Just got this notice from a church leader I've been following on Facebook: The crisis in Iraq has got worse than ever. Scores have been murdered, (behead, raped, homes and churches destroyed we always think it can't get worse and it does. Dr Sarah is in Erbil and her stories today are just too awful to tell. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From A Trusted Sorce The islamist group (ISIS) just took over Quaragosh, the biggest Christian city in Iraq. There are hundreds of men, women and children that are being beheaded. The people are asking for prayers to be made on their behalf...

May question is raised after I saw News Reports of a girl being raped by 4 guys while others on the beach watched. I am 80 and generally carry a 1911 concealed. What if I come on a similar situation? I would call 911... then what? Try to get others involved to stop the attack? Shooting an attacker might be excessive.. also I may be in the midst of a mob. I would like to see some discussion.

Today I put on the uniform for the last time. I was honored that Conor MacNessa and his bride were there to share the day. To recap a 33 year career, I penned the following, all because I raised my right hand so many years ago, titled "No Regrets": I have jumped from high in the sky, and dived deep into the sea I have seen the sun rise from the peak of Mount Sinai, And watched it set into the Mediterranean from the beach at Tel Aviv I have seen the sun glimmering off the snow-covered volcanic mountains of...

It's the NRSC Straw Poll.

No one is above the laws of this Nation, it is time to bring charges against this President, the State Department, DHS, FBI, and all other departments of the US that are conspiring to change the demographics of this Nation by flooding the country with illegal foreign Nationals! One could also charge these criminals with conspiring to over throw the lawful government by providing illegal foreign nationals to vote in our federal elections in a blatant attempt to over throw the existing republican form of government under the US Const. article 4 section 4 to a mob rule democracy! SEDITION...

Loyal Americans are puking their brains out watching Obama destroy our country...he is proving his muslim background every damn day. First of all, the muslim White House chose to celebrate Easter and the Easter Prayer Breakfast on Tuesday which is two days after Easter Sunday (just think about the message this Commie White House sends by doing that) Then the White House muslim takes another swipe against Christians by saying "And I have to say that sometimes when I listen to less-than-loving expressions by Christians, I get concerned. But that's a topic for another day" (to the sound of applause...

How about a movement that no public dollars can go to any public university, institution or organization that teaches, advances or encourages minority racist discussions about "White Privilege," or gives courses/degrees in it. White Privilege is a minority racist idea that smears all white people, and makes judgments based purely on stereotypes without taking into account the individuality of specific white people. Let's demand that no public university, institution or organization can have any minority-only events unless whites-only events are also allowed. Let's demand that no "anti-white privilege" minority racist be allowed to use ANYTHING that was ever invented by...

For many people the explanation of Obama's dealings with Iran are simple enough, he's a Muslim and he hates Jews. But I thought Muslims didn't kill fellow Muslims. Why did Bin Laden get killed? There's explanation from the reaction of Marxist-Leninist (Communist) personalities to the events of 9/11. Gerry Adams of Sinn Fein-IRA (a Soviet backed terror organization of renown in its more violent days) spoke in Dublin five days afterwards saying 9/11 was a "major setback" for "progressive movements" around the world. His comments were echoed word for word months later by none other than one of the world's...

Ted Cruz would make a great President. Cruz is a patriot and an expert on the US constitution. He has made freedom-loving Americans happy with his attacks on ObamaCare, and his call to abolish the IRS. But he is obviously not an expert on everything, and does not seem to know much about music and the demographics associated with music. Cruz recently said: "...I grew up listening to classic rock, and I’ll tell you sort of an odd story: My music taste changed on 9/11. And it’s very strange. I actually intellectually find this very curious. But on 9/11, I...

Did You Know that American advanced F-14 Tom Cat Fighter Jets, helped to keep Ayatollah Khomeini in Power during the Iran-Iraq War in the 1980s? When Iran was under the pro-American Shah of Iran, America sold 79 F-14 Tom Cats to Iran in 1974-1978. The world's most experienced combat pilots in the F-14 are Iranians. According to Wikipedia: "...In 1980, an Iranian F-14 shot down an Iraqi Mil Mi-25 helicopter for its first air-to-air kill during the Iran–Iraq War. According to research by Tom Cooper, within the first six months of the war Iranian F-14s scored over 50 air-to-air victories,...

I believe that we are in a war, a war that we have no idea how to fight. We don’t understand the rules of engagement. Our opponents have a take no prisoners attitude and we just want to be nice to everyone. On top of that, most of us are too busy taking care of ourselves and our families to want to engage in warfare with people that we have no animus towards. Additionally, we are much too comfortable to risk what we have to run off tilting at windmills. So the slide into totalitarianism continues. It is, however, reaching...

Does anyone know if Indiana or Arkansas have Gubernatorial recall options?

1. Rand Paul is strong among libertarian Republicans and anti-war isolationists on foreign policy. 2. Ted Cruz is strong among pro-life evangelicals and those in favor of a hawkish interventionist foreign policy. He is also favored by those who see the elimination of Obama Care as a priority. 3. Scott Walker, as a governor, is favored by those who want someone with executive experience. He stood up against public sector unions, just like Reagan stood up against the air traffic controllers. The unions forced a recall election against Governor Walker but lost. Scott Walker is also favored among supporters of...

Today's labor statistics indicate, at least to me, something that we have long suspected. Labor statistics are being manipulated for political purposes. 126k jobs were added in March compared to the expected 245k. February's jobs numbers were revised downward from 295k to 264k. January's jobs numbers were revised downward from 239k to 201k. The unemployment rate remains unchanged at 5.5%.It seems apparent that the Obama administration manipulates the job numbers. The few Americans at casually pay attention to the news hears one thing: employment rate of 5.5%, and perhaps, what ever the latest month's success is in job creation by...

Question for a Mormon How does the Mormon community react when one Mormon tells lies about another Mormon and brags of the lie's success.

Three months ago, the lapdog media was convinced that the confirmation of Attorney General nominee Loretta Lynch was a "slam dunk." Now, not so much. Lynch, as you may remember, has been characterized as "Eric Holder in a skirt." She committed, under oath, to continue to push Holder's unconstitutional anti-gun executive amnesty. She is in favor of a semi-auto ban, which should be of interest at a time when the Justice Department is using every means possible to ban semi-autos by executive fiat. In addition, when asked about the central pillar of Barack Obama's anti-gun push -- the universal background...

So What Is all This Homosexual Drama in the Media Obscuring? So what are we NOT supposed to be paying attention to in the media? What is being covered up? I understand the drama of this issue and the significance to these atheists attacking Believers on Holy Week. But there is something else? Iran? Africa? More executive orders and more loss of freedom? What is it?

George Stephanopoulos was one of the leading members of Clinton's 1992 U.S. presidential campaign and worked in the Clinton administration before turning "journalist." In 2012, he injected the birth-control-pill issue into the 2012 presidential election debate to create the illusion of a GOP "War on Women." The objective may have been to help create camaraderie among women to benefit Hillary. Now, it seems that he is doing it again. Out of the clear blue, he pounded Mike Pence on signing a bill that many states have. The issue this time is LGBT. Is it possible that Hillary is going to...

No violation of anyone's rights here... Easy... the way to solve this... every business should accept any customer, from all walks of life... BUT, the business should make it publicly known that any profits from work they provide to select individuals or groups will be donated to political action committees that rally for the business’ beliefs. Sign in the window could read: "We will not discriminate in conducting business. We will, however, use our profits as we see fit, including supporting groups that will ensure our religious freedom." In other words, take the business and money from the gay/lesbian customer,...
