ISLAMISTS destroyed another tomb of a Muslim saint in a northern Mali region under their control, witnesses said. "I saw the Islamists in Goundam destroy the mausoleum of Alfa Mobo, beside the cemetery," local municipal councillor Mamadou Cisse said. Another witness, who declined to be identified, said, "They smashed the mausoleum down to the level of the tomb." He added that "there were 11 of them and someone was filming it." The witnesses said the Islamists were armed with axes and other tools.(snip) The Islamists say the shrines, venerated by local people and declared part of the world's heritage

Hello, I’m Vernon Parker from the great state of Arizona. My wife Lisa and I raised two beautiful children here, Sonya and Ian. I’ve had the privilege to work for the people of my town as their mayor, and now I am seeking to be their voice in the House of Representatives, as part of the Phoenix area’s new Ninth Congressional District. Every day, when I go around asking folks for their vote, what they ask ME most is what I’m going to do about jobs. Here’s what I tell them.

You recently described the vaguely Southern accent the president uses in speeches as “phony as his jaunt when he runs up and down Marine One.” What exactly is a phony jaunt? Every time you see him climbing up or down stairs, he elevates his arms and does this pumping, trying to look like a well-trained and trim dynamic individual. It’s something he does all the time, particularly when he’s climbing up to a podium to speak or address a crowd. This president understands that he got elected on the basis of style and not substance,

Catholic group: Federal agency
violates religious freedom of colleges

Daily Caller, by Robby Soave Original Article

A Catholic education group alleges that a federal agency has interfered in labor relations between Catholic universities and their faculty, jeopardizing religious liberty. Recently, the National Labor Relations Board forced one of the schools, Duquesne University, to hold a vote on allowing faculty to unionize — in violation of the First Amendment, according to Patrick Reilly, president of the Cardinal Newman Society. “What the Supreme Court has said is the very fact of the NLRB getting involved in these personnel issues is going to entangle the NLRB, a federal agency, in religious issues,” Reilly said

Shifting Reports on Libya
Killings May Cost Obama

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration’s shifting accounts of the fatal attack on the American diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, have left President Obama suddenly exposed on national security and foreign policy, a field where he had enjoyed a seemingly unassailable advantage over Mitt Romney in the presidential race. After first describing the attack as a spontaneous demonstration run amok, administration officials now describe it as a terrorist act with possible involvement by Al Qaeda. The changing accounts prompted the spokesman for the nation’s top intelligence official, James R. Clapper Jr., to issue a statement on Friday

'Drowned polar bear'

reprimanded but reinstated

A government scientist who drew international attention to drowning polar bears in the Arctic did not engage in scientific misconduct, federal investigators have found. Wildlife biologist Charles Monnett was cleared to return to his job at the Bureau of Ocean and Energy Management (BOEM), the Alaska Dispatch reported — but only after being suspended, reinstated and reassigned. Monnett and a colleague, ecologist Jeffrey Gleason, wrote an influential 2006 report describing apparently drowned polar bears floating in the Arctic, the Dispatch wrote. The report coincided with the offshore hunt for oil in US Arctic waters.

U.S. plan for Egypt aid blocked

WASHINGTON - The Obama administration notified Congress on Friday that it planned to transfer $450 million to Egypt to help the country's new government, but the move was quickly blocked by a skeptical lawmaker who said she saw no immediate need for the cash infusion. Representative Kay Granger, the Texas Republican who chairs the House of Representatives appropriations subcommittee for foreign operations, said the administration's $450 bailout proposal for Egypt was premature. "This proposal comes to Congress at a point when the U.S. - Egypt relationship has never been under more scrutiny, and rightly so," Granger said.

Venezuela Election: Will Hugo Chavez get the boot from voters on Oct. 7? Sure looks like it, with two polls flipping toward his opponent, Henrique Capriles Radonski, and markets signaling they believe it. It's about time. Venezuela is known for its "avalanchas" of big crowds at election rallies, but those are nothing like what's expected this Sunday as the campaign for the Oct. 7 vote wraps up. At least a million people are expected at the final rally for Capriles in Caracas, with nothing comparable in the works for Chavez.

Hello, everybody. Four years ago this month, a crisis that started out on Wall Street almost brought down our entire economy. The nation’s biggest banks were days away from failing. The stock market — and millions of American retirement accounts — were in free-fall. Credit froze. Lending stopped. And businesses large and small didn’t even know if they’d be able to make payroll. It was a moment the likes of which few Americans had ever seen.

US consulate attack in Benghazi

The attack on the American consulate in Benghazi in which the ambassador to Libya was killed seriously disrupted a major intelligence operation based there, according to briefings by Washington officials. A large number of Americans whose existence was unknown to Libyan leaders were evacuated from Benghazi even as fighting around the compound continued. The new briefings admit they were involved in CIA or other intelligence operations targeting Islamist activity in the east of the country, as well as securing some of the more dangerous weapons with which the country is infested. The revelations are being used by Islamist leaders

A viral video of an Obama supporter touting her “Obama phone” has put the spotlight on an obscure federal program that provides discounted phone service to qualifying low-income Americans. “Keep Obama as president,” the animated woman says on the video. “He gave us a phone.” The video is drawing attention to the government program — Lifeline — as a national debate unfolds on entitlements and the growing percentage of Americans who pay no income taxes and get a long menu of government benefits. But even though some beneficiaries may credit President Obama for providing the phones,

A natural hormone linked to the sleep cycle has been hailed as an important new weapon in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease.[Snip] Scientists at the Barcelona Biomedical Research Institute found that daily exercise and a dose of the hormone melatonin worked together to slow brain deterioration in mice. The research, published in the journal Neurobiology of Ageing, showed that after just six months the mice saw significant improvements in their health, to the extent that their brains were closer to healthy mice than those with Alzheimer’s. Clinical studies on humans have found signs of improvement in Alzheimer's sufferers

Barack Obama blocks Chinese bid for

President Barack Obama has blocked a privately-owned Chinese company from building wind turbines close to a Navy military site in Oregon due to national security concerns. The rare Presidential order to block the project comes as Mr Obama campaigns for a second term against Republican Mitt Romney, who has accused him of being soft on China.[Snip] The windfarm projects were all within or in the vicinity of restricted air space at a naval weapons systems training facility in Oregon, the administration said. "There is credible evidence that leads me to believe" that Ralls Corp and Sany Group "might take action that threatens to impair the national security of the United States,"

My weekend column muses on the glorious future foreseen by Obama’s speech to the General Assembly. But I’ve also been struck by the following passage on the late Chris Stevens, mysteriously asphyxiated by a spontaneous class-action movie review, as every government official from the Commander-in-Chief to his UN Ambassador has so persuasively argued. Last week, the President paid tribute to Stevens thus: (Snip) Chris Stevens loved his work. He took pride in the country he served, and he saw dignity in the people that he met. What does that phrase “the country he served” mean?

Let's see. The United States suffered a deadly terrorist attack on the anniversary of 9/11, in which a sitting US Ambassador was murdered. Elsewhere, black Islamist flags were hoisted over four American embassies, following security breaches. The Obama administration lied about the cause and nature of the attack in Benghazi, misled the public about threats leading up to the massacre, and attempted to gloss over the outrageously lax security at the diplomatic outpost prior to the raid. They've dissembled and ducked tough questions, instructing journalists to stop asking about details of the massacre,

The Race: Obama now can

For the first time in his presidency, Barack Obama can call himself a job creator. There are now more U.S. jobs than when he took office. Not by much, but they've moved out of negative territory, according to a Labor Department revision. It probably won't help Obama much in his race for re-election. The economy is still a long way from firing on all cylinders. But the revision - showing employers added 386,000 more jobs than had previously been estimated in the 12 months ended in March - was clearly good news for the White House

So Michigan Secretary of State Ruth Johnson added a yes/no question on ballot applications that asks: "Are you a United States citizen?" According to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Michigan, this simple requirement is "an election day disaster in the making." So the ACLU did what it usually does, which is to sue.

A poll released this week by the National Association of Manufacturers and the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) shows that a majority of small business owners and manufacturers think the U.S. business environment is getting progressively worse. The national survey, conducted between Aug. 13 and Sept. 4, interviewed 800 small business owners and manufacturers and found that 69 percent of them think President Barack Obama’s policies have hurt American businesses and manufacturers, and 55 percent would not start a business today given the current environment. “That’s something I think for us is not only alarming but really disappointing,

What do CNN, The Wall Street Journal, Bibi Netanyahu, a Lebanese website, and Mitt Romney all have in common? They told some truths inconvenient for President Barack Obama. They are now enemies of hope, enemies of change. They are a big pain in the rear for the man who "leads from the rear" by leading with his rear. President Obama thinks critics and foes need not only to be defeated, but to be crushed and shamed in the public square. Obama and his team said CNN's reports on terror in Libya were "disgusting" and "indefensible,"

It's become fashionable in certain center-right circles to argue that small-government conservatism has gained too much power. Tea Party economics, the grievance goes, would seismically shift our social contract and cast everyone onto the choppy waves of the free market. It is, therefore, little better than radicalism. David Frum usually leads this argument and, judging by his writings, you'd think he was practically alone, heroically steering his starship through a Delta Quadrant teeming with Tea Party marauders. If Frum is the captain, then New York Times columnist David Brooks is his number one. Brooks wrote a piece back in 2007

On May 7th, it was revealed that the Obama administration spent $8.35 billion on a “demonstration project” designed to postpone the vast majority of Obamacare’s Medicare Advantage cuts until after the election. On July 31st, it was revealed that the Labor Department warned defense contractors against notifying workers of impending layoffs before the election as well, despite the fact that it would require violating the law to do so. On September 21, it was revealed that a report on the Greek bailout will also be postponed until after the U.S. election.

THROW THE FLAG ON: President Barack Obama. CALL: Offside. WHAT HAPPENED: In an ad this week, the president touted "the $1 trillion in spending we’ve already cut." The two-minute ad has Obama posing the question : "So what’s my plan?" He describes four parts. "Fourth," he says, "a balanced plan to reduce our deficit by $4 trillion over the next decade. On top of the $1 trillion in spending we’ve already cut, I’d ask the wealthy to pay a little more. And as we end the war in Afghanistan, let’s apply half the savings to pay down our debt

Mitt Romney’s 47 percent are “dependent…victims” remarks to donors and Barack Obama’s I “believe in redistribution” speech as an Illinois state senator nicely frame one of the important debates of this presidential election. Under the surface of the arguments over big and small government, government spending and the deficit, and the future of entitlements and taxes lies a crucial difference between the presidential candidates on social policy: Romney believes in equality of opportunity while Obama seeks equality of outcome. Equality of opportunity has historically been the distinctive American way. When the French journalist Alexis de Toqueville

West's column, "The Anti-Blasphemy, Anti-First-Amendment President," highlighted this extraordinary Obama sentence: "The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam."
