Mr. Obama's Middle East Policy: "Praise Islam, ignore Christians, blame Jews." After watching all the pomp and circumstance of the presidential inauguration of January 20, 2009, I remember turning to my husband Steve and saying: “The sole mission of Barack Obama and his henchmen is to destroy Israel.” Steve reminded me that there was a mountain of domestic issues awaiting the new, far-left regime, and I agreed. And sure enough, Mr. Obama and his minions proceeded to wreak havoc on job creation and on the American military, inflict strangulating regulations, amass crushing national debt, foist horrific healthcare and education systems...

How can Israel do that when the Palestinian Authority and Hamas teach children to hate and kill Israeli Jews?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51U_EBDggkQ   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzWjSpka6gA   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-kOwFA8xZ4&t=3s  

Palestine must be Judenrein – cleansed of Jew One of the false mantras of the so-called Palestinian leadership and their BDS supporters is that they are being ethnically cleansed by the brutal Zionist occupiers. This despite the fact that the Arab population is increasing by leaps and bounds and thanks to Israel their health and medical care has improved greatly. So where is the ethnic cleansing? It is against Jews by the Palestinian leadership supported by the BDS activists and now with the help of the United Nations.

And they're going to give it to Trump once he takes office In case you’re wondering why this would matter, consider the difference between passively taking no action to stop something another party initiated, versus pushing it behind the scenes and having others sponsor it on your behalf, then sitting back and pretending you had nothing to do with it. The former is a shameful dereliction of your role as defender of freedom and democracy, but the latter is far worse. The latter means you actively worked to undermine your ally on behalf of its terrorist tormenters, all while insisting...

The latest media person to fail to think and count to ten before hitting the "Tweet" button is Matthew Dowd. Once a Democrat, Dowd came over to the Republican Party in 1999, and was George W. Bush's chief campaign strategist during the 2004 campaign. He became an independent in 2008 and is currently a Chief Political Analyst at ABC News. He also claims to be Catholic, but clearly has a politically twisted understanding of the first Christmas.

UNSC resolution was the removal of all Israeli claims to the most holy Jewish sites placing them at the feet of the Palestinians The UNSC vote was not about “settlements.” It was an Arab subterfuge, a trap into which the United States, the UK, New Zealand and other naïve or cynical diplomats took an active role. It was all smoke and mirrors, a con trick holding up the settlement issue to dazzle the voters while the real intent was to disown Israel of territories to which they have genuine claim and turn them into “illegally occupied Palestinian territory.”

The UN resolution could subject settlers and Israel officials to criminal sanctions, while creating pretexts for more terrorist attacks Everyone has heard by now that Obama “threw Israel under the bus” or whatever expression you want to use, by refusing to veto Friday’s UN resolution condemning settlements in the West Bank and other territories captured from the Palestinians. Indeed he did, but it’s worse than that. This is not a mere resolution of condemnation. This is a theoretically enforceable piece of international law that the UN has been trying to pass for decades, always coming up short because of the...

A far more significant chant is the one in patriot hearts that goes: “Obama’s not our president—NOT ANY MORE!” The Palestinians are celebrating the 2016 Chanukah resurrection of Yasser Arafat. Outgoing President Barack Obama is the new Yasser Arafat, whose followers don’t seem able to reason that a corpse, dead or alive, is a corpse. That dead men, no matter how powerful they once were in life, can come dancing out of their graves to be resurrected in a president whose time is all but up, crowns with rhinestones the “Fake News” Trend of 2016.

We were delighted with the "surprising" election outcome this year and look forward to a reawakened America under President Trump. He -- and the rest of us -- have an Augean stable to muck out. We hope for a revitalized and far better America than we have seen for the past eight years and for a better world for all, with no more disgraces of this sort: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crEicBxcfwA&t=0s Desire for a "two state solution" does not mean that there would be one state for the Jews and another for the Palestinians, living separately but in peace and harmony. Palestinian hatred...

From Coach Collins, on December 25th In this time of worry about the future of our nation let us pause to remember the gift God gave us on the first Christmas morning. Here is the story of Christ’s birth as told to us by St. Luke @2: 1-20) 1 In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled. 2 This was the first enrollment, when Quirin’i-us was governor of Syria. 3 And all went to be enrolled, each to his own city. 4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the...

Morocco-born French-Jewish scholar Georges Bensoussan has been ordered to appear before a Paris court to answer criminal charges levied against him by the Collective Against Islamophobia in France. The allegation is that Bensoussan's writings on the history of anti-Semitism in lands governed by Muslims "incites racial hatred." CAIF spokesman Massakir Heebes declared that "the attempt to promulgate anti-Muslim hatred under the guise of scholarship must not be permitted. The contention that the mistreatment of Jews depicted by Bensoussan is a historical fact is irrelevant. The Quran commands the oppression of unbelievers who pay the jizya and the slaying of those...

(Why are feminists attracted to a culture which advocates the rape and mutilation of females? Why are homosexuals enamored of a “religion” which demands their torture and death? Author Jerry Schmitt offers the answer in his December 22nd American Thinker article.) By Jerry Schmitt Many of us have long puzzled over the close political affinity between Pelosi-Democrats, radical feminists, racial activists, LGBT transgendered language / bathroom extremists, PC grievance-study academics, etc. and their apparent polar opposites, namely, misogynist, bloodthirsty, Islamic religious fanatics practicing honor-killings of gays and women while causing death and mayhem with repeated terror attacks upon western multicultural...

Bottom line: The disastrous and politically stupid Obama is the gift to the GOP that just keeps on giving and giving for years to come In my book, (written and published before the election), “Trump: How He Captured The Trump White House,” I write at length how Obama will be considered one of the most over-rated and politically incompetent presidents since World War II. Obama’s most recent UN blunder just further destroyed Obama’s political reputation. This past week Obama had his lackey UN Ambassador Power in effect support a one-sided resolution of the United Nation’s Security Council condemning Israel for...

Lifelong Liberal Switches Sides After Trump Win

This article was originally posted in December of 2011 on the Coach is Right website. It remains as true today as it was then. This year those of us who cherish the phrase “Merry Christmas” have started to say “Merry Christ-mas” to reinsert the name Christ into the greeting. Here’s a reminder of how we started to lose “Merry Christmas” 40 years ago. On the day before Christmas in 1971, the New York Times ran an article about a new “holiday” called Kwanzaa that was invented by an America-hating, Black separatist named Ron Everett. Everett now uses the made up...

“And the Government Shall Be upon His Shoulder” (Isaiah 9:2-7) About 26 days from now, we’re going to have a change in our government. A new president will take the oath of office, and a new administration will take over. For some people this will be a welcome change; for others, it will mean weeping and gnashing of teeth. But in any case, there will be a new president, and the weight of the White House will rest upon his shoulders. Well, I’m here to tell you today, the most important change in administrations has already taken place, and it...

“Isaiah Foretold It, Jesus Fulfilled It” (Isaiah 7:10-17)In the hymn we just sang, “Lo, How a Rose E’er Blooming,” there’s this line, “Isaiah ’twas foretold it.” And yes, it was Isaiah who did foretell it. But what was it that Isaiah foretold? Isaiah prophesied the birth of Jesus Christ. The gospel writer Matthew tells us as much, that this is the fulfillment of Isaiah’s prophecy. He writes: “All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: ‘Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel’ (which means, God...

President Obama delivered his coup de grace in an act of spite against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The United Nations Security Council voted Friday to approve a resolution demanding that “Israel immediately and completely cease all settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem.” It declared that the establishment of settlements by Israel has “no legal validity and constitutes a flagrant violation under international law.” The Obama administration abstained, allowing the resolution to pass. All other members of the Security Council, including the United Kingdom and France, voted for it.

Last Monday's assault by semi-truck that killed a dozen Christmas shoppers at an outdoor market in Berlin has inspired European governments to swoop into action. In Germany, the Merkel regime is desperately denying that the country's open-borders policy toward Islamic immigration, including a conscious policy of converting many refugees into truck drivers by easing licensing requirements, might be an enabling factor in the spate of social outrages, rising crime rate, and now mass murder by lone wolf jihadi Anus Amri at the Berlin market. Chancellor Angela Merkel attributed the offenses committed by Muslim refugees to "widespread Islamophobia among Germans unused...

The Prime Minister of Israel Bibi Netanyahu posted a special message for Christians around the world today, wishing them a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
