Mike Huckabee Again Defends Obama's Christian Faith and Family Values

Mike Huckabee Again Defends Obama's Christian Faith and Family Values

Even as he has continued to critique Islam, potential GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee is at the same time making a talking point of defending President Obama against charges that he is not a Christian, and in fact on Thursday he hailed Obama as a role model for the "primacy of the American family." "He has personally articulated, not once but numerous times, his Christian faith. I take him at his word. I have no reason not to. For us to continue to dwell on that is missing the point," Huckabee said in a lunchtime speech at the National Press Club in Washington. Related ...

Astronomers Worldwide Forge New Rules for ET Engagement

Astronomers Worldwide Forge New Rules for ET Engagement

(Oct. 8) -- Is alien disclosure just around the corner? I can't say for sure, but lately there's been a lot of news that, if looked at collectively, could be interpreted as pointing in that direction. It seems as if everyone from the Vatican to the military to scientists conducting the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, or SETI, are getting on the ET bandwagon. Robyn Beck, AFP / Getty Images Dusk falls over the Very Large Array, one of the world's premier astronomical radio observatories, on the Plains of San Agustin, 50 miles west of Socorro, N.M. Just last week, in Prague, ...

Ex-Air Force Officers: UFOs Monitored Nuke Sites

(Sept. 28) -- UFOs have monitored and occasionally tampered with nuclear weapons sites, both in the U.S. and abroad, for nearly 60 years. That was the allegation based on eyewitness testimony of several former Air Force officers who came together Monday at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., to tell their remarkable stories and to urge the government to finally make this information available to the public. Co-host of the news conference, author and researcher Robert Hastings, told AOL News, "The purpose of the press conference was to draw worldwide media attention to the reality of ...

Mazlan Othman Not Earth's Alien Ambassador After All

Mazlan Othman Not Earth's Alien Ambassador After All

(Sept. 27) -- Call it one small misstep for mankind. Malaysian astrophysicist Mazlan Othman has officially denied media reports that she was selected by the United Nations to represent earthlings in their future dealings with aliens. "It sounds really cool," Othman told The Guardian, "but I have to deny it." The United Nations has also denied the story, which was first told by The Sunday Times over the weekend and then subsequently re-reported by numerous other media outlets around the world. The idea, according to the original erroneous piece, was that the planet would have a person ...

Jo Bro for President? Nick Jonas Says Look for Him in 2040

Jo Bro for President? Nick Jonas Says Look for Him in 2040

The bad news for Barack Obama is that a good-looking, self-funded, scandal-free entertainer announced Monday that he wants to run for the White House. The good news is that the aspiring candidate is too busy right now to apply to college, let alone get a campaign together. But once he has the time (and once he's old enough to vote), 16-year-old Nick Jonas said a political career is in his sights. "I've always had this dream of being the president some day," Jonas told a sold-out crowd at Washington's National Press Club. "In 2040 to be exact. We sell bumper stickers on tour that say 'Jonas ...

Does Journalism Die Today?

By  Tommy Christopher - Politics Daily
Does Journalism Die Today?

I believe that no one should write as a journalist what he would not say as a gentleman; that bribery by one's own pocket book is as much to be avoided as bribery by the pocketbook of another; that individual responsibility may not be escaped by pleading another's instructions or another's dividends. – excerpt, Walter William's Journalist's Creed Update: I just got off the phone with Sylvia Smith, National Press Club President. Our exchange at the end of the story.This is going to be a tough story to write, because it is about something that isn't a news story, that I can't tell you ...

Clinton Camp Not In On Wright NPC Appearance

Contrary to implications in an LA Times story from yesterday, it appears the Clinton campaign had nothing to do with setting up Reverend Jeremiah Wright's appearance at the National Press Club. From a Clinton spokesperson via email today: Tommy Christopher: I need to confirm that no-one connected with the campaign had anything to do with booking Reverend Wright at the National Press Club. Clinton Spokesperson: We had nothing to do with the event at the National Press Club. Barbara Reynolds denies even being a "Longtime Clinton Booster," as the Times piece put it. See the video below. The Left ...
