Obama Executive Order to Cut U.S. Nuclear Capabilities?
Obama to Announce Major US Nuclear Force Cuts…by Executive Action?
President Barack Obama is set to announce a new round of strategic nuclear warhead reductions in the near future as part of a disarmament agenda that could reduce U.S. strategic warheads to as few as 1,000 weapons.
The next round of U.S.-Russian arms talks would follow Obama’s expected announcement that the United States’ arsenal of strategic warheads can be reduced unilaterally to around 1,000 warheads. That position is expected as part of the Pentagon’s long-delayed Nuclear Posture Review implementation study that Obama was expected to sign earlier this year.
Recent press reports have indicated that President Obama may make the cuts — fully one-third of the nation’s arsenal — by executive action and without Congressional authorization.

Babies Clones, and Destroyed, for Science
Scientists Clone and Kill Human Embryos for Dubious Research
Scientists in Oregon announced today that they had created cloned human embryos, and then destroyed the embryos to extract embryonic stem cells.
The cloning technique is essentially the same one used to create Dolly the cloned sheep, with some modifications to make cloning work using human eggs and human cells. This is the first claim of growing human embryonic stem cells from cloned human embryos since the fraudulent claims in 2004 and 2005 of Korean scientist Hwang Woo-Suk. The report, published online in the journal Cell, also highlights the fact that women are a target for raw materials for the cloning technique, since “premium quality” eggs are required to make their human cloning technique work.
It’s a grave concern that some scientists are still pursuing human cloning, a technology that will open the door to human engineering and a brave – but highly dangerous – new world. Human cloning by this technique requires the specific creation of a new individual, albeit cloned, at the embryo stage, using human eggs and human tissue cells.
Modern science has passed this by, especially in regards to stem cells. Creating and destroying cloned human embryos to extract their embryonic stem cells is unethical, and the entire faulty concept of using the cloning technique has been superseded by uncontroversial techniques.

Islam's True Colors: Rape Gang - Police and Social Workers Apologize to Victims
POLICE REFUSED TO HALT MUSLIM RAPE GANG: POLICE AND SOCIAL WORKERS APOLOGISE TO GIRLS TORTURED BY 'MEDIEVAL' SAVAGE PREDATORS, BUT CHIEF CONSTABLE REFUSES TO RESIGN
Catastrophic failings by police and social services allowed a Muslim child sex trafficking ring to sexually torture girls as young as 11 for eight years, all because law enforcement didn't want to offend Muslim sensibilities, or worse, be accused of racist-islamophobic-bigotry.
"Victims repeatedly told officers they had been raped or abused by the vicious and ‘medieval’ predators – but no action was taken." They used knives, cleavers and baseball bats to inflict severe pain on the girls for their twisted pleasure.
Missed chances to halt sex gang: Police and social workers apologise to girls tortured by 'medieval' predators but chief constable refuses to resign Daily Mail
Fighting broke out in the dock as two other defendants were cleared
Seven men found guilty of catalogue of offences involving underage girls
Verdicts delivered at Old Bailey at the end of a five month trial
The seven men have been remanded in custody for sentencing next month
Girls were so young 'they had just stopped believing in the Easter bunny when they were corrupted'
Police identified as many as 22 girls who were 'groomed, corrupted, brainwashed and abused and then sold for sex and worse'
Two of the three care homes where victims of the Oxford sex ring lived have been closed down but only one member of staff was sacked
Sara Thornton, who has been chief constable of Thames Valley Police since 2007, rejects suggestions she should resign

IRS Official: From TEA Party Targeting to Running Obamacare
IRS Official in Charge During Tea Party Targeting Now Runs Health Care Office
The Internal Revenue Service official in charge of the tax-exempt organizations at the time when the unit targeted tea party groups now runs the IRS office responsible for the health care legislation.
Sarah Hall Ingram served as commissioner of the office responsible for tax-exempt organizations between 2009 and 2012. But Ingram has since left that part of the IRS and is now the director of the IRS’ Affordable Care Act office, the IRS confirmed to ABC News today.
-----
If this person can't be trusted to not go after anyone that dares oppose her, how is it going to work with her in charge of Obamacare?

Sheila Jackson Lee Tries To Stop Darrell Issa from Questioning Holder
JACKSON LEE TRIES TO STOP ISSA QUESTIONING HOLDER (click link to see video)
During the House Judiciary committee hearing on Wednesday, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee held up procedures to complain about a recording being played as part of evidence. Lee asked if the recording had been authenticated and then asked if Attorney General Eric Holder, who was the only witness during the hearing, was given notice of the recording before it played. After multiple attempts to shut down Congressman Issa's questioning, Lee was ruled out of order.

Immigration: Department of Home Security Coming to Conclusion Conservatives Have Known All Along
DHS confirms cheaper to deport every illegal alien than allowing them to stay
On December 3, Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary for Legislative Affairs, Nelson Peacock, responding to request from several U.S. Senators, including Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), wrote: “Our conservative estimate suggests that ICE would require a budget of more than $135 billion to apprehend, detain and remove the nation’s entire illegal immigrant population.”
In July 2010, the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) released the results of a study which examined the costs of illegal immigration at the federal, state and local levels. The study found that U.S. state and local governments shell out $84.2 billion annually in various services (law enforcement, schools, social services, etc.), with California taxpayers alone, spending $21 billion on illegal aliens every year.
The same study found that $29 billion is spent every year in federal funds on illegal aliens.

Obama's Scandals Pile Up
There are just too many to write about, but here are the headlines:
For Those Shocked By The Obama Scandals – Remember When Valerie Jarrett Said THIS…
Gov't probe obtains wide swath of AP phone records
The Justice Department secretly obtained two months of telephone records of reporters and editors for The Associated Press in what the news cooperative's top executive called a "massive and unprecedented intrusion" into how news organizations gather the news.
The records obtained by the Justice Department listed outgoing calls for the work and personal phone numbers of individual reporters, for general AP office numbers in New York, Washington and Hartford, Conn., and for the main number for the AP in the House of Representatives press gallery, according to attorneys for the AP. It was not clear if the records also included incoming calls or the duration of the calls.
In all, the government seized the records for more than 20 separate telephone lines assigned to AP and its journalists in April and May of 2012. The exact number of journalists who used the phone lines during that period is unknown, but more than a hundred journalists work in the offices where phone records were targeted, on a wide array of stories about government and other matters.
President Obama found himself in the unusual position on Monday of echoing GOP outrage over revelations that the Internal Revenue Service targeted Tea Party groups, while slamming his adversaries for creating “a sideshow” for reviving a long simmering imbroglio over his administration’s response to last year’s attack on a U.S. diplomatic post in Libya.
By the end of the day on Monday, the administration found itself battling yet another potential crisis as lawyers for the Associated Press charged that the Justice Department secretly obtained two months of telephone records of reporters and editors for the AP in what the news agency called a “massive and unprecedented intrusion” into how news organizations gather the news.
Holder Begs Court To Prevent Public From Seeing Obama’s “Executive Privilege” Records Relating To “Fast And Furious”...
CIA Agents Confirm Obama Told Them Not To Aid Ambassador Chris Stevens
BREAKING: ABC SAYS WHITE HOUSE AUTHORIZED IRS-GATE POLITICAL ENEMY SCANDAL
The Benghazi lies/scandal should alone be enough to initiate significant pressure on Congress to deal with Obama via their constitutional process of impeachment. The IRS scandal, however, should seal the deal. Especially if the following is true.
Trey Hardin: “I will tell you this on the IRS front. I’ve worked in this town for over 20 years in the White House and on Capitol Hill and I can say with a very strong sense of certainty that there are people very close to this president that not only knew what the IRS were doing but authorized it. It simply just does not happen at an agency level like that without political advisers likely in the West Wing certainly connected to the president’s ongoing campaign organization.”
Hardin didn’t say it was the President specifically, but if this is the office of the President directly involved in the IRS political enemy scandal then we have serious problems that need serious punishment.
IRS official Lerner speedily approved exemption for Obama brother’s ‘charity’
Lois Lerner, the senior IRS official at the center of the decision to target tea party groups for burdensome tax scrutiny, signed paperwork granting tax-exempt status to the Barack H. Obama Foundation, a shady charity headed by the president’s half-brother that operated illegally for years.
According to the organization’s filings, Lerner approved the foundation’s tax status within a month of filing, an unprecedented timeline that stands in stark contrast to conservative organizations that have been waiting for more than three years, in some cases, for approval.
Lerner also appears to have broken with the norms of tax-exemption approval by granting retroactive tax-exempt status to Malik Obama’s organization.
IRS Won’t Say If It Will Comply With Congressional Demand for All Communications and Names Involved in Discriminating Against Tea Party Groups
The Internal Revenue Service has given no indication to the House Ways and Means Committee about whether it will respond to the committee’s demand, delivered in writing last Friday, that the agency hand over copies of all internal communications containing the words “tea party,” “patriot,” or “conservative” and the names and titles of all IRS officials involved in discriminating against tea party and conservative groups when they submitted applications for tax-exempt status.
IRS spokesmen also did not respond to repeated emailed and telephone inquiries that CNSNews.com made between Friday afternoon and Tuesday morning asking if the IRS intended to comply with the committee’s demand--and if not, why not.

The progressive-leaning investigative journalism group ProPublica says the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) office that targeted and harassed conservative tax-exempt groups during the 2012 election cycle gave the progressive group nine confidential applications of conservative groups whose tax-exempt status was pending.

Holder Begs Court To Prevent Public From Seeing Obama’s “Executive Privilege” Records Relating To “Fast And Furious”...
Attorney General Eric Holder and his Department of Justice have asked a federal court to indefinitely delay a lawsuit brought by watchdog group Judicial Watch. The lawsuit seeks the enforcement of open records requests relating to Operation Fast and Furious, as required by law.
Judicial Watch had filed, on June 22, 2012, a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request seeking all documents relating to Operation Fast and Furious and “specifically [a]ll records subject to the claim of executive privilege invoked by President Barack Obama on or about June 20, 2012.”
The administration has refused to comply with Judicial Watch’s FOIA request, and in mid-September the group filed a lawsuit challenging Holder’s denial. That lawsuit remains ongoing but within the past week President Barack Obama’s administration filed what’s called a “motion to stay” the suit. Such a motion is something that if granted would delay the lawsuit indefinitely.

Janice Hahn, Democrat, California - Obamacare will result in "a lot less bad marriages."
Stupidity roams freely through the Democrat Party, but sometimes that idiocy is so severe, I have to stop and say something about it.
In this case, Janice Hahn, a democrat that serves in the United States House of Representatives for a district on the southern end of Los Angeles, said the following in regards to the importance of the Affordable Care Act:
"I had a friend who got married to the wrong person just so she could have health insurance. So, we'll also have a lot of less bad marriages as a result of this."
You know, I said I need to say something about this, but Janice Hahn's statement is so stupid, I am speechless.
Wait, okay, I have something. What Congresswoman Hahn said would be like saying, "I had a friend that crashed his car on the way to work, so more people on welfare will result in a lot less bad accidents on the roadway."
Well, that was a loss of a few minutes I will never get back.

Sebelius Illegally Hits Up Health Officials for Obamacare Financing
Before the election last year, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius got into a bit of a jam when she violated federal law by ‘accidentally’ endorsing President Obama’s reelection at an appearance in her official HHS capacity — and it sounds like she’s once again wading dangerously close to even more questionable territory, this time on behalf of their struggling ObamaCare-implementation efforts.

Obamacare to kill businesses like Hobby Lobby, Court History of Hobby Lobby Case
Hobby Lobby May Close
“The wisdom that comes from above is, first, pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to
reason, full of mercy and good fruits, without uncertainty or insincerity.” – James 3:17
By David Green, the founder and CEO of Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc.
When my family and I started our company 40 years ago, we were working out of a garage on a $600
bank loan, assembling miniature picture frames.. Our first retail store wasn’t much bigger than most people’s
living rooms, but we had faith that we would succeed if we lived and worked according to God’s word.
From there, Hobby Lobby has become one of the nation’s largest arts and crafts retailers, with more than 500
locations in 41 states.
Our children grew up into fine business leaders, and today we run Hobby Lobby together, as a family.
We’re Christians, and we run our business on Christian principles. I’ve always said that the first two goals of
our business are (1) to run our business in harmony with God’s laws, and (2) to focus on people more than money.
And that’s what we’ve tried to do.
We close early so our employees can see their families at night.
We keep our stores closed on Sundays, one of the week’s biggest shopping days, so that our workers and
their families can enjoy a day of rest.
We believe that it is by God’s grace that Hobby Lobby has endured, and he has blessed us and our employees.
We’ve not only added jobs in a weak economy, we’ve raised wages for the past four years in a row.
Our full-time employees startat 80% above minimum wage.
But now, our government threatens to change all of that. A new government healthcare mandate says that our family business MUST provide what I believe are abortion-causing drugs as part of our health insurance.
Being Christians, we don’t pay for drugs that might cause abortions, which means that we don’t cover emergency contraception, the morning-after pill or the week-after pill. We believe doing so might end a life after the moment of conception, something that is contrary to our most important beliefs. It goes against the Biblical principles on which
we have run this company since day one.
If we refuse to comply, we could face $1.3 million PER DAY in government fines.
Our government threatens to fine job creators in a bad economy. Our government threatens to fine a company that’s
raised wages four years running. Our government threatens to fine a family for running its business according to its
beliefs.
It’s not right. I know people will say we ought to follow the rules; that it’s the same for everybody.
But that’s not true.
The government has exempted thousands of companiesfrom this mandate, for reasons of convenience or cost. But it won’t
exempt them for reasons of religious belief.
So, Hobby Lobby and my family are forced to make a choice. With great reluctance, we filed a lawsuit today, represented by the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, asking a federal court to stop this mandate before it hurts our business. We don’t like
to go running into court,b ut we no longer have a choice. We believe people are more important than the bottom line and
that honoring God is more important than turning a profit.
My family has lived the American dream. We want to continue growing our company and providing great jobs for thousands of employees, but the government is going to make that much more difficult. The government is forcing us to choose between following our faith and following the law. I say that’s a choice no American and no American business should have to make.
The government cannot force you to follow laws that go against your fundamental religious belief.
They have exempted thousands of companies but will not except Christian organizations including the Catholic church.
Since you will not see this in the liberal media, please pass this on to all your contacts.
Sincerely,
David Green
CEO and Founder of Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc.
In March the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals granted Hobby Lobby’s petition for a full hearing on its appeal of a judge’s decision requiring the Christian-owned and operated business to comply with the Obama Administration’s HHS mandate.

When my family and I started our company 40 years ago, we were working out of a garage on a $600
bank loan, assembling miniature picture frames.. Our first retail store wasn’t much bigger than most people’s
living rooms, but we had faith that we would succeed if we lived and worked according to God’s word.
From there, Hobby Lobby has become one of the nation’s largest arts and crafts retailers, with more than 500
locations in 41 states.
Our children grew up into fine business leaders, and today we run Hobby Lobby together, as a family.
We’re Christians, and we run our business on Christian principles. I’ve always said that the first two goals of
our business are (1) to run our business in harmony with God’s laws, and (2) to focus on people more than money.
And that’s what we’ve tried to do.
We close early so our employees can see their families at night.
We keep our stores closed on Sundays, one of the week’s biggest shopping days, so that our workers and
their families can enjoy a day of rest.
We believe that it is by God’s grace that Hobby Lobby has endured, and he has blessed us and our employees.
We’ve not only added jobs in a weak economy, we’ve raised wages for the past four years in a row.
Our full-time employees startat 80% above minimum wage.
But now, our government threatens to change all of that. A new government healthcare mandate says that our family business MUST provide what I believe are abortion-causing drugs as part of our health insurance.
Being Christians, we don’t pay for drugs that might cause abortions, which means that we don’t cover emergency contraception, the morning-after pill or the week-after pill. We believe doing so might end a life after the moment of conception, something that is contrary to our most important beliefs. It goes against the Biblical principles on which
we have run this company since day one.
If we refuse to comply, we could face $1.3 million PER DAY in government fines.
Our government threatens to fine job creators in a bad economy. Our government threatens to fine a company that’s
raised wages four years running. Our government threatens to fine a family for running its business according to its
beliefs.
It’s not right. I know people will say we ought to follow the rules; that it’s the same for everybody.
But that’s not true.
The government has exempted thousands of companiesfrom this mandate, for reasons of convenience or cost. But it won’t
exempt them for reasons of religious belief.
So, Hobby Lobby and my family are forced to make a choice. With great reluctance, we filed a lawsuit today, represented by the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, asking a federal court to stop this mandate before it hurts our business. We don’t like
to go running into court,b ut we no longer have a choice. We believe people are more important than the bottom line and
that honoring God is more important than turning a profit.
My family has lived the American dream. We want to continue growing our company and providing great jobs for thousands of employees, but the government is going to make that much more difficult. The government is forcing us to choose between following our faith and following the law. I say that’s a choice no American and no American business should have to make.
The government cannot force you to follow laws that go against your fundamental religious belief.
They have exempted thousands of companies but will not except Christian organizations including the Catholic church.
Since you will not see this in the liberal media, please pass this on to all your contacts.
Sincerely,
David Green
CEO and Founder of Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc.

Note: Hobby Lobby sued the federal government regarding the contraception mandate, calling it an infringement on their religious freedom . . .
In March the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals granted Hobby Lobby’s petition for a full hearing on its appeal of a judge’s decision requiring the Christian-owned and operated business to comply with the Obama Administration’s HHS mandate.

France Legalizes Gay Marriage, Opposition Riots
By Douglas V. Gibbs
Great civilizations collapse under the weight of moral and political decay.
In France, despite public opinion to the contrary, the socialists in control of the government chose to legalize gay marriage, and the response by opposition was to riot. I don't believe rioting is the best way to get one's point across, but the riots in Paris over this does reveal how divisive the issue has become.

I don't believe rioting is the best way to get one's point across, but the riots in Paris over this does reveal how divisive the issue has become.
The fear by The Right is not over whether or not gays should marry, but the inevitable attack against the traditional family unit, for it is the family unit that serves as a very important building block of a successful society. Moral decay has historically led to the deterioration of society, and collapse will become inevitable as other evidence of decay also becomes apparent.
Within hours of the decision to allow gay couples to wed, a protest near Paris's Invalides complex of museums and monuments turned violent with officers working late into the night to restore calm.
France is the 14th country - and the largest - to legalize gay marriage.
As I have stated before, if gay marriage becomes a civil right, the homosexual agenda will use it to sue churches for refusing to marry gay couples, and that will lead to other law suits, such as refusal to allow gay Sunday School Teachers. The goal of the militant gay agenda is to destroy Christianity. They could care less about marriage, homosexuality is largely not a monogamous community. I am sure there are exceptions, but overall, the goal is to force society to reject religion. The reason gays want to marry is to destroy marriage, and ultimately to destroy our Christian dominated system.

Gosnell Found Guilty in Abortion Case
A Philadelphia abortion doctor was found guilty Monday of first-degree murder and could face execution in the deaths of three babies who authorities say were delivered alive and then killed with scissors at his grimy clinic, in a case that became a flashpoint in the nation's debate over abortion.
Dr. Kermit Gosnell, 72, was cleared in the death of a fourth baby, who prosecutors say let out a soft whimper before he snipped its neck.
Gosnell was also found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the drug-overdose death of a patient who had undergone an abortion.
