| Last night´s installment of The History Channel´s The Bible featured a Moroccan actor who bears a passing resemblance to President Barack Obama, or so some online outlets insist. The production´s executive producers, Mark Burnett and Roma Downey, quickly answered those who thought the casting of actor Mehdi Ouazzani was meant to slight the president. They released this statement today to refute those charges and defend their product. “HISTORY channel has the highest respect for President Obama. The series was produced with an international and diverse cast of respected actors. It´s unfortunate that anyone made this false connection.

Satan, though we don´t know his name prior to his rebellion, is described in the Bible as being the most beautiful angel created by God. He is also adorned in a beautiful robe full of previous stones of all kinds. He also has a beautiful voice and is described as disguising himself as an angel of light. Hardly what one sees depicted in artwork for centuries.

The critics must be trying to say "all blacks look alike" There is a striking resemblance but truly doubt that anyone would actually attempt to work to film the connection between the two. Not when most are fearful to even speak up to Junior to defy him.

While legislative battles over gun control and government spending have dominated much of the president’s agenda this year, President Obama heads to Austin, Texas, today to bring attention to job creation and manufacturing. While in Texas, the president will announce two new executive orders during his first of a series of “Middle Class Jobs & Opportunity Tours.” The executive actions are a fulfillment of promises made in the president’s State of the Union address this year to strengthen manufacturing. The first executive order will launch competitions for three Manufacturing Innovation Institutes, partnerships focused on developing manufacturing technologies,

ROME —Secretary of State John Kerry said Thursday the transfer of advanced missile defense systems from Russia to Syria would be a "destabilizing" factor for Israel´s security. Kerry said the U.S. has expressed concerns about what such defensive systems in Syria would mean for Israel´s security. He wouldn´t address what the missiles might mean for Syria´s civil war. He spoke to reporters in Rome after the Wall Street Journal reported that Russia was preparing to sell the weapons to President Bashar Assad´s regime.

The presidential aircraft is scheduled to land shortly after noon at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, itself a symbol of Austin´s economic resilience, having long served as an Air Force base before it was closed in the 1990s under a round of federal base closures.

House Speaker John Boehner is demanding that the White House release a series of unclassified emails related to the Sept. 11 fatal terrorist attacks on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya. Boehner is seeking emails Republican lawmakers say were sent the day after the attack from a senior state department official to her superiors in which she reported that she told the Libyan ambassador that Islamic terrorists were responsible for the attack. “The State Department would not allow our committees to keep copies of this email when it was reviewed,” Boehner said.

Politico deceptively edited its lead story from Tuesday, “Immigration´s new ally: Tea partiers” that originally erroneously argued the Tea Party was an “ally” of the “Gang of Eight” immigration bill. The changes came after Breitbart News caught the site red-handed in a number of factual errors. Politico made several substantive changes to its piece and the only notification it gave to readers of those corrections was an updated time stamp next to the authors’ bylines.

He will talk about job training and economic opportunity, but he may have a political opportunity on his mind as well. Obama lost Texas by more than 1 million votes last year. But Democrats believe their fortunes in the Lone Star State may soon change, thanks to demographics and a new organizational push. New numbers released by the Census Bureau on Wednesday highlight the rising political power of Latinos in the United States. In the 2012 presidential election, 1.4 million more Latinos voted

Republican lawmakers, who have spent months seeking to tie President Obama to last year’s deadly attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, are increasingly focusing their probe on a new target: former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton. The GOP-led investigation of the Sept. 11, 2012, assaults that killed U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three others now centers heavily on the State Department and whether officials there deliberately misled the public about the nature of the assault. Three State Department officials are scheduled to testify before a House committee on Wednesday about the Benghazi attack and its aftermath.

Former Gov. Mark Sanford completed the trail to political redemption Tuesday with a win over Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch to reclaim his old seat in Congress. Sanford defeated Colbert Busch 54 percent to 45 percent, according to full unofficial results. Turnout was heavier than expected, with about 32 percent of the district’s 455,702 registered voters casting ballots. Sanford, who has never lost an election, returns to the 1st District seat he held for three terms from 1995-2001.

The White House on Wednesday stood by its story that the Obama administration remained unsure exactly who was responsible for the attack on the U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi nearly five days after it occurred even though new revelations show Ansar al-Sharia’s direct involvement. Gregory Hicks, the deputy chief of mission at the U.S. Embassy in Libya and a self-described whistleblower, testified before a Congressional committee Wednesday that the body of Ambassador J. Christpher Stevens was missing for hours during the attack after being dragged out of the diplomatic post in Benghazi.

There was tragic incompetence, plainly, in the Obama administration’s handling of the Benghazi attacks, and even possibly some political calculation. It is a record that may well come to haunt Hillary Clinton, the first Secretary of State to lose an ambassador in the field in more than three decades, if she runs for president in 2016. But the obvious Republican effort to turn this inquiry into the Democratic (Obama) version of the Iraq intelligence scandal that has tarred the GOP since the George W.

The University of Cambridge released a statement Wednesday indicating that Hawking had told the Israelis last week that he would not be attending "based on advice from Palestinian academics that he should respect the boycott." University officials said they had "previously understood" that Hawking´s decision was based solely on health concerns — he is 71 and has severe disabilities — but had now been told otherwise by Hawking´s office.
