Diplomatic Security Service awash in Sex, Drugs and Hookers

While Government agencies watch you – Mosques run amuck

Homeland Insecurity: The White House assures us that tracking our every phone call and keystroke is necessary to stop terrorists, and yet it won’t snoop in mosques, where the terrorists emanate from. Fact - Many of the terrorists have been radicalized in Mosques and Muslim agencies right here in America. According to the NSA the government’s sweeping surveillance of our most private communications excludes Mosques and Muslim affiliated facilities. Supposedly this is done to protect the sensibilities of innocent Muslims who worship in Mosques.

Since October 2011, mosques have been off-limits to FBI agents. Surveillance or undercover sting operations are not allowed without high-level approval from a special oversight body at the Justice Department dubbed the Sensitive Operations Review Committee (SORC). Who makes up this body, and under what methodology do they review requests - nobody knows.  The names of the chairman, members and staff are kept secret. Why is it necessary to keep the names and titles of the people who decide whether or not to protect the rest of the country from radical Muslims, secret?

We do know the panel was set up under pressure from Islamist groups who complained about FBI stings at mosques. Just months before the panel’s formation, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) teamed up with the ACLU to sue the FBI for allegedly violating the civil rights of Muslims in Los Angeles by hiring an undercover agent to infiltrate and monitor mosques in America’s second largest city. Another defeat for the politically correct imbeciles in our government. Before mosques were excluded from the otherwise wide domestic spy net the administration has cast, the FBI launched dozens of successful sting operations against homegrown radicals inside mosques, and disrupted dozens of plots against innocent American citizens across the United States.

If only they were allowed to continue, perhaps the many innocent victims of the Boston Marathon bombings would not have lost their lives and limbs. The FBI never canvassed Boston mosques until four days after the April 15 attacks, and it did not check out the radical Boston mosque where the Muslim bombers worshiped even though they were supposedly on the government’s watch list. The bureau didn’t even contact mosque leaders for help in identifying their images after those images were captured on closed-circuit TV cameras and cellphones.

As I have repeatedly pointed out, the Politically Correct attitude of the Obama administration is dangerous to the well being of the average hard working American citizen. There are many religious communities in the United States. How can the government attack one of the oldest and most established religions in the United States and choose to defend the actions of another belief system that espouses violence and murder of Westerners who they classify as infidels. Even though the FBI was tipped by Russia more than a year before about the leanings of the two Boston bombers, they apparently chose to ignore it. Now after the fact we learn that one of the Muslim bombers made extremist outbursts during worship, yet because the mosque wasn’t monitored, red flags didn’t go off inside the FBI about his increasing radicalization before the attacks.

Why didn’t the Imam contact the FBI? Why don’t these people of  peace speak up when they hear people in their congregation espousing hate of the country they have adopted.  Maybe it’s because they see us as an opportunity to expand their Caliphate and don’t really care what happens to the infidels in their way who don’t deserve to live. This is particularly disturbing in light of recent independent surveys of American mosques, which reveal some 80% of them preach violent jihad and distribute violent literature to worshipers. Even though Islam is not a religion in the strict sense (it is more of a socio-economic way of life), if Church doors are open to anyone or anything then Mosques should be too. If Muslims have nothing to hide then they should not object to being treated the same or equal to other religious organizations.

If our Federal agencies are going to protect us from attack, they have to adopt strong measures to root out these radicals and a plan to counter those who would commit atrocities against citizens of the the United States.

The nation’s economy is worse off under Obama than under Bush for yet another month, according to an objective mathematical measurement of the nation’s economic indicators released Monday by Congressman Steve Stockman (R-Texas 36.)

The economy continues to fail to recover under Obama as June’s Obama Failometer Score remains stuck at an astonishing 1,166.

“Not only is there no economic recovery for yet another month under Obama, things are getting worse for black Americans,” said Stockman. “It’s like Jimmy Carter swapped his sweater for mom jeans. While past economic recoveries have been roars, this is a sickly wheeze.”

The Obama Failometer uses a fixed mathematical score to calculate four economic indicators from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The figures from the monthly reports are weighted to provide a balanced total score, which ranges from zero to 1,000. A score of 0 represent economic stability and racial equality. The higher the score, the deeper the economic failure.

Obama can set the Failometer to zero simply by outperforming Bush on the economy and fulfilling his 2008 and 2012 campaign promises to help blacks and Hispanics gain economically.

So far, Obama is worse than Bush.

Since its creation Obama has failed to generate a Failometer score that can be contained within the chart’s range of zero to 1000.

The Obama Failometer Score was originally displayed on a ten-foot-long billboard displayed in the hallways of the Capitol’s Cannon House Office building. House officials ordered it torn down in January after Democrats complained.

Here is how the Obama Failometer Score is calculated:

FACTORS MEASURED AGAINST BUSH

Monthly jobs created: The Hamilton Project, a liberal economic policy group, stated last year the economy must create 321,000 jobs a month in order to return the economy to pre-recession employment levels by December 2016, the end of Obama’s term.

As the economy continues to flounder under Obama that number grows, but the Obama Failometer will continue to use it, which gives him some statistical relief.

Obama promised to not only restore the economy to where it was under Bush, but grow it. So far Obama has failed to even perform as well as Bush.

This Obama Failometer score portion is calculated by subtracting the number of jobs created in the previous month from the 321,000 jobs claimed necessary by the liberal Hamilton Project and dividing by 1,000 to balance it against other factors.

The BLS reports the economy created 175,000 jobs in April, 146,000 fewer than needed to restore the economy. This portion of the Obama Failometer Score is 146.

Civilian labor force participation rate: The civilian labor force participation rate, the ratio between those 16 and over in the labor force against the national population of those 16 and over, is an important measure of economic health. After puttering along during the Bush administration, including through the “Bush years” of the recession, under Obama it has plunged sharply.

This Obama Failometer score portion is calculated by subtracting the monthly civilian labor force participation rate from the average Bush administration rate and multiplying by 100 to balance it against other factors. According to data from the BLS, under Bush the average monthly civilian labor force participation rate was around 66.2 percent.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports the monthly civilian labor force participation rate for April is stagnant at an abysmal 63.4 percent, close to the record low and behind Bush’s average by 2.8 percent. This portion of the Obama Failometer Score is 280.

FACTORS MEASURED AGAINST OBAMA’S OWN RHETORIC

Black unemployment: No one has suffered more economically under Obama than black Americans. Obama’s election and re-election has meant crippling poverty for the black community.

This Obama Failometer score portion is calculated by taking the monthly unemployment rate for blacks and subtracting the monthly unemployment rate for all Americans, and multiplying it by 100 to balance it against other factors.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports the black unemployment rate for April was a depressing 13.5 percent, while the national overall rate was 7.6 percent. That is a gap of 5.9 percent, is wider than last month’s gap of 5.7%. This portion of the Obama Failometer Score is 590.

Compare Obama’s performance to Bush’s. The highest monthly unemployment rate ever for blacks under Bush was 12.1 percent. Obama’s lowest rate was 12.7 percent in January, a figure he largely inherited. He has never performed as well as Bush’s worst black unemployment rate.

Bush’s average black unemployment rate was 9.7 percent and an overall national average of 5.2 percent, a 4.5 percent gap that gives Bush a score of 450.

Hispanic unemployment: Despite winning the Hispanic vote, Obama’s liberal policies have caused widespread damage to the Hispanic community. Thanks to Obama, they continue to lag behind the national average in many economic factors.

This Obama Failometer score portion is calculated by taking the monthly unemployment rate for Hispanics and subtracting the monthly unemployment rate for all Americans, and multiplying it by 100 to balance it against other factors.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports the Hispanic unemployment rate for March was a pitiful 9.1 percent, while the national overall rate was 7.6 percent. That is a gap of 1.5 percent, same as June. This portion of the Obama Failometer Score is 150.

The Hispanic unemployment rate hit its all-time historic low of 4.7 percent during Bush’s last term. It is almost twice that rate under Obama.

THEREFORE, THIS MONTH’S OBAMA FAILOMETER SCORE IS 1166.

How much of our modern life is digitally constructed? How much of our day-to-day research is done online? Much of our record-keeping, financial transactions, commerce, communications and of course, social media rely on access to the digital realm where they reside. Our entertainment and news are utterly dependent on the uncorrupted digital transfer of information.

If the NSA leaker Edward Snowden is telling the truth, then our government has the ability to see all of those things and more, at the root level. According to Snowden, our government has total access, in real time, across all platforms.

I hear much lamentation over the loss of privacy, and the counter-argument swiftly given is that only those with something to hide need worry. What is getting lost here is the unfortunate reality that we likely have less to fear from what information may be taken out of the digital stream and misused, than what information might be placed into the stream imperceptibly, across all platforms, in real-time.

Realities could be constructed. Media news cycles could be managed by leaving trails that create desired narratives. Research might be misdirected toward dead-ends or desired results. Reputations could be enhanced or diminished, created or destroyed, with no one the wiser. The political power created by such a tool would be unequalled in human history.

Our government has long operated similar surveillance programs. The NSA operation is not a shiny new thing, it is merely a very powerful thing grown to unthinkable proportions. Before 9/11 these functions were spread out across a number of agencies.

While it might have been possible to misdirect the resources of a portion of government against a political enemy, it was quite difficult to do so without leaving a trail, even with the turf battles and refusals to share information between agencies that were a hallmark of our intelligence community.  These circumstances comprised the “wall” former Clinton administration official Jamie Gorelick spoke of (and in fact created) and it needed to be breached for efficiency’s sake.

But where we only needed a door – albeit one with a sturdy lock – we destroyed the entire wall. Now, the monumental power that comes with having root access to the very backbone of the global internet, is directed by a monolithic security apparatus operating behind an impenetrable veil of secrecy with little meaningful oversight and no real checks on abuse.

What is the likelihood that the most opaque administration in our lifetime (gasp!) might be unable to resist the temptation to fiddle with our realities? This being the same bunch that peddled automatic weapons to drug cartels, targeted conservatives with the power of the IRS, and to this day, stonewalls investigators looking into Benghazi.

This is too much power for any government to have without extraordinary safeguards. The capability described in Snowden’s leak is a genie that will not be put back into the bottle. Its utility is too great and its power too vast. It is the “One Ring,” from the Tolkien tale, and it must meet the same fate.

Abolish the Department of Homeland Security, break up much of the NSA infrastructure and devolve those functions back to the multiple agencies from whence they came. At least then, when someone seeks to turn this power against a foe, real or imagined, there will be numerous checks to prevent unconstitutional behavior due to the sheer number of agencies and people involved.

Clearly this will not prevent all abuses, but dividing power such as this, is our only means of controlling it. Is Snowden a hero? I wouldn’t go that far yet, but I would certainly describe him as the right guy in the right place, at the right time in our Republic’s history, however short that history may yet turn out to be.

While the founders couldn’t have predicted a capability such as that leaked by Snowden, they did imagine and account for the mentality and motives of people who would seek to misuse it. While the tools may have improved, the workmen are just as fallible as ever, which is why we must follow Jefferson’s advice and “bind down [their] hands with the chains of the Constitution.”

Top deputy to Lois Lerner admits there was no action for at least a year on tax exempt applications

And the left likes to call the right haters. Hogwash. The left is where you will find the first class haters.

The Supreme Court on Monday threw out an Arizona law that required people to prove they were citizens before they could use a new federal registration system meant to make signing up to vote easier.

In a 7-2 vote, the court ruled the Arizona law was trumped by the federal “motor voter” registration law.

The decision split conservatives on the High Court, with Associate Justice Antonin Scalia writing the opinion for the majority and fellow conservative Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissenting.

The court’s liberal wing sided with Scalia, as did Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Anthony Kennedy.

In his majority opinion, Scalia wrote that Arizona was precluded “from requiring a federal form applicant to submit information beyond that required by the form itself.”

In her collection of essays on the philosophy of free trade (Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal. 1966), Ayn Rand wrote: “Since knowledge, thinking, and rational action are properties of the individual, since the choice to exercise his rational faculty or not depends on the individual, man’s survival requires that those who think be free of the interference of those who don’t.”

What that thought in mind, consider the common thread of deception that weaves its way through the witches’ brew of scandals that are boiling over in our modern day cauldron in the smoky back room called “politics as usual.”  Approximately 47 percent of the likely voters in America seemingly approve of Barack Obama’s job performance according to a June 17, 2013 Rasmussen presidential daily tracking poll.

Logic defies an explanation.

Do natural born American citizens really want to lose the privilege of living under the rule of law that is designed to protect their life, liberty and happiness and guarantee their right to free speech, free association, self-protection and privacy? Do recent immigrants currently living in America (legally and illegally) really want to return to the suspected poverty and potential tyranny from whence they came? The answers must be no and no and yet how can our relatively youthful representative republic survive when so many of our citizenry appear not to be thinking but at the same time are given the great responsibility of casting a vote?

And what could possibly cause our elected officials to look the other way as our beleaguered commander in chief continues to nominate judges to the highest courts of our country thereby potentially skewing judicial decisions to his anti-rule of law edicts; as he cavalierly sends weapons to our enemies thereby potentially providing the small arms that will be used to murder our military men and women in the near future; and as he and his spoiled wife, children and entourage of assorted progressive neo-elites use millions of our scarce taxpayer dollars to travel the world promoting this unhealthy transformation of America? Shouldn’t he be stopped on a New York dime as a result of all these scandals? I think so, but how do we reach the millions of Americans who when asked don’t know Benghazi from a burned out hole in the ground?

Many of us who think about these things can remember that in 2009 tea party patriots from across this nation took to the streets with their signs, their flags and their banners, and in 2010 conservatives won elections all across this land (unfortunately many of the newly elected conservatives quickly cowered under the pressure of the big government power players but that is a subject for another day). In 2009, we were in the streets educating the public without the veil of deception of the Machiavellian mainstream media (MMM).

Then, in an effort to further educate our own selves on the finer points of constitutional government, for the following two years we decided to sit in meetings; to talk, listen and learn. Guess what happened while we were all sitting in meetings basically preaching to the choir? The narrative provided to the greater populace changed; the Machiavellian mainstream media (MMM) successfully but incorrectly redefined tea partiers as a small group of “wacko-birds” and as a result, we lost elections in 2012 – big time.

We need to once again break through the MMM’s veil of deception and the only way I can think of that we can possibly do that is to take to the streets again. Organize rallies, set up peaceful demonstrations, personally hand out literature, start talking to the public again. Do you remember all of the cars that beeped their horns in support of our ideals? Do you remember the energy and excitement of knowing that our message was getting out loud, clear and unadulterated by the powerful MMM forces against us?

We can do it again; we must do it again and July 4, 2013 is as good a time as any to start.

Murder-Town USA has more homicides than Afghanistan

The headline on the front page of the New York Times said it all: “Women in the Senate Confront the Military on Sex Assaults.”

In a triumphalist article showcasing the growing numbers of women on the Senate Armed Services Committee, “one of the Senate’s most testosterone-driven panels,” the story line presents female Senators attacking male military officials over charges of sexual assaults against women in the armed forces.

Us-against-them stories are great for generating excitement in the media and in politics. But whether any of this political theater will actually reduce sexual assaults against women in the armed forces is a totally different question.

For thousands of years, people around the world had the common sense to realize that putting young men and young women together in military operations was asking for trouble, not only for these young people of both sexes, but for the effectiveness of military forces entrusted with the fate of nations.

Yet, in these politically correct times, civilian leaders who increasingly have no experience whatever in the armed forces are far more willing to try to micro-manage the military than back in the days when most members of Congress and most Presidents had served in the military.

No more money to countries that persecute Christians

The Bradley Foundation, a private, independent grant-making organization based in Milwaukee, recently handed out its annual Bradley Prize to four men who have, in the words of the organization’s mission statement, “(preserved and defended) the tradition of free representative government and private enterprise that has enabled the American nation and, in a larger sense, the entire Western world to flourish intellectually and economically.”

Among the winners at the Kennedy Center event in Washington, D.C., was Roger Ailes, chairman of Fox News, the bête noire to the broadcast networks and other media elites.

In his acceptance remarks, Ailes noted that Fox (on which I occasionally appear) has racked up 137 consecutive months as the number one cable news network and that it has the top 13 shows on cable. He didn’t say that CNN and MSNBC are in a ratings decline. He didn’t have to.

It has been my privilege to know the three most influential pioneers in television. One was David Sarnoff. Biographer Kenneth W. Bilby calls Sarnoff an “early champion of home radio, creator of the first national broadcasting network and pioneer of color TV (and) RCA’s president (who) did more than anyone to bring electronic technology to the public.”

The second is Ted Turner, founder of CNN, which broke the broadcast news monopoly.

The third is Roger Ailes, who brought his long TV experience and political background to Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News Channel and has turned it into a juggernaut, eclipsing CNN and MSNBC and challenging the broadcast networks in viewership.

Dangerous new Speech Code from DOJ and Dept of Education

Larry Klayman, a former Justice Department prosecutor and founder of Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch, today issued the following statement in the wake of having filed last week two class action lawsuits seeking redress for the widespread violation of constitutional rights to privacy, freedom of association, to be secure from unreasonable searches and seizures and due process in the newest Obama scandal known as “NSA-gate.”

“Now that the proverbial ‘cat is fully out of the bag’ concerning the NSA’s and its enablers’ massive violation of the constitutional rights of American citizens, the ‘establishment rats’ in Washington, D.C., predictably were sent scurrying to try to cover up their ‘NSA rat hole,’ by vilifying and then calling for the criminal prosecution of whistleblower Edward Snowden. Many of these rabid rats are of Democrat and Republican persuasions; they are the government officials, congressmen and senators who all collaborated to put the NSA’s illegal ‘Big Brother’ data mining of cell and internet providers communications networks secretly into effect. They also consist of the pro-Obama prime time talk show hosts of MSNBC, and Jeffrey Toobin, the legal analyst who also ran interference for the criminally minded Clintons during the late 1990s. These media apologists have miraculously developed a new found concern for national security – having conveniently ‘overlooked’ President Obama and Vice President Biden’s wholesale and highly damaging leaks of classified national security information to boost their 2012 election prospects.

Now claiming that this massive violation of privacy and other constitutional rights is justified to combat terrorism, these Washington establishment rats are in full spin mode. On many of the Sunday talk shows, they were present in full force, trying to divert attention away from NSA-gate, lest it implicate them in the patently illegal criminal conduct.

But the American people are not fooled, no more than our Founding Fathers Benjamin Franklin, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson were fooled by King George III’s wholesale violation of basic human rights in the years leading up to the Declaration of Independence and the start of the revolutionary war, when the British busted into our homes, stole our worldly possessions, taxed us into submission, perverted our legal system and, when we complained, seized and destroyed our weapons of self defense.

The potential number of class action plaintiffs in the two cases which I filed over NSA-gate potentially number over 300 million persons. The masses thus have the legal means to rise up and and hold the Washington establishment rats, which include but are not limited to defendants President Obama, Attorney General Holder, the Justice Department, the heads of the NSA and the cell and internet providers, the agencies and companies themselves, and federal judge Roger Vinson, responsible for their outrageous criminal acts. These cases can be the catalyst which sparks the new American revolution, peacefully and in the courts.

But if the federal judiciary does not hear the legitimate grievances of the American people and take corrective action, and instead seek to protect the Washington establishment rats who put them in power, then it could be 1776 all over again, as the people have been violated and raped, and they demand redress! Coupled with all of the other outrageous abuses of the government and its enablers, which have in the last decades been piling up, and gotten much worse during the Obama administration, the citizenry is more than angry; and it has had it! In the footsteps of our Founding Fathers, the American citizenry want a return to a free country and is prepared to take all just and appropriate measures to restore the nation to its foundational roots before it is destroyed by these arrogant, power hungry and lawless tyrants,” pleaded Klayman.

Hours cut to avoid insurance coverage

Western leaders rebuked Russian President Vladimir Putin for supporting Syria’s Bashar al-Assad in his battle to crush an uprising, setting the stage for what could be a tense two-day G8 summit.

U.S. President Barack Obama is expected to use his first face-to-face meeting with Putin in a year to try to convince the Kremlin chief to bring Assad to the negotiating table to end the two-year-old conflict.

British Prime Minister David Cameron, who is chairing the G8 summit, acknowledged there was “a big difference” between the positions of Russia and the West on Syria.

After Putin warned Obama of the dangers of arming Assad’s foes who he claimed ate human body parts, Moscow said it would not permit no-fly zones to be imposed over Syria.

“I think we fundamentally will not allow this scenario,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich said in Moscow.

(CNSNews.com) – An al Qaeda video posted online in late May and translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) shows masked Muslim teenage boys undergoing military training and indoctrination at an al Qaeda camp inside Syria.

The video shows the teenagers shooting handguns at a large photo of Syrian leader Bashar al-Asad. It also shows them stating that their leader is Abu Bakr al Baghdadi (the head of al Qaeda in Iraq), and then singing joyfully of their desire to overthrow both Asad and his sister, of the valor of al Qaeda leader Ayman al Zawahiri and of al Qaeda’s success in blowing up the World Trade Center towers.

“We destroyed America with a civilian airplane,” the young Syrian rebels sing. “The World Trade Center was turned into rubble. The World Trade Center was turned into rubble.

RAMALLAH, West Bank — The Palestinian militant group Hamas has urged Lebanon’s Hezbollah, a former ally, to withdraw its fighters from Syria, signaling growing sectarian tensions over the war there.

Hezbollah, a Shiite Muslim movement, is helping Syrian President Bashar Assad fight Syrian rebels, most of them Sunni Muslims. Sunni Hamas broke with former patron Assad last year over his crackdown on fellow Sunnis.

Hamas, along with Hezbollah, used to be part of the self-proclaimed Iranian- and Syrian-led “axis of resistance” against Israel.

The time for words is over. Action must be taken. Obama has no regard for the American people. Obama has no regard for the rule of law. Obama has no regard for the Constitution.

Obama shoved socialized healthcare down the throat of America, a program that is driving up the cost of health insurance and is projected to cost almost two trillion dollars—just in the first decade! If the massive debt amassed from Obama’s trillion dollar Stimulus and multi-trillion dollar bank bailouts don’t bankrupt this country, ObamaCare surely will.

Obama has continually tried to disarm the American people, attempting to nullify the Second Amendment through a phony “assault weapons” ban, not to mention trying to sidestep Congress by planning to sign the United Nations Small Arms Treaty. This so-called “treaty” will put UN regulations above the Constitution.

Obama shipped guns to Mexican drug cartels in the Fast and Furious program in order to blame the increase in drug cartel violence on American gun dealers—specifically to limit our Second Amendment rights. Included in the thousands of guns shipped to Mexican drug cartels are the weapons used to murder Border Patrol agent Brian Terry and ICE agent Jaime Zapata. Obama is in the strictest sense of the term an accessory to murder.

Obama has targeted his enemies with the IRS—the Tea Party, pro-life Groups, any group or person that opposes his radical leftist policies.

Obama has targeted the press, including Fox News and the Associated Press. As we learned yesterday, CBS News’ Sharyl Attkisson’s work and home computer was hacked. Someone was “scrubbing” data—that is, stealing files—from her computer at the exact time that she was exposing Obama’s Benghazi cover-up. That it was an Obama operative is a forgone conclusion.

Obama has taken the Patriot Act to an unimaginable, Orwellian level. The NSA under a program we know now called PRISM is spying on every single American, ingesting literally everything that is communicated electronically: phone calls, email, text,  Facebook posts, Skype, travel records—even credit card transactions and banking records!

The time for words is over. Action must be taken. Barack Hussein Obama should be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors—now—today.

In less than a week since it became public, the Obama administration’s NSA spying scandal has progressed far beyond the accumulation of Verizon’s phone records.

We now know that the NSA and its friends at Eric Holder’s Department of Justice are also utilizing Google (GOOG), Facebook (FB), Yahoo! (YHOO), and almost every other large tech firm to spy on us.

Of all the recent scandals, the NSA spying scandal is particularly frightening. Between our phone records, emails, text messages, and our whereabouts – which are provided courtesy of our cellphones – the government has admitted to knowing all our secrets.

Now, the justification for granting the regime this unconstitutional spying power is based on the idea that the snooping makes us safer. But does it really make us more secure? Ben Franklin said that “Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.”

Broadly speaking, Americans agree that politicos are slippery folk. So why would we trust them with such untold power? The record shows that, up to now, Obama and his team aren’t worthy of unlimited access to our most personal and intimate information.

Our Fears Are Justified

Based on their statements and actions, America’s leaders believe that we‘re all potential threats to the Federal government. And now Obama is learning that trust (or a lack of trust) is a two-way street.

You see, everything comes down to trust. And the American people have lost theirs in this administration. Following the string of recent scandals, it’s impossible to ignore that there’s a distinct pattern of abuse of power in Obama’s administration. Let’s face it…

• It’s abuse of power when the IRS and other federal agencies are used to target political opponents.
• It’s abuse of power when the DOJ is digging into the phone records of journalists.
• It’s abuse of power when Kathleen Sebelius shakes down the same insurance companies that she regulates to pay for Obamacare.
• It’s abuse of power when the government blames a YouTube video for what happened at the Benghazi compound.
• It’s abuse of power to order the summary execution of an American citizen without a trial via drone strike… even if the execution takes place in Yemen, or some other far-off land.

So here’s the bottom line… why would we trust the Obama administration to not abuse the NSA’s spying powers, too?

The Sad Truth

All this spying on innocent Americans didn’t collar the Tsarnaev brothers ahead of the Boston Marathon bombing. And it’s clear they made abundant use of smartphones and the internet. Heck, we even had a warning from Russian security officials that the older Tsarnaev brother was a threat, and we couldn’t catch them.

The spying on innocent Americans didn’t collar Major Nidal Hasan before he massacred soldiers at Fort Hood, and he regularly surfed to jihadi websites.

Instead of focusing on the real problem characters, the Obama administration wants to know who you and I talk to. As Senator Dianne Feinstein, who was supposed to be providing congressional oversight, stated this last week, the authorities need this information in case someone might become a terrorist in the future.

But only the most compliant of citizen sheep would believe that Obama and his team won’t abuse this spying power.

Let’s hope that Congress will have the fortitude to put this frightening episode of domestic spying in the history books and make clear that the government only has the power to collect data on suspects of a crime.

Congressman Louie Gohmert issues a stark warning on the House floor…

America is suffering from what could be diagnosed as a terminal disease (Scandalistis.) We have been immersed in scandals such as Fast and Furious and the Benghazi massacre, AP, James Rosen, FOX, and IRS.  Tighten your seat belt folks; there’s more coming!  The know-nothing President without a past who landed from nowhere is on the fast track and is hellbent on taking our Nation down.

As if this isn’t enough, the word on the street is that the NSA has infiltrated our social media and our emails, seized our telephones, and is monitoring our whereabouts and personal lives literally by the minute.  For those who are defending these actions, please tell Americans how this monstrous database has saved us from terrorist attacks.

Obviously, the super-sophisticated database didn’t stop the Benghazi terrorist attacks or the murders of two border agents when our guns were walking across the border into Mexico.

The Boston Bombers evidently didn’t come under the NSA radar, or many lives and deaths would not have occurred. So just what does this NSA monstrosity do besides collect our personal information for future use?

But there’s a much bigger scheme going on behind our backs that will be our demise if not stopped.  Sometimes the truth is so obvious that we fail to see the forest for the trees.  Actually, the real Obama did stand up and expose himself in 2008; but Americans fell for his “dog and pony” show and missed the red flags.  He’s not just fooled us once, but twice – shame on us.

Obama’s trail from 2007 until June 2013 leads to the Taqiyyah Doctrine, which explains his arrogance and why he has blissfully told lies and reneged on his many campaign promises. Although the doctrine is rather vague and ambiguous, it offers more loopholes for the believer.

The doctrine empowers a devout Muslim by encouraging lying, misrepresentation, and deceit in order to protect one’s self and their religion. The doctrine is pretty much a defense apparatus that allows the believer to do whatever it takes to preserve his or her life and property and maintain his self esteem, sovereignty, and leadership. When necessary, one is allowed to lie and deceive as long as the believer conceals his true identity – if the shoe fits, Obama, wear it.

A brief look at our present population will expose some shocking truths that many disregard due to ignorance or complacency (or, frankly, they just have too much on their plate to absorb any more crap. )

There are approximately 7 million Muslims in the USA and over 1200 mosques; and although considered a minority group, the Muslim religion is the fastest growing religion in our Nation.  Who are they converting? The highest number of converts is from the African American community (64%), followed by white Americans (27 %.)

According to various reports, approximately 50% of the Muslim community living on our turf practices the Taqiyyah Doctrine; and Barack Hussein Obama appears to be in that 50% bracket.

Would the real Obama please stand up?! The Commander in Chief of the greatest Nation in the world who can’t say the word “terrorist” and calls the Fort Hood Massacre “workplace violence.”  The person who declares Gitmo will be closed during his second term.

Look no further – he is the person supporting the Muslim Brotherhood in their takeover of the Middle East. This is the same person who has strategically placed members of the Muslim Brotherhood in our White House and meddled with our children’s education.

He’s the one too preoccupied preparing his campaign speech for Las Vegas to worry about the Benghazi murders. The same man ran to the rescue of the Boston Bombing suspect, intercepting interrogation of the terrorist by reading his Miranda rights.

He was the enabler behind the scenes expediting two fake tax exempt charities with Lois Lerner’s able assistance. One was for his step grandmother, the Mama Sarah Obama Foundation (MSOF), and the other one the Barack H. Obama Foundation (BHOF) for his ½ brother Malik Obama. Each foundation supports terror with policies that benefit Obama’s Islamic agenda.

The real Obama did stand up in 2008 on thru 2012 – it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out who the Commander in Chief really is. Forget the birth certificate just follow his trail.

The Taqiyyah Doctrine is a primary defense mechanism promoting stealth Jihad. It is considered a fairly peaceful jihad, not overtly violent. Stealth Jihad is an extremely effective way that the Muslims use to infiltrate and change our government, civic organizations, and general population for the purposes of taking over our Country. Obama is advancing Sharia Law quickly in the USA while hiding behind the Taqiyyah Doctrine.

Don’t be surprised if Obama starts shipping Muslims into our Country by the boatload between now and 2016 because he needs millions of boots on the ground to convert our Nation to Sharia Law. If all else fails, big sis Napolitano has his back; she’s buying up ammo and arms like they’re going out of style. Remember, Obama can declare Martial Law at the drop of a hat!

In the interim, keep an eye on this person some call Obama. Money, arms, and ammo will continue flowing to the Middle East. There will be more Muslim Brotherhood members appointed to his cabinet, and the Muslim Brotherhood terrorists will become frequent flyers at our White House.  Stealth Jihad is alive and well; Obama will be making many changes in order to assist Muslims as they continue infiltrating our Nation.

Congressman Steve King drops a bombshell on Glenn Beck’s program…

Speaking of databases, there’s one out there that’s more than a little disturbing.  It’s but one more devious plan created by none other than Barack Hussein Obama to store personal information on our children.  No wonder Maxine Waters spouted off that Obama’s database knew everything about everybody – this is one of the few times that Maxine was telling the truth.

Obama actually planned this scandal back in 2009 – why Republicans and Democrats didn’t even raise an eyebrow is a total mystery. Obama helped himself to several billion dollars of our stimulus money and threw it into a pot for Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, placing him in charge of mining our children’s personal information for Obama’s database.

Federal law put in place restrictions back in 1979 when the Department of Education was launched. The law specifically stated that it was illegal for the White House to have a Federal Education database.

As usual, the law does not apply to Obama. Obama and Duncan promised an ungodly amount of money to the States suffering from a horrific recession if they would make a deal and trust Washington to take over the education system of our children.

There’s one more minor stipulation that Obama is requesting.  He wants each State to create a database containing personal information on our kids and forward that information to none other than the Secretary of Education. Obama and old Arne have prepared the template for these databases containing hundreds of personal data requirements from religion to parent’s income.

Obama’s strategy is to have total control of our children and their parents from youth through adulthood. Stealth Jihad at work right under our noses!

Obama’s Muslim Brotherhood is now partnering up with our Department of Education and the State Department to create an online program (Qatar) that will connect our United States schools with classrooms abroad.  As usual, they leave out some pertinent details.  My bet would be this; they are partnering with Middle Eastern Countries under Muslim Brotherhood control in an attempt to convert our children.

The founder of the Qatar Foundation is the same person who founded Al Jazeera.  Hassan Al Banna, a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, works for the foundation that offers various language courses, scholarships, and other programs integrated into the Department of Education.

FYI – one of the board members of this new community organization is Vartan Gregorian. WND previously exposed vital information about Gregorian, who served as a point man in granting $49.2 million in startup capital to an education-reform project founded by former Weather Underground terrorist William Ayers and chaired by Obama.

So while Americans are trying to sift through the NSA scandal, it might be wise to investigate Obama’s “Mother of all databases” that is mining personal information on our youth.

The State Department and Department of Education have joined hands, giving Islamic Terrorists unmonitored access to our children along with creating an unlawful database on our kids. This is the perfect example of Stealth Jihad – non-violent Jihad used by the Muslims to infiltrate and change our government.

May God Bless America

Chicago, a perfect example of liberalism at work, is crying for help!

Texas Gov. Rick Perry is fighting on the front lines in the so-called “war on Christmas.”

On Thursday, Perry signed what has been dubbed the “Merry Christmas bill” into law. The measure allows schools to display religious symbols such as nativity scenes and Christmas trees so long as at least one other religious image or secular icon is also included.

In addition, the new law allows staff members and students at the state’s public schools to exchange traditional holiday greetings, such as “Merry Christmas,” “Happy Hanukkah” and “happy holidays” without fear of reprisal.

“It’s a shame that a bill like this one I’m signing today is even required, but I’m proud that we’re standing up for religious freedom in this state,” Perry said at a “Religious freedom does not mean freedom from religion.”

When I was growing up, liberals were people like Hubert Humphrey and Ed Muskie and George McGovern.

You might have disagreed with their politics; but you never doubted their sincerity, their patriotism, or their humanity.

Based on her act this past week, I’m not sure I can even call Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius a liberal in the classical meaning of the word.  How the group that says it is all worried about human beings, life, and the quality thereof can claim her as one of their own is a mystery to me.

Last week, the news media brought a story to our attention. Ten year old Sarah Murnaghan from Newtown Square, Pennsylvania needs a new lung.  She has Cystic Fibrosis and a very short time left to live absent a lung transplant.

If she was 12 years old, she would be on the list for an adult lung.  Her doctors say she could handle that adult lung.

But the rules enforced by Sebelius say that a 10 year old only gets a pediatric lung.  And those aren’t available often. Frankly, kids don’t die with lungs intact as often as adults do.

So, Sarah’s parents made a simple request.  Waive the rule, and put her on the adult list.

Nope, says Ms. Sebelius.  Not gonna do it.  Wouldn’t be prudent. Kids die all the time.

Frankly, she sounded like a bad Dana Carvey imitation.

This is a nation that both went to the moon and had its first heart transplant within a one-year period.  This is a nation in which we are constantly reminded by the so-called heirs to the Humphrey-Muskie-McGovern legacy that we owe it to the least of us to take care of them.

What is this bitch thinking?

She was straightened out almost immediately by a Philadelphia Federal Judge who ordered her to put Sarah on the adult list.

Perhaps it’s all that supporting of abortion that makes life so meaningless to clowns like Sebelius.  Or, perhaps, she’s just the kind of person who genuinely doesn’t care.

In Sebelius’ case, the pro-abortion crowd got her elected as Governor in Kansas, and she had a close relationship with the infamous George Tiller (a.k.a. “Tiller the baby killer”) before he was shot to death in 2009. (John Kennedy was assassinated.  This gangster was shot, to paraphrase Chris Rock.)

So it should be clear to most right thinking people that Sebelius clearly has the ability to look at a child and shrug off the possibility that she might die unless Sebelius took a particular action that she didn’t, for inexplicable reasons, want to take.  We would note, after all, that as Governor of Kansas, she repeatedly defended Tiller’s illegal late term abortions, thus condemning many children to death.

Still, we need to ask exactly what this nation is becoming when a cabinet secretary is perfectly willing to stand by and watch a 10 year old girl die because she’s not 12.  Just think about the death panels this woman will be in charge of at HHS when Obamacare goes into effect.

Forgetting about her defense of George Tiller’s late term abortions, if Sebelius can watch a 10 year old girl die because she’s not 12, what might she say about your chemotherapy when you are 70?

Put her together with the IRS, and you get what the so-called liberals have made our government into.

Barack Obama, Eric Holder, and Kathleen Sebelius appear to be representative of what liberalism has become.

And that faint sound you hear is Hubert Humphrey turning over in his grave.

This isn’t an Obama-bashing piece.

This is frank commentary born from the key pad of a free man wondering how long freedom endures under the current regime- let alone while carrying damage done by predecessors.

The NDAA, NSA, and IRS scandals alone paint a dim picture of presidential opinions toward those of us on the proverbial “chitlin circuit” devoid of insider perks or bundler bankrolls.

Obama is either a Black dictator (despite being bi-racial) using his color to cloak autocracy (which would make the average White supremacist blush), or a misunderstood monarch who finds himself in these messes through no fault of his own?

Take your pick.

When white guys like J. Edgar Hoover or Richard Nixon spied on allegedly private communications of non-criminal, non-treasonous Americans, sizable bi-partisan choruses bellowed disapproval.

Kudos to the ACLU for filing suit regarding NSA eavesdropping and showing itself, at least in this instance, to be independent of the chief executive’s hold over progressive activists.

Compare this to Al Sharpton’s timid I trust President Obama, but it’s a bad precedent because he won’t be president forever.”

Shameful accommodation from someone whose history includes a race-driven COINTELPRO pogrom aimed at Black mainstream and militant alike with no regard for the constitution nor basic decency.

Lending deafening credence to the Black dictator argument is not a peep from high profile Black progressives regarding Obama’s political spying.

Is this what 20th Century activists endured so a Black man (or bi-racial man who chooses to be one) can have his political spying overlooked by Black folks, once the most spied upon segment of the American populace until conservatives made it to the top of the chart?

Not quite my idea of progress, but what do I know? I call our ” precious ” drug dealers and other Hood horrors “chocolate Klansmen” and “zombies”!

Obama wants us to believe he’s a misunderstood monarch, beset by Negrophobic knaves praying for his reign to fail.

The best way to persuade liberty-loving skeptics and outright opponents is to stop acting like a Black dictator because that’s what he looks like.

When Richard Nixon played the dictator game, he had to pack up his bags and go home.

Sounds good to me.

It appears those of us who disagree with abortion no longer have the exact same freedoms as the rest of America.

The U.S. Supreme Court doesn’t want to take this case in which a Colorado ruling blocked abortion protestors from displaying images of aborted fetuses near a church where they might upset children. A judge later barred protestors from displaying the “gruesome images.”

In this case, the protestors were outside of an abortion-approving church. First of all, shame on any church that defends killing babies at any stage of development; but why are these images offensive?

If every kind of foul, gory, perverted, sexual, and sinful image imaginable is protected as an expression of free speech, how is this different? Is it simply an issue of the right to kill – um, I mean, the ‘right to choose’?

I understand that the graphic images of dead babies or baby body parts can be very disturbing to see; they should be disturbing! The problem is that too many Americans have become desensitized to blood, guts, gore, and violence. Studies prove that this has made our society worse.

Kids can watch endless violence on their video games and in movies; fighting, shooting, killing, bloody massacres, death, and murder are commonplace. Few complain to Hollywood or to video game producers about it. But now because of the complaints of abortion defenders and supporters, real images portraying the truth of abortion cannot be displayed in public?

Let’s just admit it so we can move on with the debate. Most of us have seen worse on television or in movies, but we can disconnect from it because we know it is make-believe.

We have bought liberal lies and talking points, and we have lost our compassion for the most vulnerable. Father Frank Pavone once said, “America will not reject abortion until America sees abortion.” Is that what it will take to shake us out of complacency and selfishness? Sadly, many people don’t want to know the truth.

With the help of the government, media, Hollywood, and Planned Parenthood’s strategic marketing, the lines have been blurred regarding life. They have sold the ideas of convenience and sexual experimentation while minimizing morality.

A human heart begins beating between 4 – 6 weeks after conception, and ultrasound imagery provides indisputable evidence of life in the womb. Some call them ‘pre-born’ babies. Truth is inconvenient to those who are making money from destroying lives. (See Kermit Gosnell)

If telling the truth and displaying graphic photos helped wake up apathetic people in order to save Jews from the Holocaust and helped save black people from lynchings, why can’t we do the same thing in an effort to save even more lives?

It all comes back to who America chooses to live for: God or man?

“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful… My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.” (Psalm 139:13-16)

God is the Creator of all life, He knows the number of our days, and He sustains all things.

We must support free speech rights, including those of the pro-life movement; and we need to speak up any way we can to raise awareness about America’s ongoing holocaust.

And NBC can’t help but gush over this “historic” moment…

There exist in today’s America a rising number of groups advocating secession from the U.S. in several states. In decades past, such movements would have likely been immediately relegated to the dustbin of absurdity; however, advocates for the cause currently include mainstream patriots upset with the metastasizing tyranny they see originating in Washington, D.C.

Of all the states seeking independence, the effort in my home state of Texas is clearly most prominent. Gaining attention through petitions that circulated after Barack Obama’s re-election, the Texas Nationalist Movement was active long before 2012.

Curious about the actual feasibility of such an ambitious proposal, I recently had the opportunity to meet with organizers in my county.

Roger Jordan and Gerald Neece serve as the Parker County TNM coordinator and deputy coordinator, respectively, and took time to break down the specifics of the movement and their reasons for becoming involved.

The uproar among leftists over Chick-fil-A’s support of traditional marriage was a tipping point for Jordan, he said, prompting him to realize that something unrecognizable had replaced the nation he knew and loved.

“After that, I started looking at independence movements,” he said, though some he researched initially were “too militant for me.”

TNM, on the other hand, “works with the legislation,” he said. “It’s a peaceful movement.”

He initially became involved by contacting local representatives and traveling to Austin with his wife to learn more from state leaders.

“One of the biggest things we come across is people saying, ‘You can’t do that,’” Jordan explained, adding that Texas is in a uniquely advantageous position to attain independence.

A country is defined by its political, economic, and cultural characteristics, he said, noting that the Lone Star State possesses its own identity in each category.

Depending on criteria used, Texas has between the 10th and 14th largest economy in the world, he said, adding that it is diversified among a plethora of industries and that the state has a positive trade balance with other states.

Furthermore, he said that the state has an independent power grid; and nearly all major pipelines either originate or run through Texas.

Another misconception Jordan addressed is the perceived lack of patriotism associated with secessionist movement.

“What’s the higher patriotism?” he asked, explaining that the TNM embraces founding principles instead of the bloated federal government currently stifling American freedom.

Though both Jordan and Neece expressed support for the work of the Tea Party, they feel the time for reform has passed.

“The idea they’re going to make a dent is $16 trillion in debt is ridiculous,” Jordan said. As federal power increases, the rights of states and individuals necessarily diminishes, he noted.

“We don’t repeal laws,” he said. “It took 13 years to repeal abolition as unpopular as that was.”
Many people forget, Neece interjected, that states created the federal government – not the other way around.

“Why do we even have states at this point?” he asked, decrying the “iron-handed despotism” feared by anti-Federalists during the nation’s founding. “It’s just prophetic.”

The federal government has passed an average of 300 laws each year since 1970 and currently spends $700,000 each second. Such rampant growth is unsustainable, and TNM members want to get out while they still can.

“We organize volunteers to act,” Neece said, explaining that nominal membership dues support grassroots efforts, not funding lobbyists. The group will also be supporting candidates through a political action committee, he said, and advertisements will soon carry the message across television and radio airwaves.

Jordan noted that 14 new countries have formed within the past two decades, and there are currently 72 “widely recognized independence movement” throughout the world. “This is a revolution and it’s too big to stop.”

While public schools teach that “a good citizen is somebody loyal to the government, not the Constitution,” he noted “our Constitution describes 50 sovereign republics.”

The Texas Nationalist Movement began in 1995, Neece said, quashing misconceptions that the group is merely against Obama’s policies.

“We’re not just anti-Democrat,” he said, adding that the organization has members in each state and across the world. Neece also responded to another common inference.

“We are not a militia,” he said, “and notice I didn’t wink when I said that.”

The movement isn’t about rousing rabble, he explained, adding that if “the Texas Nationalist Movement is successful, we disappear.”

Jordan admitted that “Texas independence on its face looks crazy,” but he and many others feel that its far crazier to stand idly by as America is destroyed from within.

Though I haven’t officially joined the secessionist cause, I am seriously considering it. Jordan and Neece offered a cognizant, cohesive plan of action; and those involved warrant gratitude for championing freedom and liberty despite unfavorable odds.

The movement highlights the same moral character embodied by our founders nearly 250 years ago and certainly deserves to be taken seriously.

House Speaker John Boehner has led Republicans in a direction opposite of where the grassroots Republicans want to go. He has compromised over and over again with Obama. One of his worst moments came recently when he declared that Edward Snowden, the hero who disclosed the massive Orwellian surveillance program being carried out by the NSA, was a “traitor.” Edward Snowden risked his own life and liberty in order to expose this evil program that was destroying our liberty.  Boehner, on the other hand,  is a mouthpiece for the Republican establishment, an establishment that values its power above all else, including the freedoms we hold dear as a nation.

One wonders which side Boehner would have chosen during the American Revolution. Would he have chosen to risk hanging with the brave men defending our liberty at the 2nd Continental Congress, or would he have taken the easy route and sided with tyrannical England, the greatest military power on the face of the planet ? It is unfortunate to have to ask this question about one of our supposed leaders, but it is worth asking considering that he would call one of the great heroes of our time, Edward Snowden, a traitor.

Rand Paul provides a unique contrast with John Boehner. He represents much of what is right about the Republican Party. Of course, by standing up for our liberties, he is being thrown into the “wacko bird” category by establishment Republicans like John McCain and Boehner. He has called for a legal challenge to the NSA’s spy program, a very reasonable position in light of recent revelations. He has stood up over and over again for positions that Americans can be proud of.  He has his flaws, but he is a man of courage and one who genuinely holds our liberties to be dear. There are others like him, such as Representatives Justin Amash and Thomas Massie.

The war between the Boehner and McCain wing of the party and Rand Paul and Ted Cruz wing will not be an easy one. The establishment is blessed with abundant resources and the media’ s favor. However, the hearts of the people are with Rand Paul; this is a powerful weapon indeed. Might another party have to form, one where the grassroots Republicans will be able to have true leaders who listen to them instead of establishment people who listen to the media? Indeed it might. For the time being, though, let’s stand with Rand Paul as he attempts to change the American discourse in the direction of liberty.

“The U.S. Constitution doesn’t guarantee happiness, only the pursuit of it. You have to catch up with it yourself.”– attributed to Benjamin Franklin

There is no doubt America is being assaulted by an administration that is tyrannical, attempting to rule through policy – not law – only because the American people have become rebels against their own foundational principles and have eaten the fruit of their own ways.

For those who have not taken the time to understand history (God’s story), He promised judgment to a disobedient people. Read Deuteronomy 28, and you will see there are 14 verses of blessings to a people who keep the commandments of the Lord, while there stands 54 verses of curses against those who refuse God’s rule.

Let’s take a look at what took place just this last week in America on the behalf of a people who respond to God’s commandments. Instead of magnifying crimes – which only strengthens tyranny – the American people are beginning to magnify the law unto judgment in order to establish righteousness and peace (Isaiah 51:4):

• Operation Rescue let out a press release this week stating that in 2013 alone, 30 abortion clinics have been closed down, more than doubling the amount of closures over all of last year.
• A tea party group in southern California held an “Impeach Obama” demonstration on a major freeway overpass, holding signs such as “Remember Benghazi” and “Obama Lies.” Their protest brought so much attention that it backed up traffic over 10 miles!
• It was also reported that officials in eight northern Colorado counties united in opposition to the state’s new gun control laws and oil and gas regulations, going so far as considering seceding and forming a new state, North Colorado. Citizens also successfully petitioned to recall two senators, Senate President John Morse and Sen. Angela Giron, who continuously ignored their constituents and voted for gun control legislation.
• The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) filed a lawsuit against the IRS on behalf of 25 tea party groups that were targeted when seeking tax-exempt status. Jay Sekulow, chief counsel of the ACLJ, stated, “The IRS and the federal government are not going to get away with this unlawful targeting of conservative groups. … The lawsuit sends a very powerful message to the IRS and the Obama administration – including the White House: Americans are not going to be bullied and intimidated by our government.”
• After pressure from anti-religious groups to keep prayer out of high school graduations, Liberty High School Valedictorian Roy Costner IV took to the podium, tore up his pre-approved speech, and instead thanked his parents for leading him to the Lord at a young age. He then proceeded to pray the Lord’s Prayer. The crowd burst into applause and cheers so loud that Costner’s voice was almost drowned out. Costner’s prayer has received worldwide support and media coverage.

So it stands true that God is willing to give what His people are willing to fight for. America, we fight the good fight of faith because the law is on our side, and God grants us the victory every time.
