In Defense of the Pope(s)...

Pulling (and Polling) For The Pontiff.

(DAYTONA BEACH, FL) - I don't know about you, but I think it's high time somebody stood up for The See. I mean like defended the Defender of the Faith.

Will the Church of Scotland Cave in to Zionist Bullies?

As has been said so many times, there can be no peace under occupation.

(LONDON) - “The political and humanitarian situation in the Holy Land continues to be a source of pain and concern for us all," says the introduction to the Church of Scotland's report The inheritance of Abraham? A report on the ‘promised land’.

It is the Church’s latest reflection on the “questions that need to be faced”.

Herbert Romerstein: A Life Devoted to Advancing Freedom

Herb was a happy warrior and devoted to his family. His funeral, complete with military honor guard, was conducted by his son-in-law, an Orthodox rabbi.

It appears Smith is the only Washington lawmaker willing to back the legislation, at least now.

(PORTLAND, OR) - A proposed law that would force the federal government to respect state marijuana laws is gaining bipartisan support, but U.S. representatives from Washington state aren’t so stoked.

(LONDON) - It's hilarious. I'm still rolling on the floor laughing my socks off at a report by the US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF).
