EXCLUSIVE: Arizona Sheriff: Border Patrol Has Retreated from Parts of Border Because It’s ‘Too Dangerous’ (CNSNews.com) - Sheriff Larry Dever of Cochise County, Ariz., one of four Arizona counties contiguous with the U.S-Mexico border, said Friday that the U.S. Border Patrol has pulled back from parts of the border in his and neighboring counties because manning those areas has become too dangerous. “And you frankly have Border Patrolmen--and I know this from talking to Border Patrol agents—who will not allow their agents to work on the border because it is too dangerous,” Dever told CNSNews.com in a videotaped interview. “Now what kind of message is that for crying out loud?” Republicans Fault Obama for Endorsing Mosque Construction Near Ground Zero (CNSNews.com) – House Republican leader John Boehner (Ohio) says the decision to build a mosque two blocks from the site of the Sept. 11 terror attacks in lower Manhattan is “deeply troubling” -- and so is President Barack Obama’s decision to “endorse” the mosque construction. “The fact that someone has the right to do something doesn’t necessarily make it the right thing to do,” Boehner said in a statement issued on Sunday. Ground Zero Mosque Controversy, As Viewed From the Muslim World (CNSNews.com) - Commentators in the Islamic world see “Islamophobia” behind growing opposition in the United States to the planned building of a mosque near the New York City site where al-Qaeda terrorists flew planes into the World Trade Center in 2001. Here are excerpts from recent editorials and columns published in the Islamic world. Oversight Report Slams Obama ‘Failure’ on Oil Spill (CNSNews.com) – A new oversight report from Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), the senior Republican on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, details what many analysts see as the failures of the Obama administration in dealing with the Gulf oil spill. “President Obama and Administration officials failed in several instances to remove regulatory and bureaucratic impediments, and to ensure that proper and adequate resources were available to address the BP disaster,” the report states. Prop 8 Ruling Could Criminalize Christianity, Leaders Warn (CNSNews.com) – Religious leaders warn that if an Aug. 6 ruling by a federal judge on same-sex marriage is upheld, it could wind up putting a gag on Christians speaking out about homosexuality – a gag that a top Southern Baptist leader says his denomination will not accept. Even the Poor Are Abandoning Obama, According to Gallup Poll Data (CNSNews.com) - In every week of his presidency until now, Barack Obama has enjoyed a majority approval rating in the Gallup Poll from people earning less than $2,000 per month. But that changed in the Gallup survey conducted from Aug. 2-8, when only 49 percent of Americans in that income bracket said they approve of the job Obama is doing. This marks the first time since Obama was inaugurated on January 20, 2009, when Americans in all four of the income brackets reported in Gallup’s weekly survey of presidential approval gave Obama less than 50 percent approval. U.S. Military’s Relief Effort in Pakistan Prompts Suspicions About Its Intentions (CNSNews.com) – The U.S. military is pressing ahead in its efforts to support Pakistan’s army in bringing relief to millions of people affected by the worst flooding in the country’s history, undeterred by suspicions about its intentions. “We’re not here to conduct anything other than humanitarian assistance and disaster relief,” U.S. Army Brig. Gen. Michael Nagata told reporters in a conference call from Pakistan. Some conspiracy theories say that U.S. forces deployed in Pakistan could also be used against terrorists.

Lawmaker urges deporting every illegal immigrant detained for DUI Mosque flap swirls around Obama Dispute over New York Islamic center flares into midterm campaign issue Hamas leader insists Muslims ‘have to build’ mosque near Ground Zero Banks will benefit most from White House program to help fight foreclosures COMMENTARY Sensitivities By Rich Galen It seems that every time we turn around, America is being told that we have somehow run afoul of some precept or another of Muslim sensibilities and, because religious freedom is very important to us, we try to do better. It cannot be lost on the backers of this Mosque that it is, if not cheek-by-jowl to Ground Zero, it is close enough to be seen by many Americans - even those of good will toward Muslims - as mocking the attacks of 9/11. Manhattan is a big place. Put the Mosque somewhere else and quit insulting us by asking us to pretend that the proposed location is just happenstance. How Obama Is Locking Up Our Land By Michelle Malkin Have you heard of the “Great Outdoors Initiative”? Chances are, you haven’t. But across the country, White House officials have been meeting quietly with environmental groups to map out government plans for acquiring untold millions of acres of both public and private land. It’s another stealthy power grab through executive order that promises to radically transform the American way of life. Barack Obama’s Kool-Aid for America It is increasingly evident with every passing day that Barack Obama is America’s Jim Jones, undermining the U.S. Constitution while urging Americans to drink his Kool-Aid lies.
