Palin Energizing Women From All Walks of Life

LEBANON, Ohio, Sept. 9 -- Susie Baron is a Republican, a mother of two and a home-schooler. She voted for Mike Huckabee in the Ohio primary, but now -- because of Sarah Palin -- she thinks she is part of something much bigger.

"I wouldn't even call it a Palin movement, I'd call it a sleeping giant that has been awakened," Baron, 56, said at a rally here Tuesday. She described its members as a silent majority of women in Middle America who "are raising our families, who work if we have to, but love our country and our families first."

"And until now, we haven't had anyone to identify with," Baron said, adding that traditional feminist groups such as the National Organization for Women do "not represent me."

Media is anti-Christian, says Sky News reporter

David Blevins, Sky News reporter, says evangelical Christianity is often "dismissed out of hand" by journalists.

Journalists select the information they wish to report based on a largely anti-Christian ideology, says David Blevins, a former Washington correspondent for Sky News.more....

US Is "More Communist than China": Jim Rogers
The nationalization of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac shows that the U.S. is "more communist than China right now" but its brand of socialism is meant only for the rich, investor Jim Rogers, CEO of Rogers Holdings, told CNBC Europe on Monday.

"America is more communist than China is right now. You can see that this is welfare of the rich, it is socialism for the rich… it's just bailing out financial institutions," Rogers said.

Stock markets jumped after the U.S. government's decision to launch what could be its biggest federal bailout ever, in a bid to support the housing market and ward off more global financial market turbulence.

But Rogers said in the long term the move spelled trouble.

"This is madness, this is insanity, they have more than doubled the American national debt in one weekend for a bunch of crooks and incompetents. I'm not quite sure why I or anybody else should be paying for this," Rogers told "Squawk Box Europe."more....

The Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem

JERUSALEM – Not one but two terrorist organizations now are broadcasting Islamic prayer services live from the Temple Mount – Judaism's holiest site.

Yesterday, WND broke the story Hamas' official Al Aqsa TV has for the past week broadcast from the Temple Mount's Al Aqsa Mosque the Tarawih prayers, or additional nightly prayers recited during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

Ramadan started last week. The Tarawih prayers include recitation of parts of the Quran and take about an hour.

Jerusalem Police spokesman Shmulik Ben Ruby told WND yesterday the police took "some measures" to ensure the Hamas transmissions from the Temple Mount were halted. He wouldn't specify which measures were put into action....more....

Despite brutal and horrifying persecution that has left countless dead and an estimated 50,000 homeless, Christians in India's Orissa state are determined that God will have the victory in their violence-torn homeland.

Since the assassination of anti-Christian Hindu leader Swami Laxamanananda Saraswat on Aug. 22, mobs of Hindu fanatics that blame Christians for the leader's death have been roving the Orissa state on the eastern shore of India, torching churches and homes, brutalizing Christians and burning the bodies of those they kill.

Reports from missions organization Gospel for Asia (GFA), however, tell of courage and determination in the face of violence.

One story reported on Christian Newswire told of a missionary beaten multiple times by a Hindu mob demanding he leave a village where he had been working.more....
