Governor Kate Brown of Oregon signed a bill on May 6, 2019 that will allow dentists in that state to administer vaccinations. House Bill 2220, which passed Oregon’s House of Representatives on Mar. 28, 2019 and Senate on Apr. 25, will make it possible for dentists to give vaccines, including MMR, HPV and annual flu shots, to their patients during dental checkups.1 2 3
“Dentists are highly trained medical practitioners who are well-positioned to provide this additional preventive care service. Increasing our scope of practice to the administration of vaccines will help further integrate oral health with physical and behavioral health, ultimately better serving our patients,” ODA president James McMahan, DMD said.3
HB 2220 requires dentists to take a continuing education training course on vaccination and comply with state vaccine storage and reporting regulations in order to be certified to become a vaccinator. Protocols and training rules will be developed by the Oregon Board of Dentistry, Oregon Health & Sciences University (OHSU) and the Oregon Dental Association (ODA).1 2 3
One of the issues that will have to be addressed by the implementation protocols will be determining for dentists which vaccines their patients have already received. “They won’t have all the vaccine history of a patient. They’ll have to communicate with the primary health care provider or have access to those records. So that’s one of those wrinkles we’ll have to be addressing in rules,” Board of Dentistry director Stephen Prisby said.4
Prisby says he believes the board will have protocols and training rules in place by Jan. 1. 2020.4
With the signing of HB 2220, Oregon becomes the first state in the U.S. to permit dentists to vaccinate patients of any age, including young children, with many types of vaccines. According to Oregon Public Broadcasting, dentists in Minnesota and Illinois can only give influenza vaccine to adults. The University of Minnesota’s School of Dentistry offers a 10-hour, self-paced, online course to administer flu shots and also offers a more basic three-hour online course.5 6

NEW WORLD ORDER & ONE APOSTATE RELIGION: POPE FRANCIS CALLS FOR END OF SOVEREIGNTY & ESTABLISHMENT OF GLOBAL GOVERNMENT

“But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.”

2 Timothy 3:1-5 ESV
And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
Revelation 13:7


NEW WORLD ORDER & ONE APOSTATE RELIGION: 

POPE FRANCIS CALLS FOR END OF SOVEREIGNTY & ESTABLISHMENT OF GLOBAL GOVERNMENT
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:
At a meeting of the Pontifical Academy held recently, Pope Francis (shown in white) advocated a policy of decreased national sovereignty and increased global unity. A shift toward globalism is necessary, he said, in order to fight climate change and other worldwide “threats.”
"When a supranational common good is clearly identified, it is necessary to have a special authority legally and concordantly constituted capable of facilitating its implementation. We think of the great contemporary challenges of climate change, new forms of slavery and peace,” his holiness told those gathered to discuss “Nation, State, and Nation-State,” the conference theme.
Pope Francis put a pretty fine point on his message, claiming that planetary problems are exacerbated by “an excessive demand for sovereignty on the part of States.”
He moved on to immigration, declaring that nationalism is too easily twisted into a doctrine repugnant to the welcoming of immigrants. “The Church observes with concern the reemergence, in many parts of the world, of currents that are aggressive towards foreigners, especially immigrants, as well as a growing nationalism that neglects the common good,” Pope Francis said.
Our only hope for planetary peace and progress is to make room for “international organizations” to develop into governing bodies, supplanting the “state interests” with the will of the United Nations, he stated.
Speaking of the United Nations, Pope Francis announced his ardent support for the sine qua non of all globalists: “sustainable development.”
He declared that if we hope to save the planet we must accept that we are one people and unite to create "a space for dialogue and meeting for all countries in a spirit of mutual respect," and must stop what "hinders the attainment of the sustainable development goals approved unanimously by the United Nations."
And the hits just keep on coming.
Pope Francis warned attendees that sovereign nations attempting to govern themselves will find they are unable to protect their populations from the myriad menaces abroad in the world. "The nation-state is no longer able to procure the common good of its populations alone. The common good has become global and nations must associate for their own benefit," Francis said. 
For our own benefit? Who benefits from global government? Ask yourself this question: In the nearly 75 years of the United Nations' existence, have wars ceased? Has the number of wars decreased? Are the signatories to the UN Charter moved toward greater prosperity or toward deeper economic depression? 
Of course, there is no need to argue whether or not the United Nations has been a blessing to the nations of the Earth. It has undoubtedly been the source of bloodshed, violence, oppression, and Marxism.
His holiness suggested that governments around the globe should "strengthen their cooperation by connecting certain functions and services to intergovernmental institutions that manage their common interests."  
"When a supranational common good is clearly identified, it is necessary to have a special authority that is legally and concordantly constituted and capable of facilitating its implementation," the pope concluded. 
Apparently, the pope has pondered our awful situation and found that small nation-based governments are the cause of great suffering, so the obvious solution to the problem of government is bigger government.
Pontifical politics, it seems, makes for strange bedfellows, as explained in a recent article by Steve Byas published in January in The New American:
“Of course, those who favor world government can be expected to praise the 2015 encyclical and the pope’s remarks this week, condemning 'nationalism.' But other positions of the Roman Catholic Church, such as opposition to abortion, are regularly belittled by many of the same globalists who are praising Francis now,” Byas wrote.
Those people pushing for unlimited access to abortion loathe the Roman Catholic Church and its centuries-long opposition to the murder of children in utero are the very people standing with the head of that church in the fight to kill sovereignty and establish a one-world government.
That seemingly bizarre and undeniably unholy alliance should be enough to compel people to question what the underlying goal of the globalists must be.
In other words, what sort of government would the pope and pro-abortion advocates find mutually commendable? Could it be that those who are in the shadows of this scheme are pleased by the pope’s support for their sinister aim, regardless of whether he appreciates the implications of the fulfillment of their plans? Of course! 
When it comes to convincing Catholics and the rest of the world that their only hope for peace, prosperity, and planetary salvation is found in the surrender of sovereignty, the hands pulling the strings believe that the only bad publicity is no publicity. They may loathe Pope Francis’ steadfast opposition to abortion, but they can hold their noses long enough to make effective use of his global influence.
What Pope Francis likely does not understand is that in the United States, the people are — were — sovereign, meaning that ultimately there is no will above the will of the people. Our Declaration of Independence recognizes the right of all people to “alter or abolish” a government if that government ceases to perform its only legitimate function: to protect the rights of life, liberty, and property.
That the entire foundation of the Anglo-American concept of self-government, liberty, and popular sovereignty is annihilated by even the theory of global government is revealed in one question: Would the UN (or whatever the global government would be called) be subject to alteration or abolition by the people of the United States of America?
There is no space for doubt. Should the pope’s plan be brought to pass, there would be no liberty as it has been understood by Englishmen and Americans for over 1,000 years.
Americans are blessed in that time yet remains for us to resist the subjugation of our military to multinational commanders, to resist the surrendering of the legislative power to supranational congresses populated with lawmakers unaccountable to the American people, to resist the eradication of state sovereignty and the protection of republican government provided thereby, and, finally, to resist the chronic disregard of constitutional principles on the part of our elected leaders.

ADDRESS OF THE HOLY FATHER FRANCIS  TO THE PARTICIPANTS IN THE PLENARY OF THE  PONTIFICAL ACADEMY OF SOCIAL SCIENCES
Sala Clementina  Thursday, 2 May 2019
Multimedia ]
Dear sisters and brothers ,
I welcome you and thank your President, Prof. Stefano Zamagni, for his kind words and for having accepted to preside over the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences . Also this year you have chosen to deal with a topic of permanent relevance. Unfortunately, we have under our eyes situations in which some nation states implement their relations in a spirit of opposition rather than cooperation. Furthermore, it should be noted that the frontiers of States do not always coincide with demarcations of homogeneous populations and that many tensions come from an excessive claim of sovereignty on the part of States, often precisely in areas where they are no longer able to act effectively to protect the common good.
Both in the Encyclical Laudato si ' and in the Address to the Members of the Diplomatic Corps this year, I drew attention to the global challenges facing humanity, such as integral development, peace, care for the common home , climate change, poverty, war, migration, human trafficking, organ trafficking, protection of the common good, new forms of slavery.
St. Thomas has a beautiful notion of what a people is: "Like the Seine it is not a river determined by the flowing water, but by a precise origin and riverbed, so that it is always considered the same river, although the flowing water is different, so a people is the same not for the identity of a soul or of men, but for the identity of the territory, or even more, of the laws and the way of life, as it says Aristotle in the third book of Politics "( Spiritual Creatures, to. 9, ad 10). The Church has always urged the love of its people, of their homeland, to respect the treasure of the various cultural expressions, customs and habits and the right ways of living rooted in peoples. At the same time, the Church has warned people, peoples and governments about the deviations of this attachment when it concerns the exclusion and hatred of others, when it becomes conflict nationalism that raises walls, indeed even racism or anti-Semitism. The Church observes with concern the re-emergence, almost everywhere in the world, of aggressive currents towards foreigners, especially immigrants, as well as that growing nationalism that neglects the common good. Thus there is the risk of compromising already established forms of international cooperation,
It is a common doctrine that the State is at the service of the person and of the natural groupings of people such as the family, the cultural group, the nation as an expression of the will and the profound customs of a people, the common good and peace. Too often, however, states are enslaved to the interests of a dominant group, mostly for reasons of economic profit, which oppresses, among others, the ethnic, linguistic or religious minorities that are in their territory.
In this perspective, for example, the way in which a nation welcomes migrants reveals its vision of human dignity and its relationship with humanity. Every human person is a member of humanity and has the same dignity. When a person or family is forced to leave their land, they must be welcomed with humanity. I have said many times that our obligations towards migrants are based on four verbs: welcoming, protecting, promoting and integratingThe migrant is not a threat to the culture, customs and values ​​of the receiving nation. He too has a duty to integrate into the receiving nation. Integrating does not mean assimilating, but sharing the kind of life of his new homeland, while remaining himself as a person, the bearer of his own biographical story. In this way, the migrant can present himself and be recognized as an opportunity to enrich the people who integrate him. It is the task of public authority to protect migrants and to regulate migratory flows with the virtue of prudence, as well as to promote reception so that local populations are trained and encouraged to consciously participate in the integrating process of migrants who are welcomed.
Even the migration issue, which is a permanent feature of human history, revives the reflection on the nature of the national state. All nations are the result of the integration of successive waves of people or groups of migrants and tend to be images of humanity's diversity while being united by values, common cultural resources and healthy customs. A state that arouses the nationalistic sentiments of its people against other nations or groups of people would fail in its mission. We know from history where they lead similar detours; I am thinking of the Europe of the last century.
The nation state cannot be considered as an absolute, as an island with respect to the surrounding context. In the current situation of globalization not only of the economy but also of technological and cultural exchanges, the national state is no longer able to procure the common good of its populations alone. The common good has become global and nations must associate for their own benefit. When a supranational common good is clearly identified, it is necessary to have a special authority legally and concordantly constituted capable of facilitating its implementation. We think of the great contemporary challenges of climate change, new forms of slavery and peace.
While, according to the principle of subsidiarity, individual nations must be given the power to operate as far as they can, on the other hand, groups of neighboring nations - as is already the case - can strengthen their cooperation by attributing the exercise of certain functions and services to intergovernmental institutions that manage their common interests. It is to be hoped that, for example, in Europe the awareness of the benefits brought by this path of rapprochement and harmony between the peoples undertaken after the Second World War will not be lost. In Latin America, on the other hand, Simón Bolivar urged the leaders of his time to forge the dream of a Great Fatherland, which knows and can welcome, respect, embrace and develop the wealth of every people.
Humanity would thus avoid the threat of resorting to armed conflicts whenever a dispute arises between national states, as well as avoiding the danger of economic and ideological colonization of the superpowers, avoiding the oppression of the strongest over the weakest, paying attention to the global dimension without losing sight of the local, national and regional dimension. Faced with the design of a globalization imagined as "spherical", which levels differences and suffocates localization, it is easy for both nationalisms and hegemonic imperialisms to re-emerge. In order for globalization to be of benefit to all, we must think about implementing a "multifaceted" form, supporting a healthy struggle for mutual recognition between the collective identity of each people and nation and globalization itself,
The multilateral instances were created in the hope of being able to replace the logic of revenge, the logic of domination, oppression and conflict with that of dialogue, mediation, compromise, harmony and the awareness of belonging to the same humanity in the common home . Certainly, these bodies must ensure that states are effectively represented, with equal rights and duties, in order to avoid the growing hegemony of powers and interest groups that impose their own visions and ideas, as well as new forms of ideological colonization, often disrespectful of the identity, customs and habits, dignity and sensitivity of the peoples concerned. The emergence of these trends is weakening the multilateral system,
I encourage you to persevere in the search for processes to overcome what divides nations and to propose new paths of cooperation, especially with regard to the new challenges of climate change and new forms of slavery, as well as that excellent social good which is peace. Unfortunately, today the season of multilateral nuclear disarmament appears outdated and does not stir the political conscience of nations that possess atomic weapons. Indeed, a new season of disquieting nuclear confrontation seems to open up, because it erases the progress of the recent past and multiplies the risk of wars, also due to the possible malfunctioning of highly advanced technologies that are always subject to the imponderable natural and human. If, now, not only on earth but also in space will offensive and defensive nuclear weapons be placed,
Therefore, the State is called to greater responsibility. While maintaining the characteristics of independence and sovereignty and continuing to pursue the good of its population, today it is its task to participate in building the common good of humanity, a necessary and essential element for the world balance. This universal common good, in turn, must acquire a more pronounced juridical value at international level. I certainly do not think of a universalism or a generic internationalism that neglects the identity of individual peoples: this, in fact, must always be valued as a unique and indispensable contribution to the larger harmonic design.
Dear friends, as inhabitants of our time, Christians and academics of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences , I ask you to collaborate with me in spreading this awareness of a renewed international solidarity with respect for human dignity, the common good, respect for the planet and for the supreme good of peace.
I bless you all, I bless your work and your initiatives. I accompany you with my prayer, and you too, please do not forget to pray for me. Thank you!

Question: "Does the Bible prophesy a one-world government and a one-world currency in the end times?"

Answer: The Bible does not use the phrase “one-world government” or “one-world currency” in referring to the end times. It does, however, provide ample evidence to enable us to draw the conclusion that both will exist under the rule of the Antichrist in the last days. 

In his apocalyptic vision in the Book of Revelation, the Apostle John sees the “beast,” also called the Antichrist, rising out of the sea having seven heads and ten horns (Revelation 13:1). Combining this vision with Daniel’s similar one (Daniel 7:16-24), we can conclude that some sort of world system will be inaugurated by the beast, the most powerful “horn,” who will defeat the other nine and will begin to wage war against Christians. The ten-nation confederacy is also seen in Daniel’s image of the statue in Daniel 2:41-42, where he pictures the final world government consisting of ten entities represented by the ten toes of the statue. Whoever the ten are and however they come to power, Scripture is clear that the beast will either destroy them or reduce their power to nothing more than figureheads. In the end, they will do his bidding.

John goes on to describe the ruler of this vast empire as having power and great authority, given to him by Satan himself (Revelation 13:2), being followed by and receiving worship from “all the world” (13:3-4), and having authority over “every tribe, people, language and nation” (13:7). From this description, it is logical to assume that this person is the leader of a one-world government which is recognized as sovereign over all other governments. It’s hard to imagine how such diverse systems of government as are in power today would willingly subjugate themselves to a single ruler, and there are many theories on the subject. A logical conclusion is that the disasters and plagues described in Revelation as the seal and trumpet judgments (chapters 6-11) will be so devastating and create such a monumental global crisis that people will embrace anything and anyone who promises to give them relief. 

Once entrenched in power, the beast (Antichrist) and the power behind him (Satan) will move to establish absolute control over all peoples of the earth to accomplish their true end, the worship Satan has been seeking ever since being thrown out of heaven (Isaiah 14:12-14). One way they will accomplish this is by controlling all commerce, and this is where the idea of a one-world currency comes in. Revelation 13:16-17describes some sort of satanic mark which will be required in order to buy and sell. This means anyone who refuses the mark will be unable to buy food, clothing or other necessities of life. No doubt the vast majority of people in the world will succumb to the mark simply to survive. Again, verse 16 makes it clear that this will be a universal system of control where everyone, rich and poor, great and small, will bear the mark on their hand or forehead. There is a great deal of speculation as to how exactly this mark will be affixed, but the technologies that are available right now could accomplish it very easily.

Those who are left behind after the Rapture of the Church will be faced with an excruciating choice—accept the mark of the beast in order to survive or face starvation and horrific persecution by the Antichrist and his followers. But those who come to Christ during this time, those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life (Revelation 13:8), will choose to endure, even to martyrdom.

SOMALI MUSLIMS DEMAND SPECIAL PRIVILEGES AT AMAZON

SOMALI MUSLIMS DEMAND SPECIAL PRIVILEGES 
AT AMAZON
BY DANIEL GREENFIELD
SEE: https://www.jihadwatch.org/2019/05/somali-muslims-demand-special-privileges-at-amazonrepublished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:
Amazon is about to pay the price for its politics.
Working conditions for Amazon warehouse workers are notoriously miserable with employees urinating in cups and passing out from heatstroke. But while American employees can be abused this way, Somali Muslim migrants have special privileges.
Amazon recruited in Little Mogadishu. It’s going to pay the price.
Three Somali women working for Amazon near Minneapolis have accused the company of creating a hostile environment for Muslim workers and of retaliating against them for protesting their work conditions, according to a filing submitted this week to federal regulators.
In a letter with the filing, Muslim Advocates, a nonprofit legal organization representing the women, asked the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to investigate what they argue are “systemic violations” of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The law prohibits employment discrimination based on religion, among other things.
The issue at stake, as usual, is prayer space and prayer times.
Amazon warehouse workers urinate in cups because they don’t have enough time to use the bathroom and make their quota.
So it’s clearly not discrimination. But the facts don’t matter. They never do.
In 2016, when Amazon opened a major fulfillment center in Shakopee, a suburb of Minneapolis, it recruited heavily from the region’s large immigrant population amid low unemployment. At one point it ran buses to the warehouse from a Minneapolis neighborhood known as Little Mogadishu.
For more than a year, the Awood Center, a nonprofit focused on helping East African workers, has organized the employees around their concerns about the pace of work, accommodations for prayers and what they see as little opportunity for advancement to management. Awood has received funding from grants as well as the Service Employees International Union.
The federal complaint is the latest escalation in an almost yearlong dispute between Amazon and East African workers in the area, which has one of the most organized groups of Amazon warehouse employees in the country.
It’s ironic that Amazon, whose boss owns the pro-Brotherhood Washington Post (this story notably appeared in the New York Times, not the Post) has been caught up in this.
As so many useful infidels have found out, the crocodile may not eat you last.
Amazon gives the workers paid breaks to pray up to 20 minutes, as required by state law, but the employees are still responsible for maintaining the same “rate,” or how many items they must pack in an hour. Ms. Alfred said workers could take longer prayer breaks without pay, for which productivity expectations would be adjusted.
Missing the rate can lead to write-ups and firing. The women said they and other Muslim workers feared taking time to pray, making it a “hostile environment” to be Muslim.
The dead Amazon warehouse workers, none of whom were Somali Muslims, could not be reached for comment about their infidel privilege.

STEM SCHOOL SHOOTER HATED CHRISTIANS, TRUMP

STEM School Shooter Hated Christians, Trump
STEM SCHOOL SHOOTER HATED CHRISTIANS, TRUMP

Motivation behind rampage remains unknown

BY PAUL JOSEPH WATSON
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:
18-year-old Devon Erickson, who killed one student and injured seven more during a shooting at a public charter school in Colorado, previously posted on social media about his hatred for Christians and President Trump.
Erickson and a younger accomplice walked into the STEM School Highlands Ranch yesterday and opened fire on students in two classrooms.
While the motivation behind the attack remains unknown, according to Heavy, Erickson was a leftist who despised Christians and opposed Donald Trump.
“You know what I hate? All these Christians who hate gays, yet in the bible, it says in Deuteronomy 17:12-13, if someone doesn’t do what their priest tells them to do, they are supposed to die. It has plenty of crazy stuff like that. But all they get out of it is ‘ewwwwww gays,’” Erickson wrote on Facebook two years ago.
He also shared a video of comedian Seth Meyers attacking Donald Trump and another post praising Barack Obama.
The shooter appeared to be into the goth or grunge aesthetic, writing “I’m covered in ink and addicted to pain.”
It shouldn’t matter what political ideology a school shooter has unless that ideology was the motivation behind the rampage.
However, whenever such a tragedy occurs, the left rushes to find the gunman’s Facebook page in an effort to blame conservatives.
When a photo emerged of Parkland shooter Nikolas Cruz wearing a MAGA hat, the massacre was politically weaponized.
Yesterday’s STEM School shooting serves as a reminder that there are lunatics on both fringes of the political spectrum and their actions shouldn’t be cited to demonize innocent people.

Quotes from each individual show their hatred for the Constitution and American rights

Gun control talking points from 2020 Democrat candidates are filled with vague statements and non-specific terminology used to confuse voters who are uneducated when it comes to firearms and gun culture.
For example, “high-capacity magazines,” “assault weapons” and “common sense” gun control are buzzwords frequently thrown out by Democrat politicians to demonize firearms.
Remember, when a Democrat says “assault weapons” or “weapons of war,” they mean semiautomatic weapons which include everything from AR-15s to hunting rifles and handguns.
These politicians ignore the reality that a ban on semiautomatic weapons would be unsuccessful and inevitably result in a civil war.
“Nobody’s coming to take your guns” has never sounded more stupid.
Joe Biden:
The former Vice President told a voter the hero who shot a mass murderer in Sutherland Springs, Texas shouldn’t have been able to carry his AR-15 used to stop the criminal.
Below is video proof of Biden’s flip-flop on the Second Amendment, including his infamous “you don’t need an AR-15” quote:
“Today, once again, it’s time for our political system to catch up with the overwhelming majority of the American people who want background checks, who want to keep assault weapons off our streets and out of the hands of people who have no business firing them…” Biden said after the 2015 Colorado Springs shooting.
In the 1990s, he voted for the 1994 ban on modern multi-purpose semiautomatic firearms, for the Brady Act, and for Frank Lautenberg’s effort to destroy gun shows. He voted against the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act in both 2004 and 2005. In 2004, he ranted against the legislation, intended to stop the back-door effort at gun control that was being carried out by big-city mayors.
Tuesday, Biden discussed “gun violence” with a Las Vegas crowd, saying, “There’s a Second Amendment but there’s a rational way to deal with the Second Amendment.”
Bernie Sanders:
The Democratic Socialist from Vermont also wants to ban semiautomatic weapons and magazines that hold over 10 rounds.
He has an “F” rating from the NRA and calls for “a federal ban on assault weapons” on his FeelTheBern website.
Eric Swalwell:
Before entering the 2020 presidential race, Swalwell threatened to use nuclear weapons against gun owners who refuse to turn in their guns.
In a hypothetical discussion about the inevitable civil war that would break out if the government were to attempt to seize firearms from citizens, Swalwell said, “And it would be a short war my friend. The government has nukes. Too many of them. But they’re legit…”
Now, Swalwell’s website brags, “I’m the only candidate calling for a mandatory national ban and buyback of military-style semiautomatic assault weapons.”
CNN’s Jake Tapper asked Swalwell, “What’s the punishment for people who don’t hand in their guns? Do they go to jail?”
“Well, Jake, they would, but I also offer an alternative, which would be to keep them at a hunting club or a shooting range,” he responded.
Cory Booker:
Booker has announced what his campaign calls “the most sweeping gun violence prevention plan ever put forth by a presidential candidate.”
The proposal would limit individual purchases of firearms to one per month and legislate for an all-out ban on so-called “assault weapons” and “high-capacity” magazines.
Americans who refuse to turn in their guns would be jailed according to Booker.
Pete Buttigieg:
“Mayor Pete” supports multiple gun control policies, but claims they are “compatible with the Second Amendment.”
He’s a member of a Michael Bloomberg gun control group and supports criminalizing private gun sales via universal background checks.
According to Buttigieg, if he’s elected an “assault rifle” ban would be “on the table.”
Buttigieg echoed the Democrat talking point that certain “weapons of war” don’t belong in American streets, citing his military background as evidence of his knowledge of the Second Amendment.
“The Second Amendment says you cannot have restrictions on this? That’s just not how freedom works,” he told a Brooklyn crowd.
Julian Castro:
Castro has promoted renewing the “assault weapons” ban, gun buybacks and limiting “high-capacity” magazines.
“I believe that Senator Feinstein has it right with regard to the assault weapons ban, that it ought to be reintroduced,” he said.
Tulsi Gabbard:
Hawaii U.S. Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard’s website brags about her record on gun control:
“She has long called for reinstating a federal ban on military-style assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, requiring comprehensive pre-purchase background checks, closing the gun-show loophole, and making sure that terrorists are not allowed to buy guns. Tulsi has an F-rating from the NRA, a 0% rating by the Hawaii Rifle Association…”
She also sponsored a bill banning “bump stocks.”
Following the tragic shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, Gabbard called for “common sense gun safety legislation.”
Kirsten Gillibrand:
Gillibrand supports an “assault weapons” ban, a “high-capacity” magazine ban and opposes a national concealed carry policy.
In the following interview, Gillibrand shakes her head at the fact she used to have an “A” rating from the NRA and brags that she now proudly holds an “F”.
“We have to address that we have weapons of war on our streets today,” she said during a speech last year.
Kamala Harris:
Harris has brazenly claimed if Congress doesn’t act within her first 100 days in office, she’ll mandate gun control measures via executive order.
These gun control measures would include the vague “assault weapons” ban, along with other typical Democrat measures such as stronger background checks, etc.
“Upon being elected, I will give the United States Congress 100 days to get their act together and have the courage to pass reasonable gun safety laws. And if they fail to do it, then I will take executive action,” she said at a CNN Town Hall.
Beto O’Rourke:
The Texas Democrat is one of the most outspoken gun control candidates in the 2020 field.
He supports magazine size-limits, restrictions on semiautomatic weapons and opposes a national concealed carry policy.
Following the synagogue shooting in Poway, California, Beto used the tragedy to push for a ban on semiautomatic rifles.
Elizabeth Warren:
Warren is in favor of a national ban on magazines capable of holding more than ten rounds, banning “assault rifles” and even a crackdown on handguns.
Below is a video of Warren regurgitating Democrat talking points such as “weapons of war don’t belong in our streets.”
See Warren make her case for stricter gun laws in this PSA:
She once claimed the NRA “owns Congress,” while talking with a TMZ reporter.
Andrew Yang:
Yang says citizens shouldn’t be able to own “assault weapons,” wants to fine gun manufacturers $1 million each time a person is killed by one of their weapons and is pushing for stricter licenses and education classes for gun owners.
On his website, Yang proposes forced purchases of a gun locker, or trigger lock for each firearm owned.
John Delaney:
Delaney recently tweeted support for a ban on most semiautomatic weapons and “assault rifles,” similar to legislation passed in New Zealand following the Christchurch attack.
Michael Bennet:
Bennet supports stronger background checks, and as a Colorado Senator, he closed the “gun show loophole,” voted YES on banning high-capacity magazines of over 10 bullets and says AR-15s are used “all the time” by mass murderers.
John Hickenlooper:
During his time as Governor of Colorado, Hickenlooper signed a gun control billrequiring background checks for private and online gun sales and banning ammunition magazines holding more than 15 rounds.
Hickenlooper’s campaign website claims he’ll “fight the NRA,” who gave him an “F” rating.
He has also supported former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s gun control group.
During a CBS This Morning interview, Hickenlooper admitted he would take national action “immediately.”
Sneakier than some 2020 Dems, Hickenlooper explains how he’d slowly roll out small gun control measures to build up to something larger, like an “assault weapons” ban.
Jay Inslee:
Known for being the Democrat who decided to make Climate Change his #1 issue, Inslee is also no friend of the Second Amendment with an “F” rating from the NRA.
Tuesday, Inslee passed multiple gun laws in his home state of Washington where he currently serves as Governor.
One of the newly-passed laws bans 3D-printed firearms, and another bans “people with a history of violence” from owning guns.
Inslee is opposed to armed teachers in schools, saying, “our teachers don’t want to be armed.”
In 2018, Inslee passed a law banning bump stocks in Washington.
Amy Klobuchar:
Klobuchar supports extending the “assault weapons” ban, which means no more semiautomatic rifles, and voted to ban magazines that hold over 10 rounds.
She also received an “F” rating by the NRA, who condemned her for using the Aurora shooting to push for stricter gun control.
Klobuchar tweeted support for New Zealand’s decision to ban nearly every semiautomatic weapon as a knee-jerk reaction to the Christchurch attack.
Wayne Messam:
Messam, Mayor of Mirimar, Florida, is running on a platform of gun control and getting rid of student debt.
In an interview with Citylab, Messam supported banning semiautomatic rifles:
“15 minutes up the road from Miramar is Parkland. In that mass shooting, the type of gun that was used was a military-style rifle that is designed to just create the complete annihilation of life. Those type of guns should not be acceptable.”
Seth Moulton:
Moulton, a military veteran, uses his background to act like an expert on the Second Amendment, saying, “I know assault rifles. I carried one in Iraq.”
He also supported legislation to ban bump stocks and agreed with banning .223 rifle ammunition during an interview with CNN.
Watch below as Moulton says Americans don’t need “military assault weapon” or “high-capacity” magazines to hunt.
Tim Ryan:
The Democrat Rep. from Ohio once had an “A” rating from the NRA and decided to give the $20,000 he received from the group’s political action committee to gun safety organizations.
Following the Vegas shooting, Ryan called for a ban on bump stocks and for stricter background checks on semiautomatic rifles.
Below is an excerpt of a Washington Post article where Ryan calls for restrictions on semiautomatic weapons.
Ryan called for a ban on semiautomatic rifles in an interview with CNBC, saying, “We have to get these weapons of war off the street.”
Marianne Williamson:
On her website, Williamson promotes “eliminating the sale of assault rifles and semi-automatic weapons and banning bump stocks and high capacity magazines.”
She would also mandate child safety locks on all guns.
Williamson claimed the current fight for gun rights in America “has nothing to do with the Second Amendment,” during a CNN Town Hall.
This list proves there isn’t a single Democrat candidate who is friendly to the Second Amendment no matter how many times they claim to support it.

BORDER CRISIS CAUSES FEDS TO SHUT DOWN CHECKPOINTS; CARTELS OVERRUN NEW MEXICO COUNTY

BORDER CRISIS CAUSES FEDS TO SHUT DOWN CHECKPOINTS; CARTELS OVERRUN 
NEW MEXICO COUNTY 
BY WARREN MASS
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:
As the worsening border crisis required the overworked U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency to close inspection facilities on highways between the Mexican border and Alamogordo, New Mexico, so they could send more agents to El Paso to help stem the tide of illegal aliens crossing the border, it left Otero County (of which Alamogordo is the county seat) undefended.
With the CBP stations closed down, members of drug cartels and human traffickers from south of the border have infiltrated Otero County, creating a crisis so bad that county commissioners declared a state of emergency.
“It’s a green light for the cartels when border checkpoints are down,” Otero County Sheriff David Black told the New York Post.
Black said his deputies have had to shift their focus from traditional law-enforcement duties to apprehending drug smugglers. “I’ve had to redeploy my guys,” Black told a Post reporter who visited in the Otero County Sheriff’s Office. He told the reporter that his deputies seized $60,000 worth of illicit drugs in April. 
The Post also interviewed Kyle Williamson, the Drug Enforcement Agency’s special agent in charge of the El Paso Division, responsible for all of New Mexico and west Texas. 
“We’ve lost our second line of enforcement,” said Williamson, who said the overwhelming crisis at the border with Mexico is allowing drug traffickers to more easily bring their illicit cargo north.
“Are cartels capitalizing on the confusion at the border? Yes, they are!” Williamson told the Post.“They are using it as a cover to move drugs, which are coming through legal ports of entry. If your drugs are coming through legal ports of entry, you need lines of defense.”
Williamson said his team recently seized 44 pounds of fentanyl — “enough to wipe out all of New Mexico, Texas and the entire state of Chihuahua.”
He told the reporter that most of the drugs are being trafficked by a gang known as Barrio Aztecas, the enforcement arm of the Juarez Cartel.
“They are an incredibly violent gang,” he said, adding that they have between 2,000 and 2,200 members.
The reporter also quoted Couy Griffin, chairman of Otero County's Board of Commissioners.
“We have got to secure our border, period," Griffin told the Post.
Both Black and Griffin were critical of New Mexico's Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, who recently withdrew 118 National Guard troops from the southern border. Griffin, a Democrat, made the move largely as an act of defiance against President Trump, whose efforts to secure the border she described as a “charade of fear mongering.”
Griffin did not hesitate to criticize Grisham.
“Unfortunately, we have a governor who is so interested in politics that she has lost touch with the people of this county,” she told the newspaper. “We have a governor who continues to claim that there is no crisis at the border.”
An article posted by The New American May 7 noted that it had just been a very busy weekend for both Border Patrol agents and smugglers — who were caught moving both people and more than $1 million in illegal drugs.

CONVERSE LAUNCHES LGBT SHOE LINE 
FEATURING PRETEEN “DRAG KID”~
CHILD USED FOR WOKE MARKETING CAMPAIGN
BY DAN LYMAN

Converse has announced the release of a new line of shoes celebrating LGBT culture alongside a marketing campaign featuring characters of various sexual orientations, including an 11-year-old ‘drag kid’ who goes by the stage name ‘Desmond Is Amazing.’
“We’re happy to launch our Pride Collection, partnering with six individuals connected to the LGBTQ+ community who show the power of expressing one’s true self,” the apparel company tweeted on Monday.
Desmond is highlighted on the Converse website wearing a flamboyant outfit and make-up, striking a dramatic dance pose alongside a quote stating, “There is no normal.”
A brief bio describes him as a “drag kid / lgbtq+ advocate.”
Desmond Napoles has autism, according to his parents, who say that his ‘drag performances’ help him to cope with his disability.
He began to garner attention in 2015 after dancing in the NYC Pride Parade, and amid rising popularity on social media, Napoles was invited to appear on Good Morning America, where he danced for the audience and was paid a visit from three adult drag queens.
In late 2018, disturbing video footage surfaced of Desmond performing at gay bars in Brooklyn and San Francisco, while grown men threw bills at him, and shortly afterwards, journalists discovered Desmond had appeared in a interview with infamous 90s “club kid” Michael Alig, who had spent 17 years in jail for the killing and dismemberment of a fellow clubber and drug dealer.
“On Alig’s show ‘Pee-ew!’ 10-year-old Desmond sat between Alig and Alig’s fellow ‘Club Kid’ Ernie Glam, making stilted conversation about the child’s favorite television shows, ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ and ‘Dragula,'” LifeSite reports. “Over their heads was a painting of a cartoon child skipping rope over the word ‘Rohypnol.’ Rohypnol is a well-known date rape drug often used to incapacitate victims marked for sexual assault.”
Some have offered speculation based on evidence and comments made by Desmond’s parents that they may even use proceeds he generates to help support the family.
Owen Shroyer reports that activists dressed as clowns interrupted a local ‘drag queen story hour’ event in New Orleans to draw attention to the absurdity of the situation. As a consequence, they were promptly kicked out of the event.

On the heels of NewsGuard, which blacklisted the Drudge Report and other conservative sites

Not long after introducing the controversial browser plugin ‘NewsGuard,’ Microsoft is pushing voting software called ‘ElectionGuard’ which the company claims will “modernize” elections.
Microsoft says the software is intended to “modernize all of the election infrastructure everywhere in the world,” with early prototypes ready for the United States’ 2020 elections.
“One election official who has been in informal conversations with the ElectionGuard project leaders is Dean Logan, who runs elections for Los Angeles County, the nation’s most populous, and is building an open-source voting system for it,” reported the AP.
The software is being offered as a stand-alone product that can also be plugged into existing election systems.
“It can be used with a ballot-marking device. It can be used with an optical scanner, on hand-marked paper ballots,” said Microsoft’s senior cryptographer Josh Benaloh.
The name ‘ElectionGuard’ is not lost on critics of ‘NewsGuard,’ Microsoft’s browser plug-in which blacklisted the Drudge Report and other conservative-leaning web sites while giving nearly every single establishment site a passing grade.
“Moreover, what does it say when NewsGuard gives every single establishment media site (every single one!) a passing grade when those are the sites Drudge links most often?” Breitbart asked. “What this tells us is that NewsGuard is not interested in accuracy, but rather how terrified this latest establishment media weed is of a popular site that operates outside the establishment media’s filter.”
NewsGuard is run by a stable of establishment news figures as well as former personnel of the Clinton, Obama and Bush administrations.

SPARTACUS CORY BOOKER’S OUTRAGEOUS GUN CONTROL SCHEME IGNORES BASIC SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS~BELIEVES AMERICANS SHOULD BE JAILED IF THEY REFUSE TO GIVE UP GUNS

SPARTACUS CORY BOOKER’S OUTRAGEOUS 
GUN CONTROL SCHEME IGNORES 
BASIC SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS 
BY ALAN GOTTLIEB
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:
BELLEVUE, WA – -(AmmoLand.com)- Democrat presidential aspirant Cory Booker’s far-ranging gun control scheme that calls for five-year licensing, invasive background checks, bans on semiautomatic rifles and original capacity magazines and more amounts to an outrageous plan to turn the Second Amendment right into a government-regulated privilege, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today.
“With this proposal, Booker isn’t just one of those anti-gun politicians who claims to ‘support the Second Amendment…but’,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb, “he’s literally throwing a constitutionally-enumerated right into the trash, and he knows it. For a person hoping to be elected to the highest office in the land to advocate such an outrageous proposal isn’t just disappointing, it is disturbing.”
Booker’s plan calls for licensing gun owners on a five-year basis. He would repeal the Lawful Commerce in Arms Act to expose firearms manufacturers to costly junk lawsuits and other legal harassment. He would resurrect the failed one-gun-a-month mandate that never prevented a single crime when it was tried, and later repealed, in South Carolina and Virginia. The Washington, D.C. law was struck down by a federal appeals court in 2015.
The scheme calls for Microstamping, a technology that has not prevented or solved any crime, and would make firearms prohibitively expensive for no discernable benefit. He would push for so-called “universal background checks” that criminals already ignore, and which might actually encourage more gun shop burglaries, thefts from private homes or police cars, and other illegal gun trafficking.
“Proposals like this underscore why American gun owners are increasingly distrustful of all Democrats,” Gottlieb observed. “Booker’s plan is demagoguery on steroids, and it once again targets the wrong people. He doesn’t want to crack down on criminals, he wants to create new ones with the stroke of a pen.
“Booker’s brainstorm is nothing more than a combination of every pie-in-the-sky idea on the gun control wish list,” Gottlieb said. “While his plan is disturbing, what is even more alarming is that not one other Democrat now in the race denounced the plan. If they all agree with Booker, they need to admit it now so voters realize they are all willing to trample on the Bill of Rights.”
Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear ArmsWith more than 650,000 members and supporters nationwide, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (www.ccrkba.org) is one of the nation's premier gun rights organizations. As a non-profit organization, the Citizens Committee is dedicated to preserving firearms freedoms through active lobbying of elected officials and facilitating grass-roots organization of gun rights activists in local communities throughout the United States.

Booker Goes Bonkers with Plan to Regulate 2A as Privilege

BY DAVE WORKMAN
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:

Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) has just launched a plan to combat violent crime that essentially treats the right to keep and bear arms like a regulated privilege. (Screen snip, YouTube, CNN)
U.S.A. –-(Ammoland.com)- Democrat presidential hopeful Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey has released a plan to combat so-called “gun violence” by essentially relegating the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms to the level of a privilege that is strictly regulated by the government, including licensing every five years, fingerprinting, and limiting handgun purchases to one per month.
His plan would also repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) so the door would be opened for harassment lawsuits against firearms manufacturers, holding them responsible for crimes committed by third parties, and for illegal gun trafficking.
Under Booker’s plan, so-called “universal background checks” would be required for all firearms transfers. Microstamping would be mandated, even though the technology would be prohibitively expensive.
“Microstamping is technology that allows law enforcement to identify the source of ammunition used in crimes by making a shell casing traceable to the specific gun that fired the round. Unfortunately, in many cases, there is little evidence left behind at crime scenes, resulting in a homicide ‘clearance rate' of just 62 percent. Microstamping technology would allow law enforcement to trace crime guns as soon as a shell casing is found, helping to prevent future crimes from occurring.” —Cory Booker website “Cory’s Plan to end The Gun Violence Epidemic”
Firearms experts have already explained that this scheme would not work in cases where criminals use revolvers that do not leave spent shell casings at crime scenes.
Quoted by the New York Times, Booker promised, “I am going to come at this likefolks have never seen before.”
Except that “folks” have seen it before, every time an extremist gun control package is thrown at the wall to see what sticks.

(Snip, headline from Booker's website)
Reaction from gun owners on social media began almost immediately after Booker’s proposal was unveiled, and it is negative. One rights activist, responding to the licensing proposal, stated, “I already have one (a license). It’s called the Second Amendment.”
But under Booker’s proposal, the right to keep and bear arms would be subject to a five-year renewable license. The plan would require the following, according to a Booker website:
“Individuals could seek a gun license at a designated local office, widely available in urban and rural areas, similar to applying for or renewing a passport. They would submit fingerprints, provide basic background information, and demonstrate completion of a certified gun safety course.”—Cory Booker website “Cory’s Plan to end The Gun Violence Epidemic”
Booker’s plan smacks of the same extremism that inspired Washington State Initiative 1639 last fall, and legislation introduced in the state earlier this year by anti-gun Seattle-area Democrats in the State Legislature. The training requirement was likened to an unconstitutional literacy test by the Washington State Law Enforcement Firearms Instructors Association, which opposed the gun control initiative last year. I-1639 passed, but the training requirement for getting a state concealed pistol license died in the Legislature with proponents suggesting they would be back again in 2020.

Red Flag Gun Grab LawsHis plan supports “Extreme Risk Protection Order” (ERPO) laws, generically called “red flag” laws that allow authorities to seize someone’s firearms without due process.
His plan supports “Extreme Risk Protection Order” (ERPO) laws, generically called “red flag” laws that allow authorities to seize someone’s firearms without due process. Increasingly, gun owners and rights activists are voicing opposition to such laws because, in order for someone to recover his/her guns, they must go to court, essentially to prove they are innocent of a crime.
Booker would ban so-called “assault weapons” and original capacity magazines. He’s talking about turning millions of gun owners into instant criminals by classifying their legal semi-auto firearms and cartridge magazines as contraband.
The one-handgun-a-month scheme has been tried before. It’s just another way of regulating gun ownership for law-abiding citizens, but didn’t prevent criminals from obtaining firearms.
“Limiting bulk purchases of firearms is essential to combating gun trafficking. Under current federal law, which contains no limit on the number of firearms one can purchase, traffickers will make bulk purchases in states with weak gun laws and then resell in states with stricter rules.”—Cory Booker website “Cory’s Plan to end The Gun Violence Epidemic”
As if to underscore the fallacy Booker’s scheme, the Associated Press and KTUU Newsreported on two different gun store thefts in Washington State in recent days that netted more than 100 firearms. Ninety-eight of those guns were taken from a shop in Gorst, and another 30 were stolen from a shop in Sequim. Rewards of up to $11,000 are being offered, but the proverbial bottom line is that these guns are now in circulation, or soon will be, and not a single one of them will be transferred with a background check, license requirement or any of the other things Booker’s plan demands.

The fatal flaw in Booker’s proposal is that criminals don’t follow the law, and passing another package of laws will not bring a change.

Democrat Booker Agrees Americans Should Be Jailed If They Refuse To Give Up Guns

Presidential candidate pushing ‘the most sweeping gun control plan ever’

BY STEVE WATSON
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:
After announcing a radical gun control proposal as part of his Presidential campaign, Democrat Cory Booker expressed agreement with the notion that lawful gun owners should be ‘thrown in prison’ if they refuse to comply with “an assault weapons ban.”
Booker appeared on CNN to discuss his proposed national gun licensing program, which would require every gun owner to have a 5-year license issued at the federal level.
Booker’s plan would also limit individual purchases of firearms to one per month, and legislate for an all out ban on so called ‘assault weapons’ and high-capacity magazines.
“My plan to address gun violence is simple – we will make it harder for people who should not have a gun to get one,” Booker said.
“The process would include fingerprinting, an interview, gun safety courses, and a federal background check,” Booker also said in a statement announcing the proposal.
Booker’s campaign called the proposal “the most sweeping gun violence prevention plan ever put forth by a presidential candidate.”
When asked by CNN host Poppy Harlow if he also supports Congressman Eric Swalwell’s proposed ‘assault weapons’ ban, Booker intimated that he would not have a problem with Americans being jailed if they refused to comply.
“[Swalwell’s} proposing a buyback program where Americans who currently have those guns could sell them essentially to the government, but if they don’t, within a certain period of time, they would be prosecuted … thrown in jail, perhaps. Are you supportive of the same?” Harlow asked Booker.
“Again, we should have a law that bans these weapons, and we should have a reasonable period in which people can turn in these weapons. Right now we have a nation that allows in streets and communities like mine these weapons that should not exist,” Booker replied.
“The critical thing is, I think most Americans agree, that these weapons of war should not be on our streets.” Booker also noted.
This proposed constitutional curtailment is just one of several reasons why neither Booker nor Swalwell stand any chance of winning the Presidency.

POST OFFERING ON SANDERS’ SOVIET HONEYMOON SHOWS SOCIALIST CANDIDATE ADMIRED COMMUNIST TYRANTS

Socialism

POST OFFERING ON SANDERS’ SOVIET HONEYMOON SHOWS SOCIALIST CANDIDATE ADMIRED 
COMMUNIST TYRANTS
BY R. CORT KIRKWOOD
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:
In the chest of every liberal, the saying goes, beats the heart of a communist. If true, one wonders what type of heart is beating in the chest of presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, an open socialist whose criticism of his own country is as enthusiastic as his praise for totalitarian dictators.
Last week, the Washington Post offered an insight into Sanders’ iron commitment to socialist tyranny with a piece that went “inside” his famous honeymoon to the Soviet Union.
Conclusion: If Sanders isn’t a communist, he imitates one with surpassing skill.
Lots of Vodka The Post opened its probe into Sanders’past by describing the now-famous, or notorious, video of “bare-chested, towel-draped” Sanders, “sitting at a table lined with vodka bottles, as he sang ‘This Land Is Your Land’ to his hosts in the Soviet Union in the spring of 1988.”
And the Post reported, “as he stood on Soviet soil, Sanders, then 46 years old, criticized the cost of housing and health care in the United States, while lauding the lower prices — but not the quality — of that available in the Soviet Union. Then, at a banquet attended by about 100 people, Sanders blasted the way the United States had intervened in other countries.”
Of course, after he returned, Sanders toned down the anti-American rhetoric and offered this prescription for the American future: “Let’s take the strengths of both systems. Let’s learn from each other.”
Translation: Let’s adopt totalitarian socialism, as the Post revealed in describing the rest of Sanders’ anti-American high jinks.
Sanders, the Post noted, was a “firebrand on foreign affairs, finding much to like in socialist and communist countries,” the nice way of saying Sanders was, in a fact, a communist sympathizer trying to undermine U.S. foreign policy. He was, as a practical matter, an implacable enemy of the United States and firm friend of the Red Empire.
Cuba, Nicaragua Having gone to the Soviet Union and discovered the wonders of socialism there, Sanders then went to Nicaragua in 1985 and “hailed the revolution led by Daniel Ortega, which President Ronald Reagan opposed.”
How did the Soviet- and Cuban-backed Nicaraguan tyrant strike Sanders? “I was impressed,” Sanders said, and “I will be attacked by every editorial writer for being a dumb dope.” The word might be dupe, but anyway, R.J. Rummel has estimated that the man who so impressed Sanders led a regime responsible for upwards of 7,000 murders.
Sanders was also a big fan of Fidel Castro, the communist tyrant who wrecked a beautiful, relatively prosperous, even thriving country with the help of mass murderer Che Guevara.
Sanders, meanwhile, was so enthused by the trip that he soon began planning his next foreign venture: a visit to Cuba the following year, during his last month as mayor.
“Under Castro, enormous progress has been made in improving the lives of poor people,” Sanders said before leaving, while noting ‘enormous deficiencies’ in democratic rights. While he failed in his goal to meet Fidel Castro, he returned home with even greater praise than he had for the Soviet Union.
“I did not see a hungry child. I did not see any homeless people,” Sanders told the Burlington Free Press. While Cuba was “not a perfect society,” he said, the country “not only has free health care but very high-quality health care.... The revolution there is far deeper and more profound than I understood it to be. It really is a revolution in terms of values.”
But Sanders likely didn’t know, as Investor’s Business Daily reported when Castro went the way of all flesh, that Cuba’s vaunted healthcare system is not one but three: one with cut-rate care for paying medical tourists, one for the communist elites with top-flight care, and one for regular folks.
Sanders likely saw the facilities for Cuban elite — like mass-murderer Castro.
Those for the Cuban people, the Real Cuba website reported, “lack the most minimum requirements needed to take care of their patients,” and most are “filthy and patients have to bring their own towels, bed sheets, pillows, or they would have to lay down on dirty bare mattresses stained with blood and other body fluids.”
Sanders didn’t much care, apparently, that Castro murdered at least 73,000 Cubans, Rummel has reported, and as many as 141,000.
Sanders called his fellow Americans “intellectually lazy” for opposing socialism.

JIHAD AT THE BORDER~HOW THE BORDER CRISIS FACILITATES THE ENTRY OF TERRORISTS

JIHAD AT THE BORDER~HOW THE BORDER CRISIS FACILITATES THE ENTRY OF TERRORISTS 
BY MICHAEL CUTLER
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:

On Sunday, April 28, 2019, CBS News program, 60 Minutes reported on The Situation At The Southern Border

Here is how the 60 Minutes’ report began:
Earlier this month, President Trump placed Kevin McAleenan in charge of the Department of Homeland Security. The president fired his previous DHS chief, Kirstjen Nielsen, because he said he wanted to go in a tougher direction. As the new acting secretary, McAleenan is facing the largest wave of illegal crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border in a decade. 100,000 migrants were detained just last month. So we went to McAllen, Texas, one of the busiest sections on the border, to see for ourselves. We were surprised how many families were crossing, where they were detained and how quickly they were released. We asked Secretary McAleenan how he plans to manage the crisis and navigate what may be the most difficult job in Washington.
It is worth noting that 60 Minutes described the situation as a “crisis” a reality denied by many Democrats.
The 60 Minutes team was given access to the McAllen Border Patrol Station where, at the time, was housing 551 aliens who were being processed after they crossed into the United States.
Here is an excerpt from the 60 Minutes report:
Chief Patrol Agent Rudy Karisch says they are struggling to care for the increasing numbers of families.
Sharyn Alfonsi: What are the agents having to do to deal with this new population that's coming across?
Agent Rudy Karisch: Forty percent of my workforce right now is dedicated to the processing, to the care and feeding, to the hospital watch. So that takes that 40 percent away from their border security mission.
Thus the ability of the already beleaguered U.S. Border Patrol to secure our porous and dangerous southern border has been diminished by 40%.
Those who study history, specifically World War II know that “D-Day,” also known as “Operation Overlord” was only successful because of a diversion created by the Allies known as the “Calais Deception” that was officially labeled “Operation Fortitude.”
General George Patton was put in charge of a phantom division that consisted of inflatable tanks and trucks that from the air, created the elaborate but false illusion of a large contingent of soldiers preparing to attack Germany at the Pas-de-Calais rather than at Normandy where the attack would actually be mounted.
The Germans were thus conned into splitting up their defensive forces, leaving Normandy vulnerable to the Allies on June 6, 1944.
Today our Border Patrol and, indeed, the entire immigration system, is being inundated by huge numbers of illegal aliens forcing the Border Patrol to deploy many of its agents to assignment that remove them from the primary mission of securing vast stretches of unsecured border.
Consequently, stretches of our southern border suffer a lack of resources to prevent the un-inspected entry of aliens and like narcotics and other contraband, including potentially weapons.
While the media focuses on “migrant families” seeking entry to flee poverty and violence in their home countries, they ignore that not all families are actually families but may be committing fraud.  In fact, DHS is now sending ICE agents to the border who have expertise in identifying fraud documents because children are being, in a manner of speaking, “re-cycled” arriving at the border with adults who claim to be their parents.  Once released in the United States, the children are sent back to Mexico where they then return to the border with another set of “parents" who have no relationship to them.
To counter this horrific practice, as the New York Post reported on April 27, 2018, Border Patrol begins fingerprinting migrant children.
Additionally aliens from all over the world, not just from Latin America have been entering the United States without inspection along the dangerous southern border, all too many from “Special Interest Countries,” that is to say countries that are associated with radical Islamist terrorism.
Case in point: On April 30, 2019 the Justice Department issued a press release, Jordanian National Pleads Guilty to Conspiracy to Bring Aliens into the United States, which noted that in 2017 the smuggler smuggled aliens from Yemen, a “Special Interest Country” into the United States without inspection from Monterrey, Mexico to Piedras Negras in Texas.
As I reported in a previous article, on January 29, 2019 the Senate Intelligence Committee conducted a hearing on Worldwide Threats that was predicated the "World-Wide Threat Assessment," that was issued by Daniel Coats, the Director of the Office of National Intelligence, which oversees the U.S. intelligence community.  Additional witness included the heads of the FBI, CIA and other agencies.
The threat assessment warned about the dangers posed by transnational gangs such as MS-13 and went on to report:
TRANSNATIONAL ORGANIZED CRIME
Global transnational criminal organizations and networks will threaten US interests and allies by trafficking drugs, exerting malign influence in weak states, threatening critical infrastructure, orchestrating human trafficking, and undermining legitimate economic activity.
Drug Trafficking
The foreign drug threat will pose continued risks to US public health and safety and will present a range of threats to US national security interests in the coming year. Violent Mexican traffickers, such as members of the Sinaloa Cartel and New Generation Jalisco Cartel, remain key to the movement of illicit drugs to the United States, including heroin, methamphetamine, fentanyl, and cannabis from Mexico, as well as cocaine from Colombia. Chinese synthetic drug suppliers dominate US-bound movements of so- called designer drugs, including synthetic marijuana, and probably ship the majority of US fentanyl, when adjusted for purity.
On December 9, 2018 The Hill, posted an article, “Iran: US sanctions will open doors to ‘drugs, refugees and bombs and assassination’ in west.”
The article focused on the remarks of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani made on December 8, 2018 at what was described as an “Anti-terrorism event” in Tehran.  Rouhani said that if nations continued to adhere to the boycott against Iran that was reimposed by President Trump over the bogus Iranian nuclear deal that had been negotiated by the Obama administration, that Iran would not be able to continue its purported efforts to combat drug trafficking.
Rouhani stated, “I warn all those who boycott, that if our abilities in fighting drugs and terrorism in their origins is undermined, you will not be able to survive the debris of drugs, refugees and bombs and assassination.”
On April 17, 2018 the House Committee on Homeland Security, Counterterrorism and Intelligence Subcommittee, conducted a hearing on the topic, "State Sponsors Of Terrorism: An Examination Of Iran’s Global Terrorism Network."
The prepared testimony of one of the witnesses, Dr. Emanuele Ottolenghi of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, included this alarming excerpt:
In recent years, Hezbollah’s Latin American networks have also increasingly cooperated with violent drug cartels and criminal syndicates, often with the assistance of local corrupt political elites….
This toxic crime-terror nexus is fueling both the rising threat of global jihadism and the collapse of law and order across Latin America that is helping drive drugs and people northward into the United States. It is sustaining Hezbollah’s growing financial needs. It is helping Iran and Hezbollah consolidate a local constituency in multiple countries across Latin America. It is thus facilitating their efforts to build safe havens for terrorists and a continent-wide terror infrastructure that they could use to strike U.S. targets.
How many more "dots" need to be connected before Congress cooperates fully with President Trump’s efforts to end the madness?

DAVID CLOUD: VATICAN II COUNCIL REAFFIRMS CATHOLIC HERESIES

DAVID CLOUD: VATICAN II COUNCIL REAFFIRMS CATHOLIC HERESIES 
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:

While the declarations of the Roman Catholic Vatican II Council of the 1960s did bring changes to the Catholic Church, it did not change its foundational dogmas. Not only did Vatican II uphold Rome’s false dogmas, it actually strengthened them. The more than 2,400 bishops attending Vatican II reaffirmed such Roman heresies as papal supremacy, the Roman priesthood, the mass as a re-sacrifice of Christ, the sacramental gospel, Catholic tradition on equal par with Scripture, Mary as the Queen of Heaven and co-redemptress with Christ, auricular confession, pilgrimages to “holy shrines,” purgatory, and prayers to and for the dead. All of these Roman dogmas are reaffirmed in Vatican Council II--The Conciliar and Post Conciliar Documents. This book is published by the Roman Catholic Church and contains the Imprimatur: Walter P. Kellenberg, D,D., Bishop of Rockville Centre, Aug. 12, 1975. “Imprimatur" is the official Catholic stamp of approval and means “let it be printed.” Consider some quotes from the Vatican II documents: The Mass a Re-sacrifice of Christ “Hence the Mass, the Lord’s Supper, is at the same time and inseparably: a sacrifice in which the sacrifice of the cross is perpetuated; a memorial of the death and resurrection of the Lord, who said ‘do this in memory of me’ (Lk. 22:19) … In the Mass, therefore, the sacrifice and sacred meal belong to the same mystery—so much so that they are linked by the closest bond. For in the sacrifice of the Mass Our Lord is immolated when ‘he begins to be present sacramentally as the spiritual food of the faithful under the appearances of bread and wine.’ … For in it Christ perpetuates in an unbloody manner the sacrifice offered on the cross, offering himself to the Father for the world’s salvation through the ministry of priests” (Vatican II, The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Instruction on the Worship of the Eucharistic Mystery, Introduction, C 1,2, p. 108). Christ Present in the Elements of the Mass “In this sacrament Christ is present in a unique way, whole and entire, God and man, substantially and permanently. This presence of Christ under the species ‘is called real, not in an exclusive sense, as if the other kinds of presence were not real, but par excellence” (Vatican II, The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Instruction on the Worship of the Eucharistic Mystery, Chap. 1, E, p. 114). “In the celebration of Mass there is proclaimed the wonderful mystery of the real presence of Christ our Lord under the eucharistic species. The Second Vatican Council and other magisterial pronouncements of the Church have confirmed this truth in the same sense and the same words as those in which the Council of Trent defined it as an article of faith. ... Christ becomes present through an essential change in the elements” (Vatican II, The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, General Instruction on the Roman Missal, foreword, 3, p. 154). The Mass Is a Part of Salvation “As often as the sacrifice of the cross by which ‘Christ our Pasch is sacrificed’ (1 Cor. 5:7) is celebrated on the altar, the work of our redemption is carried out” (Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, Chapter 1, 3, p. 324). The Mass the Center of Christian life “The celebration of the Mass ... is the centre of the whole Christian life for the universal Church, the local Church and for each and every one of the faithful. For therein is the culminating action whereby God sanctifies the world in Christ and men worship the Father as they adore him through Christ the Son of God” (Vatican II, The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, General Instruction on the Roman Missal, chap. 1, 1, p. 159). Christ Is to Be Worshipped in the Wafer “The reservation of the sacred species for the sick ... led to the praiseworthy custom of adoring the heavenly food which is preserved in churches. This practice of adoration has a valid and firm foundation, especially since belief in the real presence of the Lord has as its natural consequence the external and public manifestation of that belief” (Vatican II, The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Instruction on the Worship of the Eucharistic Mystery, Chap. 3, I A, p. 131). “The faithful should therefore strive to worship Christ our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. ... Pastors [priests] should exhort them to this, and set them a good example. ... The place in a church or oratory where the Blessed Sacrament is reserved in the tabernacle [place where the consecrated wafer is kept and worshiped between Masses] should be truly prominent. It ought to be suitable for private prayer so that the faithful may easily and fruitfully, by private devotion also, continue to honour our Lord in this sacrament” (Vatican II, The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Instruction on the Worship of the Eucharistic Mystery, Chap. 3, I B, p. 132). “Devotion, both private and public, towards the sacrament of the altar even outside Mass ... is highly recommended by the Church, since the eucharistic sacrifice is the source and summit of the whole Christian life” (Vatican II, The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Instruction on the Worship of the Eucharistic Mystery, Chap. 3, III, p. 134). “All the faithful ought to show to this most holy sacrament the worship which is due to the true God, as has always been the custom of the Catholic Church. Nor is it to be adored any the less because it was instituted by Christ to be eaten. For even in the reserved sacrament he is to be adored because he is substantially present there through that conversion of bread and wine which, as the Council of Trent tells us, is most aptly named transubstantiation” (Vatican II, The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Instruction on the Worship of the Eucharistic Mystery, Intro., C 6, pp. 109,10). “It is necessary to instruct the faithful that Jesus Christ is the Lord and Saviour and that the same worship and adoration given to God is owed to him present under the sacramental signs” (Vatican II, The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Instruction on Facilitating Sacramental Eucharistic Communion in Particular Circumstances, Piety and Reverence Towards the Sacrament, p. 221). The Wafer to Be Carried in Processions “In processions in which the Blessed Sacrament is solemnly carried through the streets to the singing of hymns, especially on the feast of Corpus Christi, the Christian people give public witness to their faith and devotion towards this sacrament” (Vatican II, The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Instruction on the Worship of the Eucharistic Mystery, Chap. 3, III, p. 134). Masses for the Dead “Holy Mother Church is extremely concerned for the faithful departed. She has decided to intercede for them to the fullest extent in every Mass and abrogates every special privilege in this matter” (Vatican II, The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Apostolic Constitution on the Revision of Indulgences, V, Indulgences not Attached to Things and Places, Norms, 20, p. 87). “The Church offers the Paschal Sacrifice [the Mass] for the Dead so that ... the dead may be helped by the prayers and the living may be consoled by hope” (Vatican II, The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, General Instruction on the Roman Missal, VIII, Masses for the Dead, 335, p. 197). Mass Must be Performed in Strict Accordance with Catholic Tradition “To safeguard the success of these celebrations and to obtain a greater spiritual efficaciousness ... attention must be given to the form. ... The texts of the Mass should be taken from the missal or from approved supplements. Every change ... is arbitrary and therefore rejected ... The furnishings of the altar (cross, altar cloth, candles, missal, purificator, corporal, hand towel and communion plate), the sacred vessels (chalice, paten, pyx), the vestments (amice, alb, cincture, stole and chasuble) should be, in number, form and quality, as desired by present legislation. ... The ritual gestures and the ceremonies of the celebrant, as well as the attitude of the participants should be those prescribed for the normal eucharistic celebration” (Vatican II, The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Instruction on Masses for Special Groups, 11a,b, p. 146). The Wine Can Be Taken Only on Special Occasions “First, they should be reminded that, according to the Catholic faith, Christ is received whole and entire in a complete sacrament even when people communicate under one kind only [take only the wafer without the juice]. And they are not thereby deprived of any grace necessary for salvation ... With the bishop’s approval and after due instruction the following persons may receive Communion from the chalice ... [there follows 14 groups of persons who are permitted to partake of the juice during special Masses performed at weddings, baptisms, ordinations, and certain retreats]” (Vatican II, The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, General Instruction on the Roman Missal, IV, 241, 242, pp. 181-182) Catholic Tradition on Equal Par with Scripture “Sacred Tradition and sacred Scripture, then, are bound closely together, and communicate one with the other. For both of them, flowing out from the same divine well-spring, come together in some fashion to form one thing, and move towards the same goal ... Thus it comes about that the Church does not draw her certainty about all revealed truths from the holy Scriptures alone. Hence, both Scripture and Tradition must be accepted and honoured with equal feelings of devotion and reverence” (Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation, Chap. 2, 9, p. 682). Salvation Is through the Sacraments and the Church “Just as Christ was sent by the Father so also he sent the apostles ... that they might preach the gospel to every creature and proclaim that the Son of God by his death and resurrection had freed us from the power of Satan and from death, and brought us into the Kingdom of his Father. But he also willed that the work of salvation which they preached should be set in train through the sacrifice and sacraments, around which the entire liturgical [ritualistic] life revolves. Thus by Baptism men are grafted into the paschal mystery of Christ. ... They receive the spirit of adoption as sons” (Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Chap. 1, I, 5,6, pp. 23-24). “In that body the life of Christ is communicated to those who believe and who, through the sacraments, are united in a hidden and real way to Christ in his passion and glorification. Through baptism we are formed in the likeness of Christ: ‘For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body’ (1 Cor. 12:13). In this sacred rite fellowship in Christ’s death and resurrection is symbolized and is brought about” (Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, Chap. 1, 7, p. 327). “For it is the liturgy through which, especially in the divine sacrifice of the Eucharist, ‘the work of our redemption is accomplished,’ and it is through the liturgy, especially, that the faithful are enabled to express in their lives and manifest to others the mystery of Christ and the real nature of the true Church” (Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Introduction, para. 2).  Salvation Distributed by the Pope “For God’s only-begotten Son ... has won a treasure for the militant Church ... he has entrusted it to blessed Peter, the key-bearer of heaven, and to his successors who are Christ’s vicars on earth, so that they may distribute it to the faithful for their salvation. They may apply it with mercy for reasonable causes to all who have repented for and have confessed their sins. At times they may remit completely, and at other times only partially, the temporal punishment due to sin in a general as well as in special ways (insofar as they judge it to be fitting in the sight of the Lord). The merits of the Blessed Mother of God and of all the elect ... are known to add further to this treasury’” (ellipsis are in the original) (Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Apostolic Constitution on the Revision of Indulgences, Chap. 4, 7, p. 80). Salvation through the Catholic Church “For it is through Christ’s Catholic Church alone, which is the universal help towards salvation, that the fulness of the means of salvation can be obtained. It was to the apostolic college alone of which Peter is the head, that we believe that our Lord entrusted all the blessings of the New Covenant, in order to establish on earth the one Body of Christ into which all those should be fully incorporated who belong in any way to the people of God” (Decree on Ecumenism, chap. 1, 3, p. 415). “This holy Council first of all turns its attention to the Catholic faithful. Basing itself on scripture and tradition, it teaches that the Church, a pilgrim now on earth, is necessary for salvation: the one Christ is mediator and the way of salvation; he is present to us in his body which is the Church. He himself explicitly asserted the necessity of faith and baptism (cf. Mk. 16:16Jn. 3:5), and thereby affirmed at the same time the necessity of the Church which men enter through baptism as through a door. Hence they could not be saved who, knowing that the Catholic Church was founded as necessary by God through Christ, would refuse either to enter it, or to remain in it” (Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, II, 14, p. 336). Salvation by Good Works “From the most ancient times in the Church good works were also offered to God for the salvation of sinners, particularly the works which human weakness finds hard. Because the sufferings of the martyrs for the faith and for God’s law were thought to be very valuable, penitents used to turn to the martyrs to be helped by their merits to obtain a more speedy reconciliation from the bishops. Indeed, the prayers and good works of holy people were regarded as of such great value that it could be asserted that the penitent was washed, cleansed and redeemed with the help of the entire Christian people” (Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Apostolic Constitution on the Revision of Indulgences, chap. 3, 6, pp. 78,79). Salvation through Baptism “By the sacrament of Baptism, whenever it is properly conferred in the way the Lord determined and received with the proper dispositions of soul, man becomes truly incorporated into the crucified and glorified Christ and is reborn to a sharing of the divine life” (Decree on Ecumenism, chap. 3, II, 22, p. 427). Salvation Is through Indulgences and Ritual “By means of indulgences those members of the Church who are enduring their purification are united more speedily to the members who are in heaven ... holy Mother Church again recommends the practice of indulgences to the faithful. ... The remission of punishment by distribution from the Church’s treasury is incorporated into it. The Church recommends its faithful not to abandon or neglect the holy traditions of those who have gone before. They should be welcomed in a religious spirit as a precious treasure of the Catholic family and esteemed as such. ... The Church reminds them constantly of the things which should be given preference because they are necessary or at least better and more efficacious helps in the task of winning salvation” (Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Apostolic Constitution on the Revision of Indulgences, chap. 4, 10,11, p. 82). Salvation Can Be Achieved through Non-Christian Religions “The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Moslems. These profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind’s judge on the last day... Those who, through no fault of their own, do not know the gospel of Christ or his Church, but who nevertheless seek God with a sincere heart, and, moved by grace, try in their actions to do his will as they know it through the dictates of their conscience—those too may achieve eternal salvation” (Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, chap. 2, 16, p. 338). Salvation Grace Is Not Free but Must Be Earned “All children of the Church should nevertheless remember that their exalted condition results, not from their own merits, but from the grace of Christ. If they fail to respond in thought, word and deed to that grace, not only shall they not be saved, but they shall be the more severely judged” (Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, chap. 2, 14, p. 337). The Catholic Church the Only True Church “This is the sole Church of Christ which in the Creed we profess to be one, holy, catholic and apostolic, which our Saviour, after his resurrection, entrusted to Peter’s pastoral care. ... This Church, constituted and organized as a society in the present world, subsists in the Catholic Church, which is governed by the successor of Peter and by the bishops in communion with him” (Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, chap. 1, 8, p. 329). “For it is through Christ’s Catholic Church alone, which is the universal help towards salvation, that the fulness of the means of salvation can be obtained. It was to the apostolic college alone of which Peter is the head, that we believe that our Lord entrusted all the blessings of the New Covenant, in order to establish on earth the one Body of Christ into which all those should be fully incorporated who belong in any way to the people of God” (Decree on Ecumenism, chap. 1, 3, p. 415). The Pope Is the Supreme Head of the Church “The college or body of bishops has for all that no authority unless united with the Roman Pontiff, Peter’s successor, as its head, whose primatial authority, let it be added, over all, whether pastors or faithful, remains in its integrity. For the Roman Pontiff, by reason of his office as Vicar of Christ, namely, and as pastor of the entire Church, has full, supreme and universal power over the whole Church, a power which he can always exercise unhindered” (Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, chap. 3, 22, p. 344). The Pope Is the Infallible Teacher “The Roman Pontiff, head of the college of bishops, enjoys this infallibility in virtue of his office, when, as supreme pastor and teacher of all the faithful—who confirms his brethren in the faith (cf. Lk. 22:32)—he proclaims in an absolute decision a doctrine pertaining to faith or morals. For that very reason his definitions are rightly said to be irreformable by their very nature and not by reason of the assent of the Church... as a consequence they are in no way in need of the approval of others, and do not admit of appeal to any other tribunal. For in such a case the Roman Pontiff does not utter a pronouncement as a private person, but rather does he expound and defend the teaching of the Catholic faith as the supreme teacher of the universal Church, in whom the Church’s charism of infallibility is present in a singular way” (Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, chap. 3, 25, p. 349). “This loyal submission of the will and intellect must be given, in a special way, to the authentic teaching authority of the Roman Pontiff, even when he does not speak ex cathedra in such wise, indeed, that his supreme teaching authority be acknowledged with respect, and sincere assent be given to decisions made by him, conformably with his manifest mind and intention” (Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, chap. 3, 25, p. 348). Mary the Sinless Mother of God, Perpetual Virgin, Bodily Assumed into Heaven as Queen over All “Joined to Christ the head and in communion with all his saints, the faithful must in the first place reverence the memory of the glorious ever Virgin Mary, Mother of God and of our Lord Jesus Christ... Because of the gift of sublime grace she far surpasses all creatures, both in heaven and on earth... The Immaculate Virgin preserved free from all stain of original sin, was taken up body and soul into heavenly glory, when her earthly life was over, and exalted by the Lord as Queen over all things, that she might be the more fully conformed to her Son, the Lord of lords (cf. Apoc. 19:16) and conqueror of sin and death” (Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, chap. 8, I, 52,53; II, 59, pp. 378,381- 382). Mary Is Co-redemptress with Christ  “Rightly, therefore, the Fathers see Mary not merely as passively engaged by God, but as freely cooperating in the work of man’s salvation through faith and obedience. For as St. Irenaeus says, she being obedient, became the cause of salvation for herself and for the whole human race. Hence not a few of the early Fathers gladly assert with him in their preaching ... ‘death through Eve, life through Mary.’ This union of the mother with the Son in the work of salvation is made manifest from the time of Christ’s virginal conception up to his death” (Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, chap. 8, II, 56, pp. 380-381). Mary Intercedes for Men from Heaven and Aids in Their Salvation “Taken up to heaven she did not lay aside this saving office but by her manifold intercession continues to bring us the gifts of eternal salvation. By her maternal charity, she cares for the brethren of her Son, who still journey on earth surrounded by dangers and difficulties, until they are led into their blessed home. Therefore the Blessed Virgin is invoked in the Church under the titles of Advocate, Helper, Benefactress, and Mediatrix” (Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, chap. 8, II, 62, pp. 382-383). Mary to Be Venerated “Mary has by grace been exalted above all angels and men to a place second only to her Son, as the most holy mother of God who was involved in the mysteries of Christ: she is rightly honoured by a special cult in the Church. ... The sacred synod teaches this Catholic doctrine advisedly and at the same time admonishes all the sons of the Church that the cult, especially the liturgical cult, of the Blessed Virgin, be generously fostered, and that the practices and exercises of devotion towards her, recommended by the teaching authority of the Church in the course of centuries be highly esteemed, and that those decrees, which were given in the early days regarding the cult images of Christ, the Blessed Virgin and the saints, be religiously observed” (Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, chap. 8, IV, The Cult of the Blessed Virgin in the Church, 66,67, pp. 384-385). Intercessions of and Prayers to Dead Saints “The ‘treasury of the Church’ ... is the infinite value, which can never be exhausted, which Christ’s merits have before God. ... This treasury includes as well the prayers and good works of the Blessed Virgin Mary. They are truly immense, unfathomable and even pristine in their value before God. In the treasury, too, are the prayers and good works of all the saints, all those who have followed in the footsteps of Christ the Lord and by his grace have made their lives holy and carried out the mission the Father entrusted to them. In this way they attained their own salvation and at the same time cooperated in saving their brothers in the unity of the Mystical Body. ... The union of the living with their brethren who have fallen asleep in Christ is not broken. ... Now that they are welcomed in their own country and at home with the Lord, through him, with him and in him they intercede unremittingly with the Father on our behalf, offering the merit they acquired on earth through Christ Jesus. ... Their brotherly care is the greatest help to our weakness” (The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Apostolic Constitution on the Revision of Indulgences, chap. 2, 5, pp. 76,77). “In full consciousness of this communion of the whole Mystical Body of Jesus Christ, the Church in its pilgrim members, from the very earliest days of the Christian religion, has honoured with great respect the memory of the dead ... she has always venerated them, together with the Blessed Virgin Mary and the holy angels, with a special love, and has asked piously for the help of their intercession. ... When, then, we celebrate the eucharistic sacrifice [the Mass] we are most closely united to the worship of the heavenly Church; when in the fellowship of communion we honour and remember the glorious Mary ever virgin, St. Joseph, the holy apostles and martyrs and all the saints” (Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, chap. 8, I, 52,53; II, 59, pp. 375,377). “Holy Mother Church is extremely concerned for the faithful departed. She has decided to intercede for them to the fullest extent in every Mass and abrogates every special privilege in this matter” (Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, chap. 8, V, Norms, 20, p. 87). Purgatory Necessary to Purge Sin “The doctrine of purgatory clearly demonstrates that even when the guilt of sin has been taken away, punishment for it or the consequences of it may remain to be expiated or cleansed. They often are. In fact, in purgatory the souls of those who died in the charity of God and truly repentant, but who had not made satisfaction with adequate penance for their sins and omissions are cleansed after death with punishments designed to purge away their debt” (Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Apostolic Constitution on the Revision of Indulgences, chap. 1, 3, p. 75). Priests Have Special Powers to Bestow Spiritual Blessing “However, the Lord also appointed certain men as ministers, in order that they might be united in one body in which ‘all the members have not the same function’ (Rom. 12:4). These men were to hold in the community of the faithful the sacred power of Order, that of offering sacrifice and forgiving sins, and were to exercise the priestly office publicly on behalf of men in the name of Christ” (Decree on the Ministry and Life of Priests, chap. 1, 2, p. 776). “Priests, while being taken from amongst men and appointed for men in the things that appertain to God that they may offer gifts and sacrifices for sins, live with the rest of men as with brothers” (Decree on the Ministry and Life of Priests, chap. 1, 3, p. 778). “The purpose then for which priests are consecrated by God through the ministry of the bishop is that they should be made sharers in a special way in Christ’s priesthood and, by carrying out sacred functions, act as his ministers who through his Spirit continually exercises his priestly function for our benefit in the liturgy. By Baptism priests introduce men into the People of God; by the sacrament of Penance they reconcile sinners with God and the Church; by the Anointing of the sick they relieve those who are ill; and especially by the celebration of Mass they offer Christ’s sacrifice sacramentally” (Decree on the Ministry and Life of Priests, chap. 2, I, 5, p. 781). Catholic Priests Share Christ’s Identical Priesthood “All priests share with the bishops the one identical priesthood and ministry of Christ” (Decree on the Ministry and Life of Priests, chap. 2, II, 7, p. 786). Church Has Power to Grant Indulgences; Those Who Say Church Has no Such Power Are Cursed “Indulgences are ... the taking away of the temporal punishment due to sins when their guilt has already been forgiven. ... in granting an indulgence the Church uses its power as minister of Christ’s Redemption. ... It teaches and commands that the usage of indulgences—a usage most beneficial to Christians and approved by the authority of the Sacred Councils—should be kept in the Church; and it condemns with anathema those who say that indulgences are useless or that the Church does not have the power to grant them. ... By means of indulgences those members of the Church who are enduring their purification are united more speedily to the members who are in heaven in the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood” (Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, chap. 8, IV, 8, 10, pp. 80-82). Rituals and Superstitious Practices Encouraged “The faithful who use with devotion an object of piety (crucifix, cross, Rosary, scapular or medal) after it has been duly blessed by any priest, can gain a partial indulgence. But if this object of piety is blessed by the Pope or any bishop, the faithful who use it with devotion can also gain a plenary indulgence on the feast of the apostles Peter and Paul. ... When one of the faithful is in danger of death and no priest in available to administer the sacraments to him with the apostolic blessing ... holy Mother Church still grants a plenary indulgence to be gained at the moment of death, on condition that they are properly disposed and have been in the habit of reciting some prayers during their lifetime. The practice of using a crucifix or cross while gaining this plenary indulgence is praiseworthy” (Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, chap. 8, V, Norms, 17,18, p. 86). Confession and Penance Aid in Conversion “The sacrament of Penance restores and strengthens in members of the Church who have sinned the fundamental gift of ... conversion to the kingdom of Christ, which is first received in Baptism. ... Those who approach this sacrament receive from God’s mercy the pardon of their offences and at the same time they are reconciled to the Church which they have wounded by their sins. The Religious should likewise hold in high esteem the frequent use of this sacrament ... desiring closer union with God, should endeavour to receive the sacrament of penance frequently, that is, twice a month ... To ensure legitimate liberty, all women religious and novices may make their confession validly and licitly to any priest approved for hearing confessions in the locality” (Decree on Confession for Religious, pp. 611,612). Celibacy Imposed “For these reasons, based on the mystery of Christ and his mission, celibacy, which at first was recommended to priests, was afterwards in the Latin Church imposed by law on all who were to be promoted to holy Orders. This sacred Council approves and confirms this legislation so far as it concerns those destined for the priesthood, and feels confident in the Spirit that the gift of celibacy, so appropriate to the priesthood of the New Testament, is liberally granted by the Father” (Decree on the Ministry and Life of Priests, chap. 3, II, 16, p. 802). HAS THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, THEN, CHANGED? You have read for yourself the solemn proclamations of Rome’s official Vatican II Council. These are proclamations made by the Pope and the college of bishops, and according to Catholic teaching, there is no higher authority than “the Church’s dogma and interpretation of Scripture.” Of course, we realize there are Catholics do not believe these teachings, but where shall we go to find the official teachings of Catholicism? To the Vatican itself, of course. To say that the Vatican doesn’t know Catholic doctrine is like saying Hitler didn’t know Nazism.  Though some dramatic changes were made during and since the Vatican II Council, the Roman Catholic Church remains the same blasphemous, unscriptural institution it always has been. It is not possible to believe the previously quoted Vatican II pronouncements and think otherwise. Yet, the lie that Catholicism is becoming more evangelical, more biblical, and more spiritual continues to be propagated with blind perseverance. It is this lie that is being used to encourage the ecumenical fellowship between Catholics and Protestants. The same lie is a clever tool for persuading Catholics to stay in the Roman Church when they are converted or when they begin doubting Catholic doctrines. Since it is plain that the Roman Catholic Church continues to uphold doctrines that are blasphemous and contrary to the Word of God, it is therefore inexcusable for Billy Graham and Ted Haggard and Jack Van Impe and Chuck Colson and other evangelicals to affiliate with it or to speak of it in a positive fashion. The Word of God commands us to separate from those who teach error. “Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them” (Romans 16:17). “Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away” (2 Tim. 3:5). “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?” (2 Cor. 6:14). “Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth” (1 Cor. 5:6-8).  “But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him” (2 Cor. 11:3-4).

FORGET FACEBOOK, THEY WANT TO REVOKE YOUR ACCESS TO BANKING

FORGET FACEBOOK, THEY WANT TO REVOKE YOUR ACCESS TO BANKING

Social media de-platforming is only the beginning; The ultimate social credit score nightmare is coming

BY PAUL JOSEPH WATSON
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:
The biggest threat that social media censorship poses is not you being unable to access Facebook or Twitter, it’s you not being able to get a mortgage or have a bank account.
The end result of Big Tech silencing conservative voices is banks and corporations removing your access to the marketplace and severely restricting your basic right to buy and sell.
We have already seen numerous instances of people being deplatformed by BANKS for the political opinions, from Mastercard telling Patreon to remove Robert Spencer’s account, to Martina Markota and Enrique Tarrio having services terminated by Chase Bank over their support for Trump.
Mastercard also recently indicated that it would hold a vote on whether to cut off payments to “global far-right political leaders”. But this will extend to everyone. Mastercard will ‘monitor’ your financial activity for indications of dissident behavior. That’s chilling.

Before Infowars was banned by Paypal and numerous other payment processors last year, despite having an impeccable credit score, the company was slapped with a designation akin to having ties to terrorism, making banks averse to doing any business with Infowars.
Payment processors and banks are now using similar ‘dangerous person’ designations as Facebook and other Big Tech outfits to not only deplatform, but to designate a person an “extremist” for life.
I was banned by Facebook under the same designation which bans users from the platform who engage in the following behavior;
– Terrorist activity – Organised hate – Mass or serial murder – Human trafficking – Organised violence or criminal activity
Once marked as an “extremist,” this designation is then intended to apply to every other area of your life.
This is the ultimate nightmare scenario – a Communist Chinese-style social credit system where you will be denied banking, loans and given poor credit rating if you associate with people or espouse views deemed “dangerous” by the establishment, which at this point is anything that counters their narrative.
Facebook already announced it will ban people merely for mentioning people like Alex Jones or Gavin McInnes or sharing their content without simultaneously denouncing it. In the near future, AI will make this process instantaneous.
Let that sink in. A giant corporation which controls the new public square is telling its 2.3 billion users what political opinions they must hold in order to be allowed to have free expression.
This is nothing less than one giant digital re-education camp.
The Paypal ban against Infowars was handed down just weeks after George Soros-funded group Right Wing Watch published an article demanding that PayPal terminate its agreement with Infowars for “egregious violations of the platform’s own terms of service.”
With PayPal now buying up global credit card payment processors and moving into conventional banking, we are approaching a time when a handful of corporations will control all banking just as a handful of Silicon Valley giants now control free speech.
What about Bitcoin as an alternative? Facebook is now moving into cryptocurrencies. Imagine a day when Facebook controls virtually all online payment mechanisms but you’re banned from using them because you posted a spicy meme or spoke out against mass immigration.
All of this will only be exaserbated by the fact that we are moving towards a cashless society where hard currency is eliminated. You will be forced to use a credit card and you will only be able to have access to a credit card if your social credit score is good enough.
Banned by Facebook? Punished for sharing an “offensive” opinion on Twitter? Now you’re an “extremist”. Now your social credit score has collapsed. Now your bank informs you services have been terminated. Good luck dumpster diving for tonight’s dinner.
Unless we stop this now, unless Trump takes executive action to halt corporations being able to refuse service based on political beliefs, not only will you be silenced, your life will become a living hell.
So you can live without Facebook or Instagram. Imagine trying to live without access to a loan for a car, a mortgage for a house or a bank account period.
They don’t just want you silenced, they want you destitute. They want you broke and homeless.
They want total compliance and obedience under threat of the complete ruination of your life.

STAYING OUT OF THE MUD, BIDEN CALLS TRUMP A “CLOWN”, FORGETS BRITISH PRIME MINISTER’S NAME

DEMENTIA? NURSING HOME CANDIDATE!
STAYING OUT OF THE MUD, BIDEN CALLS TRUMP A “CLOWN”, FORGETS BRITISH PRIME MINISTER’S NAME
BY R. CORT KIRKWOOD
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Bidenwho said he liked Barack Hussein Obama because he is “clean” and “articulate,” says President Donald Trump is a “clown.”
He uttered the remark at a high-dollar fundraiser on Saturday in South Carolina, where he also said Trump and the GOP want to resurrect Jim Crow laws to stop blacks from voting.
Biden, who has repeatedly lied about his own role in “silencing” Anita Hill when she accused U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas of sex harassment, says decency and dignity must be returned to the White House.
So Many Nicknames As Bloomberg described the event, “Joe Biden said he doesn’t intend to try to match Donald Trump in the nickname game but nonetheless offered one for the president while speaking to donors on Saturday.”
Trump calls the former vice president “Sleepy Joe,” while woman know him as “Creepy Joe” because he can’t keep his hands — or lips — to himself.
Said Sleepy Joe, “there are so many nicknames that I’m inclined to give this guy. We could just start with clown. When he says these ridiculous things he says, I mean this, I put my hand up and say, ‘everybody knows who you are’ because they do know.”
Just after calling Trump a clown, Bloomberg reported, Biden told one of the donors that he won’t stoop to Trump’s level. “The only place he has any confidence is in the mud. The only thing he doesn’t know how to respond to is issues and specifics.”
Staying out the mud, Biden called Trump a “no good S.O.B,” Bloomberg reported, who would attack Biden’s children and grandchildren, perhaps the way Biden has attacked the president’s family.
Biden’s sorry, Politico reported, for saying that if he had gone to high school with Trump, he would have taken “him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him.”
“I probably shouldn’t have done that,” Biden said. “I don’t want to get it down to that level. The presidency is an office that requires some dignity.”
Jim Crow on the Rise But Biden’s other comment that demonstrates his commitment to a clean, mud-free race also came Saturday.
He accused the president and GOP of trying to suppress the black vote and of plotting to resurrect Jim Crow laws because the party supports voters providing identification before casting a ballot.
“You’ve got Jim Crow sneaking back in,” he said. “You know what happens when you have an equal right to vote? They lose.”
Jim Crow was the maze of laws of that separated black from white before the 1964 Civil Rights Act banned them. Republicans have won the presidency eight times since then.
Democrats have claimed for some time that laws requiring identification to vote are really aimed at suppressing the black vote, and have even peddled the lie that black leftist radical Stacey Abrams lost the governor’s race because of “voter suppression.”
Mental Acuity Biden’s bizarre claim about Jim Crow, which was abolished before Biden went to law school in the 1960s, might raise the question of whether the 78-year-old is mentally fit to be president.
Another sign that Biden might be losing it, and simply too elderly to be president, also came Saturday. He confused British Prime Minister Theresa May with late Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who served from 1979 to 1990.
In claiming to have heard from 14 foreign heads of state about Trump, and to burnish his foreign policy experience, Biden mentioned the Iron Lady.
“One I can say is Margaret Thatcher, um, excuse me, Margaret Thatcher," he said, while meaning to refer to the prime minister of Great Britain, Theresa May. Biden called it a “Freudian slip,” and the Democratic worthies laughed, Politico reported.
Whether it was a Freudian slip remains to be seen. He mangled his campaign premier in Pittsburgh and incessantly repeats himself.
Reported the Washington Examiner, “He opened his 27-minute address by expressing his gratitude to ‘Rich Fritzgerald, the county executive for — the baladanny — the Allegheny County executive for being here.’” The man’s name is Fitzgerald. “It was downhill from there,” the newspaper reported. “He slurred or stumbled over words like ‘dignity,’ ‘successful,’ and ‘hospitals.’”
Well-known for his shocking racial gaffes, Biden was similarly tongue-tied during a speech in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where he said “folks” more than 30 times.

TIME FOR A DIGITAL BILL OF RIGHTS~COMMENTS BY PAUL JOSEPH WATSON

TIME FOR A DIGITAL BILL OF RIGHTS~
COMMENTS BY PAUL JOSEPH WATSON

Donald J Trump surprised to see conservative thinkers like James Woods banned from Twitter, and Paul Watson banned from Facebook retweeted a tweet by Paul Joseph Watson.

USA – -(AmmoLand.com)-  Thank you, Mr. President. Very cool. But while tweets are nice. We need action. A handful of giant corporations have seized control of the new public square and are digitally disappearing dissidents.
The first rule of Facebook is don't talk about anyone who Mark Zuckerberg doesn't like. Otherwise, you'll be banned by Facebook. This isn't a joke. It's literally their new policy. They're not just banning people they're dictating the opinions that everyone on the platform is allowed to have. Merely appearing in a photo or a video with someone who Mark Zuckerberg doesn't like is now enough to get you banned. This is virtually identical to the communist Chinese social credit score system. But instead, it's controlled by giant corporations with more power than some countries accept at least in China it's written down, so you know how to stay in compliance.
Tucker Carlson reports “How dangerous is Infowars. Well Facebook believes it's so dangerous that you can be banned from using the platform, Facebook, just for sharing its content unless you simultaneously denounce it. But let that penetrate for just one moment think about it just for a second. Mark Zuckerberg is not simply censoring opinions he's prescribing which political opinions you're allowed to have. Which conversations all of us in this country can have about America. Keep in mind that nobody voted for Mark Zuckerberg. He's 34 years old. He's completely cut off from reality. He's worth 72 billion dollars and yet he can single-handedly make our First Amendment irrelevant after 250 years.”
I mean how tragic is it that Snoop Dogg who encouraged his 32 million followers to float Facebook and Instagram with Lewis Farrakhan videos has a better grasp of the principle of freedom of speech than 90 percent of journalists. The same journalists who whine about Trump targeting the media then pop champagne corks when anyone on the right gets silence. This has nothing to do with hate. Whatever that means. This is about you beginning to lose the argument culturally and politically. So instead of trying to engage on a level playing field and I don't know actually doing some work you merely silence the dissent. This is classic authoritarianism.
“I want them shut down I want them silenced I want them muted” screeched Ana Navarro recently on ABC's the View.
I want them to shut down; I want them silenced.
This is the rhetoric of authoritarian tyrants, yet we are the dangerous ones. Really. This isn't a private company and enforcing it's arbitrary and ever-changing rules. Virtually every prominent online personality who helped get Trump elected has now been banned on some or all social media platforms. Do you think that's a coincidence or is it a political purge? Oh and isn't it great how Facebook has banned all these dangerous extremists while still leaving people free to surf Hamas and Hezbollah pages. Facebook is the establishment and knows popular dissent is keeping establishment candidates out of office. 2016 was the turning point and showed that an anti-establishment figure like Trump could win. So they are silencing populist voices ahead of the 2020 [election]. Here's what needs to happen. Platform access should be a civil right for all citizens in all countries.

Digital Bill Of Rights

Digital Bill Of RightsDigital Bill Of Rights
We need a digital bill of rights. Social media is the digital public square. The only circumstance for banning someone from the digital public square should be if they abuse that public square to post something criminal or an immediate incitement to violence. In coordination with this Facebook and every other big tech firm which fails to live up to this new standard should have its legal immunity under Section 230 of the Communications Act stripped. Facebook no longer acts as a platform. It acts as a publisher. If Facebook wants to be a publisher, it can be a publisher. Which would mean that Facebook would be personally and legally liable for everything posted on their website. Facebook is clearly putting themselves on one side of the political debate. They're entitled to do that as a private company, but if they do want to do that, then they need to be regulated as a political actor. If you ban a bunch of people for partisan reasons in the midst of a presidential campaign season that is election meddling.
I'm sorry I forgot. We're only supposed to care about election meddling when a few Russians buy some Facebook ads. And please just shut up with the “no, a private company can do what it likes” crap. When people start losing their bank accounts and credit cards because they had the wrong political opinions, which is already happening when people cannot buy and sell because they have the wrong political opinions. Sorry. Your Amazon smart refrigerator has denied you access to your groceries due to you visiting Infowars.com. When people are homeless and destitute because they can't get mortgages and they can't get loans because they have the wrong political opinions are you still going to gleefully repeat the mantra “oh there a private company”. How about medical care. That's a private practice. Should we deny people medical care because they have the wrong political opinions? It was wrong for black people to be denied services by businesses and it's wrong for everyone to be denied service by social media companies under the law. Businesses don't have the right to discriminate against people's political views. They don't have the right to deny service. As the ACLU points out once the business decides to advertise its services to the public at large, it gives up the prerogative to pick and choose which customers to serve. Even when that commercial service involves some form of speech or expression. That's already the law. So why is it not being applied to Silicon Valley giants?
As Wilt Chamberlain writes. “When private companies violate civil rights we pass laws to stop them from doing so.”
So while the tweets are nice and the support has been incredible, we need action. And it really does seem like this is our last chance
It's absolutely crucial for us to stay in touch. That you subscribe to my free newsletter right now: https://mailchi.mp/3d7b9fa9edc0/summitnews

AMERICAN BAPTIST PASTOR OPENS BAR ONE BLOCK FROM CHURCH: “WE HAVE TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX”

Prodigal are welcome at pastor’s new pub | Southwest Journal
AMERICAN BAPTIST PASTOR OPENS BAR ONE BLOCK FROM CHURCH: “WE HAVE TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX”
BY MICHAEL FOUST
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:
The pastor of a multicultural church in Minneapolis is set to open a pub he hopes will be a place for the community to come together.
Pastor Jeff Cowmeadow of Calvary Baptist Church and his wife, Randi, say they’ve long dreamed of owning a bar, possibly because they met in one.
“We believe that the church has to do new things. We have to think outside the box. So people have been very generous to help this come to fruition,” Cowmeadow told Southwest Journal, a Minneapolis community newspaper.
The bar, Prodigal Public House, will serve food and focus on whiskey and Guinness. It is just one block from Calvary Baptist, a member of the American Baptist Churches USA denomination.
The pub’s name was inspired by Jesus’ Parable of the Prodigal Son. Cowmeadow and his family own it.
“People say we have the gift of hospitality. So it’s really just living out who you are,” Cowmeadow told WCCO. “We can have spirits and have spiritual conversation. You can laugh, cry, do life together in a pub.”
He has served at the church since 1986 and sees the pub as an extension of Jesus’ commandments.
“The two great commandments, right? Love God, love your neighbor,” he told the Southwest Journal. “So we’re just trying to be a neighbor.”
The church’s vision, according to its website, is to be “a multicultural movement of mature, glad-hearted followers of Jesus Christ, deeply embracing life while living out our discipleship in the world.”
On social media, reaction was mixed to the pub. Some wanted to visit it.
“We have to check this out!” Michelle Lundequam Stillwell wrote on the Star Tribune’s Facebook page.
Others, though, seemed to question the idea.
“Just wondering why not a coffee shop? Credits for him not opening up a strip club,” Dani Savage wrote.
It is scheduled to open May 9.

ISLAMIC STATE SUPPORTER DECLARES THAT 
CHURCHES ARE LEGITIMATE TARGETS
BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:

“On May 2, 2019, a supporter of the Islamic State (ISIS) posted an archival screenshot of a report saying that the Vatican endorses the use of force against ISIS. Therefore, the post states, ‘The Crusaders’ churches are legitimate targets for ISIS.”

The accusation against the Vatican and Christians is patently false. In fact, in 2017, the Islamic State released a “propaganda poster of Pope Francis being , beheaded’“despite the Pope bending backwards to defend Islam.
Attacks against Christians and Christian persecution is a longstanding evil, endemic and it is not based on anything more than Christians being regarded as Kaffirs. Even though Pope Francis is deemed to be an apologist for Islam, it is still not enough for the Islamic State. Nothing is enough for jihadists but complete surrender by infidels.
While the Islamic State makes reference to Christian “Crusaders”, the  Christian Crusades happened between 1096 and 1291. Compare that to the jihad war of conquest that started in the 7th century, rampaged through Christian territories, murdered, pillaged and plundered anyone and anything in its way and still continues its vision. From Muhammad to ISIS, the 1,400 year jihad war continues to this day. There is no Christian crusade going on, only excuses to continue the endeavors of Islamic supremacists.
“ISIS Supporter: Churches Are Legitimate”, MEMRI, May 2, 2019:
On May 2, 2019, a supporter of the Islamic State (ISIS) posted an archival screenshot of a report saying that the Vatican endorses the use of force against ISIS. Therefore, the post states, “The Crusaders’ churches are legitimate targets for ISIS. The Vatican has declared war on the Islamic State and supported it [this war]. Every barking hypocrite who cries crocodile tears must stick a shoe in his mouth….

FLAREUP IN GAZA: HAMAS & ISLAMIC JIHAD FIRE 200 ROCKETS TOWARDS ISRAEL

FLAREUP IN GAZA: HAMAS & ISLAMIC JIHAD 
FIRE 200 ROCKETS TOWARDS ISRAEL
BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:
Renewed fighting has escalated in Gaza: “approximately 200 rockets have been fired by Gaza militants towards Israel over the course of a few hours…In response, the IDF says it has carried out airstrikes on more than 30 militant targets in Gaza, including rocket launcher sites and other military compounds used by Hamas and Islamic Jihad.”
There’s nothing new about flareups in Gaza. The jihadist war against Israel began in 1948 and will continue until the Palestinian Authority, the PLO, Hamas and Fatah accept Israel’s right to exist, which they will never do. Each of these jihadist organizations aim to obliterate Israel in accordance with their charters, despite the ongoing lies and propaganda about: the Palestinian leadership making efforts toward a two-state solution, the so-called Israeli “occupation”, Israel “apartheid” etc.
The well-known declaration, “From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free”, is an ongoing mantra which fixates on obliterating Israel from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea.
Each time Israel has given up land in efforts toward peace, land which it captured in defensive wars, its jihadist neighbors betrayed agreements and were instead, further emboldened.
Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas in Gaza, was loudly praising violent riots along the Gaza-Israel border in late March, “as tens of thousands of Palestinians massed along the border on the first anniversary of the “Great March of Return”.  Sinwar declared: “we want to bomb Tel Aviv.” Islamic Jihad is also now vowing to strike major Israeli cities. Intentions do not get clearer than that.
Such recent disturbing news does not stop there: with aid from the Islamic Republic of Iran, Hizballah has now built a new missile manufacturing facility in Beirut. Despite all, in early April, Israel again embarked on futile efforts toward peace, by negotiating an agreement with Hamas. Part of the agreement included an easing of “the restrictions on the fishing area and gradually open the Gaza crossings to allow additional goods through.” Meanwhile, Deputy Hamas leader Saleh al-Arouri emphasized that a Hamas-Israel agreement “is not a peace agreement”.
Appeasement of jihadists has never worked and will never work. It emboldens jihadist bullies.
“2 wounded as Gaza militants fire 200 rockets towards Israel: IDF”, by Andrew Carey, CNN, May 4, 2019:
Jerusalem (CNN)Approximately 200 rockets have been fired by Gaza militants towards Israel over the course of a few hours on Saturday, according to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
The Iron Dome aerial defense system intercepted dozens of the incoming rockets, the IDF added.
Two Israelis have been wounded, including an 80-year old woman in the city of Kiryat Gat, about twenty miles from Gaza, injured by shrapnel to her head and legs, according to Israel’s emergency response service, Magen David Adom.
In response, the IDF says it has carried out airstrikes on more than 30 militant targets in Gaza, including rocket launcher sites and other military compounds used by Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health says one person has died as a result of the Israeli strikes, and seven others have been wounded.
Israel has also announced that it is closing the two border crossings between Israel and Gaza, as well as closing the Gaza fishing zone in light of the rocket fire.
The announcement came from the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT). The fishing zone was restricted to 6 nautical miles earlier this week following a rocket fired from Gaza that landed off the coast of Israel.
There was no specific date for when the crossings and the fishing zone would reopen.
Saturday’s rocket barrage comes less than a day after two militants from Hamas’s armed wing, the Qassam Brigades, were killed in an Israeli strike on Hamas posts in Gaza.
Israel launched airstrikes Friday after two Israeli soldiers were wounded by sniper fire along the Gaza border….

HHS ISSUES “CONSCIENCE RIGHTS IN HEALTH CARE” RULE TO PROTECT RELIGIOUS OBJECTORS TO ABORTION, ASSISTED SUICIDE

HHS ISSUES “CONSCIENCE RIGHTS IN HEALTH CARE” RULE TO PROTECT RELIGIOUS OBJECTORS TO ABORTION, ASSISTED SUICIDE
BY HEATHER CLARK
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:

WASHINGTON — The Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) Office for Civil Rights (OCR) has announced the issuance of a final rule that is meant to ensure the protection of the conscience rights of medical professionals and others who have objections to abortion or physician-assisted suicide.

“Finally, laws prohibiting government-funded discrimination against conscience and religious freedom will be enforced like every other civil rights law,” OCR Director Roger Severino said in a statement.
“This rule ensures that healthcare entities and professionals won’t be bullied out of the healthcare field because they decline to participate in actions that violate their conscience, including the taking of human life,” he explained. “Protecting conscience and religious freedom not only fosters greater diversity in healthcare, it’s the law.”
According to Severino’s office, the rule protects healthcare facilities that decline to perform or refer for abortions, as well as professionals who decline to receive training in abortion. Patients who have objections to mental health treatment of children or occupational illness testing are also protected under the law.
The updated rule provides clarification on existing federal conscience protection laws as passed by Congress, and requires healthcare entities to keep records documenting compliance with such statutes, as well as to to submit certifications to HHS that they are indeed following the law.
OCR says that the rule is necessary because some remain confused about whether or not federal or state laws require individuals to participate in abortions or sterlizations, despite the existence of protections such as the Weldon Amendment and the Coats-Snowe Amendment.
“For instance, some advocacy organizations have filed lawsuits claiming that federal or state laws require private religious entities to perform abortions and sterilizations despite the existence of longstanding conscience and anti‐discrimination protections on this topic,” the department outlined in its rule explanation.
“A patient also sued a secular public hospital for accommodating doctors’ and nurses’ religious objections to abortion in alleged violation of a state law, Washington’s Reproductive Privacy Act,” it stated.
OCR explained that it believes the rule is also needed to educate the public, to encourage those with religious convictions to remain in the healthcare industry, and to urge those whose rights may be violated to file a complaint.
According to reports, HHS received 242,000 comments from the public on the proposed rule, some of whom expressed concern that it would adversely affect women, homosexuals and those who identify as transgender.
“Denying kids health care because they have two moms is not religious liberty. Denying patients IVF because they are unmarried is not religious liberty. Denying patients surgery because they are trans is not religious liberty,” the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) tweeted on Thursday. “Discrimination is not religious liberty.”
However, a number of healthcare professionals who found themselves having to choose between their job or their convictions due to employers who expected them to assist with abortions applauded the development.
“I’ll never forget the day my supervisor ignored the law and forced me to participate in an abortion. I still have nightmares about that day,” said Cathy DeCarlo in a statement released by Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF). “As an immigrant to America because of the freedom and opportunity I saw here, today I’m hopeful that HHS’ new rule will help make sure that no other nurses or health care professionals will be forced to go through what I did and that their rights will be protected.”
“After 28 years of working as a critical care and emergency room nurse, I never imagined my employer would force me to choose between taking the life of an unborn child and losing my job. But 11 other nurses and I were ordered to assist in abortion even though it violated our religious convictions and contradicted our calling as a medical professional to protect life,” also outlined Fe Esperanza Racpan Vinoya.
“Both New Jersey and federal law prohibited this discrimination. But those laws are only as effective as the willingness of government officials to enforce them,” she added. “Today’s rule helps enforce the law just like any other civil rights law and protect people like me who love serving our patients.”

TIME MAGAZINE FEATURES PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE PETE BUTTIGIEG WITH “HUSBAND” ON “FIRST FAMILY” COVER

TIME MAGAZINE FEATURES PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE PETE BUTTIGIEG WITH “HUSBAND” 
ON “FIRST FAMILY” COVER 
BY HEATHER CLARK
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:

Time Magazine has featured Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg and his “husband” Chasten Glezman on its May cover, with the large-lettered headline “First Family.”
The print version is expected to roll out on May 13, but the article itself is currently available on the outlet’s website. The report gives significant attention to Buttigieg’s homosexuality, and refers to the candidate as a “happily married Christian veteran.”
“His youth is appealing to many voters, but it also means he’s green. The idea of electing the first gay president thrills liberals, but it also rallies opponents,” writes reporter Charlotte Alter.
The article covers Buttigieg’s military service, that he dated women in college but was “strongly attracted to other young men,” and that Glezman’s parents were once opposed to his homosexuality, but came to change their mind.
“Buttigieg met Chasten Glezman, then a Chicago grad student, on the dating app Hinge in 2015. They talked over FaceTime for a few weeks before Chasten drove to South Bend for their first real date, at an Irish bar famous for its Scotch eggs,” it states. “Less than three years later, Pete proposed in gate B5 of Chicago’s O’Hare airport, the exact spot where Chasten had first noticed his dating profile.”
Alter also visited Buttigieg’s home, and outlines in her report how the household chores are divided between the two men and what their pet peeves are about each other.
She additionally discusses Buttigieg’s journey to becoming the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and what he believes sets him apart in his run for the presidency, noting that “Buttigieg’s campaign has … gotten a boost from a network of wealthy LGBT donors.”
“This idea that we just sort people into baskets of good and evil ignores the central fact of human existence, which is that each of us is a basket of good and evil,” he is quoted as stating. “The job of politics is to summon the good and beat back the evil.”
As previously reported, earlier this month, Buttigieg asserted during a fundraising event that those who take issue with his homosexuality rather have a problem with his Maker.
“You may be religious, and you may not. But if you are, and you are also queer, and you have come through the other side of a period of wishing that you weren’t, then you know … that this idea that there’s something wrong with you is a message that puts you at war not only with yourself but with your Maker,” he claimed.
“And speaking only for myself, I can tell you that if me being gay was a choice, it was a choice that was made far, far above my pay grade,” the candidate added, pointing to Heaven. “And that’s the thing I wish the Mike Pences of the world would understand: that if you have a problem with who I am, then your problem is not with me. Your quarrel, sir, is with my Creator.”
However, as previously reported, the Bible teaches that all men are in the same predicament: All are born with the Adamic sin nature, having various inherent inclinations that are contrary to the law of God, and are “by nature the children of wrath” and the enemies of God (Ephesians 2:3; Romans 5:10), being utterly incapable of changing themselves.
Jesus outlined in John 3:5-7 that men must be regenerated by the second birth, and must have their very nature changed by the Spirit of God, or they cannot see the kingdom of Heaven.
“He who is born again has had the eyes of his understanding opened,” the late Anglican preacher J.C. Ryle once stated. “He feels amazed that he could have lived so long careless and indifferent about transgressions, and he looks back on the days gone by with shame and sorrow and grief.”
“As for his daily conduct, he allows himself in no known sin; he makes no compromise with his old habits and his old principles; he gives them up unsparingly, though it cost him pain, though the world think him over-precise and a fool — but he is a new man, and will have nothing more to do with the accursed thing — sin.”
Scripture also teaches, “Let no man say when he is tempted, ‘I am tempted of God.’ For God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth He any man. But every man is tempted when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.”
1 Corinthians 6 declares freedom from sin, including homosexuality, stating, “And such were some of you — but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.”

SECOND AMENDMENT MAKES CLEAR: AMERICANS ARE NOT SUBSERVIENT TO GOVERNMENT

SECOND AMENDMENT MAKES CLEAR: 
AMERICANS ARE NOT SUBSERVIENT TO GOVERNMENT

Opinion The Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights of the U.S. Constitution is unique; no other nation on earth trusts its citizenry; thus, no other nation on earth, but the United States, will dare place trust in an armed citizenry. Read Part One.
Vote Against SocialismDemocrats seek to reconfigure the Nation into a societal collective, a dictatorship of a kind; one that many on the Left euphemistically, slyly, and disingenuously, refer to as “Democratic Socialism”.
New York – -(AmmoLand.com)- No other Nation on Earth accepts the notion that its citizens—in many instances today, as in times past, more in the nature of “subjects of the realm” and less true citizens—have an inherent, independent right to keep and bear arms. But, the founders of our Nation conceived Americans as individuals who have their own personal needs and desires; their own individual hopes and dreams. The founders perceived each American to be a unique individual soul. They understood that each life is ordained and governed by the Divine Creator, not by the State. And they crafted a free Republic consistent with that belief.

Government exists to serve the American citizen. The American citizen does not exist to serve Government.

Americans, as individuals, are not an amorphous collective, to be shepherded and controlled with an iron fist. The founders recognized that a constitution for a new nation must be carefully crafted to uphold and respect the sanctity of the individual, lest the nation devolve into tyranny—the yoke of which the founders had fought hard to throw off, and which they certainly had no wish to impose anew on the fledgling Nation they sought to erect.
The principle of the sanctity and inviolability of the individual over that of the societal collective was, for the founders of a Free Republic, self-evident, true. That salient principle is reflected in and manifested in the Nation’s Bill of Rights. No other Nation on this Earth has a Bill of Rights like ours–a Bill of Rights that makes clear that the Government of this Nation is subordinate to and subservient to the will of the American people; always and forever. In the event those who wield power in Government happen to think otherwise, or happen to forget this salient fact, the Second Amendment exists as an ever-present reminder to Government officials and legislators of that salient fact.
Capture - Eric Swalwell 1, YT, Late ShowEric Swalwell incessantly, ferociously attacks the Second Amendment and acts as if he is seemingly oblivious to the import and purport of the Second Amendment, or perhaps, more likely, he is all too aware of it.
Yet, politicians such as New York's Governor Andrew Cuomo, and Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA)–and others like those two, as well as those who work for the mainstream media, or who are employed in our system of education, and many, unfortunately, who serve as judges in our State or Federal Courts–who incessantly, ferociously attack the Second Amendment, act as if seemingly oblivious to the import and purport of the Second Amendment, or perhaps, more likely, they are all too aware of it. That would explain their single-minded obsession with it and heavy-handed efforts to defeat it.
These politicians, pundits, educators, and jurists intend, unabashedly, to upend the very integrity and structural foundation of our Nation. They do so by masking their policy objectives in the guise of promoting the public good. But, through that very argument—denigrating the Second Amendment to promote and protect the welfare of society—the deviousness and insidiousness of their objectives become readily apparent. They seek to reconfigure the Nation into a societal collective, a dictatorship of a kind; one that many on the Left euphemistically, slyly, and disingenuously, refer to as “Democratic Socialism”. An expression coined merely to mask a demonic vision that is the antithesis of anything the founders of this Nation had sought for the Nation but which the radical Left in this Country intends to thrust upon this Nation anyway.
Is it any wonder, then, that this radical Left would seek to destroy our Nation's heritage and history, that it would demand the dismantling of our statues and monuments, and that it would dare reserve for itself the right to declare what constitutes acceptable speech and conduct and what does not, lest our descendants recognize the true extent of their loss, and thereupon rightfully begrudge those who had so unceremoniously stolen their birthright?
In the new America the radical Left in this Country conceives, there is no place for an armed citizenry. There is no protection from unreasonable searches and seizures. There is no room for individuals to speak their mind, freely and openly. Even the concept of personal property would rest on shaky ground as that concept is inconsistent with the precepts of socialism.
These so-called Democratic Socialists are proponents of Collectivism, not Individualism. They argue that the needs and well-being of Society as a Whole, the Collective, is more important than the needs, the desires, the will of the individual American citizen. As they are aware that the goals and aims of the Collective are often at odds with the goals and aims of the Individual, these Collectivists–these so-called Democratic Socialists–show no reluctance in constraining and restraining the needs and desires of the Individual. The founders of our free Republic would vehemently disagree with the goals, beliefs, and predilections of these Collectivists. They would be aghast.
The Bill of Rights stands as a testament to the founders’ belief in the sanctity and inviolability of the individual over that of the Collective; over that of the herd. It should come as no surprise, then, as we see these Collectivists, the Radical Left in this Country, criticizing the Bill of Rights, attempting to second-guess the framers' reason for incorporating it into the Constitution, as a salient, critical part of it.
The precepts and principles of Collectivism are inconsistent with the very existence of our Bill of Rights, as a clear and categorical codification of fundamental, natural, and unalienable rights. So, the Bill of Rights is slowly being criticized, and portions, like the Second Amendment, in particular, reviled. Nothing in the U.S. Constitution is sacred to the radical Left. Every part of the Constitution is subject to criticism, change, withering, even abrogation.
The Collectivists are openly critical of the very idea that certain rights–indeed, that any right–is to be, or can rationally be deemed natural, fundamental, and unalienable. For them, all rights are created by and therefore bestowed on the citizenry by Government. And, what Government bestows on a person is solely within the prerogative of Government, according to the Collectivist belief system, to take away.

Thus, Collectivists relentlessly attack the notion of the right of the people to keep and bear arms. They are adamant in their refusal to accept the idea that the right of the people to keep and bear arms exists– or is even capable of existing–independent of Government authorization.

But, there is reason why Collectivists refuse to countenance the notion of the right of the people to keep and bear arms as fundamental, natural, and immutable, quite apart from their rejection of natural law. To the Collectivist, an armed citizenry is an inherent danger to Society. As the Collectivist theorizes, a safe and secure society is one under absolute Governmental control, one under constant supervision and surveillance. So Collectivists remonstrate not only against the existence of an armed citizenry but against the right of unconstrained freedom of speech and freedom of association. And, they attack the basic idea that the American citizen has an unalienable right to be secure in their person and possessions from unreasonable searches and seizures.
Collectivists place their sole faith and trust in Government, not in the citizenry. They presume that the citizen cannot be trusted. Contrariwise, the founders placed trust in and their faith in the individual, a sentient being endowed with an immortal soul, by a Divine, Loving Creator. For the founders, it is, then, Government that should not, and cannot be trusted. Thus, the founders designed and implemented a Constitution establishing a Government of limited power, authority, and reach; incorporating into the Constitution, a Bill of Rights, setting forth an expansive set of fundamental, natural, and immutable rights and liberties to be retained solely by the people, in the people themselves, beyond the power of Government to diminish or abrogate.
The Collectivists in this Country are, however, humbled and respectful not at all by the singular achievement of our Nation's founders. These Collectivists are actively pursuing an agenda aimed at undoing the Constitutional Republic, grounded in a Constitution that has served the American people well for over two hundred years, and they are absolutely committed to seeing their bizarre vision for this Country come to fruition. We must make sure they don't succeed.
