Idiot Televangelist Pat Robertson Blames Wife For Husband's Adultery


Guess the guy never heard of "Thou shalt not commit adultery"....what an idiot::
Pat Robertson is a feature on the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) and routinely takes calls from viewers.

One viewer recently was a woman scorned; her husband had cheated on her. 

The woman told Robertson that she had a hard time forgiving her husband's adultery and sought guidance on how to heal.

Robertson replied with advice that has spurned many Christians and non-Christians alike.

"The 'secret  is to “stop talking about the cheating. He cheated on you. Well, he’s a man. OK," Robertson told the wife.

He then went on to ask her why she fell in love with her husband in the first place. "Is he handsome?" Robertson asked, according to CNN.

Robertson followed up his comments by telling the woman that she needed to evaluate the home she had made for her husband.
“Males have a tendency to wander a little bit. And what you want to do is make a home so wonderful he doesn't want to wander," Robertson said. 

These comments prompted CBN to issue a statement.  “The intent was not to condone infidelity or to cast blame. We regret any misunderstanding."

NBC Reports Eric Holder Signed Off On Search Of Fox Reporter James Rosen’s Private Emails


Mediaite.com:
According to a report by NBC News investigative reporter Michael Isikoff, Attorney General Eric Holder signed off on the order to issue a warrant on Fox News reporter James Rosen’s communications records. The warrant allowed federal investigators to subpoena Rosen’s private emails as well as to look into his telephone records and those of his family members. 

Rosen, who has not been charged in the case, was nonetheless the target of a search warrant that enabled Justice Department investigators to secretly seized his private emails after an FBI agent said he had “asked, solicited and encouraged … (a source) to disclose sensitive United States internal documents and intelligence information.”  

“It was approved at the highest levels– and I mean the highest,” said one anonymous law enforcement official. 

“Justice officials have since said they do not intend to criminally charge Rosen, but media groups have condemned the issuance of the search warrant itself,” Isikoff writes. 

Isikoff says that his requests for comments from the Department of Justice have not been returned.

Obama Administration Admits Drone Strikes Have Killed Four Americans Since 2009


CNN.com:
Counterterrorism drone strikes have killed four Americans overseas since 2009, the U.S. government acknowledged for the first time on Wednesday, one day before President Barack Obama delivers a major speech on related policy.

In a letter to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, Attorney General Eric Holder said the United States specifically targeted and killed one American citizen, al Qaeda cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, in 2011 in Yemen, alleging he was plotting attacks against the United States.

The letter provided new details about al-Awlaki's alleged involvement in bomb plots targeting U.S. aviation.
Holder also said the Obama administration was aware of three other Americans who had been killed in counterterrorism operations overseas.

Holder said Samir Kahn, Abdul Rahman Anwar al-Awlaki and Jude Kenan Mohammed were not targeted by the United States but he did not add more details about their deaths.

The letter represents the first U.S. admission that the four were killed in counterterror strikes even though their deaths had been reported in the media.

Abdul Rahman Anwar Al-Awlaki was the 16-year-old son of the al Qaeda cleric and was killed in Pakistan about two weeks after his father's death.

Khan produced the English-language magazine Inspire for al Qaeda's affiliate in the Arabian Peninsula, which included bomb-making instruction. He was killed alongside the elder al-Awlaki.

Mohammed, who was once on the FBI's Most Wanted list, was indicted in July 2009 as part of a North Carolina-based terror ring. He was charged with plotting to murder, kidnap or maim persons overseas and provide material support to terrorists. Mohammed was never arrested and for a time reportedly was living in Pakistan.

The Justice Department did not say when he was killed or provide any details.

Obama will deliver long-promised remarks on Thursday at National Defense University and will speak at length about the policy and legal rationale for how the United States takes action against al Qaeda and its affiliates, including the use of drones, according to a White House official.

IRS Official Lois Lerner To Plead The Fifth At Congressional Hearing Tomorrow


LATimes.com:
A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the 5th Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups.

Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening — or why she didn’t disclose it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor III. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday.

“She has not committed any crime or made any misrepresentation but under the circumstances she has no choice but to take this course,” said a letter by Taylor to committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Vista). The letter, sent Monday, was obtained Tuesday by the Los Angeles Times.

Taylor, a criminal defense attorney from the Washington firm Zuckerman Spaeder, said that the Department of Justice has launched a criminal investigation, and that the House committee has asked Lerner to explain why she provided “false or misleading information” to the committee four times last year.

Since Lerner won’t answer questions, Taylor asked that she be excused from appearing, saying that would “have no purpose other than to embarrass or burden her.” There was no immediate word whether the committee will grant her request.

According to an inspector general’s report, Lerner found out in June 2011 that some staff in the nonprofits division in Cincinnati had used terms such as “Tea Party” and “Patriots” to select some applications for additional screening of their political activities. She ordered changes.

But neither Lerner nor anyone else at the IRS told Congress, even after repeated queries from several committees, including the House Oversight panel, about whether some groups had been singled out unfairly.

Lesbian Basketball Player Brittney Griner Says Baylor University Chose Winning Over God's Word


Of course, it's always hard to trust. much less believe someone who makes the choice to live the Godless lifestyle that is homosexuality. But according to Brittney Griner, the Baylor University basketball star who led her team to a national championship in 2012, her observantly Christian school chose money, fame and winning over God's word in recruiting her to join Baylor's women's basketball team:
Former Baylor women's basketball star Brittney Griner says that Kim Mulkey, her college head coach, told players not to be open publicly about their sexuality because it would hurt recruiting and look bad for the program.

"It was a recruiting thing," Griner said during an interview with ESPN The Magazine and espnW. "The coaches thought that if it seemed like they condoned it, people wouldn't let their kids come play for Baylor."

Griner, now preparing for her first WNBA season with the Phoenix Mercury, casually acknowledged she was gay during interviews with USA Today and with SI.com last month, when she referred to herself as "someone who has always been open." Griner said she had been open about her sexuality with family and friends since she was a freshman at Nimitz High School, in Houston.

In a series of interviews -- including one on camera Friday -- for an ESPN The Magazine and espnW.com story set to hit newsstands later this month, Griner said her silence during college was because Mulkey and her staff were concerned about the program's image.

"It was more of a unwritten law [to not discuss your sexuality] ... it was just kind of, like, one of those things, you know, just don't do it," Griner said Friday. "They kind of tried to make it, like, 'Why put your business out on the street like that?'"

But Griner reiterated on Friday that her sexuality was an open secret at Baylor.

"I told Coach [Mulkey] when she was recruiting me. I was like, 'I'm gay. I hope that's not a problem,' and she told me that it wasn't," Griner said. "I mean, my teammates knew, obviously they all knew. Everybody knew about it."

Baylor University, a private Baptist school located in Waco, Texas, has a "Statement on Human Sexuality" in its student handbook. Located under the label "Sexual Misconduct," it says that "Christian churches across the ages and around the world have affirmed purity in singleness and fidelity in marriage between a man and a woman as the biblical norm. Temptations to deviate from this norm include both heterosexual sex outside of marriage and homosexual behavior. It is thus expected that Baylor students will not participate in advocacy groups which promote understandings of sexuality that are contrary to biblical teaching."

The University also encourages students "struggling with these issues" to consult either the Spiritual Life Office or the Baylor University Counseling.
Of course, the liberal media is all over this story, attacking Coach Mulkey for "forcing" Griner to not talk openly about her "sexual orientation". But what about Griner's role in choosing a school that she knew was Christian? Did she really think that Baylor was going to abandon their beliefs? Compromise? Well, if this story is true than I guess they did.

Obama Department of Justice Secretly Monitored and Criminalized Three Fox News Reporters


Silencing the only news network that dares to challenge him, that seems to be the objective here:
Earlier today the Washington Post reported that Fox News' James Rosen had been secretly monitored by the Department of Justice. DOJ monitored his work and personal emails, read his work and personal emails, monitored his phones, monitored his movements and even named him as a criminal conspirator. Now, we know Rosen wasn't the only Fox News reporter targeted. Reporter William LaJeunesse, who extensively covered Operation Fast and Furious and national-security senior producer Mike Levine.

Fox News executive Michael Clemente is vowing to stand by reporters and slammed the administration for their intimidation tactics and assault on the First Amendment.
“We are outraged to learn today that James Rosen was named a criminal co-conspirator for simply doing his job as a reporter. In fact, it is downright chilling. We will unequivocally defend his right to operate as a member of what up until now has always been a free press.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney refused to comment on the secret monitoring of Fox News reporters and continued to say President Obama believes in a balance between free speech and national security during his press briefing Monday.

"I can't address an ongoing criminal investigation," Carney said. "The president believes strongly in the need for reporters to pursue investigative journalism."

The Department of Justice is justifying its actions and saying the Department followed the law and all regulations in relation to tapping communications of the press.
