* There are signs that Newt Gingrich's campaign is starting to run out of money. He's dropped Tiffany and he's buying all of his jewelry on QVC now.
* Mitt Romney said he is not concerned with the very poor. That statement worked out well for Marie Antoinette, didn't it?
* Donald Trump has now endorsed Mitt Romney. Imagine that: A billionaire reaching out to a millionaire.
* Romney knows how President Obama thinks. Because when he was governor of Massachusetts, he thought the exact same way.

* Super model Gisele Bundchen wants people to pray for her husband Tom Brady to win the Super Bowl. In response, God said, "You know what, I think I've done enough for Tom Brady."

* Mitt Romney said he's not concerned about the very poor. What he means is people making less than a million.

* It's Groundhog Day. A groundhog knows as much about weather as Mitt Romney knows about poor people.

JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE!
* In the old days, people would get excited about the Super Bowl commercials because it was the only place you could see talking babies or frogs that drink beer. But now on YouTube, you can see it every day.
* Donald Trump made a surprise endorsement of Mitt Romney for president. And Mitt climbed into
Donald's golden helicopter and they flew around the country, dropping silver dollars on the homeless and unemployed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LATE NIGHT WITH JIMMY FALLON
* Donald Trump announced that he's endorsing Mitt Romney for president. It was really nice. Trump was like, "There's only one man with the brains, the skills, and the charisma to be president - but since I'm not running, you might as well vote for Mitt Romney."
* It was a busy day for Trump, because just this morning, his hair popped out of the ground and predicted six more weeks of winter.
* Over the weekend, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were spotted taking their kids to Cirque du Soleil. It's weird when they take their kids to the circus, because even the clowns are like, "That's a lot of people in one car!"

NEWT GINGRICH'S NEW CAMPAIGN STRATEGY: IT'S ALL ABOUT TEXAS
Another loss, another failure by Newt Gingrich to concede a race to the winner, Mitt Romney. Rather than deliver a speech, the former Speaker of the House of Representatives instead opted to hold a press conference to unveil a supposed new campaign strategy.
The weakness of his position during the rambling 22-minute event was underlined by the fact that he had to begin by denying he was planning to drop out. "I'm not going to withdraw," he said. "I'm actually pretty happy with where we are."

THE 2016 PICK FOR DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE ALREADY UPON US
DISTANT as it may now seem, with the Republican race dominating the news and President Obama sitting in the White House, the Democrats are not all that far from the tumult of another nominating contest themselves.
No matter what happens on Election Day in November, when Mr. Obama wakes up the next morning, he will no longer be the future of his party. If he loses, attention will immediately turn to which Democrat might be able to pick up the pieces from the deep disappointment of his one term. If he wins, the party will begin turning to who might be able to accomplish the difficult task of winning a third straight term for one party. Already, the jockeying for 2016 has begun.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, describing GOP frontrunner Mitt Romney as a "timid" alternative, reiterated Sunday that he's not dropping out of the race for the Republican presidential nomination. That determination came even as Republican leaders like former Rep. Dick Armey blasted him for not toning down the rhetoric against his rival and the frontrunner.
"Our goal is to get to Super Tuesday, where we're in much more favorable territory," Gingrich said on NBC's "Meet the Press." "We believe by the time Texas is over, we'll be very very competitive in delegate count."

You've heard the slogan, "Abortion stops a beating heart"? When the Heartbeat Bill becomes law, it will ensure that: "A beating heart stops abortion." Dr. Jack Wilke testified that the Heartbeat Bill will save 95 percent of the babies who would otherwise be aborted - that's 26,000 Ohio babies every year - a school bus full of children every single day!  | | HeartBeat Bill Ohio Pastors Press Conference |
We also have every indication that the current Supreme Court will uphold Ohio's Heartbeat Law. In Gonzales v.

FOR THE CHRISTIAN FILM EVENT OF THE YEAR Thursday, February 23 - Saturday, February 25 Gonzales Convention Center
 One of the top highlights of my year is attending the San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival with my bride Amy.  Adam and Amy McManus If you've never brought your family to enjoy some of the 50 God-honoring films of every genre on 4 screens during this 3-day event right in our own backyard, then register today.
You can even view films like Courageous and Seven Days in Utopia. The price is remarkably competitive and worth every dime! Plus, you'll meet wonderful, like-minded Christian families from across the nation.
The Film Festival will be held Thursday, February 23rd through Saturday, February 25th at the Gonzalez Convention Center in downtown San Antonio, Texas. Plus, enjoy dozens of other exciting new Christian dramas, documentaries, comedies, and short films. The vision Henry Van Til correctly observed that "culture is religion externalized." By this, he meant that the culture of a people reflects their true religious priorities. The music, paintings, and film of a nation (not to mention the thousands of daily cultural expressions - how we live, eat, work, and entertain ourselves) express our priorities, our values, and our true faith. 
Doug Phillips, the founder, articulates the vision. The Bible teaches that all men have faith, in that they either worship the creature or they worship the Creator, but no man is free from religious commitment. When a people worship sensuality or embrace dark visions of reality, it is always evidenced in the arts. There is no neutrality! On the other hand, when a nation fears and loves the God of Holy Scripture, their religious commitment is evidenced in the music they play, the way they dress, and their vision of family life.
The fact is that America is discontent with Hollywood's negative, monopolistic stranglehold on film and culture. The humanistic religious worldview of Hollywood elites created a rift in American culture and profoundly damaged the American family. We intend to respond, not by cursing the darkness, but by lighting candles. Building a community of independent Christian filmmakers is one such candle.

BRITISH SINGER FLIPS MIDDLE FINGER DURING SUPER BOWL HALFTIME SHOW
The NFL and a major television network are apologizing for another Super Bowl halftime show.
There was no wardrobe malfunction, nothing like that glimpse of Janet Jackson's nipple eight years ago that caused an uproar and a government scrutiny. Instead, it was an extended middle finger from British singer M.I.A. during Sunday night's performance of Madonna's new single, "Give Me All Your Luvin.'"
In front of some 110 million viewers on NBC and uncounted others online, she flipped the bird and appeared to sing, "I don't give a (expletive)" at one point, though it was hard to hear her clearly.

CHRISTIAN GROUP TARGETS ELLEN DEGENERES FOR BEING GAY
One Million Moms urge JC Penney to dump Ellen as spokeswoman
One Million Moms - a project of the American Family Association - is very angry at JC Penney.
No, not because it sells sweater vests (heck, Rick Santorum is a fan of those), but because the Texas-based department store has hired Ellen DeGeneres as a spokeswoman.
And DeGeneres is - cue the scary music - gay, and open about it.
"Funny that JC Penney thinks hiring an open homosexual spokesperson will help their business when most of their customers are traditional families," the million (or so) moms write on their website. "DeGeneres is not a true representation of the type of families that shop at their store. The majority of JC Penney shoppers will be offended and choose to no longer shop there."

CONGRESSMAN: NO PAY FOR NO SPENDING PLAN
One hundred forty-four weeks. Some 1,010 days. That's how long it's been since the United States Congress actually passed a budget.
While many Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck, planning very carefully a family strategy on how much to spend and on what, the elected leaders of the country have gotten by on omnibus spending bills in lieu of an actual budget for nearly three years.

AYATOLLAH: KILL ALL JEWS, ANNIHILATE ISRAEL
The Iranian government, through a website proxy, has laid out the legal and religious justification for the destruction of Israel and the slaughter of its people.
The doctrine includes wiping out Israeli assets and Jewish people worldwide.
Calling Israel a danger to Islam, the conservative website Alef, with ties to Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said the opportunity must not be lost to remove "this corrupting material. It is a 'jurisprudential justification" to kill all the Jews and annihilate Israel, and in that, the Islamic government of Iran must take the helm."

RED-LIGHT CAMERAS BOOST COFFERS, RILE DRIVERS
California has the most expensive red-light camera tickets in the world - the fine is so steep that one camera in Oakland generates more than $3 million a year - and a Fremont man is launching a protest group to do something about that.
If Roger Jones has his way, that freezing dread that knifes through a driver the moment he sees the overhead flash of a traffic camera will become a thing of the past.

RUSSIA AND CHINA BLOCK U.N. ACTION ON CRISIS IN SYRIA
A United Nations Security Council effort to end the violence in Syria collapsed in acrimony with a double veto by Russia and China on Saturday, hours after the Syrian military attacked the city of Homs in what opposition leaders described as the deadliest government assault in the nearly 11-month uprising.
The veto and the mounting violence underlined the dynamics shaping what is proving to be the Arab world's bloodiest revolt: diplomatic stalemate and failure as Syria plunges deeper into what many are already calling a civil war. Diplomats have lamented their lack of options in pressuring the Syrian government, and even some Syrian dissidents worry about what the growing confrontation will mean for a country reeling from bloodshed and hardship.

DEMINT: REPUBLICANS WOULD BE 'NAÏVE' TO COMPROMISE ON SPENDING
South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint tells Newsmasx.TV that congressional Republicans would be naïve to think that they can compromise with Democrats on spending.
"I can guarantee you in the Super Bowl this year the two coaches are not telling their teams to go out and work with the other guys because the other team has an opposite goal," DeMint said in an exclusive interview on Wednesday. "In politics -unfortunately now in Washington - the Democrats' goal is completely opposite of what the American goal really should be."

ATTENTION SAN ANTONIO AREA HUNTERS:
CAN YOU VOLUNTEER ON A CHRISTIAN YOUTH HUNT?
Over the course of my 20-year career as a radio talk show host, I've met and interviewed a lot of fascinating people. Many of them are household names which you would recognize instantly.
Tom Snyder, the 46-year-old owner of the regional Colonial Life Insurance office here in Garden Ridge, has got to be one of the most intriguing people I've met in a long time. He's not famous. He's not a political leader. And he hasn't even written a book.
But he's spearheading a unique Christian ministry in our own backyard whose vision is as big as the Texas sky.
Tom Snyder, founder of Trinity Oaks, teaches a young boy on a Youth Hunt.
If you would like to volunteer to be a guide, call 210.447.351.
Now that he has become a successful businessman, Tom, a member of River City Community Church here in San Antonio, has a passion to give back to the community - especially to the children in demonstrable, life-changing ways.
That's why he founded Trinity Oaks, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. At the heart of the ministry are the youth hunts for 10 to 16-year-olds. Throughout their time, the young people experience firearms safety instruction, target shooting and actual big game hunting.
In the process, Tom wants to give the tweens and teens access to the great outdoors, to build their character, and to teach them the importance of responsibility in our narcissistic culture.
10 to 16-year-old boys, like the ones pictured above on a Trinity Oaks Youth Hunt develop self-confidence, an appreciation of God's creation and connect with the volunteer hunting guides.
"Our goal with youth is three-fold. First, we want to teach kids that hunting is not just about 'killing animals', but also about building relationships and enjoying God's majestic outdoors. Second, we want to promote our country's hunting heritage to future generations," said Tom Snyder.
"Third and most importantly, we want to show children of all ages that they have value and let them know there are people who care about them, people willing to listen to them and mentor them. We have found you can really reach a child and make a difference in his life just by sitting next to a campfire and listening to what he has to say."
During the 2010/2011 hunting season alone, Tom personally acted as the lead field guide for every one of the 20 youth hunts attended by 85 young people, 53 of whom were first-time hunters. Typically, each hunt is comprised of 3-5 youngsters along with their fathers and some volunteer guides. Each youth is assigned to an adult.
Their goal for the upcoming 2011/2012 hunting season is to have 30 youth hunts attended by 100 kids and 75 first-time children hunters.
Amazingly, Trinity Oaks covers every single expense including the cost of transportation, the lease of the land, the hunting license fees as well as the food, lodging and the mounting of the child's wildgame trophy.
All the meat is processed for free by volunteers, ground up and frozen into family packs. It's then distributed to needy families and homeless shelters throughout San Antonio as well as orphanages in Mexico.
ACTION STEPS FOR ADAM'S ARMY:
1. If you would like to suggest a boy or girl between the ages of 10 and 16 to
participate in a future Trinity Oaks youth hunt, please call 210.447.0351, and tell them you are a McManus subscriber, or email.
2. If you would like to volunteer to become a guide or firearms trainer for some of the
youth hunts, please call 210.447.0351 and tell them you are a McManus subscriber or e-mail.
3. If you would like to make a tax-deductible donation to Trinity Oaks to ensure that the
Youth Hunts and Wounded Warrior Hunts continue, donate on-line here.
The cost of sending one underprivileged kid on a Christian Youth Hunt is $1,200. And now, thanks to the generosity of one sponsor, anything that you give up to $100,000 will be doubled.
So, if you give $150 today, your donation will be doubled to $300 and fund one-quarter of the $1,200 cost for one kid to participate in this life-changing ministry.
You can also make a tax-deductible donation by check made out to "Trinity Oaks." Send it to: Tom Snyder, Trinity Oaks, 9385 Miller Lane, San Antonio, Texas 78266. (Write "McManus newsletter" in the memo)
