US to use foreign aid to promote gay rights
Associated Press
The Obama administration is announcing a wide-ranging effort to use U.S. foreign aid to promote rights for gays and lesbians abroad, including combating attempts by foreign governments to criminalize homosexuality.
In a memorandum issued Tuesday, President Barack Obama directed U.S. agencies working abroad, including the State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development, to use foreign aid to assist gays and lesbians who are facing human rights violations. And he ordered U.S. agencies to improve protections for gay and lesbian refugees and asylum seekers.

Egypt Islamists threaten demos if poll fraud foun
AFP
The Muslim Brotherhood, the biggest winner in the first round of Egypt's elections, has threatened to take to the streets if there is any attempt to manipulate results.
The group, a moderate Islamist movement banned for decades under the rule of deposed autocrat Hosni Mubarak, gained 36.6 percent of votes cast on November 28-29 for parties in a new lower house of parliament.
"We will take to the streets if there is any cheating in the elections or manipulation of the constitution," its leader Mohammed Badei told Egyptian television in comments reported by the press on Tuesday.

Critics See ‘Blame Israel’ Mindset in U.S. Envoy’s Remarks on Anti-Semitism
CNS News
The White House is distancing itself from remarks by an American ambassador and 2008 Obama campaign fundraiser suggesting that hatred of Jews was linked to Israeli actions, but some critics said the comments align with a “blame Israel” mentality in the administration.
Republican presidential candidates Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney said Sunday President Obama should fire U.S. Ambassador to Belgium Howard Gutman, and several U.S. Jewish organizations also are calling for him to be rebuked or recalled.

Sessions: Foreign Lawsuits against States’ Immigration Policies ‘Baffling’
CNS News
Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) called foreign lawsuits against the illegal immigration policy of his state and others “baffling.”
Alabama enacted a tough enforcement law to crack down on illegal aliens. It is similar to the Arizona law passed in 2010. South Carolina passed a tough enforcement law set to take effect in January 2012. The Justice Department has taken legal action against all these states, and 16 foreign countries joined the lawsuits against the three states.
“I do find that baffling almost that a foreign country thinks that they should decide what powers a state has to enact legislation consistent with federal law,” Sessions told CNSNews.com.

White House Aide: Obama Should Concentrate on Transgender Issues ‘In Whatever Time We Have Left’
CNS News
President Obama “has been pretty clear” in his support for big-ticket items on the homosexual activist agenda – like trying to repeal the "so-called" federal Defense of Marriage Act -- according to a top White House liaison to the LGBT community.
But now, “in whatever time we have left” in office, the White House has an opportunity to concentrate on lesser-known items on the LGBT activist agenda – including HIV/AIDS and helping homeless transgendered teens, Gautam Raghavan, associate director of the White House Office of Public Engagement, said Tuesday night.

Weekly Jobless Claims Jump Back Over 400,000 Mark
CNBC
Claims for unemployment insurance unexpectedly rose last week, climbing past the psychologically important 400,000 mark as the jobs market showed signs of more weakness.
Weekly applications for unemployment benefits rose 6,000 to a seasonally adjusted 402,000, the Labor Department said Thursday. Applications had been below 400,000 for three straight weeks.
The four-week average, a less volatile measure, was mostly unchanged at slightly below 400,000.

Palestinians Try to Resurrect a U.N. Resolution They Violently Rejected 64 Years Ago
CNS News
As the U.N. Tuesday marked its annual day of “solidarity” with the Palestinian cause, the Palestine Liberation Organization took the opportunity once again to promote a 1947 U.N. resolution that divided the territory between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River into a Jewish state and an Arab one.
Palestinian leaders periodically try to resurrect U.N. General Assembly resolution 181 – also known as the Partition Plan -- in support of their demands for territory and control over Jerusalem.

Consulate's ID cards = confusion
OneNewsNow
One conservative says a California city's decision to accept identification cards of illegal immigrants issued by the Mexican consulate creates confusion.
Law enforcement officials in San Francisco have announced that illegal aliens who are caught violating minor traffic offenses may not be deported. Local officials adopted a policy that allows law enforcement to accept "matricula consular" ID cards -- identification issued to Mexican citizens by the Mexican consulate. Prior to the policy, illegal immigrants who were pulled over for minor traffic offenses in the region were often deported.

Medicare Meltdown? Doctors Face Steep Cuts Unless Congress Acts by Jan. 1
Associated Press
It's become a symbol of sorts for the federal government's budget dysfunction: Unless Congress acts before Jan. 1, doctors will again face steep Medicare cuts that threaten to undermine health care for millions of seniors and disabled people.
This time it's a 27.4 percent cut. Last year, it was about 20 percent. The cuts are the consequence of a 1990s budget law that failed to control spending but was never repealed. Congress passes a temporary fix each time, only to grow the size of reductions required next time around. Last week's supercommittee breakdown leaves the so-called "doc fix" unresolved with time running out.

Iran says missile base blast was not caused by Israeli intelligence
The Guardian
Iran has insisted that an explosion that killed the architect of its missile programme was not carried out by Israel or the US, despite widespread reports that it was the work of the Israeli secret service, the Mossad.
On Saturday a huge blast at the Alghadir missile base at Bid Ganeh, 30 miles to the west of Tehran, killed 17 of the country's elite revolutionary guards, including Major General Hassan Tehrani Moghaddam, a senior commander described as the pioneer of the regime's missile programme.

Gallup poll: 47% of Americans favor repealing 2010 healthcare law
Los Angeles Times
Healthcare reform remains a highly partisan divide, but more Americans want to repeal the Obama administration’s 2010 overhaul than want to leave it alone, according to a Gallup poll released Wednesday.
The latest poll, which comes the same week that the Supreme Court announced it will look at the law’s constitutionality, shows that 47% of Americans want to do away with what opponents have dubbed Obamacare, while 42% want it kept in place. The breakdown is similar to an October Gallup poll that showed 40% of Americans backing passage of the healthcare law, while 48% said it was a bad thing.

Attack on Iran could risk Gulf oil supplies
The Washington Times
Iran is contemplating violently shutting down shipping in the Persian Gulf as one of several counterattack options if Israel strikes its nuclear facilities, regional and intelligence analysts say. Such attacks would present the Obama administration with the option of undertaking a limited war against Iran by striking its warships and shore-based anti-ship missiles to keep the Gulf open for business.

Supreme Court agrees to hear Obama healthcare law
Reuters
The Supreme Court agreed on Monday to decide the fate of President Barack Obama's healthcare law, with an election-year ruling due by July on the healthcare system's biggest overhaul in nearly 50 years.
The decision had been widely expected since late September, when the Obama administration asked the nation's highest court to uphold the centerpiece insurance provision and 26 states separately asked that the entire law be struck down.

Balanced Budget Amendment Without Spending Cap Will Lose GOP Senate Votes, Says Sen. Lee
CNS News
Sen. Mike Lee of Utah, who is the sponsor of a balanced budget amendment that caps spending at 18 percent of Gross Domestic Product and requires two-thirds majorities in both houses of Congress to increase taxes, says he believes that a balanced budget amendment that does not include those two provisions would lose Republican votes in the Senate.
As of now, all 47 Republican senators support Lee’s balanced budget amendment with its cap on spending and supermajority requirement for tax increases.

Analyst: Occupiers' stereotypes wrong
OneNewsNow
An author and analyst of domestic policies says the Occupy Wall Street movement is wrong about bankers, hedge-fund managers, and taxes.
The Occupy movement says the rich are getting richer and banks and hedge-fund managers are partly to blame for the economy because they are not paying their fair share of taxes. Those claims have won the support of sports and entertainment figures, as well as that of President Barack Obama. In an article for the New York Post, however, Michael Tanner of the Cato Institute says each of these stereotypes is wrong.
"The rich have most of their money tied up in investments, and since the recession hit, the stock market has not done particularly well," he explains. "And that means the rich have lost a great deal of money. In fact, according to a new study by The Tax Foundation, we've actually been shedding millionaires and billionaires in this country. We have considerably fewer than we had in 2007."

Nigerian Christians 'deliberately targeted'
OneNewsNow
Despite previous reports, a human rights organization for religious freedom says a recent bloody attack in Nigeria was not directed at the government.
At least 150 lives were lost in the northern Nigeria attack, and Jonathan Racho of International Christian Concern (ICC) says Christians were the deliberate target.
"The press painted this as another attack targeting the police, whereas our investigation reveals that the majority of the victims are Christians who were deliberately targeted because of their faith," he reports.

Grassley: Obama's Immigration ‘Policies Are at Odds with the Rule of Law’
CNS News
Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa, the ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said on Thursday that the Obama administration's immigration polices are contrary to the rule of law.
“It’s well past time that the administration come to its senses and realize that their policies are at odds with the rule of law that our country was founded on,” Grassley said. “They must wake up and change their ways before it’s too late.”
Grassely also said it was “unfortunate” that the Senate Judiciary Committee learned about the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) new policy of curbing routine checks for illegal aliens at transportation hubs along the northern border from an Associated Press news story.

7-in-10 Blame Economy for Hiring Freeze
US News
The Obama economy is so bad that 77 percent of small business owners do not plan to hire any more workers despite all of Washington's hype that the business climate is getting better. Worse: 64 percent of small business owners in a new survey provided to Whispers see the nation teetering on the verge of another recession.
Most shocking of all in the survey of small and medium sized business owners is that many would like to hire more workers but can't, and new financing rules imposed by hurting banks have made getting loans sharply more difficult than in the past.

Freddie Mac reports Q3 loss, asks for $6B in aid
Associated Press
Government-controlled mortgage giant Freddie Mac has requested $6 billion in additional aid after posting a wider loss in the third quarter.
Freddie Mac said Thursday that it lost $6 billion, or $1.86 per share, in the July-September quarter. That compares with a loss of $4.1 billion, or $1.25 a share, in the same quarter of 2010.
This quarter's $6 billion request from taxpayers is the largest since April 2010.

Meese: Balanced Budget Amendment Will Backfire Unless It Curbs Spending, Taxes, Courts
CNS News
Edwin Meese, who served as attorney general under President Ronald Reagan, told CNSNews.com on Friday that adding a balanced budget amendment to the U.S. Constitution will backfire unless the amendment caps federal spending, requires supermajorities in Congress to raise taxes and restricts the ability of judges to preempt the elected branches in determining federal taxing and spending laws.
“A weak Balanced Budget Amendment--without certain safeguards and protections against excessive taxation and excessive spending--would be worse than the situation we have at the present time,” Meese said in a videotaped interview at the Heritage Foundation.
