Bill Gertz: Former Security Officials to Obama: Cancel Nuke Cuts—A group of 18 former military and national security officials wrote to President Barack Obama on Friday urging the administration to cancel plans for further cuts in United States nuclear warheads, warning that new arms reductions would undermine U.S. security. The ex-officials, including two former members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, stated in the letter to Obama that North Korea’s recent underground nuclear test, and concerns about growing Pyongyang-Tehran nuclear arms cooperation, undermines any further disarmament sought by the president.

Ezekiel 48: 8-9
“And beside the border of Judah, from the east side to the west side, shall be the allotment which you shall set apart, 25,000 cubits in width, and in length like one of the portions, from the east side to the west side; and the sanctuary shall be in the middle of it. The allotment that you shall set apart to Yahweh shall be 25,000 cubits in length and 10,000 in width.”

His Name is Yahweh explains why the Name of God, Yahweh, is so important. It’s available in eBook format and in paperback.
- God also said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘Yahweh, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.’ This [Yahweh] is my name forever, the name by which I am to be remembered from generation to generation.” (Exodus 3: 15)
- “Therefore behold, I am going to make them know—this time I will make them know My power and My might; and they shall know that My name is Yahweh.” (Jeremiah 16: 21)
- “Behold, the days are coming,” declares Yahweh, “when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch; and He will reign as king and act wisely and do justice and righteousness in the land. In His days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell securely; and this is His name by which He will be called, ‘Yahweh our righteousness.’” (Jeremiah 23: 5-6)
- Yeshua said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am.” (John 8: 58)

Deroy Murdock: Chuck Hagel’s Greatest Hits— Lined up side by side, statements by the defense secretary nominee on Jews and Israel sound highly disturbing indeed. Will leave any objective reader dumb-founded. Give him the gong!
Phillip Cowan: The Left is Circling the Wagons against Dr. Ben Carson—Formulating a potent Alinsky Rule # 5 offense against sage Ben Carson.
Dr. Susan Berry: 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.”
Robert Small: Clearing Away the Rubble…with Black Hawks, Tanks, and Loads of Ammo—If things are so peachy in America, as President Obama says, what’s with all the Black Hawk helicopters and urban warfare drills?
Adam Lankford: Exposing false ‘martyrs’ as suicidal— ‘These are not suicide operations,” explained Hamas co-founder Mahmoud al-Zahar on Al-Arabiya television in 2006. “This is a despicable term used by the Israelis in order to say that these are suicide operations, knowing that suicide is forbidden in Islam…. These are martyrdom seeking operations, approved by all the authorities of the Islamic nation.”
Al-Zahar’s claims were not surprising. He was neither the first, nor the last, to make that argument. But it is shocking that the rest of the world essentially agreed.
Seth Mandel: Anti-Semitism in France and the Ghost of Emile Combes—At the turn of the 20th century and in the wake of the Dreyfus Affair, French Prime Minister Emile Combes tried to ludicrously deny the injustice of the purge of religion from the republic by disingenuously calling upon the separation of church and state. “All we ask of religion–because we are entitled to do so–is that it keep within its temples, that it limit its instruction to the faithful, and that it refrain from unwarrantable interference in the civil and political domain,” Combes said at a public gathering. Yet Combes’s own language could not have been clearer, as he referred to the anticlerical secularists not as bigots and nihilists, but as “freethinkers.” The term was more appropriate than even Combes had probably intended, for those who didn’t think as Combes did were no longer so free to do so.
Israpundit: Attacks on Jews soar 82% in France— “Far from raising awareness, the attacks in Toulouse and Sarcelles were followed by a dramatic increase in anti-Semitic attacks,” the report stated. Of course, the Muslims are emboldened by the depraved and coldblooded attacks of Islamic Jew hatred.
Bethany Mandel: Israel’s Bad Week on UK Campuses—It hasn’t been a good week for free and open debate about the Jewish state on campuses in the United Kingdom. Two separate incidents, one at the University of Essex and a second at Oxford University, have shown just how low opponents of Israel will stoop in order to delegitimize her and squash the free speech of Israel’s citizens and defenders.
Dr. Moshe Dann: Hizbullah and the Syrian Civil War— The reported presence of thousands of Hizbullah fighters and tens of thousands of Iranian Revolutionary Guards in Syria to protect President Assad and his regime means that Iran has made a strategic commitment not to lose Syria.
Elliott Abrams: Are Iran Sanctions Working?—It’s a commonplace to say that sanctions against Iran are tighter than ever and are working. The problem is that sanctions appear to be having no impact on Iran’s nuclear weapons program, which is after all their purpose.
Jay Adler: Lessons from Brooklyn College BDS, Barghouti, and Butler— Reader and correspondent David Lurie has directed me to some not well-publicized revelations about the Brooklyn College BDS event. To begin, the campus BDS chapter defended itself against various accusations of selective and prejudicial admission to the event and other claims, including the discriminatory eviction of four Jewish students. On the face of it, the account of circumstances surrounding admission is conceivable. One can easily imagine the organizers having become overwhelmed by the notoriety and numbers drawn by the event. One can imagine, but since there is no video record of events, we have only the current claims and counter claims.
Jeremy Rosen: Purim and the Evolution of Judaism— It always amazes me how Judaism has succeeded in evolving (or shall we say, for the sake of political correctness, reinvigorating itself). After all, the Bible took orgiastic pagan harvest festivals and turned them into disciplined, monotheistic family celebrations. Shapatu, the Mesopotamian Seventh Day, was transformed from an evil day of fear and bad luck into one of rest and spirituality.
Chas Newkey-Burden: Israel’s Unwritten Message— I’m inspired by historical giants such as the Baal Shem Tov, Rabbi Nachman and the Chabad Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson. I’m fascinated and haunted by Elie Wiesel’s stories of the Hasidim in Block 57 at Auschwitz who continued to sing, dance and pray to G-d, even in that darkest of times.
Jonathan S. Tobin: The Cylinder and the Jews—In recent years, discussion of the Jewish festival of Purim — whose observance begins Saturday night — has been linked to the nation of Iran. That has had little to do with the fact that the sage of the Book of Esther takes place in ancient Persia or that the places that are believed by some to be the tombs of Esther and Mordechai are located in what is now Iran. Instead, the association with Iran has more to do with the clear link between the exterminationist agenda of the Haman, the villain of the Purim tale and that of Iran’s present day rulers. Both Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the country’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei who deny the truth of the Holocaust while plotting another genocide of the Jews with their nuclear project, are easily added to the list of evildoers who have been seen as latter-day Hamans throughout the long and often tragic course of modern Jewish history.
Tom Blumer: Let Sequestration Happen—At this point, allowing sequestration to happen is a precondition for beginning the sobering-up process the political class in Washington must undergo if this country is to financially survive. So let it happen.
Barry Rubin: Why It’s in Everyone’s Interests that the Hagel Nomination Be Defeated—It seems certain that Chuck Hagel will be confirmed by the U.S. Senate as the next secretary of defense. But it shouldn’t be. For the Hagel issue is the perfect symbol of the dilemmas faced by America today.
Michael Ledeen: Shut Up or I’ll Kill You—It’s worth reminding ourselves that free speech around the world is still a rarity, and seems to be becoming even rarer. Lots of countries have the death penalty and other violent punishments for “insulting the state” or “the leader.” In religious states, such talk is branded blasphemy; in all too many secular states, unrestrained criticism of favored groups falls under the arbitrary classification of “hate speech” and is suppressed.
Tamar Sternthal: Sympathy for a Palestinian Terrorist?—Palestinian demonstrations and NGO activity on behalf of hunger-striking Palestinian prisoner Samer Issawi have intensified. Who is Samer Issawi and why had he been imprisoned? According to the Israel Prison Service, Samer Issawi of Issawiyeh, Jerusalem, was arrested in April 2002 and sentenced to 26 years for attempted murder, belonging to a terror organization, military training, and possession of weapons, arms and explosive materials. Issawi was one of the 477 Palestinian prisoners released in the first stage of the Gilad Shalit prisoner exchange in October 2011. Issawi was convicted of firing a gun at a civilian vehicle in October 2001, indiscriminately firing an AK47 assault rifle at civilian buses, and manufacturing and distributing pipe bombs used in attacks on Israeli civilians.
Elhanan Miller: Prisoner Protests Mark PA Effort to Start a “Popular Intifada”—With little prospect of success on the reconciliation front with Hamas, and on the verge of bankruptcy, the Palestinian Authority has been instrumental in orchestrating the escalating series of popular demonstrations in recent weeks, held in solidarity with Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails. On Thursday, thousands of Palestinians demonstrated at the Beitunia military checkpoint near the Ofer Prison outside Ramallah.
Khaled Abu Toameh: Palestinians Plan Violence to Force the U.S. to Extract Concessions from Israel—There are many signs that the Palestinian Authority is seeking to escalate tensions in the West Bank ahead of U.S. President Barack Obama’s visit to the region next month. Some PA officials in Ramallah believe that a “mini-intifada” would serve the Palestinians’ interests, hoping that scenes of daily clashes between Israeli soldiers and Palestinians will prompt Obama to exert pressure on the Israeli government to make far-reaching concessions.
David Ignatius: Insufficient Trust for a Deal with Iran—While the next negotiating session between Iran and the P5+1 nations is scheduled for Feb. 26 in Kazakhstan, Mohammad Khazaee, Iran’s ambassador to the UN, indicated this week that while a deal can be imagined in principle, the environment isn’t conducive for making it happen in practice. He said, “The point is…the mistrust that exists between the two countries. As soon as one side says something…[the other side] says there is a hidden agenda.”
Ghaith Abdul-Ahad: How to Start a Battalion in Syria (in Five Easy Lessons)—For decades, the dictatorship in Syria worked to stamp the people into submission, to be subservient to the ruler. In Syria, you spent your life trying to avoid being humiliated – let alone detained and tortured or disappeared – by those in authority while somehow also sucking up to them, bribing them, begging them to give you what you needed: a telephone line, a passport, a university place for your son. So when these systems of control collapsed, something exploded inside people, a sense of individualism long suppressed.
Mitchell Bard: Who Really Cares about the Palestinians?—Just two months ago, 180 countries voted in favor of Palestinian statehood at the UN, but they have not adopted a resolution condemning the brutal slaughter of more than 700 Palestinians in Syria. If Israel were responsible for what is happening to the Palestinians, the UN would have acted immediately, but the inconvenient truth is that no one really cares about the Palestinians – unless Jews are involved.
Noah Beck: Beware Turkish Hypocrisy—With Islamists in charge, the old assumptions no longer hold.
Frank Ryan: A Debtor-Prison Nation—The United States may now be too “enlightened” (according to liberals) to have debtor prisons, but it’s not too enlightened to be one.
Jeremy Egerer: A Tyranny Effeminate—What men must realize about our relations with women is that women do not dictate the proper relations between the sexes.

Blessings in the Book of Revelation is a book that you need to read, especially now. There are blessings throughout the Scriptures but Revelation is the only book in the Bible actually containing a specific blessing for reading it. It’s repeated twice, once at the beginning and again at the end. This is the reason that I believe Revelation should be the first step toward studying biblical prophecy. Though not easy to do, Revelation can be broken down and understood by anyone, not just the academic elite. So, Revelation’s blessings are for everyone. Click here to order the eBook.

I have read the article in American Thinker on Feb 21st ‘ which condemns the Opraphication of American thinking – i.e. away from facts to feelings. I notice that this article does not condemn the complete absence of facts in the rhetoric of the gun lobby, which is overwhelmingly characterised by claims of a mythical conspiracy by liberals etc to steal all guns from americans and unsubstantiated nonsense about gun owners facing down armed criminals. There is no regard for facts whatsoever in right wing rhetoric
You should read my articles on the gun control movement. They are loaded with facts. Many others are as well. It may be that the facts don’t line up well with your feelings. Remember what George Orwell said: “During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.”
