CNN made it official Monday, firing commentator Donna Brazile (shown) for giving Hillary Clinton questions in advance of debates with Bernie Sanders during the Democratic primaries. The avidly pro-Clinton network was virtually forced to sever ties with Brazile by the new revelations from the latest WikiLeaks dump of John Podesta’s hacked e-mails. Podesta, the longtime adviser/crony/fixer for Bill and Hillary Clinton, and currently chairman of Hillary’s election campaign, has now seen over 39,000 of his e-mails released by the WikiLeaks hacktivists, and they have been very revealing indeed, exposing the corruption, dirty tricks, and criminality of the Clinton political machine .
Brazile, a veteran Democratic Party hack, has been serving as interim chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) since July, when then-DNC chair Rep. Deborah Wasserman Schultz, was forced to resign in an e-mail scandal that exposed Wasserman Schultz and other DNC officials blatantly taking sides with Clinton and sabotaging Sanders, in violation of DNC rules to maintain neutrality in primary campaigns.
As the Podesta e-mails reveal, Brazile was involved in those same ethics violations, extending to violating the rules for the televised debates. The Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD), which sponsored the debates, states on its website: “All debates will be moderated by a single individual and will run from 9:00-10:30 p.m. Eastern Time without commercial breaks. As always, the moderators alone will select the questions to be asked, which are not known to the CPD or to the candidates.”
However, that obviously was not the case, as Brazile was providing Team Clinton with a heads-up ofdebate questions in advance. The first Brazile e-mail to leak out concerned the televised CNN-TV One Town Hall event on March 13 of this year. The day before, Brazile sent an e-mail to Clinton’s director of communications, Jennifer Palmieri, saying she’s worried about “HRC” (Hillary Rodham Clinton) facing a question on the death penalty. The subject heading of her e-mail was: “Re: From time to time I get the questions in advance.”
Here is the e-mail, as provided by WikiLeaks:
On Mar 12, 2016, at 4:39 PM, Donna Brazile <donna@brazileassociates.com>; wrote:
Here’s one that worries me about HRC.
DEATH PENALTY
19 states and the District of Columbia have banned the death penalty. 31 states, including Ohio, still have the death penalty. According to the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty, since 1973, 156 people have been on death row and later set free. Since 1976, 1,414 people have been executed in the U.S. That’s 11% of Americans who were sentenced to die, but later exonerated and freed. Should Ohio and the 30 other states join the current list and abolish the death penalty?
Sent from Donna’s I Pad. Follow me on twitter @donnabrazile
The following day, on the CNN-TV One Town Hall, co-moderated by CNN’s Jake Tapper and TV One’s Roland Martin, Hillary Rodham Clinton was indeed asked a question about the death penalty, by audience member Ricky Jackson — and HRC had a scripted answer ready and waiting. We, the public, did not find out that the game had been rigged until months later, when WikiLeaks released the incriminating e-mail on October 11. Nevertheless, even after the WikiLeaks release, most of the establishment media ignored the Brazile-Podesta-Palmieri skullduggery in favor of bashing Donald Trump over unsubstantiated, sensationalist charges of sexual harassment. For nearly two weeks, Donna Brazile was allowed to wave off the e-mail evidence with diversionary tactics and charges that the e-mails are fabrications by WikiLeaks and Russian intelligence.
However, on October 20 Brazile was skewered on Fox News by a relentless Megyn Kelly, who refused to let her weasel her way through another interview. Not that the DNC chair didn’t try; Brazile kept going to script, using every diversion she could muster to avoid answering the direct, careful questions put to her by the Fox anchor.
She tried the Christian/persecution diversion: “As a Christian woman I understand persecution, but I will not sit here and be persecuted,” Brazile told Megyn Kelly.
She tried the “poisoned fruit” diversion: “Podesta’s emails were stolen. You’re so interested in talking about stolen material, you’re like a thief that wanna bring into the night the things that are in the gutter.”
She tried the motor-mouth/repetition diversion, the total innocence diversion, and much more.
It was still more of the same patently absurd denial and rehearsed propaganda by Brazile when Kelly confronted her with the undercover video stings of top Democratic dirty tricks operatives Scott Foval and Bob Creamer, who were caught red-handed boasting of rigging elections and admitting to inciting violence at Trump rallies.
Incredibly, Brazile insisted to Megyn Kelly that “I always play ‘straight up’ and I’m going to be ‘straight up’ with you.” However, it was painfully clear by the end of the Fox “interview” that “straight up” Donna Brazile is as weasely and deceitful as “Crooked Hillary.”
It is noteworthy that during her Fox News interview, when Megyn Kelly repeatedly asked her where she got the advance debate questions, Brazile fatuously insisted that she had “never” received any questions from CNN. She continued repeating the same lines even when Kelly asked her directly if the questions had come not from CNN itself but from Roland Martin, the former CNN commentator who now works for TV One and co-moderated the Town Hall event.
In the same e-mail thread of March 12 cited above, Brazile responded to a reply from Jennifer Palmieri. Brazile told Palmieri: “I’ll send a few more [debate questions]. Though some questions Roland submitted.” That would seem to be a very solid “clue” that Roland Martin was the source and Brazile was the conduit to Podesta and the Clinton Campaign.
Politico reporter Hadas Gold reported on October 12 that Politico had obtained an e-mail of March 12 from Roland Martin to CNN debate producers with the identical death penalty question that appeared in Brazile’s March 12 e-mail to Palmieri. What’s more, it was Roland Martin who introduced Ricky Jackson, the pre-selected, pre-scripted “audience” member who asked the rigged question about the death penalty.
As Gold reports, Martin initially denied that he had shared his questions “with anybody.” However, after being confronted with the fact that Politico possessed e-mail evidence to the contrary, he began walking the denial back to more ambiguous ground.
Media “Uncomfortable” but not Outraged — Deceit, Propaganda Continue
In an October 13 interview, Jake Tapper said he has “tremendous regard” for Brazile, but said the WikiLeaks revelation was “very, very troubling.” “It’s horrifying,” the CNN anchor said. “Journalistically it’s horrifying, and I’m sure it will have an impact on [CNN] partnering with this organization [TV One] in the future.”
The following day, on October 14, CNN spokeswoman Lauren Pratapas stated that CNN hadn’t given Brazile the debate questions in advance and announced Brazile had resigned from the network. “CNN never gave Brazile access to any questions, prep material, attendee list, background information or meetings in advance of a town hall or debate,” Pratapas said in a written statement. “We are completely uncomfortable with what we have learned about her interactions with the Clinton campaign while she was a CNN contributor.”
The October 30 WikiLeaks release contains another Brazile-DNC-Podesta debate revelation, concerning the March 6 debate in Flint, Michigan, where Democrat Party operatives and their media allies have transformed lead poisoning into a false national issue with which to clobber Republicans. The Clinton-Sanders Democratic primary debate was hosted by CNN and moderated by Anderson Cooper. (See the full debate here.)
The event was held in Flint at Clinton’s request, as she herself pointed out during the course of the debate. A Brazile e-mail from March 5 of this year to Podesta and Palmieri, is entitled: “One of the questions directed to HRC tomorrow is from a woman with a rash.”
“Her family has lead poison and she will ask what, if anything, will Hillary do as president to help the ppl of Flint” Brazile’s e-mail goes on to alert Hillary’s debate coaches. Sure enough, the lead poisoning question came up on cue, and HRC slammed in another easy homerun answer.
lead poison question
Yes, many in the pro-Clinton media industry are “uncomfortable” with the WikiLeaks revelations, but, judging from their continued overwhelmingly slanted coverage, the discomfort comes from being exposed, not from being disgusted with the serial cheating and lying of the Clinton camp and their media allies. There has been precious little outrage expressed by the pro-Clinton mainstream media elites of the kind and volume that would have gushed forth if the same rigging had been perpetrated by the Trump Campaign. There have been no media-orchestrated calls for TV One to fire Roland Martin, nor for the DNC to fire Donna Brazile, nor for Hillary Clinton to fire John Podesta and Jennifer Palmieri.
The Brazile-Podesta-Palmieri debate e-mails are damning, but, arguably, not as serious as the many other revelations concerning the Clinton family’s rampant criminality on national security matters such as Uranium One, and the “pay-to-play” wheeling-dealing at the HRC State Department and the Clinton Foundation. However, the WikiLeaks e-mails released thus far have shown an alarming willingness and ability of Hillary Rodham Clinton and her DNC-Big Media allies to rig the election debates. And the ones we’ve seen may be only the tip of the iceberg. If this is the case in the primaries, are Donald Trump’s charges about rigging the November 8 election really all that outlandish, as the pro-Clinton media choir would have us believe?

QUOTED VERBATIM FROM ARTICLE BELOW:
“We further encourage each and every reader to forward this article to everyone on his or her list, well BEFORE THE ELECTION. Time is of the essence. We know that Trump is not a perfect presidential candidate by any stretch, 
but Hillary Clinton will fundamentally destroy America with malice aforethought and with a crooked smile on her face and disdain in her heart. America will be conquered by globalism under a Clinton Monarchy. And as we all know, Bill and Hillary will profit handsomely from the destruction of America’s sovereignty and freedom.”

In our last article entitled, “Did Hillary Sacrifice the Benghazi Heroes for Money?” we wrote this:
“That the mainstream news media purposely ignores these associations and questionable past can only be construed as being complicit in a conspiracy with Hillary Clinton, or her handlers, in what appears to be a potential plot to take over America from the inside and hand it over to the world ruling class and the bankers.”
The ruling class (all politicians), mega corporations and central bankers are the globalists. Hillary is a globalist and does not care one whit about national sovereignty, or American exceptionalism, much less the U. S. Constitution. She and Bill only care about power and money and increasing that power and money by any means. Laws are only a minor inconvenience to them that can be overcome by buying off the government, law enforcement and the media, each co conspirators in the Clinton’s crooked game. Government is for sale to the highest bidder for Bill and Hillary. But then, government has always been for sale to the highest bidder since government was invented over 5,000 years ago. The only thing that keeps government from becoming corrupt and succumbing to the highest bidder is the people. But history has shown that most people don’t care, so they get corrupt government by their own in-action.
But it is even worse than what we describe.
We just received a report stating that the world debt now stands at $152 Trillion, a totally un-payable debt. Some experts put the total world debt at $230 Trillion. It is reasonable to assume that the total debt does not include massive unfunded liabilities for future promises made by the politicians in exchange for votes, especially in America and Europe. Balance the total world debt against a nominal World Gross Product (WGP) of $75 Trillion. As many have said, the debt is unsustainable. There is no economy on the planet big enough to pay off this debt, even America’s. The governments of the planet are bankrupt and their only answer is to add more debt by central bankers printing more worthless money. (Debt is just another word for slavery.)
Some of the debt comes from wars, but most of the debt is caused by the use of public money (taxes) in exchange for votes for left-leaning politicians, politicians who discovered that they could stay in power by exploiting human weakness with “other people’s money.” It’s called socialism, or more correctly, the “full employment act” for liberal politicians.
As Maggy Thatcher said ….. “Socialism works until it runs out of other people’s money.” The world has run out of other people’s money and is only left with debt, a debt that can only be paid by seizing all of the people’s private assets, if the debt is ever to be re-paid. Government will eventually seize those assets and the people won’t stop the government because the people are, for the most part, cowards.
But when the debt bubble bursts, massive famine and World War III are distinct possibilities. After the famine and wars are over, the globalists will then move in to seal the deal on one-world-government and some form of communism or socialism will be the new government, unless of course the cancer of radical Islam doesn’t kill us off first. With the weapons of mass destruction that now exist, it won’t be hard to keep the world population in control (enslaved), by whatever form of world government is finally created. If you will remember, after World War II, world governments created the United Nations, the first step to globalization. What will be created after World War III?
Besides globalism, the threats to freedom and American sovereignty just keep coming. In the title we mentioned that, “Radical Islam will kill us.” The move to infiltrate Islam and Sharia law into the American institutions of government is well underway and has been for some time. The Trojan horse implementing this infiltration is the Muslim Brotherhood, an organization that has been supported by none other than Hillary Clinton and Barack Hussein Obama, the closet Muslim President of the United States. The Muslim Brotherhood is already well entrenched in North America.
From one source we learned that: “The Muslim Brotherhood is an Islamic organization founded in Ismailia, Egypt by Hassan al-Banna in March 1928 as an Islamist religious, political, and social movement. Al-Banna was a schoolteacher, to promote implementing traditional, religious, Islamic, Sharia law into government and a social regression based on an Islamic ethos of altruism and civic duty, in opposition to what he saw as political and social injustice and to British imperial rule. The organization initially focused on educational and charitable work, but quickly grew to become a major political force as well, by championing the cause of disenfranchised classes, playing a prominent role in the Egyptian nationalist movement, and promoting a conception of Islam that attempted to restore broken links between tradition and modernity.”
The Brotherhood’s ominous mission statement is quite clear:
“The process of settlement is a ‘Civilization-Jihadist Process’ with all the word means. The ‘Ikhwan’ (the Islamic brethren, a Wahhabi religious militia) must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ’sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.”
The American group CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations) has direct ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and supports the radical Palestine terrorist group, Hamas, a group funded by terrorist-exporter Iran and followers of the Muslim Brotherhood. Based on CAIR’s history, “its major goal seems to be silencing and de-legitimizing its critics.”
But the attack on America doesn’t stop there. American communists/socialists have taken over the unions and the Democrat Party. Many members of Congress are card-carrying members of the Communist Party and its many affiliates, like the Democrat Socialists of America (DSA). At least 11 members of Congress that we know of are members of the DSA. To-wit: “John Conyers[Chairman of the Judiciary Committee], Tammy Baldwin, Jerrold Nadler, Luis Gutierrez, Melvin Watt, Maxine Waters, Hank Johnson, Steve Cohen, Barbara Lee, Robert Wexler, Linda Sanchez [there are 23 Democrats on the Judiciary Committee of which eleven, almost half, are now members of the DSA].” These Congressmen and women are outright communists and have influence over American public policy and legislation.
To understand where the DSA is coming from, one only needs to read Article II, “Our Purpose”, of the DSA Constitution:
“We are socialists because we reject an economic order based on private profit, alienated labor, gross inequalities of wealth and power, discrimination based on race and sex, and brutality and violence in defense of the status quo. We are socialists because we share a vision of a humane social order based on popular control of resources and production, economic planning, equitable distribution, feminism, racial equality and non-oppressive relationships. We are socialists because we are developing a concrete strategy for achieving that vision, for building a majority movement that will make democratic socialism a reality in America. We believe that such a strategy must acknowledge the class structure of American society and that this class structure means that there is a basic conflict of interest between those sectors with enormous economic power and the vast majority of the population.”
Bernie Sanders garnered millions of votes, mostly from naive millenials, touting the socialist/communist line. Bernie’s early history included meetings with Russian and Nicaraguan Communists. The Democrat Party and Hillary moved radically left to capture Bernie voters.
The Revolutionary Communist Party has been instrumental in fomenting agitation in places like Oakland, New York City, Missouri, Ferguson and Baltimore over the alleged shootings or mistreatment of Blacks by police. The communists and the socialists can only survive by participating in the breakdown of civil society. But they can also survive by having socialist policies passed into law by government institutions, like the U. S. Congress.
Wealthy socialist Progressives like George Soros, have funded the Black Lives Matter movement to the tune of millions of dollars, a movement that has taken the honored tradition of peaceful protesting to the next level, anarchy. The Black Lives Matter movement is just a re-birth of the radical Black Panthers.
Hillary and Bill Clinton and much of the Democrat Party are tied directly to globalism, radical environmentalism, the climate change fraud, Black Lives Matter, communism, socialism and the Muslim Brotherhood, which seek to overthrow and “fundamentally transform” America (Obama’s exact words) into a third-world socialist nation that will be forced to knuckle under to a world ruling class elite, made up of politicians, central bankers and industrialists.
So much of what we have written here has been documented in a Movie entitled, “Enemies Within.” The Movie was written and produced by Trevor Loudon and directed by movie maker Judd Saul of Iowa. Executive Producers include Dennis Jackson and Kyle Kyllan. Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck and several other conservatives, have promoted this powerful, revealing Movie.
We have paraphrased the DVD Trailer for the Movie: “Enemies Within zooms in on the best-kept secret of modern politics. Almost no one is aware of the fact that fewer than 20,000 U. S. communists, socialists and extreme ‘Progressives’ are able to influence the politicians and even write the laws that control the lives of over 300 million Americans. They have infiltrated the Democrat Party and the unions, they have used their lackeys in the Congress to ram through a radical socialist, communist and a union agenda, they have severely eased voting requirements and engaged in voter fraud, they have introduced mass educational indoctrination and have gutted our military.”
We have seen the Movie in its entirety and even with all we know about what is going on, we came away shocked to the core. If even half of what is exposed in the Movie is true, it spells the end of America, as envisioned by the Founders, if one of the people they document in the Movie, Hillary Rodham Clinton, becomes president of the United States.
If you are truly interested, and you should be, you can order the DVD HERE. We encourage every one of our readers to take the time to view the Movie, before the election, if at all possible.
We further encourage each and every reader to forward this article to everyone on his or her list, well BEFORE THE ELECTION. Time is of the essence. We know that Trump is not a perfect presidential candidate by any stretch, but Hillary Clinton will fundamentally destroy America with malice aforethought and with a crooked smile on her face and disdain in her heart. America will be conquered by globalism under a Clinton Monarchy. And as we all know, Bill and Hillary will profit handsomely from the destruction of America’s sovereignty and freedom.
On the other hand, Trump may actually be able to save America from the slide into socialism and global slavery. He may even be able to vigorously stir the pot and disrupt the establishment so bad, that the slide will be stopped in its tracks. At this point, what do Americans have to lose, except just about everything?
But then of course, if no one does ANYTHING, the globalists WILL enslave us and radical Islam will go on KILLING us.
We have put together a “LIST OF CONSTITUTIONAL DEMANDS“ to government that if not met, all the things we predict in this article will come to pass. At that point the only viable alternative left to free Americans is the solution provided by the Declaration of Independence.
Please let us know that you FORWARDED the article. Constructive comments are welcome.

THE MOST DANGEROUS THING TRUMP SAID DURING SECOND DEBATE~BILLY BUSH SUSPENDED BY NBC FOR CONVERSING WITH TRUMP

THE MOST DANGEROUS THING TRUMP SAID DURING SECOND DEBATE

October 11, 2016NewsWithViews.com
While it greatly pains me, I tuned into FOX and lucky me, I got Megyn Kelly. As usual she had that giggly ‘I can hardly wait’ demeanor as if this were some kind of entertainment once seen in old days of the Roman Empire featuring gladiators.
Trump came out at the same time as Clinton. In all honesty he looked like warmed over paste. He was pale and judging by his sniffling, Trump might have a cold. How human. Unlike his usual self, Trump did not look relaxed. He looked, justifiably so in my opinion, very angry.
Clinton’s body language told a lot. She was so stiff and the smirking smile on her face was plastered there throughout the 90 + minutes. To me she looked medicated to the hilt which would account for her dragging responses. Several times she made sure she was close enough to use her chair to keep upright. As Trump walked around behind her my impression was Clinton expected him to take a whack at her; fear. Absurd, but then again we’re dealing with with someone always looking over her shoulder from the long arm of the law.
Something else that I believe greatly affected that vile creature. Prior to the actual debate, Trump called a news conference and played the disgraced media. Again.
“The women—Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey and Juanita Broaddrick—have each leveled various charges against Bill Clinton. They also each have charged that Hillary Clinton was an “enabler” of Bill Clinton’s behavior in exclusive interviews with Breitbart News’ Aaron Klein published on Sunday. In addition, Kathy Shelton—who was allegedly raped when she was 12 years old, while Hillary Clinton defended her accused rapist—spoke as well.”
Hillary cannot hide the audio of her laughing about how she gamed the system and got Shelton’s rapist off the hook. How ugly. Juanita Broaddrick has never deviated from the account of when and how Billy Clinton raped her. The Democratic/Communist Party USA’s media has spent decades trying to cover up or lessen Billy’s four decades of sexual debauchery and serial cheating but now it’s all over the place.
“CBS News’ veteran anchor Bob Schieffer expressed outrage Sunday that Republican nominee Donald Trump focused attention on the women who accused former President Bill Clinton of rape and sexual assault. How have we come to this? This is supposed to be a campaign for the most powerful office of the land. Here we’re marching in women into the hall who supposed to have some relationship with one of the candidate’s spouses. What’s that supposed to prove?”
“The “relationships” that the women had with Bill Clinton allegedly included rape and violent sexual assault.”
“So, you can say anyway you want to say it, but Bill Clinton was abusive to women. Hillary Clinton attacked those same women. Attacked them viciously. Four of them are here tonight. One of the women, who is a wonderful woman, at 12 years old, was raped at 12. Her client, she represented, got him off, and she’s seen laughing on two separate occasions, laughing at the girl who was raped.
“But what President Clinton did, he was impeached, he lost his license to practice law, he had to pay an $850,000 fine to one of the women, Paula Jones, who’s also here tonight, and I will tell you that when Hillary brings up a point like that, and she talks about words that I said 11 years ago, I think it’s disgraceful and I think she should be ashamed of herself, if you really want to know the truth.” Hillary declined to address Trump’s specific accusations, instead firing back: “So much of what he said is not right, but he gets to run his campaign any way he chooses.”
What can she say? Hillary Clinton has been Billy’s enabler for almost 4 decades.
Those women were in the audience which had to have irked Clinton to no end. Clinton had to carry on knowing those four women were in the audience watching her every move. Billy Clinton had to sit there like an elephant on a telephone pole.
Her serial cheating husband and rapist has been dogged across the country at speaking engagements with people holding up signs that say Clinton is a rapist. Of course, being Slick Willy, the former president just brushes it off as if the charges are no more serious than not having enough butter on his toast.
As most everyone has written or remarked on the boob tube or radio, the first 30 minutes were tense. So tense you could slice the air with a butter knife. Trump apologized again for his foul language during that 11-year old conversation with Billy Bush, who by the way has now been indefinitely suspended by NBC. Trump also, at least to me, was doing a lot of thinking while walking around at the beginning while Hillary blathered on and when the moment came he pounced on her lies and incompetence.
Trump pinned her down on the disaster over in the Middle East – from the transcript:
TRUMP: “By the way, just so you understand, when she said 3 o’clock in the morning, take a look at Benghazi. She said who is going to answer the call at 3 o’clock in the morning? Guess what? She didn’t answer it, because when Ambassador Stevens…
COOPER: “The question is, is that the discipline of a good leader?
TRUMP: … “600 — wait a minute, Anderson, 600 times. Well, she said she was awake at 3 o’clock in the morning, and she also sent a tweet out at 3 o’clock in the morning, but I won’t even mention that. But she said she’ll be awake. Who’s going — the famous thing, we’re going to answer our call at 3 o’clock in the morning. Guess what happened? Ambassador Stevens — Ambassador Stevens sent 600 requests for help. And the only one she talked to was Sidney Blumenthal, who’s her friend and not a good guy, by the way. So, you know, she shouldn’t be talking about that.”
What Trump was referring to is 600 times additional security was requested during Clinton’s time as Secty of State for personnel over in Libya and each time it was denied. Four Americans died while defiant Hillary says,” What difference could it possibly make now?” The difference you witch is your complete and utter failure while playing Secretary of State causing the deaths of four Americans.
NEW YORK – “A video obtained by WND from Libyan sources shows a fighter aligned with the jihadists supported by then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton beheading a defenseless taxi driver shortly before the terrorist attack on Sept. 11, 2011, in Benghazi that resulted in the deaths of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.
“WND previously published three videos that also demonstrate the extreme brutality unleashed by the mercenaries and Islamic fighters who joined Libyan-based jihadists to oust leader Moammar Gadhafi with the backing of Hillary Clinton’s State Department and NATO.
“The videos, obtained through a trusted source, were vetted by Libyan tribal parliamentary leaders who spoke to WND. The Libyans verified the videos were taken in Libya in the weeks after the U.S.-backed NATO bombing that began in 2011. As WND has reported, Clinton’s State Department had decided to rebuff offers Gadhafi had made to abdicate peacefully and avoid a war. And, meanwhile, the Obama administration is moving to drop charges against an arms dealer who had threatened to expose Hillary Clinton’s determination to arm anti-Gadhafi rebels.
“The Libyan tribal parliamentary leaders, in an exclusive Skype interview published by WND on Sept. 21, characterized Clinton as the “Butcher of Libya.” They contended her State Department was “behind the terrorist groups controlling Libya, Ansar al-Sharia, behind the militia in Misurata who destroyed a great part of Libya and displaced 2 million people from their lands because they were accused of being loyal to Gadhafi.” Rest at link.
The rest of the debate, about one hour, Trump wiped her face with the floor. Of course it didn’t help Hildebeast when a fly landed on her face. As others have pointed out, Clinton didn’t so much as flinch where most people try to bat flies away. Then again, if one is doped up they might not have felt it. The criminal impostor in the White House’s face over the years has been a frequent landing strip for flies.
Trump went after Clinton for, as he put it, bleaching her email servers. Comey and co-conspirators covered up her crimes:
If you didn’t see the debate the full transcript is here.
Last year Trump said Hillary Clinton belongs in jail: Trump: If Hillary Were Republican, ‘She’d Already Be in Jail’, August 20, 2015
“If a Republican becomes president, Trump said, “hopefully” Clinton will face charges, but then “you have a statute of limitations of five or six years. Hillary might have to win this election because if a Republican wins, I would imagine that their attorney general and their people are going to be their various prosecutors, because it goes on for years after the election.” So, as a result, Clinton “might be fighting for her life in more ways than one,” said Trump, as “what she did is probably criminal. I think almost you could say it’s almost certainly criminal.”
Last night Trump not only called her a liar in front of the whole world, he repeated she would be in jail for what she’s done (Trump: I’ll Have Special Prosecutor For Clinton Email, ‘You’d Be In Jail’). That is a very dangerous thing for him to say. While it is the truth, the Clinton’s play to the death, literally. Trump has been wearing a bullet proof vest since July 2015 for a reason. His life is in danger every time he steps out of Trump Towers. Trump humiliated Clinton last night badly in front of the whole world.
As I wrote in an earlier column, if Trump is elected I believe Loretta Lynch will bail as Attorney General. I believe she should also be indicted for obstruction of Justice. One would think Trump would quietly ask for James Comey’s resignation as FBI chief. Trump would become a hero of this country if he appoints a new AG and FBI Director (who pass the senate) that open a real investigation and/or refer Clinton’s email disaster as well as the Clinton Foundation to a special prosecutor.
THAT’s what Hillary Clinton fears more than anything else Trump throws at her. Even ‘Teflon Don’ John Gotti’s luck ran out; he died in prison. Trump will not forget what Clinton’s henchmen have done to him. Likewise, Hillary will not forget the lashing she took Sunday night by Trump.
Republicans in the House are not going to give up on their investigations. Clinton doesn’t care about them as long as Lynch and Comey remain in their jobs and, God forbid, she is elected. It’s Trump in the White House that scares her and her masters. Hillary Clinton is a globalist who will go into the Oval Office with one goal and that is the total and complete destruction of our sovereign nation. Open borders, trade agreements that reduce us to rags made in other countries, continued massive unemployment and more. Like promising to raise taxes on the middle class (while the zombies at her event clapped and nodded their empty heads) and put all coal miners out of work. Yes, she said those things.
Hillary Clinton will take us into WWIII make no mistake about that. She is an incompetent buffoon who is a legend in her own mind. Her comments about Putin and Trump are completely false. One thing that is true: Neither Trump or Putin want their countries sucked into a one world order under global domination.
Trump is the train coming at her and as cool as she likes to play it, don’t think she isn’t sweating buckets. Trump is dead serious and that makes him a big target. Bed wetters like Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell and all the other holier-than-thous can keep throwing their tantrums and work towards getting Hillary Clinton in office. But, this movement created by Trump grows by the day and his promise to clean out the vermin makes him very dangerous. It also makes him very popular with the American people.

BILL JOHNSON’S BETHEL CHURCH, CALIFORNIA: PIMPING HERESY

Bethel Church: Pimping Heresy
BY BUD AHLHEIM
SEE: http://pulpitandpen.org/2016/10/07/bethel-church-pimping-heresy/; republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
“That very church which the world likes best is sure to be that which God abhors.”  Charles Spurgeon
Bethel Church of Redding, California was founded in 1952 and was affiliated with the Assemblies of God until 2006, when current pastor Bill Johnson led the church to dissociate itself from the denomination. The current attendance at Bethel’s Redding location is just under 8,700 each Sunday. The now denominationally independent church operates on a $9 million annual budget.
But Bethel’s impact in terms of numbers of souls it touches is far beyond the confines of its Redding headcounts. Bethel is, like Hillsong, an international influence, gaining traction for the prosperity/dominion theology that undergirds it through the primary mechanism of music.
In March 2016, Billboard Magazine noted that, since its first top ten hit on the Top Christian Albums ranking, Bethel Music has had a total of nine Top Ten appearances since that initial 2012 entrance. The album Have It All: Live At Bethel Church sold 25,000 copies in the first week of its release, placing it at number two on the Top Christian Albums chart and taking the twelfth spot on the overall Billboard 200.
According to the local Redding Record Searchlight, as reported on October 24, 2015, “Bethel Music’s album sales have increased 95% since the label launched five and a half years ago, from 22,000 to about 435,000 in 2014, label director Joel Taylor said. Revenue has gone from $200,000 to $8.5 million in that same time period.”
Not bad for a five-year-old band. But even better for the charismatic, NAR charlatanry that is Bethel Church.
billjohnsonBethel’s lead pastor, Bill Johnson, who is acknowledged by C. Peter Wagner as a modern day apostle, is more than knee-deep in the heretical New Apostolic Reformation. According to Mark Galli, Editor of Christianity Today (CT), a fused mixture of dominion, or “kingdom now,” theology along with the typical charismatic prosperity gospel fare serves as the theological underpinning of Bethel. In 1996 when Johnson agreed to take the helm of the then AOG congregation in Redding, it was on the basis that the church agree to his particular vision of revival, one that, as a CT feature article noted, “emphasizes God’s supernatural presence through signs and wonders.”
Among the many “ministries” offered by the Redding campus is the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry. Headed by Johnson’s nearly four-decade sidekick, Kris Vallotton, the BSSM started in 1998 with 36 students. According to its website, today it enrolls nearly 2,000 students in a non-accredited program that trains them to become “revivalists.” The training, of course, emphasizes heavy doses of Holy Spirit charisma exhibited not only by tongues but also by healing the sick and prophesying. Evidently, for Bethel, those supernatural “gifts of the Spirit” (which are no longer biblically valid, by the way) don’t need to be gifted by God; for about $4,500 a year Bethel can give them to you.
Perhaps the most glaring example of Biblically-illicit supernatural pursuits by Bethel and its BSSM is the issue of raising the dead. Responding to what can’t be nearly enough Bethel critics, the school’s founder, Vallotton, wrote about the “Dead Raising Team” that was comprised of “some of the students of the Supernatural School of Ministry.” In an article from Charisma Magazine, February 27, 2012, he wrote:
“Another subject that has drawn a lot of attention recently is dead raising. I need to be honest; I have personally never raised anyone from the dead although I have tried twice. But here again Jesus said, “And as you go, preach, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons….,” (Matthew 10:7-8). Contextually, Jesus is only speaking to twelve disciples, but the truth is that a large portion of what Jesus taught was only given to twelve guys. And almost all of Paul’s epistles were written to specific groups of people, yet we still understand that most of what he penned applies to us today. Furthermore, Jesus commanded His guys to make disciples of all nations by, “teaching them to observe all I commanded you…”(Matthew 28:19-20)
Some of the students from the Supernatural School of Ministry read this verse and decided to go down to the morgue and “practice” raising the dead! Crazy? Maybe, but I admire their faith and their guts. It wasn’t Bill or me who gave them the idea, they were actually inspired by reading the Bible. Evidently, they thought they should believe what Jesus said. They definitely have more faith and courage than I do. So far they haven’t raised anyone at the mortuary from the dead, but it hasn’t deterred them a bit. I have heard of some students from another school that started a DRT team. You guessed it, the letters stand for Dead Raising Team! I really don’t know if they have had any success yet. I do know of several Christians who have raised the dead. Radical? Yeah! But hopefully if you’re born again, you believe that you will be raised from the dead someday so you can go to heaven.” (Emphasis Added)
The Biblically-aberrant, exegetical horrors taught by Bethel, such that resurrection powers are to be presumed for all believers, being put aside, the culture of the church is one that is defiantly non-orthodox and non-biblical. There are, indeed, stories of the sick being miraculously healed – Bethel operates “The Healing Room” ministry specifically for that (it’s reputed to have even had success in dentistry, with new gold teeth being Holy Spirit-installed) – but the overarching choreography of Bethel is experiential. It goes to any lengths to facilitate your Holy Spirit encounter.
The Word itself takes a backseat to a Holy Ghost experience. Contributing to your experience, Bethel has produced such Hollywood effects as “glory of God” gold dust that appears during particularly Spirit-rich worship meetings or the “angel feathers” that have been reported as miraculously appearing, confirming, of course, the presence of God. So experience-driven and Word-avoiding are the faithful at Bethel that it is reported that Johnson’s wife, Beni, engages in “grave sucking,” a maneuver that presumably allows one to absorb “the spiritual anointing of deceased Christians by lying atop their graves.” (Source)
Now, pause for a moment and use a bit of Biblically-informed common sense. For the Christian, there are two supernatural forces at work in the world. There is, of course, our Sovereign, Creator God who has given us a revelation of Himself and His expectations of us in His Word. Those whom He has saved are eternally secure in Christ. The other, much lesser, and already defeated, power is the current ruler of the world. (1 John 5:21) He seeks to “steal and kill and destroy.” (John 10:10) He is the father of lies.  (John 8:44) And he can, and does, “disguise himself as an angel of light” (2 Corinthians 11:14), his false teachings brought by wolves in sheep’s clothing as Christ warned inMatthew 7:15.
27178584Which force is at work at Bethel? Its anti-biblical, false theology is not just a slight departure from Christian orthodoxy. You can’t even see the narrow path from the wide road of heresy that Bethel trods. Bethel’s teaching more closely reflects a pagan, new age fusion of mysticism and spiritualism (perhaps that’s why their “Alabaster Prayer Room” features a glowing red pyramid atop its building) than Christianity, though they do slather their presentation in (wrongly used) Scripture. Indeed, as Phil Johnson of Grace To You commented, Bethel “constitutes a whole different message from biblical Christianity,” one that is “totally devoid of any true and consistent proclamation of the gospel.” (Source)
If a church proclaims a message not substantiated by Scripture, then what is the source of that message? Right. Bethel is not of God, but, as Christ admonished the Pharisees, “you are of your father, the devil.” (John 8:44)  This is the seriousness of false teaching. If it is not Scriptural, it is not of God. If it is not of God, it can only be one thing … evil … and thus a false message, enamoring and embraceable though it may be, is yet damning to adherents. The job of the believer in spiritual warfare is to expose the error and contend for the truth. (Ephesians 5:11, Jude 3)
Bethel’s appeal, especially to young people, in its experience-focused faux Christianity is not fixed merely by the boundaries of its Redding, California campus or on the discernment-free frequencies of the nearest Christian radio channel. In a superstar idolizing culture, the celebrity “Christians” that Bethel, like Hillsong, churns out provide a logical “I wanna be like them” model for enamored fans. Following the faith path of a Bethel celebrity doesn’t lead to the cross, however, but to a gospel-void, feelings-focused faux form of faith based on “signs and wonders” that does not save or sanctify. Bethel’s theology damns.
But don’t think that you, your church, or the prone-to-celebrity-worship youth you might care about are relatively immune to Bethel’s influence. While Bethel Music has a vigorous tour schedule, and while their tunes are readily available on the airwaves, they also are infiltrating – by invitation – churches you just might never expect to see them show up.
screen-shot-2016-10-06-at-2-29-26-pmBethel Music goes on tour. They may be coming to a town near you. Living in the Jacksonville, Florida area, I’ve been the regular recent recipient of targeted Facebook ads for the upcoming Bethel “worship night” at a wanna-be, doctrinally-loose, mega-church in my area. There are, in fact, on Bethel Music’s website nearly a dozen “come and worship with us” events listed for the remainder of 2016.
But the tours, hosted in local churches, under such spiritually monikered event names like the Come Near Conference in Warsaw, Indiana, or the Divine Conference in Gainesville, GA or the Encounter in Phoenix, AZ are not the only places the insipid theology of Bethel makes its inroads into non-charismatic churches. As we’d expect, there are plenty of charismatic churches that deny Scripture and embrace spiritual emotionalism eager to host the band of a co-conspiring charlatanic church. But Bethel doesn’t stop there.  Through their multi-million dollar, chart-topping music “ministry,” Bethel’s reach goes beyond merely the hometeam fan base of charismania.

Bethel invades even non-charismatic churches. A Southern Baptist Church in my area recently hosted a conference that featured Leeland, an artist from the Bethel Music Collective.  Now, this is a church in good standing within the SBC and the Florida Baptist Convention, active in local association activities. It’s a typical conservative Southern Baptist church. While this particular SBC church does, in fact, preach the Gospel, (Not all SBC churches do that) what it doesn’t do is exercise biblically commanded discernment. Else it would never have invited to its conference the musical agent of a drastically divergent and theologically damning church like Bethel.  “Have nothing to do with them” means HAVE-NOTHING-TO-DO-WITH-THEM.  (Ephesians 5:11, Romans 16:17-18)
(In multiple attempts to reach the host church’s pastor prior to the event – at which at least two other Jacksonville area SBC pastors participated – I was unable to elicit a response.)
Bethel puts its musical charlatans out for hire. Seventeen artists (shown below) are listed as available for booking. As evidenced by the example in my area, these agents of heresy aren’t being hired just by the holy-roller, pew-hopper churches. They’re showing up in conservative Baptist churches. Denial of the authority and sufficiency of Scripture isn’t just a charismatic problem; Baptists do it too.

When Martin Luther stated that “the pulpit is the throne for the Word of God,” and we consider that the enemy’s initial – and subsequently persistent – attack was on that Word, it can be little surprise to the authentic believer that the church is ground zero for Satan’s attacks. If the church is where the Word is (or should be) pre-eminent, you can be certain the threat of its twisting, contorting, and mishandling will be a paramount endeavor of the father of lies.  Satan lusts over pulpits.
As Southern Baptist evangelist Vance Havner once so aptly warned, believers – and especially pastors – must be wary of the influence of false teaching entering the flock. Wolves are not at bay; they are in the pews. And now, as is seen with the evil of Bethel, even Southern Baptist churches are inviting them in to lead worship and stand in pulpits.  (One of the for- hire options you must indicate for booking a Bethel artist is “Type of Ministry Requested;” do you want them either for “teaching” or for “worship?”)
“The devil is not fighting religion; he’s too smart for that. He’s producing a counterfeit Christianity so much like the real one that good Christians are afraid to speak out against it.”  Vance Havner
In the local example, did the host pastor, or those pastors standing on the dais, know what insipid, damning theology Bethel represents?  Did they know a representative of heresy had been invited to the conference?  Were they worried that a young attendee might be eager to know more about the exciting, experience-intense worship leader, and follow the thread of deception that leads to the diabolical, twisted theology of Bethel? Was any concern given to Paul’s rhetorical rebuff to the Corinthians – and to us – “what fellowship has light with darkness?” (2 Corinthians 6:14)
Perhaps the appropriate question for these pastors isn’t “did they know” but shouldn’t they have known? Were they just, perhaps like many today, so interested in getting and pleasing a crowd that practicing shepherd-expected discernment, watching over the souls of the flock, was justifiably avoidable? (Acts 20:28, Hebrews 13:17, 1 Peter 5:2)  Sadly, in this case, the shepherds didn’t fight off the wolf; they invited him in and shared a stage.
If a local Southern Baptist church isn’t immune to the deceiving influence of Bethel and its hire-a-charlatan music ministry, it’s cause for concern to genuine believers across the church world. It’s one thing that in the upper echelons of the SBC there is a clear disregard for the authority and sufficiency of Scripture, but that’s also occurring at the grassroots level too.  (Given the trends of late in the SBC, it may be going “full Benny” in any case.)
Who is your local pastor willing to hire or cooperate with in a spiritual endeavor? (Scripture forbids spiritual enterprises with unbelievers and false teachers, by the way; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 is a good example) If you’d balk should your pastor share a ministry platform with the local leader of a Satanic temple, how much less concerned should you be that he’d share the stage with agents from diabolically-influenced, heresy-hurling churches? Just because something calls itself Christian doesn’t mean it is. The wolves, remember, look like sheep.  If a church intentionally teaches error, it is not of God. Christ said “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” (John 14:6)
“The pastor ought to have two voices: one for gathering the sheep and another for warding off and driving away wolves and thieves. The Scripture supplies him with the means of doing both.”  John Calvin
Please, be aware that the Bethel charlatans are pimping their heresy for hire. They’ve gotten in at least one otherwise conservative church. It’s how heresy spreads. Undetected. Slathered sufficiently in Scripture and Christian-ese so as to be unassuming and enamoring. The crowds love it, but as Spurgeon said, if the world loves a church, it’s a good bet that God hates it.
If you’re a pastor, do the diligent and biblically obedient thing; shepherd your flock by being both proclaimer of the Word and defender of the sheep. If you’re a Berean-obedient believer, support your pastor with discerning truth about the many drooling wolves who are eager for an invitation to dine on your flock.
This is not a game; it is not a concert; it is not an experience. It is about Truth. Eternal souls are jeopardized when believers do not stand and contend.  As J.C. Ryle said, “We have the truth and we need not be afraid to say so.”  Indeed, and we need not be afraid to defend it. It’s the task of every shepherd and of every believer.
Abide in the Word. (John 8:31) See to it that no one misleads you (Matthew 24:4) … even if they come with a hip, enticing tune.

UN PUSHES PLAN TO FORCE AMERICANS TO PAY REPARATIONS FOR SLAVERY

UN PUSHES PLAN TO FORCE AMERICANS TO PAY REPARATIONS FOR SLAVERY
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:



In a recent report, the United Nations criticized the United States for making “no real commitment to reparations and to truth and reconciliation for people of African descent” and laid out plans to access financial resources of the country to fix that purported failure.



Specifically, the Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent has been tasked with implementing a UN mandate aimed at “establishing a working group or other mechanism of the United Nations to study the problems of racial discrimination faced by people of African descent.” The group’s progress is to be reported to the United Nations Human Rights Council and the General Assembly.



This particular mandate of the global government-in-waiting is divided up into six activities that should be accomplished by 2017, the last year of the Working Group’s authority to investigate the plight of people of African descent.



Bottom line: the United Nations created this group in 2002 to “gather all relevant information” from governments and non-governmental organizations that will help them in eliminating “racial discrimination against Africans and people of African descent in all parts of the world.”



As one would expect, while the theoretical target of these investigations is “the world,” the true target is the United States, the globo-crats’ biggest and most insuperable obstacle in its path toward total world domination.



Lately, though, the stumbling block that is the United States is going out of its way to transform itself into a stepping stone.



On September 26, the U.S. Ambassador Keith Harper announced the results of a “dialogue” conducted by the UN and some American groups that should give every friend of liberty pause as it reveals the depth and width of the UN’s plot to infiltrate American government and law enforcement from the smallest town to the largest metropolis.



In a statement, Harper reports that the UN’s Working Group “met with federal, state, and local government officials, judges and lawyers, members of Congress, police officers, academics, members of civil society, and hundreds of African Americans, in Washington, D.C.; Baltimore, Maryland; Jackson, Mississippi; Chicago, Illinois; and New York City.”



Just because the UN met with these groups doesn’t mean that the United States approves of their plan and its principles. Except that the U.S. delegation released a statement announcing its take on the talks.



“We were happy to arrange this visit and take note of the Working Group’s conclusions and recommendations, which we will distribute to relevant stakeholders, including the state and local government officials who met with the Working Group, for appropriate consideration,” the U.S. representatives said.



Despite the emphasis on blacks and their plight, the American delegation declared in its summary of the summit that the United States — from Washington, D.C. to city governments nationwide — had made “great progress toward countering racial discrimination, xenophobia, and related forms of intolerance.”



There you have it. It’s not just slavery that the American people must make amends for, they should be forced by the UN, working through local and federal government agencies, to demonstrate their acceptance of everything and everyone.



Should Americans resist this forced acceptance of the UN’s anti-discrimination indoctrination, the Working Group has a plan to overcome that little setback.



Paragraph f(3) of the group’s mandate provides access to “financial and developmental institutional and operational programs”.



Having access to these financial institutions will make it much easier for the UN to force Americans to “contribute to the development programs intended for people of African descent.”



The money siphoned from these sources will be used by the UN to exert control over “health systems, education, housing, electricity, drinking water and environmental control measures,” forcing them to employ an appropriate number of people of African descent.



Should this strategy prove insufficient, then the UN will enforce “other affirmative or positive measures and strategies within the human rights framework” to establish this racial equality that it claims is the purpose of the policy.



One need only imagine how devastating such a program could be to the middle class of the United States. People living from paycheck to paycheck because of the legal plunder perpetrated by their own governments (at all levels) will be subjected to increased income taxes levied to repair all the harm their ancestors ostensibly did to the ancestors of their neighbors. 



Not just any neighbor, though. The money collected by American governments (at all levels) will be earmarked for reparations to be paid to African Americans.



Surely the plutocrats at the UN know very well how this program would only work to exacerbate the growing racial divide in the United States and would give otherwise open-minded people without any racial prejudice reason to resent black people, people they would now see as recipients of another government-managed welfare program to which they claim to be “entitled” for no other reason than the color of their skin.



At the heart of it, this is the United Nations’ purpose: to follow the well-worn path trod by every tyrant who wanted to rule over a multitude of formerly free men. This centuries-old despotic design is to divide up a population into smaller communities that can be manipulated into seeing each other as the reason for their respective socio-economic distress.



The last of the recommendations published in the Working Group’s plan is for the United States to implement Executive Order 12898.



That order, signed by Bill Clinton in 1994:



directs federal agencies to identify and address the disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects of their actions on minority and low-income populations, to the greatest extent practicable and permitted by law. The order also directs each agency to develop a strategy for implementing environmental justice. The order is also intended to promote nondiscrimination in federal programs that affect human health and the environment, as well as provide minority and low-income communities access to public information and public participation.



In the 22-page report of its investigation into the plight of the African-American, the Working Group lays out a blueprint beyond Executive Order 12898, establishing how it could enforce a climate of acceptance and equality for the black population in America. 



Should these plans be put into practice, the United Nations would insinuate itself into every aspect of life from the grocery store to the gas station. There is no part of human activity that would not fall under the purview of the globalists. None of these policies, however, would serve to reduce racial animosity in America. 



In fact, should the United Nations, with the cooperation of all levels of American government, force one ethnic group to pay for past wrongs done to the ancestors of another ethnic group, the result will not be healing of wounds, but the pouring of the salt of socialism into those wounds, with the fleeced feeling greater anger at the beneficiaries.



The Working Group, the United Nations as a whole, and the government of the United States of America are prepared to implement all these programs over the next 10 years, culminating in the complete control of economic resources by 2024.

“MODERN FAMILY” TO FEATURE TV’S FIRST TRANSGENDER CHILD ACTOR 



SEE: http://the-trumpet-online.com/modern-family-feature-tvs-first-transgender-child-actor/; republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:







Hit ABC comedy Modern Family will become the first television show to feature a transgender child actor in an episode slated to air this week.



In the eighth-season episode “A Stereotypical Day,” gay parents Cam (Eric Stonestreet) and Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) invite their daughter Lily’s transgender friend Tom over for a playdate, according to Variety.



“Both parents are filled with pride that they have done well in raising an accepting and open-minded child. But that pride quickly diminishes when Lily insults her friend, which they use as a teachable moment,” the outlet reports of the episode’s synopsis.



Transgender actor Jackson Millarker, 8, will reportedly play Lily’s friend.



Transgender characters have increasingly appeared on television in recent years, though none have been played by a transgender child actor.



Perhaps the most famous transgender character on television is Transparent‘s Maura Pfefferman, played by male actor Jeffrey Tambor (who has won two Emmys and a Golden Globe for the role). Transgender actress Laverne Cox has played Sophia Burset in Netflix’s Orange is the New Black and is set to become the first transgender actress to play a transgender lead role in a television series when the CBS legal drama Doubt debuts this year.



Other transgender actors on television include 15-year-old Jazz Jennings, star of the TLC reality series I Am Jazz, and former Olympian-turned-reality TV star Bruce Jenner, whose reality series I Am Cait about his transition to become Caitlyn Jenner was recently cancelled by E!.



Modern Family‘s “A Stereotypical Day” airs Wednesday, September 28 on ABC.

THE FIRST STEP IN LIQUIDATING A CULTURE: ERASE ITS MEMORY



BY TOM DEWEESE







SEE: http://newswithviews.com/DeWeese/tom276.htm; republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:







September 27, 2016
NewsWithViews.com



What happens when the forces of evil gain power and the necessary technology to destroy an entire culture for their own means? That is the story of my new political thriller entitled ERASE.



ERASE is set in today’s America. Every government policy I use in the story already exists in our system. Much of the dialog I have given to my characters was said by real policy makers. Many of the scenes in the book really happened. And many of my characters are based on people you may recognize. In my pages they are forced to clearly express their true intentions. It’s not sugar coated!



As Jay Lehr of the Heartland Institute said of ERASE: “The book has all the ingredients of a mystery thriller including murder, mayhem and intrigue, villains, heroes and heroines – but all placed in a framework of today’s reality only slightly exaggerated for impact.”



If you are one of the real heroes out there on the front lines fighting to preserve our freedom then you have faced many of the same evil forces; the same outrageous regulations; the same dire consequences as do my book’s heroes like teacher Brad Jackson; pastor Dave Delray; businessman John Lloyd; and activist Mack Richards. Together they represent the four pillars necessary to preserve our precious Constitution, including: Education, Free Enterprise, Christianity and Political Action.



Like today’s desperate patriots, they are in a race against time to save our precious liberties before it’s too late. To the true heroes in our nation, the folks who attend the council meetings and the school board meetings; those who swallow hard and then speak out against dangerous policies; and who return again and again -I dedicated this book –ERASE. My goal was to give every American the ability to ssee the whole picture and the hope needed to keep fighting.



The reviews are starting to come in and I am humbled as several of the comments and reviews have compared my book to the likes of Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged and George Orwell’s 1984.



Here are a few of the reviews and comments I have already received about ERASE:



Jay Lehr of the Heartland Institute said:



“I think ERASE maybe the most important political novel since 1984, Atlas Shrugged, Brave New World and State of Fear.”



Richard Viguerie’s Conservative Headquarters wrote:



Must Read Book: Tom DeWeese’s ERASE:



Like Atlas Shrugged and the Left Behind series Tom DeWeese’s ERASE presents a fictional path through a dystopian future. However, in ERASE every single policy presented in the book, from the use of technology to change our culture; to the use of the public school classrooms to eliminate true knowledge; to the destruction of Christianity in a drive to meld all religions into one powerful tool for government, is all true and happening at this very moment.












Here’s what other readers have said:



“I am reading Tom DeWeese’s new novel ERASE which has all the flavor of the late Michael Crichton’s State Of Fear and Rand’s Atlas Shrugged.”



“ERASE? in my opinion, is a 21st century version of George Orwell’s 1984.”



“DeWeese ties the Global Agenda into a fictional, fast moving, interesting story that would make anyone understand what is happening to our Country, even if they’d not been paying attention for the past 20 to 30 years. This will be a best seller shortly.”



“Murder, greed, tyranny, Agenda 21, and New World Order, all tied up in a package of deceit … and lying at the front door of the White House. You are going to love this one.”



“It is eye opening, it is necessary, it is suspenseful, it is just well written. The characters are faced with the same fears, the same trying to stop it, the same helplessness that many of us are facing daily as we fight to stop such a dark demon from destroying our real lives.”



“I think the author did an excellent job in tying in all aspects of the world we live in today. Everyone should read it. It is in story form for the benefit of those who can not wrap their minds around the world today. Factfiction I guess you would call it.”



“ERASE gives me hope, that everything wrong will be corrected, that good triumphs over evil.”



“Erase is so incredibly believable; I guess that is because most of the things in it really happened or are happening now in America. It is so good to have it in a novel.”



“You are a terrific writer. It really flows



“It is eye opening, it is necessary, it is suspenseful, it is just well written.”



“I highly recommend the book, both as an excellent suspense novel and maybe one that will open some eyes to a real threat.”



“We finished Erase. WOW!! We really enjoyed it!”



“I finished your book and it really had me thinking, that’s the point right!”



“I am also enjoying your book.”



“Oh it’s good.”





“Exciting read! Each chapter makes you look forward to the next. Relevant to today’s America.”



“I didn’t want to finish it because I didn’t want it to end!”



My book ERASE is a vital new tool to help average Americans understand the imminent dangers now threatening the freedoms we have all taken for granted. Through a fictionalized story ERASE shows everyone the root of those dangers and lets them clearly see what will happen to our society if we don’t take action to preserve our American culture against those who seek to destroy it.



As Harold, the ERASE Graffiti Bandit said, “Check Your Premise? all is not as it seems!”

HILLARY’S MAD DASH FOR CASH: BILLIONAIRE ELITES & PAMPERED CELEBRITIES

With no regard to the massive carbon footprint she and her entourage are leaving in their wake, Hillary Clinton is jet-setting back and forth from East Coast to West Coast, on a record run of Big Bucks soirees with the uber-rich of Wall Street, Hollywood, and Silicon Valley (Rothschilds, Sabans, Katzenbergs, et al). Forget all her populist blather in the primaries about taking on the evil Too Big To Fail/Too Big To Jail Wall Street banksters (whom she voted to bail out). Now that Bernie Sanders has jumped on her bandwagon, she doesn’t have to pander to his voter base.  So, she’s fundraising with a fury. She has already passed the $500 million mark, the halfway point to her stated goal of an obscene $1 billion campaign cash trove for her White House bid.



While the astronomical size of the Clinton buy-the-vote booty is itself remarkable, it is the sources from which it comes that should most cause worry. The Clinton cash cascade is not flowing in in $10-$100 donations from “the people” — you know, the millions of average Americans she claims to champion — but from a small cadre of the mega-rich, corporatist elite, who stand to reap big rewards from patronizing her. Just as important, they are shielded by their wealth and political connections from the harmful impacts that the Obama-Clinton socialist policies already are having on our nation’s economy, on America’s middle class, and on our nation’s security.



Last weekend, as the Los Angeles Times reported, Hillary was schmoozing with the aristocrat/plutocrat set in Martha’s Vineyard, at one of the sumptuous estates of Lady Lynn Forester Rothschild, of the fabulously wealthy (and infamously powerful and corrupt)  banking dynasty. Lady de Rothschild, a fanatically devoted supporter of Bill and Hillary Clinton — and a major donor to their corruption-plagued foundation — was also a leading force behind the phony crony capitalism confab, beguilingly called the “Inclusive Capitalism Summit,” which The New American’s Alex Newman reported on in 2014.



According to the Los Angeles Times report, the Rothschild soiree netted Clinton $3 million, while another schmoozefest the same day at the Martha’s Vineyard seaside home of former Universal Studios CEO Frank Biondi brought in $2 million. “At the Rothschild event,” the Times reported, “an aide to Clinton said, Clinton talked about how America succeeds when ‘everyone shares in the rewards, not just those at the top.’” The hypocrisy of  that boilerplate rhetoric, no doubt, was received with appropriate amusement by the champagne-and-caviar “populists” at the glamor get-together; the attendees, after all, represent those who are reaping rewards at the top of the top.



According to the Times:



Hillary Clinton dropped by the resort island of Martha’s Vineyard over the weekend to pick up more than $3 million in campaign contributions.



Thirty people contributed $50,000 apiece to attend the Saturday night function at the summer home of Lynn Forester de Rothschild, a wealthy investment manager so committed to Clinton that she couldn’t bring herself to vote for then-Sen. Barack Obama after he defeated Clinton in the 2008 Democratic primary.



After scooping up millions at Martha’s Vineyard, Team Hillary set off for the Golden State, which has always proven to be a huge cash cow for the Clintons. The corporate limousine liberals and pampered celebrities of Beverly Hills, Hollywood, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Palm Springs just love Hillary. A report today on CNN, “Hillary Clinton's California swing yields $19 million in 72 hours,” provides details on the Big Money events at the homes of Hollywood moguls, tech titans, movie mega-stars, and sports idols. Among those chipping in for this latest round of Clinton pay-to-play were: Bob Iger, the CEO of The Walt Disney Company; Jeffrey Katzenberg, the CEO of DreamWorks Animation; singer-songwriter Justin Timberlake; Hall of Fame basketball star Magic Johnson; investor/film producer Haim Saban; Apple CEO Tim Cook; former HP CEO Meg Whitman; and actors Samuel L. Jackson, Denzel Washington, Jessica Biel, Jennifer Aniston, Jamie Foxx, and Tobey Maguire.



Other leftwing Hollywood celeb activists who  prominently support Hillary include George Clooney, Lady Gaga, Oprah Winfrey, Meryl Streep, Leonardo DiCaprio, Bill Maher, and Katy Perry.



We have provided more details on the globalist, world-government billionaires who support Hillary here and here.



Following her California cash haul, Clinton was winging back to the East Coast to the fabulous Hampton estates, where, CNN reports, she has more Big Money events “hosted by Loews Hotels CEO Jonathan Tisch; real estate developer Bill Rudin; venture capitalist and longtime Clinton supporter Alan Patricof and hedge fund manager Adam Sender.”



Besides bringing in oceans of lucre, the peripatetic money grubbing offers Clinton another huge advantage: providing another excuse for avoiding press conferences that might bring up her health, e-mails, and Clinton Foundation corruption. Not that Clinton has had much to worry about on that front, since the liberal-left Big Media press corps is so far “in the tank” for her that she can be fairly confident of “running out the clock" on the many scandals and controversies that dog her.



In an unintentional self-indicting admission, the Clinton-friendly CNN piece cited above actually acknowledges that the current money tour is a shameless evasion, in which the media — CNN included — are complicit. CNN reports:



The fundraisers have also kept Clinton mostly out of the public eye during a series of negative stories about the Clinton Foundation and emails she failed to turn over to the State Department after leaving in 2013. Trump has made the foundation a focus of his attacks this week, even calling for a special prosecutor to investigate Clinton.



When confronted with controversy, Clinton's campaign has consistently reacted in similar fashion: Sit tight, hope Trump will overshadow the story with errors of his own, criticize the media, and try solutions that address the issues but don't fully end it.



Closed-door fundraisers — tweets from celebrities notwithstanding — have made it easier to employ that strategy.



Clinton's traveling press corps, in a break with precedent that Barack Obama followed in 2008, has not been allowed into any fundraisers on her swing through California. To date, Clinton has headlined over 320 fundraisers. Only five of them have been opened to her press pool.



It has now been 264 days since Hillary Clinton held a press conference. She has stayed inside a protective cocoon, providing only scripted, favorable “interviews” with selected-and-vetted “journalist” fans and promo appearances on the likes of the Jimmy Kimmel and Ellen DeGeneres shows. Even the pro-Hillary Washington Post admits “That’s Ridiculous.” But the Post, like the rest  of the controlled media herd, refuses to call Hillary out on her evasion strategy.

British Leader Farage Points Out Parallels Between Brexit and Trump’s Campaign



BY BOB ADELMANN



SEE: http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/politics/item/23938-british-leader-farage-points-out-parallels-between-brexit-and-trump-s-campaign; republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:









Nigel Farage (shown at microphone), former head of the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP), addressed some 15,000 Trump supporters in Jackson, Mississippi, on Tuesday night to encourage them in their fight against the Washington political establishment. He drew parallels between the fight for Brexit, which he and his party strongly supported but which polls showed likely to lose right up until the day of the vote, and Trump’s fight:



You have a fantastic opportunity here. You can go out, you can beat the pollsters, you can beat the commentators, you can beat Washington, and you’ll do it by doing what we did for Brexit in Britain.



He added:



Little people … people who have never voted in their lives [turned out to vote in Britain].… Anything is possible if enough decent people are prepared to stand up to the establishment….



We made June 23 [the day of the vote to exit the EU] our Independence Day when we smashed the establishment.



As he ended his 10-minute talk, Farage delighted the audience by saying, “If I was an American citizen, I wouldn’t vote for Hillary Clinton if you paid me!” The audience reacted with raucous approval, enjoying the reference to Clinton’s selling access to her State Department in exchange for cash payments by foreign interests to her foundation.



Trump said as Farage exited the podium: “I was very supportive of their right to [exit the EU] and take control of their own future, like exactly what we’re going to be voting for on November 8. November is our chance to re-declare American independence.”



Just before going on stage to address Trump’s supporters, Farage, in a radio interview, compared the Washington, D.C., establishment to the European Commission, saying that the parallels between Brexit and Trump’s campaign were “uncanny”: “The circumstances, the similarities, the parallels, between the people who voted for Brexit and the people who could beat Clinton in a few weeks’ time here in American are uncanny.”



To members of the mainstream media covering the event, however, the parallels were confusing, “baffling,” and “unexpected.” They appeared so steeped in statist ideology and dreams of a world run by the United Nations that they seemed unable to grasp the simple concept that people want to be free to work out their own destinies without interference by overweening governments, whether they be local, regional, national or global. Nick Corasaniti, writing in the New York Times, said that the presence of a foreign politician was “unexpected,” especially since Trump’s main meme is “America First.” Holly Bailey, covering the event for Yahoo.com, called the gathering “an unusual and somewhat surreal rally” and adding that the audience “appeared somewhat baffled” at Farage’s appearance.



Though tie-ins between Brexit and the Trump campaign may be baffling to left-wing journalists, the quest for independence from the Washington establishment and all of its decades-long efforts to entangle, entwine, and eventually subvert the American Republic into a one-world government certainly has been clear to Americanists such as Sarah Palin and Ron Paul. The day after the Brexit vote, Palin wrote:



The Brexit referendum is akin to our own Declaration of Independence. May that refreshed spirit of sovereignty spread over the pond to America’s shores!



Congratulations, smart Brits! Good on you for ignoring all the fear mongering from special interest globalists who tend to aim for that apocalyptic One World Government that dissolves a nation’s self-determination and sovereignty.



Former Texas Congressman Ron Paul said that the Brexit is just a good start:



Getting out of NATO would be a good first move. Likewise, the US would do well to exit the various phony “free trade” agreements….



The act of exiting is liberating. We should make a longer list of those things we would like to get out of.



I am only getting started.



The John Birch Society, the parent organization to The New American, certainly agrees with climbing from beneath layers of government, especially unaccountable government. Its campaign to “Get US Out of the United Nations” started 50 years ago. As Alex Newman, writing for The New American following the Brexit, wrote:



The Congress should completely de-fund the UN as a [first] measure. Without action, the increasingly lawless UN (and the establishment behind it) will continue seeking to further empower themselves at American expense — trampling on liberty and sovereignty in the process.…



As the British have shown the world, even the full weight of the establishment can be successfully opposed by people demanding their independence back. 



While members of the mainstream media may be confused and unable to grasp the concept of the restoration of liberty, Trump’s message is increasingly clear to millions of voters: exiting the establishment is the first step to exiting their plans for a New World Order.

FOUR WAYS TO USE FEAR AND DECEIT 



TO DESTROY OUR CULTURE



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

“Once such control of thinking is established, it’s just a short journey to rejecting morality and losing the ability to know right from wrong. Then, they set themselves up as the answer.” -Harold Riggers, ERASE



Our nation is being attacked and torn apart from four very specific directions. Americans are desperate to find answers and strategies to stop it. Before we can do that we must first understand how it is being done and by whom.



I have just released a new book that, through a fictional thriller approach, gives great insight to such questions. The book is titled ERASE and features a four pronged story line. It details how we are being divided, manipulated and dumbed -down to prepare us to participate in our own demise.



Of course the most obvious attack is seen through government policy. The federal government, through the EPA, HUD, the Department of Transportation, and many more agencies are openly attacking the very concepts of free enterprise and private property rights. The American dream of owing a home, driving a car and planning for ones own future have become direct targets of such agency policy. Moreover, the legal structure of locally elected representatives deciding the future for our communities based on the wishes of those who elected them, is being destroyed through the establishment of non-elected boards and regional governments that do not answer to the people. Hordes of private, non-elected, non-governmental organizations and planning groups apply pressure for policies that many times overrule the will of the people. It’s all being funded through government grants that now give federal agents almost complete control over local decisions.







Second, that same federal control over the nation’s education system has seen the near destruction of knowledge. This will result in the creation of basically ignorant, unaware children good for little more than job training and the preparation of global citizenship. The new “citizens” come out of the public schools with nearly zero knowledge of the nation’s history, its philosophy or economic system. They are taught that there are no right or wrong answers and whatever works for them is ok. The concept of a fully rounded education that allows students to prepare for any eventuality has been replaced with little more than job training. Moreover, days in the classroom have become a drudgery of non-stop propaganda and behavior modification to impose a “proper” thought process called “Globally Acceptable Truth.” This concept advocates that the reason for wars and poverty is too much knowledge, confusing students, making life more difficult. Obedience and conformity are the true purpose of the curriculum in today’s American public education system.



Third, Public/Private Partnerships (PPPs) between government and business are becoming the new business model. There is one major problem with it. It’s not free enterprise; rather it is right out of the Mussolini fascist model. In the United States, government is assigned the task of protecting businesses to guarantee their ability to engage in commerce. But that doesn’t mean there should be partnerships between the two. The result of such PPPs is that certain companies that agree to play ball get to go to the head of the line for the best locations and tax advantages handed out by government. Business can use its cozy partnership to assure policies that will help put their competition at a disadvantage. to prosper and use government to help put competition out of business. Moreover, companies will use their promotion dollars to help sell the government party line, such as the need to use certain products to protect the environment. In this way they are getting us to voluntarily sacrifice our freedom of choice; change our eating habits; our mode of transportation; and our home buying decisions, all falling in line with desired government policies. Finally, in the same manner, technology is being used to control our knowledge to erase our cultural ideas. In the old days, to achieve such an end, totalitarians had to use the unsavory tactic of book burnings to destroy history. Today, with all of our knowledge parked inside computer data banks and e-books, bonfires aren’t necessary. The simple control of a delete button makes it all go away without our even noticing it.







Why the viscous attacks on Christianity, many have asked. We see the Ten Commandments banned from public display and even military chaplains barred from performing Christian services. It seems to be insanity. However, one needs to understand that Christian teaching is the root of the ideas of private property and individuality and even free enterprise. If you seek to destroy those concepts, then you need to destroy the root. Yet, to outright ban Christianity is a task that even those striving for such a goal lack the guts to do. So, instead, they have chosen to use Christianity as a tool for their own means. We change worship of God to worship of Mother Earth. For the past thirty years there has been a massive drive by those seeking global control of the earth to create an “inter-religious consensus” to bring all religions together under one banner. They have held major meetings to organize Evangelicals, Catholics and Jews together in a unified commitment to “ecological concerns.” Slowly, they are converting Christianity into a force that worships the creation as it ignores the Creator. Such a change, done slowly over time, makes it much easier to mold staunch believers into their vision of the proper citizen of the Earth. Once fully indoctrinated they voluntarily fall into the trap as they march in lockstep with pure pagan teachings coming from their own pulpits. This has helped to render Christianity as merely toothless opposition to ruthless Islamic sharia law.



My new book ERASE is a searing glimpse into a future for America that encompasses all of these situations. In a tense and entertaining story, ERASE exposes how such tactics are being used to destroy our nation from within. I have used one central villain to portray the evil force that threatens us. However, in reality he lives inside hundreds of such power mongers that now act as an unseen hand to pull the strings in the back rooms of local, state and federal centers of government.



In the book’s story a teacher, a businessman, a preacher, a political activist and a homeless man all learn the frightening truth about a secret, powerful force plotting to bring it about. What can they do to stop it? Eventually they learn of a secret document that holds the answers. It names the perpetrators and details the full plan for the destruction of America. These heroes understand the great need to possess and expose such information and they begin a desperate race against time to find it. Of course, as in any fictional thriller, through that search some make the ultimate sacrifice to save their nation.



This is a fictional depiction. However, every single policy presented in the book, from the use of technology to change our culture; to the use of the public school classrooms to eliminate true knowledge; to the destruction of Christianity in a drive to meld all religions into one powerful tool for government, is all true and happening at this very moment.



Help preserve our free society. I invite you to read my book ERASE. It is far easier to understand these attacks on our liberty through an entertaining fictional story than to try to muddle through and rely on the mainstream media to sort out truth from deception.



One central character named Brad Jackson is a teacher who takes great pride in his ability to inspire his students to understand and accept true history. He loves books and prizes his collection of them. When he is confronted with the news that evil forces are working to eliminate our history and culture, he asks another character an obvious question: “How do they think they can stop knowledge? It’s there, no matter what.” The other character, who knows the secrets and is working to stop such a destruction of the nation, answers him by saying, “They stop knowledge by banning it.”



That is what is happening to our nation right now, in every area of our lives. It’s happening quietly, in stealth. Many Americans hardly notice. But it’s there; control through our personal choices, our bank accounts, even our use of social media. Now is the time to stand up and stop it. Or, very soon, we will wake up to find that our nation, our culture, our history are wiped from the face of the earth. The answers are in my book, ERASE.

FALSE TEACHERS: THEY’RE NOT JUST ON “TBN”



BY BUD AHLHEIM



SEE: http://pulpitandpen.org/2016/08/04/false-teachers-theyre-not-just-on-tbn/; republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:



6868de595bf1777b9705902123cce8fc



Bearing a rhetorically inverse relationship, it seems, to the believer’s duty to discernment is the occasionally seen-on-a-meme quote by Joseph Heller, from his work Catch-22, “Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t after you.”



To be sure, for the Christian, the enemy is always on the prowl.  He is always after believing prey of any flavor, but perhaps especially the easy-picking sort – those willfully marinating in discernment-free acceptance of all things self-labelled as “Christian.”  For believers, what’s commanded isn’t paranoia; it’s discernment.





Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour  1 Peter 5:8





The Scripturally-cognizant Christian will realize ground zero for the enemy’s attack is the church.  With ever increasing ferocity, charlatans plague, pummel, and promote both subtle and blatant false teaching from pulpits to the discernment-free flocks, heavily goat-laden as they are, occupying pews and Sunday school classrooms.



Shepherds have become, noticeably, less identified by their sound teaching and preaching of the Word and more by their unbridled, and often biblically-unguided, zeal to build the church … particularly “their” church.  “Feed my sheep” (John 21:17) lies a dormant, forgotten command from our Lord, much less the accompanying duty of protecting those sheep from the wolves He said were sure to come.



The discernment-obedient, authentic believer will quickly recognize the high-profile, brand-name false teachers that flood the wrongly named “Christian” television and radio airwaves.  Bookstores are replete with the works of these wolves.  While it seems that, by now, everybody should know that the Benny Hinns, Kenneth Copelands, Beth Moores, Joyce Meyers, et al are false teachers, it amazes that their unbiblical falsehoods yet meet with audiences eager to have their ears itched.   Skip the truth.  Just scratch my itch.



But it is not only the high profile false teachers, the ones with national visibility, that are prevalent problems.  As though inspired by the conspicuous, carnal success of those charlatans who’ve hit the big time, lesser known, lower-level, regional wanna-be’s are equally as dangerous.   Like the “celebrity” charlatans, they espouse false teaching and foment a subtle rebellion against the absolute authority and sufficiency of the Word of God.



One such lesser known fomenter of false teaching is Stovall Weems, co-pastor of Celebration Church in Jacksonville, Florida.  Celebration, despite its name, is neither a celebration of Christ, nor can it properly identified as a New Testament church.  The one celebrated is the pew sitter in this club of morally-inclined deists.  Oh, the other co-pastor?  Weems’ wife, Kerri.  So much for being an authentic Christian church.



swkw







Here’s the contradiction of the subtle “say one thing, do another” deception of such “churches.”  Celebration’s “What We Believe” section on their website includes this statement:





We believe that the Bible is God’s Word.   It is accurate, authoritative, and applicable to our everyday lives. 2 Timothy 3:15-16





Lacking words typically found in an orthodox statement about Scripture such as “inerrant” and “infallible,” Celebration’s claim even to Scripture’s authority and application is disregarded by Weems.  Perhaps he should’ve looked a book earlier to 1 Timothy and that apostolic command, “I do not permit a woman to teach.”  (1 Timothy 2:12) Is that part of Scripture somehow not authoritative?



This isn’t just an slight oversight by Weems, either.  His wife isn’t merely on the staff as a result of pure nepotism.  Weems supports women in the pulpit, against the clear teaching of Scripture.  On Sunday, July 29, he invited another pastrix, Charlotte Gambill of Life Church UK, to preach in his stead.  Maybe Weems and Celebration should include an asterisk to indicate which portions of Scripture are authoritative in their view.



char







Celebration currently boasts an attendance of over 12,000 each Sunday in multiple locations around Jacksonville, including two international ones in Zimbabwe and Northern Ireland.  Weems serves as a flat-screen pastor for his multi-site gatherings.





“I don’t think there’s any place in the life of the church for a flat screen pastor, I really don’t. …How do you know anything about a flat-screen face three miles away from where you are? What kind of shepherding is that? What kind of pastor is that? That’s no pastor at all. That is not a pastor.” John MacArthur





While it is non-denominational, Celebration Church is aligned with the innocuously named Association of Related Churches.  Weems – him, not her – serves on ARC’s Lead Team, joining the likes of Nick and Christine Caine (repeat after me ‘prosperity gospel heretics’) and John Gray of Lakewood Church (smile widely and please say ‘Joel Osteen.’).  Weems’ woes with discernment – as if he cares about it – with such spurious associations is further exhibited by his participation on  “reverend” Steven Furtick’s oversight board.



(There are currently over 800 “churches” listed on the ARC Church Directory. For more on the charlatan that is Furtick, see HERE.)



According to Christian Post, Weems served on Furtick’s Board of Overseers (Perry Noble was also on it, FYI) that approves his salary package.  The issue of Furtick’s income came to light as a result of his construction of a $1.7 million mansion to house the mega pastor’s family and, of course, his ego.  Weems’ residence doesn’t exactly pale in comparison, a $900,000, six thousand + square foot abode in a gated community on the edge of the St. Johns River, a community known as a favorite of Jacksonville’s NFL stars.



Before consideration is given to Weems and his horrendous handling of God’s Word , just one other point on his issues of his discernment.  In March 2015, Weems and Celebration gleefully hosted perhaps the queen charlatan of TBN’s prosperity gospel line-up, Joyce Meyer.  “We are beyond excited and honored to host Joyce Meyer.”



(For more on the charlatan that is Joyce Meyer, see HERE.)



jmc







So, on two fundamental points of obedience to the Scripture that Celebration claims is authoritative, Weems has two strikes.  Women in the pulpit … strike one.  Discernment, or the lack thereof, is strike two.



When we are told to have nothing to do with false teachers, it’s generally understood to mean, “don’t invite them to preach in your pulpit”. It certainly means, “don’t hold hands with them on religious boards and associations.”  This admonition, of course, probably doesn’t apply if you happen to be a false teacher yourself.  No doubt, this is the defensive tack which Weems must take.



In 2014, Weems published The God-First Life.  The book’s title is currently being used as the tagline for his church’s website, “We are leading people to experience a God-first life.”  Coming from the Emergent/seeker-sensitive “church” movement as he does, Weems’ book posits nothing less than a word of faith, prosperity focused gospel.  Believers will know, of course, this is a false, “other” Gospel which the Apostle Paul anathematizes.  (Galatians 1:8)



(See Empowered By Christ’s entry on Weems HERE.)

“Years ago, my church – Celebration Church in Jacksonville, Florida – rented a billboard near a busy highway.  We were looking to attract people to what God was doing in our world.  The ad featured an image of me (which made sense because the invitation was coming from the church, and well, I’m the pastor) with these words emblazoned across the ad:  Your Life, God’s Way.”  Stovall Weems





Weems’ obviously narcissistic advertising aside, a fundamental misunderstanding of God, and especially His Gospel, is on full display.  God is not interested in simply “attracting people.”  He does not need to dangle enticements before a depraved world in order to get their attention.  What He offers is not a “check out what I’m doing” (What’s He’s doing is judgment, by the way.  Romans 1:18) but rather a command to “repent and believe.” (Mark 1:15)  Repentance, though, is nowhere to be found in Weems’ doctrine-less tome.



When God so chooses – because He IS sovereign – He will move to regenerate those whom He’s chosen “from before the foundation of the world,” (Ephesians 1:4) but that is not an attractional effort; it’s a supernaturally transformative one He accomplishes exclusively through the mechanism of His Gospel.  (Romans 1:16)  And that Gospel?  Yeah, it too is completely absent from Weems’ book.



The God-First Life lacks a presentation of the Gospel and provides a disturbingly deceptive concept of soteriology.  In Weems’ text, both the purpose of whatever salvation may be gleaned as necessary from his writing, and the results of that salvation, are decidedly man-centered.  Scripture, however, gives a clear, Christ-centered focus to “all things.”   “All things were created through him and for him.”  Colossians 1:16





“In your search for happiness, God is not your fiercest opponent, but your greatest ally.  But to see things from his perspective, you must master one crucial truth: Happiness isn’t about more, better, or greater; it’s about order.”  Stovall Weems





A quick perusal of, say, Foxes Book of Martyrs contradicts Weems’ “it’s all about you” false gospel.  Temporal happiness, though a heavily-stressed tenet of contemporary pop “Christianity,” the flavor Celebration proclaims – wasn’t  a remotely valued ambition evident in the lives of the many saints who died for the faith of Christ.  Temporal happiness simply was not (and is not) a featured selling point for authentic faith.   The image of an inverted crucified Apostle Peter ought to be seared into the minds of anyone who’s tempted to believe the Gospel is all about “Your Best Life Now.”



peter







The other obvious problem with The God-First Life approach is that it suggests a cafeteria-style, cultural Christianity intended to meet your needs, wants, and desires in the here and now.  Completely lacking the notion of authentic regeneration, much less issuing a call for repentance for the forgiveness of sin, Weems hurls forth a system that, if adroitly administered, yields God-required blessings.  You do it right and God’s obliged to bless.





“If we get the order right, God promises to meet our needs, with unexpected blessings attached.”  Stovall Weems





Contrast Weems’ teaching, though, with what Christ Himself declared:





“So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.”  Jesus, Luke 14:33





Weems’ novel approach to apprehending God’s blessing, though, is nothing more than a different veneer of presumed credibility layered across the foundation of a prosperity gospel theology.  Weems can only back up this assertion by citing – again, sans repentance and “by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone” – Proverbs 10:22.  “The blessing of the Lord makes rich, and he adds no sorrow with it.”



Promise plucking is a well-favored feat of the prosperity preacher and this particular verse is one to which they are obviously favorably inclined.  One wonders why the apostle Paul, who, it must be admitted, was “tight” with Jesus, didn’t remind Him of this promise.  Instead, Paul, identifying himself as a slave (doulos) of Christ, (Romans 1:1) suffered horrendously in his “God-first” life.  Paul’s words in 2 Corinthians ought be considered seriously by those who are jeopardizing their souls with the false teaching of Weems:





Are they servants of Christ? I am a better one—I am talking like a madman—with far greater labors, far more imprisonments, with countless beatings, and often near death. 24 Five times I received at the hands of the Jews the forty lashes less one. 25 Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I was adrift at sea; 26 on frequent journeys, in danger from rivers, danger from robbers, danger from my own people, danger from Gentiles, danger in the city, danger in the wilderness, danger at sea, danger from false brothers; 27 in toil and hardship, through many a sleepless night, in hunger and thirst, often without food,in cold and exposure. 28 And, apart from other things, there is the daily pressure on me of my anxiety for all the churches.  2 Corinthians 11:23-28





It’s a shame the apostle didn’t simply know then what Weems teaches now.  If only the apostle had just gotten the order right.



Another example from The God-First Life reflects Weems’ mishandling of Scripture and his dismissive presentation of sin, and, of course, Christ’s redemptive work necessitated by it.  “Jesus wasn’t against happiness,” Weems writes, “he just redefined how to get it.”



Weems cites such things as greed, drunkenness, dishonesty, hatred, rage, selfishness, antagonism, and envy not as sins committed against an utterly righteous and just God, from whom judgment is forthcoming.  He calls these things “types of behaviors that characterize the untransformed life.”  The transformed life, of course, is a life with things in the right order, with God first.  Umm, no.



The authentically transformed life is one that has undergone the divinely wrought re-birth.  Regardless of the practical structure, or intentional focus, we place on the ordering of our life – psychological, emotional, religious, or otherwise – without being born again, no one will see the kingdom of God.  (John 3:3)



Just ask your favorite Pharisee.  Christ made it clear to them that their own intense focus on the structure of, and adherence to, their charade of religious behavior was not only hypocritical, it was also eternally insufficient.  The woes he pronounced on them may easily be applied to the similar works righteousness, prosperity gospel Weems proclaims. (Matthew 23)



Though Weems doesn’t deny the reality of sin, in his view, it’s not really a big deal.  Continuing with his “get everything in the right order to get your blessing” outline, Weems prioritizes, verse by verse, the structure of the Lord’s prayer as Biblical evidence that sin shouldn’t be a fixation for us.





“Now, finally, I get to forgiveness.  I cannot overstate how important it is to keep things in the priority God established.  God doesn’t want us obsessing on our sins.  Placing this fourth [according to Weem’s outline of the Lord’s prayer] gives us a check – Have I offended God?  How have I treated people? – but it avoids turning my sin into the whole story.”  Stovall Weems





Sin, according to Weems, drops in at number four on God’s prioritized spreadsheet of importance.  Somehow, the crucifixion, then, seems an awfully harsh penalty for the Son of God to pay.  If sin is merely types of behavior of the untransformed life, if it isn’t something we should obsess over – things which Scripture patently contradicts – it’s no surprise Weems’ flavor of the prosperity gospel deflects the need for repentance.



Promoting an aberrant theology as he does, Weems provides, under the banner “Experiencing The Presence Of God,” another “get it in the right order” instruction, this one in his description of worship. His explanation is that worship is about you, an “encounter” you have, an “experience” you get. Worship is about us, not God.



Though his explanation of man-centered worship is decidedly unbiblical, Weems provides yet another illicit interpretation of Scripture while explaining it.  In so doing, he also reflects his disregard for “rightly handling the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15





“The third chapter of Revelation shows how Jesus invites us to experience him. … Now he’s standing at the door of your heart, and he’s saying, Will you go ahead and abandon yourself to me? Will you just let me in? And at that moment of abandonment and surrender you experience the presence of God.”   Stovall Weems





An astute student of Scripture will recognize this gross misinterpretation of Revelation 3:20. Christ was speaking to a church completely void of authentic believers, perhaps not unlike Celebration. To “experience the presence of God” is not driven by man’s effort. Scripture makes abundantly clear that only God can bring life to those “dead in trespasses and sins.” (Ephesians 2:1)



In the case of Weems and Celebration Church, there are, each Sunday, some 12,000 souls, many of whom are “already condemned,” (John 3:18) that are not being given the truth of the Gospel. Instead they are being fed a Pharisaical, legalistic, structured approach to “faith” that is nowhere to be found in Scripture.  It is certain to leave them in their condemned state, on the wide path that leads to destruction.





See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.   Colossians 2:8





Though Weems is a wanna-be big player on the pervasive stage of false “Christianity,” he, and others like him, represent the worst of those many false teachers about whom our Lord warned authentic believers. They slather an appealing veneer of Christian-ese across a diabolical “other” gospel that ultimately damns.   They’re merely hucksters hurling a feel-good form of religion leading those who swallow it to believe that form and function equate to salvific faith and that the goal of Christianity is experience rather than obedience. It’s exactly the same sort of thing for which Jesus attacked the Pharisees.





“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but within are full of dead people’s bones and all uncleanness. 28 So you also outwardly appear righteous to others, but within you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness. Matthew 23:27-28





Celebration Church and Weems are misleading thousands with a false, legalistic form of the prosperity gospel. But others, too, do so in less than TBN worthy “churches” across the country. The enemy has countless counterfeits.  These aren’t churches, and their pulpit occupants aren’t pastors. They are the false teachers Scripture tells us to avoid and expose. (Romans 16:17-18, Ephesians 5:11)





 “If the church is anything in the world, it is God’s holy people. Churches should be known by how they exalt righteousness, and how they condemn unrighteousness. Churches should be known for confronting sin and pursuing holiness.” John MacArthur





For Weems and Celebration, holiness isn’t a priority; the “experience” of God is. For them, unrighteousness and sin aren’t things over which one should obsess; they are merely behaviors which cause us to disorder what should be a “God-first life,” a life that apprehends God-obliged, temporal blessings.



But, the truly regenerate believer will be found in thankful agreement with the apostle’s words about his Christian faith …





Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith— 10 that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11 that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead.  Philippians 3:8-11





Each Sunday, in Jacksonville, Florida, thousands will gather to be deceived.   Likewise, around the nation and the world, countless souls will sit under the damning words of a feel good religion. Please, pray for these souls.   And, please, warn those being misled who are in such eternally damning clubs of deistic moralism.



Contend for the faith. Many are being deceived and many are deceiving … and they’re not all on TBN.  Sometimes they’re just down the street …

			

		

		
		

			
							

		


	

		
	

		
		
GOVERNMENT CLAIMS POWER TO CONTROL CONTENT OF SERMONS~AND ENFORCE GENDER NEUTRAL BATHROOMS AT CHURCHES
		
		
 

	
		
		
					

			
		

						

GOVERNMENT CLAIMS POWER TO CONTROL CONTENT OF SERMONS



SEE: http://the-trumpet-online.com/government-claims-power-control-content-sermons-2/; republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:







The Iowa Civil Rights Commission is being sued for claiming it has the right to control the content of church services that are “open to the public.”



The lawsuit filed by the Alliance Defending Freedom on behalf of Fort Des Moines Church of Christ is part of a nationwide battle against the implementation of President Obama’s declared foreign-policy priority in his final year in office: “gay” rights.”



At issue in the Iowa case are state mandates that protect “transgender rights.” Among them are allowing men to enter women’s shower rooms, dressing rooms and restrooms if they say they are women, and banning statements in meetings “open to the public” that “might cause individuals to believe that they are unwelcome because of their perceived gender identity”



The lawsuit charges the mandates violate the U.S. Constitution’s protections for free speech, religion, expressive association, due process and the right to peaceably assemble.



Named as defendants are commission members Angela Jackson, Patricia Lipski, Mathew Hosford, Tom Conley, Douglas Oelschaleger, Lily Lijun Hou and Lawrence Cunningham, and city of Des Moines Executive Director Kristen Johnson and Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller.



The commission did not respond to a WND request for comment.



The complaint, filed this week, is clear.



“This is a civil rights action to stop the commissioners and the executive director of the Iowa Civil Rights Commission, the Iowa attorney general, and the city of Des Moines from compelling an Iowa church to communicate government messages to which it objects and from forcing the church to use its building in violation of its religious beliefs.”



It explains the commission believes its interpretation of state law allows it “to force churches to allow individuals access to church restrooms, shower facilities, and changing rooms based on his or her gender identity, irrespective of biological sex.”



The commission’s interpretation was made clear in a guidance released in response to the question of whether or not the transgender-discrimination requirements apply to churches.



“Sometimes,” the commission said, “Iowa law provides that these protections do not apply to religious institutions with respect to any religion-based qualifications when such qualifications are related to bona fide religious purpose. Where qualifications are not related to a bona fide religious purpose, churches are still subject to the law’s provisions. (e.g. a child care facility operated at a church or a church service open to the public).”



Explained the complaint, “The commission’s interpretation grossly misunderstands the religious purposes and beliefs of Plaintiff Fort Des Moines Church of Christ.”



The church holds worship, religious services, Sunday School classes, Bible studies, youth-oriented activities, annual vacation Bible schools, Easter activities, Christmas pageants and other ministry events based on its religious beliefs.



“As a result, there are messages, practices, and activities that the church would not sponsor, host, or otherwise communicate because those messages, practices, and activities would violate the church’s understanding of God’s truth. The activities that the church allows in its facility must be consistent with the church’s understanding of God’s truth, and must not present a message that contradicts the church’s understand of God’s truth.”



As “biology, chromosomes, physiology, and anatomy” all give evidence of the “maleness or femaleness … designed by God,” the church believes it must provide for the “immutable trait from which springs the natural and healthy desires for physical privacy and modesty in states of partial or full undress, such as in restrooms, showers, and changing rooms.”



Not only does the commission’s “open restrooms” mandate violate the church’s rights, “the language of the act and the city code are broad enough to include within that prohibition sermons, theological expositions, educational speeches, newsletters or church worship bulletin text, or other statements from the church and its leaders.”



“The church’s minister desires to preach sermons addressing God’s design for human sexuality and the church’s beliefs about ‘gender identity,’ but reasonably fears that if it were to do so it would violate the act’s and the city code’s speech ban,” the complaint explains.



The lawsuit seeks a temporary restraining order and preliminary and permanent injunctions “restraining all defendants … from enforcing or applying” the law to the church. A final resolution would be a declaratory judgment stating the application of the mandates to churches violates the Constitution.



ADF explained that “all events” at the church have a “bona fide religious purpose.”



The organization explained: “The speech ban could be used to gag churches from making any public comments – including from the pulpit – that could be viewed as unwelcome to persons who do not identify with their biological sex. This is because the commission says the law applies to churches during any activity that the commission deems to not have a ‘bona fide religious purpose.’”
‘Foundational’ principle



Holcomb said churches “should be free to teach their religious beliefs and operate their houses of worship according to their faith without being threatened by the government.”



“That is a foundational First Amendment principle,” she said. “Churches have always been protected from government intrusion, and they still are. They have a firmly established freedom to teach their beliefs and set internal policies that reflect their biblical teachings about marriage and human sexuality. One can hardly imagine a more obvious unconstitutional invasion of the state into the internal affairs of the church.”



Holcomb told WND and Radio America, “Frankly, I can’t imagine a more unconstitutional intrusion of the state into the church than when the state starts trying to dictate to a church how it must or must not preach about its beliefs or use its worship facility. This is something that should be deeply troubling to every American.”



WND reported Friday that a federal judge appointed by President Obama killed a Mississippi law – hours before it was set to take effect – that would have protected the religious freedom of clerks and businesses that refuse to participate in same-sex marriages.



In his 60-page ruling, U.S. District Court Judge Carlton Reeves, who previously had ruled against any elements of Christianity in voluntary events to honor students, stated that the law, known as the “Protecting Freedom of Conscience from Government Discrimination Act,” or H.B. 1523, is unconstitutional and would “diminish the rights of LGBT citizens.”



“The state has put its thumb on the scale to favor some religious beliefs over others,” Reeves said, according to CNN.



“HB 1523 does not advance the interest the state says it does,” he continued. “Under the guise of providing additional protection for religious exercise, it creates a vehicle for state-sanctioned discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. It’s not rationally related to a legitimate end.”



State attorneys plan to appeal Reeves’ ruling, according to the Associated Press.



As WND reported, Judge Carlton Reeves, who was nominated by Obama in 2010, once punished a school district for allowing a voluntary prayer at an optional awards ceremony.



His actions as a judge triggered a decision to ban a school band from a halftime show at a football game because as part of its musical presentation, it included the melody from “How Great Thou Art.” Columnist Todd Starnes at Fox News said the judge may issue an order, but the people may not necessarily bend to his whim.



He reported the people decided “a message had to be sent to the likes of Judge Reeves.”



Message to the judge



“And what they did – would become known as the musical shot heard around the world. During halftime of Friday night’s game – a lone voice began to sing the forbidden song. ‘Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee,’ the singer sang. Brittany Mann was there and she witnessed the entire moment of defiance,” Starnes wrote.



“We were just sitting there and then one by one people started to stand,” she told Starnes. “At first, it started out as a hum but the sound got louder and louder.”



Soon “hundreds” were singing.



“At that moment I was so proud of my town – coming together and taking a stand for something we believe in,” she told Starnes. “It breaks my heart to see where our country is going – getting farther and farther away from the Christian beliefs that our country was founded on.”



WND previously has documented a Big List of cases in which government rulings have removed religious rights from Christians.



Missouri State University, for example, dismissed a student from a counseling program for expressing opposition to counseling same-sex duos.



In Iowa, Gortz Haus Gallery and bistro owners Betty and Richard Odgaard were sued by a homosexual duo.



In Texas, David and Edie Delmore, who own a bakery, were approached by Ben Valencia and Luis Marmolejo about a cake for a “gay wedding.” They declined, referring the potential customers to other bakers. Subsequently, they claim their home has been vandalized and their son has been threatened with rape by a broken beer bottle.



One business even was attacked for answering a hypothetical question on the issue.



Family owned Memories Pizza in Indiana came into the crosshairs of homosexuals when an owner was interviewed by a local TV station in the aftermath of the adoption of the state’s religious freedom law. Responding to a reporter’s question, the owner said that while her restaurant serves “gays,” her Christian faith wouldn’t allow her to cater a “gay wedding.” The restaurant immediately became a focal point of outrage toward the law, with threats of death and destruction, causing the owners to shut down their business.



Not necessarily legal



In two recent cases, judges forced Christians in the workplace to violate their beliefs.



In one case, the U.S. Supreme Court left standing a lower court decision that Washington state pharmacists who are Christian must violate their faith to practice their profession, forcing them to provide abortion drugs. The second decision came from a federal judge – Reeves – who determined county clerks in the state must violate their faith to hold their office.



The Supreme Court’s move alarmed Justice Samuel Alito, who warned there was evidence that the “impetus for the adoption of the regulations was hostility to pharmacists whose religious beliefs regarding abortion and contraception are out of step with prevailing opinion in the state.”



In the Mississippi ruling, Reeves said clerks in the state cannot cite their religious beliefs to excuse themselves from issuing marriage licenses to homosexual duos.



Such a dispute already had been litigated in Kentucky, where Judge David Bunning reached the same conclusion, ordering Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis to violate her faith. When she declined, Bunning abruptly jailed her with no due process.



But Kentucky’s legislature simply adopted a provision protecting clerks’ religious rights, and Davis asked that the federal case be closed.



In Mississippi, however, not even action by state lawmakers was sufficient for Reeves, who ordered not only that clerks be required to provide services that violate their faith, they must be given “formal notice” of the requirement that they violate their faith.

Judge Strikes Down Religious Freedom Law 



Protecting Right to Decline Part 



in Same-Sex Ceremonies



SEE: http://christiannews.net/2016/07/01/judge-strikes-down-religious-freedom-law-protecting-right-to-decline-part-in-same-sex-ceremonies/; republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:









JACKSON, Miss. (Reuters) — A federal judge has blocked a Mississippi law intended to allow people who object on religious grounds to decline services for homosexual ceremonies.



U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves, in a ruling late on Thursday, said that the wide-ranging law adopted this spring unconstitutionally allowed “arbitrary discrimination” against the homosexuals, unmarried people and others who do not share such views.



“The state has put its thumb on the scale to favor some religious beliefs over others,” wrote Reeves, who issued a preliminary injunction halting the law that was to take effect on Friday.







Mississippi is among a handful of southern U.S. states on the front lines of legal battles over equality, privacy and religious freedom after the U.S. Supreme Court last year legalized same-sex marriage in all 50 states.



Mississippi’s “Protecting Freedom of Conscience from Government Discrimination Act” sought to shield those who believe that marriage involves a man and a woman and that sexual relations should occur within such marriages. The law also protected the belief that gender is defined by sex at birth.



By citing those three religious grounds, the law would have allowed people to refuse to provide a wide range of services, from baking a wedding cake for a same-sex couple to counseling and fertility services. It also permitted dress code and bathroom restrictions to be imposed on transgender people.



Reeves, a judge in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi, said the law violated the guarantee of religious neutrality and the promise of equal protection under the law by granting special rights to citizens holding certain beliefs.



The law “favors Southern Baptist over Unitarian doctrine, Catholic over Episcopalian doctrine, and Orthodox Judaism over Reform Judaism doctrine,” he said.



LEGAL BATTLE CONTINUES



Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant, a Republican, signed the measure into law in April. The state has defended it as a reasonable accommodation intended to protect businesses and individuals seeking to exercise their religious views.



“I look forward to an aggressive appeal,” the governor said in a statement on Friday.



But state Attorney General Jim Hood, a Democrat named as a defendant in the lawsuit, issued a strongly worded statement in which he said he would have to “think long and hard” about whether to spend taxpayer money on an appeal.



“The fact is that the church-going public was duped,” Hood said, noting that Mississippi already has a law to protect those seeking to exercise religious freedoms.



“There will be a case in the future in which the U.S. Supreme Court will better define our religious rights,” he added. “This case, however, is not that vehicle.”



An appeal would bring the case before the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, said Roberta Kaplan, an attorney for the Campaign for Southern Equality, one of the plaintiffs.



Critics say the Mississippi law is so broad that it could apply to nearly anyone in a sexual relationship outside of heterosexual marriage, including single mothers. Several legal challenges were filed against various aspects of the law.



Earlier this week, Reeves addressed a provision allowing clerks to recuse themselves from issuing marriage licenses to gay couples based on religious beliefs, saying they had to fulfill their duties under the Supreme Court ruling.

Chaplain Pushes Back By Distributing Bibles at Base After Scripture Removed From Missing Man Table





BY HEATHER CLARK



SEE: http://christiannews.net/2016/07/01/chaplain-pushes-back-by-distributing-bibles-at-base-after-scripture-removed-from-missing-man-table/; republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:









DAYTON, Ohio — Following the removal of a Bible from a missing man table at an Ohio Air Force base due to the demands of a notorious church-state separation group, a military chaplain at the site is pushing back by distributing thousands of copies of the word of God to stationed airmen.



As previously reported, in April, the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) wrote to officials at the Wright-Patterson Air Force base after the organization allegedly received more than 30 complaints about the Bible’s inclusion in the display. MRFF claims that 10 of those who complained identified as Christian.



According to the National League of POW/MIA Families, the Bible is traditionally present at missing man tables, and “represents the strength gained through faith to sustain us and those lost from our country, founded as one nation under God.” The display additionally includes a place setting, a rose and a candle.







But in its letter to the Wright-Patterson Air Force base, MRFF asserted that the table should be moved to the base chapel or that it should be more inclusive of other religions.



“This is simply an example where the Air Force should have a policy that makes it absolutely clear that nobody’s religious affiliation is on [exclusive] display,” President Mikey Weinstein told the Air Force Times.



Days later, the base chose to remove the Bible from the missing man table.



“We thoroughly assessed this particular situation and made the determination to remove the Bible,” Marie Vanover, spokesperson for Wright-Patterson, told reporters. “Mutual respect is an essential part of the Air Force culture and we must ensure we create an environment in which people can realize their highest potential, regardless of one’s personal religious or other beliefs.”



But U.S. Air Force Chaplain Sonny Hernandez, who serves at the base, decided to push back against MRFF’s efforts. Hernandez was named the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center Individual Mobilization Accession Company Grade Officer of the Year in 2015, and also was recognized after organizing 70 volunteers to pack and distribute 450 meals for the homeless.



On June 4, Hernandez led a Bible distribution to airmen and civilians, which he outlined in a blog post entitled “Dear Military Religious Freedom Foundation: Remove One Bible, Thousands Will Take Its Place.”



“Mr. Weinstein does not contend with anyone who distributes material that references Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, leprechauns or fairies. Why? It is because none of them exist! Weinstein always contends with references of God because he knows God exists,” he wrote.



“Mr. Weinstein does not reject the truth of the Bible because it contradicts itself; instead, he rejects the Bible because it contradicts him, which is why he always tries to suppress the truth because he loves his sin,” Hernandez said.



He told Christian News Network this week that he has received much support from airmen at the base—a number of whom have expressed their desire to personally join the effort.



“I’ve actually been contacted by airmen at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base that are actually going to coalesce together, and they are involved now in distributing Bibles with me,” Hernandez stated. “I’ve had people call me and say, ‘Please get me boxes. I’ll fill my car up and I’ll make sure I distribute them as well.’”



“My goal now is to take thousands of Bibles there every month when I go to training,” he said.



Hernandez, who has sought to debate Weinstein on the topic of religious liberty, but did not receive a response, says that Christians should not be afraid of MRFF nor capitulate to its demands.



“If Mr. Weinstein and the MRFF try to interfere with legal intimidation,” he wrote in his blog post, “those who receive his demands will be reminded, ‘Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you (James 4:7).’”



As previously reported, Weinstein has a long history of expressing objection to Christian expression in the military. In 2013, he asked Department of Defense officials to punish superiors who attempted to proselytize their subordinates.



“It is a version of being spiritually raped and you are being spiritually raped by fundamentalist Christian religious predators,” Weinstein asserted.



He also appeared before Congress a year later, where he was questioned by Rep. Randy Forbes (R-Va.) about his hostility toward Christianity.



“On June 16, 2013, you said, ‘Today we face incredibly well-funded gangs of fundamentalist Christian monsters who terrorize their fellow Americans by forcing their weaponized and twisted version of Christianity upon their helpless subordinates in our nations armed forces.’ Did you you make that quote?” Forbes asked.



“I did,” Weinstein replied frankly.



Last year, he wrote a blog post calling for the ousting of Christian chaplains who disagree with same-sex “marriage,” and also demanded that Satan, Allah Odin and others be added to a “God bless the military” display in Hawaii.



In December, Weinstein sought to stop the Colorado Air Force Academy football teams’s practice of praying together on the field before games, but his request was struck down by military officials.



Editor’s Note: The opinions expressed by Sonny Hernandez are solely his and do not necessarily represent the views of any government, military or religious organization.

JUDGE STRIKES PART OF MISSISSIPPI CONSCIENCE ACT, REQUIRES CLERKS TO ISSUE “GAY MARRIAGE” LICENSES



BY HEATHER CLARK



SEE: http://christiannews.net/2016/06/29/judge-strikes-part-of-mississippi-conscience-act-requires-clerks-to-issue-gay-marriage-licenses/; republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:







JACKSON, Miss. — A federal judge who was appointed to the bench by Barack Obama has struck down part of Mississippi’s Freedom of Conscience Act, requiring clerks within the state to issue “gay marriage” licenses despite their religious convictions.



As previously reported, in April, Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant signed into law H.B. 1523, also known as the Protecting Freedom of Conscience from Government Discrimination Act. It was sharply criticized homosexual and transgender advocates.



“The sincerely held religious beliefs or moral convictions protected by this act are the belief or conviction that: marriage is or should be recognized as the union of one man and one woman; sexual relations are properly reserved to such a marriage; and male (man) or female (woman) refer to an individual’s immutable biological sex as objectively determined by anatomy and genetics at time of birth,” the legislation, authored by House Speaker Phillip Gunn, reads.







The bill prohibits the government from punishing those who decline to officiate same-sex ceremonies or provide services or accommodations for the celebrations, as well as those whose policies require use of locker and restrooms consistent with their biological gender.



It does not permit persons to refuse service in general, but only to decline forms of personal participation in events that conflict with their faith.



But the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed a legal challenge over the matter, representing two homosexual men—Nykolas Alford and Stephen Thomas—who called the law a “slap in the face” to their plans to tie the knot.



“H.B. 1523 has no rightful place in Mississippi or in our history books, and we’re hopeful this lawsuit can stop as much of it as possible before it goes into effect,” ACLU attorney Josh Block said in a statement.



On Monday, U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves struck down part of H.B. 1523, while leaving the rest of the law intact. He issued an order stating that all 82 county clerks must issue same-sex “marriage” licenses to homosexuals despite their religious beliefs, opining that an opt-out would run contrary to the U.S. Supreme Court ruling of Obergefell v. Hodges.



“Having reviewed the relevant section of HB 1523, the parties’ arguments, and the scope of the Supreme Court’s ruling in Obergefell, the Court finds that (Section) 3(8)(a) may in fact amend Mississippi’s marriage licensing regime in such a way as to conflict with Obergefell,” Reeves wrote.



“Mississippi’s elected officials may disagree with Obergefell, of course, and may express that disagreement as they see fit—by advocating for a constitutional amendment to overturn the decision, for example,” he said. “But the marriage license issue will not be adjudicated anew after every legislative session.”



The rest of H.B. 1523 will go into effect on July 1.



“If this opinion by the federal court denies even one Mississippian of their fundamental right to practice their religion, then all Mississippians are denied their 1st Amendment rights,” Mississippi Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves remarked in a statement following the court ruling. “I hope the state’s attorneys will quickly appeal this decision to the 5th Circuit to protect the deeply held religious beliefs of all Mississippians.”

CHURCH-STATE SEPARATION GROUPS TAKE ISSUE WITH IOWA GOVERNOR’S BIBLE READING PROCLAMATION 



BY HEATHER CLARK



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





DES MOINES, Iowa — Three church-state separation groups are expressing objection to a proclamation issued by the governor of Iowa that urges residents to participate in a statewide Bible reading marathon.



In April, Gov. Terry Branstad signed a proclamation at the state capitol urging participation in a 99 county Bible reading marathon scheduled for June 30 through July 3. The Iowa Prayer Caucus, the National Governor’s Prayer Team and the United States Prayer Council organized the event.



“Whereas all Scripture is essential to prepare us to be the people God wants us to be and to accomplish the purpose for which he created us,” the proclamation reads in part, “and whereas, America, being founded upon biblical principles and Judeo-Christian ethics, as taught in the Bible, paid tribute to the Bible for its important influence upon the development of our nation by many of our great national leaders such as President Washington, Jackson, Lincoln, Wilson…”







“Now therefore, I, Terry E. Branstad, governor of the state of Iowa do hereby encourage all Iowans to join in this historic Iowa 99 county Bible reading marathon to take place June 30 through July 3, 2016 in front of all 99 courthouses and furthermore, encourage individuals and families in Iowa to read through the Bible on a daily basis each year until the Lord comes,” it says.



But the American Civil Liberties Union of Iowa (ACLU), Iowa Atheists and Freethinkers, and the Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) are now expressing objection to the proclamation and assert that Branstad’s actions were unconstitutional.



“The governor’s proclamation is frankly outrageous and embarrassing, and inconsistent with our core American and Iowan principles of inclusion and respect of all its people of all faiths, as well as those who are not religious,” asserted Rita Bettis of the ACLU.



“Can you imagine the uproar if the governor used state resources to encourage people to go to a ‘God is Dead’ rally or a vigil to review how divisive religion is? Everyone can see how inappropriate that would be. This is exactly the same type of violation,” Annie Laurie Gaylor of FFRF also told reporters.



However, others state that Branstad’s proclamation is perfectly legal as it mirrors similar declarations made by the nation’s founding fathers.



“Gov. Branstad’s proclamation echoes Benjamin Franklin’s suggestion at the very Constitutional Convention itself that an appeal to God needed to be made for His intervention and that each day of the Convention must begin in prayer,” wrote Greg Baker of the Family Leader in a recent commentary on the matter.



“Or when President Abraham Lincoln in his Second Inaugural address boldly proclaimed that God was judging America for its sins and in order for the Civil War to end, America need to repent. President Lincoln issued numerous proclamations, calling America to days of fasting, prayer, and repentance,” he outlined.



Nathan Oppman, also with the Family Leader, also pointed to similar historical facts.



“In 1774 Congress informally employed the services of the rector of Christ Church in Philadelphia, Jacob Duché, and on July 9, 1776, he was formally elected as the first Congressional chaplain,” he said. “After Duché defected, Congress elected two chaplains from different denominations: William White and George Duffield.”



“This dual nomination demonstrated Congress’ concern that they not favor particular denominations. This practice was formally adopted in 1789 under a joint resolution after the Constitution was approved,” Oppman explained.



“Throughout the Revolutionary period, Congress issued annual proclamations of fasting and thanksgiving, including encouragement to ‘confess and bewail our manifold sins and transgressions, and by a sincere repentance and amendment of life, appease [God’s] righteous displeasure, and through the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ, obtain his pardon and forgiveness,'” he also noted.



Oppman said this indicated that “not only was Congress comfortable supporting religion, but they were comfortable supporting the Christian religion in particular” and even directly mentioned Jesus and the Holy Spirit.



“Moreover, in Iowa, governors have long issued religious proclamations. Gov. Kirkwood in 1876 called on Iowans to observe a day of Thanksgiving and specifically referenced Christianity. Gov. Sherman again called for a day of Thanksgiving in 1881,” he explained.



Baker said that the concept of separation of Church and State has been distorted.



“We seem to think it means that pastors cannot speak about government in the church and that the government cannot mention God,” he stated. “The phrase and principle, however, was originally stated and applied to protect Americans and the Church from a national church being founded, much like those in Europe, such as the Church of England. In America, we did not want to require everyone to attend one national church led by the government. Rather, we believed the two should be separate institutions.”



“Not only is Governor Branstad’s proclamation clearly constitutional, but we should thank him for being humble enough to look to a higher power—and not just any higher power, but our Lord Jesus Christ and His word,” Baker said.

MISSISSIPPI GOVERNOR SIGNS BILL CUTTING PLANNED PARENTHOOD FROM MEDICAID PROGRAM

MISSISSIPPI GOVERNOR SIGNS BILL 



CUTTING PLANNED PARENTHOOD 



FROM MEDICAID PROGRAM 



BY HEATHER CLARK



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





JACKSON, Miss. — The Republican governor of Mississippi has signed a bill cutting the abortion giant Planned Parenthood, as well as the state’s sole surgical abortion facility, from its Medicaid program.



“Happy to sign Senate Bill 2238. Taxpayer dollars should not fund abortions,” Tweeted Gov. Phil Bryant on Tuesday.



The bill had been sponsored by Sen. Joey Fillingane and only applies to facilities that perform non-therapeutic abortions. Therapeutic abortions are those performed due to fetal abnormalities or the life or health of the mother.







“[T]he division shall not authorize payment of part or all of the costs of care and services rendered by any entity that performs non-therapeutic abortions, maintains or operates a facility where non-therapeutic abortions are performed, or is affiliated with such an entity,” it reads in part.



“For purposes of this provision, ‘non-therapeutic abortions’ means abortions that are not qualified for federal matching funds under the Medicaid program,” the bill clarifies.



As previously reported, the sole Planned Parenthood location in Mississippi only provides referrals for abortions, but lawmakers believe that the state should not be affiliated with the organization. The Hattiesburg location had been receiving occasional reimbursement for birth control.



“You are the company you keep, and by Mississippi reimbursing Planned Parenthood through Medicaid, we are keeping that company,” Senate Medicaid Committee Chairman Brice Wiggins, R-Pascagoula, told reporters.



Fillingane outlined that Planned Parenthood refers mothers to the Jackson abortion facility and others out of state, and so he believes it is all the same in aiding an organization that helps women obtain abortions. He said that there are a number of entities in the state that provide women’s health services that aren’t involved with abortion.



“There are many other non-Planned Parenthood clinics and agencies that can provide these other services that the critics want to talk about,” Fillingane said.



“So it’s not as though you’re denying any services to, you know, poor women or women that can’t afford these treatments. They can go to the local health departments and get the same type of service that they can get at this clinic,” he continued. “The only difference is The Mississippi Department of Health and the health clinics are not also providing abortions, and so the monies that we send to those agencies do not also subsidize abortions in the state or in this country.”



Diane Derzis, a professing Christian who operates Jackson Women’s Health Organization—the last remaining surgical abortion facility in Mississippi—told liberal radio host Alan Colmes last October that even she hoped Planned Parenthood would be defunded.



“I agree that Planned Parenthood should be defunded. Absolutely,” she said. “They actually do more abortions than anyone in the country, even though they talk about doing only three percent, that’s not quite accurate—they do more than anyone in the country. And they are the Walmart of abortion. I’m not a Planned Parenthood defender here.”



Planned Parenthood is stated to perform approximately 40 percent of all abortions in America. In its annual report released at the end of December, the national office of Planned Parenthood outlined that the organization performed 323,999 abortions nationwide during the 2014-2015 fiscal year.



The bill stripping the organization of Medicaid reimbursement passed the Mississippi House 77 to 7 and the Senate 34 to 17. The law will now take effect on July 1.

Anti-Christian lobby group HRC tallies Obama’s long list of pro-homosexual and pro-transgender “accomplishments”



Another Dubious Obama LGBT "First": Barack Obama is obviously the first U.S. President to turn the White House--the people's house--into a symbol of homosexual-bisexual-transgender activism. The rainbow has been appropriated by the LGBTQ movement as the symbol of their sin movement.



Two More Dubious Obama LGBT “Firsts”: Obviously, Barack Obama is the first U.S. President to turn the White House–the American people’s house–into a symbol of homosexual-bisexual-transgender activism. (The rainbow has been appropriated by LGBTQ activists as the symbol of their de facto sin movement.) Obama is also the first president to sit for a photo-shoot for a homosexualist magazine, OUT Magazine, in its December 2015 issue.

Summary of President Obama’s Commitment to LGBT Equality [the homosexual-bisexual-transgender agenda]


Note to AFTAH readers: the following is a list of President Barack Obama’shomosexual-bisexual-transgender agenda “achievements,” produced by Human Rights Campaign, the world’s most powerful and well-funded LGBT lobby organization. [See the original HRC report on PDF HERE.] Even close followers of Obama’s socially left agenda will be surprised by the magnitude of his LGBT record. We have bolded some of the more important Obama actions–note especially #28 and #33 in which Obama undermined the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), thus accelerating the legal momentum for legalized same-sex “marriage.”

CBN INVITES “SENSUAL” CANDACE CAMERON BURE TO WHITE HOUSE DINNER, SAYS CHRISTIANS SHOUDN’T “JUDGE” 



BY HEATHER CLARK



SEE: http://christiannews.net/2016/04/30/cbn-invites-sensual-candace-cameron-bure-to-white-house-dinner-says-christians-shouldnt-judge/; republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:







WASHINGTON — Pat Robertson’s CBN News is defending its selection of talk show host and actress Candace Cameron Bure, who identifies herself as a “sexual woman,” as their guest at Saturday’s White House correspondents dinner, despite concerns over her involvement in sexually provocative broadcasts and postings of sensual photos to her social media pages. The outlet praised Cameron Bure as a role model in its press release about the invite, and its news director called Christians who express concern over her behavior “bullies” and stated that he doesn’t believe it’s anyone’s place to “judge.”



As previously reported, Cameron Bure has continued to raise concerns among Christians in recent weeks over her immodest attire and risque’ photographs, as well as her appearance on the sitcom “Fuller House,” which features immodesty, lesbian kissing, sexual and alcoholic references and other controversial content. Some mothers have expressed their disappointment to Cameron Bure that they cannot allow their daughters to view her appearances as they do not find the material to be appropriate.



First organized in 1921, the White House correspondents dinner is an annual event attended by journalists nationwide, and features an often humor-filled speech by the president, as well as other American celebrities. By the 1980’s, it became a custom for news outlets to invite celebrities to appear at the dinner as their guest.







CBN, which has no affiliation with Christian News Network, was founded by broadcaster Pat Robertson in 1960, who also hosts the internationally-viewed daily television broadcast “The 700 Club.” Robertson has been a controversial figure at times in the media, advising a man that it would be permissible to divorce his wife over Alzheimer’s since Robertson considers the disease “a kind of death,” and telling a woman who struggled with her husband’s infidelity, “Well, he’s a man.”



CBN says that it considers a list of professing Christians who they would consider to be role models in deciding who to invite as their guest. American Idol contestants Colton Dixon and Ruben Studdard, “Duck Dynasty’s” Willie and Korie Robertson, comedienne and former “The View” co-host Sherri Shepard, and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and his third wife Callista were all past guests of CBN.



This year, the outlet selected Cameron Bure and her husband Mark to be their guest at the White House dinner. Christian News Network asked Rob Allman, who has served as CBN’s news director for the past 12 years, about the vetting process for guests. Allman stated that he and others considered Cameron Bure’s work as a whole in making the selection, citing her role on “The View” and her 2014 appearance on “Dancing With the Stars.”



“We believe based on her body of work that Candace Cameron Bure has been an ambassador for the Christian community within the entertainment industry,” he said. “What I considered, and what we considered, as we discussed her work, her books, her stance, how she presents herself as she was asked to be on The View, how she presented herself all through her time on Dancing With the Stars—we felt it was a good idea.”



Cameron Bure’s 10-week appearance on “Dancing With the Stars” featured dances to songs such as Janet Jackson’s “Nasty,” Sam Smith’s “Stay With Me” and “I Love It” by Icona Pop.



The actress, who often wore dresses that cut high up her thigh, and in one dance wore a fabric clam shell top for a mermaid costume, acknowledged that some of her moves were sensual and sexual in nature. She told co-host Erin Andrews when asked how she balances her faith with performing a sensual dance, “I am a sexual woman. But, you know, I want to reserve certain things for my husband.”



“This rumba is not a sexual dance; it’s a sensual emotional dance,” Cameron Bure also contended of her dance to “Say Something” by Great Big World and Christina Aguilera. “Sensual is more sexy than raunchy sexy, so I think this is going to be a beautiful dance.”



Allman said that he found Cameron Bure’s appearance on “Dancing With the Stars” to be “quite inspirational” because she mentioned her Christian faith on the show and because he believed she “definitely took a more modest approach than anyone on the program.”



When asked if Allman was aware of the concerns surrounding “Fuller House,” he advised that he had heard some information about the matter but did not look into any of the show’s content. He also seemed not to be aware that Cameron Bure deleted from her social media pages a photograph of herself wearing a short, low-cut black lingerie-type dress on “Fuller House” after many Christians expressed concern over her immodesty and how it would reflect on being a role model to their daughters.



Allman, however, referred to Christians as “bullies” and pointed to another instance weeks later where some Christians expressed concern over a photo of a bikini that Bure had posted on her social media pages.



“Personally, I thought she was putting it out there to let Christians see how much of bullies they were,” he said. “But I don’t know.”



“Once these folks can somehow think that they are above others, in many cases they are really as good as the Pharisees and others who complained against Christ,” Allman stated.



He repeatedly asserted that Christians are not supposed to judge, stating that Jesus said not to do so and that Christians “sin every day in some shape, form or fashion.”



“It’s not our role to [judge],” Allman said. “We’re not judges of what others do.”



He would not comment when it was noted that Pat Robertson regularly makes judgments about right and wrong on “The 700 Club”—although at times controversial.



As previously reported, in the episode entitled “Funner House,” Cameron Bure, who plays D.J. Tanner, spends the evening drinking and dancing at a night club with her best friend Kimmy Gibbler and sister Stephanie Tanner.



As the women are preparing to leave the house, Tanner comments about her low-cut, short black dress, “I don’t know if I should be tugging this thing down or pulling it up.”



The women, who refer to themselves as the “She-Wolf Pack,” go to a night club called “Euphoria,” where they decide to order tequila shots. While at the club, Tanner tells Gibbler about her idea to do the “Dirty Dancing” routine together, and sister Stephanie Tanner speaks to M.C. Macy Gray about performing the song to get back at Gibbler’s “two-timing ex.”



During the dance-off, which also includes two men dancing suggestively, Tanner concocts a means to win by “bust[ing] out our big Dirty Dancing lift.”



“Sure that’s not the tequila talking?” Gibbler asks.



“Well, yeah, it totally is,” Tanner replies.



As the women win the dance-off, they are announced by Macy Gray as “luscious lesbians,” at which neither Tanner or her friend bat an eye.



“And the winners are these two luscious lesbians!” Gray declares. “Get up here you sexy people!”



“We’re the sexy people!” Tanner proclaims as she hurries to the stage and grabs the microphone. “I was just gonna stay in tonight, but my friends insisted that I go out and have some adult fun. They knew I needed to take care of me. Oh, I love you guys so d*rn much! Thank you, Euphoria! And the wait staff and the bartenders!”



“Shots for everybody! She-Wolf Pack is buying!” she announces.



The 12th episode of “Fuller House,” entitled “Save the Dates,” shows Kimmy Gibbler and Stephanie Tanner locking lips for several seconds until Gibbler’s ex-husband pulls them apart, and another contains a scene with heavy sexual references.



Fans of Cameron Bure posted remarks on Cameron Bure’s social media pages in expressing concern about her role in “Fuller House,” but she soon told them to take the debate elsewhere.



“I’m a little disappointed with the show,” one commenter wrote. “There are sexual references, immodest clothing, and you even said a curse word. It makes me sad.”



“I quit watching the show after the fourth one. There is too much crude humor and half nakedness and body flinging,” another stated. “For somebody who’s supposed to be a Christian is trying to please both worlds—it’s sad it had to come to this. It’s not something today’s kids should watch either.”



Allman stated that he would look into the Fuller House concerns, but defended CBN’s selection of Cameron Bure and asserted firmly, “I’m not going to put myself as some great judge over Candace or anyone else. … We are happy to be inviting Candace to be our guest at the White House correspondents dinner.”



Candace Cameron Bure’s church, Calvary Church of Pacific Palisades in California, did not return calls for comment on previous attempts. Ray Comfort of Living Waters Ministries, whom Cameron Bure cites as an influence in her personal testimony, also did not return calls for comment.

Michelle Obama Criticizes Mississippi Religious Freedom Bill During Commencement Speech



BY HEATHER CLARK





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





JACKSON, Miss. — Michelle Obama criticized Mississippi’s newly-signed religious freedom bill on Saturday during her commencement speech at Jackson State University, painting it to be antithetical to the civil rights movement and societal “progress.”



“We see it right here in Mississippi—just two weeks ago—how swiftly progress can hurtle backward,” she told students during her speech. “How easy it is to single out a small group and marginalize them because of who they are or who they love.”



As previously reported, last month, Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant signed into law the Protecting Freedom of Conscience from Government Discrimination Act, which prohibits the government from punishing those who pass up forms of participation in marital events for religious reasons.







“The state government shall not take any discriminatory action against a person wholly or partially on the basis that the person has provided or declined to provide … services, accommodations, facilities, goods, or privileges for a purpose related to the solemnization, formation, celebration, or recognition of any marriage, based upon or in a manner consistent with a sincerely held religious belief or moral conviction,” it reads in part.



The bill only pertains to events and does not permit the refusal of service in general. It also requires restroom use to correlate with birth gender.



“If we fail to exercise our fundamental right to vote, then I guarantee that so much of the progress we’ve fought for will be under threat,” Obama remarked on Saturday. “Congress will still be gridlocked. Statehouses will continue to roll back voting rights and write discrimination into the law.”



Amid citing that the Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium used to only be used by whites at one time and that “what was essentially a pro-Jim Crow rally” was once held at the location as well, she lumped same-sex and gender identity issues into the African American civil rights movement.



“So we’ve got to stand side by side with all our neighbors—straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender; Muslim, Jew, Christian, Hindu immigrant, Native American—because the march for civil rights isn’t just about African Americans, it’s about all Americans,” Obama said.



“It’s about making things more just, more equal, more free for all our kids and grand kids,” she stated. “That’s the story you all have the opportunity to write. That’s what this historic university has prepared you to do.”



Bryant had defended his signing of the law by noting that it “merely reinforces the rights which currently exist to exercise of religious freedom as stated in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.”



“Mississippians from all walks of life believe that the government shouldn’t punish someone because of their views on marriage,” also stated Alliance Defending Freedom legal counsel Kellie Fiedorek. “After all, you’re not free if your beliefs are confined to your mind. What makes America unique is our freedom to peacefully live out those beliefs, and the Constitution protects that freedom.”



An estimated 35,000 people flocked to hear Obama speak at the university, including approximately 800 graduates.

PARENTS SHOULD REFUSE 



COMMON CORE TESTS 



FOR THEIR CHILDREN















The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Pearson Tests



BY KATIE LAPHAM



SEE: https://criticalclassrooms.wordpress.com/2016/04/11/the-terrible-horrible-no-good-very-bad-pearson-tests/; republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:









Over the course of three consecutive days last week, students in grades 3-8 took Pearson’s New York State (NYS) Common Core English-language arts (ELA) tests.  As was the case in 2013, 2014 and 2015, the 2016 ELA tests were developmentally inappropriate, confusing and tricky.  Despite the New York State Education Department (NYSED)’s “adjustments” to the 2016 assessments, there was no improvement to the quality of the tests.



While I am barred from disclosing the reading passages and questions that appeared on the tests, in no way will I refrain from broadcasting to the world how outraged I continue to be – year after year – over New York’s oppressive testing regime.  Since 2013, when Pearson’s Common Core tests were first administered in New York state, I’ve been documenting this nightmare on my blog.



IMG_8354



On 4/3/16, Lauren Cohen and I demonstrated at NYC councilman Danny Dromm’s rally in Jackson Heights, Queens. Dromm was informing parents of their right to opt-out of the NYS Common Core tests. As a member of the MORE caucus of the UFT, Lauren is running for VP of Elementary Schools in the upcoming UFT election. She truly puts children first.





Here are my thoughts on the 2016 ELA test.  I have focused on third grade because these students – aged eight and nine – are our youngest NYS Common Core test-takers.



1.) The 2016 Common Core ELA test was as absurdly long as it was in 2013, 2014 and 2015 despite the fact that it was shortened by just one reading passage and by a handful of multiple choice questions.



    

  • Day One: 4 reading passages, 24 multiple-choice questions (Students darken the circles on Answer Sheet 1).
    • 

  • Day Two: 3 reading passages (same as 2015), 7 multiple-choice questions (Students darken the circles on Answer Sheet 2), 2 short-response questions (Students write answers directly in Book 2.) 1 extended-response question (Students write answer directly in Book 2).
    • 

  • Day Three: 3 reading passages (same as 2015), 5 short-response questions (Students write answers directly in Book 3) and 1 extended-response question (Students write answer directly in Book 3).
    • 




TOTALS: 10 reading passages, 31 multiple-choice questions, 7 short-response questions and 2 extended-response questions.



For the short-response questions, students typically write a paragraph-long response that must include at least two details from the passage. The extended-response question requires an essay-like written response: introduction, supporting evidence/details, conclusion. Where is the NYSED’s research that shows that this is an educationally sound testing program for a third grader? Seriously. Does anyone know how the NYSED justifies this? The length alone of these tests warrants our banging of pots and pans in city streets.



2.) Now let’s move on to content.  The reading passages were excerpts and articles from authentic texts (magazines and books).  Pearson, the NYSED or Questar did a poor job of selecting and contextualizing the excerpts in the student test booklets.  How many students actually read the one-to-two sentence summaries that appeared at the beginning of the stories? One excerpt in particular contained numerous characters and settings and no clear story focus.  The vocabulary in the non-fiction passages was very technical and specific to topics largely unfamiliar to the average third grader.  In other words, the passages were not meaningful. Many students could not connect the text-to-self nor could they tap into prior knowledge to facilitate comprehension.



3.) The questions were confusing.  They were so sophisticated that it appeared incongruous to me to watch a third grader wiggle her tooth while simultaneously struggle to answer high school-level questions. How does one paragraph relate to another?, for example. Unfortunately, I can’t disclose more.  The multiple-choice answer choices were tricky, too. Students had to figure out the best answer among four answer choices, one of which was perfectly reasonable but not the best answer.  Here’s what P.S. 321’s principal,Elizabeth Phillips, wrote about the 2014 Common Core tests.  Her op-ed We Need to Talk About the Test appeared in The New York Times on April 9, 2014.  These same issues were evident on the third grade 2016 ELA test.



“In general terms, the tests were confusing, developmentally inappropriate and not well aligned with the Common Core standards. The questions were focused on small details in the passages, rather than on overall comprehension, and many were ambiguous. Children as young as 8 were asked several questions that required rereading four different paragraphs and then deciding which one of those paragraphs best connected to a fifth paragraph. There was a strong emphasis on questions addressing the structure rather than the meaning of the texts. There was also a striking lack of passages with an urban setting. And the tests were too long; none of us can figure out why we need to test for three days to determine how well a child reads and writes.”



4.) The reading levels of the passages were above “grade” level, whatever “grade” level means these days.  One passage was an article recommended for students in grades 6-8. Has the NYSED done any research on early childhood education? Defending the Early Years cites a Gesell Institute of Child Development report that says,



“…the average age at which children learn to read independently is 6.5 years. Some begin as early as four years and some not until age seven or later – and all of this falls within the normal range.”



Yet for the NYS Common Core ELA test, the NYSED expects all third graders to be able to decode and comprehend texts that are typically used with fourth, fifth and sixth graders?



5.) While in theory I prefer untimed tests to timed tests, the lack of a time limit is of little comfort to students who are subjected to developmentally inappropriate tests.  Read this heartbreaking account by a New York City teacher who blogs atpedagogyofthereformed.wordpress.com. Of a former student, this teacher writes,



“After 18 hours of testing over 3 days, she emerged from the classroom in a daze. I asked her if she was ok, and offered her a hug. She actually fell into my arms and burst into tears. I tried to cheer her up but my heart was breaking. She asked if she could read for a while in my room to calm down and then cried into her book for the next 15 minutes.”



Leonie Haimson, Executive Director of Class Size Matters, noted in a post on her blogNYC Public School Parents that this “…appears to violate the NY law passed in 2014 that limits state testing time to one percent of total instructional time.” Additionally, fellowChange the Stakes member, Rosalie Friend, pointed out that “without a set time limit, the tests no longer are standardized.  Therefore, one cannot draw ANY conclusions from the scores.” So this alone seems to invalidate these $44 million tests.



Collectively, we must stop this insanity.  I’ve been sounding the alarm on these tests since 2013, and the vast majority of educators I know agree with me.  I’m beyond fed-up that I have to continue to administer these assessments to my students.  It is unconscionable to me that Chancellor Fariña, in her 3/15/16 letter to NYC parents, wrote that these tests are “incredibly important” and a “valuable experience for our students.” It’s been nearly a month since I read those words and my jaw is still on the floor.



Parents – if you haven’t already refused the tests, you still have time to opt-out of the Common Core math tests, which will be administered on April 13, 14 and 15 of this week.



Teachers and administrators – the Common Core testing climate in New York state is too dire for you to remain quiet.  Speak up and encourage parents to opt-out.  Boycotting these tests is the only way to change course.



May this video of these principled MORE teachers inspire you.

MISSISSIPPI GOVERNOR SIGNS RELIGIOUS FREEDOM LAW PROTECTING RIGHT TO DECLINE PART IN SAME SEX CEREMONIES 



BY HEATHER CLARK



SEE: http://christiannews.net/2016/04/06/mississippi-gov-signs-religious-freedom-law-protecting-right-to-decline-part-in-same-sex-ceremonies/; republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:







JACKSON, Miss. — The governor of Mississippi has signed into law a bill that provides protections to pastors, faith-based organizations and business owners who object to being complicit in another’s same-sex ceremony.



“I am signing HB 1523 into law to protect sincerely held religious beliefs and moral convictions of individuals, organizations, and private associations from discriminatory action by state government or its political subdivisions, which would include counties, cities and institutions of higher learning,” Gov. Phil Bryant said in a statement on Tuesday.



“This bill merely reinforces the rights which currently exist to exercise of religious freedom as stated in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution,” he said.







As previously reported, on Friday, the Mississippi House of Representatives passed H.B. 1523, also known as the Protecting Freedom of Conscience from Government Discrimination Act. It had been passed days prior in the Senate.



“The sincerely held religious beliefs or moral convictions protected by this act are the belief or conviction that: marriage is or should be recognized as the union of one man and one woman; sexual relations are properly reserved to such a marriage; and male (man) or female (woman) refer to an individual’s immutable biological sex as objectively determined by anatomy and genetics at time of birth,” the legislation, authored by House Speaker Phillip Gunn, reads.



The bill then prohibits the government from punishing those who decline to officiate same-sex ceremonies or provide services or accommodations for the celebrations, as well as those whose policies require use of locker and restrooms consistent with their biological gender.



It does not permit persons to refuse service in general, but only to decline forms of personal participation in events that conflict with their faith.



“The state government shall not take any discriminatory action against a person wholly or partially on the basis that the person has provided or declined to provide … services, accommodations, facilities, goods, or privileges for a purpose related to the solemnization, formation, celebration, or recognition of any marriage, based upon or in a manner consistent with a sincerely held religious belief or moral conviction,” it reads in part.



“The state government shall not take any discriminatory action against a person wholly or partially on the basis that the person establishes sex-specific standards or policies concerning employee or student dress or grooming, or concerning access to restrooms, spas, baths, showers, dressing rooms, locker rooms, or other intimate facilities or settings…”



Homosexual advocacy groups have expressed opposition to the legislation, asserting that it is discriminatory. Earlier this week, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Mississippi, the Human Rights Campaign, Planned Parenthood Southeast and the Southern Poverty Law Center gathered outside of Bryant’s mansion to urge him to veto the bill.



“H.B. 1523 is a vicious, unacceptable attack on fairness, equality and the rights of LGBT people,” HRC President Chad Griffin said in a statement. “Fair-minded Mississippians and the business community roundly condemn this legislation, and implore Governor Bryant and legislative leaders to stand on the right side of history…”



The Episcopal Diocese of Mississippi also released a statement remarking that it “stands as one with our brothers and sisters in the LGBT community and the Human Rights Campaign.”



“Many of them share a Christian faith that is deep and profound. We should embrace their quest for equality and justice rather than placing obstacles in their pathway,” it said.



But others have expressed support for the measure, opining that no one should be forced to do anything that violates their faith and causes them to facilitate another man’s sins.



“No person should be punished by the government with crippling fines or face disqualification for simply believing what President Obama believed just a few years ago, that marriage is the union of a man and a woman,” said Family Research Council President Tony Perkins in a statement.



“Big business and Hollywood have engaged in economic blackmail in Mississippi just like they have in Indiana, Georgia, North Carolina and Texas to try to force government discrimination of those who support natural marriage,” he said. “However, unlike Indiana and Georgia, leaders in Mississippi, North Carolina and Texas have chosen to defend the fundamental freedom of their citizens to believe and live according to those beliefs, rather than capitulate to the economic threats of big business and entertainment.”



“Mississippians from all walks of life believe that the government shouldn’t punish someone because of their views on marriage,” also stated Alliance Defending Freedom legal counsel Kellie Fiedorek. “After all, you’re not free if your beliefs are confined to your mind. What makes America unique is our freedom to peacefully live out those beliefs, and the Constitution protects that freedom.”

FALWELL’S UNBIBLICAL, LUDICROUS COMPARISON



JERRY FALWELL, JR. COMPARES DONALD TRUMP TO KING DAVID, TALKS ABOUT WATCHING ELTON JOHN TOGETHER ON PRIVATE JET



BY HEATHER CLARK



SEE: http://christiannews.net/2016/03/16/jerry-falwell-jr-compares-donald-trump-to-king-david-talks-about-watching-elton-john-together-on-private-jet/; republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:







With presidential campaigning in full force, Jerry Falwell Jr., president of what heralds itself as the world’s largest Christian university, is defending and cozying up to the lead contender on the Republican ticket, recently recalling to the university newspaper how he and Trump watched an Elton John concert together on the billionaire’s private jet—a man whose sins he dismissed by comparison to God’s appointment of King David.



As previously reported, Falwell has repeatedly sought to assure the American people of the mud-slinging, foul-mouthed candidate’s Christianity, pointing to the candidate’s good deeds as being the “fruit” that Jesus spoke of that characterizes a man who is born again.



“I’ve seen his generosity to strangers, to his employees, his warm relationship with his children,” he said on CNN’s “Legal View With Ashleigh Banfield” last month. “I’m convinced he’s a Christian. I believe he has faith in Jesus Christ.”







“I’ve had conversations with him just within the past few weeks about his faith, and I have no doubts he is a man of faith and he’s a Christian,” Falwell also stated on Fox’s “Hannity.”



“Matthew 7:16 tells us that ‘By your fruits you shall know them.’ Donald Trump’s life has borne fruit,” he told students during Trump’s appearance at Liberty University in January. “Fruit that has provided jobs to multitudes of people, in addition to the many he has helped with his generosity.”



“In my opinion, Mr. Trump lives a life of loving and helping others as Jesus taught in the Great Commandment,” Falwell declared.



In a recent interview with the Liberty University newspaper, the Liberty Champion, Falwell explained his endorsement of Trump, and recalled the time he spent with the presidential candidate on the campaign trail in Iowa—including on his 757 jet, where the two watched an Elton John concert together.



“He’s got this big living room with this big screen TV. He’s got a master bedroom he showed us,” he remembered. “Then he let my son and his wife actually sit in the cockpit to take off because my son’s a pilot. Then we sat there with him the whole time, just across the table.”



“[W]e ate cheeseburgers. Then he put on a concert,” Falwell said. “He found out that when I grew up in the 70s, I was an Elton John fan. So, he put the concert on the big screen.”



As previously reported, Trump, who states that he personally believes marriage should be between a man and a woman, celebrated Elton John’s “marriage” to his same-sex partner in 2005.



“I know both of them and they get along wonderfully. It’s a marriage that’s going to work,” he wrote on his Trump University blog. “In any event, I’m very happy for them. If two people dig each other, they dig each other. Good luck, Elton. Good luck, David. Have a great life.”



In Falwell’s interview with the university newspaper, he asserted that Christians shouldn’t be concerned about a candidate’s sinful lifestyle as much as the need to “save the country.”



“Jesus said, ‘Judge not, lest ye be judged. Let’s stop trying to choose the political leaders who we believe are the most godly because, in reality, only God knows people’s hearts. You and I don’t, and we are all sinners,” Falwell contended.



He acknowledged that some disagree with his endorsement of Trump.



“It is sad to see Christians attacking other Christians because they don’t support the same candidate or the candidate who they believe is the most righteous,” Falwell stated.



He pointed to King David in his reasoning, asserting that God still used him as a leader despite his sin.



“God called King David a man after God’s own heart even though he was an adulterer and a murderer,” Falwell said. “You have to choose the leader that would make the best king or president and not necessarily someone who would be a good pastor. We’re not voting for pastor-in-chief.”



In writing for the National Review on Monday, attorney David French found Falwell’s comparison to be faulty, noting that God punished David for his sin, and the nation suffered as a result.



“To mention King David in the same breath as Donald Trump is to insult our theological intelligence,” he stated. “Yes, David did terrible things—among them, committing adultery and sending his mistress’s husband to die in war—but God imposed terrible punishment—a punishment that cost David his son and ultimately plunged his nation into civil war.”



“And while God forgave David—as He forgives us today—He did not spare David from the cost of disobedience,” French continued. “Ultimately, David’s story is a story of both the awful consequences of sin and God’s mercy in response to true repentance.”



He said that the same will happen if America elects a leader living in open rebellion against God.



“Trump will bring us sin without repentance and consequence without the mercy,” French opined.



“Trump’s evangelical cheerleaders aren’t leading a flock—they’re following the mob,” he declared, expressing dismay at Falwell and others. “And as they follow the mob, they engage in ever-more bizarre theological and intellectual gymnastics to justify the unjustifiable.”

FROM DAVID CLOUD’S “WAY OF LIFE”: 




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



JERRY FALWELL, JR. COMPARES TRUMP TO KING DAVID (Friday Church News Notes, March 25, 2016,www.wayoflife.org, fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) – Jerry Falwell, Jr., Chancellor of Southern Baptist-aligned Liberty University, likens U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump to King David. In an interview with the school newspaper, Liberty Champion, he said that he has been friends with Trump since his first visit to Liberty in 2012 and has joined Trump on the campaign trail. He speaks of Trump as a down-to-earth guy who served Falwell and his family Wendy’s cheeseburgers and personally set up a big screen Elton John concert for Jerry, Jr., after learning that he is a long-time Elton John fan. The latter tells us a lot about Jerry, Jr.’s spiritual life as well as Liberty University’s true soul, and it goes far to answer why Falwell would be so enthusiastic about Trump for president. To love Elton John’s music is to affiliate intimately with the evil things of the world and is gross disobedience to God’s Word. “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them” (Eph. 5:11). “For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world” (1 John 2:16). Falwell said, Trump “is the kind of guy that will walk into Washington, kick over the tables, kick over the chairs, throw the bums out, start over, and do things that a career politician would never do.” He said further, “God called King David a man after God’s own heart even though he was an adulterer and a murderer. You have to choose the leader that would make the best king or president and not necessarily someone who would be a good pastor.” We would reply, first, that God called David a man after His own heart and called him to be king BEFORE his adultery and murder. Beyond that, while it is true that Trump will probably kick things around, and that is what his supporters want, since they are fed up with the status quo, this perspective does not take into account two fundamental issues: what will he kick? And how much power does a president have for kicking? Even the best president does not have the power to make substantive changes to the American government, let alone to America’s moral fiber. Such things would require overwhelming support from the American people, which does not exist on the good side, and an overwhelming majority in Congress, which is nowhere in sight. Substantial changes would require a massive dismantling of the incredibly bloated federal government and the welfare state. It would start with disbanding the Department of Education and putting education back into the hands of the families and communities. It would require impeaching hundreds of state and federal judges for ruling by fiat rather than according to the U.S. Constitution, for raising modern political correctness to the level of the Bill of Rights. It would require dramatic reduction of the power of vast bureaucracies such as the Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Homeland Security, and Occupational Health and Safety Administration. It would require the government to live within its means and not bankrupt future generations with a pile of debt so massive it can barely be conceived. Fundamentally, “winning American back” would require bringing the American people back to moral character and the fear of God. Can Donald Trump do any of that? Not a whit. I have never seen evidence that he aims to do any of that, even if he were dictator. A president is not a pastor, tis true, but a man lacking moral character will not make moral decisions nor promote national moral character. A man who vows “till death do us part” and breaks that holy covenant two times over has a serious moral problem. A man who signs his word on documents and then uses bankruptcy to back out of his financial obligations when things get sticky (which is legal but not moral), is a liar and a thief. Someone says, “But if not Trump, it will be Hillary.” That’s no choice at all, but though I might not have a choice at the ballet box, I am not left without a choice. I can pray to the One who has ultimate control over human affairs, and I can urge others to pray, and prayer is a powerful thing that has been known to change the course of nations. “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much” (James 5:16).
NOAH WEBSTER’S WISDOM COMPARED TO THAT OF JERRY FALWELL, JR. (Friday Church News Notes, March 25, 2016, www.wayoflife.org,fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) – Noah Webster, author of the American Dictionary of the English Language of 1828, who knew many of America’s Founding Fathers personally and was one of the most influential voices calling for the Constitutional Convention and the creation of America’s federal government, believed that it is necessary to elect righteous men to positions of authority. “When you become entitled to exercise the right of voting for public officers, let it be impressed on your mind that God commands you to choose for rulers just men who will rule in the fear of God. The preservation of a republican government depends on the faithful discharge of this duty; if the citizens neglect their duty and place unprincipled men in office, the government will soon be corrupted; laws will be made not for the public good so much as for selfish or local purposes; corrupt or incompetent men will be appointed to execute the laws; the public revenues will be squandered on unworthy men; and the rights of the citizens will be violated or disregarded. If a republican government fails to secure public prosperity and happiness, it must be because the citizens neglect the Divine commands and elect bad men to make and administer the laws. … When a citizen gives his suffrage [vote] to a man of known immorality he abuses his trust; he sacrifices not only his own interest, but that of his neighbor; he betrays the interest of his country” (Noah Webster, Letters to a Young Gentleman Commencing His Education: to which is subjoined A Brief History of the United States, 1823).
REVIVAL COULD COME (Friday Church News Notes, March 25, 2016, www.wayoflife.org fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) – The America that exists today simply could not do what it did 70 years ago to save the world from oppression. What’s missing today? God’s blessing. This is the answer that secular libertarians and unregenerate political conservatives don’t understand. Though America was not a godly nation in the 1940s when measured by the perfect standards of God’s Word, she was a nation that loved Israel, and she was a nation filled with churches that were much more faithful to God’s Word than they are today, and she was a nation of people that were much more God-fearing than they are today. The unchurched generally believed in God and feared Him and respected the Bible and respected churches and pastors, which was the salty influence of God’s people. Even Hollywood was bound by a moral code. The military chaplaincy program was robust and nearly universally respected. What was true during the war in my mom’s Baptist church in Kathleen, Florida, was true across the land. The church was open every day, and every day people knelt before God and confessed their sins and begged His help. American’s victory in WWII was not a foregone conclusion. Had Hitler developed the atomic bomb first, he would doubtless have used it first on Russia and then on America, and it could have been America surrendering rather than the Axis Powers. 
    America’s root problems are spiritual, and the only real solution is spiritual. The only thing that will help America out of her terrible plight is a true revival, and there could be revival. Though the time on God’s prophetic calendar is late, there is no reason to believe that genuine revivals can no longer occur. But revival in America or Canada or England or other lands with anything like a biblical heritage will happen only on the basis of 2 Chronicles 7:14. “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land” (2 Chron. 7:14). In context, this is a promise for Israel, but it has application to the church age. See Romans 15:4 and 1 Corinthians 10:11. 
    Nothing like a revival and lasting change will happen through Moral Majority programs or Tea Parties or Chick fil-A Days or Duck Dynasty support campaigns or bombastic, foul-mouthed Trump candidacies. As these have been tried repeatedly and enthusiastically over the past few decades, the moral depravity has only increased and the power of the forces for right and liberty has only decreased because these are carnal weapons that deal merely with symptoms and cannot affect the fundamental spiritual issues. These are band-aids on cancer. They can win minor socio-political skirmishes but not spiritual wars. Keeping Duck Dynasty on the air two years ago was not a sign of moral victory at a fundamental level; it was a sign of the power of the almighty dollar. At the very time that A&E was being pressured into keeping Duck Dynasty’s Phil Robertson on the air by an outpouring of support via social networking and “new media” sites, federal judges were ruling against biblical marriage in Utah and Ohio, and the Supreme Court ruled against biblical marriage laws in New Mexico. Which of these events will have the most far-reaching and lasting consequences? The heart of the tree is being eaten away even as the watchers are rejoicing at supposedly keeping a few leaves alive. 
  Revival could happen if individual Christians and individual churches repent before God at a deep level, repent of their adulterous love for this God-hating world, repent of their spiritual carelessness and lukewarmness, and beseech His help. 
    If even 100 Bible-believing churches took 2 Chronicles 7:14 seriously, who knows what would happen? If they started a weekly prayer meeting specifically for revival, specifically to beseech God’s help for the nation, if they called for fasting and prayer, and if the members of those churches would spend time seeking God’s face in a persistent manner, who knows how far the forces of evil could be driven back? God has never needed a majority. Gideon’s brave and vigilant few are enough. 
    The very fact that it is unlikely that even 100 Bible-believing churches will call for such prayer meetings, and that the majority of the members would not attend such meetings even if the pastors exhorted them to do so, is evidence that what I have often said is true about the root problem being the churches themselves. Even the best, for the most part, are lukewarm, settled down and comfortable in the world, not pilgrims but dwellers, mighty for pot luck and parties but weak for spiritual warfare.

WITHOUT SEEING SCALIA’S BODY, THIS JUDGE DETERMINES NO NEED FOR AUTOPSY







Guevara Said She Misspoke About Scalia 



Dying of a Heart Attack




“Guevara’s ruling about Scalia’s death was controversial because she announced the cause of death without seeing his body. Although this is allowed by Texas law, many questioned her decision. According to WFAA 8, Guevara said she was shopping in the nearby town of Alpine when the Presidio County Sheriff called her and said a Supreme Court Justice had passed away at Cibolo Creek Ranch and he needed someone there immediately because both justices of the peace were out of town. For the next 20 minutes, they called back and forth because cell reception was spotty in that area. She pronounced him dead over the phone at 1:52 pm and planned to drive to the ranch. However, she turned back when a U.S. Marshal told her it wasn’t necessary and they only needed to know if Scalia needed an autopsy. She told WFAA that she asked the sheriff if there were any signs of foul play and he said no.”



Scalia cause of death, cinderela guevara



JUSTICE SCALIA ALREADY EMBALMED, OBAMA GETS A THIRD SUPREME COURT NOMINEE 



BY MELISSA DYKES




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







Gee… this doesn’t look suspicious at all…



Justice Scalia, we are told, died in his sleep Saturday night. He was found with a pillow over his head. By Saturday afternoon, he was being pronounced dead of a heart attack. The judge who pronounced him dead, Presidio County Judge Cinderela Guevara, did so over the phone without ever seeing the body, via Local ABC affiliate WFAA8:





She planned to drive to the ranch — about 30 minutes south of Marfa — but returned when a U.S. Marshal told her by phone: “It’s not necessary for you to come, judge. If you’re asking for an autopsy, that’s what we need to clarify.”





O…kay…





The family, reportedly, did not want an autopsy and the judge decided against it after speaking with the authorities on the scene over the phone. Meanwhile WFAA8’s Jason Whitely reported that same day Scalia’s body was discretely driven from Presidio County over three hours to El Paso where he was already embalmed overnight.



Was that even a full 24 hours from the time he died that they were already embalming him?



Many others have called for an autopsy due to the judge’s influential position coupled with the suspicious circumstances surrounding this situation, via WND:





William Gheen, president of the Americans for Legal Immigration political action committee, noted the media’s “rush” to proclaim Scalia’s death in a rented room in a resort in Texas as either “natural causes” or heart attack within hours of the discovery of his body.



“Anytime a head of state, member of Congress, or the most conservative member of the U.S. Supreme Court is found dead, an extensive autopsy and toxicology examination should be both immediate and mandatory,” said Gheen. “The horrid reaction and comments about his death expressed by many liberals online illustrate that Scalia was hated by many people. His death hands the power of the Supreme Court to the modern left for the first time in American history. The court can now vote, even without a replacement of Scalia, to radically change the United States of America. Scalia’s death means the Supreme Court is now very likely to rubber stamp Obama’s unconstitutional amnesty orders, tear down Republican drawn districts in many states including North Carolina, and take deep left turns on abortion, gun rights, or anything the liberals have ever dreamed of. Scalia was a solid vote against Obama’s immigration orders to be decided by April of this year. We do not contend there is a conspiracy, we contend that there should be no doubts, and the way authorities and the media are rushing conclusions will leave major doubts and legitimate concerns about a death that could lead to a radical political transformation of America to the left.”




 Coming up on the court’s docket just happened to be all manner of Obama legacy items including Obamacare and immigration. Obama was already discussing his Constitutional duty to replace Scalia at his press conference on the justice’s death. Apparently there’s a window coming up when the Republican-controlled Senate’s term runs out on Jan. 3rd, 2017 and Obama isn’t out until Jan. 20th… meaning for 17 days he can appoint a justice and the Senate can’t block his nomination.



And in other news, Supreme Court justices are appointed for life and — in the crazy land America has now become —  a full one third of the highest court in our land is about to be comprised of Obama nominees.



This is the kind of event that lets you know the corruption behind devious inventions like Obamacare go far beyond the puppet the real owners running things have propped up in the White House.

Scalia Death, With “Pillow Over his Head,” Sparks Suspicion



by ALEX NEWMAN



SEE: http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/politics/item/22555-scalia-death-with-pillow-over-his-head-sparks-suspicion; republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:









Suspicions and unanswered questions surrounding the surprise weekend death of pro-Constitution U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia are swirling around the Internet and beyond. Many of the concerns center on the fact that the man who found Scalia’s body, businessman and Democrat donor John Poindexter, said the late justice was discovered with “a pillow over his head.” Also sparking alarm among some commentators and suspicious citizens are reports and official statements indicating that no autopsy will be conducted, despite contradictory claims surrounding the cause of death. Even the establishment press, apparently unfamiliar with the definition of the term “conspiracy theory,” has started reporting on the concerns and questions, albeit generally with a dismissive tone. Cries for an autopsy and congressional probe are growing louder, too, even as the White House, Democrats, and leftists waste no time in plotting to name a successor and tip the balance of power. The atmosphere is getting very tense.



Justice Scalia, the longest-serving member of the high court, died at an exclusive West Texas ranch on Saturday, February 13, at age 79. Media accounts citing local officials have reported that he died of natural causes. Contradicting that, however, other reports, also citing local officials, said Scalia died of a heart attack, also known as “myocardial infarction.” The judge who pronounced Scalia dead did so over the phone without having seen the body, and without ordering an autopsy, news agencies reported. So it was not immediately clear how the cause of death was determined. A justice of the peace in the Texas county where Scalia died, though, was quoted as telling the Washington Post that she would have ordered an autopsy in article about“chaos, confusion and conflicting reports” after the death. “If it had been me … I would want to know,” the official said on Sunday, echoing the thoughts and concerns of millions of Americans. Scalia’s family reportedly declined to request an autopsy as well, though, and apparently the plan was to have the body quickly embalmed.



Speaking to the San Antonio Express-News, Houston businessman Poindexter, who owns the massive luxury ranch where Scalia died, lit a firestorm of controversy with a comment he made. “We discovered the judge in bed, a pillow over his head,” Poindexter was quoted as saying in comments that rapidly spread across the Internet, the blogosphere, and beyond. “His bed clothes were unwrinkled.” The ranch owner noted that he sat near Scalia and had a chance to observe the justice before he went to his room at around 9 p.m. the night before. Scalia’s behavior “was entirely natural and normal,” Poindexter, who received an award from Obama, was quoted as saying in media reports. Scalia apparently went to bed early and had specifically declined a security detail for the occasion, according to media reports. In other words, there were no known witnesses to the death — a fact that numerous commentators said was enough, in and of itself, to demand a thorough autopsy.   



When Scalia failed to get up the next day, Poindexter said he entered the room and found the justice dead. “He was lying very restfully. It looked like he had not quite awakened from a nap,” the ranch owner was quoted as saying. “His hands were sort of almost folded on top of the sheets. The sheets weren’t rumpled up at all.” Everything in the room “was in perfect order,” Poindexter continued, adding that Scalia was in his pajamas, “peacefully, in bed.” Friends cited in multiple media reports, meanwhile, confirmed that Scalia was “his usual, happy self during the time leading up to his death,” as the Chicago Tribune put it. Why or how the justice would have gotten a pillow over his head was not immediately clear, and it this point, the public may never find out. But it is certainly unusual.  



It was only the second time in over six decades that a sitting Supreme Court justice has passed away. Members in recent decades have chosen to retire rather than hold office until death, according to media reports. Scalia had not indicated any plans to retire and was said to be in relatively good health, despite some chronic health conditions reportedly cited by his doctor. With his passing, though, the balance of the court has decisively swung further away from the Constitution. Indeed, considering the widespread misunderstanding among Americans that the high court has the authority to write the “law of the land,” more than a few top political figures have suggested that Americans’ God-given rights now hang in the balance.



The gleeful and ghoulish reactions by extreme leftists and Obama supporters also sparked alarm among suspicious citizens and commentators. Radical statist group MoveOn.org, funded by billionaire statist George Soros, celebrated the “HUGE [sic] opportunity” to have the Obama administration and the federal government do things that “were impossible just days ago.” Those “things,” the group said, include trashing the First Amendment right to free speech when people associate together in groups, overturning state laws to ensure election integrity, keeping Obama’s anti-constitutional “climate” decrees in place after they were recently blocked by the court, and waging war on the few restrictions that exist against the killing of pre-born children. Other leftist groups and anti-Constitution extremists expressed similar statements. Some especially hateful voices even openly celebrated Scalia’s death on social media.  



While an autopsy has apparently been ruled out, critics of the handling of the news contend that one must be done — assuming it is still possible. Numerous organizations, talk-radio giants, commentators, writers, and citizens have started calling for one.



Among prominent figures sounding the alarm is radio host Alex Jones, one of the top radio personalities in America with a media empire that has an audience dwarfing many establishment outlets. On Sunday, Jones released a video on Facebook in which he suggested Scalia may have been murdered. In a follow-up video about whether the New World Order-promoters murdered the justice, Jones noted that many prominent Americans in the know have been suggesting for some time that the ongoing “war for the country” was becoming more serious — so serious that people standing in the way of totalitarianism, such as Scalia, could end up murdered. Jones’ news portal Infowars.com, meanwhile, featured information on an (unscientific) poll conducted by Conservative Outfitters that found eight in ten of the more than 40,000 people who voted suspecting “foul play.”  



Another top media personality asking questions was Michael Savage, among the top five most influential and most widely listened to talk-radio hosts in America. “Was [Scalia] murdered?” Savage asked during his program. “We need a Warren Commission-like federal investigation…. This is serious business.” He also called for an immediate autopsy, according to media reports. In a follow-up post on his website, Savage also wondered how the left would react if anti-U.S. Constitution zealot Ruth Bader Ginsburg died under similar circumstances with a pillow on her face in the final year of a Republican administration at a property owned by a mega-donor for the GOP. And in an interview with Savage on Tuesday, leading GOP presidential contender Donald Trump, when asked whether the candidate would support a Warren Commission-style probe, noted that “they found a pillow on his face, which is a pretty unusual place to find a pillow.” Trump did not say whether he would support a commission.



“There was no medical examiner present. There was no one who declared the death who was there. It was done by telephone from a U.S. Marshal appointed by Obama himself,” Savage said, outlining some of the many reasons why suspicion, whether warranted or not, is spreading like wildfire across America. “The question is, is it a conspiracy theory to ask questions that are so obviously in need of answer, or is it just common sense. And where is the common sense both in the press and the Republican Party. The answer is nowhere.” Of course, questions, by definition, cannot be a “conspiracy theory, despite the establishment media’s misuse of the term.



The pro-life group Operation Rescue, in an e-mail to supporters, highlighted the “disturbing conflicting reports that have surfaced concerning Justice Scalia’s sudden and unexpected death,” and the fact that no autopsy was planned to investigate it. “Operation Rescue calls for a full inquiry into Scalia’s death and respectfully requests that an autopsy be performed in order to put to rest unanswered questions regarding his passing,” said the organization, one of many that has asked questions and called for answers to put any and all doubts to rest.



Writing in American Thinker, James Lewis noted that the leftist hatred for Scalia was intense, and that it should force the FBI to re-examine the death threats he likely received over the years. “The American public must also know on whose authority an obviously necessary post-mortem examination was avoided,” he wrote. “The best way to restore public trust is to appoint a bi-partisan Congressional committee to oversee a medical pathology team.” While Justice Scalia’s sudden passing “may have been” due to natural causes, “for the first time since the assassinations of JFK and Martin Luther King, Jr. many Americans are sincerely wondering what might have happened.” And those are not just Americans on the “the paranoid fringe,” Lewis added. Indeed, the circumstances make it “crucial to have a Joint Committee of Congress to put any reasonable doubts to rest.”



Some establishment-minded analysts have dismissed suspicions of foul play, noting that Scalia was already 79 and, according to his doctor, suffered from a variety of health issues. An article by the Dallas Observer notes that “conspiracy theories” about the death are proliferating, for example, and lambastes the growing number of high-profile commentators for expressing their suspicions and asking questions. But then, the same article outlines three theoretically feasible ways in which the justice could have been murdered while leaving little evidence of the crime for investigators.  



At the top of the list is smothering, something that could be seen as consistent with the pillow over Scalia’s head. “Even a close examination can miss this cause of death,” the Observer reported. It then cites a book on forensic pathology written by Dinesh Rao. “Homicidal smothering is extremely difficult to detect,” reads the book. “The autopsy may reveal asphyxia, but there may not be any corroborative medical evidence to prove foul play.” Other methods include various poisons that give the appearance of a natural death or heart attack. Of course, the federal government has had such technology for generations — ice darts with poison that melt and leave no trace — as revealed in congressional hearings. The article cites the murder of Nevada State Controller Kathy Augustine with succinylcholine — extremely difficult to detect even in autopsies — as an example of how it could be done. Finally, gassing with carbon monoxide, the evidence of which could be concealed with a pillow on the face, was also listed.



If nothing else, the fact that suspicions have spread so quickly and widely among Americans says a great deal about the polarization of America in recent years. Today, it was one of the top news items in America, according to automated news aggregating services. The obvious lack of trust also highlights the growing sentiment by huge swaths of the American public, as shown consistently across polling and surveys, that the nation’s rulers are out of control and willing to do just about anything to get their way. Washington, D.C, and the Obama administration are responsible for that, regardless of how loudly they decry it.    



As virtually all of the suspicious commentators have said, it is entirely plausible — even likely — that Scalia died of natural causes or a heart attack. The simplest way to silence the questions, suspicions, and speculation, though, would be for a thorough and independent autopsy to be conducted. In fact, there are few, if any, legitimate reasons why an autopsy should not be done — unless somebody has something to hide.

Was Scalia Murdered? 



Forget “Conspiracy Theory.” This Is Real.



BY JON RAPPOPORT



SEE: http://www.activistpost.com/2016/02/was-scalia-murdered-forget-conspiracy-theory-this-is-real.html?; republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:









Let’s jump right in with quotes from the Washington Post, 2/15, “Conspiracy theories swirl around the death of Antonin Scalia”. The Post published extraordinary statements from the Facebook page of “William O. Ritchie, former head of criminal investigations for D.C. police”:



“As a former homicide commander, I am stunned that no autopsy was ordered for Justice Scalia.”



“You have a Supreme Court Justice who died, not in attendance of a physician. You have a non-homicide trained US Marshal tell the justice of peace that no foul play was observed. You have a justice of the peace pronounce death while not being on the scene and without any medical training opining that the justice died of a heart attack. What medical proof exists of a myocardial Infarction? Why not a cerebral hemorrhage?”



“How can the Marshal say, without a thorough post mortem, that he was not injected with an illegal substance that would simulate a heart attack…”



“Did the US Marshal check for petechial hemorrhage in his eyes or under his lips that would have suggested suffocation? Did the US Marshal smell his breath for any unusual odor that might suggest poisoning? My gut tells me there is something fishy going on in Texas.”



If this isn’t enough, the Post goes on:



“Scalia’s physician, Brian Monahan, is a U.S. Navy rear admiral and the attending physician for the U.S. Congress and Supreme Court. He declined to comment on Scalia’s [prior] health when reached by telephone Monday at his home in Maryland.



“‘Patient confidentiality forbids me to make any comment on the subject,’ he said.”



“When asked whether he planned to make public the statement he’s preparing for [Texas Judge] Guevara, Monahan repeated the same statement and hung up on a reporter.”



As long as no law-enforcement investigation of Scalia’s death is launched, the doctor is justified. Confidentiality applies, unless Scalia’s family lifts it. But if such an investigation is opened, all bets are off. Confidentiality no longer applies.



There are reports that, after Scalia’s body was transported from the celebrity ranch in Texas, closely guarded and shielded by a bevy of marshals, it was rapidly embalmed. If so, that would apparently make toxicological tests far more difficult or impossible.



As for a murder motive, try: upsetting the voting balance of the US Supreme Court. Try: a push to appoint a new Justice now, thus ensuring the appointee’s political persuasion, regardless of the outcome of the 2016 Presidential election. Try: attempting to shift the Court’s voting balance in upcoming cases on abortion, immigration, and Obamacare.



Dismiss the comfortable notion that “this couldn’t happen.” JFK couldn’t have been murdered, but he was. High political figures don’t carry special immunity.



Dismiss assurances from incompetents in Texas that Scalia died of natural causes, and dismiss the press repeating these assurances—which add up to: nothing.



Dismiss calls for “propriety in a time of grief.”



Dismiss whatever opinions, pro and con, circulate now about Scalia, his points of view, his decisions, his character, his life. They’re irrelevant to the facts of his death. Those facts are as clear as mud.



Dismiss the typical accusations of “conspiracy theory.” It’s no theory when key facts are unknown and incompetents supplied the current “information.”



In addition to what I’ve cited above, count as relevant the fact that Scalia’s federal protection had been removed while he was at the Texas ranch. We’re told Scalia didn’t want that protection. Maybe yes, maybe no. We’re also told Scalia’s family didn’t want an autopsy. Again, maybe yes, maybe no. The family has been silent. Or if not, their statements aren’t being reported.



Consider, as potentially relevant, the report that Scalia was found with a pillow over his head.



Consider, as relevant, that Judge Guevara, deciding without seeing the body that Scalia died from natural causes, ruled against doing an autopsy—and a counter-opinion, offered unofficially by another Texas judge, Bishop, that she would have wanted an autopsy.



Concerning Judge Guevara, this may or may not be relevant—heavy.com reports, “Judge Cinderela Guevara: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know”:



“This isn’t the first time Guevara has been the source of controversy. In 2013, Melaney Parker Rayburn was found dead after being hit by a train in Marfa, Texas… Liz Parker, Melaney’s mom, questioned how Guevara handled the investigation of her daughter’s death, The Daily Kos reported. Melaney was hit by a Union Pacific Railroad train and, Liz [her mother] wrote, a Union Pacific representative told her that it appeared that her body had been placed on the tracks while she was unconscious. Liz asked the Justice of the Peace and the Sheriff to open the case as a homicide investigation, but they would not. Guevara, who was a Justice of the Peace at the time, did not order a rape kit or an autopsy, Liz wrote, because a doctor at the scene said the cause of death was obvious.



“Liz later wrote a letter to the editor, published on Big Bend Now, in which she said that Guevara had asked for God to give her an answer about whether Melaney’s death was suicide. Liz wrote that Guevara told her: ‘Yes, this was a tragedy, but the true tragedy was that she died without accepting Jesus Christ as her savior.’”



Bottom line so far: Any reasonable law-enforcement agency would immediately open an investigation into Scalia’s death. Failing to do so would rate as aiding and abetting a concealment of the truth, whatever that turns out to be.

The Sudden Death Of Justice Scalia 



And What It Means For America





BY DAISY LUTHER



SEE: http://www.activistpost.com/2016/02/the-sudden-death-of-justice-scalia-and-what-it-means-for-america.html; republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:









The announcement of the sudden mysterious death of Justice Scalia of the US Supreme Court monopolized the media this weekend. This is only the 2nd time in the past 60 years that an active justice has died. With only 8 members on the Court now, the Constitutional dialogue may grind to a halt for quite some time.



How the death of Justice Scalia affects us



No matter where you stand on the political scale (even if you stand off it entirely), there are some pretty major ramifications when an acting Supreme Court Justice passes away. Not all of these things are guaranteed to happen, but all are within the realm of possibility and important to note to those who were dancing on the grave of Scalia before his body was even cold.




Mac Slavo of SHTFplan wrote a fine article about the derailment of the court that you’ve got to read. These are a few of the important cases pending that will be disrupted due to the death of Justice Scalia:


    

  • labor unions

Equally worrisome to the Court grinding to a halt completely is the possibility that Obama will manage to get a replacement in there that will act to support his unconstitutional executive actions on topics such as freedom of speech, gun control, and privacy.



While I consider myself neither a Republican nor a Democrat (I refuse to endorse the rigged, partisan system) it’s obvious that the balance of power in our country hangs by a thread, and the sudden death of a Supreme Court Justice who is currently on the bench could effectively lock up the government until a replacement is sworn in. And that replacement will set the tone for the country for a very long time. Right now, the remaining Justices are evenly split based on who nominated them: 4 were nominated by Republican presidents and 4 by Democrat presidents. The Justice who is chosen to replace Scalia could change everything.



President Obama has about 340 days remaining in office, and it’s very likely that the Republican-majority Congress will do everything possible to fight his nominations in the hopes that a Republican president is elected. The longest vacancy in the past 100 years was during Richard Nixon’s presidency and lasted 391 days.



And there are a lot of questions about Justice Scalia’s death



Let me preface this by pointing out some facts:




Now, obviously none of these facts preclude the possibility that he was murdered, but they do show that it isn’t an outrageous to believe he died of a heart attack. If you apply the theory of Occam’s Razor (“when you have two competing theories that make exactly the same predictions, the simpler one is the better”), natural causes are indeed the most likely scenario.



But then, you have to add up this ever-growing pile of exceptionally weird inconsistencies.



Pronounced dead over the phone? No autopsy? Already embalmed? WHAT? Things that make you go, hmmmm….right?



Let me say it again…get prepared



At the risk of preaching to the choir, beating a dead horse, and about a dozen other cliches about repeating myself, please let me encourage you to take stock of your preparations and fill in the gaps. This is the kind of thing that could tip over a huge chain of events that will affect us all.




If you’ve been thinking of getting your prepper homestead started, now is the time to focus with single-minded determination on becoming more self-reliant. If you wait until the government is cracking down or the situation is desperate, you may be in for some unpleasant surprises.



I keep ringing this warning bell not just to hear myself talk, but because I really, truly believe that freedom comes with self reliance. Each thing you are able to provide for yourself buys you just a little bit more freedom than the neighbors who are waiting for the government to save them. We’re entering the edge of a perfect storm right now, with the volatile economy, enemies abroad and, now, a government that may be unable to fully function. We are in a situation unlike any we’ve seen before, and no one can predict how things will go down. Hopefully, nothing terrible will happen, but if it does, do you want to look back and think about how you ignored the urging to ramp up your preparations? We could easily end up in a situation like that of Venezuela, where the economy has collapsed and the country is out of food.



What do you think happened in the death of Supreme Court Justice Scalia?



This is could be a turning point for our country, and not one that turns us in the direction of freedom.



Do you have any theories about this sudden (and convenient for President Obama) death? Do you feel that he died of natural causes or something more suspicious?  How long do you expect it to take for a successor to be named and confirmed? How do you foresee this affecting the average person?

TRUMP WAS AT THEIR “WEDDING”:




Trump Promises ‘More Forward Motion’ 



on ‘Gay Equality’ Under Presidency



BY HEATHER CLARK



SEE: http://christiannews.net/2016/02/07/trump-promises-more-forward-motion-on-gay-equality-under-presidency/; republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:









EXETER, N.H. — Donald Trump told a lesbian publisher in New Hampshire on Thursday that the American people will see “more forward motion” on “gay equality” under his presidency, citing it as a part of his effort to bring people together.



Trump was interviewed in Exeter by Susan O’Connell, the publisher of Bay Windows, which according to its website is “New England’s largest publication for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender readers.”



“I’m a lesbian,” she told Trump. “And we’ve had some great progress for the gay and lesbian community through politics, through all sorts of judicial actions and elected actions over the past 20 years.”







“When President Trump is in office can we look for more forward motion on equality for gays and lesbians?” O’Connell asked.



“Well, you can,” Trump replied. “And look, again, we’re going to bring people together. And that’s your thing and other people have their thing. We have to bring all people together, and if we don’t we’re not going to have a country anymore. It’s going to be a total mess. It’s a mess right now, and it’s going to be worse.”



“So, it’s a very important choice this presidential year—very important—maybe the most important we’ve had in many, many decades,” he continued. “And I’m going to bring people together.”



Trump has stated that he does not support same-sex “marriage,” but also told reporters last year that he believes the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges is “the law of the land.”



“You have to go with it. I mean, you have to go with it. The decision has been made, and that is the law of the land,” he told MCNBC last September when asked about the controversy surrounding Kentucky clerk Kim Davis.



Trump has also acknowledged that he himself has attended a homosexual “wedding,” telling the Hollywood Reporter last year that he attended the ceremony of Broadway theater owner Jordan Roth.



“I like the idea of amending the 1964 Civil Rights Act to include a ban on discrimination based on sexual orientation,” he told the homosexual publication “The Advocate” in 2000. “We don’t need to rewrite the laws currently on the books, although I do think we need to address hate-crimes legislation. But amending the Civil Rights Act would grant the same protection to gay people that we give to other Americans. It’s only fair.”



Former Democratic President Jimmy Carter, who claimed to reporters last year that Jesus would support “gay marriage,” said last week that he would prefer Trump for president over Ted Cruz because he finds Trump to be “malleable,” meaning pliable or able to be influenced or swayed. He called Cruz “far right wing” and lamented that he is not “malleable” on the issues.



“Trump has proven already that he is completely malleable,” Carter said. “I don’t think he has any fixed positions that he would come to the White House and fight for.”
