{ipatriot.com} ~ Action has now charged out the gate to take down the most evil man on earth, Communist Billionaire George Soros, a citizen of the U.S. and Hungary... by prosecuting him for Treason and Sedition. Both are serious actions that can bring the death penalty. Treason means to work with enemies to cause chaotic harm, destabilize and interfere with your own country with the goal of its destruction and seizure to replace it with another government. Sedition is inciting disorder in a country, which is similar, but with the same severe consequences. Soros, who lives in New York, has over 200 ‘non-profit’ organizations created for that very reason, to destroy America and put this country under Communist dictatorship with Soros on the One World Government throne.These organizations, their names and purpose can be found on this writer’s website:www.revaustinmiles.com.

{investigativeproject.org} ~ A federal court in Washington, D.C. has held Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad's regime liable for the deaths of three Americans killed by a terrorist organization led by now-deceased Jordanian terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi... Zarqawi's organization, a precursor to ISIS, was known as "al-Qaida in Iraq." During the time the Americans were killed, Assad's regime supported the group "by, among other things, providing them safe haven, weaponry, financial support, and even allowing them to open headquarters within Syria," the court ruled last month. This happened between 2002-06, preceding the Syrian civil war which saw ISIS take over huge sections of Syria and Iraq and become a global terrorist threat... https://www.investigativeproject.org/6069/syrian-regime-held-liable-for-americans-murders

New evidence Shroud dates to 1st century

{wnd.com} ~ An expert on ancient Roman coins say he has identified those that cover the eyes of the Man of the Shroud, providing more evidence that the ancient burial cloth could have been used to cover the body of Jesus.

Agostino Sferrazza, a numismatist, concludes in an interview with the French-language RCF Liège, the coins were minted in in the days of Pontius Pilate in the year A.D. 29.

Images of the coins were first observed in the eye sockets of the Man of the Shroud in 1976, when 3-D projection techniques were used to evaluate it. Researchers noted the presence of small bulges on the ocular orbit bones which wouldn’t match any possible morphological particularities. The hypothesis states these might have been leptons: small coins of low value that were common in Israel during the Roman occupation.

mv0nnUF4cJDes9_uy5hBon69leHFmC59XR4HYn-xaELTMHXY1aiwM9N2v1NBnIRJUj1wxFV50ZzNGsUxhnuAJ1E7zA=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=

Using advanced technologies, researchers have tried to identify drawings and inscriptions on the coins. On the disc covering the right eye, apparently a “lituus” a curved Roman-style augural staff can be observed. On the disc over the left eye, there is what appears to be a sacrificial cup.

Besides the drawings, researchers have managed to read the letters YKAI in the coins. This is thought to be the visible part of the word “TIBERIOY KAICAPOC,” Greek for Tiberius Caesar. This would be a strong indication that these coins are comparable with other currencies from the Roman era, and might indeed be pieces that were being used at the time of Jesus’ Passion.

In his interview with RCF Liège, Agostino Sferrazza supports the theory of the authenticity of the pieces and dates them to the time of Pontius Pilate. This theory is based on the images produced by computer scientist Nello Balossino, an associate professor at the Turin Faculty of Sciences, who succeeded in bringing out an image of the sacrificial cup on the right eye of the Man of the Shroud. According to Agostino Sferazza, there is no doubt: these pieces were indeed coined in 29 A.D.

 Trump to NRA: You've Got a Friend in Me

 Atlanta could use a pick-me-up after a slew of traffic woes in recent weeks. And on Friday, the NRA and Donald Trump delivered. Recall that in 2016 Trump spoke at the National Rifle Association Leadership Forum as a Republican presidential candidate. This year he emerged again, only this time as president of the United States. The last active president to give remarks to the NRA was Ronald Reagan. Here are a few highlights from Friday's speech:
  • "The eight-year assault on your Second Amendment freedoms has come to a crashing end."

  • "[C]ountless members of law enforcement are also members of the NRA, because our police know that responsible gun ownership saves lives, and that the right of self-defense is essential to public safety."

  • "Our police and sheriffs also know that when you ban guns, only the criminals will be armed."

  • "As your president, I will never, ever infringe on the right of the people to keep and bear arms. Never ever. Freedom is not a gift from government. Freedom is a gift from God."

This is a refreshing change from Barack liar-nObama's anti-gun diatribes. Continuous record-setting gun sales in response to liar-nObama's clear distaste of firearms is the reason he earned the moniker "Gun Salesman of the Decade." The recent gun sales decline speaks to this. Fewer guns are being purchased not because Americans are less gun-friendly but because they feel more comfortable with a pro-Second Amendment president. That said, NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre cautions: "We must do all we can to support our president, because as you know, there's an intense war that's being waged by leftist zealots to destroy President Trump and destroy his administration. It's up to us to speak up against the three most dangerous voices in America: academic elites, political elites, and media elites. These are America's greatest domestic threats."

Report: European States Finance NGOs That Support Terrorism Against Israel
by IPT News
{investigativeproject.org} ~ Several European governments fund NGOs that often justify attacks against Israeli civilians and maintain ties to terrorists, according to a new report by the research institute NGO Monitor released on Tuesday... The report, "White Washing 'Resistance' – Human Rights Funding to Organizations Blurring the Line Between Violence and Nonviolence," outlines several groups with links to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a Marxist-Leninist terrorist organization designated by the EU and other Western states.

Flynn's string of gaffes don't add up to treason

by Eli Lake
{jewishworldreview.com} ~
There is something about the fixation on the Michael Flynn story that doesn't add up.

It doesn't look great that in January 2016, the future Trump national security adviser did not disclose payments he received from Russia's propaganda network, RT, on his application to renew his security clearance.

But he did brief the government in 2015 about his trip to Moscow to speak at RT's annual gala that December -- and in April of last year, with that information in hand, the liar-nObama administration renewed Flynn's top-secret security clearance.

All of this is important because Democrats are insinuating that Flynn was one of the links between President Donald Trump and Russia, potentially contributing to collusion in the 2016 election.

Among the drip-drip of leaks about ongoing probes, none has indicated that Flynn played a role in Russia's influence operation against the Democrats last year. But because Flynn did not disclose his payment from Russia's propaganda network and because he is accused of not telling his White House colleagues that he discussed U.S. sanctions before taking office, partisans now freely tar Flynn as a Russian agent.

That insinuation grew on Thursday when the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee released a letter from the Pentagon's inspector general that confirmed that office had begun an investigation into whether Flynn failed to obtain approval to be paid $33,750 for a speaking engagement at the Russian network's annual gala in December 2015. This is also a subject of that committee's own probe. It's likely this issue will come up in the House and Senate intelligence committee investigations into Russia's influence of the 2016 election as well.

On this score, Flynn screwed up. Another letter released by the oversight committee Thursday says the Defense Intelligence Agency, which Flynn directed from 2012 to 2014, has no record of him disclosing this payment in the context of the security clearance process.

All of this sounds pretty bad. And yet, that letter also says the agency was well aware of Flynn's trip to Moscow. Flynn not only briefed his former colleagues in September 2015 about his upcoming trip, he also briefed them after he returned.

If Flynn was trying to hide his trip to Moscow, why did he tell the Defense Intelligence Agency about it before and after his trip? Also while Flynn was in Moscow, officials at the agency's headquarters exchanged emails with their liaison at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow about Flynn's participation in the RT gala, according to the letter.

This was known to the agency in April 2016, when the agency approved Flynn's "top secret/sensitive compartmented information" clearance -- as is standard for a former top official who might need to be consulted on sensitive topics. That approval is significant.

The process for renewing a security clearance at that level is intense. It includes interviews with associates and friends and an extensive background check. Flynn took a polygraph test as part of his reapplication for the security clearance.

The liar-nObama administration knew about his Moscow trip. His clearance was renewed. That leaves two explanations. One would be that the officials responsible for these background investigations are incompetent and didn't learn he was paid to speak at the RT event. That would be bizarre; Flynn himself had mentioned in later media interviews that he was paid by his speaker's bureau for the RT event, even though he did not acknowledge that his speaker's bureau was paid by RT.

The other explanation for the renewed clearance would be that at the time, the Defense Intelligence Agency's investigators did not assess Flynn's trip to Moscow to be grounds to suspend or revoke his access to government secrets.

It's strange that Flynn would not consistently disclose his payment by RT, and that he did not ask permission in the first place to be paid. That showed poor judgment on his part. Agreeing to speak at a Russian propaganda network's annual gala is also evidence of poor judgment. But bad judgment is not evidence of collusion. Bad judgment is also not the same as treason. Just ask the investigators who approved Flynn's security clearance a year ago.

San Diego public school district will create ‘safe spaces’ for Muslims while forcing non-Muslim students to learn about Islam

 In the San Diego Unified School District, public schools now will have to offer ‘safe spaces’ for Muslim snowflakes and indoctrinate all students with whitewashed (violence and hatred-free) lessons on Islam, provided by designated terrorist group CAIR.

( Muslims do not assimilate, they infiltrate!! So when are the rest of THE American People going to put an end Islam in our SCHOOL )

Oh, lookie! CAIR has even gotten some liberal useful idiots to stand with “diversity” signs behind Muslims on the ground praying…oblivious to the fact that women and non-muslims are always relegated to the back when muslims are lifting their asses to allah

San Diego Union Tribune  CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations) and the San Diego Unified School District collaborated on a “holistic” approach to anti-Muslim bullying that will likely be implemented this fall.

Administrators and teachers will have calendars showing Islamic holidays, students will learn more about the religion in social studies classes and safe spaces will be created on campuses for Muslim students as part of a multi-tiered approach to combat so-called “Islamophobia.”

Trustees on Tuesday voted 4-0, with board member Michael McQuary absent, to approve a plan to confront Islamophobia and bullying against Muslim students.

One of the first steps in the plan will be to distribute letters to staff members and parents addressing Islamophobia and identifying resources to learn about the religion and fight discrimination.  

District calendars will be reviewed to ensure Islam holidays are recognized, which Anjan said is important so schools will schedule campus events that also can be attended by Muslim families.

Schools also will review and vet materials related to Muslim culture and history in media centers and provide resources and material for teachers. Anjan said social studies lessons may include more information on prominent Muslims and their impact on history and other steps to promote a more ‘positive’ image of Islam.

You mean images like this?

Last July, the board directed the district staff to work with CAIR in developing a plan to address the issue.

Looking back to November 2015, Superintendent Cindy Marten said Tuesday that the issue of Islamophobia is even more important today. The district doesn’t have data on how many students are Muslim, but Anjan’s report to the board Tuesday included a breakdown of incidents of bullying for various reasons from July 1 to Dec. 31, 2016.

Counselors and teachers in schools and colleges throughout the county have said Muslim students are feeling anxious these days, but Anjan said he’s also seen more students wanting to work to create more peaceful campuses.

Trustee John Lee Evans said the issue of Islamophobia and bullying against Muslim is greater today than when the board first called for a plan to address the issue. “Now we have on a national stage where people openly discuss hatred and discrimination against various groups,” he said. We really need to redouble our efforts at a time like this.”

Tuesday’s meeting was attended by about 150 members of San Diego’s Muslim community, including Hanif Mohebia, executive director of the San Diego office of CAIR, who called the Tuesday night vote an important first step.

“If we do this right, San Diego Unified School District would be the leading school district in the nation to come up with a robust and beautiful anti-bully and anti-Islamophobic program,” he said. “I’m really happy we’re going toward the right direction. I am excited, but also careful and cautious because the work ahead is something we will all be responsible for.”

SAN DIEGO: Finally, after 8 years of pleading with parents to stop their schools from indoctrinating children with Islamic propaganda, parents are beginning to fight back

( Muslims do not assimilate, they infiltrate!! So when are the rest of THE American People going to put an end  Islam in our SCHOOL )

OUTRAGED San Diego parents are speaking out against Islam and sharia indoctrination in public schools. It is clearly evident they have done their homework about the dangers of Islam and designated terrorist group CAIR, who is behind this, funded by Saudi Arabia and Qatar (the chief funder of Common Core). Sounds like some parents are BNI readers. Patriot Fire (h/t Roger O) IGNORE Kevin Beisser, the first speaker and chief advocate of implementing sharia in the schools. He seems to think anti-Muslim bullying is biggest problem in the country. Saudi Arabia funds much of the advocacy of Islam in the US. The parents are awesome, but they only give them one minute each to speak and cut them off when they go over. I have a sick feeling in my gut that the school board will ignore their pleas. This is not over. This is what CAIR gives out to schools: An Educator’s Guide, on how to implement Islamic indoctrination in Ameircan public schools. ORIGINAL STORY: San Diego public school district will create ‘safe spaces’ for Muslims while forcing non-Muslim students to learn about Islam Listen to a a spokesjihadist from Muslim Brotherhood front group CAIR tout their achievements in Islamifying American schools.

IT FIGURES! Minnesotastan Republican Party forces official to resign after he smeared Hamas-supporting, Jew-hating Muslim congressman, Keith Ellison, on Facebook

Muslims do not assimilate, they infiltrate

Well, when you’re from a state like Minnesota with such a large sharia-supporting Muslim population, many of whom have left to fight along side the Islamic State (ISIS), you’ll often find yourself on your knees kissing the feet of designated terrorist group CAIR.

Star Tribune  Minnesota’s 7th Congressional District Republican Party official published a Facebook post calling Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) the state’s “Head Muslim Goat Humper” and a “raving, Louis Farrakhan supporting, anti-Semite, anti-white racist and fascist American.”

T FIGURES! Minnesotastan Republican Party forces official to resig...

Muslims do not assimilate, they infiltrate

Well, when you’re from a state like Minnesota with such a large sharia-supporting Muslim population, many of whom have left to fight along side the Islamic State (ISIS), you’ll often find yourself on your knees kissing the feet of designated terrorist group CAIR.

Star Tribune  Minnesota’s 7th Congressional District Republican Party official published a Facebook post calling Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) the state’s “Head Muslim Goat Humper” and a “raving, Louis Farrakhan supporting, anti-Semite, anti-white racist and fascist American.”

London: Muslim heart surgeon guilty of molesting women in hospitals, rape charge pending

A world-renowned heart surgeon has been found guilty of molesting women after groping and assaulting them at London hospitals.

Mohamed Amrani, 53, who worked at the Harefield Hospital in west London, is on trial at the Old Bailey over accusations from five women between 2001 and 2014.

The consultant, of Harrow, west London, denied all the claims against him.

A jury deliberated for 20 hours to find him guilty of twice indecently assaulting a woman by groping her breasts through her clothes between 2003 and 2004 and sexually assaulting another woman in 2014.

The court had heard how one victim had complained to the hospital about being indecently assaulted and was allegedly told “just ignore him, he does it to everyone”.

After deliberating for 23 hours, jurors were discharged, having failed to reach a verdict on a charge of rape.

Judge Anne Molyneux allowed the prosecution seven days to consider whether they would seek a retrial and adjourned the case until May 5.

University of Iowa: Muslim student charged with making terror threat (again)

(Muslims do not assimilate, they infiltrate )

Source: University of Iowa student charged with threat of terrorism  h/t Jihad Watch

A University of Iowa student has been charged with threat of terrorism after police say he threatened to bring a gun to graduation.

Soliman Obaid B. Altamimi, 25, went to the university’s International Programs Office at the University Capitol Center around 11:30 a.m. on Friday and asked to make a speech at the graduation ceremony, according to UI police complaints. When staff told Altamimi he couldn’t give a speech, he replied that he “will bring a gun to the final ceremony.”

Altamimi admitted to officers that he made the statement, the complaints state.

Police say Altamimi made a similar statement on Nov. 11, 2016, when he said he would bring a gun to the International Programs Office and shoot international students.

Online court records do not show any charges resulting from that incident.

Regarding the November incident, UI officials said in an email that UI police received a report at the time from another student who shared concerns about Altamimi’s statements.

“Those concerns were taken seriously and UIPD followed up with Mr. Altamimi at that time,” university spokesperson Tricia Brown said in the email.

Threat of terrorism is a class D felony punishable by up to five years in prison. Police complaints also show Altamimi has been charged with third-degree harassment, a simple misdemeanor punishable by up to 30 days in jail.

Altamimi is currently being held in the Johnson County Jail on a $12,000 bond.

Left-fascist alumni of Gettysburg College threaten to cut donations if Robert Spencer speaks

(Muslims do not assimilate, they infiltrate )

I’m scheduled to speak at Gettysburg College tonight, and it might not surprise you to learn that the Left-fascists are in an uproar. This letter from college alumni manifests the fundamental insecurity and intellectual fascism of these alums — not a very good testimonial for the college. Insecurity because if they really thought what I was saying was false and absurd on its face, they would encourage people to come, engage me in discussion, and prove me wrong. Instead, they try to shut me down, which is a tacit acknowledgment that they can’t refute what I say, and so want to make sure it is not heard. This letter is a disquieting indication of how far advanced the rot is at our colleges and universities today: these alumni openly call for the restriction of the freedom of speech in the context of an institution that is supposed to be dedicated to free inquiry and the acceptance or rejection of ideas on their merits after study.

More below.

“Open letter from 375 alums urges President Riggs to cancel Robert Spencer’s speech,” The Gettysburgian, May 1, 2017:

Editor’s Note: The following letter collected signatures online from Thursday evening until Sunday morning and was then sent to the administration with 375 signatures. A response from College president Janet Morgan Riggs was released on Monday and is available to view here.

Good afternoon, Dean Ramsey and President Riggs:

We hope this message finds you well. Unfortunately, today we have been brought together under less than joyous circumstances. After learning that Robert Spencer has been approved to speak on campus we, as members of the past and present Gettysburg College community, feel it is a necessity to express our concern. It was our time at Gettysburg that shaped us into the compassionate, thoughtful, principled individuals we are becoming, and it is our identity as Gettysburgians that compels us to issue this open letter.

Methinks they protest too much. Those who have to tell the world that they’re compassionate, thoughtful and principled generally aren’t, and are aware of the fact.

From a sociological perspective, we understand the complexities and power dynamics at play in the difficult decision you and your office were forced to make. However, as equity-seeking, socially and politically conscious citizens and alumni of Gettysburg College, we are outraged by your willingness to allow a platform for the ideas zealously promoted by Mr. Spencer.

The ideas promoted by Spencer and his organization, Jihad Watch, have and will continue to incite physical, mental, and emotional violence against Muslims as long as they are allowed legitimate platforms.

This is libel and defamation. It is also entirely without substance. And in a world that has seen 30,000 lethal jihad attacks committed in the name of Islam and in accord with its teachings since 9/11, it’s grotesque and obscene.

According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, Spencer’s “writing was cited dozens of times in a manifesto written by the Norwegian terrorist Anders Breivik. Spencer was banned from the United Kingdom as an extremist in July 2013.” These are just a couple of examples of the effects of his ideology. Allowing him to visit and speak will be an act of violence against Muslim students at Gettysburg College and will further legitimate his false and hateful message.

Breivik — always Breivik. If I really incited violence in my writings, one would think that there would be more than just one lone madman to prove it. Breivik actually quoted a great many people, including Barack Obama; he also criticized me for not calling for violence. He also did not hold to my views, but counseled collaboration with Hamas and al-Qaeda. Even if he did, if every point of view were discredited by violence done in its name, Islam and Marxism would be first in line. I was banned from Britain, according to the Home Office’s letter to me, for saying that Islam has doctrines of violence, which is like banning me for saying water is wet. Meanwhile, Britain has admitted many jihadis, illustrating that its banning policy is not based on sound principles.

But these alumni don’t need any actual acts of violence committed by people provoked by what I have written. Allowing me even to visit and speak is “an act of violence against Muslim students at Gettysburg College and will further legitimize [my] false and hateful message.” False? Prove it, snowflakes. Speaking is an act of violence now? Are you so intellectually bereft, and authoritarian at your core, that you cannot bear to hear unpopular ideas, and have to shut down and defame those who enunciate them? It just indicates you can’t refute those ideas on a rational level.

Spencer is the author of many books, including “The Truth About Muhammad: Founder of the World’s Most Intolerant Religion” (2006) and “Stealth Jihad: How Radical Islam is Subverting America Without Guns or Bombs” (2008). These titles alone make it clear that his arguments are predicated on the deliberate conflation of Islam with terrorism. Mr. Spencer has made a name for himself by exploiting fears that are rooted in racism, colonialism, and Western-centrism. Inviting him to join in dialogue on campus is not presenting a difference of opinion but is instead allowing and fostering a level of hate comparable to anti-semitism.

Racism? Islam is not a race. Colonialism and Western-centrism? Tell it to the Thais and Indians threatened by the jihad, and the Acehnese women suffering under Sharia oppression.

Despite regard for and understanding of the right to free speech, bringing Robert Spencer to campus and hosting a platform for his opinions damages the atmosphere of diversity that Gettysburg College has publicly sought to foster over the past few years. There is a way to have healthy and respectful exchange of opinions and Robert Spencer is not a part of that equation. Spencer’s dialogue targets an entire minority population represented not just in this country but also on Gettysburg’s campus and by inviting him to speak, those people, those students and faculty members, have been betrayed.

“There is a way to have healthy and respectful exchange of opinions and Robert Spencer is not a part of that equation.” In other words, “a healthy and respectful exchange of opinions can only include those with whom we agree.”

In the name of free speech, Gettysburg College has chosen to facilitate an atmosphere laden with hate and fear. An opinion article for The New York Times written by Ulrich Baer, a faculty member at New York University, concisely summarizes this concern- “freedom of expression is not an unchanging absolute.” As the rising generations fight for cultural equality in this country, we are making space for the voices of the oppressed and we will not be making allowances to further their oppression.

Howling absurdity. The “voices of the [supposedly] oppressed” have an absolute monopoly in places such as Gettysburg College. I represent a small dissenting voice, an opinion that is usually never allowed a fair hearing at colleges or universities.

It is the time we spent learning and growing at Gettysburg College that necessitates this letter. As graduates of Gettysburg, we are grateful to have been instilled with strong critical analysis skills and an appreciation for intellectual diversity. As we have entered the workforce, furthered our education, traveled the globe, and continued the growth that began at our beloved alma mater, we carry the citizenship pillars of Gettysburg College with us: to be curious, own and cherish our experiences, engage difference, and make an impact.

Many of us have come forward individually to express our disapproval of Spencer’s visit and those emails have all been met with the same stock response. Though we can all understand the justifications for such a response, it is undeniably dismissive.

We are sociologists, global communicators, psychologists, educators, scientists, counselors, linguists, faith leaders, doctors, and artists. What unites us all is our history with Gettysburg College and the pressing need to express our objection to Robert Spencer’s invitation to speak on campus. We demand that Gettysburg stands up for those who do not have powerful voices and against Mr. Spencer and all that he stands for by cancelling the event. Until our concerns generate results, many of us have committed to withdrawing any financial support for the college.

If the College had any intellectual integrity, it would refuse any donations from you Left-fascists enemies of free discourse.

Left-fascist Gettysburg College President Janet Riggs calls for boycott of Robert Spencer

lecture(Muslims do not assimilate, they infiltrate )

At Todd Green’s lecture Sunday, Gettysburg College President Janet Morgan Riggs said: “My fantasy is that we will have four or five people sitting in a room with Robert Spencer, and the other 2,500 members with Jerome at his rally. I think that’s what we can do to counter the fear that a speaker like this can bring to this community.”

Riggs should be ashamed. If the Muslims at the university really think I am not telling the truth, they should come and engage me in discussion during the Q and A, and prove me wrong. They can’t, so they’re boycotting, and instead of exhorting students to engage unwelcome and unpopular ideas and deal with them on a rational basis, the president of the university is encouraging them.

In this letter responding to alumni threats over my appearance, Riggs uncritically accepts and retails the defamatory and libelous falsehoods that I am “bigoted” and “hateful,” and somehow endanger Muslim students.

I hereby challenge President Riggs: prove your statements with quotations from my own writings, not from smear pieces from the Southern Poverty Law Center or other far-Left groups that have no intention of treating their targets fairly. Substantiate your characterizations of my work from my work, or retract and apologize. Also, I invite you to come to the lecture tonight, if you don’t end up canceling it, and if I am not shouted down by the Left-fascist thugs you are enabling and encouraging, then I challenge you to find any “hatred” or “bigotry” in anything I say.

I do hope you will take up my challenge, but obviously you will not do so. For being a president of a college who actively discourages the consideration of views that dissent from the establishment line, and actively discouraging critical thinking and free inquiry, you should be made to resign in disgrace. Instead, you will no doubt be hailed as a heroine by your Left-fascist peers and colleagues.

“President Janet Morgan Riggs responds to open letter from alums on Robert Spencer,” by Janet Morgan Riggs, Gettysburg College President The Gettysburgian, May 1, 2017:

Editor’s Note: The following letter is a response from College president Janet Morgan Riggs to the open letter sent by 375 alums urging President Riggs to not allow Robert Spencer to speak on Wednesday.

I want to begin by thanking those who signed the petition requesting that we rescind our invitation to Robert Spencer for caring enough about Gettysburg College to speak out. To say this is a complex situation would be an understatement.

Many Gettysburgians have expressed perspectives about whether or not Robert Spencer should be permitted to speak on our campus. Some think we should have denied YAF’s request to invite him and that we should have over‐ruled Student Senate’s thoughtful deliberations which led them to make the decision to approve this event. I have also heard from many who believe that allowing Robert Spencer to speak is the right thing to do, despite the fact that they find his views to be offensive and/or abhorrent.

I don’t know if our alumni who signed the petition have seen the letter I sent to campus about this, but you can find it here:

www.gettysburg.edu/about/offices/president/inclusion/pdfs/2017/MessagefromthePresident_email+4‐25‐17.pdf

This letter was intended to provide some information to members of the campus community about the decision‐making process, the challenge of balancing our values, and the additional speaker that was invited.

We are concerned for the Muslim members of our community and have met with Muslim students to talk about what we might do to support them. We have also reached out to Muslim members of our faculty and staff, and some faculty members have reached out to our Muslim students to offer their personal support. Discussions are being held in classes, and students are planning a solidarity rally to be held at the same time that Spencer will be speaking—not as a protest of the speech, but as a way of showing their support for the Muslim community.

I appreciate the passion that our alumni have expressed on both sides of this controversy. It’s quite clear that our alumni are not united in their viewpoints. In one of the letters I received supporting the decision to allow Robert Spencer to speak, one of our graduates quoted American Civil Liberties Union National Legal Director David Cole: “For the future of our democracy, we must protect bigoted speech from government censorship. On college campuses, that means that the best way to combat hateful speech is through counter‐speech, vigorous and creative protest, and debate, not threats of violence or censorship.”

This is an extraordinarily complicated and challenging situation, one that is being played out on college campuses across the nation. I can assure you that we are giving this a tremendous amount of thought and attention, and I am pleased that our alumni care enough about Gettysburg College to voice their perspectives.

Sincerely,
Janet Morgan Riggs

Attempt to set Pro-Israeli activist ABLAZE in Germany

(Muslims do not assimilate, they infiltrate )

Chancellor Merkel imported millions of Jew-hating Muslims who mean to finish Hitler’s work. And with the support of their running dogs on the left, they are well on their way.

Germany’s dangerous stand against US, Israel must be stopped

Police search for Berlin attacker who attempted to set ablaze a pro-Israel activist

Jerusalem Post, May 2, 2017:

Berlin police forces are currently searching after a man who attempted to set an Israel flag ablaze on Monday during a Memorial Day event commemorating Israel’s fallen soldiers and victims of terrorism. The woman who was holding the flag and very nearly escaped the attack is a German-Israeli pro-Israel activist.

The latter, who wishes not reveal her identity because she wants to continue freely with her pro-Israel activism, contacted the Jerusalem Post on Tuesday and said that she filed a criminal complaint. She asserted that the assailant sought to cause her “dangerous bodily harm.”

The alleged assault took place at a German-Israeli friendship youth event on Paris Square in the heart of Berlin. According to the official complaint, the woman carried an Israeli flag on her shoulder and the perpetrator attempted to use a lighter to set the flag on fire. A 22-year-old witness stopped the attack and the assailant fled.

The alleged attack comes on the heels of last week’s independent German report commissioned by the Federal government that shows that 40% of Germans hold modern antisemitic views (the loathing of the Jewish state).

There has been a series of attacks on Israelis over the years in Berlin, including the murder of Dalia Elyakim, who was killed by an Islamic State terrorist attack at a Christmas market in December.

In 2015, German Muslims attacked Shahak Shapira, an Israeli living in Berlin, because he told the men to stop chanting anti-Jewish songs.

Six Palestinians attacked Israelis in Berlin in 2014.

Across Germany in 2014 during Israel’s Protective Edge Operation which aimed to stop Hamas rocket fire, a wave of anti-Israel antisemitism unfolded.
In the cities of Dortmund and Frankfurt chants proclaiming “Hamas Hamas Juden ins gas!” (“Hamas Hamas Jews to the gas!”) were heard and in Essen demonstrators chanted “Scheiss Juden!” (“Jewish sh…t”).

Anti-Israeli activists, most of whom are German Muslims and hard-leftists , have sought to destroy Israeli flags at demonstrations over the years.

Police forces in German cities have ignored or enabled protestors to act for the removal and/or the outlawing of Israeli flags. In 2015, German security guards remove an Israeli flag at a Berlin soccer match to preempt Palestinian anger. In 2009, during an anti-Israeli demonstration organized by the Turkish Islamic group, Millî Görüş, and attended by 10,000 protesters, two police officers stormed the apartment of a pro-Israel activist and seized Israeli flags hanging on the balcony and inside a window. The Duisburg police chief justified the removal of the flags as an act intended to “prevent an escalation.” Prior to the storming of the apartment, Islamists pelted the flags with objects.

Pro-Israeli activists, including one with a flag, were taken into police custody in the city of Düsseldorf during Operation Cast Lead against Hamas. The raw anger of members of the “Mainz initiative for peace in Gaza” compelled five young men holding an Israeli flag to flee into a department store in the city of Mainz.

May Day Protesters in Philadelphia Chant: Kill Trump, Pence By Hannah Mayer, Truth Revolt, May 2, 2017 (thanks to Todd): We all know that May Day — a.k.a. “International Workers’ Day” — is just another excuse for progressive to behave abhorrently and this past May 1 was no exception.

Arrests were made at various protests, including at least 25 in Portland. In the name of “immigrants’ rights” masked warriors burned, rioted, threw smoke bombs and rocks, and hurled expletives. Never shying away from revealing their true, twisted nature, protesters in Philadelphia even chanted calls to “kill” President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence.

The White House budget spin

NOTEWhen writing about God and Jesus, The Daily Jot means YHVH as God and Yeshua Ha Mashiach as Jesus--the actual original names and the true nature and character of them.
  
Wednesday, May 3, 2017
Congress is passing yet another Continuing Resolution to kick the budget can down the road to September. It's a stop-gap measure that gives the socialists an early Christmas. It continues to fund Planned Parenthood, expands spending to a trillion dollars and gives the Democrats a very strategic position in getting all their tax and spend programs over the next several years. It's a risky political strategy on the part of Republicans and it is a win-win strategy by the socialist Democratic Party. In the worse kind of way, it is bad optics for a President who made promises to drain the swamp and put Americans first--That's the take from the media, but the White House has a different spin.
 
Vice President Mike Pence is making the rounds to explain why the Trump Administration is supporting the Continuing Resolution until September. A big part of it is defense spending-a $21 billion increase to fund improvements to an aging military that was left to decay under the previous administration. Pence told Rush Limbaugh, " I mean, in a very real sense this was a game-changer because we're just back to putting the safety, security, and the national defense of the American people first, and...I think this sends a decisive message to the world that under President Trump's leadership we're gonna make the strongest military in history even stronger."
 
Pence said the number one priority for this Continuing Resolution was to strengthen America's defense capabilities. He said, "to get Democrats in Washington, D.C., to agree to a $21 billion increase in a short-term budget bill - and, you know, the president's calling for the largest increase in military spending since the Reagan administration in the upcoming budget, I think is no small - it's no small accomplishment." Pence further said that the bill includes the biggest increase in border security in ten years and reminded Limbaugh that illegal immigration was down 60% since Donald Trump took office. Pence also said that the President signed a bill into law that allows states to block Planned Parenthood funding and that the socialist healthcare replacement bill defunds Planned Parenthood.
 
Pence also set expectations on repealing socialist healthcare. He said that it will take two phases: first, repealing the taxes and penalties of socialist healthcare, and second, to allow people to buy healthcare across state lines. Pence said the two steps will "sweep the final vestiges of it away." Pence reveals a strategy to achieve success while making the other side think they are winning. It's the art of the deal. We must discern whether these explanations are spin or truth. Certainly, Trump knows how to deal. But he is dealing with extraordinarily cunning swamp dwellers. Let us pray that the President be an Ephesians 4:!4 person: That is not "tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lay in wait to deceive." Pray that he has the wisdom of Solomon. 
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!

Kansas City Catholics Banish Girl Scouts and Their Cookies

There’s a new commandment for Catholics: Thou Shall Not Eat Tagalongs.

The Archdiocese of Kansas City recently announced they are severing ties with the Girl Scouts. And that means no more Girl Scout cookies, too. Say goodbye to Thin Mints and Do-Si-Do’s.

The Archdiocese says Girl Scouts is no longer a compatible partner when it comes to issues like virtue and values.

The Washington Post reports that Catholics fear the Girl Scouts’ programs and materials are “reflective of many of the troubling trends in our secular culture,” and that the organization is “no longer a compatible partner in helping us form young women with the virtues and values of the Gospel.”

The Archdiocese said some of the material used in the past has been offensive, disturbing and age-inappropriate. (Read more from “Kansas City Catholics Banish Girl Scouts and Their Cookies” HERE) http://joemiller.us/2017/05/kansas-city-catholics-banish-girl-scouts-cookies/

Trump Expected to Unveil Massive New Protections for Religious Freedom Thursday

A leaked copy of a draft executive order titled “Establishing a Government-Wide Initiative to Respect Religious Freedom,” obtained by The Investigative Fund and The Nation, reveals sweeping plans by the Trump administration . . .

The four-page draft order, a copy of which is currently circulating among federal staff and advocacy organizations, construes religious organizations so broadly that it covers “any organization, including closely held for-profit corporations,” and protects “religious freedom” in every walk of life: “when providing social services, education, or healthcare; earning a living, seeking a job, or employing others; receiving government grants or contracts; or otherwise participating in the marketplace, the public square, or interfacing with Federal, State or local governments.”

The draft order seeks to create wholesale exemptions for people and organizations who claim religious or moral objections to same-sex marriage, premarital sex, abortion, and trans identity, and it seeks to curtail women’s access to contraception and abortion through the Affordable Care Act. The White House did not respond to requests for comment, but when asked Monday about whether a religious freedom executive order was in the works, White House spokesman Sean Spicer told reporters, “I’m not getting ahead of the executive orders that we may or may not issue. There is a lot of executive orders, a lot of things that the president has talked about and will continue to fulfill, but we have nothing on that front now.”

Language in the draft document specifically protects the tax-exempt status of any organization that “believes, speaks, or acts (or declines to act) in accordance with the belief that marriage is or should be recognized as the union of one man and one woman, sexual relations are properly reserved for such a marriage, male and female and their equivalents refer to an individual’s immutable biological sex as objectively determined by anatomy, physiology, or genetics at or before birth, and that human life begins at conception and merits protection at all stages of life.”

[Legal experts described the] breadth of the draft order . . . as “sweeping” and “staggering” . . .

A  very great evil and immorality has come upon the American People and is doing everything it can do to take over the American People!!! Don't you think it is about time to do something about it?

Principles for a Free Society

 

A Huffington Post Humanist Urges the Church to Stop Using the Bible as a Moral Guide

It’s one thing when a humanist attacks the Bible. That’s expected. It’s another thing when a humanist attacks a Christian denomination for using the Bible as a moral guide. But that’s exactly what humanist author Clay Farris Naff did in the Huffington Post on April 29.

Naff was upset that the highest court of the Methodist Church struck down the consecration of Bishop Karen Oliveto. Her only infraction was being married to another woman. How, he wondered, could the church punish her for love?

He writes, “To anyone free of ancient prejudices, the injustice of condemning Oliveto is plain. How can love be wrong? How can love enfolded in commitment and fidelity be wrong?”


The answers are simple and self-evident. Love is not always right, even when it’s “enfolded in commitment and fidelity.”

Marriage Has Meaning

A father may love his adult daughter in a romantic way, but that doesn’t make the relationship right. Twin brothers in their 30s may love each other in a sexual way, but that doesn’t make their sexual activity right. A man who no longer loves his wife may now love his female co-worker, but that doesn’t make his adultery right.

It’s possible, of course, that Naff has no problem with consensual adult incest or with adultery. And maybe he has no issue with polygamy or polyamory. But as a thinking man (which he clearly is), he should be able to understand that conservatives have reasons other than “ancient prejudices” for opposing gay marriage. After all, there were ancient cultures that celebrated homosexuality. Yet they still recognized marriage as male-female only.

That’s because marriage has had a specific function and purpose through the millennia. It’s not just “ancient prejudices” that cause many of us to reject its redefinition. Or is it only prejudice that believes God designed men for women and women for men? Or is it only bigotry that believes it’s best for a child to have a mom and dad?

Naff asks, “What possible harm can her marriage cause? Not even the claim of setting a ‘bad’ example holds water. People do not choose their spouses on the example set by clergy. If they did, there’d be no Catholic children, and poor, sultry Elizabeth Taylor could never have married even once.”

Actually, many people do follow the examples set by their leaders (including clergy). As for Naff’s argument regarding Catholicism, wouldn’t he argue that the sins of some pedophile priests have been especially heinous, because they are looked to as religious leaders?

Of course, I’m not comparing Oliveto’s “marriage” to her partner to a priest abusing boys. I’m simply saying that clergy have a special responsibility to set good examples. Their bad examples have a wider, ripple effect.

“Sacred Scripture” — Or Not?

Naff then focuses on the Bible itself. He uses the same hackneyed, pro-gay arguments that have been refuted time and again. (For example, he claims that Paul’s categorical prohibition against homosexual practice in Romans 1 is merely “a tirade about some unnamed people who turned their backs on God and indulged in, er, Roman-style orgies”).

He also seems oblivious to the idea that when Methodist leaders speak about “Christian teaching” on homosexuality, they don’t refer exclusively to the Bible. They’re speaking in general about the unanimous teaching of virtually all branches of Christianity for nearly 2,000 years. And they’re speaking in particular about the clear teachings of the Methodist Church throughout its history.

But this is not important for Naff. He he feels there’s a much deeper problem with the Methodist Church: hypocrisy. Why, he wonders, does the Church not ban divorce like it bans homosexual practice?

Because according to Scripture, there are some legitimate causes for divorce. These are recognized by the Methodist Church. It is remarriage that’s in question. But that’s a question he fails to ask. (He could have made a better argument had he addressed that question.)

Either way, Naff isn’t calling for a church ban on divorce. Instead, he explains:

I am trying to help you see that the Bible may be many things — historical treasure, poetical comfort, and sacred scripture — but as a moral guide, it is hopeless. Some claim to follow its commands literally, but they deceive themselves. No one can do so, for the Bible is a hodgepodge of contradictions and morally obscure or outrageous injunctions.

So, it’s fine if we take the Bible to be “sacred scripture.” But we must realize it’s “a hodgepodge of contradictions and morally obscure or outrageous injunctions.” Not to mention “hopeless” as “a moral guide.”

Thanks but no thanks.

That kind of “sacred scripture” is neither sacred nor scripture. Why anyone would take comfort in its words and find guidance for life if the Bible is what Naff describes it to be?

Bad Logic

After launching a few more (weak) salvos against the Scriptures, Naff writes:

Look at the Bible with fresh eyes, and you’ll find the record of ancient peoples who, lacking any police force, detectives, or proper jails, did their best to construct rules for getting along with each other and used the fear of God to enforce them. Look even closer and you’ll find that those in power often bent the rules in their favor. I suppose God might have wanted the people to heap silver, gold, and fatted calves on their priests, exempt them from any real work, and give them a retirement plan (Numbers 7 – 8), but I find it more likely that the priests themselves heard the Word of God that way.

Put another way, this is not the Word of God, so don’t treat it as the Word of God. Instead, Naff states:

I’ve shown that the United Methodist Church is interpreting the Bible to privilege the heterosexual majority while sanctimoniously applying ancient “laws” in a questionable way to Bishop Oliveto. But more important, I hope I’ve shown that Methodists, and all other religionists, would do well abandon the effort to apply scriptural codes to contemporary life. Draw inspiration, by all means, but recognize that the hard work of thinking through right and wrong remains a moral duty for us all.

In truth, Naff did not prove his points at all, let alone demonstrate them in such fashion that Methodist leaders should feel beholden to follow his counsel.

But it is not merely Naff’s attack on the Bible that falls short. It’s his logic that falls short as well. If he is right in his description of the Bible, there’s no reason for the Methodist Church (or any church) to exist. There’s not even a reason for a single synagogue to be found on the planet if what we call sacred Scripture is merely a compendium of human ideas, many of them flawed, and none of them perfectly inspired.

In short, if Jesus is not the Son of God who died for our sins and rose from the dead, Christians are believing lies. End of subject. And if the Torah was not given by God through Moses, Jews are believing lies. That’s all that needs to be said.

If the Bible is not a moral guide, it cannot be a spiritual guide, since it purports to tell us who God is and what He requires from us, His creation.

Human Reasoning vs. God’s Word

I do understand Naff’s concerns about religious fundamentalism, which he has articulated elsewhere. But he fails to understand that

1. The Bible’s moral witness is quite coherent when studied holistically and in-depth

2. Scholars have answers for the questions he has raised, along with many more

3. There are solid reasons, both practical and moral, to stand against homosexual “marriage.”

What is lacking is not the inspiration of Scripture or the wisdom of Scripture or the moral authority of Scripture. What is lacking is the understanding of human beings (including Naff). That’s exactly why we need God’s Word.

Human reasoning alone will always fail us. God’s Word will never fail.

The spiritual dimension of progressives' rage

Exclusive: Linda Harvey sees anti-Truth pagan practice in silencing of Christians

 

author-image Linda Harvey 
Linda Harvey is president of Mission America and hosts a talk show on Salem affiliate WRFD in Columbus, Ohio.

Congratulations to WND for 20 years of leadership in conservative media! America and the global political conversation are blessed by your creativity, perseverance and dedication to reporting the facts. I am so honored and humbled to be a part of your commentary team.

And it’s more than appropriate that this column is dedicated to WND’s anniversary. You have never shied away from hard-hitting news and opinion, even when attacked from all sides.

There’s no question Christians and conservatives are being denied a voice in much of America’s public square these days. But what’s really behind the left’s tyranny on the campuses of Berkeley, Middlebury, Claremont McKenna, University of Wisconsin and others?

There’s a pagan precept involved, even if these rioters don’t know it.

Ann Coulter, Milo Yiannopoulos and David Horowitz are not welcome at Berkeley. Their views apparently cannot be allowed expression. Nor can the realities of abortion be revealed to students at a Pennsylvania high school.

Have you seen the video of the unhinged, vulgar rampage of a self-described homosexual educator against peaceful, pro-life teen demonstrators?

The Downingtown, Pennsylvania, assistant principal loudly sang, “I love a parade!” to drown out the voices of two teens trying to witness about the tragedy of abortion.

Then there’s that teacher in Tampa who cringes at the sight of crosses in her classroom. She, too, is a homosexual, “partnered” with another lesbian teacher.

Or how about protesters at town hall meetings in Louisiana and Michigan who screamed, “Separation of church and state!” over opening prayers?

These street-thug tactics are now commonplace. I’ve experienced similar irrational ploys during peaceful protests and press conferences as rabid homosexuals tried to deny our group a voice. Chanting, bullhorns and blocking presenters are common maneuvers.

These radicals fear believers, they fear responsible conservatives, and they fear the name of Christ. The widespread prohibition of Christian and conservative views at universities is starting to resemble the ancient pagan practice of “taboo.”

There’s another explanation, though, one that exposes an even deeper level of spiritual darkness.

In pagan rituals, to speak an idea is to give it life. Words and incantations carry (so it is believed) immense power. A ritual must be performed with chants and invocations in an exact sequence, or the spell loses its effectiveness.

So, the opposite is also true in the occultist worldview. The words of one’s opponents – full of “negativity” – must not be permitted.

One of witchcraft’s matriarchs explained it this way: “We believe that to give evil a name is to give it power,” said Silver Ravenwolf in her book “Teen Witch.” So not only must opponents be denied a platform, they must not even be named.

The new progressive rage reflects the rise of everyday evil in America. Resistance against the Lord and His brethren has never been so pervasive in our nation. It accelerated during eight years of a president whose policies intentionally defied biblical standards, and Obama’s followers are not easily relinquishing their “change agenda.”

Therefore, they often behave as people whose hearts and souls have been given over to a dark lord, even when they don’t consciously understand this. The hysteria we are seeing has its roots in demonic, spiritual evil.

Biblical principles affirming goodness and righteousness show that power resides in truth. So those who hate Christ must suppress His teachings, or heavily disguise, rephrase or repackage them.

Certainly, Christians understand that demons shudder at the name of Christ and that true conversion includes verbalizing faith: “… if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved (Romans 10:9).”

Definitions and names become critical in Scripture. Jesus has the “name above all names (Philippians 2:9).” Satan understands this, for he also knows the Bible.

Throughout Scripture, the “name of the Lord” is to be revered. Peter said that “…everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved (Acts 2:21).”

We are to pray “in the name of Jesus.” The command is phrased this way perhaps to plant a truth-filled idea in one’s spirit and in the world: that Jesus has an identity, He is the way, the truth and the life, and belief in Him is the essence of salvation. The true Jesus revealed in the holy texts is the Savior of humanity, and as such, just speaking His name is immensely powerful.

Adherents to false faiths and atheists hate the name of Christ, they cringe at truth, and do whatever possible to slither around the reality of His omnipotence.

So they irrationally go to exceptional lengths to limit, punish, defame, silence or even harm Christ’s followers. Those who aren’t confessed Christians but challenge the dark lies of progressive ideology are also worthy targets of Satan’s minions.

When truth is malleable and expendable, fascism becomes an easily assimilated, everyday practice of “tolerant” liberals. It’s perfectly acceptable in pagan/wiccan circles to simply make stuff up out of thin air. How often do we see this as a current progressive tactic? There are not enough pages to publish all the recent examples.

It’s also the history of liberal theology within Christianity, including the push starting several decades ago for so-called “inclusive language,” which essentially revised ancient, divinely inspired Scripture. In 1993, many Christians were stunned to learn about a landmark conference in Minneapolis called “Re-Imagining God.” And if weird, “invent-your-own” spirituality was not out of the closet before that, this was the public unveiling of deep, deep apostasy led by feminists inside certain Christian churches and organizations.

We need to remember the profound words of the first chapter of John: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. … And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.”

Christ is the Word made flesh, “full of grace and truth.” No matter what attacks are launched at the truth, it will never change.

And neither will He.

Salon’s Fake News: Trump Supposedly Said the Constitution Is ‘Really a Bad Thing for the Country’

The left-wing media site Salon posted an article with the headline blaring: “Donald Trump doesn’t like the ‘archaic’ Constitution: ‘It’s really a bad thing for the country.’” Other liberal sites said the same thing. It was the classic gotcha article: The man who says he’s a conservative wants to trash the Constitution! Haha, say the liberals.

The only problem: he didn’t say that.

What Trump Didn’t Say, and What He Did


Salon did the easiest thing possible — took phrases out of Trump’s Fox News interview. In fact, the interview posted with the article contradicts it.

One hint that the liberal press misquoted the president? The word “constitution” doesn’t even appear in the interview. Not even once.

So what was Trump talking about? Fox News’s Martha MacCallum asks him about his political philosophy. Trump responds that he’s “not really an ideologue.” He’s “a person of common sense.” He gets things done, he says. “I understand what has to be done, I get things done I’ve always been a closer. We don’t have a lot of closers in politics and I understand why.”

Then comes the quote that the mainstream media jumped on. “It’s a very rough system, it’s an archaic system,” he says. The Constitution? No. He continues:

You look at the rules of the Senate, even the rules of the House. The rules of the Senate, some of the things you have to go through. It’s really a bad thing for the country. In my opinion, they are archaic rules. Maybe, at some point, we’re going to have to take those rules on. For the good of the nation, things are going to have to be different. You can’t go through a process like this. It’s not fair, it forces you to make bad decisions.

What’s He Upset About?

Does Trump reject the Constitution in the interview? No, he never even mentions it. What’s he upset about? The rules of Congress, especially the Senate. He thinks those rules are “archaic.”

Trump may be flustered working with Congress, but he hasn’t deserted our system of checks and balances to become a dictator.

The fake news piece had 17,500 Facebook shares at the time this article went to publication. There has been no retraction or correction. Will Google push it down in search results? Will Facebook flag it as fake news? Probably not.

{weeklystandard.com} ~ After Neil Gorsuch was confirmed, most of America moved on to Russia, North Korea, the tax plan, and Rodrigo Duterte. But a small universe of Republican legal thinkers moved on, instead... to war-gaming the next Supreme Court vacancy. It is widely believed that Justice Anthony Kennedy will step down in the near future. One of the selling points for Gorsuch was that, as a former Kennedy clerk, his elevation would reassure the 80-year-old justice that Trump could be trusted to pick his successor. If/when that comes to pass, President Trump will be faced with the decision to stick with the list of 21 potential justices he provided during the campaign, or go rogue. And the politics of this decision are complicated by the fact that this will be the first Supreme Court nomination begun without the possibility of a filibuster...

Despite all of Trump’s promises, a border wall isn’t going to happen at this time, but of course he is pledging to “try again” in September. But will anything change for the Democrats between now and September?  Of course not. The Democrats will continue to use these same tactics whenever funding for a border wall comes up, and because Republicans always end up backing down on the most controversial issues that means that there never will be a border wall...http://www.thesleuthjournal.com/democrats-trump-republicans-never-border-wall/

She also gets to keep the Facebook page that The Blaze created for her, and on which she has amassed 4.3 million followers. Lahren will “promptly” return The Blaze’s “intellectual property” that was posted to the Facebook page, said her lawyer, Brian Lauten.

President Evo Morales gift to Pope Francis
 
{tommclaughlin.blogspot.com} ~ It was worse than I thought. The Roman Catholic Church was being undermined by Marxists further back than I ever imagined. I knew there were Jesuits and other priests holding official positions in the Marxist Sandinista government of Nicaragua during the 1970s, but I thought they were anomalous. Now I’m learning that a majority of Jesuits believe Marxism and Christianity have more commonalities than differences.
z13.jpg
For decades, Marxist Catholic priests and bishops stayed in the closet, just as Marxist Democrats in the US government did, but Marxists in Catholic Church came out first — during the 1970s near as I can tell. They were led by Jesuits who had for centuries been the most conservative of priestly orders. By the seventies they’d become the furthest left. Marxists in the Democrat Party are mostly closeted, though Bernie Sanders opened the door by declaring himself socialist. The support he received last year indicates like-minded Democrats are in the majority.
kaine-pope-communists-200x150.png
Sanders came close to the presidency in 2016. Had he won, he’d have replaced the deeply-closeted Barack liar-nObama. He lost the nomination, however, to liar-Hillary Clinton, who chose as her running mate Virginia Senator Tim Kaine. He was nearly elected vice-president — a heartbeat away from the presidency. Kaine was educated by Jesuits. He’s also a true-believer in Marxist “Liberation Theology” under which Jesuits justify making revolution alongside Marxist guerrillas in the jungles of Central America and elsewhere.
christ.jpg
One Jesuit, James Francis Carney, SJ was born and raised in Chicago and killed while fighting with Marxist revolutionaries in Honduras. “We Christian-Marxists have to fight side-by-side in Central America with the Marxists who do not believe in God,” Carney wrote, “in order to form a new socialist society . . . To be a Christian is to be a revolutionary.” If you google Carney's name, you’ll find nothing but adulatory posts about him from other Jesuits and Catholics in general. Tim Kaine sought out and spent an evening with Father James Carney in Central America before he was killed.
foto-1.jpg
I’m nearly done with a book called The Jesuits, by the late Malachi Martin, a former Jesuit. It was published in 1986, and I wish I’d gotten my hands on it sooner. Martin makes a strong case that Jesuits moved away from the traditional Christian view that the individual human soul is where the battle between good and evil is fought. Now, he says, there exists within the order a “tendency to disassociate the concept of evil from the individual man and woman and to place it instead within a societal framework.”
che-liberationideology.jpg
Evil in that “societal framework” is capitalism — as practiced in Central America and elsewhere under the leadership of the United States. That’s what Jesuits fight now. On page 57 of The Jesuits, Martin describes the nexus of Liberation Theology and Marxist-Leninism, in part, thusly: “Hell became the capitalist system. The American president, leader of the greatest capitalist country, became the Great Satan.” In 2013, the conservative Pope Benedict XVI resigned and was replaced by Pope Francis, the first Jesuit pope.
5372ignatiusofl_00000005192.jpg
Martin sometimes called Jesuits the pope’s “rapid deployment force.” That’s apt, as he explained when describing former soldier St. Ignatius of Loyola’s purpose in founding the Society of Jesus, as the Jesuits are called officially, back in the 1500s. They were like soldiers, only they were fighting intellectually and morally, not physically. Each member had to undergo a rigorous educational training regimen so as to be ready to match up with the sharpest theologians, scientists, philosophers, politicians and government officials the world over. For centuries they engaged in intellectual combat with anti-Christian leaders in Enlightenment Europe and more than held their own.
quote-the-jesuits-have-a-vow-to-obey-the-pope-but-if-the-pope-is-a-jesuit-maybe-he-should-pope-francis-10-12-25.jpg
For more than four hundred years, Jesuits took the usual vows other priests did as well as an additional vow of total obedience to the pope himself, whoever he might be and whatever he might order. Under conservative Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI, Jesuits chafed against their orders. What will happen under Pope Francis — one of their own?
13268299_10206748861101672_7496513394192057030_o-7-1024x354.jpg
Recent remarks from Father Arturo Sosa Abascal, the new Jesuit Superior-General, are making big waves. He claims we cannot know what Jesus actually said because there were no tape recorders two thousand years ago. He claims the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John cannot be taken literally, and that: “Doctrine is a word that I don’t like very much. It brings with it the image of the hardness of stone,” he said. “Instead, the human reality is much more nuanced. It is never black or white. It is in continual development.”
quote-constitution-is-a-living-document-no-strict-constructionism-barack-obama-136-72-61.jpg
What he said about the gospels is much like what Democrats claim about our Constitution: There are no absolutes. They can mean whatever you want them to mean.

 Is the End Near for NAFTA? 
VbghNl6GEyUTnyMgRRrx4qO9Aq1l03tZz3_LD113BwlEuAFFQcVV9-fEXlJ5nqNHYrVxrntf356AO5iWQlEa67RLwWq9L7oY3NErWC6NxKEKYnLNVqnnkVcRbm7nPg=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=
By Michael Swartz: Since being signed into law by Bill liar-Clinton in 1993, the North American Free Trade Agreement has been a political whipping boy for various interests. In particular, one group of Americans has never warmed up to the opportunities NAFTA could have provided.
          That sting was felt by those who saw the maquiladoras lined up along the border between the United States and Mexico. These duty- and tariff-free assembly plants were a constant reminder to those whose livelihoods were being erased by a southward stampede of American manufacturing. Thanks to NAFTA, companies could now crank out products once made in the Rust Belt with a significant cost difference thanks to the cheaper labor in Mexico. Meanwhile, those fortunate enough to get a job in these factories could begin to make their way up Mexico's version of the economic ladder.
          On the other hand, some estimates say NAFTA supports 14 million American jobs, and has generated $1 trillion in trade between the three nations.
          A number of politicians over the years have attempted to curry favor with protectionists by running against NAFTA, but none were more forceful or outspoken while being successful than Donald Trump. There's little doubt that thousands of onetime laborers and factory workers took to heart Trump's promise to repeal or at least renegotiate the trade pact with more favorable terms for America, and those votes may have made the difference in states like Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin.
          Promising to address the issue in his first 100 days and actually governing are two different things, though. Factor in Trump's tendency to shift positions on the fly, and you get what one Canadian trade group's director of government affairs called Trump's "typical way of doing things — saying completely unreasonable things as a negotiating posture." Thus, it was only a matter of a few hours — and conversations with both Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto — before the president's initial threat to drop NAFTA entirely softened to a vow to renegotiate the pact while reserving the right to withdraw and negotiate separate bilateral deals with each nation.
          Having separate deals rather than one common market seems to be Trump's true preference anyway. Trump showed this by withdrawing from the Trans Pacific Partnership. Then again, just Thursday he threatened to terminate a bilateral trade agreement with South Korea, calling it too "a horrible deal" that's left America "destroyed." So who knows.
          As a deal struck in the days before more recent technical advances like iPhones, Google, and virtual retail, where even a tiny shop has the capability to sell products to far-flung corners of the world, there are many observers who believe a renegotiation of NAFTA could rejuvenate the free trade movement and enhance economic freedom. They also see it as an opportunity to make the deal more of a trade agreement, eliminating many of the sidebar issues negotiators insisted on including, such as environmental mandates or labor regulations.
          On the other hand, there are those who feel that the U.S. should adopt a "Buy American, Hire American" stance on trade and immigration. Trump issued an executive order regarding that very thing last week. Others call that "dangerous nonsense" and argue it isn't a viable solution at the moment because (A) the last thing the world economy needs is a trade war that America starts, and (B) adopting a protectionist approach to trade and — to a lesser extent — immigration will only lead us in that direction. To lead in a market, one must first be able to compete in it. Companies that corner a domestic market often become complacent and lag far behind globally.
          Yes, NAFTA has problems. Witness the recent Trump move to place tariffs on Canadian softwood because the administration argues our northern neighbor is subsidizing its industry at America's expense. For its part, Canada also puts its own tariff on American dairy products, so we aren't talking about a completely free trade zone here. Broad areas of commerce between the three nations, particularly in energy and technology, are exempted from NAFTA.
          Whichever way the Trump administration eventually decides to go, the prevailing wisdom is that NAFTA isn't long for its present form. If he can master the art of this deal, Donald Trump may set the precedent for American prosperity in a global economy for the next couple generations. Because whether you agree with his trade positions or not, it's clear his message is "America first."  ~The Patriot Post

{dailycaller.com} ~ Ahead of a highly anticipated Senate hearing later this week, FBI Director James Comey is being accused of making inconsistent statements about the bureau’s relationship with Christopher Steele... the ex-British spy behind the Trump dossier. “There appear to be material inconsistencies between the description of the FBI’s relationship with Mr. Steele that you did provide in your briefing and information contained in Justice Department documents made available to the Committee only after the briefing,” Grassley wrote to Comey. Grassley will have a chance to quiz Comey on the issue on Wednesday, when the FBI chief testifies before the Judiciary Committee in a routine oversight hearing...

{dailycaller.com} ~ A government watchdog withheld at least 14 reports that revealed department-wide problems that allow fraud and waste at a cabinet-level agency... The Daily Caller News Foundation’s (TheDCNF) Investigative Group has learned. The reports concern issues plaguing the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), including felons illegally living in federally-funded homes, tax fraud and millions of dollars sitting in unused bank accounts for years. The department’s 2017 budget is $48.9 billion and it has 8,375 employees. The HUD Inspector General (IG) posted its systemic implication reports – documents that reveal opportunities for fraud in agency programs – to its website. A comparison between that listing and another TheDCNF previously obtained through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request showed 14 reports from 2011 through 2014 were excluded from the IG’s the website... http://dailycaller.com/2017/04/30/exclusive-hud-watchdog-kept-14-fraud-reports-hidden-from-public/

{meforum.org} ~ The Middle East Forum has filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to secure the release of documents related to the liar-nObama administration's Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) grant program... The grant program, which began last year, is intended to assist "efforts at the community level to counter violent extremist recruitment and radicalization to violence," but MEF was concerned about U.S. Islamist groups – themselves radicals – receiving CVE funds. Indeed, grant recipients have included the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), an organization with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and a long history of sanitizing Islamist terrorism...

{aim.org} ~ The political left has made a complete pig’s breakfast of our educational system. Safe Snowflake Schools for Socialism... Political intolerance is now the official policy at colleges and universities across the United States with violence or the threat thereof as the means of enforcing extreme leftist orthodoxy. Eric Clanton, a faculty member at California’s Diablo Valley College and alleged ANTIFA (self-proclaimed anti-fascist but in reality anti-First Amendment) activist, who spends “a lot of time thinking about REVOLUTION,” is the prime suspect in bloody attacks, where a bicycle lock was used as a weapon to assault free speech campaigners and Trump supporters. Clanton’s Diablo Valley College profile has now been scrubbed, but according to the WayBack Machine, he joined the faculty in 2015 and “His primary research interests are ethics and politics.” Got that?

WND, Trump neutering the mainstream media

{wnd.com} ~ Before Saturday night, it was unthinkable for a president to skip the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Although, don’t mistake a president’s attendance for enjoyment.

Presidents have always had two main reasons for attending this gathering of the out-of-touch media elite. One: They fear the media. Two: They desire the media’s adulation.

The thought of skipping the WHCD was previously unthinkable. To disrespect the all-powerful media in that way would start a war.

What Republicans in D.C. have never understood was that the war had already begun. There was no amount of cozying up to journalists at swanky dinners that would make the media love them.

Republican presidents in the past hoped their respectful treatment and capitulation in the war with the media would somehow result in them giving up or being nice.

President Bush’s tactic of never defending himself as the media bashed him only emboldened the elitists and allowed them to paint him as a bumbling idiot.

President Trump is taking the opposite approach and is dismantling the mainstream media a little bit every day. Day 100 of the Trump presidency just passed, and if the media keep up their war on the president, they may be unrecognizable before the end of his presidency.

On Fox Business this week, I likened the media to “the person with lung cancer that won’t quit smoking.”

On Saturday night, the WHCD was dedicated to trashing President Trump, but this wasn’t the first time that happened.

At the 2011 WHCD, when Donald Trump was reportedly contemplating a GOP primary run to challenge liar-nObama in 2012, Seth Meyers spent two-and-a-half minutes on Trump. Meyers famously joked, “Donald Trump has been saying that he will run for president as a Republican … which is surprising, since I just assumed that he was running as a joke.”

An expressionless Donald Trump didn’t find it funny at all, and neither did anyone else outside of that room. Although President Trump denies it, you can almost see him deciding to run for president in that two-and-a-half minutes of bashing by Meyers.

The nasty treatment of Trump continued last night at the 2017 WHCD, and the media are so out of touch that they have no idea they are a laughingstock outside of their bubble in D.C. and New York City.

We weren’t laughing at the jokes told at the WHCD; we were laughing at the media who have become a joke.

Before Trump’s election, conservatives felt alone, and I was one of them. I, like many of you, would read a biased article or watch a slanted report on television and become so upset that some Americans out there could be falling prey to the media’s biased reporting.

With Trump’s election, voters in Middle America found out they weren’t alone, and we have a new view of the media.

Now, when we see a biased headline or a slanted TV news segment, we laugh!

We now know that we were never alone in our frustration and that there are countless millions out there who also recognized the fake news being spewed by the mainstream media.

The only ones being fooled now are the so-called journalists who believe they are still able to shape public opinion.

The media are only shooting themselves in the foot as they continue their overtly biased coverage, and we can only hope they keep it up.

WND has been on the forefront of exposing mainstream media bias, and it is an honor to be part of such a great organization.

This week, WND celebrates 20 years of reporting stories the mainstream media either ignored or distorted.

And it is great to have a president who is now fighting the media alongside us as WND begins its next 20 years taking on and providing an alternative to the lamestream mainstream media.

Congratulations to WND for an amazing 20 years!
