Uncle Sam is Ordering Americans to Submit to Islam

By Diana West

The Wall Street Journal reports this week about a new draft handbook for U.S. troops in Afghanistan designed to prevent their Afghan "partners" from murdering them.

They should be forced to read a list of expenditures from the Palm Beach County school district and then explain again how schools need more operating revenue. We think they might be a bit tongue-tied. EAGnews recently completed an inspection of credit card statements and the check register for the Palm Beach County school district in fiscal year 2010-11. The exercise uncovered enough questionable spending to make an average millionaire blush. [more...]
