A VETERANS DAY PRAYER
Lord who grants salvation to kings and dominion to rulers, whose kingdom is a kingdom spanning all eternities... Who places a road in the sea and a path in the mighty waters – may you bless protect the military of these United States of America, may they complete their mission quickly, and return home safely. May you give strength to the doctor’s treating the wounded, and provide comfort to those who have lost loved ones. May the President, the Vice President, and all the constituted officers of government of this land make the correct decisions to protect our heroes lives and bring them home in victory. May our elected officials execute their responsibilities with intelligence, honor and compassion. And may these United States continue to be the land of the free and the home of the brave. Thank You Veterans for Your Service to America. If it weren’t for you brave men and women, the United States would no longer be free. http://lidblog.com/a-veterans-day-prayer-4/?utm_source=The+Lid+List&utm_campaign=df87975c8b-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_597b72c01c-df87975c8b-291705165.
HILLY’S COSTLY BASE BUILDING
Hilly Clinton’s base-building moves may assure her the nomination, but they also hold serious consequences in the general election. Seeking to shore up support from the Black Lives Matter movement, Clinton met with the families of black Americans killed in controversial shootings over the past year. The group has booed her rivals’ political rallies, but reaching out to this group could help her bring the anti-police protest group into the party fold. But playing to hard-left ideological factions will do damage to Clinton when she’s forced to move back to the center in the general contest. President nObama’s symphony of base voters will not sound so sweet with Clinton conducting. - Fox News

On Benghazi, Hilly had 2 stories: 1 for Libyans, 1 for Americans WashEx: “An email released by the House Select Committee on Benghazi Saturday suggests Hilly Clinton’s State Department was advised to tell two different stories about what sparked the 2012 Benghazi terror attack: one to the U.S., and another in Libya. ‘[O]ur view at Embassy Tripoli is that we must be cautious in our local messaging with regard to the inflammatory film trailer, adapting it to Libyan conditions,’ wrote an embassy official whose name was redacted from the Sept. 14, 2012 email. ‘[I]t is becoming increasingly clear that the series of events in Benghazi was much more terrorist attack than a protest which escalated into violence,’[the official wrote]…In one email sent less than three hours after she learned of the attack, Clinton told the Libyan prime minister that Ansar al-Sharia had claimed responsibility for the violence…[In a press statement] [o]n the night of the terror attack, Clinton ascribed the violence to ‘inflammatory material posted on the Internet.’” - Fox News

IT’S ELECTION DAY WaPo breaks down the eight states that promise some political drama for those who can’t wait until next year, including the Kentucky gubernatorial race and Ohio’s ballot-initiative to legalize marijuana.
[Not wanting to be all hat and no cattle, freshman Sen. Ben Sasse, R-N.E., did not speak on the Senate floor, not even one time, since his election. His dues having been paid, Sasse will today, the one-year anniversary of his election, take the floor for the first time.

NEW YORK COULD USE A FEW AP: “A Cabinet minister has drawn outrage and mockery after suggesting transferring the thousands of stray cats that walk the streets of Israel to another country. The Yediot daily published what it said was a letter by Agriculture Minister Uri Ariel proposing the idea. It said he cited Jewish law against animal cruelty as reason not to neuter cats and a biblical commandment to populate the earth…Opposition legislator Tzipi Livni posted a picture on her Facebook page of her playing with a black and white cat. ‘No way will I get a foreign passport for little one,’ she wrote. Israeli animal rights activists condemned the minister. Thousands of stray cats roam Israel's streets.”

EPA Dictates, nObama’s Federal Land Grab, The Constitution Says...
{rickwells.us} ~ The United States Constitution was written in plain, easy to understand, everyday English. That may be part of why it is so difficult for some of our leaders and today’s “wise men” to comprehend; they try to make it more complicated than it is... There is also an unmistakable tendency to disregard portions that are too straightforward for their overly-programmed and distorted minds to comprehend or which don’t agree with their “modern and sophisticated” interpretations. In reading through the Constitution this morning, as I do from time to time when confronted with the absurdities of the compost pile that now passes for our government, one particular passage happened to catch my attention. It’s one that I’ve read before but, in what may have been my own subconscious submission to the indoctrinated “great thinking” model of today’s Washington “leadership,” it never struck me in the manner it did today. In Article IV, Section 3, it states... http://rickwells.us/archives/21730.
Hilly Has nObama’s Back – “So Pres Don’t Have To Declare...
{rickwells.us} ~ Hilly Clinton actually announced her actions to help Hussein nObama avoid paying for his crimes against America... Since it was an honest comment which addressed the criminality of the executive branch, we can be certain it was an accidental revelation. As her long career of parasitically feeding off of the American people has demonstrated, she never admits to anything that doesn’t involve the use of a crow bar or the “jaws of life” in the extraction process. She and Hussein nObama are covering for each other, and if she’s elected, we can be certain the offer of a standing pardon has already been tendered. http://rickwells.us/archives/21748.
Iran Responsible for Killing 14 Percent of U.S. Troops in Iraq
{Adam Kredo} ~ Nearly 200 U.S. troops have been killed and nearly 1,000 injured by Iranian-made explosives in Iraq, according to new disclosures from a partially declassified report conducted by U.S. Central Command and described by sources to the Washington Free Beacon... The number of U.S. deaths resulting from Iranian terrorism were revealed for the first time on Wednesday by Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) during a hearing focusing on the nObama administration’s failure to prosecute terrorists directly responsible for the deaths of Americans. At least 196 U.S. service members fighting in Iraq were killed directly as a result of Iranian-made explosively formed penetrators, or EFPs, according to Cruz and congressional sources familiar with Centcom’s mostly classified report. The deaths took place between 2003 and 2011. The Iranian explosive devices wounded another 861 U.S. soldiers, and a total of 1,534 attacks were carried out on U.S. military members over this period, according to sources familiar with the report, which was provided to Cruz’s office..
Russia Test-Fires Series of Nuclear Missiles During Strategic Drills
{Bill Gertz} ~ Russian nuclear forces conducted a large-scale exercise last week that included test firings of several long-range missiles along with dual-capable shorter range ballistic and cruise missiles, according to U.S. officials... The U.S. Strategic Command, meanwhile, is conducting a similar nuclear command and control exercise, but without firing any nuclear missiles. The Russian exercise was closely monitored by U.S. intelligence agencies and was conducted in greater secrecy than past nuclear war games have been, according to officials and military analysts. http://freebeacon.com/national-security/russia-test-fires-series-of-nuclear-missiles-during-strategic-drills/.
Iran: U.S. Must Pay Reparations to Islamic Republic
{Adam Kredo} ~ An Iranian military leader is demanding that the United States pay Tehran reparations for the deaths of more than 250,000 Iranians at the hands of U.S. affiliates, according to regional reports... Mohammad Reza Naqdi, a brigadier general in Iran’s volunteer Basij Force, said on Thursday that the nObama administration “should pay ransom” for its supposed role in killing Iranians during the 1979 Islamic Revolution that brought hardline extremists into power. The demand for a ransom comes just a day after Iranians across the country took to the streets to rally against America and Israel. They burned U.S. flags and chanted, “Death to America.” It was disclosed on Wednesday that Iran has been found to be directly responsible for the deaths of nearly 200 U.S. troops in Iraq and the wounding of nearly 1,000 others. The nObama administration has been hesitant to prosecute Iran under U.S. terrorism laws for these killings..
Hilly's name won't appear on any ballot
{Judge Andrew Napolitano} ~ The self-inflicted wounds of Hilly Rodham Clinton just keep manifesting themselves. She has two serious issues that have arisen in the past week; one is political and the other is legal. Both have deception at their root... Her political problem is one of credibility. We know from her emails that she informed her daughter Chelsea and the then-prime minister of Egypt within 12 hours of the murder of the U.S. ambassador to Libya, J. Christopher Stevens, that he had been killed in Benghazi by al-Qaida. We know from the public record that the nObama administration’s narrative blamed the killings of the ambassador and his guards on an anonymous crowd’s spontaneous reaction to an anti-Muhammad video. Over this past weekend we learned that her own embassy staff in Tripoli told her senior staff in Washington the day after the killings that the video was not an issue, and very few Libyans had seen it. We also know from her emails that the CIA informed her within 24 hours of the ambassador’s murder that it had been planned by al-Qaida 12 days before the actual killings. http://www.wnd.com/2015/11/hillarys-name-wont-appear-on-any-ballot/

Taxpayer bill to resettle 35,000 Mideast refugees: $2.3 billion
{LEO HOHMANN} ~ It costs U.S. taxpayers nearly $65,000 to resettle one Middle Eastern refugee over the first five years, which is 12 times what it would cost to care for that same refugee in a neighboring country in the region, according to a new study... The Center for Immigration Studies cites “heavy welfare use” as the main reason why refugees are so costly to resettle. This flies in the face of oft-quoted comments by U.S. mayors who claim refugees add to their tax base and promote economic growth, making for a more “culturally diverse” and “economically resilient” city. The CIS study indicates they are more of a drain on the economy than a boost. http://www.wnd.com/2015/11/taxpayer-bill-to-resettle-35000-mideast-refugees-2-3-billion/.
City Elects First Muslim Majority City Council
{rickwells.us} ~ Hamtramck, Michigan, has become the first city in the nation to elect a Muslim majority city council, adding two new members to the two of six reelected to positions they already held... The black reporter in the video describes how now the “diversity” is going to be reflected, confusing or perhaps not understanding the definition of the word. To him it may be a synonym for not white, but with a 66% majority Muslim representation, the results of the election are less diversity, if anything, no more. Jamal Alturki, the “average citizen voter” interviewed also made that mistake as he described his pride in what was achieved for “their” city, considering it a big victory for their “diversity.” Maybe it means takeover? Anam Miah, who was reelected to another term, described it as sending a message not only to Hamtramck but throughout the region that people want “their” representation in offices. Translation: They want Muslim government, and maybe Sharia Law. There’s nothing racist in that statement though, Islam’s not a race when they talk that way, only when non-Muslims have a problem with the invasion. The reporter then makes that same ignorant claim, that non-white means more diversity “at the table.” He closes by endorsing the sentiment he observed in the community, probably among Muslims, with a statement of the pride they felt. http://rickwells.us/archives/21761.
nObama just signed ANOTHER Executive ‘Edict’
{Allen B. West} ~ We live in a constitutional republic. At least that’s what we’re intended to have, but if we’re not careful it will morph into a constitutional monarchy... In a constitutional republic, the rule of law is preeminent, along with individual sovereignty and the government operates with the consent of the governed. In a constitutional monarchy, the people are ruled by edict emanating from the executive, who casts himself above the rule of law. And this is where we have devolved in these nObama years: rule by executive order, memoranda, and bureaucratic fiat — we are not being governed. And just like the recent EPA regulations on energy based on climate change assertions, we have another nObama edict with which we must contend. As reported by Fox News, “President nObama on Monday announced a new executive order that prevents federal agencies from making job-applicants reveal they have a criminal record as part of his overall criminal justice reform effort. http://allenwestrepublic.com/2015/11/04/obama-just-signed-another-executive-edict/.
"We Did What We Learned: Attacking Christians"
{Raymond Ibrahim} ~ Throughout the month of August, the nObama administration and the so-called mainstream media kept insisting that Islam does not promote the persecution of Christians... all the while ignoring the direct testimonies of those who have undergone it. According to Chaldean Archbishop Bashar Warda, All the statements [by U.S. government and media] have not condemned strongly what damage it [persecution of Christians] is doing. What they are saying is just "This is not the true Islam. This is violating the picture of Islam." The issue for them is the image of Islam, but none of these statements speak about the victims, about what has been done to the victims, they are not even mentioned. And that is one of the questions our people have. [Author's emphasis]. Warda added that persecuted Christians are "being denied visas, while others who have participated [in the violence] or at least were silent, can go." Father Douglas al-Bazi, an Iraqi Catholic parish priest from Erbil, who still carries the torture scars he received nine years earlier at the hands of jihadis, denounced the Western refusal to accept reality about Islam:.

The assignment, which you can see below, asked students to label statements as either facts, opinions or commonplace assertions. Wooley wrote that the statement "There is a G0D" was both a fact and opinion for some, but her teacher didn’t agree — telling Wooley that both her answers were wrong and that she had to admit that G0D wasn’t real.

“That a kid was literally graded against her faith in G0D in a classroom, so who would want to be known," Chantel said, according to KHOU. "So the kids were caught in a Catch-22. If they argued their faith, they were being told they were arguing against their faith, and that happened in the classroom."

“My friend, she went home and she started crying.

And my teacher crossed the answer out several times, telling her that it was completely wrong.

But the West Memorial Junior High faculty released a statement — which has been deleted from the Katy Independent School District's website — that said this assignment wasn’t meant to create conflict over religious beliefs. In fact, the worksheet was meant to encourage critical thinking among students, according to the statement..
“The activity, which was intended to encourage critical thinking skills and dialogue by engaging students in an exercise wherein they identified statements as fact, opinion, or common assertion was not intended to question or challenge any student’s religious beliefs as reported by some media outlets,” the statement read.
