THE PRESIDENCY
OBAMA'S STEM CELL MADNESS - Embryonic stem cells don't work. Every experiment with them has failed, yet governments spend hundreds of millions of dollars on this holy grail imagined by mad scientists. Now Barack Obama has authorized the used of federal funds for this Frankenstein type madness.
House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) spoke out against Obama's plan when he stated, "The Administration's decision to dramatically expand the number of stem cell lines derived from human embryos, and create incentives for the destruction of human life, is a provocative step beyond what the President proposed just months ago and yet another sign that he has quickly retreated from his promise to 'be a President for all Americans.' ... I urge the President to reconsider this decision and instead join Republicans in supporting bipartisan solutions such as Rep. Randy Forbes' Patients First Act, which would promote proven adult stem cell research that does not force taxpayers to aid in the destruction of human life." We commend Congressman John Boehner for speaking out as a leader on this issue.
USA SAFER WITH OBAMA IN EUROPE? - President Barack Obama is busy in Europe apologizing for the very existence of the Untied States and promising to destroy our economy and way of life by reducing "our" carbon footprint. The mainstream USA media reports on his antics in Europe as if he is a god. What does the European media think of him? One UK paper op-ed referred to him as the Loony Tunes president. Apparently some in Europe have noticed the obvious. Without his teleprompter, Obama has not much to say.
THE CONGRESS
TWO SENATORS SAY HUMAN LIFE IS SACRED - Sen. Brownback (R-KS) and Sen. Landrieu (D-LA), introduced the Human-Animal Hybrid Prohibition Act (S.1435) in July. The bill would prohibit the creation of human-animal hybrids. "This legislation works to ensure that our society recognizes the dignity and sacredness of human life," said Brownback. "Creating human-animal hybrids, which permanently alter the genetic makeup of an organism, will challenge the very definition of what it means to be human and is a violation of human dignity and a grave injustice." Commercial laboratories claim combining animal and human DBA can help create cures for various illnesses. Social conservatives see a huge moral issue. Read more
"IN GOD WE TRUST" RESOLUTION PASSES - Congressman Dan Lungren's (R-CA) resolution in the House will correct a problem in the new Capitol Visitor Center, through which everyone entering the Capitol must now pass. Although planned and built during the Bush Administration, there were no references to God in the new facility, not even the National Motto, "In God We Trust." On July 9th, House Resolution 131 was passed by a huge margin. Only the hard core socialists in the Democrat Party and Ron Paul voted against it. The full title of the bill was: Directing the Architect of the Capitol to engrave the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag and the National Motto of "In God we trust" in the Capitol Visitor Center.

AMERICA'S SPIRITUAL HERITAGE - There is growing support for Randy Forbes' H.Res.397, "America's Spiritual Heritage Resolution." We have 66 co-sponsors from both parties so far. This resolution details the Judeo-Christian heritage of our nation. Momentum began to build when Dr. Tom Price (R-GA), who leads the Republican Study Committee, recommended it to the group. Within 24 hours of his recommendation, twenty members of the Republican Study Committee signed on.
TAXPAYER FUNDED ABORTIONS - Congressman Todd Tiarht (R-KS) this month introduced an amendment to a funding bill to prohibit taxpayer dollars from being used to fund abortions in Washington, D.C. Tiahrt's amendment would have reinstated a 14-year-old prohibition on publicly-funded abortions that radical leftist Speaker Nancy Pelosi stripped out this year at the request of President Obama. His amendment was defeated in Committee. Read more
CULTURE AND RELIGION
NY TO BUY HUMAN EGGS - Cash strapped New York State is slated to spend $600 million on embryonic stem cell research. As part of the grants offered the state will pay $10,000 for women to "donate" their eggs for the research. Frankensteinish scientists claim they will one day be able to cure any decease with embryonic stem cells. With billions of dollars spent not one illness has been successfully treated by using the cells of destroyed embryos. However, dozens of deceases, some deadly, have been cured with the use of adult stem cells. Read more
ARE WE DONE WITH MICHEAL JACKSON? - I am not a pop music fan, but I am sure Michael Jackson was a terrific entertainer. He sold lots of CD's and sung to sold out shows. At one time he made a ton of money. But he was sure no civil rights hero and was probably a pervert who preferred young boys to grown women. That said I found the coverage of his death overdone and so did Congressman Peter King. (See Foxnews) At about the same time TV pitchman Billy Mays died. Billy was a conservative who loved his family and the Lord. I didn't watch the memorial for Jackson, but I did watch the memorial show for Billy Mays. Watch Billy Mays memorial show

INTERNATIONAL
THE MIRACLE OF AMI ORTIZ - Several times I have mentioned the bomb injuries Ami Ortiz, the son of my good friends David and Leah Ortiz who live in Ariel in the heart of Samaria. At first everyone believed the bomb was planted by Palestinian Muslims upset about the the number of converts David Ortiz had won to the Lord. It is now apparent, however, that the bombing of their apartment was perpetrated by extreme orthodox Jews upset with the converts David had won over to the Lord in the Jewish community. Ami still has over 100 pieces of shrapnel from the bomb in his body. Read more at Ami's Internet site at www.amiortiz.com
KIDS CELEBRATE HOMICIDE BOMB MOM - To think this is normal human activity you would have to be a Muslim. On a Hamas TV children's program called "Tomorrow's Pioneers", the two young children of female suicide terrorist Reem Riyashi watched in the studio as her murderous suicide attack on innocent people was reenacted. See video clip here Former President Jimmy Carter supports these psychopaths and believes that Gaza should be a sovereign state with an army.
