It looks like Speaker of the House John Boehner is up to his old tricks again, threatening to block an increase in the federal debt limit ceiling without obtaining significant new cuts in spending. There is little doubt that the last two years, which resulted in over $1.0 trillion per year in deficit spending, will bring the country close to …
Read the full story »Silent Screams In The Congo
The Commandment says, “Thou shalt not kill.” I believe that murder of the spirit falls under this commandment. To kill a person’s spirit is to rob them of life. Such is the tragedy happening in the Congo as thousands of women are being raped each year. These women are being raped, mutilated and infected with HIV at alarming rates. For some, actual …
Looking Ahead With Barack Obama
The Compassion Forum, hosted by well known evangelist and author Rick Warren, was conducted last night at The Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California. The forum and gave both Barack Obama and John McCain an opportunity to answer a number of diverse questions without being able to hear or respond to each other’s answers. Both candidates appeared to be relaxed and well-rehearsed, and …
Europe Must Show Leadership in Georgia
The recent clash between Georgia and Russia, involving disputed territory in the region of South Ossetia must be handled very diplomatically by the Bush Administration. For a number of reasons the US government should refrain from making incendiary comments, posing comparisons to the 1968 Czech invasion, or supplying military hardware and military advice to the Georgian government. This is a golden opportunity for the Bush Administration to …
Chicanery: McCain’s Double Speak
John McCain posed Presidential yesterday at his news conference in Michigan as he spoke with subliminal political posturing using Russia and the situation in Georgia. “Carpe Diem,” I’m sure his campaign advisers said, and so he seized. McCain repeatedly stated that this was no time for “partisanship and sniping” but that is exactly what he did. Let’s examine just a few …
A New Strategy is Needed Against al-Qaida
A top U.S. counterterrorism official warned yesterday there may be an increased risk of attack by al-Qaida during the upcoming U.S election season. This statement should come as no surprise, since al-Qaida has effectively moved its operationaland training facilities into remote tribal regions of Pakistan along the Afghan/ Pakistan border, and out of the reach of U.S. military attacks. Due to the strong …
Invisible Me At Last
When I was a kid there was a cartoon and for the life of me, I can’t recall the name of the character. He carried a bucket of invisible paint with him everywhere he went. If he got into a jam, he just dipped his brush into the paint, covered himself with it and voila! He was invisible. I completely believed it …
The Undecided Voters Will Elect Obama
As we draw ever closer to the Republican and Democratic National Conventions, each of the respective party faithful prepare for the crowning of their candidate. Both John McCain and Barack Obama will revel in the pomp and pageantry, hoping that their own parties will muster up enough support to win them the coveted prize of President of the United States. Each …
The Dem’s Convention Will Seal the Deal
Within a few weeks, both the Democrats and Republicans will be holding their nominating conventions. Although the outcomes are all but assured for Senator Obama and Senator McCain, the Democratic convention may still hold a few surprises for Mr. Obama that are not included in the well choreographed agenda. The pro-Hillary forces, who are outwardly showing tepid support for Obama, …
Inflation: The Real Enemy
Yesterday, the Commerce Department released the nation’s inflation rate for the month of June. The figure came in at .8%, driving the annualized rate to 5.02%. Although disturbing, the projected rate of 5.02% for the current year is still below the record of 13.58% set in 1979 during the Carter Administration. If, however, June’s inflation rate continued at the same level …
Retirement is Still Possible
Many of you who are looking to retire in the near future may still have the old, traditional pension plans that were established by your employers back in the days when employers actually paid pensions. Most of you, however, will some day have to retire on savings that you, or you and your employer, have contributed to 401K Plans. In most …

Women as Enemy: A Film About Brutality Toward Our Global Sisters
For far too long in history, women have been perceived as chattel, disposable and expendable. This past year we witnessed uprisings in the Middle East during their Arab Spring. Women often fought along side men to oust oppressive regimes. In Bahrain, however, women are still at risk of torture and rape. Yemen women played activists roles in toppling President Saleh, …
