A website and eventbrite.com promoted rallies in Washington, DC, and other cities across the country to take place Monday to push for the impeachment of President Donald Trump – but no one showed up for the one at the Capitol.   The website, impeachmentaugust.org, said the protest would take place at 11:00 a.m. at 1st Street SE, which is near the House side of the Capitol. The website states that the protest is supported by several leftist and anti-Trump groups, including Indivisible, MoveOn, Need to Impeach, Stand Up America, March of Truth, By the People, Common Cause, Free Speech for People, Democracy for America, Progressive Democrats of...

An “Impeach Trump” rally was held in D.C., but only two Democrat members of the House showed up. The Hill reported that two House Democrats joined a coalition of liberal advocacy groups on Thursday to deliver a petition with more than 10 million signatures urging Congress to begin impeachment proceedings against President Trump. Reps. Al Green (Texas) and Rashida Tlaib (Mich.), the most vocal advocates for impeachment among House Democrats, joined with groups including Need to Impeach, Free Speech For People, CREDO, MoveOn, Democracy for America, Women’s March, Courage Campaign and By the People in a rally in front of...

The organizers of a rally calling for the impeachment of President Donald Trump said the event was held to deliver to Congress a petition with more than ten million signatures urging for the action, but only two House Democrats showed up in support. Reps. Al Green (D-TX) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) were the only two Democrats to attend and speak at the event. They were joined by a host of leftwing organizations, including CREDO, George Soros-funded MoveOn.org, the Woman’s March — including pro-Palestinian activist Linda Sarsour — and Free Speech for People. “I always tell people: ‘This is your House,...

RUSH: Here’s another great piece, another Limbaugh echo. There’s so many Limbaugh echoes out there today that I’m reveling in it here, folks. By the way, from TheHill.com, headline: “Left Says Democrats Caved on Shutdown — Progressives are hammering [Chuck You] Schumer for his agreement … to end the government shutdown on Monday. Even House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has spoken out against the deal, saying there was no reason to support it. ‘I don’t see that there’s any reason — I’m speaking personally and hearing from my members — to support what was put forth,’ Pelosi said…” Pelosi is...

Even as the contours of the nuclear deal with Iran remain unknown (though a total cave in is strongly suspected), a progressive “Dark Money” group, whose donors’ identities are hidden, is threatening Democrats who might oppose the deal to keep their mouths shut and vote with the administration. Adam Kredo reports in the Washington Free Beacon: A prominent progressive organization linked to the White House and claiming to work for dozens of like-minded groups is threatening to attack any congressional Democrat who objects to a final nuclear deal with Iran, even before the terms of any such agreement have been...

Barack Obama is an addict. And his drug of choice is the money showered on him by Bay Area billionaires.

CREDO, a progressive grassroots group, is organizing a march on the National Rifle Association's lobbying arm in Washington, D.C. Monday. "After the shooter Adam Lanza, no one is more to blame for the massacre of 20 first graders and six women at the Sandy Hook Elementary School than the National Rifle Association," CREDO wrote on the Facebook page where the march is being organized. "To stop the senseless killing we must first stop the NRA."

Credo, n., Any formula of belief. In politics and propaganda belief is everything, which makes facts or evidence disposable. Florida – who wrested the title for Wackiest In The Union from California – is a perpetual target for leftists. The reasons are wide, ranging from an aging and thus conservative population to the number of Yankee transplants that adopted certain Southern sensibilities about important issues (all you Yankees and half-backs who have concealed carry permits, raise your trigger finger). But nothing angers and confuses a lefty more than what happened in 2000 when Al Gore lost Florida. Ignoring that Al...

The leftists are marketing "Credo Mobile" against AT&T and Verizon. Their advertisement asserts that AT&T and Verizon "support politicians opposed to real healthcare reform, like a single-payer system or public option" and that they "fund anti-environment politicians". Who knew? If that's true, support AT&T and Verizon!AlterNet's promotional e-mail tells its followers to "Join the mobile phone company that's fighting for a robust public option in healthcare reform-and hasn't given a cent to Joe Lieberman."

The creed tells us Jesus “ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.” Psalm 68:18-20 reads:“Thou didst ascend the high mount, leading captives in thy train, and receiving gifts among men, even among the rebellious, that the Lord God may dwell there. Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears us up; God is our salvation. Our God is a God of salvation; and to God, the Lord, belongs escape from death.”Christian liturgical tradition has long associated this Psalm with the triumphal entry of Christ into heaven at the Ascension.The original hymn is equally triumphal and...

Read the original post here Credo colleague Chris Dierkes has requested thoughts on the idea of the church as the "resilient community," or the "base community," providing a durable and lasting protection against the shocks of the world; and Justin Hart has responded with his insights from the LDS perspective; and so I will exercise my prerogative to reply in a post. The idea of faith as the communal bedrock, absorbing the blows of the world, goes back to the Jewish exile to Babylon, and for all we know much before. When the people of Israel were dragged into captivity,...
