Memorial Day: Why We Must Study War


http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2014/05/25/Memorial-Day-Why-We-Must-Study-War?utm_source=e_breitbart_com&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Breitbart+News+Roundup%2C+May+26%2C+2014&utm_campaign=20140526_m120620410_Breitbart+News+Roundup%2C+May+26%2C+2014&utm_term=More

25 May 2014

As citizens of a free country it is necessary that we acknowledge the sacrifices of the men and women in uniform that died to defend it. Civil society only survives in a world of violence and tyranny if there are rough men ready to do violence on our behalf.

Andrew Jackson, after winning the Battle of New Orleans, reminded us of the necessity of the soldier when he said our sacred liberties would be in trouble indeed if we only employ “lawyers” to defend the Constitution.

Days of memorial for those that sacrificed and died in service to their country are common in American history, stemming back to the Revolution. But the modern practice of celebrating Memorial Day as a national holiday was established after the Civil War as a way for Americans to pay tribute to their Union and Confederate dead. Some of these earliest commemorations were held at Arlington National Cemetery, which this year turns 150 years old.

However, as we look back and remember those that have died defending us we must note the famous line by philosopher George Santayana: “Only the dead have seen the end of war.” Modern Americans are being failed by an education system that no longer teaches about war and neglects its study to a dangerous degree.

Instruction regarding war, especially those fought by the United States, is vital for every educated citizen and not just the tiny number who now serve in the armed forces. It is important to not just respectfully mourn those lost in battle on this Memorial Day, but to understand why they fought and sacrificed.

There was a time in American history when almost every student would learn about the intricacies of American wars from a young age. In famous historian George Bancroft’s History of the United States of America, the standard history textbook in the 19th century, the battles of the American Revolution played almost more of a role than the ideas.

Bancroft focused on the sacrifice, toil, and hardship that George Washington’s troops faced and highlighted the necessity for this service to the new republic. This encouraged young Americans to join the ranks when their country called in the Civil War; they were inculcated with a belief that they owed a great debt to the previous generation for the great Constitution that protected their liberties and a duty to defend it for those that would come after. Without their sacrifices, and the service of generations of Americans, our grand experiment in liberty and government of, for, and by the people would have faded long ago.

Unfortunately, for modern American students, the “mystic chords of memory” connecting them with past defenders of liberty and the Constitution are being lost. How many today are taught about the suffering at Valley Forge, the heroism at Gettysburg’s Little Round Top, or the world-changing Invasion of Normandy that set a continent free?

Worse, students are left with a serious lack of insight into human nature and will be unprepared when war finally comes.

Thomas K. Lindsey, director at the Center for Higher Education at the Texas Public Policy Foundation, recently wrote about the frightening lack of military history education at American universities. If the seeds of war are planted in human nature, the study of human nature, the humanities, needs to take account of it. For this reason, American history courses had always — up until recently — offered military-history courses,” he continued. “No more: Observers have noted an alarming decline in military-history courses in university history departments nationally.

Leftist Revisionist

by WhatDidYouSay.org

This lack of military history teaching is bad at the primary and secondary levels of education, but even worse at the university level where any focus on war itself is intentionally diminished. In an article by military historian Victor Davis Hanson he explains the results of a 2004 survey of the top 25 U.S. history departments:

When war does show up on university syllabi, it’s often about the race, class, and gender of combatants and wartime civilians. So a class on the Civil War will focus on the Underground Railroad and Reconstruction, not on Chancellorsville and Gettysburg. One on World War II might emphasize Japanese internment, Rosie the Riveter, and the horror of Hiroshima, not Guadalcanal and Midway.

Great works on war like Thucydides’ Peloponnesian War, Stephen Crane’s Red Badge of Courage, and Carl Von Clausewitz’s On War are now utterly neglected.

The burying of military history in modern academia may be a result of the generally anti-war views on college campuses, or a result of it not fitting in with the overall ideological agenda, but regardless of the specific excuse, it is a great disservice to those who want to be educated about the consequences of human nature. Citizens must have insight in how to avoid unnecessary wars and win necessary ones. Hanson had it right when he said: “A wartime public illiterate about the conflicts of the past can easily find itself paralyzed in the acrimony of the present. Without standards of historical comparison, it will prove ill equipped to make informed judgments.”

So, this Memorial Day it is important for Americans to re-learn the lessons of war, especially as the conflict in Ukraine continues to heat up and great powers like Russia and China become increasingly belligerent. We serve the honored dead by becoming informed about our nation’s great and small conflicts, and serve ourselves by cultivating a stronger understanding of human nature and the horrors of war, which will be priceless when, inevitably, the next battle comes.

Capturing America’s Heart: A Third Awakening?


http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/us/2014/May/Casting-a-Gospel-Net-Across-the-Nations-Heart/

By Paul Strand

Sunday, May 25, 2014

sparkWASHINGTON — Some religious leaders say America is facing a spiritually dark time.

“At the root of America’s problem, we really have a spiritual cancer that’s been eating away at our nation,” Bishop Harry Jackson, senior pastor of Hope Christian Church in Beltsville, Maryland, told CBN News.

Retired Gen. Jerry Boykin used to fight America’s physical enemies overseas. He’s now working with the Family Research Council fighting spiritual foes.

Boykin said without a Third Great Awakening, forces like those that took down mighty empires of the past will also bring down the United States.

“We’re going to wind up exactly like these other great empires, which only lasted on an average about 200 years,” he said. “We’re going to completely self-destruct. And you see the beginnings of that now.”

***This Fourth of July, a two-week celebration called Celebrate America is being planned in the nation’s capital designed to bring hope back to our country. For more information click here.

South Africa-born revivalist Rodney Howard-Browne pastors The River at Tampa Bay, a mega-church in Tampa, Florida.

“In the 1700s, there was a Great Awakening. In the 1800s, there was another. And we have to have one now. It’s that critical,” he told CBN News.

Bishop Jackson ticked off some of the sins he says are plaguing the land.

“We’ve got sex-trafficking,” he said. “We’ve got abortion. We’ve got the resurgence of racism. We’ve got hatred that is abounding.”

Howard-Browne pointed to the epidemics of abortion and illegal drug use in the nation.

“Three-thousand babies aborted every single day in this country. We have over 300 million people; we use over 70 percent of the world’s drugs,” he said.

God’s Not Finished Yet

But Howard-Browne sees a special grace on America.

“Knowing what I know, we should be gone a long time ago,” he said. “But it’s the believer in this land and the hand of God that’s still on America. And God’s not finished with this land. So it’s time for the Church to rise up.”

Those past awakenings led to national transformation.

“Both resulted in extraordinary things happening,” Boykin said.

The first in the mid-1700s was a unifying factor for the colonies as it spread throughout them. It awakened in Christians a hunger to live in a land that reflected the God of liberty portrayed in the Bible.

“Ultimately, it brought the American Revolution as the pastors and the people within the Church began to seek a new nation that would give them the kinds of freedoms that they believed were biblical,” Boykin stated.

The next awakening in the early 1800s was marked by mass salvations. And as Americans became free in Christ, many could no longer abide the lack of freedom for the nation’s slaves.

“In that Second Great Awakening, it brought about the Civil War as the conscience of America was raised to a level that would no longer tolerate slavery,” Boykin explained.

The Power of Believers

Gen. Boykin believes the power to save the United States is not in politicians, but in its believers.

“Me plus the Holy Spirit: that’s a majority,” he said.

Bishop Jackson agreed.

Awakenings really begin with individuals: people who are converted and transformed,” he said.

Now, these spiritual leaders and their allies hope to bring revival power to so many Americans, it will spark a Third Great Awakening.

They’ll be holding 14 days and nights of mega-sized meetings and street evangelism in the nation’s capital as America celebrates its 238th birthday. They’re calling it Celebrate America.

“We’ve come to light the fires right in the belly of the beast, if you can put it that way,” Howard-Browne said.

He believes God sent him and his family from South Africa decades ago to help ignite national revival.

He said God told him, “‘There’s coming a revival of signs and wonders and the lost.’ And He said, ‘Go tell the Church to get ready for the coming revival.'”

These Washington-based events will be held in the first three weeks of July. By day, thousands of specially trained Christians will hit the streets of D.C. to evangelize and bring new converts to the Kingdom of God.

“We’re just really believing God to cast a Gospel net across the capital,” Howard-Browne stated.

Transformation Starts at the Top

If organizers get what they want, a country hungry for unity and leadership will see national political, business, and spiritual leaders humbling themselves as one before God.

“We’ll be coming together in the very hub of the nation and crying out to God for Him to transform us first and then transform our nation,” Jackson said.

Jackson, Howard-Browne, and Boykin believe that then revival could sweep America.

“If the fear of God would come back in the people, it would have a ripple effect throughout the land,” Howard-Browne said.

“The Holy Spirit is contagious,” Boykin said with a broad grin.

For this event in Washington D.C. to succeed, the organizers of Celebrate America say they need thousands of Christians who already have the fire of revival burning in their hearts to volunteer in Washington this July.

Howard-Browne said they could have a major impact serving as spiritual soldiers in this war for the nation’s heart.

Jackson pleaded, “I’m asking ‘We the People’ to come help us, if you love America, if you love the nation.”

‘Breaking Point’: Democrats Privately Call Obama ‘Detached’ and ‘Incompetent,’ Says CNN’s John King

Obama feet on desk 
“The veterans’ health scandal is more than just another 2008 promise,” begins the normally Obama-sycophantic CNN host John King, then showing a clip from 2008 of Obama talking about veterans’ healthcare, saying, “I want to make sure they’re being treated with honor and respect.”

King says that Obama’s press conference this week on the VA (Veterans’ Affairs) scandal, in which he made, in King’s own words, a “wait-and-see” approach to addressing the scandal in which untold number of veterans were left to die waiting for care from the government-run health care agency, could be remembered as the “breaking point.”

King explained to his “Inside Politics” audience that Democrats are privately making “scathing” comments about Obama, calling him, “detached, flat-footed and even incompetent,” in the wake of the VA scandal, combined with his non-action in dealing with his other many scandals:

More and more Democrats in 2014 races are calling for the president to get a spine, they say, and fire his Veterans’ Affairs secretary.  And, what more and more Democrats are saying privately is scathing, calling the president and his team ‘detached, flat-footed,’ even ‘incompetent.’

Sketching A Tribute: Honoring Those Who Gave All, Memorial Day 2014


http://clashdaily.com/2014/05/sketching-tribute-honoring-gave-memorial-day-2014/#eDSlBvzvIrs7vX3S.99

bowers mem day 1

Below are some small sketches in remembrance of Memorial Day. They are a small expression of respect for the guys who have paid such an awful price to procure and preserve our freedoms. Stylistically, they owe much to Bill Mauldin, long time cartoonist for stars and stripes and political cartoonist for other newspapers in civilian life. He was my hero when I discovered his book, “Up front” in fifth grade. 

I once saw a film about combat artists in WW II. They had wild stories, but the funniest was from a Marine who said being a combat artist in the Corps was not easy. The only real advantage over his fellow Marines was that when he went over the side and down the cargo netting into a landing craft he was not only carrying the standard kit and rifle, weighing about seventy pounds, but he was also honored with the opportunity to carry his “art gear” consisting of an “easel, paint box and bottles of turpentine.” Made a fellow wanna join up. Imagine hitting the Pacific beaches, under fire, with all that stuff strapped onto your pack. Forget the art stuff, just imagine hitting the beach with anything strapped to your back. 

I don’t recall him saying he had any time to draw or paint. At least, not for a while.

Marines…whatta you gonna do?

What a price our vets paid and what a debt we owe them. 

The drawings below don’t depict any particular story, but are meant to convey the general boredom and grime these guys endured while displaying friendliness, attention to duty and honor. Just regular boys from farms, ranches, reservations, small towns and big cities. Some of them, perhaps, were like U.S. Grant, who couldn’t run a hardware store in civilian life, but did the job under enemy fire. 
bowers mem day 2

My Dad, uncle and their first cousin (whose little brother didn’t come back) would always sit around and talk about things they witnessed growing up and during WW II. They never talked about the horror. They only told stories about the goofball officers they sometimes served under. Their pals’ misadventures, getting into messes and how strange the places were they visited. (Apparently, there were places in Europe and the Pacific which were not remotely similar to farm life in  Jennings and Ripley County, Indiana.)

bowers mem day 3

They also told stories with embedded life-lessons. My dad once explained everything a person needs to know about race relations (which began to be healed in the military in WW II). He didn’t tell me what to think, but just recounted a conversation among sergeants around a pot-bellied stove in an army barracks one cold night in Japan. After the story I understood.

And that Marine combat artist was being interviewed in his seventies. He was still painting and having a ball. He survived. He probably shucked his easel and paints on the sand and focused on his skills with his M-1 Garand. It’s like drawing stuff in courtrooms. You have to sometimes pay close attention to things around you. You can always fill in the dull interludes with your drawing pad and pen later…when nobody is yelling at you…or overruling your objections…or rolling their eyes at your arguments…or shooting at you.

Obama is Guilty of Dereliction of Duty, Malpractice, Criminal Neglect and Treason


http://godfatherpolitics.com/15686/obama-guilty-dereliction-duty-malpractice-criminal-neglect-treason/#ibF6lTbJ4kYeOrKs.99

On this Memorial Day, we are called to remember and honor our loved ones, friends and others who served and died protecting our country and securing our freedoms. Like so many others, I have family members who served and died and a number who served and lived. I chose to honor them all on this day as they were all willing to make the ultimate sacrifice to protect you, me and the American way of life.

Sadly, President Barack Obama would rather honor and pay tribute to the millions of illegal aliens rather than to the men and women who fought and served our nation. Undoubtedly, Obama will visit Arlington National Cemetery and pay a fake homage to our fallen heroes, but his real actions as president reveal how he truly feels about those who sacrificed for his freedoms.

Just weigh the difference between what Obama does for our veterans versus what he does for illegal aliens.

As I previously reported on the VA hospital in Phoenix and how dozens of veterans died while waiting for appointments that were intentionally delayed. Now we are hearing that it wasn’t just at the Phoenix VA but at many of the VA facilities around the nation. Hundreds of veterans, perhaps thousands have been denied the medical treatment they are entitled to for serving our country.

In addition, did you know that in Los Angeles, nearly 40,000 diagnostic tests and treatments for veterans suffering from a number of illnesses, including cancer, were intentionally cancelled just to hide their backlog from the Washington bureaucrats? It seems that no one in the Obama administration cares for our veterans as they place their job performance over the lives and health of the veterans.

Men and women who have served in the military are now being discriminated against and targeted for owning guns. TSA agents have treated a number of them as if they were terrorists. Obama has taken away a number of benefits from our military personnel. He has been systematically stripping our military personnel of their rights, especially those that are Christians. Obama goes out of the way to criticized and condemn US military personnel for the disrespectful treatment of dead Taliban terrorists, but he remains silent when those same terrorists beheaded Army Staff Sgt. Matt Maupin, an American taken as a POW.

Now take a look at how Obama and his administration take care of the millions of illegal aliens here in the US.

In New York, doctors are reporting that up to 40% of their kidney dialysis patients are illegals. Worse yet, a survey revealed that 65% of the nephrologists in 44 states indicated they treat illegals with some form of kidney disease.

While veterans are being denied proper medical care, illegals are rapidly depleting state budgets by all of the free medical care they receive. It was reported that illegals cost the state of Arizona around $700 million in 2009 alone. My family and friends have told me about a number of urgent care and emergency centers in the southern part of Arizona that have closed because they can’t afford to treat all of the illegals the feds force them to. Arizona residents in these smaller communities are now forced to travel a lot further for all of their medical emergency needs.

California lawmakers are in the process of extending Obamacare health benefits to 1.5 million illegals at taxpayer expense. In a state that is already facing a budget deficit of billions of dollars, they’re willing to go further in debt to help illegals while denying veterans in the state proper medical treatment.

While more and more veterans are being turned down for gun purchases and ownership by the federal background checks, illegals are being given in-state tuition in 16 states. Three other states have approved tuition benefits for illegals. The University of California at Berkeley, now by former HHS Secretary Janet Napolitano, is offering $5 million in financial aid for illegals to attend the school.

When you add all of this up,

  • President Barack Obama is guilty of dereliction of duty for failing to secure our borders;

  • guilty of malpractice for failing to provide proper care for our veterans and active military personnel;

  • and guilty of treason for putting the well-being of illegal aliens ahead of our veterans and military personnel.

So when you see our ‘Traitor in Chief’ today acting like he cares for our fallen heroes, remember what a liar and hypocrite he is. I do hope that you take time to honor the fallen, the wounded and those still serving our nation. In spite of everything Obama has done to destroy our military, there are still many of them that are worth honoring.

To my Great Uncle Oard Meneese Richardson who died in World War I in Germany on June 11, 1918 – thank you. To my father, Willie E. Jolly who served 6 years in the US Navy from 1940 to 1946; to his brother, Donald B. Jolly who served 4 years in the US Navy during World War 2; to my wife’s brother Robert M. Watson who served during the Korean War; to my older brother Robert C. Jolly who served in the US Air Force during Vietnam; to my wife’s nephews Christopher, Justin and Jason Watson who all served during the conflict in Iraq – THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!

Mexican Drug Cartels Threaten Texas Cops: Accept Bribes or Die


http://freedomoutpost.com/2014/05/mexican-drug-cartels-threaten-texas-cops-accept-bribes-die/#tDZ7pQJOdsXBEAZo.99

Reported by

Residents of El Paso, TX have witnessed a disturbing sight which would seem to be a direct threat to local police. Two billboards on I-10 have been defaced with a hanging effigy and the words “Plata o plomo” which means “silver or lead.” It is believed to be a message from Mexican Drug cartels to local law enforcement to “accept bribes or die.”

The Obama Administration released 68,000 criminally convicted illegals back to the streets in 2013.

Let’s not forget the fact that Eric Holder and Barack Obama were both highly instrumental in arming Mexican Drug Cartels through the now infamous “Fast and Furious” debacle.

Despite obvious problems, legislators are in a rush to push the amnesty bill through, presumably before 2014 elections in a political move.

Yet, when someone even mentions the fact that we should fix our borders and enforce current laws, before thinking about immigration reform, they are labeled racist.

Take a good look at those hanging effigies in El Paso. Because south of the Border those ropes have been known to have real human beings attached to the end.

On a side note, did you know that many of the Islamic terrorists that enter our country come through our Southern border? Here is a short clip from 2010 about a growing problem with the Arizona section of that border.

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO SEE THIS NEWS REPORT BELOW:

southern border

 Is this really what we want America?

Immigration cannot be a free-for-all as it has become under the Obama Administration. We don’t even have enough jobs for the people in the here and now. Letting more and more people in illegally is just inviting more and more crime as there are not enough jobs and resources to support the masses.

How can we support more people when we are failing to take care of our own?

Resist AmnestyHow can you justify amnesty and open border policies when it takes food off of your family table?

Is it worth that in hope that a few more Hispanics might vote for your establishment republicans?

The Mexican Drug cartels are a problem for sure, and there have been reports of politicians within the states helping them, but that is only the tip of the iceberg. Throw a bunch of Islamic terrorists on top of that and we have a real problem.

Secure the borders and enforce the law. Then we can talk about what changes might be needed to the Immigration Laws. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that many of our problems stem from the fact that we have not been enforcing these laws as they are written.

It’s just common sense.

The Slow, Sure Death of “Climate Change” Lies


http://www.tpnn.com/2014/05/23/the-slow-sure-death-of-climate-change-lies/

May 23, 2014 By

Obama-Climate-Change 
Even though President Obama continues to lie about “climate change” and employs the many elements of the federal government to repeat those lies, this huge hoax is dying.


Leftist State ReligionObama is on record saying that climate change “once considered an issue for the distant future, has moved firmly into the present” and is “affecting Americans right now.” Climate change as studied by climatologists is measured in terms of centuries whereas the weather is what is happening today. It has been happening before and since the rise of civilization. Obama’s claim that “climate-related changes are outside of recent experience” and “have become more frequent and/or intense” is a lie from start to finish.


The White House recently released its latest “National Climate Assessment.” It is 841 pages of outlandish claims that reflect the lies generated by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. When you consider that the federal government spends an estimated $2.6 billion annually in grants for climate research, about the only beneficiaries are those “scientists” employed to further the hoax.


The UN’s IPCC was created in 1983 and has issued a series of reports whose sole intention has been to frighten people around the world with claims of global warming that are scientifically baseless.


The Heartland Institute, a non-profit market-based think tank, responded by creating the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC) and by sponsoring a series of international conferences. The 9th conference will be July 7-9 in Las Vegas. That effort began in 2003 in cooperation with the Science & Environmental Project led by Dr. S. Fred Singer and was joined by the Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change.


I am an advisor to the Institute, having written about environmental and energy issues for several decades at this point. s fifth assessment. This year, it has published a volume of Climate Change Reconsidered devoted to biological impacts, a 1,062 page opus. The NIPCC is an international panel of scientists and scholars with no government affiliation or sponsorship, and it receives no corporate funding.
Solid-Foundation-600-wLogoWriting in the Financial Post in October 2013, Lawrence Solomon, the executive director of Energy Probe, a Toronto-based environmental group, noted that “solar activity is now falling more rapidly than at any time in the last 10,000 years.” The Earth’s climate is primarily a reflection of solar radiation or the lack of it. From 1300 to 1850, the Earth was subject to a mini-ice age. While the global warming hoax began in the late 1980s, Solomon noted that, in the 1960s and 1970s, the scientific consensus was that the Earth “was entering a period of global cooling. The media in those years was filled with stories about a pending new ice age.
It was only the intervention of the UN’s IPCC that changed the “consensus” to one of global warming. A cooling cycle that began around fourteen years ago could lead to another mini-ice age or the planet could be on the cusp of a full-fledged one. On average, the interglacial periods of the Earth have lasted about 11,500 years and we are at the end of such a period.
Climate Change Reconsidered II devoted to biological impact features scientific studies that conclude:

# “Atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) is not a pollutant.” Considering that all vegetation on Earth depends on it, it is not surprising that another conclusion was that the ongoing rise in the air’s CO2 content is causing a great greening of the Earth.

# As a result, “there is little or no risk of increasing food insecurity due to global warming or rising atmospheric CO2 levels and that terrestrial ecosystems have thrived throughout the world as a result of warming temperatures and rising levels of atmospheric CO2. Multiple lines of evidence indicate animal species are adapting, and in some cases, evolving, to cope with climate change of the modern era.”

# In addition, “rising temperatures and atmospheric CO2 levels to no pose a significant threat to aquatic life and that a modest warming of the planet will result in a net reduction of human mortality from temperate-related events.”

nature is my religionThe irony of the latest NIPCC report, of course, is that it responds to the claims of global warming and carbon dioxide’s role at a time when the Earth is cooling. It makes one wish that all the talk about “greenhouse gases” is true enough to help us escape from the present cooling.
One thing we do know for sure is that the Greens talk of climate change has lost its grip on the public imagination and attention. As the cooling cycle continues, people around the world will be far more focused on increased evidence of massive ice sheets at both poles, on frozen lakes and rivers, on shortened growing seasons, and on the desperate need for more fossil fuels to warm our homes and workplaces.

Franklin Graham Calls on Pastors to Speak Out on Abortion, Homosexuality; Says ‘God Hates Cowards’


http://www.christianpost.com/news/franklin-graham-calls-on-pastors-to-speak-out-on-abortion-homosexuality-says-god-hates-cowards-120265/

Franklin Graham

(Photo: The Christian Post / Sonny Hong) Rev. Franklin Graham addressing pastors at the Watchmen on the Wall National Briefing, held at the Hyatt Regency on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC on Thursday, May 22, 2014.

WASHINGTON – The Rev. Franklin Graham told a large gathering of pastors on Thursday to address controversial issues from the pulpit, declaring that “God hates cowards.”

Graham, president and CEO of Samaritan’s Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, based his remarks on Revelation 21:8, wherein God lists eight groups of people who will be “in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

Of groups like murderers, idolaters, unbelievers, and others, the first group of persons listed were the cowardly. It was this first group that Graham focused on for his speech, titled “Standing Strong on the Controversial Issues,” at the Thursday evening session for the 2014 Watchmen on the Wall National Briefing.

“The definition of a coward: a coward will not confront an issue that needs to be confronted due to fear. That is a coward,” said Graham.

“God hates cowards. And the cowards that the Lord is referring to are the men and women who know the truth but refuse to speak it.”

In his remarks at the dinner session, Graham spoke about the need for churches to speak out against abortion and homosexuality, declaring that “you’re not going to shut me up.”

“We have a responsibility to speak on the moral issues. Abortion, homosexuality, these are moral issues. This is a free country, you can do what you want to do but I want you to know it’s a sin against God. This is a sin,” said Graham.

Graham mentioned how he has “friends who are pastors” who say they want to preach the Gospel and not “become targets.”

“Well don’t you think the Lord Jesus Christ was a target?” asked Graham. “Could we get our heads chopped off? We could, maybe one day. So what? Chop it off!”

Franklin Graham

Graham’s remarks were part of a multiday conference organized by the Family Research Council. Held from Wednesday to Friday, the Watchmen on the Wall National Briefing was geared toward pastors and encouraging churches to become more involved in politics, social issues, and public policy.

Featured speakers included Pastor Rafael Cruz, the father of U.S. Senator Ted Cruz; Bishop Harry Jackson, author and senior pastor of Hope Christian Church in Beltsville, Maryland; Joyce Meyer of Joyce Meyer Ministries; U.S. Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, and several others.

For the Thursday evening dinner portion, attendees experienced worship led by contemporary Christian singer Charles Billingsley and were present to see awards given to assorted pastors for their actions on religious liberty.

The last honoree for the evening was Graham. FRC President Tony Perkins commended Graham for his actions in the public sphere.

“Franklin is not the pastor of a church, but in a real sense he is a pastor to America’s pastors,” said Perkins before presenting Graham with the 2014 Watchman Award.

“And in that role, he has sounded the alarm and raised the righteous standard as have few other leaders in our time.”

The son of the famous evangelist Billy Graham, Franklin Graham has garnered controversy in recent years for his remarks on same-sex marriage, Islam, and President Barack Obama.

Some have contrasted his public career with that of his father, arguing that Franklin Graham has taken more overtly political positions than Billy Graham has.

Medicaid! It’s FREE!


Webster’s will be soon changing the definition of “free.” The new definition will read: “paid for by US taxpayers.” Medicaid is going to be the picture next to the definition. There are a number of enormous problems with ObamaCare, probably the biggest is its impact on Medicaid.

Medicaid is a program that has historically covered the poor, until ObamaCare it covered children under 6 and pregnant women whose family income was less than 133% of the federal poverty level and children 6-18 for families at 100% of the FPL. ObamaCare changed all that.

States that accepted the Medicaid expansion now have to cover everyone below 133% of the FPL. Everyone.

Complete MessageThe Obama administration offered some cheese to the mouse in order to get the states to accept this suicide pact. The feds are paying (that means you) for 100% of the incremental cost of the new enrollees. Except that they’re going to phase down to 90% of the incremental cost by 2020.

In addition, there’s a group of people known as the “Medicaid woodwork” who aren’t included in the “Fed pays for it” deal. It turns out that the participation rate for people who are eligible for Medicaid is about 62%. As those who are eligible come into Medicaid, thanks to a huge advertising program, those costs are going to add to the state’s burden for health care cost. Right now the states pay for 57% of the Medicaid cost.

Oh, and there’s no “guarantee” that the feds are going to continue to pay up at 90% for the incremental people they are covering.

The Medicaid population is expanding by huge numbers. Just try and get those new medical welfare recipients off the rolls.

GET READY TO STAND IN LINE TO SEE A MEDICAL(?). IT WON’T BE A DOCTOR. IT MAY NOT BE A PHYCISANS ASSISTANCE. IT MAY BE ONLY A NURSE. HOW IS THAT VOTE FOR CHANGE DOING FOR YOU NOW?

Then there’s the “doctor problem” illustrated by, where else, California.

The number of Medi-Cal patients has grown sharply, thanks to Obamacare, but the number of doctors willing to see them has not. In fact, the number of doctors in California willing to take Medi-Cal patients could drop once planned cuts to reimbursement rates kick in next year.

States will be cutting reimbursement rates to doctors in order to balance their budgets. Remember that most states have requirements to balance their state budgets.

Dr. Esteban Lovato is a longtime supporter of the Medi-Cal program. He told the Times that he currently gets about $42 to see each Medi-Cal patient. But next year when rates revert to Medi-Cal rates, including a ten percent cut included in next year’s budget, his reimbursement per patient could drop to $21. That would make it very difficult for him to continue to take Medi-Cal patients. It would also ensure that his colleagues in the medical profession would be less likely to start seeing them.

There’s another problem connected to the new Medi-Cal enrollees. The push to enroll people in Obamacare also brought hundreds of thousands of people who were previously eligible out of the woodwork. But unlike expanded Medicaid where the federal government pays the cost, in the case of people who were previously eligible, the state pays half the cost of their coverage. Governor Jerry Brown just added $1.2 billion to next year’s budget to cover the costs of the additional 800,000 Medi-Cal recipients who fall into this category.

That $1.2 billion is just the start. Just wait until the federal 90% target drops to, oh say, 47%. And, for states like California, if Obama/Boehner get their way on illegal aliens, they’ll get another three or four million Medi-Cal enrollees overnight. Don’t expect the feds to cover those either.

If you’d like to know where all this is going, just look at the VA Hospital scandal.

Either there will be backlogs of patients unable to make appointments because there are not enough doctors to see them, or the state will be forced to increase the amount doctors are reimbursed. In the former case, the patients will experience delayed care. In the latter, the taxpayers will be asked to come up with billions more to cover the cost.

Democrats to GOP: You Have Until August to Pass Amnesty… or Else


http://www.tpnn.com/2014/05/23/democrats-to-gop-you-have-until-august-to-pass-amnesty-or-else/

May 23, 2014 By

Schumer

Democrat Sen. Chuck Schumer. The face of Leftist arrogance.

 
Clearly violating the separation of powers between the governmental branches, Democrat lawmakers have instructed Speaker of the House John Boehner to pass immigration reform before August, but have also issued a looming ultimatum of dubious legality; Boehner is to pass the legislation or else President Obama will act unilaterally. Tyranney Alert

Furthermore, the Democrats have maintained that they will not accept incremental reforms, but are demanding a thorough immigration reform package by August… or else.

“Here is the bottom line,” Democrat Sen. Chuck Schumer said. “They have about a six-week window, from June 10 after the last Republican primary till the August recess. If they don’t pass immigration reform then, the president will have no choice but to act on his own.” 

“I don’t know about you, but I do not respond well when being threatened. Why would Speaker of the House John Boehner accept it? The utter arrogance that the Left now have. They no longer are hiding their tyrannical foundations. Now it’s no longer any effort to find points of agreement. Now it is tyrannical threats and ultimatums.” JB

Resist AmnestyOf course, the assertion that the president would have “no choice but to act on his own” is a little misleading. For example, the president could accept that the sole purpose of the legislative body is not to advance his legislative agenda and could respect the boundaries of his office.
“We are not going to go along with minor fixes that fail to address the huge systematic problems of our immigration system today,” Schumer continued.
While Democrats point to Republicans as the cause of delay on immigration reform, Speaker Boehner has continually reiterated a point that appears obvious to conservatives: President Obama simply cannot be trusted to enforce our laws. Any legislation passed that includes an ounce of enforcement mandates would almost certainly be selectively enforced at a time when the Obama Administration has become increasingly selective with what laws they will, or will not, enforce.

In a Republic such as ours, it is wholly inappropriate to issue ultimatums that promise unilateral action on the part of the president when the legislative body does not act in accordance with his wishes.

It seems Democrats will have a tough time convincing Republicans that President Obama respects the rule of law when his alternative to GOP resistance is unilateral tyranny.

Gun Powder and Estrogen – Good Idea or Deadly Combination?


http://clashdaily.com/2014/05/gun-powder-estrogen-good-idea-deadly-combination/#UzqlQ4bzdSll0QKK.99

By / 22 May 2014

girls-carrying-guns-israel-jew-10

I was on the range the other day teaching a class. About half my students are women these days. Ten years ago it wasn’t like that: I was lucky to get one female in a group of twenty. So I was watching this lady shoot, and noticed her bullet group was pretty tight, but about a foot and a half low on the silhouette.

I watched her shoot for a while, and couldn’t find any problems with her form, breathing control, trigger control, or any of the other basics. Finally, I said to her, “Do you always shoot so low?” She quickly responded, “Only when I’m going through a divorce.”

“Ouch!” I commented on her nice bullet group and quietly backed away without pissing her off.

That prompted me to rethink the wisdom of arming angry women who’ve been abused by men. Is it really a good idea to mix hormones and gun powder? We don’t mix guns and alcohol, or guns and drugs, but hormones are kind of like a drug aren’t they? I don’t know. I’m still thinking about that one.

I recall a few years back my wife kept begging me to buy her a Taurus Judge. (That’s a five shot revolver chambered for .410 shotgun shells or 45 caliber long colts.) But I kept balking at the idea. I just thought it might be too much gun for her. But my Sara is a persistent and persuasive woman, so she never let up. Finally, after almost a year, I asked her, “Honey, why in the world do you want to carry such a big gun?” Just like the groin-shooting divorcee on the range, she responded without missing a beat. “Because if I have to shoot somebody, I want to see body parts flying off!”

“Ouch again!” I immediately ran out and purchased Sara a Taurus Judge. As a husband and personal defense instructor, that just seemed like sage advice to me. Anyone worth shooting is worth shooting right, and you best not leave any witnesses to dispute your story. I have to admit, my wife gained a greater measure of respect (and fear) from me on that day. I was reminded of the time back in 1993 when Lorena Bobbitt severed her husband’s “special” member with a knife. I decided to sleep on my stomach for a while.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I love my wife, dearly, and she’s a pretty good shot. We make a good husband and wife self-defense team. We have an agreement: in case of a gun fight, I’ll draw their fire, then she can use my dead body for cover while dispatching the bad guys.

Perhaps I should rethink that one too.

The other day I came home from work, and Sara was crying. Being the kind, warm and sensitive man that I am, I asked, “Honey, what’s wrong?” She said innocently through uncontrolled tears, “I don’t know.”

Like most men I was confused. So I just held her and cogitated on it for a while. Finally, a light bulb went off in my head. (Not a Greensaver bulb, but one of those old, politically incorrect ones that are supposed to use more energy.) I looked at the calendar, and said, “Oh, I know what’s wrong.” It was that time again. At least it’s predictable.

And then I got to thinking again about gun powder and hormones. Is it really any worse for women than for men? I mean, really. Men are just big bags of skin filled with testosterone, which, last time I checked, is a very powerful, mood-altering hormone. It makes men feel mean, grumpy and aggressive. Hell, it’ll even make hair grow on your eyeballs if you get too much of it.

So I don’t really think we should worry too much about mixing estrogen and gun powder. After all, think about it. Most violent crimes aren’t committed by estrogen-filled women, but by testosterone-crazed men. Women are less likely to rape, pillage and plunder than their male counterparts. In fact, they are more in need of a firearm than we are, simply because they are more often the victim of violent crime than the perpetrator.

So, now that I’ve thought it all out, I’ve decided to teach groin shooting as a reliable and effective means of stopping the threat. After all, there’s a lot of good stuff down there: femoral arteries, pelvic bones, along with other delicate “soft-tissue” targets of opportunity.

Yes, I think estrogen on the range is just fine. And maybe it’s time I taught a class in groin shooting.

Where is the # Campaign for Meriam Yehya Ibrahim?


Husband of Christian woman sentenced to death for faith says she won’t convert

http://www.foxnews.com/world/2014/05/24/husband-christian-woman-sentenced-to-death-for-faith-says-wont-convert/

An American citizen whose pregnant wife has been sentenced to death in Sudan for refusing to renounce her Christian faith told Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren Friday that his wife is staying strong in her convictions despite her ordeal.

Meriam Yehya Ibrahim, 27, whose Christian husband Daniel Wani holds American citizenship, has been held in a Sudanese prison along with her 20-month old son for more than three months.

Last week, in a decision that drew international condemnation, a judge in Khartoum sentenced her to death by hanging once she gives birth and nurses her child for two years, because she would not renounce her Christianity.

Wani said on “On the Record with Greta Van Susteren” that when his wife’s ordeal began he went to the U.S. embassy and tried to report the case. However, he said he was told to go to the UN because his wife is not an American.

“I say I am an American and she is a doctor, you have to help her but she refuse to do anything,” Wani said of a counselor at the embassy he spoke to.

U.S. lawmakers including GOP Sens. Marco Rubio and Kelly Ayotte have pressed the Obama administration to grant asylum to Ibrahim.

Wani said the conditions in the prison are “not good.”

“Her mood is not good…as you know, prison is not a good place,” he said.

However he said despite her ordeal, Ibrahim is staying strong in her convictions.

“She said she is not going to convert to Islam,” he said. “And let them do whatever they want to do but she is still a Christian and she is a Christian since she was born.”

Wani said on that those want to help his wife should pressure the Sudanese government to set her free.

Obama blames Founding Fathers

Can you imagine an Obama constitution? It would include the bill of government requirements. Check it out:

President Obama is taking a swipe at the Founding Fathers, blaming his inability to move his agenda on the “disadvantage” of having each state represented equally in the Senate.

At a Democratic fundraiser in Chicago Thursday night, Mr. Obama told a small group of wealthy supporters that there are several hurdles to keeping Democrats in control of the Senate and recapturing the House. One of those problems, he said, is the apportionment of two Senate seats to each state regardless of population.

“Obviously, the nature of the Senate means that California has the same number of Senate seats as Wyoming. That puts us at a disadvantage,” Mr. Obama said.

Community Organizer TwoThe Founding Fathers decided in the “Great Compromise” in 1787 to apportion House seats based on population and give each state two seats in the Senate regardless of population. The solution was a compromise between large states and small states in a dispute that nearly dissolved the Constitutional Convention.

Obama’s Plans for the United States

http://tomohalloran.com/2014/01/30/obamas-plans-united-states/

January 30, 2014

Former-Presidents-Warn-About-the-“Invisible-Government”-Running-the-United-StatesThe “former” United States and Obama all in one title? What is going on here? Have we seen something very few others have seen? Have we found something others have over looked? Have we discovered the real plan of Obama’s ideology based upon his “radical” ideas? Have we asked the question thousands of other so-called reporters have just refused to ask or even consider? What do we mean here? How can we make such a statement about the President? How could we even state, “former” United States? Follow this article and the following article closely, and at the end we will show you Obama’s plans as they have been laid out for him and all Socialists, Marxists and Communists that wish to ruin the United States once and for all.

We can make this claim for several reasons; some based upon an individual, an individual who Obama studied and not just Karl Marx. Let us begin this by showing what Obama’s plan is. We’ll also show what and how this compares to certain individuals that Obama studied, following their ideologies that are designed to undermine both the United States and our Constitution; the law of the land.

See if the following ideas apply to what Obama is now doing. It should become evident after reading the very first rule below.

1.) Healthcare – Control healthcare and you control the people

Barack Obama is doing just what this idea states! But how could this be a fact, how could this be true that Obama was following a plan that was neither his nor that was something new? We will continue with this with just 8 of these ideas and at the end we will show where these ideas really came from and most will be surprised that Obama is just rehashing old ideas!

2.) Poverty – Increase the Poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live.

We can see that this rule or idea is being used the most by Obama and his administration simply due to the large amount of people now in poverty in the United States. Has anyone wondered why our nation now has almost as many people in poverty than we have working? It is just a part of a huge plan; one that Obama is working on each and every day to bring about his idea of change; one that destroys the United States and brings forth a new nation that is more of a police state rather than a free state!

3.) Debt – Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty.

We can see proof that has never been shown by any so-called reporters! The most incredible part about this one rule that Obama is using is that all the politicians are walking right along with Obama driving up the nation’s debt until it becomes so bad that it actually becomes just what this rule has laid out to the tee. This is shown by the increasing taxes through the health care act that was used through the first rule. You should read this rule again just to understand that the entire idea here is to drive the poverty level up so that government can control the people it wants to control. These are the very same politicians who are saying they are helping!

4.) Gun Control – Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a police state.

Obama is not out to accomplish anything good with his gun control agenda. His agenda is not the action of stopping murders, it is just what this rule states here and nothing else. Has anyone ever wondered why Obama said he respected the Second Amendment until after the election where he then said we need tighter gun control laws, and just in the last few months Obama had his Secretary of State, John Kerry, sign the United Nations Small Arms Treaty which is an action that would allow for each and every gun owner to register their guns, and after a period of time, come by and confiscate them.

“Special note. A disarmed populace is easy to tyrannize. They can’t fight back.” JB

5.) Welfare – Take control of every aspect of their lives (Food, Housing, and Income) 

Here we find that more people are on Welfare than at any other time in our history. Obama has already accomplished this through the use of the Affordable Care Act and the Fair Housing Act he supported while he was in the organization of ACORN. When Obama worked with ACORN, he also worked with the attorneys that produced the act, which caused the first housing bubble, forcing the banks to “qualify” people for homes even though they could not afford it.

6.) Education – Take control of what people read and listen to – take control of what children learn in school.

This is being done right under every parent’s nose with the “common core” standards curriculum.

7.) Religion – Remove belief in God from the Government and schools

Our nation is at this very moment going through this process and this idea is being pushed forward by those who seem to be part of the movement to destroy the United States by forcing others not to acknowledge God in public.

This final rule has been brought up just recently by Barack Obama. We are willing to bet that some of those reading this know what we are talking about because these are simple ideas laid out in a more expansive writing that has 12 steps very close to what we have shown here. Take a look at the last rule here and this is the one that will make many wonder why Congress has done almost nothing to stop any of this from happening!

8.) Class Warfare – Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to take (Tax) the wealthy with the support of the poor.

Now is this not amazing, especially in light of the rhetoric from Barack Obama and the Democrats? Obama just came out with his first speech of the year making nearly the exact same statement about the rich needing to “contribute” more to the poor. President Obama has stated many times that those with the most should pay more to help the poor. This now seems to be what he intends to do during the next year and it falls directly back to what this rule points out! Obama has communicated what is clearly nothing less than class warfare, based upon the splitting of the people, making them think that the government is helping them when it is actually working to destroy them.

These 8 rules do not come from Obama, nor do they come from any of those within his administration. However, they all believe in these rules since they all are part of the same base that these rules were designed for: Socialists.

These 8 rules are defined as they were shown in simple form from the book “Rules For Radicals” by Saul Alinsky, a man set upon the takeover of the United States by Socialists.

Obama: The Disciple of Saul Alinsky

http://tomohalloran.com/2014/01/31/obama-disciple-saul-alinsky/

January 31, 2014

saul-alinsky-obama-lucifer

In the previous article, we looked at 8 rules that Saul Alinsky laid out in his book Rules for Radicals. Barack Obama has been following those rules one by one. However, there are other rules that follow in the book. One rule, mentioned by Glenn Beck, was rule 12 and that one rule seems to be one of the most workable rules that President Obama has used to the max! That rule is as follows:

Rule 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)

Now understanding rule 12, one can see that Obama has used this rule in ways that no other sitting President ever used against the people of the United States! How many times has Obama come out and picked a target, focused on that target and took action on that target? Surely we all have seen the ways that Obama had links back to the White House with the IRS action against the Tea Party and other conservative groups. Now Obama has set his sights on anyone that questions him. Now many would like to know just who is Saul Alinsky? That is a great question and the answer will be surprising to some who do not understand what is going on.

Saul Alinsky:

  • Identified a set of very specific rules that ordinary citizens could follow, and tactics that ordinary citizens could employ, as a means of gaining public power
  • Created a blueprint for revolution under the banner of “social change”
  • Two of his most notable modern-day disciples are Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

Born to Russian-Jewish parents in Chicago in 1909, Saul Alinsky was a Communist/Marxist fellow-traveler who helped establish the tactics of infiltration — coupled with a measure of confrontation — that have been central to revolutionary political movements in the United States in recent decades. He never joined the Communist Party but instead, as David Horowitz puts it, became an avatar of the post-modern left.

“Alinsky was … convinced that large-scale socialist transformation would require an alliance between the struggling middle class and the poor. The key to radical social change, Alinsky thought, was to turn the wrath of America’s middle class against large corporations.”

In the Alinsky model, “organizing” is a euphemism for “revolution” — a wholesale revolution whose ultimate objective is the systematic acquisition of power by a purportedly oppressed segment of the population, and the radical transformation of America’s social and economic structure. The goal is to foment enough public discontent, moral confusion, and outright chaos to spark the social upheaval that Marx, Engels, and Lenin predicted — a revolution whose foot soldiers view the status quo as fatally flawed and wholly unworthy of salvation. Thus, the theory goes, the people will settle for nothing less than that status quo’s complete collapse — to be followed by the erection of an entirely new system upon its ruins. Toward that end, they will be apt to follow the lead of charismatic radical organizers who project an aura of confidence and vision, and who profess to clearly understand what types of societal “changes” are needed.

As Alinsky put it: “A reformation means that the masses of our people have reached the point of disillusionment with past ways and values. They don’t know what will work but they do know that the prevailing system is self-defeating, frustrating, and hopeless. They won’t act for change but won’t strongly oppose those who do. The time is then ripe for revolution.”

“[W]e are concerned,” Alinsky elaborated, “with how to create mass organizations to seize power and give it to the people; to realize the democratic dream of equality, justice, peace, cooperation, equal and full opportunities for education, full and useful employment, health, and the creation of those circumstances in which men have the chance to live by the values that give meaning to life. We are talking about a mass power organization which will change the world … This means revolution.”

John Perazzo at Discover the Networks writes in his profile of Alinsky:

But Alinsky’s brand of revolution was not characterized by dramatic, sweeping, overnight transformations of social institutions. As Richard Poe puts it, “Alinsky viewed revolution as a slow, patient process. The trick was to penetrate existing institutions such as churches, unions and political parties.” He advised organizers and their disciples to quietly, subtly gain influence within the decision-making ranks of these institutions, and to introduce changes from that platform. This was precisely the tactic of “infiltration” advocated by Lenin and Stalin. As Communist International General Secretary Georgi Dimitroff told the Seventh World Congress of the Comintern in 1935:

“Comrades, you remember the ancient tale of the capture of Troy. Troy was inaccessible to the armies attacking her, thanks to her impregnable walls. And the attacking army, after suffering many sacrifices, was unable to achieve victory until, with the aid of the famous Trojan horse, it managed to penetrate to the very heart of the enemy’s camp.”

Clinton ObamaAlinsky died in 1972, but his legacy lives on as a staple of leftist method, a veritable blueprint for revolution (which he and his disciples euphemistically refer to as “change”). Two of his most notable modern-day disciples are Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

In 1969 Hillary Clinton wrote her 92-pagesenior thesison Alinsky’s theories. A great admirer of Alinsky’s blend of ruthless and stealth activist tactics, Hillary personally interviewed the famed author for her project. She concluded her thesis bystating:

“Alinsky is regarded by many as the proponent of a dangerous socio/political philosophy. As such, he has been feared — just as Eugene Debs [the five-time Socialist Party candidate for U.S. President] or Walt Whitman or Martin Luther King has been feared, because each embraced the most radical of political faiths — democracy.”

Now this shows what Saul Alinsky is about and just how he influenced two of the top people that have hidden facts on Benghazi! But this is but the tip of the proverbial Iceberg as far as how these two people, Hillary Clinton and Barrack Obama, consider what this Socialist/maybe Communist stated!

Anti Christ BARACK-OBAMAUnlike Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama never personally met Saul Alinsky. By the time Alinsky died in 1972, Obama was only 11 years old. But as a young man, he became a master practitioner of Alinsky’s methods. In 1985 a small group of 20-odd churches in Chicago offered Obama a job helping residents of poor, predominantly black, Far South Side neighborhoods. Accepting that opportunity, Obama became Director of the Developing Communities Project, where he worked for the next three years on initiatives that ranged from job training to school reform to hazardous

Hillary Clintonwaste cleanup. David Freddoso, author of the 2008 book The Case Against Barack Obama, summarizes Obama’s community-organizing efforts as follows:

“He pursued manifestly worthy goals; protecting people from asbestos in government housing projects is obviously a good thing and a responsibility of the government that built them. But [in every case except one] the proposed solution to every problem on the South Side was a distribution of government funds …”

Three of Obama’s mentors in Chicago were trained at the Alinsky-founded Industrial Areas Foundation. (The Developing Communities Project itself was an affiliate of the Gamaliel Foundation, whose modus operandi for the creation of “a more just and democratic society” is rooted firmly in the Alinsky method.)

One of Obama’s early mentors in the Alinsky method, Mike Kruglik, would later say the following about Obama:

“He was a natural, the undisputed master of agitation, who could engage a room full of recruiting targets in a rapid-fire Socratic dialogue, nudging them to admit that they were not living up to their own standards. As with the panhandler, he could be aggressive and confrontational. With probing, sometimes personal questions, he would pinpoint the source of pain in their lives, tearing down their egos just enough before dangling a carrot of hope that they could make things better.”

“Another word for that is “Manipulator”. Sound familiar?” JB

Here we see just how Obama got his ideas and they just do not work with a nation under a “free enterprise” traditions!

For several years, Obama himself taught workshops on the Alinsky method. Also, beginning in the mid-1980s, Obama worked with ACORN, the Alinskyite grassroots political organization that grew out of George Wiley‘s National Welfare Rights Organization(NWRO).

We have shown just what plan Obama has been following for years, including some of his “mentors” of this Socialist ideology that he has put forth without fear because he views himself as King of the Former United States. If “WE THE PEOPLE” do not vote people into the Senate to change the balance this year, the United States will be no more, and time will only prove this to be true when they begin making more laws against the Constitution and dissolving our rights one at a time. We’ve laid out their plans; now it is up to us to ensure that freedom prevails and not a kingdom of Obama.

The race tide is turning.

Responding to attacks from his comments supporting Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, ESPN sports commentator Steven A. Smith gave a passionate critique of the black community and used his life story as an example of the American dream.

Smith was subjected to a significant amount of criticism from some blacks when he said he defended Cuban’s comments on prejudice.

In addition to not backing down to social pressure, Smith used the incident to criticize blacks that expect success without having basic education and communication skills.

“When I talk about not having a command of the English language, and still you want a job, and you want to have a career, but you don’t want to get your education, you don’t want to go out there and pound that pavement. Everything’s about the sprint, it’s not about the marathon, it’s not about you putting forth the necessary effort and due diligence over the long haul to get the thing you need. That’s a reality in our community.”

Then Smith added the hard work it took for him to achieve the American dream.

“Queens, New York City, left back in the fourth grade, grew up poor, the lever of education that I had was a public school system, I ultimately graduate from high school, I go to a historically black institution like Winston-Salem State University, I graduate with honors, there is no journalism program, I still graduate with honors, I still beat out thousands of people to get an internship… and I’m on national TV everyday.”

It’s fantastic that Smith turned a negative situation into a positive one by using his platform on ESPN to communicate how hard work and perseverance led to his success.

The race card is being overplayed and we need more black individuals like Smith to stand up as role models.

I have been seeing this video float around Facebook for the last few days. I haven’t thought much of it (“Oh, just another viral video…”) until one of my friends said, “No, you really need to watch this one, Liberty.”

So I did. And now I am telling you the same thing, “No, you really need to watch this one.”

Video after the jump…

 

water

watermosaicI had originally hoped the video was made with the intent to spread the pro-life message but it turns out it has a very different purpose: to spread awareness of the global clean water crisis (technically also a “pro-life” message).

From the video’s post on YouTube: “To raise awareness among the general public about the global clean water crisis, the artist Belo created an image composed of 66,000 cups of colored rainwater simulating levels of impurities found in water all over the planet. This major work of 3,600 square feet, representing a fetus in the maternal womb, emphasizes the necessity of water, even before birth, for each living person.”

How right Belo is: every living person has common needs, like water, even the living people in the womb. We also all have the common need to be alive.  Whether or not Belo intended it, this beautiful art is a powerful message of the humanity of the preborn and their striking similarity to us, both in needs and likeness and in just about every other way that really counts.

Where is Michelle Obama’s Hashtag for Meriam Ibrahim? She’s Pregnant and Sentenced to Die

http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/23/where-is-michelle-obamas-hashtag-for-meriam-ibrahim-shes-pregnant-and-sentenced-to-die/

Michelle Obama did a great job at raising awareness of the hundreds of girls kidnapped by terrorists in Africa. She lent credibility and awareness to #BringOutGirlsBack – the twitter hashtag devoted to making the world be informed about their terrible plight.

But where is Michelle Obama on another human rights victim — someone of interest to pro-life advocates and Christians around the world?

meriamThe First Lady has been silent on the plight of Meriam Ibrahim, the Christian woman sentenced to death in Sudan for rejecting Islam who is being shackled by Sudanese officials despite the fact she is eight-months pregnant. The Islamic court is waiting until Meriam Ibrahim, 26, gives birth before carrying out the sentence but she is reportedly held in chains until then.

SIGN THE PETITION! Save Meriam Ibrahim, Don’t Hang her to Death for Her Faith

Writing at The Federalist, Leslie Loftis takes Obama to task for her silence when it comes to Meriam.

It is easy to ignore the religious motivation for the girls’ kidnapping under the horrible drama of the actual event. But Meriam is in shackles in Sudan because she is a Christian. A Sudanese court has found her guilty of 1) adultery, for having sex with her husband—she is married to a Christian but since her absent father was Muslim, the court considers her a Muslim and therefore does not recognize the union, and 2) apostasy, refusal to renounce her Christian faith. For the adultery, she received a sentence of 100 lashes, stayed until she gives birth sometime in early June.

For the apostasy, she was sentenced to death, stayed until her baby turns two. (That turns the breast-is-best wars on it’s head. Breastfeeding is important enough to stay the execution, but the mother/child relationship is not enough for mercy? Ponder the attitudes toward women packed in that delay; they are plenty, but still not enough to overshadow the religious nature of this injustice.) And the reason her toddler is in the cell with her, the court also considers him Muslim based upon his maternal grandfather, therefore his Christian father is an unacceptable caregiver.

For Christian persecution, the US State Department, even at the behest of New Hampshire’s Senators, can hardly even muster a delayed and infamous-as-it-is-ineffective “sternly worded letter.” There is comparatively little press coverage. Not even a hashtag campaign.

Feds Force Oklahoma to Overturn Anti-Sharia Law & Pay Islamists $303,333


http://freedomoutpost.com/2014/05/feds-force-oklahoma-overturn-anti-sharia-law-pay-islamists-303333/#Ufsz22pEiGM4YFWe.99

Reported by

The US government has forced the state of Oklahoma to overturn its anti-Sharia bill, after a Muslim man named Muneer Awad sued the state for supposed violations against “freedom of religion.”

CAIR also played a role in subverting the bill. Adam Soltani of CAIR said:

Sharia is the moral code of conduct for Muslims, and that includes certain aspects of laws, like marital laws, divorce, inheritance, wills…it encompasses part of that, but it’s also the moral code of conduct

The state of Oklahoma must now pay $303,333 to Awad for legal fees, costs and nontaxable expenses. The money is going into the hands of Muslims because the lawsuit was done by CAIR, a Muslim jihadist organization of Islamic lawyers. Awad himself is a lawyer and the executive director for CAIR. The state of Oklahoma is paying money right into the pockets of Muslims. The Muslim heretic Awad boasted the victory:

This was just politicians optimistically looking for an issue… Look what happened. Not only did the state question get struck down, but they’ll have to pay attorney fees and interest over three years.

Rep. Clark Jolley, R-Edmond, said that paying the fine “is an obligation of the state…I think that’s a disagreement with us and the courts… We passed that as a Legislature. We lost the lawsuit.

According to Jordan Sekulow, the bill never infringed on the Islamic religion, but was placed to prevent international codes of law from entering the government:

At its core, the amendment has nothing to do with infringing on a Muslim’s right to practice Islam or religious freedom generally. This amendment is about “judicial authority,” and is not a “demonization” of Islam.

70% of Oklahomans wanted the anti-Sharia bill, and trusted that the state would maintain it, but this decision shows that the government cannot be trusted, and that only a revolutionary measure though the populace, and not the total reliance on the state, will actually end the Muslim takeover the country.

This Islamic victory only shows one thing: American society is enabling the Muslims to advance their agenda. Unlimited freedom of religion will only lead to limits on Christianity. As I have written in my article, Religious Liberty Leads To Tyranny:

All of civilization, came as a result of religious intolerance

Editor’s Note: Frankly, it’s about high time that a governor with some guts stands up and says that they aren’t going to obey the feds in matters like this. The states retained this power. They didn’t give it to the federal government and Governor Mary Fallin should be ignoring the ruling and implementing the law. However, sadly she has demonstrated a reluctance to do so.

“This is beyond outrageous. These damn Leftist/Marxist/Socialist/Communist are systematically destroying our freedoms and handing us over to murdering demons like Islamist who are determined to convert our Country into a Sharia Law stronghold. Not as long as there is breath in my body.” JB

Exclusive: Confidential source reveals to me what really happened in Benghazi

Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods

Today as I returned from Detroit, I had a moment that I truly felt was God sent, as I don’t believe in coincidences. It happened on one of my flights, and it was two hours I will never forget.

I was seated beside someone who personally knew one of the men who was there on the roof in Benghazi. This person was excited to share with me the “ground truth” of what happened September 11, 2012.

My seat mate drew schematics to orient me to the “time and spacing” and the direction of the attack. I learned about the repeated orders to the men at the CIA annex to stand down and do nothing — thank God two of them, Glenn Doherty and Ty Woods, lived up to their code of honor and ran to the sound of the guns, resulting in their loss of life — but the preservation of life for others, their fellow Americans.

I learned about the proximity of the staging area of the attack to the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, and the attackers were indeed Ansar al-Sharia, a group affiliated with al-Qaida. I came to understand why Ambassador Chris Stevens was there in the first place and that he had in fact requested better security but was denied – the question is, by whom? And I learned that the Martyrs of 17 February Brigade were in charge of security and were the ones who opened the gates, then fled.

I learned there are those who are being threatened with their pensions being cut off if they come forth to speak.

And I learned, as I presumed, that there was a covert weapons scheme going on in Libya, Benghazi. We had been supplying radical Islamists with weapons against Libyan President Moammar Gadhafi, effectively supplying the enemy and destabilizing that country. And it seems that there was a CIA weapons buy-back program, the aim of which was to ship the retrieved weapons out of Libya through Turkey, and to the Islamist forces in Syria.

Is Hillary to blameBenghazi and the operations in Libya are shrouded in a fog of lies, deceit, manipulation, threats, intimidation, coercion, abandonment, and worst of all, potentially treason.

No, it was not about a kidnapping scheme, it was about something, as I’ve stated, that will make Iran-Contra look like Romper Room. The web of lies spun is coming apart, and all other committee hearings on this matter should be shut down.

The House has established a Select Committee — quite telling that the same has not been done in the Senate — and those involved, to include the President, MUST appear before Rep. Trey Gowdy.

And to those Democrats appointed to the committee: if you seek to obstruct the revelation of the truth, you are complicit and guilty as well.

Am I afraid because of what I now know? Heck no. I’m honored to have been entrusted, so I for one can be on the right side of history.

Is there a Plan to use Land out West to Pay our Debt to China?


http://freedomoutpost.com/2014/05/plan-use-land-west-pay-debt-china/#CM72rXTAWpKBuDDj.99

Reported By May 22, 2014

Regardless of which side of the political aisle that you choose to sit on, there are many things that cross-over political lines and live in the realm of truth.  Sure there is some truth in politics, but that’s not my point.  Much of what I am going to be illustrating is known, and even reported, by the mainstream media.  However, too many people are asleep at the wheel; and, Government has done a good job of convincing the masses that we need them to manage our life for any real resistance to coagulate; for now anyway.  However, if one takes the time to stop reading headlines and examine the “bigger picture,” a case could be made that our Government plans to use our western land as collateral for the enormous debt that we continue to accumulate on a second-by-second basis.

 debt to china Now this is going to confuse some of you, but when I say “our Government” I mean the crowd in Washington DC who have been bribed, coerced, or otherwise compromised, by the foreign banks and corporations who really run things in the United States.  And, if you think Obama is the “most powerful man in the free world,” you need to hit the books a bit more.  But, I digress.

On the topic of the truths that I spoke of earlier, there are a few which are undeniable.  First, and foremost, is the fact that very little of what the government manages is done so in a judicious or fiscally responsible manner.  Take a look at the chart below.

 debt to china
A second undeniable truth is that we are deeply steeped in un-manageable, and un-payable debt.  As indicated by the link to the Debt Clock above, the United States has over 17 trillion in debt and over 120 trillion in unfunded liabilities.  I doesn’t take someone with a math degree to figure out that it is impossible to repay all of this debt, or fund the liabilities that have been promised to many.  However, the criminals just keep printing; all the while driving us deeper and deeper into servitude.  Are they seemingly unaffected by this because they have a plan to wrap all of this debt up in a land deal with our debtors? I say that there is a good possibility of this happening, and one can even see the “writing on the wall” if the evidence is examined critically.

As the debt piles up, government continues to grow and spend at a furious pace.  One wonders how those making decisions cannot see that 120 trillion in unfunded liabilities is cause to put the brakes on spending.  But I didn’t go to Columbia, so perhaps I am not qualified to make that call.  Nonetheless, our posterity is destined to become familiar with one term, perhaps intimately, and that’s DEBT.  But, do those in power have a bigger plan to use western lands as a way to satisfy our debt obligation?  Please indulge me while I explore that avenue.

 debt to china
In the chart above, you get an idea of the enormous amount of resources that are contained within the boundaries of the western states.  Unfortunately, much of the land, and subsequently the resources, are currently under Federal Control.  And, because of that, states, and its citizens, do not have access to said resources.  Minus the United States population, what you have in the chart above constitutes the real wealth of this nation; and why the Federal Government clings so tightly to its control.

Enter China

One of the biggest creditors to the United States debt is China, which is no secret.  However, a fact that may be less know is how much land China is buying in the United States.  Here is an excerpt from a story published by Michael Snyder, of The End of the American Dream blog.

Has the United States ever experienced a time when a foreign nation has attempted to buy up so much of our land all at once?  As you will read about in this article, the Chinese are on a real estate buying spree all over America.  In fact, in some cases large chunks of land are actually being given to them.  Yes, you read that correctly.  China is on the way to becoming the dominant land owner in the entire country, and that is starting to alarm a lot of people.  Do we really want a foreign superpower to physically own so much of our territory?

The implications of the above article are chilling.  How much more effectively can an enemy operate once they are inside the opposing camp?  Look how well it has worked for those who have hijacked the US Government.  They pretty much run things from the inside, and do so with impunity.  But, recently, a peek into the overall plan may have been revealed.  Again, Michael Snyder provides an insight into the overall plan in the following article.  Is a giant Chinese land-grab underway?  It sure seems that way.  Why else would our government rack up piles and piles of debt, with seemingly no restraint?  That is a good question, and one that leaves me with only one conclusion.  These guys are going to take the cash up front, and leave all of us holding the debt load with our land as collateral.  The solution is getting the land back from the Feds, and back in control of the states.  Ken Ivory and Jennifer Fielder are doing the heavy lifting in this regard, and they need your support.  Please visit the American Lands Council for ways that you can do your part.  Meanwhile, please visit the following link and vote.   I would be interested to hear your opinion on the subject.

A Chinese Group Plans To Construct A 200 Acre “China City” In Michigan

 

A Chinese group known as “Sino-Michigan Properties LLC” has bought up 200 acres of land near the town of Milan, Michigan.  Their plan is to construct a “China City” with artificial lakes, a Chinese cultural center and hundreds of housing units for Chinese citizens.  Essentially, it would be a little slice of communist China dropped right into the heartland of America.  This “China City” would be located about 40 minutes from both Detroit and Toledo, and it would be marketed to Chinese business people that want to start businesses in the United States.  Unfortunately, this is not just an isolated incident.  In fact, Chinese companies have been buying up land and businesses all over the country in recent years.  There has even been talk of establishing “special economic zones” inside the United States modeled after the Chinese city of Shenzhen.  It was inevitable that the Chinese were going to do something with the trillions of dollars that they have made flooding our shores with cheap products.  Now they are rapidly buying up pieces of America, and many of our politicians are welcoming them with open arms.

The town of Milan, Michigan is a small farming community of only about 6,000 people, but big changes are coming their way.  The following is from a recent Dayton Daily News article about this new project….

A group of mainland Chinese known as Sino-Michigan Properties LLC paid $1.9 million for 200 acres of farmland on Milan city limits in purchases this year and in 2011, according to local officials and property records.

Unfortunately, the goal does not appear to be to integrate this new “city” into the existing community in and around Milan.

Rather, it appears that all of the new housing will be sold to people coming over from China.  According to the Milan News Leader newspaper, the new housing units “would be marketed to Chinese business people who want to start companies in the United States”.

In essence, we would be looking at a new Chinese city right in the middle of Michigan.

Doug Smith, senior vice president for business and community development for the Michigan Economic Development Corp., recently said the following about what the Chinese group plans to do….

“It’s a group that wants to build a China city, starting with housing over there in Milan”

Milan is not far from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, which is a very popular destination for Chinese students.  Apparently that is one reason why Milan was chosen.

This new project would be a Chinese community built by Chinese and specifically designed for Chinese.

But isn’t this supposed to be America?

Fortunately, the project does not have final approval yet.  It still must be approved by the two townships outside of Milan where the land is located.

For some reason, the Chinese seem to be particularly interested in this area of the country.

For example, a different Chinese investment group has been busy buying up chunks of real estate over in nearby Toledo, Ohio.  The following is from an article in the Toledo Blade on May 26th, 2011….

Dashing Pacific Group Ltd., which has already purchased the nearby Docks restaurant complex for $2.15 million, put its $3.8 million offer to buy the southern 69 acres at the Marina District in East Toledo back on the table for approval by Toledo City Council. Additionally, Dashing Pacific Chairman Yuan Xiaohong, in a letter signed in Hangzhou, said the firm wants a two-year option to buy the decommissioned Toledo Edison power plant property on the site.

So should we be alarmed that the Chinese are buying up pieces of America?

Well, if they simply wanted to enjoy living in America and wanted to integrate into the wider community that would be one thing.

But it is another thing altogether to start dropping slices of communist China inside of U.S. territory.

In a previous article entitled “China Wants To Construct A 50 Square Mile Self-Sustaining City South Of Boise, Idaho“, I discussed a potential deal that Sinomach (a company controlled by the Chinese government) was exploring with the government of Idaho.  The following is a description of that potential project from an article in the Idaho Statesman….

A Chinese national company is interested in developing a 10,000- to 30,000-acre technology zone for industry, retail centers and homes south of the Boise Airport.

There was talk that this “technology zone” would be modeled after the “special economic zones” that have been developed in China.  The city of Shenzhen is perhaps the most famous example of this.

Fortunately that deal appears to have stalled, but other mammoth deals have been moving forward in other parts of the country.

For example, the Chinese have been very busy gobbling up oil and gas fields.  The following is a quote from a local Texas news source about a deal that a company owned by the Chinese government did with Chesapeake Energy down in Texas….

State-owned Chinese energy giant CNOOC is buying a multibillion-dollar stake in 600,000 acres of South Texas oil and gas fields, potentially testing the political waters for further expansion into U.S. energy reserves.

With the announcement Monday that it would pay up to $2.2 billion for a one-third stake in Chesapeake Energy assets, CNOOC lays claim to a share of properties that eventually could produce up to half a million barrels a day of oil equivalent.

You can read more about that particular deal right here.

So is it really a good idea to be allowing the Chinese to buy up our precious energy resources?

The answer to that question is obvious.

Sadly, the examples noted above are not isolated incidents.  The truth is that the Chinese have been snapping up real estate and business assets all over America as a recent Forbes article explained….

According to a recent report in the New York Times, investors from China are “snapping up luxury apartments” and are planning to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on commercial and residential projects like Atlantic Yards in Brooklyn. Chinese companies also have signed major leases at the Empire State Building and at 1 World Trade Center, the report said.

So get ready – the Chinese are buying up U.S. land and they are moving in whether you like it or not.

So what will the long-term consequences be of allowing a communist superpower to buy up large sections of America?

That is a very good question.

Obama Admin’s Declaration that Al Qaeda is no Longer a Threat to the US Causes US Intelligence Officials to Revolt


http://freedomoutpost.com/2014/05/obama-admins-declaration-al-qaeda-longer-threat-us-causes-us-intelligence-officials-revolt/#p6mHYvhIW77HMiiX.99

Reported by May 22, 2014

This should come as no surprise from an administration that sets up Muslim Brotherhood members in top positions in the federal government, aids the avowed enemies of the US, and has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. Members of the Obama administration, including National Security Adviser Susan Rice and White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough apparently met with senators from both sides of the aisle late Tuesday. According to several of those senators, the meeting was focused on foreign policy and was supposed to be secret, but Yahoo News received comment from some of those senators.

Sen. Bob Corker, the top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, alluded to the meeting on Wednesday, as the panel held a hearing on whether and how to overhaul the signature law of the global war on terrorism.

“I know several of us were involved in a very bizarre discussion last night. This continues a very bizarre discussion,” Corker said at another point.

The Tennessee Republican did not say where or with whom the meeting took place (or why it was bizarre).

The White House later confirmed the meeting. National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said McDonough hosted “an informal discussion on national security issues,” and that Rice and Deputy National Security Adviser Tony Blinken attended.

Is Hillary to blameNow, consider that this is the administration really has no desire to hurt their fellow Muslim jihadists in the least. In fact, McDonough was intimately involved in the Benghazi coverup.

However, in one of the most curious places for the truth to come out, The Daily Beast reported:

…the White House has softened its earlier position, concluding that al Qaeda and its affiliates still represented a serious threat. But the tension between the White House and many top military and intelligence officials fighting the long war remain.

In interviews with many of them, a common theme is sounded: The threat from al Qaeda is rising, but the White House is looking to ratchet down the war against these Islamic extremists. As a result, intelligence gathered on these threats remain shrouded from the public and, in many cases, from senior government officials. And now Congress and the White House are beginning to consider modifying—and possibly revoking—the very authority to find, fix and finish those terrorists who pose the threat today.

Now, clearly we are not talking “Islamic extremists,” but rather we are speaking of devout Muslims who are simply following the Qur’an, just as the founder of Islam did when he formed the political ideology. Also, keep in mind that it was the Obama administration that was claiming that al-Qaeda was on the run and that Osama bin Laden was dead.

Again, it should come as no surprise seeing we have an administration involved in open treason, in which an impotent Congress will not impeach him.

One senior U.S. intelligence official told The Daily Beast the frustration was that there is pressure from the White House to downplay the threat from some al Qaeda affiliates. “It comes from the top, it’s the message that al Qaeda is all these small franchise groups and they are not coordinated and threatening,” this official said. “It’s the whole idea of getting us out to place resources against something that they don’t think is a problem. It’s not their war, it’s not our conflict.”

This week, this internal struggle over the response to al Qaeda is reaching a crucial moment. The Senate Foreign Relations Obama defending muslimsCommittee on Wednesday will hold a nearly unprecedented hearing on the 2001 law that authorizes a long, global war against al Qaeda and its allies.

At the same time, U.S. intelligence officers say, there is deep division within their ranks–and with the White House—about the strength of al Qaeda in the place where that war began: Afghanistan. The current estimate of the terror group’s presence there says that al Qaeda has a little more than 100 fighters in the country’s province of Kunar. That, these intelligence officers contend, is wildly out of date. “Al Qaeda has a presence all over Afghanistan today,” a senior U.S. intelligence official told The Daily Beast. “This is the conversation that no one wants to have. What are they going to do after 2014 when most of our troops will be gone?”

“It comes from the top, it’s the message that al Qaeda is all these small franchise groups and they are not coordinated and threatening. It’s not their war, it’s not our conflict.”

“I find it hard to believe that President Obama is naïve. I also do not believe that he is stupid. I do believe that he is delusional, and is working hard to protect Islamist Extremist. I believe that he wants America to believe something that is not true in order to do something; What that Something is, requires more speculation than I am comfortable with. All I know is that President Obama cares more about protecting his Muslim buddies than Americans.” JB

Hillary ClintonTake a moment and consider that this administration’s former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, failed to designate Boko Haram as a terrorist group. They have also failed to call the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist group, even when Egypt did so. They have claimed Al-Qaeda is on the run, yet covered up the fact that jihadists tied to Al-Qaeda were the very ones who attacked Americans in Benghazi. Why did they cover it up? I believe part of the reason was that Obama and Joe Biden were proudly declaring Al-Qaeda was on the run.

However, as one senior U.S. intelligence official said, “Take this ‘al Qaeda is on the run’ message, it’s something you’ve seen in the last couple of years. If they are on the run, they are on the run to the United States.”

Pamela Geller summed up exactly what is taking place concerning the Obama administration’s willful ignorance of what Islam and jihadists are engaging in and who will feel the brunt of what they are doing. She wrote, “As the global jihad rages across Africa, the Middle East, Europe and Asia, Obama continues to indulge his ROP fantasies to our great peril.”

At least there are still some who recognize the threat and are willing to stand up and be counted.

Al Qaeda terrorists at Guantanamo treated better than our vets


http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2014/05/22/al-qaeda-terrorists-at-guantanamo-treated-better-than-our-vets/

Published May 23, 2014

FoxNews.com

President Obama finally addressed the nation Wednesday about the growing scandal at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. After meeting with VA Secretary Eric Shinseki he pledged to hold folks accountable.

By now most American have heard about the VA’s infamous patient “secret wait lists” which reportedly contributed to the deaths of up to 40 veterans in the Phoenix area alone. Those patriots were American heroes who served our country proudly. Yet they were left to die waiting to see a doctor.

“While the Gitmo ratio is 1.5 to 1, for America’s 9 million veterans receiving VA health care and 267,930 VA employees, the ratio is 35 to 1.”

Here’s another secret the White House doesn’t want you to know about the VA. Al Qaeda detainees get better medical treatment than our veterans.

Say what?

Yes, it’s true. I know because I served as a Pentagon spokesman from 2005-2009 and visited Guantanamo Bay Naval Base over 30 times during those years.

Despite the fact that Al Qaeda terrorists carried out the Sept. 11 terror attacks, killing 3,000 people in America, the admitted co-conspirators and their roughly 150 fellow jihadists at Gitmo have approximately 100 doctors, nurses and health care personnel assigned to them.

Doctors and medical personnel are at their beck and call.  Got a cold, a fever, a toothache, a tumor, chest or back pain, mental health issues, PTSD?  No problem, come right on in. Military doctors are waiting to see you.

The VA and Gitmo eligible patient-to-health care provider ratios speak volumes.

While the Gitmo ratio is 1.5 to 1, for America’s 9 million veterans receiving VA health care and 267,930 VA employees, the ratio is 35 to 1.

But beyond the Gitmo numbers, the situation at the VA is also a bright, shining example of misguided priorities and terrible mismanagement.

In late 2008, when Obama was  president-elect, he and his staff were warned not to trust the wait times reported by VA health care facilities. But instead of fixing the problem, their focus was closing Guantanamo and improving the comfort of detainees. Even though they already lived under some of the best prison conditions ever seen.

While some who see “2008” may reflexively say, “blame Bush, not Obama” the fact is that the VA’s health system has been fatally flawed for years, regardless of who has been the president.

The VA is a classic example of big government gone wild. It is America’s second largest cabinet agency after the Defense Department. Since civil service promotions are traditionally based more on seniority than performance, and it’s near impossible to fire anyone, there’s a punch-the-clock mentality that’s pervasive. Not surprisingly, there’s little to no sense of urgency. So to instill incentives, the VA shells out high salaries and bonuses, deserved or not.

According to a Fox News report, Phoenix VA hospital paid staff up to $357,000 for doctor executives and $147,000 for nursing staff.  On average, doctors and nurses in Phoenix make just over half those figures.

Meanwhile, the gardening budget at Phoenix VA hospital was over $180,000 in 2013. The facility also spent $211,000 on interior design over the past three years.

If any government entity ever needed a complete overhaul, it’s the VA.  If it were in the private sector, it would have been shuttered long ago.

Today’s VA has near zero accountability, while labor unions fight to protect employees who aren’t doing their jobs. Shinseki and his senior staff should be the first to go.

President Obama needs to refocus his priorities. There must be less time, effort and energy caring for Al Qaeda and Taliban detainees at Gitmo and much more attention put on caring for America’s veterans.

Our veterans have served the nation proudly. In many cases they were gravely wounded during their service and now will require a lifetime of medical support. Every one of them deserves better.

New Emails Reveal Obama White House Worked on Concocting Benghazi Lie DURING the Attacks


http://www.tpnn.com/2014/05/23/new-emails-reveal-obama-white-house-worked-on-concocting-benghazi-lie-during-the-attacks/

Obama Hillary 
House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa said on Thursday that the Obama White House was contacting YouTube owner Google during the Benghazi terrorist attacks, working on the false narrative even before Americans were out of harm’s way and before the intelligence community examined available evidence. 

The still classified Obama State Department email, according to Issa, shows that the Obama White House rushed to settle on the false narrative of the anti-Islamic YouTube video instigating the attacks, which was completely at odds with the conclusions reached by reports from the ground. 

Propaganda Alert
Is Hillary to blameThis new evidence destroys the Obama White House claims, communicated by Obama spokesman Jay Carney, that the White House obtained the false narrative from CIA talking points, since, according to Congressman Issa, the communication with YouTube was conducted by the Obama White House before  any CIA talking points were concocted. 

The subject line of the email, ironically sent at 9:11 p.m. (the attacks took place on 9/11/12) on the night of the attack, was “Update on Response to actions – Libya,” hours before  the attack had ended. 


“The e-mail shows the White House had hurried to settle on a false narrative — one at odds with the conclusions reached by those on the ground — before Americans were even out of harm’s way or the intelligence community had made an impartial examination of available evidence,” Issa said.

Issa has called for the Obama White House to declassify the email. 

According to Issa, one of the items noted in the email stated, “White House is reaching out to U-Tube [sic] to advise ramifications of the posting of the Pastor Jon video.” 

Issa scolded current Secretary of State, Democrat John Kerry, for just now turning over a classified version of the email, some 20 months after the attack, while calling on the regime to release a unclassified copy.

“Unfortunately, Secretary Kerry and the State Department continue to try to keep this Hillary Clintoninformation from the public, only turning this document over to Congress last month. While the information I have cited from this email is clearly unclassified, the State Department has attempted to obstruct its disclosure by not providing Congress with an unclassified copy of this document that redacted only classified portions outlining what the Department of Defense and the Secretary of State were doing in response to the attack in Benghazi that night.”

“This tactic prevents the release of the email itself,” said Issa.

Nancy Pelosi blames George W. Bush for Veterans Affairs scandal


http://washingtonexaminer.com/nancy-pelosi-blames-george-w.-bush-for-veterans-affairs-scandal/article/2548784

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., repeatedly put the blame for the Veterans Affairs scandal on former President George W. Bush, while arguing that her party has worked hard for veterans in recent years.

BS WARNING BS ALERT

Pelosi took a shot at Bush while saying that the scandal is a high priority for Obama. “He sees the ramifications of some seeds that were sown a long time ago, when you have two wars over a long period of time and many, many more, millions more veterans,” she told reporters during her Thursday press briefing. “And so, I know that he is upset about it.”

The Democratic leader never mentioned Bush by name, but she alluded to him early and often in the press briefing.

“Maybe when we go into war, we should be thinking about its consequences and its ramifications,” Pelosi said while discussing the scandal. “You would think that would be a given, but maybe it wasn’t. And so, we go in a war in Afghanistan, leave Afghanistan for Iraq with unfinished business in Afghanistan. Ten years later, we have all of these additional veterans. In the past five years, two million more veterans needing benefits from the VA. That’s a huge, huge increase.”

“Maybe Nancy should resign and go back to her fans in San Francisco and leave the rest of America alone.” JB

She suggested that Obamacare might hold the key to solving the problem. “We have the Affordable Care Act that is out there that is providing resources for more federally-qualified health clinics around the country,” Pelosi said. “Maybe we should take a look at how we deal with our veterans’ needs in a way that says let’s help them closer to home, whether that’s a federally qualified health clinic or in some other institution that provides health care closer to home. [It’s] especially important for our veterans who live in rural areas.”

Sarah Palin: VA Scandal Future of Obamacare If Democrats Not Voted Out


http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2014/05/21/Sarah-Palin-VA-Scandal-Future-of-Obamacare-if-Democrats-Not-Voted-Out?utm_source=e_breitbart_com&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Breitbart+News+Roundup%2C+May+22%2C+2014&utm_campaign=20140522_m120570677_Breitbart+News+Roundup%2C+May+22%2C+2014&utm_term=More

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said President Barack Obama’s Veterans Administration scandal involving 40 veterans who reportedly died after they were put on secret waiting lists represents Obamacare’s future if Democrats are not voted out of office.

“Friends, that’s rationed care. That’s the VA today. That’s what’s got to change,” she wrote Wednesday on Facebook. “That’s why Congress has got to change because until we elect leaders who’ll buck the march to socialized medicine known as Obamacare, America’s health care system will go the way of the VA.”

Palin had previously warned about the perils of socialized medicine and Obamacare before the law was enacted.

“Government health care will not reduce the cost; it will simply refuse to pay the cost,” Palin wrote in 2009 while predicting “death panels.” “And who will suffer the most when they ration care? The sick, the elderly, and the disabled, of course.”

Politifact deemed Palin’s remarks to be its “Lie of the year,” and Palin was mocked years before liberals like Howard Dean, Paul Krugman, and some of President Barack Obama’s former advisers – like Steven Rattner – finally conceded she was right

Palin said Wednesday that “Obama’s Democrat party must be defeated in the ballot box in November” so that America remains the strongest nation on earth. She posted a picture of Abraham Lincoln and referenced Lincoln’s words about Americans having to guard their freedoms: “America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.”

Last week, Palin sounded the alarm about the willingness of Democrats to use Obamacare’s failures to push the country toward a single-payer healthcare system.

“What happens next is the Left will subtly suggest moving America toward a single-payer system, which was their intention all along. Watch for this gradual, but driving, descent into statism,” Palin warned. “So, are you still relying on Obamacare to help and not hurt you? On the Democrats’ watch, health care in the hands of unaccountable bureaucrats proves Reagan’s adage that government is not the solution; government is the problem.”

Obama Ready to Openly Work with Hamas Terror Group


http://freedomoutpost.com/2014/05/obama-openly-ready-work-hamas-terror-group/#g2VrWasjZ0hHSub1.99

May 21, 2014

Nail meet coffin.

Where to begin? More like a helluva place to end. Because this is an ending — an ending of the United States as a force for good. An ending of the United States as a moral government. It’s the end of the United States as we have known it.

Hamas is a genocidal terror group whose charter calls for the annihilation of Israel in the first paragraph. The reason for their existence is annihilation. 

The Times of Israel can write about this in even and nonchalant tones, but this is seismic.

Let us hope that the Congress steps up and stops the jihad in the White House.

White House said ready to work with PA unity government

Official quoted ahead of expected formation next week of Fatah- and Hamas-backed cabinet of Palestinian technocrats

TEL AVIV — A senior official in the White House reportedly said the US would cooperate with a soon-to-be-formed Palestinian unity government, despite Israeli opposition.

A unity government is set to be established within a week by Fatah, which controls the West Bank’s Palestinian areas, and Hamas, the terrorist group that governs Gaza. United States policy is not to work with Hamas unless it recognizes Israel, commits to nonviolence and abides by previous Israeli-Palestinian agreements.

Although it will have Hamas’s support, the new government will be made up of technocrats, rather than representatives of Hamas or Fatah. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has said that the new government will abide by the conditions mandated by the US.

An anonymous senior White House official told the Haaretz newspaper on Tuesday that the US would work with the new government as long as it abides by the conditions, even if it has Hamas’s support. A meeting of 28 European Union foreign ministers last week took a similar position.

“We want a Palestinian government that upholds those principles,” the White House official told Haaretz. “In terms of how they build this government, we are not able to orchestrate that for the Palestinians. We are not going to be able to engineer every member of this government.”

When the Palestinian factions announced the unity agreement in April, the Israeli government announced that it would not negotiate with any government backed by Hamas.

Israel and the US have been at odds over the collapse of the peace talks last month, with Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman saying over the weekend that the US was mistaken for blaming Israel’s continued settlement activity for the breakdown.

Addressing recent reports that US President Barack Obama, Secretary of State John Kerry and special envoy Martin Indyk have all primarily blamed the settlements for the failure, Liberman said Israel and the US are great friends and that “even good friends are [sometimes] mistaken.”

“The Americans are mistaken on the settlements. Just like they were mistaken when pushing for Palestinian elections [in 2006, which saw Hamas rise to power]. The settlements are not an obstacle to peace and never have been,” Liberman charged.

Commenting on a meeting Thursday between Israel’s chief negotiator and Justice Minister Tzipi Livni and Abbas in London, Liberman said Livni was “entitled to meet with whomever she wished,” and insisted that she was in London mainly on other business and not for continued efforts for peace. “There was a cabinet decision to halt talks, which Livni supported,” Liberman said.

In the wake of the Palestinian unity pact last month, Israel’s key security cabinet, of which Livni is a member, voted unanimously to suspend negotiations with the PA, saying Israel could not hold peace talks with a government supported by Hamas, an Islamic terrorist organization committed to Israel’s destruction.

On Saturday, the US State Department denied allegations that Kerry’s envoy Indyk “bashed” Israel during a private conversation at a hotel bar in Washington earlier this month, and blamed Israel solely for the failure in peace talks.

Indyk criticized both sides for the failed peace talks in a speech at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy earlier this month. Days earlier, a feature in the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper, reportedly based on a briefing by Indyk, quoted unnamed US officials offering a withering assessment of Netanyahu’s handling of the negotiations, indicated that Abbas has completely given up on the prospect of a negotiated solution, and warned Israel that the Palestinians will achieve statehood come what may — either via international organizations or through violence. The officials highlighted Netanyahu’s ongoing settlement construction as the issue “largely to blame” for the failure of Kerry’s July 2013-April 2014 effort to broker a permanent peace accord.

On Thursday, The New York Times published an article, quoting an unnamed US senior official, saying that Obama believes, more than any other factor, that Israeli announcements of construction in the West Bank and East Jerusalem throughout the nine months of talks led to the negotiations’ collapse.

In July 2013, Kerry coaxed the Israelis and the Palestinians back to the negotiating table after a three-year hiatus, and both sides agreed to keep talking for nine months. That period expired at the end of April, and the talks collapsed with each side blaming the other for major breaches of the negotiating agreements.

“Someone please tell me why it is acceptable for any nation, or group of nations, to tell any sovereign nation what they can do with their land? Israel is God’s inheritance to His children. It is no one else’s business what they do with their land, especially with a group of terrorist thugs who claim to be a people.’

“The Palestinians never have been, not ever will be an indigenous people. They are Arabs who were run out of Saudi Arabia for trying to kill the Royal Family. They are squatters. They squatted down in Israel, and typical of Islam traditions, they lied about why they were there. Unfortunately, because most of the world’s nations are anti-Semitic, they supported the lie.’

“As Christians we are commanded to pray for Israel and defend Israel. Are You?” JB

New Poll Spells Absolute Disaster for Democrats


http://www.tpnn.com/2014/05/21/new-poll-spells-absolute-disaster-for-democrats/

That’s like the White Star Line advertising the “success” of Titanic’s maiden voyage.
However, this continued insistence that Obamacare is an achievement on which Democrats should run for reelection is a blessing for Republicans. Despite the mainstream media hustling for the Democrats to try and spin our nation’s sojourn into socialized medicine as anything but a disaster, even they have not been able to conceal the disastrous consequences of Obamacare.
From the failed rollout to the soaring costs to the cancelled insurance policies, Obamacare has received a bad reputation- and rightfully so.
Democrats ought to be worried. A new poll revealed that 9 out of 10 voters intend to consider Obamacare when voting in the midterm elections.
Yes- 90% of those who will be voting will ponder the effects of Obamacare. With no real success stories of note and only failure after failure having piled up, when voters think Obamacare, they are bound to think of government-sponsored disaster.
Worse yet: this poll comes from Politico– a news source that largely caters to the left. If Politico readers have lost that loving feeling for Obamacare, what does that say about American opinions on the subject as a whole?
 
The doom and gloom for Democrats rolls on as the IJ Review reports:
Sixty percent of respondents said the debate on the Affordable Care Act is not over, contrary to the President’s claims. And half of those polled say they favor full repeal of the Obamacare law.
 
The issues currently being used by the Democratic Party to whip up votes – immigration reform and pay equity – don’t even come close as a hot-button issue this year. Only 28 and 16 percent, respectively, said those issues would determine their vote in the midterms.
 
Not only that, when asked which party they would prefer to vote for, voters say they are more likely to vote for a Republican over a Democrat by 7 points, 41 to 34 percent.
 
The poll notes that people are feeling a growing distrust of and hostility towards big government and insiders in Washington, DC.
 
And who can blame them? The Obama administration has “accomplished” nothing of significance except waste trillions of dollars and carry out a disastrous healthcare law that the majority of Americans don’t want. 
As we look on in horror at the VA scandal, one obvious observation goes unmentioned by the mainstream media: this is the face of government-run healthcare.

Obama Knew the VA Was ‘Cooking the Books’ and Did Nothing


http://www.tpnn.com/2014/05/21/obama-knew-the-va-was-cooking-the-books-and-did-nothing/

Obama
Barack Obama has demonstrated a horrible habit of lying. The level and depth of his deceit get worse and worse with every scandal that surrounds his administration. Earlier this week, Obama’s Press Secretary Jay Carney told the White House Press Corps that Obama first heard about the issues regarding the secret waiting lists at VA hospitals from a CNN report. We have learned since then that Carney’s claim is a flat out lie. (Watch Video Below)

The thought that the President of the United States is so detached from reality as well as unaware and uninformed with what is going on in his administration that he would find out major news from CNN is disturbing enough. The fact that Obama and his team lie to the American people so freely and frequently to cover-up their tracks is beyond belief. 

Tuesday night on FOX News’ The Kelly File, Megyn Kelly revealed breaking news that, contrary to his claims, there was new and clear evidence that Barack Obama and his administration were repeatedly and specifically warned that multiple VA medical facilities were ‘cooking their books’ in an effort to cover-up the delay in treatment for our veterans.

Back in 2008, Obama held up what he portrayed as a failure of the Bush administration in the treatment of veterans and their care. Referencing an 89-year old veteran in South Carolina who reportedly committed suicide after continuously being denied treatment, Obama, during a campaign speech in Charleston, West Virginia, said, “How can we let this happen? A Sacred Trust; Support our Veterans. How is this acceptable in the United States of America? The answer is, it’s not. It’s an outrage. And it’s a betrayal, a betrayal of the ideals that we ask our troops to risk their lives for. 

As new revelations are made, it is clear that those were once again ‘words, just words, just speeches’ from then candidate Barack Obama.

In 2008, as he made the transition to the Office of the Presidency, Obama was made aware of massive delays within the VA. He did nothing. Now, a new memo indicates that Obama and his team were informed again in 2010 of not only delays, but also the fact that numerous VA health clinics were cooking the books, lying about the care and treatment of our veterans. To make matters worse, these workers who falsified information in the cover-up in the denial of medical care for veterans were getting paid bonuses based upon their lies. 

As a result of these lies and this pervasive cover-up, veterans died.

Andy McCarthy, National Review contributing editor and a former federal prosecutor, joined Megyn to discuss the very real possibility of a case against the Obama administration in regards to the VA scandal and cover-up.

Megyn Kelly makes clear the warning that Obama and his team were given years ago about the VA.

“I just want to the viewers to know, it is not ‘Hey, wait times are bad,’ which we knew. ‘They’re bad, President Obama. As you take the reigns, be aware.’ It was specific about don’t trust the wait times at the medical facilities are reporting. This is what they were warned. That a VA Inspector General needs to be appointed and you need to test the accuracy of the reported waiting times. Now, here we are six years into the administration. Veterans have been dying, reportedly, because of these wait times. And now, because it’s finally coming to a head, and the President says, ‘I learned about it from press reports.’ Wait can be done? Who can be held accountable?” 

Andy McCarthy’s answer is straight and to the point. 

“In the first place, the political accountability is always more important when you’re dealing with the Executive Branch, than any criminal liability. And the person who’s accountable for the Executive Branch, this is shocking, I know because you never get that sense in the coverage, is the President.”

“This all hits home to me. I am a Viet Nam Vet. I was awarded the Purple Heart for an injury during combat. I have been getting 100% of my healthcare from the VA for several years. I have had great results, poor results and horrible situations. Yes, there is on ongoing wait for appointments. Yes, the VA has gotten worse over the years. Yes, many times I am made to feel like they really want me to die quickly so they won’t have to spend anymore money on me. Although my experience has been varied, I am not surprised by this story. I also am not surprised that the truth about the VA has been held in secret all these years.” JB

WATCH Andy McCarthy detail why, ultimately, Obama should be held accountable for the VA scandal and the deaths of our veterans under his watch.

Here’s more proof that If you quote Jesus or Paul nowadays you’ll be called a hater by the gaystapo.  For example, look at how the Daily Mail condemns Phil’s Easter sermon given last month …

A startling video has emerged showing Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson unleashing another homophobic rant – just months after the TV show’s network suspended him for a similar tirade.

Robertson was filmed giving an Easter Sunday sermon at Whites Ferry Road Church in his hometown of West Monroe, Louisiana on April 20, according to the video on YouTube.

In the footage, the 68-year-old expresses his anger at the outcry over his December interview in GQ magazine, in which he likened homosexuality to bestiality and branded gay people sinners.

‘They were mad at me,’ he tells the congregation in the video. ‘You say, “why’d they get mad at you?” Cuz instead of acknowledging their sin, like you had better do, they railed against me for giving them the truth about their sins. Don’t deceive yourselves.’

Obama: Republicans’ Only Goal Making People ‘Cynical,’ ‘Angry,’ ‘Suspicious’ to Win Elections


http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2014/05/20/Obama-Hints-That-Republicans-Aren-t-Patriotic

At a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee event in Maryland, President Obama accused Republicans of putting politics above the good of the nation and hinted that because of that they aren’t patriotic.

Obama attacked Republicans for pushing to investigate his failures in Benghazi, Libya, actions that resulted in the deaths of four Americans, including our U.S. ambassador.

The President told Party faithful that all of the criticism that Republicans have for his administration are “not serious,” especially their concerns over Obamacare and Benghazi.

“The debate we’re having right now is about, what, Benghazi? Obamacare? And it becomes this endless loop. It’s not serious. It’s not speaking to the real concerns that people have,” he said.

Yet it was his comments on what he feels the GOP is and what he wanted his opposition to become that were most pointed.

Community Organizer TwoObama said:

We’ve got one party in Congress right now that has been captured by ideologues whose core premise is “no” – who fundamentally believe that the problem is government; who don’t believe that we as a community, as a country have any serious role to play in giving people a hand up; whose budget reflects an interest in cutting back commitments to the most vulnerable and freeing the most powerful from any constraints; and whose principal focus at any given point in the day is trying to figure out how can they make people sufficiently cynical, sufficiently angry, sufficiently suspicious that they can win the next election.

I hate to be blunt about it, but that’s the play. And, by the way, when I say a party has been captured, it’s because I actually want an effective, serious, patriotic, capable, sober-minded Republican Party. And we’ve had that in the past.

Obama feels that because Republicans aren’t acting on a principled stance and because they don’t believe in his big-government, welfare-state policies, then they are neither “serious” nor “patriotic” Americans. Instead they are placing party politics above the good of the nation.

TSA to Purchase 24 Million Rounds of “Duty” Ammunition

Feds preparing to arm TSA workers?

TSA to Purchase 24 Million Rounds of "Duty" Ammunition

by Paul Joseph Watson | May 22, 2014

The TSA has issued a solicitation requesting 24 million rounds of .357 SIG “duty ammunition” over a five year period, prompting fresh questions as to whether the federal agency is planning to arm its workers.

“Estimated quantity is approximately 4,800,000 rounds of .357 Sig duty ammunition per year, totaling 24,000,000 over the life of the contract,” states the solicitation, posted on FedBizOpps, which adds that the ammo is for use at “DHS component locations nationwide.”

The ammo purchase is likely to spark new questions about whether the Department of Homeland Security is preparing to arm TSA agents, an idea that has been pushed by the TSA’s union, the American Federation of Government Employees, but has received scant support elsewhere.

Although Federal Air Marshals acting under the jurisdiction of the TSA are currently armed, other indications, such as the hiring of shooting ranges near airports, suggests the federal government could be preparing to arm some TSA workers. There are only 4,000 Federal Air Marshals currently operating in the United States, a figure that doesn’t appear to match with the 4.8 million rounds a year the TSA is set to purchase under this solicitation alone.

The solicitation is filed under the auspices of the TSA and not another DHS agency such as Customs and Border Patrol.

“Outside of certain governmental organizations like the Federal Air Marshals, and the Secret Service, .357 Sig ammo is not a vastly popular round. It is basically a .40 caliber case necked down to accept a 9mm bullet. Who knows what it means, other than that a relatively small number of federal agents are expecting to do a whole hell of a lot of shooting, or they are expecting the ammo market to dry up for an extend period time,” notes one blog.

police_stateAn even more disturbing scenario would see armed DHS agents patrolling the streets of major cities like Chicago, as Jesse Jackson called for last year.

Fears that large ammunition purchases by the Department of Homeland Security may be linked to preparations for domestic unrest have raged over the past two years, although a recent Government Accountability Office investigation downplayed the issue as nothing out of the ordinary.

Another noteworthy aspect to the story is that the Department of Homeland Security has stopped referring to such ammunition as “hollow point,” and is now referring to it as “duty” ammunition.

“Only one reason for “HOLLOW POINT” ammo; You want the target to go down immediately with the highest amount of internal damage. This round is NEVER used for target practice. Only use is for killing. Have you forgotten about Candidate Obama expressing his desire to raise a “Domestic” Army? There could be no other explanation.” JB

One of the DHS’ explanations as to why it has been making ammo purchases in bulk quantities is in order to save money. However, previous solicitations for training ammunition requested “hollow point” rounds, which are not suitable for training and are more expensive than full metal jacket rounds.

More recently the DHS issued a solicitation for over 141,00 rounds of sniper ammunition, bullets known commercially as “Zombie Max,” a reference to their high power.

“HMMMMM. Why would Homeland Security need this type of SNIPPER round? Socialism anyone?” JB

A Very Important Update from LIFENEWS


New York Abortion Bill Allows Shooting Babies Through the Heart With Poison to Kill Them

http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/20/new-york-abortion-bill-allows-shooting-babies-through-the-heart-with-poison-to-kill-them/

by Steven Ertelt | Albany, NY | LifeNews.com | 5/20/14 6:28 PM

It’s back! The so-called Women’s Equality Act, which allows late-term abortions in New York for virtually any reason, has returned.

A group of pro-abortion Democratic State Senators continued to push today for abortion-expansion, despite polls showing the overwhelming majority of New Yorkers oppose their dangerous agenda. And the bill has grisly consequences.

“How many times do New Yorkers have to reject this radical agenda that would legalize abortion for any reason through all nine months?” asked Lori Kehoe, New York State Right to Life executive director. “New York is already the abortion capital of the United States, with practically no oversight of the industry, but they would rather protect the abortion business than New York women. It’s wrong.”

digoxinThroughout the second trimester, late abortions can be completed by dismembering the developed unborn child, even when they can feel pain, pulling the baby out piece by piece until the mother’s uterus is empty. After the abortion, the abortionist must reassemble the child’s body to ensure nothing has been left inside the child’s mother.

In abortions that take place later in pregnancy, which would be legalized in New York by the abortion-expanding Women’s Equality Act, often babies are killed by sliding a needle filled with a chemical agent, such as digoxin, into the beating heart, before being delivered.

New York State Right to Life commented on reintroduction of the so-called “Women’s Equality Act” and pointed to another problem.

The 10th point of the Women’s Equality Act, pushed for by Governor Cuomo, would change New York law to open the doors for non-doctors to perform abortions, and to allow abortions in the third trimester for any reason. Current law already allows abortion at any point that a woman’s life is in danger, but the 10th point would change that to include any “health” reason as well. The key distinction is that “health” was defined in the 1973 court case Doe v. Bolton, providing a definition so broad that it far overreaches physical, or even mental, well-being.

A poll conducted by McLaughlin and Associates last year found that 79.5% of New Yorkers oppose allowing unlimited abortion right through the ninth month of pregnancy.

“It is still surprising to me that some Senators so militantly support abortion on demand that basic human rights, safety for mothers and even widespread public opinion months before an election is completely off their radar.”  They hide behind ‘health’ pretending their dangerous agenda is seeking to help women,” added Kehoe. “But the truth is that passage of the 10th point of the Women’s Equality Act only serves the violent abortion industry. We urge the New York State Senate to listen to the voters, and to common sense, and oppose this radical expansion of abortion.”

Obama Administration just got caught in a massive lie.


http://www.wvoc.com/onair/jonathon-kelly-49688/obama-administration-just-got-caught-in-12378597#ixzz32TS44NO7

Posted Wednesday, May 21st 2014 @ 11am

karikatur für titelseite-barack pinocchioThe LA Times has been as friendly as possible to the Obama administration, but they can’t ignore this. Today they broke the story that another massive lie around Obamacare has been told to the Congress and the American people. As you know “If you like your health plan, you can keep your health plan” was ranked as the biggest lie of the year by the Washington Post.  Well here comes an early contender for this years award. 

The Republicans have been accusing the Obama administration of building into Obamacare an insurance plan for the insurance companies. A bailout if the insurance companies lost money under Obamacare. Their claim was that in the law was something called the temporary risk corridor program. Under that Republicans said the administration had allowed themselves a way to take tax dollars and bailout an insurance company that lost money. But the administration and the Democrats have denied that. Apparently the administration and the Democrats had been telling the truth…and didn’t like it.

The LA Times reports that late last week hundreds of pages of new regulations were added to Obamacare. Their reporters went through it and found a few key paragraphs. The change in regulations essentially provides insurers with another backup: If they keep rate increases modest over the next couple of years but lose money, the administration will tap federal funds as needed to cover shortfalls. This could be hundreds of billions of dollars!

This is a classic bait and switch. The middle class will feel like they’re getting a break on insurance premiums. As long as they don’t look at the governments check book, they’ll believe the Affordable Health Care Law is working. It only unravels if they realize they are paying double for their insurance, because the increase is being charged to their account in the form of more debt.

The Republicans are expected to go nuts over this, and the Democrats will point at the scene they are making and say ‘look how fanatical those people are’. I Complete Messagewould warn Republicans against making a big deal out of this. In the medical field it’s called bedside manner. You’re about to inform the patient (America) that it has a potentially fatal disease (debt). They are going to get a 2nd opinion from the Democrats that will contradict your diagnosis. If you come off as raving lunatics, the patient will believe the diagnosis of the other doctor who is telling them they’re fine. Conservatives don’t have the luxury of showing anger anymore. They have been rightly angry over a number of scandals, but it turns the middle off. It’s vital that the middle hears and comprehends what your message is.

This won’t be classified as a scandal by the media, so we shouldn’t either.

  • Talk calmly about the disappointment you feel in the administration burying new regulations into the law,
  • that Congress didn’t get to vote on,
  • that will cost us potentially hundreds of billions of dollars.
  • Talk about how crony capitialism between this administration and a select few insurance companies has perpetrated a fraud on the American tax payer to make it seem like the Affordable Healthcare Act is helping to keep costs low when in actuality it is forcing prices to skyrocket while making it more difficult for all Americans to receive treatment.
  • Encourage them to read today’s LA Times story.
  • Don’t get into arguments with liberals who support wholeheartedly what is happening out of a blind belief that this is helping. You will not win an Never Argueargument with someone who refuses to look at the facts honestly. And in your rage will potentially dissuade fair minded folks from investigating for themselves.

I don’t believe Obamacare will be the law of the land for long. Sometime around 2017 it will either move to socialized medicine or as the Democrats have branded it “single payer”, or it will turn into some free market based system which probably includes some government subsidies and Health Savings Accounts. There is a lot depending on the way this argument is settled and it’s important that the patients understand what their decision means for their health.

Obama’s intel chiefs lied to Congress about Muslim Brotherhood connections


http://allenbwest.com/2014/05/obamas-intel-chiefs-lied-congress-muslim-brotherhood-connections/#Bz6zsOji5lBzfpaB.99

Written by Allen West on May 20, 2014

ISNA President Imam Mohamed Magid

ISNA President Imam Mohamed Magid

Ever since President Obama’s speech in 2009 in Cairo — the birthplace of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) — there have always been questions about the Obama administration’s link to the grandfather of Islamic terrorism. Now, thanks to the work of Ryan Mauro at the Clarion Project, it seems the concern is warranted, as Mauro reports that “Newly declassified documents obtained by the Clarion Project show that the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) misled members of Congress in 2012 about its involvement with Muslim Brotherhood-linked entities. Further, the documents show that there were even a number of internal communications within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence expressing concerns about the Brotherhood links of these entities.”

There is no doubt that this current administration is very close to groups such as the Council for American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and Islamic Society of North America (ISNA).

The Clarion Project reports that the story of the deception began when the Director of National Intelligence James Clapper testified to Congress on February 10, 2011 saying that the Muslim Brotherhood is “a very heterogeneous group, largely secular, which has eschewed violence and has described Al-Qaeda as a perversion of Islam.”Really 01

If this weren’t so serious, it would be laughable. For Clapper to state the Muslim Brotherhood has eschewed violence and is some benign organization is ludicrous and calls into question his competence. Obviously Director of National Intelligence Clapper has never read the MB’s Explanatory Memorandum for their Strategic Objective in North America. Furthermore, he has never read the MB Charter, which is much aligned with the “perversion of Islam” of al-Qaida, a group which spawned — and it’s not really a perversion if you read the Koran and the hadiths. Just ask Meriam Yehya Ibrahim, the 27-year-old pregnant woman being held in prison in Sudan for apostasy about the perversions of Islam — we reported on her story here.

In the hearing in February 2011, Clapper was asked by Rep. Jeff Miller (R-FL) about the administration’s relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood. He answered, “There have been outreaches to the Muslim community in general, but I guess we’re not aware of any direct outreach to these particular organizations. That is, if you’re speaking domestically.”

FBI Director Mueller then chimed in, saying there is “no relationship with the Brotherhood. Period.” The CIA Director Leon Panetta then agreed, dismissively laughing in the process. Clapper’s office later issued a clarification, backtracking on his inaccurate statement that the Brotherhood is “secular.”

Just four months later, on June 12, 2012, a 90-minute “Roundtable Discussion” took place at National Intelligence’s headquarters in McLean, Virginia. At the meeting, Clapper met in person with a representative of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). Also present were National Counter-Terrorism Center Director Matthew Olson and Alexander Joel, ODNI Civil Liberties Protection Officer.

Mind you, in 2007, the Justice Department listed ISNA as a U.S. Muslim Brotherhood entity and designated them as an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorism-financing trial of the history of the U.S. In that trial, the Holy Land Foundation, a Muslim Brotherhood front, was found guilty of funding Hamas. You can read the Clarion’s report on ISNA here. In fact, ISNA was identified as Brotherhood front as early as 1987.

Yet in 2012, the president of ISNA, Imam Mohamed Magid, was invited to meet with the Director of National Intelligence. Unable to attend, he sent a substitute in his place. The email that went out inviting ISNA’s president (among others) stated that he was chosen because, “We believe you have important insights to share with the Intelligence Community (IC) about how the IC pursues its mandate of providing the most insightful intelligence possible, while simultaneously safeguarding civil liberties and privacy.”

ISNA has important insights to share with the America intelligence community about pursuing insightful intelligence? How dumb and naive can one possibly be?

Just a little insight into ISNA and their former ISNA-Secretary General, Sayyid Syeed, the National Director of ISNA’s Office of Interfaith and Community Alliances. In the Grand Deception, a documentary about the Muslim Brotherhood in America, Syeed appears in footage taken in 2006 declaring, “Our job is to change the Constitution of America.” Syeed was the supervisor of ISNA’s Director of Community Outreach, Mohamed Elsanousi who attended the meeting with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). As well, shortly after meeting Clapper, Elsanousi accompanied ISNA President Imam Mohammed Magid to a conference in Mauritania hosted by a top leader of a major Muslim Brotherhood organization named the International Union of Muslim Scholars.

“…. Syeed appears in footage taken in 2006 declaring,Our job is to change the Constitution of America.”

The day after the meeting, on June 13, 2012, five members of Congress asked the Director of National Intelligence’s Intelligence Community Inspector-General, I. Charles McCullough III, to begin a formal investigation or evaluation of the Director of National Intelligence’s work with groups linked to the Brotherhood, specifically mentioning the Islamic Society of North America and its leader, Magid.

I could go on forever but I think you get the gist. Either the Obama administration — especially ODNI Clapper — is horribly naive, or they are complicit and guilty of coordination with our enemy, the Muslim Brotherhood.

Frankly, I don’t care where President Barack Hussein Obama was born. What I do care about – with deep concern — is an Eastern, Islamic orientation he apparently possesses which permeates his administration and ideology — resulting in aiding and abetting those who seek to destroy our Constitutional Republic.

Leftists: Determined To Be Pimps For Islam’s Prophet


http://clashdaily.com/2014/05/leftists-determined-pimps-islams-prophet/#g0XVMyLKt1kJFJ7u.99

By / 21 May 2014

Ever since Islam showed the West some “love” on 9-11…those on the Left (on both sides of the aisle) have made their vocation covering, protecting and exculpating for the devout followers of Islam, and actively soliciting for their dogma.

The dictionary defines the word “Pimp” as: 1. a person who solicits customers for a prostitute or a brothel, usually in return for a share of the earnings; pander; procurer. 2. a despicable person.

That clearly makes these Leftists metaphorically: Pimps for Islam’s Prophet…

With all the evidence of the ideology revealing hatred, intolerance and a bloodlust for all who do not share their admiration for their Prophet or his rhetoric…these sad, yet perniciously naive peeps continue to perpetuate lies to protect the creed from offense. Those actions simultaneously enable this draconian system to garner more ground AGAINST freedom.

Why would ANYONE, in their right mind (putting aside that Leftists are NOT in their right mind), do such a thing?

Here’s why…Leftists, like all human beings, are a prideful lot. But THEY make a greater investment in their pride, which causes an intractability to acquire new information (new facts often cause the state of cognitive dissonance in them). Living off sound bytes, rather than applying critical thinking to an issue, they invest themselves in the first info presented to them (i.e. ‘Islam is a religion of peace’). When new, contradictory info is revealed…rather than investigating it, they cling to the original info out of fear that people will think they were amateurish dupes, for spreading falsehoods. It takes Humility ( a concept entirely foreign to the Left) to admit you are wrong.

Ultimately, they care little for any and ALL that might be harmed by their choosing to continue dispersing lies (i.e. Christians being targeted by the Muslim Brotherhood, Boko Haram and their ilk).

Until the Left humbles itself to care MORE for others, than it cares for its own feelings…corrupt, hateful and deadly ideologies like Islam, will continue to strut their vile stuff unabated…because they’re protected and promoted by the Prophet’s Pimps.

The President Keeps Learning About His Administration’s Scandals On the News

May 19, 2014 5:21 pm

President Obama continues to find out about scandals going on inside his own administration from media reports rather than from his staffers.

If he read the Free Beacon, he and his administration might be on top of things a little more quickly.

The latest ugly story that the White House claims Obama only learned of from the news is the VA scandal, where veterans’ hospitals around the country have mistreated or forgotten veterans seeking medical care.

“If you mean the specific allegations that I think were reported first by your network out of Phoenix, I believe we learned about them through the reports,” said Press Secretary Jay Carney Monday. “I will double-check if that’s not the case. But that’s when we learned about them, and that’s when, as I understand it, Secretary Shinseki learned about them and immediately took the action that he has taken, including instigating his own review — or initiating his own review, but also requesting that the Inspector General investigate.”

The story about the Justice Department seizing records from the Associated Press? The news that the IRS had deliberately targeted conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status? The Fast & Furious gun-running scandal? That time the plane flew over Manhattan without authorization?

Obama learned about all of it on the news. Even MSNBC’s Morning Joe compiled a montage of all the times Obama has had his head in the clouds on scandals plaguing his administration.

Obama Denies Wait Times At VA Led To Deaths…

http://weaselzippers.us/186786-obama-denies-wait-times-at-va-led-to-deaths/

All you can do is shake your head in disbelief.

Via the transcript from today’s remarks:

[W]ell, we have to find out first of all what exactly happened. And I don’t want to get ahead of the IG report or the other investigations that are being done.

And I think it is important to recognize that the wait times generally — what the IG indicated so far, at least, is the wait times were folks who may have had chronic conditions, were seeking their next appointment, but may have already received service. It was not necessarily a situation where they were calling for emergency services. And the IG indicated that he did not see a link between the wait and them actually dying.

That does not excuse the fact that the wait times in general are too long in some facilities. And so what we have to do is find out what exactly happened. We have to find out how can we realistically cut some of these wait times. There has been a large influx of new veterans coming in. We’ve got a population of veterans that is also aging, as part of the baby boom population. And we’ve got to make sure that the scheduling system, the access to the system, that all those things are in sync.

VA Supervisor: Older Veterans Should be “Shot in the Head” to Save Money

Exclusive: Whistleblower reveals new Veterans Affairs scandal

 

by Paul Joseph Watson | May 21, 2014

A Veterans Affairs whistleblower has exclusively revealed to Infowars that the facility at which he works has engaged in a of cover-up in response to the VA hospital scandal, while also relating the story of how one supervisor expressed his desire to see older veterans “taken outside and shot in the head.”

whistle

The whistleblower, who wishes to remain anonymous for obvious reasons, works at a large 250 acre VA hospital in North Carolina. He presented his credentials to us which checked out. The VA employee lifted the lid on a number of shocking details during an interview with Sgt. Joe Biggs.

“Recently there’s been a very rapid race to move records, boxes, change labels, whatever it may be, they’re putting them in rooms that nobody would look in….and there’s multiple times that I have seen in the past week or so them moving boxes….so apparently they’re hiding their tracks somewhere,” stated the VA employee, adding that the activity preceded an inspection of the facility, suggesting it was part of an effort to conceal evidence in the aftermath of the secret waiting list scandal.

Even more chilling was a warning sent out to VA employees at the facility which, according to the whistleblower, was meant to get across the message, “Do you see what happens to the people that try to get things straight around here, they’re not here anymore,” a tone the whistleblower described as “pretty telling.”

The employee also revealed the shocking attitude of one supervisor at the hospital towards older veterans, who asserted that older vets “should be taken outside and shot in the head because they’re worthless.” The individual still works at the hospital and was not disciplined for his comments.

“How can you stop the corruption and the insanity if you have a supervisor who is a non-veteran saying these things to veterans, scaring them about their jobs and telling them because they’re an older veteran ‘you ought to be taken outside and shot in the head’,” asked the employee.

The whistleblower also related how he knew veterans that had been denied health care at the hospital. However, since the VA scandal broke in the news, the whistleblower states there has been a huge influx of patients into his facility, a move he describes as “a dog and pony show.”

Explaining that the scandal went way beyond patient care, the whistleblower said that corruption within the VA was “overwhelming,” and that working doctors were being replaced by students and residential doctors on weekends to save money.

“That creates a cost cut on the clinical side which lines the pockets of the upper administration and puts our veterans’ health at risk,” asserted the whistleblower, adding that his facility routinely loses patients and that “there’s lack of care everywhere.”

The employee also revealed that cronyism was rampant within the hospital, with family members of existing staff being hired in preference of veterans in desperate need of employment.

“It’s a huge bureaucracy and it’s a huge game and somebody has to break the corruption,” stated the whistleblower, adding that people were scared to speak out because they might lose their jobs and their pensions.

“There’s more than just what you’re seeing on TV and they’re hiding a lot of things and you’re never going to see it on the mass media,” concluded the whistleblower.

The new revelations come in the aftermath of a scandal that has claimed the lives of at least 40 veterans as a result of them being kept on secret waiting lists. The backlogs which caused the deaths are now known to have occurred in at least 19 states. New questions have also emerged about VA workers gaming the system at the expense of veterans. A whistleblower also revealed how she was ordered to falsify records of appointments at Fort Collins, Colorado to make it appear as if veterans were receiving speedy treatment.

Concerns that the VA scandal represents an example of death panels waiting to happen under Obamacare have been expressed in recent days as Obama himself faces mounting criticism over his failure to address the issue publicly.

“It’s simply unconscionable,” said radio host Rush Limbaugh on his national broadcast Monday. “So you have to ask, the natural assumption is that nobody wants these people to die, even if you add the death panel component, nobody wants these people to die, yet they are. At the very least what we’re dealing with here is a total inability to deal with this. And at worst it’s the death panel being done on purpose.”

The issue of death panels and the eugenicist mindset of people having to die in order to allow others to have jobs or health care has stoked controversy for years, most notably in 2010 when Bill Gates suggested that elderly patients should be denied medical treatment in order to spend the money on hiring more teachers. Newsweek also promoted a similar idea in a 2009 front page story entitled ‘The Case For Killing Granny’.

“Lady” Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)


Benghazi RemebrenceIf you don’t already know, Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has announced that she has decided to put five Democrats on the Benghazi investigative panel. She repeated that she still believes that this is a waste of time, and claims that “…the family members” asked why all this was being “dragged up again.

Let’s get this straight. The only thing Pelosi wants to to obstruct the investigation and protect her precious President Obama and Hillary Clinton. She is NOT interested in any of the truth to be published. She want the American people to just believe what the Leftist want them to believe and that’s it. They care nothing for the truth, because the truth will set the record straight and further anger the American people about what “knot-heads” the Leftist really are.

Let’s also get some language definitions because we keep hearing the same lame phrases andf talking points coming out of the Left;

(1) “The Benghazi incident has already been investigated by several entities and all the answer have been determined.

ANOTHER LEFTIST LIE. The information given each of the investigations are so redacted making them unusable. Giving investigators boxes full of papers does not mean they have complied with legal orders to provide specific evidence. Not all papers are created equal. I’m confident the Leftist could fill the Capital building with boxes of paper, but that does not mean they are the correct papers need to complete the investigation.

(2) Each and every investigation has not turned up any wrong doing by the Obama Whitehouse or the Hillary Clinton State Department.”

ANOTHER LEFTIST LIE. It has been determined that there are multiple people that were NOT deposed making any investigation incomplete. Several of these people have come forward, who have first hand knowledge of what happened in Benghazi September 11 2012. They also have much information about what happened leading up to the attacks.

(3) “This is just a conspiracy effort of the Republicans to embarrass President Obama.” “The Republicans are doing this because they are afraid of losing control of the Congress after the mid term elections.” “The Republicans are doing this because they are racist and hate President Obama because he is Black.”

MORE LEFTIST LIES. Conservatives want the truth to come out. Their efforts are no more motivated than the Leftist had when they made the same big deal over “Watergate”. Big difference; FOUR PATRIOTS DID NOT DIE DURING “WATERGATE”.

There are more, but you get the point.

Another Report from the Growing President Obama Police State


Cops Beat Veteran to Death after Traffic Stop for No Front License Plate

http://freedomoutpost.com/2014/05/cops-beat-veteran-tommy-yancy-to-death-after-traffic-stop-for-no-front-license-plate/#S2hJqDfFT5FWTyp4.99

Growing National Problem from the Growing National Police State Developed by the Leftist/Marxist/Socialist, President Obama and his Whitehouse.

On Mother’s Day Tommy Yancy, father of two, was pulled over for not having a front license plate. What transpired beyond that point is not totally clear, but his injuries resulted in his death later that day. Yancy, 32, was a veteran of both Iraq and Afghanistan.

There has been almost zero information or media coverage of the incident. A local publication, Imperial Valley Press, offers only a sidenote about his family raising money for his memorial and this:

A source that wants to remain anonymous has come forward with a video and “WeAreChange” posted it to YouTube on Sunday.

The quality of the video leaves a lot to be desired, but a lot of information is provided in the “About Section” of the video:

death 

Tommy Yancy, 32, father of two, was savagely beaten to death by five law enforcement officers during a routine traffic stop near the city of Imperial last Sunday, on Mother’s Day. Yancy, a veteran who suffered from PTSD, served in Afghanistan and Iraq in the 259th Field Service Unit following the 9/11 attacks.

Yancy was stopped on his way to the store after a highway patrol officer spotted a missing front license plate on his vehicle. He was subsequently pulled from his car and attacked by a police K-9 unit, hit by a taser, and attacked by five officers until he succumbed to the beating and died. A witnessed, who filmed the incident, can be heard screaming on the recording: “How long before you guys call an ambulance? Call an ambulance!” According to the source of the video, who asked not to be named, his family has not been permitted to see his body, nor have they been given a cause of death.

A close friend of Yancy described him as “shy, and a comedian” and told me, he was an “excellent dad, who kept in contact with his army buddies every week.” He also enjoyed basketball and loved hip-hop music. His sister-in-law, Jaqueline Hernandez, described him to me as “a very loving guy, loved his kids to death… they were his everything. Very funny down to earth guy, and loved by all.”

Officers claim Yancy swung at an officer and attacked the K-9, however, near the end of the video, posted to YouTube on May 12 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoqvX…), police are seen attempting to revive Yancy while a witness states, “All of this for one guy who wasn’t even resisting arrest,” the officer is said to have received no serious injuries.

Deputies with the Imperial County sheriff’s department were involved in another shooting last month, which took place on April 18. A teenager, Adrian Parra, was killed by multiple gunshot wounds. An honor roll student from Coachella Valley High School, Parra was described by loved ones as “a good person with great goals in mind.” The Sheriff’s department has refused to reveal whether or not the shooting was captured by one of their patrol car’s dashboard cameras. Two officers involved in the shooting were placed on administrative leave, but have since returned to their duties.

Read more at YouTube…Tyranney Alert

The witness claims that Yancy did not resist. The police involved, whether it be Imperial County, the California Highway Patrol, or both, will surely offer another story line. We cannot assume that this entire account is factual. Maybe he did resist.

However, even if he did resist and regardless of the details, it is hard to imagine a scenario in which a routine traffic stop should result in a man being beaten to death. Yet these stories are becoming all too common in today’s world.

Dr. Ben Carson Schools NBC’s David Gregory on Slavery, Obamacare and Marxism


http://www.tpnn.com/2014/05/19/dr-ben-carson-schools-nbcs-david-gregory-on-slavery-obamacare-and-marxism/

Dr.Ben.Carson 
Dr. Ben Carson educated NBC’s David Gregory on  Meet the Press  on Sunday, during a segment where Gregory attempted to smear Carson with a “gotcha” question.

Gregory played a clip from 2013 where Dr. Carson said that Obamacare was “the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery. And it is in a way, it is slavery, in a way because it is making all of us subservient to the government and it was never about health care. It was about control.”

Gregory, a mouthpiece for the Obama regime masquerading as a journalist, tried to make that statement stick as Carson’s “legacy,” asking Carson, “People who have health care now that didn’t have it before, I suspect would disagree strongly with you, but I wonder, in addition, is that really how you wanted to be defined, how you wanna put government on trial in effect, in a political way?”

Dr. Carson educated Gregory (see video below) that giving up control of one’s healthcare decisions to government is a loss of freedom and a type of slavery. Dr. Carson said that government takeover of healthcare is a Marxist tactic to take control of the populace and that there is a better way to make sure everyone has access to healthcare:

DR. BEN CARSON:  Well, first of all, recognize what I said — “worst thing since slavery.” I didn’t say that it was slavery. People who are well-read…[Gregory interrupts]

DAVID GREGORY:   [Interrupting Dr. Carson] Well, you said it is slavery in a way because it makes all of us subservient to the government…

CARSON:  Right, and I said, “in a way.” In a way, anything is slavery that robs you of your ability to control your own life, and when you take the most important thing you that you have, which is your health care, and you put that in the hands of government bureaucrats, I think you have done the wrong thing.

And, as I was about to say [before Gregory interrupted], you go back an look at the neo-Marxist literature and look at what they say, you don’t have to listen to what I say, about taking control of healthcare of the populace and making the people dependent.

This is not what America is about.

Do I believe in healthcare for everybody? Absolutely! But, I think they’re much better ways to get there which leaves healthcare in the hands of patients and of doctors.

How Liberalism Violates All 10 Commandments


Group-protests-Ten-Commandments-620×350

One of my readers, we’ll call him Moses, is the publisher of a mainstream newspaper in California. He wrote me the other day with an insightful observation. Since Moses works in one of the most liberal industries, in one of the most liberal states in the union, I won’t divulge his real name. We don’t want Moses tarred, feathered and banished to Oklahoma with a scarlet “C,” for Christian, emblazoned on his Harris Tweed sport coat. (Note: I have antipathy toward neither Oklahoma – I once lived there – nor Harris Tweed, though I do recommend against wearing Harris Tweed in Oklahoma. Especially in the summer.)

“Matt, think about this,” wrote Moses. “Every one of the Ten Commandments is explicitly violated by a principle of the left.”

And you know what? Slap me with a Red River catfish if Moses ain’t exactly right.

To be sure, as individuals, we’ve all violated many, if not most or all, of the 10 Commandments. In our fallen, sinful state we have an inherent propensity to rebel against God’s perfect and holy will for our lives. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).

Thank God for making available a path, narrow as it is, for eternal redemption and salvation through Christ Jesus.

Still, there is a difference between individual sins and a philosophical worldview that embraces those sins as a matter of course. Modern liberalism – “progressivism,” leftism, secularism, pick your poison – is built upon, by and for sin itself. Liberalism’s entire fabric is constructed by precept planks that are soaked through and stained by man’s arrogant rebellion against our Creator God.

In sum, liberalism is folly. It represents man’s futile attempt to disorder God’s natural order. It’s the unholy brainchild of God’s very first enemy, given by that enemy to God’s favored creation, us, with the sole purpose of destroying that creation.

Unfortunately, we’re all too happy to help. Liberalism just formalizes the process, making sin public policy.

Volumes could be penned on the myriad ways in which the central tenets of liberalism violate each of the Ten Commandments. The following is a much truncated analysis:

1. Thou Shalt Have No Gods Before Me.

At worst, liberalism denies the very existence of God in the forms of atheism and secularism, while, at best, it adopts that wonderfully “inclusive” blasphemy called religious pluralism. Pluralism presumes to give the false gods of false religions equal footing and denies Christ as He defined Himself: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). Liberal “Christianity” falls under this category. It’s pluralism with a Christian stamp.

Secular humanism, liberalism’s prevailing false religion, denies God altogether and crowns man as king over himself and the measure of all things. “Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die.”

2. Thou Shalt Not Make Graven Images.

We’re talking idolatry here. Liberalism is built on it. First, there’s literal idolatry (the worship of man-made idols, animals or inanimate objects) enjoyed by our New Age friends. And then there’s everything else: pantheistic environmentalism, the idols of “reproductive freedom,” “sexual liberation and equality,” etc.

Essentially, liberalism worships the created over the Creator. Liberalism also worships the sins of the flesh (see Commandments No. 1, 6 and 7).

Leftist State Religion

3. Thou Shalt Not Take the Lord’s Name in Vain.

  • To deny God is to take the Lord’s name in vain.
  • To deny God as He defines Himself is to take the Lord’s name in vain.
  • To misrepresent God, to call other gods God or to deny the deity of Christ is to take the Lord’s name in vain.

Liberalism does this and much more. Many liberals also mock Christ, Christianity and Christians. They revile the exclusive nature of Jesus, His commands and His faithful followers. They hate truth.

4. Remember to Keep Holy the Sabbath.

This one is a bit tricky as it is widely understood to fall under the Jewish ceremonial law, not the moral law – the old covenant, not the new. Christ Himself healed (worked) on the Sabbath. That said, many Christians still view Sunday as the Sabbath and do, indeed, keep it holy. Not all liberals (there are certainly liberal Jews), but liberalism at large denies the Sabbath any significance whatsoever, much less a holy significance.

5. Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother.

Liberalism seeks to supplant parents with “progressive” government. It diminishes parental rights and encourages children to rebel against the antiquated conventions held by mom and dad. It denies that children even need a mother and father and bristles at the “heteronormative” lack of “gender neutrality” inherent within the very words “mother and father.” The sin-centered, counter-biblical notion of “gay marriage” desecrates God’s design for true marriage and family and is intended to undermine these cornerstone institutions.

6. Thou Shalt Not Murder.

  • Abortion,
  • euthanasia,
  • “pro-choice,”
  • reproductive rights,”
  • “death with dignity.”

Need I say more? Sacrosanct is the liberal rite of passage for a feminist mother to slaughter her own child in the womb. Fifty-five million dead babies later, liberals continue to worship at the pagan altar of “choice” (see Commandments No. 1 and 2).

7. Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery.

This means all sexual immorality as identified in the scriptures, to include

  • marital infidelity,
  • fornication,
  • homosexuality,
  • bestiality,
  • incest,
  • et al.

Liberalism, it seems, embraces all perversions of God’s design for human sexuality. Central to liberalism is moral relativism. When it comes to sex, you can do no wrong because there is no wrong.

8. Thou Shalt Not Steal.

With class warfare as its fuel, liberalism embraces the redistributionist philosophies of Marx and Engels. Liberalism thrives on theft. Like some completely incompetent and inefficient Robin Hood, liberal government steals from the middle class to give to the poor, thereby ensuring that liberal politicians remain in power and everyone else remains miserable.

9. Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness.

I give you Saul Alinsky from his Rules for Radicals:

“The third rule of ethics of means and ends is that in war the end justifies almost any means.”

As we’ve learned from Barack “you can keep your insurance” Obama, that includes lying. Liberals lie. That’s what they do. The ends justify the means. Bearing false witness about detractors of liberalism is par for the course.

10. Thou Shalt Not Covet.

Again, liberalism uses man’s inherent covetousness as the driving force behind all liberal economic policies. Creating a political climate of economic envy and class warfare gives liberal government the cover needed to take wealth from those who produce and redistribute it to those who don’t. Not only does liberalism violate this commandment, liberalism commands its adherents to do the exact opposite. “Thou shalt covet.”

As Satan “masquerades as an angel of light” (2 Corinthians 11:14), so, too, does liberalism masquerade as good. It’s deceptively packaged in flowery euphemisms and feel-good sound bites that promise “equality,” “tolerance” and libertine notions of “social justice.”

Yet, in reality, liberalism, in both philosophical and practical terms, simply signifies man’s predisposition to “call evil good and good evil.” It’s sin, all dolled up and doled out.

Ronald Reagan once quipped, “I have wondered at times what the Ten Commandments would have looked like if Moses had run them through the U.S. Congress.”

If the Gipper had lived another couple decades, he might’ve found out.

The following is satire:

A college softball player from the University of Texas shocked the sports world today by coming out as a heterosexual.

In an emotional press conference this morning, Jennifer Ryan, 23, announced that she was a “proud member” of the opposite-sex community. The senior shortstop is believed to be the first and only openly straight women’s softball player in the history of NCAA athletics.

“I would just like to thank everyone who has supported me through this difficult time in my life,” she told reporters at McCombs Field in Austin. “For years I have known that I was different, but lacked the courage to be open about my lifestyle with family, friends and teammates.

“Today I would like to tell the world that I am straight. It’s not something that I chose. I was simply born this way. And after years of living in the closet, the time has come for me to start being who I really am.

“I want to tell every little girl in America: you don’t have to be gay to be an elite softball player. Straight athletes hit just as hard, pitch just as hard, and run just as hard as everybody else.
