senior policy analyst and co-author of the study. The study is an […]

Obama’s Mideast ‘Legacy’ Crumbling Before Our Eyes

Maybe the teleprompter is busted, or maybe Valerie Jarrett’s on vacation. Or maybe Barack Obama just really doesn’t have a clue what to do in Egypt. As a major instigator of the “Arab Spring” series of rebellions and government overthrows in Muslim countries, Obama shares a large part of the blame for the current situation in the Mideast. When Egyptians threw out the former president-for-life, Hosni Mubarak, and held elections, there was a lot of attendant blather from the White House and media about the wonders of democracy that Egypt would soon be enjoying. When the election spat Mohammed […]
