Mary Wiesman writes: "The Muslim religion is the fastest growing religion per capita in the United States, especially in the minority races. Last month I attended a training. During the training session there was a presentation by three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths, who each explained their beliefs. I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to say. The Muslim gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam, complete with a video. After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers. When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Muslim and asked: 'Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world and, that by killing an infidel, (which is a command to all Muslims) they are assured of a place in heaven. If that's the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?' There was no disagreement with my statements and, without hesitation, he replied, " Nonbelievers". I responded, 'So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith so they can have a place in heaven. Is that correct?' The expression on his face changed from one of authority and command to that of a little boy who had just been caught with his hand in the cookie jar.' He sheepishly replied, 'Yes.' I then stated, 'Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine The Pope commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith or Dr. Stanley ordering all Protestants to do the same in order to guarantee them a place in heaven!' The Muslim was speechless. I continued, 'I also have a problem with being your friend when you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me! Let me ask you a question: Would you rather have your Allah, who tells you to kill me in order for you to go to heaven, or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to heaven and He wants you to be there with me?' You could have heard a pin drop. Needless to say, the organizers and/or promoters of the 'Diversification' training seminar were not happy with my way of dealing with the Islamic Imam, and exposing the truth about the Muslims' beliefs. In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the US. to elect the President."

Maryland mother who is not a Republican supporter says her family is leaving the state after living costs rose sharply and property taxes increased by 60%. She is now urging others to vote Republican to give future generations a fighting chance.

Mary Brunkow, 2025 medicine laureate, was one of the first graduate students to join Princeton’s department of molecular biology. Her PhD adviser, Shirley Tilghman, remembers her as "incredibly bright and bold". At Princeton, Brunkow joined Tilghman’s lab, where she took on a project researching the mysterious H19 gene – a gene that is active in embryos but does not produce any protein. At a time when many scientists dismissed such “non-coding” genes as genetic leftovers, her findings helped demonstrate that H19 was not junk. Although largely unrelated to the work for which she has been awarded the Nobel Prize, her graduate research contributed to the current understanding of genomic imprinting – the process by which a gene can be turned on or off depending on whether it is inherited from the mother or the father.
