Homosexual influence = 'tyranny of the minority'

OneNewsNow

According to one researcher's findings, a small segment of the population seemingly has overwhelming influence over the rest of America.

California demographer Gary Gates has done the math and estimates that roughly four million adults claim they are homosexual, which equals about 1.7 percent of the population.

Matt Barber, vice president of Liberty Counsel Action, says the findings fly in the face of "the 'ten percent' myth -- that somehow ten percent of the population [is] gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender," which he points out has been touted by radical activists for decades. "This shoots a major hole through that propagandist nonsense," he decides.

Without Reforms, U.S. Funding for U.N. ‘Will Be in Jeopardy,’ Republicans Warn Obama

CNS News

The battle over funding for the United Nations is heating up in Congress, as U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice and U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon each visited Capitol Hill this week, pressing the U.N.’s biggest contributor to pay up, in full and on time.

The flurry of activity comes amid congressional initiatives aimed at withholding or cutting back on funding for the U.N.

H.R.1, a House-passed appropriations bill for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2011, includes significant cuts to international affairs spending. The Senate has not taken up that Republican-authored bill, however.

NBC’s Brokaw: Saudis ‘So Unhappy' With Obama They Sent Emissaries to China, Russia Seeking Enhanced Ties

CNS News

Reporting from Baghdad, Iraq yesterday, NBC’s Tom Brokaw said the Saudi Arabian monarchy is “so unhappy with the Obama administration for the way it pushed out President Mubarak of Egypt” that it has sent senior officials to the Peoples' Republic of China and Russia to seek expanded business opportunities with those countries.

After remarking on the difficulty of establishing democracy in the Middle East, Brokaw said that Defense Secretary Robert Gates “will face some tough questions in this region about the American intentions going on now with all this new turmoil, especially in an area where the United States has such big stakes politically and economically.”

“And a lot of those questions presumably will come from King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia,” reported Brokaw on the Nightly News. “I was told on the way in here that the Saudis are so unhappy with the Obama administration for the way it pushed out President Mubarak of Egypt that it sent high level emissaries to China and Russia to tell those two countries that Saudi Arabia now is prepared to do more business with them.”

Surgeons raise alarm over waiting

BBC News

Surgeons say patients in some parts of England have spent months waiting in pain because of delayed operations or new restrictions on who qualifies for treatment.

In several areas routine surgery was put on hold for months, while in many others new thresholds for hip and knee replacements have been introduced.

The moves are part of the NHS drive to find £20bn efficiency savings by 2015.

The government said performance should be measured by outcomes not numbers.

Surgeons have described the delays faced by patients as "devastating and cruel". Peter Kay, the president of the British Orthopaedic Association (BOA), says they've become increasingly frustrated that hip and knee replacements are being targeted as a way of finding savings.

Medicare Cost Would Rise for Many Under Ryan Plan

Wall Street Journal

The House Republican plan for overhauling Medicare would fundamentally change how the federal government pays for health care, starting a decade from now, likely resulting in higher out-of-pocket costs and greater limits to coverage for many Americans.

The current spending level on seniors in Medicare is widely viewed as unsustainable, given rising medical costs and the aging population. Medicare calculates that it spent an average of $11,743 on beneficiaries in 2009, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan's solution is to end the current Medicare program for people born in 1957 and after. Starting in 2022, when those Americans begin turning 65, they would no longer get their medical bills paid directly by the government, which the Wisconsin Republican in his blueprint released Tuesday calls an unsustainable "blank check commitment."

Judge’s Retraction Could Unravel Campaign to Send Israel to International Court

CNS News

A judge’s startling retraction of the most damaging aspects of a U.N. report he authored accusing Israel of war crimes could begin the unraveling of a process that the Palestinian Authority had hoped would land Israel before the International Criminal Court.

But first Judge Richard Goldstone will have to request that the U.N. Human Rights Council (HRC), which commissioned the fact-finding mission that resulted in his 575-page report, withdraw it.

Nuclear Energy Will Remain An Essential Energy Source, Says Obama

CNS News

Despite the nuclear crisis in Japan, nuclear energy will remain a safe and important source of electricity in the U.S., President Obama said on Wednesday. The stance puts himat odds with environmental activists.

“America gets one-fifth of our electricity from nuclear energy,” the president said in a speech at Georgetown University. “It has important potential for increasing our electricity without adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. But I’m determined to ensure that it’s safe.”

Obama said he has directed the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to conduct a thorough review of the 104 reactors in use throughout the U.S.

On March 15, Energy Secretary Steven Chu told a congressional panel that “the American people should have full confidence that the United States has rigorous safety regulations in place to ensure that our nuclear power is generated safely and responsibly.”

ECB FOCUS-Europe rates to lead U.S. as global power shifts

Reuters

After following the Federal Reserve's lead for over a decade, the European Central Bank is poised to launch a series of interest rate hikes before the U.S. central bank for the first time in the ECB's history.

The change from the traditional pattern reflects the ECB's greater preoccupation with inflation pressures, as well as its higher level of discomfort with the emergency bond-buying programmes run by central banks.

But the "decoupling" of ECB and Fed policies is also the result of an historic shift in the global economy: the increased influence that Asia, rather than the United States, is having on the euro zone's economy.

"I think we are in a new world where global interest rate cycles are not initiated by the Fed," said Jens Sondergaard, senior European economist at Nomura.

Obama’s Actions on U.S. Energy Production ‘Diametrically’ Opposed to His Rhetoric, Says Natural Resources Chairman

CNS News

President Barack Obama speaks a good game about expanding U.S. energy production but his actions contradict his words, said Rep. Richard “Doc” Hastings (R-Wash.), chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee, who added that Obama’s actions show he “is not in favor of expanding American energy production and creating American jobs.”

At a press conference on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, CNSNews.com asked Hastings, “Do you agree with Senator [James] Inhofe (R-Okla.) who recently said that higher gas prices are an explicit policy goal of the Obama administration?”

“Let’s put it this way,” Hastings said. “What I have observed during my time as chairman of the committee, is that actions speak louder than words, and that the president said on a number of occasions that he wants to expand American energy production.”

“But his actions are diametrically and 180 degrees opposite that,” said Hastings. “And I mentioned the reinstatement of the moratorium, for example, and the de facto moratorium on the Gulf of Mexico. Those are actions that suggest to me very clearly that this president is not in favor of expanding American energy production and creating American jobs.”

Middle East conflicts reveal media bias

OneNewsNow

A conservative media watchdog says mainstream television networks have shown a blatant double standard when it comes to the coverage of two major incursions under different presidents.

When President George W. Bush made the decision to invade Iraq in 2003, many in the media chastised him, even though he had prior congressional approval to authorize force based on reports that Saddam Hussein possessed "weapons of mass destruction."

However, when President Barack Obama recently ordered air strikes on Libya without congressional approval, the same media failed to challenge him, even reporting it was the right thing to do. Since the operations began last week, the consensus appears to be that Libya does not pose any national security risks for the U.S.

Rich Noyes (Media Research Center)Rich Noyes, director of research at the Media Research Center, says about the Libya situation: "When you listen to liberal reporters, they seem more excited about the fact that the United States is spending its treasure and risking the blood of its sons in something that has no national security implications for United States -- and yet this seems to be where liberals get most excited. They don't like it when we actually do have a security interest."

Teacher pushes true history in ethnic studies

OneNewsNow

A California university hosted a forum last week aimed at protecting ethnic studies on college campuses.

In the months since an Arizona law went into effect threatening to cut state funding to school districts that designed courses promoting certain ethnic groups, many Arizona teachers and students have been migrating through California schools to save ethnic studies in The Golden State.

On Wednesday, the "La Raza Tour: Save Ethnic Studies" landed at California State University - Fullerton, where students were informed of the importance of preserving Mexican-American studies. But Diane Lenning of Lenning School Watch tells OneNewsNow that schools cannot abandon the essential teachings of American history in order to accommodate ethnic studies.

Diane Lenning (Lenning School Watch)"I cannot stress enough how important it is to know the United States Constitution, your state Constitution, and our tri-level legal system," Lenning shares.

Obama strongly defends US military action in Libya

Associated Press

Defending the first war launched on his watch, President Barack Obama declared Monday night the United States intervened in Libya to prevent a slaughter of civilians that would have stained the world's conscience and "been a betrayal of who we are." Yet he ruled out targeting Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, warning that trying to oust him militarily would be a costly mistake.

Obama announced that NATO would take command over the entire Libya operation on Wednesday, keeping his pledge to get the U.S. out of the lead but offering no estimate on when the conflict might end.

He never described the U.S.-led military campaign as a "war" and gave no details on its costs, but he offered an expansive case for why he believed it was in the national interest of the United States and allies to act.

Obama hinders U.S. drilling, celebrates Brazil's

OneNewsNow

With the national average for gas prices hovering around $4 a gallon, President Barack Obama recently promised increased oil exploration and production to Brazil, vowing that the U.S. would be one of Brazil's "best customers."

Dan Kish of the Institute for Energy Research says it is a decision that is "very difficult to follow."

"We could use the jobs, we could use the energy security, and we could use the revenue that we're currently using to buy foreign oil," he explains, "and yet the government won't let us do that -- but he goes there celebrating the fact that they're doing it."

In an unusual, yet not entirely unexpected turn of events, one of the oil rig contractors involved in the Brazil exploration is Noble Corporation, which moved out of the Gulf of Mexico, citing a shortage of work in the moratorium, which has come to be known as the "permitorium."

"These big rigs need to be employed in gainful work [and] making money to pay off the loans that they use to build them," the IER spokesman says. "My guess is we'll lose more equipment to Brazil, because in Brazil they can get permits and drill. In the United States they can't."

Kish points out that the federal government has only allowed one-sixth of the companies that were drilling at the time of the BP Gult oil spill to go back to work.

Gold Replacing Dollar as World’s Reserve Currency?

CNBC

$105 per barrel oil. Cotton prices at record levels. Food prices at 2008 highs. Typically, such commodity price increases would send central banks running to the U.S. Dollar to secure the value of their savings. After all, the dollar has been the reserve currency since World War I.

But not this time.

Central banks are shedding dollars, reducing their holdings by about $9 billion in previous quarter, according to Nomura Securities’ Jens Nordvig, global head of G10 FX Strategy.

What are they buying instead? Gold.

The yellow metal hit a fresh record high this morning, while the dollar index dropped to a 15-month low. The news had Fast Money’s Brian Kelly looking to add more gold and silver longs to his portfolio Thursday morning.

CBO Sees Benefits in Taxing Motorists Based on Miles Driven

CNS News

A new Congressional Budget Office study says taxing motorists based on the number of miles they drive would be a fair and "efficient" way to charge motorists for the real cost of using the nation's highways. "Vehicle-miles traveled" taxes (or VMT taxes) also would provide a strong incentive for people to drive less.

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood floated the idea of a VMT tax one month after President Obama took office, but Obama’s spokesman immediately shot it down. "It is not and will not be the policy of the Obama administration," White House press secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters in February 2009.

Former Clinton Official Paid $26 Million by Fannie Mae Before Taxpayer Bailout Now on Obama Shortlist to Run FBI

CNS News

Jamie Gorelick, a former Clinton administration official who reportedly has made the Obama administration's short list to become the next director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), was paid more than $26 million in total compensation as a top executive at Fannie Mae--before taxpayers had to bail out the mortgage giant.

Gorelick, who left the Clinton Justice Department in 1997 to work for Fannie Mae CEO Franklin Raines, was paid $26,466,834 in salary, bonuses, performance pay and stock options from 1998 to 2003, according to the Report of the Special Examination of Fannie Mae (2006), conducted by the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight.

Anthony Weiner: Waiver might work for New York

Politico

Rep. Anthony Weiner said Wednesday he was looking into how a health law waiver might work for New York City.

Weiner, who is likely to run for mayor of New York, said that because of the city’s special health care infrastructure, his office was looking into alternatives that might make more sense. Weiner is one of the health care law’s biggest supporters; during the debate leading up to reform, he was one of the last holdouts in Congress for the public option.

“The president said, ‘If you have better ideas that can accomplish the same thing, go for it,’” said Weiner. “I’m in the process now of trying to see if we can take [President Barack Obama] up on it in the city of New York, … and I’m taking a look at all of the money we spend in Medicaid and Medicare and maybe New York City can come up with a better plan.”

Obama Administration Presses Its Homosexual ‘Rights’ Agenda on Other Nations

CNS News

The Obama administration is pressing the rest of the world to join the U.S. in “advancing the human rights of minorities and the marginalized,” a category that it says includes lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.

On Tuesday, the United States joined 84 other countries at the United Nations Human Rights Council in a joint commitment to end acts of violence and human rights abuses on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.

Terrorist attack in Jerusalem

Associated Press

Israeli police are blaming Palestinian terrorists for a bomb attack at a crowded bus stop in central Jerusalem. The blast occurred near the main entrance to Jerusalem and was heard throughout the city. At least one person is dead.

Yitzhak Aharonovich, Israel's minister of public security, says terrorists planted the one-kilogram (2-pound) device in a bag on the sidewalk. The blast blew out the windows of two crowded buses. Rescuers were removing bloodied people from the area on stretchers.

Authorities say about 25 people were wounded, several critically, in Wednesday's attack. State-run Israel Radio says a woman has died from the blast.
