Poll: Americans Split Evenly on Requiring Business Owners to Serve Same-Sex Weddings

/0 Comments/in , /by

Americans are closely divided on the question of being compelled to celebrate same-sex marriages, according to a recent survey by the Pew Research Center.

Those surveyed split evenly on whether wedding-related businesses should be required to provide services to same-sex couples, regardless of religious objections the business owners might have.

A total of 49 percent agreed, while 48 percent disagreed.

Frequency of religious attendance was one significant factor in determining respondents’ views, according to the survey published Wednesday.

Sixty-three percent of weekly churchgoers, including 88 percent of white evangelicals, said business owners should be allowed to refuse service for same-sex weddings if they had religious objections.

Among less frequent churchgoers, just 42 percent believed the same, including 34 percent of religiously unaffiliated Americans.

Those surveyed also were divided on the issue of which public bathrooms transgender individuals should be allowed to use.

Fifty-one percent agreed that transgender people should be allowed to use the public restroom for the gender they “currently identify” as, while 46 percent said they should use the bathroom that corresponds with their biological sex.

On birth control, the survey found that 67 percent agreed employers with religious objections should be required to provide it in employee insurance plans.

However, Roger Severino, director of the DeVos Center for Religion and Civil Society at The Heritage Foundation, questioned the value of the findings.

“When there is significant difference of opinion on hot button issues, it is all the more important to protect religious freedom and religious accommodation,” Severino told The Daily Signal in an email. “But unfortunately, these polls are of limited value because the questions were subtly biased against religious liberty.”

Biased or leading questions can affect survey results drastically, he said.

The question regarding provision of wedding-related services to same-sex couples asked:

[Should] businesses that provide wedding services, such as catering or flowers … be able to refuse those services to same-sex couples if the business owner has religious objections to homosexuality?

“The religious objections aren’t to homosexuality generally,” Severino said. “Rather, the conflict is limited just to the forced celebration of same-sex unions against a person’s beliefs.”

A question regarding employer coverage of contraception was worded as follows:

If you had to choose, which comes closest to your view? Employers who have a religious objection to the use of birth control should be…

ABLE TO REFUSE to provide it in health insurance plans for their employees

REQUIRED TO PROVIDE it in health insurance plans for their employees, just as other employers are required to do?

“The question … implies that religious groups are seeking exemptions to requirements imposed on all employers, when in reality the coverage requirement does not apply to one third of all businesses and nearly 100 million people,” Severino said.

The Pew Research Center poll, taken in August and September, surveyed a randomly selected, nationally representative group of 4,538 adults. The margin of error was plus or minus 2.4 percentage points. (For more from the author of “Poll: Americans Split Evenly on Requiring Business Owners to Serve Same-Sex Weddings” please click HERE)

World Trade Projected to Grow at Lowest Rate Since 2009

/0 Comments/in , /by

The World Trade Organization announced this week that it expects global trade to grow much slower than originally projected.

WTO analysts, who projected global trade would grow by 2.8 percent this year, now expect it to grow by 1.7 percent, the lowest rate since 2009.

Trade growth rates in North America contributed to the WTO’s revised projection. Analysts now expect the region’s imports to grow by 1.9 percentage points, a significant drop from the 6.5 percent growth rate in 2015.

WTO Director-General Roberto Azevêdo said this slow growth:

should serve as a wake-up call. It is particularly concerning in the context of growing anti-globalization sentiment. We need to make sure that this does not translate into misguided policies that could make the situation much worse, not only from the perspective of trade but also for job creation and economic growth and development which are so closely linked to an open trading system.

The benefits of trade are made clear each year in The Heritage Foundation’s Index of Economic Freedom, echoing the World Trade Organization’s sentiments. Countries with greater trade freedom have higher per capita incomes and lower rates of poverty, and do a better job at protecting the environment.

The United States has an average tariff rate of 1.5 percent and currently is ranked 40th in the world for trade freedom. But the federal government still protects many sectors.

Special interest tariffs and nontariff barriers for domestic sugar producers, truck manufacturers, steelmakers, and footwear producers, just to name a few, hinder Americans’ freedom to trade. They are really just another tax on American consumers—just one more thing that makes it harder for average families to get by.

The United States should reject protectionism and embrace the principles of free trade, which expand economic opportunity for all Americans. (For more from the author of “World Trade Projected to Grow at Lowest Rate Since 2009” please click HERE)

This Refugee Bill Could Win Republicans the Election … If They Cared to Pass It

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wisc. (F, 53%) has made it clear that if voters reelect his party, he will promote jailbreak legislation, the biggest priority of George Soros. Imagine if his party would instead run on protecting the security and sovereignty of the people by returning to the states the power over refugee resettlement?

Now, Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa. (C, 76%) has a bill to do just that. Sadly, his bill — a reflection of amazing policy and a winning political strategy — is not as much of a priority as George Soros and creating a permanent Democratic majority.

Perry’s bill, similar to a plan I outlined in Stolen Sovereignty, would require that states affirmatively sign off on refugee resettlement proposals before the federal government and private [taxpayer-funded] refugee resettlement contractors can seed their communities with refugees. Under this legislation, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) would have to first submit a plan to the relevant state legislature that includes all of the information concerning costs, criminal history, and health records of prospective refugees. They would also have to provide information regarding said refugee’s affiliation with any Muslim Brotherhood group named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation case. Most importantly, any plan for resettlement must be ratified by the state legislature and signed by the governor, otherwise no refugees can be settled in that state.

While immigration in general is a national policy and was designed to be dealt with at a federal level, as I explain in chapter eight of Stolen Sovereignty, refugee resettlement is different:

In some respect, refugee resettlement is a more destructive form of social transformation for local communities than any other form of immigration. Unlike other categories of immigration, refugees by definition do not go through the organic process of becoming immigrants. They are brought over and resettled, often in large numbers concentrated in specific localities, with no acclimation to American culture or the ability to support themselves. Despite the plethora of resettlement assistance programs run by the State Department, HHS’s Office of Refugee Resettlement, and taxpayer-funded NGOs, most refugees wind up on the full array of welfare programs. Most important, they strain the public services and public education of the local jurisdictions that are forced to accept them.

Thus, communities are transformed in a matter of a few years (just look at Minneapolis), all at the behest of international officials, unelected State Department, and HHS bureaucrats, and parasitic contractors that have everything to gain and nothing to lose by endangering the communities and saddling them with a fiscal burden. The states and the taxpayers have no say in the matter.

As Congressman Perry said in a press release:

Instead of appeasing international organizations like the United Nations, however, this Administration should spend more time listening to the justifiable concerns of our state governments when it comes to refugee resettlement. At a time when political candidates are talking more and more about transparency, states and local communities are told simply to accept refugees from some pretty dangerous places – with no information about financial ramifications or assurances that these refugees have been properly vetted or vaccinated. Our communities are sick and tired of being dictated to from Washington and this legislation reflects that.

As we’ve noted before, the original law was never designed to function this way, but now it has placed this most pernicious form of social transformation without representation on autopilot. States were supposed to have input at every stage of the process, but unfortunately there is no hard-trigger written into law to grant states a veto power. While courts are granting refugee contractors standing to sue for more refugees, states are denied standing to sue President Obama for violating the advanced consultation clause of the Refugee Act.

No legal body in this country — from Congress to state legislatures — would approve the resettlement of tens of thousands of Somali refugees if they had to affirmatively approve it today. Unfortunately, in the most grotesque violation of the social contract and consent-based citizenship, the most radical forms of cultural transformation are in the hands of unelected entities. Scott Perry’s bill would right this ship and empower the people.

Perry is right to be upset from his vantage point. Pennsylvania has been seeded with 3,200 refugees this year, one of the highest per capita. Relatively small cities like Harrisburg and Lancaster have been flooded with Somalis, Syrians, Bhutanese, Congolese, and Iraqis. Would even a small minority of the people in these cities support such a transformation if they had a say in their future? And this is just from one year, Obama plans to bring in another 110,000 beginning in October. Thanks to the GOP budget capitulation, this resentment is signed, sealed, and delivered.

Individual conservatives who are caught in the tortured trap between Democrats, Trump’s antics, and the perfidious party leadership would be wise to run on Perry’s state empowerment bill. It fuses together a major national security issue that has captured the attention of the public with the principles of federalism and state and popular sovereignty. If the Left thinks turning middle America into the Middle East is so popular, why not let the states decide?

Hillary Clinton Is a ‘Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing,’ Just Like Her Mentor

/0 Comments/in , /by

Hillary Clinton may be gaining in recent presidential polls against Donald Trump, but before those Americans go to the polls for the former secretary of state, they really ought to take a look at one of her most famous mentors: Saul Alinsky.

To many in the world, the name Alinksy has become a special kind of boogeyman, a watchword for everything wrong with the modern American Left. And rightly so. Deemed the “father of community organizing,” the Chicago native and sociological theorist dedicated his life work to developing the activism framework that has left its mark on nearly every single leftist political campaign in the mid-to-late 20th century.

A new documentary from EWTN, Arcadia Films, and City of Light Studios, “A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing” explores just how Alinsky developed his theories of community organizing. He gleaned wisdom from his experiences with the Chicago mob and communists during the Great Depression, and imparted his theories of agitation, deceit, intimidation, and confusion to liberal ideologues for decades to come.

In Alinsky’s worldview, the civil rights movement, the Catholic Church, and civic organizations were little more than vehicles to an ultimate end. Through detailed biographical storytelling, the documentary takes the viewer step-by-step from the crime-ridden streets of Chicago into the very halls of power that he was able to infiltrate and infect with his savage and diabolical tactics.

True to the film’s name, it begins with a parable of a wolf who dresses himself in sheepskin to infiltrate a herd of sheep with the intent of subjecting the lot to slaughter. In the same context, it shows the true nature of Alinsky’s work and vision that were draped in the language of helping the world’s “have-nots,” but doing so through the means of subverting the family, traditional institutions, morality, and truth itself under a mechanism dripping with the aphorisms of Marx and Machiavelli.

All throughout, scenes of violence, manipulation, infiltration, and political chaos are juxtaposed against Alinsky himself (portrayed by a reserved and morose Jim Morlino), interposing a series of short lines that offer the viewer a deeper look into the man behind the movement. This is a man to whom truth and reality were subjective stumbling blocks on the road to Marxist ideals of progress, and who would stop at nothing to impose that ideal on the American people.

“A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing” is undoubtedly an overtly Catholic production, but its insight into the life of one of the 20th century’s most dangerous American thinkers is valuable to audiences of all worldviews. This is especially true given the dire implications of the film’s message in light of the current presidential election cycle and the seemingly rapid progress that the political Left has already made during the Obama years.

Many are aware of President Obama’s connection to Alinsky, as outlined in a 2009 article by Jim Geraghty at National Review. But while Obama merely studied under Alinsky’s disciples during his tenure in Chicago, Hillary Clinton learned directly from the man himself.

Alinsky’s influence on the Democratic presidential nominee was unavoidable and intrinsic to her political development. Not only did Clinton — then Rodham — write a 92-page thesis about Alinsky’s tactics at Wellesley College, letters a few years ago reveal that the organizer’s influence on the future first lady are greater than originally thought.

“Dear Saul, When is that new book coming out—or has it come and I somehow missed the fulfillment of Revelation?” a 23-year-old Hillary wrote in 1971 about Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals. “I have just had my one-thousandth conversation about Reveille [for radicals, written by Alinky in 1946] and need some new material to throw at people.”

As Jen Kuznicki points out elsewhere at Conservative Review: “Hillary’s whole life has been dedicated to socialist/communist ends. The fact that the arguments and the anger fomented by Alinsky in the ‘40s, ‘50s and ‘60s are the same arguments and anger of today’s Obama/Clinton model is telling.

“David Brock, in his 1996 biography, ‘The Seduction of Hillary Rodham,’ called Hillary ‘Alinsky’s daughter.’ That is an apt label,” he continues. “Where Alinsky tactics are used now on both sides to confuse and agitate, Hillary is poised to become the supreme leader with all the power and tools of our monstrous government at her fingertips.”

Donald Trump’s rhetoric may have pushed some Christians toward Hillary Clinton, but perhaps an honest and sober look at her inspiration will push them back. (For more from the author of “Hillary Clinton Is a ‘Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing,’ Just Like Her Mentor” please click HERE)

5 Things That Prove This Was the Most 2016 Week Ever

/0 Comments/in , /by

On March 11, 2016 the asteroid 2016 EF195 passed within satellite distance of Earth. The asteroid was “twice as big as the asteroid” that crashed in Russia in 2013. Having avoided the sweet meteor of death, the United States has had to endure the 2016 election without a celestial savior. A 2016 without SMOD has blown past the absurd. This week was no different. Here are five things that prove this was the most 2016 week ever.

1. Candidate suggests you look at porn.

It is pretty safe to say that this week marked the first time a major party presidential candidate suggested that Americans watch a specific piece of porn, or porn in general for that matter. Donald Trump did not disappoint. Here’s his tweet.

This would be absurd in a normal election year. Alas, in 2016 it is more of the same.

2. A former governor cannot name ONE foreign leader.

I once chided unserious candidate Evan McMullin for saying former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson was an unserious candidate. Well, I may need to find a recipe for grilled crow, because Johnson once again proved how unserious he is this week. When asked to name a foreign leader, Johnson went blank. Here, watch:

3. The FBI director said Hillary Clinton wasn’t given special treatment.

With a straight face, and a touch of anger, FBI Director James Comey bristled at suggestions that the special treatment his agency gave to Hillary Clinton was, in fact, special. Politico has the report.

‘You can call us wrong, but don’t call us weasels. We are not weasels,’ Comey declared Wednesday at a House Judiciary Committee hearing. ‘We are honest people and … whether or not you agree with the result, this was done the way you want it to be done.’

The normally stoic FBI chief grew emotional and emphatic as he rejected claims from Republican lawmakers that the FBI was essentially in the tank for Clinton when it recommended that neither she nor any of her aides be prosecuted in connection with the presence of classified information on Clinton’s private email server. He acknowledged he has ‘no patience’ for such allegations.

‘I knew there were going to be all kinds of rocks thrown, but this organization and the people who did this are honest, independent people. We do not carry water for one side or the other. That’s hard for people to see because so much of our country, we see things through sides,’ Comey said. ‘We are not on anybody’s side.’

Not quite sure Comey will be able to “weasel” his way out of this one anytime soon.

4. Trump cites internet polls to say he won the debate.

For most of the summer, the daily, almost patented Trump poll tweets all but disappeared. After the debate, Trump tweeted the poll tweet to end all Trump poll tweets. You see, he used the completely unscientific results of internet polling to say he won the debate. It doesn’t matter if it is true, Trump just needs it to be true.

President Ron Paul could not be reached to offer his opinion on internet polling. But the Fox News senior leadership was available, and they told their on-air hosts that online polls “do not meet our editorial standards.”

5. We are about to find out what happens when the last exchange health insurer turns out the lights.

Some of the absurdity of 2016 has real world consequences. Insurers in at least two state marketplaces have decided to leave the Obamacare exchanges. This furthers a trend that began earlier this year. Their main reason for their leaving is that Congress has not appropriated money to pay them for the losses they have endured being in the exchange. Obamacare was designed with a built-in yearly bail out. Not only did Democrats set out to fine you for not buying the insurance industry’s products, they also gave the insurance companies a yearly bailout.

Sensing a problem, the Obama administration is deciding to spend money not appropriated for the payments to pay off these insurers. You may be wondering how that can be, when the Constitution gives Congress, and only Congress, the right to approve spending. The Washington Post explains.

Justice Department officials have privately told several health plans suing over the unpaid money that they are eager to negotiate a broad settlement, which could end up offering payments to about 175 health plans selling coverage on ACA marketplaces, according to insurance executives and lawyers familiar with the talks.

The payments most likely would draw from an obscure Treasury Department fund intended to cover federal legal claims, the executives and lawyers said. This approach would get around a recent congressional ban on the use of Health and Human Services money to pay the insurers.

The start of negotiations came amid an exodus of health plans from the insurance exchanges that are at the heart of the law. More than 10 million Americans have gained coverage through the marketplaces since they opened in 2014.

Those are just five stories that confirm this past week was the most 2016 week ever. Chances are next week will ratchet up the stakes and take the prize.

Despair not, valued reader, for there are at least 80 asteroids within the Moon’s orbit projected to pass Earth between now and the election. Perhaps one of these will be the SMOD you are hoping for. Oh, and Tom Brady is returning to the New England Patriots after tomorrow’s game against the Bills. Perhaps he can save this year yet.

Alabama Chief Justice Removed From Bench for Advising Lower Courts to Uphold Alabama Marriage Laws

/0 Comments/in , /by

Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore’s defense of traditional marriage has cost him his seat on the bench.

Moore was suspended today without pay through the end of his term following a hearing by the Alabama Court of the Judiciary (COJ) today on six ethics violations charges.

The judiciary court ruled that Moore defied law already clearly settled by the Supreme Court’s June 2015 Obergefell vs. Hodges same-sex marriage decision when he told Alabama’s probate judges six months later that they were still bound by a 2015 state court order to deny marriage licenses to gays and lesbians.

“Beyond question, at the time he issued the January 6, 2016, order, Chief Justice Roy Moore knew about Obergefell and its clear holding that the United States Constitution protects the right of same-sex couples to marry,” the court wrote in the unanimous decision.

Things weren’t so clear, his lawyers say. At the time Moore sent the administrative orders to the probate judges, the Alabama Supreme Court had yet to consider the effect the Obergefell decision would have on an ongoing Alabama case; thus the case was, in effect, still pending.

“The 2016 Administrative Order was merely a status report of the pending case before the Alabama Supreme Court,” said Mat Staver, Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel and representing Moore. “The order did not change the status quo. It did not create any new obligation or duty. To suspend Chief Justice Moore for the duration of his term is a miscarriage of justice and we will appeal this case to the Alabama Supreme Court. This case is far from over,” said Staver.

The COJ found Moore guilty of all six charges and suspended him through the end of his term. However, since he is 69 years old, he will be ineligible to run for office once his term ends in 2019. The order of suspension effectively removes him from the bench, which is a violation of COJ rules without a unanimous 9-0 vote, Staver said.

In a statement Friday, Moore said that the COJ “had no authority” over administrative orders to probate judges. He said the Judicial Inquiry Commission chose to listen to the LGBT community, and the decision “clearly reflects the corrupt nature of our political and legal system at our highest level.

“This was a politically motivated effort by radical homosexual and transgender groups to remove me as chief justice of the Supreme Court because of outspoken opposition to their immoral agenda. … We intend to fight this agenda vigorously and expect to prevail.” (For more from the author of “Alabama Chief Justice Removed From Bench for Advising Lower Courts to Uphold Alabama Marriage Laws” please click HERE)

New Poll Gives Overwhelming Verdict About Who Won Monday’s Debate

/0 Comments/in , /by

If Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump needed any convincing that a new approach to debate preparation might be in order, a Fox News poll has revealed that respondents overwhelmingly believe Democratic rival Hillary Clinton won Monday night’s debate.

The poll found Clinton’s lead over Trump moving from one percentage point to three, 43 percent to 40 percent.

However, the slight bump came amid major positive impacts shown elsewhere.

The poll found 61 percent of respondents said she won Monday’s debate, against 21 percent who said Trump won.

It also showed that Trump went down since the debate in areas such as honesty, temperament and whether respondents would be comfortable with him in the White House. Clinton rose in all areas.

Although Trump has said he won Monday’s debate and pointed to online polls seconding that conclusion, many observers have sided with the Fox News respondents.

“It clearly looked like he ran out of gas after 30 minutes, and that came through loud and clear,” said Scott Reed, the senior political strategist for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

“Trump needs to show a higher level [of] seriousness, so that he’s better positioned as an agent of change,” Reed said. “If he can accomplish that, he’ll win undecided voters and late-breaking voters who clearly don’t want to support Hillary Clinton.”

CNN was reporting that New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie might be tasked with overseeing Trump’s preparations for his Oct. 9 rematch with Clinton. The Trump campaign and Christie have denied that.

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said on Tuesday he is willing to help Trump prepare.

“I am happy to help,” Cruz said. “I have conveyed that to them.”

The senator also differed with those who thought Clinton won.

“I think he really went after Hillary, which was a good thing,” Cruz said. “Anyone who is swooning at Hillary’s performance last night, that’s a pretty good indication that you’re a card-carrying member of the liberal media, especially in the first half-hour. I think Donald very much had the upper hand over Hillary. Hillary was tentative and had no real answers. She was on the defensive the entire time.” (For more from the author of “New Poll Gives Overwhelming Verdict About Who Won Monday’s Debate” please click HERE)

A satanic club will now be an option for students at a Portland, Oregon, elementary school.

On Tuesday, the Parkrose School District formally approved Satanic Portland’s petition to launch a club at Sacramento Elementary School.

The Satanic Temple has been targeting schools with Good News Clubs, which are sponsored by the Child Evangelism Fellowship, an organization whose purpose is to “evangelize boys and girls with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.”

One of the leaders of the Satanic Temple said their program focuses “on science and rational thinking,” and will promote “benevolence and empathy for everybody.” (Read more from “Satanic Club Coming to Portland Elementary School” HERE)

Ohio Muslim Immigrant Kills Own Daughter

/0 Comments/in , /by

Police say they can’t figure out the motive behind an Ohio father’s horrific crime of violence against his own daughter, and the media won’t touch the topic, but some say the answer lies hidden in plain view.

Jamal Mansour, 63, of Rocky River, Ohio, walked into his adult daughter’s bedroom at 1:15 a.m. Tuesday and shot her twice in the head while she slept. His daughter, Tahini Mansour, 27, died about 10 hours later at a local hospital.

“We don’t have a solid motive other than an argument occurred between a father and his daughter,” said Lt. George Lichman with Rocky River Police.

Islam experts and former Muslims say the suspect’s behavior is rife with clues but don’t look for the police or media to flesh them out and share those clues with the public.

Mansour is a Muslim immigrant from Jordan and his alleged execution-style killing of his daughter bears the hallmarks of Islamic honor violence, says Daniel Akbari, a former top Shariah lawyer in Iran who defected to the U.S. several years ago and now lives in Texas.

Report: Hillary Keeping Bill off the Campaign Trail to Limit Talk of His Affairs

/0 Comments/in , /by

Fearing that the taint of sexual scandals would overshadow any positive impact, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton reportedly is minimizing the role of former President Bill Clinton in her campaign.

According to the Daily Mail, author Joe Conasaon, who wrote the new book Man of the World: The Further Endeavors of Bill Clinton, said the issue is not merely whether Republican nominee Donald Trump might mine the Clintons’ past for juicy tidbits, but what might surface about Bill Clinton’s more recent activity.

“Much more troubling to Hillary and her closest associates was the constant chatter concerning her husband’s alleged extramarital romances,” he wrote.

“If he appeared anywhere with an attractive and unattached woman, even in a group photo leaving a restaurant, her name would be ‘linked’ to him in tabloid columns, as occurred regularly for a while with Belinda Stronach, a divorced Canadian heiress in her forties who held a seat in Parliament,” Conason wrote.

There was fire behind the smoke, Conason noted, referring to Julie Tauber McMahon, who was dubbed “the energizer” because of her frequent private meetings with Bill Clinton.

Conason also names actress Gina Gershon as a rumored Clinton paramour, a claim Gershon has denied.

As for Trump, who said after Monday’s debate he had planned to bring up Bill Clinton’s affairs but then thought better of it, a comment he made this week suggests Clinton’s past may be front and center in the coming days.

“The American people have had it with years and decades of Clinton corruption and scandal,” Trump said in New Hampshire on Thursday. “And impeachment for lying. … Remember that?”

Trump’s reference was to the scandal caused by Bill Clinton’s affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
