Today’s War Against Christianity

Islamists attack French church, slit priest’s throat

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-france-hostages-idUSKCN1060VA

The above article is referring to the ISIS invasions into Christian institutions overseas so frequently occurring these days.

How odd!  What are  these bloodthirsty Islamist thinking about Christianity these days?   It’s already pretty much dead in today’s  zombie Germany headed by girly thinker, Angela Merkel.   Why are these Syrian  primatives wasting their time persecuting the dead?

I am surprised there are  any priests   left at all in this 7th decade  of neoMarxist France.    These savages marching, marching for Islam apparently were able to corner an 84 year old performing Mass instead of murdering in  the glorious  name of Allah.   I wonder if the majority atheists in France are a bit disturbed yet.

Our American president carries a romance about Islam and its Allah.  His administration, including his mouth,  is forbidden to speak the words “Radical Islamic Terrorist”.  He intentionally  turned success in Iraq into failure by leaving war-torn Iraqis to fend for themselves avoiding suicide early in the Obama socialist presidential years.

Mr. Obama was never molded as an American.   His young life was spent in Islamic Indonesia and then raised  in Hawaiian climes, was fatherless in family, and raised by a well-off leftist granny banker.

He attended universities where he studied  Sol Alinsky and other intellectual leftist political extremists  devoted to government dictatorships….Records of his university  radical communist and socialist connections and other university records have been made forbidden to the human eye since BHO became politicized, now colluding to cause free America as much damage as possible encouraged by neighbor and friend,  noted American terrorist during the Vietnam war, Bill Ayers.

Millions of illegal immigrants have nestled in our America over the past few years, many hiding in Sanctuary Cities such as San Francisco where the anti free America Obama guarantees their peace and quiet and possibilities for them to help establish the Obama-Hillary Democrat as America’s Socialist command center for eight more years.

Being some kind of an attorney made in America, Mr. Obama has sent our  country into a soon -to -arrive, crippling $20,000,000,000,000 debt.   This Obama’s  Democrat Socialist-Racist  Party   received 95% of the black national vote, a population overwhelmingly without a responsible, legal father to guide a family.

Savages rule in countless American black neighborhoods.    This population claims to be  too “victimized” to learn that the primary cause for the collapse of the black family, and much of  American white families today as well,   was caused by Lyndon Baines Johnson’s aid to dependent children……WHEN  IT BECAME MORE  PROFITABLE TO BEAR CHILDREN OUT OF WEDLOCK making the urban American black forever a plantation slave  under a Democrat Party ‘boss madame’?

 

 

 

The Charlie Rangel angle

THE RANGEL ANGLE

by Scott Johnson  at PowerLine:

“I’m winding up my week at the Pritikin Longevity Center & Spa tomorrow and I’m not looking forward to leaving. It’s located at the Trump National Doral Miami. The weather has been accommodating. I’ve learned a lot. Indeed, I think I’ve become a true believer in the gospel according to Pritikin.

I’ve wanted to do this for a long time, going back to the days when the program was based in Santa Monica, but it’s an expensive proposition. For me it’s been a bucket list vacattion that has exceeded expectations in every respect.

My week here has overlapped with that of legendary Harlem Rep. Charlie Rangel. Rep. Rangel’s long career in politics was preceded by his distinguished Army service in Koraa. Contrary to my first impression when I met him in the waiting room before our initial physical on Monday morning, he seems like a gregarious guy. He’s here by himself, but he sits at the group tables and freely shares his experiences and reflections with fellow guests.

Talking about him with one of the guests who had spoken with Rangel, I learned that this is Rep. Rangel’s twelfth time around here and he plans on a thirteenth visit in January. Pritikin features a testimonial from him as a success story.

Congress must have been good to Rep. Rangel. He’s a success story in more ways than one.

Wondering idly about his financial wherewithal after 45 or so years in Congress, I found a 2009 Wall Street Journal editorial that is something of a classic. It is biting and witty. I thought readers might find it instructive. The Journal titled the editorial “The absent-minded chairman.” Here it is:

When normal people happen to “find” their own money, it might mean a twenty left in a winter coat, or discovering change beneath the sofa cushions. But if you’re Charlie Rangel, it means doubling your net worth.

Earlier this month the Chairman of the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee “amended” his 2007 financial disclosure form—to the tune of more than a half-million dollars in previously unreported assets and income. That number may be as high as $780,000, because Congress’s ethics rules only require the Members to report their finances within broad ranges. This voyage of personal financial discovery brings Mr. Rangel’s net worth for 2007 to somewhere between $1.028 million and $2.495 million, while his previous statement came in at $516,015 and $1.316 million.

When you’re a powerful Congressman and working diligently to increase tax rates to pay for President Obama’s health-care plan, we suppose it’s easy to lose track of one of your checking accounts. That would be the one at the federal credit union with a balance somewhere between $250,001 and maybe as high as $500,000. And when you’re crunched for time and pulling together bills to pass in a rush, we guess, too, that you might overlook several other investment accounts, even if some of them are sizable, such as the ones Mr. Rangel missed at JP Morgan, Merrill Lynch, Oppenheimer and BlackRock.

Oh, and those vacant properties in Glassboro, in southern Jersey? Everybody in Manhattan tries not to think much about New Jersey, so those lots and their as-much-as-$15,000 value must also have slipped down the memory hole. (The New York Post reported yesterday that Mr. Rangel failed to pay property taxes for two of the lots, according to the county clerk’s office.)

The Chairman probably isn’t doing a lot of dining at KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell or Long John Silver’s, either, which may explain why he didn’t disclose the $1,001 to $15,000 in stock he owns in Yum Brands, the conglomerate that runs those chain restaurants. Compared to his undisclosed portfolio stake in PepsiCo—$15,001 to $50,000—that’s practically a rounding error.

All lawmakers amend their financial reports from time to time, though rarely are the errors this extensive. Via email, a Rangel spokesman declined to offer details about how the errors occurred, noting that “Once the Ethics Committee completes its work, then we can answer questions in more detail.” He added that Mr. Rangel is now “confident that his records have been subjected to an exhaustive and complete review, and that the amendments accurately reflect his financial interests.”

Among other issues, Mr. Rangel is currently under investigation regarding his use of four rent-stabilized apartments at New York City’s tony Lenox Terrace and soliciting donations with his official letterhead for the Charles B. Rangel Center for Public Service at City College of New York, which was itself built with a $1.9 million earmark. Yet another part of the probe is his failure to report $75,000 in income from a rental villa at the beachfront Punta Cana Yacht Club, in the Dominican Republic.

Mr. Rangel blamed that last one on the language barrier because he doesn’t speak Spanish. We can only imagine what language he speaks with his accountants and tax attorneys.

The New York Daily News updated the Domican villa aspect of the story here in 2011, though it still left a few threads hanging. Something about the sacrifices of public service comes to mind, but I’ll leave it at that for now.”

Too Polite to “Win”

There Is Nothing Honorable about Losing to Hillary

by Karin McQuillan at American Thinker:

“In 2008 we had John McCain, who was too honorable to criticize Barack Hussein Obama.  In 2012 we had Mitt Romney who again was too honorable to attack our first black President.  Now we have Ted
Cruz who is too honorable to honor his pledge of party unity, too honorable to protect our Supreme Court from Hillary’s potential nominees, and too honorable to help us win.  We have all the Libertarians, so honorable they have a shot at throwing the election to Hillary.

We have a whole list of conservative pundits and websites, who could swallow the GOP betraying all their 2012 pledges, doubling our national debt and increasing entitlements, without a word about bolting the party, but Trump’s crude, honest talk is too much for their honor to bear?

We have Paul Ryan who is so honorable he has to rush to the microphones and join the media lynch mob criticizing Trump as racist, while the Dems’ race-baiting over 8 years has gotten a pass.  Ryan’s priority is to protect his own, oh so honorable brand, as a compassionate conservative, superior to the voters as well as Trump.

There is nothing honorable about choosing to lose.

There is nothing honorable about betraying your voters, who picked Trump because all those honorable leaders have been lying to us for years.  They pretend to support enforcing our immigration laws when they have no intention of doing so.  They pretend to be serious about the jihadi threat, while letting millions of sharia-supporting Muslims into our country.  They pretend to be fixing things in the Middle East, while giving the Gulf sheikdoms free rein to turn American mosques into jihadi propaganda centers.  They pretend to be serious about jobs, while refusing to confront the Chinese on currency manipulation.  They pretend to love America, but not enough to protect it from the PC onslaught on our constitutional rights.

Note to all you honorable liars and losers:  the voters are sick of you.  We want someone on our side and someone who will to fight to win.  That’s why Trump was nominated.

Ted Cruz – the honorable thing was to put your personal anger at Trump’s dirty fighting aside.  Yes, he called your wife and father mean, ugly things, completely reprehensible. That’s more important to your conscience than a Hillary Supreme Court?  You told the convention, “And citizens are furious — rightly furious — at a political establishment that cynically breaks its promises and that ignores the will of the people.”  You were talking about yourself, Ted.  You were in the very act of ignoring the voters who elected Trump, not you, and breaking your promise to support the nominee.   And you have the hypocrisy to label that principled.

Message to all you so very honorable constitutional conservatives:  Trump is a far better constitutional candidate than anyone we’ve had a chance to vote for since Reagan, who also had his flaws.  Without borders, we have no country and no rule of law, both of which are prerequisites to a constitutionally limited government.  Think you’re going to get smaller government with amnesty and open borders?

So Trump doesn’t make beautiful intellectual speeches about liberty.  He’s going to protect freedom of speech, religion and the 2nd Amendment, all of which are eroding by the week under progressive misrule.

So Trump isn’t pledging entitlement reform?  He does recognize the need to rein in government over-regulation, so crucial to both liberty and prosperity.  He will get rid of the Common Core federal take-over of education, with its curriculum designed to wipe out American values and love of country among our children.  He will take on special interests such as the environmental lobby, which has hobbled our energy sector, and limited growth.  These are not small improvements.

Hillary will finish destroying everything you hold dear.  Trump will not just hold the line, he will advance it.

It’s nonsense that Trump is a horror, but that Hillary is worse.  Trump gets the basics.

Which is far more than can be said of all you honorable men.

Remember When Ted Kennedy Killed that Woman at Chappaquiddick?

‘BELOVED’ HILLARY ISN’T THE ONLY DEMOCRAT NOTED FOR GETTING BY WITH “MURDER”.

CHAPPAQUIDDICK MOVIE HEADS TOWARDS PRODUCTION

Last December, John wrote about the plan to make a movie about the Chappaquiddick scandal. It was at Chappaquiddick where Ted Kennedy, who was drunk, drove a young campaign worker off a bridge to her death, failed to take reasonable steps that might have saved her, and tried to cover up his culpability.

The notion of Hollywood going through with such a project struck me as implausible. It’s easy enough to make such a film without revealing the true degree of Kennedy’s evil behavior, and John’s post suggested that this is how the filmmakers would likely proceed. But how do you make the film without casting Kennedy is a bad light over an incident that most Americans have either forgotten or never knew anything about?

 

Chappaquiddick movie heads towards production

USA Today: Hillary’s pretty darn good campaign: Jill Lawrence

She’s making none of her 2008 mistakes and is soaring over Trump’s low-bar challenge.

“When it comes to running a campaign, Hillary Clinton doesn’t make the same mistake twice. Compared with Donald Trump’s operation, hers looks positively brilliant. It looks pretty good compared with her 2008 campaign, too.

Clinton and her team face their toughest test to date this week in how they manage the lingering tensions of her primary battle with Sen. Bernie Sanders at the Democratic convention. The job became much harder when WikiLeaks released a cache of Democratic National Committee emails suggesting the party was hostile to Sanders and was weighting the scales for Clinton. One official even raised the idea of questioning whether Sanders believes in God. 

Under mounting pressure to resign, party chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz said she would play a limited role in the convention and step down when it ends…..”  and there is more of such Democrat Party ‘truth-telling’ reporting at USA Today below:

http://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2016/07/24/hillary-campaign-2016-tim-kaine-dnc-convention-emails-column/87502076/

NOTE:   The human female animal, so clear here in Jill Lawrence’s ‘report’,  has never been noted for truth-telling…..It’s so tiresome male.   FEELINGS, they attest and perform,  ARE SO MUCH MORE AVAILABLE, REFRESHING, CREATIVE  THAN TRUTH FOR FEELING GOOD.  ONE CAN DREAM SO MANY MORE THINGS THAN REALITY…..FOR INSTANCE….ISN’T HILLARY a  WONDERFUL TRUTH TELLER?
