THE DUGGARS' MISCARRIAGE TRAGEDY 'TO BE AIRED ON NEW SERIES OF 19 KIDS AND COUNTING'
The Duggar family suffered a family tragedy last year when they lost baby Jubilee Shalom, five months into mother Michelle's pregnancy.
And the tragic moment the Duggars - who have 19 children - learned the news has been captured by reality television cameras, it emerged today.
It will be aired on this coming season of TLC's 19 Kids and Counting,
Michelle, 45, and her husband Jim Bob were devastated when she suffered the miscarriage last December.
The reality stars discovered their 20th child no longer had a heartbeat during a doctors appointment on December 8.
Michelle had a natural miscarriage three days later before she was taken into hospital.
She has since posted a picture of her baby's hand which she held in her own and released an audio message to her daughter saying she would 'not forget' her.
The family also gathered for a memorial ceremony in Springdale, Arkansas, held in honour of little Jubilee Shalom.
Michelle told America's People magazine: 'I feel a great sorrow and grief, and yet at the same time I have a peace in my heart.'
'This is so sad, but I have peace. There are people praying for us and angels surrounding our home, and there was peace in the sorrow and the grief. Those feelings are mingled together.'
The season six premiere will air on February 14 at 9/8c.

PARK SERVICE TO REPLACE QUOTE ON MLK MEMORIAL
The National Park Service announced on Friday it will correct a paraphrased "drum major" quote etched into the Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial to "more accurately reflect" King's words.
For months, observers said the truncated version etched into granite - "I was a drum major for justice, peace and righteousness" - was an insult to the civil rights leader, whose memorial was dedicated by President Obama and other dignitaries on Oct. 16. Poet Maya Angelou said that the shortened version of the quote made King sound "arrogant."

While delivering one of the liveliest and best-received speeches at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre said the president's low-key approach to gun rights during his first term was "a "conspiracy to ensure re-election by lulling gun owners to sleep."

OBAMA'S DIVIDE-AND-CONQUER STRATEGY
Barack Obama is a not only an abortion zealot, he's also a fascist control freak - determined to make government the ultimate arbiter of morality on all matters political and economic.
That's the only conclusion one can reach from his efforts to force individuals like me, institutions like the Catholic Church, insurance companies and employers nationwide to provide "free" abortions, "free" sterilizations and "free" contraception to those who are part of any health insurance program in the U.S.

OBAMA CALLED OUT ON 'SLEIGHT OF HAND' OVER ABORTIONS
Christians who balked at Barack Obama's requirements that they pay for abortion pills through their health insurance plans say his concession to accommodate their faith and beliefs just doesn't do enough.
"The Obama administration's rule change doesn't change anything. Employees will still pay for this coverage," said Senior Counsel Doug Napier of the Alliance Defense Fund.
He was referencing Obama's statement today that he wants to have insurance companies reach out directly to employees for contraception, sterilization, and abortifacient drugs when the employer has religious objections to those procedures.

OBAMA BUDGET SLATED FOR $3.8 TRILLION BUDGET; $1.4 TRILLION IN NEW TAXES
The White House rolled out its new $3.8 trillion budget Monday, promising major investments to spur a manufacturing revival in the U.S. while walking a fine line between the August debt accords and President Barack Obama's fear that too much austerity now will spell trouble for the economy-and his own reelection chances in November.
From Justice to Defense and Homeland Security, as many as six cabinet level departments or agencies will see their budget shrink in compliance with the new appropriations caps. But Obama would also go outside the box by creating new mandatory spending initiatives costing tens of billions of dollars and for the first time, openly tap war savings to fund his domestic agenda.

But what they witnessed on Friday was not an offensive redecoration decision by the Hostetlers, but rather the debut of one of the more unusual schemes to arise from the housing crisis. In return for allowing the front of their four-bedroom house to become a garish advertisement, the Hostetlers are getting their nearly $2,000 monthly mortgage paid by the marketing company behind the project, Brainiacs From Mars.
