DOJ ON 'GAYS': 'SILENCE WILL BE INTERPRETED AS DISAPPROVAL'
5/19/2013 4:00:00 PM
By Matt Barber -WorldNetDaily
Under President Obama, "justice" is anything but blind. Neither is it deaf. In fact, based on recent revelations, it appears to be watching your every move and listening to your every word. Still, if you happen to be a federal employee, now it's even listening for your silence.

The only thing this Obama White House seems to generate is scandal. Well, here's yet another to add to the growing list. In addition to the Benghazi cover-up, IRS targeting of political dissenters and the illegal seizure of media phone records, whistleblowers within DOJ have contacted Liberty Counsel to express grave concerns over this administration's latest attack on freedom.

Embryonic stem cells: Advance in medical human cloning

5/19/2013 3:47:00 PM
By James Gallagher -BBC Health News
Human cloning has been used to produce early embryos, marking a "significant step" for medicine, say US scientists. The cloned embryos were used as a source of stem cells, which can make new heart muscle, bone, brain tissue or any other type of cell in the body.

The study, published in the journal Cell, used methods like those that produced Dolly the sheep in the UK. However, researchers say other sources of stem cells may be easier, cheaper and less controversial.

Opponents say it is unethical to experiment on human embryos and have called for a ban.

Moscow defies EU, prohibits gay pride march out of 'respect for morality'
5/19/2013 9:16:00 PM
By Matthew Cullinan Hoffman -LifeSiteNews.com
The Moscow city government has rejected an application for a homosexual march permit for the eighth year in a row, citing the need for "respect for morality" and patriotism, according to Russian media sources.

"According to Russian law, we must work clearly and consistently on maintaining morality, directed to the teaching of patriotism to the growing generation, and not toward unclear aspirations, not to mention taking the city's central squares and streets for this," said Aleksei Mayorov, head of Regional Security for the city of Moscow, according to Interfax

If homosexual activists defy the law and attempt to march as they have in previous years, Mayorov warned that "a certain reaction will follow and the action will be thwarted," according to RIA Novosti. "In our opinion there is no desire for such events in the city."

Bill Donohue: IRS Targeted Catholic League

5/18/2013 5:11:00 PM
By Bill Donohue -Newsmax
The problems with the IRS extend beyond playing politics with conservative groups seeking a tax-exempt status. I have never made this public before, but given the heightened interest in the way the IRS has conducted itself, the time has come to disclose what happened.

Just weeks after Barack Obama was elected president in 2008, I was notified by the IRS that the Catholic League was under investigation for violating the IRS Code on political activities as it relates to 501(c)(3) organizations. What the IRS did not know was that I had proof who contacted them to launch the investigation: Catholics United, a George Soros-funded Catholic organization.
