(Christian Today) 20 Iraq Chaldean Christians who fled ISIS face prolonged detention in California — While the Obama Administration announced this week that it wants to increase the number of Muslim refugees from Syria it allows into the U.S. from 1,500 so far this year to nearly 10,000 starting in FY 2016 which begins next month.
Flashback: On the 01 May, I wrote here that the Obama Administration denied a visa to Sister Diana Momeka, a Dominican Nun that wanted to testify before Congress on behalf of persecuted Iraqi Christians while every representative of non–Christian groups had been granted visas to travel to Washington, DC

(ABC7 Los Angeles) The United States should be wary of the potential for ISIS operatives to infiltrate the flow of refugees into the West said Gen. John Allen, (USMC Ret) Obama’s ‘Special Envoy for the Global Coalition to Counter ISIS.’
“I think we should watch it. We should be conscious of the potential that ‘Daesh’ (ISIS) may attempt to embed agents within that population,” Gen. Allen said in an interview with Martha Raddatz, ABC News Chief Global Affairs Correspondent — Gen Allen added that he’s confident that the FBI and DHS will work, “very, very hard to prevent them from getting into the country.”
According to a September 2005 study by Janice Kephart, of 94 foreign-born terrorists who operated in the U.S. before and post-9/11:
- About 2/3 had committed immigration fraud–many of them multiple acts of immigration violations;
- In 17 instances terrorists claimed to lack the proper immigration documents and applied for political asylum;
- Fraud was used not only to gain entry into the U.S. but to remain (embedded) in the country.
The Obama Administration announced this week that it wants to increase the number of Syrian Refugees it allows into the United States from 1,500 so far this year to roughly 10,000 in FY 2016 which begins next month.
Iran’s Grand Islamic Wizard @Khamenei.ir Tweets Israel Will Never Know Peace and Will Cease to Exist in the Next 25 Years
(NY Times) Isn’t it ironic and scary that on the eve of September 11, Senate Democrats blocked a congressional resolution to reject Obama’s nuke deal with Islamic Fascist Iran after Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei said just two days before there will never be a “moment of serenity for Zionists” (Israel) and within the next 25 years, Israel will cease to exist.

Flashback: On the 25, July, 2014 I posted photos here of ISIS destruction of the Prophet Jonah’s Tomb in Iraq which received a little more than a whimper from Christians outraged over Obama’s disengagement foreign policy.
- Remember in 2009 when Obama said: “So let there be no doubt that Islam is part of America–Islam has a proud tradition of tolerance.”
- Remember in December when Hillary Clinton said that we must “empathize” with America’s enemies, of our Christian heritage, civilization and way of life.
On the 03 June, I wrote here that ISIS threatened to destroy Saint Matthew’s Monastery founded 363 in (present day Iraq) filled with Christians.
Where’s the moral outrage of Americans, demands on Obama and Congress to defeat these 21st century Islamic fascists?

(KPCC) More than 770,000 Seniors in California are not making enough to get by but are not considered poor enough by the Obama Administration, according to a UCLA health policy study challenging the definition of poverty in America.
According to the study brief released on Monday by the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research, about 340,000 California residents 65 or older are considered poor based on the Federal Poverty Level which makes them eligible for public assistance programs but in an analysis of 2009-2011 U.S. Census data the researchers concluded about 772,000 more Seniors in California could use help but are not considered ‘poor enough’ Imelda Padilla-Frausto, a graduate student researcher at the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research and lead author of the study said Monday.
“They don’t have enough income to meet a minimally decent standard of living,” — the ‘hidden poor’ made more than the 2011 poverty level which was $10,890 a year for someone living alone but their annual income was less than $23,364–the amount a Senior need to make ends meet according to the Elder Index which estimates the cost of living county-by-county raking into consideration how much one spends on housing, medical care, food and transportation.
Padilla-Frausto said the federal-poverty level is too rigid to measure whether people need assistance because it sets an across the board guideline (standard) no matter how expensive one state or area may be compared with the rest of the country.
The UCLA study found more single Seniors among the ‘hidden poor’ in rural areas such as Nevada, Plumas and Sierra Counties in Northern California–Imperial County has the highest percentage in the state. More than 40% of its elderly residents are living just above the federal poverty line but below the California Elder Index.
Grandparents raising their grandchildren and Seniors who have adult children living with them are more likely to be among the ‘hidden poor’ according to the UCLA study.

(LifeNews) In a victory for the the Pro-Life fight against the HHS mandate the U.S. 10th Circuit Ct of Appeals issued an Order today temporarily safeguarding the “Little Sisters of the Poor” and other ministries from violating their faith until the U.S. Supreme Court hears their case.
Without relief from the federal appellate court, the ‘Little Sisters” were facing millions of dollars in fines from the IRS.
