—President Donald J Trump: Our 21st Century Minuteman—
Joe Biden is on tape & video bragging about his blackmail of Ukraine’s President Poroshenko. And Biden has implicated Barack Obama!
This is a done deal; the corrupt, insane, dumb Biden has brought down the House of Jackass Cards! Yet, again, the corrupt Grandma Pelosi and her gang of Congressional misfits have been directed by Hillary and Obama to spring their “plan C” to again deceive the American people with this bogus “impeachment inquiry” to nullify Trump. But it’s all really to cover up the crimes of the Obama administration. The Biden/Obama blackmail of Ukraine’s President Poroshenko is one big DNC scandal the Democrats are trying to keep a lid on. Don’t let them!
President Trump’s telephone conversation with the new president of Ukraine does not in any way compromise Trump. The transcripts are there for the world to confirm the egregious conduct of the Democrats as well as their moral bankruptcy. The Democrats will not cease to fabricate tales to overthrow our duly elected President. Neither Obama nor Hillary will ever accept the win of the outsider Donald Trump.
Don’t forget George Soros in the background funding other enemies of the republic.
And the Ukraine government holds another key to the puzzle: The reason for the Russians $145,000,000 donation to the Clinton Foundation, following the Hillary/Obama sale (uranium one deal) of 20% of the US uranium deposits to Russia? The money was actually Putin’s purchase of access to, and favors from, the projected Hillary Clinton presidency. Bingo!
The seditious Hillary Clinton went to Moscow to ‘reset’ the button on US relations with Russia; of course, in favor of the Kremlin. Yes, she was there to bring good tidings to the Russians; she was there to seal the sale of American uranium to Moscow. She was to betray our country for a sum certain…$145,000,000!
And what about the $500,000 Bill Clinton received in Moscow from a group of Russian businessmen…for a speech…again after the Uranium One Deal?
We have to admire the fortitude, tenacity, courage, and patriotism of President Trump who has put country before anything else. President Donald Trump is nation’s 21st Century Minuteman!
Happy Shabbat to all. Do not despair; the God of Abraham is still on the watch.
Hundreds attend Alabama ‘Back to School Worship Service’ after it was targeted by atheists

In the wake of the shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio over the weekend, an Alabama high school held a back-to-school worship service in its gym “praying for God’s protective hand” over school children and the nation, despite being targeted by the Freedom From Religion Foundation, which accused the school board of violating the constitution.
“I do not believe we broke the law in having this event on the Fyffe High School campus,” DeKalb County Schools Superintendent Jason Barnett told Fox News.
Hundreds gathered at Fyffe High School in Dekalb County Sunday to pray for safety and protection as part of an annual “Back to School Worship Service” that has been held for the last five years or so. The FFRF called the event a clear violation of church and state.

FFRF said a “concerned DeKalb County Schools parent” reported the event was being organized and promoted by school faculty members and promoted on the school’s official Facebook page, which has since been taken down: “Please join us in praying for God’s protective hand to be over our schools, facilities, and students.”
But Barnett said the event was organized by community members not affiliated with the high school and approved by the school board, much like other events.

“To my knowledge, no administrators or faculty members were involved in the organization and planning of the event. I want to add that the board did not promote this event, but rather permitted an announcement of the event on the school Facebook page just as it permits others to provide information about community events,” Barnett noted. “The ‘us’ in the Facebook announcement refers to the organizers of the event, not the school or the school board.”
Because of the attention from the FFRF complaint, the small prayer gathering had over 350 community members in attendance, a sizable increase from previous years, according to the local news.
In addition to praying for the schoolchildren, pastors and faith leaders prayed for those involved in the weekend’s mass shootings.
“Its a scary world, that’s why we are praying for God’s protection over our schools,” Jon Mayes, Guest Baptist Church pastor and parent, told WAAY TV.
Barnett said the school district has taken steps in the past few years to maintain safety for its students and has made it a major focus.

We went to a baseball game this afternoon, nine from my family altogether. The Minnesota Twins played the Texas Rangers. It was Armed Forces Appreciation Day.
As we approached Target Field–considered by knowledgeable observers (i.e., me) the best baseball park in the major leagues–there were military vehicles, an Army information booth, military personnel explaining the equipment and excited children climbing over it. As we went through security to enter the stadium, Army paratroopers parachuted onto the field. It was an impressive sight, and between innings during the game they showed video footage shot by the paratroopers.
The National Anthem was performed nicely by a couple of guys who looked like bikers, while the flag was raised by one of the heroes who were immortalized in Jake Tapper’s great book, The Outpost.
Between innings the big screens showed Minnesota military personnel deployed overseas who greeted their families and urged on the Twins. They got a lot of applause.
During the 7th inning stretch, a vocal group performed “God Bless America,” which the crowd–including me, and I can’t sing a note–sang lustily. No hustling Kate Smith off in the middle of the night, here. That was followed by “God Bless the USA,” which many in the crowd knew the words of, also. And finally, of course, “Take Me Out to the Ball Game.”
It was a good game…
…that ended unhappily for Twins fans. My dominant impression, though, was of the unabashed patriotism of the near-sellout crowd. It renewed my confidence that the Democrats’ strategy of running against the USA will not end well for them.
Virginia Basketball Coach Tony Bennett’s Five Pillars to Live By is a Blueprint for Success
by Jim Daly at Daly Focus (Article sent by Mark Waldeland.)
. . . What was Coach Bennett’s reaction after the overtime win?
A strong Christian, the Wisconsin native was clear about his priorities, saying in a post-game interview, “I do want to thank the Lord and my Savior.”
Bennett’s faith has served as the foundation for his life since high school, when he was first introduced to Jesus at a Fellowship of Christian Athletes camp here in Colorado.
The championship coach credits pastor David Chadwick, a former basketball player with the University of North Carolina, with helping him nurture and grow his faith during his three seasons with the NBA’s Charlotte Hornets.
As he transitioned from playing to coaching, Bennett’s faith and focus was further refined.
“If my life is just about winning championships—if it’s just about being the best—then I’m running the wrong race,” he once said. “That’s empty. But if it’s about trying to be excellent and do things the right way, to honor the university that’s hired you, the athletic director you work for and the young men you’re coaching—always in the process trying to bring glory to God—then that’s the right thing.”
As a coach, Bennett regularly prays for his players, whether they’re Christians or not.
“How many people are mad at you when you tell them that you’ve prayed for them?” Bennett once asked a reporter.

For Peace in America, We Must Return to the Rule of Law
..
by Robert Vincent at American Thinker:
A recent article that appeared in the March 28 Wall Street Journal, “The Two Americas Have Grown Much Fiercer,” by Peggy Noonan, is part of an editorial trend of late decrying the divided state of America in these times. As is typical in these pieces, the author does not place the onus for our fractured state on one side or the other, but instead promotes a theme of “Can’t we all just get along?” From the point of view of the “Trumpian” camp, this writer is here to reply with a resounding “no,” at least not until the core issue that motivates the tens of millions of Americans who support our sitting president is addressed.
Those who try to explain America’s current divisions by citing polarization into “extreme” camps miss a major aspect of the Trump phenomenon: Trump really doesn’t represent an “extreme” political figure. The “extreme polarization” model might have more teeth if we had elected say, Ted Cruz, who is a doctrinaire conservative on every issue, but Trump really can’t be accused of that; this was a major factor in his appeal. Like Reagan, he too was once a Democrat. He has taken positions that are very much at odds with the stereotype of the “Daddy Warbucks” image of a rapacious, uncompromising tool of Big Money portrayed by the Left. For example, just this past week, he overruled his education secretary and insisted that the Special Olympics remain funded. Though there has been some tinkering at the margins, entitlements have not been slashed. Though generally supportive of gun rights, he banned bump stocks and is favorably disposed toward “Red Flag” laws that are staunchly opposed by gun rights advocates. His SCOTUS appointments, while decidedly conservative, are hardly extreme right-wing ideologues.
The Left has simply become evil. That is not to say all registered Democrats or Democrat politicians are necessarily evil, but the national-level leadership of the party and their primary backers represent a genuinely evil, oppressive, authoritarian, and — not coincidentally — anti-Semitic program (under the thin veneer of vicious, rabid anti-Zionism). They either represent this mindset outright (e.g., vice DNC chairman Keith Ellison, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, etc.) or are unwilling to summon the elemental courage to oppose these trends effectively in their own party (e.g., Pelosi, Schumer). What is more, almost uniformly among their leaders — to include the likes of Pelosi and Schumer — they will stoop to any level of dishonesty and corruption in order to obtain or maintain power (e.g., the Stalinesque Kavanaugh “show trial” hearings, the vote fraud spectacles we saw in Florida and California this past midterm election, advocating for illegal aliens to vote, advocating lowering the voting age to 16, etc.). Most egregiously, there is the outrageous Mueller affair — along with the associated scandals of the previous administration (weaponizing the NSA for partisan political purposes, and so on), that even barnyard animals can see was an outright fraudulent and illegal attempt at reversing the result of a presidential election, and distracting from the very real crimes committed by the Obama administration and the Hillary campaign.
There is indeed some talk on the street about a shooting civil war. Whether or not it comes to that, we are clearly more divided as a country than we have ever been since the last shooting civil war. But really, whose fault is that? Has Donald Trump divided us?
Five years ago, Trump was seen as nothing more than a flamboyant, perhaps slightly eccentric real estate mogul and show biz personality. His audience for television programs like The Apprentice crossed all political lines. All the Hollywood types who trash him today were perfectly happy to party with him and to hang out with him (as long as he was buying). Today, he has been built up into a monster by the Left and its media allies. The present “rage” against him is 100% manufactured and could serve as a case study in mass brainwashing techniques.
Consider not only the Mueller debacle, but the recent spectacle of the Jussie Smollett case. These examples illustrate what we “Trumpians” are really so fighting mad about. It isn’t so much abortion, or gun control, or any of the other traditional conservative rallying points; it is the rule of law, the very foundation of what America was supposed to stand for. We are perfectly willing to peaceably debate the merits of all of these other issues in the public domain (assuming that there is a viable “public domain” in the form of an honest mass media, but that is another issue). We have already demonstrated during the previous administration that if we cannot have our way within the parameters of the ballot box, we will accept our losses and simply try to convince more voters to see things our way at the next opportunity. What we cannot and will not abide is an opposing side within our national community who insists on simply ignoring the rules, corrupting our national institutions, and trying to impose new “rules” designed to ensure that only its leaders and its agenda will ever prevail going forward.
Obviously, we have never perfectly lived up to our ideals as a nation; this would be humanly impossible. There has always been some corruption and malfeasance on both sides of the aisle. But in ten years, we went from being America to being “Obamistan”: a high-tech, relatively affluent version of a two-bit banana republic. There has never been an American president who flagrantly abused his power and flouted the rule of law to anywhere near the extent that we have seen with Obama. There has never been a president who, once having left office, devoted all of his energies to blatantly undermining his successor. These facts, combined with the manner in which those who support him have absolutely refused to see his abuses for what they are, and a Democratic Party leadership who seems determined not only to sweep his crimes under the rug, but even worse, to continue with his style of governance, is what has The Rest of Us so damned angry.
It remains to be seen if our internal divisions will explode into mass violence, but the likelihood of that will be determined by the extent to which the rule of law is re-established in this country. For if we don’t have recourse at the ballot box (our elections are stolen by the likes of Brenda Snipes, “ballot-harvesting”, etc.), and there is a wildly uneven application of the law (in the course of a now discredited investigation, Roger Stone is arrested with more firepower on hand than was used to take down Osama bin Laden, while the likes of Comey, Hillary, Obama, Brennan, Lynch walk free), then many Americans will conclude that there is nothing left to defend our rights besides force of arms.
Donald Trump is my favorite American leader of my life time. I was born in 1934 and have followed very closely all American Presidential elections since 1944, Roosevelt versus Dewey.
Our country is in serious, serious trouble today, and has been since the late 1960s when a third of our juvenile college populations had turned to LSD and such for their god of entertainment. And then came the feminist-feminazi revolutions at universities from coast to coast.
The human female animal is not a human male by Nature and Nature’s God…neither a century ago, ten years ago, or today. They are not born killers as I and other human male animals have been genetically driven to be for the past million years of our animal-human development. She is born ditsy, instead. Not that she is not gifted with great intelligence and abilities…..especially her God’s gift of bearing the off spring of the species. SHE IS NOT BORN DRIVEN TO BE A PROBLEM SOLVER. Not that she doesn’t possess abilities to solve problem……BUT SHE IS NOT A MALE HUMAN ANIMAL.
She is NOT born curious. She is born with other important attributes of the human female being in caring for her offspring. Yet, most Mothers bearing children these days don’t Mother their children as Mothers used to Mother, as they did in my early days of life. They go back to work in no time….except within our more JudeoChristian believing communities.
Within the first three years of human life, the typical human male child is already snooping around, searching, testing, touching, tasting, eyeing the environment around him, not by choice, but by drive…..a God-given drive, if you please! Both my boys learned very quickly how to speed crawl and open the storage doors below our kitchen sink. My daughter would pick and choose things to chew and touch, but was such a relief to her parents when she limited her geography to her own room.
I have never met Donald J. Trump personally. Being an alert American whose first career was to teach Social Studies in our American schools, I began to follow his New York life when he became a name in his New York City building company….starting somewhere around forty years ago.
I occasionally found him on television from New York quite similar to some viewings in the above collection…and he caught my attention….his arrogance, he carriage and confidence, his certainty of thought and clarity of speech, I believe, gathered my interest and curiosity. I was not in a mood to like him for I hadn’t known people who carried on like he did on television from time to time….not here in Minnesota then when adults were still civil and knowledgeable, were Christian and Churched, were neighbors and friendly, and were parents with children and no one swore a bad word in school, on playgrounds, or in neighborhoods….and no one had any noticeable money until 1950……and girls were girls and boys were boys!
In Horace Mann Grade School where I attended, from 1939 to 1952 very well educated older single women ran the classes until the War ended.
Within the first three years of human life, the typical human male child is already snooping around, searching, testing, touching, tasting, eyeing the environment around him, not by choice, but by drive…..a God-given drive, if you please!
I was aware his first wife, Ivana, was a very important figure in Donald’s business….and years later was surprised to read in the papers Donald had caused his wife to divorce him. He had gone Hollywood TV and then I lost interest in Mr. Trump…until 2016.
Weren’t their 17 candidates in the early running for the Presidential contest that year? I never liked any of the candidates except for the ex-Governor of Arkansas…..until that Monday when Megyn Kelly so rudely threw candidate Donald Trump a series of GOP attacks about how Donald has ‘misbehaved’ with women, and asked GOPly, “Is that the way you treat all women?……with the GOP camera directed right on our Trump for the blow out punch…..and Our Donald answered in a second….”No! Only Rosie O’Donnell.”
About half of the Republicans in the audience, nearly all Trump hater GOPers, exploded with laughter…and so, in agreement. I suddenly found my man for our America’s next President….(I much later learned while listening to Dennis Prager interviewing David Horowitz during is radio show, that my conservative hero Horowitz confessed that is when HE discovered HIS candidate to beat Crooked Hillary that coming November.
Yet, being a former high school teacher of “Modern Problems”, I decided to search the internet for more info about Donald J. Trump….to get to know him better. I learned his older brother, and very close brother to Donald, had killed himself from alcoholism.
Late that July the Washington Post had smeared Donald big time using his exwife, Ivana’s divorce court words against Donald as a weapon to bury him as a contender in the coming Presidential election that November.
Ivana had written a letter to the editor at the leftist Washington Post Trump hater crowd, confessing that much of her anger at that time at court had come from the shock of the cause for the divorce and then listed a series of laudable descriptions of the Presidential candidate as a father and their good times in business together.
I knew he was very bright. I knew he truly loves his America and like myself felt our country was falling apart in countless ugly directions….and the suave, clever, somewhat racist anti-American Barack Hussein Obama had added so much to our cultural, moral, and financial decline. And then there was Crooked Hillary to deal with if our USA was ever going to recover from the cultural, intellectual, and educational decays of its past half century.
President Donald J. Trump has made me confident, very confident he is the only person as President who can get our American republic back on a God-fearing, prosperous, civilized, religious, economic, and socially sound World-leader-Nation once again….for peace and prosperity for all! and who will BUILD THAT WALL!
Prager U: In a new video, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Charles Krauthammer explains why building the wall is the answer to illegal immigration.
Can America solve its illegal immigration problem both justly and humanely? Yes, but it requires first building a border wall. Washington Post columnist and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Charles Krauthammer explains why.
“The wall/fence will, of course, be ugly,” Krauthammer said. “So are the barriers to keep truck bombs from driving into the White House. Something function has to supersede form.”
“Don’t tell me that this is our Berlin Wall. When you build a wall to keep people in, that’s a prison. When you build a wall to keep people out, that’s an expression of sovereignty,” Krauthammer explained.
In a must-read essay at RealClearPolitics.com, Adele Malpass explains how President Trump is “transforming” the midterms through an unprecedented flurry of campaign rallies in support of his party’s legislative candidates. What’s remarkable to me is that so few journalists understand her points and need to have it laid out for them:
One of the new dynamics in this midterm election is President Trump reprising the rallies that helped fuel his victory in 2016. While it’s common for presidents to campaign during midterms, arena-size crowds at rallies all over the country is a new phenomenon, and these events have proven to be a powerful way to communicate with, and excite, base voters.
This is hardly new, as anyone with a memory able to capture and retain what happened two years ago should know.
In 2016, Trump had the ability to fill arenas in multiple states on the same day, but some in the media played down the importance of rallies even after he won the election. In response, White House aide Kellyanne Conway said in a post-election analysis: “The size of rallies matters.” Recently, the president echoed that point in a tweet:
There are many benefits to these rallies, including offering the president an opportunity to respond to his critics and test out his base’s reaction to talking points he spontaneously offers.
Only at the very end of her article does Malpass mention what is to me the most potent benefit:
And each person who attends a rally is potentially a force multiplier as they recount the experience to their friends and relatives either directly or through social media. It’s hard to measure this impact until votes are counted, but the size of the rallies is an indication of something potentially powerful afoot in the 2018 election dynamics.
Let me state this bluntly. The rallies are designed to produce a corps of evangelists, people who will bend the ears of everyone they know about the wonderfulness of Trump and the evil of his critics. Nearly all of the people motivated to ask for tickets and then stand in line for hours, and maybe not get in but wait outside watching the rally on big-screen TVs in the company of other Trump fans, were already going to support Trump. The experience of sharing their convictions with a vast crowd of thousands of people just like them produces a form of euphoria that develops in like-minded crowds.
That euphoria translates into efforts to persuade family members to get out and vote, often as not filling out advance ballots and mailing them in. This is why early voting by Republican-registered voters is breaking records. Ten thousand attendees at a rally can translate into fifty thousand or more votes stirred by the evangelists.
Media people are professionally inclined to dismiss the importance of rallies precisely because they are invested in the notion that media are the principal drivers of voting behavior. The idea that face-to-face conversations could drive more votes than airtime or print space that they produce is anathema.
The models used by pollsters have absolutely no way to accommodate the effects of rally evangelists. But people who don’t ordinarily vote, or who choose candidates based on hair, appearance, or other silly factors – casual voters, in other words – are far more influenced by what friends and relatives say and believe than they are by what strangers in the media say or write.
Watch where Trump speaks. We learned from the 2016 election that rallies are very strategically planned for places where evangelists will have the greatest probability of success.
I expect Republicans to overperform in this election, at least compared to media expectations.
