American Bible Challenge, the Game Show Network’s primetime Bible trivia show hosted by comedian Jeff Foxworthy, ends its season tonight at 9 p.m. ET/PT (Thursday, May 23rd). To promote the season’s closer, which features a performance by GRAMMY-winning duo Mary Mary, GSN has released two comedic finale previews.
Lois Lerner’s past history may be catching up with her. She’s in trouble right now because of her role in the IRS scandal but the practices she employed while head of the Enforcement Office at the Federal Election Commission (FEC) is also raising some red flags. It appears that she doesn’t necessarily have a fondness for conservative Christian groups.
Out of all the controversies swirling around President Obama right now, the biggest threat to him is the one involving the snooping by the justice department when it comes to reporters’ phone conversations and emails. You see, this is the story that really gets the media angry. The IRS story? Yes, nice story. Good political sizzle. Benghazi? Sure that’s a decent one too. But spying on reporters is the one that gets the mainstream media juiced. This is the one that could contain the most damage for the president because the media doesn’t like to be played with.
It was a sobering call. We talked with Segen, a 35-year-old Eritrean woman caught in the web of kidnapping, human trafficking, and extortion in the Sinai. She’s being tortured by Bedouin tribesmen who are demanding $33,000 in ransom from her Eritrean family. If they don’t pay, she might end up like five others who were kidnapped along with her … dead.
She says their bodies – weakened by lack of food and water – couldn’t stand up to the torture. The Bedouins would beat their private parts and vital areas around the heart. Their bodies simply gave out.
Seventy-eight-year-old Dominique Venner, a French historian and writer associated with the French far right, walked into Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris Tuesday, placed a sealed letter on the altar, and shot himself in the head.
On this week's episode of the Stakelbeck on Terror show, we sit down with author Raymond Ibrahim to discuss his new book, Crucified Again: Exposing Islam's New War on Christians.
We also take a closer look at Egyptian president Mohammed Morsi and his role in the Muslim Brotherhood.

So many families have been touched by cancer that just the mention of the word is scary to hear and often feels like a death sentence. While this is not always the case and many cancers are treatable, the fear is often tied to better known risk factors and more awareness. This week, actress Angelina Jolie brought that reality to the forefront by going public with a personal decision she’s made.
President Obama is working hard to appear focused on any and everything other than the scandals that have plagued his administration this week. Sexual assaults in the military, violence in Syria, and the still sluggish U.S. economy are all preferred focuses next to the Department of Justice's Associated Press probe, Benghazi, and the IRS witch hunt against conservative groups.
In an exclusive interview with The Brody File, CBS Investigative Reporter Sharyl Attkisson says that when it comes to reporting on the Benghazi controversy, she believes that “some in the media were not as curious as I think naturally journalists ought to be.” She goes on to say that, ““The media’s not always consistent in the vigor that they use to pursue a given topic.”
Attkisson has been lauded by conservative groups because she has been one of the few mainstream media reporters to continually investigate the controversy surrounding Benghazi since the beginning.
In my post last week, I talked about raising daughters. I wanted to continue my thoughts on that subject this week. Both of my daughters are vastly different in personality. My oldest is a more conservative, worrying type. She has a huge humanitarian heart and seeks God, but tends to focus on the negative at times. My youngest daughter is one of those people you cannot bring down.
