"...he played on our fears!"

John Coleman:

“The Weather Channel had great promise, and that’s all gone now because they’ve made every mistake in the book on what they’ve done and how they’ve done it and it’s very sad,” Coleman said. “It’s now for sale and there’s a new owner of The Weather Channel will be announced – several billion dollars having changed hands in the near future. Let’s hope the new owners can recapture the vision and stop reporting the traffic, telling us what to think and start giving us useful weather information.”

“[I] have a feeling this is the opening,” Coleman said. “If the lawyers will take the case – sue the people who sell carbon credits. That includes Al Gore. That lawsuit would get so much publicity, so much media attention. And as the experts went to the media stand to testify, I feel like that could become the vehicle to finally put some light on the fraud of global warming.”

Here's what Al Qaeda is saying about the death of Benazir Bhutto:

“We terminated the most precious American asset which vowed to defeat [the] mujahadeen,” Al-Qaeda’s commander and main spokesperson Mustafa Abu Al-Yazid told Adnkronos International (AKI) in a phone call from an unknown location, speaking in faltering English. Al-Yazid is the main al-Qaeda commander in Afghanistan.

It is believed that the decision to kill Bhutto, who is the leader of the opposition Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), was made by al-Qaeda No. 2, the Egyptian doctor, Ayman al-Zawahiri in October.

Death squads were allegedly constituted for the mission and ultimately one cell comprising a defunct Lashkar-i-Jhangvi’s Punjabi volunteer succeeded in killing Bhutto.

The U.S. is working to confirm the claims and the veracity of the message...

The whole Pat Robertson "endorsement" of Rudy Giuliani thing made me sick yesterday. Since when does the Christian community need kingmakers any more than the black community needs "civil rights" leaders to tell us what to think or how to vote? The truth is for me personally I have far more in common with the candidate who happens to be a Mormon than I do with the one who claims devout catholicism. I got crushed for requests to give my opinon on the endorsement, but I'd rather be the voice that presents biblical truth and empower you to come to your own conclusions about such things. 800.345.WMCA.

In an ideal world - abstinence programs don't belong in schools - nor do sex-ed programs of any kind. A new study concluded this week: "At present there does not exist any strong evidence that any abstinence program delays the initiation of sex, hastens the return to abstinence or reduces the number of sexual partners" among teenagers, the study concluded. The report, which was based on a review of research into teenager sexual behavior, was being released Wednesday by the nonpartisan National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy." But the failure is coming from only one place. The home! You feel guilty when your 13 year old daughter asks you where you were when you had sex the first time. Teens need to be able to talk to us about this more than anyone else - and yet - we put them in Christian schools, and send them to church, and all the rest and expect them to just "get it." It's the parent's fault that children are having sex! 800.345.WMCA.

You learn a lot about a person's character by the way they treat those who can do nothing for them. A presidential candidate for office, well to do, well known, is campaigning through Iowa, stops in a greasy spoon to have lunch. Engages the waitress to get her to tell them her life story. She works two jobs, single mother, very hard life. The waitress comps the lunch, the candidate leaves and goes and makes a speech using the waitress' story. The press come back to interview the waitress. She's dismayed - 'the candidate doesn't understand' - they didn't even leave a tip. I know that I personally in the past have been far too uncaring about those who serve me. My own tipping practices have changed greatly in recent years. But how we treat those who can do nothing for us - reveals how we can impact our world for Jesus Christ in a very powerful way. 800.345.WMCA.

As many adults believe in UFO's, ghosts, and the like - as are fans of America's pastime. They do so - because they seek to fill a spiritual void. Liberals are twice as likely to believe in such as conservatives. And Catholics and non-religious are the MOST likely to believe. CATHOLICS? Nearly half believe in ESP. Nearly one in four Americans believe they HAVE seen a ghost. I can never recall EVER having a discussion about this with anyone. Yet there are those instances that go unexplained. And evidently the phenomenon is growing. Seeking spiritual contact in an utterly Godless existence. The real dilemma is knowing how to respond to those who claim such. 800.345.WMCA.

Dr. Alveda King, the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., joins us to explain why she decided to relent and join Rev. Al Sharpton's "National Black Out Day" this coming November 2 - to repent and pray for the unborn children who are being executed every single day. Dr. King may also weigh in on the Obama/McClurkin dilemma. 800.345.WMCA.

Courts decide that underage sex for minors is not abusive, but that schools must report underage sex contact - under the age of 14 that is... Yeah... wishful thinking on that endeavor - we can't even get Planned Parenthood to report statutory rapes of girls by 27 year old men. kmc@wmca.com.

Eduardo Verastegui the leading man, producer, and visionary of the movie "Bella" that opens this weekend will join us with a look at the film that took the "People's Choice Award" at the Toronto Film Festival. (Of 5000 films submitted, only 300 get viewed, and only 1 wins this coveted title. It is also usually a precursor to the Oscars.)

Adults view children more as accessories - than people, thus the idea that "they won't give up their life" to fit them in - is now epidemic. Brangelina and their babes have moved to and fro such places as New York, New Orleans, Los Angeles, Chicago and Prague on top of reports they are searching for Spanish stomping grounds. "It would appear that they are attempting to have the children fit into their lifestyle as opposed to them amending their lifestyle to meet the needs of their children," said marriage and family therapist Sloane Veshinski. Some of the couples that run in my personal circle of friends REALLY, TRULY wrestle with the idea of how much of "life" they must do without once the children come. It breeds bad kids, it really is the product of a society that is "me' focused. And it DEhumanizes the children. 800.345.WMCA.

It irritates me to no end that people like Hillary Clinton claim to be so worried about the plight of women and children in the United States, yet seek to ignore one of the most important issues facing them. She believes that she will win the nomination because she will run away with the votes of women. But what will she do about the fact that Al Qaeda is operating in Northern New Jersey - just across the Hudson from New York City? And why is it that Al Qaeda would make places like Newark and Jersey City their hubs of operation? Do you think the "Sanctuary City" policies of these municipalities has anything to do with it? Just thinking/wondering out loud here... 800.345.WMCA.

Joel Osteen on 60 Minutes last night... My response. What is the Gospel according to Osteen? Do people really "know all the ways they've gone wrong?" Is a pastor allowed to say, "its not my gift" to avoid teaching scripture? And what was with the crying? 800.345.WMCA.

Is he the most socially conservative candidate in the GOP nomination for President? GOP Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney sits down to talk all things campaign. AND HE RESPONDS PUBLICLY to John McCain's weekend claims that he does not represent the "Republican wing of the Republican Party?"

Imagine the poor chaps you know who have been very unlucky in love. The guys who for a variety of reasons - have no place to go for holidays. Well their lives are being shortened and they are at higher risk of earlier death because they lack intimacy. Science thinks it has the answer. Robot marriage... Femme Fatales who won't nag, but just live their plastic lives out in service to you... And what about all those young men in China - where increasingly there are no women? 800.345.WMCA.

According to FoxNews Al Qaeda is operating in Northern New Jersey - just outside New York City:

"There are many people who are like-minded who want to commit acts of terrorism and have just not taken that extra step," Kevin Cruise, the director of the bureau's 100-member task force in Newark, N.J., told the Record, calling the individuals "facilitators."

Every major terrorist organization in the world, except the Taliban, has contacts in northern New Jersey, the paper reports.

Cruise declined to describe any case in detail; however, efforts to disrupt Usama bin Laden's network range from deportation to telling the suspects they are being watched.
