Is Polygamy Next?

Is Polygamy Next? Weekly Update from Dinesh D'Souza Dear Friends, What happens to the rule of law when the Supreme Court, under the guise of interpreting the Constitution, brazenly rewrites it? Well, that's what happened this week when the Court handed down its marriage decision. According to the dictate, no state has the right to define marriage as a solely heterosexual institution. Justice Scalia's stinging dissent is worth reading in full, but here are a few choice excerpts. Chief Justice Roberts also offered a powerful dissent, in which he says that by the Court's reasoning, there are now no grounds to prohibit polygamy. If states can't define marriage as between a man and a woman, how can they define marriage as between just two people? As a consequence of the gay marriage ruling, the danger to religious freedom is now clear: though it's not immediate, it is very real. If 3% of the population can cause this much havoc, think of what we conservatives, properly mobilized, can do! For a little comic relief, here are some helpful tips to navigate the new etiquette of gay marriage: My discussion with Tim Tebow later this month will be far-reaching, and we may touch on marriage and the family as a part of our discussion on God's purpose for America. If you'd like to attend in person and hear Tim and me speak, here's a link to purchase tickets online. Hope to see you there! I'll also be speaking earlier that week at FreedomFest in Las Vegas, and I'll have time there to greet many of you personally at a small luncheon. Click here to reserve your seat. Sincerely, Dinesh D'Souza P.S. What happens when two white hags in the Democratic Party take on a young, ethnically-diverse GOP field?

Nuclear negotiations with Iran

On Tuesday, June 30th, the U.S. State Department announced that negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program have been extended until July 7th. This Tuesday marked what had previously been the final deadline for reaching a long-term solution to Iran's effort to obtain nuclear capability. The goal of the negotiations between the United States, the United Kingdom, China, France, Germany, and Russia (collectively known as the P5+1), and Iran is to restrict Tehran's nuclear program in exchange for relief from currently imposed economic sanctions.  Iranian negotiators, however, have pushed back strongly over the level of access the international community would have into any facility in Iran suspected of non-commercial nuclear activity, and there remain difficulties resolving fundamental differences. Previously, a four-month extension to the first of two original agreement deadlines was declared on July 18, 2014, followed by another seven-month extension, which was enacted when the November 24, 2014 deadline was missed and the yearlong effort to reach a deal failed to come to fruition. This new deadline is intended to allow for a final deal to be submitted to the U.S. Congress before July 9th, giving Congress 30 days to review the agreement and vote over whether or not it will lift Congressionally mandated sanctions on Iran. If, however, the deal is submitted after the July 9th deadline, Congress would have an additional 30 days to review the agreement. Opponents of the negotiations continue to be concerned that the agreement is too lenient and that Iran, a U.S. designated state-sponsor of terrorism and the developer of a robust ballistic missile capability, cannot be trusted to uphold their end of the agreement. Former CIA Director Michael Hayden has stated he is fearful of what might come out of continued talks because he believes that Iran has the "upper hand" in negotiations. The Administration, however, has declared the deal to be a national security priority. Question of the Week: Are you concerned that the Administration's continued nuclear negotiations with Iran put the U.S. in a position of weakness? (  ) Yes. (  ) No. (  ) I don't know. (  ) Other.

InstaPoll: Government data breach

In April, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) first detected an intrusion affecting their systems. On June 4, 2015, OPM officially announced the cyber intrusion compromising personnel records. This sweeping cyber breach has impacted the personal data of current, former, and prospective federal employees, potentially exposing and putting at risk their personal and financial information. OPM has reported that an estimated 4 million were impacted by the data breach, while U.S. officials briefed on the investigation say the number could be closer to 18 million people affected. However, the full extent of the data breach, including who was affected and what information was accessed, is still unknown. On Tuesday, the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Financial Services and General Government hosted a hearing with OPM Director Katherine Archuleta and OPM Assistant Inspector General Michael Esser to discuss the cause of the massive breach. Director Archuleta stated that she does not believe, "anyone is personally responsible" for the breach and that the majority of the blame should be placed on old computer systems. Alternatively, Assistant Inspector General Esser stated the computer systems were modern and the source of the weakness was rather a lack of follow-through to improve the computers' security systems. On Wednesday, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform also held a hearing investigating the OPM data breach. U.S. investigators believe there is evidence that the Chinese government could be behind the cyber-attack, which some consider to be the worst and most widespread cyber-attack ever carried out against the U.S. government. In the aftermath of the breach, many have raised concerns that U.S. security practices have not kept up with the latest hacking tactics and capabilities, leaving the United States exposed to potential attacks. Question of the Week: In light of the recent OPM hack, are you concerned that the U.S. government is dangerously vulnerable to cyber-attacks? (  ) Yes. (  ) No. (  ) I don't know. (  ) Other.

Is America Exceptionally Good Or Exceptionally Bad?

Is America Exceptionally Good Or Exceptionally Bad? Weekly Update from Dinesh D'Souza Dear Friends, In the wake of the tragic shooting in Charleston, SC last week, Obama once again took advantage of a situation and used it to criticize America. When he said that mass shootings just don't happen in "other advanced nations," he suggested that rather than America being exceptional good, it's actually exceptionally bad! The fact of the matter is, he's wrong. They do happen all around the world. And based on the lessons of the USSR, China, North Korea, and Cuba, we know that there are far more mass killings when the state has all the guns! Obama followed up that brilliant criticism of America with more worthless pablum on race this week, and some people think it's profound just because he's black! Listen to his comments: Obama's hatred for the idea of true American exceptionalism stems from his anti-colonial ideology passed down to him by his father, something I wrote about in two books since his election. If I'm wrong about this, I'm waiting for Obama to repudiate it, but he never has and he never will. I'm excited to be speaking around the country more this summer now that I'm free to travel outside of San Diego county! I kick off my "comeback tour" with a couple of sessions at FreedomFest next month in Las Vegas, followed immediately by a joint engagement with Tim Tebow in Tennessee where we'll be discussing God's plan for America. I hope to see you at one or both of these events! Over the course of the last eight months, I've been amazed by the growth of my networks online, and they have served as a way for me to continue my path to the restoration of America, even while serving my confinement sentence. If we're not already connected online, click the button below so I can share all the latest books, videos, and special events I have planned for the next year with you! JOIN DINESH ONLINE Sincerely, Dinesh D'Souza P.S. Thanks to my daughter Danielle for an amazing Father's Day last weekend!

God's Purpose for America

God's Purpose for America Weekly Update from Dinesh D'Souza Dear Friends, I'm excited to announce that I'm heading to Tennessee on July 11 with Tim Tebow to talk about God's purpose for America. We'll be discussing what our great nation has in store and what our obligations are as the most powerful country on the planet. Don't miss this event! Order your tickets today—they won't last long! BUY TICKETS The oddest story of the week is that of Rachel Dolezal, the white woman who has been posing as black and heading up a local NAACP chapter. You know things have changed in America when you have white people trying to "pass" as black! The end of ‪racism in America is something I wrote about over 15 years ago—and something that Sharpton and Jackson have been in the business of denying much longer! Because of the liberal outrage at Dolezal, what I want to know is this: if Rachel Dolezal isn't black, how is ‪Caitlyn Jenner‬ a woman? Sincerely, Dinesh D'Souza P.S. This Clinton donor illegally gave $180,000 and pled guilty to witness tampering—and got a much lighter sentence than I did!

InstaPoll: Obamacare Before the Supreme Court

This month, the Supreme Court is expected to issue a major decision in the case King v. Burwell on the subsidies for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The case considers the question of whether the over 30 states that decided not to establish healthcare exchanges—and instead let the federal government set up their exchanges for them—are legally allowed to continue to accept the federal tax credits that subsidize those eligible in state-run exchanges. The Administration is arguing that the broader intent of the statute implies that subsidies should be available to plans on all exchanges. Plaintiffs, however, argue that that is contrary to the plain text of the ACA. Meanwhile, as the nation awaits the Supreme Court's decision, two bipartisan bills passed the House of Representatives this week to reverse some of the most harmful elements of the ACA. First, the Medical Device Tax Elimination Act (H.R. 1533), repeals the ACA's tax on medical devices that has been criticized for eliminating jobs and reducing investment in research. Additionally, the House is voting on The Protecting Seniors' Access to Medicare Act of 2015 (H.R. 1190) to repeal the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB) established under the ACA, more commonly referred to as a Medicare rationing board or "death panel." Question of the Week: Do you support measures in the legislative and judicial branches to roll back Obamacare?  (  ) Yes. (  ) No. (  ) I don't know. (  ) Other.
