{ lidblog.com } ~ Congressman Mark Meadows (R-NC) has the hottest gossip in Washington, D.C... and it’s likely to force the media to keep asking questions about the nature of the corruption that seems to have plagued the FBI during the Comey/McCabe and liar-nObama administrations. Meadows has gotten his hands on more Strzok-Page texts that incriminate the FBI actions pertaining to the 2016 Presidental election. Meadows is the leader of the House Freedom Caucus, a conservative organization that while not “hostile” to President Trump, has been stood in his way on various issues including the  Omnibus spending bill and raising tariffs. However, while he and his caucus may not be Trump’s biggest fans, they are tired of watching the Democrats get away with lawlessness while simultaneously accusing the President of crimes no one actually believes he committed. Late Sunday night he released a few of the latest texts incriminating the FBI in a coordinated effort to collude with liar-Hillary Clinton to defeat Donald Trump in the 2016 Presidential election...  https://lidblog.com/strzok-page-election/

Patriot Rep Steve King Takes
On Commie Millennial Disarmament Agitators

{ rickwells.us } ~ One of the attention addicts being trotted out by the anti-American disarmament peddlers on the communist left is Emma Gonzalez... who, judging from the appearance of her pants, must have been in one of those revolutionary machete fights on the way to the March for Confiscation and Slavery on Saturday. Her presentation included a stunt in which she stood on stage and made a repulsive spectacle of herself as cried like Hussein liar-nObama and Chuck clown-Schumer, blaming, not the killing field gun-free zones that allowed the massacre to take place, or the failures of law enforcement to do their jobs, but the guns the killer used. After all, they are the true enemy of the communist Democrats that prevent them from seizing power and engaging in political genocide. As part of her revolutionary “Che Guevara” outfit, Gonzalez wore a Cuban flag on her fatigue jacket. That, along with her hypocrisy, was noted by Rep Steve King’s campaign staff...  https://rickwells.us/steve-king-commie-agitators/

Leftists Are the Attackers, Not the Victims

{ americanthinker.com } ~ Duped family members, friends, and fellow Christians have fallen for leftists' lie that all they are tearfully asking for is fairness and tolerance on various issues... The truth is, leftists are rabid, relentless attackers, using government, deception, and guilt-tripping to silence all opposition to their extreme anti-God, anti-traditional family, and anti-freedom agendas. Indoctrinated by leftists from kindergarten through college, youths actually believe that our First Amendment right of free speech should be repealed because conservative speech and ideas are offensive to them. Youths also believe they have a right to physically beat you up to shut you up. Outrageously, leftists are making tremendous gains on making speaking the truth about various issues illegal. Take abortion for example. Leftists say they are pro-choice. The truth is, leftists are at war with innocent unborn babies, wanting as many murdered as possible. Why? Because leftists believe that humanity is bad for the planet. Leftists write countless articles infecting youths with their lie that  childbirth is environmentally irresponsible. Leftists say screw God's command to "be fruitful and multiply" (Genesis 1:28). Leftists, in their prideful arrogance, believe they are smarter than God...   https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2018/03/leftists_are_the_attackers_not_the_victims.html

All The Second Amendment Lies 
From So-Called ‘March For Our Lives’

{ lidblog.com } ~ As with most things liberals do, they claim that they are being “inclusive” when they really aren’t... and the so-called “March For Our Lives” was a perfect example of this. Also, as with most things liberals do, the whole raison d’etre is based on lies, second amendment lies, and the weekend’s march was filled to the brim with that, too. Then there is the violent rhetoric and hate for all things they disagree with. In all, this so-called march was just another example of left-hate at its worst. First of all, this rally was far from merely a rally to talk about gun laws. It also became a massive Democrat Party voter registration drive. According to Breitbart News: “One woman registering voters told Breitbart News that 500 volunteers were in the crowd on Saturday to sign up protesters.”  Far from focusing on gun laws, this so-called march was just a smoke screen to enlarge the Democrat Party… which, by the way, has failed to pass any new gun laws...  https://lidblog.com/second-amendment-lies/.
Stormy Daniels And Cohen Lawyers Go Head To Head

{ dailycaller.com } ~ Lawyers for porn star Stormy Daniels and Trump attorney Michael Cohen waged war for their respective clients... during an intense CNN panel on Monday evening. Daniels appeared on “60 Minutes” for a long interview on Sunday night where she answered numerous questions about her alleged affair with Donald Trump but stopped short of providing any evidence that could prove her claims. “I was completely underwhelmed,” David Schwartz, the attorney for Cohen, said. “What new did we learn? I mean, you’re an iconic news person — that was not anything, you know, dramatic by any stretch of the imagination.” Schwartz also called out Daniels and her attorney, Michael Avenatti, for accusing Cohen of threatening her into signing a non-disclosure agreement about the alleged affair...  http://dailycaller.com/2018/03/26/stormy-trump-lawyers-battle-cnn/?utm_medium=email

Holy Week in Jail 
by Tom McLaughlin

{ tommclaughlin.blogspot.com } ~ It’s Holy Week, but how many Americans know anymore what that is? For Christians, it’s the final week of the Lenten Season, but this year it coincides with the Final Four, the end of March Madness. Perhaps the latter is more recognized than the former in today’s America.

It’s been nearly two years since I volunteered for a weekly Bible study at Cumberland County Jail (CCJ) in Portland, Maine and it’s a challenge. When I taught history I’d have the same students every day and planned lessons each building on the other. At the jail, I never know who will come through the door or how many. Maybe two or three will have attended before. Maybe none. Sometimes it’s a completely new group. Some enter carrying donated Bibles which are supplied free but most arrive empty-handed.

Windham Correctional Facility
 

Most CCJ inmates are there less than a year either awaiting trial or already sentenced. Those who get longer stretches go to Windham Correctional Center or Maine State Prison in Warren. Inmates at every prison were in a jail first and given high recidivism, all correctional facilities have revolving doors.

An average Bible Study has eight or ten guys, some with much biblical knowledge, some with none, others in between. I always have a plan but it seldom unfolds as intended. How can I impart a sense of what Holy Week means to inmates who don’t know what Christianity is? Those with knowledge are eager to expand it. Others have no idea of what the Bible contains and for their sake I most offer a broad context.

I tell them the Bible has two parts: the Old Testament and the New Testament. Last week I drew a timeline on a white board. Explaining that we don’t know when creation occurred, I began by writing:

Abraham — 2000 BC
Moses — 1500 BC
King David — 1000 BC.
Babylonian Exile — 500 BC
Jesus Christ — 0.
Muhammed — 600 AD.

Dates were approximate and the Bible doesn’t mention Muhammed, but most inmates have been exposed to Islam because it’s usually not their first experience behind bars. They’ve have done hard time in prisons where Islam has a significant presence and occasionally I’ll get Muslims from Somalia or converts.

After fixing the Bible in time, I fix it in space using a folder full of maps. Starting with a world map showing Maine and Israel highlighted in red, I then I hold up one of the Mediterranean Sea with Rome, Greece, and Israel highlighted. Then I’ll draw a crude map of the eastern Mediterranean across the Persian Gulf toward Iran on the white board. Often there are Iraq and Afghanistan veterans present who know the region. I trace Abraham’s migration from the Persian Gulf up through Syria and down to Israel. Then I trace Israel’s enslavement in Egypt, the exodus back to Israel under Moses, the rise of King David, the establishment of Jerusalem, Israel’s captivity in what’s now Iraq during the Babylonian exile, and finally back to Israel for the birth of Jesus.

If I ask how long ago Jesus lived there are lots of blank stares. “What year is this?” I say. “In the western world, we measure time from before Jesus and after Him because He was considered the most important figure in history and the Bible is divided the same way: The Old Testament is about events before Christ. The New Testament begins with His birth 2018 years ago. We get our seven-day week from the creation story in Genesis, the first book of the Old Testament.”

Wide eyes tell me most never realized this. Finally, I explain the four gospels which begin the New Testament, each of which ends with events of Holy Week — the Last Supper, Crucifixion, Resurrection — the crux of Christianity.

Questions are asked and answered. Then comes a review of original sin — Adam and Eve’s fall from grace in Genesis. Throughout the Old Testament Jews sacrificed lambs to atone for sin. The New Testament tells of Jesus Christ offering himself as the perfect sacrifice by His death on the cross, then rising from death. That’s why He’s called “The Lamb of God” — the final atonement.

This week I’ll offer a more detailed summary of Holy Week: Christ re-entered Jerusalem on Sunday. Thursday he held the Last Supper, was betrayed, put before Pontius Pilate, then beaten and scourged. On Friday he was crucified with two others. On the third day, Easter Sunday, he rose from the dead.

Recently a very young inmate with a cross crudely tattooed between his eyes came in early before anyone else. He asked me, “Is it ever too late to get into heaven?” I told him of the “good thief” crucified next to Jesus who said to Him, “Remember me when you come into your kingdom.”

“Today you will be with me in Paradise,” Jesus said.

“No,” I said. “It’s never too late.”
