Clinton Bragged While New York Burned “He's a very smart guy, I've spent a lot of time thinking about him - and I nearly got him once. I nearly got him. And I could have killed him.” Those are the words of former President Bill Clinton speaking to an audience of businessmen in Australia on September 10, 2001. The “very smart guy” Clinton “could have killed”?

Sessions Slams House Leadership Surrender When it comes to immigration, Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) is one of the best champions of the rule of law. He has steadfastly fought the Senate's comprehensive immigration reform bill as a sellout of American workers and the middle class. And Sessions has been one of the most vocal critics of any abuse of executive authority to impose another mass amnesty. That's why his comments slamming the House's legislation to address the border crisis got my attention. Here's is an excerpt of Senator Sessions' statement: |

MELT THE PHONE LINES! The issue of illegal immigration is once again before Congress and the American people due to a man-caused crisis at the southern border. The White House is demanding $3.7 billion in additional spending, while Senate Democrats are proposing to spend a billion less. In the House, Rep.

Kerry Pushes Hamas Proposal: Undermines Israel & Egypt After days of intense negotiations and shuttle diplomacy, Secretary of State John Kerry submitted his proposed ceasefire plan to the Israeli cabinet Friday.

Who Killed The Kids? Shells struck a U.N.-run shelter in Gaza yesterday, killing 16 Palestinians, many of them women and children.

Victory! As you know, the Obama Administration imposed absurd travel restrictions on Israel Tuesday when the FAA banned flights into Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport. The ban was supposed to last only 24 hours, but the FAA renewed it yesterday. Senator Ted Cruz blasted the restrictions, saying, "The facts suggest that President Obama has just used a federal regulatory agency to launch an economic boycott on Israel." I too criticized them in yesterday's daily report. |

Stand With Israel Christians United For Israel kicked off its ninth annual Washington Summit today. As you may know, Christians United For Israel was founded by Pastor John Hagee, and I am honored to serve on CUFI's Executive Board. The timing of this year's Summit seems prophetic and the mood is heavy. Thousands of pro-Israel Christians have come to our nation's capital to show their support for the Jewish state as it is once again engaged in hostilities against Islamic terrorists who have vowed to destroy it. |
