Dr. Robert Sumner passed away in December 2016. The Biblical Evangelist newspaper is no longer being published and the ministry of Biblical Evangelism has ceased operation. The remaining inventory of his books and gospel tracts was transferred to The Baptist Tabernacle of Los Angeles and may be ordered here. Off the Cuff - Part 4 We were hoodwinked. When Miley Cyrus hit the charts as an innocent early teen, we were sold a bill of goods about what a dedicated Christian she was. Here’s the latest: “… being Miley these days includes drinking, giving men lap dances, wearing barely-there outfits and smoking on a bong. Can she please go back to being Hannah Montana again?”… Put this in your “you gotta be kidding” file: since both Good Friday and Earth Day fell on the same date last April, the Episcopal Church suggested mingling the two. Somehow, I am offended that anyone would try to equate working to reduce bad emissions with the crucifixion of Christ. The former is not “another sort of crucifixion,” as the Episcopalians indicated. Not only are the two not in the same ball park, they are not worthy of mention in the same sentence… Last year Florida minister Terry Jones was going to burn the Koran. We said it wasn’t a wise move. Others said the same and he eventually called it off. Alas, last March he held a mock trial for the Koran for "crimes against humanity," ruled it “Guilty,” then lit his torch and burned it. As expected, riots broke out in Muslim countries and in Afghanistan jihadists killed over a score and injured hundreds. There are much, much better ways to protest Islam… Giving aid and comfort to the enemy! Some churches in New York are renting their buildings to Muslims for Friday prayers (while the latter’s mosques are being built)… Not so innocent spice: Good for cooking but not getting cooked. Called spice, it is a new ‘high’ for idiots. Legally available, it can cause “anxiety, paranoia, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, vomiting, seizures and other nasty health problems.” It can lead to “a loss of impulse control and a serious psychological need for more.” This synthetic cannabinoid (originally designed to mimic marijuana effects for medical research) also comes labeled as incense… I guess Malaysia is against evangelism. Officials there want all incoming Bibles stamped "Christians Only" with their own official stamp... In a Baptist Press report on Billy Graham it said he “looks forward to weekly visits by his pastor, Dr. Don Wilton of the First Baptist Church of Spartanburg, S.C.” I thought he was a member of First Baptist in Dallas? I guess he learned long-distance membership has its disadvantages, especially when you get old and feeble… Baptist Press tells us the 20-year-old Daytona 500 winner, Trevor Bayne, is “an outspoken Christian” who is not afraid to testify for Christ. He talked to ESPN about using his winnings to help with missionary work. Pray for him; he’ll need it… As an ex-Newt Gingrich fan I was interest in how he explained his cheating on his first two wives. He told David Brody of the Christian Broadcasting Network, "There's no question at times of my life, partially driven by how passionately I felt about this country, that I worked far too hard and things happened in my life that were not appropriate." As Doug Patton observed, that even beats “the dog ate my homework”… Economist Thomas Sowell on unions: “The biggest myth about labor unions is that unions are for the workers. Unions are for unions, just as corporations are for corporations and politicians are for politicians.” And to illustrate, he referenced the so-called "Employee Free Choice Act," a total misnomer… Like father, like son: Jesse Jackson, Jr., went on the House floor (apparently it was one of those “only one here is me and my cameraman”) to promote adding certain “basic rights” to the Constitution. He wants the right for every person to have (as entitlements) a decent home, an iPod, and a laptop – at least for starters. Incredible, right?... A word to Jesse and other kindred-minded black folks: The first thing you ought to do every morning after you rise and the last thing you should do every night before retiring, is thank God your ancestors were brought to this country as slaves! Instead of thinking as descendents of slaves “the world owes me a living so give me, give me, give me,” rejoice in the heritage that brought you freedom and a chance to be all that you can be!... A church in Portland (OR) we read about should be planning its funeral. In a mainline denomination, back in the ’60s and ’70s it had 300 members. Today it has 50 and the average age is 79… Need a new god? In Cambodia folks are worshiping a calf born with “reptilian skin” (thick, dark, and scaly like a crocodile). The fact that it only lived three days is no deterrent to the deceived. Yim Rith, a community leader in Damnak Sangke, said his people have for centuries worshiped a Cow God (it brings peace and prosperity, he said). The area is poverty stricken (it figures)… Or maybe you’d like to move to Malaysia where Muslim men can have four wives (not one at a time like Muslim Cassius Clay, who went on to Sufism), but all at once. They now have a “Polygamy Club” to assist would-be polygamists… Speaking of marriage nuts, the cultist Sun Myung Moon of the Unification Church recently performed an “around the world” mass wedding ceremony for 45,000 at Sun Moon University in Asan, South Korea – about 25,000 were present and another 20,000 “tuned in” for the rites around the world… Good news for KJVOnly fans! Joe Smith’s false cult, the Church of the Latter-day Saints, known as Mormonism, has decided to make the KJV its official text. Although Joe said it was trustworthy only as it was accurately translated, all doubts have now been tossed overboard. So says Philip Barlow, author of Mormons and the Bible; he credits J. Reuben Clark, a Mormon leader in the mid-20th century, with starting the trend… According to the latest Gallop Poll, Obama’s popularity rating has fallen in every state. Not to worry, Obama fans, he will trot out trillions in gifts to every state – that neither he nor we taxpayers have – shortly before election time… Alan Colmes, who went from a prominent position on Fox News to being a bit player, said this recently: "The Tea Party was a bunch of angry white guys who went around and put up racist signs at these events ... who had nothing better to do on weekends than sit on lawn chairs with signs suggesting Obama was a Muslim who wasn't born in this country." My, my Alan, what rally did you attend? I’ve never seen any “racist signs” at a T.P. rally. Perhaps you attended a KKK rally by mistake… Headline in The Wall Street Journal: “Stimulus Spending Doesn’t Work.” We didn’t need a newspaper to tell us that… The political left called George W. Bush a destroyer of constitutional freedoms, a torturer, and a villain from the novel 1984 for Guantanamo Bay. One of the loudest critics, Barack Obama, after being humiliated trying to try one of the inmates in New York, announced the military tribunals would resume again, apparently in Gitmo, including 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (he has a minimum of 50 aliases)… Christopher Hitchens, in spite of the first part of his given name, is the militant atheist who wrote God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything. At a dinner in Portland he was asked by a reporter “If he held ‘religion’ accountable for all the bad done in its name, shouldn’t he give credit for the good?” No, he scoffed, “anything good done in the name of religion isn’t really religious.” How is that for inane logic? The reporter concluded Hitchens was a victim of circular reasoning. Then, again, maybe he is just deceived by Satan and has no reasoning on the subject... Our Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, said: "The term Muslim Brotherhood is an umbrella term for a variety of movements. In the case of Egypt, it is a largely secular group." And he’s the head of our national intelligence?... China says it may drop its policy of nearly a third of a century allowing couples only one child in its cities (rurals may have two) if the first is a girl. But failure to obey will still result in forced abortions and sterilizations... The current battle of the budget in Washington could be eased considerably if our lawmakers agreed to cut the billions we are now sending to the nations of the world (no country is left out). Currently we hand out some $50 billion to nations that, for the most part, hate our guts and would do anything to destroy us… Columnist Burt Prelutsky may have something here: "[I]t's high time the 26th amendment was repealed. If 70 is the new 60, and 60 is the new 50, it's fair to say that 18 is the new eight. Giving the vote to a bunch of brats who are still collecting an allowance, thus allowing them to cancel out the votes of their elders is inane. The sad irony is that the only youngsters who deserve to vote are members of the military, and they're the ones whose ballots are least likely to be counted"… The church that gave us "Facing the Giants" and "Fireproof" (Sherwood Baptist, Albany, GA) has a new film in the works to be released September 30, "Courageous"... Bristol Palin, Sarah’s daughter, had been invited to Washington University in St. Louis for its “Sexual Responsibility Week,” of all things. She got uninvited when students protested, one blogger calling it “Welcome to the Idiocracy!” I have no problem with taking Bristol off, but I do have that Planned Parenthood was left on the program… In 2000 the cost to taxpayers for funding the state’s pension fund in New York was $100 million. A decade later it is $1.5 billion … Part of the problem is NY employees contribute a mere 3% to their pensions (half of what most in other states do) and are currently allowing some 2,000 to “double dip”… Good news about your e-mails! The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled they are protected under the 4th Amendment’s prohibition on “search and seizure” even though on an Internet provider’s server. The government must obtain a warrant to obtain them just as in any other area… Sodomite marriage will be on the president’s agenda soon. Although he campaigned against it, he now says he is ‘rethinking’ the matter. David Brock, who founded Equality Matters, promises he’ll "expose right-wing bigotry and homophobia wherever we find it" and "stiffen the spines of progressives." In short, he’s going after Bible believers. You may remember Obama was ‘for’ it before he was ‘against’ it (as an Illinois senator)… The trend continues: A prominent SBC work, Two Rivers Baptist Church in Nashville, dropped "Baptist" from its name in March; it is now "Fellowship at Two Rivers"... A Bill Clinton appointee, U.S. District Judge G. Thomas Porteous, had the “honor” of being the eighth federal judge in our nation’s history to be successfully impeached and removed from the bench. Charges included “accepting cash and favors from attorneys stemming from drinking and gambling problems, as well as lying to Congress at his confirmation hearings, and filing for bankruptcy under a false name”… Did you realize when you got out of bed this morning that before you go to bed tonight your share of the national debt would increase by $2.32? For everyone, it is going up $720 million per day… Gas at the pump has jumped 67% since Obama took office. One of the answers, which he ignores, is drilling oil and gas in America’s own fields. We have an abundance… A little humor: A doctor in Manhattan thought he had thieves fooled. He put a sign on his car window: “Radio Already Stolen. No CD Player or Valuables.” One day he returned to his car to find a note on the back window: “Now, No Spare Tire”… Remember the late night comedian jokes and the raucous jeers from the left when the “Just Say ‘No’ Abstinence” campaign was launched? Well, the latest survey (15-24 age group) shows 29% of the females and 27% of males report being virgins. That is an increase of 29% since “Say No” was inaugurated… Oh, yes, during the same period teen pregnancies are down a whopping 40%... Actor Charlie Sheen obviously belongs in a mental institution where he cannot harm himself or others. But we watched videos of a mob seemingly even more deranged: the union thugs in Wisconsin who lost their open door to the state treasury… The United Methodists' General Board of Church & Society asked its members to have an "Alcohol Free Lent" and give the money usually spent to the church's fund to help addicts. "Instead of a cocktail before dinner, drink water and put $6 into a Spirit Fund jar; instead of a glass or two of wine at night, put $7 in the fund; instead of a cooler of beer while watching basketball, have soft drinks and invest the $24 in the jar." But why not have alcohol free the other 325 days of the year and really save?... The Sodomite mayor of Portland (OR), Sam Adams, admitted “sleeping” with a teenage boy. His confession was only for lying about it, not the sex (which he insisted was not wrong). Twice a ‘recall’ attempt on Adams failed for lack of signatures. You could say, folks there deserve what they’ve got… Radio host Rush Limbaugh got it right: "Unionizing teachers, unionizing state employees is not about better teachers. It's not about better employees. It's about more power for the Democrat Party. It's about institutionalized Democrat Party membership as state and federal workers and employees. How could you get them more loyal to the government than to make ’em union members?"… President Obama wants $53 billion over the next six years for high-speed rail. Would I like a train that traveled 250 mph? Of course! Would it be good for an economic climate that is already in the tank? I don’t think so… It’s getting rough: Democrat Congressman Michael Capuano (MA), who wants to be a senator, speaking to a crowd of the union faithful, stirred them to wild enthusiasm by declaring, “Every once and awhile you need to get out on the streets and get a little bloody when necessary.” Yes, he’s the same Capuano who charged conservative talk shows with using language that caused the Tucson shootings… Further proof California is a land of fruits and nuts: A state senator there, Mark Leno, has introduced a bill to force public schools to feature Sodomites and transsexuals as positive role models. Leno founded a business with his significant other, Doug Jackson, who later died of AIDS complications. Mark hasn’t died yet… We mentioned the mess at Belmont College in our last issue and the administrative decision to be “gender free” in admissions, faculty, etc. Well, now the school has announced its first Sodomite student organization (one turned down twice before). A host of other ‘evangelical’ colleges are also facing turmoil over this issue that is so clear in the Word of God… No ‘cost of living’ increase for seniors on Social Security. Congress said we couldn’t afford it, although they increased the fee seniors pay Medicare to $104.20. Oh, by the way, did you know the boys and girls in Congress gave themselves a $3,000 ‘cost of living’ increase?... When your editor was a teen, the joke about college was that it was a four-year loaf on daddy’s dough. There might be more truth than poetry in that today. A writer in our local paper quoted researcher Stuart Rojstaczer: “After two years in college, 45 percent of students showed no significant gains in learning; after four years, 36 percent showed little change.” That doesn’t make America’s future look so hot, does it?... The late Fred Astaire once remarked: "The hardest job kids face today is learning good manners without seeing any." Alas. And it is even worse in our day... Okay, all you Sodomites, maybe you ought to become Roman Catholics (I see no harm in changing labels on empty bottles). A group called “Priests for Biblical Equality” have come out with a new Bible translation. Called The Inclusive Bible: The First Egalitarian Translation, it was produced in conjunction with another crowd called “Catholics Speak Out,” who say on their web: “We support gender equality, including ordination for women; the civil rights of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender persons; and advocate for an end to the rule of celibacy for Catholic clergy.” At least we can agree with the last clause… By the way, in this new version Jesus is never called “Lord.” It is “to avoid sexist and classist connotations”… Sue me, will you? As you know, the inept justice department of our country sued Arizona for trying to safeguard its borders. Now Governor Brewer and the state of Arizona is countersuing the feds for failure to enforce immigration laws and guard its Mexican border – causing an “invasion” of illegals, resulting in a breaking of the state’s bank. Janet Napolitano, our Homeland Security Secretary, is perhaps the most inept of all our inept government officials. The last annual cost in the matter was $135 million, of which the feds only repaid Arizona $10 million… All you global warming fans: last January was the coldest January in this country since 1994. But don’t worry, the cycle will return – it always has since records have been kept. It will start warming again and Al can get back on his lucrative stump… The Obama administration said it supported a seat at the table for the radical Muslim Brotherhood (did you know Osama bin Laden was a member?) in reforming the Egyptian government. This outfit of thugs and killers would make Hitler look good as president of Germany… What happened to the ‘Pledge to America’ the Republicans made prior to the last elections: “We will put government on a path to a balanced budget and pay down the debt with a plan to … Cut government spending to pre-stimulus, pre-bailout levels saving at least $10 billion in the first year alone”… Watching TV can be a killer according to Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association. It reported Australian researchers found that every hour spent in front of the boob tube “was associated with an 11 percent increased risk of death from all causes, a nine percent increased risk of cancer death, and an 18 percent increased risk of death related to cardiovascular disease.” Dr. David Dunstan explained, “For many people, on a daily basis they simply shift from one chair to another – from the chair in the car to the chair in the office to the chair in front of the television.” Actually, any sedentary lifestyle can get you… If you can believe The Seattle Times, one of every 10 teens admits (based on a poll of 1,000 kids) posting nude or seminude shots of themselves or others on line (it's called “sexting”). Why? One teen said, “They do it to get guys to like them.” But how can they like themselves later?... The student publication of Cedarville University, Cedars, featured a cover picture of two football behemoths, #61 and #27 (today that would be a guard and a back), and underneath it said: Undefeated Since 1953. Wow! The catch is, as anyone familiar with the university should know, the school hasn’t fielded a team since 1953. The moral: those who are not involved in Christian battles don’t get defeated, but neither do they win… "Staycation" is what many are describing as their vacation plans this summer. Rising prices everywhere – not just at the pump – are causing many to stay home and celebrate with family. Maybe that’s good!… While MSNBC is not exactly a conservative outlet, it still comes up with some really scary views. Take its Lawrence O'Donnell for example. While letting loose a tirade against a FoxNews anchor who had quoted the New Testament’s Book of the Revelation, this ignoramus who thinks he is wise beyond his years, explained about the Bible’s 66th book that it is really a work of fiction that no intelligent person believes to be true. He used his enormous well of wisdom to explain it teaches God is a malicious torturer and mass murderer and suggested that he, O’Donnell, ought to call his own program, “This is Not the End of the World Show with Lawrence O’Donnell!”… In 2008 a fellow named Steven Chu declared, "Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe." Then Obama became president and Chu is now our energy secretary!... To hear “the Donald” tell it, he is a religious guy. In a Human Events interview, he enthused, “I am a Presbyterian within the Protestant group and I go to church as much as I can,” adding for emphasis, “And I am a believer … Now I don’t know if that makes me conservative or not, but I am a believer.” He is also a politician who thinks he might enjoy living in the White House with his latest wife… Washington State just ended its first full year of playing God and reported it killed 51 people via physician-assisted suicide in 2010... Ah, those Muslims are so nice and friendly, a real religion of peace. In Ethiopia, Baptist Press says, they have "killed at least one Christian and wounded several others ... [they also] have burned down 69 church buildings, 30 Christian homes, a Bible school, a Christian orphanage and a church office"... Does this make you feel safe? After our administration repeatedly blowing it about the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, CIA Director Leon Panetta went before a Congressional committee after a week or two of turmoil on Cairo’s streets to say, "There is a strong likelihood that [President] Mubarak may step down this evening," also predicting it would hopefully provide an “orderly transition in Egypt." Neither was correct and it turns out his ‘source’ was ‘watching events on television!’ The fact that Mubarak resigned the next day is immaterial… The Obama administration recently sold Saudi Arabia a $60 billion arms package. Obama said it was so they could defend themselves against Iran. The fact that Israel is just down the street was a coincidence?... How to get rid of your wife and kids? Just smoke at home a lot! You’ve heard of secondhand smoke, but what about thirdhand? While the Surgeon General estimates secondhand smoke causes 50,000 deaths a year, new studies show that long after you think smoke is gone, “cellulose” is still around; that is “a material present in many household objects” caused by cigarette smoke and then nitrous acid, a molecule found in the air… Actress Jane Russell, the lady that died at the end of February was a) an energetic, active conservative in politics; b) a World War II pinup and Hollywood star; c) a lifelong Republican; d) very religious, although I don’t know whether her friendship with Billy Graham changed her S-DA roots… Actress Elizabeth Taylor, who discarded husbands like used Kleenex, stepped into eternity to face God in March. Nothing about her press releases indicated she was involved in anything religious. The New York Times said she was only 79… Well, the Supremes finally ruled in the case of Fred Phelps and his hatemongers at Westboro Baptist. The father of Marine Matthew Snyder lost and Phelps and his obnoxious yelpers won. It was not altogether a surprise since the Constitution clearly declares free speech for all citizens. The vote was 8-1 and the dissenter was Justice Samuel Alito who noted it wasn’t necessary for the protesters to go to a funeral; they “could have gone to the White House, the U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon or the Supreme Court” rather than disrupting a family’s private funeral. That makes sense to me. Alito added, “Our profound national commitment to free and open debate is not a license for the vicious verbal assault that occurred in this case." We agree… You gotta be kidding! No, this is the truth. One of those radical Islamic nut jobs, Anjem Choudary and his Islamic Thinkers (!) Society announced a rally in March to support Sharia law and the restoration of the Islamic Caliphate. Its web has a fake photo of the White House with the black flag of Al Qaeda flying overhead bearing the words, “No Deity but Allah and Muhammad Allah’s Messenger.” If you think they are kidding about their goals, you’d better wake up and smell the coffee. Later: the rally was canceled… Oh, yes, Choudary is that friendly fellow who said, “I must have hatred toward everything not Islam”… When did this start? I googled for information on a mid-19th century gentleman and being directed to NNDB I received this information: Gender: Male; Religion: Baptist; Race or Ethnicity: White; Sexual orientation: Straight; Occupation: Administrator, Military, Engineer.” Sexual orientation? What does that have to do with it? And who knows about someone back then? Have Sodomites taken over the internet? And why the underlining for two words?... On January 22, after three weeks of working for the government to pay taxes, you started working for yourself. Oops! That was in 1900. This year you didn’t start working for yourself until mid-April… We are told that Avatar, a way-out science fiction film, has “religious themes” running through it. In fact, it borrows them from “many religions” (“avatar” itself comes from Hinduism and is “a human form as a partial manifestation of the divine”). Uninformed religious folk will flock to see it, no doubt… Our Justice Department revealed President Obama had instructed it to stop defending in court the law of the land, the Defense of Marriage Act, defining marriage as between a man and a woman. Pardon me, but I thought presidents took an oath of office promising to defend the Constitution and the laws of the land. Columnist David Limbaugh offered this as proof Obama not only thinks he is above the law, but that he is the law… Henry Lamb put it like this: “President Obama swore an oath to ‘... preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.’ He should have sworn to obey it.” Lamb noted only Congress has the power to declare war and/or make the rules involving a military engagement, yet Obama “launched 118 missiles and dropped 40 bombs on Libya without a thought about Congress, or the Constitution”… President Obama, who has failed miserably to handle the economy, is going to the United Nations – he may have already done so by the time you read this – to promote his only real U.S. success – promoting sodomy and Sodomites. He wants the world to roll over and accept it… A UCLA prof, Gary Gates, says he has studied surveys for the past seven years and now estimates 1.7 percent of our population is homosexual and another 1.8 percent is bisexual, meaning approximately nine million Americans are perverts. The professor, Gary Gates, is with the Williams Institute at UCLA's School of Law... If you are in a hurry to kill your unborn baby, don’t go to South Dakota. After its legislature passed and Gov. Dennis Daugaard signs it into law, you’ll have to wait three days after your consultation with the medical killer before he/she can perform the dirty deed. It’s the longest wait in the country (about half the states require waiting 24 hours). That’s too long for the baby killers and they’ve already announced plans to file a lawsuit challenging the new law… Oh, did we mention that before killing can take place in S.D. the woman without natural affection must also consult a pregnancy center to get information about services available to help birth the infant and keep or put it up for adoption… According to a Washington Times report, the Barack Obama-led bailout and then takeover of General Motors has already cost taxpayers $84 billion. Despite White House claims to the contrary, taxpayers have been forced to pay a $25 billion estimated loss from initial IPO; a $45 billion tax break from 2010; and another $14 billion tax break this year… The first full face transplant in the United States went to 25-year-old Dallas Wiens who experienced an accident that badly marred his face while painting a Baptist church. A team of over 30 physicians and nurses performed the surgery... Don't knock Congressman Peter King's look into Muslim extremism. It has gotten so bad in England that Prime Minister David Cameron has ordered a closer watch by his government on extremism there. He said, "Frankly, we need a lot less of the passive tolerance of recent years ... Let's properly judge these organizations" and their belief in basic human rights... Columnist Cliff Kincaid noted King’s biggest critic, Minnesota Muslim Congressman Keith Ellison, was formerly “an official of the National Lawyers Guild (NLG), cited as a Communist Party front organization by the House Committee on Un-American Activities.” He also noted, “Ellison had been a vocal supporter – and attended a fundraiser for – Sara Jane Olson, a member of the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA), an off-shoot of the Weather Underground that is probably best known for kidnapping Patricia Hearst”… Kincaid noted Ellison called terrorist Olson “a freedom fighter,” adding he not only praised her but “Bernardine Dohrn, the former leader of the communist terrorist Weather Underground [and] cop-killers Mumia Abu-Jamal, on death row in Pennsylvania, and Joanne Chesimard (aka Assata Shakur), who escaped the U.S. and is now living under the protection of the Castro dictatorship”… Note of humor: 50 leftwing organizations (including such ‘American’ stalwarts as People for the American Way, American Humanist Association, Common Cause, New York Council on American-Islamic Relations; Feminists for Free Expression; Muslim Peace Coalition USA; Muslim Public Affairs Council; National Center for Lesbian Rights; National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Action Fund; NYC Coalition to Stop Islamophobia; Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays National; The Sikh Coalition and WarIsACrime.org. Winners all, hey?) sent a letter to King saying his hearings would have “no productive outcome in singling out a particular community for examination in what appears to be little more than a political show-trial." Talk about prejudging before the hearings even started!... We have felt for some time that the National Association of Evangelicals should drop the name Evangelical in favor of something more realistic. That thought was heightened by the NAE’s meeting with the Mormons at Salt Lake City seeking ‘common ground’… “A penny saved is …” The House of Representatives saved $8 billion in March by terminating Obama’s “Federal Housing Administration Refinance Program Termination Act.” The vote, 256-171, included nearly a score of Democrats. The unspent TARP funds will go toward reducing our $14 trillion debt if it passes the Senate… |
