Fifteen years after the 9/11 attacks, Islamophobia is on the rise in America.Anti-Muslim hate crimes are approximately five times more frequent than they were before 2001, according to the FBI. The past year has been particularly brutal, especially in the aftermath of Islamic State-claimed attacks in Europe and the San Bernardino shootings last December carried out by a Muslim husband and wife. More reports of mosque vandalism and attacks against those believed to be Muslim surfaced. Anti-Muslim rhetoric has also been given an enormous boost of pseudo-credibility and prominence by Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

Overheated? There is conflicting information in FoxNews reports about Hillary Clinton leaving Memorial Plaza during 9/11 ceremonies this morning. Clinton had been standing with Donald Trump, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, former NY Mayor Michael Bloomberg, former NYPD commissioner Bernie Kerik, and others paying respect to those whose lives were lost on September 11, 2001. “But, as a law enforcement source stationed about “15 feet away” from Clinton told Fox News’ Rick Leventhal, Clinton left the Lower Manhattan, N.Y. ceremony early due to what was being called an apparent “medical episode.” (FoxNews, Sept. 11, 2016)

What follows is the article Vanderboegh posted. Read it, save it and pass it along to your friends.

In 2002, John Thune lost a South Dakota US Senate race by 524 votes after being ahead by 3,729 votes at 3:41 a.m. with no counties containing Indian reservations having reported. Then a “suspicious” batch of votes for incumbent Democrat Tim Johnson came in from the state’s Indian reservations. They amounted to 4253 votes and Thune lost by a handful of votes. In 2004 Thune tackled an even bigger target when he challenged Democrat Senator Leader Tom Daschle. This time things were different. This time Thune reached out to Russell Means, the leader of the American Indian Movement and a...

Scroll down 3 pictures you will find the 20 second video of Clinton waiting for the van to come. She is literally collapsing and cannot get on the van!!! You also see a secret service agent getting in front of the camera to block the view of the camera. Look at all the people helping her in!

Americans have been subjected to enough nonsense from both Romney and Johnson. Both of them are failed presidential candidates who need to just shut up and go home Just one day after jealous 2012 Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney recommended that Gary Johnson, the Libertarian Party presidential nominee, be included in the debates, the idea has been exposed as patently ridiculous. On Thursday’s edition of the MSNBC program “Morning Joe” Johnson was asked “what about Aleppo?” Incredibly, the candidate who is auditioning to be Commander-in-Chief of the United States of America, responded, “and what is Aleppo?” His ignorance of the...

God bless the souls of all those who died on Sept. 11, 2001. God bless America in its epic battle for sovereignty against globalism Somewhere in the private family quarters of the White House today, President Barack Obama will observe a moment of silence for the 15th anniversary of 9/11. We learn this not from the Washington Post or the New York Times but from The Guardian in Britain. “Obama will mark Sunday’s anniversary of 9/11 by observing a moment of silence in the privacy of the White House residence at 8.46am ET, when American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into...

If you want a basket of deplorables, I give you a basket of deplorables: Beets. Deplorable. And if you like beets let me apologize for my “grossly generalistic”  characterization, butt I still hate them. Representing both coasts and a wide swath of flyover America let me assure you that of the entire lot of MOTI gathered for the FFF - Bakken Wag, Boo, Creeper, Doug Ross, GW, Needlepointer, Noelle’s Bootcut Kittenpants, Robin and Mr. Robin, Upnorthlurkin and Mr. Lurkin – there is nary a smidgen of deplorable in the lot. In fact, nothing here butt fine specimens of American exceptionalism....

Actually it's my husband. A woman from the National Opinion Research Center (U of Chicago) showed up at our door yesterday to follow up on a letter from the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services branch of Dept of HHS) sent to him (don't remember getting one) to participate in the Medicare Beneficiary Survey. I think he should ignore this. Does anyone know anything about this? Should he participate?

Former President Bill Clinton made an effort to stir opposition to Donald Trump’s promise to “make America great again” by claiming its intent is “racist. These are code words understood by all white people as a pledge to put blacks down.” “The main targets of Donald Trump’s vow to bring law and order to our inner cities are black youths,” Clinton asserted. “Look at what he’s saying about black gangs killing each other in Chicago. Clearly, these are the people who will be suppressed by Trump’s knee-jerk support for law enforcement.” “What is his promise to bring jobs back to...

Talking Points: Blame media for double standard. Like the media has let Trump slide by.

Following last month’s catastrophic flooding in large parts of Louisiana, the organization that creates safety and technical standards for firearm ammunition published guidelines for salvaging wet ammo. The Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute along with the gun industry’s trade association, the National Shooting Sports Foundation, published the document to help gun owners determine what to do with ammo that has been affected by water and moisture. The short answer, they say, is err on the side of caution and do not try to salvage ammo that has been completely submerged in water. Using such ammo could result in damage...

“Jesus Receives, Rejoices over, and Restores Sinners” (Luke 15:1-10; 1 Timothy 1:5-17) Jesus receives sinners. Do you qualify? If so, great, I’ve got good news for you today. Or do you not think you’re not that bad of a sinner? Well, in that case, you’re on your own. Good luck with that. Jesus receives sinners. That’s the message that comes through loud and clear in our Gospel reading today, from Luke chapter 15. And when Jesus receives sinners, he rejoices over them, he rejoices that they’ve been found and brought back. And not only does Jesus receive sinners, and not...

While crybaby millionaire athletes opt to disrespect the land that provides them the incredible opportunity to play a game for a living by sitting during the National Anthem, legendary rockers KISS are taking a very different approach. Arguably one of the best rock bands in the history of the genre, KISS is currently on their “Freedom to Rock” Tour, which they fittingly launched on July 4th, making it a point to show our country and the men and women who are sworn to protect her the respect they so richly deserve. During one particular concert, the band stopped in the...

On September 9th, North Korea conducted its fifth nuke test, of its most powerful nuke thus far. Can Obama get China to help make North Korea stop developing and testing nukes? Nope. China sees Obama, not as the representative of the world's greatest power, but as a joke. He has no clout internationally and is a national embarrassment.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PLVnqdj580 China and North Korea - a very short historyHere's a link to an article I posted on June 25, 2013 about the Korean conflict. To summarize, China and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) have a long history of acting together....
