First Open Homosexual Chosen for Pentagon Chief of Staff; Ban on Transvestites to be Lifted

/12 Comments/in , /by

By Richard Sisk. New Defense Secretary Ashton Carter has chosen former acting Air Force Secretary Eric Fanning to become his chief of staff and the first openly gay man to hold the post.

Fanning, currently the Air Force undersecretary, was a key member of the transition team along with Army Maj. Gen. Ron Davis that guided Carter through his Senate confirmation hearings to replace outgoing Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel.

As chief of staff, Fanning will have major sway over Carter’s schedule and access to his office. Davis was expected to become military adviser to Carter.

In his brief remarks after his swearing in ceremony at the White House on Tuesday, Carter noted the presence of Fanning and Davis in the small audience and thanked “Eric and Ron.”

In response to the Fanning announcement, Chad Griffin, president of the gay rights advocacy group Human Rights Campaign, said in a statement Wednesday that few were as qualified as Fanning to serve as Carter’s chief of staff.

Air Force Secretary Wants to Lift Transgender Ban

By Susan Page. Now that the U.S. military has opened more jobs to women and allowed gay men and lesbians to serve openly, Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James says the ban on transgender troops is likely to be reassessed and should be lifted.

“Times change,” she told Capital Download, saying the policy “is likely to come under review in the next year or so.” Asked whether dropping the ban would affect military readiness, she replied: “From my point of view, anyone who is capable of accomplishing the job should be able to serve.”

In a wide-ranging interview at the Pentagon, James also described progress in the bombing campaign against the radical group Islamic State, also known as ISIL or ISIS, and said the U.S.-led military coalition has gotten help from an unlikely source: Iran.

The Pentagon last week confirmed Tehran has conducted airstrikes against ISIS targets in eastern Iraq, creating a de facto alliance with the United States despite the lack of formal relations between the two longtime adversaries. (Read more from this story HERE)

Watch Rev. Franklin Graham Expose Why Obama Is Really Protecting ISIS

/21 Comments/in , /by

Rev. Franklin Graham appeared with Greta Van Susteren on FOX News on Tuesday to discuss the Obama Regime’s latest Orwellian word games, this time refusing to identify the 21 beheaded Christians as “Christians,” but instead, referring to them as “citizens” and “innocents.”

Rev. Graham, who runs Samaritan’s Purse, an international relief organization, told Van Susteren that Obama is refusing to “accept and understand the evil that is in front of him.”

“The president is ignoring the fact that these are Islamic extremists,” Rev. Graham told Greta. “And they are bent on destroying the West. They’ve already said they want the flag of Islam to fly over the White House.”

Also on Tuesday, a stunned Rev. Graham wrote on Facebook, “I am perplexed as to why our President will not acknowledge the truth and call Islamic extremism what it is” . . .

“The president, his entire life — his whole influence has been Islam,” he reminded Greta. “His mother was married to a Muslim. His father was a Muslim. Then she married a man from Indonesia. He was raised in Indonesia. Went to Islamic schools. I assume she was a Muslim.” (Read more from “Obama Protecting ISIS” HERE)

ISIS’ Magazine: Islam Is ‘Religion of the Sword’ not a ‘Religion of Peace’

By Samuel Smith. In the newest edition of its apocalyptic English-language propaganda magazine, the Islamic State terrorist organization refutes the long-standing mantra that Islam is a “religion of peace” and insists that Islam is a “religion of the sword.”

Countering the popular opinion that Islam calls for peace among Muslims and non-Muslims alike, an article in the seventh edition of Dabiq magazine states that Allah calls for Islam to be a religion of violence and any Muslim who believes otherwise holds a heretic view.

“There is a slogan repeated continuously by apologetic ‘du’at’ [callers for Islam] when flirting with the West and that is their statement: ‘Islam is the religion of peace,’ and they mean pacifism by the word peace,” reads the ISIS article, which was translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute.

“How far is their claim from the truth, for Allah has revealed Islam to be the religion of the sword, and the evidence for this is so profuse that only a zindiq (heretic) would argue otherwise.”

ISIS is notorious for its widespread torture and brutality against religious minorities, violators of ISIS’ brand of Islamic law, and apostates. Many Muslims all over the world detest the Islamic State’s violent actions, which include beheadings, burnings and merceless killings, and assert that the group’s actions are not justified in the name of Islam.

Apple Fires Employee on Same Day He Was Targeted For His Pro-Family Stand

/9 Comments/in , /by

Tech giant Apple, Inc. has fired an Alabama lobbyist and former state legislator after a local political blog criticized him for his views in support of true marriage.

Quoting complaints by openly homosexual Apple CEO Tim Cook that his home state of Alabama has been “too slow” in embracing a redefinition of marriage to include same-sex couples, Inside Alabama Politics questioned why the company would hire former Republican representative Jay Love to represent them in Montgomery.

“Love was the first Republican in the country to advertise against California’s gay rights decision to strike down the state’s ban on same-sex marriage,” the author noted. “In a campaign commercial Love calls gay marriage a part of the liberal Democratic agenda in Washington that he will fight against.”

“While it isn’t unusual rhetoric from Republicans and even many Democrats running for office, especially in conservative states’ like Alabama, it does seem slightly unusual he was hired as a lobbyist by Apple, unless of course Apple didn’t know of his past stance on the subject of same-sex marriage,” the blog post read.

The blog author also criticized Love for a resolution he sponsored praising 2009 Miss USA contestant Carrie Prejean, who sparked outrage from homosexual activists by expressing her belief that marriage is between a man and a woman during the pageant’s Q&A section.

/4 Comments/in , /by

An unemployed mother who came forward to say that she’s one of the three winners of North Carolina’s $564-million Powerball jackpot is sharing her blessing by donating money to her church.

Marie Holmes, 26, from the town of Shallotte in Brunswick, North Carolina, said she also plans to buy a house for her kids . . .

A mother of four kids including one with cerebral palsy, Holmes is overwhelmed and “very grateful” for her winning, saying that she didn’t regularly buy lottery tickets . . .

Holmes said she scared her kids when she told them that she won. “I was telling my kids that we had to struggle no more and I was yelling when I did it. I thought I was going to have a heart attack when I saw the ticket and I actually checked it,” she said.

When asked how did she feel about winning the jackpot, Holmes said, “I don’t think it really hit me yet. I guess when it hits my account, that’s when it’s gonna hit me.” (Read more about the jobless mother winning the lottery HERE)

Obama’s Use of Muslim Gang Sign Reminds Americans of His 2008 Gaffe About His “Muslim Faith” [+video]

/19 Comments/in , /by

Is President Obama a Muslim? A lot has been written about this, but if photographs speak louder than words, then a photo taken at last August’s U.S.-African Leaders’ Summit in Washington D.C. might shed considerable light.

It shows Barack Hussein Obama flashing the one-finger affirmation of Islamic faith to dozens of African delegates.

The Associated Press took this astonishing photo as the African dignitaries joined Obama, who hosted the event, in a State Department auditorium for a group photograph. It was published in an article in Britain’s Daily Mail, and it was the only use ever of the photo.

The one-finger display is the distinctive Muslim gang sign: The index finger points straight up while the thumb wraps underneath and presses against the digital phalange of the middle finger. The remaining fingers are squeezed against the palm in order to highlight the extended forefinger. The extended finger is symbolic of the one-God concept of Muhammad and is understood by all believers to be a symbolic shahada, the Muslim affirmation of faith: There is but one God and Muhammad is his messenger.

Thus when believers stick their index finger in the air, they demonstrate they are partisans of Muhammad’s God concept. And they also affirm their belief in Muhammad’s claim he was the interface between God and man. They also demonstrate they are part of the umma, the exclusive transtribal supertribe of believers that Muhammad started 1,400 years ago. (Read more about Obama using the Muslim gang sign HERE)

Montana Lawmaker Introduces License Plate Reader Ban That Could Have Nationwide Effect

/0 Comments/in , /by

Following a recent string of reports suggesting law enforcement officers have used license plate scanners to track and monitor drivers without cause or warrant, state lawmakers in Montana have decided they’re having none of it.

State Rep. Daniel Zolnikov, a Republican, introduced legislation Jan. 28 “prohibiting the use of a license plate scanner by the state or a local government.” His bill was approved Feb. 13 by the Montana House Judiciary Committee in an 11-10 vote, though still has a long way through the state legislature before it becomes law.

“The purpose of this legislation is to severely limit Montana’s consideration of purchasing and implementing these devices. We have a very short period of time before the state likely starts implementing license plate scanners and starts sharing it with the Department of Justice,” Zolnikov said.

The bill does make certain exceptions, however: Scanners could still be used in parking regulation enforcement, and the Montana Department of Transportation would be allowed to use the scanners at designated virtual ports of entry, weigh station ramps that use screening systems and virtual weigh stations that use motion technology.

But the information collected under these exceptions would remain anonymous, restricting the state from identifying the vehicle, the vehicle owner, the driver of the vehicle or any passengers in the vehicle. (Read more about the law the Montana Lawmaker introduced HERE)

Video of Baby Still in the Amniotic Sac is Heart-Breaking, but Shows the Humanity of the Unborn

/5 Comments/in , /by

It’s been shared nearly 200,000 times on Facebook in the past few weeks. But though I’ve seen the video posted on numerous friends pages, I never clicked on it until today.

I thought it was a graphic video of a late-term abortion. I’ve seen those before, and the images are seared in my brain. I don’t need to see them again.

But this is something much more incredible…and as heart-breaking. And yet, though it is difficult to watch, it is proving beyond any shadow of a doubt that the child inside the womb is not a “blob of tissue.” Lauren Enriquez over at LiveAction estimates, using information from the Endowment for Human Development, that the baby is only four months gestation – well within the legal limit for abortion in many countries and states . . .

While some people have suggested that the baby was the victim of a late-term abortion, others have said that it was the result of a miscarriage, while there is even a rumor posted on Youtube that he was removed from his mother after she died in a car accident. Either way, there is a story behind this video that should be told. (Read more about the video of the baby in the amniotic sac HERE)

Get Ready for $10 Oil

/3 Comments/in , /by

At about $50 a barrel, crude oil prices are down by more than half from their June 2014 peak of $107. They may fall more, perhaps even as low as $10 to $20. Here’s why.

U.S. economic growth has averaged 2.3 percent a year since the recovery started in mid-2009. That’s about half the rate you might expect in a rebound from the deepest recession since the 1930s. Meanwhile, growth in China is slowing, is minimal in the euro zone and is negative in Japan. Throw in the large increase in U.S. vehicle gas mileage and other conservation measures and it’s clear why global oil demand is weak and might even decline.

At the same time, output is climbing, thanks in large part to increased U.S. production from hydraulic fracking and horizontal drilling. U.S. output rose by 15 percent in the 12 months through November from a year earlier, based on the latest data, while imports declined 4 percent.

Something else figures in the mix: The eroding power of the OPEC cartel. Like all cartels, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries is designed to ensure stable and above-market crude prices. But those high prices encourage cheating, as cartel members exceed their quotas. For the cartel to function, its leader — in this case, Saudi Arabia — must accommodate the cheaters by cutting its own output to keep prices from falling. But the Saudis have seen their past cutbacks result in market-share losses.

So the Saudis, backed by other Persian Gulf oil producers with sizable financial resources — Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates — embarked on a game of chicken with the cheaters. On Nov. 27, OPEC said that it wouldn’t cut output, sending oil prices off a cliff. The Saudis figure they can withstand low prices for longer than their financially weaker competitors, who will have to cut production first as pumping becomes uneconomical.

Phil Robertson to Receive Free-Speech Award at CPAC for his Outspoken Statements on Homosexuality

/1 Comment/in , /by

Fourteen months after he sparked a major controversy for making remarks widely perceived as anti-gay, Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson has been named the recipient of a free-speech award from Citizens United, an organization routinely disparaged by Hollywood liberals.

Robertson will receive the “Andrew Breitbart Defender of the First Amendment Award” at this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference, which is better known as CPAC and is one of the biggest annual events for prominent movers and shakers on the right . . .

“Even when the entire mainstream media demanded he disavow his beliefs and attempted to have him fired from his own hit show for expressing these beliefs, he stood firm in his faith,” Citizens United president David Bossie said.

Bossie’s group is most famous for Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, where the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that blocking the airing of the group’s documentary film Hillary: The Movie was a violation of free speech. The FEC had argued, unsuccessfully, that the movie should adhere to laws governing political advertising, given that it was a critical look at Hillary Clinton scheduled for release when she was seeking the Democratic nomination for U.S. president.
