I recently received word that two hostages held by the notorious Nigerian Islamic terror group, Boko Haram were killed in a daring UK rescue attempt.
According to the Nigerian Tribune, British Special Forces attempted to rescue Briton Chris McManus and Italian Franco Lamolinara from their captors at a secret location in Kebbi, Nigeria. The rescue team included eight members of the United Kingdom's Special Boat Services and as many as 12 Royal Marine commandos.
Both McManus and Lamolinara were killed by BH terrorists during the raid.
Peer pressure and bad influences are not just a part of growing up. As adults, we face many of the same obstacles when it comes to our choices in friends and lifestyles. Lately, it has become clear to me that I am still just as vulnerable to influences. We all make mistakes; and it can become very easy for us to get lost in a bad crowd.
Watch Mitt Romney talk about his Mormon faith and the church's views on the second coming of Jesus Christ and the millennium period. It's interesting to watch because we NEVER hear Romney talk about his faith so candidly.
This video was shot during the 2008 campaign during a commercial break when he was being interview by Jan Mickelson on WHO Radio in Iowa. This clip got some brief attention during the 2008 campaign but many casual political observers probably never saw it.
Watch this week's edition of The Brody File show below.
CBN News talks one-on-one with GOP candidate Rick Santorum, and he talks about the challenge he says he faces because I'd his faith.
Plus, we take a look at President Barack Obama's passive aggressive move toward the GOP candidates, and the Brody File introduces you to the perfect candidate "Newt Santomney."
If Mitt Romney beats Rick Santorum in Alabama, it would be huge for the Romney campaign. It would show Romney could actually win in the Deep South. Read below from Politico:
An official with Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign told supporters in an email that the former Massachusetts governor is within 1 point of victory in Alabama and can “end this process” by winning the state on Tuesday.
Newt says he’s staying in the GOP race until the GOP convention in Tampa. His thinking may change if he pulls up third in Alabama and/or Mississippi. Listen to what Gingrich said here.
Look, if it were up to Santorum, he would show Gingrich the door, pronto. Santorum will need to have convincing wins in both Alabama and Mississippi to make a statement.
I posted the following blog on March 11, 2009 during the Jewish feast of Purim. Purim celebrates the victory of the Jews over the plot of Haman to annihilate them.
Unfortunately it's as timely now as it was then. Iran, the current day Persia, as another leader – Ahmadinejad, with the same plot as Haman's, to eradicate the Jews. But this time Iran is developing a nuclear bomb to fulfill its plan.
I hate to say I told you so. I also hate to come off like I'm tooting my own horn because I'm not. But when I see a report like the one I'm about to share, I can't help but feel frustrated, even a bit angry.
The trailer for a new 17-minute documentary about the issues facing President Obama when he moved into the White House nearly four years ago hit the web today.
"The Road We've Traveled" is directed by Davis Guggenheim, the man who produced the film based on Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth." It's narrated by Tom Hanks and includes appearances by Vice President Joe Biden, First Lady Michelle Obama, and other Obama administration officials who tell the story of the state of the country when Obama took office and how he's dealt with America's issues.
