I recently made a major change and moved to a new city and house. The transition began with the moving truck broken down on the highway, then getting lost and unloading until midnight in the dark with a little intermittent rain. Then, I noticed a vine growing into my front porch and without thinking, yanked it out. It turned out to be poison ivy and it now is covering my face and arms with a vengeance.
Mitt Romney's brilliant performance in the first presidential debate shocked and dismayed the chattering classes who, for four years, had been telling us and each other how brilliant Barack Obama is. Whether or not Obama is brilliant, the debate was a wipeout.
President Obama got some good news today. The new jobs report is out and the unemployment rate dipped below 8 percent. More below from The Associated Press:
The U.S. unemployment rate fell to 7.8 percent last month, dropping below 8 percent for the first time in nearly four years and giving President Barack Obama a potential boost with the election a month away.
They're part of the most diverse generation America has ever birthed, but Millennials have reservations about having a Mormon president.
Less than half, 44 percent, of voters aged 18-25 say they're comfortable with a Mormon president. The numbers go down for Athiests (43%) and Muslims (30%). Sixty-one percent say they're comfortable with an evangelical Christian in the White House.
White Millennials (50%) are more comfortable having a Mormon president than black (33%) and Hispanic (27%) Millennials.
I have just one question after watching Wednesday night’s first presidential debate in Denver: What did the Obama campaign do with the real President Obama?
Who was that guy on stage exactly? Was that the Obama impersonator from Saturday Night Live? Where was the articulate and confident Obama? Was it the altitude or, on a more serious note, was President Obama exposed and schooled by a very knowledgeable, confident businessman?
Put it this way: If this was boxing match, the referee would have stepped in and stopped it. TKO Romney.
While we're all gearing up to watch tonight's presidential debate here in the States, Hezbollah is gearing up for what would be an unprecedented escalation in its jihad against Israel. Here's more, from The Blaze:
A new video has surfaced and The Brody File has the exclusive. It shows Barack Obama talking about how the human fetus is a “potential life.” (As opposed to an actual life.)
He also goes on to say that the viability of that “potential life” is a “moving target.” He made these comments in 2004 at a small business event in Springfield, Ill.
Watch below along with a partial transcription.
As Mitt Romney gets ready to take the stage in Denver tonight for his first presidential debate with President Obama, every pundit under the sun is chock full of advice. But here are the only lines of analysis he needs to read: To win the evening and change the trajectory of the race, Romney MUST be aggressive and knock the president down a peg or two.
“Under Obama, faith is under attack.”
That’s the message in some new radio ads that have just gone up in the battleground states of Ohio and Iowa. The group behind it is the Campaign for American Values, an organization headed by influential conservative activist Gary Bauer.
Watch one of the ads below.
This topic relates to all of us who seek to follow Christ. We’re all “recovering sinners.” We have different sins we’ve struggled with, but for all of us part of being Jesus’ disciple is overcoming our sinful habits.
