Ineligible for Refinancing Just Because You’re Underwater on Your Mortgage? Step Right Up, Obama Says
CNS News
President Obama debuted many of the details of his latest mortgage bailout proposal in a speech in Falls Church, Va., Wednesday, elaborating on the plan he first mentioned during his State of the Union address in January.
The central part of that plan is a new program for so-called underwater borrowers that would allow them to refinance at lower interest rates, even though they owe more than their home is currently worth.

Voter Fraud Is Major Election Threat Based on Recent Cases, Analyst Says
CNS News
Even as one election-fraud case in Lincoln County, W. Va., comes to a close, another case in Troy, N.Y., continues.Still, Attorney General Eric Holder asserts that voter fraud is “uncommon,” in defending the Justice Department’s lawsuit to stamp out voter ID laws in South Carolina and potentially other states.
Election fraud is a greater threat to the right to vote than poll taxes and other Jim Crow restrictions, said Horace Cooper, adjunct fellow with National Center for Public Policy Research.

Political correctness missing in 'honor killing' case
OneNewsNow
A critic of Islam is pleased that the "horrors of honor killing" were not "whitewashed" in the case involving three Muslims in Canada who will spend at least 25 years in prison for first-degree murder.
As previously reported on OneNewsNow, a jury in Ontario has found an Afghan immigrant couple, Mohammad Shafia and Tooba Yahya, and their son, Hamad, guilty of first-degree murder in the June 2009 drowning of the couple's three teenage daughters and the man's first wife. Prosecutors convinced the jury that Zainab, 19, Sahar, 17, and Geeti, 13, were victims of an honor killing plot because the Islamic family disapproved of their conduct, particularly in the dating habits of the two oldest sisters. One of them dated a Christian.

Bipartisan Call for Senate to Move Quickly on Insider-Trading Bill
CNS News
A bipartisan trio of senators held a press conference Tuesday calling for swift passage of legislation that would make it illegal for members of Congress to engage in insider-trading, or privately profit from privileged information attained through their public service.
The Senate on Monday voted 93-2 to advance the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (Stock) Act for debate, and it is now subject to an open amendment process on the Senate floor. Later Tuesday it ran into difficulties as some senators sought to add unrelated amendments

'Buffett Rule’ Affects 94,500 Taxpayers, But White House Says It Would Help Pay for Education, Innovation
CNS News
The so-called “Buffett rule,” named for the billionaire Warren Buffett, would increase taxes on fewer than 100,000 millionaire taxpayers, according to the non-partisan Congressional Research Service.
Nevertheless, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney promoted the rule to cover the cost of “important investments that we need to pay for” such as “investments” in national security, education and innovation.
During the State of the Union address last week, President Barack Obama told a joint session of Congress, “Tax reform should follow the ‘Buffett rule.’” Obama added, “If you make more than $1 million a year, you should not pay less than 30 percent in taxes.”

UN Textbooks for Palestinian Children ‘Explosively Anti-Semitic, Anti-American and Anti-Israeli'
CNS News
The textbooks used to educate Palestinian children who live in refugee camps came under fire at a briefing on Wednesday on Capitol Hill where experts said lessons of intolerance and hatred toward Jews and Israel fill the books’ pages.
Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.), chairman of the House subcommittee on Human Rights and co-chairman of the Bi-Partisan Coalition for Combating Anti-Semitism, told CNSNews.com that U.S. donations to the United Nations Refugee and Works Agency (UNRWA) make the federal government accountable for what is in the books.

House Republican Says ‘Three Is A Trend’ in Another Stimulus-Funded Green Company Bankruptcy
CNS News
The third federally subsidized green energy company to declare bankruptcy seems to indicate a pattern, said Rep. Cliff Stearns, chairman of the House Energy and Commerce subcommittee on oversight and investigations.
“One bankruptcy may be a fluke, two could be coincidence, but three is a trend,” Stearns said in a written statement. “Our investigation continues, and we are working to ensure taxpayers never are never again stuck paying hundreds of millions of dollars because of the administration’s risky bets.”

DeMint: Obama’s Pipeline Decision Contradicts His SOTU Speech on Jobs, Energy
CNS News
President Barack Obama talked in the State of the Union address on Tuesday about bringing more manufacturing jobs to the United States, and decreasing foreign energy dependence. The irony is that it came a week after Obama rejected the Keystone XL oil pipeline, which would have created at minimum 20,000 jobs, said Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C) .
“Well, it’s like we’re living in two different worlds,” DeMint told CNSNews.com on Capitol Hill after Obama’s speech. “One week he kills a major source of energy that could make us more energy secure and insulate us from the instability in the Middle East. Now he’s talking about making us energy secure.”

New U.S. Ambassador to Russia: We Support ‘Universal Values’ Not ‘American Values’
CNS News
The new U.S. ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul, said that in dealing with the former Soviet Union, he and the Obama administration would be advocating “universal values” and “not American values.”
McFaul was sworn in as ambassador to Russia by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Jan. 10. He made his remarks on Tuesday’s Morning Edition on NPR. The show’s host, David Greene, had asked McFaul about Russia’s “evolution towards demoracy,” and McFaul said “there is no single path to democracy” and that his job was to support universal values.

SOTU: Obama rehashes his 'wish list'
OneNewsNow
President Barack Obama delivered his third State of the Union address Tuesday evening. The 44th U.S. president took aim on tax equality, but critics said the address was more about his bid for re-election -- and media reports describe it as a "wish list" more than a "to-do list."
As expected, the president cast his vision of balancing the scales between the rich and the poor. "Where everyone gets a fair shot and everyone does their fair share and everyone plays by the same set of rules," he stated.

Obama outsourcing to Brazil; lawsuit filed
OneNewsNow
A former congressman says it's hypocritical of President Barack Obama to call on U.S. companies to "insource" jobs while he is choosing to outsource a lucrative government aircraft contract to a foreign company.
The Kansas City Star recently reported that Kansas-based Hawker Beechcraft Corp. filed a lawsuit, forcing the Air Force to halt work on a $354-million contract with a Brazilian company to build a light attack aircraft. The Pentagon awarded the contract to Nevada-based Sierra Nevada Corp., which will work with Embraer, a Brazilian corporation that produces the A-29 Super Tucano turboprop. But Hawker Beechcraft contends it was blocked from the contract process.

Rights Group Asks Nigeria to End Boko Haram Terror Campaign
Voice of America
Human Rights Watch called on the Nigerian government Tuesday to take further steps to end what it called the "campaign of terror" by the militant Islamist sect Boko Haram.
The U.S.-based human rights group said Boko Haram is responsible for the deaths of at least 935 people since the beginning of its violent campaign in 2009, including 250 people in the first weeks of 2012. It said the majority of the attacks have been carried out in the northeastern Borno state, where the group is headquartered.

Lawmakers at March for Life Tell Obama Administration: ‘Abortion Is Not an American Value’
CNS News
Braving frigid temperatures and freezing rain, thousands of pro-life activists gathered at the National Mall on Monday to mark the anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling that legalized abortion nationwide and to hear members of Congress, who waited in line for their turn to criticize the Obama administration for its numerous anti-life policies.
The 39th annual March for Life ended at the steps of the Supreme Court where Roe v. Wade was decided on Jan. 22, 1973 – a ruling that has resulted in more than 50 million American children being killed by abortion.

Nothing ‘Anti-Muslim’ About Gingrich’s Comments on Shari’a, Says Anti-Islamist Muslim Activist
CNS News
Newt Gingrich’s stance on Islamic law (shari’a) is not “anti-Muslim” as charged by some Islamic critics, an American Muslim activist said Thursday.
Instead it is those critical of Gingrich – the Council of American Islamic Relations (CAIR) – whose actions and motivations should be examined, in the view of M. Zuhdi Jasser, an observant, anti-Islamist American Muslim who is founder and president of the non-profit American Islamic Forum for Democracy (AIFD).

CBO: ObamaCare-Like Programs Don’t Save Money or Reduce Costs
CNS News
Health care reform programs that are similar to those promoted by the ObamaCare law do not save the government money or reduce health care costs, according to a new report by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO).
The report examined 10 major demonstration projects conducted by Medicare in which managed care programs and value-based payment programs are evaluated. The two types of health care reforms are key features of ObamaCare – the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which became law in March 2010.
In the managed-care programs – where care-management companies were hired to coordinate care between doctors and patients with chronic diseases like diabetes, sending nurses to monitor whether patients were following doctor’s orders – the CBO found that the programs did not reduce costs enough to save the government money.

Obama Nixes Job-Creating Pipeline 11 Months After Launching Plan With Canada to Boost Growth on Both Sides of Border
CNS News
After three years of environmental review and a 60-day congressional deadline for a decision, the Obama administration on Wednesday nixed the Keystone XL pipeline project that would bring tar sand oil from Canada to the U.S. Gulf Coast.
The decision drew strong reaction from business and energy groups. Environmental groups oppose the pipeline, fearing the possibility of an oil spill.
In a statement, the State Department said it had recommended to President Obama that the permit be denied and that, “at this time,” the pipeline project “be determined not to serve the national interest.”

Gingrich delivers show-stopper at beginning of South Carolina debate

The four remaining GOP candidates played to their individual strengths on Thursday and tried to leave a lasting impression in a final, boisterous debate two days before South Carolina's pivotal primary. In a campaign cycle where debates have had direct consequences on the ebb and flow of the race, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich turned his contempt for the media into one of his strongest performances yet. When CNN Chief National Correspondent John King opened the debate with a question about open marriage, following an interview by Gingrich's ex-wife saying that he had sought one, the Republican chastised him.

A nuclear Iran could make it tougher for Israel to act against enemies closer to home, a senior Israeli military official said Tuesday, suggesting that regional fallout would be broad should Tehran achieve bomb making capabilities.
Military planning division chief Maj. Gen. Amir Eshel said if Tehran attains atomic weapons, that could constrain Israel from striking Iranian-backed Islamist groups in Lebanon and Gaza, Hezbollah and Hamas.
