Two Christian ministers face jail time for refusing to perform gay marriages...

Change...

Via Todd Starnes:
Two Christian ministers who own an Idaho wedding chapel were told they had to either perform same-sex weddings or face jail time and up to $1,000 in daily fines, according to a lawsuit filed Friday in federal court.
Alliance Defending Freedom is representing Donald and Evelyn Knapp, two ordained ministers who own the Hitching Post Wedding Chapel in Coeur d’Alene.
“Right now they are at risk of being prosecuted,” attorney Jeremy Tedesco told me. “The threat of enforcement is more than just credible.”
The wedding chapel is registered as a “religious corporation” limited to performing “one-man-one-woman marriages as defined by the Holy Bible.”
However, the chapel is also a for-profit business and city officials said that means the owners must comply with the local nondiscrimination ordinance.
That ordinance, passed in 2013, prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation and it applies to housing, employment and public accommodation.

YPG claims ISIS routed from Kobane...

Great news if true...

Via Rudaw:
Islamist militants have been pushed out of Kobane and fighters of the Peoples Protection Units (YPG) are now in control of the town, a Kurdish official in Kobane told Rudaw.
“There is no ISIS in Kobane now,” said Omar Alush, co-chair of the TEV-DEM movement in Kobane.
Alush said that following the recent air strikes on positions of the Islamic State (IS) militants in Kobane, the YPG managed to drive the rest of the jihadis out of town and that they are now in control.
“YPG fighters are now searching the homes for bombs and explosives that the Islamist militants might have left behind,” said Alush.
IS militants laid siege to the Kurdish town of Kobane on the Turkish-Syrian border last month, pounding the town with heavy artillery and tanks.
With support from US air strikes, the YPG held the town and eventually managed to turn the tide against the IS.
“Kobane is quiet now and the flag of ISIS is gone,” Alush maintained.

Report: Obama angry at his administration's incompetence at handling Ebola crisis

If Obama really wanted to make things better, he would fire himself. The buck stops at his desk. 

Via The Daily Mail:
The President put things more bluntly in the meeting, telling his aides, 'It's not tight,' while discussing their response efforts.
He then placed a majority of the blame over the botched handling of the crisis on the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, who he felt did not adequately train doctors and nurses at hospital as to proper protective procedures when dealing with a patient who has the disease and who he feels has been providing shifting information about the threat categories certain individuals who may have the disease are in.  
In an attempt to coordinate the efforts of his administration, it was confirmed on Friday that Obama had appointed Vice President Joe Biden's former Chief of Staff Ron Klain to serve as Ebola czar.

Interesting: Incriminating DOJ Fast and Furious documents released, Eric Holder's top deputy suddenly resigns...

This could get very interesting...
On Thursday, James Cole, the top deputy at the Department of Justice and one of those under consideration as a replacement to the resigning Eric Holder, suddenly announced his resignation. The timing is more than slightly curious. It came immediately following the release and analysis of documents which show that two Americans were injured in 2013 by a weapon which was part of the DOJ’s Mexican cartel armament scheme, Fast and Furious.
Judicial Watch forwarded the documents to Senator Charles Grassley (R-IA) and Congressman Darrell Issa (R-CA), the chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform. The documents show that two people were wounded in a Phoenix-area crime in which a weapon purchased by a Fast and Furious operative was used.
On Thursday, Issa and Grassley notified Deputy Attorney General James Cole of the linkage between the weapon, their gun-running adventure and the two injured Americans.  A short time later Cole announced his resignation, stating as his reason an apparent urgent desire to work in the public sector.
Grassley and Issa wrote, “Based on the serial number from the police report obtained by Judicial Watch and documents obtained during our Fast and Furious investigation, we can confirm that the assault rifle recovered in the vehicle on July 30, 2013 was purchased by Sean Christopher Steward. Steward pled guilty to firearms trafficking charges resulting from his involvement with Operation Fast and Furious.”

Inspector general report finds “undue influence and favoritism by Department management” under Hillary Clinton...

Don't look for the mainstream media to report this.

Via Daily Caller:
The State Department under Hillary Clinton played favorites and failed to fully investigate at least two cases of sexual misconduct involving a U.S. ambassador and a security officer, according to an inspector general’s report.
The inspector general reviewed eight internal investigations and found that in three of them “undue influence and favoritism by Department management” appeared to be at play.
In one case from May 2011, security staff at a U.S. Embassy believed they observed a U.S. ambassador soliciting a prostitute in a public park near the unnamed embassy.

Nigerian Islamist group Boko Haram to release kidnapped schoolgirls?

This is good news if true. Hopefully, someone bombs the crap out of the terrorists after the girls are safely home.

Via NY Post:
Under massive global pressure, the militant Nigerian Islamist group Boko Haram has agreed to release more than 200 schoolgirls they kidnapped earlier this year, military officials announced Friday.
Nigerian officials announced that the insurgents agreed to a truce with government forces and will free the students after holding them in a remote forest since their abduction six months ago, according to reports.
Government spokesman Mike Omeri said Boko Haram would not be ceded any territory under the agreement but refused to reveal what concessions were made to secure the release of the girls.
“We are inching closer to release of all groups in captivity, including the Chibok girls,” Omeri told the BBC.
