 Both Candidates Attack Gold Star Families

Two presidential candidates. Two incredibly stupid things said about Gold Star military families. So let's compare.
          At the Democrat Convention, Khizr Khan, the father of a soldier killed in Iraq, gave a speech in which he directed this to Donald Trump: "You have sacrificed nothing and no one." Khan also asserted that Trump wouldn't have even let his son into the country. Khan is a Muslim, and his wife stood behind him wearing a head covering. That's where Trump first focused his attention, responding, "He was very emotional and probably looked like a nice guy to me. His wife, if you look at his wife, she was standing there. She had nothing to say, she probably — maybe she wasn't allowed to have anything to say." Trump then launched into some talking points about terrorism. Challenged on the sacrifice question, Trump first asked, "Did liar-Hillary's scriptwriters write it?" Then he pointed to the sacrifices he's made like ... creating jobs and working for a Vietnam memorial. Ok then. In another venue, Trump insisted that Khan had "no right to stand in front of millions of people and claim I have never read the Constitution."
          "Here's a handy rule of life," says Iraq veteran David French. "Always honor Gold Star families. Always." Indeed, if Trump wants to be the commander in chief, he's going to have to do better than attacking Gold Star families, policy disagreements notwithstanding. Given his history of declaring that the military will obey him even on illegal orders, he has a long way to go. But that's what you get from a man who speaks just about everything that pops into his head, with little or no filter.
 That's bad, but liar-Hillary Clinton's calculated lies are far worse. Pat Smith, the mother of Benghazi KIA Sean Smith, spoke at the Republican convention, and again reminded the country that liar-Clinton lied to her face about the cause of the attack. Addressing the families in 2012, liar-Clinton said, "We've seen the heavy assault on our post in Benghazi that took the lives of those brave men. We've seen rage and violence directed at American embassies over an awful internet video that we had nothing to do with."
          liar-Clinton lied and has been lying about her lies ever since, all while accusing Smith of lying. Over the weekend, she responded to Smith's RNC speech, saying, "I don't hold any ill feeling for someone who in that moment may not fully recall everything that was or wasn't said." Just because liar-Clinton is an expert in reiterating, "I don't recall," doesn't mean Pat Smith or the other family members of the slain don't remember what liar-Clinton told them.
          Worse than the lies are the deaths — liar-Clinton is responsible for the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi. And worse still is the fact that the nObama/liar-Clinton foreign policy team is to blame for hundreds of thousands of deaths and general chaos in the Middle East.
          Trump says dumb things with regularity, while liar-Clinton is cold, deceitful, and based on her own record is utterly disqualified from serving as commander in chief. Welcome to the 2016 election.  -The Patriot Post

 A Tale of Two Ships 
FjZlbbYRioGyz-d4Usgh-h5rLsd7DymG_sm3QSKGhdmHMPpVsqHmAo0mXoZt8KHOWdl6Y_DXTZ__4n664kvgi0DUL9v1pCklAys701yDMGNWoBz9LLoR7dTRFfHv0A=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=
The Navy has a long history of honoring great Americans by naming ships after them. Recently the Navy endowed this honor on retired Marine Col. Harvey Barnum, a Medal of Honor recipient. Barnum was one of only two MoH recipients to be denied a ceremony at the White House because of all the negativity surrounding the Vietnam War at the time. It's fitting that the USS Harvey C. Barnum Jr. be named in his honor, especially recognizing his acts of valor in serving our nation in the field of battle.
          Conversely, Navy Secretary Ray Mabus, continuing the nObama administration's homosexual constituency appeasement, announced another ship naming that is disgraceful. A John-Lewis class oiler will be named for Harvey Milk, a Korean War Navy vet and homosexual activist. Milk was murdered in 1978 in San Francisco, and became a martyr for the homosexual movement. In 2009, Barack nObama posthumously bestowed upon Milk the highest civilian award — the Presidential Medal of Freedom — and in 2014, had the USPS issue a postage stamp his honor. What nObama did not mention at either ceremony is that Milk was a predatory pedophile, and his relationship with young boys was documented by his homosexual biographer and close friend Randy Shilts, who died of AIDS in 1994.
          Two ships. One named in honor a genuine heroic Patriot, and the other to honor a homosexual's activism. nObama, liar-Hillary Clinton and their leftist cadres — none of whom have ever spent a day serving our country with honor, or in uniform — keep leaving their putrid stench wherever it will create the greatest offense.  -The Patriot Post

Turkey Sets Ultimatum for EU Migrant Deal
by Soeren Kern
1607.jpg
{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ Turkey has threatened to back out of an agreement to stem the flow of migrants to the European Union if Turkish nationals are not granted visa-free travel to the bloc by October... Although Turkish officials have repeatedly threatened to renege on the March 18 EU-Turkey deal, this is the first time they have set a deadline. If the EU approves the visa waiver, tens of millions of Turks will gain immediate and unimpeded access to 26 European countries. If the EU rejects the visa waiver, and Turkey retaliates by reopening the migration floodgates, potentially millions of migrants from Africa, Asia and the Middle East could begin flowing into Greece this fall. Europe is trapped in a no-win situation...  https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/8613/turkey-eu-migrant-deal

Destructive forest fires are due to – WHAT?
by Paul Driessen
maxresdefault-868x488.jpg
{aim.org} ~ First the nObama EPA came for coal mines, coal-fired power plants, miners, workers, investors, and all who depend on reliable, affordable electricity... Then the EPA, Bureau of Land Management, Forest Service and other agencies came after oil and gas drilling and fracking, and the workers, industries and families that need petroleum. They’re also targeting farming, ranching, airlines and manufacturing. It’s all to stop “dangerous manmade climate change,” rising seas, warmer and colder weather, wetter and drier seasons, and other “unprecedented” calamities. Now the Feds want us to believe worsening forest fires threaten communities, wildlife and wildlife habitats because we burn fossil-fuels. Thousands of fires have already torched millions of acres, amid yet another dangerous and costly fire season. It happens every year, and has for centuries. But now, the Department of the Interior misinforms us, “climate change is making it worse. Wildfire seasons are now hotter, drier and longer than in the past.” Sure they are.

{familysecuritymatters.org} ~ Let's now turn to the deliberate manipulation or obfuscation or suppression of official reporting on crimes committed by "migrants" (aka Muslims) in the U.S. and in Europe... such as the recent rape of a 5-year-old girl in Idaho by "underage" Muslim boys in Idaho. Davis Odell, a community resident who has been in close contact with the victim's family said the boys dragged the unnamed girl into a utility room in the Fawnbrook Apartments, a low-income, subsidized housing complex in Twin Falls, and assaulted her in an attack that ended when a neighbor happened upon the scene and called police....Twin Falls Police Chief Craig Kingsbury told reporters the suspects are Iraqi and Sudanese. County Prosecutor Grant Loebs said he does not know how long they have been living in the United States...  http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/we-dont-want-you-to-know?f=must_reads

Chairman Royce on Reports That nObama Secretly
Sent $400M to Iran: ‘It Keeps Getting Worse’

{familysecuritymatters.org} ~ Republicans lashed out Tuesday at the nObama administration over a news report claiming it airlifted $400 million in foreign currency to Tehran on the same day the regime released five imprisoned Americans... On that day in January, the U.S. agreed to settle a 37-year-old Iranian legal claim worth $400 million, plus an additional $1.3 billion in interest. The two developments also coincided with the "implementation day" for the nuclear deal struck between Tehran, the U.S. and five other nations. The administration has long denied that the $1.7 billion settlement was related to the prisoner releases, or that it amounted to a "ransom." The Wall Street Journal reported that the cash, in European and other currencies, was secretly flown to Iran on wooden pallets in an unmarked cargo plane, and that it was a first instalment of the agreed-upon $1.7 billion payout...

No, the Constitution Does Not Bar
‘Religious Tests’ in Immigration Law

{familysecuritymatters.org} ~ Of all the ignorant pronouncements in the 2016 presidential campaign, the dumbest may be that the Constitution forbids a "religious test" in the vetting of immigrants... Monotonously repeated in political speeches and talking-head blather, this claim is heedless of the Islamic doctrinal roots on which foreign-born Islamists and the jihadists they breed base their anti-Americanism. It is also dead wrong. The clause said to be the source of this drivel is found in Article VI. As you'll no doubt be shocked to learn, it has utterly nothing to do with immigration. The clause states, "no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States" On its face, the provision is not only inapplicable to immigrants at large, let alone aliens who would like to be immigrants; it does not even apply to the general public. It is strictly limited to public officials - specifically to their fitness to serve in government positions...

This Report Shows Why We’re
Vulnerable to ISIS
by COUNTER JIHAD
{familysecuritymatters.org} ~ The Center for National Security at Fordham Law has an annual report on cases involving the Islamic State (ISIS) that have appeared in US Federal court... As of 2016, 101 such cases have been recorded. That is a small number from which to draw statistical lessons, but it is comprehensive of the cases brought to trial. Most of these cases - each individual involved is considered a separate "case" by the study - are still pending before the courts.  However, of the 45% of cases that have resulted in conviction, the average sentence is only 9 years. This is in part because most of the defendants have no criminal history. The fact that they have no criminal history before attempting to take up arms for the caliphate is a major reason why a free and open society like the United States is so vulnerable to these attackers...  http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/this-report-shows-why-were-vulnerable-to-isis?f=must_reads

liar-Hillary Armed Terrorists and made
Money from ISIS Supporters
by Onan Coca
187w83-1.jpg
{lidblog.com} ~ On Monday, WikiLeaks, published a remarkable tweet that the rest of the mainstream media seems to be ignoring... In response to a recently published article in the Canary online detailing a new partnership between the city of Paris and a controversial French industrial giant accused of secretly sponsoring ISIS, the folks at WikiLeaks cryptically tweeted that liar-Hillary Clinton made quite a bit of money off of ISIS and their friends! Yes, you read that right. The French company LaFarge is currently embroiled in controversy after recent discoveries led to accusations that they have been secretly supporting ISIS in an effort to continue their business in Syria and Iraq untroubled. liar-Hillary Clinton was once a LaFarge board member, and, according to documents uncovered by WikiLeaks, she is partly to blame for the company’s decision to burn toxic waste instead of natural gas in an effort to fuel their MidEast cement kilns. Needless to say, while this was a profitable move it was a highly immoral and unethical one as well...

liar-Hillary Says Americans Will Have to
Change Their Personal and Religious Beliefs
by  S. Noble
15597723400_aa7befc853_b-2.jpg
{independentsentinel.com} ~  liar-Hillary Clinton said that Americans will have to change their religious convictions and cultural codes so they can pass laws. Convictions and belief systems of citizens should not stand in her way... Cultural codes and religious beliefs have to change, liar-Hillary said. She said the same thing in April of last year at the sixth annual Women in the World Summit. Instead of worrying about Fascism by Trump, people might want to look to the real and substantiated Fascism of Mrs. liar-Clinton. Americans have to change their beliefs because she says so? She will tell us what to think? She was mostly referring to abortion but she can extend that to anything. She’s now the thought police. In addition, Tim Kaine who claims to be personally against abortion, agreed to repeal the Hyde Amendment in exchange for the VP position... What losers.  http://www.independentsentinel.com/hillary-says-americans-will-have-to-change-their-personal-and-religious-beliefs/

Conservatives Push Leadership to Deny nObama
His Last Lame-Duck Session
by Philip Wegmann
6704484021_4a6da657af_b-1.jpg
{dailysignal.com} ~ While lawmakers are away from Capitol Hill on August recess, the two largest conservative caucuses in Congress are working to keep a lame-duck spending bill from getting off the ground after the elections... Before Congress recessed, the Freedom Caucus and Republican Study Committee gathered enough signatures to force GOP leadership into scheduling a conference to discuss the party’s plan for funding the federal government, The Daily Signal has learned. That moves coincides with a shift in conservative strategy on government funding. Conservatives aren’t trying to reduce spending anymore this year. They’re trying to buy time...  http://http://dailysignal.com/2016/08/02/conservatives-push-leadership-to-deny-obama-his-last-lame-duck-session//2016/08/02/conservatives-push-leadership-to-deny-obama-his-last-lame-duck-session/

The Pope and Holy War
by Denis MacEoin
1746.jpg
{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ On the morning of July 26, a priest serving mass, an elderly man of 85, Father Jacques Hamel, was butchered before his altar by one of two knife-wielding devotees of the Islamic State... His killer slit his throat and might very well have proceeded to behead him, as is the wont of many jihadi executioners. The followers of a faith that honours murderers as martyrs (shuhada') created a martyr for quite another faith. In both Greek and Arabic, the terms "martyr" and shahid mean exactly the same thing: "a witness". Father Hamel was the latest in a long line of Christian martyrs who have been slain by men of violence, supposedly in order to attest to the sole truth of their faith. Many Muslim martyrs have died in much that way, but even more have given their lives while waging war (jihad) to conquer territories for Islam. The flag of the Islamic State reads "la ilaha illa'llah, Muhammadun rasulu'llah". The words mean: "There is no God but God; Muhammad is the prophet of God". Those two phrases are known as the shahada, the bearing of witness. You see it everywhere today, now in Syria, then again in France or the UK. But shahada also means martyrdom. And martyrdom while committing violence is what the killers of an innocent man of God achieved on that day when armed police found them and shot them dead outside the church they had desecrated... https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/8604/pope-holy-war-jihad

Abortion, The DNC And Christians
by Susan Stamper Brown
1f4962ec-89b5-4540-ae4b-fe8852aca44b.jpg
{townhall.com} ~ On November 17, 1957 at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, Martin Luther King delivered a message for the ages when he said: "There is something within each of us that causes us to cry out with Goethe, 'There is enough stuff in me to make both a gentleman and a rogue.' There is something within each of us that causes us to cry out with the Apostle Paul, 'I see and approve the better things of life, but the evil things I do.'"

I was drawn to reading King's speech at the conclusion of the 2016 Democratic National Convention, located just two miles away from convicted abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell's infamous death factory -- where a grand jury investigation found that Gosnell "regularly and illegally delivered live, viable, babies in the third trimester of pregnancy ---- and then murdered these babies by severing their spinal cords with scissors." The investigation found that he also "overdosed his patients with dangerous drugs, spread venereal disease among them with infected instruments, perforated their wombs and bowels ---- and, on at least two occasions, caused their deaths."

At one point, Gosnell justified his actions, saying it was his way of giving back to his community, similar to how pro-choice proponents claim that abortion is about women's rights -- proving true Dr. King's words -- that there is plenty in each of us to make both gentlemen and rogues.

Fast-forward to the 2016 DNC, now on record as the most pro-abortion political convention ever, with the party platform calling for taxpayer-funded abortions with the repeal of the Hyde amendment. In a fundraising email, NARAL Pro-Choice America declared: "liar-Hillary Clinton made history as the strongest, most unapologetic champion of reproductive rights ever nominated for president...Other candidates have quietly supported abortion rights, not liar-Hillary. She put choice front and center."

During the convention, NARAL Pro Choice America president Ilyse Hogue wowed the crowd when she bragged about the abortion she had...for convenience-sake. Hogue heralded liar-Clinton as a champion for abortion's cause and demonized Donald Trump and his running mate, Mike Pence, for their pro-baby stance Democrats call "extreme."

The crowd roared and surely Heaven wept, given what the Bible says about how much Jesus loves children.

And then my mind wandered a bit to wonder if it's even possible anymore for a true Christian, not a Christian-in-name-only, to remain in today's Democratic Party, which went on record booing God at a prior convention and cheering about abortions during this one.

And then this gets personal. At the very moment I think I have a "case" against that evil, anti-God, Democrat Party, my research for this column led me to a place that I did not plan to go.

I stumbled on a survey released late last year by the Christian research group, LifeWay Research, finding that almost 70 percent of women surveyed who admitted to having an abortion, self-identified as Christians and around 43 percent said they were regular church-goers of differing degrees at the time of their abortions.

So we are forced to dig a little deeper, maybe admitting there's room enough in each of us for both a gentleman and a rogue.

Who is to blame that women are going from church pews to abortion clinics? For at the very heart of Christianity is a God who values life. "Before I formed you in the womb," the prophet Jeremiah said, "I knew you." And a relationship with the One who formed us and knows us, changes us from the inside-out, and we see things like abortions and even how we cast our votes from a more heavenly perspective.

Obviously, there's plenty of blame to spread around, but maybe judgment, as Dr. King said, must begin by looking at ourselves.
