Egyptian Christians Shot and Beheaded By Egyptian Muslim
Here In US
Ever since the
extremist organization, the Muslim Brotherhood, took control of Egypt, the
country’s Christians have been beaten, robbed, raped, tortured, burned and
murdered. Incidentally, President Barack Obama continues to bow to Egypt’s
President Mohamed Morsi and give him billions of dollars along with US fighter
jets. Morsi has publicly stated that everyone in Egypt will either convert to
Islam, pay an exorbitant tax for being a non-Muslim or will leave the
country. It seems paying the tax
is not an option for the nation’s Coptic Christians. They are being
driven out of the country or killed.
Now, one has to
wonder if that same radicalism is also being played out here in the US. It
all started with Hany Tawadros, 25 and Amgad Konds, 27, immigrating to the US
from their home in Egypt. The two men are Coptic Christians who came to
the US, got jobs and started sending money back home to their families.
Besides being friends and roommates, they worshipped at the same Coptic
Christian Church in Jersey City, New Jersey. For reasons as yet unknown, the
two men were in their car with an acquaintance, Yusuf Ibrahim, a 27 year old
Muslim. According to police,
Ibrahim shot the two Christians in the chest, killing them both. Then he
drove their bodies to rural area near Buena Vista Township. There he
severed the heads and hands of the two men and buried them in separate shallow
graves on a property belonging to a relative.
Someone reported something suspicious at a house in Buena Vista Township.
Police responded with cadaver dogs who located the shallow graves where they
found the bodies, heads and hands, all in separate graves. I have
to ask why no one is offering any reason for the murder and mutilation of two
Egyptian Coptic Christians by an Egyptian Muslim? So do
they honestly not know the reason behind the killings or is the liberal media
hiding the fact that the Obama endorsed persecution of Egypt’s Christians has
now moved to our own shores? Is it just coincidence that a member of one
religion, which has vowed to destroy the other religion took the lives of two
men from that other religion? If it is a case of religious
persecution, will the American people ever hear the true story or will our
Muslim president cover it up like he did the facts surrounding the shooting at
Sandy Hook Elementary School? These are all questions that need to be asked, yet I
doubt if we’ll ever know the real story. All we know for now is that an
Egyptian Muslim murdered and then hacked the bodies of two Egyptian Coptic
Christians. Do we really need to say anymore?

Disturbing Pattern! Yet Another Military General Forced
from Service
It’s a developing
pattern of this Obama White House. Barack Obama cashiered yet another
battle-seasoned American general Tuesday, even as the war in Afghanistan
continues along with numerous other serious global threats to United States
security. This is the fourth senior officer Obama has forced from the country’s service. All four were tied
somehow to the Afghanistan mess that Obama has long argued was the most
important war. Each departure was staged
as a resignation. They were usually tied to some personal
indiscretions to save face for Obama, who would know of indiscretions as a
product of the corrupt Chicago Democrat machine.

Columbine Survivor Pens Bold Open Letter to Obama
Rejecting Gun Control: ‘Whose Side Are You On?’ Billy Hallowell
Columbine survivor
Evan Todd released an open letter to President Barack Obama on Wednesday in
which he offers a point-by-point analysis of proposed firearms control
initiatives, dismissing them as ineffective and dangerous to Americans’ rights.
He recently outlined why he fervently disagrees with the gun control
policies that have been proposed in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary
School shooting.
Interviewed earlier this week and Todd subsequently detailed
how his experience being shot back in 1999 has shaped his views on the issue.
The letter, which speaks directly to the president, covers a number of key
facets in the gun control debate. On universal background checks, Todd expresses his fears that “universal
registration can easily be used for universal confiscation.” Additionally,
he says his belief that assault weapons
bans are ineffective and argues that the first law did little to stop violence
when it was in effect from 1994 until 2004; he cites Columbine as a prime
example. “It was during this time that I
personally witnessed two fellow students murder twelve of my classmates and one
teacher,” he writes. “The assault weapons ban did not deter these two
murderers, nor did the other thirty-something laws that they broke.” Of particular note in the letter is the survivor’s
insistence that Obama’s proposed regulations impede the rights of Americans and
endanger them by capping magazine sizes and restricting the types of guns that
are available to law-abiding citizens.

Having Added Record $5.9T to Debt, Obama Claims He’s Cut
Deficit $2.5T By Terence P. Jeffrey
President Barack Obama claimed today that since he has
been president both parties have worked together to cut the federal deficit by
$2.5 trillion—despite the fact that the national debt has increased $5.9
trillion during Obama’s presidency, which is more than it increased under all
presidents from George Washington through Bill Clinton combined.
“Over the last few years both parties have worked together to reduce our
deficits by more than $2.5 trillion,” Obama said in a speech at the White House
in which he called on Congress to avoid modest automatic cuts in anticipated
spending that are set to begin on March 1. More lies and deception by our President.

Pentagon informs Congress of plans to furlough 800K
civilian workers
The Pentagon
notified Congress on Wednesday it will be furloughing its civilian workforce of
800,000 employees if sequestration goes into effect March 1. Defense officials
have warned lawmakers that sequestration will devastate the military and lead
to a hollow force, but the civilian furloughs will be one of the first major
impacts felt by the across-the-board cuts. The Pentagon furloughs will affect
civilians across the country. Pentagon
officials have said that civilians could face up to 22 days of furloughs, one
per week, through the end of the fiscal year in September. The employees would
receive 30 days’ notice before being furloughed.

Coal: the cleanest energy source there is?
Researchers have discovered a stunning new process that
takes the energy from coal without burning it — and removes virtually all of
the pollution. The clean coal technique was developed by
scientists at The Ohio State University, with just $5 million in funding from
the federal government, and took 15 years to achieve. “We’ve been working on this for more than a decade,” Liang-Shih Fan, a
chemical engineer and director of OSU’s Clean Coal Research Laboratory, told
FoxNews.com, calling it a new energy conversion process. “We found a way to release the heat from
coal without burning.” The process
removes 99 percent of the pollution from coal, which some scientists link to
global warming. Coal-burning power plants produced about one-third of the
nation’s carbon dioxide total in 2010, or about 2.3 billion metric tons,
according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

With Election Over, Obama Announces Medicare Cuts to Fund
ObamaCare
During the 2012
election campaign, Democrats denied that ObamaCare made $716 billion in cuts to
Medicare in order to provide funding toward $1.9 trillion in new entitlement
spending over the next ten years.
In an announcement on Friday, however, the Obama
administration revealed that it would be significantly reducing funding for
Medicare, a move that one health insurance analyst said “would turn almost
every plan in the industry unprofitable.” Health
insurance stocks tumbled following the announcement that a big chunk of the Medicare cuts would come from the popular Medicare
Advantage program, a market-oriented system in which participants can
choose coverage by a private company that contracts with Medicare to provide
all Part A and Part B benefits. According to health care analyst Carl McDonald,
the new rates proposed by the Obama administration will have the net effect of
reducing payments to Medicare Advantage plans by seven to eight percent in
2014. McDonald projects:
"If implemented, these rates and the program changes
CMS [Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services] is suggesting would be
enormously disruptive to Medicare Advantage, likely forcing a number of smaller
plans out of the business and creating disarray for many seniors." Yes folks, we are
now finishing reading the plan!!

Sequestration: What is it, Really? by Marilyn Assenheim
A look at today’s
headlines is, at best, to embark on an excursion to the twilight zone. Perhaps
it is more like an enforced, bad LSD trip. Leading all the rest (and there are
a legion of stories) seems
to be the Lyin’ King’s version of sequestration.
This lunatic ride we have all found ourselves prisoner on, is a lulu. Our
Dear Leader has been lying so blatantly about just this one issue that, had
he suffered Pinocchio’s curse, his schnozola would have rivaled the length of
Great Wall of China. “Teachers will be laid off.” You know, all of the
federally hired teachers. “Firefighters and EMT personnel will be laid off.”
Certainly; all of the federally employed firefighters and emergency personnel. The narrative claims an obstructionist
Right will once again have impeded the president’s tireless work on the budget.
The work he was, apparently, beavering away at while on his second vacation
since January, 2013…separate from his wife’s vacation. In the company of his
authentic faithful companion, Reggie Love.
As if this wasn’t enough
doublethink to have shoved down one’s throat, the president claims to be
fighting demon sequestration tooth and nail. Reality alert: Sequestration is,
lock, stock and barrel, the president’s plan. Sequestration is,
exclusively, the president’s brainchild. The president’s and no one else’s.
Just check speeches the president made in 2011; the country would be ruined
without sequestration. Absolutely. He said so. Sequestration was never the
Republican Party’s idea, even though beltway Republicans are drooling to do the
president’s bidding. With the exception of Senator Rand Paul. Senator Paul,
correctly pointed out that sequestration, means a reduction in growth, not cuts
to existing spending. A complicit, mainstream media will never allow that fact
to be made public by them. Congressman Boehner, too, wants to throw
sequestration back in the president’s lap. Unfortunately, typically, Speaker
Boehner takes a good concept (albeit late) then fouls it up. Yes, he admits
that sequestration is entirely the president’s invention. Yes, Mr. Boehner states that the president “broke” the economy and
should be the one to fix it, but he is still gluing himself to the president’s
false premise; Boehner proceeds as if sequestration deals with cuts to existing
spending rather than reduction in spending increases. Some people never learn.

DeMint: Obama ‘has
lost contact with reality’
Republicans should
let the sequester proceed if President Obama won’t let the defense cuts be
eased, and Obama is simply out of touch with reality on fiscal matters,
according to former U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint, S.C.
DeMint resigned his seat in January as he prepares to become the new
president of the Heritage Foundation. In a wide-ranging interview, DeMint
addressed looming debates on guns and immigration, but he’s also passionate
about how the current sequestration fight plays out. House GOP members have
responsibly approved changes in sequestration so the cuts won’t land so hard on
national security spending, and the ball is now in Obama’s court. “If we
can’t get the president to come off the military cuts, we need to leave these
cuts in place,” DeMint said. “In most cases, it’s not really cuts. It’s just a
slowing of the growth of spending which has been out of control for years. I
would encourage Republicans, if the president’s not going to be reasonable
about restoring military funding and allowing these other programs to actually
be reduced, then they’re just going to have to swallow it. It’s a small percent
of our total budget and, frankly, we’re going to have to do a lot more of these
cuts if we’re going to balance the budget within 10 years.”

"In
a despotic government, the only principle by which the tyrant who is to move
the whole machine means to regulate and manage the people is fear, by the
servile dread of his power. But a free government, which of all others is far
the most preferable, cannot be supported without virtue."

Boom: “The Obama Sequester”
The Republican
National Committee has President Obama dead to rights on his breathtaking
hypocrisy and demagoguery regarding the impending automatic “sequestration”
cuts that he’s now trying to attribute to the GOP. This video doesn’t break any
new ground on substance, but its stark juxtaposition of Obama’s 2011 veto
threat and this week’s attempt at blame shift is absolutely damning: Watch
