For that, they can thank Hillary Clinton and barrack Obama, in any order they choose.

He is a breath of fresh air in the Middle East.

He saved Egypt from brutal despotism under Morsi & Muslim Brotherhood Terrorists. (Obama helped put Morsi in power, Egyptians knew)

Sisi refused orders to fire on Egyptian Citizens, he stopped murders and terrorism of the Coptic Christians. He promised to rebuild the burned churches and is doing so. It’s clear that the Coptic Christian leadership have a good relationship with him.

Morsi and the MB Terrorists are still in prison. That will not change.

Thank God in Heaven that the Egyptian people and their military threw off the Muslim Brotherhood terrorists.

The fact is folks, the US PResident and his horrible administration engineered the over throw of one of our allies and his replacement by a terror organization. An organization I might add that to this day has members in our US administration!

They were raping and pillaging the nation of Egypt...and condoning and standing by while Coptic Christians in that country were beaten, their churches burned, and they were killed, come by literal crucifixion.

That same Muslim Brotherhood leadership in Egypt at the time, worked closely with our State Department and the then ambassador to Egypt, to funnel guns to Islamic terrorists in Syria from Libya with the help our Ambassador Stevens. When that deal went bad, Stevens and others were killed in Benghazi and this administration (in the US) covered it up.

I hope and pray to this day that Sis and his intelligence people, who have been hunting down and executing the MB ever since, have gained damning evidence on Obama and Hillary that they are waiting until a sympathetic and true American administration is elected in the US to reveal.

Either way, for the Egyptian people and for us...thanks God they overthrew the Muslim Brotherhood.

It is up to us to run Obama and his ilk out of office and not elect others like Hillary who would continue their work.

The Preisdent of Egypt has officially shown more support for Christians than the resident (not a typo) of the US. Sigh.

I recall several cases where Islamic Egyptians locked arms with Christians surrounding Christian churchs and protecting them from the Moslem Brotherhood gangs. It was a scene that proves hope is possible.

Well, according to some, it sounds like the Egyptians may have already shared the intel...and I hope it is so.

If so, the ball is in our court and I do not expect people in the appropriate position would act until after the elections and a new president and congress are in.

I am sure the pols think that there is no need for another impeachment without the conviction. If we get the votes in the Senate, I pray we will go ahead with it because the blood of patriots is crying out for it.

But we need clean votes in the House and the Senate...and that means we need people of integrity and honor to be elected so they cannot black mail and compromise them.

I am confidant that God will continue to bless this great nation...but I am not so confidant of what He may require of us in order to retain His blessings.

Despite there being many millions of honest, God-fearing and faithful citizens...there have been enough others who have given our nation the abortion holocaust, the depravity of homosexuality and gay marriage, treachery in so many places, Godlessness in office, and the utter propagandizing of entire generations through the public schools.

Particularly for abortion, I am old school and believe ultimately God in Heaven will require that innocent blood at our nation’s hands.

Irrespective, God’s speed and blessings to you and yours.

Yes, and I think the spillover effect among ComDems is going to be devastating.
