Hate Crime Hoax Hits U.S. Navy
by Culture Beat: Another hate crime hoax hits the military, this time aboard the aircraft carrier George H.W. Bush. Recall just last month the U.S. Air Force Academy Preparatory School concluded that racial slurs found written on dormitory message boards were a hoax. This time in the Navy, a 27-year-old black seaman posted photos on social media showing his rack covered in trash and scrawled with racial slurs. Along with the photos, he posted the comment, “I proudly serve the Navy and this is what I’m receiving in return.” His message was posted in November, after which the Navy investigated and on Friday determined that the alleged racist incident was a hoax.

Along with the photos, he posted the comment, “I proudly serve the Navy and this is what I’m receiving in return.” His message was posted in November, after which the Navy investigated and on Friday determined that the alleged racist incident was a hoax. Cmdr. Dave Hecht, a spokesman for Naval Air Force Atlantic, wrote in an email, “A NCIS-supported command investigation following claims of racially-motivated vandalism aboard the [carrier] has determined that the alleged victim staged the incident himself.” Hecht added, “The United States Navy does not tolerate racial discrimination of any form and the well-being of our Sailors is our top priority.” Hecht did not identify the sailor but said that he had “received appropriate administrative actions and additional counseling and training. He will remain a member of the crew and continue to perform his military duties.”
The sailor denied that he staged the vandalism and claimed that NCIS had not done a thorough investigation. “I have nothing to gain from doing such an incident but I have everything to lose,” he insisted. “I constantly have to look who’s giving me the side eye.” In a culture that praises victims of racism and elevates them to a privileged status, is it any wonder that an increasing number of supposedly racially motivated “hate crimes” are proving to be hoaxes? ~The Patriot Post

54 Democrat Hags Write To Gowdy
Demanding New Trump Sexual Witch Hunt
by rickwells.us
{rickwells.us} ~ Apparently sensing that their witch hunt against President Trump may be running out of momentum... Reacting to the chorus of criticism over the partisan nature of the way the criminal mobster Mueller and his team of political thugs are conducting the covert hit on President Trump, they’re rapidly moving to plan “B.” Following the resignation of John Conyers for actual offenses and the promise to quit someday by Al Franken, the Democrat media featured a one hour hit piece on President Trump on the Megyn Kelly program with three of Trump’s accusers doing their best to take him down. That was followed a few hours later by a pre-planned event with sixteen of the supposed victims by the movie company that portrayed them as “innocent victims of that mean old rich man who only cares about getting his lecherous hands on innocent, homely women,” Donald Trump... https://rickwells.us/hags-demanding-trump-sexual/.

Germany's Batty Plan to Deter Migrants
by Stefan Frank
{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ The German foreign ministry has launched a website to discourage would-be migrants from making their journey to Germany... "Rumours about Germany: Facts for Migrants". It aims -- In English, French and Arabic -- to debunk "some of the most common false promises made by traffickers", such as: "Every refugee receives a welcome payment of 2,000 euros", "Germany grants a house to every refugee" or, "The ship for the crossing is very big, it even has a pool and a cinema." The new website comes in the wake of "AWARE MIGRANTS", a similar project jointly developed by the Italian Ministry of the Interior and the International Office for Migration(IOM) in July 2016. Whereas the goal of "AWARE MIGRANTS" was to raise awareness about the dangerous journey across the African desert and the Mediterranean, "Rumours about Germany" focuses mostly on the economic aspects of asylum seekers' lives in Germany -- which the website paints as one of hardships and dismal prospects... https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/11450/germany-migrants-deterrence.
Ibrahim Munir, the Man Who
Keeps the Muslim Brotherhood Alive
by Hany Ghoraba
{investigativeproject.org} ~ Among the lesser known, yet most influential leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood organization is the Egyptian-born British national Ahmed Ibrahim Munir Mustafa... Known simply as Ibrahim Munir, he is the global Brotherhood's secretary general and interim supreme guide. The Brotherhood faces a great succession dilemma with many of its Egyptian leadership jailed and facing trials. A controversial old Islamic jurisprudence fatwastates that captured men or prisoners of wars cannot lead their nation or groups. Accordingly, incumbent Supreme Guide Mohamed Badie cannot lead the group while he is in an Egyptian prison. Several names were mentioned as a possible new supreme guide, among them Mahmoud Ezzat, a leading Brotherhood member since the 1960s, who is believed to be in hiding in Gaza and is wanted by Egyptian authorities for allegedly orchestrating the violence taking place in Egypt. But Ezzat announced in 2016 that he did not want the title and recommended Ibrahim Munir... https://www.investigativeproject.org/7052/ibrahim-munir-the-man-who-keeps-the-muslim.

No King but Caesar
{townhall.com} ~ In September 1862, a group of Chicago ministers sent a "memorial" or long letter to President Abraham Lincoln in which they made a theological argument for the elimination of slavery.
Lincoln had also heard from Southern clergy who used the same scriptures to justify slavery's preservation.
In response, Lincoln wrote the Chicago group with words that today's Christians might consider when it comes to matters involving sexual harassment and the setting aside of moral and biblical principles to achieve temporary political goals.
"I am approached with the most opposite opinions and advice, and that by religious men, who are equally certain that they represent the Divine will. I am sure that either the one or the other class is mistaken in the belief, and perhaps in some respects both. I hope it will not be irreverent for me to say that if it is probable that God would reveal his will to others, on a point so connected with my duty, it might be supposed he would reveal it directly to me; for, unless I am more deceived in myself than I often am, it is my earnest desire to know the will of Providence in this matter. And if I can learn what it is I will do it! These are not, however, the days of miracles, and I suppose it will be granted that I am not to expect a direct revelation. I must study the plain physical facts of the case, ascertain what is possible and learn what appears to be wise and right. The subject is difficult, and good men do not agree."
Lincoln eventually made the right decision that culminated in The Emancipation Proclamation. The divided nation shed much blood over slavery, and the fallout from that war continues today in racial conflict.
I have listened to arguments on both sides of the sexual harassment issue by "good men" and women. There are those who believe allegations of sexual harassment of teens and young women by Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore are sufficient to deny him a seat in the Senate. Others say that maintaining a 52-seat Republican majority is critical to advancing President Trump's agenda, which includes seating more conservative judges on federal benches. This, they say, supersedes what Moore may or may not have done 40 years ago.
By cleaning house and the Senate of their own bad boys, many Democrats think they will gain a previously hidden moral authority to win back the House and impeach President Trump for his alleged past and they believe more recent misdeeds.
The Democrats' agenda might be true, but for evangelical Christians should either argument matter more than the King and Kingdom they are supposed to serve?
Some biblical wisdom might be instructive. In the Old Testament, Esau sold his birthright to his brother Jacob for a bowl of soup. He later regretted his decision, but at the time he was hungry and said his birthright meant little to him.
In the ultimate church-state moment where the crowd was forced to choose between demanding that Pilate give the order to crucify Jesus of Nazareth, or let Him go, there was this sobering exchange:
Pilate: "Shall I crucify your king?"
The chief priests: "We have no king but Caesar." (John 19:15)
As then, today's "chief priests" and church members are being asked to make a choice. One choice might give short-term satisfaction, as Esau experienced with his temporarily filled stomach, but it leads to a loss of credibility in the eyes of the world. It demonstrates that for Christians attaining earthly and temporal power is paramount.
Another verse that might help evangelicals: "Choose this day whom you will serve." (Joshua 24:15).
Bob Dylan contemporized it this way: "Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord, but you're gonna have to serve somebody."
It's time to choose.

I do agree 100% but for some they do believe the allegations.
Allagations false or true are not proof, all citizens are innocent untill proven guilty in a court of law not the media and current public opinion
